Sam Spencer and wife moved to Hedlev last week, where the former is employed in the stamp mill of the Hedley Gold Mining Co. Jim Lacey was in town this week from Hedley renewing old acquaintanceship Wo:k is to be rushed on the big flume for the Hedley Gold Mining Co. The flume is three miles long, 7 x 8 in the clear, and will require a lot of lumber in construction. The dam is in course of construction and three working shifts-wili be employed.

Copper Co. B. Barlow has taken the position of fire boss at the United Empire coal mine. Big Profits in Mining There will be no extra dividend for the Consolidated shareholders, although the profits for the last fiscal year were practically a million dollars, or 18 per cent, on the shares issued. At the meeting held in Toronto on Tuesday morning, there was a strong inclination on the pert of some to place stock ou a permanent 10 per cent, basis, but the directors prefer to adhere, for the present, to the more conservative policy of the past, and the usual 8 per cent, dividend payable quarterly, will continue. President Matthews read the annual report, showing the splendid financial results which he emphasized with the reminder thsjt it was only five years ago that a bank overdraft of a million and a half existed. After allowing $150,000 in round figures for development, and wiping off $200,000 approximately for depreciation, the profit of the Consolidated company for the past year was equivalent to nearly 18 per cent upon the shares issued-, which are-$5,800,000. Similkameen Mineralogy [Continued from last week.] 'In 1905 thei British Columbia Copper Company took options on ten or twelve claims around f H 3 the Snn?et, and work was carried on for about eleven months. A diamond drill wasbroughtin and much deep drilling done, but the results were not made known to the public' "Hvdraulic mtniug.—In 1893 some prospecting ane surveying was done on the i-ast side of the Similkameen river, above Princeton, by parties associated with W. C. McDougall, with a view to working some of the benches stretching back from the river by hydraulic methods. Gold was found'in all the test pits, but the bed rock was not sufficiently high above the level of ihe stream to afford a good dump. This, with the fact that a ditch, seven miles in length, to carry water from the Similkameen river on to the ground, would only give a head of 116 feet, forced the promoters to abandon their project.' 'In 1895 the Anglo-American Company was formed y Capt. S. T. Scott, with the object of working some ground situated 011 the west-side of Ihe Similkameen river, just above the mouth of Whipsaw creek. A ditch two miles in length brought water from Whipsaw creek, and under a head of 320 feet this was supplied to two No. 5 Monitors at the foot of the bench Sluicing was carried on for a period of eight days, when it was found that the bedrock here also was too low to afford a dump for the tailings, and they were constantly blocking the channel and forcing the water back over the flat. The expense of keeping the sluice boxes free from the tailings, and the fact that bedrock was not reached in the pit, caused the company to abandon the work and go into liquidation.' 'The most successful attempt at hydraulicing was that undertaken by W. J. Waterman in 1895 on some ground about three miles south of Princeton. This ground had formerly yielded from $5.00 to $10.00 to the hand, and had been worked both by whites and Chinese. Water was obtained from a spring and Continued on page 5. TOWN AND DISTRICT Arthur Hickling, managing director of the Princeton Coal & Land Co., left on Monday for Rossland en route to London, England, where he hopes to arrive the latter end of Jauuary.

Princeton board of trade has been actively guarding the interests ofthe district in endeavoring to get improved railway service and last month tried to obtain remedy for the damage to business, interests by the smallpox scare. On Tuesday last two deputations, G. P. Jones and C. P. Dalton from Hedley, and J. A. Brown and H. Tweddle from Keremeos, repressing the boards of trade at each of these places, came here and met Messrs. Andras, Chapman, Huston and Moeran, a committee of the Princeton board. Resolutions were wired, together with a petition, to the railway commission at Ottawa and to Martin Burrell, M.P., and L. W. Shatford, M P.P., regarding the cancellation of three trains a week on the V. V. & E. Inspector Greenfield ofthe P. O. department and Messrs. Kenny, Costello and Doyle, officials of the Great Northern, were notified of the action of the joint boards and resolutions sent. A copy of the petition will be published next week.

IDuring all these years *i\ has en- 1 .deavOred to chronicle correctly all v*ae important events and truthfully /et forth the natural inducements for the investor and homeseeker. Its one aim has been to build up the town and district on their merits. In its own humble way it has striven for the rights of the people generally and advocated progress and reforms. Having done these things to the best of its poor ability Star asks for continued support of its subscribers and advertisers. In this age no town making any pretensions of progress can afford to be without a newspaper and without a healthy patronage of subadifibers and advertisers, its two chief sources of revenue, it caunot live. By strict economy and hard work Star -has weathered years of depression and disjM»point- ment. In that time two of its neighbors have passed on to the journalistic boneyard while it remains twinkling, dimly it may be at times, yet always able to stand 1 off the sheriff and proverbial wolf, ^^-"Cossidijfc'ing the limited field, sparse opulation and delayed railway iirogress Star has much to be thank- £ful for. The loyal support of advertisers has made the paper possi- lile, without another journalistic epitaph would have been written long ere this. With increased patronage and expanding population the paper will be found to keep well in advance of all requirements as in the past. No other town of like size in Canada supports a newspaper, worthy of the name, having over four hundred inches of space. Many commendatory letters have been received during all these years and not a word of complaint, which is something to feel encouraged over. The foregoing is not written in an egotistic vein but for the ^yrposeof inducing those who are ot subscribers or advertisers to ecome patrons and assure them Aey are getting their money's worth. The coming year, 1914, looks brighter than any of the fourteen nearly ended. Mining, which is the backbone of the district, is now on an assured basis. The elimination of doubt aud uncertainty as to mining makes the prospect peculiarly encouraging. To all a very happy and prosperous new year. Shine on, O Star of Similkameen ! NOTES AND COMMENTS It is time that some binding restrictions aud limitations were put upon those railway companies asking for further extension of time in which to build their proposed road. It is one of the farcical procedures of the Dominion railway committee to make 'cast iron' stipulations for the companies and then at the end of the term stated for building to undo all they had previously legislated on. Railway companies 'come back' regularly for favors from the railway committee and they invariably get them. The people of the Simlikameen have been waiting for twenty years for direct)railway connection with the coast.. They have been promised, fooled and cajoled until they are heartily sick of the whole business. Another, and another extension of time has been asked for completion of lines that could be built in a small fraction of the time applied for. Endless extensions of time, ruinous delay, progress held up, discontented people, business stagnant, hopes deferred, all the result of insensate procrastination. Is there no remedy ? The people through their representatives, grant bonuses and give concessions receiving in return disappointment and broken agreements from the railway companies. The people are up against it hard enough fighting the physical difficulties which all new countries present and it is too much to bear the needless obstacles which the railways put in the path of progress. Owing to the picayune policy ofthe Kettle Valley company Princeton coal is shut out of the Okanagan district where thousands of tons should have been shipped this winter if railway construction had been carried on with any business push. The Great Northern is even a greater stumbling block to progress by its penny- wise, pound foolish policy, in reducing its daily train to three a week and making everybody lay over at night at Oroville. If the railway companies want tonnage they must help to develop the country not retard its growth by a miserable. cheeseparing, skinny policy. Railway" companies, like individuals, cannot hope to make profits always in a new country just at the initial stages of development. To whine at trifling expenses and be niggardly and mean for the purpose of saving a few dollars at the cost ol public spirited persons betrays a small, penurious soul. A critical time has been reached in the history of the Similkameen. For railroad companies or individuals to cheesepare, halt and delay now is to turn back the hands on the clock of progress. No retrograde policy now. 'Onward/ is the word. <W<NM»^VWW¥MW^W^WMW^W^>^»NW> MMMVMMMVM¥WWVMM«NMMVWMW EAST PRINCETON B. C. Portland Cement Co. Ltd. United Empire Mining Co.

A self-acting gate to the reservoir was built with the intention of using the' water as a bucking hydraulic. The w^ter was stored at night behind an old beaver dam above the reservoir, and during the day was al lowed to run into the reservoir which it filled two or three times an hour. The gate acted automatically and let out a a head of about 2,000 miners inches for seven or eight minutes. When the reservoir was empty the gate closed, and the boulders, etc., in the pit were cleared up and the ground got ready for the next run. In November, 1895. a partial clean up gave results of from twenty-five to thirty- five cents per cubic yard of ground moved and paid expenses. The next year the property was sold to the Vermillion Forks Mining and development Co., now the Princeton Coal and Land Co. More water was brought from Stevenson creek and a small monitor installed under, a hundred foot head. Two runs were made in 1898 and the results obtained gave ten to fifteen cents per cubic yard of ground moved. The amount water was not sufficient to move the heavy wash, and trial surveys were run to bring more water from Nine-mile creek. The amount of workable ground, however, was not large enough to warrant the expense of such a ditch and the work was dropped.' 'The river bars at the tn'outh'of Friday creek fifteen miles above Princton were at one time found to be very 'rich. Here a trial pit was opened up. A ditch one- half mile in lengths\vas dug and a short pipe line with a monitor installed. Work was carried on for a part of one season and in the next spring when operations were about to be commenced it was found that the whole ditch system had been washed away into the stream. The claims were then abandoned and-have lain idle ever since.' 'On the Tulameen river the earliest at tempt at dypraulicing was made by a group of Vancouver men who built a flume and ditch from Eagle creek with the intention of recovering the platinum from a bench a short distance below this point. The bench was small and was soon washed out, with what results was not ascertained.' 'On Granite creek, from which probably more placer go^d was'recovered than'any other part of the Similkameen district, some bench claims were opened no by Capt. Scott, Robert Stevenson, W. E. Hogg and others. A flume four miles in length was laid and work began on the Swan claim and at its upper end.' The gold here is very coarse and probably much was recovered, but.the company shortly after went into; liquidation aud the court is said to have cleaned up about $900.00 from the sluice boxes. Mr. Hogg afterwards worked a small pit four miles below the mouth of Granite creek and washed out the gravel from an old high channel ofthe Tulameen river. It is be lieved to have paid for the season, but the pit was filled up with wash from the mountain side the next spring, and never reopened.' 'Prilling.—Boring operations for lignite began in 19OT, and have been prosecuted by several parties interested in the development of the Princeton coal basin. The Vermillion Forks Mining and Develop ment Company is the largest .holder of coal claims and it has sunk six bore holes to test its properties. Two others have been sunk by Blakemore and one by Sharp ; and with the exception of Sharp's bore hole all have been sunk in the valley of the Sonth Similkameen river between Princeton and Ashnola.' |pS»S [To be continued.] FESTIVE Approaches once more no doubt you are looking for The f f.\J*\/Mj^^ empties into \J'VJ/,iverted ^"* ^—^ will h two hy- will beusaf*? 1 on V' I D.v WE CARRY A LINE OF SUCH *&* &r* tt*^*\\\tT* THOMAS BROS, Mifn and Healing, sheet w. work, Tinsmiifiing Shop comer Angela Av. and Bridge St., in • Murdochs blacksmith shop' V/M.T.

IN-COW-MAS-KET From Page 1. Reft the solid rock in twain,—then The deep lake pent in the mountains,. Down—downward dashed to join the stream, Tore its way on through the valley And formed the great Similk-ameen. Madly dashing, like a wild horse, That hath broke its curbing rein, it Rushes swiftly, tearing downward, Swells Columbia, joins the main. How one time upon the mountain, Where he had gone to hunt the deer, He had lost his band of horses, Amidst the mountain's summer snow. For thongh warm and bright the weather Without a warning rose a storm. Suddenly across the mountains There swept a gust of freezing wind, Driving lead-grey clouds before it; Then suddenly the snow came down Burying the men and horses ; Vainly did he try to save them. He tried himself to break a road. With his snow-shoes went before them, Sinking—still sinking deeply down ; Ever wallowing before them, Weaken'd, starving, stumbling after, On came his poor dejected band, Ever getting weaker, fewer— Until at last but one remained ; He, a sturdy dark gray stallion. The grandsire sang of Chippaco : ' Once upon the Mount Chippaco Jags There liveda monster grim and dread, Auful as that dreadful mountain When thunder clouds enveil its head. Awful was his devilish laughter And fierce and scorniul was his ire, When he found men on his mountain Where he hides 'midst clouds and fire. Women had he taken captive And kept them on that mountain lone ; Men he mocked with fiendish laughter Who sought to take the women home.' Sem-min-at-coe smiling listened To all the wondrous tales he told. In the lodge of In-cow mas-ket Lived his young wife little Chin-chin. ' She was famous for her beauty, For her.lithe and slender figure, And for her large and lustrous eyes. In cow-mas-ket gave her father Many norses, mauy kine, all For this beauteous dark-eyed maiden ; But she loved not In-cow-mas-ket, She cherished not his old grandsire, Thought of nothing but her beauty, Cared for nothing but her pleasure. Mounted on her fiery broncho See, see her dashing o'er the hills, Driving in her herds of cattle, And laughing—jesting with the boys. Snatching at a long 'reata, She swings it lightly o'er her head ; Lassoes, catches, overthrows one, Laughing she gives her horse his head ; Shouts as on he swiftly gallops, She makes him yet more madly run ; What cares she for Sem-minat-coe, Now toiling, working hard at home'? What cares she if Sem-min-at-coe Does the work she has left undone ? Sem-min-at-coe tans the buckskins, Gets the wood and gets the water, Continued on page 7. H. B.
