PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUUST J4, 1907. $2 a Year, in Advance ■ ^% 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. mv rngtrmmw August 14, 1907 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR August 14, 1907 The Similkameen Star B.

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.

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.

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. S\ \0 ^H THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR August 14, 1907 TIMBER NOTICES. YALE LAND DISTRICT. District of Yai,b, B. C.
