" THE GREAT SIMLMEEN.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 \^J\n< A Synoptical Sketch of the\nDistrict We\nLive In.\ntends from Nicola Lake to the Ini\nVei\ni th\nIt was first brought into promin\nby the discovery of placer gold in the\nSimilkameen and fuTCmeen Rivei\n: 1859 and '60. Those discoveries, in\njunction with those of Rock Cceek,\nconsidered to be of such an imports\nthat Sir James Douglas, the then es\nfive, \"commenced the construction\ntrunk road from Fort Hope, which\nto pierce through the Hope range\nwhat is now known as the Boundary and\nKootenay Districts. After building east\nward from Hope 27 miles of mountain\nroad, the completion was made abortive\nby efflux of miners to the Cariboo, caus\ned by the discoveries there, and the general disatisfaction caused by the proposal\nto levy toll to assist in defraying the cc\nof construction. Thus was the^fpi\nthought and sagacious scheme of Gov<\nnor Douglas nullified by events - Ov\nwhich he had no controlVand the cou\ntry which is to astonish the mining\nworld by its richness and varied characteristics, was to be dormant for anothei\ntwo score years, awaiting the competion\nof a scheme eminating from the fertile\nbrain 01 Governor Douglas.\n- In 1885 the district was again inundated by eager gold seekers, brought thither by the discoveries of the gold of Granite Creek. This proved to be of short\nduration, and although a large amount\nof gold was extracted from its auriferous\ngravels, and of those of the Tulameen\nand Similkameen Rivers, little attention\nwas paid to the evidences which could be\nseen on all sides of the wealth to be ob-\ntained from lode mining.\nIt was not until a dozen years later\nI that the quasi development of Copptr\nCjHountain brought hundreds of eager\nI prospectors from the Boundary into the\ndistrict. Then were quickly brought\ninto prominence Kennedy Mountain,\nFriday Creek, Summit City, Roche River, Boulder, Bear, Kelley, Elliot and 20-\nMile camps. These camps present a variety of mineral which no other district\ncan produce. The rich silver-lead ores\nof the Summit City, the copper-gold of\nCopper and Kennedy Mountains, and\nthe rich gold bearing arsenical iron of\nao-Mile, all go to show the wonderful\nmentioned-jihe immense coal areas ofthe\nDistrict, a* of primary1 importance.\nThey comprise the coal basin on which\nPrinceton is built, and those of the Ottei\nand Nicola Rivers, comprising in all in\nthe neighborhood of 300 square miles. 7H1\nBesides these evidences of the e\nences of petreleum have been found,\nlal c\nlikelv\nduring the diamond drill exploration of\nthe coal fields.\nAll these wonderful resources have but\nbeen explored and developed in a cour-\nsory manner, awaiting the investment of\ncopital, which the building of a railroad\nwill make incident.\nBefore the lapse of another year, these\naquiescent conditions of affairs now\nisting in the district will all have disappeared - by the- advent of the railroad,\nwhich everyday creeps closer to\nSIMILKAMEEN-tSTY NOTBSC\nThe wife and family of John \u00E2\u0096\u00BATHlImaii1\nhas arrived here, and have gone to reside\nin there new home.\n' The Sawmill Co. are selling all the product of their mill, and are working steads\nily to fill the demand.\nStreet grading and cleaning will start\nat the latter end of this month.\nFrank Bailley and Ms brother W.

ANDERSON,\nLdvertUing rates furnished on application.\n,c ;.cl notice* 10 and 5 cents per line.\nPRINCETON.\nOur location geographically, as\nthe centre of the Similkameen District, gives us a dominant position\nwhich no other town can hope to\nsupersede. Nature has supplied\nus with an ideal dwelling place,\nsurrounded on three sides by the\nwaters of the two main arteries of |\nthe District, and on all sides by the\nmineral camps to which our destinies are allied.\nSo situated are we that no opposition town can ever hope to take\nfrom us the prominence which attaches to a commercial and distributing centre. We are as if the centre of a compass, representing the\ndistrict, and its points its many\ncamps. Copper Mountain, Kennedy Mountain, Friday Creek, Roche\nRiver, Summit City,.Kelly Creek,\nBear Creek, Boulder Creek, Elliot\nCreek, Granite Creek, the Tulameen, 5-Mile, and 20-Mile, all present a variety of mineral which no\nother district can produce. The\nrich silver-lead ores of the Summit\nCity, the copper-gold of Copper and\nKennedy Mountains, the rich gold\nbearing arsenical iron of 20-Mile,\nfrom which we will draw the sus\ntenance, all point to the future supremacy of Princeton. Thus, if a\nnew town should spring up, it becomes ipso facto tributary to us,\nbecause of its close proximity to\none or other of the numerous camps,\nand to it only can it hope to cater\nor receive support, while to us pay\ntribute the whole.\nThe smelters of the district's ore\nmust necessarily be built here, rather than at any one' camp, because\nbeing equidistant from all, the ore\nwill naturally centre here for treatment, because of the abundance of)\n.coal upon which our town is built,\n.and lastly, because of the shipping\nfacilities which will here be obtain\n.ed. All feasible railway route:\nmust gravitate to this point.'\nThe present C.P.R. route down I*\nMile from Spence's Bridge, is rendered imprtct'cible^bVthe more feasible one of the.Orer and Tulameen,\nand all Coa*\u00C2\u00A3t-Kootenay routes,\nmust enter* here. Nature has so\nordered it. Like Rome, to Princeton must all roads lead.\nIn internal matters nature has\nleft little undone. The townsite is\na level one, gradually sloping with\nthe rivers, rendering the drainage\nproposition a comparatively easy\none. While for water, light and\npower, the rivers and streams present abundance of opportunities for\nthe obtaining.\nTo our citizens is left the holding\nof the dominant position which is\nours. Wemust stand together as\none body with but one object, the\nwelfare of our town.\nThus, by the upholding and furthering the interests of the community, will the success of each individual be achieved, for the interest of each is to the interest of all.\n' FIRE. PRO\nEC!\nDN.\nPrinceton has so far been a fovor-\ned community in the immunity\nwhich it has had from the devouring element which has so often devastated a promising town.\nIt is time, however, that steps\nshould be taken for our mutual protection from fire. Protection we\nA public meeting of our citizens;\nshould at once be called to discuss\nthe question.\nIt is at this season of the year\nthat fires are most likely to occur,\nowing to the character of the buildings. It is mooted that at the\npresent-time we can hope for no\nmore than the formation of a volunteer bucket brigade, with the\nsource of supply of water from riv;\ners and wells.\nThis can be vastly improved upon. Chemical fire appliances can\nbe very cheaply obtained, which\nwould at once check incipient fires,\nand every business man possessing\nsuch would materially reduce the\nrisk. The want of ladders is ' another factor, which should not be\noverlooked. At the present time\nthere are not more than three* ladders in town which would reach\nthe top of a two-story building.\nWhen these can be so very easily\nobtained, all owners of buildings\nshould at once possess them.\nAgain the want of a distinctive\nfire alarm should be filled. A bell\nerected near the centre of the town\nwould, in case of danger, be able to\nconvey its warning notes to all, and\nbecome the means of presenting an\norganized front to the enemy.\nAll these factors are conducive to\nour better protection, and will naturally reduce the cost of insurance.\nWe have had examples on all\nsides. The devastation ot Sandon,\nof. Dawson City, shows that too\ngreat care cannot be exercised in\ntowns constructed of inflamable ma-!\nterial, to ward off this danger. Let\na public meeting be called and action taken in this matter, and obviate the necessity of \"locking the\nstable when the horse is gone.\"\nNOTICE.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"pHIRTY days froiu date I intend to apply to\nOi\ni\n1\nCHAS.
