Will Again Develop Sunset The Keystone Mining Co. of Seattle, who had a bond on the Sunset property last fall, will again develop the property. Mr. H. J Bowyer, who will be in charge of operations, arrived in Alice Arm on Monday. He visited the property during the week and on his return stated that the company, was ready to go ahead with the developing of the property. Mr. Bowyer said that all indebtedness incurred by the company last year would be cleared up and a new start made. He said that it was the intention of the company to extend the tunnel commenced last fall, an additional 100 feet and then drive crossouts ou the ore. This work would have been done this year, but on account of the poor trail to the property, it has been decided to pospone it until next spring, when it is hoped the trail will be repaired and supplies got through. Some work will be done, however, this year, and a small crew of men left mi Thursday for this purpose. The work in hand will occupy about two weeks. Should favorable results attend the development work, a tramway will be constructed, which will be used for bringing in supplies and shipping of ore. The tramway will only need to be If miles in length to connect the property with tidewater. '■ H. J. Bowyer and C. C. Casey have been appointed by the com- upany to manage affairs, with the former in charge of all work on the property. Dr. Geo. T. Williams still holds the position of president; and H. M. Van Nuis retains the office of secretary-treasurer. Mr. Bowyer, who is a muoh travelled mining man, with headquarters in Seattle, is enthusiastic over the future prospects bf the property, and is confident that the Sunset will develop into' a steady shipper of ore. Asbestos Discovery at Alice Arm by J. Strombeek The Alice Arm district contains a larger variety of metallic ores than are found in most mining districts, and these ores are also in bigger quantities than is the case in most mining camps. The latest addition to the list of new minerals found in the dis- district is a non-metallic one, and is a discovery of asbestos found by J. Strombeek some time ago. .Specimens broken off from the rook have been brought down, and shows high grade asbestos free from impurities and a long fibre. Mr. Strombeok, who made the discovery about a year ago, at the head of Evindson Creek, kept it secret until he could more thoroughly prospect the ground. This he 1 has done, and has arrived at the conclusion that enough of the mineral is not in sight to make, the development of it a finanoial success. It is found in bunches, and the rough nature of the ground would make it too expensive to mine profitable. The find was made on the edge of a glaoier, a)nd it is probable that some time in the future, when the glaoier has disappeared that this asbestos will be mined.

Geo. G. Bushby and Hon. H. H. Stevens Address Electors The Conservatives brought their heavy artillery into aotion during the week when Hon. H. H.

Bushby, conservative candidate for Skeena riding also Spoke. Three meetings were held during Thursday, the first being at Alice Arm at 2,30 p.m., and two at Anyox in the evening, one at the Mine and the other at the Beach. The Alice Arm meeting was well attended, T. W. Falconer presiding. He introduced G. G. Bushby, who spoke at considerable' length, in which he said that under Mackenzie King government Canada was on the road to ruin. He stated that there were thousands of millions of dollars lying idle in Canada, that should be working, but excessive taxation prohibited it. In reviewing a curtailment of our expenditure he said that the United States had out their expenditures down 2 billion 500 million dollars per annum, and was of the, opinion that Canada should also cut her expenditures in proportion. In regard to exportation of our raw material to the United States, he said that our logs were being sent across to be manufactured into lumber, jour copper to he refined, and our wheat is sent there to be mixed with inferior grades, and sold by Americans in the markets of the world, being carried in American ships. He said that we exported $7,000,000 worth of asbestos in tho raw state last year, for manufacture in the United 'States. The coal imports from the United States also received-the attention of the speaker, who asserted that Canada imports $190,000,- 000 worth of coal each year from the United States for the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and said that instead of the Canadian National Railway hauling tourists they should haul this coal from Alberta and Maritime provinces, and keep the money in the country, Mr. Bushby stated that we are educating our boys and girls at a big expense and sending them to the United States, where they are absorbed, and lost to Canada. He said that previous to the enforce^ ment of the Fordney tariff, by the United States, Canada exported to that country $145,000,000 worth of cereals and farm produce, and in 1924 this had shrunk to $51,- 000,000, and claimed that if the United States found protection so profitable why did not Canada do likewise. He was in favor of a tariff high enough to protect our industries. He stated that he had been mis- Continued on page 4 1 T'*' *'^1 ▼'*' T1'' T'^1 T'^' T l'< T ,^< T '^- T '^' * '^•▼•^•^ ALICE ARM NOTES See Al. Falooner for Wood, Coal aud Lumber. C.

Anyox Hospital Ladies' Auxiliary The Anyox Hospital Ladies' Auxiliary hold an annual Hallo- w'een dance, which is one of the big affairs of the winter season. A lot of people attend, have a good time, and the Ladies' Auxiliary pass from the minds of most of them until the next dance comes around. One of main sources of revenue of the Auxiliary is derived from this annual dance, and in addition to having a good time, those attending are supporting one of the most worthy organizations in Anyox. The ladies of the Auxiliary do their work without ostentation, and the inmates of the Anyox Hospital, through . their efforts, derive benefits they would not otherwise obtain. The object of the Auxiliary is to provide extra comforts for the Hospital inmates. During the past year or two they have provided a reading lamp, vases for flowers, easy chair, and cushions for other chairs. The also subscribe to various magazines to provide reading material, and every Christmas' an entertainment is held, and a Christmas Tree provided so that those unfortunate enough to be sick in bed during this festive season, shall not miss the Christmas spirit. The Hallow'een dance this year will be on a par with former dances put on by the ladies of the Auxiliary, and it is hoped to establish a record attendance. Alice Arm Mining Prosperous Although Alice Arm is somewhat quiet, due to many who have completed their season's work on their mining properties, and left for nearby towns, where they hope to make another stake for next summer, it must be admitted that the future prospects of the town were never brighter from a mining standpoint, than they are at the present time. A lot of valuable development work has been done during the past season, and thanks to the exceptionally fine weather of the past few weeks considerable work is still being carried on. Not since the boom days of the Dolly Varden has such a large amount of development work been done. The principal property to receive development work is the Toric. Everyone is well aware of the possibilities of this wonder mine, and it is unquestionable but that this property will be developed on a large scale in the near future. The Matilda is also showing signs of developing into a big tonnage'producer, and the tunnel on the La Rose ;is- expected1 to' encounter high grade ore at any time. In addition to the abo*erheriti6ned properties, work hasj and :'is;- still being prosecuted on other "prop^ erties, the results of which" we should benefit from in the near future. It has been most gratifying during the past few months to witness the increased number of mining men who have visited the camp, and others are expected in before the season. This increase is a sure sign that Alice Arm is again coming to the front. A number of those visiting the camp represented influential mining companies of Canada, Great Britian, and United States. They all spent considerable time in the camp and gathered valuable data. We are now at a point where the camp either takes an immediate leap ahead, or stays quiet for a few more years. We are of the opinion that next summer will see the development of the camp on a scale larger than any year since 1920, but it is for everyone to push the good work along and leave no stone upturned in an effort to attract capital into the district. . -: New Trapping Rules Published ' A recent issue of the Gazette contains the regulations ;>\vhi'c;li' have been promulgated for-: tlie registration of trap lines 'through1 the province.

THE HERALD $2.50 a Year <■ Anyox and Alice Arm 91 ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Saturday. October 10, 1925 Rt. Hon. W. L. Maokenzie King Premier King Has Said "/ promise the West impartial justice and equal treatment" His famous Order-in-Council is concrete evidence that he means to carry out this policy. The Order reads: "The committee are of the opinion that the policy of equalization of freight rates should be recognized as being the only means of dealing equitably with all parts of Canada, and as a means of encouragement of industry and agriculture, and the development of export trade." Contrast this policy with the statement of Mr. Meighen, which his followers—the Conservative Candidates—will be compelled to support by reason of the pledges of the Conservative Candidates in the East. Meighen said: "There has been a measure of relief for the west by means of equalization of freight rates, which is utterly indefensible." There you have the policy as it will be applied to the West, of the two parties who now ask your endorsationr The policy of the Liberal Candidates is to populate the West. Population will come where it is profitable to lire. Open Canada's natural trade routes to the world's markets, for the tremendous natural resources of tbe West. Equalize freight rates westward, and you will have turned tbe key that unlocks the door to prosperity. A definite example of what these discriminating freight rates are costing the west—as they effect the fruit growers of British Columbia— is found in these figures: From Grimsby to Montreal, it is 390 miles, and the rate is 95c. per 100 pounds. From Vernon to Calgary it is 340 miles, and the rate is $2.40 per 100 pounds. The same discrimination is applicable to all lines of Western production. This is startlingly evident when you ascertain that in the six years previous to 1921, the West contributed $174,000,000 net profit to the Canadian Pacific—while the East, with its greater population, contributed but $81,500,000—less than half You must decide whether the man you send to Ottawa shall be controlled by the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the interests of the East; who, for narrow, selfish reasons are antagonistic to the West; or whether you will send a man to support a leader in the person of the Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, who believes he is serving the best interests of the whole Dominion by giving impartial justice and equal treatment to the west. Vote for Fred Stork, M. P. Liberal Candidate ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Saturday, October 10, 1925 Fred Stork Addresses Large Anyox Audiences Messrs. P. Stork, member of Skeena riding in the last parliament, and again liberal nominee for this district, and Geo. Casey, were introduced to the people of Anyox who assembled in the Recreation Hall on Friday last week, by Mr. R. Mansser who acted as chairman for the meeting. Mr. Manzer emphasized the fact that he was quite unprepared to act as chairman as he came to the meeting with the idea of being one of the audience, instead of that he had only been approached a a few minutes ago to act as chairman, before introducing the speakers of the evening. The chairman made a few remarks requesting those that were present, to give the speaker every attention possible, whatever your views or your own political ideas maybe on the subjects discussed. Mr. Geo. Casey was then oalled upon to address the audience, and spoke at considerable length. He was followed by Mr. Stork, who gave a very instructive and interesting address, and was listened to with rapt attention by a packed house. He spoke on both national and local topics. The address was along the lines of his Alice Arm address published in our last week's issue. An enthusiastic meeting was also held at the Mine Hall on Saturday evening. Japan Lumber Trade Is Improving The lumber export trade from Vancouver to Japan has been steadily increasing since the war, and official export figures covering logs, timber and lumber of all kinds show the following results for the last three years: 1922— 568,438,000 feet. 1923—741,821,- 000 feet. 1924-839,751,000 feet. Premier Mine Pays Another Dividend On October 3rd. the Premier paid its regular quarterly dividend of 8 cents a share on the 5,000,000 shares. This $400,000 dividend will bring the total distribution up to $8,340,625 paid since 1921. B. P. O.

Copper Furnace Blown In at Trail The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada will blow in the copper furnace to handle the copper concentrates of the Allenby Copper company, who are commencing regular shipments from their property on Copper mountain.- Not only will shipments coming in be put through treatment, but the immense stock of concentrates and rich ore on hand from the Consolidated company's property at Rossland will be treated. It has been many months since copper was produced here, but it is expeoted that from now on the well-equipped local plant will be kept busy by the Allenby Copper company with their shipments. From 25 to 40 tons will be produced daily, and should the shipments from Copper mountain warrant it, an additional quantity can be readily handled, as in past years as many as five furnaoes have been used. The refinery, where electrolytic copper is produced, is in readiness to receive the produce of the furnaoes. Skeleton of Man Found In Skeena River Two Indians enroute from Port Essington to Vanersdol in a canoe last week had the misfortune to have their canoe carried onto a log jam, where it was smashed to pieces. They barely escaped with their lives, and did lose their personal belongings. About four miles east of Salvus they landed on a sandbar in the middle of the river, where they found the complete skeleton of a man which had evidently been lodged there for at least a year. There was nothing in the vicinity that would lead to in'dentification, however, Upon their arrival in Terrace the Indians reported the details of their discovery to Constable Eggleshaw, who is now conducting an investigation.

Subscribe to Your Local Paper LUNCH counter cars which will care for the needs of passengers in the colonist, first class and tourist cars of the main line trains; if they desire to patronize them, are to be operated by the Canadian National Railways for the convenience of the travelling public, and particularly of immigrants arriving in Canada. As an experiment, lunch counter cars - have been placed in service between Winnipeg and Toronto. While these trains carry dining cars and while the Canadian National Railways also have lunch counters and restaurants at all divisional points, it is considered that the lunch counter car will be a great benefit to women travelling with children and to others who may be physically unfit or unable to leave the train at stations he- cause of severe weather, or for other reasons. The lunch counter has been fitted up at one end of a steel colonist car, where the best grade of tea and coffee freshly made will be served; Light meals comprising cereals, sandwiches, pies, preserve- fruits and other canned goods will be available at Canadian National standard lunch counter prices. A competent and courteous attendant will be in charge of each lunch counter and service may be secured at any time during the day. The suggestion of the lunch counter cars was made by Mr. Walter Pratt, .General Manager of Dining, Sleeping and Parlor Cars and of Hotels, who has been anxious to provide this facility to further improve travelling conditions and add to the comforts of passengers on the Canadian National Railways. ** GRANBY CONSOLIDATED MINING, SMELTING & POWER Co.

Mine Club Desire to Share Honors October 5th. 1025 The Editor, Alice Arm and Anyox Herald, Alice Ann, B. C. Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Mine Club held last evening, the writer was instructed to communicate with you anent a report appearing in your valuable and widely read paper last week, under the heading, "Community League will Provide Winter Entertainment'" Regret was expressed by members of th e Club concerning the following passages; "—the-Community League has successfully carried through an elaborate programme of baseball, football—This happy state of affairs is due entirely to the work of the Community League.—" It is not our wish to deprive the Community League of any credit which is rightly clue that organization, but to correct the impression that the sports programme was successfully carried through, due "entirely" to the work of the Anyox Community League. Towards the summers outdoor sports of the community, the Mine Club equipped, financed, managed and successfully fielded both football aud baseball teams at the cost of over $110.00. It will be appreciated that this was no mean undertaking when it is learned that our chief source o"f revenue is a monthly fee of 50c. each from a membership seldom exceeding one hundred and fifty. For the entertainment of the members of this community, the Aline Club also, is preparing, in addition to the usual social affairs, to finance and enter senior, intermediate and ladies' basketball teams into the Basketball League, Trusting you can find space to publish the above, and thanking you in anticipation, I am, Yours very trulv, J. A. MoMASTER Secretary-treasurer The Mine Club. Continued from page 1 quoted in the Smithers newspaper, in regard to the Prince Rupert grain elevator, and was of the opinion that tlie Progressive party should be credited with tho building of it. He said he had asked every Bulkley valley farmer he met while through there, whether any grain would'be shipped to the elevator during the next three years and they had all answered, No! Hon. H. H. Stevens was the next speaker. He proved to be a finished orator, with a head full of figures which he used profusely, and drove his arguments home with sledge hammer blows. He stated that while this was his first visit to this district he was acquainted with Port Simpson 25 years ago, when on a prospecting trip from Vancouver. He commenced by referring to the mining industry of the province and stated that he had recently visited the interior of the province, and saw one dead mining camp after another, and blamed this condition of affairs to the heavy taxation levied by the Federal and Provincial governments. He said taxation is stifling the mining industry throughout the province. He said that the people of this district were as directly interested in the prosperity of the manufacturing, industry of the east as were the shareholders in the companies, as the more prosperity for the manufacturer the bigger the demand for our metals. He touched on provincial affairs and said don't kid yourselves that you won't have to pay for all public works done by the government, because you do. He accused the provincial government of squandering public money in order to elect their candidates and cited various instances. Mr. Stevens said that' some Brms in Vancouver are paying 31 different kinds of taxes, and said its a load we can not carry much longer. In reviewing our natural resources he said that Canada possesses 85 per cent, of tlie world's nickel, all the cobalt, 85 per cent, of asbestos, and 51 per cent, of the coal; in addition to this we have 20,000,000. h.p. of hydro-electric energy lying close to civilization undeveloped. He said there is something wrong, and it is time we stopped mortgaging our estate. He accused the Laurier government of borrowing one-and-a-half Be sure the name Lcckie is on the Sole billion, dollars to build needless railwaj's, and said that that was the golden age, but there comes a time when we have to pay, and the time is now. The speaker went into details regarding our debt to the United States and said that last year we imported $128,- 000,000 worth of iron and steel from that country, when we should be manufacturing it in Canada. The Steel Trust, he said, sells their products cheaper in Canada than the United States in order, to stifle competition from Canadian manufacturers. He in stanced Great Britain as a country who had lost her one time lead in the production of iron and steel and laid the fault to the free trade policy in vogue in that country. He said that in 12 years Canada had dropped 50 per cent, in her iron and steel production. He accused the Mackenzie" government of not practising economy, of driving our population to the United States and said the Conservative policy was Canada first.
