MeGill Dan McDonald rambled into Smith- ers, the other day .with some fine look- ing ore from Decker Lake. Thig is from the “Golden ‘Glory’ . mineral claim ,owned by Robt. RB, Gerow of Burns Lake, one of the real old tmers in the northern interior, “Bob” says that the ore on the claims is at least as high grade, perhaps higher grade, than the name of the claim itsell,. This claim ig on the south-west side of Decker Lake, on o little creek that flows down into the lake nearly op- posite the Decker Lake railway sta- tion. It is only a matter of two miley from the station and Gerow says the ore can be got out for a_gollar 2 ton, ilelivered at the station. If-so it will give a great boost to the property as there are very few pining claims in. this or any other district htat have. sich advantges: to start with. All the showings are olong the ereek. 1 There are quite on number of claims here among the owners are Robert HH. Gerow, Donald M. Gerow, Jack McLean, George culp, Emery Dotson, ind Dan MeDondld. On Culp’s claim there Is one of the finest of water falls which has not only scenic attraction, but may become useful ag on water- power on a smnll scale, The mineral showings on this ereek (uli the finds have been on the creek itself) were known many years ago, and some work done on them.’ As long ago as 1018 a shipment of ore was made and. the results obtained are sald to lave been very satisfactory. But the part- ners tock te fighting among them- selves (so common-nn occurance) and after some discouragement the claims were abandoned. About three ‘years ugo they were again taken up, Matt. THnterand Bob Gerow being responsi- ble, Matt: Dropped out but Gerow is still golng strong and+looks forward to making a good thing out of It. Work has been carried on intermit- ow an dothers, The old tunnel on the claiins was cleaned out and some new open cuts made, The work has been greatly handicapped by a lack of mo- ney, This winter Gerow, Culp and Javk MeLean have been working away steadily nnd are getting cut a ecarload of ore for shipment. They already breve about eight tons of ore already on the dump: The most encouraging thing they have yet had was the ‘dis- covery -of a new find of good ore a month ago while carrying on this work The new discovery is on the “Goldei Glory” claim and it was some of this ore that McDonell was exhibiting. The sample was left with the local ehamber of mines and it will be sent to Vancouver for exhibition there. It is high grade ore and carries values in lead copper, zine and silver, per- haps gold as well. As returns lave not heen recelved from the samples sent for assny the values are not yet: 7 After having - lad a great deal of correspondence to ‘geet the Insurance | adjusted on her late husband, a wid: ow wrote? “I have had-so mich troub! over getting this money that I sonie times wish that my husband hada’ t “Pardon me ‘moment please,” ania “but be- fore beginning this work.

Ay Paris decrees our modes, Miss Moore decrees ‘the moldings of our present day youth, And having pro- perly fashioned the flapper of o year ago she now moves on, an dwith mag- ic touches draws forth from ever- changing life, the flapper graduute, She calls her the modern. We see the former queen of youth a flighty, flirtatious creature, perhaps -—metamorphosed into an up-to-dae, society. Still flighty s witnessed by tea party in a zeppelin, which comes to near tragic grief when it collides with a passing aeroplane; and still fli- rtntious in that she scoffs at the more serious-minded Jover-who would wenn: her from the frivilousness of her mod- rnistic pace, But with all a girl with brains enough to sense the dangers beyond the border lings of convention- alties and turn beck. That is the modern of Colleen’s pre- sent molding and we cannot but admit that. it is a better interpretation from Der of yore. There is nothing of a preachment in “We Moderns”, Israel Zangwell, the noted British novelist who- wrote the story designed it merely as a satire upon English flapperism. But. Zaug- well wrote of the immediate post-war period. John McCormack, who screen- ed the sory for Miss Moore, has trac- ed further into the evolutionary, if somewhat revolutionary reactions of present-day adolescence and found that since the writing, the flapper has pussed on and the modern has usurp- ed her throne. The flapper is dead, long Hve the modern. ; An excellent ‘supporting cast is seen with Miss Moore, including Claude Gil- lingwater, Jack Mulhall, Carl ‘Miller, Clarissa Selwynne, Cleve Moore and others, Being 1 picture of London Society life, the scenes are lald chiefly in the Hnglish metropolis and many of. them were actually filmed there, -Numer- shown.
