A Well Known Summit Camp Property Chances Hands���Mr. Bucke or Montreal Secures Control of War Eagle.���Assayer for Similkameen. D. H. Beecher president of the First National Bank, Grand Forks, North Dakota, and treasurer of the Winnipeg Gold Mining Company, Duncan Mcintosh, president and manager of the same company, D. A. Cameron, manager of the Greenwood branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, Dr. J. F. Reddy and J. Percival, two of Spokane's most successful mining men make up a sufficiently strong aggregation to float any "wild cat" but when they acquire one of the most promising properties in Summit camp, and intend organizing a company to develop it, the flotation is sure to be as successful as any connected with Boundary creek properties. For some time J. W. Cheer the one armed prospector, has been industuriously at work opening up the rich ledges of the Homestake claim in summit camp. He sank shafts,ran tunnels and opened cuts and secured good values. On Thursday afternoon he closed a deal with the gentlemen -whose names are given above, and now stands to be handsomely rewarded for years of hard work under exceptional difficulties. The Homestake joins the Emma on the west, about ' eight miles from Greenwood city. It is located at the foot of a steep hillside, and can be easily opened up by a tunnel. The line of the Columbia & Western railway passes underneath the present ore dump on the property. Mr. Cheer ran a tunnel for a distance of 71 feet into - the mountain. On the bench above he sunk several shafts, one 26 feet deep, another 12 feet and a third about 10 feet. There is also a open cut on one of the ledges for a distance of 37 feet. The Homesteak appears to contain several parrell ledges, some of them of great width. It is difficult to determine the character of these ledges until some work is done as the surface of the claims is covered with several feet of wash. In the 26 foot shaft there is four and a half feet of solid ore which has yielded assays as high as $62.40 in all values. Like most of the big Sum- mil camp properties, the Homestake carries good copper values. One of the ledges on the Homestake has been traced to the Oro Denero claim in the immediate vicinity. The purchase price for the property has not been made public. It includes a substantial cash consideration and shares in the company that will be organized to take over the property. I,. A. Campbell, the manager of the West Kootenay Power & Light company is the authority for the statement that his company intend supplying power to the mines of Boundary creek. The line carrying electricity is to be' extended to this city. Mr. Campbell stated that the new line to here will follow the old Dewdney trail to Cascade city thence to Grand Forks, Columbia and Greenwood City in as direct a. line as possible. At Greenwood City, where will be located a sub-station, branch lines -will be constructed to Deadwood, Copper, Summit, Greenwood, Wellington and other camps, as required to supply electrical power to the mines. The Columbia townsite people���or the city���may arrange to utilize the power for electric lighting ���f A�� We now have a large assortment of Rods, Reels, Lines, Hooks, Leaders, Fly Books, Grasshoppers, Cans, Etc, Etc SMITH & McRAE'S, Books, Stationeiy, Wallpaper, Notions and Fancy Goods, GREENWOOD, B.Q, their town. AtBonnington Falls the, hydraulic and electrical work is at present developed to supply 5000 horsepower. This if necessary can be immediately increased according to the demand up to 80,000 horse-power. With the present power the company will supply the smelter at Trail; the electricity for lighting Rossland and power for the War Eagle, Big Three, Iron Mask and Gertude mines in that camp and the Bullion Extraction works at Silica, using some 2600 horse-power. With the proposed extension into the Boundary creek country the company, figure on a further -iii-roav of 2400 _, horse-power, or up to the present capacity of the plant. The line direct'] from Bonnington Falls through to Greenwood City will be a double three- phase one, so that in case of any mis- h.ip on one-set of lines the current can be switched off on to the other. Mr. - Campbell could not state definitely how soon they could start work on the new line, as he understood there is yet r considerable- snow- on the summit of the Dewdney trail. The ' Kootenay Power & Light company have already made contracts to supply power to some of the local mines. The Knob Hill aud Old Ironsides intend utilizing this power to operate the SO-drill compressor which was recently ordered. F. P. Bucke of Montreal will arrive here in a few days. He is heavily interested in the Knob Hill, the War Eagle and adjoining claims, also in the Buckhorn. The War Eagle company was recently incorporated by W. T.Smith and others'but Mr. Bucke' secured a controlling interest for a, Montreal company of which he is pre- president.G. H. Fletcher vice-president and C. A. French secretary. Mr. Bucke was in Spokane a few days ago and is now in Rossland. He stated that Montreal was, taking a great, interest in western mines and he anticipates that this interest will grow as those who have-already 'invested met with success. The Montreal investors prefer dividend payers but are willing to develop promising prospects. Plain Anglo-Saxon. Lord Beaconsfield once said that Mr. Gladstone was "an egotistical rhetorician inebriated with the exuberance of his own ' verbosity." Lately Mr. Justice ,. Martin immortalized "the British minerals (other than coal) act," by stating that he "took the view that ��� speedy finality -of- litigation and a quietude of title with all celerity are the dominant policy of the miaeral act."���Western Mining World. That's easy���Not long ago 'Geo. ��A. Guess, M. A., and J. C. Haas, M. E., hypnotized an Irish compositor in the Boundary Creek Times office with the following sentence supposedly descriptive of Boundary creek. "Altered sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, occurring with numerous eruptive ^"porphyries" and "diorites," flank the basal granites which occupy the upper portion of the creek." Next! *���?">'' -==--_==-===-_=_____: TWO HANDSOME BUILDINGS. Rendell & Co.'s and J. W. Powell's Blocks are ' a Credit to the City. No better criterion of the permanency of a town can be found than the class of buildings which are erected therein. Cheap buildings are usually built in a town that will enjoy only a short spell of prosperity. Experienced business men fully realize, however, that Greenwood is the metropolis of a big mining district, that it will continue to be the business centre of the Boundary Creek district, and are building accordingly. Rendell & Co's three story building, which is ncaring completion, is being generally admired by the many visitors to the city. The design is perfect, and no better setting for one of the principal business corners of the city could be suggested. Another building that is a credit to the city is J. W. Powell's handsome hotel on Government street. Good progress is also being made on this building, and it will be completed about July 1. Keough's hotel on Government street is also a substantial structure. The Bealey Investment & Trust company's new building on Copper street is receiving its finishing touches. It has been leased by H. B. Munroe, and the ground floor will be occupied by him. Madden & Dalles are erecting a large addition to the Pacific Hotel. Several other buildings are being erected. Carpenters are kept busy, and the sawmill men are happy. *Wr;�� W'P /'��� l - -, AA . , 1 THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, /. H. HALLETT, Q&drrisfcr, ^oficifor, , NOTARY PUBLIC.'

Deadman island a small piece of land that is separated from' Stanley- park, Vancouver, when the tide comes in, is furnishing- the people of the coast with plenty' excitement. J. C. McLagan et al were'always anxious to get the island as a site for a marine railway or any other industry that'' could be used as a stalking- horse behind which the islantl'coiilcl be secured by private individuals. Mac is not much of a success at that kind of thing. He makes too hhi:1i noise. One Theo. L,utlgate, representing American capital, went to the Rev. Geo. R. Maxwell, M. P. The Rev. George promised to help him and he journeyed to Ottawa with Ludgate. Their mission was successful and Mr. Ludgate by paying- $500 a year was allowed to mar the beauty of Stanley park by erecting- a saw mill on Dead- man's island. Then the MaEagan crowd shouted that it was a disgrace to g-ive the island to'a. private individual. The island belonged to Vancouver anyway and the Dominion government had no right to grant a lease. A delegation was sent to Ottrwa but the government wasotstihate . nd Ludg-ate was confirmed in his lease'. He started to clear the sig-ht for the mill but was arrested by city policemen. Hon. Joseph Martin took a hand in the fight as Ludg-ate's counsel and he soon made short work of the city's contention. Joseph was getting- along- swimmingly when Francis Carter-Cotton appeared upon the scene. Mr. Carter-Cotton loves not Joseph and he searched the archives of the province with a view to finding' something that would show that Deadman island belonged to the city,:SHe succeeded and at once announced that the province would take steps to maintain her rights to the island. The attorney-general could not agree with the chief commissioner and said so but the chief commissioner was obdurate and the disruption of the cabinet was imminent. Joe Martin with that wonderful versatility that carried him over worse places, deserts Ludgate and acts as attorney-general. Ludgate received word from Ottawa to go ahead and the Dominion government would protect him. He started to work with a force of men when his ex-counsel appeared on the island with a squad of provincial policemen. Ludgate refused tc stop the work and refused to be arrested. Joe gave orders to his men and s'jon Ludgate found himself in jail with a badly battered face and bruises elsewhere. Politics makes strange enemies as well as' bed fellows and a Deadman's island may be anything- but a quiet spot. '���'/���''.. When one knows everything, experience . cannot bring knowledge. The mayor's rulings are just as' irregular asthey were in January last. It was decided to have the monej' bylaws election on May 22nd. It was afterwards found that this date did give the ten days notice required by law. At the dictation of the mayor the minute was changed to read the 27th and then adopted as amended. For a smaller irregularity than this money by-laws have been invalidated.

More �� ,iculars Regarding tlie Rich Strike on / the Property. / has just been received at this .ays the Columbia Review, that body, 12 feet in width, of chal- cop3'rite, with which is intermixed considerable grey copper, has just been opened out at the 70 foot level on the Golden Eagle. This is one of the most important strikes ever made in the Boundary country. There is no doubt that the ore is of high value, and the body a vast one and that the Golden E}agle from now on will rank among the banner mines of the northwest. r. The Golden Eagle is situated near the Volcanic, and was bonded from Mr. C. Tobiason last fall by Messrs. Fox and Moulton-Barrett of Greenwood, who have been steadily developing it ever since. That their, work has been rewarded by the most complete success, is gratifying to the entire country, and should stimulate others to J>ersevere in the development of, their properties. This strike on the Golden Eagle is an- 1 other evidence of the rich character of the North Fork section. Many properties of recognized high grade are situated in the immediate vicinity of the Golden Eagle, among them the great Volcanic, Midnight, Earthquake and English and French. A little further on is the Christena, Pathfinder, Mammoth and Diamond Hitch; and a great number of other high grade properties which will within a comparativ- ly short time make the North Fork famous throughout the mining world. The assay values from the above strike ran over $1000 per ton in gold and about ten per cent, copper. To say the least, not only these high values bnt> the enormous body of ore from which they are obtained,is simply surprising. L/OST.���A souvenir Steamer. Beaver cufflink.

Regarding, the Deadman island question referred- to elsewhere ;,Hon- Joseph Martin has this to say concerning the action of Hon. Mr. Cotton : "I was very much surprised at ��� that portion of Mr. Cotton's telegram to Mayor Garden which appeared in the News-Advertiser this morning,' in which he states that the only course for the provincial government is to wait until the question of title is settled, and then sell the island on the best terms obtainable for the province, without regard to Mr. L,udgate. The government had'a meeting on Thurs- . dag last, at which ithis matter was very carefully discussed, but no conclusion was arrived at. The stand taken by Mr. Cotton as above outlined expresses his own views and not those of the government. My idea is that under the very peculiar circumstances of this case, while the government must protect the interests of the pro- ���rince, it must be careful to do nothing which would have the effects of hilling- the enterprise which Mr. Ludg-ate proposes to establish. '���I hope it will be understood by the public that I do not take this stand at at all because I happen to be Mr. Ettd- gate's solicitor, but because I am one of Vancouver's '��� representatives, and am bound to ��� promote as far as possible the best interests of my constituency. "It is quite clear that if the government refuses to deal with the matter until the question of law between it and the Dominion government is settled, Mr. Eudgate will be obliged to look elsewhere or a location, as it is not likely that such a questioncan be settled for a good many months to come. As the local government lias stood by for twelve years and allowed everybody to think that (lie Do-minion government owned this property, i would appear to be a very unfair thing to offer the island for sale without taking precautions to ensure the erection ' of some kind of a manufactory there which would give the city the same benefits it has been led to expect from Mr. Eudgate's enterprise."

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1899-05-20 |
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. |
