Big Christmas Dance by Anyox Community League The annual Christmas dance held under the auspices of the Anyox Community League, is always a sign of Christinas being near at hand. It is the commencement of the festivities and social events of the smelter town and is one of the outstanding dances of the year. This annual dance was held on Monday evening at tho Recreation Hall, and was marked by an unusually large attendance. The hall was beautifully decorated witli Christinas decorations, these having been used with a lavish hand, and with a striking effect. A special ceiling design was a feature of the decorations, and -'--uivui color designs adorned the walls, A large Christmas tree beautifully decorated the stage, which added a real Christmas finish to the decorations. A feature of the evening was the cutting of a huge 3-tier Christmas cake by Mrs. Chas. Bocking. After the cutting had been carried out Mrs. Bocking was presented with the knife by the president of the League, Mr. Chas. McLachlan. The music was supplied by the Melodians of the Mine Club, and the general opinion of. everyone was that the boys from up on the hill are musicians of rare skill, and their rendering of music was exceptionally good. A very appetising supper was served at midnight, and dancing continued until 2 a.m., when the happy throng wended their way home, thoroughly convinced that as hosts the Community League are second to none. The officers of the League are deserving of great praise for the brilliant suocess of their 1925 i Christmas dance, and special credit | is due to secretary P. M. Kelley, on whose shoulders fell the 'work ^of organizing and carrying it f through to a successful finish. He (was ably assisted by the officers of .the League who also spared no pains to give the Christmas festivities a good send-off. Following is a list of those . who Jgave of their services.

The children's entertainment was of a very high standard and the balance of the evening was crammed full of mirth until the hour of midnight. Shortly after 7 p.m. the hall was filled to capacity, and the evening's jollification was commenced With the entertainment given by the children. The programme consisted of dances, recitations, songs, etc. Every child was included, from the tiny tots up, and the wonderful talent shown by different children, won them rounds of applause, and encores were frequent. The high standard shown reflects great oredit on the members of the entertainment committee, who worked so hard in training the children, and Mrs. J. Laidlaw deserves special mention in this respect. The hall was elaborately decorated, with festoons of evergreens, and colored paper, and at the back of the stage were the words, "A Merry Christmas." worked in colored paper, against a background of evergreens. At the left of the stage stood a gigantic Christmas tree, beautifully decorated, while piles of presents reposed in the vicinity. Following is the programme: 1. Overture Selected Orchestra 2.

On Thursday, the ladies of the Auxiliary held a delightful entertainment for the inmates of the Hospital. A recitation triologue was given by Misses Barclay and Eve, and Dr. D. R., Learoyd then made the announcement that he had just received word from Santa Claus that he would arrive in a few minutes. The Doctor's information was correct, for almost immediatly old Santa Claus, in the person of Dr. H. S. Trefrey walked in. For a while he was a busy man handing out his presents to all the patients, and said that he would like to stay longer, but he had to finish Jl>willle P'0'"'™ were thrown his night's work in Nova Scotia at onthe 80ree»> wllich were nmch Children Entertained by Granby Company and Community League Following the big dance on Monday evening, the Anyox Community League and the Granby Co. jointly entertained the children of Anyox and their mothers to a Christmas entertainment on Tuesday afternoon at the Recreation Hall. Two hundred and thirty children were present with their mothers, and the ohildren enjoyed themselves to the limit. Games were played, and each child received a present. Ice cream and cakes of all kinds from the Smelter Bakehouse were in great demand, and every child received its fill. There was lots to eat and drink and lotR to spare, wliich is as it should be on such an occasion. HH As the closing chorus was being lustily sung, good old Santa Claus burst into the room, aud amidst screams of delight from the younsters, commenced to hand out his presents. Each child was presented with a handsome gift. The older children receiving useful presents and the younger ones, dolls and toys, and in addition a bag of candy, nuts and oranges was given to eaoh child. When Santa had emptied all his sacks and left for other parts to distribute his Christmas cheer, an onslaught was made on the refreshments. The refreshment committee now took up the burden, and the serving of the large number present was carried out expeditiously. The children were served first, and glasses of milk, sandwiches, and piles of oake needed no magic wand in order to make them disappear. After the children had been made comfortable inside, the adults followed suit At the conclusion of refreshments, the floor was cleared for dancing, and everyone present rounded off the evening's enjoyment by tripping the light fantastic until the hour of midnight. The music was kindly supplied by the, Alice Arm orchestra, and was of the usual high standard. The ladies of Alice Arm were solely responsible for the splendid success of the evening's entertainment. Every member of each committee did their utmost to ensure a good time for the children, and that their object was attained was evidenced by the happy faces of the children throughout the evening. The following ladies served on the various committees: Entertainment: Mrs. J.Graham, Mrs. J. Laidlaw, Mrs. O'Connor, Mr. Stevens, Mr. R. G. Gorbon. Refreshment; Mrs. G. W. Bruggy Mrs. G. Anderson. Finance: Mrs. Al. Falconer. Mrs. J. Trinder. Mrs E. Moss. Decoration: Mrs. H. F. Kergin, Mrs. A. Smith. Generous assistance was given the ladies, and they wish to thank all those who so willingly gave of their services in order that the children should be given a real good time. 11 p.m. After the benevolent Santa had made his exit, a short musical entertainment was carried out: Piano solo: Miss B.

Another Lease Taken on Esperanza In addition to the lease let on the Esperanza a short time ago another one has been let on an ore showing on another part of the property. This lease has been let to Messrs. Norman Fraser, Charlie Lee and Tony Calfer, and they will work on an ore showing a littlp above and about 300 feet south of the main workings. The lease expires at the end of May. The ore vein on which this lease has been' obtained was worked with satisfactory results some years ago, and considerable high grade ore was taken out. Mining has already commenced. enjoyed and added greatly to the entertainment. On leaving, each child was presented with a big net bag of candies, nuts, etc., which were made up by Chas. McLachlan and A. B. Morkill, President and Vice-president of the Community League. In the evening about seventy children of the age of 12 years and over, were entertained seperately at the Recreation Hall, and they also were given a real good time. Following the entertainment, a dance was held at which the youthful members thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Those assisting at these two entertainments were Mrs. O. K. Dwyer, aud Messrs. Thomson, Hutchison, and Ashton. Granby Co. Taking Over Golkeish Mine Mr. H. W. Heidman has reported that steps are under way for the transfer of the Golkeish Mine to the Granby Co., who intend to stope down for 125 feet the main lead and by doing this it is estimated that this will give an additional 50,000 tons of quartz, which is used at the smelter for flux. This quartz aiso contains values. Tunnel Being Driven on Wolf Property The work of taking out ore from the surface on the Wolf property has been concluded, and Jack Fiva has commenced the driving of a tunnel, which will encounter the ore underground. It is anticipated that the ore vein will be encountered at a distance of 100 feet from the portal and which will give a vertical depth on the ore of over 35 feet. Owing to the dip of the ore, however, the stoping distance available will be at least 70 feet. A new blacksmith shop and ore shed has been constructed near the mouth of the tunnel, and everything is in readiness for the winter's work. The bond ou the property is now held between Miss Cora Tollefsen, and Messrs. Jack Fiva and Peter Petersen. Pete Johnson, who held a third interest, recently sojd out to P. Petersen.

MOSS. Editor and Publisher. Before the next issue of the Herald is off the press, we shall have entered upon another year. Looking back over the past year we must admit that good fortune has been the lot of the people of Anyox and Alice Arm. The district has suffered no serious reverses and we can enter upon another year full of hope and optimism. During 1924 the big mine and reduction plants of the Granby Co. at Anyox have operated uninterruptedly, employing over 1000 men, and was no small factor in helping to attain a banner year for the mineral industry of the province. The past few years have been extremely trying for the Granby Co., but it is hoped that the past year will show a profit for the company instead of a loss. It such is the case, 1924 will be an outstanding year for the district, as it will again place the Granby Co. on the dividend paying list, and this will undoubtedly mean an expansion of operations in the north. Fortune has also smiled upon the Alice Arm district, and while the past year did not witness a big mining boom, steady progress has been made All signs at present, point to still more progress being made in the mining industry during the coming year, and unless we are mistaken bigger progress will be made than the readers of the Herald anticipate. More mining properties are ready to commence operations next spring, than ever before, and 1925 will outshine 1924 as much as the latter did 1923. If we make good progress each year, the momentum will increase, and like a snowball rolling down hill will increase in size. Alice Arm is on the high road to prosperity and its citizens can enter the coming year undismayed and unafraid. We believe a British Columbian mining camp is the best place in the world in which to live, and we beleive that Alice Arm and Anyox are the best mining camps in British Columbia—or we wouldn't be here. With good prices ruling for all metals, and the prospect of even better prices in the future, with the mountains in our immediate vicinity full of minerals waiting to be mined, why shouldn't we be glad to live here. But while we may all be glad to live here we must not sleep; we must boost the magnificent resources of the district all the time, and with this parting advice, we wish our readers—whether their subscription is paid up-to-date or not.

Deoember 26, 1925 Toric Operations Description of Mi in The issue oi' November 28th., of the Ciiiiarliah Mining and Financial Review published! in London, England, contains a detailed description of the Toric mine, which is well written and illustrated, showing a picture of the mine buildings and Goat creek. The latter being shown as a" future source of power for a hydroelectric plant. The article, which is lengthy, commences witli a general description of the property, and terminates by outlining the future plans of the Consolidated Homestake Mining and Development Co., who liave the property under bond. Following are extracts, taken from the article: "In liis report at the end of August, Mr. Gerhardi states that the "main enrichment is in primary silver ores. Tlie Toric is associated with a breccia of barite, quartz, and jasper, and occasional calcite merging into quart'/, at depth. Mineralization is deposited throughout these fissures homogeneously, with increased enrichment along fault planes, and small fractures due to redeposition from surface erosion, which throughout this district, has been profound. The native silver characteristic of this redeposition in the proven mineralized condition within this vein came with the original batholithic intrusion, and is therefore of primary origin. Step faulting, generally reversed, is pronounced on the west side of the Kitsault River or Dolly Varden occurrence, and has mainly a northerly and southerly trend. The east or Toric, condition shows no disposition to excessive faulting, and is characteristically a more uniform deposit than the Dolly Varden." "He estimates that in the Toric claim there are, as at present ascertained, about 178,500 tons of ore above the No.'l crosscut tunnel; that the vein below the lowest workings to a depth of 100 feet will produce a minimum of 119,000 tons; and the vein above the lowest workings but beyond developed faces for a distance of 100 feet will produce, a minimum of 178,000 tons of ore, the ore throughout being of an average value of $12 per ton. This would make a total for this claim of 476,000 tons of ore of a gross value of $5,712,000. It is noteworthy, how ever, that Messrs. Milken burg and Oo., of Seattle, from three tests obtained: Gold, ,68 oz; silver, 17.80 oz; lead, .34 per cent., making the total value of $26.18 per ton, exclusive of the lead values. "It has been decided that the mill to be erected shall be of 100 tons daily capacity, and money for this purpose has, we understand, been provided' The rock excavation for the mill site lias already been completed. Tests having shown that by straight amalgamation 91 per cent, extraction of tlie gross value can be obtained, this process is to be adopted. In his report Mr. Gerhardi, fin the basis of a 50 ton mill, estimated results as follows1 Capacity, 1,350 tons per month; assay value, $12 per ton; total, $16,200 per month; cost of mining, including development, $2.30 per ton; ore treatment, $1.70; lost in treatment, 10 per cent, per ton, $1.20; total, $5.20 per ton. Profit, $6.80 per ton, or $9,180 per month, 'fills would represent a gross return of well over 20 per cent, per annum on the authorised capital of the company. The increase in the capacity of the mill should not only double the output, but considerably increase the profit per ton of ore milled. Of course, these estimates can only be tested by the actual operation of the mill."
