on the big ne
hie Driver and Gang Are Now on
the Ground.
FOUOE OF 40 MEN 101)0 THE WORK
It Will Probably Require Four Months to
Prepare the Structure for the Bands of
Steel and the Iron Horse.
Dick Porter, one of the tirm of
Putter Bros. & McArthur the contractors for the bridge work on the
new railway line, was in the city
last Tuesday, on business connected with the construction of the
1500-foot bridge over Kettle river
at this point.
As is well known this is one of
the largest and highest bridges on
the line, and will require the services of a good sized gang of bridge
carpenters for several months to
complete it. While here Mr. Porter visited the Lynch & Earle mill,
the proprietor* of which have the
contract for getting out all the
square timbers for the structure.
He found that thus far over 400,-
000 feet of the nearly 1.500,000 feet
required had been cut and delivered at the site of the long structure.
Mr. Porter also conferred with
(ieorge Gurney, foreman of the pile
driving gang, which is already on
the ground and at work.
Mr. Gurney states that his gang
will require the services of 15 men
to put in place the 500 or 600 piles
needed, with the assistance >f the
pile driver, propelled hy a 12-h.p.
engine. For some three weeks
W. J. Brown, whose home is near
the bridge, has heen at work on the
contract of getting out the 13,000
lineal feet of logs required.
In about two weeks' time the
first part of the framing gang will
be on hand to start their work.
When the force is complete the job
will require about 40 men, and it is
expected the bridge will not be completed and ready for iron till some
time iu June or perhaps July.
Preparations are now being made
for quarters for the men near the
work. A messhouse is being erected and other necessary buildings
will be put up at once. Early next
week the pile driver will he at work,
ami thereafter the locality of the
bridge will be a scene of the greatest activity.
This bridge will be 1500 feet long,
and curved at the eastern end to
meet the grade. It will he 150 feet
over the Kettle river at its highest
point and have two spans of 150
feet length each.
J. B. Clabon, famous in Rossland
mining circles, was in town early
this week.
The stage Hue is unable to handle
the traffic now offered every day.
As a consequence many special
teams are sent nut, to the great
benefit of the livery men.
Mail Contract Let
Hobert Wills has been informed
oy the post office officials from
Ottawa, that he has been awarded
the contract for carrying Her
Majesty's mails between Brooklyn
and Cascade. For the present the
service will be twice a week, which
is hoped to be increased before
long. Mr. Wills is proprietor of
the etage line that has been operating for several months between the
two places, and will enter upon the
performance of the contract at
once. Postmaster Cameron has
also received notice to make up
mail sacks for transmission over
the new route.
It is expected that orders will be
received shortly for the establishment of post offices at Gladstone,
where Mr. Forrest will probably be
the postmaster, and McRae Landing on Christina lake, where F.
Asprey is expected to officiate in
the B. C. Syndicate's branch store.
The new service will prove a great
convenience to hundreds of persons
along the route.
Splendid Dam Work
It is the universal comment that
the work now being done on the
big dam, at the head of the falls,
is of a most permanent character.
Hundreds of people visit the scene
and are impressed with the great
care taken in the placing of every
log or the driving of every bolt.
Supervising Engineer Anderson is
constantly on the ground, and
nothing escapes his eagle eye. Not
even a drjfl-holjt goes in that he
does not note and see that it is sent
home and imbedded. The result
will be one of the best constructed
dams in the entire country.
During the last week considerable progress has been made on the
work, so that its proportions can
now be appreciated hy flie layman.
A temporary bridge has been thrown
across the river, and Contractor
Quinlivan's men are now filling in
the cribbing with loose rock from
the opening where the flume is to
cut. In a day or two the north
side of the dam will be completed
to a sufficient extent so that the
wing dam can be removed and the
water diverted to the north side.
Then the work on the permanent
wing on the south side will he undertaken and pushed.
Cut by the Railway
Frank M. O'Brien of Cascade
owns two claims on the line of the
Columbia & Western, about two
and one-half miles from Christina
lake, which he intends to develop
this season. These ��� claims, the
Golden Crown and Moonlight, have
three well defined ledges, all of
which have been cut hy the railway work. The road at thin point
is about 1200 feet higher than McRae creek, and the rock seems 11 be
in place. Two of the ledges are
from three to four feet in size, the
matter being an altered quartz lying
in a diorite and porphyry formation.
P C. McArthur, of Rossland, son
of J. B. McArthur, president of the
Columbia Townsite Co., was a
visitor in Cascade this week.
Great Burnt Basin Group Will Be
Developed at Once.
IS \ FREE-MILLING GOLD PROPERTY
Strong Company Formed in Rossland, and the
First Issue of Treasury Stock Was
Quickly Subscribed.
The Burnt Basin is most assuredly coming to the front, and the
season now at hand will undoubtedly be one of great activity iu that
locality. This is the opinion of
those familiar with the section and
its wonderful possibilities, as well
as of those who are directly interested there. A number of practical mining men went into the
Basin last fall, and while little wis
said, they have been quietly sawing
wood, a�� it were, and the results
are beginning to be evident.
One of the moet prominent
groups of claims in the Burnt Basin,
the Mother Lode, was taken hold
of last week by Rossland capitalists, and a thorough system of
development will be inaugurated.
The name of the new concern is
the Mother Lode Gold Mining Co.,
having a capital of 1,000,000 shares
of the par value of ten cents each.
The directors are : Hon. T. Mayne
Daly, president, and Mike Shick,
P. J. Jackson, Herbert Daly, V.
Le Maistre and E. J. Grant. The
head office is in Rossland, where
Mr. Shick was successful in engineering the deal. At the outset
100,000 shares were put into the
treasury at 34 cents each. It said
that these have nearly all heen
subscribed for and no more will be
offered for the present. The proceeds are to he spent entirely in
development work, which it is said
is to be started early in March
The Mother Lode Group, consisting of the Mother Lode, Ajax
and Daly mineral claims, were
located by Mike Shick and Marshall Jackson a year ago last May.
There are several free milling
ledges on the group, from three to
seven feet in width. The assays
on the surface ran from $15 to
$1500 and over. The property is
a good one, and it is believed will
turn out to be a bonanza for the
owners.
MAKING A DEAL.
A well known mining man from
Greenwood is in the city. Yesterday he examined a Christina lake
proposition in the interest of
Messrs. Baldwin and Chezum. He
expressed a very favorable opinion
of the property in question, and
was quite surprised that it had not
attracted attention sooner than
this. As the owners have not completed certain details in connection
with the transfer of this claim, they
preferred not to give out the name,
particulars, etc., just at present.
IN AND AROUND CASCADE.

THE CASCADE RECORD, FEBRUARY 18, 1899
McRAB CREEK
Activity on Some of Its
Promising Claims.
S. R. Reid returned from a trip
tlong the line of the Columbia &
Western this week where he had
been sampling some of the ledges
cut by the recent railway work, in
the interests of a Cascade business
man. Speaking of his trip Mr.
Reid said :
It is simply surprising to see the
amount of mineralized rock exposed in the cuts along the road
between here and the summit. I
noticed quite a number of well
defined leads, but not .as many as
I expected to find. Yet it seems to
me that this can be easily accounted for. The road, as is generally known, follows down McCrea
oreek along Christina lake and
Christina creek and Kettle river to
where it crosses here at Cascade.
For nearly all this distance the
mountains rise high above the road
and the cuts are chiefly through
slide matter. Had the road been
high enough to have cut the solid
formation it would undoubtedly
have given many surprises in a
mining way. However, the evidence of mineral along the track
will serve as index fingers to the
prospectors, who will be working
above this spring and summer.
There is considerable mining
activity up that way now. Just at
the foot of the mountain forming
the eastern slope of the Burnt
Basin, and in plain view of the
famous Snow Drift claim, iB situated the Big Bonanza, a grttup consisting of eight claims, viz., the
Caroline, Littie, Addie, Lizzie,
Bicycle, Copper Cliff, Deer Park
and Frederick. These claims extend hack from the tote road along
hy the old 20-mile station, and are
about three and one half miles
from Gladstone. The location"
were made last summer by Messrs.
Loomis, Hughes, Hamblin, Lang
and Matthews, and the first three
above named owners are now on
the ground. Considerable work
has been done during the fall and
winter on the property, and work
is still in progress and will be continued. On one of the claims a
shaft has been sunk to a depth of
35 feet, with a continually broadening ledge as the depth increases.
The assays of ore from this shaft
show encouraging values in gold,
silver and copper, and promises
soon to be of a shipping grade. A
tunnel will soon be started on the
Bicycle to tap an ore body.
On another one of the claims,
the Caroline, an 18 foot body of ore
has heen encountered at a depth of
35 feet. In fact, the owners assert
that they have actual outcroppings
of ore on each and every claim.
Coupled with the fact that the
railroad runs through the property, that there iB plenty of tim-
'ber and plenty of water power, and
that it is contiguous to and directly
in the midst of the well defined
and phenomenally high assaying
ore bodies of Burnt Basin and
Norway mountain, it seems that
the property might unquestionably
justify the cognomen of the Big
Bonanza.
Up on the John Bull behind
Gladstone a force of men are working steadily. A wonderful claim
is the John Bull. It is located
high   up   on the steep mountain
side above the railway, and the
main lead with its perfect walls
and rich coloring, forms a striking
contrast to the country rock on
ei' her side. On a clear day this
lead can be distinctly seen from
the Burnt Basin summits on the
opposite side of McRae creek.
Nature was kind in providing a
little flat place on the mountain
side, a few hundred feet from where
the vantage point for working mi
the lead is located. Here Messrs.
Cameron, ForreBt, Good and Dixon
dedicated a snug log cabin to the
jreat John Bull. A trail winds
along the face of the mountain to
the work, which is being prosecuted
with a view of showing the property up in the best light possible.
All the mining men who have
visited the John Bull predict for it
a great future. We may expect to
hear that the John Bull's gold-copper paystreak has widened suffici-
cently to guarantee shipments by
the time the rolling stock has heen
placed on the Columbia & Western
extension,
Charlie Willarson and Pete
Johnsin have again commenced
work on the Mystery, which lies on
the Burnt Basin slope of McRae
Creek, a half mile above Gladstone.
The Mystery is known to have
several parallel leads with outcroppings of ore which assay as
high as $27 in all values.
The Gladstonites are much elated over the prospects of a mining
boom in their neighborhood this
coming season, and quite a few of
the business men are rustling
around for "snaps" for themselves
and friends outside who are engaged in the mining business. Tom
Flynn, who runs a hotel in Ymir
and the Burnt Basin hotel in Gladstone, is an old time ptospector,
and over in the Ymir district
stacked up considerable coin. He
was the locator of the Dundee and
other properties over there that
have turned out well. Tom has
his weather eye open for some of
the good things up Burnt Basin
way, and swears that outsiders will
not get all the plums.
The news that Mike Shick had
succeeded in floating the Mother
Lode group in Burnt Basin, and
that Cooper is likely to bond the
Solid Gold for a good sum, was
enthusiastically received.
Attention!
The attention of the people of
Cascade City and the surrounding vicinity is drawn to
the fact that Knox & Delaney,
watchmakers and jewelers,
have recently opened a business in this city.   If the cold
snap has affected your watches
in any way, bring them to us
and we will adjust the wrong.
Every article that is repaired
by us is guaranteed.

It is reported that Fred Ross
and Jerry Haley, who gave a six-
round glove contest in Cascade
recently, got into a genuine tight

parted company for good. The
Miner says the ''show" they gave
in that city was a decided fake.
D. C. Fletcher, of Cascade, is interested iu the new stage line to
be run between Marcus and Republic, a distance of forty miles,
j. I. Daniel, H. J. Ernest and
William Russel, are also in it.
Regular trips have already been
undertaken.
The delay in the already slow
mails from Penticton and that
locality was not felt when Okanagan lake froze up and the steamer
Aberdeen could not run, because
the Boundary mails, owing to the
efforts of the Record, are all received via Marcus now.
The steamer City of Greenwood,
which was burned to the water's

AN EXCELLENT PLAN
The effort being made to have an
exhibit of British Columbia ores
sent to the Earlscourt Mining Exhibition in London, is an admirable one, and should be encouraged
in every possible way. It is the
idea to have the exhibit afterwards
forwarded to the world's exposition
at Paris, where it would undoubtedly be seen by many thousands
who have scarcely heard of British
Columbia, let alone attained any
knowledge of its vast mineral
riches. Premier Semi in has announced that the government would
take the matter up.
' If exhibits of this character are
properly selected, and placed in
charge of the right individual, the
good that is possible to flow therefrom is difficult to estimate. Such
a display can be gotten together
practically without cost, and it
will open the eyes of men of means
across the water to the investment
possibilities of this section.
As a rule, it takes capital and an
abundance of it, to demonstrate the
size and value of our lodes. There
is undoubtedly plenty of idle
capital that could be induced to
to take hold if the matter was
properly presented. Mining is
not entirely speculation, although
the element of chance is large.
Exhibits of our ores should be
made at all suitable expositions,
for nothing but good can follow
from such enterprise on our part.
The Toronto Globe comments at
length upon the British Columbia
Alien Placer Act, and the chances
of its disallowance by the Federal
government. After reviewing the
matter the article concludes:
" While provision has been made
for the possible straining of Provincial authority in the direction
of internecine antagonism, it is to
he hoped that the opposite spirit
will characterize the deliberations
of every cabinet council and every
legislative assembly. While we
are so enthusiastic about the
strengthening of the ties that bind
the empire together, we will be
making ourselves ridiculous if
local exclusiveness breeds antagonism within the Dominion."
If there is a single paper in
southern   British   Columbia   that
has not severely criticized the conduct of postal affairs hereabouts, it
is yet to be heard from. The
Record is up in the front rank of
the kickers, and has no apologies
to offer for its stand. Now that
the department is beginning to do
something in the way of reform,
and we can see the tangible evidence of it. the Record wishes to
he equally quick to credit the post
office officials for things they have
done bb well as those left undone-
even though the department is
spurred to it largely because of a
wideawake press.
It is said that the Godderham-
Blackstock syndicate, of Toronto,
owners of the great War Eagle and
Centre Star mines at Rossland, are
looking for more dividend payers,
and have their eyes on the Boundary. These people are mining
for profit, and while they paid big
figures-$800,000 for the War
Eagle and $2,000,000 for the Centre
Star���it is well known that the
holdings are sure to prove exceedingly profitable, and that steady
dividends will be the rule. They
do not stickle at the figure if the
ore is in the mine. They i re mining on business principles, the only
system that will prove successful
in the long run.
While the Nelson and Rossland
papers are discussing which is entitled to have the Kettle River customs district added to its own customs department, the Boundary
Creek Times steps in and nays, in
effect: "Gentlemen, you are simply
wasting your valuable breath. 'I his
district is doing very well and is
not aching to he attached to anyone or anything. When the railway is completed, in a few months,
we will probably have a bead centre of our own. and until then can
get along nicely under the New
Westminster district, to which we
now belong. Later we may annex
Rossland or Nelson, or both " To
all of which the Record would give
hearty assent.
The government bought the
bridge over Kettle river at Cascade
(at 25 per cent less than cost) and
the government's agent issued a
cheque in payment. But this
cheque for $750 was never paid.
Now the government comes out flat-
footed and says it will not meet the
amount of the cheque. And this is
the bridge that every team must
cross to get into the Boundary
creek country. It now in bad repair. Wonder ���what this government will do when a four horse
stage team goes through it, one of
these days ?
J. Fred Hume, minister of mines,
defeated A. S. Far well at the hy-
election held at Nelson last Tuesday. His majority was sufficient
to be good evidence that the people
of that section prefer to continue
one of their members as a cabinet
minister than to take chances with
one who could not possibly receive
such an appointment, because he
belongs to the opposite political
faith.
A flood of suggestions bas been
given to the legislative committee
on mining for amendments to the
existing law. But few are likely
to be adopted; among them are the
following: Before a claim can he
abandoned a fee of $10 must be
paid. All free miners' certificates
expire on May 31 uniformly, but
provision is made so that provisional certificates pro rata may be
issued in the meantime in order to
prevent hardship to present holders
of licenses. No powder can be
stored or thawed in a mine.
The newspapers of Republic are
constantly agitated about, the roads
leading to that lively town. One
advocates the San Poil route, another the Sherman road. In the
meantime one or two other routes
are in the field. But the old reliable, after all, is by way of Cascade.
Its a trifle long and roundabout,
but it is sure���an attribute not yet
credited to any other route.
There seems to be the unanimous opinion that the coming season will see a large influx of new
people into this district. This
means the quicker development of
our prospects and the turning of
them into profitable enterprises.
The year's development in Boundary will not fail to bring forth
some genuine suprises in the mining world.
If Cascade is overlooked in the
general estimates James M. Martin,
our member, will be held responsible by the voteis of this city.
Roughly speaking, we have contributed $20 for every dollar yet
spent here. These figures can be
easily verified, and should be
brought before our member.
The Nelson Tribune is one of the
most readable dailies in the province���and this notwithstanding
that some of its telegraphic news
comes "by wire" and some "by
mail." John Houston can give
some of our coast contemporaries
pointers in newspaper work.
The government now claims a
working majority of five in the
legislative assembly. This should
give them a chance to put through
all needed legislation without delay
and adjourn by the5lh of March���

Martin.

THE   CASCADE   RECORD, FEBRUARY  18,  1899
I BY THE WAYSIDE   I
Under date of February 9th the
Rossland Miner published the following: "During a discussion on
railway bonusing at the Vancouver
board of trade meeting," says the
Victoria Times, "Mr. S. Oppen-
heimer said that moot of the supplies required for the construction
of the Crow's Nest Pass railway
were purchased in the United
States." Mr. Oppenheimer might
have truthfully added that the
supplies in the construction of the
Columbia & Western were also
purchased there.
For the edification of the editor
of the Rossland Miner, the Record
will make the positive statement
that such an assertion in regard to
Mann. Foley Bros, & Larson, the
contractors for the Columbia &
Western extension, could not be
truthfully made. Donald McLeod
is purchasing agent for the contractors, and when the above was
shown to him he promptly denied
it. In order to ascertain the exact
facts the books were gone over, and
it was found that only 12�� per
cent, of the supplies were secured
in the United States���that is 87^
per cent, were gotten in Canada.
Not a thing was brought across the
line that could be had on this side.
*%.
Contractors do not build railways for fun, and they do not,
therefore, purchase supplies from
any point as a matter of sentiment.
A child knows that the duty on the
great bulk of staples is absolutely
prohibitive so far as buying in the
cheapest market goes. That fact
should have been sufficient.
The Victoria Times seems to be
anxious for news from the Boundary country, and the interior generally���so anxious that it copies
second hand stale matter from
various and divers sources. The
latest of these is a batch of items
from Cascade in its issue of the
14th, stolen entire from the Rossland Miner of the 10th inst. An
amusing part of the theft was the
fact that most of the items, when
originally sent from Cascade to the
Miner, under the date of February
7th, were old, having appeared in
the Record from one to two weeks
previously, and one original item
had no foundation whatever in
fact. The Times would get its interior news quicker and iu a more
reliable shape, if it followed the
plan of the majority of coaut papers
that cannot afford to pay correspondents, viz., clip and credit from
the papers direct, from the towns
where they are published. Some
fofcuet to credit and the Times is
one of these pirates. But there is
still time for it to reform.
A Cascade resident asked the
Record man this week the best and
most economical way to get a small
shipment from Penticton, sent there
by some ignoramus of a shipping
clerk. It was thought that the
bulk of such troubles were over
with, but it seems that the fool
killer's job is not completed yet, by
long odds. He should visit some
of the railway and express offices
in the far east.
All kinds of job printing furnished on shortest notice at the
Uecord office.

Number four of the Columbia
Review is upon our exchange desk,
and, outside of its "gall" in claiming to be the "most reliable mining
paper in the Boundary country,"
it is all right. Newspapers have
to earn such a reputation, audit
takes more than four issues to do it.
It also claims to have correspondents in "every camp in the country," and hasn't a communication
from a single one. The Review
is all right���in its own head.--���

THE   CASCADE   RECORD,  FEBRUARY  18,  1899
SUIT OVER THE STOLE MINE.
I
r ���
1 Clark Tells the Record the
Story of the Famous Property,
Robert Clark, locator of the
famous Seattle claim, eight miles
up the North Fork of the Kettle
river, was in Cascade Monday with
his wife, on his return from court
at Nelson, where he was fighting
for his rights in his now very valuable property.
He informed a Record representative that the claim was located in
J line,1895, and that he entered into
a deal with Hay & McCallum, of
Upper Grand Forks, by which if
they carried out the terms of their
contract they were to pay him
$10,000 for a one-fourth interest.
They only paid $1,000. However,
they organized the Clark-Seattle
Gold and Copper Mining Co., with
the modest capital of $6,000,000
and endeavored to place stock.
In September, 1896, Messrs.
Manly and Cummings, of Grand
Forks, contracted to buy a one
third interest. They also organized
a $6,000,000 concern, known as the
Seattle Mining and Smelting Co.
According to Mr. Clark, these gentlemen agreed to pay over $250 per
month and spend from $25,000 to
$50,000 on the property. He states
that they spent nothing whatever.
All of this financiering in companies having capital up into
seven figures naturally succeeded
in tangling the title to the property
so that no one interested knew
where they really stood in the
matter except Clark���and it looked
to him as though he was being left
out in the cold, with practically
nothing to show for it. Therefore
this suit was brought to determine
the equities. Sir Charles Tupper
and F. W. Peters, of Victoria, and
W. A. McDonald and A. C. Sutton
represented Mr. Clark, and E. V.
Bodwell of* Victoria repesented
Manley and Cummings.
The case occupied three days in
Nelson last week, and was adjourned to Victoria, where the arguments
of counsel are to he heard. Mr.
Clark feels well satisfied thus far
and is confident of winning. He
acknowledges that he is uneducated, not being accustomed to business ways. The claim is a gold-
copper property, with a 200-foot
ledge, assays running as high as
38 per cent in copper, Mr. Clark
has spent about $1,000 in prospecting the ground.
New Stage Line
W. 8. Torney made a trip to the
Forks this week, and while there
learned some of the particulars in
regard to the new stage line that
will soon be operated between Marcus, Grand Forks, Greenwood and
Republic. Seventy head of horses,
it is said, have been purchased, the
harness has been ordered in the
east, and the necessary rolling
stock has all been secured. It will
take some little time to get started,
and it is not the intention to begin
regular trips till the snow goes off.
It begins to look as though the
(irand Forks people really meant
business, and did not propose to be
sidetracked.
R. D. Hawks, the rustling Gladstone merchant, was in town yesterday purchasing supplies.
Bridge Repairs Needed
Just above the bridge at Cascade
over the Kettle river, is a piece of
corduroy road on the edge of the
bluff, that is in a bad condition.
The rough locks and sharp breaks
have nearly cut through many of
the poles of the corduroy, until they
are bending dangerously now. The
chances are that a had accident
will occur shortly. If there is a
rnadmaster for this section, he
should repair it at once. But as
the government has studiously refrained from putting a dollar into
this locality, it is probable that
nothing will be done until a good
sized lawsuit brings the shameful
condition of our roads to the attention of the government agent. This
is is on the main road that all the
Boundary travel must pass over
Smelter Men Here
H. L. Dean, superintendent of
the Trail smelter, and David W.
Moore, ore buyer for the same concern, came into town Thursday
nieht. Yesterday, in company
with C. A. Stoess, they visited the
smelter site just south of the city,
and a'so went to the head of the
falls, where a large force of men is
at work on the improvement of the
water power. In the afternoon
they took a special rig for Greenwood, doubtless to secure some
idea of the ore bodies that can he
drawn on in that locality.

CHARGED WITH THEFT.
John Miller Gets Sixty Days in the
Grand Forks Jail
An amusing case was heard
before Justices of the Peace Rochussen and Rose on Wednesday afternoon last. One John Miller, a
1'olander, who is employed on construction work in Brown's camp,
near Cascade, appeared on the
charge of having stolen numerous
small articles, including seven cakes
of soap, two pair of socks, one cap,
one pair of drawers (hadly worn),
a p.iir of shears, razor, razor strap,
shaving mug, lioltle of ink, package of cigarettes and two boxes of
matches, from his fellow workmen.
Charges of theft ware laid hy five
different parlies, and all were there
to substantiate the claims.
When the prisoner was brought
before the magistrates he suddenly
lost oil knowledge of the English
language, and despite thd inducements offered by Officer Darraugh
refused to understand until Ins
convenience suited him. After
detaining the court for about half
an hour he expressed his willingness to have the case disposed- of.
and. to the surprise of a few spectators, spoke English quite fluently.
Considering the small value of the
stolen property, he was on|,y given
two months. It is said that a
special request was sent to the
authorities in Grand Forks to have
an extra supply of soap furnished
him during his visit there

and Pierre creeks mineral sections,
as well as the Pierre lake district.
There are several mines on the
route which 'are ready to ship
whenever a railroad is built, and
the promoters of the Kettle River
railroad know it.��� Bossburg Journal.
The Kettle   River Valley   Railroad
Will be Built.
It is authentically reported from
Ottawa that Mr. Corbin will receive
the charter from the Canadian
government allowing him to enter
British territory with his Kettle
River Valley Railway which is
promised to be constructed the
coming summer.
The Canadian Pacific Railroad
company, who want the monopoly
of all the Boundary country railroad traffic, is fighting the bill
granting the charter to Corbin, but
the C. P. R. will not be as successful in defeating the bill this time
as last winter.
There is some conjecture as to
where the Kettle River Valley railway will form a junction with the
Spokane Falls & Northern. Meyers
Palls "has it from headquarters"
that the new railroad will branch
out from there and go direct to
Republic, and from there up into
the- Boundary country. Marcus
"stands in with them" and will
have the ro��d cross the Columbia
at that point and follow the old
route up the Kettle river which
was surveyed ten years ago. Owing
to the " terrible hill " opposite
Bossburg of course we here can lay
no claim of eventually being the
junction. But the feasible route
and where Cabin's surveyors have
heen doing the mos: work and as
authentically reported a permanent
railway survey for this road is established from opposite Northport,
down the Columbia river to Crown
creek, thence up that creek to the
head of Flat ami Pierre creeks,
thence toward Cascade.
. This latter route goes through
one of the best mineral sections on
the Colville Indian reservation,
which will give the road more
tonnage than any of the other
routes could furnish.
It will tap the Flat, Fifteen Mile
