[The Greenwood Weekly Times]
BC Historical Newspapers
The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day.

W. Peters, general freight and passenger ag-ent of the C. P. R.. with headquarters at Winnipeg; H. "Si. McDonnell, general freight agent, with headquarters at Nelson, accompanied by R. H. Hedley, superintendent of the Hall Mines Smelter and a party of Manitobans arrived here on Tuesday on the private car Earnsclifte and remained here over night returning via Phoenix and Grand Forks on Wednesday. Mr. Peters stated he was here merely routine business and that his visit had no particular significance. When prominent railway men have no particular business something of importance often happens. The C. P. R. is no quitter and its officers enjoy a battle just as much as any railway men. It is not to be supposed that the big Canadian company is going to sit idly by and allow that awful man Hill to gobble up all the good things in the way of freight in Southern British Columbia and before the snow flies it is more than probable that the C. P. R. will do a little railway building on its own account. Nature plays no favorites and it is just as difficult for the C P. R. to get over Sidley mountain as it is for the Great Northern. No suitable pass has yet beeu discovered and to build a road on present information would mean a lengthy detour of expensive railway building. But the C. P. R. can reach the Similkameen in another way. The Daly Company at Hedley is alreaby in a position to give a railway a big tonnage. Other mines can be quickly placed on a shipping basis aud the Similkameen and Nicola are today the most attraclive field in British Columbia~f6r~a."new "railway." While "Hill is busy in the Boundary, there is nothing to prevent the C. P. R. building from Spence's Bridge through the Nicola coal fields, Aspen Grove,' Tulameen, Princeton and Hedley and as far eastward as it cares lo come. By the time Hill could reach there the C. P. R. would be installed and would have the cream of the trade in a district which is bound to become the banner camp in British Columbia. Harry IS. Macdonnell is going into Similkameen and Nicola on a voyage of discovery. The Daly people have already contributed thousands of dollars in freight rates to the C. P. R. exchequer and Mr. Macdonnell will doubtless size up the situation with a view to informing the big guns of his company that here is a district where the railway that gets there lirst i.s sure to do a large and prolitable business. The route from Spence's Bridge to Hedley offers no serious difficulties. It passes through a comparatively open country without serious grades and but little heavy work. The road could be speedily built and should the C.P.R. decide to begin this summer could be completed to the latter point before fall. RESIGNATION ACCEPTED ^^^^^^^^^���fc*^^^*^ W. Yolen Williams Has Moved to Spokane. William Yolen Williams, whose resignation as superinteutend ofthe Granby mines was accented to take effect on the 1st instant, has moved to Spokane, where he will make his headquarters, being retained at the same time in a consulting capacity by the Granby consolidated. For a year Mr. Williams' health has not been of the b.st. A. B. W. Hodges, who has charge of both mines and smelter, has appointed C. B. Smith, Jr., as superintendent {of mining operations, Mr. Smith having been resident engineer at Phoenix. B. C, for the Granby company under Mr. Williams for several years, and is a graduate of the mining* department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before leaving Phoenix Mr. Williams was the recipient of two testimonials of the esteem in which he has been heid there, one coming from the men under him at the mines, the other from the residents of Phoenix. The men presenned Mr. Williams with a valuable diamond ring, together with an address engrossed and framed. Half a dozen business men of Phoenix, headed by the mayor, waited on Mr. Williams and informed him that, as an expression of the appreciation cf the residents generally, they had arranged to fit up his Spokaneoffice with suitable furniture. It is'probable that no man in the Boundary today has more friends than Mr. Williams, who has been a resident for more than six years He has won friends without ostentation by his uniform kindness, courtesy and consideration for all with whom he came in contact. He carries the sincerest wishes of every one for his future success and prosperity. W. Y. Williams is a native of North Wales, and when he arrived in New York city, at the age of 17, could not speak a word of English. At the early age of 10 he went to work in the slate quarries i:i his native land, where, he worked till he came to this side of the water. He spent a number of years in Vermont, aad later in Michigan, and then began a westward movement, going to Denver, Leadville and then to Mew Mexico. In the latter territory he had charge of some large copper mines at San Pedro for three years, after which he came north, Iu August, 1884, Mr. Williams went to Butte, and after working four shifts had an accident that laid him up for months. Then he spent some time in California, and later went to the Coeur d'Alenes, remaining there nine years, being foreman and superintendent for of the Sierra Nevada group, owned by George B. McAulay and Mr. DeLasii- mut. In November, 1895, Mr. Williams went to Rossland, and had charge of the Nickel Pl.ite mine for Scoit McDonald, holding that responsible posi. tion for two years. Then he accepted a similar position for O, G. Laberee and the Big Three group. When these properties were organized by S. H.,C.���Miner,_aud_ -..Jay^J^JGraves,���_Mj\ Williams was selected to have charge, aud also of the Boundary mines of th; Miner-Graves syndicate, as it was then known. This included the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill. When Mr, Williams first came to Phoenix, in March, 1898, the present Granby mines had but little work done thereon. Since that time the group has had 23.000 lineal feet of sinking, raising, drifting and crosscntting done, beside about 1500 feet of diamond drilling. This does not include work in the extensive open ore quarries. The mines have also shipping more than 1,250,000 tons of ore to the company's smelter, and have been equipped with the largest ore crusher and compressor plant at any mine in Canada This was all dene under the siiperinleudcucy of Mr, Williams.

The construction of the Boundary branches of the Great Northern railway is being rushed with all speed. Usually railway contractors are allowed their own lime to complete the work undertaken without the enforcement of the penalty clauses, but Mr. Hill has given early notice to J. W. Stewart the contractor for the Grand Forks-^-Phoenix branch that the work must ba completed within the time stipulated. Unless something- unfor- seen happens,' the work will be completed before November 1st and trains should be running over the road before December. Good progress is also being made on the Curlew-Midway branch. Mr. Hill's hoste in securing the construction of these branches after a policy of delay for over a year leads the knowing ones to the conclusion that something has happened in the meantime. The statement that Mr. Hill has secured control, of the Granby mines is.still adhered to notwithstanding the denial of H. C. Miner, the president of the company. It is also rumored that the change of control is responsible for the numerous changes in the officers of the company. W. Yolen Williams,- the big successful mine superintendent has already taken his departure; P. Dermody, the mines foreman is no longer connected with the company; H. N. Galer is out and it is even reported that A. C. Flumerfelt, Mr. Miner's confidential man is giving his entire time to the International Coal company at Coleman. It is even rumored that Jay P. Graves who successfully floated the big Granby company is devoting his time and energies to his'strcet'rail way" scheme-in Spok-- ane. A W. B. Hodges, the erstwhile smelter manager is now general manager of the company and the mines are iu charge of C. B.. Smith who heretofore was connected with the compauy in the capacity of mining engineer. The Granby mines are now shipping about 2000 tons a clay and this can be increased at anytime. The distance between the mines and smelter is about 30 miles and the distance between the smelter aim the Fernie coke ovens is considerable. The distance between the converter and the New York market for copper is still greater. Now 2000 Ions of ore a day wilh the necessary coke to treat it, necessary supplies for mines and smelter and the long haul to the eastern refineries look good to a railway man like J. J. Hill. He is always after freight anil iu order to gel a cinch on tlie Granby business it j i.s said that he quietly secured control of the big company and will now be in a position to deliver the goods to his own railway. There is also a rumor���not well de- lined���but still a rumor, that Hill is behind the merging of the Montreal & Boston and Dominion Copper companies, that when this company is successfully floated, the smelter at Boundary Falls will be increased and the railway will be rushed from Mid way to Eholt. Mr. Hill will then have the Boundary mining district encircled and having control of its principal big mines and smelters, he can revel in a heavy tonnage without being worried about rates quoted by his rival the Canadian Pacilic Railway. j Lost���SI gold stick pin "American '. coin" between National and Pacific i hotels.

Where I this ore has oxidized on the surface it is almost blood red in color, and a few handsful of the dirt will show a long string of very fine colors in the gold pan when washed. Only a few feet from this principal showing a fourfoo vein running in the same direction has been exposed by open cutting which assays S30 to $120 in gold and $1.60 in silver. The average values are between S80 and $90 from this lead. Work has been contined principally to open cuts. The greatest depth reached was by sinking SO feet in ore running about $10 to the ton. Where the lead becomes wider and richer. however, the deepest cut is not over IS feet. There is plenty of water fora large stamp mill in close proximity to the building of a road 6 or 7 miles would make it possible to bring in machinery from Penticton by Connecting with the Nickel Plate road.���COMt DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP. Hogan, who figured in a holdup scrape here a few years ago, has been arrested in Vancouver on a similar charge. Hogan and a man named Glencross were arrested on a charge of conspiring to rob a gambler named McGuigan but the charge could not be proven. In the Vancouver case the robbers secured about $7000 from Quann Bros, and Hogan is supposed to be the leader of the gang. EARLY CONSTRUCTION. Application For Liauor Licence All Indications are Very Favorable to Railway Building. Nicola, B. C. June 27, 190+���AP indications point to the early construction of a railway through the Nicola valley from Spence's Bridge and connecting this promising section with the Similkameen and the Boundary. It is felt that the C. P. R. will not give up this territory to the Great Northern without a struggle and that the activity of the Great Northern in the Boundary will prove an incentive to the slower going Canadian road. During the past two weeks a well known mining engineer has been in the district bonding coal measures. It is believed by some that he is acting for the C. P. R. while others claim that he is representing the Standard Oil Company and that he is securing the coal measures in order that coak may be secured for their mining interests at Hedly. The Nicola coal is first class coking coal and will prove invaluable in the treatment of the ores of the adfoining districts Henry Hewett of Tacoma is also here looking for investments. Mr. Hewett was formerly one of the owners of the Tacoma smelter. He is now a large shareholder in the Tacoma Smelter company and is heavily interested in Texas mining properties. He states that the Nicola valley is,rich in copper, iron and coal and that the district offers the greatest possible inducements .to .-capital. ^He^has -been out in the hills several days looking at properties and he will probably invest extensively for himself and his associates. GOLDEN ZONE GROUP. PRACTICAL WATCHMAKER AND JEWELLER. AU work guaranteed GREENWOOD. Owners Developing Bonanza Gold Property in Camp Hedley- Possibly, of all the comparatively undeveloped properties in Camp Hedley, the Gelden Zone group owned by Marks, Brodhagen &Murphy, and situ ated about four miles north of the Nickel Plate mine, as the crow flies, will prove the most promising and attractive to the eye of the mining man seeking a profitable investment for surplus capital when the transportation difficulties that hamper this district have been removed and the public generally become awakened to the fact that in this camp there exists the largest and richest bodies of gold ore yet found in the province. The owner of the Golden Zone origi na'ly located the group on a white quartz vein tour feet wiee, running from S5 to $15 in gold and silver. In trading this lead by shallow shafts and open cuts they discovered what appeared to be two separate arsenisal iron veins lying parallel and within a distance of 70 feet, but work now being done on the property would indicate that one ofthe arsenical leads is in reality a continuation of :the white quartz vein, the character of the ore having changed and the vein widened to nearly twenty feet. The arsenical iron showings are fully 1000 feet from the outcrop of the white quartz vein where it was first discovered. This main lead at the eastern end has a remarkably fine showing of arsenical iron of a massive, fine-grained character, from which gold assays NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that tlie partnership heretofore existing between ihe undersigned,.under the firm name of Dempsey & McPlurson, carrying' on business as Hotel Keepeis at the Boundary Palls Hotel, at Boundary Falls in the District of Yale, is this dav dissolved bv mutual consent.

P- Since 1867. Hon. David Wark, a member of the Senate of Canada���to which body he was called by royal proclamation on the first day of Confederation, July, 1867���has recently completed his one hundredth year cf existence. There are not many wellestaolished instances of such a long life. A well authenticated case in recent years is that of Sir Moses Montefier, an Englishman, who was born at Leghorn on October 24, 1784, and who lived beyond the centennial anniversary of his birth. Mr. Wark was born near Londonderry, Ireland, on February 19, 1804, and educated in the ordinary parish schools. In 1825'he came to New Brunswick to seek his fortume. The whole population the Province was then less than 75,000 souls. Mr. Wark in telling of his life relates the fact that when he came to the Province there was little to be done at clerking, so he readily too up work at shipbulding. After a time he got employment to keep a trader's books, then he taught school. This was at what is now Moncton. but which was then known as the "Bend" of the Petitcodiac River. An earnest Presbyterian he found no church of that denomination at Moncton, and soon removed to Richibucto, where there was one. He opined a school and for some -tirne taught the young idea of the place all the English branches, and also navigation mensuration, trigonometry, then in request as studies for boys. But this was hard work for one teacher among children of all ages and conditions. Mr. Wark abandoned it and entered upon mercantile life, in which for thirty years he was engaged. He also gave great attention to agricultural work, and in time became one of the most eminent and successful farmers of Kent county, lu 1842 Mr. Wark was elected a member of the House of Assembly for Kent county, N. B. his colleague being the late Judge Weldon, father of the late Mr. C.4V.-Weldon.of���St.^John._Asji legislator Mr. Wark soon made considerable impression upon the House and the Province. He was a prudent safe and rehsonable man of excellent judgement, moderate in the expression of his opinion, and well informed upon many of the matters which affected the welfare of the people. After some' years in the House he was appointed to the Legislative Council in 1851 and he occupied a seat in that body until he was called to the Senate. From 1858 until 1862 he was in the executive council, being a colleague of Fisher. Tilley and other liberals of that time, and for a time he held the office of Receiver-Generel. In such matters as developmeni of agriculture, the diffusion of education, the extension of trade, Mr. Wark was an active promotive. steady, earnest life which is better for the country in which it is lived than any meteoric display of brilliant but erratic intellectuality. It is claimed for him, and probably correctly, that he is the oldest legislator in the world, not merely in age, but in the long career which began sixty-two years ago and has continued ever since. Perhaps the King of Great Britain and Ireland-:.nd. of all the British dominions beyond the seas ought to be congratulated upon the fact that he has in these dominions the~6ideslTlegisTat6r! living and that he is a man well-deserving of honor. The men who were in public life in New Brunswick when Mr. Wark entered the Legislature in 1842 have all disappeared from the scene. Of the Senators when he was called to the Senate iu 1867 there is only one other in the body now. Hon. William Miller, of Nova Scotia; of his New Brunswick colleagues in that body in 1867 one still lives���Hon. A. R. McClelan, who ceased to be a Senator when he became Lieutenant��� Governor of tliis Province. In 1860 when fifty-six years of age, Mr. Wark married Miss Elizabeth Annie Burpee, of Sheffield, Suubury county, a sister of the late Hon. Isaac Burpee. Mrs. Wark died a few years ago. A daughter survives. ERNEST J. CARTIER, Proprietor.

Mr. Wark in his long political career, covering a continuous period of sixty-two years, has ever been on the side of movements to help the people to help themselves. The New Brunswick Saving Bank system as perfecte was largely due to his judgment. In the Senate of Canada he has ever acted with the Liberal party, but towards all parties he has been just and moderate. His life has been actuated by a strong sense of duty, and he has regarded public position as a trust given to him to be exercised for the benefit of his fellowman. Conscientious, honest, single-minded, temperate, methodical, prudent, Mr. Wark's long life has been a must excellent example of good living���a HURRIED AND WORRIED ALL DAY.

Any ore shipped from the Morrison was hauled in waggons a distance of over a mile to the railway track and then shipped to a custom smelter. The ore paid under these exceptional circumstances and should yield a big profit with a railway to the mine and with treatment at the smelter of the company owning the mine. The capitalisation is large it is true, but possibly the Record could suggest a plan how properties like the Brooklyn aud Stemwinder, the Sunset group, the Morrison, the Athlestan, the Emma and others many of which have been already heavily capitalized could be merged into one company with a smaller capitalization. To secure the best results in a low grade mining camp like the Boundary, conbination is necessary. No more promising combination of properties than those concluded iu the Montreal & Boston company's deal could be suggested. The merger has in it every element necessary to secure the best results in the mining and treatment of the big ore deposits of the Boundary. There is no good reason why the company should not be a big success and with wise and efficient management investors and the Boundary district are sure to profit. It is a difficult matter to interest capital in legitimate mining enterprises in British Columbia and the B. C. Miuiny Record if it Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The Progress of Victoria, B. C, an ably edited Canadian journal answers these critics as follows: "What is loyalty as understood in Britain beyond the seas? It is not subservience to the arrogant assumptions of a coterie of would-be rulers who never touch imperial questions, except to muddle thorn. It is devotion to the llajr because of what it implies. It is keeping faith with the men who transmitted to us the principles of self-government, which they won by blood and sacrifice. It is the maintenance at all times and everywhere of the high ideals which alone make British institutions worth preserving. It is the utilization for the common good of the magnificent advantages won for our race in days past by the hardy adventurers who made the name of Britain syonymous with energy aud the capacity of government. It is a determination to maintain our "crowned republic" in its integrity, so that within its borders "freedom may broaden down from precedent to precedent." When a Canadian wishes to learn how best to fulfil the obligations of such a loyalty as this, he need not go to the Saturday Review, The men who made and are making Canada, can give him all the instructions he requires."

As the new company is to be capitalized at the absurdly high figure of six and a half million dollars, and as neither the Sunset group, owned by the orgiti- al Montreal & Boston Company, nor the Morrison have been profitably operated in the past, for the reason seemingly that the ore so far treated has not been of payable grade, the outlook for the new concern, excepting always for stock-mongering purposes, is not a particularly promising one. It is true the Dominion Copper Company's Brooklyn group is of value, though the ore-body is relatively small when compared with the deposits in this district, which arc now being successfully worked. In any case the possibility of the new company earning profits on its inflated capital is remote to a degree, and this view is evidently shared by that exceptionally astute person, Mr. Jas. Breen, who insisted on payment in hard cash before relinquishing his interest in the Brooklyn.���B. C. Mining Record. Tt is noted in the Kootenay Mail, Revelstoke, that W. H. Galliher. M.

Cryinz Need of Promising Districts is a Railway. A recent issue of the Vancouver World conta'ns an interesting- articles by a gentleman who recently visited the Similkameen and Nicola. He says in part: ' "Much has been said and sung about the Similkameen and Nicola valleys and the heed they have of the railway that the present government's policy shows little sigrn's of producing, but the half has not been told. "These two valleys running up from the south aud down from the north to meet each other, where the headwaters of Graveyard and Quilchena creeks almost mingle as they rise to flow in opposite directions, from what is possibl3r the richest belt of its size in the province, rich in both mineral and agricultural resources. ^Miles upon miles of coal beds over which the grass grows on vast expanses of natural meadow where thousands of cattle and horses now roam, rich deposits of iron and copper, tae latter bearing gold, plenty" of timber for industrial purposes water in abundance and a beautiful climate, such are some of the. advantages and resources that rank this district second to none among the many rich districts of this naturally wealthy province. ''Some have been into this country, some are there now, confident in the fature, knowing what they possess, crying to deaf ears that a railway is all that is needed to turn a wilderness iato a hive of industry, and they are indeed as one cay ing in the wilderness. "What is true of this district is also largely true of the Okanagan country, and as a means of enjoyment and of acquiring some real knowledge of a portion of the natural wealth of British Columbia a trip from Kamloops through Nicola and Similkameen to the Boundary country and north again to the C. P. R. at Sicamous via the Okanagan valley, would be difficult to equal, in the enjoyment found and knowledge gained, by any similar trip of equal length.

"Not so numerous as these, but still large, ate the herds of Similkameen, where the natural features of the country, which lies some 19,000 feet nbove sea level, are practically identical with those of the Nicola valley. "About forty miles from Kamloops on Quilchena creek and commencing near Nicola lake, is the large Triangle ranch, the property of the B.C. Market Co. of this city and Victoria, and a most magnificent ranch it is. With some miles of range land, the gem of the'property is several hundred acres of bottom .land, once a lake, on the level of Quilchena. creek and below the benches. This bottom, which never floods, is composed of the silt of a geological epoch, and there are many such places along Ihe course of the creek. No more fertile and inexhaustible land is made than this. The benches themselves present the appearance of a huge park, as stated before, and fully half the laud could oe irrigated aud made to produce heavy crops. Even now some Indians who have been cultivating in a rude way some of the land in this neighborhood are raising from two to four and a half tons of timothy hay to the acre and the potatoes grown there are equal in' size, quality and weight of crop to the famous Ashcrofts. Coal lies under a portion at least of the Triangle ranch and adjoining it to the south are the 30 squaee miles of coal ffeids that the Diamond Vale Coal and Iron Mines company, of which Mr. T. J. Smith uf Vancouver is manager, has been prospecting and developing for the past couple of years. Here the coal formation of sandstone extends for many miles and over and over a'gairi'seams bf"coarcair_bc"seen crop-' ping oM on the sides of the gullies cut by the creeks that flow into the Quilchena. It is possible to ride for miles through this district and come on cropping after cropping until the traveller almost grows to think that.coal is the country rock of the Quilchena ranges. Some pf the seams are only from one to two feel in thickness and are consequently of little or no commercial value but others again have a thickness of four, six and even more feet. On one claini belonging to the Diamond Vole people an open cut shows six feel of hard coal, another four,, while another claini lias 15 feet of clean coal. On another claim the company has run a tunnel in six feet of solid, hard coal. This is known as the Jackson scam and by chemical analysis, is shown to be oueof the best in the province. The analysis of Ihe Diamond Vale coal gave a result of 32.5 volatile matter, 59.2 fixed carbon, moisture 5.0 and 3.3 ash. In the lable from which these figures are taken and which includes coal from Law's seam in the Nicola valley, Crow's N,est, Similkaincei), Vancouver Island and Ashnola, the sample from Law's seam takes second place among British Columbia coals. This seam belongs to the Nicola Valley Iron & Coal Co., whose claims are situated about nine miles northeast of the Diamond Vale property. This seam is named after Mr: Charles Law, of this city, who is largely interested in coal and, indeed, Vancouver men are largely interested in both these properties. "Here in this coal region is wealth, wonderful wealth. There are many promising copper and iron properties in this district which alone would provide a,large home market for much of the Diamond Vale coal, which is of good coking quality, suitable for smelting purposes, and all that i.s need- The water is down and now is the time to go fishing Rods, <:Reels Lines, ^flies, and other tackle at reasonable prices.

"From the Nicola Valley Iron & Coal Co.'s property on Coldwater creek can be seen the young and healthy town of Nicola, distant about eight miles across a succession of park-like benches. "Leaving the northbound Quilchena behind, the wagon road and proposed railroad crosses the watershed to Graveyard creek which flows south, as it belies its name by taking its way through some of the most cheerful and beautiful country on the map���the dry belt of British Columbia. Near the head of Graveyard creek is Aspen Grove, a place destined to be much better known than it is now, for in this vicinity, ibout a dozen miles below Quilchena and 38 miles from Princeton, are located some t'ery valuable copper-gold properties. Here, as all through Nicola and Similkameen, the interest and enterprise of Vancover people are in evidence. Princeton, sit- tuated at the junction of Graveyard creek, with the Similkameen river, is the centre of a splendid mining country. Here is an enterprising community awaiting with excusable i in patience the advent of the railway, the lack of which they regard :i> tin-only bar to their grent proaperity. indeed there are strong indications that several Rosslands and Fernies would spring up through this country if it had the means of transportation The Princeton townsite company, managed by Captain Waterman, owns a valuable coal field in the vicinity and about six miles southeast of the town, on the Similkameen river, is the famous Copper mountain, said to be almost a mass of ore, where the Sunset Copper company are developing their valuable properties as well as wagon road communication will permit. Just across the river is Kennedy mountain, which is also almost entirely staked for mineral claims. In the opposite direction about 10 miles northwest of Princeton, on the Tulameen. is a valuable coal lield in which prominent Vancouver business men are chiefly interested and the coal from which is said to be second to none in the Province. In the same district, about 18 miles northwest of Princeton is a copper-gold property owned by Messrs. W. H. Armstrong and Charles Law of Vancouver who with Kiddie, the Ladysmith smelter man, are on the property at present and have started development work, while not far away on Boulder creek is a very promising property of the same nature owned by an Iowa syndicate and already partially developed. All these properties which give every indication of great value, are absolutely dependen t~f or-their-proper development on the building of a railway over the proposed route. Princeton is the centre ofthe Similkameen country and has some enterprising citizens among whom tne Similkameen Star is conspicuous for his persistent efforts to keep the advantages and clainis of the district before the public and the govern merit, while Mr. Jackson, the proprietor of the Hotel Jackson, also does his share. The latter gentleman has marked the distance to Princeton every mile for 25 miles along the government wagon road oil each side of the town has a and has a cabinet of ores that is said to be among the fiest collections in the country. These two gentlemen are now preparing a collection of Similkameen ore for exhibition in the rooms of the Vancouver Tourist association. From Princeton to Hedley is 25 miles and the latter place i.s now, thanks to the enterprise of the Daly Reduction company in developing the Nickel PI ate mine, a nourishing little town. The mine has beeu fully developed and the company is just conniencing to operate the new 40-stanip mill for crushing the ore which is subsequent}- treated by the cyanide process for which an extensive and complete plant has been installed. Hundreds of men are employed and Mr. M. K. Rogers, the very- able manger, conrary to the more usual practice, shuts everything down on Sundays. Mr. Rogers is reported to have said thatt he mines that pay the biggest dividends don't work on Sundays. And Mr. Rogers cannot be scoffed at, as a weak-kneed victim of superstition either a" his ways and work in and around Hadley win prove. A couple of yean* or so ago Mr. Rogers asked the government to build a road to Peniticton from Hedley This load would be thirty miles long and would cut off a considerable distance, the government road going around by Fairview and Okauagnu Falls, besides avoiding a bad grade on the xisting toad. The government cotil'd not see its way to building the new road just th<Mi, so Mr. Rogers said no more, but put out his own engineers, surveyed the route and build a first-class road himself, which has now superseded the old one. Altogether the Daly Reduction company, under the supervision of Mr. Rogers, have spent over a million dollars on the Nickel Plate mine and Mr. Rogers is reported to have under consideration the building by his company of their own railroad to the boundary line, if the government does not soon make some move, in the matter."
