A Fine Success
Achieved With
Flower Dance

The Flower, Dance last Friday
night. was the biggest success
of the season from every stand
point. The night was an ideal
one and the attendance was ex-
ceptionallyY good, many from out
side points being present which
more than made up-for a falling
off of local attendance. The hall
was beautifully decorated with
cut flowers of many varieties,
and many favorable comments
were heard. The floor was in
fine shape and the refreshments
were better than the average,
Gazeley’s orchestra of Smithers
furnished musie that was enjoy-
ee by everyone and they were
very fenorous with it. The only
regrettable feature was that the
men far outnumbered the ladies.
The dance was given bv the New
Hazelton members of the Hospit-
al Auxiliary for the. benefit df the
auxiliary funds. Much credit is
due the ladies who did the work
that made it a success,

a Fairly Hard
Trip in Wilds

Douglas Lay returned recently
from a trip which he says was
rather hard. He went down to
Ocean Falls and hit inland from
there with three men, three packs
and one blanket. They were out
21 days and it rained 22 days.
They went tirotagh unsurveyed,

uffexplored ‘and an uninhabited
country, reaching Eutsuk Lake
with one cold bannock jeft in the
cook’s gallev and a two days’ trip.
by raft to where’ they hoped to
meet friends and get supplies.
Thev were one day late, buta
hot mulligan- was waiting for
them. Had they had two cold
bannocks they would have been:
on time.

Douglas Lay-is the resident en-
zineer with the provincia) depart-
ment of mines. He is something
of an explorer and a brute for
work. When he is going he is
happy—wet, parched, hungry or-
scared, it’s allthesame. He has
covered a lot of country and he
has not, missed much in the dis-
tricts he has covered. From the
Dean channel te Eutsuk lake is'a
country he described as one of .
the most promising. for a pros-
pector to while away his time and
dream his dreams of ungotten
gold. Probably next year a pack
trail will be built through that
country as sort of a come-on to
the prospector.

But hold on a minute! Listen
to Mr. Lay’s advice, not only
what he gives now, but what he
has often given before, ‘First
Prospret close in; around local
hills, on the Babines and in the
foothills of the Babine range,
Don’t get so far away that trans-
portation is out of the question, .
while the stranger comes in and
picks off the rich stuff along the
railwav,’”?

Mr. Lay is well pleased with
the progress being, made this
year in mining in his district and
he looks for good results, He is
of the opinion that some high
frade is going to be found be- .
tween Telkwa and Babine lake,
The Topley discovery only adds
significance to his belief. High
grade has been found on Mineral
Hill and at Babine.
