Three Thousand Square Miles of Mineral Area in the Similkameen, not One-Tenth of which has been Prospected—Fine Climate, Good Grass* Vol. vi. No. 9. PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1905. $2 a Year, in Advance cam Sunset is Pioneer Mine. Good progress is being made under foreman Morrison in the work of developing the Sunset on Copper mountain. This property, now controlled by the B.C. Copper Co., will undergo thorough exploration and proving before the bond matures. Some very fine ore has been taken from the bottom of the shaft, now at a depth of about 200 feet. Mineralization seems to increase with depth as noted by the larger flakes of bornite. In the bottom of the shaft native copper in a fissure vein of talc is exposed. Everything is working smoothly for machinery which has been so long idle and quarters for employees are comfortable. The Sunset is the best developed property on Copper mountain and its progress is sure to be of interest to mining men It has already, in a large measure, solved the future of Copper mountain as a mining camp and other companies may now take heart and follow their leader and pioneer mine. Developing Red Star. Pouwels & Bonniver have gone to Roche River to work on the Red Star, j From this claim a stream of sulphides of] copper in solution flows, samples of which j have been tested and prove it to contain I a large percentage of copper. Even the 1 trees in this vicinity are charged with copper which the sap has conveyed in its coursings and which may be readily detected by the blue stain in the kerf of a tree. The Red Star is one of the most promising properties in the Similkameen district and is ready'to ship as soon as there are facilities. The tunnel, about 50 feet, is all in ore, along the hanging wall are found clusters of yellow copper. Assays giving $55 in copper and gold have been made. The country rock is a mica schist impregnated with iron pyrites. Experts pronounce the Red Star a most inviting property.

Dr. Mathison has secured dental parlor iV*h"e Silverson block and may be consulted at any reasonable hour during the week he will be in town. Read his pamphlet "Concerning the Teeth," to be had on application. Besides dentistry the Dr. is an artistic craftsman of the Fourth Estate being a loyal member of the International Typographical Union. He was a pioneer typo in Vancouver and owned a large printery there after the big fire. Whether it be 'pulling proofs' or pulling teeth he is equally expert and is the first registered dentist to visit the Similkameen. In all probability he will make Princeton his future home, the attractions of climate, scene and outlook proving too strong to withstand. With his family he has resided at Greenwood for some years. The Dr. and the Star leader man held cases on Vancouver's pioneer newspaper, The Herald, when that city was about the size of Princeton. V Ailing .banker. W. Spier, manager of the Eastern Townships bank at Grand Forks was in Princeton Thursday taking stock of the resources of the country and noting the opportunities for business. He was very pleased with all he saw and predicts a great future for this section. He made exhaustive enquiry as to the quality of the coal here and its cost. He was of the opinion that fruit growing would yet be large and profitable industry in this val- Ly. Mr. Spier was recently elected president of the Sunset company whose property is now being developed on Copper mountain.. The Eastern Townships bank handles all of the Granby Mine and Smelter Co's banking business at the Forks and recent rumors of a Gianby smelter in this section and Mr. Spier's visit is a coincidence of more than ordinary significance. This is Progressive Age. The Nicola Herald first saw the light at Nicola Lake, on Thursday, 18th inst., No. 1 of which is on the Star's exchange table. Mechanically it shows some traces^ of haste in production, otherwise it is a! bright and healthy newspaper. To the* practised eye advertisements are the key-J stones in the building of a newspaper; and of these the Herald seems well supplied. In politics it stands on neutral ground. It will be interesting to note how long it will preserve its political equilibrium. Brother, we wish you a soul full of lofty inspiration and a pocket ever full of coin* W. Y. Williams, mining expert of Spokane and formerly superintendent of the Granby mines, arrived in town yesterday and will go to Copper mountain to inspect the bonded properties of the Granby Mining Co. Recent rains and glowing sunshine has caused a broad smile to illume the face of "Hodge" who has quite finished seeding and planting. Range cattle are up to their hocks in grass and fattening rapidly. Pigs are doing splendidly on the wild potato which i^ now at its best. This succulent vegetable is good for man or beast and with the wild onion makes a portion of the Indian's daily muck-amuck. Andria Bjerkness of Nelson was in town this week making an investigating trip through the country hereabouts. He has made some land purchases already and may invest in mineral. He is presi dent of an extensive fruit shipping and growing company in Kootenay, manager of the Nelson Ice Co. and president of the Electric Light and Power Co. He is amazed at the wonderful resources of this country. R. Fitzgerald is working on his claim, the Maple Leaf, near Granite creek, and is down 12 feet in ore on a j)4-foot ledge. The ore is quartz in a schist formation. Some float assayed $224 per ton. J. Cook, of Portland, Ore., passed through on Monday on his way home, having been at Voigt's camp for the past ten days. He is one of the largest individual holders of mining property on Copper mountain on portions of which considerable development and good mineral showings have been made. John Long of Loomis, Wash., was in Princeton this week on his first visit. He is the best known cattleman in the state of Washington and has made a large fortune in that vocation. He came to that state in early days, when the woods were full of Indian and bear, and there carved out the foundation of his future fortune. Mr. Long has some mineral interests here and is not averse to further investment. He left on Thursday and will return again in a couple of months Geo. E. Winkler left Thursday for Penticton and will return in about a week. He is a contributor to the Mining Record in a descriptive article of the West Fork of Kettle river which will be read with interest by mining men generally. Road to Bear Creek. C. F. Law of Vancouver arrived in town from Bear creek camp and reports good progress being made on the tote road now being constructed to the camp. When finished it will be the best road in the country with not more than a 7 per cent grade and wide enough to permit of two wagons going abreast. The first use. of the road will be to convey supplies and machinery to his mine after which it will be used for ore hauling. As soon as the railway reaches Princeton shipping will begin by wagons, but Mr. Law hopes to have rail connection up the Tuiameen and thus save some 25 miles of haul and consequent toll on the ore which assays $56 a ton. Spokane to Princeton. ^Koyer & Galliac have inaugurated a stage line which, with connections, puts Princeton about 40 hours of travel from Spokane. The stage line begins at Che- saw, Wash., where it makes connection with the Great Northern stage line for Phoenix. Between Phoenix and Che- saw there is a daily stage. It is possible by this route to leave Spokane on the morning train and reach'' Princeton at noon on the third dayout, a distance of 325 miles, about half of which is by stage. As compared with the roundabout routes there is an appreciable saving in distance. Fred. Revely will attend to this end of the route and that ensures punctuality and comfort for passengers. ^~y ^Kindly Remembrancers. ^**rior to leaving Greenwood for Princeton Mrs. (Dr.) Schon was presented with a set of valuable solid silver tea spoons and some very pretty China tea ware by the ladies of St. Jude's guild of which she had long been an active member. The Times of that place says: "Mrs. Schon, in acknowledging, said that it had always been a pleasure to her to cooperate with the members of the guild in all church work, and that she should often think of them on their regular meeting days and hoped they would sometimes think of her." " Seeing is Believing." J. J. Bennett, of Loomis, Wash., arrived in town Tuesday and is looking over the country with a view to investment. Mr. Bennett is particularly interested in coal, since the major portion of his life occupation has been in connection with that important mineral. He is a native of Jackson county, Ohio, the centre of coal mining in that wealthy state, and is in touch with many capitalists who acquired their riches in coal ground. He is couvinced of the great mineral capabilities of the country and accumulated a lot of data regarding these. Mr Bennett proceeds from here to Columbus, Ohio, and will return at an early date to Princeton.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is announced that the Dominion government will add Yukon to British Columbia and increase the number of senators from this province to six. The increased responsibility accompanying such a large acquisition of territory will tax the governing powers of the local government. As it is now composed the premier would require to annex, not more territory, but some person who is capable of conducting the ordinary routine business of the country without unnecessary delay. The senators will not do the province any harm if they do not benefit it much. The senate chamber is only a resting place for a lot of broken-winded "old women." Why not turn it into a chloroformatory ? The whole country groans under the burden of too many lawgivers. ment of a mining school—it is self- evident to any intelligent man. Hence, there ought to be no hesitation oh the part of a live government in making provision for one and Princeton offers unequalled conditions in the presence of almost every variety of mineral for practical demonstration and teaching generally. The managers of the exhibition are to be congratulated for their forethought and enterprise. The serious need of a mining school in this province has been often pointed out and emphasized by some of the leading newspapers and mining journals of this country as well as by tbe Mining Reporter of Denver, Colorado. It now appears that the managers of the Dominion Exhibition to be held in New Westminster from Sept. 27 to Oct. 27 appreciate the efforts of the press in behalf of the establishment of a mining school and the dissemination of a knowledge of this, the leading industry of the province, and will give an exhibit of mining and smelting operations. This miniature mining school with the explanatory remarks of those in charge cannot fail in being interesting and instructive to those even who have never had an opportunity of seeing the processes of reclaiming valuable minerals from mother earth. If a suggestion might be offered to further the admirable intentions of the managers it would be to provide a daily lecture by an able man on prospecting and other rudiments of mining. By this means there may be awakened in some retentive minds a desire to make mining their life work ' and study. There is such a vast field for discovery and scientific research in the mineral kingdom of British Columbia that it seems unnecessary to argue for the establish- The Star is in receipt of many letters enquiring about the Similkameen. It would be impossible to answer all these letters with that courtesy and attention which they deserve as the editor is making some inquiries himself. For instance: " When will Mr. Shatford have the road between here and Hedley made fairly passable?" "How long will the Five-Mile ranchers have to wait for their long promised road?" "When is the government going to put the road between here and Hope in safe condition for travel?" "When are the grades to be cut down on the trunk road in answer to the prayers and petitions of residents?" "When will the McBride administration 'tumble to itself and resign?" With these questions unanswered and others incubating neither the editor nor the "devil" are in mental frame to enlighten correspondents. In lieu thereof the suggestion is made that anyone desirous of information regarding the Simil kameen could not invest $2 to bet ter advantage than by subscribing to the Star. Now send along your checks before this advice gets stale. Everything is ripe for a great stride forward in the prosperity of the Similkameen. There never was such coni unction of opportunities and conditions whereby men could with judicious investment hope to profit with greater certainty. The possibilities of the country will be increased many thousand fold by the railway and any man with a cool head and a few dollars can become possessor of a competency in a short while. Experience shows that in a country of such varied and inexhaustible mineral resources the man who is fortunate enough to gain a holding will almost irresistibly be borne on the high tide of prosperity. Begin on the ground floor and the time to do so is now. papers. Supporting a local newspaper does not simply mean paying a subscription, but also by givinglit the news. In less than a month items which originally emanated from the local paper will have appeared in scores of other papers, reaching the eyes of many thousands of readers elsewhere. Let such information be reliable, and good must eventually be derived by the locality to which reference is made." NOTICE. Sailor Jack mineral claim.
