PER YEAR : $2, Cash Single Copy, 5c Early Completion of Railways==Contractors on the Ground \f7--—^4-*^ WHIPSAW ORE IS RICH Princeton Coal & Land Co. Requires Wider Field with Railways. Whipsaw has Sensational Ore Showings—B.C. Copper Co. Dividends —Mining Notes. The Princeton Coal & Land Co., the pioneer coal producing company of the Similkameen, will have a wider field for its output when the Kettle Valley and V. V. & E railways reach the coast and the Okanagan district. This company has invested some $75,000 in au uptodate plant, with a capacity of 500 tons daily. Its roal is the best domestic yet produced in Canada, and is onl\' waiting transport ation facilities to supply the coast with a clean, high healing fuel. The company will undoubtedly make good with such an excellent fuel, and a large payroll must result from the demand for increased output in the immediate future. The B. C Copper C". is taking advantage of the favorable weather conditions, and each shining hour adds much to the general development of the Voigt camp. Buildings and mining operations are evidence of the good faith of the company. Mr. and Mrs. S Spencer returned from the S. & M. group, Whipsaw camp, where they have recently completed a tunnel 134 feet in length The are gratified with the result of their labors, and ruly, the samples shown, from 20 feet of ore in the face, whuld justify a feeling of se ene satisfaction. In the first 54 feet, 12 feet of ore was struck, which assayed $60 per ton. At 88 feel from the tunnel mouth the main ledge was struck and solid ore marks the character and condition of the body thus far pierced Some thirty feet yet remain to be driven in order to reach the indicated extent of the ledge. The development shows 15 feet of the ledge broken off; farther on, the solidity of the ore matter unquetsionably reveals the ledge, and the fonudations of a mine discovered. The ore shows silver chloride, of a blue green color, wavy in appearance, and will readily scale or cut. This chloro-br_mide form of silver is found in the rich silver mines of Chili and Peru. For the present, water in the tunnel has stopped further work. When the road which is now building by the government is completed to Whipsaw camp the S & M. will begin shipping and mining ou a progressive scale undertaken. The Columbia Coal & Coke Co., of Coalmont, is reported to have sold stock amounting to #999,000, with which to push on development work. The immense strata ot excellent bituminous coking coal have been photographed by J. J. Priest, some lorty exposures having been secured. Negotiations pending for the sale of the United Empire mine on Onemile are moving toward* a conclusion, and active operations are expected soon. John Malone and John Lucy were at Leadville camp last week and speak very highly of the work in progress aud of the visible supply of ore. Kruger mountain properties, near Oroville, are being vigorously developed The ore will be shipped to the Granby smelter. During July the Granby company pro duced 1,802.753 pounds of copper, 25,348 ounces of silver.and 3,989 gold. The B.C. Copper company has declared a dividend of 15 cents a share, payable October 15, aggregating $88,726.35. This is the second dividend year, a similar amount having been disbursed in Augus', and makes the total dividends to dale $526,643.35. Smelting 27,879 tons of ore last week, the Granby company established a new record in the treatment of ores at its big reduction works in this city, the figures indicating the smelting of several hundred tons more than that for any previous seven days in the history of Granby. C. O. Day and H. H. Avery, Jr., have been at Whipsaw doing assessment work on the latter's mineral claims. W. C. McDougall was at Whipsaw last week obtaining ore samples from the S. & M. group. James Gray, manager for the Nicola Valley Coal & Coke Co., has accepted a similar position for the North Bull colliery, near Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. T. W. 'Powell, mine superintendent for the Columbia Coal & Coke Co., now developing their large deposits at Coalmont, has contributed an article to 'Coal Age' on 'Mining a Thick Vertical Coal Seam,' in the issue of August 17. GOOD FOE 'BULLDOG.' The mineral exhibit at the Vancouver exhibition this month, particulars and an illustration of which are given on another page, was a marked improvement upon that of last year, and attracted a great deal of attention. Much praise for the good work done in this most important matter is due to Mr. H. B (Bulldog) Brown, of Vancouver and the Similkameen, whose untiring efforts in the direction of securing greater publicity for British Columbia's chief -indnstry have placed every mining man in the province in his debt. Mr. Brown will continue his good work at the forthcoming Nelson and Spokane exhibitions, and a demand is being voiced iu the Victoria press for a similar exhibit to be put on there.—Mining Exchange. V.V., & E. MOVES ON Hopes Revive with Arrival of Contractors, and Dirt 'Will Fly/ Forty-Two Miles Let to Gnthrie, McDougall & Co., to be Finished July, 1913 The contract for the construction of about 42 miles of railway between Coal mont and Coquihalla summit has been awarded by the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern Railwav company to Guthrie, McDougall & Co. Work, according to the terms of the contract, must be completed by July, next. The contractors will get their men and equipment on the work in the next few days. Wiih this strip of lailroad completed by Jul}' 1, 1913. early completion of the remainder of the strip from Coquihalla summit into Hope is predicted. The latter piece of road is that which the Great Northern and Kettle Valley lines wish to build and which the railway commission now has before it foi consideration. Until the railway commissioners act, the completion of the line from the summit to Hope is a matter of conjecture. It is probable that with the decision of the railway commission will come the announcement from the Canadian Pacific railway as to where the bridge across the Fraser river, connecting the main line of the Canadian Pacific railwav and the Kettle Valley line, will be built. There are two sites in mind now, one at Hope and the other at Ruby creek. In the estimation of engineers who are familiar with the country in that vicinity, Hope is the logical posi tion for the bridge. The amount of the contract just, closed by Guthrie, McDougall & Co., is said to be about $1,500,000. The Kettle Valley railway construction graders are within a mile of Osprey lake, about 20 miles from Princeton. W. C. J. Seymour, engineer for the K. V., is camped 19 miles from Hope and will work in Coquihalla pass all winter. IN SADDLE 450 MILES. . F. McHardy, a well known Nelson sine~s man, and R. C. Waterson, a Floridian orange grower, arrived in Princeton Saturday, enroule to Vancouver, traveling the distance on horseback. The hotses were in fair condition on their arrival here, aud, as there were no forced marches, the animals should siand the strain to Chilliwack, where the gentlemen will dismount and finish the journey on the electric horse. Both gentlemen are combining business with pleasure, and on return to their homes will have a fund of first hand information that will be of use to them aud their friends. They were both deeply im pressed with the beauty of Princeton and the abounding potentialalities of thin whole district They will make their journey in 15 days. Returning, they will take in the Lilloet district. LACROSSE MATCH. Keremeos v. Princeton, 6 to 4 in Favor of the Visiting Team. The interest in lacrosse, and its conse'-v quent revival among enthusiasts, was again manifest last Fridav, when Keremeos and Princeton met on the school grounds, Vermilion av. In the absence of a proper ground condition and some of the Princeton stars, the game still incited players and spectators to white heat at titles. The spouts of dust in a melee would often exclude combatants from view, but some ligbtfo&t or strongarm would emerge bearing, the sphere toward goal, cheeredKlfi^By Ifmd huzzas from friendly of_rookers„ These games presage a keener interest interest in lacrosse for the season of 1913, and that spirit must be fostered by adequate provision for athletic grounds. The band was present and kindly discoursed music, inspiring and pleasantly enjoying the time for the crowd of spectators. The teams may arrange to meet at Hedley on Thanksgiving day, in the meantime a return match is expected on Oct. 4. A collection of $18.55 was taken up sn the grounds to defroy expenses of the visiting team. Following is the lineup: Keremeos, Princeton.

The daily press have beeu_ handing around an encouraging item of railway construction news, which, if entirely correct, or three-fourths correct, will help the Similkameen out of the slough of stagnation and disappointment into which it has dropped during the past summer. The railway situation in the Similkameen during the past eight or nine years has hung as a pall over the district, blighting tne hopes, prospects and ambitions of the sturdiest of the baud of investors who carae here to make a home and lay the foundations of a livelihood Disappointtrent and delay havedeci mated the ranks of the pioneers, many leaving.-the district in disgust never to return. In all these years of exasperating detention about 15b "miles of the V. V. & E. railway have been built between Midway and Coalmont. From--Coalmont to Hope is the last gap of- 71 miles to link this district up east and west. If estimate is made on past performances there will be another four or five years wasted before this distance can be covered with steel. It must not be. No more looking backward will be tolerated by the people or the government. The railway companies must no longer trifle with the rights of the people, hampering progress and deadening any spirit of enterprise in those who long to see capital and industry, hand in hand, developing the vast resources of this district. Nothing short Of a crime has, been committed in wasting _h_r time of investors and workers during the past years, and the guilty procrastinators can, if they will, redeem someof that valuable time by building the remaining portions of both the V. V. & E- and the K. V. with reasonable speed and contjnuous construction. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The quegtjon of Indian reserves in proximity to towns and cities has long been proven a serfdi^ hindrance to the growth and develop ment of the place, as well as a menace to the morality of the community *__S_.ri occupied by the Indians Both the Dominion and provincial governments arc interested «iti the matter, and the latter's reversionary right in these reserves being no longer in dispute, an early settlement of the question may be expected. That man of many political opportunities and meteoric career, who may be described as two Teddys boiled down to one, is at Vancouver again. Reference is madcto 'Fighting Joe' Martin, M.P. for St. Pancakes, London, England. When he and other M.P. come to Canada, much good taste and wisdom would be shown if they would leave their politics behind. Why should Canadians be regaled with Irish affairs, war scare and naval mania, the lords and other questions? We have troubles of our own and problems by the hundred. Go away back, Joe! Bright's disease and organic heaft trouble are said to be killing off1 the rich people of New Ybrk, Chicago and other large,, cities. In New York the deatfas.from these troubles were, in 1871, at the rate of 17.68 persons in every 1,000 of population; in 1881 the rate had increased to 21.91; in 1911 it was 33.17. It is not the high cost of living that is sending these people to their long homes in such numbers. From whatever'point one views Teddy's presidential aspirations there is a certain 'comedy of errors' connected with'his campaign . dnd his nomination. Now, it is Well known that a bull moose, the emblem of Teddy's party, is about as cantankerous and scrappy an animal as ever-chewed a cud. H_ will paw air, throw dust in the eyes of his band, snort, bellow and roar, just as if be were the only bull in creation. Is the likeness not striking enough? Then add the characteristic of both to run a bluff on all and sundry that are weak kneed and bull headed. The end of Teddy is in sight. Wilson and wisdom will triumph. The fire loss of the United States and Canada for the month of July, 1912, as compiled trom the carefully kept records of the New York Journal of Commerce, shows a total of jj. 15,219,100. The losses by fire since the first of this year now total $149,581,850, as compared with $154,992,900 for the first seven months of 1911. How much of this loss was preventable? Cigar stubs, children with matches, defective flues, rats, and so on, no doubt contributed their share to the general holocaust. The empty life is neither good nor bad—just simply a lukewarm, listless existence, priding yourself on your own goodness, without an effort to better and help others. Whether in the village or crowded city opportunities are plenty to raise the helping hand and sound the cheering word. In the final summing up the nonentities are spewed out of the mouth. Be somebody, something. B* G Portland Cement Co. East Princeton, B. C. s^fc *£ms I The V.

Lacrosse association, and the Cornwall club, champions of the N. L. U , battle lor possession of the Min to cup, which carries with it the title <>1 world champions. The cup was held by New Westminster for thiee years, going 10 Vancouver in 1911. The 'Salmonbel lies' regained possession of the tropin this summer, and the Cornwalls, by virtue of their victories in the east have It was first arranged to play, the Minto cup games in this city during the week preceding the big fair. The exhibition management, however, scented a big attraction, and an offer to the clubs 01 $7,000 for the two games was accepted. Joe Lally, the big lacrosse stick manufacturer, represented the Cornwall clubs in the transactions. The games will be plaved on the opening and closing days of the fair, the first contest being staged on Tuesday afternoon, October 1, and the second on Sa'.urdav, October 5 The management of the fair feel par ticularly pleased at securing this addi tional attraction for the exhibition, a., besides all of the many other acts, exhibits and concessions, the visitors to the fair will now hive an opportunity to set the fastest teams of the east and west play the national game of the Dominion for the historic Minto cup, possession of which is the final goal of every senior la crosse organization in the countrv. Bv a slight change in the itinerary of __.R.H.,th_ Duke of Connaught,Governor General oe Canada, arrangements have been made whereby the Duke wi 1 form allv open the piovincial exhibition at New Westminster on October 3. The bid; fair will be open Tuesday, but it will not be given its official and formal dedi cation until Thursday afternoon, when the royal partv will be here. The par!\ will leave Victoria on Thursday morning and will arrive heie by steamer at abou 2:30. After the opening ceremonies a few hours will be spent in viewing tht exhibits and the grounds, when the\ will entrain for Vernon, Coincident with this announcement comes word -from Sir Richard McBride Premier of British Columbia, who was expected to open the exhibition, that In will be unable to accept the invitation While it was first announced that he would be glad to come to New West min ster, his native city, he decided that his presence in Victoria during the stay there of the Governor General was required and for this reason would be unable to come to the fair on Tuesday.

Martin Burrell, to investigate the state of the sheep industry in the various prov inces of the Dominion, and to report on ways and means of encouraging it, are said to be particularly-enthusiastic over the prospects for the industry in British Columbia. The commissioners found great stretches of country in this province ideally located for sheet) raising. They found also that the local market was unlimited and price high. New Zealand mutton has to be imported in large quan tities to supply the local demand and the incieasing needs of the prairie country. With the abundance of grass, the equi table climate and the enlarging market, sheep raising should thrive he.e. It will be the work of the commission and the Dominion department of agriculture to revive an industry which possesses such splendid possibilities in this province. After years of almost complete paralysis, Joseph Chamberlain, whose mind remained alert until now, is sinking fast, and the end may come any day. During the last five weeks he has ceased to take any interest in political events, lying in bed mentally and physically helpless. NEW BARBER SHOP MRS.

She knows how vitally important it is to eliminate from the kitchen all possible work, worry and waste. j*JI_ And the range is the soul of the kitchen. Its influence is felt every day and all day by the entire family. The Gurney-Oxford Range is a strong advocate of modern household economy. Not only does it cook and bake without disappointment or failure, but it is a positive influence for economy. It burns less coal—it requires less attention—it conserves time. Modern woman demands in her work modern time and labor saving ideas, and modern woman is right The Gurney-Oxford Range is the fruit of constant effort, research and experiment to make and keep abreast of modern ideas of efficiency. The Gurney-Economizer (which is licensed for use only on the Gurney-Oxford range) for regulating the drafts by one action: the Gurney method of distributing heat to all sides and corners of the oven: the improved Gurney grates, combine to make the Gurney-Oxford range the standard of efficiency and the foremost exponent of modern household economy.

Every honest man is supposed to pay his debts, if he is able to do so, and yet there would seem to be not a few who, ■for some reason or other, while claiming to be honest men, do not show any very great anxiety 10 pay their small debts, says the Christian Guardian. They probably intend to pay, but they see no reason why their creditors should be in a hurry, and possibly in the end they forget to pay. It was reported, not loug ago, that a large catering firm in New York had been forced into bankruptcv by reason of its failure to collect small sums due it by an army of rich people; and the North Carolina Christian Advocate, iu commenting upcn this, declares that during the past ten yerrs the Advocate itself has lost enough on subscriptions of good church people to pay off every dollar of indebt edness on building and printing plant. And, no doubt, many a retail merchant and poor man and woman reflects bitterly upon the fact that,they find it hard, and in many cases impossible to collec, small debts owing them by, presumably, honest people RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
