PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1905. $2 a Year, in Advance THE BOAKD OF TRADE. The board of trade met on Thursday night, it being the annual regular meeting for the election of officers. The retiring president, F. W. Groves, spoke of the usefulness of the board in the past and its widening sphere of influence in the future, stating that if it had accomplished nothing more than secure the telephone line it had well repaid all effort of members toward maintenance. He advised continued loyal support of the board and thanked all for their cooperation during the year of his presidency. The treasurer's report was very satisfactory and showed the board was in a healthy financial condition. A vote of thanks was tendered retiring officials. The following officers were elected: President, E, Waterman; Secretary, W. H. Switzer ; Treasurer, H. Cowan. SEEKS WIDER FIELD. The following from the Nicola Herald will be read with pleasure by many who are acquainted with Geo. R. Philp, of Nicola, who has been secretary Of the A. E. Howse Co. for several years. He is leaving to become a disciple of ^Escu- lapius in the art ot healing. Courteous and obliging in business, always a gentleman, Mr. Philp merits all the express ions of regard for him, in which the Star joins and wishes him' a successful career : "G. R. Philp, who has been with the A. E. Howse Co., Ltd., for over six years leaves next week for bis home in Hamilton, Ont., and after a short visit with his relatives will leave for Toronto to take a course in medicine. Mr. Philp leaves Nicala with the best ^wishes of a large number of friends who wish him every prosperity. During his stay in Nicola he has taken an active part in everything for the welfare of the district and town in which he lived and his valued service dnd advice will be missed. In the future Nicola may be favored with a visit from Dr. George R. Philp. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Howse entertained a number of friends at their residence on Wednesday evening to bid farewell to Mr. Philp. A very pleasant evening was spent in games, singing and dancing. About midnight a recherche lunch was served and the host in a neat speech proposed the health of Mr. Philp and wished him every prosperity in his new vocation, which was joined in by all singing " For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Mr. Philp responded thanking his friends for their kind remarks and the good wishes for his tuture. The party broke up shortly after midnight after a very enjoyable evening presided over by an excellent host and hostess."

Three Railroads Building out of Midway—Will C.P.R. be First Into the Similkameen ? MINIM PARAGRAPHS Granby Shows Large Profits for Year which are Likely to Increase. Providence High Grade Mine Yields Handsome Profits on Small Ore Tonnage, It will be recollected by everyone who is conversant with railway matters affecting this district that Canadian Pacific officials announced a few months ago that their company would be the first to construct in the Similkameen. If reports be true there is some possibility of the correctness of the statement, for it is said that the C P.R. has let a mile of contract this side of the international boundary along the Similkameen river. It is a fact, however, that contractor Tierney, Of Nelson, has begun construction at Midway for the C.P.R. Engineer Bain- bridge, of Vancouver, is cross sectioning the route westward, the preliminary line having been run some years ago beyond Princeton. It is certain that the C.P.R. is doing all in its power to obstruct V.,V. & E. construction. Today, in Vancouver, before the supreme court the V.,V. & E. will ask for a warrant of immediate posses ( sion of right-of-way disputed by the C.P.R. The building of a mile of road, on the Similkameen river would amount to nothing more than petty obstruction. S. S. Cranshaw has charge of the party locating the Wolf creek section of the V ,V. & E. which touches the river near Ashnola. HALLOWE'EN DANCE. In the minds of some superstitious people Hallowe'en is associated with spooks and hobgoblins which go about to annoy and frighten persons on the night of October 31st. This traditional record was not verified in the least on last Hallowe'en for? instead of wandering ghosts there was a gathering of "lovely women and brave men" in the ball room on invitation of Mr. and Mrs. E. Waterman. There was a good half hundred or more of the merrymakers, not a few coming from Hedley and the rustic suburbs of Princeton. Briefly described, the decorations, music and refreshments were much appreciated, the pretty ball costumes of ladies greatly admired, while a certain air of refinement pervaded the whole night of pleasure and entertainment. The popularity of Mr. and Mrs. Waterman in the social life of Princeton again received further proof of its spontaneous hold upon all; their own personalities/ having made many friends of those in every creditable walk of life. The annual report of the Granby Mining and Smelting Co., of Grand Forxs, has been published. It is interesting reading and must be very gratifying to stockholders and the management. The production of copper bullion during the year shows a slight falling off, due entirely to the fact that no outside matte was purchased for treatment. The profit is considerably larger than last year,; amounting to $712,649. This handsome sum was attained by economies introduced during the year and by a better average price of metals. During the year $350,000 were expended in improvements. The smelter now treats about 3,000 tons daily. ' J. E. McCauley has finished the season's work on the Professor and Blue Bell miueral claims, Copper mountain. He has made a series of open cuts and began a tunnel which will be about 600 feet in length when finished. He will return early next spring from Spokane to resume operations. The annual report of the Providence Mining Co. of Greenwood was recently published, showing- a net gain for the year of $19,034. There was mined during the year 657 tons of ore, which gave $61,919. The cost of mining was $19.83 per ton, and the cost of hauling, assaying, freight and treatment, $10.71 per ton. The managing director urges the installation of more machinery for the economic working of the mine. J. A. Haralson has taken a bond on r6. silver-lead claims on Seymour Arm, averaging $65 in silver. The bond was for $240,000 and $10,000 must be spent next year. [ The West Kootenay Power and Light Co. is spending $1,000,000 on its works. Mines and smelters will use the electric power developed. There is a well founded report going the rounds of the press that the Great Northern railway company has bought the B.C. Copper Co's smelter for $ 130,- 000. No official confirmation of the report has been made as yet. 1 F. W. Groves, P.L.S., came up from Keremeos i>n Thursday where he has been surveying a ranch. Dr. Mathison, dentist, leaves tomorrow for Hedley, having been here a week. THEY CAME AND SAW. Officials of the Daly Reduction Co. at Hedley came up to Princeton last Saturday on a visit, there being in the party Manager Lamb, Auditor Crawford and wife, and Marcus Daly, jr., stockholder. Although they had read and heard much about Princeton they were agreeably surprised to behold with their own eyes and mental perception the wonderful gifts of natural wealth and resource observed on every side. To quote : "The half had ne'er been told them " gives one an idea how this section strikes strangers on their first visit here. They saw the coal mine of the Vermilion Forks Co. in its pro ducing stage ; they observed the auriferous bars of the Similkameen river ; they saw samples of minerals within a 20-mile radius of the town ; they looked on the cattle feeding upon a 'thousand' hills, then bent their gaze upon the townsite and the railway location, exclaiming within themselves: "It is well." Mr. Lamb is an antipodean from Ballarat, the greatest free milling gold district in the world, with an annual production of $70,000,000. He is pleasant and communicative and will, no doubt, be a popular citizen of Hedley. Under his short management the old methods have passed away and bnsinesslike control is stamped on every department. Radical changes were necessary and Messrs. Lamb and Crawford have performed their separate roles with alacrity. Mr. Daly is charmed with Princeton and enjoyed the ozone off the breezy altitudes of Hope mountains. The party returned to Hedley on Sun- dav. VISITING MINING MEN. Fred, Keffer, manager of the B.C. Copper Co., and W. D. McMillan, owner of the Apex group on Keremeos creek, were in town Thursday. Mr. Keffer was on his way to the Sunset mine, Copper, mountain, where a diamond drill is in operation proving the group under bond to the companv. At a depth of 310 feet the drill hole was lost which will require casing before boring can be resumed. Meanwhile the drill has been moved to near the Tinhorn fraction and is boring there. Mr. Keffer will inspect other properties while in this section and secure, samples of same. W. D. McMillan reports that work on the Apex group is progressing rapidly. There are 16 men steadily employed in development work. The ore ' is now proven to be of great body, containing high values. Mr. McMillan thinks that the whole of the Similkameen is on the verge of great prosperity. ^Fr.om here he goes to Portland canal on the west coast of B.C. where he is interested in a copper mine. He isof opinion that Seattle is fast superseding Spokane as a center for mining capital. Mr. McMillan will be here again in the early spring to look after coal and other mineral interests.

Although there were one or two ranchers in the Similkameeu prior to the mining periodr.yet there is no question that mining is the chief . and • pioneer industry of this dis- district." Without it there would be no Similkameen beyond its mere . physical exjstence denoted by some ■ coloring on the • map-' The fruit', ■ cattle-raising-and farming industries are the gracious' and convenient ■ coincidences which mother Nature has made as adjuncts or helps to . the great industry of mining. With' out any desire to minimize the im- .<-,pbrtance of agriculture it must al- .' -" ways take a secondary place here'. because the area is limited. But it .will have a home market which will give good prices and make this" industry' unusually" profitable to all ■ engaged' in it.,. Mining develops all the resources of a country more rapidly than any ; pther industry for the reason that it gives birth to opportunities which • no business pursuit can. It calls into being vast enterprises of an ^engineering character ; it requires ■elaborate and expensive machinery; . its- smelter, stamp mill, .hydraulic and dredging plants are aTiong- .the most'costly.- All these and collateral electro-hydro power plants for mining operations make enormous bills to be paid, by the capit'al- " ist and investor. The banker, merchant, real estate broker, manufacturer and- others are anxious to be established in a progressive mining camp. Good prices and high wages are the rule in mining-sections. As ,a-; coal and -6re mining center and as the distributing emporium'of the upper Similkameen, Princeton offers the .best. inducements for investors. ..to; be .found anywhere in British O&ffitmbia. The Geological Survey Department of Canada has issued its' summary report for. the year 1.904. It -is -published by authority of the Minister of the Interior, Hon. Frank Oliver and is full of instructive reading for mining men generally. Considerable space is devoted to the Nicola coal fields which fully corroborates the unofficial reports of those who have examined that district from time to time. Aspen Grove copper camp is reported upon giving geological" information as well as making notes; of the work done on the various mineral claims. The Princeton board of trade has sent a memorandum to the governs ment at.Ottawa asking that a simi: lar report be made of the Similkameen district next year. The reports of the Geological Survey Department can be obtained of the King's printer, Ottawa, for the small sum of 25 cents each...

An Oxford undergraduate was expatiating to him on the merits of the typical French novel.

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, i)4 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 permits 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 ]/2 to iyi cents per lineal foot for building logs ; from 11%. 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, 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 situ ated, receive authority for some one to make entry for him. A fee of $10 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. Before making an application for a patent the settler must give six months' notice in writing to the commissioner of Dominion lands at Ottawa, of his" intention to do so. W. W.
