C. Portland Cement Company,\nof Princeton, have at last been\nwound lip by order of the court and\nthe liquidator and reeeiver discharged, says the Penticton Herald.\nFor some time it was hoped that\nthe company, which had already\ninvested about $400,000 in the enterprise, would be able to pull\nthrough and that the shareholders\nwould realize on their investment,\nbut the court ordered that the assets be sold, and the result of this\nsale provided only sufficient funds\nto pay the expenses ot liquidation\nand preferred claims. There remains nothing for the bondholders\nor unsecured creditors.\nLike many other enterprises the\nfailure of the B.C. Portland Cement\nCompany can be traced to the lack,\nof sufficient capital in the early\nstages of development. Later when\nan attempt was made to interest\nmore money, the conditions had so\nchanged on account of the war\nthat it was found impossible to secure the necessary funds. A considerable amount of local capital\nwas invested in the concern.\nEstimable Lady Passes Away\nThe death of Mrs. Smith, wife of\nVan. H.

J. SMYTH. Manager.\nPRINCETON, MARCH 2, 1917\nA Separate War\nShould the United States enter\nthe war it is improbable that an\nAmerican soldier will fire a- shot\nat a German soldier while the war\nlasts. Nevertheless, the adherence\nof the United States to the cause of\nthe Allies would be important. It\nwould tend to hasten the end of\nwar, but that end is already in\nsight, no matter what action may\nbe taken at Washington. Just\n\"what military measures the United\nStates could take against Germany\nis a matter of speculation. Friends\nof the Entente must hope that\nthese measures will be few. They\ndo not want to see the United\nStates making such exertions\nagainst the Central Powers that it\nwould be entitled to sit with Britain\nand France and Italy and Russia\naround the council board when\n.final terms of peace are being\ndecided.\nIf the United States wants to go\nto war with Germany, let it do so,\nand let it wage against Germany\nthe sort of war it is capable of.\nWhen it has attained its ends,\nvindicated American rights, and\navenged murdered Americans it\ncan make its own peace with Germany, in the meantime the Entente\nAllies will continue to wage their\nown war against Germany.   When\nay have achieved their ends they\nwill give Germany the peace conditions that seem proper to them.\nThis day may come before or after\nthe day in which American honor\nand American interests have been\nmaintained.

Considerable development work has\nbeen done, and it is estimated that\nseveral million tons is actually\nblocked out on these claims. At\nSechart on Barkley Sound there is\na good deposit of Bessemer iron\nore traceable on the surface for approximately two miles and situated\nonly one and one-half miles from\nsalt water. One claim is estimated\nto contain 2,000,000 tons of ore\nfrom 62 to 70 per cent metallic\niron.\nOn Quatsino Sound, also West\nCoast, there is a large deposit of\nbog iron or limonite running from\n48 to 50 per cent metallic iron.    It\nhas been estimated there are 10,-\n000,000 tons of bog iron in these\nclaims. It is a steam shovel proposition, and it is estimated] that\nthe ore can be mined and transported to nearest shipping harbor\nfor 70 cents per ton.\nLarge deposits of magnetite are\nin the vicinity of Campbell lake.\nThis ore assays 66.9 per cent metallic iron with slight traces of sulphur and phosphorus and absolutely free from titanium. Samples\nwere submitted to Sheffield experts\nwho pronounced it the best they\nhad ever seen, and that it could be\ntreated for eight shillings per ton\nless than the best Norwegian  ores.\nOn Texada island is one of the\nlargest deposits of magnetic iron in\nthe province. It is high-grade\nmagnetite assaying over 66 per\ncent metallic iron.\nOn Knights Inlet, Smiths Arm\nand Deans Channel, also on the\nQueen Charlotte Islands are found\nlarge deposits of magnetite iron,\nwhich some day will figure largely\nin the industrial development of\nthe province.\nAt Copper river there is a\nhematite deposit, and it is estimated several million tons of red\nhematite assaying 52 per cent\nmetallic iron are blocked out.\nCoal is found close to the deposit.\nThe Grand Trunk Pacific had a\nsurvey made of a railway to tap\nthis section. So far the best showing of hematite ore is found in the\nChilcoten district.\nThe best known deposit in the\ninterior is that on Fenwick mountain known as the Bull River Iron\nmines, a micacious hematite assaying 60 per cent metallic iron.\nThere are deposits of iron at\nDeer Park on the Arrow lakes;  al\nso near Kamloops, In the Similkameen there are big deposits; also\non Pit lake, and bog iron is found\nnear Sumas and other points on\nthe Fraser river. Beds of bog and\nlimonite have been found near\nHarrison lake, but no reliable information is obtainable regarding\ntheir value.\nMining Notes\nThe Beco, of Chesaw, shipped a\ncar of gold ore to the Granby\nsmelter last week.\nE.

He has joined the\nCanadian engineers and is now in\ntraining camp at St. Johns, Que.\nSapper Houghton has been engaged\nin the mining business in the\nBoundary for some years and was\nat the Jewel mine when it was\noperated by the English company\nwhich owns it.

The\nband was in attendance, and the Duke of\nDevonshire entered to music well blown\nfrom all of the brasses. The speech from\nthe throne was long; it had to be given\nin the two official languages. Tbe band\nwaited outside and the instruments froze.\nWhen the duke and staff emerged the\nband leader raised his hand, but there\nwas little doing. The drums were on\nthe job and that was about all. The big\near filling horns had succumbed to\nclimatic influence. All who have had\ntheir pipes frozen this winter will sympathize with the situation. Alcohol would\nhave saved the music, but Ontario is\ndry.\u2014Ottawa Journal.\n-WATER NOTICE\n[Use and storage ]\nTAKE NOTICE that G. M. Allison\nand H. H. Thomas, whose address is\nPrinceton, B.
