Johnson have been doing assessment on some Coppe moun- Chas. Bonnevier has gone to Boulder Camp to work for the Boulder Mining Co. in the tunnel being run on the Cou- W. S. Wilson has been working recently on a fine showing of arsenical iron ore on his claim, the Rocky PoiutFractibn,- in Hedley camp. Assays are being made to determine its value. D. M. Bongard and Neil McFadgen came in Thursday from doing assessment work on some Aspen Grove claims. They have recently completed assessments on the Sampson and Dewey claims on Kennedy mountain, which adjoin the Home- stake and Copper King claims. On the Dewey the work consisted of a 14-foot cut which exposed some good ore. Bert. Thomas returned Wednesday from doing work on the Rival claim on Holmes mountain belonging to Robert Stevenson. He reports striking some fine looking ore which will run well in copper. Obituary. It is our sad duty this week to have to record the death of Mrs. Jeston Beaver on Wednesday the 17th inst. at her home on Wolf Creek mountain. The deceased lady had been ailing for some little time and early in the week her condition became so serious that the services of Dr. Whillans were required. He pronounced her case to be catarrh of the stomach an&' administered the usual remedies, but hfs efforts were unavailing and Mrs. Beaver passed into a comatose condition Wednesday morning from which she never regained consciousness. She passed quietly away about 9 p. m. and was buried on Friday following, a large number of friends and acquaintances attending the funeral. The Rev. Mr. Stewart conducted the funeral services and Mesdames Murdoch, Spencer, Bell, Silverson and Miss Whillans contributed beautiful floral offerings as a token of respect to the dead. The body was interred on a green knoll near the house. During the last few days of her illness the deceased was kindly cared for by Mrs. Silverson who went out from Princeton to attend her. Mrs. Beaver came to this.district from Spokane with her husband, about two years ago and has resided here ever since. She was a woman of many estimable qualities and enjoyed the friendship and respect of those with whom she came in contact. Her sorrowing husband has the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community in his great bereavement. Annie L. Claude Snowden reports that a partner of Pat Kennedy's, named Smith, has uncovered a promising body of ore on the Annie L. claim on Copper mountain in doing assessment work. He has run an open cut for forty feet in a bluish quartz carrying considerable iron and yellow copper. From appearances the ore would run from 2x/z to 3 per cent in copper. The quartz is very similar in appearance to that found on the Lone Pine claim lower down the hill belonging to Snowden Bros., from which gold assays running from a trace to $96 are ob- CONTINUE DRILLIMG Vermilion Forks Co. Preparing to Further Explore Coal Lands. Mr. Ernest Waterman, manager for the Vermilion Forks Mining and Development Co., announces that drilling operations will begin Monday on the town- site and the hole started last fall will be continued down until the big seam cut opposite the pit is reached. After this has been done a second hole will be sunk near the Tulameen river on the opposite side of the town. The company also hold several leases about five miles up the Similkameen, which they intend drilling on later in the ; Mr. Arthur Hickling, managing director of the company is expected to arrive from England about the end of the present month. The Lost Mine. Robert Stevenson, the most widely known prospector of this district, returned on Tuesday last from the coast, where he has been spending the winter, His youngest son accompanied him. Mr. Stevenson states that he has inter ested a number of New York men in his famous "Dost Mine," which he re-located last summer, up the Tuiamtun, and thaT he expects tnem in shortly to examine the property. Should it prove up to their expectations, development work will be started at an early date and ultimately a stamp mill built for the treatment of the ore. Assays were made on a number of samples during the winter and showed very* satisfactory values. Ed. Tingley of Granite Creek was i: town Friday. GOLD AND SILVER In Specular Hematite Found in Granite Belt on Five Mile Creek. Camp Macintosh, in honor of its discoverer, can best be reached by going up the Five-Mile trail to Al. Johnston's ranch, from which point the trail to the Buck can be discerned going up the bare hill side east of the Five-Mile creek. What appears to be one of the most promising mineral discoveries made for some time in ' this section is a lead of white quartz carrying large quantities of specular hematite assaying high in gold and silver which has been found by John Macintosh in the big granite belt lying between Five-Mile and Twenty-Mile creeks. The discovery was made last fall by following pieces of float up an adjacent stream. Only one shot was put into the surface croppings of the lead at the time and specimens were taken out for assay. From these specimens Mr. Macintosh reports having got an assay showing $103 in all values. The ore contained \yi per cent, copper ; $43 in silver and about $56 in gold. He returned this season and has already built a trail up from the Five-Mile and put up a cabin and a blacksmith shop. He has also started to sink a shaft on the lead which he intends continuing to a depth of 50 feet. The lead is of white quartz, betweeen four and five feet wide where the work is being done, and is traceable the whole length of the claim, which is called the "Buck," and into two other claims, the Iron Horse, owned by Hugh Finnegan, and the Ida B. owned by Al. Johnston. Only four claims have been located in the camp as yet and only one other lead, a small one lying parallel with the main vein and about 450 feet distant, has been discovered. A hopeful feature of the lead is the fact that it runs diametrically opposite to the formation,' the granite lying east and west while the ore runs north and south. The silver occurs in the form of a chloride and looks like a yellowish stain on the ore. The gold does not appear to be free, but associated with the hematite, of which the vein contains a great deal. The copper is found as azurite and malachite in bright green and blue crystals adhering to the quartz. The vein dips into the hill at an angle of °45 or °5o. Samples of the ore are being brought down to Princeton and will be sent to the St. Louis Exposition, the Spokane fair and the Mineral Museum at Victoria. The find is important as indicating the existence of rich leads in the belt of granite and pegmatite lying between the Five-Mile and Twenty-Mile creeks, and will doubtless stimulate prospecting in a section that has heretofore been much neglected. It is a difficult country to prospect on account of down timber and small pines. The new camp, which has been named Morning Star. S. Mangott, who some time ago bonded the Morning Star in Fairview camp to af copmpany of New York capitalists, represented by Dr. Wells of Columbia University, came up from Fairview on Fri- Mr. Mangott states that about twenty- men are working on the Morning Star and that a shaft has been sunk 300 feet on the lead, which is from 8 to 15 feei wide. Drifts are now being run both ways from the shaft at the 125 and 250 foot levels and some nice ore is being taken out showing free gold. The ore' will average between #5 and J>8 per ton. Some years ago 2,700 tons of ore were- mined from this property by Mr. Mangott and associates and treated by one of the stamp mills in the camp. It averaged $12.50 per ton.

Editor Mining Record—Sir : I note in the June issue of the Mining Record a criticism of two resolutions recently passed by the Princeton branch of the Provincial Mining Association, on which the executive committee was asked to act. The first one, asking for the appointment of five mine inspectors, and having for its object the better protection of the lives of mine workers, you appear to condemn because it comes from a section where as yet there are few developed mines employing large numbers of men, and you intimate that a move in the direction of improving our system of mine inspection should properly come from districts having large working mines. In answer to this let me point out to you that the Mining Association is very young and there has been little opportunity as yet for an expression of opinion on many questions concerning the working of our mines. The sponsor of the resolution in question is a practical miner of many years experience, •who has worked in many of the most important miniug camps ofl the west, and is well qualified to speak for mine workers on a matter of this kind. His object in bringing the resolution before the Association was to induce the discussion of the question by the miners of the province, whose views on a vital matter of this kind should receive every consideration at the hands of | the Association. Regarding the second resolution, for which I am responsible, I may say that it was prepared, before the sub-committee of the executive of | which Mr. A. E. Howse was a member, had waited on the mineralogist, or at least before word had been received here of the interview you mention. While I agree with you that a man in the position of the mineralogist must not be a "boomer " in any sense, it does not necessarily follow that he must judge an unde veloped prospect as he would a mine and such statements as he makes in the report complained of regarding " serious quantities of ore " in small open cuts, &c, are the veriest twaddle. Who expects to see " serious quantities of ore" on a claim covered largely with wash and having perhaps two or three assessments done on it ? Although you admit that the mineralogist's reports have in the past been too pessimistic, the admission does not repair the harm done us by the report of 1901, and it seems to the people of this district that the province might spend its money to better advantage than in paying a man to go into new mining camps and disparage them. As to claim owners proving their properties, you must know that the prospector's resources are limited, and about all he can do is a little shallow surface work. But working even as they have against heavy odds, I maintain that the prospectors of this section have in many cases proved the existence of valuable ore bodies, and it is a notable fact that of the mining men who have visited the district very few but left with a good impression of it. Our great difficulty in getting the capital necessary for its development has arisen from our distance from transportation and you will readily see that the publication of such reports as that of Mr. Robertson's would not hasten the building of a railway through this country. Where development on an extensive scale has taken place the Similkameen will compare favorably with other parts of the province, the work done for instance on the Nickel Plate mine in Hedley camp having proved the existence of a very large and valuable ore body— —a conclusion one would hardly reach by reading the mineralogist's report on the property. The fact is he did not thoroughly examine this mine and left with a very inadequate idea of its immense value. The large expenditures now being made by its owners should be sufficient proof of its worth. Yours very truly, G. E. Winkler. It is now generally believed that the elections will not be pulled off until late in October. This will insure a warm time during the chilly autumn days, says the Columbia Sun. NOTICE.

The typical Irish carman is a person ofl much sagacity. One night the Rev. Jno. Williams, a newly returned missionary, took a car, in a dubious frame of mind. He had been invited to dine with some friends at the house of an acquaintance whose name he had forgotten. He only knew that his host lived on Harcourt street. " What am I to do ?" he asked of his driver. "Never mind, sor," was the reply. " I'll find him for you." "But you can't. Vou don't know his " Lave it to me sor. Lave it to me en- toirely." They drove to Harcourt street and the man beginning at the top, knocked at every door and made one inquiry. Half j way down the street he gaily rejoined his employer, and said, "It's all right sor. It's here." " How do you know?" " I asked, sor, ' Does the riverend Mis- ther Williams live here ? And the ma d said, 'No, but he is dining here?'

DIED A GROCER The Philosophy of Life as Viewed from a Practical Standpoint. A correspondent, says the Toronto Globe, who describes himself as "one of the unfortunates that make a living by selling groceries," inquires as to the meaning of the sentence in a recent editorial: ''Over too many-men the epitaph, mutatis mutandis, might be inscribed, ing is made plain by the related sentence: "They devote themselves to their trade, or business, or profession so selfishly or so sordidly that many of their faculties suffer atrophy." That is to say, a man's life robs life of its dignity and misses its mark who wastes and loses life itself in the over-absorbing effort at making a lvmg.

But in everyday life too many teachers and physicians and lawyers and preachers have little interest in the throb and passion of life outside their own little professional sphere. The books they read are not to feed their own life, but to supply the needs of their profession. Their interest in literature dies, and they stand aloof from the social and intellectual life of men.

THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR MINING PAYS Oreat Wealth Amassed by the Proper Investment in Mines. Consider for a moment the possibilities of the mining field as an investment. The richest men in the world are mining kings, many of whom have reached their high mark through the proper application of what was originally very modest capital, and it is a fact that while millions of dollars have been lost in the railroads, industrial enterprises, and building associations, the mining industry steadily advances and returns enormous profits to • those who go into it properly. It is not necessary that you should possess a prospect or a mine of your own in order to share in the benefits of this most natural process of acquiring wealth. Today there are good companies by the score offering their stock for public subscription. The difficulty is not so much in finding the right kind of a property, as to associate yourself with promoters sincerely intending to operate their mine on a practical basis and who have the knowledge and ability which will enable them to carry out their plans along economical lines. There is no branch of mining that may rightfully be termed a back number. Just at present the idea seems to be popular with a large portion of the public that only gold mines pay. The average investor will not listen to a copper proposition because he thinks that the red metal is a drug on the market. He has jumped to this conclusion principally because of the sensational decline in Wall street of the shares of these companies, not stopping to analyze the real cause of that decline. In a commercial sense, copper is the coming metal, and in a few years from now the present insignificant little flufry will be entirely forgotten, and copper investments will be in great demand. Take the average man with from JS200 to $500 to invest, and he wants to know right away what rate of dividends the company is paying. If it is a mining or an oil company, paying say one per cent monthly, it is not good enough. Of course if the stock of such enterprise is for sale at from three to five cents on the dollar, then, perhaps he will buy a few shares. But if you are a promoter and want to sell stock for a" price anywhere near its par value you will have to show dividends approximating 100 per cent annually—or keep your stock. Now, if I had $500 to put into something in the money-making line, I would not look for a dividend paying stock— and I will tell you why. A stock that is already paying on two per cent monthly is doing about all that can be expected of it. Such a stock would represent exactly what I was looking for if I had two or three hundred thousand dollars to invest, because then. I would want employment for my funds that would return sufficient interest to provide me with a good income. But, my dear friend, you cannot expect to live in luxury on the income from a capital of of $500. If you do entertain such an idea get rid of it at once, and come back to earth. Five hundred dollars is no good at all when it comes to providing an income that will support a family of ten—or even one. What you must do with your #500 is something like this: Hunt up, first, a good enterprise. Don't bother your head so much as to the particular nature ot the business, but ascertain if the men behind it are the right kind. If you find that they are people of good reputation, with experience in the line of work that is about to be undertaken, then jump in with your $500 and buy a lot of stock at cheap figures and before dividends are even thought of. Then, in a little while, you will find that your stock is worth a great deal more than $500. If you have used'good common sense in your selection of a company your stock should be worth par when dividends become a regular feature and as you probably bought your stock for about ten cents on the dollar, "when it wasn't worth anything," your original capital of #500 has now grown to #5,000. But there is no sense in talking about '"investing" $500, or any othet moderate sum if you really want to make money. Life is too short to get results in this way. If it is interest you ate after, put your money in a savings bank. If you want your little pile to grow, put it into a good speculation.—Western Mining World, If you want First Class Footwear Insist upon ------- J. D.
