OIL CONCENTRATION,
Results of Experiments on Ada
B. Ore.
Mr. C. Willarson, one of the owners of
the Ada B. claim on Copper Mountain,
has been having some tests made on the
ore from this property by H. Hyman
Claudet, of the Canadian Ore Concentration, Ltd., who is now located at Rossland for the purpose of testing the suitability of the Elmore process in treating
. the lower grade ores of Red Mountain.
Three tests were made from samples of
Ada B. ore assaying 3.98 per cent, copper, and carrying small gold and silver
values.
The first two samples were crushed tc
a 30 mesh and the extractions in all values were poor, the percentage of copper
saved in the first test being 53 per cent.,
and in the second test 60.7 per cent.
The third test was made on ore crushed to a 40 mesh, with improved results,
the recovery of copper values amounting
to 69 per cent.
The tailings were assayed for copper
carbonates and found to contain 0.95 per
cent. The loss in copper sulphides was
0.63 per cent.
Mr. Claudet states that ore from a
greater depth, where oxidization has
ceased, would give much better results,
the oil being unable to save the carbonates in the surface ore.
With the loss from carbonates eliminated, within 0.63 per cent, of the total
copper values would be saved, which
would be equivalent to an 86 per cent,
extraction.
- While Mr. Claudet says that the loss
during the test is too high, owing to his
plant not yet being in thorough working
order, and the oxidized condition of the
ore, he is satisfied that with ore from a
depth he will be able to show a high extraction, giving in practice a ratio of 1
ton of concentrates to 5 or 6 tons of ore.

HEADWAY AT HEDLEY
Work Progressing on Various
Projects of Nickel Plate Co.
Satisfactory progress is being made on
.the various enterprises of the Nickel
Plate Co. in Hedley camp, according to
,Mr. J. A. Munson, the well known contractor, who was a visitor to Princeton
yearly in the week.
\ Excavating for the foundation of the
"4o-stamp mill has been finished, and rap-
[id headway is being made on the inason-
Iry, which will be completed in a few
[week's time.
The timbers for the mill are now on
the ground.
Work on the tramway is going on
steadily, but it will require about three
month's time to complete it.
Mr. Munson states thatrhe has everything in preparation for the commencement of work on the flume which is to
convey water from Twenty Mile Creek to
the stamp mill.
Electric power will be used in operating the stamp mill, and the tram will be
partly run by electricity and partly by
gravity.
Freighters are now busy between Penticton and Hedley, bringing in machinery for the mill.
L. C. Barnes of Penticton, has the contract, which calls for between 600 and
^700 tons of freight.
V., V. & E. SURVEYORS, \
The Midway Dispatch says: "On
Wednesday the two survey parties, who
are locating the line for the V., V. & E.,
one of which was working from Curlew
towards Midway and the other from Roberts' ranch towards the same point, met
with their lines a-short distance south of |
the town, thus completing the location
of the line from Curlew to Midway and
on to a point about 12 miles west of here.
Yesterday the camp, that for some time
has been at Roberts' ranch was moved
farther west in the vicinity of Molson.

ON A STILL  HUNT
For a Nicola Candidate to Represent Government.
Reports regarding the actions of the
Premier and Prov. Sec. Mclnnes while at|
Nicola Lake, indicate that the govern-(|
ment is in hard straits for a candidate to]
oppose Semlin in this riding, and is tryf
ing to induce a Nicola man to come out!
The nomination is said to have been ofl
fered to H. D. G. Armytage of Coutlee.l
John Clapperton of Nicola Lake has also
been mentioned as a probable candidate.!
The Premier denied that there was any;
intention to have ex-Governor Dewdney
of the government.   *
„THE RAILWAY POLICY.
When Premier Prior, in the course of
that Vancouver interview, outlined the
government's policy, he either "jollied "
the Vancouver people with respect to the
railway question, or has some very peculiar ideas of the fitness of things, says the
Inland Sentinel. He stated that while
he would favor a land subsidy to the]
Great Northern, he would oppose givingil
any aid to a railway that would have its
terminus at Port Simpson, because that
would mean the building up of a rival
town to Vancouver and Victoria. Why
the government should object to seeing
other towns and cities spring up is incomprehensible. The duty of a government is not to any special part, but to the
whole ; and to threaten to throw obstacles in the way of the development of
one section because it may clash with
the interests of some other part, is worse
than childish. The men who seriously
hold such views and mean to carry them
into operation, are certainly not likely to
do any good to the Province. If Premier Prior means to favor the Canada Northern and to oppose the Grand Trunk
Pacific and the trans-Canadian lines, he
will find that he is at variance with the
people of the Province. Above all things
the government must be fair ; there must
be no unjust discrimination. The best
thing the government can do is to give
|i^®fi'dea of bonusing any of these lines.
By his own admission Col Prior anticipates their early construction, and, as
the only excuse for giving a subsidy is to
induce immediate building of a railway,
the necessity for  giving a   subsidy does

WHAT HILL SAID.
, Under the heading, " Great
Northern in Hostile Role
Will Never Build Coast-Kootenay,"' the Vancouver Province of |
January 9th, prints a dispatch purporting to come from Ottawa, in
which it declared that Hill stated
definitely in.Spokane he would not
build from Midway to Vancouver
on any renewed charter of the V.,
V. & E. or otherwise, and that the
railway which he proposed to run
into the Similkameen from ' the
"south would simply be a branch to
carry more of the Canadian trade
back to Spokane:
It is amusing to note the tactics
resorted to by the C. P. R. to arouse opposition to Hill's road in
the coast cities and at the Dominion capital.
If the facts were known the
above quoted dispatch in all proba-
oility never saw Ottawa, but was
concocted in the editorial rooms of |
the Province office.
Whether emanating from Vancouver or going through the formality of being wired from Ottawa,
this precious "dispatch" is plainly
the work of a servant of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co , valid'as
such is entitled to" scant credence
by the public at large. Hijl^hgs;
good reasons -forwishing to....keep
his route from- Princeton .west-io
himself for a time, but he is" ?toor
shrewd a railway man not to" realize that only a through line would
satisfy the wants of this section.
He   also   knows it would   be   the
INCREASED INTEREST.
Evidences of a great increase of
interest in the Similkameen have
marked the past month since President Hill made the policy of the
Great Northern known regarding
this district.
There have been significant inquiries for real estate and mining
properties that show clearly many
outsiders are cognizant of the resources of this section and the future lying before it when once railway communication is given it,
A feature of the new interest felt
has also been shown in an unusua'
demand for sample copies of the
Star.
These " signs of the times "' show
plainly that the public generally
are convinced that the time for C.
P. R., Mackenzie & Mann, and
McLean Bros., "just going to
build" stories are past, and that in
spite of a rotten government and
scheming corporations that have
conspired in the past to hold this
great district back, we are at last'
going to emerge from the limbo to
which we were consigned, and will
take our rightful place in the ranks
of the best mineral producing sections of B. C.
The fact that relief is coming
from an American railway comp-
, is good proof of the fact that
the Americans know a good thing
hen they see it, which is more
than can be said of the C. P. R., if|
its policy in this portion of B. C
can be taken as an evidence of the
business acumen of its directors.
' ELMORE PROCESS.
The results of experiments with
the new Elmore process of oil concentration on the ore of the Ada B.
claim on Copper Mountain, which
publish on another page, is extremely interesting, being the first
test made by this much talked ofl
process on the ore of a Similkameen property. It is of great importance to this district that this
nethod should prove successful as
t will increase the profits in railing the immense copper deposits ofl
his section.

am The Bonus Hunters.
Everything points to a lively
fighting time at the next session of
parliament over subsidies, and the
various applicants are evidently at
work perfecting their plans of at-
tack and defence and arranging
their allies. This all reads strange
in the light of the experience of the
country to the south of us in the
matter of giving away the puDlic
lands to build railways. The United States is our next door neighbor,
and the people of Canada are weli
informed as to the condition of
things working there, nearly as
much so as though it was theii
home government. We all knov
that the land bonus business has
been the curse of the country, and
to propose such a thing now would
create such a storm as to down any
party or individual proposing
Why should Canada commit the
same folly ? One transcontinental
line and several of its feeders were
built in Canada on the bonus prir
ciple, which would seem to be emit
sufficient. We are just beginnin
to realize the magnificent heritage
. we gave away.
Public sentiment is against this
whole business, and if representative government counts for anything the machinations of schemers
to get something for nothing'will
certainly fail of its purpose. We
are loth to believe that those high
in authority are tainted With corruption or with anything but a desire to subserve the public, still the
persistence with which certain magnates press their demands for public  gifts in the way of subsidies in
the face of a public remonstrance
would seem to lead to the belief
that they bold too close communion
with the powers that be. Time will
tell.—Rossland Miner.
What He Came For.
S. D. Faust, of Cleveland, while
on a visit to Philadelphia, a few
days ago, in company with a Phil-
adelphian, decided to go to At antic City. Before buying tickets the
Philadelphian proceeded to show
his guest the improvements along
Delaware avenue.
Sitting on the edge of- tl:e wharf
was a typical street arab, fishing.
Just as they were about to leive
they were startled by a splash, .and
discovered that the boy had tumbled overboard. After some trcu'le
he was drawn out.
" How did you cone to fall in?",
inquired Faust.
"Ah, gwan,." said the boy. "I
didn't come to fall in. I ccme to
