Dominion Day Sports at Anyox Dominion Day Celebration at Anyox, was the biggest and best ever held in the history of the camp. Prince Rupert sent up Baseball, Tennis and Billiard teams, also a Speed Boat and a rather clever Boxer. Anyox won the baseball game by the score of II to 6, the billiard match they also won by 963 points to 903, and Anyox also won the tennis match. The Speed Boat Race did not matera- lize, and the boxing match went to Prince Rupert. Owing to a congestion of last minute copy this week-end, we are unable to give a complete report of the sports, but will do so in our next issue, and also a list of all the prize winners. 4 ■■■ 4 *" 4 '*' 41*14+4*,4*,4'*'4**'4***4**4?*i * ALICE ARM NOTES +♦*♦•+'••♦••• ♦•••♦•••♦'•'♦'•'♦'•, ♦*♦•♦••"♦■*•*+*•* Baseball Game at Hyder, July 4th. The Anyox Baseball team left Anyox. on Sunday morning for Hyder, Alaska, on the Awake, to take part in the July.4th. celebration. They played two games with the Hyder team, winning both. The score of the morning game was 7 to 3, and the afternoon game 16 to 0. Ferguson and Dra- udson both pitched great ball, aiid they were strongly supported by the balance of the team, whose smart fielding won the admiration of the large crowd who witnessed the games. In the evening the people of Hyder, entertained the Anyox visitors to a banquet, which was greatly appreciated by the boys. : \ The Anyox line-up was P. Ferguson & Draudson , 0. Thomas 1st. Base.

Brown in his little private swimming hole, please give him one, to allay his anxiety as to the pose he was assuming when the picture was taken. Being the model, he thinks he is entitled to one. ' The Awake left Anyox on Sun day morning, for Hyder, with the Anyox ball team, and arrived back at Alice Arm on Tuesday morning, in time to make her regular run to Anyox. Mr. W. B. Leavens, a member of the executive of the Alice Arm Holdings Co., who is operating the Bellevue Mine on the Illiance River arrived in town on Thursday. Mr. L. N. McAuley, is leaving the staff of the Royal Bank, on Monday. He will go to Vauder- hoof to do two weeks relief work, and from there to Prince George, where he will be on the staff of the Royal Bank. - The Prince Rupert ball team left Alice Arm with the impression ihat things were pretty tough here, as there was only one man in the town who was able to put up enough money to pay their expenses amounting to $32.00. Mr' W. B._ Bower, who was accountant at the Granby Co. store at Anyox, arrived from Vancouver, on Thursday, Capt. Gerhardi of the Homestake Mine, left on Thursday, for Vanf, couver. ', Mr. Harry Mann, of the General Store, Anyox, was a visitor in town for a few days^this week, and was, busy renewing acquaintances. J. Anderson, accountant for the; Taylor Mining Co., left on Thurs-. day, for Vanqouver. - Mr. E. R. Oatman, arrived in town on Thursday, and will be on the staff of the Royal Bank. See Al. Falconer for Freight and Pack Horses. Archie McPhail and Paddy Morley arrived in town, from the Last Chance, on Wednesday. The property is looking fjrst-olass. Work has been commenced on a 200 ft. tunnel, and it is their intention of completing it as quickly as possible. Mr. Gus. Anderson and Hans Peterson, arrived in town last Saturday, from the Velvet Group, which is situate on Trout Creek, above the Wolf Mine. Mr. W. Small, who was the round-house foreman for the Taylor Mining Co. last year, arrived in town on Thursday. He will hold a similar position this year. Mr. Ole Pearson, one of the original stakers of the Dolly Varden Mine, arrived at Alice Arm, on Thursday, accompanied by Miss A. L. Larson and Mrs. O. A. Johnson. Mr. Pearson left for Sweden in November, 1914, and was engaged in deep sea diving, owing to too great a water pressure he suffered S stroke of paralysis. He is now able to walk with the aid of a stick and hopes to completely recover. He was welcomed by many of his old friends, who knew him years ago. His brother Gus who is also well-known here, is married in Sweden, and is now serving his time in the army. Ole expects to leave for home sometime this year. A friend of the Alice Arm' merchants called upon them recently, to demonstrate his friendship, and perhaps to replenish the family larder when he arrived home in Anyox. He bought an assortment of groceries and green stuff, which he packed in his handbag. In making his last' call he purchased some eggs and olives, the bag being nearly full, he had considerable difficulty in getting them in; but you can't beat a good man, The trick was did, and upon arriving home, he showed his friends one of the finest Alice Arm Salads produced to date. THE MAN AROUND TOWN Rich Strike of Ore At Anyox Bill Hanna is reported to have struck a lead, of first-class copper jore, containing quartzite and chal- copyrite, on his claims joining the Hidden Creek Mine at" Anyox. The lead is 90 feet wide and has been stripped for a considerable distance. It is considered one of the most important strikes in the district. The 1st. of July has come and gone again, and we are "about ready to settle down to normal again. The weather man , was fairly, good to us, although it was rather cold for the time of year. Taking the day's sports all together,. Anyox came up on top by a big margin. They won at Base. ball, the boat race was theirs, and they also held up their end at tennis and billiards. Joe Farrell, of Rupert, though, gave Gibson something to remember for a while. Gibson was knocked out in the third round. He was outclassed at all stages of the game. The Indian Band played good music. They have a smart appearance, and their music was enjoyed by the crowd. We would have liked to have seen the Alice Arm and Prince Rupert people, allowed the grounds free of charge. Surely, after the way Alice Arm receives visitors from Anyox on any occasion, the least we could do would be to return the compliment. That is the proper community spirit, and. as such should not be neglected. .The dance put on at the hall in the evening was a great success; although at supper time, while some of the dancers got 3 or 4 doughnuts, there were others that got none at all. ' If anyone had wandered into the grocery department on June 30th. theys would have seen a good imitation of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. It was just grand whilst the fruit and vegetables lasted. Probably some people will wake up to the fact that even those behind t/he counter are only human after all, and while they are servants of the public, yet they are entitled to a little courtesy at times. Dempseywon the fight on the 2nd. At least, he must have done so, because whilst not yet broken, we are sadly bent; but others have profited by our bad guessing. Even Jack Dillon has got his smile back again. "Otiija" says Jack spelled Dempsey on the board. Talking of spirits there were some kindred one's came up from Rupert. They even made some of the Anyox boys talk. There were others that played remarkable remarkable billiards afterwards. Why cannot we have the spirits with us always, without having to buy a permit. Someone is always taking the joy out of life. as Wf Anyox all star baseball team, went to Hyder on Sunday morning. Jimmie Ferguson captained the team. They played two games on the 4th. Both were in favor of Anyox. Scores wer 7 to 3 and 16 to 0. The boys had a good time, played good ball, ane were home again early on Tuesday morning in time for work. Pete said that was how the Elk's were going to play the mine the next game. Jimmie says that it cannot be done. We wonder why those two don't try and get along any better. Someone suggested Soothing Syrup, and then again someone whispered "Johnny Walker," but what's the use. As a real good comfortable mother for looking after the boys and keeping them in the narrow path, why, Harry Fowler the good old pilot of the '"Awake" is a jewel. If the girls of Alice Arm don't hurry up and grab Harry, someone in Anyox is going to get a rare prize. The Elk's held their first meeting in their new home last Monday. The boys turned out in good numbers, and two jiew members were added to the roll. They are having a picnic at Silver City on Sunday next, and are looking forward to seeing the friends from Alice Arm there. We are holding no particular brief for the Editor of the Alice Arm and Anyox Herald; but from the tone of his previous editions, we feel confident that he is on the right road to a sound common sense paper for the people of this district, and it is up' to us, one and all to try and back him up in his undertaking, by subscribing ourselves, and also by telling others of the merits of this, THEIR PAPER. Pete Draudson was way off in ini his guessing about the Elk's team. They started out fine on Wednesday night and grabbed a couple of runs in short order, but after that they failed miserably, the mine gathering in five runs as their score. The umpiring ' was good, especially from those who had no business to umpire. But then, some people don't know any better and must be excused. Government Road Work to be Resumed Work on the Illiance River trail is to be resumed at an early date, and some work will also be done on the Kitsault River trails. The Homestake Mining Co. is finishing the trail to the Kitsault Glacier, to enable them to freight in supplies and machinery.

The Indians expect a better run of fish about the 17th, of this month. Over 300 fisherman are on the Naas River this summer, and all the canneries are operating with the exception of the Kumeon Cannery. Miss Parsons and Miss Anderson of Alice Ann', were the guests of Mrs. W. E, Walker, of Arrandale Cannery, last week. At the sports held at Kincoloth, on July 2nd, Miss Parsons of Alice Arm, won the open race for ladies. Mrs. J, Ml McMillan held an "at home" on Tuesday afternoon, anong those present, were Mrs. Donaldson, Mrs. Erskine, Mrs. Mathieson, of Naas Harbour, Mrs! Walker, of Arrandale, Miss Parsons, and Miss Anderson. Miss Collinson, of Kincoloth, entertained all the ladies of the canneries, at her home, on Saturday A rich strike of high grade ore has been made on the Marmont River, Portland Canal, by George Mehlfekl, of Seattle, who last winter purchased the interest of P. E. Reese. Samples brought down have assayed 460 ounces in silver, and $4.00 in gold. Singular Experience with a Bear. Mr. Henry Carney, of; Alice Arm, had a rather unusual experience with a bear, a few days ago, close to his ranch by the Illiance River. He stopped work a few minutes to pick'some salmon berries, and spied an exceptionally fine one on lit branch about three feet away,, he was just in the act of pulling in that limb, when someone started to pull it from the other side. "What are you doing" says Henry, and "woof" says Mr.. Black Bear, in a surprised voioe, and before Henry could recover from his surprise, that bear was beating it for the tall timber as fast as he could go. Greenville Brass Band At Anyox, July 1st. I The Greenville Concert Band, ably conducted by Fred McKay, was a feature of the 1st. July celebration at Anyox They played at several points during the entire day, and gave evident pleasure to a large number of people. An excellent rendition of Zampa" was given in the Ball Park in the evening. The band left expressing great satisfaction with the way they had been received. Have you Subscribed to The Herald.?

A person would go a long way to find another hotel that is' kept up as well as the Alice Arm Hotel, especially in a mining town, where it is an exception rather than a rule to keep a clean, wholesome house. A road has also been made connecting with the new wharf road, to the front of the Hotel, allowing teams to go up with freight and baggage. The Hotel has one of the finest and prettiest views on the coast. Situated on the hillside above the town, it com. mands a splendid view of the bay the town of Alice Arm, and the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance.

IT COST $47,000 To Put Out YOUR Fires in 1920 THEY DESTROYED $150,000 Of Property Last Year Be Sure your Fire is Out Mr. Geo. Clothier's Report for 1920 Mr. George A, Clothier, resident mining engineer of this district, reports last year's activities as follows. The district is composed of eight mining divisions—Bella Coola, Skeena, Queen Charlotte, Naas River, Alice Arm, Portland Canal, Stikine. Atlin and Laird—and includes all the coast, islands and north-western portion cf the province north of the head of Vancouver Island. Th| Portland Canal Division has .been increased by a portion of the Naas River Division. This year has been in this district without doubt, a most progressive one for the mining industry. Prospectors are realizing the fact that the district affords < unusual advantages for them in every way, and the increase this year in their numbers has been apparent. The number of field engineers in the district throughout the year is evidence that the larger mining companies are alive to the possibilities of this portion of the province. A greatly increased amount of development work has been done by the owners of claims, the small mining operators, and the large companies, with an encouraging percentage of favorable results. The "broker mining operator" has had, with few exceptions, very little encouragement, the investing public wisely preferring to back up the property that has been investigated and reported upon by a reputable mining .engineer, and whose development will be under the supervision of a competent mining man. > Further exploration of the properties that have come into prominence in the last year or two has been very gratifying, and the installation of plants is under way that will ensure their permanency as producers. The following is an estimate of the output for 1920: Atlin, Stikine and Laird placers produced 6,300 ozs. of gold. Granby Co. at Anyox produced 818,534 tons, yielding 9,160 ozs. gold, 439,238 ozs. silver and 25,304, 400 lbs. copper. Golskiesh Mines, Anyox, produced 3,550 tons, yielding 585 ozs. gold, and 1,625 ozs. silver. Dolly Varden Mine, Alice Arm, produced 8,700 tons, yielding 870, 000 ozs. silver, Esperanza Group, Alice Arm, produced 18 tons, yielding 4 ozs. gold and 3,788 ozs. silver. . Premier Mine Stewart, produced 850 tons, yielding 2,701 ozs. gold and 92,173 ozs. silver. Patterson Group, Porcher Island, produced 17 tons, yielding 50 ozs. gold and 30 ozs. silver. Ikeda Mines, Ikeda Bay, produced 141 tons, yielding 26 ozs. gold, 290 ozs. silver and 21,088 lbs. copper. .'•,' Drum Lummon Mines, Hartley Bay, produced 32 tons, yielding 31 ozs. gold, 540 ozs. silver and 39,600 lbs. copper. Surf Inlet Mine, Surf Inlet, produced about 100,000 tons, yielding 50,000 ozs. gold, 30,000 ozs. silver and 800,000 lbs. copper. The above returns are for the full year, with the exception of the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co., Ltd. and the Taylor Mining Company, whose outputs for December are estimated, but which will be very close to the final figures. Unfortunately, I have been unable to get returns from the Belmont Surf Inlet Mines, Ltd., in time for this report, but they may be considered as equaling last year. The tonnage mined has increased by nearly. 200,000 tons, due to the Granby and Dolly Varden Mines. Though Granby's gold production has nearly doubled, yet the shortage in placer gold hold the total about the same as 1919. Silver has increased over 500,000 ozs., due to the splendid output of the Dolly Varden mines and the notable increase of nearly 100,000 ozs. from Anyox. Copper production is greater by about 5,750,000 lbs., due to the Granby Company, the aggregate of the small shippers being about the same as last year.
