Peh Teak, $2.00 IN CARMI CAMP Rich Strike in the Butcher Boy Shaft GOOD ORE ON JWt CARMI In Ihe Carmi Shaft a Very Rich Pay Shoot Was Struck the Past Week at 125 feet. During the past week development work on the Carmi and Butcher Boy in Carmi camp has uncovered much better ore than had heretofore been taken out of either property. The rich shoot was tapped in the Carmi shaft at a depth of 125 feet. This body of ore is between five and six feet in width. The Carmi is owned by an English syndicate at the bead of which is E. H. Thruston. The mine is situated at the junction of Carmi creek with the West fork of Kettle river, and adjoining the f*wno* Carmi. Last year 900 tone of "" ore was shipped from the mine to the -'' Greenwood smelter. Previous work on the property consisted of open outs for the purpose of tracing the ledge, a tunnel 85 feet, an incline shaft 48 feet, and the shaft on which sinking is now being done.' Two drifts have been run from the 100-foot level in this shaft, »ne west 120 feet and the other east 60 feet. About 17,000 cubic feet of stoping has also been done. The Butcher Boy, owned by Jas. C. Dale and Jas. Kerr, is one of a group of four claims lying west of and located on the Carmi lead. In the past month a shaft haa been sunk on the lead to a depth of 25 feet. The ore body ia between four and five feet wide at that depth, and a^ sample taken from acroas the ledge assayed 170 in gold. Two shifts are working on the property. The shaft will be continued down to the 100-foot level before drifting and stoping is commenced. The strike on the Carmi at the 125-foot level proves the whole group of claims in that camp to be very valuable properties, as the lead runs through all of them. Although the lead had been prospected west of the Carmi through the Butcher Boy, No, 2 Fraction, No. 3 and May by open cuts, the shaft now being sunk on the Butcher Boy is the first attempt at proving the continuance of the lead with depth. So far the work has proved more than satisfactory to the .owners. The lead is gradually widening out and doubtless at the 100-foot level will be as wide as the Carmi at that depth. The values in the Butcher Boy are somewhat higher than those of the Carmi. Dr. Mathison, dentist, Naden-Flood block, Greenwood, B. C. MINING NOTES. A. E. Anderson has just completed assessment work on his claims for the season. He owns the Colbrooke, Colorado Madura and Silent Partner on Cranberry creek, and Jo Jo on Wallace mountain, all promising claims. On the Colbrooke an open cut 20 feet deep and 24 feet long has been made, and frofi! this a tunnel has been run 28 feet. The ledge is galena, 2% feet wide, and two assays from it ran $85 and $124.96. On the Colorado Madura a tunnel has been run 15 feet and also .considerable prospecting on the surface. The Silent Partner is an extension of the Colbrooke. One assessment has been done on it. The Jo Jo lies in a northerly direction from the Mono near Dry creek. Two assessments have been done on the property. Clement Vacher, superintenderiftsff the Sally group on Wallace mountain, left Tuesday last for Central camp in the Boundary country to look after development work on properties owned by his company. From there he goes to Penticton where several assessments have to be done. It will not be decided until the return of Robert Wood from England whether development will be continued on the Sally thia winter. ——— ——• * P. J. Kennedy has completed assessment work on the Extension for Pit- took A. Werner of Greenwood. The Extension lies east of the Washington and Idaho on Wallace mountain. The work done consists of two shafts, 8 and 10 feet, and 20 feet of surface work. The ledge is an iron capping showing some galena. He also uncovered a quarts ledge well mineralised east of where the work haa been done. R. Parry and D. McKay relocated a claim Tuesday last near the King Solomon, from which they brought down some nice specimens of copper ore. The claim was formerly the San Francisco and owned by Greenwood parties. P. J. Kennedy left •Thursday for Greenwood to make arrangements for developing tbe Brack Diamond and Standard during the winter. These claims join the Rambler and both have very ric> leads of silver-gold ore. ON THE BOUNTY Work Will Be Commenced in o Pew Days SINKING ON THE PROPERTY Contract to be Let This Week for Sinking One hundred reel and Crosscutting. > *■'■?• 1 Bfe • ■•y*S ■*<' Andrew Laid law of Greenwood has been successful in interesting Chicago | capital in the Bounty, an adjoining claim to the Rambler on Wallace mountain. Sufficient funds are now at the disposal of the company to lift the bond and develop the property to a shipping stage. Messrs. Laidlaw and v W. T. Smith will be in Beaverdell the the early part of next week to make < final arrangements for the continuous development of the property. It is understood that the Work contemplated at present will be a 100-foot vertical shaft and from that level drifting or crosscutting '\-fcT0j$i£k necessary. ,'^vJ . Considerable work haa already been done on the Bounty, but unfortunately a mistake occurred In driving the tunnel, which, instead of going straight ahead as the ordinary tunnel is expected to do, described the arc of a circle, and if it had not been stopped in its rather erratic course, would have emerged into daylight a few feet from where it started. However this is not an uncommon occurrence in a new mining camp. The same difficulty occurred in a drift of the Winnipeg a few years ago, and had it not been for the failure of the engineer's transit to follow it in a straight line, that drift would probably- still be winding its devious course through the Winnipeg mine. This tendency to curvature in' drift or tunnel was once explained to us by a young mining engineer from the east aa being the result of ground swelling. He waa from Montreal, or Toronto, or Kingston, or St. John, or Halifax, or some other of the mining centers of the mush or fish belt. Incidentally it may be stated that the young mining engineer expressed himself aa astonished at the inartistic display in some of the Greenwood dry goods windows.. * **■*»., *m Dr. Simmons, dentist, Rendell block, Greenwood. vfttft (<•#*** > THE WEST FORK NEW8. •+--L- November 16, 1901. 4.

In 1891 Mr. Templeman waa one of the Liberal nomineea and made a very strong run, getting fully ninety per cent, of the Canadian vote in that city. His acceptance of a portfolio would tend to bring a Urge number of unionist in touch with the Liberals, aa he has been a member of the Typographical union for a number of years and haa always employed only union printers on his paper, the Victoria Daily Times. Senator Templeman would perhaps be out of place associated with Blair, Tart and Sifton, but one hsnest man might accomplish great good even with auch associates. THE WES!

C, NOVEMBER 16,1901 Thl Liberals of British Columbia are endeavoring to get representation in the Dominion cabinet from this province. The names most prominently mentioned are Senator Templeman of Victoria, and Ralph Smith of Nanaimo. Senator Templeman may be termed the father of the Liberal party in B. C, for previous to his taking charge of the Victoria Times the party waa a ragged, beggarly aggregation of soreheads, with neither head, brains nor respectability. Through hia efforts the Liberals of Victoria were organised and with them hundreds of eastern Conservatives residing in that city, who were forced into the Liberal ranks by the arrogance and stupidity of the moss-back element composing the majority of the Conservative association IT is not possible that Ralph Smith, could "conscientiously" accept a portfolio in the Laurier government. Two years ago, in an address before the Dominion Trades and Labor Congress, he waa reported as saying that he "had lost faith in the word or honor of the members of tbe Laurier government." The member for Vancouver constituency would surely not associate with men whom he believed to be untruthful and dishonorable. The following dispatch from Ottawa appeared in Aa number of the coast papers: "The Houseworkers* union (domestic servants' union) have decided to issue a circular to distribute in all the cities of Canada, protesting againat the action of Hon. A. G. Blair, minister of railways, in introducing Chinese servants into his household. The union intends to try and work up an agitation which will arouse public opinion against the innovation and prevent others from following the example set by the minister of railways." This dispatch will be particularly trying to the politicians who have been attempting td form an alliance between the Liberals and Labor Unionists in this province. In fact, a number of railway boosters in the employ of Jim Hill, and other adventurers, have gone s> tfar aa to proclaim themselves " Labor-Liberals, and don't you forget it." This dispatch will, we hope, open the eyes of Labor Unionists to the fact that an alliance with a party which haa always been uncompromisingly opposed to labor uniona ia the heighth of absurdity—sit unholy alliance that can only result disastrously to the cause of labor unionism.

The Francis hotel, Beaverdell, was was opened the past week, and the finishing touches are being put on. Hugh Cropley has commenced development work on the Wellington and Home. take, situated about half a mile from town. H. Parker, formerly superintendent of the Brooklyn and Stem winder in Phoenix camp, will visit the district next week and take samples from *he principal properties. W. H.}Pierre, who had been in charge of the News for a couple of weeks, left Thursday morning for his mine in Mosher camp, where he intends to work on the Leslie during the winter. Ore is being sacked at the Rambler ready for shipment and thewagon road is completed to the river. Regular abipment* will be made to the Greenwood smelter aa soon as there is sufficient snow for sleighing. * Some effort should be made by the townaite people to protect the two colonies of beaver now working within townaite limits. As both these colonies are within half a mile of the town, and it is quite evident from the work done the past three months that they are few in number, it seems a pity that they ahould be trapped or driven away. It is something that few towns on the coutinent can boast of—a beaver colony at work within the townsite limits, and there is no reason why, if left alone, there should not be beavers working for years within five minutes' walk from the center of the-town.. The, one trapped the past week, we understand, was young and the skin worth only about $1.50. For a First Class Meal Call -at the;- Bull Creek Hotel W. McBoyle, Proprietor.
