Vol, I, GREENWOOD CITY, B,C��� SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1897, No, 25, TOPICS OF THE WKFK. That the C.P.R. is anxious to secure the Boundary Creek trade is, of course, obvious. It is just as clear that unless a branch line is built from Penticton to Boundary, the bulk of the freig-ht consigned to local storekeepers will be shipped via Marcus, over the American roads. The people of Boundary are patriotic Canadians only so far as they can afford to be ; and if they find that American transportation is cheaper ��� than Canadian, they will invariably choose the former, despite sentiment. At the same time it is to be regretted that���if the statement made by Mr. Miller, secretary . of the Anaconda Commercial Club, at the meeting- on Wednesday, is correct regarding the cost of freighting: from Okanagan Falls ���the C.P.R. have been misled into making important concessions under ��� the apprehension that if they did so their road would be better patronised than heretofore. It was distinctly stated by Mr. Snodgrass, who now has the contract fron the C.P.R. to carry freight at the Company's expense from, Penticton to Okanagan Falls, that, provided an arrangement to this effect . was riiade with him, freighters would be willing to haul from Okanag-an Falls to Boundary for l^c. per pound. . . It now appears- that freig-hters are not willing to do anything of the sort, but will demand the same price former- ty received for the haul through from Penticton when the roads were in bad condition. Mr. G. B. McAuley, secretary of the Cariboo mine at McKinney, is visiting- Victoria. Asked confidentially the nature of his business there, he explained as follows: "Well, I'll tell you. You see there are so many private bills before the legislature for water power that I thought I would get ahead of the rest ; so I am going to apply for a few air sites above Rossland, with the right to supply power to the air compressors at the mines." If Mr. McAuley asked for a charter g-iving him sole proprietorship of the air breathed in British Columbia, with the privilege of prosecuting every man, woman or child interfering with his monopoly, he would not be much less modest in his demands, or show more cheek, than the majority of the applicants now besieging the government for private bills in their favor. .The prospectors of Trail have hit upon a capital plan to sell their claims without calling in the assistance of a middleman. An association has been organized, only bona fide prospectors owning claims in the neighborhood being eligible for membership, each inember being entitled by payment of a nominal fee"��to list his property with the secretary, who will practically be retained to act as the association's broker on salary. By this plan two evils are avoided: the option system which takes the property entirely out of the prospector's hands, often to his great disadvantage ; and the asking of exorbitant prices by brokers, who frequently treble and quadruple the prospector's price before making a s^-le, besides receiving their 10 per cent, commission. There can be no doubt but that many more investments would have been made last year in Boundary had not brokers���not prospectors��� asked preposterous prices for mere prospects. Mr. Bostock, M.P., makes the excellent sug-gestion that British subjects in Cariboo-Yale-Kootenay should show their loyal appreciation of the fact that the Queen's reign has been the long-est in British history, by presenting Her Majesty with a suitable gift in the. .shape of a bar of g"old from each producing mine in Yale-Cariboo, enclosed in a casket made of silver mined in Kootenay. A casket constructed of cut and polished specimens of quartz, showing the native gold and silver, and containing a congratulatory address from representatives of every camp, might perhaps be a still more unique manner of carrying out the same idea. AN EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR. Much excitement was occasioned in Greenwood yesterday morning by the news that Mr. James Hood had been shot at and wounded in the" arm by. a man whose identity has not been discovered, near the Recorder's office at Midway, about 3 o'clock that morning. The circumstances of the case are as follows : At midnight on Thursday the Mountain View claim, adjoining the Mother Lode on the .North-west and owned by a prospector named Williamson, "ran out," and in consequence several parties set out during the evening to re-stake the ground. Mr. Hood and Mr. F. B. Smith formed one party, and Mr. J. Fisher and, Mr. W. Lewis another. After re-staking the claim Mr. Hood jumped on a cayuse and succeeded in reaching- Midway 20 minutes in advance of Messrs. Fisher and Lewis, who were driven down by Mr. Corn- stock in a sleigh. -Mr. Comstock, accompanied by Mr. Fisher, had gone to put the team in the livery-stable, and Hood and Lewis were quietly conversing a few yards distant from the Recorder's office, when they were suddenly startled by a succession of revolver shots fired from the corner of the building. After about four shots had been fired. Hood said, "Bill, I'm shot; we'd better clear out of this," and both men made their way as quickly as possible in the direction of the Boundary hotel, Lewis supporting Hood. All the witnesses to this strange affair tell the same story, that the shots were fired without a previous warning being given. None of party, so they empatically state, were creating the slightest disturbance. Hood's wound, which is fortunately more painful than dangerous, the bullet passing through the muscles of the rig-ht arm below the elbow without touching the bone, was dressed at 5 o'clock on Friday morning. The revolver used was evidently of small calibre, otherwise the result would have been very different. A searching enquiry will be made as to the perpetrator of this dastardly outrage who, if found, should be punished with the utmost rigor of the law. The B. C. Central Mining Company. Mr. K. F. Burt, of Spokane, one of the principal promoters of the B. C. Central Mining- Company, has purchased for the company the Little Buffalo and the Peacock claims in Deadwood camp. On the, Little Buffalo, which adjoins the Morrison on the south, the small amount of work done shows up a fine body of pyhrrhotite. The Peacock was only discovered last summer but is in a promising locality near the Sunset. No B. C. Central stock has yet been placed on .the market, the promoters laudably intending by pri- , vate subscription among themselves to thoroughly develop the properties before inviting the public,to buy shares. Work is to be started on all three claims on or before the 1st of April; as the weather permits. Mr. Burt, who has had over 23.years experience of mining in California and Idaho, believes very firmly in the future of Boundary Creek. r MINING NOTES. The tunnel on the D. A. is in 35 feet in gfood ore. ��� ������. Work was'started^ this week on the Rob Roy, adjoining the No. 7, in' Central camp. . A rich lead has been struck on the Morning Star mine at Fairview, the ore assaying over $300. The assessment work recently completed on the Old Guard, owned by Alex. Wallace, in Central camp, has shown up a larg-e body of quartz. Slow progress is being made with the shaft on the Cornucopia owing to the extreme hardness of the rock, as many as three hundred drills having been dulled in one day. Only one shift is now working. A Toronto syndicate has made arrangements to acquire an interest in the Canadian claim, Skylark camp, owned by Mr. J. Sutherland, in consideration of performing a specified amount of development work on the property. The vein in the drift on the No. 7 has widened out to three and a half feet of clean ore. There is enoug-h ore on the No. 7 now in sight to pay the purchase price of the mine and the cost of the development work that has been done twice over. The Alice and Emma claims at Camp McKinney have been sold by a Victoria company to Mr. G..-.B. McAuley, secretary of the Cariboo Mining Company, for a valuable consideration. Mr. Milligan, of Greenwood, was one of the directors of the original company owning the two properties. ' Nearly the whole of the bottom of the shaft on the Jewel is quartz, although of low value. Sinking is not progressing at a very rapid rate owing to the increased depth of the shaft which renders hoisting by windlass a laborious and slow process. Mr. Hill, the manag-er, is disappointed at not receiving from Rossland the missing parts of the machinery belonging to the new steam hoist which should have arrived this week.

The work already accomplished by the Boundary Creek- Mining & Commercial Association, both in the inter- ests of Green wood. and. the whole dis- v=trict, has been of an "exceedingly useful character, and the pains-taking and energetic manner in which the secretary has attended to his ��� duties��� by-the-way he assuredly, has no sine- \ cure���is worthy of all praise. It is, therefore, all the more to be deplored that there should be any reason to fear, almost at the outset of its career, the o disorganization of a society through whose influence, if rightly directed, so much might be done of a nature beneficial to " Greenwood and the subsidiary- camps." From its inception, however, certain of the members have taken up-. . on themselves���prompted, we are quite prepared to believe, by honest and disinterested motives, but nevertheless somewhat officiously���the task of " running " the association on peculiar methods of their own ; and thus many matters have been decided and deait with without the sanction or even ��� knowledge of other members attending- only the regular meetings. As a result, several have expressed their intention of withdrawing from the association and taking no active part in its work, to show their disapproval of the existing state of affairs. We believe that we are correct in stating that no systematic effort has been made to place the association on a proper business footing-, and that the funds in the treasurer's hands are inadequate to meet the liabilities already incurred. Moreover, with a recklessness certainly not creditable to the business acumen of the so-called com- mittee, fresh debts bearing huge proportions to the service rendered have been contracted, before any provision had been made to settle previous outstanding accounts. It is beside the question to argue, as a member did in our hearing this week, " oh, the town- site people will have to pay it! " It is unreasonable to expect two men alone to shoulder the debts of the society, and even were they willing it would be inadvisable to have the impression formed that the association is merely an annex of the townsite���or any other business. Under these circumstances it can hardly be a matter for surprise that the association is not being- accorded that amount of respect-to which it should be entitled and which is freely accorded the less pretentious sister organization at Anaconda. If the Boundary Creek Mining- & Commercial Association is to be anything of a factor in advancing the development of the district, the present " hole-in-the-corner " manner in which things are carried on must give place to. a more businesslike policy. When it ceases to be representative its usefulness is gone. " Mr. J. Hunt, of Kalispel, Mont., was in Greenwood this.week, in company with Mr. Q. B. Nelson, looking over the country with a view to investment. What: struck Mr. Hunt's 'attention more than anything else was the hospital of which, he remarked, " the people cannot be sufficiently proud; it is the finest institution in the country." Though'still in the prime of life, Mr. Hunt is no tenderfoot, having come up -from 'Frisco in 1S51. The owners of the Cariboo mine at Camp McKinney recently ordered an air drill and compressor from the Dast, but for some unaccountable reason the outfit was consigned to Rossland, and. now lies at/ Trail landing-, awaiting- re- ��� shipment via Penticton. fZrORBES M.

THE CHANGES OF TEN YEARS. Until one talks with some of the pioneer prospectors on Boundary Creek, it is difficult to realize the remarkable progress that has.been made in the development of the district during the past ten years. It is. hard to credit that in 1887 there were hardly twenty- five people to be met with between Rock Creek and Grand Prairie ; or that there were no roads, no stores, and no mail service ; that sugar sold at 30 cents a pound and flour broug-ht as much as $5.00 a sack. With prospects of two and perhaps three railways in view, one can afford to look back at the early days of the camp's history with a certain amount of enjoyment, in the same sense as a man ���whose whipping days are over is affectionately reminiscent of his years spent at school. One of the owners of the annexed portion of the Greenwood townsite, Mr. James Sutherland, tells an interesting- story of Boundary Creek in 1887. He came to the country from Spokane, travelling over the then apology for a trail, swimming- rivers and dodging trees as best he could until he reached Grand Prairie. He had only been here a few days when he was called upon to act as a special constable, to arrest a certain bad, bold man who was terrorizing the neighborhood. This gentleman went by the euphonious sobriquet of " Dakota Charlie," though he was sometimes known as " Blizzard Bill " �� or "Bronco Bill." A warrant was made out by W. A. Jones, the customs officer and the only J.J?, in the country, for the capture of the desperado, and a posse of mounted men, armed to* the teeth���a well-known pioneer farmer, now a resident of Anaconda, believing in Judge I^ynch's speedy and effective methods'of justice, carried a rope���and led by Mr. Sutherland started courageously on their errand. On the way, however, they thought better of it���and returned quietly to their homes: In��1887 there were only three claims located on Boundary. Creek, the Tunnel, Non Such and Republic, and one on the Prairie, the Bagle. The Tunnel, staked by Mr. McCarren, of Boundary Falls, was really the first location on the creek, thoug-h Mr. W. T. Smith loqated the Non Such and Republic shortly afterwards. In 1890 a small two-stamp mill was erected near the Boundary creek falls, by the Spokane & Northern Mining- Company,^he machinery being packed in on mules over the trail. The mill was kept running: for about four months, the ore from the Mountain View being treated very successfully until it began to turn base. Some picked ore from the Non Such was also treated, funning $150 to the ton. Beyond this there was little doing in the way of mining-. Until the government contracted for a monthly mail service in 1890, letters were entrusted to the first traveller who happened to be passing-. When, however, Mr. Sutherland, ran his stage to Marcus, making the round trip once a month, he consented to carry letters at the rate of 25c. ea.h. When the first store was started on Grand Prairie, supplies were brought in from Hope by pack train via the Similkameen, and prices were consequently in proportion to the length and difficulty of the trip. The Boundary Mines Company have allowed the bond on the Falcon and Rob Roy claims, in Central camp, to lapse. ���J. PIERCY ��fe C��, 25, 27 29, YATES STREET, VICTORS A, BmCm Wholesale. Dry Goods.

At the meeting: on'; Wednesday Mr. Hind,, chairman of the dance committee, made a very satisfactory report, the receipts of the evening- on the occasion of the masquerade ball given last Friday Joy the Club being' $141.70 and the expenditure $92.78, leaving- a balance in the Club's favor of $51.88. On motion the report was accepted, and a vote of thanks tendered to the members of the committee and to Messrs. Kay and Miller for their services. The secretary drew the attention of the meeting- to the fact that a sufficient sum was now in the treasurer's hands to clear the Club of all indebtedness and to pay the expenses connected with the publication of the pamphlet des- s criptive of the town and district now in the press. The statement was received with applause. Mr. Munro sug-g-ested and afterwards made.a motion to the effect that, a letter be sent to the- Minister of Mines requesting that the Provincial Mineralogist be instructed to visit and report on the Boundary Creek district as soon as possible. An interesting- discussion followed the reading- of a letter from Mr. Allan Cameron, stating- that although the C.P.R. had made arrang-ements which would, come into effect after the 1st of April for freight consigned to Boundary creek to be carried as far as Oka- nag-an Falls, Mr. Snodgrass and not the railway company would be entirely responsible for the safe delivery of all g-oods after they left Penticton. Mr. Miller showed that in spite of the- recent concessions of the C.P.R. it would be cheaper for merchants here to order their supplies via Marcus, because none of the freig-hters on the road would consent to haul from even Okanagan Falls for less than 2c. per pound. Unless the C.P.R. put freight teams of their own on the road and reduced the price of hauling, he was convinced that most of the freight for this district would be carried over American lines. At the request of a number of those who attended the masquerade ball last Friday, the Club have consented to give another dance on the 26th of March. This, for the sake of novelty, will be a "hard times" ball, the guests to wear their oldest and shabbiest garments. Mr. Iv. M. Kelly was proposed for membership, and Mr. H. M. Ivamb was elected an honorary member of the Club. ����� With the expectation of a heavy demand for building- material in the spring, the Boundary Creek Milling- & lyumber Co. are taking- advantag-e of the excellent condition of the roads to haul logs to their yards. At .-the', mill-., yard above Anaconda already half a million feet of logs have been piled, and over a hundred thousand feet at the Greenwood yard. The Anaconda sawmill was started up on Thursday. Jack Cockerel, the discoverer of the famous boulder of clean galena ore which was found near the Slocan Star mine and yielded after treatmint nearly $11,000, passed through on Monday on his way to Keremeos where he owns several claims.

THE BOUNDARY CEEEK TIMES. fv CAMP MCKINNEY NOTES. It is not improbable that a townsite will be surveyed at McKinney in the near future. The prospects of the camp are exceedingly bright arid it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there is a mining- boom there this year, as expected, townsite property will become valuable. Mr. H. Nicholson has ordered a large stock of general merchandise and is enlarging and re-arranging his store, in anticipation of a brisk trade in the spring. . It is proposed to erect a large first- class hotel at McKinney. Mr. Bash has shipped nearly 500 lbs. of specimens from the Victoria claim to different points. Two drifts are now being run on the claim, both of which are in about 250 feet. The rock is very soft and easy to work, and progress is being made at the rate of 27 feet each week. In the upper drift the ledge, has not yet been struck. Messrs. Cope and Yonkin are working on the L,e Roi and War Eagle claims, and a shaft is now down on one of the claims 40 feet. The ore steadily improves with depth and is almost identical with that from the two great Rossland mines of the same name. The owners have on two coca's sions - received most advantageous offers to bond their claims���one bond was for $50,000���but refused in each case. L/ast week, while the mail was tern transferred to the stage, the horses be came restive and finally bolted ; one of them has not been recovered. Some time ago a specimen of ore, about 6x4 inches, taken from the Cariboo mine was sent to. Spokane and was found to contain $90 in gold. Very few people realise the amount of development work that has been done in this mine. From the shaft, whi :;h is down about 200 feet, tliere are drifts at three levels, respectively 80, 150 and 200 feet, extending between 450 and 600 feet. The drift at the 80-foot level was worked out, but in the others enough ore has been stoped to keep the mill running, even with its additional ten stamps, for two years to come. It is worthy of note that even the famous Cariboo has been condemned by experts, when the lead was lost at the depth of 100 feet in the shaft. Its dis- > appearance was found to be due to a slip, the vein being again reached after a drift to the east had been run for about 30 feet. cr Rich Discovery of Cobalt and Nickel Ores. A discovery of rich ore assaying $85 the values being principally in nickel and cobalt was recently made by Messrs. Chaplin and Otis, on the property of the Anchor Mining Company, near San Pierre creek, or. about twelve miles from Nelson on the Colville reservation. A tunnel has been driven for 70 feet on the claim, and the ledg-e has been found to be 12 feet wide. Through Mr. R. Russell, one of the members of Dier & Davidson, several syndicates have been formed in the Bast to purchase some of the claims in Fairview, to develop which separate companies will be incorporated. .!.,i.J.a..'L,iW.-^;SJ!,?*Jr3a..!.��.JJ��!J��!!!^.,.��"-.!P,l."..,laa Dissolution of Partnership, TlTOTICE is hereby given that the partner- X jL ship heretofore existing between Samuel Webb and George Seymour, carrying on the business of-hotel keepers at the Windsor hotel, Greenwood, B.C., has this da3T been dissolved by mutual consent, S.

GRAND FORKS MINING NOTES. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.] It must be acknowledg-ed that this is a very poor time of the year to expect much encouraging- information of mining- operations. The usual" amount of work is g-oing on around here, chiefly development work, and as this progresses some improvements in the values of the ores not infrequently 0 result. Speculation is rife as to the outcome of the present trouble between the owners and companies controlling* the Seattle and Volcanic mines. ^Locators, claimants and stockholders are seriously at loggerheads. That there is a " nigger in the woodpile " no one will dispute. It is the opinion of mining- men here that the Seattle case is far from being settled. Hay and McCullum gained their suit ag-ainst Clarke, and from all evidences have secured the principal interest in the mine���the interest in dispute outside of that actually owned by .Robt. Clarke. Now Manly, Averill and Cumming are suing Clarke for damages. How the matter will terminate is yet to be seen; the present claimants to the property intend starting- work at once. As matters now stand one-half of the mine, or its stock, is owned by Hay and McCullum, while the other owned or rather claimed by Clarke is in. dispute. The famous Volcanic mine is also in . "hoc." Before work can be started, two law suits have. to be settled ; the one between R. A.* Brown and the orig-- inal compan-y-who advanced the money to develop the property three years ago, and by which financial assistance Mr. Brown ran a crosscut tunnel 345 feet; and the other involving J. McConnell's claim. When these cases have been settled, Neils L/arson has an axe to grind, and altogether the prospects of the property being- worked for some time to come are very dubious indeed. But then these two are not the only good mines in the country and those that are now being actually developed are enough with their present showings to make Grand Forks an important centre ere long-. There are at present seventeen claims on the North Fork under development. The contractors on the Bonita have reached a distance of 30 feet on their 100-foot crosscut, and the vein at this point is very wide. . This property is owned by a syndicate of school-teachers in Spokane. Li. R. Rodg-ers, who is now engag-ed in running- a crosscut to tap the River- view and Lincoln claims, on the bench to the east of town, expects to reach ��� the point-of intersection on or about the first of next month. The tunnel will be 150 feet long and the cross-section of the two veins will be tapped at a vertical depth of 180 feet. Mr. Rodg-ers was the fortunate owner of the Alfa mine at Rossland, recently sold for $70,000i He is also largely interested with Mr. John Ashfield in Summit camp. Possibly one of the best properties now being opened up on 4he North Fork is the Minnie, near the Wolverine, where Dr. Averill is sinking-a 100-foot shaft under contract. The men are now down 25 feet and have ten feet of sulphide ore running high in gold. Cabins have been built at the Taco- ma claim, one of the Boulevarde group six miles up the river. Development work is being prosecuted under .the charg-e of the Chas. Moon and Georg-e Nash. Mr. Keoug-h and his two sons are at 'present:engag-ed- in ..opening- ��� up two claims near the R-Bell in Summit camp, and are awaiting- the arrival of machinery .from Salt I^ake. The. "'R- Bell shaft is full of water, hence since the vein was struck it has been impossible to continue work. A part of the hoisting- and pumping g-ear has, however, arrived. J. E}. Walker, representing- a Spokane company, is driving a tunnel to crosscut the Garnet ledge on Garnet mountain, Pass creek. The vein has just been reached and recent specimens therefrom are worth seeing. Mr. Walker says, "The claim, is not for sale, but I propose to make a shipping- and paying- mining- proposition out of of it. before I give up." A colored man, whose name I am un- , able to learn, and who made a very profitable sale at Rossland last ''fall, as' working- on a prospect' at Pass creek, which from all accounts is turning out well. -'" Among: others the following pros-.- pects are being- developed in the North Fork country at the present time : the Wolverine, Viola, Indian Queen, Columbia, Strawberry, Coin, Ivee, (Napo- lean, Bonanza and Earthquake. Grand Forks, Feb. 23. Mr. Neil Cochrane, the mining- representative of Messrs. McL/aren Bros., the great lumber merchants of Ottawa and New Westminster, was in Greenwood this week, and intends when the snow leaves the hills to visit the camps in the interest of his employers. The Mclyaren Bros, are already owners of valuable mines at Golden, Washington, and recently purchased a large block of War E}agle stock before the sale occurred of the mine to the Gooderhams. It is probable that Mr. James Mclvaren, one of the brothers, will himself visit Boundary shortly. NEW COMPANIES. Among the local companies gazetted this week are the following : The Brandon & Golden Grown Mining Co., of Rossland, of whom the trustees are : Hon. T. M. Daly, William J. Porter, William A. Fuller, Andrew Kelly and W. A. Macdonald.

Mr. Green completed the survey of the Jewel and Denero Grande on Monday. Mr. T. A. Garland has, purchased the Snow King and Winner, in Wellington camp. The Snow King adjoins the Reno. Mri J. C. Haas this week completed the purchase of Jim Dale's half-interest in the Golconda group of claims in Smith's camp. Mr. J. Coryell is surveying- the Monarch, in Greenwood, camp, notwithstanding- the snow which is five feet deep in the vicinity. The British-Canadian Gold. Fields and Exploration Co. have made final payments on the Lewellah, Iva Lenore and Ethiopia claims. Work is. to be, started on all three"properties shortly. Mr. L. A. Bielenberg- has refused an offer of $16,000 for a half-interest in a ,, claini in the Slocan called the Rio, situated in the vicinity of the Dardanelles, Surprise and Cariboo mines. Messrs. Haas and.McNicol intend to start work next week on the Great Hesper, in Smith's camp. . The present tunnel will be continued and a 50-foot shaft sunk on the lead, which is now; known to be 3)4 feet wide. The ore is galena, and iron and copper pyrites, in a quartz g-ang-ue. Mr. C. F. Bartholemew left on Tuesday for Spokane to order a .whim for the Combination. The shaft is now down 60 feet on the claim, and the. ledge has widened to five feet. A force of men commenced on Monday to run a tunnel by which it is expected to strike a second ledge at a distance , of 40 feet from the mouth, and also tap the discovery lead at a depth of 400 feet. Mr. O. B. Nelson, of Carson, visited Greenwood on Saturday and was much surprised at the growth of the town during the past year. He cTemembered travelling- over the rough trail through what is now Greenwood to Copper camp barely 18 months ago, when the townsite was covered with brush and fallen timber, and one by no. means pretentious log- cabin was the only habitable building-. Mr. Nelson is very enthusiastic anent the Colville reservation claims. Crown Grants.���When applying for crown grants, request that,the advertising- thereof be published in The Boundary Creek Times,���the mining- paper of the district. Mr. A. Anderson, C. P. R. freig-ht agent, has been staying in Greenwood during the past week. The Canadian Pacific, Mr. Anderson says, recognise that immediate action is necessary in order to compete successfLilly with rival systems, hence after the 1st of April the company will carry freight to Okanagan Falls at the same rate now charged to Penticton.

Mr. Thomas, of Rossland, is preparing- to build a 20-room hotel in Cascade City. An Option was given on six lots in Greenwood this week to visitors from Calgary. Mr. Otto Dillier went out to Spokane last week on business connected with his mining-properties. Mr. Wm. Drury, well known in this district, is slowly recovering- from a very severe illness at Rossland. In addition to his purchase on Copper street, Mr. Russell has secured one of the best locations on Government street, lot 7, block 15, immediately op posite The Times office, where he is preparing- the foundation for his new hardware store. Mr. L/ewis Hind left by yesterday's stag-e for Rossland and Vancouver on the Anaconda Townsite Company's business. Mr. W. De Vere Hunt, of Calg-ary who is at present visiting- Greenwood, is a brother of "Iota," the famous authoress of "The Yellow Aster." Mr. A. B. Hart, of Greenwood, has the contract for erecting- a building- at Grand Forks for Miss Zellwood, who is opening" a millinery establishment there. The question regarding- a miner's rig-ht to the timber on his claim, under certain conditions, has been submitted to Mr. Graham, M.P.P., to obtain a ruling-. On Monday Mrs. Wiseman returned to Grand Forks, having- completely recovered from the effects of her recent illness. Mr. MacKay Ing-rim was also discharged this week from the hospital.. Messrs. Sansom & Holbrook have let a contract to Mr. Coates for the erection of a large two-storey building on their lot next to the Pioneer hotel. Work was started yesterday on the foundations. ... Mr. M. Gault, representing the firm of Davis, Marshall, McNeil & Abbott, solicitors for the Prospecting Syndicate of British Columbia, arrived last Saturday to investigate the titles of the properties under bond to the syndicate. The presence of Mr. G. B. McAuley in Victoria gives color to the rumor which has been in circulation for the past two weeks, that the owners of the Cariboo were negotiating for the sale of their properties at Camp McKinney to a syndicate of capitalists. During the past few weeks there have been a number of cases of grippe reported in the district. The mining recorder, Mr. McMynn, has had a .somewhat severe attack of the malady, necessitating Mr. IDlkins undertaking the duties of the office for the past few days. A largely signed petition has been forwarded to the Minister of Education asking that Greenwood be made a school district.' Twenty-six children are now attending the school here, and it is very certain that this number will be greatly increased in the next few months. Several valuable dogs have recently been poisoned in the neighborhood, a setter owned by Mr. L/awder, for which he at one time refused an offer of $120, being destroyed in this manner. It is to be hoped that if this poisoning was intentional, the perpetrators of the outrage will be severely dealt with. Two weeks ago The Times commenced to advertise in The Province and The Mining Record. Already returns are coming in,���from Nanaimo, Brandon, Wiarton (Ont.), Campbell ���'(Cal.), Fort Steele. Springhill Mines (N.S.), and Philadelphia,���showing the interest taken in Boundary Creek in the extreme east, west and south. After an exciting race Messrs. Fisher and L/ewis succeeded in obtaining a record of the St. L/awrence, formerly the Mountain View, adjoining the Mother L/ode. It is understood that Messrs. Hood arid Smith are to receive a half-interest in the claim. Mr. Fisher's party drove from Greenwood to Midway in thirty-five minutes. While the proceedings are going rapidly forward for the incorporation of the towns of Nelson, Rossland and Grand Forks, Greenwood for some .unfathomable reason seems to have been left out in the cold. Notice of Application for the incorporation of Greenwood was duly published both in The Times arid in the B. C. Gazette ; it is, therefore strange that the matter should now have been allowed to drop without anything being said about it. Some thirty men went out on Thursday night to re-stake the vacated ground near the Mother L/ode. , It is even stated that in the excitement the Mother L/ode mine itself was re-staked several times over. The officers of the Brandon & Golden Crown Mining Co. are: Hon. T. M. Daly, president; A. Kelly, vice-president ; W. L/. Orde, secretary-treasurer ; W. A. Fuller, W. A. Macdonald, Q:C, Hon. J. N. Kirchhoffer, Fred. Nation, W. L/. L/indsay and William Johnston, of Brandon, Man., and W. J. Porter and Geo. H. Collins, of Greenwood. Development work on the claims owned by the company will be proceeded with at once, the directors having been authorised to issue a limited amount of treasury stock at 10 cents a share. Administrator's Notice.
