Try it and be convinced. Womens? Goods. Men's Goods. Like a bolt from the blue came the announcement on Sunday morning- last of the resignation of Hon. R. F. Green, chief commissioner of lands and works in the Conservative-Socialist government of British Columbia. It w*?.s well known that this hybrid administration was in difficulty. Ever since \Attorney General \vilson resigned, about the 1st of Match last, it has been one cabinet minister short, and the nominal premier, McBride,was afraid to open a single constituency in the province to fill up his cabinet. Hawthornthwaite, the irresponsible Socialist leader, found so much difficulty during his summer tour of the province, in explairing his alliance with McBride, that he told the latter on his return he could no longer depend on his support Having these things in view, it is said the cabinet wss divided as to the advisability of having another session or dissolving the house. Messrs.-Green and Tatlow wished another session, evidently believing that Hawthomthwaite's threats \vere not to be taken seriously, as he was hopelessly committed to the government's course and policy during the last three years, and notwithstanding his lack of principle and consistency, would again support the government at critical times. A not inconsiderable element of the Conservative party has b?en clamoring for Mr. Green's dismissal for some time, but the premier had so ardently defended allthe shady deals and, gross mismanagement of the department of lands and works during VMr. Green's tenure^ of 'office, that it was generally believed the late chief commissioner was secure. However, the unexpected happened, and Mr. Green is now down and out. Immediately following the announcement of Mr. Green's resignation came the announcement of the dissolution of the legislature, nomination and election. Nomination is fixed for the 19th of January, and the elections for the 2nd of February. The premier realizes that his easy is a desperate one and he evidently hopes, by throwing .overboard^Mr^Greeji^he^can^steeE.his, battered and discredited ship to the haven of the Treasury Benches again. ��� But Mr. McBride cannot escape responsibility for the actions of his late minister by dismissing him at the last moment. A death-bed repentance will not satisfy the electors of British Columbia. It was through the general incompetence of the government and the particular bungling of Mr. Green that the Coal and Oil licenses granted in South- cast Kootenay were utterly valueless, although the government collected more ��120,000 therefor. Mr. McBride was well aware of this state of affairs; as it was lucidly and vigorously presented by the Liberal opposition in the house.. It was decided by the courts that the government had no authority to issue the license it purported to issue. As a result no title could be obtained, no capital interested, and consequently no development to any extent even attempted. Then the dtaling with Kitamaat lands will require -dome explanation. Certain individuals���favorites, of course���were allowed to acquire lands on Kitamaat Harbor, which were under reserve, and as to which these same favorites had not complied with I the provisions of tbe land act at all, "Mr. McBride was aware of the facts in | this case, because they were brought ! out under oath and Mr. McBride him- ^self admitted that some of the crown grants of Kitamaat lands obtained in this questionable way should be cancelled. But no one has heard of any cancellation, and no one who knew Mr. McBride or Mr. Green, expected any. The unsavory Kaien Island deal, which was put through in defiance of all law, and guarded and hedged with secrecy to enable Jimmy Anderson and others of Mr. Green's particular friends to secure coal lands and money and favors, while very poor provision was made for protecting the interests of British Columbia, was well known to Mr. McBride. He cannot now evade responsibility by making a scapegoat of Mr. Green. But Mr. Green is not the only member of his cabinet with an unsavory record. Mr. McBride's own record will not bear examination any better than Mr. Green's. When he took office he announced his intention of introducing the Party Line system of government. Yet we find during his very first sea- sion, he formed an alliance with an unscrupulous demagogue of a very low type, whose reputed principles were the very antithesis of the principles of Conservatism, wh'ch Mr. McBride was supposed to represent. He sacrificed, or, at least, compromised his Conservative principles for the sake of holding ofiice. The Conservative party had a..plat, form on which it appealed to, the electorate, prior to the elections of 1903. One plank was the reservation of coal areas inithe province. In spite of the object lessons which we have had as to the great danger of our industries being tied up, and of the people suffering for lack of fuel through trouble between employers and employees, uo coal areas have been reserved. Nn the contrary, hundieds of. thousands of acres of coal lands have been alienated to speculators. The platform advocated a liberal expenditure on roads and trails in order to exploit properly the resources of the provinces. Yet the Public Works were starved under the.Conservative-Socialist government as never before. The same platform advocated the repeal_of__ the two per cent tax on minerals. Both the Premier and the F:'nance Minister declared it was an infamous tax and should be removed. It remained as before. But why go further ? Nearly every plank has been broken and Mr. McBride a.�� leader is deserving of greater censure than any other person for this state of affairs a6 is responsible for, and should compel his party to observe its ant-election promises to at least a reasonable degree. The treatment of the Midway and Vernon by McBride and Finance Minister Tatlo\v will be dealt with later.

To begin with, both have failed to see the real cause of low percentage of attendance at the public school. Greenwood, it must be remembered, is a mining town, and has, in cousequence, a large floating population—people with no abiding city, driven hither and thither b}*- the "Wanderlust." Families settle in town, and. the children attend for a month or so. Then the spirit of unrest takes possession of them, and away they go to some other place. To show how these transient pupils lower the percentage, let me give a few statistics from the school register for the fall term. ' In Division I 35 pupils were enrolled, the. percentage of attendance being 81. Of these 8 were either arrivals or removals, who attended only 31 on an average out of 82. Had it not been for these the percentage of attendance would have been 94. In Division II4he attendance of the children of the permanent residents averaged 90 per cent, but 17 of the' transient variety, attending on an average 22 days each, reduced it to 72. Even 81 and 72 per cent are considerably above 52. From the above all will agree that the parents of Greenwood are not indifferent on the all important subject of the education of their children, and that the mild philippic of the Inspector does not apply to them.

To relieve a cough.or break up a cold in twenty-four hours, the following simple formula, the ingredients of which can be obtained of any good prescription druggist at small; cost, is all that will be required: Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure), one-half ounce; Glycer- int:, two ounces; good Whisky, a half pint. Shake well and take in teaspcon- ful doses every four hours. Thedesiied results cau not be obtained unless the ingredients are pbre. It is therefore better to purchase the ingredients separately and prepare the mixture yourself. Virgin Oil ot Pine (Pure) should be purchased in the original half ounce vials, which druggists buy for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden cas* which protects the Oil irotn exposure to light. Around th_e.wpoden,case^ per with the name—"Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure)"—plainly printed thereon.

La Grippe is no resp* tor of persons; it attacks the young and the old, the rich and the poor with the utmost impartiality. Except in the cases v here Pneumonia develops, La Grippe is seldom directly i.atal; the real danger lies in the after effects. Even when the patient has fairly well recovered from an attack (and it is very hard to tell just when he has fully recovered) the muscles are relaxed, the nerves unstrung, the heart and lungs weak, the throat and bronchial tubes irritable and tender and the whole system depressed, run-down and in no condition to resist the attack of any other disease to which it may be exposed. This condition is fraught with danger and demands instant and intelligent attention, the system must be built up and restored to a normal and healthy condition���advice easy to give, often very hard to follow. The appetite is liable to be poor and the digestion impaired so that it is almost impossible to consume and digest , sufficient ordinary food to do the work quickly and -effectively. What is required is a concentrated food, palatable, easy to digest and containing the elements necessary to repair' the waste which La Grippe has committed. Just such a food is found in PAY ORE COLUMN a scientifically prepared emulsion, of Cod Liver Oil, Iron and Phosphorus, palatable, digestible and effective. FERROL contains just what the run down system needs ���and all it requires. Cod Liver Oil to restore the lost flesh and make what is left firm and healthy, Iron to enrich the impoverished blood and restore elasticity and firmness to the relaxed muscles, Phosphorus to tone the nerve and brain as nothing else will. Two or three bottles of FERROL, .taken after the acute stage of La Grippe has passed, will do more to repair damages'"than can possibly be accomplished in any other way.. Try it and see.

Thomas states that the new giant Giroux hot blast furnace is partly set up, and with a couple of cars more of machinery, soon expected to arrive, it will be completed some time in December; or at least by the first of the new year the new furnace will be in commission, giving the works, with three furnaces, a total capacitj* of { from 1,200 to .1,400 tons of ore ][ per day, or between 40,000 and Mi 50,000 tous monthly.( At the H company's several mines work continues uninterruptedly, and Manager Drummond expects to have no trouble whatever in supplying- the increased tonnage required whenever the smelter is prepared to receive it. The Dynamo looks particularly good. For the present work has been suspended on the tunnel and surface work is being carried on. The ledge has been stripped for a long distance, said to be 300 feet.

Including cigars, cigarettes and tobacco, the importation* of luxuries during the fiscal year 1906 amounted to ���5125,000,000; ten year*, ago the grand total ��wm $51,000,000. Quite an increase, even for generous, luxury- loviujf Uncle Sam! Most remarkable was the upward ���jump of the importations of diamonds and other precious stones���in 1896 aggregating $7,944,032, and in 1906, $35,- 000,000. Cotton laces, embroideries and edgings rose steadily from $10,- 873.954 to $42,120,915; while the imports of silk laces and ribbons nearly doubled.

May 1907' be a bright, happy, prosperous' year to all our readers, and more, to all the residents of the town and district is our fervent wish. The old year lies a-dying. It has brought its cares and responsibilities, its griefs and joys, to all of us. The opportunity to have made more of it than we haye, has passed away. But just ahead a New Year dawns, its opportunities all before us, before us individuals, as fellow citizens. What the year shall be to one rests largely with himself. What it shall be to the community rests, too, with us. The New .Year is uo better than any other in which to put into action resolutions of good things, although it is often the starting point of virtuous spasms. Each day made a day of industry and patience and noble effort makes the year oue of such. That only is correct living which measures not the year, but the day, the hour, the present, and the present is, after all, the only vantage ground we have. For us, as a community, the year 1907 seems to contain much of promise. The industrial conditions were never before on so happy a basis for Greenwood. Fputidrtions solid and secure are laid. Mining is no longer an experiment in the Boundary. It has cost millions of money to prove our resources locally, but they have stood the analysis to which they have been submitted by cold-nosed science and return- seeking capital. Henceforth let us not say, "If mining shall pay," "if the town grows," "if" and "if" and "if," but rather let us plan and work on the assurance that mining does that the town has growing and must grow The wealth of silver and gold and copp^r^ll^abbutlasris-being made to minister to our welfare. Only a small part ��of it has yet been touched. The stream of prosperity that flows from the hills about will widen, deepen yearly, but our individual attitude to the problem of civic prosperity and the industry on which it is based affects the rate of flow. The most humble individual can help or hinder. We can each be a member of an unorganized "boosters' club," helping^ ourselves and others in ways little suspected, or if we prefer, we can each be a wet blanket thrown on the fires of hope, and courage to arrest, and it may be extinguished. Let us begin the New Year right by working to make our community the brightest, happiest and most prosperous in the land, for by that kind of effort well-sustained it can only thus become such. Will you, kind reader, join the Greenwood Booster Club for 1907? pay, and grown, is EDITORIAL NOTES The teacher whose business to watch for and criticise mistakes and defects needs to carefully watch himself lest he degenerate into a common scold. It is even so with the critic of a party in parliament. Observation of such suggests to us that already some of them have reached the level of the chronic scold. And now with the mining industry of the Boundary fairly and firmly on its: feet, the 1907 objective is the two million ton mark. President Roosevelt Recommends a Change in the Land Laws. In a message sent to congress recently, President Roosevelt takes an advanced stand on the matter of public lands. He says: ' "The developments of the past year emphasized with increasing force the need of vigorous and immediate action to recast the public land laws and adopt them lo the actual situation. The timber and stone act has demon strated conclusively that its effect is lo turn over the public-- timber lands to great corporations. It lias done enormous harm, it is no longer needed, and it should be repealed. "The desert land act results so frequently in fraud and comparatively seldom in making homes on the lands that it demands radical amendment. That provision which permits assignment before patent should be repealed and the entrymen should be required to live for not less than two years at home on the laud before patent issues. Otherwise the desert land law will continue to assist speculators and other large holders to get control of land and water on the public domain by indefensible means. "The commutation clause of the homestead act serves, in a majority of cases, to defeat tho purpose of the homestead act itself which is to facilitate settlement and create homes. In theory the commutation clause should assist the honest settler, and doubtless in some cases it does so. Far more often it supplies the means by which speculators and loan add mortgage companies secure possession of the land. Actual���not constructive���living at home on the land for three years should be required before commutation, unless it should appear wiser to repeal the commutation clause altogether. "These matters, are more fully discussed in the report of tlie land commission, to which I again call your attention. I am gravely concerned at the extremely-unsatisfactory condition of the present public land laws and at the prevalence of fraud under their present, provision? For much of this fraud the present laws are chiefly 're-- sponsible? There ' is biit one way by which the fraudlent acquisition of these lands can be definitely stopped, and therefore I have directed the' secretary of the interior to allow no' patents to be issued to public lands under any law until an examination of the g*rouiid shows actual compliance with that law. For this purpose an increase of special agents in the land office is urgently required ank unless given, bonafine would-be settles would be put to grave inconvenience or else the fraud will in large part go on. COAL LAND PUTS , PREMIUM ON FRAUD. "Further, the secretary of the interior should be enabled to employ enough mining experts to examine the validity of al mineral land claims and to undertake the supervision of the use of the mineral fuels still belonging to the United States. ''Tl*i-F~*preir<^ individual entry to 160 acres puts a premium on fraud by making it impossible to develop certain coal fields and yet comply with the law. It is a scandal to maintain laws which sound well, but which make fraud the key without which great natural resources must remain closed. "The law should give individuals and corporations under proper government regulation and control (the details of which I shall not at present discuss),_ the right to work bodies of coal land large enough for profitable development. "My own belief is that there should be provision for leasing coal, oil and gas rights under proper restrictions "If the additial force of special agents and mining experts I recommend is provided and well used the result will be not only to stop land frauds but prevent delay.-*, in patenting olaims and conserve the indispensable, fuel resources of the nation. "Nany of the existing laws affecting rights of way and privileges on public lands and reservations ar-: illogical and unfair. Some work injustice by granting value rights in perpetuity without return. Others tend to protect the grantee in hia possion of permanent impravement made at large expense. In fairness to the government, to the holders of rights and privileges on the public lands and to the people whom the latter serve, I urge the revision and enactment of these laws in one comprehensive act providing that the regulations and the charge now in force in many cases may be extended to all, to the end that unregulated or monopolistic control of great natural resources may not be acquired or misused for private ends."

On Wednesday morning the mercury suddenly dropped to the zero point, and has been hovering around there ever since. Andrew H anson, a former Greenwoodite, but now a prosperous rancher of the Myers Creek valley, was shaking hands with old friends in the city last Saturday. Unlike many of the coast cities, Greenwood did not suffer from a turkey famine during the holiday season, the E. Burns Co. having received at the eleventh hour a sufficient quantity to satisfy all demands. . The first hockey match of the season was played last night between Phoenix ^/M Greenwood teams. The game was well contested throughput, the score standing at call of- time 3 to 2, in favor of Greenwood. A musical entertainment under the auspices of Greenwood Con- cer-t-band^was^given^by^the^Pol-^ matier Sisters of Troy,; N. Y., at the Auditorium Thursday night. The attendance was very small. Those present enjoyed a rare musical treat. The B. C. Telephone Co. intend moving into their new office, back of P. W. George's store, on Sunday next. Owing to, delay in arrival of the* new switchboard from Chicago, the new metallic system will not be fully completed before the end of January. Mrs. W. H.

EVERYTHING IS NEW g-aged remodeling it into an up- to-date livery stable. Miss McQueen, who has been in charge of the C. P. R. telegraph office in this city for almost four years, left Wednesday afternoon for Kenora, Ont., where she will visit her sister for a couple of months. Her many friends in Greenwood wish her a very pleasant holiday, and look forward with pleasure to welcoming her once more into their midst. Many of our young people who have been pursuing their studies at different institutions of learning, are spending the holiday season at the family fireside. Among those who have returned are Misses McCreath, McMynn aud Shaw, of the Young Ladies' College, Yale; Mr. Floyd Hunter, of Moscow University, aud Mr. Harry Simmons, of the Presbyterian College, Calgary. The two men convicted before Magistrate McMynn for a defective knowledge of the ethical law regarding- "Mine and Thine" were taken over to Nelson Thursday afternoon by Chief McKenaie and handed over to the tender care of Warden Lemon, who will provide them with free lodging and board for two months. In return for this kindness they will probably be asked to spend some time each day on the stone heap. .*-*.,*,��� The Christmas tree and entertainment at the Presbyterian church on Friday evening, the 21st inst., was most successful, the church being filled to its fullest capacity. .The church was suitably decorated with evergreens, and the tree itself being loaded with presents, presented a fine appearance. An excellent program was provided by the children of the school, and all present enjoyed themselves very much. The Sunday School of the Methodist church held a very successful entertainment on Christmas night. The church was very tastefully decorated for the occasion. A unique feature of the decorations was a log cabin constructed out of paper. With its rough-looking logs, brick chimney and snow-covered roof it presented a very pretty sight and wjas_wel^^ the place of a Christmas tree, its interior and exterior being1 decorated with presents. Mr. Mac- knight took a flashlight of the decorations and the children grouped on a platform. Those who had the entertainment and decorations in charge are to be congratulated on the success which attended their efforts. Information has been received from the east to the effect that the officials of the Dominion Copper company at a. board meeting held a few days ago in New York, have decided to enlarge their smelter at Boundary Falls by the addition of three more furnaces. These will probably be installed and in operation before tbe end of 1907. The improvements will cost $150,000, and will be paid out of the earnings. When the furnace now under construction Christmas eve was oue of the red letter variety for the children at the Mother Lode mine. A Christmas tree aud entertainment were given in the company's dining room? Mr. Keffer presided, and Mr. Holman, being called ou for af few remarks, welcomed all preterit, aud extended to them the hospitality of the company. The children provided au excellent program, their singing being especially good. The entertainment over, Santa Claus duly appeared and began distributing the presents, which were both numerous and valuable. The distribution completed, all present sat down to a sumptuous Christmas dinner provided by the company. All departed feeling it was good to be there. Christmas day all tbe children at the mine and Deadwood were given a sleigh ride to Greeuwood, aud Avere kindly entertained at the home of Mr. aud Mrs. Keffer. Christmas day was well observed and thoroughly enjoyed by all the inhabitants of Greenwood. Many of the surroundiug mines were closed down, and work in some departments of the smelter was suspeuded for the day. One noticeable feature to the man on the street was the great number of strangers jvithin the gates and the good cheer evidenced on all sides. Ideal weather conditions prevailed. The day was spent iu various ways, many taking advantage of the line weather and good sleig-hing went driving. Large numbers attended the skating rink, where the ice was in excellent condition. Some enthusiastic httrlers of the stanes collected a few kindred spirits and repaired to the Curling rink. In the afternoon the city band, of which we are justly proud, turned out with their new instruments and eutertaiued the- citizens with many choice selections. Excellent order prevailed on the streets during the day, and Chief McKenzie's duties were not onerous. A few individuals, becoming rather hilarious from, imbibing too1 freely from the cup' that cheers, were given free lodgings for awhile. When these had come to themselves they were allowed to go without being called to contribute anything'to the city exchequer. BETTER CLASS TAILORING Has Conquered the Prejudice Which Custom Generates.

This fact, no doubt, largely accounts for the many beaming countenances. A meeting of the city council was held Thursday night. All members were present, Acting Mayor Bunting i^^the chair. Among the items'"' of business transacted was the granting of the Greenwood City Waterworks company a further period of three months from January 2, 1907, for the completion of their plant at Boundary Falls. pleted, the smelter will then have six furnaces capable of treating 3,400 tons of ore daily. Electricity has recently supplanted steam as motive power at the smelter, and iu the course of a month or so will also be employed in the company's mine. This change will effect a saving of about $100,000 per year. r FINE ASSORTMENT OF FANCYGOODS Genuine Ebony Toilet Sets Silver mountings from $6.00 to $35.00 Military Brushes, Manicure Sets, Brush and Gomb Sets, Jewell Boxes, Mirrors, Sissors Sets.

Has Bonded Copper Property in the Similkameen- (From the Similkameen Star ) E. J?. "Voig-t returned from Vancouver on Sunday, after an absence of several weeks, and he brings back with him g-ood news to the people of: Princeton. He has 'bonded group No. 14, comprising three claims and a fraction, situated on Copper mountain, to the Dominion Copper Co., a corporation of sound financial standing and at present operating iu the Phoenix, Deadwood, "Wellington, and Summit camps. James Liudsey made a report on the group 14' a few mouths ago and it was upon his recommendation ��� that the deal was made. Representatives of the Dominion Copper Go. are expected to arrive in Prince ton at once when arrang- ments will be made to start development work immediately and a force of men will be put to work. If this, property turns out as good as expected, it will mean more to Princeton than may seem at first sight. What has been lacking in the past has been the lack of money and enterprise to take hold and show the value of the copper deposits in this section. Once this is done, any amount of money will be found ready and willing to come in and take a"chance. Mr. Voigt has stayed with Gopper mountain for a good many years, at no small expense, never wavering in his belief that she would come to her own, and it is to be hoped that success has at last crowned his labors, a.- MIDWAY NOTES.

Foreman Wilms- hurst got his men to work Sunday in order that it might be made available for heavy traffic as soon as possible after the last car of lumber arrived��� which, by the way, was lost for over a week between here and Danville. However, the bridge is now completed with the exception of the side rails and few other odd* and ends that do not interfere with its regular use, and we are glad to say, that annoying as the delay has been, we have at least got a good bridge. It is perfectly rigid under the strain of heavy traffic, and is a credit to those engaged in its construction. STEVENSON COURTNEY Last Saturday evening, ��i the home of Mrs. A. J. Broomfield.

It is a purely chemical process. The tin deposits of Mexico are again attracting notice and some considerable amount of American capital has been subscribed to exploit these resources. The existence of tin in Mexico has been known since th; days of the early Spaniard, but thus far all attempts to exploit the deposits on a commercial scale haye been unsuccessful, chiefly for the reason that the rich ore which was amenable to the crude treatmeut practiced, was found only in limited quantity. There has been a continued s-nall annual production of tin, mostly gathered from the stream deposits by natives. Some ten years ago an American company took up some tin land in Durango, but nothing has come of it, and until very recently the deposits have been looked upon as somewhat of a myth. However, in the light of better modern practice in mining and metallurgy, some of the recent explorations have given fair promise of profitable operation. It is hoped that the present investigations will be continued by men of skill, experience and sufficient capital to definitely prove the value of the deposits.

COPPER PROSPECTS Present high prices, the result of a greatly increased coi sumption and a slowly rising production which, by the way, is less than Had been estimated earlier in the yea**, indicate that copper mining dividends will be larger than heretofore. Many mines that were opened while the copper boom was on a few years ago are rapidly reaching* the dividend-paying" stage," and the older properties by more economical ���working are able to squeeze out an extra dividend occasionally. It requires greater managerial talent to meet*the exigencies of a low grade copper mine, notwithstanding the current high prices, to guarantee an equitable return on the capital invested. To say that nearly one half of the market price of copper today is profit is nonsense, and as a rule it sound like the twaddle of an inexperienced person j one, for instance, whose livelihood depends upon the flotation of mining 'stocks^"bn"glittering" generalities. Some of the better paying of the larger working mines cannot honesily boast of producing copper at less than 11 or 12 cents per pound, a,ncl not afew must pay 13 cents and more In remote cases, however | it may be pussiflle to grid an exceptionally well managed mine that can produce copper at 10 cents or a fraction less per pound, but speaking generally the cost is nearer 12 cents.

This, coupled with more expensive supplies, has made it necessary to raise the charges for-producing copper. It should also be remembered that as the output increases and the ore deposit which may have been worked for years, gradually becomes exhausted, new explorations must be made or more hnd purchased, which, of course, means additional costs on the copper output. Even so great a mine as the Calumet & Hecla, which has already paid dividends of nearly SIOO.O-jO.OOO, and has sufficient copper bearing- rock in its old property to continue the sharing of profits for some time to come, has found it expedient to increase its land holdings by new purchases. It is a fact not to disputed that the life of even a'copper mine ia limited. At a time like the present all copper mining operations are at top speed, the desire being to reap the harvest of high market prices. The probability is that production in 1906 will show a. fairly large increase over 1-90S, when the total of 402.637 Ions (57.4 per cent of the world's production) was about. 11 per cent greater than 1904. The statistican .of The Mining World calculotes that the 1906 output will be not far from 446,()00tons. the high record. Consumption, however, shows a longer stride; last year it was 268,500 tons, or 20.5 per cent more than 1904, and in 1906 will probably total about 325,000 tons, the record. An increasing proportion of the, domestic consumption is being supplied by imports "from Mexico and Canada. Exports this year show a marked falling off, but when the extraordinary demand from China in 1905 is wiped off the ledger, the total shipments in 1906 look more favorable. In fact, some of the more important European countries show' an increased consumption this year. Copper prices average about 5 cents per pound better, than 1905, and in the 11th month of 1906 fluctuated between 22 and 22^ cents per pound for Lake copper, f, o. b. New York, 21^ and 22.30 cents for electrolytic, 21X and 21^ cents for casting; while standard copper,sold at London at ,��97 to ^101 18s 9d per ton (21.05 to 22.11 cents per pound.)���Mining World.

In Btitish Columbia the miner settles the title to a claim when he. drives his stakes. In Ontario the lawyers settle a title to, a claim when they get the patent out of the government at the Queen's Park, and even the patent is not always final. In British Columbia the miner applies for his certificate of improvement or his Crown grant. His application is advertised. If objection is raised the courts at once determine the validity of every assault upon the claim-holder's title. In Ontario the title to a mining claim i* a question of fact and poliey to be determined by the government In British Columbia the title toa mining claim is a question of fact and.law determined by the courts.��� Grand Forks Sun. *��� ^ERNEST J.

For the past few years the people of the United States have been' busy discovering Canada, discovering its lands, its lawa, its climate,.its prospects, and _ihe result: of that"discovery"fias^ been that hundreds of thousands ha.ve located in our northwest. What our brothers in Britain have been slow to realize,.our cousins south of the line have been swift to comprehend? They see what the country possesses, they realize w;hat itB future must be. And so they came by the car load, by the train load, and they hare introduced into the northwest numbers, industry, intelligence, capital. They assimilate with the Canadian, they like his laws, they like his privileges, they like his opportunities. The language is the same, the flags are colored alike, traditions are one, habits are similar, laws are even better. Then.why not come? Why not get a foothold here while opportunity becons? . They have sent their spies into tbe country and they have returned to them bearing grapes. Last summer a party of newspaper men toured the country and the following extracts from their home papers on their return show what they thought of Canada. For 27 days these dozen of trained newspaper men observed, and already a couple hundred columns of corre spondence has appeared, and to read it makes the Canadian proud of his heritage, even as it makes the man down in the states anxious to share it.

About 200,000,000 acres in this region are fit for cultivation md nearly all of it will produce the best wheat in the world. If one-quarter of these acres are eventually sown to wheat, there will be bread enough to cover England's deficiency four times over and an overflow sufficient lo heap upthehungiy lands of the continent of Europe. Edward G. Lowry, New York Evening Post���We have been up and down the Canadian West, and, seeing, have understood how these provinces have ���tvoraged twenty-three bushels of I wheat to the acre. It is a fat country, readily yielding its riches. The-grain stands as high as a man's shoulder, with heavy, full heads. Along one road leading but from Regina it is possible to ride forty miles in a direct line t.irough unbroken fields of standing .-.rain.

Americans have come here in great'numbers. Most of them have succeeded. Many control an entire section, 640 acres. Practically no farm in the provinces is less than 160 acres.

The crops this year are larger than ever before. The wheat fields in the three wheat, provinces of Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan have yield ed from twenty-one to forty bushels to the acre. Oats have run from ninety to one hundred and twenty bushels. Other cereal crops are large in the same proportion and the people up there are happy.

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. |
