Report of the executive committee in which Mr. Shatford, M.P.P., was requested to urge on the government the necessity for improving the road to Hedley at the earliest moment. Letters were also sent to Messrs. Munro and Henderson, M.P.Ps., re Summit camp trail and the One Mile road. Secretary was instructed to write Desbarats & Co. re folders. Resignation of Mr. Groves from health committee accepted. Report was adopted. Report of health committee re scavenging in which C.

Resolved : That the Princeton board of trade is' in accord with the movement among laborers to make eight hours a statutory day's work in Canada, and would respectfully ask the Department of Labor to exercise its influence in that . behalf. Carried. A motion was carried accepting the offer of the school trustees to use the old school house as a board of trade room. The question of sidewalks in the town was discussed, it being stated that the government should appropriate money and assist in the building of them, as a large amount of taxes and trade and license money were taken from the town yearly and no adequate return made. It was suggested that a subscription be taken up from the property holders and business men of the town, which, if not sufficient to make the necessaiy sidewalks a further sum could be raised by some form of entertainment. The whole matter of sidewalks was left to the executive committee which body appointed P. (Continued on page 3.) CHANGE IN MAILS. The official announcement has been made by the C. P.

The schedule as drawn up provides for 3 trains weekly each way, leaving Spences Bridge at 8 a. m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and arriving at Nicola at 11 a. m. The return trips will be made the same days, leaving Nicola at 2 p. m. and reaching Spences Bridge at 5 p. m. With the present schedule on'the main line, the branch line schedule will entail waits at Spences Bridge going both directions.

GRANITE CREEK EIRE. Historic Old Cam? Described with Pathos—No Insurance. Editor Star—Sir: With the passing of Granite creek the last monument of the golden age of placer mining in the Similkameen has passed away and the miner of the future will not be able to see even a remnant of what was once a town sporting 17 saloons, a government office, a temple of justice and a large number of miners' cabins with the latch string banging on the outside to notify the traveller that high-souled hospitality awaited him on the inside. Many of the old timers have crossed the Great Divide and to those who are still living, the gay old days of placer mining, with its golden harvest and high jinks, is but a memory. But all things that are built by human hands must go up in smoke or crumble beneath the heavy hand of time. But if all signs do not fail Granite creek will, phoenix-like, rise from her ashes, beautiful in a new youth, and more gorgeous than in the palmy days of '85 and '86. The fire that swept this relic of a bygone industry out of existence originated in Mr. Cook's house, which was a combination of store and dwelling, and was caused by the stove pipe setting the cloth lining of the room on fire, and spreading so rapidly that but little stock could be saved and the family had only time to save themselves. The Granite creek hotel was the next to go, but DeBarro saved most of his goods and is now established in a new temple of Bacchns farther up the street and is in a position to accommodate the travelling public. The latch string is still on the outside of the "Judge's" door. Om> Timer. Granite Creek, April 7. Dr. Higginbotham, dentist, will be in Princeton for a few days, having arrived yesterday. He is prepared to do all classes of dental work. Arrange appointments at once. CREEPING UP VALLEY Tracklaying this Side of the International Line is Being Done. Neither C.P.R. Nor High Water will Delay the V.,V.&E. Laying to Keremeos. Real, authentic information regarding the progress of tracklaying on the V., V. & E has been received first hand from C. Summers, who returned Thursday from a trip to Keremeos and beyond. He was on the grade at the boundary line last Monday and was told the track was about four miles distant at thai time. At this present hour the tracklaying gang should be a mile on the B.C. side of the line, The site of the bridge crossing the Similkameen at Armstrong's is expected to be reached the latter part of next week. Two pile-driving and bridge crews will be employed in throwing the bridge across the river, which is about 350 feet wide, with about 600 feet of approaches. This wont will be carried on without cessation until completed and then a dash will be made for Keremeos. That point reached contractors will immediately begin construction. Engineer Milliken is camped near Allison on the south side of the Similkameen, having moved there recently. He has been revising the line to near Keremeos. J. H. Kennedy, chief engineer of construction, was in Princeton Wednesday and states that he expects to have the bridge at Armstrong completed before high water. He could not state where engineer headquarters would be until the contractors were at work. He is desirous that the track should be in Princeton at as early a date as possible and has stated that the railway company will require fifty tons of coal daily from the Vermilion Forks Co. when the track reaches here. LOCAL NEWS NOTES. This is the latest spring for some years in the Similkameen ; cold nights and raw days being the rule. Dave Sketchley has begun mining on the Allison group, in which Os Coulthard is largely interested, and has taken in supplies to Ashnola for season's work. "Jim" Hill is reported to be on his way into Princeton for the purpose of opening up a business. Contractor Burrill will soon have everything in shape for the Oddfellows hall which will be comfortable and cosy. The underpinning of the ante room has been reinforced with a truss in the Star office which will afford rigidity and safety for the fellows as well as prevent a possible breakdown of the floor and a mix-up of the devil and the goat. Geo. McCoskery and W. J. Kirkpat- rick have gone to the coast via Tulameen. E. P. Wheeler, who was on his way to Princeton, was taken ill at Spokane and is now in the hospital. Mr. Wheeler is interested in the Gladstone mine at Friday creek. The following persons have been appointed commissioners for taking affidavits under the Provincial Elections Act: George Goldsburough William C. McDougall, George Wardle, Princeton; Perley Russell, Granite Creek; W. J. Henderson, Otter Flat; George Mc- Cullough, Edward B. Tingley and Duncan McPhail, of Otter Valley; SEEMS LIKE CRUSOE. Not Good for Man to be Alone—Road is Very Much Needed. 'Podunk' Davis returned to town this week after having been absent about fonr months in a very lonely place feeding cattle for Luke Gibson. Away out at Osprey Lake, some twenty miles from the nearest habitation, Podunk put in some of the loneliest hours of his life. He was forty days and nights without seeing or hearing the sound ofa fellow being. He had a name for each one of his cattle and they all recognized his musical call when it was forage time and he often talked to them and himself in whiling away the hours. All the stock pulled through in fine condition, there being no lack of hay. When the government builds a good wagon road into this section there will be no necessity for anyone to play Robinson Crusoe all by his 'lonesome' for tbe land is inviting to settlers and there are mineral surroundings. Mr. Davis looks fat and sleek and only for his Van Winkle whiskers no one would think he had been beyond the pale of civilization for so long. Podunk is waiting for the railway, as is the case with many others, and sees great chunks of prosperity for everybody on its reaching Princeton. It would not take a large sum of money to extend the Five-Mile road to Osprey Lake and from there to Summerland on Okanagan lake. This road has been the subject of petition and agitation for years but, as yet, nothing has been accomplished. The petition recently sent to the government for a road to Osprey lake should have a favorable answer. To complete the road to the head of Trout creek would open up communication with two rich sections—the one mineral and the other fruit. Mr. Shatford has an opportunity to open up a fine section of country and to make good his professions from the political platform that he had the progress and development of the country at heart.

COAL AND WATER POWER Beside the scenic iMgari Uj Princeton, which often impress the visitor to the exclusion of the utilitarian purposes for which it is eminently adapted, there are the mineral and manufacturing resources: If one takes into consideration the fact that there are immediately at hand two unlimited power gener- ■gpr ating resources, coal and water, which need only to be harnessed or converted into force, then tbe importance of this place becomes an indisputable reality. Situated in what may be termed a colossal amphitheater or basin, at the junction of two riversithere is an abundance of energy running to. waste from these and the tributary creeks in this vicinity. The natural fall of the rivers is nearly forty feet per mile, constituting volumes of en-' ergy sufficient to supply all demands for manufacturing purposes. Cheapness and steadiness, of application are features which recommend j water power and its product; elec- t.icity, to manufacturers. Hydroelectric power is easily distributed over a large area and from a center such as Princeton the various mines hereabouts could be operated by this, power. The sub-bituminous coal, which underlies ' Princeton is also a very cheap j generator of power, the initial expense in connection j with which would, no -. doubt, be much cheaper than that - of water. It is very fortunate for I this place that there are two such enormous sources of latent or sleeping power for manufacturers, smelt- ereifej$?f'mill owners and others to choose from. An invitation to all interested in. manufacturing projects is extended for a visit to this section and a personal examination made of'the coal and water power producing conditions. There is money in them. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. NOTICE. Tust now a great deal of interest CTR.iYED to my place in November, one sorrel "" '-' two-year-old mare, branded on neck F.

' Ajt present not many claims have been ex plored to a depth lower than the limit of •surface oxidation, but it may be possible to throw more light on origin-of the ore bodies, when the numerous samples ob tained have been thoroughly examined .'under the microscope. Owing to the nature of the occurrence of the ore on Copper mountain it is a dif fieult matter to estimate of the average valuesMlnat the rock would give on assay. The, ore bodies have no definite boujtfcd aries. in fact the whole m -untain is rtfore or lsjss. mineralized, wit]tiiCQH.ceritration taking place' along certain lines, and jWhat is classed as ore to-day may be too low grade to give a profit to-mqr-$w, depending altogether on the price of copper and the cost of miniug. The boundaries then will be merely commercial ones Mf. W. F. Robertson made assays of sam- @es fro'm many gf'the different claims in igor, and the' results he obtained were from \}i to 3 per cent in copperof average samples, with selected samples going up to 8 per cent. Mostyof them carried small amount in gold. It will be seen hy this that these ore bodies are very low grade, but this i? compensated for by iheir great size, and the ease,.with which they can be worked. In tngjrountry lying between Onemile and Fivemile effeiks, and on the slope of Fivemile cree.fc^everal claims have been located, but oriffe-the western portion of this area came Sathi'n the area examined. The United Empire group, consisting of nine claims, is cm Allison mountain, and occursin the same series of metamorphosed sediments as on-eKennedy mountain. The whole hill is heavily covered with wash and the rock wherever exposed is deemposed^o a^nuch greater extent than in any other part of the'qountry, due perhaps to a covering of volcanic fl jws during the glacial period, which prevented the decomposed r<?ck from being removed |b$tlhe scouring action ofthe glacier.

(Continued from page 3.) rying chalcopyrite occur in the decomposed rock. It is probable that there is a vein of quartz carryiug copper sulphides at this place, but not enough work has bee done to demonstrate the size ofthe vein or its strike. Surface indications, however, point to its having an east and west strike across the strike ofthe fracture planes on Copper mountain. At the end of the season a hurried ie- connaissance was made of a mineralized belt of rocks running from the Tulameen river at Champion creek northward past the head of Bear creek to the Coldwater river. Some very promising mining properties are being exploited in tnis region, and this belt of rock well warrants a more extended study next year. Briefly stated, the geological conditions are as follows:-Stretching across in a Northerly direction from the mouth of Champion creek to the head of the Cold- water is a belt of light coloured granite. In contact with this on the east side is a series'of metamordhosed sediments, limestone, quartzite and schists* extending from the Coldwater river to the Fish lakes. From the Fish lakes to the forks of Eagle creek the granite is in contact with a dike like mass of peridotite a mile to two miles wide, which then strikes southeasterly at a sharp angle with the strike of the granite. In this angle between the granite and the • peridotite is another small area of quartzite, limestone and mica schist, which extends south to the Tulameen river aud terminates at Champion creek. Bordering the peridot ite and schists on the east is a large body of pyroxenite, which extends from the falls on Bear creek, where the waggon road crosses it, southward across the Tulameen river, where it comes in con tact with granite. The pyroxenite is succeeded on the east by enormous masses of volcanic rocks, which have undergone considerable metamorphism, and are earlier in age than those volcanic rocks previously referred to in this report as occurring on the Similkameen river Dikes of diabase, quartz porphyry, granite-porphyry and rhyolite cut all tbe other rocks, and consequently . are later in origin. Contacts between the granite and schists between the granite and peridotite, and between the schists and peridotite and pyroxenite, were discovered and studied in the field, and from these the geological relations were worked out.
