Church Parade
'Large Number of Members
Attend Impressive Service
The B. P. 0. Elks of Anyox,
!• held a Church Parade, last Sunday
;evening, Maroh 26 and between
jsixty and seventy of the members
i were present. They assembled at
;the Elk's building at 7.15 p.m. and
paraded to Christ Church, headed
by Worthy. Exalted Ruler; H. B.
i Chapman, who was supported by
Ijthe following officers: Esteemed
| leading knight, W. X. McDonald.
Esteemed   loyal   knight,    Sid
! Armstrong.
Esquires, STBarr and A. J. LaFortune.
Secretary, Chas. Grey.
Tyler, J. J. Miller.
Trustees, J. Smith, M. Cranley
I and A. Morton.
The Servicexwas conducted by
I Chaplain Rev. J. B. Gibson, who
preached an excellent sermon on
J "Personal Influence." Scripture
Lessons were read by Worthy
Exalted Ruler H. B. Chapman and
Esteemed Leading Knight W, X.
McDonald. Solos were sung by
Mrs. J. Conway, "One Sweetly
Solemn Thought," and Mrs. S.
Herrin, "Abide With Me." Both
ladies sang very nicely.
The offertory was taken up by
Esteemed Loyal Knight, Sid Arm-
[ strong and Esquire, Al. LaFortune.
Chaplain Rev. J. B. Gibson, took
I as his text, Proverbs, Chap. 27,
j verses 17 and 19: "Iron sharpeneth
J iron: so a man sharpeneth the
I "countenance of his friend." "As in
water face answereth face, so the
I heart of man to man."
We are bound together in numberless ways and it is out of this
' close relationship that influence
comes. Our very existence exercises an influence far beyond our
knowledge and calculation.
Influence is of two kinds, direct
and indirect, or conscious and
unconscious. In Prov. 27, verses
17 and 19, both kinds are illustrated, "Iron Sharpeneth Iron, so a
man sharpeneth the countenance
of his friend." "As in water, face
answereth to face: so the heart of
man to man." Direct influence is
that which we deliberately put
forth; indirect influence is that
which radiates from us whether we
will it or not.
- In regard to direct influence eaoh
one must choose his own line of
action, there are, however, certain
lines that may be indioated and
whioh lie open to all.
(a)^ Keeping others in the right
path.
(b)   Speaking out against evil.
(o) Taking part in Christain
and benevolent work.
Indirect influence is the "invisible belt of megnetism" a man bears
Daring Robbery at
Anyox
Forty-three Bottles of Liquor
Stolen from Govt. Store
A daring robbery was committed
at Anyox on the night of March 28
when the government liquor store
was broken into and 43 bottles of
liquoi-j valued at $225.25 was
stolen. The thieves gained entrance to the store by cutting out
the putty from a window pane and
removing the glass. One light
is always left burning in the store
and this had been turned out. No
money was taken the safe being
untouched. The thieves were evidently after liquor and lifted 43
battles from the shelves.
The first idea that a robbery had
been committed was when Paddy
Crone, wharf foreman, on his way
to work at 8 a.m., noticed that a
window had been removed. He
immediately phoned Fred Brown,
the vendor, who notified Constable
Dryden. ^They proceeded to the
store and found the window glass
on the floor by the window, no
IjOTss were" broken; but dn; cheeking up the stook list the number
missing was ascertained. No cases
were taken, only loose bottles. It
is supposed that the thieves operated in the dark for the reason
that some brandy at $4 a bottle
was taken while the thief could
have reached brandy at $8.50 a
bottle without moving.
The police are busy working on
the case, but so far the liquor has
not yet ljeen found.
It takes lots of little drops of
water to make a flood, and it takes
lots of little boosts to make a
town.
with him wherever he goes. It
invests him, and others are quiok
to detect its presence.
Some of the simplest phases are:
The influence of a look. The influence of a smile. The influence
of sympathy. The life of example,
the simple doing of what is right
though we may know nothing
about it. v
The whole subject teaches us:
1. Our responsibility. If we
are ready to ask "Am I my brother's keeper,"? the answer is you
cannotiielp being so. It is as easy
to evade the law of gravitation as
the law of responsibility.
2. The power all have to do
good.
3. The seoret of good influence
is to be influenced for good ourselves. Our lamp must first be lit
if it is to shine, and we ourselves must be personally influenced
by coming to the great source of
spiritual power.
Logging Operations
At Alice Arm
Mr. Chris. Dickson, representing
the Big Bay Lumber Co., whose
mills are ajt' Georgetown, arrived
in town on Monday, in order to
grade the boom of logs of the Alice
Arm Freighting Co., who are
operating a logging camp at Silver j
City, across the bay. Mr. Dickson
was agreeably surprised at the
quantity of No. 1 logs in the water.
There is nearly 400,000 feet of
lumber in the water and the boom
which will contain approximately
500,000 feet will be ready for shipment this month. Twenty per
cent, of the logs are spruce and the
balance hemlock. Mr. Dickson
while here, also made an examination of the standing timber in the
neighbourhood.
The Alice Arm Freighting Co.
are contemplating to log throughout the summer and are making
arrangements accordingly. A
heavy team of horses for hauling
logs was purchased last week,
they are young horses and weigh
1700 lbs. each. "
i O. M. Watson''is in'charge 6f
the logging camp, with Paddy
Williamson boss teamster, while
Bob Lyons occupies the position of
chief ohef.
The Alice Arm Freighting Co.
besides operating pack trains,
general freighting and logging
camps, are also general contractors
in construction work of all kinds.

An Appeal for Famine
Stricken Russia
Anyox, B. C.
k       March 30th, 1922
The Editor, *
The Herald,
Alice Arm, B. C.
Dear Sir:
At a meeting of those interested in the Russian Famine Relief
Fund, held in the Recreation Hall,
on Tuesday afternoon, it was
deoided to hold a Tag Day on
Tuesday, April 11th.
The committee in charge are
anxious to make this a gigantic
success and with that aim in view
solicits the assistance of your valuable paper, to bring before the
public of this district the urgent
need of the people in the famine
stricken district of Russia.
All money collected on that day
will be forwarded to the "Canadian
Committee Save the Children
Fund." , That committee is made
up of the following gentlemen:
Honorary President, Hon. W. L.
McKenzie King; President, Col.
Herbert J. Mackie; Honorary
Viee-Presidents, Rt; Hon. AMhiir
Meighen; Hon. T. A. Crear; Hon.
Rodolphe Lemieux; Hon. Secretary,1 Sir Louis Davis; Hon. Treasurer, Hon. W. S. Fielding;
Treasurer, Sir George Burn.
These names will remove any
doubt as to the desirability of
sending relief to Russia. The
heart-rending cry that goes up
from the millions of starving
Russian children should produce a
ready response. In the Volga
provinces of Russia there are over
thirty millions of people who are
victims of a terrible famine.
Millions of these must die, the task
of saving them all being too great.
The "Save the Children Fund" is
concentrating its efforts on saving
the children, being urged by
mothers who dispairing of relief
for themselves implore that the
wants of their offsprings be relieved.
One mother writes:
"We Russian mothers who are destined to die this winter from starvation and disease, implore the people of
the whole world to take our children
[rom us, that those who are innocent
may not share our horrible fate. We
implore the whole world to do this
because, even at the cost of a voluntary and eternal seperation, we long
to repair the wrong we have committed
in giving them a life that is worse
than death. All of you who have
children, or who have lost children,
all of you who have children and fear
to lose them, in remembrance of the
children who are dead, and in the
name of those who are still living, we
beseech you! Do not think of us: we
cannot be helped! We have lost all
hope, but we shall be happy with the
only happiness that a mother knows
in the knowledge that her child is
safe."
Surely, as we sit down to at
least three good meals daily and
know   not want, will not turn a
deaf ear to such an appeal.
$1 will feed one child for one
month.
$10 will feed forty children for
one week.
$500 will establish a kitchen to
feed 100 children until -next
harvest.
Thanking you,
1 remain, Yours truly,
J. Herdman

History of the Premier
Mine at Stewart
The following article was published in the Northwest Mining
Truth, of Spokane, on March IV,
and is a continuation from our
last week's issue.
"The history of the property is
among the most interesting romances that ever adorned the records
of the west and throws particular
credit upon a Spokane man, formerly identified with remarkable
success with some of the greatest
mines developed in this immediate
section. After combing the western
country from Mexico to Alaska, R.
K. Neill, for many years indentified
with the Finch-Campbell interests
of Spokane, arrived in 1916 at the
Premier mine, then known as the
Bush mine and which had been
abandoned the same year by
Salmon-Bear River Gold Mining
Co., promoted by 'Col. W. B.
Thompson, operating under the
management of H. R. Plate, mining
engineer. It is said that about
$80,000 was lost in development.
The luck of mining is no better
exemplified than in the subsequent
history of this most remarkable
property. The deal for a bond was
closed1 by Mr. Neill on March 7,
1917, with the owner, Bush, at
Chula Vista, Cal., and on April 7
work was commenced. The first
development was done under the
direction as foreman, of Dan Lin-
denberg, who snowshoed his horses
and packed in enough supplies to
run live men until July. After
that month the trails were opened
and pack horses put into commission.
In tunnel No. 1, about 80 feet
from the surface, a crosscut was
started 80 feet in from the portal
to the right. After four feet had
been driven the heading broke into
a great body of ore, running $65
per ton, gold and silver.
The next work was at a point
184 feet from portal in an old
crosscut driven 16 feet by the old
management. The first round of
holes opened up the ore-body,
carrying around $60 per ton
aoross 8 or 9 feet. Another crosscut was then run at the face of the
tunnel, then in 250 feet and about
175 feet vertically from the surface.
Here a three-foot crosscut again
tapped the ore, the first six feet
averaging $300 per ton and the
whole mass, 65 feet wide, running
an average of $55 por ton.
Shipments were commenced in
the winter of 1917-18, the trail
having been made serviceable during the summer.   Ore to the value
of $75,000 was hauled out on
double-end bobsleds and rawhides
and shipped to Tacoma, under an
$18 freight and treatment charge.
In the summer of 1918 the trail
was made wide enough for double
bobsleds and hauling was carried
on during the winter of 1918"19
with six 4-horse teams. Over
$200,000 worth of ore was shipped
and the property then became the
talk of the mining world.
In the summer of 1920 a standard wagon road was completed,'
reaching the mine in October.
Meanwhile all improvements had
been paid for out of ore receipts,
although the four original partners
—Neill, Wilson, Trites and Wood-
had contributed $50,000 apiece to
initial expense and had borrowed
the sum of $60,000.
In September, 1919, two sets of
mining engineers arrived for New
York parties—one headed by H. A.
Guess, mining director of the company, representing the American
Smelting & Refining Co. and the
other representing Sam I. Silverman, formerly of Spokane, identified with the Minor Keith-Unter-
meyer interests. It might be
mentioned that Sam Silverman
was one day ahead of the Guggenheim party, a fact which will be
appreciated by his many old
Spokane friends.
Both parties sought options upon
the property, at least for sufficient
time to enable them to report to
their principals, but all such
requests were politely declinod and
no purchase price could be obtained.
Both parties then left, with the
result that Neill, Trites and Wood
were called to New York and
arrived there in October, 1919.
Upon arrival it was found that
both interests represented in the
recent examinations were wild to
obtain the property and eventually
a two-party deal was arranged,
with ownership as mentioned
above. Originally the company
set aside some treasury shares, but
they were later distributed as a
bonus among the present owners.
The property was then placed
under the management of the
Guggenheim interests, with Dale
Pitt in charge and its subsequent
history is well known to the mining
world. The mine when taken over
by the present management was
developed by four levels, as follows:
No. 1 in 250 feet with a vertical
depth of 175 feet; No. 2, 200 ft.,
depth 500 ft.; No. 3,100 ft., depth
650 ft., and No. 4, 570 ft., depth
1000 feet, Ore is now coming
from No. 1, No. 2 and No. 4,
although the latter is not yet in to
the main bonanza ore-body.   The
ore zone is over 100 feet wide, with
the high grade anywhere from one
to 30 feet wide. A combination
concentrating, flotation and cyanide mill, with capacity of 150 tonB,
has been placed in operation, run
by hydro-electric power most of the
year and by auxiliary Diesel
engines during the dry seasons.
The plant is said to have cost
around $300,000. The last important addition to equipment was the
11-mile tramway completed by the
Riblet Tramway Co. of this city in
December and which has the distinction of using the longest moving cable in the world. The new
tram was fully covered in an
illustrated article which appeared
in the last anniversary Number of
Mining Truth. The total cost was
about $250,000.
The mine is now producing
between 5000 and 5500 tons
monthly, January consignments
reaching a value of $500,000 and
those of February about the same.

Naas Valley Notes
Wm. Stewart has had the mis-
ijfortune to lose his horse which he
('bought last summer, and George
fWohlsohlegel's horse is ailing.
The   rest  of the stock in   the
JjValley   have   come   through    the
winter in fine condition and are all
jjdoing well.
Prank Hoeft and  J.  Nick have
had   a   very   successful   trapping
': season this winter.
Large numbers of the Indians
j have moved to. Fishery Bay for the
i oolichan Ashing and a good many
! are still trapping.     ,
J. J. Phillips is on his way back
to the valley and is bringing in a
new settler.
Numerous enquiries are being
received by every mail from prospective settlers regarding transportation in the valley and there
I is no doubt that as soon as a
school is built and transportation
provided that the valley would
quickly develop into one of the
most prosperous communities in
the north.
Liberal is Given Great
Majority at Nelson
Kenneth Campbell, Liberal, was
elected to the Provincial Legislature at Nelson on March 23. He
defeated the Conservative candidate, Mayor C. P. McHardy by a
majority of 559 votes. The final
figures stand: Campbell 1053, McHardy 494.
The election was made necessary
by the resignation last autumn of
Dr. W. O. Rose, Conservative, who
had represented Nelson in the
Legislature since 1916.
On and after the 1st. of April,
1922, the rate of postage on money
packets addressed to places within
Canada, the Empire, the United
States and Mexico will be five
cents an ounce or fraction of an
ounce.
As the prepayment required on
money packets posted for delivery
within Canada, the Empire, the
United States and Mexico includes
the war tax of one cent, money
packets weighing one ounce or less
should be prepaid six cents for the
first ounce and five cents for each
subsequent ounce or fraction of an
ounce. The registration fee of ten
cents is also to be prepaid.
A new species of bird, known as
the "snow bird" has made its
appearance in Prince Rupert this
spring. These "birds't are migrating from the south and are looking
for more congenial quarters.
