J , t',4' ������ A Weekly Paper published in the interests ot the Boundary Creek Mining District. j Vol, V, GREENWOOD, B,C��� SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1898, 110 No, 6 AFTER MANY DAYS. in doing ��o\ SFTER several weeks had been spent street wprk without system and without sense, and after more than half the money appropriated for that purpose had been expended, the members of the'1 municipal council of the City of Greenwood pulled themselves together and decided that the balance of work should be carried on decently and in order. This important decision was arrived at on Monday evening when the street work was ventilated and charges of incompetency and mismanagement were hurled with alarming frequency against no one in particular because it was a difficult matter to find a target, since the work had been done without a responsible head. Aid. Phelan led the discussion. He held that serious mistakes had been made and money had been uselessly expended. He saw no good reason why the council should continue in error and made a strong plea for reformation. It was evident that nien in charge didn't understand the work. Mismanagement and incompetency had been shown from the very start. He pointed out that one-third of the earth had been removed from Government street with waggons while an elaborate;tramway system costing $1,500 was secured to do this work. Iyast week- the engineer estimated that $150 would complete Copper street and a large force of men had been kept at work on the street during the entire week and was not yet completed. The council ought to insist on Mr. Shaw being on the work and becoming responsible for the work. Mayor Wood stated that Mr. Shaw never understood that he was to be on the work the entire time. There had been a misunderstanding from the start. Mr. Shaw had never been consulted about the hiring of a superintendent and the superintendent got his instructions from the street committee instead of from the engineer. Mr. Shaw was of the opinion that if the street committee were to give instructions regarding the work, it was useless for him to spend time outside of that necessary in giving levels. Aid. Phelan insisted that Mr. Shaw's place was on the street. Similar mistakes to those already made would then be impossible. Aid. Kerr gave utterance to the universally recognized fact that all members of the city council were not street graders and as if further corroboration of this statement was necessary, he told the council that the work had been done in not too bad shape. Aid. Paton was struck forcibly with the idea that the placing of stakes was a small part of the engineer's duties. Mayor Wood held that a foreman wasn't worth his salt if he couldn't follow the engineer's grade stakes and Aid. Phelan believed the foreman ought to be fired if he didn't understand his business. All at once without the slightest warning the council switched to the dam and all the members thereof with the single exception of Aid. Paton gave their dam experiences. Aid. Phelan described the weak spots in this particular dam and pointed out the proper system of strengthening .them. Mayor Wood contributed an interesting few minutes to the discussion and Aid. Kerr thought the matter ought to be left to the engineer but added a brief citation of his own views regarding dam building. Aid. Paton, heartily endorsed Aid. Kerr's proposition that the matter should be left to the engineer. There must be one responsible head and that head ought to be the engineer's. The council then came back to the discussion of street work and Aid. Kerr moved that Mr. Shaw must be on the street all the time and to" have full power to dismiss or engage the superintendent. The motion was carried. V Aid. Kerr wanted to discharge the street committee of which he is a member. He held that 'their occupation was now gone. It was pointed out that there might be matters come up which the committee could properly deal with and so the committee remains. Dr. Foster called attention to tne fact thart a man was seriously ill at the Commercial hotel. He was without means and would require careful nursing. The doctor was instructed to care for the man at the expense of the council. This brought up the old question of the hospital and Mayor Wood and Aid. Phelan were appointed a committee to see Dr. Jakes about leasing the Greenwood hospital. The council voted $25 towards the expenses in connection with the exhibit at the Spokane Fruit Fair. The street committee were instructed to see about the removal of a log cabin on the alley between Government and Copper streets and the city solicitor will, deal with a letter from Mr. I^eamy who on behalf of Mr. Mitchell objects to street grading through a mineral fraction nearly opposite the International hotel. ���*>����� ~>if A JUDICIAL INNOVATION. His Honor Judge Spinks, in the McMillan assault case, introduced a novel method of dealing with one accused of a serious charge. McMillan was committed for trial by the police magistrate who allowed bail in $3,000. McMillan went to Vernon, appeared before Judge Spinks and elected speedy trial. The judge allowed a cash bail of $200 which amount was deposited by McMillan and he was allowed his liberty pending the trial. On the day of trial McMillan made his appearance, listened attentively to the strong case made against him by the crown. He decided that as the charge was proven and that in all probability his sentence would represent in dollars and cents more than $200, the cheapest and most convenient policy would be to walk across the international boundary line. f McMillan acted wisely. Judge Spinks did not. In the future, if he allows those accused with serious oifences their liberty upon the payment of a small cash consideration,.'he- ought to furnish-them with a written guarantee that the punishment in the event of conviction will be less than the cash bail. This plan would ensure the attendance of accused persons when the verdict is g-iven and the sentence pronounced. McMillan got out of the difficulty very cheaply. His case from the time he left the control of the police magistrate was a travesty upon the proper administration of justice. McMillan can easily stand the loss of $200 but the reputation of British Columbia courts cannot stand many such cases. ." . Whether McMillan's cash bail can be estreated is a moot question. He delivered himself to the officers of the court on the day of trial. We do not know that the same bail could be held against his appearance after having once placed himself in the custody of the court. i<r*" ��V��. ��t<c ?'? ?"? '4? PIPE FOR WATERWORKS. Aid. C. Scott Galloway returned from Chicago on Tuesday. After considerable difficulty Mr. Gallowaj1-succeeded in inducing the National Tube Factory to make necessary pipe for Greenwood waterworks at once. He found that all iron factories were exceedingly bus3r and had orders to occupy their attention for some time. The order given by Mr. Galloway includes the ver}r best water pipe, all necessary fittings, hydrants, etc. The entire order has been shipped from Chicago and ought to be in Bossburg within one week. THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, PLACING THE RESPONSIBILITY. The Municipal Council of the City of Greenwood is afraid of its own resolutions. East Monday night a resolution was passed instructing- the engineer to take full charge of the work,giving him authority to dismiss or engage a superintendent. We understand that Mr. Shaw refuses to do this, holding- that it would be ar useless waste of public money to pay for his permanent services and the council have acquiesced in this decision ! - The responsibility for incompetency and mismanagement in connection with street work must then be placed on the council. . The members thereof go 1o the electors responsible for every, error made in connection with the street improvements, for every dollar uselessly expended. They will be held responsible for unfinished streets and for the throwing away of people's money in useless work. They must explain why the simplest work cost twice what it ought to cost, why the chief duty of half the men apparently Was to watch the other half working- and why none of the streets are being- finished, rounded up as they usually; are, but are left so that the surface water has no opportunity, to escape. The council must assume the responsibility for allowing- people to wade through the/mud. while sufficient money a was voted for the construction of sidewalks. The council neglects to make a professional man responsible for the work. The members of the council must take all the responsibility. The work from the start has been characterized by a waste of the people's mone3r. It has been done without a head and without system. Had the ���council been wise they would have been anxious,to shift the responsibility. Since they appear eag-er to assume it the ratepa3rers should not be slow in allowing- them every credit if any credit can be found and holding- them accountable for every error. SIR WM. VAN HORNE. Sir William Van Horne who is now in the west is reported as saying* that he expected that now that the Corbin railway interests had been turned over to the Great Northern the latter company would be found at Ottawa, at the. next session of parliament seeking- legislation that would enable them to build into British Columbia. Sir William also held that the Winnipeg- merchants should secure the greater portion of the Kootenay trade . b}r waj^ of the Crow's Nest railway and if the Corbin road is built it will divert a portion of that trade to the United States.

Galloway's homeward trip from Chicago he found it necessary to wait a few hours at Omaha. He visited the great exhibition and was surprised to find there a large exhibit of Boundary Creek minerals. He also met I*. K. Armstrong who has charge of the Washington and B. C. exhibits. "Mr. Armstrong is doing good work and the Omaha papers are giving considerable space to the B. C. exhibits. Here is an extract from the Omaha World-Herald. " The famous Cariboo mine, which was recently reorganized and is paying big dividends monthly, also is represented by a number of samples. The latter mine���the Cariboo���is particularly interesting to Omaha visitors as it is in the same district and adjoining the Lemon mine, now being developed by Omaha capital. The Lemon mine and adjoining claims owned by the company have a fine exhibit, and one which for one peculiarity will hold the attention of a mining man. It is an ideal one to work, for in place of having to send it to a smelter, the values can easily be saved by a stamp mill and concentrators. There is one piece of ore from the Lemon mine, development work on which is being pushed and which is rapidly near ing the producing stage, weighing over 100 pounds. The ore is still increasing in value, as does that of the other mines in the district, as depth is attained, but it has already reached and passed the paying point." THE MINERAL EXHIBIT. Thos. McDonnell returned on Thursday from the Fruit Fair. Mr. McDonnell reports that the Boundary Creek exhibit attracted a great deal of attention. It was by far the mos1 prominent exhibit at the Fair. Mining men from every quarter examined it carefully and were anxious to secure information regarding the district from those in charge. P. BURNS & CO. W. J. Wilson, of Nelson, manager for P. Burns & Co., wholesale butchers for Kootenay and Boundary creek, was in the city this week. This company has decided to lower their Government street building to grade and make extensve alterations. Mr. Wilson went over the line of railway along the North Fork where a great deal of meat will be necessary to supply the large number of men employed on the heav}r contracts in that vicinit3r.

The case of the editor of the Grand Forks Miner is a hopeless one. He has spasms of truthfulness occasionally and writes thing-s as they are ; but these attempts at honest journalism are a terrible strain upon him, with the result that he becomes more violent than ever. After relieving-himself of avast amount of latent lying- in the shape of an article describing- a Grand Forks smelter that was g-oing-to treat some 5000 tons of Boundary Creek ores daily the unfortunate victim of a distorted imagination was fairly rational for a short space of time. East week he aerain became the victim of his old dis- ease and graphically described the evolution by which Grand Forks became the metropolis and the g-eneral supply point for the Boundary Creek district. He modestly told his.readers that the .merchants of Grand Forks are supply- ing- fully two-thirds of the territory "��� laying- " between Gladstone on one side and Greenwood on the other. Now we do not dispute this assertion. The diction is questionable and unusual. It is the first time that we have heard that worthy creature who is addicted to the habit of laying- described as " territory," but we are ready to admit that the merchants of Grand Forks sell two-thirds of the chicken feed consumed within the limits described. But when the Miner claims in all seriousness that Grand Forks is doi more wholesale, business than all the balance of the towns in the district combined, we have a striking- proof of another outbreak of the old malady and hasten to extend our sympathy. ', When the editor of the Miner recovers from the latest attack, he oug-ht to go into the office of Mr. Gilpin, collector of customs, and an honest man. Mr. "Gilpin clears the greater portion of the g-oods coming-into the district. If he is not prevented by the rules of the department from giving- forth information, he will tell the editor that Rendell & Co., of Greenwood, sell more g-oods than all the merchants of Grand Forks combined. If the editor of the Mirier enquires further he will find that Rendell & Co., the Greenwood City Mercantile Company and the Russell Hardware Company, three Greenwood firms, sell twice as many g-oods as all the mercantile institutions between Christina Iyake and Boundary mountain. He mig-ht also discover that Olsen & Phelan or W. M. L,aw & Co., two modest but enterprising- Greenwood firms, do individually more business than any single Grand Forks firm. If the Miner wants further information it can seek the aid of Dunn's Mercantile Ag-ency, with offices at Vancouver, Victoria and Nelson. It will find that the Greenwood merchants are rated hig-h and the majority of Grand Forks merchants very low. If the Miner would like to g-o into particulars it could discover that one of the much vaunted wholesale establishments of Grand Forks was anxious to buy goods from Greenwood merchants but unfortunately its credit was anything- but g-ood and as the cash was not forthcoming-, no business was done. Grand Forks is not in the Boundary Creek country ; does not, nor can it ever do, the business of the Boundary Creek country. It is a poor, miserable, rural hamlet, situated in a frog- pond near the Kettle river, surrounded by a few beautiful farms but miles away from the mining-centers and from the business of the mining- camps. Its people quarrel among- themselves and take aclvantag-e of every opportunity to show that they have no confidence in the town nor in each other. It is a wholesale centre for nothing- but g-os- sip and scandal. As a manufacturing- town, its most striking productions are the amusingly extravagant effusions of the Grand Forks Miner. CAMP MCKINNEY. Jg" The Waterloo claim in Camp McKin- ne3r which has been acquired by a new Spokane company is being rapidly developed. Dr. J. F. Reddy of Spokane has charg-e of the work. The shaft which is five feet by seven feet in the clear and is well timbered will be sunk to the 100 foot level. It is now down 20 feet. The shaft is in solid ore. The Fountenoy, an adjoining claim to the Waterloo and owned by Hugh Cameron, is attracting- a good deal of attention since the recent rich strikes were made. There is an 80 foot shaft on the propel^ showing a five foot vein of solid mineral. The Fountenoy has the Waterloo lead and in addition another strong vein of sulphide ore. I: H. HALLETT, to.

Niagara, Oct. 14.���Carpenters are kept busy erecting- business houses and residences for the larg-e number of peo- plewho are rushing-in. Some are doing" business in tents until more substantial premises can be erected. The town has a busy appearance and from early morn till late at nig-ht, the sound of saw and hammer can be heard. The Townsite Company are heartily co-operating- in the work of building- up the city. Ten men are at work clearing- and grading- the streets and a contract has been let for a heavy bridg-e across Fisherman creek on Columbia street. The bridg-e will be a substantial structure of heavy timbers and must be completed by October 30th. D. W. Hicks has his restaurant g-oing- in full swing- and is doing a big- business. A g-ood wag-on road is being constructed by the contractors from Fisherman creek across Brown's creek to Summit camp. It will connect with the main road to Greenwood. E. McDowell has opened his livery stable. There is a great demand for horses by the many travellers in the vicinity. E. Stack has a contract for six building-s and has 12 men at work. W. Gray of Grand Forks has opened a butcher shop. P. Walsh and other contractors are busy putting- up their winter quarters at Niag-ara. Their men are coming- in rapidly and active work has already commenced. A NEW A10NTE CARLO. Those who chafe under the restraint placed upon them by Canadian law have invented a new plan whereby they can enjoy a residence here and at the same time revel in the luxury of a wide open town. A short distance beyond Cascade City is the international boundary line. Some enterprising- parties purchased a mineral location here and laid out a townsite. Others rushed to the same ground and squatted on lots. The town is under no restraint. A dance hall is the principal building*. There are certain articles such as- tobacco that can be purchased more cheaply on the American side and it is- said that Monte Carlo does a big- business in this kind of g-oods which is- afterwards smug-g-led across the line. During- railway construction Monte Carlo is likely to be a lively place. It already glories in a shooting- scrape and one or two other incidents of a frontier town. Every line of business thrives here excepting- that of a moral reform association. There is great need for such an institution but no encouragement to begin business.

It is evident that Sir William Van Home does not look upon the second application for a charter to build a competing railway to Boundarj'* Creek in any friendly spirit. In a brief interview, a synopsis of which is given elsewhere, he talks about the diversion of trade and the preservation of Canadian trade for Canadians. It can fairly be taken for granted that the C.P.R. intends to renew its opposition to the Corbin charter. The Dominion government cannot escape behind the subterfuge that the application for a charter to build a railway to compete against the C.P.R. is not a question of public policy and consequently the government is not called upon to express its opinion. Public opinion has been sufficiently aroused in connection with , this matter to force the government into taking a decided stand either for or against the construction of, another railway into the Boundary Creek country. The Minister of Railways cannot defend the granting of a railway charter in opposition to the C.P.R. while the Minister of Public Works rushes to the defense of the C.P.R. Unless the arovernment wishes to be accused of being afraid of the C. P. R. it ..'���must take a decided stand in favor of the rights of the people. All the arg-uments are in favor of the Corbin road. The only excuse for refusing the charter is that the C.P.R. does not -want it granted and that the government and parliament have no power to guard the interests of the country when these interests conflict with those of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. ��� , V A BIG LUMBER CONTRACT. Alex. McDonald, of McPherson Bros. <fe Stout, was in Brooklyn this week, returning from a visit of inspection to the scene of operations of his firm -on the line of the Robson-Penticton railway. The contract of the firm includes the greater part of the bridge timbers' and ties to be used on this new road, amounting to 5,000,000 feet of lumber and 175,000 ties. The sawmill installed some 20 miles out has nearly finished the work laid out for it at the present location, and will soon be moved a few miles further to the new town of Gladstone, where it will probably be located all winter. There is an abundance of heavy timber at the new location. After it reaches Gladstone the mill will run night and day, cutting 60,000 feet, daily. The..firm- now has a large force in the woods getting out ties, of which some 75,000 have been delivered to the right of wa.y. The good weather of the fall has helped them to get a good start on their larere contract. 20,000 APPLE TREES. 2,000 PEAR TREES. Other Nursery Stock.

TUNNELS, MINES AND QUARRIES Straight Line Duplex an COMfP'LETE MINE E JAMES COOPER MANUFACTURING COM Branch Office, ROSSLAND, B, C MONTREAL, P. Q. JAMES D, SWORD, Manager' DECIDED HIS OWN CASE. M. McMillan considered a line of $200 sufficient punishment for assaulting- James Foulds and walked across the International boundary line, thus forcing- Judge Spinks to render a verdict that agreed with his opinions. McMillan appeared before Judge Spinks at Midway on Monday. He was represented by J. P. McLeod and A. Leamy; while A. S. Black prosecuted for the Crown. The case against McMillan was a' strong- one. There -were several witnesses to swear that McMillan and Moulds had a row ; that afterwards McMillan bought a piece of steel and threatened to use it on Foulds ;" that he met Foulds on the street and did use the steel. The case for the Crown was closed about 12.30, when an,, adjournment was taken1: for luncheon. Since he elected speedy trial McMillan had been out on a cash bail of $200. When Judge Spinks ordered an adjournment, Mr. McL,eod blandly inquired if the same bail AYonld stand. The Judge answered in the affirmative, and McMillan was again free. When the court sat again at 2.15, McMillan did not appear. His name was called but he did not answer. Constable E}lkins was sent out for him. The constable went to the International boundary line and returned with the information that Mc- Millan could not be found. McMillan remained in Midway until about two o'clock. He then went to > the Lancashire House, walked through the dining-room and kitchen into the back yard, jumped the fence and was in Uncle Sam's domain. Judge Spinks ordered his cash bail of $200 estreated and the case was ended. Had he remained for sentence McMillan probably would have received at least six months' imprisonment. BOUNDARY CREEK ORES. The Spokesman-Review makes the following reference to the Boundary Creek exhibit at the fruit fair : " On the east side of the shelving is the display of the Boundary Creek ores. It is in some respects the most prominent exhibit in the department. There is nothing small about it. It occupies all of one side of the central shelving and no small samples are great shown. The specimens are chunks of solid bronze ore, typical of the monster ledges which make Boundary Creek famous. The display is by no means a complete one. A score or more of well known, properties are not represented. Still the display gives a fair idea of what the district can produce- Prominent among the ores are several big blocks from the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides mines in Greenwood camp. These are owned by Montreal capitalists and Jay P. Graves of Spokane. The properties adjoin, and although owned by different companies are under the same management 'and operated with the same power. The City of Paris, in White's camp, owned by the same people, is also represented. It is being equipped with a compressor and is showing some remarkably rich copper-gold ore. The Mackenzie & Mann properties in Greenwood camp, the Stemwinder and Brooklyn, show fine specimens of ore. These mines are managed by J. E}. Boss, of Spokane. They have shut down for the winter, but will resume in the spring with machinery and will make ready for shipping when the railroad conies into camp next year. Other Greenwood properties showing ores are the Snowshoe, Victoria and Raw-hide. ��� The latter was recently bonded by Peter parson, the Cceur d'Alene mining magnate. The famous Mother I^ode mine in Deadwood camp sends some of the fine looking copper-gold ore which is making it famous. It was the immense size of the Mother L,6de ledge that gave the claim its name. A tunnel has been run through the vein 200 feet from wall to wall with ore every foot of the waj--. The Morrison group also shows ore from Deadwood camp. A Spokane company is operating the mine. The Buckhorn is the only other Deadwood property represented. From Summit camp there are fine samples from the B. C. mine which is said to be under negotiation to a British syndicate for a round half million. It is one of the best developed properties in the district and one of the richest. There is ore also from the Mount Rose, Oro Dinero and Emma properties in Summit camp. Copper camp is represented by the King Solomon which is owned by D. C. Corbin of this city and which is being rapidly developed. The claim is showing native copper in recent workings.. ..���'-��� I 7 The Jewel and Denero Grande of I/ong I^ake camp are represented by big chuncks of rock which shows its value on its face. The mineral is galena, iron and copper pyrites, zinc blend with some free gold and tellurides,, giving high assays in gold and silver. The Silent Friend also shows some rich samples of ore from the, same camp. Conspiciousjn the center of the display are ores from Camp McKinney from the dividend paying Cariboo and the Sailor Boy claim. Case Dismissed. Miller & Iveyson, of the Gem. Cigar Store, who were charged with running a gambling joint, appeared for trial before Judge Spinks on Monday. J. P. Mclyeod and A. Iyeamy appeared for the defence and A. S. Black represented the Crown. While G. H. Ford, the prosecuting witness, was in the box, Mr. Black asked him to describe the game of poker. "Oh, that's not necessary," said the Judge, " you and I know what draw poker is; we've played together." Judge Spinks announced later that he often played poker and didn't consider himself a gambler. He held that poker wasn't a game of chance. Mr. Black practically threw up the case and the charge was dismissed. .',��������� NEIL���MOHR. Mr. R. W. Neil and Miss Caroline J. Mohr, daughter of Mr. Chas. ID. Mohr, of Vernon, were married in the Methodist church, Vernon, by Rev. E}. Rob- ��� son on the 4th inst. Miss Olive Donaldson was bridesmaid and Mr. Carter Cryderman supported the groom. The bride is a sister of Mrs..George Mc- Kague of Greenwood. Mr. and Mrs- Neil will reside at Vernon. R. J. Barnett, a prominent merchant of Colville, Wash., was in the city during the week. Mr. Barnett was among the first to purchase Greenwood real estate. He owns some of the best business lots in the city and is so well satisfied with his investments that he has decided to make further purchases. 1/ l''.l '/��� ������& r i ' .' ��f i I < jJI'W ( II GREENWOOD CITY is the central town and supply point of the Boundary Creek mining camps, From this new town roads lead to the GREENWOOD, mm �� LONG LAKE, DEADWOOD SUMMIT, SKYLARK, ��8M WHITE AND ATWOOD, WELLINGTON AND SMITH CAMPS Lots are selling freely and are a good investment -o- For price of Lots and other information, address Rdjbt Wood or G & Greenwood City, Boundary Creek, 1 *< Or apply to the Agents i C.
