JONES IS PROMOTED From Mine Superintendent of the Nickel Plate He Takes Full Local Charge of Mine and Works Vernon, B. C. The end of last week had forHedley- ites a new and interesting item of conversation when the chief topic was the change in local management of .the Nickel Plate mine and works. Mr. G. P. Jones tlie superintendent of the mine 'who has seen the property- grow from a few prospect holes and .tunnels in 1900 to its present proud position when it takes rank as the leading gold producer of the province," and who like jEneas of- old can lookback on it all and like hinr exclaim "ET, QUORUM PARS MAGNA FUI" IS elevated to a position which is to be designated General Superintendent of Mines and Works of the' Hedley Gold Mines Co. *: ' The editor was over at Fairview attending the Pioneers' meeting when the word got but and has been unable to learri since how it was given to the public, for it appears that there had been some neglect in the matter of the customary official bulletin ; but never-' theless the news itself was true. As' soon as final transfer is made Mr..' Jones will enter on his new duties, if they can be called new in his case, inasmuch as it has been pretty well understood that so far as the mine is concerned tbe. responsibilities appertaining thereto have for a considerable period rested on his shoulders anyway, and the' Daly estate will probably never know (as they do not appear to have done so in the past) how much they owe him for shielding them, in his own diplomatic way, from the worst cori.sequences of their own reckless folly. The hew office apparently will differ only in name from that which has heretofore borne' the high-sounding title "general manager", except that perhaps the duties 'will be. somewhat 'more strenuous and the powers no less^ In" this change there is evident on the part of the hew owners a slight amount of iconoclastic irreverence for sinecures, inasmuch as the highest- paid billet on the job is practrcally wiped out of existence. But this is only business, and, it was to do the business of mining profitably that;' .they came here. . Mr. Jones has the Gazette's congratulations in securing this position' of trust from men who have had so good ah opportunity to judge: of his work, and we believe he will serve his future employers as faithfully as he has those he has been serving for so J COLONIAL GOLD MINING CO, |G.N.R. SURVEYORS TAKE FIELD. Lays Off Mining Force , at the Apex��������� Diamond Drill and Compressor to be Installed. Last week W. J. Forbes and Ross Allen returned from the Apex where mining "operations were suspended pending the introduction of machinery. The work during the summer months was reported satisfactory by representatives of the company and it is their intention now todo the remaining exploratory work which they have in view and also the necessary develop- ment.with machinery. The near approach of winter Avhich in that locality is atterrded with considerable depth of snow, and the amount of work to be done before a mining plant could be properly installed and housed, made it inadvisable" for them to undertake it this fall and, hence the decision to defer it until next year.- The last week's work bad been the most successful of all in the matter of showing up the ore. The adit being driven to connect with the bottom of the shaft on the Acacia was into a fine body of excellent ore and other surface work had' also been most satisfactory. Evidently the Colonial people an; sufficiently impressed with the merits of the property they have got hold- of, to warrant them to lay their plans for future operations on a scale that will save time and money for them.

The Visit of the President will be Feature of Next Week. many years past. CANADA'S FIRE BILL FOR 1968 Some Figures Compiled by the Forestry Branch to Show What Carelessness is Costing Us. The forestry branch of the interior department at Ottawa has issued an interesting bulletin dealing with the damage caused by forest fires in Canada in 1908. The bulletin, which was prepared by H. R. McMillan, assistant inspector of Forest reserves, shows that during the year 835 forest fires of serious proportions occurred in the Dominion, upward of 188,000 acres were burned over-, causing the destruction of over 56,000,000 feet of timber, valued, including mills and improve- ments.at $25,500,000. Twenty-one lives were lost as a result of the forest fires (all in British Columbia), and 2404 persons were thrown out of employment. The cost of the fires to the public was nearly $300,000. Quebec province headed the list with 250 fires. British Columbia came second with 235. In Quebec, however, the value of the timber destroyed was very slight. In British Columbia 40,000,000 feet were destroyed at .a loss.of $25,- ip0,000, or over 90 per cent, of the to- Seattle, Sept. 22.���������The visit of President Taft will be a feature of the week from Monday, September 27th to Sunday, October 3rd, at the Alaska- Yukbn-Pacific Exposition. According to" A. D. Charlton, assistant general passenger, agent of' the Northern Pacific, the travel to the Fair will reach its highest .point during this week. , A brilliant programme, has been planned; [for . President' Taft's visit, Thursday. He: will be banqueted in the New York State building, escorted through the Exposition grounds in a magnificent automobile parade, arid tendered an elaborate reception in the ���������Washington State building in the evening. The president will address the people of the Northwest in the natural amphitheatre of the fair, which seats 17,000 people, in the afternoon. After the reception in the evening -Mr. Taft has consented to ride tlie goat as an initiate into the Arctic brotherhood. One' hundred other candidates will be admitted into the northern order along with the president. The opening of the livestock show on Monday to be continued until October 9th, will be the largest event of the programme of the last month at the Exposition. More than two thousand head of'thoroughbred stock have been entered, and in the poultry department more than five thousand birds and fifteen hundred pigeons. The facilities for the handling of the livestock are the rrrost modern that have; ever been provided at any Exposition, over $100,000 having been expended. On Monday Chief Eegineer J. H. Kennedy arrived in town with Mr. C. F. Russel, a locating engineer who came in from Spokane, and proceeded up the river bound for the summit of the Coquihalla from which the party will work towards Princeton in a revision of the line located about three years ago. Mr. Russel's party will consist of fifteen or sixteen men, with Arthur Black as level-man, and another transit man and draughtsman are, expected in from St. Paul in a day or two. A. R. Green will be chef and look after that part of the expedition. This circumstance does not look particularly hopeful for the' tunnel project nor does it go to confirm the rumors of any contracts having been let beyond Princeton, for it is not at all likely that anything can be done in that direction until a revise of the location is made and approved. If they were going on with the tunnel at the present time they would not be disposed to put in any more time along the Otter River nor go skying after any of those passes up in the Cascades, about which there has been so much discussion. Of course the Great Northern have been building and running railroads long enough to be supposed to know what is be.st for them, but even if they now take the roundabout route by the West Fork of the Otter and go over the summit near the headwaters of the Coldwater and tbe Coquihalla which rivers flow in opposite directions, it is a very sure thing that if they attach any strategic importance to the V. V. & E. as a route to the British Columbia coast, they will yet drive, this tunnel which will cut off thirty miles in distance as well as lowering the grade very materially. Meanwhile it is reassuring to see a force of engineers at work revising the line as it shows that completion of the unbuilt portion between Princeton and Hope is beginning to loom up larger in the minds of the authorities at St. Paul. The 13th annual meeting of the Kettle' River and South Okanagan Pioneers' society took place-at Fair- view on Friday 17th at the Golden HAS SERVED A PURPOSE Germany's Hostility .to G*-eat Britain Largely Responsible for Unifying Influences Now at Work A BIG LAWSUIT Moreton Frewen Sues for Breach of Contract in Sale of 1000 Lots jtbe^il loss by fire in Canada. The de- J! *> I K x H x X g n All the wants of tho travollhig public carofully attended to. ������ sTiruction by fire in Manitoba and Alberta was very light, but in Saskatchewan timber valued at over $20,000 was burned. The heavy loss in British Columbia was due to the great fire in the Crow's Nest Pass country, which destroyed Ferriie and entailed a heavv loss of life. A fire on Vancouver- island it is estimated, caused the destruction of 21,000,000 feet of timber. Moreton Frewen, the eminent English bimetalist. has entered suit on behalf of himself and an English syndicate against the Grand Trunk Pacific Tow'nsite and Development Company for breach of contract in the sale of 1000 Prince Rupert lots. Mr. Frewen's claim is that he was to be allowed to pick and choose the lots for himself, but found that he was allowed to exercise no choice, further that the prices for the lots were to be the upset prices as fixed for the public auction. The prices named by the company were, however, those which obtained at the auction and while the conten- tion was proceeding the lots were put upon the market at Prince Pupert and sold to other buyers. .(British Calforniari) Germany's hostility turns out to be the greatest of blessings to the mother country and to the British .Empire. The Kaiser's threat to wrest from Britannia the sceptre of the sea has brought about in a day that British Imperial unity which has been prayed for and worked for by patriots for long years with slow progress. That sentiment which was created by the events of the South African war has been developed into definite action by Germany's challenge. There is no mistaking the earnestness, or the value, of a colonial co-operation that tenders Dreadnoughts, and raises, equips and maintains regiments of soldiers for service under the flag anywhere. The British Empire is now one country, one people, so far as the outside world is concerned���������and the most powerful on land as well as on the water. And peaceful prosperous ditys are before it, for it is in a position to successfully resist any interference with its natural and glorious progress. If it were permissable to be grateful to another for his enmity, British gratitude would be due Germany, for that country has, unwittingly but nevertheless effectively, proved to be Britain's greatest friend. The lesson of mutual dependence was not to be learned by mother country and colonies by any amount of reasoning and picturing within the family, it seems, but had to be forced upon them by a great common danger threatening without. Germany is thwarted, her hopes blasted, but her vain ambition has served a purpose. Let us hope a not less worthy purpose than if her ambition had been realized. Gate Hotel. As most of the members of the society reside in the Boundary district and the Similkameen Valley the selection of Fairwiew as tbe place of meeting effected the attendance somewhat) for with the lay-over at Oroville , necessitating the loss of three days from the Boundary and almost as much for those in the .Similkameen, the conditions were not favorable for a large turnout. F.'Riehter, president, occupied the- chair and about an hour sufficed for- the business in hand, which consisted of the introduction of a few more names for membership and the election of officers. The officers chosen for the ensuing year were: President���������Frank Richter Secretary���������A. Megraw Treasurer���������J. R. Jackson Vice-Presidents ��������� I. L. Deardorff, Similkameen; D. Carmiehael, Okanagan ; Hugh Cameron, Camp Mc? Kinney; S. T. Larsen, Kettle River; J. W. Nelson, Greenwood; P. T. Mc- C-illum, Grand Forks; Jno. McLaren, Carson. The place of meeting for next year was fixed for Greenwood. The notice of motion given at last meeting for admission of lady members who could qualify on the score of residence,/ did not come up in regular- form owing to absence of mover, Jas. C. Dale; and as he had made no provision for the matter by delegating the . duty to any other member, it was not acted upon. Nevertheless the matter was discussed informally, the Similka- . lu.ee'n members combating, the opposition which had formerly existed on the part of Boundary 'members, and citing the case of last years's meeting at Keremeos when the proceedings were conducted throughout in a manner which left no reason for exclusion of the women folk, several of whom are resident in the Similkameen to-day who have borne their \ share of early hardships and crowned their efforts with as great a measure of success as most of the men folk. Greater in fact than inmost cases, for with ..'industry and business talent, more careful habits and better lives they husbanded their resources where others squandered. . The Kettle River and South Okanagan Pioneers Society should have a place for the women who shared the toils of pioneering days and any false conception of conviviality which would exclude them is a form of selfishness of which objectors will feel ashamed if they will only take the trouble to think about it a little. Another matter- effecting the status of the society was the collection of historical data bearing upou the early settlement of the district. That is a. duty resting upon those of us who have seen old conditions pass away and a newer- order overtaking us; and the Kettle River and South Okanagan Pioneers' Society will be recreant to their trust if they do not grapple with it in the manner in which they should. If this and similar avenues of usefulness that lie open to them be not pursued, but the precious present frittered away in a butterfly existence given over wholly to conviviality, then why perpetuate its existence? On.the other hand the membership of tbe society is open to all worthy persons who were residents of the .district prior to 1896 (which is not a hard qualification) and all those who would like to see some good . object of this kind accomplished -by the society, should not selfisblv hold aloof, but should send in their names for membership. The joining fee is only $5.00 and an annual subscription thereafter of $2.00 which no one would feel. BANQUET In the evening the annual dinner was held at the Golden Gate Hotel and an excellent spread was served by Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jones. At the close of the dinner a little impromptu programme of toasts was carried out, under the direction of tho president. Concluded en Pago -Four.

For several, weeks past, the press of the western states has been full of the issue between Pinchot and Ballinger which became a veritable cause CELEBRIS. The former stood for conservation ; the latter championed corporate interests that would not stop at spoliation of the land regardless of the consequences, if, it should be part of their plan to convert natural' resources into green-backs with which to line their pockets. The most encouraging feature, of it is . the growing sentiment that is lining up behind Pinchot while Ballinger is made to feel that public sentiment is against him. ! over by lumber, concerns, creat- I ed a state of affairs that has be- . come a menace.

The broad term "conservation" might be best defined by narrowing it to the word "forestry," for when the natural forests are properly conserved the rainfall, water supply, absence of silting and all in that line is also conserved. Streams that years ago had sufficient water all the year round to supply a fixed amount of power, have been gradually failing in the dry seasons as the wood was'being stripped from their Avatersheds, and auxiliary steam plants have been necessary to help out. Preserve the forests and you preserve all the rest. In Canada it is only within the past few years that the people have been awakening to the importance of the question, and the Canadian Forestry Association wa.s formed. Unfor- fortunateJy, though' it has become a case of locking the stable door after the horse had been stolen, for the millions of dollars' worth of timber that has been destroyed by forest fires, has meant a very serious national loss nnd lessened the timber resources of the country to an alarming degree.

Minister of Trade and Commerce and leader of the Senate, is visiting his son in Vancouver, Dr. C. Cartwright, after taking the waters of Harrison Hot Springs. In pre-G.P.R. days Sir Richard was much abused for referring to British Columbia as a "sea of mountains:,"' a phrase of which he is reputed to be the author. British Columbians are not now inclined to resent it as a term of disparagement as they were then. They are rather pleased with it.���������Keremeos Chronicle. Either the Chronicle is in error as to the expression: "sea of mountains'' or the Gazette's recollection of things political, is astray. The opprobrious epithet "sea' of mountains" was not given to British Columbia by Sir Richard Cartwright but by Hon. Edward Blake in his speech against the government's policy of building tlie first transcontinental railway. Neither was it so much the mere term "sea of mountains" which was resented by British Columbia, but the connection 'in which it was used, for Blake said "British Columbia is a sea of mountains and a railway there will not pay the grease for the wheels." That was the estimate which our Liberal friends placed on British Columbia at that time. The expression "sea of mountains" did not originate with Blake, but seems to have been coined by the late Principal Grant who first used it poetically in the pages of his book "Ocean to LAURIER, BORDEN and HOPE Mineral claims, situate in the Osoyoos Mining Division of Yale District.

The material'got alone" in time .for building operations, but the change in the location disarranged the plans, and hence it was here before the necessary grading on the east site had been done. The material also had1' been .hauled in -on. foreign ca'rs' and these could not be held, but had to be unloaded and returned with as little delay as possible. On this account the ungraded station site was not the place on which to unload material. that would only have to be moved again to'.>be out of the way of the graders. The intention, we believe; is to locate the station as far up towards Twenty-mile as they can and use tlie spur to the mill as rear track for the station. This would locate the station further >west than where the lumber has been unloaded, but it can't be too far up to, suit the town. ; : Local New Laid Eggs arid Fresh Princeton Butter Always ton hand. hatfords Ltd.

"I^^WWWRPI^H^WrWP' BUY HEDLEY PROPERTY NOW FORESTS AND GAME Every Interest Gives a Separate Reason For Maintaining- Forest Reserves Mr, J. P. Turner secrct-uy (f the Manitoba Game Protective Association dealt with the subject of forest reserves in relation to game protection. He pointed out that in conserving the forests the preservation of the game must not be overlooked, because if you deplete a country of its forests not only will you detract from its productiveness and attractiveness but you destroy its game, which forms a valuable means of recreation. ��������� Some examples exist of Avhat intelligent and systematic game, protection will produce not only in providing one of the best forms of outdoor recreation, but also in providing a revenue for the state of no small proportions. Some years ago game was so scarce in the State of Maine that it was hardly worth while organizing outings in "its'pursuit. Today not,'only is Maine provided wrth game of all kinds in abundance, but also one of the largest revenues is derived from game licenses. '. This wonderful trarrsforuuitien is due to the earnest efforts of a few men who have 'aroused public opinion and proved -'to: the legislators the value of systematic protection. Game cannot be protected without providing ample tracts of forest as game refuges. Canada is particularly fitted to provide from the Atlantic to the Pacific game preserves which will not interfere with agriculture or other industries but which will on the other hand enhance these. If forest reserves and game refuges are combined Canadians Avill be able to hunt the Avild game existing today long after it has disappeared from other parts of the continent. If such refuges are not provided game animals and game birds as well as songsters and insectivorous birds of value to the country, at the present rate of decrease will all have disappeared in tlie next fifty years. While there is yet time it is incumbent upon all interested in the future welfare of Canada to arouse themselves to prevent such a national calamity and to pass on this great heritage to those who come after. We still hold a few lots on the Business Streets which we are offering at the old prices $300 to $450 per lot, and we have good Residential lots in nearly every part of the town at prices ranging from $50 up to $250 per lot. With the railroad rapidly approaching and new mines being opened all around us you cannot expect to buy lots at these prices much longer. 0" Better Secure Some Right Now, Before the Price Goes Up. m Call or Write, arid get full particulars.
