Vol. in. No. 6. PRINCETON, MAY 17, 1902. RICH ORE STRIKE R. A. Brown has 25 Feet on Wol- verine. Without any noi«e or blare of trumpets R. A. Brown for some time past has been quietly developing the ^jmOh£nne, a portance to the Volcanic as a world beater. Wednesday, wnen he brought down an experimental shipment to the Granby smelter, he made the startling announce ment that he had cross cut 25 feet of solid shipping ore without encountering the hanging wall. Mr. Brown naturally feels elated, and is disposed to regard the strike as one of the most important ev made in the Boundary. The footwall Development work is being rusht- and it is likely that regular shipments A; will be Parted shortly. The claim is oated on the west side of the north fork, about two and one half miles from ' ■< exceptional shipping es, as the C. P. R. track is a :d feet below the workings, will ask the C. P.

BILL PRESENTED TO LEGISLATURE For Building of Coast-Kootenay and Canada Northern Railways. Late Coast papers contain the news oi the bringing down by the government of a bill for the construction of two lines of] railway, the Coast-Kootenay and the Can' ada Northern. To aid the Canada Northern, the gov- eminent will pay for the first fifty miles Of railway, commencing at or near Bute | Inlet, the sum of $4,800 per mile ; from the end of the said first fifty miles tc point nearest Quesnel to the eastern boundary of British-Columbia, at or neai Yellowhead Pass, the sum $4,500 pei mile ; and also 20,000 acres of land for each mile of railway, the Company to sell the land at the current price of government lands, and to accept the cash subsidy in British Columbia 3 per cent. Inscribed Stock. For the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern, the government offers $4,000 a mil the westerly 80 miles ; for the next miles, $4,800 a mile, and for the other no miles, $4,000 a mile. The railway must connect with the Victoria Terminal Railway & Ferry Company's line foi Victoria. The Canada Northern must also run t ferry to Vancouver Island, and a railway down Vancouver Island to Victoria. The government also introduced a to borrow $3,000,000 to aid the railways, to pay the overdraft, and to carry on other public works': $25,000 FOR A HALF INTEREST. A halfTnterest in the Pfjjvijlence mine near "Greenwood, has been bonded foi $25,000 by Greenwood parties. The sun of $8,000 was paid in cash, and the balance of $17,000 is to be paid in three, six and nine months. The new owners believe they can soon take out enough ore to pay the balance on the bond. At a depth of 50 feet, 30 inches of splendid ore showing free gold, galena, and copper, has been uncovered; that is the admiration of all who have AH EXPLANATION. If you notice a number of forlorn look ing ladies wandering in an aimless manner through the wet grass in the early morning, do not jump at the hasty elusion that troubled consciences have banished sleep from their eyes and drove them forth to seek rest in the contemplation of Nature's beauties at this unusual hour. No! You would be mistaken, they are simply looking for mnshrooms. ROCHE RIVER. ' Messrs. Pouwels and Bonnevier are leaving for Roche River where they intend doing considerable work on the Red Star. They have already exposed on this claim about three feet of the highest grade copper-gold ore in the district. It is thei- intention to leave their present workings and drive a tunnel lower down the hill. By this means they will cross cut a mineralized zone about 40 feet wide, in which the Ore chute on which th'ey have been working occurs, and they confidently expect to strike other pay chutes of a similar nature in driving the 40 foot tunneh'^ Jas. Hamilton, who prospected on the Roche last summer has returned to start work on his claims the Vernon and M to, which he located. These claims located about i'/2 miles up the Roche the north side. Mr. Hamilton reported finding som£_rifch copper glance on- of them. THE BANNER CLAIM. Jas.

The entire cut is in ore of a fair grade. At the bottom of the cioss cut some very fine ore was coming in, specimens brought to town showing copper pyrites, arsenical iron, and galena. The Banner has every appearance of being a very valuable prop- THE DIAMOND DRILLS. / The drill which has been broujjd/t in by the Similkamee*jL_J£aUey Coal Co., Lt'd., makes the, third now in this dist- The Vermilion Forks Mining and Development Co., have been steadily operating theirs on the townsite for the past month or more, and are now down se al hundred feet.

Rev. Mr. Mason wishes to announce that there will be no service at Princeton or Ashnola on Sunday the 18th inst. In future Mr. Mason will be here every alternate Sunday, the needs of the lower country making his absence necessary every other week. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Ed.
