_
i
A cablegram lias been received!
here ordering I be temporary clos- :
ing down of development work on 1
the property of Ihe Alice Mines j
Co., Ltd., situated on Slump bay. j
The closing down is due In a law i
soil between It. C. Mathews, one of !
Ihe promoters of Ihe company.1
and C. <i. Van 'Hook, a Vancouver i
broker, who purchased a large j
block of Ihe company's slock from !
M. I,. McAllister, one of the orig
inal owners, and threw il upon j
the market al id cents a share'
when the slock was selling al one j
dollar.
The companv was capitalized j
al $-'00,000, a very low figure, and
the breaking of the market sug- j
gesf d to the managers Ihe advis- i
ability of closing down until mat- !
tors would adjust themselves.
The Alice property is one of the
most promising leads in this sec
tion of the country and develop
ment has tended to show its perm
anency and that Ihe values car
ried with depth. A most complete
plant for development purposes
has been installed on the ground
"by which rapid headway was be
ing made in opening up Ihe prop
erly.
The work has been in charge of
\V. J. Callaghan, a most, exper
ienced miner, who has made good
from I he moment he look charge
of the property. The work done is
of a permanent nature, a double
compartment, shaft having been
sunk over 100 feet below sea level.
Recently Mr. Cryl Bee, a mining
expert, made a thorough examina
tion of the properly and pronoun
ced it one of the most promis
ing prospects he had ever seen
and said that the development
work was just what it should be,
corroborating Mr. llaagan, of
Vancouver, who had previously
examined the property. Its loca
tion is ideal, being situated on the
water’s edge in a protected cove,
where large vessels can approach
close to shore. Those managing
the affairs of the company are all
well known and respected citizens
of British Columbia. It is sin
cerely to he hoped that work will
be resumed on these properties in
I he near future.
II, is worth while taking a
chance on the 880(1 diamond ring
being raffled at Plant & Com
pany's, jewelers.
The Eagles decoral ing commit -
lee is busy doing some artistic
stunts for the big masquerade
hall.
To tha Public.
Wo hereby announce that we
have retired from the banking
business and have transferred
our banking department to the
Valdez Bank & Trust company,
for whom we bespeak the good
will of the public.
