Mr John Douglass is reported to have bonded the "Mabie" in the Al- wood camp, Jioundury Mountain, for $50,000 to Mr. E. P. Sindhum, of Denver; This is one of the best developed claims in, the camp. The ore is very rich in ^'oldsulphurots. Mr. T. \V. Hardy's flour mill, on Fourth of July creek, which was shut down for two years till last fall, is still running. It was built four years ago, is worked by water power from Mr, Covert's irrigation ditch, and can grind two Lous per day. It funis out a very good sample of llour. Mr. J. Bowles is miller. The people of Oro have organized a great race meeting to bo held on the l.:t of May, The principal event will he a great matched race for a purse of $500 between Barney the well known Conconnlly rarer and Grey Dick of Looiniston, Most of the other events will be open fo all comers and as this is the first time for races to be held in Oril the attendance is expected to be large, especially from Lhjs side of the line. .Minor races will also take place on the 2::d,and ilrd.

Douglas is expected to return shortly to Boundary creek, accompag. ie,l by an expert lo examine the mines. He makes bis headquarters in Al- wood's camp, where he owns the Mable, Cornucopia, Oro and New Fork, The Mable is the best developed of these claims, on which two shafts S3 feet in depth have been sunk and over $1,000 expended, A considerable number of tiie fruit trees imported -into the Kettle River district last year have proved to be affected by the borer and other pests, if the horticultural laws of this Province are to be something better than a hollow mockery, a separate inspector or member of the board should be ap. pointed for the Okanagan district (including Kettle River) so its regulations can lie put into effect. 'The work commenced last winter by the settlers at the west end of Grand Prairie on the new three span bridge across the Kettle river, between Jfc Laren's and Spraggot's ranches is now Hearing completion, The total length is 1(H feet resting on two solid butt- rcsses, the stringers buing02ffcin length The bridge will accommodate ten families living on what is practically not ihal time to hold court at any more places than at present, This is a matter that should he remedied, as if is rather hard on settlers to travel long distances lo attend court, cither as litigants or witnesses. ,,,,,, ,, ,.'in island formed by the Kettle river.

The Grand Prairie valley, in which there are over ninety sottlers, has no store of any kind, though one is now being built at the new townsitc. At present all Ibe goods not imported direct from the States are purchased at a store just across the line on the Colville Reservation.

Advertising Rates sent mi application, INTRODUCTORY, In present in;,' lie' flrsj issue ofTlJE Advance to our leaders jvoembrace tho opportunity afforded us of thanking our many advertisers in fin; Upper and Lower Okanagan lor (be generous assistance Ujoj have rendered to our enterprise. Without giving vent to stereotyped promises we may wifely say that the people of the district can rest assured that no effort will be 'spared mi tho part of the publishers In continue to merit the .support and confidence of the public. It is always customary in the first issue of any paper to give a general outline of its proposed policy and as far as Tint' ADVANCE is concerned this can be done in a very few words, it will be our en- iiiStSbr as far as possible to represent the views and wishes of tho majority lit the residents in the districts from which we wdll derive our principal support. Both as regards questions affecting purclv local Interests and matters connected with Provincial politics we will make every effort, to reserve a thoroughly neutral attitude both towards the present Government, the Opposition and the so called indepen- tiant party. In Dominion politics as far us Provincial and especially mining 'and agricultural interests are affected Tiie Advance will be on the side of those who advocate a very material reduction of the tariff and a change in the present Bystom of government by monopolists, Boing (irmly of tho opinion that the interests of the Lower and Upper Okanagan are similar in every respect and that the development of the natural resources of either section is semi-dependent on a similar growth in the other, we will do our best to promote a broad minded spirit of friendliness between the two and advocate the interests of both. We may say in conclusion that this paper bus i.,,am established solely on account of our belief in Ibe future progress and prosperity of the district ami that we are in receipt of no bonus of any sort or kind from any source whatever BY WAY OP APOLtiqY. pwing to the fact that a considerable portion of our type and other material has not reached usj we have been unable to get out as good a shoot for our first issue as we originally expected and intended. We bone, however, shortly to jgsi'io a ini,gi,r sized paper and give it a more presentable appearance. Wo must ask our read- tii;,t tu' iui' unkl In their criticisims, as we have, found it difficult to publish at all under present circumstances. We have thought it preferable, however, to print Tire Advance in its present form than to delay publication any longer, The correspondent from Okanagan Mission, who signs himself "Missionary, " appears to us to take an ex- iromejy pessimistic view of (be present condition of agriculture and business generally in that section, Still there is undoubtedly a certain element of truth in the situation as he paints it, ^ ;s, Quite, beyond question that the practically prohibitive railway rates over the S. & 0. and C.P.R, discriminate strongly in favor of the Northwest and the Coast as against the interior of the Province. At the same time that corporation cannot in any manner be held responsible for the drop in the price of wdieat, hogs, eggs, or any other produce of any agricultural community. Such an assumption cannot lie proved, by any solid argument. Like every other portion of the civilized ;/ 'rid, the Okanagan country is suffering from commercial depression, and though times may be dull here, still they are not by any means as bad as ju niuny other portions of the continent,—e. g., the neighboring State of Washington. As far as the agricultural interests of (he Okanagan are inn'c.".i'nod Ibe want of reasonable frcjgjiij rates to a ready market, such as the coast cities, is certainly a heavy drawback, yet it cannot be denied that the solution of the problem depends fully us much on, landholders themselves as on the railway company, By subdividing the larger properties M;Si'];Vrt., now lying idle and nnpro- jlllf't V0i by depending less oh cattle and wheat, both of which find a strong competitor In the produce of the North' jvest territories, and by raising at least sufficient dairy produce to supply the district market [at present almost entirely supplied from Manitoba and Ontario) a great do's,1 can lie done to ameliorate the existing slide of trade and a large sum of liionny retained in this section, which at present is sent but of it to procure articles of consumption which could easily be pro Sliced in the district itself, In oilier Ivords, the produce raised should be adapted to the present market! " Missionary " certainly makes a strong print in recommending imp culture '•} better' paying enterprise than any yet entered into so far, us a reasonable rhrottgh freight lo Ibe London market. J k> licen secured, and Ibe fact that a splendid sample can be grown in Ibe Okanagan is now loo well known to be doubted by anyone. Tbe appointment recently made of Messrs. 'Kerr, McCalluni and Almond as lusticos of Hie peace will be received with satisfaction by the residents of Ibe Kettlo river district, The necessity of making such appoint mentswus long since pointed out to tho executive, as until within the past few months Ibe anomoly existed of the large district from Cascade City to Hock Creek being entirely unrepresented in Ibe district magistracy . There is little doubt that tho fact of the gazetted notice of the grunting of a long petitioned for rrtiuiroinont looses much of its charm on tho eve of a general decline , The account of Ibe Okanagan municipality question, which will be found in another column, is very different to what we have bit bcrfo, on very reliable authority, understood to be the case. We are glad, however, to lie able to give publicity to the views of the opponents of the idea with a view to hearing something of the oilier side of the case later on. Personally, we cannot understand that a progressive agricultural community like the people of the district surrounding Vernon should be content to have their local affairs managed for them at Victoria. The Coming Industry. A correspondent writing from the Upper Okiinagan, says ;■- It is satisfactory fo note that British Columbia hops ire appreciated in England, ami are found lo be superior to any imported into that country, and equal to the far-famed character of East Kent bops. In a letter from E.Norman &Co., Ltd., principal hop dealers in London, io High Commissioner Tupper, which was forwarded to our Lieut.-Governor, Mr. Norman says: " * * * Many of the sample lots of the past season's growth which have reached tins country have given great satisfaction, and many of our brewing friends have advised us that, subject to tbe East Kent character being maintained, tbe 13. 0, hops are lo be orflfOLTbd to any that are imported, aha, further, 'would carry all before them.' *" * * If the P. C. boo growers give the necessary care fo ()v curing of their bops, we urn of ibe opinion' that HiSy" would c6i'- tainly have preference over Calif oruian, which lattei have already a position on (he market," This industry Is, p.s yet. jn its infancy in this province, and it must be gratify! i g o> those w'ljo have made attempts in thai line tii knot/, that that the nop-; •' i bis province should attain to such a dogroo of quality and flavor as to receive such fovorab'.c comments by the largest dealers in the world, There is already quite an acreage of bops in the Okanagan, mid this will certainly lie increased to a considerable extent within a few years. Small farmers are watching with keen interest the progress and success of that industry, so far as already established, with a view to devoting an acreage to the same. A sample lot sent from Agassiz, B. C„ to Messrs. Bowel] &Co„ Loildon, one of the largest hop dealers in the United Kingdom, recojyedvery favorable mention, and to know that they were sold at prices equal to those realized for the Kent grown article is considered proof of the excellence of tbe quality. There are many varieties grown, but the variety glvlngiha great est yield is not always the inoit profit; able, for the reason that iuivoris the main point, For those who Intend trying their bund at hop raising, 1 would'advise them to communicate with Mr. A. St. George IJamersley, Pttpzie, near Agassi?/, P. 0„ who can give all information as to varieties, and whom I have not the least doubt would be pleased lo impart such information, BOUNDARY HOTEL BOUNDARY GREEK, KETTLE RIVER.

Nicholson left Pairview on ■Tuesday for Camp McKiuuey to open ,up Ins new store. Assessment work was completed lust .week on the Donor claim, the northwest extension of the Silver Bow, An open cut is being run on the August claim to strike the continuation of the main ledge on the Morning Star. As we go to press the stampinill lias just started again crushing a few tons flf unpicked ore from the Brown Bear, Mr. Klein is doing development work ,011 the Empire claim, near Swan Lake, It is a free-milling, gold quartz proposition. Mr, W. T. Thompson put in the successful tender for the supply of tools, provisions and material for the Kettle river road work. Mr. Fairfax Haynes, who broke three fingers on his left band while roping a steer on the fiat below the camp, is now getting better. He was attended to by Dr. Boyee. Mr. D. M. McDougnll is doing assessment work on the Baby Elephant, ■south-west of Kaselina creek; also with Mr. A. Filbaek, on the Manitoba, near Hie Peuticton road, about one mile from camp. On Kruger's mountain, west of Osoyoos lake, njjar tbe road to Kere- ineos, work is being done on the ledges located bust year. Messrs. Keller and Satterley have been working all winter, and sunk a shaft twenty-five feet and rim a thirty-foot tunnel. tCapt. Adams, of Montreal, Mr. Kruger and others have also had development work done. Mr. Torence, the mining expert who has been examining the claims of the rStratliyre Company, left last week or Kettle river, taking in Camp Me- Kinney en route. While at Boundary creek he visited some of the principal locations in the various camps, with which he expressed himself as well pleased. He also examined the Kruger niountain prospects, returning to Fair view last Tuesday. Messrs. Mauson MeMcMillen and J. Proudfoot haye been working on the (Silver Bow most of the winter and have run an eighty-foot tunnel, thirty feet of which is on the ledge. A few feet more will bring them under the shaft, which k forty feet deep. They intend to make an uprise to connect ■with the latter. The ledge averages four feet between walls and assays in places $15.00 ;n gold and silver. It is supposed to be cross ledge from the Silver Crown. There are over forty tons of ore oil the dump. On the fourth of this month a man named Frank Beegan arrived at Fair- viow by the Peuticton stage from Revelstoke and went on to Oro the same day, He talked largely of investing in the district and stated that he might buy one of the hotels in the camp. On the next day he returned fr„-i» Oro and his " wife " came in from Pentictou and the couple went on to Oro together. Fuirview must have posessed a singular charm to him, for he returned again to the camp, played poker for high stakes and otherwise greatly distinguished himself. When, however, it came to settling up he gave cheques to the tune of $150 on the Bank of Montreal at Vernon, whicli weresubsequentlydishouored.ashehud no banking account, Other cheques cashed in the camp and not yet sent to the bank bring the sum up to $250. He is also reported to have " got away with" several parties across the line. ,On the lath Mr. Klein of tbe Golden Gate, followed him up on horseback to Loomiston, where be found him in an hotel. Beegan, on seeing him, promised to pay up if Klein would go back with liiiu to Oro, but on the Tuesday following went on towards Conconully Klein caught up with him four miles put of Loomiston and brought him back. The officers across the line refused a warrant for Beegau's arrest, us pone had been issued on this side of (die line. Mr. Klein returned hist Tuesday to Fairview. Beegan, as we go to. press, is hiding in tbe hills, supposed to be cached by some of his friends. Provincial Constable Webster was across the line armed with a warrant assisting the sheriff to capture him. In Loomiston, on seeing Mr. Webster, Beegan mistook bim for Chief Shop- bard, of Victoria, and thought it wise to decamp. In Oro Beegan and tbe woman accompanying him disposed of some jewelry, mid suspicion rests on them iu connection with a more grave offence than issuing false cheques, and that the ranchers have no wish to have liquor sold in the settlement, things are perhaps better as they arc. Seven wildstallions have been shot so far this season on tbe ranges near White lake. Our readers will bear with regret that Mr. Megaw, of Vernon, is so dangerously ill that it is not expected Unit be can recover. It is stated that the Wanicot Milling company, owners of the Spokane mine at Golden, intends spending $15,10) on the claims owned by them in that district. Tbo new owners of the Black Bear mine at Loomiston are expected shortly to examine their property with a view to starting work. Thene is & .five- stump mill on the claim.

Thomas Wake is said to have struck the Paris lead at White's camp on Boundary creek. If this turns out to be true be can consider himself in possession of a property worth a small fortune. Owls have been carrying off the lone prospectors' cats on tho Boundary mountain. The people of this section may tw kickers but it is certainly bard that a poor man cannot raise a 'owl without the owl trying to get even by creating a catastrophy of this nature. In fact jts a 'owling shame. Messrs. Ritchie & O'Farrell, of NeP, sou, surveyors, have arrived at Boundary creek, Mr. Ritchie completing in cash the purchase of an interest in the Mother Lode claim at Deadwood camp. This property is a very largo and valuable one. They are now engaged in getting data for a map of tbe different camps in Boundary creek district- location of claims and general information regarding the south-eastern part of Yale district. This will be a great boon to prospectors, owners of claims, investors and all desiring information of this important district. Mr. Ritchie, after leaving Boundary creek, goes to Trail creek to survey the townsitc of Thompson, DISTRICT NOTES. Wm. G. M,eMynn, recorder, and Malcolm McQuade visited camp McKiuuey pu the 17th. Further encouraging news comes from White's camp of rich strikes in gold and silver. Z No hotel license is held in the Lower eUnilkaineon valley. Considering the fact that there are several large Indian 'reserves in this section of the country Sad Drowning Accident. Kelowha, April 20.—Yesterday evening Mr. Walker, a relation of Mr. Jamicson, solicitor for the Aberdeen estates, with a young man named Geo. R. Welby, went out for a sale on the lake, when a sudden squall capsized the boat, about half a mile from shore. Both gentlemen tried to reach land by swimming, but Mr. Walker, finding the water too cold, returned to the boat and called loudly for assistance. Mr. Welby continued in his struggle to reach the shore, but was evidently taken with cramp and was drowned. The body was recovered this morning by Constable Thompson, who immediately started for Vernon to notify Coroner McGowan. Mr. Walker was rescued by some Indians who heard his cries for help, after clinging to the boat for nearly two hours., He was much exhausted when rescued, but seems to have suffered no ill effects, except a severe hoarseness. Young Welby was a son of Rev. A. Welby, of Tollerton, Nottingham, Eng., and was about twenty years of age. He went to California about a year ago, and had been in British Columbia about a month wlien the accident took place. Mr. Hobson, with whom he had been stopping for a short time, cabled the sad intelligence to his parents. Lower Simllknmeen Minos, Mr. F, Grognau, a well-known miner who paid Fairview a visit last week, gives a very glowing account of the mining prospects on the north side of the bend of tbe Similkaineeu river, three miles south of the line—about six miles below Mr. Richter's place. The claims lie in what is known as the Mount Chepaca and Siinilkamuen mining district. Those owned by Mr. Grogan himself are the Worcester, McKinley, California, Black Woods and ethers not well opened up. The bust developed, the Worcestcrjias tbrcc distinct leads, carrying sujphurot roasting ore. Tho largest averages four and a half feet wide, and on it a seven-foot shaft fifty feet in depth lias been sunk. Little work has been done on the other two, one of which crops up ou the surface for over 950 feet. The average of various assays from the claim give Sfjl) on. iu silver and |33 in gold. The McKinley lies parallel to the Worcester, and is crossed by one ledge 2 feet to 10 feet in width, whicli shows up for over 1,000 feet, Two shafts, each twenty feet deep, have been sunk on it. Tbe California is part of tbe well-known Eagle, owned by the late " Okanagan." Smith, and $5,000 was i spended In developing it. The veins on all these claims run north-west and south-east. The Smith properties are iu litigation. Mr. Geo. Girty owns the Wyandotte, on Little Mount Chepaca, about one and a half miles west of tho above properties. The ledge on this claim is 20 feet wide and dips at an, angle of forty-live degrees, ' A flftyrfoot shaft has been sunk on it.' The average assays from the ore are almost incredibly high—251 oz. in silver and 52 in gold. The Barney and Rush and Hunter properties iu this section are owned by a company, tho shares being stocked at $1,000,000. Development work is being carried .on with n double shift, night mil day. The .controlling interest is held by Milwaukee parties. A mill will be erected us soon us development wor); justifies, Messrs. Reiley and Dtilan arc also doing oxteusive work on their claims, There arc several hundred locations in I he district, which is in the sains goid belt as Pairview and the Kruge.!' .mountain prospects. Hop CiilOf.re Near Kelowna. Hop cultiny is making quite a stride in the valley, and many of the ranchers are Hiking the cue from those who i'uecei'ded sii well lastseason. There is a tundi larger acreage Ibis season, and among the new planters are Messrs. Donald, Watson, Hall and Smith, the latter gentleman putting ill about live acres. It is said there are to be three jiewilry kilns built during the coining summer, one by Hose Bros., another at the Guisachan ranch, and a third by a company of growers on or near tbe Mission road. Several of tbe ranchers are also going fo plant a small quantity of broom corn, as an experiment, If this can be grown here there is no doubt but a broom factory will be started in the near future. Pentiction Pointers. (From our own, correspondent,) Mr. Ellin bus almost completed putting in his crop. iir. Joe Thurher has been making great improvements in front of the hotel. Tbe first picnic party of tbe season was under tbe guidance of Mr. J. R.

Aberdeen, expects to have Ids boat running between Pentictou and Okanagan Falls about the middle of May, Spallumcheen Notes. (From our own correspondent.) Last week the farmers began seeding; but were restrained by the weather, whicli was as changeable as a chameleon. According to the weather prophets of the valley, it will be the middle of May before the crop is in. Last Saturday E. 0. Oargill & Co. shipped to the coast from Armstrong two car-loads of stall-fed beef cattle, raised by themselves and Messrs. Gra- baiu & Matluison. The sawmill at Armstrong is now in full swjng, Mr. Peinberton, sheriff for Yahs district, has seized the logs, teams, waggons, &c., of L. W, Patten of the Deep Creek saw mill. The sale will take place Monday, May the 10th, The municipality has started road work for ths year, Mr. Bailey, the inspector, now has a gang at work repairing roads and culverts. Affairs are not as they should be in this valley, as elsewhere. Day after day men carrying their blankets are seen on the railway track journeying southwards and anxiously enquiring for work, which is as scarce us the needful to pay for it, Tbe Armstrong Gun Club had their first practice this season Wednesday last. The club are sanguine of being at the top of the tree for the year. The farmers of the valley (hitherto, as they say, supporters of tho present government) are on the fence, and at a meeting held lately resolved to support a candidate who was against the policy of the government and not in accord with the views of the opposition, Osoyoos Notes. Osoyoos, April 22.— Constable Webster returned to-day after an unsuccessful attcnip to capture "Klein's rascal," Mine Host Kruger has greatly improved his surroundings by completing a terrace of rich soil (hauled from a distance) around his hotel and enclosing the whole with a neat fence. Mr. K's taste foi floriculture and tbe windmill irrigation system complete, the traveller will find Osoyoos more attractive than ever. Mrs. Dowding is having extensive improvements made at "Wyndford." The orchard and garden are being restored in all their glory. Large and small fruits of all kinds lire already set out, figs, oranges, almonds, grapes being included in tbe list. Mr. E. D. Reynolds and J. A. Coryell paid a visit lo Ibe mouth of Rock creek this week, including a look at tbe work done by the Bed Rock Flume (lo., and the placer claim being worked by Messrs, Donald, Rankin, Turley & Co., at first crossing of Rock creek.

Dan Strothors goes out with a gun about four thnos a year and rounds up a dozen suU-.erih.-ra for uh each time, and we can't afford to put on any freezing dignity with him, not even if ho taken the pendulum m well as tho hands oil our clock, Before attending the Friday night meet ing of the Common Con oil we sought to prepare our friend for several little omeru- etioies which mi^ht arise, bnt as he saw us buckle on fur guns just previous to starting out, he seemed dismayed. Asa math r of eonrao, when the aldermen come togethw hero ou council nights they tlap the mayor on tho back and call htm old man and exhibit a brotherly feeling, When our Eaft'-rn frwnd witnessed this fraternal greeting lie wan shocked. Ho said that tho New York alderman who should dare slap the mayor ou the back or put a boot again.4 liiseoattails would be treated as a dangerous lunatic. During tho session Alderman Scott of tho Third Ward arose ut tin; wrong time to state tho noed of a lateral sewer down Jim Crow alley. We called him to order, and lie got mad and insisted that ho had tho floor. Nothing but tho sight of two gnns peeping over our desk will bring Al icrmaii Scott to time, and we've made him lay down so often that it ueema a part of the routine proceedings.
