Copper Street, Greenwood, ALMOST COMPLETED GRADE OF C. c_ W. RAIL.WAY The Chief Engineer and his Assistant Make a Tour of Inspection.���When Trains May/Be Expected In Greenwood. "Are we going to win our overcoats, Mr, Tye?"- The questioners were residents of Greenwood who had sufficient confidence in the ability of Mr. Tye, the chief engineer, and the railway contractors,' to wager ten $45 overcoats with a 'gentleman, from the east that there would be a railway engine in Greenwood before the first of September.' -'.... '"';���'.' "I will lose-a good deal more than ten overcoats unless the railway'is completed to Greenwood before that date," war Mr. 'Tye's reply. ' Mr. Tye and his chief associate J. i G. Sullivan arrived in Greenwood Sat- ��� urday night. They had just completed ��� a tour of inspection over the the railway. ..They left West Robson and rode on the work train to the long '.tunnel, above Brooklyn. From the end of the track at this point they .walked to Cascade 'and from there rode on horseback to Greenwood. "The work is progressing at a rapid , rate," said Mr. Tye to a Times representative, "when it is considered that the Columbia and Western railway is the most difficult piece of road building ever attempted in Canada.������'��� The track is now laid on the switchback over the big tunnel and is coming westward at the rate of a mile a day. This rate will'be increased in a short time. We expect-to have the track in Cascade before the 10th of June and in Greenwood two months ' later. The bridges over Mission creek and Porcupine creek are practicaliy completed. The roadbed will not delay tracklaying as there is completed a stretch to Gladstone and the balance of the work will be finished in time to continue track- laying without interruption. Mr. Sullivan" agrees with Mr. Tye's conclusion in reference to the completion of the road and figures August 10 as the date when the people of Greenwood:will greet the shrill whistle of the railway engine.';. When it is considered that not more than 16 months elapseds ince Mr. Tye and his engineers began the Lwork of running the location lines for 105 miles of railway through a wild and mountainous country, the progress made is indeed phenomenal. Mr. Tye started location work in February, 1898, and in June following Mann, Foley Bros & L,afson were awarded .the contracts and began the work of construction. The., responsibility for . the' work- rested primarily on the shoulders of Mr. Tye, the chief engineer. He'has' made ah enviable record that caunot but be appreciated by the Canadian Pacific company. CONTROLS THE WAR EAGLE. F. P. Buck, a Quebec Capitalist. Makes a Visit to Greenwood- Two years ago the Boundary Creek Times published that Mr. Graves had succeeded in floating the Knob Hill company in Montreal. The president of the company was F. P. Buck, president of the Royal Paper mills. During the two years changes have taken place in the personnel of the directors of the Knob Hill company. When the company-was first organized Mr. Wc 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, GBEB1WWOOD, 3.<P, Buck held a controlling interest. He has since sold the greater portion of his stock for a large'figure. The ex-" perience was so satisfactory that Mr. Buck decided to take another chance in Boundary Creek district. He succeeded in acquiring an controlling interest in the War Eagle mine adjoin- ' ing the Knob Hill and arrived here last week to look over the property and generally size up the situation ��� in Boundary Creek. From present indications, the- War Eagle is likely to prove a second Knob Hill. Of course without development work it is hard to arrive at a definite conclusion but the surface showings are similar to those on the Knob Hill._ Mr, Buck is also a shareholder in the Buckhorn company recently organized to develop the Buckhorn claim in Deadwood camp. Rufus Pope, M. P., has a controlling, interest in this cotn- pano. Mr. Pope will arrive in the district about June 10. Speaking about- the investment of. capital in Boundary creek mines, Mr. Buck stated . that the eastern investor profited by his experience in Kootenay ��� The great trouble in that district was. ,not so much worthless-"properties as ; bad ���_ management' in ; the flotation" of companies. . Treasury stock was sold;~ at such a loyr* figure that sufficient money-was not available for'the .proper development of the mine and fail-, ure was the result. , No such mistake was made in the War Eagle company None of the stock was sold for less than' -fifteen cents, giving ample funds for the -purchase ,of machinery and the placing of the .mine On a shipping, basis.' -'.Boundary creek had treated the eastern market generously and if the wildcatter is kept' in the background there will be plenty of eastern nioney available for the purchase of Boun- 'dary Creek properties. An effort will be made t<5 secure a first-class man to act as superintend- -' ent of "both "tfte War Eagle and the Buckhorn companies. Development on a large scale will shortly begin on both the properties. c Mr. Buck is accompanied by J. C. Hodgson <t Montreal- business man. Mr. Hodgson has taken the precaution to examine and enquire before making investments. '.'When you see large bodies of ore blocked out in such properties as the Mother Lode and Knob Hill one cannot but be convinced that Boundary Creek is, one of the largest and most promising mining ,camps in the world," expressed Mr. Hodgson's , view of the district.

The liquor license regulation by-law was finally passed at the regular meeting of the city- council held Monday evening. The clause allowing restaurants the right'to sell liquor was struck out after considerablediscussion. The fees to be paid for licenses for every six months follows: Wholesale, $75; hotels with 20 rooms and over, $200; hotels with less than 20 rooms, $300; special licenses for picnics, etc., $20; transferred $20. Saloon licenses will not be permitted until the city has a population of 10,000. C. J. McArthur applied to have Kirh- berley avenue stumped bstween Dead- wood and Providence street. The application was granted. Goupil & Holden, signwriters, painters, paperhangers, etc., etc., etc. Invite Them to Boundary Creek. The members of the Canadian Mining Institute will visit Kootenay in September and will hold a meeting in Nelson. The railroad will be completed to Greenwood by that time. Would it hot be a good idea to invite them to visit this district. The Cana- diac Pacific Railwsy company will, we are quite sure, offer every inducement to the members of the institute to visit Boundary Creek Mine owners and others interested should take up the matter and see that the members of the institute are invited here and royally "entertained when they come here. <It will be seen by the programme arranged by Secretary Bell that two days are allowed for a visit to the Rainy River district if the members desire. These two days could be better spent in examining the mines of this district, THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, * H. HALLETT. Q0amefer, ��?oftct��ot, NOTARY PUBLIC.

WEDNESDAY, MAY'24, 1899. THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. THE min_ owners in the. vicinity of Nelson and the Slocan have 'organized for the purpose of reducing- the wages of miners working underground immediately upon the enforcement of the eight hour law. They have issued a manifesto in which they state that the enforcement of the law means reduc- , ing the hours of, labor in mines from twenty hours a day to sixteen hours, as many of the mines cannot work three shifts to advantage and the reduction to S3.00 per day is therefore necessary. The miners are also organizing and will probably refuse to accept this reduction. Both parties, the employer and employed have rights ��� in the matter. The mine owner has ! a right to say what he shall pay and the iiiiner'what he shall accept. The ��� question of wages cannot be regulated I bylaw. It must be a matter of arrangement. In the interests of the* country and the parties more directly concerned it is of the utmost importance that there should be no friction. In the Boundary creek country, the ' law should .make but little difference , Most mines are working eight' hour shifts at the present time and we have sufficient confidence in the mine owners to believe that they will not attempt to make the enforcement of the eight hour law an excuse to reduce wages.' We think in their own interest .the mine owners of Slocan will make a serious error unless they show -a wil lingness to make a fair and* reasonable compromise with the men and the men will be equally foolish if they at- ��� tempt to force their views upon the owners without an opportunity to arrive at some conclusion that will meet the views of both parties. The eight hour law has been introduced' in other mining districts. It created some dissatisfaction at fiist but in time these differences were wiped out. Th$"exercise of reason and judgment by both sides at the outset will prevent any friction. In the event of trouble, a victory for either side would be dearly purchased.

Manly of Grand Forks Interviewed by the Toronto Globe. The following' from the ' Toronto Globe will be read with considerable interest and 'some astonishment by residents of Boundary creek.: ���"Mayor John A. Manly of Grand ' 2?orks, B. C, and Mr. E. Armstrong, .���President of the Board of Trade of; the, western city, are in the city, after spending several days at Ottawa in the interests of the new railway connection -ivhich has been secured by Grand _**brks. Both gentleman are very enthusiastic over the decision of Mr. Jay Pi Graves to locate the Granby smelter at Grand Forks, and also the guarantee which was given them "by the Minister of Railways that the station of the new railway line would be located in Grand Forks, to suit the convenience of the citizens. "Grand Forks is going ahead rapid- j ly," said Mayor Manly, to a representative of the Globe yesterday. "It is the geographical centre of the Boundary countary, and also the centre of the Kettle river valley, the most fertile -spot in British Columbia. This spring a number of fruit-growers from Ont-' ario are coming in to begin farming in ' the valley, where several large farms are already located. By July i the. extension of the Crown's ' Nest Pass Railway .will be running into the town,: and of course will have a great effect on the place. It is the opinion of-such well-known smelting and mining men as James Shields of Anaconda, Mr. ' "Austin of Denver, Mr. .Nutting of Lead ville, F; August Heinze ' and D. C.Corbin that there will be a dozen smelters in and around Grand Forks within the next five or six years, giving employment to 10,000 men, and "..that within a radius of 25 miles of Grand Forks there will be employed underground in the mines 50,000 'men. To show the permancy and solidity of the country and the favor in which it. it is held by capitalists, I might state: that the Gugenheimers, the largest, smelting firm in the world, have purchased 36 mining properties in the Boundary country, upon which they are doing development work; the Pilot Smelting company of Butte have some fourteen properties that they are ' developing, the Lexington Smelting company of Butte are interested in Summit, .and,.,Central camp; Mr. Corbin, Mr. Heinze, Messrs. Finch & Campbell :and dozens of other mining men are investing their money in the district. Arid when such well-known men "and companies as these are investing it should give confidence to the eastern Canadian public iri the Boundary coun try, the richest mining district in southern British Columbia." "How is the climate ?" Mr. Manly was asked. "The winters are very, mild in the Kettle river valley; cattle are able to - graze all through the cold season, which is usually of only three months' duration! March there is almost the same as,the weather here at present." Mr. Manly is the proprietor, of the ���Yale, a'$40,000 hotel;, which has just been erected in Grand Forks, and while in Toronto he purposes to spend about $20,000 on furniture and interior fittings for it." . , THE REPUBLIC ROAD. A dispatch received yesterday from the special correspondent of the Spokesman Review at Davenport is an indication that it is the intention of the Great Northern to build its branch to Republic up the San Poil. The dispatch also . bears out the suggestion made in this paper several weeks ago that the Great Northern will endeavor to secure the old Seattle, Lake Shore, & Eastern right- of-way and roadbed. The dispatch follows:��� "Davenport, Wash., May 17���The Great Northern company is connecting the old Seattle line with the main line at Waukon and getting it in shape to be used when the line is completed between Republic and Davenport." The most remarkable feature about this news is the strange action of the Northern Pacific in letting the old Seattle, L,ake Shore, & Eastern road go to the Great Northern. So far as the local records show the Northern Pacific is yet the owner, the deed of the property to it from the Spokane & Seattle Railway company, successor of the old Seattle, Lake Shore, & Eastern Railroad company, having recently been filed with the county auditor of Spo- ane county. The acquirement of the property by the Great Northern gives that company 45 miles of completed railroad, which, it is thought, will form a portion of its Republic extension. Despite, the fact that surveys are being made in different localities, this news will strengthen the belief that . the.Republic extension will be over the following route : From Spokane to Devenport over the old'Seattle-Lake Shore track, over a part of which the Great Northern now gains entrance to Spokane; from Davenport along the grades of Hawk creek to Hell Gate rapids on the Columbia; cross the Columbia by bridge and go up the valley of the San Poil.

MarlS 9 ''' >>"': '- " <���' THE BOUNDAKY CREEK TIMES. THE SUVilLKAMEEN COUNTRY. . J. R. Rea has returned from the Similkameen country, where he has been on a prospecting trip since early in May. He reports that there are a large number of prospectors in that section, and that new locations are being made every day. The agents of capitalists are following in the wake of the prospectors. Among those who have recently visited that section are Dr. Deeks of Montreal, Ex-governor Dewdney, and others, who are there for the purpose of acquiring 'properties for themselves or for principals. The present centres of activity are 20-!iii!e Creek, Tulameen River Camp, and Copper Mountain. At. 20-mile Creek about 100 locations have been made recently. The ore found there is principally arsenical iron carrying free gold. The ledges are from four to live feet in width. The Nickel Plate property is among the best in the camp. The ore on this'property assays as high as $300 to'the .ton. It is owned by a Spokane company, which is actively engaged in developing it. The Bonter Brothers of Rossland own: the Anaconda group of three claims here. One ledge on the Anaconda claims is three feet in width, and the,ore from this gives assays of as high as 3285 in gold to the ton. The other, ledge, which is parallel to the first, is of copper ore, 18 feet in width, and carrying shipping values. There are 50 locations in the Tulameen River Camp. Among the better claims is the Magor. The oreifrom the Magor is a white quartz carrying copper and gold. It assays as high as $350 to the ton. The City of Paris group of three claims is a promising one. There are two veins on this group. The ore is similar to that found on the Magor, and the ledges are five feet in width. The Hidden Treasure Mining company of Rossland has several claims of a promising character in this camp, and work on them has already commenced. Thos. Rabbit who owns the Bonanza Queen in this camp, asks $40,000 for it. There are a large number of locations on .Copper Mountain. Some": of these were taken up 12 years since. There is considerable activity on this miiuiit tin, and although the snow is i....t''quite gone, there is a great deal of work in progress. When the snow is completely gone, there will be much more work done, and the mountain is cerlain to be the scene of a great deal of activity during the coming open season, as several companies intend to begin operations there. ..���' It is expected in the Similkameen country that as soon as the Canadian Pacilic finishes construction into the Boundary Creek country that it will commence building into the Similka-. meen country, and it is thought that there will be railway transportation there within two years. The distance from Midway is about 100 miles. ��� Rossland Miner. The Oro Denero. A meeting of the King Mining company, which is operating- the famous Oro Denoro property in Summit camp, in the Boundary Creek country, was held at its office in the Burns block, in this city yesterday. Ross Thompson, the vice-president, and Angus MacNish acted as secretary. The business transacted was the decision arrived at to purchase from James D. Sword, of the James Cooper Manufacturing company, a five-drill compressor, so that the property may be properly developed. The plant is to consist of a large horizontal tubular buik-r, hoisting engine, sinking pump and a live-drill compressor, with drills. This plant will be shipped immediately from Rossland, as the company from whom it was ordered have had the plant in stock here. It was thought that this plant should be in operation within a month from the time of shipment from this city. This property, the management claims, promises to become a mine of considerable importance. The surface showing is scarcely equalled, it is claimed by any property in the same stage of development in the Boundary creek country. The ore is a chalco- pyrite, carrying fair values in silver, and a little gold, the principal value being found in the copper. The ore is particularly amenable to concentration, having a soft gangtie, and will be valuable to smelters requiring- copper in a: base gangtie. The company intends to push the sinking of the shaft, which is now down 102 feet on to the 500-feet level, and there will be crossctttting and developing the veins at the usual levels. There is every reason to believe by the time the railroad reaches or a very short time thereafter, that the Oro Denero will .be in a position to ship ore,���Rossland Miner. ^?ttmm!mw?.?mm??.m?mmtm Head Office and Works at Belleville, Ont.

We are not now in a position to state these extra- rates definitely, but we have every, assurance that they, will not exceed one- half the regular rates." Government House Burned. Victoria, May 19.���The fire, which completely destroyed Carey Castle the official residence of the lieutenant- governor, this morning, was the fourth that has occurred during Mr. Mclnnes' occupanc3', all from the same cause, a defective flue. Attempts to remedy the defect have been made, ��� but without- success, the age of the chimney, no doubt, causing many.weak spots. The fire was discovered by the private secretary, who heard the crackling of the flames in the attic and telephoned for the brigade, but the old house burned like tinder and the firemen could do little. Lieutenant-Governor Mclnnes had time only to get out with the clothes he had on. "I do not think I have anymore than I stand in." he said, "save iny uniform, which I managed to throw out when the alarm was first given, I have lost all my clothing and a great deal else besides. How much, I ually 'could not give any information on that point. Some. of the furniture was saved, quite a lot, thanks to"the workers who helped to, remove it. Some of that in. the bedrooms and; the upper parts of the building, though, will be lost. Mrs. Mclnnes has ' lost considerable, besides her , clothing, and other things she has, and jewels. As to what papers have been lost. I can not say ; now. Some of the.official papers have beenlost and some .were saved." '���;" The amount of insurance is $12,000, $4,000 of which is. oil the "'furniture. The value of the building and _;jnteuts ��� is placed roughly at 525,000. The building destroyed was built in 1859 by G-.'H. Carey, the attorney-general at that time for the crown colony of British Columbia at a cost of $36,000. ;' It was first, occupied as the govern*- meut house by Lieutenant-Governor Kennedy, who succeeded Sir James Douglas. He lived at- the old Driard until the castle was completed. It was designed and built' by Fred Walter Green. The ball room, the only saved portion of the building, was added to the main building by Governor Seymour in the early sixties. The provincial executive met this afternoon to consider the question of providing a residence for the lieutenant-governor, but no decision has yet been arrived at.

Beaverton is the terminus* of the West Fork branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, there are no other branches in that part of the country.

But nearby was a hat which, had been left behind by another member of the club, This member it appeared on enquiry had taken the plantiffs hat not being able to find his own, The plains tiff went and bought a $2,50 hat, Sent the bill to the other member, The other declined to pay and so was brought into court, The die* fendant submitted that the whole affair was a ^j trifling mistake and that he was not liable in law. The Judge thought differently. He said it is not a mistake The defendant saw a hat he knew was not his and took it He gave judges ment for $1.75 in favor of plantiff the sum which the latter's missing hat had cost MORAL Buy your hats from R & Co they are different from other hats, and have them put your name in it ____. ____,&___ <0_�� Ita/^a/a GREENWOOD AND DISTRICT.

THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. Probably the Queen's birthday' is celebrat-d with greater enthusiasm in Canada than in any of the other British possessions. It is not surprising that this should be the case. When Victoria ascended the throne her soldiers were, engaged in the work of quelling that rebeilion'of a handful of misguided patriots who took up arms in their struggle for responsible'government. During the queen's reign Canada has grown from separate colo- nies.peopled with quarrelsome factions, to a strong and powerful nation. Four nations welded into one, with .long, historic past, Have found inthese, our western wilds, one common life at last: Throuirh the: younjf iriaut's mighty limbs, that stretch from sea to sea, There runs a throb of conscious life���of waking- energy. He wakes���a baud of cultured homes and colonies no more, But a young nation with her life full beating- in her breast. A'noble picture in her eyes���the Britain of the west. Little wonder that the Canadians should celebrate the birthday of that noble lady.who spent sixty-two years of the eighty years of her life keeping a watchful eye over a young colony yet leaving it free and untramelied to work out its own destiny.
