Princeton Coal, high thermal qualities,'_10w waste. Avoid debt if you would have peace, health and prosperity. Vol. XIII No. 35 PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1912. PER YEAR : $2, Cash Single Copy, 5c COAL, ORE AND PLACER MINING N^DCAPITAL TO WORK _£_ MINES AND MINING Urgent Appeal to Place Ore Samples on Exhibition at Coast. Princeton Coal is Sure of Large Demand When Railways are. Hauling Through. Editor Star—Sir : Kindly give space to a matter of importance to your community The Vancouver exhibition has closed with the best display of ores ever gathered in the province for public inspection and like purpose. Even with 257 distinct ore exhibits some-important mining centers were not represented, Priuceton among the number. That was an error on the part of your people. If they could have listened to the many inquiries about your ores and thg.de.vel- opmeut going on in your district they would have been convinced of the mistake in allowing the exhibition to pass without a display. Offers of free transportation were made and if the people themselves cannot see the importance of interesting investors and capital, who can ? Our visitors came from all parts of the world. As an example of the inter est shown let us take the case of the Nickel Plate ore at Hedley, donated for the exhibit three years ago, by manager G P. Jones of the Hedley Gold Mines Co. Samples of this ore have been given on request to Dublin university, a pri vate collection in London, four collec1 tions of 30 samples for high schools, and numerous other requests. I was able to- supply specimens of coal from Coalmont, (never had sample of Princeton coal, excepting a sruairiample of my own), samples of diamond rock have been given away and Tulameen given the credit. Let us change this state of things and give your section the prominence it deserves and needs Will you not allow your office to be used for the reception of samples to be turned over for a permanent exhibit, or could the board of trade spare a little of its time and attention to this matter ? The formation of an association is being discussed which will unite miners, prospectors and owners in a pub licity campaign of our natural resources. An investor can make no mistake if he wants mines, timber or lands in B.C. Yours truly, H B. Brown, director of mineral exhibit. The prodnction of coal for 1911 by ttie Princeton Coal & Land Co. was 23,396 tons as against 11,868 tons for 1910, an increase of 11,528 tons for 1911. This mine is now receiving an increase of orders for fall and winter trade. The completion of the Kettle Valley railway from Okanagan district to Princeton is anxiously looked forward to by the coal consumers of the Okanagan. At present they are obliged to use a very iQuL_.bituminous coal unsuitable for do mestic purposes and the price is exorbitant, from $8' to $9 per ton. Princeton coal will command the Okanagan trade because of its clean and superior heating qualities, besides the hahling distance will be only about 50 miles. The Princetou Coal & Lan(l Co. employs all white labor, numbering 67. » The Nicola Valley Coal & Coke Co. of Middlesboro employs 487 whites. ' Th^ColumblaCoal & Coke Co. of Coalmont employs 80 men, developing. Sam Spencer returned to town yesterday after spending most of the summer at his. mine . on the Whipsaw, the showings being most encouraging. He was accompanied by Mrs. Spencer. W. .C Fry, the well, known placer mining man, of Vancouver, was in town iasfevfceek.. _it«»iu. i s. r -»_-___~»- . W. B Dornberg came down from Leadville lasfMonday and repoi ts aCttve mining on the Treasure Mountain. With others at Leadville Mr. Dornbeig is anx iou.s to have a road built to that new and thrivine camp so that immediate shipmen'.s of*the 100-dollar ore may begin when" completed. On another p..ge will be found an advertisement calling for tenders for a tunnel. Chas. Camsell, Dominion geologist, was in town Monday after, visiting Tulameen. He went to Hedley, going from there to Victoria. F. Mclutosh, mining man of Vancouver is in town. J. D. MacDonald, hydraulic engineer, of Seattle, was in town this week. E. E. Emmons, of Vancouver, arrived last Saturday. LEADVILLE LEADS. .Leadville, B.C , Aug 26.—Everything in the mining line is encouraging.. As clean galena as any man ever saw is now showing at the Treasure Mountain mine. There are about two feet of first class ore, five of second grade _nd seven of lower quality iu the tunnel. The appearance of the property withstands the closest scrntiny of experts. Besides the galena leads in this locality there are some dikes carrying copper, gold and silver values. One lead is over 100 feet wide, lying between diorite walls and carrying pay ore. W. B. Dornberg has had five or six men and as many horses dragging T rails from Tulameen to his camp. Guthrie & Co , V.V. & E. contractors, will soon have men at'work. Lacrosse will be the top attraction at Hedley on Labor Day, no less than three teams' competing. --Princeton will be there, and that means high class lacrosse for thej spectators. LOCAL AND GENERAL Road Construction Going on at Good Pace in Vicinity and District. Damp and Chilly Weather Retards Haymakers, Harvesters, but Small Damage. Mrs. C. L. Cummings leaves shortly to join her husband who is working at his trade in Nelson. On the 13th inst. at Greenwood, Mrs. Graliam, mother of Mrs. W. Garrison of Princeton, passed away. The deceased had been a sufferer from cancer of the stomach, which medical skill failed tp relieve. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved ones. , Mrs. Wilms returned from a pleasant visit to Keremeos last week, Miss Wilms remaining with" her girl friend ehjoying the ozone peculiar to the peach belt. . Divisional Superintendent Graham pf tjie C.P R. passed through Princeton last Monday on his way over the mountain trail to Hope. His presence here gaye rise to preposterous rumors, one of which was that a contract would be let on the Kettle Valley west of Princeton at once, and another that a deadly struggle be tween the Great, Northern and C.P.R. was on and would result in both roads being built on time. Constable McGuffie has been transferred to Keremeos and H. C. Williams of Vic toria, will take his place in Greenwood. Billy O'Brien, the celebrated lacrosse player, having played on such crack teams as the Shamrocks of Montreal, the Capitals of Ottawa, and the Victoria and Vancouver clubs, also a member of the Princeton team, left last week for the coast, where he will reside with his fj&milyt Frank Chitty, a member of the Star's operating staff, was suddenly attacked last Friday with" what is termed 'by the doctors as appendicitis, and left for home at Mols. n.'Wash. He is an expert pressman and the vacancy thus caused will be hard to fill. Meantime if there is a 'printer around-who is not overwhelmed with 'dough'the 'old man' would be glad to look into his collar y}4 hours daily. No dead line. Died—On the 20th inst, the baby daughter of Mr. "and Mrs. D. M. French. Star joins with friends in expressing sincere sympathy, with the sorrowing ones. J D. Scott is a recent visitor to Princeton, coming from England, where his profession as actor-comedian commanded large remuneration. Mr. Scatt may locate here. K MUCH ROAD CONSTRUCTION. H. A. Turner, road superintendent, was in this vicinity last week inspecting the work already done this year and laying But new-grading and sidewalks. In line with the policy of the government much of the new road making was undertaken with a view to Assist the development «_f mine§^"and link up.the agricultural sections. . Copper mountain road has had a lot of improvements, necessary for the heavy traffic to Voigt camp. The transprovincial. trunk" road is making good progress and this, with the branches to be built, will give employment to many men for two or three years. To Summit {Jajnp, or 'Leadville,' the proposed new name, a road will be started this fall and completed at. the earliest possible time, having regard to v^eather conditions in the high altitudes traversed. No one but an incurable pessimist could fail to appreciate the large amount of road work done and. the more thau apparent intention of the government to give communication to mining camps especially. ON WITH THE DANCE Next-Friday evening the Princeton and District band will give another of their popular dances, thef proceeds of which will be applied to the maintenance of this valuable adjunct of the town. It is incnmbent on every resident of the town and district to patronize the band, giving it not only a sentimental support but the real earnest of good intentions to be found in the purchase of a ticket. The band is making fine progress and Prof. Gibson has reason to be proud of the talented members who have responded to his excellent training and ability. The music for the dance will be given by J. O. Coulthard's select 4 piece orchestra. Tickets $1, ladies free. EAST PRINCETON NOTES. East Princeton, Aug. 26.—The V..V. & E. has finished ballasting the spur to the cement works. : Mr. and Mrs. E.

A gentleman who travels much in the province says he heard outside of the town from those who formerly resided here that Princeton is in bad moral condition. It is hard to conceive of a mOre unjust, untruthful aspersion in the light of fact and statistics. Some twenty-five or thirty years' experience in western mining camps and frontier towns warrants the statement that Princeton has less of crime, vice, and lawlessness than any other place visited. It is a model town in many respects with as clean and respectable population as can be found in any town of its size in tbe old country or back east. It is probable some .disappointed person or persons, as a sort of revenge for their failure, attempt to bring the town into disrepute. It is a well known fact that some individuals never fail to disparage the town or city they last graced with their excellent presence. Like the chronic knocker these individuals carry no weight and it is only to warn the stranger or unsuspecting one that any denial is here made. All this talk of war and naval construction is the effusive vapor ings of the military mad and the politician patriot. Jingoism and flag-flapping are the tactics used in behalf of the big armament contractors and provisioners. How much better it would be if the newspapers and statesmen would advocate- disarmament and universal peace and free trade. This is a goal worth attaining, instead of pursuing a policy of unrest and strife, spending the money and life of the nation for that which tends toward poverty and ruin. It is possible to frame international law governing the conduct of nations just as civil law governs the conduct of individuals toward each other. Is there a statesman or an editor of note who has the courage to take up the question of disarmament and help to end the senseless craze tor battleships and other death dealing machines? Many suggestions for legislative action to overcome the decreasing birth rate due to barrenness and race suicide are being made by anthropologists. Germans suggest a plurality, of wives and other countries will experiment with the bonus system as a means of preserving the race from decimation. The more licentious and wicked a nation is, a corresponding decrease of popula tion follows, until as is observed in the midnight of the dark middle centuries some European races were well nigh obliterated by foul disease. The more prolific races are those of predominating moral habits. Star may be pardoned if it suggests to those statesmen worrying over the procreative problem that the remedy lies not in the beastly bonus but in more stringent enforcement of the laws affecting purity and good morals. Houses of shame winked at by the mere empty formality of statute poison the innocent with the exhaling odor of their presence. When governments enforce tie observance of laws dealing with all vice there will be no necessity for pampering a condition to increase population. This is the age of injection. A few years ago it was ejection, the remedies for most complaints being purgatives, emetics and bleeding. Now the medicine men inject serum, toxin, vaccine, rattlesnake juice, tear of bat, sleeping and waking dopes, what not. The divine remedy for all ills is the same yester day, today and forever, and never fiils when faithfully administered. FEAR IS BANEFUL TEACHING. Editor Star—Sir : In the mediasval ages, commonly known as the 'dark ages,' liberty of thought was not permitted. History tells us of the inhuman itBstrvf' ments of torture invented for the persecution of those who refused to believe as the churches commanded. We, who live in the 20th century, shudder when reading of the crimes committed during that period in the name lar. religion. How much better are we than the people of those days? True, we would not permit the use of the thumbscrew or faggot, much less the rack or Spanish donkey. But the spirit which prompted the use of those tortures then still exists among us, and given the opportunity would be used again. Attention is turned to torturing the mind when the law prohibits torturing the flesh. - The extracts from the Bible which appeared in your issue of the 7th is an illustration ot the means employed. I am sorry to see such teachings. Surely the gentlemen, whose signatures are at the bottom of the extracts can find belter teachings in the book. The teachings are not Christ's, nor are they the inspiration of a God You can't make anyone love you by making them fear you. Yours truly, Jno. Nathan. Princeton, 'Vug. 26, 1912.

Harris was taken into custody today charged with stealing #20,000 from the Standard bank. Richmond attempted suicide before his arrest and is still coo ill to appear in court.

HOWSE Co., Ld PRINCETON, INICOLA, HERRITT [61 RELIGIONS IN CANADA Of the twenty-seven tabulated religions in tbe census returns just issued, the Roman Catholies stand first as to numbers, with 2,229,600 adherents. The Methodist Church comes next with 918,886; the Presbyterians, 842,442; the Anglicans, 680,620; the Baptists, 316,477; the Congre- gationalists, 28,293. The total of these five prominent Protestant denominations: is, therefore, 2,784,718. A number of other Protest-tfit sects add up"a total of 230,000. Amoug oth$£.interesing itemfe in this statement of religious beliefs it may be mentioned that the Greek church-has 15, 630 members, that the Buddhists number 10,40s, tbe Confucians 5,115, and the Mormons 6,891. IN 1871 there were 1,- 115 Jews in Canada, now there are 16,4^1. The Pagans record themselves, or are recorded, as 15,107, and the agnostics3i|oi3. Among the denominations that have made no numerical progress since 1871 are the Unitarians, the Society of Friends and the Universalisls. The first mentioned body numered 2,275 in I^7I an<^ i' 's recorded as 1.934 to day. The Society of Friends had 7,345 adherents in 1871 and it has 4,100 now. The Roman Catholic Church and the five chief Protestant de nominations exhibit a steady and regular increase. RACE SUICIDE A venerable and foremost clergyman on the continent of America in a recent address depicted the evils physical and national as the result of the prevalent and popular vice of race suicide. The ravages of the crime are inestimable. The whole human fabric is involved and the dire results in the present day of its practice are absolutely appalling. There is no other vice comparable to it in its destrnction of the human race. Unless the evil is checked the elimination o\ the human family is the inevitab e outcome. More especially is it the case with the people of the wsstern world, Race suicide and its co-partner in crime di vorce are doing an iasidious but deadly work. Time of itself is a great destroyer, and when aided by artificial means to subdue the laws of nature, the evil effects are asroaiiding. The physical wrecks seen on every side speak only too plainly of the baneful consequences to adult life, to sav nothing of the slaughter of the unborn, which is likened to the death of the Holy Innocents by King He od. Sooner or later .the crime must be faced by legislation more effective than now existing, and the quicker the better for the safety and preservation of people fo say nothing of the ethical side of the question. From desertations by leading medical anthorties on the baneful consquences of the wilful contravention of natural law, it would seem as though too often religious endeavor shows a false modesty in combattiog such a universal evil and too mWB zeal in pro- secut'n.4 more popular subjects but of less harmful consequences. It is a pity society had not more clergymeu to raise their voices, and use the powerful influence of their church organizations in conquering so great destroyers of domestic happiness, physicai superiority, and the propagation of mankind of every description.—Brockvill?

BROOM. 1ELD_ GARRISON THE VALUE OF RADIUM There are no very exact statistics of radium available, but according to the United States Geological Survey the whole quantity in the world is probably not over two or thrss ounces, and its value, like that of the big diamonds of the world is purely nominal. It is worth whatever the possessors can get for it. The head of the English corporation producing radium claims that it is worth approximately $100.000,000 a pound. A year ago this same person had estimated the value.of tadium at oue third more. However, a little varation of $50,000,000 is not though to flatter where there is no appreciable fraction ot a pound of the precious stuff in sight. The fact that has more than anything else to do with fix ing the price is the existence of several radium banks in the world where tubes containing a microscopic speck of radinm are rented out to doctors at something like $50 a day. While it is known to be of some value in treating lupus, which is a form of tuberculosis attacking the tis sues, usually of the face, there is little else known about its medical value. It has been claimed on several occasions that radium was valuable in the treatment of cancer, but experiments have not proved this to be an absolute fact. A short time ago it was reported that the Austrian government had purchased the only two mines under private ownership producing the ores from which radium is made, and thereby gained a monopoly in its manufacture. This report, however, turned out inaccurate. It is true that the Austrian mines and the Austrian government heretofore have supplied the bulk of the radium salts existing in the world, but at the preeeut time radium is being manufactured in three other countries, the United States included. Sweden is prodncing radium from kolm, the Euglish are getting it from mines in Wales, while we get it from western Colorado, where there is a large deposit of radium-producing ore. These deposits produce also uranium and vanadium, the latter being used for. making some of the high-grade steel alloys. While the mining pays in vanadium alone, the ore produces a certain per cent of radium. Ten tons of it procure only between twenty and thirty milligrammes of radium.-Scientific American. ITEMS Or INTEREST. E. G. Rvkert returned to Montreal re cently from a trip to Europe, during which he succeeded in organizing a large syndicate of British and continental capitalists for the taking over of a large track of land in the Peace River country. The total amount of land which will ultimately be taken over is about 800,000 acres and the price will reach nearly #5.000,000. Scottish, English, Belgian, Dutch and French capital is interested, a particularly large proportion being Dutch. An invention to protect sheep from the inroads of wolves, coyotes and other animals that prey upon the herds has been devised by E, C. Winchester of Thermo- polis, Wyoming, and has been prounced by sheep men of that region to be the most practical device for scaring away wild animals and keeping the sheep together at night that has yet been offered. The machine consists of an automatic gun which will shoot a blank cartridge every 30/40 or 60 minutes, as arranged, while a bull's eye lantern is so adjusted as to revolve and flash its light in every direction. William Blakemore, editor of the Vic toria Week, has been appointed a com missiouer to investigate the Donkhobors on behalf of the provincial government.
