OUR A. B. HALL
McCarthy has one thing to
be proud of in its large and well
furnished assembly hall, for it is
a building that might be a credit
to a much larger town than ours.
But time and rough usage have
left their mark and prompt atten
tion should be given to some very
accessary repairs.
Up to the present time the
Pioneers of McCarthy have been
meeting all expenses in connect
ion with payments and up keep
on the building but their memo
orship is now very small audit!
is considerable of a financial str
ain on them to continue doing it.
The hall is given rent free lor all
public entertainments, dances,
ousket ball games, etc. so that no
I
revenue is derived from it to pay !
tor repairs. Under these circuin !
stances, then it is only proper!
that everyone interested should !
do his or her share to keep the
building in repair. If the citizens \
were approached on this mat er!
they would no donut respond.
Some two or three huridied
collars a re needed anu when the!
Pioneers c«»me aiouud for a sub'
sciipuon dig down and help. We
lnu.^t not let our i.all ;_o o ruin.
PRODUCTION IN
FAIRBANKS
R. C. Wood, manager of the
First National Bank, announces
that during the year 1924 the
institution handled gold bullion
valued at $894,182.74. Mr. Wood
states this sum exceeds last
year’s deposits by a substantial
margin. Not since 1919, a banner
year, have the mines produced
as much gold. Of the total amount
of gold deposited, $062,906.06 ea
me from the Fairbanks district
proper. Quartz mines on the
surrounding creek* yielded slig
htly more than three times as
much gold in 1924 as in 1923.

RICH VEIN SILVER
ALICE ARM CAMP
(Alaska Weekly)
The sensational mining news
of the ween, in the Northland,
comes from the Alice Ann distr
ict of Northern British Columbia
where the Homesfcake Mining
Company, operating on the Tox ic,
encountered a shoot of silver
ore, eighteen feet in width, which
carries values equal to those fou
nd in the famous Dolly Vardon
mine in the same locality. The
report was brought to Vancouv
er, B. C., this week by A. C. H
Gerardi, mining engineer, who
was in charge of the developm
exit work at the time of the rich
striae some ten days ago.
The Alice Arm Herald says
of the strike:
The report of the high grade
ore strike at the Toric Mine, wn i
ich we published last week, was j
vet ileal this week, when Mr. T. !
Tavener, at present in charge of !
the camp, came down from the
mine and left during the week
for Vancouver.
Mr. Traveller brought with
him out-of the best specimens of
silver ore that has reached town
being about sixteen inches, long
and eight inches wide. It is full
ui Hakes oi native silver, silver
sulphides, and also carries steel
galena. The sight of big ll ores of
native silver in:.do the old inters
gasp with astonishment and re j
call the days when the Dolly Va
in ©a was struck.
