C, Friday, August 5, 1927\n5 oents each,\nBig Ore Strike Made\non Sunrise Property\nMcGrath Mn.\nThat the McGrath mountain section of the Alice Arm district contains unusually large surface showings of lead-zinc ore is now well\nknown. Each year this fact is emphasized by the discovery of some\nnew showing.\nThis year's prospecting is no exception to the general rule for Morris R. Bernsichke who is interested\nin this section located a showing on\nthe Sunrise group that ranks among\nthe largest. He has put in 100 feet\nof open cuts in proving it up.\nThe discovery was made on the\nSilver Bent Fraction. It has been\ntraced for 1500 feet on the surface\nand four crosscuts driven across it.\nThe ore body is from 16 to 4 feet\nwide and has a north and south\nstrike.\nA offshoot of ore from this body\nhaving a south-easterly strike is 10\nfeet wide at the intersection, at 100\nfeet distant 9 feet wide and at an\nadditional 175 feet is 4 feet wide.\nAn average sample has assayed 22\nper cent zinc and 2 per cent lead.\nAnother vein, which parallels\nthe first mentioned, has been traced\nfor six claim lengths. It has been\nopen cut on every claim, and can be\ntraced into the Standard.\nA number of the properties on\nMcGrath mountain have been\ngrouped. They are known as the\nSunrise Group and comprise 19\nclaims, and traverse the summit of\nthe mountain. These claims contain some exceptionally fine surface\nshowings of ore, and their development in the near future is confidently\nexpected.\nThe Standard has also some big\nshowings, also the Billy Mac, which\njoins the Standard. The Anyox has\nan ore vein 12 feet wide, and has\nbeen traced for 500 feet. It lies\nwest of the Billy Mac and Standard.\nThe ore showings on McGrath\nmountain probably rank among the\nlargest in the province. They cover\na large area, and requires big capital to develop. It is adjacent to\ntide water, and the topography will\nadmit cheap mining and milling of\nores.\nThe Sunrise was staked by G.\nW. Morley in 1912. He has done\na large amount of development\nwork, and deserves great credit for\nhis tenacity and faith in this section\nof the district.\nEverything Necessary\nfor Enjoyable Time\nAt Picnic\nThe annual picnio of the Alice\nArm Anglican Churoh Sunday\nSohool was held at Campers point\non Saturday under ideal weather\nconditions. All the children ofthe\ntown were present, and also a\nhrge number of adults.\nCanon Rushbrook oonveyed\neveryone to the soene of festivities\nfrom tlie wharf on board the\n\"Northern Cross\" several trips\nbeing neoessary. All being gathered a hearty luncheon was partaken of in a leafy bower near the\nshore.\nDuring the afternoon, bathing\nwas indulged in on the sandy beach\nby both adults and children.\nRaces were also held, in which\neveryone took part, and a most enjoyable time was spent.\nThe day was one of the hottest\nof the year, but the air at Campers\nPoint was tempered by a cool\nbreeze blowing up the inlet from\nthe ocean.\nTwo freezers filled with icecream\nwere quickly disposed of, and an\nabundance of good things were on\nhand, the latter being supplied by\nthe ladies of the town.\nThe day's festivities closed with\ntlni evening meal, when preparations were made for the journey\nhome, the first boat leaving shortly\nafter the repast.\nThe annual picnic is a red letter\nday in the lives of all the children\nand also a large number of adults.\nGreat oredit is due to the ladies\nfor the excellent refreshments provided and ideal arrangements and\nalso to Canon Rushbrook for his\nuntiring efforts in crowning the\nday's success by many thoughtful\nacts.\nMiss Olive Selfe of Anyox\nWins $100.00 Scholarship\nThe results of the Junior Matriculation examinations show three successful students out of fourteen.\nMiss Olive Selfe had the highest\nmarks with a total of 664, thereby\nwinning the Granby Company's\nScholarship of one hundred dollars.\nThe other successful candidates\nwere: Ernest Barclay 546; Theo.\nAsimus, 544; William Cloke had\nmarks of 450 but has to take one\nsuplementary.\n| ANYOX NOTES\nAnyox Fire is Not Proving\nVery Dangerous\nThe bush fires at back of Smelter\nwhile not at the present time very\ndangerous, are ever a menace to the\nConcentrator and Powder Magazine\nIt is all a matter of which way the\nwind blows.

Everyone is catching them\nThe Illiance River and Canyon\nCreek, are the best streams. There\nare lots of fish at Bowman Lakes\nfor those who wish to climb.\nDon't forget the Elks' Dance at\nthe Hotel tomorrow night.\nR.

The chair was taken by J.\nA Anderson.\nH. F. Kergin, M. L. A. was\nelected trustee in place of J. A.\nAnderson, whose term of office expired this year.\nMrs. W. M. Cummings was\nre-elected auditor.\nThe members of the School Board\nfor the coming year are as follows:\nAl. Falconer, secretary; G. Anderson, H. F. Kergin, trustees, and\nMrs. Cummings, auditor.\nIt is probable that a further meeting be shortly called to discuss the\nquestion of school teacher's salary,\nwhich has been revised this year by\nthe Department of Education. Formerly the government paid the\nwhole salary, but this year the\ndistrict is called upon to pay half.\nThe reason for the change is that\nin former years Alice Arm was\nclassed as an unorganized district,\nwhile this year it is classed as an\norganized district. Secretary Al.\nFalconer was directed to communicate with the Superintendent of\nEducation regarding the matter.and\na further meeting will be called when\na reply has been received.\nGranby Declares June\nDividend\nGranby, which has resumed\ndividends this year, has declared\n$1 per share for the June quarter.\nThe present distribution is made\nfor depletion and depreciation. It\nis a good showing, in view of the\nlow price at which copper is selling\nShould the curtailment in output\nnow effeoted by the large copper\nproducers result in raising the\nprice of the metal, Granby should\nbeable to continue, if not to increase\npayment of dividend at the present\nrate. No dividend had been paid\nsince 1919.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mining and Industrial\nRecord.\nSurprise Wedding of\nWell Known Anyox\nCouple\nA wedding, which was a complete\nsurprise to everyone, was solemnized at Christ Church, Anyox\non Sunday morning last, when\nMiss Anne J.

Barclay and A. Crear. The\nceremony was conducted without\nostentation and the happy couple\nleft at 10 a.m. for Silver City,\nwhere they are spending their\nhoneymoon.\nThe bride was given in marriage\nby her cousin, Mr. W. F. Barclay.\nShe wore a white tailored dress\nwith hat to match. Mr. Alex.\nCrear was the best man.\nOn their arrival at Silver City,\nwhere a large number of Anyox\npeople are holidaying, they were\ngreeted by the discharge of firearms\nand congratulations of their many\nfriends. A wedding breakfast was\nlater partaken of at the home of\nMr. and Mrs. W. F. Barclay.\nThe wedding took everyone by\nsurprise, no one having any knowledge of the event, except a few intimate friends.\nBoth bride and groom are well\nknown in Anyox, and are residents\nof several years. The bride was\nformerly matron at the General\nHospital, and the groom is on the\nstaff of the Drafting Office. They\nhave a large circle of friends who\nwish them happiness in their\nfuture life.\nAlice Arm Sends Ore Display\nto Vancouver Exhibition\nAu ore display destined for the\nVancouver Exhibition was shipped\nfrom Alice Arm on Monday. The\ndisplay contained some fine specimens, including silver, copper, lead\nand zinc, and will give visitors to\nthe mineral exhibit an idea of our\nmineral resources. A number of\nproperty owners were tardy in forwarding samples, which is regretted. The display is representative\nof the district, but samples from\nseveral more well known properties\nwould have considerably increased\nits value. The ore was shipped by\nthe Alice Arm branch of the\nBritish Columbia Chamber of\nMines.\nResults of High School Entrance Examinations\nThe results of the High School\nEntrance Examinations for the\nAnyox and Alice Arm district are\nas follows:\nGranby Bay Schools, Anyox:\nHarold C.

ALICE ARM AND ANYOX HERALD. Friday. August 5 1927\nAlice Arm & Anyox Herald\nIssued every Saturday at Alice Arm\nAlice Arm and Anyox $2.50 Yearly\nOther Parts of Canada, $2.75\nBritish Isles and United States, $8.00\nNotices for Crown Grants - - $15.00\nLund Notices .... $15.00\nTransient Advertising, 50o. per inch\nContract Bates on Application,\nE. MOSS, Editor and Publisher.\nA new mining camp has many\nheartbreaking hardships to endure\nbefore it reaches the stage of\npermanent production. This stage\nis only reached after some wealthy\nmining company has developed a\nproperty on a large scale, erected\nhuge reduction plants, and can\nmine and mill their ores at an\nextremely low cost. Until that\nhappy event is reached, life in a\nmining camp is insecure. A raw\nprospect takes years to develop.\nOften a promising property is\n\"thrown up\" by a mining company\nas not satisfactory. It may later\nbe further developed by another\ncompany, who have the advantage\nof previous work, and ultimately\nbrought it in as a big producer.\nThe reason for stopping the development of a mining property are\nmany; often a certain amount of\nmoney is appropriated for development purposes, and operations\ncease when this has been expended if a large tonnage of ore has\nnot been developed. Other\ncauses are a tightening of money\nafter work has started, or the\ntransferring of money to some\nother project other than mining.\nThe withdrawal of an influential\nmining company from a district is\nserious handicap to its development, but it does not mean that the\ncountry is worthless or even the\nproperty that was being developed.\nOften a property will be abandoned by one company and then\ntaken up by another and brought\nto the production stage. The\nfamous Premier is an illustration,\nand also the Big Missouri, both in\nthe Stewart district. A year or so\nago the Guggenheim interests\nabandoned the Duthie mine near\nSmithers, and since that time it has\nbeen operated successfully and a\nconcentating mill installed. The\nStandard Silver-Lead Co. who\nwere developing the Richfield\nmine at Topley near Smithers,\nthrew it up last week, but plans\nare already being made by the\nowner, F. H. Taylor for a renewal\nof development. Alice Arm has\nhad its reverses in this respect, but\ndevelopment goes on, those coming\nlater profiting by the mistakes of\nformer developers. The abandonment of a property does result in i\nPrice of Copper Shows\nSigns of Upward\nTrend\nCopper has continued its upward\ncourse, begun three weeks ago,\nwith a further increase in the vol\nlime of business, whioh was the\nbest for seven weeks. Last Thurs\nday little metal remained available\nat concessions from 12-jj-c. in the\nEast and a good tonnage was sold\nin the Middle West at 12fo. Friday was particularly active at 12jic.\ndelivered in the East, and on Saturday the bulk of a good business\nwas done at 12|c. in the East.\nThis continued on Monday, and on\nTuesday nothing was available\nunder 12fc. and sales were made\nat 12jc, some of the metal being\nfor Connecticut delivery. Today\nprices have ranged from 12.80 to\n12|c, with the higher level apparently well established this afternoon\nThe attitude of sellers is very different from that displayed on former\noccasions this year when the\nmarket has started upwards. They\nseem confident that buyers are in\nneed of metal for early requirements, and in this view they are\nsupported by the fact that the great\nbulk of the recent business has been\nfor August delivery. Some sellers\nhave declined to take business for\nOctober at current levels. Although\nthe June statistics fail to reveal\nany consequential decline iu the\nrate of world production, the leading producers seem confident that\ncurtailment still will prove to be\nmore than a gesture. One factor\nin the strength of the domestic\nmarket is the unusually active\nbuying abroad, done during the\nlast week at the fixed price of 13c,\nc. i. f. Germany is the outstanding\ncustomer, but France and Great\nBritain have participated. Standard copper has advanced sharply\nin London.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Engineering and Mining Journal, July 23rd.\nThe Skeena river is this year\nproducing more sockeye salmon\nthan any other stream or inlet on\nthe Pacific.\ntemporarily retarding development,\nbut it does not prove that a camp\nis valueless.\nDuring the past few weeks we\nhave experienced one of the hot\ntest spells in history, and it is\npossible that further hot weather\nwill be our lot during this month.\nThe woods are extremely dry and\neveryone entering them should\nuse extreme caution in regard to\nlighting fires, throwing away\nmatches or cigarette ends. This\nrule should also be observed\naround town. A fire started now\nwould quickly be out of control,\nand would probably devastate the\nentire district.\nAlice Arm\nThe Bonanza Silver\nCamp of B.

The paper mills\nforecast the development of industrial prosperity.\nThis growth which has excited\nthe admiration of the Board of\nTrade party seems based on the\nsubstantial qualities which make\noities and districts great.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Vanoouver Sun.\nVancouver Island Contains\nBig Pulp Areas\nIt is stated that two thirds of\nthe pulpwood of British Columbia\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nabout 125 billion feet\u00E2\u0080\u0094is located\non Vancouver Island and that it is\nof superiorquality for paper making\nand very dense in stand. Moreover\nthere is distributed over the Island\nabout 500,000 undeveloped horsepower or available energy in rivers\nand waterfalls awaiting harnessing\nto supply power for the pulp and\npaper mills of the future. Though\n42 million dollars has been invested\nin the pulp and paper mills of\nBritish Columbia, this development\nis comparatively insignificant in\ncomparison with the province's resources, and its unrivalled position\nfor export to the Western United\nStates, Asia and Australia.\nCanadians of British stock are\ni.oday 55 per cent of our population\nFrench 28 per cent, and European\n(other than French) 15 per cent.\nSafety Record by Mine\nEmployees\nWhat is believed to be a new\nmine safety record has been established by the more than 1,800 employees in all departments of the\nMoctezuma Copper Co., of Mexico,\nwho worked tlie entire month of\nMay with no time lost resulting\nfrom injuries received while on\nduty.

The total\npayroll in 1926 was $175,173,836\nas against $159,520, the increased\nwage bill being in almost every\nline of industry.\nThe average Canadian family is\none member less than at Confederation.\nThe average Canadian eats 22\npounds of fish a year and sixty\nper oent of our catch goes to foreign\nmarkets.\nAdvertise in the Herald\nCROWN COLONY\nDAYS\nAway back in the late sixties thousands of\nacres of British Columbia's timber were\nsold for one cent per acre, which looked\nlike a fair price\u00E2\u0080\u0094then. To-day similar\ntimber is worth from $150 to $200 an acre,\nso tremendously has timber appreciated in\nvalue within the scope of an average lifetime.\nWhat the young growth of to-day will be\nworth sixty years from now is beyond computation if it is protected from fire and\nallowed to reach maturity.\nThe moral is obvious\nPREVENT FOREST FIRES\nYOU CAN HELP\nBRITISH COLUMBIA FOREST SERVICE\nM.
