Important Mining Deal Indicates future Of District Rests on Solid foundation. 17 I\*a»K) Vol. XII. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Jl, 1911. -tfw- No. 41. RECORD MINING DEAL Voigt Gamp Sold to the B. C. Copper Co. for Sum in Seven Figures. Big Development Work in Hand and Constuction Mark New Era in Mining. __ With the ren_nt conclusion of the deal which finally*disposes of Voigt/Camp, owned and developed by EmiKH. Voigt, M.E , and associates, the largest/transaction in an ore proposition that has ever taken place in British Columbia has pass ed into history The magnitude of the deal may be inferred, including, as it does, some 63 or 64 mineral claims, besides 2-ono acres of land. timbered and grazing, and also available in portions for smelter sites, etc. B.C. Copper Co. Bays Camp. The purchasing party to the Voigt camp deal is one of the largest and best known mining and smelting companies in the west—the B. C. Copper Co. The head office of this company is in New Yurk, Newman Erb, president; RjOZIEggles ton, secT-treas. ; E G. Warren, manager atid superintendent of works. The company is capitalized at $3,000,000, and last year had a favorable profit and loss bal ance of #256.561. and cash $107,095 The smelter is sittrSTed at Greenwood, about 135 miles from Princeton by rail, aud the company ownsandoperaites about a dozen miu_sjnJB___«_____l____uaa^ ton^jrhief of which is the Mother Lode group in the Boundary, containing 180 acred with fine ore bodies. Price Biggest Yet. Although the price paid has not been officially announced, the amount io well understood to be»j2,ooo,ooo_>, this, owing to terms and conditions to be supple mented with expenditures, bringing the "t >tal cost upwards of $3,000,000. A smelter, tram line and all the equipment neces- I sary for a large copper-producing plant, are included in the plans and outlay. A gang of men will be immediately employed in development of this vast property, the company's engineer, Fred Kef- fer, being now on the ground making preliminary examination for that purpose. Mr. Voigt Stayed and Won. It is thirteenvears ago since Mr. Voigt prospected what is now the famed Voigt Camp. Hisjpng experiencgj___mining in Baker City, Idaho, at R<_s1____-B C ,and o'.her camps proved an unerring guide to him in his determination to found a camp equal to any He systematically prospected his claims, making assays and procuring such other data as would enable him to present a proposition en bloc that must command capital. Adversities and difficulties await every successful man's career, and these, like phantoms of superstition, serve only to prove one's courage and perseverance Mr. Voigt proved equal to ev^ry discouragement offered by ruggedl obstinate naturei_caring less, proBaTSwrJ for unwar- ranted critic/sms_-WiKK_he usual ' cold water ' showeitdy upon intelligent enterprise than ail The other supg___ous obstacles. His success meau / MINES AND MINING Placer Mining will Receive Increased Attention in the Future. Granby Mining Expert Examines Properties—Summit Camp Ore to Spokane. J. J. Armstrong, of Keremeos, was a visitor to Princeton last Friday. He is, of course, pleased with the outcome of, . the elections and sees continued prj_s£•'develop the well-known silver-gold ores C. M. Snowden has been placer pros pecting, and met with very encouraging results. He found gold and platinum in the proportions of the latter of 4 to 10, and shows coarse samples of both which indicate rich ground. Platinum is worth $45 per ounce and this gold $18 per ounce. Col. Stevenson, the veteran mining man and poineer, left FridayTor Kelly creek to do some furtherpfospecting and assessment work on his claims. E. E. Campbell, M.E , made an extended investigation of theAJnited Empire, Coalmont and J_4tipsaw mining camps while here lastweek. He will report to his company/the Granby Mining and Consolidated Co. The fine gold receipts at the Vancouver assay office for 9 months of this year total $1,000,000. Large cleanups yet remain to be made before the end of the year. P. Y. Smith is on a visit to Princeton, after prospecting during th^summer on Bear 'creek and performing assessment work at Summit. ** C. F. Law has a gang of ten men at work on Slate creek in charge of Mr. Davis, an old Colorado and Nevada expert placerman. prospecting for gold and platinum.^ Fred Stamper, prospector, arrived from Vancouver last Wednesday. .'Edwards is packing into Summit ^__p 2,000 lbs. of supplies, with which to and $18 in gold. A tunnel, now diiven 100 feet, will cut the vein at depth. Most of Mr McCauley's time and effects have been directed to the development of what is known as Camp No. 2 Here he has spent about #$0,000 in payment for\ prtcpeitiua and laboT! Several open cuts show high grade copper gold ore. Ou the Reco claim a tunnel has been driven .70 feet in length and a drift 80 feet. These are to tap the ore body at a depth of 262 feet. This is the first time that ore has been struck at such a depth on Copper Mountain, and demonstrates that the ore is strong as followed downwards The tunnel has already developed 16 feet of ore. There are many properties on Copper Mountain with fin.1 surface showings, but the owners^as vet, have not had tbe capital to p.?v. the _^__rtT_T_ref-profitable ore at de______t—Consequently much interest is of this camp. Wit& ^characteristic enterprise he hrs shippeu 1,000 lbs. of ore to the Spokane Expo. He reports the trail to the Summit in bad condition in spots and in need of immediate repair. COPPER MOUNTAIN. Good Ore Struck at Depth—Property in Mining Turnover. Another very promising camp on Copper Mountain is the Trachyte, known as J. E. McCauley's Np. 1. The ledge has been uncovered .this past summer that has been the faed(_r in by-gone ages.'to the rich placers an the Similkameen river below Friday creek. Mr. McCauley intends to have the stamps dropping on this ore before another summer has passed. Open cuts on the Trachyte group show a 22-foot ledge with a 3-foot pay chute on the foot wall assaying, #15.60 in copper aken by all in the development of the Reco ^_. Mr. McCauley never lost faith in his property and has proven to the-world, including critics, that ore is to be found at depth on Copper Mountain, a very important detail for any new mining camp. For this he is deserving the gratitude and good will of all claim owners in this section, aud also of the people at large. His labors mean revenue for the government and prosperity for the commercial community Mr. McCauley has refused the offers of three parties with cash who wanted to invest with him recently. He believed it was for the best interests of himself and all concerned to do so. He prefers to work, if slowly, yet surely. By so doing he has gained the confidence and cash of financially capable men who will continue the work he has been doing alone. It is understood the deal will be closed within thirty days. RAILWAY POINTS. The third crossing of the Tulameen has been made during the past week. Two other crossings remain before Coalmont is reached with the steel. Ballasting up to the end of the track is in progress, and it is expected the road will be ready for traffic as soon as the last rail is laid, about the first of November. A large crew has been constructing telegraph line between Princeton and Coalmont, but, as they could not work ahead of bridge construction, they were removed to Everett. Conductor Styce on the work train, confined to the hospital for a few days, is convalescing. The rumor is revived that a through passenger train will be operated from Spokane as soon as tracklaying is finished. May it be so. V. Kistler, district freight and passenger agent for the Great Northern at Grand Forks, has been promoted to a better position at Portland, Oregon. ____; r THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR October ii, 191 r, BUILDING NOTES.

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK The big mining transaction that is chronicled in this edition may be said to presage an epoch of unparalleled activity in the Similkameen. It is a deal in ore mining of the greatest magnitude in this province and therefore carries with it an importance that is certain to put the mining industry on a permanent basis in Princeton district. One large company, capable and enterprising, such as the B. C. Copper (§>., ^established in this 4j. tr'ct> creates confidence, and is an immense incentive to other companies. Indeed, another large company is al&"e.ad-y negotiating for mineral properties with; a view I to making a start. It has been often remarked that Princeton district affords every facility and almost every variety of mineral for the successful operation of mines and the reduction of their products. So prevalent are the minerals, from diamonds, platinum, gold, silver and copper to the the baser ones, iron, zinc, lead, coa', etc., that.It. quite confounds the theories of experts. However, all these are here, and in such abundance and quality as to warrant the construction of coking and smelting works. <^-?' It all means that population will follow in the wake of enterprise and capital, and that large centres will spring into existence. Expansion in every line of existing business will certainly take place, and the creation of new industries is a sequence of demaud and.supply. Thanks to an ever provident provincial government, the building of roads and trails to mining camps have mightily encouraged the prospector, as well as the capitalist. The interprovincial road, now in course of survey, traverses a wonderful field of mineral deposits east and west of the Hope mountains.. On this, tbe threshold of future prosperity and •greatness, every individual citizen should bear the responsibilities entailed by rapid progress aud development and unite in one grand, persevering boost. CALLED DOWN, CALLED DP. Our friend and contemporary, tbe editor, Hedley Gazette, devotes much space to the Star for its daring venture of an opinion on the political situation. It is certain that Premier Borden will either reverse the tariff policy of the Liberals or follow in their footsteps. The Conservatives are exponents and advocates of protection, retaliatory if you please. That was the tone of the campaign from the leader down. The Gazette need not hedge on that point. In regard to all other points disputed by the Gazette, no one' newspaper has a monopoly, although its editor may be monopolistic, by birth and education, of all the intelligence and prescience floating around about election time, and Star objects to the cat-egorical cat- echization of our esteemed contem. The editor of this illumiuant has always believed in free trade, and will personally advocate it, but the changed conditions of a paper may not permit public expression of opinion ; in fact no good editor will thrust his ego into any political question, but rather look upon his readers as more capable of sizing up the situation than he himself is. Come, Major, beafxyour sword into , ig for the good oKh)uman/ty, tbe_i our voyage across the b!jj. out into the unfathomable deep, will be one sweet call homewards and to rest. GOOD ADVERTISING. The provincial government has undertaken a great advertising scheme in sending a large exhibit of potatoes from all parts of the province to the New York exposition, at which a trophy, valued at $.1,000, is offered in competition for the various districts of North America. C H. Stuart Wade, F.R.H.S., arrived in Princeton yesterday to select tubers for-show at the Maddison Square Gardens 3rd to 14th November, from this dts__Sij. arid, although the official notice sent ahead three weeks since seems to have miscarried, he believes that there are sufficient available jJdTatoes to put up a fair exhibit. In conjunction with Ashael Smith, a Delta expert, the whole of British Columbia has been traversed, Mr. Wade taking the eastern and Mr. Smith the western porcipn.-, The eastern commissioner has traversed the country from Kamloops east to Golden and part of the Columbia Valley, Thence down the Arrot/Lakes, stopping off at many places aud obtaining excellent results. With Nelson as a centre, Kaslo, the west arm of the Kootenay and selected points were visited, as also from Cranbrook. In the Boundary district, Rossland, Trail, Grand Forks and Keremeos have added a considerable number of varieties to a list which is now showing nearly 150 varieties, and it is to be hoped Princeton will be writ large in the list of contributors to the government's scheme of advertising the province. A special train, conveying J. M. Grueber, general manager ; J. H. Emerson, assistant manager; E. L. Brown, general superintendent, arid R. C. Morgan, division superintendent, pulled into Princeton early last Wednesday morning. It was an inspection trip, and nothing new developed. In British Columbia.

Thomas. k Coalmont A legitimate Investment Today t k k k k k k k k k _*S^**"N^_*_A*^_*rf^^^^*^*^Srf^^^^**%*S*^*»« MOST PEOPLE want to invest their money where they are reasonably sure of a good return. If the investment is to be made in real estate there are several things to be considered : The situation of the town, climatic conditions, transportation facilities, and primarily the amount of the monthly payroll. When these questions are asked regarding Coalmont they may all be answered to tbe credit of the town. The situation and climatic conditions are ideal ; the main line of the V.,V. & E. railway runs through the town on its way to Vancouver. The Columbia Coal & Coke Co. operating here have practically an inexhaustible supply of a pure bituminous coal. They are installing immediately a plant which will handle 2000 tons of coal in 8 hours—this means employment for between 800 and goo men all told. Figure out this payroll and see how many coal mining towns in B C. can beat it. In a . very short time Coalmont will necessarily have a population of from 2000 to 2500 people. Will this cause real estate to rise ? We all know the answer. Then take the opportunity that presents itself now—buy first hand and reap the benefit of this increase. The prices and terms are such that anyone can afford to inves to the extent of one or two lots. They range from $175 to $550, on terms of % cash, balance over 18 months.

The output of coal and coke in B.C. is not increasing as rapidly as the demand, and the market is very important. The supply has been and still is very inadequate to the demand, which is increasing yparly in eyppp^ins th. nwpply, thereby maintaining a. regular price with occasional advances, so that if the output goes on even rapidly increasing for many years to come, it will still find an open market. The rapidly increasing manufacturing industries on the Pacific coast and in the States, the installation of many steamship lines for the Orient, and the rapid increase in the commerce of the Pacifio are causes which have combined to establish the de- £.—-> tnand for coast coals for all time, or, at <. feast, until the fields are exhausted ; and to this may be added tbe fact that new coalfields are not being opened up commensurate with the increased demand, and also that the remaining large undeveloped coalfields contiguous to the coast are few in number; therefore the value of available coal properties such as this one become apparent. Diminution and consumption of market or other production resulting in chronic conditions,'generally causes reduction in prices when diminution in industrial *3rctivity occurs, but this has not'yet been felt in the coal trade, nor likely to be for a cor_Sia'erable period. - Oil fuel for steamships has made con- _/ aideiable progress recently, and as these coals never find such markets, coal is stiff king and is therefore absolutely indispensable foi^hiany years to come. <«*_; The limiting factors in the production Hitherto have been in transportation faci . • •"- _fe"*t_. ___ a tie's rather than the coBrenes; but with " __evJf§_t,'Northern railway now completed to Princeton and through >our property, and operating between Prince- tOTjTBjSijMid Spokane, Wash.,307 miles, making connections en route with branch railways to Grand Forks, Nelson, Ross land, the Boundary country generally, and all points on the Canadian Pacific railway. The Canadian Pacific railway have been running trains to Nicola for-several-years and are presently constructing aud extending their system from Merritt up Coldwater rivei towards Princeton ; and also to Vancouver, B.C.jjya Hope under the Kettle Valley railway The Kettle Vall«s^. railway pisses south and parallel and in close proximity to the uorth eastern boundary of your property The Canadian Pacific railway have also made surveys from Penticton north of Princeton up Onemile creek to join either their extension from Merritt or Nicola. 'Surveys have also been made by the Great Northern railway from Oroville, Wash., the present gateway of the Similkameen Valley, to Penticton, B.C., and also-south securing from Princeton, on both sides of thei?ftiiilkam£. n river, a grade of I per r. nt. np to Wtppg-mr r». plr j making it feasible for the transportation of coal from the centre and eastern part of your property. The Great Northern railway are presently constructing and extending from Princeton via Granite creek (12 miles completed) to Vancouver (120 miles more) with a tunnel about 1,000 ft. long through a bluff between the Similkameen and Tulameen rivers, south and above Prince ton. The tunnel is about completed. Bridging the Tulameen river from the west end of the tunnel, the railway will follow the|west bank of the river, and the steel will be laid on, very shortly, as far as opposite the coal outcrop and tunnel in coal seam No. 4—8ft. thick, on Lot 244. There is also a railway under construction from the Okanagan Valley to the Columbia river, to connect with the main transcontinental line to Wenatchee, Washington. From Princeton the railway follows the Similkameen river on an easy grade to Oroville, Wash. From Oroville to" Mol son en route to Spokane, there is a heavy grade, but this will be overcome when the line, now under construction, is built from Oroville to Wanatchee, through the Okanagan Valley, to connect with the main line of the Great Northern at the latter place. This branch, when completed, will give an excellent outlet for the Princeton coals into central Washington on very favor able grades. The present transportation facilities are excellent for the distribution of Princeton coals to the Boundary count: y and Spo kane (307 miles distant) and with the completion of the described competitive railways and will undoubtedly be increased very materially within a few years. The present freight rates on coal from Pqgceton to Sp___k_ane (307 miles) is $2.50 per ton, and will probably be reduced to $2 after the Okanagan Valley railway is completed, which will give easier grades. The Nicola Valley Coal & Coke Co., Ltd., werecharged a freigfaf>rat_rfi_p___ miles of $2 per ton, which was reduced to $1.80 without competitive railways. Capitalization and Profits from Operating Collieries in B C. These coal seams referred to are well deposit.d, with good sandstone roofs, and floors for economical mining. . The tendency in Western coal-mining is to secure economical production by the adoption of the most improved methods of mining, handling and preparing the coal for the market. In this case would advise that the coalmining of this field be executed by ma chinery of the latest type, ' The Siskel' machine for coal;cutting and with the ultimate haulage: both being driven by compressed air. The prime factor in the administration and working of collieries should be the recognition of the axiom that the more faulty the coal-seams are, and other unavoidable continguencies, the greater the necessity for building lip a large reserve fund to be devoted to development work for further bonanzas, and also that the exploratory work should be carried on at'a steadi pace : which generally results in securing the minimum cost; and content poraneously with the working of the bonanza, which bears out the trite saying that preuention ;s better than cure. Very probably, with further develop ment, other coal-seams, etc., may'be dis' covered. The coal-seams, over 4ft. in thickness, in these properties, ought to be operated, based upon the practical experience, in actual operation, under the administration of the reporter on Vancouver Island and in the Nicola Valley, and from operations in Alberta and Western Canada, at the following costs :— Daily output in tons 500 Wellington Colliery Co., Ltd., Vancouver Island, under the reporter's administration in 1901, was $ 1.35 per ton of 2,240 lbs. The limit of profitable production may be said to be reached whenjcoal seams of not less than 3 ft. in thickness have to be worked in this district, excepting anth racite. _S«S_v_s?'

GENERAL NEWS. The commission appointed by the B.C. government to investigate assessment and taxation conditions, with a view to devising reforms, held its initial sitting last Monday in Victoria, with Hon. Price Ellison and C. H. Lugrin as commissioners No increase of wild land tax has been suggested, but poll tax may be increased from $2, to $4. Exemption from taxation is advocated for impr.vements as an encouragement to building.
