PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1903. $2 a Year. MINING ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE MEET Pass Resolutions Urging Reform in the Department of Mines, Also Point to Unequal Taxes. The Executive Committee of the Pro vincial Mining Association in session a Kamloops last week passed the folio winj on motion of A. E. Howse, seconded by J. B. Hobson: "Whereas, there has long been an i creasing dissatisfaction with the relati< of the Provincial Bureau of Mines to the mining industry, the complaints most prevalent being to the effect that the conditions and resources of various districts have not been fairly or properly presented, and that all efforts made hitherto by mining men towards the betterment of mining conditions have met with opposition instead of assistance from this office, and that moreover, complained that the work of the bureau has apparently been restricted to the collection of statistics, while the industry has not received that assistance in the way of expert scientific study and reports on mineral districts which was expected from the office and which was the main object of its creation, as set out in Section 7 of the Bureau of Mines Act, 1897; And, whereas, it appears to this association that the cooperation which should exist between the bureau and the 1 ing community is now entirely wanting, and that the main object of its creation has been thus defeated. Be it therefore resolved that in opinion of this Association a radical change should be effected in the constitution and conduct of the said bureau." The following was proposed by J. B. Hobson seconded by L. Hill. " In view of the embarrassed state of | the finances of the province aud the ob' jection which has been raised upon this ground towards measures for the relief I of the mining industry, and the fact that f all demands for such relief during the past two years have been met by a counter demand on the part of the government then in power for a substitute •whereby the revenues of the province would not suffer loss : Be it resolved that this association desires to reassert that it has no wish to be relieved at the expense of other industries, but on the contrary is now and has always been ready to pay its fair and equitable share of the taxation necessary for the economical and businesslike conduct of provincial affairs. In the opin-. ion of this association, the natural re- ation. The enormous areas of valuabli land now held under a taxation which is practically insignificant should be made to pay their proper share of the burden and thus relieve industries. The association, therefore, respectfully recommends to the government the ad visability of enquiring into the adoptior of the Australasian or other equitable and uniform system of taxation on land, including mining lands, that will tend to increase the revenue, foster the settlement of the lands of the province and encourge the development of its gi mineral and other In vi ew of the vast areas of land held in this 1 province, it i s believed that the es from sue :h a system of taxation will m. ore than 1 the annual deficit of the province and will enable it to materially rel iev« :thei mining industry." Hedley's Basket Social. On the evening of Nov. 26 the ladies of Hedley gave a basket social in parlors of the Commercial hotel. It the most enjoyable affair of the kind that was ever held in that hustling camp The opening address was made by D. J McNally, who also officiated as auction' eer. The bidding was very spirited, on< basket selling as high as $8. The proceeds, amounting to $87.75, will be applied to the formation of a library. The program, rendered to the evident delight of the audience, consisted of music by the Hedley orchestra, song by Capt. C. E. Oliver; violin solo by E. McL< recitation by Miss Hamilton; medley by orchestra; violin solo by E. J. Dunsmoor; duet by Madames Joiner and Worth; the Hedley orchestra; song by C. S. Shilling; after which coffee was served by Mrs. McLean, who received a cordial vote of | thanks for her hospitality. Dancing, to the music of the old masters, was thoroughly enjoyed.—Com. Princeton His Choice. Jas. Clark, watchmaker and jeweller, arrived in Princeton last Saturday to engage in business here and at Hedley, in all probability choosing the latter as his headquarters. Mr. Clark has also followed mining in the States and Mexico, in Cariboo and Omineca and has been in Lillooet for the past four years engaged at his trade. He had long ago made up his mind to come to the Similkameen but the fact that there was no railway to Princeton rather deterred him. He is so pleased with the location of Princeton L its bright future that he will perma- itly reside here later on. The ranch formerly owned by Walter Holmes, near 5-mile creek, has been sold to C. F. Law, Vancouver. Mr. Holmes will reside in Princeton. Percy Rowlands has purchased the! Fred. Oelrich ranch on i-mile and will go into ranching extensively. TELEPHONE SERVICE TO OUTSIDE WORLD Board of Trade Appeals to the Dominion for a Line to Link Similkameen to Trade Centers. The meeting of the Board of Trade Wednesday evening was attended by the following members: Robert Sti Barr Hall, Geo Aldous, W. E. Welby, C.E. Thomas, A. Bell, E. Waterman, J. M. Wright. The President, C. E. Thomas, gave a resume of the business to be brought before the Board and invited C. E. Oliver, of Hedley, to report progress made with the petition railway. Mr. Oliver stated that he had interviewed Mr. Bullock-Webster a the circulation of the petitions and a favorable reply from him. From 1 versation with many whom he had the petitions would be signed by nearly everyone in the valley. He was pleased to be present at this meeting of the Princeton Board of Trade as it gave impetus to the hope he entertained of seeing a similar institution at Hedley, He thought that if all the towns in the Similkameen had boards of trade the requirements of the valley would have better consideration from both the federal and provincial governments. The President intimated that the notice of motion re Copper mountain road in troduced at last meeting of the Board by J. M. Wright should be dealt with and he hoped the necessity of the road would warrant immediate steps being taken by the Board and the government for the early construction of the road. E. Waterman stated that the company he represented had placed $1500 at the disposal of the government for the construction of the Copper mountain road and that the government had appropriated $2000 for like purpose two sessions ago. He understood from Mr. Killeen, government road surveyor, that the road would cost, approximately, $8000. B. Hall said he would be glad tc the contract at that figure. J. M. Wright stated that as the Copper mountain road was a very important matter to the people of this vicinity he would suggest that a memorandum be sent the government asking them to pend the money appropriated and at their disposal for the building of the road. The suggestion being agreed to the secretary was accordingly instructed. A long discussion, in which all took keen interest, resulted from a motion to make application to the Dominion government for a telephone line to connect the Similkameen valley with the outside world. The consensus of opin- in favor of the continuation of the line from Nicola lake through the Similkameen district to a point to be designated by the government. R. Stevenson remarked that as message rates increased largely when transmission was made from B.C., via foreign lines, to other places in B.C., he thought a southern terminal should be at either Midway or Camp McKinney. The secretary was advised to communicate with the Dominion member, Mr. Galliher, asking for immediate construction of a telephone line. The necessity for having a resident superintendent of roads for the Similka- meeen riding was pointed out by the President. His sentiments being endorsed unanimously, the secretary was instructed to acquaint Mr. Shatford, M.L.A., of the opinion of the Board on the matter and at the same time respectfully remind him of the disgraceful condition of the A motion to adjourn for one week and a vote of thanks to Geo. Aldous for the use of premises brought the meeting to Local News Notes. J. G, Schisler has removed his family to town for the winter. Mr. Schisler has gone to the lumber woods for the firm of Stewart, Macdonald & Schisler who have acquired the Tillman mill. 'Scotty' McLeod and P.Johnson, who have been trapping at the head of Stirling creek, arrived in town last Friday for supplies. They have been fairly successful, having caught 17 martin and 2. fishers. They have not struck beaver ground yet but expect to beyond the divide. They only sighted one sheep, a* big buck, beyond range. Snow is about two feet deep there It is noticed by many that the usual run of fall fish has diminished greatly in the rivers. Some attribute it to the muddy water caused by rains and others think that refuse thrown in the Similkameen accounts for the absence of our finny friends. A letter received from a subscriber in the southeastern portion of the Similkameen states that it takes ten days for the Star to reach him. Another good reason added to the already long list for a railway. The distance is about 80 miles- T. F. Brenton, representing the music firm of Dyke, Evans & Callaghan, Vancouver, was in town this week tuning and soliciting orders. Mr. Brenton is a finished musician, being eqnally at home on several instruments besides possessing a fine baritone voice. He was successful in placing orders for two pianos. As soon as the railroad reaches Princeton- there will be a great demand for pianos. AI. Johnson and family move to Kere- eos today where he has been engaged run the sawmill owned by Mr. Bullock- Webster. The registered number of pupils-, at the Princeton public school is twenty.

THE MINING ASSOCIATION, No other industry in this province affords the scope for wise and careful legislation which mining gives. No other industry can respond with as great alacrity as a revenue producer to the fostering care of a government; neither is there an industry so sensitive of neglect or so readily crippled by injudicious legislation as that of mining. Thus it is that the Mining Association of British Columbia is, or ought to be, the most useful adjunct of the Department of Mines for reference and consultation that could be found. Still in its infancy, its most timely and welcome influence has been profitable to the province as a whole, and in particular to those localities in which minerals are the chief product. Its tonic effect upon capital and the good repute it lends to the industry as well as performing a corrective and regulative work illustrates the necessity for an organization of this kind which challenges denial. Patiently and per- severingly sowing good seed it must and wilt accomplish all that is expected 'of it in benefits accruing through it to the mining industry. The Executive Committee of the Association is composed of men who have sacrificed time and money in the interests of the mining business and it would be little less than ingratitude on the part of the government and of miners if their appeals for increased membership and remedial legislation were unheeded. Moreover, there is a sense in which their recommendations must have attention as they are men who are interested by occupation and investment in mining, therefore, their deliberations and suggestions have a value and a concern for every man who makes of mining a livelihood or business. The Executive passed two resolutions, printed elsewhere in this paper, at the recent Kamloops session which have an important bearing on mining. While agreeing with every word of the first resolution there seems to be one condition imperative upon which a thoroughly efficient Department of Mines can be maintained and that is by having a Minister of Mines who, at least, has passed the rudimentary stages of mining experience, or, better still, one who has a practical acquaintance with mining—not a mere scientific miner, but one who is familiar with prospecting, development and operation of mines. With such a r at the head of this department his first work in hand would be the establishment of a Mining School in a mining locality, Princeton, for example, where technical and practical demonstrations could blend in due proportion. Space forbids further comment—the reasons are obvious and many for a properly qualified Minister of Mines, and the men are not lacking. The second resolution is in harmony with the tenor of expressed public and private opinion. There is nothing so grievous as the inequalities of taxation in this province. The large landholders in the grazing belts contribute less in proportion on ratable property than any other class of industry in the country. Their great herds of cattle roam at will on a thousand hills eating the sweetest of grasses and enriching their owners. These "cattle kings," as they are styled, gobble the land from the settler and stand the government off from taxation with the plea that the land is no good, whereas the poor man with his small holding is taxed on every dollar of improvement that he makes. Is this fair to the settler to the collapsed provincial purse, have the "cattle kings" vested privileges denied to others ? JAS.

THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR December 5, 1903 -JIH HILL AND THE V.V. & E. Honey to Build It Has Been Secured by Great Northern. Announcement has been made in a ■despatch from New York that Kidder, Peabody & Co., of Boston; Baring Bros. & Co., of London, and Baring, Magoun & Co., of New York, are offering $7,290.- 000 of a Great Northern Railway Co. two-year 5 per cent loan, secured by .£2,000,000, or $9,720,000 St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Pacific extension, sterling 4s., due July 1, 1940, deposited with the Bankers' Safe Deposit & Trust Co. of New York. It was announced that the notes had already been disposed of and it was said that they were issued for the purpose of getting money "needed for improTements." No statement was obtainable at the office of J. J. Hill, and Baring, Magoun & Co. referred inquiries to Boston houses for information. An official circular sets forth that it was deemed expedient to go into the money market and pay over 5 per cent, for a two years' loan, believing that before maturity of the loan arrangements can be made to market the bonds at better prices than the present market offers. The Spokane Spokesman-Review, commenting on the report, says: It is believed this money is to be used to push the extension of the V.V. & E. road to the coast. President Hill stated when here last that that line would be built, and in the east he said on several occasions that that extension is about the only Northern. Alaska Epigrams. The following terse paragraphs were sent to the Star by a contributor. The Alaska award has passed into history and the only remedy remaining tor Canadians is to seek reconsideration of the Ash- burton treaty and all past boundary disputes before the International Board of Arbitration at The Hague: " The Lord gave and Lord Alverstone hath taken away ; blessed be the name of Lord Alverstone. The Eagle may be expected to get the Lion's share, but it hath taken the Beaver's also. If Uncle Sam would possess our land, let him have on* waterways likewise ; if he compel us to give him a mile, let us bestow upon him our Pacific coast into the bargain. The quality of arbitration is twice blessed ; it blesseth England that gives and Uncle Sam that takes. God save the King but who will save Faithful are the wounds of a Boer, but the kisses of a commission are deceitful. Lord Alverstone maketh a cheerful "Thou shalt not arbitrate" is the last and safest commandment of all. England expects every commissioner to do the Canadian. And now abideth these three, Ashbur- ton, Alverstone and Aylesworth, and the greatest of these is Aylesworth."

Then he • shouted, "Sic him, Moike," and I remembered I had business in Keremeos, and struck a two-forty gait down sour dough alley where it is very dark 'complected,' and made my escape.

Greenwood, at one time, before the railway reached there, it was a "dead" fj ^own, is now in a prosperous condition. Touting October $11,000 was paid into the 0. civic treasury by the taxpayers, an increase of $2,000 over the corresponding month of last year, while during the year the council has been able to finance the town's affairs without borrowing a dollar.
