For the first time the Mother Lode mine was the scene of a fatal accident. Dom. Matello, a mucker, lost His life by falling- to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of 215 feet. The 'accident happened Monday afternoon. It was the result of carelessness on the part of Matello and the' other muckers who were in the shaft with him. The engineer had been hoisting ore during- the afternoon. The signal , for hoisting ore is one bell, while for hoisting- men is 3-1. Matello and two other muckers got on- the -bucket, each thinking the other gave the proper signal to the engineer for hoisting men. But the engineer received only one ring���the signal for hoisting ore and the bucket came up at a:much faster rate than is usual with men on. When it reached the top of the -shaft the men became excited.' The bucket went higher as is necessary to allow dumping the ore. Matello and one of his companions jumped, : the; other remained in ;the backet. While his companion escaped clear of shaft, poor Matello slipped and fell in, plunging to his death. 215 feet below. He was frightfully mangled and death must have been instantaneous. Matello was an Italian about 40 years of age. He. has a cousin working on the. railway grade and another in. Idaho. ...,-��� Provincial-Constable McMynn visited the Mother Lode and. made inquiries, but did not consider an inquest necessary. The remains were : interred in the Greenwood cemetery, the funeral taking place from Gulley!s~ undertaking, parlors on; Wednesday. Queen," brought the pleasing evening to a close.'

The bond was drawn up and signed under peculiar circum-., stances. The properties were visited and the showing being satisfactory Messrs. NaJen_'and Ceperley made an effort to find the owners. They were told that all had left to-attend the funeral of the late Mr: Kruger. Thither they proceeded and found their men. While the funeral service was proceeding in the.residence, Mr. Ceperley turned his valise into a temporary writing desk; for the,use of Mr. Naden who drew up the bond. : The signatures were then and there secured and the deal was made. The properties bonded are the Anaconda Dividend ' and the Gold Dust, owned by Fisher, et al.

E. G. Warren, of Rossland, who has charge of several properties in Camp McKinney, was in the city, this week. They visited several properties including those in which they are financially interested. They met members of the board of; trade in reference to plans for bringing- the business of their properties into closer touch with the city. Mr;. Jaffray stated that Dominion Copper company,, which had securied Mackenzie, Mann & Co.'s properties, were disposed to do everything possible tomalce Greenwood a large commercial and mning center. Mr. Paul Johnson, the well known smelter expert, has arrived-in Nelson from California and will reach Greenwood in a few days. Mr. Johnson will consult with Mr. Keffer, the manager of the B. C. Copper company, relative to the selection of a site for a smelter. The report in Tuesday's News-Advertiser that the smelter will be built at Cascade, nine miles distant from the Mother Lode mine, is palpably inaccurate. The smelter will be built on Boundary creek, probably at the mouth of Copper creek. R. J.

Gullkv, N.G. Duncan Ross, Rcc. Sec. The Rossland Board of Trade is to be congratulated upon being instrumental in securing the conference of the boards of trade of the Kootenays and Boundary Creek. When the idea was suggested to the different boards, it was favorably considered because it was felt that there were many matters of public interest upon which the different boards could agree and that an organization representing- the different •ections of the province would have greater weight than an individual board. The conference could not be a greater success. Every board of trade in East and West Kootenay and Boundary Creek district was represented. When the conference was opened in the rooms of J. S. C. Fraser the president of the Bank of Montreal the following delegates were present: Moyie, J. P. Farrell; Grand Forks, W. B. Cochrane and Smith, Curtis; Fort Steele,..J. A. Harvey and E.J. Walsh; Cascade, . Stanley , May all; Revelstoke, T. .L,, :Haig and J. T. Brewster; Trail, Col. E. S; Topping- and'W. H. Aldridge; Greenwood, A. J. McMillan and Duncan Ross, and Ross- land, _Hon.' T. Mayne Daly,: and J. S. C. Fraser. Subsequently, during the afternoon session, Messrs. : Roderick Robertson and Frank Fletcher, and Messrs. G. O.Buchanan and H.Giege- rich, representing Nelson and Kaslo respectively, arrived and took part in the proceedings. Mr. Fraser the president of the Rossland board was appointed en airman: of the conference, Duncan.Ross was appointed vice-chairman and H; W. ,C. Jackson secretary, with Fred C. -Mof- fatt of the Rossland Miner as his assistant. Messrs. Daly, McMillan, Haig and Harvey were appointed a committee to outline a plan of procedure. They recommended that an association be formed to be known as the Associated Boards of Tiade of Eastern British Columbia, the membership to be composed of two delegates from each.of the boards of .trade now existing or hereafter organized in the mining districts of Yale. East and West Kootenay and Cariboo. That the annual meeting be held on the first Thursday in August the place of next meeting to be decided by a majority vote at each annual meeting, emergency meetings to be called by the executive committee, who will decide time and place; that the purposeof this organization shall be to discuss and take action upon all questions affecting the general welfare of the people residing within the jurisdiction of the association, and more particularly all matters affecting the mining industry, the officers of the board to consist of a president, two vice-presidents, secretary and an executive committee of six members representing- the various mining districts, each board to pay an annual fee of $15 for general expenses, each delegate present to have a vote. The order of business and regulations tor discussion was also provided. From the different suggestions offered by different boards, the committee also prepared a programme of 18 subjects to be considered but as these subjects are referred to as they were discussed a list is not necessary here. MINING BULLETINS. A. J. McMillan one of the Greenwood delegates introduced the first resolution. Mr. McMillan was one of the most useful members of the conference. He was always ready to urge anything relating to the district he represented and his knowledge of all parts of the province and London was of the greatest value to the conference. The first resolution which he introduced and which was seconded by Hon. Mr. Daly was as follows : That this meeting- of the Associated Board of Trade of Eastern British Columbia hereby .urges upon the provincial government the desirability of issuing quarterly bulletins, giving- information with reference to the output of the mines of the province and such other general information on mining matters as may be of putilic interest. BETTER MAIL SERVICE. After a brief discussion a committee consisting of Messrs. Ross, Harvey, Curtis and Mayall were appointed for the purpose of drafting a resolution dealing with the mail service. On Friday morning Mr. Ross moved, the following resolution. It was seconded by Mr. Harvey and carried unanimously : Whereas, the attention of the associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia has been directed to numerous complaints iri reg-ard to the irregularities in the mail service in various parts'-of ..the- Kootenays and Yale district, to delay in securing^ adequate postal facilities for new and rapid growing- mining: districts, to the insufficient salaries; paid to the postmasters in towns and cities which have j sprung into prominence during- recent years; .to carelessness on the part j of stage companies having contracts* for the conveyance of the mails, to delays in forwarding mails to points adjacent to!-.'main lines of railway land generally- to.insufficient and unsatisfactory, mail service in the districts mentioned : !. And whereas, particulars of complaints will be furnished to the honorable,|the postmaster-general, should he so desire : Therefore be it resolved, that this ^association desire to respectf iilly call the attention of the honorable, the postmaster-general, to the complaints referred to and to urge upon him to take such; steps as will place the postal service in Eastern and Southern British Colunibia on a basis more suited to the requirements of ; the mining country which, ! is. being rapidly developed, which consequently demands speedier and closer attention from the postoffice department than old established districts in the east., And the associaiton desire to particularly urge upon the honorable the postmaster-general, the necessity of providing a daily mail service for all towns which have daily communication by railway, steamers or stages. THE BOUNDARY COUNTRY. Mr. Ross seconded- by Mr. Smith Curtis representing Grand Forks introduced a resolution in reference to the ^official recognition of the Boundary country. After a brief discussion the resolution passed as follows : Whereas, the present Canadian and mining journals have frequent, references to the marvelous richness of the (mineral' resources of that part of British Columbia popularly known as the Boundary country : And whereas, the general public outside; of the provinces have a vague or erroneous impression as to its location, since it is not indicated upon the provincial maps: Therefore be it resolved that this association tirg-e upon the provincial government the desirability of designating the mineral region occupying the Kettle River basin, as "The Boundary District," and of having this district- defined and named on all maps of the province. JUSTICE FOR MINING DISTRICTS One of the most important questions that came before the conference was that introduced by Mr. Buchanan of Kaslo. It related to the injustice done the ; mining districts in the matter of appropriations and sugg-ested as a remedy the organization of municipalities. Mr. Buchanan who is an excellent speaker delivered an interesting address full of facts and figures. He said the chief end sought by the resolution was to secure the roads that were so very urgently needed in every mining section in the province at the present time. A million dollars worth of roads were needed in the Kootenay alone. The present system of attempting to obtain from the provincial government the necessary appropriations to construct roads to open up the districts, had broken down so completely that he had no further use for it. In his own immediate district of Kaslo they had made out a good case for the immediate expenditure of $75,- 000 for roads urgently needed for mining purposes, and the grant given had been only $15,000. The government receipts from all sources last year were something over $2,000,000, made up of (Continued on Page 3.)

SUCCESSOR TO HERBERT <£ GUISE. -W t ..> THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. Board of Trade Meets. (Continued From Page 2.) $561,000, borrowed $451,000 from general receipts, and the balance of $1,023,- 000 from taxation in one form or another. West Kootenay had collected and contributed to Victoria the sum of $293,000, and East Kootenay $58,000, or a total of $350,000; yet for all purposes these districts only obtained back $11,- 000 for West Kootenay, and $21,00o for East Kootenay,;a total of $132,000. Indirectly Kootenay had contributed a much larger sum than that mentioned, and when the government was asked '���. for appropriationssuch totally inadequate aid was given that he for.one was ready to break the existing partnership and try some other method. He was not wedded to a system of municipalities, but if : a better scheme ; was suggested, would gladly support :;; it. The speaker went very fully into the whole question, and concluded an eloquent appeal to the " convention, with the suggestion that this resolution might prove a solution of the difficulties heretofore encountered. (Applause.) Mr, Ross and Col. Topping ��� asked = ��� ; where! the., proposed municipalities would obtain their revenue. , Hon. Mr. Daly yer3r warmly congratulated Mr. Buchanan upon his excellent presentation of the question. He thought a scheme of taxation for. revenue purposes could readily be worked out and . the municipalities could fairly ask the government . for a fair share of the large amount, contributed every year by them and, for which they got so i little in return. He condemned the present system as mostunfair and in- ' adequate, and instanced the grant of $15,000 for Trail Creek and the Boundary combined. Mr. Harvey, Mr. Haig ��� . and other, speakers all agreed that a great in j u stice was perperated by the present system, and the development , of the province seriously; retarded, but expressed some doubts as to ,the working out; of the scheme in detail. Mr. Ross said there was no guarantee that municipalities would make a better distribution than the government. He would favor anj' plan that would give a fairer share of the appropriation than that at present- obtained.-'After Mr.,Curtis'had spoken in favor of'some new system- Mr. Daly, moved a resolution which carried, re'-, ���ferring the motion offered to a committee composed of Messrs. BuchanBiij Curtis,- Harvey, Ross and the-mover* -;', to consider and report in the , morning. ,'i "This committee reported -Mr. Buchan- '���' an'.s tesoiu'tio'nf '; with : some - slight amendments and it was carried as follow? ���. Whereas, there is many parts of " Kootenay, Yale and Cariboo urgent need for the construction of wagon . roads and trails in order that mining properties now being rapidly developed can be reached by pack trains and wagons so that machinery and supplies can be readily and cheaply got into the same: And whereas, the immediate . expenditure of:.a large amount of money hi the construction of said roads and trails is an urgent necessity and would prove a judicious and remunerative ��� investment :'.-��� And whereas, the present scale of appropriation for this purpose is not in any way commensurate with the large revenue yearly collected by the provincial government from the mining ing districts of the province and is barely sufficient for the repair of existing roads and trails, and is such as to give no warrant for the hope that with in any reasonable time the needs of these districts, which are now imperative and pressing, will receive due consideration at the hands of the government: And whereas, the system under which the provincial grants for road construction are expended is not such as to secure results commensurate'vvith the outlay, but is inferior in economy and efficiency to a-system under which . 'such work would have the benefit of local supervision and control : Therefore be it resolved, that it is the sense of this convention that the government should borrow on the credit of the province a sum of money sufficient to build and maintain the roads and bridges which are at present urgently needed throughout the mining districts in the province^ and here after they should adopt a system under which provincial grants for road construction in the mining districts of the province will be more largely increased, the same to be commensurate with the revenue derived therefrom and the expenditure of the same to be made under the supervision and control of commissioners elected by the people, and following the adoption of some such new and adequate system that provisions should be made by provinci H| OUR MILL j$r!

The conference endorsed the memorials of the Rossland and Kaslo boards of trade in reference to representation in the Dominion parliament. PROVINCIAL REPRESENTATION Mr. Ross moved, seconded by Mr. McMillian, that, in the opinion of the associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia the time has arrived when the Boundary district should be given seperate representation in the provincial legislature, and the niemg bers of the associated Boards heartily5 urge upon the British Columbia government the desirability of giving said district such representation without delay. Carried.. SILVER-LEAD QUESTION. The most interesting discussion of the conference was that in connection with the silver-lead question. There were two stalwarts who discussed the question from separate standpoints. Mr. tUichanan made a powerful speech in favor of urging upon the Commission negotiating a treaty with United States, to secure the removal of the U. S. duty of l]i cents per pound on silver-lead ore going into United States. His argument was directed towards the interests of the silver-lead miner. On the other hand Mr. W. H. Aldrige manager of the Trail smelter made a strong- plea for the encouragement of the lead smelting industry. He stated that under exisiing tariff duties the Canadian smelters were shut out of the U. S. market and denied the Canadian markets. Mr. Buchanan's (Continued on Page 5.) ACT, 1896. Improvements MINERAL Certificate of .NOTICE.

(j ThU rapid development of the-min eral resources and, consequent rapid' ���'��� .'growth of towns in the immediate vicinity of .the mines, . brings,, new duties' and responsibilities upon the municipal:fathers in the metropolis of the district. It is of the, utmost im- . portance in the public interest and for the safety of the- citizens t!: it those new duties should -be emnretically undertaken and tho responsibilities promptly fatk-tl. The rapid growth of .the town of Phoenix must be viewed n-ith concern by residents of the city; ��� not .because of the town itself, for if Greeuwoori is to be a city of any importance, v;:��; big bodies in the different mini:., caiiips must be developed; This dew. vinc-nl means the employment of men-and men mean small towns in eacli camp. Every one of these towns will bring its quota of trade to the metropolis; consequently Greenwood 'welcomes their existence and rapid growth. The danger to which we refer lies in, the fact that Phoenix is being built along Twin creek. Hotels and restaurants have their back yards drained by this stream and every sort of contamination finds its way into the water. It would be idle to suppose that Twin creek water could remain pure under those conditions. The danger increases as the new town grows. It is a danger that was not unexpected from the very first. Twin creek was never intended as a suitable source of water for do- .. rnestic purposes. No better source for fire protection could be secured. Before residents are allowed to make connections with the mains, the city council should seriously consider the situation. To keep Twin creek pure is an impossibility. The town must look to Boundary creek for a supply of pure water. , There is nothing more detrimental to the interests of a city than an epi- demtc and nothing,more likely to bring an epidemic than the use of impure water. Impure water will cost the city more than will a pumping station on Boundary creek. to estimate the advantage gained by the good will of Rossland. One has only to examine the hotel registers to become convinced that Rossland is the mecca of the very men that are needed to build up this Boundary Creek' country. Men of capital and mining experienc, make Rossland their home during their sojourn in the province. It is the centre from which the3' operate and the good wishes of the people with whom they come into daily contact must have their influence. We feel sure that Greenwood will reciprocate this feeling in every way. and when the opportunities present themselves, the people here will not be slow in taking advantage of them to assist her friendly sister. There is no reason why one should not assist the other to become two of the largest cities in tho province; one the metropolis of Kootenay and the other the metropolis of Boundary Creek.

If the recent fire was the w-ork of nn incendiary and strong suspicion points in that direction, every effort should be made to bring. the culprit that punishment lie so richly merits. If there be a miscreant who would deliberate^' start a (ire in the centre of the business portion of the.city there is no punishment too severe for him. It is quite possible, notwithstanding the rumors, that the fire was accidental. There is this to be said about the matter, however, that there is altogether too much carelessness shovvn by residents of the city. One has to visit only the backs of the business blocks in the city to find shavings, papers and every kind of ignitibles. Basements are left unboarded so that drunks and tramps can wander underneath buildings. We fear ttiat the authorities are not stringent enough about such matters. Every business man should be forced to keep his place in such a condition that a fire would be almost an impossibility . unless by design. All honor to the brave fire boys for their good work with the limited apparatus at their disposal; but the great desideratum is such a condition that fires are not likely to occur. Wm. Sprott. 4�� POOR ADVERTISING. A business man can waste good money by injudicious advertising ; so can a city. It is idle to suppose that tha city is being well advertised, if the city council succumbs to the blandishment of ever3' fakir who is anxious to get his fingers on some of the city funds. Every city should advertise, but it should advertise judiciously. It should see that a quid pro quo is received for every dollar expended. The San Francisco Wave secured S200 from the city. We would not give $25 for service given in return. For $200 the Wave published execrable photographs of good looking Greenwood citizens and certain articles regarding the city and district. Of these articles two are particularly well written���indeed they are so well written that papers having much larger circulations than the Wave and which are in closer touch w'ith mining men and capitalists would be glad to pay the authors for them. The position is a simple one. An obscure 'Frisco publication sends an agent to Boundary Creek. He induces well known residents to write free of charge articles regarding the city and district. He holds up the city for 3200 to secure the publication of those articles. The Toronto Globe or World or Montreal Star or any other reputable eastern journal would be glad lo publish the same articles, and instead of holding up the city council would pay the authors for writing them. For S200 a lot of effective and legitimate advertising could be secured. If the city council have any more money to expend in advertising, would it not be well to refer the matter to those who know something about the busines? BO CO 3 i> o o 4�� 4�� ROSSLAND.

(Continued From Page 3.) resolution if carried into effect would kill the Canadian smelters and place ,. the lead ore producers at the mercy of the smelting- trust of United States. Finally after a leng-thy discussion the following- resolution was offered in lieu of Mr. Buchanan's and accepted by the meeting : . Resolved, that it is the sense of this association that the larg-est possible amount of relief would be given to the lead mining industry in British Columbia by a reciprocal arrangement with the United States by which lead in bullion and in ore would be admitted free of duty into the market of the United States and that we shall continue to urge upon the Canadian commissioners to the international conference the paramount importance of using every effort to secure such an arrangement. That pending the conclusion of such, a treaty or in event of the final failure of negotiations for such a, treaty it is the sense of this association : (a);- That lead smelted in Canada and refined .abroad should , be readmitted duty.free into Cauada: (b). That import duties upon manufactured lead coming into Canada should be increased to a parity with the ��� duties levied upon other lines of manufactured goods. .'������ (c). That the bounties'alreadyearned , ;by Canadian smelters under the act for the encburatement of silver-lead smelting-,1 1895, should be immediately adjusted and paid. . ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The conference decided to meeting at Nelson on the first Thursday of August next year. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, J.-S. C. Fraser; vice presidents, Roderick Robertson and G. O. Buchanan; executive, Duncan Ross, J. A. Harvey, T. M. Daly, E. S. Topping, T. L. Haig and Smith Curtis; H. W. C. Jackson, secretary-treasurer. MANY SUBJECTS. Many subjects were referred to a committee to draft resolutions covering- the same. The committee reported Friday evening. The reso.utions which were endorsed by the conference, were as follows: ' "Whereas, owing to the rapid development of the mineral resources towns and cities have sprung-into prominence tion. in the Kootenay and Yale districts,and whereas the provincial government has failed to afford those towns and cities such facilities for the transaction of ��� public and court business as the importance of their mining, legal and general, business demands.. Be .it resolved that in the opinion of this association special effort should be made . by the provincial government in providing- such government offices and officers and sittings of the supreme and county county courts as are required to expedite the mining-and leg-al business of the cities referred to, and the mineral regions tributary thereto. .-', Whereas, the population and wealth of the districts of Yale and Kootenay have- been advancing- by leaps and bounds in the past few years and ' whereas several towns have in that time developed into important residential centers, and others are constantly being added to the list, and whereas the lack of such educational facilitiesas is to be obtained in places of similar size in the older settled sections of the Dominion or in the adjoining state of Washington, greatly militate against the securing or retaining the better class of residents for sitch towns. Therefore be it resolved, that at least one high school should be provided for the district, to be located at the point which can show the most qualified pupils; and Be it further resolved, That the provincial government should hereafter provide appropriations for the maintenance of the common schools of these districts commensurate with the constantly increasing school population. Whereas, great inconventence is experienced in determining the location of occupied lands in the outlying districts of the province; Be it resolved, That the government be requested to furnish a map of each district, showing the position of such lands. A copy of said map to be on exhibition in the government office of each district and to be kept corrected up to date. Whereas, the provincial government aids in the construction and maintenance of roads to mines whenever such roads are situated outside the incorporated limits of any city or town. Therefore be it resolved, That wherever mines paying . royalty on output are situated within the incorporated limits of any city 20 per cent, of said royalty should be paid over to such municipality by the provincial g-overn- ment to aid in the construction and maintenance of roads to mines within the limits of such municipality. Whereas, while this association is desirous of recording its appreciation of the government's action in locating- and erecting a land registry office at Nelson. This association would at the same time urge upon the government the necessity of extending this system of erectingi local registry offices to other districts in order to facilitate the large increase of transfers of property. The want of such facilities at present greatly retarding the transaction of business in the outlying districts of Kootenay and Yale. , That it is the opinion of this association that the government establish a school of mines at some central point in the district of Kootenay or Yale. Whereas, it having been brought to the notice of this association that owners of mineral claims have of late been compelled on the demand of the, government inspector to pay a royalty upon all timber cut upon crown g-ranted mineral claims, whether such timber has been used for mining purposes or otherwise. Be it resolved, That in the opinion of this association such action upon the part of the government is an infringement upon the rights granted to the owners of mineral claims under the provisions of the mineral act, and is calculated to work a hardship upon companies or individuals developing mineral ciaims, and the same should be discontinued. , Whereas, the question has lately been raised as to the absolute right of holders of mineral claims to purchase the surf ace rights of such claims. Be it resolved, That in the opinion of the association that the right of the holder of a mineral claim to purchase the surface rights thereof shall become absolnte upon his, obtaining a crown grant thereof. c- Whereas, it is the opinion of this board that very serious harm has resulted in the past from the frequency with which at short notice the mining laws of this province have been subjected to far reaching changes by the provincial legislature. Be it therefore resolved, That this- board respectfully suggest to the government whenever any material changes in the mineral laws are contemplated to give early notice of their intention so to do, in such manner that those portions of the province vitally interested in mining may have time to consider and make due representations concerning- the proposed changes before the same are brought before the local legislature. Whereas, the association regrets that the minister of railways has been unable to secure the passage of such legislation in reference to the location of stations along the lines of g-overnment aided railways in course of construe- HUNTER-KENDRICK GO.

Be it therefore resolved, That in the opinion of this association the subject of the location of stations by railway companies along then lines of railway is one that should receive the immediate and earnest attention of the ' minister of railways and calls , for early legislation. Whereas,, it is extremely desirable that this province be properly represented in London. And, whereas, the grant for this purpose is inadequate. Therefore be it Resolved, That this convention respectfully suggest that the provincial government should immediately place the position of the British Columbia agency in London on a more satisfactory footing by appropriating- an annual sum of not less than $25,000 for this purpose, by appointing- a properly paid agent-general and by securing an office in the business heart of London. A special committee was appointed to memoralize the government upon the eight-hour law. THE SMOKING CONCERT. On Thursday evening the citizens of Rossland tendered the visiting delegates a complimentary smoker. Mayor Goodeve, in a neat speech, welcomed the visitors to the city. He pointed out the importance of the conference, inasmuch as every board of trade in Kootenay and Boundary Creek were represented. There was an excellent programme rendered by the Rossland people. Short speeches were delivered dy the delegates. THKTRAir, SMELTER. On Saturday the delegates visited the leading mines, accompanied by members of the Rossland board of trade. In the afternoon they were the guests of Mr. W. H. Aldridge' at the Trail smelter. Mr. Aldridge is conj tinually enlarging the plant. The writer had a lengthy conversation with him relative to the treatment of Boundary Creek ores. Mr. Aldridge was quite frank regarding the intentions of the Canadian Pacific Railway company. They had their experts in the district and were pretty thoroughly acquainted with the value and character of Boundary Creek ore. Some ores they were sure could pay all charg-es and leave a big profit. But there were large bodies of low grade ore that they were not so sure of. Now the Canadian Pacific Railway company had invested a large sum in building a road into Boundary Creek. To secure a return on the money invested a large amount of ore must be transported. So far as the smelter is concerned, its policy will be to treat Boundary ores at a sufficiently low rate to make profitable the mining of low grade ores. Ores will be treated at Trail first until a more accurate knowledge is attained when a smelter will be built in the heart of Boundary district, most probably on Boundary creek. The big smelting works running full blast are well worth a visit and the visitors were deeply interested in Mr. Aldridge's lucid explanations regarding the treatment ore. VICTORIA, B.

RICH MYERS GREER. DESCRIBED BY PERCY CODERNATH Big Ledges of Rich Ore Being Developed-Can- adian Capital Largely Interested in Some of the Leading Properties. "There is every indication that the Myers Creek Mining- district will have as big- a boom as Republic," said Percy P. Godernath,.whO returned here the first of the week, after a three weeks visit to the district. "Already Canadian capital is interested there, and when I say Canadian capital, I mean Greenwood too. It was a Greenwood mining- brokerag-e firm, Messrs. Mc- Entire& McDonnell, who secured the . Review mine on Percy mountain. - I understand that eastern Canadian-, investors are interested in the deal also; and some Jays back Prof. Montgomery, the well known mining- expert,, examined the property and expressed himself highly satisfied with the result ���no doubt/he examined the mine for. eastern parties. .

"The Review is developed by a 250- foot tunnel on-the ledg-e,-'following- the trend of the'footwallV Wlien in this distance a crosscut was run from the footwall to the hanging wall and the vein measures, at this point 46 feet of ore. The tunnel is now. being extended- into the hill. The management also propose sinking a 100-foot winze and opening up anpther level. The ore .is a bluish-white -qtiartz,' and -I was informed that the whole of the ore body would average. something above $15 per ton. "With 46 feet of a vein the Review mine leadsthe,cj.mp.,, Two miles west of the Review - is * another, 'promising mine, th�� War Eagle. This is at present a ���'sinking-"'proposition'.'.. The shaft Is down 70 feet. For the first 55 feet it passed through a -broken,..-up, quartz, formation when, it' encountered the hanging wall of the ledge and for- the past 15 feet the shaft has been sunk through a curly-blew quartz and the footwall isyet'to be reached: Two' samplings of this ��� ore body gave 'an average value of $16.50 per ton in gold and silver. "Adjoining' and paralleling this promising mine is.the Wisconsin group that has some immense showings. The War Eagle shaft is about.75 "feet���_ from the west side line of the Wisconsin and the strike of'itheir vein would indicate that the .apex of the War Eagle ledge will be found on the Wisconsin ground. The development-so far-has only been assessment-work.' Prom a sample of the ore taken out of a 10-foot shaft on the center quartz lead of the Wisconsin, F. N. Cummings,. the Greenwood engineer,-obtained- $41 in gold and- silver, and this only at such a slight depth. I mention this as one of a number of instances coming under my own notice of claims showing well defined ledges that 'stand up' when sampled. The Wisconsin group is being acquired by a company in .which, a number.of Greenwood parties have become interested. - , '���'��������� ���-���; ������ "On Percy :mb'urifain. which by the way, the boys were kind enough to name after myself, there are a number of properties' undergoing development. Stewart & Knowles have interested Spokane capital in the development of several claims. The Strawberry,'owned by Smith & Newcomb has ; also a good quartz showing-.. ��� .-.-���������-��� -������������ - "On the east side of Myers creek, 2}A miles south of Chesaw, is the mill,of the Crystal Butte mine. The mill is rapidly nearing completion and will be crushing ore before the first of next mouth. Also on this side of the creek but three miles north from the mill is the King Solomon mine. The original development .of the mine consisted of an incline shaft sunk on a small stringer of quartz, about three inches in width. .The shaft followed . it down about 35 feet, in which distance it had widened out to 2yi feet.' The management then let a contract for a. 200- foot tunnel that will, when completed, encounter the vein at a- depth of 130 feet. At the time of my visit to the mine the tunnel had been diiven in a distance of 150. feet. "It would require much more space to mention many other promising prospects that I, visited. There are numbers of people going itito that district and many small deals have been con- sumated. In the heart of the Myers Creek valley is the new and bustling town of Chesaw. It is prettily situated on the right bank, of the creek. The Chesaw Improvement company owns the land and has had same surveyed out in blocks and lots. J. well known here, is the townsite agent. With so many promising properties surrounding Chesaw, I have ever belief that it will in the course of a few-years be as big a camp as Republic. At the present time, with the amount of work done on the claims, it beats Republic at an equal stage of the game. Of course Republic has ' produced some sensational mines���Myers creek may produce , in time just as many. It is a young camp, only slightly developed but of great promise. The next big boom will in all probability be in the Myers Creek mining district. ������ ���'The camp is easy of access, from Greenwood by .wagon road it is 28 miles. From Republic by trail it is 35 miles. It is, a bunch grass country over which a buckboard can be driven anywhere. Old timers say it greatly resembles Cripple Creek and with development it, may .turn out to be the case both in appearance and in production." ,' '" Messrs.- Holbrook, Keen & Co. have been appointed Greenwood agents for the Chesaw townsite. The lots were placed on the market on Tuesday morning and before noon 32 lots were,sold. Chesaw, is growing- rapidly. Last week, contracts were let for the erection of 26 new buildings. Two Indian ranches near: the town were. rehted by enter- prising ranchers last week. MINERAL ACT, 1896. Certificate , of improvements. NOTICE.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1899-08-12 |
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. |
