Lucky Lads with Scads and even Lovely Ladies began to Compute Batting Averages and Discourse upon the Delayed Steal and the Hook Slide. The Policy of the Plutocrats Below in throwing the switch and putting the Main Line on a Branch Line to keep the country more Compact was Moth- balled to the Shelf with the other Dried Lizards. The Pristine Pastime of figuring whether the Pitcher could outguess the Batter became Paramount. Thereupon the Coming Camp organized an Aggregation for the primal season that Pulled Down and Destroyed the Temples of all other Gobs of the Wherewith, and they Squandered for uniforms with Sassy Cerise Stockings. And all the while during the Best Winter We Ever Had, a Bunch of Huskies who had Broke the Barrier to a Healthy Start in ���Life long before the Advent of Curled Hay breakfast-foods, were Pitching the Pill about the Yard at a New Camp which was Right on the Stop where the Choo-choo cars will Stop. They were Ribbing to Rob the Pea-vine pennant winners of their Goat.

The Commission disallowed a station at South Hazelton, and the interests behind the new townsite are asking the Governor General in Council to allow a station to be placed at that point as well as at New Hazelton. The interests behind both towns are confident of the result. The New Hazelton people will fight the appeal very hard. Work is Making Rapid Progress and Trains will be Running Across on or before the Middle of July The contractors on the steel work on the Skeena Crossing bridge are making splendid progress and this week they completed the work on the first span. The steel is being completely rivited as it is laid and this will take somewhat longer than had the contractors used false work. But when it is done it will be permanent and nothing more will have to be touched. Four crews of riviters are employed and that is all that can be used. The last of the piers is all but completed and in a very few days the men will be all gone and the steel men will have the ground all to themselves. While this work is being carried on Foley, Welch & Stewart have gangs of men working on the piers and getting everything ready for the steel men on the several smaller bridges between Skeena Crossing and New Hazelton so that as fast as they can get the rails over the big bridge the steel men can start on the smaller structures which will not require much time to complete. Every effort will be made to The Last "First Boat" is Bringing Many Passengers���Left VanArsdol Yesterday Morning���Twenty-Seven Booked From Prince Rupert Before the shades of evening have closed over the town tonight the first boat to come up the river to the head of navigation will have pulled into port and many citizens will have welcomed the return of their friends and the first arrival of others. Tonight will be a momentous one for many. The steamer Inlander will be the first boat to berth at the Hazelton docks. She will also be the last "first boat" to arrive. The present season marks the closing of navigation on the mighty Skeena and everyone will be down to see the last first boat. The Inlander left VanArsdol yesterday morning for the Canyon and she will make all speed ahead every hour of daylight until she reaches Hazelton. When she left Prince Rupert there were on board twenty-seven passengers, and when she got to VanArsdol she waited for the train ion Wednesday night and picked iup as many more passengers, all 1 bound for Hazelton. Those who booked from Prince Rupert are : Misses Williams, Roy, Ewingand Peddle, E. J. Rice, Mrs. Parker, Mrs. Martin, L. H. Campbell, E. C. Stephenson, C. F. Scott, E. Cole, Mrs. Russell, Rev. A. E. Price, R. Coppock, son of H. Coppock, who is coming in to join his father in investments in Hazelton farming lands, W. E. Herger, R. L. Gale, of Telkwa, H. N. Wright, J. Millichamp, T. Burnside, L. Lavigne, Mrs. La- vigne, A. Tyson, Supt. of Indian Agents for British Columbia, Pat Phillipson. Indian Constable, H. B. Rochester, manager for the Inlander Co., Chas. Vaughan, and Mr. and Mrs. Bigelow. With the Arrival of the First Boats the Pack Trains will be brought in and started for the far north Local Freight Arrangements have been made by the Inlander people with Foley, Welch & Stewart to use the cable at Skeena Crossing for transferring local freight across the river when the cable is not in use on the contractors own work. The Inlander will be the first boat to arrive in Hazelton this year. B.C. Year Book The Omineca Herald received on the last mail a copy of the Year Book of British Columbia which is issued by the Provincial Government. This book is one of the most valuable books of reference and should be in the possession of business house of standing. It has been very cleverly compiled and is filled with illustrations. This book can be obtained upon application to the King's Printer, Victoria, for $1.15. get the steel into New Hazelton as soon as possible so as to get away from the bad roads between the bridge and that town. New Hazelton will also be the transfer point for some time as there is a lot of heavy work to be done between there and Mud Creek, and the road from New Hazelton east is in pretty good shape for transporting supplies to the camps farther out along the line. .. Warren, of the Hudson's Bay staff here received word this morning from Victoria of his appointment as manager of the post at Telegraph Creek, and he was instructed to leave Hazelton on the first boat for his new quarters. Mr. Warren has made many friends since he arrived in town and they will be sorry to see him leave. At the same time he will carry the best wishes of all. He is a clever and careful business man and he will make a mark for himself at his new post. The Steamer Port Simpson left Prince Rupert on Thursday morning at nine o'clock for Hazelton with a full cargo of fi eight for the Hudson's Bay Co. J. H. Boyd is also on board. The steamer is expected to arrive hereon Sunday be toward the fall of the year, it may also be possible to have another exhibit of farm produce. This will do much to counteract the many reports that have been sent out that the agricultural lands of this district were not what they were supposed to be. It is doubtful if there is a district in the province, or any part of Canada that can produce the same quality, size and quantity of vegetables as the Hazelton district. Every resident of the district whether miner, prospector, or farmer should lend all assistance to the movement and make the occasion the greatest success ever achieved. RAILWAY DAY A COMING EVENT G.T.P. to Run Big Excursion to Hazelton���Arrangements Now on Foot to Display Resources of the District One of the first and undoubtedly the greatest excursions that wili come into this district this season, and probably the one that will do the country the greatest amount of good will be Railway Day. This occasion will be run under the auspices of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Co. E. A. McMaster announced the plans, as far as perfected, when here this week. He consulted a number of the local mining and business men as to what arrangements could be made for their accommodation while here and as to an exhibition of ore and other produce. The idea appealed to the live wires at once and F. C. McKinnon is now devoting a lot of time to this end of the programme. The Railway Day excursion will be a big affair. Mr. McMaster says that the railway company will advertise the trip very extensively in all parts of the continent and that mining men and capitalists from every point will likely be among the passengers. The trip will be from Vancouver to Prince Rupert and then up the Skeena river to New Hazelton, and the Hazelton district, and probably farther into the valley if the road is completed any farther. The local people, headed by Mr McKinnon are now preparing to have an immense exhibit of the ores of the district made here in a convenient building where it can be seen and inspected. The exhibits will all be labeled and there will be men on the job to furnish information. It is also expected that arrangements will be made for conveyances and horses to take prospective investors out to the different properties, and also around the district.

I Many things have combined to hold the Hazelton district back, but the world is now fast learn- 1 ing of the wealth in the local hills, and with the early coming of the railway these hills are to be explored and the hidden treasure exposed. The district is on the eve of a great boom. FRIDAY. MAY 3. 1912 Prospector's Prospects The spring of 1912 opens with several things that affect the mining part of the population as a certainty where they were only foreshadowed before, or so far in the future that no time limit could be set to their accomplishment. Less than two months separates, in time, the closing of the gap the Skeena makes in the railway grade. Hundreds of feet of development work done in the last seven months have proven the continuity of ore bodies in Hazelton district prospects and our faith in this as a mining camp is so far amply justified. No one who takes the pains to familiarize himself with conditions as they are today will longer doubt the ability of numerous mining properties to pay returns on the investment necessary to open them up, and that handsomely. It is nearly four years since the first stakings of mineral claims started Hazelton off as a possibility on the mining map. It is admitted that the camp is backward but the transportation question is really at the bottom of that. But at that it is only the same time as between the first staking in Rossland and the first shipment, commercially, of ore. Two points have been firmly established : That the veins go down and that there is bonanza ore here. These two are enough. It is a guarantee that every prospect worth while will be tested. With the work now done, an old mining man who is well posted on this district, made the statement that he could take five tons of ore right now from six properties in the immediate vicinity of Hazelton that will run over $100 to the ton and every day's work that is being done is increasing the possibilities and proving the permanency. For the first few weeks the attention of the prospectors will be devoted chiefly to the lower hills from which the snow has already disappeared. Nine Mile, Four Mile and Glen Mountains are already dotted with prospectors camps, and although some of the biggest mines, and some of the first stakes were planted on these hills, there is still lots of territory that has not been examined and only this week reports of two new discoveries with good prospects have been reported from that neighborhood. Special attention will also be directed to Rocher de Boule where every claim now staked is proving itself valuable, to the Babine range, the Hudson Bay Mountain where some of the biggest pro- properties are located, and also up the Skeena river. All this country and many miles more, are directly tributary to Hazelton, the fact that hundreds of W. J. Larkworthy General mercnant Complete line of merchandise always on hand.

Wm. Jasper is in charge of the drive and on Tuesday he took the cattle over to Mission Point where they are being slaughtered. Mr. Jasper says that P. Burns & Co. will make a shipment of cattle into the district every week now until they can get here overland. The cattle arrived none too soon as many people in town are out of meat and most of the camps are likewise. Had there been a full force working in the camps the condition would have been worse. There is also an increasing demand for meat from the several mines that are employing big gangs. In future, however, there will be no scarcity of meat.

Cowan has arrived in Salk Lake City and on Monday morning Harvey & McKinnon received a wire from him stating that the samples taken by him from the bottom of the shaft on the upper lead of Rocher de Boule run 19 per cent copper, $3.50 in gold and silver. These assays were made in the company's own assay office and the samples were an average of the ore in the shaft at a depth of 50 ft. A piece of ore which was brought here from the shaft was assayed by Stewart Martin, more to get the gold and silver values,as these two metals seemed to be more prominent in this sample than in others. Martin's assay was: 14.1 in copper, $6.40 in gold and $7.19 in silver. The total value is $58.71. Martin's assay from the lower tunnel gives 18.7 per cent in lead, 201.8 oz. of silver and $2.40 in gold, with a total value of $145.35 These assays are very gratifying to the management and to the shareholders and with a continuation of the ore and these values there will be big money made out of Rocher de Boulo.

In the shaft they have 10 inches of high grade ore and the vein remains about the same at eighteen inches. Grey Copper on Silver Cup Supt. Sandborn got down from Silver Cup mine on Tuesday last and brought down with him some of the new ore which he has struck on the Duke Vein. The tunnel which he has been driving all winter is in 132 feet, and ( the several little ore bodies he' went through turned out to be a series of small falts caused by the rock falling over and the space being filled in with new new quartz. At the hundred-foot point in the tunnel he sunk a winze to a depth of seven feet and here he struck what he now claims is the real pay streak of the vein. The samples he brought down were taken from this streak and they are indeed very rich. The chief mineral is grey copper and he claims that the ore is at ! least one-half grey copper. A : sample will be sent to the assayer i as soon as it can be got there. 1 On Nine Mile mountain, in the who are prospecting around six : mile, were in town a couple of, days last week and reported having found a good lead. They purchased more supplies and a quantity of steel and powder and left on Sunday again for their property where they will do considerable work. They are confident that they have got something worth while. Geo. Poole, a printer prospector, has located a prospect on the south slope of Nine Mile mountain between six and seven miles. He came to town on Saturday for more supplies and brought some samples in with him. Those]who saw the ore state that it is very promising looking stuff. The prospecting season is now on and it has started off with a vim that gives promise of a very bustling season. Every train that comes from the south brings more prospectors and these men are starting out for the hills, at first devoting attention to Four and Nine Mile mountains and then out to the Babine range. All this territory is highly mineralized and as fast as the snow disappears from the higher hills the prospectors will spread out. There is country enough for thousands of prospectors and ft 1 ���' ili^Mm y* -rf���' ' ��� ���_ ff^ff^f:-Bjpr .-. ,.

It is on this Vein the 700 ft. drift is now being driven. SHORT CROSS CUT REACHED VEIN Same Ore, Same Walls and Same Values found 600 ft. from Shaft at 125 ft. Depth on Rocher de Boule The short cross cut tunnel on Rocher de Boule cut the upper vein at 600 feet from the shaft and at a depth, which will average 125 feet for the full distance. This cross cut was startec where the cliff breaks off and the vein was found to be the same as in the bottom of the shaft, solid chalcopyrite with perfectly formed walls on both sides. Thus the expectations of the management have been fully realized and now the miners are working several shifts on the drift along this vein. J. Asher Cowan arrived in town on Wednesday and brought the good news with him. He states that the plans as laid out by his father some two weeks ago will be followed closely and the work on the drift rushed along until they reach the shaft. This will give them ore all blocked out for a distance of 600 feet, with an average depth of 125 feet. The new ore is the same character as . the shaft and the value of the ore which will be ready to be taken out and shipped will be a million and a half dollars. The additional value of the work now going on is that all the time the mine is being opened up it is paying a profit as the miners are taking out valuable shipping ore with every shot fired. When the tunnel or drift is completed there will be a fine bunch or ore ready for the smelter and this will be used for one of the first shipments to be use the fall. Sold Her Coal Lands Mrs. H. P. Jones has successfully closed a deal for her coal lands of sixteen sections on Drift wood creek which she has been holding for the past two years, the first payment was made on Tuesday. Her husband leaves for Vancouver on the Inlander. Ship Ore June First The managers of the Harris mines announced on Monday that they were preparing to make the first shipment of ore from their property to the smelter on or about the first of June. This shipment will consist of 60 tons, or two car loads, and there will be no ore sent out that will not run at least one hundred dollars to the ton. The ore is being sacked now and it will be brought from the mine down to the sawmill on pack horses and loaded into wagons to be delivered to the boat at Hazelton. The boat will take it down to the end of steel and from there it goes to Rupert and on down to Trail via Vancouver. The Harris mine is now looking better than ever it did and the management are greatly pleased with the progress that is being made. The shaft on the No. 3 vein is down to the 136 ft. mark and they are making two feet a day. In about another week they will start drifting on the vein. On Sunday Duke Harris brought down a sack of ore and placed it in the office of Rosenthal, Harris vicinity of the vicinity of the Cup property pfoperty it is still winter and during April they had 25 days of snow. The supplies in the camp are running low and to get new grub in would take too much time, so it is proposed to wait for a couple of weeks when the snow will have started to disappear. Then some of the directors of the company will visit the property and decide upon the operations for the coming summer. Mr. Sandborn suggests that the winze he has started on the Duke vein be continued to a depth of about 50 feet and if the ore continues as he expects to drive a new tunnel which will hit the ore at 175 ft. and give considerable depth. He is very enthusiastic about the Duke and claims that it will turn out to be one of the 1 big things of the camp. The ore he brought down compare very favorably with the best that has been secured on any property and if the stuff can be hit right the Cup will come to the fore with a bound. this years work on the part of the hardy sons of the steel pick will show up the Hazelton district as it never has been before.

Wharf THE OMINECA HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1912 POULTRY DEPARTMENT The Quality of Poultry Determines the Price These are the days of "Bargain Sales" in all sorts of merchandise, and despite the fact that everybody discounts to a large extent the extravagant claims as to the wonderful bargains offered, there are thousands of people who flock to these sales hoping to get a dollar's worth of goods for fifty-nine cents, forgetting the fundamental principal of business that no one can afford to sell goods without getting a reasonable profit. So largely has the desire tc get something for less than its real value taken possession of people, that they fall easy victims to the unscrupulous dealers who offer them specious inducements to buy at what they call greatly reduced prices. This same state of mind makes it difficult for the reputable dealer to secure customers for his standard goods at regular prices. Many such people, when they think of buying stock or eggs to make a start in the poultry business, start out on a hunt for bargain sales, and when they find that one breeder asks from $5 to $25 for birds of a certain breed, and another offers the same breed for $1 or $2, it does not take them long to decide to buy of the man who offers them for the lower prices. They do not seem to understand that there is any difference except in the price; but there is a difference, the same as there is in the clothing business. One merchant advertises men's suits for from $10 to $50. Another says���"Why pay so much? I will sell you the best suit in my stock for $25." Yes, but who, in his right mind, would expect to get as good a suit for $25 as he would for $50? And why not use the same common sense in buying breeding stock and eggs for hatching? The quality will determine the price, in most instances, and any reputable dealer will give you full value for your money, no matter what you send. So when you have selected the party of whom you would like to buy, and he has given you his scale of prices, with some outline of what will be furnished, write him as fully as possible as to your exact needs, and send such a sum of money as you can afford, and ask him to send you the best outfit for the purpose desired for the money sent, and nine times I out of ten you will get fair treat- ! ment, and the birds sent will be i fully worth the price. Just one other suggest ion as to the advisability of purchasing the best stock possible. Suppose you buy a breeding pen of one male and four females, and pay $10 for the lot. If you should raise 100 chickens during the year, they would not bring you more than $100 at the best. But if you bought a pen for $75, and should raise 100 chicks, they would easily bring $250, leaving you $175 as compared with $90 | in the other instant, and the longer you continue breeding, the greater the difference will be. And after a year or two, when your stock becomes known, you will be able to get still better prices which will greatly increase your profits. Whereas if you bought the cheap birds, the second year would be no better than the first, and no prospects for all the years to come. So bear in mind that if you expect to get good stock, you must pay a fair price, and that the better the stock you get in the beginning, the greater the profits and the more rapidly they will increase from year to year. Prince Rupert Ball Club The Prince Rupert sports have completed the organization of a baseball club and they will be ready soon to meet Hazelton. One of the features of this season's games will be the appearance of the coast boys in a real country where there is real ground to play on. Such men as Toby, Billy Wright and Gibbons will always be welcome in the old town, and these are not the only players Rupert is supposed to have hid away. The Archery Club Plenty of Money Davis and Square Deal O'Neil are behind a movement to organize an Archery Club for Hazelton. The sport is one of the oldest and is associated with some of the greatest stories of romance the world has ever known, and there is no doubt but that it will find favor with the fiction loving sports in this historic and romantic town.

March 10, 1910 James Ainslie Wylie ap!5 Frank Treanor, agent School Inspector J. T. Pollock, provincial school inspector, is now doing the schools on the coast, and will then go up the Naas and around via Hazelton before he returns to headquarters. E. A. McMaster, general agent for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, Prince Rupert, was in town on Monday in the interests of his company. Mr. McMaster is well known by many Hazelton people and they were all glad to see him around. He announced that they were daily expecting to receive authority from the Railway Commissioners to run a regular passenger and freight service between Prince Rupert and the bridge at Skeena Crossing. He states that there is a great deal of freight waiting in Rupert for this district and that hundreds of people are anxious to get up as soon as they can get a train to the bridge. The road between VanArsdol and the present end of steel is in pretty good shape and it is being improved all the time. Referring of Prince Rupert Mr. McMaster spoke in glowing- terms. The town is lively now and the heavy work being started there by his company is employing a large force of men and this force will be greatly increased as the work gets underway. The The Prince Rupert Inn has been moved across the street and is now facing the waterfront. The test piles for the immense two million dollar dry dock have been driven and the contractor with his outfit is on the job and will start work as soon as the terminals in that vicinity are down to grade. The dry dock is being constructed at the mouth of Hay's creek. The contractors have started work on the widening of the terminals where the hotel formerly stood, the freight sheds and offices have been moved and the whole appearance to the water front has been greatly altered. All the offices have been moved up Centre street to the old Kelly-Carruthers building. The steam boat department has also undergone a thorough over-hauling and the Prince Rupert starts from Seattle on May lst on her first trip with the oil-burners. More will be told about the steamers in a later issue. Mr. McMaster was one of a party of G. T. P. men which included Pat Welch and Gen. Supt. Mehan who only came as far as the bridge, Chief Engineer Kelliher who went out to the end of the work at Burns Lake and Engineer VanArsdale. Mr. McMaster returned to Prince Rupert on Wednesday. BIG EXCURSION VICTORIA DAY Sourdough Returned Sourdough McKay returned last week from his trip to the Groundhog. He was out for the provincial government cutting out a trail for this years traffic. In a short time more men will be sent in to build the trail. This will not be of much service this year but it will help a whole lot next season's work which will be a great deal heavier than even this year. The Boys Will Try to Arrange For One of the Boats to Go to Terrace With the Ball Team and Athletes Arrangements are now on foot among the sporting men of the town for a general excursion to Terrace on May 24th. The local ball team will go down to play Prince Rupert and as the coast city are running a special train to Terrace, and intend making the occasion one of the greatest athletic events held in the north, it is desirable that Hazelton and district people should be given an oportunity to take part in the events or to be spectators. Besides the ball games there will be foot racing and many other athletic sports, in all of which this district could be well represented. At Terrace they have splendid grounds for sports and as the trip could be made from Hazelton leaving Saturday afternoon and returning Tuesday there would be a big crowd take it in. The only difficulty will be transportation, but an effort will be made to have one of the steamers carry the excursionists as it will not be possible to run a special train from the bridge on account of the special from Rupert which has already been chartered. Fuller particulars will be announced as arrangements are completed. O.K. Restaurant, Chop- SUEY HOUSE AND BAKERY Open Day and Night Near McEwen's Store SEALEY B.C.
