Here is the way an envelope was addressed that came from across the frog pond: "Mr. , the leading hotel, Hotel Jackson, J. H. Jackson proprietor,. Jacksonville, Princeton, British .Columbia, Canada." Strange how the letter reached it's destination, for the sender When the Similkameen is mentioned everyone thinks of just one 'word— Princeton.

Postmaster Bell has received instruc;. tions from Ottawa that it is not the policy of the postoffice department of Canada to allow postoffices to be opened on Sunday. At the instigation of the Lord's Day Alliance an o:der has been issued by the department ordering the closing of wickets at all postoffices in the dominion.

So far this year Slocan mines have paid $100,000 in dividends. Last week Boundary mines shipped over 20,000 tons of ore. Soon the mines around Princeton will be doing business with the smelters. Granby shares are quoted at $6.12*4- A few years ago they were worth 3 cents. A block of coal land, containing 17,000 acres, in the Tilkina valley has been sold to the Grand Trunk Pacific. The prospects for mining in the Similkameen district look better this year than any year in the history of the camp. Prospectors are getting ready for the spring rush to the hills. May they wear diamonds the size of pumpkins this fall. Radium slumped this week from $1,- 200,000 an ounce to $1,000,000. It was a sad blow to radium stockholders in Hedley. The Calumet and Hecla mine has paid $88,000,000 in dividends since it started This is a few cents more than the Star has paid. The Granby company is making $100,- 000 per month at the present price of copper, and is turning out the metal at a cost of 9 cents a pound. A smelter is to be erected shortly for the Iron Mask mine near Kamloops. The first unit having already been ordered for delivery in-six weeks. J. Thynne of Otter Flat has sold his claim adjoining Summit No. 2, owned by D. Ross, to J. Lennicke It is a galena proposition, and the price $3000. \ ,A dividend of two per cent, or $19,164, has been declared by the Reco in the Slocan, making, when paid, a total of $326,246 in dividends by this silver-lead property. The Lucky Jim of Sandon has declared a dividend of $8000. This bringing the total to $24,000 since last June. It is of interest to note, that these dividends have been earned mainly from the shipments of zinc ore. P. Connolly of.Otter Fla,t is sinking on rich looking ore on the Red Bird. As a result Qf speriding all his spare time and cash he has a splendid showing. The Red Bird has the earmarks of a producer. The Trail smelter has torn down the last of the Heinze gold-copper furnace and is putting in a new up to date furnace with a capacity of 350 tons a day. The old furnace had a capacity of about 150 tons a day. The smelter has>aiow three large gold-copper furnaces with a combined capacity of over 1000 tons daily. It has also three copper stacks. 8AA^nA"^Ann^ni'vWAWmAAAnw Word comes from Grand Forks that Ihe Great Northern is sending out two survey parties at once, about 16 men in each party. One party will w6rk north from the boundary line near Oroville, the other south from Princeton, locating the line along the Similkameen river. A special to the Star from Keremeos states that a Great Northern survey party is outfitting there. That another party is now en route to Princeton. This confirms the report sent out from Grand Forks that the Great Northern would put men in the field at once, locating the line south along the Similkameen river, and north from Oroville. Mr. Callaghan, C. P. R. construction engineer, is in the Boundary; but he has given out verv little, railroad news. From Victoria comes the unwelcome tidings: "Government railway policy not yet decided." Instead of building into Similkameen, the C. P. R. is building into Spokane. \ HEDLEV CROPPINCS f They now play quarter-cent ante in town. Our sports are certainly blooded. Real estate is moving in Hedley. Dust was blowing on Scott avenue this week. Business is picking up in town. Last week the proprietors of the Grand Union purchased a new broom. There is a* move on foot to organize a branch of the Western Federation of Miners here. It's a good idea—shove it along. In union there is strength. Not an idle man in camp. The Nickel Plate company have increased their force and the Hedley Lumber company have added 15 men to their sawmill gang. The Twenty-mile creek band gave a few delightful selections the other night. .The froglets this year are larger and more musical. Since the appearance of these musicians the scheme to raise funds for a city band has been dropped. Frank Bailey will leave shortly for Cocos islands to try and locate some of the hidden treasures. If successful he intends bringing back a ship load or two of the yellow stuff and will then proceed to place Similkameen City on the map. Hughie Campbell, one of the argonauts of golden Cariboo, now a resident of this place, received word recently that a niece of his had won the "gold medal and highest honors at the Paris academy of arts for the finest collection of paintings, all her own work. Arthur Clare, who has^een identified with the Ymir stamp mill since it \jras built, six years ago, arrived in town this week and is now in the employ of the Daly Reduction company. Before leaving Ymir his associates presented him with a handsome tea service. Thomas Bradshaw, proprietor of the Fifteen-mile house, would, like to get hold of the Princeton correspondent of the Gazette. He states that after he was through with him the correspondent would look like 30 cents with ' the three off. An apology is due Mr. Bradshaw, for he had nothing whatever to do witlvthe sending of the message. Hedley is strictly up to now. Here we have the Friday club, whose members meet to criticize the authors; the Sewing club that talks sewing; the Twentieth Century club that is living in the second century;!the Athletic club making future champion prize fighters, and the Gamblers' club, studying hole cards and the difficulties of making a four flush win. I. Guggenheim, of the Guggenheim syndicate, has donated $50,000 to the Colorado school of mines. There's no truth in the report that the great Hedley editor and philanthropist will give a similar amount towards the establishment of a school of mines at Princeton. w y mta^mmaaliaitsmmtamimiimit THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR April i, 1905.

AS TO MINING. Many people have many many minds, which has often been proved in mining. How different are opinions as to the value or productive capacity of a mine. What some persons would regard as a producing mine others would look upon as nothing more than a prospect. This difference of opinion often creates disagreeable results with co-owners and accounts very largely for many disappointments which are often met with in mining. Many a man, unfamiliar with three to five years before the prospect can be classed as a productive and paying mine. This period is too long for the impatient ones, for those not familiar with mine practice and requirements, and the result is that they drop out of the venture disgrunted and at a loss, not being willing to give the management the time necessary to work the transformation required and which is necessary, when taking an undeveloped prospect with the view of turning it out full-fledged, into a steady producer of imperishable mineral wealth. The buyer thought he had a mine; instead, he only had a hole in the ground. His patience or his pocket-book failing, he let his interest go, and now he has neither a mine nor a prospect: although, had he been well informed, he might today have had an interest in a producer and in a dividend payer.

Synopsis of Regulations Governing the Disposal of Dominion Lands within the Railway Belt in the Province of British Columbia, NOTICE. mining, imagines he has a mine when in fact he has only a prospect. Many prospects may be in shape to produce but they are not mines. For it requires a lot of development before it can be rated as a steady and large producer of precious metals. Tunnels must be run, shafts must be sunk and the property explored so as to establish the continuity of the ore deposits. The amount of ore in sight and available for shipment must be sufficient to warrant a production of from one hundred to a thousand tons daily for a number of years. There are many deposits in the Similkameen" which have surface indications of great mines, yet they are only prospects until they are developed. All mines were once prospects; but all prospects can not be transformed into mines, even with the most exhaustive development and exploitation; and herein is where the trouble lies, as many people believe, when securing an interest in a prospect, that they are co-owners in a mine, and they begin at once to clamor for ore shipments, for dividend disbursements, little realizing the fact that the finest and most promising prospect, as a general thing, although there are a few isolated exceptions, re-] quire a large amount of money and time expended in their development Defore they can even consign a few tons of ore to the market. Another feature connected with the development of a prospect is the fact that, under the most favorable circumstances, with ample means at hand for mine development and equipment, and with a property of undoubted merit and value to begin with, it often takes a period of from The story which illustrates the fallibility of successful mining men was recently told at a meeting, says the Mining World. Senator Clark, who is perhaps the wealthiest individual mine owner in the United States, had a development option on some claims near the Copper Queen, in the Bisbee district, some years ago. His manager sunk a shaft 400 feet and coming upon considerable water the work was abandoned and the option thrown up. Recent developments have shown that the shaft was within 60 feet of a bed of copper ore, and that instead of abandoning the development when striking water it should have been continued, for the finding of water is a fairly certain indication of the proximity of ore in that district. It is likewise said that the Verde mine at Jerome was twice condemned by a leading copper expert before Senator Clark took it up. Many instances of this kind might be told, all pointing to the fact that no man's judgment is infallible in the matters of mining and demonstrating that all the mines have not yet been found, even in districts long developed and extensively prospected.

JAMES CAMPBELL. February 10, 1905. George E.Winkler Penticton, B.C. Real Estate & Mining Broker Correspondence solicited from parties havingf]property to sell. A LICENSE to cut timber can be acquired only at public competition. 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 additiou to the rental dues at the following rates are charged : Sawn ium- ber, 50 cents per thousand feet B.M. Railway ties, eight and nine feet long, 1% and 1% 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 no 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 permits to cut Op 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 ]4 to m£ cents per lineal foot for building logs ; from 12*4 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 company. Royalty at the rate of 10 cents per ton of 2,000 pounds is collected on the gross output. Entries for land for agricultural purposes may be made personally at the local land office for the district in which the land to be taken is situated, r>r if the homesteader desires, he may, on application to the minister' of the interior at Ottawa, the commissioner of immigration at Winnipeg, or tbe local agent for the district within which the land is situated, receive authority for some one to make entry tor him. A fee of $>io is charged for for a homestead 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 or mother. 3. If the settler has his permanent residence upon farming land owned by him in the vicinity of his homestead, the re quirements of the Act as to residence may be satisfied by residence upon the said land. Application for a patent should be made at the end of three years before the local agent, sub agent or a homestead inspector.

All of the sure thing games in Victoria were raided last week, but the legislature is still doing business. A. B. Aylesworth, Q C, says the "bar" should be open all the time to every one. Aylesworth must have visited Hedley on Sunday. L. W. Shatford's paper inquires: "Has British Columbia been gold-bricked?" It certainly has—by Dick McBride and his colleagues. The czar has called in Kouropatkin and has sent Linevitch to supersede him. He should have sent Carrie Nation with her little hatchet. Ella Wheels Wilcox says people make a mistake in hugging delusions. Ella was always strong for having the hugging done in the right way. The British Columbia legislature, now in session, in amending the game laws, did not extend the protection clause to safeguard the wolf and tiger. Dr. Darlington of New York says a germ will live a month on paper money. So can the Star editor, if the denomination of the bill is large enough. The Nelson board of trade refused to endorse the resolution passed by the Rossland board favoring a copper bonus. So far Rossland hasn't asked for a bonus on gold. Recently a man in Tombstone, Arizona, was fined $5 for killing his mother in-law; and yet that territory, populated with such fearless, peerless men, has been denied statehood. The Idaho legislature has appropriated $30,000 for the establishment of a school of mines at Moscow. The small bore government in power at Victoria will not even give a short bit towards a similar institution for this province. The Star's down the river contemporary is very much stuck on the local government's education bill. By all the learned men in the province the bill is admitted to be unworkable and a calamity to schools. What our contemporary needs is education. Our Twenty Mile creek contemporary stated last week that the Vancouver Province expressed disapproval of the demand of the G. T. P. Had the Province approved of it editor Nichol would have lost his meal ticket, for the C. P. R. owns that paper body, boots and suspenders. The people of British Columbia are getting tired of the McBride administration. Here is what the Star's chained poet thinks of the premier: Dick! Dick! give us a rest, oh do! B.

Editor Similkameen Star: Sir: Your very apropos remarks in your issue of March 21 relating to "the Napoleonic genius" who does most of the thinking for this district generally (?) especially in regard to his well known abilities (?) as a road boss on the west fork of Kettle river some time recently, have been keenly appreciated by the readers and subscribers to your paper in this district; more especially as we cannot fail to support your very determined and praiseworthy defence of. Mr. A. E. Howse in the ungentlemanly and behindhand attack lately made on him by the military titled gentleman of Hedley referred to above. You may take it as a fact that this letter does not simply express the feelings of the undersigned alone, but is heartily endorsed by a large number of those who are at all times, even irrespective of politics in any way, sincerely and heartily adverse to an unwarranted and scurrilous attack on any man's character, and more especially so in the case of our friend, Mr. Howse, who is, and always was, above the faintest suspicion of treason or treachery to the cause of honesty and uprightness. The remarks of the worthy '"Son of Mars (?)" already referred to, cannot be looked upon in any other way than those of any enemy to truth and fair play and unworthy of any honest man. I am, sir, yours very truly, C. W. HoziER. Fairview, B. C, March 22. 1905. PROVINCIAL PICK-UPS Kamloops is putting on city airs. It is to have a $3500 fire hall.

It will be 408 years next Thursday since Canada was discovered, and she is Still doing business at the old stand. The opinion is expressed in Victoria that there will be as much railway legis lation this year as there was last—none. A moral wave has hit Phoenix hard. A branch of the Independent Order of Good Templars was organized there last week. Twenty years ago today (April 1) the Indians fooled the white settlers of Battleford, N. W.
