a supporter uf -cettain Canadian
mois being used in the flotation
process for the efficient saving of
‘metallic sulphides after the con-
centrator. He also extended valu-
able information, in regard to
arsenical ores where they contain
old and silver in commercial
svalues, The smelters are desir-
jous of getting these ores and will
ipay 80 cents per unit for the
arsenic. In this camp there are
wmany deposits of arsenic ore
ombined with sulphur and iron
(that carry gold in values ranging

om 50 cents to $68 per ton.

rsenical pyrite in this section is

ow receiving a great deal more

odies are developed some valu-

ble mines. may be discovered,. . -

an illness of some three weeks.
The deceased lady had been a

laboring with her husband in be-
half of the’ Anglican Church.
She made many friends in town
and district who regret exceed
ingly her demise. “ Archbishop

Had Fine Sport

Wm. Gow and Mrs. Gow re-
turned to their home at South
Hazelton Saturday morning from
their holiday east. At Burns
Lake they were joined by Gor-
don Wood, who, with Mr. Gow,
hunted moose in the Hutton dis-
trict and succeeded in getting a
fine specimen. Mr, Gow then
went on to the prairie and joined
Mrs. Gow as guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Constantine. They had
some good sport with ducks and
geese,

Made Extensive Trip .

A. M. Ruddy and Mrs. Ruddy,
of Burns Lake, returned to their
home Sunday last after spending
several months touring the con-
tinent. They left Burns Lake
by motor and went to California
and by train went to New York,
visiting numerous points en route.
They returned via Vancouver and
Prince Rupert. They report a
wonderful trip, but Andy thinks
he. still likes Burns Lake and
Northern British Columbia.

Hospital X-ray |
Plant Extended
--Further Work

At a meeting. of the advisory
board of the Hazelton Hospital
Monday night, Dr. Wrinch re-
ported that he had ordered quartz
lamp, the latest i improvement and
development of the Ultra-Violet
ray, This lamp is part of. the
X-ray equipment and brings the
Hazelton Hospital abreast with
the largest city hospitals: The
quartz lamp is especially valuable
in the treatnient of tuberculosis
and particularly when the glands,
bone, or abdomen are affected.

The many improvements to the
Hospital buildings are now about
completed and the buildings are
as good as new again, These
are the first repairs that have!
been made since the outbreak of
the war.and thus much more
money was required at this time
than if the repairs had been kept
up annually. ‘The amount ex-
pended will run close to $5,000.
The money was spent on new
roofs on the hospital, superin-
tendent’s residence, and care-
taker’s residence: painting roofs
and outside of buildings, some
painting in the hospital, an ad-
dition to the. superintendent's
office and living room, and a new
Silo at the barn,

This work has made a great
difference in the appearance of
the property and will lengthen
the years of its usefulness,

' Can Get Cheaper Lime

The directors of the Kitsum-
kalum Farmers’ Institute had
before them on Wednesday ‘an
offer from Telkwa of lime for soil
dressing. The analysis showed
98.9 per cent of calcium ecarbon-
ate, an extremely good one, and
the price asked would enable it
to be delivered to Terrace at a
figure away below the present
cost. The secretary was author-
ized to make further enquiries
into the matter. °

Quality of Ore
of North Seen
in Prizes Won

District Mining Engineer J. D.
Galloway has received the silver
medal won by the North Eastern
mining district at the Vaneouyer
Exhibition. This district sent
samples of the various ores that
are being mined or. are in the
prospect stage and was awarded
second prize. The samples came
from all parts of the district.

The gold medal was won by
the North West mining district,
over which Geo. Clothier has
supervision, —

Thus Northern British Colum-
bia eleaned up the mineral prizes
at Vancouver and should, asa
result, attract the mining capital-
ists. At the exhibition the
Northern display attracted great

attention, and again at the New

Westminster Fair, where the
Vancouver Chamber of Com-

‘merce displaved the ore.

Mother-Daughter, Banquet
The C.G.LT. of New Hazelton

put on a mother-and-daughter
banguet in the church on Satur-
day evening last, Nov. 8, and it
.was the success the -girls usually
‘achieve, in spite of the fact that
some of the boys got away with
the jelly and part of the salad
and pickles while the girls were
at home donning their glad rags.
Mrs, Victor Sansum was the
guest of the evening. The usual
toast list was run off and a good
time was spent,
