QUIETLY BUT IMPORTANT Development Work Being Done in Mines About Cascade. PONTIFEX, RUSSELL,WATERLOO CLAIMS Huckleberry Mountain Gradually Yielding to the Pressure of Development Work that Discloses Its Hidden Treasures. There is a good <ieal of development work going on around Cascade in a mineral way about which but little is being said or written. At the same time this quiet work is development, of a nature that is telling and is showing up our rich mineral lodes in a most satisfactory way���a way tbat will surely result in due time, in making a fortune for more than one pioneer. Huckleberry mountain, just back of Cascade, bids fair to be one of the best caiwps along the Boundary line. There are now two companies working there on propositions that mining men declare are most promising. The Pontifex Gold Mining Co., a Spokane corporation, has been working for months under J. H. Inkster, and the force is now nicely housed for the winter, as stated heretofore in the Record, and steadily Working a double shift on the shaft in the gigantic ledge that shows so plainly on tbe property. Those who have seen the Pontifex declare that it cannot fail to make a great mine with exploitation. This group is located within five miles of Cascade, the winter's stock of supplies has been packed in, a whim installed, and work will continue indefinitely. Somewhat nearer Cascade, and about a mile from the Pontifex group is the Russell group, located by W. L. Russell. Mr. Russell had great faith in these properties and has organized a stock concern, called the Russell Gold Mining Co., with a capital of $1,500,000 to work the properties. Hugh McGuire, of Grand Forks, and others, are interested. Already 100,000 shares of the treasury stock have been disposed of, and a force of men, under Manager Lightfoot, have already sunk a 30-foot shaft in the ledge, which is 12 feet wide on the surface and widens as it grows deeper. The work so far has largely been done on the Waterloo claim, which has a splendid showing, there being seven other claims in the group. Last Monday a contract was awarded to Mr. Lightfoot for sinking the shaft another 100 feet, and he already has three shifts of men at work. In addition to this the company will continue work on another portion of the property, and will push general development work. The company has built winter qua iters, in the shape of cabins, etc., and supplies for several months have been packed in to the property. It is the intention to prosecute steady development, and prove that that old Huckleberry has some of the best mines in the northwest. NEW CHURCH DEDICATED. Services Were Held in the Presbyterian Church Last Sunday. Not only in a religious sense, but in every other relation making for tbe best interests of this community, last Sunday was a day that will long be remembered and often referred to in the future. The event which marks the day as of special importance, was the opening and dedicatory service in the new Presbyterian church in Cascade. While the building is not a large structure it is sufficiently capacious to accommodate the attendance for a number of years. In bis dedicatory remarks, the pastor, Rev. Jos. McCoy, said that the generosity of the citizens who had so nobly assisted in the erection of the building was evinced by the fact that there was no debt on the church except what had been borrowed from the church extension fund, amonting to only $400, with four years, without interest, to pay it in. The size of the building is 24x36 feet, and has a seating capacity of considerable over a hundred. The attendance at the services both morning and evening was quite large, last Sunday, and the pastor's remarks happily befitting the occasion, were listened to with deep interest by all present. He seemed to be brimming over with delight and gratefulness for the opportunity to stand on the rostrum in a house dedicated to the service of the Devine Master in Cascade and preach the Gospel to an attentive and appreciative audience. The completion and opening of the building is not only a pleasing fact to Mr. McCoy, but to a large number of citizens and churchgoers who realize the urgent need of and the good to be derived from regular religious services in a pleasant and attractive room under circumstances of ease and comfort. John R. Reavis, of the Grand Forks Miner, was in Cascade this week, securing data for a special edition of his paper, which will appear about New Years. Frightened by Women and Girls. A dispatch from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: A week ago, 600 miners employed in the Diamondville Coal & Coke C impany at Diamondville, Wyo., struck for an increase in wages. Their demands were refused and a Binall force of non-union men went to work. At an early hour this morning a mob of 300 women and girls, armed with guns, knives, clubs and stones, marched to the mines and compelled the operators to flee. ' Knocked Out By Bad Roads. The stage roads between Cascade and Bossburg have become so frightfully bad as to be rendered absolutely dangerous. In consequence the Bossburg-Columbia stage line has been discontinued. We are informed that it ceased operations Wednesday. The line between Cascade and Grand Forks was discontinued tbe fore part of last week. Whether the lines will run stages again when the snow improves the roads, we have not learned. Santa Claus In Cascade. There have been some very posi- itive indications this week that old man Santa Claus will visit this place some evening during the Christmas tide. Mrs. McLeod and Mrs. B. Wilcox have been appointed a reception committee to receive him and list the presents for the children. His' arrival will be duly announced in this paper. LOCAL MELANQE. Officer D. J. Darraugh has been transferred from Cascade to Phoenix The government authorities must be satisfied that the immense territory between Phoenix and Rossland is inhabited by a peaceably inclined people or it would not leave so large a field unpoliced. C. H. Thomas has been wrestling with a very painful tooth this week, and was in Grand Forks to secure relief by seeking the aid of a dentist. To have seen him after his return one would be impressed with the idea he was one of the Ma- jauha Hill heroes. The English store here, conducted by the B. C. Mercantile and Mining Syndicate, limited, with branches at McRae Landing, Gladstone and Eagle City; have been recieving immense cargoes of seasonable goods the past two weeks. Their branches are supplied from Cascade. The parent house of this firm is located in London, England. BRITONS GAINING GROUND Slowly But Surely The Boers Are Forced To Retreat. REINFORCEMENTS GOING TO THE FRONT The Casualty List Assuming Serious Proportions, Already Totaling Over 4,000���Died at Sea. Perhaps the most depressing bit of news that has come from South Africa the paBt week, is the report that the whole border district between Colesburg and Burghersdorp had risen in insurrection, and declared for the Boers, who secured in one locality alone over 2,000 recruits. If the British troops in the Transvaal are as much muddled in their plans, their successes and defeats, and tbe whereabouts and <<e- signs of the enemy, as the editors and iheir readers are in Canada and England, it is regretable. As nearly as positive results can be obtained, they are incorporated in the war diary printed on another page of this paper. Although our troops are successful in some degree, the advantages so far gained do not appear to have been of a charater commensurate with cost in casualties and treasure, or to bring the beginning of the end in sight. However, the British reinforcements swarming in the seaports and hurrying to tbe front will soon result in decisive action that will bring relief to the millions of anxious minds at home. The announcement that the reinforcements, amounting to half of the second army corps, are to be sent to South Africa immediately meets with approval. There i9 little doubt that a third division will follow as booh as possible, and it is very likely that the fourth will go soon after, thus raising the British force in the field to about 120,000. The total casualty list on the British side is now amounting to serious figures, being stated at 4,180; of whom 408 were killed, 1806 wounded and 1966 missing. The Modder River battle, which was fiercely fought and won by Gen. Methuen has been going the rounds of the press for a week, and is the latest reported at this writing. Private Deslauriers, of the Canadian contingent, who died on the fourth day after the transport Sardinian sailed, was 30 years old and belonged to the Princess Louise Dragoons, Ottawa, was unmarried and worked for Bate & Co. He was popular there, was of good physique and an athlete. THE CASCADE RECORD December 9,1889 CAVINO SYSTEM OF MININO. As a further indication of the enterprise and progress brought to play by Capt. J. R. De Lamar in his mining operations, we note especially the new system of mining inaugurated at his Mercur mines, says the Western Miner. We refer to the new "caving system" which has been adopted there in the vast ore bodies, and so far with marked success. This system though long practiced in the iron mines of Michigan and other middle states, is decidedly a novelty in the mining of gold and silver ore. The application of it to the mines of the Mercur district represents a decided land mark in the development and progress of western mining. Gradually but surely western men are perfecting their practices and processes in mining and accomplishing vast economies, not only in the treatment and saving of the precious metals, but also in the extraction of the minerals from mother earth. This last step undoubtedly effects an enormous saving in the cost of mining the ores of the Golden Gate mine a saving that is two-fold, first, in the reduction of labor, and second, in suppressing the vast cost of mine timbering, together with its inherent difficulties and dangers. When an output of 1,000 tons of ore per day raised from the depths varying from 200 to 800 feet can be made with a mine payroll of 250 men, and practically without timber-men or timbers, it is evident that some extremely cheap mining work is being done. While the ore cannot be called hard or difficult to break down, still air rock drills may be used in ihe work to good advantage. While the caving in system of mining is by no means capable of general application, it has a great field of usefulness and its introduction into other Rocky mountain mines will not be long delayed. The dangers of stopes and workings supported by rolling timbers are avoided. The vacancies left by extracted ore are at once filled in, whilst the displacement or disturbance of tho formation is more or less under control and the danger and extent of the necessary settling readily ascertained and circumscribed. The fact that the system has proven such a success and so far without any serious accident of any kind certifies both to the excellence of the system and to the ability with which it has been carried out. Accident at Old Ironsides. from the 200 to the 300-foot level, with Engineer W. O. Sanford at the lever. When it got away, the engineer became confused and the heavy iron ore bucket dropped on the head of Patrick Sullivan, who was working at the shaft, where he had a contract. Sullivan was quicklv taken to the Old Ironsides hotel, and Drs. Foster and Boucher sent for. It was found that the injured and insensible man had sustained serious injuries about the head, but which were not necessarily fatal. A Miner Injured. David Smith, a miner, met with a terrible accident at the Friend claim on Gold Hill Tuesday. Smith was in the act of picking up two sticks of giant powder that had heen placed near the fire to thaw, when an explosion occurred. Smith was terribly wounded about the face, groin and other parts of the body, and clothing was torn in shreds. He managed to crawl to the shaft and call his partner, Robt. Robinson. Dr. Arthur Burns was telephoned for and after treatment had Smith removed to the hospital.��� Republic Pioneer. An Editor Weds. $ The English Store | Donnan Reavis, of Republic, Wash., son of J. R. Reavis, editor of the Miner of that place, and Miss Blanch Eyer of Salt Lake were united in marriage recently, the ceremony being performed at Grand Forks. Mr. Donnan Reavis, like his father, is a journalist of the superior class, and will have full editorial and business management of Republic's first and only daily newspaper. The Record not only wishes that he and his bride may enjoy the full measure of conjugal bliss, but be abundantly prospered in the journalistic enterprise in which he has embarked.

Presumably Mr. McArthur may locate a townsite in that country which will not he in touch with Grand Forks, nor coverted by that grasping city. A townsite in the Holy Lands, one would suppose, would be less liable to annoyance than one in juxtaposition to the city at the forks, though it might not "boom" so readily. Not tbe Townsite Co's Fault this Time. Silas���What be yew grumblin' about ? Yew've got a good crop an' ther prices is good, too.

NOTE AND COMMENT. At the elections in Manitoba Thursday, the government was" defeated. It was a great surprise. The appointment of Mr. Beau- soleil, M. P., to the postmastership of Montreal, leaves seven vacancies in the House of Commons. Five are in Quebec, one in Ontario and one in Manitoba. There are also six vacancies in the Senate. The Dominion Government is about to appoint two special Commissioners of Commerce to visit the leading European countries to take whatever steps may be necessary for the development of trade between those countries and the Dominion. The fight in the U. S. congress, which has overshadowed all other matters since that body convened last Monday in its 56th session, is in relation to the seating or unseating of Representative Roberts, the polygamist representative ��� elect from Utah. It is probable that he will not be allowed to sit in congress, not so much because he is a polygamist as that he is a democrat, that being a greater sin in the eyes of the republican politicians than bigamy. In a recent interview with Thos. A. Edison, the great scientist says: "Chemistry undoubtedly proves the existence of a supreme intelligence. No one man can study that science and see the wonderful way in which certain elements combine with the nicety of the most delicate machine ever devised and not come to the inevitable conclusion that there is a big engineer who is running the universe. After years of watching the processes of nature I have no more doubt of the existence of an intelligence that is running things than I donl.t my own existence." An Tbcy Preachers, Too. Upon receipt of a cordial invitation from Rev. Mr. Bradshaw to join with the Methodist brethren in the dedicatory services of their new church we have decided not to hold service in Alberta hall on Sabbath morning (Dec. 3). Sabbath school will he held at 3 p. m., and service in the evening at 7:30. All are heartily overcome.���Grand Forks Miner. The above from the local columns of the Miner is the first information to come to this office that Messrs. Reavis & McCarter are operating in the dual role of conducting a newspaper and religious services under their firm title. IN AND AROUND CASCADE. The Uitlander club met this week at Miss Darrow's. Wm. Anderson has removed to the cottage recently vacated by the family of Jack Stewart. The Presbytery of Yale and Kootenay convenes at Grand Forks on Dec. 18. Rev. McCoy of this town will attend. Last night about 6 o'clock a blast was set off by the contractors on the electric plant foundation at the bridge which contained 80 kegs of powder. The railroad excursion came off as advertised, the train consisting of four coaches and containing about 170 excursionints, passed up the road Thursday and returned to-day. The booming of the blasts fired by S. R. Quinlivan's gang at the power-house excavation, might make one think the Boer army had transferred its field of operation to this vicinity. Republic has found itself short of many supplies owing to the horrible condition of the wagon roads between that place and Grand Forks. A strong argument for a railroad, or cause for berating the road officials of the new county. Joseph WilliamB���French Joe��� a drunken gambler, was killed by Deputy Sheriff Swan, at Republic last Tuesday night while resistii>g arrest. The deceased had threatened the life of Frank Keck, a local saloon keeper. A coroner's jury exonerated the deputy. W. E. Gillespie, Deputy Chief Ranger, Independent Order Foresters, accompanied by Mr. Atkinson, were in Cascade Wednesday. They were in Moyie, Cranbrook and Fort Steele, before coming here, where courts were established. They went from here to Columbia. The condition of the wagon roads like the Irishman's sick wife "gits no better pretty fast." No teams have been able to pass "the swamp" three miles south of town since December 4th thereby shutting off all traffic between the Spokane Falls & Northern, and Republic and the Boundary country, We print in all styles and colors.

They Hid a Rough Time, But Oot There. The Garfield Republican says: A family consisting of father, mother and four small children arrived in Garfield the first of the week from Iowa. They left Iowa for Baker City, Or., and on reaching Billings found their tickets had either been lost or stolen. The conductor on his own responsibility, took them to Helena, from which place they walked to Missoula, a distane of 126 miles, having but one meal a day, and the father carrying the youngest child and valise. At Missoula a brakeman looked the other way while the family got in to a box car, in which they were taken to Spokane. Charity helped them to Garfield. Here Jerome Kidwell took them to his home and kept them over night, and in the morning took up a collection of $8 for them. They were started to Colfax and advised to apply to the county officials for help. They did so, and were furnished with transportation to Baker City at the county's expense. Mr. J. C. Shook, who has shipped 300,000 feet of dry lumber into Grand Forks and Greenwood, intends building a large frost-proof warehouse there to furnish bunded accommodation for the heavy trade springing up hetween that place and Republic. He is ready to begin construction just as soon as the C. P. R. officiats decide upon the location of the warehouse. Notice.

BULLOCK-WEBSTER, Keremeos. rr��2 BOUNDARY HINES ��� Brief Bits Prom Many Camps. One hundred feet more are to be added to the tunnel in the Rawhide mine. A 20-drill compressor plant will soon be installed in the Mother Lode mine in Deadwood camp. A company is being incorporated to develp the Greyhound prospect in Deadwood camp. The distance frcm Eholt to the B. C. claims has been reduced to 14 miles by the building of a good wngon road. In the 300-foot level of the Winnipeg mine a blast in the blind ledge is reported to have shown up 40 feet of solid ore which assays $16. A 2-foot ledge in the Vancouver, in Wellington camp assays from $40 to $50 per ton. The big ledge exposed by the railroad grade is being worked energetically by 20 men on the Oro Denoro. In Central camp two prospect shafts will be sunk on the Norfolk. From a four-foot vein in an open cut in the Last Chance mine in Summit ramp, assays reaching $37.50 have been obtained. A compressor plant of 40-drill capacity will soon be placed in position to serve the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill mines. The Bengal, Badger and Bristol prospects in Deadwood camp, are to be developed immediately, and two shifts will be put to work. Twelve men are employed on the Enterprise and Anchor, the shaft already being down 70 feet. It has a horse whim. At the 130-foot level in the Golden Eagle samples assay 22 cents in copper and $7 in gold. The ledge was recently cut. Old Ironsides, Knob Hill and Dominion companies will soon be equipped with electric plants for fighting and other purposes. A 16-foot ledge ou the surface is found on the Silver Knot claim at Fisherman creek. A crosscut tunnel is being driven, and good copper assays have been obtained. Ore chutes, reported to be 11 in number, have been uncovered in the Iron Top group, in Deadwood camp. Four-hundred-ton bins have been built at the B. C, and the company expects soon to be shipping ore in largp quantities. The reservatiou properties, the Drummers and the Belcher mines, the former located near Curlew, about midway between Grand Forks and Republic, on the Washington side, the latter being only about twelve miles this side of Republic, at the head of Lambert reek, are reported to have yielded up good shipping ore in sufficient quantity and quality to cause the shouting headline "Big Strike," etc. to appear in the papers. There are quite a number of companies preparing and getting into shape in order to develop their properties, and Burnt Basin is likely to be a hive of industry before ihe coming summer is over. Judging by the surfacecroppings, there is very liable to be more than one Mother Lode with stamp batteries pounding on McRae creek before another year is over. Assay returns on quartz from the Alhambra mine, noar Gladstone, property of G. T. Curtis and Geo. Cameron, from an average on seven assays, show $43.54 in all values. Don't forget the Record Job Department when needing fine stationery. What Is Done With the Road Money ? A tax of $2.00 is being imposed on every male of the full age of 21 years. This is supposed to be a road and school tax. The school part is all right, but we would like to be shown where very much of it is put into the roads. Our highways are a disgrace to a civilized community. Between Midway and Christina lake a distance of over 50 miles, the munificent sum of $950 was appropriated for roads between these two points. In that distance there must be at least three or four thousand people, the majority of whom live outside of incorporated towns who pay $3.00 Where does all this money go to ? For Vancouver Island improvements or to swell the already large fee system of our government ?���Columbia Review. He Loved Money More Than Life. The body of a man was recently found sitting upright in a chair in his hut of a home near Corvallis, in the Wilamette valley, Oregon, with $4,500 in money and certificates of deposite in his lap. He had died for want of the necessaries of life. 8 THE CASCADE RECORD Dominion a Supply��Co., ���������������������������������������������������������^������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������^���-���-^^^ Main Street, Cascade, B.

The Salvation Army has established barracks at Greenwood, at present under the supervision of Capt. Haas. W. B. Willcox, of the Phoenix Pioneer, was in Cascade Monday and Tuesday, looking after his business interests here.

The former customs officer at Bossburg has been transferred to Grand Forks, where he supplants Mr. Palmer, who has gone to Port Townsend. There has heen another change in the passenger time on the Columbia & Western. The train from the west now arrives here at 2:32 instead of 3:32. The trains now cross at Columbia instead of Niagara. , A Grand ForkB city ordinance compels boys under 16 years of age to hie themselves to the parental roof before 9 o'clock p. in., it now being illegal for them to remain on the streets after that hour.
