I> I'* >* s* ,��� v ��> 00 Vol. 7. GREENWOOD, B. C. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 1902. P' O. 3. Four of the Party Visit the Boundary Towns and Mines DELIGHTED IH11! Claim That This is Most Interesting Part of Dominion. British editors have com* and gone and the Boundary district still remains. They were offered.everything in sight but with that innate modesty which is characteristic of all newspaper men they took nothing away save the impression that they had seen one of the . greatest mining- districts in the world. Only four came here, but surely the flower of Mr. Preston's flock, as it was scarcely possible to( get twelve men as entertaining, as wholesouled and as enthusiastic about British Columbia as the four who came :here. And they represented big- papers too. There was E. G. Le Sage of the London Telegraph, a paper credited with having the largest circulation in the world; James Lumsden of the Leeds Mercury, one of the best of those provincial papers that wield a powerful influence in the big industrial centres of England;- James Proudfoot of the Glasgow Herald, with the largest circulation In Scotland, and J. M. Howe right from the Highlands and proud to be connected with the chief Highland paper.the Highland News of Inverness. The big. four, wer.e met at Robson.by Mayor Holland andE.'A. Manly of Grand Forks. Unfortunately Wednesday's train in which they came to the Boundary was an hour late, thus somewhat disarranging the plans for seeing the Boundary. They were shown the Granby smelter and the Kettle River valley by the Grand Forks committee. They were met at Grand Forks by the acting mayor of Greenwood who accompanied them on a special train' to this city. They did not reach here until seven o'clock in the evening, instead of 5 o'clock as was expected���too late to be shown any of the"mine-*"^ Several^roTninentcitiMirs" met them at the Hotel Armstrong and the evening was spent very pleasantly. Mayor Kumberger of Phoenix ��� and Anthony J. McMillan, managing-director of the Snowshoe mine, came down to assist in entertaining the visitors. The visitors were unanimous in expressing regrets that the trip through the mining districts was so hurried that the whole party could not visit all camps. The people of Canada were so hospitable and there was so much to see in this great country that it was so easy to speijd time at various points and so difficult to get away. The inevitable result followed. They found themselves wtihout sufficient time to do justice to what they easily saw was the most important and most interesting part of the Dominion, No one could come here without being impressed with the boundless mineral resources, the glorious climate and the energy and hospitality of the people. Mr. Lumsden and the other newspaper men gave every assurance however, that although few in number, the Boundary would not suffer, their enthusiasm would overflow to the other members of the party. Their constituents would know the truth about the wonderful district and they would do everything in their power to remove any prejudices which might exist. Naturally enough three out of the four British editors were enthusiastic Scotsmen. AH save Mr. Le Sage came from .the land of the heather and he said that he felt like calling himself Mc- Sage and registering from Aberdeen. Although from the greatest city in the world he had made a hunt through Canada for a Londoner but was unable to find one���they were all Scotch. Eloquent speeches, song and story the visitors at the end voted their informal entertainment at Greenwood the most pleasant of the numerous similar gatherings since their trip began. Thursday morning Paul Johnson took the visitors in charge and showed them the Greenwood smelter. Every portion was inspected and Mr. Johnson fully explained to them how ore could be treated here cheaper than any other place in the world and how a furnace could treat more" ore here than any other place in the world. Lack of time- precluded a visit to the Mother Lode and Sunset but the editors were told that the ore deposits were similar to those of the Knob Hill and Ironsides which they would see later in the day. Mayor Rumberger and Mr. McMillan then took charge of the party. They were taken up the steep mountain road in a four horse stage���a novelty which they greatly enjoyed. Two hours were spent underground at the Knob Hill and old Ironsides under the guidance of W, Yolen Williams and Mr. Woos- ter.| Acres of ore, miles of tunnels and drifts and the big glory holes were seen. Tired, hungry but enthusiastic, the visitors then went to the Snowshoe, where they had been invited to luncheon by Mr, George S. Waterlow, chairman of the board of directors of the Snowshoe Gold and oopper mines, Limited. Mr. La Sage found his Londoner and he and the the other members of the party were the guest of a gentlemen whose home is in London but who dispensed hospitality with a lavish hand in the wilds of British Columbia. Here they found at least one British capitalist who had plenty of faith in the mineral resources of this province. In addition to the visitors, Mr. Waterloo had as his guest several local gentlemen who enjoyed his hospitality as much as the newspaper men. In welcomining the guests Mr. Waterloo gave an address whose force and eloquence was sure to make an impressioa.onthe-visitors., Hereto-?, fore they met British Columbians eager to defend their country against the criticisms of capital in the mother country but here they found an English investor in a convincing way breaking down the barriers that had been built up against investments in this province. Mr; McMillan and Dr. Jones also delivered interesting addresses and Mr. La Sage and Mr. Lumsden in their replies eloquently confessed that they had fallen in love with the Boundary. It was strange but true, that the farther they went the more were they impressed with the wonderful resources of Canada. The C. P. R. courteously held the train at the Snowshoe for half an hour or so as not to.hurry the visitors away. After luncheon Mr. Waterlow who is an ardent photographer took several views of the group. As they left for Nelson the visitors again expressed their pleasure at visiting- the Boundary. They would tell their brother journalists that they missed seeing the most interesting part of Canada. The visitors were given three cheers and Auld Lang Syne brought the brief but pleasant Boundary visit to a close. The party met at Nelson Thursday evening and from there they went through to Winnipeg. Mr. Curtis Was Here B. C.'s Cabinet Representative Visits Greenwood. They Are Gathering Information About Mining- Districts. Hon. Senator Templetnan the British representative in the Dominion cabinet and Aulay Morrison, M. P., for New Westminister district, arrived in Greenwood from Grand Forks by Monday's train and spent until Tuesday afternoon in visiting the various mines and smelters in the district. ' The tour was not a political one. Senator Temp- leman felt that it was his duty as a minister of the crown to make himself acquainted with the resources and requirements from a federal standpoint of the great mining interior. He visited the Boundary with Hon. Mr. Sifton previous to the election of 1900 but that visit was a hurried one and afforded no opportunity of' seeing the mines. He invited Mr. Morrison to accompany him on this trip and he as well as the Senator are simply discovering the best portion of the province which they represent so worthily at Ottawa. Is Coming* Back to Hold Public Meetings. Smith Curtis, M. P. P.. paid Greenwood and Phoenix a hurried visit this week. He was anxious to meet Senator Templeman in the Boundary so tnat he might be able to call the the Senator's attention to certain needs of this portion of his constituency. He joined the Senator and Mr. Morrison at Grand Forks and came through with them lo Greenwood, leaving with them for Rossland on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Curtis is just as aggressive as ever, but he hadn't time to talk provincial politics on this hurried visit. He is coming back however and will hold public meetings at Grand Forks, Greenwood and Phoenix. He will give an account of his stewardship during the trying sessions in the legislature. He was elected a supporter of Joseph Martin's and like Mr. Smith of East Kootenay he followed the stormy petrel as long as he could find passed the evening very quickly and him, "I regret I didn't give myself more time to make this trip" said Senator Templeman to a Times representative. "One could spend weeks in this great mining country of yours and still find new evidences of British Columbia's natural wealth. I would like to spend two weeks in the Boundary but Mr. Morrison and myself must return to the coast by the 15th. But I am coming again. I am going to enjoy a vacation in this district. I want to see more ot your big properties and drink in more of this glorious invigorating air you have on these hills. You have a great district. It makes a man take a greater pride in this province and makes him more eager to assist in every possible way its development from Ottawa and to make fresh efforts in assisting to disentangle the awful muddle into which provincial affairs have fallen." Monday afternoon the distinguished visitors were driven to the Mother Lode mine where they were joined by Frederic Keffer the general superintendent of the B. C. Copper company. Notwithstanding Senator Temple- man's 220 odd pounds avordipois and the fact that he is no longer as young as he used to be, he climbed the steep hill right to the summit and saw the numerous glory holes in that mountain of ore. He and Mr. Morrison were seeing a big Boundary mine for the first time and no amount of literature descriptive of the property could be equal to that personal inspection. Afterwards the Sunset mine and the smelter were visited. In the evening Senator Templeman and Mr. Morrison met several local liberals and discussed with them the requirements of the district. The meeting was an informal one but several matters of importance were discussed. J. R. Brown president of the Greenwood Liberal association occupied the chair. la a graceful way he expressed the gratification of local liberals at the appointment of Senator Templeman to the Dominion cabinet and cordially welcomed him and Mr, Morrison to the district. In the matter of requirements, it was pointed out that the revenue of the post office, customs and inland revenue, fully warranted the erection of a federal building in the city. Both visitors were urged to use their good offices in removing any obstruction to building of competitive railways in the district and the importance of sec- using a better mail service with the district west of Greenwood was pointed out. Hon. Senator Templeman expressed his pleasure at meeting the members of the liberal party in Greenwood. He was anxious to do everything in his power to assist in the development of this great country. He wished them to understand that he was not committing the Dominion government. He could not if he wished to do so. All he could do was to voice his opinions at executive meetings. He. believed that Federal buildings should be built in all cities and towns where the revenue justified such -an] expenditure. The revenue from the post office, customs and inland revenue at Greenwood was so large that it would be good business for the Dominion government to erect a substantial building here. The same was true at Grand Forks. In reference to railways he would frankly confess that he did not fully appreciate the sitaation until this visit. He had always been in favor of allowing the greatest possible freedom to those anxious to build railways in this country. . Anyone ready to build a railway anywhere should be encouraged not obstructed. If ; railways could not be secured without subsidies he was in favor of granting subsidies. He did not mean by this that every shyster and charter monger who goes down to Ottawa should be encouraged, but he realized that the very cheapest transportation was necessary in the development of these low grade The Great Northern or any wishing to come in here subsidy should be offered sible encouragement and structed. He also realized how necessary it was to assist in the opening up of new mining dis^ict^.,^Sir WilHam..Mulock,1 thr postmaster-general had done great work in his department and he felt that when his attention was called to the postal requirements of the promising district west, needed improvements would be mlade. In the absence of railways, the post office department could encourage easier means of communication in new districts and he would have great pleasure in calling Sir William Mulock's attention to the urgent need for a better service from Greenwood to Similkameen. His visit was not a political one. He represented them in the cabinet and in the Senate and it was his duty to make himself acquainted with the requirements of every portion of the province. He was glad to meet political friends and he oould assure them that any representations made to him not only by them but also by political opponents would have his careful attention. He was anxious to do something for British Columbia and was always ready to receive suggestions. Mr. Morrison comes from New Westminister where they have great fisheries and rich farms bnt in a neat speech he made it plain tnat he is no narrow sectional representative but is always ready to help the mining districts as well. He was particularly anxious to do something for Greenwood as he round here many old time coast friends. Smith Curtis, M. P. P. and several local liberals made brief addresses. Tuesday morning the patty left for Phoenix where W. Yolen Williams, Mayor Rumberger and Thos. Hardy showed them miles of underground workings, also the big glor3' holes from which thousands of tons a day are shipped. After luncheon the Snowshoe was visited and the mining situation discussed with Mr. Waterlow, Dr. Jones and Mr. McMillan. The visitors left on the afternoon train for Rossland. They intend visiting Nelson and the Slocan before returning to the coast, A Syndicate Acquires The Entire Property. properties, other line without a every pos- not ob- Duncan Mcintosh Takes Charge of The Property For New Owners. A deal was consumated this week under whbh William Fowler sells his entire interest in the Providence mine to those who recently acquired an interest in the property and some new associates. As was announced in the Times last week Duncan Mcintosh and W. M. Law recently visited Spokane with a view to interesting financial friends in the Providence. They were successful and this week Mr. Fowler relinquished his control and interest in the property. The deal was made �� on a basis of $50,000, Mr. Fowler re- t ceiving $12,500 cash and the other payments are to be made within a year. Duncan Mcintosh has been appointed manager for the new syndicate and he took charge of the Providence on Tuesday evening* He has two shifts at work and regular shipments of ore will be sent from the property. Recently a cheque of $6,367.51 was received from the Trail smelter being the net proceeds from 43^ tons of ore. It is now about nine months since Mr. Fowler, an old timer, returned to his first love, Providence camp. He - secured a lease and working bond on the Providence, a claim which since' the time of its location, he always be lieved would make a valuable mine. He worked along confident that his opinion was not in error. A sufficiently promising showing was made to induce W. M. Law, J. A. Russell, J. J. Caulfield and W. Macey to take an interest in the properly and the big cheque from the Trail smelter is the first proof that their investment was an exceptionally good one. Mr. Fowler did a large amount ot work preparatory to steady shipments. On the brow of the hill is a shaft down g5 feet and in ore. -One^hundred^feet"- lower down is another shaft 60 feet' deep and in ore. At a'distance of 155 feet from this second shaft a tunnel was begun into the hill. This tunnel will tap No. 2 shaft at 60 foot level and No. 1 at 100 feet. This tunnel is also in ore. The hill has been stripped from the collar of the first shaft to the mouth of the tunnel and the ledge exposed the entire distance. From this tunnel large quantities of ore can be shipped. , Values as high as $40,000 to the ton can be seenred at the Providence. In the No. 2 shaft particularly, ore of exceptionally high value can be found. The satisfactory smelter returns have not only been gratifying to the owners of the Providence but have also encouraged those leasing other high grade properties in the vicinity. Mr. Mcintosh the new superintendent of the Providence was one of the original owners in the Winnipeg mine. After the organization of the Winnipeg company he had charge of the property until he sold out his shares at a large figure. Since then he has been largely interested in Greenwood and is president, of the Russell-La w-Caul- field company. He is an experienced and successful mining man who with the large financial backing of the new syndicate is sure to have his usual good luck in exploiting the Providence.

P.,'to the* Boundary district is sure to do good. Senator Templeman is a member of the Dominion cabinet without a port folio it is true, but that defect will be remedied at a very early date. He is sure to be given an important department, probably that of Marine and Fisheries. Although he seldom visited the interior of this province, as a newspaper man, he has doue good service in making known its resources and endeavoring to get the province opened up. That he occupies the prominent position he does today is because of his good service for the people. Beginning life at the printer's case he has been in turn, printer, reporter, editor, managing editor, senator and cabinet minister. He never got out of touch with the people and today his newspaper is. as vigorous in the defence of the people's rights as it was when the senator did not hold so prominent a position. He is just the kind of man who will do things for British , Columbia and he is taking the best means of making himself acquainted with its requirements. The best friends ��� of British Columbia are those who know most about its magnificent resources. There is a splendid opportunity for a big man in- this province and we feel sure that within u reasonably short time, the province will feel the beneficent influence of Hon. Senator Templeman in the Dominion cabinet. Mr. Aulay Morrison is one of the rising young members of the Dominion parliament. He was lirst returned by New Westminister in 1890 and his big majority in 1900 was the best evidence that| his constituent appreciated his splendid services in the Dominion house. A clever speaker, a hard worker and popular with all classes, Mr. Morrison has a bright future before him. Other members should follow the example set by the distinguished visitors and make themselves thoroughly acquainted with this province. Its interests are so varied and resources so diversified that a personal visit alone can give one a proper conception of his duty in assisting towards making it what it ought to be the richest and most populous province in the Dominion. I I sentative newspaper men of Great Britain. The paper which they represent reaches every resident of Great Britain. There are millions of people in the mother country who are anxious to get into closer touch with this coun try either a settlers or investors. We need both. The chief weakness in this country is lack of population. Its greatness must necessarily depend upon the character of its people and no better settlers could be secured than the readers of the great- British newspapers. And we need capital to develop our great natural resources. It would be idle to suppose however that the British editors came out here to boost individuals properties and to rec- commend particular investments to their readers. The people of Canada have a duty to perforin particularly those of British Columbia. It is not sufficient to say "See what great mines we have. Pay us a big sum for them and we will let you develop them." The shortest way to get capital is to do something. The best friends of this country are those who are engaged in developing its resources." The best advertisement is riot a rich undeveloped claim but a working and producing mine. TheBritish editors saw nothing more convincing that the local smelters treating great quatities ore and local mines employing a large number of men and shipping large quantities of ore daily. Had there been no mines nor smelters Hierc would be no good reason why th<=y should come here. Work at home is needed as well as agitation abroad. The choice of newspaper men was happily made. The men who came here were those who came in no critical frame of mind but those ready to see the best in the colonies. They were men who realized that in order to strengthen the bands of empire there must be closer relation between ������he mother country and her colonies. They came, they saw and were conquered. They will have something to tell their readers thatis sure to redouned to the advantage of Canada. It is gratifying to know that from Halifax to Victoria they were received in the popular spirit. Every effort was made to make their tour pleasant. They were men who deserved good treatment and they got what they deserved. Strong criticism has been directed against some of the methods of the immigration department and the results in the shape of undesirable immigrants, but no fault has been found with the tour of British newspaper men and it is hoped that they are only the van guard of others who will come here and go back to tell their readers the truth about this country. So far as the mining district is concerned, the visit is sure to result in in good. British Columbia has enough [ sins to answer for without being shouldered with the mistakes of the British investors themselves. The British newspaper men will go home and tell, their readers that the Whit- taker Wrights and the wild catters are not a British Columbia product; that they are produced in London; that there is here a large field for legitimate investment and that by the exercise of business judgement and ordinary common sense returns will be safe and sure and as large as in any other country in the world. -0-CH>0<X>-00<>-->0-00<>0<^^ Established 1836.

Mr. Covert by the exercise of sound judgment and by industry and preservance has built up one of the best orchards in the province. His success as a fruit grower and the beauty of his place has made the Kettle River Valley famous. To a Times representative Mr. Covert stated that there was an abundant yield this year. This is particularly true of prunes. He will have 35 to 40 tons from eight acres, sufficient to more than supply the entire Boundary creek country. His prunes will not be on the market until early in October and in this connection he wished to state that housekeepers and others desiring prunes for drying, pickling or preserving would do well to wait for the home grown product. American prunes for a distant market are picked green and allowed to ripen in transit. They reach the markets earlier but the flavor is destroyed. Mr. Covert wishes to sell his locally and if people will exercise a little patience they can get better fruit at a much lower price. Mr. Covert will announce through the Times when his prunes are ready so that good housewives and others can get a full supply. MINERAL ACT ~ Certificate of Improvements. NOTICE.

Last week's article in reference to advertising was written in no censorious, spirit. No o,n.ev appreciates more than we do the difficulties which meet business men in* dull times and the necessity for economy in different way*. But^ail*} men in their own interests as well, as in the interests of the community in which they live have certain duties to perform. A young and growing town need people, No community can b*�� great or prosperous without a full complement of citizens. People cannot be induced to come here without some encouragement. The character and stability of a town is reflected by its local newspaper. That newspaper is as good as the support it receives. It is the medium through which the outside world is told the progress and the development of the city and district in whicn it is published. The amount expended on a newspaper is not a charitable contribution but a necessary expehditute just���as���it- is necessary to. pay taxes-in'- order-that the town may have good streets, good sidewalks and efficients-police and fire protection. In that sense a newspaper is a public not a private' enterprise, that should be. maintained .by the public and not by a private individual. Neither one man nor a set of men can be expected to run a newspaper from a purely patriotic spirit. -All that can be expected of him or .them is to publish as good a paper:as its patronage warrants It is therefore the public duty ot all business men to advertise in the local paper if nothing-.:more than a card stating the'-business they are in and where they may be found. This week three oT Greenwood's business men who heretofore were non-advertisersior intermittent advertisers have arranged to carry permanent advertisements in the Times. From a public as well as a selfish standpoint we wonld like to see the' good work goon, so that the Timas could be made a paper worthy of Greenwood and worthy-'o'f "the great future that is in store v.for this city*. The sage of New Denver has been discussing the. same Subject and he "*s*' sizes up the*, .matter. J^ the following words of .wisdom :.-. Generosity, begets -generosity.--.The- merchant -who istoo niggardly to support a newspaper with. live ads. has himseif to blame when the public give him frost.' A country and its people are known by the ads. in the local paper. When, times are dull and people are not advertising, is trfre very time that advertising should be the heaviest.��� John "VVanamaker. -' '���'��� '* Ninety-nine out of every hundred merchants advertise most when there is least; need of . it, .instead of looking upon advertising as the panacea for their business ills.--New England Editor.

Jacobs, the Boundary represent ative of the New York. Engineering- and Mining- Journal sent that paper some figures regarding the phenomenal output of the Greenwood smelter. William A. Heywood a Tennessee smelter man wrote claiming better results at his smelter. This elicited the following reply from Paul Johnson M. E. Sir: Allow me to add some explanatory information to supplemant the bare figures as to tonnage of the Boundary smelters given by Mr. E. Jacobs in the Engineering and Mining Journal of July 5, following which Mr. William Heywood, in your issue of July "\ 26, gave some figures as to tonnage and other information from the plant of the Tennessee Copper Company. When one talks about "pheuomenal furnace results" he should include more than the tonnage pure and simple, _^1.^^as,.this.idepends���,largely���,on -the si.se._of the furnace and the proportions of silica and iron in the slag made, for by increasing the furnace in length and putting as many slag spouts on the - side as may be required, one can put up a single furnace that will smelt say 2,000 tons of copper ores every 24 hours. Such a furnace I would make four times 180 inches long and 48 inches wide, aud would have five slag spouts on the long front side. In order to show the merits of one smelting plant over another one has to give more figures than those of bare tonnage; among others, cleanness of slag made and number of men employed per ton of charge smelted. In comparing work done as to tonnage of furnaces of different sizes to determine whether one furnace has douc more work than another, one figures out the daily tonnage per square foot ftftft��ft��ftftftftftft��ftft��������ncuj;ftftftft��njt 1 SCHOOL I * �� �� ���* �� �� ����� ����� and supplies can be procured at right prices at | 3.

The Tennessee Company's furnaces art* 56 by 180 inches at tuyeres, having thus a square area of 70square feet. The British Columbia Copper Company's furnaces are 42 by ISO inches at tuyeres, and have thus a square area of 43.7 square feet. The tonnage given for the British ColumbiacCopper Com*, pany's furnace at Greenwood doas not include slag, matte, or fine dust re- smelted, but only ore. I would ask Mr- Heywood whether in his charges he includes, besides the daily average of 33 tons of easily-melted slags, matte and fine dust re-smelted. Now take Mr, Heywood's daily average tonnage for ten months, which he gives at 495 tons of charge, and divide this by the number of square feet of his furnace at tuyeres, which is 70, and you get a tonnage of 7 tons per square foot furnace area in 24 hours. Take the daily average which Mr. Jacobs gives as 380.5 tons of ore with a furnace area of 43.6 square feet, and you get a tonnage of 8.7 tons per square foot furnace area, or 24.3 per cent more put through the square foot furnace area than that of the Tennessee Co.'s furnace. Now take the highest tonnage month of the Tennessee furnace, February, with 561 tons of charge daily; this gives 8.0 tbnsper square foot furnace area for 24 hourd. The highest tonnage months given by Mr. Jacobs for the Greenwood furnace is 428.6 tons for Janurry, which giyes 9.8 tons of ore per square foot furnace area, or 22.5 per cent more capacity per square foot furnace area than that of the Tennessee furnace. Again take the highest run for a single day of the Tennesee furnace, which is 657 tons of charge, and which --��iY*5��.__.r-L-���PBs^ area in 24 hours; then take the highest single day for the Greenwood furnace, which is 460 tons of ore, and which gives 10.5 tons per square foot furnace area for 24 hsurs, and here you have 11,7 per. cant more in the Greenwood furnace results than in that of the Tennessee furnace. Non-professional newspaper men always talk about the self-fluxing ores of the Boundary country, but these ores are only self-fluxing if you make them so by mixing the different varieties, and I will venture to say that if we had as much iron in our ores as the Tennessee Copper Company has in its, I could show up a still larger tonnage. With plenty of iron in the ore there is no trouble to get tonnage. Ouu daily slags have averaged for the last six months 39.8 per cent silica. 23.6 per cent iron, 19,6 per cent lime and 0.321 per cent copper. The daily mattes for the same period have averaged 50.1 per cent copper. The slags have not been made for copper by a colometric slop assay, but by carefnl determinations th -��������� t will check to 0.01 per cent in copper. The last month's slag have averaged 43 per cent Si02, 20.7 per cent Fe, andl6.1 per cent CaO, which is a much harder slag to run than a high irony slag, which runs itself. Some years ago it was considered good work in copper smelting to get only 0.1 per cent of copper in the slag for each 10 per cent of copper in the matte; thus if 20 per cent matte were made to have 0.2 per cent copper in the slag, 30 per cent matte, 0.3 per cent copper, 40 per cent matte 0.4 per cent copper, 50 per cent matte 0.5 per cent copper in the slag, and so on. As already mentioned, the average daily grade of the matte produced at the Greenwood smelter during the last six months has been 50.1 per cent copper, and the corresponding slags 0.221, which gives 0.064 per cent copper in the slag for every 10 per Cent copper in the matte. I would, in the interests of the profession, ask Mr. Heywood what the average grede. of his matte has been during the last several months, and what the corresponding average of his slags has been in copper, silica, iron and lime. For several months the daily tonnage of ore put through one furnace here has been 422.5 tons, and the total number of men employed, including besides those at blast furnace work proper, sample mill crew, engineers, firemen, blacksmith, mason, carpenters and foremen, has ben 47,which gives a daily average of 9 tons of ore handled to every man employed. It would be very interesting if Mr. Heywood would give the average number of tons of charge handled per every man employed at his plant. As for the blast employed, I use for each furnace a No. 7>_ Connersville blower, which give 80 cubic feet of air for each revolution, and averages 120 revolutions per minute, showing an average furnace pressure at the furnace of about 1.8 inch mercury or about 14.15 ounces. The 7l/i Connersville blower requires 45 horse-power to run at this blast pressure, and cost $1,600.00. At an average of 422 tons smelted per day, each ton of ore will thus require about 0.1 of one horse-power for blast. The total amount of flue dust produced is 1 per cent of the ore smelted. Now it is my opinion it is all right with a blowing engine for iron blast furnaces, or perhaps lead blast furnaces, when you want 3 pounds pressure or more for a high charge, but that is a waste of first cost in the price of the blowing machine, takes a higher cost in running, makes more flue dust, and it is unneeesary to have blowing machines for a copper furnace, especially when you make an irony slag relatively low in silica that will run fast anyhow. With others in the profession I would be indebted to Mr. Heywood ff he would state the first cost and what horsepower it takes to run the Tennessee Company's blowing engines, giving 20-40 ounces of blast, and how much flue dust he produces in percentage of the charge smelted. As to charging the furnaces by mechanical feeders in preference to feed? ing by hand���I have my own opinion on this question, gotten by actual experience in several places. If you have lots of iron in your charge, the stuff will dmelt as a rule any way yon dump it in, but if your ore varies consid-: erably aud is hard to smelt you generally get into trouble with mechanical feeders. Having good hand feeders who know their business, you can always make cleaner slags, put more through your furnaces, and keep them in better shape. I know of one case of hand feeding and mechanical feeding on the same kind of ores where the hand feeding saves in cleaner slags alone an average of 30 ceuts per ton of ore, which putting through 350 tons per day amounts to $105.00 per furnace per day. Besides, when the ore comes up in silica so-that-you-have.to run.46 to- 48 per cent of it on your furnace for some time, the mechanical feeder will cause thefurnade to freeze up, whereas with judicious hand feeding you can keep it going until you get less siliceous ore, so can get the furnace in good shape again. With the above suggested further information as to cleanness of slags, tonnage handled per man, and power required per ton smelted, besides a- mount.of flue dust produced, in addition to the daily tonnage per square foot furnace area, one can better compare the work done at the different smelting plants and decide which is the more or less phenomenal.

Title | Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-09-12 |
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. |
