ASPEN GROVE DEAL.
Big Dutchman, Golden Sovereign, and Cincinnatti Sold.
• A recent arrival from Aspen Grove
brings the news that Messrs. Bate__£iQs.,
have sold three important groups of
claims in that camp to an Indiana company, the   purchase   price   being $135,-
A. W. Wright, of Terre Haute, Ind.,
put the deal through. The Big Dutchman and Golden Sovereign groups are
situated about half a mile east of the Big
Sioux. The Big Dutchman group is
composed of four claims, through which
a strongly defined lead carrying copper
glance and native copper, is traceable for
a length of 2000 feet or more.Nrhis mineralized zone has been exposed for a
width of  150 feet by means of open cuts.
The Golden Sovereign group, which
adjoins the Big Dutchman, has produced
some remarkable specimens of native
copper, nuggets weighing as much as
100 lbs. having been met with in doing
development work. This group is composed of five claims. Its ore showings
are separated from the Big Dutchman by
a dyke of limestone.
The Cincinnatti group lies two and a
half miles south of the Golden Sovereign..
A tunnel has been driven on this group
for over 300 feet in an endeavor to strike
at depth an ore body cropping higher up
the hill.
A very promising lead was run through
near the mouth of the tunnel. Surface
stripping has exposed a large ore body
on this group, from which excellent copper assays are obtained.
The highly satisfactory results of the
development work which has been done
on the Portland claim by an Indiana
company, is thought to be responsible
for the making of the present large deal.
On this claim a shaft has been sunk no
feet in ore, and crosscut for 25 feet without meeting any walls. Assays are said
to run I54.00.
Like all claims in Aspen Grove camp,
the principal values are in copper.

PRINCETON  GOAL.
Davis-Calyx    Drill   Explores
New Ground.
Mr. Ernest Waterman resident manager for the Vermilion Forks Mining and
Development Co., operating a Davis-
Calyx drill here, reports having struck
coal in their third drill hole at a depth of
301 feet. The seam is 4 ft. 9 in. thick,
and of similar quality to that being mined in their tunnel. The drill hole is
about 500 yds. up the SimiUtanifieii—Bj^
er from-where JHi fiTSthole was sunk,
and the seam pierced crops above the
24 ft. seam in which the tunnel has been
driven. It is estimated that on account
of the angle at which the sandstones dip,
it will be necessary to drill 70 or 80 feet
yet   before   striking   the   tunnel   se
Mr. Waterman says that with the seams
exposedjn the tunnel and those cut by
the drill, they now hav^accjirate_kn.owl-
edge of the existence^?£—six, gpamc umA
the positions in which they lie. These
seams which are all within 310 feet of the
surface in this portion of the basin, will
aggregate in thickness over 63 feet.
Messrs. Pouwels and JtsoffJTevier are
working in the new tunnel near the Sin.-
ilkameen bridge, which is now in 170
feetf ±"our leefof fine looking coal is
exposed in the face of the drift, and
other n feet of tunneling will strike the
old workings.
In order to encourage the more general use of the coal for domestic purposes,
Mr. Waterman agrees to give a ton of
coal at the tunnel mouthto »nyon«»fopiit-
ting in a coal stove. As a ton of coal
will easily last as long as three cords of
wood, the advantage of making the
change will be readily apparent.
TULAMEEH   DAKCE.
Mr. Geo. Aldous, proprietor of the Hotel Tulameen, celebrated Hallowe'en
night by giving a dance in the dining
room of his popular hostelry. Owing to
a heavy rain, a number of guests coming
from a distance were prevented from attending, and the crowd was therefore
smaller  than it would   otherwise  have
jj Messrs. Knight, Dunsmoor and Hitchings furnished the music, and Mr. Aldous supplied refreshments. The dance
broke up about 1 a. m. All present appeared to enjoy themselves thoroughly,
and those who were unable to attend
missed an excellent evening's entertaii
Mr. W. Murray came up the river from
Hedley last week, and left again on
urday for Nicola Lake.
MAY BE BUILT HERE.
A Smelter for Treating Ores of
Nickel Plate Mine.
M. K. Rogers of the Nickel Plate mine,"
in Hedley camp, is reported as having
said recently that unless the company of
which he is a member is able to arrange
for a portion of the Indian reserve adjoining Hedley City townsite, they may
possibly erect-the smelter for the treatment of theiA ores^ this place.
One of theif^Mief reasons for building
here instead ofrnrther down ■ the river
would bttjjrtacconftt of the cheap fuel
here, in the form of unlimited quantities
of excellent coal.
Another attractive- feature would be
the likelihood of getting custom ores to
treat, from the different camps surrounding Princeton.
There are a number of properties on
Copper and Kennedy mountains, about
12 miles up the Similkameen, from which
large quantities of ore could be extracted
by open quarrying. A tram line from
this place~coaWEring this ore to a smelter here at a very small cost.
A PROMISING PROPERTY.
Mr. J. Beaver, owner of the Diamond
B. clainfgjL^olf Creek Mountain, has
been engaged for some time sinking the
shaft on his lead to a greater depth.
The vein of white quartz which he followed from'the surface dips to the south,
and only the foot-wall shows at the bottom of the shaft. - To the north of this
first lead, which is about four feet wide,
the shaft cuts about two feet of diorite
heavily .impregnated with iron, and enters-what appears to be a second quartz
lead dipping at about the same angle as
the first and carrying like values in gold,
copper, Silver and platinum. The second lead shows a width of six feet with
only the hanging wall in sight. It is
possible that the two feet of diorite intervening between the veins is only a horse
that may work out with greater depth.
As the property now stands there is 10
feet of ore of good workable grade in
sight.
Mr. Beaver intends going down a short
distance further, and then cross-cutting
to determine the exact width of his

ALLOWED TO CROSS.
A meeting of the Railway Committee was held in Ottawa on Oct.
28th, for the purpose of considering the application of the V., V. &
E.'for the right of crossing the
Grand Forks & Kettle" Rivefrail-
way,'which runs rrotn GrandEorks
to Republic. The fight was really
Detween JjiU. who controls the V.,
V. & E. charter, and the C. P. R.,
which is interested in blocking the
progress of the American company.
Hon. A. G- Blair, chairman of the
railway committee, who recently
visited this country decided in the
face of strong opposition, that it
would', bei in. the interests of this
country to   allow the   V., V. & E.
purposes mentioned,- led to these
predictions. It was so cheap and
so abundant that a number of railway and steamship companies adopted the new fuel, and a thorough
test was made of it. Under these
circumstances it is interesting to
note that the United States navy
has rejected oil as a steam fueJW&af
again using coal.
The Southern Pacific Railway,
which penetrates the oil' fields, and
has had every opportunity to test
the relative merits of the two fuels,
has returned to coal, after having
expended a large sum on its engines converting then into oil burners, and has "recently renewed its
purchases of 25,000 tons of coal per
month.
From. a ; coqsi.d era tion of ..these,
facts we may well conclude that the*
replacement of'coal.-asa fUells yet*
in^the far future.    rfx'-'t      "'-- *;:-'

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Until afterthe appearance-of last
week's Star it seemed   impossible
to-get an accurate   account   of the
Fairview fire.    All particulars were

two of  the names   given of  killed
d injured.
Hedley City seems to be the Mecca of the Similkameen these days.
The construction of the stamp mill,
flume and tramway by the Nickei
Plate Company, is responsible for
the interest at present being taken

John Mitchell might pass for a
priest or a clergyman. He wears a
wagon-wheel collar, a black necktie, a long Prince Albert coat of a
bygone vintage, black trousers, and
a black slouch hat irregularly dent-
i/3JF^' ed   at the   top.    His  large, round
face has an intense expression. His
eyes and hair are jet black, his features regular and expressive. He
is below the average height, but his
diminutive stature is forgotten
when he speaks. His words are
incisive, his articulation perfect and
pleasant, even musical. His vocabulary equals that of any polished, professional man. He avoids
all positive statements, and, when
addressed, listens with the closest
attention. Though during the past
30 days he has been the most prominent figure in the United States,
little is known of his history. He
is 34 years old and was born | in
Braidwood, Illinois, a little mining
town. His father was a miner in
the bituminous coal fields of Illin-
i ois. He went to the public schools
until his fifteenth year, when he began working in the mines as a miners' helper. He was married shortly after he attained his majority,
and settled down at Spring Valley,
Illinois, where his wife and four
surviving children still reside.   One
of his children, died. He was always a &ufif$h'. :tainer, as was his
father. He^S^an to be prominent
in the United Mine Workers of America in 1897, when he was elected
national o'rgahizer. In the following year 'h'e'was elected national
vice-presicteHt. In October, 1898,
when the r$Sfei$lent of the United

In. 1899 he was elected rational
president, and each year SJmpa that
date he has be?n honored by reelection. Mitchell's forefathers
were   Scotch     Presbyterians ;

Health is Capital
Health is capital as truly as money is, and the man who so regards
it will be as careful in its expenditure, as cautious in its investment,
as prudent in husbanding its resources, as the financier is in the management of the principal from whic h
he derives his income. Many persons have no other capital than
health. The strength they use in
their daily business may secure a
comfortable living so long as it remains unimpaired, but once let the
health   springs   be   exhausted  by
carelessness, improvidence or too
lavish expenditure, there is fitr$b'ne|
way to replenish them—right living and rest. Wealth accumulates,
by saving, and just in the same!
way health comes from saving-
strength, not wasting it upon trifles, not exhausting it in too severe
or too prolonged efforts ; by recu-
peraffing^STre'st and sleep, by taking such exercise and food as shall
invigorate instead of depleting the
physical powers. It is never wise
to work to the extreme limit of
one's ability. When weary, rest ;
when exhausted, sleep. The whole
man will be recreated by it. It is
by spending less than his income,
by turning his honest pennies over
and over, reinvesting as they accumulate, that a person builds up his
fortune.—:New York Ledger.
Familiar With the Work.
An Irishman out of work applied
to the " boss "of a large repair
shop for a "job." After quizzing
him for some time, says the Pittsburg Bulletin, the superintendent
put him this question :
" Do you know anything about
carpentry ?"
" Sure, I'd like to see the man
can bate me at it."
" Do you know how to make a
Venetian blind ? "
" I do that ! "
" Tell me, then, how you'd make
a Venetian blind ? "
"Sure, I'd poke my finger in.his
eye ! ".

Granby Smelter to Blow It in Soon.
The good news comes that the
management of the Granby smelter
is making preparations to put a
third furnace in blast in a day or
two. This will make the daily
output of the smelter over 1,000
tons—something that has not occurred since May last, before the

What  It Taught
A gentleman visiting a minister
was asked* to attend a Sunday
school at his host's church, and address a few remarks to the children, relates the Scottish.American.
He took the familiar theme of the
children who mocked Elijah on bis
journey to Bethel—how the youngsters taunted the poor old prophet,
and how they were punished when
two she bears came out of the
woods and ate forty and two of
them.
"And now, children," said the
speaker, wishing to learn if his
talk had produced any moral effect,
" what does this story show ? "
" Please, sir," came from a little
girl well down in front, " it shows
how many children two she bears
can hold."
