A Rose Dance
Horse-Drawing
Friday Night

The Rose dance given by the
Woman’s Auxiliary to the Hazel-
ton Hospital last Fridav. evening
was @ very pleasant affair. The
attendance was very good and
the music and refreshments were
good. The refreshment -commit-
tee handled their work well, As
was to be expected the decora-
tions were wild roses and there
was a lotof them used. During
the evening the drawing took

the auxiliary by Dr. Wrinch and
the lucky number was held by
Mrs. Sawle, She donated the
animal to Rev. J, H. Young, not
that she had anything in particu-
lar against the parson, but as a
means of aiding him in his good
work, It is-a good saddle horse
and a "good driver dispite what
some of the disappointed youths
‘say.

[Sweeney Mt.
Country Ideal
For Prospecting

Douglas Lay, resident mining
engineer, returned Monday night
‘from a trip in to tne Sweeney
mountain country ‘where be saw
what he believes is a prospec-
tor’s paradise. He was unable
to.see much of the showings . on
ythe mountain on account of snow
but from a geological standpoint
he considers the country a most
promising one to prospect. He
enthused over the wonderful
chain of lakes and streams that
are navigatable for at least ten
ton boats. Prospeciors can _use
boats for 300 miles,

Speaking of the Sweeney pro-
perty he said that the question of
transportation was not a serious
one at all, Ore would. be taken.
off the mountain by aerial tram
to the river, thence by boat to
Ootsa Lake and then trucked to
the railway at Burns Lake. He
would estimate the cost at about °
$25 per ton. The richness of the -
ore would be an important fea-
ture to be considered.

In about.a month Mr. Lav is
going to visit the district again,
Xoing in. from Ocean Falls and
travel through “to* the country -
{South-of Ootsa Lake where, it is

has been discovered. - 8

’ That country will ‘eventually
be a great tourists rendezvous.
Mr, Lay has covered a great deal
of country in northern and cen-
tral British Columbia and each
new section he believes to be
more beautiful and more wonder-
ful than the last. ,

- Cedar Poles In Demand

The market for cedar poles and
piling is good and Retting better
and the country from New Haz-
elton west is: “invfor food times.
The Skeena river is at high water
at present but that-should last a
few days only, | Immense piles
of poles are on the river banks
ready to roll into the water as
890n as it is safe: Some eutiers
are now in the. bush, and many,
others will be on the job before
long. Fred Griffin is running his
truck two shifts and getting in a
lot of poles to the. depot. The
roads are in good shape for haul-
ing. It looks: like: a good sum-
