Strong Ledge Indicates Permanency —Ore Maybe Hauled Here on Wagon. The history of Whipsaw Camp has been a succession of surprises and revelations in mining. From the fragmentary surface showings down to the well defined ledge matter there have been surprises in every advance of development/ ypjxperts and geologists are agreed thatr nk__ promising conditions exist and that these are sufficient warrant for the expenditure of money and labor to prove iu the usual way that mineral riches are abundantly present. The ore, the gangue and the true fissure veins all assure the miuing man that he can safely make preliminary investigation on behalf of prospective owueis without probability of losing a cent. On the Marion gioup and the M. & S., owned by Sam Spencer and wife and Hnghie Cam£___ell, a strike h ._ been re- centTv made which proves bevond all doubt that Whipsaw is in the front rank with the celebrated cainps of the world. Ore values leavejpo i_k>_i for conjecture, and the body, \yf__rio foot face in place and depth of 20 feet, ought to be inviting enough fot any investor. The ledge matter lies between a granite hanging wall and schist foot wall. The exposure is made by open cuts, shaft and tunnel, the latter being all in ore. From a number of assays made values run from $45 on the Marion group to $214.82 per ton on the M. & S. Several assays made of ore from the Marion group and the M. &S yield valnes as follows. Silver, 32 ozs., $16.05, g°'d, 83 cents-—total, $46.18. Silver-lead, 310 ozs., copper, 2 per cent., 68 percent, lead, gold 60 cents—total, $214.81. Another assay, $86.82, containing 104 ozs. silver lead, 3 per cent, zinc, and gold. Mr.-Baternan, of the Dominion geological surve^party, recently visited these mineral properties and was very much plea&edand interested \___r~_xe~~ofe~"and the conditions, defining the veins as true fissure. The ore is in the picture class, specimens of which attract not only the eye but convince one of values in the various metals carried. Mr. Spencer states that he could begin shipping ore tomorrow if there were a wagon road from Ninemile to Whipsaw, a .distance of about 12 miles down grade. With this road he would be able to employ a number of teams hauling ore all winter to Princeton. No doubt, when the Department of Works is in possession of the data necessary, a road to Whipsaw will be constructed. MINES AND MINING. /Charles Camsell, who spent the early part of the summer in the Similkameen, further investigating the diamont occurrences at Olivine Mountain, near Tula meen, and has since taken in the Steamboat Mountain section^ will occupy the fall with exploratioto/work in the Lilloeet district. The International Coal & Coke Co., Ld., of Coleman, Alta., shows net profits in its report for 1910 of $300,097.

Dip N 5 degrees E 15 degrees No. 10 Tunnel No. 1 Coal-seam two and a half miles northeast of Princeton on a tributary [Empire] of Onemile creek, was driven by tbe United Empire Co., also in 1908 opening up coal [2,400ft ] of about the same grade and character as that de veloped by the V. F. M. & D. Co. The United Empire Co. say enough coal ha-: ing been disclosed to enable them to depend upon a supply sufficient to maintain shipments on an extended scale for years. Mr. Camsell, Dominion geologist, declares a coal outciop [2,475ft.] on Summers creek, which may probably be No. I Coal-seam of the Vermilion Forks Mining and Development Company. Two miles up Summers creek the sand stones are well exposed on the bank of the stream, found overlaid by rtcent volcanic rocks, and fur.her below they ap pear to dip below the surface, which are strong indices of the coal areas or basin b.ing increased try underlying these vol- canics.

The liberal government is no more and Liberalism in Canada is but a tattered remnant of its former greatness. Two causes contributed to the downfall of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his party. First, the annexation cry, which frightened electors into a stampede for high protection; second, corruption, which had got beyond control and permeated every department of government. Meaningless and indiscreet remarks of some prominent politicians in the United States afiorded a ready text for tbe ultra loyal flag-wavers and silly sentiment proved stronger than the sound doctrine embodied in a purely business arrangement. No patriotic citizen will deny that the government deserved defeat on the ground of corruption, in fact it had been courting its own destruction by the most flagrant acts of wrongdoing on the part of its employees and members of parliament within its fold. What of the future? The rebuff administered to a friendly neighbor nation by rejection of its offer for freer trade relations is likely to react in a search in other quarters for what Canada refused. South America will profit by our loss of reciprocity and free trade. The Conservative party in Canada and the Republican party in the United States stand for protection and the high tariff wall. Retaliatory tariff war will begin as soon as Mr. Borden, the new prime minister, revives the old duties, or higher as has been intimated, of his party prior to 1896. The friction and unpleasantries resulting from a retaliative attitude .by both countries means militaryism |and probable reoccupation of Can ada by English garrisons. Mr Borden and the Conservative party are under promise to contribute say at least twenty-fiv_ millions of dollars towards the construction of dreadnoughts for Engl.aid's navy. Thus, in the long run, Canada would have been much better off to have accepted reciprocity and eventually free trade than to slam the door in our neighbor's face. One can only hope in these peril ous times that American sentiment will rise higher and broader than party and overlook the seeming affront. If the people of the great republic will show the world that they are capable of taking a high- minded view of their responsibilities toward humanity in general and adopt free trade at one stroke, not only as a sound business principle, but as tending toward universal peace and fraternity, then they will have won glory enough and the gratitude of all peoples. Too many little Canadians and dwarfed British born have robbed Canada of any immediate prospect she may have had for free trade aud with it the honor of having, in some small measure, aided in disarming the nations and unburdening of the poor. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is a unique figure in the history of Canada, and will measure up to the highest statesman in this or any country. Lovable in character, clean in his personal record, magnetic in influence, and brilliant in ability, he may be said to outshine all contemporaries. Having spent a long life in the service of his country, he retires conscious of leaving to posterity a record of faithful labor and duty well done. He loves his native Canada fervently, as a true son of the soil, and he knows what it is is to be falsely accused and maligned as the price ot his pure patriotism. The visible Laurier may fade away into nothingness, but tbe spirit of this great statesman shall never depart. *i< *^><z*z**z**z**z***^t+%**z^ -O*** I 4 I f £_ 1 i 1 1 1 V 1 1 t 1 1 1 m i f m m M ■*, September 27, 1911.

These two boreholes were drilled by Peter Drummond Sullivan, di ill operator. Six boreholes by the Vermilion Mining and Development Co. in the Tertiary basin. No. 1 Borehole (2,100ft.) in Princeton near the bridge over and on the west bank of the Similkameen river, and opposite No. 1 tunnel was put down 280ft.-, passing through five seams of coal from 2in. to 18 ft. 5/_in. thick respectively aggregating 32ft. nin. The 18ft. 5j_in. seam was struck at 49ft. No. 2 Borehole (2,100ft.) about one mile southwest of Princeton on the west bank of the Similkameen river near the southwest corner of Lot 706 was put down 302ft. Tin , passing through six seams of coal from 2in. to 5ft. respectively, aggregating ii.ft.6in* The 5ft seam was struck at 201ft. iin. No. 3 Borehole (2,100ft.) Princeton on the west bank of the Similkameen river about % mile southwest of No. I Borehole on Lot 706 was put down 340ft. No. 4 Borehole, 2,200ft., about 5 miles south of Princeton on the west bank of the Similkameen river, and about 7 chains north of the mouth of Stevenson creek, was put down 257ft. No. 5 Borehole, 2,300ft, was put down 165ft. on same bank of river as and about 32 chains uorth of No. 4 Borehole. A shaft, 2,2ooft., was put down several £re^_o coal on same bank of river as No. g^Borehole and about 32 chains south of the mouth of Bromley creek. No. 6 Borehole, 2,looft., was put down 332ft in Princetou on the east bank of the Tulomeen river, about 17 chains south of bridge which crosses that river. Have no records of Boreholes Nos 3 4, 5 and 6 of the Vermilion Forks Mining and Development Co., and of Mr. Sharp's Borehole, beyond what is given in the text. For the records or logs of the drilling of Nos. 1 & 2 Boreholes of Vermilion Forks Mining & Development Co., of Nos. 1 and 2 of the Similkameen Valley Coal Co., please see the reports of A. G Larson and A. Faulds. The other records may be had on application to Messrs. Ernest Waterman and Alexander Sharp. These records demonstrate that most of ; the workable coal-seams of-any commer- ■ cial value are within 300ft. of the surface, B excepting that in No. 1 Borehole at 678ft. which is very near the lowest point of the lowest synclinal or basin. No prospecting by drilling appears to have been done north of the Similkameen river. (To be continued in next issue.) WATER NOflCE.

If the investment is to be made in real estate there are several things to be considered : The situation of the town, climatic conditions, transportation facilities, and primarily the amount of the monthly payroll. When these questions are asked regarding Coalmont they may all be answered to the credit of the town. The situation and climatic conditions are ideal ; the main line of the V.,V. & E. railway runs througnlthe town on its way to Vancouver. The Columbia Coal- & Coke Co. operating here have practically an inexhaustible supply of a pure bituminous coal. They are installing immediately a plant which will handle 2000 tons of coal in 8 hours—this means employment for between 800 and 900 men all told. Figure out this payroll and see how many coal mining towns in B C. can beat it. In a very short time Coalmont will necessarily have a population of from 2000 to 2500 people. Will this cause real estate to rise ? We all know the answer. Then take the opportunity that presents itself now—buy first hand and reap the benefit of this increase. The prices and terms are such that anyone can afford to inves to the extent of one or two lots. They range from $175 to $550, on terms of % cash, balance over 18 months.

That will be 12 years ago next birthday. It was at first issued as an eight-page paper by Jas. Anderson, who, owing to the delay in railway construction and the consequent lack of progress, transferred his interests to A. E-HHowse, on March 1^^1902. For nearly nine years Mr. Howse has been owner of the Star, excepting one year when B. Stone Kennedy operated it. Mr. Kennedy transferred his interests to Mr. Howse aud the paper has remained in his ownership until recently transferred to J. M. Wright, who is managing editor of the Princeton Printing and Publishing Co. The Star is now printed in eight-page form, affording all the space for news and advertising that the town requires. It is intended to keep the Star fully abreast of the times, both in tbe mechanical and editorial departments. A new office building, linotype machine, jobbing plant and presses are proposed. To accomplish all in the program laid down tbe patronage of the" public is vital. Send along your subscriptions, advertisements, and job printing^ No newspaper can live without them. The interests of Princeton and district will be maintained and defended by the Star to the best of its bumble ability—your patronage is courteously invited. V J. M. WRIGHT, P.S.—It is intended to run the Star on a Cash basis, a system that is in vogue with successful newspapers. The necessarily small amounts for subscriptions entail too much labor to render bills, and, in future they must be prepaid.

Another Dedicated Patent—Logan Waller Page, of the diyision of good roads of the United States Agricultural Department, has secured and dedicated to the public a patent for a cement concrete aud method of mixing and preparing same. The method consists in adding to an ordinary cement and water mixture, a quantity of non-volatile mineral oil. The oil is added before the cement begins to set, and the quantity of oil used does not exceed 25 per cent, of the cement. Destruction op Rats and Gophers. An East African publication contains a description of a method of destroying rats and gophers, followed in Java, in which ca:bon bisulphide is employed. In carrying out the method a small quan tity, usually about half a teaspoonful of the carbon bisulphide is poured into the rat or gopher hole, and, after waiting a few moments to let the liquor evaporate, the mixture of air and vapor is lighted, a small explosion resulting and filling the holes with poisonous gas, killing the rats or gophers instantly. Such a process practiced openly might be objectionable under some circumstances, because of dauger from fire resulting from the explosion, aud a field for invention appears to offer itself to provide some form of fireproof gun or explosion chamber suitably formed to be inserted in the mouth of the rot or gopher hole and adapted to enclose the explosion and discbarge the resulting noxious gas into the hole. Aerial Postal Service in Eng LAND.—The English Postmaster-General has arranged for the inauguration of the 'First United Kingdom Aerial Post' in London on september~9__—Ttie aerial mail will be collected from special letter boxes located in several depirtmei.t stores. It will be taken by automobile to the Heudon aerodrome, whence an aeroplane will carey it t i Windccr Castle in le__J,han half an hour. From the post office at Windsor Park the letters will be sent in the regular way to all parts of.the world. I TREATMENT OF DRUNKENNESS The days of the confirmed drunkard are numbered in New York C'ty, where an Inebriety Board has been clothed with full powers to provide a hospital and in d.istrial colony for the care of and cure of habitual drunkards. It is pointed out that the constitution of the board is practically a recognition of the undoubted fact that drunkenness is a disease demanding medical and corrective treatment. Ths recog nition has been long in taking any practical form by the people through their governments, yet if private efforts at curing drunkenness have a measure of success why should not the state make provision for the cure of those "whose citizen ship has been lowered, e;pecially when the state shares in the immense return? obtained from the liquor traffic. In British Columbia there are liquor laws which if properly administered, will practically eliminate the confirmed drunkard from society. It is every citizen's privilege and duty to help in the enforcement of these laws, and thus conduce to the betterment of the unfortunates addicted to this evil. ^g^^^LJc J Priest Phutographer Princeton "DOARD OF TRADE, PRINCE- *-* TON, B.
