Government Will Soon Commence Trail Work The extension of the sidewalks on First Street, will be undertaken immediately states Mr. W. A. Talbot, distriot engineer, who arrived at Alice Arm on Thursday. As soon as the snow is off the ground, the pack trail on the North East Fork of the Kitsault River will be extended a distance of three miles. Repairing the trail on Roundy Creek to the Keystone will also he undertaken as soon as possible. The money for the two latter projects has been appropriated by the Mines Department. In reply to a question regarding other work, Mr. Talbot stated that undoubtedly several trails would be considerably improved in the Upper Kitsault Country and he anticipated an extension of the wing dam protecting the town. The extension would, however, be done toward the latter end of the summer. Assessment Work on Claims Shows Increase Last week in our front page illns- strated article we showed to what extent the miuingindustry of Alice Arm was expanding by the advent of new capital. Not only is a greater interest taken in the district by mining companies, but records show that prospectors were also more active during last year than the previous year. During 1925 assessment work was recorded on 377 olaims, while iu 1926 the amount jumped to 443. This increase shows the healthy state the mining industry enjoys, and is a sure sign of the further expansion of the industry in the distriot. Balance of Machinery Arrives For Toric Mine A quantity of machinery for the new concentrator at the Torio mine arrived on Monday, and will lie transported to its destination as soon as the railway track is clear of snow. This shipment completes the mill maohinery with the exoep tion of the generator, whioh is due to arrive in June, after which it is expeoted the mill will shortly be operating, thus putting another mine on the Alice Arm shipping list. Government Will Assist Trail To Saddle Property Half a ton of powder was taken to the Saddle property on Hastings Arm, on Saturday by the launch Awake in readiness for the development work outlined in last week's issue. In order to provide transportation from tide water, the government has signified its willingness to appropriate $1000-00 provided an equal amount is contributed by the company. Annual Report United Church Shows Much Progress The annual congregational meeting of the United Church was held in the Church Hal) on Wednesday April 27th. at 8 p.m. The meeting took the form of a banquet. After all had partaken of the good eats supplied by the ladies. Rev C. D. Clarke, the chairman, opened the programme by welcoming all to the annual meeting. The toast to the Ladies' Aid was proposed in well chosen words by Mr. Thos. Kirkwood. Mrs. Patrick responded telling of the activities of the Aid during the year and reported that au amount of $834 had been raised and expended. The greater part of this sum was used in making payment on the Church debt, and in finishing and furnishing the Churoh Hall. Mr. Wilby proposed the toast to the Sunday School and Miss Marjory Cloke, the Secretary, responded by giving the statement of finances for the year.

Dumont and Emerson have spent the past few weeks here building n float and moving the equipment ou to it. They will operate near Port Simpson, and have a contract with the Big Bay Lumber Co. of Georgetown for the sale of logs. Producing Mine Failed To Receive Mention In our front page article last week dealing with the mining industry of Alice Arm for the coming season, we failed to mention the Wolf mine as one of the properties that will be operating this year. The omission was due entirely to an oversight. The Wolf has been operated for over two years by J. Fiva and P. Peterson, and is moreover, a producing mine. It is less than five minute's walk from town, and a nice vein of ore is being mined and stored ready for shipment. The mine is financed by the operators, who have accomplished a large amount of work, and it is this kind of spirit and perseverance that has built up many mining camps, paving the way for the big operators. Arrangements Made For Summer Baseball Sport The Annual Baseball Meeting was held on Wednesday evening, when business for the coming season was discussed, and officers elected. Mr. R. Manning took the ohairforthe meeting and F. F. Brown acted as secretary. Nominations were immediately called for the office of President. The nominees were: Dr. H. S. Trefry aud Mr. W. B.

Roy was the unanimous choice of the meeting for Secretary-Treas. An Arbitration Board was also elected the following being chosen: H. B. Chapman-, H. Kirk, Chas. McLachlan, H. Goebel, J. Wilson, Dr. Lang. Team entries for the season were then called for and the following were entered: Elks entered by A. S. Nickerson; Concentrator by E. J. Waterman; Canadian Legion by Charles Harman. In connection with the Legion, it was stated that their entry was Imade more or less depending upon the help of the mine, which are unable to enter a team this season through lack of a sufficient number of players. t ALICE ARM NOTES I Hand Laundry Work done at reasonable prices.—Miss B.

E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. "The well trained nurse is the backbone of public health,'' said Dr. F. W. Routley, Director ofthe Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society, recently when addressing the Woman's Canadian Club in London. "She is the link between the scientific processes of public health measures and the public that has to use them." He then told of the public health nursing courses which are now established in six Canadian Universities through the efforts of the Canadian Red Cross; of the institution of travelling tuberculosis clinics; ofthe nation-wide instruction in Home Nursing Classes through which, in the past four years, over 11,000 women have received this valuable training and he expressed the opinion that in a few years' time this study would be added to the ordinary school curriculum for girls. In speaking of the outpost Hospitals, so many of which are now being operated by the Red Cross throughout the frontier portions of the dominion, Dr. Routley paid tribute to the magnificent services of the nurses in those institutions and referred to the need for healthy education of school children through the Junior Red Cross or other agency because "the production of a health concience in every child in Canada would go a long way toward wiping out the worst of our preventable diseases." "The nursing service should never be confined to hospitals" said Dr. Routley in conclusion. "It ought to penetrate the whole community and if it be at all possible such small emergency hospitals or health centres ought to exist in every settlement so that the necessary health education might be within reach of all our people." should be destroyed or removed at this time. A swat at the fly now means a whole lot toward his control at the height of his season, Stopping the fly before he gets started is a good method to pursue in handling him. A sharp offensive against him is the best defense against him. Destroy his potential breeding places now and insure against his flourish a little later. Look about your premises and see what you can do to stop him before he gets the jump on you. The diaphragm beats a tattoo on the stomach when you laugh. Every time you let go a hearty laugh this diaphragm pops up and down on your liver, and helps to drive away the very thing that gives you the blues-biliousness. Laughter is the best brand of pills on earth. Laughter strikes in when it comes from without, and instantly comes to the surface when it starts from within. Laughter penetrates. You may laugh because you are happy, and you may be happy because you laugh. It is the one thing where the cause is the effect and the effect is the cause. Any man can be a millionaire of good cheer.

A little cleaning at this season will do much to prevent a plentiful supply of flies a littte later. Eradication of possible breeding places for flies now will be much easier than to kill the crop when it appears a few weeks hence. To that end all rubbish piles or other attractive spots for fly culture Sulphides From Britannia Tailings Find Market An interesting development has been worked out by the Britannia Mining & Smelting Co., a subsidiary of the Howe sound oompany. The Britannia ore contains considerable pyrite and pyrrhotite, which until lately has been allowed to flow away with the tailings. Recently an addition was made to the mill to allow a separation, or partial separation, to be made of the iron sulphides from the earthy minerals in the tailings. The company now is selling about 4,000 tons of iron sulphides per month to pulp and paper manufacturers, who are using it iu place of native sulphur, and who are said to be making a considerable saving thereby.

The Dunwell mill started a few weeks ago, while another mill for Portland Canal distriot is that planned for the Independence. There has been talk of a mill for the big Missouri, but this has been spoken of for a long time, with nothing happening. On the Coronation gold mine, Bridge River, a new Denver mill has been working for about two months. Near by is the Lome mine, for which a Denver mill has been ordered. The Pioneer is also to have a 100-ton mill whioh will be in operation this year. A mill well under way is that of the Torio Mines, Alice Arm district which will be in operation about the middle of the season. An ample supply of ore is ready. At the Duthie Mines near Smithers, a mill of 50 tons capacity will be built. ThiB property is showing up remarkably well, eaoh succeeding discovery of ore being better than any previous. The Whitewater, Slocan district which has been making good progress since reorganization a year or two ago, will have a mill of 150 tons. The Galena Syndicate, operating the Ruth mine, .near Golden, is getting ore ready for a mill of 50 tons. The Monarch, near Field operated by A. B. Trites, Vancouver, may have a mill this year.

Annual Report United Church Shows Much Progress Assessment Work on Claims Shows Increase Last week in our front page illus- strated article we showed to what extent the mining industry of Alice Arm was expanding by the advent of new capital. Not only is a greater interest taken in the district by mining companies, but records show that prospectors were also more active during last year than the previous year. During 1925 assessment work was recorded on 377 olaims, while in 1926 the amount jumped to 443. This increase shows the healthy state the mining industry enjoys, and is a sure sign of the further expansion of the industry in the distriot. Logging Equipment Is Taken South Don't Forget to Renew Your Miner's Licence Prospectors and owners of miner al claims, don't forget that Tuesday May 31st. is the last day for renew ing Free Miner's Licences.

After all had partaken of the good eats supplied by the ladies. Rev C. D. Clarke, the chairman, opened the programme >y welcoming all to the annual meeting. The toast to the Ladies' Aid was proposed iu well chosen words by Mr. Thos. Kirkwood. Mrs. Patrick responded, telling of the activities of the Aid during the year and reported that an amount of $834 had been raised and expended.

Producing Mine Failed To Receive Mention In our front page article last week dealing with the mining industry of Alice Arm for the coming season, we failed to mention the Wolf mine as one of the properties that will be operating this year. The omission was due entirely to an oversight. The Wolf has been operated for over two years by J. Fiva and P. Peterson, and is mqreover, a producing mine, It is less than five minute's walk from town, and a nice vein of ore is being mined and stored ready for shipment. The mine is financed by the operators, who have accomplished a large amount of work, and it is this kind of spirit and perseverance that has built up many mining camps, paving the way for the big operators. Arrangements Made For Summer Baseball Sport The Annual Baseball Meeting was held on Wednesday evening, when business for the coming season was discussed and officers elected. Mr. R. Manning took the chair for the meeting and F. F. Brown acted as secretary. Nominations were immediately called for the office of President. The. nominees were: Dr. H. S. Trefry aud Mr. W. B. Maxwell and the latter was- elected. Nominations were then called for Vice-President Tom Mcintosh and F. E. Patton being nominated, the former being elected to the office. Doug. Roy was the unanimous choice of the meeting for Secretary-Treas. An Arbitration Board was also elected the following being chosen: H. B. Chapman, H. Kirk, Chas. McLachlan, H. Goebel, J. Wilson, Dr. Lang. Team entries for the season were then called for and the following were entered: Elks entered by A. S. Nickerson; Concentrator by E. J. Waterman; Canadian Legion by Charles Harman. In connection with the Legion, it was stated that their entry was made more or less depending upon the help of the mine, which are unable to enter a team this season through lack of a sufficient number of players. Mr. R. Goulet, Seoretary of the Pioneer Savings and loan Association and Mr. Wainer of the same company arrived in town ou Monday.

Routley, Director ofthe Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society, recently when addressing the Woman's Canadian Club in London. "She is the link between the scientific processes of public health measures and the public that has to use them." He then told of the public health nursing courses which are now established in six Canadian Universities through the efforts of the Canadian Red Cross; of the institution ot travelling tuberculosis clinics; ofthe nation-wide instruction in Home Nursing Classes through which, in the past four years, over 11,000 women have received this valuable training and he expressed the opinion that in a few years' time this study would be added to the ordinary school curriculum for girls. In speaking of the outpost Hospitals, so many of which are now being operated by the Red Cross throughout the frontier portions of the dominion, Dr. Routley paid tribute to the magnificent services of the nurses in those institutions and referred to the need for healthy education of school children through the Junior Red Cross or other agency because "the production of a health concience in every child in Canada would go a long way toward wiping out the worst of our preventable diseases." "The nursing service should never be confined to hospitals" said Dr. Routley in conclusion. "It ought to penetrate the whole community and if it be at all possible such small emergency hospitals or health centres ought to exist in every settlement so that the necessary health education might be within reach of all our people." should be destroyed or removed at this time. A swat at the fly now means a whole lot toward his control at the height of his season, Stopping the fly before he gets started is a good method to pursue in handling him. A sharp offensive against him is the best defense against him. Destroy his potential breeding places now and insure against his flourish a little later. Look about your premises and see what you can do to stop him before he gets the jump on you. The diaphragm beats a tattoo on the stomach when you laugh. Every time you let go a hearty laugh this diaphragm pops up and down on your liver, and helps to drive away the very thing that give: you the blues-biliousness. Laughter is the best brand ol pills on earth. Laughter strikes in when it comes from without, and instantly comes to the surface when it starts from within. Laughter penetrates.

A little cleaning at this season will do much to prevent a plentiful supply of flies a littte later. Eradication of possible breeding places for flies now will be much easier than to kill the crop when it appears a few weeks hence. To that end all rubbish piles or other attractive spots for fly culture I Sulphides From Britannia Tailings Find Market An interesting development has been worked out by the Britannia Mining & Smelting Co., a subsidiary of the Howe sound company. The Britannia ore contains considerable pyrite and pyrrhotite, which until lately has been allowed to flow away with the tailings. Recently an addition was made to the mill to allow a separation, or partial separation, to be made of the iron sulphides from the earthy minerals in the tailings. The company now is selling about 4,000 tons of iron sulphides per month to pulp and paper manufacturers, who are using it in place of native sulphur, and who are said to be making a considerable saving thereby.
