Palls- Coal Shipping. Asbestos has been found on Manard's ranch, near Okanagan Falls. It is said that the owner has been offered $350,000 for the property, provided an average depth of three inches is maintained the whole length of the vein. ' The payroll of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. for the month of April was 5175,907. Just consider what the payroll in Princeton will be wheu the wheels of industry are all a-humming. Dick Fitzgerald has struck a true fissure vein of rich galena ore on the Mol- lie Reilly, Whipsaw camp. He is getting assays made and expects them to run high. He says Sam Spencer has a great silve -lead proposition, which is being developed. The Vermilion Forks Co. are shipping coal regularly now and it is understood a large increase in the underground force will be made at once. Prof. Walker, of Toronto university, is making an investigation of the mineral, molybdenite, for the Dominion government. If any person knows of the ex istence of molybdenite in Princeton district it will interest them to know that it is extremely valuable for armor plating "ton battleships. In appearance it resembles graphite and leaves a trace on paper. Occurs in granite, gneiss, mica schist and allied rocks. The Columbia Coal & Coke Co. of Granite Creek, have bonded some 600 acres of land owned by Thos. Rabbitt, CEMENT WORKS. Purchase of Ground and Survey made —Proposition Looms Large. Matters are assuming definite form in connection with the establishment of a large cemeut works on property recently; owned by_£he United Empire Co. on Onemtlisr It is reported that some 80 acres of mineral land have been sold to a company, stockholders of which have interests in cement works at Owen Sound Ont. and at Calgary, Alberta. Nothing could be learned fi&r publication from the promoter, J. George, who Is here, ostensibly, for tl/e purpose of making preliminary arrangements for tbe acquisition of ground 'and organization generally. It is, however, a well known fact that the mineral clay, rich in cement constituents, is abundant on the United Empire. A large initial expenditure is necessary to construct cement works and both men and material will be required, the former to erect buildings and install plant and the latter for the various purposes of manufacture, shipping and development The Great Northern is expected to put in a spur to the works. A large force of men will be employed when the work of construction begins in the next few weeks. THE PRINGLE DRAMATIC CO. Princeton playgoers had a rare treat for three nights last week in the presentation of drama ranging from comedy to the melodramatic, from the almost tragical 'Reaping the Harvest' to the burlesque 'What Happened to Tones.' The Pringle Stock Co. are undoubtedly the strongest and best equipped in histrionic talent of any company yet appearing on the stage here. They are not merely actors with prescribed gesticulations and mannerisms which are non-emotional in effect, but they interpret characrer with such telling emphasis as to cause the real laugh, the real tear, and these with a spontaneity from the weaker sex in the audience which proved their quicker mental perceptiveness and better ability to appreciate. It would be a labor of love to review the plays at length and critically weigh and analyze the leading characters, but space forbids. Mr. and Mrs. Pringle in their leading roles certainly proved their right to rank high up in the galaxy of that stellar firmament to which all actors aspire and only the good attain. Princeton awaits their return. CANCEL EIRE PERMITS. Extra Vigilance to Prevent Forest Fires—Wardens Alert. Fire Warden Coulthard received a telegram from Chief Gladwin last week to cancel all permits to set out fires from the 12th of July. Restrictions may be further applied and made very stringent to prevent destruction of timber or other property. The present dry spell has moved the government to redouble precautions and save our forests from entire destruction. The origin of every fire, must be followed up and the guilty ones punished to the limit of the law. At the coast large tracts of country have been burnt recently, entailing a heavy expense on the government in maintaining a. big force of firefighters. The careless dropping of a lighted match, the emptying of a smoker's pipe or the stub of a cigar thrown away have caused much damage, but the greatest source of danger is from careless campers and clearing fires. The government has acted wisely in prohibiting permits and every person should assist the wardens in the discharge of their duties and the prevention of destructive fires. TULAMEEN PUT1NDM Saving Precious Metal by Primitive Method was not Success. No Doubt Platinum Mining would Pay on Tulameen if Scientific System Adopted. [Continned.from June 22.] Tha early method of separating the platinum from associated mineials in concentrates were crude in the extreme. The platinum of the placers was a secondary consideration compared to gold, for the primary object of all the miners in the district was the recovery of the gold. Platinum does not amalgamate with pure rnetcufy. In the first yearoFmining, tneretore, when the miner came to clean up his concentrates, he proceeded to separate his gold by amalgamating it with mercury, and valuable constituents which would not,'amalgamate werp dlsr regarded.

Crockett of the Merritt Auto Co., arrived in town last Thursday with some passengers, making the run of over seventy miles in 7 hours. For mountain driving this may be considered good time. The road is good, although the grades are heavy iu places and the curves somewhat jerky. For scenery, however, the reuje is without a superior and good accommodation may be found at the Otter Flat Hotel, Tulaineen, where there is lake bathing and fKhing. Mr. Crockett will deliver passengers between Merritt and Princeton as occasion requires" and as parties of three or four may want. A special service will be established at first, to be followed by a regular one as business demands. Rates, $5 per honr; party of four, ten hours. $40 per day. The auto is a quick and therefore cheap means of travel. See adv. TOWN AND DISTRICT. Lost—A Waterman Fountain Pen, with gold bands. Finder please return to Star Office. Harry Pringle.

NEW BUILDINGS. sy- Contract for Hospital has been Let- Business Buildings. D. M. French is giving some finishing touches to his new block on Bridge St., next the A. E. Howse Co's big store. When completed it will be a handsome addition and afford needed space for his own expanding business, also leaving room for two stores on the main floor, "besides upstair apartments. Mr. French is a progressive young man and anticipates, as we all do, a great future for Princeton. He is helping to inaugurate that future by enterprise and industry. The rooms are all rented. ; Bert Irwin is building a cottage for Geo. Freeman on Halliford Av. It will be a snug and comfortable structure. H. H. Avery is accumulating the material for his block to be erected on the corner of Fenchurch Av. and Bridge St. A. E. Fowler has the contract. Tenders for the construction of tbe Princeton general hospital were opened and the contract awarded last Friday bjf^ the hospital board to A. E. Irwin, tVrf successful tenderer. There were five tenders submitted, the lowest being accepted. As formerly described, the building will be one-story, 38x65, plastered, and will cost $3,250. Tbe contract calls for the completed building by Nov. 1st. Mr. Irwin will have a force of carpenters at work immediately and the work will not be allowed torjag after commencement has been made. *M : THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR July 20, 19io. The Similkameen Star.

The next census of Canada will be taken under date of June 1st, 1911, and will embrace the subjects of population, mortality, agriculture, manufactures, minerals, fisheries and dairy products. Population wiil be recorded under the heads of residence and personal description, citizenship, nationality and religion ; profession, occupation and trade or means of living; wage earnings and insurance; education and language spoken, and infirmities. Every person living on 1st June will be entered on the schedule of population by name, as member of a family, institution or household, together with place of habitation, sex, relationship to head of the family or household, and whether single, married, widowed, divorced or legally separated. The month of birth, year of birth and age at last birthday will also be recorded. Entries will be made for each person to show the country or place of birth, year of immigration to Canada if born elsewhere, year of nat uralizatiou if formerly an alien, and also racial or tribal origin, nationality and religion. Every person of alien birth who has become a naturalized citizen is a Canadian by nationality ; and every British subject with residence in Canada, as well as every native of Canada who has acquired citizenship by birth or naturalization, is also a Canadian by nationality. Every person having an occupation or trade will be entered for it, bnt if employed in the census year at some other occupation for part or whole time he will be so recorded also, if the person is working on own account, the entry will be so made. Wage earners are entered to show the number of weeks employed in 1910 at chief ocenpation or trade, the hours of working time per week; the total earnings in 1910 and the rate per hour when emploved by the hour. Entries are required to be made for each person showing the amount of insurance held at date of the census, upon life, as well as against accident or sickness, together with the cost of such insurance in the census year. Under the heading of education and language records will be taken for every person of five years of age and over, showing the number of months at school in 1910 and if the person can read and write, and the language commonly spoken by each person. The cost of education in 1910 for persons over 16 years of age at college, convent or university is also called for. The last question on the schedule of population relates to infirmities. It calls for a record of each person having an infirmity. If blind, deaf and dumb, crazy or lunatic, idiotic or silly, a record thereof will be made in the proper column, and the age at which the infirmity appeared. As the census will be taken next year it is important that every adult should be informed as to what is required of him or her and Star will be pleased to publish any information that will assist in this great national work. *B* __ m I We nave money I 1 Y I i 1 To invest in any sound proposition Timber, Coal or Agricultural Lands Make a clear sketch and write fully in your first letter if you want a definite answer Western Canada Investment Co.

GIBSON. April 18th, 1910. I fm July 20, 1910. THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR TULAMEEN PLATINUM. From First Page. commercial value of the property began to be realized, the couceutrates that would not amalgamate with mercury were washed in a g"'d p«" an,fl the plati Big Time & Money (Saver for Travellers num separated by this method. Natur aHv this platinum was not^_very pure, frequently much chromite or magnetite being also present. This, however, was invariably taken into account by local dealers, who made a price, affording a margin to protect themselves from any loss by reason of impurities. As no systematic operations for the recovery A platinum primarily, have as yet been undertaken, the methods of separation have not improved. So far as at present known the mineral does not occur in commercial quantities in any other association than in the placers Though a few prospectors have in recent years been engaged in a search for platinum in situ,' no success has as yet been ■*> attained in this direction, and it is ex- e tremely doubtful if it ever will be. The placers, therefore, are the only available source. From these the platinum must necessarily be recovered by the usual methods employed in the placer mining of gold. In reference to the separation of plati- uum from gold and other heavy minerals eoncentrated in the washings, an allusion to certain experiments carried out by Dr. T D. Day and Prof. R. H. Richards, at Portland in 1905, on the black sands of the Pacific coast, may be of service. In these experiments it was found that plati- r f num and the platinum metals had a curi- ^X^bus relation to~"meicUiy, fin, tu quote (J from the published account of the inves- r^Ligations : 'So long as the sodium amalgam is rich in sodium they amalgamate perfectly, but as soon as the sodium is spent the platinum metals leave the amalgam and refuse to remain combined with it. This property will prove of value in cleaning platinum metals, for they can at first be separated from the said metals with the gold, and then by simply standing in water, the gold and platinum amalgam part into gold amalgam aud free platinum grains which can easily be separated in the pan. The indications are that this property may be used for commercial separation as well as j£pr assay, if the sodium does not make the expense too high. The cleanup barrel or barrel amalgamator may prove suitable for the treatment on a commercial scale with sodium amalgam.' There are, no doubt, placers in the Tulameen district that would well repay a reasonable capital outlay in an endeavor to recover platinum therefrom ; more especially so, in view of the present high market value of the metal ; but here, as elsewhere, successful results cannot be expected without the exercise of intelligence and competency in the direction of operations. The total production of platinum from the Tulameen district for a period of 18 years enflinf* iQngwaso^Sfiii miTwps, valued at $45,892. "* [Concluded.

Tbe-miner needs the book for the facts it gives him regarding geology, mining, copper deposits and copper mines. The metallurgist needs the book for the facts it gives him regarding copper milling, leaching, smelting fcnd refining. The copper consumer needs the book for every chapter it contains.

The Copper Handbook gives statistics and general information on one band, with thousands of detailed • mine descriptions on the other, covering the copper mines of the entire world, and the 40 pages of condensed statistical tables alone are worth more than the price of the book to each and every owner of copper miuing shares.
