Vol. XIII No. 50 PRINCETON, B.C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912. PER YEAR : $2, Cash Single Copy, 5c MINES AND MINING B. C. Copper Co. Calls Halt in Development Work at Voigt Camp. Princeton Coal & Land Co. Increase Tonnage Ontpnt—Leadville Camp Active. The B C Copper Co. have closed down much of the development work which has been carried on so vigorously dining the past vear at Voigt Camp The order came last Saturday and the men were paid off. A drill outfit is retained on the Ada B until certain work is completed. It is not known what caused the unexpected stop in the wo/k and the sudden summoning of officials to Greenwood and New York, The annual meeting of the B C. Copper Co. takes place in February, at 814, Nassan street. New York, and it is possible that certain reports have to be made in advance. Then there i* a large payment on the bond agreement with E F. Voigt maturing on the 21st, and this no doubt, requires the endorsational teports of the Company's mining en gingers, Messrs. Keffer and Weeksg Whatever the cause of shutdown mayPoe, no one doubts the existence of a great mine or mines at Voight Camp an i Copper Mountain. The marvellous show ings of ore have been the subject of much comment by wholly disinterested parties, and the permanence of the camp undoubted. It is quite probable that cessation of work is temporary, all the indications being in favour of the B.C. Copper Co proceeding with the financial e id of the deal as well as mining and smelting on a large scale in this district. The Princeton Coal and Land Co , paid freight on their coal shipments over the V., V &E. and Great Northern, amounting to over $15,000 ior November as aga nst $10,000 in October The Vancouver shipments of coal continue to give every satisfaction One car of coal was shipped to Coalmont last Monday and another is on order. The excellent qualities of Princeton coal please customers and the result is increased demand It would not be surprising if this this coal w.i shipped to Merritt, Nanaimo and Fernie. A rennrkable property of mica is lamination; that is. iis structure is so perfect that it can be divided by easy cleavage into sheets of 1-25000 inch. A gold wire one tenth of an inch thick will support a weight of nearly 200 pounds LEADVILLE LUMPS. Leadville, Dec. 4th :—It is now a little over a year since J. C. Edward's people took hold of Treasure Mountain, and over seven months have passed since Col. Robert Stevenson's parties examined tbe Indana mine. Since then there has been a little work done on good ore, the bigest part of it tunnels in all about six hundred feet, giving about six hundred tons of or.1. The* have crosscutted the load in the Indana at a point of about fifty feet in and struck a good pay shoot on tbe north or foot wall, the tunnel has had a good shoot on either side all the way. The gangue between is good concentrating ore The m gnitude of the ore bodies here will not be known for years, as the boundaries of thecamp are being extended by new finds. Strange as it "may seem, J. C. Rei'by and Andy Jenson struck a good str'ing strain about one mile north of the Indana, that gives six fisures within tbe mile. There is over 6 feet of snow at the Indana cabin. Andy Jensen was carried about ninety feet down the hill from the trail by a baby snowslide. The packers say they will keep the trail open all winter, though it is a difficult task. This camp is a sure winner, the truth of this assertion may be relied upon. RJNCETON COAL AT COALMONT. Editor Star—Sir : I have it on good authority that two car loads of Princeton coal have beer shipped, to Coalmont, for the use of the residents, they having got t___l of the 'fine ' variety supplied by the Coalmont Coal•'. & Cc___ Co",' though I hear that this company still maintain that the long tunnel will be the best in the long run. In the meantime the in habitants have become exhausted in this marathon. Yours trulv, L LX. CHRISTMAS TREE. A Christmas tree entertainment will be given in the Princeton Opera House on the evening of 19th instant. -The program; will be almost exclusively contributed by the children and a good time is antici pated. The efforts of the committee to make the occasion a complete success have met with a worthy and liberal response from the citizens, and everything possible will be done to make the Xmas tree of 1912, a red letter event in the memories of the young generation. ROD AND GUN Rod and Gun for December, published by W. L Taylor, Limited, Woodstocki Ont., is an exceptionally readable number. Among its varied list of contents may be found : The Calgary Stampede, a description of the wonderful historical pageant that took place last September in that city of the plains; 'Bud Parsons,' an amusing tale of a vouthful hunter who thirsted for the blood of a bear. Other articles and stories of adventure are of au exceptionally entertaining nature. SURVEY PARTY HERE Kettle Valley Line up Similkameen River to Tap Voigt Camp. Slow Headway on All Railway Con- • Btruction—Years of Weed Growth on Hill's Grade. E E. Coley, in charge of a Kettle Valley railway survey party, began work Wednesday on a line about 15 miles long running to Voigt Camp and Copper Mountain. Tbe party pitched • camp about a mile and a half above town on CO French's farm land. This branch line starts from the intersection of the main line with Bridge street, and as a preliminary is subject to revision and relocation. The large ore tonnage in sight at Voiet Camp and'he prospect of mines developing at Roche river, Friday, .reek. Whipsaw, Copper and Kennedy mountains are making the railway company reach out for this business. The V ,V & E is already surveyed to these sections. A. F. Whitcomb, Great Northern engineer, W. H. Colquhoun, agent for Guthrie & Co., Bert Hill and R. D. Waterhouse arrived in Oroville recently in connection with track laying on the line between Oroville and Wenatchee. The grass and weeds have grown on the completed grade so beautifully that the line will have to be uncovered, much the same as the ruins of Pompeii. Jim is slow. The railway and vehicle bridge over the Fraser river at Hope for the Kettle Valley railway will be started early in the new year by construction of piers. The completion of the K.V. surveys in Coquihalla pass are expected soon and a headquarters camp will be established in Hope.. Tracklaying on the Wenatchee branch from Oroville is soon to go ahead. Jacobson & Werendorf, contractors, will have two steam shovels at work soon on their grading from Coalmont. Construction on the Kettle Valley is proceeding slowl> on the division ending at Osprey lake, owing to scarcity of laborers. E. Brookes has been promoted to chief engineer of construction on the Kettle Valley line. TAKES A HOLIDAY. F. P. Cook the pioneer merchant of Granite Creek, is opening another store at Coalmont in a fine large building which will be convenient for customers and contain big stocks usually carried by a general merchant. Since Mr. Cook relinquished tbe cares of journalism for the more lucrative and congenial sphere of mercantile enterprise he will be in a position to offer boliday bargains that will favourably compare with best along the frontier. With the Courier out of mind and the 'devil' in his discard, Mr. Cook will breathe the air of liberty once more, and take a jaunt to the Old Country, returning in February with his two voung daughters who have been eight years at college. Mr. Cook leaves in a day or two for Bedford, England, and a large number of friends and oldtime acquaintances will wish him bon voyage and quick return. DEAR OLD SANTA. Santa Claus sends best love to all his dear children and asks them to be patient and good until he arrives on Christmas eve. He is camped at the head of Granite creek among the tall spruce trees, and, barring a small frog in his throat, is feeling fine. He has loads of presents, all of which were procured at local stores (Santa does not send to Eaton's), and his reindeer will have all they can hanl on the big sleigh. With silvery bells and a loud horn, Santa will come on the wings of the wind about midnight, and every little and big heart will be made glad with his greetiug. LOCAL AND GENEBAL. A large number of subscriptions to Star are now due ; to prevent missing any numbers these should be paid before the year 1912 expires. Kindly renew yonr subscription before the New Year, and have it run with 1913. The moving picture show is exhibiting some fine films and attracting good audiences As the show is a home production it possesses the merit of leaving the proceeds in the town and thus helping to build it up. A dog, a man and a jag happened to be turning a busy street corner the other day. and all three got into a hopless mix"- up resulting in the dog showing his teeth in half comical, menacing grin. There are two many dogs in Princeton and the jags might be reduced a few, thus avoiding collisions of the sort mentioned. The seasonable gaieties are coming thick and fast this year, and the holidays promise no end of entertainment and amusement. An elopement sensation in Hedley, while affording no end ot gossippy comment, is causing our confrere, Major Megraw, to use considerable gray mat er aud midnight electric juice in producing the Gazette. It is no use kicking. Love must have its course. Neither boundaries nor barriers can confine the ' greatest thing in the world,' and even printers are suscepticle to its influence. The provincial legislature opens Thursday, January 16, 1913. Get your Christmas shopping done early and avoid the rush. VAST TRACTS OF VIRGIN MINERAL LAND - PULPWOOD P_p_W BgBBW THE SIMILKAMEEN STAh December i3t 1912 SPOKANE MINING CONGRESS. Editor Star—Sir: Will you give me space in your paper to present to your people the story of mining as it was shown at the American mining congress at its • session in Spokane, and by the object lessons presented in the Silver lead mining camps of the Coeur D'Alenes in the mines visited by the excursion, tendered the congress by the business interests of Spokane The American mining congress was made up of delegates from all parts of North America, covering all classes of mines and including some of the foremost operators and engineers Delegates from B.C. were not out in the force thev should have been, but those who were on the line were obliged lo work overtime to answer the inquiries as to the mineral laws and the chances to acquire properties _o develop. It was one of the rules that only local ores in which you were interested were to be put on exhibit, with that end in view I strove to interest your community to furnish me ores to preserit with the camp Hedley ores. E. P. Wheeler on Friday Creek and Knight and Day on Whipsaw, were the only <>wners who responded. The Bornite from Friday Creek was praised, btit- th_.'great inquiry was about ' the big low'g_H__ body of silver lead ores ' I:-had ores from Coopers from 23 mile, Hope, Luke Gibson's from the Skagit, but the Whipsaw attracted the most attention As one operator put it, 'we can use that it is on our side of the divide and we can ship to Tacoma by the Oroville cutoff, All your rope properties can be opened up this season if you will give us the chance to. work.' If Billy Knight could have heard the good things said about his ore in, the Coeur D'Alanes, he would have thought hi8.wo(k had -not been in vain. The Leadville Campx/res loomed up in great force and made many friends for the Princeton district, and there will be an influx in the early spring of some prominent mining men who have made mines in all parts of the world. Of coal and copper I could give no •personal, data of benefit to the prospective operatttr.^ Princeton is Sfi^'the mining map to stay but the mine owners should get^out and meet the mining men halfway; as ofle engineer put it, ' we cannot afford to spend tbe time unless we have definite data and prospects of ta deal..'

Williams writes from Hurst, Berkshire, Eng,, that he is assisting an elderly vicar in a large country parish, and will remain there during the winter months. J. Malone has gone to Nelson to spend Christmas with his family. It requires a little more snow to make good sleighing, and freighters are longing for more of ihe beautiful. Good skating has been afforded ou the little lake near Supt. Osborne's house, East Princeton. Many skaters walk from town to enjoy an hour's spin on this charming resort. The Elite cafe is an institution of the town, conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Moore, who have had a wide experience in the west as public caterers. At Yale and Kamloops they met with a large patronage, and haying read of the prosperity of Princetou, decided to cast their lot here. They will, no doubt meet with the sue cess they deserve. The Church of England.bazaar, held in the court house on Wednesday, was well patronized, and the ladies of St Cuthbert's guild are much cheered over the net result—$65. Russell & McLean, real estate brokers were at Nicola and Merritt on a business visit thi week, arriving back on Thursday. C. B. Peterson, au old 'imer in the Bpundary country, and well known in Princeton, took his own life on or about the 2nd inst , by hanging.

E C Richardson, on the staff of A. E.

These fellows seem to pay no attention to the law regarding trespass, and it is just possible that some of them may be winged. Not content with free use of the soup springs these woodpeckers pack away the wood, and if movab e they would take the gold and gypsum deposits two. ENGLISH BELL RINGERS. A small though, appreciative audience, heard the Imperial bell ringers on Monday night with pleasure and great delight. ' Beautiful bells, how they ring.' Had Poe heard the bells on this occasion he would have had ample inspiration for another verse in his famed poem. Classic and artistic throughout, the entire program was of genuine merit. Difficult selections of music and humor found spontaneous applanse. If one might venture to suggest it would be along the lines of old favorite choruses and part songs-with bell accompaniment—these are always soul stirring and more popular than the deeper classic. *\* *******z**z*<**>*z**z*<^*> *>*z**>*z**4<**z**z**t-<**>*z^ SPECIALS.

Instead of aiming for universal peace there are preparations for some great struggle of the visionaries, some metaphoric Armageddon that aggressive statesmen and bloodthirsty militarists are bound to foresee. War, with all its attendant woe and hellish misery, is in actual process. Innocents suffer unspeakable sorrow, mourning and want because men in high positions of state lend themselves to the clamor of strutting militarists, the powder makers and dreadnought builders. The jingo spirit is prominent in the land and conservative and liberal governments respond to the popular craze by levying burden upon burden. With all her splendid prestige and influence Britain could dictate world wide peace if she would only lead the way for the other great powers. But no ! She panders to the fearsome pensioned admiral and general, whose utterances find ready echo in a sensational loving press. Is it true, as the jingoes assert, that the best preservative of peace is preparedness for war ? Is it true that a gun primed and loaded to tbe muzzle is less dangerous than an empty one ? Is it truth to say that it is less menace to peace to have everything at hair trigger readiness for the slightest touch of offence, thus unloosing the dogs of war in a twinkliug ? Sober minded people will not be misled by such sophistical arguments. If the statesmen and high officers who think, talk, encourage and make war were obliged to serve in the trenches and taste the miseries of the private soldier there would be less money invested in non-productive standing armies, murderous weapons and huge battleships which are outof- date in a few years. If Canada is now to e-nbark on a war policy after a hundred years of peace and friendship with its nearer neighbors it will retard development of her vast natural resources and inculcate a spirit of militarism which must delay the advent of universal brotherhood and peace. If, however, Premier Borden and his government, in their wisdotr, or the liberals in Britain and Canada in their collective wisdom, should vote for and urge an enormous naval expenditure by the colonies, on them must fall the tremendous responsibility. In history yet to be written Premier Asquith and Churchill will be burned at the stake of public opinion for seducing the colonies to engage in a policy that impoverishes and destroys. The least Britain should give in exchange for the great moral support and huge monetary contributions from the colonies is a full and unqualified partnership. Nothing less than an empire parliament can atone for the sacrifice of our present autonomy and happy independence. On these lines of union there may be reared an empire which from very force of example may make for world peace and disarmament. Canada has no money to squander on a 'tinpot navy' or super dreadnoughts, the 'best money and skillcan build.' Apart from that her people have no warlike tendencies or desires. They are not suspicious of their neighbors at any time, excepting at elections and then only for vote catching. Canada has no enemies now, but the moment she begins arming on the proposed large scale, she will have them. The armed attitude of nations is synonomous with the man who carries a gun, suggesting, if not inviting trouble. If statesmen really want to benefit their country and humanity generally thoy should spend some effort and money in the cultivation of peaceful relations, goodwill and the removal of all barriers tending toward social estrangement and trade friction. Instead of thinking war, let the current of mind be turned into peaceful and constructive avenues; let thought be weaned away from that which would destroy the body, property and the harmony of life A nation's strength can no longer be measured by her cohorts of soldiers or floating battering rams. A pellet of dynamite shot from above into a battleship funnel snuffs out a thousand lives and sinks ten millions of dollars out of sight forever. In the light of invention and unlimited genius how foolish is the waste of money on war material and big battleships? Children could not be more ludicrous with their castle building. Europe teeming with hungry millions and honest poor without home or a place to lay the weary head, this spectacle resulting from overburdensome taxation to keep armies of idle, nonproductive men and build navies. Is Canada to be drawn into this vortex of misery and woe ? Do Canadians want to grunt and sweat under the burdens of militarism ? Why not choose peaceful paths ? Under the circumstances the Premier has made a good bargain in loaning the ships and Star com- [To be continued.] B.C Portland Cement CO* East Princeton, B* C. z£w *&w I Y 1 1 1 i m v i Y Y Y Y *>*4*Z^Z**Z**Z**Z**Z*^4* The V.

FORESTRY NOTES. France has spent over 40 million dollars in an endeavour to prevent the erosion of t;he soil from mountains whose slopes have been denuded of timber through forest fires. : The forest industry had a value lo British Columbia in 1911 of $28 000,000 —almost equivalent to the value.of foodstuffs produced and imported H. R. Mac.Millian, Chief Forester of the Province has established a bureau of information in the Forest Branch, Victoria, from which statistics, etc , regarding the forest aud the forest in. dustries may be had. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has made .public the results of an exhaustive investigation of lightning strokes throughout the country. The report disposes of the belief of the ancient philosophers that certain kinds of trees —the laurel, aspen and beech—were never struck by lightning, with . the statement that ' any kind of tree is likely to be struck.' The report shows that lightning strikes in the Colorado plateau region more often than any wher else in the country, and asserts that lightning is a prolific source of fires in the forests of west.

CONTROVERSIAL CUDGELS. Editor Star—Sir: Your correspondent, John Nathan, seems to be possessed with that ready wit which is capable of making the most serious thoughts of God's revealed Word objects of mirth and ridicule. If anyone interested in this subject will turn to the Scriptures he will see that my statements agree therewith; further than that I am not concerned. In Gen i: I, we have the statement that 'God created the heaven and earth.' Iu Is. 45: 18, we read it was created to be inhabited, that it was not made in vain. The statement in Gen. 1: 2, 'that the earth was without form and void,' indicates that some great cat- astsophe had happened between the fiist and second verses of Gen. I. This catastrophe is referred to in Jude 6, 'The angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation.' In 2 Pet. 2: 4 we have the result: 'God spared not the aiigels that sinned, but cast them down Cor tinued on page 7. RELIGIOUS SERVICES.

In Ez. 28: 15 the reason is stated, 'iniquity was found in them.' In all this we see where and through whom evil was manifested, but not a word of the origin of evil. Had Mr. Nathan a knowledge of the source of evil, he should have stated it. So far as I know, while the origin of evil has been much sought after, it has not yet been found. The evil here spoken of was the cause of the fall of our first paients in the garden of Eden, who had been created in innocence, the results of which abide with us to the present day. These statements are facts of history. The lack of fear of God, or trust in God, on the part of man caused the fall into sin when temptation came, shown in, 1, man's desire to have what God had forbidden. 2, to know what God had not revealed, and 3, to be what God had not intended him to be. It is in these same three points that men today disregard both national and divine laws; the absence of fear, in the sense of love (hating to cause offense) or terror (because of results to follow) does not deter the breaking of the above laws. The observance of national laws marks good citizenship and of divine laws, the more perfect life. Their disregard results in punishment. In these statement I do not critize God in any way, nor do I hold Him responsible for man's shortcomings. I have only put forward the declared results of trans gressions of human and di ine laws: thevr are there for our guidance, and it is our wisdom to be guided thereby. Having impigned the honesty of my previous communications, I feel absolved from taking any further .notice of his criticisms. Yours truly, Mark Jukes. Princeton Picture Show Dignan Bros.
