Tremendous Ore Body Proved On Highland And Tyee The most outstanding success in regard to results achieved by mining development work this year, in the Alice Arm district is the development work done on the Highland and Tyee Groups by the owner, A. McPhail. The work carried on this year, in addition to previous years, has exposed an ore body of large magnitude. Open cuts and surface stripping have proved that a mineralized ore zone, at least 300 feet wide and extending a distance of two miles is located on these properties. The ore is composed of galena, and assays taken at different places have given returns of 100 ozs. in silver per ton; lead 51 per cent, and assays for gold have given returns from a trace to $3.60 per ton. The ore also carries some copper values. Enough surface work has been done to justify the driving of a tun- |.iel to prove the ore at depth. Men this has been successfully ac- I:omplished, a mine of large propor- ;ions will have been proven, Archie McPhail, who is a veteran prospector states that it is one of the most promising ore bodies he has yet seen, and is convinced that it will be developed into a big mine as soon as sufficient capital is expended on it. The Highland and Tyee Groups I are located in the upper Kitsault ' Country on the east side of the river. They comprise thirteen claims and join the Chance on the north-east. The Chance consists of 6 claims and is owned by A. McPhail and P. Morley, which would make a total of 19 claims in one block. The Chance also contains some exceptional fine ore showings, that has been developed in previous years. - This year a new vein was discovered on the Cariboo No 1 claim. Surface work has proved it to be at least ten feet wide and it has been traced on the surface for over 1500 feet. The ore is galena and also carries zinc and copper. The ore has a south-easterly strike. At a claim length distance, however, on the Tyee Group the ore I body there dips to the west. The large ore body exposed on the Highland and Tyee, and also on the Chance, again proves that for size and richness the ore bodies of the Upper Kitsault Country are equal or surpass any in the province. The low prices prevailing for all metals at the present time is the only reason why development work on a large scale is not undertaken Dead Body Found In Water Near Anyox On November 1st. while proceeding from Anyox to Indian River, two Indians named Watt (brothers) found the body of a man on the beach at Brooks Island, about seven miles from Anyox. Owing to bad weather and other circumstances the Indians were unable to return to Anyox to report the matter until the morning of Wednesday last. Coroner G. S. Macdonald immediately set out with a party to bring in the body, which they did. Identification could not be established at once owing to decomposition. It is likely that it is the body of James Smith who was drowned in Granby Bay September 12th last. No one else is missing from the district except W. Lazorek, and as his destination when last seen at Silver City was Hazelton it is very unlikely that it is his body. Snooker Tournament Is Progressing In the second round of the Snooker tournament now being held at the Beach Pool Room, C. Elgood defeated A. Wright, J. Ion won from F. Sanderson, W. Hindmarsh beat Ed. Martin, S. Elliott won from R. Dunwoodie and A. Cavers defeated W. Watson. Quicker progress is expected with the concluding rounds. ANYOX NOTES F. B. Faulkner returned on Monday from a holiday visit to his home in Vancouver. J. McColl returned on Monday from a visit to his parents at Port Simpson. J. C, Brady Government engineer arrived on Tuesday from Alice Arm, leaving again on Wednesday for Prince Rupert. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Lindsay and son Jack left on Wednesday for a visit to Vancouver and Seattle. Mrs. E. C. Stone and daughter Lillian, left on Wednesday for Vancouver. D. McVicar, who has been sick at the Hospital for some considerable time left last week for Prince Rupert, where he will recuperate. by leading mining companies. When prices rise to a profitable level, Alice Arm will be among the first to feel the results of good times. This will be due to magnitude of its ore bodies and easy transportation facilities.

The first tilt was between the High .School and the Vandals, the latter running up a score of 37 to 22.! The Students made an excellent showing, and for a time it looked as .though they may pull off their first win, but experience and weight finally told against them. This was a, fast clean game that was good to watch. The teams: Vandals, F. Calder- oni-14, T. Calderdni-7, I. Davies- 8, Horton Jack-8, vG. Dyer. High School, H. Dresser-6, M. Patrick-6 F.

Basketball Personnels Lockie Gillies The coach of the husky Mechanic's team served his time at the game around the Y. M. C. A. in Vancouver, and since his advent in the smoky town, has acted in the capacity of gymnasium instructor, ball player, and referee par excellence. This year Lockie took all the players he could pick up around the Beach and has moulded together a team that packs both punch and drive. The Concentrator squad seem to have been their only stumbling block so far, but the last game showed the fans that, the millmen are not going to have things all their own way. The Mechanics are now spoken of with awe. and respect, mainly due to Lockie's quiet but effective coaching. Lockie knows the game thoroughly. Remembrance Day Observed Remembrance Day was strictly observed at Alice Arm. Downtown stores were closed. Poppies were sold on the streets throughout the day by Misses Leah Kergin and Joan Trinder.

World Copper Producers Will Hold Another Conference Coincident, with a further shading of the price of copper to 5 cents a pound plans for an international copper conference are taking definite form. The original plan was to hold the conference in Europe, but that has been changed at the suggestion of foreign producers. The present intention is to have the conference at New York. The time will be the latter half of November, with a possibility that the first session will be held around November 15. The change in plan for the place of conference was made because certain major foreign producers are coming over this month in any event. F. Pisart, managing director of the Belgian-owned Union Miniere du haut Katanga copper mines of Africa, will make his usual semi-annual visit to the United States in November and may bring with him his associate, M. Gut. Another consideration is that altogether the foreign delegation to the conference will comprise only a few men, while adequate representation of American copper interests would necessitate a visit abroad by possibly a dozen or more excutives, Foreign copper heads, in addition to the representatives of the Katan ga mines, would include officials representing British copper proper ties abroad. Sir Auckland Geddes, chairman of Rho Kaua, who is also chairman of the Rio Tinto Mines Ltd., will represent the latter com. pany. On this side it is certain that the South American and Canadian cop per companies will be represented at the conference. The subject of the conference undoubtedly will be curtailment. Tariffs have upset the agreement reached last winter to curtail to 20 per cent, of productive capacity. Geo. Wingfield's Banks Have Closed Twelve banks in the state of Nevada, controlled by Geo. Wingfield, closed down last week. The total deposits in the twelve banks is $17,000,000. ' Citizens of the state were taken unawares by the proclamation. Many of them were without cash on hand and faced the liklihood of having to resort to barter or scrip to carry on their daily business before the banking "moratorium" ends on November 14. Mr. Geo. Wingfield created a fortune from mining. He quit the mining and invested heavily in Nevada banks. He was at one time a heavy investor of the Dolly Var den mine, before it was taken over by the Taylor interests of Van couver. Quarterly Report of Granby Co. Shows Loss ... . L- ..

Advertise in the Herald The Juvenile Basketballers Divide Honors On Saturday, October 29th. the Pirates and the Muskrats met in a fast and very interesting basket ball game. Although the Pirates held the lead the greater part of the time, they could not withstand the persistent onslaught of the rodents, whose dark horse, D. McDonald, suddenly opened up with a series of long, loping shots, which finally spelled victory for his side. The final score was 18-14 in favor of the Muskrats. Pirates: T. Scott-4, R. Dresser, D. O'Neill-6, G. Kent, L. Murdoch-4. Musk- rats: J. Dodsworth-6, D. Mc- Donald-8, J. Varnes, B. Parsons, B. Kent-4, B. Lindsay. The game on Saturday, November 5th. was different, the Muskrats being made to walk the plank by the pirates. The boys were a little off their game, lacking their usual livliness and speed. T. Scott and L. Murdoch were the high scorers for the Pirates, and D. McDonald for the Water-boys. The final score was 13-7 in favor of the marauders. Muskrats: J. Dodsworth-2, D. McDonald-3, B. Lindsay, J. Varnes, B. Parsons, B. Kent. Pirates: T. Scott-7, D. O'Neill-2, L. Murdoch 4, R. Dresser, G. Kent.
