THE NICOLA Vol 3. No. 12. NICOLA, B. C, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1907. $2 a Year ON GRANITE CREEK LAMBERT BR08. AND STEWART TO START OPERATIONS. Mile and a Half Secured Will Oper- on Up to Date Lines. Lumber and Supplies on the Way to Their Camp. R. A. Lambert, of Vancouver, arrived) in Nicola this week and will leave tomorrow for Granite Creek, where he will spend the season mining on the Tulameen and Granite. During the excitement at Granite creek about twenty years ago Mr. Lambert was one of the first on the ground and at that time secured placer leases which paid more or less, but was unable to open them HO on a large scale owing to the great expense entailed. Since that time Mr. l.arm r>rt has been in many gold excitements and has now returned to old Granite creek convinced that he can make a succe: j of ground which was given up owing to not having the new devices available to work economically or satisfactorily. During his stay in the Atlin district he invented several pieces of machinery to overcome difficulties as they cropped up, which are now being used to a considerable extent by the miners in that section. Being a practical and experienced man, Mr. Lambert should make a success of his work on Granite creek. The possibility of a large camp in this section is about to materialize, as, besides securing gold in quantities, platinum will be carefully looked after. In the excitement of the old days platinum was worth in the camp only 50 cents an odnce, but now-a-days it is valued at $38. The miners not knowing the value of it and having it in abundance disposed of it for whatever they could get and often dumped it away. It is estimated that the output saved and wasted in those days must have been worth, at present prices, several million dollars. Interested with Mr. Lambert are his . brother, Frank Lambert of Nicola, and Thos. Stewart of Vancouver, and they have secured a mile and a half of Granite creek which they will operate on this season. Several tons of supplies went in this week and it is expected that about twelve thousand feet of lurn-1 ber will be brought from Princeton to be used for Humes, etc". It is the intention before the spring freshet lo clean out the creek channel of the large boulders, which will enable them to get water at the lowest depth for ground sluicing. Friction hoists and derricks run by water power will be the manner in which thu ground will be worked. This manner of working ground proved a great success in the Atlin diatrict and with all the new modes and ideas Mr. Lambert and his partners should make ��� success of their venture. is well shown by a special descriptive account of the two days' conference of the North America Fish and Game Protective Association at Quebec. At that, conference progress was reported all along the line. There is plenty of mat-1 ter about Wolves, including an account j of the hunt organized by the Canadian I Pacific Railway, and thoss who have had their interest aroused in the matter i of wolves will in this number find ample MM for gratifying their thirst fori information. The Mj steries of the Car-1 ibou is a paper of deep interest to all | sportsmen, while duck shooters will live i some of their experiences over again | when reading Black Duck Shooting in the Creeks. There are many other papers dealing with various phases of the backwoods life, while there is a forecast of the International Automobile and Motor Boat Show to be held in Montreal early in April, while the several Departments show the same vigor that characterizes the whole production. A PROMISING CAMP GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS IN AND AROUND BEAR OREEK. LOOAL NEWS. Mock Trial next Tuesday evening. Joseph Graham, of Coutlee, was a visitor to Nicola on Tuesday. Max Eckar, of Otter Valley, spent several days in Nicola this week. The regular meeting of Court Nicola, A. 0. F., will be held on Friday evening in Pooley's hall. The death took place at Nicola on Tuesday morning of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Milliard. Dr. W. J. Curry will arrive in Nicola on Monday, the 25th, and will remain for twelve days. Parties desiring dental work should visit Dr. Curry. Mr. McKenna, of the Babcoci.-Wilcox Co., arrived in Coutlee from Moi.treal last week and will superintend the erection of the new water tube boiler for the Diamond Vale Coal & Iron Mines, Ltd. W. H. Armstrong, vice-president of the Nicola Valley Coal & Coke Co. Ltd. of Vancouver, and S. Tingley of Ashcroft, were at Coutlee this week and were looking over the Middlesboro' Col- leries, in which they are interested. Bruce Warden, of Bankhead, arrived in Coutlee on Monday and will remain for some time.

Camsell of Geological Survey En thuslastlc Over Showings ln This District -More Extended Study This Tear. In the summary report of the Geological Survey Department of Canada for 1906, which has just been issued, the director of the department, A. P. Low, in giving an account of inspection work in British Columbia says that his visit to British Columbia bas given him some idea of the great extent and value of the mineral resources of the southern part of this province. Charles Camsell, who was carrying out an investigation in and around the Tulameen river and Bear creek, was quite enthusiastic about the mineral prospects of that neighborhood. Mr. Camsell in his report says that some very promising mining properties are being exploited in the neighborhood of Bear creek which will warrant a more extended study this year. The geological conditions he states are as follows:��� Stretching across in a northerly direction from the mouth of Champion creek to the head of the Coldwater is a bed of light colored granite. In contact with this on the east side is a series of metamorphosed sedioenls, limestone, quartzite and schists, extending from the Coldwater river to the Fish lakes. From the Fish lakes to the forks of Eagle creek the granite is in contact with a dike-like mass of peridotite a mile to two miles wide, which then strikes southeasterly at a sharp angle with the strike of the granite. In this angle between the granite and the peridotite is another small area of quartzite, limestone and mica schist, which extends south to the Tulameen river and terminates at Champion creek. Bordering the peridotite and schists on the east is a large body of pyroxenite, which extends from the falls on Bear creek, where the wagon road crosses it, southward across the Tulameen river, where it comes in contact with granite. The pyroxenite is succeeded on the east by enormous masses of volcanic rocks, which have undergone considerable me- tamorphism and are earlier in age than those volcanic rocks previously referred to in this report as occurring on the Similkameen river. Dikes of diabase, quartz-porphyry, granite-porphyry and rhyolite cut all the other rocks, and consequently are later in origin. Contacts between the granite and schists, between the granite and peridotite, and between the schists and peridotite and pyroxenite, were discovered and studied in the field, and from these the geological relations were worked out. The schists which are probably metamorphosed limestones and quartzites are the oldest rocks in the district, for they are cut by all the others and are found as inclusions in the granite and in the |>eridotite. Next in age comes the peridotite, and with thia must be included the pyroxenite, though the latter is slightly the younger, for on Eagle creek dikes of pyroxenite were found cutting the peridotite. Prof. J. F. Kemp, who examined the district in 1900. reports the same conditions on the south side of the Tulameen river. The next rock in sequence is the large batholithic mass of granite lying to the west. Contacts between this and the older rocks are well shown on the Tulameen and on Eagle creek. Following the granite intrusion are the sheared and metamorphosed volcanic flows, and later again are the dikes which have penetrated all the preceding rocks. Mineral claims have been located all along this granite contact, from Champion creek across to the Coldwater river, and for many years the placers of the Tulameen river and its tributaries below Champ., ii cretk have been profitably worked for gold and platinum. I These placers in being gradually ex- j hausted, and the Tulameen river from being the principal producer of platinum on the North American continent, now supplies an annual output of thirty or forty ounces of that metal. Mining activity, however, is now being revived and the production from lode mining will probably soon be far greater than it ever was in the best days of the placer miner. Most of the mineral claims have been located in the area of schists, limestones and quartzites, and some in the peridotite and pyroxenite belt. The metals for which they have been staked are gold, silver and copper; and the minerals occurring arc pyrrhotite, pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite and calcite, with some zinc blende and molybdenite. Molybdenite is found in several places along the granite contact. At Independent camp at the head of the Cold- water river it occurs in fine scales in the large porphyry dike, and at Champion creek it is found in little quartz stringers cutting the schists at and near the contact with the granite.

Miss Bertha Woodward is in charge j of the store and postoffice and is kept very busy attending to customers. Fred Paige, the blacksmith, is doing a rushing business just now and has found it necessary to engage an assistant. J. A. Menzies is about to move his portable sawmill to R. Whittaker's ranch, where he has about 200,000 feet of logs to saw for different parties. Joseph Cleasby, of Petit Creek, has decided to erect a large frame barn 30x 60 feet. He has engaged W. Gray, of Lower Nicola, to do the framing. We are having beautiful spring weather. There are many robins, humming birds and other sprinj songsters to be seen every day. The nightingales have not been heard since the occasion of the Christmas Tree. Dan Mclnnes has placed an order for lumber with R. M. Woodward for the erection of a butcher shop at Merritt. Mr. Mclnnes is a first class judge of stock and we wish him every success in his undertaking. W. Gray has just finished getting out 50,000 feet of logs and has engaged Mr. Menzies to saw them. Mr. Gray purposes building a new house and other i buildings on his ranch this summer. I Harry Stumbles is also building a new house on his ranch. There are many lonely bachelors in this district and it has been proposed to send a petition to Ottawa to assist ! them, also to ask The Nicola Herald to add a matrimonial column to their paper.

In the recent consignment of fruit which left the province uuder the care of R. M. Palmer was a small consignment of apples from the well known orchard of Mrs. John Smith, of Spences Bridge. The Fruit was exhibited at the Colonial Fruit Exhibition held under the auspices of the Royal Horticultural Society in London, Eng., on December 4th of last year. The exhibit was considered so good that Mrs. Smith was awarded the Silver Gilt Knightian Medal for it. This award ranks next to the Gold Medal awarded to the Provincial Government for its general exhibit and holds the highest place amongst the awards given for individual exhibits. The exhibit received the greatest attention from the public who attended the exhibition and Mrs. Smith is to be commended for her enterprise in sending a consignment of apples for competition and showing the outside public the quality of fruit raised in this district. Mrs. Smith's estate is one of the finest in the province. Incorporation of Local Coal Oo. The last issue of the B. C.

Editor Nicola Herald: Dear Sir,-The attention of the managers of the Presbyterian church should be called to the disgraceful condition of the path leading from the outside gate to the church door. At present it has a most decided tendency to make the thoughts of any attender at church anything but holy, especially if they step into the pool of water which adorns the ground immediately in front of the church porch. Might I suggest to the management that they have a board walk constructed from the gate to the church, as the cemetery now being in disuse there is not the same necessity for vehicles to enter the churchyard as there was previously. The cost of such a Iward walk would be comparatively little, and would certainly tend to the comfort of those attending church. Yours truly, "Observer." From the Sage Brush. The following is told of a young couple at Kamloops: They were on their honeymoon trip to a coast city. They entered the dining-room of the hotel visibly emharrassed and self-conscious. After they were seated they held a long whispered consultation over the menu card. Finally the husband beckoned to a waiter and asked in a stage whisper: "Say, waiter, are them oysters on the half-shell, raw or cooked." R. J. Armstrong accompanied by his mother leaves for Keremeos this week. THE NICOLA HERALD THE NICOLA HERALD Published Every Thursday Subscription, ln Advance. 12 a Year Nicola, B. C, March 21,1907. New York's "high society" has long ken known to be in a bad st.ite. It is not bad; it is rotten��� so putrid, in fact, that the health ] inspectors should place it in quar-' antine. Some of the fearful (list-Insures of the Tlmv ease have laid bare facts of almost inconceivable degeneracy that have thrown ft cloud of shame over the first city of, the United States. While existing conditions were known in a general way, the recent revolting revela-1 tions have caused a great shock to the morality exponents of that city, and the muck-rake artists now threaten to drag the skeletons from many closets. The ladies of New York's 400 have long been known as experts with the pasteboards and connoisseurs of booze, and many a "sweet young thing" has celebrated her debut with the seductive Manhattan and a hand at bridge. That is certainly a good start for a "sighs and tears" finish. New- York has always been an ardent imitator of gay Paree, and, if all reports are true, she is traveling hard upon the heels of that "seat of Satan" in the debauchery of her women. TAX NOTICE.
