V in te rn Vol, III, GREENWOOD, EG.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1897, 62 No, 10, GOVERNOR AND SENATOR. jQ^S was stated in The Times last week, Senator Mc- sln'nes has been appointed Iyieutenant-governor of British Columbia, to succeed Hon. IJJdgar Dewdney ^whose term of office has just expired. Mr. William Templeman, proprietor and managing-editor of the Victoria Times, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Mclnnes in the senate. Thegovernment has announced that Mr. Tenipleman had the solid support of the Liberals and of many Conservatives for the L,ieut-gover- norship and would undoubtedly have got the office had he insisted upon it. It was the personal wish of Sir Wilfrid i<aurier,, however, that he should take an active part in political life at Ottawa. Mr. Templeman also had the united support of the cabinet and his going to Ottawa is expected to strengthen the party in British Columbia. We were among those who urged Mr. Tern pieman's appointment to the L,ieutenant-governorship arid naturally feel disappointed at his not having secured it. That disappointment arises not because we do not believe that the interest of the Dominion and province are better served as matters have been arranged by the Premier, but because Mr; Templeman's services deserved the, fullest recognition at the hands of the government. It is of course true, that a governor of a province is a mere figure-head and that Mr. Mclnnes is therefore admirably suited for the position, while Mr. Templeman is too useful a man in political life to be shelved for four years. If he sees his way clear to accept the senatorship, the country is to be congratulated upon his appointment; if he has sacrificed his personal interests in the interests of his party .as he repeatedly did in the past then the government should have refrained from riding a willing horse to death. Senatorally the government made a good " swap." Mr. Templeman is a decided improvement upon his predecessor. If the Liberal government make many such appointments, the cry for senate reform will soon be a thing of the past. Mr. Templeman is a vigorous fighter in the political arena and as a senator he will be free to carry on an aggressive warfare against mal-administration. The best guage of Mr. Templeman's popularity in the province is to be found in the fact that although a resident of Victoria, his appointment has'met with almost universal approval on the mainland. The appointment should have been a mainland one and had any other island man received the position there would be many indignant protests from mainland liberals as well as Conservatives. The appointment is particularly gratifying to newspaper men because it shows that the government recognizes the service an honest and capable journalist renders to the state. The country is also to be congratulated for another reason. Mr. Templeman's appointment prevented Mr. Mc- I^agan from getting the position. Mr. Mcl/agan's elevation to any position would have been a political blunder of the worst description. 4fe 5% DAILY MAIL SERVICE. The Post-office department is calling for tenders for carrying the mail both ways between G-rand Forks and Midway on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The mail is to be carried either on horseback or by vehicle at the option of the carrier. It must be carried through Carson, Greenwood, Anaconda and Boundary Falls. Tenders must be in by December 17 arid the contract is to run from the first of , the-year.'," '���..���'-,"' As the mail service mentioned ia, the notice is for the days alternate to those included in the present contract, it is presumed that it is the intention of the post office departs ment to establish a daily service between Marcus and Midway. Owing to the enterprise of the people of Greenwood there is now a daily service (except Monday) between Marcus and Greenwood the government paying for three days in the week and the residents of Greenwood for the other 'three. . y ��\ ,'������..: To sa3r the least the--.method adopted by the post office department to establish a daily service is sure to lead to confusion. When the postmaster-general was requested some time' ago to make such arang-ements as would relieve the people of Greenwood from the necessity of paying directly for a daily service, he replied that the intention of the department was to establish a daily service between Penticton and Marcus. We believe that is exactly what ought to be done but cannot agree that the best way of securing the service is by parceling out small contracts for different portions of the route and different days in the week. A general contract for the speedy conveyance of mails between Penticton and Marcus should be awarded. Then there would be some inducement to the successful tenderer to have a fast stage line on the route. ���sfi? VffT REGISTER YOUR VOTE. The people of that portion of. the district of Kast Yale which is situated south of Penticton are hugging a delusion. The majority of 'them are strongly of the opinion that the revised voters' list for the district contains the names of sufficient electors who reside south of Penticton to force the government to give them a member. The list contains nothing of the kind and it would be folly for the electors to keep on believing that it does. We have sent for , the accurate figures, but from information that is reliable we are in a position to state the work of those who undertook to get names on the voters' list was not half done. There are at least 800 men qualified to vote residing in the district south of Penticton and about half of these are on the list. We are forced to come to the conclusion that the people are altogether too careless about political matters and this accounts for the vicious administration, of political affairs. We know constituencies where men are never satisfied until the name of every one entitled to vote is placed on the list. Here, the people do not have sufficient interest in the matter to make an organized effort. There are 400 names from south of Penticton to be placed on the l��ast Yale voters' list. These names must be enrolled if the district is to receive proper representation. They cannot be enrolled without organized effort. We would suggest a complete organization of the district with working committees in every section. Cascade City, Grand Forks, Carson, the Boundary Creek mining camps, Greenwood, Midway, Rock Creek, Camp McKinney, Osoyoos, Fairview, Penticton, the West Fork���every locality should have a committee who should never let up until every qualified elector is enrolled. We would urge the Grand Forks Miner and Midway Advance to agitate this matter. If the people of South-east Yale are to be left without direct representation'it will be their own fault. Unless they show more interest in this matter, they deserve to be disfranchised. Register your vote, and your neighbor's. THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, r T^f'z-f-rrr'T^t^yfWK^f'T'v^win'em Extensive Bottling Works. During his visit here, Mr. E. Blue^ made arrang-ements to establish =at= Greenwood a branch of the Eion Brew- Gvy, Rossland, of which he is president. A larg-e boiler will be placed in the saw mill for the purpose,, of securing- sufficient power to run steam bottling- works, soda water works, and cold st6r- ag-e. The Lion Brewery,is one of the. larg-est establishments of the kind in the province. The beer will be shipped here in carload dots and bottled at the local works. The Greenwood City. Mercantile Co. have secured the ag-eii- cy for the L/ion Brewery. Work on the new building-has been commenced and will be rushed to have the beer on the market as quickly as possible. Messrs. Blue and Fisher have also decided to secure a portable sawmill .'���which will be,placed in one of the timber limits in the district. The ..lumber, -will be hauled to Greenwood and the local mill will be used for planing-. Skating Rink. A meeting- was held in the office of Guess Bros, on Saturday night for the purpose of discussing- the advisability of constructing- an ice rink on Boundary Creek. The attendance was g-ood and the consensus of opinion was to the effect that a well constructed Jlce rink would furnish amusement during the winter months. The necessary money having been subscribed, a contract foi* constructing a dam on the old bed of Boundary creek was awarded Mr. D. Beath. He has already commenced work and will have the dam completed in a few days. ,, . The Alpha Claim. Messrs. J. R. GilrfiHen and J. G. Ohlert arrived in the city this week from Eagle mountain, where they have been doing- some development work on the Alpha claim. The Alpha adjoins the Eagle mine and is owned by the Rock Creek Gold & Copper Mining Co., of which J. H. Burnett of Spokane is president and manag-ing director. Messrs. Gillfillen and Ohlert did considerable work on the property, sinking-a shaft 32 feet and running- a tunnel. While working- on the Alpha they uncovered two well-defiiied veins of galena ore, running high in gold. . Messrs. Gillfillen and Ohlert own the Elmaand IXA., in Skylark camp, and other properties in the district. They leave in a few-days for Orcas Island, where Mr. Ohlert was the first to discover free milling- properties. Hotel Arrivals.

Father., Rivers, of Rossland reached Greenwood yesterday. He will hold services in the school house tomorrow morning". �� Harry Mounce, a well known miner and prospector, has decided to go to Klondyke. He will leave Greenwood for the Coast in a few days. In all probability a scheme will be made public in a few days, whereby Greenwood will shortly be furnished with an electric lig-ht system. g-ive The Midway Athletic Club will a supper and dance in McNicol's hall, Midway, on Thanksgiving- evening-. The club has' secured g-ood music. The Boundary Mines Company has purchased the Primrose from W. G: McMynn and Jas. Schoneld. The Primrose adjoins the Mother Eode. N. Clerf, who lives on the new town- site, had his ankle badly shattered this week. While hauling- wood he slipped and the heavy wag-on ran across his ankle. Householders who have resided in Greenwood since November 1st last year, are reminded that it will be necessary for them to make a declaration before their names can be enrolled on the municipal voters' list for 1898. A social dance was held in Rendell & Co's. hall Wednesday evening-. There was a larg-e attendance. Porter's orchestra furnished the music. It is the intention, to have similar dances weekly during- the winter months. W. T. Smith has transferred the Eclipse, Ruthie Bell, and Alice Maud mineral claims, to M. R. Galusha, T. Hoover, E. J. Dyer, W. M. Shaw, W. O'Brien, M. B. Donnelly, G. R. Dod- son, J. A. Drain, C. Hoffman and A. Castleman. The claims are located in Deadwood camp. An article from the pen of P. A. O'Farrell appears in the Coast papers. It deals with the mines of Boundary Creek and makes interesting- reading-. The mines of Greenwood and Wellington camp are mentioned, excepting- one of the best���the Golden Crown. This oversig-ht was probably not intentional. It is reported that Richard Armstrong-, representing- the Canadian Trust & Eoan Company, of Toronto, has offered 95 cents for Grand Forks bonds and that the offer will be accepted. The company desired however that Contractor Davey who has the contract for the waterworks should endorse the bonds. Mr. C. J. Eundy of Midway is on the sick list. J. J. Miller of the International hotel returned yesterdaj'- from Koote- nay. Mr. C. A. Scott, an Eng-lish mining- eug-ineer, is examining- the B. C. property in Summit camp.

Mr. Ronald, of Camp McKinney, is making- application to the rural license commissioners for a license to sell liquors at the new hotel which has just been erected at Camp McKin- ���ney. ���.���������' ' ..; The many friends of Aid. Hamill will regret to learn that he 'has- contracted typhoid fever, He is receiving- the best of medical treatment at Armstrong. The case is not an unusually severe one. Instead of a bridge, the government has decided "to place an overhanging- ferry across the West Fork of Kettle river. A bridge would cost more 'money than can be spared out of this year's appropriation for the district. Delayed Maii. Yesterday's stage from Penticton was over two-hours late in consequence of having been delayed by two of Mr. Bassett's freight teams which came to grief on the road. This was the -first time. for months the stage was late, Snodgrass' line being a model for punctuality. The roads have been exceedingty heavy for the past week and freig-hters are having- great difficulty in climbing the mountains. fjWfirm-TTt^v-wiM-^ ���vr*��^crLTJBg?��^l7^^-ry^jt".TT'��--!i^wri^7*y^,TJ' ;^,m- r-iyy Honors���World's Fair, Medal, Midwinter Fair.

Mr. Gault is one of the, directors of the Old Ironsides Company, and spent some time examining the Old Ironsides mine. He expressed himself as delighted with this .property in particular and the district in general. Mr. Gault was accompanied by Mr: Graves the manager of the compa/ny. They returned to Spokane on Sunday; Mr. Graves intended leaving for the east immediately upon his arrival there. ��������� The machinery at the Ironsides is working admirably and good progress is being made in the shaft. The ore has become softer and is getting richer as depth is attained. The Summit Road. The Summit road will be completed. Mayor Wood has so determined and of course the matter is definitely settled. When the Mayor returned last week he was greatly disappointed when he found that the work had been discontinued. In fact were he not a Christian, lie would have sworn. As it was he used some pretty strong .language and within 24 hours after he arrived a gang of men were at work under the supervision of Mr. Chas. Rendell. As there is now less than a mile'to build the road will be finished to the B. C. in a week or ten days.

According-to the British Columbia Review, an extraordinary general meeting- of the Recordia Syndicate, I^td., was held recently in London. The Recordia Syndicate was organized to send Mr. Woodhouse to British Columbia and the meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the advisability of merging the Syndicate into a larg*e company. "-'..' ..'?. Mr. Woodhouse's report to the Syndicate will prove exceedingly interesting reading- to the people, of Greenwood. Below are some excerpts therefrom : , ���'.; ." " Mr. Woodhouse stated that he and Mr. Munns came out to British Columbia in April to learn whether the reported mineral richness of the province could be corroborated by actual inspection. He came to the conclusion , that Boundary Creek district offered the greatest advantages. , * * *������ He .���..���decided to direct their energies towards acquiring interests in the "remarkable massive deposits of auriferous copper found in the Boundary district, and "which deposits, when they had been developed, were found to rapidly increase in the quantity of gold contained as depth Was reached. After very c careful inspection of numerous properties they selected a group of three mines (Anaconda group), in all 150 acres, which contained several lodes, one of which apparently was of a very massive character, certainly, as it could be proved at the present moment upwards of 50 ft. wide, the ore carrying for surface ' prospects remarkabl3r rich returns, both in copper and gold. These properties, which! lay about three miles from the City of Greenwood, had numerous , advantages. - * * The development work on these properties was being most energetically pushed forward by Mr. Munns. The ore deposits of the Boundary country' were certainly far greater than anything he had ever seen before, and he spoke with experience of India, Africa, and Australia. Nothing he could say could exaggerate the-marvelous mineral deposits of that country, which at the present moment merely awaited the introduction of capital for their development. *,������*���'* While recog-nising this most important feature^ Mr. Munns and himself, acting on behalf of this Syndicate, made arrangements with Mr. Thomas Rickard, representing the Dominion Exploration Company of British Columbia, and Mr. A. J. McMillan, connected with the British Columbia Mining Company, by which the}' were able to obtain interests in various options of great extent and value comprising townsites, thousands of acres of land, water rights, and thousands of acres of coal area���a coal that had been proved by analysis to be equal to any that had been produced in - that portion of British Columbia for coking and fuel purposes. In conjunction to the g-entlenian to whom he had referred they had secured 100 acres of land for a smelter site. In addition to that, the}' had secured 900 acres for certain, with the probability of another 1000 acres around the smelter site, and they had also the option of purchase of the present town of Grand. Forks, which to-day was not only incorporated but had its Mayor and Corporation. Regarding- the proposed smelting works, he might mention that the3r had advanced so far in the matter that a scheme had been roughly drawn up and had been privately shown to influential capitalists, who had given the most favorable consideration to the proposition. It would be, he thought, a really good thing, and it would be a matter for consideration whether it would not be as well for them to see if they could not carry it out themselves and take the bulk of the profit. He might further mention ,that they had secured interests in options on the town of Osoyoos, and they had further interests and options oh coal lands. They had land amounting to 600 or 700 acres in the neighborhood of Boundary Falls about four miles below Greenwood, and in addition to that the water power, of the Boundary Falls Creek, with a fall estimated at 350 feet, taking the whole water level. There were many other options or negotiations pending for the acquisition of further interests in this rising' country\,'' :' .,���;'" ��� ��� - .",;.. .- '. MINERAX ACT, 1896.

Greenwood has been incorporated over three months and the municipal wheel is still turning- without the assistance of a board of license corarais-, sioners. This is through no fault of the city council. The city fathers believed that a board of license commissioners was necessary to complete the machinery for municipal government and they told the government so ; they even had the temerity to recommend the appointment of two honorable and successful business men of the city to act with the Mayor as license commissioners. All this happened over two months ago, but there are yet no license commissioners. The government would have appointed the commissioners long ago, so the Attorney-General said, but for the Iyieuteiiant-Governor ; he had the tantalizing habit of running off to, Kootenay when he ought to have known that there were orders-in-coim- cil to be''sig-ned. But that excuse.no longer avaiieth,���because we read' in the Colonist last week that Hon. Edgar Dewdney, lieutenant-governor, opened the new parliament buildings and that his name had been cut in a tablet of brass. Now the Attorney - General must have been at that ceremony,' and he is a man of quick resources. We are surprised that when he saw the first syrUible of Hon. Bdg-ar's last name, that a celebrated brand of Scotch whiskej' did not suggest itself to him. Scotch whiskey would surely, sugg-est license commissioners ; there was his opportunitj^ ; he should have rushed to the Attorney-General's office, secured the order-in-council, and had it signed before the brass tablet. We sincerely regret that the Attorney-General did not,rise to the occasion. His neg-lect to do so has left Greenwood without a board of license commissioners and the opportunity was lost of conferring a distinct honor on the city by having- it associated in this modest way with the brass tablet and the opening- of the parliament biiilding-s. vSeriousl)r speaking-, the absence of a board; of license commissioners will entail a'hardship on those who have invested heavily in hotel "building's and is a distinct encouragement to liquor dealers to evade the law. According- to the act under which Greenwood was incoi-|Dorated, it is the duty of the Board of License Commissioners to hold a special meeting- at a time to be fixed by the Mayor, not less than one month or more than six weeks after the date of the municipal election. Such a clause surely places upon the government the responsibility of. seeing that there is a Board of License Commissioners. The Mayor would have been quite willing- to call a meeting- of tlie board had the commissioners been appointed. In December, five hotels in Greenwood will ask that they be granted city licenses for the first time. To do this they must g-ive the usual notice for thirty , days before the sitting- of the board. These hotel keepers have no means of knowing- when the board will be appointed or when it will sit or whether there will be a board to grant licenses when the old ones expire. Unless the attorney-general wishes to encourage people to sell liquor without license, he will buttonhole the lieutenant-governor some day in the near future and get him to sign that order- in-counciL It is currently reported that the provincial legislature will; sit early in January next year. The L/e Roi smelter at North port is nearing completion." The tall stack will be finished in a few days. Cumberland has been incorporated under the Speedy Incorporation Act. Cumberland is the new name for Union, a coal mining town on Vancouver Island. Theodore Durrant was supposed to have been hanged yesterdaj^ morning for the murder of Blanche Ivainont and Minnie Williams at San Francisco, in April, 1895. As Durrant has almost reached the scaffold several times since the murder was committed, it is possible that the hanging- did not take place. , - ��� :; , ��� :.

This mine hays now been developed to such an extent that it would be a waste of time to produce ore without transportation facilities arid consequently it will be closed down for the winter. Mr. Reu- ger will return shortly to his home in Butte. Trade Licenses. The city council has been the target for considerable criticism on account of its action in inflicting a heavy trade license on peddlers from the Okanagan district. While we do not believe in restricting trade by the imposition of taxes of any kind, there is a good deal to be��sai(i in favor of the license. The peddlers are generally well-to-do farmers who while selling their products live in their wagons. They spend no money in the city, have no taxes to pay and take away considerable cur-, rency each trip they make. Were the system of taxation now in vogue an equitable one we would not be in f avor of extorting any taxes from the Oka- naganers but when we fine our own citizens for being enterprising enough to engage in business and try to discourage their improving the city by taxes on any improvements they may make why should we not discriminate against people who come from a distance ? The present S3'_stem of imposing licenses is unsatisfactory alike to the city and, to the peddlers. We would suggest that in the new bj^-law to be introduced provision be made for the collection of a nominal sum on each load of produce as soon as it arrives in the city and that a penalty be inflicted upon the peddler who broaches the load without first paj'ing the amount mentioned. We do not think any peddler would object to the payment of a reasonable stim every time he comes to the cit}r, while he does strongly object to paying $25 for a six months' license. By taxing each load the revenue of the city, we believe, would be increased. We do not think that such a course would be ultra vires of the municipal act.

The Boundary Creek Times publishes com- ��� munications on matters of public interest, but disclaims any responsibility for the opinions expressed in this column. nsEDiTOR, Boundary Creek Times: ','.'* Several months ag-o a committee was appointed to investigate certain charges regarding- the administration of justice in the County of Yale. I was informed that this committee would sit at Camp McKinney, Vernoii and Grand ForksV By last mail I was informed that Judge McColl will sit at Vernon on Dec. 15th next, for the purpose of taking the evidence of any one who may desire to be heard. I have, of course, sent a protest to Judge McColl and also to the Minister of Justice and will take other measures, as I claim it is a denial of justice to ask a man of limited means to bring witnesses over trails from 100 to 200 miles in the depth of winter. Every one living- south of Penticton knows that Okanagan L/ake freezes over nearly every winter, and as there will be considerable delay in Vernon some ma}' have to return by way of Victoria or Rossland. Besides, the irreg-ularities complained of have happened in this section and the witnesses are all here and of course the charg-es can not be substantiated without them. I wish, therefore, throug-h the medium of your journal to ask the assistance of every right-minded man in using his influence to see that this commission is held where it was originally intended or else at some accessible point south of Penticton." R. G. Sidney. Sidley, B,C, Nov. 6th, 1S97. [Without wishing to express any opinion regarding- the circumstances leading up to the appointment of Mr. Justice McColl, as a commissioner to investigate the charges referred to in the above 'communication, we are strongly of the opinion that Mr. Sid- ley's x>osition is well taken. If the department of Justice considered the charges were sufficiently grave to warrant the appointment of a commisson, it should also see that every facility is offered to those who believe the}7" can substantiate those charges. The commission will prove unsatisfactory to all concerned if held at Vernon because witnesses will not undertake the expense of going there and they will always feel that an opportunity was denied them of attempting- to prove the charg-es made. If the commissioner is determined to sit only at one place, that place oug-ht to be reasonably near the homes of the witnesses.���Ed.

Title | The Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1897-11-13 |
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. |
