Alice Arm Will Make Big Camp Says Mining Engineer Capital and the right kind of development will make the Alice Ann mining distriot of British Columbia one of the best in the province, according to Roland King, mining engineer of Spokane, who reoetitlv returned from inspecting properties in that district. King is president of the C. M. Fasset Co. of Spokane. "I examined the property of the Keystone Mining Company while in the Alice Arm district," said King. "It is a silvor-lead-zine proposition with good surface showings located in the same district as^tlie Dolly Varden mine. It is iu the gr'anite-argelliteformation and the ore deposition occurs along the contact with tlie coast batho- lite. The property is yet only a prospect, but with development should become a producer, "The Alice Arm district is mineralized right to the water's edge. Tlie mineralization is in quartz veins along the contact, in the granite-argellite formation, which appears to be a geological phenom- inaof the district. "I believe the Alice Arm district is only part of a mineralized belt that extends along the British Columbia coast and north into Alaska. In this belt the following mines are found: Engineer. Toric, Dolly Varden, Premier, Dunwell, B. C. Silver and others. They are all along the contact with the granite batliolite that extends along the coast." King states that the ore of the district runs to high values in silver and iu one small property he saw splendid specimens of ruby and wire silver. While in the district King said that he heard from several sources that operations at the Dolly Varden mine were to be resumed. King was also impressed by other resources of the Alice Arm I section especially the abundance of water power and the amount of | timber.—Spokane Mining Truth. I Alice Arm Road Completed The new street, which has been constructed by the Public Works Department, connecting with the Shore Road at the Welcome Hotel, and extending to the lower portion of the town has been completed. A sidewalk has been built on each side, and the whole adds considerably to thedignity of the town. Excellent workmanship was shown in its construction, which reflects credit on those in charge, namely J, Wells district foreman and U. Graham. A short road and sidewalk was also built south of G. W. Brnggy's general store. Several low its along Valley Road have also sn repaired, which will be Instrumental in curtailing the cuss words of ledestrians who use it during the dark lights of the rainy reason. Another Anyox Record Broken Another record was broken in Anyox Iast week. This time, it was done by he Coastwise Steamship and Barge !o. whose boats handled record out- lound cargoes. The S. S. Mogul left with the biggest ingle cargo over taken from Anyox, lonsisting of 4,578 tons. The Amur ]eft with 2,150 tons, and the Griffco vitti 2,250 tons. The cargoes consisted T copper, concentrates and ore. The S. S. Marmion arrived at Anyox Irom Stewart last Saturday with 250 Ions of Premier ore, and towing scow Tlriff with 800 tons. 230 Children Attended Anyox Schools On Saturday, at 7 p.m. the annual meeting of the School Board Trustees was held in the Public School. Mr. W. F. Barclay acted as chairman. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. The amount of expenditures during the past term amounted to $15,056.85 and this was approved by the meeting. An estimate of expenditure for the ensuing year amounted tofld- 278.00. School children who attend ed High School were 31. and public school attendance numbered 199, making a total of 230. The above includes all pupils who have been taught by the Granby Go school staff. The school saving system was very effective, over $6,500.00 having been saved by the children through School Bank in four years. During last winter night classes under the auspices of the Granby Bay School Board, were conducted iii the following subjects: English for foreigners, electricity, mineralogy, mechanical drawing, metallurgy, High School subjects and instrumental music. Mr. F. M. Kelley was relected as school board trustee and Mrs. O. K.

The losers led most of the way, but a last inning rally by the winners which netted them four runs put the game on ice. "Bullet" Chris Cane pitched five innings for the losers, but the pace proved too fast for Chris and he was dcrricked in fayor of Adams. Harry Chapman turned in a nice game in the right garden for the Store. Harry is a veritable speed demon on the paths and also a mean man with the willow. Japk Moore tossed them over in fine style for the winners, he went the entire distance without difficulty and an even dozen of the opposition were retired via the strike out route. Geo Lace wus the big man with the stick when he poled out a nice three base clout in the fifth inning. "Iodine" Hill was behind the log for the Store and caught a fine game, many of the opposition being caught flat footed in attempting to steal second. Walter Olson was the umpire, he called them in fine style, altho' he wasted no time in leaving the park after the game. TEAMS Store; Varley s.s., Hill c,Nickerson 2b.,.

Noted Geologist Finishes Examination Melodians Hold Big Dance at Alice Arm Hotel An extraordinary number of Anyox people assembled at the Alice Arm Hotel on Saturday, when a dance was held by the Mine Club Melodians. Space on the floor was taxed to the limit throughout the evening, and the celebrated Mine orchestra kept things moving at a lively pace. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and the Melodians are to be complimented on enabling everyone to spend such a pleasant evening. Large numbers of the visitors extended their visit until Sunday evening. Beautiful weather prevailed, and the magnificentscenery of the district was greatly admired. ANYOX NOTES Stan Ballard left on holidays for Vancouver on Monday. T. W.

MoLeod, Whitehead and White were arrivals on Friday from Vancouver. f Continued on page I Dr. F. L. Slocum, the eminent geologist and mining engineer of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, who has made an exhaustive examination of the Dolly Varden and Wolf mines, and also the entire upper Kitsault country, completed his work last Saturday. During the latter ten days he was assisted by J. F. Tener of Vanoouver, who made an examination of the properties last summer. Dr. Slocum spent a whole month in the district, during which he gathered a mass of valuable data. Interveiwed by the Herald, he was reticent in regard to making a public statement of probable future developments, but stated that he came to spend a few days, and found the country interesting enough to spend a month. He left for Pittsburg on Monday via Vancouver. Existence of Tremendous Ore Bodies Proved on Marmot Metals Eagle, LeRoy and Silver Cord will be Developed A programme of development work has been outlined on the Alice Arm properties of the British Colonial Securities Ltd. of Vancouver, states W. G. McMorris, manager of the company, who arrived in Alice Arm on Monday. The properties controlled by the company are the Eagle, near the La Rose, and the Silver Cor^ and LeRoy on the North-east fork of the Kitsault river. The first work undertaken will consist of surface stripping of the ore bodies, and this has already commenced on the Eagle. When this work has progressed far enough to determine the size and dip of the ore bodies, it is probable that they will be further developed by diamond drilling. Mr. McMorris will spend a week examining the properties, accompanied by W. S. Bacon, mining ing engineer of Vancouver. Alice Arm will be Ensured against Kitsault River Floods P. Philip, assistant provincial superintendent of public work, G. C. Mackay district engineer, and W. Talbot assistant district engineer, left Alice Arm last Friday after inspecting work under way and laying plans for future undertakings. When taking his departure, Mr. Philip stated that the west bank of the Kitsault river would be strengthened this year, so that any danger of flooding the town would be eliminated. Mining Exchange Opened Harry Smith Ltd. of Alice Arm, has opened a mining exchange, rentals and notary public office in the Nuoioh Block. Another long felt want has been filled, and it is an additional sign that the prosperity of the camp is increasing. That the mining property owned by the Marmot Metals Mining Co. and situated on the Marmot river near Stewart, will develop into one the biggest producers of the district is the opinion of Geo. W. Bruggy of Alice Arm who visited the property last week and who is one of the chief stock holders. Mr. Bruggy states that the large ore showings recently discovored are almost unbelievable. He was accompanied by Angus McLeod, managing director and superintendent of the company and a thorough examination was made. The No. 1 ledge has been traced on the surface for a distance of 1200 feet, and is still being followed. A sample taken across 15 feet gave returns of $26.80 per ton in gold silver and zinc. The ground at this point is extremely steep, and it is estimated that this vertical steepness proves the ore at a depth of 600 feet without the expense of driving a tunnel. An ore sample from ledge No. 2 gave values of $21.60 per ton in gold, silver and zinc.

Steadily each year the number of visitors to Alice Arm from Anyox increases, and before the end of the present summer season it is expected that all previous records will be broken. For those who desire a quiet rest, close to nature, Alice Arm is the ideal place. For those who desire strenuous exercise to harden their muscles and expand their lungs, by hikes through the woods, mountain climbing or rowing, Alice Arm offers a splendid opportunity. Its hillsides are covered with berries; its gardens full of flowers and vegetables. It is one of nature s beauty spots of the coast. For those who wish to spend an inexpensive vacation, amid the beauties of nature, the district of Alice Arm is second to none on the continent. The improving of the street system of Alice Arm. by the Public Works Department is a commendable undertaking. We realize that the first work in the district is to give access to mining properties, but it must be admitted that the town has been sadly neglected. Alice Arm is the distributing point for a rich and extensive mineral region, and it is high time it commenced to take on a more important appearance. It is the first view that greets the visitor, and a neat and attractive town indicates a rich tributary country, and it also spells permanency. Alice Arm has been in existence long enough to emerge from the jumble-of-shacks period, and its future warrants still further substantial improvements. Anyox is the wonder city of British Columbia. Year in and year out it pours out it's vast wealth of copper, gold and silver. It produces more copper than any other town in the British Empire. It employs over 1000 men through the year. It's payroll of nearly $2, 000,000 and an equal amount for supplies is distributed throughout the province. It pays enormous sums into the provincial treasury for taxes. Each year hundreds arrive from all over the province to take a hand directly or indirectly in the creating of this wealth. Each year hundreds who have accumulated a modest sum leave, some to purchase a small ranch, some to enter business, while others just desire a change from the monotony of everyday work of a smelter town. Year by year without ostentation the work of History and Production of Word's Early Gold Countries Gold is the most ductile of all the metals. 11 is too soft for use pure, and to harden it, it is alloyed with copper or silver. The coinage of the British Bin pi re contains 22 parts of gold to two parts of copper. Such gold is said to be 22 carats line. Gold is first mentioned in the Bible in Genesis II-II. The rivers (lowing out of Eden are enumerated and one is said to flow through a land where there is gold. The value of gold compared with silver is said to have been estimated in the time of the Greek historian Herodotus, 450 B. C. at about ten to one- At the time of the Greek philosopher Plato, 380 B. (J., it \yas 12 to one; today it is about thirty to one. Tbe Spaniards discovered gold in South America in 1493, from which time until 1731 they carried from South America 6,000 millions of "pieces of eight" in registered gold and silver, exclusive of what was unregistered. One piece of gold weighing 60 pounds troy was found near La Paz, a town in Peru, in 1730. Gold was discovered in Malacca in 1732; in New Andalusia in 1785; in Ceylon in 1800. Gold was discovered in California in September, 1817; and in Australia in 1851. It is estimated that between 1851 and 1859 gold to value of $450,000,000 was exported from Vic: toria, Australia alone. In April, 1858, gold was discovered in British Columbia, and a rush of miners to the goldfields followed. In New Zealand gold was discovered in 1861, and in the Transvaal, in South Africa. The Witwatersrand, South Africa, was declared a public goldfield in September, 1886. In South Australia gold discoveries were made in October of that year. In West Australia discoveries were made in July, 1891. In theKlondike district of the Yukon Territory, gold was discovered in 1896. The new goldfield proved to be one of the richest in the world, and fortunes we're obtained from placer mining. During the past ten years production has greatly fallen off, but hydraulic mining is still carried on by several companies. fir H. M.

July 16, 1926 Existence of Tremendous Ore Bodies Proved on Marmot Metals Continued from Page 1 Ledges No. 3 and 4 were not sampled, as a cut will be made aoross them and samples then assayed. A solid ore sample taken from No. 1 ledge gave returns of 0.97 gold, 10.01 silver, and 46 per cent zinc, a total value of $93.00 per ton. While descending tho hill an outcropping was noticed by Mr. McLeod, and a sample broken off for assaying, An examination showed it to contain ruby silver and when assayed it gave the gratifying result of 68 ozs. silver per ton. This recent big zinc discovery on the Marmot Metals is the second in the north,- the only other big known zinc deposits is located on McGrath mountain at Alice Arm. Mr. Bruggy on his return trip to Stewart and Hyder when questioned regarding the recent big discovery advised his friends to inspect it themselves as the magnitude of the ore bodies were unbelievable unless seen. The property is only i\ miles from tidewater. It is connected with a good pack trail, and a wagon road is now being built by the government. It is being developed under the efficient management of Angus McLeod, who is one of the best practical mining men in • the north. He is also in charge of development work at the Big Missouri. While at Stewart Mr. Bruggy visited the Premier, B. C. Silver, Big Missouri and other operating mines. Fifteen years ago he hiked the Salmon River valley with a pack, and an indifferent foot trail, but now the same journey was made sitting on soft cushions in an automobile. He was accompanied on the trip by his daughter Kathleen. BRIEFS If a man didn't have to propose to the girl, they might keep their engagement secret. Speed cop on Kingsway: "Say, why all the hurry?

Production Last Ten Years, $404,649,375 Lode mining has only been in progress for about 25 years, and only about one-half of the Province has been even prospected; 200,000 square miles of unexplored mineral bearing land are open for prospecting. The Mining Laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than those of any other Province in the Dominion, or any Colony in the British Empire. Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by Crown Grants. Practically all British Columbia Mineral Properties upon which development work has been done are described in some one of the Annual Reports of the Minister of Mines. Those considering mining investments should refer to such reports. They are available without charge on application to the Department of Mines, Victoria, B. C. Reports covering each of the six mineral Survey Districts are published separately, and are available on application.
