Copper Street, Discusses the Location of His Bis Smelter- Railway Competition. , " We intend beginning- work immediately," said Jay P. Graves, when seen by a Timks representative regarding the smelting enterprise of the Granby Mining & Smelting Company. " Of course it will be impossible to have our works in running order until a railway reaches the district, but there is a large amount of preliminary work and this will be undertaken as soon as we have settled upon a site for a smelter." Mr. Graves has just returned, after spending the winter in�� Montreal and other eastern cities. During his absence he added the Granby Mining & Smelting Company to his list of successful flotations. This company intends erecting a large smelter to treat the ores of the Knob Hill, Old Ironsides' and the other properties represented by Mr. Graves. The object of Mr. Graves' present visit is to select a site for a smelter and begin work. - ���' " Where are you going to build your smelter?" he was asked. " We haven't settled upon that yet," he replied. " Personally I think Boundary creek, the most advantageous point, but there are serious objections, to the location of a smelter on Boundary, creek. I see Greenwood is growing very rapidly. It will continue to grow until it is a very large city. Your only source for water is Boundary creek. When you get a large population here, using Boundary creek \vat~-, I am afraid there would be little left for reduction works such as we contemplate erecting. Then again, the Midway Townsite Company have a record for several hundred inches of water from Boundary creek, and if we go above their source of supply we will get into trouble." " But if you go to Grand Prairie you will be in greater trouble with the farmers there." "Well, corporations are always in trouble," said Mr. Graves. " We expect trouble wherever we go. I am ready to listen to arguments in favor of any-location and would be very glad indeed if we could see our way clear to erect our smelter on Boundary creek, as it has the natural geographical posision." " Are you going to treat the ores of mine's outside of those held by yourself ?" was asked. " We are building the smelter," said Mr. Graves, " to treat our own ores. If we are in a position to treat the ores of other mines, and they are offered to us, we will do so." "In other words, if you can compete with the C.P.R. smelters ?" " Well, yes ; we would have to quote as low a rate as the C.P.R." " If you had no mines'in the district, would you invest your money in a custom smelter to compete with the C. P. R. ?" " With only one railway, having absolute control over transportation and fuel, I would not think of entering into competition against the C.P.R. in the smelting- industry. One is placed at too great a disadvantage."

"Most decidedly. The Boundary Creek district requires two railways." Mr. Graves went up to the Old Ironsides on Wednesday. He will spend several days in the district before returning to Spokane. IN FAVOR OF COBBIN'S ROAD. Rossland Liberals Endorse the Charter���Mid- ��� r way Taking Action. A largely attended meeting of the Rossland Liberal association was held Monday evening when the following resolution was unanimously passed : "Whereas railway competition is absolutely essential to the speedy development of the Boundary Creek country of West Kootenay district; and whereas public sentiment in the district is unanimously in favor of railway competition; and whereas an application is being made to the Dominion parliament by D. C. Corbin for a charter for the construction of a railway,'traversing a portion of the Boundary Creek country, which will be called the Kettle River Valley railway ';' aiid whereas the granting of such a charter and'the construction of said railway would be of the utmost benefit to the development of Southern British Columbia, and would insure the establishment of the smelting and mining industry under the most favorable conditions; and whereas, under the terms of the charter applied for, permission to construct said railway is only asked for, and no money subsidy or land grant or other bonus is asked for; therefore, Resolved, that in the opinion of the Liberal association of Rossland in open meeting assembled, it is not only desirable but . absolutely essential to the development and. up-building of the country that this railway should be constructed, subject to the government control of rates, and that the people are fairly and justly entitled to obtain the railway competition sought for, and that in order to render the accomplishment of this possible the Dominion parliament should grant the charter applied for by the said D. C. Corbin, thereby rendering an act of justice to the people of Southern British Columbia. And that a copy of this resolution be sent to the members of the Dominion government and to every member of the house of commons who represent constituencies in this province. A meeting was held at Midway Thursday evening when a committee was appointed for the purpose of drafting a resolution favorable to the Corbin charter. After the resolutions are prepared, they will be circulated for the endorsement of the residents of Midway. NEWS FROM OTTAWA. Interesting Items In Which Boundary. Creek Is Interested- Word has been received from Ottawa that Mr. Bostock's constituency is to be subdivided. A member will be given to the Kootenays and Southern Yale, and another to the remaining portion of what is now known as the Yale-Cariboo district. In the event of the district being so divided, it is probable that Mr. Bostock will run for the northern .district, although he has made such a good record that he could easily be elected iu the Kootenays. Eastern people generally are taking a greater interest in the Corbin charter. From all appeal auces the bill will pass the railway committee and the house of commons, but may be defeated in in the senate. Owing to family quarrels the Liberals are likely to lose Winnipeg. ���'Bob " Richardson, managing editor of the Tribune, does not love Sifton, and Sifton loses no opportunity of showing his dislike for Richardson. The Siftonites are anxious to run Isaac Campbell, O. C, while ordinary Liberals want J. If. Ashdowne. The return of a Conservative will probably convince the Winnipeg Liberals that it is better policy to light the enemy than to li^rht each other. E. A. Bielenberg has closed with Ruftis H. Pope. M. P.. for the s:de of the. Little Ruth and Xn. ') claims. These properties adjoin the Buckhorn on the south and have good showings of ore. The ore chutes from the linok- horn run into the No. 'J. It is understood that the properties will be taken over by the lluokhorn company, recently organized 1 y Mr. Pope and his associates. The consideration has not been made public. -_^w��luii > .aRrcfrcK.^ >UK'CS��Mtt��STW��..ir '���������III I --**����''��"~��� ��� t-rjuiranwtttaaaa THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, g H.

The reg-ular meeting- of the Commercial association, which is to be held next Wednesday evening-, should be laryely attended. The Corbin charter will come up for discussion. Another matter which should have the serious attention of the association is the location of the of the Granby Mining- and Smelting- company's smelter. Mr. Jay P. Graves, the managing- director of the company, has come to the district with an open mind on this question, and is prepared to 'build the smelter at the most advantageous point. He is anxious to secure all possible information on the subject. We do not think it would be a difficult matter to furnish Mr. Graves with strong- arguments in favor of Boundary creek in the vicinity ot Boundary Falls, as an excellent site. Mr. Graves has one or two objections to this site. He believes that Greenwood is going to be a very large city ; its only source for water supply is Boundary creek. With a large population at Greenwood using- Boundary creek water, he fears that there will not be sufficient left for large reduction works. This and one or two other minor objections could be discussed with Mr. Grayes. The association ought to interest themselves in this important matter, and see ,if it is not possible to meet Mr.- Graves' objections and offer such inducements as will lead his company to establish their smelter at'a point tributary to Greenwood. THE WORK OF A FAKIR. Wnir.K the application for the Kettle River Valley Railway charter was before the railway committee of the house of commons last season, the eastern newspapers were supplied with despatches from eveo'city in British Columbia protesting- ag-ainst the granting, of the charter. The despatches were cleverly concocted and had a; genuine appearance. They were prepared by a newspaper man then living- at Trail and sent free by the Canadian Pacific Railway company to the different eastern -'papers. The C. P. R. is beg-inning- early this year. It has secured the services; of a versatile Victoria newspaper man, who appears to to be a prince among- fakirs, as the following despatch, prepared in Victoria but dated at Spokane, will show : Spokane, Wash., March '30.���It is reported here that PresidentHill of the Great Northern Railway company intends to make this city a smelting center and furnish all transportation facilities required if the citizens will erect the smelter. The idea is to prevent THE SMKLTEK INDUSTRY GETTING ON A SOWD BASIS IN SOUTHEKN BRITISH Columbia, and incidentally to cut the C. P. R. out of this traffic. The purport of this despatch is apparent to every one familiar with the prejudice -which exists in the east ag-ainst having- Canadian ores treated on the American side. Those who know Jim Hill know that he is anything- but a fool and consequently would never think of erecting a smelter sin Spokane to treat Boundary Creek ores. If Mr. Hill is anxious to put money in smelters he will smelt Boundary Creek ores at home. ,'.- The attention of the Times has been < called to the fact that Government street from the city- limits to the end of the fill is in an almost impassable condition for the man)' teams hauling- lumber to the city. The street is full of holes into which the wheels run making- the hauling- of heavy loads to the city an impossibility. As there is a great scarcity of lumber in the city, an effort should be made to putothis' street in better condition. A few loads from the Government street cut placed in the worst holes would materially assist. W. H. Dorman, inspector of post- offices, spent Wednesday in the city. He corroborated the statements published in the Rossland Miner and appearing- elsewhere, relative to the delays in the mail service. Mr. Dorman is taking- the matter up with the American authorities, and hopes to have a better service in a short time. After reading: the editorial notes in the Grand Forks miner of last week, we are quite willing- to accept the statement that there has been no change of editors.

E. MALLETTE - - - AT SAWMILL. OFFICE. DELAYS IN MAILS. The Reason Is Given by Postoffice Inspector Dorman. Postoffice Inspector W. H. Dorman was in Rossland a few clays ago. He is endeavoring- to arrange a more expeditious mail service between Kootenay and Boundary Creek. Mr. Dorman stated to the Rossland Miner ttiat the principal cause for delay was that the postal clerk on the Spokane Falls & Northern has about three times as much work as he can possibly attend to; ' A large number of letters addressed to points in the Boundary Creek country come from Spokane and many more from Toronto and points in Eastern. Canada. He, has six hours before he gets to Marcus in /which to ' sort letters and papers. It is often the case-that he is unable to sort all that he receives. In this event he hands over the unsorted mail to the postoffi- ces in this city and in Nelson. The other day Postmaster Waclds received 800 letters from this clerk addressed to the Boundary Creek country, which he had to sort. A BIG FIGHT. , The Toronto World, discussing the rate war, says :'.. " The war is'already on. 7 The Great Northern has cut its rates to the coast and the ,C. P. R. will be obliged to follow suit.. Rate; cutting promises to become general within a short time. This certainly will happen unless Mr. Hill can be called off. The exciting cause of last year's war was alleged secret rate-cutting by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways. The trouble this year is of quite a different nature. British Columbia is the storm-center. The Great Northern lias a spur from Spokane, running into the rich mineral district .of Southern British Columbia. The outlook for business is so" promising that Mr. Hill is seeking to extend his lines in several directions throughout British Columbia In the first place, he wants a charter from the Dominion government for his so-called Kettle River railway. The ':. C. P. R. is opposing his application. Sir.William was the means of defeating the project during the last session of parliament. He is preparing to kill the project again when it comes up, as it will come up during, the present session.' Mr. Hill: does not intend to waste all his powder at Ottawa, nor is he going to wait till Sir William has outwitted him before he begins the fight. The cut.rate announced by the Great-Northern a week ago is the first shot that has been fired over the Kettle River project this season. The battle promises to be,a fierce one. Jim Hill has put on his war paint and feathers. He is preparing- for a war to the knife. His plan of campaign is many-sided. It is not limited to a mere cut in rates. Mr. Hill has started an agitation to discredit the C. P. R. in the United States. He has secured the aid of several influential journals in the west to excite the American public against the C. P. R. On one of the St. Paul papers he has appointed an editor who is specially qualified to carry on the fight against the Canadian corporation. There is no doubt that Mr. Hill has it' in his power to greatly iujui-e the C. P. R. as far as its United States business is concerned. When the Americans learn of Sir William Van Home's attempts to keep the Great Northern out of Canada they will not be disposed to treat the C. P. R. with much consideration. President Hill has excellent material to work on in exciting antipathy against the C. P. R. in United States territory. We are not astonished to see that Sir William Van Home he's taken fright and has sent an emissary to St. Paul to sue for peace. From what we know of President Hill, we believe that the withdrawal of the C. P. R. opposition to the Kettle River railway will be a condition precedent to any settlement of the dispute. THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW Meets With Considerable Opposition in Koote- ��� >,nav District. Kootenay is excited over the enforcement of the eight-hour law recently enacted by the provincial legislature. .The chief objection comes from the mine owners who do not wish to pay the same wages for eight hours as was paid for a longer day heretofore. The following despatch from Nelson shows that there is considerable opposition to the eight-hour law in that city : " There continues to be a great deal of interest taken in the results of the recent legislation limitin^/the hours of work underground to eight .hours, and the general closing down of the mines seems more and more probable. All the more important mining companies which are operating here have decided to close down if the trouble ends in an increased cost of the work. " The business men are also taking the matter up, and to-dajr the principal merchants and mine operators met, and decided to draw up two petitions praying the government not to enforce the law until next 'session". Two dis- ' tinct petitions will be circulated. One by the mining men and one by the business men. Mayor Neelands has been appoin ted delegate of the business men to take the petition to Victoria and interview the minister of mines on the subject, and Captain Duncan, manager of the Duncan mines, and J. J. Campbell, manager of the Hall Mines company, have been appointed the representatives of the mining men w.ith the same object. It .is generally agreed that the next week or' two will decide the prosperity or otherwise of the next two or three" years in the history of the mining districts of British Columbia." Divine service will be held in Rendell's hall on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. A cordial invitation is extended to all. MODEL CAFE. " W. R. Courts, Prop.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1899-04-08 |
Description | The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
