ANY0X NOW GHOST TOWN Resuscitation of the Corpse See m Not at all Likely at Present Just one of hundreds of ghost ;owns on this continent, Anyox has lost all its life, Its activity, usefuness. It Ls now a huge lunkshop from which the Con-xilidated Mining & Smelting Company draws supplies to help carry its other activities. In visiting Anyox this week I ' vas anxious not so much to see to feel what a ghost town was like. I was directed to the bunk-house at the other end of thu town by Mr. Evans, who represents ihe Consolidated there now. But there were bunhouses everywhere and all of them seemed to be empty. No sign of life. There was no one In sight from whom to Inquire I was lost amid the emptiness of the place. At last I spied smoke coming rom a small building and, mak- ng my way to it, I found It wa3 the mess house for the remaining roup of mechanics who were dismantling some of the machinery. Charlie, the Chinese cook, m there and he directed me to one the smaller bunkhousea whe j 'jhe men sojourned. I was allott " l number 47, a room opening on a balcony. It had two beds, clean sheets, electric light ftnd heat, so I remained and felt mv- Iself fortunate in securing so plea - ant and useful a place to spend a couple of days. The building was constructed of concrete so, both walls and flo. were concrete, the latter being cold to ithe feet but, as the electric stove was going night and day, It, was pleasant enough. The men at thejnes3i allowpd me to join them, paying a very reasonable fee for meals. Charlie was a good cook and there seemed no lack of luxuries such as grapefruit for breakfast and fresh celery for dinner. Food and compan ionship were excellent, the only lack being the one common to most mining towns, that of fresh milk. I was told that the cast cT the mess to each man was only about $22 a month. From The Hill . . I climbed the hill at the back of the smelter and looked down at the huge work now idle. It seemed to me that the town was .corpse and the few men there were undertakers slowly disposing of the remains. The communltv that once occupied the houses, the bunkhouses, the apartments and hotel were now doing their stuff elsewhere, itlny puppets . on the human stage. The movie theatre, the bowling alleys, the tennis (courts, the golf course, all were deserted and the footsteps of the intruder echoed and re-echoed In the solitude. The only ones lett carrying on their regular duties are the government agent, the postmaster, the storekeeper, the provincial constable, , the coroner and the United Church minister All of these will probably be moved soon. During my trip I have visited several points of interest and in each there have been evidences of growth, of development, in soma cases of resuscitation but in Anyox there ls not the sllghest sign of hope. The town ls dead and it looks as if it will remain dead, foe some time to come. 'True, the IV?56 ma OTm? to life but Jiut now the resurrection day looks tto be a long way off. The corose has begun to decay and only a few ,of its gold teeth are being skill fully removed. H. F; P.
