SIMILKAMBH Published in the Interest of Princeton and Similkameen District. No. 36. PRINCETON, B. C, SATURDAY, DEC. ist, 1900. $2.00 Per Year I1 I Keremeos Road. Work on the Keremeos-Princeton road has received another set-back, by orders ported the first of the week that those on the other end of the road had also been taken ofl", but later on this was found to have been false, as several parties coining np from Keremeos 'say that work is still being pushed ahead at that end of the road and that the people in that section evinced a great deal of surprise and in- "dignation at the fact that work had been discontinued on the upper portion of the road. No satisfactory reason has been and the short cold "snap of th: days, had abated before the orders were given. It is claimed that withtwoweeks more.vnith_Jthe-fuiTe Llnri^jya^aT work wr.ni^ hav fi"'o1iH—tlT> road so that teams could have gone through. It is reported that the remaining crew have orders to push on into this district as soon as they get their portion done. It is to be hoped this is true, as it seems to be the only source of relief to be had from this situation of delays and pro- - crastination. Mr. A. B. Slater returned from his hunting trip to Ashnola last evening, where he was successful in procuring aim the finest hearts-of that much prized an- imal'JT'uie Big Horn," that country has produced. The horns measure fullj 18 inches and Mr. Slater feels that he is anipl^ repaid for his trip. He leaves on tomorrow's stage for his home in England, travelling via Vancouver and San Francisco. He expects to sail from New York in time to reach home for Christmas, when he will meet his brother who has just returned from the South African campaign. Mr. Slater will probably visit Princeton again next summer and repeat his hunting trip. Vancouver Waking Up. It is with great satisfaction that The Province notes today the formation of the Vancouver Citizen's Association for the express purpose of advancing the interests of this city. The suggestion that citizens should so organize was made in these columns some time ago and it is gratifying to observe that it has now been acted upon. The new association has plenty of useful work at hand, and it is trusted that no effort will be spared towards making its work a success. The necessity of direct steamship communication with the north, the establishment of the mint in Van- N couver, and direct railway connec- VV tion with the Similkameen, Kere- VNneos and Kootenay districts are fi Yee serviceable planks in a pro- gn Vsive platform. \ Ml three are absolutely needed if this city is ever to become the great comi nercial port which its best frien\ ds believe it destined to be, and ik \o citizen can consider any effort tJW>o great' in the endeavor to obtAJr\ them. Christ Christmas Tree. tions for a royal good time on 1 eve in the Harris-Mcintosh hall. It is the intention to have a programme of songs and recitations after which will come the High Jinks for the young ones which will consist of a genuine Santa Claus, with a complete out-fit of toys, candies, nuts and popcorn, and may be an apple thrown in for the good boys and girls.- Every boy and girl from Otter Flat to 20-Mile is invited to come, and will receive some token of remetn- berance of the day of Christ's birth. The older ones are also cordially invited and probably if they are right good they will receive some candy also. After the Chrstmas tree there will be a grand ball and lunch for which 50 cents will be School Question Again. The school question was revived again by the arrival on last-Saturday's stage of Mr. Wm. Burns, ckief Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Burns was driven down to the Allison townsite, and on returning to Princeton was shown the proposed school site at this place and Princeton's advantage as a central location for a school. Inspector Burns is satisfied that. the Princeton location will answer the immediate requirements of the district. A temporary building can be found for the school and a teacher selected pending the completion of the new school house. The government will forward the necessary djptfetions for the election of the School Trustees, and as soon as they are appointed, a teacher can be chosen to carry on Princeton's educational system. Personal flention. In this issne we publish by request an article on "Good Roads," which we are only too glad to give space in our columns. We are very much in need of roads of any description and we have an idea that even a bad road would be acceptable in preference to none" at all. This portion of the country should co-operate in every way possible in the movement, which is bound to be of great benefit to the whole Work was started the middle of the week in getting out the timbers for the Similkameen bridge. SiniLKAHEEN RAILROAD BOOH. \MZ* Another application for a railway charter has been received at the Star office. The new charter provides for a line of railway commencing at Vancouver thence running to Westminister, crossing the Fraser river and proceeding to Hope on the south bank, thence following the Coquekahla, Cold Water, Otter and Tulameen rivers to Princeton, thence to Grand Forks via the Similkameen River, Osooyos Lake Kettle River and Midway. The application also asks power to build branches to Nicola Lake and.to the head waters of the Tulameen. The new charter practically covers the best route of the much talked of Coast and Kootenay line and will receive the support of every resident in the district. K/^ Government Buildings. ynjthis issue will be found an advertisement for bids for the^-building of the Government buildinga^Princeton. The story will be one story high, with a large basement, 46x45 in dimentions. It is thought by some that owing to cost of material in this part of the country, the plans arifl gpwifiparipnfi fgntintfrp carried out <Vvr fin» Tnffnpy appropriate Considerable of tlie material will have to be shipped in from outside points, which will cause delay and a great deal of extra expense. It is to be regretted that those who drew up the plans could not have foreseen these difficulties and made the plans according to the circumstances. It is pretty hard for those at. the coast to realize that Princeton is in an issolated condition and that the cost of such items as oak, countejs^cedar posts, etc, when have been far out of proporH '>.p their real value. • Travellers to Hartford Junction over the wagon road, by day or night, should carry a good rifle, Last Wednesday one of the drivers for Vaughan & Mclnnis, whose slaughter house is near the Junction; was enroute thither when two big specimens of the felis Canadiensis, or lynx, barred the road and would not give way. Returning to town 'for firearms, the brave butcher gave chase to the animals and succeeded in shooting one— an immense fellow, that would prove a dangerous customer to We are in receipt of a copy of the Coming Landv a publication, printedat Vancouver, in the interest of the resources of the province.

As to how you can best it at the people throughout your Pro- nce, it is difficult to say without a full kowledge of your conditions and re- lirements. In Ontario, we formed no cal associations, but once the Provin- al organizatian was created, an arrange- ent was made with the Department of giiculture to have the subject placed on e programme of Farmers Institutes and pre active ones iu the road organiza- on were placed on the government delations, these largely covering the Pro- ince at the Government expense. Im- lediately it was discovered that the agi- tion was appreciated |the Good Roads ssociation urged the Government to reate the Department of Roads, of which I am now the official head. My first duty In taking office was to get into coinmun- :ation and enlist, as far as possible, the ympathy and support of Municipal ils, Boards of Trade, Dairy and all ther iltural he request of Municipal Councils at ipee commenced a tour of inspection eith them of the roads in their Munici >ality, the system under which they were vorking, and under the auspices of the Councils, addressed meetings of the rate payers. This then made the question distinctly local, and while the suggestions were drawn largely from a general [>lan, yet they appeared to be dealing with that particular Municipality, and suggestions made for the change of system and methods, appeared so pertinent and'reasonable that in a very short time a few by-laws to bring about these changes were introduced' and carried. These were then used to good advantage in urging others to follow, so that you can readily appreciate how comparatively easy'it was, in this way, to reach the people and bring about the changes. I am inclined to think, however, that w th you progress will be somewhat slower, on account of your not having so many organizations throhgh which to work ; and possibly it may be some little time before •fee snt 1 "It appears to me that your chief object should be to educate the people in how roads should be made and the economy of doing work so far as possible in a finished manner, consistent with the requirements of travel; what kind of implements should be employed to do the work easily, cheaply and well; how these should be operated ; and create a general interest in the question, and a sympathy in improvement as rapidly as possible, consistent with other consider- "In order to do this, it would be well for you to make use of all the associations in the Province, You should have no difficulty in enlisting the active support of every organized body, commercial, industrial and agricultural. Your present Department of Government in charge of roads should be used not only to assist you in carrying on this work of education but should follow up the practical end by giving exhibitions in the different parts of the Province in practical road making. Short sections of a street in towns and villages, and short ons of roads in the more populous communities should be made and due notice of this work be given in order that the people may be collected to see CONTINUED ON PAGE 6.

SIMILKAMEEN STAR. I Mining News I There were 35 men on the Snowshoe payroll last month. Rich ore has teen encountered, on the Remington, in Summit camp. . Another small spur was put in at the . roar of Old Ironsides shaft house No 2 last week. The Buckhorn in Deadvtood camp, is expected to resume operations about the first of next month. Returns from the second shipment of Buckhorn ore, from the Granby smelter gave-$i6 per ton. The drift being run on the 100-foot level of the Rambler, near Eholt, struck the ore body this week. The Boundary Falls smelter has secured a contract for 2,000 tons of ore from the Carmi, np West Fork. This week the C. P. R. boarding train came up to Phoenix, and the men are now busy putting in a sidetrack at the Snowshoe, to facilitate shipments. L. C. Crawford, who visited the R. Bell in Summit camp Thursday, says that Jack Hanley is much pleased at a rich'strike made on that property the Last Saturday was pay day at the office of the Miner-Graves syndicate, when over 250 .men received their monthly checks, amounting to something like $30,000. The Sunset and Crown Silver, in Dead- wood camp, owned by the Montreal- Boundary Creek Mining Co., is to be taken over and* worked by the Montreal- Boston Copper Co.—Pioneer. A consolidation of no small importance of several well known properties in this camp, is not improbable, says the Pioneer. The properties included are •the Gold Drop, Rawhide ^Monarch, Tatn- arac and one or two adjoining fractions. Details of the proposed new company are not yet given oui. The claims referred to adjoin the Snowshoe, which is now being successfully operated. The properties are all favorably known of among mining men familiar with this section, and all have phenomenal showings. The Gold Drop is owned by the Gold Drop Mining Co., of which Thos. C. Bxainerd (president of the Hamilton Powder Co.) is president. It- has had nearly 3,000 feet of development work done, but it is claimed that much of this was not to the best of advantage. The Rawhide is owned by the Dominion Copper Co., and has a 500.foot tunnel in country rock. Here, also, it is asserted, he work was not done where the best showing is made. The Monarch and Tamarac have only prospect shafts, but, like the other adjoining claims, have fine surface showings. I November 7,1900, by R. O.
