CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION
DATES BACK TO 354 A. ID

The celebration of the birth of
Christ, December 25th of each
year, took place in the Fourth
century, and the custom spread
from the western to the eastern
church. Before that date the
commemoration of Christ's ma
tivity and baptism took place
January 6.
First mention of Christmas is
found in a Roman document
known as the "Philocalian calen-
dar," in the year 354, and the
first English celebration of the
festival was 598, when st. Angus
tine baptized 10000 converts.
In SGT, the Council of Tours,
France, declared a 12-day feSti-
val from Christmas to Epiphany,
and later, from 991 to 1915, the
laws of Ethelred ordained that all
strife should cease at Christmas.
In Germany, Christmas was es-
tablished in 813 by the Synod of
Mainz, and in Norway by King
Hakon the Good, in $50.

Big Missouri
 Mining Within
 Mountain Core
B. C. Mines Inspector Says Aynox Is Being
 Prospected

A half a thousand ton ball mill. milling gold in the heart of a noun tain, in a great cavern carved out of solid rock, several hundred feet from the surface.
 That seemingly fantastic situation exists in the working of the Big Missouri gold mine near Hyder, ac- cording to Charles Graham, Ins- pector of Mines for Northern Brit ish Columbia.
 Graham, whose headquarters are in Prince Rupert, arrived in Juneau on the Princess Norah, and will ins- pect mining operations at Tulse- quah and Atlin. He recently made a trip to the HyderlStuart area at the head of Portland Canal
 Graham said operations began at the Big Missouri in mid March, with ball mill being installed that mills from 50 to 750 tons of ore a day.
 Approximately 60,000 yards of rock were taken out of the interior of the mine to make a cavern 200 feet long, 60 feet wide and 40 feet high to take care of the mill, and it is believed to be the first time a mill of such proportions was ever installed completely within the earth.
 Tt is done principally for econo- my in mining" Graham said. "A system of finger raises and griz- 2lies brings the ore directly ovef- head and down to the mill. And of course. there is an added advantage in having the mill underground to escape the heavy snows of the region that reach phenomenal depths"
 Graham explained that not only is the ore milled beneath the sur face, but it is also concentrated, treated with cyanide process and then refined to take the gold out
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-04-06

Thought of a complete mine be- heath the surface, in the center of mountain, with over a hundred men and thousands of dollars ;n machinery, working in the earth's bosom out of sight of man, is strange enough to most people.
 But even more remarkable to en- gineers is the fact that the ore is mined, milled and wholly treated inside the mountain and a relatively small shining gold brick is brought out of the tunnel as the reward Of gargantuan efforts.
 Graham also said that prospect ing work was being carried on again in the vast workings of the AnyoX copper mines, which were recently closed down shortly before the price of copper took new strength
