A big plant, a, competent superintendent and the necessary "where- withall" to'carry on the work, can accomplish wonder', when it comes to develop a mining- property. 'A few weeks ago the Times announced a big strike on the Sunset in Deadwood camp, and this week it takes pleaaure iri announcing that another big strike has been made in the Crown Silver shrift. The Crowii Silver, as well as the Sunset, is owned by the Montreal Boundu.iv Cieek Mining company, and both are under the superintendence of Mi. Hany Johns. Since March 15 last, when the pUnt was installed, over 600 feet of work has been done on both properties. The Sunset shaft has been sunk 65 feet and the Grown Silver shaft a similar distance. As has already been stated, a body of ore 38 feet wide was encountered in the drift at tl.*. 200-foot level on the Sunset. This week the. Crown Silver shaft ran into ore at 88 feet and continued in'ore to the bottom of the shaft, 95 feet. The whole of the shaft at this depth was in ore and. the ore is by- far-the best that has yet been encountered on the company's properties. It is solid copper pyrites with high copper values and some gold. The vein dips in a northerly direction. The shaft is practically crosscutting the vein_^ and' as eooti as this is done Mr Johns in tends 1 miniug a drift on theore body: * * -*".'-' In reference to the strike7011 tne Sunset theie was considerable doubt regarding the value of the pre. A mining man who visited the Sunset secured a piece of 01 e and had it assayed. The result was an eye-opener/ The' sample assayed $34 to the ton in g*old. W. L. Hogg, managing director of the Montreal-Boundary Cteek Mining company, is expected from the east the first of next week, and he will remain for some tune m the district. A report was in circulation duri'n the early "part of the week that the Graves Syndicate and the Canadian Pacific Railway company had came to an understanding in reference to smelter charges. . This report was based on the statement that'the Granby smelter at Grand ^ForksTwas quotin*gTa $7 rate for treatment, while the Trail smelter quoted a $7 treatment and II Of The Minister of Mines���just out.

GREENWOOD, B. C. transportation rate. Such an arrangement would give the Trail smelter the advantage, but the knowing ones maintained that" Mr. Graves got .a quid pro quo iri the shape of low rates on coke and also on ore from the Knob Hill and* Old Ironsides. As such an arrangement would be detrimental to the mining interests of Boundary because it would mean that low grade mines could not be operated u ul ess the British Columbia Copper coin pan y gave a reasonable rate, the Times called up Mr. Graves over the telephone and asked him when the smelter would be ready to blow in. ���'In about two weeks," Mr. Graves replied. "Have vou made public a treatment rate for your smelter?" "No,, we have not. We have made two contracts with mines, but the rate has not been made public." "Are you going to make a rate public?" "'' "Well, I could not answer that. .You see we want to get started aiid running before we announce anything definite. Any arrangements made, so far with outside mining companies have been private." 7.7 : '-..".;" '-'������ *'"-��� "Well, Mr.. Graves, I might'just as well tell you what t want to know. Th"ere is a report that you have an understanding with the C. P. R. and that you are quoting^ a $77 rate for treatment, while the Trail smelter is quoting; a $7 rate for transportation and treatment. Is that so?" "You can say for me that there is absolutely no truth in such a statement.: To show 3'ou how absurd it is I will-tell you that one of the contracts we have for treatment calls for a $5 rate and the other for $4.75. I did uot hear that report and am glad you called my attention to.it. We are not in collusion with the C. P. R. in any way, and when we get properly started we will take all the ore offered up to our full capacity, after our ore is treated, at a rate that will allow only a small margin of .profit. My associates and myself are interested in seeing the Boundary country developed and we will do everything we can to encourage deTelopment._L^.i^i^_J_,^^__i_1^s Mr. Graves also stated that until the smelter was ready to treat ore, five cars or 150 tons a day would be shipped from the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides. Shipments would also be continued from the City of Paris. Already over 1,500 tons of the City of Paris ore has been hauled to the smelter. The Lone Star and Washington, on La Fluer mountain, across the international boundary line, is also shipping by wagon to the Boundary smelter. About five tons a day is being hauled. The article which appeared in the Times last week in reference to smelter created considerable discussion. Doubting ones who thought nothing was being done, went out, saw for themselves and came back convinced that a large amount of work had been done and that everything is ready for the machinery. Superintendent Liden stated that the article was accurate in the details excepting that six weeks will not be too long a time to allow for the installation of the machinery after it reaches here. He also announced that he had just received a telegram from E. P. Allis & Co., Milwaukee, stating that the whole of the big plant for the smelter had been shipped. It should reach here in fourteen clays. ., John Emerson rode in on Saturday from Cedar Canyon country, near Old Fort Spokane, and reported a big strike on the Jolly Boy, a claim in which J. A. Cameron and Seth Emerson are interested. The Jolly Boy adjoins the famous Deer Mine No. 2. A crosscut tunnel on the claim tapped the Deer mine vein at a depth of 150 feet. Mr. Emerson reports the vein as rich as that of the Deer mine which returned $150 net, above freight and transportation. The ore is a black sulphide with high silver values. J. A. Cameron leaves for tlie property the first of next week, atid if it is as rich as reported, he will make arrange- luents to ship ore immediately. He owns one-third, Seth Emerson one- third and the remaining third is held by W. A. Crawford, of Davenport. News of a great strike comes from the City of Paris, in Central camp, where the tunnel ac the 250-foot level, last Tuesday tan into a bodj' of ore, a sample of which gave assay returns of Si. 144.93; and this was not a'picked specimen either. South of the main tunnel, iu the east drift which was run for exploration purposes, a ledge of galena was found last winter and was followed for 800 feet. From this lead a.trial shipment was made to the Trail smelter a short time since ami gave returns of S18 to the ton. Thus it would seem that the City of Paris is amine in more than one way.' The directors of the Cariboo-Mclvin- ney Gold Mining Company, paid a dividend of \y2 par cent for the quarter on July 3. The gross earnings of the company are about $76,000 for the three months, leaving a large surplus in the treasury, The report af the North Star Mining Company, Limited, for the year ended May 31, states that on April 1 there was blocked out in the mine ready for shipment ore to the value of $1,900,000. The total value mentioned above docs not include several ore bodies known to exist on the property, but the contents of which have not yet been determined. Thymine started shipping ore on February 18, and up to May 31 the proceeds of ore sales' were $184,- 132.92". Out of this a dividend of $39,000 has been paid. The deal by which the Sailor Consolidated Mining������- company assumed the plant and.assets of the Minnehaha was ratified at the annual meeting of the shareholders of the Sailor, held iri the Temple building, Toronto, a few days ago.

Ottawa, July 16.���The senate was at it again today. C. N. Armstrong, of Baie des Chaleurs fame, objected to the sequestration clause of Blair's railway amendment bill and subsequently the senate threw it out by 13 to 17. It also threw out a second time the clause appointing three judges for the province of Qfhebec in the provincial judges bill. MacKenzie Bowell led the attack on Quebec, and the vote stood 16 to 17. It was defeated by a majority of 1. But this was not all, it also defeated a clause in the Dominion elections bill which provided that qualified voters in unorganized districts would be entitled to vote at elections, there being no lists. The Dominion elections act and railway act were passed in a mutilated condition. The railway subsidies bill was also read a third time. Wanted���A woman to do house work. Apply Times office.

There was the usual ceremony. The speech regretted the wars ia Africa and China and congratulated Canada on its loyalty to the mother country. The governor was glad the province was fairlj piosperous, notwithstanding the wave of depression. Metalliferous mining was resuming its normal condition of activity, and a largely increased output was expected. Coal mining was prosperous, the output exceeding that of past years, Lumbering was active, and the foreign demand growing. Agriculture was making progress with the prospect of much development.

The wagon road shouid be continued from Ke.cmeos to Princeton, so that the Similkameen mining district may be brought into more direct communication with the city. These are in alters which the business men should interest themselves in. There is so little time to prepare for the rush of business that is almost upon its .that it is foolish in the extreme to engage in croaking. The work of reaching Out for trade is more pleasant and more profitable. FRIDAY, JULY 20, WOO, A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE. There is absolutely no good reason why people should became discouraged because of a short period of dull times. There are' always some who have a keen eye for nothing but an opportunity to croak. They are usually successful in finding this opportunity. Fortunately there is a smaller percentage of this class in Gxeenwood than possibly any other city of the same size, but we have a few and they are very much in evidence these days. They tell a pitiful tale regarding the present and see no rainbow of hope. They cannot read the encouraging signs of brighter times in the near future. They cannot realize that some live years ago there was started at the junction of Twin creek and Boundary creek what is destined to be one of the Jargest and liveliest towns ..in the west. Greenwood is first a commercial town. It is the centre from which trade radiates to a dozen of the largest mining camps in the world. It is the business centre for the hundreds of men who will be employed in the big mines in the difl*erent mining,camps. Each of these camps will have its dinner bucket town, but .they will be feeders to the metropolis. Greenwood is the financial centre of the Boundary , country. It has branches of thc three largest banking institutions in Canada, aud as the greater portion of the busi- ^'esrWilfW"^��-^ transactions will also be carried on here. Greenwood will also be a smelter town. Already the big smelter of the British Columbia Copper Company is Hearing- completion, and there is no good reason why Eaidlaw's smelter should be erected near the city. Greenwood is also the mecca of mining meu. "When there are any claims to be bonded, when companies are to be floated or properties sold, mining capitalists will make Greenwood their headquarters. Greenwood enjoys all these advantages because it is the natural centre, and trade gravitates to the centre, but in order to reap the full benefit of this advantage thc men of Greenwood must be alert and keep pace with thc rapid development that is going on around us. Tlie city must be made attractive. Il already lias good streets, lirst-claas ���electric lights and the best of hotel accommodation. A little united work on the part of the citizens will make the city attractive in other ways. The concomitants of an ideal residential ���town can be had here with concerted action. The city should be such as would prove attractive to the miners employed in the hills surrounding it. Greenwood should reach out for trade. During the busy times of last summer business men neglected outside trade." This should be looked after. We should have closer co��n- - munication with the great West Fork and Kettle river country. There should be a wagon road there by the most direct route. There should .be a bridge across the North Fork and communication should be established THE CHINES 10 QUESTION. The trades and labor council acted wisely in calling a public meeting to discuss the Chinese question. The large influx of yellow-skinned heathens into tlie province this year, the half-hearted attempt on the part of the Dominion parliament to discourage their immigration and the horrible butchering of our representatives in their country combine to force the Chinese question upon the attention of the public. Setting aside any prejudices which may exist against the yellow race there are many valid objections to the immigration of Chinese to this country. The strength of a nation does not lie so much in ruimbeis as in the quality of its citizens. What we want in Canada is a united people, having similar objects in life, honoring the same flag and queen. A Chinaman is a Chinaman and nothing else He will not identify himself with the institutions of , this country. He is here to make money and return to his native land. He is simply a sojourner usurping the place of one who would make a useful member of society and a good citizen. The Chinaman disarranges the whole labor market. He can make money on less than it takes to buy a white man wholesome food. He is used as a house servant because he can be conveniently found, and while he occupies this position there is no encouragement for servant girls to come out here to enter into competition with him. In almost every industry he can be found unfettered by the, expense which civilized life demands. Ten years ago the cannery men of the const proclaimed it was impossible to run canneries without Chinamen. The Chinamen of ten years ago are the salmon kings of today, and those who nursed them_are now alarmed lit their competition. It is all very well for eastern men who know nothing about the habits aud peculiarities of the Chinese to denounce a policy of'exclusion, but if they were acquainted with the facts, if they had lived where the Chinese demoralizes everything in the field of labor they would change their opinions. There is, of course, a broad principle that ought to control the whole immigration business. The very fact that man was .brought into existence gives him the right to exist, and if his own country is overcrowded he has the right to go elsewhere to earn the means of livelihood. But the people of the country he wishes to enter also have rights, The true men of the .east__w.ill -.ajkno-wledge, ,and___support. Canada's right to protect itself against the scum of Europe because such an element is dangerous to society. We have a similar right to protect ourselves against the slum labor of Chinese, f) In the absence of a general public opinion in the east against Chinese and the consequent absence of drastic legislation, members of labor organizations as well as others can do much to discourage the employment of Chinese iu this country. It is remarkably easy to sacrifice principle to suit one's own convenience. When the obsequious John comes to your door and politely asks for " washee " and brings it baclt if he gets it, isn't easy to forget that there is a white laundry- man down thc street? How many laboring men are there in this city today who patronize Chinese laundries simply because it is convenient to do so? Public opinion must be educated in this- country. It can be easily demonstrated that the best interests o.f Canada are served by the exclusion of Chinese, and trades and labor councils as well as other organizations should lose no opportunity to do so. PUBLISHING THE NEWS. shareholders because^>f>the deal. The report also possesses that dignity that age brings. It is somewhere in the neighborhood of two years old. It was. sent by the local correspondent of the British Columbia Mining Record to that journal to show the status of the- company, and not as news. The Record published i.t; the Rossland Miner, with commendable enterprise, copied it as new and original matter gathered by its ubiquitous staff, and now it is going the rounds of the provincial press as news. The enterprise of the newspapers is truly remarkable. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Phoenix Board of Trade have acted wisely in making known the requirements of the town. The petition asking for certain appropriations is, however, out of order, and will not be received by the house. The rules of the house prohibit the reception of any petition which prays for any expenditure, grant or charge on the public revenue. Hewitt BoSTOCK, M. P., has decided to not offer for re-election to the Dominion house of commons. Mr. Bos- tock found that his private affairs had to be neglected if the requirements of such a large constituency were properly looked after, so he decided to withdraw. Mr. Bostock was.a faithful representative of the largest constituency in Canada, and" it would, indeed, be difficult to find a successor who can afford to give the same attention to its many and varied requirements. The Boxers, or the " I-Ho-Chuan," ���"I'" meaning righteous, "Ho" uniting, and " Chaun" defending with the fist���are one of China's many secret societies. They originated in Shantung the native hostility-to the Germans, and have spread all. over North China. They are bitterly anti- foreign and anti-Christian, and the endorsement of their views and agitation by the Chinese government has led to the present intervention of the powers. PROFESSIONAL CARDS, Some of the provincial papers are showing considerable enterprise in publishing a report of a meeting of the | shareholders of the Boundary Creek Miniug and Milling company.

CANADA'S FINANCES. fi The statement of public debt and the revenue and expenditure for the Nonunion of Canada for the year ending July 30th last, has been published, and is probably one of the ^mosl satisfactory yet given to the public. It shows that the total net debt on the 30th of June was ��258,128,297, as compared with $260,045,078 at the same time last * year, giving a decrease of $1,916,778. As compared with May the net debt of June shows a decrease of $1,299,263. The revenue for the year indicates a most satisfactory advance as compared with 1899, the increase being ��� $4,336,442. The total for the twelve months ending June 30 was $49,034,- 597, as against ��44,698,155 for the previous fiscal year. The chief item of increase is customs, which shows a betterment of $3,131,009 for the whole year, and $207,951 for the month of May last. The revenue from public works and railways reveals an increase of $804,790 for the twelve months, and $75,131 for the past month. Thc post- ;-;:office-,revenue)for the mouth of .June 77^^��57i733larger than for" May. For, igttife^|ioie;yea!r it fell short of 1899 by 7. v 5&i,4077butin view of the reductions ^;in���"���'the'*domestic postal rate and imperial and interpostagej this is not\to be wondered at. On the contrary, it is apparent that the falling off in revenue resulting from the. reduced rates will ere long be made up by the rapid increases in the volume of business. Comparing the revenue and expendi- _L^.t u r e__o n.acco u n t__ of__consolldated_-_fu nd. for the last fiscal year with the rev* enue and expenditure for 1899, the facts were that while there was"an increase pf $1,127,808 in the expenditure, the revenue gained by no less than . $4,336,442, showing a net gain in revenue of $3,208,634. This showing ;"7miglit; be.still further improved by 7'ad<Uhg.th���J reduction in capital expen- ��� 7ditui*eil7>wbich amounted in the last "7fiscy:yearMto$518,714. The total ex- * y peiiditure-on consolidated account last ... year was*$34,826,400 as compared with $33,698',572 in the previous twelve months. The total capital expenditure was $7,799,467, as against $8,318,- 181 in 1899. The largest items of capital expenditure were . $5,328,908 for public works, railways and canals, and $1,372,707 on account of the South Africa contingents. The latter item added to au expenditure of $197 ;324 last "year, makes a total expenditure to date for the purpose of the contingents of $1,570,031. GESNER ALLAN DROWNED.

Martial Law Needed to Maintain Law and Order. -They are having lively times at Cape Nome this summer. The gold diggings are in American territory and consequently there does not appear to be much respect for law or order. The steamer St. Paul which reached San Francisco recently brought news from the northern Eldorado. The necessity for martial law arose out of the jumping of miniug claims and other acts of lawlessness. The St. Paul also reports a great many cases of smallpox and typhoid at Nome. When she sailed it was thought, however, that the further spread of the disease had been checked. Thirty boxes of gold, valued at Sl,- 500,000, arrived from Alaska on the steamer, which left Nome on the morning of June 27 and St. Michael on the afternoon of the same day. Fifty-four passengers came down on the steamer, all but a few being from Nome, among them, as a conservative estimate, was 3200,000 in gold. On man, J. S. tang- ford, of Stockton, Cal., who has been at Rampart, on the Yukon, forthe past six years, brought out $30,000 in gold dust in a valise. His partner, Peter Jackson, who has been working at Rampart, also brought $30,000 in gold on the St. Paul. Half a dozen other men from Dawson, Rampart, Topkuk and Nome had small fortunes clutched in their hands when they went down the gangplank. All but $125,000 of the million and a half that came on the St. Paul is from Dawson and other camps on the Yukon. Nome itself and the country immediately tributary has not turned out much gold this season. The beach, which a year ago was reported to be thick with gold, is declared to be worked ou'*. Where rich claims were giving up* their fortunes a few months ago is now a city of tents, so thickly placed that a man gets about or between, them- with difficulty. For fully fifteen miles, returning prospectors say, the beach is white with tents and with tarpaulins covering merchandise; Costly machinery and washers which were taken to Nome by hundreds of vessels, are lying on the beach fast becoming useless, for machinery can neither be used in the vicinity nor transported conveniently to other diggings. At the beginning of the season, soon after moneyed men from Dawson reached Nome, gambling s'aloons and all places of business did well and money was very plentiful, but now business has become bad and money is becoming really scarce. Only gambling halls appear to be prosperous. Here and there is a store that seems to be doing a rushing business, but idleness that is forced upon thousands of men has resulted in impoverishhfg the great majority of them. Only now and then is a man seen who has more money than he knows what to do with. Hundreds of sober and orderly men have ceased to spend money except for the necessaries of life, for there is absolutely no prospect of their being able to acquire a "claim"," either "at"NbWe* or any of the comparatively near-by camps. Less than 200 yards back from the worked-out bench claims is a swamp which has given up some gold, but not enough to warrant the presence of more than a handful of men. Typhoid fever had broken out when the St. Paul left there, and there was some smallpox. Rheumatism is very prevalent. The weather has, however, been good, with nights comfortable enough to permit out-of-door sleeping, and the days are all that could be desired. WAS IT A MIRACLE. "The marvellous cure of Mrs. Rena J. Stout of consumption has created intense excitement in Cammack, Ind.," wiites Marion Stuart, a leading druggist of Muncie, Ind.

A BUNCO MINING GAME. which yielded liim a large return. He hied himself to thej gold commissioner and told him that he wished to pay the royalty on the output of the claim, and after stating that he had taken out $60,000 in gold dust from the property, paid the official the royalty of 10 per cent on the amount, consisting , of $6,000. For this he received a receipt, which stated that the royalty on claim numbered so and so and on such creek had been paid for in the, sum of $6,000. Soon an unsuspecting Englishman came along and asked the claim owner if he had anything to sell. The receipt on the royalty paid on the worthless claim was shown to the Englishman, and the result was that the valueless claim was sold to him for $.125,000. The Englishman, after he had done two or three days work, realized that he had run up against the worst kind of a bunko game, while the " honest" miner had left for scenes of civilization in order that he might enjoy the fruits of his fraud. RUDYARD KIPLING. An Australian war correspondent had an interview with Mr. Rudyard Kipling in Bloemfontein. He is described as a little, squat-figured, sturdy man of about 40. His face has been made familiar by portraits, but no photograph gives any hint of the quick, nervous energy of the man. His talk is a gabble, a chatter,- a constant jumping from one point to another. In manner, he is more like a business man than a literary celebrity. There is nothing of the dreamer about him. After recalling his Australian tour and giving his views of antipodean books and newspapers, Mr. .Kipling said: "lam going back to Eon- don to fight the people who will say ' The Boers fought for freedom���give them back their country.' I want to fight all that sort of nonsense." Mr. Rudyard Kipling is strongly of opinion that there will soon be in South Africa the greatest demand for skilled labor the world has ever seen. Eong ago the country would have been developed by railways, irrigation works, mines and mills under any other government but that of the- Boer. "We" want you Australians to stay here and help to fetch the place along," observed Mr. Kipling to his interviewer. He has the highest opinions of the Australians, both as colonists and soldiers. His admiration also extends to the Australian horses, although his first introduction to the animal was of a somewhat serio-comic character. It was in India he first mounted an Aus" tralian " buck-jumper,".and the tale is best told in his own words: " I seemed to be sitting on great eternal chaos and then the world slipped away from under me and that's all I remember."

Madam Trebelli Captures a Greenwood Audience. Madam Trebelli has come and gone and there are a few music lovers in Greenwood who do not realize that they lost an opportunity to hear one of the world's greatest singers. The skeptical doubted her merits because they could not see how a great singer would find time to come to Greenwood. They forgot that a railway brings a mining town Hearing civilization and occasionally the.iron horse carries exceptional people for the benefit of those Has Just Opened in the Times Block With a Larg^e Stock of # -v.-- * ������ and Kal$0!ti!tiin& With The Largest Stock And Competent Workmen We Goiv fidentiy ask the People of Qregnj wood and Surrounding District for Their Patronage.

There was a fair-sized audience at the Auditorium on" Wedriesday nig-ht, but the house ought to have been packed. It is so seldom that the highest art and genius find their. \yay to Qrgeuwood and they shoyid be encouraged when they d.o cqnie. Nature and education have done much for Madame Trebelli. When she appeared on the stag-e dressed in exquisite ivory satin., embroidered in pearls, she won the audience by her charming manner and delightful stage presence, but the magic of her glorious voice aroused an en thusiasm seldom reached by the usually non-appreciative people of Greenwood. It would be a waste of time to attempt to describe the different numbers. They were all without a musical or histrionic flaw but, perhaps, the encores, "Coming Through the Rye," and the "Laughing Song-," appealed more strongly to the syin" pathies of the audience. GepiU'ses often travel together, and it is not strange to find accompanying Madame Trebelli, a ��-ifte.d musician like Eugene A. Berns. He is a thorough master o,f the piano. He is a perfect accompan 1st. He sacrifices everything to tlie singe? and yet retains perfect command of the instrument. The piano was not in good shape, but even this defect could not mar his fine work. Those who were present are to he congratulated. It will probably be a long time before Madame Trebelli's equal will appear iu Greenwood. societies. Boundary Valley Lodge No. 38, I.O.O.F. EETS every Tnesday. _..

BOUNDARY TO THE FRONT. The World enjoyed a call on Saturday from Mr. Andrew Laidlaw, a young Ontario mau, who has made his mark in the west. He has become prominent in mining circles iii British Columbia and the northwestern states, and divides his residence between Spokane, Wash., and Greenwood, B. C. He is associated with Hon. Mr. Dobell and other proniineut Quebec men in western enterprises, and in this connection is managing director of the Standard Copper company, the Quebec Copper company and the Standard Pyritic Smelting company. The smelting company, Mr. Laidlaw says, has arranged for the erection of a pyritic smelter in the Boundary district, and he -believes it will be in operation nearly as soon as the Granby smelter at Grand Forks and the Mother Lode smelter at Greenwood. The exact site of .SeT new reduction works has uot yet been decided upon, but the plant has been ordered and is now under construction at Denver, Coll It will be in operation within four or five months, and will have a capacity of 200 ton's per diem. - The important feature of the new smelter is that its owners claim that it will be possible with it to smelt $4 or S5 ore at a profit. At present ore must run $9 or S10 to the ton to return a margin to the shippers. Mr. Laidlaw believes the Boundary district in British Columbia will begin to "talk" to the world the coming fall ���that is to say, when the three smelters now under construction are "blown in." At present the Boundary country is shipping 1,000 tons of ore a week to the Trail smelter. This indicates what the country will do with a full equipment of smelters���Toronto World. BANK OF COMMERCE EXTENSION. In the senate Hon. Mr. Mills introduced a short act lo amend the bank- act of this session. It consisted of a new section, Uealing with the amalgamation of banks. Two millions of dollars was being added to the capital of the Bank of Commerce by the purchase of the Bank of British Columbia. In order to carry out this matter thc bill was needed, as there was no provision for dealing with a capital larger than that of the purchasing bank. Sir Mackenzie Bowell pointed out that during the purchase there would be an interregnum during which the banks would incur penalties for a larger circulation without ai*3r provision. The bill was read a first time. PEACE AT ANY PRICE. Two old ladies were next to each other in a station bus. One of the them wished to have the window shut, the other to have it open; the conductor was called to decide the question. One said if it were open she would catch cold and die; the other said if it were shut she would die of apoplexy. The conductor did not know what to do, when an old man, who had been sitting quiet in a corner, said: "Open the window,-friend; that will kill one of them. Then shut it, and we shall be rid of the other and have some peace."���London Answers. MINERS' DISTRICT OFFICERS.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-07-20 |
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. |
