Schedule
Mechanics won the first half of
the basketball schedule when they
turned back the Beach on Monday
to win 24-16. Play in the first half
was close, the score at the intermission being 8-6. A win for the

Mechanics speeded up and earned
the right to take part in the postseason play-offs.
The Teams were: Mechanics,
Lindgren 4; Steele 10; Lazorek 6;

Indian Reserve Will Be
Placed on Market
Whether the former Indian He-
serve at Alice Arm will be placed
on the market this year, and what
preference will begivon those occupying the land when it is done, has
been a matter of conjecture since
the ground was surveyed last summer.
In reply to a letter requesting
information sent to the Minister of
Lands by tlie Herald, the Hon. V.
P. Burden stated that the field
notes and plans of the recent survey had not yet been dealt with.
He, however, stated that:
"It is the intention as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be
made to offer these parcels for sale
at public auction. In the meantime
consideration will be given to the
matter of the improvements by persons living on the area with a view
to making arrangements to meet
the conditions. No action will be
taken without giving the public due
notice."

Visitor Speaks Highly
Of Esperanza
Mine
The tonnage of ore developed;
the capable manner in which work
is being done, and the favotable
location of the mine is much better
than 1 even anticipated stated Mr.
W. Leinss, after making a thorough
examination of the Esperauza mine
over the week-end.
Mr. Leinss came north from Trail
for the specific purpose of examining
the mine on behalf of forty shareholders of Trail. He was accompanied by Angus MacDonald, an
old resident of this district, at whose
invitation the visit was made.
Mr. Leinss stated that he believes
the Esperanza will become a big
producer and due to its ideal
location so close to tide-water should
be a financial success. A large
amount of stock in the mine is held
by people of Trail, Rossland and
Nelson.
An emergency meeting of the
shareholders of the company was
held at Prince Rupert during the
week. It was attended by Mr.
Leinss and Mr. MacDonald. Future
plans in regard to the development
of the property were e\pected to be
decided upon.
Development work at the mine is
progressing with all possible speed.
:iThe big ore body is even larger than
was expected. A report of recent
development work will be published
in our next issue.

Basketball Dance Enjoyed
The   dance   arranged   by   the
Basketball association last Friday
was much enjoyed.   Profits were
about forty dollars—considerably
less than hoped for.    Great credit

I whom the burden was thrust. The
[Committee comprised Pres. V. S,
McRae, Vice-Pres. Miss Richards,
ISeoy-Treas.   Manning   and   Miss

Russo-Asiatic Cons. Is
The Company Making
Offer Toric Mine
The Russo-Asiatic Metal Consolidated is the company that has made
an offer for the Toric mine, terms
of which were published in our last
issue.
Their offer puts a price of $1,050,-
000 in cash and stock on the Toric,
an increase of $200,000 over the
Britannia deal, giving much more
favorable conditions to the shareholders. It means giving the shareholders about 80c. on the dollar of
Toric stock issued, and 80c. on the
dollar in new shares for all Toric
stock issued.
The above company is one of the
strongest mining corporations in the
British Empire, with a paid up
capital of three million pound sterling or $15,000,000.
Agreements of the t.ansfer have
been forwarded from London to
Vancouver for the B. C. directors
to sign. The majority of British
shareholders have accepted the
offer.
The passing of the Toric mine to
such a huge concern will be welcome news for the distriot. Ample
funds will be available for development work and equipping the mine
with a mill, power plant etc. large
enough to make it possibtato treat
a large tonnage of ore economically.
The above was received at the
Herald office by mail during the
week.
From other sources it is understood that a meeting of the shareholders of the Toric mine will be
held on February 20th. to ratify
the transfer. Following which, the
Russo-Asiatic Corporation will examine the mine.
The Financial News in its issue
of February 1st. published a lengthy
article regarding the new offer, a
portion of which is as follows:
" "On reliable authority The
Financial News learns that Toric
Mines Ltd. directorate does not at
present intend to ratify the tentative
option on the property, arranged by
a director, with the Britannia Mining and Smelting Co. and that a
deal, on terms which would appear
to be more advantageous to shareholders of Toric, is being negotiated
with Russo Asiatic Consolidated, a
British mining organization, whereby the latter will take over and
operate the Alice Arm property."
'As a result of this action A. C.
H. Gerclardi, manager of the company, who recently launched an
action against Toric Mines Ltd. for
claim of approximately $23,000, is
expected to drop the suit."
A Toric shareholder, visiting Vancouver from London presumably in
behalf of a majority of shareholders,
and despite the opposition of F. W.
Bernard,,president, and Mr. Gerhardi, entered into a deal with the
Britannia Mining & Smelting Co,,
Ltd., on what was regarded by

Pre-election promises by Provincial Conservatives, of legislation
to further assist and develop the
mining industry are implemented
in a measure forecast in the King's
Speech, to amend the Mineral
Survey and Development Act.
One outstanding feature of this legislation will improve administration
facilities in connection with the
various mining districts into which
the province is divided, of each of
which a Mines Department Resident Engineer now has charge,
with a residential or official base
within his district, and in large districts with an associate engineer
assisting him.
It is now proposed to enlarge
the governmental power so that the
Minister, with Executive concurrence, when occasion warrants may
re-define, create or readjust the
boundaries of such mining divisions,
or shift the resident engineer's
headquarters, or otherwise improve
the Department's administrative and
technical facilities in the field to
keep pace with new discoveries,
rapid expansions or other deviations
from normal growth, especially
peculiar to mining country and in
mining operations.
Another feature of this progressive legislation defines the assistant
or associate engineer of a district
possessing two such representatives
of the Mines Department as the
Assistant Engineer thereof, instead
of as "the assistant to the engineer,"
which latter designation tends to
lessen public appreciation of His
professional status.
Amendment of the Act in these
particulars will enable the Department more expeditiously and
efficiently to co-operate with the
pioneers in development of new
mining areas as such are discovered, and to move its officials about
without time loss and to the general advantage of the industry whenever particular districts experience
Demand For Copper
Undiminished
Sustained demand from abroad
appears to have started the latest
Hurry in tlie copper market. Sales
to foreign consumers are already in
excess of 50,000 tons this month,
and it is not impossible that the
realization of this active foreign
demand served to bring domestic
consumers into the market, despite
the relatively unfavorable Decern
ber statistics. Copper Exporters,
Inc., advanced its price to 17.25c.
per pound, c. i. f., today.
Sales on domestic account in the
last week have been about twice
normal. Considerably more than
half of this total was sold on Monday and Tuesday of this week. In
fact, late Tuesday afternoon sever-'
al sales at close to the 17c. Connec
ticut Valley equivalent were consummated, and most of the sellers
were making no offers below that
level. Today all sales agencies are
quoting 17c, though tlie tonnage
sold at this price has been very
small.—Engineering & Mining
Journal.
Copper   Rise    Worth
Millions to B. C.
To British Columbia, which is
Canada's leading copper producer,
the rise in price of copper is cheering news. Every additional quarter of a cent rise in the price means
an increase of a quarter of a million
dollars a year to B. C. producers,
the total production of the province
being now approximately one hundred million pounds a year.
Without doubt the rising price
of the red metal is a big factor in
the abnormal run for copper stocks,
both on the local and on the Eastern Canada and New York market.
Canadian Wheat Yield 1928

Canada's yield of wheat for 1928
was 533,571,700 bushels. This is
the first time the crop has passed

announced by the bureau of statistics.
periods of exceptionally rapid
growth owing to new discoveries
and consequent stimulated appeal
lo the public imagination.
This new legislation follows
generally the lines of Ontario's,
which has worked exceedingly well.

Government  Will Not
Allow Duplication
While there is keen competition
between the two big railway companies for the right of entry to a
number of districts in the wheat
fields of the prairies, it is generally
understood that they arrive at
some understanding by which each
will serve a certain definite territory.
There will also be some arrangement in regard to the opening up
of the Peace River, where joint
control of tlw existing line is being
arranged.
The sentiment is expressed that
parliament would not allow any
duplication of lines. The folly of
doing so in the past has been made
clear in the case of the double line
through the Yellowhead pass,
where one of the tracks has been
turned into a highway.

Chamber of Mines Is
Active Organization
The British Columbia Chamber
of Mines has issued a cpmplete report of its work during the year.
This report was presented to the
annual meeting held on January
8th. During the year, the Chamber has moved from its old location
to the B. C. Mining Building,
quarters that are very suitable.
A great deal of work has been
entailed in attending to exhibits of
ores, coal and coal by-products and ,
mineral   products   at   exhibitions
both here and in Toronto.
Mining classes were attended
last winter by nearly 150 students.
Weekly lectures held during the
winter months have been of interest to the public and met with
good support.
Niohol Thompson has accepted
the presidency of the Chamber for
the coming year and Frank Wood-
side, for a number of years presi
dent, has now taken on secretarial
duties in place of H; Browning,
who resigned as secretary to accept
a position with Lennard, Poisson
and Waghorn, Limited.

Upwards of four millions ot dollars will be expended this season
to effecting alterations, improvements, and extensions to the Pallls-
ter Hotel at Calgary, Alberta, and
the Empress Hotel at Viotoria, British Columbia. E. W. Beatty, chairman and president of the Canadian
Pacific Railway has just announced. Four additional floors will be

Twenty head of holstein cattle
from Alberta pure bred herds have
nrrlved at Vancouver over Canadian Pacific Railway lines for shipment to Japan. These cattle were collected for a Japanese buyer by deputy minister of agriculture Craig.
Quite a few such shipments have
passed through this port recently.
The purchase of the stock for Japan
was made through the Alberta government and the cattle were selected from various herds in the provr
ince. Several of the animals or
their immediate ancestors have records of 20,000 pounds of milk per
year and all of them are from high
producing dams.
A monster black bear weighing
over 400 pounds that stalked upright through the woods seeking
what or whom it might devour and
which had no forepawe, has just
been trapped in New Brunswick,
according to Dave Ogilvy, well-
known guide and outfitter. The
beast used to rifle all the garbage
dumps and refuse heaps in the
neighbourhood of Plaster Rock, on
the line of the C. P. R„ and wm
caught by means of a trap hidden
under dead leaves and some old
paint tins. Examination of the
body showed that its forefeet were
crippled, either by deformity at
birth or by an accident, and that
It must have walked about on its
hind feet. Only tracks of the rear
pawB had been found, and considerable mystery existed as to the
maurader. Seymour Traffon and

main terms of this agreement, it is
understood, are as follows:
"Toric is to create $75,000 of 8
per cent, debentures, repayable
March 31, 1931, replacing authorized but unissued debentures. Russo
Asiatic is to transmit immediately
$50,000 to a Vancouver bank to be
handed over for creditors when Toric
shareholders approve the agreement
and equivalent new debentures are
delivered to the bank. Russo Asiatic Consolidated is to send an engineer to examine the property immediately, and if satisfactory, at
their expense, will proceed to develop the property with option to
October 31, 1930, to purchase the
property and plant for $500,000 in
shares in a new $3,000,000 shares
capital Co. to be formed by Russo
Asiatic Consolidated within three
months after the option is exercised,
and $250,000 cash on completion of
purchase and further $250,000 cash

interest will be charged during the
period of the option, in any event.

That is why its flavour is so uniformly excellent. Insist upon getting it from your grocer—refuse substitutes of inferior quality.
