This property is owned by L. S. Moulton Barrett of Greenwood. The capitalisation of the company, is $1,- 000,000. Of "this amount $300,000 is placed in the treasury and the rest of the stock is- pooled for nine months. The group consists of the Golden Eagle Laskey and a/fractional claim Junction City. They are situated upon a spur of Volcanic mountain, about half a0 mile from the North Fork. The properties ��� are ten miles from Grand Forks. Frank , Robbins, M. E. McKenzie Marin & Company's expert, has examined the property. In his report he states that sufficient work has not been done to fully demonstrate the value of the property, but enough to warrant it being considered of very good prospective value with a certain amount of shipping ore in sight. He first noticed two quartz cropping-s at the surface. From one of these he secured $30 in gold values. He took several samples from the dump "at the shaft. The > best of this gave over 20 per cent, copper. A general sample taken from the whole dump gave $21.74, all values. Mr. Robbins concludes by stating that the shaft shows a vein irregular in width to a depth of 52 feet where it is cut off. The drift seemingly recovers this vein arid is driven along it; the average value is $25 to $30, all values... Two winzes have opened a large deposit lying below the drift and crossing it at right angles. The property is well worthy: of-.��� exploration -and jitvmay.-,be called a good "little" mine. : It shows evidence of value which compare favorably with the best in Boundary Creek section. Hon. T. Mayne Daly, president of the Brandon and Golden Crown company, was in the city this week. Mr. Daly visited the Golden Crown and left on Friday for the Okanagan Gold Mines company valuable properties. Mr. Daly . would not talk politics because he declares that he is no longer a politician, He is well satisfied with the progress made at the Golden Crown and is convinced that he is president of a company owning one of the best properties in the district. With this conviction all people acquainted with the Golden Crown will agree. S. H. C. Miner and wife, Miss Miner Gran by, Que.; E. M. Carroll and wife, New York; G. Stevens, Waterloo, Que:, are a party of eastern capitalists who are visiting the Boundary Creek dis trict. They were in Grand Forks this week and will visit the Greenwood camp properties'and the city next week. The party are in charge of Jay P. Graves, the manager of their many big mining interests. Mr. Eastman, the superintendent of the Gold Bug mine in Wellington camp, was in the city this week. Mr. Eastman has nine men at work on the Gold Bug. He is also superintendent of a Republic mine and divides his time between the two properties. Harry Howson, agent for the -Wm. Hamilton Manufacturing company has just completed the sale of a large plant to the Gold Bug company. Henry Johns, who, was in the city week, stated that his engagement with the Mother Lode people would terminate August 20th. He would then take charge of the Sunset group and was sure from what he knew of the properties that all that was"required to bring them to the very front was vigorous development work. Harry Howson, representing the Wm. Hamilton Manufacturing company,has 13 men at work on the Pasadena mine in Greenwood camp. The Pasadena ;is owned by a company in which members of the Wm. Hamilton Manufacturing company are the principal shareholders. ��� R. Shearer has been working the,. Yukon claim in Kimberlery camp for several months. He sank a shaft 23 feet when driven out by water. The shaft is in ore carrying good gold and copper values. Mr. Shearer will resume work on the property in the fall. W. C. 'Noble business, manager for the War Eagle and Buckhorn com- panies,arrived from Nelson on Wednesday. Both properties are being worked under the superintendency of Peter Joyce.: '' \ '.'���''��� ��� : i M. E. Miller, E. A. Bielenberg and Thos. Roadley left on Wednesday for the Smilikameen district.' They will be away about ten days. THE CITY COUNCIL. ltd The Regular Meeting Held on Monday Evening. City By-Laws.

The council decided that they no longer required the services of the city engineer and the clerk was requested to so inform him. By-laws for widening Silver street and fixing rates for waterworks were advanced a stage.

Nelson Delegates to the Rossland Meeting Given Free Rein. At the largest attended meeting the Nelson board of trade ever held, called to reconsider a resolution passed by a small majority at an unrepresentative meeting last week to restrain delegates to the joint meeting at Rossland next month from discussing or voting on any resolution referring to the eight- hour law, it was agreed with only one dissenting vote to allow the delegates to discuss or deal with the eight-hour question as they see fit. This is the endorsement of the action of President J. Roderick Robertson of the board, who is manager of the Ymir mine, and who has been active in his opposition to the methods by which the law was passed.

The position was offered to Mr. Johns by W. L,. Hog-y, was accepted and a three years' ��� contract sig-ned. Mr. J. H. Macfarlane has been- appointed business manag-er with Headquarters at Greenwood. Comment' upon the excellent judg-ment displayed by Mr. W. L,. Hogg- is needless. Mr. Johns has undoubtedly every qualification' necessary to fill the responsible position. The success attending- the development of the Mother Lode with which he has been connected- in a similar capacity is in a large measure; due to him and: it is safe to forecast jthat'under Mrl'Johns' superintendence the Sunset, Crown Silver and CO. D., will be placed on a shipping basis expeditously and efficiently.! ,'. Much development during- the past three years has been, accomplished;at- the Sunset. Some 1350 feet of work has been'completed under the supervision of Mr. Macfarlane - proving.- the- 'extent and pertnancy of the ore bodies. :He has been complimented by the owners for the judicious manner in which the work has been performed., It. is understood that he notified the directorate when the big- company was incorporated that he did not consider himself sufficiently experienced to act in the capacity of mine manag-er with the new and larg-er responsibilities and would not accept the position. Mr. Macfurlane was seen by a Times representative and verified these sentiments. He stated that he considered the change an excellent one. "The property is there," he added, "and all that is required to place it in the foremost list is the master hand of an experienced man like Mr. Johns. I am financially interested in the enterprise and know it will be a hug-e success when a man of Mr.. Johns' ability and experience directs operations. I cannot too strongly endorse Mr. Hog-g-'s wise course. I may have some business ability but 30 years more among- the mines might fit a young- man for such a responsible position���certainly not much less." Mr. Macfarlane is to be commended i for his position. Good properties have- been ruined and gfood companies! wrecked by men who refused to acknowledge that they did not know? everything- about the underground: workings of a mine. Mr. Johns' experience - as superintendent in other properties gives the shareholders in the Montreal Boundary Creek company- every assurance that every dollar of their money will be judicially expended. The Sunset is a hive of industry. Foundations, roads, pipe lines and buildings for the big- plant was commenced on Monday. A boarding- house and bunk house to accommodate the required force will be under construction immediately. The foundations for a residence for Mr. Johns are being, excavated and the company will build a neat cottage thereon. of ag-e. If you caii do anything- toward discovering his whereabouts, you will confer a great favor on an anxious wife. Very respectfully, , - WM. P. HUGHES. Lots of Loans. British Columbia was not the only state that was out for a little spare cash in the financial wilderness of London. She was, in fact, only one of quite a distinguished party of loan- hunters, and the way in which British Columbia came out of the hunt is something of which our people .may feel very proud, when the luck of the other cash-stalkers is considered. The eminently satisfactory terms upon which our loan was negotiated is all the more creditable when it is known that Russia and Japan had loans applied for just ahead of this province, and were only partially successful with them. Then the cities of New York and Montreal were also in the field for loans, the former for $10,025,000 of city 3l/z percent, g-old bonds, of which $350,- 000 is payable in 1918 and the remainder in 1929. The best bid was S109.45 or $10,972,362.50 for the entire issue. The amount of bonds.was subscribed for six times over,and there were many bids almost as good as the one accepted. Quite a number of bids were made for portions of the loan at hig-her rates than those accepted for the entire loan. ' Montreal is placing- a loan of three millions, and there is no doubt the Canadian metropolis^ will be equally successful as the American in negotiating that loan; Neverdid Canada's credit stand higher in the money markets of the world; almost any amount conld 'now be secured in London for the development of Canadian resources, or :by various corporations of the country. The fact of so many larg-e loans being- in the market from among-st the most progressive nations and cities (and provinces) in the world; is a sig-n that the forward policy is the favorite one with them, and that still greater efforts are to be made to keep them in the front,ranks, of progress.���Victoria Times.

He left here some three months ago and had a wood contract at Nelson, Wash. He could not secure wood choppers enough to complete his contract so he threw it up. About a month ag-o he wrote his wife that he was working- at Nelson and that as soon as his pay was due he would send her a check for his month's wages from Grand Forks or Greenwood, since which time she has not heard a word from him. As he is a man of good habits and their relations toward each other have always been of the most pleasant and companionable character, she is afraid that he has been foully dealt with.

Over thirty cases were on the list for the county court held at Midway last Saturday. His Honor, Judge Spinks, presided. Several cases were settled out of court. Among- the cases of local in ter- est that came up for adjudication was that of Eddy vs Nelson. W. ,E.; F. Eddy leased from J. W. Nelson the premises occupied by the Canadian Bank of Commerce. ,The: leas'e was for one year, possession to be secured on April 1st last. The Canadian Bank of Commerce's new premises not being- completed by that date and the bank haying- an unexpired leased remained in possession. Eddy sued for damages and was al- * lowed $296.50 and cost. H. C. Shaw for plaintiff and J. P. McLeod for defendent. '' Harrington vs. the Snowflake Lime company was a case'in which, the plantiff sued for 25 day's wages. The defendant company held that Harrington was engaged for a month and having quit before time had expired was not entitled to anything. Jay P. ; Meyers-Gray for the plaintiff, H. C. Shaw for the defendant. ; The Camp McKinney mines vs. Ala- quist, was a case in which the plaintiff sued for damages for wrongful detention of lnmber. " The defendant raised the objection that action should 1 be one of replevin. The objection:was sustained and the case dismissed. J. P. McLeod for plaintiff, and Whiteside for defendant. The long pending case of A. H. Black vs. C. A. E. Shaw, was againad- journed., In this case Black sued for $131 wages. At a former sitting of the court, the matter was referred to" Geo. A. Naden to take accounts.: Mr. Naden filed his report reducing the amount to $11 and finding that Black owed for $57 or an. equivalent in B. C. M. ,&' M.' stock. No action was taken on this report and the "case was again adjourned. THE CARIBOO COMPANY. HOTEL COLUMBIA BURNED. Again Heavy Messrs. Morgan & Escalet ���'; : ���'���'���'���" "': .Losers. An insatiable hodoo appears to be following the business operations of Messrs. D. W. Morgan and E. Escalet in the Boundary creek .district; It is ' only a few.weeks since the Clarendon was burned to the ground and Messrs. Morgan .and.': Escalet lost several thousand dollars. A. new ; start was made at the Hotel Columbia in Colum- > ;bia. . The hotel was refurnished and a , large stock had just been' secured and the hotel opened for: business when it caught fire and was soon a total loss. The fire started at 1.30 Monday morning. All the guests were in bed at the time but fortunately they escaped. Three hundred dollars worth of furniture was saved. Two men jumped from the second story window, one of them Frank Guise formerly of the hotel being badly burned about the head and one arm. The Columbia hotel was built by the townsite company last winter. It, was a large three story structure. Owing to the bitter feeling between Columbia and Grand Forks there are ugly rumors circulated regarding the origin of the fire. BILL TO REFORM THE SENATE. The premier Introduces a Resolution to Amend the B. N. A. Act. Sir Wilfred Laurier has given-notice that on Wednesday he will propose the following resolution: "That an humble address be presented to Her Majesty, the Queen, setting forth that the provisions of the British North America act of 1867, respecting the powers of the senate of Canada in the making of laws, are unsatisfactory and should be brought more into harmony with the principle of popular government, and praying that Her Majesty may be pleased to recommend to the Imperial parliament a measure for the amendment of said act in such terms as will effectually make the provisions as follows: 'If the House of Commons passes any bill which the senate rejects or fails to pass, or amends in any way not accepted by the House of Commons, then if the House of Commons at the next following session, again passes such bill and the senate again rejects or fails to pass, or amends same in any way not accepted by the Commons, the governor-general may, by proclamation, convene one or more joint sittings of the members of the two houses for the consideration of such bill or amendments, and the question whether such bill or amendments shall pass shall be decided by a majority of the members of the two houses present and voting, and the votes of any such joint sitting shall, as respects such bill or amendments, have the same force and effect as a vote of the senate under the existing constitution,' " Hold Its First Annual Meeting In Toronto���The Mine Profits. , ���' One has now to look to Toronto instead of Spokane for news from headquarters relative to the Cariboo mine. The Canadian capitalists who purchased this property have their headquarters in Toronto, and hold their meetings there. The Toronto World says: , At the first general meeting o�� the shareholders of the Cariboo Consolidated Gold Mining company of Camp McKinney, B. C, held, at the company's offices in the Board of Trade building, Toronto, it was decided that the annual meeting of that corporation should take place on the first Tuesday in February, 1900. In the absence of President Robert Jaffray, and Vice- President G. B. Smith occupied the chair. A number'of the shareholders were there, and apparently everyone went away well pleased with the out look, as gathered from the official statements submitted; these statements all coming, out in reply to questions put by the enquiring shareholders. In'the first place, it was shown that the mill run for June resulted in a clean-up of 1051 ounces of bullion, exclusive of concentrates. This result is the largest ever obtained in one month in the history of the company, the largest previously having been 970. The total output of the Cariboo up to May 31 was, according to ' the treasurer's statement, $589,289.40, and since that date the output has been . swelled by the shipment of between $20,000 and $25,000, the result of the clean-up for June. These figures show that the mine has yielded up to date between $610,000 and $615,000. Up to May 31 the Cariboo had paid 26 dividends, totalling $323,154.14. Since that date a dividend of $12,250 was paid for the month of June, and. to-day a similar dividend for July will be declared. This will bring the total sum paid in dividends from the Cariboo mine up to $348,000 in round figures, and it will be seen that, as the Cariboo produces about $20,000 per month, and pays only about. $12,000 in dividends, it must be laying by the tidy sum of $8000 a month for any rainy day that should come around. .���As to the mine itself, the main shaft is',.now down to the 350-foot level, where the ore body is looking first- class. In fact, taking all things into consideration, the company feel that their mine was never in all its history looking as well as it does to-day. As to equipment, the new 10-drill air compressor has just been installed at the mine, and is now in operation. As up to the end of June only three drills were working, it will be seen that the capacitj' of the plant has now been more than trebled. When the question was asked as *o when the number of stamps would be increased to cope with the increased supply of ore, the reply was made that that was a matte^ which the directors would consider. ! By the way, Mr. George B. McAuley, managing director of the Cariboo Consolidated, sailed last Saturday from Scotland for this country. President Jaffray and Vice-President Pellatt have gone out to Camp McKinney, as we announced some days ago. AMNERS and : : PROSPECTORS, should Wear - :.;: ',.-���- Ames Holden Co/s 'f.

Greenwood business men would be foolish to adopt the position that because nature has been lavish in her gifts-to the city, no special effort is required on their part to promote its growth and ensure its future. Experience teaches us that live business men can beat nature to a standstill in making- progressive cities. United effort on the part of business men is best secured through an organization like a board of trade. There is no good reason why the Greenwood board which will soon be incorporated should not be ��� of the greatest assistance in promoting the interests of the city. All that is wanted is a lively interest. The board must of necessity be non-politi-.-al. Its business must be such as will be for the general good, consequently all business men irrespective of their political affliations or predilections can meet on a common ground to harmoniously discuss matters in the interests of the city. The association starts out well by the appointment of an efficient secretary. Mr. Gosnell is now our esteemed contemporary and we are probably supposed to say nothing- in his favor. "We have never favored however a dog- eat dog policy in newspaper work and consequently are free to state that his training- and experience has been such that no beeter selection for the position could be made. While much depends upon the work of the secretary, it is quite proper to state that the members must take a greater interest in public affairs than they have heretofore before the Board of Trade will he productive of much good. The secret of the general lack of interest in public matters lies in the fact that Greenwood has been too richly favored in the past. An era of hard times which is not likely to come would arouse a keen interest. Take the case of Grand Forks for instance. The C. P. R. started in to annihilate the city and the people were desperate. Desperation provoked action. They fought together and planned and schemed together. The fight they made has wiped out many of those objectionable features that marred the standing of the city and to-day Grand Forks occupies a better position on the outside than it ever did. We refer to this matter only to show that the public appreciate good fighters. Let the business men fight for favorable freight rates, for tributary trade, for a fair share of public monies; indeed for everything that is coming to them and the Board of Trade will not be organized in vain. BOUNDARY CREEK EXCLUDED. The Cascade Record very properly calls attention to the vagaries of the provincial government in dealing with Boundary Creek district. The latest instance showing ignorance or studied neglect is defining the limits of the counties in which the respective sheriffs have jurisdiction. Those counties in which the people here are particularly interested are defined as follows: The County of Kootenay. Sheriff, Samuel Parker Tuck; post- office address, Nelson. Limits of Jurisdiction:���The Slocan Riding of West Kootenay, the Nelson Riding of West Kootenay, that portion of the Rossland Riding of West Kootenay which is within the County of Kootenai', and the South Riding of East Kootenay, as defined by the "Redistribution Act, 1898." The County of Yale: Sheriff, Arthur Gore Pemberton; postoffice address, Kamloops. Limits of County:���The Kamloops, Nicola Lake, Okanagan and Rock Creek Polling Divisions of Yale Electoral District. It will be noticed that Boundary Creek district from Rock Creek to Christina Lake is left out altogether. The omission is less excusable since the attention of the attorney-general was called to the matter early last winter. He then decided that Boundary Creek was to remain under the jurisdiction of Sheriff Pemberten and that the deputies appointed by him had power to act. The attorney-general has, in the excitement of the day, forgotten his decision, and Boundary Creek is again left out. The matter is not of much importance since there is but little for a sheriff to do in this dis trict, but it simpl}' goes to show that Boundary Greek, through the last gerrymander, is not considered in one county or the other. The sure way to prevent errors of this kind is to make a new constituency in Southern Yale, placing it on a similar footing to other constituencies of the province. The importance of the district lying between Pentiction and Christina Lake demanded representation a year ago and as its growth has been rapid since then, the necessity for separate representation is greater than ever. , FORTUNATE CONTRACTORS. The city's interests are suffering because there are not sufficient good men in the council to make a fight against the insidious influence of importunate contractors. Through two of the small contracts awarded by the council this year contractors have fleeced the city to the tune of nearly $1,000. The council were aware of the fact that the city was being fleeced, but the majority of the council were either lacking in the necessary courage or inclination to make a stand in the'interests of the city. The first instance that came under our notice was referred to in a previous issue of the paper. It will be remembered that a contract was awarded for excavating Government street in the vicinity of Greenwood street. , If our memory does not play us false, the contract was 65 cents per cubic yard. The contractor figured 1,- 500 yards; Aid. Galloway by a simple calculation showed that there were less than 1,000 yards removed. In the face of this the contractors were paid the full amount on their own figures. The second instance is more glaring. A contract was awarded for removing the earth taken from the Greenwood street flume. The city engineer and the contractor affirmed that 1,350 cubic yards were removed. Aid. Galloway again made an effort to protect the city's interests and declared that 800 cubic yards would be nearer the mark. Mr. C. A. E. Shaw was called in to measure up. He measured 576 yards, but was willing to allow 271 yards for extras. In the face of this report the majority of the council decided to pay on the basis of the contractors' figures. Aid. Galloway immediately resigned from the finance committee as a protest against the loose business methods of the majority of,the council. If the two instances quoted above are a foretaste of what may be expected when larger amounts are available, it is reasonable to assume that the city's interests would be better served by squauderiug money in paying laborers than by over-paying contractors. MUNICIPAL LAW., Section 20 of the Municipal Clauses Act reads in part as follows : * * Or who after his election becomes so disqualified, he shall incur a penalty of S50 for each time he shall so act, sit, or vote. * * Section 21 ��� states : If the mayor reeve, or any of the aldermen, council-, lors or any person on his or their behalf or any person in partnership with him or them shall enter into or obtain any interest directly or indirectly, in any contract entered into by or with the corporation such mayor reeve, alderman or councillor, having any interest in any contract, or having become disqualified as aforesaid, 'shall immediately be disqualified from continuing to be mayor reeve, alderman or councillor, as the case may be. Section 11: If any . mayor reeve, alderman or councillor who is disqualified for the reason mentioned in the proceeding section of this act shall vote at any meeting of the municipal council such mayor reeve, aldermen or councillor shall forfeit to the municipality a sum of S2.500; and the said sum may be recovered by action, to be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction, in the name of the corporation or of any ratepayer and the municpality shall pay the costs of suit of any ratepayer recovering such penalty. SET A GOOD EXAMPLE. This paragraph, which appeared in the Montreal Witness, was apparently written for Montreal only, but it may be read with profit by residents of other cities. Dirt is contagious. If anybody doubts it let him observe the streets. Littered with all sorts of rubbish, they offer a positive invitation to everybody to toss or sweep his surplus matter into them. If the streets were kept in a proper state of cleanliness no decent person at least would think of throwing anything upon the roadway or in the gutters. There is also a moral effect. Cleanly surroundings beget clean habits. Children going to and from school are unconsciously in fluenced by what they see, and dirty streets being a standing example of untidiness jii those to whom they naturally look for leading, they grow indifferent and careless. Thus the toleration of dirt on the streets becomes not only a menace to health, but an influence for evil. Considerations of this sort may have no place in the average aldermanic mind, which seems to take its inspirations from mediaeval times, when the public thoroughfares were the common sewers. F.J.

B. PATON. One of Greenwood's Pioneer Citizens Died Suddenly Sunday. , The many friends-of Mr. W. B. Paton were greatly shocked on Sunday morning to learn that he died suddenly from heart disease. Mr. Paton was around on Saturday as active and cheerful as ever. He was getting up on Sunday morning when he reeled over and in a few seconds was dead. The deceased was among the first citizens of Greenwood. He came here in 1896 and has siuce been closely connected with the city's growth. The deceased at the time of his death was the senior member of the real estate, mining and insurance firm of "W. B. Paton & Co., Alway affable and courteous he hada large host of friends in the city who deeply regret his sudden demise and sympathise with the young widow in her sad affliction. The deceased was a native of Scotland and was just 40 years of age. He came to the province about eight years ago residing ��� for some time at Spallum- acheen where a brother resides and where his father died a short time ago.' Mr. Paton was a 'member of the city . council during 1896. He was a capable and experienced accountant and was consequently of much service to the city in connection with its early financial "affairs. -���.-������-.��� The funeral which took place on Tuesday afternoon was very largely attended. .The members of.;the I. O. O. F.' of which he was a prominent member conducted their impressive services at the grave while the services at the family residences were conducted by Rev. Mr. Mclutyre. The pallr bearers were 'Messrs. Geo. R. Naden, Mayor Hardy, R. F. Coates, Thos. McDonnell, Jas. Kerr and Geo. Arthur Rendell.

Tom Clark, superintendent of the Clark mines, John Bresnahan late superintendent of the Republic mine and James Ritchie returned Tuesday from a visit to King's camp and Davis camp. They spent Sunday in King's camp where they examined the Banner, Bonanza, Nespelim and other properties, going from there to Davis camp where they inspected the tunnel being run on the Park and Central, and the shaft being put down on the Harvest. They were all well pleased with both camps. The Harvest shaft is making good progress and though it is in the foot wall the vein having dipped away from it. When down fifty feet a crosscut will be run to discover the width of the vein.

A Successful Organization Meeting Held on Friday Evening. 'A well attended meeting of business men was held last Friday evening for the purpose of taking further steps to org-anize the Greenwood Board of Trade. Aid. Galloway was voted to the chair and R. E. Gosuell appointed secretary. The appointment of Mr. Gosnell was made permanent. A communication was, received from R. B. Kerr who had charge of the legal work of the organization. He forwarded the necessary pajjei's and advised the members as to what course ought to he pursued. The secretary was instructed to forward the necessary papers to Ottawa. The question of securing- a mineral exhibit for the Paris exposition was then discussed. Messrs. Galloway, McDonnell, Smith and Gosuell were appointed a committee. The area to be included in the work was discussed. With thejeonsent of Mr.Robert- son who was present, it was finally decided that specimens would be collected to Camp McKitinej' in the west.

List of Principal Dividend-Paying Quartz Mines of British Columbia. According to the report of the Engineering and Mining Journal, the lode mines of British Columbia have paid diyidends to date to the extent of . 32,126,465. This- does not represent the actual amount of dividends, but is all the returns they have received. Take the Poorman mine, for instance. For eight or ten years the Davenports, of Spokane, would g-et out ore in winter, aiid reduce itiii summer. Each year they would make a profit of about 320,000. The Poorman is not on the Engineering and Mining Journal's list. Following are the dividend payers mentioned by the paper in question : Cariboo McKinney, which paid its last dividend in February, 1899, of l'/i cents per share, 3248,969; the Fern, which paid its last dividend in January, 1898, of 5 cents per share, 510,000; the Hall mines which paid its last dividend of 25 cents per share in May, 1898 ; the Idaho, which paid its last dividend in January, 1899, of 5^ cents per share ; the L,e Roi, which paid its last dividend of 10 cents per share in April, 1898; of S25.000. This does not include the S150,000 which the holders of shares received afterthe property was sold to the British America corporation for the ore and matte that was at the smelter, nor did it include the smelter at Northport, which cost 3200,- 000, and was built out of the profits of the Le Roi mine. This would bring the total dividends of the Le Roi up to 31,- 115,000. The Rambler Cariboo, which paid its last dividend of 1 cent pur share, on April, 1899, of 350,000; the Payne Consolidated, which paid its last dividend of 1 cent per share on March, 1899, of 31,025,000; the War Eagle, which paid its last dividend in May, 1899, of \)A cents per share; the Queen Bess, which has 312,500. This list is incomplete, as there are several Slocan properties whicli are known to yield profits to their owners. They are, however, close corporations, and their dividends-are never published. ! Rossland's Mineral Output This Year Will Be About That. Angus MacNish and Smith Curtisiof Rossland, ��� B. C, are at the Windsor, says a Montreal exchange. They report the mining activity in the Boundary and two Kootenay districts to be greater than ever. Rossland is steadily growing, and the mineral output increasing. The latter will exceed $3,- 000,000 for the present year. ��� Several shippers will be added to the list this year. Heretofore the ore shipments have all come from a single area of 80 aeres. but large ore bodies have been opened up on all sides of this favored area within the past year or so, and Rossland's prospects are brighter than ever. Phenomenal activity is1 shown in the Boundary district, which" begins about 25 miles west of, Rossland, and through which the C. P. R. branch known as the Columbia & Western railway will be in operation in a month or so. Here the little hamlets are growing into towns almost in a night. Greenwood, and the twin cities of Grand Forks and Columbia are making the greatest progress. Building is very active, and real estate values have gone up with a bound. Prospectors in great numbers cover the hills for 100 miles west, and rich finds are reported from the West Fork of Kettle river, Keremeos creek, while the copper richness of Copper Mountain on the Similkameen river are unequalled in " British Columbia. In the Grand Forks and Greenwood districts development of mines is proceeding on hundreds of properties, and in many cases on a large scale, and now that it will be possible soon to ship ore, many machinery plants are being installed. The erection of a large smelter at Grand Forks to treat the ores of Knob Hill and Old Ironsides custom ores is booming Grand Forks City, which by the way, is one of the most beautiful places in the Province. It is situated in the wide fertile valley of Kettle river, where all kinds of fruit and cereals can be produced. The snow never exceeds 12 to 15 inches and dissappears early in March. The climate is mild and most salubrious. Mining is now on a more legitimate basis than ever before. With very few exceptions, none hut the very best properties are being incorporated, and the purchaser of shares has a fair chance to realize a profit on his venture. Of course mining is somewhat more risky than many other businesses, but on the other hand the profits when success attends the venture are many times greater, and this will alwaj-s be alluring to progressive men. Canadians are rapidlyi learning the mining business, and a rapid growth in ore output will be the result. British Columbia will easily take the lead, as her mineral wealth is beyond belief, and but re-1 quires capital to develop it. This, Eastern Canada must largely furnish for years to come, as English investors want only fully developed shipping mines. These they take up eagerly, as witness the Le Roi mine sold a year ago for $3,500,000 to the B. A. C, and now quoted on the English market at nearly $8,000,000.

GAUNCE ADDRESSES BAPTIST CONVENTION. ��!mmmmmmmmmmmf�� Baptizes Them In Floods of Elonuences. Greenwood and Boundary CreeK His Theme. A Good Field for Missionary Work. With Greenwood and Boundary creek for a theme, W. G; Gauhce of this city electrified the Baptist convention at Vancouver' recently. In glowing language he pictured the wonderful possibilities of the district and strongly urged the Baptists to get in on the ground floor. Mr.. Gaunce said in part: Mr. President and Christian friends: A happy fortune has enabled , me to be present this evening and an equally happy one affords.me; the opportunity to tell you something of the " wonderful Boundary country," as the superintendent of missions has fitly describe ed the region whence I come. When I tell you that I have travelled many hundred miles to get here and help to convey to-your minds the breadth of this great province, and incidentally to remind you of the magnificent conquest that lies before you if.youare to plant you cause clear across it. , ., CONTRAST WITH-THECOAST. , Buried for ntanv months in the mountains of my adopted wilderness, I feel a great reluctance.to stand before a city audience; a reluctance that would be unyielding, were I not aware that living on these lower levels and breathing this soft subduing air you grow indulgent and will thus overlook my imperfections. Between Greenwood,thejgeographicajl, topographical,: financial, and commercial capital of the Boundary creek region and the sea-coast metropolis, 'I find many contrasts. There one, sees mountain fastness, here maritime delight; there the miner's cabin of hewn logs, here the millionaire's "mansion or block of stone or brick; there the; four and six horse team carrying the "heav- v iest loads, here the Oreritial steamers come and go; there the swiftest means to travel is the cayuse and saddle, here ��� trie luxurious railway car. ... ��� :"' But I ani reminded of-another and greater -contrast. . For. some months your people have-been discussing and ��� your-press has been agitating a > quest- lori-of local interest, "Deadmari's island," while i come from what all who see it admit is'"Live Man's land," a region where only live men, and live causes, and live churches, and live preachers, can maintain themselves and flourish.' . The "Live Man's Land " of which Greenwood is the admitted centre, is a region of about 15 to 20 square miles, where within the next few years is to be witnessed the grandest character of development. A recent map published by the Canadian Pacific railway entitled, " Mines and Mineral Claims in the vicinity of Greenwood," shows the following wonderful copper ore camps within this confined area I have referred to, viz : Longr'Lake camp, Dead-" wood camp, Greenwood camp, Wellington camp, Smith's camp, Providence camp, Skylark camp. It also shows Central camp, but I omit this in my presentation because I believe it naturally a feeder for another town across the divide which separates, the Boundary country and the Kettle river valley from the Boundary creek proper. These all lie within nine miles of this bustling little town. Within this circle whose radius I repeat is about nine miles from its Greenwood centre, are 3,000 people to-day, 2,000 of them in Greenwood, and the other 1,000 scattered throughout these various camps in all of which are from one to several mining claims already demonstrated to bear evidence of becoming mines of . great value, and I think I hazard nothing when I predict that five years from to-day will find 25,000 people within nine miles of the. Baptist church of Greenwood. STRATEGIC POSITION. There is little that I can tell you afeout Greenwood that can prove very interesting to a religious body I fear. It lies in the centre of the Boundary Creek valley and nature,'by directing most of the mountain streams into the valley at or near this point indicated to man the natural point towards which to converge the roadways which to-day reach the encompassing hills from that point. I am aware that different men regard the same thing differently according to taste, education, environment, life purpose, etc. For example several men are standing at the falls of Niagara. One an artist, sees there the subject for a picture and finds there the inspiration which enables him to transfer the same to canvas. Another, a scientist, standing there thinks little of its, beauty as his El Crepusculo, Por Larranaga, Benjamin Franklin, Manuel Gurcia, Alonza El Ecuador Bock and Africana La Flor De R Fulton :: ..Tiirlusli and Egyptian.. CIGARETTES. Pipes anci Smokers Articles STATIONERY. _ IL A. KING* Co. ��=| COPPER ST. . ,_ mind speculates upon the ages geologic through which this great phenomenon has been rwrqught. ��� . Another wrapt with the wondrous scene reflects upon the source, of/',,the mighty flood which, so tumultously pours, itself at his feet, and in recalling that it gathered slowly, silently in form of snow- flaks and rain drop far away, finds illustration for' the slow gathering of mighty influence for g-ood,-.finds encouragement for the pressing, of-great enterprises and causes,' a'.-little at a time. A capitalist standing there sees rio beauty perhaps, feels: no. power, as his mind grasps the plan for conversion of this wasted energy * into an agency 'for ' human welfare,-/ and his own. aggrandizement. And: so different people looking at these, mountains above '--Greenwood5 might entertain different views and feel different emotions, but to all who find themselves in a mining country the question doubtless arises what do these hills contain? What is ..the phase of the question you think that does not-interest this convention. Pause there a moment and ponder. Mountains as such and minerals as such may not interest a convention but remember that mountains of mineral imply men, and men are the things with which men, and Christian conventions arid .religious denominations ought to deal, and so the mountains do contain interest for you, my friends, an interest which must grow with the years as the population of these hills will grow. These beginnings of mines mean men, their development means many times more men, and men and their physical, mental and moral betterment flight to be the grand concern of a Baptist convention. GROWTH OF POPULATION. Scattered all through these hills, and in these valleys you will find the tent of prospector, the cabins of twos and threes, the boarding houses and hotels of large corporations, and with railway and smelter facilities just at hand, the numbers of men in village and town, in shaft and tunnel, hillside and mountain top is to be many times multiplied. Thus it is that the stream of human life constantly swells in yonder interior. And it will continue to swell Room there for men who seek the health of higher altitudes, who seek scope for their energy, who desire opportunity for the investment of their money or their abilities. Room for the capitalist and for the artizan and laborer. Room for the capitalists to invest not merely in town lots and mining stocks, but in the development of mining prospects into mines thus happily wedding in a productive way the capital and the physical energy of man to the lasting advantage of both. It is this prospect of a fast growing population which prompts me to s tand here this evening and say to you that if you seek fields for your energies, opportunity for your sympathy and love, rich returns for your investment ot heart and mind don't overlook the great region of the hills. Here is your grand opportunity, but for its accomplishment you need good men. Miners are a distant class of men and to reach these men you need a DISTANT TYPE of man, Mere goodness is not enough Only the man who wears the measure of a man in his heart, who holds a sympathy , for men, who without excusing or defending them in their follies and sins still loves and sympathizes with them in air their waywardness can hope to be useful in bringing about the transformation of their great strong natures. ..'...' Some years ago in Boston I was looking at that great painting of Munkacsy's, Christ before Pilate. As I stood there studying the face' of the great man-lover, a gentleman with a little girl of seven or eight years took a stand beside me. The child looked at the picture intently for a few minutes and then looking up at her parent said, ''There's a lot of humaneness on His face, papa, isn't there." The child in her simple way had spelled out the great truth of the centuries even as the artist feeling it in his soul, had wrought it on the canvas. It is this "humaneness" which wins everywhere, that will win up. in the mountains. Your: .board sent there a man of that character, a man with a large, warm heart, a man whose sympathy made for him an open door and for his canse a host'of friends. With such a man continued there, or replaced by such another, I assure you, your board need not beat all apprehensive about the expense such a charge will entail upon its treasury, because in one short year I believe the Greenwood church could be made self- supporting. THE PRESENT MISSIONARY. Rev. Ralph W. Trotter fills to riiy mind the measure of an ideal worker among this class of men. Not seeing him present I trust it will be no embarrassment to him to illustrate my idea of his work, by telling, with your permission, Mr. Chairman, the story of the old colored preacher, and by saying that Bro. Trotter, if his modesty would accord might tell the story with great propriety. The negro preacher was trying to illustrate the great beneficience and munificence- of God, how that He made all things, great and small. Realizing that illustration was the effective way of teaching great truths'he said: " He ;made the great suit, shinining by day, and He made the little fire-fly flickering at night; He made the great mountains lifting their brows for the kiss of the morning, and He made the smallest pebble that the child plays with on the seashore; He made the great ocean surging by day, sobbing by night, and He made the glittering dew drop on the fern leaf; and then as if to climax and culminate all, he added, He made me and He made a daisy." We should be sorry to lose Rev.' Mr. Trotter and trust that he may long remain, and I speak no idle compliment when I add- should he leave us, send us one' as near his measure as possible. Greenwood* may be made the centre of one of your most influential and far reaching causes. For it missions will naturally grow in many directions, all within a few miles of town. In conclusion, Mr. President, let me urge your appreciation of this field and your high estimate of the charac ter of missionary needed to capture, and cultivate it. I am no ardent de- nominationalist, no narrow sectarian- no bitter bigot, but I saw your opportunity here. Occupy the fields with no weakling but a strong man, with no narrow-gauge churchman, but with a broad man, with no mere student of theology, but with a master mind with men ; for up in these bleak but beautiful hills you will find men, not aloiie with broad chests and brawny arms, but with great warm hearts and clear heads, among whom lies your opportunity to do magnificent work for cause and country.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1899-07-22 |
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. |
