In.,"Boundary Creek district the'miners at the Brooklyn and Sunset refused to work under the new arrangements which the mineowners considered necessary to meet the reduction in the hours of labor. Since it was announced by the government that the eight-hour law would be enforced, mine owners and representatives of property had seveial meeting's in the city with a view to arriving at some definite conclusion regarding the enforcementof the eight-hour law. It was at . last decided to adopt and adhere to the1 Rossland sen In of wages. This scale allows 83.50 l',.��r eight hours for machine men. The trouble arose in the mines without drilis... The old scale of $3.50 was allowed for eight hours in shafts; but in dry drifts hammer-men were reduced to $3 for eight hours. This reduction affected only' the two properties mentioned, as the other mines working ii iiUerground drifts have drills. When the announcement was made to the men at the Brooklyn and Sunset, they refused to accept the reduction. They were given their time and pay, and all. came to the city. It is reported that as McKenzie, Mann, & Co. owning the Stemwinder and Brooklyn, and the Montreal-Boundary Creek Co.��� owning the Sunset, have purchased compressors . for their properties, no special effort will be made to secure men at the $3 rate, the owners being satisfied to await the installation of their big, plants, when the . cause for the dissatisfaction of the men .will 'be removed. SITUATION AT NELSON. A Nelson despatch states that with the enforcement of the eight-hour law theMiners'TJnion showed its hand when the miners from the Athabasca, Granite, and Royal Canadian mines, over 100 in all, came into town. This was rather a surprise, as it was thought the Athabasca, by reducing the price of board, had made satisfactory arrangements with the men. The Granite miners quit about ten days ago, but their places had since been filled, while no complaint had been heard from the Royal Canadian. The two latter mines belong to the Duncan Mines, Limited, and the miners on the Gr : -i ite were I formerly paid $3.50, and -charged SI a I day for board, while on the Royal Can-' adian they, got S3, and were charged 75 cents a day for board. On June T, wages at the Granite dropped to S3, but no change was made on the, Royal Canadian, where the miners are better off now than before. The management is very sore, and attributes the action of the Royal Canadian, miners to intimidation, but it is only fair to ,say that there is no evidence of any influence, save the moral one of the Union. There is no change at the Hall mines, and no sign of any. Those mines are largely non-union, and the conditions there are peculiar. The regular wages there have always, been S3 and S2.50. Some men working for wages are now- better off than ever. About 75 per cent of the work is done by contract, the men working at so much a foot.( Skilled miners working thus are all making good nioneyj' and the wage question does not affect them. Many of them have worked there for two,, three, and four years. The Exchequer is still working, and Union representatives received a cold reception there. One of the men informed them that but for the unions,they would now be getting $3i50, as before, instead of S3. ROSSr.AND ALLr.KIGHT. . : Fronv .Rossland word comes that there is no trouble in; the camp. ���: In : February, when the law was passed, the mineowners ; commenced to follow out its provisions, and there has not been - a hitch since. The mineowners did not wish to.have any trouble, nor did the miners, and concessions were' made on both sides. It was feared ;��� before the law went into . effect that there might be trouble. This apprehension was shown more by the miners than the operators.: It was displaced in the fact tliat the. :miners stopped : spending their money except for necessities, and when asked the reason why replied that. there might be a strike over the eight-hour' law, and if the trouble came they wanted a few dollars in case of a possible lockout. When the government temporarily suspended the law, it made no difference to the Rossland mineowners;- as'they cohtin-s ,ued theeight-hoursystein.Itisclaimed, however, as a matter "of fact, that the ' men do-not accomplish " as much in 8 hours as they used,to in 10. The rate of wages paid is just the same as when ' 10 hours were worked. Even before the law was passed, considerable three- shift work was done, and this made it necessary to only work 8 hours: that is to say, the eight-hour system was partially in effect at this camp before the law was passed. At the present writing the best of feeling prevails, the men are satisfied, and-/so are the mineowners, and there will be no trouble over the eight-hour law. THE CELEBRATION. Arrangements Being Perfected for Two Big Days Sports. T'.ie committee appointed by the citizens and a committee from the Greenwood AthK vie Association got down to hard work Litis week, with the result that there is now every assurance that the two days celebration to be held, on July 3 and 4 will eclipse anything of the kind ever held in the Boundary Creek district. The committee outlined their plans, and are now working out the details of the big celebration. The finance committee were hustlers, and by the end of this week will have S2.000 for prizes! The committee decided to offer two big prizes for a drilling contest to encourage the miners to come into the city. The winning team will receive S200, and the second team S100. It is stipulated, however, that a team must drill 30 inches to win either money. This ensures a magnificent contest of speed and endurance. There is going 1o be some good horseracing, including two or three novelty, races that will afford plenty, of amusement. Baseball enthusiasts will get what they want inthe shape of a game between the veterans���possibly two. There is going to be something new in the shape of lacrosse. A game has never been played in the Boundary Creek country. It is Canada's national game, and a most exciting and entertaining one it is. The small sports are well looked after. There will be plenty of events in this line. The local firemen will be given an opportunity to show their speed and dexterity with hose and reel. The committee decided to offer a prize of S25 for the best decorated building in the city. It is hoped everyone will take an interest in the prize, so that the city may have a gala appearance during the celebration. There is going to be lots of fireworks, and Pat Welch has promised to save some dynamite, which is now terrorizing the sleepy denizens of tlie town at an unearthly hour in the morning, for a royal salute, ���Ef.��if^iJ5��^.?-iCfKffitR:i!W ['HE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES.

Kerby's -Map of Wellington Camp Candies, Uruceirls' Tobaccos, Cigars, Sundries. Stationery, etc.. By Con-Centrate in the British Columbia Mining Record. To those who were in the district in the earlydays, five and six years ago, when the Skylark,: Providence, Defiance and other claims made shipments of high-grade ore. the'news that a bona fide company has again commenced operations in the well-known section of Boundary Creek, called Skylark camp, will be welcome. This.com-. pany, the Boundary Mining- Company. Limited, with headquarters in Spokane, and registered at Victoria, owns the Last Chance, one of the best properties in the group of claims which'con- stitute the Skylark camp. To those unfamiliar with the history of the camp it may be interesting- to learn that when mining in Boundary Creek was at a discount; when the.pros- pect, of the district securing transportation facilities was extremely far distant; when Boundary Creek was a practically unexplored and unknown section of the Province, and its mineral wealth was not by any means recognized; in the years immediately preceding- the staking of the first claims in the Trail Creek district, the Skylark, Providence, Defiance and other claims were then being- worked and from time to time made shipments of ore. It is almost unnecessary to state that the ore shipped was very high-grade, as in those days, working- a mining- property in Boundary Creek was an expensive and difficult operation^ involving no little faith, pluck and perseverance. Planks and mining- timbers had to be hewn or made by whipsaw, necessities of every kind were expensive, and the ore shipped had to be carried on the backs of cay uses over a rough miner's trail and then hauled long-distances over an apology for a wag-on road. Still ore was shipped, though not in larg-e quantities. When, however, it became apparent that the district must necessarily within a few years' time obtyin transportation facilities and after the best-known claims in the camp had'changed hands, and in some cases been acquired by companies, the'hi although the Skylark, 'Last Chance Bnd other properties were de-' veloped, no further shipments were made, it being obviously better policy to await the advent of a railway and allow the ore to remain on the dump than to continue to send the ore to the smelter by wagon or pack trains over many miles of badly constructed roads. Thus it happens that the claims which in the pioneer days of mining in Boundary Creek helped greatly to furnish work and give' heart to the early pioneers, will, under different conditions, again come into prominence as being amongst the first of . the Boundary Creek mines to take advantage of the facilities afforded by the construction of thf C. & W. Ry. to consign ore to the smelter. The Last Chance is a full-sized claim, for which a Crown grant was obtained in 1897. The original owners, Messrs. Cook & McCormick, did a considerable amount of work on the property, exposing a four-foot lead, on which they sank a shaft over forty ' feet deep on the lead. In the spring of 1895 the present company was formed and the claim passed into their hands. The original shaft was then continued to a depth of 110 feet, following the ore down. Leaving a few feet for a sump a thirty-foot drift on the lead was then made at this depth. "The vein, along this drift is four feet between walls in a diorate formation, and has a pay streak of eighteen inches. The ore carries ruby silver and gray copper in a silicious gangue and the pay streak averages SI.20 in gold and silver. This lead has been exposed by deep crosscuts on the surface for about 1,000,fetit, and also on the adjoining claim, the Lake, for 200 feet. Its strike is northwest and southeast, and it dips to the east at an angle of over 45 degrees into the mountain side.

The claim is well sitnated, lying alongside the main stage-'road' and within a mile of transportation at Greenwood.- It is well timbered, the timber being of ,a size suitable for mining purposes. '-' The Boundary Mining Company is incorporated for $1,000,000, in $1 "shares',1' fully paid up and non-assessable. So far'i practically no stock has been placed on the market, the promoters having contributed 1-5 of their personal holdings in order to meet calls for the,'development so far accomplished. Considering the quality of the ore, the situation of the claims, which will render development and production less difficult,than in most mining ventures, and the permanent nature of the lead so far developed, the Boundary Mining company can be congratulated on having secured the Last Ch.i:ue mine, and can safely count on having acquired a property of great promi ������.

Between the two leads a vertical double compartment shaft, timbered with square sets, has been sunk 110 feet, and the intention of the company is to sink this shaft another 65 feet and then (leaving 25 feet for a sump) cross-cut for both ore bodies at the 150 level. This policy will commend itself to mining men. At the present time a hoisting and j pumping plant is being installed on the claim, consisting of a ten-horse power boiler, hoist and cable, and a No. 7 Cameron pump. The present buildings consist of a commodious shaft house and a roomy bunk house and some miners' cabins, The section to the west of here, known as the Boundary country, has been known to contain valuable mining properties for a good many years. The ore, with remote exceptions, is not free-milling,' but is rather base, and the best means of reducing it is by smelting. The section has not been productive because it lacked transportation facilities. For the past three or four years there has been a great- activity there because transportation was promised, and as an outcome, a number, of .mines will be ready to ship when the railway arrives. Prospects have been placed in a position to be called mines; ���they could today, if the railroad was completed, commence the shipping of ore from what, in quite a number of instances, are large dumps. Among these are the B. C, the Ironsides, the Knob Hill, the Brooklyn, the Stemwinder, the City of Paris, the Lincoln, the Winnipeg, Brandon'and Golden Crown, Mother Lode, Morrison, Jewel, and others. In addition to these there are properties like the King Solomon, the Snowshoe, the Pathfinder, and others, that in a short time will be ready to ship. Besides, too, there is a district in the Burnt Basin which was only opened a few months since, and which, .within a very short time, in such properties as the Mother Lode, the John Bull group, the Ennismore, the Mystery, and other properties, will ere long become producers of pre. There are some 12 or . 13 mines in the Boundary section���mentioned above��� however, that are now ready to ship, and immediately on the advent of the railway, will produce at least 2,000 tons of ore per week. This quautity they I will be able to increase, and inside of j six months they should be able to'.pro- j duce at least 4,000 tons every seven days. Further on this quantity will be largely augmented, and some conservative mining engineers estimate that within two or three years the output of the Boundary Creek section j should be at least 8,000 tons per week. This quantity added to that produced in the Trail Creek division, and in the Slocan, East Kootenay, and other portions, of the Kootenays, will make a grand aggregate that will be hard to match anywhere on this continent in the same area.

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, }>-our leading brokers, assayers, merchants, mining men, and citizens. Why do the}'- own property in Beaverton ? Because they know a good thing when they see it. That is what,is building Greenwood cit}*- up so fast, and besides they have been on the ground and have seen it themselves. Beaverton is the c'jrininn-'* of the West Fork branch of the .Canadian Pacific Railway, there are no other branches in that part of the country. Why is Beaverton going to be prosperous and a large and thriving centre ? Because it is the key to the entire.mining district, and running right up to, in fact right into the town, are some of thelargest and richest surface showings of mineral on the continent.

There is a saving clause in the act, but even without that clause there would be no reason to fear that the licenses would have been rendered- invalid. The apt only applies to licenses issued after the act came into operation. This should ��� be clear to anyone who reads it over.

It was to be expected that an innovation such as the eight-hour law would meet with considerable opposition, and might possibly lead to conflict. It is a happy commentary upon the high respect held for.law and order in the province that nothing of the kind has happened. It is unfortunate that in some instances the employers and employed were unable to come to satisfactory arrangements, and mines were closed down and men thrown out of employment. With good judgment and common sense these differences will in a short time be wiped out, and the mining industry will be carried on under the eight-hour law with as little triction as ��� was shown before the law was enacted. THE B. C. MINE. Everyone interested in the development of the mineral resources of Boundary Creek cannot but be gratified at the wonderfully successful career of the B. C. mine. Two mines made Rossland. Take away the Le Roi and the War Eagle, and the Kootenay metropolis would be a sorry place indeed. So it is with Greenwood. Its. future is so closely connected with that of the mining properties tributary to it, that evolution from a prospect to a mine marks a new epoch in the history of the city. The B. C. mine, and other big properties in the immediate vicinity, have been and must necessarily be Greenwood's strongest and best friends. It is in the interests of the city that everything should be done to encourage their friendship. Vernon 4 Nelson Telephone Company Have Secured Connection Wiih Inland Telephone. On Tuesday last the Vernon & Nelson Telephone Company secured connection with the Inland Telephone Company at Cascade City. . The latter company have been busy building a line from Bossburg to Cascade. This was completed and the connection made on Tuesday. Formerly the Vernon & Nelson company worked with the Spokane and British Columbia company. The new arrangement will give better opportunities to . do business and will obviate vexatious delays. The Inland company have two metallic lines running ���between Spokane and Rossland. When the Boundary Creek patrons want either place, the alternate line will be used for the Rossland-Spokanebusiness, thus insuring a prompt service. Heretofore the delays were occasioned principally by Rossland and Spokane monopolizing the single wire. The Inland company has direct connection with Republic, and throughout all the western states. A person in Greenwood can now speak to Portland, Vancouver, San Francisco, or even Los Angeles if his purse be long enough. Boundary Creek M. & M.

The kight of claim holders to the timber on their mineral claims has been a moot question for several years. Hon. F. C. Cotton, chief commissioner of lands and works, has issued a circular which deals with this important question. Mr. Cotton's construction of the law is that the owner of a mineral claim, whether crown-granted or not has a right to the use of the timber upon the claim. The claim holder is, however, subject to the royalty levied by the crown, and the timber inspector has been instructed to make collections when timber is used. The government will protect claim holders in their right to the timber, but they will be asked to pay royalty. s$ 4* 4�� 4- 4* 4* 4- 4* 4* -I* <$"��� 4* 3? 4�� 4�� 4�� ���* Just Arrived A FINE LINE OF California Bottled aud Canned goods i ��� ��o���� �����. ��� tmt ��ne.m �������� ��a�� ��� ���* o ��������� ��a* ��� *m A Most Complete Grocery ^ Stock ��f-> 4> 4> MINERAL ACT, 1896.

Development of the Big Summit Camp Property Brings it into Still Greater Prominence. Large Ore Bodies, High Values, Excellent Smelting Qualities are the Striking Characteristics of the Mine, The B. C. mine in Summit camp is full of rich copper "ore and surprises. From the time of its location by John ��� Keough to the present when the ore on the dump is worth nearly $200,000 and a large force of men are rapidly developing the property, the mine has filled the mining expert as well as the ordinary individual with astonishment. Its location, its magnificient ore bodies, the peculiarly rich character of the ore���everything connected with the property is unique. Luck, or <a kind Providence must be held responsible for its discovery. No average prospector would expect to find outcrop- ' pings on the level where the B. C. is located. The visitors to the B. C. leaves Greenwood by the Summit camp , road. The grade is easy and the road has been weil built. He passes a slaughter house, three saw mills, and sees upon the steep mountain sides location posts and mouths of tunnels, and shafts where outcroppings might be expected and were found and where the Oro Denero and the Emma and a : dozen other properties are located. Beyond the country becomes comparatively level and the traveller natur- , ally supposes that he must journey to a hill seen in the distance to see the B. C. But an opening is seen in the thick woods, a neat residence, shaft house, bunk house and other buildings come into view and the B. C. is found where least expected. ,,. The story of the B. C. told in all its details with sidelights thrown upon it, would make intensly interesting reading. It was located as a "wild cat" and was considered one until about two years ago when'John Keough and sons secured the property. John Keough, a Colyille rancher left his home to prospect Summit camp. He was accompanied by his sons. One day they happened to be on the B. C. ground which had already been located. For no particular reason they began to prospect the ground. They uncovered a ledge of copper ore. The locater was away. The Keough's wrote him offering a few hundred dollars for the property. The offer was eagerly accepted -and the claim was transferred to the Keough's. They went to work and found rich copper ore from the grass roots. ENGLISH CAPITAL. The merits of the property soon became public and representatives of English capital gave it their attention. A. Iy. McEwen, who was in Greenwood a few weeks ago was the first to take hold of the property. He represented the Mines Selection Company of "Condon: He visited the property and in less than five minutes he had it bonded for $60,000. Mr. McEwen's principals refused to sanction the deal believing the property to be too remote from transportation. Mr. McEwen was reluctuntly compelled to throw up the bond and Messrs. Harrison and Barchard immediately rebonded the property for themselves and English associates, at the same figure. They- began work in August 1897. A 30 horse power boiler, a 5-drill compressor and a small h oist were secured and continuous development work began. A shaft was sunk 165 feet. At SO feet a drift was run along the ledge and a similar drift at ISO feet. They worked the property for 12 months, paid the $60,000, piled up 2000 tons of rich copper ore on the dumps and then turned their attention to representatives of capital eager to purchase the property. THE COMINO OF MCCUAIG. Major R. G. Edwards Leckie, the well known mining engineer came into the Boundary creek country last year for the purpose of examining big property for a Montreal syndicate at whose head is Clarence J. McCuaig of the firm of McCraig, Rykert & Co. Major Leckie was at once impressed with the B. C. and spent five days in examining the property. He surveyed and examined and assayed and sampled until he became fully convinced that the B. C. was even a better property than its owners were aware of. Major Leckie made his report and the McCuaig syndicate purchased the property at a figure which has never been made public. It is rumoured that the price was $300,000. A company was floated in Montreal. So eager were investors to secure the property that they oversubscribed by several hundred thousand shares. Clarence J. McCuaig is a striking figure among the big promoters of western ruining ventures: He is responsible for the flotation of the new Payne company in the Slocan. He was the moving spirit in securing for Canadians the control of the Republic mine. It is only in keeping with the eternal fitness of things that a property like the B.C should"also pass under his control. '���.��������� DEVELOPING THE PROPERTY. The new company placed a large sum of money in the treasury and the development of the property was renewed on a larger scale. Major Leckie was retained' as consulting engineer, and John M. Scrafford appointed superintendent. Mr. Scrafford has had a long and successful experience in de- i veloping mining properties. For the ,.-. same syndicate he was superintendent of the Josie and the Gertrude & Coxey in Rossland. The company purchased a big plant for the property, but deemed it advisable to defer bringing it to the mine until the railway is completed. The development work is being confined to the 50- and 150-foot levels. The intention, of the Company is to thoroughly open up the ore body on these levels to fully demonstrate the pitchand trend of the deposit, which is necessary to determine the nn-s'l advantageous place to sink a large vertical working shaft. Drifts have been run north and south along the ore bodies at the 50- and ISO-foot levels, and cross- .cuts run at different points to determine the width of the ore body. In addition to the 165-foot shaft there is 685 feet of work at the 50-foot and 625 feet at the 150-foot levels. There are also two raises from the 50-foot level. The work will be continued until the arrival of the new plant, when a new three- compartment shaft will be sunk. It will be connected with the present workings, and levels will be made, every 100 feet. The new plant includes two 80-horse-power engines, a 20-drill compressor, and a large hoist. It was' purchased from . the James Cooper Manufacturing Company, Montreal. THE ORE. ' The ore body is-a contact deposit between limestone and "eruptive rock. Porphyry dikes are encountered at intervals, in the vicinity of which the ore is richer. The first-class ore is a solid sulphide composed of chalcopyrite with a little pyrrhotite. It is most desirable ore for any smelter, because of its rich co'pper values and excess of iron. The crosscuts run from the drifts show that the ore body varies in width from 15 feet to 40 feet. VALUE IN SIGHT. The visitor to the mine is at once impressed by the rich appearance of the ore dumps. There is a dump of picked ore containing 1,500 tons, a smelter return from which gave $57. The second-class dump contains over 2,500 tons, and is worth at least S20 to the ton. The values in the second- class dump average 7>/Z per cent copper, 4 ounces silver, and SI in gold. No effort has yet been made to strip the ore but from the bod}' on the surface, a similar showing at the 50-foot level, and again at the 150-foot level, it is a very conservative estimate to say that there are in sight at the B. C. mine 40,000 tons of ore that will average $25 to the ton. BUILDINGS. The new company has built a neat residence for the superintendent. In addition to this'there are a large shaft- house���25x70 feet���, a neat bunkhouse, a boardinghouse, an office, and other small buildings., A. healthy-looking vegetable garden and a beautiful flower garden bears testimony to the fact that the soil above is as rich as the rore beneath. ���'..'.''.. . ., SHIPPING FACILITIES. The Canadian Pacific Railway company are building a branch line to the B. C. The branch leaves the main line at Eholt, and passes between the bunkhouses and the ore dump. The work of construction is being vigorously prosecuted with the expectation of having the branch completed at the same time as the main line. All the smelters are anxious to secure the ore, and will treat it at the most favorable rates on account of its very desirable qualities. The B. C. was located under a lucky star. Since its history began there has been nothing to stop its progress or blemish its reputation. There never has been an accident at the property. Its path to a place among | the big mines of the world has been and is likely to be a smooth one. Look Any Further Than The ..- '��� ��#* *#*��� *^3>*f* -^ #> Tin Next Door to Postoflice.

In the special holiday number of the Boundary Creek Times, published at Christmas last year, there appeared a list���compiled by R. F. Coates, contractor and builder���of the number of buildings erected during the year 1898. The total cost of the buildings were figured at $69,200. A careful estimate of the building operations for the past portion of 1899 places the expenditure during that time at $203,400. One of the healthiest sig-ns of progress during 1898 was the number of substantial buildings' erected. That the town has grown beyond the expectations of the most optimistic is shown by the detailed statement given below. The buildings erected during the year, or under construction, are of the most substantial character. Some of them are imposing structures that would do credit to the principal street of a large city. This is particular^' true of the Miller & Wallace block on Copper-st., the walls of which are being erected. The building will occupy a frontage of 75 feet on Copper street, and will run back along Centre street for 110 feet. It will be three stories high. The foundation and walls to the second floor will be of stone. The rest of the building will be brick. J. W. Powell's hotel on Government street is another handsome structure. It is a 3-storey frame building-, occupying 75 feet on Government street and running back along Deadwood street 115 feet. The hotel, when completed,Will be one of the best in the interior. Probably the handsomest building in the city from ati architectural standpoint is Rendell & Co.'s 3-story block at the corner of Copper and Greenwood streets. It has a 50-foot frontage, and runs back 110 feet along- Greenwood street. Lack of space precludes a detailed description of the many substantial business blocks and comfortable residences that have been erected during the year. They all bear strong testimony to the confidence their builders have in the future of the city. There appears to be no cessation in the building operations. Contractors state that new work is coming in every day. It is a very conservative statement indeed to state that during 1899 halt-a-million dollars will not represent the money expended on buildings in the city.

Rossland Board of Trade Ask that the District be Divided. The following memorial has been sent to Sir Wilfred Laurier by the Rossland Board of Trade:��� "Your petitioners, the Board of Trade of the City of Rossland, British Columbia, beg to draw your attention to the urgent need of an amendment to the Redistribution of Seats Bill, now before the House of Commons, providing for a separate member for the district of Kootenay, which ��� is situated' in the electoral district of Yale-Cariboo! " Your petitioners would point out in this connection that while the Province of British Columbia is represented in the Dominion House by six members, three of them represent constituencies on Vancouver Island, with a total white population about equal to that of the immense area embraced in Yale, Cariboo, and Kootenay, which has only one member. Your petitioners are not unmindful of the fact that after the next census a redistribution will take place which ihey doubt not will give Kootenay all the representation it is entitled to, but they submit respectfully that an electionnnder that bill is not likely to occur, for four or five years, and that lasting injury will be done to the mining industry of the Dominion if Kootenay is deprived of representation until ��� then.'. ,.'.������'' '".'--,'.��� " Your petitioners desire to point out why relief should be specially extended to Kootenay at this time, and why, in their opinion, the situation in Kootenay is without any thing approaching a parallel in the Dominion : Firstly���The present population of Kootenay, an unusually large proportion of which is adult males, exceeds , 25,000. Secondly���The principal industry of the district is mining, an industry which requires and will handsomely repay the fostering care of the ^federal government, and which is at present without a single representative in either House of Parliament. Thirdly���The district contributes to the revenue of the Dominion a higher per capita than any other section of Canada. Fourthly���The development of mining in Kootenay is attracting the attention of the whole world to the Dominion as it never has been before, resulting in an increase both in the number" of immigrants and in the amount of foreign capital seeking investment, and it is therefore fitting the district should have a voice in the Parliament of Canada. i Fifthly���The population, wealth and production are increasing so rapidly that it is absolutely certain the census of 1901 will show a population of at least 50,000 in Kootenay. Sixthly���The importance of the district is evidenced by the fact that hundreds of miles of new railroads are just completed, or under construction, to more fully open it up, while seven chartered banks have no less than 17 , branches in operation. Lastly���While exact returns of federal revenue collected in Kootenay cannot be obtained by your petitioners, they have xeason to believe that these returns must closely approximate, if they do not exceed, three-quarters of a million dollars a year, or about one- sixtieth of the whole revenues of the Dominion. " Your petitioners therefore feel that on representation of the facts, and making due allowance for the rapid development of the district, they are not asking too much in requesting you to cause an amendment to be made to the pending. Redistribution of Seats Bill providing for the election of a member of the House of Commons for that portion of the Yale-Cariboo electoral district comprised- within the limits of the district of Kootenay at the next general election." British Columbia Mines. British Columbia is gradually coming into its own as a mining country. The work done in the past two or three years has given the investing world a glimpse of its capabilities and attention is being- more and more turned upon it. The recently published report of the Minister of Mines has attracted widespread notice in the British market as well as here. The Saturday Review, for instance, after noting the way in which the Yukon placer mines for a while overshadowed the quartz mines of British Columbia, remarks that "those in a position to know, have long been aware that British Columbia: is probably destined to be one of the largest mineral producers of the world." The Saturday goes on to observe that " the most important event of the past year in British Columbia was undoubtedly the opening of the Crow's Nest branch of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, which, ,by bringing the coal of the Crow's Nest- district within easy distance of the Kootenay mining district, will exercise a most important influence on this years production of the various minerals. Hitherto coal for the mining districts of British Columbia has been brought from Vancouver, and the cost has therefore necessarily been prohibitive except in the case of the richestjpropositions. The report gives figures which show the enormous difference the Crow's Nest Pass Railway will make in the cost of mining and smelting. Coal from Vancouver costs at Nelson $10 per ton, $5.25 of which is due to the freight charges. Now ex7 cellent coal from Crow's Nest can be bought at Nelson for $5.75 per ton, the freight being only $2.26, whilst coke at Hie same place for smelting purposes can be bought for $9 per ton." Passing on to the output of the mines which will be aided by the new coal supply, the Saturday Review notes the satisfactory increases in all except the silver-lead ores, which have suffered from the low price of silver, and, touching on the great increase in copper production for 1898, 2,000,000 pounds more than in 1897, remarks that the American copper combination will have to take British Columbia's production into serious consideration in its calculations. The gold- increases are noted with great satisfaction, and in conclusion The Saturday observes that " we do not know any country which at the present time bffers to the speculative investor such excellent prospects of making large profits as British Columbia, provided always of course that care is taken to invest on 13- in such1 undertakings as are conducted by responsible and reputable people."���Globe.

Kettle River Valley Railway. The following letter explains itself. It is addressed to the editor of the Toronto Globe, and appears in a recent issue of that journal: Some time ago the Globe published a statement that the withdrawl of the Corbin application was " the result of an understanding entered into between the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railway companies and Messrs. Hill, arid D. C. Corbin. in whose interest the measure of last Year was introduced." This is incorrect,.so far as Mr. Corbin is concerned. The bill of last year was applied for by Mr. Corbin alone. Mr. Hill has not; nor had any other person or corporation, except the company controlled by Mr. Corbin, any interest whatever in the matter. The application which was- before the House during the present session was made on behalf of Mr. Corbin individually. No other person or company was in any way concerned in the proposition. The only reason for the withdrawal of the bill this year is that Mr. Corbin was advised from Ottawa that owing to the influence of the C. P. R. it would not pass the Railway committee. The simple fact is that without the support of the Government it is impossible to successfully.oppose the Canadian Pacific in the House. As we were unable to obtain that aid, and, moreover, had reason to believe that certain members of the administration would actively oppose the bill, Mr. Corbin, much against his will, was obliged to retire from the field, or submit to a certain and overwhelming defeat. Thus for the secorld time his pioposition to build at his own expense a competing railway in the Boundary district has been refused. It is not likely that the attempt will again be made either by Mr. Corbin or by any other independent person or corporation for many years to come. It may, therefore.be taken that the policy of Parliament is to permit the Canadian Pacific to exclusively control the transportation business'in one of the richest mining districts in America. E. V.

Ottawa, June 7���Sir Hibbert Tupper today reviewed the case of Judge Spinks of British Columbia, declaring that the judge was persecuted for political reasons, and there was never any shadow of truth for the way he had been treated. . He said that Messrs. Morrison and Bostock were largely to blame in the matter. In conclusion he moved a resolution that the action of the government therein was ill considered and injurious to the position, usefulness, and influence of the judiciary, and involved a scandalous waste of public money. Solicitor-General Fitzpatrick said that the investigation had vindicated Judge Spinks and restored public confidence in him, and therefore the money was well spent. Messrs. Morrison and Bostock disclaimed all responsibility for formulating complaints against Judge Spinks, and said they had only done their duty in asking an investigation. There were glad the judge had been fully vindicated. The resolution was voted down. Goupil & Holden, signwriters, painters, paperhangers, etc., etc., etc. CORYELL'S MAP, Price $1.25.

J. Edwards. Leckie and Harry Need- ham returned on Saturday from Rossland via the Dewdney trail. ; They report the trail in excellent condition. Upon their arrival a mysterious air and leather riding breeches gave them a picturesque appearance. It is rumored that the riding habits were secured from innocent cowboys who were driving cattle on the Dewdney trail and who turned up missing and the mysterious air was occasioned by the trim little mare which the two horsemen brought with them from Rossland and secluded on Grand Prairie. The little mare is none other than Leckie's famous racer "55." He expected to keep the matter quiet and carry the prizes during the celebration.

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. |
