Yates, a Spokane mining and insurance man visited the camp a few days ago. While here he took an option on several 'promising claims, among them Morning Star, owned by the Jamieson boys. He also secured an agency for the Hedley townsite, and on his way back to Spokane sold six lots in Oro, nine in Loomis and a number in Spokane. A number of lots have also been sold quite recently, on the coast, by C. E. Oliver. Rennie & Bell had an ice house built on their lot on Bridge street this week. Work on one of Cook & Co.'s new buildings was started "this week. R. O. Hawtry of Hedley and Mr. Hair of Fairview were doing business in town yesterday. Wm. Simpson arrived in town today from Faulkland where he has been spending the winter. Robt. Stevenson has returned from the coast, where he has been for a number of weeks, to look after his mining interests. J. H.Jackson and Jas. Murchison returned Thursday from Otter Valley, where Mr. Jackson is having a house put up on his recently located pre-emption. BOND TO BE PAID UP SHORTLY VALUABLE PEOPEETY AT 20- MILE TO THE FBONT. A Mr. Patrick, Representing Eastern Capitalists Visits the Camp—First Payment Nearly Dne. The indications are that the bond 01 the claims at Twenty-Mile, mentioned ii last week's Slui will be paid up shortly when the payment becomes due. A responsible party from that camp, in conversation with a Star representative, stated that prospects for the camp were beginning to look very bright, and that indications pointed to a busy season A Mr. Patrick had arrived at the c a few days ago, on behalf of the eas parties who have an option on the Rolla and Kingston group, owned by Pete Scott and others. As the option had about run out, Mr. Patrick tame i look over the property and to decide whether it would be advisable to take up the bond. As the value of the claims so well-known it is hardly possible that a reverse decision will be given, reported, however, that Mr. Patrick has made the statement to the effect that 1 if the parties whom he now represents did not care to take up the bond, he knew of an other party, whom he almost positive would be willing to take up the bond as it now stood. However, if the property proved to be anywhere near its reported value, he had no hesitancy in making the statement that the payment about due would be paid by the present holders, as the money was in the bank waiting for his decision. A PRINCETONITE TALKS. Tells Gait, Ont. People About Princeton and the Similkameen. "Yes, I was a pioneer of Rossland, bul I am now at Princeton, near Coppe: Mountain. T^"•"ir-pffd thn first; map of Trail Creek miping eamp—that's at Ross- laritP^but it was out of date in three months, so rapidly do things develop and change in the west. By the way, I believe that a citizen of yours, Robert Scott, was Rossland's first Mayor." The speaker was James Hislop, civil, railway and mining engineer^who spent the day with Dr. Moyer. He is visiting his home at Strasburg, but returns in a few weeks to' the gold fields of British imbia. A brother of his is at Skag- way engaged at the same work. "Now, Mr. Hislop," said the reporter, "I want you to tell me something, and I want it divested of all politics. What is British Columbia's attitude toward railways. You may have noticed that W. F. McLean, the Tory M». P., told Parliament that the Province didn't want them." "Don't wan't them, eh! Why, what; nonsense, Railroads are what we do want, and the Government can't give them too quickly to suit us. We have the ore, and we are getting it out, but we need transportation. » Rossland is-;, busier than ever. The Yale districtas yielding immense quantities of ore, and' twenty miles from Princeton is the richest mine in British Columbia, one of the best in the world. What do I think of-" British Columbia's prospects ? I can give but one answer. They are great. We have wealth in the ground 'tis true, but it will come out. We could use more capital than we have, but it is coming; our way. What are the industries ? Mining principally, but grazing is possible, and a good deal is done. Any farming? Not .much, it's more of a mineral, than an agricultural country you know ? Are we standing still in population ? No, . we are not. There's a steady influx from the east, and the time will come when British Columbia will be as large, num- erably, as Ontario. Do you agree with Horace Greeley when he said, 'Go West, young man.' I most emphatically do, for didn't I take his advice myself," Mr. - Hislop laughed, "and I would do it. The talk became general, then reverted to Mr. Hislop's new home. "Is the climate healthful?" he was "Healthy!" he replied, "why it is so • healthful that our physician is allowed a grant of £300 a year by the Provincial- Government to exe out the income from his practice and enable him to live ; and he is a good doctor, too, and there isnt- another within sixty miles. One of our residents was told by the doctors five years ago, while living in another place, that he would certainly die of consumption within six months, but he came to Princeton instead, and is living yet and likely to keep on living. We have no cemetery at all at Princeton. No, I wouldn't advise Gait doctors to emigrate. Better stay here. British Columbia is a bonanza, but not for medicos. We are two monotonously robust. Our physician gets #5 a visit, and isn't a Midas at that. Now, a dentist toured the territory last year. He filled our teeth with gold, and we his pockets. But, I think his was the better bargain."—Reformer. A Pleasant Time. A most enjoyable event occurred at the Princeton hotel on last Saturday. A large number of citizens gathered there in response to an invitation from Landlord Wallace. The evening was given up to dancing and ajjerieral good time. Rev.

There may be extraordinarily rich ground stuck at any moment, but the claims already staked and being developed 1 returning good, substantial profits, profits are estimated in this country.

PRINCETON, BRITISH COLUMBIA. MARCH 2nd, 1901. EDITORIAL The agitation for the building of the Coast Kootenay Railway is growing stronger every day. An influential delegation of Fraser river valley farmers were in Victoria last week with the object of impressing the government with the immediate necessity of building the line. A great effort should be put forth by the peo pie living in the Similkameen, Nicola and Kere meos valleys to bring prominently before the government the resources of their districts and every means possible should be used to urge the different members of the house to use their influence and support toward the granting of a substantial subsidy to the Coast-Kootenay railroad. Let stringent building conditions be imposed and thus put a stop to the trading in railroad charbifl§»which has been one of the principal drawbacks in charters granted before. The country demands the construction of the road, let the government see to it that it be built on lines whereby it will benefit the people. And above all let there be no necessary delay, Vic torians are strongly in favor of regranting the old subsidy and the settlers in the Fraser river valley are also supporting the scheme. The delegation now in the capital city is working strenuously in support of a railroad through the Fraser valley to the Kootenay. The Victoria Colonist of the 19th inst. has the following to say on the subject: Jt is unfortunate that circumstances prevented the majority ofthe members ofthe City Council from being present last evening at the time appointed for the conference with the representatives of the Fraser valley farmers, and that consequently nothing was done in the way of endorsing the effort which these gentlemen are making to bring about the immediate construction ofthe railway from the Coast to Kootenay. We can safely say, however, that this ought not to be taken as indicative of any apathy on the part of the people of this city towards this important project. They have three times expressed themselves upon it at the polls. At the by-election in 1899 one of the chief questions submitted to them was the repudiation by the Semlin government of the contract for the building of the V. V. & E. railway, and the same was the case at the last general election. On both occasions they declared in favor of the men, who had pledged the province to the construction of the railway and endeavored to bring it about. The extraordinary vote for the j ferry by-law a few months ago, was largely due to the fact that the people believed the ferry would form a part of a line from this city to tbe Kootenay. The City Council, the Board of Trade and more than one public meeting have declared for the railway, and if anything is evi denced on the part of the Alderman, which looks like indifference, it may be explained by the fact that the city is committed up to the hilt in favor of such a railway. • • • Now that the Legislative Assembly is again in session it would be well for some member to bring in an act to enforce the present game laws in British Columbia. The provisions of the present act may be all right, but the lack of en forcement is a weak spot. At a meeting re cently held in Vernon, B. C, ofthe local Game Protective Association, several useful amend ments to the present laws were brought forward and endorsed. We notice the adequatd protec tion of Big Horn in the Ashnola districts was not discussed, notwithstanding the fact that the home of the Mountain sheep is in the district of East Yale. Mr. Price Ellison M.L.A. as representing the greatest hunting and game section ofthe province should certainly be the representee to bring forward a bill to make the necessary amendments. Regarding Big Horn al lovers of the sport will be glad to read the letter printed in another column of this issue from Mr. G. Shields, editor of Recreation, who has done much- towards the proper preserving of game throughout the United States and Canada. • • • The Nelson Tribune in its endeavor to instil, the loveof C.P.R. into the hearts of tbe people ofl Southern British Columbia would like to lead them to the conclusion that because coal is being shipped to the otherside of the line, the country, and incidentally the C. P. R., is doomed to ruin if something is not done to avert it According to our own light it is the best thing that could have happened. For the last fifteen years large tracts of coal land have been known to exist in the Similkameen, and it only needecl a similar reminder to what the Kettle River railroad scheme gave the C. P. R. in the Boundary to have them acknowledge the fact. We heartily voice the sentiment of the Victoria Times when it says: "It seems to us that now would be an opportune time for the people of British Columbia to acquaint the legislators at Ottawa with their sentiments on this particularly interesting subject. We want development all along the line, and we want it particularlg when it is not to cost us a cent to set it going. We want to be treated as other provinces have been treated in which large sums have be granted by the government to connect them with their southern neighbors by means of expensive bridges. It is time to ignore canting appeals to the patriotism and to pick up business wherever we may find it, as they do in Great Britain and in the United States and wherever a business man i j to be found. • • • The project of a fall exhibition in the capital city has now begun to assume definite form, and what is required to make it a success is persistent energetic work and determination not only on the part of the Agricultural Association but ofthe citizens generally. Unceasing vigilance and determined effort must be now be put forward, that the exposition may be one worthj* of the city and province.—Province. business km pwftsxrtwii am W. J.
