During the temporary absence of Mr. W. W. Gililis, Mr. J. Harlan is acting as assayei in Mr. Glhlis' assay office at Greenwood. Mi. Harlan is an old hand at the liusiness. The Midway irrigation ditch is working in first class shape. Next year residents in any part of Midway Hal. wili lie ulile lo count on olitaiuing water for irrigation purposes. In sympathy with the price of wheat pork seems to he in demand at higher figures than last year, and many predict that 5 or 6 cents wili he offered towards winter for good fat. hogs Should such prove to he true, not the proverbial hog, but the farmers will lie in clover. Funds are in hand for the Vernon fall races, and judging by the number of local horses in training the meet should he a good one. The inducement to bring in outside horses wiil not be so great this year, owing to the fact that races will nol he held at Kamloops as usual. Some trouble having arisen over tlie question of water rights at Cascade Cilv, two parties claiming an interest in the power going to waste at the Keltle river falls, Mr. Norris of Vernon, as assistant coininlsloner of Lands and Winks and Mr. Lanibly of Osoyoos us Gold Commissioner for the district, will about lhe iaili insl.

Monaglian, President of Ihe Cariboo Mining Co., passed through Midway on Saturday en route to Camp McKinney. coming in hy the new Kettle river road. Mr. Monnghan slated that the sum of $0000 had been appropriated by the state of Washington for Ihe road now lieing'built from Marcus lo Curlew creek, and lhat the road in consequence would be a good one, Mr. Mnnnf-hnn stall il also thai the new road would bring all freight and passenger traffic for Boundary and upper Kettle river points direcl tc.

The Kelowna Shippers Union company limited, is erecting a very large store or warehouse 111 close proximity lo the wharf at Kelowna, which warehouse will be used for the purpose of storing all kinds of farm produce and yegelniiles. The building is two storeys and nf a size about 40 x 00. The upper portion will lie kept for bay.graln elc, while in the lower portion, which is divided into bins, will he placed potatoes and all other kinds uf garden truck. The building is capable uf holding several car loads of produce, and is made necessary so that plenty of accomodation can be offered for llie grent amount of goods now being handled by Ihis company. The ground is being cleared and Ihe foundation will soon be laid for Ihe new City Hall to be built in Vernon. The huilding will be erected on the corner opposite Ihe Kalamalka Hotel, and from its posilion will be within easy reach of Ihe railway station or ihe business portion of the city.

Elliot, of Fairview returned home un Thursday last. Being such an old timer, and sn intimately connected with the business welfare and advancement of the district in which he resides it is useless to say everyone was more than glad tn welcome Mr. Elliot into their midst again, and mine especially so as they noted 1 he fact that his vacation had proved beneficial lo his health, which was somewhat shall ered as a result, of many years close application to business. During Mr. Elliot's stay in England he was fin-lunate enough to inleresi some friends, and as a result bus brought out wilh him some $15,000 wbich will be expended in developing some claims which he owns iu Oamp Fun view.

Latimer tu Mr, Graven and this associated for lhe sum of $10,00(1, ten per cent of whicli was paid down. As soon as the Iniiul was laken upon the property, work was started, and was carried on under the direcl ion of Mr. Craven. Thedevclopuicnltook theform of a shaft which was sunk on the vtin close lo the hanging wall. This was carried down until a depth of about 65 feet was reached, when water came in so rapidly I he work had lo be abandoned and olher means of developing the property resorted to. This was done, and as a result a contract was given to Mi. Lalimer lo drive a 160 foot tunnel to tup the vein. Of Ihis wnik about 50 feel has been driven, thereby leaving 110 feet still to lie run, which when completed, will tap the ore body at a dept h from the apex of the vein of about 100 feet, Tlie vein 10 be lapped by this tunnel Is one of quartz, aboul 4 feet wide, wilh a fool paystreuk nearest the hanging wall, which is said to carry very high gold values. Tlie completion of this work and lhe result will Iherefore be anxiously look forward to by ihose inter* est ed, as shuuld the mine withstand the present test much more development will he given the property.

A." ie a vein about 20 inches wide, with a pay-streak of 4 to 12 inches) from this 8,053 lbs. of ore was shipped to the smelter, giving $103.15 gold per Ion, silver 74 7-10 ozs., and 2 per cent. lead. A tunnel is being driven on this vein from which ore is being taken, On the same property is a larger vein (quartz) carrying galena and pyrites. The "G. A. R." has a 80-foot shaft sunk on a 2-foot vein, lieayily mineralized wilh an intimate mixture of iron and copper pyrites, galena, blende and silverglance. Theflnest pieeesofwiresil- verfound oiiBoundaryCreek were taken from Ihis shaft. Aveiage assays from different places across the vein gave $8.00 gold, 50 (rat. silver; also $8.00 gold and 150 ozs. silvei* and one, the latest -return—$15.05 gold and 100 -1-5 ozs. silver per ton. On the "Big Ledge" is a 10-foot, quarlz vein, mineralized with iron pyrites, This vein has been opened up by cross-cuts on the surface for 500 feet. A narrower vein lias been opened up, being one foot wide, carrying considerable copper pyrites, and runs inlo lhe main ledge mi a spur, on which a tunnel of 40 feel lias been driven. Average assays gave $33 gold and 11-10 ozs. silver, and $40.35 gold, 17J ats. silver, 2 per cent, copper. The "8, F." lies lei weed the O. A. R, and D. A., in the direct Ion of the strike on the G. A, R, vein. This location has een made on a vein of pyrrhotite. The "O. B." hits two distinct veins - one 25 feet wide whieh, from its strike and general'character] would seem to be the same vein as that on the Big Ledge, all bough sufficient has not been done to make this conclusive. The second vein has at. present a width of nearly three feet. Assays have shown values in gold from $4.00 to $170.53, while a conservative sampling by Mr. S. S. Fowler, JI. E. gaye $20.00 in gold. On lhe "ti. II. B." are two converging veins of copper and iron.Jpyriles, on which work is now being done. An average assay gave, gold $1.50, silver 1(1} ozs., copper 11,110 per eenl., or $10.44 for all values. The "Fred D." ivnsJ:loi-aled;'in De ceinlier, 1885, more as ground for a luisis for mining operatinns for the oilier claims than for its present value, although I here* is liltle doubt that the large vein im* lhe O. ti. riinsj through it. There is a small vein of galena on Ihis claim. The "J. A. C." lias a large Iron- capping running Ihruugh it from the Anaconda, at a depth of a few feet, lhe ore carries a considerable percent age of of copper and $10 in gold, The remaining six claims are all good prospects, but as yel. very liltle development work has been dune on hem. ^ % This company is registred under the Companies Act, 1890, and amending acts, in the office of the Registrar in Victoria, II 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 appli cation to the company. S^ia&EgW % %. 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 CREEK CITY. ITS situation is a most favorable one, being at the meeting place of two much used routes o travel to Long Lake, Pass Creek and Summit camps, and to Kimberly camp, ancl 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 CONPANY, LTD GREENWOOD CITY, B. C. fm
