PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, \ 906. $2 a Year, in Advance 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. \ well defined vein of gold bearing quartz 9 feet wide traceable for a mile,. Clearing has been commenced on the townsite of Welldo. 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. Things Doing In and Around Town —People Coming and Others Going. Jas. Milroy, of Roche River, is in town. H. Campbell, Ashnola, is staying- at the Jackson. Anugus Lamont was in from Ashnola on Wednesday. Mrs. Cook and family are in town from Granite Creek. Mr. and Mrs. Gulliford were in town this week on business. Mrs. and Miss Alice Allison paid Princeton a visit on Wednesday. Mr. Voigt, of Copper mountain, is reregistered at the Hotel Jackson. Mrs. James is building a residence on her ranch near Granite. A. E.. Jackson, manager of the local branch of the Bank of Commerce, is back fiom a week's hunt. Word comes from Spokane that grading will be commenced from Keremeos' to Hedley within three weeks. Mrs. D. McPhail was a passenger from Otter Flat last Saturday and proceeded on to Hedley Sunday morning. A. Murchie is busy taking views in the vicinity of Granite Creek, Welldo, Otter Flat, taking in the mines in this locality. Chas. Harris was in town on Wednesday from his ranch. He brought in a load of oats, of which he has a fair crop. Chas. F. Daw, one of the principal shareholders of tbe Similkameen Mining and Smelting Co., Bear Creek, is in town on business. Mr. A. Baldwin, chief of the V.V. & E. survey, left on Thursday for Hedley, where he will meet Mr. Kennedy and other railway officials. Robt. Stevenson and Sam Spencer and wife have returned frctn the Hope Summit. They report the weather in that direction to be somewhat moist. Jack McConnell of the Sovereign mine, Aspen Grove, is in town on his way to the coast via the Hope trail. Mr. McConnel will spend the winter in Vancouver. Sam Cassidy was in town this week renewing old acquaintances and making new ones. Sam is one of the b'hoys. J. Oswald Coulthard, who has been in Princeton for the past three weeks, looking after his mining interests, will leave for New Westminster on Sunday, by way of Nicola. Mr. Coulthard expects to return in the spring, when active operations will be commenced on the Roanie mine. tiam THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR October 13, 1906 The Similkameen Star Published Weekly at PRINCETON, B.C —BY— The Princeton Publishing Co.

SATURDAY, OCT. 13, 1906. 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.

JOHN M. SMITH. Princeton, Sept. 15th, 1906. I October 13, 1906 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR 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. CLAUDET & WYNNE 1ASSAYERS MINING ENGINEERS and!

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. NOTICE.
