C, Satubday, Mat 5, 1928\n5 cents each.\nWill Thoroughly Explore\nAlice Arm Mineral\nWealth\nThat the mining possibilities of\nthe Alice Arm district are beginning\nto attract considerable attention, is\nevidenced by the fact that the government has decided to thoroughly\ninvestigate the extent and richness\nof the mineral deposits of the district.\nA recent dispatch from Victoria\nstates that:\n\"Complete surveys of the mineral\npossibilities of the mineralized zone\naround Alice Arm will be undertaken by the geological survey of\nCanada this year in co-operation\nwith the provincial department of\nmines.\n\"Engineers of the geological survey will cover the entire mineral\nfield tributary to Alice Arm, in\nwhich the famous Dolly Varden and\nother important properties are situated. This survey will commence\nas soon as weather conditions\npermit.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'The provincial mines department will complete this work with\nan economic survey of the Alice Arm\nmineral field. This will be designed\nto reveal the immediate commercial\npossibilities of the area. Despite\nits well-known mineral wealth, the\nAlice Arm territory has not been as\nactive in development in the last few\nyears as some other adjacent districts, but this year's survey is expected to focus greater attention to\nit.\"\nGranby Company to Increase\nHydro-Electric Power\nAn increase will shortly be made\nby the Granby Co. of their hydroelectric power. It has been decided\nto install a small unit in the place\nof one of the blowers used for the\nsmelter furnaces. Since the smelter\nhas been operated on one furnace,\nless water has been needed, but\nmore electric power is desired on\naccount Of the concentrating mill\nand other extensions.\nAnyox Becoming Greener\nThis year there is more evidence\nof natural growth around the oamp\nthan there has been for years.\nPlant life is re-asserting itself.\nWith a little effort appearances\ncould be vastly improved. Gangs\nof men have been busy oleaning\nthe streets. It only remains for\nhouseholders to remove some of the\nexcess debris.\nAnyox Yatchtsmen Busy\nAlong the water-front preparations for the boating season are\ngoing ahead briskly. Together\nwith a fleet of other small craft\nwhich are being given a spring\ncleaning, J.' Beckett's \"Wanderer\"\npresents a smart appearance following the renovating reoeived after\nbeing submerged during the winter.\nDolly Varden and\nWolf To Operate\nOptions Also Taken on Silver Properties Adjacent to Woli by\nVictor Spencer Interests of Vancouver\nThe Dolly Varden and Wolf\nmines, will be operated this year by\nCol. Victor Spencer and associates\nof Vancouver. Operations to commence as soon as snow is off the\nground.\nIt is a matter of conjecture at the\npresent time as to what form opera,\ntions will be carried on this year.\nAdvices from the south state that\nthe old workings of the Dolly Varden will not be explored this year,\nbut that work will be concentrated\non the Number 5 claim, which is at\npresent undeveloped, and also the\nWolf mine.\nThe Dolly Varden ceased operations in 1920, except for a little\nwork in 1921, and owing to entanglements it was not possible to again\noperate it.\nIn its palmy days it shipped high\ngrade silver ore of incredible\nrichness, and it is anticipated that\nno serious difficulty will be encountered in locating other rich bodies of\nThe Wolf, which lies across the\nriver, about 3 miles north, contains some of the largest surface\nshowings of silver ore in the province. Diamond drilling in 1916-17\nproved these ore bodies at depth,\nbut since that time the property\nhas been idle. It comprises a part\nof the Dolly Varden holdings.\nCol. Victor Spencer and associates have also taken options on the\nMoose mine and Climax. Negotiations are proceeding for the\nsecuring of options on the Chance\nand Silver Hoard, and it is expected\nthat agreements will be signed by\nthe owners today or the early part\nof next week.\nOptions on all four properties are\nto July 31st., but in the meantime,\nas soon as snow is off the ground,\nthey will be given a thorough examination by a mining engineer,\nwho will decide upon their retention.\nMiles Donald, who returned on\nThursday from a visit to Vancouver, is conducting negotiations for\nCol. Victor Spencer and associates.\nThe Moose property consists of\nfive claims. It is situated on the\neast side of the Kitsault River and\nis owned by Miles Donald of Alice\nArm, Don Cameron of Ontario, and\nChris Nelson of Denmark. It is\nabout four miles from the Dolly\nVarden. Considerable work was\ndone in 1921 and a good tonnage of\nmilling ore developed.\nThe Climax consists of two\nclaims and is owned by Olier Besner of Prir.ce Rupert. Tunnels\nhave been driven on the ore body\nand the property appears very\npromising. , .\nAll of the above mentioned prop\nerties are in the upper Kitsault\ncountry. The Wolf is three miles\nnorth of the Dolly Varden.^ The\nSilver Hoard joins the Wort,'* Climax and Moose joins Silver Hoard,\nand The Chance joins the Moose.\nSunday Concert Draws\nLarge Audience\nFrom the opening number to the\nconcluding item the programme arranged by the Anyox Concert\nOrchestra, under the direction of\nStuart Steele, proved another outstanding success. Popular pieces,\nall of them, they were of such well\nknown merit that little need be\nsaid.\nThe playing, individually and\ncollectively by the orchestra was\nbeyond praise, each number being\nrendered in a masterly manner and\nreceived by the audience with enthusiasm.\nThe solos by Mrs. V. McRae\nwere very well received, particularly \"Sing me to Sleep,\" which\nwas very pleasing. Also Mr.\nRoberts in two bass solos, which\nwere very well rendered.\nSpace this week does not permit the publication of the programme.\nThis concludes the Sunday even-\ning concerts given by the Anyox\nConcert Orchestra for this season.\nSpring Cleaning Made Easy\nThe United Church will aid you\nwith your spring cleaning by relieving you of any clothing for\nwhich you have no further use.\nLeave your bundles at the Church\nor phone 92 and it will be called\nfor. The box will be shipped on\nMay Hth.\nAnyox Community League\nActivities\nThe Community League Council\nhas deoided to allot a sum regularly\nfor the purchase of tobacco and\ncigarettes for hospital patients.\nTlie Councillors have offered a\nprize of five dollars for the best\nsuggestion which will increase the\nusefulness of the League. The\nclosing date for the first of these\ncompetitions will be May 22nd.\n.

A copy of the letter\nis herewith published.\n\"From August 8th. to 18th. next,\nwe shall be holding the Annual\nExhibition at Hastings Park and\nshortly afterwards another at New\nWestminster. At present we are\nbusily engaged in making our new\nheadquarters attractive and useful\nin the highest degree to the Mining\nIndustry.\n\"We are very much concerned,\nhowever, in getting together the\nbest collection of British Columbia\nmineral specimens that can be obtained. Some of our members\nhave already been good enough to\nsend us specimens and we have\ngiven these the best position obtainable in our surroundings.\n\"We realize that many of these\nsamples have been packed to the\nrailroad by prospectors and fully\nappreciate the splendid work they\nhave done in endeavouring to get\nthe public interested in their mineral claims. We hope they have\nreaped many benefits by attention\nbeing drawn to their properties\nthrough displaying specimens at\nour headquarters and other exhibitions.\n\"As all mining men are aware,\nmineral specimens lose their freshness very much from one year to\nanother and would ask you particularly to send us in new samples.\n\"Through the many exhibitions\nwe have had of mineral samples\nand the publicity given to the\nMining Industry generally by the\nBritish Columbia Chamber ol\nMines, the public are now fully\naroused to the possibilities and\nnecessity for proper development\nof our mineral resources and are\nready and willing to invest their\nmoney in properties which have\nthe approval if the Government\nResident Mining Engineer, or are\nwell recommended by a certified\nregistered mining engineer, or other\ncompetent mining man.\n\"We would, therefore, greatly\nappreciate yonr kindness in sending us forward a good selection of\nmineral specimens for our various\nC.
