No. 3.\nPRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1910.\n$2 a Year in Advance\nREVIEW OF WINING\nDaily News Special Edition\nShows Steady Progress\nin Province.\nPrinceton and District Favorably\nCompare in Development and\nBright Prospects.\nTh.e Nelson Daily News, with charac\nteristic energy and enterprise, has issued\na special mining edition containing a\nmass of information regarding the mining industry generally throughout the\nprovince. The work of collaborating the\nmaterial for this valuable edition de\nvolved upon editor Jacobs, the well\nknown mining authority, who has again\nshown his capacity for colossal work of\nthis kind and laid the province under a\ndebt of gratitude for his eminent ser\nvices. The Similkameen occupies large\nspace in the edition, a few extracts from\nwhich are given, as follows:\nPush Railway Construction.\n\" Perhaps the most important informa\ntion there is to chronicle concerning\njjprbgress in the vicinity of Princeton is\ncontained in the following communication kindly sent by James H. Kennedy,\nassistant chief engineer of the V.,V. &\njE.'an response to a request for information. He says : 'We have the track laid\nto the coal mine of the Vermilion Forks\nCo. and they intend to place their coal\non the market at once. The spur is\n4000 feet in length. A spur is also under\nconstruction to the He lley Gold Mines\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Co's mill at Hedley for the purpose of delivering to them coal from Princeton.\nWe expect to push the work of construe\ntion up the Tulameen river in the near\nfuture.'\"\nV.F.M. Co's Coal Mine.\n\" After years of waiting residents in\nthe interior of the big Similkameen district now have the intense satisfaction of\nseeing railway trains running into and\nout of their part of the province. The\nVermilion Forks Co. foreseeing this some\nmonths ago engaged Charles Graham, an\nexperienced coal mine manager aud for\nsome time underground manager of the\nWester'ri FueT\"Cb.. Nanalmo; Mr. Graham has been good enough to contribute\nthe following notes on the Princeton coal\nmine at the request of the wiiter of this\nreview: \l/\n\"The only property in the vicinity of\nPrinceton in a position to shin coal is\nthat owned by the Vermilion Forks Co.\nThere are two seams of coal, the upper\nseam being about six feet in thickness.\nA prospect tunnel was driven into this\nseam several years ago. About 50 feet\nbelow the Similkameen river bridge the\nlower seam crops out in the bank and in\nthe bed of the river. An adit level has\nbeen driven in this seam almost due east\non its strike for a distance of 622 feet.\nUpon the bench above the river a slope\npitching about 18 deg., has been put\ndown through the overlying gravel and\nthis struck the coal at 154 feet At 60\nfeet west and 150 feet south of the mouth\nof the slope a small shaft, 8x8'feet was\n.sunk and connected to the slope and the\nadit level.\nGood Domestic and Steam Coal.\n\" The coal is lignitic in character and\nvarious tests show it to be well suited for\ndomestic and steaming purposes. The\nlower seam is divided into two benches.\nThe top bench is about 8 feet thick arid\nfree from dirt or slate : below this there\nis from two to three feet of fireclay. Un-\nerlying the fireclay is about 13 feet of\ncoal. This bottom bench has several\nsmall bands of clay varying from ^ in.\nto 2 inches in thickness, but it is free\nfrom bone. The company is erecting a\ntipple and putting in a plant to handle\nan output of 400 tons per day. The chief\nmarket for this coal will be in the Boundary country and south to Spokane. No\ngreat amount of development has yet\nbeen done in the mine but thert is suf\nficient to give an output of about 100\ntons per day to commence with.\"\nCopper Mountain and Whipsaw.\nOn Copper mountain, and in other\nparts of the district around Princeton,\nthere are numerous mineral claims, some\nof which have been prospected sufficiently to expose ore in considerable quantity,\nbut no particulars of recent date are\navailable for the purposes of this review.\nTwo months ago a report was published\nin the press to the effect that negotiations\nwere in progress for the sale of the. United\nEmpire group, on One-Mile creek, owned\nby W. C. McDougall and associates.\nLast summer the Similkameen Star published an account of the reported discovery ot silver lead ore on the Whipsaw.\nMr. Camsell, in his report, mentioned\nthat the Reco mineral claim had been\nsteadily worked for a year and a half;\nthat the Gladstone, on Friday Creek, had\nbeen further prospected ; and that there\nwere claims on Five-Mile and Roche\nriver which the owners considered sufficiently promising to warrant the expenditure of a considerable amount of money\nin development.\nPlatinum and Other Metals.\nThe property at the head of Bear creek\nin the Tulameen district, known as the\nIndependence group, that was prospected continuously for more thau two years\neither by the Granby company or some\nof its prominent shareholders on their\nown account, is about the most promin\nent in this part of the country. Particulars have been received of a group of\nclaims on Coutney mountain, nine miles\nwest of Otter Flat, described as contain-\nLOCAL AND GENERAL\nBeautiful Winter Weather with\nGood Sleighing and\nFine Skating,\nBuildings to be Erected and Business\nProspects Brightening as Days\nare Lengthening.\nContinued on 3rd page.\nMr. and Mrs. Waterman left for Spokane yesterday on the 2:30 express.\nGeo.

He was among the early arrivals in Princeton some q or 10 years\nlaglSZbnt got tired waiting for the rail\nway and left, saying he would riot return\nuntil he could ride into town on a pull-\nman. He came in on the regular train\nthe other day and was amazed at the\nprogress and development observed. He\nhas never lost faith in Princeton and will\neventually make this place his home.\nMr. McAlpine has prospered materially in the Okanagan having been concerned with irrigation schemes and bis\ninvestments proved profitable, also in\nhome life he is happy and blessed with a\nbunch of little ones. Summerland is\nincorporated, has an nptodate newspaper,\nis issuing $250,000 in debentures for light\nand waterworks, has sidewalks and streets\nmacadamized with shale.\nfe&aiftr\nLIKES OUR CLIMATE.\nGeorge N. Gartrell, of Summerland,\nwas a recent visitor to Princeton, having\ncome to spy out the land for investment\nand other business. It is his first visit\nand he quickly saw the immense possibilities of a country so fertile in mineral\nand other resources. His people are\namong the oldest and most respected\nfamilies in the Okanagan and grow great\nquantities of fruit. With the building '\nof the Kettle Valley railway connection\nwill be made between Princeton and\nSummerland, when the interchange of\nfruit and coal will begin, Mr. Gartrell\nis pleased with onr climate and enjoyed\nsleigh riding.\n WIPJU'. mmn\n^\nThe most-im; ortaol\nthing to be decided at the polls, will\nbe the constitutional reform of the\nhouse of lords.

Equal rights and privileges to all; the burden of taxation laid upon all in fair proportion;\nfree imported food and self-government for Ireland on the lines of our\nprovincial governments, are some\nof the questions the Liberals propose to settle if returned to power.\nThe Conservatives promise tariff\nreform and taxed imported food ff\nthey are returned, their leader preferring to 'prescribe when he is\ncalled in,' as he puts it, on other\nmatters. Liberals throughout the\nEmpire will wish success to the\ncause of the people in their struggle against oppression and wrong.\nVariety of Rigs\u00E2\u0080\u0094Good Roadsters-\nBig Stables\u00E2\u0080\u0094Courteous Attention\nto all Customers.\nMOMKELDS GARRISON\nProprietors\nFire, Life and\nAccidental\nInsurance H\nINSURE NOW: You Don't\nKnow what to=morrow\nmay bring forth.\nNOTICE.\n.THE KETTLE RIVER VALLEY RAILWAY\nCO. will apply to the Parliament of Canada at its\nnext session for an Act authorizing the construction of an extonsion of its line from a point on\nits authorized railway near Coldwater kiver, by S\nthe most feasible route to the navigable waters I\nof the Fraser River, in the Province of British \\nColumbia^ for an extension ot time for the com-1\nmencement and completion of its railway line j\nheretofore authorized by the Parliament ofl\nCanada, and for other purposes.\nE.
