■T——- _B_» __v w w iV '¥ Princeton basin contains 800,000,000 tons of fine coal Think all you speak, but speak not all you think. In the centre of a vast ore and coal producing; district, where the soil and climate do not despise the big rosy apple or the succulent berry, stands pretty Princeton, which nature has designed as a great distributing point—No social class distinctions here, the simple life prevails. Vol. XI. No. 33. PRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 19JO. $2 a Year in Advance MINES AND MINING Whipsaw Camp Interesting to Miners: Promises Big Mineral Harvest. Ore Sample Collector Visits Camps in District—Big Display From Nelson District. Charlie Day brought in some very fine looking ore taken frotn the Lucky Pair at Whipsaw last Saturday. It was taken from the tunnel recently started as a cut-off to the main lead and is about 50 feet from the month of the big tunnel, driven-some 230 feet. The ore two weeks ago assayed about $40 per ton, but now that both depth and distance have increased, with less oxidization and gangue, it is qujte probable the ore will run $60 ia gold, silver and lead. WhateverjX1 may assay, there is no doubt of its cbafig-. ing, solidifying character which may be taken to indicate richer ore. Knight & Day are so encouraged with the bettering conditions and quality of the lead that they will continue work until the pure argentiferous galena is struck. With some ten or twelve tons of high grade ore on the dump, Knight & Day give promise of being early shippers from Whipsaw. H. B Brown, of the Bulldog mines at Hedley, was in camp last week on his ore collecting tour for the Expo at Vancouver next week and later to be exhibited at the New Westminster Fair. No better selection could have been made for the purpose of collecting ore exhibits, than Mr. Brown. He is a practical prospector and miner, leaving the theoretical part for those who assume to know all about it and are^xperts with the 'leedle hammer.' He knows ore from gangue and can' distinguish ledge matter from mud, which is more than the critics can do. Mr. Brown- has great faith in the future of theSimilkameen as a mining district. He has been seven years in the Hedley section, discovering and proving mineral claims, sorting and sifting them down and concentrating his labor on those of particular merit. His Bulldog mine is situated on the railway and is a ready shipper, in the development of which he has felt the pinch of pnrse and lack of capital. While his credit is good for all kinds of booze, which he does not want, yet when he asks for powder on ■ time, which he does want, there is nothin' doin.' If this order of things were reversed Brown could do business and the wheels of industry would fairly b There are, however, indications that a turn in the tide has begun and capital, having had a surfeit of real estate is now turning to mining investments. Brown and all others who have learned to 'labor and wait' must reap a bountiful reward. The Similkameen needs capital and nothing attracts it more'quickly than a good ore exhibit. RAILWAY GRADE NEAR DONE. That the completion of grading on the eighteen mile stretch west of Princeton is drawing nigh is proven by the big gangs of men arriving in town during tbe last week on their way to the pay- wicket and the railway station. Of the actual roadbed yet to be completed a hundred men will be detained to finish up the contract of Stewart & Welch, who are the oiiginal contractors for the whole distance. It is not yet known when the rails will be laid and the bridges built. However, it seem to be only a businesslike propo sition thftt the line would be made readv for earnings as soon as possible. COLUMBIA COAL & COKE CO. /Tfie following are the officials and directors of the Columbia Coal & Coke Co., recently in attendance at a meeting held at Granite Creek for the purpose of transacting important business: President, J. W. Bettes, Winnipeg; Vice- President, J. T. Johnson, Vancouver; Secretary-Treasurer, W. L. Parrish, Winnipeg ; J. E. Grey, Winnipeg ; Attorney- General of Manitoba, Colin C. Campbell; J. Brown, Winnipeg. Important work will be immediately started in the development.of their property. TESTING CLAY DEPOSITS. The fact that nearly 60 per cent, of the clay products utilized in Canada are imported from the United States, while Canadian clay deposits lie undeveloped, is the cause of action on the part of the Dominion bureau of mines, whereby two clay experts, H. Reis and J. Keele have been delegated to make a tour of the Dominion, collecting as they proceed, samples of the clay deposits in the districts accessible by railroad, to be sent to Ottawa to be tested to ascertain their value as material for brick or tile manufacture. These two men will take samples of clay in the beds that are known to exist but that as yet have not been developed. The results of the tests will eventually be published in the form of a bulletin, which will be of great value to business men who may desire to invest capital in a clay development enterprise. Prospectors, what about clay deposits in Princeton district ? The Douglas Lake Cattle Co. has sold ite_$ropefty in Nicola district amounting .0 io6/_do acres of agricultural and graz ingf^land and 12,000 head of beef cattle •toP. Burns & Co. for $1,500,000. Nearly every town of note iu the western provinces has its Canadian Club. Is Princeton ready for one ? i H LOCAL AND GENERAL Huckleberry Time Lures Nimble Pickers to the High Hills. Earners and Others Invited to Meeting Monday Night in the Town Hall. An ounce of boost outweighs a ton of knock. Dr. McCaffery is having the material laid on the gronnd, Fenchurch Av., fo: a residence and office. J. R. Campbell has beeu requested to play in the Hope baseball team in the match with the Vancouver club. A E. Howse and touring party are expected to arrive this week in his auto car. Huckleberry parties are all the fashion now, Mesdames Allison, Coulthard and Thomas with a retinue of children, going out Monday to the Hope mountains, where the bushes are said to be well loaded. Huckleberry pie, O my ! Before Magistrate Thomas on Monday J. O. Madden, of Madden & Hankinson. railway contractors, was fined $50 for starting a clearing fire. Fire Warden Coulthard prosecuted. Labor Day will be celebrated in Hedley this year with all the eclat due to so great a day and so great a theme. Labor vincit omnia. Remember the dates—' Monday and Tuesday, September 5 and 6. For choice fruits call at the A. E. Howse Co's. The canning season is now on, and your orders will have prompt attention. Cheap as the cheapest. f Circulars are out for the Panama- Pacific Exposition to be held for the celebration of the completion of the Panama Canal in 1915, at San Francisco. The fifth annual exhibition will be held at Victoria from the 27th of September to the 1st of October. Dr. Lazier, formerly of Princeton, has gone to Ft. George to practise. Mrs. J. A. Brown of Keremeos was a visitor to Princeton recently. R. H. Chapman, expert topographer of the United States Geological Survey, has been loaned by that government to the Canadian Geological Survey for the purpose of giving field instructions to the various parties at work in B. C. Mr. Chapman has been recently attached to Mr. Camsell's party at Tulameen, but with indifferent results, owing to the smoky condition of the atmosphere for sighting purposes. Steve Young pulled out fo ■ Portland Canal Saturday, coming back here later to prospect. He has a third interest in a producing mine in Arizona. He is a Brockville 'old boy' where-his .father is a large mason contractor, The chronic knocker and the pessimist are twins, what the one lacks the other supplies and between them they manage to keep their cup of misery full all the time. Pity them rather than despise. D. O. Day is at Eugene, Ore., still under medical treatment, with no perceptible benefit. His case seems to puzzle human skill; there is yet hope in Divine remedy. Many friends' and tilli- cums here would be. glad to learn of his restored health. Bert Irwin is making good progress- on the hospital building and will have it ready ori time. J. K. Stymets, barber, of Cincinnati, O is supplying tonsorial and ablution- ary needs at the old stand, Hugh Cowan's, during the latter's illness. - Angus Lamont, though weak, is holding out wonderfully wejl, considering his 73 years of life. A host of friends all over the province, many of whom were met in the-early gold digging days, will wish him early recovery. The success of dry farming methods is attested by thousands of agriculturists iu tbe United States and Canada. In this year of general drouth all over the continent the subject of dry farming is of deeper interest than ever before. The fifth Dry Farming Congress will be held in Spokane, October 3-6. It is a subject that should be introduced into schools. Chas. Camsell, geologist, was in town Saturday on his way to Hedley and Okanagan Falls. At the latter place he will examtne the asbestos deposits. HORSE AND CATTLE MARKET. If the farmers and horse and cattle owners would fix a day for holding a fair for the purpose of buying and selling live stock, there is no doubt a large trade could be done. These fairs would bring a large number of buyers and sellers together on a given day, affording opportunity for marketing which could not otherwise be obtained. A little effort, some' advertising and inducements properly presented must bring about the desired results. Come to the meeting in the Court house on Monday evening at 8 p.m. WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT ? Moustaches are going out of fashion. Evidently they are not considered of use or ornament, for the ruthless razor has been busy and many a full, flowing, griz zled, bristly moustachio has succumbed to the endemic condition noijr devastating the upper lip. Some jj?rejuy4nates and where thejfeps are well moulded and the mouth shapely the improvement is striking. The barefaced style may be considered renascent of the mediaeval Greeks and Romans whose statuary are minus the moustache. :'.'•£ THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR August io, 1910. August 10, 1910.

SIZE: Octavo. PAGES: 1228. CHAPTERS: 25. SCOPE : The copper industry of the world. COVERING : Copper history, geology, geography, chemistry, mineralogy, mining, milling, leaching, smelting, refining, brands, grades, impurities, alloys, uses, substitutes, terminology, deposits by districts, states, countries and continents, mines in detail, statistics of production, consumption, imports, exports, finances, dividends, etc. The Copper Handbook is concededly the World's Standard Reference Book on Copper. The miner needs the book for the facts it gives him regarding geology, mining, copper deposits and copper mines. The metallurgist needs the book fot the facts it gives him regarding copper milling, leaching, smelting and refining. The copper consumer needs the book for every chapter it contains. It tells what, and explains how and why. The investor in copper shares cannot afford to be without it. The Copper Handbook gives statistics and general information on one hand, with thousands of detailed mine descriptions on the other, covering the copper mines of the entire world, and the 40 pages of condensed statistical tables alone are worth more than the price of the book to each and every owner of copper miuing shares.
