Vol. II, GREENWOOD CITY, B,C��� SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1897. 33 TOPICS TOR THE WEEK. No, 7, ^fTjOHF question of the incorporation of Greenwood as a JL city is being* much discussed, and on general principles the majority of the property owners are, we think, favorable to the proposal. Those, however, who are dubious reg*arding* the advisability of immediate action being taken that would irrevocably commit the town to a system of local government, arg*ue that in view of the comparatively small population now resident in Greenwood, the burden of taxation must, if the necessary reforms and contemplated improvements are carried into effect, fall very heavily on their shoulders. This. arg*ument is not unwisely advanced, althoug-h in many cases where it has been put forward the conclusion hardly followed from the premises. The only sensible way to arrive at a conclusion worth considering is to calculate the probable sources of revenue and expenditure in the event of .incorporation. As append the following rough estimate,: It is to be hoped that provision will be made in the supplementary estimates for the continuation of the salary paid for the last two years to Dr. Jakes, as resident physician of the Kettle River district. The grants made last year, to resident physicians in several sections of the province were not included in this year's estimates ; but the attention of the government has been drawn to the fact that, circumstances *-��� *-*"*- -"-1- -L1- -��� allowance in the case of Dr. a g-uide we EXPENDITURE.

It is safe to say that few . medical men in the country have earned so, thoroughly the by no means liberal sum granted by the g-overnment as has, Dr. Jakes. Further, he has recently been appointed local medical health officer, without salary. As the government . has never been asked to contribute towards the building* of the well-equipped hospital in Greenwood���an institution that compares favorably with any of the private nursing establishments in the Coast cities���there is no excuse why the small assistance required to retain the services of a competent physician in the district should not be given. jSJe. -***��� ails.

The Opposition will move in committee " That a bonus and land grant cannot be held by the same party ; a company holding* a land grant can only ,be entitled to a.cash bonus by surrendering* land grant.'' Mr. Graham has g-iven notice of an amendment to the Railway Ivoan Bill as submitted, "That construction in 'East Yale niust.be commenced at Penticton within six months from the passage of the Bill, and must be carried on continuously until completed."

A simple yet appropriate means of commemorating the felicitous event would be to build a monument of Boundary Creek ores and having perhaps a slab of white quartz which, polished and engraved, would signify the occasion of the erection of the monument. A public meeting should be called,to consider the matter. CONCERT. On Wednesday night the schoolroom was crowded by a thoroughly appreciative audience on the occasion of the concert given by the ladies of Greenwood.

The British investor is already sufficiently chary of British Columbia idvestments, and if this sort of thing goes on it is not to be wondered at. A correspondent here writes to (say) a firm of brokers in Iyondon offering a block of stock at the local market price, which is 10c.

Mr. Galloway's first song*, "Eileen Alannah," the chorus being* sung- by a choir of voices in harmony, and " I'll remember thee " (Balfe), sung as a duet by Mrs. McArthur and Mr, Furness, were perhaps the most successful efforts of the evening*. Mr. Furness possesses a well trained high baritone voice of good quality and power. Mr. Kelly also sang well.

The Smuggler, Fairview. The report issued by the directors of the Smuggler Co. says : During March one of the greatest strikes in the history of gold mining on this continent was made. On March 22nd a telegram was received from Mr. Dixon as follows : '' Ore shows free gold and tellur- ide. Have struck a bonanza. Vein has every appearance of being permanent. The ore body is increasing in width." This telegram was confirmed by letters and a sample of 20 pounds of the ore was assayed in Toronto by Dewar & Son, whose report states that the sample contained arsenical pyrites and a small quantity of telluride of gold and silver. The assay returns gave 84 ozs. gold to the ton, value $1,680, and 11 ozs. silver, value $7.15, total $1,687.15. Such a rich return at the 125 foot level is said to have never been equalled by any mine in America. CAMP McXlNNEY MOTES. The Cariboo M. & M. Co. have raised up the shaft,from the No. 2 level perpendicular and are sinking down to the No. 3 level, below which the shaft will then be continued. The old shaft was an incline. All the ore has been stoped from the No. 1 and No. levels and the men are now working at the No. 3. The new compressor has arrived and will shortly be placed in position. The shoes and dies have not yet been received and consequently the mill is being worked very slow. Three 8-hour shifts have been put to work on the Minnehaha. The double- compartment shaft is how down 40 feet and shows a six-foot lead of fine ore at the bottom. Assessment work was completed last week on the Mountain Sheep, adjoining the Minnehaha on the south. A lead nearly 20 feet wide has been exposed by surface crosscuts, the ore, which is free milling, running from $7 to $12. The claim is owned by Dan I/indeburg. An assessment is to be done shortly on the Fontenoy, when the property will be crown granted. The Old England, upon which work is now going on, looks well. MINING NOTES. B. A. Bielenberg went up to work on the Anadonda, Deadwood camp, on Sunday. The owners of the Smuggler mine have leased the Strathyre Company's mill at Fairview for six month. The Boundary Falls shaft has been timbered down to its present depth and sinkingc will probably be started in a few days. The flow of water into the No 7 shaft is beginning to be troublesome, and it -was found necessary this week to put another horse on the whim. Jack: Harlan left last week for Spokane. Upon his return he and his partner, E). C. Brown, intend going over to the Similkameen to prospect. Jim Dale has uncovered a body of rich quartz two feet wide on the Combination, in Smith's camp. There is also a three-foot ledge of plumbago on the claim. The pump ordered some weeks ago from Rossland for the Jewel was delivered at Marcus, but until the roads are in a better condition it will probably be stored there. Meanwhile water, which pours into the shaft very rapidly, is hoisted out by the slow bucket process, and but for the 10-foot sump work would have been stopped ere this. Good headway is being made in the drift. w #^#####*######### wghB wgky w$v <4p? w^u* ~<j&r W. i/��� ARMSTRONG. ^��*?es>*5xi*����5��"-S53i^ ��dt>T -"WgfcT *&r L. Y.

McAULEY & McCUAIG, Proprietors, i'. i! j ii THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, fHE RAILWAY POLICY. Mr. C. Shaw, CE.,when asked what he thought of the amendments the Government have offered to the Railway Eoan Bill, expressed himself as being very well satisfied. He said : " You see the original bill would have just killed Us. The Dominion government were only prepared to subsidise the V. V. & E. provided the Provincial government showed their approval by also assisting* the construction of the line. If we had g*one to the Dominion for a bonus, and the Railway I<oan Bill as first drafted had been made law, they would have answered us ' Why, your scheme cannot be much good when your local g-overnment won't help you ; they are bon using* Heinze and the . C.P.R., not your company.' As it is, we expect to get the usual bonus from the Dominion of $3,200 per mile, and Mr. Blair (the minister of railways) further agreed to the reasonableness of the demand that double the customary bonus, or $6,400 per mile should be given for the building- of some portions of the line where the engineering difficulties were exceptionally great." Mr. Shaw is fairly certain that a section of the V. V. & E. from Okanag-an Falls to Boundary Creek will be constructed this year. He thinks Okanag-an Falls will be the starting point, and when that section is completed communication will be established between Vernon and Boundary, as the steamboat will run down from Penticton to the" Falls directly the Okanag-an river is straightened and a dam put in at the foot of the lake to keep its level up to hig*h water mark. The most expensive part of the line <r to build will be in the vicinity of Chilliwhack, where the road bed will have to be raised above hig*h water mark ; up the Tulameen river ; for some distance down the west fork of Rock creek; and for parts of the way between Christina and Robson. The mnnicipality of Chilliwhack will probably assist the construction of the line in that neighborhood. Proposed Change in the Mining Laws. News-Advertiser : Important changes in the mining law are embodied in the report of the mining* committee presented to the House last" week. It is recommended that miners' licenses be issued only to British subjects or aliens declaring their intention of becoming- such and taking out naturalization papers. Any person obtaining a crown g-rant will be entitled to purchase the surface rig-hts at $5 an acre ; and in case of adverse claims the burden of proof of informality in the contested location will be upon the person filing* the adverse, instead of the original locator being* required to establish his rights as at present. New Buildings on Copper Street. The erection of a larg*e two-storey building 24x50 ft. has been commenced by Mr. John Hamill on Copper street. The building", which is admirably situated for the purpose, is to be partitioned into offices and rented. Several applications have already been made for rooms, chiefly by professional men. Mr. Hamill further proposes to build on the adjoining lot at the corner of Copper and Greenwood streets, a three- storey block. He has recently boug*ht a number of lots in Greenwood, in addition to those purchased last fall, and has great faith in the future of the town. Work is to be resumed on the Adirondack, Kimberley camp, in a few days. nansttOBcnn? Rossland. Greenwood. LIAVITED LIABILITY.

Messrs. T. McDonnell and J. Frank have bonded the Dong*ola, Geo. Hurst and three other claims in McKinney to Mr. T. H. Calland, of Vancouver. Messrs. Wenrick and Frank Chadler left on Tuesday to prospect up Kettle river. They are grub-staked by Messrs. Robt.' Wood, McMann and Olson & Phelan. . Some very fine ore is being* taken out of the War Eagle claini, on Rock creek, owned by Copelandand Yonkin. At a depth of 40 feet in the shaft the ledge has been found to be fully 16 feet wide. "The ore is almost clean copper pyrites. Rossland Miner : The underwriting* is being obtained of the Adams (B.C.) Company, organized with a capital of ,��100,000 in ��1 shares. The company acquires 21 claims in Kootenay and Boundary*, including the Skylark in Ainsworth camp, Bon Ton in Kaslo district, the Mt. Adams group in the ^Slocan, the Mammon near Trail, the Cordick in Boundary Creek, and the Okanagan divide group. Capt. Adams is to be the local managing* director. The purchase price of these properties is to be ��77,000, of which ��2,000 is to be paid in cash and the balance in fully paid up shares. The working* capital will amount to ��23,000.

Work Started on the Golden Crown. On Wednesday a 300-foot cross-cut tunnel -was started on the Golden Crown, the property of the Brandon & Golden Crown Mining Company, - in Wellington camp. The tunnel is designed, to cut through all three ledges and will prove the claim to a considerable depth. Work will be carried on under the supervision of Messrs. Collins and Porter. Fractions Staked near the Mother Lode. The other day a prospector, named Martin Welsh measured the Primrose claim, adjoining the Mother Lode in Deadwood camp, and found that it was 2,300 feet in length from the No. 1 to the No. 2 post. He consequently staked off a 700-foot fraction which he called the Tenbrook, north of the Primrose and west of the Mother Ivode. When the Mother Ivode was surveyed recently Mr. Coryell found that a fraction existed on the north between it and the Copper King. He informed Mr. Keffer of the fact, who staked the Don Julio fraction which is 200 feet wide. To Sink on the No. 7. Instructions have been received by the local manager of the Boundary Mines Company to carry the present shaft on the No. 7 down another 100 feet,, thereby .proving the vein to a depth of 250 feet. At 50 and 100 feet ,respectively crosscuts will be run to tap the ledge, the sinking being.down in soft rock about eight feet away from the ore body. A steam pump has been ordered by the company for the No. 7, and will be installed in the course of the next few weeks. CAMP McKINNEY NOTES. The first payment has been made on the Climax claim, adjoining the Cariboo and bonded to an eastern syndicate. Work is to be started shortly on the Fraser, owned by Mr. Hugh Cameron. Mr. Newman one of the owners of the O.K. mine at Rossland, visited the camp last week and was very favorably impressed with the great showings on the Cariboo, Minnehaha and other properties. The Victoria ledge has widened considerably lately. The Minnehaha mine is shortly to be equipped with a 40 h.-p. boiler and engine, a steam hoist and a sawmill. MINING NOTES. Mr. Henneage, holding the bond on the City of Paris and. Lincoln, in White's camp, is expected to arrive from England next week, when work will be resumed on both properties. In about two weeks time a force of probably 25 men will be put to work on the Boundary Creek M. & M. Co.'s properties. At the present time the surface water is proving very troublesome at the D. A. Mr. W. T. Thompson this week bonded the Jim, in Wellington camp, from George Cook, for a mining syndicate. A good figure is asked for the property and 10 per cent, was paid on the bond. The Jim has a great showing of pyrr- hotite ore, carrying well in gold and copper. One of the directors of the Boundary Mines Company is expected to visit the camp within the next two weeks and work will probably not be resumed on the Mother Lode until his arrival. It is expected that development work will then be carried on continuously during the year. Mr. A. H. MacFarlane, representing the syndicate holding a bond on the Sunset and Crown Silver claims, arrived in Greenwood on Friday's stage. A number of tenders for the 300 feet of tunneling'which the syndicate propose to have done to open up the claims, have been sent in and will be considered at once. Mr. T. McAuley, of Midway, who has been a patient in the hospital for the last week, is rapidly becoming convalescent and hopes to return home next week. Mr. Geo. Dawson, secretary of the Midway Company, writes to say that it is altogether likely that one of the directors of the company will visit Midway shortly. The foundations have been laid for a large and artistically designed house which is being erected by Mr. Keffer at Anaconda. The house will contain eight rooms on the ground floor, including offices and a laboratory ; a conservatory is also to be built, leading from the drawing room. ^t>9^9>9<��*-9<9>��<91t''9<0>^49>-9<9>-9<9>-9^a>9^a^g ��� V I Garland & Co., Ot��9<0>+<a>-B*49>e-4B>^<0*-9*ta>-&-*9**&-40P-9<0>-*-0>0-49>*9-^9<9 SMITH & McLEOD Proprietors of the VERNON SAW, PLANING AND /MOULDING A\ILLS Sash and Door Factory at Vernon.

Mr. Harry Guess left for Fair view :���;��� to-day. ��� , Mr. Russell,, of Russell '"&', Co., left Brandon on Saturday and is expected to reach Greenwood at the beginning of next week. The mail between Greenwood and Grand Forks was carried for several days last week on horseback, owing- to the condition of the roads. Stage communication was, however, ag-ain established on Tuesday. Notice has been received from the insurance companies carrying- risks in Greenwood that unless some effort is made to clear away the brush and dead timber on the outskirts of the town, all policies will be cancelled. Subscriptions have been raised this week to grade Government street and put a sidewalk down from Mr. Buck-, ley's harness shop to Russell & Co.'s hardware store. Directly the surveyors have completed the plotting* of the Dundee addition they will take the levels of the street. Messrs. Keedy & Ratcliffe have received part of their machinery for the manufacture of sash and doors and the rest is on the road. The firm claim that they can turn out sash and doors from their factory here very much cheaper than the imported g-oods can be bought for. , In laying- out the Dundee addition to Greenwood townsite, wide streets should be allowed for in the . business- portion afiid in every case an alley way should be left in the rear. of the lots. As the town g-ets built up much inconvenience is likely to result from lack of such foresig*ht. The appearance of the town mig*ht . be wonderfully improved if property owners would follow Messrs. Seymour & Co.'s excellent example of planting- trees oh the street before' their houses or places of business. All these thing-s assist in g-iving* a place an air of permanence, and strangers are likely to be8 impressed with this idea. . . Mr. Elkins' house on Eong* Eake street was completed this week and may be described as one of. the neatest building-s in the town. The log-s of which it is built are admirably fitted tog*ether, and with the red painted roof and the white-washed walls the house would not look out of place in a much more important town than Greenwood has yet become. The hug-e boulder which stood before Olsen & Phelan's store and was certainly neither a thing* of beauty nor a joy for ever (if one happened to run against it on a dark night), has, it is satisfactory to note, been removed. At the rate improvements are being made Government street will soon compare favorably with other principal streets of the town. It certainly does not now. " Father Pat's " Postcard. " Father Pat " Irwin was asked by the editor of a church paper published in Vancouver to solicit subscriptions for the publication. His reply, written on a postcard, is so thoroughly characteristic that it is worth reproducing : '* Can't do it, you know ; no possible sale for ' Record' here yet; folk top mad on shares. We are only a unit in the missionary district of Trail and Kettle River, 105 miles wide, with Trail, Grand Forks, Carson, Greenwood, Anaconda, Midway, and Rock Creek (with lots of " side dishes " and camps) j " cities " all of them.

Haas is preparing" to start work on the Golconda group in Smith's camp. Assays made from averaged samples taken from the bottom of the shaft on the Highland Queen went $17.50 in g*old and silver. Work is to be started in about two weeks time upon the Gold Bug and Hidden Treasure, owned by Mr. Druck- er, M.P., in Deadwood camp. Prospectors are beginning to flock into the hills in the. neighborhood of Christina lake. Last week, it is stated, about 150 men arrived in the camp. Mr. Hanley, of Spokane, manager of the Keough Gold Mining Company, has advised the purchase of a steam hoist for the R. Bell, in Summit camp. The contractors sinking* on the Republic are making about 1%. feet a day and the ledg-e has widened to four feet. . The shaft is being sunk on the hangv ing* wall. ���" Mr. S. M. Hinman writes from Alexander, N.Y., to say that he hopes to organize a company shortly to purchase property in Boundary. . As was predicted in a former issue, prospectors are already beginning* to . strike out for the new field tip Kettle river. Several parties left this week with supplies. Tom Walsh returned on Tuesday from Spokane and Rossland and intends to at once start work on the properties he recently bonded in Greenwood camp. Messrs. Young* and Aspinwall, who hold a bond on the Monarch, in Greenwood camp, are visiting Fairview and are expected to arrive in Boundary next week, when a force of 20'men will be put to work on the properties. The Columbia, in Summit camp, owned by Archie Connors, has now a fine showing- of solid ore. A 25-foot tunnel has been driven in on the ledg*e. A big* showing- has also been made in the last two weeks on the Summit and Hopewell in the same camp. Jack Dufour finished the assessments this week on the Barrow, Dr. Jim and I.C.W., in Skylark camp. At the bottom of a 12-foot hole on the Barrow is four feet of rich looking* decomposed quartz. A two-foot vein was discovered on the Dr. Jim. Messrs. Dufour and Fisher have left to prospect near Christina lake. W. A. Shaw, who has been working- all winter on the north extension of the Cordick. in Summit camp, has struck a fine ledge of copper pyritic ore which he believes to be a continuation of the R. Bell lead. The Cordick is itself the north extension of the R. Bell. The discovery of mineral was only recently made. Mr. W. T. Smith, during his last visit to Spokane, took with him a splendid sample of ore weighing nearly 125 pounds from the Republic, which caused much comment in that place. The Republic ore averages $60 to the ton and is free milling, so that if the company were to erect a mill and concentrator the property would pay handsome dividends at the present time. It is the intention, however, to thoroughly prove both the Republic and Last Chance claims before establishing* works to treat the ore, and Mr. Smith hopes to continue the shaft on the Last Chance down another 100 feet this summer. The Spring Freshets. ���Mr. Wm. Powers, proprietor of the Midway saw-mill, has,' it is estimated, lost upwards of 100,000 feet of logs by the rapid rising- of Kettle river. At Grand Forks the loss of log-s has been still greater. NO halSvWay MEASURES. 0 The citizens of Greenwood are to be1 commended for the decisive stand they took on the Government's proposed 15-puzzle Railway Policy. ( The citi= zens of that hustling little burg are a wide-awake, liberal, progressive' and patriotic people, who take an active in-1 terest in all that pertains to the welfare of British Columbia. That they cannot be hoodwinked is evidenced by the judgment they use in purchasing their Groceries and Clothing, the ma- jority dealing at the White Front Store.

Mr. McRae, of-Smith & McRae, returned on Tuesday from Spokane, haying purchased a stock of stationery which he hopes will' be received in Greenwood next week. Mr. McRae had a very unpleasant return, journey, the road from Marcus being so bad that the stage passengers were obliged to walk a great parter of the distance. Mr. Stephen Jones, proprietor of the Dominion hotel, Victoria, paid a special visit to Greenwood on Monday. He has been travelling for the past month through the Slocan and .before returning home had determined to see thing of the Boundary which he had heard a great deal some- district, of Mr. Jones thought that Greenwood was certainly the most favorably situated town in the district, and it is not improbable that he will establish a large first-class hotel here.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-04-24 |
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. |
