KDITOHIAL NOTES, Onr neighbors to the south complain, that as a result of a glanders' quarantine on reindeer, which will prevent their crossing tin- International boundary line, a sad! sad!! Christinas will he theirs. Such a state of affairs reminds us that we live in a favored country, und the more is this brought home to us, when we remember that no glanders quarantine will prevent the reindc from crossing the .Arctic circle, or impede the progress of Father Christmas tu our homes. This being the case we lake this opportunity of wishing one and all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR. THE YEAR'S PROGRESS, Now that the year 1807 is within a few days of its close, tlle piesent appears tu lie a suitable time io review tbe ptngress this southern mining district has made dut ing tin* year. Leaving out of consideration the important discoveries made at Eureka, Toroda Creek and olher Reservation points, and, loo, lhe[developinents on Meyers Creek and llie pnrls nf the Okanogan also south of ihe Inteniatiunal hound ary line, there is much to note in tin direction nf substantial and, It is confidently believed, permanent advancement. It will he evident, thai il is not possible to detail, within Ihe limils of this comparatively brief survey of lhe position, all theucliii-veineiiislli.-it have combined to bring Ihe extensive and varied resources of this large mineral hearing area mnre prominently under the notice of lhe oulside world, yet. u sufficiently comprehensive suinuutry may he made twin pact realise thai lhe forward move has In'oii n imu ked and iu n,any respecis a satisfactory one. Today the urgent need of railway communication, as no entirely Indispensable condition to proHiahle development*, is recognised and admllted as it has never been hefore, and this largely as the outcome of Ihe very encouraging insults that have attended the limited amount;of actual mining work that has heen reasonably practicable, And not only is there now lining a definite move made lowards railway construction, Iuu mall facilities have been and an- still hellig increased inure wagon roads made, aiidadefinlte movement tii-ule In wards the provision of .wnter, power, iiiid liglil convenience of puhlic til lilt y True Ihere are several necessary adjuncts to material progress still n wai! iug all enl ion, I he most, pressing heing telegraphic conned inn wilh the huge rommei-i-ia' centres, hul then- is good reason lo lielieve that, this and nther business necessities will he provided during the coining year. All encouraging feature of Hie situation is the fact thai the notice these districts have compelled is nut restricted lo the Province, or even the Do minion, In point of fact parts of them -Boundary Creek foe insl,-nice—were almost entirely uuknown in the larger i cities of the Pruvince, let alone lhe! Dominion, until long after the more enterprising spirit of mining men resilient iii Washington, Montana, and other pails of Ihe United Stales, hud hi! them lo acquire mining ir. (crests here. The Held however is widening, tuc prominent eastern men are now Investing, Brilisli capital is coming in, and even French and German capitalists have hud llmir cepi-i*. senliifivi-s iu ths country endeavoring to secure good mining propeii ics These facts of themselves mark the year as one of progress, Coming now to note what has been done In the individual camps, It may tie stated with confidence thal.dcvelop- inenl.s have generally proved expenditures lo have la-en well warranted. This i.s certainly the case as regards Boutidaiy Creek. Ill Smith's camp Ihe Republic G. M. cuuipany, of .Spokane, during the year'deepened the in.iin shaft uf ils Republic and Last Chance claims each to 100 feat, and extended the Noll Such 'uiinel also lo 100 feel, withsallsfaclncy results, The Boutidaiy Falls G. M. company, of Vancouver sunk a shaft a depth of 80 or 1)0 feet, on the Boundary Falls claim, in quartz all the way and having a strong body of well-mineralised ore under foot where work was temporarily stopped ut I he depth ed, On llu* tioli nnd i. one of a group of six claims lately bonded lor #J5,0U0 by a Brilish Development company, in good financial .standing, a shaft has heen sunk about 70 feet, the indications met wilh being sufficiently good lo induce the giving of the bond. The Ruby, also in Smith's camp, was recently bonded for $111,000 and is now being systematically piospecied. Dead- wood camp has had a lol of work done on il dining the year, the must striking helng Ihe proving of the widlh of the big ledge un tin* Mother Lode, now known lo be IK.") feel wide, and the opening up, at a level deeper I ban the ct ossein t ll innil by UK) feet, of a lacge body uf ore carrying twice as high assay values as those obtained from the oce met with in the tunnel. The $10 000 hondjnu Ihis properly was taken up lliiring Ihe year, as was also that fora like sum on the adjoining Slllisel and Crown Silver, upon which somewhere about. $10,0110 was also expended iu prospecting, chiefly underground, 'the Great Hopes is now being prospected at the 70 font level; the Gold Bug and Hidden Treasure, bought for $1(1,000, arc also being worked; the Herbert Spencer now under a $(),(X)0 bond, lias given promise of later payable results; the Anaconda group, bonded by a English syndicate for a substantial sum, has had a considerable amount of work done on it, and al least three claims of tlle big group owned by tin* Boundary Creek Mining and Milling company, of Greenwood, have proved well worthy of flu ther development.

A few days ago the management at the Minnehaha mine at Cain]) McKinney had the satisfaction of knowing thut their efforts, which had for some time past been directed with a certain object in view viz, that of cross- cutting their ledge uta depth of 120 ft., after having sunk a vertical shaft and drifted from it. had been crowned with success, and that too, even beyond their expectations, for without doubt ns tains can be at present determined, a very line vein of ore, about .8 feel wide, and assaying it is said from $30 to $l!li) to tin* ton, and free milling, has been disclosed. This discovery places the Minnehaha in a fair posilion to rank in the first class aiming the free milling properties of the provinco, und if favorable progress is made in development, undoubtedly it will not lu- long before the merry music, to ti ininers ears, the clanking of another stump mill, will be added to Unit of the (lut'iboo, in the snme neighborhood, FAIKV1KW NOTES.

T^e 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 CREEK CITY. ITS situation is a most favorable one, being at the meeting place of two much used routes ol travel—to Long Lake, Pass Creek and Summit camps, and to Kimbciiy camp, and the main Ketlle 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 Pentiuon. 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
