What about that 'rush' Uncle Jitn talked about at Seattle and Vancouver a year ago regarding early completion of the W to Vancouver? Where are you Jim? Gone a-fishin'? R. E Ward, agent for East Princeton townsite, left for Vancouver after selling a number of lots. Crops on Onemile will be good and the ranchers are hap] y. At the Hagerman ranch an average yield of hay and grain will be gathered. This excellent ranch has vast possibilities of production when its 300 acres are in use. At Victoria, on the 20th inst., Major G. M. Heinekey departed this life. He was a citizen of Princeton about a year ago and was much esteemed. . Luke Gibson is a visitor .from Hope for a few days. Summerland hospital is about to close for want of patients. W. C. Nicoll. of San Francisco, was a visitor last week and may reside here permanently. Relying on common report Star erroneously stated last week that 160 lots had been sold to a Vancouver syndicate. Instead . it should have said that 15 lots have been purchased in different parts of the town by Vancouver people. A new lumber town will be started at the mouth of Silver Creek two. miles below Hope and the C N.R. will lay out a town half way between Hope and Pop- cum. A rather unusual case of one lawyer suing another for debt ha£-__veloped at Penticton in which Gahan vs. Kelly afforded the cast for the comedy. The Superintendent of provincial police, F. _.. Hus.-ey, died last Friday at Victoila.' C. O French returned last week from Victoria where he was in consultation witb the government. He has recently purchased a fruit ranch in 'Sammyland' and like thousands more is waiting for the V.,V_& E. to be completed. See the ad-, for tenders issued by the Coalmont Hotel Co., L.

With the payment of a $6 quarterly dividend on June 28, the Calumet & Hecla Mining Co., has returned to the shareholders, since incorporation, a tota of $115,450,000. When it is taken into consideration that this has been done' on an issued capital of only $2.500.000, the achievement ranks as one of the most remarkable in the hiiiory of. .American industries. The report is made that the Calumet & Hecla is pincding out, which is causing a l'vely demand for copper properties. Owiugto the . great scarcity of cOal in the northwestern provinces, due to the strike of coal miners, the board of trade at Calgary has asked the Dominion government to remove-the duty on coal for six months. There are 100,000 tons at Spokane ready to export to those provinces. Why not export some of the coal from Princeton district ? P. Y.

Brown will be glad to communicate with anyone having ore exhibits for the Vancouver exposition from Aug. 28 to Sept. 4. Vancouver is a center for mining capital and any proposition of merit can be financed there. Show the goods to the world and mining men at the exposition can euter into preliminary negotiations. If there is nothing to exhibit it is probable there is nothing for sale. The board of trade and citizens generally as well as mine owners and prospectors should take a working interest in this big exposition. Mr. Btown is an official of the exposition and his address is 443 Pender St. W.,. Vancouver. MINES AND MINING Descriptive Reports of Voigt's Camp and Princeton Coal Basin. Coal Measures Extend .Fourteen Miles Long and Vary from 3 to i in Width. The prominence given.to Voigt's camp by reason of the magnitude of the deai now in its final stages by which some Sixty mineral claims will be transferred, is sufficient to warrant publication of a. concise article begun in last week's issue, from the pen of E. Jacobs, the well known mining writer, concergjing .this camp. It is as follows : Similkameen river at this point flowing towards the uorth, adjoins some of the property on the west side of the camp.| The nearest town pj Princeton, which lies1 some 10 to n miles to the north, and is the present terminal of the Great North em railway. From the camp to Priiice ton is reached by a good wagon road, crossing one divide. Altitude—The camp is about 2600 feet above sea level, 800 feet above the smelt- ;ery site, and tooo feet above the Similkameen river. Climate.—The climate is good both summer and winter, permitting outdoor operations to be carried on practically throughout the entire year.. The' rainfall is moderate and snowfall light. -Transportation.—The Victoria, Van couver and Eastern railway, (part of the Great Northern railway system), is extending its line westward, making a direct route from Spokane, Wash., to Vancouver, B. C. The line has been completed to Princeton. Further construction will beproceeded with as rapidly as practicable until the line shall be completed. Previously the district had been without railway communication, making development or construction work economically prohibitive. With the advent of the railway these conditions have been changed. History.—The development of the mineral deposits of Voigt's camp was commenced 10 or 11 years ago. The country was difficult to prospect owing to its comparative inaccessibility, the steepness of its mountains, and the undergrowth and fallen limber. It was first believed the mineral veins ran east and west. A considerable amount of clearing trail-cuttibg, open-cut and prospect work was required to reach the various mineral Continued on page 4. THE INTERPROVINCIAL ROAD. Engineey Cleveland arrived over the Hope trail" on Saturday, having come to further jtovestigate the route of the in terprovincial trunk road. His party has . reached the bead of Silver creek and are now surveying of. tbe Muddyl JTnis route, following the Roche and {siniilkameen rivers to Princeton is undoubtedly the best-to. be..trt___„ed across the Hope mountain range. From, the standpoints of mileage, snowfall and country to be served this route has no superior. The mining camps along this route have ore .tonnage, machinery and supplies to haul oyer it, besides the "scenic, fishing and hunting attractions are without a peer. It is probable that construction of the roa'd will begin soon. BUSH EIRE BREAKS OUT. Wbat_ threatened to be a serious bush fire broke out in some, asyet, unaccountable manner yesterday on the bench back of the hospital. - Prompt action by Fire Chief Gellatly arid _. ire Warden Coulthard and the readyiresponse of citizeus averted what might otherwise have been a disaster. Th£ground is strewn wit^t dry. and dJan limbs 'and tree tops and affords ready ignition for a match, cigar stub or stray spark. Fire Warden Mac- phaii of Merritt has issued orders that no campers or others will be allowed an open fire within the danger zone of the town under penalty of the full limit of the law. _S*5. I COALMONT TOWNSITE LOTS. As will be observed by advertisement on page 3, lots in the townsite of Coal-' mont are now on sale at very reasonable prices. When one stops to think of the ■" great prosperity and development which usually follow the production of coal ctt a large scale and observes the large and thriving towns and cities built on the ■ foundation of coal mining, it will not be surprising to find that Coalmont is no exception to the rule. It is a fact that the Columbia Coal & Coke Co. is making preparations to mine oa a large scale and it is,a fact that they own a big basin of the finest bituminous coal, on these corner stones of fact will be reared the city of Coalmont. THE PHILOSOPHY OE LIFE. It may be wisdom to toady to ignorance but that policy cannot elevate or edify anyone. Knocking is a mental dssease soon detected in a. short talk with those thus afflicted. Envy and jealousy supply the- motive power for the little hammerers. Neglect of religious worship is a long step toward infidelity and heathenism. Some persons do a kind and generous deed, then sap all' the virtue from it by telling everybody about it. The hatchet and the hammer are the tools of depraved mankind—bury them. The generosity of some persons merely consists of passing the hat to 'next.' ,____. _ __VL$7. (^___2__^, __. <*<HJy<. • - ____________- IIIJ..I.J_II . M Jtn,Y 26, 1911.

Works, of Cali- for__a,~'_i___ the senate quiet and attentive for an hour recently in Washington, with the temperature at 95 deg., wBile he told the story of how he, his wife and son had •been restored to health. He spole with an earnestness and force that ■supplied its ow_i evidence ttat he was performing what he regarded as his duty. He disclaimed, for himself and for Christian Scientists geuerally.any hostility to any school of medicine. He had tried them all, he said, and they had done the best they could. The medical pro- fesSlQh is do.ng' a great work in the healing of disease, he said, and - Christian Scientists never would be found opposing legislation that tends to improve the medical profession. The remarks of Senator Works were provoked by the bill of Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, providing for the consolidation of existing government medical bureaux in a department of public health.' ' I propose to discuss this question from the standpoint of the Christian Scientist',' said Senator Works in opening, 'and to describe rayjj.wn personal experience for U n years. I was a scoffer and derided and ridiculed the claims of Christian Scientists to heal disease. Hut the time came when I was to put their claims to the test. I had suffered for many years from a complication of complaints. At the last I suffered acutely night ahd day. I was extremely weak. Death seemed near at hand. I tried all the schools of medicine,, regular, homeopaths and osteopaths, the latter conceiving tbe idea that th' headaches from which I suffered were due to a displacement of one of the vertebrae which pressed od the spinal cord. I have no word of condemnation or criticism of the physicians who did the best they could for me ; but from the time I began to take the treatments I began to improve until I was completely healed. My wife, who had been an invalid 15 years, began the treatments at the sane time. She h d been told that her only relief was the surgeon's knife. She wss healed in three treatments through Christian Science. But the one thing that appealed to ns more than anything.else was tbe curing of our son of the strong drink habit, which had taken hold of him so completely that we had to take him home and nurse him like a child. He resist-1 ed our pleadings for a year, an(| finally, after a long debauch, he- said : 'I know what Christian Science has done for you and mother. Call in your Christian Science heal ers.' This was almost seven years ago, remarked Senator Work, and from the time he took the first treatment the desire for drink was com pletely destroyed.' The medical trust which strove to gain monopolistic legislation, depriving all others of the right to cure, has met with defeat in the U.S. congress and any like move in Canada or any enlightened country is likely to, and should, receive similar defeat. Freedom of thought in religious, political, social and medical matters is ours and the conscience of every person must be respected. Christian Science is the oldest curative agency in the world healing as it does by divine power alone. It is obedient to the command of Jesus Christ, saviour of mankind, who himself healed and said that those who obeyed his commands and believed on him should do the works that he did and greater. Christian Science takes the bible as its sufficient guide unto eternal life and teaches that there is 'none other name ("Jesus' Christ) under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.' To have the mind and follow in the footsteps of the Master is to, first in importance, cause the sinner to seek salvation then heal him. To think no evil and to be filled with love is the aim of all true Scientists. A multitude of people bound many y;ars by satan in sickness have been cured through Christian Science, thus it is a provable, demonstrable religion and has no relation to spiritualism, theosopby, hypnotism, mind healing or mental suggestion. Scientists do not make proselyte.'', 'have no controversy with other religious bodies, are not sensational in thetr methods and avoid aggressiveness, preferring to work as the leaven, quietly and unobtrvsively. There are 1200 Christian Science churches throughout the world and is growing at the rate of a new church every week, besides thousands of believers who have not yet become members. A few persons misunderstand and misin'er- pret Christian Science not knowing that it is spiritual and cannot be apprehended by the carnal mind for it is enmity against God, Spirit. An orthodox minister says : 'As I have studied this people from the Atlantic to the Pacific I haye seen their spacious temples filled with reverent worshipers and have read aiew the prophecy, 'A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation.' __• _.♦____. _.___♦__♦_ ♦ft *X^4^^♦♦♦♦VVV' I «+__V_V____»_. t*X**t**l**l**t**B^^^ *0 ♦♦♦ THE NEW TOWN I .K~x~:~:~$?§_5 EAST i i M *> *> ♦♦♦ II <* CETON A Payroll City _j_X~;~>*»X~>«>**»>»>«> Manufacturing is the Backbone^ I _____ GREAT CITIES •«_> *i* The British Columbia Portland Cement Co's Plant represents an expenditure of a Half flillion Dollars and will manufacture Portland Cement of the highest quality, Shale Brick, Lime, and Vitrified Clay Products. » The United Empire Co. is now producing a ♦♦♦ Sub=Bituminous Coal of first quality for do- *"* -_L * -"_HW • _*^ i M i f f f f I I I f f I i f I 1 I 1 T f ♦> A A r mestic use.
