The trend of flairs is toward great and rapid development of the mineral resources of the j^vhole northwest from now on ; in fact it as already begun. The splendid results of the Granbyand [other mines have made a deep and lasting impression in the financial and min- ling wprld as to what can be actually Accomplished cm the vast ore bodies of iBritish Columbia. The depth, quantity land character of ore, susceptible as it is Jto ordinary methods of treatment, to gether with an increasing output, is a more impressive and effectual adver-fcisej ment than all the spasmodic booms on the continent. The field is vast, inter Resting and instructive. In all the mining centers scores of oung men can be found who are gradu- tes of the Colorado school of mines. That state founded a school of mines at SGolden long before it had produced the irecord that the Similkameen has, and Jthe status of that school ranks with the ibest in the world. One great advantage lies in the fact that if a school were established now, during the comparatively early stages of development, the acquired knowledge of [the students will naturally keep pace I with the growth of the industry in all its i branches and knowledge being of a natu- 'ral, gradual growth, will be more easily I acquired and productive of far better re- I suits than if deferred until the more I later and complicated stages of mining I progress. In this way the school will lgrow with the industry. I Much credit is due to the government or the aid it has rendered to mining in iiany ways, but there is much to be done 'et if the merits of the industry are to ompete with other centers and become ae power aud mighty factor in building lp in all ways, that it should be. In the bidst of all this the question forces itself apon all observant mining men : Why is aere not a school of mines here ? It is jiday one of the most laudable utfder- " kings that can possess the mind of some nbitious statesman, a sure road to popu- fity and a lasting monument for the lure. For a young man who will put soul p~ his work and adopt it because he loves it, metallurgy, the study of-minerals, their deposition, characteristics and the various processes for the extraction of values is at once the most interesting, instructive and remunerative of all the professions. The scope for thought and discovery is unlimited. Much has been done but the possibilities of the future are almost unthinkable. The strides made in the past in the extraction of values compel our astonishment, but they are as nothing compared with what will be done along the line of low grade ores and tailings. Crude'ore that will average only $2 per ton is being treated at a profit in Australia. Money is made from tailings that contain only 65 cents per ton. Ore is mined and milled for 50 cents per ton in A nod or Co. California. The Tread well pays dividends on ore that runs only/$2 65 per ton. These are a few examples. Fifteen years ago good mining men would have doubted this. Of course the character of the ore and the favorable.siirJ rounding conditions have much to do with this, but these results indicate what we may expect in the future. Associated with a school of mines nothing would bring greater returns than a department where ores could be tested free of charge. This is not only a reasonable request but an imperative need, and would stimulate the search for "minerals in every district. Farmers are aided in many ways by the government. They get freer seeds and have the soil analyzed. Why not extend the same aid to the prospector? Many find minerals of great value by accident who are not prospectors and who are doubtful or cannot afford the expense of a test, which would often lead to the discovery of a valuable mine. Untold benefits would come from the privilege. One good producing mine a year would more than repay the cost. Assays coming from these sources under such conditions-would rarely affect the work of a local assayer, because a lack of means is what prevents aru'an from bringing a doubtful piece of rock to am assayer. (To be continued next week.) The well known firm of Summers & Wardle have recently had the "Princeton Meat Market" put into first class condition and have all the latest improved methods and appliances for the service of their customers. These young gen tlemen are pioneers of the butcher bust ness in the Similkameen and have been practically identified with its expansion in Princeton since it has been a town. All their beeves are home grown and grass fed and are all prime and juicy. What promised to be a sensational case was nipped j in the bud by Magistrate Thomas this 'week. A man, a girl and two horses figured in it but the magistrate decided there was no case. SURVEY OF RAILWAY Location of V.,V. & E. is being Pushed Forward Rapidly to Completion. Steel to Oroville in Spring—C.P.E. Co. Sues Great Northern for $8,000 Damages. Survey work on the V., V. & E- goes rapidly on. The line' is now located continuously from Midway to about three miles west of Princeton. Mr. Cren shaw's party will strike camp here Uext Monday and move up the Tulameen; Amburn's party is camped at Otter Flat working down the river. When these two parties meet near Welldo the locaf tion will be complete to Hope in about three weeks' time. Mr. Tracy is work-| ing-westward from Hope and will meet another party now working eastward from Chilliwack completing this section in a month. From Chilliwack to Clover- dale on the Great Northern is easy survey work and will soon be completed. At no place along the whole line is the grade two per cent. Grading between Midway and Oroville is well on toward completion and the locomotive is expected to reach the latter place in mid-spring. Tunnel work is the only source of any delay that may occur. The grading outfits working as far as MoHon will bet put on the Greenwood branch from Midway as they finish on the main line. Sims & Shield are removing some of their unused plant from Midway to the Columbia river extension to Portland. The C.P.R. has entered an action for $8,000 damages against the Great Northern for dispossessing them of a piece of disputed right-of-way near Midway. ENTERPRISE AND FAITH. A. E. Howse, manager of the Simii,- kameen Star and head of the mercantile company bearing his name with a main and branch house at Nicola and Princeton, respectively, came in from his home last Friday. He reports the weather as being very pleasant and mild this winter, with scarcely enough frost to make good skating on Nicola lake on Christmas day. Mr. Howse is imbued with that spirit of buoyancy which betokens prosperity and encouraging hope of the future. He now sees the ripples preceding that great wave of progress and prosperity which all have with long ing hearts and peering vision scanned the horizon of recent years for. Being an old resident of Nicola and familiar with the Similkameen for many years he notes well the evolution of both districts- from the chrysalis of their existence to their present state of development and progresst%ut the transformation he foresees with the railways here will eclipse anything yet experienced in the great west. Mr. Howse expects to be fully abreast of the times in stock and equipment for the harvest days of trade which all expect to see shortly. His well known enterprise will be manifest in an enlarged and improved STAR with linotype machines, latest presses and material, the whole making a most modern newspaper office—a striking contrast to its present one-man outfit. WORKING ON BREWERY. W. Gosnell, of the Nelson Brewing Co., Nelson, arrived in town last Saturday, his visit being concerned with the building of the brewerv, ground for which has already been purchased and cleared. Work began last Monday morning on the foundation with a gang of men blasting and excavating and as soon as lumber can be hauled on the ground the building proper will be commenced. The carpentry work will be in charge of Harry Swan who, with a skilled staff of workmen, will rush the.work to completion. The building-material will be supplied by the A. E. Howse Co., I/d, which will bring into activity the saw and planing mills of this company and give a gang of woodsmen work at logging. The machinery and plant for the brewery are all in readiness to be delivered as soon as the building is in shape to receive them. In a little more than three months of time beer will be made in Princeton sufficient for all demands. LOCAL NEWS NOTES. The school children were entertained by Miss Schon, teacher, on Thursday night in the court house, at which parents and others were present. Prizes and gifts were distributed and a very pleasant time spent. The dance at J. Thynne's home last week was a very successful event, many driving fifty miles to attend. Eighty- three guests sat down to the much appreciated midnight supper. All agreed that' it was the best time ever experienced in Otter Valley and it was a common remark of those attending : "Oh, we always have a good time at Jack's !" Luke Gibson has just finished threshing his grain which was of excellent yield and sample. The wheat averaged: 35 bushels to the acre. The ice harvest has begun with a crop which is much lighter than average. Miss Lyall, sister of W. C. Lyall, will arrive today by Hedley stage on a visit to relatives. -m Election of three school trustees will be held next Thursday at 11 a.m. in the school house in accordance with the terms of the new education ^ct.

The anchor has been weighed and citizens of Princeton are now sailing out upon the annual voyage adowii the gull of time. As far as human foresight can penetrate, the present year will unfold a chapter of Similkameen history of exciting interestyand the most eventful yet witnessed here. A battle-royal is on between the arrayed forces' of two, mighty railway corporations anfl. the Similkameen is the chosen battle ground. A third railway company has. a charter which', if it be subsidized by the provincial legislature, will also build. Thus, there are three railway propositions having all the statutory qualified tions necessary for construction. They are : The Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern, owned by the Great Northern ; the Canadian Pacific, and the Coast-Kootenay the charter for which is owned by. McLean Bros. The V., V. & E. is building now on a stretch of about ninety miles and the C.P.R. is constructing on about fifty miles from Spence's Bridge and has made a very small beginning from Midway westward. Negotiations are now being made for the Coast-Kootenay 'charter by a large American railway company, which, if reports be true, is seeking an outlet to the Pacific through the Similkameen .'district. President Hill is' building the V.,V. & E. without a dollar of subsidy from either the Dominion government or the B.C. legislature. That fact is enough to make his road immensely^ popular ; beside that he is first to relieve the people here of that' 'splendid' isolation which no entreaty nor petition could prevail upon the local government or the C.P.R. to break. It is the first known instance in Canada of a railroad' being built without a bonus of some' kind. The bitterness with which the construction of, ffiis unsubsidized road is and will be opposed has alrej&dj^ developed some stirring incidents-at Midway. What may- ocqa-r4.when. the race begins in earnest .through the narrow portions of the Simifjpf* rceen valley may we'I^fefy^a^f^g| The negotiations .llaSiFifeH^ejfrway, the acquisition o'3E*-.toWhsite interests dC<<Tlison and the oft averred intention of the C.P.R. to build, coupled with the boasts of its chief officials that it would be the first constructed road into the district, all these facts confirm the general belief that two roads will be actually building this year in this locality. If Princeton is to reap the full benefit of all that is her dne by reason of the choice position she occupies and if she is to get her full share of the business generated by railway construction there must be sleepless care taken to secure it. Above all, there must be united effort on the part of citizens to make the town especially inviting from social and commercial considerations. Nature offers such attractions in mineral wealth, agriculture, and charming landscape that no impressionable person will resist the temptation to locate providing other favoring and important, conditions of making a livelihood are not lacking. Unity and progress should, therefore, be the motto of citizens of Princeton and vicinity. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Frcn Ottawa it is learned that the transcontinental railway commission has been able to say that the greatest grade on the road will be four-tenths of one per cent, which is lower than any other trans-i continental line in America. This announcement finally disposes of those political crjtics who predicted dire failure in any attempt to discover a possible route. By a recent invention telephony will lose one of its most interesting and sometimes, irritating, features —the "hello girls." A Frenchman has devised an automatic switchboard which has displaced many thousands of girls in Paris and a serious labor problem must be solved and provision made for the young women thus thrown out of employment. Could they not be induced to come to British Columbia where there istlack of domestic help and where many bachelors are minus a "better half" and helpmeet ? The provincial legislature will meet on January nth, next Thursday, for the dispatch of business. The premier has had an interview with the presidents of all the railways affecting this province. He will meet the house with an up-to- date railway^ policy up his sleeve. He will cut- the session short and with the consent of the Lieut.- Governor announce general elections. He has lost control of the majority he had last session and his only hope of -life now lies in succor from the bonus-seeking railway corhpanies for campaign purposes. ;.%&Mr\ -Hill can build with-' V V-I*jli$> '- out a bonus surely the C.P.R..and G.T.P. can do so, too. Let every voter oppose bonuses, for they are a curse and only legalized robbery.
