GREENWOOD CITY, B.G, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1897. 39 No, 13, TOPICS FOR THE WEEK. A FBJW more companies as energ-etic, as enterprising, and perhaps as lucky as the Boundary Mines Company and the transportation.difficulty would not for long confront the claim-owners of Boundary Creek. The Boundary Mines Company when- they bonded the No. 7 and the Mother Iyode had two fairly promising- prospects to exploit; ; by continuous hard work the two prospects have been proved to be, beyond question, two mines. We are informed on excellent authority that there is, now over $200,000 worth of pay-ore in sight in the Mother L/ode tunnel whereas the value of the ore in the workings of the No. 7 is estimated at $350,000. Figures like these are arg-uments which may be profitable advanced with a probability of producing- some impression on the minds of the cooi-headed, practical men who sit on the directorate boards of railroad corporations. '^4 tTP tW If it were not so aggravating it would be positively amusing the coolly autocratic manner with which, in a presumably free country, the Government of British Columbia disreg-ard the wishes and views of the people upon every conceivable occasion, important or otherwise. There must be something" of the Irishman's pig- about Mr. Turner's Administration : if you want it to g-o one way always drive it the other. Iyast week the Colonist (the Government ofg-an at the Capital) announced : �� " Complaint has been made in regard to the inconvenience which prospectors are put to in the Kettle river district ���in reg-ard to recording- their claims. In order to meet the reasonable views of the people of that locality it may be necessary to alter the boundaries of the recording districts. The subject is now under consideration by the Government, and the Colonist is in a position to say that what, is necessary in the premises will be done at the earliest possible day." ��� ' ��� ���.;",'���"���' ' " - , Certainly, the Government has ('been and gone and done it" with a veng-ance ; but it's a case of leaving- undone those thing-s which Oug-ht to have been done and doing- those thing's which ought not to have been done, if there ever was an ** instance,���vide Government " ad." in this issue. Several months ag-o it was intimated that owing- to the increasingly large number of claims being- located in the north and eastern portions of the Kettle River Mining Division the question of splitting- the district-in two; and creating- a Mining- Recorder's office at Grand Forks would be considered. This idea in itself was quite commendable, but because the people of Boundary Creek were afraid of the woful ignorance of the Government���and further because one or two members of the Executive Council had private interests at" stake���of the g-eographical and topographical features of the district, _it was thought advisable, merely to g-uard ag-ainst the possibility of mistake, to point out to the Hon. the Minister of Mines, just where in the interests of prospectors the boundary line between the two new divisions should be defined. This was done in the form of petitions forwarded from respectively the Boundary Creek Mining and Commercial Association and the Anaconda Commercial Club asking (according to an extract from a report of a meeting- of the Association published in The Times of February 6th) that " if a second division be made, the dividing- line be drawn from ' a point commencing- at the intersection of Fourth of July creek and the International Boundary line, thence direct north.' " That was what was wanted. But what we want from the Government and what we g-et are generally, particularly in this case, two ��� diametrically opposite things. Under the new reg-ulations ; Jill of Summit camp, the greater part of Greenwood and IV', *���'. Welling-ton and all of Pass,creek camps are included in the Gr nd Forks Mining- Division, which means that claim- owners and prospectors in these neighborhoods will have many more miles to travel for the purpose of recording- than heretofore, and practically no one is benefited if we except perhaps a few tradespeople, hotel-keepers and to a certain though extremely limited extent the proprietors of the townsite of Grand Forks, who may possibly attempt to make capital out of the g-overnmental blunder by advertising- the claim that the camps named were naturally tributary to the town. To many people the whole affair may appear very much like a storm in a tea-cup; it is not. It is a question of right* If the wishes of the people of the district with regard to the matter had not been so carefully and explicitly stated there mig-ht be reasonable grounds for supposing that the definitions of the boundaries had been decided by the department to coincide with equidistant points from the respective offices according- to the official maps of the district, under the circumstances, however, we can only believe that the Government has either deliberately treated the requisitions from Boundary Creek with contempt or that the Grand Forks townsite proprietors have special facilities for sucessful wire-pulling-. In fact, the Hon. Col. Baker, Provincial Secretary and Minister of Mines, has followed in the footsteps of his colleague the Hon. Georg-e B. Martin, Chief Commissioner of X^ands and Works; by listening to the voice oi: the speculator instead of carrying- out the expressed wishes of the general public. The disting-uished Chief Commissioner was pleased to take away some 67 acres of land from Ruckle Bros., of Kettle River district, and g-ive it to Mr. E. M. Johnson for the announced consideration of one dollar per acre. Government Agpents, Justices of the Peace, and other influential persons protested against the Chief Commissioner's course in taking- away land from the men who worked it for years and giving it to a speculator solely on the grounds that he had made a declaration that it was unfit for cultivation���-when a crop of oats was standing on it at the time. Mr. Johnson's influence, pecuniary or otherwise, was more powerful than the wishes of the general public or the clauses of the L<and Act; as a result the Ruckle Bros.' land is now being sold by H..M. Johnson as town lots. The military Minister of Mines is ambitions to at least equal the efforts of the Chief Commissioner in sacrificing- the general welfare in the interest of the private speculator, and consequently when unscrupulous townsite boomers undertake.to advertise the village of Grand Forks as a mining- centre the Hon. the Minister of Mines aids them in their deception by creating- a new mining- division of Grand Forks and including- therein several prominent camps adjacent to. Green wood and very much more conveniently situated, in the matter of recording, to Midway. If Col. Baker and the Grand Forks townsite boomers were willing to learn the lesson which experience has taug-ht, they would know that no wire-pulling on behalf of those who unfortunately have the ear of a spineless administration, or no regulations on the part of that government can make a mining town out of a hamlet that is surrounded by some beautiful farms, some rich agricultural lands, but is a longdistance from mines or minerals. The new regulations may be eminently satisfactory to the residents of Grand Forks and the politicians who are interested in the townsite but the Minister of Mines has purchased their hosannas very dearly since their accompaniment will be the execrations of those who have property in the camps that have no more connection with Grand Forks than has Alberni district with the recorder's office at Nelson. ��^wiLB^wa��A.raauuwM*iM'&flM^.mM w nw h ji i. ifu.��uuwiiurw imuii&vh^u^^ THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. TWO IMPORTANT DEALS. manager of and C. K<. manufac- Mr. J. P. Graves, the well-known Spokane mining- than, has just returned from Montreal^ where he succeeded in securing- the' organization of two strong companies who have taken over the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill properties in Greenwood camp. The Old Ironsides company was organized two years ago and considerable development work was done on the property. ,' Two shafts were sunk to the depth of 35 feet and 70 feet respective^, and buildings were also erected. The new company which has acquired- the Old Ironsides for $150,000, comprises men from Quebec and Spokane. The eastern capitalists have taken a portion of the stock to purchase the:property and the whole of the development treasury stock, while the Spokane men took the balance of the purchase stock. The officers include S. E. Rigg, of the Spokane Drug Co., president ; J. P. Graves vice-president; James Penfield, secretary ; R. H. Pope, IVLP., who is heavily interested in mining property in Kootenay; V. C. Boswell, a Quebec brewer; Win. Farwell, IDastern Township banks, Gault, a prominent woollen turer of Magog, Quebec. Mr. Graves also floated the Knob Hill property, adjoining the Old Ironsides, some of the same people being interested. The ��� officers . are r President, F. P. Buck, president of the Royal paper mills, Quebec ; vice-president, C. J. Chisholm, steel and iron merchant, Montreal ; secretaiy-treasurer, S. French., wholesale -wines, Sher- brpoke; directors���H. G. Bailey, Cook- shire ;.-.'��� R. H. Pope,y M.P., Compton ; R. E). Greenshields, barrister, and Jay P. Graves, Spokane. > Mr. Graves will have charge of the work of both the companies, which will be,commenced without delay. To a Spokesman-Review representative Mr. Graves stated that the development of the Knob Hill, will be done by/ hand, but in the near future the two companies will put in and operate a plant jointly. In the same interview Mr. Graves stated that he saw .a great deal of Mr. Heinze in Montreal, and from his statements he Was led to believe that the Columbia & Western railway will be built in the : very near future. Mr. Graves' companies are going to work, believing that they can ship out ore by Heinze's road next year. Government Work. Mr. Iv. V. Cuppage, the road inspector, visited Greenwood on Wednesday. Acting under instructions from: Mr. Norris, government agents he made arrangements with the Town- site Company for the purchase of lots for a jail and court-house which; .will be erected during the summer. Mr. Cuppage also announced that he would begin the work of constructing the road from Greenwood to I^orig lyake camp about June 20th. This road will be a continuation of Government street and will afford easy communication between Greenwood and the important mining camp at Ivong lake. It is the intention of the government to construct in the near future a road to connect the L/ong" lake road with Pass creek. . ' / . Messrs'.

The stag-e will be driven over the Greenwood camp road, the shortest and best-route-to: and-from Greenwoods Mr. Martin will use a comfortable rig- and fiast horses so that the trip can be made with as little in convenience as possible. Mr. Hamill's new building- on Copper street is now nearly completed and makes a handsome addition to the business blocks of the town. Almost before the carpenters started work Mr. Hamill was besieged by people desiring- to rent rooms on the premises. The ground floor- has been leased to M.- E}. Brissee, who has become established in Greenwood as a tobacconist and fancy goods dealer with' a very excel- lentstock. The 10 rooms on the upper storey of the building- have all been rented at remunerative fig-ures. :-.-"v MINING NOTES. .

"Doctor" Christie, who has been prospecting- for the past two weeks in the vicinity of Christina lake, succeeded in locating- some half-dozen claims of more or less promise/ �� I Messrs. J. Fisher and Dufour, who spent several weeks prospecting on the,. West Fork, located several claims, among- them being the Washing-ton Bell. There is an exceptionally fine showing on -the latter claim. It is an extension of the Paymaster, owned by -Mr. J. C. Haas. Mr. F. J. Me;ad, of Tacoma, and Mr. Venhoff, the German mining- expert, spent several days this week inspecting- mines on Pass creek. They report that the claims which are being- developed are showing larg-e bodies of rich looking- ore. Messrs. Mead and Venhoff will visit the mines in the vicinity of Fairview next week. lyouis Toms; representing- Vancouver capitalists,--returned to the coast on Tuesday last after ^spending- several weeks in visiting- the different mining- camps. Mr. Toms formed a g-ood opinion of the mining- possibilities of the district and he intends returning^ shortly for the purpose of purchasing for his principals. Messrs. Miller and Gordon, who returned last week from a. prospecting trip up the West Fork, brought back with them some very fine specimens of quartz from claims which they had located in that neighborhood. The West Fork is still attracting prospectors and it is reported that so keen were one party to arrive quickly at their destination that they travelled both day and night without rest. ; the town has similar environs, and the consequence is they are in the greatest possible danger from fire at all times. The first necessity to secure protection against fire is of course such appliances as are used in incorporated towns ; but neither a perfect system of waterworks nor an efficient fire department can maintain the highest factor of safety in this direction unless the people awaken to the fact that the present practice of leaving their houses surrounded by combustibles of various descriptions, is extremely dangerous and almost criminally careless. We are pleased to learn that two of the leading firms of the city are about to set a good example in the work of making >e town safer, by removing their powder magazines to a greater distance. Their present close proximity to the centre of the city is certainly a menace to its safety aiid that of its inhabitants. We do not wish to appear to be alarmists in this matter, for we fully appreciate the fact that Green-* wood is only following the careless example set by many other towns similarly situated, but we do appeal to the good sense of the people. They should not fail to appreciate the importance of doing something. The individual interests of the citizens as well as the general welfare demand that a change should immediately take place. If the brushwood and other rubbish is cleared from all lots,; if the volunteer fire ^department which is about to be organized take advantage of every opportunity to make themselves efficient, then if a conflagratioji does come the work of resisting its ravages can be carried out with greater advantage and should there be any:;sufferers: they will at least have thesatisfaction^blf" knowing that everything possible has been done to prevent such an unhoped-for catastrophe.

Everything was as dry as tinder, and under such conditions the danger from fire is imminent so long as a number of the inhabitants continue their present careless practice with respect to the safety of their premises. Many of the residents of Greenwood have from all appearances become imbued with the idea that there has been a special dispensation of Providence, granting them immunity from fires, and they are indulging in the very risky and very unprofitable pastime of tempting the fire fiend. When a residence was last week threatened with a forest fire, it was found that the woods and the building were connected with dry chips and brushwood.

SATURDAY* JUNE 5, 1897. LOCAL NOTES. Thos. Walsh; won a corner lot in Bossburg at a raffle last week. Messrs. Nicholson and James are diverting water from Rock creek for their mill-site at Camp McKinney. The irrigation ditch which is being built by the Midway Townsite Co., will be completed in about two weeks. Thos. McDonnell severely sprained his knee while put prospecting last week, and has since been confined to the house. The posters are put for the Jubilee celebration in Grand Forks. The celebration committee have arranged for a long and varied list of contests. Mrs. Mclyeod, wife of contractor Mc- Xveod, arrived in G-reenwood on Monday and will make her' home here. Mrs. Mclveod was until recently interested in the Montanian, a paper published at Choteau, Mont. The committee who have charge of the First of July celebration at Anaconda have almost perfected arrangements for the day's sports. They have sent a challenge to Grand Forks to send a team to meet the Anaconda baseball team on that date. Several other interesting events are down on the programme. Several large prizes will be offered. Mr. R. Smailes, secretary of the board of trustees, has been notified by the Superintendent of Kducation that under the provisions of the School Act the term of office of all three trustees who were elected at the first school meeting expires at the end of Jurie. A public meeting will be held in the school-room on the 26th inst., for the purpose of electing three trustees. The present trustees, Messrs. Wood, Galloway and Smailes, are eligible for reelection. Railway Matters. The Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern Railway Co. are making a strong effort to secure a Dominion subsidy to enable them to build their line. Dr. G. Iy. Milne, who has a large interest in the charter of the company, left for Ottar wa a few days ago and he is hopeful that he will be able to induce the Government to grant a subsidy this session. It is reported that an American syndicate which has a representative in this district at the present time, is quite ready to put up the necessary capital to construct the road should the Dominion aid be secured. Mr. Heinze j is also at Ottawa trying to induce the Dominion government to grant aid for his road. MINING NOTES. A- large quantity of supplies was taken to the Jewelvjmine this week. The owners of the Gray Eagle, in Greenwood camp, are completing their assessment work. , Mr. Coryell is surveying the Tamarack, in the same ''camp./ Since May 24th there have been but few prospectors in Greenwood excepting those who have come in from other districts. Nearly all the resident prospectors and miners are in the hills. " Mr. Hughes, of Nelson, arrived in Greenwood this week to do some work on his properties in Copper camp. Mr. Hughes was badly injured ��in a snow- slide near Sandoif last winter and spent several months in the hospital. He intends crown-granting two or three of his claims in Copper camp. George E. Magee, a large shareholder in the famous Golden Cache mine, spent the week visiting the mining camps in the vicinity of Green wood. He left for Camp McKinney yesterday. Mr. Magee lived for many years on Lulu Island and in Vancouver but makes his home at present in Alameda, California. REGISTER YOUR VOTES. Those who have not yet registered their names on the provincial voters' list are again reminded that they should lose no time in doing so. A redistribution bill will be introduced at the next session of the legislature, and a preponderance of Voters in this district will go far towards inducing the government to subdivide or grant an additional member. Provincial Mineralogist. Mr. W. A. Carlyle, the provincial mineralogist, spent last week visiting the mining camps in the vicinity of Vernon and; he will probably reach Greenwood early next week. Mr. Carlyle intends to thoroughly inspect all the different camps, in order to gather sufficient data to publish similar reports to those prepared by him regarding the mines of Kootenay and Alber- ni. These reports have been almost universally commended, and Boundary Creek district will undoubtedly be greatly benefitted by Mr. Carlyle's visit. Although the provincial mineralogist has been only a little over a year in the province, his work has convinced almost everyone that the government appointed the right man in the right place. Mr. W. G. McMynn, Mining Recorder at Midway, is seriously ill. S ITTINGS of. the bounty . Court of Yale will be holden as follows :. At Midway, . on Saturday, the 31st of July, 1897.

During his absence he succeeded in interesting a number of Oregon people in Boundary , Messrs. Cameron & McKenzie's new block on Copper street is nearing completion. The owners of the building intend using- it for a men's furnishings store. Their stock, which has been purchased in Toronto, will be here in about 30 days. The district affording the latest excitement in mining matters "is that- surrounding Canyon creek, a tributary of Kettle river which -joins the main stream about .30 miles' above Rock creek. Prospectors found there sur-- face cropping-s of very rich free-milling- ore. The development work on the Monitor, a claim in that district, however, disclosed the fact that the free- milling ore turned to base at 12 feet from the surface. The base ore is of g-ood quality and Canyon creek is likel3r to prove an important mining district. On Saturday afternoon considerable excitement was icaused by bush fires getting dang-efously near Mr. Phelan's residence on Government street. About fifty volunteer firemen were soon on the scene and they did effective work in keeping the fire checked. By the use of buckets and shovels the fire was kept from coming-; too close to the building, and it soori exhausted itself at the end of the woods. " The volunteers were captained by W. Nelson and their work showed that with a little more org-anizatipn and training- Greenwood can have one of the best volunteer fire departments in the province. Qfjteaf <&b��<xU <xnb (ttlintn^ QSrotoB, HlNANGIAL & InSURANC MINING MACHINERY. The Dominion government, finding that there would be a difficulty in interpreting the clause in the tariff regulation in the matter of mining machinery, with respect to machinery exclusively used for mining- purposes, has decided to place a duty of 25 per cent, on steam eng-ines, boilers, ore crushers, rock crushers, stamp mills, rock drills, air compressors, : cranes, derricks, coal cutters, pumps, windmills ; while machinery used exclusively for mining-, smelting, reducing- or refining- will be admitted free. The articles on the free list are so specified that the difficulty experienced under the old tariff of proving what mining machinery was not manufactured in Canada is thereby removed. A Public Meeting. A meeting will be held in the school- house this (Saturday) evening for the purpose of re-organizing- the volunteer fire department. A number of men who were members of fire departments in other cities have signified their willingness to join the volunteer department here and thus give the town the benefit of their experience and training. It is hoped that every person interested in the welfare of Greenwood will show his appreciation of any effort for better protection against fire by attending the meeting. A large attendance will show that the volunteer department will be supported by the majority of the residents. GEO.I ��� R. N ADEN, Manager. ; j H. HALLETT, V'.//",',',, NOTARY PUBLIC.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, MIN1MG NOTES. Mr. Hirsch, a provincial land surveyor from Nelson, is surveying- the Gold Drop, in (J-reenwood carnp. D. Carmody returned from Victoria on Thursday lasti "Mr. Garmody represents Chicago and Findlay, Ohio, capitalists, who formed themselves into a syndicate ior the purpose of acquiring property in Boundary Creek district, lie has already secured a bond on several properties. Mr. Keifer, manager of the Boundary Mines Co., is pushing- the work on the Mother JUode and Ho. 7 ciaims. On the latter claim a 40-foot snaft was sunk from above the break, with the result that the ore was again struck. Mr. Keifer is now assured, that tne ore body extends beyond tne claim. An order-in-council has been issued to the effect that in consequence of the late spring ciaim-holders have been unable to perform the annual assessment work required by the Act, and therefore'discretionary permission has been granted to gold commissioners to extend thentime for the completion of assessment work. The shaft on the L,ast Chance, in Smith's camp, is down over 80 feet. On the hanging- wall side, near the bottom of the shaftj native silver -was discovered. Some native silver was found in this mine last fall, but was lost as the shaft went down. The present discovery appears to be of" a more permanent character. Most encouraging-"reports have been received durini.-; the week from Kim- berley camp. A number of claim owners are doing assessment work with the result that large bodies of promising- looking- ore are being- uncovered. The Comet, owned by Messrs. McCurrach, Shearer and others, is showing up well. They have found some rich ore on their claim. Mr. J, C. Haas, J}.M., who is superintending the work on the Golconda, reports a very encourag-ing- discovery on the claim. In running- an open cut across the ledge on the surface, about three feet of sulphide ore was uncovered. An average sample of this ore from the surface was assayed and yielded $35.13 in gold and 96 cents in silver. The shaft on the Golconda is now down over 40 feet, and at 50 feet cross-cutting- will be commenced. The ore has again been struck in the shaft. DISTRICT NEWS. It is reported that Mr. Hawtrey, the provincial constable at Osoyoos, has resig-ned his position. Mr. O. Doman, a part proprietor of the Ritzville (Wash.) Times, passed through Greenwood this week on his way to Camp McKinney, where he owns several claims. The workmen at the Golconda were visited by a large cougar on Wednesday morning-. He came quite close to the tent in which the men were sleeping-. Before a gun could be secured the animal disappeared Jnto the woods. Mr. <G-reen is now engaged surveying- the Government townsite at Rock Creek into lots, A^private corporation owning land at Rock Creek also contemplate laying off their property for townsite purposes, and lots, it is expected, will shortly be put on the market by them at prices approximating- $50 for the best situations.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-06-05 |
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. |
