What with a perfect floor, class music and a most enjoyable supper, those who attended claim that it was "the" event ofthe season. Messrs. Webb, Knight and Thomas kept the dancers bus-tuntil the early morning by the inspiring music they furnished. The varied programme proved the skill of the dancers as all the latest dances including the "cake walk "were danced with great spirit and effect.

On cross-examination he confessed he did not remember what he had said to Mr. Wallace, proprietor of the Hotel Princeton, about the stealing. Jack Swansborough was also called as witness for the prosecution but AiadHo evidence whatever to offer. Considerable amusement was afforded those present, by the examination of the Chinese cook at the hotel, who furnished statistics of the number of oystersused-in the kiteheri,~but no possi- tive proof was shown as to the amount that had been taken from the storehouse.

Glibly enough one may speak of building from Vancouver to Midway, but the country through which the line must run bears a resemblance to a billiard table only when up on edge. The construction of the line into Midway is estimated to have cost in some places $35,000 a mile, and thus is about as expensive a piece of work as the records show. Some of the line to the coast will be even heavier, butdifficulties which appalled engineers a few years ago are made light in these days.

In the welfare and prosperity of her subjects, throughout Great Britaii Queen ever evinced a heartfelt interest. She saw with thankfulness the steady progress which, under the wide extensio of self government, they had made du; ing her reign. She warmly appreciated their unfailing loyalty to her throne and person, and was proud to think of those who so nobly fought and died for the empire's cause in South Africa. I have already declared that it would be my constant endeavor to follow the great example which has been bequeathed to me. In these endeavors, I shall have con fident trust in the devotion and sympathy of the people, and of their several representative assemblies throughout my vast colonial dominions. With such loyal support, I will, with the blessing of God, solomnlywork for the promotion of the common welfare, and the security of our great empire, over which I have now been called to reign.

O. ance of tbe coal supply in British Columbia has not been appreciated by the rank and file. When the Crow's Nest coal ield! red tha tha elti uld b tidustry :oke alone are getting to be a very large item. If present plans for enlargement are carried out, as they undoubtedly will be, there will be a greatly increased demand from this source alone. It is thus apparent that one of tbe burning questions now in this part of the province is : Will there be coal enough for immediate requirements ? In this connection it is quite opportune that the coal fields of the Similkameen country are now receiving attention. They are report- to be as large or larger than those of East Kootenay, and capitalists are now taking hold of these new black diamond deposits with the ev dent intention of thoroughty exploiting them. This fact is also undoubtedly stimulating the building of the new railway from Midway to the coast. One great inducement for the con struction ofthe Crow's Nest railway was the coal-beds, and the same thing west of here is no small factor. Time will work out the coal and coke problem, now such an important the industrial development of southeast British Columbia.—Phoenix Pioneer. • • • The B. C. On Thursday next, the Legis- Leglslature lative Assembly of British Columbia will begin what will probably be the most important session ever held by a provincial government. Premier Dunsmuir and his cabinet have a hard task to face. What with a number of important questions, the reconstruction of the cabinet, the formation of a progressive railroad policy, and the immense amount of routine work to be gone through, Mr. Duns- muir's path will not be strewn with roses for the next two months. We would like to whisper a few words of good advice in your ear Mr. Premier, which might assist you through the :a of the present session. Keep away y politics, and simply keep in mind [fare and building up of the province, a weathercock ! Let your policy be a decided one. Decisive legislation is what the people of the province want at the present time. Steer clear of all the old party associations with which you are surrounded and give the people an original progressive policy. Become a leader who will not be afraid to conduct tbe government on strictly business lines, who will not be afraid when he finds a weak spot in his administration to get rid of it, root and branch. Give us good clean government and the right minded people of British Columbia will extend you a hearty and unanimous support. • • • R. R. Over the In our columns this week Hope Summit we publish an excellent article, dealing with the railroad policy of the province generally, but more particularly with the proposed Coast to Kootenay line. As this railway will traverse the entire Similkameei out the fact that the possibility of constructinj a line over the Hope summit is by no means al difficult a task as our contemporary would hav one believe. The rugged snow-capped peaks ofthe Cascade range can exist only in the imagination of the writer, as the summit of the old Hope-Sim- ilkameen trail at an altitude of about 5300 feet is entirely clear of snow for nearly six month! in the year. For the past two years this trail has been used as the principal route of travel to the Pacific coast and as the total distance (65 miles) has been ridden several mer between daylight and dark it cannot be such a difficult feat of engineering to find a feasible grade for a railroad. In comparison, the summit of the Columbia & Western line between Robson and Cascade presented more difficulties in the way of grade and heavy rock work than would be encountered in the Hope pas; route. Again the Great Northern switchback route over the summit of the Cascade mountains presented engineering difficulties which would make the negotiating of the Hope summit look easy by comparison. Another matter to be taken into consideration is the fact that besides the passvia Hope trail there is known to exist two much lower passes, viz, the Coque- halla and Coldwater pass and the Coquehalla, pass, the highest Railroad Creek and Tularin point in* either route being under 5000 feet. • • • WHAT THE EDITORS SAY The completion of its proppsed line from the Boundary district to the coast will cut 250 miles off the Canadian Pacific's run from Montreal to Vancouver—Nelson Tribune. The Similkameen Star, of Princeton, is a bright, well edited paper, and is doing much to attract the attention of the investors to that favored region. The Star's 20th century production was a well gotten up number.—Journal. A gentleman who has done the figuring asserts that there are 100,000,000 tons of black diamonds in the Similkameen coal fields. Well every ton can be turned to account, aad appearances indicate that the day is not far distant. —Pheonix Pioneer. * * British Columbia seems to be fairly well before the public in London, Judging by a recent issue of the Financial Times. Besides the quotations of British Columbia shares, there are five other articles, some of them quite lengthy, referring to-British Columbia affairs, including a summary of British Columbia's mineral output and an editorial on the purchase of the C.P. N. shares by the C. P. R. The fact that a large financial paper in London should pay so much attention to British Columbia affairs, proves that this province is attracting a good deal of attention in the world's metropolis.—Colonist.

La eceived telegraph . Douglas that the week Robert Wood r information from M: preliminaries for a deal had been arranged, and subj ect to a report by an expert of the syndicate, he felt certain the same would go through. On Saturday Mr. Wood left by stage for Fairview where he will meet the party sent out to examine the coal lands. The 3,000 acres are owned by John Douglas and Robert Wood of this city; Mrs. Ida Thompson of Beaverton, and J^C. McLjtgan^editor of the World r>f ytincnnypr. When seen by Times representative, Mr. Wood corroborated the report that a deal was on, but id he was unable to give full particulars until after the examination of the prop erty, which he anticipated would be quite tisfactory to the Toronto people. At the head of the purchasing, syndicate is E- B. Osier, a prominent financial agent and broker of that city. Associated with him are said to be a number of heavy shareholders in th* Canadian Pacific railway. From this it would, appear that the gentlemen who practically control the destinies of the big corporation determined not to be at the mercy of those who manage the Crow's Nest Coal company, in so far as coal and coke are concerned. Especially if recent reports from the west are correct that James Hill, ofthe Great Northern railway has heme associated and a large shareholder the Crow's Nest company. By acquiring these coal fields the C. P. R. would place itself in a position to cope with the inroads of the Great Northern at Fernie. The coal fields are reached five miles north from Fairview on the main wagon road to Penticton at the foot of Okanogan lake. The deposits have been recognized of great value for the past 15 years but lack of railway transportation has prohibited a proper exploitation of the esources. Some prospecting has been ttempted from time to time, and coal has been mined for local purposes. It is ported to make excellent coke, suitable for smelting purposes. Should the deal go through the owners ill receive a substantial cash payment 1 also considerable stock in a company 1 be formed to acquire and develop the ime. The proposed route of the Coast- Kootenay railway passes directly through the property and the building of this road will afford facilities for transportation not only to the camps of Similkameen district but also to the Boundary. Decorative Art in Princeton. Painting as a fine art is being practised extensively by several fair dames in Princeton. The interior decorations of j of our principal homes bear testimony to the varied accomplishments of the occupants. Our reporter happened pay a visit to one of the pretty homes the town this week and found several ladies busily engaged in beautifying the as in a most artistic manner. The colour effect, in one room in particular, bore evidence of the artists ability to l paint and create a new colour which patented would certainly be the ms of bringing in a large income to the inventor.

Grand ForkB—The biggest deal in history of the Boundary was closed this week when the famous B. C. Mine wai purchased by an American syndicati headed by E. D. Nelson, president of the First National Bank of Ironwood, Mich., the price being away up into the big numbers but the exact figures have not yet been made public. Greenwood—-basing 1900 48,600 shares in the British Columbia Copper Company were sold on the New York stock exchange, at prices ranging from ^8.25, which was the lowest quotation, reached in Januajy, to $21.25, the highest, reach ed in December. The sales on the Boston stock exchange totalled 44,613 shares and the quotations varied from JS8.63 to $21.75. There, too, the lowest was i January and the highest was in Decembe: The par value of the shares is $5. Th company owns the smelter ftfcffreenwood and the well-known Mother Lode rnit Rossland—A conflict of interests h arisen among various claimants to t wafer power of the PaudlQreilleriver, I that litigation isjhreatened. A New York* company, said to be backed by large capital, has located a mill site and watei right on both sides of the river, while another inteiest claims the title to the Root- e{ay Hydraulic Co., which, however it is asserted, only owns an old building and Some machinery abandoned several.years ago,; and which owns no millsite or water rights. Still another combination is after the same location so it is feared that velopment will be entirely stopped, til the courts determine who has the be£t legal position and title. Phoenix Shipments—The output from the properties at Phoenix, controlled by the Miner-Graves syndicate, is well maintained and if kept up during the year will have a marked effect upon the tonnage of gold-copper ore pioduced in the province as the following figures will show. Tons Week ending Jan. 2 (2 days) 1,512 ' 9 6,383 23- ...5,048 Total, 23 days 18.143 Average, per day 788 With the ore being shipped from the Mother Lode and the B. C the Boundary is even now well ahead of the Rossland district as a productive district. Phoenix—The Pioneer recently said that Solicitor Whiteside, for McArthur & Monk, who say they represent wealthy capita1 ists, made application to the city council for an exclusive electric light and tramway franchise for the corporation of Phoenix. Just what will be done with the matter does not yet appear, but at next week's meeting it will doubtless b< brought up. It is not stated who the par ties are, but it seems that something is it the wind. The recent advance in the stock of the Morrison Mines, Ltd., is accounted for by the splendid showing at the 11 Superintent Gus Peterson has a force of 15 men under him. The long tunnel is in 900 feet and has crosscut diagonally three distinct lodes. Nothing authori- tively can be learned regarding values, but there is a dump of ore that from ap pearances and size should prove profitable under treatment.
