VOL. 5, NO. 47. PRINCE GEORGE. BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY. JULY 23, 1915. Price Five Cents REHEARING OF STATION QUESTION PROBABLE SWAMP RIVER GOLD STRIKE LOOKS GENUINE From information' received in j Street, this committee to be com- the city today from Ottawa, it is posed of the city solicitor, one highly probable that a re-hearing of the whole station site matter will be granted by the Railway Commi ssion. Now that Prince George is the only factor to be considered in the case, the interests of South Fort George and Fort (leorge having been eliminated by this city's incorporation, it is felt that the location can be decided without the entrance of so many conflicting interests. Prince George citizens will be pleased to have the commission consider the matter on its merits alone, as it effects Prince George and have no doubt that the final decision will be in the best interests of the city as a whole, Mass Meeting Unanimous For George Street Site alderman, and one representative to be chosen by the committee of ten. The committee of ten selected was composed of W. F. Cooke, chairman ; Thos. Porter, F. B. Hood, J. T. Armstrong, Barney Keegan, J. Rush, J. G. Quinn. Gordon Bain, ti. W. Mason, and J. B. Daniell. Lord Brassey, the Famous British Authority on Naval Affairs. Council Agrees to Send Delegation to Ottawa The mass meeting postponed from Thursday to Monday evening in the Ritts-Kifer Hall, was attended by about three-hundred citizens. The object of the meeting, as previously announced, was to get an expression of opinion from the citizens on the station site question, and if unanimous, to wire the Ottawa authorities to press for its immediate construction. Mr. P. E. Wilson in opening the meeting, drew attention to the existing conditions in Prince Qeorge-the advance of the city had been retarded, confidence in the future of this place had been alienated, and this, added to the world-wide financial stringency was having a serious effect on local business. As a citizen and public man he believed the best interests of the city would be served if the people would unanimously approve the Grand Trunk Pacific Company's plans for the depot at the foot of George Street. If Prince George was ever to attain the growth and prominence we all agreed were her's by right, it must be attained by the combined effort of the railway company and the people. Other speakers, including W. F. Cooke, J. T. Armstrong, P. B. Hood, and Dr. Lazier, all agreed with the opening remarks of the chairman, citing several instances in the case of other less promising places where the railway and civic authorities by combined effort had built up towns and cities. The chairman asked to hear from parties representing both sides of the station site dispute. There were evidently no opponents of the George Street site willing to advance any arguments against the evident strong sentiment. The chairman then read the following resolution which was carried unanimously by a standing vote: "We, the citizens of Prince George, in a mass meeting here assembled, hereby resolve that we request the city council to send the city solicitor and, if deemed advisable by them, one of their number and one man, to be selected by a committee of ten to be appointed at this meeting, and the three men to act as city representatives for the purpose of appearing before the railway commission, demanding of them that a station be immediately built at the foot of George Street and that the said committee of ten be authorized to appear before the city council to lay our views before them and secure the carrying out of this resolution." A committee of ten was chosen from the assemblage to wait upon the city council to ask that a deputatation be sent to Ottawa to confer with the authorities in regard to the immediate construction of the station at George A special meeting of the city council, called to receive a deputation of ton citizens appointed from Monday evening's mass meeting, was held on Tuesday evening. A resolution, introduced by Alderman Parks, that the council accede to the wishes of the citizens as expressed in the mass meeting resolution, was passed. The aldermen op- nosed to the resolution were Ellis and Engel. Mr. Coo'e one of the speakers for the committee of ten, laid the wishes of the citizens before the council, and was supported by Messrs. Porter and Armstrong, who also briefly recited the wishes of the people in the matter of such moment to Prince George. Mayor Gillett received the delegation with courtesy, giving it as his opinion, however, that the course proposed in sending a deputation to the railway commission would not be conducive of results. In his opinion the matter was irrevocably settled by the decision of the Exchequer Court to place the station at Oak and Ash streets. He believed that if a compromise agreement could be reached between the two factions—say, for a location at Victoria street, tht matter could be arranged. People might say that he was prejudiced in favor of Victoria street because he owned property there, but he assured the delegation this was not so. Mayor Gillett read a telegram from Mr. Hammond's solicitor at Ottawa, which stated that the location at Oak and Ash had been made an order of the court. M.( Cooke informed his worship that he was not authorized by the committee to consider any compromise location. The people, he said, were strongly in favor of co-operating with the railway company for the carrying out of their plans on the George street site. Mayor Gillett stated that since his election he had received many letters from outsiders asking the council not to interfere with the decision of the railway commission. After over two hours' discussion the resolution favoring the sending of the delegation to Ottawa was passed, with the stipulation that the city pay no part of the delegates' expenses for the trip. Evidence is accumulating that the gold strike reported from the Swamp Kiver country southeast of here is of consul* ruble imports ce. The Hsi aid today interviewed sev.nl oldt me s who the same excitement, because all the valuable ground was held under lease, but will no doubt attract great attention to the possibilities of this field.

ReportedCapitulation of Warsaw New York, July 23.—A despatch from Petrograd published here this morning says that the Austro-German forces have entered Warsaw. No confirmation'of the despatch has been received. London, July 22.—The tone of despatches from Petrograd bespeaks plainly that the country is aware of the graveness of the military situation, involving not only the fate of the Polish capital but the integrity of the Russian armv In Poland, the sections of which might be severed by a decisive defeat along the Lublin- Cholm railway.

P r .ins, Dominion fisheries inspector, ai d an old Caribooite, was over tl a region more than twenty yetrs ago. He states that the Swamp River country has never been prospected and that the reported location of the strike lies in the region that gio'.ogi.^ts agree is the famous gold belt. R. C. S. Randall, former mining recorder at Barkerville, is also optimistic over the reported discovery. Mr. Martin, of the P. Burns Co. here, was in Barkerville this week and talked with one of the trappers who made the discovery. The nuggets were found imbedded in clay at a depth of about eight feet, T. A. Blair has received a wire from Fred Tregillus, a well known mining man of Barkerville, in answer to an inquiry as to the location of the find. Mr. Tregillus states that the discovery was made on a small creek emptying into the east branch of Swamp River, 12 miles from Sandy Lake. The following telegram has been •eceived by W. F. Cooke from Dr. Callanan, M.L.A., of Barkerville, in e'espoiiEe to an inquiry as to the reliability of the reports circulated regarding the gold strl'.: . on Swamp river: "Creek 12 miles long, tributary to Swamp river. One piece $12, some smaller ones, in all about $30, reported by trappers, amateur miners, found in top dirt and gravel. Nothing more definite known. Dozen or more peo pie gone out. Seventy miles from here by Bear lake and chain of minor lakes." by those most conversant with the geological formation that the ancient channel of Antler creek once passed through here, which, if so, would indicate an ancient outlet to the rich gold-bearing creeks in thc Barkerville section. Thc Swamp River country comprises a large area even greater in extent than the gold-producing section around Barkerville, where a radius of not over fifteen miles produced by tho crude method of mining in the early days, and several thousand miles from a railway, and nearly a thousand from steamboat navigation, nearly eighty million dollars. Should a section spriii" up here, even mild in comparison of richness, which is not all improbable, the methods of mining in these days, with its present easy accessibility, would create a mining rush without a parallel. This section lies hetween Barkerville and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, in the neighborhood of Tete Jaune Cache. The Herald shall endeavor next week to fathom morc thoroughly all reports in respect to this new discovery, as no doubt in a week hence we will be in a position to establish the facts from most reliable information. Large Gains For Italians. Geneva, July 22.—Despatches say that large gains have been made by the Italians since July 16. According to these advices the Austrians have lost more than five miles in Cadora and lesser distances in Carnia, at Hochshite, Gradina, Dodero, and Kellerwald on the Isonzo. The Austrians have recaptured two positions near Tolmino and north of San Lucas. Another despatch from the Russian front says that on the night of July 17-18 a fierce hand to-hand encounter occured near the Rawka River in Russian Poland. After fifteen hours of Vancouver, July 19.—Important announcements regarding plans for the development of the oil and mineral resources of northern British Columbia and the provision of transportation facilities were made this morning by Mr. Charles F. Law, Canadian representatative for Mr. D. A. Thomas, Welsh coal baron and the British Governmept's special commissioner in America, who is now in New York. Mr. Thomas and a number of his associates are heavily interested in extensive plans for the construction of a railway line from Kitamat Arm on the B. C. coast to Prince Albert via Hogem Pass, Fort St. John, I'eaee River Landing, and Fort Vermilion, the building of tramways in connection with a navigation system on the Peace river, Slave river, Athabaska and Mackenzie rivers by water the rest of the way. The Pacific, Peace Riier and Athabasca Railway, Mr. Law announced, has acquired the charter of the Athabasca & Vermilion Railway and is now surveying a route from Athabasca Landing to Vermilion, and plans the construction of the line as a part of its main route to the coast. Ihis railway wi.l form an important link in the proposed system and will open up one of the largest agricultural districts of the Peace River region as well as furnishing transportation facilities for the oil resources of the north. The hull of a steamer which will be placed in service on the Peace River between Vermilion Chutes and Hudson's Hooe, a distance of 500 miles, is being framed by mills in Vancouver, Mr. Law stated.

The Thomas interests, Mr. Law said, have bonded a group of plant, foundry, and machine shops, is expected to be ready for operation by the early part of August. Prince Rupert will then have on its harbor front the finest drydock plant on the Pacific Coast. The cost of the undertaking is said to be approximately $1,500,000. Mr. Law stated that five car loads of drilling machinery have have a staff of experts examining the holdings with a view to purchase and development on a been shipped to Peace River large scale. Several promising Crossing and boring operations gold prospects are also under in on the syndicate's oil properties there will be started by August 1st. The plant was transported to Smoky River by the Edmonton & Dunvegan railway and thence vestigation. 1 he syndicate propose to develop the mining properties to provide tonnage and business for its transportation interests. Letters have just been received by private citizens here in confir- nation of a report from Quesnel of a •.lacer gold strike on Swamp river, eibout seventy miles east of Barkerville, of such abnormal richness as to result in the entire evacuation of th.- male population of the two mining towns, Barkerville and Stanley. .'he strike is cans'1. considerable excitement in this city, a number hav- ng already left with the first report, not even waiting for confirmation. There is perhaps nothing more fascinating in stampeding citizens of every sort than a rich placer gold itrike, where the ordinary individual .•an shovel gold which is equal to currency itself into sluice boxes and thus convert himself from a penniless prospector to a gentleman of independence and ease. For this reason the Herald wishes to refrain from too much opti mism pending further investigation The Quesnel Observer states that the discovery was made by two pros pectors named Kenny and Reed, who have been in that section about a year, and as evidence of their discovery had with them a bunch of nuggets- ranging in value from eight to twelve dollars which they brought from their diggings, getting the gold frnm a gravel deposit on top of n clay formation It appears that the facts of the discovery had been kept a secret for some time, hut as the news of a rich gold find is hard to suppress it eventually leaked out. Whatever the nature of the find it is apparently significant, as scarcely a week passes in Barkerville without •some prospector arriving in town with a nice placer gold prospect from some quarter which would in most towns where the citizens are unfamiliar with gold mining, cause considerable excitement, but in Barkerville seldom creates more than passing interest. The miners there nre thoroughly conversant with tlie difference between a prospect and a rich gold strike therefore, the fact of the male population of the two mining towns stampeding to this new discovery is the most conclusive evidence of its genuineness. This strike follows the big strike made on Antler creek just a few weeks previous, where the gravel is said to contain as high as a hundred dollars to the pan. In the Antler creek strike it did not cause Says Kitchener's Army is About To Go Forward New York, July 22th.-" The British advance will begin about August 1, and England will then make its great throw in the war," was the confident declaration of a member of Kitchener's newest army, equipped with information although he is only a private. A year ago he was a newspaper correspondent, as well known in America as in London. This interview came yesterday in a letter despatch: "We are now off to the front" said he, "and we are almost the first of the new force. Kitchener's great army of 2,000,000 men is at last on its way. Within a couple of weeks there will be 750,000 more British troops in France. "I and many like me want to get to the front and get in the midst of fighting as soon as we can. We don't want to wear the stars of an officer and train recruits in some hole 50 miles outside of the world. This is the great move. We are in London now for a few days farewell leave. Then away we go and if the Germans are about to try to make the great smash for Calais we shall be there in time." This Kitchener soldier was telling the real truth. For two weeks, although no word is being a'liwed by the censor to be sent . broad, mighty preparations have oeen going on throughout England to get the main body of Kitchener's army out of England by the end of July. Nearest Route To Swamp River Country. Provided the gold discovery proves sufficiently important the nearest and most feasible route from Prince George would evidently be by the railway to Rooney, 117 miles east of here, where the tloat River trail could be taken to Isaac Lake, a distance of about 40 miles. From Isaac Lake an all-water route would take the traveller to any part of the Swamp River Country, lt is evident from reports that the location of the strike is on an unnamed creek near McLeary Lake. This would not be more than 20 miles from the end of the (ioat River trail. V SUBSCRIPTION : $1. Ml Per Year, In Advance. To the United States 12.00.

Taking the sentiment of Monday evening's mass meeting as an indication of the feeling of Prince George citizens as a whole, there is no doubt that we are practically unanimous in the desire to co-operate with the railway company in the buildirg up of a city worthy of our environment and splendid advantages. Whatever little opposition there is to this plan emanates from a small co- .,,,., , ,„• . , , , found in the Engineers group of Atlin, tene With limited Vision who BC.

These interests care,that thc San F«>ncisco fair directors have offered $2000 for the loan of the nugget, no doubt, he states, to exploit Alaska. $40,000 nugget in Atlin, Sir Richard McBride, minister of mines, has received the following lettergram from Gold Commissioner 1'Vaser at Atlin: "Have not heard of any such nugget being found here.

Ore apparently increasing in quantity and After fourteen years the deep sea treasure in the hold of the wreck of the ill-fated steamer Islander, submerged in the depths of the inside passage of Southern Alaska, has been recovered, a telegraphic despatch stating that a Los Angeles party of adventurers, headed by R. G. Dunbar, were successful in taking out value as depth is attained. Have seen $100,000 of the gold and nuggets large specimens said to run upwards; which went down with the old C.P.R. of sixty thousand per ton." Probably every paper in Canada during the past few days has published thc despatch sent out from Ottawa relative to the alleged "great Atlin nugget." This despatch was dated July IB, and read: "Hon. Louis Coderre, secretary of state and minister of mines, received a wire from W. A. Blair, secretary of the Vancouver board of trade, urging upon the government the expediency of purchasing a huge nugget recently nothing lor the general advancement of the city provided their realty speculations show a profit, Opposed to this little group of gamblers are the business men and a large majoiuy of the resident—as amply demonstrated at Monday's mass meeting. In full accord with the latter is the railway company, which as a public service corporation is doing all in its power to advance the city's interests along the plans already laid out in their scheme of development. The Grand Trunk people propose to make this city their chief operating point between Edmonton and the coast; it would be civic suicide for the people here to place stumbling blocks in their path. "Can you purchase same for exhibition in thc Dominion building there?" he asks. "It would be a fatal mistake to allow it to get into the hands of the Americans, as it can be of inestimable value to British Columbia." A Determined Suicide. boat. The Islander was a Canadian Pacific Railway boat plying out of Vancouver and Victoria many years ago. She foundered five miles south of Juneau in August, 1901, after striking a submerged iceberg. The loss of life was very heavy. The iceberg cut into the forward compartments. The door between the forward compartments and the engine room was closed tight and, according to the story of the survivors, th. vessel would have remained afloat if the door had not been opened by a fireman in response to the cries of a stowaway, who was trapped in thc place. When the door was opened the water rushed in and sent the shin to the bottom, 288 feet deep at that point. The story as told by R. G. Dunbar, who, with his successful party, are returning to California in the treasure ship Winona, adds another chapter of romance to the history of the Great North. From a depth of 300 feet the purser's safe, and box after box of nuggets and gold dust were removed from the sediment and tide- washed remnants of the ship and brought to the surface by means of t diving bell.

Fortunately thc morc influential journals quickly placed the matter in the proper light. The fault as it turned out lay with the treasury officials, who authorize or refuse new issues. Earlier in the year an arrangement had been promised to permit special facilities for dealing with short time securities as they matured. At the last moment these facilities were refused to Prince Rupert, with the result that the city was "left in the air" for the time being, and placed in the disagreeable position of being the solitary municipality in Canada or any other dominion which could not meet its obligations when they fell due. Whitehall tardily consented to a renewal, and all ended well, but it was ungracious as well as unfair to attack the credit of a Canadian city when the blame should have been laid at the doors of the treasury.

There are perhaps few industries in which ordinary individuals are less conversant with than the process of obtaining placer gold from the sand and gravel deposits in which this valuable metal is usually found, being almost invariably deposited in the concentrates of the present creek beds, or on the benches which have at some period in geological history been the concentrates of the ancient channels when flowing on a higher level. The specific gravity of gold is nineteen times that of water and several times heavier than the material in which it is usually deposited. Cold naturally shows a tendency to reach the bed-rock where it will form its own gravity, inbed itself^deep into the crevices. For this reason the great hy • draulic monitors can pipe away thousands of yards of the lighter material daily, while the gold and black sand for which it has an affinity, travel but a few yards where it is caught in the crevices of the bed-rock or in large flumes specially constructed for this purpose. When clean-up time comes the water is diverted into the channels and the concentrates shoveled into ordinary sluice boxes where the gold is recovered. Some mining companies melt their gold into bricks about the size of an ordinary clay brick which contains approximately thirty-two thousand dollars, while others ship it in sacks to the nearest bank or assay office. To obtain thin valuable metal which has been adopted by the nations of the world as the universal basis of exchange has occupied the brains of the world's greatest men, and as a result, has been rewarded with the same marked success that has been attained in all other branehes'of industrial science, where minimum cost and maximum results have been the keynote of financial success. Less than sixty years ago the first hydraulic plant was installed in Placer County, California. This consisted of a small canvas hose constructed by an ingenious miner. He attached the canvas pipe to divert a small stream that ran along the bench above, when it was conveyed by the pipe and forced through a smaller outlet against the bank below. Like all other great ideas, crude at the beginning, yet this miner discovered it, a great improvement on the old method of ground sluicing and from this idea sprung the giant monitors of the present, where a river is piped against a bank at from one to three hundred feet lower elevation which it literally melts and carries away thousands of yards per day. This great advance has taken place within living n.emo.y of the older generation, and ec.ua < in effectiveness the progress made in the art of war from the ancient catapult in the days ol Caesar to the great siege guns ol the present day, and has, even within the past fifteen years, converted many a low - grade proposition into vast beds oi potential wealth. California, has been the home of hydraulic n ining in America, not on account of having a monopoly of the gold-bearing creek beds, but due mainly tothe early accessibility ol railway transportation into the tropical field. But as the world gets smaller, aid capital increases, and the demand for gold expands, which was particularly noticeable at the commencement of the present European war, when the paper currency of the nations involved became in an instant as but a scrap of pape\ this led tie world of finance to a deeper thought and to investigate the possibilities of expansion as the production of this valuable and necessary metal, especially in the United States and Western Canada. It is now an established fact that the great gold-belt running north and south of the Pacific slope can be traced from Mexico, through California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska ; that gold can be traced the entire distance but only in a few places has it appeared in abundance, such as in the placers of California, Cariboo district, British Columbia, Klondike in the Yukon, and at Fairbanks and Nome in Alaska. California has been thoroughly exploited and the greatest skill applied and its best results already attained. We can therefore look for no great advance in this field other than the continuation of the present output. Alaska and the Yukon will come into their own within a few years with the development of railways in this far north section, but even their historic rich placer camps will always be handicaped by short seasons, and from the fact that it will always be necessary to thaw the ground by artificial means, which adds greatly to the costs in the economic handling of the material by the hydraulic process, especially in low-grade propositions. In British Columbia ninety per cent, of its area hitherto a great lone land, is now being exploited by railways which nearly intercepts the great gold-bearing deposits of the Cariboo district, especially in the historic Barkerville section which is ideally situated for economic mining; where the seasons are reasonably long and the expensive process of thawing the ground unnecessary, 'Tis true, on account of the present European war, capital tor development is withheld to a great extent, but the Americans who are alive to the great possibilities of this section are using their instinctive shrewdness in stealing a march into the field, and have already acquired a great many of the richest propositions. With the close of the European war we look forward to a great rush of capital into this fertile field. According to an official bulletin issued by the Provincial Government, the B. C. mines produce annually a total of $32,- 600,000. With the employment of less than 13,000 hands this gives a per capital production of $2,600, which is not surpassed by any other industry in Canada, if in the world, Although the most promising placer fields are situated some considerable distance from this city, yet this is the logical whole- NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.

He is irmly convinced that New Hazelton will be one of theb estm ining districts in the province. Tax notices are being sent out this week from the city assessor's n.'Iice. Taxes are something from which none can expect to escape, and it is hoped that the response will be prompt and cheerful. The money is needed to carry on necessary civic improvements. A substantial discount is offered for prompt payment. Rev, G, A, Wilson, superintendent of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church, will arrive here next week and probably spend a week in the district.
