HEDLEY GOLD MINING CO. DETAILS OF THE DISCOVERY Gratifying; Report of a Successful Year���������Mine and Works in Fine Shape To the President and Stockholders. Hedley Gold Mining Company, New York City. Gentlemen;' v I beg to report progress for the year 1910, as follows: '. ' ;. Mining on your property has been carried' "oh . continuously and -IG.S2S tons of ore mined and milled. For the fir.se four months, practically no developineht work was done owing to-shortage, of power. Such struction' but was decided on after finding the new ore body in the lower levels.

The ore broken for the -year is about 16,000 in excess of the ore shipped to the. mill and is lying in the ���������-..stupes.

Preparation ! sidered it wise to do the work well. Prof. Ii. \V. Brock, director of the geological survey, announced yesterday that diamonds have been discovered by the survey in a British Columbia rock, the first recorded discovery of diamonds in Canada. "The rock carrying the crystals is a peridotite of the variety known as diiuite, consisting of olivine and chro- nnte," said' Prof. Brock. "The rock specimens in which diamonds were found were collected by Mr. Chas. Camsell, bn'Olivine mountain near the Tulaineen river, where" Mr. "Camsell has been making a geological evi ination on behalf of the sui . -'. Samples, of the rock were 'srihm . to Mr. B. A. A. Johnson, mint-ia.. ist of the survey, to ascertain the nature of the chromium mineinls. In the course of his examination, Mr. Johnson secured some insoluble fragments of crystals ..which' appeared to be diamonds. More of this material was separated out and a series of tests conducted by Mr. Johnson establishes beyond . doubt the nature of ..the materials. "The individuals so far extracted, from a number of samples,-are.small, none of them being' larger than an ordinary pin-head but many appear unV der the microscope to be clear and bright, and of good quality, though some are.yellowish or brownish. '"The diamonds found occur in the chroniite and-not-.-in the olivine of the rock*. Tlie chrpinite .occurs, as shore; irregular veinlike segregations an inch or-.more in width, in irregular masses and as small disseminated grains through the rock. Gold and platinum also occur in the chroniite. "On account of tlie small size of the diamonds, and the irregular distribution of the chroniite, the discovery is. of scientific, lather than of commercial importance. "ft is possible that the placer deposits found in the streams draining peridotite rock-mass may contain stones of greater size, although the fact that placer mining for gold and platinum has been carried on for a number of years ��������� without such a. discovery having been made, tends to lessen the possibility, as stones of commercial size in the sluice boxes would Leapt to attract the attention, of the miners. "The peridoti.te in which the diamonds occur is often weathered to ser- nentine. it is interesting to note? that it is closely related to the rocks which form the matrix for the Arkansas diamonds and for the South African. The discovery of diamonds in British Columbia was not altogether unexpected by the survey, officials working there have for some time been .011 the lookout for them. Some yeais ago. the present director obtained some microscopic crystals which were believed to be diamonds and which gave positive results in all tests to which they could be submitted, as a result of which prospectors were notified to be mi the lookout for diamonds in British Columbia. The'present discovery, however, is the first in Canada which can. be definitely announced. is now being made to drift lo the payable section, as shown in the drill coie.

THE MAN OUT ON BAIL McConncIl of the Saturday Sunset, the man out 011 bail, continues to be nasty. If he were not out on bail In- might not be able to be nasty, so it may be a. ease of "making hay while the sun shines." The commission of Justice of the Peace held by the Edi tor of the Gazette seems to worry tin Sunset editor. For his information we may tell him that the editor asked ihe Attorney-General's department to be relieved of the commission and its responsibilities after a full statement was made to him of the circumstances and all the correspondence and other documents connected with the wireless agency offered for his inspection or the inspection of anyone whom he might appoint. Ilisieply was a. request for us to reconsider the matter of resigning and an expression of Unbelief that no culpability was attached. McConnell's continued treatment of the cirrum.-tauce shows him to be a man of so irresponsible and dangerous nature thai it begins to look as if the- court was in error in leaving him as he- is���������out on bail.

Verily the age when you must "only whisper iL" is And now when we are able to see in plain ligures year by year just what is being done the old policy of secrecy and mystery appears sillier than ever and the wonder is, what did they expect to gain by it.-". it. is pleasing to ntkte the plain, unequivocal languge of the general superintendent, Mr. G. P. Jones, in reporting on the present and future of the mine. Where he describes the present condition of the mine each property is taken in turn and in in-la single case is there anything to w.-ir- j I rant any ground for pessimism. In "AT IT HERE SiriCS tv-.

Price Allison, Minster of'Finance ami Agriculture in Premier McBride's cabinet, and while these must be gratifying to the Minster, they are even mme so to his friends. The latest appreciation in an English paper is an apt eulogy which aims at analysis in the columns of Vanity Fair. That publication incidentall touches a little on the strenuou.suess of his early life but Price's friends could go deeper in that phase of it, for theieiu, to them, lies his great stiengtli when they contrast his present position with that of twenty years ago and less. Advancement has not swollen his head a whit and there is not a pinch of the snob in his make-up. If he had occasion to do so he could go through the streets of Vernon to-morrow in overalls, coat less and with a single suspender and feel quite as unabashed and natural as of old; and none of his old tillicums of those days could meet him on the sidewalks of Victoiia today without receiving as hearty a. greeting as ever they did, no matter in what company the Minister of Finance might be at the time. This may seem a trivial estimate or test of worth but it is not. In fact it is a test for strength of character and true worth that there are only too few of our public men who will measure up to. Hospitality is one of the duties which social convention lays upon the public man and there will doubtless be many instances in which Price Ellison will respond to it when the guest who partakes will contrast the circumstance with a similar experience associated with the blazing embers uf a camp fire in some old-time Okanagan cow camp. Only a few days ago when discussing his preferment with mutual friends the incident of the ungracious attack made upon him by Parker Williams came up and this friend remarked "when Parker Williams undertakes to follow Prim? Ellison all day on a. trail he' will find himself long before night a mighty tired man." Indeed when Parker Williams' blatant spirit deiiiagoguery prompted him to identify Price KHis-iii with the suiupfuous- living pampered rich and himself as the champion of the toilers he never shot wider of the marl-: nor indulged in a more rank piece of the forensic humbug for which he has become so noted. view of this what are we to think of either the capability or the sincerity of the former two managers m seeking to deceive both their principals and the public in the maimer they appear to have done ? Iii contrasting the two policies how much better is it for the company itself to let the truth he known and thus head off a lot of absurd surmises and exaggerated ideas on the part of the public whose suspicions Were sure to be aroused by a policy of mystery anil secrecy. * A very comfortable feature of the report too is the statement that so far. thei e has not. been noticed any tendency fiir decrease in value of the ore as greater depth is attained. This is an encouraging feature for the holders of other mining properties in the camp and should also be an incentive, for them to endeavor to have something done to show that they too, liave the goods.

On Wednesday of last week a frame stable over on Cawston street, used by W. Simons went up in smoke about midafternoon.

There was no insurance, The fir trees which showed the ill elt'ects of the caterpillar raid last summer show no signs of recuperating and are evidently in for making a die" of it. In addition also it has been noticed that some other trees that had not begun to wither last year are showing signs of dying this spring. As yet nothing has been done towards combating the evil and there is a fair prospect of the nuisance being worse than ever this year. A town the size of Hedley that is not incorporated is up against it in a score of ways.
