McGrath mountain ia\nnow in a distance of 550 feet. The\ntunnel will be driven 1000 feet,\nand will tap ono of the ore bodies\nof tho Sunrise at a depth of 500\nfeet below tho surface ontoroppings.\nThe other ore body will be tapped\nat a greater depth. It is possible\nthat, the dip of the ore may change\nbelow the surface, and if such is\nthe case the depth obtained may\nvary somewhat either way from\nthat estimated.\nDuring the driving of the tunnel\ntwo ore bodies were encountered,\nshowing good mineralization. One\nwas at a distance of 150 feet from\ntin' portal, and the other 400 feet.\nTho first is 5 feet wide and the\nsecond nearly 6 feet.\nAlthough the ore bodies of the\nSunrise have been classed as zinc,\nthe ore located underground carries\nsilver and lead in addition to zinc\nvalues. Neither of the ore bodies\nencountered showed on the surface.\nIt is expected that the first ore\nbody that is being driven for will\nbe encountered during the latter\npart of this month. The tunnel\nwill then be continued until a distance of 1000 feet has been attained\nand before this has been done it is\nexpected that the second ore body\nwill be located.\nThis tunnel is the first that has\nattained any real depth on McGrath\nmountain, and Its result is being\nwatched with keen interest.\nShould success be attained it will\ngreatly expediate the development\nof this section. Surface showings\non the mountain indicate the\npresence of large ore bodies, that\nhave been favorably commented\nupon by several mining engineers.\nTwo shifts are being worked in\nthe tunnel and good progress is\nbeing maintained. Work is in\ncharge of A. MoGuire.\nCard Party This Evening\nAlice Arm\nA card party, under the auspices\nIof the Alice Arm Junior Sports'\nClub will be held at the School\nthis evening, commencing at\n1.30 p.m. Other entertainments\ntwill follow the card playing.\nEveryone welcome.

A short\nsing-song was then enjoyed, and\ngames resumed until 11 o'clock,\nwhen the pleasant evening closed\nby the singing of God Save the\nKing.\nAnnual Meeting Anyox\nCommunity League\nCreates Interest\nThe Annual Meeting of the Community League began on Wednesday night shortly after eight o'clock,\nconsumed most of the evening, and\nnow stands adjourned until March\n20th. Meanwhile Chairman Macintyre is expected to prepare a report\n\"which will -be acceptable to the\nmeeting.\" Other members can\navail themselves of the breathing\nspace to draft motions, suggest\namendments to the constitution,\npractice up on procedure, and learn\na few synonyms for the harsh words\nthat were freely bandied about.\nThe Chairman exercised his\noratory on such achievements of the\nleague as the lied Parrot and alterations to the seats in the movies,\nand resumed his chair without alluding to the impending change in the\nsecretaryship of the League. A\nmotion was passed demanding the\nomitted explanation. Still occupy\ning the chair, the President referred\nto his published statement of a few\nweeks ago but this only provoked\ndenunciation and an exchange ot\npleasantries among the members\nThose who essayed to defend tth\npresident were not listened to and\nfinally the Chairman was pinned\ndown to the admission \"that is all\nthe explanation I will give.\" A\nmotion to reject the Annual report\nwas then carried. This was argued\nas a \"no confidence\" decision.\nNevertheless, the meeting proceeded\nwith the next item on the agendaJ\nwhich was to elect unanimously\nJohn McCallum to the hospital\nboard.\nThen the call was given for nominations for the new council. Fred\nBrown and T. J. Kirkwood were\nfirst to decline but T. Chambers\nwas urged to stand. Messrs. Bas-\nsett and Clark raised no objection\nbut the next two nominated declined.\nUpon being re-nominated Mr. Macintyre said that he would give the\nvoters a chance to register their\nopinion of his actions in the ballot-\nbox. After a long list of \"I declines\"\nthe nominations were closed. The\nmembers will choose eight from\nMessrs. Chambers, Bassett, For-\ndyce Clark, O. G. Macintyre, J.\nMurdoch, H. Gourlay, S. B. Roberts\nR. Gale, G. A. Edgecombe, and J,\nMcGilligan.\nNot forgetting the efforts of the\ncouncillors during the past year,\nthe meeting voted appreciation of\ntheir work and confidence in Mr.\nKelley. There was another motion\naimed at some evilly-disposed \"person or persons unknown\" but no\naction was taken thereon.\nThere was a lively exchange over\nthe auditing of the books by J. L.\nStewart. A long debate on the\nquestion of adjournment concluded\nthe proceedings. Some professors\nof parliamentary procedure claim\nthat the whole thing has to be done\nover again. ,\nBadminton Tournament\nGreat Success\nThe badminton tournament on\nTuesday attracted most of the members of the club and interested a\nlarge number in the spectator's\ngallery. The contestants were\ndivided into two groups, the teams\nbeing drawn by lottery and handicaps given. In group One Miss\nRichards and Mr. Brett went\nthrough the evening without losing\na game, Mrs. Roy and Mr. Bartman\nbeing second with only four points\nless. In the other division, Mrs.\nMacintyre and Mr. Cloke were undefeated. Miss Dunwoodie and\nMr. G. Macintyre equalled with tbe\naddition of their handicap of 14,\nthe winners' score of ninety.

A syndicate has\nbeen formed for this purpose, by\nJ. N. McPhee, ownerof the property\nand work is expected to start early\nthis spring. Operations will be in\ncharge of Mr. McPhee, who will\narrive in Alice Arm shortly after\nApril 1st.\nThe capital of the syndicate is\nlimited to $100,000 and is divided\ninto 10,000 units of a par value of\n$10.00 each. This stock is now on\nthe market and is finding a ready-\nsale\nThe Red Bluff Group consists of\nfive claims and is located about 7\nmiles north-east from the head of\nAlice Arm. It is situated on Red\nBluff mountain, and the whole district is well mineralized. Reports\nhave been made on the property by\ngeologists and mining engineers,\nall of whom have recommended\ndevelopment work to be done. Following are extracts from a report\nmade by R. G. McConnell of the\nDominion Department of Mines\nwho made an examination of the\nproperty some years ago:\n\"The mineralized area is very-\nlarge, fully a thousand feet in width,\nand traceable for a long distance up\nthe steep slopes of the mountain.\nThe rocks are fractured and the\npyrite oxidized to a greater depth\nthan usual, and no large mass of\nsulphides is exposed on the surface.\nCopper carbonates in small quantities occur at a number of points,\nand a specimen consisting mostly\nof white pyrite in a siliceous gangue\ncontained small specks of bornite.\nSome pyrargyrite in small grains\nwas also found with pyrite in one\nexposure. This mineral does not\noccur, or at least has not been found,\nin the other large iron croppings of\nthe district. A crust deposited by\na spring bubbling up near the centre\nof the deposit was determined by\nMr. R. A. A. Johnston as allophane,\na hydrous silicate of aluminum.\n\"The economic importance of\nthis large pyritized area is uncertain.\nIt contains some copper, and while\nthe amount of surface work which\nhas been done has not exposed it\nin commercial quantities, the prospects certainly warrant further exploration. The presence of the rich\nsilver mineral pyrargyrite, even in\nsmall quantities, is important.\"\nReports on the property have\nalso been made by Geo. E. Clothier\nformer resident mining engineer.\nLast year, at the request of Mr.\nMcPhee, John E. Stark of Alice\nArm also made a report, both of\nwhich have been published with\nMr. McConnell's report.\nOwing to its close proximity to\ntidewater, the Red Bluff can be developed much more cheaply than if\nfarther inland.

Its close proximity to the\ntidewater with an easy grade, its\nlarge mineralization that should\nproduce excellent results with development work. The fact that its\nhigh grade ores can be cheaply\nshipped and its secondry ores milled\nclose to tidewater, together with the\nfact that shares can be procured at\nthe present time at a low cost,\nmakes it an attractive investment.\nAnyox Notes\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Continued from Page 1\nMr. R.

The pipe is to\nbe used for air pipe in the tunnel,\nso far as permanent pipe may be\nput in. The string of pack-horses\nworking their way up the mountain above Stewart have created\nconsiderable interest to people on\nthe streets. Most winters it would\nhave been impossible to deliver this\norder, but so far this winter has| |\nbeen an exception.\n~]\nPIONEER\nHOTEL\nAlice Arm\nComfortable Rooms for Rent\nBy Day, Week or Month at\nReasonable Rates\nN.
