Barry Yuill returned late last week from an extended trip to the Flathead valley oil district, where the Canada Western Oil Co., Ltd,, have a lease on some very promising oil lands on the Kish-e-neh-na creek. Mr. Yuill is a member of the board of directors of the company. He was well pleased with the prospects for securing plenty of good oil and brought home some fine samples. He states there are many seepages along the banks of the creek ou their property. By moving the soil at the edge of the creek a fine film of oil may be seen to float over the surface of the water. Most of the oil lands of the district are held by license from the government and most of these are in more or leas of a tangle, but Mr. Yuill's company hold theirs by lease, and consequently they have more complete control and are in a more satisfactory condition to prosecute business, The district has not yet been tapped by any railway, but the proposed Southeast Kootenay railway is expected to build . through the company's oil fields. Private capital, however, is making the district more accessible by the building of a good wagon road from, Pincher to Oil City,-Toward the cost of this the citizens of Pincher have put up the sum of $500. This road will lead from Pincher to the oil lands of the Canada Western Oil Cd. The companies operating in the Flathead Valley are pressing the British Columbia government to assist them in building roads, but if public funds are not forthcoming the roads will be built anyway. Other companies operating have demonstrated the value of the oil lands and the Rocky Mountain Oil Co. have several welte and are boring more. They have a small refinery at work and are supplying the people of the surrounding district with both both illuminating and lubricating oils. The advent of the railway would naturally hasten the development of the district, but even with wagon roads"' the work can be carried otTsuccessf ully7 The valley ia rich not only in oil, but it is also a splendid ranching district.

The Flathead valley has before it a splendid future full of bright promise, THE CELEBRATION Last Monday night a public meeting was held in the city hall to discuss the holding of a celebration on Labor Day. A few were present representing the business men aud the workmen of the town. In the course of the discussion it was pretty well agreed that Greenwood should celebrate -this year. As it would likely be held on Labor Day, the Miners' union evinced a desire to have control of the affair, and it was practically decided to let tne union run it. A large committee was appointed to go into the details and to report to a public meeting on Friday night. The committee haye held a meeting and will report to the meeting tonight that the matter has been left in the hands of the Miners' union. The union will meet Saturday night and decide what course will be pursued. POST OFFICE REPORT The following is a report of the Greenwood post office for the year ending June 30.

He also found the crop prospects good and expects the farmers of North Dakota will reap an abundant harvest this year, He also visited St. Paul and Minneapolis. These cities are experiencing a remarkable growth and are fast becoming one vast commercial center. LESLIE-LAWSON. A quiet wedding was celebrated at the Presbyterian manse last Tuesday, when John Leslie of Chesaw, was married to Miss Mary Jamison Lawson of Alyth, Scotland. The ceremony was performed by Rev. M. D. McKee. The bride came direct from Scotland and was married shortly after her arrival. J. H. Hawthornthwaite, leader of the provincial socialists, will hold a meeting in the Auditorium next Monday night. i. HIGH GRADE MINES A Review of Some of the Properties. LOOKING PROSPEROUS Development Work Reveals Good Ore. -Operations at the Crescent Fraction, Anaconda and Eureka. Ted Mueller, local'manager far the Chicago, B. C. Mining Co., is busy at work with five men at the Crescent Fraction and they are getting' along like a happy family. The members of what Teddy calls "the best gang of men in the country," are Joe Bourke, foreman, M. Campbell, Mac Mclsaacs and Henry MasBey. The boys work in the shaft during the day, and in order to keep things going all the. time Tedd does the mucking at night. Last Monday night a twenty inch leader was struck.in the middle of the shaft. The ore shows high in * silver and also carries zinc and lead. No assay of the new find has been made, but it is believed to be richer than anything heretofore found on the claim, An ordinary sample, which was assayed some time ago, went $101 in silver, while a selectedapiece went $368. Mr. Mueller is delighted with the prospects and feels confident that the Crescent Fraction will soon develop into a high grade, large producing mine. Speaking of the conditions" under which he is working, he said: "We have been doing very consistent work. We are straightening out the bench, which was opened under previous management, in order to facilitate 'the "work of hoisting, and to bring us to the hanging wall. We have been peculiarly favored by nature. The Crescent Fraction is in a unique formation which provides a. natural drainage, and as a consequence the shaft is kept free from water. For a prospect the Crescent Fraction looks Yery prom-, ising. "We are going to start on the Don Pedro in a few weeks. Work will be done on the tunnel aud later on another tunnel will be driven from the southeast." THB ANACONDA. The Anaconda, .owned by James McCreath and Charles Johnson, is being developed by the latter. Mr. Johnson is 'sinking a shaft which has reached a depth of eighteen feet. Con- siderable.surface_work_has_ been done also. Both Mr. McCreath and Mr. Johnson are very well pleased with the prospects, The surface work has revealed a four foot lead and silver- lead ore going as high as sixty dollars per ton has been taken out. This is considered very good for having come from so near the surface. Mr. Johnson states that the surface showings are better than anything in the vicinity of the- Anaconda. The ore vein runs to twelve inches wide. Work will be con? tinned more vigorously than ever before. The Sunnyside and Rattler, near the Auadouda, are also showing good indications, and the Future has turned out or��* going over thirty dollars per ton in gold. THE KDKKKA. Manager Herbert Hamlin of the Greenwood-Eureka Mining company, brought down a sack of ore last Tuesday afternoon which shows plenty of h*I?h j. rade values. No assays have been made, but the ore is undoubtedly very.rich. The development" work is going ahead most satisfactorily. No. 2 tunnel has penetrated a distance of about forty feet, which gives at the same time a depth of thirty feet. This is a feature of work at the Eureka that every foot added to the length of the tunnel gives nearly a foot in added depth. No 1 tunnel is in about seventy feet on the vein and the face is in nine inches of ledge well mineralized. Mr. Hamlin says he expects to encounter a body of ore very soon.

The report of the Greenwood post office for the year ending- June 30 has just been issued and wil 1 befound-on-anotherpag-eflt contains some interesting figures. In tlie sale of; stamps there has been an increase of 5404.84. This is a good indication of increasing business. The number of money orders paid shows a decrease,of 11. This should indicate that less business is being sent out and -;hat more people are patronizing home industry. It is surprising, however, to find that the amount of money sent out by money order and postal note has been increased by the remarkable sum of $6,923.40. This is all the more surprising when it is remembered there was a decrease iu the number sent out. The amount sent out by individuals is evident^* very largely increased. The foreign element is probably the most numerous patrons of the money order system. Large numbers of them "habitually send money to their families at home, either for their support or for the purpose of bringing them out to this country. From reliable sources it has been learned that the amount of money sent out for goods has probably decreased, and that local merchants are enjoying a fuller share of local business than ever before. This is gratifying to all concerned in the welfare of Green- BOUNDARY ORE TONNAGE.

CATCHING SMALL FISH Complaints have been * heard regarding the wanton waste of small fish by fishermen who habitually frequent the stretches of Boundary Creek. It appears that some are prompted by greed for a big catch to keep even the smallest of fish instead of returning them to the stream to live and grow and multiply their kind. Such a policy of wasteful fishing will sooner or later���probably sooner���exhaust the resources of Boundary creek and render it useless as a fishing stream. Such methods of obtaining large catches is contrary not only to the laws of good sport and common sense but is a direct violation of the statutes of British Columbia. In 1904 an, act was passed to amend the Game Protection (i.'Act of 1S9S and in section 5 it provides, "it Wal rbcfurilaw f u 1 ITinmf^iime~ifct take catch, kill or have in possession trout of any kind "or species under the size of six inches in length.'-' It will be seen therefore that anyone who is guilty of having in his possession trout of less than six inches in length is a criminal iu the eyes of the law and the penalty provided by the same act is a fine of not less than twenty dollars aud not more than fifty dollars for each offence or imprisonment. The provincial officers are the game wardens iu their districts and theyu are empowered to act according io the law set forth above. It is not the taking of one, two or even half a dozen small fish that will deplete the stock in Boundary creek but it is the waste ful, extravagant catches that will do the harm. No one who understands anything of the nature of the trout species and who unselfishly enjoys the sport they annually afford, or wbo has any respect for the laws of this province will continue to wantonly destroy young fish upon which defend the future suppy. A number of local devotees of the sport have resently been advocating the formation of a fishing club. Such an organization could do much towards keeping the Bound- arj- creek well stocked with trout and imforciug the laws against catching small fish. ROSSLAND CELEBRATION Greenwood Band Pleases the People��� Foulds Bros- Win. The miners' celebration in Rossland last Monday arid Tuesday was a splendid success. A large number of people were present from Greenwood, Nelson, Trail, Grand Forks, Phoenix and Nortliport. It was the eleventh anniversary of the fo'inditig- of the Ross- laud Miners' union, and that org-aniza- tion had charge of the arrangements. The program of sports included baseball, lacrosse, toot races, rock drilling contests "and many other attractions. In the rock .(iriiling contest Foulds brothers of Greenwood carried of. the prize. There were four entries in the drilling contest, and only the down hjles were drilled. Foulds brothers of Greenwood, in ten minutes, drilled 27 3-16 inches on the first day of the contest. On Tuesday the drilling was continued. The time allotted to each team was 10 minutes. Caesar Polesto and John Post drilled 12J. inches. Caesar Gillan and Bob Lennox exceeded that * distance by exactly one inch. The Foulds brothers made 12j_ inches. The distance drilled in the tip- holes was doubled and aridec- to the dis Ja_-c*4jJiatJJxe^ in the downward drilling on Monday This gave the Foulds brothers a total of 52 3-16 inches, entitling - theni to first money, and the Gillan-Leunox team, with a total of 48,^ inches, received second money. ���THK BAND PI.AYKD. The Greenwood band boys went over on a one day engaifeitieiit.-but the people were so well pleased with the entertainment jm-eu that thev persuaded the boys' to remain until the celebra tion was ended. The members of the band were all delightcl with the reception they got and are hearty in their praise of the Rossland people. Of their playing, the Kossland Miner says: '-Probably no other single feature of the day's entertainment gave more real enjoyment than did the music furnished by the Greenwood concert band and by the local band."

C. PROSPECTOR'S GUIDE (By A. Harry Hook, Assayer.) - This week the article is on "Xhic and ttsJO.res." During- the past year more interest lias been taken in zinc mines in British Columbia on account of the zincsmelter at Frank, Alberta. With the many improvements.;in the magnetic separation of zinc from lead ores, the future for zinc mining in this province is much brighter, and zinc will yet become one of the chief prod-f- ucts of the mines containing- zinc and lead. The next article will be on ���'Copper and Its Ores." Zin��, in the metallic condition, is a comparatively recent discovery. It is so volatile that il can only be obtained by distillation. The varieties of uses to. which , zinc is now applied arose from a discovery which; was made in regard to its malleability. When cold it is very brittle, but when. t.is he_ted to within a certain range of tempera j ture, from.210 degrees to 310 degrees 1 F., .it'becomes-quite malleable and may be rolled into thin sheets... Zinc, when ,..,r , , ---... -������-..������ It.often forms beds of considerable magnitude, filling cavities in limestone (just the same as galena). Sphalerite is a Greek word -ind means "treacher galena, yielded no lead. CALAMI!**]-*. Calamine, is a silicate of zinc, oxide 67.5 per cent, silica 2.S per i in.the form.of ingots or slabs, receives the trade mark of "spelter." This metal owes its popularity to its permanency, being impervious to the effects"of the weather, and is used iri the notable zinc industry called "galvanizing," that is, the coating of iron with a layer of zinc to prevent from rusting. . - It has a,bluish white-color and exhibits a rough crystalline fracture with a specific gravity of 7-7.2. At ordinary temperatures it is" brittle 'and can be pulverized." --. - CRNT.KGRADE. It fuses at 412 degrees and distils at about 1,000 degrees 'centegrade. If zinc is heated in the air it burns to ^2 z>"____���i_0_e_vyith a very._inteiise_..bl.uish��� white light. It also is very soluble in dilute acids, dissolving with liberation . ���* i ��� of hydrogen. ' 'Zinc forms an important constituent of many valuable alloys, such as brass, . babbitt and machinery alloys. . Common hard brass contains 55 per cent .inc and 45 per cent copper. Of the many salts of zinc the zinc oxide is the most important commercially. It is prepared by igniting the precipitated basic carbonate, and, as "zinc white," is employed as a stable white naint; which is gradually displacing "white lead" in the manufacture of paints. zinc ores (Sphalerite). ! Ore zinc blende, or black jack, as it is commonly called, is the principal zinc ore of British Columbia. It is brittle with a hardness of 3.5 4 and ���specific gravity of 3.9 4.1. It has a resinous to adamantine luster, and its common colors, yellow, brown and black, also red, green to white, arid when pure nearly colorless. Its streak, when scratched, is brownish to light -yellow and white. Sphalerite is coni-j posed of zinc 67 per cent, sulphur.33 ���per cent, aud often contains iron and manganese and sometimes cadmium, mercury and rar :ly lead and tin. It may contain either gold or silver. Its chief distinguishing feature is its restnous luster in all but the leep black .varieties. It is much softer than gar- . nel, and yields a zinc coating when , treated on charcoal with soda by blowpipe flame. This mineral occurs very commonly both in crystalline and ���, sedimentary rocks and is frequently- associated with galena, sometimes with . . chalcopyrite. barite, ilnorite, riderite f+jfj. and����is common in nearly, ail silver zinc cent aud water 7.5 per cent.

Next to the Victoria Hotel. In a recent inquiry regarding the merits of a certain member of the engineering' profession, we were asked what he had ever done to t.ive him a reputation, or with what prominent- enterprises he had been connected. .The. inquiry revealed two things worth noting, viz., the value of a reputation, and the fact that many genuinely ca pable engineers may remain in comparative obscurity for a part, if not all, of theircareer. v The possession of a.reputation,while valuable from almost all points of view, is noi always bona tide evidence of ability.; ii'ortniie has undoubtedly let the mantle' of popular favor and chance fall on some engineers, and subsequent events have proved them unworthy of the advantage thus gained over their fellows. Pc sitioiij relationship, money or acquaintance have at onetime or another made the oppor .tunity "that is.necessary to gain a reputation, when the absence of these would have -meant mediocre, success, and certainly no prominence. That the latter is sometimes mistak ?n for success and ability has been evidenced within the memory of most of us, and although the prominent man may fail; he nevertheless enjoys a certain con. tinuance'of patronage which is the result of popular favor. The causes which contribute toward keeping a good man in comparative obscurity are varied and numerous. One of these has formed the basis of comment in these columns in a;former issue. We have reference to the fact that the projects with which an en- gineeivmay be connected may be in the nature of what we have called post mortem examinations, the results Of misguided efforts of incompetent or Solid Oak ressers ZrNCITK. This mineral is the oxide of zinc. Zinc 80.3 per cent, oxygen 19.7 percent. Its hardness is 4-4.5, and specific grav- it3* 5.43-5.7.

The most that one could hope to do if constantly engaged in such work would be to assure himself that his work had been done so well that no one else had ever successfully gainsaid his judgment. So it happens that the .mgineer of reputation is not always the best, and that a good engineer may remain in the shadow, and apparently be surpassed by an inferior man.���Mining Reporter.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES PRINTING CO ���V 77��iW;7 BOUNDARY QREEM WEST FORK MINES Duncan Has Gobi Ore.���Crosscutting in trie Sally. The Duncan mine, on Wallace mountain, West Fork, from which a splendid specimen of silver ore was taken recently, continues to yield good results as the work progresses. The ore now being taken out is all spotted with native silver. Blansh-.rd Snyder, one of the local men interested, returned last Saturday from a trip of '- inspection and reports that six men are being kept at work sinking the winze on which progress is being made at the rate of two feet per day. The ore continues to hold as the win-'.e goes down, averaging twelve inches wide. The lead is from three to five feet wide and has been traced a distance of 1,200 feet in open cuts. There are apparently very few breaks and the outlook is most' encouraging. THR SAU.V,- The Sally is working five men under the direction of William Boyle. They, are now engaged in crosscutting from the main tunnel. About 100 feet have been opened up and it is the purpose of the management to continue until a 280 foot cut has been made. Surface measurements indicate that the ledge should be reached at that ooint. The cut"is following the break and some , very good ore has been taken out of the drag. The Carmi, which was being operated by E. H. Thruston, has been closed down. In speaking of his trip, Mr. Snyder made strong complaint regarding, the condition of the road between West- bridge and Beaverdel. He says they are full of holes from 12 to 18 inches deep, which render travel extremely hard and even dangerous. Two men have recently been put to work making repairs, but they are utterly unable to keep the' road. in decent shape, and conditions, instead of being improved are growing steadily worse. l-QBDO I LAUNDRY Will come back clean and smell as sweet as the flowers in May, if you send them to tlie GREENWOOD STEAM LAUNDRY CO.

When he does it he nearly always has the charge trade in mind. One Philadelphia retailer used newspaper space a whole year after beginning business to print smoothly worded, pleasant invitations to come in and look around. A special offer, he thought, would for ever bar him from the patronage of the elect. But in a year he woke up, began printing special offers daily, and in a short time had just the sort of trade he had been aiming at instead of hitting. Along with it came the rest of the public. Retail advertising must have substance to attract. The substance of good retail advertising is goods and prices���not social amenities or literary style. The thing that leads most retail advertisers to be reserved and pseudo- genteel iu advertising is, probably, an indefinite fear of offending. A cut price, a black figure, a strong advertising phrase���these, they imagine, would forever drive away shoppers in carriages. Hut this fear isn't well founded. -The charge customer whose name is on a store's books is likely lo be so horrified by the black prices and outrageous bargain offers of its competitor that she will go there to see if he is lying. Wrong goods may offend people. But it takes a lot of wrong advertising to do it.���Printers' Ink. THE MAN BEHIND. In almost every newspaper you pick up you are pretty sure to find a lot of gush about the man behind the counter and the man behind the gun, the man behind the buzzsaw and the man behind the sun, the man behind the times and the man behind his rents, the man behind the plowshare and the man behind the fence, the man behind the whiskers and the man behind hia fists, the man behind the kodak and the man behind the bars, and everything is entered on the list. But they've skipped anothar fellow, of whom nothing has been said���the fellow who is even or a little way ahead, who pays for what he gets, whose bills are alwavs signed. He's a blamed sight more important than the man who is behind. All the editor* and merchants and the whole commercial clan are indebted for existence to this honest fellow man. He keeps us all in business, and his town is never dead,.and so we take off our hats to the man who is ahead.���Judge. MINERAL ACT MINERAL ACT. Certificate of Improvements. NOTICE.

The local police magistrate had a busy time this week settling a rather important case of assault and battery on a charge laid by two Chinman, Lou Toy and Lou Dou against William Davids-oil and Harry Hazelwood of Phoeuix. The accused parties visited Grehn wood a we2k ago last Thursday night and wound up a night's fun by visiting the laundry run by the plaintiffs about 4:30 'Friday morning. , Here a scrap occurred which enr*.ed in the two chinamen receiving, more or less bodily injury, one of them showing on his face the marks of the encounter. The Phoenix men also suffered, Davidson especially for he: sustained a broken rib, several bruises on the body and legs and a battered foot. After the fracas the men returned to Phoeuix where they were arrested on Friday and brought to Greenwood and landed in the police station. On Saturday the case came up arid was adjourned till Monday the prisoners being given bail at $300 each. When, the case was resumed on Monday little could be done for want of a Chinese interpeter After proceeding as far as possible adjournment was again.made till Wednesday night at 7.30 . o'clock, at that sitting part of the evidence was taken and on Thursday morning court met again at 9 o'clock and after a three hour session the case was concluded.

Work will be commenced at once under the supervision of Henry Johnson. The mine is equipped with power plant and the necessary buildings to carry on the work. The Great Northern runs within four miles of the property and the ore can thus be handled to reasonable advantage. Considerable work was done some years ago, but owing to the difficulties encountered it was abandoned. The operations, however, disclosed considerable bodies of copper ore, and under the control of the new- bondholders will now be thoroughly prospected. MIDWAY & VERNON P. Burns & Co. Lose Valuable Herd of Beef Steers. "A bunch of 16 beef steers suddenly disappeared last week from the grazing grounds of P. Burns & Co., near their slaughter house across the national boundary line, several miles north of Molson,"says the Molson Independent. "Everything in connection with the disappearance of the steers points to a clear case of cattle hustling. One night last week two different parties report having met at midnight cowboys driving a band of cattle toward the B. C. interior, but further than that no trace of the alleged cattle th'eves or the cattle themselves have been found. A dozen of the steers belonged to J. A. Jackson, Burns' local manager. Mr. Jackson returned Wednesday from a trip to Greenwood with a bunch of sheep and at once instituted a search for the missing cattle. "Some .miscreant, evidently bent more on deviltry than pelf, entered the. camp of P. Burns & Co. last Monday night while all hands were asleep, and stole the singletrees from every blessed .wazon there." Inquiry was made at the local headquarters for Burns & Co.and theabove report verified. The lost cattle were .valued^at^fSOO^and^jvere^intended^to supply -neat for the railway camps on the V., V. & E. Harry Draper of ,Spokane,with his famous bloodhounds, "Sherlock and Holmes." has been engaged to track the cattle thieves, but so far no news has been received at the local office as to what success is being attained. The local office had not heard of the singletree escapade. BAND CONCERT ��#^����4tf#'����<'##��tf������*0����'#��������-i!f��*; B B B-.

SPOKANE FAIR Motorcycle racing is a new feature which will be introduced at the Spokane Interstate fair ttiis year. This is one of the most exciting and often one of the most dangerous of races. These bicycles, run bv gasoline,' are able to make much higher speed on a half mile tra* k than automobiles can do. They go round the fence at a terrific pace am if any accident occurs, the rider is in danger of being instantly killed. There were several intensely exciting motorcycle races'at the fair grounds in June during the meeting of the Northwest Athletic Association. One man made a mile in 1:34 minutes, which is exceedingly fast for a half mile track! Another man narrowly escaped injury -H.wa s^cro wded,=o n to_.he^outec=:f ence.- but he was going so rapidly that his wheel actually mounted the fence and he was leaning in so far, in making the curve, that he did ��not come.tn contact with the fence himself aud escaped injury. Moter cycling in this part of the country is newer, than aulomobiling and the racing is more exciting and more dangerous, but already a number of owners of machines in Spokane are inquiring about the race, aud probably ] vvill enter. ; HUMMINGBIRD GROUP The diamond drilling on the Hum mingbird group continues with g'atify- ing results.

In this hole andesite is encountered and all the conditions favorable for showing a repetition oi* what development has shown up on the Nickel Plate. The present hole is to be continued to a depth of, 550 feet, after which the drill will be moved further down the hill to verify data already ascertained as well as to demonstrate further conditions believed to exist.
