PER YEAR : $2 Cash, Single Copy 5c. Three strong banks: Normal growth * Princeton MINERAL CLAIMS ARE BONDED FOR BIG B AMOUNT Ii.' MINES AND MINERALS. Provision is to be made for an exhibit of British Columbia ores in the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco. D. E. Moore, of Salt Lake, Utah, W. S. Ayres, of Hazelton, Pa., W. E. A. "Wheeler, of New York City, all prominent mining men, were here last week in connection with the mining properties owned by E. P. Wheeler at Friday creek, also at Voigt camp and Kennedy mountain. Mr. Moore secured a lot of data regarding the resources of Princeton and Tulameen districts. He was especially interest* ed in the coking qualities of the coal at Coalmont and took samples for analyses. He expects to return here shortly. E. G. Marston and M. L. Whitehouse of Spokane, arrived Saturday last. They are here in connection with the United Empire coal mine, which, it is understood will be brought to the shipping stage and supply of the cement works. McRae Bros, have bonded their mineral claims on Kennedy mountain and Voigt camp to Utah and Pennsylvania people, the consideration being reported at $250,000, with $1000 down. The McRaes have been among the earliest to locate in this district and after years of patient waiting they are about to make a deal which means a great deal toward the development of their properties. There are some eighteen claims included in the transaction. C. M. Snowden and A. E. McCoun, returned to town last week after a summer of hard work at the Roany placer camp, six miles up the Tulameen from .Princeton. They have followed the original course of the Granite creek and prospected the ground at various depths. As -a most encouraging reward for their labor Mr. Snowden shows small nuggets of gold as well as coarse grains of platinum and gold. In the early sixties and later this ground was surface mined by gold hunters who could not mine at depth for lack of water. It is now a hydraulic proposition and capital is required to install necessary ditches and fluming. Some day, not only the Roany, but other bar and bench diggings will be worked where excellent pannings may now be obtained. The placer drill operated by W. T. Towers and his crew is now at work in the vicinity of Goalmont and is coming, down the river toward the gold platinum deposits on "Welldo. Robert Stevenson, the largest individual mineral claim owner in Leadville camp, has just completed an agreement of sale with Patsy Clark for the transfer of Summit No. 1, Camegie, Queen, No. 6 and the Lncky Seven. The deal is registered in the name of the Leadville Mining Company. T-he amount of money involved is not yet stated for publication. The claims are well known silver-lead producing and run high in assays. At Coalmont the force of men at the tramway construction is being increased and there is activity all around. The Inland Coal & Coke Company, operating at Merritt, is producing 600 tons of coal a day. The C P. R. takes the whole product at about $2.75 per ton. The company is making profits of over $15,000 a month, and is controlled by Vancouver investors. A. Hickling, director of the Prtnceton Coal & Land Co., is expected to arrive shortly. J. D. Galloway, assistant to the provincial mineralogist, is here in connection with his department and is also making a collection of minerals for the museum at Victoria. He made examinations of Summit Camp and the limestone formation at the cement works. The name 'Leadville' is not recognized by the department of mines, 'Summit Camp' being the official name Claud Snowden is preparing to take in supplies to his crew employed on the old Granite placers. R. 0. Lambert had not reached bedrock on Granite creek at last reports of his placer operations. As an old time- and successful placer man in Atlin and the Yukon he will undoubtedly reach the paystreak on Granite. Mr. and Mrs. Jas. McEvoy, of Toronto, arrived Wednesdac Mr. McEvoy was here some fiye or six years ago in his capacity as coal mining consulting engineer. He has gone to Coalmont ahd will be engaged there professionally for a few days. Chas. Camsell, Dominion geologist, arrived in town Wednesday and with his assistant is taking notes of the country generally. He went to Tulameen yester. day. TOWN AND DISTRICT O. B. N. Wilkie> P.- L. S., is running the dividing line,.'between Yale and Kamloops land divisions, starting from near Lytton and ending at Princeton. This line will be used as a sort of base line and affords an accurate starting point for surveyors and those who locate land. Later the line may be run defining the boundary between Kamloops and Similkameen land divisions. Mr. Wilkie has a party of about ten skilled men and has been some years on government work. Married—On the 26th ult., at .Oroville Benj imin R. Barlow to Mrs. L. M. Bills. Dark nights add further weight to the necessity for electric lighting of the town. The company which starts a lighting plant here is bound to meet with success and a wide patronage. The hocky season is approaching. Is Princeton to have a team?" H. A. Turner, road superintendent, and E. P. Girdwood, district engineer, were in town this week inspecting the bridge construction and other work. E. Boeing is making good progress with the erection and framing of the span but a large amount of filling and preliminary work must be done before the solid cement abutments and superstructure is in place. K.V. RAILWAY TO BE FINISHED IN TWO ' YEARS' '%:'■■■ RAILWAY POINTS. It may surprise even some quite frequent visitors to learn that Hope has now 36 places of business. Sir Thos. Shaughnessy has definitely stated that the Kettle Valley railway-will be- in operation iu 1915 and it will be used as a main line being shorter than the old one. Engineer Burns has been running lines in and around Princeton for the K. V. railway during the past week. Nothing is known of the plans of this company; thev are as mysterious as the Sphinx of Egypt. MacArthur Brothers Company is steadily increasing its "working 'force and extending eastward. The grading camps now reach about nine miles from Hope and the clearing camps several miles further. Hospital buildings are being erected about four miles from Hope on the section of Bright and McDonald's subcontract. A cold storage building has been put up by P. Burns and Company besides MacArthur Brothers' warehouses in Hope.—Hope News. Messrs. Schacht Bros., contractors who have been awarded the contract for grading three miles bf the Kettle Valley Railway right-of-way between Scott's lot on the eastern bench and the round-house, have commenced operations and about seventy-five men are being employed with twelve teams in levelling the grade preparatory to ballasting and track laying. Owing to some litigation between the railway company and property owners, the construction of this line has not been proceeded with. Now, however, the company can take expropriation proceedings and have possession of the land providing they deposit a sufficient amount with the registrar to cover the cost of the land appropriated. The claim of the property owners will be decided by arbitration. A feature of the construction work on the new piece o'fjjfgrade is an automatic digger which digs up the dirt and loads wagons at the same time. This machine is equal to the work accomplished by a crew of fifty men. The Trout Creek bridge which is the highest trestle bridge in British Columbia has been practically completed and rails will be laid. Trains will then cross the bridge which will link up the north and south sections of the line between Osprey lake and •Penticton. Work is proceeding rapidly at the round-house, and matters in regard to railway construction are active generally.—Penticton Herald. ness interests while here. He was accompanied by Fred Buscombe, one of the pioneer business men of Vancouver, who has made exceedingly good ont of the skyscraping prices of real estate- Mr Buscombe sees a great future for Princeton and his first impressions are certainly very favorable. Under the name and style of Buscombe's Securities L'd, Trust and Loan, Mr. Buscombe invests heavily in all parts of the Province, and is considered the financial 'strong: man'of Vancouver. The party returned yesterday. SEEKING NEW PASTURES C. F. Hayes, of Edmonton, Alberta, is a visitor to Princeton for the first time, coming via the delayed route at Oroville, and having to layover Sunday in that hustling town. Mr. Hayes- is secretary of the Alberta. Press Association, knows the printing and publishing business from A to Z and is one of the livest and uptodatest journalists in the west. As city and sporting editor on some of the metropolitan dalies he has acquired an educative experience that enables him to supply grey matter with facility and as demanded. He was recently business manager of the Edmonton Bulletin and is now looking for -a newspaper field in which to locate. It is 'possible that he may bring his family to Princeton and. become proprietor of the Star. He realizes the immense change coming from a highly, progressive city of 70,000 population and starting on or near the ground floor in a frontier town. Mr. Hayes would be a decided acquisition to the town and would infuse new life and ability where now the weight of some four score years is beginning to tell on the pen and mechanical skill. The country, the town and the people appeal to Mr. Hayes and he is impressed with its vast opportunities. If he meets with sufficient encouragement he will put in a first class outfit and have paid correspondents at Tulameen and other points. Mr. Hayes is a memebr of fraternal societies, the Edmonton board of trade and comes from that county whose sons and daughters are prominent in the business, social, political and professional life of a continent—York county, Ontario.

SETTLERS FOR UNOCCUPIED LANDS. A question ever to be borne in mind in connection with the creation and growth of Princeton as a center of trade and travel is the large acreage of idle tillable ground in the vicinity of the town and immediate outlying districts. One company holds eighteen thousand acres of coal land with snrface rights which are locked and barred to public use and cultivation. Said company has never lived up to the agreement governing coal land in that it has never produced a pound of coal for market and its prospecting and development of the property has been most trivial and inexpensive. This land, as well as other well situated ground, is capable of •sustaining a large number of settlers who would be glad to make homes there and bring the now non-productive soil into use. A blind man could readily see that injustice and deprivation of right is being done Princeton and eager homeseekers in with-holding these coal lands from settlement. Some years ago an agitation to release public lands from monopolists was made but the government then, as now, showed a lenient disposition toward the holders of large tracts of land. But the government is probably less blameworthy in the matter than the people. Utterly apathetic and indifferent to their own interests, the people failed to come back, when they should have continuously rapped at the door of the legislature until their grievance had been heard and remedied. Is it too late or too much of a task to rouse pnblic opinion on the question of the land for the settler ? Is there a spark of agitation left in the people, the board of trade or the political organizations? Backed by public sentiment the government would assuredly act in behalf of the thousands as opposed to the monopolizing, grabbing company which does nothing to develop the country. If Princeton or any other town similarly situated is "to make progress if roust be rid of the land NOTES AND COMMENTS. Since the shooting season opened gun accidents are as common as many less serious events of life and everyday the newspapers chronicle the loss of life a«d limb. Downright carelessness and ignorance are the cause of these accidents, for it is rare that mishaps are caused by defective firearms. Sojong as boys and men handle a gun as if it were a piece of harmless steel, so long will there be the amputated limb and perhaps the funeral cortege. To prevent in some mearure, at least, the waste of life and maiming no one should be allowed to carry a gun who has not passed a creditable examination before a justice of the peace or a constable. How many there are who flagrantly violate every rule of common sense by pointing a gun at some one or grabbing it by the muzzle. In the presence of big game some hunters shoot wild owing to fear and fever. .Those who cannot control themselves should never carry a firearm of any kindi In towns and their vicinity firing of guns should be prohibited altogether. Anything that tends toward a warlike spirit is injurious to the young men of the country and leads to that military oppression and domination such as is observed in the semi-barbaric countries of Bur- ope. The country freed- from the burden of militarism is the one to to take the lead in civilization and wealth besides hastening the dawn of universal peace. It is to be hoped that both the Liberal and Conservative parties in Canada will abandon their rival schemes of quasi military government and huge armaments. One has only to look at the barbarians of Europe in their fury eating each other while the gun, powder and ship makers grow fat, to forever denounce the game of war, as one of the most silly and destructive of all follies. 'Peace and plenty' is the maxim of the wise. A great deal of space in the newspapers has been given to the pronouncements of some very learned physicists recently met in Britain regarding life after death. One excessively learned man states that the origin of life will be found in the molecule. He is an 'out and out' materialist and probably like many more of his brother scientists is agnostic. Scientific Christianity has demonstrated that God is the source of all life : how then can life originate in flesh or matter ? Spirit, God, is at war with matter or error. Spirit is life, truth, love. Matter is spirit's counterfeit, opposed to truth, a lie. ^WWW^WWWWW^WWWWWWWA^WWWWWWWWWWWIWWWI- EAST PRINCETON B. C. Portland Cement Co. Ltd. United Empire Mining Co.

After a careful study of the motor 'buses and cars of Paris and London, the Edinburgh City Council has been advised by its own Commission to adopt self-propelling street cars in preference to a system either of overhead or of conduit street car service. The Commission reports in favor of gasoline-electric cars, on the ground that the first high cost of these is more than counterbalanced by the great cost of installing an overhead or underground trolly system. According to the statistics ~of the Interstate Commerce Commission for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1912, there are 240,238 miles of track operated in the United States. The average number of locomotives per 1,000 miles of line was 265, and the average number of cars was 9,860. The total number of persons on the payrolls was 1,699,218, and the total wages and salaries paid amounted to $1,- 243,113,172. The par value of the amount of railway capital outstanding was over nineteen and one-half billion dollars. The total number of passengers carried last year by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company on the New York Subway and Elevated roads was 634,316,516, an increase over the previous year of over 27,000,000. The greater part of this increase was on the Subway, and it was due, principally, to the ten-car express service. The gross revenue for the year ending June 30th last was some thirty-two and one-half million dollars, an increase over the previous year of over one and j one quarter million dollars. Plans are proceeding rapidly for the Anglo-American Exhibition which will be held at the 'White City,' Shepherd's Bush, London, from May until October, 1914, to demonstrate what the progress of the world owes to Anglo- American invention and industry. A large organization is now at work on both sides of the Atlantic. K. C. BROWN Barrister and Solicitor Notary Public, Etc. PRINCETON, - B.C.

Love, Eleventh United States Cavalry, who was killed when his aeroplane plunged 300 feet to the ground at the army aviation school, near San Diego, Cal. Just before the accident he began to descend from an altitude of approximately 2,000 feet. When 300 feet from the ground, watchers say they saw a puff of smoke on the machine and it dropped like a shot. Eleven aviators have been killed in the United States army and navy service since experiments were started with heavier than air machines in 1908—ten in the army and one iu the navy. In aviation the world over, 333 persons have been killed since 1908, 112 during the present year.
