Development of Princeton includes a smelter nearby. Think no evil, then actions will be right, bearing lovely fruit. Construction of the B.C. Portland Cement works in full swing—Coalmont, with its immense deposits of coking coal, is a town of great possibilities—Hedley, world-renowhed for gold, and Keremeos unexcelled for fruit, the Similkameen is indeed a land of plenty. Vol. XII. No. 20. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, \9\\* $2 a Year in Advance DIAMONDS ARE PURE Olivine Diamonds of Excellent Quality; Size Remains for Proof. Many Claims Staked Already—Ground Requires Prospecting for Larger Gems. X The Canadian diamond has-been tested by the greatest gem experts in the world and pronounced equal in quality to the famous product of South Africa, said R. A. A. Johnston, mineralogist and curator of the geological suryej^at Ottawa recently according to a press dispatch. In January last diamonds were discovered on the Olivine mountain in British Columbia. It was the firstdis£ag_E_. of its kind made in Canada ahd Mr. Johns ton naturathjrbecatne "greatly interested and sent for specimens of the glittering gems. The discovery soon became noised about and other mineralogist in different parts of the world also became interested. Among those in whom the discovery awakened a keen interest was___t_-___nz, the Tiffapy gem expert, and one of the foremost authorities on precious stones in the world. He wrote Mr. Johnston from New York and asked him to send speci mens of the Canadian diamonds for the purpose of having them tested. Instead of sending specimens, however, Mr. Johnston went to New York himself and took a quantity of the gems with him. As Good as the Best. Dr. Kunz and others were greatly surprised at the beauty of the Canadian diamond and they are now enthusiastically singing its praises. Dr. Kunz made tests with radium in a dark_i;o.ojn. The Canadian diamond was placed alongside the South African product and showed itself to be its equal. It phosphoresced the same as any well ordered diamond should. This particular occurance is regarded as likely to throw more light on the origin of the diamond than any other occurrence elsewhere. We have been searching through the rock and with the aid of microscopic slides have been able to see the diamond ~__~the rock. This is the first occasion on _w_i>h this hasbeen il.-doge. While in New York Mr. Johnston gave an address on the Canadian diamond before the New York Mineralogical club at the American Museum of Natural History. He exhibited the diamond and all were enthusiastic about it. 'The quality of the diamond is beyond dispute,' said Mr. Johnston. 'The only uncertain thirigabout it now is the size.' J. D. Andras is expected home with his bride on Friday. PLATINUM AND GOLD Dredge will Operate on River Placers to Recover the Precious Metals. Values in Gold and Platinum Found Running at $1.00 Per Cubic Yard. The importance of Princeton district in the eyes of the mining world finds expression in the wide publicity given the discovery of diamonds, and in the successful tests made last winter for platinum arid gold in the placers of the Tulameen and Similkameen rivers. It is quite probable that no other section of mineral country in the world of similar area can produce anything like the value or variety of the precious metals and stones found here. The*r_4<fowing is from the Victoria_£olonist: The completion by the Great Northern of its line to Princeton is reviving interest in the rich placer gronnds. in the Similkameen and Tulameen rivers. Princeton is 150 miles east of Vancouver. It was about 15 years ago that placer mining on these rivers ceased. The miners had worked down as far as they could by hand, and it was impossible to transport dredges into the country because of the absence of railway facilities. Last winter several Vancouver men acquired fifteen! miles on both rivers aud proved soma 6000 feet with a Keystone'drill. The| average taken from the drill holes shows the value of the ground to be more than $1 a cubic yard in gold and platinum. Platinum in Big Demand. As the Ural mountains in Russia contain virtnally the sole known supply of the world's platinum deposits, mining experts attach tfreat importance to the work now in process at Princeton. The Platinum-Gold Fields Co., Ltd., whose per-, sonnel includes John McLeod, David B.l Boyd, W. C. Brown, John F. Tener, supervising engineer on the ground at Princeton, has purchased an open bucket New Zealand California dredge with aj capacity of 2,500 cubic yards a day, and, this dredge will be shipped into Princeton this summer. In che 6,000 feet _|ieff&y blocked out, the actual value in gold and platinum is estimated at .$1,160,000, The life of the ground blocked out is placed at from five to six years. The scene of present operations is just above the Nickel Plate mines at Hedley, which last year yielded a net profit of $200,000. J. E. McCauley returned from Spokane Monday and will start work on the Reco and other mining properties on Copper mountain. ROADS AND TRAILS Member Visits Princeton District and Consults Needs of People. Trunk Road Has Difficult Link; Trail to Steamboat/and Other Mining Camps. v — L W. Shatford, M.P.P., and Road Superintendent Turner are now making a tour of inquisition and inspection of Princeton district, inquiring into the needs of the people and recommending road and trail improvements and construction wherever needed.^ Mr. Shatford is himself a living example of that progress and thrift which follows personal honor and business energy; he has made good, very good, for the Similkameen district and his name will be written on an unsullied page of history as ' L. W:, the promise keeper.' The trunk road to connect Alberta with the Pacific coast is of deep concern to the member and the difficult link to locate and construct lies between Princeton and the west slope of Hope mountains, most in his constituency. The Fiveruilqi route ' is being located^now by R. H Parkinson, P.L.S., and will eventually connect with Summerland and Pentio"' ton. Some of the Public Works. Of the roads trails and bridges receiving immediate attention the following may be named : Trail to SteamboajtjJ.i Snow^e_,,_foreman ; Hope trail, S. Spencer ; Whipsaw trail, Day i£"Knight; road to be completed up Tulameen river to West Princeton collieries; extension of Fivemile road, SIR/ Gibson; road to Holmes mountain \ia,_De_t^jralley, J. Budg ; Wolf Creek road, W. A. Davis and Onemile road, J. Hedley. Extension of sidewalks begun last year, Bridge street grossing at junction of Vermilion av. and |pther improvements will be carried out. Mr. Shatford reports the country prosperous and progressive, due largely to the railway policy of the government. He is building a -fine coun$_y residence on Lake Skaha, a central part of his constituency, from whence he may reacK by auto the outlying parts of the Simir kameen in a few hours. Being a man of affairs he transacts/a large amount of public and private Business and is a very busy man, whichvlatter fact caused him to refuse notable invitations to the coronation ceremonies in London. He left for Hedley today on Jim Hill's limited. J. C. Wilson, representing P. Burns & Co., arrived from Nelson today. Direct mail from Merritt to Princeton will leave Tuesday mornings, from Princeton on Thursdays. TDE WEEKLY .R$fc Concert in Aid of Hospital will be Event of Season; Everybody Come! B. C. Cement Co. Making Superior Qftality of Lime—The Band is Organized. What promises to be both excellent in quality and varied in character is one of those popular entertainments given by the Ladies' Hospital Auxiliary on Friday evening next in the I.O.O.F. hall. The program is of wide range, to suit all lovers of good entertainment. Music, instrumental and vocal, will be presented by new exponents of the art that charms and soothes besides our well known and popular local talent. Recitations, solos, duets, quartets and choruses, dumb-bells,, bagpipes, step dancing and orchestra, will be heard and seen with pleasure. The cause appeals to everyone. Come ! ■ Mrs. F. A. Howse returned from a short visit to Nicola last Monday. W. J. Budd of the B.C. Cement Co., arrived yesterday. The excellent quality of the lime now being burned by the B.C. Cement-Ge^is proven by actual use in the masonry for the cellar of the building being erected by BerJJ_,win. The masons say that the bond of this lime is much stronger than any other they have used and it slakes in five minutes/ other limes taking as many hours. Vtt is a great benefit to Princeton and district to have such a splendid building material nearby. Rev. J. Williams will officiate morning and evening in the school house, next Sunday, May 14th. A meeting of the Church of England congregation will be held immediately after the evening service. R. Peterson, coal expert, arrived from Montana yesterday and will examine the coaj. lands owned by the Great Northern Railway Co.

It will be a matter for congratulation all around if the conciliation board in the big strike of coal miners succeed in bringing about an early settlement of the difficulty between the owners and employees. Taken in the abstract there is never. a good reason for a strike or lockout. Men ought to be reasonable enough and in possession of the spirit of compromise which adjusts all troubles, to settle labor disputes without resort to what is virtually war with its concomitants of want, hatred and woe and loss on both sides. No matter which side wins, if the strike be prolonged, there is a loss to the country which cannot be regained. Where the law now seems to fail is in its inability to jprevent strikes altogether. The Senate at Ottawa has taken into consideration the eight hour bill, a measure to make legal and define a working day as consisting of eight hours. There are three natural divisions of the twenty four hours : work, sleep and play. In this materialistic age there is a ten dency to allow the working hours to encroach upon those of sleep and play. Nothing could be more injurious to the physique of a people than the long hours of incessant .toil which develop the man into a mere machine. The big, fat senators whom we see with our mind's eye reclining on a splendid seat in their chamber, will, no doubt, take good care that they do not work more than eight hours a day. In any case eight hours is the logical work day and any effort to make it legal will be welcome by the poor workingmen of Princeton. or grafting prevails which is ruinous to the independence, efficiency and character of the employee. It is generally known that a tip works wonders with a waiter, securing prompt and obeisant service—the same applies to all who accept tips. It is time something was done to remedy the tipping nuisance, by which the people are bled to swell the coffers of some railway, steamship or hotel corporation, and as in the case of underpaid public servants their pay should be ample to preclude any excuse for tipping. An act of parliament making graft or tipping a punishable offence is about the only remedy in sight for the degrading" practice. The Boston News, after eulogizing the resources, climate and people of Canada, says : 'In twenty years the Canadian northwest will be growing more wheat and raising more hogs and cattle than either the United States or Russia, and Canada will be a nation of 20,000,000.' Boosting such as this is well worth imitation by the Tory press of Canada, who are continually painting dismal word pictures of the future. They profess to see calamitous results from expansion of trade with the United States through reciprocity and they feel somewhat uneasy about the large number of American settlers coming to the country lest they should set up a republic. Well, the farmers are the backbone of Canada—when they are prosperous the whole country is prosperous—and it is good statesmanship to encourage them by helping their products into a larger market and better prices. Reciprocity will do this, and yet some hidebound parti- zans knock it for all their puny blows are able. Canada needs all the reciprocity she can get. Some legislator or government -will earn undying fame and the gratitude of millions of people if the tipping system so prevalent in hotels, railway dining and sleeping cars, steamers, and among the various public services, were abolished entirely. The railway companies underpay their waiters and attendants relying on their ability to make good any deficiency in wages by obtaining tips from the public. It is a most demeaning practice for large companies dealing with the public to enforce a principle which places its employees on a par with the beggar. The same is true of governments and their servants. From the poor, underpaid menial .to the official a system of lipping " Princeton board of trade has had a precarious existence during all the past years of depression caused by a dilatory railway construction policy. The board has accomplished all that could reasonably be expected considering its limited membership. The burden of maintain-; ing it and meeting various outlays of money for the benefit of the public have been borne by a very few citizens. It has long since passed the critical stage of its existence, outlived the scoffers and knockers and demonstrated its usefulness beyond all question. Certain conditions in the evolution incident to progress have arisen, in which every citizen should exercise his influence, and nowhere can that influence be exercised to better advantage than in the board of trade. The board is non-political and absolutely fair in all its transactions and any person with an idea or proposition of merit for the public welfare is certain to be well received.
