C, Saturday, January 8, 1927\n5 cents eaoli.\nh,\"\nMining Industry of Alice\nArm Will Expand\nDuring Year\nAlready plans are being made by\nowners of mineral claims in the\nAlioe Arm district for developing,\nand several group* will bedevejop-,\ned as far as the resources of the\nowners will allow. This year promises the execution of a much\nlarger programme of development\nwork than has yet been undertaken,\n\"ami mining claim owners are confident that this year will witness\nthe. commencement of work by\nmining companies that will ultimately develop several properties\ninto producing mines, in addition\nto those already producing.\nThe bonding of four groups of\nclaims last October by Victor\nSpencer and associates of Vancouver, occurred too late for any\nbeneficial effect, and it is expected\nthat the fact that these claims are\nbeing developed will awaken\ngreater interest iu the camp, and\n.that other compauies will acquire\nground, providing reasonable terms\n'are given, before the choicest\nolaims are taken up.\nViewing the future from an\n.impartial poir.t of view, prospects\n,or a big expansion was never\nbrighter in the history of the camp.\nIt is certain that Victor Spencer\nand associates will carry out a\nlarge programme of development\nwork on the four properties bonded,\nwith the possibility of also developing the Dolly Varden and Wolf,\nwhich they control.\nI Every mining company operating last year will also resume\nactivities on a larger scale. It is\nvery probable that plans will be\nmatured whereby the Esperanza\nwill again be operating. Lack of\nfunds has been the sole cause of the\ncessation of operations, and with a\nresumption it is understood that\nample funds will be available both\nfor mining and the construction of\n| ,a concentrating mill.\nZinc is a mineral for' which\nthere is an increasing demand,\nand the price maintains a level\nthat makes for profitable mining.\nWithin a few miles of Alice Arm,\non McGrath mountain large deposits of this ore exists, some of\n| which is extremely high grade.\nTlie north-east fork of the Kitsault\nriver district also contains large\nj deposits. These latter are at pro\ni sent being developed by the\nJ Kitsault-Eagle Silver Mines Ltd\n('who are meeting with unusual\nsuccess. It is expeoted that big\ninterests will also develop the\nMoGrath mountain deposits this\nyear. Th$. successful operation\nialone of these zones would be oap-\nableof maintaining a prosperous\nItown, and these zones are only a\nfraotion of the rich mineral region\ntributary to Alice Arm.\nMeanwhile work and more work\ns neoessary by mining property\n>wners. Mining companies, espeo-\nally the big ones, prefer tonnage\nn sight; and don't mind paying for\nMidnight Crowd of 450\nat Elks New Year\nDance\nOn New Year'sEve the Elks put\non one of the most successful dances\nof the year in the Gymnasium at\nthe Beach. The hall decoration\nwas one of the outstanding features\nwhich attracted the attention of\neveryone upon entering the hall.\nThe colors were purple and white,\nwhich draped the ceiling to the\nsides of the building in drooping\nribbons closely spaced together.\nAt the far end of the hall an electric illumination was displayed\nwishing everybody a Happy New\nYear. Those bent on spending the\nnight in the pleasure of the Torp-\nsichorean art began to arrive at\n9 p.m. and within an hour the hall\npresented a very happy appearance\nwith couples dancing to the music\nof the Mine Melodians Orchestra,\nwho certainly did justice to the\noccasion.\nBy 11.30 p.m, the dancers were\narmed with balouns, blow-outs,\nfans, oaps aud noses and miles of\nserpentine was floating around the\nfloor. As the hour approached\nmidnight, the dancers were found\nwelcoming the New Year by dancing and others shaking hands\nwishing each other the best of good\nwishes for the year 1927. At this\nhour there were over 450 present\niu the hall.\nA very tasty supper was put on\nin the Banquet Hall downstairs.\nThe Beach Cafe catered for this\naffair, and two sittings had to be\nAlice Arm Joyfully\nDances New Year\nIn and Old Out\nThe old year was danced out and\nthe new year was ushered in by a\nlarge light-hearted throng at the\nAlice Arm Hotel, who were the\nguests of Mr. aud Mrs. 0. Evindson.\nDancing commenced at 9 p.m.\nand shortly before midnight a\ncircle two-step was commenced, in\nwhich everyone joined, and the\nnew year was born, everyone wished everyone else a happy new year,\naccompanied by vigorous handshaking as they ciroled the floor.\n''Auld Lang Syne\" was also lustily\nsang\" with everyone holding hands.\nThe happy throng commenced\ndispersing for home in the small\nhours, after having spent a very\nenjoyable evening.\nThanks are due to Mr. and Mrs.\nEvindson who acted as hosts and\nprovided a very appetising supper.\nThe orchestra comprised Mrs. J.\nGraham, J. Trinder and C. Hutchinson, who were tireless in their\nefforts to provide the necessary\npunch. Although small in number,\nthey provided excellent music,\nwhich added largely to the evening's enjoyment.\n!\u00C2\u00BB.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0099\u00A6.\u00C2\u00BB.\u00C2\u00BB...\u00C2\u00BB... \u00C2\u00BB.\u00C2\u00BB.-\u00C2\u00BB\u00C2\u00AB.4 .\u00C2\u00AB!\u00C2\u00AB;.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00C2\u00AB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 4)\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00BB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0*.\nANYOX NOTES\nJ.

' It adjoins the Porter\nIdaho, which has been somewhat\nof a spectacular producer, although\nhandicapped by having to pay $50\na ton to get its ore to tidewater.\nAs reported a short time ago tire\nProsperity owners received $6,500\nfrom the Trail smelter for 30 tons\nof ore. It is freely admitted by the\nowners of the property, and must\nhave been recognized by the purchasers, that au amount of oVe\nworth more than the cash payment\nhas been exposed by development.\nThe Melvin group of five olaims\nowned by Mr. and Mrs. N. H.\nStevens,of Hyder, was optioned\nunder a holding agreement before\nthe present deal was made. This\noption is for $60,000, but the exact\nterms of the payments are not\nmade public.\nOwney McFadden of Stewart,\nGeorge Brown, St. Francis Hotel\nVancouver, and Eli Watland of\nStewart have also entered into the\nbig deal with a claim each, bonding\nfor $20,000.\nThis makes 15 olaims which the\nPremier organization has secured\nin the Marmot section.

MOSS, Editor and Publisher.\nNot only did Anyox and Alice\nArm enjoy a prosperous year\nthroughout 1926, but a perusal of\nnewspapers from every part of the\nprovince, received at the Herald\nOffice reveals that prosperity, was\nwidespread. The province as a\nwhole is marching hand in hand\nwith prosperity, and good progress\nis being made in every industry.\nThere is likelihood also of new\nindustries being added during the\npresent year, and given world peace\nand good business-like government\nstill more rapid progress will be\nmade as the years chase each\nother along. The wildwest hectic\nbooms of a few years ago seems to\nhave permanently passed away.\nThe present state of prosperity is\nbuilt of sounder materials that will\nendure for all time. Every industry\nor the province is shown to be in a\nhealthy state. Lumbering, agriculture, paper making, fishing, and\nmining are responsible for our big\nexports and large payrolls, and on\nthese hinges the prosperity of the\nwhole population. In order that\nthe output of these industries be\nincreased, capital is necessary, especially in regard to mining, which\nrequires large capital for development purposes. The mining industry is the key to increased prosperity. As new mines are opened\nup, concentrators, and smelters\nbuilt, a market is created for both\nlabor and material. Every other\nindustry reaps benefits from an\nincreased home market. The\nmining industry is gaining strength\neach year. But it should increase\neven more than at present. What\nmining means to the province is not\nyet understood by those living outside of mining towns. The larger\nour mineral output the more money\nis put in circulation, which percolates through the pockets of everyone.\nPrince Rupert on Map\nAs Grain Port'\nPrince Rupert is now well on\nthe map as a grain shipping port.\nEight ocean going vessels have\ntaken on full cargoes of grain since\nOctober 17 when the first ship\narrived. This means that two\nmillion bushels or more of grain\nhave passed through the port in\nthat time. The average so far has\nnot been quite a boat a week but\nthis will probably be improved\nduring the months of January and\nFebruary. By the end of the grain\nshipping season it is estimated\nthatsome thirty or forty boats will\nhave loaded.\nThe harbour of New Westminster is growing. Last year 180\ndeep-sea vessels entered that port,\nin comparison with 150 the pre\nvious year.\n\"This may hurt yon a little,\"\nsaid the absent-minded dentist as\nhe handed the patron a bill.\nOntario May Become\nCopper Producer\nGreat interest continues to be\nshown in the copper possibilitis of\nthe region in northern Ontario\nlying west of the Quebec boundary.\nHalf a dozen townships have been\nthoroughly prospected. Hundreds\nof claims have been staked and\nmany interesting discoveries made\nThe southern half of Ben Nevis\nTownship has been pretty solidly\nstaked. The southeast part of\nClifford has all been taken np, and\niu Pontiac, Tannihill, Dokis and\nMarriott active staking has been\ndone. Good mineralization has\nbeen shown on a number of claims\nin Ben Nevis.
