Death.Came as
Success Was in —
-Hands of Pyne

The" cnt through a ‘teti foot vein ‘ot
ure in the heart” of Thornhill moun-
tain—and. died with his’ boots on, * ©

That's what can be said of another |’
okt time prospector of, British Colum-
bia, and. describes. the last ‘achieve-

‘tment. of Johnston Kelly Pyne who was’

found dead in his eabin on the west
side of Thornhill last Friday.

It's forty years since he came to up-
per British Columbia to seek out the
mineral wealth.. He came from his
home in Brighton, Ont, a young man
of 28, und. spent the full vigor' of his
manhood ,und his declining years try-
ing to bring to light some of the min-
ern] resouurces of the Cascade moun-
tains. ,

Johnston K., Pyne was known °¢ up
and down the coast. “He prospected
aronnd -Butedale; he loented and ‘sold
eluims ayvound Kitimat, and after his
came into the Lakelse Valley
where he bougt the ald Brown work-
ings, a thousand feet above the road
and six miles from the village. Since
then, he has “bneked ‘his belief with
solid rock. A tunnel already went a
short distance into the mountain, and
with drill and hammer, powder, black-
smith forge and wheelbarrow he bored
his way in and still further in to seek
the vein from which came the high
erade float he found’ some distance
further.up the hill side. ;

As he worked he had to live. When
we found him his garden was flourish
ing. ‘The spring sunshine, reflected
from the surrounding rocks had
brought his ruhbarb patch along far
in advance of the ‘gardens in the val-
ley.’ His riot cetlar, ‘built-single-hand
ed last fall, still: had some vegetab-
les .in it aud the wood shed was all
stocked.up with wood-he had: dragged
up from ‘the valley, bottom.

Some me ago.as he went into the
mountain he hit a seam of ore. He
went through it--ten feet of it—and

when :we looked inte the end of the

workings there were fresh holes into
the far wall, holes stuffed ready for
charzes tu be put in and with the
touching off of the shots the begin-
nings of a quest for a vein he believed
was to be found still further in the
heart of the mountain.

About once a week Johnston Pyne
“Pine Johnston” as he was known to
the boys, made a trip to Terrace, six
miles each way and heavy snow to
tick in the winter. time.

Of lute be complained of ill health,
put in spite of this hé persisted in the
quest of the seam of gold-shot rock.,
Three days before he was found he
wis in town. Men. saw him as he re-
turned home, the lust time he was seen
wlive.

On Friday Heniy Sobels, was < trying
placer ground at the foot of the moun-
tain, where Thornhill creek ends its
mad rush down the step slopes to take

‘ld gentler course ‘for. the rest of the

run: to .the Skeena. Henry knew gold
had been found here, and he and J ohn
ston Pyne wanted to get something
definite on it. About eleven in the
morning. Henry went up the hill to the
enbin to have luneh with the old man.
He found the cabin door open; a cold
atill figure on the bed; Jdinston had
come in, snt down to rest, and as he
rested Hfe left him.

‘Henry made a quick trip to town,
and Cons. McKenney and ‘Coroner Waly
Robinson went out to investigate. ‘

on Friday: last, when,a. clearing, fire of.

out of’ band and- spread to. the -.old

work saved the old logging camp bulld-
ings and by Saturday morning the fire
was well.in hand. On Sunday after-
noon jt started up again in. some more
slash on the same place, but died ‘out
| when evening came. As this slash is
the only extensive fire -bazard near

ARE MAKING A MAPLE PARK

The Native ‘Sons of ‘Canada ‘are g0-
ing to Prov ide a Maple Park for Ter-
race. One day Jost’ week thay. hada
clearing bee and have got that small
piece of property below the old -reser-
voir from the municipality and when
the maple trees arrive for Geo. Liltie
the Native Sons will get a number of
them and plant the park. They pro-
pose to plant fairly thick to allow for
misses. This is a good move on the
part of the Native. Sons.

TRUCKS, ARE ALL BUSY ‘NOW

It isa tong time sineé traffic on the
streets of Terrace has been as heavy
as it is this. spring. From all diree-
tiona trucks are hauling in town loads
of Jogs for the saw. mills and shortly
Slim Jordon will have trucks on the
road hauling in his cedar poles. That
will be a job which will occupy most
of the summer if not right’ through to
late, fall. He has something over a
hundred thousand feet cut now and is
working a: fair. slzgd crew, | The saw
mills’are doing well and are gettlng’ in
some’ ordets all the -time.:

HE LOST AN IMPORTTANT ToorH

Terrace apples are ‘good apples and
apparently they -have.. remarkable
keeping qualities. Will Robinson, the
local representative of The Terrace
News, dnd who also permits a few. ap-
ple trees to grow on ‘his ranching en-
terprise which he conducts on the side,
hus some very fine keeping apples. In
the fall he puts them away nice and
crisp and juicy.. In the spring he can
tuke them out and they are more crisp
than when he put them away. He is
quite’an apple eater and he likes them
to make quite a noise when he bits into
them. But he will do that no mote.
One of his apples that he was eating
yecently made so much noise when he
bit into it that it knocked one of his
important teeth out and. that is not 90
good, Any apples he eats in future
will he of the soft, melow variety.

Terrace Ball »
Team Ready to.
Start Season'|:

The Terrace basebail team is away
to the vaces’ for 1934, The «annual
meeting was held on Wednesday night
of list week, and, although there was
not n great deal of surplus money in
the district last year the secretary-
treastver reported a substantial
credit balance in the bank, and ‘as a!
reward for his splendid service he was
permitted to retain that office at the
same remuneration, The other  offi-
cers elected were :— _

President-—L. Taft
- Vice-Pres.—H, M. Willson

Sec.-Treas,—D. K, Kerr

Muanager--Fred- Thomas.

“On Friday evening the, boys got out

on the grounds and started to clean ‘up
the winter's accumulation. A fair
number were present and quite an im-
provement to the grounds were made.
Practicing got started last night. and
anyone who wants to catch a place on
the team ure requested to be regular
at practice.
_ The team had quite a successful sea”
son last year and there is lots of ma-
terial on hand for a good team this
year, in fact quite the best the town
has ever had. The boys also want to
get new suits for the opening of the
senson and already plans are under
way to raise the necessary funds for
this purpose. |

It is contemplated that Usk will be
able to put up a much better team this
year and there will be some real con-
tests, and then the boys would Hke to
get games on with New Hazelton and
perhaps Smithers.

CAMPERS ARE ‘MAKING ‘READY

“Visitors to Lakelse Lake at the end
of the week looked over their sum-

mer cottages to see what repatrs will
be necessary on aceount of last fell’s
nich water. In some cases sand had
been washed in to the cabins, wall
paper was loosened and wood piles
are scattered hither and yon. Hovw-
ever, the followers of the simple sum-
mer. life delight in little things and a
enmp that does not need fixing in the
spring is considered too efete for the

an about town, Next week every-
thing will te homming about the lake.
