"BOOMING" PROCESS The Undertaking Launched Under Favorable Conditions���Work Has ��� Already Commenced. The historic Rock creek placers are again being exploited. This time not in the manner of the early sixties when the first feverish prospectors cradled its sands in their search for the yellow metal, but by a system known as i "booming. \ H. M. Keefer, mining broker of this city, and C. W. Vedder, of Spokane, have formed the ; Rock Creek Consolidated: Placer Mining company, limited. The undertaking is capitalized, for $7,500 in the 300 shares of the par value of $25 per share. The first board of directors has the names of Mayor R. W.. Jakes, M. D., ex-Mayor Robert Wood, P. P. Sharpe, A.. E). Ashcroft, C. E., C. W. Vedder, H. M. Keefer and H. C. Shaw. Within a week over 200 shares were subscribed for locally and a force of men has started operations. The company has acqured ten miles of creek digging leases along the course of Rock creek, from. "Jolly Jack's Bridge" to within a mile and a quarter of Rock Creek postoffice, at the junction-of that stream with the Kettle river. Albert E. Ashcroft, CE}., who thoroughly examined the creek and knows its conditions-says that thej only previous attempt to reach bedrock was made at the mouth of the creek and about a mile up, here the ground was worked by a hydraulic plant. Since its discovery all the. ���other bars and benches have been prospected by shafts and wooden pumps worked by water .wheels. During the early sixties a large floating population of miners was supported by its gold, and since then many Chinamen and a few whites have made wages. While no estimate is obtainable bearing with accuracy on the amount of yellow metal secured since its discovery Rock creek is generally credited with from $250,000 upwards. Miners are apparently well satisfied that if bed-rock could, be reached and worked, coarse gold in abundance would be obtained. With this end in view it is proposed by the company to work the ground by "booming.'- Briefly this consists of constructing a dam .at a suitable point in canyon, having a gate so built that when the reservoir is full, the gate is automatically opened and closed again when the subseqitent rush of water has passed. This process is continued for days or weeks, as long as it is necessary, the being to completely scour the stream bed for some considerable distance below the dam, thus exposing bed-rock which'can then be cleaned as in ordinary placer mining. This system is in vogue in the placer mines of New Zealand and has been proved an unqualified success under conditions similar to those obtaining at Rock creek. Where the wash overlaying the bed-rock is in the nature of a hard cement and the gold is flaky and fine, the system does not answer, but it is believed that what gold is on the bed-rock is coarse, and the wash, even if deep, is of such a character as to be moved by the process mentioned. ' Aneroid readings show that the rise in the bed of Rock creek along the course of the proposed operations, averages rather more than 100 feet to the mile, the rise being less toward the mouth of the stream, and at the upper end of the property, being- as much a�� three feet per 100 feet, or 150 feet,per mile. The sides of the gorge or canyon are steep for the whole distance and in most places extremely precipitious. The channel varies in width from 40 to 300 feet. The ground to be operated comprising 10 miles of the creek is divided into half .mile leases. At a point about six and a half miles above the commencement is the only existatit placer claimed, owned by Andy Donohue, a pioneer placer miner: of California and7A.ustra.lia.;- He;h%s worked for years practically- the whole of White's :bar7 700x100 :feet. It has afforded him, in: his old age,* for he is nearing the 70's,;a means of livlihood suitable to his "tastes. The company may acquire this claim. ���.."-'���; :'- The-scheme seems to be practicable when such well known .'mining-men as Frederick Keffer; M. E., Paul Johnson,- E- M., George H. Collins and others were not slow to appreciate the possibilities of recovering the gold of Rqck creek by-the method, proposed anci -which is now; being carried into execution. -THE- Speed, StrengthjDurability, Reliability and Adaptability to all classes of workere the qualities which make the the standard', everywhere.

Gilbert Mahon,manager of the Jewel, has-taken-anoption on-one-half interest in the Denoro Grande for $25,000. A full attendance of delegates to the annual meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade is expected and,an unusually interesting session expected as matters of great importance will be considered. The local board and citizens generally are arranging to entertain the visitors and show them the places of interest. A banquet will be held on Friday night in the. Windsor hotel. ���-* Among the questions tp be discussed are the following: 1. All matters acted upon by the association and hot yet disposed of by legislation. These include such points as the recognition of the Boundary country, on." the maps of the district, mine bulletins, wagon roads and the funds to raise the same for the opening up of mining districts, the necessity of a resident supreme court judge in the Kootenays, inadequate provision for public schools, maps showing -the occupied government lands, the saddling of municipalities with the construction of mining loads in their townships;the royalty on 'timber and che undefined nature of the right of mine owners to purchase the surface rights of their claims. '..'���-. "2. All matters acted on at the special meeting of /December 12, 1900, or referred ��� at ��������� that .meeting to the annual convention. This includes the approving of the appointment by the provin- cial~go'verem'e'if'of -.--"mining conrniis*" sion to enquire into the relations of the public policy -of the Dominion to the mining industry, the presentation of data to such a commission by the Associated Boards, the appointment of one or more members, nominated by the boards, to the mining commission, the suggestion of the names of G. O. Buchanan of Kaslo, D. Ross of Greenwood. and,R. F. Tolmie of Trail, as members of the commission, the crea- tion-of a separate department pf mines, the application of the coast boards to be admitted to the Associated Boaids, and the Coast to Kootenay railway. 3. By the Greenwood Board. The coal question as affecting the smelting interests of the mining sections,. 4. By the Grand Forks Board. Renewed efforts toward the appointment of a minister of mines in the Dominion cabinet. Open railway policy in Southern British Columbia. Cheaper freight rates into the Boundary cotfntry. Increased parliamentry representation in' Jbqth Pomjfliqnyand provincial houses. present a resolution defining the powers of the executive council of the association and providing that at any meeting regularly called the executive council may in its own name memorialize the Dominion or provincial governments or any of the departments or ministers of either, upon any questions; provided that a copy of any memorial so forwarded shall be immediately transmitted to each of the Boards of Trade within the association. And that it shall be competent for any local board to adopt and present a memorial upon the same subject. 8. By the Moyie Board: Be it resolved that it is expedient and necessary that the existing Fort Steele Mining Division be divided, and that this association recommend the following sub-division: A Southwestern Division beginning at a point on the western boundary of the present mining division, thence east along the watershed between St. Mary's river and Moyie river, passing north of Cranbrook and terminating at a point pn the west side of Kootenay river; thence following such river so as to include Wardner, south to the baundary line; thence west along said boundary line to boundary between East and West Kootenay; thence north along said last mentioned boundary to place of commencement, and a Northeastern division ���' embracing the remainder of the present Fort Steele Mining Division not included in the above boundaries. 9. By the Rossland Board. The necessity of legislation regulating' the platting of additions to townsites. Favoring the creation of a new county to be known as South Kootenay, to include the Trail Creek Mining Division a|id the whole drainage of the Kettle riverl To impress upon the provincial government the necessity of not disturbing the existing laws affecting the mining industry, as the continual tampering with them acts as a deterrent on the further investment of capital in this country. To request the provincial government to support with a monetary grant a Chamber of Mines for Southern British Columbia with headquarters at some cehtial point in Kootenay or Yale. The Dominion Copper company operating in Phoenix camp is about to expend $20,000 in an additional machinery plant. ' ______ The West Fork country is due for considerable attention this coming spring. Already there is. talk of a smelter being built at Rock creek to treat the ores of that section. A POPULAR BANKER. THE CITY COUNCIL. A Presentation Made to Mr. Anderson Before Leaving the City. Jas. Anderson, of the Bank of B. N. A,, left on Saturday for Rossland. A large number of friends were at the station to see him off, the majority of them having reached there after an exciting ride, the drivt'i being a bank manager who knows more about interest and discpunt than driving horses. A hearty cheer was given for the popular bank manager and as the train pulled out, "He's a Jolly Good Fellow," was sung. On Friday night Mr. Anderson's friends met at the Hotel Imperial and presented Mr. Anderson with a solid gold chain and locket, the latter bearing the inscription, "James Anderson, a token of friendship, Greenwood, B. C, 1901," "Better lo'ed ye canna be. Will ye no come back again." The presentation was made by Frederic Keffer, M. 13., of the British Columbia Copper company, who, in a neat speech, spoke of the very high esteem in which Mr. Anderson was held. Other gentlemen spoke briefly in appreciation of Mr. Anderson's many good qualities and extended a hearty welcome to his successor, Mr. Belt. .Songrs and-stories helped to make '."'��� the evening a most enjoyable one. \ In view of the fact that commissions have been appointed by our government and the United States to settle the boundary line in the Mount Baker district, whether or not it is advisable that such commission should extend its operations and investigations throujgh the whole of Southern British Columbia. 5. By the Trail Board. Whereas there is at the present time no lead refining works in the Dominion of Can~ ada and the initial cost of establishing such a plant is very great, it is the opinion of this association that the Dominion government should encourage the establishment of such a plant by a grant for a term of years of a bounty of per ton all lead of .Canadian origin smelted and refined in Canada. 6. By the Kamloops Board. Whereas the B. C. Inland Board of Trade of Kamloops has initiated a movement having in view the establishment in the neighborhood of Kamloops or at other point in the dry belt of British Columbia, of a sanitarium for the treatment -of persons suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis; and intends to petition both the federal and provincial governments for assistance in j establishing and maintaining such sanitarium, be it rssolved that this meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia hereby- endorses the action of the said B. C. Inland Board of Trade of Kamloops in this respect, and hopes that its endeavors to obtain .assistance from the federal and provincial governments for the establishing of such an institution as aforesad will meet with success.^" 7.

DUNCAN Ross : Editor. <UNlON x-jCT-x THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1901. HOUSTON'S BOGIE MAN. Mr. Houston's interview published in the Times last week, was intended to frighten people into declaring for railway monopoly in British Columbia. It has already been ridiculed by many newspaper and mining men, one mining engineer who has an intimate kowledge of British Columbia affairs, characterizing the statements as "tommy rot." Mr. Houston expresses his great alarm at the possibility of J. J. Hill securing control of the stock of the C. P. R. * company and consequently control of the railway. As was stated by Mr. Shaughnessy there is no reason why Mr. Hill should not secure control of the stock if he has money - enough to buy it. The stock is on the market in Montreal, New yorki.Epndon and other financial centers and) _nay.be purchased by Mr. Hill or any one else. It is held today by German, Frenchmen, American* and other foreigners and no alarm is felt. Why, the railway from almost its inception,, has been run by Americans. Wm. Van Home was a good American, afterwards became a British subject and was knighted, Mr.Shaughnessy was also an American, but is today a good British subject and it is quite possible that should Mr. Hill secure control of Canada's national railway he may return to the land of his birth and become Sir James Hill The ownership of the stock of the railway company cannot cut much of a figure. It will be run as a business venture and not on sentiment. There must surely be some other protection of the rights of the people besides looking into the nationality of the owners of C. P. R. stock. Capitalists, whether Canadian or otherwise, are always looking after the almighty dollar and to expect special consideration from them, in their business affairs, because of their patriotism or love of country is an absurdity. In the absence of government ownership~6f railways' the best possible safeguard is keen competition. Mr. Houston draws a harrowing picture of the terrible effects that will follow the death of the British Columbia smelters by a coal famine and the treatment of British Columbia ores by the United States smelter combine. Mr. Houston forgot to state that there is an insurmountable barrier to the exportation of British Columbia ores and it is that they are too low grade to stand transportation charges for any great distance. In order that the mining industry may continue profitable, the smelters must be erected as near the miues as possible. British Columbia copper ores are not peculiar in this respect. In Montana, in Arizona, in California, in fact in every section where copper ores are found, the smelters are erected near the minea. Even if Mr. Hill built a railway to the Crow'-. Nest coal land and secured control of C. P. R., the British Columbia smelters would flourish because Mr. Hill is running railways for business and business can only be increased by offering every encouragement to British Columbia smelters. Mr. Houston and others who are fighting the battles of the C. P. R. have hidden the principle involved in a wealth of fairy tales. To arrive at a proper conclusion in the matter, the subject must be considered without reference to the C. P. R. or the Crow's Nest Coal company. The heated discussion has been provoked by an application made to the Dominion parliament for a charter to build a railway connecting the Crow's Nest coal fields with the Great Northern system. The principle of an open door for railways should always be maintained. In all other provinces the refusal of a rail way charter is never thought of knd would not be tolerated but in Blitish Columbia when an application is made the old flag is waved and an appeal made to Canadian sentiment. It was not fair to British Columbia that the Kettle River railway charter was refused and it would be equally unfair to refuse the present application. So long as the people of British Columbia will make local prejudices and interests the sum and substance of their public life, so long will they be under the blighting influence of railway monopoly. They should learn a lesson from the sturdy men of their sister province, Manitoba, who had to make the same fight and who won by standing together. Mr. Richard Marsh in a very strong .letter to the Rossland Miner.succinctly sums up the situation as follows: '���'To sum up the question, the proposed charter should be granted for the followiug reasons: First, experience proves that copper smelting must be done near the producing mines, consequently British Columbia copper smelting interests cannot be injured by the proposed railway. "Second, the miniug interests are vastly more important than the smelting interests can possibly be, consequently mining interests are entitled to first consideration. Eead smelting is the only branch of the smelting industry where the proposed road would be. liable to cause active competition. Lack of this competition, caused largely by immense production ef lead in the Coeur d' Alenes, is exactly what the mines of Slocan and East Kootenay are now suffering from. This competition will be partially, and perhaps wholly, compensated for by widening the source of dry ore supply available to British Columbia smelters, a lack of dry ores beingone of constant complaint among Canadian smelters, and for which these British Columbia smelters are now offering specially low rates. '" . "Third, a refusal to allow construction of this road is practical libel on Canadian mechanical and scientific ability. With the advantage of a. shorter haul on both fuel and ore Canada should certainly be able to com-' pete and todraw dry ores from nearby points in the states. . "Fourth, the proposed road offers a! magnificent market for British Columbia coal, thereby giving employment to a great number of men, .and will give'entry to sections of the states already consuming enormous amounts of fuel, and in which it would have every advantage over all competitors as to quantity, quality and cheapness of production." *- SWAM HOUSE Comfortable furnished rooms.

The announcement will be gladly welcomed by the opponents of the Dunsmuir government. The present provincial government owes its existence largely to the fact that members of parliament and others were restrained from taking decisive action by the fact that the death of the present government would mean the infliction of Jos. Martin upon the province. Mr. Martin has ability and many good qualities, but as a leader he is simply an impossibility. His advent into provincial politics delayed the declaration for party lines. Upon his retirement there is no good reason why the Liberals should not declare for party lines and organize to make a strong fight. "Mr-'MSSi^iS-TSe^WeirSalmedrthe1 stormy petrel of Canadian politics. He uot only struck terror into the hearts of his political opponents, but he had the unhappy knack of dividing those who might be. his party friends. He almost wrecked the Liberal party in this province in last provincial election, his defeat was all that prevented his doing so. "We hope that Mr. Martin will not delay his retirement and as soon as this is done that the Liberals will organize thoroughly throughout the province. CHARLES AE.

" Perhaps not one reader out of a hundred understands what a ton-mile means and not one out of a thousand understands what the rate means when translated into a car and distance.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS. \> Passed by the Phoenix Municipal Couneil. At a recent meeting- of the Phoenix municipal council, the following* resolutions were passed and the Associated Boards of Trade requested to endorse the same: "Whereas, The supply of coal and coke to the smelters of Southern-Kootenay and Yale is at present inadequate, and there is serious risk of some of the smelters having- to shut down: "And whereas, There is dang*er that the supply will be made still more inadequate by the builfling- of a railway from the United States to tap the coal fields of the Crow's Nest Pass and export coal from the province: "Resolved,-By the municipal council of the corporation of the City of Phoenix, that it is indispensible that an export duty be placed on coal from the interior of t he province, so arranged, however, that any surplus over and above the demand of British Columbia may go out free of duty: "And whereas, It hat been proposed to restrict the exportation of coal by refusing- charters to railway companies proposing- to build into the province from the United States: "And whereas, Thc fact that coal and coke are at the present time being- exported from the Crow's Nest Pass outof-the-province by-a Canadian railway clearly shows that refusing railway charters is no guarantee against the export of coal: 7 y y "And* whereas, The policy of refusing railway charters would be most disastrous to the development-of the province in other respects: "Resolved, By the municipal cpunctl of the corporation of the' City of Phoe. ��� nix, that the only satisfactory settlement of the coal question is the imposition of an export duty on coal: * "And resolved, That this council is strongly in favor of allowing as many railways as possible to come into the province from the United States or elsewhere: "And resolved, That this council is strongly opposed the imposition of any export duty on ores, as such a policy ���would place mine owners even more at the mercy of smelters than they are at thc present time. "Whereas, Several private bills are about to be introduced into the Ivegis- lotive Assembly of British Columbia to give private companies great powers over the water of South Yale: "Resolved, By the municipal council of the corporation of the City of Phoenix, that the Water Clauses Consolidation Act gives eyery facility to bona fide applicants to obtain water for every legitimate purpose, and that no special legislation regarding water should be passed: "And resolved, That this council strongly protests against any legislation which might override the control of cities over their own water franchises and other franchises." "Whereas, The Dominion parliament has voted a salary for an additional county court judge foi*. British Columbia: "And whereas, It is absolutely essential that such judge be given to the Boundary district: "And whereas, It is necessary, in order to accomplish such purpose, to divide the present counties of Kootenay and Yale into three counties: "And whereas, The logical method of division is to group points oh the same line of railway tpgether in one county: ������ . '* "Resolved, By the municipal council of the Corporation of the City of Phoenix, that the present counties of Kootenay and Yale should be divided into three counties as follows: "All the northern portions of Kootenay and Yale, along the main line of the C.P.R., to be grouped together in one county: "The southern portion of Kootenay to be a second county: "The southern portion of Yale to be a third county. "And in view of the immense population growing up in the southern part of Yale, this council strongly protests against any proposal to throw Rossland into the same county as the southj em portion of Yale."

Provincial Legislature Now in Session. The legislature opened ou Thursday last. The speech from the throne made appropriate reference to thedeath of the Queen aud.then foreshadowed legislation in the following: Mr. Speaker ana Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly: "I now welcome you to the second session of the ninth parliament. "Since your last meeting we have had to deplore the loss of our beloved Sovereign, Queen yictoria._who, during her long and beneficent reign, had become endeared: to 'the hearts of all her subjects. In no part of Her Majesty's dominions-were her many noble qualities as a Queen and a woman more highly admired, or hasjher death heen more deeply lamented; than in Biitish Columbia. I trust you will take : n early opportunity to pass "an address of condolence to the Royal Family, expressing the deep sense of bereavement which is felt by the people of this pro vince. "As a mark of appreciation" of the valiant services rendered by the volunteers from British Columbia who went to Soutli Africa to assist the Empire in the war with the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, my government will introduce a measure authorizing the conveyance to them of free grants of land. "Anieasurs will be submitted amending the school act. "There will be submitted for your consideration a bill having for its object the encouragemsnt of the wood pulp industry in British Columbia. "I am pleased to know that the dairy industry continues to develop in so satisfactory a manner, and that new creameries are being established. My minister of agriculture . has obtained the promise of continued co-operation on the part of the Dominion in rendering expert assistance in their construction and subsequent operation, and in giving instruction in the manufacture of butter and cheese. "Recognizing the importance of en- coura^ging^proviilcial'trade in-agricul-t tural and other natural products, and in particular of promoting a market for the produce of farmers in the mining districts, efforts have been made to secure such a reduction of freight rates as will materially tend in that direction; and I am pleased to announce that this will be brought about. "For the purpose bf promoting settlement, my government is considering the advisability of introducing legislation having in view the extension of the system of small holdings. "B measure will be introduced with the view of aiding in the construction of a railway from the Boundary Creek District to the coast; Of a "railway to the northern- end of Vancouver Island; and of a railway in Canadian territory from the coast to the northern boundary of the province. ���" Provision was made by you at the last session of the legislature for the appointment of a commission to inquire, into the working of the Mining actsj and much .preliminary information has been obtained by the department of mines in anticipation of the commission being issuepjbutit having been announced that the Dominion government also, intended issuing a commission with respect to our mineral resources, a postponement was deemed desirable, in order to ascertain to what extent these commissions .might be able to co-operate to the advatitage of the province. _ ��� '..' "Amendrirents will be introduced to perfect, as far as possible, existing mininfi laws.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-02-28 |
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. |
