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.

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.

Work was commenced on Silver and  Long Lake streets during the week;  Copper street is said to be finished but  unless the announcement was made no  one would have though that such was  the case.  The trucks for the cars arrived at  last and work was resumed on the Gov-,  ernment street cut. The cars are running fairly well and the earth ought to  be removed at a very low  figure.  About a dozen men are still at work  on the dam.  The announcement is now made that  no effort will be made to flume Twin  Creek along Government street until  it is seen how the money lasts. The  council have made no move towards  securing the necessary lumber for sidewalks.  The force of men was not as large as  that of the preceding week. A number of the employes voluntarily quit  work, while others were discharged.  The work of digging the trenches  for the waterworks has not been commenced.  ;" To-day, Mr. B.

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.
