COKING COAI FOUND
Near Granite Creek in Large
Body==Wiil be Impoatant
Factor in this Camp,
Property Now Bonded by Colorado
Capitalists Who Will Prosecute
Development Work.
A fine sample of coal, coal that cokes,
can be seen at the Hotel Tulameen. The
sample comes from the latest coal find,
at the north fork of Granite Creek, 4%
miles from the historic old town'bearing
that name. Coal was discovered several
years ago in that locality by the well
known prospector Pete Gunderson, who
was afterwards killed in Collins Gulch.
Attention was drawn to coal indications
through the agency of mountain beaver,
which in their burrowings had uncovered
coal in several places.
The property is now owned by Vancouver and Otter Valley parties Recently
a 200 foot tunnel has been run which
shows an excellent quality of coal in an
apparently large body. Tests made in
the open camp fire and in the stove show
thai it cokes readily, and of a fine clean
quality. If a good quality of coking coal
proves to exist in large bodies, it means a
big thing for the Similkameen country,
enabling an abundant supply of coke to
be had right at hand for the use of the
smelters that will be built here. The j
coal at Princeton, though an excellent
fuel and steam coal, does not coke, so far
as has been seen, and this Granite Creek
article, within such a short hauling distance of Princeton makes it possible for
a cheap supply to be had for the smelters
that will undoubtedly operate in this im
mediate vicinity, especially if the Granite
Creek coal turns out as indicated.
The Penticton Presshas quite a lengthy
article on the Tulameen district, referring to samples of high grade ore shown
in that town by Mi. Reilly. It touches
on the coal in that vicinity, a continuation of the seam found at Granite Creek,
' and saj's: "That whfch was probably of
the greatest interest however, was a large
lump of peacock coal which Mr. Reilly
had with him. Peacock coal is so named
from the colors it presents, like those of
the feathers in a peacock's tail and is
found in only two or three other places
in the world. One pound of it is said to
be equal to three pounds of the best
Crow's Nest product, and to possess su
perior coking properties."
A Colorada company has a bond on the
property and some of the principals are
now on their way here to arrange for extensive development.
THE WORST EVER.
"I know this man of old, a sillier fellow
you will scarce behold."
When Byron penned these words he
must have had the editor ofthe Gazoote in
his minds eje. If you don't believe it
just read that delightful mix-up in the
last number of the Hedley paper under
the heading, "A Cause for Perplexity,"
in which the Gazoote man tries to square
himself for publishing that false report
about grouse being put on the protected
list for three years. Puts the blame on
the Vernon News. Wonder who will get
the blame for the following gem, appearing under date of July 25, in the Gazoote: *§lfc
"With the placing of prairie chicken
and grouse of all kinds on the protected
list for a period of three years should
come an increase of bounty on coyotes.
To make provision for an increase of
winged game is to make the coyotee food
supply easier. A bounty on owls would
also help materially towards attainment
of the object for which winged game are
protected. Every owl that is killed will
save the lives of numerous grouse duriag
the course ofa year." etc.
It will be a wonder if the owls in their
owlishness don.'t hoot some after that, and
it won't be difficult to imagine what they
are saying, either Among other things
they will likely suggest that a bounty be
placed  on  the Gazoote man.
GLOOMY PROSPECTS.
Private advices received here state that
owing to the backwardness of the season
in the Northwest the wheat crop will be
somewhat of a failure. The great boom
which has attended Edmonton is said to
have collapsed, and the corporation has
been compelled to abandon all civic
work owing to the inability to dispose of
city bonds. In consequence of the gloomy
outlook people are said to be leaving in
hundreds, most of them heading for British Columbia.
HAWTHORNTHWAITE REBUKED
The noted Socialist and labor leader in
the British Parliament, at present on a
tour of Canada and the United States,
spoke to a large audience at Vancouver
last week and made a very favorable impression. Mr. Hawthorthwaite, that disgrace to Socialism in British Columbia,
was present and according to reportjmade
the usual mess of himself by 'a vicious
attack on R. G. MacphersonCM. P., calling him a humbug as well as a Liberal.
Keir Hardie gave a dramatic touch to the
incident, when after Hawthornthwaite's
speech he addressed the crowd, expressing deep regret at Hawthornthwaite's
abuse and openly rebuking the Socialist
leader for his reckless expressions.
BILL Mm ESCAP
Fr-eSgn^ Penitentiary   at   New
Westminster   on   Friday
Afternoon Last.
Noted Train Robber Makes  His Escape in Clever Manner with Other
Prisoners—Still Pree.
About as nice a looking piece of rock
as you will see in a long time is shown by
Hugh Hunter, coming from the Poulder
Mining Co.'s property on Boulder creek.
The ore runs very high in copper and
gold.
Bill Miner, the notorious train   robber
and all   round crook, has escaped  from
the   penitentiary at   New Westminster.
When Bill received his  life   sentence   a
little over s year ago, for holding up the
C. P. R. express at Ducks,   the  majority
looked upon it as   the   last   act   in   his
eventful career, firmly believing he  was
destined to live the balance of  his days
behind prison walls.    Others there were
however who maintained so long as Miner breathed the breath of life   he would
scheme and plan   to gain   his   freedom.
And he did not wait long to attempt it.
Miner, being a foxy old  rougue, took
his   confinement   quite   philosophically
and behaved himself well apparently resigned to his fate.   In this way he gained
the confidence ofthe prison keepers.   So
when last Friday he asked to be allowed
to work outside, on account of  his   feet
having become sore   from   confinement,
his request was granted and he  was  put
to work in the brickward, which is situ
ared at the rear of Ihe   prison   and   near
the northern wall.    From what   can   be
learned it   appears   Miner   and   several
other prisoners were working with  pick
and shovel, being partially obscured from
their guard by the smoke that emenated
from the engine house,   the   wind   undoubtedly favoring them   in   what   was
evidently a  well   planned   scheme.    In
this way several   of  the   prisoners were
enabled to busy themselves in excavating
under the wall unnoticed, and  disappear
one by one until some   four   had   made
good their escape.    This   was   about   4
o'clock in the afternoon.   Just how long
the guards were in discovering the escape
of their famous prisoner is   not   known,
but the   prisoners were enabled   to   get
clear.    Word from the coast this   morning states that four of the men have been
recaptured, but so far Miner is breathing
the air of freedom, but the chances are he
will be taken, as a large force   of  armed
men are on his track.
It is incomprehensible how the prison
authorities could have been led to take
such chances with such a character and
lose sight of him and his movements for
a second. An investigation will likely
be made when something sensational
may be brought to light.
LOCAL AND GENERAL.
Webb, the New Zealand sculler, has
defeated Charles Towns, Australian, iu
a rowing race for the championship of
the world.
It is probable that with the opening of
the Canadian branch of the Royal Mint
the Government made to decide to coin
a nickel penny. The nickel coin would
offord a market for the large areas of this
metal known to exist in Canada. It is
anticipated the new mint when in full
operation will turn out 16,000,000 coins
of all kinds per year.
Frank Martyn and Harry Walker, employees of the Triangle Ranch, Quilchena, were drowned in Nicola Lake on
Tuesday evening, the 6th, while out fishing.
It is stated that the next session of the
Dominion Parliament will be called for
October and that dissolution will follow
quickly and an appeal made to the country in March next.
The Le Roi mined has closed down the
ship of ore, and will remain closed until
a plentiful supply of coke is forthcoming.
The smelter has also ceased operations.
F. W. Groves, C. E., leaves this week
for Okanagan Centre to make a report on
a large irrigation scheme to be undertaking by Maddock Bros., Manitoba capitalists, who have lately acquired a large
tract of land in the Okanagan.
If the Princeton baseball team expect
to hold up their reputation at Hedley on
Labor Day, it might not be a.bad idea if
they would wake up and turn out to
practice. The time is comparatively
short and they will need all the practice
they can get in the meantime.
Prof. Arthur Lake, a noted geologist of
Denver, Col., arrived in Princeton last
week and is the guest of Mr. Ernest Waterman, resident manager of the V. F. M.
Co. Mr. Lake will spend a fortnight here
in geological research.
Chas. P. Coey, of Rockford, Wash.,
the chief bondholder of the Reco, arrived
in town yesterday and proceeded to the
mint this morning. He was accompanied
by E. S. Mendels, of New York.
Reports from Bear creek show satisfactory results being obtained by the miners tuere and the Swede groupe large
buttons of silver have been found.
Bert Thomas has in hand the work of
gravelling Bridge street, which when
finished, will be a great improvement.
TELEGRAPHERS STRIKE.
There is a general strike of telegraph
operators through the United States
which threatens to cripple business.
Word was sent out from Vancouver yesterday that all business east and to Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco would
not be received with ' any guarantee of
immediate delivery. If the strike should
continue for any length of great loss and
inconvenience will be experienced.

HON. W. J. BOWSER.
The following article copied from
the Victoria Times hits off the Hon.
Mr. Bowser to perfection and . we
give our readers the benefit of a
superb pen picture of British Columbia's new Attorney-General:
"The Colonist congratulates Hon.
W. J.  Bowser,   K.  C,  Attorney-
General, etc.,  on  his   election, and
expressed the hope that official  residence in the capital will prove  so
pleasant to the hon. getleman  that
he may  be  induced  to take up his
permanent abode here     If our contemporary had read the speeches of
Hon. Mr. Bowser, it would under-
stand how vain is the   hope   it   so
guilelessly   expressed.       The   Attorney-General has expressly stated
that he has no intention of residing
in Victoria.    He is not even going
to administer his department from
the   Government   buildings.     The
fact ofthe matter is the field here is
too narrow altogether for a man ot
Mr. Bowser's   tremendous  intellectual expausiveness.    Like the great
general whose poses he imitates and
whose  physical   conformation  and
contour he believes he has been endowed by nature with, Mr. Bowser
is a very ambitious man.. He thinks
he was designed by the  Creator  of
the universe to be a  leader  of   the
comparatively   puny   human   creatures by whom   he   is   surrounded.
He says Vancouver  is  destined  to
become one of the chief, if not   the
chief, of the cities of Canada.   What
that means when  we  consider  the
future that has been prophesied for
Canada the  public only  dimly realizes.    But if  Vancouver were  to
lose Mr. Bowser would she  not  be
shorn of her greatest glory?    What
would the park be if the splendor of
Mr. Bowser did not shed its   glory
through the trees and bring the joy
which it revealed in their countenances to the hearts  of the  animals
confined therein?    Is it not the  effulgence whirh radiates   from    Mr.
Bowser that causes the sun   to hide
his face for   so   many  days   in   the
year and the gentle rain to fall from
the sympathetic clouds?   Evidently
the Colonist does not know what it
is talking   about when   it  suggests
the possibility of Mr.   Bowser  forsaking Vancouver and joining his
personal and political fortunes with
such an insignificant   place  as Victoria.    We  know   him   better,  be
cause we have been fascinated by
the genius of his commanding personalty and overcome by the witchery of his vociferous eloquence.
Victoria is said to have captured
the Premier and we know it has
overcome the Finance Minister.
But then these two are mere men,
handicapped by the weaknesses of
men, while Mr. Bowser—is Mr.
Bowser.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Nicola Herald of Aug. 2nd
says "the Hon. H. L- Borden will
tour British Columbia from September 24th to Oct. ist. He will visit
Nicola Valle}7 during his trip west."
We suppose the Herald is referring
to R. L- Borden, leader of the Dominion Conservative party, who intends making an extended political
tour of Canada to personally acquaint himself with existing condi-.
tions and smile upon the ballot
markers with the hope of being
placed in power at the next Dominion elections. Vain are the hopes
of some men.

Vaccination for Blackleg and An-
thrax in Cattle.
The disease known as blackleg in cattle, although entirely unknown in many
extensive agricultural sections of Cans da
and not at all widespread in any district
or province, annually causes quite extensive losses to cattle raisers. Anthrax;
which is quite a different disea^e, although frequently confused with black
leg in the minds of cattle raisers, is also
the cause of serious loss of stock. The
former disease is almost entirely confined
to cattle under three years and is generally fatal. The latter attacks other classes
of farm animals and the human subject is
not exempt from its infection which generally results seriously.
By the aid of science cattle raisers are
now enabled to protect theii stock against
these maladies.    As the human family is
vaccinated against smallpox, in the same
.manner cattle are rendered immune from
blackleg and anthrax.    The Department
of Agriculture at Ottawa, through   the
health of animals branch, is now in a position to supply preventive   vaccine   for
each of these diseases at the nominal cost
of five cents per dose.    Until recently, b\
special arrangement with extensive manufactures in the United States, these products were secured at a reduced cost and
were placed in the   hands   of   Canadian
cattle raisers at ten  cents   per   dose   foi
blackleg vaccine and fourteen 'cents  per
dose for anthrax vaccine.    It   is   due   t
the fact that ihese prepara: ions are  now
being made at the  biological  laboratory
in connection with the health of animal;-
branch that they can be supplied  at  five
cents per dcs.-.
The vaccine for blackleg may be administered by any intelligent person by
means of an instrument supplied by tht
Department at fifty cents. Anthrax vac
cine, which is also supplied at five cent
per dose, is more difficult to administe
requiring a qualified veterinarian to trea:
an animal.
Cattle raisers who have fear of an attack of either blackleg or anthrax would
do well to apply to the Veterinary Director General at Ottawa for the proper preventive treatment.

NICOLA GOAL ON MARKET.
The World says that Vancouver may
look for some relief of the coal situation
to the newly opened Nicola coal fields,
and the news is being thankfully received
by Vancouver householders. The C.P.R.
is building a spur into the mines and expect to have it completed in two months
when shipping to Vancouver will be
commenced. A unique and great advantage the mine posses is the fact that the
coal can be mined entirely by gravitation. The tunnel slopes upward from
the mouth. At present there is only the
one through which coal ie being taken
out, but another will meet it at right
I angles, and if the mine should become
I wet, water also will run out by gravitation without the application of any power. As a result of such advantages the
coal of this company can be mined for a
dollar a ton.
