Blclenberg's Mining Operations Has lirouslit a New Camp to ?t'ie' Front. The Biickhorn, Arlington Burns and Iron Top Groups. Immense Ore Bodies-Good Values.v . Probably no early pioneer of the Boundary creek country deserves as much credit for its rapid development as E. A. Bielenberg-. From-the time he sold the Anaconda group to the present da!y he has spent largie sums of ��� money in increasing- the list of big properties in the district. Mr. ��� Bielenberg individually, has. spent over $25,000 in purchasing aud developing properties. That he lias been successful is due to his pluck and perseverance more than to any, favors showered upon ' him bjr dame fortune. Up to the time Mr. Bielenberg began ; operations' there, South Deadwood was an unknown and unappreciated.mining camp. To-day it is attracting the attention of mining; nien bacause of the rich ore bodies uncovered by his efforts. ','.-" Mr. Bielenberg had a long experience in the business world before coming to this district. . For two years he managed a coffee plantation at the headwaters of the Amazon in Peru, South America. Afterwards he was paymaster for five and a half years on the Hutchinson estate Hawaiian Islands owned by Claus Speckles of San Fran- eisco the well known Sugar King. He also.carried on mining operations in Montana and after coming to British .......... -O- ; ��� ��� "'.', V ..... Columbia ,w,as manager of the pioneer store a?t Ainsworth in the well known Slpcan mining, district. Mr. Bielenberg still .retains large and valuable mining interests in the Slocan. Since coming here he has been, ever on the alert to secure valuable mining interests and his many friends are congratulating him upon the great success which has attended his efferts. As has already been stated.he is the father of< South Deadwood camp. .Until the winter of 1897 thiscamp was unknown. Then Mr. Bielenberg purchased the Buckhorn group and at once began vigorous development work. The Buckhorn group is no?,v classed among the big properties of the Boundary creek district, on account of its large ore bodies and exceptionally high values in gokt and copper, one ore body averaging over 560. The Buckhorn was sold to a strong company at the head of which is Rufus Pope, M.P., F. P. Buck and Messrs. Bailey of Sherbrooke, Quebec. Mr. Bielenberg is also largely interested in the company. ��� Adjoining the Buckhorn group are the Arlington, Burns, Blue Bell, Buck horn No. 2 and Burns fraction owned by Mr. Bielenberg-. He has spent a large sum in their development; On the group are 10 shafts ranging from 17 to 40, feet in depth and 900 feet of open cuts. This work discloses an ore body 200 feet in length and 600 feet wide on the surface. An ore body which runs from the Buckhorn across the Arlington and Burns has been un- covefedfor a width of 212 feet by crosscuts and shafts. This ore was -sampled by J. C. Haas, M. E., and Mr. Bielenberg and from the shafts dumps, and open cuts they obtained from S15.45 in gold and 20 1-5 per cent in copper down to V/i per cent copper and. 65 cents in gold. Twenty-five samples taken by Mr. Haas and Mr. Bielenberg gave the following values: No. Gold.

These samples were taken from a distance of 212 feet across the ledge. When it is considered that the samples were taken from this distance without any preference being made for picked ore, it shows there-is on the Arlington-Burns one of the most rem.arka.ble ore bodies in a district:of marvelous mining properties; ! :'.- ? - ���' '.'f .��� Lying directly west and north of the Arlington-Burns is the Iron Top group, also owned by Mr. Bielenberg, and comprises . the Iron Top, Piccadilly, Scranton, Copper Trust, Iron Top Fraction and Otis Fraction. Upon this group marvelous bodies of copper-gold ores Jiave been discovered and eleven distinct ore chutes have been opened opened up, either by shafts or crosscuts. The development work includes eight shafts varying in depth from '40 feet to 16 feet and crossuts aggregating over 900 feet. Development in the Iron Top group disclosed ore dissimilar to anything heretofore found in theBoun- dary district, at least in Deadwood camp. The ore is chalcopyrite and bornite and seventeen assays . went from 43 per cent copper, $8 in gold and 10 ounces in silver to 1^ per cent copper aud S3 in gold. This property will be opened up by two parallel tunnels 300 feet apart, cutting the ore bodies at right "angles. The development of South Deadwood j camp : has attracted -tlie attention of j the Canadian Pacific Raihvaj- com- I pany, and already a spur from the Deadwood branch line is being surveyed to pass through the Buckhorn, Arlington, Burns and Iron Top groups. This spur will be built early next spring and will afford the properties cheap shipping facilities to the smelter at Greenwood, only one and three- quarter miles distant from the camp. The development of the properties mentioned indicate that South Dead- wood camp will soon become one of tlie largest in the district.

Explosion in the Mine Injures Three Men���Two are Badly Hurt- Tuesday afternoon at the B. C. mine in -Summit''camp, a most serious accident occurred, caused by a powder explosion and resulting in severely injuring William McBride, and A. L. Watson in the face, as also William Essenson,'slightly. The two former were on Wednesday afternoon's train taken to Rossland, where both have their h ome. At the same time an eye specialist from . Spokane was telegraphed for who met the injured men at Rossland. Essenson, although receiving painful wounds, is at the B. C. mine and able to be around. While nothing definite is known here as to the real extent of the men's injuries it- is said that Watson will lose his eyesight. Both he and McBride were terribly burnt in the face. The accident was caused through .the non-explosion of one of the shots at the time of the noon firing. The three men went back into the mine after the noon hour and started to muck out, when, a pick struck the unexploded charge causing a frightful explosion and the men's injuries. Dr. Gordon, of Phoenix, was hastily summoned, as also was Dr. Foster, of Greenwood, before the arrival at the mine of the latter-physician, Dr. Gordon had attended to the injured men and as far as could possibly be done relieved the men of their intense suffering. ^nimtjmmmmrmfmmte- QUARLES AE.

Mining: Properties Examined AND REPORTED ON. An Important Case. A case of interest to all claim-owners came up before Judge Spinks in the county court held in Greenwood on Tuesday last. It was an action brought by John Mulligan against Louis Fisher, of the Phoenix sawmill, claiming damages from timber cut;, and taken from the Wheeling mineral claim. The case was adjourned after the evidence of the plaintiff was taken, and one month was given the lawyers in which to put in a stated case. It is probable that ah appeal will be taken from the decision of the county court judge, no'matter which side wins, as the action was brought principally to obtain an interpretation of the mineral act in reference to ownership of timber oh mineral claims and uses to which the timber can be put. The claim- owners of the district have combined to fight the lumber combine, and so the case will in all likelihood be taken to the supreme court, and the matter settled for all time.

The British loss is slight. The plan of operations on both sides unfold slowly. The Boer invasion of Cape Colony continues steadily and rapidly to prevent junction of British- forces at Estcourt . and Ladysmith. Delayed Cape Colony reports announces the arrival of more German officers and artillerymen-who volunteered service with the Boers. The English plan is three-fold to advance from Durban to Ladysmith, from Orange river to Kimberly/ and from East London via Oueenstown to Bur- ghersdorp. The British hope to early secure the complete control of Orange river. The debarkation of troops at Capetown is progressing satisfactorily. Eighteen hundred and fifty cars have been collected there for the convej-ance of troops northward. Six thousand Boers are foraging for food near Grey- town.

A Study in Booms. A recent number of the National Review contains an article on .tlie .Klondike, under:the above caption, by Ernest 33. Williams. The gentleman may be right, or approximately so, in his figures but his conclusion is wrong. But here is what he says : He makes the startling statement that about $50,- 000,000 have already been invested in ���the Klondike, and that only about $20,- 000,000 have been taken out. He estimates the number of Klondike prospectors at 30,000, and figures that the average amount spent by each is over $1,500. With these figures before him the gentleman says: "The world would have .been $30,000,000 better off- if it had never-heard of the Klondike." , The last remark will not meet general endorsement. If his figures be correct the( world will be the gainer by $20,000,000, for that $30,000,000expended are not lost they simply changed hands. That is all. Of course hardships suffering and death have been the handmaids of those who pursued the trails to Klondike, but they always hold office in all ventures, They can't be reckoned a factor against the $20,000,000 gained in the last two year's privations. ��� We are speaking about money now. "But the-world is not done with Klondike yet. There are, doubtless, millions resting: under the ice, of that region which may be thawed into the pockets of jminers.. When;the final accounting- shall be made it may be learned that Klondike has paid for its discovery and left a goodly sum to its credit.���Western; Mining World. . f; <Missingv; Ore '.Bodies.;? ...'��� How haphazzard mining is after all, and with what extraordinary persistence bodies of ore are -sometimes overlooked, remarks a mining exchange. A case-in point is the recent discovery on the surface of the Black Bear at Rossland. The Black Bear shows the outcrop of a ledge upon which pits have been sunk from the flat on which the L,e Roi compressor stands up to the crest of the; hill. A- tunnel was also started by the original locator, sup posed to drift in off the vein. In all of this work no indications of values were discovered, and. the L,e Roi company bought the claim, so it. is reported,' for $500. The company continued the tunnel but desiring to use it as a melins of exit-to? the mine,., bore away to the north. This summer, to carry out the proposed development scheme of the lie Roi, this tunnel is being eriliarged and 'improved', and extensive grading was undertaken at the mouth, where a shop for framing timbers was con templated. ; This involved blasting the top off the ledge capping, which has been lying stripped'for years. The result was more than ten feet of beautiful ore, carrying fair values in gold and high percentage in copper. The portal of the tunnel is within six feet of .this ore, Four sticks of giant powder and four hours' work; would have made a difference to the original locator of between .$500, and $50,000, or if he held his property till now, between $500 and $500,000, but the tunnel started above the ore and bearing north,1 remained above and to one side of it all the way. The obvious moral is never to run a drift tunnel to show up property without crpssctttting, and do not be afraid of surface work. The latest phase of the strike situation���the importation of Italian laborers���is a menace to the existence of the city of Sandon, and, for that matter, to the industrial welfare of every other community in Kootenay. It is all very well for the Mine Owners'Association to take whatever stand they choose on matters political, but when they undertake to displace British subjects with these ignorant, degenerate aliens they overstep the mark and threaten the business of many who are dependent for their very existence on the high class workmen who have built the Slocan. Such a program will not be quiescently accepted by the citizens of the Slocan, and if the mine owners find the affair assuming a na- ional importance and themselves held - up to execration throughout the length and breadth of the land they may sooth their wounded sensibilities with the reflection that whatever they may suffer at the hands of an outraged public and a disparaging press have been brought on by their own actions.���Sandon Paystreak. The Prospector. There are prospectors and,���prospectors. There are those who have followed the calling of the prospector for years. They occasionally strike a good thing which they partially develop,' and then sell out. They prospect for the love of the business, and seem to be happy only when with burro, or old niare, loaded down with blankets, pick, pan and shovel and "grub," they roam over the mountains in search of something good���something that will fetch :them a "homestake" or enough to go to their native heath and dream away the rest of their lives., They seldom or inever realize the fruition of their hopes. They, are "prospecting still. No climate is.tootorrid, nonetoo frigid to deter them from taking their chances in the "stampede." , The farther off the country the more alluring ��� the prospect - appears, distance seems to lend enchantment to their view.? ������ ��� ��'' Then again' there ,are prospectors who engage,in the work from the force of circumstances. They camp with the first prospect they come across and make or break by it. They don't, last long, If it is a bonanza they have struck they realize what they- can out of it and return to pleasanter fields of labor. At all events they^uit the business and follow some other callings; Mountain 'trails know them ho more forever. In the early days they were called "summer prospectors," for they hugged warm,stoves rather than a cold, blanket' oh if rosty .ground; .TtieyJ" may' have been wise in doing so, as far as their personal comfort was concerned. But they never founded new mining camps, never opened new mining sections, nor called new-mining territories or "states into existence.: The summer prospector is a weak brother in "roughing it." The great northwest is the creation of . prospectors. The Forty-niners deepened the tracks made by. the first settlers of Oregon, and later by "the pioneers of. Salt L,ake,;, and^made' a great' state upon. the shores of the Pacific. The genos prospector sprang from the''golden sands of ths land of sunshine and flowers. He panned from Crescent City at the north to San Diego at the south.''He pans no more, but thotis'ands" have taken his place. They have hewn the way, blazed the trails and pointed, others to.thewonder- fuliy rich mineral fields in what was then *��� howling " wildernesses in -the- "G-reat American Desert," but are now the states of Nevada,-Colorado j' Utah Montana, Idaho, Oregon- and ;Washing- ton. These great, prosperous, wealthy commonwealths are the fruits of the prospectors' toil, of their daring, of their perserviug industry and of their bulldog-haug-on-utiveness to the place where "colors" were found. One may say? what he will, but he must admit that the prospector found the campiug grounds upon which western towns and cities have since been built ;?thut he opened the way which made it possible for the iron- horse ������ to race around our.great mountains into thriving mineral centers, and that through his never tiring industry Alaska and Northern British Columbia may yet enjoy the fruits which an advanced civilization yields to this smiling northwest.���Western Mining World.' The census returns of Dawson City give the population as 4,445. Of these Arabia, China, Greece and Holland have but a single representative each. Great Britain and her colonies, including Canada itself, contribute less than one-fourth of the total, the number being 995. Of these 645 Canadians, 208 English, 69 Scotoh, 49 Irish and 25 Australians. The United States contributes over three-fourths of the total, namely 3,205. Luck in Mining. Take two men and send them adrift in a gold placer mining or quartz mining country. They are industrious, hard-working frugal men. One lights on a fortune and leaves with his colors flying, and the assurance that the wolf will be forever kept from his door, the other retires as a broken-down, poverty- stricken man. The first struck 'a bonanza; the other found nothing. The world smiles upon the one, it has none for the other. Follow these men further along life's pathway. The man suddenly made rich branches out for higher and larger game; the poor man, who has Jeai'uo.i much by an adverse experience, proceeds cautiously and makes a fortune. He has felt the stings of poverty, lie is now basking in the world's smiles on the sunny side of Easy street. His former comrade, in search of wealth, made missteps and is now a broken- down, .poverty-stricken, discouraged man. Who is the child of fortune, who is the lucky man ? We answer, neither. They were both painstaking, honest, industrious and frugal. They are the same.now. Luck cut no figure in the case of either. They both did the best they could. One became a wealthy mine owner, whose name is a household word, the other is known by his neighboJS as an unfortunate but honest man. Is there any luck in J this?���Ex. pg�������^^����g<��g��<g^(g��^^ 'fa'fa'fa M. E. FRAZEE Corni*r of Government mid Deadwood Streets. ew wo The Best.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, (^ountatrp Cud ��tme* ��� 1'UHI.ISHED The Boundary* Creek Company Duncan Ross W. J. Hakhek .WEEKLY Printing Limited. BY & Publishing J.;...Editor .Manager SATURDAY, NOVEMBER, 25, 1899. GREENWOOD'S GROWING TIME. Two years and a half has worked a wonderful transformation in Greenwood. What a wonderful improvement it is to ride on a comfortable C. P. R. passenger coach instead of taking one's life in one's hand in making a journey by stage from Bossburg to Greenwood. The writer endured all the terrors and hardships of that mountain ride two years and a half ago. He found three buildings on Copper street���a village rich in hopes of a bright future but poor in the concomitants of a prosperous city. It was interesting to watch the old-timers who went to the station on Monday to see the first pas senger coach,to wonder at the thoughts that passed through their minds as the iron horse came majestically into the station; as over 100 passengers stepped from the comfortable coaches. It was something new to hear the plaintiff notes'of irrepressible hotel runners, to follow travelers to the Hotel Armstrong and see obsequious porters rushing hither and thither looking after the comforts of the guests. There was smething novel in the musical jingle of electric belis, in seeing telephone and telegraph . messengers scurrying through the town .. in. their search for . new arrivals. Then one.could not but be impressed with'the coterie of municipal fathers viewing with satisfaction the well graded streets and endeavor- to convince themselves that everything was all right, although the proceeds of the latest loan are exhausted. The evolution of Greenwood from a ;dirty looking mining camp to a full- fledged city has indeed been rapid. Still many an old-timer hankers' after the good old days and is anxious to move elsewhere to enjoy the exhilaration and hardships of pioneer days. They maybe just as happy as those who enjoy the bustle of city life. After all it matters little what 'the environments are life is what one.makes it. several mines in Greeenwood and Wellington camps. There is nothing speculative about the husiness of the Boundary country. The permanency of the mines has been demonstratea to a sufficient extent to warrant the conclusion that no railway company will have anything- to, complain of in re- ���pect to the amount of business there is to do. THE BUSINESS CENTER. It is an easy matter to arrive at conclusions, but not so easy to produce proof. It is any easy thing to say that the business center of a district is here or there, but the bare statement carries no weight. , We now make the statement that the business center of the Boundary district is Greenwood. To prove this we point to the records of the C. P. R. freight department at West Robson. They will show that since the road has been completed to Greenwood, 75 per cent of the freight is billed for Greenwood. No more conclusive proof of the center of trade for the district could be offered. Winston Churchil a Prisoner at Pretoria. Nbw York, Nov. 20.���[Special.] ��� .-Winston Churchill and the fifty-six men taken prisoners by the Boers at Estcourt have been sent to Pretoria to be held with the Dublin fusileers. General Methuen with a large force of men is moving on Kimberly where Cecil Rhodes is beleaguered. The detailed account of the battle at Ladysmith on the 9th says: Boers loss, 800; the British loss was slig-ht. After the battle the results were ascertained. General White ordered a salute of 21 guns, in honor of the birthday of the Prince of Wales amid cheers and a scene of great enthusiasm, soldiers and citizens participating. The situation at Natal is complicated owing- to the loss of bridges, Boers hold, railways at Ennersdale- threatening Weenan and Estcourt. The Cape Dutch seeing' the futility of their cause are beginning to waver. Special to The White Front, Greenwood, B. C. General "White Still holds his position.

The Senilin g-overnment cannot fulfil its ejection pledges without granting representation to the Boundary "district at the next session of the house. Every member of the present government and, all their supporters were strong in their denunciation of the anomalies and inequalities of thie last provincial franchise act. Surely if their criticisims were honestly made and not for the purpose of finding- fault with the last g-overnment the very earliest opportunity should be taken to redress the wrong's created by that act. There can be absolutely no justification for the practical disfranchisement of the Boundary, creek district.' The question of political expediency cannot be raised because there can be. no act more popular than one which wipes but a glaring injustice. Under responsible g-overnment the right which the people prize most hig-hly is the right of proper representation. At the time of the passage of the franchise act Boundary district was entitled to separate representation; owing to the very rapid development of the district and large influx of people the right' to representation is now muih stronger. Mr. Martin the member for the Rossland district should insist upon the {[introduction of. an amendment to the franchise act, granting Boundary district a representative. Before his election he gave his pledge that at the very "earliest opportunity he would insist upon this being- done. Nearly two years have elapsed since then and the people of Boundary district will soon become impatient at the nondelivery of election, goods. It is difficult to ascertain the polling strength of the Boundary district but it is well within the mark to say that there are 1,000 electors between Camp McKinney and Christina Lake. Greenwood itself has 400 voters, a, number much larger than that possessed by districts having two representatives. THE SHIPPING ERA. Boundary Creek was not slow in showing the world that if granted transportation facilities it could maintain an output of or?. No sooner was the spur' completed to the Oro Denoro mine than business was offered to the C. P. R. in the shape of ore to the Trail smelter. The Boundary Creek Mining and Milling company too have aitshipment at the railway track. The B. C. mine is ready to ship as are Miner's Hip Rubber Boots 1 * .,'���'��� At Eye Opener Prices.

C i n THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES ANARCHIST GROUP- Camp McKinney Property Acquired by a Coni- .' ������ pany. R.G. Sidley, J. P., of Anarchist mountain was in the city for a few ��� days this week. Mr; Sidley reports a very unsatisfactory season for the farmers in- consequence of so mnch wet weather. Many of the farmers in this locality have been unable to. harvest their grain arid will suffer great loss. Mining is in a more hopeful condition and Mr. Sidley has just succeeded in .floating- a strong- company to develop the Anarchist group held by him for a long time. The company is called the Expansion Gold Mining company. : Frank-Richter"..:the well known Kere- meos cattle man is president, J. C. Calhoun, official administrator, L,oom- is, is secretary and Frank Jenkins, Major Megraw and Mr. Sidley are in- cludadin the board of directors. Probably no Camp McKinney property has better surface indications or can be more cheaply and economically worked than the Anarchist group. There are three claims in the group, the Anarchist, Success and Dynamite. The 'ledge has. been exposed for 600 feet.' <-It'-is four and a half feet wide and mineralized throughout. For the 600 feet "there" are a" series "of shafts varying in depth from 10' to 81 feet". Thesameledge has been exposed at another point by a tunnel. With the property goes,what'is'practically* the only available waterpower, in the vicinity of Camp McKinney and which will have to be utilized by.the town when waterworks are required. ' The water record- gives a 40 horse power at the lowest stage.- The-ore is free milling .quartz and with this water power can be treated very cheaply. It is the intention~bf the company to develop the properties. A small block of treasury stocke.has been?placed on the market. THE LUMBER INDUSTRY. Two Ble Companies are Acquiring Control of ��� AHithe Mills.- ;;;.:���-���������..-. The lumber, industry in the Boun; dary. Creek country is in a' flourishing condition; these'? days..,.-' The .rapid J development of the Boundary cities and consequent erection of many building-S and the large amount of timber used "in the mines, have "created such" a" "demand for lumber that the mills in ? many ihsitarices. have been, kept running day and night.. This prosperity among the mills has induced financiers to give the lumber industry considerable attention, with the result that all the mills are fast becoming the properties of two powerful: companies. It was at'first intended"to create a lumber trust, but the principals in the deal could not come to terms so two companies were organized. Messrs. Blue & Fisher and Poupore & Genelle ainal- gamed .their -interests in Boundary Creek atidthe Slocan, .while Geo. O. Buchanan, the Kaslo'lumber man, has turned his attention to'the mills on the other-side of the mountain, and it is reported"that'he represents a million dollar company which has secured con-? trol of the mills along the North Fork "and the main Kettle river. The deal also includes valuable timber limits up the North Fork. The company operating on this side this week purchased W. S. Fletcher's extensive lumbering interests. The deal includes' tire sawmill near Eholt. LADYSMITH COVERED. By the Frantic Boers���Kimberly Safe, but in Need of Men Who Know How to Fight Special to the Times. , ? New York, November 17.���London advices say that the situation in lower Natal is quite obscure notwithstanding that 20,000 British troops have arrived. The display at Estacourt is not easily understood. A dispatch from Pretoria, November 9, says that Ladysmith is completely surrounded by Boers. At midnight the Afrikander cannon opened simultaneously, making a grand pyrotechnic display, anl causing many buildings to burn. The casualties are unknown. Kimberly was safe on November 10 but artillery and cavalry were badly needed. The Boers have taken' Aliwal North and hoisted the Free State flag. President Kruger has issued a proclamation that there is to be no looting of captured cities by the Boers. A new armored train has been fitted out and sent to Estacourt. In the absence of definite news it may be taken that the situation' is serious. General Buller has the entire matter under his control, and will probably turn up unexpectedly and surprise the Boers and the world. Misquoting Mr. Hamilton- L. A. Hamilton, the land commissioner of the C. P. R., is entitled to the sympathy of all western people. He is so affable and good natttred that hecan- not resist the importunities of a Win nipeg Free Press reporter searching for copy. So he talks about the west. The reporter, in Iris Wisdom, attempts to improve'-. .Mr. Hamilton's expressions. Here is the result: "L. A. Hamilton, land commissioner of the C. P. R., who has just returned from the coast, in reply to the interrogations of a Free Press reporter, supplied some interesting information regarding ithe mining operations in the Boundary creek and Kettle river districts, through which the C. P. R. are now running extensive railway branches. He was greatly impressed with the general progress made in the country since his visit there only two months ago. ' Of the British Columbia Southern" road, an extension of the Crow's Nest line, and on the Columbia Western, there many/changes.. -Marked development in the Fernie coal mines could be noticed. The demand for coal and coke has been so great that that the coal company has established a coal station at' Sparwobd on Mickle creek and the ground is being cleared for extensive sidings und for coke ovens. The work of��� pushingtutinels on the coal seams is being carried on as fast.as men can be 'employed. ; At Fernie thercis great business activity and marked changes have taken place at'Cranbrook by reason of" the construction of the North Star line. Grading on this line is nearly completed to the vicinity of ' the North Star mine aud Sulivan groups.? ? The^North Star Mining company ��� have: constructed a tramway to connect with the railway and are building from Cranbrook to Kimberley. : -������ ....���.;..-..,.���...~.~,t..,,.��� Considerable development is going ononthe St. Mary's river.-~-Mines-are- being developed and prospects for large business in. that .section arei good. The branch of-,the North Star like will give facilities to;St.? Marysville^ at .'the crossing of St. Mary's river, to further the interests of the mines of. Mobelle. Moyevillei and Moyie-in- connection with tlie introduction 'of? concentrating; and other works at these points. New capital and new management is being brought to bear on.'-the Trujeanj 'Movie and Lake Shore and;.other..important properties in that section. More activity is now being shown..on these.old properties than in any of the newly opened mining.districts.of.,the.west.L,.,.., On the Columbia & "Western railway a large gang of men are now working on the Cascade waterpower, which, when completed will supply, power for the development of the properties in tlie Kettle River-district, a strong English company, has'.secured the franchise for the investment of a large amount of capital for the furthering of: this concern. They are arranging for the distribution of electrical power to Rossland and Greenwood camps. The water power will generate 10,000 horse power and distribute electric power. The town of Eholt on the Columbia & Western was something of a revelation to Mr. Hamilton. He was there two months" ago aridat that time .there were no indications of a town. : It is now a thriving-" town, " with stores, hotels and houses, which are going up in remarkable mariner. 1 Eholt vvijl soon be connected with all the camps in the Greenwood district. The town of Greenwood has also made marvellous strides. The company at the time of Mr. Hamilton's- visit,Miad a large gang of men at..work on the new freight sheds and yards, and working on the the spur line, which was from- Greenwood into the Deadwood copper camp. The principal copper produced in this mine will be shipped to upper Grand Forks. A large smelter is being built north of the town, and they expect to receive ores for treatment from Nob Hill, Ironsides and other properties in that locality. On the whole, the development throughon t this country is most gratifying, states Mr. Hamilton, an3 will otic day repay the company for the immense expond'- tnre put into it for railways." "Deadwood copper camp's" ores filing to upper Grand Forks while a big smelter is being, built at home! i\ii-> Hamilton in the future should wnl.: his own reports. ;. The Canadian Pacific Telegraph company have taken an" office in the Rendell block on Greenwood street and are now ready for business. Mr. McGregor who was stationed at Columbia for some time has charge of the office. Dr. Thos. C. Bramard, president of "the Hamilton Powder company, H. J. Scott, general, agent at Victoria and Geo. C. Tunstall, agent for Kootena3', for the same company, are in the city. Dr. Braiuard and Mr. Scott were in the Boundary country two years ago when Dr: Braiuard became interested in the Gold Drop in Greenwood camp. He is president of: the Gold Drop company.

''"-.'; Similkameen Notes; The Similkameen country lying west of the Okanagan is nrjw, and in fact has been during- the entire season,, at ' attracting a wonderful amount of attention throughout the northwest. The Similkameen river rises in Washington, ' high up in the Cascades, in the tipper Methow region, its course being northerly to Princeton,, and thence southeasterly to the boundary line; about 100 .miles'.-of.;,its course being ". through British Columbia. Included in the valley of this stream and along sides are the now well known camps of Keremeos, Olalle creek, Fish lake, Upper Keremeos creek, Riordon mountain, Fifteen-Mile creek, Sixteen-Mile creek, Ashnola, Twenty-Mile creek, Brom- ��� ley's Jamieson's and Princeton. Above Princeton and about twelve miles south of that point the famous Coppor mountain is situated. Just ' across the river from Copperwmomitain itseif, while,farther up stream, are the less known but by no means unimportant camps on Friday creek and Roche ��� river. At Princeton the main river is joined by the Tulntneen, locally known as the "North Fork." This stream is probably 80 miles in length and flows through a somewhat rugged and high- lying region, which is known ,;to be rich in mineral. Much prospecting has -been done and hundreds of locations made along the Tulameen and its tributaries, many of which are spoken of as of much promise. There is little room i for. doubt but that the Tulameen region, which is in -reality a westerly extension of the Similkameen, will, like the latter, prove to be a coun^ tryCof vast mineral resources. .... At Prineeton mining operations have been confined chiefly to Copper-mountain. It is there the famoui Sunset claim is located, arid which is now being- actively developed by a Vigorous company. The work at the claim is under the superintendence of the well- known locator of the property, Mr. JR. A. Brown, and it is but fair to say that it-would be a difficult matter to find a man better qualified for the position in'every respect. Repofts from this property are to the effect that the shaft i��<now entirely in: high ��� gradev bbrnite ore. . With machinery installed, and continuous work provided for and kept going, the Sunset and Copper mountain as a whole should-prove a point of exceptional activity-next season. : At Twenty-Mile creek the usual force of men are at work on the Nickel Plate, and'although reports from the property are meagre, owing to the reluctance of the owners to admit strangers to the mine, it is nevertheless well understood that the property has already proved to be of great richness and extent. It is reported that the management at the Nickel Plate has succeeded in arranging? with the department of Indian affairs for a mill or smelter site on the Indian- reservation near the junction of Twenty-Mile with the Similkameen. At Keremeos a large amount of work has been done on the various properties throughout that- camp. The ore here is for the most part copper pyrites and sulphides, in diorite and quartz. On the Opulence, however, native copper occurs in very considerable qant- ities, assays from this property running up as high as 62 per cent copper from picked specimens, the average being about 20 per cent copper, with very light gold and silver values. On the Dolphin a very fine ore body has been opened by a tunnel about 80-feet in length, the same body being shown np, both above and below the tunnel by open cuts. On the- Roadside a shaft now down 20 feel has disclosed a fine lot of sulphide ore, and the indications are that depth will prove the Roadside a most valuable propeaty. �� On the Golconda group a crosscut tunnel is now in about 130 feet and the indications are that the main lead oh on this property will soon be cut; Work is about to be resumed on the Copper King, which has a shaft already down some 30 feet. On the Elkhorn group considerable surface work has been done, and a very' considerable amount of copper, sulphide andpyrhotite disclosed. On the Bullion Mountain group vast bodies of high grade- copper sulphides has been opened, and the management there has;commenced- an800-foot crosscut tunnel, which will tap the principal ore deposit at a depth of about 700 feet, besides opening at least two other other leads of less size. This property is regarded as possessing one of. the greatest mineral showings so far found in British Columbia,- () On the Searchlight a tunnel now in 30 feet is being, driven further, the indications being excellent. At present the Messrs. Black Bros. & Woodcroft are building a. new trail into upper Keremeos valley, and as soon as it completed supplies . will be taken in- and they will. commence the permanent development of their Green mountain group of claims.' On the Dividend group a splendid body of iron carrying copper has just been crosscut for a distance of ?30 feet without finding the opposite wall from the one where work was started. Sinking will now be commenced on this showing, and it is presumed will be carried on. permanently. Taken altogether the mineral showings throughoutKeremeos valley camp, andespecially in the vicinityof Olalla creek, where the largest amount of ?de- velopment work- of one-kind and . another has been done, are in all respects exceptional, and bythe time the long tunnel on the Bullion mountain group has been completed, there seems no reason to doubt but what Keremeos can boast of mines second to none in the northwest. Arrangements-are now being made to bring. machinery into the camp, and when installed the work will go forward in a much more rapid manner than is possible by hand work only. Taken altogether the prospects throughout the.en tire Similkameen are exceeedingly bright. ��� Grand ' Forks Miner. Miners'Union Ball.
