4 "^WZ&LW&M Vol. 7. GREENWOOD, B. C. FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1903. No. 39 THE COURT OF ASSIZE Mr. Justice Irving Presides Over the Spring Sitting i GREAT NORTHERN James J. Hill Pays a Visit to the West Charge Against Charles A. Webster Was Dismissed The good people ~bf Greenwood and the Boundary district have a happy way of settling- their differences outside the sottrt room, consequently there was but little for his lordship, Mr. Justice Irving-, to do when he appeared at the Masonic hall on Wednesday morning last to preside over the sitting of the supreme court as a court of assize, nisi prius, oyer and terminer and general gaol delivery. The matters coming before his lordship for consideration -were adjudicated upon with quickness and despatch and by 11:30 the learned judge bid counsel good'tnorning and got ready for a trip to Clinton where he presides over the sitting of the court. Neither grand jury nor petit j.iry were required. The only criminal case was that of the crown vs. Charles A. Webster charged with' arson, the alleged offence ' being the burning of the cabin in which lived the late "Jolly Jack." The old'timers resented the. destruction of the property and initiated- - proceedings^" against *., Mr,- Webster. Although his lordship did not let the case go further than the first prosecuting witness, it is understood that Mr. Webster's defence would be that he was in possession of the ground and property under a pre- emptor's title and that he had a legal right to destroy the cabin. A. S. Black appeared for the prosecution and A M. Whiteside for the defence. The only witness heard was Mrs. Thornton, wlio told about Webster burning the building, aud also that she and her late husband had been in possession of same for nine years. His lordsi'ip stated that this was not a criminal case at all. If Mrs. ThorntonHas ahynrights~in~the_j5i'o should begin an action for damages and apply for an injunction to restrain any further burning. Before such an injunction could be granted she would have to show some title to the property. He asked that tne case be withdrawn, and at his request Mr. Black withdrew the charge. His lordship advised Mr. Webster to refrain from any further high-handed proceedings as he hud other ways open to get rid of objectionable tenants. Then A.- M. Whiteside appeared with numerous plans and maps and applied on behalf of the Dominion Copper company tc change, correct and extend certain plans of a certain : ' : ision of the town of Phoenix. Under ordinary circumstances it would be difficult to lay out streets and lots in a country where nature's forces succeeded in producing every'.hincr else except level land, but these difficulties were aggravated by a surveyor who was out in his astronomical bearings and mathematical calculations. Mr. Whiteside got along fairly well in making the necessary corrections. The registrar, however, put in an appearance through Johnston Prescott Myer-Gray, and asked that too much be not added to the original plan, and R. H. Karotofsky, through J. R. Brown, wanted his interests in a lot, wlfe.ch he agreed to purchase, protected. Tire learned judge allowed some, changes, refused others, and by and by the Dominion Copper company may sell lots according to a certain reformed map or plan. Fred M. Munn et. al., and J. A. Tuzo got into a dispute about certain mineral claims up the West Fork. Munn and his associates told their troubles to Hallett & Shaw, and Tuzo his to McLeod & Brown. These firms sparred in the preliminaries with the result that everything was practically settled excepting the question of costs. In chambers each tried to saddle the costs an the other. His lordship awarded the major portion of the costs to Munn, the registrar to pass upon the various items in the bills presented. From Curlew, Washinjrton, Northward and Westward When is the Great Northern going to build into the Boundary ? James J. Hill recently made a visit to the west. He saw Seattle, Spokane, the coal fields of the Crow's Nest, Republic and Grand Forks. He sent for Siems and Shields, the Great Northern contractors, and told them to do something. What that something is will be known in a few days. Mr. Hill was in unusually good humor on this western trip. He had recently been beaten in the United States courts, and his beautiful merger scheme was knocked into a cocked hat. No wonder that he was in good humor. Hill's has been a strenuous life and he enjoys hard knocks. He was even affable to the ubiquitous newspaper men and told them something about his plans. There was much he did not tell, but he stated definitely that the spur to the Granby smelter would be built at once and that the road would be continued to Okanagan and the Similkameen.. This .means that the road will be continued from "Curlew to Midway and Greenwood and from Midway, westward to Myer Creek, and further west following the survey made last year. Mr. Hill had nothing to say about the branch from Grand Forks to Phoenix. That is a somewhat sore point with Mr. Hill. It is stated on good authority that this branch was the cause of the rupture between the Great Northern president and his trusted chief engineer, John F. Stephens. Influences were at work to induce the Great Northern to build this branch, influences that were apparently stronger than the railway knowledge of John F. Stephens. Mr. Stephens never liked the project and was not slow in saying so. He stated that the natural obstructions to overcome were too numerous and too heavy and that the cost of building the road would be more than the 'business in sight warranted. Mr. Stephens thought connection should be made with Phoenix by the way of the Boundary creek valley and said so. The result was a quarrel and Mr. Stephens left the road, much to Mr. Hill's regret. He would not give in to Mr. Stephens then, but he is not building the Grand Forks Phoenix branch just yet. Mr. Hill also announced that the ,S. F. & N. road would be greatly improved. He expects to haul coke over his lines to the Boundary smelters and in order to do this as economically as possible the S. F. & N. must be placed in the same high state of efficiency that characterizes all other Great Northern lines. WILL MAKE ITS OWN COKE International Coal and Coke Company Organized. ! Will Mine Coal and Manufacture Coke Near Blairmore- The Granby company has decided that so far as they are concerned, the fuel question is going to be settled. Its management is getting somewhat tired of importuning the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company for more, coke at $6.75. The company has decided to go into the coke making- business. A A subsidiary company ' has been organized to develop coal measures in the vicinity of Blairmore." The company is called the International Coal and Coke company. It has been incorporated in Spokane with a capitalization of $3,000,000. It is said that the coal area is seven miles in length and there are nine veins on the property, four of which have been prospected. The aggregate width of these four seams is something over 60 feet. A. C. Flumerfelt, assistantant to President Miner, of the Granby company, is president of the new company, and H. N. Galer, assistant general manager ,of . the Granby company, is. : treas-ifreri*; The stock has ail been subscribed for by Granby stockholders, so that while it is separate and independent from the Granby company, it will be closely allied with it. The construction of 100 coke ovens will be commenced at once, and the output of tho mines will be sold to independent smelters and the railways in addition to the requirements of the Granby oompany. H. N. Galer, assistant general manager of the Granby company, who was in Greenwood on Saturday last confirmed the report and said the company already had a force of men developin g the property. ^"MrsTJackmaridiea Monday afternoon at her father's ranch, Anarchist mountain. She is the fourth to succumb to smallpox during the last four or five weeks near Chesaw She was quite a young woman and was married here last fall. Her father, Mr. Wisted, is a well known rancher living a few miles west of Rock Creek, on the British Columbia side of the line. So far as known this was the only case of smallpox brought across the line from Chesaw, the quarantine having been maintained as strictly as possible. Dr. A. G. Hopkins, who was recently appointed veterinary inspector for British Columbia by the dominion government, was in the city this week. Dr. Hopkins makes his headquarters at Vancouver. HE GOES TO ALASKA Paul Johnson Will Build Smelter The Smelter Man and Family Left Greenwood on Wednesday Paul Johnson with wife and family left Greenwood on Wednesday. Mrs. Johnson and the children will reside in one of the coast cities for some time until the smelter is established on Prince of Wales Island. Mr. Johnson came in from Chicago on Saturday night. While there he met B. D. Brown, a New York capitalist who, under the name of the Brown Alaska company, will develop a big mining and smelting- enterprise at Prinze of Wales Island, Alaska. As a result of the conference held at Chicago Mr. Johnson will next month proceed to the island there to erect a smelter, which it is intended to have ready for operation by the beginning of next year. It will be on somewhat similar lines to the one Mr. Johnson built at Greenwood for the B. C. Copper company, commencing- with a single furnace with a daily treatment capacity of between 400 and SOO tons and the works so planned as to admit of: other- furnaces being added as required until a maximum capacity of between 1,500 and 2,000 tons shall have been reached. Mr. Johnson will likely plan the smelter to be erected at Sandpoint, Idaho. On Monday night,' Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were the guests of a few of their intimate friends at a dinner at the Hotel Armstrong. Athletic Round-Up A meeting of the Greenwood Athletic Association was held Monday night. The chief business was the report of committees appointed at last meeting. The report of committee to draft a cqnstibatipn_aradjbylaws. was^ adopted, with a few changes. The committee on a weekly half holiday asked for more time to report. The committee on membership reported progress satisfactory. The committee to see about leasing and improving the athletie grounds reported that owing to one of the owners of the grounds being out of town, the C. P. R. being hard to approach, and the general mixup of the land they were unable to make much headway. The monthly fee of the association was fixed at four bits. The club colors are yellow, green aad cardinal. Mrs. J. B. McAllister and family have arrived from the east to take up their residence here. Mr. McAllister went over to Grand Forks to meet them.

I Has the Rich Stuff���Dandy Is a Dandy r The evolution of Greenwood from a low-grade to a hig-h-grade mining- camp has beeu remarkably rapid. It is still less than a year since the work of systematically developing- the Providence began. The showing on that property encouraged others. Today there are half a dozen high- grade properties shipping ore. But this ia not all. A few months ago telluride ore was found on the Lancashire fraction. It was telluride that gave values of $3000 to Ihe ton. The ledge was well filled with telluride and the operators of the E. P. U. mines were made correspondingly happy. Now, telluride is a very good thing- to have. It made Cripple Creek famous. It certainly would not be right that McVicar et. al. should have all the good things. Nature generally distributes with an impartial hand. During the last week telluride was found in the Gold Finch, owned by C. W. H. Sansom, the Dynamo, owned by Port man n Bros, and associates, and indications were found on the Barbara. It is not surprising that the character of ore in all these claims should be similar because they are all on the hill on the south side of Twin creek. The recent strike on the Dynamo places it among the prospective shippers of the high-grade camp. The persistent work of the five men who have the Barbara under bond is likely to be crowned with success, as during the week some promising showings were uncovered. Some three weeks ago W. E. Hodges and others bonded the Dandy mineral claim from Lafayette Spencer. The Dandy is on the hill over towards the Anaconda road. Mr. Wheeling, an experienced high-grademiner,wentto" work on the property. Two quar'z leads were uncovered and assays secured of over $30 to the ton. Alex Robinson and associates are working the Fremonte under a lease and bond. The Fremonte lies between the Strathmore and the Providence. But little work has been done on the property, but it is certainly in good company. It is owned by C. Scott Galloway. Mark F. Madden, of Madden Bros., Chicago, will arrive in Greenwood next week. The final payment on account of the Providence bond will be made on June 1st and Mr. Madden will be present on that occasion. The payment, $12,500, will be made out of the proceeds of Providence ore. Outside the first payment the Providence has met all payments on account of the bond���a record established by few high grade proporties. It is expected that in July a dividend will be paid. The Providence appears" to improve with development. It never looked better than it does today, and from the north drift, ore of exceptionally high values is being extracted. The E. P. U. shipped a carload of ore to the Trail smelter this week. The car contains 21 tons, and with the telluride in the ore it is expected to go well above the $100 mark.

STOCK JOBBING COMPANIES AND , OTHERS i With, some of the so-called .mining journals of the east the merits of a particular mining- property is often determined by the amount of advertising space paid for by the operators of the . property or by the extent to which the operating leg can be pulled. Since this, rather questionable principle, is often applied it is not surprising to find the appearance of highly colored articles extolling the virtues of some mine or, some company coincident with the appearance of a big advertisement of the said company in the same paper. If ���these hungry mining journals would rest content in the giving .of a quid pro quo to those whose , profitable patronage they enjoy, the general public could easily discern the motive and govern themselves accordingly, but .it-is time: to protest when attacks are made on legitimate mining enterprises evidently for no reason than some legs are not so easily pulled as others. There is a mining paper published in,; Bosto known- as -the Boston Mining Bureau. What information it does not extract from other papers is sometimes inaccurate and nearly always prejudiced. A few weeks ago it insinuated that the B. C. Copper company and the Montreal and Boston Copper company were nothing but stock jobbing propo-j sitions. The Boundary Creek Times does not profess to have as intimate a knowledge of what a stock jobbing proposition is as the Boston Mining Bureau. Possibly if our advertising columns were used by such companies as the Ollala and one or two others who appear to be , heartily welcomed by the Boston ���Mining Bureau, we would be in a much better position to accurately determine the status of any company eligible to be placed in the stock jobbing class. We think that companies owning valuable mines and fully equipped smelters are scarcely eligible. The B. C. Copper company has been doing business here for several years. Its payroll is about $20,000 a month. It has paid its bills and has continued working its mine and running its smelter. Up to date the company has shipped from the Mother Lode mine nearly 300,000 tons of ore. This has been treated at its own smelter, and in addition several thousand tons of custom ore. So far as the people of this district know there is no company and no stock. The money has been always forthcoming to meet its obligations and from those who are acquainted with the New York "and Boston markets no special efforts were made to dispose of stock in those, centres. If the Montreal and Boston Copper company is a stock jobbing proposition its management is proving its clainis in a most extraordinary way. If increasing the capacity of its smelter, if the further development of its mines, if earning increased profits from the largely increased treatment of custom ores���if all these coil- vict a company of being a stock jobbing proposition, then we do not know the meaning of the term. The Montreal and Boston Copper company by trebling the capacity of its smelting plant and by having more ore offering that can be treated by them, is in shape to make such profits during the year as will certainly insure the payment of dividends. ; The B. C. Copper company today is making large profits from the treatment of its ores. If these compah'ies can secure sufficient fuel for its furnaces (and it certainly was through no fault of theirs that they were unable to secure fuel in the past) they will be among the most solid and most profitable mining , and smelting companies of this continent. The trouble with these companies is that they are not stock jobbing propositions; if they were, the Boston Mining Bureau would have been the first to extol their virtues���for a~considerati6n.~ WHEN OUGHT WE) TO!��3 GO TO A DENTIST?;3 Many think it unnecessary j to devote particular attent- j tion to the teeth until the appearance of the mouth is affected by damaged, decayed or broken teeth. Others give the teeth no attention till pain compels them. The stupidity and shortsightedness of either policy is evident. Everyone who thinks a moment on the subject knows that food cannot be masticated satisfactorily if one or more teeth are tender, inflamed, decayed, or othervise out of working order; and if this be the case, the mouth requires immediate attention. ^iiiiiiiiiiiaiaiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiuaumiiaaiaiiaaiiiuiiiaiiiiii^ LINES, SPOONS, LEADERS.

THE BOUJN )AY CREEK TIMES Page 3 Leeds Mercury Tells About High Grade Mines Mr. Lumsden Does Good Work the Mother Land in The fame of Greenwood's high grade mines has extended to the mother land. The Leeds and Yorkshire Mercury, the most influential paper in England, outside of the big metropolitan dailies, sa}rs in a recent issue : Great progress has been made in the Boundary district of British Columbia during the six months which have elapsed since its monster low-grade copper mines were first - introduced to our readers. But interest has for the moment been transferred from the low-grade copper mountains at high-grade 429 tons, and the net proceeds from these shipments was upwards of $44,000. If the Providence were au isolated property��� a mere freak of nature���there would not be so much cause for enthusiasm; but the Providence is only the chief among a dozen high-grade mines that encircle Greenwood. Immediately adjoining the Providence is the Elkhorn, which is beginning- to run its neighbor a heat. Development began there at a later date; and, taking this fact into consideration, the Elkhorn today is just as promising as the Providence. Tavo Greenwood men bonded the Elkhorn two months ago. They sank a shaft S6 feet, and drifted on the ore 75 feet. The first carload of 21 tons shipped to the Trail smelter was expected to net $5000. The vein is about 16 inches wide, aud is declared to become richer and stronger the deeper it' goes. Other mines, including the Goldfinch, Margerie, and Dynamo, have just been opened out, and we'l-defined A'eius exposed carrying values from $100 to $500 per ton. The city of Greenwood is said to be booming. No wonder, with such mines opening out all round. Phoenix to certain properties in the immediate vicinity of Greenwood. The latter town is a point on the Columbia-Western branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and is in the ver}7- heart of the mining region of the Boundary. For years back miners have found rich pockets of gold ore on the hillsides around Greenwood, but it is only recently that effective measures have been taken to test the value of the small high-grade veins that were neglected so long- as people would look at nothing1 but big- bodies of copper ore. Now that serious exploration has beeu undertaken, great ex- citemeut has been produced by the discovery that these high-grade veins carry phenomenal gold values. The low-grade ore of the Granby company at Phoenix does not yield more than from $1.50 to $2 iu gold and silver to the ton, but the Greenwood veins have yielded samples which have astonished all the mining men of -the-Avest.��� Tlie-Boundary ^Creelc Times describes one sample from the Providence mine (immediately adjoining Greenwood), Avhich gave the folloAving assay: Gold, 2046.2 ounces; value, $40,')25; silver,. 1920.4 ounces; value, $960.20; total value, $41,8S4.20. Unfortunately, no mention is made of the size of this specimen, but it is stated that this is only one of several similarly rich samples which have been assayed. Our GreeuAvood contemporary makes the admission, : ' ..�� be expected in a country Avhere every man and boy is a mining- expert, that "all the Providence ore does not run that high, but the ore is rich enough and iu sufficient quantity to make the mine one of the most profitable in the Avorld today." The statement, says the editor, is not based on assay returns but on the actual proceeds of the ore sent to the smeller. For some time back the returns received from the Trail smelter for shipments sent there by the Providence netted the company over $150 to the ton, and as they continue the results are still more satisfactory. In the first Aveek of April returns were received from a shipment of 22 tons 270 pounds sent to the Trail smelter in March. The net proceeds, after freight aud treatment were deducted, amounted to $3410.87. Up to date the mine had shipped By the Avay, James Lumsden, one of the bright ueAvspaper men who visited Canada last year, is connected Avith the Leeds aud Yorkshire Mercury, aud he is doing good work in bringing the wonderful resources of this couu- try-to'the front.

Golden Greenwood Graphically Described Pledged Permanence of Greenwood Rests on These Greenwood's hig-h grade mines are attracting- attention in various parts of the world. Elsewhere excracts are g-iven from an old conn try paper, arid the article below was published in the Seattle Press-Times of Friday last. The Seattle Times' correspondent enthusiastically describes goldbh Greenwood as follows : Copper! Silver! Gold! Upon such a trinity of natural resources the pledged permanence of Greenwood rests. In the hills about the city are the greatest copper deposits of the continent. Here copper areas are measured by aores, copper deposits by hundreds and not by units of feet. The record for cheap mining ami smelting is, moreover, held today by the Boundary. Prodigal in quantity nature has likewise been prodigal in conditions. No iron ores need be hauled across long distances; no lime brought from afar for mixture with Boundary ores for smeltiug purposes: Nature has chemically mixed these ingredients in one deposit. All man must needs mix with the ores of any one camp is a proper proportion of fuel coke, and in less than an hour from the. lighting of the fires the molten metal is flowing. These vast mineral deposits demand vast capital for profitable raising and reduction to commercial fornix. And so for a time the prospector deserted these hills, content with his mere annual assessment. He must wait the advent of more and still more capital, for this was strictly a low-grade copper camp, he argued. But latterly things have changed. A few men schooled in rich gold and silver lodes of other camps, read aright the signs which nature had set up,- and began to explore the foothills reaching up from the valley to the mountains of copper ore beyond. In these foothills had remained unworked for many years the earlier locations of the pioneers. After one brief year half a score of rich leads are being exploited, and men are gratified and yet almost stunned by the returns that come from th-.; smelters-with- each-succeeding-shipment. Standing at the corner of Govern ment and Greenwood streets in tha business heart of Greenwood, and looking north a little over a mile along the principal street, one sees side by side just as the valley begins to swell into the first foothills three properties that it would seem aro destined to proclaim for the camp, from a silver and gold standpoint, what the Mother Lode and other large mines have from a copper standpoint. In the center of the valley lies the Elkhorn claim, while to the east is the Providence, and to the west the Gold Bug. Like skirmish lines of some great invading army of mineral wealth they reach clear across the little valley, joining foothill on the cast with foo'.- hilt on the west. All clay at intervals the play of their artillery may be heard, as if firing- on some invested city, while from the great quarries beyond the heavier cannonading in the copper quarries is heard, as if advancing in support of the advance guard. From all these properties rich ores have been and are being shipped. These ores are rich in both gold and silver. The Providence property is more advanced than either of these others, and its history since some local people took hold of it last autumn reads like a fairy tale. Shipments during- the last six months have netted over S150 to the ton. The last car netted an average of S243 per ton. And this at only a depth of 100 feet. Recently a peculiar quality of ore was encountered in one of the drifts, which assayed 841,880 to the ton The Elkhorn is shipping some very fine ore, and the Gold Bug already has a record for high returns. With systematic mining the Gold Bug will doubtless vindicate its aristocratic name. Turning eastward and looking- just beyond the city hall less than half a mile and men will be seen at work developing three properties, two of which, the Gold Finch and the E Pluribus Unum, are yielding very rich ores and improving with every shot From the latter some tellurides have been recently taken at a depth of sixty feet which ran over S3000 to the ton. Whether lured by the name or not I cannot say, but American capital is seeking this property. In the quarter of a circle lying between the two camps thus referred to several otner promising- claims are being opened up. Notable among these are the Defiance- and the Strathmore, both promising properties. On at least eleven of these high- grade properties, all within one and a half miles of the city hall, development work is now being carried on. The results of the work of less than one hundred men on their gold and silver properties has been to instill new hope and energy and life into the prospector. The warmth of the spring sun and the wealth of the green foothills unite to make him very comfortable and very confident. A new era has dawned for .the Boundary. A golden day greets Greenwood. ��8S3K3?SaSK3eE2KSBi i Hi li tw in FURNITURE rs CROCKERY CLASS \V ARE CUTLERY SILVERWARE BAR GOODS The largest hotels and finest residences in B.C. were furnished by us throughout VICTORIA, B.

From the stirring- openii g- chorus "We sail the Ocean Blue" until the curtain dropped at the close of the final act the performance passed, off without a hitch. A larger or more appreciative audience was never before assembled in this city. At times its enthusiasm knew uo bounds, principals and choruses alike receiving- hearty encores and recalls. There was no mistaking the verdict of the people of Grand Forks. Many who came prepared to show indulgence oroved to be the most wildly enthusiastic."

Unusual activity has taken possession of the Army's energetic members in anticipation of this y'l'cat event. The Army's bcncticieiit operations are maintained purely by the free-will offering's of the people. The needs of its vast missionary labors among the heathen abroad and the down-fallen at home are chiefly met through the agency of self-denial. Tlie Army is doing- splendid work in its industrial homes, rescue and maternity homes, men's and women's shelters, established in different centres in this country, while the world over, the Army has about 500 similar refitger. for the fa lieu and destitute. The enthusiasm which the Salvationists themselves enter into the self-denial week is remarkable, aud it would probably be hard to find a wearer of the uniform who has not in addition to pecuniary sacrifice, denied himself some luxury or partial necessity of food or clothing hy way of discipline.

Chambers of Commerce Visiting Delegates Will Reach Greenwood in September. As already been stated in the Boundary Creek Times, the fifth congress of the Chambers of Commerce of the Emprire will be held in Montreal between the 17th and 20th of August. Others years this convention was held in London, but it was decided to hold the meetings in Montreal this year in order to give the business men of Great Britain a favorable opportunity to study the resources of the most important colony in the empire. After the congress the delegates will tour through the countiy .ind will reach Greenwood about September 14th. Mr. Geo. Hud will, secretary of the Montreal Board of Trade, who is also secretary cf the committee appointed to look after the comforts of the visitors and arrange their itinerary has written the secretary of the Greenwood Board of Trade. He says in part: "As you are probably aware the Fifth Congress of the Chambers of Commerce of the Empire will be held in Montreal between the 17th aud 20th of August. From advices received to date it is probable that at least two hundred delegates from Great Britain and her colonies (apart from Canada) will be present at this gathering. The Canadian committee of arrangements has prepared a lis., of tours in order to enable the visitors to traverse Canada. Naturally they depend upon the local Board of Trade, at the points visited, for advice and assistance in rendering- the journey profitable and agreeable. "If present plans can be carried out the party, travelling in two sections of aboat fifty each, would reach Greenwood by special from Rossland. "Should your Board find it possible to extend any courtesies to the visitors during their short stay in Greenwood it would be highly appreciated." The local board and city council will co-operate in showing the visitors every courtesy in their power.

Greenwood were building a house on Kimberloy avenue for Mrs. McArthur. Mr. Kirkwood was ascending a ladder carrying sou: ��� heavy tools when the ladder slipped from under him. He fell backwards t<> the ground, and although the distance was only about ten fect.it was discovered tir.it his right arm was broken near the shoulder. It is likely tlie weight of a plane which he carried in his right hand added force to the fall. The brer.k is a bad one as it is up near the shoulder, making ii difficult to us-s splints. It is likil'y that Alderman Kirkwood will, be incapacitated for about six weeks. Poultry Pointers W. F.

Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1903-05-22 |
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. |
