A PROMISING COMMUNITY. A Resident of Ollala Expresses His Unbounded Faith in the Future ^o of Lower Similkameen. W. C. McDougall, of Olalla, who ha been visiting in Rossland for seven weeks has returned home. In speaking of his own town and country to the Rossland Record, he gives the following interesting account of the new mining camp: Said he, "Olalla—the new camp —lies a few miles above the confluence of Keremeos creek with the Similkameei river, in the Keremeos creek valley. The valley at Olalla is about one-third of mile in width between the enclosing ranges, on the east and west respectively, tbe direction of the valley being north and south. Olalla is purely and simply a mining town, and will beeome a of great importance, as the great mineral belt of the lower Similkameen region :>ss7tojK$n/ deep valley where^-^the town huge mineral bodies, which [nder of all who have visited them, crop out on the sides and precipitious faces of tbe ranges on each side of the "I dont know of another point o continent'where similarly favorable ditions exist for the rapid opening and operation of a number bf mines, all rounding one common center and from which a dozen extensive properties, possessing wonderful ore bodies, can be reached as easily as the Le Roi hoist can be from the post-office in Rossland. "I believe that Olalla cannot fail to become a great payroll mining center. Already a postoffice, minjfcg recorder's officJ^assay_office, a good" Eojgf and a building for storej!ttrposes__are ready for occupation, besides a number of private houses. "The climatic conditions are perfect. In this latitude snow never lies ground beyond a few weeks, even in the seasons.

Some splendid shipping ore of high grade is being taken out of the Iron Mask from the ioo-foot level, where a cross-cut is being run. This property, which has had a black eye thro ugh the country on acconnt of its having been so inactive, now bids fair to become one of the most famous mines ofthe province. John Redman and A. N. Gray, manag ing director of the Kimberly Coppe: Mines, paid a visit to the Copper King yesterday, where work has been in gress for the past week. The old shaft is being properly timbered up and the face squared out for a shaft house. The first shots which had been put into face of the drift showed up a magnificent face of ore, there being two bands of solid bornite 18 inches and 12 inches in width respectively, besides three feet of good medium grade ore. Six sacks ful bornite were picked out from the broken by the first round of shots, number, of business men in town probably pay a visit to this property about the end of the week. Ore is sacked for shipment and it is expected that s car of the highest grade ore ever shipped j from this camp will be sent to the Trail smelter about Christmas time—Sentinel, DIVIDEND PROMISED.

If Capital is fct£ looking for high grade copper prop- Ac/erties-^ye can supply them. We prope have also)free.millii ties which will compare favorably j ■with any yet found in British Co-] lumbia. For silver-lead the Summit camp in our section supplies the | richest kind of that ore. Our placer mines are still being worked and with improved modern methods of working are capable of paying well. Last, but not least, we have coal. And when we say coal, we do not mean that we have just discovered a coal prospect, with' surface croppings which would indicate that a body of coal exists somewhere in the vicinity. The Similkameen country around Princeton is a huge coal basin where numerous seams of coal, varying from 5 to 8 feet in thickness, are to be found. Give us railroad facilities and our coal fields will be worthy competitors of the Crow's Nest and the Nanaimo collieries. The immense smelting industry of the Boundary country will provide a splendid market for our fuel. Already a scarcity of coke has been noticed in the Kootenays, the Trail smelter having had to close down two of its furnaces lately on that account. Coal and coke for the Boundary smelters could be supplied from the Similkameen with a haulage of only 130 miles as against nearly 400 miles from the Crow's Nest collieries. The low grade ores of the Boundary make it imperative that every possible effort be made to reduce the cost of smelting and the heaviest item of smelting is that of fuel. With the advent of a railroad therefore, the Similkameen is assured of a market which will cause her coal mines tol be a vertiable hive of industry. A HELPFUL UNDERTAKING. The formation of a Chamber .ofj Mines in Rossland is a step in the! right direction. Some years ago a few mining men in Vancouver en- deavored to establish such an insti -1 tution in the terminal city, but the I venture was not a success. Rossland is perhaps the only city in the province, able to support a well conducted Chamber of Mines. Men who are interested in almost every I mining camp in British' Columbia make that city their headquarters and conduct their operations from that point. Rossland is gradually becoming the recognized mining centre of the province, and as such is tbe most desirable location for a mining bureau. An incorporated School of Mines will also be established in the city, the provincial government have already made a grant of $2500 for that purpose. Everyone interested in the mining industry of the province should do their utmost to secure the success of the new venture, by seeing that reliable information is furnished all official correspondents. New districts, like our own will be greatly benefitted by having their resources advertised under the auspices of such an organization as its report will be influential in inducing capital to develop promising prospects in every mining camp in the pro- WHAT THE EDITORS SAY. Over 1,200 tons of ore will be going out of Phoenix camp daily some time in January. If Rossland does not increase, Phoenix will easily be first in the province then.—Pioneer. The local newspaper, says the Fort Steele Prospector, is the best friend any community can have, does more to advance the material interests of a town than any other form of advertisement. Support yonr home paper and you will come out The Minister of Mines, Hon. Richard McBride, has a great opportunity in his present visit to Kootenay. He enters the district a stranger, not biased for or against either of the contending interests', and if his diplomacy can reconcile the parties and win their confidence he will have scored a great point towards the successful administration of his department. — Columbian. Many journals in Ontario, smarting under the pain of defeat, are raising the race cry against the FreHch^~^r^§~5^TJh--^€tiolIs that breed rebellion, and~cause~i'hell to breakToose7 where all should be unity and harmony. Without these ingredients the political pie in Canada will become sour dough, and the progress of the country arrested because all cannot vote or think alike. Every newspaper in the mining districts of the province contains notices that go to show that the amendment to the Mineral Act allowing the adyertising^mt-ef-delin- quent co-owners is__w_orking satisfactorily. This is a piece of legislation that required twelve years tol bring about, the first newspaper published in Kootenay advocating it in 1888. It took almost as long to bring about legislation abolishing the five-dollar tax on men working in mines—Tribune. Alex. Laurent, an Indian who stopped a Chinaman on the street and forcibly possessed himself of some smoking tobacco, the property of the aforesaid Chinaman, has been committed for trial in Kamloops on a charge ot highway robbery. According to the reports of the proceeding that have reached the coast; the case is one of those trivialties so roundly condemned by the grand jury at New Westminster on the occasion of the last assizes. The value of the tobacco alleged to have been appropriated would be possibly a few cents at the most, yet the unlucky Indian prisoner must main in jail for months before even he can have a trial.—Province.
