PLACER ENCOURAGING Though clean-up operations were Hampered by a rock and gravel slide, so that only an area of about 12 suuro feet could be cleared, a test eleanjUp at the Hartman-Gorddn placer property, Granite Creek, gave satisfactory nesults, according to Mr. nartuian. It was made in the presence' o. !viessr3. Adams (.Calgary) and Bennett (Pi'lnceotn) who have shown interest in the property. Values to $73.00 were taken from the twe've feet of Bedrock cleaned. Opr eratoiis are proceeding. SATURDAY, JULY 18 "The first attracton of the morning was to scour the slopes for deer; and there were several to be seen, having, an early breakfast at the bottom of the Iong elopes. Plans for Saturday called for a trip to-the Three Brothers, and it was not nepessary to move camp, or feed thq pack train-to follow. The route lay down the couth slope of the rid$e, which, in contrast to the other three s'des, is easy of access and slopes gently down into the valley below the Three Brothers, headwaters of Cam- bie Creek. The trip was a sequence of gorgeous pictures. The paint brush, lupine, and rarer mountain flowers, made a wonderful carpet with plenty of Canadian heather, pink, yellow, pUTiple and White, and there was long grass which was most tempting to the horses. We sealed the first of the Three Brothers peaks, and had a fine view. But the real thrill came on tho second or middle peak,--which is the h'ghest, reaching up into the clouds 7500 feet. It drops off sharply, a narrow ridge, forming a giant shale basin. Tne snow, formations were gorgeous. .There was an abundance of stunted flowers, and the trees tea were stunted. The view wo-- -""-farujs..; At the eye's command o. . . _ of mountains and valleys rolling h"ls and rugged peaks. The visibility was excellent, pud a magnificent view oi Mt. • Baker was afforded. The oil cials detected a sndwfleld which the assured themselves was the rare formation at the head of Butte Inlet At the very pinnacle is another surveyor's cairn. The youngest mem. ber of the party had with him a pock, et harmon'ca, and, picturesquely enough, he chose to play it at the mountain's highest point. The effec' was strange and remarkable. . We made the descent and lunchou In the shade of the trees. It was here that a .calamity befell the pro cession, the first accident of the trip, Bert Thomas discovered he did not have his pipe. Values change lm mensely in the h'lls, and Bert trekke way back to the swnmit for it, but returned downcast and pipelese. The Three Brothers was withoiU a doubt the graudest bit of scenic country we traversed, and- its attrac- t'vene&s lay not so much in sight as in suggestion. There seemed to open up a thousand different points of. in te*est, each beckoning the traveller to explore. SUNDAY, JULY 19 The adventure was now over, and, Ulysses like, we rested complacently in camp. From N'comen to Princeton in the not far distant past was a long call, but Nicomen to Vancouer was the destination of at least one of the party, so an early start Sunday was essential. After the Three Brothers country and several hours acclim'tizing, Nico- men's razor, back ;ost some of its terror s on the way down; and then oi course B:ljis breakfast offered a good foundation. One has even more time to contemplate- the scenery descend' Ing than ascending, however, and it 's BomoUCbg one will not readily ! t:r/'j=- Nlooineh one passes several ■ camp I'-Hea. One of these is named tfido Camp, after a dog which died and was buried there. The route out was. the same as ''n, this bVng the first time, we had to travel over "second hand" trail. But one could travel mOst of the trails a thousands times and still find some-, flhing new. -" - , At one'po'nt we saw where 'bears had eaten the bark off trees. We were not lucky enough to see a bruin on parade, and indeed, though we saw over twenty deer between Nicomen atfd Three Brothers, th number of horses and the consequent noise (Continued next week.) SS dSiSsSsS SHEEP MEN NOT SATISFIED WITH PARK COMPROMISE British Columbia shdep men are unmoved by observations of new range, land made on the recent rec- "onnaesianiC'e 'survey uindfer 'the auspices of the provincial government department of lands, Princeton board of trade learned th's week when they considered a copy of the report sub mitfed to the directors- of the B.C. Sheep Breeders' Association by their president, Wm. Harrison of Pritchard, who made the trip as the sheepmen's representative. While acknowledging considerable range on Lodestone, Deer'and Kettle Mountains and on the Big iPlateaU: Mr. aarrison found it his duty tc protest against any alenition ot pcosible range land, and sUggested- that the park bouhdaMes be moved southward and eastward, extending to Chilliwack Lake. The boatd showed little enthusiasm over the suggestion or over his attitude, and after listening to an oral report by its -representative on the trip, Mr. E. E. Bur*, Instructed him. to prepare! a written report which will likely be representative Of the board's attitude. It was suggested that since the sjveep men had shown themselves unwilling "tS^bmpromlse, the board- might consider it .advisable to restore their .claim* to their original bound aries, thus including the Twin Lates area which the board had been Willing to abandon for the sake of an equitable settlement, cennc misance Trip a a a « * * * aaaaaaaaaaa *-;4*8wORNET8 NOT POPULAR * •■^H * ;-Hornets are no- very popu'ar * with the affable minister of public jf * works: perhaps never, but from * now on at any rate. *.^|'4S?cat may look at a king, and a * * mere swarm of bees occasioned * * Hon, R.

EW3HT BLAZES REPORTED THIS WEEK BUT SITUATION BBCOW. ING SAFER While no fewer than eight new fires were reported th'® week, local fo ei-ry officla.t, were optimlstle re- gardng tho fire situation this morning. "The wOist is undoubtedly overn" said Ranger Evan Thomas. The temr perature has been steadily dropping, and the nights especially hare been cooler. Strong winds ettffr lm tlie week caused considerable anxiety, especially in the Okanagan. Humidity conditions are hottest, "but the need for strict care is urged by the local officials. Hoboes are blamed foi1 at lea**... one, and possibly many of the local fires, and the suggestion ft laid out by Evan J Thomas, local forest ranger, that mslcon- tent knights of ths Ir.i.i road, mcy be responsible for » s|re*t ru'nber of the fires.

Goodfellow, St. Paul's. . Life's pilgrimage, with its trials | snd its comforts, was the theme of i Rev. Father Carlyle's address. He spoke of its disappointment, its loneliness, Its losses. But these, he icon- tended, were only milestones, mark 'ing a Journey from the corrupt to the I incorrupt, from the temporal to tlie i eternal. •^{"■'Sy Rev. J. f\ Goodfellow based his j seranon of comfort on the. inspir.'ngi words of Paul, in First Corinthians I 15 and 55, "O grave, where is thy I victory?" The things; that unite and stronger | than those that dividei, he held: Benediction was pronounced i>y i Mr. Goodfel'ow, and floral offerings: were laid on the ffjaves by forjm-i : comrades, .-while Rev. .Father t'n j lyle said prayers for the dead.

Its reflection is not sentimental; not out of a desire to morosely brood over sorrow; but of a -realization that in life's bitterest pains, are unfolded the sweetest secrets' of human passion, human strength,. humanity itself. Fame, it has been truly said, is a fickle maiden. The THE CAT AND., killing frost of THE KING Sihakespeare'i's imfc mortal lines has ■been oft tasted by disappointed men in'Jhitt'er tears; and many a silken puifee has been made front the vulgar sow's ear. ' ■Some men act the fool and become herpes; and some heroes are the pub lic'is fools. Though well inside the broad limits of these extremes, thefuss that is kicked up over the trivial actions o)f some men in the public eye is, when the cases are treated in isolation, quite ridiculous. The flying colonel, Charles Lind- berg is „at this moment somewheije In Canada's1 northland, openly and avowedly on a vacation trip, and we would say he's Jolly well entitled to it, for few men have madegreater direct contrbutions to the advance ment of aviation science than Col. Lindberg. But why a hysterical pres« should immediately convert an avowed l.>n«ure Jaunt into a mission of faith, hope, aiid charity is morethan it i.-■ pot-slide fur a mere printer's dev il to uudH'Stnnd. When'l.mdy ci.ters the Arctic it cea ses to be the northern part of Canada where picturesque people ply their daily tasks and becomes a fearful Impenetrable wast of ice and snont, where it takes a super-man to even' brteathe. Lindberg is undoubtedly ■ one of tho greatest birdmen of the age, btut his caution and common sense1 stamp him time. He was 75 years of age. Mr. Grier was bom In Thorhburg, Ont., but for many years has been a resident of British Columb'a. He worked on the Victoria Times for a time and in Vancouver, and came to the Slocan country over thirty years agio. He was assoc'ated with newspaper work in New Denver, Greenwood and other Kootenay centres, and at the time of the Poplar gold rush edited a paper in" that then thriving camp. Later he founded the Lease;) at New Den; ver. which he conducted for some years. In 1919 and 1920 he leased The Kootenaian from H'lliard Power, going to New Denver and re-establishing The Leaser when Mr. Power disposed of The Kootenaian plant to M. B. McLaren. He has conducted The Leaser at New Denver since that time. His editorials in The Leaser have been widely quoted for their straight-fromi the.shoulder qualities. He was active in a campa'gn for thei rights of the Slocan district, a hardworking member of the district board of trade. MIMIMIIHMl BLAKEBURN MM,,* M,t Miss M.

Hunter returned as a very practical human being rath on Monday from a motor trip to the er than a'mythical demigod. It is very coast. true that the lone eagle's epic flig|ht across the Atlantic excited the public imagination and made him a national hero, but why it should distort a simple pleasure trip is' some thing we do not understand, and probably Lindbengi doesn't either. And we are not aware of any outstanding feat on the part of Mrs. Lindberg except that she married Col. Lindberg, and she would not appear to Require any sympathy on that account. The other day the the Prince of Wales figured in an auto accident in which a young lady in the other car was injured; and wasn't that a lucky ureak for the lady! Naturally enough the 'Prince, did what he could for the girl's injurios and no doubt threw in a box of chocolates or some nice fldwe'ns for good measure, for what's a few roses to a prince? But the pap ers told how expert a-nurse His High liess made, and no doubt.meant to suggest what a passionate lover he also is; and how we do seem to want to see the poor boy married. In fact it's so pronounced that the printer's devil, seeing1 so many anxious to have him slaughtered on the altar of matrimony begins toimagine he's becoming famous too. Truly fame is a fickle and often un reasonable maiden, and (the public imagination is very much like a fire cracker. If a man's a stunter he's fam oua, ahd we're far too busy looking for stunters to be ready to reeognize heroes. And so, hot after human interest, our front pages invent modern Hercules' and transform pleasure Jaunts into terrors, while the real acts of untinted heroism pass unrecognized until some Paul or. some Shakespeare Comes forward- and gives us a Good Samaritan or a Falstaff. And the unknown merchant of Sam aria endures through the ages, and Falstaff gladdens the hearts of all who meet him regardless of time or clime, while the nursemaid star-box story is no longer worth its place in the forme after the second edition. And the reason is that the one is a genuine. touch of what is finest in Unman nature, but like everything)'of beauty is so hard to crystallize into form or figure; the other is the padded' emotionalism of the sensational salesman. And sentimentality is as cheap as sentment is precious; the one as eternal as the other is temporal, d^j ii A visit to Vancouver during the Canada Pacific Exhibition to be held there August 22 to 29 will be an Inexpensive and tremendously interest-.

C Relieve that pain safely You can always relieve that ache or pain harmlessly with Aspirin. Even those deep-seated pains that make a man's very bones ache.

Read the proven directions in every package of genuine Aspirin, and don't endure any needless pains from neuralgia, neuritis, rheumatism, "ii^: Keep a bottle of these tablets ia the house; carry the pocket tin if Subject to unexpected headaches,^ sudden colds.

I less CHILDREN CHILDREN will fret, often for no apparent reason. But there's always Castoria I Harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. But its gentle action soothes jj a youngster more surely than a more powerful medicine. That's the beauty of this special children's remedy I It may be given the tiniest infant—as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea oi similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset—tills pure vegetable preparation is usually all that's needed. Sport Stubbs Pounds Out Smashing • J o- FOSTER FAILS TO REPRODUCE OLD FORM AND STUBBS POUNDS WAY TO VICTORY a a a a a CAStORIA iSiave time, save trouble,, save eye sight—have -it printed. No matter what the Job it is cheaper to have it printed. The Star has a com- jllate printing wrrias, • Ruggedness and headwork formed a combnation ..which young Johnny Foster found it beyond him to overcome, iand on Saturday Kid Stubbs reversed in decisive fashion the verdict of a Fortnight previous and puno tuated Foster's sequence of victories'. The battle, however, was something of a disappointment to the packed house. It lacked the fiery action of the previous meeting. The boys started out to fight Queen- sbury rules, and ended up fighting no ru.es at all, not even the Golden Rule. Stubbs had evidently given the mat ter thought, for he changed his tactics and showed fine generalship all the way, and beat a cleverer, faster, man by heady tactics, Foster's guard ls notlcably hlgh.and Stubbs took advantage of the target offered, and at the risk of face punishments, pumped over an occasional stomach blow, and by Foster's distress Stubbs' punching power was evident. This made Foster lower his gua:d, wheh he did at the expense of his face^'The result was that Foster's defense was badly confused and hie who.e style upset. In his manner of attack too Stuibbs Introduced new 'tactics which surprised Foster and which were materially harder! to .combat. Instead of piling in relentlessly and recklessly to get aver a punishng haymaker, and more often than not taking Foster's straight left counjer flush to the face, Stubbs came on as relentlessly as ever, but far more cautiously, and Foster's dou ble-purpose left was far less effective Stubbs' one blunder was one of over caution. Obviously a little wary about the ten round distance, he eased off mid-way, and was caught nhpplnglo the ninth by Fos'ter's game comeback. Though the crowd was divided in ^!s opinion after as well as before the the'fig|hti, there" was.little doubt-as to the winner! Stubbs scored three knockdowns, for counts of nine, eight and six, .and at least twice had Foster in a bad way. There were only two rounds in which Foster could cllaim ■the edge, and at no time was he his usual convincing self. The official call was unanimous, Those clinches The fight had its farcical side.As a'ujatter^oif fact except n a broad-mln ded town- like our's the fight would have been all over in. the finst round The boys made a ridiculous effort at Queensbury rules, and technical fouls were so numerous that It was Impo slble to count them* and the crowd was in an uproar. No doubt referee Norman did the popular thing by ig norlng this for the crowd undoubtedly came to see a red-blooded fight| But though working like two niggers Jim was just a third inan in the ring. From the first it was obvious that Stubbs had very definite ideas about the fight, and while Foster commanded respect Stubbs was the man who set the pace during the early rounds. Foster fought back strongly but In at least half the early rounds the older itighter was irresistable. Midway thr ough Foster rallied gamely, but the punishment of the early rounds had told on him. During the intermediate stages both fighters held back some what, but in the ninth Foster launched a determined attack which caused the Winner no little trouble, but Stubbs, with plenty In reserve, came through Birungly in the ninth and had Foster in trouble at the end. I. Stubbs looked a much clave/or boxer than in his first appearance but needless to say the fight did not strike the '■erowd's'fancy as did the'first gory aft air. The bouse was a sell-out. PRELIMS GOOD No doubt taking the cue from the seniors the youngsters threw mitts [wholesale in two last preliminary battles. Ji f: Caruso, the mighty Prince- to.n midget found'his match In Youns; ■MM»r of Blakeburn. The third was especially fast. In the other bout Mi Ian Vladetich of Princeton and Drake of Blakeburn threw plenty of leather into a three round draw. Two English ladsv who drifed In put up a battle^hat left nothing to 'be desired to the way of action. THE VERDICT 10 Even Stubbs Even Foster S,ttabbsi Stubbs Even Stubbs Foster Stubbs aaaaaaa.

This level hipped the slope about 1500 feet from tlu' surface, at what is known as the "Is mckle." The upper "tunnel was 11. -d as a return airway. The level was electrified and cars were pulled by an electric" motor from the knuckle to the bunkers, abotft'a mile away, and coal was transferred to buckets on an aerial'tramway, to the shipping point, Coalmont, 4 miles from Blakeburn,' on the Kettle Valley Railway.
