Some Views on the Similkameen.- -Pro- perties on Upper Keremeos:

- Alex.. Robinson was contributing a write-up of the Similkameen for. the Greenwood Times last week, in which FRUIT the Nickel Plate comes in for a good deal of attention, both eulogistic and censorious, with a few sentences that were evidently intended to be person ally offensive to the management. We have a big stock of •' Crown" Among the criticisms he condemns the conveyance of the ore to Hedley, think Fruit Jars, and are selling them as ing that the stamp mill and other works should have been located up at follows, delivered to any part of the the mine, where a lake 3 miles away was to supply the water. Speaking Valley: of either properties, he says : "Near the Nickel Plate, on the Twen Half gallons $2.50 per doz. ty Mile creek slope, is tlie Kingston group, which was bought for $6o,000, and upon which development work is One quarts $1.75 " u now being carried on. On the Fairy Queen group, recently bonded for a large amount, and in which some Greenwood men are heavily interested. South of these are tlie groups owned by J. J. Marks and Paul Broadhagen. Crown Jars are the Best* South again is the Oregon group, own ed by Hedley men, which gives promise of outdoing the Granby in size^ as much as it deies in value. "The pivotal point of interest of this section, from a mining point of view is Riordan mountain and the district W. T. Shatford & Co. immediately adjacent thereto. Here are situated some of the most promis General Merchants, Hedley. ing claims in the entire Similkaineen country, and it is here that almost daily representatives of mining com panies can be met with sampling the ore that has been exposed by open cuts, shafts and tunnels, with a view of acquiring a bond on some of the properties. - Last week a deal was con summated whereby two groups owned by McKinnon Bros., of Hedley, Mc Cawsten 8 Edmond HAVE Lean, of Keremeos, and other parties, passed into the hands of a mining syn dicate, and several other cleals are pending/which, if satisfactorily con cluded, will make this one of the bus iest mining sections in the province. YOU The ore in most cases is similar to that found in the big mines of the Bound ary. The exceptions are the claims owned by Webster on Fifteen Mile, the Marks and Broadhagen properties PURVEYORS TRIED and the Nickel Plate and Sunnyside, where the ore can be handled by OF stamps and the tailings cyanided." > Of the chances for mining invost- j ALL KINDS LOVE'S men t he says : 2 "There is one error regarding the < Similkaineen which can stand correc OF D tion. It has been reported by irre sponsible persons that no work has (0 been done in the country and that % PERUVIAN prospectors hold their claims for im Fresh Meats possible prices. Both these statements are wrong. The latter especially is an J. ffl utter absurdity, for claims can be se cured there on working bonds that in 0 FISH TONIC ? any other country would command a substantial cash payment. The claim X owners there realize that they have to allow generous terms on bonds in Vegetables order to induce capital to take hold, AND and in no camp in British Columbia are there such liberal tterms given as there are at the present time in the JOHN LOVE, Similkameen. " Hedley itself is growing steadily, Fruit Druggist* (§_> stores and hotels are going up rapidly and it bids fair to be the centre of the Similkameen country.
