E would again point out to the Hon. the Chief Commissioner of I*ands and Works the folly of the system in vogue at present of waiting until the revenue is collected before anything is done towards repairing* the roads in the rural districts. Directly the winter season is over and the snow begins to melt, men should be employed to keep the main highways open. Moreover, by following this practice, the yearly expense of maintaining existing roads would be considerably lessened, the work being much more effective���and hence cheaper��� when carried on in the spring. Take for instance the state of affairs in Boundary now : roads impassable ; travel and traffic reduced to its lowest possible measure ; men paying stage fare and blaspheming the government because compelled to walk, horses having all they can manage to haul empty vehicles, much less passengers, through the riiire. If these were necessary evils they could be borne with fortitude, only increasing the fervency of the prayers for a railroad; but when a fault can be remedied one expects to see it done. Now it is by no means improbable that if Boundary creek rises as high as is expected the briege between Anaconda and Boundary Ealls will be swept away within the next few weeks, when all communication (mail service included) from the Penticton direction will be cut off! Then, doubtless, measures will be taken. Over the Summit the road is so bad that it has become necessary to propose that the people of Boundary Creek subscribe towards paying a force of men to make it passable. Yet the sum contributed last year from Boundary Creek helped to swell the revenue of the province to a by no means despicable extent. Under the circumstances it is only reasonable to ask that a man be appointed���or the extra duty might devolve upon one of the government officials in the district���to see that the roads are kept in a decent state of repair the year round. Sufficient funds should be placed at the disposal of this official, so that he would not be hampered on this account. The idea has somehow become accepted on the " outside " that Boundary Creek is a camp of low grade smelting propositions, and that consequently until th.e district has railway facilities and smelters are established, investors must be content to wait for returns from money invested in the camp. While, of course, it is true that the huge bodies of ore, of low grade value as compared with the small rich veins of the Slocan for instance, existing in Boundary will ere long���the date is not far off now���cause the fame of the district to be heralded in every part of Europe and America. At the present time the fact should be better advertised that a proportionately fair number of the prospects on Boundary Creek have ledges of high-grade ore which can be successfully treated by concentration. Even to-day it would pay the owners to ship ore from such claims as the DA., Helen, Combination and several other properties in Providence camp; while by the erection of stamp mills in Smith's camp the ores of the Republic, Xast Chance and Tunnel could be lucratively treated. These claims are referred to, be it understood, for the sake of example alone, for many more might be included in the same class. We would certainly suggest to the B. C. Mining & Commercial Association the advisability of sending samples of the higher grade ores of the district to (say) Spokane, placing them on exhibition in the railroad stations or some other public resort at that place,���railway stations, being pecu liarly suited for such purposes, in preference. If by thus doing one man is induced to invest money in Boundary, the small expense and trouble which the association would incur in carrying out this suggestion would be repaid with interest. -4? iMS. The "Public Works I<oan Act," in its amended form has become law ; nothing more can therefore be profitably said. Nevertheless the government will one day realize the mistake of passing the obnoxious clause relative to the British Pacific scheme in the face of the avowed opposition of a great majority of the people on the Mainland.- The minority in the House may, at any rate upon this question, be said to have fairly represented the wishes of the people .of the Province, and the thanks of his constituents are��due to Mr. Graham for the insertion of the very important clause making the bona fide and continuous construction " of the road from Penticton to Boundary Creek cempulsory within 15 months from the passage of the Act." Indeed Mr; Graham would have limited the time to one year���surely a sufficient period to give promoters to perfect their plans���had he been allowed to do so. But it may be safely predicted that during the next few months either the V. V. & 10. Co. or theC.?tI?^rznigre likely the former���-will take advantage pf the assistance offered by ���the government. A railway line from Penticton, while not designed to remedy the existing drawbacks from which this district suffers in the way of lack of facilities for the transportation of ores, will at least relieve the isolation of its position and stimulate the development of its resources. ���sji? ���Sis5* 0 ���5ft W- The Loan Act is a very different measure now from what it appeared when first held up to the gaze of an admiring public. The amendments have so entirely metamorphosed its character that if it were not for the " B.P." clause it is doubtful whether the Premier himself would recognise his i* railway policy.'' Thanks to the energetic measures taken by the people of Boundary Creek and the resolution passed by the meeting at Greenwood, Mr. Heinze will not have things all his,own way and as at first seemed probable. The following amendment, introducedby Mr. Sword (who, by- the-way, is worthy of his truculent nameK places Mr. Heinze on the same level with the V. V. & E., the C. P. R., or any Qther corporation, person or firm wishing to construct the road : In the case of the line from Penticton to the Boundarj' Creek district being* built by a company entitled to a land grant cfor the construction of such line, the subsidy herein authorised shall only be paid to such company oh its giving* up its claim to the land grant for such portion of its line. In fact it is not at all unlikely that the Columbia & Western will not build the last section of the road under the circumstances, and in view of this we submit that the reserved iands en route should be immediately thrown open to settlement. Even Mr. Heinze himself would, we believe, scarcely object if this were done. The Penticton-Midway^ section of the Columbia & Western will either be built or it will not. If it is within the stipulated time, the company can either take the cash bonus of $4,000 per mile offered by the government, or the proceeds from the sale of land sold in the railway belt and a deed to the land unsold when their intentions have been declared. If the section is not built, then by throwing the reserved land open at once Mr. IJeinze will have no cause for complaint and the country will be benefitted to the extent that second and third class land which under the provisions of the Columbia &; Western Act is not now pre-emptable, can be occupied, "%.

A public meeting was held in the school-room on Monday night to arrange for the celebration of the Queeii's birthday at Greenwood on the 24th;; o*f May. Mr. Galloway was voted to the - chair and Mr. Hodgson acted as secretary.- ���.' ;.���.' "������; "���;.;���; After calling the meeting to order, the chairman said that it was customary in the different British colbnies to celebrate the birthday Of the Queen by a public holiday and the' carrying out of a prograninie of sports and games./ It was for this meeting to decide how best to celebrate the occasion. Person- ally he had to confess a predilection for horse racing. On/Sunday Mr. Shaw, C.E., had kindly taken the levels and looked over a plot of ground north of town, to see if it would be suitable for a race-track. He had reported adversely, and it was therefore necessary to look elsewhere for a course if horse- racing was to be a feature of the celebration. ,. . v . Mr. Nelson thought horse-racing. should certainly be an' essential part of the'programme. Mr. Gomstock suggested that a fair , half-mile track could- be made at a small expense along Silver street to the saw-mill. ' ��� "���' .Mr. L,eamy moved that Messrs. Nelson, Comstock, Smith, Curry and Galloway form a committee to arrang-e a programme of sports which would include, besides horse-r<j._ing, Caledonian games. The motion was carried. Mr.,Elkins then pointed out that in England great preparations were being made to celebrate -the" great event of the Queen's diamond jubilee on June 22nd. He was decidedly of the opinion that something should be done in Greenwood of a permanent nature in commemoration of the occasion. The chairman suggested that Greenwood might well follow the example set by Victoria and commemorate the diamond jubilee by putting the streets in order [laughter]. Mr. Black thought the opening of public recreation grounds would be a suitable -way of carrying out the idea. Mr. Galloway pointed out that land had already been reserved 611 the town-' site for this purpose. Mr. Wood said the suggestion that .a monument of ores be erected met with his approval ; if anything was clone it should be well done. Mr. Galloway feared that in a very short time such a monument' would become an eyesore .rather than a thing of beauty*. Everyone knew that ore exposed to the atmosphere would become oxidised. Mr. Hodgson wished to know if the 24th of May was to be celebrated as well as the 22nd of June. He was of the opinion that people could not afford to subscribe to two celebrations.- That the Queen had lived, to reign..longer- than any sovereign in English histoi-3- was a very notable event, and that should be commemorated in a iittintr ��� manner in Greenwood. Mr. L,amb quite agreed^ with Mr. Hodgson's views. The question, he said, of raising subscriptions for' the two events mig-ht possibly be settled by winding up the celebration oh the 24th May with a concert in the evening and devoting the proceeds .therefrom as the nucleus of a fund.for providing a jubilee memorial of a lasting character. Mr. Galloway, as a school trustee, objected to this suggestion. The school was very much in debt, and he and his colleagues hoped by giving a concert to decrease their liabilities. Mr, Milligan then moved that the celebration take place May;24th. Mr: Hallett offered as an amendment the 22nd of June, pointing outjthat the season was much later this year than last and that prospectors"were only beginning to go into the"hills. He thought that if the celebration was held in June the attendance would be rnuch larger. He was opposed to the idea of horses- racing in Greenwood. Nature never intended Greenwood for a race-course and people would not run good -horses on the course proposed ; athletic sports and rock drilling* contests would be much more to the point. Upon a vote being taken the amendment was lost. Mr. Hodgson then moved that Messrs. Breslauer, Black and Sutherland be appointed to act on the committee already named to undertake the management of the Queen's birthday celebration : and Messrs. Wood, Elkins, Ivamb, Hallett and Hodgson were appointed as a committee to arrange for the commemoration of the diamond jubilee. The proceedings then terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. A Road to iKimberley Cam?. . Mr. Smailes, of Rendell & Co., has started a fund for the construction of a road -frour Greenwood to "Kimberley camp. The work of cleaning and'grading was commenced 011 Monday.' Private enterprise has built every road in Boundary, with the exception of the ��� main trunk road. This arrangement naturally is quite satisfactory, so far as the g-overnment of the country is concerned, who are thereby enabled to devote the money collected from Boundary Creek in the form of "taxes, to other purposes ; but those who are asked to put their hands in their pockets to help defray the expense of building or mending public roads, but nevertheless find/that the tax-collector does not .take this into account but is as inexorable and pressing as ever, demur with reason. The road to this camp will increase the revenue of the government office at Midway by giving, the-.'prospector access to a lately discovered/but'':, promising mineral field. But little development work-has been carried on in Kimberley. camp, the discovery of mineral only dating from'., .last summer; enough has, however, been done to prove that huge deposits of pyrrhotite ore exist. The formation and the character of the outcroppings here are the same as at Trail creek where, in the case of the Deer Park and other properties, the low grade massive sulphides outcropping gave place at a depth to a very much richer and more silicious ore,-���prospects accounted too low grade to operate becoming valuable mines. In Kimberley camp the same conditions will prevail, albeit from some of the claims the ore assa3rs. higher /than did most of the Trail prospects at.the same stag-e of development. " , MINING MOTES. Two men are at work 011 the Toronto in Skylark caiilp, bonded through Mr'.' Hind to a Vancouver syndicate. "'."*; The contractors, Messrs.

A tunnel has been run 200 feet on the Tinhorn and connection made with the old shaft at a depth of 63 feet. A shaft is being sunk on the vein SO feet from the mouth of the tunnel. The ore encountered is extremely hard blue quartz, with iron p3rrites and some zinc blende. . The vein is four feet wide in the tunnel. It is,rumored that the owners of the Joe Dandy intend to erect a stamp mill on the ba.nks of the Okanagan river,; as the water supply at the mine is in sufficient. . Mr. Dewar, a graduate of McGill University, who has been engaged to superintend the work at the Smuggler mine, has arrived here. It is reported on good authority that a group of iron-capped claims towards Myers' flat have been bonded for $10,000. Dr. Mclveod has established a practice at Fairview. Three or four people in the camp are seriously ill with pneumonia. The Setting Sun, a small high-grade proposition at Kerenieos, was sold the other day for $3,000 cash. The ore, a highly argentiferous gray copper, isV. found in a-vein varying from 3 inches to \l/z feet in width and assays over 1,000 ozs.. Mr. Thos. Elliott is building a larg-e stable and livery barn. LOCAL NOTES. Mr. W. Ev Medill arrived on Friday, after spending the winter months in Nanaimo. Mr. Archie Jackson, of c Midway, returned from Nicola this week, accompanied by a younger brother. Mr. Eeonard Norris, government agent ate Vernon, was in the district this week on business relative to the townsite reserved by the government at Rock Creek. Mr. A. Fisher, one or the proprietors of the Greenwood saw-mill, has been summoned under the health regulations for throwing sawdust in Boundary creek. The case was brought up before Mr. Hodgson, J.P., on Monday but was adjourned for a week, it being necessary that two magistrates should sit on the bench. The old-time prospectors who have been, like the bears, hibernating during the winter months, are beginning to turn up again in the camp. Harry Nash came in from Fairview on Wednesday and will start work on the Cracker Jack in Greenwood camp next week.

A millinery and dressmaking shop is to be opened in Greenwood by Mrs. G. R. Propper, who arrived from Grand Forks yesterday. Mr. Monaghan, president of the Cariboo ^Mining Co., accompanied by a party from. Spokane, went up to Camp McKinney this week. o Mr. Robt. Hall arrived from Kelbwna this week, and after one round trip to Penticton for freight will settle on his ranch up Boundary creek. The Queen's birthday celebration committee have already collected nearly $300 in Greenwood, and, much canvassing still remains to be done. The committee have worked in a commend- ably energetic manner. A number of lots have been sold in "Greenwood this week and strangers ..now* arrive daily ori the stages. Among* those who contemplate remaining permanently is a Mr. Harvey, of California, who intends to open a restaurant ��� here... '���' ,: " . - ��� .'",'���;C. '��� , The Greenwood City. Mercantile Co. have now--twelve teams "oh; the road from Marcus. Notice has also been received of the arrival at. Marcus of a car-load of liquors and a car-load of giant powder, consigned to the firm. Mr. Robt. Densler, who had the misfortune to break a bone of his leg��� last week, will be moved from Marcus to . Greenwood camp next week. The fracture is not of so serious.a nature as , was at first reported, the smaller bone of the limb having been cleanly broken and not the tibia or shin bone.. The first of Messrs. Rendell & Co.'s freight teams arrived from Penticton on Thursday, having been 15 days on the road. Freight charges have consequently risen to 3c. The new addir tibn 20x45 to the firm's store has been completed and will be used exclusively as a dry goods department. In the legislature last week Mr. Graham made a determined stand against the passage of clause 21 of the Cascade Water Power & Ivight Co.'s bill, which would give the company prior rights to the use of the water of Boundary creek; Mr. Graham urged that the waters of Boundary creek be exempted from the Act. In spite of the opposition of the Attorney-General, who remarked that Greenwood was at present unincorporated but that when it was the Cascade company would have to go to the city for a by-law, Mr. Graham carried his point. The Midway Shooting Case. At Midway on Thursday and Friday the case of W.. G. McMynn, charged with assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm on a prospector named R. J. Hood, was given a preliminary hearing before C. A. R. I^ambiy, S.M., and J. Kerr, J.P. The evidence was very voluminous but did not .differ materially from the depositions made before Mr. L/anibiy at" the enquiry ordered by the government into the circumstances of the shooting in February. Up to the time of going to press the examination of witnesses had not been concluded. Strike on the Boundary Falls. A Vancouver correspondent writes : "The Boundary Falls Mining Co. is jubilant over the great strike on their property. The claim was recently purchased on a showing of $3.3 on the surface. A gang of men was put to work and at 20 feet the vein had widened from three to four feet, and ore picked off the face of the tunnel assayed up to $120 in gold and silver, no assay being under $100. The vein is a true fissure and is concentrating ore. Fully 90 per cent, can be saved on the plates of the crushen The mine is located four miles from Greenwood." McNICOL.-McLAREN. On Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock Mr. Jas. McNicol, of Midway, was married by the! Rev. T. Paton in the Presbyterian church at Grand Forks to Miss Jeahnette Mclvaren,' eldest daughter of Mr. Donald MLcI^aren, One of the proprietors of the Carson town- site. The bride was beautifully dressed in a white satin gown, trimmed with orange blossoms, and looked very charming; she was attended by her sister as bridesmaid, who wore, a pretty pink dress and carried a bouquet of flowers. Mr. Forbes M. Kerby acted as best man to the groom. After the ceremony a dance, which was largely attended, was given in the rooms of .the Grand Prairie hotel at Carson. Both the groom and bride; are well known and popular throughout the district and the wedding presents were numerous and costly*-. Mr. and Mrs.;.. McNicol left amid showers of rice and old shoes on Thursday to spend the honeymoon,in v Spokane. Upon their return they will reside in Midwaj*-. TARIFF CHANGES. Under the new tariff bill just introduced, mining machinery of, any kind and bla sting powder are placed on the free list; flour is reduced from 70 to ,60 cents per barrel: coal-oil reduced one cent ';'��� like reductions have been made on other necessaries, while luxuries are taxed to an increased extent. Until January, 1898, there will be a reduction of one-fourth on ail goods imported from Great Britain. MINING NOTES. Fred. Shonquest went up to I^ong lake "oh Friday to do an assessment on the Dinero Chico. Charlie Rendell is doing an assessment on the Whale, on Pass,: creek. The claim has an immense iron capping. -" Sunday closing" is now observed in Camp Fairview?; work at the mines being stopped for the day last Sunday for the first time. The Morning Glory mine, near Vernon, is given a prominent position in Toronto brokers' daily lists, shares being quoted at 15 cents. Messrs. McKenzie, and Cameron, visitors from Toronto representing an eastern syndicate, have purchased the Anchor and Enterprise claims in I^ong I^ake camp. The.Margaret claim at Rock Creek, bonded by Tom Currie to Mr. Thompson, was sold by him this week to Mr. Cowan, of Manitoba, at a good figure. The sale was effected by the judicious use of giant powder. >, Crown Grants.���When applying for crown grants, request that the advert tising thereof be published in Thk Boundary Creek Times,���the mining paper of the district.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. tibat]) HAROLD M. LAMB W. U. HARBER ��������� ��� EDITOR MANAGER Subscription, $2.00 per Year, in Advance. ; SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1897. Contract for Tunnel on the Sunset. On Tuesday Mr. J. H. McFarlane, on behalf of the Anaconda Mining* Company/let a contract to Mr. G. Rankin for 250 feet of tunnelling* on the Sunset, in Deadwood camp. L/ater on a contract will be let for either a shaft or tunneling* on the Crown Silver. The company hold a bond on both properties Sale of a Sixth Interest iii the Brooklyn. L<ast week Mr. W. T. Smith purchased from Mr. Mang-ott, of Fairview, a sixth interest in the Brooklyn, Greenwood camp, for Mr. Roberts, chief eng-ineer of the Spokane & Northern R.R. Co., the price being* $2,600 cash. Mr. Roberts was one of the original shareholders in the Rossland War E}ag*le, and when that property changed owners he realized for his share $60,000. He is also larg*ely interested in the Republic and other promising claims in Boundary. The Brooklyn has one of the largest surface showings in ^the camp and the result of the development work which has been carried on up to the present time has been eminentlj'- satisfactory. It is hoped that in the course of a few weeks a force of men will be employed to thoroughly open up and exploit the claim. The Adams Mining Company. Mr, Walter Adams arrived from Montreal on Tuesday, g-oing* over to the Okanag*an to, make arrangements for working* the properties there owned by the company recently formed by Capt. Adams in lyondon. It is also proposed to exploit the Cordick, in Summit camp, this summer with a diamond drill. Mr. Adams was pleasur- ably surprised at the growth that" has taken place in Greenwood since his last visit. The Coast and Boundary Creek. Mr. MacFarlane, of the Anaconda Mining* Co., who contemplates residing* here for some months, makes a statement that perhaps will rather astonish a good many. He says that in the coast cities everyone is talking* of Greenwood as the town of Boundary Creek district. This is good news, for it speaks well that the first and rightful place is accorded to a town that hast never been boomed like���well, like others in the same locality which could be mentioned. The impression that people on the coast do not realize the potentialities of the resources of Boundary Creek is, according to Mr. Mac- farlane, unfounded. On the contrary, the business nien especially are very keen to see the direct railroad built. The Harrison lake excitement is confined chiefly to Americans from Whatcom who have acquired larg-e interests in that section. Leaving for England. It is with very sincere regret we learn that Mr. Stephen Taylor has at leng-th conceded to the urgently expressed wishes of his friends at home and decided to return to England. Mr. Taylor, althoug-h his residence here has been of comparatively short duration, is deservedly popular with his fellow- townspeople in Greenwood, and his de parture, which will not however take place for two or three weeks to come yet, will be g-enerally deplored. His time meanwhile will be occupied in settling* up the affairs of his deceased brother, negotiations for the sale of the drug* business here being* now on. Mr. Taylor intends taking- back with him to England a collection of ores from Boundary Creek, and hopes by his representations of the great mineral resources of the district to induce wealthy men in England to invest in property here. Nuggets of Silver. Another magnificent specimen of ore from the D.A., literally sparkling* with specks and small nuggets of native silver, was brought down this week, having* been picked off the dump by, Mr. Shaw, C.E., who visited the property on Sunday. The D.A..'tunnel; is now in between 70 and 80: feet and the ore blasted out recently is very fine indeed. A Beautiful Townsite. ��� There is quite a building* boom at Midway at the present time, new businesses are being* established and a number of handsome private residences are also in course of construction. The majority of the residents of the town are fencing* in their property, planting- gardens and preparing* the ground for lawns. When the flat is supplied with water from the irrigation ditch, now nearly completed, Midway will be as beautiful a spot and as desirable a site for residential purposes as can be found in the province. The Church of England in Greenwood. The Rev. H. Irwin, of Rossland, held services in Greenwood on Wednesday evening* and Thursday morning*. After the service on Wednesday evening* a meeting; of the members of the Anglican church here was held, Mr. Hodgson being appointed secretary. It was decided to obtain a list of those belonging* to the Church of England in this district and an effort will be made to secure the offices of a resident clergyman. Upon Mr. Irwin's next visit a committee will be chosen and the question of building- a church at Greenwood taken up. .-." " ': - ���''' "' Capital Interested in Pass Creek. Bob Robinson returned this week after spending: the winter months in Spokane and Rossland. He has succeeded in interesting* a syndicate���a representative of whom will shortly visit the camp���in his two properties, the Golden Giant and the Northern Belle, on Pass creek. Meanwhile the claims are being-developed. MINING NOTES. The final assessment on the Trilby, in Skylark camp, has been completed. Estops and Smith went up to Pass creek on Thursday to work on No. 3. Mr. Leslie Hill, consulting engineer of the Prospecting Syndicate of B.C., returned from Rossland on Tuesday. Work on the Last Chance, the property of the Republic Mining* Co., will be started next week and tenders for sinking from the bottom of the present shaft will be called for. Three 8-hour shifts are to be put on the Golden Crown in the course of a week or so, in fact directly the tunnel is well under way. At present only four men are at work on the property. ** Garland & Co., ! Dealers in ��� J And MINERAL CLAIMS, i Greenwood, B.C. MINERAL CLAIMS ! | v ' ���.,-'.?

Goericke, but it was not until 1887 that much work was done ; in that year an incline shaft was sunk on the property to a depth of 110 feet. Assays from, the best ore ran from $44 to $480, with very little silver, and the poorest $7 to $12 ; one sample sent to San Francisco carried telluride. In 1887 the claim was patented by Messrs. J. C. Haynes, F. W. Goericke and C. B. Bash. Recent development consists of : Tunnel No. 1, 236 feet across the formation, and a drift on the ledg*e at present in 108 feet ; tunnel No. 2, also across the formation, 205 feet to.h angling* wall, and an upraise along- hang-ing- wall to tap the old incline shaft, about 70 feet. The perpendicular depth where ledg-e is cut in both tunnels is 100 feet. The assays from the ledg*e at the depth of crosscut vary from a few dollars to $280 in g*old and $2.30 in silver per ton. Sinking* has been beg-un on the ledg-e at the No. 2 tunnel. An upraise for air will.be made at No. 1 as soon as the 150 foot point is reached in the drift, when sinking- will prp.bably g*o on at the same point. A larg*e part of the ore is concentrating- and a mill to reduce it will be built as soon as the company find the quantity sufficient to promise a steady supply. Three spurs, dipping* towards the ledg*e, were crossed in the crosscut. The width of the ledg*e proper varies from 4 to 8 feet, and the width of the spurs from a few inches to 2 feet. The tunnels are 650 feet apart and enter the hill at the Rock, creek level. The Victoria is situated on the rig-lit. bank of the creek, .about Zl/2 miles south-east from Camp McKinney and halfra-mile from the stage road to Greenwood. Work beg*ari on clearing* and grading* the road to the camp early . last October. The building-s consist of a dwelling--house and office for the superintendent, three bunk-houses,, store and cook house, blacksmith shop, . coal shed, powder house, larg-e barn, two small cabins at the tunnels, etc. Actual mining- commenced early in November. No free g*old is noticeable in the rock, but experienced mill men say that stamping- will bring- it out. There are 12 men on the pa}- roll, besides the superintendent. There are three claims on the same ledg*e, the Victoria, California and Queen, all owned by the Rock Creek Mines Co. Development work 'has only been done on the Victoria, except that done in the early days. The company have put more than half their shares in the treasury, but there are as yet no shares on the market. A limited number will, it is understood, be offered f or ��� sale when it is known what will be the probable expenditure necessary for development and the erection of a reducing- plant. The managing* eng-ineer of the company is expected in directly snow g*oes. ��� '' ��� MINING NOTES. The crosscut tunnel on the Combination has reached a distance of 20 feet from the mouth. A party composed of Messrs. Mliler, Gordon, Gloug*h, Fdwards and Garrison have left to prospect up Kettle river. F. A. Bartholomew struck a g*ood body of sulphide ore last week on the Jubilee, on Eholt creek. A shaft is being- sunk on the claim. Mr. McCarren intends to utilise the water power at Boundary Falls and is now preparing* to lay pipes. It is possible that works of some kind for treating- free milling* ore will be established in the vicinity of the fall this summer. ineral Glasses and Prospecting Compasses.

Mr. Phelan has enlarg-ed his house on Government street by the addition of two rooms. Mr. G. B. Taylor has opened the new store at Rock Creek and is already doing a capital business. Messrs. McKague & James have greatly improved their bath rooms and have added new appliances for heating water quickly. Mr. Paton moved into his new house on Greenwood street on Wednesday.. The building is one of the neatest and most comfortably arranged residential houses in Greenwood. Mr. J. C.Haas, who returned from Spokane on Sunda}', states that there is a great rush to the Fort Steele country which is "now being furiously boomed,, not however without good cause. A confectionery establishment is to be opened shortly on Copper street by Miss Brennan,who has a reputation for skill as w pastry cook A paint shop has also been-added to the places of business on Copper street. A number of people from Greenwood took advantage of the glorious weather on ^Monday and formed a picnic-party, spending the day at Midway. A most enjoyable time was passed, notwithstanding the waters of Kettle river were too muddy to afford successful fishing. Harry Rose, a freighter on the Penticton route, was ten days making his last trip to Greenwood. If culverts were put in at different places on the road the journey could be done now in a little more than half that time. The cost of j)utting in the necessary culverts would liot exceed |5150.. Those who have not alreadj- made application to have their names placed - on the provincial voters' list are notified that forms may be obtained from Mr. Hallett, Mr. Black, or Mr. L,amb. It is most imperative that the name of every eligible voter in the district be registered. On Monday Messrs. Rendell & Co. employed a. force of men to improve the road between Carson and Greenwood. This step had become absolutely necessary, since freighters from Marcus have refused (owing to the condition of the road over the summit of Boundary mountain) to haul beyond Carson, and consequently- several wagon loads of goods consigned to the firm have been left at that place during the past two weeks. It is a strange and at the same time most undesirable state of affairs when private firms are compelled to g-o to the expense of maintaining the public roads, paying taxes meanwhile. The wholesale business houses of Spokane are beginning to make strenuous efforts to secure the Boundary Creek trade, and ever}' week representatives of the larger firms arrive in Greenwood soliciting orders. Mr. E. E. Williams, representing Holley, Mason, Marks & Co., a large firm of hardware merchants with headquarters in Spokane, who visited the district for the first time this week, said that the trains running- between Spokane and Marcus are literally crowded with passengers bound���for the most part���for Boundary Creek.

Mr. Williams found the roads to be by no means in so bad a condition as he was informed at Marcus was the case. He hopes to visit the district regularly at intervals of 60 days in future. THE SPRING OUTLOOK. ������'���'"���' [contributed:] '",.".. In conversation with a number of parties who have recently been in Rossland and the Slocan country, wte are informed that it will not be long now before this country will be at its height-of a firm and lasting business boom.,, Inquiries are being made daily regarding the condition of the roads, and the amount of snow in the mountains, and when it would be advisable for men looking- for business locations and mining investments to visit this section. As a rule the class coming here are men of means; who have in view a permanent residence or investment in mining property1; and it is well to understand that there is little ^demand for any others1, as the country is well supplied with people who depend on their labor for a living. It is true there is a large population in Rossland but a large per cent, of the people are without any means of support and many would not work were they encouraged to do so. It is the same in all new towns adjacent.to a railroad. This cotintry is too far away to catch this undesirable class of people at present ; but there are-scores of g"ood enterprising citizens anxious to come, and to these it is necessary to explain that it is yet too early to get out into the hills and see the mines or to prospect. If the present; weather continues the country will soon be relieved of its burden of snow and there will then be no trouble or drawbacks to easy access to any part of the country;, The work done on the principal mines of the Boundary Creek district this winter is a sufficient guarantee that we can show more ore and larger bodies of mineral in this district than any other part of the province, and capitalists and investors are beginning to realize this. Greenwood, as a central point in this vast mineral section, is j already well known, and when the people do commence coming into the country it will keep the citizens here busy taking care of them. A glimpse of half-a-dozen properties in Greenwood, Copper, Deadwood and other camps will soon convince them that the Boundary Creek country has never been over-estimated or exag-gerated.

The dramatic entertainment committee reported that the casts, in. the comedy "Turn him out," to be given about the 15th*inst., had been filled and the parts assig-ned. Messrs. Keffer and Miller were appointed a committee to secure a further lease of the club rooms. Mr. F. E. Baton, of Walla Walla, and Mr. F. N. Alexander, of Portland, were visitors at Wednesday's meeting. Leaving for Winnipeg. Mr. H. M. Irwin, who has acted as a missionary of the Presbyterian church in Boundary for the past twelve months leaves probably next week to complete his course in theology at Winnipeg. During the time in which he has resided in the district he has won the warm esteem and respect of the entire community, who unite in wishing him every success and happiness in the calling for which he is so well fitted. Mr. Irwin's successor, Mr. Eee, arrived on Wednesday, and is yet undecided whether to make his headquarters at Greenwood or Midway. FINANGIAL ANDMINING BROKERS.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-05-01 |
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. |
