MM -c ��^_ THE CASCADE RECORD Published in the Interests of the Boundary and Christina Lake Mining Districts / Vol. II. CASCADE, B. C, MARCH 24, 1900. No. 20. c l/~\ THEDYKEHEADSHOWINGUP J. K. Kelley's Claims on Sutherland Creek Improving with Explorations. ASSAYS RUN FROM $15 to 961 PER TON The Dykehead only three Miles from Cascade Between the Railroad and Christina Lake. J. K. Kelley has got a mine, not only in his mind, hut as an actual fact. He deserves to have a good one, for through thick and thin he has persisted in developing it. It is right along side of of the C. P. R. hetween it and Christina lake. There is now but little douht, if any, that Kelley's group of mines at the point mentioned, will before many months be the scene of mining operations on a large scale. Mr. Kelley writes Frank Hutchinson, who has several good claims on Christina lake, among which is the Elmore, that he has struck shipping ore on the Dykehead claim, where the principal work has at present been done. There are 18 inches of chipping ore that goes upwards of $50 per ton gold and copper. Besides this payelreak there is another 20 feet of a ledge that runs $15. Work is now being pressed upon the property to ascertain the extent ef the ledge. BURNT BASIN MINES News Comes that the Ledge has been Met in the Avon Information has been conveyed to the Roi-sluiid Miner that the ledge has been met in the Avon tunnel. The tunnel on the Avon has heen driven in for a distance of 105 feet, and the ledge was encountered on Friday, and the work of crosscuting it had just been commenced when the messenger who carried the news in left the property. Tho Cascade has a shaft on it which is now down 40 feet. There is also a tunnel which has been driven for 100 feet. A contract has been let for an additional 100 feet of tunnelling, which iB to be completed by June 1. The depth then attained at the end of the working will be between 150 and 200 feet. The ore upon this property asnays from $20 to $40, the width of the lead being from three to four feet. School Inspector's Visit. Mr. William Burns, B. A.,school inspector for the districts of Yale and Kootenay, spent Monday afternoon and Tuesday forenoon at the school here. He came at an unfortunate lime, as only six pupils were present, the rest being at home more or less ill from the effects of vaccination. If Mr. Burns had come last week, be would have had a better opportunity to form a correct estimate of the work done in the school. MUTUAL AID SOCIETY SOCIAL. An Interesting Programme���Delicious Refreshments���Amusing Oames. The social held by the Mutual Aid Society of Cascade on Thursday evening was a pronounced success in the matter of enjoyment, although, in the matter of attend* a nee, it was not equal to the socials held of late by the society. As the room was not so crowded as usual, those present entered into Ihe different games and other amusements with a great deal of spirit, and appeared to enjoy themselves thoroughly. Mr. John Simpson acted as chairman during the evening. The genial face of Mr. McCoy was very much missed, and his musical talent was also greatly missed. Mr. Stocker, however, was on hand as usual, and delighted the audience with his singing, especially with his song in the Yankee dialect, which gave a great deal of amusement to hiB hearers. Miss Darrow's instrumental music was highly appreeiated,as were also the readings of Messrs. Kelman and Simpson, and the recitation of Mr. Ritchie. The singing and instrumental music of Mrs. M. J. Quinlivan, who a short time ago came from Priceville, Ontario, ami took up her abode in our midBt, were greatly admired. This lady has a sweet voice, and produces most melodious strains from the violin. It is to he hoped that she will favor the society on another occasion with additional proofs of her musical ability. After the regular programme had been rendered, Mr. Reeves and others delighted the audience with songs and instrumental music. Three charades were also acted, the words represented being "mushroom," "'Tebo" and "sausage," the words used for the syllables of the last word being "sauce" and "age." Mr. Ritchie's representation of the word "age"\vas especially praiseworthy. The refreshments, which were abundant and of good quality, were distributed under the superintendence of Mrs. Wolverton and Miss Cameron. Al) took part in this part of the programme with evident relish. After the distribution of the re freshments, games of different kinds were indulged in. The expression, "Bologna Sausage," was also represented as a charade, Miss Cameron and MessrB. Kelman, Ritchie and Simpson taking part. The latter word was represented by the words "saw" and "sage," and the able manner in which Miss Cameron wielded ihe saw produced envy in the breasts of the male sex present. The amusements of this thoroughly enjoyable evening came to an end shortly before midnight. AUSTRIA vs. CHINA. Sam Sing and John Estocb Engage In a flame of Cards and a Foot Race. The war clouds floated close over Cascade the first few days of this week. Last Saturday was pay-day for one or more of the gangs working on the big flume. Indulgence in "Ohbejoyful,"which usually follows pay-day resulted in several scrapping bouts, which tended to relieve the monotony of unemployed loungers, Only one of the affairs however proved to be of sufficient proportions to enlist the attention of the authorities. This was the difficulty hetween Sam Sing and John Estocb, an Austrian, and recent arrival. These two gentlemen were playing cards Tuesday afternoon. Sam's luck was good and he was raking in the Austrian's money which wrought him up to the fighting pitch. Sam seeing there was liable to be a lively time for him if he tarried at the game, drew down his money and started to leave, and the Austrian followed, both on the dead run. Sam ran to his washhouse, his pursuer arriving there at about the same time, hut the frightened washerman succeeded in getting inside. The Austrian, not to be thus easily foiled, took a club and began smashing in the doors and windows. At this stage of the game, Oflicer Widdicombe appeared on the scene aud put the odstrep<*ous John Es- toch under arrest. From this on the trouble for John assumed a different phase. He was taken to Her Majesty's lockup and held there till 4.30 Wednesday afternoon, when he was brought before Justice Rochussen. On pleading guilty of the charge laid against him, the Justice sentenced the prisoner to 30 days at hard labor. Provincial Officer D. J. Darraugh arrived on Thursday's train and took the prisoner away. THE RAPID STA6E LINE Stage Line Between Cascade and Bossbnrg again in Operation. BELL & DUNCAN THE PROPRIETORS. To Run Through in Pour 'Houra..Ck��e Railway Connections at Cascade and Bon- burg will Be Made. The Canadian Pacific has recently reduced its passenger rates in Manitoba to three cents a mile. Next week Messrs. Bell & Duncan will start a stage line between Cascade and Bossburg. They formerly owned and operated a line between these points, but owing to severe competition sold out last year to G. W. Williams. The roads are in fairly good condition now, the stock having had a long rest is in fine shape, and it is expected that the run between here and Bossburg will be easily made in four hours. It is claimed by the promoters of this line that it will he as heretofore the popular and least expensive route to all points in the Boundary for travellers from the south and east. There is much travel between rervation points, and as the time for opening the north half approaches, that travel will increase tenfold. Tbe head quarters of the stage line and its office at this end will be at the Hotel Cascade. C. H. Thomas,tbe enterprising proprietorr will enlarge his stable room by the addition of 30 or 40 feet to his barn for the accommodation of the stage horses. DROWNED IN THE KETTLE RIVER. A Rancher Named J. S. Sutherland and Two- Hones Engulfed In Its Angry Waters. Word came to town Wednesday that a man named J. S. Sutherland, while attempting to ford the Kettle river with his two-horse team near the Manly ranch, a week ago yesterday, was drowned, together with the horses. At nny rate such it the supposition at this writing, as the wagon nnd dead horse were discovered Tuesday by it party floating logs down the stream, and Mr. Sutherland had not been seen since the previous Friday. At last accounts search was being made for the unfortunate man's body. Sutherland was well known here, and bought some of the live stock sold here by Deputy Sheriff Cooper recently. At low water the Kettle river is fordahle at the point where the accident happend,hut the melting snow had swollen the river beyond the victim's calculations. He is said to have relatives in Ontario. jwu.it. www���������"** r"-r ' asai THE CASCADE RECORD M.reb M, 1101 ^S ���T mi TttE: B. C.

ALL IS NOT QOLD THAT GUTTERS. When one ..tops to study himself, his surroundings, iu tlie light of experiences; when he compares the retrospective with the prospective results, the weaknesses of hit judgment and calculation are clearer to his mental vision, than when hope, the anchor of the soul, was chiefly the basis of his action. Hope, or wish, inspires thought along pleasant lines and thought begets action in conformity therewith, while that action may he entirely devoid of foundation other than the desire which prompted it. RecogVizing these conditions in humanity generally, men of mental force and physical energy push themselves to the front and by artful manoeuvering secure a following that builds for them colossal fortunes upon purely speculative ideas. These methods are nowhere more fully demonstrated than iu auriferous mining districts. A prospect of gold-bearing quartz is discovered, assays are made of the product which gives great promise. Capital apparently unlimited is secured to develop the prospect, and before any positive results are reached or the actual and lasting value of the mine has heen demonstrated, its promotors have reaped a rich harvest from incidental speculations. Eager investors have been loaded with the ���company's paper, townsites have been sold at enormous figures, a few men made independently rich, but when the deception can no longer be hidden, then comes the collapse. That there are rich gold bearing veins in the Boundary country, and that many of them are to-day being developed, there cau be no question. That these developments will continue, no one will attempt to deny. But all of the mines so worked will not prove bonanzas. Between the developing stages and ultimate results many failures will be experienced. It is beginning to be apparent that as regards the smelting feature premature and illy considered steps have been taken in the Boundary. The chancier of the ore has not been sufficiently proven, and locations have not been chosen with the best of care. In a neighboring community today ominous mutterings are heard relative to the expenditure of large sums on an industry upon which the future of the town largely depends. There is said to be trouble in the directorate, the management has been changed; the undertaking has cost already vastly more than estimates called for, and the creating of water powers where none exist is proving serious and extremely expensive work. And when the great work shall have been com pleted, it is now claimed that the created water power will he insufficient for the requirements, and the invested capital will not be able to receive the profit to which it is justly entitled. Thus the speculator in human blindness, or more properly, in his cupidity, striving to reap where he has not sown, attempts to create.or in the language of tlie day, to "boom," which attempt does and must result in a collapse, bringing loss to the investor and distrust and ill repute lo the community in which he operates. Cascade has theonly water power on Kettle river. It is now under development, and when completed, will have a minimum of 10,000 horse power, fully developed. Manufacturing or other industrial establishments contemplating locating in the Boundary are invited to investigate this claim. GOING RIGHT AHEAD. Notwithstanding the general in* activity among investors owing to war conditions of a more or less doubtful character for a time; regardless of labor disputes in some sections of the province; despite uncertainties and misgivings due to the muddle scheming politicians have made of governmental affairs; ignoring the general alarm caused by the "tempest in a teapot" in the small-pox matter; paying no heed to Bradstreet's blanket-libel publications, the mining industries in the Boundary country are pursuing the even tenor of their ways, if anything, with increased vigor and success. New prospects, new leads, new strikes, new machinery and additional investments are reported daily. The coining season will he one of greater development and successes than has been witnessed in any former summer. The residents of this part of British Columbia have reason to be thankful on account of the comparative mildness of the climate. Here there is not a speck of snow down in the valleys. The last of it disappeared some time ago. The snow on the mountains is also rapidly disappearing. Fires are scarcely needed in our dwelling houses during the day time except for cooking purposes. The birds are singing sweetly and the wild flowers are in bloom. In Eastern Canada and the eastern part of the United States it is different. There the snow is two or three feet deep on the level, and in drifts it is sometimes ten or twelve feet deep. Even in the streets of New York the snow is eight inches deep. BRIEF LOCAL MENTION We understand that Frank Corte has entered action in the Division court at Grand Forks to recover damages resulting in the sale of his property here recently by Deputy Sheriff Cooper. The amount sued for is said to be $600. Mr. Warden, civil engineer at the War Eagle mine in Rossland, was here this week visiting engineer Wm. Anderson, an old time acquaintance. Mr. Warden returned home Wednesday, having spent four days in Cascade. Wednesday, March 21, being Mrs. G. K. Stocker's birthday, a few of her lady friends gathered at her home in the afternoon, to enjoy her society and hospitality on the occasion. In the evening several gentlemen found their way to Laurel Ridge and "tout ensemble'' a pleasant time was passed. Having completed the depot the C. P. R. paintere are now dressing up the section house. Two Grand Forks photographers were in Cascade this week, plying their art on some of our superior landscape scenery. F. E. Tebo, our pleasant and accommodating C. I*. R. agent, has had a pretty severe struggle to keep on his feet and attend to business since submitting his arm to the vaccine fiend. The Devon BroB., proprietors of the Roma hotel, are erecting a fruit and vegetable stand between their hotel and John Lyngholm's store ou First avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Tout, of Lincoln, Nebraska, arrived in Cascade Monday last, and proceeded to the home of Mr. Thos. Price, at Sutherland Siding. Mrs. Tout is Mr. Price's youngest daughter. Mr. and Mrs Tout have come with the intention of remaining permanently. YALE-COLUMBIA LUMBER SYNDICATE Neiotlatlai lor the Pa-chase ef the Earle Sawaill la Cascade. Negotiations have been pending for some time between John Earle. proprietor of the Cascade sawmill, and Messrs. Genelle and Blue, of the Yale-Columbia lumber syndicate, for the transfer of the local mill to the latter parties. If the sale takes place, as is expected, the mill will be moved to a point on the river about one-fourth of a mile above the dam, where it will be set in operation. Messrs.

Manley writes from Ottawa to parties at Grand Forks that the chances for the passage of the Kettle River Valley railway franchise bill are very promising. The bill has passed its second reading iti committee. A Huge Political Scandal. A dispatch to the Nelson Tribune says the political situation on the Coast unmistakeably indicates that both parties are drifting into party lines. At a meeting of the executive of the Liberal Association a resolution was carried unanimously calling a provincial convention of Liberals in this city on Thursday April 5th. A great sensation was caused here by the World publishing correspondence between Premier. Martin and the officials of the lands and works department relating to letters patent granted on November 18th last, issued by the Semlin government, granting the New Vancouver Coal Company the coal areas under the Nanaimo harbor, suit for the ownership of which was still pending between the Dunsmuirs and the coal company. Attorney-general Henderson issued orders that the publication of the document )>e withheld from the Gazette, so as to keep the matter quiet. It is generally regarded as the liugest political scandal ever perpetrated in this province. Should Not Be an Issue of Rival Cities. The issue on the coast is not one of politics or policies; it is one of towns. It is Vancouver against Victoria. The lower^ Fraser valley supports Vancouver and the Island constituents support Victoria. The interior, and more especially Bast and West Kootenay and Southern Yale, is the only section of the province in no way interested in this fight between rival towns. The eight members that will be elected to the next legislature from the Kootenays and Yale should be men able and willing to lead and not follow. They should compel the factionists on the coast to follow, and for a while be hewers of wood and carriers of water for the people who are making British Columbia one of the most prosperous provinces in the Dominion.���Nelson Tribune. __^_ The wages of section men working on tbe Columbia & Western, it is stated, have been out down to $1.50 a day. With board at $5.25 per week, the "Jerries" will not get rich, but it may enable the C. P. R. to pull through. MR. RODERICK McRAE SELLS OUT. C. H. Thomas and Samuel Handy the Purchasers. Sam Handy and C. H. Thomas have formed a partnership for the purpose of conducting a draying and livery business. They have purchased the city water hauling business from Mr. Roderick McRae and hereafter will attend to supplying onr citizens with water until the city is provided with a regular system of waterworks. BRIEF LOCAL MENTION There are said to be upwards of 10 cases of smallpox in Republic. The Rossland Miner makes the statement editorially that the C. P. R. has purchased the Grand Forks Daily Gazette. The Ferry county (Wash.) Republican convention will meet at Republic to-day. It will be composed of 40 delegates. Mr. Stanley Mayall left on last Saturday evening's train for Victoria, where he intended to remain for a week or ten days. During the past two weeks of beautiful spring weather, many of our citizens have improved tbe opportunity to visit the big dam of the Cascade Water and Light Co., which affords a grand waterfall scene. Our citizen are proud of the new railway station house at this point. It has been dressed in a neat shade of light drab paint. The carpenters are putting the finishing touches to the interior. Altogether- it is an ornament to the town. NOTE AND COMMENT, Tbe present spirit of the Britisb press compared with its tone while the Boers were winning victories,, reminds one of tbe story of the little boy who had to go through a piece of woods alone to reach hie home. He prayed the Lord to- protect bim from all barm by wild beasts, but when he emerged into the clearing he thanked the Lord and told Him he had no iuther need of His services. When the Boers were gaining victories the British press was alarmed lestsome other country interfere on behalf of their enemy in the field. Now, however, all other nations are warned tbat if they interfere they will get their mugs slapped. She's got through the woods. The people of Republic and Keller are sure tbe Great Northern R. R. Co. will give them a railroad during the coming summer. ^IM 6 THE CASOADE RECORD March 24, IMS KKCacacSKK2CaCS23CaeaK2S3CSCSK2K2K2K:CS2K:K2K2K2CaKK2 MERE'S A POINTER.

Keep your eye on Cascade. The town of Ferguson wants n tailor. The Martin war casts the late South African difficulty into the Abyss of oblivion. Hon. Smith Curtis has been investigating the labor troubles in Rossland this week. It is published that a Liberal convention bas been called to meet at Vancouver April 5th. Does "Liberal-Conservative" mean to "carry water on both shoulders," "good Lord-good devil,"' or something of that sort ? British losses up to March 11 were 15,677. Of these, 2418 were killed in action, 8747 were wounded 1028 died of disease; nnd 3473 were missing. The proportion of killed as to wounded was as 29 to 100. Official reports from Pretoria state that the Boer losses, prior to the relief of Ladysmith and Kimberly, were 4531, of which 677 were killed, and 2128 wounded. The proportion here of killed to wounded is as 32 to 100. C. H. Wolf, manager of the Deer Trail Consolidated Mining company has received word from Bossburg that at the end of a 142-foot crosscut on the fifth level of the Bananza mine seven feet of shipping ore of the charatei- usual to that mine lias been opened. The search for the ore shoot on this level has been tedious. Before the old Spokane company sold the mine to tbe Deer Trail Consolidated corporation search was being made for this ore bod v. Tbe Strathcona Horse embarked from Halifax for South Africa last Saturday.. '] Monday being its pay-day at Nelson the C. P. R. disbursed about $20,000 in that town. The Bossburg Journal says that the Pontifex mining company, operating on Huckleberry mountain, recently purchased a bill of supplies in that town amounting to $400. The Russian will be the next semi-barbarous nation to feel tbe on coming of the forces of civilization. It is true that much of the modern civilization smacks somewhat of legalized crime and prostitution, stilLit is belter than the "divine rights of kings" methods. Our Canadian exchanges are claiming that the Imperial government was not pleased a little bit at President McKinley's mediatorial offer. That it was made in good faith there is little room for doubt, but tbat it was not made from a wholly disinterested standpoint there is much room for doubt. We do not hesitate to say that pervading every part of American society there is a mental reservation of sympathy for the BuerH, and the outward show to the contrary is for business and diplomatic purposes only. The Canadian Patriotic Fund has reached the $200,000 mark. P. BURNS & CO.'S KABfKT K^ARKET. fislj anb Oysters, giue anb ftresseb Poultry WEINERWURST AND SAUER KRAUT. F. GRIBI, r\gr.

CASCADE CITY, BRITISH COLUMBIA The local delegates to the recent Liberal - Conservative convention held at Nelson returned Saturday, says the Greenwood Times, which paper was informed that the meeting was practically unanimous in all its proceedings. Among the resolutious passed was one bearing on party lines in provincial elections. It was decided to run forthcoming elections on strictly party lines. Regarding the vital question of the eight-hour law and the stand the party would take on the same, it appears to have had no direct endorsement as at the New Westminster convention last fall. It was neither approved nor disapproved. The convention pledged its support and confidence in Chas. Wilson, Q. C, as leader of the Province and also demanded that the Boundary district be given a member. The Boundary district was represented by-the following delegates: H. C Shaw, H. T. Wilgress, Clive Pringle, A. Etewart Potts and James Kerr, Greenwood; W. H. Cochrane, Phoenix; A. W. Ross, Columbia, and A. Askew, Grand Forks.
