GREENWOOD CITY, B.G, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1897. 47 No. 21, ���r-wmammnoM iii>jii|f1My^iim ��� iiiwwwh DEVELOPMENT WORK. VERYONE who is interested in Boundary Creek district is also interested in the develop- s ment of its vast mineral resources. The future of the district is entirely dependent' upon its hidden wealth, consequently the individual as well as the community should put forth every effort to place the mines in such a position that they will attract the attention of capital necessary to development upon a large scale. .Those., who appreciate the necessity for securing the introduction of a large amount of capital into the district must' be impressed with the force of Mr. Hall's remarks in last week's , Times, that " this is the best mining district of all, with the poorest work." When this remark is taken with another made by an experienced representative of capital,���that there were more purchasers for developed properties than there are properties developed,���:the course to be pursued must be clear to those owning claims in the district. Capitalists have been taught some very salutary lessons by the experience of the past few years in mining, and conse- . quently they do not invest to-day in surface showings ; they must have something more tangible upon which to base the ivorth of the property in which they are asked to invest their money. It is true that several of those owning claims have not the means to carry out development work, but it is equally true that more development work might be done. Take the B.C. mine in Summit camp for instance : It was located last spring, and a few hundred dollars spent in development work exposed a large body of rich ore. No sooner was this known than several representatives of capital were at the mine negotiating with Messrs. Keough & Sons for its purchase. We are confident that there are in Boundary Creek a score of claims just as rich and just as extensive as the B.C. which, by the expenditure of a little capital and labor, could be made sufficiently attractive to tempt trie capitalist to invest his money. Boundary Creek district needs development work as well as a railway. *t&. ��le- ��"���'��. ���5ji�� i^ ?a> A GHEEKY REQUEST. Each of the merchants of Greenwood was ��� last week the recipient of the following communication from the auditor of the Spokane Falls & Northern railway : " Mr. E- D. Morrison has informed us that he holds an order from you covering delivery of bonded and other freight at Marcus consigned to you. Owing to the fact that- this company is held responsible for freight in bond until same is delivered beyond the boundary line, we have arranged with Messrs. Mitchell Bros, to haul all bonded freight destined to Kettle river points handled by our line. Will you kindly, cancel order to Mr. Morrison as far as it applies to bonded freight, and route all bonded freight via Marcus and Mitchell Bros.' wagon line. Freight not in bond we will be glad ,to deliver to any party whom you may designate.-^G. ,H. Martin, Auditor." Fortunately the merchants of Greenwood are not as soulless as a railway corporation, and consequently they have promptly refused to turn traitor to one who, winter and summer, gave satisfaction in the handling,.of their goods. Mr. E- D. Morrison has been hauling freight into this district for years and has always given a prompt and efficient service ; the merchants have no intention of turning him aside at the dictation of the auditor of the Spokane Falls & Northern railway. In fact if Mr. Corbin fully appreciated the service which Mr. Morrison has rendered his railway he would do everything in his power to throw business his way. ;Mr. Morrison has done more than any other man to secure for the S. F. & N. nearly all the trade of Kettle River and Boundary Creek points. When the freight via the Penticton route was subject to vexatious delays, Mr. Morrison succeeded in delivering goods from Marcus promptly and in good order; consequently the merchants routed their goods by that line.' Does Mr. Corbin think that they are now going to tell Mr. Morrison that the Mitchell Bros, will carry their freight ? That is practically what the auditor's letter means, for fully 76 per cent, of the freight coming in by way of Marcus is in bond. Mr. Morrison has been carrying bonded goods for years and as far as our knowledge goes there never has been any complaint and we humbly submit that it is time enough for the railway compan}7* to speak of responsibility when the service which Mr. Morrison gives proves unsatisfactory. It is unnecessary to discuss at the present time whether Mitchell Bros, give equally good service but the merchants of Greenwood will never allow a railway company to force them to give the carrying of their freight to Mitchell Bros, or any one else. Although we cannot boast that there are several railways at the present time seeking Boundary Creek trade; still we are not entirely at the mercy of the Spokane Falls & Northern railway and until its officials understand that they cannot dictate to the merchants -of Greenwood goods will be routed by another line. We hope that the merchants of Boundary Creek will not retreat from the position they have taken. If the Spokane Falls & Northern railway succeed in driving, all freighters off the route excepting Mitchell Bros, the question of securing the prompt delivery of freight would be a serious one. If the Mitchell Bros, have no opposition they would haul freight when and how they please. If Mr. Corbin is wise he will do nothing to antagonize his patrons in Kettle River and Boundary Creek points. Heretofore his line has given satisfaction but he cannot expect to retain the trade by a system of coercion. iV*- ^V*- ���">���'*��� sji* ^V "sTiff INCORPORATION. Surely the time has arrived when those who signed the petition asking for the incorporation of Greenwood should demand an answer from the provincial government. While there is plenty of evidence that the government has no love for Greenwood, its residents ought'to be. entitled.to greater consideration than contemptuous silence. It is nearly three months since a petition containing* the signatures of residents owning ������more than one-half the value of the land within the proposed limits was forwarded to the provincial government. The petition was drawn up in everyway in accordance with the Act to accelerate the incorporation of Towns and Cities, and this having been done the lieutenant-governor in council should treated the petitioners with respect. The Act says that when several conditions mentioned have been fulfilled it shall be further lawful for the lieutenant- governor in council by letters patent under the public seal to incorporate into a city or town municiputity any locality in the province. Whether incorporation would be a good thing for Greenwood need not be discussed here, but the people petitioned for incorporation and they are entitled to an answer, favorable or otherwise. If the delay is occasioned by the absence of several ministers from the capital making it impossible to secure a meeting- of the cabinet, the government should have the courage to say so. The question of incorporation should at once be decided, either one way or the other. , i. 0 -<��� ''I m m :*���-��-.* i .- ��� ^-vr- :��� !������������.��������� ��� ��� . - �����, TI* 1 T H E BOO NDARY G RE EK TIME S -.'��� A MISSIONARY MEETING. Rev. Dr. Robertson has the happy knack of making even a missionary lecture decidedly interesting and it was for this reason that air who attended "Wednesday evening's meeting went away satisfied that the cause which he espoused was a good one and that there were very many ..funny incidents associated with the life of a Superintehd- ent of Missions. ,,'��������� In opening his address Dr. Robertson humorously referred to the fact that two years ago he passed through Greenwood and never knew it because there were no houses on the townsite. He was surprised to see such a flourishing town and reinretted that the feuds of railwaj^ charter seekers had frustrated the efforts of the government to give railway connection to, this district. He did not want to discuss politics but he would advise the people to .tell those who were quarreling- among themselves to stand aside and not act as a barrier to the development of the, country. He hoped that, they would . soon secure railway connection.with the coal fields so that the great bodies of ore of which Greenwood is the centre could be smelted at home. He advised the people against a boom ; he ,had been through booms; in Manitoba and they injured a town. If the people would be patient they were sure to meet with success. He was surprised to see so many women in anew mining camp and thought this was a very good sign. But his audience would be anxious to know what brought him out here. He could assure them at the outset that he did not intend to invest in mining property. He knew nothing ���.about' mines and- had no money for mining speculations. He came to find out who were here and what he could do for their moral and .spiritual welfare. A number of the children of the church had come westward and the church considered that it was its duty to follow them up. The}' were patriots, too, for the work of the church had advanced the interests of the country, had brought safety to life and property. ���'Rig-hteousness exalted nations but sin is a disgrace to any people." The east was rightly helping* in the work, for if it is worth while to send missionaries to foreign lands, and it is worth while, it is surelj'* worth while to attempt to prevent our people from sliding into indifference. Dr. Robertson then gave an interesting-account of his trip to England and Scotland in the interests of home missions. He told of the eagerness displayed to assist the work. He closed by informing* the people of Greenwood that the church asked them for no money; she was willing- and anxious to assist them. All that was asked. of. them was that they help themselves, encourage their pastor and when they -grew to be strong, then they could assist in giving- the gospel to others less fortunatel}*- situated. Dr. Robertson addressed another meeting* at Midway on Thursdaynight and after the meeting he drove from there to Grand Forks, :'*. distance of 30 'miles'to catch the three o'clock morning- stage for Bossburg. The Le Roi Company have finally decided to locate their smelter at North- port and Mr. Corbin's railway will therefore get the handling of their ores. ^ -ii1 ��� ���-- ��� Q2, ��� ^ri^" -- - S^~~ r. ���jg^��� T'fi.

Schilling's teas and baking- powders find a ready sale in the district as they are of the best quality, ,:Mr.; Smith, of the firm of Smith & McRae, stationers, leaves to-day to visit his old home in North Dakota, He expects to be away about six weeks and Mrs. Smith and family will probably return with him to take up their residence in Greenwood. The T. T. D. C. Y. K. Club met on Wednesday afternoon with Miss Mag*- gie Stooke at the residence of Mrs. W. J. Harber. A very pleasant afternoon was spent ; refreshments were served. The membership of the club is increasing*. The next meeting will be held at the residence of Mrs. Comstock. In all probability a new wagon road will be built this summer up Bhplt creek,to Summit camp. There is here a low pass and the'building of a wagon road should not prove a difficult task. Several properties in Summit camp are being developed and owners are anxious to secure better means of communication with Greenwood. J. Stunden and R. R. Gilpin, of H. M. Customs paid Greenwood a visit on Thursday. Mr. Stunden is an officer of the secret service who visited Greenwood about three weeks ago. Since then he has been through the Kootenay district. On Friday Mr. Gilpin returned to Grand Forks and Mr. Stunden went over to visit Mr. Kruger the officer at Osoyoos. The g-ood housewives of Greenwood who have been using the O. K. flour have declared it to be " O.K." This flour is the product of" the Okanagan Flour Mills Co. (Ltd.), of Armstrong, B.C., an institution which has deservedly met with success since its organization some two years ago. The company's trade in the district is necessarily hampered by freight rates, but the quality of the flour is gradually increasing the use of it in this district. Consumers will secure good flour,��� cheaply if they can, but they are determined to secure good flour. MINING NOTES. Julius Brunt of Spokane is doing the assessment work on the Fcho and Iron King on Pass creek. A 35-foot open cut has been completed on the Hillside claim, on Pass creek. High assays have beensecured from the ore. Mr. G. 2E<1 Shaw, C.K.,��has almost' completed the work of surveying the 16 claims belonging ,; to the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling Company. The reports from Meyer's Creek are very encouraging. Mr. Harrison; of Greenwood and his partner are working one of the most '������promising properties in the camp. A large force of men have been put : to work on the Last,; Chance1 mine, in Skylark.camp. The development work has demonstrated that the Skyliark is a Very valuable property. The work of getting* the Okanagan ;, mine, near Penticton, ready for shipping is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The necessary buildings are being erected and other improvements are well tinder way. The owners expect to ship two car-loads to F^yerett about the middle of August. All rumors which appear in the Spokesman-Review regarding people leaving Boundary Creek for Eureka camp and that the excitement there is depopulating- Nelson, Greenwood and Grand Forks are as far as Greenwood is concerned without; foundation. In fact, the Eureka excitement has resulted in attracting people to Boundary Greek district. A great many of those who are. leaving Eureka, come up north. Mr. C. J. Lundy of Midway passed through Greenwood yesterday on his way to Greenwood camp where he has some promising claims which he intends developing*. Mr. Lundy has just returned from a trip from: Eureka camp and his opinions of that district are in consonance with those of others who have paid Eureka a visit. The Republic arid Lone Pine are likely to prove valuable mines but Eureka is in his opinion no district for a poor man. Freight From the C. P. R. J. W. Bassett who runs a freight line in connection with the C.P. R., from Penticton interviewed business men of Greenwood yesterday with a view to securing more freight in by the C. P. R , and his line. Mr. Bassett stated that he was prepared to meet the rate of $1.25 per hundred fixed by the Mitchell Bros., from Marcus and that he was authorized by the C. P. R. to state that the company were prepared to meet any cut in rates on the Northern Pacific and S. F.������'& N. R. R. Mr. Bassett also stated that he had sufficient teams on the route to guarantee a prompt and efficient service. He and four others are going to build a steamer on Okanagan lake capable of carrying- freight to Okanagan Falls a distance of about 12 miles from Penticton. The freight can be transshipped direct from the Aberdeen to the new steamer and taken down to the Falls. A SPECIAL SESSION. " The report is current that it is the intention of Hon. Premier Turner to call an immediate session of the Provincial legislature to take into consideration ways and means for reaching the Yukon" gold fields by way of the Stickeen river, or some other stream found to be navigable. The territory in this Province to the north of the Stickeen, which by the Washington treaty of 1871 is free alike to the to be gained- securing United States and British, or Canadian bottoms, extends to a distance of close upon 150 miles, and as yet is comparatively an unexplored region, practically in its virgin state. The intelligence concern the Legislature could not be confirmed to-ckiy in consequence of the wires being down between the mainland,and Victoria. We hope, however, that the report is true. If so the action of the government will receive the endorsation of a vast majority of the people of this Province.��� Vancouver World.!'' It was also rumored in this district that a special session was to be called but the object was to discuss ways and means to secure a railway in Boundary Creek district. While the 'advantage by the coast cities from direct communication with the Yukon district will no doubt be considerable we are stronglv of the- opinion that it will be equalty important from a provincial standpoint to secure railwa3r connection with this district. The coast people and the government should not lose their heads over the Clondyke craze. If a special session of the leg-islature is to be called Boundary Creek district should not be sidetracked for the Clondyke. The people of the coast cannot believe that, the rich placer dig-gings of Yukon are going to be a permanent affair. In all probability Clondyke placer diggings- will be a thing of the past within two years. But here it is different. There are properties that cannot be worked out in years which will give employment to a large number of men and will thereby add to the wealth and population of the province. Connection with Clondyke must not be secured at the expense of districts- in our own province. ���Formerly of Moncton, N.B.��� GREENWOOD CITY, B.C. .

As was stated in the Times a few weeks ago Mr. Mack's half interest in the Winnipeg* mine was purchased by Messrs. Beecher and Honey of North Dakota. Mr. Mcintosh the owner of the remaining* half interest was to receive so , much cash and so many . shares in a company org-anized for the purpose of acquiring* and developing the Winnipeg*. The last issue of the B. C. Gazette contains a notice of incorporation of this company. The title of th ecompany is the "'Winnipeg* Mining* and Smelting* Company X,td." It is incorporated under the Companies' Act 1897 with a capital of $1,000,000 divided into one million shares of one dollar each. The registered office of the company will be situated'in Yale District. In addition to purchasing* the Winnipeg*, the company: includes among-its objects the purchase of any other mineral claims; to carry on any metallurgical operations; to construct railways, tramways, crushing* works, furnaces ; in fact to undertake any or every known industry that relates to mining*. The names of the incorporators are not mentioned in the certificate of incorporation. Eureka Camp. D. Hicks of the Cosmopolitan restaurant returned on Saturday from a week's trip to Eureka. He is strongly of the opinion that Boundary Creek ��district still-offers greater inducement than this new camp and that there is no g*ood reason for the rush into the district. Others are evidently of the same opinion for over twenty men rode out with Mr. -Hicks when he left there. There are about 20 men oh the pay roll of the camp and the balance are purely a floating* population. In the town of Eureka all the inhabitants are squatters as the}r cannot purchase land in the reservation. There is one hotel without a license. No liquor can be sold on the reservation. There are also two or three restaurants and three barber shops but all appear to be doing* but little business. The 20 stamp mill at the Tinhorn mine in Fairview camp is being-erected as rapidry as possible. Nearly all the material is now on the ground. Messrs. Dier and Davidson are working several other properties in addition to the Tinhorn and their pay roll is a large one. SPORTING GOODS.

A meeting of Liberals was held in the schoolhouse on Monday evening for the purpose of organizing a liberal association. , C. Scott Galloway < was voted to the chair and D. Ross appointed secretary. Brief addresses' were made by several of those present, pointing out the necessity for such an organization. As it- was at first intended that the meeting should be held on Monday, Aug*ust 2, instead' of Monday, July 26, but through some misunderstanding the notice of meeting contained the latter date, it was decided that no steps be taken towards Organization until, such time as liberals from all over the district would have an opportunity of attending the meeting, so as to make the association as representative as possible. Fruit Inspection. T. G. Earl of Lytton, President of the Provincial Fruit Growers' Association and member of the Horticultural Board, visited Greenwood and other Boundary Creek points this week. Mr. Earl is traveling through the southern portions of the province representing the Horicultural board, his object being as far as possible to prevent the importation of diseased fruit into the province. He appointed the customs officers at Kootenay fruit inspectors and they have the necessary authority to examine all fruit going in from the American side. Mr. Earl also appointed Mr. Sutherland, the officer at Mid- wajr, as fruit inspector, to look after the'large amount of fruit coming in from the Big Bend country. Mr. Earl went down as far as Osoyoos and will return here by the way of Penticton,; In order to give inspectors of fruit as little inconvenience as possible ��� those bringing in fruit from the other side should bear in mind tha��t under the Horicultural Board act all importers of fruit must give notice to inspectors upon the arrival of any and all shipments of fruit. If found to be free, from insect pests and fungous disease a clean certificate will be issued, but if found diseased it must be destroyed or reshippedto a point without the province. Any one not conforming with the regulations is liable to a penalty not exceeding $50. The Black Diamond. Messrs. Olsen & Phelan of the White Front Store have purchased a quarter interest in the Black Diamond mine from Mr. Wenrick. The Black Diamond is situated on the West Fork of Kettle river and is considered to be one of the most valuable of the many promising properties in the district in which it is located. There is a large body of rich ore on the surface. Some very high assays having- been secured. Messrs. Wood, McMann and Sadler own the remaining half interest. Some very rich ore has been struck on the Last Chance mine in Skylark camp where several men are at work. All the water has been pumped out of the shaft and the men are working at a depth of over 100 feet. Mr. Rosen- haupt of Spokane who has charge of the work is well pleased with the quality and quantity of the ore in the shaft. ' Mr. Henry White arrived from White's camp on Tuesday and went up to the old Ironsides where he has several men at work on a contract.

We are strongly of the opinion that the editor of the Rossland Miner has fallen into error in replying* to ' 'British Workman" who asks: "How much of British Columbia Mr. Heinze lays claim to ; how much water and how much land? In replying to these pertinent queries the Rossland Miner ' ������������state's:-' ' _��� '','������ ������������' ;u .. "Just how much of the^pfovince M!r. , ^Heinze claims we do not know, but British Workman is'mistaken in thinking he has not earned any part of his land grant. When the Columbia & 'Western Land Grant. act was passed the government very considerately provided that the already completed narrowg-auge line from Trail to Rossland should be the first section of the road and should get the same land grant as any other section, except section 2 which has no land grant attached, and which, as far as we know^ Mr. Heinze has no intention of building. The line from- Trail to Robson constitutes the third section of the Columbia & Western and on its completion Mr. Heinze will earn another large grant of land." We fail to see how Mr. Heinze will earn another land grant when the line from Trail to Robson is completed unless L/ieutenant-governor Dewdney and his cabinet overrides the Columbia & Western Railway Co's. act of incorporation and the act granting* the company the land subsidy. According to the latter act "when section 3 of the railway is completed the land under section 3 shall be granted to the company;" but section 3 includes something more extensive than the line from Trail to Robson. The schedule of the Columbia & Western Railway Co's act states that "the third section shall consist of that portion of the line extending from such point at or near the town of Rossland to a point at or near Christina lake. The Miner is scarcely fair to the people of Boundary Creek by showing such haste in giving Mr. Heinze another land grant. We are anxious to see Mr. Heinze's railway a little nearer Greenwood before he secures a second large grant. A VISITOR FROM DENVER. No better criterion of the wealth of Boundary Creek district can be found than the fact that experienced representatives of capital will spend weeks in the district seeking to secure properties. Mr. William Tuttle of Denver, Colorado, has been in Boundary Creek district for nearly a month and intends I remaining* _ here for some time. Mr. Tuttle represents a strong syndicate anxious to secure good mining proper- .ties. '..'���'���': : ;; ������- " "You have a wonderful district" said Mr. Tuttle to a Times representative. " There is no good reason why Boundary Creek should not become in the near future a great producing* camp. But after all it is rather a discouraging* district to attempt to do business in. ID very owner of a prospect appears to think he owns a mine and asks a correspondingly high price. We went through the same experience in Colorado but it did not take the claim holders long to discover that they were hurting themselves and the district. Then they were quite willing* to give a stringent working- bond by which the moneyed men paid the, prospector a small consideration for the trouble of locating- the claim and carried on continuous work for perhaps a period of two years. At the end of that time the claim very likely turned out to be a paying mine. The original owner then received a good figure for the property. If Boundary Creek is g*oing to be developed claim owners must be more reasonable. The company which I represent are quite willing to spend money in developing properties where the surf ace showings war rant such a care to buy course but they do not a pig in a poke!. "If claim owners are willing to take reasonable working bonds on the property and assume some risk themselves moneyed men will be quite willing* to invest their money here as no district offers greater inducements. ?? REV. DR: ROBERTSON. Rev. Dr. Robertson, superintendent of the Presbyterian missions, visited Greenwood this week and addressed a representative audience on Wednesday evening. Dr. Robertson is one of the best known men in the northwest and British Columbia. Since his appointment as superintendent of missions some sixteen years ago he has visited almost every farm house in the northwest and every mining*, camp in British Columbia. He has camped with the hardy prospector, delighting him with his fund of Humorous stories of frontier life, each containing- a lesson. He has held services in hotels, in the open air, in miners' cabins; in fact any place where he could g*et two or three to listen to him. The "boys", .all respect him, too, and like to see his tall form and g*enial countenance. Dr. Robertson . visited Boundary Creek two years ago and was naturally astonished to find a -substantial town like Greenwood instead of a log cabin which was the only building on the townsite.

G. R. Naden and I. H. Hallett have ..recently purchased the Fourth of July mineral claim. J. Ord has secured water from the Midway irrigation ditch for the purpose of carrying on placer mining along Boundary creek. C. H. Brown has completed the assessment work on the Combination, in Smith's-camp. This property is likely to prove a valuable one. Water is coming in very rapidly in the winze which is being sunk from the floor of the 245-foot tunnel in the Mother Eode. The winze is now -down about 55 feet. Mr. R. Wood has been at work on the Electric claim in Eong Lake camp. Some very rich ore has been taken , from the property. The Electric is near the Roderick Dhu mine. The Stemwinder claim in Fairview camp is under option to a strong company and a stamp mill will soon be erected on it. The Stemwinder was one of the first claims located in the camp. The Smuggler Company will soon have the new boiler and engine in place at the Strathyre mill. After the mill begins running the company expects to declare a dividend as they have a large quantity of rich ore ready to be crushed. J. F. Hemenway, superintendent of the Knob Hill mine in Greenwood camp, in a letter to his principals in Spokane speaks enthusiastically of the property. He is confident that development work will give it a leading place among the many valuable mines in Greenwood camp. The work already done has confirmed him in the belief that there is a large body of rich ore on the Knob Hill. Mr. Young Romancing. W. H. Young who visited Greenwood last week in order to make the final payment on the $15,000 bond on the Monarch claim, Greenwood camp, was reported in the Spokane Chronicle as saying regarding Boundary Creek that the " old time prospectors and mining men up north have caught the Klondike fever and want to join the rush for the arctic regions. Where a short time ago some of these prospectors holding claims up around Boundary wanted $15,000 fpr their property, they are now anxious and willing to engage their services for $50 per month and expenses to any one who will take ���them into the Klondike country, and will sell their claims for a song." We shall be greatly indebted to Mr. Young if he will tell us what $15,000 properties in Boundary Creek can be purchased for a song. There are at present several capitalists in the district anxious to get properties but they complain that they cannot get $15,000 properties for $15,000. School Meeting. The board of school trustees held a meeting in Mr. Hallett's office on Monday evening. The question of secur- , ing a school site and erecting a suitable buildingk was discussed. Mr. ������ Wood the owner of the building which up to the holidays was used as a school room was present, and the board decided to rent the building from him until such time as a suitable site could be secured and a building erected. The Kamloops Standard, a weekly paper published in the interests of the Conservatives and the provincial government, has made its appearance. It is published at Kamloops and the first issue is a very creditable one. Truly this is an age for newspapers, no less than six having been started in the province during the past month. They all appear to live, for the provincial journalistic bone-yard has not been enlarged recently.

During the recent session of the provincial legislature a meeting of the opponents of the government was held in Victoria. Three members of the opposition in the legislature were appointed an executive committee for the party. They met in Vancouver recently- and drafted the following platform on which the opposition will appeal to the electorate! 1. The adjustment of the representation of the province on a general principle by which an equitable sj'stem will be established, districts thinly settled and remote from the populous' centres receiving larger proportionate representation than those districts with a greater population' and nearer the large cities, while in turn those dis-. tricts, will have a proportionately larger representation than the cities of the Province. 2. Reorganization of the civil service with a view to greater efficiency and economy in administration. " 3. L/iberal expenditure on necessary public works tinder such rigid supervision as will secure commensurate'results... .... '.'.",'-' ^-:- 'K 4. Discouragement of Oriental immigration. , , 5. The amendment of the L,and Act so that coal will be reserved along with other minerals. Timber to be disposed of by open competition and in such quantities as the trade demands. Agricultural lands to be reserved for actual settlers. 6. Repeal of the tax commonly known as the Mortg-age Tax. 7. Amendment of the law in regard to Free Miners' Tvicenses, so that a man shall not be compelled to take out a Free Miner's License before he can work in a mine for wages. 8. Provincial aid to railways in the past having resulted unsatisfactorily, both as regards economy in -construction and moderation in transportation charges, any future aid to railway's to be based on efficient Provincial control both of the raising and expenditure of the capital and of the rates of transportation. ;������" The committee believes that it will have the support of a very large majority of the Provincial voters whether they are supporters of the opposition or the Government, in its view that it would be entirely detrimental to the interests of the whole province at the present time to introduce Dominion political issues into the discussion of provincial affairs.

The boom will come not next year nor the year following but will be here in a very short time. Since the disappointing railway news, the people of Greenwood have pursued the even tenor of their way. Few were discouraged, none gave up the fight, and all were confident that the almost inexhaustible wealth of the district would bring the town to the front. They were sure that any setback which the district might have received through the greed of unscrupulous railway subsidy seekers would be only temporary and that the experienced mining man backed up by capital -would make the very best purchasers for themselves irrespective of action of railwa3r charter seekers. That the residents of Greenwood were wise in looking at the matter philosophically will soon be established beyond a. doubt. We are not romancing-, we are simply writing of something that has come to our knowledge and which will soon be made public. Some of the strongest financial companies who have turned their attention to mining have had their representatives working- quietry in the district endeavoring* to secure good properties and they are going to succeed. Deals have been closed, deals are being negoti a ted which will not only mean that owners of mining properties will be enriched but will result in the expenditure of large sums of mdiiey in Boundary Creek district. One deal encourages another and if property owners will be reasonable Greenwood and the'contiguous, mining camps will have as big a boom as Klondike and a healthier boom ^because the district offers less ��� hardship, and surer returns to capitalists arid miners. If money is expended in developing properties= and it will be expended, railway promoters instead of strug*- gling- for a subsidy will struggle to get their lines into the district in" order to capture the larg-e and profitable trade. Alfred Woodhouse M. E.. and Mr. E, M. E. Munns who ..���negotiated the Anaconda deal visited Greenwood this week for the purpose of paying- Mr.Biel- eiiberg- $1,000 on the bond and signing the necessary papers. Everything was satisfactory arranged and this valuable property is now in the hands of an English sj^ndicate who . will actively carry on the work,of development, .^Messrs. Woodhouse and Munns returned to Rossland on Friday but they will come to Greenwood again next week and will then put 15 or 20 miners to work on the Anaconda group. As soon as the necessary buildings for housing- the men are erected, a much ., larg-er force will be employed. As the company have only three months in which to satisfy themselves as to the value of the Anaconda group, everA- advantag-e will be taken of the short time at their disposal and consequently there will be a large amount of money expended in wag-es, material and provisions in a short time. had large experience in the field, the representative of the Mines Selection Company of London, England, has I secured a working bond on the property through Mr. G. H. Collins, the manager of the Brandon & Golden Crown Co. As soon as the necessary papers were signed Mr. McFywen at once started men at work. There are now six men at work and the force will be rapidly increased. The bond is for a sufficient^ length of time to thoroughly develop the property. , The B.C. claim has a wonderful showing and experienced mining men hold that it is the finest prospect in the whole district. The ore is chalcopyrite -.', and bbrnite, runs very high in copper and fairly high in gold and silver. There is a lead over 25 feet wide in a contact vein of lime and porphyry. Mr. McEwen has spent considerable time in the Slocan district where he secured some property for his company. That heis fully impressed with the iiiineral richness of this district is best evidenced by the fact ' that he has secured property for his company. There are other large deals being- negotiated with good prospects of being closed at an early date.' Every working- bond is a step towards the development of the district. ROYALTY ON GOLD. - Those who rush to the Cloiidyke, if they are fortunate enough /to strike good placer ground, will have to pay a heavy royalty to the Dominion government. A despatch from Ottawa states that at the close of the sitting of the Cabinet it was announced that the government had decided to .impose iT.a. royalty on all placer diggings on the Yukon, in addition to the $15 registration fee and $100 annual assessment. The royalty will be 10 per cent, each on claims with an output of $500 or less monthly, and 20 per cent, on every claim producing above that amount yearly. Besides this royalty it has been decided in regard to all future claims staked out on other streams that every alternate claim should be the property of the government, and should be reserved for public purposes and sold or worked by the government for the benefit of the revenue of the dominion.

Last week he was regaling Mayor Houston, of Nelson, with a powerful railway magnate's expression : " The people be d���d," but since then he appears to have disappeared from the public view. Whether he lost himself while attempting to reach Boundary Creek from Rossland, or whether he returned to Victoria in response to an'urgent telegram from the premier, cannot be determined. All we do know is that he has not yet made his appearance in Greenwood.

The annual meeting of the , Carib oo Mining, Milling & Smelting Company w;as held in Spokane recently and the old board of directors, consisting of Mr. M. Cowley, James Monaghan, George B. McAuley, Edward O'Shea and C. P. Chamberlain were re-elected. James Monaghan is president and George B. McAuley secretary. The statement of accounts shows that although $12,000 was lost in the stolen "bullion and legal expenses connected therewith and $6,000 was paid for new machinery, the mine has paid during the past year $78,836,84,���"'. there being also $21,297 in the treasury. General Manager Monaghan in his report states the following : ' 'During the 12 months ending this date there has been ,6742 tons df ore milled, producing 8035 ounces' of bullion and 170 tons concentrates; the ore milled has averaged $17.45 per ton. There has been 355 feet of drifting ore, . and 100 feet of raising on ore; 200 feet development���" cross-cutting; 175 feet development shafting; 50 feet development winze sinking, making 425 feet of developing. "The new machinery, consisting of a four-drill Rand compressor and a 50- horse power boiler, was started on the first of this month inking a shaft from the lower level, it is the intention to sink this Shaft 100 feet, which will make the new level 275 feet from the surface^ When tlie work on this level is sufficiently advanced, additional stamps, power, concentrators, and also a hoist, should be "added to the plant." The Cariboo of Camp McKinney has paid to date $156,964^76 in dividends. :"':"',, '.' -. '���' ��'.. .'"''.������ A Prominent Banker. Col. Ray, a prominent banker of Port Arthur, Ont., visited Greenwood this week, anxious to secure mining properties for the capitalists whom he represents. While this Cis Col. Ray's first visit to Boundary Creek he is no stranger to British Columbia, having spent some time in Kootenay last year and this : summer. He has purchased some yalu able properties in the Slocan district. Col. Ray expressed himself as being highly pleased with Boundary Creek as a mining district. It was a relief to him to travel through a comparatively open country - after climbing the precipitous mountains of Slocan.. He and Mr. McEwen left for Nelson on Friday but Col. Ray intends returning shortly when he will probably invest in Boundary Creek mines. KLONDIKE EXCITEMENT. The Klondike excitement continues and business men, prospectors, miners, and people of every class are leaving for the most northern territory in Canada. Many of those who intend going should give heed to the warning of Hon. Mr. Sifton the minister of the Interior. He has cautioned all people sroiiig* to the Yukon to see that thev arrange for provisions and obtain all necessary information about the country and the climate before going in there or there is sure to be starvation in Yukon if a large crowd should go unprovided. ; There are a number of men at work developing properties in Long Lake camp with very gratifying results. When the wagon road is completed it is probable that a number of the property owners will put more men to work as it will then be easier getting in supplies. 5$S *>$w: >j$* . wgb'. , ygk MP* ��*J^ <^fv ,'^V ,��������� w**v m** Wfkr ��� sJ^U t^W . ��4fi> W.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-07-31 |
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. |
