THE MINING WORLD
First Carload of   Coal Direct
from Colliery — Deer
on Whipsaw.
Plans for Development Work on Friday Creek — Reco Steadily
Forging Ahead.
Billy Knight.catne in from Whipsaw
last Friday to attend the masquerade ball
in his role as musician. He reports work
on the Lucky Pair making good headway and expects to tap the lead soon
Deer are very plentiful, wandering about
iu large herds in the Whipsaw basin
Mr. Knight will remain in town a ftw
days on a well earned holiday, returning
to his camp for the winter.
The Granby Mining Smelting & Power
Co., has declared another dividend ot 2
per cent, and $270,000 will be disbursed
in this way.
Col. Stevenson is making good progress with the development work on his
mineral property opposite Holmes^forfT
He has about a dozen rn,en~at-"work and
hopes-to- be-shipping soon. The mine is
located ajong the V ,V. & E.
%.JS.. E. Emmons, M. E., of Vancouver,
was in town last week on placer mining
business. He thinks this district wonderful in mineral possibilities. Mr. Emmons will return here again soon and in
timates that he has clients who are prepared to build a ■ smelter if a site can
be procured near the proposed coke works
at Granite creek or Welldo.
Gunnysack Murphy, aged 47 years,
died in Cranbrook from pneumonia. At
one lime he owned a group of claims near
the Bayonne mine in Cootenay.
Screened coal is now sold by the Vermilion Forks Co. at the mine for $4. per
ton, which, with the livery charge of $1
per ton for delivery in town makes the
total cost $5. The /former price was $3
per ton for unscreened or 'run of mine.'
E. P. Galliac is now drifting for the
main coal seam on the United Empire.
•The new low grade road to the Princeton-
Hedley trunk road is about complete.
Work on the Reco, Copper mountain,
is progressing favorably and must soon
reach the main lead. Some very fine
ore has been obtained in the tunnel.
Mr. McCauley is deserving of the best
results fot his perseverance under most
perplexing conditions and circumstances.
The Reco is known to be of high values
and must prove a moneymaker when
once the lead is worked.
The Vermilion Forks Co. shipped their
rst carload  of coal from Princeton col-
iery last week, since ween there have
been steady shipments/made.   The in-
"ustry resulting fromrcoal found here
will make Princeton a great mining
center and famous for its splendid quality
of domestic fuel.
It is understood that freight rates on
coal to Spokane are $2.50 and to Keremeos $ 1.50, Hedley $1.15, other points
proportionately.
Petroleum is believed to have been
struck in the neighborhood of Suuias and
Abbotsford.
Plans are being made for 500 feet of
tunnel work on the Columbia Copper
Co's mining property on Friday creek
The.work is expected to begin in the
early spring and when completed will
put in sight a million tons of ore.
Roche river, Friday creek and Whip-
saw offer a large tonnage for any railroad
that will give them transportation.

A number of buildings are pro
tor the coming  monTraL ajj***

a hammer in the town. Bert Irwin has
finished two neat cottages recently for
the Vermilion Forks Co. and Wilson
Bros, will soon have the large liverv

ADVERTISING IS SPIRIT OF
THE AGE.
TheSjolidays are over and everyone has set sail .with, the prospect
of a fair and prosperous voyage on
the sea of life during 1910. With
the continuous shipping of coal by
fail, so recently begun, the nucleus
of a great mining camp has been
established. The all important
payroll is now ( a fact, small at first
it may be, yet giving evidence of
most probable expansion For, it
is beyond all question that the mineral surroundings of Princeton are
sufficient to sustain a large population. Without straining the optimistic faith born of experience and
years of calm calculating when the
tendency of the times was depressing, Star has neither hesitation nor
reservation in stating that no other
town has as bright futuiie£as Princeton. Nature has provided everything! that makes towns and cities.
Coafj dres^placers, agriculture, timber, unlimited water power and
superb, climate, the eternal snow
capped sierras of the Cascades, the
everlasting hills beautiful and rich,
big game, fishing and shooting, all
combine to make this place attrac**
ive for homeseekers and inviting to
investors. But, with all these itSf^}
ducements, itispossible to stultify
and retard growth by a lack of
pnblic-spiritedness and indifference
on the partof citizens. The wor'd
must be made aware of our own
■ confidence in the abundant latfftit
wealth of resbu'rce^and'^ sflmring
prospect. The universale recognized medium through:.Which a
peoole express their faith in the
present and future of their town
and district is the local newspaper.
By their support of it in paid advertising and subscriptions they tell
the world   that   they   hqvfiftfaith in
their town aridieS**8-■
'""TEMP"*
■trade,(business and superior advantages which by right are ours, to
idrifwotherwhere. No valid excuse,
therefore, can be offered for with-
■hofaing advertising patronage to
thefppme paper. Many thousands
of .djoilars have bee.n spent on the
upkeep of the Star since its birth,
without which Princeton and dis-
4ridE wou'd have remained an unknown, uninviting land. The publicly afforded through its columns
has been, and is, of direct benefit
Scffevery person in the town and
•qSfctiet. The consistent advertising of a few is sincerely appreciated
and while they have sown the whole
community, , including the non-
awgertiser, has reaped the benefit.
Same who. have_he£n_continuous
advertisers since the Star first emit-
te'd light now think that the burden of maintaining a local newspaper should be distributed more
generally. Nowhere in the world
ilitaere a newspaper run with as
little expense as the Star with its
payroll of one. It has never been
able to increase its staff or the num-*
ber ofSfts pages for want of more
.liberajftsupport.' As soon as the
peoplearespond to. {this call an enlarged staff and papte,, with better
'reading matter will result, along
with a well equipped jobpla$it. If,
however, there should be noiuter-
est manifested even its present precarious existence may terminate asvf
suddenly as that of our late lamented cotemporary at Keremeos.
But the future prospects of Prince-j
ton and district are so bright that
everyone interested in the country
will be glad to have the Star continue, even with all its imperfections, failures and errors of composition, judgment, and many other
of the frailties to whicafif poor humanity is heir. Star will be pleased
to receive a big bunch of new sub-
scribers';and settlement in full of
long overdue accounts for advertising, subscription's and printing. It
is the aim of the manager to have|
subscriptions fall due on the first
of each year, running with the.current volume of 52 numbers.
