The mills are expected vtp start this fall and will afford'i.a market for logs as well as employ a'i'St of men. The woricing tunnel now being driven at the United Empire on One-Mile is in a distance of 260 . feet. This tunnel,, for reasons peculiar to the property, is a (diagonal crosscut, cutting the coal formation, which adjoins the igneous rocks (which latter enclose the ore body) diagonally. In the.last 70 feet two seams of coal have been cut in this tunnel,.each Seam having about 4 feet of good, clean coal.' The face of the tunnel is now approaching the contact, with the big ore body, which it is' expected will be cut into in kbput another 100 feet. Ore will then be'extracted and stored.ih readjjrress ■for tfreatuient-or shipfaient when the'rail- way reaches Princeton later in the season.

A very distressing accident happened on Wednesday to the charming little two-year old daughter of L- C. Wynne while she was in her father's laboratory. It appears the little one had, unnoticed, laid hold of a small cup of sulphuric acid, evidently intending to taste it. In .doing so her lips and tongue were burnt to a blister and spilling it on her coat the powerful stuff ate its way through the cloth, burning the skin in several places. The child suffered intensely until Dr. Schon gave her relief and in a few hours ishe was pronounced out of. danger. "Biddy" is a general favorite and all will !be glad to hear of her complete recovery from tbe cruel burns. Sulphuric acid is the chemical name'for.' 'oil of vitriol' ;and is very dangerous aud destructive of ^organic matter. Apropos of the above accident it maybe stated that as a safeguard against like occurences resulting from poisons or dangerous liquids of any kind a lock and key bottle has been recently invented 'which is recommended by physicians, druggists and toxicologists. The stopper locks automatically and cannot be released, except by the key, which may be carried in.' a. pocket or attached to the bottle. .They ccst very little more than a welhfinished ordinary bottle. CANADIAN MINING INSTITUTE. The following are the officers of the Canadian Mining Institute who were elected at the recent meeting in Toronto: President, Frederick Keffer, Greenwood, B.

FISH ARE NOT PROTECTED. The attention of residents of One-Mile has been drawn to the serious depletion of fish in that stream, which has led them to make searching inquiry as to the probable or real cause. Their efforts have not resulted in a thoroughly satisfactory solution of the question. It is now up to the proper authorities to make investigation and remedy the mischief complained of. The settlers on One-Mile are not alone in their grievance, for it seems that the residents along the Similkameen have a similar kick. The poisonous acids released from the reduction works at Hedley are having a deadly effect upon the fish of the Similkameen river and unless £his nuisance is removed there will be very serious results to the piscatorial life of this section. With the proposed gun license, preserves and more stringent fish and game regulations there is abundance of law in. sight—whose duty is it to enforce the law ? OUR GREAT RESOURCES. At the meeting ofthe Associated Boards of Trade, held in Greenwood last week, President G. O. Buchanan added an appendix to his annual address, in which he estimated the value of the mineral and lumber produced in southern Kootenay and Yale, including the' Similkameen, during the year 1906 as follows: Total value of minerals, $16,954,975; Lumber, 147,000,000 ft, $2,044,000; or a grand total of $18,998,975. §§f| m m. „ ■ ;.«?5#K 0* tkmww 3 v> THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR March 30 1907.

Crossing divides, scaling mountain ranges, tunnelling the hills and bridging the rivers and canyons a path has ueen found for the 'iron horse' through the Similkameen to the Pacific coast. It has been a long time since the first survey of this district was made for a railway. To those who have been waiting for construction of the road the time seems to have been unnecessarily drawn out. Delays and disappointments due to political crises and shuffling marked the early career of the projected line. Finally, after many rumors and mere guessing, railway construction began from Midway west about a year ago and the V , V. & E. became a living, moving actuality—its decade of sleep was ended. The people of Princeton and other parts of the Similkameen had every reason to think that the days of disappointment and procrastination were at an end. They were told through the usually veracious medium of the press that construction would be rushed to Princeton, where there was abundance of fodder (coal) for Uncle Jim's horses.' No less authorities than the vice-president and chief engineer of the Great Northern stated that steel would be laid to Oroville in September last and to Princeton by February. How far these anticipations were wide of realization is too well known to repeat. So far as can be predicted within the limits of accuracy, even with less progress than was made last year, the raiis should be at Princeton by September. The scarcity of labor, war or financial stringency are contingencies always to be reckoned with in building railways, but any or all of these are so remote in consideration with the V., V. & E. that no anxiety is caused. Nearly one hundred miles of grading was done last year, which leaves a wide margin for hope that the distance of some forty miles from Keremeos to Princeton will be built this season. While official announcements are subject to errors of judgment as with all humanity there is eminent reason for believing that the latest statement from the engineer- in-chief will be verified. H; savs that steel will be in Princeton in August and has also given a standing order to the Vermilion Forks Co. for the delivery of fifty tons, daily, of coal to the Great Northern for its own use on arrival at Princeton. Iftj?; Everything considered the prospects could not be much brighter than at present. A more favorable time for investment could not be desired—when there is no.excitement and sensational prices unheard of. Real estate, agricultural lands, coal and copper claims.timber areas, townsites, and mill and smelter sites are all in the market now at first cost. With vast possibilities and immense known mineral resources every inducement that a new and rich country could offer to the investor is here. Two railways are tapping at the door of the Similkameen and these with the quickened pulsations of commerce which follow must induce capital and population to flow this way. The end of doubt and despondency is at hand. Tbe busiuess of the man with the 'hammer' is gone and the dyspeptic pessimist will soon have to retreat to the hills or the backwoods.

Among a number of resolutions passed by the Associated Boards of Trade at the convention held at Greenwood recently was one urging tbe Provincial government to make an appropriation for the purpose of exhibiting ore samples at the Alaska-Yukon exposition to beheld in Seattle this year. Regarding the Sunday Observance Act the Boards wish to restrict labor as much as possible to six days a week but submit that the government should not enforce the measure till all interests were consulted onthe more difficult points involved. The Dominion Labor Bill for the prevention of strikes and lockouts was also considered and its early enforcement recommended. Resolutions regarding the export of coal and coke ; the Kootenay Central railway ; the lead bounty ; public ownership of telephones and a "bet ter Imperial news service from London " were adopted. The aid of the Princeton board of trade could well be extended to the furtheranc: of some of these important resolutions. With the Education bill, Home Rule, the remodelling-of the House of Lords, the conference of the colonial premiers and the New Theology there is plenty of food for thought and talk in the 'tight little isle' beyond the big pond. These muddy days it is very consoling and helpful to have even the promise of a sidewalk ! What about Bridge Street ? Oh, it will keep till next election campaign.

Bible, after telling the men to stand out of danger, took a pick and tried to pry the frozen mass loose. More was loosened than he thought, and struck him, carrying him down the de clivity. His neck was broken and a leg fractured.. The attention of citizens is directed to the sanitary regulations which will be enforced the ist of May. The Princeton Sunday School has received a fine gift of books and magazines from kind friends in Toronto", which will form the nucleus of a library. J.

[Continued from last issue.] The second class contains larger ore bodies, lying parallel to the strike of the schists These may be either quartz veins or mineralized bands in the schists. These carry some gold, aud the copper and iron sulphides; the highest values are in cop per. Only two claims have been Crown- granted and surveyed, and the amount of development work done on all of them is not sufficient to prove the ore bodies, or test their permanence. The surveyed claims are the Pasayton and the Sailor Jack. On both these are small fissures; on the Pasayton a fissure four inches wide, from which the samples were taken to test for tellurides; and on the Sailor Jack a fissure two feet wide cutting across a hornblende schist. The greatest ainoun': of work has been done on ihe Red Star and Anaconda dims On these there is a belt of soft talc and chloritic schist about 400 feet wide, striking 125 deg. dipping vertically, and lying between mica schists. It appears to be traversed by a fault plane, along which bunches and lenses of white feldspar and quartz have been found, and which were firs" worked for their gold content. On development the vein ran into the talc schist, which proved to be highly mineralized with copper carbonates and cuprite, and which was farther on replaced by bornite and chalcopyrite. Along with these were pyrite and arsenopyrite, siderite and some blende. A shaft has been sunk in the tunnel to a depth of sixty feet, but this had to be abandoned on accunt ofthe gases. Some native copper occurs as sheets in little slips and fault planes in the schist. Several other claims have been staked in this district, and though there are some indications of high grade ore occurring, the only work done on them has just sufficient to enable the Copper Mountain owners to hold their claim.

Min- oru Fujii, of Tokio university, Japan, will compete either in the Olympic world's championships in England or in the American championships to be held at Jamestown, Va., in September. This swarthy athlete is credited with pole vaulting the remarkable height of 12 feet 9 inches over a bar. In addition to this the officials of the Tokio university swear under oath that he ran 100 yards in 9 2-5 seconds.
