GREENWOOD CITY, B.C., SATURDAY/MAY 22, 1897. 37 No, 11, TOPICS fOR THE WEEK. [ROM THE last issue of the Grand Forks Miner we "gather"'.'that it is the intention to celebrate at Grand Forks the Queen's Diamond Jubilee on the 22nd of June, instead of, as previously announced, commemorating- the American day of rejoicing-���the 4th of July. Whoever is responsible for this change of plan certainly deserves commendation, and no doubt the newly elected mayor, Mr. Manly, (to whom, by-the-way, we offer hearty congratulationsv upon the���to him and his supporters 7���satisfactory result of the recent municipal" contest) saw the questionable taste of celebrating- in a Canadian town the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, an event to which while the citizens of the Great Republic may fittingly do honor, is hardly as associated with English history an occurrence/that Kng-lishmen are proud to remember. Americans and Canadians are excellent friends, and the cousinly relationship is rarely strained ; why, therefore, make a display of the family skeleton ? , f Apropos of the~Diambnd Jubilee, Mr. Baden-Powell has written to several of the Colonial papers suggesting that simultaneously at 10 o'clock p.m. on the 22nd of June bonfires should be kindled at suitable elevations in every locality throughout the Empire���that great Empire on which the sun never sets. To our mind this is a capital idea, and there is no reason at*?rair why it should not be carried out in Boundary. In Engrand the custom of light- ing- bonfires on great occasions^ either of thanksgiving or of alarm, dates back to the days of the Romans; but never, so far as we are aware, has, the beacon light blazed in token, of great national rejoicing in the domains of Greater Britain beyond the seas from the Motherland. The people of Boundary should not, and we believe will not, allow the opportunity to pass of celebrating- with all honor one of the greatest and most auspicious events in British history. ___ *v* SI'* c ��� , -aft* ?ii> iis* Rather an interesting- claim jumping- case was decided last week in New Westminster by Judge Bole. The plaintiffs located a claim, the O K, near Pitt I^ake, on the 27th of December, applying on the 7th of January to record; for some reason or other, however, not stated, they failed to receive a record until the 26th of the same month. Meanwhile the defendants jumped the claim on the grounds presumably that (1) it was improperly located-���the description on the post showing the direction of the line to be northeast and south-west, whereas the true direction was northwest and south-east, and (2) that the original location was not recorded within the time limit specified in the Act. The Judge in giving a decision in favor of the defendants pointed out that by section 16 (sub-section D) of the Mineral Act the locator is protected from forfeiting his title to his claim providing it can be shown that mineral was found in place ; that there was at any rate a bona fide attempt made on his part to comply with the provisions of the Act; and that the non-observance of the formalities was not of a character calculated to mislead others desiring to locate claims in the vicinity. But in this case the plaintiff's wrongful description on the posts would certainly mislead others, wishing to locate in the vicinity. Moreover, although the Recorder might be guilty of culpability in the matter, there was no official record of the O.K. claim until the 26th of January, which would extend the time beyond the limits allowed by the Act. ��� *_* Americans will continue to flock into British Columbia. A by no means insig-nificant proportion of the population of provincial border mining towns is at present, composed of American citizens, who enjoy the greater freedom under British monarchical government no less than the increased opportunities of acquiring wealth afforded in the country. An American lady now resident in Greenwood remarked the other day that she " really was surprised " at the way law and order was maintained in a place she was given to understand was a rough mining camp. "Why, in Marcus," she^explained, "across the line, there was shooting going orievery night of our stay, and a wbrhan was shot in the Hand whlie walking- on the principal streefo'' V- '���- f , # '_!& Mr}? THE QUEEN'S BIRTH DAY CELEBRATION. The Queen's Birthday Celebration Committee have perfected arrangements for the carnival of sports on Monday next. A force of men have succeeded in getting the race track in good order and some fast races are expected. Two local horsemen have been secretly training- a dark horse with the expectation of securing; the greater share of the prizes, but they may be doomed to disappointment, since a string of American horses are coming across the border to take part in the races. A large granite boulder the proper shape and size(fhas been placed in position for the drilling contest. The tug-of-war is another feature of the celebration which will undoubtedly prove exciting. The strong men of Greenwood appear; to be confident of winning, since they neglected to practice during the week ; their Anaconda opponents have pursued a different course by training for the last two weeks. The other events are likely to be keenly contested. Messrs. Sansom & Holbrook's hall is being enlarged, refitted and decorated for the grand ball which will conclude the celebration. GERMAN CAPITAL. Certain German capitalists of note are directing their attention to the mines of Boundary Creek, and in all probability several properties will be secured by them within the next few weeks. Mr. Hans Giese, who makes his head- quartersr at Tacoma, visited Boundary last Fall, and after carefully examining a number of claims ��in the different camps, com.municated with friends in Germany. Mr. Giese returned to Greenwood on Tuesday last intending to remain for some time. GHe is accompanied by Mr. H. Vanhoff, an experienced mining man from Berlin. They have already examined several claims as an initial step towards inducing German capitalists to purchase and develop mines in the vicinity of Greenwood. * SI'* 'fa '"if UP THE WEST PORK OE KETTLE RIVER. Since Sunday last over twenty-five claims have been located on the divide between the West Fork and the main Kettle river and on the east side of Beaver creek. Tom Currie returned on Thursday evening to record six claims located by him in that neighborhood. The indications are most encouraging, the ore running high in copper with a trace of gold. Gordon and Miller, two Greenwood prospectors, are coming down in a few days to record several claims. : . *"ti- _!& sir* Alien law or no alien law, it is nevertheless certain that Bob Robinson, J. B. Estop and James Smith returned yesterday from Pass creek where they have been working on the Northern Belle, No. 3 and Golden Giant. The surface showings on these claims are very large. Another claim on Pass creek which showed up well after assessment work is the Sidehill Star owned by Al. Clifford and others. fi*B_^ii_iiau��'-iia-wiMm/--U-^ smwawM,^-1^ THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, K4* 4* 4r-4>.4?.4r&&-4r^fc ��� Taylor & eaters in General 1 And PROSPEGTORS; SUPPLIES. ^ ROOK OREEK, - - - - B. O. T ^HE SITTINGS of the County Court of ' Yale advertised to be holden at Midwa\- on the 17th Inst, and at Grand Forks on. the, 19th In.st., each at 10 o'clock in the forenoon,' HAVE BEEN POSTPONED Until the 26th and 28th Inst, respectively, at the same hours and places. "���'.,. Bjr command.. James McConnell, who is heavily interested in mining- properties in the district, came tip from Victoria on Monday last. He reports that-the leg-al difficulties between Frank Richter arid himself with respect to the coal property at Rock Creek have been settled out of court. This property was purchased last autumn by Messrs., Robert Wood & Co., of Greenwood, W. T. Thompson and others, but owing- to the lawsuit the deal had not been o closed. Everything-was satisfactorily arranged during- the past week, however, and the hew owners intend to yig-orously push the work of development beg-un last fall. Already oyer - $1,00.0 has been spent in making a tun- * nel and sinking- shafts.,. This work has disclosed a seam of coal and shale from six to nine feet in depth. There is two feet of clean coal under a smooth sandstone roof. Below this are a series of layers of coal and shale, varying- in thickness arid terminating- in a smooth shale floor. The owners intend securing- a diamond drill .and thoroug-hly testing- the ground. In the event of the property proving- equal to expectations, a strong-company will be organized for the purpose of mining-the coal. Messrs. Wood & Co. last year staked several coal claims adjacent to their property, but the g-overnment refused the record to them, stating that the land had been reserved a few days previous to their application as a portion of the Columbia & Western land grant. This property is only 640 acres in; extent and had they secured the claims applied for they would be in a better position to secure the org-anization of a strong- company to mine the coal that is so necessary in the development of the mines. It certainly does appear a hardship that those possessing the necessary enterprise to undertake the work' of developing- local properties should be restricted by the operations of an Act granting land to a railway promoter. Their prospecting .with a diamond drill will result as beneficially to Mr. Heinze, who does nothing-, as to themselves, since the coal lands tied up are adjacent to the claim upon which the drill will be operated. Experts who have examined the coal state that it is. well, adapted for coking purposes... The prospecting with the diamond drill.will be watched with interest by all those interested in mines in this district; for should the work result as anticipated, there is a strong* probability of mine owners joining- tog-ether for the purpose of erecting a smelter on Bouridairy Creek.

Rossland Miner: Two g-old bricks containing- 1,094 ounces of bullion and valued-at about $17,500, the result of the last clean-up at the Cariboo mine, were broug-ht down from Gamp McKinney on the 9th inst. and are 'now stored in the vaults of the Traders' bank in Spokane.' Mr. M. Cowley, president of the Cariboo Co., said it was the intention of the company to expend $30,000 0in the purchase of additional machinery and other improvements at the mine this summer. Work on the improvements has already been com- -men.eed.; The 10-stamp will be increased to triple that capacity, and when all the machinery is put in and the improvements completed the output will be more than doubled. In view of the expenditure of this larg-e sum of money no������tnofe dividends will�� be declared for the present ���":'���'.��� Wanted ! A Railway;. An excellent criterion of the necessity for railway communication between Greenwood and the commercial centres is to be found in the larg-e number of people coming- into thedistrict and the quantity of freig-ht that is being- hauled by teams from Marcus to Greenwood. A person; travelling- by stag-e over;. this route' is almost sure to pass a score -of four-horse "teams drawing- wag-g-ons heavily laden with g-oods for the Greenwood merchants. During- the past month over seven car-loads of freig-ht have been broug-ht by teams from Marcus to Greenwood, and exclusive of the cost of carriag-e by rail, the merchants of Greenwood have paid freighters upwards of $3,000 for the conveyance of g-oods. The history of the success attending- the construction of a railway into Kootenay from the American side will, in all probability, repeat itself in Boundary,'- unless the C.P.R. profit by the Jesson experience should have broug-ht with it. The C.P.R. failed to realize the.importance of the trade 'ofi��o6ibiia.y and while hesitating on a qtiestiori of expenditure a -shrewd American built a railway across the international boundary line into the country and thereby enriched himself and the city of Spokane. The same shrewd American, Mr. -Corbin, is now offerings cheaper freig-ht rates than the G:P.I-. to the people of Boundary, and if reports be true he intends steal- ing-'a further march on the slow-g-oing- Canadian railway companies by connecting- this district with his line of railway. All who are interested in the healthy development of the province would be better pleased if Boundary Creek and. the mining-districts to the north and west of it were connected by rail with the coast cities; but miners, prospectors and men of business here are so firmly convinced that untold wealth now hidden, in the surrounding- mining- camps will be produced as soon as railway connection is secured that they will. hail such connection from any quarter. The trade of the country lying- between Hope mountain and the international boundary is well worthy the effort of any railway corporation to secure, and if Canadian or British Columbian companies hope to be the successful competitors this end may only be effected by the most prompt and decided measures. W.'T. Smith, manager of the Republic Mining- Co., owning- valuable claims in Smith's camp, reports encourag-- ing-ly anent the showing- on the company's; properties. The work on the; _L,ast Chance is being- pushed,���a contract having been let to Messrs. Connors and Castleman to extend the present shaft from the 60-foot level , fifty feet further. The ledge runs from 5 feet to 7 feet in width. ,j1 1/ _J___a_SiB&_h__��.'

The assessment work has been completed on the Montezuma, in Greenwood camp. J. Jermyn has a force of men at work on the Nug-g-et, adjoining^ the Gold Drop, in Greenwood camp. ' Mr. McKenzie, of the Greenwood Gold Mining-Co., left this week to inspect a property at Bossburg-, of which he received most nattering- accounts. Next Tuesday-- half-interests in ^fhe= Mammoth and Sunrise claims on Prior creek, owned by F. S. MacFarland, will be sold by the deputy sheriff, Mr. Elkins, at public auction. \ Representatives of a syndicate of capitalists of Portland, Ore., have visited the camp during- the; past two weeks and examined the Winnipeg, in Wellington, with a view to purchasing ; the property. Bill Eewis, formerly foreman at the Jewel, has been engaged by Mr. L/eslie Hill to assume the foremanship for a company owning- the Vancouver group of mines in the Slocan, and will leave next week for Nelson. Ken. Henley, a well known prospector from Coeur d'Alene, spent several days in the vicinity of Rock Creek and then returned to Marcus. It is reported that Mr. Henley has secured an option on some promising properties for Spokane capitalists. Work was commenced last week on the Crown Point claim, on James creek. According to the opinion of the experienced miners who are w-orking on the property, the Crown Point has as g-ood a surface showing- as any of the best prospects in the camp. It is expected that the Tamarack contract will be completed within the next two or three days, the rock proving- much softer than was anticipated very rapid progress has been made with the work. Some magnificent ore is now being- encountered in a three- foot lead, showing- native copper.' The' Tamarack is a very promising prospect and ore can be found at almost any spot on the claim. Mr. H.J. Donnelly, an experienced mining- man who spent several years in South Africa, arrived in Greenwood a few clays ago and will remain here for some time. Mr. Donnelly is well pleased with the district but thinks a law should be enforced compelling the removal of stakes on all claims upon which no assessment work has been done. Stakes being- upon abandoned claims, give bona fide prospectors a great deal of trouble. Mr. Hedley, who was connected with the Hall Mines Exploration Co. for some time, has visited several mining camps in Boundary Creek district with the object of g-athering- information re- g-arding- the best place to erect a smelter. Mr. Hedley is fully impressed with the necessity for a larg-e smelter to assist in the development of the mineral resources of the district. Should the Rock Creek coal mines turn out a g-ood quality of coking coal there will be no difficulty in securing the necessarj' capital to erect a smelter. Messrs. Seymour & Co. are making- several improvements to the Windsor hotel, among other things the building- is being rustic-ed aud a wide veranda added. New Advertisers. Several wholesale firms of VictGkria fully appreciate the importance of the growing- trade of Greenwood and vicinity, and by advertising in The Times have adopted an excellent plan of bringing-their g-oods to the notice of local merchants. The advertisements of four Victoria wholesale houses appear in The Times for the first time this week. lyang-ley & Henderson Bros, have been established since 1858 Rossland. Greenwood.

Bell mine, in Summit camp, by the Keoug-h Gold & Copper Mining Company. Thos. Walsh, the well known mining- man, has eng-aged several men to develop the properties recently bonded by him in Greenwood canip. Mr. John A. Finch, a well known and wealthy , mine owner, has .purchased, in association with others, the Iyittle Winnie, De Win ton and Gold Nug-g-et claims, up the North Fork of Kettle river. ' c Mr. McConnell left for Victoria, after winding- up the business in connection with the coal lands, but expects to return shortly for the purpose of developing several properties in which he is interested. ��� The Brandon & Golden Crown Mining Co. have received encouraging reports this week from their claims in Wellington camp. While their men were doing some surf ace work on the Golden Crown, a larg-e body of hig-h grade ore was uncovered. . On Saturday last another dividend of $16,000, or 2 per cent, on the capital stock of $800,000, was declared by the Cariboo Mining & Smelting- Co., of Gamp McKinney.

Iyike all experienced men, Mr. Bealey is favorably impressed with the outlook of this district. Mr. Moulton Barrett returned to Greenwood on Monday after spending the winter months in England. He, however, leaves on mining- business for. Nevada shortly. Messrs. Hodg-son and Barrett have ordered a diamond drill wherewith to prospect claims which may be bonded by them this summer for their clients. Police Court Proceedings. The court-room was crowded with interested spectators on Tuesday morning last when Dr. Jakes appeared before Mr. J. Kerr, J.P., to answer to a charge of incommoding- and impeding a passenger, Mr. G. T. Hodson, on the public street. The information was laid by Provincial Constable IDlkins. Messrs. Mclveod and X/eamy, who appeared for the defendant, strongly objected to the fact that their client had been summoned under the Vagrancy Act, the magistrate agreeing that Dr. Jakes should not have been summoned under this Act. With the consent of the prosecution, the case was dismissed. From the evidence it appeared that the cause for the altercation between Dr. Jakes and Mr. Hodg-son is a private one which will probably be ventilated in the courts. On Tuesdav* afternoon Dr. Jakes was charg-ed with common assault. Mr. McL,eod raised the objection that the Doctor was acquitted in the morning- and could :,tiot be re-tried on the same evidence ; he also pointed out that one justice of the peace could not try an assault case. His Worship noted the objections and fined the defendant $10. The case will probably be appealed. I __/j^vv\i^vvy;��\\!to'-AV\o-.vv\ca*^^^ j W.J. ARMSTRONG &C0.;Jm��-: :?!?

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-05-22 |
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. |
