Union Church Musical Evening Draw Big Crowd On Friday evening, Maroh 26th. the seating capacity of tlie United Church was taxed to the limit, the oooasion being an entertainment under the auspices of that "live wire" organization known as the Ladies' Aid. The lirst part of the programme was musical and of an exceptional line quality. Mrs. J. Murdock, Mrs. C. Ruokhaber, Mrs. H. Ann- strong, Mrs. Tamkin and Mr. J. Mitchell, rendered vocal solos. Messrs. Evans and Owens of the Mine greatly pleased the audience with two vocal duets. Miss Leitch and Bonny Chapman played an instrumental duet. Mr. Wylie Grant ably rendered a violin solo. Mr. Dresser, Dr. Davies, Mrs. Kent and Miss Leitch acted as accompanists. Recitations by Jean Robertson and Kenneth Lawn were heartily encored. t The main feature of the evening was a humorous sketch "Sewing for the Heathen." This was splendidly produced. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Judd, the hostess.—Mrs. Patrick. Meely, the maid—Mrs. A. Roberts. The Rich Mrs. Powers—Mrs. Neil McLeod. Mrs. Chesty, the President—Mrs. H. Kirk. Grandma Gibbs—Mrs. J. Dunn. Mrs. Strong—Mrs. A. Crone. Mrs. Meeker—Mrs. J. Cloke. Mrs. Day—Mrs. Clay. Luella Huggins—Mrs. C. Mo Millan. During an interval in the programme, Mr. Mitchell very ably auctioned a quilt which had been made by members of the Ladies' Aid. Mrs. McAuley was highest bidder. |Coming Lecturer Holds Enviable Record On Wednesday next April 7th. lat 8.15 p.m. in the Recreation Hall •Walter McRaye the famous Canadian, orator traveller, and entertainer will give an interesting lecture. |His subject will be "Canadiauizing Danada" and reading from Canadian Poets. Mr. McRaye is witty, forceful liiid entertaining, and has made a reputation for himself from coast lo coast. His work has been given Iditorial prominence last year by Ihe Toronto Globe, Hamilton Spectator, Montreal La Press, St. John Telegraph and St. Thomas limes-Journal. No greater com- lliment has ever been paid a lublio man than that given Mr. McRaye by the Canadian Club of ft. Catharines who reengaged him >iree times in two weeks to address lem. J It is very gratifying to relate lie demand for tickets so far have pceeded expectations, and it looks I though the Hall will be filled to Ivpaoity. Many Mining Properties Will Operate at Alice Arm During Present Year Exceptionally Early Spring will Enable Operators to Commence Early. Number of Properties Operating Increasing Each Year All indications point to an early commencement of mining activity in the Alioe Arm district this year. The snowfall during the past winter has be i the lightest on record and the numerous companies planning operations will therefore be able to start much earlier than in former years. J. Wells, who is in charge of repair work on the Dolly Varden railway anticipates that the road will be open for traffic to the end of steel by April 18th. This date of completion, however, depends on the depth of snow at Camp 8. If the weather should turn colder and the snow is slow iii melting the work will be held up until the traok is clear. There is at present only '2\\ feet of snow at Camp 8. Iu addition to mining ooinpanies being able to get a much earlier start than formerly, it is interesting to note that a larger number of companies will operate in the district this year than in previous years, and much valuable development work is expected to be done before the snow flies next fall. Following is a list of the properties that will be developed during the coming summer. Dolly Varden: operated by Col. Victor Spencer and associates of Vancouver. Diamond drilling and tunnel work will be done. Toric: operated by the Consolidated Homestake Mining & Development Co. A 50-ton mill and ore hunkers will be constructed. Mill expected to be grinding ore by August. LaRose: operated by the LaRose Mining Co. Mining and shipping oi high grade ore will be carried on and development work undertaken". * Esperanza: operated by an Anyox syndicate, who will continue mining and shipping ore. Property may shortly be sold, in which case operations would be extended. Matilda: operated by the Kitsault River Mining & Develop ment Co. Further development of large ore bodies will be continued. A diamond drill may be installed. Sunset property: operated by the Keystone Mining Co. Development of knownlarge ore bodies will be carried out. A compressor plant will be installed to expediate operations. Speculator: operated by J. 0, Trethewey. It is near the LaRose, and development is expected to prove existence of considerable high grade ore. Devlin Zinc: operated by Anglo Belgian Mines Ltd. Development will consist of driving tunnels. Bellvue: operated by a Vancouver syndicate. Is in Illiance River valley, and extension of present tunnels will be undertaken. Wolf: operated by J. Fiva. Is near Esperanza. Shipment of high grade silver ore was made last fall. Tunnel is being driven at present. B Eagle: operated by G. W. Mc- Morris and associates of Vancouver Near the LaRose, contains some good showings of silver ore. With the exception of the Wolf, all of the above properties will be operated by outside.capital, and it is a pleasure to note that the majority of this money has been subscribed by British Columbians, who are realizing the advantages obtainable by developing their latent mineral wealth. In addition to the above mentioned, numerous properties will be developed by their owners, and* it is ■extremely probable that other properties will be bonded this year, by mining companies, and work commenced. Alice Arm is now receiving its merited attention, and the list of operating properties will grow each year. +>...»...».......+n.+.■■■»—+«•♦•►♦.«•■»«••»*■ ♦ J ANYOX NOTES \\ +♦+,»■»«•♦■»»•+■■' ♦■»■♦■■' 4'" ♦ *♦*♦« J.

High School & Gophers Win Basketball Championships The basketball season was brought to a close on Wednesday evening, 24th. with what proved to be three of best games staged at Beach Gymnasium this year. The Rupert "Maple Leafs" again defeated the Mine girls, but this time by. the narrow margin of one point. The local girls certainly deserved to win, after leading 10-7 at the start of the third period, but fate was against them and with the score tied at 11 all and a bare five seconds to go, two free throws were awarded the visitors, one of which found the net just as the final whistle blew. The local girls clearly demonstrated their superiority in combination play as compared to the visitors, but fell down sadly in their shooting throughout the series. Don McLeod handled the whistle in a highly satisfactory manner. Prince Rupert: Misses:Graliam-1 Lowe-7, C. Harvey-2, M. Harvey-2, Grant, Thompson, Stevens., Anyox: Misses: Deane-2, H.

The score was 33 to 22. The losers put up quite a struggle for the first twenty minutes, but were absolutely out of the picture during the second half. Luzorek was the high scorer with eleven points, closely followed by McLachlan and Swanson with 8 each. Swan'son netted some beautiful baskets From centre which helped ' materially iu his team's victory. McDonald was high scorer for the losers with eight points. High School: Swanson-8, Mc- Laohlan-8, Clay, Asimus-4, Lazorek •11, Lindgren, Johnson.

Senior championship, by a 22 16 count. The Miners started off with a rush running up 7 points before the champions hit their stride, but the latter soon overcame the lead and at half time were in front 14-11. Upon resumption of the play the losers made a gallant attempt to catch up, but unfortunately they lost the services of two regulars through unavoidable accidents and in consequence lost their chance of winning also.

E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. The editorial referring, to revival of mining in the Alice Arm district, recently published in the Portland Canal News, was a nice pat on the back for those who had enough confidence in the camp to carry on during the past five lean years. It is true that a number of us have faced a large number of obstacles during recent years which sometimes seemed to be insurmountable, but that is the spirit that has laid the foundations of the present mighty British Empire. Its sons knows not defeat and the gloomier the outlook the greater is the determination to hang on until the tide turns and fortune smiles once again, There are always a number of ''fair weather" fellows, who flit from one camp to another, always trying to get in on the ground floor of a boom town, and leaving as quick as does a rat from a burning ship, if a slight depression comes along. Mining camps are not developed by this class of fine weather flyers, but by those who have the backbone, grit and perseverence to carry on in spite of all obstacles, and finally win out. A mining camp is not the place for a person who lacks optimism or vision, such a man should never have left the old homestead, but should still be herding sheep on some barren hillside. Alice Arm is emerging from its quiet period, and those whose confidence refused to be shaken will shortly win the result of their perseverence. Each year will witness a big increase iamining activity and the tenacity of a few will be instrumental in producing another big camp, which will, in the years to come, bestow her vast mining wealth into the eager lap of the world. "Fire is a terrible drain on our forest resources, which become less and less each year. Replanting cannot replace the loss within the space of centuries. Intelligent forestry and forest protection will help reduce the ravages of this fire scourge, but the co-operation of every citizen who goes into the wild places is necessary." Americans Praise B. C. Mining Laws Sixty tons of mining machinery belonging to the Allotte Mining Corporation of Seattle is now on the way into the Omineca country via Vanderhoof. The Amerioan engineer managed to get as far as Fort St. James with their heavy consignment, but with the disappearance of the snow they were unable to progress. The matter was then taken up with the B. C. provincial government whioh sent in a large gang of men and several tractors to out a 120-mile road into the mineral country, which work is now being done. "This government co-operation was commented upon by the members of the Seattle Mining Club," says R. C. W. Lett of the C. N. R. natural resources department, who has just returned from a tour of the coastal states. He says that the American mining men consider the B. C. mining laws to be the best in America, and he found them much interested in Canadian minerals, though little was known of the northern Alberta oil field until the C. N. R. officials brought the subject up before the various groups he addressed. H. M. SELFE REGISTERED OPTOMETRIST ANYOX HARRY SMITH LIMITED REAL ESTATE For Information Write Us P, O.

Ltd. shortly will increase its dividends from 6 to 12 per cent, while bonuses in addition to dividends are looked for. Earnings have been greatly augmented during the past year, and the balance sheet for the twelve months is reported to show earnings of approximately $8,000,000—a 100% gain on 1924 revenues. The Trail smelter largely depends for its ore on the Sullivan mine, with a very substantial amount also from oilier parts of the distriot. principally the Slooan. Next to the Sullivan, the Silversmith at Sandon leads the list, followed by the Bluebell, Luoky Jim, Bosun, Ruth-Hope, Galena Farm, McAllister, Whitewater, Paradise and many others; in fact the total number of properties on the shipping list is about 62, which gives :\\ fair idea of the wide spread aotivit ies, especially when it is considered that there are at least as many again which are undergoing development and*exploration. Thirty per cent increase in the oapacity of the Sullivan concentrator is the object of a development programme just put in operation, acoording to A. G. Langley, resident engineer for the Kootenay district. When the new work is completed, the Sullivan will employ 1,000 men or more, milling 4,000 tons of ore daily. The ore bodies which are considered to be replacement deposits in quartzite, are immense. Mining Company of Stewart Wins Suit The appeal in the case Victoria Improvement Co. against the Prince John Mining Co. Ltd., was dismissed by Mr. Justioe Gregory in the Supreme Court on Friday, March 12th. and the property ordered transferred to the defendant company, Prince John Mining Co. Ltd., as a result of which it is understood that a settlement has been readied between the contending oompanies and development work will be commenoed during the coining season. This has been a most interesting case, as it is generally understood that one of the olaims of the plaintiff, was that the defendants, Prince John Min- Co., had allowed their company free miner's certificate to expire. Crop Now Moving West A large percentage of the 1925 crop that remains unmarked is steadily moving to the Pacific coast, Canadian National Railways figures showing that arrivals at Vancouver from points along those lines averaging 116 cars daily during the first half of March. Total cars delivered at the western port at March 15th were 17,759, almost four times the number of cars 'sent to the western port during the previous entire grain season. Prairies Have Mildest Winter in 48 Years Manitoba Saskatchewan • and Alberta passed through the mildest, winter that that part of the Dominion has experienced in 48 years, iccording to the records of the meteorological office. The winters of 1877-78 still hold the record and was much milder than last winter. Alberta's Coal Yield Coal production in Alberta last year amounted to • 5,883,394 tons, an increase of 679,000 tons over 1924, according to the annual report of the provincial mines branch. The report also shows that 1,148 tons of tar sands were taken from the Waterways district during the shipment. The total employment in coal mines in the province was 11,175.
