THE CASCADE RECORD Published In the Interests of the Boundary and Christina Lake Mining Districts Vol. I. CASCADE, B. C, OCTOBER ax, 1899. No. 50. START ANOTHER BRANCH B. C Syndicate Opening on North Fork of Kettle River. HEADQUARTERS REMAIN AT CASCADE New Store ii Located 10 Miles Above Orand Forks, and ii Surrounded by Many Promising Mines. The British Columbia Mercantile and Mining Syndicate, Ltd., of this town, has, we learn, just taken another important step in the direction of increased trade, having bought out the building, stock, land and good will of the firm of Arthur S. Williamson & Co., at Eagle City, on the North Fork of the Kettle river. The Syndicate already has several carloads of goods en route for distribution. From what we know of this firm the miners and prospectors in the locality will have every reason to be thankful for its advent. At the same time we can congratulate the Syndicate on its most excellent choice of a location for a branch, right among so many undoubtedly excellent-mining properties. In response to a rumor that the Syndicate would leave Cascade, the manager of the Record saw Mr. Mayall, one of the local managers, und he replied: " Nothing of the kind ; ours was the fifth building up in Cascade. There have been one hundred and fifty built since, and we have done an exceptionally good business from the start. We are here to stay. Cascade will remain our headquarters and be a central point from which to work our Gladstone, Christina Lake and Eagle City branches. We shall, however, probably find it convenient to keep bank accounts in Grand Forks, and shall undoubtedly advertise freely there as well as here, " What made us select Eagle City in particular ? Ten reasons���ten good ones, too���which I don't intend mentioning and an old bucket." " What has the bucket to do with it ? It was hanging outside a i��unk house wall and cost the mine owners six bits ; we sell the same kind for four, and intend giving the North Fork property owners $15,000 worth of stock to buy from at the name rates." The Record man asked Mr. May- all if it were not true that the Syndicate was shortly to be considerably developed. " Exactly; in the spring or summer of next year it is likely that our firm will have $250,000 for use in the mercantile and mining business in this section of British Columbia. Whether we shall employ that sum in competition with existing commercial houses or in endeavors to amalgamate vari ous firms of good repute,, will rest with others. " There are about fifteen mem bers of the Syndicate. The directors consist of Mr. Lynch, a retired manufacturer of great wealth and experience; Mr. Upton, chairman of directors of the great London firm of Charles Baker & Co.; Mr. Joseph Asprey, a well-known London solicitor, and Mr. Edgar P. Rathbone, late mining inspector for the Transvaal and probably one of the most experienced and reliable mining experts living. The local managers consist of Mr. Thos. F. Carden, formerly of Johannesburg, assayer, who was for many years acting in a similar capacity for the Bank of Africa ; Mr. Paul Rochussen and Frank Asprey, who have conducted mercantile businesses at Melbourne, Australia, and London, England, and myself. " Where do I come from ? Everywhere, mostly, but started in Lancashire, England, and was between whiles ten years partner in the firm of Mayall Bros., merchants and brokers, Liverpool, where I still have business interests, and of the firm of John Mayall, Ltd., Moss- ley, the dreariest, dirtiest, dampest town in the universe, where we employ 3,000 operatives and enjoy the very doubtful privilege of owning the largest cotton spinning plant in the world, and some times (when trade is good) make almost two and a half per cent, profit. " Luckily the margin iB wider in British Columbia, and our Syndicate considers itself well qualified, either financially, constitutionally or commercially, to secure for itself and shareholders most satisfactory results. " We shall probably have the store fully stocked in a few days and open under the management of Charles Palmer and James Ellis by the 1st of November." Crushed by His Own Wagon. John C. M. Davis, a freighter, hauling lumber to Phoenix, was run over and killed by his own team near Phoenix, last Friday week. D. J. Matheson had the remains removed to Phoenix and prepared for burial. When found the body was lying face upwards with one of the wheels of the wagon, loaded with 1500 feet of green lumber, lying on his chest. Davis was 65 years of age, and has a daughter at school in Washington. Mr. Davis was well known in Cascade, having made his home here last winter. He was better known as " Seven-up Davis." Thanksgiving Social. Thursday evening a Thanksgiving social was held at the residence of Donald McLeod on Third avenue. It was the occasion of the regular meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society and a general invitation brought out a goodly delegation of both genders. Games and social intercourse were indulged in until a late hour and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. The treasury was also enriched hy the sum of $9. The Boundary Creek Telephone Co. is putting in an exchunge at Midway. It is already operating at Phoenix and Greenwood. BIG MOTHER LODE STRIKE Average Assays Return Values of $i in Gold. LEDGE IS FULLY NINE FEET ACROSS Burnt Basin Properties Are Looking Well Under Steady Development ������ New Trails Make Claims More Accessible. The strike made several days ago on the mother lode in Burnt Basin, is proving to be a moat important one. Mr. Forrest, of Gladstone, came down from that town yesterday and says that everyone in that section is feeling good over recent developments, and the returns from the assays on the Mother Lode strike have made their faith even stronger. The ore body struck in the drift of the Mother Lode is over nine feet wide. Careful average assays give returns of $56 in gold. Much higher assays have been secured from picked specimens, as high, in fact as $1,000, but the above is a fair average. Over 100 feet of work has been done on the claim. At first a shaft was sunk some30 feet; then from this an incline was put down perhaps 50 feet further, when drifting to catch the ledge was started. This drift reached the rich ore in about 40 <��r 501eet. R. H. H. Alexander, the manager, as well as others interested, are highly elated at the present outlook. There is no let-up in the development that has heen carried on all summer on a number of promising properties around Gladstone. The John Bull tunnel gets deeper each week and now is in about 135 feet. It is expected that the ledge will be struck in the course of a couple of weeks. The No. 3 tunnel on the Mystery is also progressing favorably, and there is every indication that the ore body will he reached in these workings as well as the others. Wherever systematic work has been done, the results have been exceedingly satisfactory. Mr. Forrest has a force of men at work on the new trail being built into the Basin from Gladstone, Jim Cameron being in charge of the work. It is being constructed on a wagon road grade, and will he of great utility to those operating in the Burnt Basin. The government trail up Sutherland creek has been completed by Mr. Forrest also. It is nearly four miles long and runs on easy grades to the Elmore and other promising claims at the head of Baker and Sutherland creeks. It will greatly assist in the development of Shamrock mountain properties.' J. W. Bengough, the famous lecturer and cartoonist, will give one of his splendid entertainments in Cascade on Wednesday evening, November 8th. Everybody should see and hear him, and heartily enjoy themselves. IN AND AROUND CASCADE. Rev. Jas. McCoy will visit tho tunnel camps next week. Last Thursday being Dominion Thanksgiving day was celebrated in Cascade by the closing of all the banks, public offices and jobbing concerns. Timothy Foley, Peter Larson and J. W. Stewart, members of the firm of Mann, Foley Bros. & Larson, went to Rossland Thursday, and thence to Spokane. Mrs. B. W. Wilcox, of Spokane, arrived in Cascade this week and will make her home here. Mr. Wilcox is connected with the Cascade Water, Power & Light Co. A special meeting of the Board of License Commissioners for Boundary Creek District, will be held to-day at Eholt, where a score of applications will be passed upon. TOOK A SPECIAL TRAIN Distinguished Party Went Over the New Railway. Prom West Robson to Orand Forks Ruaalag Time Was Three Hours and Tea Mlautea ������President Shaughueuy Next A distinguished party went over the new Boundary railway in a special train last Wednesday, goii.g as far as Greenwood and returning the next day. It consisted of Col- lingwood Shreiber, assistant minis* ter of railways, Chief Engineer Tye, Assistant Freight Agent Peters, W. H. Aldridge, manager of the Trail smelter, Timothy Foley, Peter Larson and J. W. Stewart, of the firm of Mann, Foley Bros. & Larson, Dick Porter and Auditor Kimball. It was the first trip of several of these gentlemen on the new line, and they were all pleased with the splendid condition of the road bed and bridges. The actual running time from West Robson to Grand Forks was three hours and ten minutes, a distance of 71 miles. It took only 28 minutes to go over the switchback at the Bull Dog tunnel. The return trip, 13 miles, from Grand Forks to Cascade, was made in 28 minutes. This shows that good time can readily be made when the C. P. R. gets ready to make it. To a Record representative Mr. Tye stated that he expected to in* augurate a daily service as soon as President Shaughnessy went over the road, which would hesometime next week probably. He also stated that it was not the intention to operate the road for passenger traffic to Greenwood until it could be done also to Midway, as it would require two inspections by government officials, when in a few days one would answer. There has been much trouble to secure sufficient steel to finish tracklaying to Midway, hut Jack Stewart says enough for this purpose is now coming forward. None is yet in sight, however, for the branches. THE CASCADE RECORD OctobiT 31, 1899 IN AND AROUND CASCADE. Columbia is talking of organizing a club. The Uossland Record is showing its prosperity by increasing to six columns to the page. Greenwood is to have a large variety theatre which will be built by Alderman A. Fisher. Rev. J. McCoy last week made a five days' missioiiuiy trip to Gladstone and the tunnel camps. Chas. R. Hosmer, manager of the C. P. R. telegraph system, has been elected a director of the C.P.R. The Grand Forks boar J of trade is being reorganized and will doubtless accomplish much good for the town. A. E. Ashcroft, of Greenwood, has completed the survey of the Shakespeare claim, near Gladstone, for Angus K. Stewart.., Oscar Englund returned from the Similkameen last week with his surveying crew but will probably go back again soon. O.'H.Thomas.of the Hotel Cascade, w'hlo went to Spokane early last week to'receive surgical treatment owing to a'badly lacerated arm, returned Sunday much"improved. An idea of the increase of the volume of business in the Boundary country can be formed from the fact that the customs collections at the port of Grand Forks during September exceeded $10,000. John Lingholm recently made a visit to the Bergip, one of his properties on St. Thomas mountain, near Gladstone. He wis much pleased at the result of the work done this year on the claim. A miner at the Rathmullen accidentally run the sharp point,of a miner's candle stick into his lung while ascending the shaft. Dr. Oppenhemier brought him to the city where he is recovering.���Greenwood Miner. The British Columbia Rifles, including the Rossland, Nelson, Revelstoke, Kaslo and Kamloops companies have been formally authorized to drill for the drill season 1899-1900 at local headquarters and receive 12 days' pay. D. C. Jackling, a famous metallurgist from Mercur, Utah, is now at Republic to make a report upon the possibilities of reducing the ore in the great Republic mine. He thinks1 by his process it can be done at a cost Oi not more than $3 per ton. ' i ������ > i May & Handy th'is week completed the first coiiiract for packing supplies from Hall's Bridge to the properties of the Pontifex Gold Mining Co., on Huckleberry mountain. The force of men at this group is to be increased at once by Manager Inkster. F. A. Brown, formerly a resident of Cascade, died at his home in Republic recently of Bri(jht's disease. Brown was at one time connected with the ill-fated Hotel Columbia, at Columbia, but of late has had charge of the Delaware ho,tel at Republic. A board of trade was organized last week at Columbia, when the following officers were elected : President, J. B. McArthur; vice- president, Chas Hay; secretary, P. T. Wright; treasurer, W. Wastell. Executive committee, Messrs. Anderson, Simard, Morrison and Crowe. The Kittie W., adjoining the Pathfinder mine, north fork of Kettle river, lookB so favorable as a result of the recent work in opening up tbe ledge by a series of open cuts, that it has been decided !>y the management to keep a force of men at work all winter. A permanent working shaft will be sunk to the 75-foot level, when cross-cutting will be commenced. First Boundary Shipment. F. M. McLeod, of Grand Forks, who bonded the Yankee Girl and Yankee Boy on Hardy mountain six weeks ago, shipped a carload of 20 tons of ore to the Trail smelter last Monday. This formed the first shipment of ore by rail from the Boundary country, and made the event somewhat historic. The returns are expected to exceed $100 per ton in gold and silver. A shaft has been sunk 100 feet. It is connected with a tunnel 100 feet long. Near the face of the tunnel a crosscut has been driven 100 feet, and in it the ore is from 12 to 27 inches wide. The latest assay gave 29 ounces gold and 12 ounces silver per ton. New Stage Coach Running. Last week Messrs. Brockman & Lay, of the Bossburg and Grand Forks stage line, put on a new 14- passenger stage that is certainly a beauty. These men, who are popular with the travelling public, have long been in the staging business and are now doing a big business, carrying full loads each way. , Send it Back East.

When the building of the Canadian Pacific railway was first proposed, the project was bitterly opposed by many Canadians who looked upon the scheme as a piece of folly. These Canadians characterized British Columbia as "a sea of mountains," and declared emphatically that the railway could never be built through this province, and that, even if it could be built, it would never pay. These prophets have been conclusively proved to be false prophets. The railway has been built, and it pays well. Not only has the C. P. R. company built a line extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but it is probable that within a few years they will have a second line extending from Fort William in Ontario to Vancouver. It is well known that it is their intention to double the track between Fort William and Winnipeg. They already possess a line extending from Winnipeg to Estevan, in As- siniboia, and the necessities of settlers will soon require the extension of this line to Lethbridge. The Crow's Nest Pass road, and the Columbia & Western now extend from Lethbridge to Midway. The Columbia & Western will undoubtedly be extended soon through Penticton and the Similkameen valley, not only to Hope on the Faser river, but beyond that point along the south-bank of the Fraser to New Westminster and Vancouver. It can be seen, therefore, that the Canadian Pacific company will soon have two lines extending from Lake Superior to the Pacific ocean, and, as the canals in Eastern Canada are being enlarged so as to allow vessels from the ocean to come to Fort William, there will be during the season of navigation practically two C. P. R. lines extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is probable, moreover, that a third line will be built within a very short time extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This line will not deprive the C. P. R. ef traffic to any serious extent. It was thought a few yeare ago that the habitable and useful part of Canada was too narrow to allow even one transcontinental railway a chance of paying. It is now well known that it is wide enough to supply traffic for two or three transcontinental lines. This third line is being .built-in pieces. The Rainy river railway and the Manitoba & Southeastern will together extend from Port Arthur on Lake Superior to Winnipeg. This part of the line will pass through a very rich agricultural and mining region. The line will extend from Winnipeg to Prince Albert, passing over the Portage Plains, and through the Dauphin, Swan river, and Carrot river districts. From Prince Albert it will pass westward through the Battleford district to Edmonton. The land is of great value for grain growing and grazing pur- posess all the way from Winnipeg to Edmonton and, in fact, to the Rocky mountains. Noother transcontinental line in America will equal it in this respect. From Edmonton the line will pass through the Yellow Head Pass into the rich mining region of Cariboo. At Tete Jaune Cache there are excellent placer mines, and at Barkerville and other parts of Cariboo there are rich gold mines. It is probable that the line, when it reaches Quesnelle on the Fraser river, will proceed to the ocean in two directions, one line passing northwest to Port Simpson, which has an excellent harbor, and the other passing southwest through the Chilcotin district and across Seymou* Narrows to Vancouver Island, whence it will proceed southward to Victoria, making use of the E. & N. road, and passing through the rich coal mining districts of Vancouver Island. The Chilcotin district is one of the best regions in British Columbia. It is proposed also to build a branch from the Saskatchewan River to Fort Churchill on Hudson Bay, which will give a short line from Victoria and Port Simpson to that inlet of the Atlantic. It is not probable, however, that Port Arthur will be the permanent eastern terminus. The gap will probably soon be filled up between that town and the Ottawa and Parry Sound Railway, which will soon extend in a comparatively straight line from Parry Sound to Quebec. The St. Lawrence is to he bridged immediately at Quebec, and connection will then be had at Levis with the Intercolonial Rail way,extending to St. John and Halifax. There will then be a direct line from Halifax to Esquimau, and it will be possible to pass from one place to the other without leaving the cars. Have you liquidated your subscription to the Record? If not, now is a splendid time to get your name inscribed on our list as one of those who are paid up. A $2 bill does the trick. NOTE AND COMMENT. " It is a moral certainty that we will have both federal and provincial elections within six months," observes an exchange. That to be the universal opinion. seems After many vexatious attempts the Columbia beat the Shamrock over ten minutes in the first of the several races this week for the America cup. At this writing it is not easy to predict the result of the series, which requires three out of five races to win, but interest gains apace. In a couple of weeks more the Record will have finished out its first year of existence. This is a reminder to delinquent subscribers that our receipt book is still doing business at the old stand. The coming year is confidently expected to be one of still greater prosperity to the record and the Boundary country. The change of time on the new Boundary branch of the C. P. R., so that passengers on tne return trip avoid the three or four hours' wait at West Robson, is a welcome one to the travelling public. With the running of passenger trains to Greenwood, which should begin by the first of the month, other little unpleasantnesses of the trip will doubtless be eliminated. War is now on in the Transvaal in earnest and England is making every preparation to hurl her mighty armies against the Boers. Mr. Chamberlain, secretary for the colonies, will accept 1,000 Canadian volunteers for service in the war and enlistment is now going on��� even in the Kootenays. The Boers had better keep an eye on the members of the Kootenay rifle companies that go to South Africa. There is no telling what damage they may inflict.

October 21,1899 THE CASCADE RECORD LBY THE WAYSIDE g (��t��lttt��(ttlt8mttlt8^KltKstlt��lR��:��l��'. The editor of the Record returned Tuesday from a visit to the Spokane exposition, and he haB no hesitation in saying that, when the increased price of admission and had weather are taken into consideration, it was a decided success. Doubtless the best and most interesting feature of the whole show was the mineral exhibit which was a great revelation to thousands of our almost incalculable mineral possibilities. British Columbia cunips were well represented with ore specimens, and there can be no doubt in the mind of any reasonable man that good will flow from this tine display. It wits a pity tbat Christina lake camps were not represented. Some of the finest music ever made was heard at the exposition. It was furnished by the Grand Army Band, of Canton, Ohio, President McKinley's hometown. The organization consists of 44 men, every one an artist on the instrument he played. It was a genuine treat to hear such an aggregation of talent. Manager Bolster is to be congratulated on the successful outcome of the exposition. It will likely be made a permanent thing hereafter. -%, The Grand Forks Daily Gazette made its first bow to an expectant and waiting public last Monday, and its neat make-up and general newsy appearance was an agreeable surprise to the residents of tbe Forks. Mr. Smith is getting out a good paper, and if he keeps it up to its present high standard,heshould make it a success. It already has a generous support, showing that the Forkers know a good thing when they see it. The paper is a six-column folio and contains the latest press dispatches. Hewitt Bostock, M. P., went through the Boundary early in the week and it is understood ho was advised about our indifferent postal facilities. If he wishes still more evidence, the Record has a fresh batch with all documents to prove the case, that will be submitted should he so desire. One reform that would assuridly give better service would be the giving of adequate compensation to post office employees. This is not like Ontario where a man can live like a lord on $40 or $50 a month, and Mr. Bostock and Mr. Mulock should certainly be aware of the fact by this time. -%�� This week a party passed through Cascade, boiyul for the upper Boundary, that had just gone through the ordeal of tackling the Buffalo Hump country, in Idaho, that has had so much newspaper booming in recent months. To say that they were bitterly disappointed with what they found in the Buffalo Hump would be putting it very mildly. The leader of the party asserted that it was the most dreary, desolate, worthless section it had ever been his misfortune to visit. It was overrated to a degree, and there were hundreds���yes, thousands���there who rued the day they first, heard of Buffalo Hump." The boom, it was asserted, was the result of tbe work of naid agents and was not justified by the existing conditions. This iB not a pleasing picture, but it is given just as it was told. It appeared to have been related in good faith and as the truth. There are probably some good properties in the Hump district, but they are evidently a scarce article as yet. ilontana Hotel PERFECTING THE 'PHONE LINES. Columbia Company Now Getting Into Oood Shape Throughout. John B. Donald, manager of the Columbia Telepnone Co., was in town Thursday looking after the business of his company. This year that concern has spent over $50,000 in new lines and exchanges in this part of British Columbia The service now runs from the boundary line to Camp McKinney, via Cascade, Grand Forks, Greenwood and Midway, and is 75 miles long, being a metallic copper circuit the entire distance. It has exchanges in Rossland, Grand Forks and Columbia, and will shortly put in exchanges at Phoenix and Greenwood. Mr. Donald says that notwithstanding thecompetition of another telephone company and two telegraph companies, they are doin ? it good business and are veey well satisfied with the outlook. It is expected that the line will be extended to Nelson next year and also out west, to and beyond Penticton. The American connection of the Columbia is the Spokane and B. C. Company, which runs to Spokane. George C. Hodge, the district manager of the Nelson & Vernon Telephone Co., is again in the Boundary looking afrer the interests of his company. He informed the Record man that his people have recently made a substantial reduction in the rates for local 'phones. In Greenwood, Grand Forks ard Rossland the rates have come down from $5 to $2 for business houses and to $2 for residences. Competition seems to be bringing down the price considerably. The Record is opening up a constantly improving paystreak of Fine Job Printing. You are cordially invited to assay it. C. H. MAY, Proprietor.

BELGROVE, Prop. 6 THE CASCADE RECORD October SI, 1880 MR BOSTOCK IN THE BOUNDARY, Accompanied by Hon. Sidney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture. Our member in parliament, Hewitt Bostock, accompanied by Hon. Sidney Fisher, minister of agriculture, have been visiting various points in the former's constituency. Last week they were in Kootenay and this week have been meeting and addresssing the voters of various Boundary towns, explaining the policy of the government from their standpoint. They came over from Rossland on Monday's train, and on Tuesday held a meeting at Grand Forks. Both gentlemen were astonished at the growth and prosperity of the Boundary as far as they had seen it, and promised to keep its needs in mind. Their particular attention was called to the inadequate postal facilities. Mr. Bostock continued on to his home at Ducks by way of Greenwood and Vernon, while Mr. Fisher returned to the Kootenays by rail. Just Kick at the C. P. R. Gladstone merchants are making a just kick at tho way the C. P. R. handles freight for that town. Goods are dumped hundreds of feel from the section house, broken open and left to the tender mercies of the elements and passing wayfarers. Business men there are justly indignant at this treatment, and are raising a howl that will be heard beyond the office of Freight agent Peters at Nelson, if need be The facts stated have been verified by the Record. Columbia Is Winner. The great international yacht races, between the Shamrock and Columbia, were brought to a close yesterday by the Columbia winning the third race of the series. The cup will, accordingly, remain on this side of the Atlantic for the present. LOCAL AND GENERAL. Miss Zena Mendenhall left for Spokane on Thursday's stage. Paymaster B. F. Woodman, for the railway contractors, will start on his monthly rounds next Monday. Bridge men and tracklayers and surfacers, with the tunnel men, are about all who will be made happy in this way this month. Henry White, the locator of the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides, has bonded the Banner claim, at Franklin camp, the new location on the east fork of the north fork of Kettle river, from Frank Maefar- lane for $50,000 paying 10 per cent, down. A four-drill compressor was received at the Morrison mine in Deadwood Camp last week. They expect to have it put up and in running order by the end of this week. This property is now working a large force of men, and development work will continue all winter. Col. A. B. Huestis, U. S. Collector of Customs for the state of Washington, passed through to Grand Forks yesterday, accompanied by Allan Cameron, C. P. R. freight agent at Vancouver. The C. P.

BULLOCK-WEBSTER, Keremeos. VALUE OF WATER POWERS Prosperous Communities Have Grown Around Them. INTRINSIC WORTH STEADILY INCREASES Cascades'* Power Nearly Equal to that of Spokane���Now Controlled by a Strong English Syndicate. The recent transfer of the water power tit Cascade to the rich and powerful English syndicate, the London and B.C.Gold Fields,Ltd., reminds us of some of the immense expenditures on other water powers and the benefits derived therefrom. Probably the largest power recently developed is at Niagara where 120,- 000 horsepower is developed at an expense of. $4,000,000. The power on the St. Louis near Duluth, Minn., was sold by Jay Cook for $1,000,000 and at a later date was repurchased by him at an advanced price. For the preservation of the falls at Minneapolis, which, owing to the soft nature of the rock were rapidly wearing away, the U. S Government appropriated $1,000,- 000. At R��ck Island 4,000 h.-p. is developed at a cost of over $1,000,- 000. The controlling interest in this power is owned by the U. S. Government. In 1884 Jas. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern R. R., paid $800,000 for a portion of the Great Falls of the Missouri in Montana, about which has grown a city of 15,000 or 20,000 population. The as yet undeveloped Shoshone Falls in Idaho were purchased by Omaha parties for $50,000. While statistics regarding Spokane's water power are not available, figures well up in the millions would be required to represent the value of the present improvements. Recent discoveries in economically transmitting and adapting power render these water powers much more valuable than formerly. Cheap transportation places inland cities on a more equal footing with coast cities. Cheap power makes possible the profitable establishing of many industries which could not otherwise exist. For the benefits accruing from these powers the towns or cities adjoining, one need but observe the the results in each of the above mentioned instances. It is the almost invariable rule that large cities spring up about developed powers. This fact is particularly marked in the case of Minneapolis, where the rival city of St. Paul was already established, a large, prosperous financial and commercial centre ; also at Spokane, where, in spite of railroad opposition, political influence and outside pressure, it steadily but surely pressed forward to become the first and leading inland city of the coast states. Cascade has a water power nearly equal in magnitude to that of Spokane. Considering the advantageous location of Ca��cade in other ways, ita close proximity to the mines, its attractiveness as a summer resort, its beautiful and central location, with its immense now to be developed water power, there is a very reasonable assurance that Cascade will take the leading position nature has intended for it.

H: INGRAM, Mgr. BOUNDARY HINES ��� Brief Bits Prom Many Camps. A valuable strike is reported on the Majestic, in Central Camp. It is said that the pay roll of the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill mines, at Phoenix, amounts to $22,000 per month. The Mother Lode people, of Dead- wood Camp, are about to start development on the No. 7 group in Central Camp, where 600 feet of work has already been done. S. C. Holman will have charge of the new operations. The strike recently made on the Humming Bird, on the north fork of Kettle river, so far discloses 12 feet of ore without either wall in sight. About 2,000 tons of ore are on the group and 4,000 tons blocked out in the mine. With a five-stamp mill the cleanup on the Granite, in Camp McKinney, last week was a gold brick valued at $585. This is the best record made since the plant was installed. The ore lately has been averaging $17 per ton. The Boundary Creek mineral exhibit at the Spokane Exposition was awarded third prize, beating Rossland, Nelson and the Slocan. The first prize fell to the State of Washington and the second to Sumpter, Oregon, which latter sent some particularly fine free gold exhibits. R. A. Brown has started development work on his Sunset mineral claim in the Similkameen which was recently incorporated. Two shifts will be employed, with Isaac Loughead foreman. The 43-foot shaft will be continued to the 150- foot level. On his Volcanic Mr. Brown now has the tunnel in over 625 feet. W. Fleet Robertson, provincial mineralogist, was in the Boundary this week inspecting mining properties and securing notes of the late development of the district. On this trip he visited the Pathfinder, Volcanic, Golden Eagle and others up the north fork of Kettle river, and then took in Long Lake and Phoenix camps on his return. Last week a new ledge was crosscut on the Golden Crown, in Wellington Camp, and this week another ledge was encountered at the dividing line between the Golden Crown and Winnipeg mines. The ledge runs through both properties, and is*fully 30 feet wide. The ore is solid and carries higher copper values than any which has yet been taken from the Winnipeg. Wood <^FOR SALE.
