PHONE 771 BIG THINGS ALICE ARM ! Coming Year Is Expected To Be One Northern Camp The past year has been a prosperous one for this district, and the coming year promises to be equally prosperous and will probably exceed 1929, says the Alice Arm Herald, The big plant of the Oranby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co. has been run uninterruptedly throughout the year. A record production of copper has been made. The price of copper has been maintained far above the average, and the close of 1929 finds the Oranby Co. in a strong financial position. Due' to the high price of copper, wages have been higher than In previous years, and everyone in Anyox has been more prosperous during 1929 than ha3 been the case for a long time. The trend of the copper market Indicates that 1939 will be equally prosperous both for the Oranby Co. and their employees. Britannia Active During the present year the Britannia Mining St Smelting Co. have entered this district. They are slowly consolidating their position in developing properties in the upper Kltsault country. All reports of their operations indicate that so far success has rewarded their efforts. Two of the largest and most successful mining companies of British Columbia are now operating In this district, and it is prob-ible that 1939 will see the Influx of other mining companies, both large and small. The coming year will see an ex-'ension of the operations of the Britannia Co. It will also witness the transformation of Alice Arm into a beautiful well laid out town, now I hat the Indian reserve question has been settled. A commencement of construction of an auto road which vil! ultimately connect Alice Arm with Hazelton Is almost certain to ie undertaken. Following a period f dormancy. Alice Arm Is on the eve of big developments, and 1930 vill witness the commencement of an Indefinite period of prosperity.

Canada's First Woman Doctor TORONTO, Jan. 2: Courage and a determination to blaze a trail won for Dr. Augusta Stowe Oullen the honor of being the first woman physician to graduate from a Canadian university. But it was her gallant spirit, her wholly charming personality and her deep love for her fellowmen that earned for her the sincere warmth of affection and devotlor which marked the gathering of distinguished members of the medical profession at the Academy of medicine, when her portrait: painted by Allan Barr. was presented to the Academy by the Medical Alumnae. "Here In our own country," said Dr. Ouest. "we find that there was born at South Norwich. lOnt., in 1831. a little girl, who I later oecame Mrs. Emily Howard stowe, a woman or great force of character, undaunted courage, and by temperament a pioneer, who, after proving herself the successful mother of three children, found her. thirst for an edu cation which would enable her to helo other mothers and children still so strong in her that she was Impelled to steal quietly across the border to the south of us, to a school of medicine where women were admitted as students." "In 1867 sne graduated and re- turned loyally to her native sou to serve her country women, but it was not until 1880 she was ad mitted a member of the College of Physicians and surgeons of On tario. when she became the first woman physician permitted of- , ianaaa. uunng mese years, sne 'and her only daughter, Augusta, I became inseparable pals, and with a spirit almost beyond the imagination of any but the true plo-ineer. she urged her daughter to follow the trail and to break ' through the early convention of .this country. And so it happened 'that just 50 yean ago this past I October, and one year' before her 'mother got her official license to practice a shy and sensitive young girl In her teens, collecting all the courage she could muster, went forth to register in the great friendless halls of the man-ln-, habited, college and she carried on though she admits wet lashes closed her eyes on many nights irom sneer loneliness, in 1883 sne graduated from our own Toronto School of Medicine, which at that time was affiliated with Victoria university. Tnr DAILT NEWS Thursday, January 2, 1030 News of the Mines AROUND PRINCE RUPERT Mandy Talks of Stikine and Atlin Districts; Dunwcll Suspends Work for Winter; New Salmon River Deal Six promising discoveries were made last season as a result of prospecting activity in the Stikin'd' River mining division, Dr. J. T. Mandy, resident mining engineer for the provincial government, reports. Three of these are chief ly of copper interest and three are mixed sulphides with predominating zinc, silver and lend values. "Much of the prospecting during the season,'' Dr. Mandy says,'might perhaps be termed a matter of elimination. A peculiar fea ture or tnc economic geology oi ine Stikine River proper Is that the coast range granite contact strikes into wi area in the form oi an inverted "S" with the bottom or easterly shank paralleling the Iskut River on its south bank, the central spine following due north for seventy miles along the east bank of the Stikine River and the top or westerly shank following the southerly dalnae area of the Clearwater River. This throws the seventy-mile stretch or the Stikine River between the Iskut and Clearwater Rivers practically entirely In granite and the Immediate vicinity of the Stikine proper between these nolnts not sufficiently distant from the main contact to be entirely favorable. The Iskut and Clearwater Rivers penetrate the marginal contact zone on the south and north of this Inverted "S" are ex ceptionally promising areas for ties In the Bear River district. It is reported that the Marmot River Gold Mines, Ltd., has taken a half interest in a copper-gold property on Vancouver Island and Is continuing investigations with a view to acquiring the balance. Work on the company's Portland Canal property has been shut down for the winter. The company Is negotiating for additional claims adjoin ing its Stewart noiaing. A strike recently made on the Silverado property at Stewart was much over-rated by unofficial reports, it is learned. The ore is low in value and not high grade as rumors had it. John Ronan, veteran northern mining man and former Alaskan Itgisiator. has secured an option on p-ospectlng. It to-ln these sections ; g jroup ln tne salmon Klver the Clearwater River that the most p.xmlsln? discoveries have been nile. The headwaters of the several streams that penetrate the 70-mile north and south region of the crnUct are equally as promising but less accessible. Placer gold operations ln the Dcase Lake area have been quite active. It Is necessary, however, to remark upon the ill-advised tendency that seems to prevail to undertake extensive preparatory work of excavating ditches. Installing "ipe lines and flumes without at first ascertaining by drilling ore-test pitting the values of the ground it is proposed to work. There have been two or three sad experiences in the Dease Lake region on this account. I might site one Instance where 28,000 feet of ditcn Is being dug and 3000 feet of flume constructed without one single probe for valuation of the ground that will eventually be worked. Such jjp' operation Is hazardous in the extreme. "Notable in the Atlin reuion is the preparatory work on Boulder Creek by the Consolidated Mining baoin of the Portland Canal d 1st r let from P. E. Wilson and the Wood-oore estate. Mr. Ronan, who is associated with a number of prominent e.T3t;rn mining men, proposes f enlist then in the development of the property and expects to start operations next spring on a new and 'c-iy promising ore showing found ."ist summer by the late Dan Wood-more. Details of the bonding deal have not yet been made public. Silver Crest Ore Shipmen Returns of $56.20, Chiefly In Silver and Lead, Are Given A ahlpthent of ore recently made from the Saddle property at Hastings' Arm by the Silver Crest Mining Cor gave returns of $56 JO per ton. The values consisted chief lv of 28.90 ocs. silver and 54.1 lead, with small gold and copper content. Th trial chinmont ' na itrninn.

The ground Is stated to have been prospected by drilling. On Pine Creek and McKee Creek, the Discovery Mining St Power Co. and the Delta Gold Mining Co. are prospecting tor ow river channels. and smelting charges were about $8 per ton. Cost of mining and conveying over the company tramway was less than $5 per ton. Now that success has been obtain-eH m Shipping ore. large shipments may be looked for next summer.

YOUR MW YEAR RESOLUTIONS Numerous and varied are the resolutions made at the beginning of every year. Ninety per cent of such resolutions made are ln connection with one's own savings and budgeting income. Strange to say that while such resolutions are made in the best of intentions are seldom carried out to a finish. WHERE IS THE WEAKEST CHAIN? The answer Is that since these resolutions have no incentive to saving. LIFE INSURANCE HAS THAT INCENTIVE.
