Vol. XI. No. 36. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1910. $2 a Year in Advance » _r MINES AND MINING SilveraLead Properties Wanted in Developing Stage at Present. Whipsaw Camp Offers Good Inducements for Capital—Work at United Empire. Owing to the low price of copper there is today a strong demand for silver-lead properties partially developed and requiring big capital. The Hedley Goldmines Co. employ about 150miners. Jwhap/would Princeton do with such a bi£rT>ayroll ? Leo McMullen returned from the Boundary Tuesday and reports favorably on mining conditions in that section. His samples of ore from the Glacier Peak country, Skagit, were eagerly viewed by mining men, the native silver showing plainly. The ""assay gave 23 ozs silver. Yz oz. gold, and 30 p.c. lead. All that the owners McMullen and Snowden, want now is a wagon road, the ore will do the rest. Chas. Graham, superintendent of the Princeton Coal aud Land Co's mine, will leave tomorrow for Nanaimo, having re signed his position here. During his term much improvement and development were carried out underground. As an official he was both popular and efficient and carries away with him the esteem and good wishes of citizens. Sam Spencer and wife came in from Whipsaw Monday and speaks glowingly of his mineral property there. He expects to put in the winter at work in the camp. Some very fine specimens of zinc ore, very high grade, from his property, will be sent to the Nelson Expo and from there to the Spokane Fair. Billy Knight found gold in his well while cleaning it out the other day. No use in talking, if a man's luck runs that way, he will find gold and silver any old place. Up in Whipsaw Knight & Day have found the real thing and all they want is a road to begin hauling to Princeton for shipment to the smelter. Jack Crowley is down from Whipsaw the first time in months, and is enthusiastic over the prospects of that camp. James Holden, of Hosmer, arrived yesterday to assume the duties of superintendent of the Princeton Coal and Land Co's mine, made vacant by Mr. Graham's resignation. COLD WAVE IS GENERAL. This seems to be an off year all over the western half of the continent, insofar as climate and crops are affected. The recent sudden drop in temperature in Princeton was general all over the west. In Denver, Col., a thousand miles south of Princeton, the temperature iowered 13 degrees in 10 minutes, and 49 in 7 hours. According to United States Weather Forecaster Brandenburg, the sudden change in temperature was caused by atmospheric disturbances resulting from the contest between the hot air from the fire-swept districts and the snow covered mountains of the continental divide. At 6 p.m. in Cheyenne, Wyo., the thermom eter registered 38, the lowest on the weather map. In view of the foregoing it is not at all surprising that frost was felt at Princeton, but this is not the normal condition of the climate here, as some would try to make out. THE UNITED EMPIRE. Railway Spur to be Laid for Cement Works and Coal Mine. The United Empire is runn^g t. T<_* shifts every 24 h""rs "% the new tunnel, thetild. one having been abandoned on account of the dangerous nature of the soil in caving. The United Empire will be ready to ship coal as soon as the spur is laid from the main line of the V.,V; & E. to the mine. The coal will be mined at a depthj__fabout_2oo feet and is of a splendid quality, being sitoiTSf to the Princeton fuel. The cement works to be constructed are located near the coal mine and will consume some_fifty tons of its product each day for roasting and steaming purposes. While the cement works is a separate proposition and will operate under a Dominion company charter yet some of the United Empire people are identified with its inception and will further the scheme vigorously. In connection with these two large undertakings of mining and manufacturing a townsite will be laid out and thus the foundation begun on which to rear a large frontier—city. All the adjuncts of a real live town will be introduced and its proximity to Princeton instead of beiug a detriment will act as a wholesome incentive to development and activity, the citizens of both places dwelling in harmony and unity of purpose, building up the country generally, thus aiding individual prosperity and progress, iwt. Grand Forks Gazette : When you hear a man sneering at the local paper because it is not big, cheap and newsy as the city papers, you can safely bet he is either in debt to the paper or he does not squander any of his wealth in assisting to make it better and that generally the paper has done more for him than he has for it. The man who cannot appreciate the local newspaper at its worth in boosting alone is about as much value to a town as a delinquent tax list. Bridge street sidewalks are being built by the yard to be worn out by the foot. LOCAL AND GENERAL Labor Day is next on Annual Program—Forest Fires Die Down. Waterworks Construction in Full Swing—Hospital Building is Fine Structure. Labor Day will be celebrated next Monday in Hedley and an inviting program of sports has been issued. A number of Princetonians are going as spec tators, while a shooting and football contingent will go down to show how it is done. Forest fires that turned the heavens black with smoke have died out and the atmosphere is again normal. Mr. and Mrs. Henry of Vancouver arrived last Saturday over the Hope trail on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. McDougall. They met with - two or three inches of fresh snow on the summit. Mr. Henry is one of the faculty of McGill. It is a subject of repeated query why there should be any difference in the rent of telephone instruments along the government line. In some tciwns it is said that the rent is as low as $ 1 per month. Why this discrimination ? J. R. Campbell has gone to Ft. George and expects to start up in the drug business there. H. Massonat, still ill in a Spokane hospital from the effects of a second surgical operation, has not made as good progress as was hoped and Mrs. Massonat has re turned from his bedside to conduct the jewelry and watchmaking business. Podunk Davis has re-covered the bridges at Twelve and Fourteen mile creeks on the Hope trail, which makes good going to the Summit. He is now putting up a bridge at the '23' on the Sumallow. Bo.ard of trade regular meeting will be postponed on account of Labor Day from next Monday evening to the following Monday at 8 o'clock. Tony Ditzio, the Italian who stabbed his compatriot, Dominic Motia, at Mad- den's No. 2 camp two weeks ago, is still held on remand by Magistrate Thomas, pending the recovery of the wounded man. Special Constable Martin arrested the prisoner. Constable Ewart has under surveillance a horse thief who, it is believed, ran off a horse in a band being driven toward Ashcroft. The civic waterworks being laid down by the Princetou Coal & Land Co., will soon have the pipe distributed throughout the business center. The reservoir tanks have the substructure in place and | the receiving and distributing mains will shortly be connected.' The pumping machinery ana tanks remain to be installed. R. G. Belvidere left yesterday for Penticton, where he has a good position. He reports that town quite lively and prosperous owing to the railway possibilities of the near future. Some persons spend minutes in charity and months advertising it. Miss Manly, teacher, returned today from her vacation trip to Edmonton, Alberta and Clinton. Bert Irwin is making good headway on the hospital and will have it ready well within the specified time. Superintendent Morgan of the Great Northern accompanied by other officials' and mining men, was in town Saturday in his private car and took a look over the Princeton Coal and Land Co's coal mine. GAME REGULATIONS. The following regulations for shboting and hunting game will be of interest to local sportsmen : Blue and willow grouse and ptarmigan may be killed between the 1st of September and 31st of December. Prairie chicken during the month of October, only. Duck, geese and snipe may be killed between the 1st of September and the 28th of February. The above fowl may be offered for sale during the months of October and November only. Deer may be killed between the 1st of September and the 15th of December. Deer may be sold between the 1st of September and November 15th. No boy under 16 years of age is allowed to carry firearms unaccompanied by parent or guardian. 1 PIERRE OF THE PLAINS.' The play, 'Pierre of the Plains,' rendered before a large audience last Friday night, was full of interest, especially to those who are familiar with thehalfbreed of the plains, the naked walls of the roadhouse, the riders and the usual characters one would find hanging atound'an outpost or fort of some twenty and five years ago. The author comes very near to drawing the real life of all his impersonations. Pierre is probably higher minded than the typical halfbreed, for the commingling of the redskin and paleface usually produced in their progeny the worst features of both. Harold Nelson made a very real and effective halfbreed in language and manner, and Grace Johnson was a capital 'Jen.' The author of 'Pierre of the Plains,' Sir Gilbert Parker, should be able to find material for a good breezy play depicting the simple, western, life in the Similkameen, where Rattlesnake Pete, Bill Miner and Major this and Colonel that, have made history. Altogether the show was exceptionally good. THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR August 31, 1910. The Similkameen Star. J. M.

Independent of every shade of political belief a hearty reception is given everywhere to Premier Laurier, now the guest of this province. That is at it should be, and further, it is due him as a faithful, eminent and competent statesman. He has devoted a long life to the service ot his country in which he has been singularl}' free from any personal taint. His conduct has been exemplary for the army of public servants under him. GEO.

What exposures of graft aud thieving in the departments at Ottawa, of which everyone has read. And if it occurs under the very nose of ministers at the capital, where the leaven of corruption seems to be centralized, what must the rottenness and incompetency be in.public offices far away from the seat of government ? In some of the departments the ministers are powerless to check evils and the public have to suffer. One instance out of many may be -cited where officialism dominates and the minister has to obey. The superintendent of the Dominion telephone line, Mr. Stevens, holds two positions, one for the government and the other for a private line, drawing pay from both. How can this man serve two masters? Naturally, where his affections are, that is where his money is invested, he will render the best service. The public know how well their interests and convenience have been served. Sir Wilfrid laid great stress on the Oriental question in his Vancouver speech indicating that it was the cause of Liberal losses in B.C. The Oriental question is important and the restrictive law as it now is gives general satisfaction in B.C. The 'question' was not an issue in last general election. But Sir Wilfrid is statesman enough to now make it an issue, so as not to disclose the real cause of Liberals falling away. That 'real cause' is graft, bossism, favoritism, poor public service resulting from incompetent servants, 'coarse work' of the previous Liberal M P's, etc. And there will be a greater falling away if the Augean stables are not cleaned out before next election.

Some complaining ones in and around Prippgton who declare fruit and vegetables cannot be grown here owintj to tbe altitude should not speak unadvisedly or unknowingly. No one but a 'freak' would condemn the country that has been kind to him because the frost nipped his spuds in a 2x4 garden or played ' havoc with a tender vine. The Nelson Daily News of the 25th inst. has the following about farming in high altitudes. (The altitude of Princeton is about 2000 feet.) : j The experience of ranchers near Ross- laud indicates that improved lands situated 3500 feet above sea level and over are already demonstrating their value as revenue producers in a remarkable way. A few miles from Rossland Mr. Peters has a farm of 250 acres of which 50 are improved. From this 50 he has sold 125 tons of hay at $26 per ton, and from a raspberry patch he has sold 300 crates of ■the fruitvaf $3 per crate. Some weeks LICENCE TO AN EXTRA-PROVINCIAL, COMPANY.
