No. 38.\nPRINCETON, B.C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER. 16, 1908. $2 a Year, in Advance.\nREPAIRING THE ROADS.\nGeo. Goldsborongh has been doing a\n. lot of necessary work on the main trunk\nroad toward Hedley with his gang of\nskilled roadbuilders. The cribbing on\nthe riverside and the revetment work on\nthe upper side of the road near Holmes'\nflat are of substantial workmanship and\nwill will preserve the roadbed. The\n.\"loop\" below Bromley's has been cut\nout and a troublesome piece of road thus\ndone away. Foreman Goldsborongh will\nput in a bridge at the \"36\" on the Hope\nirail, something that travellers will appreciate. Foreman Gibson has started\nwork on the Five-Mile road with a, gang\nof practical men in this line. G. Murdoch is building a road to his ranch by\nwhich a much lighter grade will be obtained than bv the old route.\nOPTIMISM THAT COUNTS.\n,L. A. Mnnley, ot Mauley & Swanson,\nproprietors of the Great Northern hotel,\nwas in town a few days recently on a\nbusiness visit. He has large interests in\nvarious parts of the country, at present\nmaking his headquarters *in Coleman,\nAlberta. He repons the wheat crop at\n1'incher, in that section, as averaging 45\nbushels to the acre. Coalman is noted\nfor coal and its product, coke. Business\nis good; The people are prosperous.\nHe predicts similar conditions, only on\na larger scale, when, the payroll reaches\nPrinceton. With the vast diversified resources tributary to it the outlook is very\nencouraging. Mr. Manley suits action to\nhis word. The enlargement \"f the Great\nNorthern to double its capacity, with\ngood accommodation for all classes of\ntravellers, proves that Messrs. Manley &\nTwanson have an abiding faith in the\nlown. Other improvements and other\ninvestments will be made by the firm as\nthe times warrant.\nLABOR DAY AT HEDLEY.\nThe Labor Day celebration at Hedley\nwas a grand success and was witnessed\nby visitors from all over the district and\nas far away as Spokane. The rock drilling contest proved the most interesting\nevent, being won by Griffin and Trimble,\n30 5-16ins., $150 ; second, Bowerman aud\nCpnnolly, 24 15-16 ins ,'$50 ; third, Carlson and Waddell, 23^ inches. The last\nteam was unfortunate in having much\nbroken steel. In baseball Hedley won\n5, Princeton, o; Hedley, 7, Nighthawk,\no. In the horse races Garrison's Baldy\nshowed a clean pair of heels to them all\nand brought back to Princeton'a nice\nbunch .of prize monev. Dame . Fortune\nsmiled on a couple of the bo}rs and all\nthings considered Priuceton made good\nat the sports.\nRECO, SOON A MINE\nTrials of Patience and Ingenuity in Developing\nThis Mine.\nTunnel Would Greatly Assist in De\nvelopment and Production on\nCopper Mountain.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Messrs. Avery & Avery report that all\nthe houses on their list for rent have been\ntaken. Inquiries for others have been\nreceived.\ni Development work on the Reco, Copper Mountain, is ' still)) in progress after\nabout two years of continuous work.\nThe difficulties and obstacles encountered\nare but a repetition, of the history of all\nmining effort in advance of the railway,\nDiscouragement in unforseen natural\nconditions of the ground that might have\nbeen obviated with the aid of machinery\nand disheartening delays arising from\nvarious 'causes were met with in the\nwork on the Reco. But the perseverance\nand energy with which the superintendent, J. E. McCauley, has prosecuted the\nwork leaves no room to doubt that a great\nmine will be found if tbe indications are\ntrustworthy and he carries out proposed\noperations. ; -\u00E2\u0096\u00A0-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n: The tunnel on which Mr. McCauley\nhas concentrated his hopes and most of\nhis labor is now driven 230 feet. The\ncountry rock was of almost impenetrable\nhardness, defying steel in a very provoking way. Good ventilation was also a\nhindrance to progress.\n! In another 10 or 12 feet Mr. McCauley\nexpects to tap the lead of the Reco which\noutcropped 175 feet farthei up the moun-\ntiin. Mining men and others who have\nvisited the Reco speak in very hopeful\nterms of the prospect. Some tfiink\u00C2\u00BBit\nwill prove to be the means of adding\nmuch fame and substantial prestige to\nthe whole of Copper Mountain as a mining region.\nNow that water power has been secured\nthe feasibility of driving a large working\ntunnel under Copper Mountain as its\nview presents is admitted generally. No\nengineering difficulty stands in the way.\nAnd to finance the undertaking would\nseem to be a comparatively easy thing\nwhen the mineral zone tapped is almost\nsure to be exceedingly remunerative.\nThe tunnel proper would be 2600 feet in\nlength from the Similkameen river at\nAshnola and it is estimated to cost $250,-\n000. The installation of electric power\nand Burleigh drills would be necessary;\nOf course a detailed estimate would be\nmade by an engineer arid all the data\ngathered to make it an absolutely safe\ninvestment. Mr. McCauley will be\npleased to enter into communication with\nowners of mining property on Copper\nMountain with a wiew to getting this\ntunnel completed and in operation as\nsoon as*possible.\nTHE BOARD OF TRADE\n1 | j \u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nBig Budget of Correspondence\nIncreases Labors of the:\nBoard Scribe.\nIncorporation of Princeton Subject of\nEnquiry\u00E2\u0080\u0094Road to Cemetery\nNeeds Grading. ' \u00C2\u00BB:.$*\nThe Board of Trade meeting Monday,\nevening was' well represented and matters of importance were discussed and\ndisposed of. Routine business being dismissed the following communications\nwere read by Secretary Marlow : j\n; From Duncan Ross, M.P., referring to\ntelephone agency ; from Secretary R.

Ross,\nM.P., expressing regret that he did not\ntreat the Board with due courtesy by not\naccepting its recommendation regarding\na telephone agent here, after the Board\nhad been invited to make an appointee.\nThe question of a road to the burial\nground was relegated to the Secretary\nwith instructions to' write L. W, Shatford, M.P.P.\nBoard adjourned.\nOCTOGENARIAN KILLED.\n;The accidental death of Henry Wood-\nWjard. one of the earliest settlers in Nicola, at the advanced age of 87 years, will\nbe learned with ;;sorrow by a very wide\ncircle of friends.^ The deceased gentleman was residing at Kamloops and while\npassing along the railroad was struck\nwith a tram and instantly killed. At\nthe inquest no blame was attached to the\ntijain hands . or 1 anvone. -Deceased was-\nquite deaf and despite warnings continued to walk on the track until the\nfatal occurrence. He leaves a large\nf4mily, of whom Mrs. F. P. Cook of this-\ntown is a member; and who has the sympathy of many friends.\nInformation tp the effect that active\noperations will soon be resumed on the\nUnited Empire mining property has\nreached this office within the past few\ndays. Th e United Empire. Co. has a large\nExtent of ore and coal opened. The\nobject of tbe present work is, it is understood, to place the mine in a shipping\ncondition at the earliest date rendered\npossible by the completion of the V.,V.\n& E. railway.\nV\n\"WESTWARD HO!\"\nI The September number of \" Westward?\nHo!

In making the \"loop\" below\nBromley's the curve proved too short/\nfor high speed, overturning the heavy.\nrig and spilling the occupants like a.\n\"quart of mussels.\" Nearly all were-\nmore or less injured, the most serious-\ncase being that of \"Bobbie\" Stevensorrj.\nwhose life was threatened by very severe-\ncontusions and a dislocated shoulder.\nHe was taken to Hedley and is reported,\nto be making rapid recovery. The team\nattached to the rig broke loose and ran'\nfull tilt into a gig occupied by Hughie-\nCampbell and Angus Damont. Hugh'\nlit like an autumn leaf on the ground'\nbut Angus was not so fortunate and received a few bruises., Thus were these\nthree old tillicums, all nearly seventy\nyears old, thrown out of their rigs and;\nescaped with their lives. Many friends-\nthroughout the province will be glad to\nknow that these old Cariboo golddiggers-\nare still in the flesh after their untoward\nadventures.\nC. M.

It is due\nto the Presidential elections ; it is\nattributed to the \"squeeze\" Uncle\nJim got while wrestling with the\nNorthern Securities and his great\ncompetitor and enemy, Hard man ;\nit is alleged that Hill wants legislation to enable him to go south into\nWashington after leaving Princeton ; these and many other conjectures are given out. That some\nscheme for the benefit of the political grafter will be launched at the\nnext session of the Ottawa house\nis very probable. If there is anything a grafter will smack his lips\nover it is a railway bonus and the\nidea is prevalent that the Great\nNorthern is now only marking time\non construction for the opportunity\nto obtain a subsidy as the C.P.R.\ndoes. Meanwhile the people in the\nJimhillkameen Valley have to suffer\n.for the delay.\nIf any place has been made the\nvictim of vile political machinations\nit is Princeton. First, the provincial government and certain influential newspapers put obstacles in\nthe way of Hill and the V.,V &\nE. ; then the railway briskly began\nbuilding and has now slowed down\nto an almost imperceptible pace,\nconstructing about 80 miles in two\nyears and six months. At the rate\nrate of progress mentioned it will\nbe another year before the rails are\nlaid this far and at least ten years\nbefore they reach the coast. The\ncharter for the V.,V. & E. put a\ntime limit of five years on the construction of the road. It has about\ntwo more years to run and Mr.\nHill will then have to get another\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0one of those obnoxious extensions.\nHe should be made to live up to\nthe terms of his charter.\nthey rail at Hill and the federal\ngovernment for not carrying out\nthe wishes of the voter. Life in a\nfrontier hamlet has enough of internecine friction and hardship without being frittered away in comparative solitude and inaction while\nwaiting on some Wall-Streeter. If\nHill cannot build the road any faster\nthan he is doing then the government should take it in hand, complete it and own it, and that is what\nwill happen if the Conservatives\nare returned to power.\nThe season for outdoor games,\nsports and races is about closed and\ncitizens of Princeton are again reminded of the need of proper recreation grounds and race track.\nWithout a proper place for these\nadjuncts of civilization there will\nbe little hope of making them attractive or successful. The ground\nmight be acquired by lease or purchase or, better still, by gift. Suitable locations near the town are to\nbe found, two of which are especially suggestive. The Allison and\nAsp flats are the most eligible and\nwould save any hill climbing.\nThese grounds would require little\ngrading and are exceptionally handy\nto town. There is another site in\nwhat is known as Hitch ings' Hollow, a little more than a mile from\ntown. This site is a natural amphitheatre and one of the most picturesque situations around. It remains with the citizens to provide\na track and grounds for next year,\nwhich can and ought to be done\nwithout delay.\nPeople in the Similkameen have\n-waited with splendid patience and\nfortitude for the coming of the railway. Weeks, months and years\nhave rolled by. in anxious expectancy. Still it comes not. Every\neye has been peering for some speck\nof hope on the distant horizon.\nAs the thirsty traveller on the desert hastens to an oasis so do the\npeople here welcome any sign of\nthe railway's approach. Some green\nspot on the desolate waste of time\nhas lured them on and on until in\n-sheer disgust and disappointment\nThe Boundary Creek Times, as\nis well known, is the personal organ of D. Ross, M.P. Evidently\nthe Times is chicken-hearted over\nthe prospect of its remarkable chief\nbeing elected. It says : \"Any back\neast editor who doesn't know that\nBritish Columbia will send at least\nfive Liberals to the next Federal\nParliament is not acquainted with\nthe situation.\" In the words of\nRoss's hireling,Supt. Stevens, there\nis a \"veiled suggestion\" in this that\nhe does not expect to be one of the\nfive. That premonitory voice within which accuses him of many little\nmeannesses has deprived him of\nthe little courage he ever had. Mr.\nRoss is not deserving of victory\nafter his treatment of true Liberals\nin respect of telephone and other\nmatters. In Cariboo he threw down\nhis staunchest friends that an eastern syndicate might have a certain\ncontract. If a man will ambush his\nown friends it is safe to predict he\nwill not 'make good' for his constituents or his party. Sooner or\nlater he will bring the blush of\nshame to his closest friend.\ntoday, and suffers grievously, from\nbeer and bigotry. * * The beer\nlords and the State Church parsons\nare working hand-in-glove against\nthe government, which is fighting\nfor the well-being of the nation as\na whole above the miserable interests of an unscrupulous trade and a\nprivileged church.\"\nA.
