,s ��** / LAW Vol. 7. GREENWOOD, B. C. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 1902. No. 5. .r< s The Garretson System May be Introduced fllllRIILnillER New Invention That Cheapens Cost of Smelting. J. N. Greenshields, K. C, and A. A. Munroe of Montreal, directors of the Montreal ,& Boston Copper company arrived- here by the Great Northern Wednesday evening'. They were on the coast watching' the blowing' in of the smelter at Crofton, B. C. , The furnace there is what is known as the Garretson which was invented by C.'S. and F. C. Garretson, father and Son. This the first smelter of the kind in British Columbia an 3 its operation is being watched with interest by mining and smelting men. Should it prove a success a similar furnace will be installed by the Montreal & Boston Copper company at their Sunset smelter, Boundary Falls. The following- description of the furnace prepared by F. C. Garretson, will under the circumstances be read with* interest. v Mr. Garretson says : "My father and I have been working on it for nearly ten years. We got on to the subject through a mine in Mexico���a low grade and rebellious ore proposition��� which we bought. We sent samples of: the ore to seven metallurgists and they* s;nt- seven 'different -.kinds of advice, so it was pretty certain that six of them were wrong. We finally decided that pyritic .smelting was the best and we worked our furnaces and did much experimenting in a small way.' Finally, about three years ago, we developed the idea patented' in the Garretson furnace as it is today. "It is a little difficult to explain our system in a way intelligible to a la3'- man,.butlmay say that the ordinary process of smelting- involves the roasting- and smelting of ore as separate processes to the converting of it. The ore takes six weeks in the roasting "process, "aiicl",~"i n "theTease of li "smelter treating 1000 tons of ore a day there would have to be 42,000 tons of ore��� which means the capital represented by its value tied up for the time being. The smelting process is much the same in our furnace, but we utilize the sulphur and iron in the ore as fuel, which saves the cost of coke. In ordinary pyritic ore there are as many heat units as in coal. "Further, we do away with the cost of the converting plant, which is the most expensive portion of a smelling plant. In cases where the ore is right we do away with carbonaceous fuel, and the cost of the Garretson process is, toughly, just one-fourth the cost of ordinary smelting. "After roasting- it is necessary to put the ore through another process, often through an ordinary water-jack eted shaft furnace, alter which you have a 50 per cent matte to put into the converter to be blown, into copper. In our furnace we take the raw ore as it comes from the mine, charge it into the top of "the furnace and take out at the bottom blister copper, which is about 94 per cent metallic copper. After that it is only necessary to refine it electrolytically, to eliminate what impurities remain and separate the gold and silver. "The difficulty with the present process has been that a high grade product could not be made without taking a rich slag���too rich in mineral to be thrown away. Also it was not considered possible to convert in a water- jacketed converter without lining it with fire clay and crushed quartz,which has to be frequently replaced and is an expensive method. A number of systems of introducing silica, into the converters have been tried, and they have been lined with refractory material such as magnesia, but it was found difficult to introduce the necessary silica so as to make it combine with the oxide of iron formed in converting. "We obviated this difficulty by converting underneath the charge in the furnace, feeding an excess of silica in with the charge and converting- by a row of tuiers placed around the furnace. In this way we prevented all the silica from being taken up at the top and it is forced down by the weight of the charge above it as silica, into the matte where it is required. "We are not claiming to do anything which is not entirely consistent with the laws of chemistry. We have simply combined.the three existing processes, and the whole operation takes place in one apparatus. Pyritic smelting is an established fact. The reason it is not move in use is that in order to make a sufficiently high grade matte it is essential to run the furnace very slowly, and it is then liable to clog up. If the furnace is kept in good smelting condition the product is so low grade that it has to be put through the smelter again. In our furnace we are not particular what grade of matte we get, because converting is carried on in the same vessel. ��� "It has always been said that if you make a high grade product it means a rich slag, but we can make a rich product and get a clean slag because the making of a rich product is carried on below the slag level in the furnace, and before the slag goes out of the furnace it is cleaned by the low grade matte falling and being converted. "We are creating an excess of heat by converting immediately under the smelting zone of the furnace. It is usually considered necessary in pyritic smelting to have a hot blast, and we avoid that by putting an excess of air in the converting tuiers and allowing it to pass through the hot matte -and slag into the smelter zone above, being heated In its passage. "The' Garretson furnace has never been* a successful commercial operation, but sufficient experiment has been made to show that we are sure of the ground. The furnace has been built for several smelters, but none has been in operation up 'to the present. The first we constructed vya��,' for a mine in Mexico', but the plant was held in quarantine so long that we got tired and built another at Ely, Vermont, to work on pre dumps containing one per cent of copper. Our experiments there was quite satisfactory, but we were obliged to abandon the place owing to the sale of the property we were working on. , "The next furnace was built for Colorado people, but we found that it was only secured for stock jobbing purposes, although we had been assured that they had the right ore. Another was built for a mine in California, but that got tied up in litigation and the furnace is still side-tracked at Buffalo. The next furnace was built for a mine in North Carolina which has been shut down for twenty years, and we intended working on a dump of ore containing one and six-tenths per cent copper. But the arrangements were bad, the swater supply insufficient and the buildings were not constructed as they had been planned. Mr. Bellinger came down when the place was' ready and we were in a hurry to get to work and used soap- stone for the bottom of the furnace. We got one run out of it and then the trouble began. During a six hours' run we put through 49 tons of ore, using- only 2 per cent of coke. But conditions were not altogether satisfactory and we decided to erect another furnace at Crofton, here in British Columbia, on the plans of the Northwest Smelting and Refining company, which Mr. Bellinger kindly placed at our disposal. "The furnace itself is a rectangular shaft furnace, 38 inches wide and 161 inches long inside. The height of the jacket is 9 feet 10 1-2 inches, with a number of 2-iuch smelting tuiers. Its capacity is 360 tons in 24 hours. "The patent in the United States is held by the present company, the Gai- retson Furnace eompany of Piltsburg- The Garreston Southern, a subsidiary j company, holds the rights for some of the southern states, and the Pittsburg J and Montana company have the rights | in Montana. The Garretson Foreign | Patents Co., control the patents in \ Chili, Australia, England, Spain and other foreign countries, with the ex ception of Mexico, where it is controlled by the Garretson-Mexico Co. The rights in British Columbia are held by Pittsburg people in connection with Mr. Bellinger and his associates. The parent company is organized on a uominal capital, the inventors holding half the stock." Returned Home. L. B. Hodge and bride arrived on Tuesday and received a cordial welcome from many friend3. In the evening the Greenwood Citizen's band and the Greenwood Fire department,organ- izations in which Mr. Hodge is a prominent member, serenaded the happy couple at their residence on Greenwood street. The band played several popular airs around a big bonfire which was started near the residence. Afterwards Mr. Hodge was taken to the fire hall where he was presented with a handsome tea service by his brother members. Some happy speeches were niadq. In addition to the presentation of the band and fire department Mr. and Mrs. Hodge were the recipients of many handsome presents.. Miller Bros., Sell. Miller Bros., haAe.sold their jewellry business to A. Logan, and Geo.' F. Miller will leave for California in a few weeks. Miller Bros., were among the pioneer merchants] of: Greenwood aud by careful attention to business and courteous treatment they built up a large jewellry and drug business. Some time ago the drug department was sold to J. L. White & Co. Miller Bros., were good business men and good citizens of Greenwood, and their retiring from business in Greenwood will be generally regretted'.' Their successor Mr., Logan, is a bright young man who has been with them for several: years. He is deservedly popular and is sure to do a large business. l Information Wanted. -; Information is wanted of the address of Frank Kernohan, formerly of Edmonton, N. W. T., who about two years ago was a resident of the City of Greenwood, B. C. A small legacy has been left in his favour. HALLETT & SHAW, Solicitors, Etc. Greenwood, B. C, Sept 24th, 1902. 0<>-0-CH>0<>0<>0<>00<>00<>0-CH>0<>0<>00- Good Advice BUILDING BRISK. Many Handsome Structures to be Erected This Fall, An indication of the revival of good times is to be found in the large amount of building that is being contemplated or is under way. The excavation for the new school is completed and the stonemasons are hard at work on the foundations. The contractors Bunting and Dempsey expect to have the building for occupation before the opening- of the new school term at the New Year. The contract for the court house will be let in a few days. Architect Curtis has completed the specifications and tenders will be called for early next week. Mr. McMynn who has full charge of the building- is anxious to get it roofed in before the cold weather comes. Smith Bros., have already started work on Mr. McMynn's handsome residence on Long Lake street. Mr. Curtis is also the architect for this building. The work on the extension to the Greenwood hospital is about completed. The additiou adds greatly to tlie appearance of the building-and affords greater facilities for the cure of the sick. T. .B. Winnett is building- a handsome brick residence on Long Lake street. The brick work is about completed and the building will be ready for occupation in November. P. Burns & Co., are considering the erection of a building here this fall, They, are gathering figures to the list and in all probability will decide to build. Plans for other buildings are being prepared so that a lively season in the building trade can be looked for. Successful Services Big Delegation of Mining and Financial Men. The Beginning of an Era of Good Times. The position taken by the Boundary Creek Times in reference to advertising in the local paper has received a hearty endorsement from a gentleman living in the east. The gen tie- man has had a long and successful career part of which was spent in public life in this country. He has been interested in various portions of the growing west and has watched the growth of towns, from their infancy. He is interested in Greenwood in as much as his son is in business here. Father and son keep up a regular correspondence not the least interesting portion of which is the good advice that comes from age and experience. In a recent letter the following is included presumably for the benefit of the son but it is good enough to go around and is therefore given below : "I see the Times goes for the "merchants and others for not "advertising. What he says "is right. The people do not "know, or seem not to know, "what a personal advantage it "would be to each one of them, "if they, without exception, "were to invest a few dollars "in keeping their business be- "fore the public. Outsiders "are attached to a live, advertising town. I don't see you "figuring in the Times at all "now." <KXKK>0-(X>-C>-0-0<>0<><XX^ Methodist Church Fittingly Celebrate Their Anniversary On Sunday last good congregations assembled in the Methodist church to listen to Rev. J. F. Betts of Grand Forks, who preached two very able sermons appropriate to the occasion of Church Anniversary and Harvest Home. On Monday nigiit the church was filled by a very appreciative audience, who listened to one of the best programme's ever rendered in Greenwood. As soloists Mrs. Oliver, Miss Flesher J^^.-_M?.v*J?^*C^-l??^-^le-^?ilH*I*^-^.th!L Boundary country, and on Monday night they ably sustained the enviable reputation they had already won. Little Gladys Harvey, whose great talents as a singer always ensure her a good audience, charmed her hearers with "The Holy City." Miss Margaret Reece, who is also but a child, gave two recitations very acceptably. A masterly address was given by Mr. G. W. Gaunce, in line with the church anniversary. Mr. Gaunce is always well received and never disappoints those who expect a rich treat. On Monday night he gave an address that was most favorably commented on by all who heard it. Rev. Mr. Betts came as a stranger to Greenwood, but won for himself golden opinions both by his Sunday sermons and his excellent address on Monday night. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion, showing that great care and much labor had been expended by the committee. At the close of the programme the ladies of the church served refreshments in abundance and excellent in quality. The financial profit to the church will be about $50. Rev. J. D. P. Knox presided during the rendering of the programme, and Mrs. O'Mara aud Miss Flesher played the accompaniments for the singers. Greenwood was visited by a heavy aggregation of mining-, financial and commercial men this week. Outsiders appreciate the fact that in all lines there is a big revival of business. The travel to and from the city has increased, new mining deals are being made, and there is increased. activity in com- merciaLlife. Jay "P". Gfaives, the founder of the big Granby company, arrived here on Monday, accompanied by H. N. Gay lor of Grand Forks. Mr. Graves says he has not lost sight of. Greenwood, and wants to keep in close touch with its people.' In the evening they were joined by Wm. Yolen'Wil- ' Hams,superintendent for the company. Tuesday morning they went to Copper camp to look at the Big Copper and the King Solomon. Although the Granby company have an inexhaustible treasury , of ore in the Knob Hill and Old ; Ironsides, still the shrewd men at the head of the company are not opposed to, getting more good things, and are always- looking for new investments.. Mr. Graves, who goes east shortly, will probably remain there during the winter, 'Another institution closely iden- i tified with the Granby. company is the Eastern Townships Bank. Many of the shareholders of the bank are interested in the big mining company. This accounted for the bank's jumping across the continent .and opening branches at Grand Forks and Phoenix. These branches,besides adding greatly to the profits of the slower going eastern branches, furnish the wise men of the East with an opportunity to see life in the West. Each year three or four of the officials come out here. ���This year-JV'MrMcKinnonrthe general"^ manager, and W. L. Ball, the manager of the branch at Richmond, Que., were the fortunate ones. Accompanied by William Spier, the bank's manager at Grand Forks, and A. C. Flumerfelt, assistant manager of the Granby company and a director of the Eastern Townships Bank, they spent Thursday in Greenwood, returning to Grand Forks by the afternoon train. Two other gentlemen who are associated with big undertakings in the Boundary are J. N. Greenshields, K. C, and A. A. Munroe of Montreal. They arrived here 'from the coast on Thursday. The Montreal & Boston Copper company, of which they are directors, is doubling the capacity of their Boundary Falls sm-tlter. In the meantime it is treating large quantities of ore daily. During their visit to the coast. Messrs. Greenshields and Munroe visited the Crofton smelter, and were interested spectators of the initial test of the new Garretson furnace. Commercially the city has also been active. Drummers representing big houses in the east and west were here and took heavy orders. A revival has struck the town and district, and everyone confidently expects a long era of good times. A regular monthly meeting of the Greenwood Liberal association was held on Wednesday evening. President J. R. Brown presided and there was a good attendance present After the routine business, resolutions were passed urging the railway committee of the Privy council.to grant the V. V. & E. the necessary permission to cross the C. P. R. tracks and also urging the Postmaster-geneial to arrange for a better mail service between here and the Similkameen district. Notice is hereby given that after this date I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my wife Bertha Larsen. Gkorge Larskn. Greenwood, Sept. 19th, 1902. Mrs. A. Foster of Pembroke, Ont., is in the city the guest of her son Dr. Geo. M. Foster. The doctor met his mother at Calgary and journeyed with her to the coast where a few days were pleasantly spent. They arrived in Greenwood on Saturday last. /.*" twuaem warn THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. UNION <, - THE BEST WORKMANSHIP LABEL �� �� ���ft on all ���!> Garments * EVERYTHING GUARANTEED.

It is now naarly six years since the winter first met Jay P.Graves in Greenwood. He hasn't changed much in that time. He is the same Jay P. Graves���quiet, gentlemanly, unassuming. Time has dealt generously with him and he doe3 not look older then he did when he first came over the trail to see two wild cats in Greenwood Camp. But in those six years Mr. Graves did things. Then he was an obscure Spokane broker tempting the Godness. of Fortune Jin a new camp) today he is managing director of .one the largest and most successful mining ��� and smelting company's in the world Nature provided those enormous bodies of low grade ore but it was the genius of Jay P. Graves that organized the necessary capital that developed them. The visit of Mr. Graves to Greenwood this week recalled similar visits in the early days of the camp. In the struggle for news in those days, he was always 'interviewed by a Times representative' This style of newspaper work sounded -big foran-obscure-weekly_..but we.had to mortgage the future somewhat in thesedays���in fact we havn't ceased the practice yet. What modest interviews they were. Here are extracts from one or two of them culled_from the files of the Times. "The development of the Knobhill will be done by hand, but in the near future the twe companies will put in and operate a plant jointly." "Both Companies for whom he is managing-director have determined to develope the properties A foreman will be s..cured who will huve charge of the work in the ground while Mr. Graves will manage the properties from Spokane, making frequent visits here during the summer." "Development work will be pushed on the Ironsides during the winter. Double shifts will be engaged." "Mr. Graves has given the order for an electric battery." "A compresser will be purchased and a hoist and pump for the Knob Hill." "Unless a railway is built through Greenwood Camp, they will bring their ores down by a tramway to Greenwood." "Mr. Graves believes the ores will concentrate and to thoroughly demonstrate this ten tons will be shipped to secure tests." People get impatient at the slow development in low grade mining camps but the most of the above excerpts are culled from intervews given in 1897 - five years ago. A little later Mr. Graves announced the appointment of William Yolen Williams as superintendent of both properties. Mr. Williams was described as having had a long and successful experience in the management of mines. The appointment of Mr. Williams demonstrated as much as any other act of Mr. Graves that he has the capacity for managing and developing a big mining property. A big mine required a big superintendent and Mr. Williams met the requirements in every particular. Big in stature, big in heart, big in his knowledge of mining matters, he made the Knob Hill what it is today. And what have we after five years ? In addition to a smelter with a capacity or 1500 tons of ore a day, a converter capable of handling the product of this and other smelters, the story of the mines is best told in Mr. Williams- words. In his own frank, straightforward way he told theiBritish editors something about the Knob Hill at the luncheon given them by Mr. Waterlow at the Snowshoe mine. Mr. Williams said that he left his native land of Wales^ 32 years ago, and he had worked in all the principal mining districts of the United States, and nowhere had he seen such.enormous ore bodies as iu Phoenix. When he took charge of these mines four years ago, all the development consisted of a shaft 100 feet deep and a small drift of about 25 feet. Today they had three miles of underground development. At present they were turning out only 750 tons of ore per day, on account of the shortage of coke at the smelters, but this would soon be remedied and they would turn out from 1,500 to 1,600 tons daily. The huge ore bodies of that district were practically��� inexhaustible.-~*-Some -of the stopes in the Old Ironsides would compare favorably with any mine on the American continent. They had stopes 400 feet wide. They were already mining 700 feet vertically from the surface, and in addition to this they had prospected by meaus of a diamond drill to a further depth of 1,000 feet below the surface. Knowing this they had commenced the erection of a much larger compresser plant, which, when completed, would be the largest in Canada. With this new plant-in operation, it would be as easy to mine 5,000 tons of ore per day as it is now to mine 1,500 tons. It must be remembered that in order to develop these great mines a large a- mouut ot money was needed, and also a considerable amount of time, but he felt confident that the niot.y so invested would return good profits. All this reads like the dream of an enthusiast. It is only a record of events during the past five years. When the modest statement of Mr. Graves that that the Knob Hill will be developed by hand is contrasted with the Conservative statement of Mr. Williams regarding the miles of underground work and the capacity of the mine, it is difficult to argue that the development of this district has been slow. Mr. Curtis Explains Recently Enacted Legislation. As considerable misunderstanding exist regarding the new provisions of the recent Redistribution Act and the amedments to the Provincial Election Actthe following facts, which have been ascertained from Smith Curtis, M. E.A. will be of interest: (a) The redistribution of the province into new ridings electing 42 members instead of 38 as at present will not come into effect until the present legislation is dissolved. (b) The present voters' lists as revised in May and November in each year continue to be it force until the dissolution of the present assembly. (c) In case of a vacancy in any riding prior to the dissolution of the present assembly, the bye-election would be for the old constituency on the present voters' lists. (d) Whenever the present assembly is dissolved, the present voters' lists will thereby be canceled, and the government will forthwith appoint a collector for each-new-ridiiig-audhewiU prepared new voters' list and must hold a court of revision of same within three months from the date of the dissolution and the general elections will be held upon such revised new lists. " (e) When a general election is held ho one will have a vote unless he has made special application after the dissolution of the assembly has been proclaimed. (f) Hereafter whether .application is made to get on the present lists for old ridings, or after cancellation of the present lists, to get on the new lists to be usad at the general election, the applicant instead of making a mere declaration as heretofore must make an affidavit before some one authorized to take it, of his right and qualification, and in case of false swearing- will be liable to criminal prosecution for perjury, the maxinum penalty which is fourteen years in the penitentiary. The new lists for the geneJal election will be fairly clean. The present lists are loaded down with a very large number of names of persons who have not by reason of non-residence or death not entitled to vote, and this obtains to the extent of 25 per cent or even 50 per cent of the number enrolled so that the present lists are perfectly sc uidalous. , Established 1836.

CKKX)00<>0<>0<K>0-O<>0-0<H>OOOOCK'0*<>00<)0<^^ Last week we made only a passing- reference to that very remarkable article which appeared in *he' Grand Forks News-Gazette of September 15th. The Grand Forks paper attempts by a volume of words'to answer the facts given by us in a previous is- fully demonstrating that Greenwood is the natural Smelting: Centre of the Boundary. The Gazette labors to convince to its readers that Grand Forks is the only place for smelters, but smelting: men do not entertain the same opinion. Position means much from a smelting point of view. In the treatment of low grade ores, the successful smelter man must figure where he can assemble the largest quantity of ore at the lowest possible cost. It is not sufficient to consider the product of the mine alone but he must select the point to which the various ores of the district will gravitate. Look at Coryell's map of 1899 of Grand Forks and Kettle river mining divisions of B. C. and it will be seen that Greenwood is in the centre of the Producing mines of Copper Camp, Dead- woodCamp, Providence Camp, Long Lake Camp, Summit Camp, Greenwood Camp, (Phoenix Camp), Wellington Camp and Central Camps. Grand Forks is located outside these camps in a corner of the map. There is one serious obstacle against Grand Forks as the natural smelting centre for the Phoenix ores, and that is that Grand Forks is over 25 miles distant by rail from Phoenix and that the height to which all empty cars and engines have to be lifted to be brought from Grand Forks to Phoenix is nearly 3000 feet which means n comparatively large expenditure of power and coal which means money. That is why Grand Forks can never expect a.much cheaper rate than 37j4 cts per ton ore from Phoenix as at less Kgnre there is not inoney enough for a railroad to handle the ore,taking into consideration the amount of coal used for the engines and the wear and tear with this distance on ore cars and rails. If theSnow- shoe mine.,decid,e% to put their smelter at or near Greenwood they can build a tramway about 6 or 7 miles in length' and have their ores brought down to their smelter for a cost of 10 to 15 cts per ton. If they want to run their smelter with electricity, they can probably get this for the same price in Greenwood as at Grand Forks, as tlie loss by leakage does not amount to such a great difference whether the power is delivered to Grand Forks or Greenwood from Cascade City where they can develop 7,000 h. p. which is more than the Granby Co. need and in order to get site for their surplus power -probably-would-be-williug--to.give.iLaL the same price in Greenwood* as in Grand Forks,. Regarding the question of disposing of the slag from smelters; there are many ways to do this. One is to run it out into large steel bowls on trucks by electricity and dump it hot. In tlieia way it takes less room than if granulated, and only costs a trille more. In fact the big 1000 tons xVrkansas Valley smelters at Leadville Colo, run their slag out and dump it over 2 miles away from the furnaces.This is the least of a smelter man's worries. The best criterion of a smelter man's success is results. Paul Johnson secured fame and name in the smelter world before he came to Greenwood aud his reputation as one of tlie most successful smelter men in the world to day has been increased by the remarkable record made here. Mr. Johuson was asked why he did not consult the oracle at Grand Forka before deciding to build a smelter at Greenwood. He laughed heartily when he read the Grand Forks article. He said "The actual distance from tlie Mother Lode mine to the smelter by a tramway would only be 2J'i miles and then we could bring the ore down to tlie smelter for a cost of 7 cts. per ton. Steam power is not much more expensive than water power; I use in running two furnaces and smelting 750 tons of ore daily, only only 7 tons of coal which cast .54.25 per ton in Greenwood, thus the actual motor power costs only 4 cts. per ton of ore smelted and in dry seasons like this, you can always rely on getting your power if you can get the coal." Take the question of transportation. The Mothers Lode is said not to pay llyi. cts. per ton on freight for ore to their smeller which is less than half what Giand Forks smelters have to pay from Phoenix and the power ouiy amounting to 4 cts. per ton it is obvious there is no need of running 25 miles away from their mines to get water power which is conspicuous by its absence at Grand Forks this year. The dry season has lessened the water in the North Fork of the Kettle river to such an extent that the Granby Company have had to shut down their converter aud can only run two furnaces with a capacity of 640 tons a day, whereas the Greenwood smelters, at present smell over 1000 tons daily and is therefpre the largest smelting point in the Boundary at present. With the three addition al* furnaces and converter which the B.C. Copper Company intend putting in and also the new furnaces at the Boundary Falls smelter, Greenwood is destined to keep up its present position as the principal smelt- centre of the Boundary The Ladies of the Presbyterian church intend giving a novel entertainment on the evening of October 8th, in the shape of a rainbow tea.

Title | Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-09-26 |
Description | The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
