The notable progress made lu the development of Franklin camp district last summer was a forerunner of the still larger doings which will be witnessed during the present year up the North Fork of the Kettle river, says the Grand Forks Gazette. An account of the camp is given. by Lewis Noble of Denver, who recently returned from a trip there accompanied with George McLeod. Mr. Noble is one of the foremost mining and geological experts in th'j United States, and a man whose experiences have carried' him through the big mining camps of -South Af rica, Alaska and the United States generally. He was specially struck with the outcropping of mineral all through the. North Fork country and made careful examinations of Ihe leading properties.' The formation of the .country Mr. Noble considered extremely favorable-for the existence of extensive ore bodies, and sufficient mineral showings existed to warrant the exploitation of the district by, big companies who could do development work ou a large scale. Apparently Mr. Noble doea not believe in cash payments on undeveloped "properties. He -believes that the proper course, and the best course, even for the owner of the property, is to give those who have the necessary capital a reasonable time in which to explore and develop the claims on a scale commensurate with tne surface indications, and that working on this principle the new camps throughout the country would be more rapidly brought to the front and the really meritorious properties would receive justice in a far shorter time. b. c. copper eo. ..; George McLeod states that he has turned ov ,r all the bonds on Gloucester camp properties in which he is interested to the B. C; Copper company, and thougrrit is premature to make definite on the I athfiuder, and John Rogers, who is superintending the work for tbe Granby company, is bending all his energies toward locating the size and direction of the ore bodies. FRA.NKI.IN TOWNSITE. With all tHis activity the time would seem ripe for the inevitable townsite, and as a matter of facta well situated one will be placed on the market within 30 days. Mi. McLeod, who is heavily interested in the project, has succeeded in incorporating a company known as the Franklin Townsite Co.], Ltd., with a capitalization of $20,000. The land is situated in the heart of the* mineralized district of th'e ur per North Fork, lying on the west batik of the river, and within easy i*eich~ of the principal properties. , The surrey i.s practically completed, and by the middle .of May the streets wiil be" cleared and maps of the townsite published. The government road will be completed to this point by the first of August, and the railway survey goes right through the townsite. It is the intention of the company to erect a portable sawmill in the near future as much good timber is available just across the river. A. Erskine Smi.th & Co. will act as town- site agents for the company Take it all around prospects never looked so bright for this important section, and its speedy expansion will mean much for Grand Forks.

It seemsthat'Diamond,* who is-a man of somefiO.years-of age,' and who lives alone 'in axabin~on- the Diamond Fractional mineral claim by Providence creek, had not been feeling well for some days, and on Saturday about 11 a. m. he took a dose of medi-: cine which brought on a spell of dizziness, causing him to fall, striking his head on a rock at the entrance to his cabin. The shock was severe enough1 to render him unconscious and how long he lay there is unknown, but when found by J. MacMullen, another employe of the mining company, at 2 p. m., hehad dragged.himself into the cabin and was lying on the floor in a pool of blood.

A peculiar circumstance connected with the affair is that no blood was found on the stone *un which Diamond claims he fell and struck his head, but he may have dragged himself into the cabin before the blood began to now freely and then have fainted. His injuries, however, were not dangerous, and he has almost fully recovered from the t fiFects of the shock. .: The long looked for improvement.in the mail service has at last been^ inaugurated and the change is much appreciated by business men especially. Sometiu'e ago the Great Northern started carrying the American, eastern Canada and coast mail to Midway and for two nights the Midway stage brought it to Greenwood and citizens received their mail several hours earlier than had been possible befoie. This excellent service was, not maintained however, because the stage line had no contract for the work and the mall had to lay over in Midway and be sent to Greenwood on the 2:30 train next day. A contract _ however has been arranged and the mail is now brought from Mir.way on MacDonald's stage, arriving here about 8 p. m.

Turnout for tbe Eizhty-Seventti Anniversery. Boundary Valley Lodge No. 38,1. Q. O. F��� celebrated the 87th anniversary of Oddfellowship last Sunday by attending the evening service in the Presby'erian church. Upwards of a hundred members turned out, making a fine procession, headed by the city band in their scarlet uniforms. W. B. Fleming as master of ceremonies was in charge of the parade and handled his men with the ease and precision of a veteran. They occupied the center chairs and their regalia lent color to the large assemblage that filled the church. R.ev. M. D. McKee, aa ehaplain of the order, delivered the sermon, and in the course of his remarks dvrelt much on the fact that the principles uf Odd- fellowship and of Christianity were identical. He also referred to the high position the order holds among the fraternal societies of the world and he congratulated the members on th* splendid record that had been achieve* ftnd upon ita present prosperity. G. Clark, one of the charge wheelers working at Boundary Falls smelter, met with an accident Tuesdav, spraining his ankle and otherwise injuring his foot. He was removed to the Sisters' hospital for treatment. Philip Moore, an employee of the B. C. smelter, met with a slight accident Tuesday while unloading a car of lumber. In some way he missed his footing and fell, receiving a severe shaking up, necessitating his removal to the hospital. His condition is not at all serious. BOUNDARY FALLS NOTES Work at the Boundary Falls smeller is going ahead smoothly and the usual amount of ore is being reduced daily. The new spur track has been completed and is proving a great convenience for the handling of the matte. The British Columbia Construction and Distributing company, formerly known as the West Kootenay Power and Light company, is surveying for their power line from the Anaconda sub station to the smelter, and the line will be completed by the time thecompany is ready xo distribute power, BOUNDARY GREEK ATALE OF HARDS ji) George McKenzie Has Terrible Experience. IN THE COLD,WILD NORTH Both Feet Frozen ���Takes Scurvy. Weeks without Decent Care. Almost Dies from Exposure. It is not often that fiction relates such a tale of hardship and suffering as'that which hiis just co.mse from the wilds of Northerr British Columbia. From the borders of the gres.t "Unknown Land" of the north, has come details of a perilous journey on snow shoes, of crippling frost bites, of weeks of lone suffering and loathsome sickness, und finally of a desperate journey, fraught with difficulties and dangers that almost cost the life of a brave prospector ere at last, after ���������month's of torture, he'found succor and relief at an outpost of civilization. Such is a brief outline: of'the hardships of George McKenzie, well rer membered as the driver of the West Fork stage, and at one time associated with George Guys in business at West- bridge. A FAMOUS TRAVKUvBR. It will be remembered bv most of the ��� Times readers that Mr. McKenzie first gained fame as a tireless traveller aud intrepid explorer by his ���memorable trip of 440 miles, on snow-shoes, from his camp on Omenica river, west of the Peace river country, and on- the very frontier of the unexplored 'north country, to Port Essington, at * the mouth of the Skeenariver, on his way back to visit friends hi Greenwood and vicinity. His accounts of that trip were published in the leading papers of Canada and in some of the American papers. ' ��� '��� RETURNS TO THE NORTH. Two years ago,* in cotnpan3' with Dan Sullivan and a Mr. Thone, he returned to his camp on the Omenica river, which is 40 miles north of Man- son creek, a noted placer mining district. While there he met Indians Who informed him that in the great "Unknown Land" to the north there was lots of "yellow stuff," and he decided to penetrate the "unknown" and see for hin self. Accordingly he started' last autumn on a journey fa rther north. He found the country almost a contin-.* uous stretch of marsh, stream and lake, most difficult for travel and dangerous to life and limb, His trip, however, was not without results, for he discovered rich placer deposits that went 20 cents to the pan. He had penetrated a. distance of about 100 miles and would have proceeded further, but the nature =of the-country^made^it-irnpossiblerarid- he returned to camp to await the coming of winter, when he would return on snowshoes and cross the lakes and rivers on the ice. MAKES ANOTHER STAKT. On the 13th of January he again started with his pack for the scene of his earlier explorations. The weather was bitterly cold. The thermometer registered 65 degre-'s below zero and the snow was deep. He had covered about half thi distance when the intense cold froze both his feet and being unable to get relief, he decided to return to camp, so leaving his pack, he started on his return journey, reaching his camp in an almost exhausted condition. The camp had been left in caie of a fellow prospector, Charles Newman. When Mr. McKenzie left Greenwood with his two companions. Sullivan aad Thone. they had taken with them a well stocked madicinechest. This was taken care of by Sullivan, who was camped four miles distant. McKenzie and Newman had no medicines in their cabin, and there was nothing at hand to relieve the unfortunate man's intense sufferings. Newman did what he could to care for Mi. McKenzie, cooking food and dressing his frozen feet, bi\t for some unexplained reason he refused all the latter's requests to go to Sullivan's camp for medical supplies. TAKES scurvy: For eight weeks the suffering man lay helpless without relief, subsiding on salt meats until a severe attack of scurvy added to his misery: At last an Indian happened to visit the camp, and the untutored savage, responding to the dictates of humanity," volunteered to go to Sullivan's camp and bring assistance. Mr. Sullivan immediately came to the relief and found the well nigh exhausted man in a ter rible condition. He was'so weakened ��� i-,ai he was unable lo turn in his bed. 'llic .scurvy had wrought its effects and mx of his leeth had loosened and drop pud from their sockets, while the other* were all rattling in his shrunken gums. Mis feet were literally decaying and ill" flesh was dropping from ihe toes. Mr. Sullivan did all in his power to relieve ihe poor man's sufferings, but it was too late, and his simple skill was usiequal to ihe task. It was case demanding extreme measures, and ���hough they were upwards of 200 miles from tho lira rest hospital at Hazelton, ��� -' r.*;i-. ���Veid-.-d tliat the only hope lay .i'ipc'eily removal. STARTS FOR l-TAZEWON, Sullivan took charge of the trip, and with Mr. Thone and two Indians they started with a dog team about March 25th for Hazelton, on the Skeena river. McKenzie was too weak to sit* up or to h.iid himself onto the sled, so he waa placed on a'stretcher and las'ied to the sled. He began to think that relief would soon be reached and that his sufferings would soon be ended, but the.misfortunes that had brought him to a condition of helplessness were destined to follow him to the. last. The ride from his camp to Hazelton waa one of trying" adventure. The dog train was wild aud almost unmanag- ahie. In 'writing to his friends he states that if the dogs broke from their Indian guides and ran away once they must have done so a dozen times. There, lashed to the sled, he vn s dragged at a flying pace over the rough trail, the sled bumping against fallen logs, bounding over dangerous places and at times half capsized, with the half senseless man dragging in the snow. Several times, when night came, de despaired of surviving until morning, and for the last twenty miles of that terrible journey he was too weak to tide on the sled, but had to be carried on a stretcher between the two pack .horses. o ���.REACHES CIVILIZATION. o . ��� . -; After eleven days of exhausting adventure the party reached Hazelton about April 5th, where Mr. McKenzie was placed in the hospital and ever3'- thing cone to help him, and where he is now slowly recovering from hi�� wonderful experience. It was from there that he wrote his brothers, Kenneth McKenivie of Greenwood, and John of Rock Creek, giving details. He states in his letters that the doctors had found it necessary to amputate one of his toes, but there were hopes of saving the others. From several of them the flesh had entirely disappeared, but every effort was being made to induce it to grow on again. Mr. McKenzie is a man of most mugged constitution and his years of experience in the wilds of the north has inured him to the most trying hardships. Few men could have passed through half what he has done anil survived tb tell the tale,, and his abilities to withstand such a prolonged period of exposure and sickness is n testimony to the powers of human endurance. - ' SCHOOL REPORTS.

HOT SHOTS FOR FOSTER Riddles Opposition Members on a Subject on Which They Had Attacked the Government. In the Dominiou parliament much time has been given up of late to a discussion of the" North Atlantic Trading company contract. Several members on both sides of the house waxed eloquent while debating the matter, but none made such an impression as the member from Greenwood. Last session Duncan Ross made a name for himself and his constituency, and again last week he carried off honors that has made him a favorite among- the friends of the government everywhere. The Toronto Star tells of the speech in a humorous vein and says: "When Parliament will hear the last of this North Atlantic Trading company matter is a mystery of the dim aud misty hereafter. "The Opposition have fastened upon it, their busy artificers are striving to transform it into a campaign cry. From this distance it looks as though the defunct 'Old Flag' cry that rati through the country in so many campaigns would be succeeded by a slogan manufactured out of the North Atlantic Trading company contract. The Opposition steadfastly iefuses to see in it anything but a monster fraud and mgraft.J,roJhj;niJt_sinells_a highiheaven of corruption. All day Friday they clawed and chawed at it, in a vain endeavor to lay bare any evidence of corrupt practice, and when they desisted they were as wise as when they started, Even when the fever of their elation at the Government's announcement that the contract had been cancelled, was at its height, a false note rang in their shouts of glee. The Government had bended to popular opinion, but the Opposition had not secured even a hand hold. I WKRK SOUNIH.V Cl'l-'l'l'I). j "Today they came back to the attack | and fared a great deal worse than they j did 011 Friday. They were rebuffed at every turn, and Lieut. Foster and his understudy in the graft-smelling cult, \V. H. Bennett,were both soundly culled by Duncan Ross of Yale-Caribou. The Boundary Creek Tiines man is a Scotchman with all his ancestors' fondness | for good, plain facts. He bombarded , Foster Bennett, and Co. with what Frederick D. Monk calls 'true facts,' and they sung small. Noss just simply held them up and let the Parliament look at them from all sides. He followed their own 'gum-shoe' tactics. ; He back-trailed them for a few years and then told the House what he dis- i covered���and what he brought forth wasn't fair to look upon with Opposition eyes. "The Government benches crowed and chuckled in high joy. They wiggled around in ecstatic glee and playfully poked each other in the short ribs, and upset each other's desk tops, while the man from the Uritish Columbia mining constituency went gaily '"i his course. "They chortled when he unearthed the Foster-Bennett North-West laud deal. "The land for the speculator, indeed! "Did't Ross hold them up by the scruff of the neck and shake for the details of a big land speculating deal in which they themselves���the very men who had shouted 'unclean, unclean' the loudest���were the chief figuresl "If a couple of young members had suddenly commenced turning handsprings down there behind the back benches it's dollars to doughnuts the grey-bearded and grey-haired veterans would have shouted their approval. "But wait a minute, until I tell how it all came about���until I get things in their chronological order. MONK I.EADS OFF. "Monk the professor of constitutional law, led off with a very smooth effort. He did very w-ill, but early he fell into flie Fosterian rut, and he made no points the man from North Toronto had not anticipated Friday night. "He started ..out with a sarcastic reference to Sir Wilfrid's closing remark Friday. The leader had then laughingly remarked that the Opposition might need forty-eight hours 'to prepare its defence to the Government announcement of cancellation. " 'I thought we were the attacking party,' hes.\id, 'and that the impregnable fortress had surrendered���that the white flag had been hoisted, and that Stoessel was coming out.' '���For a surrender, it was about the liveliest skirmish Monk was ever mixed up in. A CLANDESTINE VIOLATION. "Monk called that North Atlantic Trading company contract lots of things He said it was 'without a defensible feature,' and bore 'a strong suspicion of fraud.' He said that Preston and Smart had engineered the deal, and that Lord Stratlicona had warned the Government that the agreement provided for a clandestine \ iolation of the treaty of nations. " 'There is a widespread conviction J*hatJherelM^ the cost was S4.73 ahead. "Ross didn't say that in as many words, but he rattled the bine book ligures right up against the armor of the ir.eri across the carpet, aud they didn't like it a bit. "Both the Saskatchewan Valley Lan company and the North Atlantic Trading company schemes had redounded to the material advan.age of the North-West. " 'But both were borrowed'��� "Ross snid so���borrowed from his friends, the Conservatives. They practised both before the Liberals ascended to power. FOSTER IN TROUBLE. " 'And Mr. Foster, the apostle of purity,' said Ross, training his guns upon the North Toronto man, 'he complains because the men whose names are in the North Atlantic charter are solicitors' clerks. Well, on the records in Victoria, he will find solicitors' clerks named as incorporators of mining companies he promoted.;, "Then he told a tale of hot water and temperance. How Mr. Foster's blue ribbon devotion had been rewarded with the Temperance Colonization society grant. On 217,000 acres of land, in five years the company had placed 101 settlers, and for that had received 5100,000. " 'Some of that land in Saskatoon i* now selling at S75 and S100 a foot frontage, and other portions at $1,500 to $2,000 an acre.' "The land for the settler, forsooth! "Then Ross talked about Foster's connection with a 40,000-acre deal near Tisdale, Saskatchewan. 'He got possession of both the odd and even numbered sections, and despite the protests of the people he held on, much to the detriment of the district,' said Ross. 'He refused to exchange, and the result is that there is not a single settler in two townships, and Mr. Foster today enjoys the distinction of being the manager of the only two townships of Continued on page 7.

"He pretty near broke a Parliamentary rule by talking about 'damnable features.' That was because, as he said, the Government would not give up the names of those who composed the company. ���'' The time has come for a complete change in our immigration sceme; we have outlive d the bonusing system,' he cried. ROSS LETS EIRE. " Then the House and the galleries went to sleep, and only woke up when Ross of Yale-Cariboo, rose. "Ross was a regular forensic Gatling Gun Howard. He just stood up and pumped hot stuff into the cohorts of the Opposition. "So the Opposition thought itself the attacking party. Rash Opposition Before he got through they would think themselves the defensive and' defenceless party. "They did! "Ross pointed out that the Opposition Had stool around like an armless man at a festival of the silent ones, when the contract had been in force. but just as soon as the Government started in to look tbe contract over the Opposition set up a yowl. "Under the contract, farming emi- ; grants had been brought to Canada from Continental Europe at an average cost of S4.21, while from Brussels and France, where the Government could work ilseif, the cost had been 528.57.

Present indications point most riiavOTalyly"ttr"th"eiicfofitm pent^y of Greenwood and other towns depending largely on the profitable production of copper for their commercial well being*, for the price of copper which is now over IS cents per pound promises to touch the 20 cent mark before many months. For some lime the demaud has been greater than the supply and it is reasonable to suppose that the vast reconstructive work about to start in San Francisco and along the Pacific coast will have a tendance to stiffen prices. In the last issue of the Boston Commercial Walker's copper letter says: "Copper continues extremely strong but domestic prices are only slightly changed. Lake is held at IS^-i to 182-8 cents and electrolytic 1SJ**? to 18yij cents per pound. Sales are being made at all these prices. The buying at the present time is nearly all for July and August delivery. Some copper has been purchased for September delivery. Consumers have recently been able to secure small lots of spot copper and some for May and June account, but so far as can be ascertained cash supplies are now practically exhausted. Producers have yeu- erally sold their entire production up to August 1st. ���' 'The all engrossing problem in the trade at the present time is Golden Crown Wellington 2,250 Kiiifr Solomon AV Copper S"5 1 Ji ir Copper W.

I am satisfied that Europe wall need a great deal more copper than it has so far purchased, and I do not know the source from which it is to be supplied. ' " 'The Ocousumption of copper is clearly running ahead of production. It may be as impossible to prevent an advance in prices above 1S><S to 18J4 cents as it was last year to hold the prices down to lo/z cents, You -will recall that the largest producers sold the last .pound .of copper they were able to supply at 15,'/i> cents, believing that would be the top of the market aud feeling that it was inexpedient to encourage a further advance. We are now supplying the demand for copper as far as we cau, but we are ready to say no to those buyers who desire deliveries between now and midsummer.' " 'There is a good foreign demaud for copper, Germany, as usual, being the largest buyer. Russia has beeu out of the market for several months past as a result of its internal disturbances. Had it uot been for this reduction in the demaud, prices would uoav be higher than they are. f think the San Francisco disaster will cause an increased demand for copper. In my opinion, the next change in the price of copper will be. an advance and not a decline. " "The foregoiug are the views of one who can always be relied upon to state the case conservatively. Other large producing interests have beeu consulted this week and they confirm the statements quoted. The recent strength of the London market reflects the fact that foreign consumers are in urgent need of supplies, ahd a 20-cent copper market before the middle of the vear therefore is not improbable. ���'The copper mining companies have only begun to receive the full benefits of present high metal prices. Copper did uot sell at 18 cents.per pound until last December and a great deal of copper was sold during the month for delivery as far ahead as March and April. Pew companies re- cieved more thau IS ceuts for their March output, but all of them will recieve as much if not more than that price for their April production. From now the copper mines of the United States Canada and Mexico will receive an ayerage profit, of 100% on every pound of copper produced. There will be a profit of more than $90,000,000 on the copper produced in these three countries this year and such prosperity can hardly fail to be reflected in the copper market. "I believe that all the best copper stocks should be bought on this reaction and held for the much higher prices which are pretty sure to be realized before ihe-end.aLth.e_^:ear.lL^^^������.--��� SUPREME COURT.

His men,, he claims, have absolutely no grievance, and those who went on strike either misunderstood: the situation or went out in sympathy for the Italians work ing on the excavations under Tierney. A number of his men, who inquired more cloBelyinto the matter, continued their work without interruption. Tierney's men are mostly Italians, and were emploj'ed on excavation work for which they were receiving $2.50 for ten hours. Mr. Tierney claims the men were perfectly satisfied, aa they were get*, ing as much as they could get for similar work on the railways'* until induced to strike by the union.

FLATHEAD OIL FIELDS Story of Their B:r;-:j-.>v?--" and Location. A RAILWAY PROJiC Charter Obtained for a Lin Up the District���Canada Wf si 01! Co. Formed- William Forrest, who has prospected for many years over the Province of British Columbia for minerals of all kinds, including coal and oil, while on a survey sent out by the Dominiou government, saw with his own eyes seepages of oil in the Flathead valley in the southeastern corner of British Columbia in the early nineties. In the year 1901 he induced Angus Cameron of Cascade, B. C, and one James Cameron, who had trapped in the Flathead valley 15 years before, and who then taw oil seepages and made locations, to go into that district with him and locate some claims under the "Coal Mines' Act of B. C. After looking the Ian I over they became convinced that the Ian Is in and around Kishenehna creek were the most promising for oil, and made four locations there. When Angus Cameron came back he interested several Gieenwood men in a prospect of get ting licenses to prospect for oil and developing an oil field there. Prominent among these were J. E. Spankie, M. D., S. Barry Yuill Hugh McCutcheon and E. R. Redpath. The necessary steps as to advertising, etc., were taken, and an application was m?de to the Provincial government for licenses. These were -refused on the ground that the land was in reserve, and that it was against public policy to grant licenses. UCBNSES REFUSED.

Nine licenses were issued to the parties interested herein. In 190.-J they attempted to clear their titles by requesting all conflicting claimants ts appear in conrt, but Judge Forin decided he had no jurisdiction, and the attempt fell through. Early in 1905 E. W. Lysons, P. L. S., and a gang of men were sent in to survey the claims so held under license. It was then ascertained that the claims conflicted with those held by McVittie, Baker and others of Cranbook. As the latter appeared to have complied with the "Coal Mines' Act," and to have located at an early date, the Greenwood men at considerable expense effected an arrangement with them and took an assignment of all their claims excepting one which was retained by McVittie. I.KA.SE OBTAINED. Among the claims so obtained was one located by James Biker, and als.j by Hngh McCutcheon, which an eminent Dominion geologist stated on the ground was, in his opinion, the most promising location for oil in British Columbia. The Greenwood men then devoted all their energies to getting a lease on this claim, as a lease meant a title, and the license issued "by the B.C. government was no title. A lease was finally obtained on the 9th of March last, which the owners state is the first and only lease that has been granted in the Flathead valley. A company to develop and exploit this field for oil has been formed. This is called the "Canada Western Oil Company, Limited, Non-Personal inability." The. capital is 500,000 shares of the par value of Si.00 each. Two hundred and twenty thousand of these shares has been placed in the treasury for development purpose*. THE DIRECTORS. The: first or provisional directors of 'he company are: J. E. Spankie, M. D., E. R. Redpath, Hugh McCutcheon, S. Barry Yuill and James McCreath. The officers of this company believe it occupies a very favorable position. A projected railway to connect with the C. P. R. system, for which a charter was obtained at the recent session of the legislature, and which, there is good reason to believe, will be built at an early date, will run through its properties.

Near the bottom pf the shaft was found the rest of the body in dismembered parts. In ���ne place a shoe was found with a dismembered foot in it. The remains were picked up and taken to the undertaking establishment of J. M. Jordan. Curry had been employed as an ore sorter for about three weeks.

Rossland Ore Sorter Drops a Distance of 1.650 Feet. Christopher Curry, an ore sorter at the Centre Star, Rossland, met with a fearful death Saturday last, by falling ji distance of about 1,650 feet in the shaft and from the top of the head- works. The dreadful accident was the result of losing his balance. The skip on the track on the west side of the shaft, after it had automatically dumped its load, was so fouled by a piece of ore that it refused to go back into the shaft. Curry got into the skipwaY below the skip with a crowbar for the purpose of removing the rock aud freeing the skip. Suddenly he lost his balance and went hurtling downward. Sti iking the inclined side of the skip- way, he was hurled outward with such great speed and force that he struck the outer protection rail at the collar of the shaft and dropped from (here directly into the shaft. The top of the headworks is about 45 feet above the collar of the shaft. The body of the unfortunate man bounded from projection to projection, and was literally torn to pieces in its descent to the bottom of the shaft, 1,650 feet from where it started. The employes of the Centre Star, who were around the mouth of the shaft, saw Curry coirr plunging down and strike tlit* rai! ;���>. the *..<<lHr of the sli.-f', aud tru-n bound ino.k and OitiippciT ii.to tl.c ��u..ii.

Both bylaws passed. The passing of the bylaws means that a reservorr . will be constructed on Providence creek and that the north end of the town will be supplied with a first-class water system. The project of the Greenwood Electric Light Co. having been endorsed by the citizens, that company will immediately proceed with the construction of their power plant at Boundary Falls. Mr. Warren, the manager, stated to the Times Thursday morning that the plans for the works would be sent at once to the chief commissioner of land and works for his official approval. This will probably take two or,three weeks, bi t in the. mean time as much preparatory work will be done as possible in order to hasten the completion of the plant at the earliest possible date. ''-;������ COUNCIL, MEETS. ' The city council met Wednesday evening and received the report of the returning officer and there was an evident air of satisfaction pervading the j. recincts of the conncil chamber. The question of greatest public ��� interest oming up for discussion was the reading room. Some time ago a committee representing the free reading room on Greenwood street and the Miners' Union reading room was appointed to consider the question of amalgamation. Tiiat committee was represented by a delegation before the council, which recommended that the reading room on Greenwood street be closed up; that the present donation of $15 per month to the free reading room be transferred to the Miners' Union reading room and that a committee be appointed in charge, representing the city council, the free reading room and the Miners' Union. This was discussed for sometime, the mayor pointing out that a union of all the forces in the city was necessary to carry pn a successful free reading room,;and that it was better to have one good reading room than two poor ones. PURKI.Y PUBIvIO. Alderman Bunting expressed n strong desire to have the reading room free from any obligations to any or- =gahizatibn**and*:rtinipurelyiin-the-inter- ests of the public, if the council waa going to donate anything to its support. This point was .discussed both by the council and the delegation, and ended in a motion by Alderman Bunl- ing that the 515 per month now eroing to the Greenwood street reading room be tiansferred tc the joint committee in charge of the Miners' reading room, temporarily, until September, when the Miners' union lease on their premises expires. This was passed. It is the intention of the joint committee to formulate i ew plans and to be on the lookou'. for larger premises. The Greenwood street reading room will be closed. KeSlG NATIONS. Th *��� resignation of J. P. Myers Gray as city solicitor, was read and accepted. A successor will be elected by the council at a future meeting. The resignation of A. U Hallett as chief of the police at:d tire departments, was also received and accepted. A gsuc- cessor to this position will be advertised for. The city engineer recommended that a four-inch water main be extended on Long Lake slr:et 'o supply water to several applicants. This was passed on motion of McRae and Sullivan. The report of the engineer stated that applications for fifteen water services had been applied for since April 1st.

" 'This is the man who howled in the House the land for the settler 1' exclaimed Ross, suddenly, becoming more animated. Then , the Liberals broke loose in loud cheers. A NEW &EST OF TRAITORS. "It was but the commencement, for the British Columbian was warming up, and he had about a yard of notes yet to 'expand.' "He said that by some mysterious method certain Conservative members had obtained possession of 200,000 acres of C. P. R. land. . " 'Foster was engaged to manage the company, and he immediately formed a new nest of traitors among land speculators,' said Ross, and the Liberals stretched their lungs in cheers. Ross had in his possession a statement of claim in a suit instituted by A. A. Lefurgev, M. P.,W. H. Bennett, M. P., and A. Pencher, against the Great West Land Co., the company formed to handle the 200,000 acres, and Rufus Pope, ex-M. P., and George W. Fowler, M. P., and suggested that Mr. Bennett must have been searching for balm'for his disappointment in not securing a slice of public domain on 'easy terms.' "'When I read this statement of claim I am impressed with the fact that the Conservatives in their land speculations could not hurt each other,', remarked Mr. Ross. 'They were apparently.all/right until the got under the blighting, influence of Mr. Foster.' "More Liberal joy! "'They were a happy family until they gol into his hands,' and the Government benches grew noisy again. "Thj statement of claim detailed the formation ot a company to deal in North-West lands, and a scrap over the division in which it see.i.ed Lefurgey, Binnett and Pencher had got the short end of the deal. - "The defence of Messrs. Pope and] Fowler was that they had obtained the land by'their own exertions,' and were therefore entitlen to the lion's share. "Mr.. Ross wanted to know something about the 'exertions' which gained them the land at a reduction of $3 an acre. He pointed out that they had put up only $200 each, aud had secured an option on and sold to the Great West Land Co. 200,000 acres at an advance of '51 an acre. " 'There should have been enough to go around,' remarked Ross, dryly, 'but Mr. Foster is never mixed up in anything where a nest of traitors does not develop. He wouldn't divide even, but wanted to squeeze out the neophytes.' NO SYMPATHY COMING. '���Mr. Ross scored Foster for his mud- slinging electioneering -tactics of 1896, and said that the ugly chickens he had hatched out then were coming home to roost, and he got no sympathy from "thfe"Otheriside=bf "the'Houser"^--"-^^^-^ The speech closed amid ringing- cheers from the Government benches, and sad looks fiom the opposition, while a shower of congratulations were bestowed upon the member from Greenwood.

Title | Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1906-05-04 |
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. |
