PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1905. $2 a Year, in Advance THOUGHTS OF A VISITOR. B?s-:w' Princeton Likened to Paradise in its W$&. Climate and Scenery. Editor Star—Sir: In my last I said that I would write something about the 6fe around Princeton to be smelted. I have, however, concluded to first describe the surroundings of Princeton, for, as you may well know some people live in a place because it is beautiful, while others care nothing for climate or scenery but£simply ask how much money can be made there. I desire to show that Princeton is capable of pleasing any and all classes. ' When I was a young man I had the pleasure of visiting a large estate on which was a magnificent residence. Before you reached, the residence you went through a bronze gate. What pleased me more than anything were the small lakes in various parts of the estate around which were deer and birds'. Elms, oaks, rock maples and native trees were so plentiful that. it seemed like a forest.. Yet there was no trouble in travelling through any part of the estate as there was no underbrush. There were some thirty miles of road with easy grades. To my mind Princeton is much like that estate, only on a larger and much more magnificent scale. As for the roads, make it hundreds instead of thirty miles; instead of a few deer and birds make them thousands; instead of the elm and oak call in the large and stately pine. Leave out the magnificent residence and pitch your tent on the Similkameen any place from Ground Hog flat to Mr. Bromley's lower ranch and.next morning after having slept in the cool air off Hope mountains and. having . breakfasted on ■cold roast venison and bannock, ask yourself if you are not in a magnificent residence. The pine trees, the silvery river, {he grassy; hills that feed five thousand Qattle, all combined compel you to think o,f magnificence, grandeur and sublimity. The climate is warm in summer and cpol in winter. The winter is a good Canadian winter with some snow but never very cold. The air is so bracing that when you walk ten miles you often feel another ten will make you ready for Supper I suppose "one will get tired in that climate, but it did seem to me that, in such a; .climate, a man was capable of doing twise as much, he could do in any other climate I have ever been in. I there met several asthmatics who said they were never troubled with asthma in Princeton. I presume the elevation of the place or the dryness of the climate has something to do with that. Let me say that Princeton may not be a paradise but I consider, for climate, and natural scenery it is about as near that place as one can hope to find on this continent. In my -next I hope to take up the mineral resources. Yours truly, Spokane, Sept. 23. Alexander. THEBOARD OF TRADE ENCOURAGING WORM Mineralogical Survey of District is Pressed for by Board. the Need of Map and Handbook of Information—Annual -Meeting November 2nd. Matters of much importance received the attention of the board of trade at its regular meeting Thursday evening. Communication from T. H. Murphy re zinc ore at Summit City was received and secretary instructed to write Dr. Haanel, of the Dominion department of mines, regarding same and furnish sample. Communication from S. V. Ells of the geological department addressed to man , ager of the Vermilion Forks Co. and presented to the board, re mapping of this district. A resolution was passed urging Duncan Ross, M.P., to use his influence! to secure a geological survey of Princeton district next season as had been done in Nicola and at Rossland. It was pointed out that the prospecting and development of the mineral resources would be greatly aided by a structural survey of this district. A motion was carried pointing out the necessity of cooperation of mining, mercantile, real estate, ranching and profes sional men in procuring a handbook of useful information, with map, of the Princeton district. Verbal communication was made that Mr. Shatford, M.P.P., was endeavoring to get an appropriation for reduction of grades on trunk road. The board recommends the.formation of a bucket and hook and ladder brigade for fire protection. A minute was made of the board's desire to cooperate with the Imperial government in securing universal penny postage and the disarmament of nations; it also proffers assistance to Dominion government in solving tariff problems. On motion the attention of the provincial government was respectfully directed to the need of a sidewalk to the court house and the unfenced condition of the school house. The president's annual report and election of officers is fixed for next regular meeting on Nov. 2nd. Board adjourned. J Mr. and Mrs. E. Waterman will give a dance on Hallowe'en to which invitations 'will shortly issue. A dramatic performance is soon to be put on the boards. The cast is complete and rehearsals are in order. Particulars next week. Mesdames Morrison and Turner, of the Sunset camp, Copper mountain, were ^visitors to Princeton this week. President Hill Promises to do Great Things for this &s • Rich Country. y., V. & E. will be ,Built Within Time Limit of Two Years and from Both Ends. . James J. Hill, railway king and autocrat of transportation rates, was in Vancouver recently with a trainload of millionaires. He told the reporters that he would do more for Vancouver, than had ever been done by any railway corporation. That means he will pour the riches of the Similkameen into their lap by the V.,V. & E., now building. Most important to ^Princeton was his statement that he would build east from Cloverdale this winter. Thus, construction will be rushed from both ends. BEAR CREEK MINING. The Liverpool mining property on Bear creek owned by Gu's Spearing et al has been sold to the Armstrong-Law company. The price reported to be paid is $6,000. C. F. Law promoted the deal which now brings under his company's control a group of mineral claims that will develop into a great mine. The ore assays as high as $56 and there is an immense body which maintains a high average in values. It is the intention of the owners to install machinery for the development of the property as soon as the road now building to Bear creek is completed Other parties with claims in the Bear creek district are jubilant over recent strikes and the energy of the Law-Armstrong people permeates the whole camp, adding vigor to mining and prospecting generally. ; PECULIAR ACCIDENT. George Wardle met with a peculiar .accident while setting out to hear Rev. Mr. Fowlie's farewell sermon last Sunday night. Emerging from Hugh Cowan's brilliantly lit tonsorial parlors into an Egyptian darkness he fixed his vision bn a neighboring light to guide him along the sidewalk. Only a few paces when his reckoning led him off the boards and he lunged heavily against the end'of the guard rail striking his eye and ■inflicting a serious wound above it as well as bruising his cheek. Dr. Schon put four stitches in the cut and the patient is doing well. Mr. Wardle travels so often over this sidewalk that he knows every board in it and the misstep must have been caused by optical delusion. In any case the sidewalks should be wider and is it not about time Princeton.should put 6n some frills and have electric lights to guide its esteemed citizens whither they would go? teyf MINING NOTES. Assessment Work and Prospecting in Various Portions of District. J. Crowley and J. O'Neil are working on the Smuggler mineral claim in Combination camp, Copper mountain. They have been crosscutting and have struck a body of very fine bornite samples of which- evoke very favorable comment from local experts.. Willerson and Johnson have recently finished assessment work on the Knob Hill mineral claim in which they opened up the lead in a hew place, proving the ore to be continuous. J. and C. Snowden have been prospecting on the headwaters of the Ashnola. Ben Baker is at Wolf lake doing assessment work. Bob Cramer is making a road on Copper mourifain for the B.C. Copper Co. The diamond drill at work for the B.C. Copper Co. on the Helen H. Gardiner mineral claim, Copper mountain, employs about a half dozen men in its operation. It is understood some 3,000 feet wid be sunk in different places. The daily average of drilling is about 25 feet and will last well into winter. This is the first diamond drill to-be used on Copper mountain and will greatly assist in estimating the mineral wealth of that far famed section. James Dunsmuir, the millionaire coal mine owner, was at Nicola last week inspecting the coal lands recently purchased by his agents. LEAVES MISSION FIELD. Rev. A. J. Fowlie preached his farewell sermon on Sunday evening to a large congregation, taking for his text Ex. 8:20— Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me. On Tuesday evening a farewell social was tendered the rev. gentleman in the court house. Laiy citizens provided toothsome delicacies for bodily refreshment and gentlemen of all creeds, faiths and doctrines contributed to a purse of gold, in all $75, which was presented to Mr. Fowlie by Gordon Murdoch. He thanked the donors for their gift and expressed best wishes for all, evincing visible sorrow for the severance of social and religious ties in Princeton. Plays, songs and a recitation relieved the occasion of the seriousness bred of separation. Mr. Fowlie's preaching was conciliatory rather than aggressive, yet helpful and full of sound doctrine—he ever strove to reconcile man to his Maker and man to man. Of frail physique he was unable to endure the work of this field. The good wishes of everyone follow him. A. Hickling, director of the Vermilion Forks' Mining Co., is expected to arrive on today's stage. A consulting engineer on water and lightsupply for Princeton will soon be.here on his invitation;:!

CLOUDS ROLL BY. Everything points to the dawu of a period of great commercial and industrial activity in the Similkameen. Though tardy in coming it fulfils the predictions made by the Star years ago. Gradually, yet surely, the years of depression and stagnation are giving place to the days of plenty and prosperity. No inflated boom nor mushroom growth of towns with a ruinous reaction leaving in its train deserted houses and empty stores will characterize the' development of this section of country. The upward and onward movement has begun. It will increase in momentum as the two railways now building toward Princeton lessen the gap in transportation facilities. From the good old placer days of i860 and 1885 up to the present time the Similkameen has been visited by a host of prospectors, miners, explorers, investors, experts and settlers, all of whom describe it as a land of great promise. Its remoteness from the beaten track of travel and the utter lack of railway communication has made it a veritable terra incognita to all but those who braved the hardships of primitive modes of travel. Now, however, with comfortable coaches, wayside inns and good hotels at terminal points tbe discomforts of early day travel have been eliminated. The journey to Princeton, whether made in automobile or ordinary vehicle by the tourist or business man is full of sightseeing and interest and for spectacular fsgjendor the ride on cay use via Hope pass over the mountain range is unexcelled. All roads and trails lead to Princeton. It is the diverging point to. any place or mining camp in the Similkameen and lies at the confluence of two auriferous rivers, the Similkameen and Tuiameen. Railway construction is wlej} advanced from the two initial points Spence's Bridge and Midway. The Great Northern and Canadian Pacific railway companies.will compete for Similkameen tonnage from opposite directions. Both companies have had agents in this district for years past calculating, measuring and sampling the ore and coal deposits. It is no mere guesswork with these colossal companies which have every aid of science and wealth at their command to determine the great mineral resources of this district. If they are satisfied that the natural wealth of the country justifies the expenditure of millions of dollars surely there need be no hesitation on the part of lesser companies and individuals in investing and developing. The enterprise and faith of some in the future of Princeton and vicinity is already manifest in new business structures and improvements and in the large mining operations at Copper mountain, Boulder, Bear and One-mile creeks. With the advent of great trunk lines of railway into the Similkameen the impetus to every industry and business will, it is believed, exceed the calculations of the most extravagant optimist. Those who are on the ground and ready for the march of progress will reap the reward that is theirs by right of foresight in improving opportunities. - *fc NOTES AND COMMENTS. J. J. Hill, president of the Grei t Northern, was , in Vancouver recently and boosted that city so vigorously that the C.P.R. will need to be watchful or it will lose its grip on it, street ends and all. What a glorious thing it is for the people to have competition. The presentation of the freedom of the great city of London to Gen. Booth, head of tbe Salvation Arm}7, is an honor unique in that no dignitary of any religion has had that honor hitherto. The helping hand of the Army has been outstretched to the corners of earth in uplifting the 'submerged' of humanity, a work which churches often fail to do. All will admit that Gen. Booth deserves the honor and it is all the more refreshing since it comes from such a rich and aristocratic city to one of the most humble of men. The government printing office at Victoria has recently published an excellent bulletin descriptive of the game of this province. The illustrations are exceptionally good and the information is just the kind to be of value to sportsmen. The Financial News of Boston says that the next great world development will be in Canada. The pfi'fiie agent for this great development is the building of railways. Its mineral deposits and forests are only second in importance to its wheat producing possibilities. ' Evt erything indicates that Canada is full of mineral—the precious metals; coal, iron, copper, tin, nickel phosphates and petroleum abduncffl These fields are thus far only being touched on the edge.

Baldwin, chief of the V., V. & E. survey corps at work in Hope mountains, is in town. A party is now working east of the summit toward Princeton. West of the summit the line is located about half the distance to Hope. Prolonged and unusually heavy rains have prevailed during the past two weeks which has caused the rivers and creeks to fill with muddy water. "Dry belt" is a misnomer when applied to Princeton these moist days. Weather prophets say that it indicates a green winter—a condition that v. ould please the railroad c< n tractors. Princeton offers a good field for the establishment of some of the fraternal societies. Sam Spencer is a patient for a few days owing to the accidental discharge of a revolver which fell from its fastening on the wall. The bullet passed through the fleshy part of his leg above the knee inflicting an elongated wound which caused considerable loss of blood. The wound is healing nicely. Contractor Wilson has the A. E.

A rental of $5 per square mile is charged for all timber berths excepting those situated west of Yale for which the rental is at the rate of 5 cents per acre per annum. • In addition to the rental dues at the following rates are charged: Sawn ium ber, 50 cents per thousand feet B.M. Rail way ties, eight and nine feet long, iy2 and \^i cents each. Shingle bolts, 25 cents a cord. All other products, 5 per cent on the sales. A license is issued so soon as a berth is granted, but in unsurveyed territory n» timber can be cut on a berth until the licensee has made a survey thereof. Permits to cut timber are also granted at public competition, except in the case of actual settlers who require the timber for their own use. Settlers and others may also obtain per< mits to cut up to 100 cords of wood for sale without competition. The dues payable under a permit are $1.50 per thousand feet B.M., for square timber and saw logs of any wood except oak; from Vz to 134 cents per lineal foot for building logs ; from 12^ to 25 cents per cord for wood; 1 cent for fence posts; 3 cents for railway ties; and 50 cents per cord on shingle bolts. Leases for grazing purposes are issued for a term of twenty one years at a rental of two cents an acre per annum. Coal lands may be purchased at $10 per acre for soft coal and $20 for anthracite. Not more than 320 acres may be acquired by one individual or cornpany. Royalty at the rate of 10 cents per ton of 2,000 pounds is collected on the gross output. Entries for land for agricultural pur poses may be made personally at the local land office for the district in which the land to be taken is situated, or if the homesteader desires, he may, on applica tion to the minister of the interior at Ottawa, the commissioner of immigration at Winnipeg, or the local agent for the district within which the land is situated, receive authority for some one to make entry for him. A fee of $10 is charged for for a home stead entry. A settler who has received an entry for a homestead is required to perform the conditions connected therewith under one of the following plans: 1. At least six months' residence upon and cultivation of the land in each year during the term of three years. It is the practice of the department to require a settler to bring 15 acres under cultivation, but if he prefers he may substitute stock; and 20 head of cattle, to be actually his own property, with buildings for their occupation, will be accepted instead of the cultivation. 2. If the father (or mother, if the father is deceased) of any person who is eligible to make a homestead entry under the provisions of the act, resides upon a farm in the vicinity of the land entered for by such person as a homestead, the requirements of the Act as to residence prior to obtaining patent may be satisfied by such person residing with the father I or mother. 3. If the settler has his permanent residence upon farming land owned by him in the vicinity of his homestead, the re qui rem en ts of the Act as to residence may be satisfied by residence upon the said land.
