Noted Geologist Report of the Bellevue Mine Mr. J. F. Crossland, the celebrated geologist of Vancouver, who returned from the Bellevue Mine, on the Illiance , River, on Saturday last, reports that the Bellevue mine is a promising looking property, and warrants some further exploration work. Future development will be done on the lower claim, where there are good showings, and the formation is more settled than higher up where all previous work has been done. The showing on the lower claim has been traced for 60 feet and is 30 feet wide, dipping into the hill at' an angle of 70 degrees, and a tunnel will be driven close to the river to strike the ore at depth. The development work at the present time consists of a tunnel 230 feet in length, and two drifts leading from the main tunnel, one being 38 feet and the other 30 feet, with two short crosscuts at the head of the drifts, about 12 feet mi length. Mr. Crossland made an extensive examination of the entire country, being up as far as the Glacier View where he examined some high grade leads, which will some day prove very profitable when roaijs and trails are built in. His examination has proved that the ore occurs in quartzite, which is cut by diorite dykes and intrusive dykes of porphrhy all through the country. The mineral belt is roughly four miles long and one mile wide, running north and south, and is out off on the east by Argill- ite, and on the north-west by Tertiery flows of Rhyolite. Some very rioh specimens of float are being continually pioked- up over the entire zone, proving that, rioh leads exist, waiting to be found. Mr. Crossland is very enthusiastic with the work done by Mr. A. J. Hughes, who has charge of the operations, and states that great eredit is due to him for the manner in which he has established camps and conduoted the work, under the difficult conditions which the Illiance River section of the country presents, Baseball Game between the Veterens of Anyox The game between the. "Cave Men" from the mine and the "Dreadnoughts" from the beach. on Saturday, July 23rd, was a huge success, both as an entertainment and as an exhibition of how the old boys oan play the game.

Apply Box 33, Alice Arm. The Cavemen came off ahead with the score somewhere about 25! to 30, but they were not carrying so many years in age or so many pounds in weight as the Dreadnoughts. John McGraw Hageman is some pitcher and batter, and the way he cantered round the bases won the hearts of all. , Charlie Wing; on first base was a wonder, he did not let many slip by. Dillon ought to step in and pitch a few for the gas eaters. Sam Down and Parsons are some base i runners. Charlie Gray says the surfaoe of the ground is too far from his belt line. The little round thing always got past his feet before he got down to it. The batters would never bat the ball into Bill Hoffman,s mitt. They always passed over his shoulder or under his armpit. Harry Chapman sat down on a base runner, and stayed there until he pulled an extra ball out of his pocket to tag his man with. Pretty tricky i Harry, but the umpo had his eagle eye on you. It did not work.

They were all good batters on both sides, as the soores show, but the cavemen took a mean advantage, they had a ' Hatt" on the field that never failed to catch anything that oame his way. The mine team have a second baseman in Tuttle. Nord as a Catcher is also worth watching. Nelson and Campbell are fast on base running and the -whole team are strong at bat. Sixteen runs at one innings is going some. Both the spectators and the players enjoyed the game, and everyone had a real good time.

Canadian citizens only were allowed to vote. The total number of votes cast at the mine and beach went 455. In favor of Liquor Store, 314 Against " " 141 Majority 173 Jasper Park Baseball Team to Play in Anyox The Jasper Park Baseball Team who are making a trip playing in1 the towns along the Canadian National Railway from Jasper to Prince Rupert, will play a series of three games in Anyox, on August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. It is hoped that a good crowd will turn out and give the visitors, a good reception, and root for Anyox. The teams to represent Anyox will be selected from the following players: Ferguson, Draudson, Fitzpatrick, Thomas, Down, Cody, Mealey, Cy. Greenwell, Geo. Greenwell, Brown, Carlson, Bagwell, Haverty, Mattix, Kirk and Sherman. Mrs. Chas. Gray, of Anyox, is visiting here with two of her boys, the other two are with the cubs, who are camping here. Mr. McDermaid and Mr. McGuire arrived home on Monday. . Hughie McLennan came in on Monday's boat, and was busy renewing acquaintances. He left here last fall and spent the winter at his old home in Toronto. He has been in Prince Rupert since last May. Mr. A. L. Shanbeck, left on Monday, for Prince Rupert, where he will be engaged on the big Government warehouse. It is reported that the painters here have gone on strike. Probably due to the good fishing. Morley Shier, representative of the Giant Powder Co., arrived in town on Monday. Capt. A. C. H. Gerhardi, of the Homestake Mining Co., arrived from Vancouver, on Thursday. Mrs. Eric Anderson, and Miss Lund- mark, wljo were camping at Silver City, are now camping in Mr. Buckley's cabin. Campers are filling up all the vacant houses and tents, some bring their own tents and do their cooking outside in true camper's style. THE MAN AROUND T0WN: The Elks and the smelter played' a good game of football, on Wednesday, the Elks winning 3-0. There was no game on Thursday, on account of the rain. On Friday night the mine and the smelter played football. The mine bringing home the bacon. Score 3-1. Brown was apparently the only man on the job for the smelter. His playing was good but he had no support from his team mates. The mine played a good consistent game all through; their passing being the feature of the game. Their half back will bear watching. He is a little bit the best we have seen in Anyox for a long time. The Elks will have to look out for their next game. On Saturday, the Pioneers of the beach, played a game of baseball with the Pioneer Dreadnoughts of the mine. The game was sensational from start to finish. Our General Manager umpired . the game, with Dr. Borsdale on the base lines. Hageman .and Dillon pitched for the beach, with Wade Wetmore as catcher. The mine pitchers were Gigot and Glen Rash with Max Nord behind the bat. John Hageman's deliveries were a marvel, whilst Dillon's spit ball put Emile Loeske's well in the shade. Gigot was hit all over the lot (at times,) but it took Glen Rash to break down John's pioneers. Charlie Wing on 1st, base surprised everyone. You're there Charlie. Poor Chapman on 3rd. base got some;of his own medicine back from Sherman and his supporters; but his playing was so sensational that the mine have turned down "Hard Winter" and signed Harry on' instead. Charlie Gray was good at short stop. He stopped everything after it had gone by him. Apart from that his playing wqs air tight. Tuttle for the mine made the best hit of the game, while Max Nord behind the bat woidd put riiany a younger man to shame. The score finally ended 30 to 25 against the beach, and the mine carried away the loving cup. presented by the store. But this is not the end of it all. There is to be another game, and then— On Sunday, the Elks and smelter played the tie off game at baseball, the Elks winning 7-3. Draudson and Downs pitched for the Elks and Fitzpatrick and Fitzpatrick for the smelter. We have a witty friend from the mine, who roots at all the games. He is a real commedian and is good medicine for anyone with the blues. Continued on page 4.

Now that the reserves on coal lands has been lifted by the Government, interest is again being taken by eastern capitalists in the extensive coal lands of the Groundhog country, laying to the north of us. It is certain that a railroad will be built to tidewater, sometime in the future, to transport the coal, and it is very probable that Alice Arm may be selected as the terminus. We have 18 miles of railroad already built, and in operation, from tidewater to the Dolly Varden mine; two more miles graded, and five miles more of easy grading to be completed to carry it to the Kitsault Glacier. From there across to the Naas River is only a distance of about 20 miles, the railroad would then follow the Naas River right into the Groundhog coal fields, making an easy water grade all through, except for the few miles between the Kitsault and Naas Rivers. Survey lines will probably be run to various other points on the coast, but there is no doubt that if a survey line is run from Alice Arm to the Groundhog coal fields, that Alice Arm will be the terminus chosen. We have five miles of water- frontage on each side of the bay, with a depth of water capable of berthing the largest vessel afloat, and we have one of the finest landlocked harbors in the world. It is up to the citizens of Alice Arm to place the advantages of this town and harbor before the Railroad Co., when survey lines are being run. The town of Alice Arm will then have an equal chance with any port on the coast, and if this route is the cheapest to construct, and the most easily operated we shall have the terminus here. If we want anything we have got to go after it, if we don't want the town to grow, all we have to do is to let our chances slide, and some other more progressive town will reap the benefit. Another thing to bear in mind is that the oil of the vast interior has got to have an outlet to the coast at some future date. Oil is being struck at several points in the interior, and in a short time pipe lines will be built to bring the oil to the coast. As we stated above; we have at least 10 miles of water- frontage, and there is ample ground behind it to build coal bunkers, oil tanks and refineries to hold all the coal and oil in Canada. It is up to us to get busy. A community is exactly like an individual, if we don't work, we don't get anything. The Silver Outlook. The Mining and Engineering Record of Vancouver, in commenting on the outlook for silver says that the outlook is not very satisfactory, and it is probable that the price will remain around 60c. The American Government has already bought up a third of the silver under the Pittman Act, for which the treasury was authorised to pay $1.00 per oz. The other two thirds will be used up within the current year, when the Pitt- man Act will automatically cease to operated There is, however, a possibility the Act may not be exercised to the limit, as there is an active demand in the east for its repeal, on the very reasonable ground that the United States Treasury should buy its silver at the market value in the same way as any other purchaser. The Pitt- man Act has helped the silver market by keeping American silver from competition with the production of the rest of the world, and when American silver has to be sold in the outside bullion market it will have a weakening effect on the price. The London price of silver rules I lie world, and that price is mainly based on the demand from India. That demand has been lessened by the recent treasury orders which have had the effect of placing India on a gold basis; and by the government order that public payments be made in bank paper instead of bullion or silver coinage. China is said to be a seller of silver rather than a buyer. On the other hand the arrangements being made for the establishment of a mint of large coinage capacity in China will era ate a new market which will probably absorb the present surplus, and again make China a buyer of silver. The gross value of the mineral production of the province for the year 1920, was $35,543,084, an in. crease over that of the preceding year of $2,246,771, or equivalent to an increase of about 7 per cent. It is extremely gratifying that British Columbia's mining industry has been so well maintained, notwithstanding the fluctuating metal market, and despite generally unsettled conditions. Work on the Premier tramline at Stewart, is being pushed with all possible speed with the expectation of having it completed before,ihe first snow of next winter] One hundred and forty men are now on the job. The ordinary towers between the wharf and Fish creek, a distance of about 5 miles, are all up, and the double tension station No. .1, the double anchor station No. 1, and the Fish creek' angle station, are practically completed. The Fish creek station contains between 30,000 and 40,000 feet of timber. Work of blasting out the foundation for the angle station on the hill above M. R. Jamieson's residence is now in progress. Seventy ore buckets have been delivered at the mine, and a quantity of the tram cable has been laid on the right of way. Work going on at the Homestake Mine Work is progressing very satisfactorily at the Homestake mine, situated at the Kitsault glacier. All supplies have been freighted in, and the camps built. The tunnel has been faced-up, and hand drilling will probably be used until the compressor plant is installed.

DOLLY VARDEN MINE SHIPPING ORE The high grade ore of the Dolly Varden Mine is now rolling down to the ore blinker* on. the wharf in a continual stream. Only one train is being used at present, making a trip every other day. The ore now coming down is some of the finest shipped from the mine. 320 tons were shipped to Anyox smelter last Saturday, and 700 cases of powder for the Granby Co. at Anyox were also shipped on the same scow. There are now 500 cases of powder left at the mine, which will be sufficient to carry on development work until next spring. Some stripping work on the leads above the present workings at the Dolly Varden Mine, is being carried on. This is the time when the mining business is dull, for investors and operators to get in and secure new properties, and to .carry on their development in readiness for the good times ooming. The mining industry is in for the most prosperous years in (its history, and those who are ready to take advantage of it will reap the reward of their foresight and enterprise.— Mining and Engineering Record.

FIRE AT HYDER WIPES OUT THE BEACH HOTEL Just after the Herald was off the press last Saturday morning, word was received in Alice Arm that the Beach Hotel at Hyder was completely gutted by fire in the early hours of Saturday morning, shortly after midnight and that one man had lost his life. The outbreak of fire was discovered shortly after midnight in the upper storey of the hotel. The Haines spread rapidly and a man named Fred Card was apparently unable to escape, for his oharred remains were later discovered among the debris The building was completely gutted and total disaster to the remaining part of the town was avoided by the free use of dynamite in destroying the small buildings adjoining.

Jack Cody pitched for the Elks, and Loeske the spit ball artist for the smelter. His spit balls were helpless at the hands of the Elks however, and he was knocked all over the lot. Bagwell hit a three bagger but was called out. We think' the umpire made a grave error that time. There was far too much crabbing" over the game. It should be stopped for it is needless altogether. Up till now this series has been going fine. Why not keep up she good work, ' The Elks Lodge held their usual meeting, on Monday evening, and are making great preparations for the kiddies on August 3rd.
