EUROPEAN POWERS. ARE NOT GOING TO INTERFERE. Secret Agreements Made to That Ladysmith Holds Her Own���Some ishlng at Other Points. Effect Skirm- Special to the Greenwood. Times. I/ONDON, November 10.���-The South African republics have ceased to exist in England's eyes.; There is now no fear of interference by the great powers of Europe as secret agreements have been made to that effect. All Is Well at Kiinberly. London, November; 10.���The war office has received the following- dispatch from GeneraL Buller, dated Capetown, Wednesday evening, November 8: "Colonel Kokewich telegraphs from Kimberly November 8 that all is well and there has been no serious attack as yet. A slight bombardment did no damage. 'Information from Mafeking shpws.thatthe place was safe October 27. Colonel Plummer had a successful engagement near-Fort Gali October 27.' come. Owing to the fact that Lady- smith lies low the Boers unluckily have' been permitted to occupy Mount Buli- wan and surrounding! high hills. The attempts at open heliographic.com munications proved a failure. An official dispatch from General Buller shows Ladysmith still in fighting trim on Sunday, and anticipating the recommencement of bombardment on Monday; =-,. ;��� .. . ; Boers Get a Free Lunch.' '; Orange Rivbk, Cape Colony, November 6.���The Boers infesting Kimberly have been reinforced by 2,000 men and have- succeeded in corralling about ,��5,000 worth of: stock -belonging to Kimberly merchants, which was intended'for the sustenance of the town. LATEST FROM LADYSMITH. The Boers Are Being- Reinforced and' a Fierce Bombardment of the Town Is Dally Expected. Special to the Greenwood Times. London, November 10.���The English war office gets but' few scanty., reports and feels gloomy over Ladysmith.' The Boers, it believes, are planning a sudden fierce onslaught, which must occur soon; General Buller's forces will ad- rance from. Durban to the interior. The announcement that 3,000 Boers with big guns left Praetoria on their way to the southern border is said to be merely a ruse to hide the real destination of the force, which is believed, to be Ladysmith. Those best, qualified to express an opinion object to ..the quietness of the Boers, which is ominous, and they expect shortly to hear of large accessions to the Boer giins in position and a severe bombardment of the beleagured camp. A Pietermaritzburg dispatch says: Ladysmith is all safe for some time to Special to Boundary Creek Times. . London, Nov. 7.���Dispatch from Capetown says an encounter at Lady-' smith resulted in a great jvictory for, British who captured nearly 2,000 Boers Yesterdays dispatches disproves the continential story that Ladysmith had fallen. The dispatch revives anxiety in another direction however'in that White, instead of acting wholly, on defensive persists in, his sortie, thereby risking other disasters. Generally, however, the cheery tone of the dispatches'shows no anxiety . as regards the ability of the garrison to' hold- its own. The movements of Capetown Boers awaken fears that the British have underestimated the forces to be met. It -is said . J. that , "the Colenso garrison .' saved all its , .stores. The besieged' forces, included'. 5,000 Boers, among whom was a fresh corpV'-'from the Orange Free' State. Pietermaritzburg is still safe;. MUSIC HALLS.

Fletcher is erecting a- large building on Deadwpqd ;street. which; will -be used, for this purpose; and A'i Fisher and associates.arebt^ldiug another, at -the corner of Silver and Greenwood streets.. Mr. Fletcher, will'ask'"for '^a license to sell liquor oh.; the premises, and a movement is on foot that' only one music hall be licensed until, the city . has a population of 6.000. .Mr. Fisher very naturally objects to this. Both are being opposed by the licensed victuallers, who last Wednesday week presented a petition" from the citizens asking that no such licenses be granted until an'opportunity:, were givqnfor a full discussion of the matter. The trade licen'se'bylaw,was amended; last week by making the fee for itinerant insurance agents $100 for every six months, and S50 the limit allowed by the act for jewellery- peddlers. A!t the same time, music hall or theatre licenses were fixed 'at..$75 for every three months. ��� The question of the sale of liquors on such premises must come up under the liquor, license bylaw, so Aid. Galloway gave'' notice to amend this bylaw by fixing license for sale of liquor in music halls at S200'for six months. That only four of these should be granted and that only one be ��� granted, until the. population reaches 6,000. This /bylaw was considered again, when Mr. Prihgle represented Mr. Fletcher's interests. It was amended at his suggestion so that the license to sell liquor in music hall premises will be $200 for every six months, the building to cost not less than $10,000, and after the first license is granted no second license shall be granted unless the building cost at least S2S.OO0. The fight was made last Wednesday evening-; City Solicitor Lcamy started it by holding that the bylaw was bad law and would be upset in the courts. Mr. Pringle wanted to know in what respect the bylaw was bad law. Aid. Wood and Galloway supported the bylaw. Mayor Hardy claimed that no business should be protected by the council. Aid. Fisher said, that Aid. Wood and Galloway were not anxious to protect him when Fletcher started a..sawmill in opposition to his during dull times, but they were now very anxious to protect Fletcher when he (Fisher) undertook to build a music hall to compete with Fletcher.; John Si Holland addressed the council and stated that he and associates were prepared to'build a music hull in the city but not a S25.0OO one. They were quite prepared to.run nothing but a respectable show. The discussion went on for some time, Mr. Leamy again asserting that the bylaw was bad law. that the council had not power to restrict business in this way. The council, however, passed the bylaw, and Mr. Leamy at once tendered his resignation, but it was hot considered. ���tr* a crq . ���<>>-��� -O" :>i ) B> H - {**��" /Sep > to KSj'i-t zr���_, n THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, i. i(. iiaJ-i-i:ti'.

' The Medical Officer of Health Makes a Suggestion to the Council. Dr. Schon, the city healtn officer, has written to the council in reference to the disposal of refuse and also to an economical method of securing electric light. Dr. Schou suggested that a committee be formed ��o enquire into the practicability of burning the solid sewage and refuse in one of the blast furnaces attached to the smelter which is about to be erected. Dr. Schon had a conversation with Mr. Paul Johnson on the subject and he saw no difficulty in being able to burn it. His object in bringing the subject before the council at so early a date was that arrangements might be made with the smelter company so that any modification of construction of furnance to meet requirements .might be effected from commencement. There can be no question as to the efficiency of 'this process of disposing of this solid refuse; the next question to be considered will be the disposal of the liquid part; This can only'be carried out by a system of drainage throtigout the city, the house slops, etc.,'being drained to a series of tanks; these being subject to a chemical process, after which the principal effluent might be allowed to find its way ultimately into the water course. "Some very expensive plan of drainage for this rapidly increasing town may become necessary in the future, but I think theadoption, such as I am suggesting, would not cost a very great deal and would answer the purpose for some time to come." Dr. Schon suggested an.other idea to the effect that the city burn all its refuse and thus be able to generate electricity to light the town. This has been successfully done in England, notably in the parish of.Shoreditch, in east end of London, and has proved not only an excellent means of disposing of refuse, but also a source of profit in the process.

The letter follows: ��� The British Columbia Copper Company /'Limited, now'arrranging to erect a smelter at Greenwood has secured,an option on 36 acres of laud adjoining the proposed smelter sitei which land is very necessary to the company for the purposes of their smelter. The price is 53,600. Hitherto the company has asked nothing of the city..

Spokesman-Review Correspondent Writes i ;About the Big Reduction Plant, j f,"WejdonH care ��� about contracts,.' as we propose tosmelt ore:so ^cheap that the mine owners will come to us. How cheap? Well, from three to four dollars a ton; so that, until this rate is lowered,' there will be no chaiice of the ores going to other smelters until we get what we want." This statement was made by Paul Johnson, M. E., superintendent of the smelter department, of the British Columbia Copper Conipanyi'in' answer to a question put by the travelling correspondent of the Spokesman-Review. The anssver was. made with a conviction that carried weight. The smelter now being constructed at Greenwood by. the big company owning the Mother Lode mine,-will be. a custom smelter, and the above statement, made by the superintendent of the smelter, was no idle boast of what they intend doing, but was the first authoritative information on this important subject given out for publication. . On the outside little has been heard of what the British Columbia Copper Company is doing. That the company has ample funds at its back has been more than demonstrated by the extensive and elaborate development of the Mother L,ode���now regarded as the biggest mine in a country of big mines ���Boundary Creek. It will also be remembered that that the company in order to develop the Mother Lode property brought into the province the most extensive and complete plant of machinery for such a purpose. Now that the mine has turned out so .well the company is erecting its own smelter plant to treat ores. BUILDING THE.. SMKl.TKK. Today, . in company with ��� Superintendent Paul Johnson, the correspondent was shown over the site of the smelter and found SO men hard at work grading the site, blasting out rock and building foundations. The site is barely 12 minutes walk, by trail, from the center of the city. It is on a fairly high elevation above Boundary creek and lies between the railroad spur running to Deadwood camp, which ! crosses the elevation at the highest : point, and the main line of the Co!- i uni.bia & Western railway; at the lower- end. From the Deadwood camp ���spur a ��� branch , will', be i'ruh'; ; to -take the Mother Lode'ore directly to the smelter bins, and a branch from the same spur a little lower down will bring in. custom ores, coke and supplies, and a third spur from the main line.will take away the matte and copper 'bullion,. The site is an ideal one for a smelter in every respect: ' " 'GKAVITV DOES IT.AT.L. ';���'���'��� The plans for the smeller, .show it to be arranged on an absolute gravity system. The smelter will start with a capacity of 300 tons daily. Starting from the upper end the ore will be dumped from the railroad cars into storage bins with a capacity of 4000 tons. From these ��� bins the -ore is dropped into cars that will contain 15 cubic feet of ore, and these are run into a sampling mill. The: sampler has a capacity of 300 tons every 10 hours. The ore first goes through a No. 5 Gates crusher, then to a Brunton automatic sampler. One-fifth of the ore goes as a sample, and the other four-fifths continues down to the bins. This one-fifth sample '. then goes through a number of crushers until it finally reaches a fineness'that gives an absolutely truthful .sample of the whole product. Following this one-fifth sample on its journey, it becomes interesting to a layman unversed in the smelting business to note the '���number of times it is crushed, resnmpled and pulverized before it comes to the correct proportions to be used by the assayer. From the Brunton automatic sampler this sample is again crushed in a No. 2 Gates crusher to the size of one inch and a half. Then it,goes into another Brunton sampler and one-fifth passes through an elevator to the original :height from which it started, while the balance goes to the bins. This one-fitli sample then passes through a Dodge crusher and comes out in lumps three-eights of an inch in size, but only one-fifth is retained. This passes through rolls that crush it to one-twelfth of an inch mesh. Again it is divided, ouc-lifth this time t^oing to sample grinder where it is cut down by hand and the s;iniij!c goes to the bucking room to be passed through :t Cl'lltill UW.l Oil 1'illfi!

Had the council taken advantage-of ever particle of genius at theirdisposal they could not have succeeded in mi sin an aging the affairs more successfully nor .placing the city in a . more unenviable posi'ioiu They gave encouragement to business men of standing, and repute to submit propositions and then treated such propositions with contempt. Thej- attempted to use the bonafide business proposition of business men for petty 'purposes. The negotiations have been a series of petty acts of men without fixed opinions of their own and without sufficient courage'to take a decided stand on anything. Instead of occupying a dignified position in the matter, they placed themselves in the hands of one syn'licate and then had not the manliness to treat fairly with that syndicate. It was so easy to secure a fair bargain for the city and.at the skme time deal justly with all parties that-'incom- peteiicy is the only excuse to offer for the miserable fiasco that.has been en-r acted. The position of the ]city was one of great advantage. There were three strong syndicates in the field. When the first two propositions were submitted the council should' have taken, them under advisement and evolved a proposition satisfactory to the city. In the meantime Mr. Sutherland or anyother bonafide party should have been free to make offers. The city could then have said "Gentlemen we are prepared to do this. Are you willing to accept ?" If more(.than one party accepted, the choice could then be made and the matter finally settled without unseemly wragling.. No party could then feel aggrieved, nor could anyone say- he had not been fairly treated. As it is P. Welch & Co., can 'very properly charge the council with discourtesy and injustice. Mr. Sutherland has even a stronger griev- ence than P. Welch & Co. He was led to believe that the council would tceat a business" proposition in a business way, but he was placed in the position of having'his proposition treated with contempt and then used as a weapon to injure those he was ready to meet in fair competition but in no other way. The failure to secure either electric light or tramway would hurt the city less than the establishing of the fact that those representing the city are incapable of caro'ing on business in a business like way. The city cannot afford to treat men like P. Welch & Co. or the Dominion Copper company with discourtesy. They will not permit themselves to be used as tools by the city. ...:���.. ��� -, ���; We have not one word to say against Mr. Mcintosh and his associates and they are in no way responsible for the small, tactics that have been used. Nothing that has been done should prejudice the ratepayers against them nor their proposition. They came into the field with an offer and asked no favors. They are prepared to carry put everything contained in their agreements. Their proposition was entitled to careful consideration but so were the offers of the othercparties in the field. . Thk current issue of. the British contains an is found endorsing the unwarranted criticisms of a gentleman who cannot rise above the dictates of pretty jealousy. Thk creation of a music hall monop- ly can not be justified. ', That the intention of the by-law passed by the the council is to create such a monopoly is palpable to everyone. If music halls are to benefit the town, they should be encouraged not restricted. If it be detrimental to the best interests of the city to allow the sale of liquor in a music hall, it should not be tolerated. The wording of the by-law cannot alter the purpose for which it was passed. It simply abolishes-competition because no man will invest S25,000 in a building to be used for such a purpose. Ik Greenwood had a council that. were capable of transacting business in a business like way what a glorious opportunity presented itself to make the city one of the largest in the country. The is a-tide in the affairs of city as well as in those of men that if taken properly lead on to fortune. Did Mayor Hardy get a telegram from Hugh Sutherland on Saturday last? Did he place that telegram before the .municipal council? If not, why not ? _. Duncan McIntosh ...can make as strong'a talk in advocating an electric light franchise as he does in extolling the riches of the Winnipeg.

At this late day the Record comes to the rescue of the Midway-correspondent of the News-Advertiser who went out of his way to attack the standing of Mr. Paul Johnson.

The truth of the matter is that the Midway correspondent would have been pleased to endorse Mr. Johnson's statements had he decided to build the smelter at Midway.

Hugh Sutherland Submits a Reasonable Proposition, "But the Council Refuse to Consider It ��� Question of Prices ��� Several Lively Tilts. .,' Electric lighting has stirred the people to take a new interest in municipal affairs and eloquent city fathers no longer have to waste their similes or epigrams, upon ...the . dismal looking walls of the court house. An audience braves the ( vitiated air of a poorly ventilated building in order to drink in the wisdom that is dished up by the members of the municipal council. Probably no .-other city in the Dominion, was complimented by so many flattering offers to give it light arid, in-' cidentally to give the denizens of Phoenix an opportunity to enjoy the comforts of a strictly:Up-to-date city.; First " P. Welch' &Co. submitted a proposition, but they;, were ��� unceremoniously turned, down for a syndicate represented: by ' DuncanMcintosh.'1'' Duncan's nigged eloquence evidently hypnotized the council, ''rbecaus~e' they" "ref used to consider the better offer submitted by Hugh Sutherland of 'the Dominion Copper company, Limited."

Hugh Sutherland, through his . solicitor, Clive Pringie, submitted the following proposition:. To His Worship, the Mayor aud.Couucil of the _City of Greenwood: ,,. , ... . ;;_ Gentlemen:���I have the'liohbr to submit on behalf of, .myself and. associates who propose forming' a joint stock company for! the objects hereinafter referred to, the following proposal in regard to electric lighting of your city.: .-,. That within ninety days of the final passage of a by-law by the rate-payers, ratifying an agreement to be entered into between the City of Greenwood and the proposed company embodying the said proposition, the proposed" company will instal, equip and put in. operation ah electric light.system for the;use.of -the publics and supply-any.person.unpersons .within the;Iimita of the city electric light at the following rates : .For incandescent lamps of 16-caudle power, $1.35 per "light" per "month' "for all night light; SI per month for stores and all places of business, and 05 cents per mouth for-private houses. For street arc lig'hts of 2000 candle power each,' $8.33J3 per month. Should any consumer using equal to 10 16 caudle power lights or more desire to pnrcliase his light by meter the company will ��� supply - a .meter at a rental which shall not exceed 30 cents per month and charge for electricity used 1 cent per ampere hour. ��� . ' The city to grant the said company the exclusive privilege and franchise of supplying "the saidlighting for a period of 10 years subject to the right of the said cit3' to purchase from the company the entire plant and equipment at aii3- time after its installation at an advance of 20 per cent on the cost of same. ... If this proposal is accepted I am prepared to' deposit in any bank in the city, iu trust, the sum of S5,000 on behalf of-the proposed company as security for the installation of the plant withiuthe timementioned, and further to forfeit the sum of $100 per day for each and even- day after the iaid 90 days that the plant shall fail td"be"'put in operation unless such' delay shall be caused by circumstances over which the proposed company has no control. And 1 further beg to submit that I am prepared to accept a similar agreement with reference to the tramway as that submitted to your honorable body by Duncan Mcintosh in open council on Saturday evening, November 4,1899. Trusting that mv offer may meet .with your approval, I beg to remain, vours faithfullv. HUGH SUTHERLAND. Greenwood, November 6th, .1899. Mr. Pringie asked for ah adjournment until Wednesday evening in order to give Mr. Sutherland an opportunity to submit an agreement along the lines laid down-in his letter. The Dominion' Copper company whom Mr. Sutherland represents were practically the first inj the field to open negotiations looking towards the securing of a franchise for electric light and tramway- Immediately upon the receipt of a.telegram Mr. Sutherland left Winnipeg for Greenwood and submitted a proposition much more favorable than any that had heretofore come before the council. The council were no doubt anxious to guard the interests of the ratepayers by securing the very best bargain. They desired an opportunity to ���; compete for the franchise". It was only necessary to point out that they would allow the use of meters to show how much more favorable their proposition was. .- With meters the people were charged for the light, they used and no more. Mr. Shaw, representing Mr. Mcintosh, objected to any adjournment. The council had decided to consider Mr. Mcintosh's proposition and they should either grant the franchise or refuse it before negotiating with others. Mr. Sutherland had been in the field for some months' but did -nothing. Any adjournment would be unfair to Mr. Mcintosh, Mr. Mcintosh pointed out that "we poor devils were forced to put up good hard money with the city, Mr. Sutherland hasn't done so." . Mayor Hardy stated that the city was at present doing business with, Mr. Mcintosh and that they couldn't deal with two parties at; the one time. If they dropped Mcintosh and negotiations with Sutherland failed, it. is not likely Mr. Mcintosh, would be ready to reopen the negotiations. Mr. Pringie replied that they didn't ask that Mr. Mcltosh's proposition be thrown aside; all they wanted was to place both parties oh an equal footing. It was the duty of the council to make the very best bargain possible. Mayor Hardy: "We will look after that. We haven't passed the bylaw and will fix it to suit.ourselves." Aid.' Sutherland proposed that the Mcintosh agreement be taken up; Aid'. Fisher seconded the motion. -Aid. Galloway advised the.council,to make haste slowly.". The; people would certainly not sanction a bylawi know- ing.a much more favorable proposition had'been submitted to the "council. ,-. Mr. Mcintosh wanted -the1 matter settled. He wasn't going ;to' wait an indefinite time. He wanted his proposition accepted or rejected. >;He wasn't preparel to amend his proposition to suit Mr. Sutherland who" quoted lower rates than were ever quoted before. If his proposition didn't suit the council all they had to do was to return his checks. Aid. Sutherland's motion was then carried. The council then proceeded to haggle with Mr. Mcintosh,to get prices down as low as those suggested ; by Mr. Sutherland.; ;;,. > j .>-:,i'V f ' Mr. Sutherland rose to make ; ail ex7 planation.'" He was not aware untiLhis arrival here that Mr. Mcintosh had submitted an offer. Mr. , Sutherland had discussed the! matter when here six weeks ago and had returned from Winnipeg to make the offer; he had made.:'-, Before doing so he had seen the mayor, who assured him that the council were prepared to consider any new proposition.' Instead of considering his proposition in a business way the council were using it as a weapon to;cut Mr. Mcintosh's;'prices. 'He sub- mittedau offer for tioshch purpose. It was manifestly unfair to himself and to Mr.vMcIntosh that this course should' be pursued, and as far as he "was concerned he ��� did not intend to allow it'.' He withdrew his proposition. Vl. : Mayor Hardy stated' that'they' had considered Mr. Sutherland's proposition. It was placed on file'for future reference., ;. ���.. .. . i. j.* - Mr. Sutherland: ' " You'' saicr~the' council were in a position to consider a proposition from me and you haven't considered it. You are using it to cut down Mr. Mclritosh's prices:'/ i / ���; ( ������'. Hardy: ; V.You.can't make.aio capital but of that." ���'������.���-��� - ��������� - -" j- '.-. Mr.-Sutherland then..-..withdrew...hijs proposition. The haggling and wrangling, went on ;��� until 2-o'elock Tuesday morning. The discussion, if it could be dignified by such a name, waxed furious at ,times. The council didn't want to to give an exclusive franchise and Mr...Mcintosh said that he was prepared to take back his checks and let the scheme go to a hotter place than the courthouse-if- -such .a. retreat, could be discovered. ' The council then became ;frightened and got,back;tp the:'oldvposition.;. At 2 a.m. matters '.hadn't; improved.; and an adjournment was taken until Wednesday . evening.. '.Mr.. .. -Mclntosh'.s 'agreement has been mutilated so 'frequently that it is useless attempting to quote his figures-until such time as the council will arrive at a definite decision. VICTORIA, B.

The ore then'��� goes to the, assayer. It is mechanically as true a sample of the whole of the original ore as can be obtained. , The balance of the rejected ore drops again into cars,and is run into the ore mixing bins, each holding 150 tons. There are 38 of these bins. From these bins th��- ore is fed into the fur- nice. For the present one 300-ton furnace will be built, but the plans provide for live more, which would give a total capacity of 1800 tons every 24 hours. The furnace room will be 60x40 feet in size. -The"'boiler room , is 45x50 feet, and the blower house 45x60 feet. The boiler room is planned so as to be extended to hold 12 ,100 horse-power boilers, and the' same is true of the blower room to hold seven No. 7 Connersville blowers. Each blower will furnish a blast for one furnace, leaving one blower for reserve. Each,blast furnace will have a size of 44 inches by 150 inches at tyers. ��� ��� THKKE HUNDRED TOKS A DAY The plant will start with one furnace which on the kind of ore to be treated- copper-will be of a capacity'to smelt 300.tons in 24 ^hours' Nature has already provided these ores-from Dead- . wood camp-with the necessary iron, ore and lime in right proportions to flux the silica in the ore. In other words the ores are practically self fluxing. The furnace will be of a new design'to preheat'the blast so that the smelting will be done on: the socalled pyritic smelting principle, which means utliz- irig the sulphur for fuel and" thereby only using half the amount of,coke for fuel necessary tinder, the Old system. The coke will be supplied'from the Crow's Nest mines and about 20 tons a day will be" required. -..% On a level immediately beneath the blast furnace department will be the convertor department, where tlie' molten matte is taken down from the blast furnace and poured into convertors lined.with silica and blown up to blister copper with 98 per cent, copper, besides silver and gold. The "'.bullion from the moulds is brought directly onto the railroad cars arid" shipped to electrolytic copper refining works in eastern states for final treatment.'. The work already1 accomplished includes the grading for the boiler, blow- house and blast furnace departments and the building of solid stone retaining walls. The side spurs mentioned have been surveyed and work on the roadbeds will start next week.* Two temporary buildings, one for thesuper- tendent and one for the head foreman and draughtsmen, have been erected. It is hoped to have the smelter built and in full (.last by June of next year. In the meantime the employment of a large number of men in building of same will add a nice payroll to the city. ���-...-' While the smelter is being built mainly to treat Mother Lode ore-, yet it will also be a custom smelter that will have much to say in regulating the price of treatment throughout the Boundary district. Beside the Mother Lode in D^adwood camp, such min. s a* the Morrison, Sunset, Buckhorn, Arlington-Burns group, Iron Top and others in the same camp will by the time the smelter is completed be ready to ship to ore. The Mother Lode mine is only three miles by the railroad from the smelter and these other mines are hearer. The fact that the company announces such a cheap rate of smelter treatment as S3 and $4 is expected to give great encouragement to the owners of low-grade copper ore bodies, within a reasonable distance to the smelter, to prosecute more than ever their development to a shipping stage. The British Columbia Copper company is out for business and is announcing this low rate through the Spokesman- Review does so to show that a smelter can be run profitably to treat low- grade ore at a most reasonable cost and without the necessity of using power other than that generated by coal. The cost of running this smelter by the use of coal alone will, as regards the power plant, only amont to five cent per ton of ore treated. The advantage of steam compared to'elec- tricity or water power is that one can always rely on it and not have any interference in smelter operations which is the annoying experience of a number of plants where they have introduced electrical power. Of the gentlemen at the head of the smelting department of the British Columbia Copper Company, PaulJohn- son, M. E., the capable superintendent, it can be truthfully said that few men in the smelter business have so wide and extended an experience. He is ��� a graduate of the Royal Technical High School and Mining Academy of Stockholm, Sweden. He has in turn been superintendent of the Helsingbore Copper works.

The fight over the electric light and tramway by-laws, so far as the' nuini- cipial council is concerned, came to an end at the meeting held on Wednesday evening last. At 1 a. m. Thursday morning , the council had struggled through the legal verbiage that makes up the agreements and gave both bylaws'their third reading. As the bylaws are published iri the Boundary Creek Times, their is no necessity for going into details here. Voting day has be&n fixed for Nove,inber 23rd. Before preceding with the consideration ' of the by-laws, the following routine work was considered: The Standard Publishing company again asked the council to purchase 25 copies of the Kootenay annual, but the request was refused. , Dr. Schon's letter dealing with sanitary matters was placed on file. The' committee reported that Mack- inaws and rubber boots, had been purchased from Rendell & Co. - The consideration of the British Columbia Copper company's application re purchased of land, was deferred to Monday evening. When the by-law dealing with the sale of liquor in music halls came up for third reading, Mayor Hard3' advised the council to not take chances of expensive litigation by passing the bylaw. City Solicitor Leamy again said the law was bad and that the firm of Hal lett & Shaw had already been retained to quash it. Mr. Shaw stated that he had been so retained and thought the by-law could be quashed. The council passed the third reading, Aid. Sutherland and Fisher voting-contrary. l-:��&:giS-:&:6-:&:eS'5iee&:S@eg-:<��;c&. TO W ' �� ��?' w w w w w ro w m $ ��� w �� w w w w ����.��� w m ro w w w w w TO TO TO TO J. A. Druggist y'��. Midway.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1899-11-11 |
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. |
