Silver per ton That there are large quantities of high grade silver ore throughout the upper Kitsault valley was again amply proven this week, when Mr, D. A. McPhail received the assay returns from the Provincial Government Assay Office, of ore which had been sent from the Last Chance and the Independent. Samples of ore from the Last Chance assayed 1020 ozs. silver per ton a,ud $1.30 in gold. The sample was taken near the surface from a ledge over forty feet wide, and no special care was taken to select a good specimen. , Another sample taken at- a distance of 1500 feet from the location of the first sample gave 400 ozs. silver per ton, and it is presumed that those two samples are from the same ledge. The property is owned by ,D. A. McPhail and P. Morley. It joins the Moose on the east, and consists of six claims. A tunnel has been driven for a distance of 65 feet in order to strike this ledge at depth, a and ari additional 150 feet has yet f|© be driven, in order to out the ' }jj$dge. It is hoped by the owners flpat it will be possible to do this work during this year, and if such is done and ore encountered earry- . ing the high surface values a big mine will soon be in the making. The Last Chance lies on the east side of the Kitsault river, and on the same ridge are located: the Moose, Wolf, Toric, Silver Horde, etc. all of which have proven that they carry considerable bodies of silver ore, and in numerous instan- ' oes the values have run extremely high. The great handicap to. this section of the country is the non- operation of tlie Dolly Varden railway. If this road was operating steadily there undoubtedly would be considerable development work going on and shipments of ore would be made. The Moose was ready to ship ore1 -18 months ago if transportation, could have been provided, and other properties would also have made preparations for ore shipments'; Handcars wilt doubtless be again used this summer on the railway, unless the government decides to operate the1 railway for the, benefit Of the country, or unless some mining' company requires the use of the railway and rolling stook for the development of properties. Good Values On Independent Ore samples sent by Mr. D„ A. McPhail from the Independent Group, at the same time that the Last Chance samples were sent 'gave returns' of 49 ozs. of silver per ton, and the ore is 95 per cent silica. This property is situated on the hill direot west of the town at a distance of 1500 feet from the Dolly Varden railway track. The ledge from which the.ore was taken is five feet wide and the ore was taken from the bottom of a 14-ft shaft. In addition to the shaft a tunnel 285 feet has been driven to interseot the ledge, and an additional 40 or 50 feet remain to be drivenTJefore the ledge will be enoountered. A good trail leads to the property, and it is ideally boated for cheap shipping of ore. Subscribe to the Herald - H. F. Kergin Returns Home from the East Brings Home the Bacon Bridge for Kitsault River, also Float. Indian Reserve Question being negotiated Mr. H. P. Kergin who returned on Thursday from the east, having been called home to St. Catherines, Ontario on the death of his father. While in the east Mr. Kergin spent some time in Ottawa, and working in conjunction with the Federal member, Fred Stork, was able to transact considerable business pertaining to the welfare of this district. > In regard to the installation of a float at the government wharf, Mr. Kergin said that the estimates for a float at; a costof $1,000 will go in with the budget. He joined the Prince Rupert delegation at Ottawa and was present; when the Indian Beserve question was threshed out. The Provincial government is anxious to get the matter cleared up and it now rests with the Dominion government to settle the matter of Indian Reserves in this province. It is possible, however that another parley with the Indians maybe necessary. Another matter in which Mr. Kergin participated, was the granting of the 30 per cent, of the cost of the Stewart- Hyder wagon road by the Federal Government. This matter is now Anally settled. On his way, home, Mr. Kergin stopover at Victoria, and pointed out to .the government the necessity of bridging the Kitsault River this year. After considerable discussion on the part of the officials, he was assured that the' bridge would be built this year, and as soon as plans were drawn up the work would be proceeded with. The necessity of constructing a government building at Anyox this year was also pointed out by-the member, and he was assured that in all probability this work would be done. While in the east Mr. Kergin made a flying trip to New York. He states that the weather was extremely cold throughout the east this spring, and that he was real glad to be home again in old B.C. Social Evening by Anyox Mine Club The Mine Club held a very successful Smoker^ ou Monday, Aprfr 16th, the new hall being well crowded with enthusiastic supporters of athletics, many from the Beach being present. Mr. A. L. Ployart was a Chairman to the manner born. The prinoipal event on the programme was a three- round boxing event by G. Corokle and J. Ferguson, which was keenly contested from start to finish, Dick Stubbs was referee. The result was a draw. Other events were: three rounds by C. Greenwell and H. Down. Three rounds by D. Greenwell and A. Smith, and an exhibition by the juvenile Brown Bros. A very interesting wrestling bout, between Dick Stubbs and Al. LaFortune, two combatants who have been matched before. Stubbs was the winner, getting two straight falls. Vooal solos were rendered by E. Blundell and O. Wrennell, who is a visitor from Vancouver.- Mr. Liddel with his fiddle delighted the audience in ' his usual pleasing manner. An excellent supper was served, by Geo. Jessop, Farewell Party to Mr. and Mrs. W. Rashleigh The Club House was a scene of a pleasant little surprise party on(Monday evening last when the Ladies Aid of; the Anglican Church called on Mrs. Rashleigh, who is severing her connection with the Smelter town, to wish her Godspeed. Mesdames. B. C. Macknight, F. M. Kelley, O. M. Watson, G. A, Kribbs, W. F. Eve, H. Selfe, W. Hollinrake and G. Booth, formed the party. Severel musical selections were rendered during the evening and Mr. W. Rashleigh entertained the company with a dlightful rendering of "Osier Joe" which proved that Walter is ah elocutionist of no mean ability. When the needs of the inner man had been duly satisfied, Mrs. Macknight on behalf of the Ladies Aid, presented Mrs. Bashleigh with a set ot .table linen as a small token of the esteem in which she has been held by officers and members of the Aid. Mrs. Rashleigh has been a faithful and devoted lnpmber and one who will be sadly missed. She took an active interest in all the affairs connected with the Church and was always ready to give of her best for the success of every endeavour to further the cause of Christ in our midst. Our hearty good wishes accompany her. Mining Properties at Alice Arm to Work Plans are already, being made for the development of mining properties at Alice Arm. The Homestake Mining Co. intend to do considerable work on their property at the Kitsault Glacier this year. The No. 1 tunnel which was commenced in 1921 and which had just encountered ore when operations oeased, will be continued until the ore body is out through. Work will then be commenced on the' No. 2 tunnel, and this tunnel will be driven as far as possible. It is anticipated that about 300'feet of tunnel work will be done this year, aud it is possible that the work will be done by contract. The Alice Arm Holding Co. intend to drive about 40 feet of tunnel on the Bellevue, up the Illiance River, and if this work proves satisfactory additibnal work will be done on the property. As soon as the snow is off the ground, Mr. A. McGuire will commence development work on the War Dance property whioh is situated on the North-East Fork of the Kitsault Biver. Vancouver capital is interested in this property and considerable work will be done this year. 5. Ness of Alice Arm, Concert Given by Anyox Com.

Wells are doing development on the Cariboo Group at Lime creek, across the bay.. At present the work consists of surface stripping, and several new ore ledges have been uncouvered, which considerably enhances the value of the property. Numerous other properties will be developed by their owners, and with good reason to expect that several properties will be bonded this year by mining companies the owners of mining properties are full of optimism for the future. League to receive all the monies so collected. All players using the courts to be members of the Community League. The lower court would be available three mornings and two afternoons each week for school children under sixteen without charge. Everyone willing to pay the fee set out, will be eligible to use the courts and enter the ladder games. In connection with the suggestion to have Mr. Ellis sign up all newcomers as members of the League, Mr. Ellis has been interviewed and stated that this had been attempted before and had produced no beneficial results, but pointed out that if cards were printed outlining the objects of the League and some of the things which the League had done he would see that they were presented to all men signing on the pay-roll. In this we get to know that such an institution existed. The Finance Committee had met and made adjustments in the League pay-roll, Mr. Selfe now getting, $185.00, while the janitor of the Recreation Hall got a $5.00 advance The matter of accepting coupons had been gone into and advised against, the reason being that this should be discouraged as it might Continued on page 2.

Progressives and Others - In all communities, both large and small, there are always a number of the more progressive citizens who organize associations. Some of these organizations are created to foster the growth of the town or city by advertising its advantages to the men with money to invest, and when necessary, to bring pressure to bear on the government to foster the industries of the town by providing proper transportation facilities, etc. Other organizations are formed in order to provide amusement and recreation for the people. The men and women who give their time and labor freely and willingly are always numbered among the more progressive members of the community, and. those who hold back, ready to reap the harvest sown by the other fellow are those who always criticize if plans miscarry. Any person who is not a member of some organization working for the welfare of the town is a doubtful asset to the community, and he should avoid criticizing' those who are doing their best to further the interests of the community. Kitsault River Bridge Up to the time of writing no word has been received from the Minister of Public Works that the Kitsault River bridge will be built this year. Reports are being constantly issued by the Public Works Department that the newer sections of the province will receive the special attention of the Department this year. If the other new sections do not receive more consideration than Alice Arm, then all this talk is bunk. The excuse may soon be forthcoming that the water is too high in the river, and then the construction of a bridge will be shelved for another year, and so we go, on and on, and on—- Motiey for Mining This is going to be the year that money will pour into British Columbia for the development of mineral properties, and if any property owners are anxious to dispose of their property it isi up to them to rustle. Anyox Community League Meeting Increase in the tax on fuel oil is again being sought by British Columbia coal interests. Hon. Wm. Sloan, minister of mines, has given out' figures showing that foreign fuel oil is displacing coal of the extent of 1,000, 000 tons per annum, with a loss in revenue to the government of $100,000 yearly to say nothing of the loss to the producing companies. tend to encourage the possessors of coupons to spend more money than they need to. The question of how the ball grounds should be handled in the best interests of all manner of sport during 1923 would soon have to be discussed with the organizations formed to govern the different leagues and because of this the Council was asked to give the League Executive power to make the necessary arrangements when the meeting was called. The Chairman of departments then made reports. Mr. Seidelman told of arrangements for a meeting to be held for the purpose of organizing an International League, He suggested that the ball uniforms that were to be used by the Smelter Team should receive some attention and be made ready for the/opening of the season. Mr. Simpson spoke on the football' situation and asked that football sweaters be given the samp treatment as the baseball uniform. Mrs. Dwyer, bead of the Home and Sohool Department, asked that the children's playgrounds be put in the best possible shape and that the seats be made ready for the Mine Road and possibly place one in front of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, where it would undoubtedly be very popular. A letter from the British Columbia Electric, Ltd., was read, stating that the two fare boxes wanted had been forwarded and if these proved acceptable, the price would be $10.00 each' :or $20.00 for the two. The purchase of these boxes was authorized after inspection by the Counoil. A letter from the Vancouver Daily Province was read. This was a request from the editorial department of the Vancouver paper for a write-up on the Community League suggesting that it might be illustrated with pictures of Council, etc. On a motion by Mr. Callanan seconded by Mrs. Dwyer, the5 Council decided that the matter be left with the Secretary. Two communications were read from the Mine Club, one asking for the information as to1 who\would operate the Mine tennis courts for the coming season, the other asking for a date on Which the Mine Pool Room accounts could be checked up. Not being familiar to the hew Council, the Secretary read the proposal to the Mine Club made by the former Council, aiid which had been .accepted by the Mine Club. The Counoil left .the matter in the hands of the Secretary to further.

Victoria April 17th.—Colonization plans of the government are rapidly taking shape and ..with the return to Viotoria shortly of Hon. T. D; Pattullo, minister of lands, it is hoped to be ready to commence settling new citizens on some of the vacant Islands of British Columbia. His visit to Ottawa and other eastern cities has undoubtedly awakened interest in colonization afresh. The minister stated in Montreal that Canada could absorb several hundred thousand new people every year indefinitely and British Columbia stands a good chance of securing a fair share of this new blood. Agricultural lauds suitable for all forms of farming are waiting for development and it is only a matter < of getting the settler on the land. Hon. W. H Sutherland,.minister of public works, announces that early in May he will tour the province for the purpose of inspecting provincial roads and ascertain What highway work should be carried out this year. He states it is his intention to provide the newer sections with as much highway accomodation as provincial finance will permit. • *+♦♦»♦+♦♦♦♦♦ ♦«■♦♦ ♦ ♦>$'♦ ♦♦.♦-♦•♦.♦.♦♦♦♦♦,♦■♦■♦♦£'*♦•'>++•+♦♦♦♦■♦♦♦♦ ♦«> ALICE ARM FREIGHTING Co.
