« Diamonds, platinum and gold in Princeton district. The emptiest life is that which knows not God. Princeton district belongs to that best and last west which is attracting; the attention of the world—Unlimited mineral resources, ideal climate and home of big game, fish and fowl—Best route to Steamboat mining camp; prospector's paradise—Cement works building. Vol. XII. No. 21. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, MAY .7, J9.J. $2 a Year in Advance 'm WEALTH OF MINERAL Geologist Describes Resources of DistrictMid Xi__ces . i .Contain Rich Platinum and Gold Deposits—Silver and Lead Ores. From tbe Journal of the_0!iy______ia___t_. - ing Instituterthe- subioined extracts have been made from data compiled bv Chas. Camsell, Dominion geologist, of the iuin- ' etal resources of this district and published by the permission of the Director of the Geological Survey of Canada : Previous Platinum Product. -*■ Gold is the principal valuable metal of the placers', but in a few localities some n .tix___copj_er and.silver have been found The Tulameen _istrr__r*_ftrwever, conjguis placers which hold much platinum in association with the gold. The resources are not yet exhausted. The platinum output of the Tulameen district to date has been variously estimated at from 11,ooo to 20,000' ounces. Within recent years there has been a gradual decrease in yield; but a revival of activitj^may be expected cs a result of improved com munication. facilities_ following railway [building. The productive area covers | abont. 18 miles of the Tulameen river between . Champion Creek and Qrjgjtf Creek, and includes most of the tributaries of the Tulameen between these two points Free milling gold ores have been found and to some extent, have been worked at Granite Creek in the Tulameen district, at Fairview, near Osoyoos Lake, at Roche river and at the Golden Zone camp, near the head of Twentyrnile Creek. Eich Veins of Gold. On the eastern side of Granite Creek and on the divide, between this and Nire UMile Creek, some.very rich veins of gold jlbearing quartz cut the green schists of the Nicola series. The>:veins are, how ever, narrow and the gold is not evenly distributed. Veins *jpf this character are partly at least the source of the rich placers of^C_Panjt^G_ee_y^* "Near the mouth of Roche river, a branch of the Similkameen, south of Princeton, a few small gold bearing quartz veins cut chlorite and hornblende schists. These veins are only a few inches wide, and carry pyrite, chalcopy- rite and tetrahedrite as the ore minerals. Gold tullerides are also stated to be fjund in these veins. The region is at present accessible only by pack trail, but in spite of chis a small shipment of ore was made a few years ago, and is stated to have given excellent returns in golJ. jjj. Silver and Lead Ore. Although there are a number of localities in this district in which rich silver ores and lower grade silver-lead ores! have beerj found, they- have not been exploited. The most important of these localities are Summit Camp on the head waters of the Tulameen River; Silver Creek, near Hope; Skagit River and Stump Lake. The deposits, however, have not been developed on account of the present lack of -Transportation facilities. Native silver has also been.found at several points in the district. A discovery of silver bearing galena is reported to have been, made recently on Whipsaw Creek about 25 miles from Princeton. Some importance is attachtd to the discovery; but no technical, examination df it has yet been made. Copper ores are the most abundant and '(Widespread of all the meta lie ores in tl.e '.district. Their geological distribution fcovers virtually every known formation of rocks. -At Copper Mountain ores are found occurring,pn the contact of monzonite with limestones. The ores appear in the limestone as ill defined bodies near the contact of the monzonite, or else in fissures traversing both the limestone and the monzonite. __£.

Everyone in any manner connected with the concert given under the aegis of the Ladies' Hospiial Auxiliary last Fri day night has reason to be gratified ore the success achieved both from a financia and an entertainment viewpoint. Th gross receipts were $61 aud the net amount for hospital aid $57.25. The Auxiliary has again proven its great usefulness and influence for good in the philanthropic work in which it is so nobly engaged. ' Of the concert it may be said, without fear of reasonable contradiction, that it was the best yet heard in Princeton. The avoidance of tbe classic in music ; the spontaneous and sometimes exuberant applause, the cause and the low prices, 50c, 25c, all combined to make the entertainment delightful from the first to the last number. , Where all did so well and encores so profuse yet merited it would be invidious to criticize or compare. If Star may be permitted to specialize somewhat mention may be made of Miss Lumsden who sang in clear and sweet voice, winning the audience with perfect control of voice and self and proving fcer to be a finished vocalist. Mrs. Howse in two character readings immensely pleased everybody and is destined to be a favorite with au- diences here. Miss Coulthard and Mr. Gregory with mandolin and guitar and little Miss Cunningham were accorded deafening encores and Mi*. Wright-captivated the j audience with comic songs. Mr. Thomas in a splendid baritone and Mr. Lumsden were well received, as also were' the "Selections'-on the' bagpipes by Messrs.

Waterman, of Princeton, who has been at the Hotel Vancouver the past week, brings the information that the Provincial government has made an appropriation for the construction of a pack trail from the town of Princeton, to: Steamboat Mojwftain Camp, a distance of 55 miles. [Work on, the trail has commenced. This will obviate a roundabont journey to Hope Mountain. This new route will'be of immense" service to the parties living in the Kootenays and' Similkameen districts. ^ -mif The^imilkameen district is enjoying quite a boom owing to the activity in the' ■coal fields. The output at Princeton is in the- neighborhood "of 100 tons daily, and this is to be increased in the near future to 500 tons Gold is another factor in the make-up of the district. A syndicate which has beenjtesting the ground along the Similkameen and Tulameen rivers reports very favorably. Bars in the river are credited with an average of from 75 cents to $1.00 gold per cubic yard, a very good average, considering that gravel in California paying five cents per cubic yard is worked at a profit. In speaking of the lack of direct railway communication between the Similkameen district and Vancouver, Mr. Waterman states that a great deal of trade. is diverted to the United States.—Province. /-—I m***wm —^— THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR May 17, 1911.

Truly paternal legislation is that by which the Dominion parliament has made it possible for every person to provide against want in old age. Taking one phase alone of the dire effects of poverty and the despondency it creates, a large proportion of the suicides, no doubt, have their origin in the want which stares some poor middle-aged people in the face. Tbe alleviation of distress and want is a matter which has haunted governments in all countries and our own is not a whit behind in discovering | means that I will, if taken advantage of, reduce the probabilities of want and penury to the least common multiple of a chance or accident. In the new westland, particularly in the Similkameen, there are no evidences of want and every person is well provided for out of the bounties of nature. But it is the part of wisdom to provide for the rainy day, although it may never come. By the payment of $t, 50c. or 25c. per week into the Canadian Government Annuities, Ottawa, provision is made for a comforting income in old days of the annuitant. For all particulars apply to S. T. Bastedo, Government Superintendent, Ottawa, to whom letters go free of postage. '■ ■ Star has no apology to offer for again referring to tbe splendid location offered here for a mining school. With almost every kind of mineral found hereabouts and coal, lode and placer mining, and the manufacture of cement soon to be accomplished, there is a wide field for research and prospecting presented to the student. The location of a mining school here would afford an unrivalled field for practical demonstration among the various ores and placers, clays, mineral waters, lime rocks, coal, diamonds, jasper, &c. Added to these inducements is the beautiful, healthy climate adapted particularly for the necessities of young student life. It has been hinted that the govern- ment is disposed to have the mining school near the university to be built at Point Grey, near Vancouver. With all deference to the minister responsible for the suggestion Star does not think that the proposed location would be wise or in the interests of the public who pay for it or to the best advantage of a mining education for young students. I'i;t|?_ A large majority of newspaper readers in this province favor the clean journal as compared with the abusive, libellous, name-calling sheet that depends on notoriety rather than real merit for its circulation. The daily press and all the weeklies published in British Columbia, with the one notable exception of the Sunset printed in Vancouver, are clean and fit for any person's perusal. It is that exception which proves the rule. The newspapers reflect the current opinion and thought of the people in clean and wholesome language and it is only _when a newspaper descends to low invective and scurrility, degrading the profession of journalism, that public attention is directed to the necessity for its reform. A low state of morals and manners must result from an unbridled tongue or pen. The law prohibits obscenity or profanity in public hearing and it is equally pronounced in regard to lying defama^ tions printed in vulgar and demoralizing billingsgate. Both constitute public nuisances and menace the well-being of the social fabric. Rude and uncouth names, printed as one frequently observes in the paper mentioned, are not in the vocabulary of the gentleman. In behalf of decency and clean journalism the foul newspaper should be avoided as a pest and if it is not prohibited through the mails it can be debarred admittance into respect? able company. Tbe character of the home and the individual is known bv the literature taken. If clean journalism is appreciated only clean journals will be patronized and encouragement given to that respectful, courteous social intercourse which exalts a community and also the nation. There is a very welcome report in circulation that a through passenger train - will -be-operated from Spokane to Princeton beginning ist of June. It is almost too .good to be true. It is now over a year and a half since the first regular train arrived here and there have been a dozen rumors about this same old push-and-pull train which takes a day and a night and half a day to crawl up the Jimhilkameen valley to its destination. The slowtst train service in the world is said to be down in Mexico where all hands have been known to go to sleep between stations and the train would have to be cancelled. The train hands on the Great Northern take a snooze at Oroville and not a wheel turns until they get well rested up and then they pull up to Princeton, fifty miles or so, and then they pull back again. Now, if Jim Hill can't give a through quick run between Spokane and Princeton he should get the Mexi" cans to manage i_. ly__- fjr Similkameen Hotel J. N.
