No. 45. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 19JO. $2 a Year in Advance 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. LOCAL AND GENERAL Gold and Platinum Dredging a Probable Industry in Near Future. 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 the hills, but the elusive mowitch were 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 is only awaiting the arrival of Jack Frost to open up. In catering to the amusement loving public Mr. Coulthard has 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. Board of trade meeting next Monday evening at 8 o'clock. ' Qp H. Broughton, P.L.S., has surveyed ,_ie townsite of Granite for the government, it having been held as a crown reserve for many years. The boarding house at Cardiff opened on the ist of November. \J W. G. Norrie and wife left on Monday for the coast on their way to Queen Charlotte island, where Mr. Norrie has charge of a coal mine. John George, manager of the British Columbia Portland Cement Co., of Princeton, was in town this week. He 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.— Vernon News. Peter Swanson leaves this week for the coast going from there to Chicago where he will meet Mrs. Swanson returning from a visit to Scotland. A. Kellett, superintendent for j. W. Stewart & Co., V..V & E. contractors, was in town last week looking over the work of construction. A large force of men is employed on the line being built eastwards from Abbotsford. , Bert Irwin has just cleaned up a nice little swag on a real estate investment of $300 in Vancouver, his return netting $1500 cash. The same thing will be done in Princeton next year. The Canadian Northern and V.,V. & ,E- are applying for union station grounds at Chilliwack. C. O. French went down to Spokane last Monday on'a business trip. D. McCurdy, the esteemed postmaster at Similkameen and father of D. Mc- Cnrdy.jr., manager in Princeton for O. H. Carle, was a visitor here last week. W. C. Lyall came up from Hedley on Saturday and is spending Thanksgiving holidays with his family. 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. THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR November 2, 1910.

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.

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. NOTICE The A.
