Rodgers of the Nickel Plate Co. is reported to have purchased a J>ioo,ooc electric plant from the Wcstinghouse people of Seattle, which will be installed near Hedley on the Similkameen ri It will furnish power for the stamp mill and will probably also supply light for Hedley Citv. Amending Assessment Act. A. L. Belyea, Secretary of the Provincial Mining Association, is sending the following letter to branch throughout the province : " The Executive Committee wish that the utmost publicity be given to the following extracts from the act just passed amending the " Assessment Act.' erence is made to the date (June 30th) when time for filing affidavits of work expires, and to the provisions for exemption from taxation where work is done upon one or more of a group. "Assessment Act Amendment Act, 1903."—" Section 6 (amending old 19.)—Provided, however, that if the owner of any such claim shall establish, to the satisfaction of the assessor, that the sum of two hundred dollars has been pended upou such claim in mining development work during the y ceding the date when the tax becomes payable, then the tax shall not be levied in respect thereof; and in order to entitle the owner to benefit by this provision he must produce to the assessor a detailed statement showing the nature of the work performed and the amount expend ed upon said claim, duly sworn to as true and correct, before the assessor tice of the peace, and this statement must be filed with the assessor on or before the said 30th day of June in each and year in which he claims exemption from " Provided further, that any owner of adjoining crown granted mineral or placer claims not exceeding eight in number of such claims, shall be allowed to perform in mining development work during the year preceding the date when the tax becomes payable, upon any one or more of such adjoining claims the full value,at the rate of two hundred dollars per claim, to entitle all of such claims to exemption in lien of the tax, but subject however, to said owner producing to the assessor a detailed statement showing the nature of the work performed and the amount expended, duly sworn to as correct and true before the assessor or a justice of the peace, which statement shall be filed with the assessor on or .before the said 30th day of jpne in each and every F. W. Groves, P.L.S., returned early in the week from surveying the June Bug mineral claim on Copper mountain for Snowden Bros. • If M'BRIDE PREMIER House Prorogued—Dissolution Will Follow—Martin Resigns Leadership. The charges brought against Col. Prior by Smith Curtis, member for Rossland, in regard to the Chimney creek bridge contract resulted in the dismissal of the first minister by the Lieut.-Governor, who called upon Richard McBride, member for Dewdney and leader of the Opposition in the legislature, to form a gov- Contrary to the expectations of many the new premier selected a Conservative ministry throughout, consisting of Hon, R. G. Tatlow, minister of finance and agriculture; Hon. R. F. Green, minister of mines ; Hon. A. E. McPhillips, attorney-general and Hon. Chas. Wilson, president of the council. The premier retains for himself the portfolio of lands and works. The post of provincial secretary has not yet been filled. The legislature prorogued on Friday, June 5th, and a dissolution is expected shortly. It will take several weeks to prepare voters' lists, so that an election need hardl3' be expected before Septei ber next. When it comes, it will be held to a great extent on party lines. With the particulars of the formation' of the McBride government comes also the news of Joseph Martin's resignation from the leadership of the Liberal party in British Columbia, his object for sc doing being to unite the Liberal party ir the province—a condition felt to be impossible so long as he retained the position of leader. Before the house prorogued the estimates were passed. No Use For Robertson. The following letter, received by the secretary of the Princeton branch of the Provincial Mining Association, from the secretary of the Nicola Valley branch, relates to the resolutions regarding the provincial mineralogist and the appointment of mine inspectors which were passed by the Princeton association a short time ago: " G. E. Winkler, Esq., Princeton, B.C. Dear Sir,—In reply to yours of the 13th inst., I beg to state that your resolutions s brought before a meeting of this branch of the P.M.A. held at Lower Nicola last evening. The one sponsored by yourself was unanimously endorsed, while Mr. Knight's was laid over until ie next meeting, the opinion of the eeting being that it was asking rather o mnch from the government. Yours very truly, H. S. Cmusby." Coutlee, B.C., May 27,1903. GREAT NORTHERN Manifests Anxiety for Passage of Expropriation Bill. Alex. F. MacDonald, railway contractor of Grand Forks, came in late last week and is a guest at the Hotel Prince- Mr. MacDonald states that the reason for the vexatious delay in building the Great Northern spurs into Phoenix and the Granby smelter has been occasioned by the refusal of a number of property owners to sell the railway company right of way across their gi ound. The company is building these spurs without a charter and is therefore cc pelled to purchase its right-of-way advance. In most province.', a railway company is allowed to cross property and settle afterwards for such damage as may be done, but it appears that in B.C. such a law does not exist. In order to remedy this defect, which allows a rival < pany to block the building of a indefinitely if it be so disposed. Smith Curtis brought in a measure calculated permit the building of lines the same in other provinces. This bill has passed its first and second readings, but the dissolution of the legislature will prevent it becoming law for some time. Bon Garcon. Mr. Ernest Waterman, resident 1 ager for the Vermilion Forks Mining and Development Co. is receiving a downpour of congratulations from many friends on the arrival of a ten-pound baby boy on Monday the 8th inst. Mother and child are both getting on nicely and th< is a rich pay chute of joy in the house Liberal Convention. The Liberals of Keremeos issued a call for a convention to be held at that place on June 26th to select a candidate to contest this riding in the Liberal interest. Owing to the fact that the Fairview Liberals desire the convention to be held at Fairview something of a deadlock seems threatened. No doubt an agreement will shortly be arrived at and a convention held at some place agreed upon by all. The water has been higher this sej than for some years, the warm weather of the past few days having melted the 7 in the Hope range very rapidly. Both the Similkameen and Tulameen :s threatened to become dangerous jre now subsiding slightly, having apparently reached their highest point this year. A resolution was brought before the Vancouver city council asking the Do- on government to grant a subsidy to the Coast-Kootenay line. The resolution pointed out the great benefit such a railway would be to Vancouver in giving it direct communication with the great mining districts of Similkameen, Boundary Creek and Kootenay. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Brief Local News Items and Personal Mention of People Here and There. Jas. Hislop, P.L.S., was out Sunday to Al. Johnston's Five-Mile ranch laying out an irrigation ditch. The thermometer reached its high mark for the week on Wednesday last, registering 95 ° in the shade. The mean temperature was 86 ° and the 40.42 °. The sitting of the county court has been postponed to Monday, June 15th. Gus Pouwels and Gus Spearing killed two large cinnamon bears on Monday last, one on Kennedy mountain and the other on the Stevenson meadows. T. W. Wirth has taken the place of J. Roadhouse on the Welby stage running between here and Hedley, Mr. Roadhouse being required at Penticton. A number of cattle are reported to have been killed by eating a poisonous weed on the range south of the Similka- Wv S. Wilson of Hedley City paid Princeton a visit this week. John McFarlane of this place is in receipt of a letter from the collector in charge of the ore exhibit at the Spokane fair, who expresses a desire to have a fresh collection of ores from the Similkameen for this year's exhibition. The Princeton branch'o the Provincial Mining Association will hold its next meeting on Thursday evening June 18th at 8 p.m. in the dining room ot the Tula- The Vancouver Boaid of Trade passed a resolution at a recent meeting endorsing the granting of a subsidy to the Coast-Kootenay line by the Dominion government. Angus K. Stuart, writing to A. E. Howse of Nicola Lake, urges that a good exhibit of mineral specimens should be sent to the St. Louis Exposition and points out the value of such an exhibit from an advertising standpoint. The Nicola and Aspen Grove claim owners have already got together an excellent collection, but as yet nothing has been this end of the district. Prospectors can leave specimens at the Star oflice, where they will be cared for and forwarded. Constitution and International. Messrs. Pouwels and Spearing left early the week to do assessment work on the Constitution and International group in Boulder creek camp. This group is the property of A. Klockman of Spokane. A lead running 9 per cent, in copper and carrying a little gold and silver, has been exposed in former assessments by open-cutting. THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR ' The Similkameen Star — Princeton, B.C.

Examples of the power of the monied interests to influence our judiciary have been furnished re- . cently in the report of Judge Walkem on the evidence given before the Royal Commission — appointed through the instrumentality of| Smith Curtis to enquire into Duns muir's connection with the proposed Canada Northern grant—and the position of Chief Justice Hunter in the inquiry into the causes of the strike of Dunsmuir's coal miners on Vancouver island. In the first mentioned case Walkem decided there was no truth in the claim that Dunsmuir and his government were giving an excessive subsidy to the Canada Northern in order to enhance the value of the E. & N. railway, (Dunsmuir's pro perty) for the reason, mark you, that the land grant was practically worth nothing, not even ten cents per acre. The same specious sophistry was used when the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. was built through the Northwest and as a result an empire of 25 million acres ol land was alienated from the people and has since served to make millionaires of j a number of C.P.R. stockholders Walkem knows as well as an} reader of this paper that the mineral and agricultural wealth of this Province are dependant on our sys- , terns of transportation and that lacking facilities for shipment our , resources are valueless. This is as true of northern B.C. today as it was of Manitoba and the Northwest before railway lines developed it, and the Canada Northern Co. in asking for 20,000 acres of land perl mile were bargaining for something of great prospective value. A very slight consideration of his argument makes it plain that Walkem was appointed for the sole purpose of whitewashing the conspirators who attempted to foist the reprehensible Canada Northern bargain on the country. This may be a good thing for Dunsmuir and his lately discredited colleagues, but it leaves a nauseating taste in the mouth of honest people who have been taught in the past to look upon our judiciary as incorruptible and above reproach. The evidence in the matter of the strike showing still further the bias of our judges and their willingness to serve the ends of capitalistic greed, occurred in the examination of a miner named Barnes who testified that the men had had no confidence in Dunsmuir's agreements unless there was a strong union to compel him to live up to them, and that the miners would not seriously consider any proposal for a settlement of the strike, which insisted on the surrender of the union. He was replied to by Chief Justice Hunter in the following words : 11 can tell you what will happen if you don't settle. Mr. Dunsmuir ill employ non-union labor, and where will you be then." One would think from reading such an answer that instead of being I a member of an impartial commit- | tee of inquiry the Chief Justice was the hired agent of the Dunsmuir interests, engaged for the purpose of trying to force the men to make terms favorable to the millionaire coal mine owner. EDITORIAL NOTES. The annual report of the Minister of Mines for tne year ending December 31st, 1902, is just out. About one half of a page is devoted to the Similkameen mining division in which the reader is referred back to the report of 1901 no less than four times. The impression is conveyed that the Provincial Mineralogist would gladly have left us out entirely, if possible. This course would be much preferable to the misleading report of the district published last year.

If it is good policy for a business man to keep his wares before the puolic eye it should be good policy for the Province to supply the world with up-to-date information regarding the discovery and development of its mineral resources, and not be giving news a year old, as is the case in the report of the Minister of Mines. The Mining Associa tion very correctly called the atten tion of the government to this matter and asked for the issuance of quarterly reports.

THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR SCIENTIFIC MARVEL Photographing by Light Emanating From Human Body. The scientific world' stands amazed at the discovery made by Prof. Arthur W. Goodspeed, of the Randall Morgan Laboratory of Physics of the University of Pennsylvania, that photographs ca made from light emanating from the human body. Prof. Goodspeed, who has long been recognized for his important researches in the realms of the light ray, and who: president of the American X-Ray Society, has proven the existence of a hitherto unknown ray, thrown out by human beings, by means of which pictures can be taken in five minutes, which is one- sixth of the time required for the production of a radiograph by means of the j X-ray. The news of Prof. Goodspeed's achievement has spread throughout the length and breadth of the land, and he is being deluged by letters from scientists from all r the o fntry. The indisputable proof of Prof. Good- speed's remarkable discovery exists in a photograph of a human hand taken by means of the emanations of light from the other hand. Hereis Prof. Goodspeed's explanation of the amazing phenomena revealed by his discovery.

THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR June 13, 1903- SHAUGHNESSY'S Statement as to Non-Paying Lines Questioned by Phoenix Pioneer. The following . question was p pounded to Sir Thomas Shaughnessy president of the C.P.R., recently at Van "When does the C.P.R. intend to com plete the construction of the Columbia & Western road from Midway to Pen Here is the answer that he is reported to have made to this specific query: "Just as soon as the company commences to secure some returns from the lines already in operation. The company will not build another mile of new roac in the province of British Columbia and those already built are paying. Our lines constructed into the mining districts have proved very, very disappoint ing." Surely the astute president of the C.P R. must have been misquoted in some way. The question referred directly to the extension of the present line into the Boundary, and the answer must have been along that line also, it is reasonable to presume. If Sir Thomas was properly quoted, he has laid himself open to the severest criticism, as follows : In the yearOcgoi the C.P.RTfreceived from one company alone in the Boundary —the Granby ' Consolidated—the neat little sum of $368,000 for freights only These figures were made public over a year ago and have never been questioned The Boundary railway, something like 125 miles with its spurs, is said to have Cost in round numbers $4,000,000. It was bonded for $35,000^ per mile, and receivec a rich subsidy from, the government be- Let us delve into figures a little, and see how the C.P.R, president's re statement tallies with the facts. One' 'mining company alone paid over $1 per day freight, Sundays included, to the C.P.R. in 1901. That sum would pay interest on the cost of construction of the Boundary railway for that year at th<' rate of five per cent, and allow enougt over to pay for the cost of the rolling stock. Then there are other sources o income to be considered, that from the other large and small mining companies general freight and passenger service express, telegraph and mail services, etc" If Mr. Shaughnessy expects any one to believe such statements he will be wise to quote some figures to bolster them up for in the light of these figures, here given', the Boundary railway has doubtedly been one of the best paying pieces of road controlled by the C.P.R. Come again Mr. Shaughnessy, and give your real reason for not building beyond Midway. It surely is not because th< Boundary branch is such a poor payinj piece of railway.—Phoenix Pioneer.

In parliament and in the legislatures of the provinces the little man is the danger point. He is the vulnerable spot. He may not be dishonest, indeed his loudest boast may be that he cannot be bribed, but because of the weakness of . his character or the narrowness of his ' views he readily becomes the tool of the wily schemer or the plausible corporation. When he is corrupt as well as weak he is doubly dangerous. And so every good interest of the country needs to be saved from the tampering of little men. Some men seem to have been designed after a little plan. Their circumstances were favorable, education and travel and unusual conditions of culture were theirs, but they have no outlook, no enthusiasm, no ideals. Indeed, one of the marks of the little man is his fine contempt for those who see visions and dream dreams. He calls himself a practical man, one who deals with facts and not with fancies. His mind moves smoothly in an ordered area of things as they are, and never once does he ' ' "Yearn beyond the skyline Where the strange roads go down." The possibilities of an' undeveloped country or the significance of a world project are nothing to him, because he has no eye for the things that are not. Canada's greatest need today, in Parliament and out of it, i£ imaginative statesmanship, and for this reason we should beware of little men. Many men who were potentially great have become actually small b> the limi tations, often self-imposed, of their life. They devote themselves to their trade, business, or profession so selfishly or sordidly that • many of their faculties suffer atrophy; Over too many men 1 epitaph, mutatis mutandis, might be inscribed : "Born a man, died a grocer." A man is saved from littleness by cherishing great ideas, and keeping himself alive to human interest, and devoting himself to unselfish service. It is the mind that makes the man, and whatsoever sets free the intellectual faculties, and stimulates the higher emotions, and awakens the nobler ideals, and strengthens the truer impulses, and quickens the deeper sympathies makes greatness possible for man. And the surest safeguard against little men is in the men who are great-minded, wide visioned, and strong. -Toronto Globe. New Cure for Consumption. What is claimed by its inventor as an itirely new remedial treatment for con- imption is attracting the attention of ng specialists and the medical profes- Dn generally. It consists of the inhalation of a vapor produced by heating a of eucalyptus oil, sulphur, and charcoal, and it is stated that it is more effective than any serum or other remedy hitherto tried. Rebert Schueider, a druggist of Berlin, conceived the idea while travelling in parts of Australia where the eucalyptus tree grows luxuriantly. Consumption is practically unknown among the inhabitants of these districts, and sufferers from the disease who go there speedily im- Herr Schneider, upon returning to Ber- a, communicated his idea to Prof. Som- erfield, a physician' of repute, who experimented in several hospitals for six months. As a result, sixty out of a hundred patients treated by him were completely cured. The inhalation of the vapor kills the bacilli. In some ca; the -patients were kept in an atmosphi impregnated "with the fumes night and day until they shewed signs of relief. Dr. Sommerfield will read a paj on the subjecf before the Berlin Medical Society at the end of April, asserting that the new curative agent, which advance in the treatment of tuberculosis.
