Vol. XI. No. 37. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER § 1910. $2 a Year in Advance MINES AND MINING Whipsaw Makes Good with ^Development; Rich Ore Samples. Opportunity for Lime and Brick Man' ufacture—Copper Market is Growing Strong. Free milling ore assaying $150 per ton in gold has been struck at Steamboat Mountain, about 15 lniles^buth of Hopi. The excitement over the firsj/discovery has abated. It is tj_e gep_ral opinion that further discoveries will be made and other stampedes/take jflace, as the country has only/been/_ikitnmed over and prospecting Is diffi-ult. . Although there is plenty of excellent limestone around Princeton no one seems to grasp the opportunity thus presented for the manufacture of lime. There is always a steady demand for both lime and brick and they should be produced at home. Summing up evidential facts as known and taking into consideration the amount of work that has been done there is every reason to believe that Whipsaw is a permanent camp. The. mineralized area of high grade ore has been defined and explored by experienced men, whose opinions tend to establish the existence of mines, though still in the formative stages yet none the less real and valuable. A large amount of work has been done this year in Whipsaw by Messrs. Baker, Crowley, Fitzgerald, Spencer, Knight & Day, Fearless, McMullen and French, all of whom are highly satisfied with results. Sam Spencer has done a large amount of work in crosscuts and tunnelling and has some very fine samples 01 silver-lead ore taken from the lead. He has zinc ore which, under the new process of treatment must prove very valuable, also lead and zinc carbonates easily mined and virtually ready for shipment. With a wagon road into Whipsaw ore shipping could at once begin. The copper metal market is gradually improving. Curtailment of output is having its good effect and in this way consumption will soon be able to clean up all the present copper supplies and put the metal market in an extremely strong position. A. G. Freuch, a well known consulting metallurgical chemist is in Nelson for the purpose of experimenting with the refractory silver-lead-zinc ores found in the Kootenay. He is very hopeful of discovering a profitable treatment for the low grade ores, having already experimented with those of Slocan. W. Yolen Williams is in Rossland in the interests of the Granby Co. conduct ing an examination of the Cliff mine, With the stoping of ote still going on at the old LeRoi, the Consolidated Co. working four mines of its local group, thejosie, LeRoi No. 2, Velvet, Nickel- plate and I.X.L., Rossland is an active camp A NEW MAGAZINE. Star is in receipt of the August number of -The Athletic World,' published bv W. J. Taylor, Limited, Woodstock, Ont., a publication that is in every way creditable to those in charge. It super cedes the old 'Outdoor Canada' magazine. Besides ■ the change of title the size has been increased and the contents augmented. The 'Athletic World' is among ,the best publications issued in Canada. The sporting editor of Star, though a little sti F and rusty on athletii s will always welcome 'The Athletic World* to his sanctum as a reminder of bygone days and to be up-to-date in the world of athletic achievement. Every yonng man should have a copy of it. CLOSE SEASON ON BEAR. A close season for bea. exists now in B.C. from mid July to September and already several convictions have been secured. While bruin is not as destructive as the coyote or as dangerous to human life as the cougar, yet he can hardly be considered safe, useful or ornamental. Excepting cubs bear meat is scarcely an edible food and the skin, uulike that of deer, is not valuable for wearing material. There is such a thing as making protection too protective for savage animals, whose home should be beyond the pale of civilization. All things considered there is no doubt that the close season on bear is at least premature. Jr PARVUM PARVA DESENT. The Star is threatened with libel. In these guileless columns a week or so ago an item appeared in which allusion was made to a respected citizen of Princeton engaging in a friendly game with an esteemed citizen of Merritt. The complainant claims heavy damages. His reputation suffered insomuch and insofar so he says, that it indefinitely delayed his debut injja-high—society. He concludes as follows: 'Have placed the matter in the hands of my legal advisers to adjust. The piece appeared just as I was going to but into Merritt's finest society, and it is the blow that 'killed fayther.' 'I have the honor, to be, unkind sir, his Mr. $ MacSwain, mark' [How sensitive some people seem ? Still, let justice be done to the great as well as to the small.—Ed.] W. G. Norrie and bride of Granite Creek, passed through town last week from Rossland, where he was married- Star extends hearty congratulations. HEDLEY LABOR DAY Princeton Scoops Important Prizes, Winning most Coveted Ones. Big Contingents from All Over Valley —Hedleyites in Front Rank of Entertainers. Labor Day was royally celebrated at Hedley, the weather, the crowd, the program, all combining to make the occ_»- sion memorable and enjoyable. As Star goes to press Tuesday it was not possible to get complete results. The chief event, baseball match, was won by Princeton, 4 to 3. Prize JS100 in cash. In the shooting contest Princeton won with 70 points, Hedley, 56. The Shatford cup still remains with Princeton. Bert Irwin won in individual shooting, scoring 24 out of possible 25 points. Mrs. M. Ewart won ladies' race with Starlight. Seas won the freeforall with Baldy, formerly owned by W. Garrison. TOWN AND DISTRICT. Gordon and Mrs. Murdock, Marie and Royal, and Miss Norah Lyall returned Monday night from Hope where they had been outing and where they met Mrs. Mnrdock returning from a pleasant visit to the coast. Ripe strawberries were picked on the summit. W. C. Brown, for nearly two years teller in the Bank: of Commerce, left on Saturday last for Kamloops. From a social point of view it is unfortunate that bank regulations could uot have spared Mr. Brown another two years to Princeton, where he was justly popular. Always obliging, courteous and competent, he carries away the best wishes of many friends. An informal dance party was arranged for him, at which he was tendered gold locket and cufflinks. F. C. Laird, of Spokane, is in town on a business visit. Mrs. W. S. Garrison arrived home yesterday from a visit to Seattle. Bailey-Scott—In -St. James' church Vancoujre t, on the 1st irfet., Frank Bailey to Mis^Hllda R. W. ScpttT^The honey moon will be spen,ff_ England. Star wishes the happy* couple joy and prosperity throughout-Hfe's journey. The term 'goldbug' is a fictitious one applied to men of wealth, but the real thing, a proper gold bug with yello__ belly and gold feet was seen on Sam Spencer's house recently. Just emerging from the chrysalis state a dozen or more of these interesting bugs clung to the wall, as independent and comfortable as any human goldbug could be. In the absence of an assay our bugologist thinks their chief value will consist in dissection by some naturalist like Seton Thomson who could write a book about them. Andy Rankin, who has been medical attendant for Dr. McEwen on railwav construction, was given a royal sendoT last Friday night, a dance and presentation of a gold charm, intimating th. esteem in which he is held here by _ large number of friends. He goes to- Merritt to engage in the drug business. MODERN WOODMEN CAMP. Princeton may justly lay claim to being' a home for secret societies. Besidesf- Orangemeri, Freemasons, Oddfellows and. Rebekahs another order is seeking admission into the social and fratern.il arena. The Modern Woodmen of America, with over 1,000,000 members, will organize here, Walter ' Davis, assistant deputy, having been authorized to receive applications and supply literature to all desiring It. The, initiation fee is $5 and not less than fifteen members can institute a lodge. The Order furnishes sound life insurance at cost. Mr. Davis" resides on Kenley Av. and will gladly respond to inquiries. TEN TEARS AGO. [From Similkameen Star of 1900.]' Frank Bailey, owner of the townsite. at Similkameen City,t was in town this week as enthusiastic as ever over the prospects of that camp. Judge Spinks held the first sitting of the county court on Monday last. George McCoskery" disposed of 50 feet of his block on Bridge St. for the sum of $10 per foot frontage, H. Cowan purchasing 25 feet and Rennie & Bell 25 feet. Robert Stevenson ari_ son arrived in town from Summit camp on Wednesday. The ore in this camp .rlins $200 per ton in gold and silver. W. J. Waterman returned from Victoria and reports favorably for the delegation to secure money appropriations for the town and district. Messrs. A. Hickling, E. Waterman and 'Judge' Macintosh will meet the government and ask for the early completion of the Princeton-Keremeos wagon roa .. Mrs. J. Anderson left for Victoria via ' the Hope trail on Wednesday last. 'Sunset' Brown returned from Grand Fotks Wednesday. A. E. Howse arrived from Nicola on Saturday's stage and reports all well in the valley. The latest fad in Princeton is hunting duck by moonlight. The construction of a line of railway between Vancouver, the Similkameen and Kootenay is a project that should appeal to every loyal British Columbian. —Star.

That the principle of single tax is being applied more and more in •cities and municipalities generally is cause for gratification to all who hold to the justice of such a mode of taxation. In Vancouver the abolition of the tax on improvements has, no doubt, given great impetus-to building. Manifestly it would be unfair to attribute all tbe building activity there to single tax but it must be considered as a factor with its due proportion of incentive to that end. Single tax not only encourages construction of buildings but it tends to a better class of structure. As for the theory of single tax in all its bearings Star is not prepared to endorse them in entirety, the changes advocated by its promulgators being not only revolutionary but reactionary in many respects. Since, however, it is a fundamental principle of single tax to remove the iniquitous system in old and crowded countries whereby a few of the so-called 'nobilit}-' monopolize ownership in the land, there could be no reasonable objection to it. Land for the people and people for the land, not land for a few titled or non-titled landlords, has been handed down from remote history. When Princeton is incorporated a clause in its charter removing all hampering taxes on improvements will be in line with the best thought and action of a progressive and intelligent community. Is it too much to expect that provincial and federal governments will adopt the progressive and economic principle that all improvements should be free from any discouragement or burden in the form of tax? THE BIBLE. The debate in the Methodist conference at Victoria on Higher Criticism shows the wide disparity of opinion and belief held by ministers and laymen of the same denomination. One of the brethren is accused of heterodoxy and his teaching denounced, on his side being ranged some of the great and learned of the church. Orthodox religionists have received many a jolt in recent times from the higher critics and modernists. It all goes to prove that with nearly two thousand years of study and research the Bible still is the subject ofmuch controversy, unfathomed and misunderstood by even ministers, pro fessors and D.D's. All of which does not in the least change or affect the great truths of this wonderful book—truths as well understood and grasped by the mind of the humble fisherman as by that of a learned Paul. The Bible deals witb and is founded upon infinity, the eternal future of man. And as God is a spirit, authority tor the Book, creator of man in His own image aud likeness, therefore His word can only be understood, appreciated and assimilated by the spiritually minded—the carnal mind cannot understand Him. The carnal minds of the Methodist chnrch and of the world generally will find reason wherewith to accuse one another, to doubt, fear, wrangle, accept portions of scripture and reject other such. The spiritual man accepts the Bible wholly, thus excluding all dispute, but the dustman made out of the dust, is always ready for an argument. Scientific study and practice of the scriptures is the only way, since it proves them with signs following : in the purer life, in the healing of disease, the sure hope of eternal life and in love toward all. _.. -_♦.-».-»--♦■-»._♦._■--___»■-».-♦--<--♦.-»-> ©*VVVVVVVVVVVVV%V*?^^ Beef, Pork, Mutton Ham, Bacon, Lard 4^*^4m****iff»lB*B*-BO Fresh and Smoked Fish 4f^B**it^B*>B*4^BmBH P. lints <_ Co., ill f Y Y X Y Y Y Y m Y Y Y Y X X Y Y X Y X Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y __ A iA__»__. ___»__.♦__. __*.___^^ *♦* We carry the largest stock in Princeton of - - FLOUR, FEED, GRAIN, COALOIL and QASOLINE- notes AND COMMENTS. A great deal has been said and written about patronizing home storekeepers instead of sending to the outside departmental store. As a matter of loyalty to the town and desire to see it progress every dollar spent in living requisites and maintenance should have its ulti mate,, if not present, goal in the town where it issues from. Living and earning in one town and building up another is not loyalty, it is not good business. Of course the fault does not altogether lie with the customer. Storekeepers do not always patronize home institutions. In the matter of encouraging the home newspaper little is done in advertising and printed stationery is purchased elsewhere. In return for the newspaper's refusal to print advertisements for departmental stores it receives nothing from local stores—rather one-sided loyalty. And here let it be remarked that all advertisements, having their originating cause in this section, should be advertised here, be they coal, land or county court notices. The newspaper is here to serve just purposes. Ob— William the Strenuous says he is Emperor of Germany by divine right. Cromwell said much the same thing when he stole the throne of England for a brief space. What about that race track and athletic grounds ? Did the committee go to sleep of are they merely pipe-dreaming? Lauder's triumphal tour is over and the Grits will now feel safe to put their hands deeper into the graft bag.
