Under the Dame of Montreal Boundary Creek Mining Company.���The Lemon Mine of Camp McKinney.���Some Recent Strikes.��� .'��� Mining Notes. ' ' ��� Montreal has added another to the rapidly growing- list of big mining companies that are iloated to develop Boundary creek properties. The "Sunset" group in Deadwood camp ^comprising the Sunset, Crown, Silver and C. O. V. have been acquired by the Montreal liomidary Creek Mining- company. The Sunset group w.i-. owned by W. L. Hogg of Montreal. lie visited the properties about a mouth ago and upon his return to Montreal succeeded in interesting- sonie capitalist.-, in the company which he floated to lake over the properties. The Montreal Boundary Creek- mining company is capitalized for 52.000,000. Hon. Senator Ugilvie, the millionaire flour king- is president, AV. Barclay Stephens, manager of the Western Loan & Trusl Co., is viie-pre.sideul,:md W. Jacques, secretary. The other dircctors are Hon. Richard Turner of Whitehead & Turner, Quebec, W. L. Hogg manager of tlie Investment Company, Montreal; T. W. Horn, Luxfer Prisin Company, Toronto; J. G-. Ross, Montreal, and Herman Young-.Quebec. A limited number of shares were placed on the Montreal market at 20 cents and were all subscribed. The company has secured one of the best known and most promising properties in the Boundary creek country.' The greater portion of the work has been done on the Sunset. A shaft has been sunk oh tlie property to a depth of 220 feet and 1175 feet of tunnel work done. A crosscut at the 100 foot level encountered an 80 foot ledge of gold- copper ore. Nearly 60 feet of this ledge is solid ore. Surface . values from the property range from $7 to S50 to the ton. The average value is about $20. The development work is being continued- under the superintendence o J. H. Macfarline. As soon as the railway is completed a big plant which has already been ordered will be brought to the mine. The Deadwood- Copper camp branch of the railway which is now-being built ,from Greenwood will pass through the Sunset. The Sunset group is situated about one and a half miles from this city. ^??H??!?T?????????m??!?n??HnT?T??????????nt?TT???????T?????H?????T????T?????Tn???!T?T??HH??H??t?T??????r^ M. J.

The ore is rich free milling and concentrating and was the only British Columbia free milling ore awarded a medal at the big Omaha exhibition held last year. Mr. Grevy had an excellent exhibit at the' exhibition. Considerable work was done on the properties during-the winter under the superintendence of Mr. Patterson. There is an incline shaft on the. Gold Standard 141 feet in depth. Drifts and crosscuts were run at the 125 foot level. The pay ch lite at :'this dept.fis fully three feet wide and averages S53 in gold. The company intends- 'doing a larg-e amount of work during tlie 'coming summer. Mr. Grevy who had just returned from Camp M- Kinney reported that Joe Murphy tl:e .-.uperiu- tendenl of the Waterloo had gone to Penticton for the hoist, engine and boiler for the property. Recently a mill run of 260 pounds of Waterloo ore was made in Spokane.. S18 to tlie ton was secured from the plates and 5343 in concentrates. The Fontenoy' company are making a good showing,' having plenty of money to develop the property. A big- strike was recently made on the North Star a Doug-las mountain property. A crosscut ran through 4ft of rich Galena ore. Work will shortly be started in tlie Old England a promising property situated near the Lemon group. The work on the Ecudor cut through a five foot ledge of rich ore. It is reported that the Rock Creek company will shortly resume operations on the Victoria mine. R. M. McEntire of the firm of Mc- E-itire, McDonnell & Co., has returned froni a twelve days trip to Nicola and Simiikameen. He bonded two claims, the Peacock and Boulder on-Nicola lake. ..The .showings, are very/large. There is a 23 foot shaft on one -of the properties all in ore. Mr. McEntire predicts a big future for the Nicola on a copper producing, country. He also . reports great activity in the Similka- m jen district. ���' - -." - ,..- v ; Dr. Deek of Montreal was in the city last week after returning from the Simiikameen country where he bonded several properties for himseif and Montreal associates... .... ..;���.. Mayor Leckie made a flying trip to the Simiikameen country last week. E. A. Bielenberghas seven men at work on the Iron Top, a claim near the famous Buckhorn. Mr. Bielenberg believes the.Iron Top a bigger and better claim than the Buckhorn, and the development goes to,prove his statement. Rufus Pope, the principal shareholder in the Buckhorn Mining company, is expected here in a few days. A. L. McEwen and Col, Ray have visited several properties in the district. They intend spending some time in the Simiikameen district. The big plant has been installed at the Winnipeg mine, and the work of pumping the water began yesterday. Some strong ledges have recently been uncovered in Kimberley Camp. Mr. Shearer, who has been working on properties held by himself and W. McCurrach, made a rich strike last week. NOTES. E. Escalet of the Clarendon has returned from Rossland where he sold a Sophie mountain property at a big figure. H. B. Plummer and C. N. Corbus, of Granite Pass, Oregon, are in the city. Both are prominent mining men who have heavy interests in placer mines in Oregon. They are anxious to invest in Boundary Creek mines, and with that object in view are examining properties in the district. Chief MacLaren is showing suspicious characters no mercy these days consequently the chain gang is increasing. The other evening an individual on horseback informed the crowd that he was a tough from the Coeur d'Alenes. The chief happened to come along and pointed the road out of the city. The Cceur d'Alener sized up the chief and got as fast as his horse could carry him. The chain gang- is being employed in clearing the alley between Government and Copper streets.

Its riches have been- proclaimed throughout the. money ��� centres.- The capitalist in.. Montreal, Toronto; New York, Chicago or any other eastern centre has read' ' and ��� knp.ws ....soryiething about the \vondeifill,possibilities of the district.': ��� It.toQk.time..,a#d..money and h.ard work- -to,vd.Kss5ini_n*itc.this..kno\.vledg-e.

Board of trade meetings are no longer held because of lack of interest. No organized effort, is being ni'idc to keep the city prominently before the public and the majority erf the business men who do take any interest in public affairs confine their attention' to purely local affairs that are of little importance. Greenwood has grown from a village to'a healthy city; There are it hundred ways by which the interests of the citv could be pRINOLE i- WHITESIDE. ���/��� Barristers and Solicitors, Qtofart'et (puBft'ci.efc, .

North and south, east and west new mining districts are being opened up. Is a vigorous policy of expansion being pursued in connection/ with this rade'and are Greenwood business 'men as aggressive as of yore in securing all the business. The other day a prominent mining man who is working a property fifty miles from Greenwood informed tlie ."writer that he bought- everything in Greenwood. His reason for doing this was that he could get 'goods', here at a -lower, rate than ��� elsewhere', and he, was always sure to get what he wanted because merchants carried large stocks. Every mining man should be taught to' recognize the same fact. ���Then the business, men ought to organize to watch tlie railway company When the line is completed. One business man lias but little inlluence in unravelling freight tangles but a strong- organization has. Railways have a convenient habit ot making discriminating rates where possible and the very best of them will stand watching. The business men. of Greenwood should see that they get as good rates as- business men in other cities and better if possible.. Many suggest ions might be offered regarding the matter of promoting, the best interests of the city. The great desideratum is the cultivation of a - healthy public spirit by the citizens. V. KETCHUM.. W.S. KEITH, M. 12. KEITH & KETCHUM I v It is wonderful how speedy bad news travels. A malicious individual sent : out the news that the new Boundary .Creek channel had overflown its banks and a portion of the city had been inundated. There was no truth .in the report, but nearly every paper copied it. The. Boundary. Creek channel has so far been able to take care of the high water, and with still further contemplated improvements will be proof against the highest water. ' The flotation of the Sunset group in" Montreal will bring Boundary creek into still greater favor in the Canadian metropolis. With property of undoubted merit and officials 'who stand high in the financial world the Montreal Boundary Creek company will do much towards directing- greafer attention to the 'mineral riches of this district. It TAKES people to liiake a city. Men with plenty of confidence and push can make a city anywhere. That the people of Greemv-ood have the necessary confidence and push is demonstrated by the fact that a better and more expensive class of buildings is being erected here than in any city of a similar size in the Dominion. Fortunately thieves are often not possessed of sufficient temerity to rob Her. Majesty's mails in Canada. Would it not be well for the authorities to inquire whether the reign of economy has not emboldered the robbers. Economy in policemen is often expensive.

' Word reached this city that on Friday evening-. Hugh McDermott was drowned in the Simiikameen river on the trail between Princeton and Copper mountain, at a point about two miles above Princeton. McDermott and two companions .were at tlje ford and- he arid one of his companions crossed the river successfully, althoug-h it was - running rapidly,, being;, hig-h in its -> banks from, the effects of recent thaws and the .consequent melting of snow. .... When they got on the opposite bank they looked.;back and saw , that the .*. third horse refused to enter the water, '���and desiring-:to help their companion '"-"Slit of his'trouble they started to re- cross the stream to his assistance. .Botli horses\ lost their' footing- and succeeding-; in unseating- their riders, McDermott lost his hold of his horse and was, immediasely swept down the rapids, and, although an excellent swimmer and a.strong- man the-current was too'strong: for him and he soon ... disappeared' beneath the icy waters. His companion clung to his horse and safely reached the shore.

C, Muy 20th, 1899. ��� To Ti-ru UnrTOK, Boundary Creek Times, Greenwood, B. C. Dear Sir : I have recently learned since my partial recovery from illness of long duration* that during the recent visit of Mr. Leonard Norris, assistant commissioner of Land and Works, several land cases in regard to the town of'Beaverton or the pre-emption of W. T. Thompson were tried. *- I never heard "of them ! ! They were never tried ! ! simple for the reason that they never existed, Then why ? Because the title to Beaverton is perfect. Who owns Beaverton ? The trading men in Greenwood mostly ! Bankers, the townsite owners of Greenwood, your leading brokers, assayers, merchants,, miriing men, and citizens. Why db-tliey owiipropertjr in Beaverton ? Because they know a good thing when they see it. That is what is building -Greenwood city up so fast, and besides they have been on the ground and have seen it themselves. Beavertorl' is the cerihinu.= of the West Pork branch of-the Canadian Pacific Railway, there are no Other branches in that part of the country. Wiry is Beaverton going to-be prosperous; and a large arid thriving centre ? Because it is the key to the entire mining district, and running right up to, in fact right into.-'the-to\vri, are some of the largest and-richest surface showings of mineral on the continent. Ask such exper-ienced men ���.in these matters as Robt. Wood, George Guess, C. Scott Galloway, J.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1899-06-03 |
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. |
