Since Mr. Hogg was here in October last a large' amount of work has been done on his company's properties and he is highly gratified because of the magnificent showing both. on the Sunset and\the Crowii Silver. Prof. Donald is a well known chemist and mineralogist; one of the faculty of McGill. He ih here for the purpose of giving the Company's pro" perties ail expert examination and he has been busy examining all the workings and taking samples, Mr. Munroe is a bright young broker who is visit-, ing Boundary for the first time. He is particularly well pleased with Green wood and thinks it has a bright future; before it. Mr. Hogg, stated that the mining market has been in a had e_ar|d_tiQi* for several mopths-, Jt is showing some slight signs, of it4iyrovetiient but Montreal had been badly bitten when the War EJagle and Centre Star were closed, down and financial men were more cautious ahq.it investing In -"mining properties,, A healthy reaction will not set in until properties become shippevs and .returns are secured on the money already invested.

JjcqU Qalloway returned on Saturday from Boomeraug camp across the West Fork from the mouth of Boomerang creek, and about^ nine miles above West Bridge. Mr. Galloway owns two cla^rn^ there, the \V. S. and the Bagle fraction. Geo. Inkster and Peter I<over having been doing considerable work on the W. S. There are two distinct ledges on the prooerty. On one a shaft ^as been sunk in the ore a distance of 25, feet. The vein is fully three feet wide. The ore assays $75 in gold. The other vein, of similar width, has t^een stripped a distance of 250 feet. 1-f-l.st^f ajitj Love? are alsp dotyg VKorlj on the Huckleberry, a claim with a good] showing, qwned by R. T. Evans of Green wqod'. Tliey will also dq sorqe work this summeron the Boomerang, a claim qwned hy themselves. Another prqmjsiqg Qiai.m. is the Jponoc.ast, pwqefl by J.over- and his associates. There is a 45-foot shaft on the ledge. The ore veiu is about three and a half feet wide and gives high gold values. Mr. Galloway says the trail up the West Fork is in bad condition. There is a large amount of travel up the river. Goods of every discription are being packed in, stoves, lumber, ore buckets and other heavy articles needed at the mines. It is surprising how such goods can be taken over so rough a trail. . The government should lose no time in getting the wagon road completed. SUP PL IE.. GREENWOOD, B. C. The head office of the Morrison Mining company is now in Greenwood and the majority- of the executive resides here.. At a special meeting held last week"A. M. Whiteside, A. H. Sperry and Duncan Ross were elected directors. The officers are A. H, Sperry, president; F. H. Oliver, vice president and general manager; and A. M. Whiteside, secretary, Gwand Forks, B. C, July 23.���Two shifts are pushing development work on ..the Golden Fagle, Brown's camp, North Fork of Kettle river. The main working Bhaft has been sunk to a depth of 150 feet.. At the 100-foot level No. 2 vein is eight feet wide between walls in , a 20-foot drift to the north. Fffty feet below a drift has been extended fourteen feet in the .same direction. The vein at tl\e bottom of the shaft is * about two, arid pn,e half feet wide, byt fa the -face af the drift has }ncfea^e3 lQ four feet. In this working the ore is ��� largely chalopyrite with some sulphides, small sheaves of native copper, also having been" en- encountered. The drift will.Ije extended. It is expected, lhat the drift will strike "No. 1 vein, exposed in No. 1 shaft and in.the 35-foot cross-cut connecting both shafts at the70-foot level. The supposition is that the ftv& bodies unite and form o.r^o lead. !fft, 1 shaft has been sunk to a depth of 70 feet. The 16 ton ore shipment recently sent to the Trail smelter was taken from a drift at a depth of 45 feet. The ore body i$ ^he drift is 10-feet -$ide. Ak T�� feet tne vein was cross-cut e\ght feet withou,t encountering the hanging wa .1. -The; ��h .pn"tent gave a gross i-et\*fn o| $J5 in gold, seven ounces pi; silver unH three per ceqt copper. _ After paying transportation by. wagons tq Grand Forks, -railway freight ".ad treatment charges the net return was nearly $22 per ton. The ore aven at depth is greatly oxidized and consequently is easily mined. This promising property i% jpqefally regarded as. one qf the highest grade p5qpqsit|on��- in the Bqundai-y country. The development work is being directed Superintendent J. H. Fox, who has been engaged in mining operations for many years with marked success. The Qojden Eafide will soon be a steady shipper to the Grand Forks smelter. It ia owned by the Royal Victoria Gold Mining company, the principal shareholders of which are Alderman P. P. Sharpe and I/. S. Moul ton-Barrett of Greenwood. Jos. Trainer, superintendent of the Strawberry mine, Brown's camp, North Fork of Kettle river reports that the cross-cut started a few days ago on the iOjO-foot level is five feet in ore. The crosscut on the 50-foot level disclosed an ore body 28 feet wide. The t.e Roi mine at Rossland became a dividend payer during Mr. Trainer's regime as superintendent- Taking the case of the Trail smelter into consideration, it is found that this plant is handling ore from the Boundary, but only to such an extenfthat no more than one of its furnaces is being kept in full blast. The Slocan ore, which it also treats, principally galena, it is providing for by the erection of two mare lead stacks. To fill another furnace, it is taking 150 tons of ore daily from the lie Roi. But there are four still idle, and yet it is proposed to I double the capacity of the plant. Tbe Iron Mask will shortly be in a position to supply it with enough ore after the next month to blow in another fnrnace and keep it going. Even were the War Eagle and Centre Star at once to commence shipping in large quantities, their combined output is stated by the official figures of the Board of Trade not to exceed 400 tons a day. Or in other words, the present plant i.s ample to deal with the ores spoken of. Yet more furnaces are to be built. Taking into conti ieration the already shown inadequacy even of the enlarged plant at Noithport to deal with the output of the mines of the B. A. C. alone, the real reason of the enlargement of the plant at Trail is at once apparent. The management of the Le Roi mines is' about to acquire an interest in the smelter so as to be able to smelt its own. ore on as favorable rates as it gets from its own plant at Northport.���Rossland Miner. . BUSY TIMES AT, Molson, the New Reservation Town. MANY BUSINESS HOUSES. The financial'necessities of the Chinese government growing out of the Chinese-Japanese war have been the cause of far-reaching results toward opening the empire to western enterprise. , A number of negotiations have been entered into with the view of directly benefitting the imperial exchequer from the mineral resources of the empire, and they will likely be coi.- tiiiued if the present difficulty does not result in a prolonged war and the dismemberment of the empire. Mining Js a very old industry with the Chinese, and the metals are seem-: ingly nearly exhausted to.water level. The mines are theoretically the property of the emperor, and only opened by his cons*nti and. although practically the natiyes_mirie without this, foreigner^ ast well as securing, this consgpt, must-reckon with the vested rights 6,f the native miners, with, the holder^qf surface rights, and, north of the great wall, with the feudal,princes ���all of whom, have some direct mining privileges���-and'yeyerywh governing .officials, y Coal and .iron mining byyaativeV is carried on in reality without imperial notice or disapproval, but metal mining (principally precious metals), has often been checked, and sometimes carried on under imperial supervision. The Grand.Forks Gazette is all right. It ornaments two street rumors with scareheads and pads thorn out to the lengtn of a half a column each. The one relate"*, to. the sale of the B. C, mine to the C P.'R. and the other tells of the sale of the Mother Lode to the Standard ott people. There is no truth in either rumor. D. E. Cameron, of the Colville Reservation Syndicate, Tells About the Development ffi the District. The Dittmer Bros, came in on Tuesday from Copper mountain, immediately east of Bolster. They brought __yth_thema_sqme__splendid_specimena.-o|; Copper ore, taken from the properties which they are developing. A Minneapolis Mining company sent a, party of shareholders to see its properties iti Republic. There were about a dozen in the party and Ihey yiaited Republic last week, . It is reported that the British America Corporation has bonded the Britannia group of mines on Howe Sound, 30 miles from Vancouver, for $1,500,000. Messrs. Shallenberger and. McCul- loch, w.ho have been working their properties in West Copper qamp, Have uncovered a large b,ody of copper ore. Theodore Witty has made a big strike on a claim between Smith's and South Deadwood camp. The ledge is 30 feet wide. It is now reported that the Grand Forks smelter will "blow in" in two weeks. At 12 o'clock, noon, on the 10th day of October, 190&, the Colville reservation will be thrown open for settlement. The reservation contains large areas of arable land; it also possesses great mineral wealth and,, as its. climate leaves nothing lo be desired, there is sure to bs a big rush into the district. Indeed, from the numerous inquiries already made, and from the special efforts the Northern Pacific railway and other transporta- - tion companies are making to secure the passenger traffic from the east, it' looks as if the rush would rival that made to the famous Oklahoma territory when it was*'thrown open for settlement. Situated in the. heart of a large belt of rich agricultural land, surrounded by promising mining properties, is the _. town of Molson. Although only a few weeks: old, it is already a bustling, busy place. D. E. Cameron, the secretary-treasurer of the Colville Reservation Syndicate, owning the toyvnsite and also the Poland China group'of mines in.the vicinity, was in the city ^ a few days this week, and from him a Times representative gathered some ��� interesting information regarding the, new town. ���'Molson is growing rapidly," said he, "and buildings aregoing upas fast' as lumber can be secured. At present' Tillman's mill, on the Canadian side, is furnishing the lumber. "There are already built, or under construction, a hardware store, two general stores, a - drug store of which Dr. Couche is*pro- prietor, three saloons, a steam laundry, two livery barns and two restaurants. Mr. Blatt will open what is the best hotel on the reservation. "*It is 120x35 " feet and plastered throughout. "Our company are completing a road down Baker creek to connect with the government Vroad at Gillespie's. ��� This road will make the distance from' Rock creek to Molson about. 14 miles. ^ We are having many inquires for busi- ness^openings-and-people-are coming- in every day to establish themselves before the opening-of the reservation. "On the Poland China mine 16 men are at work. One shaft is down 125 feet and the 100-foot level will be reached on another shaft in a few days." As soon as the hotel is completed and accommodations secured we intend employing a large, force of men to develop our prospects around Molson: This work will be under the supervisfon of T. E. Dickson, an experienced mining man from Cripp'e creek, who had charge of the development work in the Portland mine in that district. "When the reservation is thrown open," concluded Mr, Cameron, "Molson will be the center of a large and rich agricultural section. Farming does not make business as lively as mining but it gives stability to a.district." Chas. E. Tisdall, ex-M. P., and president of the Vancouver Board of Trade, registered at the Imperial last night. He left for home by today's train. D. W. Moore, purchasing agent for the Trail smelter, is in the city. A. K. Stuart, western commissioner at the Paris exhibition, has written for literature. He states there is a scarcity of western literature at the exhibition. J. R.

J LL persons, old ami young, should have j their teeth examined once every six Months by a competent dentist. Decav will be present, and tartar forming, which nothing- but a thorough examination will ra- ���veal. Professional service rendered in time means liiyh-class work, less pain atd great economy. A tooth filled when decay is slight fl-ill not be sensitive, the operation not long-, and the rilling lasting, becaase the operator has more and better structure to work on. He is enabled to make the walls of thc cavity thicker and stronger, aud with slight danger of exposing llie nerve, the dread and fear of all when having teeth filled. Have your teeth attended to in time. D o not procrastinate. Give the dentist good tooth-structure to work upon, and he will render you excellent service. Many persons put off their visits to the dentist when sensitive teeth have given frequent warning. With mind excited, body in high nervous tension, and with excruciating pain and suffering plainly written on every feature, they conic for relief. How can the dentist be expected to perform the best operation when the patient is in Uie worst possible condition to receive it ? If your friend is sick do not wait until he is al- mbstdead before you do something for liim or send for the doctor. The doctor may save hint by coming at the last moment, and should llie patient recover he is liable to have bad healt-li the remainder of his life on account of not having received proper attention at the right tinie. Likewise, a tooth that is neglected may be tilled and saved at the last moment, but will probably have bad health the rest of its life. One person in a hundred has good teeth, ninety nine persons iu a hundred could have good teeth with proper attention. DR. R.

"Wednesday, july 2s, woo, SPEECH FROM THE THRONE, and the legislature has seen fit to pass laws with a view to protecting white people against his enterprise. A man might build a beautiful home an$ find a hideous Chinese laundry- spring up alongside. So the legislature gave municipal councils power to regulate j these laundries. Here is the section: "In every municipality, the council may from time to time make, alter and repeal by-laws for any of the following purposes in relation to matters coining within the classes of subjects next hereinafter mentioned, that is to say: " For prohibiting: or regulatin? the construction arid use of buildintrs for laundries, and for ordering the removal of laundries from any particular locality, when in the opinion of the council, such laundries are a nuisance or eyesore to such locality." Now this clause gives the council extraordinary power. They may bring in a by-law making it compulsory, that a laundry building should, be three- stories high, with a stone front,'and plate glass windows, or that a laundry is an eyesore anywhere within the city limits. Everything is governed by thc opinion of the council. Without considering the Chinese question at all such a by-law should be passed and no laundry should be allowed-to pollute running streams. speech abounded. He demonstrated what has been shown time and time again that wnile the present government has spent large sums of money they had not been extravagant, while, their predecessors, though spending less, could not successfully make the same claim, for they had run the coiin- tiy into debt, while the present government had more than been able, to pay as they go.

Greenwood, b. c. H. C. SHAW. EDITORIAL, NOTES. As was expected the speech from the throne foreshadows but little legislation for tliis session. The estimates are the main feature of the speech. The people of ihe interior will be glad to learn that it is the intention of the govern ment- to expend large amounts on roads and-it is hoped that a fair share of the money will go to*vards en- ���couraging the development of the mineral resources of the province by .opening up new sections. A vigorous .policy in this direction will be of the greatest advantage to the province. The coal miniug industry is on a permanent and satisfactory basts and -caH.easily afford the royalty which the .government intends to impose. Nevertheless it speaks well for the premier's good intentions to find that he is ready io tax his own properties as well as others. A royalty on the output of coal mines will fall heavily on the premier who is responsible for the introduction of this legislation. It is .stated that this means an additional taxation to the Dunsmnir companies ���of $35,000 a year. We think it is a mistake to open up the eight-hour trouble again by the appointment of a commission.. If mining, men were left alone, in a short time they would forget there was an eight-hour law in existence. Thefindr ing of a commission can not please both sides and, if an attempt is made to change the present act, more trouble = is^likely to follow. The government Different people discuss the Chinese question from a different point of view". One man claims that Chinamen are detrimental to the best interests of the country, because they send their money to China aud do not expend it in this country, that when it goes to China it never comes back, not even in the shape of merchandise, and consequently the country is impoverished up to the full amount sent out, in other words, Chinese are objectionable and detrimental because they do not furnish a proportionate'share of trade. Another orator, and a business man, strongly advised boycotting any business man who would sell goods to a Chinaman and thus encourage Chinamen .in. removing the very objection taker, to their presence in this country.

There was nothing particularly new in the speech with which the ex-linancc minister presented his resolution. He travelled in a general de sultory sort of way all over the field of political criticism, charged the government with breaking every anti-election promise, with increasing taxation, the public debt, and the national expenditure, with expending money in royal commissions, granting railway subsides, and a good deal more which has been explained and justified a score of times already, not only to the minis terialists in the house, but also as Mr, Foster will very soon discover, to the ; satisfaction of the country. a convincing exposition.

THE G_-_5_.NWO(.D WEEKLY TIMES. j FROM THE CAPITAL. Opening of the Provincial Legislature���A Meagre Bill of Fare. Victoria, July 23.���The opening of the legislature -was not marked by an unusual incidents. Lieutenant-Governor Sir Henry Joly de Ivothiniere has already made himself popular at the capital and he put the big crowd more at ease than his haughty predecessor. He had in addition to his usual guard of honor, officers from the Chilian man- of-war which is visiting'here. The speech from the throne does not provide a very heavy bill of fare and as it announces, this is to be considered a special session and the measures are consequen-tly few though important. The government hope for a short session^ but they may be disappointed. The opposition are few in numbers but they possess abundance of oratical talent and their leader Joseph Martin "the * stormy petrel of Canadian politics" gave an earnest of his intention by opposing the adjournment until Monday in vigorous terms. His first-lieutenant, J. C. Brown, is one of the ablest debaters in the house and along with him are Smith Curtis and W. W. B. Mclnnes two clever speakers. The remaining members ofTthe small band H. B. G-ilmore, Vancouver, aud U. C. Smitli.Easl Kootenay, have never been iu public life and their capabilities are as yet unknown. On theN~government side there are some good speakers but they will receive but little encouragement from the premier. _ He seldom speaks himself and when ' he does, he is brief and to the point. He is always anxious to get things done without any waste of time. He does everything in his power to discourage long speeches'. There are several private bills that are a legacy from the ill fated session of last winter., J. B. Donald of- Greenwood is here looking after a bill to incorporate a telephone company iii which he is interested. - /���",-js said that the estimates'will matte provision for several wagon roads that have been asked for by the people of the interior. STEAM" LAUNDRY. That Be of Snodgrass & Sons >*WU1 Ready Afcout August 1. - - After August lst_there"will be no excuse for patronizing Chinese laundries in - the city. Messrs. Snodgrass & Sons' big steam laundry will be in operation and it has a capacity equal to the town of Greenwood. The plant has all arrived and a large force "of l> men" are at work getting it into po ll - sition. A splendidbuilding" has been - erected for the laundry and the plant 'is the most modern that could be secured. -Ma'nager Abbott expects to have it in position about August 1st, ���when orders will be.taken for laundry work. It is the intention of the firm to do first-class work and give a-good service so that there may be no excuse for patronizing the Chinese. - THE RECENT SESSION. Concerning the recent session of the House of Commons, the Toronto Saturday Night makes the following observations: -* "A great cry and little wool sums up the session of Parliament now about to close. Unfortunately it is not the most important issues that call forth the longest debates, nor is it the best men in the house that do the most talking. As the speeches,.-lengthen they suffer in matter and composition, and it "may be doubted whether there is any deliberative body where a looser or more prolific"- style of debate prevails at present than in the Dominion House of Commons. The opposition must shoulder a large share of the responsibility for the waste of time and the consequent deterioration iu the style of argument. There ; was no reason why the session should have been prolonged. The natural result of the spinning-out process is a general demand on the part of the private members of an increase of indemnity. With members on both sides clatnot- ing for additional "swag," the Government is placed in an awkward position, but it will receive credit iu the country for having done all in its power to discourage .both the lengthening out of the session and the round robin to which it has given rise." - A GHASTLY STORY. Winnipeg, July 23.��� George Reuion, who has arrived at Port Arthur from Hudson Bay, brings news confirming the report of a balloon having been wrecked and three men having lost their lives .'in Ungava, on the east coast of the Hudson Bay. and supposed to be the remains of the missing Andree expedition. The &tory was earned by by Indian hunters to Fort George ori the north-east'coast of James Bay; thence by the same band to York Factory, whence it was carried to Moose Factory. Here Mr. George Renison was paying a visit to his brother, and two days after the arrival of the Indians, June 25th, he left Moose Factory, and has just arrived at Port Arthur. He says that the Indians, when a considerable distance north of Fort George, came upon a sight unusual to them. Two meu dead, and one badly injured, lay beside the.wreck of a ballon. They gathered around the injured man, who evidently was in great agony. The Indians could not understand the language used by the man, but by signs he requested them to kill him, which they did on the spot where he lay. When they arrived at Fort George and again at Moose Factory, they related the incident, describing the balloon and car, a thing which they had never before seen: When Mr. Renison left Moose Factory'the Hudson's Bay officials at that point were arranging to have a party of Indians repair to the scene of the wrecked balloon, and bring in papers and such other articles as might be found and be capable of being transferre.l. A LESSON IN ECONOMICS. A tax rate of twenty mills on a piece of land takes away about two-sevenths of its value. The value of land is the result of its productive power from day to day, whether it be devoted to agriculture, commerce or manufacture. If the use of a piece of-laud is worth $70 a year' and $20 must be paid in taxes, the net yearly value of its use .would be $50. That amount capitalized at 5 per cent., the current'rate of interest.', would make the actual or selling value of the land $1,000. That is the calculation that must be titade to determine the value of the land. The assessor looks to the real estate market in which these calculations have been thoroughly digested, and he finds the value of the land $1,000. The taxation levied is twenty mills on the dollar, which necessitates a payment of $20 to the public funds. A ��� tenant or lessee would be asked a rental of $50 aud taxes, or $70 without taxes. But.it is the rental that fixes the value at$1,000, not the value that fixes, the rental? If the taxation were perpetually removed by a special exemption, the value would be based on a net rental of $70, which capitalized at 5 per cent., would give a value of $1,400. - . **" INVITE THEM HERE. Next month the members - of the Spokane Chamber..of Commerce will take an excursion to Nelson and Rossland. They should, also come to the Boundary country. Spokane owes its prominence largely to' the development of the mineral wealth of British Columbia and its business men will doubtless be anxious to visit Boundary as well as the other mining sections.

The electrical machinery for the big power plant at* Floriston on the Truckee river is being installed and the plant will be completed and the current ready to turn on about the middle of September. The most extensive paper plant in the world has been erected and is now ready for operation atTTloriston. The power will be derived from the plant of the Truckee River General Electric company. But the primary object in view is the furnishing of electric energy to the great Comstock mines. The mining excitement which caused the whole world to wonder was that of the Comstock lode, which was discovered in June, 1859. It lies along the eastern slope of Mount Davidson, about four miles in length and varies in width from a few feet to a quarter of a mile. The first shipment of ore froin the lode was made from the Ophir discovery in 1860. Thirty-eight tons of ore were shipped to San Francisco and when reduced yielded $112,000. Then commenced the wildest excitement of modern times. The Savage, Hale Norcross, Chollar-Potosi Gould and Curry, Yellow Jacket, Crown Point, Belcher, Imperial" and other discoveries followed in quick succession, and the mines yielded, in the ten' years following, $120,000,000. In 1873 the "big bonanza" in the Consolidated Virgina was struck, and the excitement grew in porportion. Capital-was pouring into the new camp and Virgina City, a small camp among., the sagebrush and sand, began to "assume the -proportions of a great*city, with a population of 35,000 or more. The excitement reached its zenith when it* became known that millions in gold aud silver were being extracted from this strike. It is a fact that between the years 1873 and 1882, $111,975,761 were taken outr from the bonanza. The strike was made at the 1167-font level. Then came the question of draining the lower-levels of the mines, and the time produced the genius. Adolph Sutro projected the great tunnel known afterwards by his name. The tunnel was started in the valley of thc Carson river and ran for a distance of 20,018 feet in a north-westerly direction when it struck the Savage mine at a depth of 1,630 feet. Sub sequeritly all the mines on the lode wepe connec$e4 with the t^inel, But when it was completed tjie deepest ghiift had reached a depth of 3,000 feet, bo that the tunnel was of little use at that time in draining the mines, but it will ever remain as a great engineering feat, and has been used for the past two years, in connection with the hydraulic pumping plant installed by the Risdon Iron Works of San Francisco, as a discharge point - for the water forced-from the lower levels. An article in the Review of "more th^yj. a y'ejif'agp *#_tji"t{i^ pagtio*-),.j.'Thg .Hppg of the"g9m��tQck,?' jn" w^icl* ^ strong pie**, was madpTfof thei-se of electric power, to once "-.gain infuse the=pld-iife into4hefgr^at4odejhad the desired tffect, and Virgioa- City may become again populous, With the event of the installation of electric power it is ardently hoped, and indeed it is a fair supposition, that the rich ore at the deeper levels will be extracted, and, as shown in the Mining and Engineering Review of June, 1899, the difference in the cost of steani power and electricity'; is' so great, in favor of the latter, the low grade ores in the upper levels may be worked to advantage and profit. That there is yet a great amount of ore in thg old vvftrl.|np is Known, anfl that there is t,re to the value of hHndreds of millions below the present workings is the opinion of practical mining men. As an instance It may he referred to, that at the time of the fire in the Consolidated Virgina, rich ore was being taken from the Bonanza, but at that time the workings were bulkheaded and closed, and have remained so up to the present It is estimated that the mines of the Comstock lode Iftive produced, in gold and silver, Nearly 5400,000,000.���Mining and Engineering Review.

I THE GREENWOOD WEEKLY TIMES July 2S,C1900. Has Prepared Its Annual Report For Past Year. RESOURCES OF BOUNDARY Are Accurately Described���A Resume of the Development That ..'. Has Been Carried on. year, though the financial sky is somewhat clouded, is on the whole bright, and we confidently look .forward to the steady development of pur mines, which are our-chief resources. There never was, in fact, a time when.the prospects were better, or when there were surer grounds of hope for a great future for the Boundary country than at the present time. In view, therefore of the" opportunity of the Board to exert a wise and potent influence on the affairs of the city and district, the hope is expressed that it will not fail to take advantage of those to their fullest extent.". - IN LABOR CIRGLES. The annual report of the Greenwood Board of'Trade has been prepared and will soon be in the hands of theprinter. The report contains a large amount of interesting- information regarding the] resources and development of Boundary. The situation here is summed up as follows : "The* year 1899 was a-particularly prosperous one for thc Boundary, and especially for Greenwood, which made unprecedented progress, reflecting iu ���business, in building" operations and public improvements, the great activity which its -situation and prospective future inspired. The building of the Columbia and Western railway, which with its spur line., to the mining* cainps cost approximately " *5,000,000; the large amount of freighting done from Bossburg ami Penticlion; the influx of "population and'lravel lo and fro; the active mining development thai, was carried on ou all Sides; and the assurance ot a smelter being erected almost within the limits of the city���all con_. tribiite to the results referred to. ' During the year buildings to the value of $325,000 were erected; water works were ..constructed; lire department fully equipped; streets graded and" sidewalked;" and city buildings erected. Electric lighting was provided at a,cost ol" 525,000. Of course at the opening of railway traffic, an amount of delayed freight .was brought iu which swelled the ;i��- gVegate for the first two or three months to-^a- degree that may be regarded as abnormal. The amount was extraordinary, while general traffic receipts exceed eyei1 the anticipations of the railway officials themselves, Fu,- some months tlie ireight shipped dawn the Arrow L,akes for the Boundary country, three-fifths of which . was consignedHo Greenwood, was au average of 45 carloads a day. Passenger traffic is still 'well, maintained. Since the first of - the year, a series of untoward circumstances operated to . -bring about temporary depression. The war in South Africa hasdrawn vast sums of money from the usual channels of investment, increasing tin? demands elsewhere and raisi_i*g the price of interest; the labor troubles.in the Slocan and Rossland, though directly only slightly affecting the Boundary, had the. indirect effect of _ discouraging the mining market and discouraging the investment of capital aud the development of properties; up- __.on_this_came.the_ closing-down-of-the War Eagle and the Le Boi mines at Ivos'slahd, which produced a tremendous slump in the market and completed the slaughter of stocks, shattering confidence in the mines of British Colombia for the time b^tu)?" "*.dded to tliese was the quarantine established owing* to tlie outbreak of smallpox on the south side of-the line, which re_ duced the volume of travel greatly; apfi -- : aj. a eljrnax \o the chapter qf calaifiities ; \yas tl*e suspense created hy an unprecedented and almost incomprehensible political situation. Such a set of con* o ditions as has been described came just at a time when the district waa least prepared to withstand*"it���at a time when railway construction had ceased, when building and public improvements were practi.illy 'at a standstill, aud when on the other hand, the mines were awaiting the. completion . of the smelters to commence to ship���at'a time in fact, when the Tjaj roll 'of '{ht country was at a mitiinuun���the transition period between active speculation and the shipping stage. We . have reached the poiiit where investor's are waiting for returns for money invested in mines before going deeper into their pockets. The causes alluded to are temporary, giid tl*e effects are ajsq temporary. We look for a revival in all lines within thetrext.few months, when the war and labor troubles will be at an end, and about a dozen of the neighboring Mr. H. D. Helmcken has given notice that in the legislature on Wednesday next he will move: . . y "That, in the opinion of this house, all government contracts should contain such .conditions as will prevent, abuses which may arrise from the subletting of . such contracts, and that every effort should be made to secure the payment of. such wages .as are generally accepted as current in each .trade for competent workingmen in the district where the work is carried out; and it is hereby resolved that the work to.which tljp foregoing policy shall apply includes not only work undertaken by the government itself, but also all works aided by a grant of pro-1 vincial public funds, and that the aforesaid policy shall be forthwith applied lo every department of tin. public service'and to all the parties now performing services for the government."

The public meeting on Friday evening called by the Trades and Labor Council to discuss the Chinese question was a hot affair. Old King Sol during the day had poured intense heat, alike on whiteandyellow,and had converted Miller's hall into a miniature tophe'. Notwithstanding this there were sufficient people interested in the question to fill the hall. Mr. Kirkwood was voted to the "chair, and Secretary Win- uett also had a seat on the platform. S; eakers were at a premium. The orator of the evening, a Mr. McMillan, of Phoenix, was indisposed and could not come, so Chairman Kirkwcd asked for volunteer orators. C. J. McArthur was called to the platform and he went. He stated he was interested in the Chinese question, because he leased ground to Chinamen but he, notwithstanding this, was prepared to do everything in his power to rid the city.of the Chinese by peaceful means. He urged upon the Trades and Labor men to keep within the law, but to use every "effort to rid the city of those who were a serious menace to whitelabor. Mayor Hardy was lhe next speaker. He suggested a boycott of business houses that would sell goods to Chinamen aud discussed the question from several standpoints. Duncan Ross heard the Chinese question discussed for the last twelve years in the province, but it appeared to be as serious today as it was twelve years ago.. There was always those who would talk strongly enough against Chinese, but were weak in carrying out any practical scheme for their dis- ccafrag��mehtr~" He~sugge&fed that"the city council avail itself of the power granted by the Municipal Clauses Act to regulate lanudries and could thereby close all the Chinese laundries in the city. He also advised those present to go home witli the determination to no longer patronize Chinese. -.. Mayor Hardy was quite indignant that "his friend Ross" should suggest the council had power to regulate laundries. He didn't know what he was talking about and was only anxious to get a slap at Hardy. Ross and his friends were pinheads any way and some one (name not mentioned) had strings ou him. After taking his seat, the distinguished mayor har- rangued the crowd until he was called to order by the. chairman. Aid, Daye Bannerman was opposed to Chinamen and would do everything in his power to help the pause. J. W. Grier said that the Hardy and anti-Hardy difficulties always crept in. to public discussions in Greenwood. As a laboringman he was not going to worry himself about thc Chinese question, ho did that for IS years and was getting tired of it. The people who were most interested were the business men and until they joined with the workingmen in the movement it was useless attempting to do anything. H. B. Madden was with them if they were going to make a clean sweep, but if their object was simply to attack a few who were employing- Chinese, because they couldn't get other help, he was opposed to the movement. He described the difficulties of getting good white help in the kitchen; that in thc hotel business patrons demanded prompt and efficient service. This It Is Attracting More Travellers Than the Yellowstone. It may not generally be known that in the Canadian Rockies, says the National Park Gazette, is a more popular resort than the Yellowstone; but such is the case. Notwithstanding that the praises of the latter have been published in all quarters; that it embraces one of the most picturesque regions in the United States; that its climatic conditions are supposed to be exceptionally fine; that it is within easy access of many large cities and densely populated communities, or that there is expended on it yearly more than twenty times the amount spent on this park, it is gratifying and speaks volumes for Banff that the number of people who visit the park is in excess of th<_t of the Yellowstone. A good index of the travel to the two parks may be sw*n in the number of visitors registered annually at the hotels of the two respective resorts. Here are the comparative figures for the past five years: Y^- �� ^nt Banff. lff'S..:....: - 2,47o 4,924 18* : 2,408 3.996 18.7 '_.. 4,870 5,o87 I.S.S.. 2.2o7 5,537 1_'''"..... 3,637 . 7,387 With this continually increasing travel will come a more intimate know^ ledjje of the countty at large, and Canada, the land of Thule, will be known as she is. ~* . - and peremptorily remove every Chinese laundry and habitation" outside the city limits. There is not the slightest need for the perpetuation of the insanitary condition that characterze all Chinese premises in the-city. The law makes ample provision for the effective di: - posal of these nuisances, and there is not a single valid reason why the law should not be rigorously enforced at once. Why the Chinese residents of Kamloops should be permitted to ignore the health regulations and thereby endanger the health of the entire white community is a mystery.. There is no need for a Chinese laundry in Kamloops anyhow. A branch office of a- good white steam laundry has been opened here, and there are several white women in town only too willing to do washing thatcannot conveniently be sent away.���Kamloops Sentinel, DREDGING ON THE FRASER. CHINESE LAUNDRIES. They Can Be Regulated in Other Cities-Why Not Here? There was trouble in Chinatown ..this week and the Celestial washermen were busy rustling lavyyers, hunting witnesses and skirmishing for some scheme to snatch themselves from the fond embrace of the law which* has been dropped down upon them for. alleged violations of the wash house by-law, and also of the trades license by-law. .-���''". y ":'i". It was claimed by the prosecution, when the case was called up before Justice Johnson last Wednesday, that the Chinese laundries of the city had failed to comply with any of the provisions of the wash house by law, which called for the establishment of cesspools and various other guards against danger to the public health; and also that they had utterly refused to take out a license under the trades license by-law. After hearing considerable evidence the case was adjourned until Monday next at 10 o'clock. Eckstein & Sutton are acting "~f6F the- pi^ecution^and Miller, Hannington & Cayley for the defense.���Grand Forks Gazette. ������ The city health officer's communication to the council regarding the insanitary condition of the Chinese laundry on Lansdowne street, c_41s for immediate attention. Dr. Procter is well within the mark when he asserts that the condition of things, complained of is a grave menace to the public health. We would go further than he suggests, There seems now to be every probability that a serious attempt will be made to win some portion of the fold dust which is known to lie on the bed of the Fraser river. The undertaking is due to John Cobeldick, who* first visited British Columbia in 1896, and has since paid much attention to the dredging possibilities of the Fraser and its tributaries. The conditions existing in the rivers in British Columbia are similar to those extant wherever the gold dredge has not been introduced, in so far that the placer miner may only recover the gold from the benches and bars. Further than this it is impossible tor him to proceed in any stream where any great volume of water exists. In September of last year operations were commenced in the construction of a dredge of a New Zealand pattern on the banks of the Frazer, uear its confluence with the Thompson river and three-quarters of a mile from the town of Lyttpn. The major portion of the machinery was purchased in this^ country. from the workshops of firms who have been engaged in--the construction of (.redges for the last thirty years. The pontoons thirty-two by 100 feet, were constructed, the timbers being boiled .-to steel frames and both then-joined by heavy timbers, forming one solid barge with a space of fi.e feet six inches between the two. It is" through this space che bucket ladder travels. Unlike the ordinary harbor dredge- .which has only one bucket, a number of buckets form an endless travelling belt., raising the gravel from the bed of the river. * The work \p��s carried to completion under the sHperyjsior. of ^n experjepp- ed engineer who has been engaged 'm dredging the rivers of New Zealand for the last thirty years. Climatic conditions have made necessary the en- closing of the machinery, which has been done by building a frame struct* ure the length and width of tbe pen-- toons, only leaving a gangway p�� both sides. The craft is eqi)ippe4 '.with.two.boilers, main engine, winches, dynamos, donkey engines, etc., thp boilers and engines being built by Robey, of Lincoln, while the winches came from the works of~ WilJianj Symons_&_.Cp., Glasgow., The_ dredge is lighted throughout by electricity, having both arc and incandescent lamps. The points claimed in favor of the New Zealand dredge are that it is automatic, requiring few attendants and capable of handling large quantities of dirt. The capacity of the oi e at Lytton is 2,000 cubic yards p r working day of twenty-four hours. The cost up to the present has been in the neighborhood of $15,000. I ill .�� n.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-07-25 |
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. |
