MINING NEWS
i     BRIEFLY TOLD
Butte Mining Expert Looking
Over the Ground in this
District.
THE GAME ACT.
A Busy Time in the Mines is Looked
for Next Year—Development
Work Going on.
■ Although there is nothing startling to
report in the minging line this week, it
is satisfactory to know that development
work is going on at the different camps
with highly pleasing results. The mines
are being put in such shape that when
the railway does come shipping can commence almost immediately. Prospecting
also continues and good finds are being
•made. With winter coming on the
search will of course drop off, to be re:
newed again in the spring.
Fred. T. Greene, a mining expert from
Butte, Mont., arrived in town last Sun
day and is spending the week investigat
ing the mining possibilities in this lo
cality. He represents men of millions
who are anxious to invest here if things
are favorable. Mr. Greene evidently is a
top notcher in his line, and is ?oing
about his business is a quiet, unassuming
manner. It is his intention to return in
tbe spring and continue his work. If
his reports are favorable unlimited money
will come in. Next to railway communication, mbney is what is required to
prove the Similkameen the richest mineral belt in the Province. Mr. Prank
Bailie, who is well acquainted with the
lay of the land, is piloting Mr. Greene
around.
Jim Snowdon and Dave Day have returned from Copper mountain, where
they have been busy doing assessment
and development work. They brought
back samples of copper oie taken
from the Oriole, running #9.16 in copper
and gold. Of this they have a clear 100
foot lead.
Sam Spencer and Robt. Stevenson are
in from the Hope Summit and report
satisfactory results from work done there.
Nels. Johnson and John Holn, who left
here a short time ago for Spokane, have
returned, and after purchasing supplies
proceeded to Bear Creek where they have
a group of valuable clairhs. It is understood they intend pushing development
work this winter.
J. M. Wright and C. O. French returned on Friday from Granite Creek,
where they have\been doing assessment
work on the Star and examining the
Lucky Boy and Spokane.   They report a
Evidently Mot Understood—Strict Enforcement Needed to Prevent Game
Being Exterminated.
That part of the game act relating to
the close season for mountain sheep does
seems to generally understood and to
make it clear the following quotations
from the Game Act are made: "Deer,
mountain goat, mountain sheep (ram)
may be shot in October, November and
part of December." BUT—there's always a but buttiug in—by order-in-Coun-
cil a close season is declared in certain
districts, and that certain district is "all
that portion of the Province to the south
of the Canadian Pacific Railway from the
coait as far east as the Columbia river,
from Revelstoke to the International
boundary." Indians are subject to this
law as well as the whites.
While on this question it would be interesting to know What the game warden
for this district is doing (if there is such
an officer). It seems to be pretty well
known that the Indians are killing the
sheep right along. Not only Ihis but
that trappers are simply slaughtering all
kinds of game and fish in and out "of
season for baiting purposes. If this is allowed to continue unceecked it will not
be many years before our forests and
streams are depleted of their wild and
festive inhabitants.
Chas. Wilson, of Greenwood, representing the Pat Burns Co., visited Princeton
this week. Mr. Wilson took a trip up to
Boulder Creek where he has a likely
bunch of claims, and as soon as the railway is open for business they will be
developed.
Mr. A. Bell, general merchant, is erect-
a building 24x40 on Vermillion avenue
near Bridge street, to be used for a store,
his present premises proving to small for
his growing businesss. The building
will be two stories high and wi.l add to
the appearance of Vermillion avenue.
Messrs. French and Day have a rich
bunch of claims on Copper mountain.
They also have a piece of ground right in
town that is assaying abormally high in
tubers, commonly called spuds. This
piece of ground was planted with little
baby spuds on June nth, and received
very little attention or inducement to
grow up and do well, in the way of cultivation. In spite of this they took a
liking to mother earth and have grown
up to be gians, tipping the scales at
\% lbs. each in a good rn^ny instances
They would take first plajee^?1, any exhibition. \

FIRE FIGHTERS §
1      AT PRACTICE
Princeton Fire   Brigade Have
Exciting Run  on Monday  Night.
With a Little More Practice Chief
Campbell Will Have a Fast Lot
of Firemen.
LOCAL NEWS NOTES.
The first practice of the Princeton Volunteer Fire Brigade since the new hall
was built, some three months ago, was
held on. Monday night. The alarm (the
excuse for which was a hot bunch of fire
doing business with a pyramid of old
boxes, straw, etc., at the south end of
Vermillion avenue near the brewery—a
real nice place for a fire to open up)
was' turned in by Captain Summers
thumping the triangle suspended from a
pole at the fire station, until it was blacic
in the face.
Under Chief John Campbell the brigade
got off in fine style, and continued to do
nicely until their supply of wind gave
out and breaths came in short pants.
But being true sports they were determined to do or die no matter how painful.
On finally reaching the scene of the fire
it was discovered that the element mostly
used for washing purposes and extinguishing fires—water—had not been provided for, and the brewery being closed,
it was decided to return to quarters and
thirik it over. Here they were met by
Trainer Ed. Grrham and escorted to the
Hotel Jackson where they were ban-
quetted, and a pleasant time spent. The,
b'hoys were "treated" so well that they
threaten to turn out again most any
time.
SPARKS.
Geo. Wardle made such a fine showing
that he has been promoted to keep cases
on the water wagon.
C. Thomas looks well doing the push
act.    ,
Neil Houston is there all the time.
J. Oswald Coulthard is an artist striking matches. In recognition of his services he has been elected a life member
of the brigade.
It has been decided to send a hose reel
team to compete at the world's fair at
Seattle in 1907.
Any cne contemplating having a fire
will please notify the Chief a few days
ahead so he can gather up his men.
Hugh Hunter, Government Agent, is
enjoying a two weeks' holiday, the first
in several years. He left on Wednesday
on trip to Otter Flat and before returning
will visit all the mining camps in that
section.

CANADA'S    MINERAL
DUCTION.
PRO-
(News-Advertiser).
As the leading raining  Province
in the Dominion, any facts relating
to the mineral production  of Can
ada must be of interest to  the peo
pie of British  Columbia.    A   brief
resume of the report  issued  by the
Geological survey of   the   mineral
production of Canada for the year
1905 will, therefore, not be without
interest.    From the report   it   appears that the total value of all the
minerals mined in Canada for the
past year  was $68,574,707.    This
total is the largest in the history of
the country and   is   a   satisfactory
proof that mining in common with
our other great industries  is progressing.    In 1901 the value of the
minerals was $66,399,158, the highest value attained  until surpassed
by that of last year.    From   1901
there was a gradual  decline   until
1904, when   the   output  was only
$60,073,879.    Last year's  production shows, therefore, a  veiy substantial  advance of  over   14   per
cent., a satisfactory proof of the development of our mineral resources.
Up to 1901 there bad   been  a continuous increase from the year 1866,
when the  value  was $10,291,253.
This had grown  to $20,648,694 in
1895, and to $61,618,268  in   1900.
These figures prove that no branch
of industry can show more satisfac
tory signs of progress.    More than
this the growth is likely  to   continue in   an   even   greater   ratio.
From all the mining districts come
reports   of  development;   of new
mineral bodies being discovered, or
of improvements made in  the manner of treatment of the ores, whereby economics are effected,   so that
while there is a greater margin  of
profit on the grade of the ores that
have previously been worked, it is
now  possible   to   mine   profitably
those of lower grades.
The Geological Survey's report
divides the product into twoclasses;
metallic and non-metallic. Tbe
former class—the metallic—has the
first place in the value of tbe output, and this is likely to be main-
• tained and the percentage of value
over   the   non - metallic   products
gradually   increased.      The   total
value of the metallic class for   1905
was $37,150,830, or 54.2 per cent,
of the whole production.    Of this
gold- contributed $14,486,833  and
silver $3,605.    Gold  continues   to
lead in value   of  all   the   metals,
chiefly through the production, of
tbe Yukon district, the value of its
output of  the  precious   metal for
1905   oeing given   as   $8,327,000.
This, of course, is a very considerable reduction from the Yukon output of former years and is to  be attributed to the exhaustion   of  the
easily    worked    placer    deposits.
With the change to hydraulic and
dredging methods it is to   be  expected that the Yukon district will
return to something like the output
of the earlier years of the industry.
Copper figures in the report of the
value  of $7,420,451, this   amount
being reached at   15.59  cents   per
pound of the estimated quantity in
the ore and matte.    Nickel exceeds
copper   in   value,   the   production
being estimated at $7,550,526.  The
value of the lead  was $2,634,084.
Iron has not yet taken  that   place
in our  mineral production  which,
from the number and magnitude of
the deposits of iron  ore, it  is   destined   to hold   before many years
have elapsed.    Iron and   iron   ore
exported is given for 1905 as of the
value of $1,172,000.    Cobalt,   the
mineral that has made a section of
New Ontario   known   throughout
the world, only figures for $100,-
000 in the report, but  is   likely to
occupy a more important   place   in
the report for tbe current year.
The non - metallic category is
credited with a value of $22,266,-
615. Of this, as usual, coal contributes the chief amount, the 8,-
775,000 tons raised being valued at!
$17,658,615. It may be of interest
to note that the value of the coal
trade has doubled in the last seven
years, while petroleum figures as a
declining industry.

fund of valuable information, is a
close reasoner and a hard student
of the situation between the Dominion and the Province. His presence at Ottawa will be greatly appreciated by Mr. McBride who

DEATH OF JAMES CHENALL.
The death of J. Chenall in the Jubilee
Hospital, Victoria, on Thursday, Oct 4th,
will be learned with deep regret by his
many friends in Princeton and vicinity.
The late Mr. Chenall drove the Nicola-
Piinceton stage for some time, his last
trip being made on to Princeton on Saturday, Oct. 28th, 1905, and by his court-
eousness and good uature made friends
all along the line. Owing to ill health
he was forced to give up his work and
thinking a change of air would be beneficial went to California. In the spring
he returned to Nicola, since which time
he has been gradually succumbing to
that dread disease—consumption—passing away as above stated.

A new disease known as loafallday
longitinitis has struck the coast cities
and an epidemic is feared. In case it
should strike Princeton, it is well to
know the symptoms, so that immediate
steps may be taken to check it: A desire
to avoid work of any kind; just wish to
stick around; even eating becomes too
strenuous; but the cup that cheers,
brightens the eye, quickens the pulse,
makes the backward come forward,
turns dark days into sunshine, drowns
sorrow, makes you shake hands with
yjurself, and tell everybody how it happened, making life seem one long
blissful dream, is ravenously sought for.
The only cure seems to be heroic treatment. Shoe leather properly administered is said to work wonders, and a few
stunts on a rock pile will help some.
