Bukr Counsel PENTICTON, ' This week the people of. Hedley are having presented to them one of the best and most legitimate advertising schemes that could possibily be devised. .Ihe. Dominion Government .in its exhibition at the Panama-Pacific Exposition is to make a special feature of acomplete mineral ��������� collection comprising the ores :and specimens found in Canada. ,With; a vit-AV to making tjhe collection complete-and thoroughly representative-.>ir. JVm. Thomlinson, late of the Provincial Bureau of Mines,-has been appointed official collector for the commission placed by the Dominion ..Government in charge of_ the forestry, fishery and .mineral exhibit.?-; .7 . . _��������� . ;. - .In.pursuit of his duties Mr. Thomlinson has.made an ;extensive canvas of ..the province..'. .He, ' has already covered the. -northern',,and. central sections. Last Aveek he' toured the Boundary country and this Aveek is being- devoted to the Similkameen Valley. .. ������������������. . uTnconversation ..with "the Gazette Mr. Thoijnlinson particularly emphasized the point as all exspense. even to local haulage ��������� AA-as . assumed .by the government.it.,was a golden .opportunity for the people of B. G. in each locality to make sure that their locality Avas adequately represented. According to Mr. Thomlinson instructions specimen's Avhich may be of anyreasonable size should be packed in cases as sacks permit too much and movement and shipped C. O.

Hoivever, any of bur local chum owners who contemplate contributing to the collection had"better^i'S-^consmlt irf^HrHFrench* whom Mr. Thomlinson has instructed to receive specimens for crating in large quantities. In. this, way the month iri Fraternity Hall.

Printed labels, further information etc., may be obtained from Mr. French. ';���������.'.������������������".;'��������� ���������'] >. Let us repeat that the entire expense of, this project is being borne by the government, and, as the specimens are to be sent to the Panama- Pacific Exsposition and retained thereafter by the ���������government for purposes of exhibition, it offers the best opportunity to advertise the camp that we have had.in many years. Everyone who -has- a dollar invested in the town is directly interested.,. Let Hedley do its part in making the collection from this locality a thoroughly representative one.

Copper Mountain INTRODUCTION , , Copper Mountain is. a mineralized district on the east sitie of the Similkameen. river about. 10��������� miles south of the tiiwn of,Princeton.. A- brief preliminary examination, of thi= field was made in the summer of 1906 and a re.- port of it is contained, in the Report No. 980 of the Geologidal Survey, Preliminary Report 011 ti Pait of the Similkameen District. , For several years pl-evious to 1006, prospecting and development- Avork in this district Avere actively carried on, but since that, time it has remained dormant and because most, of the claims are GroAvn-'granted, OAvners have not been obligeri to do even the annual assesuient work.' In 1911, lioAveA*er, interest was revived by the entry into the district'of the British Columbia Copper Company Avho took options on and have' been exploring a large group of claims situated on both sides of Wolf creek. This Avork has been actively carried on .by a large staff of men both by sinking and drifting on the ore bodies and by Llieiise of diamond drills. The Copper Mountain district lies in, and has the characteristic topographic features of, the Interior Plateau region.. It is round-topped, Avooded . mountain sloping steeply Avestward .to the deep canyon-like valley of Similkameen river and cut into on the east by the broad: flaring valley of Wolf creek. At the north end. is Smelter .lake, a deep, narrow lake about li miles long and a few hundred feet in width. The highest point in the district is Copper moun- nearly 4,300 feet!,above sea-level. Points immediately to the east, however, reach greater elevations. The lowest point is the bed of Similkameen river to the west of the mountain, which. has an altidude of 2,600 feet. The vertical' relief is, therefore, about 1,900 feet. The Avhole district is covered by an open forest groAAth of fir, spruce, and pine, and a great part of it is drift-covered so that much of the surface prospecting- has to be done byjti-enching.aiid sinking pits. Vwigt's Camp, which is situated on Wolf Creek and is the central point of the district, is connected Avith Princeton by a good Avagon road'12i miles in length. THE NICKEL PLATE DANCE Cookhouse Opened by An Enjoyable Hop PROTECT. THE FORESTS Last Friday evening the opening of the neAv cook and mess house at the Nickel, Elate Avas celebrated bv one of the, most succcessful dances ever held on the hill. _ Those who have not been iip at the mine for some time Avere met Avith-a genuinely pleasant surprise in the large, roomy electric- lighted hall with a dancing floor equal if not supeiior to anything Ave have in Hedley. The one draivback, if any, Avas that the hall seemed almost too large for the size of the assembly, not a very serious fault, so long as the musicians AA't-re equal to the .occasion, Avhich they proved themselves to be. A piano had been taken up from town and the services of the Hedley Band Orchestra secured���������in fact everything possible had been done to insure good music, Avith moht gratifying results. The dancing began at nine o'clock and continued, with a short inter- missiou for supper, until four in the morning. Thesupper itself Avas quite in.keeping with the high order of entertainment which the, boys ahvays try to provide for their guests, and the dance Avas voted a thoroughly enjoyable affair by those Avho Avere present.
