ft / %: THE OMINECA HERiMfc Vol. 4. No. 32. HAZELTON, B. C, FEBRUARY it, 1912 TEN PAGES W== LETTERS FROM THE EAST (By a Staff Correspondent) Toronto, Jan. 25.-If the West cannot find means of transporting its great wheat crop to the East it surely discovered a rapid transit carrier for shipping its weather The green Christmas which was bemoaned all over Eastern Canada was quickly followed by a series of semi-weekly storms and zero spells from the West which nipped the buds of the open winter theories. Fur coats, skating rinks and toboggan slides are now having carnival season during the brief resting periods of the storm gods, and young and old are agreed that Canada is this year getting a real winter, ooo When the sporting men of the Pacific Coast, whose pockets are vulgarly fat with money, undertook to depopulate the East of professional hockey players it was predicted that the national winter game would loose public interest in the provinces where it was born and nursed from amateur infancy into classy professionalism, but despite these prophesies the daily papers continue to devote a page or two each issue to sport. Hockey, along with other things, continue to thrive in the East. 0 0 0 This is not the only instance in which the easy money egotism of the West has led it to misjudge the East. The time was a few years ago when the price of a drink west of Winnipeg would buy a first-class meal or a night's lodging in Ontario, or in the provinces down by the Atlantic. To-day two-bits are no bigger in a Toronto hotel than they are in Vancouver, and the prosperous man of the East spends quite as much on taxi-cabs, theatres, dinnerparties and parlor cars as his brother does in the western club, and gets more pleasure for his money. The West advertises its waste but the East has extravagances. ooo It is somewhat amusing for one who has lived in the West to hear the agitations of the narrow-faced holy citizens, and watch the struggles of some legislators to drive sin out of the world and make the red-blooded Canadian youth sit prim and quiet on the Sabbath. The biggest question now before the Council and the Board of Control of the City of Toronto is how to prevent citizens from tobogganing and skating in the public parts on Sunday. So far they have been unable to get legislation to prevent it and the Sunday sport has been greatly popularized by the wry faces of the Sunday Alliance. ooo Sir William Mackenzie who is generally recognized as a wizard in touching banks and capitalists for loans, is continually springing some surprise on the financial world. When Sir William goes after money he always gets it and the simplicity of his methods (Continued on page :i) HARRIS MINES LONG TUNNEL Are in Two Hundred and Forty Feet- Hit the Ore before March 1st.��� Means much to the District The end of this week will find the tunnel on the Harris Mines into the side of the hill 245 feet with but another 50 feet to go before thpv strike the ore. The owners fully expect to come in ! contact with the vein before the first of March, and then drifting on the vein will begin. The de-1 velopment of the Harris mines is one of the most important features of the work in this district and what turns out when they hit the ore has a great bearing upon the prosperity of the Hazelton district this summer. This property and the Rocher de Boule are making great strides to get into the ore bodies at a depth of a hundred feet or more. If they get the kind of ore they are looking for then the future of the camp is assured. The Harris Mines have reason to believe that they will strike ore in the tunnel equal the very rich stuff tha" was taken out of Silver Standard mine last fall when the shaft was sunk to 85 foot level. If the ore is all right in the tunnel, said the manager of the Harris Mines to the Herald, we will start a second tunnel almost immediately at a level which will give us 500 feet depth on the vein and which will tap all the veins. This tunnel will be the general working tunnel and will be known as Tunnel No. 2. Unless unforseen difficulties are encountered the new tunnel can be driven into the ore and connection made with the No. 1 tunnel by rising and sinking on the vein, by Dec.lst of this year. All the people who have been on the Harris property and on Rocher de Boule are confident that the ore at the 100 foot depth for which both are now driving, will be up to expectations. If this is a fact there will be nothing whatever to keep the capitalists out of the country. Telkwa Booming John McNeil of Aldermere, of the firm of Broughton & McNeil, I was in town several days this j week on business. He reports everything in a flourishing condition in the valley. Everyone is prosperous and they are making money. All lines of business are doing well and there will be a big influx of people there this summer. The construction work on the railway is helping the j valley people a great deal and j this summer there will be a big I boom on when the new townsite is put on the market and the railway yards and terminals get I underway. Mr. McNeil is very j hopeful of the future of that district. Old Boys Return Just as the rohbins and the wild fowl return to their summer feeding places with the first signs of spring, so are the old hoys of the hills coming from the south where they have been holidaying for several months and getting ready to start on the new season's work. It looks good to see the familliar faces again. They come fresh from the cities and are filled with new life and energy, and those who remained here all winter absorb the overflow of this new energy and put forth greater effort. Its like the dead coming back and taking a new lease of life. Every train that comes up from the coast is now bringing half a dozen old boys back. They are all welcome. So are the new men who are already coming in to prepare for opening up business in New Hazelton. NEW HAZELTON'S RAILWAYS That New Hazelton is destined j 1 to be an important railway centre, and one of magnitude, is becoming more and more apparent. In l and around Vancouver and Victoria it is common talk that the big railway interests are making plans for running up to the Ground Hog Anthracite coal fields. From the eastern cities! come the same reports. All this j means that those who are living, in the town today will hardly realize what is going on until we find ourselves in the midst of al city of size and importance. The great railway centre of Saskatoon started nine years ago with a very fragile foundation (so it was thought then) to build on. New Hazelton starts with a firmer A HAZELTON PASTURE FIELD With Rocher de Haul* Mountain in the Back Ground foundation for future greatness than Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary or Edmonton had at the start. It is not only our present population alone who are going to build the city, but the hundreds throughout Canada and the United States who are investing in the property and who will come as soon as the trains are running. They will have a say in moulding New Hazelton's future. The shrewd investors appear to be purchasing largely between Ninth and Tenth Avenues to Twenty-fifth Ave. The higher ground in most cities turns out to be where the most money is made. New Hazelton will not likely be an exception. HORSE AND MULE WERE BURNED Fire Broke Out in John Goold's Barn and Destroyed Everything in a Short Time FARM LANDS DEVELOPMENT AND REAL COLONIZATION North Coast Land Co, are Preparing to Open Up This District in a Systematic Manner-*-=Get Land Ready for the Settler During the coming spring and summer the North Coast Land Co., of Vancouver, owners of large tracts of agricultural land in the Skeena and Bulkley Valleys and right through to Fort George, have prepared a program for the development of their lands and also for the settlement of them. H. S. Wilson arrived in town on Saturday last for the purpose of making a report to the company a n d getting things in shape for the start in the spring as soon as the snow is gone. He stated to the Herald that the company would clear their land, erect a cabin and a stable on each of the farms and have them ready so that the settler can start in the first season and farm instead of having two or three years work ahead of him before there is any revenue. The North Coast Land Co. is one of the best land companies in the Dominion and they have always made it a point to accept no land that is not up to standard. They get individual reports on each piece, and in this way they have established a most enviable reputation among their clients. The policy that has been planned for this district is an ideal one and this company will in that way do more to open up and settle the northern interior than any other. The first work, the Herald was given to understand, would be done in the vicinity of New Hazelton. Thus the new town will soon be having farm and garden produce grown in its own territory. The second barn fire within a very short time was discovered early yesterday morning. In this one horse and mule were burned to death and the building is a total wreck. It was about half- past three when some of the boys living in cabins close by awoke to find the neighborhood all lighted up. Ed. McBeth was one of the first to get out. As soon as he saw the flames he ran over in his underclothes and succeeded in getting Harry Sykes team out of the tent right along side the fire. The barn however was too far gone to allow anyone to enter and save the animals in it. The fire department was soon on the scene but could do nothing except prevent the flames spreading. The horse and mule were the property of Wm. Richardson. The general impression is that the fire was started by some malicious party and if that is the case the sooner there is an investigation the better for everyone in town. Eagle's Dance J. H. Jennings left on Thursday for his home in Portland, Ore. where he will visit for a month or two. He has been associated with Rocher de Boule mine all winter and when he comes back he will likely be connected with the Lead King mine. Ed. Tappy has purchased the freighting outfit owned by Harry Sykes and in future he will carry on a general freighting business. | Tappy has been one of A. L. j McHugh's freighters for some time and he is well acquainted with the work. The Eagle's dance on Tuesday night was one of the big social successes of the season. The committee in charge proved very capable and managed the affair to perfection. A very large crowd was present and all were delighted. The decorations were particularly attractive and the music was the best yet. Roy Miller, of the Hazelton Bakery, furnished a very tasty luncheon. Ed. McBeth, who recently bought the Union Transfer outfit, will shortly be running two six-horse outfits between here and Aldermere. He has a lot of business ahead of him now anr* he looks for a busy time rig' along. All orders left at Omineca Hotel will re prompt attention. THE OMINECA HERALD. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 9. 1912.

The new people who are already coming in from the i outside are just as enthusiastic. It is and will be for many years a town of boosters (people who have faith in their own). That, is the main feature in a successful town and district. When everyone is boosting capital and energy will be applied so that the very best of results will be obtained. New Hazelton is no place for the knocker or the disgruntled. New Hazelton is justified in boosting because it has everything at its very door to make a big and very prosperous town. The people who are there now are hustlers. They have ideas of business that are new. They will apply them in a way that will bring results. From the splendid agricultural lands of the Kispiox Valley, where there are already quite a number of prosperous farmers, will come supplies, and that valley will also be a permanent market for the merchandise of the town. On the other side is the Chicken Lake country which will also be a big patron of New Hazelton. On all sides are the mines which for the past two years have been undergoing development so that by the time the railway can haul freight the mines will be ready to ship ore. It is therefore a town that will have a big business from the very start. The people here now are not the only ones who appreciate this. The past two weeks several people from the outside have come in for the purpose of starting in business and at least three of them have made arrangements for buildings, stocks, etc., to be here and ready early in the spring. The reports from the outside make it look as though the big population of New Hazel- will be new people, and these people will be a prominent factor in establishing the town and moulding its conduct and business methods. development of the land because they know that it will turn out well. If there were more companies like the North Coast Land Co. the province would rapidly increase its wealth and its population. There would be no wild cats and no land frauds. The public would have utmost confidence and the settlers would come fast and make good and increase the revenue of the province. In the policy of the North Coast Land Co., New Hazelton will derive much benefit as a lot of the lantl to be improved is within a reasonable tlistance of that growing antl prosperous town. The worst we can wish is that the North Coast Land Co. will meet with the greatest success in their undertaking. W. J. Larkworthy General Merchant Complete line of merchandise always on hand.

His latest scheme brought in five and a half millions cash and the lender received for the money a promise to participate in speculative lands which the Canadian Northern will make valuable by | the location of its projected lines. The deal includes real estate in Montreal water front and lots in I Port Mann, and two unselected townsites in British Columbia, between Edmonton and Vancouver. Putting up five and a half! millions fora promise to receive a few acres of real estate which is now waste land, is the peak speculation in Canada to date. they do not even believe in evolution, but those ��� who'knowthe men personally . attribute their refusal to adopt modern methods in legislation to the fact that suggestion is distasteful to them. Anything which does-, not eminafe from themselves is'*'not to be tolerated. Ontario will have to wait for an improved scheme of taxation until the-Premier .is in a receptive mood ���which will be a long time yet. SILVER STANDARD SUPERINTENDENT w S. Haskins Takes the Place of Geo. McBean Who Has Gone East to Visit His Home ooo "A checker board assessment" ! is the repeated reply of Premier Whitney to the publicists who ask that Ontario municipalities have the privilege of adopting the single tax. In view of the fact that Ontario licence laws make the map look like a crazy quilt, the argument of the Premier is not a weighty one and reminds one of the reply the Attorney General of British Columbia gave Prince Rupert when that city asked for a modern city charter. It was refused on the ground that it was different and other cities of the province might want one too. Thus two of Canada's leading politicians believe in compounding an evil rather than apply a remedy in parts. One would almost suppose that Sir James Whitney and Hon. Bowser are so Conservative that ooo The East has always looked to the West to take the initative in advanced legislation in both state and municipality. Having virgin soil to work on and being unhampered by traditions, the West, with its sporting blood, accepts the duty with good cheer and usually reaps tbe profits of success. For many years the single tax doctrines of Henry George were little more than a theory working in the minds of men, but the teachings of-the great political economist are now being appreciated. Almost the first city to adopt the single tax ���or tax on land values only, was Prince Rupert. It was quickly followed by Vancouver and now the Province of Alberta is pass- ing legislation making it compulsory for all municipalities to adopt the principles within the next five years. Just whether taxing land only will adjust the; differences between capital and labor as argued by Henry George remains to be seen. It will take years to test it, but this much is certain, that the western cities which do not tax improvements have accepted the new plan with good grace and in some instances with enthusiasm.��� G.R.T.S. W. S. Haskins, formerly superintendent of Nickle Plate Mine at Rossland, arived in New Hazelton on Wednesday and reported ready for his new duties as superintendent of the Silver Standard Mine on Glen Mountain. Mr. Haskins is a first class mining man, having at one time been superintendent of the Nickle Plate Mine, of Rossiand. He comes to take the place of Geo. McBean, the original locator of the property and who has since been the superintendent. He has long been anxious to get, away so that he could visit his old home in the east. Mr. Haskins wastakpn over to! the mine by D.

He will also prepare for the machinery which has been shipped and should be at the end-of steel this week: It will be hauled out to the property and installed and the development work will then be resumed with greater energy than ever.

HENNING, Manager The veteran as well as the beginner is sometimes puzzled over the numerous brands of feed that are upon the market. There are all kinds of scratch feeds mixed in various proportions and with a varying quality of grain. All claim to be the very thing that you want, and if you will feed this particular brand you will have lots of eggs and your chickens will do well. These statements may all be true enough, but it is all confusing even at that. The beginner wants to know which to purchase and which will give best results. The seasoned poultryman is often beguiled into something new, and hence gets away from the beaten path. It is only natural for any manufacturer to speak highly of his goods. Much good judgment therefore must be exercised when making a selection. The writer heard a well-read farmer say but a short time ago that if the farmer would stick to good sound grains, both whole and ground, instead of getting on to these prepared foods for cattle, that the cows would be better off. He further remarked that many of these prepared foods would stimulate the milk flow for a time, but would be detrimental later on. Now this is good sense and can be applied to feeds used in poultry work. Know what you are getting, and get what you pay for. If you CHURCH SERVICES PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HAZELTON -* purchase wheat and pay a good price for it, you know that you ] have good wheat. It can be fed whole to the older chickens, and taken to a grist mill and cracked for the little chicks. Not long1 ago a party fed some of the commercial chick feed and found that many of the small seeds had been taken into the crop and had swollen the crop full. Many of these chicks had died apparently from this cause. Now what the seeds were was not known, but from the large percentage of these seeds in the crop, it was reasonable to believe that something was wrong. The chicks were in a position to get plenty of grit and ought to have been able to grind whatever grain they ate. This same thing applies to all kinds of feeds. If you purchase the grains ground or whole, and then mix them yourself, you know what you are feeding, and in just what proportion. If you find that you want more of this or that, you are in a position to mix it as you see fit, and as it gives the best results. If you can get on to a good grain ration that proves successful, stick to it and mix the grains in the same proportion from time to time. In this way you will feed evenly and with an assurance of success. If you are changing from time to time from one brand of prepared food to another, and depending j on your dealer to get the same *-���= ! brand each time, you will never | | get down to a definite, systematic S ' method of feeding.

Got Some New Ore On Monday one of the men from Silver Cup Mine came into town and he had a sack of ore as a sample that he brought in from the Duke Vein on that property. The samples were exceptionally fine specimens of the Cup ore and the directors of the company here were particularly pleased to know that this class of ore had been found on the Duke Vein. All winter the men have been driving a tunnel on this vein and they are now in 105 feet. The vein at this point is a foot and a half wide and there is at least four inches of solid ore the same as the samples brought in. It was not expected that ore of this grade would be found in the Duke vein so that the property is thus more promising than ever. The samples will be assayed as soon as Mr. McLeod or Mr. Smith can get hold of the assayer. ST. PETER'S CHURCH HAZELTON Services: Morning at 11 o'clock: Sunday School at 2:30; Evensong at 7 o'clock.

It is no longer a j question to those who know how ��� long this or that will be. Grand Trunk trains will be running into ; New Hazelton in fewer months j than the average man can realize. JThe construction of the bridge across the Skeena is no longer considered a barrier. Supt. Hal- pin has been doing some fine work and he has had favorable conditions to work under. One big caisson is not only sunk but it is sealed up and they are sinking fast on the other one. They are sure now that the piers will all be completed by the first of May, and that the steel men can start on their part of the bridge as soon as the tracks are up to the bridge and the steel can be hauled up.The track is making splendid progress and the present exceptionally fine weather is just what they want. I .All the time the track is being laid Foley, Welch & Stewart have scoresof four-horse teams hauling ' cement and other supplies up to the bridge so that there has not been so much as a day's delay in the whole work and there is not j likely to be. The matter of the : steel work on the bridge is simple 1 and it will not take over six weeks ! to complete it with ordinary luck | and then the tracks can be run i across and on through to New Hazelton, reaching that town in July or the first part of August at : the latest. Thus the freight and passenger traffic, which is heav- 1 iest the middle and later part of the summer will be looked after by the railway. The season for the steamers will be remarkably ! short at best as they cannot and will not attempt to compete with the railway. In short the situation at the present time appears to be that the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway will be running regular trains into New Hazelton in lots of time for all the merchants to get in their summer goods and there will be no more necessity to put in $100,000 stocks to last for seven or eight months. That day is over and the New Hazelton merchants will get their first goods by rail at an early date.

As a 1 matter of fact he is representing some big interests that are prepared to put a lot of money into New Hazelton. | The Post Office Question The post office is still a burning question for all the residents of the town. They have sent a wire and a petition to Ottawa asking that the post office be not located Ion Ninth Ave. as was proposed, j as it is eight or nine blocks away i from the business and residential section which is now on Section one and south of Eleventh Ave. ' To have the telegraph and post office so far away would indeed he a hardship for the people here now and for some time to come. No word has been received from the department at Ottawa as to what is being done. In the: meantime the people are getting their mail from a score or more places in town. In fact in comes to almost a different place every time, and no one knows whether they get what is coming to them or not. The commercial progress of the town is also being handicapped from the same cause. The business section is now in Section One and that part of the townsite is being rapidly built I up, and there is every reason to ! believe that the busines and the greater residential part of the | population will always be in the j ame vicinity.

Johnson, Pederson and McDonald will start to build a trail for wagon traffic from Sec. 35 down to meet the Government trail, a distance of a mile and a half. They will get busy as soon as the snow is off in the spring. This will make a big improvement to their property and also a great convenience to the travelling public. It is now generally acknow- leged that some of the best land in this whole district is around Chicken Lake, and it is nearly all taken up. At the present time there are in the neighborhood of 50 to GO settlers residing here and before the summer gets well advanced this number will be increased to at least a hundred. The future for this section is very bright and greater accounts will come from it than has hitherto been expected. Messrs. Christiansen and Stain- rnan will complete their houses in the early spring and then bring in their families to make their homes in the Chicken Lake country. Gus Haller, of Hazelton, will be out to his ranch in a short time and he will remain for several weeks. T. H. Pederson spent a few in Hazelton last week on business. The settlers in this district are arranging to put in a busy season clearing up their farms and getting them ready for cultivation. It is a big job as the timber in many places is pretty heavy, but once it is off the land is the finest in the world and within the next couple of years there will be a great bunch of fine farm produce taken out of this country. Chicken Lake is one of the choice garden spots of the northern interior. It will be one of the main arteries of trade for New Hazelton. In this district, which in the past has been over looked by the masses in favor of the greater Bulkley Valley, there is a large track of land that is first class agricultural land. It is a natural garden and the people who have gone in and settled would not trade for any other land in the country. They are all boosters who have real confidence in their country and if there were only a few more like them here Chicken Lake would soon come to the front and a good little town would soon spring up. Aside from the excellent farm arid garden land it is just at the foot of Hudson Bay Mountain and it is closer to the mines than any other point and it is also on the railway. As a matter of fact the Hudson Bay Mountain trade should all come to this point. Do you like the neighbor who is eternally borrowing and never returning? Now tell the truth, do you? Of course not! Nobody does. LIBERALS HELD GOOD MEETING Organized for the Year and are Getting Down to Business���Executive to' Hold Regular Meetings Stanfield's Underwear, Mc- 1 Arthur's Emporium. The annual meeting of the Liberal Association of Hazelton was held in the Presbyterian Reading rooms on Monday night last and there was a splendid attendance, and the utmost confidence was demonstrated in the success of the Liberal party in British Columbia in the near future. The present government, as expressed by the speakers, had taken possession of everything in the province that they could get their hands on and that the public wasbeginning to realize the fact that there was little or nothing left for the people. The Liberals of Hazelton, although they have been defeated in the past, are still alive and they will put up a fight at the next and every election���until such time as the province is governed in the interests of the masses. There will be a Liberal convention in Vancouver on Feb. 29th and the Hazelton Association will | be represented there by Duncan Ross and F. C. McKinnon, and these gentlemen will make a report to the association upon their return. The new officers for the year were elected and the executive committee will meet regularly and get to work systematically. WHOLESALE WHOLESALE First Spring Call Fill up your short lines.

Those who have planned for early moving will be located in Section One. The first Business District always remains a Business District.

NEW HAZELTON Section 2 Since the decision of the Board of Railway Commissioners making the future town at New Hazelton, the sale of lots, both here and in Vancouver, have been away beyond expectations. Nearly all of the Business Houses in the Old Town of Hazelton have Secured Lots And as the choice locations are being rapidly picked up by outside people, those who had the foresight to obtain the best locations can consider themselves fortunate as we predict that in a very few months some of these will be worth three times what has been paid for them. To you who have not yet secured your lot let us say:���This is the opportunity we have all been waiting for��� - A UNITED TOWN - Don't delay in securing your lots as they are being sold so rapidly that in a week from now it will be difficult to obtain a really good location without paying someone else a profit.

Cowan, of Rocher de Boule mine, arrived in town on Saturday and left on Monday for the mine where he will take charge of the business end of the property, and from now on he will rush the development work on the property. He stated that a 25 l..>.>. boiler and two giant drills with all the equipment were now on the way between Seattle and Hazelton. They should be at the mine in a few days when they will be installed and then the spring operations will be started. A hoist is also coming up foi' the purpose of taking supplies up to the upper lead which is the big copper vein. It is on this vein that the company will start the next tunnel, and they will get busy on a tunnel over 400 feet which will give them a depth on this vein of 20!) feet. A small tram will also be built to the upper lead. As soon as the railway reaches the bridge and it is possible to gel the heavier mining' machinery up to the property it will be brought in and installed. The object of the company is to have the mine in shape so that they can start shipping ore continuously by the fall. Chief of Police Wynn took two prisoners down to New Westminister on Monday.

The commercial men are coming in fast and early this year. On Thursday morning there were five or six of them left town for the valley where they will spend a few days stocking up the merchants there. F. L. Charleson, of Telkwa, was in town this week on business. He is very optimistic about ' the great business that will be done in the valley this coming !season. He says that the con- i struction work will mean a great deal to them and already they are deriving a lot of benefit from it.

Sargent, one of the best known prospectors of the Hazelton distriet. returned to town last Saturday and he reports that next summer will see one ol' the bi*L>jii*st rushes to New Hazelton that has yet been recorded in the north. In all the cities he visited the chief topic of conversation was New Hazelton and the Hazelton mines, ln Vancouver, Seattle, and Victoria one can hear very little else spoken of. He says that if even a part of the people come who say they are there will be an immense crowd. While in Portland, Billy said that he was made an offer for the Ohio group on Rocher de Boule mountain, adjoining Rocher de i Boule mine. The offer was very ; tempting but he did not close it' as he prefered to wait until there is more development on the ad-1 joining property. If he does not get a deal through in the early summer he says he and Munro will go out and do some develop-, ment work on it themselves. Mr. Sargent spent a great part of the winter at his home in Minneapolis. While in Vancouver he says that the Hazelton Prospectors Club presented Wm. Kennedy with a cabinet of silver on the eve of his wedding. The club is in fine shape and they had many good times there during the winter, and also did a lot of good work for the district. He was I accompanied back to the old diggings by Billy Thompson and they will remain here now for the rest of the season. Umineea Land District���District nt Coast. Kange V.

The Pioneer Firm of Hazelton (Established 1870) It is difficult for a woman who has led an active life as housekeeper to become a passive member of her son's or daughter's home. She likes her old way best, she longs to show the younger generation how they are wasting their resources. Youth will learn only by experience. It resents interference. And as there are misunderstandings, unhappiness results. A woman is always happier in her own home with her own income, however small it may be, than in the home of another, even of her own son and daughter, though it be a home of wealth and lavish generosity, where there is an earnest desire Lo make her comfortable and happy.
