His Honor Judge Bole held Comity Court in the city hall, Greenwood, on Monday and. Tuesday, 18th and 19th inst. The sitting of the court having been several times previously postponed a large amount of business had accumulated, there having been between 60. and 70 cases on the docket. Among those of interest were the following: In tlie matter of II. Mason vs. Snow- flake Lim ecompany, a judgment summons for Uiis court had been issued against W. E. Medill who. fornlerly traded under that company name. Defendant was called upon lo show why he had neglected tq pay amount of said judgment. Upon examination it was elicited that instead of- paying the whole or any part thereof, he had been reducing-liability under aichattel mortgage held by his wife and sons. The court considered this a family arrangement such as it invariably regarded with suspicion. An order was therefore made for payment on'account of $25 forthwith and a similar amount monthly until the debt of $316.81 shall have been paid, in default defendant to be imprisoned for 40 days. Medill was taken into custody by the deputy sheriff but was afterwards released upon payment of the first instalment and that official's costs. In Clark & Binns vs. Kaake, an interpleader summons which involves the rights of chattel mortgagees to proceeds.of goods sold by the sheriff under an execution following judgment obtained against W. T. Kaake, the court made an order that an issue be drawn up in which the claimants be plaintiffs, all questions of costs lo be reserved and that the action be set for next court peremptorily. Iu Annie Skjennald vs. M. Berger and Jos. T. Bedard, Louis Greenwood garnishee," which was a claim for wages due to plaintiff as chamber maid at defendants'- hotel, Bedard, who, was absent, had not been served with a summons and-Berger disclaimed responsibility. It appearing that he was interested in the hotel business the court held .that plaintiff could not be expected to ascertain the exact business relations of men advertised as partners,so judgment wasgiven against Berger and the garnishee for amount of claim and costs. An unusual counter-claim was made in Guess vs. Cunningham & Andersen, an action to recover ��8. rent. Defendants admitted that this amount was due but claimed$100 damages for time lost, etc., owing.to premises not having b -en sufficiently heated, as had -been agr.ed- they should be, *to" admit of their carrying on their work as electricians and that, first having given notice of tljeirintention to do so and failing compliance with their requirements, they were compelled to surrender their lease and to remove their business to other premises. Judgment was reserved. , Davidson vs. Weeks (Before judge and jury).���The plaintiff herein sued the defendant, who was a hotel keeper at the time of the occurrence, for $300, OUVENIR of the B. C, Co/s Smelter, blown in February 18th, 1901 j and of the Standard Smelter which is slated to blow in shortly. On the face of this card are excellent views of the smelters above mentioned, They are selling at sight You will miss it if y ou do not make it a point to see them at once. $m.tb$lftcRae Books, Stationery, Wall Paper, Office Supplies, etc. 'Phone, V. & N. 34. alleged to have been stolen from him while a guest at defendant's hotel at Phoenix. The plaintiff deposed that on the night in question he retired perfectly sober and on going to bed placed his pants containing the money under his head, but did not fasten the door, as the lock was not in working order; that there was no notice under the Iunkeepers's act posted in his room; and that he was unaware that there was a safe in the hotel for the deposit of valuables, and that he had earned the money,sued for whilst working in the B.C. mine. Defendant, on the other hand, swore that the lock was in perfect order, but admitted that there was no notice posted in the bed room, and that he had not called plaintiff's attention to the fact lhat he had a safe in which valuables might be kept. The defense was practically contributory negligence. The learned judge charged the jury at considerable length and carefully explained the law bearing upon the subject. The jury, after protracted deliberation, found that there was contributory negligence on the plaintiff's part and so returned a verdict for the defendant. Moran vs: Salter���This was an action in. trover for $1,000 damages for wrongful conversion of plaintiff's household goods. The .evidence,which was voluminous and complicated, went to show that Mr. Moran, the plaintiff's Tiusband, at one time owned the Hotel Spokane at Midway, the furniture of which was solely owned by the plaintiff, Mrs. Moran. Mr. Moran mortgaged the premises to Mr. Mackay Iiig.rim, but no mention of the furniture appeared in the mortgage deed and.Mrs. Moran was ho party thereto, but the tenant,'Mr.'Salter,- appears to have been allowed the use of the furniture free of cost.; Subsequently In- grim assigned the mortgage-to Salter and gave the latter to understand he was getting the furniture as part of the _ security, whereas Mrs. Moran swore that she had never given up her title-to the furniture to Ingrim or any- .pne "else, as-In grim-well knew.and; had told her he did; also that the Value of the furniture was more than $800, and it had been bought with her own money. The court added Mr. Ingrim, who was preset-tin court, as a defendant. -.At the ."close- bf the evidence, His -Lordship,''������-remarked--that.-, the' case clearly indicated that Mr. Salter had no right whatever to keep the furniture, but at the same time it was also evident that Mr. Ingrim had deliberately deceived Mr. Salter into the belief that he had a right to convey the furniture. Judgment would therefore go for $300 and costs, same however, to* be reduced to $l-aud costs if the furniture were delivered up to Mrs. Moran, which Salter's counsel undertook should be done within one week from date,Mr. Ingrim, owing to his improper conduct, to; pay all costs of the .suit. J ' His Honor Judge Bole transacted the business of the court with all dispatch consistent with' full hearing of the evidence brought forward in the various cases dealt with. For the convenience of litigants and others from -P.l_Lc.-_3--9.lLtsi-i^ sitting was held, thereby expediting matters considerably. The numerous cases that came before the court demonstrated markedly the necessity that exists for more frequently holding court in this city and for having a County Court judge resident in the district. ~P" NORTH FORK KETTLE RIVER THE BUCKHORN It is announced that arrangements are in progress for an early resumption of work on the Buckhorn, in Deadwood camp. F. H. Moore, of Stewartstown, New Hampshire, has been in Greenwood for the past three weeks endeavoring to straighcen out the tangle the affairs of the Buckhorn were left in at the time work was suspended several months since. He will leave tomorrow on his return east. He will la}' before the management of the company the result of his investigations and will report favorably as to the promising nature of the mineral showings he has seen on the property. Altogether about 1,000 feet of woik have been done underground in development of the Buckhorn, including a 220-foot vertical double compartment shaft with about 240 feet of crosscutting at the 100-fobt level and nearly 300 feet at the 200. The power plant includes half of a 10-drill Rand duplex air compressor, 20-horse power hoisting engine, station and sinking pumps, machine dr_lls,etc. Miss G. D. Sexton, corset expert of New York, will be at Rendell's Arcade for three days, April 12th, 13th and 15th, to demonstrate the merits of W. B. and La Vida corsets. She will be pleased to meet ladies who wish up- to-date and, well-fitting corsets, on the above dates. ��� The shipment of a little ore during the past six months from two or three mining properties situate on the North Fork of Kettle river has had the effect of again directing attention to several groups of claims distant 10 to 15 miles from Grand Forks. The best known properties among these are the Earthquake, Golden Eagle, Volcanic, Pathfinder and Little Bertha, on the eastern side of the river, and the Seattle, Humming Bird and Strawberry, on the western side. Recently a short switch was put in on the Columbia & Western railway, its location being on the Graud Forks Ride of Eholt and between the latter placeand Fisherman Station. As there is only room for three or four cars at a time on the switch it is evident that it i.s not expected that immediate shipments will b.e large. However, it is the intention to send ore to one or other of tlie smellers from the Humming Bird���which has already made several small shipments to the Granby smelter at Grand Forks���and, after a bridge shall have been built across the river.from the Golden Eagle, Pathfinder and Little Bertha. Of these the Hummi/g Bird and Pathfinder appear likely to make the best showing as regards early output. Of the former, which is reported to have shipped 600 to 700 tons ore, only this passing mention will at present be made, no reliable particulars .of it being just now available to the writer. The Pathfinder lately resumed work. There are two double - compartment shafts on this property, respectively 135 and 125 feet in depth, and about 700 feet of cross-cutting and drifting. It is stated that there are three main pre bodies of a somewhat irregular character, partially developed by these workings- and that these ore bodies are large low grade masses of pyrrhotite, carrying.gold, silver and copper and run ning about $15 to the ton. The formation is porphyry and a diabasic rockf the ore occurring .seemingly at or near a contact, in , a"quartzose gangue. The general indications were some time since regarded by the Provincial Mineralogist, some of whose comments are given above, as favorable to the finding of considerable bodies of ore. The manager of the company, when recently in Greenwood, intimated his intention to shortly ship ore to the Standard company's pyritic smelter at Boundary Ealls. The power plant ori the- property consists of a 5.0-horse power horizontal tubular boiler, a 10x24 -straight-line Rand air compressor, a 42x10 air .receiver, two Little Giant drills, a 6x8 hoisting engine, a No. 5 Cameron sinking pump and a 3x2x3 boiler feed pump. .The mine buildings include, good: offices, manager's house, bunk and boarding houses, stables, etc. FRANKLIN CAMP. Up the East Fork of the Forth Fork there is a very promising mineral country known as Franklin camp, which for size of ore bodies,so far as shown by the very limited amount of development1 work" dotfey* aiid "^pecimelf "aTMay values, compares very favorably with what was known of the older camps at a similarly early stage. It is not to be expected though that extensive mining operations will be undertaken in this outlying district before it is given wagon road connection". A trail was cut out last year to connect with the wagon road from Grand Forks, but the construction of the wagon road is an urgent necessity for the getting in of mine supplies and machinery, otherwise the mineral resources of Franklin camp must remain undeveloped. Numerous mineral claims have been located; and of these the best known at the present time are the Banner, McKinley, Glouster and Polard. No doubt strong representations will be made to the government so as, if possible, to secure this session an appropriation for construction of the much- needed road. A MINING REVIEW. . < ....

Its strik- inadequacy to the importance of the mining industry of the province���an industry which, as wis prominently shown in last week's issue of this journal, contributed during the year under review products valued at $16,- 332,061���is regrettable and it is to be hoped that when the annual report of the board shall be7publi-.hed the meagre information given by its late president will be supplemented by the inain facts relating to' the mineral production of the province recently made public by the minister of mines. The statements made relative to the' smelters in the Boundary district are inaccurate iu several particulars.which is less excusable from the fact that the professed writer of the report personally visited the Boundary district not very long ago. The mining review referred to it as follows: " With the settlement of the labor troubles in the Kootenays mining operations at once showed increased activity. .Many properties that had been either wholly or partially shut down resumed work and the output of ore has been largely in excess of that of ' the previous year. In Southeast Kootenay it is interesting to note that we have the second largest producer of silver lead ore on the continent in the St, Eugene, at Moyie, besides many other promising properties. In the Slocan district the output has been largely in excess of 1899. In what may bytermed.the dry ore belt in the neighborhood of Slocan Lake considerable development work has been done during the year. In the Rossland district we also find a great increase of production as compared with 1899, the figures being 221,900 tons in 1900, as against 180,399 tons in 1899. The values are not at this writing available, but will duly appear in the annual report. In the Boundary district, mining operations have been very active, the output of ore in 1900 reaching 101,000 tons as against practically nothing in 1899. In June last the Granby smelter at Grand Forks was blown in and it has since been found necessary to largely increase its capacity, while quite recently two additional smelters have been completed, one in Greenwood, the property of the British Co-, lumbia Copper company, and the other in Anaconda, the latter being intended, to treat pyritic ores, anew departure in this province. "The large smelter at Trail has greatly increased its capacity and now handles ores from Slocan, Southeast Kootenay, Boundary and Rossland. The Le Roi ores are treated principally ���at 7 their' Northport ��� '��� smelter. This smelter, has also nearly doubled its capacity. It handles exclusively B. C. ores, chiefly those 7 produced by the famous Le Roi mine; "It is noteworthy that practically all the'railways that have been constructed in the province during the past six years have been built to serve the mining districts. On the coast there has not beeri_j.ery great activity in metalliferous mining but there are some .well known properties of great promise notably on Howe Sound, on Texada Island, and at Mount Sicker, V. I., which are being steadily and persistently developed, and it is hoped that the coming year will prove that there are great.mines on the coast as well as in the interior. In the. Atlin district a large amount of placer mining was done** upwards of one-half million dollars worth of dust from this promising district having been purchased by the Seattle assay office between Jan, 1st and Oct. 24th, 1900. "Coal continues to occupy a high place in the list of our natural products the^output^having^increased from 1,- ~ 294,100 tons in '99 to 1,520,500 tons in 1900. -*These figures are exclusive^of coke." ��� ' ������ - >i*iy '*_*__ THE WINNIPEG. -'r* N. J. Tregear, superintendent of the Winnipeg mine, was in town on Monday. Whilst not inclined to say much at the present stage of development of the mine, he admitted that things are looking more encouraging now than at any time during several months last past. The winze from the 300-foot level is now down about 70 feet and is in ore that forquantify and assay value- is very promising, but more than this Mr. Tregear will not say just now, preferring to wait to see if further development and additional sampling will confirm present promise. Mr. Plcwman, managing director, states that thc vein in the winze has now widened out to 10 feet with eight feet of solid ore in the bottom. At a depth of 31 feet there was only two feet of solid ore. Furthermore the values of low-grade ore hav steadily improved. REDUCTION IN RATES Commencing April 1, passenger rates on the Pacific division of the C. P. R., will be reduced from .four cents per mile to three and one-fifth cents, on the main line, and from five cents to four cents on branch .lines. Round trio tickets at reduced: rates are now obtainable as well within the division. These reductions do not apply to the Crow's Nest Pass line, .which is not in the Pacific division. Reduced rates on freight between Okanagan and Kootenay audBoundary pointshave already gone into effect. - ^ -__-?> L __<__. -���"iv March 21th, 190l. THK GMBNWOOD WKBKL1 TIMES. _.

THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1901. GOOD RESULTS PROMISED. The committee appointed by the third annual convention of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia, which met in Green wood ou- 1st and 2nd Gin st., to proceed to Victoria to place before the government and the members of the legislature generally a number of the resolutions adopted by the convention, appear to have been accorded a courteous and generally favorable reception at the capital. From the published report of the secretary, H. W. C. Jackson, upon his return to Rossland, the following information is taken. The Minister of Finance promised that the government will give mature consideration to the request that 20 per cent of the royalty on ore mined with in a municipality be applied in aid of construction and maintenance of roads to the mines within such municipality. This request will either be complied with or the roads to mines within the city limits will be gazetted as government roads and be maintained by the government. With, regard to the amendment to the Companies Act to enable joint stock companies to be reorganized from a non-assessable to an assessable basis at reasonable expense, the Attorney- General said he would look into the matter thoroughly and if he found that the recommendations of the Associated Boards could be carried out without injustice to- the larger stockholders he would have the Companies Act amended as suggested. Respecting representation of thepro- vince at the Toronto exhibition the Minister of Mines declared himself strongly in favor of it, as he also was of all reasonable schemes for thoroughly advertising the mineral resources of the province, including the issuing of frequent 'government bulletins by a bureau in the department of mines. As to hasty mining legislation the Minister said that he was still in f avpr of the appointment of a commission, as promised last session, lhat no material changes wonld be made in the laws affecting metalliferous mining and that, in all probability, none would be made except under the recommendation of the mining commission. Concerning applications for water rights by corporations under special charter the Attorney-General and others said.that they thoroughly agreed with the position of the Associated Boards that any bona fide applicant had every facility required under the Water Clauses Consolidation Act, so that acts giving special rights/were undesirable and unnecessary. The Minister of Lands and Works promised that the mineral region occupying the Kettle River basin shall he officially designated "Boundary district," as recommended, and shall be so named on new provincial maps how being prepared. In reply to the petition of the Associated Boards re representation in the provincial legislature and at least one member for the Boundary district, the mihisters pledged themselves to bring down an equitable redistribution bill after the forthcoming census, and intimated that there was a possibility that a bill might be introduced during the present session to give a separate representative to the Boundary. The Attorney-General promised to look into the recommendations of the boards iii respect to county boundaries, especially as they affect the county courts, and on the question of a Supreme Coiirt judge for the interior ne expressed'himself as not in favor of such a cotfrse, but strongly in favor of more freqUent sittings of Supreme Court judges in the interior, and -of the appointment of more County Court judges, possibly with increased powers. Several resolutions relating to railway matters were submitted. The first of these-was one in favor of a general railway act to do away with the necessity of special charters for individual roads. The executive said they could not see the advisability of such an act so long as the Dominion insisted .on the issuance of special charters. Regarding the proposed railway from the Crow's Nest Pass to Golden, they seemed inclined to encourage the construction of such a line. Mr. Dunsmuir stated with regard to both the Coast-Kootenay railway and the resolution in favor of "free trade in railways," especially referring to the railway from the Crow's Nest coal fields to the international boundary, that the government was not yet ready to de clare its policy and would not be until after the Dominion government had been heard from. Mr. Turner stated that the government had under consideration the question of extending the Shuswap and Okanagan [railway from Vernon to Midway. In the matter of freight rates on farm products, in connection with which the Associated Boards are making representations to the C. P. R. with a view to securing such a readjustment of freight rates as will enable the fanning districts of the province to compete with the United States for the Kootenay markets, the Minister of Agriculture said that the provincial government was already acting along similar lines. Respecting the immediate selection by railway companies of lands they are eutitled to under their respective subsidy acts, and the cancellation of reserves, the Minister of Lands said that the British Columbia Southern aud Columbia & Western railways had practically completed their selections and that he was urging them to at Once make the necessary surveys. As soon as this was done, which he hoped would be inside of another year1, he would be in a position to cancel the reserves, how covering practically all of East and West Kootenay. Other representations were also made to the government, but the foregoing includes those in which the Boundary district has a more or less direct interest. If only half the benefits sought be obtained, then will the existence and efforts of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia be abundantly justified arid rewarded. on supplies and machinery. The statement shows supplies aud machinery paid at Toronto up to March 1 of this year and at Fernie up to the end of last year as follows: PaidToronto firms, $48,815.47; paid Montreal firms, $33,- 076.17; paid Ontario towns, $5,007.12; paid Nova Scotia towns, $9,812.40; paid New Brunswick..towns, $670.62; paid Great Britain (including freight), $59,- 704.15; p_ud Winnipeg firms, $19,121.37; paid British Columbia, Alberta, etc., $43,035.08; paid. United States, $97,- 740.77; pid Fernie firms and contractors, $373,397.2*1; total, $690,550.36. THE BANK OF TO THE DEAF.

C. On 5th inst. :-the Manitoba .Free Press, Winnipeg-, published _ a lengthy editorial upon the subject, "Developing British Columbia:" After reviewing the position as regards the Crow's Nest Pass coal fields,and approving the action of the recent convention of representatives of- the. -Associated Boards of .Trade in deciding for "free trade in' railways," the article continues: ���'��� "Besides the proposal tCconnect the Great Nprthern railway with the Crow's Nest there is also a proposal to author-_ ize a line to be constructed from a point on- the Spokane Falls and Northern railway into the Boundary countryy passing in and out along -the international boundary at Casade, Carson, Midway and other . points. The strongest arguinent brought against the granting of authority to construct this railway, which; has in the past been known as the Kettle River Valley railway, is ,that it", would-carry .-the trade of that part of*the province into the United States. This is such an old argunieut and has been so often illustrated by the case of Spokane City that by this time the people are surely very well able to appreciate the value of it. They appear to have come to the conclusion that even at the risk of benefiting the town and country to the south of the boundary they will advocate a policy to benefit themselves and the country aud towns to tne north of the boundary. T.ie United States -welcomes railway construction and has always done so. Permission to build is obtained'from local authorities without any . question. The Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk compete in the United States with the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, and their connecting lines to the east. The Canadian Pacific have for a long time sent their passengers and goods over a line to the city of Seattle in the west and in the east they proceed by way of the state ofjMaine, while in the center they use the state of Minnesota and Dakota for the purposes of their traffic and trade. The people of southern British Columbia do.not appear to regard with any alarm the entrance of Great Northern trains into Canadian territory; on the contrary the resolu- " tion of the'Associated Boards of Trade of the province clearly, shows that they desire (he adoption of a policy of free trade in railways, just as a few years ago the- province of Manitoba desired the adoption pf such a policyj fought for it, -tnd" obtained it. The C.P.R op-; posed the adoption of that policy with regard to ^Manitoba andit is opposing the adoption of that policy with regard to British Columbia. '.���'"- ���* "Several -'applications ; have -been made in past.years for-a right to construct the Kettle -River Valley road. The Free Press has neyer been able to see any objections to the granting of that authority, nor are we able now to see any objections. The argument that railway, competition will be disastrous because if will give thc people of the Boundary country the option of shipping and receiving goods over two lines of railway instead of one is only made apparent by the contention that the second line of railway will develop trade with the United States. Well, that is not so disastrous a thing, because the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk have spent millions of.dollars and have built hundreds of miles of railway for the purpose of developing trade with the United States, as many millions of dollars have beenexpeuded on international bridges to connect the "two"countries byrailwayr At the present moment there is a project to make a steamship connection between the' Grand Trunk at Sarnia and the port of Duiuth. The object of the Grand T_ruai�� is to carry business from Du- l__Y_i"a__d Superior cities to the New England states. The Canadian Pacific makes a strong bid to carry busine ss from Seattle and other western points to the eastern states and the Atlantic o'-seabo'ard. What the railway com- i ���- .-- ������' - parties desire, is something to carry and they .'are not 'particular whether they get that iri one country or the other. In the case of the Kettle River Valley charter and the proposed connection with the Crow's Nest Pass,one of these railway companies doing business in the United States as well as in Canada endeavors to wrap around its corporate body the folds of the British flag and declares that if there is any connection between British Columbia and the United States the interests under the flag will suffer. "It probably.has never occurred to opponents of the Kettle river charter that it would draw to the smelters iu the Boundary country the ores from the Republic country in the state of Washington-and from the mountains around whitti the Kettle river runs into British Columbia. The projected railway crosses the international boundary at least three times and must take a dip down from Carson in the Boundary district to the head of Curlew creek, _ which flows out of Curlew/ lake immediately north of the Republic mining district. There art other creeks flowing into the Kettle river arid it is "only natural to suppo|e,that a great deal'of- therores in theiint'ral part of __the state of Washington would find its jyyray" to the BoUadary^district smelt ers by means of this . new railway, by virtue of proximity and convenience. "."It should be remembered that the Boundary-district mining camps are all new and the vast majority of the properties aie as yet undeveloped, though known to contain great wealth. Experts who have seen the South African and West Australian gold fields say, that the British Columbia mineral fields rank well with either of them and, all circumstances considered, are superior to both.--Much. of that superiority consists in the fact that al- the aids to successful mineral developl- ment are io be found in southern British Columbia. . The climate is favor able, there is enormous water power there is timber, coal and lime, and all that is heeded is transportation fatuities. A statement was made in the railvray^committee of the House of Commons a couple.of years ago by Sir William Van Home in which he ventured to estimate that iri the next ten years, if southern British Columbia were properly, developed, it would give rise to a trade worth at least one hundred million dollars. The proposal to keep a dittrict like that from trading with the United States, to deny it a privilege accorded to every other province of the Dominion, may be a proposal in the interests of the C. P. _R., which has drawn an iron circle around the Boundary country so that nothing can get in or out without its permission, but it is certainly a proposal that cannot be viewed by parliament as in the interests of the country. Parliament has very properly, by means of the Crow's Nest railway, connected the Northwest Territories with the Kootenay country first, and by its delay oyer the Kettle River Valley application has allowed the C. P. R. to take possession of that country two years in advance of any other line. It is quite another thing to contend that parliament ihould say to the people out there, and to those who have investments in that country, no other railway must ever enter, and you can never trade north and south but only east and west. That might be the view ���of the hide-bound protectionist, but even if a handsome trade between southern British Columbia and the United States is built up surely that will be to the interests of British Columbia and all concerned. There is an enormous trade between the province of Ontario and the states of New York. Pennsylvania and Ohi��. Nobody looks upon that as a disaster." * After-quoting statistics illustrative of British Columbia's export trade, the article continues: "The figures we have given are for the fiscal year 1899. With proper transportation facilities, with enterprise, with capital confident of return, with boundless natural resources, British Columbia is destined to produce and export not $14,000,000 but, as Sir William Van Home predicted,' $100,000,000 worth. What the province chiefly needs to accomplish this great destiny was set forth by that "eminent and patriotic Canadian who has just passed away, Dr. George M. Dawson, the director^>f the Geological Surrey of Canada, who, writing of the ecoromic minerals of British Columbia, after describing the resources of the districts already well advertised, said that valuable minerals were known to occur in many other parts of the province, and added, ���but can be utilized only where means of transportation have been provided? "That transportation is the key that will unlock the resources of the province of British Columbia is fully recognized by the people and in a democratic country like ours the will of the "people ~is~ ~ supreme." The 'resolution bearing upon the Crow's Nest Pass- Boundary railway question passed by the Associated Boards of Trade of that section of the province was carried by a very large majority, after.full notice and discussion. The policy is endorsed 'by some of the most representative papers in the Kootenay and also by investors in eastern Conada who have large investrnents in the province. Parliament cannot close.its ears to the demands of the people pf British Columbia, or ignore the conditions under which they labor in developing that province and finding a market for its products." ���*g*_i ��� tm,mm*.*��4**x*.*���*��***&*>.*..*,***&****���.

You save money by buying provisions at Crowston's. The annual meeting of "the Greenwood football club was held on Wednesday night in the Mas onic hall with R. From Rossland, where the head office of the company is situate, it is learned that a plan has been perfected whereby the treasury of the Brandon and Golden Crown Mining company will be restored, and will enable operations to be resumed shortly, on an extensive scale. Owing to the slump in the mining shares iu eastern Canada, the directors were unable to dispose of any more treasury ������ stock, and in con- seqence operations were suspended last November. Prior to that date, considerable ore shipments to the; Trail smelter had been made. The freight and treatment tate was such..that the directors did not feel justified in paying it any longer, especially as the smelter company declined to reduce the figure, unless a contract for a specific tonnage was entered" into, or unless the entire ��� output of the mine was sent to Trail, for one year at a fixed rate. ' The re-organization just effected, has taken a different-form from that usually adopted. Instead of the company being.re-constructed', and made assessable, as is the practice, the original subscribers have entered into a written agreement,in-virtue of which they have agreed to contribute or surrender to the treasury, 40 per cent of their original holdings'; and, as the subscribers' stock has been in a pool since 1897. this. arrangement was thus more easily accomplished, as the promoters'; stock was not scattered. By the plan adopted by the promoters, two important things have been accomplished. First, the saving.of the cost of reconstruction; and," secondty, the saving to the purchaser of treasury shares of an extra assessment. The' original subscriber's have thus shown evidence of their good faith, as well as their high opinion of the futuie of the property. With the treasury on hand, the 40 per cent contributed by the original subscribers, will bring the shares in the treasury to 450,000. Negotiations for the sale'.of a large block of the'-treasury shares are now in progress, and the proceeds will not only be sufficient'to payoff the floating debt but* will provide sufficient funds for working-capital, so that when preship- ments are resumed, it will be on a permanent basis. Last Monday night J. R. Brown, of Kamloops,Grand Chancellor iu B. C. of the Knights of,Pythias, paid an official visit to Greenwood lodge No. 29, K. of P.

The Grand Chancellor suitably addressed the lodge, his remaks being well received. After lodge business had been disposed of a banquet was served and two or three hours were very pleasantly spent, speeches, songs, and instrumental music combining to make the time one of social enjoyment.

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).

The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
