PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER § 1906. $2 a Year, in Advane BEFORE THE COURTS Golden Sovereign Mine at Aspen Grove Bone of Contention. A SUCCESSFUL SHOOT Shooting for Turkeys Proves Popular Sport—Ladies take „ TJU_J_ The Golden Sovereign mine at Aspen Grove has got itself tangled np in the courts and the outcome of the suit pending will be watched with considerable interest. Messrs. John P. McConnell and Jno. M. Miller are suing J. E. Bate, S. J. Bate, Julia A. Henshaw and Robt. J. Armstrong for a recision of the contract, the return of $25,900 paid by plaintiffs to the defendants and unstated damages. It is stated that the plaintiffs purchased the Golden Sovereign group of claims from the defendants in Julv, 1905. Recently, it is alleged two of the claims were found to have run out and restaked by other parties, and McConnell e't aj. are now suing for the purchase price. It is alleged the claims restaked are the most valuable of the group. As the Sovereign group is a very valuable property a lively legal contest is looked for. FIRE BRIFADE DANCE. A committee of the Fire Brigade met on Wednesday evening to consider the advisability of holding a dance, for the purpose of raising funds to purchase necessary fire fighting apparatus The only obstacle seems to be the inability to secure a piano for the even'tig. There are several pianos in town but their owners don't seem inclined to loan them out, claiming they are subject to damage in moving. This is certainly to be regretted as the object of the dance is a praiseworthy one aud deserving of support. It is to be sincerely hoped the necessary instrument will be forthcoming from some quarter. Just before going to press it was learned that Mr. Waterman had saved the situation by kindly offering his piano for use. Hurrah for Waterman ! RAILS AT OROVILLE. The Looniis Prospector of Nov. 16 says: "Railroad iron is stretching down near to Oroville, and if there are no more ( hitches the construction crew should be in the town next week. It has been a long drawn out delay, but people have become used to that kind of a thing of up in this country where time cuts no figure in a contract. However we ought to be thankful that the cars are so | near at last, with a prospect of their being still nearer before winter is over. Lcng stage rijdes and annoying freight delays will soon be a thing of the past, j ranged for the evening and the grown and the whole upper country will feel ups as well as the children will be furn- the benefit of the change." Tbe Star is ished with a pleasant evening's enter- mal?e it more popular than e,ver, A target was elected near the Court v j B ■■ ■ House and in the course of the afternoon several dozen turkeys and chickens.were shot off. There were some crack shots present and keen rivalry was displayed. Mr. Roberts, of the V.V. & E." survey,' c irried off the largest number of prizes. Taking everything into' consideration some very creditable scoring was (tone; MeSdaiues Milliken, Bell and Godsoe faced the target in the ladies' competition, and there was a scattering to get well behind the firing line. Several shots were fired before the target was found, and then Mrs. Milliken covered herself with glory by placing a shot fair and square in the center of the bull's eye, winning for herself a handsome gobbler. The bird seemed to appreciate the honor of being captured by so fair a shot, and appeared to bethinking how he would dress on Xtnas day, as he was anxious to make a good showing on that occasion. Mr. Gibson was well pleased with the financial end of the sport and promises to have another shoot in the course" of a cc#iple of weeks. XMAS TREE ENTERTAINMENT. The annual children's Xmas tree entertainment will take place on the evening of the 21st inst. in the Court House. The Misses Lyall report having met with great success in canvassing for subscriptions for this lauduable purpose, the do nations to date amounting to over $70, so the little folks are assured of a supply of good things at the hands of dear old bewhiskered Santa Claus. To be strictly up to data Santa is thinking of arriving this year in an automobile. As in past years the children of the district as far west as Granite Creek and east as far as Jameson's are invited to join in and partake of the good things. An excellent programme is being ar- STEAMERS COLLIDE In Seattle Harbor with Fatal Results-Many Lives Lost —Carlessness Cause. Steamboat collisions and mishaps seem to be the oroler of the day, and Seattle has maintained its reputation for taking the lead in matters sensational by having |in its harbor no less than three collisions ia one week. On Monday, the 19th, the steamer'Dix 'Capt. P.'-Leermon, bound from Seattle to Port Blakely, with passengers, sank-two miles north 'i of .lAlki Point shortly after 7 a. rji. .Sunday,.after having collided' with the, ore steamer Jeanni'e, Capt. P. H. Mason. Forty- three'passengers' and' 'members of the cre'w of the Dix are missing and 36 were saved. The Dix is a total wreck, while the Jeannie >vas not injured in the least. On the morning of the 23rd the City of Seattle collided with the Monticello. and a short time afterwards the steamers .Manetta-a-nd Kitsap mixed it up. In both of the latter cases heavy passenger lists were carried, and fortunately no serious results occurred from the collisions. praying most strenuously that the rails ' tertainment. will reach Princeton before long, when .

SALE OF GOVERNMENT LANDS. • The auction of Government land situated at Point Grey and North Vancouver held in Vancouver city last week realized the unexpected sum of {670,000. Jtf>is stated Mr. Rankin, the auctioneer who conducted the sale, received a 5 per cent, commission, totalling up $33,500 on the deal. The.World, in referring to the sale, says: "There is a rumor that the auctioneers for three days' work and the advertising will receive 5 per cent, on {670,000, which will give them {33,500 as commission ! ! Is this rumor susceptible of corroboration? We simply ask the question for information, for should it prove to be true then there has been an unpardonable waste of public monies and people ought to know it. Five per cent, is far and away.beyond the proper scale for real estate sale of such magnitude. There is not a dealer in the city who would not have been content with one per cent, or even less." D. A Carmichael, superintendent of telephone construction, returned from Aspen Grove on Monday. In conversation with a Star representative, Mr. Carmichael said it had been decided to suspend operations in connection with tbe erection of telephone poles during the winter, it having been found that the work could not be satisfactorily carried on when the frost was in the ground. The work will be resumed in the spring as soon as weather permits.. LOCAL AND GENERAL. Perley Russell was in town on Thurs- | day from Granite on business. Sam McCoskery, Tom Hughes, and I Tink French left on Sunday last for Tulameen City where they will be engaged in erecting buildings for J. H. Jackson. We have a car of Xmas goods arriving next week. You are invited to call and . inspect them at the A. E. Howse Co. Ltd. In addressing a public meeting at New Westminster last Saturday McBride gave the impression that a general election might be looked for before many months. The Dominion Parliament was opened ' on,Friday, the 23rd inst., in the presence 9f an unusually large number of people. Speaker Sutherland announced that Hon. Mr! Hymaii had sent in his resignation of his seat and had gone south on account of ill health. It is rumored' that Mr. Clifford Sifton will be offered 'the Minister's seat. • j D. O. Day left on Sunday last for Hedley to accept a position on the Gazette i for a few weeks. L. C. Wynne left on Friday for Ollala where he goes to examine and report on- a mining property for eastern capitalists. The enterprising citizens of Hedley have formed a club, to be known as the: "Prospectcrs Club," for jth/e purpose of advertising the town. May they meet* with all Kinds of success. '■ Abel Trombiey who was convicted last.week on the charge of supplying whiskey to an- Indian, was taken to. Kamloops on Sunday in charge of Chief Constable Hewat. Trombiey has friends at Kamloops and'it is his intention to apply to them for support to appeal his. case to a higher court. Mr. A. E. Baldwin, chief of mountain- surveys for the V. V. & E., left on Sunday las-t for St. Paul, his work in this section having beeu finished. Although Mr. Baldwin is a man of few words and of a retiring nature, he made many friends during his eighteen months' stay in Princeton, who wish him success ih his new fields of labor. Engineer Scott accompanied Mr. Baldwin out. MORE STRIKES ON HAND. A Greenwood despatch of Nov. 24th says: The strike at the British Columbia Copper Co.'s smelter is still on. Both- sides are firm. The company has shut down the Mother Lode mine, throwing 150 men out of work.. The union has retaliated by calling out all the men at the other mines iwprkediby the British Columbia Qopper C?9-v except those necessary to save the .property from destruction.

In the past this journal has had much to say about railway building. It has advocated the adoption of a polic}' of free trade in railway charters so that an end may be put to the very unpleasant, not to say disgraceful scenes that have been presented session after session in the lobbies and committee rooms of the Ottawa and Victoria Parliaments. It has been contended that where a concession is not sought by a railway con:pan5r it should have tbe same right to secure a charter as a company that incorporates and is seeking the right to build a bridge, work a mining claim or establish a sawmill. A railway that has been declared to be a road for the general good does not need a Provincial charter. It may even possess itself of a right - of-way without Provincial permission. That right has been established by a decision of the British Privy Council. It is only when a company ask to build a railway that they are required to come before the Local Legislature for a special act. We have asked before and we now ask again whether the time has not arrived in the history of British Columbia when the necessity for the passage of a private bill for railway purposes should cease and railway companies be put on a footing with other companies formed for other objects ? Why is power given to every other company to do what it pleases and railway companies are alone excepted ? Why should the enterprising capitalist with bona fide schemes be forced to go before the Legislature and run the gauntlet of a private bills committee and of a vote in the House to obtain permission to spend millions, while parties who represent interests other than railways are given a free hand ? It cannot be because the railway coit- panies seek a right-of-way; they have that anway; nor can it be because they ask rights that the constitution fails to confer upon them Some ten years ago the Victoria House passed a general tramway act, which conferred upon tramway companies the right to build with- charter. They are required only to register. Now, why should not the same right be extended to railway companies? Why should the law not be amended so that in cases where a railway franchise or char ter is required it could be obtained upon the same terms as a charter for a tramway? Wherein lies the difference that calls for exceptional treatment? Of course, where a subsidy is asked the matter assumes a different aspect and the Legislature should be consulted. But where a subsidy is not asked the parties show their good faith and their ability to perform the work they wish to undertake, and are willing to come within the terms of a general act, they should be accorded the freest and broadest encourage-T~~*« ment. They should be welcomed/ with open arms. No obstacles! should be placed in their way and ai private act should not be required! Many years ago the practice than required American railway com* panies to go to a State Legislature! and procure acts to allow them tcJ build, was discontinued. It wasl found that the bills when before the Legislatures were made the objects of corruption and graft and that no company that was not willing, like veal, to be "bled white," need hope for a successful application. Now that is all changed on the other side. All that a railway company has to do is to incorporate, register its intention to build, define the line of its road, and there you are ! The Legislature having delegated its power to an official has nothing to do with granting the charter, the cost of which in registration and other fees is only from $50 to $100. Here a private railway bill costs from $1,000 to $2,000, lawyer's fee? included. How much goes in graft will never be known. Certainly a reform is needed and candidates for the Legislature who may take the stand that there should be free trade in railways ought to be elected. poor dupes almost tumble over each other in their effort to get something for nothing or fabulous returns for a small outlay, which anyone of average intelligence ought to know was a swindle without being apprised of the fact. Aside from this the press of the country is continually warning the people of the dangerous character of those swindling operations and publishing reports of the thousands who have learned by dear experience of the fraudulent nature of so many concerns in which they have intrusted their all. We would say it serves them right were it not.for the fact that the victims in many cases are poor people who can ill afford to lose their daily earnings in this manner. SEALED TENDERS addressed to the undersigned, and endorsed "Tender for Custom House, Osoyoos, iJ.

Replete with Valuable Information for the Miner and Investor—For Sale at Low Figure. The sixth annual edition of the Copper Vx Handbook, the only publication devoted exclusively to the copper industry, has been issued, being several months later than usual in appearing, owing to the sickness of the author last spring, but matter of much later data has been used than in preceding issues, so that the book is as nearly up-to-date as its predecessors, and far more bulky aud exhaustive in its treatment of the manifold phases of an industry that is world wide in scope. The Copper Handbook is encyclopaedic in scope, but is written throughout in plain language, easily understandable by those lacking a technical education? The work begins with a chapter 011 the the history of copper, followed by articles on the geology, chemistry, mineralogy, metallurgy and uses of the metal, with eight chapters devoted to condensed description of the known copper deposits of the globe. A glossary of mining terms will be found useful to all readers not thoroughly conversant with practical mining, milling and smelting. The statistics of the copper trade and of copper share finances are covered in forty pages , of highly condensed and accurate tables. The major portion of the book is devoted to a chapter describing practically all known copper mines of the world, • and listing every copper mining company of importance. The detailed descriptions tn the main chapter of the book a-.e especially valuable because of their completeness, covering, as they do, exact titles, full addresses, details of organization, officers and fin-nee, in addition to full and careful particulars regarding location, area, ores mine development, equipment and prospects. Heretofore works of reference devoted to mines have confined themselves either to the financial or the mining end, but the Copper Handbook covers all the features of inteiest to investors, miners or-scientists, not of one mine or company, but of thousands, not in one district, but in every district of the world. The Copper Handbook is the only-publication in the mining field that gives ratings to the mines and companies. The reader is not asked'to take these ratings on faith, but' the facts on which these ratings are based are given in detail. The^publisher makes tbe usual offer of sending this book on a week's approval, fully prepaid, to any address in the world, without any advance payment. This offer has been made for six years pasr, arid the publisher states that of the many thousands of books sent out, less '* that three per cent, have been returned as unsatisfactory.
