Vol, I, GREENWOOD CITY, B,C��� SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1896, No, 4, A VISIT TO THE GOLD DROP. The news that the British Columbia & Montreal Promoting- and Prospecting Company had definitely decided to purchase the Gold Drop claim in Greenwood camp, though expected, is none-the-less gratifying-. That the Company will ever regret the investment, no one who has had the opportunity of seeing the property is even likely to seriously ��� consider probable. Our representative visited the Gold Drop last week and found Mr. George Turner, the manager, deeply eng-ag-ed in the interesting duty of superintending the work of a man removing- " wash " from what appeared to be the capping of a ledg-e, the existence of which had hitherto been quite unsuspected. The new find, as Mr. Turner explained, is too far away from the discovery ledge to belong- to it; further, there were sufficient evidences of the rock being in solid formation. From pieces broken off from this lately discovered capping-, it carries iron as hematite and copper pyrites. The capping-���or whatever it may prove to be���is to be thoroughly prospected this week, hence there will doubtless be more to be said concerning- it ere long-. Accompanying- Mr. Turner, whose noted aversion, based on principle, to newspaper reporters as a class made the kindness of his reception on this particular occasion the more appreciated, our representative climbed up to the entrance of the big- tunnel. Here, after the door barring- the way ag-ainst unwelcome intruders had been unlocked, a search was made for candles which was at leng-th rewarded, thoug-h the rats evidently knew where they were kept very much better than the manager. ��� Close to the door can be seen where the great ledg-e begins from the foot-wall/ Mr. Turner says he has asked several so-called experts, not to mention professed g-eologists, for a scientific definition of the formation here, but not one of them g-ave him an answer which satisfied his curiosity. The .foot-wall is, however, a kind of diorite, and from it for the whole distance of the tunnel���some 120 feet���is a well-mineralized ledg-e, the iron and copper pyrites in which glittered with beautiful effect in the candle-light. A while ag-o, before the powder smoke spread a dark covering- over the rock, the sight may then not' inaptly have been compared to the legendary tales among the romances in the "Arabian Nights," of wondrous subterranean caverns where the walls are piled high with gold and precious stones, so brilliant were the scintillations of the mass of copper-impregnated rock. Towards .,the.end of the tunnel can be traced the hanging-wall, judging from the talc gmtge running with it, but beyond this the (what may be) country rock is so richly mineralized that the assumption may possibly not be correct. With this huge ledge the ore is naturally low grade ; if it were otherwise, as Mr. Turner remarked, " the mine would pay the debts of the world." , The tunnel is not by any riieans the only work the com- pany has done on the claim since taking the bond. Besides one or two open cuts the ledge has been well prospected, in one or two instances to a depth of nearly 200 feet, with a diamond drill. Talking about diamond drills, Mr. Turner ���/thinks they are the most effective means of determining the probable future value of a prospect. The cost, he says, is about one-sixth of sinking in the ordinary way, and besides the great saving in time there is the advantage of being able, if one hole is not satisfactory, of simply movingyour drill somewhere else, with a possibility of obtaining better results. The fuel used in Mr. Turner's machine is coal-oil ; with this fuel the machine is made so portable that if at any time it-is required to be moved, four men can easily set it up at a fresh spot in a few hours time. The Gold Drop diamond drill has frequently bored as deep as twenty-five ���feet per day,���considered fast work. Some beautiful specimens of copper ore are lying on the dump near the 50-foot shaft. Some of these specimens will run 10 per cent, in copper and well in gold, and it is satisfactory to know that Mr. Haas secured some samples from here to put with his collection of ores from Boundary Creek which is to be on exhibition next week at Spokane. Speaking about the Gold Drop Mr. Turner said, " I very much dislike to see exaggerated reports circulated about claims, and particularly about claims in which I am interested, and I am generally very conservative in my estimates, but I must say I have taken a great liking to the Gold Drop." Mr. Turner leaves this week for Vancouver, chiefly for the purpose of making arrangements relative to the future work to be done on the company's property. Upon his return we hope to publish some interesting details ��� with regard to the Gold Drop which, meanwhile, the manager is not exactly in a position to supply. i , i^ > �� i AN INDEFATIGABLE PROSPECTOR. - A visit to John Christie's claim, the Nightingale, in Skylark camp, affords a striking example of what one man may do if he has the necessary will and pluck, in the way of opening up a prospect. The Nightingale was located May 10th,' 1895, little more than a year ago, and we venture to say that few of the older, properties upon which crown grants have long since been obtained can show so. much development. Mr. Christie estimates the value of the work he has done, unaided, on the Nightingale at ^$1,200 and on the Mavis, an adjoining claim, at $300. Taking into consideration the fact that he has been almost continually at work developing these properties, and valuing his time at the current rate of miners' wag-es, his valuation does not appear disproportionately large. Mr. Christie's strong point evidently is the buoyant hopefulness of his disposition. Most men, had they met with half the disappointments which have been the lot of the owner of the Nightingale, would have given up in despair long ere this ; but to him failure in one direction only acts as a stimulus to increased effort in another. The Nightingale ground is literally honeycombed with prospect holes and open cuts. There is one shaft 22 feet deep, and every pound of rock was carried in a bucket up the ladder to the dump. One of the cuts too, is 30 feet in length, 15 feet deep and six feet wide. Mr. Christie is satisfied that he has at length found the situation of his ledge, and by the accident of a tree blowing over the other day a fine body of ore carrying pyrrhotite and copper pyrites #as uncovered. He is now working on this new strike. L,ater on Mr. Christie intends to tunnel in from the foot of the mountain, sinking first, however, some thirty feet to water level. During the last three weeks he has commenced on the tunnel, making in that short time an open cut, twenty feet deep by twenty-seven wide, running in twenty feet from the start. Here he encountered a " fault," but he thinks that by going through this he will strike a big ore body, On either side of the " fault " is a streak of oxidized quartz. Mr. Christie is now building a shaft-house in readiness for the winter's work, and a comfortable cabin is also being built on the claim. / ^d^4 "��� :. * A PROMISING PROSPECT. A good prospect was located last week by Messrs. Dufour and Fisher in Skylark camp, adjoining the L,ulu. The claim was called the Barrow, and from all accounts has a big surface showing. The ore is iron-stained quartz carrying free-gold and copper pyrites. Mr. Fisher is a new-comer and has had absolutely no experience as a prospector���here is, therefore, another example of the luck of the "tenderfoot." hi &i 5s- '.

One of the old buildings on the Skylark is being fitted up as an assay office for Mr. Reuger's use. Mr. Mcintosh, of Winnipeg, bought a three-quarter interest in the Big Six from Alex. Wallace this week. There is good showing on this claim, upon which the assessment was recently done. The assays run above the average. Fourteen men have been put to work on the Old Victoria, in Camp McKinney. This claim was among the first locations���if not the first���staked in the country. One of the owners resides in Victoria, and another interest is controlled by Mrs. Dowding, of Rock Creek. The property is likely to prove valuable. ' Heretofore it was generally believed that there was no placer ground, on Boundary Creek above the old workings near Jolly Jack's creek. A claim was, however, recently located by Mr. Hanrahan between the ranches of Messrs., Kerr and Roy, ��� and from all reports contains good pay.dirt. On an average the gold runs from five to fifty cents to the pan. Systematic work will be commenced next week, meanwhile sluice boxes are being put in place. Mr. W. W. Gibbs recently returned from a trip up Kettle river, visiting both Canyon and Cedar creeks. He says that the condition of affairs there now is similar to what was experienced in Boundary in '91. The country is a promising field for prospecting, the characteristic formation being diorite.' Mr. Gibbs was particularly ��� impressed with the showing of a claim owned by Ed. Sullivan and Alex. Waddel, some 28 miles up the river from Rock Creek. The ore resembles that of the Winnipeg and is solid pyrrhotite with the brownish shade imparted by copper. Assays by Mr. Gibbs gave an average ��� value of $12, which from surface rock is very fair returns. The owners in- ' tend to put in three or four months developing the property this winter. Two more claims were found near the Big Four group on Boundary creek last week, heavily capped with iron ; and at Kimberley camp an extension of tjiie Kimberley claim was staked, the Garry Owen, by Messrs. Robinson and McArthur ; besides"two extensions of the Iron Chief���the Hamilton and Ironsides. The first assays made from rock from the new camp were received this week and the result���$1.40 in gold arid 58 cents in silver���is not unsatisfactory, taking into consideration the size of the Big Four deposit and that the samples were taken not from an ore body but from iron capping. There are six claims in the Big Four group and the owners intend to take the wise course of doing at one time six assessments on one claim, the Big Four itself; this they, are allowed to do by law after making a formal application for permission. Hence it is probable that this winter a shaft will be sunk some 60 feet on the Big Four, which should be sufficient to determine fairly definitely the value of ore bodies in this promising neighborhood. John Crawford starts this week to do the assessment on the Ballarat.

Canadian Caution versus American Push. A contemporary asks the question, " Why is it that the Upper Okanag-an farmer allows his American cousin to monopolize a market which peculiarly belong-s to himself ?" East week a letter was received at this office from the Kelowna Shippers' Union, an extract from which may be taken as a reply to the above: "If a quantity of produce were shipped in, could a market be found at prices to leave a profit at this end ? We are anxious to do business at any point where we are satisfied the returns will be prompt and the volume of business sufficient to make it worth our while." That is a sufficient reply of itself. The B.C. farmer is waiting- to hear of a sure thing���a g-uaranteed market where returns are prompt and profitable : the Washing-ton rancher loads up his team with a miscellaneous assortment and rustles for a market. Two and four- horse teams arrive in Greenwood at least twice a week from the Big- Bend country���a distance of 165 miles���and they must make it pay or they would not continue, and pay too in spite of a customs tariff averaging 2c. per pound. Further, as to the market, we g-ive details of one load, just arrived, as certified to by Mr. Krug-er, customs officer : Peaches, 25 boxes ; grapes, 12 boxes ; apples, 19 boxes; tomatoes, 8 boxes ; bacon, 275 lbs.; lard, 185 lbs ; eg-g-s, 270 doz. ; butter, 340 lbs. ; oats,' 250 bush. Cash is paid in every case and is of course at once carried across the line. Consumers here have no complaint to make, so long" as the market is supplied, the quality g-ood and price's within reach. If the Okanag-an farmer can see no sure and paying- market here, so much is it to his loss. A Spokane Opinion. Referring- recently to Boundary Creek, the Spokesman-Review says : This section of the country will be in a position to furnish an enormous tonnage as soon as railroad facilities are afforded. , There is no better country in the North-west in which to do mining". The mountains are not hig-h and work can, under certain conditions, be continued all winter, as the snow does not lie 'deep..'. There is certainly no lack of mineral in that country. Investors are being- attracted to the district and a number of claims have been bonded and others bought outrig-ht. The transportation problem is proving a serious drawback, but the people there have full faith that the Columbia & Western Railroad will be extended to Penticton next year. Unfortunately this last statement is hardly correct. The people of Boundary Creek have very little faith in anything of the kind happening-. FAIRVIEW MINING NOTES. [Special Correspondence.] The option on the Stemwinder expired on the 24th ult. It is understood that the owners have received word that a sale has been consummated but the final payment has not yet been made. W. T. Shatford and A. Cosens last week located the Slamax, in Camp McKinney, with fairly g-ood surface indications. The; vein is quartz, with a pay streak of" clean " g-alena. Three men will be employed this winter veloping- the property. The bond on the Morning Star ex pired on Thursday. THAT LOST PETITION. The following- is to the point and explains itself: Greenwood, October 1st, 1896. Regarding the lost petition : I gave it to Neil Hard3% Manley & Averil 's stage driver, to take over to Grand Forks, and he told me that he gave it to Mirams, the ..Grand Forks town- site agent. THOMAS McDONNEEIy. DISTRICT NEWS. The Dominion Government has voted $500 for improving the Okanagan river. Mr. Georg-e Turner left for Vancouver on Friday and will probably be away three weeks. Mr. J. P. McEeod is' moving- into a new office recently erected near Col. Weir's house at Anaconda/ Alex. Wallace sold his ranch near Greenwood this week. The property is likely to prove valuable. Mr. Ostroski, one of the proprietors of the Greenwood City Mercantile Company, arrived from Spokane this week. ���"' The road through from Greenwood City to Wellington camp is now open for traffic, the road g-ang- completing- the work on Thursday. Mr. Hamill, reeve of Spallumcheen, was in the district this week on business. He was at the same time looking- up a desirable location at which open a furniture store. There is no denying- that business in Boundary is, to say the least, dull at the present time. However, building- is g-oing- briskly forward in all the towns, more particularly in Greenwood, and few.idle artisans are to be met. ' Mr. Randolph Stuart, of Midway, has received intellig-ence from England to the effect that his mother is in a feeble state of health and that his return home is anxiously awaited. He will probably leave in obedience to the summons early next week. The Rev. A. Eemay, Roman Catholic priest in charg-e of the church at Rossland, visited Boundary this week and held divine, service at Anaconda. , It is hoped that arrangements may be completed shortly for a church to be built between the towns of Greenwood and Anaconda. The Anaconda saw-mill has been moved from Boundary Creek to a site about half-a-mile above the town, on the main road. There is a g-ood supply of timber at this spot,���naturally a desideratum to mill men, and as the grade is down hill all the way from the mill to town the move will cause no inconvenience to customers. Messrs. Rendell & Co. have at present six teams on the road hauling- their freigfht from Penticton. They have received within the past few days a car load of flour, a car load of coal- oil, a car load of furniture, a car load of g-eneral groceries, and a car load of sashes, doors and stoves. Much of their freight also comes via Spokane and Marcus. These are the shipments of one firm only, out of the several in in the district, and will give some idea of the amount of business handled by our lower country merchants. 0e- *y��. gi fir~ fir fir AGENT FOR The Giant Powder Co., OF SAN FRANCISCO. m.

Althotig-h the Government office is at Midway it should not necessarily follow that that place should be the resident. headquarters of the two , provincial constables appointed for this division. Until Mr. J. Brown undertook the duties of assistant recorder, the business of the office was sufficient to demand the more or less constant attendance of both Mr. McMynn and Mr. Dean/. Now, however, this necessity can no longer be said to exist, and it is certainly advisable that a constable be resident in the more populous centre of Boundary Creek. We recommend this sug-g-estion to the consideration of Mr. i&.& Hussey, the chief of provincial police. We are credibly informed that Inspector Fletcher faithfully promised on the occasion of his late visit here that .immediate arrangements should be made to improve the present inconvenient state of affairs with regard to the transmission of registered mail between offices in this district and the United States. Apparently the Inspector has since taken no steps in the matter ; at any rate his efforts have as yet been unproductive. As things are now, a registered letter addressed to a point in the United States makes almost a tour around the world. From Boundary Creek it goes by stage to Penticton, it then enjoys a ride across the beautiful waters of Okanagan lake on the steamer Aberdeen to Okanagan Ivanding, thence it takes the train to Vancouver, and again the steamer to Victoria. Encountering here probably some little difficulty in finding the post-office, our wandering registered letter enquires its way back to (say) Marcus, where it ultimately arrives��� if it has luck���travel-stained and the worse for wear, having been carried perhaps 800 or 900 miles : whereas the distance from Greenwood to Marcus by direct route is rather less than 100 miles, and with a stage making regular daily trips. Surely it. would not entail much work or trouble on the part of the Inspector to arrange with the Washington authorities for a system of exchange. We are informed by Mr. William Barker, the foreman in the employ of Mr. IJeuger proprietor of the Skylark claim, that he was required, at the time when the machinery for the mine was brought in from the United States, to pay a sum in the neighborhood of between sixty and seventy dollars to the Customs before being allowed to proceed. If Mr. .Barker's statement is correct, and there is certainly no reason to believe otherwise, he has very good grounds upon which to demand that the sum paid by him to Mr. Gilpin, the custom-house officer at Grand Forks, should be refunded. In the first place the machinery was not. new���on the contrary it had been in use some five years and during that time had, been the property of the people now operating here ; and, we believe, articles that have been ill use and in the possession of the owners twelve months are exempted from taxation under the provisions of the tariff. Further, mining machinery of a class or kind not manufactured in Canada can be imported free from duty. That Mr. Gilpin has been guilty of. any intentional culpability in the matter is, of course, not to be entertained for a moment. Nevertheless, as Mr. Barker says, some explanation seems to be in order. ItrrTI""���*"rf"*'t" rj^Vft*Tp3i*''*nw'"*''���^TrfriiTflryiTfTYtti'HH'' *ifii \mT'T"t,*Tv*wwF,c*yiTn"9 'y�����^ W.

Last Saturday a party of between ten and twelve men started up Boundary creek to prospect the new field. AD the water has been removed from the Stemwinder shafts. Sinking is in progress in one shaft and a drift is being run at the foot of another. After a few days work last week on the Cracker Jack, in Greenwood camp, copper ore was found beneath an iron capping. The ledge was stripped for some 11 feet; no walls were found. Jack Farrell while prospecting on the Buttercup, in Wellington camp, the other day, found a small quartz lead which has since widened out to nearly three feet. The quartz carries copper sulphurets, and runs well in gold. Specimens have been sent to Spokane for exhibition purposes. During the past week a considerable amount of surface work has been done on the, Phoenix in Greenwood camp. The capping was stripped, for nearly 50 feet and the owners have been rewarded by finding some "very pretty rock,.full of copper pyrites and containing azurite. They had not yet struck the ore body in formation, but the indications of its proximity are sufficiently clear. - E}. A. Bielenberg has for the last few weeks been engaged in developing the Butterfly and the Surprise, both in. Skylark camp. On the former a hole has been sunk eight or teii feet, the top of which was capped for about thirty inches with iron ; the ore is copper sulphides and is coming in well. On the Surprise the shaft is down 15 feet and the ledge���containing silver-bearing quartz��� is six feet wide. There is as yet no solid ore body. We wish to put in a word for our advertisers. We have solicited only the best firms and we believe every firm represented in these pages bears an honorable name in business.

From reports in the city dailies, the Boundary exhibit is likely to form one of the principal attractions of the Fair. Mr. Morrison is daily expecting" to receive instructions to commence work on the company's claim in Deadwood camp. Meanwhile the company evidently are quite content that he should have " the expectations." Word has been received that Mr. Harry Hemlow, whorepresents mining- investors both in Montreal and Vancouver, will shortly return on a visit to Boundary. Mr. Hemlow recently purchased the Boundary FaUs and Spotted Horse here. It is reported that both the Lincoln and City of Paris have been bonded and development work is to be commenced shortly. The bond is controlled by an E^ng-lish company. Mr. J. Stevens, who is; a co-proprietor in-the claims, arrived from Fairview this week to sign-the papers relative to the bond. ������.������/.���:;-',]-'..:'1-'-/: /��� ''���':.:-v:;/ L,ast Saturday 49 feet of the 50-foot double compartment shaft contract at the Old Ironsides had been sunk. For several days preceding- water had been flowing- in at the rate of 15 or 20 gallons an hour. The pre recently taken out has not so promising an appearance as that on the dump of a few weeks ago. Development work 0will be continued all winter. Carl Nelson, the partner of R. Robison in the Northern Belle; and Golden Giant on Pass creek, has made a big- strike near Kaslo on a claim called the Silver Bell. He and his partners recently refused an offer of $40,000 on a bond, 10 per cent, down, made by a California company for the prospect. The ore body .is six feet across and runs over 200 ounces in silver. Many of our readers will have kindly recollections of Mr. A. Meg-raw, who made an extensive tour through this district in the summer of 1893, when he secured interests in claims at Gamp McKinney and other points. Mr. Meg-raw has since then gone more or.less deeply into mining speculations in - the Rainy river country^ where he has a free-milling proposition assaying on the average $45, with test assays of $720 to $1,760. Apparently not content with this Mr. Meg-raw writes us for all possible information on the present condition and outlook of the Boundary Creek camps. He is endeavoring to interest eastern capital in McKinney and elsewhere and will be through here again " in the spring or possibly before that time." The V. V. & E. R. & N. Railroad. ���.. News-Advertiser : The reason the above company did not obtain its,charter was that the present session would not last long enough to give time for the bill to pass both Houses. Notice is being given to have it before the House at the next session, which will be in three or four months. The shortness of the present session prevents all railway bills from passing. The engineers are now and will be kept employed preparing the necessary plans to start the road immediately after the next session. W. B.

MiMiii mm THE FUTURE OF BOUNDARY. Mr. P. Dillon, a resident of Spokane, has been in the district for several days visiting the camps in the vicinity. Mr. Dillon describes himself as being one of the "early birds" in Rossland without having, however, held on to the proverbial "worm." He at one time bought, or nearly bought, a third interest in the War lOagle for $500, but when all arrangements had been, perfected, the price was raised to $1,100. Considering that then assays of War Kagle rock gave little better than an average value of $4 to the ton, and that the camp at that time was practicably inaccessible, Mr. Dillon did not feel inclined to pay more than double the price originally agreed, and the matter was allowed to drop. Speaking of this country, Mr. Dillon, whose experience of mining camps has been gained by many years ' spent among them, says the surface showings here are the most wonderful he has ever met with, and he is not afraid to predict that, great mining camp as Rossland undoubtedly is, three years after Boundary has enjoyed the benefits accruing from railway facilities, there will be little heard of about the former in comparison. This rather rash statement Mr. Dillon doubtless uttered in the fulness of a sudden enthusiasm, for however bright the future of Boundary may be, there is little probability that we have many mines likely to prove the superiors of the L,e Roi, for example, ~at Rossland. A Hunting Episode. George Spence has deservedly earned a local reputation as a sportsman, and many a deer has fallen to his . deadly aim. The other day, however, he started with his pockets full of ammunition and Winchester in' hand to try and replenish the camp's larder. Not far from home he met two fool- hens enjoying a morning's repast. Here was a chance, and "George" plugged away at the birds till his cartridges were expended and his temper much ruffled. The birds meanwhile continued to quietly fill their crops, seemingly indifferent to the presence of an intruder, though occasionally giving him a furtive glance from their stupid eyes. This so enraged the local Nimrod that seizing a club he avenged the waste of his shots, returning with his victims triumphantly to camp. But he will not hear the end of this adventure for many a day. A Standing Invitation. We cordially invite our subscribers and Times readers generally to bring or send in items of news for the paper. We will gladly give publication to mining notes, district news, personals, and items of local and general interest. "We want miners and prospectors especially of the Boundary Creek country to remember that The Times is their own local paper, and that in assisting us to furnish a weekly budget of reliable and interesting- news they are also helping to advertise the district, and in doing this every one will reap the benefit. resident here NOTICE.

The dance given by Mr. J. J. White at the Boundary Falls Hotel on Thursday was, in every sense of the word, a success^ and the rooms contained a. larger gathering, probably, than have yet been assembled at one time on any previous occasion, festive or otherwise, in;; Boundary. ? Estimating roughly, between a hundred and fifty and a hundred and sixty guests from all parts of the district were present. Dancing commenced about nine o'clock, and was kept up to a violin and banjo orchestral accompaniment until early morning. The partition dividing two large rooms on the ground floor had been removed during the I week, thus extemporising a capital dance-hall, the walls being further tastefully decorated with evergreens. Decidedly a feature of the evening was a clog dance by cMr. R. F. Warren, of Okanogan, Washington (or was it Palouse ?), which ,was really" an inimitable exhibition. At midnight a cold collation was served, to describe which justly it is a hard matter to resist the temptation to employ every appreciatory superlative in Webster; but as a contemporary will doubtless remark, " the tables fairly groaned beneath the weight of the good things provided." Mr. "White will, at aiiy rate, have the satisfaction of knowing that his entertainment was generally highly .appreciated. MINING NOTES. A winze is now being sunk at the end of the crosscut on the Copper.. Mr. R. Wood has sold his interest in the Rhoderick Dhu to Mr. W. ~L. D'Aeth of Armstrong. Harry Nash and George Rumberger are building a roomy house on the Brooklyn. A start has also been made on the new hotel. A new shaft is being sunk on the Stemwinder lead, between No. 1 and No. 2 shafts, and is now down 30 feet. Two shifts have been put on. Archie Connors left to-day to do the assessment work'on the Summit claim in Summit camp. The Summit vein runs parallel with the Oro Denero, and has a good surface showing. The contract on the Old Ironsides was completed on Monday, but work will be resumed upon the arrival of the company's representative, who is expected immediately. The ore last taken out carries less of hematite and has changed in character. * Sam Shaw, who . has ' lately been working on the Old Ironsides, located six clairns last winter on the Reservation, all; of -which promised well. He o trusted his partner to record the properties, which he failed to do, and within the last week every one of the claims was jumped, or rattier re-staked. Mr. C. H. Brown left on" Friday's stage for Spokane, on matters'relating to the Clifton claim in Copper camp. E. Timm and the other owners have sold out their interests in the property to a Spokane company and the claim is to be stocked ; three or four thousand dollars will be spent this year in development work. Johnnie Winters and Nelson I^e Plante have recently completed the contract of running a 120-foot tunnel and a 60-foot drift on the Washington, a claim owned by an American company half-a-mile south of the line from White's camp. Mr. Winters states that the rock was remarkably , easy to break and he and his partner on several occasions made 14 feet a day, earning as much as $40 for nine or ten hours work. If not one of Johnnie's yarns, this we opine comes very nearly being a record-breaking performance. As the result of a little surface prospecting of the new iron-capped leads up Iyost creek, pyrrhotite has been uncovered. This is particularly the case on the Ballarat, located by Robinson and McArthur, where they are preparing to sink on a large body of it. While the gold tenure is at present undoubtedly low, it is encouraging to note that the true sulphide ore has been found under the oxydized cap. , JUST arrived���A consignment of dry-goods and men's clothing at the Greenwood ^Grocery.

Word was received from Ottawa yesterday that a money-order office had been gazetted for Greenwood, and that Inspector Fletcher would ber here next week with the necessary paraphernalia. Mr. Iyawder, of the firm of Armstrong & L-awder of Anaconda, is retiring from the business. Notice of the dissolution of partnership: will be publish^ e'd in next week's issue of The Times. It is understood that Mr. Iv. Birnie who so capably managed the firm's affairs from the time the, store was opened here, will remain in charge of the business for Mr. Armstrong. Mr. McMann moved on Thursday into his new house on L/ong Iyake street. Mr. McMann, himself, drew the architectural plans of the building, hence every detail conducive to comfort or convenience was carefully considered. Mr. F. G. Schwenitz, a German mining engineer, arrived in Greenwood on Friday.
