Plausible Prejudices Regarding Copper Carbonates Explained by Mining Expert. The following extracts from a long article in the Boundary Creek Times by Horace F. Evans, M.E., will be of inter est to readers of the Star: That valuable . deposits of copper have been found in the Similkameen district and that to a limited extent the conditions of occur rences are but imperfectly understood, admit of little doubt. This condition of mining exploration, however, is not limited to the field under consideration. It is a condition that belongs to the early stage of mineral exploration and it disappears as soon as an impetus is given to the mineral industry by the legitimate demands of the trade. It is only wben the "Captains of Industry" determine that additional territory must be explored and if found to possess mineral of com mercial value, that a proper stimulus to the industry is given. Therefore, the genuine stimulus to the mineral industry is not wild speculation or the gambler's estimate of mining, but the true progress that is due to legi i- mate effort which is the' result of the mentable law that governs supply and demand. Among other valuable mineral deposits in the Similkameen division known to prospectors, explorers and others, are certain deposits of copper which appear to possess defined stratigraphical relations are the copper deposits of Aspen Grove, those of Five-Mile creek near Princeton, and those on Copper and Kennedy mountains. There is, I find, a prejudice against copper carbonates, whether blue or green, it makes no difference. This prejudice is shared in by the learned scientist from the class room as well as by the rustler from "Khandyohi." Copper carbonates are designated by some engineers as stains, as if the rock in which they are found is cu'ltus, and should be shunned by the prospector. This is only another sample of prejudice that we meet in the mountains and in great centers of population. Copper carbonates are simply the decomposed material of former sulphides—the resid ual of these. They are secondary minerals and result from the decomposition of the sulphides. They are sometimes referred to as "stains," and this reference is made as if the " stains " were very disgraceful. The word stain is objectionable, a8 it leads to misconception. A carbonate is an oxide—the oxidation product of a sulphide. It is an ore and not a stain. Its presence, of course, does not always indiaate a sulphide zone, but its presence on great surfaces and throughout an old senimentary formation is very likely to lead to a "bary- sphere" or sulphide zone, assumsng that stratigraphical relations have not been greatly faulted, interrupted or entirely destroyed, or unless the sediments are mere roots in the -first place, resting on granite or older igneous rocks. Recent investigations made on Esche- lon mountain between Five-Mile creek and the Similkameen river, prove the occurrence of copper in various forms, but chiefly as chalcopyrite or some oxidation product thereof, in old calcareous sediments associated with which are V0I7 canics, both of which are of pre-cetace- ous date. I am informed by Robert Stevenson that the strike of the rocks on this mountain is north and south and can be traced for a number of miles. MINING NOTES. The copper market is strong and a good volume of business is being done. It is selling at 18% cents. The consumptive demand is clearly of sufficient volume to absorb all the present production of the world's mines at current prices, and the outlook is favorable that this situation will continue- for a long time to come, probably during the greater part of the year 1907. Uhler & Cox, are hammering away on their mineral properties on Five-Mile to some purpose, for they have showings that anybody would be proud of. They are real captains of industry, with their sinewy arms and stout hearts, and will, no doubt, reap a generous reward in big returns when they begin to ship. Copper shareholders will receive several million dollars in dividends during the mouths of August and September. Included in the amounts will be $2,680,- 000 from Amalgamated, $2,000,000 from Calumet & Hecla, $800,000 from North Butte, and $400,000 from Granby Consolidated. The influence of such dividend payments can hardly fail to make the stock market active. The Nickel Plate mine at Hedley has now in its employ about 70 men. Geo. Aldous and Joe Marshall were in town this week from Aspen Grove. Mr. Bell, a mining expert, accompanied them and the party went to Copper mountain to inspect some mining claims there. They report considerable development work going on in Aspeu Grove and the camp has a very encouraging outlook. The' Stemwinder at Fairview is now in process of extensive development. A gang of men are layjng the foundation alongside the 46-stamp mill for a large air compressor. The mine has been shut down for a year and reopens with good prospects ahead. TOWN AND DISTRICT Waifs and Strays put into Sentences and Paragraphs for Readers. In Comparative Sense Princeton Mineral District is High Grade. Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving Day falls on the 18th of October, the third Thursday in the month. Chas. Camsell, Dominioi**-geologist, passed through town this week en route to Bear creek. Mr. Camsell has been obliged to suspend topographical work on account of dense smoke. His impressions thus far are that this district is of higher grade in ore than the Boundary country. Revely's special stage will leave here for the Labor Day celebration at Hedley on Sunday afternoon, returning Wednesday. Fare for round trip, $5. The drouth, now covering a period of eight weeks, is the longest known here. The earth is dry as powder and the heat oppressive Fires are raging on One and Five-Mile creeks which ranchers had to fight. To the southwest of Princeton a large scope of country is in flames. Feed is becoming very scarce. Wm. Lowe, one of the cattle kings of the Similkameen, has recently rounded up a hundred head of prime beef cattle which he will drive to Greenwood maiket. Dr. Mathison, dentist, leaves for Nicola tomorrow where he expects to practice for about ten days. Don't forget Labor Day celebration at Hedley beginning next Monday. A good programme of sports and events has been arranged. Religious worship tomorrow in the court house at usual honrs conducted by Rev. E. H. Bartlett. C. E. Thomas and J. R Campbell leave today for the coast, going via Hope Pass. A school house, a lock-up and a road up Twenty-Mile are government works to be carried out at Hedley immediately. It looks like election time. What about the school house at Princeton ? The game season opens today and local Nimrods have their shooting irons all furbished and ready for action. Grouse and duck are sure to receive particular attention, while deer, goat and sheep will have to lie low or lose their skins. Killing rattlesnakes seems to be quite a diversion in the lower Similkameen where they are quite plentiful this year. No rattlesnakes have ever been observed within ten miles of Princeton. It is supposed that the soil aud the winter frosts are not favorable to their habits in this section, hence they give it a wide berth. There are several cases of typhoid at Keremeos. H. Webb, of Princeton, is a patient there with the disease, but. at last report he was improving. The Star has received an unsigned article on the '' Cemetery Site." It is a legal requirement, generally enforced in newspaper offices, that communications must be accompanied by the signature of the author, otherwise it goes to the waste basket. The article in question will be printed, gladly, when signed. School opened on Monday last with a good attendance iof scholars. The hot weather, with the crowded condition of the school, makes the small room more like an oven than an apartment in which children should live. After the health of the children has been impaired the government may wake up to the necessity of a new school house and build one. The Victoria Colonist has evidently waged its pro-Chinese agitation to some purpose. It appears that a controlling interest in it has been procured bv some wealthy Chinamen who will make use of it to advocate reduction of the poll tax, which is now prohibitive of any influx of Mongolians. Dan Morrison, foreman for the B.C. Copper. Co., is laid np at Greenwood with a mild type of typhoid. THAT CEMETERY SITE. The intimation made in last week's Star that a cemetery site was proposed on the banks of the Similkameen lias raised many vigorous protests • from people interested. The very suggestion of putting a graveyard on a low bank of the river seems so absurd and unreasonable that some have thought the fathers of the idea did not, in reality, have that object in view, but the selfish one of acquiring it for themselves or a friend. Be that as it may, the party or parties having land adjoining the proposed burial plot were justified by every legal, legitimate and moral right to protect themselves from a nuisance which would depreciate the value of land there and endanger health, and that protection was. obtained by staking the land. RAILWAY RUMBLINGS. Steel has now been laid over the big Myers creek trestle wbe^re there was a long delay and the track is expected to be at Molson today. Molson is 27 miles from Oro. Much better time is expected to be made on this stretch. J. H. Kennedy, chief engineer, was at Keremeos this week, returning to Midway. Surveys in Hope mountains are making good progress. The trail cutters have finished and returned. V THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR September i, 1906 The Similkameen Sta* Published Weekly at PRINCETON, B.C. —BY— The Princeton Publishing Co. A. E. Howse, Manager.

It : will be enough to say that the writer landed in Princeton first in the fall of 1902 while on a tour of the world with a partner who had tender feet." A pair of blankets, a gun1 . nysaek and a tomato can was all our possessions. So favorable were- my impressions of the place that -decision was made then and there that if an abiding place was ever to bq.made in this world ifewould be in Princeton. Another year or, so of wandering, working as cook, ..fisherman,', .cowboy, ;.&c, then my; loadstone drew me back to this town where I hope to remain a loyal' and respectable ^citizen^ - As to.tbe; cause of'tery separation from the' Star it is fully and correctly .set: forth ©n.: page-6i;.^ •'^■4. . ;,Xhe difficulties-of running a one- man' '"'newspaper in an' outpost "of •c|vili^.aLtion,, where .editor, printer and•■'"devil"- form the trinity in one which performs all- the work and- takes all the" kicks, cannot be appreciated until tried, j Any independence of writing is sure to incur the hostility of the toadies and the old grannies.. In their opinion nothing should enter the columns of the paper unless their fogey views are, pandered to. Well, the Star nor any other paper willuot accomplish much for the public good if it is not perfectly free to express its •opinion about any company, corporation, politician or party.

A better loca-i tion for^the, school could.hajdjy-.be suggested than at Princet©ft-where there is such diversity of-'Minerals and opportunities for practical demonstration and fe'search. The electric process* of smelting magnetic iron ores at Sault Ste. Mane has ,. attracted considerable attention by reason of its success. The enterprise of the Dominion government in making a thorough test of the process has elicited much favorable comment." Projects are already begun for "establishing the electric smelting industry in Canada by Pittsburg capitalists. J. H. Hawthornthwaite, M.P.P., fully intended to visit the Similkameen and deliver himself of Socialistic views and explanation of his strange anti-Social practices in the legislative assembly, but his comrades turned him back. Well done, comrades ! It is such men as Hawthornthwaite that ruin political parties and it is well to send them away to an early doom. The Railway Commission has ordered that the C.P.R. shall no longer be allowed to discriminate against coast cities in favor of eastern points. The rope of monopoly which nearly strangled people of B. C. to death, is breaking. ' NOTICE.

Suiting action to those words, the advertisement of the .V.F.M. Co., which' usually occupies this page, was ordered out of the Star on the following day. That is not the first time Mr. Waterman has ordered an advertisement out of the Star with even less provocation or reason. There is much that ought to be said in honest criticism of the management of the V.F.M. Co., if possible, by that means instilling new life and energy into the purely " ornamental" dignitaries who draw pay from it; but neither the time nor the opportunity is ripe for me. Since I am the object of the V.F.M. manager's particular revenge by ordering out the advertisement, and, in . view of the pecuniary loss to the Star, I have tendered my resignation to Mr. Howse, who is yet to be heard from. I do not desire to, even if I could, stand in the way of any patronage to it for it is certainly in need of all it can get. The vindictive manager is welcome to all the revenge he can get out of the contretemps. I learned years ago, ■ as an itinerant printer, to take the loss of a job as foreboding something better. That happy mood has grown with the increase 1 of years. As we printers say, 130 is in," "the jig is up." So far as I am now' personally concerned the printer-scribbler has crossed the bar of journalistic fate and will try his luck at something else. Yours hopefnllyt J. M. WriohT. Princeton, Aug. 31,1906. \
