IIFXKY B. MADDEN. Dated at Greenwood, this27thdavof Januarv, A. I). 18W, THE GOLDEN CROWN HIGH VALUES IN CROSSCUTS Good' Work, Being Done on This Property- Development on Other Properties���Some Recent Rich Strikes. 'All'that was-required, to prove that the Golden Crown in Welling-ton camp is rich in ore bodies and high values, was development. Other properties were brought into prominence because drifts and crosscuts run at different levels demonstrated the quantity and quality of the ore. Under the superintendence of Manager G. H. Collins, the.working shaft in the Golden Crown is being sunk. Crosscuts are being run at different levels and the result is of a most encouraging nature. It is only four months since work was resumed on this property. In that time the working shaft was sunk to' the 150-foot level. A crosscut was run ���Gt the 100-foot level and another at 150 feet. The working shaft runs in ore for the first 40 feet and in country rock for the remainder of the distance. The crosscut at 100 feet encountered a five- foot ore body which gave values that were higher than those on the surface. Average assays,'not picked specimens, yielded $18 to $22 in gold and copper. The crosscut at 150 feet found an ore body equally large and much higher values. :��� The ore in the lower crosscut averages $32:80. in gold and nearly four per cent, copper. These values clearly demonstrate that'-Boundary;-' Creek'is. not exclusively a low grade ��� district. The mines in Wellington camp that have been'more or, less developed bring the district above the low-grade plane. Drifting is being continued on the ore bodies from the crosscuts at the 100 and 150-foot levels. The ore bodies are well defined, being bet%ven walls of sienite and diorite. The character of the ore is pyrrhotite and copper pyrites in a silicious gangue. The Golden Crown is owned by-> a company whose officers are wide awake business men, and now that transportation is assured at an early date, the the mine will be placed on a shipping basis as fast as money, a good plant and a large force of men can do so. The shaft will be sunk to the 300-foot level and crosscuts and drifts run at different levels. The surface workings, the crossctttsand drifts from the shaft, and the showings in the 322-foot tunnel, run last year, all point to the fact that the Golden Crown will justify the expenditure of a large amount of money. Its' ore bodies, when mined and marketed will return big dividends on large investments. The company is officered by the following well known business men : Hon. T. Mayne Daly, ex-minister of the interior, president; Andrew Kelly. Brandon, vice-president; W. L. Orde, Rossland, secretary-treasurer; G. H. Collins, managing director ; and Hon.

In addition to those claims owned by big companies, ������ private owners, of Wellington camp claims have been doing good work on their properties '���'during-.the past few months. Messrs. , Jones & Rogers, own or have in , terests in the Hartford, Hartford Fraction, Ranger, and J. & R. fraction. All these claims form a group adjoining the Golden Crown. The Ranger has a big surface showing. ��� A 40-foot shaft has been sunk on the 'property. Samples sent to Salt Lake from this property averaged S16 in gold. ^ The Hartford has a small ledge of ���'.very rich ore. A 13-foot shaft was sunk on the vein. The vein widened , from 1 inch to 16 inches . ih this distance. I/ying alongside the vein is 2 feet of rock carrying native copper. Average assays'-from the surface of this property yielded SIS in gold. There are two other shafts, oh the property. There is a well-defined ledge on the J. & R. Fraction. Two1 shafts have been stink on the claim. J. Farrell has done a large amount of development on the Buttercup, another 'Wellington camp " property. There is a fine showing of white quartz carrying copper pyrites. On the Ironclad, another property ih which Mr. Farrell is interested, considerable sur- work has been done. There is a very large surface showing on the property giving from $3 to S12 in gold and about 4 per cent, copper. At the Winnipeg mine the ore body ;., was met from the perpendicular shaft this week. The working shaft, which is down 230 feet, was run on an incline from the 150-foot level. Recently the shaft was continued perpendicularly and a body of rich ore was struck in less than ten feet. ...'.-' COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION. Important Matters Discussed at the Regular Meeting of the Association. The Greenwood Mining and Commercial association met in Rendell's hall oh Wednesday evening. President Anderson was in the chair. Messrs. W. G. Gaunce and A. M. Rice were elected members. of the association. * The importance of urging upon the government the necessity for a resident gold commissioner for Boundary Creek district and a government agent for the district lying south of Penticton were discussed and Messrs. Keith and Ross were appointed a committee to draft a memorial to the minister of mines relative to the gold commissioner. Messrs. Galloway and Gaunce were appointed a committee to prepare a petition urging the appointment of a resident Government agent. The secretary was instructed to correspond with residents in different centers" throughout the district, urging that the}' circulate similar petitions. A LARGE ESTABLISHMENT. The Huntcr-Kendrick Company Will Shortly Begin Business in Greenwood. Another strong business firm has decided to begin business in Greenwood. The Hunter Bros, of Rossland and Mr. Keudrick of Northport have joined forces for the purpose of opening up a large g-cueral store. The site was selected some time ago, the two lots at the corner of Copper and Deadwood streets having been purchased for this purpose. ���The work of excavating the lots will be begun immediately and a two-story block will be erected tliercon. The buildiug will be veneered with corrugated iron, and will be the first of the kind erected in the district. Hunter Bros, are a well known Kootenay firm who have a large establish ment in Rossland and branch stores at different points. Mr. Kendrick is manager of a big general store at Northport. The company intend carrying a big stock of hardware and general merchandise. Grading Commenced. Grading has begun on this side of the summit. It is the intention to, put on a large force of men near Greenwood immediately, as instructions have come from headquarters that the work must be pushed.. The force at the canjp near Tillman's mill has also been increased. Jas. Moran has been working on the Chancellor iu Greenwood camp for a crown grant. The work is in 5 feel of ore with onlv one wall. ���.'. tySM&^gl^vgzp a^w-jv^ :��rcfl ��**,��. tusjM*i��rwf vtfjr^fitjL T H E B GUN D A E Y. C E E EK TIM E S. jr h. malletr. NOTARY PUBLIC.

The by-law validating the agreement between the corporation and the Boundary Creek Telegraph and Telephone company, granting the latter permission to erect poles and string- wires within the city, limits, should be passed by the council and sanctioned by the ratepayers. There may be details of the agreement that need modification or amendment, but under the peculiar position of the city, the principal of allowing- any company, not asking for a bonus or exclusive privileges, the right to carry on business within the city ought to be recognized. The only argument that can be advanced against the by-law is that the city should own its own telephone system. Such a scheme is impracticable for many years to come. A telephone system such as the Boundary Creek company has in view is possible, because the intention is to extend the line to mining camps tributary to Greenwood, thus bringing 'Niem in closer business touch with the city. The preservation of an exclusive telephone franchise for the city is in anv case an impossibility. Long before Greenwood was incorporated the Nelson and Vernon Telephone company secured the right to erect poles and string wires- throughout the whole of Southern Yale, and they can come into the city at any time without permission of the council. To deny a company' the right to extend their business throughout the city would mean the creation of a monopoly for the Nelson and Vernon company. We believe that none of the aldermen or ratepayers are anxious to give any one company a monopoly of the telephone or telegraph business within the city. The best way-to secure competition is by granting privileges to any and all . A PROCEDURE BY-LAW. , The city council ought to pass a procedure by-law at once: Under such a by-law, a resolution such as was sprung upon the council at its last meeting with reference to the appointment of a city solicitor would be irregular. In all municipal bodies it is, a recognized rule that due notice must be given of new business. If! the present practice is continued, should any alderman desire to vent his personal spite or ad- 'vance his own interests or those of his friends, all that is necessary is for him to await -any opportunity when the members,of the council opposed to him are absent and then move any resolution he may see fit.- There are many instances where the public interests are protected by a by-law regulating the business of the council. Greenwood is too important ���tb have municipal affairs conducted in a slip-shod, hap-haziird fashion. Andrew LEamy has at last reached the 'zenith , oi his ambition and become exalted among men. If the city council should accomplish nothing more during their term of office, they will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that Andrew Leamy has been rescued from obscurity. Aldermen who are an insignificant but necessary portion of the working- majority should learn discretion. It is rather compromising to confess that the only excuse for removing..city officials is that pre-election promises must be fulfilled. The aldermen at their last meeting suggested the advisability of securing strong chairs for the council chamber. Some of the aldermanic chairs should at least have strong backs. . Gkeenwoood enjoys the distinction of being the only city in the province where the spoils system has been introduced. IT wile probably cost the city more than $25 per m6hth to have Andrew Leamy city solicitor. The mayor has secured his " working majority iu the house." Who'i.i. be next ? The Republic Miner. The Republic Miner, published by John R. Revis, made its first appearance last week. The Miner is well written, well printed and has a come- to. stay appearance. The first issue0 contains an interesting description of the great Republic camp. It also contains an interesting letter from a Greenwood correspondent. ^���4 *V* tV4 *V4 "''i *>vi *m& oi> vi'' TJV ���?,�� snr -ii,f. ?nV ^r -,���? ^'I- 5,-c Thos. McDonnell. K. M.

A Well-Known Mining Engineer Returns From the similkameen District With Glowing - Reports of Its Wonderful Mineral Resources���A Large Number, of Locations. The district of Southern Yale is full of surprises for mining men; Nature has husbanded her mineral riches in a manner that laughs at every mining precedent and bewilders the mining expert. When it was announced that a tunnel crossed the, Knob Hill ledge for a distance of over four hundred feet, mining men were incredulous. They are now being convinced that the big Knob Hill ledge is a certainty. A bigger surprise for the mining men is to be found. in the Similkameen district. For months men interested in ' that district brought the most startling reports regarding the mineral wealth of Copper' mountain'. Those, reports were always discredited, but, when an experienced and reliable mining engineer spends three months on the mountain, his report is worthy of serious" consideration. Mr. Voight, a mining engineer well known in Kootenay, returned from the Similkameen country on Friday last. , He went in there last fall and has been working several claims on Copper mountain. This mountain for a distance of two and a half miles back from the Similkameen river appears to be solid copper ore. Over five hundred' claims have been located on this belt. Shafts, have been sunk on over 150 claims. In every shaft there is found the same copper ore and no barren rock. These shafts are from 50 to 100 feet deep and are all in ore. There is no footwall nor hanging wall. It appears to be a mountain of solid ore. Across the Similkameen from Copper mountain is Kennedy mountain, where the locations are equally numerous and'the ore body equally large. The Similkameen river has made an almost perpendicular cut 1,200 feet deep through an ore belt five miles in width. Manyxyears ago ex-Governor Dewdneyc and'Mr. Allison located a , mineral claim ou the Similkameen V river at the foot of Copper mountain. They ran a tunnel from which they got ore that ran $100 in gold and 50 to 60 per cent, copper. The claim was crown-granted and has remained undeveloped for several years. The Similkameen at. this ' point runs between almost perpendicular walls that rise;for 1,200 feet, so.that it is no easy matter to take ore from a tunnel near the river side. The ore in the shafts' on Copper mountain 1,200 feet above the river is a bornite mixed with streaks of chalcopyrite. It averages $10 in gold and silver and 8 per cent, copper. The central claim and first location on Copper mountain is the Sunset, owned by R. A. Brown of Grand Forks. The Sunset is under bond to the British American corporation, who intend working it in the spring. Mr. Voight went over to Rossland, but will return to the Similkameen in the course of a week. It will be interesting to watch: the development of claims on Copper mountain. The mountain is only eight,miles from the richest farming countryin British Columbia, and towards Nicola are promising coal fields. POSTOFFICE INSPECTOR. inspector Dorman of the Postoffice Department Makes an Official Visit. ^Postoffice Inspector W. S. Dorman, ith headquarters at Vancouver, visited the district last week. Mr. Dorman was Postoffice Inspector Fletcher's chief assistant until a few '" months ago, when he was appointed ��� I1" inspector for the mainland. This is '���J& his ,first visit to the district since his -'"appointment. Mr. Dorman came ��� '.,' -through from Brooklyn. It is the in- ��� ���'<'''������' tcntion of the department to establish ;���'��� .2 a mail-route from Brooklyn to Cascade. v '����� This will-not only be a convenience to those residing along the line of railway through McRae pass, but will also be a short route for mails arriving by the Crow's Nest railway. " Speaking of local requirements, Mr. Dorman stated that he had strongly recommended that the easterm mail for Boundary Creek be routed via American lines. He saw no good reason why this plan should not be adopted, as it would shorten the time for mail matter from the east considerably. He also recommended to the department that the Snodgrass stage line be paid the amount asked for a daily service between Greenwood and Grand Forks. Mr. Dorman returned to the coast by way of Penticton, and inspected all the offices on the way. | KUiMtiiiiiUiUi^ Head Office and Works at ���Belleville, Ont. Branch Office and Works at TRAIL, B.C.'

THE SPOILS SYSTEM ELECTION GOODS DELIVERED Andrew Leamy, a Hardy Supporter, Appointed City Solicitor���The Waterworks Question��� The Year's Work Outlined and Discussed by the New Council. During- the recent municipal campaign it was freely mooted that promises were made to certain electors in the city in order to secure their votes and influence. Color was lent to this view by the action of certain aldermen whose highest conception of municipal duty is to act act as automatons and allow the mayor to press the button. Without any previous notice and with Alderman Naden absent from the city, Alderman Sutherland moved that Mr. Andrew Leamy be. appointed city solicitor. "The motion brought Alderman Galloway to his feet with an indignant protest against a practice which he characterized as vicious and pernicious and against the best interests of the city. He denounced the introduction of the "spoils" system into municipal affairs. Absolutelj' no reason was advanced why the change should be made. Mr. Black had been city solicitor for a year. He did not lead the council into any false roads and they had never regretted following the advice lie had given. Alderman Galloway wanted to learn some of Mr. Leamy's special qualifications for the position. Alderman Sutherland then stated that Mr. Black, as city solicitor, should have moved in a matter that rests wholly with the police commissioners. According to the alderman, if Mr. ��� Lcamy were elected he would do the work of the police commissioners as well as that of the city solicitor. This reason did not appear satisfactory to the mayor, so he came to the rescue of the alderman with the most remarkable piece of logic that was ever heard in any municipal hall. He gravely gave the ruling- that an alderman was not called upon to give reasons for moving a resolution. It was for the council to pass it or vote it down. Alderman Galloway again denounced the procedure as vicious in the extreme. The council could not give any man a position simply to vent personal spite on a citizen. He moved that the present city solicitor having done his duty in the past, his services be retained. This amendment found no seconder. Alderman Sutherland's motion was then put. Aldermen Sutherland and Campbell voted for it. Alderman Gal loway voted against it. Alderman J. W. Nelson, who sat as alderman for. the first time, appeared to be ashamed of the whole proceeding but hadn't the courage to vote, against the ticket. The ...mayor, after some difficulty, elicited 'the information that he was in favor of the motion and it was declared carried.. < There are other election goods to deliver, other pre-election promises to fulfill. In a young and growing Canadian city, enjoying self-government but a short time, the people have elected a council, the majority of whom, in order to secure office, made promises that were distinctly in violation of the Municipal Elections act, and are now introducing in the most barefaced manner a spoils system as vicious as any which has disgraced municipal politics in a country where the introduction of the spoils system is a common practice. ��� It is currently reported that in order to make good pre-election promises, new municipal offices are-to be created arm the taxpayers saddled with additional expenditure. After the reading of the minutes, an application for the position of city treasurer was read from Mr. E. H. Mortimer. The appointment was left in abeyance until next meeting. Russell & Russell, barristers, Vancouver, made inquiries on behalf of a client who is anxious to purchase city ; debentures. Alderman Galloway moved that the Boundary Creek Telegraph and Telephone company's right-of-way by-law be read a first time. Alderman Campbell seconded the motion and it was carried. The by-rlaw was also read a second time, Further consideration of the by-law was adjourned until next meeting. On motion of Alderman Nelson, seconded by Alderman Sutherland, it- was decided to allow Contractor Davis to move the rails to Copper street, where he is excavating. Two cents a yard will be charged for use of cars and track. Mayor Hardy gave a brief outline of the street work which should be undertaken during the year. He suggested that all streets between the sawmill and Deadwood be graded and side- walked, Government street graded to the city limits, aud Copper street to street leading to railway station. The mayor was requested to consult With the city engineer regarding the matter. The council then went into a lengthy discussion regarding engineering and plumbing points connected with the hying of the water pipe. After every alderman had given his views on these matters, the engineer was by resolution instructed to take charge of the work and lay the pipe to the Pioneer hotel corner. A.committee, consisting of Aldermen Galloway and Campbell, was appointed to selecba site for fire hall and city hall. CAMP MCKINNEY. A Rich Strike on the Waterloo���Several Deals Made by Spokane Men. ' Dr. J. F. Reddy, A. E. J. Percival and Percy Godenrath; traveling correspondent of the Spokesman-Review, returned on Monday from Camp McKinney. Mr. Godenrath kindly gave a Times representative some interesting information regarding the mining transactions in the camp during the past week : .. " Considerable excitement was cre- ted iu the camp," said Mr. Godenrath, " by a strike which was made on the Waterloo. At 65 feet, in the working shaft, a westerly drift was run IS feet. Iu the face of the drift, where the black and white quartz come together, I secured those samples which you can see are simply filled with gold. The depth will be continued 126 feet to connect with No. 1 shaft." The samples produced are exceedingly rich looking specimens cof free-milling gold. Mr. Godenrath also stated that A. J. Percival had purchased the O'Shea claim and work wopld be started immediately on the property. Dr. J, F. Reddy, while in the camp, acquired the Shannon group of claims. He organized a company and a large amount of stock was taken by local men. A shaft will be sunk on this property right away. Dr. Reddy also secured the Mammoth claim and four men were started to work ou this property.
