THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR. ^7-V An Important Announcement An important announcement was made in Montreal on Monday morning, Aug. 13th, by Mr. C. R. Hosmer, director of the Centre Star and War Eagle mines, British Columbia, also director of the Canadian Pacific railway, to the effect that a deal was on with the C. P. R. by which that company was to handle and is understood to be $2,000,000 annually. Mr. Hosmer said that the shipments from both mines are being held pending the signing of the agreement by which .he War Eagle would receive special ' terms for transportation and smelting. Tbis. Mr. Hosmer said, would so reduce the cost of mining that it would be possible to profitably mine lower grade ore than had been hitherto. Under this agreement, it was further added, War Eagle and Centre Star would ship a minimum of 1,000 tons per day. Tne Bkckstock-Gcoderham party, who left Momieal several weeks ago, are expected to reach Rossland on the 20th inst, when it is understood the deal will be consummated. The Duke Got the Cigar. Some months ago Mr. W. H. Knowles, registrar of births, marriages and deaths, Great Harwood, Eng., addressed an velope as follows: "To the officer who hoists the Union Jack (when that happy event takes place), Pretoria, "South Africa1" Mr. Knowles enclosed a cigar and a note: "Thanks 1 Have a cigar?" As the war was so protracted he feared the envelope and contents had fallen into the hands of the Boers, and that one of them had enjoyed a good cigar at his expense. The other day, however, he received the following autograph letter from the Duke of Westminster, dated Government House, Pretoria, June 7, "Dear Sir,—I write to say that I y t the officer who hoisted the Union Jack - ' over Pretoria, in consequence of which I received an excellent cigar, which Lord Roberts gave to me, having been forwarded by you.

Capitalists would then know under exactly what conditions they would operate and would not be, as in the past, in constant dread of radical changes made without proper consideration and without consulting the parties interested, by whom I ^^nesyi the capitalist, mine owner, : prospector, working miner and laborer. IMPROVED MAIL SERVICE. Now that the Princeton-Keremeos is certain to be completed this fall, a strong effort should be made to urge the postal authorities to give Princeton improved mail service. It is necessary that mail from the Boundary and Kootenay districts should reach here with as little delay as possible. The mining community are closely connected with Greenwood, Grand Forks and « Rossland, and with the present \n miserable service it is impossible to u I receive a reply from any of these / vpoints under three weeks' time.

The regular excuse used by the postmaster-general in answer to requests for improved service is ' 'that the returns from the local post office do not warrant any further expenditure." Surely the authorities are not so unreasonable as to draw a comparison between a go-ahead western mining camp and the snaillike growth of an eastern village. A mining town, as everyone knows, is likely to grow into a city of several thousands within a few months, thereby warranting any extra expenditure that may be made. On the other hand an eastern village, situated in an older and more thickly populated community, with a much slower growth, would not warrant any extra effort being put forth oh that account. We sincerely hope and believe that the postal authorities will come to view this matter in the right light, and that before long we will be blessed with a much needed improved mail > EDITORIAL COMMENT. < When some men are asked for an ad or a few- locals they will say that they don't believe in advertising—a paper is never read anyhow. But what an awakening they have after they have been caught hugging someone's servant girl, chasing some loose bit of calico up the street after dark or struggling through forbidden pastures with a load of booze.

Turnerism is provincial legislation for Vancouver Island, the needs of the province as a whole being a secondary consideration. Turnerism is rapidly dying out, thanks to the growth of the mining districts in the interior of the province, and when a proper redistribution bill is passed, Turnerism will be a thing of the past. If neglecting the needs ofi the mining districts, which were building up the principal industry of the province, and catering only to the wants of Viotjttia and the island generally, meant prosperity, then Turnerism is, prosperity, as the Standard would have it understood. As far as not understanding what Turnerism means, we would commend to the Standard the old adage, "There is none so blind as those who will not see." John Houston, member for Nelson riding, joking offered togive up $200 of the appropriations granted his district in the estimates, as the sum granted exceeded his request by that amount. Turn it over to West Yale John ! We can use it to advantage in this great Similkameen country, and if you can persuade the other 36 members to con. tribute $200 each we will confer on you the freedom of the city when you visit the metropolis of the youngest and most promising mining district in British Columbia.

Like the deputation from Princeton, Mr. Rob' inson came away frcftn the capital in a happy frame of mind, for although all he asked for may not be granted this year, the prospects are very good. He says there is little doubt bnf that a start will be made on the construction, and the road will be pushed through as far as Glen Robinson, a distance of fifteen miles, in any event. The estimated cost of this work is $6,500, and he is of the opinion that with the addition of another $8,500, the highway from Peachland to Princeton could be completed.

The milkai ntry is coming to the front a good deal lately. Several big strikes have been made in Camp Hedley which is considered one of the principal high grade mining camps in southern British Columbia. The ore bodies are large and well defined, mostly found ir contacts and chiefly composed of arsen ical iron carrying high values in gold. The principal mine is the Nickel Plate and surrounding properties, which is owned and operated by the Marcus Daly syndicate.

This probably will call for the jployment of large additional forces sides those which are now in China. trmises as to whether the United States, Ciseat Britain and Japan will also share therein or leave the burden to Russia, .France, and, above all, to Germany, fill the papers today. The German govern- iment adheres to the view that perfect harmony prevails among the powers, regarding immediate action in China. Herr von Brandt, a former minister to China, in the missionary organ, Christche Welt, puts the largest amount of blame for the i Chinese outbreak on the missionaries, citing a mass of evidence in support of "'rVjdassertions, He says two-thirds of the II Ink of the legation and consulates in ' V/pta had been occasioned by the corn's, demands and claims of mission- The Copper Market. This column has from the first consistently combated the theory, rathei strenualy maintained in some quarters, that copper must go the way of other metals and suffer severe declines value. Such a view has the support of analogy, and it cannot be denied that speculation has played a certain part holding up copper quotations. But the "bulls" have had nature on their side, and the basic facts have been with them. They are still with them; so far as we can see, and in our judgment the talk of "liquidation" in copper and a sudden descent to old-time prices is nonsensical. Our copper production for the first six months of the year increased 10,000 tons, or eight per cent, over last year, while our exports in the same period increased nearly one-third.

HARTMAN- W. \i THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR. ^^ VV AN EXPERT OPINION Mr. J. Moran. Representing Montana Capital, Looking Through the Similkameen Country — Favorably Impressed— Coast Railway Wanted. Mr. J. Moran, whose arrival in Princeton was mentioned in our last issue, has now returned to Aspen Grove, and will probably not be in Princeton again till the spring. During his stay, Mr. Moran visited most of the important mining properties in the district, and was extremely well pleased with .what he has seen. He was especially impressed with the showing of high grade ore on Copper mountain, and is understood to have become interested financially in a promising group of claims there. Speaking of the district as a whole, Mr. Moran said: "I do not think any section of British Columbia has shown, at a corresponding stage of development, a greater prospect of mineral productiveness. Ore, especially of copper, is found here in several localities in bodies which appear on the surface, or in the comparatively shallow prospecting holes that have been dug, to give certain evidence of their capacity of being turned into mines of great rnagn; tude. The district, too, equally in cl; mate, available timber supply and other . conditions, is an ideal one for mining operations." "But," he continued, with emphasis, "I tan tell you this, you can never have anything more than a prospecting camp here ftll you have a rail- way to carry out your ores, or the matte . that might be produced from them. Some here seem to think that a wagonjaad, out to Hope would give the necessary facilities. That is a—mistake, for a wagon road 70 miles long through a mountainous country would take the cream off any mining that might be none. Such a road, while it would be extremely valuable in aiding in the initial development of the country through which it runs, would only be used for the shipment of sample lots of ore, to show the outside world the richeess of the district." "No; you must have a railway before you can have genuine progress; and it seems to me that capital should not be timid about going into such an enterprise right away. There wonld be paying business from the start. The deposits of coal in this district are magnificent and apparently inexhaustible. This cgal—ia-itgeif would give a railway business^ enough to begin with, not to speak at all of metalliferous "I notice," continued Mr. Moran, "that the business men of the coast cities are now lending a hand to secure a railway direct to the coast. That is the road to be preferred, and if its building is long delayed, coast merchants will in- . evitably lose the business of this great ^district, just as they have lost that of the Kootenays." Mr. Moran represents Montana capital and has negotiated a number of very important deals, particularly in the Slocan, during the several years he has been in the province.
