The Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser
BC Historical Newspapers
The Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser was published in Hedley, in the Similkameen region of southern British Columbia, and ran from January 1905 to August 1917. The Gazette was published by the Hedley Gazette Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was Ainsley Megraw (1905-1914). The Gazette served the communities of Keremos, Olalla, and Hedley. In 1916, the paper was purchased by James W. Grier, who shortened the title to the Hedley Gazette.

While there are two trails to reach the Oregon the host is by Eightccn- mileï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½creek and Camp Rust. This trail, although rough in spots anil also steep, is nothing for steepness compared with that hy way of Sixteen-mile, on which the grade is so steep in places that the horses slide, down. From Camp Rest, on the Eighteen-mile trail, there is good going for about two miles southward to the Oregon, which is situated on the watershed between Eighteen- mile and Sixteen-mile. Tick O'ricgon' was staked in 1903 by Tom Anderson, who was out prospecting for himself and I. L. Deardorf. The location line of the Oregon is in a southwesterly and northeasterly direction, and this from surface indications would appear to be the trend of the ore body, as the country rock,' a light-colored eruptive, which may be chipped off anywhere, shows strong indications of copper. A few days after it was staked a working bond was taken on it by M. K. Rodgers for the Yale. Mining Co. They did a few days' work on itr-not more than a prospector would do for one assessmentï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and threw up the bond, principally, it is believed, because the gold values were only between $2 and $3. Some nice copper .specimens, both bornite and chalcopyrite; come from this cut. Shortly afterwards Anderson disposed of his interest to F. H. French, who in turn disposed of half his holding to L. W. Shatford, MP. P. The owners put in several open cuts along the supposed trend of the ore body and bbtaiued a showing in each case similar to that in the first open cut. At one point further down the hill, they start? ed a tunnel, although there was no evidence froin surface indications that better results would be obtained here than elsewhere. For the first ten feet or so the rock along the sides and roof of the tunnel.bears a rather hungry appearance; even the favorable surf ace indications having- to a considerable extent disappeared, but further on a decided improvement takes place, the rock changing in character and strong mineralization being in evidence. Near, the face of the tunnel a rib of solid bornite 8 or 10 inches thick is encountered and the whole face of the tunnel is of rock well mineralized throughout with chalcopyrite. This tunnel is in about 30 feet. A sample across the face is said to have given 0.7.")% copper, 9.5 ozs. silver anil a little over $1.00 in gold. Midway, Oct. 4.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½The Canadian Pacific and (ireat Northern have come to a clash in this district. Late last Saturday afternoon a Canadian Pacific work-train pulled into this place with a large gang of men aboard. The workmen proceeded to a spot on the V. V. &, E. in the neighborhood of Jackson's ranch, a bout four miles from Midway. There they built a high fence of heavy timbers right across the right-of-way. Notices were also posted prohibiting trespassing- under penalty of prosecution. This morning the graders employed by the V. V." & E. arrived, tore down the fences and proceeded with the work of crossing the lots claimed by the Canadian Pacific. Nothing further had developed at noon, but it is expected that there will be lively times within the next couple of days. The Midway Star gives later details as follows: "The railway situation here is reported to be developing in a very interesting manner. A couple of days ago a C. P. R. lawyer, a provincial land surveyor and two policemen, armed with tents and other paraphernalia indicative of a prolonged stay, encamped on the V. V. & E. right of way where it crosses land belonging to the C. P. R.

IMPORTANT CHANGES Mark the Annual General Meeting of The Daly Reduction Co. Last week the Gazette made reference to the arrival in Hedley of principal stock-holders in the Daly Reduction Co. but at the time 6*f going to press nothing definite had been given out. The occasion was the annual general meeting of the share-holders, held in the offices of the company here on October 4tli, at which most of the stock was represented by proxy. The directors elected by the shareholders were: ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Marcus'Daly .mid J. C. La lor, New York: C. A. Crawford. Anaconda.. Mont.: J G Morony, Grand Falls, Mont, and A. J. Campbell, Butte, Mont. At the directors' meeting which followed, the officers elected were: Pres. and Treas., .T. C. Lalor. Vice-Pres., Marcus Daly Secretary, .0. A. Crawford. Asst. Secy., A. .T. Campbell, General Manager and Superintendent, R. B. Lamb. The Daly Reduction Company is incorporated under the Companies' Act, British Columbia, and owns all the plant used in the. reduction of the ores of the Nickel Plate mine, including mill, power-house, flume, tramways, (both gravity and electric) ore bins etc. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½in fact all to the mouth of the mine tunnels. The mine and other mineral claims belong to the Yale The Hedley IiiHe Association met in Eraser's hall on Saturday night. The committee on membership handed in the completed roll, showing a round two dozen members. The committee on by-law- also presented a full set of by-law.-., rule.-, and regulations based largely on those in force in the D. R. A. and B. C. Provincial Associations, modifviug where local conditions rendered the others inapplicable. These met with the view.- of the association and were accordingly adopted. The standing committee to arrange matches announced that a handsome cup was to be procured by the association to be competed for at the regular monthly matches, and tri become the property of the member who win^ the same three times in succession by ihe highest aggregate score at all range.-. In addition to the cup. there will be five money prizes awarded at each match for the highest five aggregate scores, the first prize being 40?; of total cash collected for such match, second prize 25%, third prize 15. and 2 prizes of 10% each. The entrance fee for coin- petition in money prizes will be $2.50 and for the ,cnp 50 cents in addition to entrance to money prizes, although any member who may uot wish to shoot for the money prizes, but to compete for the cup only, may do so on payment of the entrance fee of 50c. The first match will be held on Thanksgiving Day, commencing at 0 o'clock sharp, and the ranges shot will be 200, 300 and 400 yards, the first to be off-hand and the others any military position; head to target.

Lamb, is an Australian by birth, has spent all his life in the mining and reduction business, both in Australia and in the United States, and is eminently qualified to take hold of the concern. Under his management the company look for a record for economical extraction, and there is good reason to believe that they will not look in vain. During the past analvses of the j.ot.k j few days he has been taking his bear- as well as the prepara-1 inS* and ve-organizing his forces. That important improvements in the plant are contemplated is quite evident, but what these will consist of remains to be. seen. In all probability neither the manager nor the directors themselves have yet fully decided what tbev shall be. southwest and down the hill towards the Similkameen river, lies the .Two i Sisters claim, owned by.I.K. Robinson, i The St. Bernard joins on the north-! west and the Winchester on the southeast. The Oregon is the centre of the group and lies on the face of a steep hill-side, but either the extent or the trend of the ore body is yet an unknown quantity and development- work is needed to determine it. Little attention, too. seems to have been give.n to determine either the identity or the chemical composition of tin rock. A few should be made tion of slides for petrograpbical examination under the microscope, and much more development work is required as well as numerous tests for value. The general favorable appearance of the property would certainly warrant it all. The Dundas Banner (Liberal) has too much respect for representative . government to uphold the high-handed course that has been pursued in the hew province of Saskatchewan. The Banner says: F.W.G. Haultain held too prominent a. position as premier of the Northwest Territories to be iguored by Lieutenant- Governor.'Forget-on the format ion of the new provinces. He had been the choice of the people, for years, and had served them with considerable ability. He was a member of the executive council and premier of the Northwest Territories when the new provinces came into existence. To ignore him on the formation of the provisional government was simply to repudiate representative government. To appoint a man as premier who was not the choice of the people and not then- representative in anv sense was simply to ignore the people. It it true Mr. Haultain opposed the autonomy bills, but as premier of the new province Ik* would have been powerless to repudiate its constitution which embodies certain legal rights and privileges for Roman Catholics. Under representative government, and as the premier of the Territories, he was the proper person to organize one of the new governments. In selecting Walter Scott, who had no seat in the old council, Lieutenant Governor Forget became autocratic and simply told the people that representative government did not exist, and that they did not rule.

LAMBLY. 37-4 Registrar of the County Court of Yale. He Remembered; The articles hy Lawson on Frenzied Finance in Everybody's magazine gain interest month by month, and the October instalment of the story is able, catchy, and Convincing. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ To Canadians who are. but slightly acquainted with even the. salient features ofï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the great Montana contest and the roles played therein'by W. A. Clark and'F. A. Heinze, the pen pictures of these men given by Lawson are certainly very striking and no doubt thoroughly- accurate as all his other statements seem to have been. Heinze we have had some opportunity of knowing in Southern British Columbia' from his .-connection with Rossland camp, and even ventricose Paddy O'Farrel, Heinze.'s Bos'well, comes in for a share of attention. Lawson describes O'Farrel as a "newspaper' outcast living by bis wits," but most Iiosskmders would have considered the description more accurate if he had used the: word 'cheek' instead of 'wits.' In life insurance, the people of the United States owe to Lawson a. debt of gratitude, for the unmasking of men of the Hyde. McCall and Perkins kidney, and it is to be hoped that Canadians will profit by the lesson taught them and find out a little more about Ayhafc they are. going into before patronizing these rotten foreign concerns like the. Equitable New York Life. Even Nevada, .where prize fights could be pulled off after every other place was closed to the pugilistic refugees, has out-lawed the New York Life. (New York Tribune.) " Robert," said a teacher'of one of the lower classes during a reading lesson, according to Lippincott's Magazine, "please read the first sentence."

Smith lias been ill during '_ the past two weeks, hut athust reports was much hotter. Govt, agent Hugh Hunter is in town this week and the provincial money bags will swell their sides accordingly.' The. Hedley contingent to the "Fair returned on Tuesday night. Roll-call , is deferred until next stage to allow remaining stragglers to;fall in. Engineer Baldwin of the V. V, & E. admits that the route through the (Jo- ' ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ quihalla is practicable oh a grade not exceeding two pei-cent, but says that ,-there will be heavy'work. t ' Glanders is rampant among horses at Peachland. - Nineteen head were i destroyed one day last week - and a lot .more suspects are penned up on a 40 days' quarantine. J. J. Marks has the Gazette's thanks - for a tender, juicy roast of venison and ' a plump, fat blue,grouse brought in on ' Saturday, which came in fine for a - Sunday dinner. The V. V. & E. surveyors are making good progress in revision of the line of survey at this point so as to run all trains through the town instead of having to back in from across the river on a spin-. J. H. Bromley, was. down last week .from the ranch. He had heard that his brother Joe was among the typhoid patients in Fairview, but obtained word over the 'phone that he was all right. . Dr. Mathisoit, dentist of Greenwood, came in on Saturday night, and is practicing at the Hotel Similkameen. He will remain until about the 22nd of October. The doctor likes this part of the, province, and perhaps he could be induced to .remain here. The Daly Reduction Company are applying for 5,000 inches of water from .the, Similkameen River to be taken fromthe '-stream at a point ten miles up and returned to the stream at Twenty Mile, the water to be/'-used for 'in-, .dustrial and domestic purposes. Several miners from .the. Apex were _in town this week--..heading back" to the Boundary. Most of the Apex crew 'were recuited in v the Boundary, and possibly felt a. little too'.much out of ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the world on Independence Mountain to make up their -minds to remain there all winter. Muchj.of the outside work about the Daly Reduction Company's plant these days is in getting ready for winter. The penstocks running "up the hill from the power house aye being 'protected'from the frost, and the work of double-bparding the flume will soon be completed. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ The telephone exchange was completed last week. There Avere some sixteen instruments installed to continence with, and this will: possibly ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½, reach two dozen in the course of a few months. The more subscribers there are the greater degree of usefulness'- to those who are subscribers.' . The mill hands in the Daly Reduction Company's skimp mill will henceforth be short their usual Sunday's rest, for the new management intends to keep the stamps dropping- constantly Sunday and Saturday until they wear out. Last Sunday the mill ran full power all day, and this is to be the programme right through from this on. It was not the Gazette's intention to convey the idea that Mr. Hunter was at all responsible for the issuance of those inquisitorial income tax schedules. The document was prepared in Victoria and Mr. Hunter has no more option in the matter of sending them out than he has objection to collect all that is collectable, so don't pull any wry faces but shell out when he comes round. Rev. A. J. Fowlie- was presented with a purse containing $75.00 by the people of P.inceton on his departure. This was certainly white on the part of the people of that town and on Mr. Fowlie's part the. courtesy was well- deserved. Had the people of Hedley known of it there arc quite a number Avho would have been pleased to contribute. To take a. similar action on their own behalf was out of the question as they'knew nothing of Mr. Fowlio's intention of leaving until the the .Sunday evening when he came to preach his farewell sermon and he intended to go out next day.. J as. McEvoy and O. L. Spencer, coal experts'from Ferine; ;were in town - on' Tuesday, coming in by Tuesday's, flyer from Midwav. They .were on their way through to fchft Nicola ;ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½oï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½f fields.

Mr. Spencer has also hod a prior knowledge of the Similkameen, having journeyed through several- years ago. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½', On. Tuesday,tliey had a run over the mill and works of the Daly Reduction- Company in company with the (iazetie; but did not have-time to go up to *the' hiine."x Mr. McEvoy will make an examination of the Similkameen and Nicola, coal beds.' . ' '"ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½'* Southern Okanagan Land Co. Mr. L. G. MacHuffie, managcr.(>'f the Bank of B..N. A., received word on ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Thursday.,.last', of the death from' ty- 'phoid'fever of G. H. Winter which -took place in the hospital at Prince Albert on October 2nd. As relieving agent and one of the inspectors of the bank he luul gone to Rosthern to" relieve the. manager there, when he was taken sick. Mr. MacHaffie had not heard of his illness and had only'a few days before received an interesting chatty letter from him in which no mention had been made of illness. It seems but a short time since he left Hedley after opening up the branch here, of which he was for a short time acting manager; and business men in Hedley have pleasant recollections of his courteous manner and- kindly disposition. ' In his death the Bank of B. N. A. lose a valuable officer who had always at heart the welfare of the Bank and was ever loyal to its interests.

':{ } * Southern Okana'gan is rapidly coining to the front for its peaches, A small but hjghly*'interesfcing display, jofjthis delicious fru.it together with, apples, pears, grapes and plums is invitingly displayed in the exhibit made by the .Southern Okanagan Land company. The booth is attractively arranged showing a number of excellent photographs of Penticton, the. thriving town at the foot of the lake, and orchard, meadow and lake scenes on the lands of the Southern Okanagan Land Company. The. company owns a tract of 80,000 acres of arable ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ and ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ pasture land in the heart of the Southern Okanagan valley, stretching from Penticton to the ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ International boundary line. This land has been subdivided into five and ten acre plots ;and an extensive ' irrigation ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ system is'how in course of construction. To give an instance of the productiveness of the soil there is in an orchard on the company's land a most prolific cherry tree, which is also the largest one, in the province. This tree is in the habit of ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ yielding in the neighborhood of $100 worth of,cherries every season. In an exceptionally productive year, when prices, too, were high, the ti'ee, netted its owner over $150. The company making the exhibit has at its head two very enterprising directors in the persons of L. W. and W. T. Shatford. * A nice line of Boys' 2 piece Norfolk and double breasted sample suits will be sold at reasonable prices.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Campbell and Shier. iOOSOQQSCOQOOGiQOSfQQOSiOOQOQCeOSOaoeeO WEATHER PROPHETS ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ - - ' ' Predid: a Hard Winter... -1- 1JL-T WE ARE PREPARED FOR IT WITH A VERY LARGE STOCK OF Cold Weather Clothing f|N Woolen* Undekweaj* and i Flannel Suiktk we have the largest and'most complete range ever shown in the Country, and. can supply the wants of the most fastidious TR^E are just.' - shipment of ^ t. opening up a ipment of "Winter Suits and Odd Pants,-.' which, for pattern, style and fit, beat anything Ave have ever seen in the ready- to-wear clothing line " We Want, You t*o See These Goods SHftTFORDS, LIMITED fledleu and Fairview, B. 6.

The. minutes of previous meeting being duly read and disposed of, the secretary's account of $3.28 for postage etc. was presented and ordered to he paid. % The question of having the crib-work on the creek duly attended, to during low water this fall, was discussed at some length and finally the secretary was instructed to write the representative, Mr. Shatford, in reference to the same. - Mr. Fraser said that samples of fire hose had been procured, and that one grade which was 75 cents per foot appeared to he suitable for the work that would be required of it here, but that with the cost of freight added a sum exceeding $-100. would be necessary'to procure 400 feet. The fire committee appointed at the public meeting Jiad intended making' a canvass to ascertain what amount of money could be raised to procure hose etc., but owing,.to the fact that the sports committee for the Labor Day celebration had canvassed the- -town, for funds about the same time they'didu't think" it wise to attempt raising money for fire protection.

Subscribe for the GAZETTE Last' week witnessed an exceptional rainfall. The rain on Monday night caused a very marked rise in the water of the Similkameen river and Wednesday night's heavy and continuous rain increased it still more, with the result- that the boom broke, letting out'a quantity of logs. On Thursday morning the report was around town that all the logs had broken away, and other reports gave.'it 150,000 feet, but 'on inquiry it was learned from the proprietors that only 50,000 feet had broken away, and men were dispatched to stretch a boom- across the river to catch them before they had passed Hedley. Thus the loss was trivial, but might have amounted to a great deal but for the vigilence-maintained.-- For a while the river was rising at the rate of an inch every ten 'minutes. The Similkameen is a tough customer when filled up with too much liquid, as mill men have found to their cost. 'notice. OTEL EDLEY :0: W. E. WELBY, Proprietor.
