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.

FREE MILLIKG PROPERTIES British Columbia, First Compelled Public Attention by the Wonderful Record of the Old Cariboo-Outlook on the Sailor Consolidated, Waterloo and Others. The honor of being the first regular iviclend payer in lode mining in thin rpvirice belongs to Camp McKinney, rheve the Cariboo mine, eleven years go, began its monthly product of. iillioh. The caiup was discovered in 1887 by J. McKinney, Rice, Burnham and ,efevre. The discovery claim was the !ariboo; and the Amelia .was''" the only ther location which they took up. 'he camp was named. McKinney and he small creek which van within atew eet of the spot where the fhst lich peeiinens yvere uncovered, was named lice creek. This streamlet, nevei too urge at any time to step acioss,, hut lerennial, has the honor ot supplying he batteries and concentiaten's with he Water which washed out a little >ver .'$1,270,000 in bullion, outol which i, little oyer 5^559,(300 yy.is paid m liyidends. Curious to relate the eail> distov-1 ;rers failed entirely to si/.c up the situation geologically, and although J tuning claims yvere. then only (5(10 feet j vide they staked their claims across i ���������he-vein. j Others followed, making the same, i nistake, and the Okanagan, Alice; and j Emma are also 000 feet claims staked I icross the vein: but a little; later the \ r'act was recognized that the. vein ran ���������ast and west and that a vein which tva-s presumably a-western extension ran through the; Alice, Eimna, Maple. Leaf and Eureka claims. The holders ������f the. original rich discoveries yvere [ioor nu;n, and it yvas not until John Douglas and some wealthy associates in the east obtained possession of the Eureka that any considerable expenditure of money in development was svitnessed; but in 188S some $27,000 ���������.vas spent on the Faneka. afte>r which yvoi-k was shut doyvn. In 1801. James M'onahan," C. King and G. B. McCauley pure;hase;d the Cariboo and Amelia, hut did nothing I of importance'm the. way of develop-j inent until thespriug. of 1801 when I straightened eircunistanc(;s . drove j them to seek relief from financial em- i harassment*, by calling on the bullion j reserves of the Cariboo.

Kruger at Osoyoos for a feyv months on the. duty i and obtained a force of miners from ! Washington on the bargain that their j pay yvas to come out of the ore. These j yveve hard conditions for any mining ' ..property to meet, and only once in a [lifetime can a mine be found yvhich discovered by Gerricke before the Cariboo. With the .commencement of opera-' tions on the Cariboo in 1801 staking began, and the ground yvas coyered in all directions for miles around. The first company to operate after the Carilioo was the Hock Creek Gold Mines Company, yvhich began on the. Victoria in 1896; the Minnehaha Company'iii 1807; the Waterloo Company 1898, while 1899 witnessed a regular crop of mushrooms in the; corporation line, the most important among the flotations of that year being the Sailor Company, since Amalgamated with the Minnehaha. The original Cariboo Company yvas re-organized in 1898 and its capitalization increased to $1^250,000. The Cari- hoo has been developed to the 600 foot level, but a hand-to-mouth policy was pursued in its operations ..chiving- the entire ten years of its busy rich life, and to this, move than to any great diminution in either quantity or value of the ore, is due the present condition of affairs with its attendant suspension of work; so much so in fact that it is claimed that on a resumption of woik a considerable portion of the old woiking^ would have to be abandoned THE WATERSHED OF KEREMEOS CREEK And the Many Valuable Mining Properties Therein Contained. ROUND ABOUT OLALLA. Are the Operations of the Olalla Gold Mining Company���������-Many Other Fine Properties of Various Lucky Owners. Olalla, occupies a commanding position yvith reference to the 'mineral deposits of the Keremeos A'alley. It is situated at the confluence of Olalla and Keremeos creeks, ahout two and a half, miles north of Keremeos townsite. The site of this little mining town yvas formerly knoyvn as "Olallie Creek" j in operation the company's" properties and was, owing to the abundance ol | ,idjoining the town should he lapidly wild benies dining the summer season I hi ought into a condition to produce a and its fieedom lioni the mosquito | huge tonnage, pest, a favoiite camping giound toi j The Olalla Company oyy ns a \aluahie ���������their size and knoyvn values���������sufficient has bt;en done to prove their character and to show -tip large; quantities of high-grade, copper-gold ores. These. ores,- in a.'majority of cases, are of a peculiarly favorable self-fluxing character, and it is confidently expected that with the .-advent of tlie "Iron Horso"~noyv yvithin measurable distance;���������that smelting facilities yvill be added and an immediate era of prosperity, permanent in character, will be inaugurated., The. Olalla Copper Mining anel Smelting Company has its headquarters here. It is ..understood that this company contemplates the installation of a-power plant, to be operated by water, at an early date, in fact the necessary ditching and grading for the flume is completed, the lumber-and ties and trestle timber on the ground and all in readiness for the immediate completion of the plant. Negotiations are., tinder way for the; reepiire-d machinery, and. there is.reason to expect the; plant will be in operation yvithin a short time.

Victor'i.v, March 18.���������The session of the legislature; yvhich at (list promised to be a y-ery short one. noyv gives promise of lengthening out to a considerable; length. The great obstacle in the yvay of completing business is that of the deciding upon railway legislation. During the \vet>k Premier McBride has referred to the. question of railway legislation in an'-incidental-'way. He expressed himself as absolutely e>p- posed to--'tying- himself ���������'up to any scheme yvhich yvould not mean actual i airway-' construction. There, yyas enough paper"railway legislation noyv. During the greater part of the week the question of railways yvas before the government caucus, hut so f".r no satisfactory solution of the matter haw been reached. It is said that in the caucus when railways are discussed the- memher for Similkameen takes one of the most important places. While recognizing that other sections of the province have claims upon lines he is said to turn his face determinedly against their being served before his constituency is considered. It is, therefore, safe in saying 'that whenever a raihvay policy is unfolded to the legislature; it yvill contain a road for the territory of which Similkameen is a very important part. Mr. Shatforcl's enthusiasm yvith respect to his constituency is having a most beneficial effect upon the members on both sides of the house, and they are being fast educated up to recognizing that that is the next part British Columbia yvhich must be served by railways. The bill to amend the Assessment Act of last year has been introduced and yvas received yvith such general favor that from tin; opposition side- only the leader spoke to it on its second reading. In doing so he took occasion to express approval of it and promised that his side of the house would support it. The hill puts timber lands and coal lauds iu a.separate class for assessment purposes from -wild land. The; taxation on wild la.nds is reduced from 5 per cent to 'i per cent, and on personal property the tax is reduced. The minister of finance said thai while taxation yvas reduced the purpose yvas to collect, it very carefully and thus make up for the loss.

THE HEDLEY GAZETTE, MARCH 23, 1905. Mi! iV C'ontiiuiui'l roin First, fayo. vein going fa-1, er south than was foimerly supposed, .strengthens that view and has n important hearing upon the. fut re of the Sailor 'properties. From the Sail, r Company has been obtained the fol' yving brief sketch of its holdings, com il<d from reports of its manager, D. A. Hoss: "The Sailor Consolidated Company's holdings consist of all the assets of the; former Sailor and Minnehaha -Companies'and covers a greater area than any other company in Camp McKinney, totalling over a dozen properties, most of them crown granted. Some of them being the Sailor, Rover, Alice Fraction, Snowshoe, Diamond, Toledo, I Jellevue Fraction, Minnehaha,-Golden Crown, Cariboo Fraction, and a number of others���������ah ait 50 acres each. fine new machinery and other assets of the Minnehaha Company thought they yvould have no difficulty in immediately securing sufficient funds to put the. company in a condition to soon pay handsome dividends.. .Just about this time, however,.the depression set in in mining and the company have simply been inarking time ever since;. "The properties are. all entirely clear of debt, and noyv that the mines of British Columbia arc; beginning to show the people of the east their tremendous possibilities, it only awaits proper development' to justify the early expectation's of those interested in the Sailor Consolidated iin'd other free milling gold mines of British Columbia, when, doubtless, Cam]) McKinney yvill resume its former place as one of the; largest free'milling gold mining camps in British Columbia." THE WATERSHED OF Continued from First Page. THE ROCK CREEK CAMPS. On the north fork of Rock creek are a number of claims that carry good value, but are apparently not free "The company has all the necessary ! milling. office buildings, boarding houses, bu"k houses, machinery and other building--.

At one point an immense road through the valley passing nearby, while the Canadian Pacific surveyed line, runs within half a mile of the yvest end of the group. The property, can he'largely developed through tunnels and should prove an important factor in the future activity < f this valley. SHAMROCK��������� ELDORADO. These tyvo claims join the Dolphin on the; north and east. They have been but partially opened, but give evidence of containing bodies of ore of large extent and value. Adjoining the Eldorado on the northeast is the Opulence, a claim opened by a shaft some 50 feet in depth, yvith a crosscut of 25 fe'������ t at the bottom. This claim possesses a high'grade-native copper ore bodv^assavs running from 2% to The sti ike of the Opulence oi e Hoist at Saii.oi; Mixe, Gallows Fit-iME fok Hoist, Sailor Mink. and outhouses, a five-drill air com- j the.

This claim has produced more hand-made hody is supposed to be in a direct dine through the Eldorado-Shamrock ground into the Dolphin. The Opulence is situated at an elevation of about 3500 feet above sea level. BLACK DIAMOND AND CALUMET These claims lie directly north of and adjoining the Dolphin' and Eldorado-Shamrock group; A shaft 50 feet in depth has .been sunk cm the Black Diamond through a hornbleiidic formation. ��������� The. owners state that assays of 3% copper have been obtained from average samples taken from.the bottom of this shaft. Several open cuts have also been run on this property, all, yve understand, showing ore, or very strong evidences of mineralization. The Calumet has been opened by a number of surface cuts and has ore running an -average of $7 per ton. It b:tiy of low grade-pre occurs, yvhich, ���������although too loyv in value to admit of heavy transportation charges being paid, may he worked at a profit' if reduction facilities are 'immediately' available. BULLION GROUP. This group adjoins the Flagstaff oii the north and Olalla on the east. The pi operty is developed hy several tunnels, shafts, surface; stripping and open cuts. u The principal:showing is in what is knoyvn as the copper cut, where a body oi high grade copper-gold ore has been opened to a depth of about 50 feet. About 150 tons of ore is on the dump at this point which will average' at least $30 per ton in gold and copper. This ore body is now' being undercut by a tunnel, yvhich is also in ore. running 'trp to 5% copper and from $3 to $8 per. ton in gold. A partial analysis oi this ore showed the percentage of silica to be loyv and iron high. This sample yvas taken from the tunnel noyv being driven under the copper, cut. The result was as follows: Silica 9.93%, copper 2-1.33%, iron 18 53%. The gangue is lime and the oie self-fluxing. In addition to the above body of high grade ore, .immense pyrrhotite and iron cappings occur throughout the property. In many instances good gold values are ohtained from the open cuts in these cappings, but like all bodies of similar character, they yvill require, opening at depth to make their permanent values available for continuous operation. This is partially accomplished, a tunnel being already in 600 feet, which will undercut the principal ore zone in the property at a depth of from 700 to 1000 feet. It is the intention of the owners to employ power and extend . this tunnel sufficiently to open the ore at that level. When this is accomplished'the Bullion group should become a constant shipper and add largely to the prosperity of the adjoining community. OLALLA GIANT AND OLALLA CHIEF. These two claims adjoin the Bullion group on the north, The)- are. but slightly Opened by a surface cut partially across an iron body yvhich appears to be the capping of an ore deposit. Values up to $6 per ton in gold have been obtained from this capping. The. property presents good tunneling facilities, and should deeper development prove an ore hody, can be worked in a most economical manner. is little doubt that this will be carried out as soon as rail facilities are available. This completes the list of the principal properties situated along tlie eiisb side of the lower Keremeos creek valley and extending from near tlie town of Keremeos for a'distance of about six miles, northerly, to.the head of the lower valley, a short distance above the Suiitheram ranch. On the yvest side, of the; valley and commencing about one''mile fdioye Keremeos is the; Roadside, yvhich is opened by shallow shafts and open cuts. Ore; .of, good grade has been found, and there; seems little doubt but that systematic development yvill prove the property to be of permanent value. The ore is copper and gold in a lime gangue and appears to be of a favorable self-fluxing character. Adjoining the Roadside is the Something Good, yvhich has been developed hy si tunnel some 50 feet in length. The values are in tellurides. and formerly it was considered the highest grade proper t> .n this section. It has remained idle for some time however, hut will likely, iu common yvith the other properties adjoining, open up, when rail facilities .ire afforded. North of the Something Good, the Silent Friend, Lizzie D., Florence, and Cream of tlie ������������������ amp have been all opened by surface cuts, short tunnels andshalloyv shaft:;. Throughout these claims, wheiever work has been done, copper-gold ore. has been found, and there seems reason to expect that more practical development yvill result in satisfactory ore values being obtained. The Prince of Wales is a single claim opened by a' number of open cuts along quartz veins which crop through to the surface yvithin its limits. This system of veins seems to follow alongside a large porphyritic dyke which crosses the claim, and yvhich may yet prove to be the real source of values, not only in the Prince of Wales, but in other properties yvhich it cuts through in its course. Adjoining tiie Prince of Wales on the east and lying betyveen it and Olalla is the Sunset, a property of much promise. This claim is opened by a drift tunnel 100 feet in length, and a shaft -10 feet deep, hoth driven on a , quartz vein'about tyvo feet in yvidth. Values Up to $20 per ton in gold have been secured from this property. The big porphyry dyke yvhich occurs in the Prince, of Wales also crosses this claim and adds materially to its value as a prospective producer. GOLCONDA GROUP. This group is opened by a tuiiuel some 250 feet in length. It is well situated for economical development owing to the fact that it can ho largely opened and operated through tunnels. Three per ce;nt copper and large gold values have been obtained. When the present tunnel is completed a body of ore, is expected to Ik; opened, in yvhich event the prope.rty yvill he in a condition to operate permanently.

A number of other claims hav< also promising showings, among yvhich may he mentioned the Homestake, Myrtle;, This group adjoins the; Black Diamond and Calumet on the north and the town of Olalla on the. east. It is developed by several tunnels and open cuts. The surface of this group is distinguished by an immense iron capping, all heavily copper stained, and carrying in addition to small copper Gem, Dewey, Jim Crow, City of Paris values from one to three; dollars per and Nighthiuvk. ton in gold. ATLANTIC AND WHEEL OF FORTUNE. These claims adjoin the Olalla Giant and Chief on the north. The Atlantic has hut little development. The Wheel of Fortune has been opened by a series of open cuts in an exceptionally heavy iron.cap. There is reason to expect that operations at depth yvill prove ore bodies of value to exist on these claims. Adjoining the Wheel of Fortune on the northeast a projierty owned by Messrs. McKay and Knoyvles presents an attractive appearance, having a particularly fine iron capping occur- ing betyveen felsite and lime. This property requires deeper development, yvhich there; is every reason to expect yvill prove remunerative to the owners. GOLDEN RULE GROUP. This group consists of six claims, but is entirely undeveloped. An especially strong iron capping, occurring along a felsite-diorite contact, crosses this property. Assays from surface samples running up to $10 per ton have been ohtained, yvhich indicate ore of workable value at depth. Development is justified hy the showing on this property yvhich, in all probability, yvill pi'ove remunerative. MOUNT ZION. This property adjoins the Sniitherain ranch about four miles above Olalla. Considerable; development has been carried out and ore of good grade opened. Further development is understood to he necessary to lender the ore available for extraction, but there This property possesses a, -very fine surface showing, consisting of a magnetic iron capping. It is also traversed hy tlie same big" dyke yvhich crosses the Sunset and Prince of Wales claims, lying to the east and adjoining it on that side;. A shaft has been sunk 30 feet in the magnetite. In the bottom of this shaft copper pyrites are found and there'seems every reason to expect that deeper development wrill result in opening a large; deposit of this metal. Beloyy the shaft, on the side;- hill, an incline has been sunk for some distance on an ore body shotving,. yvhere copper values up to 18% have been opened. These values dip to the yvest and under tin; magnetite; at the point yvhere the shaft has been sunk. Other openings made in prospecting- the surface; shoyv copper and gold values. There is very good reason to expect tin; Copper King group to rank among the prominent producers of the- near future. ELK HORN GROUP, The Elkhorn group joins Olalla oi?; the. west and consists of six claims, all crown granted. The property is do- velopcd by a tunnel 110 feet in length and a considerable amount of open cue, work. The; values are principally in copper, although small gold values are also occasionally obtained. The property is most favorably situated for economical development and may be expected to add materially to the tonnage produced by the other properties located along both sides of the- lower Keremeos valley. HEMATITE. North of the Elkhorn group and about a mile distant, Mr. J.. Knowles. owns-a location on a body of hematite; which is said to be of large extent and good grade. If this hematite deposit THE HEDLEY GAZETTE, MARCH 23, 1905. 3 proves sufficiently pure its operations Avill add largely to the property of the lower Keremeos valley. This completes the list of. properties in'the. lower Keremeos valley.' Volumes might be written regarding thei geological and physical features of this portion of the valley, and all of the most interesting character, but space; will not permit even if the 'precise information yvere available. Suffice it to say that sufficient is now knoyvn to .enable a most prosperous future to be foretold yvith certainty and that this section, iii common yvith the; upper portion of the Keremeos creek valley and the entire Similkameen, yvill rank at an early date among the great mineral producing sections of the ��������� irlobe. UPPER, KEREMEOS CREEK VALLEY. Riordan mountain is probably the best knoyvn property in the upper valley. The combined property, known as the Riordan Mountain group, occupies the summit of a .small .-'mountain' betyveen the headwaters of Keremeos and Twenty-Mile creeks. The"property is opened by a tunnel about 40 feet in length and a considerable amount of open cut yvork. Immense bodies of copperTgoid ore in a lime and garnetite gangue occurs on this property. Values run from a feyv dollars to $30 per; ton. , It is-oonfi- ������������������ "tieiitally stated by experts yvho-have examined this property that ���������practical' ', development only is required to open up an immense deposit of ore. of commercial value on this group. This would seem to be a correct estimate as the capping, consisting of a mixed lime, quartz,-garnetite and magnetite extends across a portion of the Shamrock and entirely acioss Billy Gout claim, from east to yvest. while it c.iu be traced north and south for miles across the adjoining country. Whatever future development may disclose to be the real chameter of this pi o- perty, there is one thing cei fain at present, and that is, th.it it piesents noyv the; earmarks of a valuable, though "undeveloped property. Neath of Riordan mountain 'the Penticton and adjoining claims, oyviie.cl hy Robert Stevenson of Princeton, is situated. This property possesses n,n immense. iron-capping, principally pyrrhotite. Like the great majority of claims in the vicinity of Riordan mountain, the Penticton gives every promise of becoming, yvith development, a property of large and permanent value. Southeast of Riordan mountain R. AV. Northey is operating a group of claims. It is understood that- he has opened up a- fine grade of copper pyrital ore at a depth oIi 50 feet. During the; past season several important strikes have been mack; by Mr. Northey who expects to secure a property of large value from the group he is noyv developing. Access to the Northey claims is by yvay of the Nickel Plate yvage.m road, yvhich also passes close to the Riordan Mountain group. assessment yvork last season, bodies of garnetite carrying copper pyrites yvas opened on 'these claims, yvhich noyv promise to develop into valuable properties.' Access to these properties is by the Nickel Plate wagon road. The Apex group, .owned hy W. D. McMillan and W. J. Forbes, is another property of undoubted merit. Development on this property', consists of shaft and tunnel work'exposing' largo bodies of pyrrhotite and arsenical iron running high in gold and carrying considerable; values in copper. Access to this property is by a short trail yvhich connects,with the Nickel Plate. road. , Near the Apex group J. F. Allison and George Ham are opening up a property which runs yvell in gold. ���������West of the Apex group, on the yvest- ern end of Dividend mountain, a number of Sandon men oyvn and have Forks. During the prosecution '..of. later on in the history of the mines of this section, .he available throughout the upper Keremeos valley'. North of the McDonald-Weedon group and a-ci'oss Keremeos creek the Green Mountain group is situated. This property consists of several claims running back from tlu; Nickel Plate; road to the .summit of Green mountain. Development consists of a series of tunnels and open cuts,in a heavy pyrrhotite capping. It seems, however, .-that the capping, yvhich is exceptionally heavy, has not so far been penetrated. The prospective value of the property, liowcver, is good, and there seems little, doubt hut what .'..intelligent- development yvill reveal ore'of commercial value. Like the McDonald-Weedon group it is yvell situated for economical development and operation should the* oyvners decide;' to ''open it>up. , " <' ���������' North of the Green Mountain group a claim owned by Mrs. Daly of Kere- Some Reminiscences of a Distinguished and Eventful Life.

The Dividend group, consisting .of .seven claims, occupies the summit of Dividend mountain. An immense capping occurs on this property, consisting of- pyrrhotite, arsenical iron and copper pyrites in a garnetite and lime gangue. Considerable .surface yvork has been done throughout the group, hut at no point has the capping been penetrated. Work is noyv in progress, intended to penetrate the c:apping and determine the character and value of the; ore at depth. Like the neighboring properties, the Divi- dend group can be rated as a very pro.rnising prospect. Adjoining the Dividend on the north a claim owned hy Mr. Clarke, of Green Mountain, possesses a very promising shoyving. Considerable open cut yvork and vein stripping has been done yvith favorable results. Those yvho have visited this claim are emphatic in their statements regarding its prospective value.

East of tlu; Daly claim and the-Green Mountain group McKinnon Bros, of Hedley and Nedl McLean oyvn a group of claims. A shaft has been sunk on this.property to a- sufficient depth to penetrate the. capping and good values in copper and gold disclosed. Like the Green Mountain and other nearby properties, it is a tunneling proposition and can be operated economically. A group of claims located at Fish Lake have; no knoyvn value. It is possible, hovt'ever, that thorough exploration, may disclose ore of sufficient value to justify development of the property, especially as it is most conveniently located. The foregoing sketch is imperfect in so far as complete mention of all the properties located in the upper valley- is concerned. Many locations of merit have doubtless been overlooked, yvhich may eventually prove to be amongst the best producers of mineral we-'.'.th in that section.

In Klondyke boom days the business conscience was thoroughly seared, and the business appetite whetted to the accumulation of dollars by any method at all upon which, by the widest scale of interpretation, tlie label "commerce" or "business" could be tacked. The humans may be stampeded as we'.l as the lower animals. The Klondyke boom was a veritable stampede and the human animals in it regarded as legitimate prey by the coast dealers. The construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific was looked upon as likely to afford a similar opportunity for a "pitch in," and yvhen the elector went to the polls last'--.November all other considerations went down before it. The thing must not be postponed. Bo it became necessary to make a decoy duck o-. Senator Templeman, who produced the letter from Charles M. Ha.-'s that construction would be commenced at the western end. and therefore if the, wanted' to do neveral million dollars' worth of business next summerthey should vote fen* the liberal candidates. The Gazette does not accuse; Senator Temple- man of deliberately deceiving tlie people in this matter and is ot tin; opinion lie yvas (ricked yvith the rest: but it thinks that he should consider his personal honor and should now resent being made to play the part that he did. lb; has an influential paper in Victoria that hold up. "The, Grand Trunk Pacific officials," according . to the Victoria Times, "have become more pressing for a decision as to whether their'company is to get a land grant." Does the Times think that they should get a land grant? Let the Times face tins issue for once and tell us just whore it stands. All its references to the subject so far have been vovy playful and light-hearted. It could always extract a, great amount of amusement out of the imaginary embarrassment of Mr. McBride's government in having the G. T.P. people thundering at their doors for this land grant; but the funniest part of all this forced gaiety on the part, of the Times is the tremendous effort it requires to put forth to try to make believe that the joke is not on itself. This mask of amused disinterestedness is too thin. Is the Times wid the hold-up or agin it? ' Although rumors are still flying regarding speedy construction of the Great Northern and C. P. P., there seems to be an entire-absence of authentic information. The most significant announcement of all during the past Aveek was that made by D. C Corbin in Spokane, in which he stated on his return from New York, that he had completed arrangements for the building of the Spokane and International, which will bring the C. P. P. into Spokane. Corbin, more than Hill, or any of the other railway magnates is given to keeping his woi'd, and when he says he is going to do a thing he does it. The greatest rail way blunder made in Canada was when the Government at Ottawa in 1898 refused Corbin a charter to build into the Boundary, when he was willing t���������: do so without asking any bonus. But the significant feature is that yvhen the C. P. B. reaches Spokane it has done the cheekiest and most daring thing it could do by way of an invasion of Mr. Hill's territory, and if anything were wanted to precipitate, a war between these two great systems it is this slap in tiie face from the C.

The story of how it Avas received is thus told hy the Times: "Captain Sykes of the Nautilus, and Lieutenant Lapenotiorc; of the; Pickle schooner, arrived at the admiralty together about half-past one o'clock yesterday morning. The former did not, as' yvas generally .understood,., arrive from the scene of action; he fell in by accident with the Pickle; schooner, and on learning the -intelligence proceeded immediately to Lisbon with the infor- 11 lation, from whence he was sent yvith dispatches by Mr. Gamerier, the British consul, to England, and landed at '.Plymouth. Lieutenant Lapeno- tiere made the port of Falmouth, and, by a singular coincidence, met Captain Svkes at the gates of thu admiralty." Thus it would appear that Admiral Two weeks ago the Gazette pointed out a few of the objectionable features of the assessment .act.

After all, the first arrangement yvould have been very unsatisfactory, and to have the use of about 2JO miles of line without tlu; nuisance; of bells continually ringing for everything passing over the line, is a much better arrangement. to start yvest from Midyvay. The; evidence it produces to substantiate the claim that the road is to be built up Boundary creek from Midyvay, is that Chief Engineer Kennedy and three engineers had been busv for several days tying up the loop, connecting the M"uhvay-Curlew section of the main .ine yvest, yvith the branch up Boundary creek.

" At" the present time yvhen the Okanagan valley is attracting so much attention and its horticultural possibilities so yvidely discussed, a feyv skeiehes of its early (lavs may be of inleresl^to your readers. C aiiiiKMiciuga.tfhe foot of Okanagan lake (Penticton) the valley stretches vo-.tt-U'i-.tiuic; forty miles to the-international boundary line, which crosses Os'wons lake ahout;two' miles from the low.;:- eutl; the Oka1iaga.11 river yvhich conucefs the tyvo lakes is for its greater part a yviwling, sluggish stre.am. forming extensive; meadc'iycs and la.kesin its nie.'iiulering course, making (lie valley an excellent stock.range, perhaps the be ;t in the province. ���������In the early sixties a ���������'custom house wa-; established at Osoyoos lake, in t'hosr-days. the pi-incipal gateyvay to .the ulterior,of British Columbia from the '"nited States,- and 'hundreds of head of cattle, horses and sheep paid duty at the little' ing cabin yvhich stood on a knol! at tin; head of the lake. Suliseipiently a more pretentious- building yvas erected some four miles nearer the boundary, in the vicinity of the naroyvs,, where an old rickety hridge spannefl the; lake si-iid yvhere the If. B. Co. had-, established a trading post on the Hope-Ivooteiiay or ��������� 'Deyvdney trail. At the. time, -of my tirst acquaintance yvith Osoyoos in '72, Mr. Haynes, or as he yvas better knoyvn, .Judge Hayne.s, held, the jiosition of dej.iuty collector of the southern boundary, Mr. W. Loyv being hi-: a-'-:si.--.tant partner yvith him in their cattle ranch. In those days the cattle gr.-.'/.cd indiscriminately on both sides of the boundary line and it may be yvell understood yvhat an ideal stock range it yvas, yvith unlimited summer pasturage on the bunch grass hills of the Indian (American) reservation and the; warm shelter of (jthe low lying meadoyvs of the Okanagan for yvinter quarters. .While the Haynes and Loyv cattle ranged on the. loyvcr part of the valley. Mr. Ellis' famous "09" brand monopolized the upper, and for years some of the finest beef in the Victoria market was furnished from these' herds. For many ye,ftrs Osoyoos yva- the recdgiii'/.ed seat of government <f the district, which at that time extended from the Columbia river to the. Ih-pe mountain. In addition to the; cu-tom house, the land and mining record oflice. the provincial iail and '-uirt house were situated there, in charge of Judge Haines, yvho, on retiring from his position of gold commission"!- in Kootenay, made his home at Osoyoos, building a charming residence, yvb'-re neighbor or chance visitor wo- hospitably welcomed, and where, rounded by his I'amily, he en.joyc l';i'<''.-<!' an old country squire.

He yvas an expert judge of furs and a. good Indian trader, and it yvas nothing unusual to meet at his store some of the noted chiefs from the American side, Joseph, SaseptRin, Moses, Tonasket and others, besides hunters and trappers with their furs to trade for the "details" so dear to the. Si wash. 'Very amusing it yvas to watch a trade carried on in a, mixture j of English,- Indian and Chinook yvith in German accent, a characteristic j trade commencing, "Ach, tillicuni, iklahoyvyah, leeli nanitch, you must j have some tobacco, some; matches and i yve yvill .smoke;," yvhich being duly in- idulged. Mr. Indian -would produce his I poorest skin's (,o trade.

Eventually the gootl j fur yvould be brought forth and the , trading commence hy placing on each skin so many bc;aus, each bean representing a dollar ; these being collected and counted wore then exchanged for blankets, calico, etc., the customary "cultus potlach" of tobacco concluding tlu; transaction. Being situated at the junction of the roads lending to the Shnilkaineen, Penticton, Hock Creek and the; United States, Kruger's was a yvell kuowii and popular stopping place;, and on special occasions, court clays ok-a- cattle round up, a big crowd yvould assemble and a big time yyould result, and should no more interesting matters engage the hoys' attention, the quality of the yvhisky a 1 yvays,afforded a fruitful topic for discussion, its weakness being attributed to the nearby lake, the -assurance of the jovial host that it was No. t Hudson's Bay and its 'great age the cause of its apparent mildness, failing cither to convince the sceptical or'��������� necessitating- tin; consumption of larger quantities, in seeking for its latent strength. .With the opening of stores at Kairvieyv, Camp MrKinney and Oro the trade of .the old store fell off and failing health, added to'increasing years, determined Kruger to retire from business. .Many yvere the regrets yvhen the old stopping place, yvas no more, and later yvhen its hospitable host passed from among lis.

Warmly expressing his high appreciation'of the welcome he had received on entering British territory, the general during his -.short stay made himself most, agreeable, sparing no effort to reciprocate the kindness ot! his host. , For many years the. late Angus Macdmiald of the li.
