Princeton coal is the housekeeper's friend; it is clean.
Keep ahead rather than behind the times: Never lag.
Princeton is favored with natural resources and position to become a great manufacturing and industrial center—Cheap fuel and
water power are almost without limit—Large cment works to be established in the coming year—Best location for a smelter:

COAL MINE INCREASE
Princeton  Mine  will Enlarge
Output of  Tonnage
Next Year.
One Hundred Tons Now will be Increased to Five Hundred Daily
In 1911.
The Nelson Daily News says that Managing Director Arthur Hickling of London, head of the million dollar Princeton Coal & Land Co , states that the
present output of loo tons per day will
be increased to 500 tons per day next
year with a plant of that capacity. The
company recently entersd into contract
with the Nickel Plate mine at Hedley to
furnish 10,000 tons of coal. The coal,
according to Mr, Hickfing, is a high
grade lignite, with excellent steaming
qualities. Coal mining operations are
being directed by the resident manager,
Mr. Ernest Waterman, a pioneer of the
district.
Mr. Hickling considers that Princeton
will become an important center as the
railway development of the province
advances. He considers British Colum-
bia a good field for British capital.
THE NEW GOLDFIELDS.
Steamboat Mountain, which premises
to be one of the big goldfields of the
world, is abont fifty miles southwest of
Princeton, in what is known as the Hope
or Cascade range of mountains. Free
milling gold in large quantities is in
evidence and from a mining standpoint
the ore is in a formation which needs no
concentration or smelting plant to treat
it. A 200-stamp mill is to be erected on
one of the properties. The mineralized
belt has been traced to the international
boundary. Assays run from $15 to $200
per ton. The original discoverers have
refused $150,000 bond for eight clatms.
By extending the present Roche river
trail Princeton could be readily put in
touch with the goldfields and made an
outfitting point tor them.
OSOYOOS COAL CO. AT WOEK.
Remarkable Outcrop of Coal—Property is Rich in Resources.
The Osoyoos Coal Co. has begun development of their property on what is
probably the biggest outcropping of coal
in the country. For over three hundred
feet the surface has been plainly exposed
of a seam of coal which has a thickness
of about fifteen feet. It is certainly a
phenomenal showing and is a marvel for
coal experts.
On Friday last _ party was shown over
the property by W. C. McLean, who with
Wm. Gosnell, president of the company,
is directing development of the mine and
work in hand. Mr. McLean has a tunnel all in coal driven about one hundred
feet, which will be continued some distance farther, the proposition being to
block out a large amount of coal in
readiness for actual mining.
A lot of coal has been taken out and
will be hauled to Princeton for trial shipments to outside points and for local consumption. The coal is of the same excellent quality that is being mined at
Princeton and is classed by some geologists as sub-bitumiuous By analysis the
thermal qualities of this coal are equal
to the high grade coals supplied to the
larger markets
The Osoyoos Coal Co. mav well be
pleased with the result, so far, of their
investment. No one, however pessimistic, could deny the existence of a great
wealth of coal, which transportation must
sooner or later prove beyond all doubt.
A wagon road will shortly be completed
to the mine, the distance from Princeton
being about 4% miles, ts
The surface rights are included in .he
property consisting of 1920 acres, much
of whicn is heavily timbered with merchantable pine, and the agricultural possibilities must be reckoned with also as
the soil is productive and will be eagerly
sought in the next few years.
LUMSDEN-BURGESS.
At South Vancouver on the 26th ult..
the marriage of Mr. James D, Lumsden
to Miss Mary E. Burgess was solemnized
in the presence of a large uutnber of
friends and relatives. The bride is a
well known and popular young lady in
Vancouver. The groom requires no introduction, having been a resident of
Princeton for the past three years, during
which time he has been identified with
every movement having for its object the
advancement of the town, besides he is
an accomplished musician and stands
high in fraternal circles. The happy
couple left Vancouver on a honeymoon
trip extending to California aud Toronto,
and on their return will occupy the
pretty home at the corner of Lime St.
and Billiter Av. Star extends hearty
congratulations.
It is stated that the Princeton coal sold
throughout the southeiu portion oftfie
province this fall is a very much superior
article to that sold last year.—Grand
Forks Gazette.
R. H. Carmichael, manager of the
Eastern Townships Bank, returned this
week from Keremeos and Grand Forks.
At the latter place he met Martin Burrell. M.P., who wished to be remembered
to all his friends here. Mr. Burrell regrets his inability to visit Princeton before parliament opens but will do so at
the first opportunity.

Petition to Connect Nieola and Okanagan with Princeton by
Direct Roads.
A petition is being circulated by Percy
Rowlands to be sent to the government
for the completion of the Onemile road
to Nicola and also that of Fivemile to
Trout creek and the Okanagan country.
Needless to say, the petition is being well
signed.
Vancouver parties have staked ground
covering miles of the Similkameen and
Tulameen rivers near Princeton. Experimental work will be carried on during low water this fall and winter and
IS-Wccessful gold and platinum dredging
will be prosecuted on a large scale,
Deer are not plentiful as yet, the mild
weather enticing them to remain in the
higher altitudes. Hunters are, however,
plentiful. Last week the Missess Freeman armed with rifles and their brothers,
also armed with rifle and kodak, were in

not to be taken with snap or shot. Better luck next time.
J. O. Coulthard has ' evervthing in
readiness for the Owl Skating Rink and

spared nothing to make the Owl convenient, comfortable and attractive. On
special occasions orchestral selections
will be given, affording rythm to the
swiftly moving feet of the skaters. Season tickets are going rapidly.
The lights exhibited in front of build
ings are not only of good service to pedestrians but give the town a cheery
aspect on dark nights. A light on the
square at the junction of Bridge St. and
Vermilion Av. would be a blessing and
convenience.

has  already interested local capital in
the enterprise, which he is confident will
be a success. The plant will cost about
$250,000. He states that he knows no
part of the world where a more favorable location for such works could be
found, as the rock, clay and coal are
there to be found all in one locality.—

BIRTH OF THE NEW ERA.
New Era is the name of the latest exchange to be received in Star's sanctum.
It is printed at Chilliwack and has a
healthy look, being well patronized with
real, live ads. In politics it will be independent, so it says, with the qualification that it will not be neutral. The
New Era has the same size of page as
Star and presents a very neat appearance.
Chilliwack is one of the most progressive
towns in B.C. and the New Era reflects
that condition in its bright and healthy
pages.
THE NEW LIQUOR ACT.
Chief License Inspector Campbell and
Chief Bunbury of the provincial police
in town this week and visited the various
hotels of Princeton district. Mr. Campbell is making his first inspection under
the new Liquor Act and is firmly enforcing the terms of it. The new law is
proving irksome to some who enjoyed
the wide latitude afforded under the old
law. But the new act is framed in the
interests of all classes and once it becomes readily interpreted, with proper
administration, it will be found satisfactory to all concerned. Mr. Campbell is
a very capable officer and has several
•well merited promotions to his credit
since first accepting service for the government.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A deputation of six hundred
farmers has gone from the wheat
provinces to Ottawa asking the government to assist in lowering the
tariff between the United States and
Canada. It is evident that the old
battle of free trade vs. protection is
to be re-fought in the next general
elections in Canada and the United
States. And the sooner all political parties take the common sense
view of it that it is a fundamental
right of man to buy in the cheapest market without let or hindrance
the sooner will come prosperity for
all classes. If the Auglo-Saxon
countries would adopt free trade it
would not be long until the rest ot
the world would follow. Universal
free trade means universal peace—
the poor, all who labor, should aim
at iree trade.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier came into
power some fifteen years ago ridiug
the free trade horse. He is still
riding the same old nag, but is no
nearer the goal than when he first
mounted. He has had time enough
to 'make good' and has failed.
Now is the opportunity of the Conservatives. Although it will re-
q lire some courage to throw overboard the jonah of protection, yet it
will be much better than to remain
Wdterlogged. The hour is here,
where is the man?
Probably no form of leisure or of
enforced idleness can be more profitably spent than in reading books,
magazines and papers. It is one of
the necessities of our present day
civilization that every man and
woman should be conversant with
the current topics of the day and
'well read* on the social-political
problems which touch us through
the ordinary affairs of life. A public library is one of the best, if not
the best, mediums for dispensin in-
f >rtration. It has been demonstrated long ago that as a resort for
young men or strangers temporarily disengaged it possesses all the
requirements for improving mental
equipment and adding to the store
of useful knowledge. Some at-
t-_mjt toward the establishment of
a lit rary or reading room in Princeton should be made at an early
date.
Merritt is grasping vigorously
with a hospital proposition costing
j 20,000.

OIL BURNING SMELTER.
An experimental oil burning smelter
plant for treatment of metalliferous ores
has been erected at the Vananda mines
on Texada island, and the scheme is now
being tested under the direction of Tho..
Kiddie, formerly connected with the
Northport smelter. Mr. Kiddie stated
that the plant was working successfully
although some modifications of it would
be necessary before a final decision as to
its adoption was announced. The process is the invention of J. Anderson, of
Chicago, and retains the blast principle,
but obviates the use of coke. If half the
merits claimed for it are true the present
methods of ore reduction will be revolu
tionlzed. It is claimed it will reduce the
cost of smelting by 50 per cent., thus
rendering possible the reduction of low
grade ores which under present conditions cannoi be reduced at a profit.
