Fiva and associates\nwho have a bond on the property.\nThe ore vein is ahout two feet\nwide, and is impregnated with native, brittle and ruby silver. The\nvein dips into the hill at an angle\nof about 25 degrees, and is one of,\nthe strongest and best defined veins\never found in tbe district. The\nbanging wall section of the vein\nwas first encountered, at a distance\nof 110 feet from the portal of the\ntunnel, and the stuping ground to\nthe surface is 70 feet. The vein\nhas been traced for a distance of\n600 feet on the surface, and it can\nreadily be seen that a large tonnage of ore is now available for\nmiuing.\nAs soon as the tunnel has been\nextended to the footwall, a drift\nwill be driven on the ore to the\nnorth, and stoping of ore will commence. A drift will later be driven\non the south also.\nThe Wolf, which is within three\nminutes' walk of Alice Ann was\nbonded last fall by J. Fiva and\nassociates from J. Stark, after they\nhad prospected the ground and\nfound an interesting surface showing of ore caused by the uprooting\nof a tree.\nThey stripped this showing and\nincidentally took off 16 tons of ore\nwhich realized $100.00 per ton in\nsilver and gold.\nA tunnel was then commenced\nin order to encounter the ore at\ndepth. Work on the tunnel has\nbeen pushed with great rapidity\nduring the past few months, and\nthe longed-for contact with the ore\noccurred last Saturday.\nDogged perseverance, plus hard\nwork and good judgement has again\nwon out, and another shipping mine\nhas been added to Alice Arm's\ngrowing list.\nShipping mines are what makes\nla mining oamp, and from present\nJ tppearances Alice Arm will shortly\nIhave a flock of them.\nI The Wolf has been brought to a\nshipping stage without the aid of\njutside capital, and is another\nproof of the ease with whioh ore\n:an be located in this rich mineral\nllistriot.\nj A large blacksmith shop aud ore\n.hed, also a short tramline was\nonstructed last fall, and everything\n? in readiness for the mining and\nhipping of ore in considerable\niiiantities.\n[New Yorker Visits Camp\nAlthough the season is yet early\nlie tide of mining engineers iscom-\nlencing to flow into Alice Arm.\n>n Monday, Paul F. Brown, mining\nigineer of New York city arrived\nom the south. He found that he\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2as too early to make an examin-\nt ion of the camp, but plans to re-\nirn at a later date. He left for\nie south on Thursday.\nA Canadian Spirit and\nConscience Lacking\nSays McRaye\nThe spirit which enabled the\nearly pioneers of this vast country\nto overcome what were apparently\ninsurmountable obstacles, the indomitable courage and tenacity of\nspirit of the Canadian troops in\nthe late war and the spirit of do\"-'\noperation amongst themselves. The\nlack of an appreciation of Canada\nby those living here, and the need\nfor unity, coupled with an appeal\nfor more instructive teaching of\nCanadian history, were discussed\nby Walter McRaye in the Recreation Hall on Wednesday March\n7th.\nThe great need of the people of\nCanada today, declared Mr. McRaye is a Canadian conscience.\nProceeding the speaker referred\nto the spirit of the Canadian forces\nat Ypres, and said that over there\nthe men going over the top to\nmake an attack did not look to see\nif the man next to them were from\ntire West or from the East. They\nsaw Canada on his shoulder, that\nwas enough. This unity of spirit\nwas an exemplication which we as\nthe people of a vast dominion\nshould strive to uphold for the\ncommon good of our country and\nall its enterprises.\nThe past history of Canada is\nworthy of study by all who are\nliving in the Dominion today.\nIt will enlighten us as to the\nstruggles of the early pioneers; the\nIndian Wars; the story of the\nHudson Bay Co; the laying of the\nC. P. R. tracks. All these said the\nspeaker are epics of which any\ncountry might be proud, and yet\nhow much of them are taught in\nour schools today?\nThe history of Canada he continued, is founded on the success of\nearnest endeavour. In i ts pages one\nsees optimism at its best, yet we\nCanadians are not enthusiastic.\nWhy? because we have never been\ntaught about our wonderful history\nOur American neighbors across the\nborder take good care that the history of theirown country is instilled\nin the young mind and what is the\noutcome? A Nation of Boosters\nfor theirown country, and all its\nproducts.\nThe trouble is that we have no\nnational conscience; our outlook is\nprovincial or local. We cannot\nrise to a national aspeot. The government is seeking to change this,\nbut before it can educate the nation\nit must educate itself, declared Mr.\nMcRaye.\nIt is hard to realize, but nevertheless unfortunately true that no\nohild bom in Canada today is a\nCanadian. The very birth certificate robs it of its birthright. Ou\nthis certificate it is clearly stated\nas that of the parents, because\nthere is no Canadian nationality,\nthat term merely denotes citizenship.\nMr. McRaye emphasized the fact\nand was proud to say he was 100%\nCanadian and I take off my hat to\ni Al\nALICE ARM NOTES\n4- ).>fi.f>i'H'i\u00C2\u00AB'f>fi't'\u00C2\u00BB)'i')'\u00C2\u00BBi'i')l\nSee Al.

C. Mining\nGiven by J. D. Galloway\nJohn D. Galloway, Provincial\nMineralogist frankly attributes the\ngreat increase in the values of the\nmineral production of British Columbia during recent years partly\nto publicity. Addressing the local\nbranch of the Engineers' Institute\nof Canada at Victoria, on February\n17th, Mr. Galloway gave some\ninteresting figures. He stated\nthat the value of the mineral production of British Columbia for\n1925 was $61500,000, of which\n$47,000,000 was in metals, $11,500-\n000 in coal and coke, and the\nremainder in building materials\nand non-metallics. Of the lode\nproduction 72 per cent was treated\nin the province, 13 per cent was\npartly treated in the province, and\n15 per cent was shipped to foreign\ncountries in the crude state.\nThere are 15,000 men employed\niu the industry, representing an\nannual payroll of $25,000,000.\nProfits derived from the industry\nare hard to arrive at, Mr. Galloway\naverred. Dividends do not tell the\nwhole tale: reserves set aside and\ntaxes paid to governments must be\nadded to the dividends. During\nlast year 10 per cent of the value'\nof the gross production was paid in\ndividends. The total sum invested\nin the industry in the province is\n$150,000,000. In 1924, the last\nyear for which the information is\navailable, the per-eapita value of\nthe mineral production for the\nwhole of Canada was $24; that of\nBritish Columbia was $93;Ontario,\n$29; and Quebec, $10.\nProspectors Too Anxious to\nGet Underground\nMr. Douglas Lay, resident mining engineer for the North-eastern\nmining district in a recent address\ngiven at Smithers said that:\n\"In developing mining properties,\nprospectors were in too big a hurry\nto get under ground, which he considered a great mistake. With\nvery few exceptions the surface\nstrength would be found to be an\naccurate indication of what would\nbe found at depth. This being so\nIt was important for prospectors to\nthoroughly prospect the surface and\nby all means to stick to his ore. It\nwas much better to sink on the ore\nthan to attempt long cross-cuts,\nbut where physical conditions were\nright it was of course better to drift\non the ore and in this way avoid\nthe expense and disappointment of\nthrowing up the property because\na fault had come in to change the\ndip of the vein.\"\nH.

Shows Big\nProduction\nThe annual report of the Premier\nGold Mining Co. has now been published for the year ending December 31st. 1925, and following are\nvarious interesting items taken\ntherefrom:\n\"A new orebody of probably only\n. moderate importance as to tonnage\nand value was found towards the\nend of the year by some flat diamond drill holes, running south-east\nfrom the main orebody upon No. 1\nlevel. This new orebody runs\napproximately parallel with the\nmain ore zone for 200 feet therefrom\nIt has been drifted upon for 200\nfeat or more with an average gold-\nsilver value of about $14 for a six\nfoot width. Drifting is being continued and the persistence of this\nore at depth will be investigated by\ndrill holes from the second and\nthird levels. No tonnage from this\nnew orebody has been included in\nthe ore estimates of the December\n31st. 1925, as it is not as yet sufficiently developed.\"\n\"Balance sheet as of December\n31st. 1925, and Profit and loss\nstatement for the year 1925 are embodied in this report. The total\nearnings for 1925 before deducting\nadministration expense, taxes, depreciation and ore depletion, were\n$2,013,481.60, or $708,124.31 less\nthan in the year 1924. This decrease is due to the gradual\nexhaustion of the high grade ore so\ncharacteristic of the earlier production years of the property and the\nconsequent lower average grade of\nthe ores mined. It was in view of\nthis situation that the doubling of\nthe milling capacity for low grade\nores was undertaken last year, the\nbenefits of which will begin to appear upon the completion in March\nof the new mill unit;\nIt will be observed that as deduction from total earnings, taxes for\n1922 are $405,848.48, compared\nwith $188,932.35 in 1924, even\nthough the earninings in 1925 were\ni. This is due to a new ruling\nI made last year by the Finance\n[Minister of British Columbia with\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0respect to permissible deductions\n[from earnings, for ore depletion, in\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0arriving at taxable earningsin con-\nIformity with which ruling, your\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0company was required to pay to\nIthe Provincial Government of British Columbia $213,990.99 as\n[additional taxes for preceding years.\n(At the same time the Finance Minister reduced the Provincial tax from\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A010 per cent, to 8 per cent, upon net\nearnings.

Merely\nas a glorified meal ticket, to be\nworked until we have made enough\nand then back to the country we\nare proud to own.\nMr. McRaye also pointed out the\nconditions which exist today in\nconnection with our raw products,\ntaking the paper industry. In\nseveral of the pulp mills today, the\nraw product is baled up and ship\nped to the United States to be\nmade into paper. The Sunday\nEditions published in the United\nStates takes 2,000 acres of Canadian pulpwood, the Saturday Evening Post and the Ladies Home\nJournal require for one issue, approximately 40 acres each to supply\nthe demand. A greater part of\nthe mineral wealth of the Dominion is sent to the U. S. A. to be\nsmelted and turned into the finished\nproduct. The same with our lumber and fishing industries, which\nwe eventually buy back in the finished product, besides giving em\nployment to citizens of another\ncountry, which should rightfully\nbe ours. When are the people of\nCanada going to wake up and get\nout of the rut and realize the possibilities of their own oountry and\nbe 100% boosters. Invest your\nmoney in Canada in sound Canadian enterprises and buy only Canadian products. In conclusion the\nspeaker said. Get away from the\njazzy restless wave of today. It\nbehooves us to drop our sectional\ndifference and take a national view.\nLet us change our motto of\n\"Canada for the Canadians\" to the\n\"Canadians for Canada.\" This\naccomplished and we will be building up the unity between North\nand South between East and West\nbetween the Dominion and the\nEmpire and we will be making\nCanada worthy of her gallant sixty\nthousand sons who laid down their\nlives on the fields of France aud\nFlanders.\nt\nANYOX NOTES\nt +\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2>\u00E2\u0080\u00A2+\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2+\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2+**\"**+\"\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0#\u00C2\u00BB+<\u00C2\u00BB4 .\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*+ *\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00BB+'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\u00E2\u0099\u00A6'*'\u00E2\u0099\u00A6 ***\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nANYOX\nCOMMUNITY\nLEAGUE\nBeach Recreation Hall:\nPictures: Tuesdays,\nThursdays, and Saturdays\nMine Recreation Hall:\nPictures: Wednesdays and\nFridays\nPOOL, BILLIARDS, SMOKES, Etc\nHelp the Organization\nthat Serves You\nLAND ACT.\nNotice of intention to apply to lease\nOassiar Land District, District of\nPrince Rupert.\nTAKE notice that the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power\nCo.
