VoI^I^No. 51. PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1906. $2 a Year, in Advance LOCAL AND GENERAIg| Zero weather in March is an unusual state of the elements, yet that is what occurred this week after a most delight ful winter. Cloudless skies prevail and spring must soon burst forth in all its beauty. Mr. and Mrs. E. Waterman returned on Wednesday from their California .trip which they enjoyed very much. The holiday was the first they "had outside of Princeton in some years, the change being much appreciated ; but they longed to be back to the sunny Similkameen- with its - bright climate and brighter prospects. Wm. Gosnell, ..manager of the Princeton brewery, who is now at Nelson, has shipped the machinery and-apparatus to occupy the fine, large building now being finished on Vermilion avenue. Mr. Gosnell expects to arrive here next Saturday. Jimmy Chenhall, the old reliable 'whip' on Stewart's royal mail line to Nicola, Avas a passenger on last Saturday's coach and spent this week Visiting and recuperating his health. He was recently at Mountain View, Cal., where he Was entertained by T. A. Rogers, the well known mining man, who will be here in May to resumej; mining operations. Jimmy's numerous friends will be glad to see him fully restored to health and gliding along the old stage route with his hands fullof 'ribbons' and his foot upon the brake miking.good time. ALL ALONG Tflj LINE Railway Construction is Progressing well Both Day and Night. Engineers Locate Wharf Site at Penticton—Laborers Scarce and Work Plenty. LOOKS LIKE ELECTIONS. The following commissioners for tak ing affidavits in the Supreme Court for the purpose of acting under the "Provincial Elections Act" have been appointed : Geo. E. Winkler and R. B. White of Penticton ; C. Hairsine of Hedley ; A. D. Hardie and W. C. Bate of Fairview; HvA. Turner and'Geo. GjoTcU> borough of Princeton. Mr. Winkler is a prominent Socialist and a possible candidate for the legislature in the next elections. His appointment is due to 'Premier' Hawthornthwaite's well known mesmeric influence over 'Deputy'-Premier McBride. POSSIBLE MINOR DELAYS. Several bridges between Myers cregk and Molson will 'delay tracklaying on the V..V. & E. as Ae superstructure of these bridges is rarely laid down and put" on until brought up on the track. Each of these bridges will in all proba bility hold up th° track laying fot a week, but most Jikely the ballasting will be kept well up so as to permit of traffic as soon as possible after the trains arrive, and after the track is ballasted to Molson. That will likely be the terminus for a few weeks ; tor the bridging of the Okanagan and Similkameen at Oroville will take too long to . warrant them in holding Midway as the terminus until trains can run into Oroville. ' C.P.R. engineers have recently^lSeen at Penticton looking for the best site for a wharf. It looks as if the C.P.R. meant business at the lake terminus and would soon begin actual work of railway construction. Work on the V. V. & E. is progressing as rapidly as circumstances will permit. Every effort is being put forth and day and night shifts are working on several portions of the road between Midway and Molson. The new depot at Midway is now in use. &«■*"- At the Myers creek tunnel, about six miles west of Midway, about 300 feet have beeu;6pened. Shifts are now excavating at both ends and making rapid progress. When complete the tunnel will be some 800 feet in length. The completion of this work- has been one of the first object-, of the engineers, for until this was finished lit^tecould be done in the way of track laying, and now that the end is within reasonable sight it i-;txpected that the work 0/ laying the steel will start about May 1st. Another engineering feat of great importance was the erection of the long semi-circle trestle which takes the road across the valley at Myers creek, approaching within twenty feet 'of the American boundary before the curve turns to the basin of Rock creek. Between Keremeos and Princeton the work will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Large gangs of men will be put on and every effort made to rush the work to completion. Engineer Amburn is revising the V., V. & E. line above Princeton on the Tulameen river. This portion of the road will be of great scenic beauty and presents some engineering difficulties in construction. ;-%)^ll It is reported that a survey will be made up the Tulameen river to its source which affords an alternative route to the coast over Hope mountains. The pass is said to be easy through the mountains by this location. The money orders and postal notes paid at. the Princeton post office indicate the growing importance of this section when compared with other places. The total paid was $4877, or nearly $400 more, than the next highest office in the Similkameen last year.. *• j SMELTS WITH COAL Blanchard - Williams Double Blast Furnac^/Proves a p&enuine Success. Trial Enn at Pilot Bay was Very Satisfactory—Princeton Coal May Be Suitable. From time to time reports of experi ments with the Blanchard-Williams double blast coal consuming furnace have appeared fn the press of the west, but not until recently have tangible and complete results been obtained from actual) stnelti,ng with coal in -this Qjrnace. At Pilot Bay a very successful run was'made at the Ferneau smelter with.the Blanchard-Williams furnace. The trial run was so satisfactory that a new 126 tonfturnace has been ordered-to be erected iaimedi ately, the water jacket for which has already been ordered in the east. By the Blanchard-Williams process coal is sub stituted for coke in about one half of the quantity in ordinary copper and lead ores and where the ore is a sulphide by using the sulphur in combustion, the percentage is still further reduced* As the cost of coal is less than half the price of coke it is certain that a very^large reduction in the cost of smelting will be effected- in cheaper fuel, while additional savings will be made in doing away with crushing and roasting of the ores. Whether Princeton coal is in every way suitable for this new process of smelting remains to be demonstrated. G. E. Baker, who is president of the company owning the Blanchard & Williams furnace, "when here last fall was of the opinion that the coal here would serve the purpose, but could not decide definitely until an actual smelting test was made with it As soon as a full report of the Pilot Bay and Butte smelter runs can be obtained it will appear in these columns. It is understood that the Granby Co. is favorably dispo^d toward the new process and may install^a-furnace to test the ores of that company Already the Butte Reduction Works of Butte, Mont., is' taking down one of the old furnaces to make room for a Blanchard-Williams. Following is a copy of a fetter written by C. Ferneau, general manager of the Ca nadian Metal Co., at Nelson, B.C., who has used and is still using one of the Blanchard Williams furnaces: g Improved Smelter & Mining Co. Portland, Ore. "Gentlemen—In reply to your letter "of the 14th inst. I am pleased to state that the trial run of your furnace was highly satisfactory. It proved that coal can be used instead of coke, and that the gas resulting from the coal was completely burned in the secondary stack. Through out the test the slag ran very hot. I consider your furnace as especially a'dapted for copper matte making. Yours truly, _C. Ferneau, General Manager." On request of the Butte Reduction Works Co. of Butte, Montana, the following statement concerning the Blanchard & Williams double blast furnace is made by the Improved Mining and Smelting Co., sole owners of the above named furnace : " The/furnacejconsists of two stacks set en/1. to end or side by side known as- the Primary and secondary stacks. They 'are/so arrariged' that the bottom of the tWo stacks are connected allowing what -iff known or termed an archway between them. Each stack is provided with two rows of air tuyers on each side, and are.so arranged that a complete combustion of the smoke aud gases is had at the bottom of the two stacks. The primary stack is provided with a double bell top feed so as to make it air tight. The secondary stack is open and connected to the down take or flue chambers the same as any- ordinary blast furnace. The primary stack is charged with mixed coal and ore charge and the secondary stack with the ore charge only. - A down blast is produced in the primary stack and at the upper row of tuyers the coal is practically made into coke; also the fusing of the ore is started. 'At the second row of tuyers in the primary stack complete lushion of the piimary charge is had. The gases which are driven off in making coke and the smoke from the coal in the primary stack, pass on into the secondary stack, and between the lower tuyers in the primary stack and the bottom row of tuyers in the secondary stack complete combustion of the smoke and carbon monoxide is had. Ores that contain a quantity of sulphur can be smelted in this style of furnace with little or no fuel by. properly supplying the air and by use of the second row of tuyers in the secondary stack sufficient air is applied to convert the sulphur into tah phuric acid. Such tremandous heat is generated by .the combustion of the smoke and gases that two and three charges of ore are smelted in the secondary stack, to one in the secondary stack, to one'in the* primary stack; and the primary stack is smelting as much or more than any stack now in use. We do not ask for any special kind of ores as the worst combination known has been successfully* smelted in this style of furnace. Ore containing 70 per cent, silica and only 3 per cent, sulphur was readily smelted in both stacks, and with this ore the secondary stack ran two charges to one in the primary stack and the slag ran very hot and apparently as thin as water, also rendering a com- [Continued on page 3.] Sf _^ ■---==- wmuHii£i t»|"<^ W.".<SP$ gajwgsgMBw ~ - f:~>. -^.r. -■-'■- H|B|n^^^ ;^".;-.- -=z? :-;-;.:■■ ■:TTTr^~T | ^SSWPpspS^fpBCTp" THE SIMILKAMEE N^S TAR March 17, 1906 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR \ March 17, 1906 The Similkameen Star Published Weekly at PRINCETON, B.C ii*«J.—BY— The Princeton|Publishing Co.

" Companies Act, 1897." WAGON EOADS WANTED. The provincial estimates for the current year give the revenue for that period at $2,647,976 and the expenditure $2,837,916, thus creating a deficit of about $190,000. The principal items of expenditure -are public works, $677,810 ; education, $409,075. The Similkameen riding has had more favorable consideration this year than last, thanks to the agitation for better terms and larger appropriations forv roads which have been persistently advocated since last year's estimates were made. During 1905 many .petitions from settlers and resolutions from the board of trade have been sent to the government urgiag the necessities of Princeton district which, it is hoped, with the increased appropriation, will now be expended to the satisfaction of all concerned and in relief of those necessities. In this part of Mr. Shatford's constituency there has been scant justice done to the taxpayers and other contributors to the revenue in the past. The amount of money received by the government from coal licenses and leases in the vicinity of Princeton, at the moderate estimate of fifty of these, would yield $5,000 annually. From metalliferous mining about $3,000 is the annual contribution and the other- natural sources of revenue : timber, land and water will, it is believed, amount to $5,000. Trade and hotel licenses, personal property and poll taxes and incidental sources of revenue would, it is calculated, produce $3,000 more. Here then are $16,000 total, at a moderate estimate, contributed by the Princeton section exclusively, in return lor which a mere pittance is spent on road maintenance and building of new ones. Out of the appropriation of $20,- 000 made for the Similkameen district this year the road up One- Mile and that to Five-Mile settlers should receive a sum sufficient to afford taxpayers in those sections A means of communication with their marketing places. Without a wagon road those settlers are badly handicapped in disposing of their produce and cannot develop their /arms as they would like. The NOTES AND COMMENTS. When the Dominion government levied a head tax of $500 on the Chinese coming into Canada, which practically meant exclusion, it settled the vexed question politically and socially. Since then there has been no agitation against the Chinese who remained in the country after the 'Exclusion Act' bad been passed. Public opinion was satisfied at the end of a long agitation and the abatement of an intolerable nuisance. There are no more Chinese riots in either Canada or the United States since immigration has been stopped and all cities and towns are now wide open and unrestricted to the Mongolian in so far as he complies with the civic statutes and is otherwise law-abiding. The reason for this is not far to seek. The public mind is at rest so far as the yellow peril threatened and no uneasiness is caused by their presence in any locality as their number is fast diminish/rig. The employment of Chinese by all classes of white people is now practised so generally that it attracts little attention and workingmen do not complain as bitterly as they did formerly. The Chinese are a passing race in British Columbia and in a few years will have disappeared from the scene here leaving behind no regrets for their departure. . What seems to be a fair way of deciding whether the Midway & Vernon railway is entitled to a subsidy is left to the decision of Chief Justice Hunter by the government. At the same time it looks strange that Premier McBride either could not or would not give the decision himself and save the country the expense. An order-in-council was signed recently which gave the chief justice authority to make the decision, the government agreeing to pay the subsidy if such decision be favorable to the company. The Kaien land grant deal has been investigated by a government appointed committee which has, as was to be expected, exonerated the Hon. Robert Green from any blame whatsoever in connection with this ever memorable transaction. The minority and majority reports will be published and the public will then be able to render a verdict. I hereby certify that the " Oregon & British Columbia Mining and Developing Co., Ltd.," has this day been registered as an Extra-Provincial Company under the " Companies Act, 1897," to carry out or effect all or any of the objects of the Company to whicb the legislative authority of the Legislature of British Columbia extends.

Synopsis of Regulations Governing the Disposal of Dominion Lands within, the Railway Belt in the Province of British Columbia. A LICENSE to cut timber can be acquired only at pubHc competition. A rental of $5 per square mile is charged for all timber berths excepting those situated west of Yale for which the rental is at the rate of 5 cents per acre per annum. In addition to the rental, dues at the following rates are charged: Sawn lumber, 50 cents per thousand feet B.M. Railway ties, eight and nine feet long, 1% and x% cents each. Shingle bolts, 25 cents a cord. All other products, 5 per cent, on the sales. A license is issued so soon as a berth is granted, but in unsurveyed territory no timber can be cut on a berth until the licensee has.made a survey thereof. 'i$$& Permits to cut timber are also granted at public competition, except in the case of actual settlers who require the timber for their own use. Settlers and others may also obtain permits to cut up to 100 cords of wood for sale without competition. The dues payable under a permit are #150 per thousand feet B.M., for square timber and saw logs of any wood except oak; from % to i)4 cents per lineal foot for building logs; from 12% to 25 cents per cord for wood; 1 cent for fence posts; 3 cents for railway ties; and 50 cents per cord on shingle bolts. Leases for grazing purposes are issued for a term of 21 years at a rental of two cents an acre per annum. Coal lands may be purchased at $10 per acre fo- soft coal and $20 for anthracite. Not more than 320 acres may be acquired by one individual or company. Royalty at the rate of 10 cents per ton of 2000 pounds is collected on the gross output Entries for land for agricultural pur poses may be made personally atthe local land office for the district in which the land to be taken is situated, or if the homesteader desires, he may, on application to the minister of the interior at Ottawa, the commissioner of immigration at Winnipeg, or the local agent for the district within which the land is situated, receive authority for some one to make entry tor him. A fee of $10 is charged for a homestead entry. A settler who has received an entry for a homestead is required to perform the conditions connected therewith -under one of the following plans : 1. At least six months' residence upon and cultivation of the land in each year during the term of three years. It is the practice of the department to require a settler to bring 15 acres under cultivation but if he prefers he may substitute stock, and 20 head of cattle, to be actually his own property, with buildings for their occupation, will be accepted instead of the cultivation. 2. If the father (or mother, if the father is deceased), of any person who is eligible to make a homestead entry under the provisions of the act, resides upon a farm in the vicinity of the land entered for by such person as a homestead, the requirements of the act as to residence prior to obtaining patent may be satisfied by such person residing with the father or mother. 3: If the settler has his permanent residence upon farming land owned by him in the vicinity of his homestead, the requirements as to .residence may be satisfied by residence upon the said land. Application for a patent should be made at the end of three years before the local agent, sub-agent or a homestead inspector. Six months' notice in writing should be given to the Commissioner of Dominion Lands at Ottawa of intention to apply for patent. W. W. CORY. Deputy of the Minister of Interior.

To say he was stout would hardly fill the bill. He was fat and two cunning little eyes looked out at you from a wrinkle of the same ma terial. His nose, what there was of it, was short and turned up at the point exposing two large nostrils,. a long upper Hp, large mouth and a sawed off chin which gave him the appearance of belonging to the Hog family. His grass tanglers were large and seemed to be afflicted with bunions or kidney complaint, and yet he shuffled around with a good deal of restless energy while he ^expressed his opinion of our benighted condition in not knowing enough to help ourselves to the good things Nature had placed within our reach. vVe were at a loss to know what position he occupied in the economy of nature, or more properly speaking human nature, until he faced the bar and calkd for a .'solitary.' Then we knew he was a real "estate man from the coast. He brought a bucket full of water from the Welldo chicken soup spring and when he had seasoned it with pepper and salt he passed it around—it was his treat. -And I must say that the soup was all right, so far as taste went. He says that inside of a year he will have it "on every hotel table from San Francisco to Cape Nome and nobody will know that it is not the genuine article Until the coroner has the stomach of some deceased guest analyzed who has been fattenetl^to the point of starvation on this famous mineral water.
