Hockey League Games Proving Great Attraction The three teams comprising the Alice Arm Hookey League have now settled down to business and some interesting games have been played during the week. Tho Wildcats are at present in the lead but their position is precarious as both the Bears and Tigers mean to pull them from their proud position. Since the first game last Friday all three teams have shown a marked improvement in their play, and from now on the fans will be treated to some fine exhibitions of the national game. A large number of fans have attended each game, and the number is increasing as the schedule progresses. The game on Monday evening between the Wildcats and Tigers, was an exhibition of dazzling play by the Wildcats. Their superior combination play,, coupled with the brilliant work of Warner in goal won the game for them. The - Tigers fully lived up to their name, but as this was their first appearance on the ice they failed to take advantage --of- all openings; The score was Wildcats 10, Tigers 5. The teams were: Wildcats, Warner, goal; Gus Anderson; H. Butler, H. Mann, J. Morrison. Tigers: P. Williamson, goal; T. W. Falconer, Geo. Young, M Smith, Dick Roberts. On Wednesday evening the Tigers and the Bears, tore into eaoh other for three hectic periods. The Tigers were the first to score, and placed the disk in the net three times in the first period. The Bears followed suit in the second period, making the score 3- 3. In the third period the Tigers found the net three times and the Bears once. The score being Tigers 6, to 4. The teams were: Tigers, P. Williamson, goal; T. W. Falconer, G. Young, M. Smith. J. Hanna, E. Moss relieving J, Hanna iu the last two periods. Bears: A. D. Yorke, goal: Al. Falconer, J. Wilson. R. F. McGinnis, W. Wells, Bert Kergin relieving Wells in the last two periods. The Wildcats and the Bears again made the fur fly on each other yesterday evening. In the most desperately fought game of the season the Bears emerged victorious with a score of 4-3. CARD OF THANKS Mr. and Mrs. E. Moss desire to express their gratitude to all those who helped salvage their personal effects during the recent fire; also to those who rendered invaluable assistance during the following few days and to those, who by presents of clothing helped them out of a difficult position. See Al. Falconer for Wood, Coal and Lumber. Fire Destroys House and Goods At Alice Arm A somewhat serious fire, and one that might have ended iu a tragedy, occurred, last Saturday, when the home of the editor caught fire, burning part of the household effects, and totally destroying the house, which was owned by Mr. James Nick. The cause of the fire was caused by a lighted candle, which was left burning by mistake upstairs, and it is thought that something fell from the back of the dresser on which the candle was standing. Mr. aud Mrs. Moss with their eldest daughter were skating on the rink, almost opposite and in full view of the house, whioh stands high on the hillside. About 45 minutes after they had left the house, Mr. J. Strombeek noticed a red glare through the window, and raised the alarm, which quickly spread to the rink. The two youngest daughters of the family, aged 5 and 3, were asleep upstairs, and great apprehension prevailed regarding then- safety. Mr. Strombeok was the first to reach the contlagation, aud was relieved to see the two tots standing on' the stairway. The eldest had awakened, she then awoke her sister and together they went downstairs. The fire had already taken a strong hold, and as there was not any water available it was impossible to endeavour to save the building. Luckily a large number of persons were at the Skating Rink, aud these arrived quickly on the scene, aud the work of removing the household goods was undertaken. Access could not be gained upstairs on account of the dense smoke, and all efforts were concentrated downstairs, from which a portion of the goods were removed. Fire drove the rescuers back, however,, before everything could be saved. All the clothing of the family was destroyed except what they happened to be wearing at the time. They spent the three successive nights at the home of Mr. and Mrs, H. F. Kergin, until new quarters could be obtained, No insurance was carried either on the building or household goods. Toric May Commence Shipping Ore Mr. A. 0. H. Gerhardi, general manager for the Homestake Mining Co. who returned yesterday from Vanoouver, states that it is probable that ore shipments from the Toric will commence this month. Average assays taken from samples from whioh native silver had been exoluded gave returns of over 45 ounces silver per ton. He also stated that two new gasoline speeders had been purchased for use on the Dolly Varden Railway next summer,. Regarding the outlook at the mine he could not say anything until he had made an inspection. In reply to a question regarding future plans he said it was a little early to make any statements. a a1 Am_ A.a. Aiai A'a'A'a'^'a1^1^1 A,■ i a _■! A i^i^*e*^ ALICE ARM NOTES • ■ Hand Laundry Work.

Company Is Formed In Victoria To Develop Alice Arm Mining Properties Information has been received from Victoria by the Herald, that a company has been formed in that city for the purpose of \developing mining properties in the upper Kitsault country. This company is known as the Kitsault River Mining and Development Co. Ltd, of Alice Arm B. C. The capitalization of the com pany is $1,000,000, divided into one million shares at $1.00 each. The company has been formed by Mr. Elmer Ness, who left here several weeks ago, for the purpose of developing the Fox-Matilda and Bine Ribbon group of claims. These properties are situated near the Kitsault river glacier, approximately eight miles north of the Dolly Varden railway terminus, and is connected by a good pack trail from\the end of the railway. \ The rock formation is what is locally known as the Dolly Varden formation. The ore showings are extremely encouraging, as there are three large veins or mineralized zones running through the property, and are known as the Homestake, Fox, and Silver Tip veins. These are cut by a number of cross veins or fractures, showing a heavy mineralized lead-silver ore, also copper and chalcopyrite. The different claims that have been grouped, are owned by Messrs. Oscar Flint, John Fiva, and Elmer Ness of Alice Arm, and I*Arthur Smith of Seattle. In order to give every encouragement to capital they have decided to re- linguish all cash payments, and will take full payment for their property in stock in the company. This means that the company will be placed in a very favorable condition, as they will not be called upon to make heavy cash payments to the owners, as is generally the case. It is also proved that the owners have every faith in the property and are willing to take an even chance with the shareholders. With such a big burden removed from the shoulders of the company it has a great advantage, as it means that all money will be spent on the ground, and the shareholders will get a dollars worth of work for every dollar subscribed. Mr. Elmer Ness, who has organized the company, and is now in Victoria, is a practical mining man. He has followed mining for over twenty years and knows a promising prospect when he sees one. He is a firm believer in spending the money on the ground, and under his management success will undoubtedly be attained, and the rich ore deposits of the Kitsault glacier will become creators of wealth. The property is situated in what is considered one of the best Anyox Elks Hold Their Annual Christmas Tree Local Lodge No, 47 of the B. P. O. Elks gave the kiddies a nice send-off into the New Year last Friday evening, At 6 o,clock a banquet was held in the Dug-out at the Elks, Home, and after all had enjoyed the good eats,' the remainder of the programme was finished upstairs in the Hall, Rev. Gibson, Vic Cruikshank, and Mel Gow entertained the kiddies for awhile aud helped them to start the various games. Musical Chairs being a popular number, with Mrs. Herrin presiding at the piano. During the entertainment Santa Claus made his appearance distributing nuts and candies etc. iu abundance. One of the best numbers on the programme was the Misses Francis and Florence Kelly in a very pretty dance, Mrs. Herrin accompanying on the piano. TI.e evening ended with a very enioyable dance from 8 to 10, the Elks' orchestra furnishing the music. The kiddies all voted that it was a whale of a good time with nothing left out, it not being forgotten to have transportation for the children from the Mine. The committee in charge consisted of Chas. MacLachlan, James Wier, Hurry Kirk, Ed. Ashton, and Mrs. Morton, Mrs. Waterman, Mrs. MacLachlan, Mrs. Weir, and Mrs. Robertson. Jimmie Thomson very capably took the part of Santa Claus. Anyox Basketball Smelter Win From Mine Basketball was resumed on Monday evening, at the Mine Gymnasium. Two games were played, a Senior League fixture and an exhibition game staged by the ladies. The. Smelter were the victors in the senior tussle, the Mine quintette being the victims. The game was fairly close with the Smelter having a little- the better of the going throughout. The score was 38 to 28. Bob Stewart made his initial appearance of the season and turned in a nice performance for the losers. By virtue of their win the Smelter climbed to the leadership of the League, being two points above the Coke Plant and Mine teams. The Bluebirds were the best finishers in their game with the Mine, aud won, after trailing until a few minutes of the finish. The score was 20 to 17. Immediately after play ceased, dancing was indulged iu by players and fans, aud continued until 12.30 p.m. mineralized zones in the Alice Arm district. . The whole country shows heavy mineralization and only awaits capital to develop its latent riches, as is proven by the sensationally strike of ore recently made on the Toric. ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD, Saturday, January 10. 1925 Outlook Bright For Lead, Zinc and Copper LEAD This metal is the leader of the procession in advancing prices. The current advance, which has been maintained steadily for a number of weeks, was not unexpected. It is not without an element of danger, as there is possibility of a runaway market if buyers get it into their heads that they will be faced with a worse shortage before long. This feeling, as before will cause them to flock into the market and stock up, then demand will slacken and down will go the price with consequent disruption all along the line. Big producers of the metal are hoping that things may straighten out without any great harm being done. ZINC This metal, long in the clumps, has been showing a healthy amount of activity, but so far has not exhibited the runaway tendency shown by lead. Foreign demand is pronounced and domestic consumption appears to hold well. COPPER The red metal situation has been decidedly on the mend, much to the relief of the copper boosters, who were beginning to feel that there would never again be a kick to it. While advance in price during recent weeks has uot been sen- j 8ational, it has been steady and sus tained, and does not seem likely to result in reaction. In summarizing the copper sit nation for the year, Carey of the Boston Commercial says: "Refinery exports of copper for all of 1924 should be excess of 1,000, 000,000 pounds. During the nine months ended September 30 last. exports exceeded 815,000,000 pounds, as compared with total refinery exports during all 1923 of but 844,000,000 pounds. The average in pre-war years was close to 800,000,000 pounds, so that in spite of unfa>'orablo conditions prevailing in Europe since the beginning of 1924 there has, nevertheless, been a substantial increase in the volume of foreign business done by American producing companies. It is pointed out that, if consumption of copper by Europe had proceeded at anything like the rate maintained in the United States, exports this year would have a huge total. There seems little doubt that 1925 coppor exports will be even greater than those of the current year, notwithstanding the fact that 1924 is a record year in this department.

E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. Good Times Ahead The outlook for the mining industry throughout British Columbia for the coming year is particularly bright. Copper has advanced in price to around the 15 cent mark, and is expected to maintain that price for some time. Lead and zinc are demanding prices that makes the mining of these metals extremely profitable, while silver is ranging from 67 to 70 cents per ounce. The four above mentioned metals are extensively produced in British Columbia, and the north coast district is exceptionally rich in these minerals. It is stated that money is plentiful for mining purposes, and the coming year should witness a great activity in mining throughout the north. Alice Arm and Anyox district will without doubt share in the increased prosperity. At the present time everything is in favor of considerable activity, aud the coming year will perhaps be the commencement of real honest mining in the Alice Arm district, from which there will be no turning back.

However, conservative interests do not favor a rapid advance on the grounds that such a move would create some opposition and a more cautious buying attitude on the part of consumers as well as to increase production which might result in larger available supply than could be easily handled. While there is now a large demand for copper metal it is also true that production capacity has broadened considerably in recent years, so that operations on a full scale might result in over-production weaken- of the market's technical position. For such reasons as this the best interests of copper industry will be served if the market is permitted to move upward only in response to the factor of supply and demand—Spokane Mining Truth.

BEAUDIN, Proprietor Premier Mine Has Paid $6,800,000 Out In Dividends The Premier Gold Mining Company, controlled by the Guggenheim interests, has declared an extra dividend of two cents on its common shares in addition to the regular quarterly dividend of eight cents. The total disbursement aggregates $500,000. With the payment of the third quarterly payment of the present year tlie famous mine has already paid a total of $6,800,000 in divi- dends since the first dividend was deolared in December 1921. As the company is capitalized at $5,000,000 tlie above figure represents total payments to shareholders amounting to 136 per cent, within a period of less than four years. In addition to this spectaoular dividend production, the mine has been to a large extent equipped and developed from its own earnings. Perusal of the pages of mining history discloses few silver mines that have achieved such a spectacular record, and few quartz mines of any character have paid a greater amount in dividends in an equal period of production. During the year 1923 the Premier mined a total of 145.655 dry tons of ore, from which was produced 117,293 ounces of gold, and 2,746,551 ounces of silver, according to the last annual report to stockholders. In addition, the stated amount of ore yielded 62,- 191 pounds of lead. Recent unauthenticated reports from the mine also indicated that a sixty-foot vein of $45 ore had been encountered on No 6 level, present working level during the course of diamond drilling operations. jus years-1923, 1920, 1919. Gold, lead and zinc production all touched new high levels for 1924. The value of the primary metals was $98,000,000, an advance of nearly $14,000,009 over the total for 1923.
