Vol, II, GREENWOOD CITY, B,C��� SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1897, 36 No, 10, TOPICS- TOR-THE" WEEK. E very strongly doubt if there is a single individual having resided for any length of time in- Boundary who has not at some period during that time experienced a feeling of depression at the thought of the slow progress made in the development of the resources of the district. Go to a man at such a time and remark : " Well, things are looking up a bit; we're going to have a good summer, don't you think ?" If he doesn't smite you where you stand he will answer, " L/Ookinigcup ? .Oh; with you cheerful idiots it?s always the same , thing :I' Wait till next s_5ring, or next summer, or next'fall, and you'll see good times.' Wait, indeed ; why,.I've waited till I'm tired !" Few people have Mark Tapley's happy disposition, and when one knows that within a limited area exist deposits of mineral which once developed and transportaion afforded by railroads will make Boundary Creek the greatest copper- gold producing camp in the world, the trial to patience is somewhat taxed. Nevertheless the task can be made a great deal easier when it is remembered that the camp enjoys this unique and enviable position : That without a single exception every mining man of repute who has visited the district and expressed an opinion upon its ^potentialities has spoken in the most eulogistic terms of the magnificent future of the camp. to assume all responsibility for goods until they have been passed through the customs. We have here a capital opportunity of contrasting American with Canadian enterprise. The C.P.R. had last winter every chance of besting their competitors had they chosen to seize the opportunity when it occurred. As they failed to do so they must abide by the consequences of the grasping, penny-wise-pound-foolish policy which they have adopted with regard to this matter. So far as the people of this district are personally concerned, Mr. Corbin's move is hailed with every indication of satisfaction. Its immediate results decrease the cost of carriage _.��_ _J__ _V_ *��? %$ =��ft? We have received a number of enquiries anent the Rath-" mullen Mining Co. Beyond the fact that this company own several undeveloped prospects between the North Fork of Kettle river and Summit camp, arid that the promoters have sold shares in England for one-half the price asked in British Columbia, little other information can be obtained. If the directors of the company can deny the truth of this latter statement, which certainly does not put matters in a too favorable light, we shall be happy to offer them the use of our columns for the purpose. *5fe ���sftf __����� �����;��' As we predicted some weeks ago, prospectors are beginning to flock into the new and apparently promising field up the West Fork of Kettle river. In view of this fact we would suggest to the government the advisability of allowing records to be made at Midway instead of at Osoyoos. As a matter of fact every prospector who has heretofore located a claim on the West Fork has journeyed to Midway for the purpose of making affidavit, the record being sent forward to Osoyoos and an extra fee of 50c. being charged therefor. Fifty cents is not perhaps a large sum, but it is nevertheless rather hard lines that prospectors should be compelled to pay any additional fee. The West Fork was atone time, we understand, included in the Osoyoos Mining Division merely to keep the Osoyoos record office going. Now it is no longer necessary that it should serve this purpose, and the convenience of prospectors alone remains to be consulted. ���SfS. "If ��1% '"if The Spokane Falls & Northern Railway Co., as represented by Mr. Corbin, have not long delayed in taking steps to neutralize���we might say nullify���the efforts put forward by the C.P.R., feebly enough it must be confessed, to secure the bulk of the Boundary Creek trade. As intimated elsewhere, the S. F. & N. have made arrangements for the shipment of goods via Marcus direct to consignees here at a fixed rate, reducing thereby the cost of freighting over this route from 2c. per pound (the present charge) to l#c. Furthermore, the American railroad company agrees from railroad termini ; but beyond this it is exceedingly probable that its influence will be farther reaching and eminently more important, for it will demonstrate to the C.P.R. in an unmistakeable manner that one course, and one course only, is open if the trade with this valuable section is not to be irrevocably lost to the company,���and that is the imperative necessity for the construction of a branch line south from Penticton at once. Sle. Sit. Sit. fit? ">iS ^ji? i ��� ��� ���7ii ������������� The occurrence in a quartz vein in Providence camp of a rare mineral hitherto unknown in the district is reported by Guess Bros. On analysis they found it to be a sulphurous variety of Tetradymite, containing in addition to the bismuth and tellurium, small quantities of lead sulphur and selenium. On reporting its occurrence and sending specimens of it to Dr. Hoffman, chemist of the Geological Survey Department, the analysis was corroborated. This is, we understand, the first bismuth mineral found in Boundary Creek, and the mineral itself is found in only one other place in Canada. From the miners' point of view it is interesting as being usually associated with gold and the tellurides of gold and silver. In appearance it resembles graphite, being foliated in structure and soiling paper. 3ftr .'"if' S'e- "lf~ Among the items appearing in the supplementary estimates laid before the legislature last Thursday we note with pleasure that provision is made to retain the services of a resident physician for the Kettle river division at a salary of $300 per annum. There is also a further appropriation of $2,000 for rpad work in East Yale, and it is therefore reasonable to opine that the urgently required road between Greenwood and the North Fork will be constructed as promised. aSte. __!����� __& "if" '"lf~ . -��A* ' ��� ' ���' The incorporation in the immediate future of Greenwood as a city being now no longer a question of uncertainty, no time should be lost in memorializing the government to the effect that provincial taxes for the current year be not collected from property owners within the designated limits. If precedent is needed to show that the government will accede to a request of this nature from proposed municipalities, it is afforded in the instance of Okanagan Mission four years ago. It is infinitely preferable that the taxes should be remitted than that a monetary grant be made ; first, because the aggregate taxation would probably amount to a sum considerably greater than the grant, if made (which is doubtful) ; and secondly, municipal assessment following the government roll, which has already been revised, >yould be immensely facilitated. s?& sk *��_ At the meeting of the Railway Committee of the House of Commons at Ottawa the Alberta Railway & Coal Company asked for the renewal of a charter for the construction of a railway from Eethbridge, through the Crow's Nest Pass, to Hope. I. 1 fe^^^ll^ THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. SENSIBLE DEFINITIONS. Better late than never are the following amendments to the Mineral Act, introduced by the Hon. the Minister of Mines : To amend section 2 by striking out all.the words after " act " on the nineteenth line, down to and including " act "��� on the twenty-first line, and inserting in lieu thereof the words : " ' Rock in place ' shall be deemed to mean and include minerals, not necessarily in a vein or lode, that is, when discovered in the same, place or location in which it was originally formed or deposited, as distinguished from loose, fragmentary or broken rock or float which, '03' decomposition or erosion of the rock, is found in wash, loose earth, gravel or sand. ^ ' Valuable deposits of mineral ' shall be deemed to mean and include ' mineral in ]jlace in appreciable quantity, having a present or prospective value sufficient to justify exploration.'' The insertion was agreed to. MINING NOTES.' Work is to be resumed shortly,on the Highland Chief. Another vein carrying .copper ore was discovered by the upturning of a tree on the O.B. A party of prospectors were sent up the West Fork of Kettle river by Mr. Garland on Wednesday. Mr. Elliott, representing a NewYork syndicate, is visiting the camp. The Ruby, in Central camp, was bonded to him last March, but as he failed to make a third payment the claim has reverted to the original owners, Messrs. Cook, McMynn and Lyamb. A large cabin 30x18, to be used as a dining-room by the miners, is being built by the Boundary Creek M. & M. Co. on the D.A. ; a blacksmith's shop and bunk houses are also in course of erection. The company intend to increase their working force immediately. The discovery of the Black Diamond claim up the West Fork of Kettle river promises to be important and several parties have left for the locality to find extensions. The ore assayed on the surface $28.90 in lead," silver and gold, the ledge being fully five feet wide. The Falcon, near the No. 7. and one of the most ^promising prospects in Central camp, has been bonded by Frank Gome to Mr. Cowan and his associates. The first payment of 10 per cent. on the bond ise to be met next Monday. Mr. Cowan, on the day following the bonding of the property, was offered $1,000 on his bargain. The Greenwood Gold Mining Co., owning the Anchor and Enterprise claims in L/ong' Eake camp, are sinking a shaft on the Enterprise, one shift only working at present. Some very fair rock is now being taken out and if matters continue promising the company will erect a stamp-mill on the property later in the year. A large quantity of supplies were ordered from the Greenwood Citjr Mercantile Co. and sent up this week to L/ong L/ake camp, where a considerable amount of development work is now being carried on. On Wednesday Messrs. Cameron and Emerson, of Spokane, who purchased last summer the Lakeside, sent up two men to sink a shaft on the property. Some of the assays from the Eakeside run very high.

Cope, a contractor and builder from Vancouver, arrived in Greenwood this, week and will probably reside here permanently. t. Several car-loads of freight consign-. ed to Boundary Creek are lying at Marcus,-the number. of .freighters on the route being insufficient. "The rate from Marcus is now 2c. per pound. , Mr. Hamill's new 2%,-storey building on Copper street is rapidly approaching completion, the builders hoping that the premises will be in readiness' for occupancy by June 1st. The opposition to the incorporation of the town has been very slight, only'. one, we are given to understand, of the registered property owners fefusingto sign the petition which is in circulation. Mr. Robt. Wood has taken Mr. j Hodgson's place on the citizens' committee, Mr. Hodgson having tendered his resignation solely on the grounds of having been dblig'ed to act in the case as a magistrate. The work of preparing the ground to be used as a race-track on the Queen's birthday was commenced on Tuesday. The ..committee have also arranged with Messrs. Sanson! & Hol- bro.ok for the enlargement of their hall adjoining the Pioneer hotel, in which the celebration ball is to be given;' A number of visitors a.re expected to arrive at Greenwood in the course of the next week or so. Among those who have signified an intention of visiting the camp are the Chief Commissioner of Eands and Works (Mr. Mar-, tin), Senator Kirchoifer, Hon T. M... Daly, and Mr. Bealey (of Rossland). In the reference made in our last issue to the salaries paid to postmasters in this district, read $40 per year, instead of per quarter. It is only ��� lately that the salary of the postmaster at Greenwood was increased from $10 a }rear to $40, the magnificent remuneration he now receives for his services. Mr. Morrison's stages again arrive fairly regularly, despite the fact that roads from Marcus are by no means in perfect condition. Mr. Morrison, who as one of the principal owners" in the Washington mine, will doubtless be a very wealthy man before long, does not contemplate continuing at his present business after this summer. .'4�� Greenwood, B.C.

During the last six months he has acted as foreman of the Skylark mine under Mr. Reuger, and has given complete satisfaction. GREENWOOD NEWS AND GOSSIP. A concert is to be given on Saturday, the 22nd inst., to decrease the present debt on the schooi. On Sunday an exciting tug-of-war for a bet of $20 a side, between heavy draught horses owned respectively by Sam Martin and Johnnie Snodgrass, was witnessed by a large crowd of people. Upon the word being given, Martin's team werec first , to start, thereby gaining an advantage which secured for them the victory. Mr. S. Taylor has taken severalcap- ital photographs of the Boundary falls. At this time of the year the falls are exceedingly beautiful, at the lower falls the water dropping fully 40 feet amid showers of spray, the effect in the sunlight being very fine. It is estimated that quite 700 horse-power could be utilized from Boundary falls when the creek is at its lowest point in the summer months. We are indebted to Mr. Leonard Norris, government agent at Vernon, for a type-written copy of the provincial voters' list for the East Riding of Yale district, compiled up to date. This list may be inspected at any time by those desirous of doing so at the office of The Boundary Creek Times. The next court of revision will be held on Monday, August 2nd. After revision the list will be closed and will be the list for the ensuing year. Applications to have names placed on the list must be sent to the collector of votes, Mr. Norris, 60 days before they are entered on the list. On Monday Mr. W. J. Tim an, formerly of Rossland, completed the arrangements for the purchase of Mr. J. J. Caulfield's moiety share in the Pioneer hotel and has entered into partnership with Mr. J. W. Nelson, the business still being carried on under the old style of Nelson & Co.

Work was started this week on the properties owned by the Tidal Wave Mining-Co., in Skylark camp. The ore in the south drift of the Jewel materially improved during- the week, a good strike being- made on Sunday. An assessment is being done on the Montezuma, a promising prospect in Greenwood camp owned by Ewan Keightley and Harry Morgan. Mr. Eeslie Hill has not accepted any of the tenders sent in for the sinking of a 50-foot shaft on the Crown Point, James creek, having decided to undertake the work himself. ' The Brandon & Golden Crown Min- ing Co. are- "now employing twelve miners upon the Golden Crown and Calumet claims, four men being sent up on Wednesday to the Golden Crown. Exploratory surface work only is being prosecuted on the Calumet. A contract was let on Wednesday for a drift to be run on the Tamarack, under bond to the English syndicate represented by Mr. W. H. Young, who visited the camp last week. Enough work is to be done at present on this claim for the purposes of crown-graiit- inS* -<;' ' '"- '��� " ���������' ' . Freight Rates from Marcus. Boundary Creek consignees were interviewed this week by the Mitchell Bros., a firm of freighters who stated that they had authority from the S. F. ;&..N. R'y Co. to haul goods from Marcus for the company at an established rate of Ij^c. the year round, and that merchants would, if they preferred, be enabled to obtain a through rate over the Northern Pacific and S. F. & N. to Boundary. The railway company further agrees to be responsible for goods until they have passed the customs. In Wolf's Camp. Andrew Hanson returned on Wednesday after spending some weeks in Wolf's camp, on the reservation, where he owns a group of six claims in partnership with Pat Welsh ; among these are the Eake View and Bay Horse, adjoining a very promising property known as the Ivamefoot. On the latter a shaft has been sunk 50 feet and a tunnel driven 170 feet in ore averaging $15 to the tori, the outcrop being 70 feet wide. Irately the rock became so hard in the tunnel that it was found necessary to order an air compressor drill plant, which is now on the way, in order to do effective work, and negotiations are also being made for the erection of a smelter on the property. Wolf's camp is 1%, miles east of Curlew lake. We are in receipt of a copy of the second edition of the capital folder issued by the Northern Pacific R'y Co. This edition contains valuable information not inserted in the first, more especially with regard to the Kootenay and Colville mining districts, corrected to date. The Company's enterprise is certainly to be commended. Mr. S. Inkster, who returned recently by way of Marcus from Davenport, Wash., states that prospectors are flocking into the country from that direction. Mr. Inkster had the misfortune to fracture a rib at Davenport last week. Eand is being cleared both on the Dillier pre-emption and in the vicinity of the saw-mill. In the last mentioned locality unsightly stumps by the roadside are being taken out���a circumstance worthy of congratulatory comment.

DEATH OF A CARSON STORE-KEEPER. Mr. Ed. Driscoll, the well known store-keeper and postmaster of Carson, died suddenly last Friday ; to within an hour or so of his death he was apparently in ordinary health and spirits. The coroner for the district, Dn Jakes, was at once notified, and an inquest was held on Saturday and concluded , on Monday after a post mortem examination had been made by Dr. Smith, of Grand Forks, on Sunday. The coroner's jury, Messrs. Thos. Hardy (foreman),J. McLaren, E. E. Spraggett, J. A. Coryell, J. M. Seal and R. Johnson, after hearing the evidence, brought in a verdict of "death from heart failure." Arrangements for the funeral, which took place on Tuesday and was largely attended, were undertaken by Carson Eodge, I.O.O.F., of which the deceased was a member. At the regular meeting of the local lodge on Saturday the following resolution of condolence and sympathy to the late member's bereaved widow and family was unanimously passed : Whereas our brother, E. Driscoll, has been untimely removed from this earthly shore; and Whereas we deeply mourn the loss of our departed brother ^therefore Be xt Resolved, that the members of Carson Lodg-e extend to the widow and children of our beloved brother our heartfelt S3*mpathy and condolence hi thei%sad bereavement, praying-that our Father'in heaven will strengthen them and uphold them in their sorrow. We realize the great loss to them of a kind and considerate husband and father, and the lodg-e an active and sympathetic brother.

Upon his arrival in Vernon several years ago he was employed in this capacity by Mr. W. R. Megaw, with whom he remained until the spring of last year. Just a year ago he opened a general merchandise store in Carson ; this business has been taken over by Mr. Megaw, who has engaged an assistant from Greenwood to take charge. FAIRVIEW CAMP. Messrs. Dier & Davidson are nothing- if not enterprising. East summer they employed nien by the day to stake ground wherever the slightest indication of mineral could be found. In all nineteen prospects were thus located and enough work was done on each to entitle the owners to crown grants. The development of some of these��� what might reasonably be at first put down as wild-cat claims���has in several instances given results surprisingly satisfactory, particularly in the case of the Tinhorn which now has every promise of becoming a valuable mine. The management are moreover so certain of the truth of this conjecture that a 20-stamp mill has been ordered and will shortly be installed on the property. Gold is now to be seen in the rock from the tunnel on the Smuggler Two shifts are at work on this property, a tunnel being driven to connect with the shaft, which is now down 130 feet. The tunnel is in 50 feet in fine ore. Word has been received that the hoisting machinery ordered some weeks ago is on the road. The Strathyre Co.'s 10-stamp mill has been put in good running order the machinery being started this week to treat the ore from the Smuggler. M. T.

A dance was given by Miss Brennan on Monday night, to celebrate the opening of her confectionery store on Copper street. Mr. George McKague's log cabin on Pass creek was destroyed last week by a biish firec A quantity of supplies stored in the building were also consumed. The foundations are being laid for Mr. McKenzie's new two-storey building on Copper street, the contract having been awarded to Meessrs. Keedy & .'���' Ratcliff. ���"'; .; .;'.���'���' ' '. ���-'��� ���;' ' County court at Midway has been adjpurned from the 17th to the 26th of the month. The 24th was first proposed by the Judge, but being a public holiday it was deemed advisable to further postpone the date two days. "���%'��� A small army of painters and paper- hangers are engaged in the work ��� of "rejuvenating" the interior of the hotel at Boundary Falls. The hotel is to receive a complete overhauling^ Mr. Wake, the new proprietor, anticipating a busy summer. c Mr. L/eith, a missionary of the Presbyterian church, who has taken the place of Mr. Irwin, has decided tp make Greenwood his headquarters instead of Midway, and has rented: a house from Mr. F. B. Smith on Long Eake street. On Monday the contractors on the Midway irrigation system completed the ditching and rapid progress is being made with the fluming. By-the- way it is strongly to be recommended that greater precautions should be taken; to; pr^ventjaccidents occurring when blasting has to be done. L,ast Saturday six blasts were let off while a carriage containing two ladies was passing the spot. Pieces of rock fell all around and it was by the merest good fortune that the occupants of the carriage were not struck. At least five minutes before the fuse is lighted men should be stationed on the road at a safe distance away to give warning of danger. Mr. Cuppage, the road inspector, after spending a week in this part of his district left for Anarchist mountain on Tuesday. A very necessary piece of road is being constructed from Anarchist mountain to Osoyoos, where it crosses the International boundary into the Indian reservation, re-crossing ten miles below and coming out at the crossing of Rock creek. This road will give an outlet to a number of settlers, and as it avoids the steep g-rades by McKinney will also be used by freighters in preference to the main trunk road. Although a fee of $5 will be charged for convoyage by the United States custom-house officials from Osoyoos, this charge is more than neutralized by the cheap price of grain and fodder for teams along this route. It is also gratifying to learn that the dangerous crossing of Rock creek in the village is to be bridged directly the water is sufficiently low to allow the work to be carried out. Mr. Cuppage has employed a small force of men to repair the road over Boundary mountain, and whilst here he also inspected the rough sleigh road to Long I^ake camp made by the Prospecting- Syndicate of B.C. last winter. If funds are available the government will, among other contemplated work, convert this rough road into a good thoroughfare. I W. J. ARMSTRONG & CO. 1���� 3k.

Green hopes to start the survey of the government townsite at Rock Creek next week. Messrs. Smith & McRae opened on Wednesday a store on Copper street for the sale of stationery, books, fancy goods and wall-paper. The stock is well selected, and doubtless this new firm's enterprise will be duly appreciated. A petition, to which already a large number of names have been subscribed, is in circulation addressed to the Hon. the Minister of Mines, asking that Mr. McMynn���the fact that he is committed for trial on a charge of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, notwithstanding���be allowed to retain his office as mining recorder of the Kettle River mining division until the case is tried. "Dr." Christie, whose remarkable capacity for hard work is well established in Boundary, left to-day for pastures (or rather hill-sides) new. His destination is unknown, but from dark hints that have been allowed to drop it? is evidently an EH Dorado of surpassing richness ; at any rate it is to be hoped so, for no man in the camp is more deserving of good fortune. The work of grading and improving Government street was commenced on Wednesday, a force of four men being employed by the committee, who succeeded in collecting a sum of $300 for the purpose. The street will be graded from the corner of " Barbary " street to Russell & Co.'s hardware store, sidewalks being also put down on both sides of the street for that distance. It is hoped that these improvements will be completed by or before the Queen's birthday. The diamond jubilee commemoration committee met on Wednesday evening and decided to build a pavilion on the site presented by Messrs. Wood & Galloway as a public park, and also to clear and put in order as much ground as possible���upon the generosity of subscribers to the fund of course depending the extent of the area improved. A subscription list has already been drawn out and it is to be hoped that the liberality of the townspeople who will be asked to further the success of the project will be equal to the importance of the occasion.

A communication was received from a Mr. Burk, of a Portland, Oregon, banking firm, asking- for information anent the No. 7 and Mother Lode mines. Word has been received from the In- spector of Customs for British Columbia, that goods consigned for Boundary Creek at Marcus must be removed from the cars within twelve hours after the seals have been broken ; that hereafter cars cannot be opened and re-sealed to admit of part of the shipment being removed. THE B. CM. & M. CO.

McDonnell's ranch on Eholt creek for a mill and townsite purposes, paying Mr. McDonnell $5,000 in cash and 100,000 shares of the company's stock. Mr. Shaw, C.E-, had advised the purchase of the property as a mill site and on the grounds that the land occupied by three of the company's claims came within the area of the ranch. Mr. R. J.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-05-15 |
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. |
