WHIPSAW WHISPERS Silver-Lead Camp Gradually Opening up its Rich Treasure Vaults. Whipsaw is Attractive for Prospectors Who. in Complete Isolation Run Tunnel. Charlie Day was in town Monday from Whipsaw getting mail and supplies, the first time in six weeks he had broke camp. He reports beautiful weather in that high altitude and snow about four feet deep. The Lucky' Pair, on which Day & Knight are at work has a tunnel now run 85 feet, 35 of which has been completed since Xmas. Thev have met chloride of silver and lead sulphides and other indications which lead them to believe that they are in the vicinity of a ledge. Iron stains and indurated talc are found in seams running driftwise and this lends much probability to the existence of a secondary lead, distinct from, yet tending toward the main lead. The whole of Whipsaw is mineralized aud values are present outside of ledge matter. Dav & Knight are doing a great work which will bring its own reward in establishing what has all the earmarks, at least, of a big silver-lead camp In another six weeks they hope to have reached the lead. TOWN AND DISTRICT. F. A Rose, of the Similkameen Lands and Mines Office, arrived in town on today's stage from Nicola. Before C. E. Thomas, J. P., yesterday, C. A. Lovell, a lumberjack, was sent up for trial for stealing money belonging to Ed. Tingley. Constabla-^Kewat took the prisoner to Kamloops yesterday. Mrs. J. G. Macdonell is visiting relatives in Toronto. Messrs. Thynne, Todd, Murphy, Mac- phgff^fos., Spearing, Riddle and Mar- txite have sold out their mining claims in tbe Tulameen district for $27,000. These consist of gold and copper ore and are situated belween the Swede group and Charlie Law's claims. That was a noble boy who, among a large comoany of gamester youths and elders had to pay a forfeit which consisted of kneeling before the prettiest, bowing to the wittiest, and kissing the one he loved best; choosing his mother before all others. A boy's best iriend is his mother, but do they all appreciate that fact? As a sign of the impending boom every hotel is full of guests. Enlaree and build greater is necessary now. COAL MARKET GOOD Notes on Coal Mining in East Kootenay and Province of Alberta. Shipping Rates Suhject of Grievance and Matter is Referred to the Railway Commission- The mining and fuel situation has not been at all favourable during the winter. While the mines are not able to get cars, the ptarie country has been practically out of fuel. It is learned from the Coleman Miner that this is largely due to the fact that the carrying company, the_C_.P. r.iilwav is also in the coal tradf nii'1 "111) supplies cars to others when in excess of ifg»nwn wants Both mines at Lundbreck are shipping daily. A new seam has been opened in the Breckenridge Lund mine which is between seven and ten feet thick of high- grade coal. Shipments are being made from this seam. Prospecting is also going ou south of the railroad on the same property, where the seam will be opened. Galbraith coal is finding ready sale, and screens have now been put in at the leading tipple Complaint has been made by this company to the railroad commission about the spipping rates, and a reduction order is soon expected. Carbon Hill—Owning three sections of coal land near the southern end of the bituminous fields, this company has spent considerable in developing the mine. There are eleven veins already opened, which lie flat and vary in thickness from four to twenty feet. Analyses made from coal taken at the face of a 500-foot entry is shown below: Selected—Moisture, 1.2 per cent; volatile matter, 37.3 per cent; fixed carbon, 58.5 per cent; ash, 3.0 per cent. Mine Run—Moisture, 0.9 per cent; votatile matter, 25.5 per cent; fixed carbon, 60.1 per cent; ash 13 3 per cent. The former yields 61.5 per cent coke, while the latter runs 73.4 in coke upon test. A railroad is to be constructed to the mine in the spring from Burmis. The Davenport Coal company, which was recently organized by Spokane people to take over the holdings of the East Crows Nest Coal and Coke company, will erect a tipple at the mine at once, and the president, F. H. Mason, announces that the mine will begin producing soon after March 1, 1910. Durham Collieries, Ltd—This company was organized by W. A. Nichols and associates of the state of Washington to take over 2000 acres of coal lands 30 miles north of Lethbridge. North Kootenay Pass Co.—With 2500 acres of land adjoining that of the Carbon Hill company this company has developed the extension of the Blairmore Frank series of coal seams. No 1 seam shows 12 feet of semi-anthracite, and it is upon this where the greatest development has been done. The company will produce both domestic and steaming coal. Consolidation of the West Canadian and Canadian American company is- denied. Montreal and Ottawa Capitalists have taken over charters and will now construct railroads from Edmonton south to- the international line and northwestward to Dawson. Another line will be con st ucted from Winnipeg to Tidewater, via Lethbridge. Crows Nest Pass Coal Co.—Under date of December 15 General Manager Ash- worth reported that the mines were producing 4000 tons daily at Coal Creek and Mitchell, about 1600 tons of which was being converted into coke at Feinie and Michel. The Morrissey mines are idle at present. Quoting the MicljeL-Reporter of December 24, 1909, is the following: "The output from the mines here is steadily increasing. Last July the number of men employed was 700, today the number exceeds 1000. The coal company is starting up about ioo more ovens. Only about one-lhird of the ovens here have been in operation all summer, and from what we can learn every oven will shortly be in commission. 'W% THE LOCAL GRISTM| The need of a hospital here was further emphasized by the impossibility of getting a suitable building for railway patients the other day. Dr. McEwen will have his patients taken to Hedley hospital.^ A^^-^y^y <$7^u., yfc/ Capt. Holmes, of Granite Creek was in town recently. As road supervisor he has sent in his estimates to the Government, part of which will be for a wagon road from/Granite Creek camp to the North F*rk coal mines. Huston Bros, have moved into their new stables on Bridge St., which are thoroughly up-to date in every particular. Everything in the livery line is kept by these enterprising owners and their increased accommodation denotes an expanding patronage. J.F. Waddell, Manager of Similkameen Lumber Co., will move into town Monday next and occupy the Cox dwelling on Fenchurch Ave. His company will keep everything in stock that enters into a building. Travellers leaving Princeton Thursday each week via Marquart~sstage line will arrive in Vancouver tne following Saturday evening. This route is one of great scenic beauty from Princeton to Nicola. Beautiful lakes, fishing an&game. Tourists summer route. The beautiful Otter Valley seen from an open coach is a picture never to be forgotten.

One of the most encouraging features on the horizon of advancement and progress in Princeton and vicinity is the snapping up of all coal land not already held by the larger owners. Since the coal has had rail transportation to outside markets, about two months, there has been a growing demand for the fuel and coal ground. With .the pioneer company, the V.F.M. Co. already operating, there are some five or six companies either preparing to produce coal or purposing to do so at no distant date. Taking into, consideration the infancy of the coal mining industry in these parts it is most gratifying and hopeful for tbe future to have these evidences of present and prospective expansion.. When the failway is completed to the coast an impetus will be given to the coal mining industry which will assure large population. Then the manufacture of coke will be a standing invitation to smelter promoters to establish in this vicinity. All of which makes it certain that a great commercial career awaits Princeton as the center of the ore and coal mining sections..^ One amendment to the Liquor Act by Attorney-General Bowser will have very general approval— it relates to the habitual drunkard. This class of unfortunate is now placed under tbe special care of the police, who may upon their own responsibility interdict him from obtaining 'booze' from any vendor of liquors. Now it's the crow, old black crow. Some farmers around Victoria want tbe government to levy a [bounty on poor old crow, Jim crow. They want to choke off his caw becaws he eats a few kernels of corn or bites a cherry. No bounty 011 crow say 'we,' for he is the most familiar bird in the air and a comical cuss if rightly understood. If Mr. Farmer would make a few scarecrows that make a noise with the wind instead of making a scarecrow of himself he would have no occasion to crow on this subject any more. ■■■ ■- Some of the planks in the Progressive Liberal platform adopted at Fort George on Jan. 22nd are weather beaten and sappy, while others are of fairly good quality and would add stability to any political structure. The proposal to submit all questions involving the credit of the Province to the people for their decision is a mild lorm of referendum and is not new. Premier McBride referred his railway policy to the people in the abstract thus acknowledging the principle of rferendum. The aim of all free governments is to get as near as possible to the people ; to interpret their wishes and know their minds. Any government that is not democratic enough to voice the will of the people is not representative. And herein lies the success of the McBride government. The Premier has the happy knack of discovering the wants of the people and then legislates accordingly. Former premiers of B.C. legislated for themselves and their parties and they were signal failures. The Progressive Liberal Party is in a field all by itself since the old Liberal party has been practically wiped out. To build up a town it is absolutely necessary that citizens should stand shoulder to shoulder when any public question of improvements or subject of general-interest is before them. All side issues and sectional differences, all personal ambitions and selfish aspirations for the mere purpose of victory must be sacrificed for the paramount good of the whole. Many visitors and prospective investors , will come to Princeton this year. Their first impressions will be lasting and if favorable they will be of great service in inducing capital and more visitors to come this way. If a spirit of cheerful optimism pervades citizens it will inspire the stranger. And, if an investor is seeking information it is good policy to at all times.tell the truth about your own or your neighbor's property. To decry or underrate a neighbor or his property disgusts an investor and gfves him the impression that you are 'small potatoes' anyway. Boost all the time.

Public The Dominion government did a gracious deed in sending $50,000 for the relief of flood stricken Parisians. Disaster makes the whole world akin and it is such deeds referred to that hastens the day of the universal brotherhood of man and the dawn of peace evermore. It is noticeable that much of the talk for a direct gift of money to Britain for building a dreadnought navy emanates from those in political opposition to Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier. They wonld stop at nothing so long as they could make it embarrassing for him. Canadian loyalty ought never to be questioned after the red stained veldt spoke so eloquently. A Canadian navy, if built at all, ought to be constructed where the money comes from—in Canada. GEO. H. BROUGHTON , j B.C. & U.L.8., Qrad. S.P.S.
