The Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser
BC Historical Newspapers
The Hedley Gazette and Similkameen Advertiser was published in Hedley, in the Similkameen region of southern British Columbia, and ran from January 1905 to August 1917. The Gazette was published by the Hedley Gazette Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was Ainsley Megraw (1905-1914). The Gazette served the communities of Keremos, Olalla, and Hedley. In 1916, the paper was purchased by James W. Grier, who shortened the title to the Hedley Gazette.

The throughs from, the grrzzly and the smaller- crusher feed 'on a belt conveyor, running at right -ingles to,, it and which is carried orr a carriage running on a trac over the main storage bins. Over this belt is suspended a powerful electric magnet which picks up any bits of steel or iron iri the ore. By moving this carriage the ore can be fed into any eif the bins desired. From the bins it is fed by Challenge feeders to the 40 stamps. The stamps drop 101 timi'Si- minute, a distance of seven and one-half inches, and weigh 1,050 pouuils. No amalgamation has been attempted eitherin the battery or on the plates for the hist'year and a half, as the saving effected by amalgamation was found to be. so small, anel the gold could be collected in the cyanide plant anyway^ This .was one of the'many changes made in'the mill since Mr. Jones became manager, although be has been with the property as mine superintendent for over 12 years. The stamps crush to 12mesh iiuel have ji duty of live tons per stamp;' The screens used are of the steel slot type. COXCENTUATINl} PLANT The pulp passes to four explicated Spitzkasten. The coarse is fed hy these to eight corrugated belt Fine Viinners and the fines to 10 smooth belt vanners and 12 Deister tables. The tailings from the corrugated belt van- ri_rs'arev're-eI6vafci_dr'-b"y'::it~'8iaiHi--pHmp to a tube mill and re-ground. The finely ground proiluct tlien joins the feeel to the 16 smooth belt vanners and 12 Deister tables. Churtz pebbles are used altogether in the tube mill. At first coarse ore and pebbles were used, but by using the Churtz pebbles, ob- taineel from Denmark, it was found that the output of the mill'was increased and the life of the lining was much longer. Two-fifths of a pound of pebbles are used to one ton of tailings. The tailings from the Deister tables and smooth belt vanners go te> a set of cone classifiers. The slimes from the classifiers go to the slime plant anel the sands to the sanel plant. About j240 tons ofconcentrates, containing silica 14 to 16 per- cent'and iron 2S to 30 per cent, the iron being arsenical iron, are produced per month anel shippeel to the Tacoma smelter j for- treatment. These concentrates contain from 70 to 80 per cent of the values saved. CYANIDE PLANT The sand plant treats 120 tons per day. while the slime plant treats SO tons, that being about the proportion of slimes to sands produced. The sand plant has 12 tanks; six on each floor. The tanks are six feet deep by 32 feet in diameter. The sands,are treated twice with cyanide solution, first in one of the lippei tanks and then iu one of the lower, the whole treatment occupying 20 days. The slime plant tanks are all on one lloor and the slimes are agitated for 12 hours in one tank and allowed to settle once arid then are. thrown overbite! the No. 2 tanks, where they remain for- about 30 hours. From the No. 2 tanks they are taken to two Oliver filter presses, where they are washeel with a barren cyanide solution, which is sucked through them to wash out any gold-carrying cyanide they may contain. After being pressed dry by the suction provieled by the vacuum pumps they pass to the tailings launder. The cyanide solution troni the sand plant and the slimes plant is fed into a solution tank with zinc dust, with which it becomes thoroughly mixed in the tank. It is then pumped with the zinc elust anel precipitated gold through two Merrill presses, one 20- franio and the other 10 frame. These are kept locked and the gold precipitate is all collected in them, from sulphuric acid solution and then with water dried and melted into bullion, and | The barren .solution from the presses passes to the sump tanks and from there it is pinniped to the mixing tanks oil the upper sand plant floor, where it is-: brought up to standard strength and used again.'- The consumption of cyanide is tliroe-eighthsi of a. pound, of zinc one-quarter of a pound and of lime.four..pounds per ton of ore treated while the 'extraction of gold is averaging 95 per cent, although last month it was nearer 97 per- cent of the total gold contents of the ore: , The-important changes that have been made in the niill and which have brought about the increased saving were completed about 18 months ago. They consisted of iibolishing amalgamation altogether, '.'theVinstallatinii of the tube -mill for the fine grinding of the sanil tables -tailing's, the addition of the 12 Deister tables for the con- centratiori eif the fine-slirnes in the concentration', plant, the addition of the Oliver filter- presses for the slirnes treatment, anel the abolishing of the use of the zinc boxes arid the installation of the Merrill filter, presses and tank treatment of the':'.solution with zinc dust instead of zinc shavings fentile collection of the golel precipitate. The changes have brought the values in the sand tailings down to about 25 cents and in the slime tailings to about 60 cents per ton. INCREASED CAPACITY The capacity of the mill has been increased from 4,000 tons' per month to over 6,000 tons, while." the additional cost of treatment is nominal. Before these changes were maele the slimes were till saved without cyaniel- ing in the slime pond.,; This pond contains over 6,500 tons of slimes which will be pumped back to the slimes plant for treatment at some later date. Under the former management the tailings were not saved; but under the | present management the tailings were iVU Siiyeel'befor-irthe Infttiillii Dion eif the changes mentioned could be effectetl, and these will be also pumpeel hack and i-etreatcdat a-lsiter elate. POWER PLANT At the power house compressed air- anel electric power are generated by duplicate steam and water power- units. The air compressors and generators sire direct connected te> water- wheels. When using water power the connecting mils of the steam cylinders .-ire disconnected and if any accident occurs to the flume line or- the water becomes low these can be connected up and steam raised in the boilers with a delay of only four hours. Water- is taken from Twenty-mile Creek and conveyed by a flume line four feet by four feet and 13,000 feet long toaforehay 412 feet above the power house. For storage purposes there is a dam at an elevation of 7,000 feet. 400 feet across and 16 feet high on the east fork of Twenty-mile. This forms a lake one mile long and one- half mile wiele. from which the water cm be discharged into the creek and caught at the flume when the water becomes low. The main generator is ,-i 300 K. W. 2.200 volt Wcstinghouse direct connected to a 400-hor.sepower Doble water wheel of the Pel ton type on one end. The water wheel is controlled by a .Lombard governor. The 30-horse- powcr exciter is belted to the line shaft. On the other end the generator can be direct connected to a 500- horsepowr-r Goldic tV. McCulloh Corliss condensing engine, controlled by a Rites-Inertia governor when it is necessary to use steam power. The lights for the town and plant are supplied by a. 100 Kilo-Watt generator direct connected to a Pelton wheel. This is the only unit in the plant which has no steam connection. The main unit of the compressor- plant is one two stage cross compound steam condensing Corliss gear Hand compressor, supplying 2,100 cubic feet of air at 125 pounds, driven by a 20 foot Pelton i wheel direct connected te> the main shaft.

Arrangements Are Progressing for Entertainment of the Visiting Geologists to the World's Congress in Canada in 1913 Excursions will be maele to various parts before, during and after the congress. It will be after the congress that parties"will visit British Columbia anel the following is an outline, of the route to be taken: ''--Examination of the intrusive contact of the grarioiliorite fit Nelson, the gold-copper deposits at Bossland, the gold-quartz veins at Sheep Creek, the. copper- mines at Phoenix and Greenwood, the silver-lead' mines eif the Slocan district, the Nickel Plate-gold mine at Hedley..and the pre-Oambrian rocks west of/the Kootenay river will be maele by the members of the Twelfth International Geological Congress in September, 1913. Fifteen days will be devoted to the trip via the Crow's Nest line from Toronto to Vancouver. Those participating in this excursion will travel over the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway directly to Medicine Hat, in the province of Alberta. From this point the journey will be by way-, of'.the Crow's Nest branch line passing through the mining centres of Lethbridge, Fernie. Nelson Rossland and Greenwood. At Midway the party will be -'divided, some of the party returning to Nelson and Revelstoke on the mainline by way of tlie .Arrow Lakes. The remainder of the party will -proceed te> Vancouver, passing through a mining region of which the principal places are Hedley, Princeton. Tnlaineen and Nicola. Between Lethbridge and .Ferine sections of the Cretaceous coal measures will be examined. At Frank the party will be given an opportunity of viewing the notable rock slide which occurred in 1903.

Rural mail delivery is becoming popular and the Post Office Department are beseiged with applications for the service. Most of the applications are from Ontario. Half the Rainbow's crew are going back to England and the ship is to go out of commission in consequence'. The term for which the men hail taken service litis elapsed. The Railway Commission sitting at Calgary gave out a very important decision last week. It was to the effect that where a railwav company removes a station away from a town they must also stand the expense of moving the town.

The boiler plant consists of three 150-hiusepower tubular return boilers made by the .Tencks Machine company, iiuel two 100-horsepower tubular return boilers, made, by the Vancouver- Engineering works. A. 100-horsepower Mumford is used" for heating the mill and buildings with steam at 10 pounds pressure. An interesting anil effective feature of the air compressors is the location of the intercrioleranel after-cooler tanks in an excavation in the tailrace. The constant flow of the abundance of water thus provided assures a maximum of condensation and provides much drier air for the 17,000 foot pipe line to the mine than is ordinarily obtained.

The piobibi- tion seems to be just another of those instances where an excess of religious zeal will elefeat its own object, anel instead of promoting morality will tend to lessen the hold of the church upon the masses: for the public, meaning no harm and being unable to recognize any harm in the little diversion of a. ball game in the pure open air on a Sunday afternoon, are hound to resent interference of this kind with what they conceive to be their innocent pleasure. AVhat has precipitated the present ukase we can only guess, but in all probability it is an echo of the incident which occurred over in the Boundary district a few weeks ago when customs collector Robt. Kerr took upon himself to turn at the boundary line a number of spectators anel players from Republic who were on their way to play a ball game: on Sunday at Greenwood and the matter got into the papers. That of course would be the signal for the Lord's Day Alliance to stick in their oar- and get busy. It is very true that the Lord's Day Act is a Dominion law forced on the country by the Alliance and their supporters, and as a Dominion law it is up to all portions of the Dominion to obey it. subject to any provincial restrictions, but it must he remembered that there is a safety valve clause to it which permitted each province to reserve for its Attorney General the right to decide whether or not a prosecution might take place for infraction of any particular clause of the Act. Quebec and British Columbia elected to make the reservation anil thereby arouseel the pious horror of many in the east. Having done so it is now left to the Attorney General of this province to decide individual cases on their merits. We do not know whether the chief constable has issued this order about Similka.nieen base-ball off his own bat or hael his instructions from higher up, but if the Attorney General has yielded to the Alliance for action in this case he has shown a weakness even where there is no gate charge nor no prize nor stake being competed for. 'Under the circumstances it would appear that if the Attorney General is supposed to have decided this case on its merits he has been most'unfortunate, in the recognition of those merits. The order clearly goes too far and no conviction could be obtained from a prosecution under it for the. Act itself will-not .bear it out. To issue an order of this kind under the circumstances is only to bring law and authority into-public-contempt. THE ���������-..

Borden has really committee! himself to the dreadful doctrine that. Canada should 'expend good haul money for the building of dreadnoughts to be usee! to fight Germany if she should choose to dispute tliet right of the British navy to control the sea. It will now be in order- for young William Lyon MacKen/.ie King to say to those Dutch voters in Waterloo county, "Didn't 1 tell you so." After Winston Churchill, first Lorel of the Admiralty, maele that noted speech introducing his new naval programme, laying the responsibility for it plainly on Germany and acknowledging his perfect accorel with the views anel attitude of Canada's Premier, and after his sentiments were even more strongly emphasized by Premier Asquith, it will t;ix the sidestepping powe-rs of our Sir Wilfrid to find a suitable pretext on which to line up his compatriots in Quebec against Borden's proposals which are now known to and commended by Asquith anel Churchill but which will not be announced in Canada or elsewhere until they are submitted by Mr. Borden to his cabinet in Ottawa and then announced to the Canadian people. Readers of British Columbia dailies cannot fail to have noticed the wonderful improvement in the character of the news that now fills the columns and is served up to readers of these papers throughout H. (J. while it is still fresh. Formerly the bulk of the news contained by them that was not home brew and dealing with the affairs of the province alone.was for the most part about happenings through the United States about which the average British Columbian reader did not care a button, and the very small amount of space given to news of the eastern provinces and to British news fresh from over the water at the heart of empire was meagre indeed. Worse still, it had filtered in to British Columbia papers through American channels anel in transit had taken on a tinge of coloring that was decidedly pale after all that was at all national in character had been lopped out of it. Too much credit cannot be given to those who have been responsible for bringing about the change, and national as their news service is now becoming we believe it is only an approach to what they will yet be able to give us when cable rates are cheapened.

John George, who was one of the leading promoters of the B. C. Portland Cement industry at East Princeton on One-Mile Creek, went up the valley on Thursday last and visited the works. The present week has witnessed a marked decline in the flow of the water in Twenty-mile. If it continues to recede like this for a week or two more they will have to steam up the boilers again. There has been pretty good fishing in adjoining streams during the past week.

It is rather a strange commentary on church union and those who claim to favor it to find members of one church who have been out nt another service heading for home at the same hour when there is to be a service of the church with which they have voted to unite, and vice versa.

Can't we look things squarely in the face and even if we do not lind it convenient to attend all the services of both denominations let us try to show some consistency and try to cultivate a little of the union spirit so as to get ready for the great event in case it "really should take place one of these elays.
