Having but a hazy idea.of the imperfections of the much discussed West Fork road and being, anxious to se�� the country, Kerr's eloquent descriptions of the glories of: the trip took and we went. There was some satisfaction in having companions in affliction In' the persons of Dune 7 Mcintosh Eirid.Ttios. McDonnell. "���' Notwithstanding the conditions of the road, the trip was well worth the making. Erven the most cursory examination convinces one that near Greenwood and tributary thereto is a district rich'in natural resources. Its wealth is not confined to miiunl. There are long stretches of timber . s perfect as any that can be found anywhere in the province.Tall stately pin -, fir, tamarack and beeches, curvelijss and knotless, grow in abundance on both sides of the West Fork. Then there are miles of rich sandy loam that will produce enough to supply the mines and maintain a large agricultural population in the valley of the West Fork. Its mineral wealth has yetto he demonstrated_-but__in__ti_nber_ and in the richness and extent of its arable land the West Fork leads Boundary. The development of the Carmi, the wonderful showing on adjoining claims ar.d those up from Beaver Creek and the richness of the ore, all point to an important mining district. Taking everything into consideration, the West Fork is well worth watching. From a provincial standpoint the government would make no mistake in taking chances. In the building of a wagon road, in the grants of assistance to a railway, the district will prove false to every indication unless it returns twenty-fold every dollar that may be-given in assisting its development.

Lack pf .time and a depth of snow on the mountains prevented an examination of more than a few of the mining properties, on the West Fork, but enough were seen to prove that if there were none other than the properties seen, the district would not be an unimportant .one.'. The best developed mine in. the district is the Carmi, situated on the West Fork, and about four miles' risHT^of Beaver creek. It was located by Jas. Dale in May, 1896, and like many another rich property it was discovered by chance. Dale was at that time prospecting in West Fork country and camped one night on Beaver creek. Early next morning he struck for the hills and'travelled nearly all day. A thick fog came up with the result that he lost his bearings and night coming on decided to camp where he was. Next morning broke clear and Dale made for the river. Just as he was about to descend the bank he discovered an outcropping. After getting to his camp and something to eat, he returned and staked the claim, calling it the Carmi. The surrounding country is covered by a heavy wash, so that a prospecttor might-have travelled^-for--years in-that locality and not have seen any indication of ore. Development work on the Carmi has demonstrated that the property is a rich one. In May, 1899, it was bpnded by Mr. Lennie, representing the Bunker Hill and Sullivan-- people. They transferred the bond to Mr. Sonneman of Spokane, who in turn sold to E. H. Thruston, the present owner. Development t work comprises 100-foot tunnel on the vein, a 60-foot shaft and drifting at the discovery post. The vein was traced by open cuts a distance of 1,300 feet to the west end of the claim. Here a shaft was sunk'53 feet and another 110 feet deep. At the bottom of this shaft is 117 feet of drifting. Betweeu thc 65-foot level and the surface 1,100 tons of rich ore has been stoped out and hauled to Midway, thence by railway to the Greenwood smelter. The ore was'hauled over a sleigh road built by the owners of the Carmi to connect with the unfinished West Fork wagon road. Several hundred tons of this ore are scattered along the wagon road and are now being taken to Midway in wagons. The contractor for hauling the ore is J. Munson and the cost., to Midway is 311.50 per ton. 'Notwithstanding this high cost of transportation, the ore yields a large profit as it runs from S45 to SoS to the ton, the values being in gold and silver, there being generally one ounce of silver to five in gold. The vein is as near a true fissure as can be found; It runs from 4_4 to 7 feet in width and the ore between the walls is without a waste. The same veiu has' been traced ou t__J Biittxisr Boy, an adjoining property owned by las. Kerr and James Dale, the original owners..of "t~he Carmi. Here considerable development work has been done, showing that the property is a very- valuable one. The Carmi vein has also been traced to the May, owned by the same parties. Included in the group Own*'! Hv fl-iotn. are Vine Mn, 3, No. 6, No. 2 Bractio-a una xri-s -__���..*_._.. Across the river is the Great Hopes group, owned by Messrs. Dale and Kerr, and Olson and Phelan. This property contains, high silver, values- running from 60 to 200 ounces in silver and a few dollars in gold. The .values occur in an 18-inch paystreak on the footwall of a pophyry dyke 60 feet wide and all through the dyke values of from SI to S3.50 in gold have been received. On Carmi hill several properties have been more or less developed. Kit Hudson has a claim in which he uncovered a 6-foot vein containing gold and copper values, while Robertson and others have exposed good showings. .Three-miles above Carmi is China creek. On this creek are the Butte & Helena, developed by K. Roberts. The; ore here is of a similar character to that at the Knob Hill big bodies of low grade gold and copper. Geo. R. Naden, Sydney M. Johnsoa arid. otl. r Greenwood parties have- claims o'n~th is creek. Brameltt and partner are developing a claim on the south sideof China creek. Through draw at the foot of Great Hopes tain easy access can be secure J to Wa_ lace lake and the headwaters of Beave . creek where there are many promising- claims. Further up the river is Arling- , ton camp where the late E. A. Bielea- | berg was interested. Then in th* _ vicinity ia Hall's camp. On the mountain back of Rendell are the Washington.& Idaho group, owned by R. E. I*. Brown and associates, the Sally, owned by Robert Wood, the Bell- Bounty, Wallace, and other promising "claims. In fact there is a large mineral area from Beaver creek up to Arlington camp. TJp the small tributary streams jj.nd__along Beaver creejk itself that Boun- A- JC. gives promise of rivalling the dary. The ledges are not so large but the values aie higher. It is yet too early to speak with certainty regarding this district, but indications point to one of the most important mining district in the province. CITIES OF THE WEST FORK. Of course a district of great "promise must have towns. West Fork is no exception. It has embryonic cities and some which have passed that stage. The townsite man has to cope with the district disadvantage that the valley from Rock creek up is one almost perfect townsite. Consquently besides the natural resources of the district it wants energy, push, brains, money and advantageous location to build up a city. Carmi City, owned by Messrs. Kerr & Dale contains 640 acres, i 320 of which has been subdivided and several lots sold. Having the Carmi, ; Butcher Boy and other important properties right at its door and still others in the immediate vicinity, the enterprising owners can truthfully advertise Carmi as the- dinner-bucket and pay roll town. Carmi City has been fairly started. A. C. Dale & Sons, brother and nephews of J. C. Dale, recently arrived from Carmi, III., and established a saw mill which has already cut several thousand feet of lumber. This __ is being utilized in bnilding stores^ hotels, and residences.

Connection With Scotland���The Orders of Saint Andrew. The .following paper was read by W. W. Howe, vice president of St. Andrew's society at its last regular meeting: In preparing this short paper on the life of St. Andrew, I have experienced considerable difficulty, chiefly through the meagreness of the details of his career. We can, however, ���conveniently divide the subject into three parts. 1. The actual known facts of St. Andrew'slife and death as related in the New Testament and other contemporaneous works. 2. The connection of St. Andrew with Scotland. 3. The orders of St. Andrew. The name Andrew is Greek, St. Andrew was a Bethsaida. defined as Bethsaida of Galilee: He was a brother of Simon Peter and lived in the same house with him at Capernaum, like his brother too, he was a fisherman. He was a disciple of John the Baptist, and was the first to follow Christ. Again, when the same followers were called to a closer allegiance, he, with Peter, received the first summons. In all the lists of the disciples his name follows St. Peter's, or is only separated from it by those of St. James and St. John; but, .in spite of this precedence, St. Andrew like the majority of his colleagues, falls into the background after the crucifixion of Christ, for, in thc Acts of the Apostles, he is never mentioned after the list in the first chapter. The evidence as to his later history too is scanty and conflicting, one authority stating that Scythia was the scene of his labours. On the other hand, according to Jerome, his work was confined to Achaia right up to the time of his death. Then, again in the early times of the ^Christian church, a spurious supplement to the Acts of the Apostles was circulated among certain sects under "'-the title of '"The Acts of. Andrew." "This history is said to have been written in Hebrew by Abdias, Bishop of 3abylon, a contemporary of the apos- les, and translated into Latin by Julius Af ricanus. According to this work, it is related of St. Andrew that he - spent a portion of his life in Russia, in which country-even to the present day-he is held in great veneration as the apostle who first preached Christ- _____ janitxjnL_that., country. The^ legends related in "The Acts of Andrew" cofstantly turn upon the subject of adultery and the relations of married persons. Such teaching we find directly connected with the causes leading to his death. Of the actual martyrdom of St. Andrew, and indeed of the time and place of his martyrdom, accounts do not vary; nor are the accounts of the causes leading up to it much at variance. According to the work previously referred to, his martyrdom is said to have been impart occasioned by his supposed interference between Aegeas, the Roman governor of Patrae and his wife Maximilla. The usual and accepted account of the death of St. Andrew, is for endeavouring to convert Aegeas, the Roman governor at Patrae, he was ordered to be scourged and crucified, and that his death might be more lingering, he was fattened to the cross with cords instead of nails. He exhorted the crowds, who gathered round the scene of his execution, to persevere iri Christianity. He hung on the cross for two days, dytng on Nov. 30���what year, is not known exactly but it is generally accepted as being 62 or 70 A. D. The instrument of his martyr- ��� *dom is always said to have been across decussato���i. e. two pieces of timber crossing in the middle in the form of an X��� hence St. Andrew's cross. His body was buried at Patrae in Greece, but afterwards removed to Con- stantinople, where it is supposed it still lies, in the great church, built bj- the Christian Emperor Constantine. There gentlemen, you have all the known facts relating to the life and death of St. Andrew, apostle, saint, martyr and patron saint of Scotland. Doubtless some of my hearers will be disappointed that so little is actu**lly known of the patron saint of our country; for there is much myth and romance related of some patron saints. I heard a sketch of the life of St. Andrew given before a gathering of a certain Caledonian Society, in which the patron saint was accredited with having actually visited Scotland and preached the gnspel there, being also the first to teach Christianity in the country. This appears to be absolutely impossible, and probably is a case of the wish being father to the thought: That St. Andrew visited Russia and preached there is polsible-quite possible, buc that he ever saw Scotland seems impossible. Nor does there seem to have been any of the early missionaries from Iona, chief among whoiri were St. Patrick and St. Colum- ba, named Andrew. We may therefore safelj* conclude that the real apostle, St. Andrew never visited Scotland at all, and if any divine named Andrew did visit Scotland and preach there, he must of been a missionary of a period subsequent to the time pf St. Andrew, and therefore we must look elsewhere for facts to connect St. Andrew with Scotland as the patron saint of the country. The link connecting St. Andrew with Scotland is, according to history��� which at the same time we must always remember is not too reliable during this early period���the result of a vow made by Achius King of Scots and Hungus King of Picts. These two kings, at the head of their armies, were about to .be attacked by Athelstan King of England, who had an enormous, and supposed invincible army north, to finally crush the troublesome Picts and Scots. On the evening before the battle-so* the story runs-a St. Andrew's cross appeared in the sky, which both Achaius and Hungus saw, or thought they saw. They considered this a good omen and a possible sign of victory, and promptly made a vow, if the supposed prophesy were fulfilled, according to their inter- petation of it viz : by their gaining the victory next day, that they would bear the St. Andrew's cross on their ensigns and banners. Needless to say, in this, as in all similar traditions* the omen turned out alright, the prophecy was fulfilled and Athelstam with his army was completely routed and driven south across the border. This happebed somewhere about 930 A. D. Some years prior to this incident-i. e. late in the 9th or early iri trie 10th century, St. Regulus or Rule, is said to have taken refuge in Mucros, subsequently called Kilrymout and afterwards St. Andrews, bringing with him some of the bones of the martyred St. Andrew, which being enshrined there there continued to be an object oE pilgrimage for several centuries. A cave on the sea shore still bears the name of St. Rule. He seems to have founded a monastry there of which the Scottish King Constantine, having resigned his crown/became abbot about the year 940 A. D. Now this monastry being dedicated to St. Andrew, and having already become famous as an object of pilgrimage, and St. Andrew having already��� become- the_-metropoliS-_of_..the. church in Scotland, it would naturally follow, that the name of 3t. Andrew would be more familiar to the people of the period, than any other saint. Consequently the aid of St. Andrew would be invoked by prayerful people in times of distress or danger, and gradually and almost inperceptibly, out of sheer force of habit, it would become the custom of the Scots to recog- n:se St. Andrew as their patron saint. Their children, too, would be certain to have these beliefs firmly instilled into them, for we all know how strong that faculty for receiving and handing down tradition is, and always has been in the Scottish character. It is very likely, therefore, that in these incidents���the carrying of the bones of St. Andrew to Scotland by St. Regulus, ollowed by the foundation of the monastry of St. Andrew and the vision of Achaius and Hungus���we have the real reason of the adoption of St. Andrew as the patron saint of Scotland, for, possibly even very probably both Achaius and Hungus knew of the bones of St. Andrew enshrined at the town of that name, and this knowledge possibly helped them to imagine they saw a St. Andrew's cross in the sky , the evening before the battle in which they defeated Athelstan King of England. We ma)* therefore safely conclude that it is on accaunt of the veneration in which the memory of St. Andrew was held for centuries after his death, and which found expression in the carrying of his bones to Scotland by St. Regulus; and uot through any act of St. Andrew that he was recognised as the patron saint of Scotland. The orders of St- Andrew are two, the Scottish aud the Russian. Taking the Scottish order first, we find it is an ancient order of knighthood known as the order of St. Andrew or the Thistle. The order is said to have been in exis tence in the reign of James V of Scotland, and after a period of abeyence to have been revived by James VII of Scotland and II of England in the year 1687. It is perhaps more correct however, to accept the institution of the order as May 29, 1687. Statutes were issued and eight knights nominated by James II of Great Britain, but the patent for the order never passed the Great Seal. After falling entirely into abeyance during the reign of William and Mary, the order was revived by Queen Anne Dec. 31. 1703. The star of the order is worn on the left side. It consists of a St. Andrew's cross of silver embroidery, With rays emanating from between the points of the cross, in the centre of which is a thistle of gold and green upon a field of green, surrounded by a circle of green bearing the motto of the order in golden characters. The badge or jewel is worn pendent to the collar, or to b dark green ribbon over the left shoulder, and tied under the arm. It consists of the figure of St. Andrew with the cross enamelled, and chased on rays of gold; the cross and feet resting upon a ground of enamelled green. The collar is of thistles, intermingled with sprigs of rue. By- a statute passed in May 1827, the order is to consist of the sovereign and 16 knights. The letters K. T. are placed after the names of knights of, the order. The motto is "Nemo me impune lacesset." The Russian order of St. Andrew is the highest in the empire and was founded by Peter the Great ln 1698. It It is confined to members of the Imperial Family, princes, generals-in- chief, and others of like rank. The badge of the order shows on the obverse a St. Andrew's cross, enamelled in in blue, bearing a figure of the saint, surmounted by a crown, and in the four corners of the cross the letters S. A. P. R., Sanctus Andreas Patronus Russiae. On the reverse is a spread eagle, with the words . in Russian. For religion aud loyalty and the name of the saint. The collar consists of a St. Andrew's cross alternating with imperial crowns. And now in reviving this subject we find, a humble modest apostle, saint and martyr, of whose actual history very little is known, "yet whose teaching and life, left such impression upon the people of his time, that his memory has been held sacred, and. his name revered,; by christians generally for over 1800 years. Leaving out the Russian veneration of St. Andrew, which prqbably, arises through his being, rightly or wrongly and possibly rightly credited with being the first to preach Christianity in that country, we as Scotsmen, claim him as the patron saint of our native country. Can we not therefore find some traits in the character of St. Andrew, akin to the Celtic type ? I think we can. We have very little record to work upon, yet upon the. cause of his martyrdom, all writers are practically agreed. We find that St. Andrew had determination sufficient, at least, to carry out the work committed to his chargeyherhad"coufa7ge,~fb^ afraid to preach to Ageas the Roman governor of Patrae, when duty ' called him to do so; he had the courage of his convictions, and aired them fearlessly', for we find that he was not afraid to tell even the Roman governor that he was wrong, although he must of known it meant certain death to do so. Now, take the average typical Scot and you find predominant in his character���determination���courage, devotion to duty, with a dogged, persistent, wont-be-beaten sort of nature tacked on to to these already mentioned qualities. Here we have the chief cause of the success of Scotsmen. All the world over, they have been conspicuous in fighting their coumtry's battles, they have, been the most aggressive, persistent and determined pioneers of civilisation; the greatest missionary and explorer the world ever knew was a Scotsman. Scotsmen have through all time filled high and honourable positions in the empire's service; and have been in the lead in the progress of the world. What can we attribute this success to, other than these traits of character, which are found iri a greater or less degree in every Scotsman, and which we find have been handed down to us throngh the example of the patron saint of our country. Let us hope the Scottish character will ever contain these qualities, and then we will always be able to make light of the merest suggestion of the decline of the nation. STRAYED.

There was a large attendance at the public meeting in the city hall on Tuesday night called to discuss the railway situation. Mayor Jakes presided and Duncan Ross was appointed secretary. It was decided that as the meeting was a thoroughly representative one, resolutions be passed instead of securing signatures to petitions. J. R. Brown moved and W. E. McPherson seconded the following resolution which was carried after a brief discussion: Whereas, It is essential to the interests of the interiorof British Columbia and in particular to that portion of the interior known as the Boundary district that the Coast-Kootenay railway should be constructed with the least possible delay. And whereas, The present government of British Columbia has intimated that it will not build nor operate the said projected Coast-Kootenay railway as a government road. . 0 Therefore be it Resolved, That this meeting of the citizens of Greenwood emphatically declares that it is essential in the interests of Greenwood and the surrounding district that the said railway should be constructed and operated by "a company which is and which will be independent of the Canadian Pacific Railway company. G. R. Naden moved'and Duncan Mcintosh seconded the following which Was carried unanimously: Whereas, There are several applications before the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia for railway charters from the Kootenay to the coast. And whereas, It would take some considerable time to build such a line; And whereas, The Vernon and Midway railway could be built at once through a new and vast mineral region, as well as the great Okanagan agricultural valley, thereby giving an immediate all Canadian Kootenay Coast connection; Be it therefore resolved that this meeting urge upon the Government the necessity of granting this charter, and recommending that sufficient aid be also, gran ted to insure immediate construction; And be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the members of the Government, and the press. The meeting then adjourned. THE CITY COUNCIL. L Business Transacted at its Last Regular Meeting.; Mayor Jakes presided at the regular meeting of the council on Monday evening and Aid. Naden, Caulfield, Sullivan, Sutherland and Ross were present. Max Berger, representing the K. .of P., interviewed the council relative to a plot in the cemetery for that order. It. wasT decide~d"Td"give the" Knights one-half acre for cemetery purposes, provided they fenced and plotted the same under the direction of the city engineer. J. Kirkup, govern- mnent agent, Rossland, in response to a telegram from the mayor, regarding the case of a non-resident indigent sick, replied that the "government will reimburse city provided person is not dominciled within the municipality. " The particular case to which the correspondence over the wire referred to was Jno, Allen who came to the city from one of lhe camps dangerously ill. Having neither money nor friends, the tK-grd of health sent him to the Greenwood hospital. As there have been several similar cases in which the government successfully repudiated its responsibility. Mr. Kirkup's telegram was referred to the board of health with instructions to prepare a statement to be presented to the government so that a definite understanding might be arrived at. Almacher & Wilson, merchant tailors, asked for a crossing opposite their place of business. Petitions were presented asking for a sidewalk on south side of Gold street and another asking for grade on Silver, and Mamont streets- These matters were referred to the street committee. The revenue, health and Sunday observance amendment by-laws were read a third time. The tramway agreement by-law was read a first anil second time and the council adjourned. NELSON RESOLUTIONS. who have all their property interests in the mining" districts of Southeastern British Columbia, is wholly dependent on the mining and smelting,,industries in that section;'Therefore, be is resolved: First, that in our opinion the Hon. A. G. Blair, minister of railways and canals, should have the unanimous support of the members of parliament from British Columbia in the effort he is making to insure the growing smelting industry of Kootenay and Yale an adequate supply of coal and coke from the Crow's Nest mines, the profitable working of which was rendered possible by the completion of the Crow's Nest Pass railway, the greater part of the cost of which was borne by the Dominion government* Second, that the member for Nelson riding in the provincial legislature is voicing public opinion in supporting Hon. D. M. Eberts, attorney-general, who has' given notice that the Dunsmuir government will incorporate provisions in the Crow's Nest Pass Southern railway bill that will prevent disci imination in favor of Montana smelters as against smelters in British Columbia. Be it further resolved, that the building of what is common ly known as the Coast to Kootenay railway should be left to private enterprise, as it-is not of such importance as to warrant the pts- vince in aiding its construction by a cash subsidy; but, instead, substantia aid should be given to insure the immediate construction of a railway, that would give the f armersof the Okanagan Lake country a direct outlet to the mining camps in Southern Yale and Southern Kootenay, which wonld place them in a position to complete with the farmers of the Colville and other farminS districts in Washington. The passage of these resolutions shows how easily a designing politician 'can jumble' up the good and the bad in order to attain his objects. Mr. Huston was out to get an expression of public opinion in Nelson favorable to the C. P. R. and combined two or three different matters in order to cater to everybody. Mr. Taylor wished to have . the subject matters treated separately, but this Mr. Huston opposed and as he was running the meeting the resolutions passed as introduced. 9 . \- �����������' I'-XF. J.

He is evidently attempting- to do the same now. If he succeeds he has done much to advance the city's interests. If he fails, the effort was worth .the making and he should be encouraged, not finedfor his efforts. Nothing can be accomplished without an effort, nor without taking some ch.inces. The citizens of Greenwood should have more confidence in each other and should encourage everything that tends to promote Greenwood's interests. Now that public meetings appear to De popular in connection with railway projects, one should be held to discuss a project that will directly benefit Greenwood more than any of the mooted railway schemes. _L,et us pull eetether and work together for the advancements of the city's interests and let us assume that those who show some enterprise that are acting honestly until proved otherwise, A Ratepayer.

The public meeting on Tuesday evening affain demonstrated that the people of Greenwood believe in railway competition, also in the development of the West Fork country by the eaaly construction of the Midway and Vernon road. Public opinion throughout the province appears to be a unit in favor of the construction of the Coast- Kootenay railway by an independent company. The people are also realizing thc importance o E the Midway and Vernon road from a financial standpoint- Governments do not always heed public opinion but with reference to those two projects, it is so pronounced that it would mean political suicide for the government to disregard it. Railway Situation. It would be well if tHe Dunsmuir administration would face this question frankly and honestly, and let us know what we are to expect from it. It lies in the power at the present time un- doubtally to deny the people what they ask, and what they are entitled to obtain, but they may be assured that if they go contrary to the wishes of the country on this matter they will be turned out of office on the first occasion the people have of awarding them their deserts.���Rossland Miner. Reporting Smallpox. The man who suspects that he or his family may be afflicted by a contagious disease and does not promptly investigate and take the necessary measures to protect others, even at the cost of serious discomfort to himself, is guilty of taking the lives of others. It is not a pleasant thought, but it is the truth. The best protection for one's self or one's neighbors so long as smallpox continues to exist in the northwest is that old remedy, prompt and thorough vaccinatton.���Spokane Coronicle.

McLagan, managing editor of the Vancouver World, will be regretted in this province and iu many parts of Canada. As managing editor of the World he did much to promote the interests of this province and while he made many political enemies because of the strong views he expressed, all who knew him will pay tribute to his many noble qualities. Opponents Tribute, In politics and public affairs generally Mr. McLagan throughout his life took the greatest interest and he was always ready to bear his part in the discussion of any question of current importance. He could lucidly expond his views and his opponents sometimes charged to obstinacy what was probably only the Scotch sturdiness in his nature battling for what he held to be the right view of the matter under consideration. Like all men of strong opinions and who are not afraid to ex- press,the.m,_.Mi\ McLagair had enemies as well as staunch friends but, now that he has ������ passed away, we think there will be none but will have kindly thoughts of him and will long remember the cheery countanence and hearty tones of one so familiarly and affectionately known to all as "Mac." ���News Advertiser.

To THR Editor.���I am surprised at the lack of public interest lhat is be- itiff taken the tramway agreement now being considered by the council. The scheme is one of so much importance to the city that it would be a fatal mistake to kill it by too much caution on the part of the city fathers. In all industries associated with mining there is always an element of chance which if not taken will successfully prevent the carrying into effect of a single project. The great objection appears to be taken not to the bonus wanted but to the possibility of the S5,000 deposited by the Tramway company being lost to the city. There is not a business man in the city but which would be benefitted to that extent by the early construction of the tramway. The scheme, if carried into effect, means much for Greenwood.

ROCK CREEK PLACER. Business Transacted at Its Regular Meetine. The regular monthly meeting of the Greenwood Board of Trade was held on Weduesday last with President Naden in the chair. A communication was read from W. Armstrong, Spokane, urging upon them to cooperate with him iu securing a Boundary exhibit of n*it_e- rals at the Buffala exposition. \V. T. Smith was appointed a committee of one to interview mine owners for the purpose of securing a representative exhibit. An anonymous correspondent suggested to the Board the desirability of securing a down town Dominion Expsess office and the stocking of Boundary Creek with fish. ,The secretary was instructed to write the Dominion Express Company and the department of Marine and Fisheries in reference to these matters. �� R.,B. Kerr, Phoenix, addressed the board on the absence of proper court facilities in this district. He pointed out that every other place in the province had sittings of th<_ court of assize save the towns in the Boundary. A committee consisting of H. C. Shaw, A. M. Whiteside, J. R. Brown and Duncan Ross were appointed to prepare a statement for the attorney- general pointing out the necessity for a court of assize in the Boundary. J. W. Grier and McL.eod & Brown were elected members of the board.. L,. M. Rice, superintendent of construction for the Greenwood���Phoenix Tramway Company, is expected back from Seattle on the 20th inst. More Ground Staked During Last - Week. H. E. Price and Percy Godenrath, visited the Rock Creek -placers on Sunday last. Mr. Godenrath reports that during the last few days Rock creek and its tributary streams have once more become the Mecca for placer gold hunters and there has been a rush to stake claims. The excitement is principally due to the operations of a local company that has acquired leases and is working below the historic White's bar, on this creek. Within two weeks this company will commence '-booming" and a profitable cleanup is anticipated. As a consequence placer land along the adjacent creeks is being rapidly staked. This is especially the case along Baker creek and the south fork of Rock creek, where pay dirt is found. Alex Bloomfield, Bart Ingerham and others have acquired leases on Baker creek and H. D. Sykes, J. G. Billings, C. H. Fair and J. Sprout have recorded on the South Fork. Since their discovery in the early 60s the Rock creek placer diggings, under the most primitive methods,- are reported to have yielded over $250,000 in gold. ":" Miners are apparently well satisfied that if bedrock can. be reached much more of the yellow metal will be discovered. During the summer. extensive operations by "booming" creeks will be prosecuted along the company's ground and on Baker creek. *��###��*.#��**����**�� ��.��.$#<������.*����. 9 �� �� 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 fits 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 ��r 9 * * * * 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 You will save money by buying your groceries from us.

The feat of the little general from Kansas, Fred Funston, explorer, journalist, Cuban insurrecto and volunteer soldier in the Spanish war, will as Gov.

STYLES. ond Z, m. Gully & e@. ^wmyyyrt' ;tL THB ���GREENWOOD' WEfEKLY TIMES. April 18; 190T- ROBERT JAFFRAY. Well Known Capitalists Visit Greenwood. AND THE DISTRICT. He Discusses the Railway Situation and States the Effect an Open-Door Railway Policy Will Have Upon the Development of This Province. Robert Jaffray of Toronto, chief promoter of the Crow's Nest Southern railway; president of the Crows Nest Coal Co.; president of the Can- boo-McKinnay Mining and Milling Co.; a shareholder in the Dominion Copper Co., and heavily interested iu the mines of Republic camp was a visitor in the city the end of last week. Mr. Jaffray looked hale and hearty notwithstanding- the worries he had undergone at Victoria and the hard trips he had been making through the district by wagon roads that at this particular season are none of the best. He was seen by a Times reprrsentative at the Hotel Armstrong and chatted entertainingly about railroad charters, mines, and the districts through which he had been travelling. As he had come directly fron Camp McKinney the subject of the famous Cariboo mine was first taken up. He confirmed recent reports that the winze sunk from the fourth level in the east, era end of the workings was in exceptionally rich one. "it proved the' vein down to a depth of 460 feet, the greatest depth in the mine. For thepresent the capacity of thc mill���20 stamps��� jwill not be increased. It is probable however^that a new working shaft will be sunk on the west end of the property and by the time this is completed and the old levels extended west to connect with it the mine will be in shape to increase the stamp capacity. Speaking of his interests in the Dominion Copper Company, operating the Brooklyn���Stemwinder group in Hhoenix Camp, Mr. Jaffray expressed himself as satisfied that the company's holdings there give great promise for the future. Asked where the proposed smelter was to be located, he turned to \V- T. Smith who was standing near him and passed the question up to him, Smith however failed to respond with anything authorative simply stating that James Breen was believed to be in Toronto settling with the directors of the company this question. Conversation then drifted to Republic Camp, and it was learned that recent development at depth in the Republic Mine was causing tbe directors "somethought asto future treatment of. the ore. While on the upper levels the ore was susceptible for treatment at the company's mill, the character changed materially as depth is gained ���silver playing a more conspicous part in the ore contents. The mill can only save SO per cent of the values of the white metal and consequently smelter treatment would be more adaptable to the ore. However as there is considerable ore yet to be mined in the upper levels the mill is assured of a steady run for quite a period. The Quilp mine.in which Mr. Jaffray is also interested has under the new management turned out remarkably well. On the 200-foot level an ore body 12 feet wide was being raised upon and the values averaged over $25 per ton. The mine is opened to a depth of 530 feet on the vein. "I want to thank the people of the Boundary for the manner in which they have spoken on the railway policy for the province��� I mean the "open door" policy as it is turmed," said Mr. Jaffray in conclusion. "If the-government heed the wishes of the people the Crow's Nest Southern railway charter will be granted us. Of course there is opposition to its being granted, and that opposition comes not from the people who are vitaly interested but from the Canadian Pacific railway, Should the charter be granted it means no subsidy from the province but a large increase .in its revenues. It means a cheapening of coke to the smelters and the employment of hundreds of men in the upbuilding of an industry that will support three towns. Mr. Hyamsof Butte,'the manager of ' the Boston. & Montana Consolidated Copper & Silver Mining Company stands ready, the moment the charter ,. is.granted, to build a silver-lead smelt- ; er at the coal fields. His offer was I confirmed by telegram which has as you know already been published. Such a smelter would add an impetus to the silver-lead miners as it-would' be in a position to treat the ores ;at a lesser rate than what is now being- charged," he concluded. ; While in the city Mr. Jaffray visited smelter. He left here on Saturday for Fernie and goes from the coal fields direct to Toronto. WEST FORK DISTRICT out nued from First Pag-c.J livery stable while W. W. Woods has his building for a stationery and notion store already erected. There is also a shingle mill running and a brewery and bottling works underway. The Carmi, Butcher Boy and other contiguous properties cannot be .developed without men. They naturally congregate at one central point in order that they may enjoy the advantages of schools, stores, hotels, newspaper offices and all the other concomitants of city life. That central, point is Carmi City. With the development of the mines Carmi will flourish. But the West Fork will not be a district wtth one town. There should be no jealous rivalry between those that grow up. They all will be the product of certain conditions. With the exploitation of the mineral, agricultural, and timber wealth of the country there will be a commercial city on the West Fork. A strategic point for the upbuilding of such a city is where Beaver creek empties into the West Fork. Here is where Rendell is situated. The townsite is a good one, level country with sufficient slope towards the river to furnish good drainage. The townsite has been surveyed and lots are now on the market. Fisher's saw mill has been established here for some time and has already cut considerable, lumber. Thc townsite is owned by Robert Wood, R. Smailes and others. They intend opening up a general store, grading the streets carrying out other improvements. M. J. Phelan, formerly of Greenwood, has a store here and is agent for Fisher's sawmill. ������ As has already been stated the whole West Fork valley is almost one continuous townsite so that no can have a cinch on the business, but from its location, Rendell can be made the Greenwood of the West Fork. Two miles further up is Beaverton. The townsite is again perfect. It has two hotels, one a really good one run by D. W. Smith, formerly of Greenwood, and two stores. The stores are being moved to Carmi, and as two towns cannot live in such close proximity, rumor has it that the hotel men will move to Rendell. At West Bridge Alf Cameron runs a comfortable hotel and G. O. Guise a general store. Across the river M. D. McLeod has an hotel. THE WAGON ROAD. A wealth of information on how to build "the Ieast~aniouht~bf "wagotr'road for the largest amount of public money can easily be secured in the West Fork country. From Rock Creek to Carmi, the interrupted portions of the government wagon road, the magnificent rock cuts, wide enough for a standard gauge railway, the sixty foot right-of- way cut the full width even to the fraction of an inch is an eloquent tribute to departmental red tape and engineering stupidity. C. A. E. Shaw has been criticized and blamed for the blunders on the West Fork but the blame should go elsewhere. There is ^.n officer in this province who goes by the high sounding title of public works engineer who learned red tape in Dominion government employ and has been applying his knowledge to the detriment of the province. Money has been squandered on useless rights-of-way and expensive bridges, consequently appropriations run out before roads are completed. West Fork is not an isolated case. An appropriation was made for a road to the Mount Baker Mines. The money went in clearing a 60 foot right of way notwithslanding the strong protests of practical road men aud the people most directly interested. Shaw placed the road in the best place, the grade given is a good one, but starting in to build it on on Gamble's extravagant specifications, assured by the latter gentleman that plenty of funds would be forthcoming, he soon got orders from the government that the appropriation was exhausted and the wore was discontinued. For a few thousand dollars the Carmi people built more wagon road that is being used today than the government built for nearly 520,000. The government's is a better road but of what value is it when it ends in a rock bluff that cannot be removed without additional money. The blunders of last year are past and something should be done in the immediate future. The tempo rary bridges built over the West Fork will be carried away by high water leaving the district without any means of communication. The government should act at once. A few thousand dollars expended by a practical man will not build Howe truss bridges or make a wagon road on railway grade, but it will complete the present wagon road along lines tnat will meet the requirements of the district until the railway is completed. WEST FORK RAILWAY. One of the most important, if not the most' important railway project at present before parliament, is the Mid- way-Vernon railway. It is a development road. It will open a promising mining district and also open a market for the farmers of the Okanagan. In addition to this it is a money making scheme from a provincial standpoint. The guaranteeing of interest on the cost of construction of this road will be the means whereby increased traffic is assured the Shuswap & Okanagan railway, thus relieving the province from the payment of the guaranteed interest on the S. & O. This increased irafflc will be more than local. Under the most favorable conditions it will be at least three years before the Coast-Kootenay road is completed. With the Midway and Vernon road completed, all the coast traffic from Kootenay and Boundary would be made via Sicamous, instead of Revelstoke. The railway does not interfere with any of the railway, projects. It is in the interest of the district and of the province and should receive every encouragement from the government. :: DEVELOPMENT OF THE WE1ST FORK. The greatness of the province will materially depend upon the enterprise and wisdom of the people. It will never be great if one city struggles' to build up itself and tear down another. Its people must realize that they are a unitand that the development ot one place helps another. The West Fork is a district of great possibilities. Give it half a chance and it will do its share in making this country rich and poupulous. Its development means much for Greenwood, increasing our trade and enlarging-.our field for operations. We should back it up in all its undertakings from a* selfish if-not a higer standpoint. First, give it a wagon road and next, a railway and it will abundantly reward the province for every dollar expended. ���FOR��� PAINTING PAPERING DECORATING AND SIGN iEST MATERIALS EST WORK ENTIRE SATISFACTION WALL PAPERS...

It is nearly two years ago since, at "the very outbreak of the Boer war, two very remarkable letters appeared in the London Times over the signature, ���'P. S." They were written by a Boer then living in South Africa, and for vindictiveness and' almost savage hatred of Britain, coupled with a tor- .rent of abuse and satire which upheld .in a prophecy of the certain rout of the . British army before the soldiers of the Transvaal, would be hard to beat. Once more "P. S." has spoken. We "print below his third letter, it is an un- ��� "qualified recantation and is worded in ��� the same forcible style as the others: , Sir:���Since you published my letter -on October last a very great .change - has taken place in the condition of -affairs, which it would be madness to ���: ignore. I failed not to tell you in my ������-.former letters the plain and- absolute ��� truth about your Government and your -people, your vices, your crimes, and ..your imbecilities, which were as great -as those which which led to the destruction of the people in the Cities of the Plain. Even as those cities would .have been saved if SO, or even ten, righteous men had been found in them, -so now it is evident that some righteous men have been found amongst the liii-glish, arid by them your Empire has been saved from destruction. It is -now my last and most painful duty to "tell the bitter, but wholesome, truth to ~my own people and to those fatal ::f riends who have helped us to our pre- -sent ruin, 1. My visit to the continent has convinced me that there is no possibility ���of aid being given by any foreign /power to my people, and that none will ^venture to propose arbitration. It is -childish for us to expect arbitration ���when, if our position were like yours, *we should reject it even if proposed by ��11 the powers on earth���and it would ���prove us to be' cowards to ask for it Tao��� under :.our present hopeless con- ���-ditions. 2. The events which we expected to ���-arise in India, China, and Egypt have not occured, the promised insurrection iin Ireland did not take place, and we .hare not the slightest reason to hope ;:now that any international questions '-will arise to help the Afrikander cause. "We must not be deceived any longer by the false sympathy expressed for us tby various parties in foreign states; that sympathy is merely a subterfuge ~to obtain, some political interest* of ���-opposing parties, and we are but- the ��� tools which our false friends use to .^attain their ends. 3. That so large a number of liberal .members of parliament have recently ��� declared their opposition to our independence and have asserted their .loyalty to the British Empire has been -a. most disagreeable surprise to us and -an absolutely fatal blow to all our .hopes. Finally, the speech of Lord ..Kimberley on the 14th inst. must con- ��� vince every sane man that further re- "^istanceon-our'part isuiot-only-useless "but perfectly criminal' madness. Had "that speech been. made nine months ��� 3Lgo and the intentions of the. liberal ..party made clear to us,. this unhappy --war might have been honourably con- ��� eluded long ago. 4.' To prepare the way for a perma- -nent settlement of Africa which shall i benefit our children and our children's ��� children, and to make our Afrikander ��� blood to take its due place in the future .. government of the world, it is neces- < sary for me to refer to a little of the ��� liistory of the last 70 years, and also 'to first principles, the true foundations -of empire. 5. Fifty years ago, when I was a -yonng man, there was a large number -of ���ntelligent African Dutch who respected the justice and power of Eng- :iand, although they loved .not the English any more than they loved the ���white men of other European States, -for most of whom they felt only scorn -and contempt. Your wars against the -Kaffirs had benefitted us, and we loyal ���and farseeing Afrikanders dreamed, "before Cecil Rhodes was born, of a .great Anglo-Dutch African Empire .stretching from Cape Agulhas to Tunis . and from Cape Verd to Guardafui un- ��� der one flag, the British, and having ��� one language, the English. That ���-dream was dispelled by your giving independence to the two states. Time ���passed. The wishes of the Cape Colonists were again and again disregard- ��� -ed; England would, not guarantee in- -, terest on loans for the development of *the colony; England would not annex South-West Africa; England would not "buy up the Portugese territory when . it might have been purchased for a ���song; England evacuated Abyssinia --after conquering it in a marvellous manner; England contemplated giving up her : West African possessions; England fumbled and faltered in As- hanti, in Zululand, in the Transvaal, and in Egypt and Zanzibar. Vast areas of Africa were allowed by the British to pass out of the heritage, the birthright, of the Afrikanders into the hands of the _*>rench, the Belgians, the Germans, and the Chartered Company, and. our dream of an Anglo-Dutch Empire with its hundreds of millions of united- white men collapsed, because of the mean, shifty, and baseless policy of a parcel of counting-house clerks, who, occupying the position of cabinet ministers in London, refused to listen to the colonists and to those Englishmen who knew Africa and its many peoples, and its vast wealth in minerals and other resources. Those penny wise and thousand-pound foolish windbags of the lords and commons were utterly incapable of understanding the first principles of true statesmanship, and were anxious only to slink away from the responsibilities of empire so that they might have time to bemuse and bemuddle a silly and. besotted electorate. 6. Our dream of a British African Empire being ended, we united our fate with that of our Boer relatives with the view of founding an exclusiv- ly Dutch Empire in Africa. To that end it was necessary for us to possess all the East African territory of the Portugese. Those territories were protected by the treaties you English had made with Portugal, and a war against Portugal would have produced war against you, otherwise we would have swept those monkey-men out of Africa years ago, and now we are sorry that we did not do so. . 7. Led on by men whom it is not necessary to mention, we determined to fight you for supremacy in South Africa. We have been accused of ig-. norance over and over again by your British bookworms, but none of you now can accuse of want of foresight or want of preparation for war, which we had made through long years of trouble, toil, and self-denial aud self- repression. We had every reason to be confident of success, and, as your best generals well know, we were within an ace of achieving it. Mr. Steyn and scores of others assured us of your complete military weakness, and all the world had' ample proof of the wavering, womanly weakness of the British national will, never stable for a single month. It was you who planted the seeds of war and have brought them to fruition by that miserable, cowardly, weakness which is more deadly than tyranny or injustice. But you have been saved from defeat. Mr. Kruger informed us that God had told him to declare against you. 'If He did tell the the late president that, it is certainly evident that God is not with us any longer and that it is obstinate rebellion against Him for ns to continue our resistance .until we ' be all destroyed root and branch. 8. In this dark hour of defeat and despair it is necessary to put forth the truth for a solid foundation forthe permanent settlemen Uof=therace.question, between the British and the Dutch wittout hypocrisy or maudlin superstition. If we Dutch had won in this game of war we would of claimed and taken every penny of the stakes. I know my people, and I want peace for my grandchildren, therefore I beg you to show no weakness or clemency or conciliation. You have won; then take the stakes as we should have done. Do not sow perpetual disputes, quarrels, and civil war.' South Africa is yours now by right of purchase, by occupation and colonization, by war and conquest, and by the will of God. We Dutch are not cowards to shrink from the consequences of defeat, we are prepared to take them. If we had won our terms to you would have been certainly not more easy than these :��� (a) Every British subject or other who did not surrender by a given date would be outlawed and all his property confiscated. (b) All persons who had been guilty of rebellion or assisting our enemies would have had all of their property consfiscated and would have been ex. pelled from South Africa, with the death penalty for return. (c) All other British people in South Africa, except those who had fought on our side and possessed certificates to that effect, would have been disfranchised for life. (d) The use of the British language in all cases would have been strictly forbidden under penalty of fine ore imprisonment. All foreign or alien newspapers would have been surpressed. We Dutch in Cape Colony and Natal had equality of rights and of language with you; that did not satisfy us, for so long as two languages are permitted to be used there can be no peace, no harmony, and no fusion for the people of South Africa. The stern action of the Russian government in Poland and Finland for the suppression of their native languages is dictated by wise statesmanship, true humanity, and a far-seeing regard forthe future welfare of those peoples. The Austrian Empire will probably be split up simply by the diversity of languages. 9. Peace and prosperity can come only by the fusion of the two races or by the extermimetion and exile of one of them. Let the irreconcilablcs exile themselves, and those who have.any wisdom or decency, morality or religion, submit themselves with calm fortitude and cheerful acquiescence to the fate that Providence has decreed. Our language is but a dialect of no use in the great world; the English is the ever-growing language which, if we adopt, will soon place our sons in the|seats of the mighty. The descendants of our brave commandants in this war may then in the future command the armies of Great Britau, one may hold the office now occupied by Lord Roberts, and another be governor- general of India. The universal loyalty shown by all your colonies should certainly be a good lesson to us Dutch, if we are not so blinded by Providence that we may be destroyed altogether. I join with P. Botha and the other sane men iu South Africa in calling on Mr. Kruger, C. Botha, and De Wet to stop this murderers' work, and to seize that double-tongued man Steyn and to give him his deserts. There are other Dutchmen and half-bred Englishmen in the Cape Colony who should be treated in the sanie manner as Styen. 10. All nations thought you English were dead, but, unfortunately for us, you were only dead drunk, drugged by the fatal folly of your disarmament craze and love of luxury, and the war has, as yet, only very partially aroused you. I cannot blind myself to the fact, however, that new life has been breathed into the dead bones in the valleys of Great Britain, and that your people are gaining strength and spirit every day. whilst our men are degenerating into murderons bandits and ruining our land, regardless of the fate of our women and children who are now depending upon the generosity of the British for their food and clothing and their very lives. This state of things must not continue unless we desire to prove to the world that we Dutch are worse than heathen sava- g'e3- l 11. I beg for no clemency, conciliation, or soft measures; they would certainly be fatal to us Dutch, for lhe loyal portion would be always tortured by the irreconcilables, and there would be perpetual strife in public and in family life. The settlement of Africa can be effected only by strict and rigid justice, administered with strength and courage unflinchingly. No more must we see colonials and others who worked for the unity and honour of the British Empire ignored, snubbed, or degraded while disloyalty and barefaced treachery or treason were rewarded or condoned. Justice, and righteousness must have strong arms or-theyiare_butiuseless_^na.mes._a^Mercy. and clemency are too often the names which cloak fear, cowardice, bribery, and corruption. With honest adminis tration South Africa will very speedily recover from the effects of this war, and a more prosperous and a happier future will come quickly for both Dutch and English than could ever have come if the war had not taken place and the states remained sepaer- ated. The native question will have to dealt with soon after the war is over and to do that effectively the Chartered Company must be done away with and its territories united with the great southern colonies. 12. The petty jingoes who write but do not fight can spare their sneers at me. I have sense enough to accept the logic of facts, whilst they, in their arrogance, required many disasters to convince them that we had been well prepared for war, whilst you were miserably weak and unprepared for a war in your own territories or anywhere else.

The executive met-this-morning--and talked over the matter. It is probable that the budget will be taken up before the railway ornatter. Sensational developments are looked for. as several members are out on strike, and the peculiar course followed by Joe Martin it- reference to the matter has antagonized a large portion of his following, who may read the riot act to him.

Title | The Greenwood Weekly Times |
Alternate Title | [The Boundary Creek Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-04-18 |
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. |
