A prominent party of* Canadian Pacific railway and smelter officials arrived iri^jhe city Tuesday on a tour of inspection of the Columbia and Kootenay branch and to some of the mines to which spurs have been built. The party left Rossland on a special Monday, '��� arriving- af Columbia^ that evening. Yesterday morning- they visited the Granby smelter at Grand Forks, then took tiain for the B. C. mine in Summit camp, where they were entertained at luncheon by manager S. F. Parrish. In the afternoon they journeyed on to Wellington camp visiting the Winnipeg- and Brandon and Golden Crown mines, then down to Phoenix, visiting the Snowshoe, Old Ironsides and Knob Hill properties and reached -Greenwood by carriage last evening. _ The party consisted of W. F. Tye, Winnipeg, Man., chief engineer of construction; John G. Sullivan, Trail, engineer of construction for the Kootenays; W. H. Aldridge, Trail, manager of the smelter; Captain J. W. Troup, Nelson, superintendent of the Kootenay division; F. W. Peters, Nelson, assistant general freight agent and D. W. 'Moore, Trail, ore buyer for the smelter. * Speaking of the operations of the company's smelter at Trail, Mr. Aldridge informed a Times representative that it ��� was 'practically being kept going by ores from the Slocan, East Kootenay and the Boundary district. They were receiving between 700 and 800 tons of ore daily. Now that the several branch spurs had been built to the mines in the Boundary district, enabling big plants to be brought in to develop the same, he hoped in a short time to see a large amount of copper- gold ore being sent out to Trail. Since the roa,d had been completed the following mines had already shipped or were about to ship: Mother Lode in Deadwood camp; Last Chance in Skylark camp; Gold Bug in Providence camp; B. C, Oro Denero and Rath- mullen in Summit camp; Snowshoe and Gold Drop in Greenwood camp; Winnipeg, Brandon and Golden Crown and the Athlestan in Wellington camp; City of. Paris in Central camp and the Yankee Girl near Columbia. Mr. Aldridge explained that some of these mines had shipped merely for testing purposesrthough-there iwere a^nuinber that were shipping steadily and many more vi;ill shprtlybe added. From Captain Troup it was learned ttiat the'spur from the main line to the Granby smelter would be completed by the end of" the week, when the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides mines at Phoenix would be able to ship continuously, these two mines having over 8,000 tons in the ore-bins awaiting cars to carry the same away. Mr. Peters went on to Midway this morning ������ to arrange about sending freight forward from that: time to Chesaw arid other Myers Creek canips. ' Today the balance of the company were out on the Deadwood spur and visited the Mother Lode and other mines in that camp, returning this afternoon to Rossland. THIRTEEN CARS OF ORE Shipped From Boundary Mines Via* Eholt. Machinery for R. Bell. Ehoi,t, June 13.���[Special to The Times.]���Thirteen car-loads of ore for the Trail smelter in one day is a pretty good showing for the Boundary district. Last night eight cars came down, from Hartford Junction. They were shipped by the Winnipeg, Golden Crown and Athelstan, and this morning three loaded cars came in from the B. C. mine. In t all thirteen cars were sent to Trail today, .t is expected that the B. C. will maintain a steady ship^ ment of from three to five cars. Yesterday the plant for the R. Bell mine arrived here, and today is being unloaded. Seventy workmen* arrived yesterday to do surface w,i.rk' era the track between here and^Greeawood. It is reported that the EhciVmeadowi9 will be filled in along the-railway track.-* C, P. R. Have Arranged to Carry Passengers to Greenwood Celebration. Last evening Capt. Troup, superintendent of the C. & W., telephoned the transportation committee-that he had seen E. J. Coyle, general passenger agent of the C. P.: R. and arranged with him that commencing Thursday, Jue 28th single fare rates would be given on the C. & W. railway good to return until Sunday, July 1st. In addition a Sunday train wiil be run from Greenwood on the same time as the regular, in order to give the visitors an opportunity to get back home in time for the Nelson celebration: The single fare rate is good from all Kootenay and Boundary points. The arrangement is entirely satisfactory to the committee who appreciate the interest the genial captain took in the matter. The question of transportation having been'settled, a large crowd of visitors are expected from the Kootenay cities. Lacrosse, baseball and ���hose teams are also expected, so that a big-celebration can be confidently looked for. . ...;, The Nelson lacrosse team have asked the general committee for $150. to get the Greenwood boys over there for the celebration, but the matter has not yet been decided. The Greenwood lacrosse boys are practising every night. There is plenty of good material here. Sortie of the old veterans are ��� showing. that they, have not lost the knack of handling a stick, and there are some promising youngsters. GOV. McINNIS J It Is Said, Will Tender His Resignation RATHER THAN DISMISSAL BIO FIRE AT PHOENIX. Serious Bush Fire Raging There TodayT-Small Houses burned. Phoenix, June 14.���[Special tq The Times.]-���A serious bush fire is raging on the west end of the; Old Ironsides claim. A strong wind is blowing, and unless checked, may dp serious damage on the Rumberger townsite. One or two. small houses^have been, burned arid the school-house is imminent danger.

Fort Stebi.e, June 13.-^-One of the most singular things which has' ever occurred in this Province was -the ihys- terious disappearance of one of .the ballot-boxes from the office of Returning Officer. Ede. From what can: be learned'' it was taken about 11 o'clock Sunday evening.. Policeman Bafnes was called when the theft was first discovered, arid on the statement of Dan Munro, D. Stadlander was arrested and. lodged in jail. His preliminary examination was held this afternoon, all the evidence for the crown was taken and three days were given for the defense to prepare its _case.___MunroIs^testimonyiwas^.tp^,th_e effect that he saw Stadlander with the box under his arm, positively identifying it "as a ballot-box.. No one seems to have seen the box in the possession of Stadlander. Other witnesses testify that the returning officer was drunk, and that Stadlander and another man went with him to his office. What was done there no one seems to know clearly, but the ballot-box is gone, and no trace of it has been found. The loss of the box does not invalidate the election, as the record of votes had been taken. It is generally believed to be the work of some drunkard who thought to return the box, but such an excitement was created when the loss became known that he was afraid. The box was taken from Wasa, one of the small polling-places, and would not, in any event, have effected lhe result. A Life and Death Fight. Mr. W. A�� Hines of Manchester, la., writing of his almost miraculous escape from death, says: " Exposure after measles induced serious lung trouble, which ended iu Consumption.

Robert* Beaven and Hon. D. W. Hifi._.ins-Martin Has Nothing to Say. Victoria, B. C. June 14.���Well informed politicans are expecting the an- nouncement|that the Lieutenant Governor has resigned. Everybody is of the opinion that the honorable gentleman will take this course rather than be dismissed. The premier returned from the mainland tonight, but he had nothing.to say for publication. The local papers print important interviews with Robert Beaven and ex-speaker Higgins on the crisis. Mr. Beaven says: "When the legislature in session assembled, condemned Mr. Martin as premier;, His Hon. the Lieutenant Governor Mclnnes, said: "I understand the wishes of the electors better than you do. I therefore send you to your homes and shall continue Martin in power and appeal to the people." The .electors have answered : "We do not want Martin's government", thus, endorsing the view held by the legislature and condemning his honor's conduct." There is only one answer arid one course open for Mclnnes, and no doubt 'he has taken it; that is, to hand his resignation to His Excellency the ^Governor General. Mr. Higgins asked when he thought the crisis - would end, said: "Soon, if members will lose sight .of every other consideration save that of expediting public 'business." ������" "Do you think a strong ministry can be7formed put j)f the new house ?" "Yes,.thereis fine-material in the b'ody without; resorti/ig to a coalition with the members who were elected to support the premier." .. . "Do you] think Governor will resign ?". "Certainly, have we not the statement of William Mclnnes that his honor has twice tendered his resig- natiori, aiid the furi.ier sta'cmerit of Sir Wilfred La in*? or and Sir David Mills that in calling on Mr. Martin, Mr. Mclnnes took his official life in his own hands."

THE) GREENWOOD WEEKLY TIM^S. J. WAtl Ct>* meekly Citnes. PUBLISHED BY The Greenwood Times Printing and Publishing Company. Limited. Duncan Ross _ Editor. SATURDAY, JUNE 16, L900, FIRST THE GOVERNOR. For the next.few days the Province will probably vex itself in speculating whether Mr. Martin will resign at once or wait until the house meets. The disposition of Mr. Martin, however, is neither the most interesting nor the most important consideration at the present time. It is desirable to know as soon as possible what is to be done with the lieutenant-governor. The' house will meet in a short time, and whether Mr. Martin shall decide to wait and accept his dismissal from tlie members-elect is a matter of little consequence. The retention of office for a week or two more or less is not of consequence enough to disturb the public equanimity. The country has pronounced against him, and if he does not voluntarily take himself off today he will be packed off tomorrow. The situation in respect to the lieutenant-governor is an affair of quite another sort. The vote on Saturday was as much against Mr. Mclnnes as against *Mr. Martin. The latter was unpopular enough in his own person and on his own account, but there is little doubt that much' of the emphasis of his defeat was due the lieutenant-governor. British Columbia viewed with much alarm the encroachments of - the past year or two on the right of the people to govern themselves. Mr. Mclnnes had committed acts in direct variance with the great principle of responsible government. He was assuming to make and unmake cabinets accornirig to his own will, and without regard to the wishes of the people. He presumed on a prerogative which was stretched to an alarming length in a successful effort to force the Province to accept changes that were personally agreeable to himself. The latest outrage of this kind was unparelleled in the grosness of it. He selected for premier a man who was absolutely without a following, after straining constitutional practice in making way for hitu by dismissing advisers who had the confidence of the House. To complete a cabinet this premier was obliged to go into the highways and byways of the Province and select as colleagues men who were not known in public life, who were without knowledge of public affairs, without experience, and without responsibility. Their acceptance by the lieutenant-governor was even a greater scandal than the selection of Mr. Martin as premier. These things were alarming, and the people voted to coridem. them. They voted to condemn the lieutenant-governor who was guilty of them. Now they are waiting to know from Ottawa whether he is to be continued in office, or whether there shalUbethat_-vindica- tion of the rights of the people without which responsible government would become a farce.���Nelson Miner. THE REINCARNATION OF THE LIBERAL PARTY. Unless Liberals are slow to learn the lessons taught by bitter experience they will lose no time in healing the wounds made during the recent Provincial campaign. The responsibility for the weak and unsatisfactory position in which all true Liberals were placed rests with the avowed leaders of the Liberal party in this Province. Their sins of omission cover a period of many months prior to the insane action of the lieutenant-governor in calling on Joseph Martin to form a government. They allowed matters to drift from month to month and from year to year without taking any decisive action. A strong but disorganized political body wandered hopelessly in the wilderness without a recognized Provincial leader. When a designing lieutenant-governor foisted a political adventurer on the Province and on the Liberals, many Liberals, ignorant of the traditions of the party or indifferent to the consequences, followed his leadership. The result was inevitable. The Liberals, who have always been found struggling for good government and the rights of the people, were hopelessly divided, and the Province is face to face with another dose of Turnerism or a period of Conservatism. Either is preferable to Martinism, but had the Liberals been organized, had there been a strong guiding hand, Martin could , have been sidetracked and tlie Liberals would have swept the Province. The pill is a bitter one to swallow but there islno use .vhining about the past. There.'tnust be a complete organization of the party in this province. Discarded and discredited politicians who -take advantage of the lack .of party discipline to exploit their own personal. interests and who gain strength by misdirected zeal of foolish enthusiasts, must be dragooned out of the party. The forcas must be marshalled and they must have a strong leader. The Liberals will then be ready for any emergency and they will no longer be the plaything of the schemers within the ranks or a factor in promoting the interests of their political opponents. So long as the Liberals sit down aid do nothing but prate about the state- manship of Sir.Wilfrid and the glorious record of the great party, so long will the schemers and a*dventurers thrive and Conservatives gain strength There is no special Providence guarding or guiding the destinies of the Liberal party. For them there is no royal road to success. They cannot ride into office on a pullman car. They must take the rough places like their opponents and if they are to be a factor in provincial politics they must have a strong leader and a sound po1icy. To say lhat there is no party politics in this province is merely inventing an excuse for shirking work and responsibility. The Conservatives take mighty good care to promote their own interests whereever a favorable opportunity presents itself. * The Liberals of this province are weak today. They will degenerate still further unless something is done and done quickly. . SATURDAY'S ELECTION. The people of British Columbia are to be heartily congratulated upon their work on Saturday. They have told the world that they have still some regard for constitutional government arid that they will not allow a designing lieutenant governor to foist on them a government of his own making. Saturday's election was a strong verdict against Mclnnes and Martin. What the outcome will be it is yet too early to say, but Martin1 has been crushed. The Times having supported the Hon. C. It. Mackintosh in this constituency, appreciating his ability and the valuable service he would, render the province at this time, regrets his defeat. The people of the Boundary cannot be reproached for not doing their duty. They were about evenly devided when a minister of the Crown could reasonably expect a big majority since Mr. Mackintost was not so well known arid he had not been so intimately associated with the welfare of the district as with that of Rossland. The responsibility for defeating Mr. Mr. Mackintosh rests with the people of Rossland. They were bound to defeat Martin. They were determined to reward and honor the man who brought $7,000,O0Q into their camp and inspired new life into their city and they piled up. an adverse vote that swamped the rest of the district! We cannot cavil at the decision of the people but we venture to express-the-hope-that-the good people of Rossland are thoroughly satisfied with themselves. McINNIS MUST GO. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in reply to Colonel Prior, stated that the Dominion government could not interfere until after the election. The people were to be the sole judges of the actions of the lieutenant-governor. There was only one meaning that could be taken from Sir Wilfrid Laurier's words. If the people of British Columbia endorsed Mclnnes' appointment of Martin, then the governor would remain; but if the people repudiated Martin's premiership Mclnnes would be dismissed. The people have spoken and the Dominion government must act. Saturday the people did not divide on questions of party or principle; they almost unanimously voted against personal government and its introducers, Mclnnes and Martin. The Dominion government should act at once. The people gave their verdict on Saturday. It was final, so far as they are concerned. To delay the dismissal of Mclnnes would simply give Martin an opportunity to corrupt those representatives elected by the people, and thus defeat the very object they had in view when they voted on Saturday. Saturday's verdict was that Martin must go. The surest way to get rid of Martin is to first get rid of Mclnnes. Sir Wilfrid has now no choice. Mclnnes must go. REDISTRIBUTION. Election day placed on record some striking figures in reference to the grave injustice that is being done the interior so far as proper representation in the legislature is concerned.' In the Rossland constituency 2,606 votes were polled. In Victoria 3,468. Victoria gets four representatives and Rossland one. The four districts of West Kootenay aggregated 6,202 votes and having representation here on the same rule as applies to cities, the four districts are entitled to not less than twelve members. Again there iwere 1,246 votes polled in the Boundary district, which entitles the district to two members according to the standard that holds good in other parts of the province. Boundary rerfiains without a member, and if Joe Martin had his way, would so remain until 1902. No government can study the election "figures without coming to the conclusion that Boundary should be granted representation at the very earliest opportunity. McINNES MUST GO. The destiny of the Province is now in the hands of the lieutenant-governor. < The good work of the electors on Saturday may be nullified by further bluudering on the part of Mclnnes if he is allowed to retain the position he now occupies. Lieutenant-Governor Mclnnes' actions in the past demonr strated that he was anything but a safe representative of the Queen. He succeeded, iu bringing the high office into contempt and plunging the Province into a political turmoil. The electors wiped out the effects of his absurd action on Saturday, but there is a limit to the people's power. Tliey cannot go further. All they can do is to insist that Sir Wilfrid Laurier carry out the promise made on the floor of the Dominion House. Mclnnes should be dismissed before he has an opportunity to thwart the will of the people; There should be in the governor's chair at this juncture a man who will carry out the expressed wishes of the people. Such a man is not Mclnnes..'. SHIPPING MINES. Boundary has at last reached a permanent shipping stage. Up to date but few mines have sent ores to the smelters; but the number and output are continually increasing, and by the time the local smelters are completed Boundary will occupy a;;.prominent position in the Province as a shipping district. Like all camps of big' ledges development has been slow, but it has been sure and steady, and Boundary will shortly prove that all the en. comiums have not been exaggerated. The C. P. R. officials who were in the city today speak in a more (jonfident tone than they did two months ago, when a combination of adverse.circum- stances militated against the progress and development of the district. They are now confident that tfie company they represent will be amply repaid for the large expenditure of money made in securing railway communication to the different mining camps. . VOTING STRENGHT. ..Jgome time ago jhe_jjr��and Forks Gazette published what it claimed to be an official list showing the number of voters in the different centers in'the Rossland, district. Grand Forks was next to Rossland, and this important fact was telegraphed all over the country. The Times then told its contemporary to wait for election day and publish the result and it would be seen that Greenwood had a far greater voting strength than Grand Forks. Here is what the ballot-boxes declare : Curtis. Mackintosh. Total Grand Forks U3 119 262 Greenwood 226 217 443 Columbia 48 84 132 It will thus be seen that Greenwood has 181 votes more than Grand Forks, or 49 more than Grand Forks and Columbia combined. THE CITY COUNCIL. Business Transacted at Last Night's Reeular Meeting. Aldermen Sharpe, Bannerman, Sullivan and Sutherland were, present at last night's meeting of the city council, with Mayor Hardy in the chair. The street-sprinkling question received the attention of the council for some time. Finally it was decided that the city assessor visit the sprinkling district and ascertain the names of those who were not on the street- sprinkling petition; also instructing him to send a notice to such persons the assessor is to collect amount due for last month's sprinkling. The finance committee reported that they had interviewed the bank and were informed that a note signed by the finance committee and countersigned by the mayor would be, necessary in order to increase the present overdraft. Motion . passed giving finance committee and mayor power to sign a note for an overdraft of ��3,000. "'JA^^1 7^ THE^OOMMEROIAL Is the Supply point for the mining camps.

Re Rendell vs. City, the council thought that the opinion of some eminent solicitor should be had on the evidence given in the case and on Justice Martin's decision, and also as to the advisability of appealing same or appealing for reduction of damages, and whether it would be advisable to appeal for a new trial. Decided the matter be submitted to Mr.. Bodwell. The question of gambling being conducted so openly was discussed for some time, and Aldermen Sharpe, Bannerman and Cropley wege appointed a special committee to look into the matter. The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p. tn. A GREAT CELEBRATION. The Committee Arranging For Successful Sports. The celebration committee are arranging for a two day celebration that will eclipse anything previously held in the Boundary country. A well attendedmeeting of the committee was held last night in the city hall. Communications were read'from the Rossland hose team stating they would come if arrangements could be made so that they would be able to reach Nelson by Monday. The excursion committee took the matter up with Capt. Troup and he said he would endeavor to arrrange a train service that would meet the wishes of the committee. This morning Secretary Ehrlich received a letter from the Grand Forks hose team, stating that they would come "and bring their own cart if necessary. '��� The finance committee reported that already $2,101.25 had been subscribed, witha'prbmise of-more-money.-�����-���_^_ The following arrangements have been made for drilling contests: Double-handed���First prize, $120; second prize, $50.

THE GREENWOOD WEEKLY TIMES. ___��i__i______a_M___Miiia___Mi____ii Thirty-Seven Feet of Solid Gold-Copper Ore Encountered at the Two Hundred-Foot Level of the Deadwood Camp Property, and the Ledge Is Not Yet Cut Through-The Values Entirely Satisfactory to the Management. Thirty-seven feet of solid gold-copper ore and no footwall in sight.!; Even in a camp remarkable for its big ledges, such a strike will attract the attention of the mining men. Superintendant Henry Johns of the Sunset mine, and his efficient assistant, George L. Fraser, were in the city Saturday evening. As they were both Mackintosh men the result of the day's election was not likely to be responsible for the happy smiles they wore, and a- Times' representative ventured an inquiry. "No it isn't politics, it is ore. We have struck it big on the Sunset. We are cross- cutting a big ledge at the 200-foot level arid are in tonight over 30 feet and we are not through it yet. ��� The ore is a heavy sulphide chiefly pyrrhotite. Values ? Well I .lon't care to make the values public without instructions, but I may tell you that they are entirely satisfactory. Come out and see for yourself. It is well worth seeing." The invitation of the general superintendent was accepted and a Times' representative yesterday went out and not only enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Johns, but also saw what con- fin, ed Mr. Johns' statement regarding the srtike on the Sunset. *��� Last March the working. shaft was sunk to the 200-foot level. Then Mr. I Johns decided to run a drift a distance of 1,200 feet to meet the Crown Silver shaft, which is being sunk to the 300- foot level. Mr. Johns expected that this drift would cross-cut two parallel ledges of ore7 The drift was run 158 j feet when a porphyry dyke was en- I countered. Mr. Johns believed that behind tha dyke was an ore body* and he changed the course of the drift in a westerly direction, in order to cut the dyke at right angles. /.'The drift ran through the> porphyry a distance of 30 feet and met supentine with, stringers of copper ore for 35 feet, .then another dyke 15 feet in width was run through and behind this was 186 feet of quartz. Before getting through this Mr; I Johns was beginning to get discouraged, believing that his surmise' was incorrect, but he pluckily pushed the drift forward and was rewarded. The drift ran into solid sulphide ore, and is still there, although in the last few days 37 feet has been cut through the ore body. Any one seeing the ore and the formation cannot but be convinced that here at the 200-foot level on the Sunset a typical Deadwood camp ledge has been encountered, with this distinction, that the ore is more heavily charged with pyrrhotite and carries more gold and less copper than the ore I usually found in Deadwood camp. The ledge runs north and south, with a dip of about 60 degrees to the east. The drift will be continued until the other wall is reached. A winze will also be sunk on the ore and an upraise made to the surface. Mr. Johns expects by continuing* the drift to strike another. vein running parallel to the one just discovered. The strike is an important one not only to the owners of the Sunset but to the district. The company owning the property, the Montreal^Boundary Creek company, have installed one of the largest plants inthe district. They are in a position to exploit theriches of the mine in a short time, and if the views of Superintendent Johns prove correct they have in the Sunset one of the largest properities in the camp. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Johns and his assistant, Mr. Fraser, for the large amount of work that has been carried out since the plant has been installed, in March last. Up to the present the main working shaft has been widened and sunk 186 feet, the CrowaSilver shaft has been sunk 48 feet, and 572 feet of work in drifts and crosscuts have been carried out. ���..������'���'' On the Grown Silver, an adjoining property owned by the same company, a contract was let last week to sink the shaft to the 300-foot level. , 7^ Owing to a combination of circum stances, Eastern-capital has been some what chary about investing in the Boundary country, but strikes such as has just been made on the Sunset will give them new confidence. crease of $1,449,694, equivalent to an increase of 13# per cent, over last year. - In consideration of the fact that the temporary closing down of .certain of the mines caused a deficit: ;of$910,:644 in silver and lead values alone, the above is a very creditable showing. The reports state that there is every reason to believe that but for this shutting- down there would have been derived from these same mines an in crease of $500,000 in place of the present deficit, which would have brought the yearjs-increase to $2,863,- 159,. or about 27 per cent, over last year. The gold production- for the year 1899, which includes both the placer and lode gold, amounted to the very sum of $4,202,473, and it is very gratifying to note that never before in the history of the Province has the gold production reached the four-million mark. The nearest approach was in 1863, when the production was $3,913,- 563, the figures this year leading those of any-previous year by $288,910. ;The yield of placer gold was $1,344>900, which. ha.d not; been equalled within the' past 12 years. This increase is attributed by the report to the Atlin district, which during the'year .entered the list as a serious producer, and, despite the disadvantage of a late first season and many disputes "as to the ownership of claims, has yielded about $800,000 in gold. The output of gold obtained from lode mining was $2,857,573,!an increase ovor last year of sonie $656,356, due chiefly to the great increased tonnage of the Rossland camp and the operations of the Ymir'mines in the Nelson mining division. The amount of fine copper produced in the Province during the year 1899 was 7,722,591 pounds, an increase of about 6 per cent over last year. The report shows that while this increase in the actual output is comparatively slight, the;; exceedingly /good7 market prices, ruling' throughout the year caused the value of such production to amount to; a.n Increase of about 55 per cent over that of 1898. So far the copper-producing districts are practically confined to three���Rossland, Nelson and the Coast. The copper production of the Coast district for the year was 654,972 pounds 7of: fine copper, produced f rom so,me 5,200 tons of .'ore, the product of mines; on Texeda Island, on Mount Sicker on the east, coast, and hear Alberni on the west cpast of Vancouver Island. The fact that many of the largest producers of the Slocan had been shut down either partially or entirely for the greater part of the producing- year since June or July, owing to aquestion between the mine owners and their workmen, accounts for, the poor showing of the silver-lead jproducts chiefly! ���___._. _"_.

As soon as complaint was made the sheriff started out to capture his men, and on Sunday last he succeeded in finding Faust at Bolster as he was preparing to dodge the sheriff's vigilant eye, but the officer was too quick for him and had him in the toils before he made goo'd his escape. Wheeler, the other party to the crime, was apprehended at Molson some few hours later in the day.

The annual report of the minister of mines for the year ending December 31st, 1899, is a very clear and comprehensive review of the mining- industry in this province during the past year. It shows that the total mineral output of the province for the year 1899 amounted to $12,356,558 as against $10,906,861 for the previous year, an in- in that districts. The total'yearly ton nage of the Slocan district has dropped from 30,691 tons in 1898, to 21,507 tons in 1899, according to the returns of ore treated or shipped. The tonnage actually mined, according to the report, would be somewhat less,;, as some of the mines having concentrators utilized the period of enforced idleness underground, in running through their mills dumps of second grade ore, which had accumulated, whicli fhas'yhelp&lj; to swell .the tonnage of tlie ore~-shiipped and accounts for the greater propor tionate decrease in the silver and lead contents of ore,, there having been no appreciable decrease in*the assay value of the ores "mined.5 "This decrease," says the report, "Is in no way attributable to any failure or depreciation in the mines themselves, but solely to the fact that they have been worked only a portion of the year'" / '7/ 7' '7 -"'file* total^silver^^u^iSn^fbT^tlie year amounted to 2,939,413 ounces, valued at $1,663,708, a decrease from the production "of 1898 of 1,357,619 ounces of fine silver, and of $712,133. ������:( y " Quebec Province has contributed largely in the financing of mining companies operating in the Boundary district. Well-to-do business men of Sherbrooke are heavily interested in the success of the War Eagle Copper- Gold Mining company, owning and operating the War : Eagle claim near Phoenix, in Greenwood camp. Twenty- four men are on the pay-roll of this company, of which Clifford G. Buck is the resident manager. The War Eagle h<ts the distinction of being one of the earliest locations in that camp, the stakes having been set up by Robert Denzler and Thomas Johnson in August, 1891. At that time the law provided the size of the claim should be 600x1,500 feet, and within these limits the two prospectors acquired ground that was literally covered with mineral-bearing rock. Considering that at the time the claim was located few prospectors had ventured into the district, they had a pick of the big ore bodies that cropped so conspicuously on the surface. Recently a Times' representative visited the mine. Considerable surface trenching* has been done in numerous portions of the claim and two prospecting shafts sunk. - These workings showed the ore to be well mineralized with more or less copper sulphurets. The present development is by shaft and drifts. The. main working shaft is down to a depth of 100 feet. It is a double compartment 4.2x4.6 and 4.2x3 feet respectively. At the 100-foot level a drift west has been run 165 feet. At this point it is now proposed to fun an incline raisie to the surface, which will pass through, it is believed, a rich chute of ore that is open on the surface at a point where the outlet will be made7 The east drift has progressed 85 feet and is to be continued to apoint under an old shaft, sunk to a depth of 30 feet, where an upraise will be made to.connect with same. These drifts have cross-cut several stringers of copper ore, but so far no attempt has been made to follow any up, as it is believed that one of the pay chutes of the ore body is to the west, where the rise is to be made. The mine is equipped with a splendid machinery plant, which is housed ih a substantial manner. The gallows frame for the hoist being one of the finest in the camp and of modern de- sign. The plant consists of half of a ten drill Rand duplex compressor, an 80 h7p. Jenckes boiler and a 30 h. p. hoist capable of hoisting from a depth of 400 feet. The water is pumped to the surface with a 14-7-12 Knowles station pump with a capacity of 1,200 gallons per -hour. The water supply for the machinery is pumped by a No. 5 Cameron, with a capacity of 800 gallons per tiomv Altogether, the War Ej-gle tfas~oneof thelnostmodernTplants in the district, splendidly installed and BIG PLANT FOR LE ROI.

Are Having Another 40-Drill Installed. A Rossland dispatch says: its second 40-drill compressor has all arrived from Sherbrooke, the*Le Roi Mining Company is calling for tenders for a third compressor of the same capacity, which will be needed as soon as the contract-can be let and the machine built and installed. There is now in use one 40-drill compressor and the second 40-drill machine is now on the ground being installed. Two carloads of it have not arrived, but as they include the parts which will be needed last, they will not delay the installation. When the new compressor is in operation, there will be capacity for 92 drills, but it is proposed to then lay off the 12-drill machine except in emergencies on account of the high cost of operating it compared with the larger machines. This will leave 80 drills which will be, about enough to operate the Le Roi mine to its full capacity when the new hoist is iu operation, and at the same time to carry on the development of the Josie No. 1 and Nickel Plate. It will not be very long before all three of these mines are sufficiently developed to warrant their beginning to produce ore; in fact they could produce now if they had the proper railroad connections. Additional power for dr^ls will then be needed in the stopes of the three mines. Forty more drills will not be any too much if the Le Roi is to be kept up to its full producing capacity and a safe reserve of power is to be provided. B. A. C. mines will then have compressors for 120 drills, leaving out of consideration the 12-diill machine, which will be held in reserve. This new machine will give the B. A.

The -Dominion Day celebration committee have got down to work with a vim, and if the present enthusiasm is kept up the celebration will be the very best ever held in the interior. There was a full attendance at the meeting held in the city hall last night, with D. A. Cameron in the chair. W. M. Law, chairman of the finance committee, reported that they had. canvassed the city for subscriptions and that up to date they had received $1,822, The committee were not through yet, and they believed they could secure over $2,000 for prizes. The report was received with applause. The sports committee, horse-racing- and drilling committees reported progress. They were.awaiting the report of the finance committee, but now that was so encouraging they would go right ahead. Arnold Hallett was placed on the music committee, instead of Chief Henton, who was called to St. Paul on account of the illness of his father. John R.Porter offered a band of 10 pieces for the two days' celebration for $100. Mike Kane, president of the Miners- Union, asked that the union be allowed to give the dance. The committee decided, after discussing the matter, to give the dance under the auspices of. the celebration committee. Communications were read from the Nelson and Rossland baseball teams asking for further particulars reguard- ing the celebration. The excursion committee reported that they were considering the matter with the C. P. R. officials but there was as yet nothing definite to report. The different committees were grant- the following amounts: Drilling, 5400: Horse racing, $400; Music, $100; Decorations, $100; Sports, 700; Printing, $75. Messrs.

The report of the annual meetirif*; of the shareholders of lhe Bank of Montreal will prove . interesting reading. The Bank of Montreal is very closely associated with the business life of the country and the remarkably fine showing- made during the past year speaks volumes for the growing time in this country. It ia said by some that a* bank thrives in hard times but the facts do. not bear out this contention. As will b-seen by Manager Clouton's statement, the year was an exceptionally good one for the bank in the Eastern provinces, where they are enjoying an unparalleled prosperity, but out here in British Columbia where mining" and other business has been retarded by a combination of adverse circumstances, the bank has not done so well. That it has been an exceptional year with the Bank of Montreal is shown. by the directors increasing the rest account $1-000,000 from the earnings of the company. In addition to this the bank contributed largely to patriotic funds, the Ottawa fire sufferers and -for other charitable-objects..TheTbatik ���"'.'WANTED..; ������';'./'���������' Tenders for cutting and pileing 1,000 cords-of four-foot wood' ingood timber.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-06-16 |
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. |
