EDITORIAL NOTES, As in the near future a t rganiz- at ion of lhe mail service for this dis trict will be neeessni-y, lhe Postal authorises will do well to consider lhe advisability of making provision for a connecting service hetween ilu* two lines nf communication over the different routei from Pentlclon to Oro, and Penticlnn lu Grand Forks, so that Fairview uiny In* brought inlo closer touch wiih the Boundary Creek seel ion of the disirici, At present all mails coming froui Fairview to Boundary Creek, are carried around by way of Penticton, whereas could lbe two lines be connected by iishort service extending over only three nr fuur miles, a direcl, communication wuuld be eslalilisbed helween ihes* growing centers uf mining acl i * ity, n si al e uf affairs which we willingly intimate tu the deparlineiil, would he greatly appreciated by those who so much desire a rapid interchange uf correspondence. Recently we made mention of the necessity that existed for Ihe removal of IheGuverniueiit.ollii-est'ruin Osovoos to Fuirview. Recognizing the fact Hint some liinc must elapse before ihis can be consummated, however, that is as far as ihe erection nf the buildings is concerned, as this must depend upon a monetary provision being made at Ihc next, silling of Hie provincial legislature, we wuuld suggest that if llie whole of ihc Government stuff i-nnnni be accommodated ul, Fairview ai present, at least the Recorder could llml room there, and by being stationed al a more central posilion, relieve lhe necessity that now compels llu* many, having business lodo in his ilcpuii- iiii-nl, from traveling so many uiiles out of iheir way, lu carry onlbe same. Il would he well Iherefore for the government lo lake Ihis into cousldei- atiuii fur existing conditions entail much loss of time, uml also a great expense, upun a class who, as a rule, are little able to afford either. Although working quietly, nevertheless, D. C, Corbin is pushing ahead his railway surveys, ami is preparing ta make demands upon both ihe Pio- vincial and Dominion Governments, At present a survey of the Kellle liver loop is being made, lhe engineers working near Cascade Olty, It was always Mr. Cut-bill's idea in make the Ketlle river valley the main iirteiy of travel as it were, and therefore, thai Ilis engineers are nun in Hr-Held between Cascade Oily it nil Carson, would tend to show, Ihul be sliil clings In:be hope of being alilu to secure n franchise, which would allow him to cross Ihe Iulertiullonal buuutlary line at Cascade Cily, and hy traversing Hint porlion uf Ketlle tlvei which is known us Grand Prairie gain a point at which au easy re-entry lulu lhe Colville reserval Iiiii could be made, thereby obviating the necessity of crossing uver one or mure ranges of hills, which he would I hliged t.odo, should In- becoiupelletl lo exieiul his railway system westward « an ne being allowed the privilege of coloring Canadian Territory, •**» The Coming Mining Centre.

P. McLeod, our resident barrister, has moved inlo new, more commodious, and iniiri' comfortable quarters, At. present bis office is situated opposite lhat of the Townsite coinpaiiy. About a month ago a telegram was sent from Vancouver lo a party in Midway. So far it has not reached its destination. Mure recently, on the Kith inst,, another was sent, which arrived here on the 28rd, There is something wrong somewhere, when ii takes a lelegiam 7 days to travel so ehort- a distance, even if it has to come part way in the mails, Miss Thorn ber has been too III during Ihe pust fortnight to attend to her duties ns teacher at, the Gieemvood public school, consequently the school had lo be closed temporarily. It is expected though that she will he sufficiently recovered to admit of the school being re-opened this week. A bad cold and a severe neuralgic affection were I be causes i.f her being compelled to keep to her room for the time. Miss McKen/.te, our public school teacher, is meeting with much success in a canvass for subscriptions In a fund to provide a Christmas Tree for the little ones of Midway and neighborhood. Although lhe Imvu has not as yel. been tbonnmbly canvassed u sum approaching $75 bus been subscribed.

A tunnel is being driven nn this vein from which ore. is being taken, On the same property is a larger vein (quartz) carrying galena and pyrites. The "G.

On the "Dig Ledge" is a 10-foot quurlz vein, mineralized with iron pyrites. This vein hus been upencil up hy cross-cuts on the surface fur 600 feet. A narrower vein bus been opened up, being line font wide, currying considerable copper pyrites, and runs into the main ledge ns a spur, un which a tunnel uf 40 feet has been driven. Average assays gave $33 gold and 11-10 ozs. silver, und $40,36 guld' 17i nzs. silver, 2 per eent. cupper. The "S. F." lies l-etweed lhe G. A. H. und D,A,,in the direction of the strike nn lhe G.

The remaining six claims ure all gond prospects, but us yel. very liltle development work has been done on thein. r % This company is registered under the Companies Act, 1890, and amending acts, in the office of the Registrar in Victoria, B. C, for 1,500,000 shares at $1.00, non- assessable, of which a portion of the Treasury stocK is now offered at 10 cents a share on application to the company. k NOW IS THE TIME To get in on the ground floor. The company having recently purchased the McDonnell ranch of about 560 acres, adjoining its mineral claims, now possesses unusual facilities for carrying on mining operations on a large scale. This purchase has secured to the Company excellent mill and smelter sites; abundant water power for mining, electric light, domestic and other purposes, and other desirable advantages. Forty acres of this land, very conveniently and centrally situated at the junction of Eholt Creek and Boundary Creek, have been surveyed into town lots, and the new townsite has been named. BOUNDARY GREEK CITY. ITS situation is a most favorable one, being at the meeting place of two much used routes of travel—to Long Lake, Pass Creek and Summit camps, and to Kimberly camp, and the main Kettle River respectively. It is also the only known practicable railway pass from the east, so will be nigh on the line of the new railway from the Columbia River to Penticton. Building has already commenced on the new townsite, which offers particular inducement for both business and residence purposes. There are now good openings for several kinds of businesses and the company will give exery encouragement to business men establishing themselves at this point. Prices of lots are within the reach of all, and buyers building on them will be liberally dealt with. Full particulars of both mineral claims and town lots will be given upon application to the BOUNDARY CREEK MINING AND MILLING COMPANY, LTD GREENWOOD CITY B, C
