Vol. XII. No. 30. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1911. $2 a Year in Advance COPPER MOUNTAIN Voigt's Camp Deal is Reported to be in Final Stages of Completion. Description of Camp and Conditions by Well Known Expert yj Mining Map. ^ <_> £Cl*-~* C^q-**J> For some time negotiations have been in progress for the acquirement by jjew York and Boston men of the large muN ing property, situated on Copper Mountain in the vicinity of Princeton, Similkameen together with other interests owned by Emjil F. Voigt and ■ associates. The transaction has not yet»been completed but it may be shortly, so the following information is published with a view to conveying an adequate idea of tbe pros pective value of the.property and-the considerable importance of the peojected enterprize" which may be expected to lead to the effective development of the property and the utilization of the large mineral resburces it is believed to posses. Much of the information has been ab stracted from a comprehensive!' report on the prope__y.made by C. W. W_6e___k of New York City, whose work in this connection extended over a period of three months, from November 1909, to January i^tp-, yjpjusive. Location.—Voight's camp is situated in Similkameen mining division of Ycle district, British Columbia.- On an air line it is about 120 miles east of Vancouver, 30 miles north of the Interna? tional Boundary line, about 100 miles west of the Boundary district (where aie situated the mines and smelteries of the Granby -and British Columbia Copper companies), and 300 miles north by west of Spokane, Washington. [To be continued.] POLICE INVESTIGATE The investigation ordered by the IMeut. Governor and conducted by W. H B. Webster, S.M., of Nelson, was held today to inquire into the charges and complaints made against Nigel Ewar^ ^hj)e'r_tyt_- Me here,. Some 8 or 9 witnesses were ex amined, not a scintilla of evidence being adduced to bear out the 'numerouscharges and complaints' as alleged by Superintendent Hussey. All the witnesses testi fied in terms of praise of Mr. Ewart at the Princeton hotel fire, and also of his general cohtiucJ since his appointment here. One witness said he knew that the ex constable was/under the influence of liquor 'by his face. Rut all ihe~3___FS swore as to his perfect competence for duty at and after Uiefire. To dismiss a constable and blot his character on evidence so flimsy is nothing short of a crime and on a par with the plot against Dreyfus. Insofar as the evidence produced against Ewart had weight it was farcical, puerile, silly. Rev. Kinney as nn. nf tfrp nntnplginantg, (w__T_.li: .t-heiS were was kept secret) will be made the scapegoat of what looks like a conspiracy. Mr. Ewart has a case for damages for wrongful dismissal, defamation and deprivation of livelihood. The whole matter shows incompetency and a fossilized condition in the department of provincial poHce, and public money wasted. >#_)ITOR WHO DOES, THINGS.- 's i'^3__R <Vi. T.

Franklin Bache, President ■___$} the Bache Denman Coal Company, in a recent paper on dust explosions in coal mines, contended that the best precaution is to remove the dust from all parts of haulage ways that are near enough to working places to be affected by blown- out shots. He considered it unnecessary to remove'the dnst from rooms, as the dust made iu mining and loading coal is comparatively safe. The<_tangerous material is the impalpable dust, made by the continual grinding of passing men, mules and cars on thgj__atways. He contended that if the dust is got out of the haul- wavs in possible juxtaposition to blown- out shots, 90 per cent. STrhrst explosions would be done away with; that if no shots were allowee_ip be fired except when all ejnployees but the s__)Mra__3i_-iiitr/-"of t_____ii___the loss of life in explosions would be greatly reduced; and if the firing of shots in coal not undercut were prohibited there would be almost no dust explosions at all. He adds:—"Sweeping the sides, roof and floor of an entry for a few hundred feet, and loading the dust out every week or two is not an appalling task." He further suggests the adoption of dust proof pit cars, and considers that some time "we may get the miner to see that it is to his interest, as well as ours, to put a premium on mining more lump and less slack coal."

Tbe stimulating influence which East Princeton, with its large cement works, bricktnaking plant, smelter and coal mine, will have upon the whole district of Princeton is sure to mark a new era in progress when these proposed industries are all in operation. The railway spur, bridge and cement works are now under contract, the walls of the latter being well advanced. When all the industries which usually accrue to a large cement works and coal mining are in operation there will be a population of at least 2000 and this influx of people cannot fail to be of immense benefit all around. The two large companies operating in East Princeton have on their directorate men who are known to the commercial world as safe and reliable, besides having that capacity for enterprise which knows no defeat nor procrastination. Prosperity and success have marked their careers because they believe that a dollar in legitimate action is worth more than' a hundred dormant ones which do not contribute to the progress of the country. From tbis time forward East Princeton will be a busy town, increasing and expending until it is a chief city of the interior. By all progressive persons the new town and later city will be a welcome addition on the map of the Similkameen valley. The citizens of old Princeton will watch with a profitable pride the development of the young giant soon to form a member of the incorporated family which will make one united and harmonious city of Princeton. What will build up East Princeton will in no wise detract from the importance of tire old town as a strategical point and mining center. So closely allied in position and interests are the two towns that what benefits one must benefit the other and so with that spirit of live and let live, of fair play, healthy boost or optimism and honorable methods one great mining and industrial city will arise. Welcome, East Princeton! NOTES AND COMMENTS. The extremely hot weather of .the past week has bad the effect of making everything dry as tinder, xeauiring only *h_ slightest spark to 'ignite and spread into devastating flame. Every care should be taken l,y travellers _i«d -campers to prevent fires from starting. The law- is very plain and justly severe with offenders under the Bush Fires Act. It is a serious reflection upon the presumed loyalty of those engaged in business to be seuding away from town for articles or jobs which may be obtained at home. Patronize home industry and help to swell the daily receipts. It would be the height of folly for Princetonians to allow the splendid opportunities which are ours by right of priority and position to be dissipated through sheer neglect or indifference. If, as citizens and property owners, we do not follow our investments with a living, active interest, we cannot hope to maintain that supremacy to which we are fairly entitled by choice location. With our well known coal and metal resources and the great inducements of cheap fuel and water power for manufacturing purposes there should be no difficulty in persuading capital to establish manufacturing industries here. It is getting into touch with the men and tbe money, inducing them to cooperate in the building of smelter or any other works, that is the supreme duty of citizens. It is possible tor the center of 'gravity' to shift from an inert to an energetic townspeople, from a town without manufacturing industries to one having them. In any case trade follows the payroll and where there is one a trade center is the natural result. Star has always tried to impress upon citizens the necessity for making Princeton the permanent trade center of this section. ■All persons of ordinary perspicacity in business will agree that the suggestion can only become effective in proportion as the citizens make it so. As every individual is the author, in a large degree, ot his own success, so the community or town has the shaping of its own destiny. Publicity is the means used to attract notice in these days of the free use of printer's ink and in order to supplement the important and gratuitous work of the1 newspaper a large amount of other advertising matter, such as folders, maps and pamphlets, is required ' The possibilities of Princeton are so varied and vast that there is not much danger of overestimating, all that is wanted is the payroll to preserve tbe nucleus and the boost resultant from judicious advertising. Citizens have a magnificent heritage. Tbe town and district teem with natural wealth and scenic attractions. It is possible that we, as a community, may have become stagnant, blind and indifferent as the result of years of enforced inactivity, but now that the railroad is here and another coming there is no sound reason why the town should not take a big step forward and become a mine producing and manufacturing center.. ♦_♦ *^*4t*4**l**lH Tm.Y i> 1 .11, 1 i 1 T __. 1 i 1 % I 1 f __. t 1 II i i I 1 T I _w ►^♦♦^t^^VV^v^T^ THE NEW TOWN **z~z~:<**:****' EAST CETOf.
