MURDERER IN CUSTQDY. F. McGill De Revier. the Prisoner. Claims that He Did the Deed in Self - Defense. "I murdered;him, but it was in self- defense," these words formed.the.startling- sentence of a confession made by James*.P. McGill. de Revier, when placed under arrest by Provincial Constable Joe Darraugh at Denero, last .Saturday night,f or the killing- of-Harry Rowand. Itjwas late that evening-when a telephone message was delivered to the constalble that he was wanted immediately at Denero. The message was' vague in the7extreme,;; simply stating that a man was dead. The constable, accompanied by a Times representative, made a hurried drive ,'to Denero. Arriving there tlie" facts of the slaying were ascertained, and in the company of a curious crowd the prisoner led the constable and newspaper man to his log cabin. There on the floor, in a pool of blood, lay the body of Harry Rowan, as he fell, launched into eternity by the hand of De Revier. After a brief examination of the~ cabin andjthe'prisoner having put on his wintefr*overcoat, the party left the house of death, preparatory tp the dtive home. -Though cautioned" not to talk, the Frenchman, from time to time on his way to Greenwood,,went over the story of the terrible affair. On Sunday, Dr. Jakes, the-' coroner; W. G. McMynn, Constable Darraugh, Dr. Foster and the prisoner went up to Denero. Dr. Foster made a post-mortem examination-of the-body; an inquest was held, and the prisoner, was held responsible for the death of Harry Rd wand. - ,- Substantially his narrative of the affair was as follows: Early Saturday evening- he was iri -his cabin with Thomas Jones,'' a friend. . Deceased came in arid was'introduced^to him by" Jones * as a good fellow and the three had something Ho drink. Jones* went to bed on the floor. Shortly after Rowand, .who appears to have been, con- siderably-uneler. the influence of-liquor picked a quarrel" with the prisoner. They'talked heatedly intrench,,-which Jones does not understand., De Revier claims Rowand threatened-to choke ���si **�������� ���tMyv^T'X aaa iaujm_Ji.g__,f|."|''_g_g| Speed, Strength,Durability, Reliability and Adaptability to all classes of work,are the qualities which make the IB the standard everywhere.

He then told Rowand he would stab him unless he quit., But to no avail, a second time the two fought and Rowand who was a stronger; inin held him over a hot stove. Then he drew his pocket knife, opened it' and stabbed deceased twice, inflicting a ��� mortal wound. Rowand dropped to the floor and the Frenchman terrified at what he had done called to Jones to get a doctor. Jones went to a nearby hotel and told the crowd what had happened, and when Alberta Benson and several others got to the cabin it was to find Rowand dead. De Revier was taken in" charge and kept at the hotel pending the arrival of the constable. While waiting there tie repeated several times a confession that he had killed the man, but was forced to do so in self- defense. �� y Harry Rowand came to the Boundary about two years ago. He was formerly in the service of the Canadian Pacific railway, as paymaster of an eastern division. He had worked in the mines and up to about ten days before he came to his untimely end, he was employed at the B. C/mine. He had been drinking more or less since then; but it is said was not of a quarrelsome nature. He leaves a mother and two sisters living in Toronto. James F. McGill De Revier, was born in France 46 years ago. He has a wife living in Ottawa,and his mother resides at Quebec. A civil engineer by profession he was for a time employed in connection with the building of the Crow's Nest, railway. For some months past he has been living in a shack at Denero doing little or nothing. Recently he has been ill with la grippe and claims to have been in bed most of last Saturday. Being of a nervous temperment, and physically, unable to defend himself in case of assault by a man such as deceased was, he said he was forced to use his knite in self- defense. The knife was an ordinary clasp- knife, with spring-back. It had a blade four inches long, that was sharpened to a fine edge. When arrested he produced the knife which had been wiped clean of all blood stains. Coroner R. W. Jakes, M. D., em- panalled a jury composed of John P. Harlan, R'. B. Chisholm, M. G.Mc- Leod, John McMillan, George Olson, and Daniel Wells. After examining the witnesses the jury brought in the following: "We, the jury find that the deceased came to his death from a knife stab in the heart at the hands of J. McGill De Revier, on the evening of the 16th of February, 1901." On Tuesday Provincial Officer McMynn received- telegraphic instructions from Toronto to have the remains of Harry Rowand prepared for shipment east. STRIKE ON SALLY A West Fork Property That Has Very Rich Ore. NOW ON SHIPPING LIST, SMELTER IS RUNNING After many annoying, but unavoidable delays, the "blowing in", of the smelter of the British Columbia Copper company was finally accomplished on- Monday. At 7:30 p. m. the big furnace was fired vup and in exactly 50,minutes after, molten ore commenced to flow through the trapped spout into the foreheath. Since then everything has been working smoothly, as though the plant had been in operation for.mbnths. Throughout the day a steady stream of sightseers were on hand to watch operations and to heartily congratulate Manager. Paul. Johnson', E. M., on the success of'the.initial run. A full description of the plant was given in the last issue of the Times and there is little to add to it. Greenwood has a smelter that it can justly be proud of���a monument to the growth of the mining industry of the Boundary. It is planned with a view to an ultimate addition of five more furnaces, and the treatment* of 2,000 tons of ore per day. Before many weeks go by a second furnace will be installed. Sometime during the summer, so Mr. Underwood, a .director; of'the company, "informed the Times when here recently, a converting plant will be installed. The contract for the machinery has already been let .to the E. P. Allis company, of Milwaukee. Beside about 8,000 tons of Mother Lode ore on hand shipments have been received from the Gold Bug. Little Bertha and No. 7. There is sufficient supply of both coal and coke to insure a steady running, and unless the unforseen happens, there will be. no interruptions from now on. No alarm need be felt about the fumes from the smoke-stacS.. It'was built high enough to carry same above the Jown, and moreover the prevailing winds ...carry the. fumes up the draw formed by Copper creek. Vegetation will not suffer. The Property is Owned by Greenwood Citizens���Kin? Solomon Mine Looking Up Well. There is much activity in the West Fork country. Both the Carmi and Sally are sending out ore. Frank Chadler, one of the owners of the King Solomon, was in town during the week and reports development progressing satisfactorily. Speaking of his claim he said: "There are three parallel ledges on the King Solomon, having six feet, five feet and 18 inches of gold- copper ore respectively. Oa the largest ledge there is a 35-foot shaft with a 10- foot drift at the bottom. At this depth the ore is six and one-half feet solid between walls. There is also a 25-foot tunnel on the lead. On the vein measuring five feet, known as the upper vein, we have a 74-foot tunnel and two prospecting shafts each down 14 feet. "The Sally, owned by Robert Wood and associates of Greenwood, has some extremely rich ore, in a stope opened up at the end of 180-foot tunnel.. Here the ore is-four feet in width, of quartz carrying native silver. The mine has a force of 10 men. The ore is raw- hided to, Beaverton and from there taken on -sleighs to Midway. It costs $7 per ton to rawhide it and $12 to haul it to Midway for' shipment to the smelter. The ore, however, is exceedingly rich,.;runn ing from $250 to $500 per ton. It\is ��ne of the bonanzas of the West Fork. Besides this rich lead there is a second one that is shortly to be exploited. The ore from this lead will average fully $40 per ton." A. load of rich looking ore was brought to the Greenwood smelter from the Little Bertha oh Sunday last. The Little Bertha which is situated on the North Fork is owned by a company in which A. T. Kehdrick, of this city, is heavily interested. -. THE CITY COUNCIL. Business Transacted at Special and Regular Meetings. *���A- special meetingof the city council was held on Friday evening. Aid. Sullivan was absent on account of illness.' The city clerk at Pii pen ix wrote Btating that the Phoenix council would co-operate with that of Greenwood in keepingTwin creek free from pollution. The <Slerk was" instructed to thank the Phoenix council for its assistance in this matter. -Fife ��� Chief' Hallett withdrew his application, for reappointment and the fire department left the appointment in the -hands of the council suggesting the names of F. H. McKenzie and J. F. Rodgers. The council decided to dispense with the services of M. EUder- tnan, driver; J. M. Cropley, caretaker at the cemetery, and called for applications for the position of fire chief, driver and assessor, the first two till February 28 and the latter until Monday evening. .. At the regular meeting of the council on Monday evening all the mem-- bers except Aid. Miller were present. The annual report of Dr. Schon, medical officer of health, was received and referred to the board of health, In it he congratulated the city upon freedom from disease and made several valuable suggestions in reference to sewerage, waterworks and other matters. Adolph Fisher again asked for a settlement of the alley question and the city solicitor was requested to go into the whole matter. The city clerk was appointed assessor and he. was given a bonus of $75 for doing the work. City Scavanger Wrig'tit .was again awarded the contract for the coming year. '...���-."���'' T.he estimate by-law was again considered and the council adjourned. THE TRAMWAY. Superintendent of Construction L. M. Rice in the City. '....__ _ " L. MrRiceTcrE"."."arrived7_rot_r3eat- tle on Saturday and spent several days in the city. As already, announced in the Times, Mr. Rice has been engaged to superintend the construction of the tramway, final arrangements having been completed during his visit here. Mr. Rice returned to Seattle in order to wind up his bnsiness there. He will behere permanently in a few days when active work will be commenced^ Mr. Rice could give no information as to the route. He stated that immediately upon his return to Greenwood, the necessary surveys and estimates of work would be rushed. The company have decided that there will be no delay from the time Mr. Rice begins work. The necessary money for the completion of the tramway is at the disposal of the company and it is the intention to finish the Greenwod-Phoe- nix portion of the line as speedily as possible. MORTIMER-Z.OMAN. Mr. E. H. Mortimer, son of Captain Mortimer, of Southampton, England, and Miss Rose Zioman, were married in the Church of England on Thursday last, Rev. W.A. Robins officiating. After the marriage ceremony a wedding dinner was served at the B. C. hotel. The young couple went housekeeping immediately on Long Lake street. Mr. Mortimer is one**of the most popular young business men in the city and the Times joins his many friends in extending congratulations. The Emma, in Summit camp, has now joined the shipping list, 'having sent out its first .consignment this week. Jack Harlan is in charge of development and has a dozen men excavating ore from the surface. A SISTERS' HOSPITAL. Likely to Be Opened in Greenwood in _ _���_ _ the Wear Future. Greenwood is to have a sisters' hospital. Rev. Father Bedard is the authority for the statement that the sisters have practically decided to open in Greenwood. "To all those who have some knowledge of the careful attention received by patients in an institution of this kind, the news will be indeed welcome. In this work the sisters recognize'no creed nor religion, but give the same treatment to all those who enter the doors of their hospital. They have done noble work in Rossland and other mining camps. It is also reported that the Miners' Union are thinking of erecting a hospital in the city, but as it is hoped that they will assist the sisters in supporting a really first-class hospital in the city. One good hospital is better than two or more indifFerent ones and from the treatment miners received in sisters' hospitals elsewhere,they should be gladly welcomed and supported by the miners in this city. Tomato, cabbages, cauliflower, etc., for re-planting from Furguson's hothouses. Apply Ehrlich & Humphrey, Copper street. 2t The Bank of B. N. A. has been making some changes under which Greenwood looses one of its popular bank managers. W. T. OlivWfof Rossland, has been promoted to the management of the London branch and Jas. Ander- * son of Greenwood, takes charge at Rossland. Mr. Anderson is succeeded by W. G. H. Belt who for some time was manager of the Bennett branch. While Mr. Anderson's many friends are glad of his well deserved promotion, they sincerely regret the loss of a courteous business man and an all round good fellow. C. R. Pittock, one of the popular proprietors of the Gem restaurant, has returned from a_ holiday trip to California. il * i m * !

PUBLISHED BY The Greenwood Times Printing and Publishing Company, Limited. DUXCAN Ross Editor. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1901. GREENWOOD'S GROWING TIME. TtiE rubicon has been crossed. Greenwood has entered an era of prosperity which is not based on any temporary boom but on the permanency of the mineral resources of the district, and the successful operation of industrial enterprises. The dullness of trade during the last few months was the natural reaction after a season of remarkable activity. The expenditure of millions of dollars on: railway construction within a limited area made business exceptionally brisk in the towns directly affected. As is customary in such cases, business men did not give sufficient thought for the future and acted as if these conditions were permanent.. When the railway was completed the reaction set in. The mineral resources were not . sufficiently developed to furnish a sufficient business to maintain the volume in construction days.������' It was surprising under the circumstances that there have been but few failures. Since the completion of the railway the district has been rapidly developed. Mines have been placed on'a shipping basis, smelters constructed and other industrial enterprises started. The. future of the district is assured. Business is now on a solid, permanent basis. With mines about whose wealth there is now not the slightest doubt, with smelters treating the ore right at home, all giving employment to a large number of men, there is indeed a bright prospect for the city. The blowing in of ihe Greenwood smelter is the beginning of a new era i in theJIi-Etcr-.-.rf'the city. Quickly upon this will follow the operation of the Standard Pyritic smelter. Work will shortly start on the construction of the tramway. The future greatness of the city is being worked out as quickly as couldbe expected and while a season of ITard 7tiines^was"*inconvenient and unpleasant, those who had the grit to stay with the town have now their reward in the absolute certainty of conditions as satisfactory as can be found in any city in the world. While experience is a stern tutor, it is also a wise one. Many invaluable lessons were taught during the season of depression which cannot but assist in placing the city-ised its business men on a more solid basis than ever. The Times, cannot be accused of booming or boasting. It was confident of the future of the city and was satisfied to wait until the turning point came. Now that it has come we can safely say without fear of contradiction that Greenwood is what it was destined to be, the mining, smelting, commercial, and financial center of the Boundary district. the Dominion of Canada, is appealing to the Canadians to protect the country (?) (it should be said the C.P.R.) against the encroachments of J. J. Hill, another great monopoly from across the line. This is amusing; the Canadians should protect themselves against both monopolies���the people are the government and the government should protect the people by building and operating the railways in British Columbia, and especially in the Boundary country, which is known to be the most extensive and richest mineral country on the globe. Under the above heading you state that the Granby company is paying the C.P.R. $400 per day at present, and, if reports are true, this will be more than doubled in the near future. With two smelters in operation and a third to be blown in in a few days and prospects of two more smelters being built .in this vicinity the coming summer and the development of so many mining properties the tonnage of ore in the Boundary district will be enormous. The time is past for granting valuablefian- chises to private parties who sell them to giant monopolies to the detriment of the masses. The provincial government should not grant the many franchises applied for, but should build and operate the railways in British Columbia. The city of Greenwood should own the electric light plant and should bhild and operate the tramway. Every dollar required to do this could be borrowed and in a short time the city would receive a large revenue from both enterprises,- after paying interest on sinking fund, etcetera. The opportunity presents itself and if Greenwood is to be the commercial center or a side-issue to some other enfrprising town all depends on her citizens. The C. P. R. does not want protection against J.J.Hill for the benefit of the pecrple of British Columbia, but for their own private gain. If: the government had retained and operated coal fields the smelter companies and others would not be at the mercy of the C. P. R. or any other monopoly. A private company will not build the tramway for any other reason than the dollars they expect to make out of the enterprise, and while it would be a great benefit to Greenwood, if built by a private company, it would be much more so if built by the city; but you hear men say it can not be done, such men set idly by and wonder what will happen next, while others make fortunes by doing what they said could not be done. I hope to hear the views of others, as you invite discussion of the railway question. . W.J. Kirkwood. #** -9 SWAM HOUSE Comfortable furnished rooms. Private Board.

Another evidence of Greenwood's growing time is to be found in the advent of the Salvation Army. If you want to enjoy smelter fumes you must go up into the draw leading to Deadwood cflS_p. You can't find them in the city. . This will be a record year in Greenwood. Two smelters and a tramway system are among the certainties. Two additional smelters and another railway among the probabilities. ; We have paid special attention to the construction of Pumping Machinery for duty in Mines; our unsurpassed facilities and imroved methods have given our Pumps a Dominion wide reputation.

Thjj journalistic crusade against competion in railways in British Columbia continues with unabatel vig-or. ' Scarcely a day passes without a new dress for the bogy man which has been created for the purpose of frightening- good, loyal, patriotic citizens of this country and particularly those of Southern British Columbia. The salvation of country can be secured only by a perpetuation of a gigantic railway ; monopoly in the mining districts of Southern British Columbia and its damnation is assured if Jim Hill or any other railway magnate builds competitive railways in the country. They most ingenious arguments can be manufactured when the material used is patriotism and loyalty to one's country, but the fact that these arguments are manufactured cannot destroy the soundness of the theory that in the absence of government bwner- ��� ship of railways, the only protection the people have against exorbitant rates and irregular service is competition. There is uniformity of argument in favor of the C.P.R. that is surprising. One editor professing an enmity to the C.P.R. gets behind the public interest and states the C.P.R. case as strongly as it can be put, an.ex-mayor and politician of Rossland echoes the same sentiments and lesser lights reechoes them at clifferent points throughout the province. John Houston, the editor of the Nelson Tribune, is in Montreal and while there he took advantage of an invitation from the Montreal Star to'forcib.ly express his views on the transportation question. . Entrenching- : himself behind an alleged enmity to the C. P. R., he puts the case.of that corporation ��� in the ; strongest- possible language. His statements are published below, not because the Times endorses them, but in order to arrive at an intelligent conclusion both sides must be heard. Here is what Mr. Houston said: --.7 o "The acquiring of the Crow's Nest coal lands by; James J. Hill and the capitalists behind .him is simply the first step in securing;.the control of the Canadian Pacific railway. That statement looks like a bit of romance, but it would not be-.-very difficult for -the powerful financ.al interests which Mr. Hill represents to-secure a majority of the common stock of the great Canadian railway. Though I have no love ���for the Cf, P. R., because in the past it has been more than selfish, I think the .time, has come when every Can- : adian should oppose Mr. Hill and the interests- he represents in securing a foothold in Canada.rEvetr if it means the government ownership of railways, Mr. Hill and'his associates "should be made to. keep to.their interests on the other side of the line. .-".As a resident of British Columbia, I am opposed to Mr. Hill .securing, control of.the Crow's Nest coal, lands,, and I think for the Dominion parliament to grant a charter to construct a line of railway from the coalfields south to" the boundary would be nothing'_ short of suicidal to the interests of British Columbia. It would mean, the wiping out at once of the Canadian smelting interests; It would mean the smelting and treating of British Columbia . ores in the United States. "With-the Crow's Nest Pass coal areas in the hands of United States capitalists, what smelter could.do business- in Canada if Mr. Hill did not want it to do so?" ; "What about the charges which have been made that the rates charged for -...smelting and treating ores at the^ Can- rates from East Kootenay as well as the Slocan district, had been reduced a dollar a ton, and that the American Smelling and Refining company, instead of being willing to offer a corresponding reduction in their freight and treatment charges, were unwilling to quote any treatment rates whatsoever; even though the Kootenay lead miners were willing to undertake the delivery of their lead ores to any of the American companies' works that might be designated. Upon my arrival in Montreal I found that several very large and influential mine owners had telegraphed direct to the head office of the American Smelting and Refining company asking them to quote treatment rates at their different works, leaving the mine owners to deliver and arrange their own freight rates. The reply received to this request was that the company was not in.the market for British Columbia lead ores. I also learned since coining east that this company had previously raised refining rates on the bullion produced by Canadian smelters by 3.4 a ton, "With all these facts now known it does not take a very brilliant person to see and understand the conspiracy which is underway at Ottawa, where a powerful combination of United States trusts, including the American Refin-. ing company, which controls practically every smelter in the United States, James J.Hill, J. Pierpont Morgan and others, intend to quietly capture the smelting and refining interests of Canada and place the valuable mines of the Kootenay country in the hands of a single man, who will control ��� its coal fields through which he will be. able to crush :put Canadian smelting industries and favor rival industries in the United States which are now located and established on his numerous lines of railway. "Now, for instance, let us look for a moment at the different moves in this big game which is being played \vith all the skill and determination for which Mr. Hill is noted in his country. First, the American Smelting and Refining company, some of whose directors are the heads of the great Standard Oil trust, raise the rates for refining the product of'Canadian smelters with a view to removing the competition of Canadian smelters in the purchase of Canadian ores. Second, this same company announces its intention of withdrawing from the British Co- Columbia lead niarkef, although it is well .kuown that these ores are the cleanest and best smelting ores in the world. Third, the purchase by Mr. Hill, who was "associated with the Standard Oil company magnates in the recent^ manipulations by which ..he sought to secure control of large railway interests and property in the United States, of the Crow's Nest coal areas which contain the only available coking coal in Canada. Fourth, the application through the Crew's Nest Coal company for a charter for che construction of a line of railway, from these coal fields to the international boundary and on to Montana, where even the present owners of the coal fields are supplying consumers at a lower rate than is quoted in British Columbia. '''.'*.* "The whole question, to my mind, is a good.deal more than merely a fight between Mr. Hill and'.the interests ;he represents and the Canadian Pacific. It is really a struggle on the part of the people of British Columbia, and all Canadians for that matter, against the operations of one of the most powerful and relentless combinations of capital thePUnited States has ever seen. The object sought is clear. JameB J. Hill wants an opportunity squeeze Canada, adiain Pacific smelter at Trail are exorbitant?" -7 . "A glance at the prices which.were charged for smelting at Trail a :few years ago is enough to convince the most sceptical that very great reduc- ; tions have been made in the charges. For instance, on the first75,000 tons of .. Le Roi ore shipped to Trail, when it'_\if "ose works were owned by Mr. Heinze, the freight and treatment.charges were $11 per ton, and from the government investigation at Rossland of the Le Roi taxes, it was shown that since the starting of the Northport smelter, the rate charged the Le Roi mine for ( smelting and treatment has been and still is $8.75 per ton, or $4 per ton more than the Trail smelter is now charging the mines in that district. - Nor do I think the limit of cheap smelting in British Columbia has yet been reached. Considering these facts I think it would be a serious mistake to allow the Crow's Nest coal areas to fall into the hands of men whose interests are to have ��� Canadian ore smelted in the United States. "When I left Kootenay, about two weeks ago, the mine owners were led to believe by the American Smelting and Refining company that the leasons ..why they*intended withdrawing from the Kootenay market was that the Canadian Pacific freight rates were too high. At the instigation of the. American Smelting 7and Refining company a meeting of the mine .owners was called in Sandon. A representative of the company was present .at this meeting. It was then discovered that the statements made by the American Smelting . and Refining company regarding the freight rates were untrue, and that on the contrary all freight as one would squeeze a sponge, and as" that same.gentleman has squeezed the western states of the American union for years. The fight is'going to be a hot one, and it will center around the application made through the present Crow's Nest Coal company to the Do-; minion parliament for a charter to construct a line of railway" south from the-coal -fields to the international boundary. The people of the province of British Columbia are going to. take a part in that fight at Ottawa, and an important part, too, unless I am very much mistaken. We don't love the Canadian Pacific railway in our country, and have never had any reason to, but in this instance there is only one patriotic course to pursue, and that is to see that Mr. Jim Hill and his crowd are kept to the south of the international boundary line." That is the case of the for the C. P. R. From beginning to end, it is nothing but clever special"* pleading. The arguments are at least remarkable for their length and consequently we are forced to defer for a week any reply thereto. In the meantime we must be satisfied with pointing put the absurdity of denying railway competition because a certain company own certain coal areas in the Crow's Nest Pass. STARTING THE COMPRESSOR. The Anaconda News, an interesting; weekly published by Master R. Keffer, contains the following regarding the starting of the big compressor at the Mother Lode: .- Starting the Compressor���A party of six people from town went dp to the Mother Lode to see the big fly wheel start. The wheel started at half-past 10 o'clock and it went finely. Not a single hitch in the whole vast ma- chi__e,"to the delight of all. After running the new compressor about five* minutes, the building was filled with a cloud of steam. The throttle shut off brought the great wheel to a stand still. After this ceremony all the engineers and the visitors* sat down: to a.banquet served in the dining-room. -All ended in a flow of eloquence and congratulations to theTB.C. Copper Coi and Jas.

Date Issued | 1901-02-21 |
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. |
