After a short address of welcome he called on Mr; Bostopk. Mr, Bostock!s address was confined to local issues. He said that after the railway he rdid not see any reason why Greenwood should not be made a customs output, and he would take the matter up with the department. The mail service would be improved as' soon- as; the rail--; way, was in regular running order. _ With reference to the railway, Mr. Bostock stated that the rates were under government' control and if any discriminatory rates were charged the Board of Trade should report the matter to the'railway-.'department.

A Wellington Camp Group of Claims���Winnipeg Sinking on New Strike���Large Specimens From the Golden Crown���Banner. Nearing ��� the Ledge���Snowshoe Drifting in Ore. Jack Farrell is working: on "tlie Buttercup, a claim lying* north of the Athelstan,' in Wellington camp. This is considered one of the most promising properties in the camp. There is a 50-foot shaft on the claim and a number of open cuts. In all about "$2,000 has been expended in development. Very. rich copper-g-old ore has been taken from the shaft. The Buttercup is one of a group of claims, situate about a mile from the Winnipeg, which include,, the Athelston, Mollie Pritchard, Jack Pot, Iron Clad, Butte and Edith L. .The Athelston has a 95- foot incline shaft, a 60-foot shaft, and a drift of 50 feet from the bottom of the shaft. The Mollie.Pritchard has a 25- foot shaft and two assessments done on surf ace work. The Jack Pot has a 45-foot shaft and an open cut 12x6x4 feet. The Butte has a 50-foot shaft. The Iron . Clad has a 12rfoot shaft and several open cuts, one of which is 30 feet in length. The Edith L. had two assessments done on it, consisting of a shaft 10sfeet deepl-and surface crosscuts. Average ; assays ; in the group run from, $18^tof;^. \ Between this group and; the ^Winnipeg ' and Golden Grown are the Calumet and'Hecla. The Golden Crown, Wellington camp, is being-developed from the 300 and 150-foot levels. Good ore is being taken out at 300-foot. Ori the dump are two large blocks of ore taken from the shaft, one about 3,000 and the other 2,�� 000 pounds weight. It was intended to send one of these to the Spokane, fair, but when the freighter, ^backed up to. the dump and found he could not, lift either lumps of ore,, he concluded:, not to handle such, unwieldly exhibits. The blocks are very fine specimens of ore, and it is to be regretted that th��y were not among* the Boundary exhibits at Spokane. , E. A- Bielenberg,-brought down a nice specimen of ore from the Burns claim in Deadwood camp on Saturday last. The specimen contained :native copper, peacock copper and ,7 copper pyrites.. The Burns adjoins -the Buck- horn and is the property of the Arlington-Burns Gold and Copper company, recently floated by Mr.' Bielenberg*. The specimen was taken from the shaft at a depth of eight feet. The ledge on the Burns has been proved to be nearly 20 feet in width, and Mr: Bielenberg places it among the great claims of Deadwood camp. Thos. Walsh, of Greenwood, has had a force of men at work . for the past three month's on his claims in Greenwood, camp, lying east of the Snowshoe and Pheasant. The claims are the Lucy, Emerald, Virginius, Colorado, Cliff and Frisco. On the Emerald their is a shaft 34 feet in depth/and on the Frisco a 25-foot shaft. The Cliff has been developed by an 18-foot tunnel, and on the Lucy two tunnels.have been run, one 15 and the other 12 feet. The claims are all snowing- up : well. The ore is quartz, carrying copper pyrites. . Assessment work has just been completed on the Missing Link, a claim lying between the. War Eagle and Monarch, in Greenwood camp, about one mile south of .Phoenix. The work done on the claim consists of about 300 feet of surface crosscuts. The, property is showing up- well, and from its position, near the big ledges of the camp, shotiId be one of the shippers. G. W. Rumberger and W. J. Porter are the owners. J. M. Taylor is working on the Pibroch in Wellington camp. The claim adjoins the Wellington on the north. . He has just completed assessment work on the California, another Wellington camp property. The work done on the California consists of a 160-foot tunnel, which has been run in ledge matter nearly the whole distance. The ore is copper-gold and gives good assays. There are now 210 miners working on the properties in Greenwood camp, besides carpenters, street graders, etc., making the tota 1 nnmber of men employed, in the camp about ,400; a pay_ roll of 81,300 per day in the <��� camp. This force will be doubled before the end of the year. And Greenwood is only one of the six great camps of the Boundary district. Assessment work has been done on the Bullion for this year. The work done is a 40-foot shaft. The Bullion lies north of the New York and Brook- Continued on Page 7. ""f/mmjiB' ���Z* .....The Best Beer In Town's Made by The.....

Company^Descriptiori of the Properties Owned by the Above Named^Corporation���Big Ledges of Pay Ore on the Sunset and Crown Silver. Extensive Preparations Which Are Being Made to Develop the Claims Under the Management of Mr, Henry Johns���A Big Plant, A visit Xo the Sunset; the principal property of the Montreal Boundary Creek Mining company,.limited, cannot but impress* one with the magnitude and. importance of the intended operations of the country. The excavation for, large buildings to house a big plant; the erection of residences and offices, and the many; signs of activity shown���all impress one with the confidence the company have in the success of their big undertaking. ; .- On Saturday last the writer was'the guest of Mr. W. L. Hogg, who took a party to visit the mines. / Mr. Hogg has beenv connected with the Sunset for several years. He spent; a large amount of money; in developing the property and/always had- the greatest confidence in;it. Included in the party were Mr. Edward Woodhead, a wealthy business man of Liverpool,''England, Mr. F. J. .Finucane, manager of the Bank of Montreal, and Mr. John Hamill, of Armstrong, B. C. Under the guidance of, Mr. Henry Johns, the manager, the party visited the workings, saw the big ledges ;and. were interested in the extensive preparations that are being- made to install the big plant! Mr. Hogg is-very greatly pleased at the changes in the Sunset since the tmie he bonded the property three years ago. ,��� .' 7*' It- is a different looking]'Sunset: to that of two years and a half ago. The writer'then visited' the'property and . there was nothing to be seen,excepting a tunnel which was being' ritn into the mountain., A short time previous to this Mr. W. L. Hogg, manager of the Inyestment. company of Montreal, bonded the .Sunset add Crown Silver. Development work was vigorously prosecuted under the superintendence of J. H. Macfarlane. The CO. D. and'Florence fraction were also purchased by Mr. Hogg. A few months ago Mr. Hogg floated the Montreal Boundary Creek Mining company, limited, to acquire and still further develop the properties mentioned. The flotation was one of the most successful in the history .of the,mining operations in Montreal���a city which always looked with favor upon Boundary Creek properties7 Mr. Hogg succeeded in interesting some of the strongest financial men of the east, as the personnel of the company will show. Hon. Senator Ogoilve, is at the head of* the company, and with him on the directorate are Hon. Senator Turner, Quebec, Mr. T. W. Horn, a wealthy . manufacturer of -Toronto, Mr. W. Barclay Stephens, manager of the Western Loan and Trust company, Mr. W. L. Hogg, manager of the Investment company, and Mr. James G. Ross, of the firm of P. S. Ross & Sons, the well kfiown auditors, The capitalization is 162,000,000. The treasury stock has. been so extensively, purchased that the company have ample funds: for the purchase of the big plant which is now en route and for the vigorous development of the property. LOCATION. The properties owned by the company occupy a unique position, so far as cheap, economical'Shipping of ore is concerned. They are situated in Dead- wood camp, about two miles from the city of Greenwood. The Deadwood camp branch of the Canadian Pacific railway passes within 30 feet of the working shaft on the Sunset. There is a down hill grade to the smelter, which is being built within a mile of the company's properties. DEVELOPMENT WORK. The tunnel on the Sunset is 480 feet in length. There are four crosscuts from the tunnel, aggregating 175 feet of work. Ninety feet from the mouth of the tunnel is a winze 60 feet deep. The working shaft strikes the tunnel at a depth of 100 feet and continues another 85 feet. At this level (185 feet) there are 300 feet of drifts and crosscuts. The first shaft has been enlarged to a double compartment working shaft, 4^x5 feet in the clear. It is lined from the collar with 12x12 tim bers-' to a depth of 25 feet, and then by 10x10 timbers. The whole work on the property, including the shaft, totals 1,350 feet. ; LEDGES.-- 7 ��� The ledges are genuine Deadwood camp ledges, over 100 feet wide and traceable for long distances, with chutes' of good values.' The dip is about 65 degrees. .The visitor to the mine has no difficulty in locating the vein.; The railway graders cut through the' bright: magnetic7 iron * arid it has been again uncovered in the excavations for the shaft house. The railway follows the big ledge for a distance of 300 feet. It-;is at least 75 feet wide, where exposed/at the shaft-house, and it has been/traced to the Crown Silver, an adjoining property. Generally speaking, the ore is magnetic iron, carrying gold and copper and yielding average values of $25. There are chutes of calcite carrying chalopyrite which return much higher values. The ore will receive a glad welcome at any smelter. It is practically a self-fluxing ore.. The development work so far has not been directed towards blocking out the ore bodies, but rather to place the mine in a position to engage in this work on a large scale. It would be difficult to surmise, the vanity, of ore that can be taken out of a drift along one of ��� the big ledges... From surf ace indications, the ledge on the' Primrose^ that has been cut by the railroad, is a continuation of the ledge running through'the Sunset, and Crown Silver. In addition to this there is another parallel vein to the west, fully 150 feet wide. It has not been openedupto any great extent, but has been exposed by-surface work for 200 feet. The values are similar to those on the first ledge mentioned. BUILDINGS. The Montreal-Boundary Creek company were fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Henry Johns. His long aud successful connection with' other big mining properties ensures careful and . competent management. Mr. Johns is at present engaged in ��� the work of. preparing for the big plant that ''has been purchased by the company. The shaft house which is being erected will be a substantial frame building, 30x30, and 55 feet in height. Inside is the gallows, frame, 45 feet high, built of timbers, 14x16, and of sufficient strength to haul two double- deck cages from a depth of 1^500 feet. The hoist-house is 50x30 and 35 feet high. There is a wing 50 feet in length and 36 feet wide. Here will tie installed the electric dynamo, engine and compressor. There are also a carpenter shop, 16x12;'a blacksmith shop, 16x12; offices, bath rooms, bunk houses, board- house, etc. The manager's residence, which is gearing completion, is a model of neatness and comfort. It occupies a delightful position on a slope convenient to the mine. Indeed, no better site could be imagined than that occupied by all the buildings. It is in this respect a. happy contrast to that on many oth.er mining properties where there is nothing to relieve the monotony of barren rocks. THE PLANT. The plant for the mine was purchased from the James Cooper Manufacturing company, of Montreal, and is now on seven C. P. R. cars oh its way to the mine. The plant is the largest. yet purchased to develop a Boundary Creek property. It comprises a 20-drill compressor and a 25- horse power hoist with a Ledgewood friction drum and an inch steel cable. There are two 80-horse power boilers and all the necessary appliances that go with a mining plant. This plant will be installed and in running order by the first of the year. WATER. Water for the plant and residences' will be secured from Deadwood creek, a mountain stream that empties into Copper creek. A pumping station has already been erected on the stream and a large resvoir will be built on the 500,000 Shares Placed in Treasury. Capital, $2,100,000, in $1.00 Shares. -.;X PROPERTY: The Sunset Claim, Similkameen District DIRECTORS. R. A. BROWN, Esq., Grand Forks, B. C, President.

From here a drift will be run along'.the ore to the Crown Silver, a distance of over 1,200 feet. From this drift a large quantity of shipping ore will be taken. Work will be continued in other directions so that within a resonable length of time the Montreal-Boundary Creek company's properties can be classed among the shippers.

Duncan Ross ..J '...:....:..... .....Editor W. J. Harder..... ......Manaf*er. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20,1899. A DISTINGUISHED KNOCKER. Promising properties are often targets for a certain class of mining men, commonly known as knockers. These gentlemen do not make violent pretensions to respectability and are seldom accused of being honest. , They are to be found in nearly every mining camp and while they are tolerated their conduct disg-usts all legitimate mining men. The Sunset in the Simlikameen district, has sufficient merit to attract the attention of a gentleman who is a veritable Beau Brummel among the knockers. The Hon. C.H. Mackintosh, ex-lieutenanant-governor of the Northwest territories, ex-M. P., the founder of the B. A. C, the Cecil Rhodes of British Columbia, turns aside from ��� legitimate mining for the purpose of damaging a property in the Similkameen district. ��� Mr. Mackintosh enjoys the advantages that success brings. He trades upon his position in the mining world in order that he may the more effectively carry out his purposes. His plan of campaign is as contemptible as it is brilliant. The work of his fine Italian hand can * be seen in the Toronto. Globe. An innocent looking paragraph in the mining column, of that eminently respectable paper is not as innocent as it appears. It shows how mean a disappointed great man can become. The paragraph follows: "Mr. C.' H. Mackintosh writes : A telegram dated from Grand Forks, Sept. 30, and published in various newspapers, refers to 'a hitch in the negotiations' with reference to the purchase by me of a property known as the Sunset, in the Similkameen district of British Columbia. A further intimation is made^ that the owners have decided to stock the property. The very fact that we decided not to stock the property accounts for the ���hitch in the negotiations.' The final report on the Sunset and surrounding claims was made by Mr. W. J. Collins, an eminent mining engineer, and Mr. D. J. Macdonald, formerly superintendent of the Columbia and Kootenay mine, both g-entlemen having . been connected with the British America Corporation. Our people have determined to place no property on the market unless developed, and the two experts in question decided that there was not sufficient ore in sight to justify flotation, holding that it would require two years to make a proper investigation, and that the surrounding circumstances did not warrant asking the public to invest. As my name has been connected with the property I deem it only fair to make: this explanation. Our firm has already expended considerable amount of money, but sacrificed it rather than ask investors to sacrifice theirs." The honest, straightforward Mr. Mackintosh apparently evinces a very laudable desire to protect investors from, sacrificing their money in the Sunset. But what are the facts? Mr. Mackintosh agreed to pay $40,000 for a 15-32 interest in the' Sunset. He held the option for 12 months without spending a cent on the property. After D. J. Macdonald, to whom he refers, examined the property, Mr. Mackintosh deposited $40,000 with the Bank of Montreal, Rossland, in payment for the , interest in accordance with the agreement, and Mr. Brown, the owner, was notified to put in the title deeds and he would get the money. Afterwards he withdrew the amount because the conveyance from the owner had not been left in the bank. Brown could have forced Mr. Mackintosh to pay the money, but he eagerly jumped at the opportunity to secure a return of his interest in the Sunset, In his note to the Toronto Globe, Mr. Mackintosh cleverly leaves the impres- sion that his firm had expended a considerable amount of money on the Sunset. The truth is, that neither he nor his firm spent anything on the Sunset. Mr. Mackintosh did drop a thousand in interfering with another man's negotiations for adjoining properties. If Mr. Mackintosh were as ingenuous as he is ingenious in the art of knocking, he would tell an anxious public that his conduct has been prompted by chagrin; that his experts reports on the Sunset are favorable and that he has still as good an opinion as he ever had regarding the merits of the property. He would say that he was playing a deep game���that he wanted to secure all the interests in the Sunset and surrounding properties, and that he is bitterly doing business. This accounts for the extraordinary conduct of Mr. Mackintosh. Even distinguished mining men have their moments of weakness. Mr. Mackintosh will have to change his tactics before he can retain and command the respect of mining men, which is so necessary in carrying on a successful mining business. Mr. Mackintosh's conduct in regard to the Sunset is so unusual that we took the trouble to malce minute inquiries regarding the Sunset. Statements made by mining' men who spent the summer in. the Similkameen confirm everything in Dr. Deeks'report which appears in another column. In fact D. J. Macdonald, Mr. Mackintosh's own expert, spoke most favorably regarding the property upon his return from the Similkameen. Mr. Mackintosh's professions on public occasion, are out of touch with his actions in reference to his Similkameen negotiations. At the banquet in Rossland, tendered to htm, he is reported to have given expression to the following' sentiment: "Mr. Mayor, reference is made to my generous nature and admirable "traits of character. I answer, if to love my fellow-man, if to refrain from injuring his feelings, if to endeavor to do unto others as I \vould have-others do unto me���if these be symbolic, of a generous nature, I can without vanity accept, the compliment." ��5 4> *' 4�� FIRST SHIPMENT OF Clothing: Hats and Caps, Neckwear, 4* ���+������/������������ ���+ FOR FALL * JUST ARRIVED. * * W.M.

Secretarr Voters' List In city municipalities the list of voters shall be closed on the first Monday in December or in about six weeks. The advantages of having- every qualified resident registered are many. There are many householders having the necessary qualification who will fail to register unless an' organized effort is made. A British subject owning real estate in the city and who hits paid his or her taxes or a British subject who is a householder and has resided in the city for 12 months is qualified to vote. Householders must make a declaration, and it is here where tlu danger lies. Unless their attention is personally called to the matter, many householders will neglect to make the necessary declaration. In this connection the city council ought to interest themselves in the matter of a large voters', list for provincial and federal elections. The political power of a city or district often and very properly depends on its voting strength. If the number of unregistered electors are neglected, the political interests of the district cannot receive that attention their importance warrants. The city council should make suitable provision to have all municipal voters registered; at the same time those having charge of the registration could attend to the provincial and federal lists, Head Office and Works at BEI.IvEVIT.LB, Ont.

SUNSET MINERAL CLAIM. and the Erief Description of the, Property Great Promise it Has^ The Sunset mineral claim on Copper mountain, Similkameen distric, has attracted, notwithstanding its long distance from transportation, a great deal of interest during the past two or three years, and has been under option several times during that period, always at a big sum, and each time at a larger figure. Its fame during last year brought many prospectors into its vicinity, and swarms of them this year, and the whole country for miles around has been staked. Its isolation from a railway line will soon be a thing of the past, as the C. P. R. has, during the ' summer, had a.big corps of engineers in the country between Midway and Hope station on the main line, determining and surveying out the most feasible route for-their short line across ' the province, and it is said that the results are very satisfactory, and Engineer Dennis stated that the C.P.R. will build the line in 1900 and the line must go within ten miles of Copper mountain, and a spur line will of course be built to it. \ < The report of Dr. Deeks on the Sunset; is stated by all who know the pro- pert to be a most conservative one. One gentleman who had an option on the, Sunset at one time, and who spent a great deal of 0 time in prospecting it, declares that, wherever he found rock cropping through the soil and broke into it he invariably got a showing of copper. He sent a 60-pound sample of the better class of ore to the Orient Chemical works at Trenton, New Jersey, and the assay returns were 57 =per--cent copper and $8.20 in gold. The analyst stated that the ore could be most cheaply treated by electrolysis at a cost of $1,60 to $2 per ton. The ore is one also that will smelt at. a very cheap rate. The dump at the SO-foot shaft was sampled this year by a mining engineer, and gave an average of seven per cent, and this notwithstanding that several tons of the choicest ore had been previously culled out for sampling purposes, and by visitors and prospectors. When the latter were shy of good specimens on their neighbor locations, this dump could always be drawn upon. The values in the shaft sunk have shown a steady increase in evalue as depth was gained, and by culling out the cleaner ore, which woald not exceed one-third, an averge of IS per cent copper can be got. Taking Dr. Deek's dimensions of vein���100 feet at one end and 750 feet at the other end of claim���will give an average width of 425 feet.with 1,500 feet length, Taking the 50 feet depth attained will give 31,875,000 cubic feet, and taking 12 cubic feet to the ton, will give 2,- 756,250 tons. Discarding two-thirds of this as waste, will leave nearly 900,000 tons, which should average 6 per cent to 8 per cent copper (Dr. Deeks' estimate) besides gold and silver values and would have large profits, for such ore would have a gross value of $15 to $20 while with reasonable railway facilities, the cost of mining, freight and treatment should not exceed $6 or $7. There is abundance of water power and excellent smelter sites \vith- Mineral Act, 1896.

With depth copper glance, running- 75 per cent in copper, is found. The claim covers 52 acres, and was located in 1892 by R. A. (Volcanic) Brown of Grand Forks, B. C. The Sunset is the banner claim on Copper mountain, and so far as developed has no competitor for size of lead and values in British Columbia.

Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Times Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1899-10-21 |
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. |
