GREENWOOD CITY, RG, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1897. 32 2 No, 6, r****"w������fc.,iif''fiT-" nm in mmi i ^nii innnr-^g-^-T TOPICS TOR THE WEEK. T? AST week the pupils of the Greenwood public school ^J^ were instructed in the art of ploughing (on the black-board). Of all the absurd things ever heard of, the teaching 'of agriculture in public schools���particularly so in the schools of a mining district���'-" takes the bun." Even in a rural agricultural district it is strongly to be questioned whether, the number of young children who are taught the chemical properties of ' manures' and other branches of learning appertaining to scientific farming in schools, and who clean stables, cut "wood and milk cows at home, derive nearly as much practical benefit from the former as they do from the latter ; but in the cities and rural mining district schools what on earth the object is'in cramming the helpless children with a lot of stuff they in nine cases out of ten cannot swallow, must .be left to the Hon. the Minister of Education to explain. If it is necessary at all to enlarge the curriculum of the public schools, why not discriminate between localities ? Teach agriculture in farming communities, and elementary geology or mineralogy (at all times interesting studies) to .the sons and daughters of miners. - ��& iif In view of the probable incorporation of Greenwood as a municipality within the next few months, it is highly important that property owners should have their titles - properly registered, so that, in the first place, there .may be a sufficient number of representative as well as eligible candidates ; and secondly, that those who will be obliged to. contribute towards the maintenance of the local government miy also have a voice in the administration of its affairs. Despite the contradiction of our contemporary, the " Miner,", difficulty is being experienced at Grand Forks in the matter of nominating duby qualified men to sit as an aldermanic board. Again, if we are to accept the " Miner's " statement that the population of Grand Forks is 500, then barely eight per cent, of the community are entitled to the franchise,���a very deplorable state of affairs. Under ordinary circumstances the incorporation of so young a town as Greenwood would be in the highest degree inadvisable. But the conditions are n'ot ordinary. Without any attempt at exaggeration, Greenwood promises to become the central mining town of the, greatest copper-gold producing districts in the -whole of North America. A good deal depends upon the progress made in the construction of railroads, particularly of the Columbia & Western, whether or not there will be much excitement in Boundary this summer; but at any rate the towns will have a compar-. atively large floating as well as resident population. The danger of fever and epidemics resulting from the primitive sanitary arrangements���however stringently the regulations are enforced���now in force, is not imaginary nor to be considered lightly, and only under capable municipal management could an adequate and efficient sewerage system be inaugurated. If there is a probability of a great plague there is a still greater likelihood of a great fire during the summer ; and though there are instances in the history of British Columbia of towns rising Phcenix-like from the ashes, indued with fresh life and energy, it is very possible that the people of Greenwood would not care to take the chances of witnessing the phenomenon. Subscriptions may be raised to defray the expense of providing some kind of fire protection for the town without going to the length of incorporation ; but what kind of protection1 would it be ? A very one-horse affair at the best. Moreover, why should the residents���the people who are now risking everything on the promise of the future���bear all the burden ? Quite a large proportion of the town property is owned by speculative holders, who toil not neither do they spin (even yarns) in the interest of Greenwood. Most of them purchased lots when the price was low, and. now complacently watch the appreciation in the value of their investments owing to the improvements undertaken by others. The question of street improvements must also be considered. The present condition of the principal streets of the town, it must be admitted, is not creditable to the progressive spirit that undoubtedly animates the majority ofr the., townspeople. Until Greenwood is an incorporated city there are only two means of remedying the evil':" Kither the residents on each street must subscribe the sum requisite to carry out the desired improvements, or the townsite owners be asked to do so. The objection to, the first of these alter- . natives is, as already suggested, that speculative owners of lots, while reaping all the benefits, escape contributing to the fund ; and also, as long as the matter is voluntary, one must expect to find some men, even among , the residents, less liberally disposed than others; There is one drawback to the second plan of asking the proprietors of the .townsite to-undertake to put (say) Government and Copper streets in decent condition, and that is that they would doubtless not unreasonably refuse, for the simple reason that all or nearly all the lots on these two streets have passed put'of their-, hands.. Furthermore, the,original proprietor, Mr. Robert Wood, has done almost as much for- the town as could be rightfully expected of him. ���> Taking these few considerations alone���and many more arguments might be profitably advanced���there are strong reasons in favor of the,early incorporation of Greenwood as a city. Providing, of course, that the men forming the first council adopted an economical, albeit progressive, policy based on sound business principles, the individual expense to taxpayers need not exceed*to any appreciable degree the sum which each is now obliged to pay into the provincial treasury pratically without receiving therefrom any direct benefit. There are, we believe, men in Greenwood capable of filling positions on the civic board wisely and well, who would consent to act without salary, and many, other expenses which go towards making municipal government an expensive luxury might without difficulty be curtailed. '/if die. ���sn*- Judging from two items in the Estimates of Revenue for the next financial year, the Government foresee a big trade in miners' licenses but don't hope for any increase of revenue from the sale of marriage permits. I^ast year the revenue derived from the issuance of miners' licenses was $45,000, and from marriage licenses $3,500 ; from June 30th of this year the revenue from the former is expected to double itself, notwithstanding the order-in-council whereby mine laborers are exempted from the tax ; while the Provincial Treasurer won't be disappointed so long as he realizes as much during the next financial year as he did last from this decidedly unjust tax on matrimony���the Government should appropriate an adequate sum wherewith to bonus every bachelor taking the heroic plunge, instead of taxing him. It would pay better in the long run than the crofter scheme. But to return to the point: it seems to most people that the Estimates in these two particulars are at variance. The state of the matrimonial market is an infallible barometer of prosperity, and if as everyone, even the Government, expects the provincial mining industry will receive a tremendous impetus this year, and as the Estimate shows there will be nine thousand more prospectors in the field, most of them, no doubt, from a fond mamma's point of view, eligible young men,; if no more marriage licences are issued this than they were last year it will then be high time to import spinsters from the EJast, THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, THE "RAILWAY POLICY." A representative meeting of the residents of Greenwood was held in the school-hduse on Monday night to discuss the government " railway policy." Mr. L/amb was voted to the chair and Mr. Jacobs acted as secretary. After the meeting had been called to order, the chairman stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Graham, the member for East Yale, calling his attention to the government's " railway policy " as set forth in a Bill which had been introduced in the legislature authorising a loan of $2,500,000 to provide funds -whereby to subsidise certain proposed railroads. Mr. Graham was ��� anxious to obtain the opinion of his constituents regarding the "policy," that he might vote in accordance with their wishes. The chairman then read - the clauses of the Bill. It was proposed to subsidise three roads ; of these the building of the first named from Penticton to Boundary Creek alone directly concerned the people of this district. It would be rioted that by the provisions of the bill the Lieutenant-Governor in Council was vested with very extraordinary powers ; he could do pretty well what he chose, and clause 10 would further seem to indicate that the Columbia & Western was the company which it was proposed to subsidise. It was already known that the Lieutenant-Governor was a director of this company, and the conclusion was therefore obvious. Moreover, Mr. Heinze had agreed in the first place to construct a railroad from the Columbia river to Penticton and had received a ���. provisional . land grant, although he had made no application for governmental assistance when he applied for his charter. So far as the early construction of a road from Penticton to Boundary Creek was concerned he (the chairman) could not see that the benefit derived would be nearly so great as the early construction of the road from Rossland westward. It was for the meeting to decide whether, the proposed " railway policy " of the government met with their approval. Mr. Sansom pointed out the advantage of a road from Boundary Creek to Penticton, Ore, he said, could Joe shipped over the road to Penticton, thence transferred to the steamer on Okan- agan lake, transferred again to the cars at Okanagan Landing, transferred at Sicamous, and then if they hadn't got a smelter at Vancouver they might transport it to Tacoma or else dump it in the bay (laughter). Mr. Worgan hardly saw what use it would be. for the meeting to express any dissent; the government had things all their own way. Mr. Galloway, in the course of a capital speech, said that his views were very decided : it was the duty of the people of Greenwood to say what they think and to protest very strongly against the perpetration of what he could only calla very palpable swindle (hear, hear). The government's " railway policy " was nothing more nor less than an attempt to squeeze the public, and he did not believe for one moment that on account of a subsidy the railroad would be constructed into this district a day sooner. By the very pro- visions.of the bill a company need not commence work for two years. If Heinze or some one else had agreed to start work at once from Penticton, it niight not be quite so bad. But the road we want is a road from the Coast, Rossland. Greenwood. LIMITED LIABILITY. Qfteaf &rtatt anb (tttinmg Q0rofter0, Financial &-Insurance Agents. GEO. R. NADEN, A\anager. : Wjf.jtitfi��,T.iAaau��KaiwiBiiini inmaraEsa as outlined in the charter of the V. V. & E. Co. So far as the road from Bute Inlet to Quesnelle was concerned, he was assured that the engineering difficulties on some-parts of the. .road were so great that no company would at-* tempt to build a railroad, even with the" promise of a subsidy of $4,000 per mile. The proposed Chilliwhack road was also absurdly unnecessary. What the Chilliwhack farmers wanted was a market for their produce. They were already able to ship produce to the . Coast cities by steamer, but their best market would be the mining camps. As citizens of Greenwood we should frame a very strong' resolution condemning the present action of the government (applause). Mr. Sansom thought tha.t Mr. Graham was acting in a very strange manner. A deputation from the B. C. M. & C. Association had waited upon him in Victoria expressly for the purpose of stating the views of the people of Boundary regarding. railroad construction, and here he was asking us what we thought of the government's present proposed policy. He (Mr. Sansom) thought the government were " a thundering set of thieves." Mr. McDonnell, as one of the delegates to the Coast, fully endorsed Mr. Sansom's views. Mr. C. JS&. Shaw, consulting engineer of the V. V. & E- Co., who was present, said that his company were still working on the scheme of building a road from the Coast to the Columbia river, and that they were more hopeful that affairs would be carried to a successful issue now than heretofore. Fresh negotiations were being made,., and the government had, he understood, agreed to alter their "policjv" in the company's favor. . Mr. Black moved that a committee be appointed to draft a resolution to be sent to Mr. Graham protesting strongly against the railway measure as. submitted. The resolution was carried unanimously and Messrs. Galloway, Hallett and Black deputed to act. The meeting then adjourned. Good Showing on the Brooklyn. The result of the work recently prosecuted on the Brooklyn and Idaho claims in Greenwood camp by George Rumberger was highly satisfactory, the assay values of the ore increasing to an appreciable extent. The assays of average sampled rock returned $15 in gold, silver and copper from the bottom of the new shaft on the Brooklyn, whereas on the surface the valuations were rather less than half of this return. Some 30 feet of work was done. The. shaft on the Highland Queen was down 20 feet on Tuesday and showed at the bottom a two-foot lead of high grade ore. J.'SUUA-.W JS.

[special correspondence.] There is nothing of great importance going on at present in Grand Forks district in the way of mining, although there are a number of prospects being worked in all directions from here, the principal of which are up the North Fork. The announcement of the sale of the Pathfinder by the sheriff, to satisfy a judgment against the property held by F. C. Coring against #. C. Spencer, and which took place on Monday, practically ties up the mine in the same line with the Volcanic and Seattle,with no prospect of their being worked this season. In the Pathfinder case, according to Thos. Parkinson's,information, Spencer has no valid interest in the mine ,* that two years ago he provided his proportion of one-third for a grubrstake ; that over a year ago he got into trouble and debt in Rossland and left for parts unknown, and.therefore allowed his license to expire for 1896 ; he has never contributed his proportion to the assessment work on .the claim or its development���-about $1,500. The judgment was bought in by * Par-, kinson on conditions to be settled in the future. ��� . The Volcanic company will hold a meeting at Spokane on the 26th inst., and it is claimed on good authority that they are now prepared to settle up all matters and start in to work the mine, at the same time build a 100-ton smelter near the property. But affairs are in such a shape as to throw considerable doubt on these promises. The new company owning the Seattle say they are going to work as soon as practicable ; the pld company contend they shall not. Thus the Seattle is practically in a state of litigation. The Bon it a people are working two shifts on their property, under the direction of Mr. Jas. Cunningham, who has bonded a controlling interest in the same and will pay the price asked providing they find-a sufficient amount of ore in the 100-foot crosscut tunnel, now in about 50 feet -with no very satisfactory results ; atthe same time the vein has been tapped on the footwall. Jack Hanley came over from the Old Dominion mine, near Colville, last week and has taken charge of the R. Bell property in Summit camp. They are expecting machinery for a hoist in a short time and work will be pushed on this property. Rossland parties who are furnishing r money for developing the Empire, have notified their manager here to sink the shaft to the 50-foot and then crosscut the vein. The same parties will also start work on the Cain, three miles up the North Fork. A new camp is being opened at Edwards' ferry, called Edwards' camp. Fine gold ore has been found here and preparations are being made for doing considerable work on the Ajax, Skylight and Southern Belle. Fine float carrying free gold has been found in this locality for a number of years past and it is now thought the main ledge has been located. Several prospecting parties have left for the upper North Fork country to put in the season on the main and east forks, where some fine free milling quartz was found last fall, as well as a promising placer territory. *y*w>����<aMi<aMi<ii Mineral Glasses and Prospecting Compasses.

The company are disposing of a large number of shares in England. The Iron Pyrites, in Deadwood camp, is steadily improving with development; the whole of the bottom of the shaft is in ore and more copper is coming in. Mr. J. B. McArthur has bought a , half interest in the Hamfat, adjoining. the R. Bell, in Summit camp. This is one of the most promising prospects in the camp. Assessment work was completed last week on,the Nellie B., adjoining the Texas, in Providence camp. A small vein.of high grade galena was. uncov- ered. There was another case the other day of an uprooted tree resulting in sLgood find, Jack Harlan discovering thereby what appears to be a g*ood body of quartz which r>ans well, in Deadwood canrp. Tom Pascoe is doing assessment ���work on a claim in Skylark camp, originally known as the Jo Jo, adjoining the Meadow I/ark on the east, and has struck a vein of decomposed quartz of from A% to 5 feet wide between well defined walls. Mr.W. J. Porter returned this week' after an absence of two months in California. He states that San Francisco people are much interested in Rossland and" that a number of mining men from that place will probably visit Boi.md.ary- this year. Work is to be started-shortly on the Golden Crown. Work has been stopped on the Canadian for the common reason of water in the shaft, and it will. probably be three weeks before it can be continued. When the. men went up on Saturday they found that the water which had accumulated overnight was 12 feet deep in the shaft. The Canadian was just beginning to show up well. CAMP McKINNEY NOTES. [SPECIAL COKEESPONDENCE.] The deep snow is still retarding mining operations in this camp, but it is rapidly melting and another week or ten days of good weather will see most of it gone. Mr. J. A. Currie, of Toronto, one of the directors of the Minnehaha Mining* Co., arrived in camp on Tuesday with a force of experienced men to commence work on the claim. Cabins will be built at once and every preparation made for an active campaign. He will leave for Rossland in about ten days, and Major Megraw is expected here shortly to take charge of the work. The shaft, which shows over three feet of solid high grade quartz, will be sunk 100 feet and drifts run in. The machinery, which will consist of a 40- horse-power boiler and hoisting engine, will be brought in as soon as the state of the roads will permit. The assessment work has been done on the Mountain Sheep, which lies south of the Minnehaha, and the assays have gone as high as $12 to the ton. The five-drill Rand compressor is being placed in position on the Cariboo and will be running shortly. It is the intention of the company to increase the capacity of the mill to 40 stamps. The general feeling in the camp is very antagonistic to the government's "railway policy," especially against the proposed money bonus to Heinze and his associates. p, W. J. ARMSTRONG. L. Y. BIRNIE.

GREENWOOD NOTES AND GOSSIP. A sidewalk is to be put down shortly on Silver street. Mr. Graham, a contractor and builder, formerly of Armstrong-, , has come to reside in Greenwood and will shortly be joined by his wife. Messrs. Miller Bros, are enlarging* their building- on Copper street and are renting the south side rooms to Mr. Hicks for a restaurant. Mr. Germaine has purchased a lot on Copper street, between Guess Bros.' office and Jacobson's building, and is making arrangements for the erection of a building thereon. Mr. Randolph Stuart is having a house built on his pre-emption on L/ong lake. Other improvements are also to be done in order that a crown grant may be obtained at once. A Mr. Alexander, who resided, for several years in Portland, Oregon, and was known as one of the finest Rugby football players on the coast, arrived in Anaconda this week and intends prospecting up Boundary creek during the summer. Mr; C. 2��. Shaw, C.E., arrived in Greenwood on Sunday, accompanied by h(is two assistants, Messrs. Dove and Birnie. Mr. Shaw intends to reside here permanently, with his family. He is engaged as consulting- engineer for the V. V. & ]��. Ry. Co. The Dundee section of the townsite is being cleared of stumps and brush and there can be no doubt but that lots in this part of the town will find ready sale directly they are placed on the market. The ground is level and the site admirable for business purposes. . The article descriptive of the camp issued in the form of a pamphlet by the " Anaconda Commercial Club has been favorably commented upon by several influential journals in the east, the Montreal Mining News going so far as to reproduce itointact in the last issue of that paper. The freight and duty on $18 worth of tobacco imported last week by a Greenwood firm, amounted to $19.05 ; $12.60 worth of hose cost, $6.90 in freight; and a stove invoiced at $16.00 had a freight charge of $17.62 added to its cost. In this degree are residents of Boundary handicapped. It is rumored that Billy Porter be- .came a benedict during his recent stay in California, and not content with taking this step on his own account he also acted as a sort of French father fcr Jack Farrell, whom he betrothed to another fair damsel of the sunny State. Freighters on the Marcus road are having, a hard time of it. The road from Marcus is, if anything, in a worse condition than the road from Penticton at present. One man leaving Marcus with a load, after going some distance, was oblig*ed to unhitch, leave his wagon by the roadside and turn back with the team. In another case it required 22 horses to pull an empty wagon out of a mud hole near Pierre's ranch. 7i ^I^T^trrimarnTrfittirratlWnVmnrr*- ��-w>^ ii'iirTT* The contract has been let for the erection of a large building-, to be used as a brewery, across Boundary creek, on the Dundee addition to the townsite. Mr. Otto Mangett, a brewer of Chewala (Wash.), has made all arrangements to start manufacturing beer by the 1st of July. The plant, of 10-barrel capacity, is to be brought in at once. Mr. Morrison is undecided whether to run a daily stage between Marcus and Greenwood or to go off the road altogether. The great difficulty is the question of horse feed, hay having to be hauled all the way from Marcus to Greenwood at naturally a great expense. Chiefly on this account the proprietors of the stage lines on this road have arranged to increase the fare from $6 to $7. Mr. Morrison is one of the principal shareholders in the Reservation M. & M. Co., and is therefore in a position to forsake the arduous life of a stage driver which he has followed for so long a time ; at the same time if he'makes up his mind to do so many who appreciate his punctual habits and regard for the comfort of his passengers will regret the disappearance from the road of the " Old Reliable," nas he has been appropriately termed. Branching Out. , Mr. G. B. Taylor left on Tuesday to open a general store at Rock Creek, having entered into partnership arrangements with Rendell & Co. Rock Creek promises in the near future to become a very important centre. In the immediate neighborhood are be- . lieved to exist vast deposits of coal, the exploratory work so far done having proved entirely satisfactory. Fireclay has also been discovered and will become very valuable in the event of smelters being built in the district. Indeed it is by no means unlikely, in view of the valuable mineral discoveries at James creek and on Kettle river, that Rock Creek will not only become a smelting point but a coaling- station for railroads. IDven at the present time Rock Creek affords a capit-d opening for a general store and Mr. Taylor, has sufficient business acumen to take advantage of the fact; his long experience of store-keeping and personal acquaintance with so many of the miners and prospectors throughout the Kettle river and Okanagan districts, will undoubtedly ensure his success. ROCK CREEK MINING NOTES. [SPECIAL correspondence.] Quite a large number of new locations have been made here, lately and prospectors are starting out every day. Copper sulphides is the characteristic ore of this neighborhood. Mr. W. T. Thompson has bonded Tom Curry's property here and intends to push its development. He believes in " burning-, powder " in order to make a rapid sale. The Rock Creek hotel is being overhauled and enlarged in readiness for the summer's travel. Jimmy Atwood came in from Midway on Tuesday to work on his locations near tliis settlement. The second payment of $4,000 on the ���No. 7 was made by the Boundary Mines Co. on Tuesday. The final payment will not be due for 60 days. The No. 7 continues to look well; the drift on the ledge from the crosscut has been driven 25 feet, all in splendid ore. ��%(*MMa.v��<e��>a-<e��H.*��a��*-a <9> ��<��>Xt����<��-����J��'H��*;^ 1 Garland & Co., i " ' a Dealers in ��� I Real Estate 1 A v ?

A Nelson (Wash.) correspondent writes : Spring has at last set in on this part of the reservation and much development is going on. The Reservation M. & M. Co. are working a large force of men on their property near the boundary, and the reports are that but for the present transportation facilities the property would be a shipper. A new strike was made on the Star and Crescent, across Kettle river from the famous L,e Fleur, on the 2nd inst. While doing surface work, a fine body of copper pyrites and hematite was uncovered further up the hill from the present tunnel, which is in 37 feet. This company has had six men at work for the last month, and from present indications bids fair to rival any. property in this section. Assays of the following values have been taken from this property : Copper, $14.40 ; silver, $19.93 ; gold, $26.70. MINING NOTES. Machinery is shortly to be installed on the Reservation Mining Co.'s properties to the south.of White's camp. Talking about unique names of mineral claims, a location recently staked up Kettle river, which has been called " Truth Conquers," would be diffioult to beat in this respect. The work which has been carried on at the coal deposits at Rock' creek for some time has resulted in the striking of another seam of coal of an excellent quality. Assessment is being done on the New York, the ^northern extension of the Brooklyn, in Greenwood camp. The property is owned by Mr. J. B. McAr- thur, a well known lawyer of Rossland. A good strike was made this week on the Iyake, in Skylark camp, a five-foot ledge running east and west being struck from the crosscut, 40 feet from the shaft on the iron capping. The ore is pyrrhotite, and shows a large percentage of copper pyrites. Two men went up on Tuesday to do assessment work on the Trilby, in Skylark camp. , This claim is owned by Messrs. Randolph Stuart and W. H. Norris, of Midway, and some $800 has already been spent upon it in development. A crown grant is to be applied for immediately Messrs. T. McDonnell and J. Frank have bonded the Dongola group of claims at. Camp McKinney to Mr. T. H. Colland, of Vancouver, who represents an Knglish syndicate. These claims are situated near the Victoria mine and have a good showing of quartz.; .".'���; At the sheriff's sales on Monday and Tuesday, an undivided fourth interest in the Pathfinder was sold at Grand Forks for $2,500, the owners of the remaining interest being the purchasers. The Nightingale fetched $120, and two third interests in the Mountain View and Stanley respectively $40 and $15. The Greenwood correspondent of the Spokesman-Review writes : Erroneous statements have gone forth, claiming that there are not enough miners in the district to fill the places at the properties now being worked. The parties originating them are either ignorant of the facts or have little regard for their fellow men. There are in the district more than enough miners to " go around " on all the work now in progress and in contemplation for some time to come.

Work on the Mother Lode will probably not be resumed until'-the: Company have received Mr. Keffer's report, which will not be for two weeks yet. TO. C. Brown and Jack Harlan finished assessment work on the Iron Pyrites, Deadwood camp, yesterday. There is a good showing in the shaft, which is down 12 feet. The prospecting season may be said to have fairly set in, the snOw having practically disappeared from the lower- hills. Men are starting out every day with pack animals. A very perfect specimen of an Indian arrow head, made from a piece of white quartz, was picked up by Mr. J. C. Haas near the I^ast Chance, in Smith's camp, on Thursday. An explanation why the coroner, Dr. Jakes, was not notified concerning the death of a prospector named Carter, which occurred at Grand Forks last week, is certainly in order. ��� ^ A fine ledge of ore seven feet wide was struck this week on the Minnehaha in Camp McKinney. The ore resembles that found on the Cariboo, but the latter ledge has never been as wide as seven feet. Those wishing to join the Oddfellows lodge in Greenwood at the present reduced membership fee should make application before May 1st; after that date, on the expiry of the dispensation granted to facilitate organizing, the regular by-laws will come into force. A week or so ago anyone suggesting picnic-ing would have been looked upon as a promising subject for a lunatic asylum; nevertheless yesterday���being Good Friday���the Greenwood school children had an enjoyable outing, the weather being everything that could be desired. Those taking part in the concert to be given by the ladies of Greenwood next'Wednesday are practising assiduously ; a thorough canvass of the district was made this week, and judging from the ready promises of support the affair will without doubt be an immense sue-ess. There was very nearly a sugar famine in town this week, but fortunately Charlie Brandt, one of the Greenwood Mercantile Co.'s teamsters, arrived on Thursday night from Marcus with a load of 3,500 lbs. Butter has also been unobtainable in Greenwood or Anaconda for several days. It is very likely that another saw-mill will be established near Greenwood, - probably at McDonald's ranch on Fholt'' creek, shortly. The increased demand for lumber and the excessive prices charged here at present, render competition a thing to be much desired under the circumstances. Mr. Robt. Wood returned from Victoria on Wednesday, much improved in health and spirits. He believes firmly that Greenwood will become the most important town between Rossland and Hope mountain, and if energetic work on his part can make it so tliere is no reason to doubt that his sanguine anticipations will ere long be realized. While away Mr. Wood made application for the right to appropriate the water of Boundary falls, Twin creek and lOholt creek for the use of the town and expects that the charter will be granted this week. Electricity for power and light will be generated at the falls and transmitted ; while piping will be laid to carry water for domestic purposes from Twin creek at present, and later when necessary from Eholt creek. Mr. Wood hopes that the.town will be incorporated in the immediate future, when he will turn over his water rights to the city. As a matter of fact he wrote to the private bills committee, asking that the charter be granted him upon this understanding. Messrs. Wiseman and Reeder have1 been working at different times during the winter on the Texas, Providence camp, and the ledge has been well stripped. A contract will shortly be let for the sinking of a shaft at a favorable spot where the lead has been exposed. Meanwhile an assessment is to be done on the B. C, in Summit camp. ANACONDA COMMERCIAL CLUB. At the meeting on Wednesday Mr. Kelliher was admitted to membership. The chief business discussed of any importance was the question of having the road between Grand Forks and Anaconda repaired at once. The road is now in an almost impassable condition and it was pointed out that if the superintendent, Mr. Cuppage, could be induced to put a force of men to work at the present time instead of delaying as is usual till later in the year, the benefit would be materially greater. Mr. Hind said he had interviewed Mr. Cuppage with regard to the matter who informed him that if the Ariaconda merchants would accept government time checks from the road gang, he would dp as desired. He (Mr. :Hind) understood that the merchants agreed to accept the checks, but as every day was of importance he would propose that a committee, be appointed to interview Mr. McMynn (who had special powers to employ men at any time in the year, when necessary to repair the roads) and ask him to have the work carried out; if he refused to do so, the ^ committee .might ask the merchants of Anaconda and Greenwood to contribute towards a fund to improve the road for the time being. The resolution was carried. # Mr. Hind stated that the townsite company had made arrangements with a brewer to establish a brewery in Anaconda ; the building was to be commenced before May 15th. Mr. Alexander, of Portland, who was present as a visitor, complied with a request to make a few remarks. He said : He was very pleased to be present at a meeting of the club ; he had heard of the club and of the good work it was doing in the interests of Boundary Creek whilst in Oregon. If he became, as he hoped, a resident in the district he would ask to be admitted to membership. Proposed Smelter on Boundary Creek. Mr.. Hedley, of Nelson, the well- known smelter man, arrived in Greenwood on Thursday and was interviewed by a representative of The Times. He said that his visit at the present time was occasioned not so much for the purpose of locating a smelter site as by other business. He, however, expected to return to Boundary at the beginning of May, and hoped before then to receive advices pertinent to the establishment of a smelter at some point on Boundary creek. "A smelter would," Mr. Hedley continued, "be erected at once here if we were only satisfied that a railway into the district was in a fair way towards construction, and I think I can persuade them to build. I don't care in what direction they build, a road so long as one is built." "Well, a road from Penticton to Boundary, for instance, wouldn't be much good to you would itJ?',' " Why not ? If we can get coke in at a reasonable figure���-that's the principal thing." J "What about the Rock Creek coal ? Have you seen the analyses ?" " I have seen analyses made by other people, but we don't know anything about the coal beds there yet�� One can't judge of values from analyses made from surface coal. Of course if there is good coking coal at Rock creek it will make a wonderful. difference in the cost of smelting." R. LP. The death of Mr. Thos. E. Kitchen, M.P.P. for the Chilliwhack riding, New Westminster district, which occurred on the 5th inst., is a sad loss to the province. Mr. Kitchen was a member of the legislature for eight years and ever a fearless opponent of all measures which in his opinion were detrimental to the interests of the country. He was a forcible and fluent speaker, an honest and upright man. In Chilliwhack, where he resided for nearly 20 years, he won and maintained by his many sterling characteristics the warm respect and regard of the entire community. The writer, who enjoyed a. close intimacy.with Mr. Kitchen for a number of years, sincerely mourns the death of a staunch and kind-hearted friend. F. AUG. HEINZE.

ASSOCIATION. i A meeting- of the above association was held on Monday, a majority of the members being- present. The chairman, Mr. Galloway, explained that the regular fortnig-htly meeting's had not been convened lately because no questions of sufficient moment had arisen to make it worth while. The secretary then produced a balance sheet, which had been audited by Mr. W. B. Paton, showing- a balance of $1.15 in the association's favor. The chairman said he, thoug-ht the members would agree with him that the balance sheet was very satisfactory, but if members in arrears with their monthly dues had paid it would have been still more so. There was, however, another matter of which he would like to speak : Messrs. Rendell, Kerr and himself had been appointed a committee to open the Greenwood camp road for traffic. After obtaining* several opinions as to the best way of proceeding" with the.task, the com-j?" mittee had employed Sam Martin for four days to drive four horses over the road to break down the snow. Sam Martin was assisted by Mr. Graaf ;and another man. Mr. Graaf also fed the men and stabled and fed the horses free of cost for the four days. At the end of this time Sam Martin returned and reported that he had been unable to open the road in the time, but thoug-ht it would take four days more to do so. The committee decided that as they had gone so far, it would be better to complete the work, and instructed Martin to this effect. He was away considerably longer th'aii fourr days1 and returned with an account for 13 days' work and a bill from Mr. Graaf for board and horse feed amounting- to $41.25. The whole cost of the work approximated $100, and he (Mr. Galloway) was sorry to say that in spite of this expenditure the road, he understood, was not passable. The fact of the matter was that more snow lay on the road than they anticipated. As, however, the committee had done all that was possible under the circumstances, it was for the meeting- to decide how the expenses connected with the work should be met. Mr. Black said the asso3iation was in duty bound to pay the amount and should pledge themselves to do so. The secretary read the following- letters : Ottawa, March 8th, 1897. C. W. Sansom, Esq., Greeuwood : Sir,���1 am desired by the Postmaster General to acknowledg-e 3rours of the 20di ult., representing- that the existing- arrang-einents for the mail service of Greenwood are unsatisfactory and pointing- out how they may be improved. I have the honor to be, etc., A. LINDSAY, Supt. Victoria, March 15th, 1897. C.W.H. Sansom, Esq., Greenwood: Sir,���Replying- to yours of the 22ud, referring- to instructions which, it is claimed, have been issued to the postmaster at Greenwood not to forward mail from his office via Marcus for points on the coast of B;C: I do not find that an}- instructions have been issued to this effect. I do not know whether Mr. Snodgrass has made any arrangements with the parties who are running- the stag-e between Grand Forks and Greenwood to carry the mails dailj', and will see what arrang-ements can be made in this respect.���Yours truly, E. H. FLETCHER, P. O. Inspector. At the request of the chairman, Mr. Rendell explained that in consequence of a letter he had received some weeks ag-o from the Grand Forks postmaster, he had stopped forwarding- mail via Marcus. He had subsequently heard from the Inspector who had asked him on what authority he had acted, and he had replied by forwarding- the Grand Forks postmaster's letter to the In- t>A And UNDERTAKING &/* ��� I beg- to notify the public that I have taken over Mr. W.

Messrs. Olsen and G. B. Taylor were elected to membership, and the meeting adjourned. In Pass Creek Camp. Assessment work was completed last Saturday on the Barney Barnato, in Pass creek, a 16-foot shaft being put down at the discovery post. A ledge four feet wide, showing copper and iron, was uncovered. Owing to the depth of the snow it was impossible to prospect the claim for the ore-body, and the strike therefore of this more or less promising ledge may be described as a fortunate fluke. The Kettle-River Trail --���-���. We are informed that Messrs. Miller and Gordon last year cut a trail up Lost creek, and that if this trail were continued prospectors conld make Kettle river from Greenwood easily in a day. It is most necessary that a trail should be cut in this direction, as Kettle river and the West Fork will receive more attention from prospectors this season than any other section of the district. Business Competition in Greenwood. Messrs. Smith & McRae, formerly of Rossland, have opened a stationery store in Mr. Jacobson's building on Copper street, with a good stock of books, stationery of all kinds, tobacco, wall-paper, etc. Mr. McRae has had a large business experience and was for "some time in the employ of the well known Rossland firm of stationers, Wallace & Co. There are now no less than five stationers doing business in Greenwood and competition in every class of business is becoming very keen. Will Carry on a Banking Business. The fitting up of Messrs. Bealey & Co.'s office on Government street was completed on Saturday, Mr. Naden being able to take possession. The Company have now made all arrangements with regard to the carriage of currency to enable them to conduct a banking business. TENDERS WANTED.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-04-17 |
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. |
