GREENWOOD -. - B. C. Mines Examined and Reported ou. THE CITY COUNCIL. The reg-ular meeting- of the city council was held in the court house on Monday evening-with Mayor Wood in the .chair, and Aldermen Galloway, Paton, Barrett and Phalen present. A few small bills were passed for payment, and a telegram from the National Tube company, stating- that they had sent a searcher after the lost car of pipe was filed. Mr. Geo, R. Naden, secretary of the board of school trustees, desired the assistance of the council. He found it necessary to dodg-e around corners in order to avoid unfortunate school creditors, and he was getting-tired of the business. The-government claimed a happy condition of bankruptcy, so no assistance was coming from that quarter. As a last resort he appealed to the council. The council took pity on the school trustees and voted $25 for keeping the school house clean. Dr. Schon applied for the position of medical health officer. He told of his experiences in E}ngland and the colonies. The board of health recommended Dr. Schon's appointment; and the council adopted the recommendation. �� Aid. Phelan introduced the subject of completing the Government street cut. After a lengthy discussion, in which Aid. Galloway urged that the waterworks were a first consideration, Treasurer Naden blandly asked where the money was coming from. This settled the matter, and the Government street cut will remain half cut until next spring-. The 1899 municipal election by-law was read a first time. It provides for polling booths, returning officers, and for qualifying those who neglected to pay their taxes. A MIDNIGHT RAID. The hit me, hit me, good, or d���n, of the festive blackjack was interrupted on Friday night, when Chief of Police Taylor and Night Watchman Pearse walked into the Pioneer hotel and arrested eig-ht of the players, confiscated $56 in cash and chips representing probably $100. The police did not get all the players. Three or four of them succeeded in getting out a back way. One fat gentleman, who had the satisfaction of seeing his five dollars disappear into the chief's pocket before he had a chance to risk any of it on cards, escaped through a back door. The eight were marched to the jail and left thereover night. On Saturday they appeared before Police Magistrate Hallett. The case was adjourned and bail was accepted for each in the sum of $50. On Monday the case again came up. There was a formidable array of legal talent for the defense, Andrew Leamy, J. P. McLeod and A. M. Whiteside being there to knock Prosecuting Attorney Black's case into ��MU_ftf___wt*y*____ria_ a cocked hat. They found, however, that they-could have no opportunity of enjoying a fight. Night Watchman Pearse, the chief witness for the prosecution, resigned on Saturday and neither he nor any of the other witnesses could be found on Monday. Mr. Black asked for a week's adjournment, which was granted. The bail nioney was returned. The strict moral theories of eastern cities are of little practical value in a mining- camp. Conditions as they exist, must be dealt with. Any attempt to force miners and prospectors to cease the practice of risking money on cards will prove a failure. The average miner does not see any harm in the practice, and so long as he does not he will continue to enjoy a quiet g-ame of draw or Black-Jack. As far as the good order of the town is concerned, no great harm can arise from three or four men playing- a quiet game. If hotel men, however, turn their bar rooms into gambling- joints and allow professional gamblers to run games in the back rooms of their houses, they may expect visits from the police and trouble for their houses. The professional gentleman who does nothing excepting to swindle the innocent at cards, deserves consideration neither from the hotel men nor the police. A Large Hotel. Mrs. J. Anderson of Brooklyn arrived in Greenwood this week and purchased three lots from Jas. Sutherland. The lots are situated on the Sutherland addition, on the corner of Silver and Dundee, streets. Mrs. Anderson intends building a 60-room, three-story . hotel. The lots give a frontage of 168 feet on Dundee street and 90 feet on Silver street. The contract for the hotel will be let immediately. It is to be finished and in running order before May 1st next year. The hotel will be first-class in every respect, and will be built accordingly. The estimated cost is $15,000. Mrs. Anderson was in the city a few weeks ago and decided to open business here. Mr. Anderson is proprietor of the Hotel Anderson at Brooklyn. To Build a Sawmill. J. W. Stout of the sawmill firm of Stout & McPherson, was in Greenwood this week. Messrs. Stout & McPherson have a large sawmill near. Gladstone, where they are sawing large quantities of lumber for the railway. The firm intend erecting another mill on the North Fork, and the object of Mr. Stout's visit was to secure some timber limits which are held by Greenwood parties. Mr. G. A. Henderson of the Bank of Montreal returned to Vernon on Thursday. He decided not to open a branch at Grand Forks. 1 m 71 I III isi i I ���is f_ !'._ i M ii< f m v> THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, THE B. C TO BE SOLD. As was stated in The Times about two months ag-o, the B. "C. mine in Summit camp is likely to be, sold in the near future. Neg-otiations looking- towards the transfer of the mine from the present owners to a large company have been in progress for some time. The property is now under option to R. G. Edwards Eeckie of Rossland, who represents the principals in the Montreal Goldfields company. Mr. I^eckie visited the B. C. a few weeks ag-o. Mr. Alex. Dick; another Rossland mining engineer, also examined the property. Messrs. Harrison and Barchard, the managing owners of the property, are at present in Rossland. Mr. J. 1$. I^eckie, a brother of the Rossland engineer, was asked concerning the'reported sale. He stated that he had no definite information. All he knew was that a deal was being- arranged. The B. C. is in Summit camp, about ten miles from Greenwood. It is one of the best developed properties in the district. Messrs. Harrison and Barchard bohded.the property in Aug-ust, 1897. from John Keough for $60,000. Work was begun at once. A plant consisting- of a 60-horsepdwer boiler, a four-drill compressor and a small hoist was secured. A force of 30 men was kept continuously at work for twelve months. A shaft was sunk for 165 feet. At the 50-foot level a drift was run along- the ledge, there being 400 feet of drifts and crosscuts at this level. The next level is at 150 feet, where there are 300 feet of crosscuts and drifts. The ledge widened materially. It is 15 feet wide at the 50- foot level and 70 feet wide at 150 feet. The ore averages 10 to 12 per cent, copper; 6 ounces silver and $3 in gold. The shaft was started in solid ore, which continued down to the 50-foot level. From there for 70 feet the ledge takes a dip, but the shaft catches the ore again at 150 feet, and continues to the bottom. There are are three dumps. The first dump contains 1,200 tons of hig-h-grade picked ore and the second g-ood shipping ore, while the ' third is waste. In August, 1898, the last payment on account of the $60,000 bond was made and the mine closed down. Manager Harrison says there are 20,000 tons of hig-h grade ore in sight. When the railway conies a little nearer, a large plant will be purchased for the property. The mine is ready to maintain continuous shipments at anv time. A New Sawmiil. Messrs. Redgeld & Wilson of Water- ville, Wash., are erecting- a large sawmill plant on Eholt creek, about one and one-half miles above .Fisher's sawmill. They have secured a timber limit from Mr. Stack and others, and expect to be in a position to cut lumber in about ten days. The Voters' List The municipal voters' list for 1899 has been completed by City Clerk Taylor. It shows 112 names in the North ward and 178 names in the South ward, making a total of 290 names. Last 3'ear's list showed a total of 143 names, or less than half of this Year's list. W. M. Eaw & Co. will open a branch store at Camp McKinney next week with Mr. Moody in charg-e.

An hotel is to be erected at Eholt, : Rendell & Co's new town in Summit camp. Dr. Oppenheimer has taken an office in the Keoug-h block,. above the Bank of B. N. A. Dr. R. W.Jakes has recovered from his recent illness and is now able to resume his practice. The Elkhorn brewery has received its inland revenue license and will beg-in brewing- next week. Charles Dunne is now in charg-e of the Windsor hotel barber shop. Mr. Dunne is a first-class tonsorial artist. W. J. Snodgrass, manager of the Snodgrass stage line, was in the city this week. He drove out as far as Bossburg. A good fo,rce of men is now at work on the Jewel mine in Eong Eake camp. Mr. Gilbert Mahan is expected back from Rossland next week. The firemen are giving a ball in Barrett's hall this (Friday) evening. Porter's orchestra will furnish the music. The admission is free. It is stated that Brooklyn has run its course and that merchants are fast leaving the town. It was never expected that it would become a permanent place. There was an unconfirmed rumor this week to the effect that the Big Copper mine in Copper camp had been bonded for $70,000. The Big Copper has an enormous ledge of high-grade ore. The property has not been worked for years. The police commissioners have made arrangements with Mr. John McLaren of Rossland to take charge of police matters in Greenwood. Mr.McLaren was chief of the Vancouver police force some years ago. He is expected in Greenwood early next week. Since the article was written referring to the new sawmill to be erected on Eholt creek by Waterville parties, a lightning change was made. On Friday morning the plant was re-loaded and started for Christina lake. Trouble about the timber limit is given as the reason for the removal. Several real estate transfers were reported this week. In addition to the lots purchased by Mrs. Anderson, two or three other Sutherland addition lots changed hands. The lot adjoining Robbins' livei^y stable -was also sold. M. E. Frazee sold a choice residential lot on.the Garland addition. The article from the American Journal of Health in reference to the Okanagan company's flour, should convince bread consumers that this is the healthiest bread in the market to- da}r.

Cascade City, the wide-open town of twenty saloons, is enjoying the usual accompaniment in the shape of shooting scrapes. On Tuesday night the night watchman ran in an Italian. The economy of the provincial government or the poverty of the provincial treasury has precluded the erection of a jail at Cascade, so the prisoner was kept in an ordinary building. Some of his countrymen considered it an easy matter to rescue their compatriot. They tackled the night watchman, but he showed fight. The Italians at once concluded that a police officer in this country had no right to take harsh measures with such as they, and to teach him a lesson, one of them opened fire from a wicked looking revolver. A thick skin and a stout rib saved the officer. One bullet struck the fifth rib and glanced off. The officer then took a hand in the shooting. One Italian left the city with an ugly flesh wound, a second was fatally wounded, a bullet from the policeman's revolver, striking him in the abdomen. The third Italian -escaped without injury. The night watchman's injury is not serious. Officer Dinsmore is at present in Cascade. ' The Winnipeg Mine. Duncan F. Mcintosh, the president of the Winnipeg company, was in the city this week. Good work has been done on the Winnipeg during the fall. The work is now being continued on the 300-foot level, the deepest working level in the district. With 12 men working two shifts, the shaft was sunk from the 100-foot to the 300-foot level. There is now 1,000 feet of work on the property in shafts, drifts and cross-, cuts. The values are increasing, assays as high as $800 have ' been secured from the lower level. CAMP McKINNEY. at There are about 50 men working the Cariboo. The Sailor shaft is in good ore. It is now down about 30 feet. The Minnehaha company has begun sinking another 100-foot shaft on their property. ' Some recent assays from Waterloo ore gave high values. One sample from the footwall gave $8,120 in gold'.; another taken from the vein at 52 feet gave $62. The shaft on the Waterloo is down 55 feet. The vein continues to maintain a width of seven feet.

THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN. There are two candidates in the field for the mayoralty contest. Mr. Ralph Smailes arid Mr. Thos. Hardy have each announced their intention of, running for the office. Both are g-ood men and either would make an excellent chief magistrate. Mr. Smailes is the manager for Rendell & Co. He is a shrewd and careful business man. In public matters he has but little to say, but that little is well put and to the point. With Mr. Smailes in the chair we feel sure that municipal business would not be carried on in an irregular and haphazard fashion. Mr. Hardy is a member of the Russell Hardware company. He has always shown himself to be an enterprising- and public- spirited citizen and has always taken a keen interest in public affairs. With these two candidates in the field, the electors have some assurance that Greenwood will not be without a good mayor. A choice between the two must be made, however. Unfortunately up to a short time ag-o but little interest was taken in municipal affairs. A number of citizens who were anxious to secure the very best material in the council went to Mr. Smailes and urged him to run for mayor. He at last consented to do so. If we mistake not, Mr. Hardy knew that Mr. Smailes Avas being urged to run, and he offered no objection. As far as Ave know, his announcement that he was in the maj'or- alty contest Avas the first intimation that he had an}" hankering after municipal honors. Those who urged Mr. Smailes to stand for mayor���and they are no small portion of the electors��� are going to do their utmost to elect him. In the approaching municipal contest there is no stirring question of public policy to divide thee]ectors. All the cit3'- wants is seven good men to transact the city's business in a business-like Avay. Mr. Hardy's candidature for the office of mayor means the loss of one g-ood man to the city. We would be pleased to see him retire and run for alderman. If he is determined to be in the mayoralty contest, there cannot be any objection to his running for alderman as well, and in this way his services Avill not be lost to the city. Mr. Smailes will, in our opinion, be the next mayor of Greenwood. He is the right man for the position. The Times will use every effort towards securing his election. Sinking is being continued in the Mother Lode shaft. The shaft is the largest and best timbered in the district. Nothing but square timber from the mill is used. was covering com- for down D. W.

The present size is neat and convenient, but rapidly increasing business makes it absolutely necessary to enlarge the paper. Advertisers are requested to make arrangement for space before the end of the month. Railway Construction. It is now almost certain that railway construction will commence in the vicinity of Greenwood before the end of the year. The contractors are busy grading up to the Summit or within eisrht miles of Greenwood. Contracts on this side of the summit will be let in a very short time. It is reported that the C. P. R. has come to the conclusion that the best policy is to build and the question of subsidy may be brought up afterwards. Dr. Foster, the company's physician at Cascade has received instructions to move to Greenwood in a very short time. Mr. Stout, who is g-etting out lumber for the contractors, is getting- ready to erect a sawmill, and others are making- preparations for active construction on this side. , Express From Bossburg. The International Express company, under the management of J. A. Jackson, has established an express line between Bossburg and The company will carry express.

Business men report the month of November one of the best in the history of the town. Sales have been. heavy and collections easy. The three chartered banks are well pleased with the volume of business during their first month in Greenwood, and the managers are confident that at no distant date there will be plenty of business here for all three. New stores and new hotels are being opened. It looks as if Greenwood had entered upon a season of healthy and rapid gi owth. - "Rossland, 1898." Thanks to Mr. James Martin, M. P. P., The Times has been presented with a copy of " Rossland, 1898." The publication, is -well printed and well illustrated, and there is a mass of information concerning Rossland and Trail Creek district. Typographically the production is all rig-ht, but we are strongly of the opinion that the work could be done just as well and as cheaply in Rossland, instead of sending it to Toronto. If the Rossland board of trade has no confidence in the Rossland printing- offices, it should send its work to Greenwood. We would guarantee just as good a job as the Toronto office.

Q. JAMES D/ SWORD, Manager, PURE FLOUR. Sermons need not be preached when it comes to warning- the public ag-ainst inferior grades of flour. The thought- fill and truly conscientious caterer who selects food products for the family on the one inviolable principle that purity alone can possibly win her favor, will indignantly reject the spurious brands which the hygienic press collectively condemns and' which are the most deadly ag-ents of disease. The community has no more insidious foe than impure or low grade flour. For on account of the very truth that we cannot sit down at the family board without ingesting flour in a greater or lesser quantity, the corresponding- influence upon our health cannot be overestimated. It will be either an influence for evil or an influence for good. Nothing which enters the system, in no matter how small a quantity, but has its power of affecting the general result ; but when the principal constituents of our daily food lack the quality they should possess, the magnitude of the consequence goes without saying. ��� We infallibly suffer. To obviate all such disastrous consequences and the sufferings they thus entail, the American Journal of Health watches without intermission the successive introductions of the market brands of flour. And it also urges upon the consumer the use of those whose established excellence is sufficient safeguard against tae unverified claims of other brands. There is also another consideration which obtains its due weight with us : the reliability of the manufacturers. We have found each condition fulfilled to our satisfaction in " O.K. " flour, offered by the Okanagan Flour Mills Co., of Armstrong, B.C., Canada. This is a truly pure product, marketed b}' a firm which enjoys the most enviable reputation for the production of only first-class goods. The resources of our analysis were brought into requisition for the thorough testing of this flour, and an exhibition was thereby made which conclusively established the great nutritive worth which is claimed for it because of its richness in gluten ; its suitability for persons of weak digestive organs, owing to its possessing no excess of starch, its consistent uniformity of qualit}- and its eminent virtues as a bread maker. It would be impossible', we do not hesitate to say, that the Okanagan Flour Mill Company's " O.K." flour could not disappoint when used for baking purposes, for it does not sour ; it is uncommonly light in bread, and also preserves a beautifully white color. That da}r will be hailed with satisfaction and relief by the physician and hygienist when the prevalence of stomach troubles arising from fermentation caused D3r bad flour, and cases of dyspepsia arising from the same source, will be reduced. The coming of that time will be perceptibly hastened by the exclusive use of pure flour, for which the hygienic press can give an endorsement equal to that here bestowed upon " O.K. ���". of the Okanagan Flour Mills company. Ivet the public cease to deceive itself; the evils just mentioned will continue to distress humanity so long as want of discrimination in flour selection continues. We have at stake the welfare of all our readers, and they will prove to be their own best friends by laying this lesson to heart. The "O.K." flour of the Okanagan Flour Mills Company is endorsed for their use in the plainest language we can employ.��� American Journal of Health.

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).
