Vol. XI. No. 3. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1910. $2 a Year in Advance REVIEW OF WINING Daily News Special Edition Shows Steady Progress in Province. Princeton and District Favorably Compare in Development and Bright Prospects. Th.e Nelson Daily News, with charac teristic energy and enterprise, has issued a special mining edition containing a mass of information regarding the mining industry generally throughout the province. The work of collaborating the material for this valuable edition de volved upon editor Jacobs, the well known mining authority, who has again shown his capacity for colossal work of this kind and laid the province under a debt of gratitude for his eminent ser vices. The Similkameen occupies large space in the edition, a few extracts from which are given, as follows: Push Railway Construction. " Perhaps the most important informa tion there is to chronicle concerning jjprbgress in the vicinity of Princeton is contained in the following communication kindly sent by James H. Kennedy, assistant chief engineer of the V.,V. & jE.'an response to a request for information. He says : 'We have the track laid to the coal mine of the Vermilion Forks Co. and they intend to place their coal on the market at once. The spur is 4000 feet in length. A spur is also under construction to the He lley Gold Mines ■Co's mill at Hedley for the purpose of delivering to them coal from Princeton. We expect to push the work of construe tion up the Tulameen river in the near future.'" V.F.M. Co's Coal Mine. " After years of waiting residents in the interior of the big Similkameen district now have the intense satisfaction of seeing railway trains running into and out of their part of the province. The Vermilion Forks Co. foreseeing this some months ago engaged Charles Graham, an experienced coal mine manager aud for some time underground manager of the Wester'ri FueT"Cb.. Nanalmo; Mr. Graham has been good enough to contribute the following notes on the Princeton coal mine at the request of the wiiter of this review: \l/ "The only property in the vicinity of Princeton in a position to shin coal is that owned by the Vermilion Forks Co. There are two seams of coal, the upper seam being about six feet in thickness. A prospect tunnel was driven into this seam several years ago. About 50 feet below the Similkameen river bridge the lower seam crops out in the bank and in the bed of the river. An adit level has been driven in this seam almost due east on its strike for a distance of 622 feet. Upon the bench above the river a slope pitching about 18 deg., has been put down through the overlying gravel and this struck the coal at 154 feet At 60 feet west and 150 feet south of the mouth of the slope a small shaft, 8x8'feet was .sunk and connected to the slope and the adit level. Good Domestic and Steam Coal. " The coal is lignitic in character and various tests show it to be well suited for domestic and steaming purposes. The lower seam is divided into two benches. The top bench is about 8 feet thick arid free from dirt or slate : below this there is from two to three feet of fireclay. Un- erlying the fireclay is about 13 feet of coal. This bottom bench has several small bands of clay varying from ^ in. to 2 inches in thickness, but it is free from bone. The company is erecting a tipple and putting in a plant to handle an output of 400 tons per day. The chief market for this coal will be in the Boundary country and south to Spokane. No great amount of development has yet been done in the mine but thert is suf ficient to give an output of about 100 tons per day to commence with." Copper Mountain and Whipsaw. On Copper mountain, and in other parts of the district around Princeton, there are numerous mineral claims, some of which have been prospected sufficiently to expose ore in considerable quantity, but no particulars of recent date are available for the purposes of this review. Two months ago a report was published in the press to the effect that negotiations were in progress for the sale of the. United Empire group, on One-Mile creek, owned by W. C. McDougall and associates. Last summer the Similkameen Star published an account of the reported discovery ot silver lead ore on the Whipsaw. Mr. Camsell, in his report, mentioned that the Reco mineral claim had been steadily worked for a year and a half; that the Gladstone, on Friday Creek, had been further prospected ; and that there were claims on Five-Mile and Roche river which the owners considered sufficiently promising to warrant the expenditure of a considerable amount of money in development. Platinum and Other Metals. The property at the head of Bear creek in the Tulameen district, known as the Independence group, that was prospected continuously for more thau two years either by the Granby company or some of its prominent shareholders on their own account, is about the most promin ent in this part of the country. Particulars have been received of a group of claims on Coutney mountain, nine miles west of Otter Flat, described as contain- LOCAL AND GENERAL Beautiful Winter Weather with Good Sleighing and Fine Skating, Buildings to be Erected and Business Prospects Brightening as Days are Lengthening.

Provincial Legislature meets Thursday, the 20th day of January. A. Murchie writes that he will leave in a few days for Princeton. There are many others beading this way. REVISITS HIS FIRST 'LOVE.' "Tom McAlpine, of Summerland, was in town last week renewing old acquaintances and sizing up the prospects for a big town. He was among the early arrivals in Princeton some q or 10 years laglSZbnt got tired waiting for the rail way and left, saying he would riot return until he could ride into town on a pull- man. He came in on the regular train the other day and was amazed at the progress and development observed. He has never lost faith in Princeton and will eventually make this place his home. Mr. McAlpine has prospered materially in the Okanagan having been concerned with irrigation schemes and bis investments proved profitable, also in home life he is happy and blessed with a bunch of little ones. Summerland is incorporated, has an nptodate newspaper, is issuing $250,000 in debentures for light and waterworks, has sidewalks and streets macadamized with shale. fe&aiftr LIKES OUR CLIMATE. George N. Gartrell, of Summerland, was a recent visitor to Princeton, having come to spy out the land for investment and other business. It is his first visit and he quickly saw the immense possibilities of a country so fertile in mineral and other resources. His people are among the oldest and most respected families in the Okanagan and grow great quantities of fruit. With the building ' of the Kettle Valley railway connection will be made between Princeton and Summerland, when the interchange of fruit and coal will begin, Mr. Gartrell is pleased with onr climate and enjoyed sleigh riding. WIPJU'. mmn ^ The most-im; ortaol thing to be decided at the polls, will be the constitutional reform of the house of lords. If 'oVie may judge the temper of the great mass of the people at this distance the Old Country is now ripe for a,bloodless revolution. Equal rights and privileges to all; the burden of taxation laid upon all in fair proportion; free imported food and self-government for Ireland on the lines of our provincial governments, are some of the questions the Liberals propose to settle if returned to power. The Conservatives promise tariff reform and taxed imported food ff they are returned, their leader preferring to 'prescribe when he is called in,' as he puts it, on other matters. Liberals throughout the Empire will wish success to the cause of the people in their struggle against oppression and wrong.
