The Royal, with Its system of over 750 branches throughout Canada, covers every section of the country, and It is understood that the evi dence of more favorable business condition. was general in practically every province. The profit and loss account shows that profits for the year, after making full provision for bad and doubtful debts, amounted to 11.516,239. compared with $1,081,828 at the end of the previous year, a gain of close to half a million.

Early In October, four mining properties situated In the upper Kltsault country were bonded by Col. Victor Spencer and associates of Vancouver. The total number of claims bonded were fifteen and two fractions, and the bonding price was tn the neighborhood of 1400.000. It was at first planned to drive a development 'tunnel on both the Vanguard and Red Point, but owing to the lateness of the season, the Vanguard project was dropped. A tunnel, to be at least 500 feet In length was commenced on the Red Point, and this work will be carried on throughout the winter with all possible sped. As early las possible In the New Tear the otiier three properties will be developed on an Industry of the 'district. DKVIXOP.MENT ttOKK In addition to the above mentioned properties, a large amount of development work was done by individual owners with excellent results. From a mining engineer's standpoint regarding ore showings, both surface and under ground, the district never was better. Alice ' Arm possesses enormous ore showings, which have not deteriorated when tapped at depth, and when further depth Is attained the camp wilt rank among the continent's btg producers. The past year has been successful In Increasing the ore reserves, and the future will undoubtedly" witness the same procedure on a much larger scale. Good fortune also smiled on Anyox during the past year, and the big copper producing plant of the Empire not only Increased their output considerably but also substantially reduced their operating costs. During the first nine (Silver values. This output shatters all records and give an Idea of what can jbe accomplished when a mlnlcg company has ample funds for development and construction as did the Oranby Co. when ihey bonded the Hidden Creek mine. During the year the concentrating mill and sintering plant were considerably enlarged. Further development work was also undertaken on the Bonanza property, which may be operated during Ihe coming year. I.M'KriAE IV HOT Enlarged capacity of the concentrating ('" nd sintering plant will Increase the 1927 output, and the operation and iurther development of the Bonanza will undoubtedly ,mH..,M,, ,, add . considerably .,H...K, , to ... the ore . reserves of the Oranby Co, The coming year Is full of hope for the people of Anyox and the Oranby Ca. and present prospects Indlcste that the wheels of Industry will be turning In Anyox for a good many years to come.
