Gladden arid C.'.E. Oliver are surveying claims for Duncan Woods beyond the Nickel Plate. The timber for the new bridge over the creek on Webster ; St. is being taken out; by Mr. A. Pleasance and will shortly be till laid down.. Robt. Stevenson came down from Princeton on Tuesday. He and Dr. Blair, of Portland, left- yesterday for Riordan mountain and vicinity. R. D. Sproule, whothas been visiting his brother, constable Sproule, left on Thursday morning for the coast before returning to his home in Winnipeg. The thermometers ' at " the Nickel Plate were broken a week ago and hence the absence thrs week of tein- peiature readings at the hill station. Mr. Hogeland accompanied Mr. Kennedy to Otter Flat on Tuesday and will get his first taste of railway recorinaisance in the moimtains of B. C. ������������������ Mike Serdich who was accidentally shot at the Golden Zone mine a few weeks ago, continues to improve and the bullet wound in his leg appears to be healing satisfactorily. Mr. and Mi>. Merrill went out again on Monday morning accompanied by Mr. Gor-rie. Mr-. Walter Beam remained behind and is still here to look after the interests of the Nickel Plate bond-holders. Dr. Blair, Portland, arrived in town on ��������� Monday evening, to meet Robt. Stevenson and gtf with him to examine properties in the vicinity of Riordan mountain, including Mr. Stcven- f son's claims on Red Mountain. - Harry Rose didn't do a thing but spring a surprise on his Hedley friends when ..unheralded he arrived in town on Thursday night last with- his bride, having been married in Greenwood to Mrs. Ethel Flannigan, formerly of Hedley. Mri Wi H. Tapley of the B. C. hotel Penticton, was in town on Friday, accompanied by L.' T. Roberge and Adophe -Garlnea.il. They were on their way to Otter Valley to meet L; C. Barnes, with whom' they are .associated in an important mining deal. Mr Madden who.completed his contractual Sterling Creek several weeks ago ' has-" gone back to engineering work, and is acting as resident engineer in camps 5 and 6. Mr. Madden is an old railroad engineer and has done aiot'bf'work for the Gt. Northern on construction. W. A. Maclean completed his contract last week and turned his men over to camps 5 and 6 where the supts. are becoming a trifle uneasy that the track may overtake them before the job is completed. Mr. Maclean has done welL on his contract and is prepared to take on another chunk of it when the grading moves on from Princeton. Mr. T. C. Gome left on Monday morning for his home in California, after a stay of over four months here during which "time he has been in charge of. exploratory work on the Nickel Plate properties for the gentlemen who; hold the bond. During his stay Mr. Gorrie made many friends on the hill who hope to see him back at some future time. On Thursday hist the second steam pile-driver passed through on its way to Princeton. It is learned since that they were unable to get to work when they reached Princeton owing to lack of piling timber, which the contractor had failed to get on the ground in time owing to the speedy lowering of the water in the Similkameen. On Monday the pile- driver gang had to turn river men. .- ' ' ��������� Mr. F. Pyman, was a welcome caller at the Gazette office on Monday. He was enroute for Enderby where he will take over again the business which he. disposed of to move to Princeton ; or at least as much of it as had not been converted to ashes by his successors. Mr. Pyman will be very much missed in Princeton where he had begun to make himself one of its most useful citizens. Referring to the recent fatality on the grade, a railway contractor- remarked that it was a very unusual thing to find as many miles of railway built and as much powder used in the building,with as great immunity from serious accident. This he attributed in a measure to the fact that most of the foreigners employed on the work are becoming more accustomed to the use of explosives, and also of modern Harris Bros. Minstrels, 14 people, jail colored*' will'shbw, in Hedley to-night, (jrh,w*si!������-y). m-JO.i/- l >������ ���������: K. G. Hankinson'was x. naiiKiuson was in town" last week. He has been running his con-J str action force on double shift, and while there is a possibility that the track-layers may reach In'in before all his work is done, he is sure that he will have, the main line through in time for them and will stand a fair chance of having the sidings as well, but if he should be a few days' late with the ground for ithe sidings* no loss of time need result' therefrom as the track-layers can find /pien ty/ more work to do to keep them going. Chief Engineer J. H. Kermedy was in town on Tuesday morning. Along with his cheery greeting was the good natured, semi-bojistfnl reminder'"I came up on the train." Mr. Kennedy was proceeding up t\o river to the .country above Otter Flat where, it is said, he.will look up the chances for securinga tunnel route that wilLcut off about 35 miles' of distance and much elevation with ri tunnel something over five miles long. ,This. trip will remind him of earlier experiences in railway engineering, find there are not many of them that have had to take the rough with , the smooth to the extent that he hasr-donc during the past thirty years. ��������� ���������'. ./K'. Messis Barrett ������fc Snyder real estate men of the firm of Barrett & Co. arrived in town on Friday. Last year- Mr. Barrett disposed of a number of lots in a sub-division along the Westminster train line adjoining the city of Westminster to parties in Hedley, and all the purchasers who have taken the pains to investigate their holdings are. well satisfied with the investment. This year he is .selling an acreage subdivision on Burrard Inlet adjoining the old town-site of Port Moodyj into which life has been recently galvanized after the long sleep that followed its passing-by at the hands'of the C. P. R. . I THE BEST 15 NONE TOO GOOD S We endeavour to keep a STOCK of GROCERIES that cannot be excelled by buying the best that can be procured and keeping them always Clean and Fresh.

The holes in the sidewalk at various places in town are a menace to everyone who'may have to make their way about town after night-fall. The editor had an illustration of it a few evenings ago when he narrowly escaped a broken leg as a result of stepping into a hole in the crossing between the Commercial Hotel and. the tailor shop. Fortunately the plankrng there runs lengthways, with the sidewalk,' and and the hole which was about tjvo feet long, resulted from the breaking of about four inches froni the edge of one of the. planks. Thus one who may step into it and fall forward has a chance to escape, but if he should happen to fall sideways, it would certainly result in a broken leg.. There are several other places quite >is bad as this one," and whoever may have the care of the sidewalks should see that repairs are .made before some accident happens and a suit for damages is brought.. ��������� , METEOROLOGICAL. \ General Merchants Hedley, :-: :-: B.

COLONIAL GOLD MINING CO. p. ������������������. ��������� Continued fron'Pagc One. * Of the workings, ��������� the first, visited was the long tunnel on the.Acadia and the big open surface cut above it, which laid bare the out-cropping. This tunnel is in over 100 feet and encountered a strong ore body well defined and heavily mineralized with pyrrhotite, mispickel and chalcopyrite and carrying satisfactory pay values. On the Acacia is the ore body which has been traced farthest and makes a most wonderful showing for the amount of work done. On it is a shaft- about 100 feet in depth, all, ore from top to bottom that has been sampled at various times and never- fails to give an average which quiilifies'it t.o rank as high grade. One of the lowest averages certified to was that of $26.00 per ton by T. D. Pickard, who is known to bo one of the most conservative and cold-blooded mining "men. in the country. . From the bottom .of the. shaft a drift has been run for over 50 feet southwest on the ore body, but unmarked by any wall to show the width which is not known, and this drift gives even higher values than the shaft. The .principal work under way at time-of visit was the running of an adit from the south slope on the Acacia to meet the end of the drift .-.bove referred to. This adit encountered the ore body as soon as ground was broken and is running in good ore all the. time, Only 90 more feet were to drive until it meets the face of the drift. This accomplished, there will then be on the Acacia, with, this .limited amount of work, a well-ventilated mine, with a large ore body blocked out the known values of which will entitle it to take rank as high grade. The third ore body lies between the two already enumerated and in strike all three appear to converge. Time andwork will alone show what relation they .'bear to each other.' The most important thing to know is that they all carry pay values. It is very seldom indeed that any minfng Company is fortunate enough to meet conditions as favorable as this at the very outset. The .buildings are as.yet primitive, but they are conveniently situated in the heavy timber, in the valley to the south with abundance of wood and. water at hand. Tents are used to supplement the log buildings put up by the former-. owners, but before winter- sets in these will be replaced \ with other log buildings to withstand the 'heavy snowfall.. One log building is used for a bunk-house,, and {mother foroffice, laboratory, and store house while the cooking and messing is accommodated in a large mess,tent. Two shifts are worked with a mine forc'evofabbiit-a dozen including the siu-face-nien,' bnt:pthers will" be added from time" to time with increased accommodation. The managing engineer is Mr. Hallet R. Robbius, an experienced mining man, who possesses the requisite technical training and practical experience to make good. He has certainly gone about his work in a manner to inspire confidence- He made an examination of the property before accepting the, position, and after having accepted,, spent several weeks investigating local conditions before a man was taken on the payroll. Surveys of the properties, surface and underground, have been made by him and all guess work so far as it is humanly possible to do so is eliminated. This is the surest way to avoid mistakes. His duties during the early stages of development will have to ���������cover the whole gamut of mine sur- ' veyor, geologist, metallurgist, .bookkeeper etc. and the Company are fortunate in choosing one who is equal to all of them, To the man who must take nature in the rough, adapt himself to his surroundings, endeavor to read the story folded up in the rock masses about him and when this is interpreted, lay his plans to reduce all to rule and order for economic operation, the greatest measure of credit is due. Such a task calls out a man's best powers and tests him at every point. Sometimes it is a thankless task and often after he has done his work and given the mining world another dividend payer he is subjected to carping criticism by men coming after him who could not have clone one quartet' as well. The Company incorporated to develop anil operate the Apex group is the Colonial Gold Mining Co, with headquarters at Manchester N. H. The care which they exercised in the investigation of the title to the property as well as the.merits of the property itself indicates that they are business men, and business men are disponed to adopt business methods. This, then is tlie best guarantee for the successful outcome of the enterprise. We still hold a few lots on the Business Streets which we are offering at the old prices $300 to $#50 per lot, and we have good Residential lots in nearly every pa;rt of the town at prices ranging from $50 lip to $250 per lot.
