PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1906. $2 a Year, in Advance ATTACK BOTH ENDS Construction Begins at Cloverdale Eastward to the Hope Range. Bail Head is Said to be at MoIsoil —Strenuous Railroad Building >. to Portland. From authentic sources it is learned that work has begun on the V., V. & E. from Cloverdale east. The importance of this statement may be realized in the fact that* construction from both ends of the route means a great saving of time in the completion of the road. President Hill made the announcement last summer at Winnipeg that he would have the semi-transcontinental line from that city to the coast built before any other line and that means he must attack from both ends. The beginning at Cloverdale is welcome news. The concentration of Mr. Hill's construction forces on the Portland-Seattle line, in his fight with Harriman, has, no doubt, affected progress on the V., V. & E;, but the critical point in the battle will soon be over and more attention to the work here will follow. F. H. Mann came in on Wednesday's . stage from Midway and went but £o Mil liken's survey camp, where he will be transitman. Latest advices state that steel has been laid to Molson. There is a shortage of spikers but better progress is expected to be made to Oroville. In the event of the Similkameen route being selected the'first contract to be let will consist of about 50 miles of expensive tote road for hauling supplies over. LOCAL NEWS NOTES. Pete Swanson and L. A. Manly returned on Sunday from their trip to the Similkameen. They expressed the belief that Princeton, with its abundant natural resources and favorable location, will be the future"''city in the Similicameen.—! Midway Star. Robert Stevenson, the pioneer prospector and explorer of the Similkameen, has been suffering from the kick of' a colt on the lumbar region of his back and is scarcely* "able 'tJ5,'move' about. '"But for a sound constitntion",JMr. Stevenson, who is nearing the proverbial span of life, would not be able to still search the hills for the eqer-alluring metait'^^oNyteye^, when the railroad comes his numerous friends hope to find his permanent ad-f Mress on Easy "street .'? H. P. Christie,, assistant commissioner lands and works, Ashcroft, arrived in Similkameen being one, and is now making tBe*BVst visit in connection with his rfew duty. He left for' Otter Valley on Tuesday, from there going on to Nicola flidf home^lffftS?'- He was accompanied by Mrs. Christie. ^J?rO. Coultbafrd is expected to arrive todaty on Nrcola stage. The.Bfinceton brewery has begun the manufacture of beer and is supplying local orderST J7 M. Sharp! from near Loomis, is in towBj on a short visit. Mr. Sharp was fbrtrjertya resident of the Similkameen at Olalla. |||Ji$$ The intimation that a printer-journalist would arrive last Saturday to work on the Star proved to be premature. Whoever the gentleman may be he is expected to arrive today. The present incumbent therefore bids him a cordial welcome. Mr. Brown, lawyer from Vernon, was in town this week on legal business. Public worship tomorrow at the usual hours conducted by-Rev. E. D. Smith THE TULAMEEN HOTEL. ' The Tulameen ho el, erected by Geo. McCoskery and brother duringthe past summer, is soon to be opened to the public. The building has good accom modation for commercial men and the travelling public geuerally. The proprietor's have shown by their enterprise' <!hatthey have no doubt of the progress of Princeton While the large and comfortable accommodation it affords may be slightly in excess of present demands there is warrant for it ih the bright prospects of irfcTea^ecl business in the near future. George needs no introduction to the public, being an old hotel man in the Similkameen, and is well and favorably known. ..Jjfie date of opening will be announced by advertisement. Princeton last Friday. He has been appointed assessor for six divisions, the [ as opposed tQ a do-nothing policy. FRIENDLY RELATIONS. The Spokesman-Review commenting on the'recent visit of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce tg/th'e Boundary'says : "That closer commercial union between Spokane and B C. will result from the tvlsit-of the Spokane business men to the 'rich country acrp'ss the boundary line is a perfectly natural and reasonable sup position. This peisonal intercourse will tend to make stronger the friendly business relations which tiav'e' heretofore ex- rstSoV; The1* western enterprise which is f&sc&rng of Spokane a great city is in hearty and sincere sympathy with the spirit which is^inaking of the adjacent countnji,$tie' of the greatest mineral producing regions of the -American conti-j nent." Shl&e, cousiri", shake ! We want your wide-awake men to come to Princeton and give poffiters oh ho«v,,{o build up a'town. We Wtoft your friendship and your capital. Above all we want you1 to impart' that spirit which does things MINES AND MINERALS Mining Industry and Mineral Resources Need Capital to Develop. Season was Fruitful in Discovery and Only Fringe of Similkameen Yet Touched. Specimens of ore from Champion and Eagle creeks, recently shown, contain gold, silver and platinum. This section of countryHte thought to be the source of the placers on the Tulameen river. It presents a fine field for close prospecting which will, no doubt, well repay those in search of high grade propositions. W. C. McDougall is sinking on the United Empire in expectation of stfik ing the main ore body. The U.E. is a vast proposition and Mr. ^McDougall is energetically pushing the primary stages of development on it so that shipping may begin as soon as expected facilities may offer. T. A. Connolly came down from Otter Flat last week on his way to Nighthawk where he expects to be mining this win- -feK : He has done a lot of development and explorative-work this season on his mineral properties. Like many other owners he is waiting for transportation to enable him to ship. Joe Fitzharris has finished the summer's work on his mining claims above ©£f?er Flat and left for the coast last week where he expects to put in the winter. Joe has proved his mining properties to be of undoubtedly rich ore, lacking the one essential—a railroad—to make them revenue producing. Robert Stinson left about a week ago for'Mt. Pleasant, aJ-s\iburb of Vancouver, which address he expecis to adopt for the next six months. He has valuable interests in mineral claims on Copper mountain arid is patiently waiting for the V.,V. & E'.'Vd bring about that general deveTBp^fftfSnt and progress of the mining-industry which is sure to follow. •When next Mr. Stinson comes to Princeton he hopes to ride behind one of Jim Hill's "fiery steeds." Messrs. French, Day and Tway exhibit 'scfrrie fine specitnens of galena which th%3?€ilcTiv^red'while prospecting in the Skagit country recently. They struck a 40-foot lead of it which could be traced considerable distance. The- distance from transportation is too great to make locations. The largest gold nuggets ever found were the Welcome and Welcome Stranger. The 'first, weighing 2,217 onnces, was found in Ballarat, Victoria ; and the second, 2,268 ounces in! weight, was found at Dunnolly, Victoria, in 1869. In both cases the fortunate finder nett $40,000 bv one turn of the^pt^K. C. F. Law, the^wSTl known Bear creek mining niaffl has recently installed a boile: and hoisting gear on the St. George and Liverpool group and is also erecting bunk and cook houses. Extensive development work will be carried on.this winter. Wages earned in the mining industry for the month of August in the Boundary reached the record total of $215,000. The Dominion Copper Co. has nearly 400 men in its employ. PERSEVERANDO VINCIT. E. F. Voigt, of Voigt's camp, Copper mountain, is proceeding wittt development of some of his mining properties and has engaged practical miners for that purpose. It is understood that Mr. Voigt will tap his large ore bodies by a tunnel driven from the Similkameen river. This would give him immense advantage over a shaft and the comparatively more expensive mode ot hoisting ore through it. The tunnel, it is thought, will be in ore for the greater part of a mile and will help, if not altogether, pay for itself with the output. Development On a large scaleTisjalmost'prohibited unftl the arrival:of the railroad and the cheapening of freight on heavy machinery. Mr. Voigt has stayed with Copper mountain for some seven years and expended a fortune in the camp. His undaunted perseverance amid the opposing forces of nature and humanity is deserving of success, which no one will begrudge. The undoubted merit of some of the copper- gold properties in Voigt's camp has been vouched for by experts and others; and as:with;Uie whole of iGopperihnountain, a smelter is all that is required to prove them wealth producing. . ASLEEP SIX YEARS. Illustrative of the great tenacity of life with which frogs are'endowed one of these croakers has recently come Back to activeiiliie after being in a statcofjeoma for nigh four months. His habit for the last three springs has been to take up residence in the cool shade under the 'piazza' of the Star office. Frogs must have moisture to enable them to toddle around, lacking- this oun.jbatrachian friend took a snooze in the beginning of the recent great drouth from which he did not awaken for over three months. It took several rain showers to bring him "to" but now he bobs up every afternoon with a low, guttural song, which with the buzz: of the bee and the fizz of the flea, make things quite lively around the fixed Star. Yes, a railroad is needed at once to put an end to the six years' snooze of trie toadies and the f(t)ogies.

EFFECTS OF ADVERTISING. The proved beneficial results from judicious advertising by the Dominion government in attracting multitudes of first class immigrants to Canada is well worth a trial by townsite companies, who, it is supposed, wish to attract people to invest in their real estate property. •Whether from motives of economy. ,spite, indifference, or out of pure ignorance, recently it has been noted that a moribund c ombination in Princeton has ceased advertising in the Star. To say the least, such a step reflects unfavorably on the enterprise and business calibre of the managerial and directorial outfit here. It also does an injustice and injury to those who have bought property here on the glowing invitations held out in the advertisement formerly running in this paper. However rich a town or country may be in natural resources it is possible to seriously retard its development by a picayune policy similar to that instanced above. Had it not been for liberal advertising by the Dominion government the west would still have been a great lone land. The following from Canada's greatest journal is to the point : " It is gradually dawning on our friends south of the line that Canada is potentially another United States, and that at the end of the : century there may be as great a population in the Dominion as there is in the republic today. The methods adopted by the L,aurier government to attract settlers are praised unreservedly by American experts who have been looking into the question of the rapid settlement of the Canadian west. Wilbur G. Miller, a Washington journalist, who has been touring in the west, says in the Editor and Publisher that " Canada is undergoing a transformation. Printer's ink is the lever by which the work is being accomplished. Every portion of the Dominion from coast to coast and from the 49th to almost the 52nd parallel is throbbing with a vitality that promises to make it a counterpart of the United States. Of course there have been prosperous cities., rich agricultural lands, abundant forests and minerals, splendid climate, great irailroads, big game, and magnificent scenery. Some of these have beenin^exist- ence for centuries. It remained, however, for an enterprising Government to utilize the dominant force in civilization to bring to public notice the great resources of an empire. Well is the work being done, for no other country on the face of the globe is receiving the advertising that Canada is getting. No other government than the one to the north of us has ever before adopted such a policy of publicity; nor has any corporation before operated a plan of land exploitation so untiringly, effectively and elaborately." When the Tories sullenly criticize the Liberal immigration policy, and declare that primarily the credit for the opening up of the west must go to the party that completed the first Canadian transcontinental, the obvious answer is that the Canadian Pacific railway was in operation for over ten years before 1896, and that printers' ink is bringing more people into the Canadian west every two years than the Tory Immigration department brought in between 1885 and 1896." Advertising has undoubtedly been the mightiest agency in western development and it is false economy and shallow policy for a townsite company to withdraw its advertisement from the local paper. The spirit of the age is publicity. Every progressive town has its newspaper and is patronized by live townsite people. Dry rot has surely set in when a townsite company orders its advertisement to stop. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Lord Strathcona has predicted that Canada will have a population of 80,000,000 before the close of the twentieth century. There are young Canadians who will live long enough to see whether the prophecy is likely to be fulfilled. Its fulfilment would not be more wonderful than the developments that have made up the history of Canada in the 86 years of Lord Strathcona's busy life. If the prediction had been made in 1820 that the little struggling colonies of Upper and Lower Canada would develop into a Dominion stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and that the supposed frozen wastes of the Northwest would be gridironed with railways and would be attracting settlers from all parts of the world, it would have been .considered quite as sanguine a forecast as the prediction which Lord Strathcona has made.
