REMAINS BROUGHT TO THE CITY Officer McMynn Will Be Here Today. When ' It WiU Be Decided if aa laauest Is Necessary. ymnrrrmnrfrorflTO Lying in the undertaking* department of Gully Bros. & Co. is the body of a man, going under the name of Thomas Lewis. The body was urought to the city last night from a point on the main wagon road between here and Boundary Falls, where the branch road goes to the No. 7 mine. It was first noticed, lying by the side of the road, by the passengers on the east bound Penticton stage, yesterday afternoon. The stage was stopped and two of the travellers got out and staid by the remains, while the rest drove on to their destination. The stage met Dr. Jakes, the corner, driving out to Midway and he was informed of the finding of the body. After examining the remains Dr. Jakes drove on to the Boundary Falls hotel and telephoned to the city for a rig to bring the remains in. DR. JAKES INTERVIEWED. Dr. Jakes was called up on the 'phone by the Times last night at Midway, and in reply to an enquiry for particulars said. "In coming home this evening, I met the Penticton stage between Anaconda . and Boundary Falls and was told that a man wa . lying dead on the road and that two of the passengers had dropped off the stage aud were with the remains. I found the body near the-junction of the No. 7 wagon road and the main road. There appeared to be. no signs of violence and I should judge that the man came to his death through exhaustion. He' had evidently been drinking. A search of his clothes was made. He had a pocket knife, .tobacco., and a note book. In the note book were two names, one was R. Lloyd,the other I forget now. He also had a bundle with some clothes. I notified. McMynn and he will be in Greenwood, to-morrow. I cannot say if it will be necessary to hold an inquest." THE REMAINS INSPECTED. On the arrival of the body in town, accompanied by Constable McKenzie a Times man saw the remains at Gully Bros. & Co. - The moment the constable saw the body he recognized the man as one having recently been discharged from the jail after having served a sentence of 30 days for petty larceny. The man _was dressed in a brown canvas, c-nat, woolen shirt and blue over-dis". There were marks on his facJ that might have resulted from a fall^-sbut the police are inclined to the belief that they were not produced that way. Over the left eye it is considerably bruised and cut. Over the right eye there is a slight cut, and on the left side of his nose the skin was broken as though from-a. heavy blow. The "top~of the "head*-which-is bald,- showed a depression of the' skin, but the si* ull was not fractured. Another thing was the position of his left arm and the fact that his fist .was tightly closed. It was these small details that lead the police to think that there might possibly have been foul means used that brought Thomas Lewis to his death. The deceased was a man past 40, of robust frame, and his hands showed signs of hard manual labor in past days. Upon the arrival of Provincial Officer McMynn -this-morning it will be decided if an inquest be held or not. WAS IN THE N. W. M. J?. From Constable Lawder a little of the man's past was learned.. The constable had been of assistance to him last week in helping him to get odd jobs around town He told the constable that he had been a member of the Northwest Mounted Police and had been stationed, in 1892, at Maple creek under Superintendent' Steele. Nothing is known what occcupatibn he followed after he left the force. He had been employed the past year on railroad construction, and probably drifted into town when the line arrived here. -! On December 9th he was arrested here and sentenced to serve 30 days in the jail for stealing a crosscut saw. His term expired last Monday week. Constable Lawder found him employment as-; a porter in Tom Walsh's place. He worked for: a day or two, and did odd jobs for Mrs. Harry King. He also worked around the city hall. Some ;time the end of last.week he left town, saying that he had been offered.a position at Camp. McKihney, a_nd started out to walk' there. Who he hais been with, or what he has- been. doing: since he left to w u, could not be learned. It is probable that he had been dead."some'"hours before bis body was found. Thomas Lewis, or Ellis, as he was sometimes called, was boru in ; Eogland. His death is shadowed in mystery. Dr. Jakes considered it unnecessary to hold an inquest. CITY 0FJEADW00D The Boundary Creek District's Latest Townsite. WILL HAVE A LARGE PAY ROLL The Mines that Surround It-BulIdlngs that Are Going Up���Its Ideal Location With Lots of Water. The prominence that Deadwood camp has recently attained, through the development of its numerous properties, is responsible for the laying out of a townsite to be called the City of Deadwood. The townsite is located on the northern portion of Scott McRac's ranch and 80 acres has been -surveyed and streets laid out. The townsite is within three miles of town, traversed by the Deadwood spur of the Columbia & Western railway. It is an admirable location, on a series of gently sloping benches, covered with a light growth of timber and with abundance of clear spring water. But a beautiful location is not the only requisite for a prosperous tewn. Dead- wood City is surrounded in every direction with developed mines and promising prospects. It is assured a pay roll that within a short time will nearly equal Phoenix. SURROUNDING MINES. Immediately adjoining the townsite are the Ah There and Greyhound properties, both being developed. Nearby is the Sunset mine that is now installing machinery and will shortly have a pay roll of 40 or 50 men. Its next door neighbor, the famous Mother Lode, is ready to ship ore, and has made one shipment of 100 tons to the- smelter, and the force is to be increased from 35 at present to 150 employees within the next 30 days. Surrounding this mine are the St. Lawrence, St. Dunstan, Butcher Boy, and Silver Crown claims, which have forces of from two to five men.' In the south, end of the camp is the Buckhorn mine that has just recently installed a big machinery plant,'and which will' have a force of at least 25 men.' Adjoining this property is the Arlington-Burns property, yet in its primary stage of development. A. E'. Bielenberg, the - owner,, is at present in New York arranging for the formation of a company to acquire the, group. Shortly it will be seen that there is something to back a townsite proposition, and this something is a pay roll.- BUIHHNG OPERATIONS. * Yesterday a Times representative visited Deadwood city. The sound of the hammer was going merrily, for building has already commenced. T. Kaake, an enterprising hotel man from Phoenix, has finished his hotel and is doing business. The Yale-Columbia Lumber company has a saw-mil. busy at work turning' .out lumber. The company has a dozen men at work on the townsite cutting timber, hauling and putting it through the mill. Foley Bros7a~hd Walker & Postyrtwo Phoenix - mercantile firms; are opening branches, H. Forbis of Nelson has secured lots and will build a hotel. J. P. Harlem is opening an assay office, and there are others whom the Times inati was unable to obtain the names of who propose going into business in this, the latest tovnsite of the Boundary Creek d:ft . ict ��� eadwood city.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1900. BOUNDARY REPRESENTATION As the government has expressed its intention through the speech from the throne of amending- the constitution act in order that representation may be granted Boundary district, the board of trade and others interested should seriously consider the question at an early date. The district will be a large one and it is important that it should be formed in such a manner that important mining section should be thrown into one district. A constituency including Camp McKinney on the west and Cascade on the east would include some of the most important mining camps in the province. It would have a voting population of over 1000. All portions could be conveniently reached by a representative. This district would draw from the constituencies of Rossland and East Yale, both of which are under represented today. We strongly; recommend that if the government, succeeds in passing the legislation outlined, the Boundary district should*include the territory suggested. We iiiust take exception to Hon. Jos. Martin's remarking in the house in reference to the granting of representation to Boundary district. He objected to the measure on the ground that a general redistribution bill should be introduced and the object of the government was to make itself safe by subdividin g a constituency that gave a large majority to a government supporter. The necessity for a general redistribution will scarcely be questioned, but Mr. Martin knows full well that a gross injustice was done Boundary district by the last redistribution act. Mr. Martin cannot help his cause by placing obstacles in tht way when an effort is being made to remove this injustice. wonder the war office in London begari to .question Methuen's sanity'when he gravely reported the Modder.; river action as "the bloodiest battle of the century." No one who understands the depth of the warlike feeliiig among the English people can believe for a minute that they will be checked-by -these preliminary losses. ASSOCIATED PRESS SERVICE. The associated press service furnished Canadian newspapers has for years been unsatisfactory. Time does not alter it in this respect. It is as unsatisfactory now as it was five years ago and five years ago it was sufficiently bad to call forth the anathemas of all newspaper men, The service furnished Cam_dian papers is not ��� an exclusive Canadian service but is borrowed from that sent to the different newspapers in. the States. The news relative to English politics or Britain's foreign relations is usually tainted by American bias.: Apparently some operator away back east takes off a chunk from the full service and sends it British Columbia- ward. Here is a specimen of what the poor telegraph editor is supposed to make into intelligent news: (Follow Rutherford Harris dispatch.) London, Jan. 15���[Later.]���Mr. Harris denied having received the telegram referring to the alleged repulse of General Buller. It may be ignorance, but we are free to confess that we are not acquainted with Rutherford Harris nor his dispatch; that we don't know what is to be followed, and that we are very glad that this man Harris did not receive a telegram referring to the alleged repulse of General Buller. Nearly every night the tail end of some interesting story is all that is received and the newspaper man and the readers are left to guess what it is all about. INDECENT JOURNALISM. GREENWOOD'S GROWTH. A good indication of Greenwood's remarkable growth is to be found in the many substantial buildings which are being erected in the city. Usually at this season of the year the building trade is dull, but here in Greenwood the; demand for new premises overcame the barriers which the winter months "place in the way of .active building operations. A visitor walking down Copper street and seeing under course of erection such handsome blocks as Thomas Walsh's, Louis Boss- haTt's, the new Windsor, the Times block and others, cannot but be convinced that the metropolis of Boundary is Greenwood, and that it is rapidly forging ahead of all towns in the district. Commercial travellers have exceptional opportunities of making The'conserisus that Green- business comparisons, of opinion among them is wood today is the liveliest, most enterprising and most progressive city in theprovince. SENSIBLE SPOKESMAN. Those living on this side of the line who are anxiously watching the trend of the strife in South Africa, cannot but appreciate the broadmindedness of the editor of the,'Spokesman^ .Review which prompts him to put forth views that do justice to the British cause. Unlike the yellow journals the Review is not seeking popularity by twisting the lion's tail. If comments on the war bear the earmarks of warmsym- pathyj towards Britain and an accurate knowledge of the situation. The better classes in the states endorse the British position and the Review is only expressing their sentiments when it says: So far, England has been more humiliated than hurt by her South African reverses. All told, her losses from battle, sickness and capture will fall short of 8000. The Union army lost nearly three times that nnmber in -the single battle of Gettysburg. In the civil war 12 battles were fought in each of which the Union losses exceeded 11,000 men. In one day's fighting at Antietam the Union army lost 12,410 men, or SO per cent more than the British have lost from all sources in the entire campaign in South Africa. Compared with Gettysburg, Spottsyl- vania, the Wilderness. Antietam, Chancellorsville, Chickamauge, Gold Harbor, Fredericksburg, Manassas, Shilbh, Stone River or Petersburg-, the losses of Methuem at Modder river and Magersfontein, and of Buller on the Tugela river, were skirmishes Methuen lost 4-38 men at the battle of Modder river, about one-thirtieth the number that Grant; the greatest soldier of the civil war, lost at Shiloh. No The Times is always prepared to defend newspapers against those who believe that the criticism of public acts should be limited to what is in consonance with their own peculiar views. The public acts of public men are very properly subjects of criticism, and so long as nothing is said beyond the" bounds of decency every newspaper is entitled to its opinions, no. matter how strongly they may be expressed. Vulgar personal references to individuals is a different matter. Last session the Kamloops Standard received letters from Victoria that were a disgrace to journalism. These letters were unnoticed, although they were.good grounds for contempt proceedings. This session similar letters are being published in the Standard. In all probability steps will be taken to put a stop to what cannot but lower the tone of the provincial press. In the letter to which the Hon. Mr. Martin took exception in the house, the lieutenant-governor is referred to as "a thing in gold lace," "a bewhiskered monstrosity" 'and "an obese and shining power'"' Joseph Martin was described ns a "political Ishmael and prairie outcast." Mr.~ Martin,"according to a dispatch to the Nelson Tribune, vigorously denouueed the insults to the lieutenant-governor and called upon the house to take some steps to mark its disapproval. Premier Semlin promised that steps would be taken to have the persons responsible brought before the bar of the house. The house has the power and should use it to protect the Queen's representative* and- the members from the insults of irresponsible scribblers. Always on Hand at Rossland Depot. achine HOISTING PLANTS BUCKETS. CARS, PUMPS, CHAIN COMPRESSORS. ROPE, SINKING AND STATION BLOCKS, RAND DRILLS AND F. R. MENDENHALL, Agent Martin's* argument would have some weight. The ihcrease of population grants Boundary,.no rights over Vancouver or other portions of the province, but. Vancouver 'was granted representation by the last redistribution act, Boundary was practically disfranchised. ; ' STRATHCONA'S OFFER. Lord Strathcona's offer to the imperial government is a remarkable indication of the patriotism of Canad-. ians. Sir Donald Smith, as Lord Strathcona is more familarly known is a typical Canadian. At an early age he became absociated with the Hudson's Bay company and through his exceptional business ability he made a vast fortune in this country. He is now Canada's representative in London and he comes forward with an offer to personally arm, equip and convey to South Africa 400 mounted men. The cost of the undertaking will be upwards of $1,000,000. The men will be taken from .the Northwest and British Columbia and all will beexpert marksmen, rough riders and scouts. The offer has' been accepted by the war department. Lord Strathcona is a wealthy man and can easily afford the expenditure of this large amount of money. His, offer nevertheless is an extraordinary one, British history can give no precedent for such enterprise or patriotism on the part of any representative of the great colonies that honor the British flag. The greatness of the British empire cannot be diminished so long as men like Lord Strathcona .are ready to spend fortunes in equipping picked men to fight her battles". LIMITED. �����'. % .

"_���_-, '_. r- ,*L r !_, A. H. Yy'ALLBRIDGE. Sales Atfent, Vancouver,,B.,C. . Hon. Jos. Martin's objection to representation to Boundary is voiced in the ..following, paragraph from a report of a recent speech deliveerd by him in the house : The proposed new representative for Boundary was condemned by Mr. Martin unhesitatingly on the ground that if such things be allowed it would be 'impossible to defeat any government. All they would have to do would be to cut up a -'hive" and award a safe constituency to one, two or members to secure a majority. And if the excuse for this was that population had increased so much in the Boundary district that it was entitled to another member, then Vancouver city should be entitled to two more on the same ground. "We think the reasons advanced in the speech from the throne for granting a representative has given [-Mr. Martin an opportunity to offer the above criticism. There is an excuse beyond the rapid increase of population for granting representation to this district.

P. Flood are figured as plaintiffs. Besides the action's taken to recover there will probably.be instituted' otherpa^es here, as the company is indebted to more than one party, including the local merchants. Even the Chinese have been let in, one Chinaman, being owed a considerable sum for which worthless cheques were given in payment. GOVEBNMENT TAKES A HAND This is not all the trouble, as the government officials at Ottawa have taken a hand in the game and ordered their local representative to take possession of a mill, pending the payment of the sum due to the government. 'It is,not exactly known what this sum amounts to,'or for what it is due The matter is in the hands of the customs department at Ottawa. The amount is said to be $500. It is hard to say just how much the company is owing. At the time the mill started to turn out a small gold brick, every now and then, the public were duly informed and by the time'the item would go the round of the press, the sum the mill was producing ��� became greatly ��� enlarged. , On , the outside little , was t(�� 1 / I ''1 l>l I , known of the company's 1 affairs, but here, it'hasbeeri known'for some time that things were uot exactly alright.

No company received such a lot of "free boosting" as did the Camp McKinney Mines, Ltd. It was done chiefly to sell stock. The company started operations a year ago next month, and it "appears that this brief period has been amply sufficient to result in a great deal of mismanag- '"���- -' -md to place the property in such a *li ���"'���*' state of indebtedness.

It is a full claim of 52 acres in. extent. The surface showing of the ore body is large, being over 250 feet in width. It is a quartzite and the ore shows copper pyrites and copper carbonates. The values are sufficiently encouraging, while low, to warrant the expenditure of money in a I thorough prospecting of the lode. This work will consist of sinking a prospecting shaft to a depth of 100 feet, with; crosscuts through the ore body at the 50 and 100 foot levels. The company has constructed a comfortable bunk-house, 14x16 feet in size. The employees, are boarded at the Mother Lode boarding-house. 77.THK DEVELOPMENT.

Yesterday it had reached a depth of 45 feet, all timbered.. If the character-of the ore improves as depth is attained the company will install a power plant and compressor. It is the intention of the management to thoroughly prospect the ore body. A night and day shift under Superintendent H. W. Warrington will be kept constantly at work until this is accomplished. The company is said to be amply supplied with funds, has an efficient board of directors and a good management.

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).
