Additional stages between Spences Bridge and Princeton, and between Fair- ' and Keremeos make is much easier for travellers to reach the city. Coming from Vancouver and Pacific coast points the journey can be arranged to reach Spences Bridge on trains arriving there Thursday and Sunday evenings, while travellers from points east arrive on Friday and Monday morning, connecting with stages leaving at 6 a. m. either day. Travelling from points in the Boundary and Kootenay countries, stages leave Greenwood on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, connecting at the Sandhills with stages for Fairview and Keremeos. By this route the trip is made from Greenwood to Keremeos in two days. At Keremeos saddle horses can be procured for Princetou and now the pack train is making regular trips between the two points there is no difficulty in getting baggage and light freight packed through without delay. The roads and trails have all been repaired and comfortable travelling is assured. Otter Plat Hotel Messrs. Thynne and Debarro expect shortly to open the Otter Flat Hotel. The house will be a great boon to mining men and prospectors, besides making an ideal summer resort for fishing, hunting and boating on the lakes. ^Charlie Debarro who is well-known in the Similkameen will manage the hostlery. store carrying a full line of miners supplies will be run in connection. £l COMMUNICATED. NiCOLA, April 10, 1990. of the Similkameen Star: Sir—I was pleased to see that in yo second issue you found space in yo leader to advocate what is essentially the life and soul of this district—good roads. One road in the district, however, seems to have escaped, your notice. The road I refer to is that leading from this place to Princeton. This road is in a most deplorable condition. For the past month it has been a common occurence for half a dozen freighters to be stuck in the mud at different parts of the road. At several points the road is flooded, culverts are floating about on temporary lakes and the suffering to beast and man is credited only by those whose misfortune it is to be obliged to flounder through the mire. Her Majesty's mail is delayed to a serious extent, and as a consequence there must arise great inconvenience to the business men of Princeton. Trusting that you will extend the favor of your influential advocacy to others of my class as well as myself, I beg to subscribe myself, Yours very sincerely, A Suffering Freighter.

The latest developmeat of the Sunset, although disappointing from the fact that owing to breaking through a slip the shaft made water so fast that a temporary close down was necessary until a new pump is installed, is most encouraging. The last blast, at a depth of 190 feet broke into the richest body of discovered iu the mine. The bottom of the shast is literally covered with rich copper, native, sulphide and bornite, all being scattered thickly through the rock making it a perfect kaleidoscope of color. Supt. Lougheed left immediately for Grand Forks to procure a large pump and expects to start work again in about ten days. J. D. Anderson P.L.S. is busy surveying the properties owned by theSimilka^ meen Copper Co. on Copper mountain. The Lost Horse. Mine is showing up new development which is very promising. About 200 feet from the shaft the men are busy stripping an outcrop which is very rich in carbonates and oxidized copper. Secy. W. A. Campbell is at the mine personally superintending the work and is very thusiastic over the new strike. The Copper Cliff Is justifying its name. Situated on Copper mountain 2000 feet below the Sunset close to the Similkameen river, the development work, done by Messrs. Aldous, Van Mills and Jackson who own the property, has uncovered a very fine body of solid chalcopyrite, which judging from samples left at the Star office ought to assay well. Kennedy Mountain Kennedy mountain claims are looking well. On the Dewey and Red J3uck later developments are proving the bodies to be richer and stronger as depth is obtained. Messrs. Burr and Jones have completed the assessment work on the Lela and adjoining claims. A shaft 19 feet deep on the Lela is in good mineral and with a little more depth indications show that good ore body will be found. On Priday Creek Messrs Silverthorne and Rogers are doing good work on the Muldoon claim. The ledge is showing up strongly mineralized rock which is increasing in value as depth is obtained. PERSONALS. Mrs. P. V. Heath and family arrived a today's stage. R. A Brown returned to Grand Forks 1 Monday. Mr. F. Powell left for Vancouver on Friday's stage. Mayor Robert Wood, the father of Greenwood, registered at the Hotel Jackson yesterday. W. L. Lawry and W. Allen, two well- known Rosslanders rode in from Keremeos last evening. R. R. Shuttleworth of Grand Forks and Robert Rolland of the 89 Mile house are registered at the Hotel Jackson. u IrA. E. Howse rode out to Nicola Wed- • nnesday via the One Mile trail. He will return to Princeton by next Wednesday's stage. David Stewart of Grand Forks is in the city. He holds large interests in the Similkameen Co., owning the*' Virginia, Alabama and Noonday properties on Copper mountain. W. G. Sawyer, of the Sawyer Brothers Midway, M. Cruickshanks, S. H. Fraser and D. McArthur of Greenwood, have been exploring Princeton and its g during the week. ' |t*H. S. Joyner and M. K. Rodgj i ieattle, Wash., accompanied by George Cahill, of 20 Mile creek have been visiting Princeton and Copper mountain during the week. Mr. Rodgers is manager of the Marcus Daly properties on 20- Mile having been interested in that section ever since its discovery. JHSeorge R. Naden of Greenwood, and E: B. Fraser of Silverton, rode to Princeton from Keremeos Wednesday. Mr. Naden is managing director of The Bealy Investment and Trust Co. of Greenwood, and it is possible that his company may open a branch in this city. Mr. Fraser is a well-known mine operator of Australia and South Africa. For the past year he has been working silver lead properties in the Slocan district. The gentlemen made a trip to Copper mountain on Thursday accompanied by J. Anderson of the Star, and visited a few of the principal mines. They were very much surprised at the enormous show- ' ings on the Sunset, Gardner, Lost Horse, and other properties, expressing the opinion that it would not be long before Copper mountain and Princeton would be well-known as a great copper producing district. Mr. Naden is also the principal owners of the Keremeos townsite and remarked in referring the growth of Princeton, that Keremeos and Princeton will in time be the most important cities in the Similkameen section, and their citizens should work together in proving the vast wealth of the mineral resources of the entire Similkameen country. os I THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR. ! THE LIZZIE BULLOCK, SEGREGATED BELCHER, AND HUHN AND HUNT-MINE.* Upon arriving at Los Angeles, having five thousand dollars burning in! pocket, and with the conceit that I a practical miner, I was ready and eager to try conclusions with any propositi that required nerve and judgement—the nerve being an actuality and the judgment being-my own conception of J: Wardner's ability. I at once learned that San Francisco was in the throes -of the greatest speculative investment mining stocks that the world had ever known, and I decided to reach the Golden Gate as quickly as possible.. Reaching San Francisco, I put up at the Occidental Hotel, at that time the principal hostelry upon the Pacific Coast. Mackay; Flood -.-and O'Brien, merchants, doctors, lawyers, priests, rich men, poor meen, yes, • even beggarmen and thieves—everybody bought and sold the stocks of the Nevada bonanzas. Well, those of us who there saw some.' pretty lively times and had some sudden experiences. I at o began to play the limit with my cash sources, and in a very few days I ^ more than fifty thousand dollars ahead of the game. How easy it was. I began to seriously blame myself for having wasted so much time in the Lizzie Bullock and the tiresome journeys across the .Mojave Desert. I lived like a prince at the Occidental, and between champagne and success, my head abnormally .. .swollen. It's different now.'. isM§^fe It gradually became known that Jim Wardner, the successful stock 'manipulator, was also a practical miner, and one • day a man came to me and said : "My name is Snowball, and I am a ' stockbroker. I have heard the reports of your activity in the market, and have also learned that you are a practical miner. I -have use for a genuine miner who knows enough to keep his mouth shut. There is a chance to make a tnil- When Mr. Snowball told me his peculiar name I almost laughed in his face", for I thought it must be an assumed one, and that he was "working" me. A wicked thought came into my head—I'll roll you, Mr. Snowball—and I said : " I will call at your office, Mr. Snowball, and there talk over your plans. I - am as you have learned, not only a prac- j tical, but a successful miner. I was a half owner in the Lizzie Bullock." I visited Mr. Snowball's office that day, found that he' was a genuine broker, with, lots of business, and that he was one of the few dealers who believed in having ; some tangible fact upon which to base • calculations. The result of it was that Mr.. Snowball and I started that night for Virginia City, Nevada, which was the fountain source of all the excitement and .fortune-making of the day. Upon arriving at the wonderful mining town, we were met by a Mr. Daly, who was the superintendent, or manager, of the Segregated Belcher, one of the "boom mines;" Examination of the Segregated Belcher convinced me, inexperienced as I was, that tiie property was absolutely value-, less, and was dependent for its reputation . ..solely npon its proximity to the genuine Belcher and the Crown Point Returning to. San Francisco as quickly as possible, I went directly to Webster, Soule & Co., and ordered them to sell Segregated Belcher for me, and to sell it quick. In a very short time Mr. Webster came to me and said that affairs were in | such shape at Virginia City that he would be compelled to ask for large margins upon my sale of Segregated Belcher. He wanted forty eight thousand dollars, and gave it to him, and thought to myself how little these fellows knew of the real situation; then I sauntered back to the Occidental, gave a champagne supper to four of my acquaintances, and retired with supreme confidence that I would soon be recognized as the smartest man in 'Frisco. I got up pretty late the next morning, and after getting out on the street I noticed a good deal of hurry and excitement all about me. I wondered if the market had "gone all to pieces" as I, too, rushed toward the Stock Exchange. It was before the opening hour of the Exchange, but. as I approached it I saw a great crowd of excited men about the curb. In a minute more I was near lough to see that one of J. R. Keene' jpresentatives was standing on an orange wagon and shouting; "I bid ae* dred." Knowing that no stock had approached any such figuere the day before, I asked the man at my elbow : " What stock is he bidding for?" ' Yellow Jacket," ' Why, that closed last night at two hundred and fifty." " Yes; but news came early this: ing that a big bonanza had been struck the lower levels of the Gould and Currie and that the whole bottom of the Comstock is undoubtedly a bed of id silver. Where under heavens have you come from that you haven't heard the news?" M"Frota my bed," I replied vaguely' Then I braced myself for the question: 'Any bids for Segregated Belcher?" "Just a minute ago they -were offering ive hundred dollars for it." For the first time in my life—and I may truthfully say, the last time also—my forsook me. We were standing at rner of California and Montgomery streets, and I was obliged to put my hand .the corner of a building to prevent my falling to the pavement- Then I rallied sufficiently to get back to the hotel, to reach my room'arid get into bed. There I remained ten days, hardly conscious of Jfsurroundings. That was my first and last attack of nervous prostration. When I recovered sufficiently to get out again I learned that Webster, Soule & Co., had failed; that every dollar of my money and $162,500 in addition hand been lost upon my single sale of Segregated Belch- :r. I noticed, however, that the few lajnaintances I met greeted me cordially, made no reference to my loss, and then I discovered that, owing to the tremendous excitement of the days I had been in bed, seemed to be aware that I was a pauper. In fact, a friend took me aside and told me he had a sure thing with Huhn and Hunt, of Pioche, Nev., and advised me to buy at once. He had already left me when Mr. Snowball happened along. To my surprise Mr. Snowball shook hands, with me and greeted me with; "Hello, Jim; where have you been the last two weeks ?'' {tr&t^SN TAX NOTICES.

The gentlemen have shown great enterprise in the fitting up of the mill in the face of the many diffiulties they had to < come. A strong dam has been built ing about 20 feet of a direct fall to powerful 28 inch turbyne wheel installed generating 28 horse power which will be ample to run the mill to its fullest capacity. One hundred and fifty thousanc feet of good saw logs are lying on the ground at the mill ready for cutting Mr. E.

Great credit is due those engagec in the construction, as the work done is finished in a thorough workmanlike manner which guarantees the success o ' the enterprise. Mr. Harry Richardson who is a practical millwright, has given valuable assistance to the company in the construction and erection of the Plant.

THE PRINCETON PUBLISHING CO, The labor interests in British Columbia are now in possession qf a spokesman of their own. The Independent, a weekly paper published in the interests of organized labor and edited by Geo. Bartley has reached the Star office from Vancouver. The labor troubles which have been agitating the province lately and the strong bearing the eight-hour law will have on the coming election is evidently the principal reason for its production. It is a bright, well-edited sheet full of interesting news and should be well patronized by the element ,i| represents. The development work being done by three mining companies in the Similkameen valley will ere long bring three mining camps very prominently before the public. On Copper mountain the Sunset Mining Co. have explored the "Sunset" sufficiently to prove that it will in time be one of the world's great copper mines. On 20 Mile creek the Marcus Daly Syndicate have been working steadily for twelve months, and although the management are very reticent about the results obtained, sufficient information has leaked out to satisfy the mining fraternity that the Nickle Plate Group has, without exception, the richest gold bearing rock on the American continent. The development of other properties surrounding the Nickel Plate, the amount of property acquired by the Daly Syndicate, the application for water powers and mill sites by the company, all go to prove the confidence one of Montana's most conservative mining men has in the future of the gold belt of the Similkameen. The Keremeos Syndicate is the third company who have spent large sums of money in the development of their numerous properties, On the Bullion Group at Ollala creek a tunnel has been driven over 300 feet to tap one of the strongest surface showings in the district. The Syndicate also own the Flagstaff group, the Elk- horn group and a number of claims on Dividend mountain. A visit to the office of the company at Ollala, where Supt. McDougall is alwayj ready to show samples taken from the different properties, will convince the1 most sceptical that transportation and smelting facilities are all that are required to make Keremeos one of the large mining centres of the province. |. Martin stock is stronger in the political market. ' 'Joe'' is a fighter and the harder'the battle the better he likes it. I > Princeton will be busy with matters political during the coming week. Denis Murphy and G. W. Beebe are expected to address a meeting on Monday evening. Every elector in the district should make an effort to be present as it is of vital importance to a growing mining community to have a strong progressive representative in the provincial legislature. The representatives of the Princeton Townsite are not helping the growth of the city any by their present actions. A little more energy is-required in the grading of streets, building of the. Similkameen bridge, and the establishing of a resident agent in the city. Wake up gentlemen and keep in touch with the citizens who are doing their level best to make Princeton the metropolis of the Similka- leen. A tri-weekly pack train service between Keremeos and Princeton, will be started next week b'y Messrsy Hind and Murray. The boys should be encouraged in the enters prise as it will be of great benefit to Princeton in bringing light freight, express and baggage through from points in the Boundary and Kootenay districts. Travellers to Princeton will be provided with saddle horses at Keremeos, while they can depend on their goods and chattels being taken good care of and rushed through to destination as quickly as possible. AS ITHERS SEE VS. In the Similkameen Star, Princeton ind that entire section has a most creditable representative. May its twinkle be long seen in the journalistic firmament. —Phoenix Pioneer. The Similkameen Star, published at Princeton, B. C, is a new and welcome exchange to this office. J.

The publication is a bright newsy eight page paper devoted to the interests of Prince- and the Similkameen country.—Trail The first issue of the Similkameen Star, published at Princeton, came to hand early this week. The publication is a well edited and brightly written pro- auction, and will be a great factor in advancing the interests of that section :'_oi the country.—Kamloops Sentinel. I The -initial number of the Similkameen Star has made its appearance. James Anderson, well known in the city J is manager. The Star has a good field in the rich mining section surrounding Princeton, and if the first issue is earnest of the intentions of the publisher; the paper will be a credit to the town and district.—Greenwood Times. ! The Similkameen Star is ."the ' latest] guide to the benighted -seeker after truth. The Star judging by its first number, is a Rattling good paper, and will help its district to be made even better known than .lready. The Star is printed at the interests of that town .nd the Similkameen country, and here it should be stated the best way into that section, is from Kamloops by the Royal Mail Route.—Kamloops Standard." j We are in receipt of Vol. 1, No. i, of the Similkameen Star, published at Princeton, B.

A number of properties in the vicinity of Keremeos and Ollala creeks are being developed. R. W. Northey arrived from Rossland this week and will start work on his properties facing the town. J. Neil of the Hotel Keremeos and E. Bullock Webster have men at work developing claims which are showing good min? YUNEMAN GROUP. The richest quartz seen in the Keremeos valley was brought to town this week by Louis Yuneman who is working the group which bears his name. The' | claims are situated on the head of Ollala and 15 Mile creeks and were located last, summer. Frank Richter, Nels Steel and Louis Yuneman own equal interests in the group which consists of the Black ifine,. Bushrat, Little Bessie, Far West and Black Jack claims. The work is being done on the Pine claim, where a oT*rosscut has been run, striking across the 'TOiauii ledge and cutting two smaller ledges which parellel it. As far as known the ore body on the main ledge is 5 feet wide, while 16 and 22 inches of fine quartz carrying free gold is found on.the JA smaller ledges. The specimens brought ui by Yuneman show free gold distributed all through the quartz, which is seamed with fine arsenical iron. Assays maaaiast fall gave gold values of $196 and $146 from the small veins and an average of $20 from the 3-foot ledge. Development work will be carried on steadily during the summer and the work done on this group will help greatly to prove the richness of the Keremeos mineral belt, ■ HSubscribe for the Similkameen Star.
