Large Capital not Required. Unlike Others in B. C. these Mines can be Opened at Small Cost, The general impression prevailing that it takes vast sums of money to develop the gold and copper properties of British Columbia before they can be put on a paying basis has been entirely exploded, at least so far as the mining district of the Similkameen is concerned, says a late Grand Forks despatch It is only neces sary to substantiate this statement to refer to the fact that on the Sunnyside Mineral claim, which has furnished a very great portion of the ore that has gone through the stamos of the Daly Reduction Works and Company's mill at Hedley during the past two years, there is no shaft or hole deeper than 30 or 40 feet, the ore being quarried from a surface glory hole. Mining in the Similkameen dates back to the placer days, when considerable gold was taken out with rockers and the stream platinum which accompanied the gold was thrown away as valueless Most of the placer digging were found at. Princeton and Granite creek, but while the placer diggings themselves were soon worked out, they pointed the way to the rich harvest of lode mining which was to follow, and which is alreadv being gath- :red in at Hedley fiom the stopes and ;lory holes of the Nickel Plate and iunnyride The points on the Similkameen where valuable deposits are known to exist are at Copper and Kennedy mountains, One Mile creek and Five Mile creek on the upper Similkameen, at Hedley, and in the mountain range between Twenty Mfle and Keremeos creeks in the middle Similkameen and at Keremeos and Shuswap creek in the lower Similkameen. Copper mountain is known from develop ment work done on the Sunset group bv the B. C. Copper Company, ami in Voight's camp, done by Emil F. Voight for himself and associates in Tacoma. The operations of the B C. Copper com- pany were carried on exclusively under a bond which the37 had from the owners for about a year, when a disagreement as to some of ihe details relaf'ng to what claims should pass to the purchasers caused a cessation of the work. Much g? the work done by the B. C. Copper Com pany was by diamond diil , and as the holders of^the bond in all probability retain the cores, so that the results do not appear, this circumstance doubtless had much to do with preventing an understanding being arrived at between the parties The excellent character of the ore on CopperiH">utitain and the apparent quantities as shown both on the Sunset Ejroup and from the extensive surface prospecting carried on by Mr, Voight leave no doubt as to the bona fides of the camp as a field for mining operations. Separate and Distinct from Others- Rights of Laborers can Only be Obtained by Own Party. Editor Star—Sir: The one prominent, outstanding fact resulting from the recent elections is the annihilation of any effectual opposition to the Conservative government at Victoria. Returned bv a much larger majority than anticipated by the most speculative party po- phet the strength of the Conservatives is almost as great a surprise to themselves as to the Liberals While all are Liberals sent from this province to Otlaw.a, this standing is almost reversed in the over whelming majority of Conservatives sent to Victoria. From whence, then, did this hidden power emanate which defaced the Liberals and paralyzed the Socialists by reducing their representation a third? What was the cause of so great a revolution in public sentiment? The answer is, that the greatest political machine of modern days has been discovered. The unseen hand of a great railway monopoly has been stealthily at work .since last general elections in 1903 setting-the trap which would catch that unwary and somewhat ^uncertain animal, the elector Agents of the C P.R have now to combine political advantage with their other duties of collecting high tariffs and recruiting for the government. With ninety-nine per cent, of the influ? ential positions on the C.P.R. occupied by staunch Conservatives the matter of 'making Tories out of the thousands of workingmen who serve under these ofH cials was only a question of mere detail. Free passes, and no doubt money too, were responsible for many voters being "landed" for Conservative c mdidates Premier McBride himself and party owe a heavy debt to the C P R. for free transportation. No Liberal or Socialist candidates received any sue h favors. It is not fair nor honorable to show partiality among the patrons of the C.P.R. which has received in free gifts of land and monev a total of $100,000,000 from the people of Canada, besides lesser do- nat'o'is of land and immunity from taxes from this province amounting to several millions of dollars. It has always had its ruthless hand on the throats of the people and maintains a corps of lobbyists for corrupting legislatures. It strained every muscle to prevent the V., V. & E. from building into the Simiikameen and now it lays at its feet a legislature which is bound, as we have seen, to serve its monopolistic purposes. This huge octopus, which stretches its tentacles over land and sea to the farther ends of earth is absolute dictator of the prfivin- cial political fortunes or misfortunes of B.C It can have for the asking the remaining crown lands of the province as (Continued on page 3.) CONSERVATIVES WIN McBride Government Sustained with Increased Following:. The result of the Provincial general elections held on Saturday, Feb. 2nd, proved a decisive victory for the Conservative party and they are returned to power with a much larger majority than in 1903 and will be entirely independent of the Socialists this term. Some interesting and altogether unexpected turnovers took place on bo!h sides the most note wo: thy of which was Victoria city, where four Conserxatives were returned in place of four Liberal.'. In the Similkameen L. W. Shatford was again relurmd but his majority in several places was greatlv reduced and in some instances entirely wiped out. In Princeton it was cut down fiom 25 in 1903 to 4. showing the ch nge of feeling here against him The standing in the next Legislature will probably be 30 Conservatives, 10 Liberals, 2 Socialists. STEEL LAID BEYOND OROVILLE. The tracklaying crew crossed the Okanagan river into the first of the week, says the Oroville Gazette, the bridge across that stream having been finished. The track has been laid through town and to the bridge across the Similkameen river, two miles above town. That part of the work done, the crew has returned and will lay track in the yards here. The Similkameen bridge is one of the heaviest structures < f its kind on the road, and the.track was-laid to 'hat point for the transportation of materials while the bridge is in course of construction. The road cr sses the river where- the stream itins through a deep gorge, and while the bridge will not be a long one, it will be in the neighborhood of too feet high: The ballasting crew is working near town, and although no confirmation of the report can be obtained, it is stated bv those likely to know that a train service will be inaugurated about the end of Febi nary. Chief Engineer Kennedy left Sunday for the Similkameen. LOCAL AND GENERAL Rev. D. J. Macdonald, B. A , lately "from Crossfield, Alberta, formerly of Point Priui, P.EI., arrived in town Wed nesday afternoon. Mi.- Macdonald comes under the auspices of the Home Mission Board of the Presbyterian Church to take charge of the work in Princeton ar.d Hedley, and .will preach in the Court House in Princeton Sunday evening ai 7:30 o'clock. Chinese new year will be usheied in on Tuesday next when the natives of the Flowery Kingdom will make merry and do battle with the evil one for a few days D. O.

Owing to Okanogan Lake being frozen up, the C.P.R. have pulled off the ss. Aberdeen for a month and the m^ils aie coming in by way of Midway. If the weather continus to moderate the laki will be open before long. Word was received last week from Mi. Robert Stevenson in Spokane stating that he was suffering from pneumonia and that his life was hanging in the ■ balance. His many friends in Princeton wish him a speedy recovery. Timothy Eeaton, head of the T. Eaton Co. Limited, one of the best known merchants in the world, died sudden y at his home on the morning of Jan 3r»L For the past few week Mr. Haton had not been feeling well, but his- death w;.s njt expected by his friends. AN ELECTION BET. People will bet on elections and they must be prepared to stand the consequences. In most of ea.ses the winner is the man that wears the smile and it seems only right that he should do so. But there is an exception to all rules aud on Thursday afternoon the people of Princeton were made witnesses to this" fact. Two of the most prominent merchants of the town, one a Conservative and the other a Liberal, gamble.! on the result of the election in this riding to the extent that the loser was to pay his debt by- pushing a wheelbarrow up the main street carrying the lucky winner. As the hour set for the event drew nigh. Bridge street was well lined with spectators waiting to see the fun and fun they got. Shortly after 2 by the clock the 'barrrow procession got under way and was doing nicely until near the Great Northern Hotel, when the crowd decidtd to take a hand in the game. A shower, of snowballs unseated the man perched on the wheelbarrow and landed him in ihe snow where he pi. ved a good target for the shots that were poured in w on him. With , snowballs in his whiskers,, snowballs in his hair, snowballs in his: trousers and snowballs evetvwhere, this staunch believer in Conservatism realized that he was up against it and wisely decided to r.t treat and sei k shelter in the whellbarrovv and the ride continued without fuithtr mishap. The man that lost the bet smiled a broadly smile but the other fellow smiled the other way. A regular spring thaw has se{ in and if it continues for a few days the snow will.: rapidly disappear.

T\be result of the Provincial general election^ held on Saturday-, February, proved a de.isive v ctoty for the McBride Government, and clearly demonstrates that the majority of tbe electors of this Province are willing to be dominated over by the C. P. R. and such combinations as the Anderson gang. If the past three ye.irs of McBride rule can be taken as an evidence of what will follow in the next four, under his leadership, British Col umbia will prove a profitable field for self-seeking corporations ann adventurers. According to reports to hand at time of writing the Conservatives have carried 28 seats, the Liberals 10 and the Socialists 2. The Conservatives have gained 9 seats— Chilliwack, Cowichan, Islands, Saanich, and the four seats in Victoria. They lost Nelson, Esqui- malt and Grand Forks, the latter going Socialist. The Liberals on the other hand have lost 9 .seats and gained 3—Esquimalt, Nelson and Newcastle. Tie Socialists will have only two members in the new House, one less than in 1903. They had 19 candidates in the fielt/ and the straight labor party had 6 men running, all of whom were defeated. The two constituencies of Alberni and Skeena are still in doubt, but will probably go Conservative, making the new Legislature line up Conservatives. 30 ; Liberals, 10; Socialists, 2. The iast House consisted of 23 Conservatives, 16 Liberals and 3 Socialists. The city of Victoria completely reversed the order of affairs there by electing four McBride supporters in place of the four retiring Liberals. The change there is accountable by the fact that the C. P. R. had promised to spend some $15,- 000,000 on Vancouver Island in the near future, and they no doui t had some of it in circulation previous to the election. The result in Vancouver comes as a surprise, especially in view of the fact that the C. P. R. have been doing everything in their power to prevent cotrpetive railways from entering that city. It was reason- the Terminal City would show their disapproval of this kind of thing and oppose the C. P. R. McBride candidates. Just what it cost to ele^t the "solid five" will probably remain a secret. Ex-Attorney-General Wilson was hopelessly snowed under in Cariboo and C. A. Semlin received the same treatment in West Yale. C. E. Pooley, Speaker in the last House, was defeated in Esquimau by a younger and more progressive man, John Jardine, Liberal. Mr. Pooley had represented Esquimalt so long th.it it was thought impos sible to defeat hirn, but evidently the peopie saw the advisability of a change. Iti Rossland, tbe Conservatives, assisted by the Socialists, left no stone unturned to defeat Mr. J. A. Macdonald, the Liberal leader, and the electors of that city are to be congratulated on the grand majority they gave Mr. Macdonald. John Oliver, that staunch champion" of the people and the man who was chiefly responsible for unearthing many of the McBride Government's unsavory acts, has again been returned for Dilta, and enjoys the distinction of being the only Liberal elected in the lower mainland. So long as such men as Mr. Macdonald and Mr. Oliver (are in the Legislature the people can rest assured that their interests will be well guarded, even though these gentlemen sit in opposition. In our own constituency the electors have again returned L- W. Shatford at the head of the Doll. Smith Curtis, the Liberal candidate has nothing to be ashamed of, although he was defeated. He fought a clean fight, and considering the odds against htm he made an excellent showing. The Liberals in Princeton particularly have every cause to congratulate themselves on the grandstand they made and had the other portions of the riding worked as hard and systematically as they did, there would have been a different tale to tell. The Star believed and still believes that Mr. Curtis would have been the better man to represent us at Victoria, even though he were in Opposition. Mr. Shatford has made numerous promises as to what he intends to do for Princeton, and it is to be hoped he will be more successful in carrying them out in the future than he has been in the past. pushed his claims then. Now comes his chance The Conserva tives have been returned by a large majority and the editor-politician will be perfectly safe in declaring -himself. Carter Cotton is a man of ability and it is not strange that he chafes under McBride's leadership, when it is known that he holds him in perfect contempt. Mr. Cotton also knows the Premier tried to knife him in the recent election and he will not soon forget it. Whether Mr. Cotton will have a following sufficiently large to accomplish his purpose remains to be seen. Messrs Tatlow, Fulton, Macgowan aud their friends will more than likely follow him, and push McBride to the wall if possible. Some warm times can be looked forward to in he Conservative camp, for, like a oand of robbers sure of their spoils, ind intoxicated with their measure of success, they will fall on one another and struggle for supremacy.

BELL GENERA MERCHANT, I rinceton ■m '•■. February 9, 1907 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR NEW POLITICAL PARTY. Concluded from page i. well as shirk payment of taxes. Workingmen, like myself, are assessed at full value for land they own while coal lands held by companies are assessed at half the price the government charges. Trusts, corporations and monopolies are favored by the government, while the last "bean" is extorted from the individual poor man—the rich made richer and the poor kept poor. What is the remedy ? Owing to their uumerical superiority I believe it is possible in British Columbia to attain the rights of farmers, miners, tradesmen and workingmen generally if they will unite under one common banner and work with even half the zeal of the aforesaid railway officials from now unlil the next genceral elections. That banner would have the honorable and significant term, " Labor," emblazoned upon it, the principles of which are embodied in ' all honest labor, are self- evident, and would include the bone and sinew, the manual and brain workers of the province. The intrinsic and political meaning of the word stands as the basis and fundamental principle of all progress and prosperity. Under this banner Socialist, Liberal and Conservative workingmen could join hands in removing those monstrous inequalities which hinder and discourage the laborer from entering into full possession of his rights as a citizen and a subject of what is supposed to be a free country. Canada throws wide the door to all nationalities, giving to all impartial treatment, and especially welcomes the in dustrious workingman. Let us see that he is not driven away by graft, extortion and unequal taxation by the provincial legislature. Fellow workers throw away the political parties to which you have held allegiance in provincial politics and enroll in the new political party. Liberty, and freedom from the curse of domineering corporations must come from the union of workingmen. If successful in provincial politics the scope of a Labor party could be extended to the broader field of Dominion affairs. Meanwhile a convention aud the choice of a leader is in order. As a basis on which to begin, the following summary of what Labor stands for is submitted 1 for consideration. When Labor has risen to the dignity of a political party it will formulate a comprehensive platform : Eight-hour day forall workers, it being the equal and natural division of time. Equal taxation. Reduction of members of legislature to twenty-one, paying them $2,500 per annum Ministers' salaries $6,500 pearly For violation of oath of office or collusion with grafters, imprisonment for life or shot as a traitoi to his country. Confiscation of all lands unduly acquired by railway or other companies or individuals in the past. State education, school books at cost and teachers paid according to ability. Provincial police to be trained, physically capable and enforce the laws without fear or favor. Abolish the saloon and all drinking bars. Licensed hotels to sell liquors in specified quantities only. Licenses unrestricted in number. State-owned mines; conservancy of forests and better protection of fish and game. Cheap money on loan to settlers and the industrious poor generally. The land for the people and people for the land—vigorous immigration policy. A non-partizan civil service—appointments last during good conduct and competence—age limit 60 ; pensions. The foregoing, Mr. Editor, is a crude presentation of what a Labor party would advocate and also the reasons for calling into life and activity of a party which would represent the masses as opposed to class and corporation interests.
