X The Similkameen and Nicola Districts Contain Unequalled Wealth-Producing; Mineral Resources "Which Have Been Retarded in Their Development by Rival Railway Interests and Supine Governments, But the Dawn Which Follows the Darkest Hour is at Hand. Vol. iv. No. 50. PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 26, J904. $2 a Year, in Advance. H*' I New Mining Company, Another new company has entered the •list of incorporated mining companies in the province, viz : The King Edward Mines, Limited, non-personal liability, head office, EairyJesgrJJ.C. Capital $500,- 000, in shares of $1 each. This company has already acquired the King Edward group situate on the west fork of Suesap creek one mile above its forks and about three miles from its confluence with the Similkameen river, in the Osoyoos mining division. The King Edward group consists of the King Edward, Night Hawk, Westmoreland, V.V. & E., Johnny Bull, Tip Top, Woodland, Bank of Fairview and Kendall mineral claims. The original owners have taken up all the vendors' shares.in satisfaction of their rights in above claims and part of the treasury stock of the company is now being placed before the public for subscription at 10 cents a share. Nicola Mining Association. The Lower Nicola-Coutlee and the Nicola-Aspen Grove branches of the Provincial Mining association held a joint meeting at Nicola Lake recently. The report of A. E. Howse and his colleagues who were the local delegates to the convention, was received and a vote of thanks was tendered the delegation. Those who had in hand the procuring of an exhibit of minerals from the district for the St. Louis exhibition reported that 925 pounds of specimens had been for warded, which was a very creditable showing indeed for these branches. After the meeting the visitors were entertained to a supper at the Driard hotel, the whole proceedings being productive of much good in bringing the possibilities of the district to the front as well as keeping up interest in the mining association. Wake Up! Vancouver. An American company is working at Siwash creek near Yale. It claims to have a rich property. The company has gone to the expense of cutting a trail through the rock three miles, cabling the Fraser, and carrying in machinery, which took a week to transport. It is now busy erecting a stamp mill. As was stated at the recent Mining Association convention there is more legitimate mining going on tributary to Vancouver than the business men of that city ever dream of. If those same business men would cease dream* ing and throw off the railway monopoly shackles that bind them and their cabinet representatives there would soon be a competitive line of railway into the Similkameen. Over $90,000 was paid out by Rossland mines in wages for the month of February. That is about the amount Princeton would be receiving from the mines tributary were it fairly treated on the railway question. HEDLEY HAPPENINGS CYANIDE PLANT Singular Ambition to Become Justice of the Peace—Fun at the Club—Stuffed Ballots Used. The 40-stamp mill and cyanide plant is nearly complete. D. J. McNally, who has had charge of mill construction, will soon be leaving here for Nelson, B.C., where he will begin the erection of a mill for a Nelson syndicate on Forty-nine creek. Great excitement here awaiting Mr. Shatford's answer regarding a largely signed petition favoring the appointment of a prominent citizen as iustice of the peace. Citizens are anxious about the matter as the candidate is now threatened with non-compliance to the Act regarding invisible means of livelihood. The candidature is strongly endorsed by the president of the local Conservative association, who says he will flop over to the Socialists should his weighty influence fail to take effect. A man of good judgment, like our worthy member, will undoubtedly respond with alacrity. Even in the face of all this there is a radiant smile on the visage of Mr. Winkler, president of the Socialist club, expecting the advent of a new "comrade." < Ah, Mr. Editor, if you want to see a real hot thing, just off the grid, pay youi two bits and join the Twentieth Century club. You can feast your eyes on lovable beings and listen to the sirens, all for two bits per moon. Every Friday evening the brightly illuminated hall reverberates the hurrah of the encore committee. Countries and peoples are disputed over, woman's rights thrashed to splinters and motions put and carried, likewise amendments. There was a barrel of fun at last Friday's election of officers, some of the aspirants being defeated by stuffed ballots. Next meeting a play is to be put on the boards when some of the greatest actin' ever witnessed will be presented. Come down, Mr. Editor, and bring your friends. Scrutator. Hedley, March 19. Duty on Oil Removed. The Dominion government has taken off the duty on petroleum when imported for concentrating purposes, a move which will have the hearty appreciation of all interested in mining. The freight rate charged by the C.P.R. is 16 cents a gallon and the manufacturers' price is 13 cents per gallon. It would not look well to ask the poor railway company to lower its rates but the manufacturer might be persuaded to lower a point or two. 'Poor railway' is used advisedly. LOCAL PARAGRAPHS TROUT FISHING I Fire Alarm Wanted—Benefitted by a Bath—Juvenile S.P.C.A. — Lumbermen are Busy. The trout fishing season, which formerly opened on the 16th inst. now begins on the 26th. Next .Friday being "Good Friday" is a public holiday, also Easter Monday, therefore no school will be held on those days. The word 'radium' was a misprint in the item referring to Mr. Stevenson's loss by fire in last week's Star—it should have been 'iridium.' J. Budd, who has been at the coast early all winter, is now at Aspen Grove 'doing assessment work on his mines. One of the most important things in the fighting of fire is a good alarm. The wardens will, no doubt, devise a serviceable one for the present. A very enjoyable Lenten dance was igiven at Jack Thynne's on the night of the 18th inst., the popularity of the host and hostess being well attested by the large number of merrymakers in atten- I dance. The old and accomplished exponents of Paganini, Messrs. Ross, Thynne 'and Rabbitt drew the bow deftly while the rhythmic movements of the dancers kept excellent time. Mr. and Mrs. Gibson of Princeton were present on the occasion. The stray mare advertised by A. Carlson will be sold today at noon, sharp, to the highest bidder, on the plaza in front of the hotel Jackson. Get fat by drinking the buttermilk made by Mrs. D. Young, Wolf creek. Luke Gibson returned last Sunday with a.big load of freight for the A. E. Howse Company. The invigorating effect of Hugh Cowan's baths was manifest on a man whose last dip was two years ago when he accidentally fell into the Tuiameen, since when he has suffered with a stiff limb. Emerging from the bath on Sunday the rigid muscles relaxed and he is now as nimble as a kitten. Moral: Bathe often at Cowan's, the barber. Miss Moore has formed a juvenile S.P.C.A. among her scholars. Kindness to dumb animals is a mark of gentility in training in rvoung or old. Miss Moore's merciful efforts are worthy of every encouragement. .There ip great activity in the lumber camps about Princeton to get the logs out before the snow goes. Approximately some four million feet of timber have been cut this winter. No more felling will be/done this season. Couft of revision and appeal March 30. Northward Ho I There is a wave of emigration setting towards the Peace river country from the Similkameen and Nicola districts^ which is the result of long deferred hopes for a railway into this country. There is no doubt as to the wheat growing qualities of the Peace although some 800 miles north, and there is also no doubt about a railway being built there. Those inducements are sufficient to settle it in any man's mind whether it is better to trek northward or remain here in enforced inactivity and strain his optics to catch a glimpse of even a photograph of a railway on the horizon of time. The movement affects ranchers and mechanics principally. Americans on the Ground Floor. The Vancouver World always takes a kindly interest in the Similkameen and Nicola districts and has the following in a recent issue : ' 'Samples of Nicola and Similkameen coal have been placed on exhibition in this city. These districts are commanning a great deal of attention and, as usual, Americans are getting in on the-ground floor. The great need of these regions is railway communication. This has been agitated for years but so far without success. If the mines were on the American side of the international , line they would have had a railway five years ago." Princeton Board of Trade. At the regular meeting of the Princeton board of trade, after routine, a lot of correspondence of a private nature was received by the secretary, a special committee being appointed to deal with it. The board was unanimously of opinion that notwithstanding the deadlock in railway matters it should still continue to advocate the rights of the Similkameen with undiminished fervor in respect of rail, telephone and postal requirements. The rules of order committee reported progress. The following resolution was introduced and carried: Resolved—That the boards of trade in the Yale-Cariboo parliamentary division be respectfully invited to cooperate with the Princeton board of trade in urging upon the Dominion government the necessity for a telephoneSine to link the Similkameen with the outside world. Sportsmen Coming. Two hundred and fifty parties have been booked in New York for sporting trips through northern Canada and British Columbia during the coming summer. A large party of wealthy New Yorkers will travel from Golden north around the Big Bend of the Columbia river to Rev- elstoke. If it's fish these sports want Princeton and vicinity beat the world for trout and if it's game, why, there are 'all kinds' here. For pleasure and profit a trip to Princeton is unsurpassed. % I THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR March 26, 1904 The Similkameen Star Published Weekly at PRINCETON, B.C -flry- The Princeton Publishing Co. A. E.

While the Similkameen has never had its needs appreciaoly recognized by the Dominion government the fault was not owing to a lack of money nor a disposition to not do the right thing, but the failure to impress forcibly the things desired. Ra Ha ROGERS M.A., B.CX. SOLICITOR CONVEYANCER NOTARY PUBLIC, Etc, OLALLA P.O. Slmikameen, B.C. GROWING TIME IN CANADA. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The remarkable growth of Canada in wealth and population during the past three or four years is the subject of much comment with statesmen and the press throughout the world. But a few years ago Canada was a great lone land with only a narrow strip of civilization | along the boundary between it and the United States. Today that strip has expanded to the Arctic circle, a thousand miles distant, embracing a country rich in minerals, agriculture, timber and fish. The Peace river, Yukon, Hudson's bay and Labrador districts formerly were likened to the cold, inhospitable and barren steppes of Siberia, fit only for the convict or the aborigine. Today these districts are the centres of attraction for the settler, adventurer and explorer. The change in the tide of emigration northwards is owing to the railway policy of the Laurier administration. Another transcontinental railway from the Atlantic to the Pacific, though opposed by the Conservatives and the Canadian Pacific railway company, is now certain of construction and, no doubt, within a score of years, under progressive government a third transcontinental railway will be found necessary. The Grand Trunk Pacific, besides giving employment to an army of men while it is building, will induce thousands of all the civilized races and kindreds to settle in the country. And this commingling of the races will be found advantageous in generating a healthy spirit of rivalry in trade and occupation as well as producing a fine and stalwart people physically. Canada was never more prosperous than at the present time. Surplus of revenue over expenditure is the boast of the liberal government, indeed it seems to be a part of its settled policy to limit expenses within receipts. The opening up and development of the north country will benefit the older settled portions of the Dominion by creating a market for its manufactures and Various other products which a new country is always in need of. It is hoped, therefore, that the present government will be sustained in the coming elections, not only 1 The statement that British Columbia is on the verge of an era of greater prosperity has no small justification owing to the fact that large dividends are announced for the first time from some of the big mining industries. Dividends are a great incentive and there are many millions of them unallotted in and near Princeton. It takes capital and energy to extract them, but they are here just the same. It seems a little odd that a number of people having considerable investments in this country and resident also should find fault with the laws while they neglect to put their names on the voters' list or even become citizens. If the laws are wrong help to make them right by using vote and influence in that direction. One intelligent voter is worth more than a hundred grumblers without votes when a remedy is needed in the laws. I It is stated on good authority that the Great Northern railway is the only one in British Columbia which issues stop-over tickets. Persons travelling to Vancouver or Victoria from Kootenay by that line are privileged in this way to do business or spend their leisure as suits them, without inconvenience or further expense for fare. This is a matter the railway commission might regulate. Paardeburg Day has become a recognized annual event in commemoration of the Canadians who fell in that sanguinary fight. For their steadiness and determination in this and all other engagements in South Africa they received nothing but the highest encomiums from the commander-in-chief down. But Canadians are a peace-loving and peaceable people, fighting only when forced to do so, and then to win.

At a recent meeting of the directors and shareholders of the Bellingham Bay & British Columbia it was decided to expend three million dollars to extend the road now running from Whatcom to Maple Falls along the Skagit river, on the American side, through the Mt. Baker district, tapping the big mining section there, and to a point on the American side nearest the Similkameen valley mines. It was said at Sumas that the scheme was part of a proposition whereby the coal mines of the Similkameen and Nicola valleys were to be opened up. The fact is vouched for that the meeting decided to extend the road through an easy American pass via Mt. Baker district to a point about 30 miles distant from Princeton. There is also a persistent rumor that Jim Hill is behind it and his goal was the Nicola valley coal mines. JAS.

Blackstock, vice-president of the Centre Star and War Eagle company has recently returned from B.C. to Toronto. He states the mining industry is on the verge of a new era of prosperity. He said the prospects were that within a very short time Montreal and Toronto capitalists would be asked to compete for the establishment of plants for the manufacture of the by-products of the lead mines. The plan was being backed by the C.P.R. and the output, to begin with, would be between seven and eight thousand tons per year.

The story is told that one day a young freshman entered a barber's shop in Ithaca. He seated himself in that recumbent attitude which men assume when they desire to be shaved, and a barber, smiling—for the boy's face was altogether beardless—tucked a towel about him, lathered him, and then, strolling to the doorway, began to smoke a cigarette. The freshman waited in silence a few minutes. Then he exclaimed: "Hey, what are you doing there?" "Smoking," said the barber. "Well, why don't you shave me?" "I am waiting for your beard to grow," the barber answered. Hostess—You appear to be in deep thought, Tommy. Tommy—Yes'm.

THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR m CHANGEABLE MR. TARTE. He Has Been Flaying Folitical See- Saw All His Life. Everybody acquainted with the political career of Israel Tarte knows his unreliability as friend or foe of any political party, for he has all the qualities of the chameleon in being able to change his coat as occasion, or ambition may dictate to him. Grit and twice a Tory, his vanity has played odd pranks with his career, in leading him to think he was capable of being premier of Canada. The door was closed to his ambition in the Liberal household so he removed to the Conservative domicile. He has already ousted his fellow French-Canadian Tory leader in Quebec, his next step will be to oust Mr. Borden from the leadership of the party in parliament. While minister of public works under Sir Wilfrid Laurier Mr. Tarte never did anything for the Similkameen, though urged to continue the telephone line from Nicola Lake to Princeton. . The Halifax Herald on February 22, 1900, just about four years ago, expressed a fervent desire to see Mr. Tarte treated summarily by the premier. He was a very bad man, then ; and was quite unfit to hold a position in the government. "We want no repetition of the Afrikander Bund in Canada with its sowing of seed, the harvest of which is blood," the Herald observed. "Canada is and must ever remain an integral portion of the British Empire ; and the man who goes about stirring up race feeling against the empire because the majority happens to be of another race than those appealed to is not only a traitor but a very despicable traitor. The French-Canadians to whom these seditious appeals have been made have every right that any • other kind of British subjects have, and have no just grievance against the empire whose flag protects them. The appeals are therefore made for purely treasonable purposes, and should be so regarded and treated. And, first of all, Tarte must be kicked out of the government—not allowed to resign, but kicked out." Yet Tarte, the traitor, is today one of the leaders of the Herald's party—its "master," in fact. The Herald and its friends have taken him to their arms with joy, traitor as he is. Mr. Tarte must be enjoying himself hugely, as he notes how his oldtime libellers kowrtow before him. Marching Through Corea. [The Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Siberian rifles are leaving Port Arthur on their way to Corea.—News Item.] Smite the drumskys, boyseroff, we'll have another song!
