All the Mining News of the Northern B. C. Coast THE HERALD ALICE ARM & ANYOX, BRITISH COLUMBIA \J Published at j Alice Arm j $2.50 Per Year VOL. 1, NO. 12 Alice Arm, B. G, Saturday, August 20, 1921 $2.50 a Year. . 5 cents each. U Important Discovery of High Grade Silver Ore on Toric Group Situated Half a Mile North East of the Dolly Varden Mine That there is high grade ore on other properties on the Kitsault River, besides the Dolly Varden Mine, has now been proved conclu; sively by Mr. J. Strombeek, who last week opened up the No. 2 ledge on the Toric Group and uncovered the richest silver ore yet found in or near the surface in this district. Samples of the ore brought in by Mr. Strombeek are exceptionally rich in native silver, and an assay of a very fine specimen gave a return of 9,600 ozs. of silver per ton. The ore resembles that found in the Glory Hole at the Dolly Varden Mine in 1919, from which 40 tons mined gave returns of 55,000 ozs. silver. This discovery proves beyond doubt that ore bodies similar to that found in the Dolly Varden Glory Hole will be discovered on -other properties in the district as soon as vigorous development work is undertaken on the properties that warrant the expenditure of the necessrry capital to carry out the work. The No. 2 ledge on the Toric has been traced on the surface for a distance of 300 feet, having an average width of 4 feet. Several open cuts made last year exposed the ore in which considerable native silver and sulphides were visible. At the point where the latest discovery was made, a short tunnel has been driven, cross-cutting the ledge and showing a width of 3 feet between the walls. The high grade lies in the foot-wall and has an average width of 22 inches, the balance of the ledge matter being of a lower grade. A general sampling of this 22 inches, from which all native silver was excluded, gave returns of 209 ozs.; 59.5 ozs.; and 40.5 ozs. silver per ton. This gives an average of 103-ozs. silver per ton. A sample taken across the entire 3 feet of the ledge gives 107.4 ozs. per ton. Mr. J. Strombeek has started a cross-cut tunnel which will encounter the ledge at a depth of/ 40 feet directly under the high grade exposure, and at an elevation of 150 feet above the railroad grade. Parallel to No. 2 ledge 100 feet to the north, is No. 1 ledge, This has been explored on the surface for a distance of 500 feet, showing a width of over 5 feet of ore. Two tunnels have been driven on this ledge, and the ore found gives an average of 24 ozs. silver per ton for a width of 4 feet. This is a very promising looking showing. No. 3 ledge, which lies at an elevation of 1200 higher than No. 1 ledge has also been exposed. Eight open cuts have been made, showing that the ore body is 8 feet in width and 800 feet in length. A crosscut tunnel has been driven 75 feet, but has not encountered the ledge as yet. Assays from this showing gave very encouraging returns and warrant considerable development work being carried out. The Toric property is ideally located, No. 1 and No. 2 ledges being practically on the railroad grade, and assuming that' this W test find proves up when depth is obtained there' is no doubt that the production from this property will equal or surpass the record of the Dolly Varden, which has shipped to date 1,593,952 ozs. of silver. John Strombeek, Gus Strombeek and Al. Miner are the owners of the Toric Group, which was located in 1914, and consists of four mineral claims. It adjoins the North Star property on the east, which adjoins the Dolly Varden. The high grade found on the Toric lies about 3000 feet north-east of the Dolly Varden Glory Hole, and .about 350 feet lower in elevation. John and Gus Strombeek are two of the old timers of the district having located here in 1908 and 1909. They deserve great credit for the work they have done on the Kitsault River. The importance of this strike can not be over estimated, as it proves that other important'discoveries of this type of ore will undoubtedly be made in the near future, and that as soon as capital can be secured for development work, the Alice Arm camp should rank as one of the leading silver producers of the , American continent. For" the purpose of pushing oh construction of the Pacific Great Eastern line north of Quesnel, into which town steel was laid a fortnight ago, a loan $1,000,000 has been negotiated by Hon. John Hart, minister of finance. Twenty year bonds to that amount, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent, have been sold to a Toronto syndicate, composed of A. E. Ames & Co. and Wood, Gundy & Co. Limited, at 93.59. The English notorboat Maple Leaf the challenger for the international cup to be raced at Detroit early in September, has attained the speed of 80 miles an hour in trials. This is a world record. Prince* Rupert Baseball z and Football Teams at Anyox The Sons of Canada teams from Prince Rupert, played two games of Baseball and one of Football, at Anyox, last Saturday and Sunday. Anyox won both baseball games, but the Prince Rupert boys took the honors for-football. The baseball game on Saturday resulted in a win for Anyox with the score 5 to 0. Anyox line-up was a strong team, Ferguson and Thomas being the battery for Anyox, and Lane and Corckle for Prince Rupert. The teams were well matched, but Anyox had the advantage in batting. Fred Brown being the star hitter, his hitting brought in all the runs for Anyox. The Anyox in-field were a little more snappy than Prince Rupert. Harry Down's base stealing got the best' of the Rupert pitcher. Rupert had some good batters, especially Corby and Mitchell, but Ferguson's pitching held them down pretty well. At the game on Sunday Prince Rupert did a little better, Draud son opened the pitching for Anyox; but' Pete seemed to have an off day so he relinquished the box, Ferguson' taldng his place. Prince Rupert • led until the seventh innings, with the score 3 to 1, when the Anyox wrecking crew got to work. Thomas led with a hit, then he was followed by Ferguson, Brown and Mattix. Thomas ,went out on Mattix hit, and Cody came to bat and brought two home, evening the score amidst great excitement. Mattix got home with the next ball, putting Anyox ahead by one run. Neither side could make any headway during the final innings, and the game elosqd Anyox 4, Prince Rupert 3, making two straight wins for Anyox. Between four and five hundred fans witnessed the games. Following is a line-up of the teams. Prince Rupert Anyox Lane P. Ferguson & Draudson Corckle C. Thomas Maloney 1st. B. Mealey Menzies, H. 2nd. B. Cody Anderson S. S. Brown Menzies 3rd. B.

A white Spitz dog was on the launch and the dog was so vicious that he had to knock it down before he could board the boat. Mr. Smith tied the body to the launch and left, it there, he dfid not have enough food to stay, and the sea was too rough for him to take the body into his rowboat. He came on to Anyox and reported finding the body to Constable Dryden. Wireless messages were sent out and the information received that the deceased was a Doctor on a hunting trip, from Hyder, Alaska. A coroner's jury at Hyder suspects foul play. ANYOX FOOTBALL The. football game between Anyox. and Prince Rupert on Sun day night, was about the best exhibition we have had in that line during the season. Prince Rupert had the Advantage over Anyox, owing to the fact that they were an aggregation who have played together all the season, and Anyox never had the same eleven on the field before. Play in mid-field was about even, but the Prince Rupert forwards were superior to Anyox in shooting, the Anyox forwards could not finish. The Anyox defence played a grand game, the most outstanding players being Ferre, O'Donnell and Brown. The Prince Rupert defense was impregnable, as is shown by the score. Rupert 2, Anyox 0. Following is a line-up of the. teams: Prince Rupert: Thomson, V. Menzies, H. Menzies, Anderson, Stewart, Mitchell, Robertson, Swan Moffatt, Clarke, and Lane. / Anyox: Hillsley.

Alice Arm & Camp Eight Baseball The long looked for aiid much talked of game of baseball, between Camp Eight and the town, was staged on Friday, August 10th. Friday, evidently was Camp Eight's Jonah Day, for they suffered a decisive defeat by a score of 5 to 9. Weather conditions were most unfavorable towards the playing of real ball, for the diamond was very slippery and the moisture continued to descend during the session. Many wonderful plays were made, chief of which was that presented to the fans by Richard Manning at second. Dick simply got along swimmingly, but was under the delusion that he was competing in a diving contest, instead of playing bull. In performing the "swallow dive" we would put our money on Dick every time. Lee Intermelia on third starred for the Camp team. He objected strongly to there being more than one ball in play at one time. No doubt it was confusing for Lee. Terry North seemed to enjoy the water, and would no doubt play a good game of "Water Polo." He cannot understand why they built the sea so near the shore. Lloyd Oonant umpired a good game, and both teams were completely satis- fled with his decisions. Never listen to the tans Lloyd, they think it is a part of the game to kick, and don't mean half what they say. Good fellowship reigned supreme, and we believe under more favorable weather conditions Gamp Eight would spring a surprise party on the town boys. Their pitcher did not have a fair chance, and was not permitted to put much buzz on the ball on account of its slippery condition at all stages of the game. Dolly Varden Mining Company Suit Filed The Dolly Varden mining property has again emerged into the limelight, in the shape of a suit filed against it on August 15th, in the supreme court at Vancouver, for $182,322, by George Wingfield, of Reno, Nevada. It appears that under the legislation passdd at Victoria in 1920, by which the title to the property was finally vested in the present holders, one of the liabilities assumed by such holders was the obligation to pay this mortgage; which was originally for $150,000, but which has grown to the amount now claimed by the accretion of interest. .- • The mortgage fell due on July 31st. of this year, and action has now been entered by the plaintiffs solicitors, Bourne McDonald and Desbrisay. The defendants named are the Taylor Mining Co., Ltd., the Taylor Engineering Co., Ltd., and Chas. M. Ralston, Cambie and Smithe Street. Plaintiffs ask for an accounting, for foreclosure, for possession, and for the appointment of a receiver.

The policy of this newspaper has been from its first publication, to study the interests of the citizens of this town, and it will always continue to do so, and by citizens we mean the people who are living in the district, especially those who have built their homes and invested their money here, whether in mineral claims, or as business men. They are the one's who have to bear the brunt of dull times when the mines close down, and they are the people who stick and keep the town alive until better times come. We do not expect to please everyone, because that is impossible. The newspaper has never yet been published that did do it. The duty of the country newspaper is to study the interests of its permanent citizens, and that is what we intend to do. Alice Arm Citizen's League. The town of Stewart at the head of the Portland Canal, is going to have a liquor store; but that is not all, they are going to have a railroad too, built in there by the C. P. R., at least, its rumored so, and there is generally some fire where there is lots of smoke. After the people of Stewart get a railroad built into Peace River country, they will probably go after a pipe line to pipe the oil out of the interior, and perhaps get it too. Why is it? Because they have a live Citizen's Association; that's why. Think it over folks, there are lots of things we need here too, for a start we need a new School, a Court-house, a Bridge over the Kitsault River, the Indian Reserve thrown open for purchase, a bigger Wing Dam above the town, a water and fire fighting system, the Dolly Varden mine in operation, the— but why continue. The reporter tells what he sees, and he sees largely those things he wants to see. Whether it is a labor paper, a financial paper, a political paper, or even a family newspaper, you are bound to find to some extent the personality of the writer shown in the news columns. However much an editor may prune down and eliminate, it is there. In fact, a newspaper without some personal element is not very readable.—Prince Rupert Daily News. Pat Daly Wins the First Round Demurrer to a $1,960,000 suit brought by Pat Daly, who seeks to recover a one-fifth interest in the Premier mine, was overruled in the Superior court at Spokane, July 7, and the case will probably come to trial early in the fall. The demurrer was presented by R. K. Neill and associates, defendants in the case. Never make a criticism without- giving some kind of a suggestion. FOR SALE At Alice Arm.

Van Alstyne, sometimes called the unluckiest man in the Yukon, left his summer camp on Mission Creek a few weeks ago on a prospecting trip to Eagle, 100 miles north of Dawson. He had been searching for gold in this region for a quarter of a century. He first attracted attention when he staked the famous claim No. 16, Eldorado, in the Klondike camp. Believing it,poor, he exchanged it for another, owned by Thomas Lippy, who later mined $2,000,000 from the property and his successor took further fortunes from it. While Lippy went to Seattle a multi-millionaire, van Alstyne obtained very little out of Lippy's old claim. FOR SALE At Alice Arm, two tent shacks, with board floor and sides, 10ft. by 12ft.

Usually one column of a newspaper is devoted to opinions, and those opinions are always open to criticism. The news columns are also often not free from personal bias. It cannot be otherwise. Stewart to Groundhog Railway There are persistent rumors in Stewart that the C. P. R. is to build a line into the Groundhog coal fields next year, and that shipments of the coal will be made through this port. Mysterious visits of people supposed to be closely in touch with the C. P. R. interests are made here from time to time, and there are other indications that outsiders are taking a more than ordinary interest in this little camp.

AND ANYOX HERALD, Amce Abm, Saturday, August 20th., 1921 i# William Booth, Prince Rupert Old Timer is Killed The inany friends of Mr. William [ Booth, will be sorry to hear of his [death in Prince Rupert, on August ' 11th. He was killed while trying to stop a runaway team and wagon in which there were several children. The wheels of the heavy wagon passed over his chest, and he died at the hospital shortly after the accident. In 1911 he joined .the city waterworks department, with whifh he has been since, with the exception of a long period he spent with the Canadian Expeditionary Forces overseas. He enlisted with the 62nd. battalion in June 1915 and was transferred to the 48th. overseas. He was wounded with shrapnel on the Somme, in Juno 1916, but remained in the service until the end of the war. He had a splendid record and was made a sorgoant before he was discharged. He had just finished building a new house, and was to have been shortly married. Jap Gets 2 Years. The Jap from the Naas River, who stabbed a fellow countryman recently, was sentenced to 2 years by Judge Young in Prince Rupert, last week. His Honor impressed upon the accused .that in this country the wielding of a deadly weapon, like a knife, could not be tolerated. Copper Mountain Mine may Resume Operations There is a good prospect of the Copper Mountain mine being reopened, and the concentrating mill at Allenby again placed in commission. The Canadian Copper Company is under heavy obligations to the Canadian Pacific Railway, which built a spur to the mine at a cost of $2,000,000; to "the West Kootenay Power Company, which built a transmission line to the mine and mill; and to the Trail smelter with which a cost plus- contract for smelting was arranged. Those investments cannot be allowed to remain unproductive, and the mine must be operated at the .first opportunity. It is stated that if the Canadian Copper Company fails to do so, the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company may undertake operation in order to provide tonnage for the railway and ore for the smelter. Trial of Engineer Mine is set for September. Trial is now set for September of this year, of the famous Engineer mine at Atlin. It has been held up by litigation for a long time, and the ownership will no doubt be finally settled this fall. The salmon canneries on the Naas and Skeena Rivers have experienced .the worst season they have ever had. ♦+♦+■♦♦ ♦ »♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ »4 »H > H H HHH4HHHHtHWHW| Alice Arm Freighting Co.

The boxing bouts were all interesting, chief amongst which was the bout between Jimmy Ferguson of Anyox and George Corckle of Prince Rupert, and which was four rounds of good clean boxing, and resulted in a draw. Both men were'in good shape and put up a good exhibition of boxing. Corckle was the heavier of the two and was undoubtedly holding himself back on that account. He is too much of a gentlemen to take advantage of an opponent in a friendly bout.
