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.

AROUND THE Many Evidences That Mark a Great Mine HUGE ORE CHAMBERS OPENED UP FINALLY TAKEN OVER The New Owners of the Nickel are Now in Full Possession Getting Ready to Operate From Lower Tunnel���������Taking- Down the Backs In a Few Places. .Vernon, B. C. The Gazette paid a visit to the Nickel Plate last week and was in some of the workings that-we had not, seen for a considerable time. The changes that had taken place were in many cases surprising, and to stand in some of those chambers and see the huge subterranean caverns that have been hewn out, the immensity of the whole thing begins to dawn on one. But of course we must remember that the production in the short time that the mine has- been working has been great --about $2,500;000 in--gold-bullion- arid as it is not claimed that the mine is high grade ' except in places, this must mean the taking out of a large tonnage of rock. . The pillar and chamber method of mining has been employed which is "generally that adopted in "low grade mines where the ore bodies are of- immense size and the ground firm and good. ; ���������In. the neighborhood of the old origi-- rial Nickel Plate glory hole they are breaking down .the backs, which, we understand is being allowed to accumulate as a big reserve' of broken ore. Also they are breaking out ore in the bottom of this old gloi-y. hole- which is Last Wednesday; telegrams came from New York advising representatives, on the ground'that the final payment had been made arrd forthwith the final order was posted by the late manager in which he took a fond farewell of the crews and staff in the customary patronizing phraseology which has characterized Iris numerous proclamations and promulgations; for in-this respect the mantle of Washington lrving's Immortal Wilhelrrrus Kieft or "William the Testy" seemed have fallen on his .shoulders. But in this particular proclamation there seems to have been a "knock in the push" and the erstwhile Hoosier barrister had apparently not understood all the legal bearing of the situation for the "proclamation" was after-Winds retouched as to certain parts of its "innards" and a sentence dealing with the cessation of responsibility of the old company/was scratched out. . This, however, is immaterial, the main point being that the new owners are in full possession and Mr. Torres the new manager as general superintendent of mine and works is drreeling the operations. Mr. T. Walter Beam, stock-holder in the new company, who has been looking after the company's interests both before and since the NG WELL STATION SITE LOCATED Attention Now Being Given to Both Kingston and Metropolitan FINE NEW SHOWING ON FORMER Metropolitan's Many Ore Faces ��������� Fat Dumps of High Grade Taken Therefrom���������New Opening on Metropolitan Also. Arrangement Made is Eminently Satisfactory to the Town ������������������ Hedley Appreciates the Concession sale was made in August, is still on the ground and will give Mr. Jones the benefit of his counsel for a little longer, arrd will remain, at all events until-after a visit from Mr.- I. L. Merrill, the president, who is expected along shortly. Meanwhile there is already evidence on all sides that the policy of the new company will be one of progress, but of the judicious kind and.'.changes will be effected when they can be done most economically and effectively. Mr. Jones is getting hold of details'in1 con- now connected with the ore chutes in I nection with the working of the mill the mine and sending it down along with the backs that are being broken down alongside the glory hole. The lower tunnel is heing got ready for- operations, and in all probability next year will see it not only used for the ore that will be extracted from this tunnel and its stopes, but will be used to take out much of the ore in the level-above that now has to be hauled up inclines in order to be handled from the old working tunneL And this lower tunnel is the one which ..was condemned and stripped of its trackage. The glory holes on Sunnysides Nos. 4,3 and 2 were each in turn visited, and each had its own surprise for- the amount of work done and being done; especially Sunnysides No 3. The work to be seen in the various openings, and the shape* "it "is in explains effectually why Mr. Jones who has been responsible for it, is chosen to take direction of the whole concern by men who are capable of judging it and have had the opportunity of doing so which they have had. "Handsome is as handsome does" is a wise old adage. Mr. Jones has done. Important changes in mechanism to increase the efficiency of the tram rrray also be expected. This, however, is rrot in condition to talk about yet; and lower- works and in a few weeks will have matters at this end as well at his finger ends as he has up at the mine and on the tramways. These have always been under his direction and to his planning and inventive' genius is due mostly the efficiency with which they are now working. Mri Jones is not the man to make changes for the sake of changing. When a change is made it will be because it is needed and can be bettered, not because somebody else had it one way and that therefore it should be some other way. The present time may not be opportune to take in hand some of the improvements contemplated, but it is safe'"' to say that another twelve calendar months will not pass by until the power.question will be in different shape from what it is at present and the annual shortage of water in Twenty-mile will rrot have the s-ime terrors that it has had in the past five years. RICHES OF SUMMIT CAMP Some Pointers on This Noted Camp in the Cascades TO BE OR NOT TO BE Chief Engineer Hogeland Has Come and Gone But Nothing Definite as to Building Beyond Princeton So far as fresh indications looking towards active building operations beyond Princeton, is concerned,':there appear to be none. It is true Mr-. Russel's party is still itr the field working on the revision of the line from the Summit to Otter Flat, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Survey parties were in the same lo" cality all the summer of l!)0f>, and still there is no building there. The time X X X X X X $ X X X X X X\ I.in X; X that has elapsed since Mr. Hogeland's visit and the sphinx-like silence that has been maintained is ominous to say the least, and people are becoming apprehensive. County court is on to-day before udge Hi-own with several cases on docket. Charles Connell, the veteran prospector, arrived in Rossland orr Tuesday from the Hope Summit of the Tulameen from what is known as the Summit carrrp, which is agreatmining centre in the rrraking. Mr. Connell had with him a number of samples of ore from the Celtic Chief group, which he. has been developingfor thepastelcven years. The samples are galena carrying high values in gold, silver, copper and lea.d. Assays show that this ore runs, a little over $100 to the ton. The ore was taken from a blind ledge, running east and west and was encountered while driving a.erossscutin a northerly direction to tap the main lead, which runs east and west. The ledge from which the ore was taken is six feet wide, with a paystreak ol! twelve inches the balance being concentrating ore. The main lead is seven 1'eeb wide and carries ore similar in char aeler to that of the load from which the ore was taken. In the Celtic groupi owned by Mr. Council there arc four j claims, the Celtic Chief. Celtic Chief! It is scarcely two;months since the Gazette last visited the Kingston and in that brief spell several mile-posts seem to have been passed in leaving the prospect stage behind. This is particularly so with reference to conditions now to be seen on the Metropolitan, which is rro longer a prospect and neither should it be referred to any longer as a "urine in the making." If anyone had ventured the opinion a year ago that twelve months hence there would bo seen, a few yards over across that little gulch, such workings, such ore dumps and such ore faces as are riow to be seen there, and that it would be accomplished in such hard rock with so small a crew of'men and with nothing but hand steel, people would have laughed at hinr, but there it is to-day. From the outside all that is to be seen is two openings arrd three ore dumps. One of these openings is a shaft collar surmounted by only the old fashioned hand wind-lass, no fancy steam hoist nor even a horse whim ; but there below it is a nice big dump of ore which was taken, out in sinking the shaft to a depth of aonie -17 feet and a drift at the bottom of 25 ft. The other opening is a tunnel mouth on the steep hillside away below it. This latter was driven about 100 feet mostly in hard andesite to a point nearly under the bottom of the shaft. The muck from- this makes a- waste dump. Then the ore was encountered ; the tunnel was forked and up-raises from the end of each fork to the shaft above. The result of these workings is a big ore dump alongside the waste dump and in it is considerable ore that will go over $100 per ton. A more pleasing feature still to see is the numerous ore faces from which good pay ore may be mrned, the ore being broken into, apart from that which was moved in making the connection by drifts and rip-raises with the drift and shaft above. Over on the hill-side in a wester ly direction about 100 yards or so, is another shaft collar and another unpretentious hand windlass suggesting the fact that they were going ahead in the same'-matter-of-fact simple way to repeat the former experience. The new embryo shaft is down about 12 feet all in ore, when the men were taken off to follow up a new clew discovered on the Kingston. This new clew is an ore body under- lving an andesite dike that seems to be cutting into the mountain almost at right angles with the dike which was explored last winter. Mr. Pollock is pleased with the indications here aud looks forward to permanence of the ore body, the values of which appear to satisfy him. If this ore body behaves the way he hopes and expects it will, he will in all probability go back later on and direct his work so as to investigate the point of intersection of the lower porphyry dike and this arrdesite sheet. When he does, some hair-lifting values are not at all improbable. We have heard no more concerning the company or it intentions. No matter how the property improves under Mr. Pollock's magic touch, the company remains the same���������that awful inert same. When Chief Engineer Homeland was in town last week, he and Mr. Kennedy took up the matter of location of the station with the representatives of the Hedley Gold Mining Co., and fortunately for the town Mr. Beam stood out for the thing that the town wanted most, which was to have it located as far up towards the Twenty-mile bridge as possible. This of coarse meant heavier grading for the railway company than they cared about undertaking and it also interfered somewhat with their plans for running the spur up to the reduction works, but these were not insuperable difficulties and when Mr. Beam showed them that both the town and the Hedley Gold Mining Co. would prefer it that way I hey agreed. Altogether it was a gracious act on the part of Messrs. Beam and Jones and the town appreciates it, and neither should wo forget the courtesy of Messrs Hogeland and Kennedy in the matter. This; sort of thing beats "working at cross-purposes" all to pieces. Everybody is satisfied and now let us get Lo work to fix up the way to the station as it ought to be fixed, and try to make things look as attractive as possible, so as Lo impress visitors to the town as well as those passing through on the railway, for first impressions count. : SO ENDS THIRD DYNASTY F. A. Ross, late general manager for the Daly Reduction Co. and Yale Mining Co. completed'-his reign on Wednesday last at twelve of the clock, noon, and on Friday morning took his departure. Mr. Ross had been three years'at the helm, and if he were not as popular as he might have been, he had himself to bl-ime for much of it; but there would be no good purpose served by dwelling on any details as to why we believe this to be so. Suffice it to say that he has been ' "allowed his little space to monarchise be feared and kill with looks,"'and is now gone out of our lives and out of our ken. Nevertheless he had many good points which he often showed to those who knew hinr best. /He was a good organizer, had an orderly mind and was an indefatigable fusserwith a penchant for detail, and that is often a very important thing" to have. It was by attention to detail that Wellington licked Napoleon. Mr. R. had mastered the* vocabulary of every -known, calling under- the sun and was in fact, "A creature of so varied parts that he seemed to be Not ono, but all mankind's epitome." Those who may think he was not a capable man are very much mistaken in their estimate. His value will all deperrd upon the line in which he maybe engaged. As head of some manufacturing concern which had been well established arrd effectively equipped it would be difficult to find a better head than he, but mining was not his line and he was apparently not suited to it either by training or disposition. Mining requires the judicious optimism born of a stout tum-tum and reinforced by the necessary training both technical arrd practical. But of all things the saving quantity of optimism must be there. If it is not��������� well, nuff said. So far as Mr. Ross is personally concerned, the Gazette wishes him all success and hopes he may find the particular niche in which his best powers may have full scope. OLD TIMER PASSES AWAY.

C", Oct. loth, 11)09 '13-4 CANADA AND THE POLE NOTICE One of the commendable things', which Bruce, of Saturday Sunset, has been advocating and which the Chief Commissioner of Works appears to regard .favorably is a trunk wagon road through the province clear from the Pacific ocean eastward to Alberta. The pro- project would not be one half so difficult as might appear at first sight for by far the greater portion of it has already been built. All that is required is the connecting up of the route in various places and improving existing portions of it where required. Touring by auto is now a. favorite pastime of the monied class and this they can't do without distributing a certain amount of their wealth in the districts through which they travel. And this although considerable in itself is.of small importance in comparison with the opportunity it would afford them to become acquainted with the country and see the chances offered for profitable investment. To show how-feasible is the task it is only necessary to follow up the route from Hope eastward. There some building would be required in order to get into the Similkameen, but after that is attained there is a long sweep of 200 miles or more of existing road, before another halt is called at Christina Lake. From the Similkameen Valley either the roads through Richter's lower pass or by Fairview might be taken and in a few years hence this would land the tourist in what may then be the very garden of the province around Osoyoos Lake. From there the new road built this year from Osoyoos to connect with rock Mountain roads, would fit in, with tlie alternative route of the old road through Camp McKinney. In tact all would then be clear sailing all the way to Christina Lake when provision would have to be made to get over on to the Arrow Lakes in order to take advantage again of the roads in the Nelson dis trict and on into East Kootenay and through to Alberta. The project would result in giving the province a most valuable 1 ie���������K)i.e asset.

Comma ruler Peary's claim thus is viewed with a good deal of interest here and the Cabinet has been discussing the matter-. ��������� ' As ofteir happens when the Cabinet discusses mutters outside of i hi media te party policies, it has been stirred tip from Great Britain. A Conservative, member of the British House of Commons, the Canadian born Sir Gilbert Parker, risked'a question on the subject ; and the Canadian Government forthwith began to consider. We arc- given to understand that its answer- was a reassertion of the Canadian claim to all land between the northern shore of the continent and the North Pole. It also is given out that the circumstance that'Commander'Peary says that the Polar regions are occupied by a deep ocean relieves the situation, national ownership of course being concerned with land surface. Ten years ago the 'matter- would have been merely of acadenric importance, the Polar regions not being susceptible of exploitatiorr by the. means of travel and transportation then known to mankind. But perhaps the most extraordinary feature of the alleged double discovery of the Pole is that the event has come just as the older methods of exploration are about to become obsolete. We are1 on the threshold of the conquest of the air. We can with perfect sobriety expect, ten years from now, to see the airship and the aeroplane so improved as to make a visit to the pole a matter of ease, and the close exploration of the whole region merely a m'atter of interest and energy.' The Klbhdyke gold fields remind us of the riches which may lie in the inhospitable north ; it is already known that deposits of coal exist under the Arctic ice; so that while it would be absurd to count upon the extraction of riches from the very far North, it would be extraordinarily foolish to assume that the district has no value. The matter is one for arr energetic assertion of the Canadian claim to all the Northern regions. rV *- X K x *������ *i x. X -*" X :X X :X. H >x 'K ;X I *' X *g X * X * X X X X K K K <x. &: X A.

It was facts he .was after with which to cirdgel the7 Rip ;Vim 'Winkles of Vancouver out of their long snooze, and show them what they have been losing and will lose for all time to come if they don't wake up; and of facts it is safe to say that he bagged a tidy supply. Whether it was crawling over big ore boulders irr a mine stopi; or in taking short-cut headers down a steep mountain side, he was ready to follow where led, whenever there was a urine or a "mine in the making" at the end. He had opportunities to converse with all and sundry and to pick up impressions and pointers. The only trouble was that Entertainments that run more than ordinarily' into .the realm of intellectuality are'not as anile* so popular in places of limited population as something irr somewhat lighter '-.vein-.nevertheless,' a fair-sized audince greeted the .entertainers in the Johnson-Mc- Raye performance" on Friday night last- Pauline Johnson has for years past been recognized as a writer of no mean order, anil no collection of Canadian poems is complete without contributions from her pen. At first when she took up' the role of public entertainer and went, on tour, her share of the entertainment was almost wholly made rrp of public recitals of her own poems, but later while still adhering to her own writings she has added to the poems some clever i NONE TOO GOOD character sketches. She prides herself on her Mohawk blood arrd is herself an example of the degree of intellectuality attained by individual members of the Indian race. She disclaims any pretentions to elocutionary skill and yet her through grasp of real poetic sentiment and the natural alertness of her race gives a naturalnes's to whatever gesture she'employs. Mr; McRaye also in his interpretation of the late Dr. Drummond'si quaint poems has been forced to adopt in them a style of elocution unhampered by the rules of forensic technique, and wholly born of a careful study of the habitant himself for he has him down to the life. The. part taken by Mrs. McRaye (nee Miss Lucy Webling) who has been off the stage now for a. number of years owing to ill-health, was somewhat of a minor role, but nevertheless she showed some of her old-time skill in Shakspearian acting when in the little comedy adaptation of Friday night's performance she had to impersonate Ophelia for a few moments. Years ago Miss Webling was a very talented Beatrice and took other Shakspearian characters with marked success.

BUY H Riches of Summit Camp Con tiiiucd fron Pago Ono. Mr. Connell says the first claim staked in Summit camp was in 1S9.1, and ���������by "J. L. Sutter, for Terra Haute, Indiana, syndicate. ��������� A little; later Robert. Stevenson, well-known Si milkameen prospector, made several locations there. Dan Ross, another prospector of that section, at a later time/also put down some stakes in claims there. Mr. Connell was the fourth and took up the Celtic Chief group 11 years ago. Two years since Andy Jensen staked the east extension of the Celtic Chief and has some valuable properties showing ore from the ���������surface The between lime, and porphyry and .are strong, continuous and well defined, running east and west. The owner s of the several groups irr the camp have done considerable work on their properties and there are eight different claims from which shipments can lie made at once, so advanced is their- development, provided transportation was afforded. The surveyed line of the V. V. &���������' E., over the Hope mountains, which are. a 'portion of the Cascade range, is within eight miles of the Summit camp. pThe road will be completed, to Eagle creek, eight miles from Summit camp, within the next year or two, as the Great Northern has promised to build over that route in order to open up the Summit and other mining camps in that vicinity. There, is as large a mineral area as the Slocan to be opened up, and it is considered to be even more valuable than the Slocan as the ore is of a higher grade. Mr. Connell has great faith in the Celtic Chief group and will in a short time return and resume develapment of it. In the Summit camp, half a mile from the silver-lead properties, Mr. Con.nel' also owns a group of copper- gold claims, consisting of the Empress, the Summer Star and the Red Light. The ledges are from S to 9 feet'.wide, as far as developed, and the. ore,in the ledges runs as high as 12 per cent copper with, high gold value's. He intends to give these his attention next year-, as he considers them valuable, in yrew of the coming transportation facilities. We still hold a few lots on the Business Streets which we are offering at the old prices $300 to $450 per lot, and we have good Residential lots in nearly every part of the town at prices ranging from $50 up to $250 per lot. With the railroad rapidly approaching and new mines being opened all around us you cannot expect to buy lots at these prices much longer. -i:V!
