Football Dance Was a Tremendous Success One of the Biggest Crowds of Season The summersohedule of football games in AnyoK is now well under way. The first game being played on Tuesday of last week before a record crowd of fans. During the | game, the Anyox Band under the leadership of J. J. Varnes kept the spectators in good spirits with soma excellent selections. Following the commencement of the summer schedule a football dance was held in the Gymnasium on Friday night for the purpose of raising sufficient funds to defray | expenses of equipment. The money having already been advanced by the Community League. It was one of the biggest and best dances of the season and all those who attended proclaimed it as one of the best ever. The receipts were very gratifying and showed a balance of $200.70. This success was largely due to the small expense entailed, am- ountly to only $14.30. Nearly everything being supplied gratis. G. Crow of the Smelter office ! staff was the master of ceremonies, and The Syncopated Six supplied the musio, in their usual highly efficient manner, and which was given gratis.

Commencing next week, the Awake will leave Alice Arm at 9 a.m. on Thursday and leave Anyox at 3 p.m. the same day, arriving with mail at Alice Arm at 5 p.m. Keystone Mining Co. Have Extensive Programme A pi'ogramme of active development for this year has been outlined by the Keystone Mining Co. on the Sunset property • near Roundy Creek, states Mr. O. Gray, who returned on Monday from Seattle. The first work to be undertaken will consist of improving the present trail from tide water, so that' the necessary machinery can be taken in. A number of men will be put to work immediately on the trail. It is the intention of the company to drive a new tunnel lower down the hill from the present workings It will be made large ' enough for use as a hauling tunnel. A compressor plant, consisting of a Petters-Youvill engine 28-B. H. P. will be installed. It will be capable of operating two drills, which will be N. 72's. The opening of the Keystone Co. makes the sixth property being worked in the district, and it is expected that several others will shortly follow suit now that the snow is fast receding on the mountains. Samples of ore taken from the property a short time ago for assaying purposes have given encouraging results, aud gave an average value of $60.00 per ton. The values being obtained as follows: gold. |2.00; silver, $20.00; and lead, $38.00. The ore also carries zino, which will add considerably to these values. These values are exceptionally good, in view of the fact that it is all practically surface rook. The property is ideally located in regard to transportation, being only l£ miles from tidewater. It has an elevation of 2500 feet. The installation of an aerial tram would solve all transportation problems and the company would be able to load their ore on board ship at a ridiculous low figure compared with other companies operating inland. More Logs Leaving Alice Arm for South The log carrying barge Drumrook owned by Johnson & Waltham, arrived in Alice Arm Thursday night, and is loading logs owned by Miles Donald. The logs are in the water about three miles down the inlet and comprise one and a quarter million feet b.m. The capacity of the Drumrock may not, however, be sufficient to stow all the logs. The logs will be taken to the Powell river plant. . The Drumrook was here a short time ago when she loaded logs from the booms of J. O. Trethewey. She is commanded by Capt. Martin.

Continued on page 4 Anyox Footballers Now Hitting Their Stride Smelter obtain Draw in their First Game The Smelter and the Mine were opponents in the second football game which took place Thursday evening last week. The best the Smelter could do on their debut was to get a draw, no goals being scored by either side. The play was mostly in midfield during the entire contest, neither goalie being tested more than on two or three occasions. The Smelter have trotted out a new goal lender in the person of Jack Hill. While he has not been severely tested as yet, he certainly handled himself well on the one or two chances he did have. The miners used identically the same line-up that put over a win on the Beach on Tuesday evening, while the Smelter have almost the same team as last year with the exception of one or t.wo additions mainly players from last year's Mine and Beach squads. J. Evans was the referee and handled the whistle in fine style. Teams were: Mine: Evans, Stultz, Victor, Jones, Waller, Hunter, Cane, Barnes, Hunter. Parker, Dearlove. Smelter: Kirkland, Stewart, Lavery, Peters, Matheson, Wilson, Powell, Buntain, Hunter, Pynn. Smelter Defeat Beach 40 The Smelter football eleven went into a tie for first place with the Mine team when they defeated the Beach four goals to nil on Tuesday evening. Buntain was the individual star for the winners, by performing the hat trick, notching three of the goals scored by his side. A penalty shot was given against the Beach by referee Robertson, when Hunter put his hands to the ball. Powell took the shot and gave goalie Hunter no chance to save. The Smelter seem to have a fairly evenly matched team aud with the addition of one or two players should develop into a hard combination to beat. The Beach need considerable strengthening before they will prove very dangerous to the opposing teams. Robertson was the referee giving entire satisfaction. Teams were: Beach: Hunter, W, Hunter, Pete Green, Pinkney, Carmichael, LawRon, Craggs, Mahoney, Ellison, Taylor, Dunn. Smelter: Hill, Pynn, Stewart Kirkland, Peters, Lavery, Hunter, Barclay, Buntain, Powell, Davis. H. Cane, manager of the Mine football team is yery enthusiastic over the performance of his team aud it is rumored that they are sure of taking the cup up to the hill this year. Mr. Cane has had considerable experience in football. He was at one time on the line-up of one of the leading teams in the south of England.

MOSS, Editor and Publisher. It is the belief of a number of those prominent in provincial mining circles, that the day of the picturesque toiling prospector is rapidly passing. Frequently one of these "leading lights" will arise and solemnly declare that the old time prospector is doomed. They tell us that the college bred geologist is ousting him from his favorite haunts, and that perfection of electrical devices for locating ore will clinch the nails in his coffin. These gentlemen have a perfect right to their convictions, but we do not believe their statements will ever be fulfilled. The last prospector will disappear in British Columbia about the same time that the last ton of ore is mined and it will be a long time before that tragic event is enacted. If it were possible to obtain a total of the amount of work done throughout the province by the prospectors plus the value of supplies and time expended and convert these into dollars, the total value of work would be far greater than the operating companies of the province would care to shoulder. The prospector is the greatest asset the mining companies possess. He builds the cabins to shelter mining engineers and geologists who follow him, and his work (executed often under extreme hardships) separates the good ground from the bad, as the culled apple is separated from the sound. The mining companies can not afford to see the prospector disappear, nor can the province. The fruits of his labor have added millions of dollars to the revenue of the province, and it is increasing each year. Down in Idaho and Washington the worth of the prospector is apparently appreciated much more than it is in B. C. if we are to judge by the utterances of some of our mining celebrities and the following articles. The foremost of which was written by P. A. O'Farrell, in Spokane Mining Truth, and the second an editorial published in the Pocatello Tribune. "Of all the pioneers, gold hunters and prospectors are the most interesting. They are often also greater benefactors to mankind than the millions who seek political and literary fame. "With a pick, a gun, a pony and a mule the prospector wends his way over desert wastes or blazes trails through dense forests. He pans the sands of the mountain stream, or picks at some tiny quartz fissures iu the granite hills. Often lie sleeps under the shade of a pine or a cedar on the mountain side, not far from the limit of perennial snow. "Sometimes he hunts for days or whips the streams for mountain trout, but soon he moves on, ever hoping that ere the sun sets he will crown his labors with some great discovery. But the far greater number spend a lifetime in the wilderness or in the defiles of the mountains and never find ought but blanks. They merely blaze the trail for others." ' Great men are those prospectors. The world owes them much. In the first place they are the world's greatest pioneers. They go into lonely places and remain there for years. When one prospect fails another is at hand. When one lead dwindles they calmly take after another. It is always so. This following the will o' the wisp would tire any but the prospector. No other race of men could staud it: could have the sustained courage. "As we looked into the face of this old prospector, we realized in small part what he had undergone, we thought what a debt Idaho owes to these men. It made us doubly glad that Idaho mining was coming into its own, that the fruits of this prospecting was about to be gathered. "Idaho is entering upon a mining era greater than it has ever known. It owes it all to the inter- pid prospectors who went into the out of the way places and spent lonesome years in finding the ores. Idaho should erect a monument to their memory so that all the world might know what they had done, and especially that our own children coming on should know something of the men who blazed the way and went out in the world to find wealth for us."

'May' 22, -1926 George Wingfield Again Engaged in Mining George Wingfield, "richest man iu Nevada," and who ia interested iii the Dolly Varden Mine, has returned to active mining operations. Through the reorganized Booth Mining company, which he controls he will develop four mining properties in the Quartz Mountain district. i: Mr. Wingfield, since the earliest days; of the Goldfield camp, has been identified with every important mining situation in southern Nevada. It was his genius in partnership with the late United States Senator George F. Nixon that completed the organization of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines I company, which in the following nine years, distributed close on to $30,000,000 to its stockholders. It is stated that his share was in excess of $8,000,000. In recent years he has been devoting himself almost exclusively, to his banking j interests, until today he controls 110 banks in the state with 65 per I cent of all the state's deposits. Mr. Wingfield ma.de a personal | visit to the properties, which had already been favorably reported on by E. A. Julian and A. H. Lawry, two of his engineers, Mr. Lawry being resident Goldfield manager of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines company. Announcement of the Winfield [plans was accompanied by a sudden i rise in reorganized Booth shares, whioh went from three to around 10 cents but later reacted. San Rafael also showed a deoided appre- | ciatiou, hitting 25 cents and react- j ing to 15.

The site of the concentrator for the construction of which Lloyd G White M. E., of the San Fran- cisco firm of Butch Hershey & White, arrived, last Sunday, will be adjacent to the main Bear river wagon road, about 200 yards north of jGlacier.iereek. This is now being surveyed and it is anticipated that clearing will commence in about three weeks. Supervising Foreman Alexander Scobie is expected to arrive from the south Monday for the purpose of supervising the construction, under the supervision of Mr. White. A change in the location of the upper train terminal has been decided upon. To a point just north of the portal of No. 4 tunnel. As soon as the survey for this has been completed by Daldy B. Morkill, who arrives from Vancouver Monday, clearing right of way will commence, and the towers located, which will probably be eight in number. It is expected by the management that the clearing will commence by the end of next week. D. C. Jackling Presented With Medal Daniel C. Jackling of San Francisco is the recipient of a gold medal from the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America for his work in developing low-grade mines. Thirty years ago Jackling had a hard time convincing friends at Republic, Wash., that he knew of a "mountain of low-grade copper in Utah, That mountain is now mined with steam shovels by the Utah Copper company and Jackling is a multimillionaire. A man was arrested and charged with assault and battery, and was brought before the magistrate. "What is your name?" asked the magistrate. "What is your occupation and what are you charged with?" "My name is Sparks," replied the defendant. "I am an electrician and I am charged with battery." "Well," said the magistrate to the court official, "take him to a dry cell.

Then and Now Thirty years ago, beer was five cents a glass and the lunch wus free. Eggs were three dozen for a quarter; milk was five cents a quart. The butcher gave liver to the cat and treated the kids to bologna. The hired girl was satisfied with $2 per week and did the washing. Women did not powder or paint, smoke, play poker, and skake the shimmy. The kerosene lamp and stereopticon in the parlor were luxuries. No one was operated on for appendicitis. Polks lived to a good old age just the same and walked miles to wish their friends a merry Christmas. Today, everybody rides in automobiles or airships, plays poker, shoots crap, plays the piano with their feet goes to the movies, smokes cigarettes and blames the H. C. L. cm the government. They never go to bed the same day they get up and think they are having a wonderful time. This is the age of suffragettes, prohibition, excess taxes and profiteers, —Exchange.
