Anyox Hallowe'en Dance On Monday Great Success Hall Beautifully Decorated Last Monday night was the occasion of one of the best dances ever held in Anyox, viz. the, Hospital Hallowe'en Dance. Tlie dance was held in the Recreation Hall and was easily the big success of the season. The deoora- tions had been carefully planned and very beautifully arranged. Moons, witches and cats predominated among the decorations emblematic of the season. The oommittees were*. Refreshment committee, Mrs. Cooper and Mr. James Thomson. Decoration committee: Mrs. F. M. Kelley. Music committee:. Mrs. W. F. Eve. Floor committee: Messrs. J. B. Gibson, R. H. Manzer, A. L. Ployart and T. P. Ryan. The committees were assisted by Miss R. Champion, Mesdames J. Conway, H. Selfe, W. Simpson, J. Cook, E. J. Swanson, J. B. Haffner, Coulter, R. Pedvin and B. Scott. The Ladies' Auxiliary are to be d congratulated upon their splendid suooc-88.. The dancing started at nine o'clock to musio from' the Elks' five-piece orchestra. Refreshments were served at 11.30 and shortly after 12 o'clock dancing was resumed until 2. From every point of view the dance was a success and the committees in charge should feel that their hard work had been justified. Harvest Thansksgiving Service at Christ Church The Annual Harvest Thanksgiving Services were held in Christ Church on Sunday last. The Church was beautifully decorated for the occasion with Evergreens, Flowers, Fruits, Plants and Vegetables, and the Services were bright and hearty. The Preacher was Rev. J. B. Gibson who based his remarks at the morning Service on Psalm 104 verse 28 "That Thou givest them, they gather," for the evening he selected as his text, St. Luke 8 verse 5. "A sower went out to sow his seed." There was also a Children's Service in the afternoon which was largely attended. The soloist at the Evening Service was Mr. J. Mitchell. Mr. Frank Dresser presided at the organ. The ladies who so kindly gave their services to decorate the Church, were: Mesdames H. B. Henderson, Macknight, Cameron, Selfe, Jago and Stevens. Capt. and Mrs. Cameron and .Miss R. 0. Stewart generously donated the plants and flowers. The thermometer this morning registered seventeen degrees of frost. Skating Rink May Be Ready Next Week Flooding Commenced Last Night Alice Arm Will Again Have Hockey Team The cold snap experienced during the week has turned the thoughts of the Alice Arm skating enthusiasts towards the skating rink. Repair work is now being carried on at the rink. Supporting posts are being placed on the west side, to'ensure thereof against collapse from heavy snowfalls. The dressing room has been repaired and other necessary work has been done. The coming season promises to be a very successful one. Alice Arm will again have a hockey team, ready to battle against all comers. Stewart has promised to send a hockey team during the winter, and it is possible that the ladies of Stewart will send a team at the same time. It is expected that Anyox will be able to place a team on the ice this season. If such is the case a tournament will be played, when the Stewart team visits here. Owing to a big drop in the temperature last night it was decided to start flooding the rink. A good start has been made and if a little energy is now shown, skating will be in full swing in a few days, and another record will be broken for early skating. Platinum Ore Ledge On Rex Traced Long Distance Mr. Archie McPhail arrived in town last week-end from the upper Kitsault country, where he has spent the past five months working on his mining properties and prospecting. In speaking of the Rex property, on which a strike of platinum ore was made last fall, he says that the ore ledge has been traced for a distance of nearly four claim lengths. It runs in a northwesterly direction from a point close to the Dolly Varden Railway towards the Dolly Hill. It has an average width of 4j to 5 feet. He has also done considerable work on the Last Chance property, consisting chiefly of open cuts across the ore ledges. Several ore samples from the workings have been sent out for assaying. The* property is now looking good, and only awaits capital to develop it more thoroughly. Busy Bees Elect Officers The Busy Bees of Christ Church elected the following officers at their meeting held on Friday last. Superintendent, Miss C. Owen; President, Vera Eve; Vice-President, Marjory Cloke; Secretary, Kathleen Eve; Treasurer, Faith Cameron.

This Home is still admitting men for training, drawn from among the 30,850 who were discharged from the Army with defective vision. The blindness of these men was caused by the War, but has only recently become serious. Over 2000 blinded men have been taught that in' spite of their grevious handicap the world has still something to offer. It is only with the aid of kindly sympathisers that our war-blinded men can be efficiently cared for. Mine Club Busy In Athletic and Social AHairs On Hill The Mine Club now have their Club room back again, and plan to make things interesting in a social and athletic way this season. They will move their radio apparatus from the Mine Hall to the Club room, as the Hall is used for a Gymnasium and by moving the radio, the athletics and radio fans will both be able to amuse themselves at the same time. The Club is supporting three basketball teams this season, senior, intermediate aud a girl's team. They have sent out for new uniforms for each team, the uniforms to be made up in the Club colors of black and orange. Mine supporters claim that their team will be snappy looking as well as snappy playing, and it looks as if the Mine teams are trying hard to win the Championship of each League. From all standpoints, basketball should be much more satisfactory this year than last year. Mine Club Have Outlined An Ambitious Programme Successful Card Party Held "Everyone needs a playtime" is the slogan of the Mine Club at Anyox this season, which opened with a big concert, which was quickly followed up with a dance. The attraction at the Club's headquarters on Thursday October 30th. was the first of a series of whist and bridge, contests, at which nine tables were engaged at the former, and five occupied by the bridge enthusiasts. Prizes were awarded in each contest, whilst the scores of all partaking in the games, were entered towards the grand total, to be tabulated at the end of a series of six evening's play, when a particularly acceptable prize is to be awarded for top scores. Those carrying off high honors on Thursday, were: Mrs. Jas. McKay, Mr. F. E. Patton, (bridge) and Mrs. Thomas Gilmour; Mr. Thomas Gilmour. (whist) Consolation gifts fell to Mrs. VV. J. Coulter, Miss Daisy Cavanagh, and to Messrs, C. A. Allan and H. Talbot. Following the cards, supper was served, and the evening wound off with a dance to the music from the Chili's own orchestra. The entertainment resulted in a happy evening, and an early repetition i-i looked forward to. Among other coining events the sport's commit tee are planning a smoker, and a play is in preparation for 'presentation early in the New Year.

Christ Church Scouts Hold Big Social The Anyox Troop of Boy Scouts held a Hallowe'en Social in Christ Church on Wednesday evening. Scoutmaster the Rev. J. B. Gibson being in charge. What might have proved a "shocking" time emanated from the fertile brain of Patrol Leader Arthur Teabo, but is was soon discovered that the "best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley," so that it did not prove so very shocking after all. Due consideration had not been given to the observant eyes of the scouts, and small pieces of copper wire with a couple of batteries attached to the other end, were diffident to conceal. A most enjoyable evening was spent iu games, etc. until the chefs made the welcome announcement that refreshments were ready, whem a fierce onslaught was made upon the good things provided by Assistant Patrol Leader, Tom Gray and Scout Stanley Sawrey. We feel sure that if Tom and Stanley's mothers only knew what excellent cooks they possess, they would sorely be tempted to keep them home from school on washdays. We can assure the readers of the Herald that Mrs. Bright aud Mrs. Sawrey are among the best candymakers in Anyox. We know, for we have sampled their work. Thank you Mrs. Bright and Mrs. Sawrey.

The Sports' Banquet of the Anyox Community League has now become an annual fixture. As a means of bringing everyone together it could not be excelled. In a small town such as Anyox it is good for everyone to be given an opportunity of mixing together, and spending an evening in each other's company, and the mixing arrangements at the Banquet are ideal. The officials of the Community League are to be congratulated on the splendid success of last week, and we hope they will have an opportunity to duplicate the event a good many times. Among the organizations in Anyox that should receive the whole-hearted support of every parent in Anyox is the Anyox- Parent-Teachers' Association. The organization is carrying on a very necessary work and should receive all possible support. The problem of guiding our coming citizens along the right path is becoming one of pressing problems of modern times. By joining this organization you have an opportunity of meeting the teachers of your children and taking part in any discussion that may come up for their welfare. While Alice Arm has not experienced any great mining boom during the past summer, some good work has been accomplished. This has been done chiefly by prospectors, in developing their own properties. Some fine ore showings have been developed, and every new ore body discovered adds that much more wealth to the district. It is somewhat disappointing that more mining companies have not entered the field, but they will come just as sure as night follows day.

This time he proposed to pro- speot "submarine" and the area he wants to explore commences at a post planted at low-water mark, 400 yards south of Siwash Rock on the foreshore of Stanley Park, thence 80 chains south, 30 degrees east, following the shore-line; thence 80 chains west, 30 degrees south; thence 80 chains east, 30 degrees north and then to plaoe of commencement, 640 acres more or less.

Hagp;en Copper mines in British Columbia oan now produce 100.000,000 pounds ol copper per annum when the market justifies it. Britannia reduced its output on account of the low price ruling, preferring to conserve its resources for better (times. Copper Mountain, at Princeton, controlled by Granby, is in a positiqn to start active operations as soon as the price makes it profitable. British Columbia has in Granby, Britannia and Copper Mountain the three largest copper mines in the British Empire. The prioe of copper during the past year has been the lowest experienced in twenty-seven years. An improvement is now evident, and it is probable that, with the European settlement, the metal will see a steady gain. France and Germany have always been the world's largest importers of copper.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable market, the copper production for the year is a record, the largest output hitherto reoorded being in 1916, when it reached 65,379,364 pounds. Lead and Zinc The price for lead ranges around 8 cents, whereas the average for thirty-six years was 4. 69. Lead is becoming one of the rarer industrial metals. The demand is enormous. Known sources of supply are becoming rapidly depleted, and prices are expected to go to the copper scale. The secret of the demand is for use in storage batteries for automobiles. The year's production is the record by over 50 per cent., and that production can be maintained. The Sullivan mine is the largest silver-lead-zinc mine in the world today, and accounts for nearly the whole output. British Columbia produces 95 per cent, of the entire lead output of Canada. Room For Expansion of Pulp and Paper Industry At the present time British Columbia only accounts foi* less than a tenth of th'e total amount invested in the pulp and paper industy of all Canada, Given a bigger market and stable and workable timber laws there is no ■ reason why this province, with its wonderful wealth of raw material and diversity of suitable locations for plants, should not roach its destiny as the greatest pulp and paper producer of the Dominion.

The party, composed of Cyril Wates, of Edmonton, Malcolm D. Geddes, of Calgary, and Val. E. Fynn, of St. Louis, made their first ascent of Barbican Peak on July 12, and finding the passage too difficult there decided to return and attempt the southeast side, which route had been unsuccessfully attempted in 1922 by Mr. Wates and Dr. Bulyea, of Edmonton. In that year Yates and Bulyea got within 800 feet of the summit when they were compelled to turn back. Two days later Wates, Geddes and Fynn left camp at 2.30 in the morning and climbed a steep snow gully and up rock chimneys and cracks, one of which led the climbers into the heart of the mountain, finally emerging like a tunnel on the north face with a drop of over 3,000 feet to the Tonquin Valley below. After reaching the altitude where they had been in 1922 the party traversed a narrow ledge encircling the south side of the mountain an.1 reached the* top at four o'clock in the afternoon. In doing so they faced a difficult and dangerous rock climb, having to overcome rotten rock and falling stones at many points. The party descended by moonlight, reaching their camp at 4.30 on the morning of July 15, exhausted but happy over their success. Other parties are attempting to climb Mount Geikie this summer, but the honor of first reaching the summit must go to Wates, who has just successfully completed his third attempt. Another party, headed by Dr. Thorrington, noted American climber, was attempting the ascent with guide Conrad Kain, when they saw the Wates party at the top and turned back.
