MINES AND MINERALS m B, C. Copper Co's Energetic Policy in Proving Vast Properties Here. Silver-Lead Camps Active—Leadville Attracts Writers and Many Practical Persons- The B.C. Copper Co. will begin at once development work on a largely increased scale, doubling the force of men now employed and otherwise pushing forward investigation of their vast mineral areas at Voigt camp and Copper mountain. No other company in the province holds such immense ore reserves as is believed to be contained in these contiguous camps. The old Sunset and Voigt camp mineral claims will be the busy scenes of new work to be rapidly advanced. Thomas Rogers, of Mountain View, Cal., and recently from Desmet, Idaho, is visiting this section after an absence of 7 or 8 years. He has considerable mining interests here and is showing good samples of gypsum taken from his claim near Welldo Mr Rogers was associated with A. Gallinger and other Oshkoeh, Wis., parties on the Cousin Jack, Boulder creek. He left for Pesmet on Wednesday. John T. Blackburn, mine owner aud operator, of Spokane, arrived in town Tuesday on hi** way to Leadville, via Tulaneen. For some dozen years he was engaged in mining near Twisp, Wash. Mr. Blackburn will spend the summer in the district and will carry on expensive development work at Leadville, where he has acquired mineral interests. The annual report of the Standard silver-lead mine at Silverton, B. O, for 1912, sent out to stockholders by Secretary Charles Hussey, shows that the company earned a net profit of $544,043, of which $425,000 was distributed to shareholders in dividends, leaving a balance in the treasury of $165,123, a surplus of $46,080, carried over from 1911, being included in this amount. April proved an exceptionally good month for holders of stock of American metal mines and metallurgical works, for according to reports made to the Mining and Engineering World no less than $11,890,848 was disbursed in dividends, 63 companies contributing, fcffp Plans are being laid for calling a meeting in Nelson of all interested in mining for the purpose of forming an association of mining men and prospectors. Chief among the objects of the proposed association will be to establish means for placing the owners of mineral claims in touch with capitalists who are seeking promising properties, and to appoint a permanent secretary, who will have a list of claims, which are for sale and who will be in a position to supply reliable information of a specific nature regarding the various sections of the Kootenay-Boundary mining districts. Hon. James Dunsmuir, the largest stockholder in the Coronation mines; H. B. Thompson, president of the corporation, and B. J. Perry, director, are due to arrive in Lilloet in a few days In order to be present at the starting of the 10-stamp mill at Coronation on June 1. Splendid progress is being made at the mines, a large amount of free milling ore of high value being on the dumps ready for crushing. This will be treated this year. D. A. Thomas, a Welsh coal magnate employing 50,000 meu, i' at Merritt and will examine coal properties with a view to purchase. A merger with other coal properties is said to be his object. Fred Keffer and H. Johns of the B C. Copper Co. were in town this week on mining business. E. P. Wheeler of Conconully, Wash., was in town recently and went up to Friday creek to his mineral property there. He is looking forward to the completion of the tranprovincial road to Friday creek. With bornite of such high value and other copper ores there is bound to be a camp. Mr. Wheeler deserves rich reward for his persevering labors and there is no doubt he will get it when transportation comes. An error in a mining paragraph of last week's issue states that Reilly and Jensen were at work on the Xmas Eox mineral claims. This is not true as they are at work on the Carbonate. Star regrets the error. LEADVILLE CHUNKS Tulameen, May 23.—Your correspondent returned from Leadville last night. The weather has been bad all this month until now. The trail is solid but there are some bunches of snow. I expect to take horses to the mouth of Sutter creek in three or four days. From there we will have to pack our supplies three miles on our backs to the Carbonate mine. Twenty- four miles from here the Carbonate lead is giving promise of an immense amount of profitable ore. There are five men at the Indiana. Three days since there were about 26 inches of good concentrating ore in the face of the adit. The snow will average four feet deep there yet. There are three men at the Treasure mountain mine. J. C. Edwards, who is in charge, is well pleased and work is progressing satisfactorily. Patsy Clark is expected here soon. He is planning big work on the Ross claims. There are about 35 men working on the wagon road. I figure it will take _5 men four summers to make the road through. There is a lot of heavy work to be done. The engineer could revise the route with profit. I am not finding fault with his former work; he did not have the time necessary to look over the country and survey the road to save cost. PRINCESS THEATRE. The moving picture show at the Princess has been of exceptionally high merit during the past week. Dignan Bros, introduced specialties which are at once marvels of the art of moving illustrations, and instructive as well as amusing. Showgoers appreciate the efforts of the management to please.

Invitation to All Loyal Inhabitants of Similkameen to Come and Enjoy Sports. Dominion Day celebration committees are hard at work and the best program ever provided is shaping. Already about $800 have been subscribed for the various events. The invitation committee extend special request to every resident of the Similkameen valley and neighboring towns to come and participate in the fun and help celebrate the national day. Come. Rev. T. A. Osborne, it will be learned with regret, is about to leave Princeton, having been transferred to White Rock, a sea side watering re ort of much beauty near Blaine on the International boundary. He will be succeeded by Rev. Mr. Chadwell. During Mr. Osborne's residence here he has made many lasting friendships and is esteemed as a valued citizen, a faithful and capable preacher of the gospel of good cheer and heavenly hopes. Both be and Mrs. Osborne have the good wishes of every citizen. Mrs. A. Archibald left for her home at Edmonton last Monday, having visited a week with her sister, Mrs. How e. She admires the natural beauty of Princeton and her well known talent for painting may transfer some of it to canvas. Mrs. Archibald was a student of the masters in Paris, France, and her works have been selected by such famed art con noisseursas the late J. pierpont Morgan also Sir William Van Home, whose galleries tl'ev now adorn. Billy Knight has returned from a visit with Fred Watnpole on Fivemile and is much improved in health after a long siege of illness. His many friends hope to see him fully recovered soon. Miss Ruby Howse, Charlie Howse and J. Crowley paid a 'flying' visit here last Sunday in the family rar. Mr. Howse is manager of the Merritt Mercantile Co., having given over research in aeronautics. VICTORIA DAY AT KEREMEOS The celebration of Victoria Day at Keremeos was a great attraction and proved a grand success in sports, dance and entertainment generally. With its orchards, beautiful homes, lovely valley and affable people Keremeos is always attractive. The occasion was thoroughly enjoyed by the large contingent from Princeton.Some of the events were as follows: Baseball—Oroville beat Hedley 13 to 11; Penticton beat Oroville 7 to 5. Lacrosse—Princeton won from Keremeos 4 to 2. Rob. Carmichael, referee. The game was swift and en joyed by spectators. Brooks, McCurdy and Innis were ordered to the fence for making a rough field, otherwise the game was played according to lacrosse law. Eklund, the wrestler, put down four opponents and won out. The Penticton band provided the music. The lacrosse boys were entertained by J. A. Brown at his beautiful home. Mr. Brown is an enthusiastic lover of the game. MINING INSTITUTE. That although the mines of Rossland, since the Le Roi made its initial trial shipment of ore to Butte in 1891, have produced metals to the value of over $55,000,000, and that although tho shaft of the Centre Star mine has attained a vertical depth of 2,300 feet, the bottom of the ore bodies has not yet been reached, was the striking statement made at the opening of the 15th general meeting of the western branch of the Canadian Mining institute in Knights of Columbus hall by M. E. Purcell, manager of the Centre Star mine and chairman of the insti- tue. Additional interest is given to the series of meetings by reason of the fact that the sessions are being held jointly with the Spokane branch of the American Mining institute. The importance of the part which was played by Spokane capitalists in the early. development of the Rossland mines and by this camp in assisting materially in the upbuilding of the inland empire metropolis was referred to by speakers at the meeting. NEWSPAPER EDITOR VISITS. L. C. Bransom, a frontier newspaper editor and proprietor, arrived in town on an exploratory and outing trip. He has a hobby for hunting, trapping and fishing and brought along a couple of smart dogs with which to tree bear, mountain lions, cougar, goats and other wi d animals. He never runs to tall timber himself, having had the pleasure and satisfaction of standing off a mob at Tonopah, Nev., which threatened to demolish him and bis plant because he fearlessly exposed a gang of holdups and thugs. Mr. Bransom ran two daily newspapers at once at Tonopah and Goldfield, Nevada, and is a live wire with the quill. He had the late John Huston, printer, legislator and editor on his staff in Goldfield and surely there was 'something doing' all the time, not a minute that lagged, not a second that did not scintillate. John, of course, is now resting nicely (no editor deser\\- ed heaven more than he) while L. C. is ready for other newspaper fields. Mr. Bransom owned the Dawson Yukon Nugget, Medford Times, Ore., as well as the Nevada ventures. At present his family resides in Victoria, B. C, bnt he may remove to this district. He went to Tnlameen' Wednesdav and will visit Leadville and other mining camps. Mr Bransom is delighted with Princeton and the climate of the Similkameen. He was shown over the Star office and seemed quite interested in the plant and the deviL t —■-— *J 1 THE SIMILKAMEEN STAR KETTLE VALLEY RESURVEY Further delay in the construction of the Kettle Valley Railway through the Coquihalla River Valley is unavoidable. The last survey, made by C. J. Seymour, was practically completed before the conclusion of the agreement between the Ktttle. Valley and V. V. & E. companies. As an indirect consequence of that agrement a re- survey has been ordered by A. Mc- Culloch, chief engineer, of 11 miles ot the road from Hope east. The work is beginning at once under G. C. Clough. Camp will be pitched at the upper end of the section, 11 miles from Hope. It will be remembered that by the agreement made, the K. V. R. company is to build and operate 57 miles of road from Hope to Otter Summit. At the last-named point connection will be made with the V. V. & E. line from Princeton by way of Tulameen. The Kettle Valley line from Merritt westward to the summit is already nearly built. It is at the Hope end of the line that a problem is presented. The grade must be high enough to join on to the relocated C. P. R. main line by the bridge across the Fraser, and must also afford the V. V. & E. company an easy connection with the Canadian Northern tracks in or near Hope. These objects, it is expected, may both be attained by relocating the line through the canyon of the Coquihalla. How long the delay will be can hardly be stated in advance. A ser- vey of 11 miles is not in itself a formidable undertaking but this re-survey may prove so. Three times the Coquihalla valley has been surveyed by. railway engineers and the line through the canyon has been practically the same each time. It is difficult to find, a feasible alternative route line and yet ' that is what is now sought. Naturally a change in the line of the railway as it enters Hope may affect the approach to the bridge but the change, if any, will probably be very slight. The bridge crew is continuing the sinking of test holes. It was probably never contemplated that the building of piers would begin before the late autumn of the present year. Pending the re-survey of the line there can be no call for tenders for construction.—Yale Review. Careful inquiry has resulted in assurances from the majority of the growers in the districts that the frosts experienced here have not done any damage to the fruit crop. At present the outlook could hardly be better and there is every prospect for a bumper yield. Sunday real estate deals will not stand in law in Alberta. That was the effect of a decision handed down yesterday by Chief Justice Harvey. Alfred B. Swinsted brought suit against Gustave Anderson, seeking to annul an agreement in connection with a real estate transaction made on Sunday, and the decision was rendered in the plaintiff's favor.

GREAT DOMINION GROWS Hon. W. T. White, finance minister, has again proven his mastery' of detail, lucidity of statement and ability to marshal huge columns^^ figures in his budget and supplementary speeches. Additional^ti- mates amounting to $23,47.^316 were submitted to the house ojtcom- mons last week and this addled to the main estimates of $179,152,185 I makes a total proposed expenditure of $202,622,500. This is the first time that the estimates have exceeded the two hundred million dollar mark. The appropriations for British Columbia amount to about a million dollars and include such amounts as $25,000 for Ashcroft public buildings; Merritt, $20,000 ; Penticton, $15,000; Trail, $20,000; Greenwood, $35,000. Princeton was not mentioned this year : but that was no fault of the honorable minister. Canada is very prosperous and requires the vast sum mentioned, aye, more, to meet the exuberant growth and expansion of the young giant of the north. transportation. Between the producer and consumer no non-contributing cause toward the intrinsic worth of food should be allowed more than the actual cost of handling with a fair margin of profit. It is the duty of every government to prevent soulless companies from exploiting the poor, the mass of humanity—their food, and the other necessaries of life should be sacredly guarded from any fictitious values added to prime cost by the middleman or railroad. In public ownership of railways probably lies remedy for three-fourths of the evil connected with high costs of food and excessive freight charges.

These Companies will Shortly Operate on Extensive Scale and Establish Permanent Payroll. NOTES AND COMMENTS. An organization of miners and prospectors in other districts has been effected for their benefit and use, while in the Similkameen no such body seems to have been thought of lately. Local associations allied with a central or district body could accomplish much necessary good in directing the attention of investors to legitimate propositions and in an advisory way furnish such reliable information as might be required. Cooperative effort to secure legislation in the interests of the mining industry generally is the most effective way to impress legislators. A local mining association at Princeton would serve as a nucleus for the larger district organization. Can it be doue ? ^♦^♦^♦^♦^♦^^^♦^^♦♦^J^^^1 REMEDY J?OR HIGH COST OF LIVING Commissions a-plenty these days. Has one with full power and high pressure ever considered the cause of the high cost of living as intimately related with the railroads ? Endless complaints by individuals and public bodies are made regarding excessive freight, passenger and express rates. The farce of permitting railroad companies to raise their rates on some articles when compelled to reduce them on others is most ludicrous as well as annoying. If the cost of articles of food is increased fifty per cent, or more while conveyed by the railroads it is evident that the profits as between the producer, manufacturer, railroad company, wholesale and retail merchants and the consumer has been unbalanced. Some one is not getting value for his money. The cost of living ought to be regulated by the price of labor of the masses and not by some extraneous or non-producing cause, such as Every day one is reminded of the trend of the times to form societies, secret and fraternal orders, associations, companies, corporations, syndicates, trusts, mergers, pools, political rings and church combines. Organization, concentration, preparation, these are the watchwords of the hour. What does it all mean ? Are men finding out the folly of disunion, seoaratenessand suicidal competition ? If one may read the signs aright the near future will unfold a complete revolution in regard to personal, national and international relations. The world is improving, notwithstanding the pessimists, although vice and corruption are more flagrant. The spirit of unity manifest in visible unions is abroad. In union is strength and peace. 'That they all may be one' are words full of meaning for this day, the fruit of them being found in united effort along fraternal, commercial and religious lines. Unity is oneness, peace, separtion is loneliness, un- happiness, war. EAST PRINCETON The manufacture of cement will begin in a few weeks. A permanent payroll and a growing town with electric light system, waterworks and cement paved streets, will result from the industries now in formative stages. According to the history of progress in this province investments made now in East Princeton real estate must double and treble in a short space of time. This is the experience in other towns, why not the same in East Princeton ? Two railways will serve transportation. «ftfc A^k A^A A^A A^A A^A A+A A^A jjTfc A^A A^jfc tttTA tt&t.

McCURDY REAL ESTATE Fire and Life Insurance Specialty WAR IS BRUTISH, NOT MANLY That venerable Latin proverb, "Si vis pacem para bellum," has been used to drape so many disgraceful situations that the world has got to regard it almost as a truism. The world's memory is short, and its knowledge of history insignificant. If it were not for this, it might remember that ever since there were men on the .globe, they have been preparing, to fight without in any way preserving' peace. This was bad enough in the days of "Caesar's thrasonical brag," or when Alexander was sighing for more worlds to conquor. In the days, however, when Caesar and Alexander have given place to Undershaft and Lazarus, men have given up Latin and "Si vis pacem, para bellum" is paraphrased as national insurance, or security against war risks. The truth is that the maxim if you wish for war prepare for peace, has been the making of Undershaft and Lazarus. If you wish for peace, however, you had better set to work to get rid of the passions which make for. war. The perfecting of armaments does not show a great belief in peace, and though the world constantly hears that the more effective arms become the more impossible it will be to use them, the fact remains that the improvement of arms of precision has decreased rather than increased the percentage of casualties. The destruction in the armies of Marlborough and Eugene was greater in proportion than in those of Wellington and Napoleon, just as the losses sustained by Wellington and Napoleon were greater than those sustained by Moltke and MacMahon. ' It is not in actual fighting that the real horror of war is seen. It was in the retreat from Moscow and not at Borodino that the French suffered most, and anybody who will study Kinglake's diagrams of the diminishing Russian columns on the march to Sebastopol will learn to appreciate this very clearly. If there were anything to show that preparing for war had ever led to anything but more preparations, the proverb might be regarded with more respect. Unfortunately, the preparations are more like Danton's audacity than anything else. "What we require in order to. conquor," Danton declared, "is audacity, and yet more audacity, j and always audacity!" "What we require to preserve peace," says the modern statesman, "is preparation, and yet more preparation, and always preparation!" Yet what prevented war when Austria siezed Bosnia and Herzegovina was the simple fact that Russia was unprepared. If Russia had been prepared either Bosnia or Herzegovina would not have been annexed, or else there would have been a war. Logically, you might argue that what saved war on this occasion was the fact that Russia was exhausted by the war with Japan, and therefore that the way to prevent war is to go to war. There is one way, and one way only, to preserve peace, and that is by a higher civilization. A civilization not manifested in the power to produce dreadnoughts on the sea and dirigibles in the sky, but by destroying in humanity the lust of possession, hallowed by the term imperial.. The desire to retain a place in the sun'is as prolific of quarrel as the desire to obtain one, and it originated in that aboriginal imperialist to whom Rousseau bitterly declared it first occurred to set up a ring fence and to say, "This_is mine!" —Christian Science Monitor.

Gasoline and benzine will clean soiled clothing, gloves, etc., but it will also explode and is most inflammable.

LYALL, Manager ^^____________^^__________i_-___l PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE. The future and the past are stock subjects for those who love to worry and be miserable. Take no thought for the morrow: who can live the past over again? Man is here today and away tomorrow and it is good he can take! nothing with him; otherwise some 'hog' would take all and leave nothing for the poor. Be friendly, not intimate, with strangers. To force acquaintanceship i' worse than cold reserve, neither begets respect and respect is the rock all good mixers stand on. Good manners consist in giving offense to no one—love all, do good to enemies. If you care to know the best that our literature can give in simple.noble prose—mark, learn, and inwardly digest the Holy Scriptures in the English tongue.—Frederic Harrison. Common sense is doing the sensible thing and saying the right word when tempted to be silly or nonsensical. Wisdom is priceless, always beautiful. Work Is medicine and long life to the. clean minded. Life is eternal, undefinable God, All, ever active. Death is an enemy, evil, opposed to life. Life is spirit, unseen; death is decaying flesh, matter, seen. Death may be conquered by crucifying flesh and putting on spirit. Speak the word of praise, of encouragement: It mSakes you bigger and helps in life's struggle. We must all pass through the fiery trial before we get home, heaven. All are pilgrims here. The knocker, like sour land, produces noxious weeds. We can only have the highest happiness by having wide thoughts and much feeling for the rest of the world. —George Eliott. RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
