The gallows is strongly put. together and is a credit' to foreman carpenter Finlay Fraser, in whose hands General Manager Keffer left the work of construction with instructions to make a really good job of it. These instructions have been faithfully carried out. The old gallons frame was removed during the'Christmas holidaysand the old sheave wheel was placed temporarily on the new frame so as to avoid any interruption in hoisting operations, pending the completion of the new gallows, which will have two large sheave wheels for use after the two new safety platform cages now at the mine shall have been installed in'the shaft. The work of erecting the large Jenckes hoisting engines, recently received at the- mine, will be commenced next week and it is anticipated that these will be in working order before the close of January. In this plant -the Mother Lode will possess the second largest hoist in the Province, the only larger, one being that at the Le Roi mine, Rossland. The big Ingersoll- Sergeant air compressor is now well on towards completion and it is an engine that the whole district-may well be proud of, espeoially since it is the |"Tplu'riW:i-i_' the more powerful machine? which the rapidly enlarging mining operations of the districts* will require to keep pace with developments that are now assuming extensive proportions. Other evidences of activity ind substantial progress at the Mother Lode mine are the approaching completion of the ore sorting and sampling plant, with its solid raasonry foundation for engine and rock crusher and its long run-way "for waste belt conveyor; the completion of a wing of a large new bunk house and of a roomy boiler house; the erection of a commodious building to house the .new hoisting engines and protect the main shaft, and of .a"smaller but qomfortable.build- -ing for reading"room,.'entertainment and church*service purposes.*' Three big stopes have*- been opened at the 200 and -f00-foot l$vel' and in each of these there is an . extensive showing.of'ore of an average 'good grade. The north drift at the 300-foot level has" aTfull-face" of .excellent ore and a new crosscut to the-west at the same level is also in good ore. There are now easily a dozen places in the mine where- large stopes.can be worked so that the question is not asto whether there is ore accessible in sufficient quantity to supply . the company's smelter continuously but just now as how best to get the ore to the surface so as to keep the workings clear. However this difficulty will, it is anticipated,1 be quite overcome within the next month: or six weeks and thereafter the regular output of the ^nine will make a, considerable addition to the total value of the- mineral product of the district and Province at large. At "the company's smelter also much work has lately been accomplished towards getting the plant and,, machinery in running order. Iri the engine, blower and boiler house there remains but little now to be done. The three big boilers have been built in, eugine and. blower is up and the dynamo and other electric lightplant is being installed. Near-by the blast furnace house'has been.built, the furnace erected, and the blast pipe to connect blower and furnace is now being put in place. The water service is all ready far connection with the water jackets of the blast furnace. The sampling mill machinery is the least forward of any about the works, the arrival of the engine, which is to furnish it with motive power, having been delayed, but the greater part of this sampling plant is in the mill and is being put together as speedily as possible. About 5,000 tons of ore have been received at the smelter and the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company has been notifiedlhat coke is wanted at once, it being the intention of the British Columbia Copper company to have .1,000 or 1,500 tons on hand before blowing in the furnace. The ore bins are to be roofed in, but this construction work will not involve any further delay in starting actual smelting. The smelter assay office was fully equipped about two months ago and since that time has been in frequent use ascertaining values of the oresVas these 'have been.received from the mine. Altogether matters have been so well advanced lately that another month.or six weeks should see the works in full operation. This long- looked for consummation' will be a source of much satisfaction, not only to the British Columbia Copper company, to whose enterprise and energy this industry will owe its existence, but to the district, which is also deeply interested in its successful establishment.

Our stock was large and we have yet plenty to select f x\qxn and at greatly reduced prices THAT CONSOLIDATION. Jay P. Graves, of the Miner-Graves syndicate, was in Montreal recently. He stated that he had made a contract- to deliver 700 tons of copper matte per month* in New York and 200 tons additional in Liverpool, England. This would mean an income to the syndi- of $1,500,000 to 52,000,000 per annum. Graves further announced that a charter would be obtained -next session of the British Columbia legislature for granting a consolidated mining, smelting and.power company with a capital of fifteen millions. Ten properties are included in the amalgamation���Knob Hill, Old Ironsides, Gray E-igle, Granby smelter, Grand Porks and Carson townsites, sawmills, electric plant, etc. Concerning dividends, Graves said as soon as reorganization is effected the company will be in a position to discuss matters. SIMILKAMEEN COAL. Coal mining had'quite a boom in the district lately, there being now no fewer than 24 claims staked in the vicinity o_f Princeton. The banks of the Tula'meen and Similkameen rivers from ths forks are all located, in fact several of the claims will overlap considerably, so anxious have several parties been to secure ground. The fact that a railroad is almost sure to be built through this country next year and the.immense market for coal in the Boundary oountry, has been the. incentive to secure locations. Several of the new finds have very promising croppings, the Albion claim especially (owned by T. J*. Swanborough) showing a splendid seam of coal.���Princeton Star. AMONG THE MINES.

Work is Being Rushed and it ' Will Soon be Reducing Boundary Ore, A't the Standard Pyritic Smelting company's smelter, substantial progress has been made. The buildings to cover ore bins, sample mill, engine, .blower, boilers and furnace are practically .finished. The two 80-horse power boilers.and the feed-water heater are in position, as, too, are the_blower and engine. The sampling machinery is being put in and the furnace is how in course of erection.- The flue dust chamber has been extended to 250 feet in length. A 100-foot by 9 feet 6-inch steel smoke stack, which will.stand on a 14-foot brick base, will be., raised in the course of a few days. A 180-light electric, light plant is on hand ready for installation. A spur line has been run in on the level from the Columbia aud Western railway, at the south end of the, works, and the trestles are framed and will shortly be raised to carry the track from the railway main line at the north end, thence up over the ore bins. The assay office has been built and furnished v. ith all apparatus- and supplies necessary for ore testing purposes; the general offices are built and are being fitted up and the dam, ditch and flume for the water service are almost ready for use: The Standard Pyritic Smelting company has also acquired the Boundary Falls water power, but this will not be utilized until after the smelter shall have been, started. It is thought that preparations for blowing in the furnace will be completed by about February 1st. but no definite date for this im- oortant event can just now be given. LONDON COMEDY COMPANY. The London Comedy company made a decided hit at the Auditorium Monday evening. lOvery member of the company is an artist. They are playing to a full house at the Auditorium tonight. The company will go on the road, appearing at Grand Forks, Nel- snn. and other towns. The report is current that early in the year development will be resumed on the Last Chance and Yellowstone properties in Skylark camp. The Last Chance is owned by a Spokane company, is equipped with a plant and has had considerable work done .on. it. Chicago capital is how interested in the Yellowstone group, a deal having recently been perfected by Harry Shallenberger and R. McCullough, the owners. ON THE NORTH FORK A New Section That is At. tracting the Attention of Mining Men. MERRY XMAS TO ALL. Don't forget the South _3nd grocery store when you are buying candies, fruit and groceries. There are several promising properties under development along the north fork of the Kettle river, of which little is heard over here. Among them is the Humming Bird mine, owned by the Humming Bird (B. C.) Gold Mines, Limited, of Rossland. Yesterday a Times representative visited -the property, situated 5 miles east f rotn Ejholt, on the main wagon road that follows the west bank of the river, north and south. The Humming Bird was located by Morris O'Conner and John Russell in the summer of 1895. This year the present company acquired the property and work of developing the claim was placed in charge of E. W. Liljegran, a former superintendent of the Le Roi. Besides a considerable amount of surface prospecting in the shape of open cuts exposing the vein, two tunnels have been driven. In the upper tunnel, pre was encountered within a few feet of the portal and was followed down for nearly 100 feet by an incline. Then it was decided to run the lower tunnel, uowiu about 150 feet, with a splendid face of ore. The tunnel started as a crosscut, and in a distance of 100 feet was turned sharply to the north at a point immediately under the ore, it only requiring a raise of six feet fo tap the ore overhead. A connection was also made, in ore, between this tunnel and the winze from the upper tunnel. The vein lies in a lime formation, averages 3l/2 feet in width, and contains iron sulphides with a little copper. The piincipal values are in gold, assays running $26.48 to $42.24. The property has sent out a considerable amount of ore to the Granby smelter, but for the present shipments have been suspended, awaiting "a proper condition of the road to the railway for sleighing. In the ore bins are some 80 tons of pay ore. When the inine resumes shipping the ore will probably go to the Pyritic smelter as the management have been offered a rate of something les5 than $5 for transportation and treatment. This however does not include the cost of hauling from the mine to the railway, which will probably amount to $1 per ton. The daily output will be about a car. The year just brought to a close has been-a memorable one for the Boundary Creek district. The completion of the Columbia and Western railway to Midway and the building of numerous spurs to the different camps gave a much needed impetus to the mineral development of those sections tapped by the road. Claims that had been idle awaiting for the installation of proper machinery plants before de-v* velopment at depth could be prosecuted, have to a large extent been equipped, - - and the district has advanced from an era of prospecting development only, ' to that of production. A notable iucL- - dent that in a large degree marked the turning point in its- history was the blowing in of the first furnace of the Granby smelter, at Grand Forks on August 21st. shortly followed "by the second, and today this plant is reduc-' ing 600 tons, of ore each twenty-four ��� hours, _ So successful' has this undertaking, been that the plant is to be immediately doubled in capacity,* and its output of matte will exceed $2,000,000 ' yearly. In .demonstrating, as the Granby smelter has that the low-grade ore'bodies of the district can be treated at a profit, it has opened the way in a great measure to the introduction of capital into other reduction enterprises that mean much to securing to the mine owner a most reasonable charge for the treatment of his product. During ��� the past year work has been in progress on-pJant<* ��mder construction by the British Columbia Copper company and the.Standard Pyritic Smelting company,in the immediate vicinity, of Greenwood and when they shall be * blown in some time in, Feb- ruary, the combined tonnage ' of , the three smelters will amount to 1,200 tons daily, to be rapidly increased to 1,800 when the two additional furnaces ' are in operation at the Granby. That a fourth: smelter will be constructed this year somewhere in the district is assured by the management of the Dominion Copper company, and it is not drawing on one's immagination in for- casting that both the B. C. in Summit camp and the Snowshoe" in Phoenix camp will in time each have its own reduction works. It is said that the Athelstan mine in Wellington camp has been sold.-The Phoenix pioneer has the following on the subject: "This week a most important mining deal was made by which the control of the Athelstan mine.'will pass into the hands of Montreal capitalists represented by Clarence Mc- Quaig. This is the syndicate that owns the B. C. mine in Summit camp, and Manager Parrish, of that property, made an examination of the Athelstan. The option for the Athelstan is for 815.0,000, is for a short time only, and those interested are confident that its terms will be complied with." A Times representative had a chat over the 'phone with S. F. Parrish, manager of the B. C. mine, Saturday evening, asking for a confirmation of the sale, and was informed that Mr. Parrish knew nothing of the deal and denied having ever been near the mine for the purpose of making an examination. While there seems to be little doubt that a'sale is in progress, mining men here are of the opinion that the B. C. Chartered Company has nothing to do with it. W. H. Thomas of New York, a prom: inent mining engineer is a guest at the Hotel Armstrong. During last week he was up at the Oro Denero mine, Summit camp, making an,extended examination, presumably for New York clients. Mr. Thomas was here some weeks back making a study of conditions in Deadwood camp, especially the Mother Lode mine, on behalf of his people, who are large shareholders. During the course of driving 500-feet of tunneling on the Snowshoe ia Phoenix camp three distinct ledges* were crosscut. The winze sunk at a point 100 feet from the portal of the tunnel in ore, has reached a depth of (Coucladed ou Fourth Page) :..;yiy: ' '��� - *���' i f w December 27, 1900. d-Mri^a I have added to the equipment of my dental office an apparatus for' the administration of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen for dental operations.

Weekly Cimes* PUBLISHED BY The Greenwood Times Printing and Publishing Company, Limited. Duncan Ross , ..Editok. When bells are rung, guns" fired, whistles blown and other noises manufactured for the purpose of welcoming the New Year, the conglomeration of sound will have more than the regular annual import. It will be a hearty expression of welcome, not only of a new year, but a. new century as well. The time, would be, a proper one to make referencr to the many changes that have- taken placei and the great strides that have been made from every standpoint during the century just closing, and also to the world's bright outlook during the century that will begin. There is in this food for several columns of editorial .but the Times will content itself with a brief reference to the bright outlook for the city with whose interests it is identified, The year 1901 gives promise of being an importantbne.for Greenwood. Whether- -the, city_will* reap the full benefit will depend upon its citizens. Greenwood is developing against ad- ���_ver.se circumstances, into what it is destined to be the commercial center of the Boundary district. "V?ith two smelters; nearly, completed and others about to be erected, with a healthy development in the'mining camps contiguous to the city, and with a mining ���district that is rapidly growing into greater favor in the financial world, the possibilities of the city are enormous. _ - To reap the greatest benefit it will '' be necessary.for the citizens to take a definite course of -action. In the first place our own house must be put in order. The credit of the city must be restored. This can easily be done by the exercise of a reasonable amount of municipal statesmanship. The city ~~ must-"al��c^ibeT"bro_fght~into~-t}ie-- very- closest contact with tlie mining camps surrounding it. During 1901 the tramway scheme should be carried into effect and all the mines'brought into touch with the city. The "scheme is a perfectly feasible one an^l can be carried out if the finances of ^he city are placed in good order and a better credit established for the city. That Boundary is to be a great mining district even the most conservative now admit and there is no reason why Greenwood should not be an equally great and important city. Everything depends upon the wisdoni and enterprise of her citizens. The year 1901 should be the most important in her history. '.EDITORIAL NOTES. have opportunities of explaining my views at length. Briefly stated. I atn in favor of the following: The present state of city finances and the stringency of the money market make it impossible to enunciate a well defined policy of public improvements. An adequate system of waterworks is necessary and also some suitable plan of sewering the city, but these and other improvements must be deferred until thc city is in a better financial position. I confidently believe that bjr the exercise of wise judgment, the finances of the city can be placed upon such a sound footing that necessary public works can be constructed without placing excessive burdens upon the present taxpayers. The credit of the city must be restored and maintained. Litigation should be avoided and I am in favor of au amicable settlement with those who have just claims against the corporation. If Greenwood is to occupy the prominence to which she is entitled by natural advantage, the city must be brought into the closest touch with the surrounding mining camps. Dining 1901 every effort should be made to secure the construction of the tramway without imposing additional burdens on the ratepayers beyonfl those to |..w-hich they are already pledged. The strength of every city, particularly one situated in the heart of a mining district, lies in its workingmen' and its future depends upon them. I am in favor of recognizing their claims to proper'protection. I believe eight hours should constitute a legal day's work and this principal should be adopted by the municipality. Generally speaking, I am in favor of municipal work being carried on by day labor,, but in the event of contract work being necessary, I would insist that contractors should pay the current wage. ..���'���;:"; I am opposed to the employment. of Chinese and the encouragement of Chinese immigration and any power granted to the'corporation by the Municipal Clauses Act should, be exercised to the fullest extent in restricting their employment in the city. The mayor's time should be devoted to the work of the city. I am not rich enough to do this without compensation and if elected I will expect a sufficient sum to properly represent the city without loss to myself. The first of each year, estimates- should be prepared giving each section of the city an equitable share of the expenditure and these estimates should be religiously followed.

The 20th century fiend is not so active at present as he Vas in the dying- days of 1899. At that time, yard after yard of space was occupied in attempting to prove that the nineteenth cen- -tliry ended with the year 1899 and that January 1, 1900 ushered in the twentieth. The poor fellow exhausted his resources so that he has but little to say this year. Ordinary*, mortals are satisfied that 100 years mean 100 and not 99 years and consequently the I century does not end until Dec. 31, 1900. The editor of the Times takes pleasure in .extending' to Dr. R. \V. Jakes, the compliments of the season. The Enormous Dividends Paid By the Great Michigan Mine. When the copper mines of the Boundary district are developed to great depth there will be many- equally as rich, and perhaps larger than the famous producer of Michigan the Calumet & Hecla, which last Saturday filed articles of association in renewal with the county clerk at Houghton. The corporate existence of the company will expire April 21, 1901. In a few months less than thirty years, the company has paid dividends of $70,000- 000, andby the end of next April will have added $4,000,000 more, in all Hke- lihood-the-largest---Sum__ever^paid_Jn^ dividends by any mine in the world. The sum $73,000,000 odd by the Consolidated California and Virginia from the Comstock lode, silver, is the largest record at present. It is expected that the No. 5 shaft, the great shaft* of the Tamarack, will reach the Calumet lode by the end of this week. At present neither the shaft, nor any of the crosscuts started therefrom, have reached the Calumet vein, but every indication i_i the Tamarack and in the Calumet points to the bottoming of the No. 5 shaft in as rich ground as has ever been opened either in the Calumet & Hecla or the Tamarack. In fact, the lode in its richest part at this point should contain about five per cent of copper; although working the lode the full width and stamping poorer rock from lean sectiods of the mine, should give a net result of not more than three per cent copper in the rock. The Nos. 3 and 4 shafts of Tamarack are still in ground as "rich as mud." BAUER & ASHCROFT, '���������-������..

WestKOotenay Company Will Increcse Its Power Plant. Mr. A. Lome Campbell, manager for the "West Kootenay Power and L,igh t company, has.returned from the east after an absence of three weeks. "While he was away he visited Chicago, Dayton, 6., Schenectady, Buffalo, Toronto and Montreal. His mission east was to arrange for the building bf the machinery, water wheels, dynamos, generators, etc., for-the proposed increase of 20,000-horse power which is to be- added to the plant of the company at Borming-ton Fall's. Mr. Camp-.. bell reports that two engineers are at work at Bonnington Falls surveying and preparing the' plans for developing the" water power there. At the headquarters of the Canadian Electric company in Toronto a number of skilled men are at work preparing the plans for the generators and wheels. The work is now well in hand, and will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. "While he was away he f visited the works of the Edison Electric J company in Schenectady, in whichS,- |O00 men are employed. The machine shops in Toronto, Montreal and Peterboro are running night land day, and have orders for seven or jeight months ahead. It shows that JCanada is enjoying a period of great industrial activity when there is such . demand for machinery of all sorts. great deal of mining machinery is _eing turned out. The people of Eastern Canada are pleased with the manner in which the tines of this section are turning out, ind are maaifesting an increased interest. This is particularly the case Montreal. There the people are king favorably of the mines of the Cootenays and Yale, and the outlook that they will invest considerable Jioney here during the coming year. Toronto the people were hit pretty f.ard a" year or ���two since in stock 'peculation, but they are commencing ') look with favor again on the mines fi this section. Indeed; everywhere in Astern Canada the impression seems -jncral' that there* is going to be a revival inmining in the year 1901. ing every faith in its future, and there has been a decided eagerness manifest of late to secure good prospects and au equal willingness to invest in a large way in their development. This is the staj_e in the growth of a mining camp that means real progress and steadily increasing wealth. ��� Spokesman-Review. THE HOLLOW SQUARE. H/adies of Canada: Thhe hollow square, a purely British military tactic, was never broken but once. "Why? Because Tommy Atkins from Canada and Tommy Atkins from all other ^ British possessions stand solidly together. The lesson is, that in a commercial way algo, the colonies should stand firmly together; and the ladies of Canada ��� the purchasing power���can do much toward accomplishing "that end. Ceylon and India produce the finest teas. By using the teas grown in sisl^r colonies, ladies act patriotically. These teas appeal to you from sentiment, from purity, from economy ��� in every way they are superior to Japan or Chinas. Drinkers of green teas should try Monsoon, Salada or Blue Ribbon packets.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-12-27 |
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. |
