It is stated that the company is now producing copper at a consolidated loss of nine cents a pound at its Anyox and Allenby properties. Costs for the second quarter of the year were 9.95 cents; the first quarter 12.07 cents, and the full year 1929 10.614 cents. HOPE FOR GAIN A slow. Improvement in copper demand foi] September and October is expected in financial circles, says a Toronto report. A turn for the better is expected despite the increase of 25,000 tons in stocks of refined copper in North and South America in August. At the end of August the quantity was 347,688 tons-, the largest since July 1921, following the post war glut. Messrs. Lavensaler and Price, well known American mining men passed through Princeton Tuesday en route to the Coquihalla to examine the P. Y. Smith property. They also visited Hedley. • • * * WESTERN MINERS IN RUSSIA The Soviet Government of Russia is continuing its search for experienced mining men on thig continent to acquire their aid in the development of the mineral resources of the'r country. J. A. McLaughlin, formerly mine superitnendent at Copper Mountain, is manager of the mines department at Uralinedstrom on the Asiatic .side of the mountains and in the same latitude as Sitka, Alaska, where there ar© two copper mines under development for which a 2000 ton concentrator is now under construction and should be in operation this- fall. John Swanson, formerly of Anyox, is superintendent of one of these . mines. All the mining equipment is of German manufacture and everything is of the ve.y latest and most modem design. FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Last week, October 5 to 11, Was fire prevention week throughout Canada, There were no special local observances, IMMEDIATE RELIEF GRANTS MADE AT BLAKEBURN MEETING Temporary relief extensions were arranged in the majority of the forty-five "Gases, and every case Was considered, when the local dlstri'bu'ti'on commit'tiee of ij'ie Blakeburn Relief Eland met In conference with the appointed • trustees at B'^ikeburn Wednesl day evening. The committee presented considerable data as .a result of careful and etxendve investigations, and detailed discussion was possible in the ma-' jor'ty of cases. One "or two cases were held over for further investigation. Money thus voted will tide over the sufferers until such time as a, final distribution is possible. This cannot be undertaken until returns from all sources are ln, ^-Tfe. first snow of the win'er, and ree'Gjid low tcmpe'iatures, for the sea- ros weS-e recorded throughout the Similkameen this week. Snow varied froBfc.a trace at Keremeps to six or se:**fh inches at Blakeburn and Cop- I per^'Mt. Throughout the larger pa*-t Vof ijter district enow was light and dis- 'appsjared quickly.

On a pleasure jaunt on the Meirrltt road Sunday theyj noticed, at a point near the..- junction of the Princeton * andja -Tula-nee:*'• roads "lis.jStSFsn•'Grove© on animal in a -field. At first J they thought it a caw but invesL' ligation revealed 't to- be a big black bear. They were not hunting but had a shotgun in the car, and a quan* tity of buck-shot. When the first discharge was made it is; hard to say who was more frightened, the nimrods or Mr. Bruin, but the boys continued fo pump ' shrapnel into Mr. Bruin, and eventually he succumbed. Bear steaks are the order for F. Caldwell, L. Dwan D. Williams, R. Harris, A. Clark and M'ssess Gomm and Hall. DANCE SUCCESS ' The Hard Times dance held in the Communi.y Hall at Copper Mt.

Looking Ii O /er THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1930 When the good people of Penticton pick up tht ir paper and peruse the advertisements, as all iCOALS TO sensible people do NEWCASTLE they read a logical, persuasive admonition to keep Jack Frost outside by. laying in a commodious stock of Vancouver Isiand coal. , If one travels . t.'rough the Okanagan one sees iLit Drumheller coal, judging by the signs In the coal yards, has a strong hold. It is pushed. Now no one will criticize the Penticton paper for advertising Nanaimo coal, Its logical function is to serve all who are sharp enough to make use of it. But on the face of things, isn't It a little ridiculous? Coal brought five hundred miles, admittedly inferior for straight domestic use, sold and -pushed in a thriving market seventy odd miles from the reputedly greatest domestic coal field in British Columbia. Of course, the local mines are not greatly concerned, because, they gay,, they have a ready market for all 'the coal they oin produce. Maybe so, but there is something radically wrong when coal is brought five hundred miles across a vast coal field, and sold to our next door neighbor,'while Iocs? mines employ few men and produce small tonnages. If the coal is worth mining, it surely is worth mining in quantity large, enough to supply an immediately accessible market. Somewhere else in th's Issue a local enthusiast discourses on our coal resources, and presents a plan for their development. Wie don't know much about coal resources or coal mining, but we do know that when Drumheller or Nanaimo coal crosses our part of the country over tons of our unmined coal, it ls mighty poor business- for us. There is no use blaming Nanaimo or Drumheller. They have a right to sell their coal where they may. That they are able to sell the Okan- agan.is just a confession of our own weakness. Ihe salesman who fails should not blame the customer but himself. 2|1@ It surely is high time our coal resources were capitalized. You could pick up the Princeton Star for months at a time ada for all the advertising the mines do, you might as well expect to look for coa; at the nortb pole. And it they won't go after their own home market, how can they sell the market farther afield? It seems to us it would be good business for the mines to sell, more coal Their only argument is that to sell more coal would mean they would have to mine more. Weil, why not? WmmEmWmmWmtLmWrmWBt THE "FALL" OF •THE YEAR One of my first really graphic impressions of autumn was not half so dramatically impressed upon me as it was upon the negro with me, old Caesar Moutlilie, who, when I was a plantation boy, used to be frequently commissioned to accompany me on some of my expeditions into ihe forest wilds. He was a good comrade, was tolerant of my boyish \iews, was wise in and ancient nature-taught way, and .left me many a happy memory. That day in late September we wero sitting together under a big hickory nut tree, a few resplendent leaves from which glided to the placid waters of the creek before us, and rested there, sumptuously,, royal barges for the Cleopatras of the fairy world. . . . Old Caesar had laid his battered cap on the grass geside him. His bald head glistened amiably. I was half asleep. The universe seemed- to be in a oyous trance. When I heard a slight sound in the hickory tnea overhead, II just thought big! gold leaf had started down. But this was no drifter. In a second, with a resounding crack, a heavy hickory nut landed squarely on the top of Caesar's head. The nut, clipped from Its twig by a foraging gray squirrel,. was still in its outer green shell, and therefore doubly heavy. The blow was enough to knock out an ordinary man. But Caesar, after an initial blink at the moment of contact, reached over, picked up the nut. looked at me, and chuckled. "De fall o' de year done come," he said. The fall of the year! It is a magic expression, ancestral, poetic, universal. It is like nightfall, like, day- spring, .like evenfall. The year ripens ike an indolent misty peach— and falls. Sundown is the fall of the sun—his gorgeous foundering in the blazing vortex of the West. Those critics- ot language who insist that we always say "autumn" overlook the approriateness and the beauty of connotation of "fall." The fact that dictionaries do not always give it is. perhaps one reason why it should be treasured.—Archibald Rutledge in "Peace In the Heart."

It means the mainteniance of more homes in the province. It meaas the continued local cir culation of funds which otherwise would leave the province. It means, if every B.C. user of coal will use local coal, that the Vancouver Island Nicola-Princeton land Crow's Nest Pass coal fields, whose coal workers have been struggling on half time or less for months, again will be favored with prosperous conditions. For these reasons British Columbians should consider carefully the source of the coal which fills their bins this winter.

Water supply was. the crux at the annual general meeting at which fine j-Jthlisiasm was shown by a large 2ong.cgation of members. It was Indicated that this year an increase in membership would be shown, while Prine' eon will enjoy the benefit of ■Allenby's- inabili y lo provide the an- icipated accommodation for this winter at least. Upwards of half a doz jfi Allenby curlers are expected to join up with Hie local club. A Etrohg- slate of officers was nam [bdi-and instructions wore given to make immediate preparations' for the incoming season. As far as possible most matters will be attended to be- 'ie?e.' the advent of curing weather. Clearing their books at $1248.15, despite last year's neavy initial expense, the curlers were able to iShow ,3 balance of $13.62 on the fi nit year's operations. Operating expenses for the season were only $176.40. Election of officers brought forth "ome keen contests. The final slate is-'-atjSfollpws: E -Presid-at—J. L Coles. ,■'• Vice-president—A. L.

Last year considerable trouble was experienced hrough pipes freezing. The club has wo alternatives, to sink their pipe or to d'g a well. -The off cert- will make an investigation and act ac- . ording to their findings.

Taken; How It Should Be Represented." Develop the Coal Fle'lda Often it-has been voiced and written, at banquets and tthrough the press, that Princeton is the hub of _ coal field comprising more than 10 square miles of area. Has anyone ever thought what this means? In this area there are No. 1 seam, 4. ft. thick; No. 2 seam,* 7 ft. thick; No. 3 seam, 6 ft. ijiick. Immediately above No. 2 seam there a 4 ft. seam. These measurements total 4 plus 7 plus 6 plus 4 equal 21 ft. of coal. The tonnage in this immense field is ON THE MEND Thg delay in the movement of the short crop has already had its efect. Transportation lines on land and water have been -deprived of traffic and unemployment in these services has followed. The»e adverse influences have in lesser degrea affected busi- _ei» genrally, ana to them may in part be attributed the reaction of recent months. No waning confidence ta BRITISH COLUMBIA In practically all lines business is below normal and collections slow. Milder weather has permitted some resumption in industry, but construe- therefore 21x12x120x10-640, equalling | tion work has not yet commenced to any extent. The domestic lumber market shows signs- of more activity, 193,536.000 tons of coal VAST WEALTH This- for the Princeton coal field is a very conservative estimate, yet, what does it mean? If we had a mine at Nine Mile, one at Bromley, one at Pleasant Valley, one at Tulameen, and one at AJshington, *11 mines, each producing 300 tons of coal per day, would be 1500 tons of coal per day from the Princeton coal fl-ld. Assuming these mines worked 300 days a year, the yearly output would .be 1500 times 300, equalling 450,000 tonis; . thig divided into our conservative estimated quantity,, thus 193,536,000 by 450,000 would equal a life for the Princeton coal field of an output of 1500 tons per day, 300 days a years for a period cf 430 years. This would give employment to 600 men. Wouldn't Princeton prosper with a steady. payroll of 600 men, the anlswer a positive "yes." Yet, what is Princeton doaig to bring this' about, "nothing." Instead of this vast coal field being developed at our door, what .'s happening? Mining men say the coal is here, statistics give It the name of a coal ceentre. Capital has come in here and many thousands cf dollars have been dropped to develop our coal fields. Few have made it stick, to the ones that have w-e raiise our hats, for it ls to them we look to the future cf Princeton. "Why should this exist in so rich a coal field? If we take into account the money lost in searching for this coal does it not at once reveal itself to you, how nice a mine or mines there could have been; how nice a town we would be living in; how nice a community. If all those thing's appear so nice, why do we not strive to bring them about. Again the response, how?" Going back on these figures, 1500 tons per day, this represents: loyalties to the government of 15.00 per day, 300 days, equals per year $4500 or 430 years $1,935,000 in rayolt'es. This is lying at our door and should be extracted from - the resources. This being so do you not think that some progressive means should be adopted so as this may be a reality instead of being dreamed and written about, and remain lying dormant. Before it has been stated that if the money wasted on finding coal had been the means of mines working but the export markets, except in Europe, are weak. Grain shipments to date total 25,509,697 bushels, compared with 60.438,649 last year,. Cattle prices are firm and stock are wintering well. Pending an improvement in metal prices, many mines are cur- shown in the view that the halt ie but temporary, and that with the advent cf spring and resumed activities of nsvigatlon unemployment will diminish and the volume of trads expand. Mean- ..whtildi, current quietude Is, not likely to disappear. During the present year important contributions to industrial and commercial activity will be made by governments and railway corporatiaasv The Canadian Pacific Railway budget calls for large' expenditures.

There clan be no denying the .importance of mental reaction, influencing our act'ons, overcoming our environment. Ma's homely psychology recog- nizes that there is a lot to the way you feel about it. For instance, dad's lumbago that was so acute when there were spuds to hoe msytertously vanishes when two or three of the boys call him for a little game. Prosperity is yours for the' feelings.

THURSDAY. OCTOBER 16. 1930 AGRICULTURE ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS Victoria, Oct. 13.—Weather c*m- tinues fair with beautiful sunshine during the day and light frost al right. A shipment of onions was received ' this morning from -Washington. No change in prices: Hay - producers on Vancouver 'f land and the Lower .Mainland may ebsurprised to learn that some B.C consumers are importing timothy hay from Washington. Thsi week over 400 bale's were cleared at the Vancouver custom house for a customer in Northern B.C. It is cla'med tint Washington hay costs less- than Salmon Arm hay and more than Fraser Valley timothy, but the quality is claimed to be equal to Salmon Arm and superior to the Lower Fraser Valley grown hay. Whether this contention is right or wrong the fact remains that hay., that should be produced in sufficient quantity, is being imported. It looks as if local hay is being held at a trifle too high a price for present competitive quotations.
