Big Upset Occurs In Re-opening Basket- Bail Games Ra-opening with a grand flourish after the Christmas adjournment, basketball enthusiasts played three good games on Monday the 8th. with a nioe crowd pf fans attending, ln the third game quite an upset oocurred, the Trojans inflicting a deoisive defeat on their old enemies the Mechanics. The first blow of the whistle sent the B teams, Pirates and Mechanics, to face each other. This was a hard fought game, with the lathemen leading the score 17-12. The teams: Pirates, K. Falconer 1, D. MoDonald, T. Scott 5, W. Hardy, D. Ferguson 5, B. Parsons, J. Dodsworth I. Mechanics B. Carter 7, Church 2, Patrick 4, Boud 2, O'Neill, D. Hamilton 2. In the ladies' game the Aces trailed along behind the Spooks and finished up on the short end of a 29-13 score. They held their own pluokily against a more experienced quintette and on present showing will give a better account of themselves at a later date. N. Salmon was star performer for the Aoes and K. Eve notched 12 points for the Spooks. The teams: Aces, P. Loudon 4, N. Salmon 7, H, Simpson, N. Wenerstrom, J. Pinokney 2, D. Rogers. Spooks, L. Dresser 8, M. Cloke 7, K. Eve 12, T. Gordon 2, M. Dresser. A real tussle was witnessed in the game between the Mechanics and Trojans, the latter playing their best game of the season. All the speed and wilyness of the Mechanics availed nothing against the alert and quick-passing Trojans, who could do nothing wrong. Matters were about equal in the first half, but the machine men wilted in the second stanza before the onslaught of the determined junior team. The teams: Mechanics, C. Dresser 6, W. Murray 1, I. Davies 4, W. Watson 2, J. Buntain 8, L. Gillies 1. Trojans: B. Gillies 17, H. Dresser 5, F. Gordon 5, F. Dodsworth 4, T. Scott 4, W. Shields. All three games were fixtures whioh were postponed prior to the holiday adjournment. Two important social events are at present being anticipated in Anyox. The first of these is the Burns' Supper and Dance, to be held in the Gymnasium on Burns' Night, January 25th. The second is the I. 0. D. E. Danoe on February 12th. Both events should draw good crowds. *W*:4«:~*:i:-A<**»;; STEAMSHIP PRINCE GEORGE Which received considerable damage to her hull when she went aground on Vadso Rock near Anyox on December 20th. The Prince George is undergoing repairs at the Drydock, Prince Rupert. The work is expected to take six weeks or two months, employing nearly 100 men. She will be given her annual overhaul at the same time as repair work is being made.

Metal Output of Canada Showed Big Increase Last Year Larger Outputs of Copper, Lead and Zinc. Gold and Silver Lower Delivering The Northern Mail In Winter Calls For Endurance Just what mailmen in some of the northern districts of B. C. have to face iu the winter time is little known to most people. Deep snow treacherous ice, occasional open water and absence of trails are among their troubles, to say nothing of quick changes of temperature and the necessity of adapting themselves accordingly. Walter McMillan, who carries the mail between Mill Bay and Aiyansh, was a recent visitor to Anyox, journeying there from Kincolith in the launch Eva A. He told of a recent mail trip whioh was typical of many at this time. In company with his two partners, Dinnie Morvern and A. S. Williams, he started from Aiyansh for Mill Bay with a dog team, a pile of mail, snowshoes, provisions, and other equipment. The ice on the river was covered with several feet of show for some miles, making the going slow and difficult. Every now and then open water would be encountered and a detour round the land would have to be made. This generally occurs at points where the oountry is hilly and rough and the safe transportation of a pile of mail by dog team is no small task. Evenings would bring storms, with more snow to cope, with. Nearing Mill Bay there is a stretoh of open water to negotiate, aud before reaching this point a row boat is picked up aud paoked on the sleigh for some distance. On reaohing open water, the boat is loaded up and rowed for four or I. 0. D. E.

Meeting The members of Collison of Kin- oolith Chapter, I. O. D. E., commenced their activities for the Mw* year on Tuesday afternoon, January 9th, The proceedings opened with a luncheon at 1.30, which was given by the members, under the oonvenership of Mrs. W. Murdoch. Following the luucheon four new members were received into the Order; viz, Mrs. Alex Dunn, Miss F. Allan, Miss D. Grigg, Miss A. McDonald. The new members were received by the Regent, Mrs. Lang, who emphasised the importance and high standing of the Order. Letters of thanks were received from various people to whom Christmas cheer had been sent. Under the direction of Mrs. Ruckhaber, convener of relief work, an appeal is to be made to the people of Anyox, for clothes and shoes for needy people in outlying districts, It was shown that in the Terrace district, especially there is need for assistance. In order to raise funds for its work, the Chapter will hold a Grand Danoe on February 12th Some unusual features will make this function an event of real at traction. The members are undertaking the collection of picture aud scrap books for the Preventorium in Vancouver. Nomination of officers for the ensuing year also took place.

Definite improvement in Canada's mining industry is revealed in the official estimate of mineral production for 1933, published by the Mining, Metallurgical and Chemical Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa. The total value of production in the mining industry amounted to $198,253,000, an increase of 8.5 per cent, over the 1932 total of $182,681,915, but this total figure does not include any allowance for the difference between the standard price of gold and the average price of gold for the year in Canadian dollars; this allowance has been computed at $23,378,000. Metals as a group totalled $124,382,000, an increase of 20 per cent, over the total of $103,495,453 in 1932; fuels, including coal, natural gas and crude petroleum, showed a slight falling off amounting to 3.5 per cent.; non-metals, other than fuels and including such minerals as asbestos, feldspar, salt, sodium, sulphate, etc., increased 28 per cent, to $9,898,000. Production of construction materials reflected conditions in the building industry and marked a decrease of 25 per cent, when compared with the previous year, but evidence was not wanting during the past few months of the year to prove an upward trend in the mineral products of this group. It is in Canada's metal production that the improvement is most marked. The metals group contains large exportable surpluses of copper, lead and zinc and to be able to successfully carry on under the existing world low prices of recent years reflects great credit upon the management and employees of the mines producing these metals. In the precious metals group, silver production has shown a decrease on account of the low price prevailing during recent years and because of the depletion of ore reserves in the old Cobalt camp and in the Mayo district of the Yukon. Gold output is also less by about three per cent., but its value in Canadian funds is the highest on record. Copper production for the year totalled 300,978,523 pounds valued at $21,646,000, an increase of 22 per cent, in quantity and 42 per Continued on page 2 4£i«AftattttfliifrU ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Saturday, January 13. 1934 Alice Arm & Anyox Herald Issued every Saturday at Alice Arm Alice Arm and Anyox $2.00 Yearly Other Parts of Canada, $2.25 British Isles and United States, $2.50 Notices for Crown Grants • - $15.00 Land Notices .... $15.00 Transient Advertising, 50c. per inch Contract Rates on Application, E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. Metal Output of Canada Showed Big Increase Last Year Larger Outputs of Copper, Lead and Zinc. Gold and Silver Lower Continued from page 1 cent, in value over the previous year. With five large copper producers and with excellent refining facilities in Ontario and Quebec and an export market which has been built up through the excellence of the product, the increase of output readily reflects the improved conditions in the countries to which Canada sells. Copper is produced in blister form at Anyox, British Columbia; from concentrates at Britannia, British Columbia; in blister form at Flin Flon, Manitoba, which is refined at the Canadian Copper Refiners, Ltd. at Montreal East; from the copper-nickel ores of the Sudbury district, Ontario, part of which is exported in the form of copper-nickel matte, the remainder being treated by the Ontario Refining Company Ltd., Copper Cliff, Ontario; in blister copper at the Noranda smelter which is refined by the Canadian Copper Refiners, Montreal East; and from concentrates at Eustis, P. Q., which are exported. Average monthly prices for copper increased from 5.70877 cents per pound (English prices converted to Canadian funds) in January to a high of 9.1508 cents in July, receding to an average of 7.505 cents from the first two weeks of December, the average for the year being 7.437 cents as against 6.3802 cents in 1932. Silver production totalled 15,360- 764 fine ounces valued at $5,774,000 as against 18,347,907 fine onnces worth $5,811,081 in 1932, a decrease of 16 per cent, in quantity but only 0.64 per cent, in value. The principal source of Canada's silver at the present time is the Sullivan mine in British Columbia, where it occurs in association with lead and zinc. The number of mines in the old Cobalt district of Ontario are gradually narrowing down. The Treadwell Yukon Company's mine in the Mayo district of the Yukon contributed some 2,200,000 fine ounces. The price of silver showed considerable improvement during the past year. In January the New York price converted to Canadian funds was 29.0449 cents per fine ounce. This rose to an average of 39;8295 cents i Howe Sound Mining Company Increase Dividends Directors of the Howe Sound Mining Co., which controls the great Britannia copper operation on Howe Sound, declared a dividend for the .quarter of 75c. payable December 30, to shareholders of record December 29th. The last quarterly dividend was 25c. After the meeting the directors issued the following statement: "Earnings for the quarter with December estimated are satisfactory due in part to favorable exchange rates, and to a lesser degree in in ventory sales. In view of the above, the directors, feeling that the utmost consideration should be given stockholders at this time, have declared a dividend of 75c. It is the intention of the board hereafter to make all dividends, when declared, payable at the end of each quarter. Federal Government Studies Public Works Program While the cabinet is engrossed in a review of its financial problems for the coming year it is learned that consideration is being given to a programme of public works as a relief measure in Canada. Such works would be limited to those which can bo financed without increasing the gold anchorage. The Roosevelt policy of substituting public works for direct relief is regarded as encouraging to the similar plan, under consideration and which was officially indicated iu a radio address by the Prime Minister in November. Employment In Canada Still Shows Increase For the eighth consecutive month, employment in Canada has shown an increase in comparison with the previous month, according to an announcement made by Hon. H. H. Stevens, minister of trade and commerce. The number employed in the Dominion on December 1 this year, Mr. Stevens announced, was 850,486 as against 845,793 on November 1, or an increase of 4,693. in August, and rose to an average of 42.9473 cents during the first two weeks of December. Lead production at 269,040,791 pounds increased 5 per cent, and the total value at $6,450,000 increased 19 per cent, over 1932. Zinc output of 199,591,600 pounds and valued at $6,412,000 increased 16 per cent, in quantity and 55 per cent, in value over 1932. The Provincial fishing production was valued at approximately $12,- 000,000 last year as compared with $11,500,000 in the previous year.

By Strawberry Flats and the Silver Daisy 1—Falls about 5 mllea from Hope J—On the trail The little village of Hope, situated on the Fraser Biver about one hundred miles from the coast, is the starting point for all mountaineers wishing to reach the interior of British Columbia by the trail route. It is a scattered village of about two hundred inhabitants but possessing both an abundance of natural beauty and a truly romantic past. The village is flanked on one side by the noble Fraser river, while from the other side one looks up three wide draws in the mountain ranges. The one to the left is the beautiful Coquihalla valley through which the turbulent Coquihalla river cascades from a pass unmatched for rugged grandeur. Through this pass too. under innumerable snow sbeds and tunnels the Kettle Valley Bailway goes to Princeton and the Interior. In the centre is an opening for the Nicolum river, to the right is the Silver Creek draw and beyond it the snow-capped peaks of the Cascade range. The mountain trail over the Hope Pass is the old one known as the Dewdney which was surveyed and partly built for twenty-five miles out of Hope, by English Sappers in 1861. It winds up the Coquihalla Biver for a snort distance, then branches off with the Nicolum. a tributary of the former river. The way lies through Sylvan glades, past rushing waterfalls and over rustic bridges, the old dry "cribbing" of which is as firm as the day when it was laid. The flrst feeding ground for horses is at 12 Mile Lake —otherwise known as Divide Lake at an altitude of 2800 feet. This lake is the head waters of the Nicolum river. Here there is a beautiful hay meadow owned by a trapper and prospector who is patiently awaiting the day when the transprovincial road will give him a means of transporting his wealth, in the shape of hay, to outside points. At 22 Mile there is another beautiful camping spot. Here there is a large cabin situated in the forest's heart on the very banks of the Skagit river. The owner of it carries on prospecting and mining operations in the vicinity. He appropriately calls hto cabin "Defiance Camp'1 and his mine "The Silver Daisy." From here on for many miles the scenery becomes more wonderful, if that were possible, but at the same time more wild and rugged. The Pass, a narrow hallway bounded by cliffs thousands of feet high, Is a sight of never-ending marvel. At one spot, known as Skagit Muffs, the trail (a bare 18 inches wide) winds around the 2—The Sumoiii 4—Defiance Camp shoulder of a cliff which towers above and drops away a sheer one thousand feet to the bed of the river below. Then the trail once more drops down to the next feeding grounds at Cayuse Flats which has a sister spot three miles farther on—Cedar Flats. Beyond Cedar Flats lies a long strip of heavy cedar timber, a true "forest primeval." Strawberry Flats, a pleasant open field on the Skagit river at a height of 8700 feet is the last stopping place before the actual ascent to the summit begins. Here, in spite of the high altitude, wild strawberries grow in abundance. In the next 2800 feet (of the perpendicular of course!) one is led to the summit by a series of switchbacks dg- zagging up the face of the mountain. The river, which at the foot appeared a torrent, is here a tiny stream, a mere trickle over the stones. Below, the ever-lasting hills unroll themselves for a hundred miles of valley ana D6ftk# When the summit itself is attained a sight never to be forgotten appears. A wide open meadow lies in tn inverted crown on the mountain top. Around its edge rise whitish cliffs scarcely distinguishable from the many snow banks. And everywhere, even beside the snow, grows a bewildering variety of wild flowers. In the centre of the depression lie two lakes, the dividing of the waters, for from the one goes the Skagit river towards the sea and from the other flows the Whip Saw Creek towards the interior lakes. As soon as the descent of the eastern slope is begun a great change is noticeable. The grade is easy and steady, the country becomes more open and is clear of the under-brush and terns so characteristic of the western slope. The last camp is twenty miles from Princeton but the last nine miles of that distance are covered by a good motor road, the beginning of the proposed Trans- provincial-highway from Princeton to Hope. About eight miles from Princeton is a wonderfully interesting spot where stratified rocks yielding excellent fossils remains are located on the side of the hill. Shortly after this the valley opens out before one- Princeton snuggled peacefully into a friendly circle of hills and its two rivers, the Slmllkameen and Tulameen keeping guard over It. Beyond it, rises a splendid vista of rolling green foothills with more rugged mountains closer in, indicative of the districts most flourishing industries, ranching and mining. \. .. \1.ICH AKM AX!)

Canadian Gold Mines Paid Millions Profits In 1933 Thirteen Canadian gold mines (including Noranda, which in 1933 made most of its profits from gold) distributed dividends during the year just closed, totaling $23,164,- 927. This represents an increase of $3,341,751 over 1932. Of the 13 mines in the dividend list, eight increased distributions, while there were no decreases. Dividends to shareholders represent only a small proportion of the contributions of the gold mines to the country's income. The amount spent in wages, in materials and supplies and in taxes, (the latter being very heavy) absorbed the bulk of the difference between gross income of close to $90,000,000 and the amount of the dividends. British Columbia gold production last year amounted to approximately 238,000 ounces, valued at §0,500,000 in Canadian funds, it is announced by the Department of Mines. B. P. O.
