PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, MAY J8, 1910. $2 a Year in Advanc* TULAMEEN PUTINg Big Flume on Granite Creek gave Poor Results and Legal Squabble. Found Platinum at Mouth of Eagle Creek on Tulameen River in Quantity. [Continned from last week-[ The washing was ari operation eith< r in a string of long sluice boxes or a rocker, by which means the platirfum was concentrated with the gold in tl e black sands. The earliest attempt at hydraulicing on Granite Creek was that undertaken by R. Stevenson and W. E. Hogg in 1891. A flume four miles in 1-ngth was installed on the wst bank of Grauite Creek and work started onclaitrs lying about three quarters of amileabo- e the mouth of the creek. The promoters of this company became iuvolved in litigation with the owners of ground below tuera, and were forced into liquidation. The court, acting as teceivers, secured, it is stated, from the sluice boxes about $900 principally gold. Mr. Hogg afterwards worked a small'pit four miles below the mouth of Granite Creek, and washed the gravels from an old high channel of the Tulameen river. This venture was continued far in the; season, but in the following spring the pit filled with wash from the mountain side and was never reopened. Packed a Saw Mill on Horses. In 1892 the Tulameen Improvement Co. began -operations on a~t>ench on tbe Tulameen river below the mouth of Eagle Creek. A sawmill was imported at a time when the only means of transport was pack horses, and placed at the mouth of Eagle Creek. A flume was *Duilt to convey water from the Creek, and hydraulicing operations were carried on for two seasons under the direction of Judge Murphy, The proportion oT~gold to platinum at this point was about one to tvya. and the recovery of platinum was high ; but the available ground was limited and the results obtained did not pay for the cost of plant and management. At the mouth of Slate_Creek hydraulic operations were conductedby Alexander Swaii—Qn, a high bench a,bove theTula- meen river, but the boulder clay met with was so compact and stiff that water had little effect upon it' and the undertaking was consequently not a success. fTo be continued.] FIRE WARDENS. Proper Precautions for Preventing Destructive Forest Fires. The provincial government evidently is fully alive to the necessity for the prevention of forest fires. A system of patrol has been instituted and the province divided into districts with fire wardens in iharge. Those officers are to be ever yigilant and upon the outbreak of fire will take every means to control it and discover the person responsible for the fire. Anyone finding fire in remote of s ttled parts should immediately report it to the nearest warden. By cooperating with the fire wardens settlers and other property owners, will not only protect themselves but prevent the destruction of valuable timber on private and public lands. J. O. Coulthard has been appointed fire warden for district No. 11 which begins at Princeton and includes the teiritory north, west aud south from that ptiit. W. T. Atherton is warden for the district easterly from Princeton. With these watchful wardens patrolling t e country damage by running fires will b reduced to a minimum and the incautious firelighter will have difncnlty in escaping the strong arm of the law. W. C. Gladwin, Vancouver, is chief fire WH-d«ii_J!pPTfre~Tm5yThce. TBe- pay of the fire wardens is $5 per day and ex- "psnses. BASEBALL, THE GAME.

The regular passenger trains have not yet been able to resume their former runs owing lo the bruises still heing unsafe between Hedley andKeremeos.

Passengers and mails are now transferred at the bridges and brought to Princeton by the work engine and caboose. More than two dozen cars~of freight are now lying at Keremeos for points west. For the present mails and passengers arrive at about 10 p.m. and depart at 5 a.m. THE WEEKLY GRIST Revolutionary Smelting Prr cess Invented by Dentist of Toronto.

Hail to the new King ! His Majesty King George V. became ruler of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and .Ireland and'of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, on May 7th. Iu his forty-fifth year, he has already had considerable experience in state affairs, and gives evidence of good, sound judgment in all that pertains to the great authority which he wields. While heir-apparent and Prince of Wales he visited Canada and made a very favorable impression' upon the people. In tbe present political crisis in England he will have opportunity to prove his capacity not only as king but also as statesman. If, like his father, or his illustrious grandmother, he is able to command' tbe confidence of his subjects, then, no matter what political tempests may arise, he will cope with them satisfactorily. However, there is ample room for the belief that he will rise to the occasion and prove a wise ruler with many of tbe'aff - ble traits of his father. Canadians will give to him the same loyal adherence that was given the late king and will wish bim long life and a happy and prosperous reign. God Save the King ! The following extract from the London Observer regarding King George is timely and gives a home estimate of hi;n. It says : 'He is better understood in other parts of the Empire than at horce, but his subjects in Great Britain will soon know his worth, his serious self, his patriotism, his pa?sion for the imperial ideal, the directness and candor of his nature, his sympathy and courage. Owing to his self- imposed quiet role, some believe him of reactionary mind, others as likely to set his own impression on affairs. Both are absurd errors. King George was indoctrined with the true meaning of empire during his early world tours. With all the fervor with his belief in Empire, His Majesty is not likely to forget that twentieth century kingship demands sociai service, and will be in a special sense the monarch of the masses.' The London Times says : 'King George V. will come to the throne with all the knowledge of public affairs and all the training which it is possible to impart to an heir apparent. We have lost a beloved and a great constitutional King, but he has left us a successor in whom we may confidently repose our trust.' Thus, it will be seen, our King begins his reign under very favorable auspices and with promise of success. NOTICE Yai,b Land District. District of Yale.

SCOPE : The copper industry of the world. COVERING : Copper history, geol- °*?y- geography, chemistry, mineralogy, mining, milling, leaching, smelting, refining, brands, grades, impurities, alloys, uses, substitutes, terminology, deposits by districts, states, countries and continents, mines in detail, statistics of production, consumption, imports, exports, finances, dividends, etc. The Copper Handbook is concededly the World's Standard Reference Book on Copper. The miner needs the book for the facts it gives him regarding geology, mining, copper deposits and copper mines. The metallurgist needs the book for the facts it gives him regarding copper milling, leaching, smelting and refining. The copper consumer needs the book for every chapter it contains. It tells what, and explains how and why. The investor in copper shares cannoi afford to be without it. The Copper Handbook givrs statistics and general information on one hand, with thousands of detailed n.'ine descriptions on the other, covering the copper mines of the entire world, and the 40 pages of condensed statistical tables alone are worth more than the price of the book to eacri and every owner of copper miuing shares. PRICE: $5 in buokram with gilt top, or $7.50 in full library morocco. TERMS : The most liberal. Send no money, but order the book sent you, all carriage charges prepaid, on one week's approval, to be returned if unsatisfactory, or paid for if it suits.
