LaRose High Grade Ore Body Increasing In Width The encountering of high grade ore at the LaRose, the report of which we published last week, continues to be the chief source of interest in mining circles of the Alice Arm district. Reports from the mine yesterday were to the effect that the raise is still being continued, and that there is now 2 feet of solid high grade ore on the hanging wall, while the balance of the face of the raise is also composed of a good grade of ore. During the week a shot was put in on the foot wall side of the raise and from which unexpected results were obtained. The ore exposed being found to be impregnated with native silver. This interesting discovery- will be explored at a later date, after the raise has been extended to the surface, which will be some time during April. " From present indications, there is no question but that the LaRose contains a considerable body of high grade ore, and when it is taken into consideration that the property is only commencing to be developed, it is reasonable to expect that a much larger tonnage will be proven up as development work is oarried on. This comparatively easy locating of ore, on au undeveloped property again brings out with remarkable vividness the rich potential mineral wealth of the Alice Arm district,. a fact that can not be overlooked by the big men of the continent, and this year will without doubt see a big revival of the mining industry in the Alice Arm district.

Leasers at Esperanza Mine Shipping High Grade Ore The Esperanza mine which is one of the most regular shipping mines of the north coast, is again producing high grade silver ore, and the prospects at the mine for further shipments in the immediate future are exceedingly bright. On Monday last seven tons of high grade silver ore was shipped • on the Cardena to Anyox Smelter. This ore was shipped by Messrs. N. Fraser. C. Lee and T. Calif, who have a lease ou part of the workings. They are now engaged in development work, which is necessary before more ore can be extracted. They are driving a raise on the No, 1 tunnel, which commences on the Esperanza trail. They are also driving a new tunnel on the work-, ings where they extracted the ore. They have driven 22 feet and expect to encounter the ore when au additional 8 feet has been driven. This new tunnel was made necessary by a large amount of water running in the old tunnel and which could not be drained off. Messrs. V. Stella, T. Mack and associates, who have a lease on the old workings at the mine, are.ship- pingll tons of high grade ore ancT^ 2 tons of low grade to Anyox smeltei' on Monday next.

E. MOSS, "Editor and Publisher. Porter-Idaho Co. Elects Local Men for Officers Portland Canal News The outstanding feature of tlie Porter Idaho Mining Company's lirst annual general stockholders meeting, held on the afternoon of Jan. 20 in the lobby of the Fraser Hotel, Hyder B. C, is the fact that an entirely local board of directors Was elected for the ensuing year, the only member of the old board re-elected being Clay Porter, president and managing director. The new board consists of Clay Porter, J. P. Hawkinson, Wm. Bunting, Oren F. Hill, Joe Moriir, (mine foreman) Walter C. Blanton and W. R. Tooth. About forty looal shareholders were presbiit, and the keen interest taken in affairs of the company and developments at tlie mine was shown in numerous discussions as to past and future policy. The managing director was sustained in his method of working the mine by an overwhelming majority, and his annual report adopted with a few minor amendments which he accepted without protest. The report, dated January 10, shows that since April 15, 1050 feet of work h-as been done, consisting of 385 feet of crosscut, (50 feet of winze, 60 feet of raise and the balance drifting. Big Quantity of Lead and Zinc Produced at Trail Smelter Ten per cent of the world's lead output is produced at the Trail, B. G, smelter operated by the Consol idated Mining and Smelting company. This plant, which has been shattering production records with spectacular regularity, has just finished it's banner year. Not only did it furnish ten per cent of the world's lead • supply, but also seven per cent of the world's zinc. From it's lead refinery, the last stage of its lead process, 335 tons of metal is being produced daily on an average, while the zinc refinery, which puts out an electrolytic product from the leached roasts of the zinc plant, produces 160 tpns of zinc. Nearly all the ore originates at the immense Kimberly mine in the'Bast Kootney, where a city of 0,000 population has sprung up in the wake of the rapidly expanding industry. Mackinaw Coats Out of Style This Winter In Yukon Keno, Yukon Territory, January 17.—Never in the history of the North lias there been such a winter and the old timers who made the long mush outside to get a breath of sunshine might just as well have stayed in and saved their money. Florida and Southern California have nothing on the Yukon this winter and mackinaw coats are a drug on tlie market. With the exception of one short spell when the thermometer wont clown to twenty below, it has been twenty- five to thirty above ryid tho lakes in this vicinity have not even frozen up, Trapping is almost at a standstill, and most of tlie fur bearing animals will begin to shed their winter coats soon, unless we get a cold snap. The open winter has been wonderful for prospecting and all kinds of outside work and the Camp is benefitting greatly by it. There has been more work clone since the close of navigation than before in the history of Keno and the work done and the showings that have been demonstrated show this district to be the greatest silver and lead section in the North.

ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Saturday, February 6, 1926 Fire Threatened to Wipe Out Town of Stewart Fire threatened to wipe out the town of Stewart on Monday. As it was, damage to the extent of $5,000 was done there and it was only the strenuous efforts of the citizens that prevented the blaze from spreading and possibly consuming the whole town. The fire apparatus failed at the critical time and the townspeople were forced to form a bucket brigade to throw water on buildings to prevent them igniting from the intense heat. The building that was destroyed was that known as the Northern Rooms, occupied by Mrs. Kelly and with the Good Eats restaurant below. The place was being overhauled and new people were about to take over the restaurant. In connection with the work a tub of tar was being heated on the range and this caught fire and very soon the whole place was a mass of roaring flames. It was at once realized that the building could not be saved so efforts were centred on preventing the spread of the fire to the liquor vendor's store close by and to the buildings across the street. Had either of these caught, it is said that the whole town would have been wiped out of existence. The fire took place shortly after noon on Monday. Mrs. Kelly suffered a loss amounting to about $2,000 and the building and other furnishings would be worth at least another $3,000.
