On Monday evening, September 19th. the P. T. A. met at the Public School for the purpose of conducting business and appointing of the various committees. At the meeting in May last a special committee was appointed for the nomination of the different officers, of which committee Mr. Hartley was convenor. Mrs. R. 0. Cutler, president, called for a report from Mr. Hartley who submitted a list of nominations for the ensuing year, listed as follows: Hon. President, Mr. Hartley. President, Mrs. R. 0. Cutler. Vice-President, Mrs. J. A. McMaster. Recording Secretary, Mr. For- dyce Clark. Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. McTaggart. Treasurer, Mrs. H. Patrick. Convenor Sports, Mr. Thorns- teinsson. ,: Convenor Entertainment, Mrs W. F. Eve. i Convenor Membership, Mrs. Cow (Beach) Mrs. Neiler (Mine.) Convenor Programme, Mr. Campbell. It was moved by the Rev. C. D. Clarke and seconded by Mrs. Wynne that the list as submitted by the Nominating Committee be accepted for the year. Carried unanimously. Moved by Rev. Clarke and sec-1 onded by Mrs. Eve that lettersf of appreciation be sent the various members who had left town thanking them for their splendid co-operation in matters concerning the P. T. A. and for the good work they had done while here. Business being closed for the evening the next venture was to meet the new teachers. There was a good representative membership present and to start things right the President in her usual versatile manner issued tags to everyone present in order that they could write their names on and go around and get together. The rest was just a matter of conventionality. Mrs. Barclay and Mrs. Cloke served refreshments during the evening, which were much enjoyed. The P. T. A. meet every third Monday in the month and it is hoped that every parent will make an effort to get to these meetings and become members of this worthy organization and thus enjoy the good things in store for the coming season. Anyox Tennis Finals to Be Played Tomorrow Men's finals will be played off on Sunday September 25th, when 0. G. Mclntyre meets F. F. Brown for the championship of the season. There have been some very hard fought games played this year and in particular should draw a large bunch of fans. At the time of going to press the ladies are in the midst of the semi-finals to decide who shall meet in the finals for the Monarch Life Cup. It is hoped that this too will be played off on Sunday. We hear on good authority that the "bloke" what wrote the song "It ain't goin' to rain no more" was not a member of the Tennis Club, so here's hoping for a real fine day. Season's Work Exceeds P. E. Peterson, who is in charge of operations at the Saddle property at Hastings Arm left on Wednesday for Vancouver. Prior to his departure, he stated that the season's operations had been terminated Some Fine Ore Bodies Have Been Encountered at Esperanza Mining of high grade silver is being steadily carried on at the Esperanza Mine and a shipment will be made to the smelter within the next few weeks. Mining has been conducted throughout the summer, and some fine ore showings have been exposed. At the present time the bulk of the high grade is being taken from an upraise which is being driven ftom the Baldy tunnel to the nearest point in No. 3 tunnel. The raise is following a vein of high grade ore composed of argentite silver which varies in width from 4 to 10 inches. The raise will be about 60 feet in length and its completion will give better ventilation in the mine. Some first class ore is also being mined from the Baldy stope. This vein has a width of 3 feet, 4 to 6 inches on the hanging wall being composed of high grade. The whole vein is composed of a first class milling ore, which will be utilized as soon as a mill is installed. During the summer the Baldy tunnel was extended a distance of New Roads and Trails Have Been Built Transportation facilities at the Copper Cliff and Vanguard properties have been much improved during the past few weeks. A good road, 5 feet wide and 1 mile in length has been constructed on the Vanguard. It is on a good grade and will allow sleighs and go-devils to be used for the hauling in of machinery necessary for development purposes. The same amount of work has been done on the Copper Cliff. S. Dumas has been in charge of construction work and he arrived in town yesterday with his crew, having completed the work for this season. Three quarters of a mile of pack trail has been built to the Tiger property. It was completed this week under the supervision of J. Graham. This trail will greatly facilitate the taking in of supplies to this promising property. Wagon Road, Member- Ship, Ore Sample, Etc. Discussed The result of this year's develop ment had far exceeded expectations 137 f eet, and has now been driven a and it was the intention of the Silver Crest Mines Co. Ltd., who are developing the property to considerably enlarge the development programme next summer. Operation of Toric Delayed The staff at the Toric mine was considerably reduced during the week. The reduction followed the return of A. C. H. Gerhardi from the south. Whether a new force will be engaged, and the mill put in operation this year is unknown. It is understood that some difficulty is being encountered in the starting up of the mill. F. D. Rice, left Alice Arm, on Thursday for Hastings Arm, where he will survey the Saddle property for the Silver Crest Mines Ltd. A location for an aerial tramway will also be surveyed. He was accompanied by Mrs. Rice, A. D. Yorke and Wm. Stephens. ANYOX NOTES f Anyox Shipping Notes The S. S. Griffco arrived from the south at 6.30 p.m. on Saturday loaded with 350 tons of lime rock and 1000 tons of general freight. She left for Stewart on Tuesday at 8 p.m.towing scow Grift, and arrived back on Thursday towing scow Pioneer with 1000 tons of Premier ore. The S. S. Amur arrived from Stewart on Monday at 9 a.m. loaded with 782 tons of Premier concentrates and 1130 tons of Premier ore. She loaded 169 tons of copper here and proceeded to Tacoma at 3 p.m. total distance of 335 feet. During the extending a hard dyke was cut through, and a vein of good milling ore 2 feet wide was exposed on the other side. This vein has streaks of high grade running through it. It was drifted on for 25 feet and a raise of 12 feet driven. The end of the raise showed that values were ncreasing. Operations at the mine are in charge of F. M. Crosby, who has a large amount of mining experience and he is confident that with the installation of a compressor plant and mill that the Esperanza will become a rich dividend payer. Plans are progressing for the reorganization and incorporation of the company. When this has been completed additional capital will be solicited so that a compressor plant and concentrating mill can be installed. The installation of a mill is the chief want. There being a large tonnage of milling ore both in the dumps and underground that will pay a handsome profit. The Esperanza has been a persistent shipper of high grade silver ore for several years, and a visit to the mine yesterday revealed the fact that ore is still being mined with no signs of exhaustion. It is expected that power drills will quickly develop a much larger tonnage of high grade and milling ore than has yet been encountered. I ! I. For a quiet rest try the Alioe Arm Hotel.

The regular meeting of the Alice Arm branch of the British Columbia Chamber of Mines was held in the Anglican Church on Monday evening. President 0. Evindson presided. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read by secretary A, D. Yorke. The question of a wagon road from the end of the railway to the Kitsault Glacier was again taken up, and the meeting was informed by the secretary and no action had yet been taken. The secretary was instructed to write to the Minister of Mines giving him all available data, and requesting that the commencement of construction start as soon as possible. H. F. Kergin stated that the government intended to spend a considerable sum of money in, the near future repairing the Kitsault Valley railway which was in a bad state of repair, and it was possible that this work would be done before a wagon road would be built. The Chairman informed the meeting that a piece of of ore, which Eo-tel. Pleasant surround-i was almost 80,id copper and weigh. 0. Evindson. proprietor. | j„g nearly 400 pounds was at the Vanguard. It had been presented to the Chamber of Mines, and he asked the sanction of the meeting in defraying the cost of transporting it to camp 8 so that it could be brought down. The sanction was given upon Al. Falconer stating that the price would not exceed $15. It will be sent to the Chamber of Mines at Vancouver for display purposes at the entrance of the building. In reply to a question, thesecretary stated that the total membership was twenty-six. Ways and means of increasing the membership were discussed. It was finally decided to appoint a committee of three to obtain new members. The committee being Neil Forbes, 0. Flint and E. Moss and they were instructed to report at the next regular meeting. It was deoided to hold future meetings at the School House. The question of providing a building owned by the local branch was discussed but laid over. H. F. Kergin who is a member of the Game Conservation Board stated that he would be pleased to accept any recommendation from the Alice Arm Chamber of Mines relative to the laws governing game in this district. The matter will be further discussed at the next regular meeting. ings Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Maxwell arrived home on Monday from an extended vaoation in the south.

ID. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. The proposal of the Alice Arm branch of the British Columbia Chamber of Mines to request the Minister of Mines to build a wagon road from the end of the railway to the Kitsault Glacier is sound. Transportation is, and always has been our chief want. Show a mining company how they can get in machinery and supplies when developing a property at a reasonable price and they are much more likely to become interested than if a property is inaccessable except for an indifferent pack trail, which is a quagmire with every shower of rain. Transportation costs are a large item of expense to anyone developing a new mining property. Poor transportation facilities have been the cause of many a promising prospect being turned down. Development work to date in the Upper Kitsault Country has proven the richness of this section. A wagon road would be a gilt edged security for the government. It would hasten the development of numerous properties to a shipping stage, and the taxes derived in one month from a company operating on a large scale would pay for a road many times over. Macadamized auto roads for tourists now being built in the south may be useful to some of the northern sourdoughs after they have made their million and wish to ride in their Rolls Royce with silk cushions for a stern end comforter instead of a hewn log. But at the present time they can get along without any fancy dressing for their roads,. A road that will carry a load of mining machinery or hold up a truck load of concentrates above the wheel hub is all that is asked. Natives Mining Ivory In Alaska An ivory harvest arrived at Tacoma recently on the schooner Boxer whioh represented an unintentional bequest from long dead Eskimos to the present generation. For ages natives of tlie islands in Behriiig Sea took walruses, ate the blubber and threw tlie gleaming white tusks on tlie dump or kitchen midden, back of their igloos. The piles accumulated during the centuries until tlie white man came with his trading schooners and eagerly bought the tusks of freshly- killed walruses. The Eskimos of today, remembering the wasteful habits of tlieir ancestors, promptly began to sink mines on the sites of ancient camps and villages. Each year for four years on St. Laurence Island alone they have dug out thousands of dollars worth of fossil ivory.

BRUGGY'S STORE Alice Arm QE3I 3QE About every year, generally in the spring when news is scarce, Vancouver and Prince Rupert newspapers, spread a 6-in. headline over their sheets telling the world at large what a great big advantage an ore smelter would be if built close to their towns. They tell of the enormous ore tonnage that is shipped to foreign countries to be created into metals, all of which is hot air, of the most torrid kind. We have often stated in these columns that this stuff is written by irresponsible persons, who often listen to some wild cat promoter who goes into hysterics over the millions and billions of tons of ore he has in sight, but needs money to get it out. The logical centre for a coast smelter is Anyox. It is centrally located in the vast coast mining district. Ore can be shipped north or south. Here is an up-to-date plant, which can be converted quickly and economically into a lead or zinc smelter or to treat any other kind of ore. The Granby Co. are in the mining and smelting business to make money and as soon as sufficient ore is guaranteed them whether it is lead, zinc or tin they will undoubtedly make the necess< ary changes to treat these ores.

Production Last Ten Years, $429,547,755 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 desoribed in some one of the Annual Keports 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. Beports covering each of the six mineral Survey Districts are pnblished separately, and are available on application.

Saturday, September 24 1927 Lindberg's Achievement Denuded Canadian Forests It may at first glance appear absurd to draw any connection between the Lindberg trans-Atlantic flight and the forests of Canada, but according to the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa, there is a very definite connection and many an acre of Canadian forest land has been temporarily laid bare as a direct result of this flight. The explanation may be summed up in one word—newsprint. The big city papers all over America had their circulation boosted enormously announcing thedetailed results of tho achievement and Canadian pulpwnod furnished the paper for most of this extra circulation It may not be genorally appreciated what newspaper circulation does to forest growth. According to the Natural Resources Service, one big daily with its various departments on a single million-copy edition will denude a spruce and balsam forest area of nearly 100 acres. Multiply this bjr a number of such papers, some with several editions per day and again by the number of editions sent to the presses each year and the total will rapidly grow into staggering if not alarmingly proportions. One Chicago paper giving the results of the recent mayoralty elections in that city alone consumed 580 cords of pulpwood for a single edition. Fourteen freight cars were required to handle the order. Wm. Bunting and John Stenbraten to Interest New Capital William Bunting has spent the summer on the Stampede Group, witli John Stenbraten, his partner in tlie property. They will seek to interest new capital this winter in the claims, the Hecla Mining Company having passed up the property on account of the distance from transportation. Paradise Mine Will Have Concentrating Mill It is announced that the Victoria syndicate will erect a 75-ton mill at tlie Paradise mine, which is being worked under lease from the Hon. Randolph Bruce, Mr. It. H. Stewart, mining engineer, will be in charge of this work. Aid to Prospectors for Transportation Only The acting territorial mining engineer of Alaska, D. B. Stewart, announces that funds are now available under recent territorial legislation for the assistance of prospectors. This aid is to be given to the extent of $150 a year for transportation purposes only, and is restricted to American citizens who have been resident in the territory for at least a year. The grant requires recipients to report within a year to the Commissioner of Transportation the nature of any discoveries made and the conditions in the locality. This information will be collected and made public, chiefly for the guidance of other prospectors. If current investigations in Alaska by the Union Sulphur Co. are successful, sulphur may sooil be added to the mineral exports ofthe territory. A strike has been made on the,| Gold drop property in the Beaver- dell district, and it is announced that shipments will be made as soon as a road is built to the mine. The property is operated by the Killarny syndicate of Vancouver, and Mr. William Mclntominy is in charge. Rapid and complete recovery of the Alaska salmon fisheries is on the way as a result of the basic principal laid down by the United States congress that at least fifty per cent of the salmon run yearly must be allowed to escape to the spawning beds, it was stated by Henry O'Malley, United States commissioner of fisheries.

Adaptability to hard Circumstances in order to study them with a view to overcoming them, is a mere stepping- stone to the foot of the born Inventor. And, however we look at them, Inventors are "born" as well as "made". An Inventor has the ability to step off, into Space as it were, to "take the plunge" to quote the man in the street, which more timid, or more sophisticated folk, lack. Most Inventions come out of two desires. A desire to save labor, and a desire for better service. But an even more fundamental stage lies back of these. The period in some man's life, of Rock-bottom Necessity. And so there has come down to us from the Ancients, who were fond of putting Truths into adages the pithy statement that "Necessity is the Mother of Invention." The Age of Necessity, is therefore the Age richest in Inventions. The Inventions of a fundamental order, those that saved mankind from e* tinction, rather than those that spared his strength. Regarded from this viewpoint what people more rich in Invention than the Indian? What people more capable of "making ends meet"? What people closer in spirit to the Secrets of Nature? What people so able to see possibilities, "a way out" where no way apparently exists, as these simple people of the woods, lakes, rivers, plains and mountains? From these Fundamentalists, the Pioneer had at once most to fear and most to learn. It was this antithesis which sharpened desire to take-up the land and hold it against the veritably embodied Spirit of Circumvention. And it was when the early pioneers began to appreciate the cleverness of the Indian and the Indian began to appreciate the qualities of life as introduced by the new people, that one began to learn of the other and to prosper by exchange of experiences and by exchange of the inventions for which each stood. The Indian and the pioneer have this in common. Both were always face to face with Necessity. Danger was clear-cut... everywhere. No getting away from it. And to some extent it is interesting to be able to decipher in most of the primitive inventions of the Indians, whether their habitat was the shores about the Great Lakes, the Prairies from the Lakes of the Woods to the foothills of the Rockies, or the Rockies themselves or the littoral of the Pacific, a certain Something, like an Atmosphere, a curious Fragrance, suggestive of Danger... a bizarre note... indicative of the presence of the sinister form or forms which originally called into existence that particular invention. I well recall the impressions experienced the first timel saw our Indian guide of the French River, drink from his paddle. We had gone up the Murdoch and portaged to Crooked Lake. (A lake that Only last year was opened up by the Canadian Pacific Bungalow Camp—above). No sooner had we got into the canoe and gone a few lengths than the guide ceased stroking and careened the paddle blade so that the clean, cool water dripped as from a clear fountain into his thirsty mouth and throat. No weight had changed, the canoe still ranged ahead from the last stroke, the guide did not change his posture, there was no sound, his eye still commanded the scene. The action was so swift and silent that without bidding my own eye ranged off to the wooded bank, searching for the imaginary foe whose mocassined feet and wary intuition may have traced the invasion by the summer camper of this hitherto undeveloped haunt of trout. Thus swiftly did this simple act recall the time when it was first practiced. That time in the history of Canada when the Red man's foes were so numerous, when the urge of hunting so keen that even when he took a drink of water he must never lose that vigilance which kept him always on guard. In itself a mere straw, it holds a psychological subtlety that in detail shows us to what necessity and to what finesse or inventiveness those who live right down to the elemental were driven by the combative elemental forces with which they warred for existence. We admire these things in ancient and distant peoples, but we are given to overlook them and set little value by them when they occur at our very doors as it were. Canada is particularly rich in "inventions" of this nature. They are not here things of the Past but of the living Present. I saw the Indian drink from the paddle only last summer. You may see him this. Adaptation or resourcefulness in so simple acts are among these primitives, progressive after a fashion. The next time our guide took a drink of the cool lake water, he broke the deep flower of a pitcher plant from a clump that grew by the bank and made a drinking-cup of it. Not limited to one cup you see. And in the transition from the oar we can feel there was a transition in poetic fancy. It was a drink of relaxation... a sip of nectar from the flower's heart. And had he been of the Far East we should have said "See the artistic development of this Jap" but being of the West and of the Wilds, it was wholly unlooked for and evoked more of surprise than anything else.
