Vermilion Forks Co* Construct Incline Tunnel and Develop Mine in Readiness tor Shipping CoaL Excellent Results from Analyses and Practical Tests of Princeton Coal—Permanent Plant to be Installed and the Production^HZoal will Meet A11 "Probable Demands. Adaptability of Princeton Goal One of the many varied mineral resources which helps to form the hack- bone of Princeton district cannot well be over-estimated in its bearing on the future development and importance of this camp and section generally. Coal is referred to and in giving it the prominence suggested facts alone enter into consideration and these have been corroborated time and again. As to the quality of the coal, it has evoked general commendation from all who have used'it either for steaming or domestic purposes. It is an ideal cooking fuel, being qnicklv kindled into a blazing heat, is clean and free from clinker when burned on proper grat'ng and regulated feed and draught. It is exclusively used on the town forge for blacksmithing, but of course it is not pretended to classify it with the better grades of cannel coal for smithy purposes. It is these practical tests and the very general satisfaction following its use which, after all, are the final and heft analyses, that has made it famous. But it has also been subjected to scientific analytical treatment in expert laboratories with satisfactory results. Its economic value has been established beyond all doubt for domestic and power generating purposes, it remains to be seen on increasing depth whether it can be manufactured into coke for commercial , use. By a recently discovered process in England it is believed that the problem of making coke from Princeton coal has been solved. The process is* similar to 'briquetting,' which, by the addition of pitch equal to 10 per cent, a coke fully as good as that produced in the usual way is made. Producer gas, so much in vogue in the east and in Europe, is another of the uses for which the sub-bituminous coal of Princeton is eminently adapted. Enough has been said in this paragraph, which does not claim to be technical and is naturally circumscribed, to indicate the possibilities of this coal; its market is assured when railway transportation is , Wavailable. Analyses and Area. Analyses have been made of Princeton coal with varying results, as follows ; Fixed Carbon 151, 54, 62. 74 Ash 4. 5. 6. 7 Volatile Matter 22, 34, 40 A recent analysis of coal taken from the Vermilion Forks Co's mine at a depth of 50 feet below the surface was as follows : Fixed Carbon 48 Ash 6 Volatile Matter 34 Moisture 12 Considerable prospecting has been done with steam drills, the greatest depth, 1000 feet, being attained by a Toronto company, piercing at 680 feet a fine 10- f iot seam of coal. Other seams varying in thickness from 1 ft. 6 in. to 18 ft. 5^ in. have been penetrated. The area of the basin is about 24 sq. miles, containing, as estimated. 800,000,000 tons of coal. It is believed that coal will be mined at about $1.00 per ton when it is produced on a large scale. Coal is now taken from a seam 24 feet in thickness only 8 feet of it being mined. This space of 8 feet extending over the seam could vield 400 tons daily for a hundred years and still leave the remaining 16 feet untouched. Preparatory and Development Work. The Vermilion Forks Co. are at present engaged in developing their mine and have planned extensive operations as soon as shipping facilities are afforded. The Company, through the resident manager, E. Waterman, are making ready to ship on a large scale, the intention being to install a permanent producing plant as soon as the preliminary work is completed. Coal bunkers, tipple, weigh scales and automatic loading appliance have all been planned and estimated for. The location of the shaft and tunnel was suggested by engineers of the V., V. & E railway, who have located the yards and switches with a view to convenience and facility of shipping. With the present portable hoisting gear 50 tons of coal oau be produced daily and as the mine is self ventilating and self-draining there is nothing to prevent delivery of that amount when the tunnel is driven. Work in Progress. Construction of the incline tunnel is under contract to Messrs. Campbell and Ciowley who are practical men and are pushing the work with double shifts, the whole being supervised by E. B. Hall. The tunnel has a pitch of 18 deg., its dimensions being 10 feet on bottom, 9 feet on top and 7 feet high. The timber in the sets is of fir, 9x9, a large quantity of which is required and is supplied from Waddell Bros', saw mill. About four feet of headway is made each day at which rate it is expected to finish in about six weeks. The tunnel is now in about 80 feet. It is expected to tap the coal seam at about 140 feet. A self- dumping car, devised by Mr. Hall is giving good results in removing the material from the tunnel. Market is Assured. The market for Princeton coal will extend all over the Similkameen and Boundary districts, reaching to Spokane and other points in Washington. With the completion of the V.,V. & E. to the coast there can be no doubt of an active demand springing up for it in preference to the foul coals of Vancouver island, which, nevertheless, are excellent steam producers The almost smokeless character of Princeton coal makes it partiru- larl}' desirable for naval purposes in warfare and is not deleterious to the atmosphere of crowded cities. These and other considerations previously noted are very likely to create a market for it anywhere within a radius of 300 miles. Inquiries from Spokane and other points as to the expected time of delivery of coal along the railway have been received but all hinges upon the V., V. & E. which is vexatiously slow creeping up the Similkameen valley. Present and Future. Demand for real estate in Princeton has always been steady and healthy. Considering the number of years invest ors have had to wait for the turn of the tide and the railway it is remarkable that there should be any demand for real estate and farm lands. Faith in the coal and vast ore deposits of Princeton district has kept up a continuous flow of capital, however small, and it is a matter of surprise where the mouev comes from as there is no large payroll. Nobody having interests here wants to permanently leave the district. Princeton has six well stocked stores, three large hotels and a bank, besides the other usual business occupations and accessories of a promising frontier mining town. No time like the present for investment, the future is rosy with prosperity. It may not come in a cyclonic boom but there is everything to indicate rapid rise in all values when the railway is within hailing distance. While there is still room on the 'ground floor' that opportunity will not linger many months—then follows remorse and regret of procrastinator. LOCAL AND GENERAL. Angus Lamont has gone to Harrison Hot Springs where he will partake of the health giving waters of this famous, health and pleasure r sort. The Board of Trade meets to-night for the transaction of business. The Nicola Herald of May 31 announces the death of Mrs. William How- arth on Thursday previous. A few weeks ago the deceased gave birth to a son and daughter, and seemed to be progressing favorably, when the sudden news of her death was announced. The late Mrs. Howarth was well known in Princeton and at the time of death was 37 years of age. The Tulameen Hotel was opened for business on Friday la-.t. A few finishing touches still remain to be put on in the way of painting, etc. Dr. Schon returned on Wednesday from a visit to Vernon. G. A. Bigelow, known throughout the Similkameen and at Nelson, recently died at Fort Simpson, B.C. Camp McKinney, in the lower Similkameen section, is passing through a j mining revival after being desetted for a few years. Cut worms are making havoc of gardens in some localities, field crops are in fine coudition and range grass is abundant. On the whole good crops are predicted and even assured. Work on the incline tunnel at the V. F. M. Co's coal mine has been temporarily delayed by water. ON TO PRINCETON. Our latest advices, and deemed reliable, says the Boundary Creek Times, are to the effect that the V.V. & E will be rushed through from Keremeos to Princeton this summer. SENTENCED TO DEATH. James A. Dale, who a few months ago shot and killed a man by name of Celle at Carmi, was found guilty and sentenced last week by Mr. Justice Clement to be hanged, the sentence to be carried out at Kamloops on July 18th. SIMILKAMEEN THE BEST. A. K. Anderson, of Hedley, returned from Nevada last week where he had been all last winter on mining business. He reports great activity in mining there and estimates thousands of prospectors are on the ground in search of the yellow metal. The country is difficult to prospect in as water has to be carried in wagons and the heat intense. A prospecting outfit of mules, wagon and tools costs $1,000; which does not compare very favorably with the Similkameen either in facility for prospecting or cost. Mr. Anderson had many inquiries about the Similkameen but people generally will put off investing and visiting here until the railway is in operation. / V THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR June 5, 1907 The Similkameen Star B.

How foolish this forecast appears in the light of the past 11 years' record of the Liberal party ? Each succeeding general election has returned the Laurier government with increased majorities, nntil it now has the largest in the history of the country. Liberalism and progress are synono- mous terms and the people now realize it. J. DANAHER & CO. FOR MEN'S NOTES AND COMMENTS. Prof. Adam Shortt, noted political economist, of Queen's Univer-' sity, Kingston, was appointed a member of the conciliation board under the Labor Disputes Act to settle the trouble between the Grand Trunk Railway Co. and employees, writes as follows of the working of Hon. R. Lemieux's Act : "After considerable discussion, chiefly as to how the advances proposed by the Grand Trunk railway would apply to individuals, the men, on tbe advice of Messrs. O'Donohue and Lee agreed to accept the offers of the railway and everything was settled. Mutual concessions were then in order, and it seemed difficult to determine which party was the better satisfied with the character of the proceedings and the efficiency of the new Labor Act, which all recognized to have been on trial, and which all parties admitted to have proved entirely sue cessful. All important and complex labor feuds of more than two years' standing and not imprcving with age had been settled to the satisfaction of both parties without the loss of a day's work to the tr;en or a dollar to the company, and above all without disturbance to the public service. Thus was every object of the Lemieux Labor Disputes Act secured." The Dominion Conservative party are buckling on armor for the approaching general elections The life of the present House does not expire until 1909, but the Liberal part j' and government favor an appeal to the people every fourth year .which, would irake it fall in the year of grace 1908. Whilethe Conservative party is mixing war paint for the big chief, Mr. Borden, who starts on the warpath th's summer, the Libenil party is rely ing for its main defence and support on the superb showing of every department of government. Nothing succeeds like success—the good ship Canada is rising to the crest of the wave of prosperity that is sweeping over tbe broad Dominion; the party at the helm is responsible for and is credited- with this success. If there had been failure or bad times the party in power would h.ive been blamed. Some of the Tory newspapers are predicting a great victory for their party with Mr. Borden as the next J. A. Macdonald, leader of the Liberal Opposition, is in Ottawa, and on being asked about British Columbia's claim for a larger Federal subsidy, replied that the two Provincial political parties had some views in common on that issue. "The Premier," said Mr. Macdonald, "is now in England pressing the claim of British Columbia for more liberal financial aid from the Dominion. Both parties in the Province have always strongly contended for larger subsidies. Whatever I may think of the wisdom of the course pursued and the methods employed 03' the Premier, I do not wish to say anything that would hamper, him in his present mission in London. What success he is meeting with I have not heard." Neither has anyone else. Mr. Macdonald spoke of the prosperous times as surpassing that of any previous period in the historj' of the Province. "We attribute the good times," he added, "to the big price of copper and the other metals, and to the demand for lumber in the Northwest provinces and other parts of the world. The fruit growing industry has received a wonderful impetus recently, and it has been demonstrated that the quality of fruit and the large revenue obtained, particularly from apples, more than justifies the high prices for which land is being sold."

We think of Dyspepsia, Heartburn, and Indigestion as real diseases, yet they are symptoms only of a certain specific Nerve sickness—nothing else. It was this fact that first correctly led Dr. Shoop in the creation of that now very popular Stomach Eemedy—Dr. Shoop's Restorative. Going direct to the stomach nerves, alone brought that success and favor to Dr. Shoop and his Restorative. Without that original and highly vitalprinciple.no such lasting accomplishments were ever to be had. For stomach distress, bloating, biliousness, bad breath and sallow complexion, try Dr. Shoop's Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—and see for yourself what it can and will do. We sell and cheerfully recommend Dr. Shoop's Restorati SEALED TENDERS, superscribed "Tender for School house,'' will be received by the undersigned up to noon of Monday., the 3rd June. 1907, for the erection and completion of a two-room frame school house a'.

I Editor Star—-Sir: In the Hedl.e^j^M llmm iii^ss*;,|jp|^ for vvildoSUmineral claims, 1 1. iji i'bSiVthat Megraw knows -».■ .JHBKM til abso ■ ■ : merits o -^lynothhigabol eral claims owned by t|»^^|tp|^^; of, as,he never examined any of them. Nor do I think that he-would recognize the geological conditions which would indicate the probable chances of the making ofa mine out of a prospect if he siw them, which his own failure in mining a few years ago at Camp McKinney shows. Willi a very few exceptions mines are'rmade, not found and those that make!'it their business to develop mining claims know what chances they have of making it into a mine, and do their work towards proving the value of the property • before parting with very much money. The more mining properties that change owners in a mining dis trict the better for the district, as it means new blood and new energy and more money, with the better prospect fov mines and prosperity. Those people who purchase a claim only for speculation and because they think it is cheap and with no intention of developing or prospecting their property, ought to lose their money aud they usually do. I heard one man complain of being wild- catted not long ago. He bought from a prospector who was • having a jamboree and wanted more money for boose, and thinking that a drunken man would not know what he did, he bought and got the worst of the deal Now he is com plaining because he did not succeed in robbing, him of something valuable. Had he been offered the best prospect in the world for a four bit piece by a sober man he would not have bought. Let everyone do his best towards building up the Similkameen district and do no knocking. If Megraw would begin by going up on the Nickle Plate mine and see what is being done and what is expected to be done during the year, he would find sufficient material to have his paper bristling with mining news for several months. During the year beginning May 31st, 1906, something like #56,000 worth of work was recorded as being done by prospectors near Hedley, and still we never see anything said about it in the Gazette. Mr. D. D. Cairns in a paper read at the meeting of the Canadian Mining Institute, 1905, (Vol. VIII, p. 302, Jour. C.M.I., 1905) describes the prospector as being the pionear of devel opment aud enterprise. And Mr. Geo. R. Smith, M.L.A., states that the government does not do enough towards helping the prospector. And still there are those in this town who would enjoy seeing the remaining prospectors walk away from Hedley without a dollar. These prospectors were the ones that cut the trails into this country and discovered the mining possibilities and brought tnonied men in and interested them in their properties. But what have those others done to deserve the right to judge the doings of those who came before them. Should Megraw wish to put his humanitarian principles to use he could do so by seeing to the enforcement of the law in relation to gambling in Hedley. Gambling will do about as much towards development ofa community as barnacles on a ship's bottom will increase the speed of the ship. Yours truly, Hedley, May 28. Prospkctor.
