Vol. vii. No. 4. PRINCETON, B.G, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1906. $2 a Year, in Advance MINING NOTES. The Oro Denoro mine in the Boundary has been bonded to the B.C. Copper Co. The figure has not been made public. The average price for electrolytic copper itrTVlarch was 18.361 cents. Chas. Mitchener, mining man, went to Vernon on Thursday and will return in a few days. W. C. McDougall is sinking a shaft in ore on the United Empire. Uhler and Cox are hard at work on the Gladstone group and are showing some fine samples of bornite and azurite taken from a 10-foot ore face. J. Noble, mining expert, has been at Copper mountain for the past ten days making thorough surface examinations of the whole mountain. Geo. Aldous returned from Seattle last Saturday where he had been on mining business. Mr. Aldous will apply at the next sitting of the license commissioners for a hotel license. J. Watt, of Penticton, is here attending to ininiug interests. E. F. Voigt has paid off nearly all of his laboring staff in his mineral camp a number of whom have been in town for a few days on their way to other mining camps. ~ GOOD SUGGESTION. Editor Star—Sir: I noticed in an eastern paper that the business men of the Boundary district were about to un dertake energetic means to advertise that section. It occurs to me that it could not be other than advantageous if the commercial interests of the Similkameen would unite upon a course of this kind with reference to their own district. An inexpensive means of accomplishing this isjiow being overlooked. Every envelope that leaves the Similkameen shouid advertise your wealthy district. The word "Similkameen" printed diagonally across the back of every envelope, with a few words concerning its situation and resources, would serve this purpose. Business houses should readily unite on a scheme of this kind. Their own business card might appear on the front of the envelope. The general public would also use these envelopes if they could be obtained. Yours truly, Ggo. R. Phiw. Toronto, April 6, 1906. M The fire brigade received an instalment of the fire-fighting appliances ordered some time ago. Wheels for the hook and ladder cart are expected to arrive any day. The proposed water works, when completed, will give Princeton adequate fire protection and enhance the value of the town for residential purposes. F. A. Howse came in from Nicola last Saturday returning on Wednesday. He reports prospects bright in Nicola and the continuation of railway construction almost a certainty. - SAN FRANCISCO DESTROYED City a Tottering and Fallen Mass of Ruins Without Light, or Water to Stay Devouring Flames* Present Estimated Number of Killed, 2,500; Injured Cannot be Even Approximately Computed; Loss will Exceed $100,000,000; Details not Yet Received. The first news of the great earthquake disaster at San Francisco was received in a press despatch to the Star at 2_p.m. on Wednesday. On that day, while yet the big city was muffled in the stillness of early morn and a multitude of its citizens were wrapped in sleep, thousands of whom in a twinkling passed into that deeper sleep that knows no awaking, the great calamity stole upon them and a city was virtually razed to the ground. No warning of the catastrophe was given beyond a few slight premonitory tremors followed by a terrific quake which felled thousands of buildings and entombed their occupants. The city hall and all the other civic and government buildings are a vast pile of ruins. Other magnificent structures, such as the Call, Examiner, Masonic Temple and Postal Exchange are a tangled mass of steel, brick and mortar. The old Palace hotel, familiar to travellers from the Similkameen, alone remains of the flower of 'Frisco's magnificent hotels. As if dissatisfied with the destruction caused by the earthquake the destroying angel swept the waterfront from Battery to Front street with a huge tidal wave, demolishing docks, shipping, warehouses and everything in its path. All the electric power and light plants are in ruins and the city is in darkness but for the lurid glare of unfought flames. The wreck of rail and telegraphic facilities in and about the city makes communication difficult, thus delaying details of the disaster, but enough is known to make it certain that it is one of the most appalling misfortunes of modern times. It will easily outrank that convulsion of nature by which Vesuvius devastated many small villages so recently and may be compared with the frightful losses of life at Lisbon and Calabria a century ago when 40,000 and 60,000 people were swallowed up in a yawning earth and otherwise killed. While it is impossible to procure accurate details the despatch states that 2,500 is a conservative estimate of the killed and that no approximate idea of the number of injured can be given, there is reason to believe that in the final reckoning all present estimates will be largely exceeded. Martial law prevails in the desolate city and any person found looting is immediately shot. San Francisco has a population of about 400- 000 of which 50,000 are Chinese, besides many other foreigners. Thos. Sloan, an old-timer of Princeton, arrived on Wednesday after about three year's absence. His faith in this district has never waned an iota and he comes back from Ontario filled with bright ex pectations which he will endeavor to realize out of the great natural wealth in this section. G. Ranch, brewer, has arrived from Milwaukee to work in Princeton brewery. The baseball 'tools' arrived last Saturday and regular practices by the club are in order. Provincial Constable Hewat has been appointed sanitary inspector for Princeton district and will immediately enter upon his duties. The Appeal to Reason newspaper is .prohibited in Canadian mails. LOCAL AND GENERAL. J. R. Campbell, druggist, has been brightening the front of his store with paint and with the new awning has now very cosy premises. Inside fittings and admirable display of stock makes the City Drug Store- a most inviting place to do business in. A. Irwin, Indian agent, arrived in town Thursday on his way to Hedley. He is accompanied by Mrs. Irwin and will visit their-sons resident in the Similkameen. Mr. Irwin was caught in the gold stampede to this country and was at Granite creek in the old placer days. As Indian agent he has proved to be a faithful and efficient officer and retains the confidence of his wards' as well as that of the Department of Indian Affairs. Travellers and freighters over the Nicola road give unstinted credit to the road overseer of the Otter Valley section for having kept his portion in such good condition in spite of the rugged nature of the country traversed. It must be a source of gratification to the commissioner of works to have an employee who not only merits commendation but reflects credit on the department he so faithfully serves. C. E. Thomas and Cook & Co. have recently freshened up their store fronts with paint and a cottage on Fenchurch Av. is being transformed with some rainbow coloring. Hugh Cowan has raised his barber shop Up and placed solid new underpinning beneath, which adds to the attractiveness of this popular resort for those requiring attention to their hirsute growth and to bodily cleanliness. The building was elevated by Tink French in such way as to interrupt business as little as possible. Mr. Cowan is putting up an addition to the shop which will enable him to put additional chairs in the tonsorial department and thus provide for the increase of customers during railway construction. LOOK FOR TUNGSTEN. The commercial value of tungsten, owing to its insufficient supply and increasing demand, makes it worthy of all prospectors'' attention, especially as it is believed to exist in the Similkameen where conditions are favorable for it. It is found in four different characters of ore, the most common being wolframite, a darkish crystallized mineral, which is often present in a granite intrusion. It i? also in hubernite, which is found in a dark serpentine formation and resembles the first ore. It is present in scheelite, which is nearly as heavy as lead ores; the fourth is a massive black mineral and is found in a dioritic horn blende. Tungsten has become of renewed interest in recent years owing to its use in the man- factUre of so-called self-hardening rapid tool steels. It is now worth about $450 per ton.. mamwm ^ Hfv^ "^?3?!

It is little known beyond the easily accessible parts but the advance of the iron horse toward remote and isolate districts has awakened. to new life and vigor the ambitions and hopes of investors and residents. The Similkameen is the most inviting field of all. CERTIFICATE OF THE REGISTRA TION OF AN EXTRA-PROVINCIAL COMPANY. "Companies Act, 1897." SAVE THE HORSE. Glanders has become so prevalent in""" some districts of the province, "that the Dominion government has wisely adopted measures to prevent further spread of this malignant disease. The advertisement appearing on the third page of the Star by the Veterinary Director-General for the Dominion is a timely warning* to.'horse; owners in the Similkameen and elsewhere. Information o'f the importance contained in this advertisement should be preserved for future reference. Subscribers and stablemen would do well to cut out the advertisement and paste it up for future consultation and guidance. It should be the aim of every person to assist the government in its earnest efforts to stamp out the disease and thus preserve from destruction and possible annihilation the noblest of man's brute friends— the horse. In all, civilized countries statutes are framed for the destruction of glandered horses. In this respect Canada is fortunate in having a Department - of Agriculture which is being imitated in other countries in the propagation of the industry generally and which has adopted the latest ■•scientific methods of detection and prevention of glanders. 'The compensation allowed owners'of slaughtered horses by the, Dpminion government is j greater than in any other country. Glanders is readily transmitted to man and to all of the equine species but dogs-and cattle are-not subject to it. Pus, from a glanders ed horse is very contagious coming in contact with the broken skin of a man or by any means in which the germs gain access to the blood. So far as known no case of glanders has been reported in the Similkameen but its presence in .adjoining districts makes precautionary mea^ sures imperative to prevent this lingering and loathsome disease gaining a foothold.

April 21, 1906 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR WARNING - GLANDERS. In districts where the existeuce of Glanders is suspected and especially in neighborhoods where actual. outbreaks have occurred the adoption of the fol lowing precautions by owners of horses and others interested will do much to prevent Uie,spread of the disease and the establishment of fresh centres of infection. i. Horses or mules having a nasal discharge or other suspicions symptoms should not be admitted to livery or feed stables or yards, blacksmith shops, church or school sheds, railway stock yards, private stables or other places where they are likely to come into direct or indirect contact with animals of the equine species. 2. All stabl»s, yards or sheds used for the accommodation of horses or mules should be regularly and frequently cleansed and disinfected in the manner prescribed below. 3. After cleansing the premises thoroughly, and burning all debris, the interior should be well gone over with hot steam, or boiling water, adding to the latter at least one quart of crude carbolic acid to eacli'five gallons after which the entire surface should be thickly coated with a hot solution of fresh lime wash, to which crude carbolic acid has been added in the above mentioned proportion. Outbuildings, fences, and tying posts , with which infected animals have been in contact, should also, when possible, be thoroughly treated in a similar manner. All ordinary harness and stable utensils which have been in contact with infected animals or infected premises, should be thoroughly soaked in a hot solution of crude carbclic acid of a strength of one part to twenty. Materials which might be injured by the above treatment, such as valuable harness, robes cushions, etc., which have been in contact with infection, should be placed in an air tight room and fumigated with Formaldehyde after which they should be. thoroughly cleaned. 4. In stables where outbreaks have occurred or where diseased animals have, inadvertantly or otherwise, been stabled, even temporarily, the cleansing and disinfection should be especially thorough and in such cases it is safest to remove and burn feed boxes and mangers when of wood : i.rou articles can be tendered harmless by passing them through fire - or by immersing them for some time in boiling water. All litter from suspected animals shou'd be burned or carefully fenced until used. 5. Farmers and others should, whenever possible, avoid admitting strange horses aud mules to the premises occupied by their own animals especially of the same species. It is a good plan Jo reserve an isolated building for outside horses or mules, but where this is impossible they may be accommodated in cow stables, cattle not being subject to g'anders infection Such horses and mules should be watered from special pails, which, together with all other stable utensils used on or about them, should be carefully cleansed and disinfected before being used for other animals. Stalls occupied by strange horses or mules' should be well cleansed and disinfected and, if at all possible, left unoccupied for some time. 6. Where new horses or mules are pur- i h if ed in or from districts where gland ers exists, they should, unless carefully tested with Mallein prior to purchase, be stabled apart and closely watched for some time before being brought in con tact with other animals of the equine species. 7. It must be borne in mind that while nasal discharge, or ulceration, enlarged glands, the presence of farcy buds, unaccountable swelling of the limbs and general unthriftiness, often characterize cases of Glanders, the disease exists in many animals without, for the lime being any external manifestation whatever, the only means of detection in such cases beiug the Mallein test, and that these occult or latent cases are in some lespec s the most dangerous because unsuspected. Our experience shows that it is possible for animals of this class to convey infection to others without themselves devel oping acute symptoms. It is therefore plain that great caution should be exer cited in the purchase or handling of strange horses or mules especially in those districts where the disease has become established. 8. The carcases of animals dying from or slaughtered as being affected with Glanders should, when possille, be burned or, failing this, buried at least six feet beneath the surface. 9. Owners of premises where outbreal s have been dealt with should bear in mil d that Inspectors cannot recommend release from quarantine unless disinfection has been carried out in a satisfactory manner and that compensation for animals slaughtered cannot be paid until a certificate of cleansing and disinfection has been received by the Minister of Ag riculture. 10. Horse owners should have no hesitation in reporting to this Department or to its inspectors the existence of actual or suspected cases of Glanders. The disease has been spreading rapidly of late years and it is a matter of public interest that every fresh centre of infection should be discovered and dealt with-as promptly as possible J. G.
