THE CASCADE RECORD Published In the Interests of the Boundary and Christina Lake Mining Districts Vol. II. CASCADE, B. C, JANUARY 6, 1900. No. 9. THE VICTORIA STARTS UP 1 D. C. Beach and A. i. Stewart Contract to Run a 180-foot Tunnel. TWO SHIFTS WILL BE OPERATED The Victoria (told and Copper Mining Company Will Thoroughly Exploit Its English Point Mines, Near Cascade. Tuesday last, we can state on good authority, six men were Bent to the Victoria mine, one of the properties of the Victoria Gold and Copper Mining company at English Point, on Christina lake, to begin work for the winter. D. C. Beach and A. J. Stewart have contracted with the company to run a 100-foot tunnel into the Victoria ledge. This move is conclusive evidence that the owners of this English Point group of mines, which consists of four claims, the Victoria. Copper Mountain, Copper Wonder and Evening Star, mean business. The works are supplied with all necessary buildings for housing and boarding employes, provisions,etc., and it is confidently expected that the boring of this tunnel, along with other exploitation work contemplated, will bring to the light of day a dividend-paying deposit that will greatly enrich shareholders in the company, as well an establish the credit of other partially developed claims in Christina lake dis- t>ricts Other Mining Notes. The second payment of $25,000 has been made on the Snowwhoe bond. Upon good authority it is stated that the Sunset mine in Deadwood camp will be shipping ore in the spring. It is now waiting for machinery. A 6x8 hoist, capable of sinking 300 feet, and a No. 5 Cameron pump have been installed at the Kamloops, in Camp McKinney, to be operated by a 40-horse power. Two machine drills will be put in. The shaft is to be sunk to the 100- foot level where a station will be cut out, and then sinking and drifting will be continued. In the same camp the Waterloo is working two machines steadily in splendid ore. The drift on the first level in the direction of the Wiarton claim is in over 200 feet. R. A. Brown has received 120 pounds of ore taken from the bottom of the shaft of the Sunset on Copper mountain, in the Similkameen district, says the Grand Forks Miner. It has been on exhibition all week in the lobby of the Yale hotel and is perhaps the finest ore ever shown in Grand Forks. It came from a depth of 70 feet and much of it is solid copper glance or bornite. The whole lot will average close to 40 per cent copper. In some places there is a large per centage of chalco-pyrite or yellow copper. Mr. Brown says the ore appears to be in solid mass, there never having been such a thing as a wall in sight. He thinks it is hundreds of feet in width. If so Copper mountain will be another Butte, or better, as the outcrop covers about 40 acres. It is one of the most remarkable outcrops ever seen in any country. The Miner claims that for the year just ended, the mines of Rossland have sent out approximately 183,670 tons of ore, as igainst 116,- 000 tons in 1898, and 68,000 tons in 1897. The value of the ore sent out is put at $3,306,060 although taking the customs return into consideration, the value should be considerably higher, and it is safe to say that when the official figares in detail are obtained, the total will be found to exceed that given. It is further asserted that the monthly payroll of Rossland camp figures up to $132,768.65. A. G. Davis has begun work on the Morning Star and Park Fraction, of the Rambler group, located one mile north of Eholt. A 100- foot shaft will be sunk, and the lead crosscut in an easterly direction. Two shifts of three men each will be employed. The Mother Lode is shipping 100 tons of ore to the Trail smelter, according to the Greenwood correspondent of the NeUon Miner, The Golden Crown and Winnipeg are about to be listed among the shipping mines. Reaching Out. The Spokane Falls and British Columbia Telephone company has been absorbed hy the Columbia Telephone and Telegraph company, which owns a line on the international boundary line near the Red Mountain railway. It also owns a branch from Marcus to Republic, and from Bossburg to a point on the international boundary line south of Cascade City. The Columbia Telephone and Telegraph Company owns an exchange in Rossland and a line from there to the boundary line. In addition to this it owns a line which extends from Cascade City to Grand Forks, Greenwood and Midway and from thence to Camp McKinney, with lateral branches running hither and thither. The intention of the new purchasers, now that they have control on the American side, is to improve the facilities and to give the public a better showing than heretofore. With the new line just purchased the Columbia Telephone and Telegraph Company owns and operates over 500 miles of line, and the intention is announced of extending the line next summer on from Camp McKinney, the present terminus, to Fairview, Keremeos, Princeton and the Similkameen country. This will give them in the neighborhood of 1000 miles of wire. France's population including that of of her possessions^ 77,139,- 000. That of the British empire nearly reaches the enormous figure of 350,000,000. The possible war strength of France, in men, is said to be 4,000,- 000, while that of the British empire iB placed at about 1,000,000. The Boundary Creek Times, under the caption of ''Tupper's Tergiversation," jumps on that political patriarch with booth of its big Irogans, and in a review of his address in Greenwood, pronounces it a tissue of misrepresentations, and simply flays the octogenarian statesman alive. A lifetime in politics, it must be confessed, tends to enable one to gracefully strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Apparently for political purposes the rumor has been floated to the effect that the leading mine mana- agers in Nelson, Rossland and the Boundary mines were about to close down there works, thus forcing the eight-hour issue. It is supposed that such a report will not only intimidate the miners, but frighten the politicans as well, and thus result in the repeal of the eight-hour law. When war is on, military information is sought, and even that of a statistical character is not offensive, so we venture some comparative figures: In the Crimean war, with 1,460,000 troops, there were killed in battle 53,870; died of wounds, 66,000; died of disease, 492.200���total deaths, 612,070. In the American war of 1861-5, in the northern army, there took the field 2,336,000; killed in battle, 44,240; died of wounds, 34,006; from disease, 149,240���total, 227,486. In the Spanish-American war 274.717 troops took the field; killed in battle, 293; wounded, 1,578; died from disease, 2,619���total, 4,490. Grand total of deaths, 844,046. FRENCH WINS A BATTLE Colesburg in the Possession of British Forces. BOER REGIMENT GOES FROM IOWA Afrikanders Plotting to Seize Cape Town��� Homeguard Organized to Quell Dliloy. alty���French's Victory a Qreat Gain. General French has been operating with mobile forces during the last month from Naauwpoort to protect Methuen's line of communications by keeping the Free State force from Colesburg fully accupied. After threatening the enemy's communications with the Orange river and compelling the Dutch to retire from Rensberg, French decided upon a sudden stroke. He ordered the mounted force and artillary to advance rapidly on Sunday night, with his infantry in wagons behind them, and by daylight had succeeded in turning the enemy's position at Colesberg. The infantry and batteries made a feint attack on the front, while the light artillery were massed on the right flank. The Dutch camp was surprised by the unexpected night march, and the Free Staters did not try to defend their position, but retreated eastward, leaving Colesburg in possession of French's forces. This exploit brings the British troops within striking distance of Norvalsport and Boothas drift. Colesberg is an important border town, and if the town can be held and the bridge and drift be secured, two gates leading into the Free State will be under British guard in advance of the arrival of Roberts and the concentration of the 6th and 7th corps for the march upon Springfontein, the most important strategic point in the Orange republic. French's occupation of Colesberg is a distinct gain for the British cause. An entire regiment of soldiers is said to be en route from the Dutch colony in Sioux county in Iowa to join the Boers in the Transvaal. If seemingly well authenticated accounts are to be believed the organizers of the force are shipping the men out thiee or four at a time by different routes. The money was all raised in or near Orange City and Sioux Center. Drilling has been in progress in remote pasts of the county for some time. To quell disloyalty the Cape Colony English are organizing home- guard companies. Don't forget the Record Job Department when needing fine stationery. THE CASOADE RECORD January B, 19C0 Local and General. Messrs. Tom and Jerry were in town during the holidays. Insurance rates have been advanced one per cent or more in some cases, in Greenwood. 1). J. Matheson has been appointed postmaster at Phoenix, vice Thos. Roderick, resigned. At a turkey shoot in Gladstone, last Monday, Messrs. Munn, Nims and O'Donell won birds. T. H. Ingram, manager of the Boundary Flour and Feed company, of Greenwood and Columbia, was in town yesterday. England should adopt the old Southern general's method, who said his success was due to "gittin' thar fustist with the mostest men." The departure of some members of our local canine population has been hastened this week by poisoned meat, which has been placed by some dog-gone citizen. In the matter of weather, it may be said to have been soft the past week. It has alternately snowed and rained. But we hear that an eastern cold snap is headed this way. Gen. French is said to have been the first commissioner of the Northwest mounted police, having been appointed to that position in 1873. It is further claimed that he is betrothed to a lady now residing in Rossland. Rev. D. A. Stewart, of Phoenix, will occupy the pulpit of the Presbyterian church in Cascade tomorrow, having exchanged for the day with Rev. Jos. McCoy, who will preach in Rev. Stewart's church in Phoenix. Oscar Englund, who made a start two or three months ago for his old home across the water, but was recalled by the C. P. R. authorities and sent into the Similkameen to complete ceitain difficult surveys has again started for Norway. He was in Trail this week. Prince, G. K. Stacker's Ma tiff dog, made a reconuoitering trip this week, being absent a day or two. It is supposed he ventured too near the tiring line, and the Boers, mistaking him for John Bull's lion, took a shot at him, for Prince returned with a severe bullet wound iu his upper jaw. The Cascade school will be reopened next Monday in the old building. An item in another part of this paper states the new house will be occupied. The seats, however, have not yet arrived, though they were shipped from Victoria over a month ago, and have been expected to arrive every day for the past three weeks, and may, in fact, arrive to-day. It is probable that it will not "be neccessary to occupy the old building more than two or three days. Ladies Aid met with Miss Darrow Thursday of this week. A business meeting of the managers of the Presbyterian church wns held Thursday evening. Insurance Agent Stocker will be pleased to give all a new-year's present of n calendar for 1900; call at his office and get one. Stages are once more making regular trips between Bossburg and Cascade reaching Cascade at 10 a. m. and leaving onl arrival of the enst bound train about 3 p. m. Later it is said that Gen. French's victory at Colesburg is of no advantage to tbe British. The London Mail likens bis position to that of a person having a tiper-cat in a cage and no weapons with which to kill it. A protest against tbe passage hy parliament, of any net. which will allow the contamination of tbe waters of the Kettle river by sewers, garbage dumps, etc., has been extensively signed by citizens of Cascade and forwarded to Victoria. Mr. R. J. Cameron, owner of the Grizzly claim, which adjoins tbe John Bull and Buckingham, near Gladstone, we understand, bas laid in supplies for the winter, and will immediately begin the task of running a 100-foot tunnel. Little Cloid Reveler, tbe 7-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Reveler, arrived in Cascade yesterday, from Telluride, Col. He was accompanied as far as Gladstone by his grandmother. Mrs. H. C. Neu- meyer. Mr. Reveler went up to that place and met his little son. Messrs Keltnan and Ritchie were given a house warming in the shape of a surprise party by a few of their friends N w Year's night. A most enjoyable time ivns hurl and all left believing they had warmed the house sufficient to keep the frost out this winter at least. The young people of Mrs. D. Mc- Leod's class in the Presbyterian Sunday school were pleasantly entertained at, a "taffy" party given by their teacher at. her home on New Years. 'Tis said that tbe guests were quite "stuck up" over the affair but whether with honors, taffy or both, rumor sayeth not. The city elections in Nelson, as in many other places in the province, occur next Thursday, the 11th instant. We notice by tbe Miner that C. Morrison, one of Nelson's substantial merchants, is a candidate for Alderman. Mr. Morrison is a brother-in-law of our fellow townsman, Mr. John Simpson. E. N. Ouimette & Co., brokers, Ros��land, B. C, have placed on the market a block of stock in the Mystery Gold Mining and Milling Co., at a low price of five cents per share, the proceeds to be used in further developing the company's properties which have the reputation of being most promising claims.

A correspondent, add resting the editor of the Victoria Colonist, pulverizes that ferine in the following gloveless manner. The style may not he elegant but is emphatic, if not conducive : "To the Editor: I was not aware until I rend your article on the above that many of our citizens were distressed over the question, 'when does the nineteenth century end?' Permit me to call your attention to a fact that you apparently lo��e sight of : Jems Christ commenced his life on earth with a cipher (0) the same fin you and I commenced ours with ciphers (00). Anno Domini commenced with a cipher(O). There was a time in the history of you and I, Jeeus Christ and Anno Domini, when we were only one day obi; in the process of time we completed 365 days, and being then one year old we registered one (1); it therefore follows of necessity that upon our tenth birthday we were 10 years old, and upon our 100th birth day we would be 100 years old, a century, each cipher (0) denoting the completion of a tenth, each two ciphers (00) the completion of a century, each unit the completion of a year. Why, sir, according to your fantastical theory, if you carried it out to its logical conclusion, we are not only a year and four days from the commencement of the 20th century, but 101 years and four days, and we will not be into the 20th century till we write A. D 2001. As a matter of fact, where we write 1900 we will have completed that number of years." CASCADE CITY'S ATTRACTIONS! MAGNIFICENT WATER POWER! Y)ow under development. Look at the immense ���V'dam, 400 feet long and 50 feet high, now under construction. The flume and tunnel to convey the water will be 16 feet wide, 13 feet deep and 1000 feet long. The water will be conveyed from the mouth of the tunnel to the water- wheels, through two iron pipes, each S}4 feet in diameter and 2000 feet long, with a perpendicular fall of 156 feet. Excavation for a power-house is now in progress near the wagon road bridge, and the excavation alone will cost $10,- 000. Development of this power is now under construction and will be prosecuted as rapidly as possible. A. 10,000 horse power will be obtained, which will be used in developing electrical power to be transmitted to all the mines in the Boundary and Christina Lake Districts. Estimated cost of plant, complete, is $500,000. Beautiful- Christina Lake and Surroundings! The fisherman's delight and the hunter's paradise.

Had Warned England Against Attacking the Boers A dispatch to the New York Herald from London says: It appears that a storm is brewing on tbe subject of the course of the government toward General Sir William Butler, whose conduct at the outset of the war, met with much criticism. It is said that Gen. Butler, previous to the war, sent a series of dispatches warning the government against attacking the Boers, giving details of their condition for war which have been verified by recent events. But hiB dispatches were very distasteful to the government and were put away out of sight, and Gen. Butler was severely criticised. General Butler, it seems, declared that the war office was mislead by the blindness of the intelligence department, and from what has taken place, was totally unaware of, or purposely misinformed by the Boers as to their arms and numerical strength. It is well known here that the British agents of the intelligence department were sent from time to time to find out what the Boers were doing in the way of armament. The Boers knew all about it, but conducted the visitors around forts which they chose for their own purposes, where old guns were set up and shown with affectation of pride by President Kruger's men, who were cunning enough to inspire strangers by their plausibility. Thus the British intelligence department received the most minute reports of the caliber, range and number of the cannon possessed by the Boers, but were merely gulled by the wily burghers. The real guns, with which the war is conducted, Creusots and Krupps, were so carefully hidden that scarce a soul outside of the immediate circle of the government knew of them. The English government sent out guns equal in caliber to what the agents had been allowed to see. In the same view, it is thought that the Boers understood their numerical forces and small guns. It is understood that all three things were told to the home government by General Butler with the result that Butler was called disloyal and pro-Boer and rabid papers demanded his degradation. But since the war, people who knew the contents of General Butler's dispatches, have come forward and asked that they be published. The attention of members of parliament has been culled to the matter aud when the commons assemble in six weeks demands will be made for the publication of the dispatches. If it be asked why General Butler did not speak out, it must be remembered that he is a military man in a high position and says: "My lips are sealed. But the subject is now occupying the club gossips." One very clever clubman remarked that the question amounted to this: "Is he a traitor or a martyr ?" Another said: "Is General Butler the Dreyfus of this war, and has he been snub- lied by the queen ?" For it will be remembered that when the queen visited Bristol, he was withdrawn from the chief command of the western district, and it was stated that he would have been hooted had he appeared. Has he been insulted by the press in order to shield the war office, which believed the intelligence department rather than the chief of the South African forces ? Someone else said: ���'Remember Lord Wolsley's recent speech: 'We have heen grossly misinformed as to the strength and resources of the Boers." The public naturally asks: "Deceived by whom ?" There were three causualties in Greenwood New Years Day. Early in the morning, during the celebration of the New Year in the tenderloin district, Effie Elkins and Mamie Foster got into a mixup. The farmer threatened the life of Mamie with a razor and the latter retaliated by throwing stones, one of which fractured her opponent's skull. Late in the afternoon Gabriel Bran- no, an Italian, employed on railroad construction near there was ac- cidently run over by a yard engine. His spine was fractured, causing instant death. In the evening Geo. Conway, a lumberman, was brought in to the Greenwood hospital from Tillman's mill, two miles south of town, suffering from a fracture of both bones in the left leg. The accident occured while felling a tree which, striking another tree, glanced and hit Conway on the leg. The Columbia & Western has changed the name of two of its stations in the Boundary. That at Gladstone will he known as Coryell, and Niagara as Fisherman. There will also be another change in passenger time and will take effect at midnight Saturday, Jan. 6.

Apparently Grand Forks has wooed and ogled Columbia, its sister town and rival, till now a matrimonial or some other sort of alliance will he formed, and the twain will become one city ere long. It cannot he denied that for safety and healthfulness Columbia has far the most desirable town- site for residential purposes, and some day will be the retail mercantile and dwelling portion of those towns while Grand Forks will retain the wholesale and manufacturing industries. Last week's Miner says: "The city authorities of Columbia have wisely consented to the opening of Winnipeg avenue and we presume this long delayed work will now be carried out in accordance with the original understanding. Work on the avenue will be commenced at once and in a few weeks Grand Forks will have a direct roadway to the C. P. R. station. The railroad company will now proceed with the construction of the much-needed passenger depot, and a vexed local question will be settled. There is not much doubt that if the affairs of the world do not get too badly mixed over the war in South Africa, Grand Forks and Columbia will soon be one, and we shall have communication between the two by an electric tramway. Then the distance to the C. P. R. depot will be practically obliterated, and we shall have in the combined townsite one of the finest foundations for a splendid city ever known in the country." Unless the cable censors give the press of this country some excuse for the apparent blunders the South African generals have made, the infallible editors will batter the reputations of those titled and medaled heroes all to atoms.
