The Popular Smelter Manager and Family Arrive in the City. Paul Johnson, M.

Mr. Johnson was accompanied by Mrs.- Johnson and two children. They went to housekeeping in the handsome residence erected for the.manager near the smelter. When seen by a Times representative Mr. Johnson was as good natured and enthusiastic as ever. "I had a most delightful trip" he said "and am now ready to take active charge of the smelter. My principals in New York cabled me to Europe to hasten here to complete the smelter as they had been receiving the most encouraging reports from the Mother Lode and were anxious to be in a position to treat the ore. I spent four days in New York and there met several of the shareholders of the British Columbia Copper company who visited the mine this summer. They were all highly impressed with its immense showing and predicted a great future for the Boundary a=i a mining country. "When will the smelter be ready ? Well, the buildings are all completed, and some of the machinery is here but owing to labor troubles E. P; Allis &' Co.,- of Milwaukee have been delayed and it"will be the 15th of October before the last of the machinery leaves Milwaukee. "I-intend to get the sampling mill running as soon as possible and get a good supply of-ore in the bunkers. The smelter will be blown in sometime in November. "During my visit to Norway I visited some copper mines that I started mauy "years ago.' -Since then millions'of dollars have been spent in their development and to-day they are the largest copper mines, in Europe. Xt takes lots.of money and time tq open up mines wherever they are. While the same. rule applies here I am confident that we have one of the greatest camps in the world" concluded,Mi*. Johnson.

BI.ACK Eholt, August 16th, 1900. THE EVENING STAR Andrew Laidlaw Secures a Promising Property in Wellington Camp���Improvements at the Knob Hill and ���ld Ironsides-Meeting of the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling Company's Directors. In the past two weeks mining men have been coming to Greenwoo'd on a still hunt for properties. Experts are in the hills looking at different claims with a view of bonding for the capitalists which they represent,* and"there are strong indications that during the next month many deals will be made. The first of importance for a considerable time was closed;last'we'ek when Andrew Laidlaw took a bond on the Evening Star and Sibley from J. K. and R. S. Fraser. The price mentioned in the bond is $45,000, payments running over 15 months; work to be commenced in a short time. The Evening- Star and Sibley are situate near the Old Anaconda road, about one mile from Hartford Junction. The assess-, ment work for the two claims has been done on the Evening Star. A ledge of Copper ore over 125 feet wide has been uncovered and traced for 500 feet. Assays as high as 19 3-10-per cent copper has.been received and the gold values are about $2. The showing is of * so promising a nature that Mr. Laidlaw felt justified in expending considerable money in further development of the property. Shipments of high grade ore can be'made from the surface and if the ledge' maintains* its present values : and proportion with depth, the Evening Star, will be one of the biggest properties in_ the vicinity/ Mr- Laidlaw willput a f arceo.f men to work onjthe property in a few days. The two 80-horse power horizontal return tubular boilers and the 9x12 hoisting engine lately received at the Knob Hill mine are how being placed in position in .the commodious frame building erected some"time? since near the entrance to the main tunnei. The 10-drill air compressor ���- for this mine did not come in with the remainder of the plant, but its arrival is looked for daily. After this new plant shall have been put into running order the development of the Knob Hill and the adjoining Grey Eagle will be actively continued. We have constantly on hand all the School Books in use in our public XX schools, 3C X X ALSO SLATES, SLATE PENCILS, ; CRAYONS, ERASERS, DICTIONARIES, SCRIBBLERS, EXCERCISE BOOKS ETC. ETC. The old shaft house over the Old Ironsides No. 1 shaft has been demolished and a new building, 28x50, erected in its place. The old hoisting ;ehgine-has"been^removed'-and anew 9x12 hoist, similar to that obtained for the Knob Hill, substituted for it. -A safety platform cage has been put in this shaft, thereby facilitating the work of hoisting rock. The big hoist at the No. 2 shaft is to be placed on a more solid foundation , than that it now stands on. Atnew building is to be erected alongside the present one and in this the hoist will be set on a bed of rock. Below ground the big stopes in the Victoria are opening out well, yielding large quantities of freely mineralized ore. The ore bins are being kept full, the daily output easily keeping up to shipments to the smelter. The business block, situate opposite to the Old Ironsides hotel, and now being erected for Messrs. Jay P. Graves and W. Yolen Williams, is well on towards completion. The mine offices of the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill will be removed to this building as soon as can be. Altogether is a geneial activity about these mines, which it is believed have now fairly entered upon a prosperous and profitable career. CANADIAN PACIFIC IS Smith... & McRae :: : COPPER STREET : : : On Thursday, 23rd inst., the directors of the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling company met in the company's office, Greenwood. Mr. Hector McRae, of Rossland, representative in this province of the London and Canada Syndicate, also attended, and informed the directors that a meeting of the syndicate had been called for that day in London, England, to consider a proposal to sell 7,000 of the syndicate's ��1 preference shares, the proceeds to b. applied chiefly to the further development Qf the claims of the Boun dary Creek Mining company,, near Greenwood. It was also proposed to endeavor to sell some of the McDonnell ranch, situate about a mile north of Greenwood, for residence or garden purposes,, so as to increase the amount to be available for mining work on the claims. Mr. McRae promised to inform the directors the result of the London meeting immediately after re-; ceipt by him of advices from London, England. The sale of the company's diamond drill was authorized and Mr. McRae was. requested to try and find a"pur- chaser. It was mentioned at the meeting that the London and Canada Syndicate had to date taken up, under their option on the balance of the company's treasury stock, 275;000 shares. Besides these the syndicate had acquired at least 400,000 shares from othe"r holders, s d that its interest in the; company has been increased to more than one-third of the 1,500,000 shares which comprise the whole of the stock. It was also stated that the net proceeds of the two- carloads of ore sent to Trail were; $3,- 759.39 and that this mohey.had already been expended. It was decided to hold- another meeting of directors as soon after receipt by Mrr McRae of ^advices from London as shall be practicable.:" Development work will -shortly yt>7 resumed vat^tlie* 200-foot' 'level of?the Snowshoe mine. The new boiler will make available more power for pumping and hoisting, so that workniay be done in the crosscuts from the main shaft without interfering with the supply of compressed air for running the machine drills, of which there are now four or five on the mine. With wort- being pushed at the 200-foot level and as well at the.railway tunnel, now being run into the hii near the southern boundary of the claim, the Snowshoe should from this on make an increasingly good showing As was expected, the shipment of ore from the Buckhorn mine to the Trail smelter gave very high results. W. C. Noble, the resident representative oE the company this week received a cheque from the smelter representing the net value of the shipment of 17 tons. The ore gave $24.32 to the ton. T.he__cqpper_v__L^_^_^-___5'inie _Per cent> gold $5.70 and 30 cents^ in silver. Other shipments will be sent from the property. The following gentlemen connected with the British Columbia (Rossland and Slocan) Syndicate, of London, England, owning the Snowshoe mine in Greenwood camp, arrived in Greenwood last Thursday and the next day went up to the mine: Geo. S. Water- ton, chairman of directors; Lewis Jones, M. D., a large shareholder; Anthony J. McMillan, managing director, and J. W. Astley, C. E., consulting engineer. Mr. Geo. Holford, of England, also formed one of the party. A week is being spent at the mine, which is opening up very satisfactorily and which will from this on be more expeditiously developed, now having more steam power available for mining purposes. Mr. Waterlow and-Dr. Jones will shortly return to England, where they will be able to assure their associates in this enterprise that the mine gives much promise, both of permanency and value. Mr. C. E. Laidlaw, of the banking firm of Laidlaw & Co., New York City, came in on last Friday night's train and remained until Monday as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. Keffer, Anaconda. Mr. Laidlaw is treasurer of the British Columbia Copper company, limited, so came in to see the company's Mother Lode mine and smelter. He visited as well the No. 7 mine in Central camp. Everything at cost at the Government street Furniture Store, one block north of Postoffice. Preparing for a Large Output of Ore From the Boundary. Mr. W. O. Miller; of Vancouver, C. P. R. car service agent, with head- huarters. at Vancouver, and Mr. J. S. Lawrence, of Trail, Columbia and " Western railway trainmaster, came in by last Thursday night's train. On Friday they visited the several shipping mines in Summit, Wellington and Greenwood camps, leaving Greenwood a special train at 7 o'clock in the morning. From the mines they went to Grand Forks; where they visited the Granby smelter. Returning, they reached Greenwood, at about 1a.m.' On Saturday morning, in . company with a Times representative, they looked over the British Columbia Copper company's smelter at Greenwood, ��� Mr. Rudolf Liden, M. ^-> courteously showing them around. Afterwards they left for Robson on the ordinary ' train at.noon of the-same day. From these officials lit was learned that their particular business on this , visit was to ascertain the number of cars that will. be. needed for ore shipments, so that the requirements in this>* direction of the shipping mines may - be amply provided for. It is the intention of the C. P. R. to make such provision of cars-as will leave no . reasonable grounds for complaint. The situation having been carefully reviewed there should now be no lack' of transportation facilities. If cars be provided in sufficient number, as it is . intendedthey should be, ore shipments should speedily increase. After seeing the big ore reserves at several of the mines anck with the smelters at both Trail and Grand Forks in readiness to treat large quantities of ore, Messrs. . Miller and Lawrence are of the opinion that.it will not be-long- before the expectations of* the railway company, in_ ��� regard to outward.freight, will in soiije. measure be realized. It now appears to rest very largely with mine owners ' whether or_uot the mines of the district shall fulfil the promise of an increasingly big output of ore that the public . 7 have frequently 1 been told they give.- Transportation and ore treatments facilities haying been furnished the time has now arrived for a practicall demonstration, by large shipments ot - ore, that'the; mineral resources of thq Boundary areas extensive and important as they have hitherto been-repre- sented to be.

" When, any great enterprise is started there are always those whose feitile imaginations see failure and disaster.' The Granby smelter did riot escape their attention. Twenty-four.\ hours after the smelter was blown in, .the rumor was current that the furnace had frozen., .: Twenty-four hours\ after therumor was first rhade public, a Times repre-; sentative visited the Granby smelter and found everything running1 as smoothly as clock work. A 250-ton furnace- is treating 275 tons of Knob Hill and Old Ironsides ore 7;eyery twenty-four hours. There 'has: riot been the slightest hitch arid the big. plant, from the power house: up, does its work, like a veteran.' ' y.;' While Greeii wood has riot the same direct interest in the Granby smelter that it has in that of the British Columbia -Copper'company, the fact.-is now pretty generally recognized -that all points of the Boundary district are so bound -together that the failure or success of an enterprise in brie portion has its influence on the entire district;. Hence, Greenwood like every -other portion of the Boundary, breathes! iree because^ the Granby smelter is a suc- cesss, and because it has been detrion- strated that the ore frbm representative Boundary mines can be treated at ai^'profitr" Greeriwopd congratulates Mrr Miner and Mr. Graves upon the success of their'enterprise. .,.-'���*-* The history- of the development of the mineral resources of the'Bburidafy country could not be-written without devo'ing the greater portion to Miner- Graves enterprises. " About three years ago J. P. Graves turned his attention to the development of the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides mines. Behind him was S. H. C. Mirier, a wealthy manufacturer of Granby, Quebec. No stronger support could be secured. Mr. Miner had plenty of courage, confidence and capital. "We have control of everything but the ore. We did not make that," was Mr. Miner's statement three years ago, "and we must plan accordingly. Everything must be based on the assumption that the ores are to be treated at a profit." '. Interested in the copper mines of Michigan and knowing that the enormous dividends paid by them was not because of high-grade ores but because the cost of production was reduced to the lowest possible amount, Mr. Miner saw no reason why the same'principle should no be applied in the Boundary and the big bodies of ore exploited at a profit. With this object in view the smelter was built dn the North Fork, e strearii was harnessed, not only,,to 'cure cheap power for the smelter, but for the mines as well. It is the intention as soon as the big plant for the mines is in place to transmit electrical power from the power house, at the smelter to Phoenix. A great saving in the cost of producing ore will thus be effected. ���_-"'- It is not surprising that Mr. Miner should loolFss-tisfied as sat on the verandah of the Hotel Yale on Saturday and looking up the North Fork saw -the successful culmination of his three The estimates were apparently an earnest of the intention of the government to change the policy of the past by giving the mining districts of the interior a greater measure of justice in* the matter of appropriations and ostensibly an acknowledgment of the fact that more liberal treatment should be accorded the sections of the province that contributed the greater portion of the general revenue. This at least was the view taken by those directly interested and they were prepared to give due credit to the government. But the introduction of an act doubling the taxation on the mining industry dissipated 'the congratulatory spirit of the taxpayers in the Kootenays and Boundary district, and they are now coming to the conclusions that the additional appropriations were merely intended as inducement to feel good natured while taxation was being doubled. It is impossible to conceive how any government imbued with a spirit of fair, play or having the best interests of the province at heait can continue to\milk the mining districts forthe benefit of the pocket borroughs. The appropriations, have never been based on the requirements of the district nor upon the amount of revenue contributed but upon the voting power of a constituency, no matter how small or unimportant it might be. The doubling of the taxation on the mining industry even after making due allowance ifor the" small increase in .the appropriations makes the injustice is still more glaring. 7 Setting aside the injustice of the tax itself, the method of collecting* it and the espionage which the government desires authority . to exercise are most unsatisfactory. At the outset the bill introduced says there shall'be assessed levied arid collected quarterly from every person owning, managing, leasing or working a mine, two per cent on the assessed value of all ore or mineral bearing substances, raised, gotten or gained from any lands in the province and which has been sold or removed from the premises. "Not satisfied with this the government wants to know all about'the mine- owners' business and adds: The owner or manager of every mine liable to pay the tax imposed hereby shall, in addition to any other state- merits "which may-be-required under the provisions of this act and amendments, transmit within seven days fjqm-the end of any quarter or period, as the case may be, to the assessor for the district in which the mine is situate, a statement showing: The amount of ore, minerals or mineral-bearing substances shipped or sent from, or treated on, the mining premises previous to the preceding quarter or period in respect of which return had not heretofore been received by the assessor: The amount of ore, minerals, or mineral-bearing substances shipped or sent from the mine during the preceding quarter: The name of the smelter or -mill and locality to which the same are sent: The cost. per ton for transportation to smelter or mill: The cost per ton for smelter or mill charges: The amount of ore, minerals, or mineral-bearing substances treated on the mining premises during the preceding quarter or period: The value of the ore treated on the mining premises, exclusive of the charges for freight or treatment: The value of the ore treated on the mining premises, exclusive of the charges for treatment. Kootenay nor Boundary does not ob ject to contributing to the revenue of the province, but they do object to paying more than a fair share and at the same time having the development of the district retarded by lack of money to construct necessary roads to open up new mineral regions. efficient mail service between Penticton and Midway. The contract between the* department and Messrs'. Snodgrass & Sons expired some time"; ago* and tenders were called for. a new contract. Snodgrass & Sons -were, again the lowest tenderers, but instead of awarding the contract to them, "the postoffice department sent .but a cheap eastern man clothed with the, authority to make such arrangements as would cheapen the service. '������ He endeavored to get a lower rate.from Snodgrass & Sons, and failing in this, he made arrangements to cut the route into sections so that any person with a cayuse or mule would be in a position to carry Her Majesty's mail. It is apparent to everyone acquainted with the country that such a, service can give nothing but dissatisfaction/The service to be prmpt and efficient must be in charge of one firm, so that they can maintain proper, stages and good horses. - The service should also be in the hands of responsible persons. If the present intentions of the department are carried into effect, we feel confident that it will eventually cost the country a great deal more than if the contract had been awarded to Snodgrass & Sons who, during the last four years, have given a service not only satisfactory to the postoffice department but to the travelling public as well. PENNY WISE POLICY. The postoffice department are endeavoring to disarrange the present BOUNDARY HONORS MR. MINER. As was so. aptly expressed by the Rossland Miner, in referring to -Mr. S. H. C. Miner. "Peace hath her victories no less renowned than .var." The man who has demonstrated, that here in British Columbia a great industry can be successfully carried, and who has proved the great possibilities of the Boundary country, assuring a large population of happy, contented workingmen, is entitled to all honor. It was a happy thought to tender Mr. Miner a banquet tomorrow night and the entire Boundary country should be represented. Greenwood will send its quota of representative men, and it is hoped that every other part of the district will be represented. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. HALLETT A SHAW, ,.;, Barristers, Solicitors, .

The'rapidity with which-public justness has been dispatched during the past three days-has-revived the hope that the legislators may be released from their labors next Saturday. > The optimism is by no means shared by all - the members, and some especially prophesy another fortnight of deliberation; but some of the ministers prediet the end next week, and it is evident that an attempt will be made to polish off the order paper in the next seven days. True, eight jiew measures stand in the name of the government on the orders,, but -the rapid disposal of the tedious amendments of the Vancouver city-charter has brought the end immeasurably nearei. One feature of the budget debate was the care taken by several members of the opposition���and the most prominent members���to disclaim any re sponsibility for the actions or policies of the Semlin administration. Mr Curtis took especial pains to make his position clear on this mat! er, and Mr, Mclnnes absolutely disclaimed any sympathy with the reduction of salaries of civil servants made during the Sem- lin-Martin regime. Mr. Brown even drew the attention of the~minister- of finance to the fact that some of the civil servants had. been, overlooked in the restoration of-.former salaries, Indeed, there ��,was a general disposition on the opposition benches to justify the rather heavy, expenditures in public works. In the Vancouver city charter amendments passed .last night- was.-.a provision empowering<the oity council to grant licenses to trading stamp .companies. A similar step is sought in connection with Victoria city laws, a deputation having waited on the gov eminent a-few days and.in relation to it. Thjs will give the city council con trol over these companies, which may be utilized in compelling them ,to pay tribute to the city coffers. The member from Delta, Mr. Oliver, has to his credit the latest'joke on Mr. McPhillips. During the long session on Tuesday night, when the eloquent junior member for Victoria was dis coursing at length.to an almost "empty house, the member for Delta interrupted hhn. to draw his attention to the _ fact that-the press' gallery was empty, the members of that hard, working body "Raving fled- iucontinently-to- the caterer to drown-- their sorrows. The house laughed heartily, and acting on the suggestion, soon afterwards ,rose, Last night again, the gallery-referred - to in the i foregoing, .almost worked .havoc.^with- Mayor Garden's plans. It was noticed that the withdrawal >of two members.would, leave the house without a quorum, and .a ���message was .drppped -down to-the jol- liest though most bored-looking member of the" administration that "four bits would, break,the house,',' He.accepted the invitation with alacrity, and in less time than it takes to tell the tale the.necessary equipment for the "breaking" of-the house was-passed- up. The quorum was preserved,-however, by a long-sighted member who caught the representative for East 'Yale just as he wasJeaving the chamber, ��� and thus saved the day and. the -bill.��� The rage of the member for East Yale, however, on-this-new development of prohibition, was pitiful to contemplate. i The same evening was productive of many amusing scenes. > Few>_took any interest in the bill, and the chairman of the committee rushed the sections through so-.rapidly:i .that they >��� were sometimes declared carried before Mayor Garden got time to offer an amendment. The monotony of the task was very trying on the ��� members^ and frequent excursions to the lobbies and restaurant-were made. .The senior member for Cassiar struck upon a happy device to get his rest and yet assist in maintaining the quorum by falling into a deep slumber in his chair. His classic features in repose -were so suggestive of a good appetite, and an easy conscience thati other honorable .. members found it difficult to believe that there were ever mining difficulties in Atlin or "culpable .stupidity." in returning officers at Bella Coola. The municipal committee organized yesterday with Mr. Helmcken as chairman aud Mr. Murphy as secretary. ���Victoria Times. WHICH IS IT? A certain municipality, which shall be nameless, -has preferred -,a^ series' of requests to "tbe-:Members of the Com-, mittee of the-Municipal- Clauses Act." The suggestions are four in number, one of them being for a verbal change in the-Municipal Clauses Act. Another is that municipal councillors may be permitted to-accept witness fees for attending court: in cases where the municipality-is involved. If this is nota'fti.rk conspiracy to. enable .'members of the council tb-make a fair day's wage for a fair .day.s loafing, it is dc serving of more or less serious consideration. Another request is that "members of a-municipal council may accept salary for professional services as city solicitor, health officer or engineer." To the unprejudiced outsider, it would seem as if a locality could no* find men within its limits to fill thes offices without taking members of the council, or .vice versa, there would exist at least a colorable doubt if it ought to be incorporated. In the interest of good municipal government we should feel called-upon to oppose such a suggestion, if any attempt were .made to insert such a law. But it is the remaining proposal of this municipality which is calculated to contribute to the gaiety of nations. The municipality asks to be allowed to exempt from taxation for a period of 3( years any company that will erect a smelter within one mile of the city limits. Sir Boyle Roche has evidently some descendents iu this municipality It is proposed to exempt from taxat' i_ ou property which-the municipality could not tax any way. A proposal to relieve a company from taxes that i would never be called upon to pay cer tainly has the merit of novelty. "Thank you for nothing,*' would be the company's answer.���Victoria Colonist. *ssa&gzgsa& STORY OF A SLAVE.

THE GREENWOOD WEEKLY TIMES, *-����*&�����* |ik__N____^MI August #), 1900�� DEFAULTING CO-OWNERS. MINING AND SMELTING PROBLEM. Mining Committee Brine in Some Amendments. The mining committee of the legislature have introduced the following amendment of the mineral act: Section 8, "Mineral Act" : . "Eivery person who mines for any minerals for his own sole use and benefit on any crown lands in the province of British Columbia without having taken out and obtained a free miners- certificate shall, on conviction thereof in a summary way, forfeit and pay a penalty not exceding twenty-five dollars, besides costs." Section 25b be repealed and the following substituted therefor: "25b. Upon the -failure of any one of s'evera_'co-owners to contribute his proportion of the expenditure required by section 24 of this act, the co-owner or co-owners who.have performed the labor or made the expenditure may, at the expiration of the year, give such delinquent co-owner notice by publication in a newspaper published and cir- cul'atitig hi the division in which the claim is situated, or, in the absence of such-local paper, in the nearest thereto, for at least once a week for ninety days, and if at the expiration of ninety days of publication such delinquent should fail or refuse to contribute his proportion of the expenditure required by said section 24, together with all costs of advertising, his interest in the claim- shall become vested in his co- owners who have made the required expenditure, pro rata, according to their former interests, on the filing with the mining recorder of the division in which the claim is situated such notice in full, and there shall be attached thereto an affidavit of the manager or publisher of the newspaper in which the notice was printed, stating the date of the first, last, and each insertion of such notice therein, and where and when the newspaper was published during that time, and the name of such newspaper. Such notice shall be recorded as aforesaid within one hundred and twenty days, after the first publication thereof." Section 127 be repealed and the following substitued therefor:. "127. The owner of a mineral claim who has had his claim surveyed, and has filed in the office of the mining recorder in the mining division in which the claim is situated a declaration by a provincial land surveyor, stating that he has surveyed the claim as required by sub-section (c) of section 36 of this act, and has delivered to the mining recorder a plat of the claim and a copy of the original field notes, and delivered two copies of the plat and one copy of the field notes to the owner, then the owner of such claim shall be entitled to have the cost of such survey, not to exceed one hundred dollars, counted as work done on the claim, as required by section 24 of this act." Sub-section (h) of section 36 of chapter 135 of the Revised Statutes, 1897, is' hereby repealed, and the following inserted in lieu thereof:-^^���^ -----= "(h.) Twenty days after the expiration of the term of the said publication, . unless a notice that an action has been commenced and a copy of the writ in such action have been filed in the office of the mining recorder in the mining. division in which the claim is situated, the mining recorder shall forward to the owner ^ or1 agent, under Form I of the schedule to this act, the documents referred to above, together with a certificate that the notice provided by section 36, sub-section (d), has been posted in his office, and the field notes and plan deposited for reference therein from the date of the first appearance of the said notice in the British Columbia Gazette, and continuously therefrom for a period of at least sixty days. The recorder shall also set out in Form I the name of the recorded owner of the claim at the date of signing the same." The mining world will watch with- interest the outcome of the problem which the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill mines and the Granby Smelting company hare before them in making ores which run a little over $8 per ton pay. The mines and smelter are practically owned by the same peop1e, and therefore are acting in harmony to work out the question involved to a successful issue. The conditions are favorable. The ore bodies in the two mines involved are of great extent, and in one there is said to be a solid acre of ore ready. for the stopes. In all the departments of the mine the idea, kept constantly in view, has been to put in such labor-saving appliances that the ore could be extracted at the rninimu.ri cost. The closest attention will be paid to details, and the appliances will be added to aud improved front time to time to get the cost of extraction even under what it is at present. A visit to the smelter of the Granby company is sufficient tn convince the most skeptical that no expense has been spared to make the plant as complete, substantial and effective as it is possible. Here, as much as possible, the ore is handled automatically. In addition to this the machinery is operated by electricity which is generated from water power from a plant owned by the company. This will save the company a large sum annually, and will consequently considerably cut down the cost of smelting. The management of the Le Roi recently announced that the cost of min ing, including advance work, supenn- teudence, transportation, smelting and refining was $8 per ton. The ore fr��m the l_.e Roi for one month recently gave an average gold value of $16.60 to the ton and* netted a profit of ��8.60 on each ton. The cost of $8 per ton for mining, reduction, etc.-j was made under favorable conditions, The L��e Roi has wide ore bodies, is not handicapped for want of money, and in addition to this, practically the same people own the smelter and the mine. The worst handicap was an insufficient plant, but this has since been remdied by the installation of a larger plant, and the cost of mining, reduction of the ore. etc., will iu time be brought under $8 per,-ton by the T_.e Roi management. ��� In the case of:.the Old ironsides, Knob Hill and the-Granby smelter, we believe, owing to the greater width of the ore bodies that ore can be mined from 50 cents to $1 per ton cheaper than it can be here. With the water power at the smelter and other labor- saving devices, it seems evident that ore can be smelted there at from 50 cents to $1 per ton cheaper than at the smelter at Northport. It is claimed that the ore from the Knob Hill and the Old Ironsides does not need to be roasted. This will effect another small saving. Under these circumstances there is every reason to suppose that the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides ore will yield a profit just as soon as the smelter gets Tnto "good working brder^of rat least $1.50 to.the ton. If this is the case the stockholders are assured of good profits as there are many hundreds of thousands of tons in these two mines.��� Rossland Miner. PREVENTED A TRAGEDY.

Professor S. F. Emmons, of the United States Geological Survey, has been spending a part of a vacation at Greenwood, and has been occupying the greater part of the past two weeks in ascertaining- the geologic conditions obtaining in the Boundary Creek district, more particularly in the mining camps immediately surrounding Greenwood, To a representative of the Times he said that while he was not yet familiar enough with the geology of the district to say much about it he . Was impressed with-the fa<Jt lhat the larger ore deposits so far discovered iu the dibtrict occur in limestone, generally more or less altered. This characteristic did not appear to be recognized by .many. Another thing that struck him was that owing tothe free growth of timber and brush and to there being much disturbed* matter overlying the settled formations, the district is a difficult ' and expensive one to prospect. As a consequence it is probable that there are ore bodies that may not be discovered -for some time to come. Some ot those already discovered are promising enough, but the question of values has yet to be determined. He had visited several of the min.es, and had seen big ore shoots in the Mother Lode and Knob' Bill. He was deferring visiting the B. C. mine as long as possible in the hope that Superintendent Parrish", whom he had known in Colorado, would return from Denver in time to show him that property. From the mining industry of this district in particular, conversation turned to that of- the province generally and especial importance was placed by the professor upon the Crow's Nest Pass'coal ._ fields' which, as the mining industry attains to larger proportions in the Kootenay and Boundary, will be of increasing value to these districts. Turning to the United States Geological Survey, the professor was good .enough to respond to' a request for some in formation as to its work. The government of the United States now makes an" appropriation of $750,000 per annum for this work. Under the old -arrangement the. division of the work ��� was along geographical lines, officials being - assigned separate districts,' but -later the system was adopte'd of allot- . ing". departments rather- than ^districts to the officials severally. Professor Emmons was accordingly given charge .- of the geology of metallic minerals, and so besides performing specific duties in this connection, has the general s'URe-.yisipn of all wofk <_n ore jippo'��_ts'(lqne t'hd'.r t"ie auspices'of the ��(_alogipal Stjrvpy. ' There are half a , dpze'u pr inqre qf these departments. > For-instance, qne official has pharfle of **the geology-of non.meti.Hic minerals, 1 such as ooaj, salt, etc.,* another of the statistical department, and-so on. All co-operate, however, so as to secure the best- results possible. These results .are,.-to a*large extent, published, so that'; the 'public .may have the benefit "of the valuable work done by the Geo- ���logibal;Survey,-wliose publications are ��� in the form- of monographs, bulletins : and the annual report of the Director. .-Monographs, which are exhaustive ' treatises on .particular subjects, are -published in what is known as government quarto. Bulletins are short, less exhaustive reports,- chiefly pf local interest, containing a few pages of small . octavo. Of each' of these some 3,000 ~< are ' usually published, and like the .-folios-referred"to below, are sold at about cost of .production. Some 10,- . 000 copies of the director's annual report are printed each year and these ' are distributed free by the survey department or by congress. To an in; 'creasing extent these reports include papers or contributions on special subjects. T|ie fg.fas are in size, 17x20, apjl contain (1) the explanatory text; (2) a topographical sheet; (3) an areal gCQlPgy sheet, pving th,e different geological formations without: regard to their economic value or otherwise; (4) an economic geology sheet, showing the formations containing valuable minerals, coal being printed dark so that its croppings maybe followed and: iron, ���.silver, gold, etc.. 7 being printed in different colors; (5) structure sec- .���"*" tions'"��� arid ���".

A preliminary report was published in 1882, but the book itself, including an elaborate "atlas of 35 plates, involved so much work that.it did not appear until 1886. So popular did this,-.book -become that it- is frequently referred to as the "Miners' Bible." Another work is a monograph on the Denver Basin, and still one more, among many others, is on the Silver Cliff district of Colorado. Others now being prepared to be published next year are on the Butte district, Montana; on Mercur and Bingham' districts, respectively, in Utah, on'the Black Hills, Dakota, and folios on Silverton, Telluride and Reco districts in Colorado. ' The professor who came over from Rossland with Mr. C. E. Iyaidlaw, of New York, treasurer of the British Co] 1-itnbia Copper company, will this week return to that city, having been requested to give expert evidence in the Centre Star-Iron Mask case. It is not too much to expect that the visit of so eminent a geologist to the Boundary country will be of benefit to it, especially if, as appears to be the case, his opinions of it are favorable.

The council of the Board of Trade at a meeting held this week passed the following resolution which was wired to Victoria :" " :" '-���" ' " Whereas, the mining industry is destined to be the most important industry in the province and,is as yet in Its infancy; and whereas the said industry during the past twb years has received.a serious set back, and whereas it is desirable to encourage' and not discourage capital. Be it therefore resolved that in the opinion of this board any increase in the taxation of of mines at the present time will be highly injurious, and be it further resolved that this board respectfully protest against the proposed increase in such taxation." The council also wired the post office department protesting against cutting up the mail route to Penticton and thus endangering., the efficency of the service. T GATEWAY LODGE 1.0. 0. F. Geo. W.

Instituted at Grand Forks by Members of Greenwood Lodge. Fifteen -Greenwood Odd Fellows, headed" by "~District"Deputy "Grand Master Law, went over to Grand Forks on Friday last and installed Gateway" L<odge No. 45. _ In addition to the Greenwood visitors there .were representatives of lodges from Rossland, Carson and Republic. The lodge was installed in the afternoon and the night was spent in revealing to 22 new members the mysteries of Oddfellowship. Grand i- orks has one of the strongest lodges in the province. Its members are wide-awake and many of the offiV cers elected are experienced Odd Fellows who have been through the different chairs in lodges elsewhere.Their experience will be of the greatest advantage to the new lodge. The following are the officers elect: N. G., F. E. Cooper; V. G.,A. G. Clements; R. Sec, G. T. Park; P. Sec, A. E. Savage; Treas.,' F. Clark; R. S. N. G., I. A. Dinmore; I.. S. N. G., Thos. Power; R. S. V. G., H. Grant; __,. S. V. G., M. C. Davidson; R. S. S., E. Bercars; L. S. S., B. Thomas; I. G. D., D. Munroe; O. G., G. R. Robertson; Chap., W. H. Bradshaw; warden, Thos. Black. The members of Gateway Lodge are not only good Oddfellows but they are also most hospitable entertainers. There was nothing too good for the visitors. About midnight over 70 Oddfellows sat down to a sumptuous banquet at the Yale Hotel, tendered to the visitors by the local lodge.. As there was considerable work yet to be done the speeches were short. Next morning carriages were provided and the visitors taken to see the big smelter and dam. The future of a city depends on the character of its citizens and since the representative men of Grand Forks are members of Gateway Lodge, there is every assurance that not only Gateway Lodge but the Gateway City will grow strong and healthy.
