C TO REINCORPORATE Put tlie Wisconsin Mines, Inc., on an Assessable Plan. A. H. STEELE GOING TO SPOKANE Wisconsin Adjoins the War Eaele. Which Is Showing Up Well-Chesaw Is Prosperous. Superintendent A. H. Steele, of the Wisconsin mines, incorporated, arrived in the city yesterday from Chesaw. He is on his way to Spokane to meet the directors of the company to talk over a proposition that is now on foot to re-incorporate the Wisconsin mines under an assessable plan. When seen last night by a Times representative at the Hotel Armstrong, Mr. Steele said he had no definite hews for publication. He said that he had been in correspondence with the company and hoped that some agreement may be made to obtain sufficient funds to resume the development of the property, which had been shut off, for the lack of, same, since the end of last year. ' ;. . RICH vWAE. EAGLE. Speaking of the Myers Creek camp and trie development now going on, he cold the redorter that there was considerable prospecting and assessment work being done on a number of claims over there. On the War Eagle, which sidelines to the west with the Wisconsin claims, he, reports that the ore being crosscut at the 100-foot level was rich. It is a quartz, carrying considerable galena. The gold values being found in the lead. Values were had from $5 up to the thousands. The development of the War Eagle is making the Wisconsin a valuable piece of -property. The War Eagle shaft was sunk Only ��� 75 feet from the west side line of the Wisconsin. It is down 100 feet, in a limey quartz ore. At this depth a crosscut was run northwest for .10 feet, but went put of the-ore. 7-Thea the miners'started a crosscut, practically due east towards 'the Wisconsin ground. It is now in 35 feet, with a splendid showing. Mr. Steele is -*"���' ��he opinion; that. the apex of the ledge is on the 1 Hack Hawk claim, the south extension of the Wisconsin, and owned by his company. From the develop- ment.of the War Eagle every indication would point to the fact that the Wisconsin aiso has the ledge. CHESAW GROWING. Mr. Steele has just completed his assessments on the Helen group, on the west slope of Percy mountain, and on the Alta, a claim lying to the east of the Wisconsin. -He reports that both properties have good ore bodies and promise weil on further development. Chesaw,. he says, still continues to grow. There, is a large amount of building going ori in that lively burg, and the coming spring, with the opening of the north half of the Colville Indian reservation to homestead settle- , F.

The Wiarton is owned by a Spokane company in which C. D. .Rand, the well known mining broker, is a large owner and was the chief promoter. Considerable of the stock is held in Ontario. The Fontenoy is largely controlled by the Dunsmuirs of Victoria. It is" just about a year since Dr. J. F. Reddy of Spokane secured the claim from Hughie Cameron and turned it over to the Fontenoy company. The Waterloo, the only one of the three properties now being developed, is also owned by a Spokane company. The stock is widely scattered* Whether the originators of the idea will be able to accomplish the object of an amalgamation it is difficult to say; the hardest part would be the gathering in of the different interests which are already widely scattered. One big company, backed by ample capital, would in short order place the group on a dividend-paying basis. THE LONE STAR COMPANY A SUCCESSFUL PROMOTION The promotion of the Lone Star Mining company has been most successful. Thomas McDonnell, of the firm of McEntire, McDonnell & Co., today informed the Times that already 100,000 shares of promoter's shares had been placed in this city alone at 1% cents per share. The capitalization of the proposed company will be about 3250,000, in 1,000,000 shares at the par lue of 25 cents per share. Of this number of shares 200,000 will be set apart for treasury purposes. WILL CLOSE DOWN The Waterloo Not Crushin* for Want of Water. STILL ANOTHER GOLD BRICK Broueht Down t>y Superintendent Graham��� Motes of the Development Going on in Camp. Thomas Graham, superintendent of the Waterloo mine, in Camp McKinney, arrived in the city on yesterday afternoon's stage. He brought down with him a small gold brick, the clean-up of less than a week's run. The mill has stopped crushing ore as the water ditches have frozen up solid. Superintendent Graham reports extreme cold weather in camp, it having been down to 21 degrees below zero. Until the weather moderates the mill will be idle. y] CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT. This, however,' has not prevented continuing the development of the Waterloo. The west drift on the 65-foot level is in 260 feet, with a full breast of ore, there is yet 95 feet of drifting to be done to get at a point under the old No. 1 shaft. Here they are 120 feet below the collar of the shaft. This shaft was sunk 57 feet, so that it will require 63 feet of a raise to make the connection. As has already been told in the Times, it ip, the intention of the management to make this their main working shaft. This will give ample space for dumping ground and building ore bins. A new tramway will also be constructed to carry the ore to the mill, a. distance' of 300 feet. As soon as this work is completed the shaft would be continued on down and other levels opened up. ON OTHER MINES. The lO^-stamp mill on the Minnehaha is working night and day. There is plenty of ore on hand and in sight to maintain a7 steady crushing. Mr. Graham also stated that the Kamloops ha'd. struck their ledge in .the crosscut., at the lOO-foot level. The Sailor has ' also started to crosscut on the 150-foot level. On the Mammoth the work consists of pushing the tunnel in on the ledge, they have good ore that averages well. ���*, The Dayton has been the talk of the camp and from surface indications, which are exceptionally rich, there is little doubt but that it will turn out to be a big property. The superintendent may probably- go to Spokane in a day or two. He would not deny or confirm the recent rumor regarding his company acquiring additional property in the immediate vicinity of the Waterloo. TELLS OF THE MINES. Paul Johnson Estimates the Output of the Boundary. Paul Johnson is enthusiastic over the future of Greenwood and the mining "districts���immediately-adjacent, says the Tribune of Nelson. His enthusiasm is based on the fact that within nine or ten miles of Greenwood are the following-named mines: Mother Lode, Sunset, Buckhorn, Morrison, Greyhound, Last Chance, Old Ironsides, Knob Hill, Brooklyn, Stemwinder, Tamarac, Gold Rock, Ivanhoe, Golden Crown, Winnipeg, No. 7, City of Paris, B. C, Oro Donoro, Emma and Jewel. Many of these mines are now in a position to ship ore to smelters and are all fairly well developed. Asked for a conservative estimate of the probable daily output for shipment, Mr. Johnson replied, that the above named mines should be shipping one thousand tons a day before the end of the year. As every ton of the ore will be treated at local smelters. British Columbia will get the full benefit of the 75 per cent of the value of the ore which will go to pay the expenses of mining and smelting. This means that S7,5O0 a day will be distributed in the neighborhood of Greenwood, or nearly $3,000,000 a year. This does not seem an extravagent statement, and the Tribune hopes that Paul Johnson has called the turn in declaring that Greenwood will be the largest city in the interior. On returning to Greenwood Mr. Johnson will remain -five or six weeks, when he expects to make a trip to Europe to bring Mrs. Johnson and the children. Don't wait until prices of lots advance in DeadwOOl and then be telling your friends that you could have bought them at from S100 to $150. The Dayton, in C.unp McKinney, will be developed by an incline shaft. In size it will be 8x4)4 feet in the clear. The shaft is already down 15 feet, and the standard of the ore appears to be just as rich as found on the surface. Six men are employed and nother shift will be put on this week, THE GREENWOOD WiEOEJKLY TIMES.- (UeeUlv Cimes. PTBLJSHED BY The Greenwood Times Printing and Publishing Company, Limited. Duncan Ross Editor. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1900. MUNICIPAL, IMPROVEMENTS. The installation and operation of the electric lighting plant in this city is a matter of congratulation. It adds one more important industry and advances the city one step further in the municipal improvements march. Good lighting, wholly apart from its immediate benefits, is one of the best advertisements a city can have. It is a thing which immediately attracts attention, and the absence of which is always sure to provoke adverse comment. It should lessen the danger from fire very considerably by doing away with many of the coal oil lamps now being used. It should also increase the efficiency of our local police and render their duties less difficult, for crime is always less prevalent in a well lighted place on the principle that darkness is a cover for deeds of vior lence. The next municipal improvement demanding attention is one which is already been partly considered and one which is for the corporation itself to take in hand rather than in any private citizen or company. We refer to a sewage system. Only a sanitary engineer is .competent to say what system is best adapted for this or any Other place, but it is, we think, pretty generally .conceded that for a place located as this city is, the proper plan is to adopt the sceptic tank system. With a growing population the need of immediate action is imperative. The coming summer will be an important one in our history. Railway communication. will result in a constant influx of people desirous of making this their home or headquarters, and one of the first things people consider in looking for a place to settle is the question of sewerage. There will be a good deal of building, too, this year, and it is of the first importance to us all that the new buildings to be erected should in the first place be adapted to a sewerage system; Another reason for present action is that it is easier in a new town to lay out a proper drainage system than it is in an old one, and the sooner we undertake a solution of the problem the cheaper it will be. Ori the score of economy threre is a great deal to be said. It would cost us less to sewer the city than the expense and loss of one epidemic of typhoid or scarlet fever or diphtheria. Yet, as things are now, if any of these dread diseases become rampant, the situation would be serious. We do not say this with the view to creating alarm, but as a matter of duty to urge the prompt consideration of the subject. No matter how soon the local authorities act, it must necessarily be some "little time "before "the-plans to-be for-, mulated can be adopted. Under the Provincial Health Act, the authorities of every municipal corporation contemplating the adoption of a sewerage system must submit all plans aud specifications to the Provincial Board of Health for approval, and it is declared unlawful for the corporation to go ahead with the work without having first obtained a certificate from the Provincial board. The object of these provisions is to maintain the water courses, rivers, lakes and water supplies generally from pollution. In consequence, when the local authorities have done their part there will be some delay waiting for the decision of the Provincial board, and if steps were taken at once to do our portion of the work it is altogether likely that it would be well towards the autumn before the undertaking could be completed. This makes it all the more necessary 1 hat prompt action should be taken, and we express the hope that there will be no further delav. a unanimous court of appeal decided that the wife could not be compelled to live with a husband if she did not wish to, and thus was one of the good old beliefs cruelly exploded. And now has come another judicial decision, also far reaching in its effect and exploding another cherished idea. The saintly person of a chief justi-e of one of Her Majesty's supreme couits was ridiculously caricatured in a newspaper of which one St. Aubyn was the local agent, and St. Aubyn, without knowing anything about the libellous matter, distributed several copies of the paper. The chief justice thereupon had Mr. St. Aubyn up for contempt of court and sent him to the common jail for 14 days. Even after this summary punishment, the newspaper man had the audacity to appeal to the judges of the privy council in England. Their lordships decided without difficulty that the chief justice of the lower court was too thin skinned, that if he had any real troubles he should "tell them to a policeman" (we do not quote from the j udgment) or resort to an action at civil law, or take criminal proceedings for libel just the same as any ordinary, every day man, or in other words, that there is no such special divinity about a judge that the law will punish a contempt of his distinguished person by committal for contempt. It is pointed out that committal for contempt is a weapon to be used sparingly "and always with reference to the administration of justice." In short, that it is the court that is sacred and not the person of the judge. And for the first time it" is distinctly laid down as a legal proposition that when a trial has taken place and a case is over, both jury and judge are given over to public criticism as well by the newspapers as by the public. We may remark upon this as a distinct gain for civilization. farmer is not blessed with too much wealth these days, b it the Tacoma News thinks differently. It criticises Speaker Forster for not buying his gown and suggests that he should buy his own clothes, as he is the wealthiest man in the house. He was elected speaker because of his great wealth. Such is fame! It required the enterprise of an American newspaper to turn plain Tom Forster into a bloated capitalist. �� THE OTHER SIDE OF WAR. THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING. A NEW DEPARTURE. The hall mark of civilization is beginning to be fairly well impressed upon the judicial decisions of the highest courts of the land. A few years ago a curious case arose out of the domestic troubles of a husband and wife brought about directly by the wife leaving her lord and master and refusing point blank to return to him. The husband then attempted to invoke that ancient doctrine of matrimonial bliss which makes the " man of the house" the lawful custodian " of his weaker partner, allowing him even, in cases of necessity whereof he was the judge, to inflict summary chastisement. But Canada has now a keener realization of the terrible effects of war. It was with feelings of joy that she offered her sons to the Empire, scarcely appreciating the gravity of her action. The sacrifice of some of her bravest sons at Modder river forcibly-reminds this country that there is something more in war than an opportunity to show the extreme loyalty of Canada towards the mother land. That is the sweet side of war, but there is^more bitter than sweet and Canada is beginning to taste the bitter. It will not dampen the enthusiasm of her people, nor make them less loyal or devoted to the mother land. There will be just as many volunteers as ever; just as many ready to go the front if needed, but there will be fewer meetings passing resolutions to send 10,000 men as if they were $10,000. The merit of Canada's act lay in the fact thai her sons volunteered when the call came, not in noise made by the orators at mass meetings. THE SIM1LKAWIEEN. J. ..EAL. J. WA.Tr Q I 1 e ��� ��� ��� EDITORIAL NOTES. . Mr. Rudyard Kipling's story under the above caption has a moral in it that might have an application to the case of Mr. Joseph Martin in British Columbia. Mr. Martin jis undoubtedly a man of some ability; but his ability runs in streaks. He has been able to force his way up to some of the most I prominent positions in the land; once near the top of the tree his peculiar talent for getting- 'himself and all others connected with him into trouble begets difficulties which have invariably resulted in his. complete downfall. It was so in Manitoba, it was so in Ottawa, and we know of our own experience of his career in British Columbia. If we were asked to define as nearly as possible the exact cause of Mr. Martin's failures, we think we would be coming fairly close to the mark by saying that he wants to be the dictator. He is the man who would be king.' Nothing less will satisfy him. This is the point at which Mr. Martin's judgment forsakes him. Canadians do not want a king. The people have. a deep-rooted conviction that the popular government for which their forefathers fought is the kind of government they want, .and the'man who thinks he can ride roughshod over the people will always get into trouble. There is, moreover, no part of Canada, perhaps, where the people want a king less than they do in British Columbia. Our people are freer and and less restrained in thought and conviction than in some of the older and more settled parts of the Dominion. They have ��� ideas of their own, ambitions for themselves and their province, and a pride, or perhaps it is self-conceit which revolts at the idea of any one or two men taking them by their noses, as it were, and leading them around. Therefore, " the mau who would be king" gets into trouble, and finds himself like Mr. Martin has found himself, discredited by everyone. If Mr. Joseph Martin's fate "has the effect of impressing upon others of our legislators, or would-be legislators, a lesson along the lines indicated, his meteoric career in this province will have at least one good effect. We may be permitted once more to repeat: We don't want any king and we won't have any king. Anyone who wants to be a king better tackle some of the tribes in Central India.

The American newspaper is full of enterprise. It might have a higher regard for facts, but if fiction is more interesting facts are sidetracked. Recently the Tacoma News referred editorially to Thomas Forster, speaker of the provincial legislature. Mr. Forster was a coal miner several years ago, and was satisfied to work underground for less than S3 a day. He then purchased a little farm on the Fraser cleared it, got married and settled down to a farmer's life. A Fraser river It used to be said that "good wine needs ho bush." That was when advertising was comparatively unknown and when no one dresmed of competition like that of today. Nowadays alert merchants depend little upon the bush (or store sign), but make the desirability of their wares publicly known by means of daily newspaper advertisements. The store sign forces itself upon the ndtice of the few hundreds of passers-by if it be novel and attractive, but the advertisement engages the attention of thousands of newspaper readers. Just test the efficacy of The Times' columns in reaching the public. The attention of the mining public during 1900 is almost sure to be attracted to the remarkable potentialities of the Boundary creek district The completion of the Columbia & Western railway and^ the*' building of spurs into the different mining camps of the district, have given a greater impetus to the development of the gold-copper ore bodies of the locality. Twenty shipping mines, producing ore for two local smelters, is a conservative estimate for the present year, but even if we assume that this number is not reached, the production of ore is sure to be great, for few districts have demonstrated so much in a similar space of time.���B.

YU It ���AS IlAl^EGTIOI Olalla Camp, in the Keremeos Valley. - NEWS OF THE MINES NEAR BY Some Large Ore Bodies Being Developed at Depth���Good Gold and Copper Values. "W. C. McDougall, formerly of Columbia and now engaged in mining at Olalla camp, in the Keremeos valley, contributes the following interesting correspondence of the mining resources in the vicinity of that camp: Oi.au.a Camp, Feb. 19.���[Special to The Times] .���As this part of the Similkameen is likely to become one of the principal centers of interest during the coming season, I take the liberty of sending you a few items relating to the progress of work hereabouts. I may here say that this point is the present center of all the mining development and activity in this district. On the Bullion Mountain group the 800-foot tunnel, started early in the winter, is now in 200 feet and over and pushing along as fast as three shifts can drive it. This will cut at a depth of 700 feet the immense outcropping, from 100 to 200 feet wide, showing near, the summit of the, mountain, copper sulphides from which assay up to 27 per cent. The present indications in this tunnel are excellent. In the Flagstaff-Searchlight group the tunnel being driven to cut the big ore/body is now in 50 feet, the rock through which it is passing being well charged with copper sulphides of a promising- character. At the Opulence, Dolphin arid Black Diamond work was suspended last fall and will be resumed early in the spring. The native copper from the Opulence and the sulphides from the Dolphin are of particularly fine appearance. The higli gold values, up to $90 per ton, in the Dolphin are prominent features. On the Elkhorn fraction at the base pf which-this camp is situated, exploring work is being carried on. On the Surprise-Elkhorn group, preparatory to active mining operations this spring. Small bodies of high-grade ore is frequently met with and there are strong, indications of larger deposits on this property. The tunnel on the Copper King .'is 'being: steadily pushed, and,.judging from the large and ; promising surface outcrop, will expose an ore body second to,hone in this district! The Golconda turiiielis nowin over. ISO feet and work continues , steadily. I is stated that a width; of over.50 feet of ledge matter has already been passed through. All tljese properties are immediately at Olalla and tributary to this camp. A small portion of the townsite has re- centlj- been surveyed and will shortly be open for sale. A fine site for a smelter has been secured; A postoffice is expected to be shortly opened here. In the upper Keremeos valley, owing to difficulty of access, but little is doing but at the^ Black claim a tunnel is being driven, which is now in over 50 feet that cutwhat appears to be a tine ore body. From Twenty-Mile creek word comes' that the; tunnel on the' Nickel Plate is being speedily pushed and is in over 160 feet. A steam drill outfit for that property recently passed here.. It is considered certain that the government will construct the wagon road between Keremeos and Princeton ^through^the'Similkameen-valley^duri ing the coming season. The construction of this road;is a necessity to accommodate the rush of travel that is Ukely to be soon directed into this region. Another important public work tliat is beirig strongly urged upon the attention of the government is the construction of a wagon road ten miles long- throug-h the Upper Keremeos valley, which will open up a most extensive and important mineral belt. The mildness of the winter, plentiful water and ease of construction of roads are some of the features that contribute to making this an ideal mining region. FORCE TO BE INCREASED. There are signs of greater activity at the smelter since Paul Johnson's return. The force of carpenters on the buildings has been largely in- cieased, and it is the intention to run to a speedy completion the assay and labatory building and Mr. Johnson's private residence. The spurs to the smelters are nearly finished. As soon as the carpenters are through with the two buildings mentioned they will immediately be placed to work on the building on the ore bins and thc sampling mill building, as also to complete the machinery building.

IT IS BUILDING UP Deadwood Lots Find a Ready Sale Here. COTTAGES ARE WANTED BADLY Mew Hotel Nearine Completion���The Outlook Is Bright--Surrounded by Big Mines. James McNichol, the resident agent of the Deadwood townsite, reports a good business being done in the lots of Boundary's latest claimant for townsite honors. A large number of business and residential lots have already been disposed of in this city and elsewhere. Thomas McDonnell, recently bought two residential lots and proposes to build a couple of cottages. Mr. McNichol says that there is a demand for homes, and a dozen comfortable cottages could find rental immediately they were ready for occupancy. When one takes into consideration the nearness of such mines as the Ah There. Buckhorn, Sunset, Mother Lode and those lying beyond the last mentioned property, it Is easy to see that miners who have a family would naturally prefer living in a cottage near by to the scene of their daily labor. 7 ' A NEW HOTEL. .-���.;.��� Of the buildings now under construction, that of Hartman & Henderson is nearing completion. It is a substantial frame, three-story hotel. The owners are Nelson business men. D. W. Wilkins has finished his livery barn. Mr, Wilkins is now running a daily stage service between the new town and Greenwood. There are indications that by spring, with the amonnt of buildiiig now in progress, that Deadwood will be quite a lively locality. With the opening up of the surrounding-mines, the increase in the payroll and its natural advantages as a pleasant place .to live combined, there is every reason to believe that Deadwood will be "a substaVitiai tovrn.

THE EMPLOYMENT OF THE BAYONET Battles nowadays are fought mainly with firearms, but no troops, however brave, however well directed, can enjoy the full advantage of their successes if they exclude the possibilities of cold steel and are not prepared to maintain what they have won if necessary with their fists. The moral strength of an army which welcomes the closest personal encounter must exceed that of an army which depends for its victories only on being able to hill its foes at a distance. The bayonet is the most powerful weapon we possess out here. Firearms kill many of the enemy, but it is the white weapon that makes them run away.

C, January 23.1900, THE GREENWOOD WEEKLY TIMES.: PAUL JOHNSON BACK The General Manager of.the Greenwood Smelter. DISCUSSES HIS LATE TRIP EAST Was Most Satisfactory���Smelting Machinery Now Being Made���Local Smelter Will Have Ore From the Bi_ Mines. ' Paul Johnson, g-eneral manager of tho .-melting- department of the British Columbia Copper conipan3-, returned here on yesterdaj-'s train, after an absence of ten weeks. The purpose of Mr. Johnson's visit down east was ordering- the machinery for the local smelter and to see thc directors of the company in New York. When he first arrived in the east it was at a decidedly pannicky period in the monej* and stock markets. At thnt time the big copper boom collapsed, but the B. C. Copper company's shares were unaffected. Speaking of his trip to a Times man Mr. Johnson said this morning. " The result of my trip has been entirely satisfactory. My purpose in going to New York was to consult with the company's officials regarding the ordering of the machinery for the smelter. While there I also made other .arrangements with the company and was appointed general manager of the smelting works in British Columbia. The directors were highly pleased with the outlook for their smelter plant in this city and the future prospects of the company." ORDERS MACHINERY. ��� " From New York I journeyed to Milwaukee, where I remained several days going over lhe plans for the machinery. The A. P. Ailis company have the contract for the blast-furnace plant. They . promised me to have the same shipped.within four months fr_m the date of the order, so that it will be fully the end of May before the- same arrives here. ���. , ' , SEES the c. p. r. " Together with the vice-president of my company I then went to Montreal, where I put in a week. I saw many of the head officials of the C- P. R-i including President Shaugnessy. My visit to the railway men was in connection v*ith freight rates. When our machinery gets started our freight rates will be running over $1,000 a day, so it was most important to have all arran gements completed for as quick a freight service as possible, and as the president .is a very broad-minded man and has this county at heart, he and his officials did everything they could to facilitate matters. My stay in Montreal was made quite pleasant. I was the guest of . W. L,. Hogg, the manag ng director of the Montreal - Boundary Creek Mining company, owning the Sunset mine I also saw C. L. Porteous, representing Mr. Ross, the well known Montreal millionaire, who has a controlling, interest in the B. C. mine, and D. D. Mann, of Mackenzie & Mann, who are largely interested in the Dominion Copper company. All these gentlemen promised me that provided I could give the rate mentioned to them, the ores .of the companies they are largely- inter- erted in, would be sent, to the Greenwood smelter. They realize that the ores of the Boundary must be treated on the spot, and will not stand a long distance haulage to an}' smelter. thdt it will only take about four weeks after its arrival to completethe smelter. I might say that the directors were perfectly well satisfied with the returns of the sorted ore shipped from the Mother Lode mine to the smelter. The ore was sent more to ascertain its general character, with a view to its metallurgical treatment afterwards. It gave a value of 5 7-10 in copper, $4.40 in gold and $1 in silver." ANOTHER STATEMENT OF THE WINNIPEG VALUES The announcement in Tuesday's Times of the proposed consolidation of .the Winnipeg Mining and Smeltiug company and the Brandon and Golden Crown Mining company came as a surprise to the local mining men. In fact, it had been kept quiet since the idea was first mooted. It was through the courtesv of Duncan Mcintosh that the Times was the first paper to announce the same. Today we are also able to give to the public first authentic returns of ore shipoed from the Winnipeg mine to the Trail smelter. Yesterday a check was received by the company from the Canadian Smelting Works for $695.45, the net profit on 45 tons of Winnipeg ore, after paying all railroad and treatment charges, being on a basis of a fraction over $15.45 net per ton.

Records of Locations for the Period Ending January 21. 1900. -���-��� -----IN--GOVERNMENT"CIRCI,ES.���.-=~ --__ "At Ottawa I saw Mr. Pope, of the Buckhorn mine. I also interviewed the officials of the customs department regarding the duty on the smelter plant. I then returned to. Toronto and saw Hugh Sutherland and Senator Cox, both of the 'Dominion Copper company. They also gave me further assurance that the ores from the properties of the Dominion Copper company would be sent to Greenwood for treatment. While in Toronto the closing down of the War Eagle was ordered, and this had a bad impression on mining investors generally. War Eagle shares dropped from $2.68 to $1.50 in 24 hours. It is not so easy to sell mines back there as formerly. They do not want a property, big or small, that is not a producer. The days of selling claims on a sackful of ore are past. The mining investor looks to more than specimen samples���wants shippers. THE COAI. MINES.1* " After spending a day at Milwaukee making final arrangements forthe machinery, I came back via St. Paul and the Crow's Nest branch of the C. P. R. I was a day at Fernie and made a trip through the coal mines. They have an illimitable supply of coal, are producing between 800 and 900 tons per day at present. This output will be largely increased in the near future. The company is operating 342 coke ovens, and were constructing 300 more, as they could not commence to -supply the demand. Each will hold six tons of coal and produce four tons of coke. The coal used for the ovens is the very fine broken material. We will require 40 tons of coke here a day. ���' I shall be in Greenwood for five or six weeks and can assure you that the progress at the smelter site will be uninterrupted from now on. Everything that can be will be constructed until the arrival of the machinery plant, so January 25. Buller, P. J. Byrne, Hardy mountain Bear, D.Porto, two miles north of Pass creeks January 31.

STOCK EXCHANGE IS NOTIFIED Brief Particulars of the Arraflrement���Montreal and Toronto Capital in the New Company. Another important consolidation of two Boundary creek mining companies is in process of consummation. Last night the following brief telegram was sent to the presidents of each of the mining stock excanges in Montreal, Toronto and Rossland, by Duncan Mcintosh, president and general manager of the Winnipeg Mining and Smelting compat_3\ " Winnipeg mine closed down today pending consolidation with the Brandon and Golden Crown." From the same gentleman The Times was informed that while all the details of the consolidation have not yet been perfected, he announced that Montreal and Toronto capital were, behind the new company. The idea of consolidating the two mines has been on the tapis for some time. It is proposed to use the main shaft of the Brandon and Golden Crown, for the output of the two properties. Both mines are developed by shafts to a depth of 300 feet. Within the past three weeks the Winnipeg mine has shipped nine carloads of ore to the Trail smelter. The returns from the earlier shipments have been most satisfactory, a fraction over $20 to the ton being the profit. The consolidation of the companies will also allow the operation of both properties on a much more economical and profitable scale. W. J. Snodgrass & So; hop's.
