GREENWOOD, B.C., SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1898. 80 IN THE OAMPS. HE WFIvUNGTON CAMP properties are looking well and development is progressing- favorably on all the. claims being- worked. On the Athel- stan, Foreman Peterson is running- two shifts of three men each. A new shaft is being- sunk about 150 feet from the old one. The intention is to make this a working- shaft, and it is expected the lead will be tapped at a depth of between sixty and seventy feet. Ore has been run into at a depth often feet in the new shaft, giving- g-ood assay values, but it is the intention to continue sinking- until the lead tapped by drifting-from the old shaft is encountered. Previous work on this claim consisted of open cuts and a shaft 60 feet in depth. From the shaft a drift was run 50 feet, and from the drift sinking- was continued until the lead was tapped at a depth of fourteen feet from the drift. Assay values average $20 in gold to the ton. On the Winnipeg seven men are at present employed, five of of whom are sinking- and two are working- on an open cut about two hundred feet from the shaft. The lead has been tapped in the cut, the ore from which gives g-ood assay values, in fact, equal to any yet had from the claim. The shaft is now down over 100 feet and drifting- is being- done from the 90-foot level. The Golden Crown : Foreman Porter is working- six men in the tunnel of the Golden Crown and has not yet got through the ledge encountered about a weekago. The tunnel is in something- over 300 feet. Work was commenced this wee'k on the shaft, but no results will be known for some time to come. *v* *v* ^ "A'? 11$ ;: "��AC. IN GREENWOOD CAMP. The Snowshoe : On the Snowshoe Foreman Hanna has five men at work, running- two shifts. The shaf t ; is down about 90 feet, and in a good body of ore, judging- from the dump and samples coming up in the bucket. Assay values could not be ascertained. A shaft house has been erected on the property. The Snowshoe is under bond to R. W. Mc- "Farlane, representing lOnglish capital. The Brooklyn : Buildings are being erected on the Brooklyn, under the superintendence of M. Mckean, and a large quantity of timber is on the ground to be used in the, shaft. Crib-work is being put in for ore dumps and foundation of buildings and everything-is being put in shape for active operations the coming season. A boiler, steam hoist, and all modern machinery Used in the working of a mine will be installed in the; course of a month or six weeks, when actual development of the mine will be commenced. Oi,d Ironsides : The following is the report presented by J. F. Hemenway, the superintendent of the Old Ironsides mine, to the directors of his company while in Spokane : " We have cut through a solid body of ore 22 feet, assaying $25 per ton," said Mr. Hemenway. "This ore is encountered in a crosscut run from the shaft at the 100-foot level. We have penetrated 40 feet of ledge matter, including the' 22 feet of high grade ore, and have not yet encountered the hanging wall. The footwall is well defined, as this sample shows." Mr. Hemenwajr exhibited a specimen of the ore taken from a wall, almost as smooth as if it had been planed on that side. " What do your ores carry ?" " Our assays average $14 in g-old, five per cent, copper and $1.25 silver. The ore is of shipping g-rade, and just as soon as the railroads come into our coimtrj' we will be prepared to ship ore in larg-e quantities. In the meantime development work will continue. The ledge runs in such a way that we have only to sink a shaft to the 200-foot level and then run a crosscut a short distance to penetrate the ledge at a depth of 300 feet. We installed a new plant last fall, and the work is all done with steam drills, so that sinking to the 200-foot level and reaching the pre body at depth will not be a tedious operation. We are working two shifts of 12 men. lyast week a new drilling machine was installed. This was-nec- essary to avoid delays in case the machine in use required repairs. In buildings and machinery the Old Ironsides is one of the best equipped mines in the district. The machinery consists of a 60-horse power boiler, hoist, pump, air compressor, arid two Rand drills, and there are two bunk houses, a kitchen, dining room, offices and shaft house on the property. The Knob Hill mine adjoins the Old Ironsides, and is largely owned by the same people. Tt�� will be developed with power furnished from the Old Ironsides plant. Machinery consisting of hoist, pump and Rand drills have been ordered for the Knob Hill, and will soon be installed. The compressed air will be taken by pipes from the Ironsides arid both claims will be worked with power from'one boiler." a&' $*��� *������� <Ts. %F w" =?��? ���sji> THE ANACONDA GROUP. The Anaconda group, a half interest in which was purchased last week by T. A. Garland, from 10. A. Bielenberg-, comprises the Anaconda, Columbia and Kootenay claims. The Anaconda claimis situated in North Deadwood camp, and has on it a vein of quartz and lime spar about 100 hundred feet in width, carrying copper sulphides, copper oxides andiron pyrites and assays from $2 tb...$204.n^gold, 3 to 12 oz in silver, and averaging 17 per cent, in copper. Ail assay from samples taken from the claim by Mr. Woodhouse went $12.56 in all values. This of course was an average sample of the ledg-e. There are five distinct ore chutes on the claim, three of which have been uncovered and in all about $5,000 has been expended in development work. The Kootenay claim adjoins the Anaconda on the west, and two distinct ore bodies have thus far been exposed. On one of these a shaft has been sunk 20 feet, discovering- 4 .feet of solid sulphides, giving assay returns of from $2.07 to $37.50. Four hundred feet to the west of this shaft is an open cut tapping a body of sulphides which can be traced for about 800 feet. Five openings have been made on this ledge, exposing in cuts 2 and 5 large bodies of iron sulphides, carrying $4.50 in gold. No assays have been taken from the other cuts. The Columbia ore body is of iron sulphides about 8 feet wide at the discovery post. The ledge has been stripped for a distance of 12 feet, and only one assay has been, taken, yielding $10.55 in gold. About 200 feet to the south is a 4-foot vein of dark material, carrying iron sulphides. No assays taken. The Columbia lies to the south of the Anaconda. South of and adjoining the Anaconda is the Forest Grove with the same quartz and lime contact, on which a shaft 12 feet in depth has been sunk, and giving very good assay returns. To the south and west of the Columbia is the I^ancaster on which a 12-foot shaft has been sunk, with the same formation and averaging assays nearly the same as the Columbia. South of the Ivancaster, is the Marguerite, owned by Dr. McMartin, J. P. Harlan and F. C. Brown. This claim was located in June,. 1895, or rather was relocated. On the Marguerite a shaft has been sunk 40 feet and two incline shafts, one 23 feet and the other 20 feet. A crosscut has been run 15 feet from the shaft at a depth of 30 feet, discovering, a good body of ore, similar in character and value to that in the Mother lyode in the same camp. Adjoining and east of the Marguerite is the Plutonia. 'ihe Fxcelsior, is situated near the Forest Grove, Lancaster, Marguerite and Plutonia. This claim shows the same kind of quartz ;.:s that of the Anaconda. The vein has been stripped for about fifteen feet, carrying- oxidized iron. Two hundred feet to the west some copper sulphides have been exposed, but little work has been done. --rw-f3" a?rs?rBnajmmw^*ff THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, BOUNDARY CREEK M. & C. ASSOCIATION. The regular fortnightly meeting of the Boundary Creek Mining and Commercial association was held Wednesday evening, March 16, President Hardy in the chair. Minutes of previous meeting read and adopted. The following communications were read and on motion received and filed: Victoria, March 6, 1598. Sir.���I am directed by the Hon. J. H. Turner to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of recent date, calling his attention to the fact that the Greenwood hospital has not heretofore received assistance from the provincial government, and to state in reply that the matter will be taken up and duly considered in connection with the estimates now being framed- R. E. Gosnell, Secretary. Victoria, B. C, March 7, 1898. Dear Sir.���I have laid your petition re Greenwood hospital before the provincial secretary and have also, interviewed other members of the government on the same subject. I feel satisfied, from what they say, that an allowance will be made,'but how much* it is impossible for me ,to say. I will however notify you as soon as the estimates are down. Donated Graham. Ottawa, Feb. 19,1898. My Dear Sir.���I have your letter of the 17th instant, in which you advise me that a resolution was passed at a meeting of the residents of Boundary, creek, urging the necessity of the immediate construction of railway facilities in your district, and that Mr. Duncan Ross was appointed a delegate to Ottawa hi connection with the matter. Yours faithfully, Clifford Sieton. Ottawa, Feb. 23, 1898. Dear Sir.���I am in receipt of your letter of the 7th instant, intimating that the residents' of Greenwood City had deputed Mr. Duncan Ross to proceed to Ottawa to urge upon the government the necessity of the immediate construction of a railway to your town. You may rest assured that any representations which Mr. Ross may make will be carefully considered. Yours failhfullv, Andr. G. Bivair. President Hardy brought up the niatter of redistribution for East Yale, stating that an effort, was being made by the people of Rossland to have a part of this district included in the Trail Creek district for electoral purposes. .Mr. Galloway wTas opposed to Greenwood being included in the Trail district, and thought the association should oppose it in every way possible, as this district had very few interests in common with Trail. Mr. Black thought it would be better to leave the electoral district of East Yale as it now is than to have a part included in the Rossland district. Mr. Nelson also spoke in the same strain. Moved by Mr. Black, seconded by Mr. Nelson, that a committee, composed of Messrs. Galloway, J. H. MacFar- larie, T. A. Garland and the secretary, be appointed to draft resolutions in reference to the division of East Yale for electoral purposes, and forward them to Donald Graham, M.-P.P., and the government. Carried. Moved by Mr. Nelson, seconded b\r Mr. McEean, that the secretary be instructed to write to the Grand Forks Board of Trade in reference to action taken b}r this association re redistribution, and asking for their co-operation. Carried. On motion Messrs. T. A. Garland, H. B. Munroe, John H. Pallett and C. Collins were admitted to membership. Association then adjourned. Boundary Valley Lodge, No. 38, I.O.O.F.

By perusing an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that the city constable is at home to owners of dog-s every day. , ID. A. Bielenberg- has purchased a one-fourth interest in the Gem, Dead- wood camp, from C. Hay, the price paid being $800 cash. Geo. Ford, is digging a trench from Copper street to the creek on Greenwood street, with the object of running a pipe for bath purposes. Acting Mayor Barrett left on Tuesday last on a business trip to Vernon and probably to the coast. He will be away two or three weeks. W. J. Barker foreman of the Jewel, L/ong L/ake camp, was in the city this week, paying men and on other business connected with the mine. J. Ernst, of Nelson, B.

He states that very- great interest is taken in tne Boundary creek district by ���trie people of Spokane. On the Bruce claim, Ingrim mountain, near Midway, the tunnel is now in about 125 feet, and the miners work-c ing on the claim think they have struck the foot wall. The rock they are working on is well mineralized. It is expected the ledge will be tapped by about 15 feet more work. The Japanese, Jetsua Miyakami, committdd for trial by Police Magistrate Hallett, for fbrg-ery and stealing', came up before , County Court Judge Spinks on Friday, last, under the Speedy trials act, and was sentenced to three years, on the charge of forgery, and one on the charge of stealing a pin.

Moved by Aid. ^Galloway, seconded by Aid. Kerr, that order, be drawn on treasurer in favor of Thompson Stationery Coni- ��� pany for $7.50. Carried. City; Clerk reported collections as follows : Licenses, $727.50 ; road tax, $100 ; dog tax, $4. Total, $831.50. Considerable discussion took place in regard to'the best manner of collecting the dog tax, and whether it would be advisable for the city to furnish collars and tags or not. Also as to whether owners could be compelled to decorate their dogs with collars and tags furnished by the city. It was finally moved by Aid. Galloway, seconded by Aid. -Kerr, that clerk be instructed to confer with city solicitor and adopt such means as the law would allow to enforce the collection of the dog tax. Carried. Aid. Galloway brought up the matter of proposed waterworks and street improvements, and suggested that city engineer be instructed to prepare plans and make estimates of cost of work to be done on each street, so that the city would be ready to proceed with work by contract or otherwise so soon as the money . was available, and also that pipe should be ordered as soon as possible, for the waterworks in order that the system would be completed at an early a date. Aid. Parry suggested that work of grading be commenced on Greenwood street near the hospital. Aid. Phalen understood that city engineer had been instructed to prepare plans and make estimates of cost, and suggested that pipe should be bought at once subject to approval of council. Moved by Aid. Phelan, seconded by Aid. Parry, that city engineer be instructed to prepare estimates of cost of grading each street, and submit same to council at his earliest convenience. Carried. The Board of Works, composed of Aid. Galloway, Barrett and Kerr were appointed a committee, to attend to the proposed improvements, with Aid. Galloway as chairman.

Hitherto the people in British Columbia have taken so little interest in the selection of candidates, by convention, that the legislation of the province has been placed in the hands of an irresponsible, and corrupt clique in Victoria, whose only aim has been to bleed the people in. every conceivable way, until the greater part of the lands and coal in the province is in the hands of railway corporations, charter-mongers and ward heelers. SUBSCRIPTION, $2.00 -EEK YEAR, IN ADVANCE. SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1898. '.., ' NOTES.. .. The Vernon News appeared last week without Editor McKelvie'sname at the mast-head ; its tone was also distinctly in opposition to the provincial government's policy. Whatever'the, outcome of the rail- Way legislation at Ottawa may be, the thanks of the people of this district are due to Hewitt Bostock, M. P., for his untiring- efforts in favor of .the" Corbin" ���charter and legislation' beneficial to ���the Boundary-Creek country.-'. An effort is being- made by the people of Rossland to have a part of East Yale joined to Trail district for electoral purposes. This would place the people'��of 'Boundary district in." a much worse position than at present. The Mining-, and Commercial associa- : tion took the matter up at the last meeting-, and have forwarded strong-, resolutions to Victoria in opposition to the proposal. So far as the people of Boundary are concerned they mig-ht just as well form a part of the electoral district of North Victoria as of Trail. The interests of the districts are as 'nearly identical. There are a sufficient number of voters in this district, south of Penticton, to entitle the people to a representative, and tacking- us on to another district would be a very great injustice. Some time along- about May or June the electors of this district will find themselves looking around for a candidate to represent them in the provincial leg-islature, without any previous org-anization and without a convention being- called. Then the usual mode of procedure in this province will be resorted to. Some individual, with more g-all than his neig-hbors, will announce to the electors that he is a candidate ; some other fellow, with an equal amount of nerve, will announce himself in opposition to candidate No. 1, and the electors will have no choice " If rs announced from Ottawa that Mr. D. G. Fraser is an aspirant for the B. C. judgeship.' What claim Mr.,; Fra- sier has on the office we are unable to learn. He is neither a member of the local Bar nor a resident of the Province. At the time that this Province went into confederation, one of the unwritten terms of union was that all vacancies on the Bench should be filled from the Bar of the Province. This is as it should be and we hope no consideration will be g-iven to outside aspirants. The Bar of British Columbia is composed of the proper material for making judges." The foregoing quotation is from the Nation, a new Victoria publication. Whenever a vacancy- occurs on the British Columbia'bench, a parag-raph similar to the one quoted, goes the rounds of the provincial press, and the result is that a feeling- is raised against the best possible material for the position. It certainlj* would be better if vacancies on the provincial bench were filled by men from some other province. It'would do away with the suspicion of prejudice and unfairness that is very prevalent in reg-ard to some of-the British Columbia judg-es. Where there is so much talk, there is ver3r probably some foundation for the utterances in reg-ard to actions of judges. Whatever the local prejudices may be in regard to eastern importations for the B. C. bench, it is .hardly likely that a lawyer of repute in any of the eastern provinces could be named for the bench, who could be induced to " buck " a nickel-in-the-slot g-anie in a public place; it is hardly possible that an appointee from the bar of Ontario, for instance, would enter into a game of " draw poker " in a. way-side inn. He would have respect for the position in which he was placed, if not for himself. The cry of British Columbia for the British Columbians is becoming too narrow and too " thin " for the population. There is always some axe to grind behind such a cry. It might have done service twenty, or even 1en years ago. It won't do now. The question as to where the appointee conies from, is not of so much importance to the public as that of his ability and integrity, and the people of the province will respect the occupant of a position on the bench who respects himself. nThe C.

The following- report of the cases ag-ainst the Donald Bros., of Camp McKinney, before R. G. Sidley, J. P., and Herirj^ Nicholson, J. P., was received too late for publication in last issue : McMynn v. Frank Donald.���The accused was charged with having supplied, on January 1st, liquor to an intoxicated person. A good deal of contradictory evidence was given, but the court held that the charge was proven, and imposed a fine of $20 and $9.50 costs. McMynn v. Frank Donald.���The accused was charged with selling liquor to H. Douglas on Sunday, 6th February. There was no proof that Frank Donald had done so, but there was evidence that the liquor had been sold by his ag-ent. In this case the line was fixed at $20 and $9.50 costs. The court remarked that the ' fine would have been greater were they not satisfied that all the cases were instigated by malice. Regina v.'Frank Donald and Thomas Donald.���In this case the defendants were charged with keeping a betting house. The only evidence given was that of George Bennett, who swore that a game of cards Avas played in which a person bet his hand against the rest of the players. As the magistrates considered there was no evidence to support the charge, the case was>dismissed and the following wriileri judgment read by the court: ���-. ,' Camp McKinney, B. C. March 5. Regina v. Frank Donald and Thos. Donald.���In this case the defendants were charged with keeping a disorderly hpuse, b3r keeping a room in which gambling was g-oing- on for gain. Now, to come within the statute, it must be kept for the purpose specified, and this had not���been shown. It ���must be a principal and essential part and not merely subsidiary and for the recreation of the guests. All the enactments against gambling are for the purpose of preventing divers idle and evil- disposed persons from congregating together and plajdng for excessive sums of money. If the guests of an inn call for dice or cards, and for their recreation plajr with them, it is not against the statutes. A gaming- house is a nuisance at common law, being detrimental to the public, as it promotes cheating and other corrupt practices, and incites to idleness and avaricious wa}rs of gaining property. To make an hotel keeper liable for keeping a gaming" house, it must be shown that he makes a gain by it or that he allows cheating to go on or excessive sums of money to be plaj'ed for. As none of these things have been proven, the case is dismissed. R. G. Sidley, J. P. .. "���. Henry Nicholson, J. P. A Newspaper for Republic Camp.

','-.'������ [Toronto Globe.] The natural desire of- the Canadian Pacific Railway for an extension of the Crow's Nest Pass line from Robson westward, finally to the coast by a connection at Hope, has been quickened by the proposal of Mr. D. C. Corbin to extend a line into the Boundary Creek district. Mr. Corbin .owns the Nelson & Fort Sheppard Railway,���a -continuation of his line irom Spokane to the Canadian boundary at Fort Sheppard* from which point it runs northward to Nelson, about 60 miles in Canadian territory. From Northport, which is south of the boundary, he has a branch running-, to Rossland, and he proposes to build without subsidy or land grant about 100 miles of railway into the Boundary Creek district. As originally proposed, this line would run from Marcus, near the junction of the Columbia and Kettle rivers, about .38 miles south of the Boundary, and would be almost entirely in American territory. It would branch froni Mr. Corbin's main line south of Northport, where the smelter is located. Some of the petitions presented to parliament asking that the charter be granted for sl railway to the Boundary Creek district, along the Kettle River valley, request that a clause be inserted to prevent discriminating rates on ore in favor of smelters on the American side. Not only the rates but the route of this line may be made quite as favorable to the' smelting industry and trade of the Dominion as the proposed extension of the Canadian Pacific into the same district, and Mr. Corbin's willingness to build without public aid puts the Dominion government in a favorable position. - It has dawned on the people of Canada that they have been altogether too generous in the matter of aid to railway builders. As long as the people are willing to pay, it is natural that the railways should be in a state of want. But the more generous the subsidies the greater is the temptation tq load up railways with unnecessary capital and bonded indebtedness, and to launch them with burdens which they can scarcely carry. The great majority of the railways on ; this continent, if built on business principles and without the:construction ��� company operations which tend to over-indebtedness, could be run on business principles. The returns for the services rendered would pay a fair profit on the outlay. But the methods by which subsidies leak away and the cost of construction is augmented, are responsible for the belief that a public subvention is essential to every railway enterprise. The Canadian Pacific Railway is in a good financial condition. It has been ������ paying 5 per cent, per annum on stock, some of which was issued at 25 per cent. For a comparatively new road with a long section through unprofitable territory to pay 5, 10 and 20 per cent. on the money actually invested, is an evidence of the profitable nature of railroad business. The subsidies given for the construction of the Crow's Nest Pass line were liberal, and it is unfortunate that they were not made conditional on the surrender of the company's immunity from control in the matter of freight rates. The proposed extension to the Boundary Creek district will be a profitable piece of line arid the Company have abundant resources to construct it. Mr. Corbin is prepared to construct the line and look for his remuneration in the returns from its traffic. That should be the financial basis of all railway construction,' as of every other useful enterprise. The C.P.R. should do the same or leave the field to more enterprising rivals. The j)roposed extension would be at least as profitable to the Canadian Pacific ��� as to the Spokane Falls & Northern, and as a link in a southern connection to Hope and Vancouver it would be infinitely more valuable to the great Canadian line. There is no valid excuse for soliciting a subsid3r for the construction of this line. That it will be a profitable undertaking is shown by the willingness of Mr. Corbin to build it without aid; Canadians have passed the stage in which they > would pajr a private corporation for embarking in a profitable business, especially when there is competition on the basis of purety private enterprise. This holds g-ood with regard to the entire southern extension of the C.P.R. to Hope. The construction of that line will be in itself profitable to the company, and there can be 'no, g-rounds for dependence on public aid. The people of the Boundary Creek clis- , trict want a railwa3r service now. Thejr have plenty of ore lying at the mines ready for shipment! It would be more satisfactory for them to secure a ^service by Canadian enterprise ; but as a profitable traffic is awaiting the railway, it will undoubtedly be built, even if Canadian enterprise fails. The C.P.R. Co. control the charier of the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern, under which thejr can proceed at once with the construction of the line, and as that charter carries a provincial land grant, the work should be soon under way. With regard to the merits of the rivals, it is evident that Mr. Corbin will be as eager to divert the traffic of the district to the S. F. & N. as the C.P.R. would be to keep the business along their own line. An extension by the C.P.R. would be more profitable to Canadian merchants and others within reach of the mining- trade ; but the balance of advantage is not sufficient to justify the subsidizing- of a profitable enterprise.

The Corbin charter came up before the railway committee at Ottawa on the 10th and an adjournment was made until this week.

The Nelson Board of Trade passed and forwarded to Ottawa last week, resolutions favoring the Corbin charter into Boundary Greek. St. 'Patrick's',, day passed off very quietly in Greenwood. In the evening Prof. Boice gave a dance in Rendell & Go's. hall. There was a very large attendance, and a first class time.

Frost and Mrs. J. Winters carried off the honors. Mr. J. Olson took the other prize.

I ��� ��� ��i ;'j OUNDARY CREEK TIMESv NOTES FROM OTTAWA. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.] Ottawa, March 6th T���The fate of the Kettle River Valley Railway Company's bill will be decided this week. The railway committee has been organized with Mr. James Sutherland, the popular Eiberal whip as chairman. The first meeting'" of the committee for the transaction of business will be held on Tuesday next. Thanks to Mr. Bo- stock who is nothing if not accommodating, the Kettle River railway bill is near the head of the list and will receive early consideration. Matters are more hopeful than when I wrote my previous letter. The concensus of opinion among the members is that the bill should not be defeated. Since the construction of the railway does not entail any cost Upon the country, and since the people who are most- directly interested are unanimously in favor of the road, the members outside of the one or two who have axes to grind are in favor of the bill. This does not by any 'means mean that the bill will pass. Politics often force a" member to act and vote against his convictions. It is often a question of what ."my'- leader says " not "what is right." " If the government says its a good thing, we will push it along " says the faithful liberal and the loyal conservative takes his instructions from Sir Charles Tupper. The necessity for having the support of the government is therefore appar-. ent. Those interested in the passage of the bill directed their forces towards getting an expression of approval from the government. In this they were ably assisted by Senator Templeman, of Victoria, who is broadriiinded enough not to be swrayed by the selfish, short sighted course of the boards of trade of Victoria and Vancouver. Those bodies have no influence excepting where they are not known and consequently while their views could have no weight on the Coast, they will receive some slight consideration at Ottawa. The action of the Victoria Board was inspired by Joshua Davies who has a personal quarrel with Mr. Corbin and who is evidently of the opinion that revenge is better than public interest. Senator' Templeman went carefully into the question of the Kettle River Valley railway and having satisfied himself that the construction of the road would not only be invaluable to the Boundary Creek district but would also give a competitive road to the Coast to wholesalers having business in the district, he saw Sir Wilfrid Eaurier and learned from him that the government had no objection to the passage of the bill. There the matter rests and as soon as the result is known I will telegraph to Greenwood. Richard Armstrong, the Grand Forks delegate is doing good~> work. He is acquainted with man}' of the members and being an affable, intelligent gentleman, he soon convinces them that our cause is a righteous one. Mr. J. C. Haas, M. E., of Greenwood was in Ottawa for a few days.- I regretted that he was unable to remain here but he rendered good service to the district by leaving with me letters for Hon. G. E. Foster, his mining partner. Mr. Foster is a leader on the conservative side of the house and it was of the greatest importance that we should have,his support. Sir Charles Tupper is also with us and Ruf us, Pope, M. P., one of the principal shareholders in the Old Ironsides Company is doing good service. Eobbying a bill is no pleasant occupation, particularly when the majority of the members know little and care less of the requirements of the district. They are courteous enough to listen to one's story but when the)r ask one ." Where is Boundary Creek ? Are there any mines there ? Is it in Rossland ? Is it up near Teslin Eake? Is this another. Yukon scheme ?"���one feels tempted to give up in disgust and rail about the limited knowledge the average eastern member knows about distant portions of the Dominion. I found the Coryell's maps of-the greatest service and everyone is anxious to secure a copy. As Others See Us. The Inland Printer, the highest authority oil printing and the allied trades in the United, States, has the following in.its March issue : " Boundary Creek Times, Greenwood, B.C. (100 miles from a railroad) : While a railroad is not usually considered a necessary adjunct to the publishing- of a newspaper,'the man who conducts one in a town so isolated is looked upon as w,orking at a disadvantage. The news columns of The Times might be better filled if a railroad was near at hand, but the mechanical execution could be but little im- proved, and to the very absence of a railroad mig-ht be; credited the fact that eleven of the sixteen pages are advertising-���mostly local. Nearly all of the ad. display is good. . . ." Off for Omineca. E. A. Bielenberg, John Dunn and James Steel, left on Wednesday. for the coast, where Messrs. Dunn and Steel will outfit for the Omenica country, taking the overland route by Ash- croft and Quesnelle Forks. They expect to be gone two years, and will prospect for leads as well as placer ground. Mr. Bielenberg and others are interested financially in the scheme. nTrtfr-nrr^-r���*���^-*-*^-**^*^ Awarded Highest Honors���World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair.

Schofield and McDonnell each oh eld a one-fourth interest in'the claim. The remaining one half interest is held, one-fourth by Farrell & Midgeon, and one-eighth each by R. Denzier, and T. Tye. The Phoenix was located in 1894 by Thos. McDonnell, R. Denzier and Jas. Schofield, and lies between the Stemwinder and Old Ironsides. It also adjoins the Idaho on the east.
