D. 1907. 40-10 Last week a fruit grower refused to sell his improved fruit lot for $600 an acre. Mr. Huntsinger is V. V. & E. station agent in place of Mr. McDaniel. Mrs. Huntsinger and child are also here. E. Quinton has purchased 22 acres from the Beautiful Valley Land Co. He returned to England and will he back next spring. W. H. Armstrong, president of the Keremeos Land Co., and his wife were in town for five days. They, went east by Sunday's express. Mr. Rome, manager of the E. T. Bank, is here, and his assistant will he on hand this week. The bank will open when the safe arriv.es. The Fruit Growers' Exchange has leased part of their warehouse to E. B. Nerning for a feed store. He is now unloading twei cars of grain. Lawyer Wilson, of Winnipeg, who has been visiting with his brothers here for several weeks, left for Vancouver by V. V. & E. express train on Tuesday. Mrs. anel Miss Lenve* returned from Victoria by V.V. He E. on Wednesday. After the damp atmosphere of the coast they will enjoy the bright sunshine of the Similkaineen. The Keremeos post office, at the old town, eloseel on Tuesday, October 15th, and Keremeos Station post office will be opened em the following day at the new town. E. D. Fargo, who-for several years was accountant for the Cariboo Consolidated Mining Ce>. at Lafontaine, near Barkerville, was in Keremeos on Saturday. W. H. Armstrong was over the big ditch and found that the work Avas making satisfactory progress. Five more teams will be added to the present force. Kere'ini'os occupies a high place in the prize list of the Westminster Fair. Frank Richter, with a comparatively small number of exhibits, captured 23 prizes. Next year more of our fruit growers slieiulel have an interest- in making up exhibits. Mr. Alniepiisf, of the* lumber firm of Alinquist-<.v. Cudworth, was in town on Moiidny; Oe-t. 7th, and completed arrangements to start a lumber yard, with D. J. Iniiis in charge of it. After this week all kinds of lumber will be in the yard. Rev. J. Thin-burn Conn expressed a wish .last week to pay a visit te> the Nickel'Plate mine, and the Gazette arranged te) accompany him on;the trip.* The distance from Hedley to the Nickel Plate inine is about 1J miles -horizontally ,. and -nearly.,'. a7 mile vertically. The greater part of the'distance- vertically is made cm the gravity tramway. Occasionally some who contemplate making the trip.are apt to pause when they view the steep incline and the uninviting vehicle upon which it is to be made. But the preacher was game, and when the start was made there was seen the unique spectacle of a western editor piloting a sky-pilo't' skyward. The experience was a rare. one fen- Mr., Conn, who is an ardent lover eif nature, but who never saw it before on so grand a. scale, and he was ready to admit that his native hills in bonnie Scotland were only knolls in comparison with the. sea of-mountains spread out before him and stretching away on all sides, butfringe;doff in the west with the jagged peaks of the Hope range, having no more system nor regularity than the teeth of an old comb. These taught in the form of an object lesson the meaning of. the word \"Sierra,\" that we all, like Mr. Conn, conned over in boyhood in the pages of the geography text-books with but little conception of what the real thing woulei leiok like. The Nickel Plate, had a special interest for Mr. Conn, it being the first gold mine he had seen, and for the Gazette its principal interest was in the manner in which the mine had been opened up, with the systematic course of development that had been pursued since our last visit. By the kindness of Mr. G. P. Jones, the superintendent, we wore shown through the underground workings of the Nickel Plate by foreman J. McKinnon, \\vhe> is one of the oldest miners in the Nickel Plate and has seen the mine develop from its earlier stages to its present condition, when a large tonnage could be extracted from the many faces and stopes now exposed for attack by the miners. Wonderful as the development of the Nickel Plate itself has been, the workings of the Sunnysides and the splendid way in which the ore bodies are opening up is more so. The feature which seemed to impress itself most upon one is the almost total absence of anything in the shape of waste dumps, especially around the Sunnvsides. There is to be seen the huge glory hole* anel the long inclines from the bottom of it, but no waste dump of either country rock or barren ore, for enormous as the excavation has been it has all gone down by the electric trains to the ore bins, and thence by the gravity train to Hedley, where the stamps, vanners and cyanide vats have had their turn at it- before the sluice launders have discharged the residue, of slimes into the settling ponds and sands to the tender mercies eif Twenty-mile creek and the Similkaineen river. Two new glory holes are also opening up between the Sunnysides and the Nickel Plate, the ore from both of which is delivered direct to the-electric tramway, although a railway spur is now being put in to run the train into one of them. There is an air of neatness about the works up em the hill as well as around the mill at Hedley, and altogether it is an ideal property to work in. One thing noticeable, however, was that the numerous dwellings that were formerly occupied by miners' families are now mostly empty. Different managers have different ideas about this. Some prefer married men; others bank on single men, and at present the bachelor appears to have the call. The (Greenwood Ledge,) ��������� In reference to the location of a site for the bridge across the Kettle river near Bock Creek',---the .residents of Greenwood electoral -. district should have nothing to say. The bridge is being built out of the appropriation for the 'Similkameen riding. It would be just as reasonable for the people of Feu-nie riding to ask the people of the Siimlkaineeri to build, a bridge across the Elk river. Because Mr. Nad en e>r his followers promised a bridge at the Riverside hotel does not impose an obligation on Mty Shatford te> build it there..; Mr. Shatford is fulfilling bis .promise to his constituents; Mr. Naden is in.the:north looking after his own interests. Mr. Shatford is a resident of the Similkameen, and is personally interested in the prosperity of the district; Mr. Naden is not -a resident of Greenwood district, and is interested only, in drawing his salary as a mem- Iter of the legislature. The bridge is now being built,'and will prove a great convenience to the people of both districts. We in Greenwood riding have no right to dictate to the people of the Similkameen as to how orwhere their appropriation.shall.be' expended. SHAUGHNESSY AND THE M. &V One Object of the Visit of the President of ���������> the C. P. R. Is to Look Into M. & V., Scheme. FAIRVIEW NOTES. The public school will likely re-open in a-few weeks. Sherman Haynes, of Mielway was in town on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Rippin of Park Ranch were in town on Saturday. Mr. Rip- pin says that his fruit trees are in fine condition. The Rev. Mr. Gamer-em held an a. in. service here on Sunday. He walked from Keremeos on Saturday, and did not plead weariness. On Tuesday, the 22nd inst., a trial between two residents of the lower Similkameen will draw many witnesses and a hot wave to Fairview. Mr. Putinan Jr. a mile west of the Stemwinder is recovering from a severe attack of fever. He is one of the late arrivals from the United States. Dr. Elwood Meade, of Washington, D. C, spent part of two days here last week. He was accompanied by F. H. Latimer and Messrs. L. W. and W. T. Shatford. If the C. P. R. will continue to dally much longer with our railroad propo- sition, the Great Northern branch from Oroville to Penticton may be built. Then the C. P. R. would move heaven and earth to prevent such an outrage. Three fine blankets were taken from a clothes line here last week, and later two of them were found badly cut up. A man guilty of such conduct is too low iu the scale of moral degradation to receive any further notice. Free lodgings would be in order. Edward .Tames, an old prospector, was taken from Rock Creek to Fair- view by Harry Brown. At Camp McKinney Mr. Brown hael to call on Hugh Megraw to assist him. Mr. James' mental powers gave way about two weeks ago owing to physical weakness. After an examination here by Dr. White, he was taken by Constable Tooth to Penticton. Messrs Megraw and Brown returned East on Sunelay The visit of SirThrimas Shaughnessy of the C. P...R. to the. west is always .-in event of interest, but when the announcement is made that em this occasion lie will examine in to .the feasibility' of taking over thcdiarter of the Midway '& Vernon- and building the road, it takes on special intere^st te> those dwelling in several localities in south-, ern Yale. About a month ago, representatives of ail English syndicate were on the ground investigating the scheme, and one representative, W. E. Morris, i.s still in Vernon collecting -information' and awaiting the decision of his principals, whe>, if they take the charter over, will build the line and lease it- either to the C. P. R. or the Great, Northern to operate; but from-'the, fiict that a- C. P. R. engineer accompanied the examining party it would look as if they weiukl have the preference. ������������������If the'building eif the road is left to the C.P.Ri it is very doubtful whether' they would build more tiian a portion; of it, and the portion left unbuilt by them would be that lying between Vernon iiiid the-ihouth eif Wilkinson ; creek on the West Fork of Kettle river. Rumors have been current in Midway for several weeks that the C.P.R. would resume building west of Midway in a few weeks and that they-.\" would., use the Mielway & Vernon^ grae:le^be- tween there and Rock Creek. There are at present two desirable ends for the C. P. R. to obtain in the region immediately west of Midway. One is to tap the West Fork and the other is to connect up between Midway and Nicola. These two ends could both be secured in the building of one piece of road, and that would be to build the Midway se interests would be served only by the construction of the entire road from Midway through to Vernon over the divide between the head-waters of the West. Fork and Mission creek. Meanwhile, Sir Thomas is out here with some grips in one of which is said tei be his thinking cap, and by and by we shall see what we shall see. BLOODSHED ON ALASKA RY. Reported That Six Railway Surveyors Had Been Shot. management have allowed the men to take up their quarters in the cottages, but only in a few instances has this been taken advantage of, the most of the miners preferring to stay with the bunk-house. Superintendent Jones has been able to retain a good class of miners. Comfortable shower baths eif hot and cold water have recently been provided for the men, and in the dining room good wholesome me.-ils are. put up. This possibly helps to account for the fact that in going throue-h the stopes the candle light often reveals the familiar faces of old reliables who can always be counted on for an honest day's work, and who know when they get a square deal. This after all is the true basis of permanent good-will between labor and capital. People of this district are particularly interested in the railway-building war at present going on in Alaska. Much of this interest arises from the fact that Mr. M. K. Rodgers, formerly of this place, is concerned in the struggle, he having the oversight of build- of the Copper River and Northwestern railway for the Guggenheinis. Last week a report which has the appearance of being more or less sensational appeared in some of the coast papers, in which it was stated that a party of Guggenheim men, under a deputy-marshall named Ed. Hussy, had fired on a party of railway suryey- ers for a rival company and killed one man, wounding five others so seriously that three of them were expected to die. The story geies that Hussey hael his men in ambush and ordered the surveyors of the other road to steip work. They, thinking it was only a bluff, paid no attention to the order, but went on with their work when a fusilade of bullets brought six men down, with he result above stated. The affair, if accurately reported, looks like very bad work, but very few in Hedley will be disposed to believe that- M. K. Sodgers who was always a strong upholder o������ law and 'order in this country would countenance any violence eif that kind. Of course* in a. country where the civil power is toei weak and too rotten to give adequate protection to life and property a man might be forced to follow the ways of the country and take steps to protect his own. If this was a case of that kind, the Guggenhiems were certainly up against a piece of hard luck in getting hold of such a fool as this man Hussey proved himself to be.

WE HONOR HIM BY PROXY Although we. in the. interior of the -..-..province hael not the privilege of meet- , ing.Rudyard Kipling, it was pleasing to note that the coaste-ities rose to the occasion anel exte-nded a fitting welcome'to Britain's great \"bard of empire\"���������the most iniperial-niinded man in modern British letters. If ever an institution demonstrated its usefulness it is the Canadian Club which is now represented in all the larger centi-es of population in each province; and in no instance has its hospitality been more deservedly extended than in entertaining this poet eif the people. This incident (or rather se.iies eif incidents foretell appea.lance eif Kipling at a Canadian Club gathering in his honor during his journey ae;ross the broad dominion) stands euit as distinctly illustrative of a feature that was already well illustrated in his writings, anel that is the many-sidedness of the man. Those of us who have deeply admired him for twenty- years see in these speeches of his be- fen-e the Canadian Clubs of Winnipeg, Vancouver and Victoria, fresh cause feu admiration and delight, for we find him in a new role which is that of the public speaker who, when he speaks, speaks as he writes, and that is with a fresh message for the people. We of the backwoods, living year- after ye������ai as pioneers em the* outposts of empire, looked em him as a poet distinctly our own : but we are not jealous that they of the eli-awing- ��������� rooms and the e-lubs have had the. honeii- of meeting, entertaining and being entertained by him. We still believe that from his works we know him better than they do, for he has pictured se:e*nes anel expressed the thoughts and aspirations peculiar'tei our eiwn lives, of which they of the drawing-rooms can understand but little. To the backwoodsman Kipling's poems and stories,, like his banjo in the semg, could say \"1 travel with the cooking-pots and pails. I'm sandwiched 'twocn the coffee and the pork.\" Many of his profe-ssed society admirers do so because it is considered gooel form and fashionable. To them his rise into world-wide literary fame has been liieteeu-ic. They didn't know eif him until the full tide of his fame caught them up and boie them along. Like thei.se in holy writ eif whom it was said \"Mot all who say Lord, Lord,\" so of these superficial admirers who METEOROLOGICAL.

Thus one by one the old-timers are falling by the way, and among them were; few better than Edward James whose unassuming manner and retiring but kindly disposition, added to a sturdy manliness and high regard for honor, won for him the respect of all.

Evans ��������� Physical Features and Geology , on Route to. - West Fork. . ��������� | In the latter part of January of the ; present year 1 made a trip down the j Similkameen Valley. The points of j interest touched were from the vicin- j ity of Hedley City to Keremeos,thenee to Fairview and Osoyoos Lake, up j Anarchist mountain, and thence to j Rock Creek, distance about 50-miles, j The West Fork'of Kettle River was i then ascended to the Sallie mine,'a I distance of 'iS miles, making a total of !Ki niiies. In addition to the interesting solid geology of most of the route traversed is that a portion of it over the international'zone is already intersected by the V., V. &.E. branch of the Great Northern. The road, from Fairview and Osoyoos Lake passes through a country which for years has been recognized, as one of the largest and best cattle ranges in the province. This applies especially to much of the country nearer Fairview and on. the Okanagan side of the divide. Large bands of cattle were seen in fenced fields in the shelter of bushes and trees where, notwithstanding the snow, the grass was still available. Okanogan Valley is the lowest point, on the international boundary ���������between the Red River of the north and the Pacific coast. According to some observers Lake Osoyoos, which. is merely an expansion of the Okanogan River, has an elevation, of 913, 92S and 1,000 feet above sea level. Bauerman gives 928 feet and Dawson about 1,000 feet. The valley of the Okanogan is deeper than the Columbia itself at the international boundary. The mountains possess considerable relief and south of the Big Bend of the Columbia they reach an elevation of 4,500 feet. On the western side of Lake Osoyoos a great change was noticed in the character of the rocks seen. The prevailing type noticed was a very coarsely laminated gneiss filled with crystals of feldspar. The dip of the gneiss is about 25 degs. N. W. About a mile farther eastward, about 1,000 feet above the lake, it changed to 15 degs. in an easterly, direction. This series has been correlated with the Shusnap series of Dawson. The slope for nearly the whole distance from Osoyoos is covered with fine gravel and eolian sand. On the eastern side on the Rock creek slope black slates with thin bands of conglomerates are occasionally exposed but over much of the surface they are concealed, but a few hard porphyry dikes are seen penetrating through the superficial covering. I subsequently ascertained that at Rock Creek the Colville trail strikes the main Kettle. This river follows a very tortuous course, crossing the international boundary three times and finally emptying into the Columbia about two miles to the north of Old Fort Colville. The area is remarkable for the extreme character of the rock altera- ��������� tions, as well as for the unusual abundance of porphyry dikes, greenstone and syenites which intersect the slates and gneisses throughout this portion of the valley. In the Rock Creek gorge the black slates are exposed in steep cliffs with a S. W. dip. Farther to the eastward some thin slaty and irregular limestone bands are associated with them. These have an east dip of 4 to 5 degrees. In the Rock Creek district the impression with regard to the geology of the country that is conveyed by a superficial examination is, that it is equally divided between intrusions and interstratification. The West Fork of the Kettle river begins its northward course near the old town of Rock Creek, and the distance to the Sallie mine is less than 38 miles. On leaving the Rock Creek depression and ascending the West Fork of Kettle, after a few miles are overcome, a marked change occurs in the rocks. Intrusives occur as syenitic granite, rather of a whitish gray, though at intervals some fine grained bio- tites were noted in passing. West Fork is known as a \"big country.\" It lies between the Arrow Lake- Kootenay River system on the east and the Okanogan water system on the west. A good wagon road extends all the way up from Rock Creek to Carmi, J And Will Make Money . is the supply point for the Nickel Plate ���������.mountain, on which is situated the famous \"Nickel Plate\"���������the richest gold mine in Canada���������and many other promising-mines and prospects. It is the mining and business centre of the. , the new mining district which has already been proven, by small amquntof development avoi-Ic, to be one of the richest- gold, copper and coal niining sections of British Coluntto. HEDLEY is the chief town on the route of tho. proposed Coast-Kootenay Railway ; and'with the advent of this i-oucl, .which is assured-in the near future, it will unquestionably become a large and important city, and town lots will bring big returns on money invested at the present time. ma*msifflimtwmpH>ww'>lwp*t Purchase.a few.lots..Mere the Hallway Comes For F^ull Particulars, TVlaps E������tc, -APPLY TO- and flanager, isite HEDLEY, B.C. which is six miles above Wallace Mountain. The first ten miles of the road runs through a country that is heavily timbered, especially with a good class of yellow pine, though other varieties are plentiful. At the end of ten miles a settlement was reached which has the name of Westbridge. It is half town and half mining camp, and is the center for that neighborhood of the lumber industry, which appears to be prospering. A remarkable feature of the timber is that while it is not very large in growth it ascends to a great height, sometimes showing from 60 to 75 feet, without a.branch. NOTICE.
