Vol. ix. No. 33. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1908. $2 a Year, in Advance P?r GRADERS AT WORK Camps Built Between Hedley and Princeton on the Railway Line. Laborers are Plentiful in Cities but Pew Wanted on V.V.&E. at Present. K. G. Hankinson, formerly clerk for J. H. Kennedy, engineer of V.,V. & E. construction, has the rock and earth contract below Allison and is now getting lumber and other material on the ground for the camp and the rock cut. Where this work is located some mineral indications are to be found. The ground has been staked in the hope that the railway cuts will uncover a well defined lead of pay ore. A grading camp was started at Smith Creek, five miies west of Hedley, last week. The steam shovel at work below Hed ley is evidently a ricketty machine if one may judge by the frequent breakdowns. The grade would have been completed there a month ago but for these occurrences. Grading has begun on the projected line between Wenatchce and Riverside in Washington. Laboringmen are reported plentiful in the states and work is hard to get outside of the harvest field. During election year jawsmiths seem to be more in demand than manual laborers. ABOUND THE WORLD. Misses Spurling and Philpotts, touring young ladies from England weie in town last week taking in the sights. They were en route round the world and left the C P.R. at Sicamous to enable them to see Princeton. They visited the coal mine and other points of interest taking views of many inviting landscape scenes. They were delighted with all they saw leaving for Nicola where they will catch the C.P.R. again. TRAVEL IS EDUCATIVE. The reports of those who have returned from outside places give the impression that rubbing up against the big, bustling world and taking note of the metamorphoses of time is good for the body as well as the mind. Here we enjoy the simple life without any frills, but to remove cobwebs from the brain travel excels all expedients. There is no doubt everyone in Princeton ought to takes, a little jaunt when the railway gets handy, in fact many have already vowed to do so. So, hurry along the railway, Uncle Jim; life's shadows lengthen and eyes are growing dim. LOOKING FOR LOCATIONS. Messrs. Oliver, Price and Thompson of Penticton were visitors to Princeton last week, leaving on return trip early Monday morning. They came to spy out the land for fruit and agricultural purposes. Small acreage with water to irrigate it seems to be the extent of'tbeir requirements for a beginning. They were all pleased with the town and its environs and may come here to locate permanently when the railway runs. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. THE INDEPENDENCE MINE. W. Yolen Williams of Spokane, arrived at Tulameen last Wednesda}*, going on to Bear Creek next day. He is the Granby expert and final arbiter of all mining deals with that company. Mr. Williams in company with the Granby engineer is 'taking stock' of the Independence group, on which Albert Johnson and his gang of miners have been working for the past two years. It is understood that Mr. Williams has a very favorable opinion of the Independence group and as it is his 'say so' which guides his company there is not much doubt as to the Granny Co. acquiring the property. Begin Work in the Platinum Field on Upper Tulameen. Chas. Camsell, Dominion geologist, was in town last week on his wav to the Upper Tulameen, where a portion of his party under Mr. Reinecke will be engaged in topographical work. This section is the well known platinum bearing zone tributary to the Tulameen River and Granite Creek. From a geological point of view Mr. Camsell expects this field to be very interesting.- He will take a large quantity of rock and ore specimens to Ottawa for analyzing purposes upon which he will base his report for publication. The information to be derived from Mr. Camsell's repoit will be awaited with great expectancy. Upon it will depend the operations of many who have mineral claims there. It would therefore, seem to be the duty of the Geological Director or the Minister to have the report in the hands of mining perple and the public generally as soon as it is made. If the printing bureau at Ottawa is not able to do the work promptly then it should be done by some private printing house. Mining reports of any kind depreciate in interest, if not in value, as the ratio of time increases between the dates of making and that of publication. Mr. Camsell is making a thorough investigation of Camp Hedley and will finish about the first of September. TOWN AND DISTRICT Weather Continues Very Dry and Warm—Showers are Needed. No Public Telephone Office in Princeton Yet—Board of Trade, will Issue Literature. D. O Day writes from Portland sani/- tarium that he is rapidly improving under treatment of Seventh Day Adventists who run the institution. The general committee of the Board of Trade met on Monday night and arrauged preliminaries for the publication of literature bearing on resources of Princeton and district. Arthur Hickling, managing director of the V.F.M. Co., was recently in St. Paul, Minn., on his way across coutinent. R. B. Dickson is still a sick' man as the result of surgical treatment in the Royal Columbian Hospital at New Westminster. His doctor is anxious to afford permanent relief, if not a cure, of the cancer from which he suffers.- E. F. Voigt and wife arrived from Portland, Ore., last Thursday, going direct to their home on Copper Mountain. ■ The C.P.R. railway survey party under Mr. Carry, C.E., are running the preliminary line along Christina Creek toward Five-Mile, and about ten miles from town. The line runs through a rugged country. . Charles Wilson, of the P. Burns Co., was in town last week ou a business visit which he extended to Otter Valley. J. Campbell, engineer of the Granby mines, came in last week, going on to Bear Creek to see the Independence group. W. C. McDougall arrived back from coast cities last week and reports good times. Building is active and business is fair. Real estate has not suffered in price and the money stringency is relaxing. . H. V. O. Chatterton, rfcpresenting the R. P. Rithet Co., Victoria, was in towh Monday. He says that business is good throughout the province. "Chatty" is always a welcome visitor to Princeton having gained his popularity while manager of the Howse Co. IsSE'J Thos. Bradshaw, of Bradshaw's Hotel) Fifteen-Mile Creek, was in town Sunday, his first visit in nine years. "Tom" is widely known among the old timers and has made good down in his section. He cannot yet be classed among the millionaires, but six figures after a man's name with this $ in front of them looks good. His wealth is chiefly in mines. Mr. Bradshaw goes to England shortly on a pleasure and health trip. Extreme care should be taken that no fire originates anywhere while everything is drv as tinder and highly inflam mable. A half lit match, cigar'end, or the dregs of a pipe carelessly emptied might cause a disaster similar to that of Fernie. Princetonians will fraternize with Hedleyites on Labor Day and help to make the demonstration a record ofie in the history of Hedley. D. Cochrane, B.A., arrived from the coast on Monday, coming over Hope- mountains accompanied by his bike. (He had the ill luck to break his "steed"' making most of the journey on foot.) Mr. Cochrane is the school teacher en-s gaged by Trustee' Coulthard for the ensuing year and will begin duties at the next commencement term. His wife will arrive in September. Wanted—A Marconi Wireless Agency for Princeton. Public telephone is a thing of the past, thanks^ to good Liberal- authorities. Wireless, yes, -'that's the stuff ; beats a measly telephone service all to pieces. Apply to the Independent Party. Harry Harris, of Loomis, Wash., is- in town looking over his mining interests in this section. The C.P.R. station at Midway was- burned last week. Sunday religious services in court house- at 7:30 p.m., by Rev. Mr. Conn, PROGRESSIVE PARTY. I Boost them along—the Progressive Party. The name sounds familiar and looks well in print. Cannot have too much progress in Princeton these hot, dull*days. Be a booster !• Don't knock any party or board even if it doesn't come up to our lofty ideals and high expectations. Welcome, Progressivists I There is a field for them and every loyal citizen. "Boost, don't knock." SOC ET TUUM. Magistrates at Keremeos are bent on making the "noble red man" a sober and respectable citizen if a heavy fine will do it. Recently f~ur siwashes were fined $50 each for drunkenness and the white man who supplied the booze cannot be located—the magistrates will, no doubt, gleefully "sit" on him when he comes out of the bush. Between soap, booze, heavy fines and civilization the Indians will soon be "all in." WHERE HEARTS BEAT HIGH. While the roads are a trifle dusty for continuous conversation in a covered carriage yet it is a pleasant thing to note how satisfied a couple looks and acts behind a spanking team doing the "grand circle" to Allison and back. Autos are not to be compared with a nice buggy turnout for romance, and what inspiration is there in the smell of gasoline ? Phew ! Many a match has been struck. and made behind a matched team of horses. THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR August 12 1908 ^ THE STAR. •* One Year, J. M.WRIGHT. SUBSCRIPTION RATE: Payable in Advance.

The appalling disaster which has befallen Fernie will call forth from fellow countrymen and from fellow beings the world over expressions of heartfelt sympathy. And, what is far more expressive of sympathy of the lip and effective in distress will be the generous contributions of help. No one who has not passed through a great conflagration can have even an approximate idea of the shock, the excitement, •and the pitiful wails of dear ones separated, it may be, for a short time op forever. Self preservation see'fns a "hopeless task when hemmed in by a wall of flame but the instinct of life will cause men and women to do heroic deeds and risk life for the sake' of others. In the great tumult mothers become crazed when separated from their children and mefT never fully recover the violent shock of great loss and imminent danger. Fernie affords many instances of heroic rescues ■and brave deeds. Some four or five thousand people are houseless and homeless resultant from the ■fire. Temporary relief is pouring in. from many places but it will be months before food and clothing will not be required for some rendered destitute. It is not necessary to appeal to citizens of Princeton in -a formal way for help of the sufferers, they have responded on similar occasions and that generous quality which makes brothers of all mankind in misfortune is still alive and active in them. Very kindly the Manager of the Bank of Commerce has proffered his services in the distribution of relief money left in his care by citizens and others. for the creme de la creme of securities. Taking the whole Similkameen a retrospect of ten years ought to convince the most chronic of pessimists that the district has advanced and increased in wealth beyond all conservative '^calculations. With big schemes of irrigation and land cultivation, the development of fruit and kindred resources Keremeos is destined to become a veritable Eden. There are problems to be solved there and difficulties to be overcome. Right in and under the wheels of progress is the moss- back clogging advancement. Until the Southern Okanagan Land Co. acquired Penticton and the rights of the mossback there was stagnation. See what a transformation has taken place since the S. O. L,. Co. has become proprietor.

Hedley, but a few years ago, was a mere hole-in-the-wall, a stopping place for the weary traveller. In the earlier stages of its existence men were infatuated with stories of the rich mineral deposits and everything was staked near and far. From being a boom gold camp it has developed into the most per- ui'ent of mining towns. The Yale Mining Co. and the Daly Reduc tion Co. are the two industrial factors ioining with the handiwork of 1 nature in the Nickel Plate mine, which have made Hedley far- famed.

Improvements in smelters and increased output of both metal and ore are rapidly bringing back the profitable business before the big slump in copper. In the Boundary and Kootenay mining districts there is a healthy condition in the older established mining and smelting concerns and restored confidence is manifest everywhere. All the miners in the country have employment. Financial conditions on both sides of the international line are bettering rapidly, though investment money is scarce, except general welfare of Camp Hedley. The railway will soon be built and as-smelters never precede the iron horse it is certain one- or more will immediately follow. With a progressive citizenship and the extension of present mining and milling operations Hedley is destined to be a prosperous mining town—in fact it could not retrogress if it wanted to. It is the nearest producing camp to Princeton, the interests and welfare of both being so interwoven as to promote friendship and a sentiment of generous and honorable competition regarding mineral merits of each.

The "Cost of Diamond Drilling in the Boundary District," is the title of an exhaustive examination of the results of diamond drilling carried on at the mines of the British Columbia Copper Co. between January, 1906 and August, 1907. The article is published in the Mining World, and is written by Frederic Kef- fer. In 1906 3.002 feet of drilling was done at an average cost per foot of $1.67, and in the seven months of 1907 the number of feet drilled was 3,667, and the average cost $1.72. The average cost for the entire period was $1.70^ per foot, and one caret on the average drilled 111.9 feet.
