C, Fbidat, October 17, 1924\n5'cents eaoh.\nScene Of Activity\nAt Logging Camps\nNear Illiance River\nDespite the somewhat depressed\ncondition of the lumber market,\nthe logging oamp of Eric Carlson,\nwho is operating near the Illiance\nriver, is still a scene of activity,\nand day by day the logs are coming out of the woods to swell the\nbooms in the water.\nMr. J- 0. Trethewey ia also\noperating a small camp composed\nof sixteen men, near the Illiance\nriver. He has built two dams, one\nof which is a marvel of ingenunity,\nin order to bring the logs to tidewater. The first dam, which is\nabout 350 feet in length has been\nbuilt to divert the river to an old\nchannel, and by some additional\nwork, water was brought down to\na spot where a number of logs\nWere piled at a spar tree. Lower\ndown a horse-shoe shaped dam has\nbeen built, in which is constructed\na gate, and when the water has\nbeen impounded the gate is opened and the logs complete their\njourney to the booms.\nSince the last tug boat was here\nfrom Ocean Falls, about two and\n* a half months ago, Erie Carlson\nha\u00C2\u00AB placed 5,000,000 feet of logs\nb. in. in the water. He is at present\noperating one yarder and loader,\nand has a crew of twenty-eight\nmen.\nHe will continue to operate until\nthe heavy snow makes profitable\nlogging impossible, and it is hoped\nthat these conditions will not\nobtain until Christmas.\nNow that the new government\nroad is completed, and hiking\nthrough the woods is a pleasure instead of a hardship, a visit to the\ncamp is well worth the time spent.\nAmong the attractions for the visitor is a place at the table in the\nDining Room if you happen to be\nthere when the gong rings, for the\nhospitality and the excellent dishes,\nof \"Mine Host\" the cook, is something not quickly forgotten.\nMine Club Gives\nFirst Dance of Season\nOn Monday night the Mine Club\ngave their first 9 to 2 dance of the\nseason. The dance was a great\nsuccess in every way and the new\nofficers and committee are to be\ncongratulated on the splendid success of the evening.\nThe dance ' committee introduced a novelty in the way of\nhaving every tioket numbered and\nthe party who possessed the luoky\nnumber won a prize of $5.00. This\nwas won by a lady, Mrs Dumond\nbeing the luoky person.\nRefreshments were served at\n12 o'clook after whioh the numerous couples continued to dance until 2 o'clook.\nMessrs. Armstrong, Jaok, Harris\nand Cameron furnished the music\nand were heartily enoored.\nElks Give Another Of\nTheir Popular Dances\nLast Friday evening was the\noccasion of a very enjoyable evening, it being that of a dance given\nby the Elks iu their own Hall.\nAlthough the evening was stormy\na good average of Anyox population braved the elements, and from\n9 o'clook until 2 the five-pieoe\norche'stra supplied the music of a\nsuperior order and contributed\ngreatly to the success of the evening. At 11.30 refreshments were\nserved in the Dugout and after a\nshort intermission dancing was\ncontinued until 2 o'clock.\nThe orchestra cousisted of Messrs.\nSteele, Stivenard, Austin, Waterman and Armstrong, their efforts\nbeing greatly applauded. Messrs.\nSt. Clair, Nickerson, Gow, Cruik-\nshank, Davis and Goerteen were\nin charge of the dance and Jimmie\nThompson capably superintended\nthe refreshments.\nAnyox P. T. A. Hold\nMonthly Meeting\nWeighty Questions Are\nDiscussed\nAnyox Waterfront\nNews\nRecently the Granby Co. have\nbeen receiving small shipments of\nhigh grade ore from mines east of\nPrinoe Rupert. The last shipment,\nabout thirty tons, arrived on the\nPrince John yesterday froniUsk.\nThe Granby Co. reoently loaded\nthe Louisiana with pyrites, destined for Barnet, and oottonwood logs\nfrom Alice Arm for New Westminster. She left in tow of the Amur.\nThere remains a boom of oottonwood logs in the harbor, whioh\nwill be shipped to New Westminster on the scow Griffiths.\nThe launch Azurite returned\nfrom Maple Bay, Wednesday night\nwith the pile driver and Chaqualla\nin tow. The Chaqualla will undergo a complete overhaul at Anyox,\nduring which time the Coulite will\ntake her place at Maple Bay.\nImprovements Being\nMade To Concentrator\nThe Granby Co. have about\ncompleted the new concentrator\ntailings launder, whioh will direct\nthe flow of tailings into Falls\nCreek beside No 2 power house.\nThis should prove a very satisfactory means of disposing of the\ntails which will be washed down\nand away by the force of the\nstream, instead of the present\nmethod whioh has proved costly\nand otherwise unsatisfactory.\nSlowly Recovering From\nStroke Of Paralysis\nFriends of Mr. J. T. Watson,\nwho, while working at the logging\ncamp of Erio Carlson, was seized\nby a stroke of paralysis some time\nago, will be pleased to hear that\nhe is progressing favorable at the\nAnyox Hospital. The dootors at\nthe hospital, however, expect that\na year will elapse before he will\nbe able to again follow his occupation as a logger.\nThe beuefit fund whioh was\nreoently oolleoted on his behalf\namounted to $295,00.\nThe regular monthly meeting of the\nAnyox Parent-Teacher Association,\nwas held in the new school, on Tuesday. Mrs. L. McAlister presiding.\nAfter the usual routine business was\ndisposed of, the President called on\nMr. H. M. Mann for a violin solo.\nThis was efficiently rendered and\nbrought forth a demand for an encore\nto which Mr. Mann responded. The\naccompaniment was played by Mr. H.\nSoutham.\nThe resolutions submitted by the\nProvincial Association for discussion\nand action were then considered.\nThe first: \"That our determination\nto create public opinion against war\nbe placed on record,\" was ably sponsored by Mr. Hutchinson, seconded\nby Miss McFarlane.\nMr. R. H. Manzer and Mr. H. D.\nSoutham supported the motion.\nIt was felt that as this was such an\nimportant subject, it would be better\nto leave further discussion over for\nanother month, so that opportunity\nfor further study, of the question\nmight be given, and some suggestions\nof a practical nature offered as to how\nthis could best be brought about,\nThe second resolution: \"That, we\nendorse the movement of the World\nEducational Congress held at San\nFrancisco, July 1023, to promote a\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Goodwill Day' to bo set for May 18th.\neach year,\" was introduced by Bev. J.\nHerdman. Those taking part in the\ndiscussion, being R. Armour, R. H.\nManzer, W. Robertson, J. Brown, E.\nJ. Conway, and Rev. J. B. Gibson.\nAll were agreed that the object of a\n\"Goodwill Day\" was a worthy one,\nwhereby a particular day is set apart\nfor special instruction on the principle of goodwill among men should be\ngiven in all our schools.\nIn view of the fact that May 21th. is\na recognized holiday, and a day for\nbringing before our children the responsibilities of the Empire, it was\nfelt that a more suitable day than\nMay 18th. might be found. One member suggested March 17th. or July\n12th.\u00E2\u0080\u0094he must have come from that\nlittlei isle of perennial strife\u00E2\u0080\u0094while\nanother suggested St. George's Day\nas most appropriate, but as these did\nnot find favor among the other members, it was decided to endorse the\nresolution as it stood.\nResolution No. 3: \"That the Provincial Government, through the Department of Education, make it compulsory for School Boards to establish\nTechnical aud Vocational Schools for\ngirls throughout B. 0., and further,\nthat everything possible be done\ntowards the establishment of a House\nEconomics Department in the University of B.O. ,\u00E2\u0080\u009E\nMoved by Mr. W. Robertson, seconded by Mr. H, D. Southam and\n.supported by Mrs. W. F. Eve and Mr.\nR. Armour.\nThe purpose of this was to make it\ncompulsory, instead of optional as at\npresent. That an opportunity be\ngiven all girls of B. ()., who under the\npresent system are denied the privilege of vocational training, and who,\nwere compelled through no fault of\ntheir own to forgo the advantages of\nhigher education, and who, through\nforce of circumstances had to accept\npositions of unelevating character.\nThis was carried unanimously.\nRefreshments were served by Mrs.\nScott and the meeting concluded by\nthe singing of the Nationol Anthem.\nOwing to lack of space the remaining portion of the meeting's report\nwill be published next week.\nALICE ARM NOTES\nHand Laundry Work.

We printed this news as it was given us,\nand refrained from the sensationalism\nthat is used by some newspapers.\nIt is a fact that gold has been\nfound, but whether large quantities\nof the yellow metal are hidden in\nGold Pan and the adjacent creeks,\nremains yet to be. proven. The\nfact that gold has been discovered\nwill alone produce a stampede in\ni ii* I\nthe spring. Here is an opportunity for the adventurous spirits\nwho roam the west, to test their\nstrength against the wilds. Here\nis a chance of making a fortune in\na few short months. A gamblers'\nchance, no doubt, but it is a chance\nwhich hundreds are willing to risk.\nNo man, however, should go into\nthe country unless he has arnple\nmeans at his disposal to take him\nthere and also for the return trip.\nIt is an expensive country in which\nto live, and ^vill be more so if a\nstampede results next spring.\nDevelop The Empire\nThe coming election in great\nBritain may have far reaching\nresults to .Canada. The chief\nissue of the campaign is whether\nthe British people should loan the\nRussians some millions of dollars.\nThe conservatives' battle cry is:\n\"spend the money to develop the\nBritish Empire,\" which seems to\nus to be a good argument. Great\nBritain would obtain far better\nresults by spending one hundred\nmillion dollars in the Empire than\nby loaning it to Russia, from whom\nshe cannot have any guarantee that\nthe money will be repaid. The\nsame amount of money spent in\nCanada would repay dividends for\ncountless generations. It would\nmake the Empire independent of a\nGood Dividends By\nSandon Property\nThe sum of $25,000 will be\ndistributed in Spokane, British\nColumbia and elsewhere on\nOctober 10 by the Silversmith\nmines in payment of a quarterly\ndividend declared by the board in\nthe Spokane office recently.\nThe forthcoming disbursement\nwill increase the total payments to\n1400,000. After a long discussion,\nthe board decided to hold the remainder of the earnings and increase the surplus.\nIn August the company shipped\n400 tons of crude and concentrated\nlead-silver ore and 500 tons of concentrated zinc ore from its mine at\nSandon, B.

Stoping is\nis being done at intervals on the\n1,100, 1,000, 800, 900, and 500 foot\nlevels of the new mine and on the\n1,000-foot level of the Slocan Star,\nthe older mine. The appearance of\nthe stopes is good, according to an\nofficial.\nWhat's your boy worth? Deep\ndown in your heart you feel that\nhe is that finest sample of boyhood\nin this big, round world.

Indications\nare that the vein is very wide, and\napart from the persistant clean ore,\ncarries a substantial body of good-\ngrade concentrating ore.\nBefore leaving Stewart Mr.\nTrites let a contract for 500 feet of\ncrosscut tunnel to tap the vein at\nsome 700 feet below the Apex, and\nin addition has put a crew of men\nto work to build a trail, camp and\nopen up another level that will\nfollow in on the ore body below\nthe water-fall, where the showing\nis most promising.\nThe property was first carefully\nexamined by Mr. A. St. Clair\nBrindle, Mining Engineer, of Vancouver, who brought Mr. Trites\nin from the city, and with him\nspent several days on the ground.\nLater, after returning from the\nproperty, Mr. Trites declared that\nit is the most promising prospect\nhe has seen in Northern B.
