This morn- idg- a Times representative was out among- the mines that are at present being- developed. He visited the Butcher Boy, St. Lawrence, Buckhorn and Sunset. The Morrison was also taken in but was found to be closed down. A caretaker is in charge of the mine and from him it was learned that development will be resumed before the end of the month. On the Ah There they are waiting- for the balance of the machinery to arrive for the new hoisting plant which has been set up. The Greyhound is not being operated at present. ON THE ST. WWRBNCE. Some good looking" ore is being taken out from the bottom of the shaft on the St. Lawrence. The ore shows plenty of iron and copper pyrites is coming in freely. The shaft is down 66 feet, all timbered. It is a good piece of work and reflects credit on Superintendent Peterson. It is to be continued on down to 150 feet before drifting, will be started. The St. Lawrence is the property of a Spokane company, the Deadwood Copper Mines, Limited. THE BUTCHER BOY. Spokane capital is developing the Butcher Boy at the north end of tho camp. Recently water was coming in pretty freely into the shaft, which in terfered with the sinking. The management has had installed a hand windlass, manufactured by the Union Iron Works of Spokane. The water-can now be easily handled and the work of sinking will be continued. The shaft has reached a depth of ��72 feet today. Superintendent Warrington said that at the 100-foot level, after cutting out the necessary station, a crosscut of the ore body would be made. The shaft has been timbered and a manway put in. THS BUCKHORN. Another property visited was the Buckhorn. This mine is also being developed by a shaft, which is down 200 feet, and a station is now being cut before further sinking is resumed. At the 100-foot level the crosscut to the ore 1 iody is in over 100 feet aud there is every indication that it is rapidly nearing its objective, as stringers of ore are coming into the face of the crosscut very plentifully. The sunset. At the Sunset the work of cutting down the old shaft is progressing rapidly now that the machinery plant is working. The old shaft was sunk to a depth of 185 feet.���It has been enlarged to a double compartment, and this work is down 140 feet, all timbered. The plant is working to perfection. The Sunset has the honor of having the largest machinery plant in the district at the present time. It consists of half of a duplex 20-drill compressor and two 80-horse-power boilers. Superintendent Johns informed The Times man that a 50-horse- power hoist and engine will be installed on the Crown Silver and the shaft continued down to a depth of about 300 feet. At this depth the bottom of the Crown Silver shaft and the Sunset shaft will be on a level, when a connection will be made between the two. G. L. Fraser, recently at the head of the B. A. C. machine shops at Rossland, has been appointed assistant superintendent of the Sunset and Crown Silver mines. THE ATHELSTAN. John Mack of Spokane is in the city in connection with the resumption of work on the Athelstan claim, in Wellington camp. Nearly two years ago this property was under bond to Loring, Crane & Snodgrass, at that time a mining and engineering firm of Spokane. They went to work and opened the property and installed machinery. The first cash payment on the bond was made, but when the second fell due they failed to meet same, and the owners refusing an extension of time they closed down the work. Mr. Mack is now having the mine pumped ���-out /for the purpose of having surveys Wade and a thorough examination of the underground workings. He himself has no knowledge of what -work the firm did, as immediately the extension of time was refused and the pumps taken up the mine filled with water and has remained in this condition ever since. Interesting News of the Mines In the Vicinity of Beaverton, Beaverton, West Fork of the Kettle river, March 18.���[Special to the Times.]���Work ou numerous properties in the'different camps along the West Fork has been prosecuted during the past few mouths with encouraging results. The correspondent of the Times was recently around the mines and made the following notes of what is being done. Five men are employed on the Carmi. A new shaft has been started. The old one was sunk to a depth of 55 feet. In the new shaft an excellent body of ore has been encountered and recent assays give returns as high as $341 to the toil. The shaft on the Idaho and Washington group is down past 100 feet. Preparations are being made to crosscut to the ledge, which dipped from the shaft at a depth of 40 feet. On Cranberry creek Peterson and Steel are developing their holdings Considerable surface work done, including a 20-foot They are now arranging to foot tunnel, which will give depth of 160 feet on the ledge. On the Blomington group, F. Mosher and F. Finch have built a cabin and propose opening the property by surface prospecting. Ben Hall has been working for J. W. Nelson on his claim in the Arlington camp for the past four months, and reports that the claim is looking fine. A.

Take Republic Machinery From Midway Down Kettle River to Curlew. Mention was made in The Times a few days since of the presence in the city of Major J. Edwards Leckie, manager of the Republic Gold Mining company, and J. C. Ralston, a prominent mining engineer of Spokane. The following from the Grand Forks Miner of yesterday is believed to be the reason of their visit in the Bouud- dary: " To look into a transportation scheme which they have on foot. This scheme contemplates the utilization of scows and barges for the transportation of the heavy machinery which is necessary for the Republic mill. In brief, the scheme is to ship the 20 cars of machinery, which is now on the road, over to Midway, where it is proposed to build scows on which the machinery can be floated down to Curlew, where it will be loaded upon wagons and hauled from there up to Republic. The roads from here to Curlew are in very bad shape and will remain so for some weeks to come, the Goosmoos swamps being especially bad, while it is desired to get this machinery into the camp as soon as possible. By sending it to Curlew via Midway and the scow line it would be possible to get the machinery that far on the road much more expeditiously than by taking it from here by wagon and waiting until-"the road is in better condition. It will also be possible to dodge the worst part of the road. Should this scheme be found practical, it is more than likely that the two big tanks now on the road for the cyanide plant of the Republic Reduction Co., which are now stuck a few miles from here, will be brought back and sent in by the same route."

PUBLISHED BY Ttie Greenwood Times Printing and Publishing Company, Limited. Duncan Ross _ Editor. "SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1900 MARTIN'S PLATFORM. Hon. Joseph Martin has sufficient political astuteness to promulgate a platform that will strongly appeal to the people. He has embodied in his address to the Vancouver electors almost everything that is likely to catch the popular vote. The weakness of his platform lies in its very strength. He wants to revolutionize things where the public interest demands that matters be left alone. This province is by no means on a permanent basis. Its chief industry is mining. Capital was being turned in this direction, mines were being developed, properties were being bonded, when hasty and ill- advised legislation and unsettled political conditions prejudiced capital and left business at a standstill- The situation -will be aggravated if ��� Joe Martin is allowed to continue in power. He is probably not as dangerous a man as his enemies are anxious to make him, but rightly or wrongly he is the bogie man to those who might be induced to invest their' money in developing the resources of this province. Nothing that can be said in his favor, nothing that he will do'will remove this prejudice. The province can never developed without the assistance of outside capital and its future depends upon having a stable government and such legislation ' a s will encourage the investor." It would be suicidal then to sacrifice the future of the province in a fight for principles that may be theoretically sound. We are ciscussing the situation from a business standpoint. The election of Martin and a majority for him in the house means a continuance of the present. dullness in the mining industry. What the Province wants at present time is a government of strong, safe business,, men in whom the investing public can place confidence; otherwise the mining industry will be irretrievably ruined. f It may sound like sacrificing sound . political principles to the caprices of the mining market, but is there" an alternative? Of what use are state- owned railways if their accompaniments - are unexploited nat- of the Rossland Board of Trade, a a meeting was held in Rossland. Every board of trade in the Kootenays and Boundary was represented. The delegates were there to discuss matters affecting the business interests. A similar conference could be held at the present time. The interests of the six Kootenay constituencies are identical, and are of greater importance than those of the politicians. If such conference were held, a platform suited to all interests in the mining district adopted and candidates placed in the field, such an organization of business men could Lcall on the party men to carry out their professions of party disinterestedness and join them in a'n organized effort to secure stable government for the Province. FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE. was opposed hy every representative of the peopie. Their wishes were disregarded. The views of the people as expressed through their representatives were set at naught, and a one- man government created. The prin- ple of representative government in South Africa is worth fighting for. Should it not be equally valuable in British Columbia ? THE SIMILKAMEEN, NATIONAL WAR LOAN. J. NEAl. J. WATT The supporters of Joe Martin point to himself and his policy and ask what objection can be taken to either. When the circumstances under which he became premier are considered, neither Mr. Martin's virtues nor the merits of the policy need be discussed. The real point at issue in the contest is whether the people are going to allow a self-constituted satrap to disregard the wishes of their representatives and force upon them a premier of his own making. The members of the last legislature had their faults, but they were elected by the people. Whatever the political parties of the Province may do, they should at least nnite for the purpose of teaching the governor that no man can go back 200 years for precedent to guide him in calling upon a man who could not find a follower in the legislature elected by the people. -He has created a Mclnnes government, instead of permitting responsible government. We doubt very much if Mr. Martin will be able to complete his cabinet. We think it probable that he will find no other man of any prominence who will countenance conduct that has no parallel since the time of Charles II., when the length of parliament depended not on the wishes of the people but in the personal feelings of tbe king.;.'. ,. ��������������� Any demagogue, any practiced politician can promulgate a policy that tickles the fancy or suits the wishes of what is termed the common people; but of what value is such a policy if its sponsor is a man who is willing to accept office.at the expense of proper constitutional; methods and the peroga- tives of the people's parliament. The prospectus of the National War Loan may prove interesting reading to Greenwood capitalists' anxious- to secure safe investment for surplus funds. The prospectus says in part: Issue of loan of thirty million pounds sterling, bearing interest at 2_^ per cent per annum, to be redeemed at par on the 5th April, 1910. Price of issue fixed by H. M. Treasury at ��98 10s. per cent. The governor and company of the Bank of England give notice that they are authorized, to receive applications for this loan, which will take the form either of inscribed stock or of bonds to bearer,' at the option of the subscribers. The interest at 2^ per cent per annum and the capital will, be a charge on the consolidated fund, of the United Kingdom. The books of the loan will be kept at the Bank of England and at the Bank of Ireland. Dividends will, be paid quarterly in the same manner and on the same dates as the dividends on consols, the first dividend, a three months.' dividend, will be paid on the 5th Jxily, and the second dividend, also a.full-three months' dividend, on the 5th October. ,: .

Princeton, B. C PRINCETON, B. C. lice. 1 n PREFERENTIAL IS WORKING. TO BUSINESS MEN. That the political situation is badly complicated no one will deny; that it is as serious as it is complicated the business men in the mining districts are ready to admit. With an organized effort those same business men could secure control of political affairs and bring to the province a reasonable measure of security. Instead they-are flirting with the politicians and tacitly encouraging them in ruining the business interests of the province. Business men appreciate how seriously the present political muddle is affecting their interests, but they are apparently unable or unwilling to take such,action as will protect themselves.. The situation has become so serious thai it is no longer a question of party politics. Men's political views and predilections should be subordinated to the higher duty of securing a government that will possess the confidence of those having close relations with the business interests of the province; that will bring that measure of security so necessary to attract capital and credit. The leaders of the two great parties in the country have declared that in the coming contest they are not anxious to secure party advantage at the expense bf the province. Their object is to defeat a man who is responsible for the panicky feeling that prevails. ��� They will never succeed in accomplishing: their object if each party look ��� Iwith distrust upon the other. ^-i- That concerted- Action on the part of the business men is"-necessary must be apparent.'

All the'aldermen were present at Monday's meeting of the city council, -with Acting Mayor Sutherland in the chair. V Letters were read from the Greenwood .Electric company, H. B. Balder-^ ston, Imperial Bank of Canada.William* Graham and C. Stack. The city treasurer was authorized to send the the Imperial Bank of Canada a draft for $1,500 to pay for bond coupons. The letters of C. W, Stack andWm. Graham caused considerable discussion on street, grades, as both communications dealt. with that subject and were .requests for permission to lay sidewalks. Tne discussion drew out the rather startling fact-that there is no city street grade endorsed by the council. After half an hour's time had.been taken up on the subject, Mr. Stack's.letter was referred to the street committee. IkoTher by-uw.

" Hereafter no fine will be imposed on any woman brought into my court and charged with soliciting, they will be imprisoned." These words were uttered by Police Magistrate Hallet Tuesday in the little room that serves the double purpose of the police department and police court, and were addressed to two women,: habitues of cribs on Gold street. Constable Lawder nodded approvingly;at the magistrate's stern warning, for at last the police were assured that in future all cases of soliciting-"would be sternly dealt with. "7 The cause of these remarks was the outcome of the case of Hugh Sweeny against Mamie Foster. The inform- nat told the court the story of how he had been inveigled into the "crib" of Mamie Foster yesterday morning and there relieved of the sum of $40. He was considerably drunk at the time and his story was open to contradiction. :This was the line of defense adopted; by Mamie Foster. She is a colored women ,a;nd it is not the first time she has been in police circles. She flatly denied all the allegat'ons made by the complainant and on her own behalf introduced" evidence of her next door neighbor, a white woman. The evidence being so contradictory the magistrate, adjourned the case until Thursday/to' allow the. police department time to gather additional evidence, one way or the other.

This is Mr. Ford's first visit to Greenwood, and he expressed himself this morning as being well pleased with his short stay here. He said: " I was quite surprised to find such a prosperous city as Greenwood. I. have been reading much about its growth and the many mining camps surrounding it and decided to come up here and see the place myself. This, I hope will be a forerunner of many more trips. My company has done considerable business in connection with moving freight along its lines for the Boundary. I intend to watch this business closely as it is. a. rapidly growing one. Of course what we handle comes from the American side of the line, principally machinery. Other freight is beer and a little merchandise, though the bulk of the latter comes in over the C. P. R. " I was struck with the magnificent road the C. P. R. has constructed into this country. People complain of what they term excessive freight rates up here, but when one stops to consider the enormous amount of capital expended by that company in building into the Boundary they can appreciate th.it it will take years to make it a. really remunerative branch. However, the company was looking to the future and when the mines begin to ship and the two smelters now being built in the district are smelting ores the tonnage must actually grow to sucli proportions that it will be a handsome investment in after years," he concluded. The Greenwood Electric Company.^ Are now prepared to undertake the installing of lights on premises of intending consumers. Before any building is connected to the Company's mains, the wiring will have to be inspected by an officer of the Company. All work must be done in accordance with the rules of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.

Passenger Aeent . McPtiersoa Talks for Publication. - General. Passenger Agent McPher- son of the C. P. R. was in Seattle a fevvdays since, accompanied by Assistant General Passenger Agent E. J. Coyle of .Vancouver. Mr. McPherson was en route to California, where he will spend, t^short vacation. He told the Post-Intelligencer that westbound business over the Canadian Pacific was heavy, while, like the other transcontinental lines, there is practically little eastbound travel. This was briefly his summoning up of the passenger department situation of the road. ^"It-will-;beremembered-"that-^Mr--*Mc- Pherson; recently spent about two weeks in the Kootenay and Boundary, inspecting/the offices arid business of the company. He told the paper "that the Columbia, and Western branch was being operated as far west as this city, that daily trains were running into Greenwood and business was good. "I can't say that the immigration business on our road is at its best," he said. "During the last year we have handled a large number of homeseek- ers to Manitoba. A good portion came from the United States, having sold their .'land here at a good price and moved where land was ��� cheaper. We have also brought a, number to Washington. We expect this year; will be a heavy one.for homeseekers' business." H. A. Durkee, freight conductor.on the C & W. branch, has been indisposed for the past few. days at the Hotel Armstrong. He hopes to be sufficiently recovered'to go on duty tomorrow. The Phoenix Pioneer in its last issue says that preparations are being made for the building of the station depot at that poirit. It also believes that the completion of the branch from Hartford junction into Phoenix will be made shortly. A special from Montreal today says that in an interview had. by the Associated Press with Thomas Tait, manager of the C. P. R. lines east of Fort William,-he intimated that the company would shortly put standard running rules into operation. . The United States supreme court has.handed down an important decision concerning the right of contract as between railroads and their employees. The court holds that there is no principle of public policy preventing- the making of a contract by a railroad employee to relieve the railroad company froiri responsibility in case of an accident.

WILL SINK/ A WINZE. The Development of the Mammoth in a New - Direction. Camp McKinney, March 18.-[Special to The Times.]���Information has been received here from Spokane that the superintendent of the Mammoth Gold Mining company has been instructed to discontinue running the tunnel on the ledge on account of the many- faults encountered. It has been decided to return to a puint in the ledge where it is shown to be solid and in place and sink a winze on the ore. It is expected that this work will be prosecuted entirely in pay ore. ,y7hen in Rossland recently Engineer Sullivan said that arrangements were being made for the completion of the spurs to the Mother Lode on the Dead- wood branch; to Phoenix and to the Rathmullen mine. It is hoped to have the steel on the 'Deadwood spur laid some time this week. During the past week, as already noted in The Times, the steel gang were busy curving the steel necessary for this branch. > The Railway and Engineering Review says : "In this day and generation a sharp distinction is made in many quarters as between the rail; roads and the people, and in view of some figures recently furnished by the interstate commerce commission it would seem to be pertinent to inquire who are the people. About 7 per cent of the entire population of the United States depends directly upon the railroads for sustenance, while as many, if not more, obtain their support from industries engaged in supplying material for railroads."

Troup, superintendent of the Kootenay division of the Canadian Pacific railway, was expected to arrive some time, during the afternoon. Captain Troup arrived here in time to catch the train for Robson. He was accompanied by J. L. Lawrence, train master for the Columbia and Western branch, and H. L. Johnson, road master for the same line. Previous to leaving the superintendent was, seen by a representative of this paper, and expressed himsejf highly satisfied with his brief visit along the line. He said : " It was. my first trip to Phoenix. I went there to see how conditions were and came away more than satisfied. I -<un not in .1 position to say just whett the road will be completed from Hartford-junction to Phoenix. This is, a matter that is in the hands of tlie. construction department, tnough I believe that as soon as the Deadwood branch is fin*- is.ted work will tne started at Hartford j .motion to outld into Phoenix and qjmplete tne sub-spurs to ihe mines." Asked when the main line of thc C. & W. would be completed and train** running 'into Midway, he continued"- " The operating department will suo.t take over the balance of the road until the construction department hay*; fixed it up properly. There is much feo be done on that piece of road, and it may take some time to finish the. ballasting, but just as soon as it is completed it will be taken over and the trains run out to Midway. "The only local news tha_t may interest you is our intention to change the time of the departure of trains from this point. In a few days we shall haye a new time card, providing for the trains to leave Greenwood earlier in the afternoon. How muchZ "\YelU about half an hour earlier thajai - at present.

The. condition. of the roadbed at this season of the: year necessitates a little longer time being taken, that is the reason, for the change. No, there is nothing else of importance to mention,." he concluded. Captain Troup expects to be up and down the line mpre frequently from now on,, as his.new. duties of superin^ tendent will necessitate his being oat from Nelson considerable of the time.

From Seattle comes.the suggestiomodF a possible rate war between the Ca_3i__- dian Pacific and the American tra_t_Si- continental Hues over the refusal o.f the C. P. R.* to sign the agreejneat to abolish the practice of payin<�� commissions for business routed o\re__- its, line. The history of this anti-coramisr sion compact is briefly as foliow.s :. In January_last_there.was_a_ con f erence^of^ the heads of the different roads affected held in New York. At this, meeting practically all the lines signed the agreement with the exception of the C. P. R. From February 1, the. date it became effective, up to March 10 the C. P. R. held off and continued to pay commissions. On that date it apparently came into line with a proposition to sign the agreement and abolish commissions, provided the Great Northern would take off its $25 colonist rate to Seattle and also its reduced rates to intermediate points. After some delay the Great Northern agreed to this proposal, cancelling the colonist rates. The Northern Pacific,. Burlington and other lines followed suit and the whole matter was supposed, to be settled. But it is now given out that the Canadian Pacific has absolur tely refused to sign unless, granted further concessions by the American lines. Chief among these concessions is a refund of all commissions paid last summer for business to the Kootenay districts, because of the competition of American lines.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-03-24 |
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. |
