Bight Man, Bight Place. Mr_.Camsell, the QoamTfon geologist, first to make this discovery of diamonds, has verbally tfiSCribedthgVTulameen section of surpassing interest to him and the geological department is fortunate in having one so competent and painstaking to examine this section. It is hoped the minister of mines will continue to assign Mr. Camsell to this section until a complete structural survey is made, giving full details for the guidance _»f prospectors and investors. Earth's Treasure Vaults. Olivine mountain is about 26 miles from Princeton, via road to Tulameen and trail to the diamond field. It has long been the Mecca of prospectors owing to the highly mineralized formation and exceptional characteristics but it is only in recent summers that scientific investigation has begun to unlock the treasure nature has snugly stored away and which runs all the way from shaggy asbestos to the most.'.popular of all gems—the diamond It is color, size and transparency that determines the value of diamonds. They are very useful in rock drilling machines, for cutting glass and diamond dust is valuable to jewellers. There are a billion dollars invested in diamonds. All May Wear Diamonds. The telegraphic announcement in the daily newspapers that diamonds had been discovered on Olivine mountain caused some excitement in Princeton and saddles and snowshoes were looked _5T**No do_bt^-l_rge_r___ber 61 prospectftWwift hours This is not correct ; for a i-inch fire nozzle, with the pressure we have here in Princeton requires 200 gallons per minute, or 12,000 gallons per hour. Therefore, one nozzle in 5 hours- would require 60,000 gallons (which is the capacity of the tanks). The duration of this supply can be greatly lengthened by pumping and arrangements are made whereby, at tbe shortest possible notice, a further supply of 200 gallons per ./minute can be pumped into jtfre tanks. This, I consider, gives the town at present a reasonable supply of water for fire purposes. With the growth of the town and with the hearty cooperation and support of its inhabitants the Princeton Waterworks Co. will be found ever ready to enlarge and extend their systems to §j?e8t their requirements.

GOLD AND PLATINUM Dredge will be (Built Here to Save Precious Metals from Gravels. S |P I / Ground Tested by Drill Proves Satisfactory and Great Industry May Besult. The Platinuni-Gold Fields, Limited, of Vancouver, which has some 20 miles of the Similkameen and Tulame_en rivers on lease from l_'6"~gbvernme_t, after a very thorohgh test, of the auriferous ground at tbe forks of the rivers here and in the vicinity have ceased drilling and the mav chine is being stored until required after high water. Ground is Good for Dredging. About forty drill holes were sunk resulting in such sat_Sf_ctorv returns that will warrant the construction of c dredge for the purpose ofjrecovering the platinum now known to be in the bars and alluvial deposits generally within the lease areas of the rivers. While there is a dearth of detailed information for pub lication enough is known to verify the statement that values are satisfactory for dredging purposes. The drill affords absolutely reliable data from which to base- average values and »hus reduce placer mining by machinery to a science even more accurate than by the primitive hand process. QJ_ The drill has demonstrated that bedrock is deeper- than supposed, probably "YfrPC'"g tW-lV f-fin ffound the* forks. In any case the pay-dirt with scientific treatment in a modern dredge.will be found to be more extensive than suspected by oldtime placermen who had not the appliances for testing at depth. Industry Large and Lasting. *A beginning has now been made in what is not unlikely to become a great industry. In other countries, p&rticu^ larly New Zealand and California, vast capital is invested in gold dredging, hundreds of machines costing from $30,000 to $100,000 being operated in this permanent and profitable industry. The area of dredgable ground in Princeton district can only be, even approximately, es timated, but lying within the river banks there are several hundred acres. If the bottoms and benches are included many, times more acres will be added, in all an area large enough for the founding of a practically permanent industry. There is also Granite creek and a number of other auriferous streams which could be worked. Platinum High Priced. .In the early placer days the rivers and creeks were skimmed over in the rnsh for big pay. Platinum, or 'white gold,' was then a drug it haying been bought as low. as 50c. ind $2 per oz. Miners wasted it in their quest for the more valuable goictN,Now,\ however,platinum is *worth $38 per MKand there is no doubt it will be the cmef value obtained by •dredging on the uppej; Tulameen and its tributaries. Platinum in place has not been found in commercial quantities as yet but the Dominion geologist is each summer trying to solve its hidden location, believed to be in the vicinity of Champion, Slate, Eagle and Kelly creeks.

It is expected that a dredge will be completed before the end of the year and upon its success will depend the construction of several others. A True Prophet. Princeton and district afford almost every variety of mining, which proves the prediction made by that eminent geologist,. Dr. Dawson, many years ago : That unless all indications went astray there would be found rich and extensive min- e_r_l, _Blfo1_r_un^-Is^cno_'. Every year new' light is thrown upon the hitherto dark recesses of nature in Princeton district. Exploration and resultant discovery will open the way for development and the establishment of vast metal pro ducing industries. In the great evolv/2 tion now at hand Princeton must play an important part if the spirit of progress be not strangled with apathy and sloth.
