Senator Warner Miller, president of the Dominion Copper Company, and a party of officials and other mining- men interested in the company returned homeward on Wednesday after spending a week in the Boundaty The party included M. M. Johnson, consulting eng-ineer of the company; A. M. "Wickwire a director of the company and a member of the famous Untermeyer law firm; S. W. Raylor of the Raylor Engineering company, New York; H. H. Melville a Boston lawyer and D. E. Woodbridge one of the U. S. Steel corporations mining experts, whose headquarters are at Duluth, Minn. The party tinder the guidance of Manager Drummond and Superintendent Thomas spent a busy week expert- ing the mines and the smelter. They spent considerable time at the mines in Phoenix. All seemed perfectly satisfied with the outlook. <l*^/'V'W,'W'',wrfW/W/W' r-v\r**\rf\*sS\*ttlt The Crescent mine under its new management is being systematical^' developed. A force of eight men being now employed on the property. The shaft is being sunk from the 130 foot to the 200 foot level. As depth is attained the vein is widening and ,as- says run from $80 to $127 to the ton. As was announced -las', week in the Times no drifting or stoping will be done until the seven drill compressor is installed. This should be on the ground within 60 days. Col. L. T. Dickason the owner of the property who left for Chicago last is well satisfied with tho outlook and the progress being made in development. He believes he has a mine second to none in the high grade belt. For the judicious investment of capital he believes no field offers better inducements than the Boundary. Geo! A. McLeod of Grand ForkB was a visitor to Greenwood this week. Mr. ; McLeod. is one of the pioneers of the North Fork country. He was largely interested in the McKinley mine and ��tilTha5r<Fxtensive^^ ing interests in that new and promis-1 ing district.

One of the newest and lichest strikes in the high grade belt has been made on the Anaconda, a claim owned and worked by fas. McCreath of the Green- weed Liquor company, and Charles Johnson. This claim was located only a short time ago. A shaft has been sunk a distance of 18 feet and some surface work has been done. A lead about four feet wide carrying gold arid silver values has been uncovered. Sonie samples heavily impregnated with free gold have beeu taken from the vein. It is one of the best showings in the camp. There are also good showing-s on the Sunnyside and Rattler in the vicinity of the Anaconda. Fred Mueller local manager for the Chicago & B. C. Mining Co., has five men at work on the Crescent Fraction. In straightening out the old working shaft last week a 20 inch vein of high grade ore was uncovered carrying high values in silver, zinc and lead. An ordinaly sample running $101 and a selected sample $368. Work will shortly be started on the Don Pedro. A very rich strike has been made on the Prince Henry at the 170 foot level. Drifting is now being done on a rich vein of antimoniai silver from 6 to 10 inches in width. It is expected that a quantity of high grade ore will be taken from this vein. The Eureka, one of the promising- mines of the high grade belt0is showing up well with present development. A winze which is being sunk about 30 feet fiom the mouth of No. 2 tunnel is in ore carrying high values. DEATH OF LITTLE DAUGHTER Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Taylor of this city are mourning the loss of their little daughter, Mary Eleanor, aged two years and seven months. The hild who, became seriously ill last' ���week and was taken to the hospital on Tuesday morning but the dread malady which afflicts children of tender age at this season of the year had too firm a grip and the little tot passed away on Tuesday afternoon.

Railway Notes���The Nicola Road Nearly Completed. Summer Diarrhoea in Children- During: the hot weather of the summer months the first unnatural looseness of a child's bowels should have immediate attention, so as to check the disease before it becomes serious. AU that is necessary is a few doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy followed by a dose of castor oil to cleanse the system. Rev. M. O. Stockland, pastor of the First M. E. church, Little Falls, Minn., writes: "We have used Chamber Iain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for several years and find it a very valuable remedy, especially for summer disorders in children." Sold by all druggists. Hope mountains are proving an almost insurmountable barrier to the construction of the short line to the coast. It is a comparatively easy matter to reach the summit from this side but the difficulty is to get down on the Fraser river side. Great Northern engineers have succeeded \��y providing- for a 6800 foot tunnel in securing a 1%A per cent grade, but this is not consider-; ed satisfactory and another party is being sent in there this summer to secure - if possible a reduction of this grade. " J Extensive forest'fires, which extend from near Cascade to a point close to the Columbia & Western railway, are destroying large areas of forests. The fires started apparently two or three days ago, and have spread with amazing rapidity. Sunday shortly after the noon hour the flames came in close to Farron, a -station on the Columbia & Western about 24 miles from Cascade. The employees of the railway turned put and fought the fire, but dispite their strongest and most energetic efforts it soon had all the buildings at' the siation ablaze, and in a short time they, were burned to the ground. These include the railway station, around-' house, a boarding house, water tank a'nd some smaller structures. ���- The fire, jafter it* Had burned down the Farron structures, passed on in the direction of the Bulldog tunnel, ' There are a number of high and long trestles in that vicinity, and they Were threatened with distruction; The' 'burning of any one of these trestles !would interrupt traffic for a considerable period. \ Superintendent J. S, Lawrence, of 'the Kootenay division, has ordered 'every available man on the road be- 't'ween Robson arid Cascade to the scene of danger, with instructions to work night and day, if necessary, to save the trestles and prevent a further ^spread of the fires. The sight is said to be a magnificent one, as the forests' are ablaze for miles around Farron, and they continue to spread rapidly o win glo~th^dr^c^1ditiOT~"of "ther tim^��� ber. Construction of the last seven or eight miles of railway from the Forks to Nicola is going ahead slowly but1 surely, and every ^effort is being made' to gather togather gang's of men to pu on the work. The end of the present work will be at the cut being made at the dam at Nicola river, opposite the telephone office. The line will follow the hill behind P. Marquart's house and past Jas; - Pooley's through Tamerton ranch on the foothill, and down through Law- . son's, Garcia's and Vog-ht's ranches. Notwithstanding the scarcity of labor, the contractors hope to have trains running over a portion of tne,, road in a few weeks time, and as stated in an interview recently with Supt. Marpole that the road would be taken over on the 1st of October, will no doubt be accomplished. Ballasting on the line already cotn- pletec is going ahead steadily with good satisfaction.���Nicola Herald. Stomach Troubles and Constipation. No one can reasonably hope for good digestion when the bowels are constipated. Mr. Chas.

It is a convention called by the Canadian Forestry Association for the purpose of discussing matters connected with the preservation and proportion of the forests. A very successful convention was held in Ottawa last winter and it was then decided to hold the next in Vancouver in order that the eastern people interested in forestry might have an opportunity of studying- conditions in this pro- Tioce. His excellency the governor- general has interested himself in the work of the Canadian Forestry Association and has graciously promised to come to Vancouver to open the convention and take part in its deliberations. Sir Wilfred Laurier has also promised to be present if at all possible. His Honor Lieutenant- governor Dunsmuir is encouraging the convention in every possible way. He has issued a circular letter urging those who are interested in Forestry to attend. The invitation extends to all classes interested in the work of preserving our forests and proprogating the same. John Hendry, president of the B. C. Mills Timber and Trading company, who is oue of the vice- presidents of the Canadian Forestry Association is interesting himself in the convention and is using every possible effort to make it a success. In this laudable work he should have the cooperation of all British Columbians. AN OBJECT LESSON A few years ago there were no fish in Boundary Creek; today there are some game trout in the stream unless the hog fishermen have caught them all. A few years ago no one thought of spending Sunday or any other day of rest up Boundary Creek; last Sunday there were families enjoying their day of rest close to the stream and fishermen could be found at different points between the city and Fritz Haus- sner's ranch. Because a few fish were planted in Boundary Creek a few years ago, tjie livery stables hired several * teams they would not otherwise have hired, the stationers sold fishing tackle they would not otherwise have sold and the grocer sold some delicacies that would otherwise have remained ou his shelves; pos3ibly the brewer might have profited by reason of the fact that there are fish in Boundary Creek. The moral which is pointed is not hard to see. The doing of a little thiug a few yean ago brings hundreds of dollars to the business men of Greenwood*today and provides healthy recreation for a great many people. The little things count after all and the citizens who look after the little things are often the best citizens. BENEFITS OF COMPETITION Notwithstanding the many doubting Thomases there is often railway competition. This is illustrated at Rossland today. By the clever manipulation of W. H. Aldridge, the superintendent of the Canadian Pacific railway's smelter at Trail a contract was entered into with the Leo Roi company under which Le Roi ore is being treated at Trail instead of Northport. This left the Great Northern railway without any ore to haul from Rossland camp. The Great Northern people wanted tonnage, so they went to work bonded a number of properties which have been idle for a number of years and are preparing to ship sufficient ore to keep the Northport smelter run ning. The result of this little railway fight is ��� that more mines will be worked iu Rossland, more men will be employed and business conditions will be greatly improved. THE HUB Greeuwood is today the greatest stage town in British Columbia. No other town in the province can boast -of as many stage lines. No less than seven stage lines make Greenwood their headquarters and furnish the travelling public with this rather primitive means of conveyance. Three stages run daily between Greenwood and Midway connecting with the Great Northern trains. A daily stage runs between Greenwood and Phoenix, another makes several trips to and from the Mother Lode, another several trips daily to and from Boundary Falls, while still another makes the run to Beaverdell. In addition to these stage lines close connections are made with stages to Similkameen and Sidley at Midway. All these stages are business bringers and the present business prosperity of the city is in a measure due to the fact that so many stage lines bring centers of population into direct touch with the "hub" of the Bouudary. creased area under seed would bring the total yield up to and probably a little beyond last year's figures. Now, however, we have news of a reassuring nature and a considerable increase over 190S is perhaps in order. "As the newly constituted provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan spending- much money? I do not thinlc so. In fact they have little to spend. They are however, building sonic bridges and will also have to have legislative buildings at Regina and Edmonton." Mr. Walker declared that the press of Canada should realize how much greater are the resources of B. C. than the provinces of the plains. The Pacific province, he said, is an empire in itself and to develop its resources, a great d-fcal of money has to be spent. "Legislators," continued the general manager, "should not be parsimonious when money is required inB. C, which will become the revenue producing pro vince par excellence of the Dominion." A PASTORAL That Mr. .Ross, M. P., has achieved a reputalion for political trickery, unreliability, shifting evasiveness and other things that aire not to be accouuted for by his early training and environment The only possible explanation of Mr. Ross' vagaries is that so far as politics is concerned he was born crooked.���Nelson Canadian. Wm. Fowler, the father of high grade mining in the Boundary is expected here shortly from his home in Scotland. Mr. Fowler still hankers after the yellow metal and he finds it difficult to live the quiet life after nearly half a century of prospecting. He may go north after reaching here as he is anxious to examine some mineral deposits discoverd by him many years before another transcontinental railway was thought of. DUE RECOGNITION A Montreal dispatch tells of an interview given by Byron E. Walker, general manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce in which he gives expression to the following timely recognition of British Columbia's magnificent resources. He was asked : "What are your banks' news from the western crop belt? "For a week or two. we had news ot rust and '���other discouraging features, consequently we supposed that, while the yield would fall off per acre, the i n- J. A. Macdonald, Liberal leader in the local house, intends visiting Cariboo, Lillooet, Similkameen and other constituencies this fall. WALKEM-CUTHBERTSON Rock Creek was the scene of a very picturesque marriage on Wednesday morning last when two prominent residents of Vancouver were joined in wedlock in a canvas tent away from the frills and furbelows and formalities of high society. Mrs. Iyilo Cuth- bertson of Vancouver was visiting Major and Mrs. Pilsworth in their camp; Major Pilsworth having charge of the irrigation engineers staff. Hugh Walkem a prominent Vancouver business man and a brother of Judge Walkem's soon followed and aiTthey had been engaged for some time and desirous of getting married, they decided that a tent in the beautiful valley of Kettle river was much preferable to a mansion in Vancouver. So Rev. J. L��eech Porier of Greenwood was sent for and the marriage took place in Major Pilsworth tent. A weddiug breakfast lacking none of the delicacies of city life was served and the happy couple was toasted in sparkling chau- pagne. Mr. aud Mrs. Walkem left the sameafteruoou to spend a two week's honeymoon at Banff aud other mountain points. AUDITORIUM - GREENWOOD Thur.

The lease is to run for two years, or until 125,000 tons of ore have been shipped, with a royalty on theuoutput, at the eml of which period, if the leasing company wishes to purchase the niine, a price will be agreed on, if possible.

Mr. Waterlow is not in .ictive busi ness life, but is a member of the board of directors of Waterlow & Sons, Ltd., one of the largest manufacturing- printing establishments in the world, and employing from 7,000 to 10,000 people in the various branches and departments.���Pioneer. BOUNDARY MAN WINS For the second time John B. Henderson of Grand Forks has won iii'his suit against the Canadian Timber. Company for 5375 or three months' salary as its manager, for failure to give him notice of dismissal. He managed one its mills in Kootenay. The trial judge decided in his favor that under the terms of his agreement with the company he was entitled to notice, and now the Full Court agrees, both Mr. Justice Irving and Mr. Justice Morrison giving written decisions. ' "It seems extraordinary," says Mr. Justice Irving, ''that there should be any difficulty in an everyday case of this kind, but a multitude and diversity of decisions make it a most embarrassing- one lo deal with. The earlier cases proceed on the assumption that if a master hired a servant without mentioning the time, that was a general hiring, and therefore a hiring for a year.

It will be recalled that it was only last week Herbert Carmichael, provincial assayer, reported that he had found curing a 600-mile trip along the coast in a launch magnitite in large quan- tites, also great masses of marble rising in abrupt Cliffs from the deep water one deposit Leing. bigger than the provincial parliament buildings. C0NDEMING FRUIT Large quantities of California fruit are daily being condemned by Provincial Fruit Inspector Cunningham, says an exchange. "It would seem," he said, "that a veritable avalanche of pests and diseases must affect the district this year. It is far worse than I ever knew it to be since ni}' connection with the department. It is possible that owing to the scarcity and consequent high price of the fruit this year strenuous efforts are bein-tr made to unload a supply here which'would not be marketable on the other side. But the standard here is being strictly enforced, and any 'dumping' will not be permitted. The fruits affected are pears, peaches and plums, and the causes for condemnation are numerous. Both rail and water carriage bring the product which have failed to pass inspection-" ��� Mr. Cunningham added that his method of dealing with the difficulty was to return the consignments to the shippers whenever possible; otherwise to have it taken to the crematory for destruction. erii i %-A \ ������'- Tjrri-prt-A'-- ij-'A?;-;'"'-''���.

C, A. Blutt and A. G. Edwatds, holders of the property, received $10,000 for it*. The new concern is incorporated as the Molson Gold Mining Company, of which H. F. Beery and I). W. Dart, of Columbus, Ohio, are the leading spirits. Representatives of the new owners are now enroute here and immediately upon their arrival will contract for the erection of a concentrating mill, and mining operations will be commenced as soon as possible. The deal was put through by Col. M. A. Smalley, of Chesaw, who during the past sixty days has tuaned three transactions bringing into the,Myers Creek mining district nearly 540,000 in cash. The Poland China mine consists of four claims. It is one of the oldest mining properties in the Myers Creek district, having been located as soon as the Colville reservation was thrown open to miners, in 1896. Neal Unden and Jerome Henkins were the original locators of the property. George B. Mediant purchased it shortly after its location, for a large sum of money, stated by some to be $15,000. He proceeded to develop the mine and fine ore was encountered. Development work to the value of many thousands of dollars was done at the same time Mr. Mecham was building the town of Molson. At this time also he had surveyed and constructed to tho mine the road which is now used as a thoroughfare frottt Molson to that point and which continues on to Chesaw. Vari- ious improvements made on the Poland China and the road are said to have cost Mr. Mecham in the neighborhood of ��65,000, to say nothing of the orign- al cost of the mine. Mecham, despairing of railroad transportation, it wiil be remembered, left the coi ntry some six years ago and never returned. In the vicissitudes of fortune following, the property finally came into the hands of C. A. Blatt aud A. G, Edwards, who iu their development work of last year, not only' pro ved the great value of the property, but made additional important discoveries that added largely to its promise.���Molson Independent. isw^- DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP NOTICK is hereby triveu that the partnership heretofore e.xistinir between MoPherson ,fc Craiir. hotel keepers, lioundarv Falls, has been dissolved.

For 28 years the visits of Richards &Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels have been looked upon as a gala event, always clean, wholesome and good, their name has caused the largest theaters to be filled to overflowing. This season these gentlemen have fairly eclipsed themselves in organizing a company of genuine colored artists, called from the ranks of all the bfst minstrel people on earth. Clarence PowUl heads the list, and proper thai he should. This extremely funny colored comedian has made more people laugh, and perhaps receives the largest salary of any comedian, white or black, in the world to day. The programme promised will be oh the old time minstrel order, the same as made minstrelsy so famous in past years. Sweet southern melodies, beautiful music, dances and witticisms make up a programme that is bound to please and interest.

Progress and development are terms closely identified with life in the West, In a new country people are working daily for the upbuilding of * town, city and dis--* trict, and for the improvementof the con^ ditions under which men and women are called upon to live, Every, act of ��daily life that tends to bettering one's surroundings makes directly or indirectly for the inv provement of society generally. In all this the local newspaper plays an important part, Among its local readers it stimulates an increasing interest in their home city, keeping them posted on all local happens ings, and becomes a welcome weekly messenger, bearing bright and welcome tidings, Amonr/ its outside readers it forms a valuable advertising medium making known the merits, advantages and prospects of the city and attracting thither -citizens who want employment, business firms looking for locations, and capitalists seeking investments, In the upbuilding of a town, city or district the [local paper is an important factor.

To do this most thoroughly and satisfactorily the Times must have the. support and coopera/ tion of the citizens of Greenwood, Every effort is being put forth to make the Times the class of newspaper the people want, Increasing attention is being continually paid to mining news, especi^ ally of that nature that will interest those employed in the work as well as those whose capital is invested in the properties. -With-thisend-in=-view=wc aim^to-have���=��� ��� rwi; u�� nrni iwctt: *'����HU��W*UWl-l.l**W)' A Subscriber in Every Home 1 Flowers at Mrs. Bernard's, phone A31 j��~ As a result of the efforts that have already ~2 S: been put forth, we believe that an increase ^ ���*~ interest is already being taken in its news '.3 ^ columns, We have evidences of this from ^5 ]E the fact that the subscripiion list is already ^5 j~ growing { the street sales are increasing ^ ^r weekly and the news dealers find more rr: ^ demand for each succeeding issue,.

Telephone company-. J^m secretary of the Information bureau af the Wonen's Institute of London, Eng., Miss Hodge is 'directly interested in oil matterw appertaining to the -mpif e. " i The Women'* Institute was formed in 1897 by Mrs. WytfftJrd Philippa, to be a center for women's work and to -pro-ride a Meeting place for men and women interested in "the adrancemeut of women. At present it has about ,700 members in all parts of the globe, and also about 50 associated societies, one of these being the National Council of Women of Canada. All members hare the .right to ask six questions a year, and the enquiries sent Ip touch on every conceivable subject, ^ion-members also have the privilege of having questions answered on pay* ment of a small fee, and research is undertaken at the British Museum library, if necessary. To men and ���sromen^aliks -this-has -proved- a- great boon, and the fact that the Women's Institute is appointed to act as the information bureau of the international council of women shows the import- ace and the value of*the work done. Once every year delegates from the . rious national councils of women ,ieet at No. 92 Victorio street, London, S. W., and give an account of the work tone by their respective councils. At 'ie last meeting of this kind, held on ���uch 28, Mrs. Fitzibbon represented .nada, aad her eloquent address was >ned to with the very greitest in- ast by those present. Throughout the year many other conferences and lectures are held at th�� Women's Institute, aud the subjects treated are of a varied character literature, history, travel, sociology, music, drama, each alike receives attention in order that the many members may find something to attract or interest. ���' There is also in connection with the institute a musical society \rhich pro- rides afternoon and evening entertainments, and an art and handicraft society, which holds exhibitions and at rnhich members have an opportunity of showing and selling their pictures and handicrafts. Two years ago the yeomen's Art society of Canada sent a consignment of -Canadia manufactured goods, and the beauty and originality of the textures exhibited elicited much admiration. Besides this there is a debating society, a voluntary helpers' association, which does good work ef all kinds. It has a reference library of books bearing on various subjects, and a secretarial school, inhere well educated girls are trained is-the usual tenchnical subjects of shorthand, typewriting and bookkeeping and where f'-ey also receive very Valuable practical experience in the varioua duties, expected of a well ' trained secretary. During the latter part of their course, (which consists of three terms), they work under Miss Hodge and have a thorough grounding ia indexing and research work. Most of these girls have posts waiting for them before their training is over, and it is very gratifying to know that the public and politial societies which employ these young secretaries almost invariable apply to the Women's Institute when from oae cause or another the post again becomes vacant. The countess of Aberdeen is on both' the committee and the council of the institute, and though not able to take an active part in the work, owing to her absence in Ireland, she has the highest opinion of the work done by the institute and constantly sends people there for advice and help. The Institute is not an employment bureau in aay sense, but one of its chief aims is to set before women the dignity and,, honor of well' executed .work, and to give information at all times as to the best means to employ to ensure that they may be well trained and thoroughly capable of filling the parts which they may be called upon to occupy. Miss Hodge will visit the coast cities and also Ottawa and other eastern cities before returning to England. <������ TOM CORKILL KILLED A Great Northern Ore Train Runs Over Him at Phoenix. Tom Corkill, of of the earliest prospectors in the Boundary was killed by a Great Northern ore train last lunday night. Corkill and his parther Thomas Kermeen left Phoenix Sunday evening and were following one of the Great Northern tracks towards th�� Meadow Lark where they were working. Cor.T kill sat down on the track to rest. Kermeen went up the track and hearing the ore train coming he shouted to Corkill but the doomed man did not get ont of the way in time. The locomotive caught him and he was so seriously injured that he died in a few minutes. Thoa. Corkill was well known in the Boundary. For a number of years he worked in the big mines in the district and was at one time a shift boss at the Mother Lode. He was about 46 years of age, unmarried and a native of the Isle of Man. He was a member in good standing of the Greenwood Miner's Union under whose auspices the funeral was held. DRESSMAKING and all kinds of sewing will be done by Mrs. C. B. Taylor, at home in /Anaconda.

He says the attendence at all the early fairs this year is greater than ever before and all exhibitors and men who take concessions predict a record breaking attendance at Spokane this year. Mr. Cosgrove and John W. Pace, secretary of the Montana State fair, booked a number of leading attractions for Montana and Spokane fairs which will be novelties.

BOUNDARY GREEK TIMES > nr, FRANKLIN CAMP Vivid History of tho North Fork Mineral Zone STORY BY W. A. HARKIN Scores of Prominent Engineers Have Inspected the Large Ore Bodies. Much Work Being Done. W. A. Hark-in, formerly offhe Tiifves staff, has furnished tlie" following-'interesting- report of Franklin camp : The lure'of gold, silver and copper is rapidly transforming a howling wilderness into a civilized community. The process can be studied here at close range. It is vibrating with life flavored with a coloring and furnished--.with a picturesqueness only found in the far West. It would stir the dullest imagination. Franklin camp was only a name six years ago, when Frank McFarlane, trapper, prospector and frontiersman and Jim Welcher, better known as '���'Deadshot Jim," on account of his unerring aim, discovered pay ore. McFailane located what is now known as the Banner mine, copper-gold proposition with seoarate leads of galena of fabulous wealth. His fellow-pioneer Deadshot Jim, planted stakes on McKinley mountain on'the soiith 'side-of Frankliri creek. His location has since provenr-to be a veritable bonanza. Other prospectors rushed iu the during the followiug spring, and manyp'ro- niisiug- locations were recorded. 2'The camp, however, languished for several years owing to its. seeming remoteness from transportation. The nearest railway . station is at Grand Forks, forty-five miles down the north fork of the Kettle river. Many prospectors, despairing of railway facilities within the next decade, gradually abandoned their holdings. Meantime an exhaustive report on the camp had been prepared by Dr. Brock, of the Dominion geological survey. It was illustrated by a colored map setting forth the ideal geological conditions which exist here. According to this well known authority the copper-gold belt is restricted to a region.about four miles wide by eight or nine in length north and south. Ifs eastern b'6uttdary is .situated several thousand feet easterly of the. eas' fork of the north fork. The original basin, composed of sedimentary' rock, ' has since been elevated in places. McKinley and. Banner mountains and Mineral Hill indicate where a seismic disturbance at some remote period tilted the basin skywards for over one thousand feet above the valley'' Their summits and slopes are now covered with stakes. A system of parallel lime clykas in this mineral bearing zone have an apparent trend in a northeasterly and southwesterly direction. At various points^ they=--alternate-=with^ bird's eye porphyry,' so dear to the prospector's heart. The richest ore", is.usually found at the contacts. As a general thing, the summits of the hills of this ancient basin are surmounted with massive ridges of porphyry. In the valley and extending up the slopes almost to the crests.occur huge boulders of conglomerate or "pudding stone." Their presence is indicative of great volcanic action. The pebbles comprising these masses, rounded and worn, are cement-. ed together firmly by a'n eruptive rock resembling andesite. The second period of the hi story of Franklin camp dates back two years, when George A. MacLeod, of Grand Forks, acquired the McKinley group, and started development .work on au extensive scale under the direction of A. D. McPhee. a practical mining man with an invaluable experience gained in Colorado. It is now generally conceded that the McKinley is destined to become one of the greatest mines in British Columbia. The property has long since passed the stage of doubt and uncertainty. Already there is a very large tonnage in sight. The ore is a typical high grade chalcopyrite, with subsidiary values iu gold and silver. The original surface showing has been replaced by a series of large open cuts along the trend of the ore zone. A long tunnel and a drift have likewise proven the magnitude of the self fluxing ore bodies. Thiscwork has been supplemented by extensive diamond drilling operations. Two plants have demonstrated,the continuance of the ore at depth.ts They have been running day and night for several months. Recently a big outcrop of magnetite was uncovered on the surface, ensuring fluxing;, material for many years. The .ownership of the McKinley is vested in a company controlled by F. August Heinze, the Butte mining millionaire, and several New York capitalists'. Mr. Heinze closed the deal after a personal visit to the camp last fall. His purchase augurs well for the future of the camp. The Butte operator, who fought the Standard Oil trust to a standstill,, has expressed himself in enthusiastic terms regarding the future of this region. Shortly afterwards h'is" com da ny' acquired working bonds on twenty other claims in Franklin camp. This imposing group is situated in the heart, of the mineral belt, and with development-will probably make other mines equally as rich as the McKinley, whose ores are popularly credited with averaging twice the value of. the low grade ores.of the Boundary district. The possibilities of mining in Franklin can be realized from the fact that the Granby Consolidated within the past six years has distributed dividends exceeding ���$94S,000 -exclusive of the enormous profits invested in enlarging the smelter at Grand Forks and adding to the equipment of the mines at Phoenix. Impressed with this wonderful showing, Mr.-Heinze and his associates have not hesitate 1 to expend money very -freely. If half the claims now under bond are taken up many prospectors will realize handsome fortunes. The McKinney. will probably soon be equipped/with a compressor pla.nt. .'..... .......... t. . .. ' i Hein-ze's investment has stimulated and even given the camp a prominence it never before occuoied. Since early spring the i*n*ineral belt has been overrun with prospectors from Nelson, Rossland, Grand Fonts, Phoenix, Greenwood, as well as from various American mining camps. Abandoned claims have been restaked and -several hundred-.-, new locations have been made. 'A continuous fiisilade all day long impresses oif with the magitude of-th��--deqelopmentiwqrk-now-=in--pro-- gress. T*r.e mining gam.; has a subtle fascination unequalled by that of any other occupation. Rugged men of weather beaten appearance are seen at work on every hillside. The very next shot in the ironcapping may bring them fame and fortune? The elusive goddness they ever cannot dodge them always. Some of.them are inevitably doomed to failure, for so fate has decreed. They nave followed the game for years without success, buoyed up by a hope destined never to see its fruition. '"������' ���' ���" ���' *"': ' Processions- of-, .pack.., trains .. and $?

Eveningtide and as the sun sinks behind the peaks the blasting ceases and a strange calmness follows. Night envelopes the earth-apace. Soon the open fires scattered up and down the valley or dotting the hillsides indicating the camp grounds where tired prospectors are preparing their evening meal. One by one the lights gradually disappear and naught is heard but the drowsy tinkle of bells on half a hundred horses munching feed in the bottom lands, the distant bark of a coyote or the screech of an owl. The large ; ore bodies, of Franklin camp were inspected this summer by scores of prominent mining- engineers and other representatives of capital. The visitors were almost a unit in declaring that the prospective ore ton nage is enormous and in predicting that shipments three:years hence will equal the present output of Phoenix. The C. P. R. and the Great Northern have had.their experts on the ground. It is an open secret that their reports have been of the most favorable character, The Kettle Valley line is now building north from Grand Forks. The gradim outfits are now strung along the route to a point fourteen miies beyond the snir-lter city. The railway will probably reach Franklin in the fall of 1907, when a large ore tonnage will be- available. Although no official announcement has yet been made it is generally, understood that the C. P. R. is backing the Kettle Valley railway extension. Jim Hill will probably parallel* his rival al no distant day. His. surveyors have located a line to point about 28 miles from this camp.* While the-McKinley overshadows all other properties in this camp there is every reason to believe that it will have several formidable rivals. A list of twenty or thirty promising- prospects could be enumerated. The best are the Maple Leaf, the Gloucester and the Banner groups. The former sprang into importance less j than two months ago when a rich strike of chalcopyrite ore was made on the surface. The showing has since improved wonderfully. Five large open cuts are in high grade ore. Many old timers declare that the Maple Leaf far surpasses the McKinley at the same stage of development. This group was bonded from the owners by Messrs. Geo. A. McLeod and H. W. Warrington of Grand Forks, who in turn rebonded the group to a Salt Lake City syndicate. Extensive development work is'now in*full swing. There is'already a large tonnage in sight.- Franklin, the embryo tented citv, promises to enjoy a future commensurate with the development of the mineral-wealth in the adjacent hills. It is located ori a gently adulating plateau south of Franklin creek and w'est of the north fork. A square mile of laud has beeri surveyed and platted. The site'is an ideal one controlling, as itdoes^ti'-e^appi-oach^to.alLportious^ot the camp. It occupies '.he entire width of the valley at this point. No visitor can reach McKinley, the Banner or Mineral Hill without traversing the main thoroughfare of the townsite. Here ends the long wagon road from Grand Forks and here will be located the future postoffice. This ambitious little "city" although scarcely two months old has a population of about fifty inhabitants'- mainly comprising freighters, carpenters, and prospectors. The Waldorf-Astoria, as it has been named, is a tented hotel which is daily crowded with guests. Tents are fast being replaced by permanent buildings. A frame hotel and a log store will soon be realities. Other business enterprises are planned or are being planned. Old timers predict that the stirring scenes witnessed in Rossland in- boom days will soon be duplicated here on the banks of the east fork., ������.Jm-J^wJm.X^M^HK^ "Make Hay While the Sun Shines." There is a lesson in the work of the thrifty farmer. He knows that the bright- sunshine may last but a dav, and he prepares for the showers which are so liable to follow.
