Chamber of Mines\nHold Meeting\nThe regular meeting of the Alice\nArm Branch of the B. C. Chamber\nof Mines was held at the Pioneer\nHotel, on Tuesday evening, at 8\np.m. President G. W. Bruggy\npresiding.\nSixteen members were present,\nand considerable business was disposed of.\nIt was deoided to construct the\ncabinet for the display of ores from\nlooal properties, in Geo. Bruggy's\nold store building, and to have it\ncompleted within thirty days.\nSeveral other suggestions were\nmade by those present, which the\nsecretary, A. D. York promised\nwould be taken up, and acted\nupon.\nMr. Ole Evindson was called upon\nby the chairman to say a few\nwords relative to the Chamber of\nMines in Vancouver. Mr. Evindson\nwas one of the pioneers of Alice\nArm, aud has, during the past few\nyears resided at Vancouver. He\nspoke at some length, and said\nthat in his opinion the forming of\nthe Alice Arm branch would be of\ngreat benefit to the camp. He\nreviewed the large amount of good\nwork being done by the Chamber\nof Mines in Vanoouver, and said\nthat thousands of persons anually\nvisited the headquarters. Mining\nmen from all over the world went\nthere to seek information, and if\nthe people of Alice Ann desired\npublicity on their mining resources they could obtain it through\nthe Chamber of Mines. He went\ninto details and explained how this\nobject could be achieved. He said\nthat in Mr. Fraser, geologist, and\nMr. H. Browning, secretary, the\nChamber of Mines had two zealous\nworkers. Mr. Browning especially\ntook a keen interest in the work,\nand was an encyclopaedia of information regarding the mining\nindustry of the province. He had\ngreat faith in the Alice Arm district, aud the speaker was quite\nsure he would help to advertise its\npossibilities whenever possible.\nHigh Grade Silver\nOre Struck at\nLaRose Mine\nDiscovery WiilBenef it Whole\nDistrict\nBIRTH AT ANYOX\nHigh grade silver ore was\nencountered in the underground\nworkings at the LaRose mine dur-\nthe early part of the week. This\nis the most sensational ore discovery made in the Alice Arm district\nsince the Toric ore .body was proven up, and it will .have a decided\nstimulating effect on the mining\nindustry of the Alice Arm district.\nThe ore was encountered in a\nraise that had been commenced,\nfrom the recently driven tunnel.\nThe raise had only been driven a\nshort distance before ore was\nbroken into, and latest reports from\nthe mine are to the effect that the\nore is increasing iu value as the\nraise is extended.\nThe width of the ore ledge has\nnot yet been determined, as it is\nacross the full widili of the raisei\nwhioh is about four feet. The\nhighest grade ore is found in a vein\nabout one foot wide. The remaining three feet, however, is good\nore, and should pay a handsome\nprofit.\nThe vertical depth of the ore\nfrom -tha^b^b torn. r;\u00C2\u00A3ihash.\u00C2\u00B0-\u00C2\u00A3ty which \u00E2\u0080\u00A2]\nhas been siink on the surface, is\nfully 130 feet, so that it can be\nreadily seen that a big tonnage is\nalready practically proven up.\nThe ore values are chiefly composed of native silver, grey copper,\nand some galena, and specimens\nbrought down from the property\nfully substantiate the richness of\nthe discovery.\nThe LaRose is one of the best\nknown mining properties iu the\nAlice Arm district. This has been\ndue to the exceptional high grade\nsilver ore that the property was\nknow n to contain. Samples of th is\nore have obtained first prizes at all\nmineral exhibitions when exhibited,\nand it was well known that if this\nore could be found at a good depth\nunderground, that the LaRose\nwould develop into a mine of no\nmean proportions.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 * -\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0080\u0094 \u00E2\u0080\u0094 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 A .\u00E2\u0080\u0094.

When it\nis also taken into consideration that\nover 1000 men are employed, and\nthe large percentage of them at\nhazardous occupations, the figures\nare even more startling. The small\ndeath rate is undoubtedly due to\nthe efficient hospital maintained\nand the excellent staff of skillful\nconscientious doctors and nurses,\nwho spare no pains to mend the\nbroken bodies oaused by accidents,\nor patiently nurse the sick back to\nrobust health.\n.

The best\nimmigration policy that could be\nformulated is one for the bringing\nin of capital, to develop our natural resources, and erect manufacturing plants, to produce goods that\nwe are now forced to buy from\nforeign countries. Just as soon as\nthere is a demand for workers\nthey will come to Canada of their\nown accord. An immigrant who\npays his own way is a greater\nasset to the country than one who\nhas to be assisted, and it means a\ngreat saving of expenditure to the\ncountry. \"When the time arives\nthat there is a shortage of workers\nin Canada it is soon enough to\ntalk of assisted passages. That\ntime has not yet arrived, and from\nall appearances is still a long way\noff. If there is any assisting to be\ndone, in order to get settlers on the\nland, why not assist those already\n. here instead of assisting the transportation companies, by bringing in\nmore immigrants that are, at the\npresent time not required.\nThe people of Canada are\ntaking a greater interest in the\nmining industry at the present time\nthan they have ever previously\nshown. Mining ranks third among\nCanadian industries and is increasing by leaps and bounds. Every\nmining district is feeling the effects\nof this increased prosperity, and\nthose distrists who have a live\norganization working for their\ninterests are the ones that are deriving the greatest benefits. Alice\nArm has an organization in the\nlocal branch of the B. C. Chamber\nof Mines and this branch will be\nof considerable benefit to this dis\ntrict if it receives the proper\namount of support. All those\nwho wish to see an early develop\nment of the camp should give it\ntheir support, for in doing so they\nhave everything to gain and nothing to lose.\nSnow Motors Unsatisfactory\nObservers of tests with a snow\nmotor used for hauling supplies for\nthe Wilkins' polar expedition expressed the opinion that the machines will never make their\ndestination, declaring them helpless on the ice and bare ground,\nwhich they said would be encountered in the wind-swept reaches of\nthe Arctic.\nThe Alaska railroad Commission\nreported a test made over a 58 mile\nsnow stretch. The steering gear\nfailed to guide the machine.\nAnyox P. T. A. Has\nBeen of Real Benefit\nto Community\nSince its organization in 1920,\nthe Anyox P. T.

A. Johnson\nof the Geogical Survey of Canada,\nfrom placers on Gold pan creek,\nCassiar, British Columbia, during\nthe summer of 1925. It was on\nGoldpan creek that the find was\nmade, in the autumn of 1924, that\nled to the rush into this district in\nthe spring of 1925. This creek is a\ntributary of little Eagle river, and\nlies eleven miles iii a direct line due\neast of the head of Dease lake.\nAll of the mining was done by\nhand as in the seventies, when the\nCassiar dieti'ict was a scene of considerable activity. Nearly all the\ngold was obtained on the lower\npurt.of the creek from the discovery\nclaim, one thousand feet long, and\nfrom claims No. 1, above and No.\n2 below, each two hundred and\nfifty feet long. The creek was\nmined out for a length of Hve hundred and sixty five feet, the ground\naveraging three to five feet in\ndepth. Some gold was found in\nthe upper parts of the creek, whioh\nis nearly four miles long, and on\nits tributaries, but apparently not\nin sufficient quantities to pay for\nworking by hand methods.\nConsiderable prospecting was\ndone in other parts of the region\nI and extended as far north as Frances lake, east to Muddy river and\nin the west on the first north fork\nof Clearwater river. One party of\nprospectors used a hydroplane for\nmoving from one part of the region\nto another, as well as for flying in\nand Jut of the country. Late in\nthe autumn a discovery of placer\ngold ou low benches in the canyon\nI of the first north fork of Clearwater river, about twenty five\nmiles above the mouth of the\nI Clearwater, was reported, and a\nnumber of prospectors went into\nthe area. No informatinn is avail-\ni able as to the importance to be\n[ attached to the new discovery.\nMachinery including a dragline\n[scraper outfit, over thirty tons of\nNorthern Gold Pours\nInto Seattle\n\"Since the Seattle assay office\nwas established July 15, 1898, it\nhas received in gold and silver, a\ngrand total of |295,485,987.10,\naccording to a report made this\nweek by T. C. Hatheway, assayer\nin charge of the government institution. More than half of this\nstupendous amount has come from\nthe Northland. During that time.\nNome has sent to the assay office\n$71,892,552.58 in bullion and gold\ndust. The Yukon country, during\nthis period, has sent to this office\ngold and silver to the amount of\n$92,238,874.63.\nIn 1925, the greatest shipments\nwere received from Southeastern\nAlaska, their value being $2,039,-\n992.00. Interior Alaska came next\nwith shipments valued at $1,033,-\n609.50. British Columbia and the\nYukon country made shipments\naggregating $999,100.37, and\nNome shipped gold to the value of\n$916,467.29.\n\"You'r a fine kid. you are,\"\nhowled the boss at the new office\nboy. \"Here I've taught you everything I know and still you don't\nknow anything.\"\nhydraulic pipe, and a Keystone\ndrill for mining and prospecting on\nDease, Thibert and McDame\ncreeks, on which most ofthe mining\nwas done in the early days, were\ntaken into the distriot last summer,\nso that although the Cassiar placer\nfield is an old one, and has produced\nvery little gold in recent years, the\npast summer has witnessed a\nmarked revival of interest in the\npossibilities of the region.\nOrders Taken for all\nKinds of\nFinished Building Material\nS.
