PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1906. $2 a Year, in Advance LOCAL AND GENERAL Two Weddings Relieve the Social Relapse After the Holidays. Politics Prove Somewhat Strenuous for Mr. Shatford—Reported he will*Retire. WEDDING AT NICOLA. ■ D Morrison, superintendent for B.C. Co., will leave in a fortnight on a visit to his mother in Nova Scotia. The published retirement ot L. W. Shatford, M.P.P., after the present session has led to the announcement of two possible candidates for the vacancy : C. E. Thomas, Princeton, and E. Bullock- Webster, Kdreineos. The Star, as with all the interior newspapers, has given much space to the Sun day Alliance, an institution which is doing much to secure a common Rest Day for workingmen and all classes of society. Opposition to the Alliance comes chiefly from greedy employers and soulless companies. INSPECTS DRILL OPERATIONS. Fred. Keffer, manager for the B.C Copper Co., arrived in Princeton last Sunday night- on his way to Copper mountain to inspect the drilling opera tiions on the Princess May one of the Sunset group under bond to his company. Mr. Keffer is such a busy man that he has no time to talk to reporters but it is understood that satisfactory results are being obtained from borings. Considerable native copper has been pierced by the drill. He expressed pleasure at seeing some very fine ore in Voigt's camp. The B.C. Copper Co. is making extensive improvements at their smelter and mines in the Boundary. FELL TO CUPID'S AIM. J. J. Marks and Miss Blanche Brown were united in marriage at the Methodist church, Hedley, on Thursday night at 8 o'clock at which there was a large attendance of friends of the popular couple,, The demonstrations of the audience as- the final words of the minister made the happy pair man and wife took on a lively aspect. Rice and confetti were peppered at them until the floor was ankle deep in places, while outside salvoes of hunting artillery mingled with the music of the tom-jon, the huegag and the guzzy-fuzzy greeted the smiling pair. A hundred guests sat down with Mr. Marks and bride at the hotel Similkameen to a splendid supper after which dancing was kept up until chanticleer left the roost and roseate morn peeped over the hills upon a thrice happy pair. The Star extends hearty congratulations. Princeton Couple Make Hymeneal Vows there Last Monday. There were few who knew the full import of the departure last Sunday morn ing of a happy young couple from Princeton to Nicola. The distance is 71 miles and the road winds through pass and canyon, now on top of high plateau then quickly descending into valley, along beautiful lake and rippling stream until fairest Nicola nestled in a lap of exquisite charm is reached. A more picturesque route could scarcely be suggested for those journeying to hymen's altar, for such was the joyous mission of Mr. J. G. McDonnell and Miss Lyall. The wedding was celebrated at "Pine- hurst," the fine residence of Mr. A. E. Howse, immediate friends and relatives being present. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. Geo. A. Mason, the bride being attended by Mrs. F. A. Howse and the bridegroom supported by Mr. F. A. Howse, while the bride was given away by Mr. A. E. Howse. Lohengrin's beautiful wedding march was the musical accompaniment of the interesting occasion which pat tor Mason cut down to the shortest form comoatible with solemnity and the Presbyterian marriage ritual. The bride was very becomingly attired and looked supremely happy. The wedding was at 6 o'clock p.m. after which supper and then the bridal party drove in the resplendent lunar light to quiet Quilchena. Before departing a large party of serenaders with deep-lunged voices and various implements of music gave them a hearty send- off, following them with rice showers and the old lime symbols of good luck, the slipper, old shoe and the rabbit's paw. Le aving Quilchena next morning they drove to Kamloops where a week will be spent returning to Princeton tomorrow uight when an ovation will be tendered them in frontier style. The journey will include some three hundred miles of driving, but love braves every difficulty and laughs at distances, which is typical of most occidental weddings owing to a paucity of parsons—Princeton is without one. H . The bride is second daughter of W. C. Lyall, manager of the Princeton branch of the A. E- Howse Co., L'd, and the groom is son of J. G. McDonnell of Toronto and is descended from the Highland clan of that name, distinguished on bloody Culloden's field and later as United Empire Loyalists defended the old 'meteor' flag against revolutionists. He attended Upper Canada College at the same time as F. A. Howse, on whose invitation he came to Princeton., thus meeting his wife and becoming the principal in the happy event above recorded. The Star joins with many other congratu- lators and wishes Mr. and Mrs. McDonnell a loqg and happy married life. LORD'S DAY ALLIANCE Compliments Exchanged Between Fiery Editor and Irate Preacher. Contrastive Opinions as to Manner of Observing the Sabbath, or Best Day. Editor Star—Sir : In the Lord's Day Advocate, Nov., 1905, there appears an article "The Lord's Day among the Mountains and on th- Prairies," written bo the Associate Secretary. The whole article would be too lengthy for insertion in your columns, but the following sentences are sufficient to show its spirit toward the West generally, and the miners in particular : "True, it was not always the quiet and worshipful sabbath of older parts of Canada, but in the newest prairie towns, and in the busiest mining centers there was an evident respect for the Day. In the most Sabbathless places there.are those who heartily helped the Alliance and stood steadfastly for the maintenance of the Rest Day as the inherent right of the citizens and an absolute necessity to the nation. And there were some towns where the methods of keeping the day would be an example to many places in Eastern Canada. "The miners differently observe the Sabbath. The coal miners in the Pass towns have demanded and obtained freedom from work on Sundays, and in many silver-lead mines the toilers have their Rest Day. But in some mines they work every day alike. Some miners argue that they have to pay board for every day and consequently they must work every day. It must be very poor work where six days' wages will not pay seven days' board bill. But without exception these men after a few months' work would collect their entire wages and repair to the saloons, gambling dens and places of vile resort, where in a few days their hard-earned money would all be speet." The Nelson Daily News of Nov. 30 prints the following : "Surely the Associate Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance Hoes not expect to make converts to the cause he advocates by the publication of grossly inaccurate statements con- oerning the silver lead miners of this province. Yet we find in his report published in the last number of the Lord's Day Advocate, the statement that in some mines the men work seven days a week, and "' without exception these men, after a few mouth's work, would collect their entire wages and repair to the saloons, gambling dens, and places of vile resort, where in a few days their hard earned money would all be spent.' " The man who will deliberately pen scan dalous libels of this nature ought to be in jail or in a lunatic asylum." The editor who would deliberately and maliciously misrepresent the statements of any person in this way ought not to be in a lunatic asylum ; but ought to be in jail. By publishing this letter in your valuable paper you will greatly oblige. T. Albert Moore, Associate Secretarv, L.D.A. Mr. Deane, editor of the Daily News, Nelson, is an active opponent of the Lord's Day Alliance and has sent a letter of Rev. H. S. Akehurst's (Church of England) to the newspapers for publication. Space for extracts only can be found in the Star, as follows : "Dear Sir,—There have been sent to me forms of petitions to the senate and commons of Canada seeking the enactment of legislation on Sunday observance. * * * These petitions, besides making illegal the Sunday indulgence in many innocent recreations, will deprive many working people of the only opportunity they now enjoy of spending a few hours in the healthful open air of the country, and so escaping for a brief spell the soul-deadening surroundings of their daily life. * * * Let us in all lawful and expedient ways try to ensure to every man his weekly day of rest, though that may not in all cases or on all occasions coincide with the Sunday." The bishops of the church of England have published a pastoral letter on Sunday observance and the work of the Lord's Day Alliance, as follows : "For the further preservation of the purity and sweetness of christian life, we would urge on all who 'love the Lord Jesus' to leave nothing undone by voice, by influence, by example, to preserve the sacredness of the Lord's Day. One dreads to think what the fashionable mode of regarding and using that day will lead to and we warn the christian manhood and womanhood of the church that when fashion is allowed to usurp the throne of Christ, when the day is used for excited pleasure, and wholly divorced from worship, the divine object of the day is lost, and Christ is dishonored, when above all he should be glorified. * * * In connection with this we would commend to the church the work of the Lord's Day Alliance of Canada. We would welcome and aid any Godly effort of this description, and knowing the devoted earnestness displayed by the Alliance in this respect, we pray God's blessing to rest upon its labors." [Regarding Sunday observance, the Star as now edited holds to the Biblical or sacred Sunday as opposed to the innovations of men. All the 'innocent recreation' necessary for health or enjoyment may be found on that day in the quiet stroll or walk in which to commune with friend or nature.

MINING INDUSTRY GROWS. The jump in increase of mineral output of British Columbia for last year must cause the most hardened pessimist or knocker to weep tears of gratitude. Time was when the croakers said there " was little pay ore north of the 49th parallel and that the people Were too slow anyway to develop it. From being a mere placer gold producing country of not a score years ago with an output of about two million dollars per year, this province last year produced minerals to the value of $21,000,000, an increase of $2,000,- 006 over 1904. Those figures fully establish the fact that the mining industry has reached a period which may be termed the manhood of its existence and has passed out ot its teens'so far as production and value are concerned. The province now stands in. the front rank of lode mining countries j and only the fringes of its vast mineral belts have been touched. The Similkameen, Atlin, Cariboo, Cassiar, Omineca and Big Bend districts are only known by name to the world. Adventurous gold- hunters discovered the yellow metal in these districts and large quantities of it were obtained by primitive modes of mining. But ma chine mining by skilled operators is very limited in any of them and • must remain so until the railroads make transportation of heavy minr ing appliances possible. What the gold dredge will do for the Similkar meen where the rivers and creeks are known to be rich in gold can only be estimated by comparison with other countries. This branch of gold mining will yet be a great source of wealth to the province for all the elements are present to make it so. But the great hope of these districts lies in their lode mining capabilities. Perhaps none of them is quite so fortunate as the Simrlka-- meen; which will soon have a railway to develop its vast metallifer-., ous- deposits and extensile., coal measures. It is most gratifying to note that the increase of last year's output gives promise of being exceeded in 1906. Nearly all smelters are being enlarged, mines will be further developed and working staff increased, while many new mines will be brought to the shipping stage. The high prices now realized for all metals is sure to act as an incentive to further production, in fact prices may be said to regulate and control the industry. Copper is higher now than for years, $18.50 to $19, a price that yields large profits and which can only be maintained by the excessive demand which now and for years is predicted to characterize this metal. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The provincial-legislature opened Thursday, nth" inst., and was adjourned to Monday when the speech from the throne would be considered. After the opening ceremonies Socialist "HaWthornthwaite played to the galleries by introducing an " Act to Extend the Franchise to Wofen," which was ruled out of order by the Speaker. The' Speech is very lengthy and is void of any striking features. It contains a lot of congratulatory matter for the very ministers who framed the speech. Self adulation is a prominent trait of the McBride cabinet who, in the bouse and out of it shake hands with themselves and pass around the loud-smelling bouquet with the utmost sang froid and nerve. The railway policy of the government is a blank and no hint is given of the nature of the legislation, if any, to foster communication with isolated mining districts. • Mr. McBride had opportunity to prove himself an adept in statecraft had he enunciated a clean cut railway policy. If be had said that there would be no more subsidies to railways and upon that foundation built up a policy he would have earned the gratitude of the people and popularized his government. He has not the courage to fight the bonus-beggars and so the corridors of the house will be filled with lobbyists all the session. Amendments to the Municipal Clauses Act, the Game Act and the Land Act are announced and the suggestion made that more liberal expenditure for public works is contemplated. Gold dredging, as an industry, is expanding in a remarkable manner In the scientific way in which it is conducted now there is probably no safer mode of mining gold and success is sure to follow when . men of experience have control of it. The field for gold dredging in the district from Princeton up the Similkameen and Tulameen rivers, also Granite ' creek; is practically inexhaustible., Dredging ground maybe obtained''-by lease from 'the provincial government, j Pay. dirt is found in the bars and benches along the rivers, many of which produced handsome returns for the placer miners of early days.
