Mrs. J. L. Groves, sister to the bride, was matron of honor and chose a tailored chartreuse dress, with black shoes, gloves and hat. Her bouquet was of Autumn flowers. The groom was supported by his brother, Mr. George Ryan, and the ushers were Mr. Les. Hyams and Mr. Jack Golettly. After.the ceremony the guests were entertained in the basement of the church which was decorated for the occasion. Mrs. B. Thompson, sister of the bride and Mrs. J. Cloke received the guests. The bride's table was decorated in yellow and was centred with a handsome three-tier cake. Mrs. W. Barclay and Mrs. H. R. Patrick poured the tea and coffee, and the usual toasts were honored. The happy couple left on the Catala for a honeymoon trip to Vancouver and Seattle. They will reside at Anyox. Stuart Barclay Has Contract For Driving Tunnel At Stewart Stuart Barclay, a former resident of Anyox, and whose family still resides here, has taken a contract for the driving of 175 feet of tunnel on the Glacier Creek property at Stewart, situated between the Dunwell mine and mill. Good progress with the driving of the tunnel is being made by power drills. The results attained by the driv ing ot this tunnel will have consid erable bearing on the southern portion of the Dunwell property, as the tunnel now being driven is only 700 feet from their boundary. The vein to be cut is generally accepted as the southern extension of the main Dunwell vein. Dolly Varden Railway Will Be Repaired This Fall The Department of Publio Works has deoided to commence repair work on the Dolly Varden Railway at Alice Arm this fall. Work will start next week or not later than Ootober 1st. The sum of $3,000 has been appropriated and the railway will be made passable for gasoline speeders as far as possible this fall. The work undertaken will consist of cutting brush for as many miles as possible. In many sections the brush is very dense and is badly in need of cutting. Other work will consist of repairing washouts and bridges. Only looal men will be employed and wages paid will be $3.20 for an eight hour day. The money for this work has no doubt been drawn from the $1,000,- 000 loan recently received by the province from the Federal Government, the whole of which amount, will be itsed in repairing roads and bridges throughout the province. Mrs. W. Henderson Wins Ladies' Golf Championship The qualifying round of the Anyox Ladies' Handicap Golf Championship was played on September 12th. and 13th. Mrs. W.

Shower Given In Honor Of Miss Ballentine One of those happy events which precede most weddings and always prove popular was held in the Odd' fellows Hall, Anyox, on Wednesday September 12th. This was a mis> cellaneous shower in honour of Miss Gladys Ballentine, whose wedding took place onMonday last. This fortunate young lady, who numbers a great many friends throughout the district, was made the recipient of a large, number of handsome gifts. The happy affair later resolved itself into a social evening and dancing was indulged in by the many guests present. Mrs. F. Person arrived on Monday from the south. F. Dodsworth and N. E. Nelson Basketball Commissioners At the Annual meeting of the Anyox Basketball Association on Monday September 17th. Mr. N. E. Nelson was unanimously elected basketball commissioner from the Mine and Mr. F. Dodsworth was unanimously elected as the Beaoh representative. For the post of managing secretary Mr. Arthur (Slim) Yelland polled 22 out of a total of 29 votes and will aot with the commissioners in the managing of games this season. As far as can be ascertained indications point to a three team senior A league this year and a four team Senior B league. It is understood that the Mine will also enter one ladies' team. No representatives were present for the Beach ladies, but it is hoped that the Beach can field two ladies' teams. Some discussion took place in regard to the possibility of de-< termining a players' status, iu order to keep a balance of ability in the teams. As it was not deemed advisable that the commission arbitrarily move players around from one team to another, this one obstacle is still a bone of contention between the fans- The A. C. L. Benefit Fund for athletes was also reviewed at length the Fund will go into effect with the beginning of the hoop season. The commission desire those who will be managing or coaching teams, to enter tlieir teams at least a week before opening. Players will be required to be signed on at least 3 days before the first game, A meeting of managers and coaches has been tentatively set for next Monday September 24th. Champion Basketballer Comes . To Anyox Betty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eklof is a newcomer to Anyox and a welcome addition to the few jadies we have who are athletically inclined.

The roads, etc. of British Columbia have, in many cases during the past two or three years been sqgjewhat neglected and are in great need of repair work. In the Alice Arm section a good many thousands of dollars could be advantageously spent in again providing transportation to the mineral areas, and, judging from news recently received, this matter will be adjusted by the government. It is true that the development of the Alice Arm mining properties have not kept pace with many other districts during the past four years, but on the other hand there is no hope that extensive development work will be ever undertaken unless transportation is provided for mining companies. Says U. S. A. Will Re- Monetize Silver United States some of the purchasing power which was wiped out as a result of the cataclysm of 1929. The government is on the way toward remonetization of silver.

Present monthly consumption is 48,000 pounds. C. N. R. Revenue Shows Increase An increase of $710,679 in gross operating revenues for July, 1934, as compared with July, 1933, is shown in the monthly statement of operating revenues, operating ex- bune indicate that silver will ulti-< Ipenses and net revenue of the Can- Dunwell Mine Extends Its Operations The Stewart News Plans are well advanced to open up the Ben Ali vein on the Dunwell property, with a view to shipping to the smelter at Anyox, according to a statement made to the News today by R. M. Stewart, president. Replying to questions, Mr. Stewart said that this vein, which has an average width of three feet over considerable distance, averages half an ounce in gold, with a good silver content. Being a quartz gangue with heavy iron sulphides, this ore is ideal for fluxing, and therefore much desired by the Granby Co., the engineers of which made a thorough examination for this purpose some time ago, and allowed an appreciable tonnage. Bralorne Mill Will Enlarge To 500 Tons mately be re-valued at $2.18, which will re-establish the ancient ratio of 16 to 1 with gold. This is not inflation. It may properly be termed "reflation." It is equivalent to letting the air into a vacuum, which is not at all the same as pumping air into a balloon till it expands to the bursting point. The mining industry generally, the silver producers in particular, and the whole people as a matter of course, have reason for confidence in the program which President Roosevelt has worked out, and in the ultimate restoration of normal prosperity. Ontario Holds Position Of Golden Province Bralorne's mill at present is hand ling between 325 and 350 tons of ore daily, a rate of production that will have an important bearing on income this year. The rate will gradually be stepped up until the plant is treating about 500 tons daily. Remonetization of silver would be commonly accepted as the only sane solution of the monetary problem, were it not for the vicious propaganda of the international financial thieves who hope to continue profiting by the misery of millions.— North-west Mining. As the province of Ontario enters its golden autumn season, regarded by many as the most beautiful period of the year, the announcement is made that the production of the yellow metal from the gold mines of the province in the first six months of 1934 achieved a new high record of $36,626,316 in Canadian funds as against $27,487,135 in the corresponding period of the previous year. The quantity output of the yellow metal, however, was lower in 1934, totalling 1,040,222 fine ounces against 1,092,392 in the previous year. Reno Mine Steady Producer Although the mill at Reno Gold lost five days during August when the crew was called out for fire fighting the production total at $61,296 indicates continuance of satisfactory results in mine and mill. The total compares with $68,658 in July when the mill operated 28^ days and handled 2,815 tons. August tonnage amounted to 2,420, indicating an average of slightly over $25 per ton.
