THE REVIEW VOL. 1 COLUMBIA. B. C, APRIL 1, 1899 K0.12 A Ml? SiiiiDiil Gold and Copper Mining Cwnpany— Directors Elected, The first meeting of the directors of the Summit Gold and Copper Mining company, limited, was held Tuesday evening. The directors of this company are, Wm. C. Fox, Toronto; E. L. Heer, A. W. Ross, S. L. Graham and W. C. McDougail of Columbia. Messrs. McDougall and Ross were appointed president and vice-president respectively, and John D. Spence, secretary-treasurer. The head office of the company is at Columbia, and the development of the company's properties will be prosecuted vigorously. It was decided by the directors to offer a block of the company's treasury stock for sale at an early date, and the secretary was authorized to obtain certificates, and such office fiitures as the company mav require. This company owns six mineral claims two the "Main" and "Vanguard" in Summit camp, the "Athol No. i" and "Murphy" in Wellington camp, andthe •'Canada" and "Swan" on Sophie mountain in the Rossland district. Work is at present in progress on the "Mala" in Summit camp. A shaft jo feet has been sunk near the north east corner ol the claim, all in highly mineralized vein matter which assays from $3 to ?6. The lead upon which this shaft was sunk was cut about 4°° feet farther north along its sUike by a cutting on the C. & W. railway, which crosses the "Main". In this cutting, where the Summit Gold and Copper company have also done some work, the lead shows up for a width of about loo feet, all heavily mineralized, and carrying gold, silver and copper. Two hundred feet farther west, on the "Main"' ground, another huge ledge has also been disclosed by the railway work. This lead is seventy feet between walls, the formation being diorite and porphyry. The men employed by the Summit Gold and Copper company are now at work on this lead, as it has been deemed advisable to ascertain the most suitable point at which to commence development .work on the property before heavy permanent work is undertaken. As soon as this has been satisfactorily determined, a permanent working shaft will be sunk and the property put into shape to commence shipping with the least possible delay. The Athol and Murphy claims in Wellington camp are properties of great merit. Considerable exploratory work has been done, and assays as high as $65 oo per ton obtained. A wagon road has been almost completed to these claims and when finished a carriage can be driven to the ground from Columbia in one hour. There is no reasonable doubt that the Athol and the Murphy will rank among the great mineral properties of the Boundary country. The company also owns the Canada and the Swan on Sophie mountain,in the Rossland district. These- claims are excellently situated, near the line of the Bed Mountain railway, and are in the vicinity of a number of properties that have already shown up Satisfactorily. The Velvet, Victory-Triumph, Umatilla and other well Known properties are also located on Sophia mountain. The capital stock of the company is one million dollars, in OHe dollar shares. Pour hundred thousand shares are in the RathmQlleD Stock Sold ii London at Nine and a Half Cents—The New School Mr. H. T. Bragdo n has been unwell but has almost entirely recovered. Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Dunlop, Jr. have taken up their residence permanently in Columbia. Work was begun on Thursday on the Norfolk claim two miles up the valley from this town. Everybody ia sorry to learn that Mr. A.

The change of name ol the postoffice here to Columbia, authorised 7th January last, has now been notified to all offices in Canada under the department, and supplies have been received here bearing the new designation. The reason for tlie long delay in notification, is that the; official post office directory is issued only every three months, and the last directory had just been sent out when the change of name was made. The official stamps and other supplies are now brought up to date. THE PRESBYTERIAN CONCERT. t WasalirandSucceiiFruai Start to Finish— Talent and Audience Largely Columbian.

Interested parties have succeeded in making a few citizens of the lower town believe that negotiations are seriously proposed for some sort of a partnership arrangement between Columbia and Grand Forks. The statement is absolutely and willfully false. It is circulated fora purpose. No one who has any knowledge of the situation can credit it for a moment. Columbia has no grudge against Grand Forks and wishes that town no harm whatever. But our people are bent on managing their own affair*, bearing their own burdens aud developing the resources of their own town. The New School. Mr. Burns.

He is strongly of opinion that the provincial grant for the purpose of putting up a new school should he used iu providing a two-storey building, of which only tbe lower storey need be finished at present, the upper to be completed later on. Mr. Burns bad no doubt that two storeys would he absolutely necessary very soon, and the plan he proposes will likely be adop'ed, as it provides for enlargement to accommodate a school of eight or ten rooms, which will without question be required here within a very short time.

Yon cannot find it on any map, and only a stray westerner here and there remember that it ever existed. That is tbe most telling comment on its history. But back in 1880, Grand Valley pios- pects were of tbe best. It was in Manitoba, on the Assiniboine river, and was the principal point between Portage La Prairie and Port Ellice Steamboats plied on the river and landed goods and passengers at Grand Valley, making it the point of supply and disturbutiou for all the settlements in a wide stretch of country. Its population was not large, there was no, boom 110 excitement. Grind Vi ley was toitentto handle the trade of all the surrounding district, ana to grow up with the country. In 1881, there came a change. The Canadian Pacific was laying out its route through Manitoba westward and. the survey line passed through Grand Valley. The importance of this fact to the little town was so obvious that it fprang into sudden activity. . Its people were jubilant Buildings began to spring up here and there and people looked forward to a time when the fine land of western Manitoba should be occupied by an energetic farming population and all that r.cb agricultural district should hok to Grand Valley as its commercial centre. Later events proved abundantly that the wealth and future prosper ity of tlie neighborhood had not been in the least exaggerated; an important town did indeed spring into being, having that wealth and prosperity as its chief sup port That Grand Valley is not known today as the second city in Manitoba is due to one drawback, and one only. But", that, one made its success impossible. The site of the town was flat and low, on the banks of the Assiniboine river. Its position exposed it to periodical overflow. The railway company rightly regarded this as a fatal objection. It reconsidered its original plans, refused to locate iu buildings on the site first proposed, carried its line through the town and placed its station on a higher plateau, just a mile and a half to the west, and named it Brandon. Grand Valley's disappointment was very bitter. Deputations failed to convince the company that it should disregard all considerations of natural advantage, convenience and expense; and in the end the settlement had to submit. For a time the steamers still ran there, and it seemed that the old town might retain a portion of its trade. But with the first train that ran to the new station, that vain hope died forever, and soon Grand Valley passed out ol existence. It was in the fall of 1881 that the first passenger train ran into Brandon station. May of that year had seen the first tent put upon the site of the new town. N« t a house, not a building of any kind, was I then in existence there. Torday. Bran-1 don has a population of about 4,000 aT.d is thriving and prosperous—second ofify j to Winnipeg in importance aiming the towns of Manitoba, Grand Valley, which she so mercilessly supplanted, does not exist stall, even as a village. Its site is now a.farm. Even if the railway had placed its station in Grane Valley, there niight have been a question as to the town's future, on account of the physical disadvantages of the site. But given a low lying flat subject 10 overflow as against u higher plateau, the railway's choice seemed inevitable. And when that choice was once made, Ihe result was not for a moment in doubt. In such cases, one is compelled to recognize the operations of natural lawn. One cannot ignore them. To attempt to disregard them results invariably in financial disaster. Mr Mcintosh stated that tbo new compressor plant recently purchased from F. R Mi-ndenesll will not be hauled to tlie mil"! until the roads improve.— Boundary Creok times. iN SUMMIT CAMP. The Graphic Claim Sold to a Wall Known Spokane Company. C. L. Hoffman, the Spokane mining broker, closed a deal for the purchase of the Graphic claim, in Summit camp, from E. A. Bielenlurg -of Greenwood. says the Spokesman Review. The consideration is $5000 cash and a block of ssock in a company to be formed. This claim lies in the heart of Summit camp and is bounded on the west by the Sum mit mine, one of the principal properties in camp, and on the east are the Oro Denero and Emma mines, also well known properties. As far as prospected.by surface open cuts, there have been proved to exist two well defined ledges. Tbe No. 1, traced from the Little Giant claim, lias been prospected on the Graphic ground for 800 feet. It isan eight-toot ledge, carrying quartz with iron sulphurets and oxidized iron and copper stain. The ore from this ledge gives values on the surface of Sio in gold, copper and silver. The No. 2 vein comes out of the Summit ground, running east through the Graphic. This ledge is 20 feet iu width and one of the strongest in camp. It is a quartz and iron lead, and on the •Summit claim free gold was often found in the workings near Ihe side lines of the Summit and Graphic. This ledge is said to assay as high as $70 in gold and copper These two leads lie parallel to each other and about 600 feet apart Mi'. Hoffman informed the correspondent that his associates will immediately let a contract for a crosscut tututei which w.ll give a depth of 200 feet on the No. 1 vein where there is an excellent tunnel site. If we are of so little importance why do the Grand Porks board of trade lose so much sleep over our application for incorporation? And why are they so anxious for us to go under their sheltering wing? Oh no Grand Forks, you are a little too slow for a live energetic town like Columbia to associate herself with. The Grand Forks Board of Trade and City Council are the most inconsistent outfit we ever ran across. In their organ they laugh at the audacity of Columbia doing a metropolis.such as they claim to be with their waterworks, churches, banking facilities, $300,000 assessment roll and a big debt, any damage. But in the next breath they beg and pray the lieutenant-governor-incoun cil not to grant our application for incor- as it will greatly injure the credit of the City of Grand Forks. What very funny folks there are in this world. Latest From the Winnipeg Mr. D. F. Mcintosh, the manager of the Winnipeg Gold Mining company, was in the city this week. He brought with him samples of ores from tbe drift on the ore chute recently discovered on the 300-foot level. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago a blind lead was encountered at the 300-foot level. Drifting was continued on this ledge. At60 feet the character ot the,ore changed considerably. The new ore- samples of which were left at the Bank ot Commerce—is much richer than that taken from the ledge. The gold and copper values are mutually increased. ASSESSMENT ACT AM) "PROVINCIAL .

Copper is rising rapidly, copper properties are in demand and the Boundary is the lucky possessor of perlnps the greatest copper region in the world, VW printed last week an article from a recent issue of the Engineering and Mining Journal which shows how matters stand in the Eui lidi' ra's- copper market, and no doubt will in- psiiits, crease the interest of eastern capitalists J gondolas, debts and taxes, and in the many valuable properties in this section.

These lands are much more subject to tbe visitation of tbe tropical Chinook wind than are thoso farther south at Calgary and the balmv temperature which obtains even in early spring is proven by the fact that travellers plucked wild fl.iw-is at Fort .St. John in Ap.il.

The road then continues to follow the northern bank of tbe river, passing through Dunegan and Fort St. John until it reaches Hud eon's Hope, at the foothills of the Rockies. Hitherto the line passes through prairie country, but at Hudson's H >pa the entrance of the Peace river puss is encountered. Strange as it Kay appear, however, this fa-'t doss not involve the tunnelling, rock cutting, switch backs, loops and other devices which are found necessary in climbing the range farther s.nith. Tie pa-s is not a very long one, and after careful observation Mr. Deeclimtn wai able to discover only two points where rock cutting would be necessary. In one or two places sno.v ahed-i would hav« to be built, but not a single tunnel would have to be made.

Spruce two feet In diameter, and lifting clean trunks one hundred feet without a limb, flourish along these streams.* In fact this wood, in which Canada now enjoys a monopoly and which is becoming more and more valuable every year, being the finest pulp wood known, there are millions of square feet in the district indicated which have never baen touched. Large pulp works at Atbab asca Landing, to whicn all this timber can be floated down by tbe streams named, are among the schemes which Mr. Deechman has in contemplation. These works would be a valuable asset of the railroad company, who would certainly ask as a bonus a portion of the forests which the construction of the road would render eo valuable. The marvellous fertillity ot the prairie Ian :1s which extend on both sides of the Peace river have already been demonstrated by many travellers, Here the bration became so intense that the whole City Government was incapacit- ed from business for a week. "The Mayor began the celebration," said Editor Ketcham I f'o.ind him around one evening celebrating iu a fashion that was altogether to wild and western even for Nelson so I arrested him.

Ci"Well, 1 took him around for a time until his ardor wore off somewhat. Then we went into a refectory and squared our differences. We concluded that we would celebrate together. The City Clerk couldn't do anything without the Mayor, so he played poker; the police nen couldn't get along without me, so they quit work. The machinery of the Government was stopped.

The. shaft 114 being suuk 465 feet north of thesn^th line of the claim. Two of the compartment will be four feet by four feet 'dgbt inches in the clear and the other four feet by five in the clear. It will be timbered in the best and most sub ntantial manner as it is .intended as a permanent working shaft. A winze has linen ordered and will be on the gronnd by the time one becomes necessary,. If the inflow of water becomes too great to handle with, a bucket a steam hoist will be put on and also a pump. Tbe property is certainly one of the best in the camp, but heretofore the management lias been content to |do prospecting. Thic change of program means mining iu earnest. Had the claim been operated on mining principles in tbe past, it would have sK'od as higb in public esteem as the Nan I'oil. It is on the same ledge aud the ore is as rich as in the former. It has been developed by about 57 feet of tunnel and and 360 feet of drift along the ledge.

There are no low flats on our townsite annually subject to overflow. Mehind it am, large mining camps traversed by enormous bodies of mineral, wonderful in their size and containing high percentages of copper with appreciable gold values, Experienced prospectors and miners predict these various camps will inside of three years develop into the most phenomenal iu tbe world's history, The camps directly tributary lo this town are WHITE'S or CENTRAL, WELLINGTON, SUMMIT BROWN'S, EVA XS, GREENWOOD,KNIGHT'S, PASS CREEK, HARDY MOUNTAIN and SEATTLE uaiup.i, enough according to present prospects to make twenty Kosslunds. Adjoining tbe town there i» a large supply of timber, such as ne, fir, ta naraek and cedar continuing mi the North Fork.

Arrangements have been eutered into ( by the Last Chance and Noble Five companies in the Slocan, whereby they have agreed to allow each other the use of their tu»nels as soon as they reach the boundary line of the adjoining property. The Noble Five will accordingly carry on tunnels No. a, 3 and 4 of the Last Chance from the points where they reach the end line of the Last Chance where the claims abut»the World's Fair. The Last Chance will have the use of the long crosscut in No. 4 tunnel of the Noble Five, where it cut9 the vein at a vertical depth of 900 leet. The Last Chance will also have the crosscut in A tunnel, where it strikes the Little Widow ground at a depth of 600 feet, and will have the use ot all intermediate drifts. This news will come as a pleasant surprise to the stockholders of both properties, as it will result in th_" speedy and thorough exploiting of the Last Chauce veiu, which has already proved itself to be one of the richest iu the Slocan. As both mines are equipped with excellent tramways, mutual arrangements as to transportation of the ore will also be made.

A Naval Contract The Crow's Nest Coal company has secured tbe contract to supply the British fleet at Etquimalt with coal for tlie present year. Tbe amount cf consumption is not less than 3000 tons per month, and some of tbe vessels when leaving the station carry away with them more than that for one trip. present. This claim was recently purchased by a Spokane syndicate consisting of Charles L. Hoffman, Charles Sweeny, E. J. Dyer, W. J. C. Waaefield, George R.. Dodson and A. E. Palmer, who intend to expend a considerable sum before incorporating a company and offering it to the public. So far little development has been done on the claim, but it is said that the lime and diorite ci ntact doubt do well iu this country. The Graves Smelter. The statement is made on tbe most reliable authority that work on the Graves smelter will begin on the 20th instant. The site is two miles up the valley ftom Columbia and is fortuoately «o placed that tbe trade of the town will benefit to the full, and yet our people will not experience any unpleasant effects from the operation of the works.
