Held it been known that the* train would not be held at Prince ton until a later liom- in the evening as many expected, there 'would not likely have been as'great*.a turnout, for .although no definite assurance had heen given that the train would bo held, most of those who went, up- expected it. The Orangemen of Princeton kept the wires hot for several days trying to get officials to agree to it, but for some reason they were unable to prevail upon them. The* same concession had been obtained in previous years and there seemed to be* no apparent re*ason for the restriction on this occasion, but nevertheless the* officials remained obdurate*, and after the train reached Princeton and the conductor had consulted with the agent there, he began to tell all who asked him that the train would leave Princeton for the return liip on time. The. Princeton Orangemen had the town band out and the members of the lodge paraded to the station to meet their bretht.*rn from the south. Oil' the arrival of those from the south, procession was again formed of the three lodges, Princeton, 'Hedley and Keremeos and they marched down town. There was no speechifying in a grove which' was formerly the piece de resistance of all Orange celebrations. Nevertheless the Princeton members had seen to it that in the absence of platform talent which would either volunteer or could be prevailed on to take the rostrum, <-i programme of foot races, baseball' and the'drilling match was provided to meike amends forlt. In the baseball, match the Princeton Lodge played Hedley and Keremeos Lodges and had a somewhat easy victory,'the score being 17 to 7. NICKEL PLATE OUTPUT IN 1913 Mr. Jacobs Submits Some Figures for First Five Months The visit of. Mr.'-fucobs to Hedley Camp as announced in these columns some time ago has made many look for his write-up of the 'Cainp. The contribution which, he kindly furnished the Gazette deals with Summit Camp, Copper'1 Mt'umtain and other mining interests up tho valley, .-ind it has heen noted that' these have also been dealt with in some detail in some other papers in B. 0. As an earnest, however, of valuable: attention which he intends to give .to Camp Hedley the following advance paragraph is timely: \"Three days were'spent at Hedley. and on one of these 11 visit wees paid to the Niekeel Plate mine.

THE KOClv DRILLING jrATCH weis for $500 a sidewind was brought about because-the'Copper Mountain team which was made up of two miners, Fraser and Larsen, were not satisfied with the result of the.drilling on Dominion Day in which they failed to get a place, even for second money, and they issued a challenge to the winners of the first prize on tintt occasion, Fred Lyon and'S. IS. Hamilton from Hedley, who thought for a while; that the challenge was not meant seriously but was merely a little bit of bombast to save their faces, but when they persisted in it the challenge was taken up. The drilling did not take place on .Saturday until all the rest of the sports were completed. In the draw for order of drilling the fates decided that the Copper Mountain team should drill first, which apparently suited them clown to the ground as they had already decided that if they had the opportunity to do sc> they would choose the centre of thu quadrangle made by the four holes which had been drilled in the same rock on Dominion Day. By making this selection, if they had been skillful enough to put their hole down straight, they would have had a. marked advantage in getting softer rock to drill in, for the concussion resulting from the drilling of the former holes was bound to check iind fracture the ground to some extent, and the disintegration, however slight it might be, which was thus begun,* was further helped by 12 clays water soaking and exposure to the other two great elements of rock disintegration,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwater and eiir.

This is the twelfth annual congress of the society, and is the first time Canada, has had the honor of entertaining them. The invitation to hold the meeting in this country came from the Dominion government, the Canadian Mining Institute, the Provincial government of Ontario and the Royal Society of \"Canada. On July 18th a .party\"of from 75 to SO early arrivals will st.-u-t oat 011 the first excursion in the province--east of Montreal, and there will be several before the date when the total. membership assembles in Montreal. The southern part of Quebec.and the maritime provinces will be visited, and the excursion will end up at Ot- t.-nva. On July 23rd a second party will set out to inspect Sudbury, Cobalt and Porcupine and the mining district of Ontario, ending up fit Ot- tiiwei on July 31st. The same date will see the arrival of a. third party at the capital, which will leave Montreal on July 24th iind visit the Haliburton- Bancroft district. After the congress prolonged tours will be made reaching as far as the Pacific, coast, and one party will go as far north as Dawson. Forty different nationalities are to be represented,'500 out of S00 members are to be present at the sessions in Toronto University. A representative of the Gazette had the pleasure of ,*i vh-it'last week to the factory of the British Columbia Portland Cement Co.'at East Princeton and saw .Portland cement in the process of miiiuifiu'ture. This process is so interesting that we intend te> give our readeis a detailed description thereof, and not having the space at our disposal this week, will give it a little; later em. Suffice it is to s.-ty at the pre-sent, that the factory is running full blast and turning out a very fine quality of the manufactured article. So much so that the heads of the company who had always reason to believe'that the quality of the raw material at hand would enable them to turn out something extia, are moie than pleased with the result, for . the laboratory tests of the product which have already been made, have given them a manufactured article that exceeds their most sanguine hopes in that direction. Mr. Budd who was under contract from the company to put up the \"factory and hand it over to them in shape to turn out a fine grade of cement, has fulfilled his contract and the f;ic- tory is taken off his hands eind turned over to the operating department. The new manager, Mr. A. A. Robertson, is a man of long and successful experience, and has taken hold of his new commission with the determination to make the best grade of cement that tan be found any where, in the country and to make it as cheap or cheaper than it can be done anywhere else on the seime scale. When other units are added to the present plant, which is to be done very shortly, he is satisfied that the 'industry will more than hold its own with other factories in Canada both for quality and cheapness of production. His stall' is small but capable.' Besides himself are D. C. Chads, chief chemist, F. Budd, assistant ..chemist; and the care of the plant is left to Mr. Cox, chief engineer and master mechanic*, who was formerly with the Hastings mills in 'Vancouver. Cement makers as a rule like to keep their stock on hand several-months to season before marketing, but some pressing orders must be filled at once, and'- the laboratory tests which have been made of the cement already turned out, are so conclusive that they have no hesitation whatever in allowing it to go out. .A more detailed description of this interesting industry will be given in these columus later. Now that the completion of the Great- Northern Railway's portion of the remaining sections of road to give connection with the coast is dwindled down te;* a matter' of a few months, public attention- in this valley that was formerly focussed on V. V. & E. operations, has begun to look beyond, aiid like interest is manifested in the operations of the Kettle Valley, especially as to the missing link down the Ooeiuihallu. Rumors have been recurrent at legul.-ir intervals siiice; the beginning of the year as to when the work for that portion of the route would be under way, and at last news comes to hand of something which looks more like actual building than anything that has yet been in evidence. Date after date was set as lo when contracts for the building would be let, and when that was, done there was still the usual breathing spell before suh-t'.ontractiiis were allotted their takes and had time, to assemble their forces. The West Vale Review, published at Hope, says: \"The construction equipment and stores of George Chew have been packed at iSpuzzum for shipment to Hope to be used on the construction of the Kettle Vallev road.'\" CAN FIND NO FAULT Prominent Liberal Paper Expresses Complete Satisfaction with Elevation of Arthur Meighen MINING NOTES OFFICIALLY EXPLODED The Myth of the Rain-Maker Goes the Way of Other Exploded Theories In these days when there are numerous claims of alleged 'rain-makers,' who propose to bring down moisture* from the clouds by explosions of dynamite, etc., it is rather interesting to know that Dr. Fernow, Dean of the Faculty of Forestry, Toronto University, wees the first official rain-maker of the United States, that is to say, Dr. Fernow was instructed to investigate the possibility of causing rain by artificial methods, and he was particularly to investigate whether it was true that great modern battles were always fought in heavy, rain-storms caused by the discharge of artillery. Dr. Fernow's investigations led to a report of an entirely negative character, that is to say, he found that there was no truth in the report that great battles were always fought in rain, nor did he find that the discharge of ordinance?' or bombs had any perceptible effect on the precipitation of moisture. The Argb tunnel at Greenwood is now in 900 feet and the giound is improving in an encouraging manner. The point to which it is being pushed will give a elepth from the surface of 2000 feet, The; portal of the tunnel is only about 000 feet from the Greenwood smelter. The Dickson incline from No. 4 tunnel in the Nickel Plate* Mine is three compartment and is going down at the* rate of over 100 fi'et a month in very hard ground. At the Nelson Fruit Fair a mineral display of ores of the interior is to be made a feature. The ore values in the Nicke;l Plate average for the first half year a little over a dollar a ton moie than the average of hist year. On the Togo claim near Greenwood, J.D. Graham has struck a small streak of high grade ore that assays over $400 to the ton in silver and gold. The rich ore is 20 feet from the surface in a shaft that is being sunk on the ledge. The Togo lies about half a mile west of the Providence, The B. C. Copper Co. has decided to put in at the old smeltery at Boundary Falls some concentrating plant with which to reduce the percentage of silica in ore from its Lone Star and Washington mine? and so make a product more suitable for smelting with ores from its other mines in the district.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe Ledge.

POST OFFICE, KEREMEOS, B. C. There is just as good work being done in country offices as in the cities, and often as poor work in the cities as in the worst country shops In Prices the country office can do just as well for you and you save the express. The city printer may get his stock a trifle cheaper by saA-ing tlie local freight, but his rent and other overhead expenses are higher, and in the end he is obliged to charge as much or more than the country printer will charge for the same class of work.
