PRINCETON, B.C., SATURDAY, JULY 28, J 906. $2 a Year, in Advance SOME BIG PAYROLLS Princeton's Turn on Wheel of Fortune Cannot Long be Postponed. which will decide the amount and nature of development work to be done. Willerson & Johnson are at work on Copper mountain mining properties. Prospects Brighter than Harvest Moon for Mining Industry in the Golden Similkameen. Boundary's monthly payroll exceeds $100,000. Moyie has a payroll of $1000 per day. The June payroll of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. was $150,000. Snowden & McMullen have finished their contract to sink a 50-foot 8x8 shaft on the Vermilion Forks Co's coal property on the townsite. It was a nice bit of calculation to hit the big coal seam at exactly fifty feet, but it was done, re gardless of the bets and speculations of the "knowing" ones. The Daly Reduction Co. at Hedley is advertising for 10 machine men at $3 50 per day and 10 muckers at $3 ; board $6 per week. . Uhler & Cox are making steady progress on their Five-Mile properties with very encouraging results. They are now • in iron and copper ore with a six-foot face which is being assayed. C O. French is having mineral properties examined by expert J. F. Leland on Granite creek which will form the basis of a report. * Inquiry has been madsat the Star office for two copper claims with ore showings. They are for St. Paul capital and no fanciful prices will be entertained. J Langeloth and Jay P. Graves have closed a deal for the Hercules mine in the Coeur d'Alenes for #6i,ooo;ooo. Hart & Raymond, two prospectors from Oregon, have struck a lead of gold bearing quartz on Granite creek which has caused considerable talk among mining men. There is more than a well founded suspicion that Granite creek district is still rich in gold, the actual discoveries of the yellow metal in place are frequent and leave no doubt as to the gold mining industry being permanent when the railway draws nigh. Messrs. Hart & Raymond have discovered a strong lead which contains visible gold. The Vermilion Forks Co. \\s opening up a seam of coal on the south bank of the Similkameen about a mile above the town. Some very fine looking samples of ore have been recently shown as the result of assessment work done on the Rising Sun, Granite creek. A 7-foot lead with walls of slate and porphyry and highly mineralized ore body is worth investigating. The owners are waiting for assay returns RICH ROCHE RIVER. The mineral riches of Roche river have been so often described and are so well known that the subject seems well nigh exhausted. But, as discoveries are made and prospecting advances, surprises are frequently given. Recent assays of ore from there give considerable values in nickel and tellurium, others give returns of great value in chloride of gold. Roche river has the reputation of giving the highest assays in gold of any section in the Similkameen. The Red Star, Gold Crown, Brunswick and many other properties there are. known to be rich in mineral and only need rail communication to make them blossom into producing mines. Owners of properties there have only to exercise patience until the railway affords shipping facilities, the ore in quality and quantity is there. MINERAL ON THE SKAIST. Con Faircloth was in town for supplies this week and exhibited some fine samples of chalcopyrite ore which gave $37 in copper-gold values. His claims are on Skaist creek, a section that has been little prospected though mineralization is apparent everywhere. Con has got 30 feet of ore which Denver and Vancouver assayers have shown to contain surface values running from %\\ to above named amount. The ore and the values are there, the only question is transportation and that seems likely of solution as there is a probability of an easy pass being found through the Hope mountains via the Skaist. There is also valuable tim ber in this section as well as large ore bodies. Wmv LOCAL NEWS NOTES. F. W. Groves, P.L.S., has surveyed mineral claims on the porphyry bluff near Welldo for T. A. Rogers. Haying is now in full progress and the demand for haymakers is keen. The crop is excellent and the weather superb. Public worship tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. in the court house.

PEOPLE WANT FACTS Why Construction of Railway is Not Going on West of Keremeos. Neither Liberal Government nor the Member for Yale-Cariboo to Be Blamed. It was too great a task these warm days to read the whole of "Here is the Result" in the Gazette, but enough of the rot was summed up in the heading to convince the Star that a wheel had slipped a cog or two in the thinktank of our prejudiced contemporary. It is a doctrine of the Gazette that no good can come from a Liberal government or any supporter of it and it is this hidebound partisanship which blinds it to the truth, shuts ont reason and gives its articles the incoherency of a madman. In one sen tence the Gazette says that the Dominion government is the cause of no construction west of Keremeos and in another it says that the contractors would not build owing to the "difficulty of prosecuting work in the Similkameen with Midway as the base of supplies." Statements so contradictory are the mere effluvia of a fermented and befuddled btain. The Star has too much regard for its honor to divulge the names of confidential correspondents or informants. In this respect it differs from the Gazette which broke the code of respectable journals by publishing the name of a certain correspondent last spring. It will be some considerable time before the Gazette wears off that disgrace and is entrusted with the name of a correspondent in con fidence. The Star must decline to be drawn by its would-be astute neighbor but will give it verbatim quotations from its " authoritative sources " in proof of its bona fides and which may be fur ther verified by seeing the originals at this office. Here they are : " The reason for the delay is that the Great Northern people are not anxious to continue the work from Keremeos until such time as the track is laid to Oroville, an the contractors, naturally, object to hauling their plant and supplies from Midway. The Great Northern does not care to have supplies come in by the C.P.R. to Penticton." "While Mr. Kennedy was here (Ottawa) he promised certain information that he did not then have and which the Minister of Railways required before coming to a decision. There has not been the slightest effort made to delay this matter, and as soon as the information is received a decision will be given." Reliable and reasonable statements like the foregoing are worth yards of vapid fiction emanating from the jaundiced Tory organette at Hedley. For the Gazette to attempt to flim-flam the people on a serious lailway matter shows how little of their interests it has at heart when some low political grudge is to be avenged. The insinuation that some of the Liberal ministers are playing into the hands of the C.P.R.-to hold up construction of the V., V. & E. is too silly to deserve notice. In the great fight in the railway committee a year ago it was the Liberals who won the victory for the V., V & E., the Conservatives voting solid for the C.P.R. and delay. In view of these facts the Gazette's assertions are utterly baseless and false. To accuse Duncan Ross, M.P., of ueglect or treachery in regard to the interests of the Similkameen is another slander voters will not be slow to resent. It is very generally admitted by peisons of every shade of political opinion that Mr. Ross has been loyal and true to his constituents on the railway question, his valiant fight being evidence of good fatth in that behalf. Only the sneering, Tory-blind Gazette finds fault and beats the air in genuine Quixotic style. ALL BROKE UP- A very untoward accident befell Chas. A. Mears, who with his famiiy and household effects was moving with wagon and team to Nicola. • When near Peterson's ranch he had to divide the road with the mail coach, taking the outside which let his "nigh" wheels over the grade somewhat. The strain upon the hind wheel caused it to dish, which was unnoticed by the driver when he .pulled into the roadway on a steep down grade. Finding that the brake would not work and his wagon gaining headway which the horses could not check he jumped from .his seat to procure something that would hold the wheels. The horses veered a little and over the c.iff went the whole outfit, turning rapidly over and over until some hundreds of feet below the fragments and a fearfully bruised team touched bottom. It was a lucky thing that there were no occupants of the wagon. The paor man was most disconsolate over, the loss of all his worldly goods, which practically put him afoot and left him without the implements to begin anew. In the very dangerous places a guard rail ought to be planted, to prevent further accidents. Regular meeting of the board of trade will be held next Thursday at 8 p.m. A bee for the purpose of erecting a shed for the fire brigade was made on Thursday night and the building rose into shape very quickly many willing hands and stout backs assisting. In a few years, when Princeton has water works, fire engines and large halls for a paid brigade the present building will look like ten cents among a lot of twenty- dollar gold "boys." — wmi — —— —— _• THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR July 28, 1906 The Similkameen Star Published Weekly at PRINCETON, B.C. —BY— The Princeton Publishing Co.

COAL AND WATER. Two great natural sources of latent power are provided in lavish abundance throughout the whole of the Princeton district. Where, it may be reasonably asked, on this continent or in the wide world, is there such plenitude of two power-' producing elements' or substances ready to be harnessed and converted to the use and convenience of man as are found in this vicinity ? Coal and water are essential in developing energy and since the age of steam their combined use has been universal. But since the dawn of the electric age water alone has become a formidable rival of coal for power generating purposes. Stupendous works are in progress in various parts of the world which will furnish hydro-electric power in some instances as far as a two- hundred mile radius. It has been demonstrated beyond all controversy that this power is the cheapest and safest ever made. In Pennsylvania and other coal regions cheap: electric power is being made from the refuse'of the mines. It is found to be much cheaper and more convenient to transmit the coal by wire than to ship it in cars. Thatis to say, it is far superior to handling the coal several times in transport from the mines to distant furnaces to at once convert it into electrical energy at the pit head and transmit by wire. If, as has been shown, this can be, and is, done in other coal districts there is no reason. why it should inot.be-done at Princeton. There are all the various mining camps, one large stamp mill, several saw mills, towns to be illuminated, and other industries tofollpw, all within fifty miles of Princeton, which could be readily served with the electrical' power generated from the immense deposits of coal here. "Whether it be coal or water that is required there is no lack of either for the production of power. With a fall of nearly forty feet per mile in the Similkameen and Tulameen rivers power production is possible on a scale to be compared with that of Niagara. The electrification of railways will be done within the next decade or two and the dirty, dangerous, smoky ".puffing billies." will be relegated to the scrap heap. That being so, Princeton as an electricity producing centre offers unequalled advantages in coal and water. The attention of promoters and capitalists is respectfully invited to this subject, so faintly reviewed and presented. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Dominion parliament was prorogued last week, ending a very creditable and most successful session for the government. The Conservative members did their utmost to fasten some charge of corruption or maladministration on the government but utterly failed. Inquiry into the North Atlantic Trading Co's methods of securing immigrants for Canada revealed nothing which was not commendable for the Hon. Frank Oliver. Mr. Preston, chief of immigration in London, has been promoted as commercial agent in Japan. The Arctic inquiry proved a dismal failure for the Tories. . The only piece of good luck which fell to the Opposition was the censure given a poor reporter for saying things about G. E. Foster, M.P. This incident cost the country many thousands of dollars and made Foster the laughing stock of the Dominion. Canada was never better governed than it is today, thanks to Liberals. King Edward has declined the invitation to visit his loyal elder daughter, Canada. While it is a little humiliating to be refused with out offer of any reason it settles the question, of any future invitation to His Majesty from this side of the "water." Possibly his age precludes travel. Vivat Rex. The egotism of. some newspaper pen pushers seemingly has no lipiit. They lay down the law to suit themselves, throw mud at men head and shoulders above them in character and mental calibre; write long- winded screeds, go out of their way to hit some one a dig, ever seeking some flaw to find and full of low scurrillity. No wonder men of that stamp wear a vitriolic look and assume a bilious smile. To entrust these splenetic individuals with the guidance of public opinion in the position of managing editor is little else than a real comedy of errors. It may be truthfully said of them that "Fools rush, in where angels fear to tread." NOTICE.
