EVERYTHING PROSPERS A Review of tlie Camp and District Is Stimulating In Its Effect. - Trade Is Good. Greenwood business and outlook were never s--o good as today. There are those who sit under the shadow of our recent ten-day ��� strike and groan, but the fact cannot be disputed that the business condition is good. En- corragement is written on the face of everything. In real estate circles only, there is no activity, and even this is a matter of wonder, because rents are fairly good, little improved property is vacant and a steady demand exists for better cottages. .,-���->- The indusirial conditions about us are all good. Labor is busy at satisfactory wage, and no idle men are to be found.- The market for the district's only product is active and at steadily stiffening prices. The industries of the camp are all operative,: presumably on a sound basis. If the Granby during the year has been able to declare $1,620,000 dividends out of earnings, the other copper plants of the district working on just as good ore, and at no greater expense, must be making money too,even if hot declaring dividends. The B. C. Copper Co.'s plant is near- ing completion. The third furnace is now in commission and working smoothly: 'To meet the capacity demands of -1,800 tons daily of this plant the company is getting all of its properties into fine shipping order. The Mother L*ode pay roll is larger today than it was before the recent strike. The Dominion Copper Co. is forging ahead, enlarging and. bettering its plant, and in a few weeks will be handling 1.300 tons daily. The three large companies of the district will be mining and reducing nearly 6,000 tons daily in a short time, and placing a value of $5 on the ore, that means that 530,000 daily of earth wealth will be released from where it has been stowed for the ages, and made to minister to man. New and encouraging factors have entered-the^locaH_eld^recentlyr=7Iust west of town the Greyhound is making a bid for public notice? The property, long believed to be a mine, is daily being demonstrated as such. ! The Denoro and Emma and B. C. are employing a large number of men and that number must steadily grow if the latent possibilities of these great properties are to be released. On the Golconda the tunnel is being extended. In Central camp new elements are at work, and on the Oro the Hall Mines people are deepening the shaft, while the newly formed development syndicate is working on the Caberfae. But this steady enlargement of the circle of development in the low grades is equally noticeable in the high. They are all busy, the Providence, Prince Henry, Elkhorn, Strathmore, Crescent, Crescent Fraction, Skylark, Dynamo, Mavis, E. P. U., Bay and others, busy setting up machinery, sinking, drifting, stoping. Bonds have been recently taken on other properties, and still others are being sought after. The millions that the courageous ones put into the earth have germinated, and the fruits therefrom are beginning to fall into deserving hands. The year 1906 has been in every way most aatisfactory. A healthy condition has existed ia all lines of trade and today town aud district contain more ground for intelligent trust than ever before.

But the End Is Practically io Siffht. The Greenwood City Water Works company, which, by the way, is concerned in the lighting of the city, is making fair progress toward the completion of what will be an up-to-date plant. The name of the company, which is a misnomer, occurred in this wise. The company, of which Edward G. Warren is manager, acquired with the Boundary Falls power the old charter of the above name acquired by Robert Wood in 1897. This was found of great advantage in many ways, particularly in the acquisition of right of way privileges. Later on the name will probably be changed into one more in keeping with the purpose of the company, which is to give Greenwood a first-class lighting system. The company has spent a large amount of money in getting its plant installed, which, when completed, will be modern in every particular. A substantial dam Has been thrown across Boundary creek at the Falls, provided with every precaution against danger from logs or other drift. The power houseis 1,500 feet lower' down the canyon; Between the dam and the power house a 30-inch wood stave pipe, steel bound, is laid. An effective head of 133 feet is thus secured, affording a day and night average of 80 'horse power. The concrete and masonry dams and adjuncts are so built to allow of thecheight being increased if it be- become necessary7to impound more water than now provided for, which will be a million cubic feet daily. Over four tons of copper wire have been strung between the falls arid the city and the line is a first-class one. <��������� The plant, whose primary object is merely to light Greenwood ancl other valley points, is so arranged that additional power may be acquired from one of the big power companies, and, if necessary, the small mines about Greenwood may be served without any prejudice to the final obect of the company, the city lighting. ^^The" water "wheeirwhich" was"ordered~ on June 5th last, for delivery in 75 days, and is thus behind contract time, is at last on the way. By the time it arrives here everything else will be in completed condition. The city is thus encouraged to bear with equanimity its present rather poor light, assured that a remedy therefor is only to be had in the new plant, and that the day of brighter things will soon he here. GAME PRESERVE Congress of the United States has passed a bill setting aside a game preserve in the Olympics of Washington, containing 700,- 000 acres. The country has seen the American bison pass away, victims of man's lust to kill, and this step is now taken to preserve the greatest remaining herd of elks in the country. The Olympics are a natural game haunt, the best in the United States. In a few years here will be found the rival of Yellowstone Park for natural scenery and abundance of big game. IMMIGRANTS COMING Arrangements have been perfected between Hon. R. G. Tatlow, representing the provincial government, and Commissioner Coombes of the Salvation army, which will enable the latter to provide a large number of desirable immigrants for the province. The immigrants will begin to arrive during this winter, and a total of 2,000 is expected to come during 1907. m 7 ADDITIONAL LOCAL C. B. Bash is again in Greenwood, after an absence of several weeks in tbe Nicola country. The local Knights of Pythias will hold their annual ball in the Reliance block on New Year's night. A. S. Embree, for some time connected with the Dominion Copper Co., but now residing in Northport, is spending a few days in town. Mr. G. W.

The original idea being fulfilled, aud the fame of the company having traveled far beyond the confines of present action, the Roscians will broaden the scope of primary intentions, and invade new fields witlrthe same^splendid - company which has made the several Canadian tours artistically and financially successful.

Mr. Price, advance agent for the Great Mc.'/wen,who lias been in Greenwood _ for a few days past, was in a communicative mood today. ,He expressed himself as delighted with the patronage given his company here. Mr. Price has been coming into the Boundary for the C P. Walker company for several years, and notices great improvement in the appearance of the. Greenwood audiences. He spoke particularly of the improved order in the gallery here, as compared with prcvi.us years. He thinks thai Greenwood is making very steady, substantial progress and says the town has a good reputation in the east as'containing less hot air than many places. We are vain enough to print his complimentary reference to the Times when he said he thought no paper in the interior of British -Columbia compared with it in make up and material but the Cranbrook Herald, edited by old man Simpson, but he thought the Herald had a little the best of che comparison. He thinks there are few amusement managers to compare with Mr. Walker. In speaking of Walker's new theater in Winnipeg, he classed it as without a rival in Western Canada, and with only one in Chicago equal to it. , Of course, Mr. Price is a business man, and doubtless hot-airad us about our paper and the town, but then we wouldn't be expected to print it if it had been otherwise. His flattering words, however, were backed up by an order for 30,000 handbills, to be used elsewhere. Mr. Price is always a welcome visitor at the Times office, because he is always bright ond cheery, and his visits leave no depression. COAL LAND WITHDRAWN It is not wise that the nation should alienate its remaining coal lands. I have temporarily withdrawn from settlement all the lands which tbe geological survey has indicated as containing, or in all probability containing coal. The question, however, can be properly settled only by legislation, which in my judgment should provide for the withdrawal of these lands from sale or from entry, save in certain especial circumstance... The ownership would- then remain in the United States, which' should not, how ever, attempt to work them, bat permit them to be worked by private individuals under a royalty system, the government keeping such control as to permit it to see that no excessive price was charged consumers. It would, of course, be as necessary to supervise the rates charged by the common car riers to transport the product at the rates charged by those who mine it; and the supervision must extend to the conduct of the common carriers, so that they shall in no way favor one competitor at the expanse of another. The withdrawal of these coal lands would constitute a policy analagous to. that'which'has'-been^followed^in-withdrawing the forest lands from ordinary, settlement. The coal, like the forests, should be treated as the property of the public avd its disposal should be under conditions which would inure to the benefit of th 3 public as a whole.

Sitting iu the police court the other day, we witnessed the administration of an oath, which se& us thinking'. An unclean ttian, just from a cell, that doubtless was none too sauitary, was requested to kiss the Bible, which he did. Dozens of others, hundreds doubtless, scarcely any cleaner, many of them possibly less clean, had kissed the same book in the same spot, and many others will still kiss it. is this a cleanly habit, and if not, is it necessary to maintain the practice? There may be superstitious people to whom kissing the Bible is so impressive that they are constrained to tell the truth when they otherwise would not. But we think the number is few and tliat, the man who is going to give false evidence will do it as a rule as readily when it is accompanied -with this formality as without. Modern science is trying to cope with disease. Phi- lanthrophy and brotherhood are trying to alleviate and reduce the penalties of the white plague. And yet the administration of justice by this unclean aud pernicious pracLice is daily, hourly lending itself to the spread of disease. We substitute the electric chair for the hangman's rope to reduce the pain aud relieve the horror attaching to capital punishment, and yet we show less consideration to these who are felons. Those doomed to die we strive to relieve; those doomed to live we are careless about. We certainly have outgrown the sentiment that a declaration on honor is less sacred than one on lhe Bible, because a man who regards the Bible as a sacred bo'ik regards his honor as sacred loo, and with the man who regards neither as sacred, nothing is gained by the administration of a Book-kissed oath. These words are in no sense intended to be construed as a criticism in any way of the true worth of the book of all books, or an impugnment of the sensibilities of those who revere it. They are merely a criticism of a filthy practice maintained, not so much by the requir.ments of law as by the customs of the courts in the law's administration. It is, at the same time, respect for the Bible and regar.i for the welfare of man that prompts us to say that kissing the book is a custom that ought to be done away with. EDITORIAL NOTES In the public squares of Glasgow you will run across the "peoples' parliaments," the places where men congregate to discuss questions of the day���politics aud religion���and so in most small towns there are places like the grocery store at the cross roads, where men meet to discuss men and measures, but the worst of it is that generally both men and measures are interpreted in the worst light possible. Tl&e Permanent Style and Sfettpe cf -Semi-ready Garment! Brcxyone wants style in his clothes. Some men say they don't, but they are mistaken. Almost all ready-made clothing has ftyle in it. In fact, it is style that sells half the ordinary ready-made clothes. But there are two kinds of style��� surface style and through-and-through tailored style. There is as much differ- ���nce between them as there is between a wooden house painted to look like stone and a solid stone house. Surface-style is created principally In the pressing room���put in with the hot iron���it pleases you when you try it on, but after a couple of weeks w.ar it looks as if it had been drawn through a knot-hole. Our styles are designed by the acknowledged bast clothing designer in America. Semi-ready styles are right��� then we tailor them permanently. Semi-ready style is built from the foundation out. Every step in the construction is in the hands of expert tailors. The shoulders are permanently stitch - moulded into shape (._..��� the illustration), not pressed and shrunk by a hot iron only to sa^ out of shape after a little wear. Every part of every Semi-ready garment is stitched into permanent shape. If the least unevenness shows it is ripped and rt-atitched, not smoothed over with a hot iron. Every garment is passed by an expert as perfect iu shape beforo it goes to the pressers. Semi-ready fit is a certainty. Ou* plan of physique types cover every class of figure. Short stouts and tall stouts, sloping shoulders and over-erect, all variations of figure are provided for In the Semi-ready plan. These points give you style, fit and comfort now for wear. Every piece of cloth that comes into our tailorey has been selected at the mill by our cloth experts; before it is placed in stock it is tested by the most s .vere tests. Some cloth men say we are too severe, but we think not, for we put our reputation back of every thread of it when we sew the Semi- ready label in a garment. The silk-sewn seams, the carefully selected linings, the perfectly made button-holes, every little detail is carefully watched so as to make Semi-ready tailoring the best produced. You can see the style, fit and fitness of ��a. Semi-ready garment when you try it on���there is no guess work���and our guarantee covers any possible development. Next time you are thinking of clotheo drop in and see us���in j ustice to yourself, you should investigate our claims. 5��4 $emi-read;y* Tailoring P. W. GEORGE & CO. The railroads that are making more millions than ever confess their inability to supply cars enough to haul coal sufficient to keep the people of the country warm. Fourteen dollars a ton for coal in Seattle, and at tliat not enough obtainable to keep the fires going. And yet there are ccal mines on all sides of the city. We wonder if such things ought to be. The foolishness of the parent who surrounds his child with indolence and luxury to his inevitable undoing, and then strives to reform him, is like the governtlent which makes laws that create giant evils and then strives to reform that evil by remedial legislation. We trust that the talk of possible war between the United States and Japan has no foundation in fact. Where would Britain find herself in such an emergency, with a blood alliance on one hand and a treaty obligation on the other. The tariff has been adjusted, reduced fti instances, and the free list has been increased, but how much more tobacco will you get for a quarter, or how much less will a dozen cans of corn or, a pound of tea cost?

THE CANADIAN OF CO Greenwood differs from most places if the man who has a mine doesn't think he has a good one, and the one who doesn't have believes his neighbor's is any good anyway. Make sure of a clean shirt before you burn up the soiled one. Now, let no wag paraphrase that to read make sure of timber for a' new bridge before you tear down the old. ���' Although an optimistic view of things is good for both individual and community, it is. wonderful how few like to look on the bright side of things at home. We are very apt to be ourselves just what we think our neighbors to be. Doubt is born of the devil and a want of faith in humanity is the verv essence of untruth. Like the man who is going to reform, the Midway & Vernon is going to build some day. But an evil agency prevents any show of progress iu either direction. The boom and brightness always seem to apply to the place where we don't happen to be, so deceptive are the glasses throngh which we best like to look. Did you ever stop to think that while gold scales would weigh your kindly thoughts and utter- jances, it wouldtake a hay ^cale for your unhappy ones!!

Bandfair on Tuesday evening last, at the Auditorium, uuder tbe auspices of the Greenwood Concert Band, was au immense success. A fine assortment of beautiful! things had been contributed for the event and these had been tastefully arranged around the hall. During the evening a lively market therein prevailed. In one corner about 50 sofa pillows, ranging in value from $5 to $15, were tastefully placed and spoke volumes at once for the artistic qualities and the generous instincts of the donors. A candy booth raked in a great many shekels, and a bean guessing contest netted a great many quarters. A substantial meal of brown bread and beans, with lots of trimmings of salads and sweets, was served for a quarter, and the fair waitresses were kept busy for"several hours gratifying the appetites of the patrons of this attractive feature. The speculative spirit ran high and everybody bought chances for everything that came along. During the evening the band played choice music at intervals, and everybody appeared to have a good time. That so deserving a cause was so generously patronized, and so successfully carried out, is matter of congratulation. LADY POINTS THE MORAL '.2 - 5^x* r?_i-__>. .-i_3__ _&_J6_-A^-BSV Experience of a Prominent M. P. in Buying ClottieS, T. P. O'Connor, M. P., who is very fond of experiments and chances of all kinds, entered a small London draper's shop in Chelsea and ordered himself a suit of tweed The result was a suit with delicate feminine touch everywhere perceptible���particularly in a low-necked coat. The only person benefitted by the transaction was the draper. And his wife, who tells the tale, also points the moral, "Misfits and cheap materials are always uneconomical." With excellent materials, chosen with taste, the Semi-ready tailaring has captured the fancy of men who a few years ago, would have scoffed at the idea of wearing a suit of clothes made the way on.; formerly had shoes custom made. One can buy five widths in shoes and 175 styles���all fitting better than custom made shoes, and the Semi-ready tailoring idea is divided into physique types, subdivided into forms, and again into sizes. P. W. George & Co. will be pleased to show you how what "Semi-r.ady" tailoring profits the wearer.

The Great McEwen gave the people of Gieenwood two good entertainments this week. His card tricks, his deeds of magic^and his mesmeric feats were a wonder and a delight. They are all doubtless explainable, but they transcend ordinary intelligence. To make people think they see things they don't see, and to hear things they don't hear, and feel things they don't feel, is simply the result of the action of one mind on another, but the trunk trick must come under some other category. To substitute a lady for a gentlemau in a trunk locked and bound in every direction by ropes tied by a committee from the audience, and all in the soace of six seconds, was a trick that everybody was at sea on. All that may be said is that McEwen does the tricks and the people do the wondering and the laughing. Gold and Silver Mountings.

STEVENS Editor and Publisher. 453 Postoffice Block, Houghton, Michigan. TOOK CARBOLIC ACID Close Call fora Lovelorn Ma den in the Nicola Valley. Coutlee, Dec. 6.���This part of the Nicola valley was thrown into a state of excitement by a series of sensational incidents iu which Miss May, daughtet of a prominent citizen, R C. Campbell- Johnston, M. E., was foiled first in an attempt to elope, and later to commit suicide. The family at present is residing at Forksdale, about two miles above here. Johnny Chapman, a respectable young man, lives at Lower Nicola- four miles below here. The family of Mr. Campbell- Johnston <- resided last summer at Lower Nicola. V. hilesojourning in that pretty burg Miss Campbell-Johnston and Mr. Chapman met frequently in the daily intercourse of the social life of the village, and the usual result followed, Cupid lodging his winged shaft through two youthful hearts. But the course of true love does not run any more smoothly in the Nicola valley than elsewhere, and the big obstacle in this case was Papa Campbell-Johnston, who was no inconsiderable factor, being a man of six feet and powerful in build. But love laughs at locks and keys and parental wrath in Nicola valley also, as elsewhere, and Mr. Chapman determined to possess his ladylove without papa's consent if he could not haue it, so he started for the government agent's office at Nicola, where he intended to secure a marriage license. WARNING HAD BEEN GIVEN. But it is said that Mr. Campbell- Johnston, anticipating his intention, had telephoned down to the agent not to issue a license. Miss Campbell- Johnstone is a few days over 18, but does no"- look to be that age. However, Mr. Chapman, when he found he could not get the license, turned and rode back to Lower ,Nicola, twelve miles away. Meantime a messenger rode hotfoot from Nicola to Forksdale and warned the irate parent of John's movements. Papa is said to have sworn to shoot young Chapman on sight, and Miss May, fearing for her lover's life, cut through the fields, crossed the Cold- water bridge and fled down the track to Coutlee. Here she frantically begged for a horse and saddle, aud barring the saddle, a horse at any rate. Miss Campbell-Johnston is known in the valley as a daring rider, and had she secured a c?_yuse, she would undoubtedly have won the race. But, alas, there was no available horse at Coutlee. Mrs. Richards tried to reason with and soothe the excited girl, who was hysterical with fright and terror for the life of her lover, but she started down the road to Lower Nicola on foot. GIRL WAS OVERTAKEN. But Nemesis mounted will' catch the flying fee. of love, no matter how ardent, no matter how the anguished heart burns to reach its goal, and Nemesis in the^forms of Walter Clark, provincial constable, and Johnny Murray of Nicola, well mounted, overtook the fleeing girl at the springs, a mile below Coutlee,wh?rethey wete speedily joined-by��� papa,-bareheaded^and-run- ning on foot. The half fainting maiden was placed on one of the horses and taken back to her home at Forksdale. She immediately repaired to her bedroom and a few minutes later the horrible discovery was made that in her half demented condition of excitement anil hysteria she had swallowed the contents of a bottle containing carbolic acid. Swift running messengers quickly summoned Dr R. H. Iv. Ker from tbe construclion hospital camp, and Dr. Tuthill from Nicola, the former arriving first. After two hours of desperate work on the part of the doctors, Miss Campbell- Johnston was pronounced out ofdanger The young man has gone to Vancouver. His prospective father-in-law formerly resided in the Sloean and Boundary districts. POLITICAL GOSSIP V_erot--A, Dec. 8.���On the authority of one of the ministers of the British Columbia government, it may be said that there is only a microscopic possibility and not the slightest probability of an immediate dissolution of the legislature and appeal tothe country. Both will come, according to present expectations, during the summer of 1907���the election about the middle of July. "There is no earthly reason for an immediate dissolution and the disturbance of p"'jvinc!_l business conditions by a premature eleetion," said a very prominent member of the house in close touch with the government, to your correspondent. "I don't imagine that anyone seriously thought of such a. thing, although some of the newspapers printed the 'news' with big headlines to keep alive a .s.mWanc.* of p.">-:tical activity. The natural life of the present parliament does not end until November next. The business ol: the country is going on smoothly ancl with little bona fide complaint from the country. The only excuse there could have been for an election just now was the better terms issue, which Pr. mier McBrice might possibly h,ive made capital of had he so wished, and gone to the country im mediately after his return from Ottawa. That he di I not do so is sufFicieiitcontradiction in itself of the charge that he is trying to nake apolitical issue out of a non-partisan public question upon which then- are no major differences of upiniou in the province. You may sot it clown as certain that there will be no election until after another session���which may very possibly open on Thursday, January 10. For no government in its senses would miss the opportunity of taking full credit ou the floor of the house for the splendid surplus that Finance'Minister Tatlow will be able to announce in his next budget���the largest surplus in Brilish Columbia's history and one making passible some very considerable expenditures ou necessary and reproductive public works in ail parts of the province before the people are called upon to judge the present administration upon its record. This surplus is, of course, to a large extent attributable to the rapid growth of timoer revenues, which far outrun the estimates, supplemented by the proceeds of laud sale, notably at Point Grey, which alone brought more than half a million to the treasury. Do you suppose any government would miss the chance of presenting such a surplus showing to the house and country by precipitating an election with nothing to be gained? The really spectacular feature of the next election when it does come, is promised by the gossips to be found in the position of Mr. Joseph Martin. That Mr. Martin will again be in the field seems generally understood. And it is given credence, at the capital that he will make his re-entry as a leader of a new party���the fifth organized element in the campaign. The prophets have even gone so far as to select. Mr. Martin's ticket for him in Vancouver, and to announce that it will consist of Joseph Marthi, Frederick Buscombe, John MacMillau, Hugh B. Gilmour and R. Turnbull.���Dailv News.

Park, who firs-.: became interested in the Ashcroft district through an article appearing in the Journal giving a description of some of the copper resources of thin section, has devoted the past week to an inspection of these deposits. He is. very much impressed with what hi- saw, and it is within the bounds of possibility that he may acquire some oi the properties held locally. The lateness of the season has prevented him from making a thorough inspection of the 01 e bodies now being exposed. He will, however, make this point his goal in the early spring. The ore occurrences up Highland valley have interested him very deeply and he sincerely regrets that he had not known of the ore bodies here three or four months ago. Mr. Park is a man of very large experience and his opinion of such of the district as he has been able to see are corroborative of the claims of the Journal that this district is likely to prove one of the moist valuable copper camps of Canada. THE -KANT. Chesaw���A great chauge in the condition of affairs has taken place in Chesaw during the past few weeks. Stimulated by the completion of the Gieat Northern into this section of the country, and the purchase of the Grant copper mines on Copper mountain by Boundary capitalists, together with the establishment of a steady cash grain market here for all grain raised in the Chesaw country, the people in all lines show marked signs of the prosperity for which they have been waiting for years. The owners of mining claims iu this district are bustling about getting their assessment work done, rejoicing over the fact that practical mining men of prominence have at last recog nized the good merits of Myers creek mining district by .buying up claims in $40,000 chunks and negotiating for more. RICH EUREKA. Sandon���The Consolidated Mining and Smelting company of Canada- have in the Eureka, which is two miles from town, a property which has all the ear marks of a big mine.

An upraise to join this winze and connect with No. 3 hvs been begun, and there is four feet of solid shipping ore for the distance of 50 feet which has been driven. WISE POWDERS.

MINING IN JAPAN Mining interests in Japan are multiplying at a rate which suggests ___- creased prosperity in the near future. It is officially reported that about 2 p*er cent of the total superficial area of the Japanese empire, excepting Formosa and Saghalien, is being prospected. The copper output is growing rapidVy, giving Japan fourth place among the producing countries. In coal production Japan has jumped to the eigh-th rank, and in petroleum it now occupies fifth place. As a producer of sulphur this country ranks next to Sicily amd the United States. I^ast year Japan's mineral production wasvalued at about $38,000,000, while- exports were nearly $16,000,000. In short, there is reason to believe the mining industry of the Mikado kingdom will show substantial development, as many of its technical men are putting into practice the knowledge they have gained while visiting the United States and Europe. .

Irritation, swelling, cracks or scaling roughness round about the knuck'es and the back of the hand are serious, and the greatest promptitude should be exercised in treating wilh Zam-Buk. The affected part should be cleaned of any dirt Then gently anoint with Zam-Buk, smearing with the fingers or spreading on clean linen. Zam-Buk will soothe the irritation, and finally completely end lhe inflammation and pain. Swellings will go down, and over the raw surfaces Zam- Buk will GROW NEW HEALTHY SKIN.

POSTAL FACILITIES Parcels up to five pounds in weight, and with a size limit of thirty i..che_ in length and one foot in width and depth, are now handled by the postal service of the dominion. The further extension of the work of the post office department to include a postal express, service for the prompt handling of miscellaneous parcels will be in line with the development of the postal service which has gone on steadily since the Liberal government tool- office at Ottawa, enlarging- its usefulness to the public in many ways. It will be a natural extension of the governmental service already carried on by the post office department. It will not necessitate thectealion of new machinery, nor the organization of a new force of public service empkyees. There can be no question of the public aatisfaction with this promised estab. liohment of an added public utility. CONVINCING TESTIMONY Mrs. H. H.

Wilson, sexton of, the Church of Messiah, Toronto, and living at 63 Wickson avenue, has recently told a press representative how Bileans cured him of chronic biliousness, dizziness and liver troubles. Mr. Wilson says: "Practically from boyhood I have suffered from biliousness and liver anl stomach troubles, and only recently I was cured by Bileans. After eating food I would have acute pain until I vomited. Headache troubled me very much, sometimes so bad that I could hardly see. At other times there would seem to be a rush of something to my head. I should turn dizzy and I have even fallen down in the street. The biliousness was so bad that for long periods at a time I have -.been-unable_to_take_food,^Bileans_\yere recommended to me, and I gave them a fair trial. To my delight they were equal to my case, and after a short course they cured me completely. 1 now enjoy the best of health, and am free entirely from the ailments which caused me such acute suffering for so long. Bileans are worth their weight in gold," Bileans are altogether different to ordinary medicine. They are compounded from vegetable essences and are free from alcohol, bismuth, mercury, or any of the harmful mineral ingredients and-poisons found in so n��any liver and stomach remedies. They have the support of many eminent scientists and' are frequently prescribed as a cure for constipation, piles and stomach, liver and intestinal diseases generally. They also cure female ailments and irregularities, headache, debility, dizzy spells, heartburn, palpitation, heat flushes, etc. As a general tonic they are unequalled as a family remedy. All druggists sell them at SO cents a box, or post free from the Bilean Co., Toronto, upon receipt of price. Six boxes for S2..S0. ALBERTA'S FORESIGHT The Alberta government does not make much noise, but it keeps on doing things. It has a telephone policy, which has no resemblance, however, to the Roblin government's scheme. The Alberta government, having decided that publicly owned telephones were desirable, has begun, without ostentation or any fuss and feathers, to build telephone.lines.^ Ti'he.first line-isnow actually under construction between Calgary and Banff; and the second line between Edmonton and Iyloydminster is to be begun in the near future. Other lines are to be built as speedily as possible; and later they will be linked together.

PAY ORE COLUMN The Sally, of Beaverdell, is shipping* another car of ore. Going down, down, down, and all the way on ore in the Crescent. Only about 25 feet remain to be completed on tlie Prince Henry contract. ' The E. P. U. tunnel is now in about 216 feet. The formation is changing, granite coming in. The Golconda tunnel contract nears completion. Will it-reach the ore body? Everybody hopes so. How does this sound? An assay value of $2,901.40 per ton for quite a percentage of the recent car shipment from the Mavis. The Skylark, at the bottom of its new shaft, has struck the ore body, the diamond drill having located the vein rich and strong. Between this and the end of the year the Skylark will ship three cars of ore, one of first to Nelson and two of second to the Granb}*. The tunnel being run on the Rambler at Beaverdell, to catch the ore at greater depth, encountered the lead at the point expected a hundred feet from the portal. A fine new rawhide trail has been completed down Dry creek, and ore shipping will be resumed in the near future. Harry H. Shallenberger,. manager of the Alliance Gold Mining company, with headquarters at Minneapolis, placed an order Wednesday last with E. G. Warren for a 20-horseppwer electric Denyer hoist. The hoist is to be delivered March 1st. Work will be started on the company's property, the Moreen, in Deadwood camp, on February 1st, next, and things gotten in order for the plant's installation. The company will put a compressor on the property in the early spring and vigorously prosecute develop ment. ���� Try This for Youf Cough. To relieve a cough or break up a cold in twenty-four hours, the following simple formula, the" ingredients of which can be obtained of any good prescription druggist at small cost, is all that will be required: Virgiu Oil of Pine (Pure), one-half ounce; Glycerine, two ounces; good Whisky, a half pint. Shake well and take in teaspcon* ful doses every four hours. Thedesited results caa not be obtained unless the ingredients are pbre. It is therefore better to purchase the ingredients separately and prepare the mixture yourself. Virgin Oil ot Pine (Pure) should be purchased in the original half ounce vials, which druggists buy for dispensing. Each vial is securely sealed in a round wooden cas�� which protects the Oil irom exposure to light. Around the wooden case is an engraved wrapper with the name���"Virgin Oil of Pme (Purey''7^plainly printed thereon. There are many imitations and cheap productions of Pine, but these only create nausea, and.never effect the desired results, 11-24 THE B.'C PERMANENT The B. C.

Title | Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1906-12-14 |
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. |
