Princeton coal is famous as a domestic fuel. No sentiment, however beautiful, can compare with a lovely deed u There never was a day so misty and gray That the blue was not somewhere above it; There is never a mountain-top ever so bleak, That some little flower does not love It." Vol. vii. No. 19 PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1906. $2 a Year, in Advance LOCAL NEWS NOTES, Llewellyn C.

It is a healthy looking weekly being well patronized with advertisements and its editorials devoted to live local subjects. Following the lead of some of its neighbors it lays claim to independence in politics So long as it maintains that creed without wavering it will have the respect and confidence of the public. The Star welcomes the Press to its sanctum and wishes it prosperity. C. F. Law was in town this week and reports the Bear creek wagon road completed. His company will at once begin development of their mineral properties on Bear creek, for that purpose steam hoisting gear will be brought in'and construction of permanent buildings proceeded with. The death of Mrs. G B. Armstrong of Lower Nicola comes as a sad surprise to many friends and relatives. A husband and two children mourn her early decease. Word haT been received of the death of William Broadfoot who left Princeton about six weeks ago to make use of the curative properties of Banff hot springs. Deceased was well known here and made many frieuds b}- his genial, kindly disposition. In the last Presbyterian, July 26th, the announcement is made that Rev. D. F. Smith of this place has been chosen as missionary to some foreign field by St. Andrew's congregatiou, Winnipeg. His ordination and location of field of labor will take place in Winnipeg about the first week in October. It is expected that a Mr. Allan will be appointed to the Princeton field in September. ASBESTOS AT EAGLE CREEK. J. H. Tway brought in a few pounds of ,asbestos from the claim which he has located on Eagle creek in the upper Tulameen section. The samples shown are of the white variety with long silken fibre and were taken from the surface. The deposits are pocketty as far as Mr. Tway could observe but he has no doubt as to the existence of a large and well defined body which development will prove. Asbestos is not combustible and is slow to conduct heat which make it valuable for fire protection. It is often made into gloves which, when dirty, can be thrown into fire and whitened. It i's worth, from $30 to $90 per ton, according to quality, and there is a good demand for it. SEEK ANOTHER PASS Preliminary Line up Similkameen River will be Run for V.,V. & E. Policy of Great Northern to Acquire Hiuimum Grade also Maximum of Tonnage. Much interest is centred in the movements of the Great Northern survey party in charge of W. W. Amburn. On the return of Mr. Amburn from a recon- naisance of the Similkameen river route through Hope mountains the party was recalled from surveying up the Tulameen river beyond Otter Flat. It is reported that a practicable pass has been found between the headwaters of the Skagit river, which empties into Puget Sound, and Silver creek, which empties into the Fraser river. The divide between the river and creek is narrow and may admit of tunnelling. It is to determine all pos sibilities that Mr. Amburn's party has been ordered to this divide to make a preliminary survey westwards until he meets another survey party in charge of Mr. Bryce It is a long standing policy of President Hill to secure the best available grades for his rai.roads. For that reason engineers Baldwin and Amburn have recently ransacked the Hope mountains from the Fraser river to the international boundary and no doubt they know every pass that a ray of daylight can penetrate. The result of their labors cau only be guaged by the survey parties and the public can only forecaste the chosen route by keeping tab on the right of-way agent. A party of trail cutters left on Wednesday for the Skagit followed by packers and survey outfit? who will work as far as Cedar Flat. Without definite information as to this new route of the V.,V. & E. it can only be conjectured that the objective point is at the mouth of Silver creek below Hope. There it touches the original survey line via Coquihalla pass. It was long ago known that a railway via Chilliwack lake and river was impracticable within reasonable cost, although it is the shortest. Looking at the map, there will be little gained in mileage via the Similkameen as compaied with the Coquihalla, but-the difficulty of building through a canyon a dozen miles long by the former route would, one might think, constitute aninsurmountableobstacle. Whichever route is chosen will tap a rich mineral section and there will be no lack of tonnage. Divine service tomorrow in the court house at 11 and 7:30—Rev. E. R. Bartlett. MOUNTAINS OF ORE Copper and Kennedy Mountains Contain Immense Ore Bodies. Coal and Water Abound for Generating Cheap Electrical Power in Mining. The Nubian group now under nego tiatious for investigation and purchase consists of four mineral properties located on Kennedy mountain, about twelve miles from Princeton on the west bank of the Similkameen river The formation of this section is extremely favorable to the existence of large and permanent bodies of ore,-consisting of crystalline and carboniferous rocks. Granite forms one wall of this great mineral bearing dike or zone and the shales and porphyry the other. The ore forms in the syenite, lime and quartzite, which in a general way form the gangue or matrix of the ore. At the point where this group of mines is located on the Similkameen river the ore zone is cut in two by it, the ea-it bank forming Copper mountain and the west bank Kennedy mountain, both banks sloping from the river back to the summits at an angle of about 45 degrees. As the group extends from the river to near the summit, 1500 feet, the immense advantage to be gained by this splendid natural situation can be readily seen. A tunnel penetrating Kennedy mountain here would gain a foot in depth for every foot extended. The forces of natnre have discovered and exposed great bodies of ore on these properties and it is not necessary to expend thousands of dollars for tunnels, shafts and crosscuts, as, in its present condition, a vast quarry with, a million or more tons of ore is exposed. An equally extensive body of ore is exposed in the Red Buck" and Mogul, outside of the Nubian group which consists of four mineral claims, the Nubian, Brooklyn, Magnetic and the Ingersoll Bell. The ore exists in the most simple and desirable form kuown either for concentration or smelting. All the fluxes, if uot contained in the ore itself, are in the immediate vicinity, especially silica and lime. The ore invariably exists in the form of copper and iron sulphides and bornite. Also a small per cent of carbonate oxides and azurite is found within a few feet of the surface. As a rule the gold and silver are associated with the iron. The results thus far obtained point to the certainty that average values will not be less than $5 per ton and there is reason to believe that figure, will be ex- ceedeb. On the Cliff and Bluff mines opposite the group assays of $15 in gold and copper were obtained.in 500-lb. lots. The Nubian gave $6 from 12 separate tests. The ore from the Victoria group on the east side of the river averaged 2 per cent copper and never less than $1.85 in gold. The Copper King, above the Nubian, gave 5 p.c. copper and $7 in gold at the government assay office in Victoria. In concentrating, nine tons to one, the\ Copper mountain ores give a concentrate of 50 p.c. copper and $20 gold per -ton. If calculation be based upon even $4 per ton the unusual natural facilities prevailing here will warrant a big return upon the investmont for many years, while the risk of loss is almost wholly eliminated. The summits of all the mountains here are rolling, well watered and timbered and there is no dead timber to impede operations anywhere. Diamond drills could be used with"good effect during the early stages of development. There are four sources of power which can be used in developing mines in this section. They are water, coal, wood, and electricity which can be cheaply generated and applied. To begin with, wood will doubtless be used, but ultimately the great continuous volumes- of water will forcibly suggest the use of electricity for all purposes. It is estimated that the Similkameen river has 1500 inches of water at its lowest flow and has a fall of nearly 40 feet to the mile for forty miles from Princeton. Wood and coal are abundant, the former at $3.50 per cord delivered and the latter at $4 per tonlaid down. Coal is the most generally used fuel in stove, furnace and forge. SMELL OF KAIEN. The investigation into, the charges made by the Vancouver World as to a 'leak'in the Lands and Works department whereby certain information was given Mrs. Jimmy Anderson re tenders for lots offered by the government, has ended, the , commissioner deciding that the charges were not proven.'.Reading the evidence one is struck with the'wide latitude given Mrs. Anderson in her testimony and the narrow limitations given Mr. Higgins, editor of the World. In view of the figure cut by this woman in the Kaien inquiry on. which the reputation of Hon. Bob Green hangs, and the freedom allowed her sweet will in the Pendray matter it seems theie is no limit to her,sphere of influence. The vulgar odor of Kaien permeates the Colonist and Week as well as the Lands and Works; is its seductive inflnence to be- tolerated injudicial investigations? Campbell & Boucher have rented the Ashnola hotel, Ashnola, from W. G. McLean. Both are practical in the business and are pleasant, entertaining hosts.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. There is no possible ground or excuse for the importation of fruit into the Princeton section of the Similkameen. The soil and the climate here are favorable for the production of fruit sufficient for home demands, yet every year loads of fruit are brought in from Keremeos and other places in the Similkameen. This is not as it should be. Every farmer in this vicinity should have an orchard of well assorted fruits. From the present ' time onward there will be an ever growing demand for fruit for local consumption. It would be an injurious lack of enterprise on the NOTICE.

A. M. PHELAN. July 7 1906. GOOD RIGS Horses NOTICE. personal organ of L. W. Shatford, M.P.P., in its tirades of abuse of Mr. Ross and the Dominion government regarding railway construction in the Similkameen. It is well understood that all the Conservative newspapers in B.C. are very busy trying to bespatter the "solid seven" Liberals who sit at Ottawa hoping thus to evade the nauseous duty of defending the crookedness I of the McBride ministry and divert- I ing public attention from the Kaien and other loud-smelling deals. It won't go down with intelligent people, especially the 'coarse work' of the Gazette. The Times rounds up the Hedley paper as follows : "The Hedley Gazette, like the Phoenix Pioneer, is never satisfied so far as the Dominion government and the member for Yale-Cariboo are concerned. In its issue of July 19th its editor writes two columns bewailing the fact that railway construction has been delayed because the minister of railways refused to make a certain order approving the plans of the V.,V. & E. into Hedley. Possibly the readers of the Gazette might have been spared this sorrowful Jeremiad if its editor had known that the order to which he referred was made nine days before the publication of bis article. The granting of this order had no more to do with delaying railroad construction in the Similkameen than had the editor of the Gazette with the authorship of the decalogue." The Times explains tbe real reason for delay to be in the fact that contractors would not haul supplies and plant over Sidley mountain nor would they bring them via the C.P.R. for obvious reasons. " Did it ever occur to the editor of the Gazette," says the Times, "that in purely local matters, in which there should be no politics, but all should pull together, the member for Yale- Cariboo is deserving of somewhat kinder treatment than columns of abuse, particularly when he was at all times, so far as -it was humanly possible, protecting and promoting the interests of Hedley and the Similkameen." fruit for Princeton and local mining camps should be drawn from other quarters. As a source of revenue for the farmer and gardener there could scarce!}' be anything more profitable than fruit or vegetables. A few quotations of current prices will not be amiss: Green apples, 7 cents per lb. ; strawberries, 25c. per quart ; peaches i2^c. per lb.; new potatoes, 4c. per lb.; onions, 15c. per lb. bunch and raspberries roc. per quart.

Princeton, April 28th. The Midway & Vernon railway, may eventually be constructed in spite of the government, which has done everything to kill the enterprise. The effect of speeches by bibulous ministers at a banquet in Montreal last winter drove capital from further construction of the road and left contractors and laborers, who had begun work, without pay for their services. It shows the utter incompetence and bungling of the McBride aggregation. Grading would have been half completed on the line had the government not interfered. It is reported now that the C.P.R. has secured the charter of the Midway & Vernon which shows how well the wine-bibbing ministers played their game in delaying construction. In the Columbia & Western land grant and the Midway & Vernon muddle the master hand of monopoly is plainly visible. A government controlled by a large corporation is a menace to tbe welfare of the people. How long the electorate will endure this tyranny can be measured from now to next general election which is, no doubt, rapidly approaching.

"Yes, it was a Frenchman, and when he discovered it was German measles he had mortification set in." Young Widow—O, HerrTim, my little daughter is perfectly enraptured with you. Visitor—Indeed, what did she say, then? Young Widow—She said: ''Look here mamma, there is a man I should like for a papa." Percy—I am tired of this life of ease. I want a life of toil, danger, excitement and adventure ! Angeline—Oh, this is so sudden ! but you may ask papa. In a small country church near Har- risburg not long since a little child was brought forward for baptism. The new, young minister, taking the little one in his arms, spoke as follows: "Beloved hearers, no one can foretell the future of this little child. He may grow up to be a great astronomer like Sir Isaac Newton or a great orator like Patrick Henry, and ■it is possible that he might become the President of the United States." Turning to the mother, he inquired: "What is the name of the child ?" "Mary Ann," was the reply. Margery (sobbing)—Then all is over between us, and there is nothing for me .to do but return everything you have given me. Adolphus (smiling)—Thanks, dear Ida, let us begin with kisses. "If your wife treats you so shamefully,'' said Henpeck's friend, "why don't you get a divorce from her?" "Idid want to," replied Henpeck, "but she said •no' and of course that settled it." Customer (in antiquity shop)—What, 250 marks for this chest, which you say is 300 years old ? That's much too dear. Dealer—If you don't make up your mind pretty soon, it'll be 500 years old, and cost 400 marks. Lady (in drv goods store)—And is this color also genuine ? Salesman—As genuine as the roses on your cheeks, miss. Lady—H'm—I'll take another one. SUMMERS & WARDLE BUTCHERS Princeton Meat ii Narhet Wholesale and Retail Dealers in all Kinds of Meat.
