Forest Fire Rages At Alice Arm All Week Fire Checked By Rain and Heroic Efforts of Willing Workers The worst forest fire the people of Alice Arm have ever experienced occurred during the early part of the week. The fire started about four miles down the inlet, near the old Molybdenum mining camp, on Sunday afternoon, and before it was brought under control it had covered an area of ov«r three square miles and destroyed one of the finest stands of timber in the district. Fanned by a strong wind on Sunday afternoon the fire spread with alarming rapidity, and it was soon evident that measures would promptly have to be taken in an endeavor to control it. Fire Ranger S. Briggs, acted speedily. In a short space of time he had a force of 80 men on the scene. Owing to the high winds carryiiig sparks high iirthe air and dropping them all over the country, coupled with the dense clouds of smoke, which drove the fire fighters back, the work of holding the fire on Sunday was extremely difficult. When the wind subsided in the evening, a better opportunity was given to uombat the blaze, and the army of half-cooked smoke-dried fire fighters worked like demons. Throughout Sunday uight the fire burned furiously, and for a length of two miles along the shore, the woods were a sea of flame, and as the giants of the woods came crashing down millions of sparks made an awe inspiring scene, and the onlookers realized the destructive power of a forest fire when raging at its height. On Monday, the high wind of the previous day had died down, and the fire fighters, led by Fire- Ranger Briggs, were given a chance to combat the blaze. Wide swaths were cut through the woods, and the fire stopped from spreading. Early on Tuesday morning the hottest spell of the year was broken by a heavy rain, whioh continued until the following day, and all datiger of the fire spreading was over. Chief Fire Ranger Grittan arrived ou Tuesday morning from Prince Rupert, and took charge. He was determined to extinguish the til*, and on Wednesday a force of forty men were working in the woods. This force was augmented throughout the week. Yesterday a small army, comprising nearly every able-bodied man in town, were called to the scene of eon- flagation. A large number of business men were among those who left yesterday. It is the intention of Fire Ranger Grittan to continue to fight the fire until all danger of spreading is past. Death of Well Known Anyox Resident The death occurred on Friday August 8, at the Anyox Hospital, of Mr. Fred Woolston. The cause of death was Bright's Disease. He had been siok for some time. Deceased was a resident of Anyox for a number of years, and his many friends were shocked to hear of his death. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and young son, his father aud mother and brother residing in Victoria. Funeral Services were held at the Anglican Church, on Thursday Rev. J. B. Gibson officiating A large number of friends were present, and following the ceremony the remains were forwarded to Victoria for burial. The heart-felt sympathy of the community, is extended to Mrs. Woolston and son in their sad bereavement. Gasoline Explosion On Alice Arm Launch The danger of exposing a light in the vicinity of gasoline was vividly illustrated during the week when the launch "Billy Mao" blew up and caught fire with three men on hoard. The launch was on the ways, and a leak in the gasoline tank was being repaired by Messrs. Roy McKinley, owner, Sam Wickwire and William Cody. As they descended below the explosion occurred. W. Cody was blown off the boat, and R. McKinley and S. Wickwire were thrown into the engine room. Cody received slight burns on hands and face, and was the only one injured. The boat caught fire, but the hull was saved, and the engine is undamaged. Mr. R. McKinley will immediately Undertake repairs. Alice Arm Logging Co. Ships Nine Million Feet The big tug boat Cape Scott arrived in port during the week, and took out logs totalling approximately 2.000,000 feet b. m. from the oamp of the Abbotsford Logging Co. This makes a total of 9,000,000 feet shipped by the Abbotsford Co. to Ocean Falls this year. 4 f i«. 4 m 4 m f m ^ '■'♦■"♦"♦ s* ♦'•■♦'■'♦«'♦ '"j ANYOX NOTES TO LET: One room with two beds, and one room with single bed with or without board—Apply Miss B, Crawford, Box 33, Alice Arm.

Toric Property Bonded Development Work To Start Immediately In our last issue we stated that the Homestake Mining Co. were taking over the Toric property. During the week, agreements were signed, and the property will be developed by the Homestake Mining Co. The bonding price of the property is $100,000. No cash payment has been made. The first payment is due one year from the signing of the agreement, and the final payment the following year. The Homestake Co. will drive 45 feet of tunnel per month during the first year, making a total of 540 feet. The tunnel will be commenced near the railway grade, and is expected to strike the ore ledge at a distance of 300 feet from the portal. A compressor plant will be installed, capable of operating one drill. Camp buildings are now under construction, and the prop erty will be operated throughout the coming winter. It is also the intention of the Homestake Co. to continue development of the Homestake mine at the Kitsault Glacier, which property they have operated intermittently for the past few years. The Toric property is considered to be one of the most promising properties in the whole of Alioe Arm District. The property contains several good ore ledges, and high grade ore carrying over 9000 ozs. silver per ton has been found. Samples taken across 22 inches on the No. 2 ore ledge have given returns of 103 ozs. silver per ton. Another sample taken across 3 feet gave 107.4 ozs. per ton. The owners of the property are Messrs. J. Strombeek, G. Strombeek, and Al. Miner. It was located in 1914 and consists of four claims. It adjoins the North Star on the east, which joins the Dolly Varden.

The Forest Fire Despite the propaganda broadcasted by the Provincial and Federal governments, and the unceasing campaign that is being carried on by the press throughout the country, the burning of our forests goes on unabated. During the week the town of Alice Arm, and the valuable timber wealth surrounding it were both threatened with destruction from a fire that was started by careless campers. If the fire had not been checked by the heavy rain which fell when it was at its worst, the timber wealth surrround- ing the town would have been wiped out, and our living would have vanished, and possibly our homes. No one would leave a fire burning on the veranda of one of our leading stores, and cause possible damage running into thousands of dollars, yet the same people will unthinkingly leave a fire burning in the woods, which would probably cause the loss of timber worth millions of dollars. It should be realized that the timber in the district is drying out, and each year the danger of fire increases. We were lucky this time, but the next time, we may not be so fortunate. Granby Co. Produced 57 Per Cent, of Provincial Copper Last Year The Granby Company at Anyox produced about 57 per cent of the total production of copper in British Columbia last year, while the Britannia, on Howe Sound, is responsible for about 38 per cent of the total. The remainder of the output of the province is divided between Belmont Surf Inlet mine in the Skeena district, the Ross- and camp, Boundary-Yale division, and the Tidewater Copper Company on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The copper production in 1923 in British Columbia was 57,720,- 290 pounds, or about 25,000,000 pounds more than in 1922. Its total value was $8,323,266 as compared with |4,329,754 the previous year. Granby Co's June Copper Production The Granby Co. produced 3,100,000 pounds of copper during June of this year. Subscribe to the Herald Future Price of Silver Will Be Higher Experts agree that the price of silver will continue to rise. The pause is attributed to renewed Euro- peari demand for new coinage, now that a settlement has been made between the great nations. The average price of silver for the year 1920 was 100.9 cents an ounce, and for 1921 it was 62.85 cents, for 1922 it was 07.52, while for 1923 it was 64.87 sents. Big Canadian Railway Mileage Canada has one mile of railway to every 220 people, a larger mileage in proportion to population than any other country, with a total mileage of nearly 40000. The'government owns or controls a mileage of 22,600—the Canadian National Railways—making it the largest public owned system in the world.

Anyox Baseball and Football Continued from page 1. Three games of baseball have been played since we last went to press. The Mine und Smelter met twice, the result being one tie game and one win for the Smelter. The third game brought together the Elks and Smelter which turned out to be a win for the former. Smelter and Mine Tie In Thursday night's encounter, both teams used two chuckers. Fitzpatrick started for the Gas Eaters, but retired in favor of Wells in the fifth. Anderson made his debut on the mound foi* the miners and pitched excellent ball, but was forced th retire because of a sore arm. Darkness put an end to hostilities in the seventh with the score six all. Smelter Defeat Miners On Saturday evening, the Smelter took the miners into camp to the tune of seven to two. Cecil Ferguson had one bad inning—the third—when the Gas Eaters got to him for six bingles, which with two errors thrown in netted them six runs. Fitzpatrick was in good form for the winners, although the miners got to him for several nice hits he managed to keep them well scattered. Elks Win From Smelter 8-1 Cn Monday evening, the Antlered Herd retained the League leadership by administering a drubbing to the Gas Eaters. The score was eight to one. Benny Fitzpatrick started on the hill for the winners, but two runs in the first inning and four in the third was too much for Benny, so he was chased and Wells took up the burden. The "Bills" gathered two more counters off Wells in the seventh when Greenwell and Cody scored on Hall a two-base smash. Wells scored the Smelter's lone tally in the fourth, when he tripled to left centre and scored on Loeske's single. Close Race Made By Base* ball Teams The baseball race has been a' tight one this year, and there still remains a doubt as to which two teams will be in the play-off series. The Elks are assured of a place after Monday night's win. The Smelter will have to win one of their two remaining games in order to finish second in the League standing. By winning both they can tie the Elks for first place. The total amount of lead produo ed in 1923 was 96,663,152 lb., valued at $6,321,770. This represents, as compared with the previous year, an increase in quantity of 29,215,167 lb., and in value of $2,841,454. If a man fails to get what he really deserves he ought to be thankful.
