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.

"Visiting brethren arc cordially invited to attend. ���������In another column we reproduce. a portion of an article on the canip which appeared in the Nelson News. The article is in point of accuracy one of the best that have appeared in outside papers bnt there are one or two points in it that require revision and the principal one is the underestimate made in the value of the ore produced, which is placed as being only between $2,500,000 and $2,700,000 up to the end of 1911. There have also been one or two other instances during the past year or two where similar write-ups have understated the production, and as the Gazette has on more, than one occasion claimed that the output was over three millions for that time and the editor has also claimed in conversation with strangers that the output of the camp to the middle of 1912 is a little better than four millions, we cannot in justice to' ourselves allow any more of these under statements to go unchallenged. Either we are right or we have been wrong in this matter and it is now up to us to produce figures to bear out ''our contention and justify the claims we have made. We have always contended that the truth about Medley was': good enough without trying to stretch it any and we have rfeused on occasions to countenance wild statements on output that were farther Value up to end of 1907................. '.' 1908, 4406S tons at $13.35 per ton 1909, 31,100 tons at 11.58 per ton 1910, 14,828 tons at 12.31 per ton." 1911, 57,815 tons at 11,99 per ton Allowing for first half 1912 the same as first half 1911. Total......... above the mark than these figures in the Nelson News arel>e)������-w the mark. Up to December 31st, 1907, the output was 107,153 tons, c'jf value $1,627,- 229.49. They represented an assay value of $15.10 per ton with a recovery of. $13.95 per ton ���������ind a profit over, working expenses of $8.22 per ton. As that covered a period which included the gossan it was of .chursi* not to be expected that as high values would be maintained in subsequent years. Those figures are absolutely' correct and are undisputed. It is not, necessary to say where or under what circumstances they were obtained further than that they weie given out' under circumstances where it was not in the interests of those giving them out to make them a cent more than they were, but the reverse. Now it is not- difficult to show what was the output and value in the years that .followed." All .tliat is necessary is to take the Minister of Mines report year by year ami we have it so far 'ius tlie tonnage is: concerned and as for values the report for 1907 issued in the middle eif 1908 places the value per ton at "about $14.00' which corresponds very closely .-with., the $13.95 recovery already referred to. But discarding tlmt valuation 'arid- taking the recovery returns yeiir by year which we now give it stands as follows: ��������� ;. THE MCKEL PLATE MINE Descriptive Write-Up of Mine and Works, by REPRESENTATIVE OF NELSON NEWS The Property As It Appears to Outsider ���������Extent of Development and Trend of Ore Bodies. The Hedley Gold Mining company purchased the Daly Reduction company's mine and plant in 1909. At the end of 1911 the mine had produced 231,000 tons of ore, valued at between $2,5000,000 and $2,7000,000. Last year the company paid 25 per cent, dividends and showed -as surplus $303,000, paying 11 per cent, the year before, which is certainly a magnificent showing. The whole plant has been put in excellent condition. The increase in dividends is due entirely to more efficient handling of the ore and the saving, of a greater percentage of the values due to changes in the mill. ..$1,617,229.49 '.'.,- 588,307.S0 .. 360,138.00 ..-'��������� 551.832.6S :.j 693,201.85 .... 346,600.92 ...$4,157,310.74 BASEBALL MATCH Hedley Ball-tossers Turn the Tables on Their Opponents From Keremeos , E.

GREGORY CIVIL ENGINEER anii "BRITISH COLUMBIA LAND SURVEYOR Star Building Princeton Keremeos base-ballers came up on Sunday last in two auto loads to play another game with the Hedley team and this time were not as fortunate in turning the trick as on the former occasion. Neither side were able to put all their best men in the field and as a result there were weak patches in both. Tom Daly played for Keremeos but did not pitch, which restriction was necessary to make the game even enough to be interesting. Maurice Daly hurled for Keremeos and Billy Corrigan for Hedley. In the earlier spasms the teams played fairly even with Keremeos having a trifle, the best of the argument, but in the seventh inning the Keremeos pitcher took on a load of trouble in which his opponents were permitted to get five runs over the home plate which was more than half their entire tally for the match. Billy Corrigan was hit rather freely in the beginning of the game but tightened up later on and treated the visitors to sundry duck egg innings. The last innings was pitched by Messenger whose control was not equal to his speed and a few got passes. The biggest cause for conipliiint which the fans had against him, however, was not in his pitching hut his erratic: ideas of base-running which is a failing that has become chronic with him. Whenever he gets on the path lie is seized with an irresistible suicidal mania and is almost sure to die between bases very shortly thereafter; for no matter whether there be two out, one out or none at all, the gruesome taking off has to eventuate. And, what is still more* exasperating to the fans, he experiences no chagrin at the untimely end hut seems to have the impression that there has been something meritorious in the rash act with all its ghastliness. The eiror column was liberally filled up by players on both sides, and while there were some snappy plays at times there were some other "muffs and bad pegs that would be sinful enough for any clay in the week let alone on Sunday.

Sirois in wliich he accused him of going to his cabin up on the mountain some time about or after midnight on Saturday night or Sunday morning and firing a. shot which wakened him and which he did not know whether it had been fired into the; cabin or not. Afterwards an attempt was made to force his door and a voice which he claimed to know was Sirois asked him to come out, and among other remarks, threatened to kill him if he did not get off the place. Trouble has existed between them for some time but this seemed to be carrying it a trifle too tar and when the information was laid, a warrant for Sirois' arrest was issued, but the constable on going up and getting a story from Sirois wliich was directly opposite to the in formation laid took on himself to conclude that the information which had been sworn to was false and accordingly made no arrest. A hearing was arranged for Tuesday when Danny gave thei evidence summarized above, only in much more detail. Sirois gave evidence in his own defence and his story was that he had left Hedley at 11 o'clock Saturday night, rode up the hill and got to Danny's when it was breaking day. He found Danny at that hour inside his fence and Danny began accusing him of peiying the surveyor $100 to place the line; so as to take some of his best land and afterwards began throwing rocks at him and hit his horse on the neck. Neither the complainant nor the constable who is supposed to procure evidence in all criminal cases before they are brought;-up for hearing had thought it necessary to have anything more than these.-two contradictory stories and the bench concluded to dismiss the case. Nevertheless Sirois' story for a dozen most obvious reasons carried so many marks of improbability and the complainant seemed to be so thoroughly afraid of the defendant that it was deemed necessary to have Sirois bound over in -his-own recogniz ance to keep the peace. The provincial cabinet is meeting this week on the return of the Premier find Attorney-general from the north country. Anglo-phobia has again broken out virulently in the German press. FIVE ORE BODIES AVORKEO The ore bodies that have been work- so far are five in number, while there are two more on which nothing but development work has been done. There are four on the Sunnyside and three on the Nickel Plate claim, the latter being superimposed. There are also some".showings" em the Bulldog claim. The ore bodies lie in the Nickel Plate formation,', which is 900 feet thick and composed of altered sedi- mentaries cut by tongues of andesite running out from a main andesite core, which cuts through the whole formation. These tongues of andesite have flowed for the most part along the bedding planes in the lime and seemingly did not disturb them to-"-any.' great extent. The andesite is impregnated with arsenide of iron, which carries very little values, but the lime is highly altered to lime silicate, horn- fels or granite epidote calcite, carrying arsenide of iron and gold. Most of the gold is carried by the; arsenides, but near the surface considerable of it has been converted into free gold by oxidization. The No. 1 ore body on the Sunnyside has been worked as has the No. 2 which lay under the andesite. In the No. 3 Sunnyside the andesite crosses the formation. This ore body has been only partially worked out and needs more development. The mineralization extends outward from the andesite for a. short distance, when the unaltered lime appears and the values cease. The No. 4 has been developed by a shaft 700 feet on the dip and it is intended to sink this shaft 3(H) feet more and diamond chill from drifts at the bottom as the ore bodies opened up have not been as large as expected. "WIDE OH IS HODY On the Nickel Plate the main ore- body is about 175 feet wide and from 25 to 45 feet thick, and dips into the hill at an angle of 21 degrees, which is the clip of the formation. It has been opened up for a distance of 1,100 feet on the dip by tunnels. No. 4 tunnel is the lowest and all the ore below it will be worked from winzes. The ore is stopeel by the pillar system similar to that in use by the Granby. The second ore body is separated from the first by a sheet of andesite from 18 to 25 feet in thickness and is of about the same width of the upper- ore body. It will be stopeel in the same manner as the upper one, the andesite being left as a roof and pillars left vertically under those in the upper stope. It has been proven by- raises, drifts and diamond drill holes to extend down for 500 feet, where it is cut off by the second and third andesite sheets meeting. It conies in again about 300 feet further down. The third ore body is patchy and not much has been done on it except diamond drilling. A winze from the fourth level sunk 210 feet on an incline is just opening it up. The No. 1 ore body is being opened up near the surface by raises, but practically no ore has been mined from it yet. The ore is mined across the ore body till it gets of too low a grade. The average grade of the ore is kept at from $9 to $11 -per ton,,al though a much lower' grade of' ore could be handled at a good profit, as the company is able to pay 25 per cent dividends on the present output. MUCH ORE DEVELOPED The ore is hard and very tough. Thedrilling is all done by. "heavy machine chills and'-ri-equ'eh tbull-dozing is resorted to tc> break" up the- boulders. There a re se.veraTthousarMjr^tons* kept broken ahead in-the stopes'and with the ore developed there is sufficient to keep the mill running for some'years to come. "The company has taken a lease and bond on the Windfall group from L. W. Shatford, F.H. French, G. Turner. T. D. Pickard and L. G. McHaffie. The group comprises the Windfall. Morning, Czar. Big Horn and Winchester fraction. They are within 1,200 feet of the nearest workings in the direction of the dip of the formation. The main andesite flow, which cuts the formation anil from which the sheets come which bear such a definite relation to the ore bodies, lies between this group .and-the Nickel Plate. As this main andesite intrusion will cutoff the Nickel Plate ore bodies unless the same conditions exist on the other side or there is an ore body alongside of the main flow going down with it, it is the intention 'of the company to diamond drill these claims very thoroughly to find out whether these same conditions exist or not at depth on the other side of the flow. Besides these claims, the company has others extending over several miles, so that it has an immense amount of ground to prospect yet, which may or may not prove profitable. ' , c- TRAXSPORTATIOX "METHODS ���������The 'ore is brought from the mine, which is about 4,500 feet above the mill, by an electric tramway 7,000 feet long, in trains of from 10 to 12 wooden thriiip cai's of two tons ca paei ty, to the bins at the head of the incline gravity surface tramway. Power is supplied for the haulage locomotives by a 100- horsepower Westinghouse motor direct connected to a. 75 Kilo-Watt direct current 500-volt generator and a 50- horsepower Westinghouse motor direct connected to a 45 Kilo-Watt 500- volt generator. The incline gravity ���������surface tramway is 9,300 feet long, using two stages. The skips hold five and one-half tons and are lowered with a one inch steel cable controlled by friction brakes on the driiins. The skips have two links and are *��������� lowered from the upper station to the intermediate with the cable in one link and the cable for the lower part is then connected with the other link, A hook on a half inch cable on a hand windlass is then hooked through the first link and the slack taken off the upper cable so it can be disconnected. The three rails, with the four rails ;it the three meeting points are laid on ties on the ground, except where hollows are crossed, when they are carried on trestles. The skips dump into a bin above the mill, from which they are taken hy another similar incline gravity tramway, about 500 feet long to the; mill bins. The idea of this is that the main tram does not point towards the mill and in case one of the skips break away it would not go down through the mill, but plunge harmlessly down the hill. There is. also a surface tramway from the head of the main traniway to the shops run by a small hoisting engine to hoist supplies for the mine to the foot of the main train. An average of 86 skips per day are lowered by the main tramway and provide sufficient tonnage for the mill, Premier McBride announced before he left on his trip to the north that there was on deposit to the credit of the Province of British Columbia, in various banks the sum of $9,000,000. He rejoiced in the good financial standing of the province and its excellent credit abroad and deplored the actions of reckless parties who were not sufficiently careful to try to maintain that credit but were ready to imperil it by trying to dispose of questionable schemes. He announced that Canadian Northern trains would be running to Yale in a couple of months and he had been assured by Mr. Burv that double tracking of the C. P. li. would go on from Winnipeg to the coast witliout interruption. THE HEDLEY GAZETTE JULY 25, 1912. and Similkameen Advertiser.

The attempt to set fire to a theatre filled with people and cause a panic that was likely to have resulted in terrible loss of life, was as devilish, if not more so, than the act for which the Macnamaras are now serving out life sentences.

A Hincks, Manager PURITY FLOXJIl MORE BREAD AND BETTER BREAD General manager Gruber of the operating department of the: Great Northern Railway in a. reply to the Princeton Board of Trade, advanced the rather astounding view that the people along this branch were not in favor of doing away with the stopover at Ornville. Ill's information to that effect was obtained from General Superintendent Scott who is claimed to have investigated the matter and had reported in the manner indicated. This will surely be a revelation to the people of this valley who we thought were practically a unit in condemning the lay-over. More wondeiful still in the General Manager's reply is the claim made by him that it is the people along the- line this side of Oroville whose interests they are protecting by maintaining the lay-over for he points out that by having the train run through after its arrival in Oroville it would mean a night service for six stations on the line between Oro- vill and Princeton. This is certainly the fii-r-t time we have heard any complaint or fear of this night service and surely the people who have lived here in the valley ever since there has been train service; on the* road should have a better opportunity of learning of such dissatisfaction or fear than General Superintendent Scott who appears to have been endowed with all the strange power's that were credited to the fairies in former ages for he has apparently been able to make his so-called investigation and preserve invisibility all the while. At all events no peison appeals to have any recollection of having either seen him or heard of the investigation. Now wouldn't it be well to get an expression of public opinion 011 this matter? What is the matter with circulating a petition which might be presented to every business man and every house- boulder between C'hopaka and the end of the trae:k? General manager Gruber writes as if it were.* a matter of indifference to them whether they run the Bmnassa has turned annexationist. He didn't have far to turn for none of the spawn of that old Papineau-Mac- Kenzie bunch have a very thick veneering of the rebel that lies a.t the core. William Lyon MacKenzie himself organized marauding parties in Bulfalo to invade Canada and destroy Brock's monument", at Queenston under a Hag that bore, two stats to represent the two Camillas which ,he and Papi- neau were to hand over to the United States. His descendant made that break last September in Waterloo and it is only natural that Bourassa should now be heard from to- keep up his side of the old coalition. METEOROLOGICAL.

W. J. TWISS Manager for B.C. A. Megraw Local Agent THE HEDLEY GAZETTE, JULY 25. 1912. Town and District. Mrs. M. K. Rodgers'leaves for her home in Seattle in a few days. Mr. and Mrs. McEwen, sr., went to Kerenuios on Monday'.-, train to have a look over that part eif the valley. Rev, Father Conant was in Hedley over Sunday and on Monday morning held muss for members of the It. C. church. '������������������'. Harold Town-send arrived in town pn Tuesday and has taken his old job as clerk in the store of Shatfords' Limited. Hedley boasts some very pretty flower gardens and lawns and Kingston Avenue can hold its own with the best /of them. The West Yale Review tells of .a mishap to Luke Gibson of that place, .formerly of Princeton, who was injured by his horse, falling on him. The first of the Keremeos peactics came up the valley last week and .from .now on there should be a generous supply lasting well on into September, or later. The selection of Grand Forks as a joint railway divisional point for the C. P. R. and Kettle Valley has been approved and work is shortly to start on erection of a ten stall round house. Anton Winkler shows specimens of some very fine cherries grown oh his ranch up on the mountain. In a few years the product of the mountain sides and mountain tops in this vicinity is likely to prove a. revelation. Rev. A. H. Cameron is expecting a visit shortly from his sister and niece ���������-"������������������who live in. Calgary. His sister was advised by her doctor to try the Okanagan for a while but in all probability they will prefer the Siinilkaineen instead and luxuriate among the orchards of ambrosial Keremeos. Track-laying has recommenced on the Kettle Valley Railway and the. track^which was laid up the West Fork as far as Peanut Point is expected to get through Beaverdell in less than a fortnight 'and reach Car-mi about a week later, making 57 miles of steel all told west of Midway. Summerland and the whole Oka.n- agiin have suffered irreparable loss in the death of R. II. Agar of that place who died very suddenly hist week. Deceased was one of the leading fruitgrowers of the Okanagan and was president of the B. C. Fruit-growers Association. The secretary of the I. W. W. is reported to have re-appeared on the C. N. R. grade in the Fraser canyon and .as a result the local constables are preparing to get busy. Both the country and the railways have already been put to great loss by allowing too much latitude to worthless disturbers of that kind and some swift suinniary work would now seem to he timely. T. Walter Beam of Denver, Col., came in on Tuesday anel is having a look over the Nickel Plate and meeting- old Hedley friends who are ;tl- ways pleased to see him back. He w,-is over in the Kootcnay and when that near Hedley took advantage of the .opportunity to pay a. visit to the Bonanza which he was so largely instrumental in picking up for the present owners three years ago. The Remington Typewriter Co. has taken over the Monarch, its factory, patent- rights and all its assets and will merge the*, two concerns under one general management. The visibility feat-ores of the Monarch with its extreme lightness of touch and adaptability for general work will make its product of special value to the; Remington people*, and the wide sales organization of the Remington will be able to push the Monarch output in a mnmicr that it was never pushed before. In less than a week congratulations will be in order for Mr. if. A. Hhicks, for on July 80th he will lead to the altar a young lady in North Birmingham, England, The wedded couple will spend a couple of weeks at Kil- larney and em August Kith they will sail for Camilla. Mr. 11 hicks' many Hedley friends oiler hearty congratulations. The Gazette adds a fatherly blessing. Last week James Turner who formerly woi keel at the Nickel Piute rami; over from Bridesville where he* had been working in the. haylields and after imbibing too freely armed liim- ���������self with a bottle. Out of said bottle- he ministered tei the thirsty wants of Yorky who is on the interdicted list and therein lay his undoing. Constable Sproule had him up and as he pleaded guilty he was given the minimum line provided by the new Liepior Act which is $100 and in default of payment of the line was awarded two months in jail. John T. Prather a rancher between White Lake and Kaleden died rather suddenly on Sunday uight of a seizure which appeared tei be apoplectic in its nature. The funeral took place on Tuesday at Fairview and was largely attended. Deceeised was well known in the district, having been engaged in fanning there for -nearly fifteen vears and waa among the most pro- gressive of the early settlers. The Alberta and Eastern British Columbia Press Association is.meeting at Nelson this week where the Nelson Press Club is doing itself proud in the splendid entertainment they fire providing for their visitors. It is unfortunate, that the constant grind prevents many members of the' craft from taking in these functions arid helping to knit closer the" ties of friendship which should bind those engaged in so great a work. There was insufficient attendance at the annual school meeting On the 13th and it was adjourned for two weeks. By that time it is expected that word will be received from the department in reference to the superior school for which application had been made, there being a sufficient number of pupils in the valley wile) had passed the entrance -and the greater number of them being located in Hedley. Should the superior school be granted it is improbable that Mrs. Thain will be back. She has been very successful in her preparation of pupils for the entrance as Well as in bringing on those; in the lower classes but could not conform to the departmental regulation with reference to taking the higher room in a superior school and the Board despair of there being any chance of her accepting the lower room under tho circumstances.

Although there are no handbills out Max Swain Theatrical Co. of New York will play Keremeos, Thursday 25th inst. in the town hall. Mi\ Tophain Richardson of London, Eng., and brother of Frank Richard- son of Penticton, passed througn Friday on bis way to Penticton. He had just come through from Independence, Oregon, where he has large interests. Miss A. Cusick, who has been staying with Mrs. A. E. Hai-greaves for the. past two years returned to her parents' home .-it Settler, Alia. AVhile with us Miss Cusick was greatly liked, and it was with sorrow that Iter many friends saw her departure* and only hope that she will be able to return ...at some future date. Max Ewart, who has been provincial constable at Keremeos for the past six years or more, resigned his position to take the job as immigration officer- eit Penticton. During his tenure, of office here he did some efficient constabulary work, notably in connection with cleaning out a gang of horse thieves that had been infesting the lower valley and some of the captures he made at times were clever. J. A. Brown and R. II. Carmichael returned Monday after spending a few pleasant days' outing up at Eagle lake. Fishing was the main item on the programme, and although many fishy stories happen on such trips, they brought home some of the goods to show. Some of the trout they had measured as much as twenty inches which was only an infant in comparison with one R. H. nearly got. J. J. Armstrong returned Friday after having a successful business trip in the Boundary country with relation to disposing of fruits etc. Many niarke*ts are open now to .Keremeos produce and it now depends entirely on the fruitgrower- himself how he. handles his crop for shipment. This is of the greatest importance: as havers will not receive any fruits that are not put up to standard. On Saturday last Mrs. Daly, Miss Daly, Miss Corrigan and George Allison returned from a delightful holiday spent around Princeton and at Eagle Crooker's meat shop was broken into about 2:30 Wednesday morning anil $7.50 cash taken. The entry was apparently made by the back door, although a broken window looked as if a 'speedy- exit had been made by that route. There is evidently some one in the vicinity who is practising amateur burglary and the sooner he he is spotted the be'ttter. Hotel Keremeos Opposite G. N. K. Station MRS. A. F. KIRBY,, Proprietress.

They brought home some fine trout weighing from a pound and a half to three pounds and measuring from fourteen to twenty inches. They claim of all the holidays spent along the Tulaineen in the past they never enjoyed themselves as much as they did this time. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Lawless of Lake- Held, Ontario, are visiting Mrs. P. Bromley. Mrs. Lawless is a younger sister of Mrs. Bromley and they had not seen each other for many years. They are delighted with the west in general having spent a few weeks at different places along the line on their way out. After spending another week in Keremeos they will go to Vancouver where they will spend a week or two before returning home. The baseball team met with a sad defeat at the hands of the miners by a score of 0 to 4. On account of too many vaudeville acts and evening e:oncerts and irrigation stunts, there is. no wonder that everything was not as it should or would have have been. Another thing we would like to mention is the fact that Keremeos has always been told in the past that its members of any club have always behaved in ji gentlemanly manner, but if things don't alter we will have no good name to go away with. There is no need of rowdysui of any inscription, and those that want to spoil the good intentions of the others should he politely told to keep off the grass.
