The great mineral zone on Copper mountain I is about 2,000 feet wide and 8,000 feet I long, besides the mammoth ore bodies ^ from 10 feet to 300 feet wide, breaking out from this great mother lode, and cutting through the country for miles. I don't expect anybody in the outside world will take any stock at present figures; only experts and mining men that have actually examined the mountain and surrounding country, and the most of them dare not tell one-quarter of what they have seen. In the near future it will keep more than one transcontinental railway to do the business of Copper mountain and vicinity. -"^A^aQr 'The Sunset is the only prospect or mine in British Columbia that has stood up against the hard times and not slumped in price, and when I return to Grand Forks the Sunset Copper Co. will advance the shares from_i5to2; Mr. Fred.

After trying to make trouble again at French & Day's, he finally left muttering words of threat and revenge. This is not the first offence of this kind which Charlie has been guilty of, and it is about time some one took such steps to place him where he will do no harm, which he certainly will do if left to go his own way much longer.

From Nicola south to the boundary line extends a mineral country that in which you find placer gold as well as lodes of gold, copper, silver, lead, and extensive beds of first class coal. Princeton is bound to be a large city, as it is located in the southern part of the mineral belt as well as Copper mountain. Speaking of Copper mountain, I am pleased exceedingly with the results of the development going.on. On the Lost Horse a'one we have a vein nearly eighty feet wide, with an immense surface showing, the like of which I have never seen equalled anywhere. Our ore is not bornite, as many suppose, but chalco- prites or yellow copper. This is the class of ore most desired by the smelters. Very little additional work will bring the Lost Horse mine to the front rank among the young properties of the province. No treasury stock has yet been placed on the market, as the intention of the company is to bring the mine to a shipping basis before offering the stock to the public.

'?«° n Ar THE .0OLVILLE INDIAN RESERVE be Opened for Settlement < Tenth of Next Month. e president has, by proclainati ed for settlement 1,500,000 of rich farming land in the north half of the Colville reservation. This reservation lies in the northeastern part of Washington state, fifty miles north w est of Spokane, one hundred and fifty miles northeast of the capital, Olympia, and one hundred miles east and north of Seattle. It borders on the Canadian boundary, and is about thirty miles from Greenwood, B. C. In addition this land possessing great fertility, it is also known that it is rich in minerals — gold, silver and copper showing themselves in many parts of the reservation. The Indians, without exception, make no attempt to take advantage of the underground richness. influence brought to bear, the government finally opened the the whites for the purposes of " mining only That was oflly four r flocked into the country succeeded in opening up hundreds of exceptionally rich gold, silver and coppei mines. Camps sprung up all over the country. The Republic camp was one of the first to attract the attention of the ii vestors and "miners, and the result is that' t xlay its mines are valued away up ir the millions. One single claim in this rich camp is selling on a basis of five million dollars, and many othersTare considered of equal value. At the same time, all of the interest was not confined to this camp. Toroda, Myers creek, Baker creek, Yakima and many other camps proved that the toil and money spent in the prospecting and developing of these camps were richly rewarded. The American miner, when given a foothold, insists on everything between the boundaries, and by constant efforts and great political influence, Congi was finally prevailed upon to open purposeg^gg well as mining. The Indians we're each given a farm, or allotment. This was done before the to be thrown open. It seems that this section of the gov eminent has not been wideljfvfeown out side the immediate vicinity of the reservation, and it is not attracting the attention of the general public like did that of the opening of the Cherokee strip, yet it is well known that in richness of soil • addition -to the vast amount of precious metals it contains, it has many times the value of that country. This seeming lack of publicity of the opening has been the fault of those who expected to profit by it. There is not only ample territory for all of those who are watching the day when the proclamation will allow them to take up farms, but room for thousands In anticipation of the speedy and and substantial growth and development of this reservation, new towns have sprung up ingif&rcnt -J5arts of the reservation— some very substantial—and all feeling the utmost faith in the ultimate success "of their towns. Shrewd' business men, bankers and merchants have moved in, and have imported large stocks of goods, and it does seem that their foresight will be rewarded by great financial success. The principal towns which have been started since the reservation was thrown open for mining will be found in the northern part of the reservation. On that part, close to the eastern line, where the principal part of the Indian allotA ments have been made, will be found in the northern part of the reservation. On that part, close to the eastern line, where the principal part of the Indian allotments have been made, will be found the thriving towns of Bolster, Chesaw and Toroda. To the west of this is Baker creek, which has also proven itself to be both rich in minerals, as well as admirably adapted for farming and stock raising. In the midst of this country is built the town of Molson, which, only a few months ago, was an expanse of prairie, and is now by far the largest and most solid town of the reservation, with the exception of the town of Republic, which is located in the midst of Republic camp. The town of Molson being the most accessible to the people coming in from the north, for the purpose of acquiring farms, and on acoount of its promising mines, is destined to become the city of the reservation, though in a new country like this, other new towns might spring up, which might be backed by rich mines, which would outstrip this or any other town in the reservation. This, at least, is the view of the Col- ville Reservation Syndicate, of which Canadians are at the head. The president is John W. Molson,"*Montreal; vice- president, E. B. Greenshields Montreal; and secretary-treasurer, D. E. Cameron, Montreal. The opening of the reservation is to be made on the 10th of October Princeton merchants all carry Blue Ribbon Extracts. .

THE SNARLING OF THE NATIONS. The following very apt article, relating to the present crisis in Chit a, appears in a late issue of Collier's Weekly, and is well worth reprinting: Never, since he wrote it, perhaps, has one poignant line of Tennyson seemed more pertinent than now. That line from "Locksley Hall"— "And the nations do but murmur, snarling at each other's heels." It is imperatively needful that all the great powers should unite in a sane and expeditious plan of rescue and pacification. But if they only murmur, only snarl at each other's heels, the spectacle will prove shabby and disgraceful indeed. For that matter, not a few clear-thinking Englishmen are convinced that it may bring about a big, calamitous European war. Japan is the one country so positioned that she can act with promptitude in this bitter crisis. But Japan hates Russia for having appropriated the spoils of her recent successful contest with China. On the other hand Germany desires, above all things, to conciliate the Slav. So, of course, does France, as she incessantly shows. The reasons of this double genuflection are obvious. But of late France has exhibited such hate of England that it would really appear (ever since the so-called "settlement" of the FashgdflLiiQuJjle) as if the new antipathy were not threatening to diminish the old. Indeed, a Conservative London journal recently made the startling announcement that France^durinp the pqst few months, has beensteadily preparing for a-naval war wit'' TMiftl'U]r1 She has expended~£2,4oo,ooo, it is affirmed, upon special and 'extraordinary armaments, the provision of spare ammunition, the remodelling of -her coast defences. Thus, in good truth, do the nations keep up their mutual snarlings. And in the end, if China be invaded and punishment dealt, one shudders to think what turmoil of wrangling greeds may make her the vast fresh battlefield of our new century. LAW AND ORDER WANTED, Wherever the British flag floats law and order are supposed to prevail, affording protection to those living under it. We are sorry to say that such is, apparently, not the case in Princeton, as was apparent to all those who witnessed the attempted shooting affair on Thursday evening. A man, crazed with liquor, draws a gun on an other, only being prevented from carrying out his fiendish intention by the timely action of bystanders, who immediately disarmed him. at great personal risk. He is then allowed to parade the street making all kinds of evil threats. Not satisfied with bis first murderous attempts, he returns later in the night armed with a knife, threatening to kill. And where is the strong arm of the law all this time. Echo answers where. Surely it is high time the citizens were rising up and demanding proper protection from such aces as these. If our present constable is incapable of performing his duty, let us have one that is, and that without delay. There is evidently some in this community who make light of such violations of the law, and do not think there is any harm in attempting a man's life, even going so far as preventing an officer discharging his duty in such a case. The sooner such ideas are dispelled the better, for British law we must have, and have it respected, too. Emperor Willie refuses to be bluffed by the Bear, and in turn orders him out of China. The Local Legislature adjourned l Tuesday last. The members will no doubt enjoy a much needed rest. Mayor Van Wyck, of New York, has got the frost from the people of that city, so it is said. No wonder ; he tried to get a corner on the ice trust. The sum voted by the Imperial Government to carry on the war in South Africa is something over seventy-five million pounds. A pretty costly business, outside of the lives that it has cost. Mr^Wm^Sloan, of Nanaimo, has been asked to run as an independent candidate at the approaching federal election for the seat lately occupied by Mr. W. B. Mclnnes. Mr. Sloan would make an exceptionally good member, though probably not so windy as "My boy Willie." The U. S. postoffice department has decided to maintain the mail communication between the United States and Nome city throughout the winter by the overland route, This will be some satisfaction to the many unfortunates who were led to seek their fortunes in the brightly painted gold fields of No The Dawson Daily News hits it abo"uf light, w lieu it says that one the principal reasons English companies have not made a financial success of mining in the Klondike, particularly, is because they send out as managers men who totally incompetent to conduct the business, whose only qualificati are that they have the pull. The . passing by the Provincial Legislature, of the bill to enable the construction of the Grand Forks & Kettle rivertraikeSd, is regarded with the greatest satisfaction in Grand Forks. It is there expected that the railroad now authorized ill be built speedily and on being connected with a line running south to the mining country, in which are the Republic and other mines, se large shipments of Washington ores, useful for fluxes, to be made "to the Granby smelter. The resolution declaring that, in the opinion of the House, the salaries of the Supreme and County Court judges should be placed on an equality with those of the Ontario judges, is a very reasonable one. We are aware that some grounds can be given why judges in certain provinces should receive higher salaries than in others. In order to secure the services of leading members of the bar, the salaries in the larger provinces must necessarily be somewhat higher than in the smaller provinces. But British Columbia is a province where all the conditions are such that the salaries here should be put at as high a figure as in any part of Canada. The amounts involved in litigation here are frequently very large; the questions are important; the earnings of leading members of the bar are very considerable, and the expenses of living here are great. We think the case made out for the increase of pay is unanswerable.—Colonist. ^ NOTICE, /fay ?

General Baden-Powell, a few days ago, attacked Gen. Grobelaar, near Warnj Baths, and then prepared to bivouac a night. As soon as it was dark, Baden Powell's whole force made a detour anc at down was sixteen miles in Grobeh Baden-Powell tapped the Boer line to Petersburg, and sent an urgent request for reinforcements. The Boer commandant wired that a train would leave immediately. Thereupon Baden - Powel 1 prepared to waylay the train, but the Boers learned of his presence. Baden- Powell then summoned Grobelaar's force to surrender. The negotiations were ceeding when the British commander was last heard from. Reports are received at Vlackfonti that the Boers are disheartened. General Botha, before his flight,, plied to the burghers, reminding them of their promise to make a last stand at Machadodorp, but they would not fight again, running away out of shame. Late despatches from Lord Roberts show that the British are getting a firm hold on the Delagoa bay railway. Sir Redvers Buller's mounted troops have reached Nooit Gdacht, where nearly 3,000 British prisoners, who were confinec by the Boers, have been released. It is uncertain whether the main body of General Botha's army is retiring east or north toward Lydenburg. In the former case the end of the campaign shoulc. be close at hand; otherwise guerrilla operations may be further prolonged. Meanwhile a little more fighting, probably on a small scale, is reported from the Orange river colony, near the Basuto frontier, which shows that resistance is not entirely stamped out, even in that quarter. President Kruger, with some of his chief officials, is at Pilgrim's Rest, i wild, mountainous district northeast of Lydenburg. THE CHINESE MIX-UP. A special London despatch from Berlin says it is rumored fWmany has rejected the Russian proposal for the withdrawal of thetroops. and has made a counter proposal that Russia shall retire, leaving the other nations to~Tollow their own Shanghai reports are to the effect that heavy French reinforcements are landing at Taku. Li Hung Chang, it is stated, has told a diplomatist that Russia, considering the mission to Peking accomplished, has agreed to request the powers to follow her example and withdraw her ministers and troops. The French < sul, however, declares that such a request to France is entirely improbable. According to a news agency's reports, there is not much doubt in London official circles as to the attitude of Great Britain. It is pointed out that the withdrawal from Peking at the present moment without a definite understanding with the Chinese government, would be simply courting a recurrence of recent events. No understanding by Li Hung would compensate for the difficulties of further negotiations. Until the powers receive a direct assurance from the Chi nese government, England is not prepar ed to withdraw her troops. The course of the British government is being awaited with keen interest, no only for its effect upon the present question, but because of the pait it will have in maintaining the accord between the powers. There is a noticeable feeling among some of the foreign representa tives at Washington that Great Britain will decline to accept the plan and wil thereby become isolated from the rest of the powers. ' The Czarjias ordered Gen. Linevitch, the entire Russian forces, m. De Giers and legation staff, to leave Peking . im mediately, and go to Tientsin.

Editor Star—Sir: I cannot commend too highly the public-spirited action of Mrs. Allison in opening a school for the teaching of her own children and those of other residents of the immediate district. The pity is that she had not done so long ago. It would have been of value to herself and others in many ways. The people of the district have long recognized and fully appreciated the energv and self-reliance of this lady, and her her actions in the past. The estimable Mrs. Allison, during her nSw somewhat lengthened life, has had the charge of bringing up some sfV",fpfii rhilflrrn of what may be taken as her own household, and who shall say that with this appreciate fully the losses that have occurred through the educational deficiencies of the past.
