MONEY TO'LOAN PENTICTON, B.C. The Similkameen A-alley took a notable step in advance' about three Aveeks ago Avhen the Avheels of the British Columbia Portland Cement Company's'fine factory at Bast Princeton which had been turning for a number of days previous to warm up, began work in the actual manufacture of cement. For years the prosperity of the valley Avas dependent wholly upon stock-raising and at the same time evidence Avas being obtained of its capabilities in fruit growing. Next we had the openng of the Nickel Plate mine in Hedley Avhich established the reputation of the valley as a producer of the precious metals,'* and Avhile this Avas being accomplished the land- OAvhers" at Keremeos Avere' demonstrating still further the enormous capabilities of the fruit-growing industry, but noAV Ave have the district taking its place also as a manufacturing center. The promotion of the industry took place in the late summer and autumn of 1910 Avhen Mr. John George and his associates spied out the land and noted its great advantages. Work began shortly thereafter to open up the quarry and erect the buildings which are massiA'e stone structures the immensity of Avhich may be learned Avhen it is knoAvn that the main factory building is 434 by CO feet the stock house 200 by 60 the power house 118 by 60 and the others of ample proportions. There Avas also the railAvay spur to build, with a railAvay bridge across the Similkameen river and all this was not to be done in a few months. Delays however, did occur at different junctures.. Sometimes it was the railAvay company, Avhich Avas behind, and again it was ca fall-doAvn on the part of the company that undertook certain obligations in connection with" supply of the coal, but "all's well that ends well" and the end of the construction period witnesses the construction of a plant that is the last word in the introduction of up-to-date and approved machinery. Mr, -W. J. Budd who has been in the cement business all his life was under contract from the B. C. Portland Cement Co. to complete the plant and his man on "the ground was J. A. Osborne AA'ho had been with him for years arid had constructed numerous plants in different provinces of the Dominion that are today successful good-paying" institutions,' and the experience thus gained has been used to the best advantage in this last enterprise which stands as a monument to their constructive ability. The plant has been taken over and noAV the operating staff are in charge. The general manager is Mr. A. A. Robertson Avho has spent 23 years in the cement business and understands it thoroughly. With him are D.? C. Chads, chief chemist and; P. Budd. assistant chemist and the chief engineer and master'mechanic is Mr. Cox, formerly of the Hastings mills at Vancouver. With a staff like this where each man is an expert in his special line the best possible" results may be looked for. It is most essential that the proportions of the rock constituents in the raw material be at all times definitely knoAA-n by chemical analyses and it is equally Important that machines be kept in order to do Avith the highest amount of efficiency the work for which they were designed. It Avas to assure these essentials embodies all that experience has proved to be most progressive and right up-to-date a brief description of the process and of the machinery may be interesting. The first impression which the visitor' to, the plant gets is thai the industry is in 3n ideal situation for transport to surrounding and waiting markets. Builr. almost at the junction of One Mile creek and the Similkameen river it has at its disposal the services of the Great Northern railway while the rapidly completing Kettle, Valley line has its survey running within a dozen yards of the buildings. Another feature is the close proximity of tlie United Empire Co's. and the Princeton Coal arid Land Company's coal mines. Limestone rock and shale arc in abundance on the property Avhile the One Mile creek giA-es a never-failing supply of pure Avater for steam boilers, condensers, fire protection service etc.' DRILLING MATCH.

PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE Although the process of manufacturing Portland Cement is definite and defined, consisting of the concerslon by semi-fusion of calcareous and argillaceous materials to hydraulic cementing material, yet the stages in the process are varied and many. These will vary not so much in the process itself as in the methods and machinery used at each stage of manufacture. The objective point is always the same, but the means towards the end differ in nearly every cement plant according to local conditions and to the likes and dislikes of the designer, engineer and superintendent for some particular kind of necessary machine. The latest and most up-to-date lay out in the cement Industry has just been put into operation in the Similkameen valley at East Princeton B. C by the British Columbia Portland Cement Company whose head office is at 615 Hastings St. West, Vancouver, B. C, the plant marking another epoch in that rapidly developing centre of industries. As the mill -The plant-buildings consist of four substantial structures of rough heAvn rock Avith iron roof and comprise: main mill building, coal grinding department, poAver house and huge stock house. The .office and laboratories, store rooms, machine shops and barn are of lumber, provision being made for veneering these Avitli cement block at a later date. It is interesting here to note that the lime used as a mortar in the mill buildings Avas all made on the site from rock out of the quarry site. The quality of'this is such as to justify the company laying dOAA-n a lime plant to supply the large requirements of a Avide area. The principal limestone rock deposits lie in a steep hillside forming part of the property the working bench being noAV at a point about 200 feet above the leA-el of the hill. Here the linmestone is blasted out with heavy charges of moderate power explosives, then hand' shot or sledged doAvn to convenient sizes for handling at the mill and finally tipped over the hillside doAvn into dump cars running on tracks on the loAver level into the mill building. Here the cars come to rest over the huge mouth of a gyratory crusher into Avhich the rock is upset as required. In this preliminery reducer the stone is crushed and then gravity fed into a hammer mill from which it' passes in a finely reduced state into a well acting as a hopper to' an elevator. By this the material is~lifted into a dryer, a long revolving incline cylinder through which it is constantly lifted an drained doAvn aerain.. at the same time bening moved sloAvly fonvard, meeting in its passage doAvn, the hot gases from a furn^ ace burning at the loAver and open end of the dryer. The rock as it emerges from the exit here, is thoroughly dried and is conveyed away by. an eleA-ator to the rock storage hoppers ready for grinding. The shale deposits, also on the property, lie alongside the raihvay spur where it is loaded into cars, run into the mill building, fed through crushing rolls and reduced to a unifbrrii size suitable for drying. The shale dryer is similar in construction and operation to the rock dryer and from this the dried shale is elevated into a second hopper standing alongside the rock hopper. Between these is situated the weighing machine on AA'hich the correct proportions of limestone and shale are hourly adjusted by the chemist, the two materials being brought together in small quantities to ensure a good mix. The discharge from the Aveighirig machine is taken by elevator into storage tanks situated OA*er a battery of ball mills into Avhich the raAV materials now mixed, are pul\-erized into fairly fine "meal." From the discharge of these ball mills' the "meal" passes through a separator which divides the finer particles from the coarse, and passes the former on through one elevator away to a second grinding mill and returns the coarse back to the Ball mill to be further reduced. The second grinding mills are called tube mills and these take up the final operation on the raAV mix, their function being to reduce the material down to flour fineness ready for the kiln. These mills perform a second and important service also in thoroughly mixing the two materials of the raw mix together, this bing one great factor in ensuring a perfect cement. Each tube mill consists of a long steel cylinder, enclosed, 22 feet long by 5 feet in diameter lined inside with a layer of sllex blocks. The ends are supported by large hollow shafts revolving with the mill in suitable bearings. The turning gear consists of a steel-toothed spur ring attached to the outside of the mill and this is driven by a suitable pinion on a shaft connected by belt to the motor. The material to be ground is fed by a conveyor through one of. the hollow shafts of the trunnions and passed on into the interior of the cylinder. This is half filled with carefully selected round flint pebbles which, as the mill revolves, are lifted up and rolled OA-er continuously. The material has to pass through this constant rain of falling and striking pebbles before it reaches the second or outlet IioHoav shaft where it emerges in the desired thoroughly amalgamated and perfectly ground state. Continued on Page Tavo. ~ With the month eif .Inly is sisseie/ial.ecl expression.*- like "dug days*", "miil- sumitie.'i* msulness" stiicl other things Llutt are seini-bsitty. and over since the first of July Hedley heis been drill crazy. During the whole month thus far there has not; heen three days at a time that there was not some match on of some kind or other, and between practising and talking about it, rock- drilling lists certainly had a very prominent place on the hoards. Following the double-hand match in Princeton on July 12th numerous boasts suid challenges thrown out by J. Beam Avho was one of the tesim that captured second prize at Princeton em Dominion Dsiy, resulted in his stump being taken up by Fred Lyon to drill for twelve iind a half minutes for $100 si side., the match to tsikc place here on Saturday evening. Well, the event took plsice and resulted in Beam proving the winner by a frsiction over four and si half inches, he having drilled 24 3-16 inches in the 12i minutes while his opponent only got 19*3 in the* same.length of time. Beam certainly surprised a gresit many who, owing to his ventricose tendencies did not tstke him seriously, but nevertheless the*. fesit of pounding down thsit 24 3 16 inches avhs si performance thsit speaks for itself and is not to be explained away in any manner that c.-in detract from the merit of the achievement. Con McKinnoh turned steel and changed drills for Beam, Avhile si like office aa'sis performed by George B. Lyon for his brother, and the concensus of opinion of those avIio witnessed theirWork is to the effect that the honours lay Avith Con. These sue the plain facts of the csise and anything else Avhich might be added is mere matter of opinion sind nuiy be worth anything or nothing, according to what may he said or who may ssiy it. But AVhile the foregoing may be the main facts they .do.hot tell the whole story. Feu* instance, there is one Avheise name has not. been mentioned Avho in our humble opinion contributed more to the final result than -anybody else, not even the drillers themselves excepted. That one is Tim. Griffin AA'ho sharpened the Avinning steel and sharpened it for the very, rock in J which it was used. In our opinion it j avsis an instance in. which, the best prepared steel Avon, rather than the best driller, iind neither do AA-e think Ave are alone in the belief th.it the defeated m'an.' could have taken the same steel that Avon out and put down'a'deeper-hole, Avith, the drills properly turned smd changed for him. Fred Lyon is the lighter man of the tAvo, but is the better trained athlete and strikes the better blow with the hammer. At the end he aa'sis much the fresher man and his supporters have lost nothing of 'their opinion of him sis si hiinmier man, but their e*on- fidence in his judgment sis to his steel, received a rude jolt. The tempering was alright but the steel was at .fsiult, for that- rock, both in the shape of the bit and in the gauge, but pjuticularly the gauge, which had him expending much of his strength on the sidi������s of the hole Avhile his opponent avsis given every opportunity to make his Woavs tell on the bottom smd nowhere else. Neither do Ave think it is fair to George Lyon to lay all the blame on him, if blame is to be attached, for it is a comparatively easy matter to turn and change Avhen steel is gauged to run free, but is sin entirely different msittei- when it is not, and especisilly in a rock Avith as rough, coarse texture as that rock Avas. THE TRANS- PROVINCIAL HIGHWAY WILL MOVE TO CANADA Big Massachussets Iron Manufacturing Concern Buys Site for Plant at Gait, Ontario Boston, July loth.���������Thsit American plants sue forced to go to Cauadsi to live, smd that from three to five millions of dollars of American capital is invested beesiuse of tariff tinkering in the United States, is the statement made by Governor Foss, ot Massachusetts. Governor Foss is sit the head of the B. F. Sturtevjmt Company, an iron manfacturing concern, and has just purchased a site at Gait, Ont., tvhcfe at least one-third of the output will be. manufactured. The cully parts of the new tiems- provinciiil highway thsit have been built in this portion of the valley, h.tve been for the most part by wsiy of alteration of the existing road in the matter of widening and correction of grade to msike it conform with the Public Works requirements, but on Sunday last the Gazette was privileged to inspect about nine miles or more of the entirely uc*av porliou built by Mr. "VV. A. Mc-Moan' beyond Princeton. By the kindness of the Hedley Gold Mining Co., extended by the general maiiiiger. and Mr. T. Wsilter* Beam, the editor enjoyed the initial trip of the neAv Cadillac car in which a family party consisting of Mr. smd Mrs. Beam and Miss Beam, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Miss Avciniii Jones and Master Gomer proceeded to Mr. W. A. MoLesirfs rond camp nine miles beyond Princeton. The portions of the road between here sind Princeton thsit were altered to conform to trans-provincial standard hist year are'now in excellent shape, especially that silong the river between Holmes' flsttsind the Allison tenviisite*. Some; other portions that sirs undergoing the alteration piocess were* a. bit rough smd very heavy Avith sand which mside hsircl going, and not much provision Avas inside* to get past the bsul places. On the noAV Princeton to- Hope section where it iesu'es Princeton the route bi'gins to climb to reach- the tableland Avhich divides the Tulameen and Similkameen river basins, but the maximum grade allowed is only eight per cent, and it is only si rare thing that they allow thsit gradient to be reached. The road bed is widest on the hills AA'hich is also si convenience and stdds A-ery much to the ssifety of trsivel. Most of the hills in this niiie miles of completed neAv loachvay are to he found in the first three miles out of Princeton, after.which it is splendid going and the route is scenic, Avith glimpses of the Tulameen and Similkameen rivers ��������� f������ r hc'loAy. and park-like uplands stretching awsiy on either side. The road itself is wide and roemiy sirid beautifully- rounded off Avith si croAvn to shed the Avsiter, but in this the happy medium is maintained betAveen the fiat roadbed sind the crown that is sometimes seen Avhere this idesi has been exsiggersitcd. Mr. MoLesiii is an experienced road-builder and his work on this roadway shows thsit it pays to have 'the best talent sivailable where a work of this nisignitude and importance' hsis to be carried out. A short distance beyond his present camp the rosid has been completed over Nine Mile and WhipsaAv Creeks over* Avhich two excellent bridges hsive been constructed. That over Whipsaw has but one 50 foot span which is over > 100 feet above the water. One end hsis an S foot base on si solid rock cliff over the canyon while the other end is supported by si strong double bent. This portion of the. road Avhich resembles a reclining U is scenic to the point of being inspiring. The number of men employed in his present csinip is something over 65 and there are t\yo other gsings fjirther on. The distance from Princeton to Hope* by the neAV road is 5)3 miles, with 41) miles from Princeton to the summit, and 44 from there to Hope*. OFF ON THE BRINY Mr. and Mrs. L. W.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS The Gazette had the pleasure sibout- ���������ten dstys sigo of si visit to the Cement -AVo.rks of The British Colrnnbia Portland Cement Co. at East Princeton, sind Ave are' pleased to present to our leaders this week a ..more or less detailed description of the plsint and the process of manufacture. The benefits Avhich will sii'crue to the valley from st great industry of this kind are too obvious to require tiny specisil attention being drsiAvn to thsit phase of the question, more than is .already given in the descriptive sirticle referred to. It is with special satisfaction thsit Ave note, the welcome intelligence to the effect that the grade of manufactured article is proving to be of such special nietit that there is reason to expect that' through that circumstance alone the district will become famed over the Province of British Coluinhia and in other parts of Canada. When any particular district is able to produce an sirticle of a grside or quality superior to av hat can be obtained elsewhere, whether that ju-ticle be a potsito, sin sipple, si. peach, a quality of tobacco plant, or in the line of manufacture, a ploAV, a wagon, a grade of fire brick or other building msiteristl, that district will be advertised, with a. degree of effectiveness not to be obtained in any other way; and Avhen there is every reason to believe from data already sit hand that this is most likely to occur in the cjisc of the grade of Portland cement turned out. at East Princeton in the Similkameen valley, it is a nuitter for con- grjittilsition on the part of all. Cement is of course a heavy jirticle and transportation charges are against wide distribution of such ;i product Avithout special merit to compel its use in spite of an extra cost through transportation. In the A-alley, we understand, for local consumption Avhile the price at the factory will be higher than the inferior or common grades obtsiined elseAvhere, yet the price to the consumer will he less, because of the saving in transportation over that shipped in from the outside. When another unit is added to the present plant they will be able to make a still further reduction in the price and besides, have more profit for themselves. The present buildings are good for accommodation of two additionfil units. A little exercise of the golden rule should not lie iitniss in town these days. How avouUI any of us- like to he living up in the east addition these heil days ,-intl be unable to get water without carrying'it up .bill .from I,lie creek- just licratisi* a lot til' eilher.- urotmtl'towii are wantonly-Avsisting il?

Then there tire those wliohave such a kindly interest in the bare rocks and the wild mustard ant! tlie niiillin stalks on adjoining- vacant lots that they do not like tei st e them deprived of,.water, and allow their garden hose'to ���������pour out watei by the'''h'arr.i.*! for"hours at ;i timtv while"'the hospital must go witliout .si.-*' the result of such .stupidity' or clistedness.

FINE INDUSTRY FOR VALLEY SUBSCRIBE FOR THE GAZETTE Continued from Page one. The product is then elevated io storage tanks ready for burning and he-re avc reach the end of Avhat is termed the raAV mill. UUHXl NO DE I "A HTM IJ NT In the history of the cement industry no greater or more radical change i was ever made than Avith the introduction of the rotary kiln for burning and this feature'of a plant is undoubtedly the most interesting to the expert and the novice alike. Its introduction made an immense simplification in manufacturing methods as previously practised and its great success Avas the one strong factor in the rapid development of the cement industry both in this country and . in the United States. By the old methods it required from ten to tAvelve days to get. the raAV materials made into finished cement and the rotary has reduced this time doAvn to a feAv hours, Avhile the degree of burning, is all the time under perfect control. x The rotary kiln here is an inclined steel cylinder 125 feet long by S feet in diameter, lined throughout Avith suitable fire clay blocks to Avithstand the high temperature to Avhich it is subjected. The raAV material is fed from the storage tanks at the raAV mill into the upper end of the kiln Avhile finely poAvdered coal is blown in at the loAver or burning end. The kiln is supported on suitable bearings and is sloAvly revolved carrying the raAV material from the feed apparatus down the inclined lining. In the course of its'passage doAvmvards the material meets with the hot gases given off by the burning powdered coal, the heat driving off the Avater and the carbon dioxide of the mix. As it comes further doAvn the kiln and into the burning zone the lime, silica, alumina and iron in the mix, chemically combine forming Avhat is called cement clinker and as such it emerges from the kiln. This clinker is now in small molten lumps, about the size of peas, and is ready, Avhen cooled, to be ground into the finished cement, but before passing it on to the grinding mills it is necessary to thoroughly cool it. When it drops out of the kiln the clinker falls into an elevator AA'hich conveys it to a cooler, another long cylinder similar in construction to the dryers in the rsuv mill. In this the material i-- being continuously lifted up and rained down, gradually moving forward doAvn the incline of the cooler, meeting a current of cool air Mjavii in at the lower end. As it falls out of the cooler the clinker is perfectly cold an.I is then elevated av.-sny to storage tanks over the grinding mills. FINI.Sir.rNCS KM) At the finishing mills the treatment of the clinker is similar to that ot the rock, first being put through ball mills then separators, and finally the tube mills from Avhich it flows as finished Portland cement. A long spiral conveyor carries the finished product through a passage Avay connecting the mill with the stock-house in Avhich the ceme.nt is stored ready for packing into bags for shipment. This stock-hot'.-e is divided into eleven storage bins each capable of holding five thousand barrels of cement The coal grinding house contains a perfect system for drying and pulverizing the coal used as fuel for the kiln. The material as It comes from the mine over the company's track is delivered into the building at a point near elevators lifting it up into a hopper placed at the end of a coal dryer. This is also of a similar type to the rock and shale dryers but has a different firing arrangement. Part of the reA'olvine: cylinder is enclosed in brick Avork in which the furnace is placed, the flames playing around the outside of the dryer and thus avoiding the danger of firing the drying coals inside.. The Avaste gases irom the furnace are conducted through a flue leading into tlie lower end of the dryer through which they pass on to the smokestack. The coal being-dried passes through the cylinder in a. similar Av'ay to the rock and emerges perfectly dry and ready to be ground. If is then corn-eyed to storage tanks placed, over mills in which it is both ..ground and screened both operations".being performed Avith the one machine. As the coal leaves this is reduced to a fineness Avhich leaves very little residue _upon "a sieve1 of ten thousand holes to the square inch, and in this" condition the material is conveyed away to the storage tanks at the firing end of the rotary kilns. The poAver house is a large roomy building of ample dimensions, for the installing at any time of an extra poAver unit. At present there are four Waterpus boilers supplying steam to a compound set of Gbldie & McCulloch Corliss engines coupled direct to a 500 K..'W: generator, this supplying current at 440 volts to the various motors on each of the mills. The machine shop is equipped with all the necessary .modern machine tools to do any repairs or reneAvals throughout the plant. Throughout the whole layout every effort, seems to have been made, to ensure the production of a highly finished product of Portland cement and from the trial runs Avhich Avere first made there was ample evidence that the end aimed at had, been attained and another successful industry is assured to British Columbia. As evidence ���������' that they hsive* now been able to'produce.-si most superior grade' of cement- the following iiualy.-is made* on tlie clay of our A'isit which wsis handed.'into the office sis the oieliiiiiry part.of the day's Avork, is give*n herewith and shows sis follows; Silica ....... ...��������� 23.28 per cent Iron ..v.

There is just as good work being done in country offices as in the cities, and often as poor work in the cities as in the worst country shops In Prices the country office can do just as well for you and you save the express. The city printer may get his stock a trille cheaper by saving the local freight, but his rent and other overhead expenses are higher, and in the end he is obliged to charge as much or more than the country printer will charge for the same class of work. ��������� ��������� x THE HEDLEY GAZETTE is prepared to do any kind of work that may come along. No order too small and none too large.
