McGregor Negotiated the Deal- Hydraulic Engineer on the Ground���Plant to Be Installed Immediately. MINING NOTES A ledge of ore carrying good silver values has been opened on the Jack Pot, a property owned by Al. Sanderson.' ������ "- '-..'"'���'.' The charter secured by the Greenwood Waier Power company has been secured by W. A. Campbell and Jno. McGregor who' have been in the city for several weeks. The company have acquired; the use of the waters of Boundary creek and the power at Boundary Falls: It is the intention of the new owners, to immediately install a plant below the falls fcr the purpose of generating electricity for power and light. With this obiect in view, G. B. Riblet, the well known hydraulic engineer, is at present on the ground making surveys - in order to determine the best plant that can be installed. The company intend to furnish Greenwood, Deadwood, Phoenix and Midway with electric ��� light and power. Handsome central offices will be built in the city arid the general business of the big concern will be transacted in the city. It is understood that Wm.' Mckenzie, the well known railway and' mining man, is backing Messrs. Campbell & McGregor. Messrs. Wood & Galloway who were the principal. shareholders in the Greenwood Water Power company, did considerable work at the falls last summer. A dam was built ISO feet above the Cascade. This dam'is constructed of strong "timbers filled with rock. It has a cement bottom, with a S-fo'6t square waterway of 2:inch plank. With: the present'dam a: 250-horse power is available, but the new owners intend'to raise the dam another 20 feet so as to secure a big reservoir of water. The ground to the rear of the dam is well adapted for a reservoir, and by building the dam another 20 feet, suf- ficent water can be stored to insure adequate power during low water. Mr. Riblet who will have charge of the work is considered the best hydraulic engineer in the country. He put in the Spokane system of waterworks and has been the expert for several hydraulic undertakings in the Kootenays. Messrs. Campbell & McGregor will start work immediately. They will make every effort to have the city lighted within 60 days. In the event of their not being able to do so, they will furnish bonds that the work will be carried to completion. - ��� The generating of electrical power is an important matter for the city. There are several small industries that will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to secure cheap power and it will also be an encouragement for others to start in Greenwood. THE.

Mr. Farrell recently opened the property in a different place from the old workings and exposed another fine showing of ore. : The Sarah Consolidated company has been organized by Fox & Ross, Toronto, for the purpose of acquiring the Belleview, Showshoe, Toledo, Diamond, Alice and other Camp McKinney properties. Robt. Wood received word from Clement Vaschar, who is managing the Okanogan mine at Peticton, that a new lead of rich of copper was recently uncovered on the property. Shipments from this mine to the Trail smelter will be made this week. A Montreal dispatch says: The James Cooper Manufacturing company, limited, is now manufacturing a plant for the Montreal Boundary Creek Mining company, limited, consisting of a hoist, which is designed to handle loads of four tons, at a hoisting speed of 500 feet per minute, air compressor of a capacity to operate 20 Sergeant drills; and air drills of the Sergeant latest- models, auxiliary valve type.

Fire Chief Henton who was present suggested to the council the advisability of purchasing a team for the use of the department instead of buying a hand hook and ladder, truck and hand reel. He pointed out that these would have to be discarded in a short time if the city grew and that in any case they would be useless in deep snow of winter. The team could be used on streets arid would pay for itself. If the council would provide a team he would undertake to get a large truck by popular subscription and' aid of. insurance companies. This matter and the purchase of hose and other apparatus was referred to a committee consisting- of Aid. Fisher, Sutherland and Chief Henton. The following standing committees were appointed: Streets, Ald.Cameron, Beath and the mayor. Finance, Sutherland, Wood and Fisher. Waterworks, Sutherland, Fisher and Beath. The question of the waterworks franchise extension having come up later in the evening the council decided to grant the extension providing the company put up a 3510,000 bond as security for the installation of an electric light system. mnmmmmmmmmmfci ~~*m PUfflPiNG MACHINERY FOR MINE WORK, mmm^u.

Although the railway is nearing completion, although freight is now . routed by rail to the city of Grand Forks, the freight bills do not appear to make shorter inroads upon the business man's bank account. A Greenwood merchant gives the following figures to show that he is paying S10 a ton more for freight now than he did previous to the routing of goods to Grand Forks. The class of goods referred to the rate from Vancouver to Bossburg was 94 cents per hundred pounds; from Bossburg to Greenwood SI.50 per hundred pounds, a total of $2.44. Now the rate is $2.21 per hundred pounds from Vancouver to Grand Forks and 75 cents from Grand Forks to Greenwood, a total of S2.96. This makes a difference in favor of the Bossburg route of 52 cents per hundred pounds, or S10.40 per ton. The public were told that the C.P.R. was a patriotic institution that was anxious to build into Boundary Creek not with a selfish object in view, but that the illimitable resources of the district might be exploited and that the wealth might be retained in this country. We fear that its patriotic intentions have been forgotten and that it is already holding up the business men for a higher freight rate than was levied when goods had to be hauled a much longer distance by wagons.

The following is the text of the address on the silver-lead question; delivered "T>y Mr. W. H. Aldridge, manager of the Trail smelter, before the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia: Some two years ago I was asked to enter the employment of the Canadian Pacific Railway company, for the purpose of aiding in the development of the low grade ores of British Columbia, and the establishment of smelters at whatever points might be necessary to accomplish this, and prevent the further shipment of ores to the United States. My understanding was and still is that primarily the railway coin- pay is interested in making it possible to mine the low g-rade ores of the country. Having been connected for a number of years with smelters'; now members of the American pool or trust, and at times when we were able to secure large shipments from British Columbia properties, I am in a position to know how the bullion resulting from the smelting of these British Columbia silver-lead ores was handled. Practically all .the smelters are "bonded warehouses," and the lead in the ore and in the bullion is smelted and refined in bond, and the resulting lead is sold in the English market, doing this it was not necessary to the duty of, 1,!^ cent per pound to United States government, and smelters gained somewhat on the lead quotations becanse the English market is usually not as much as 1J4 cents lower than the American market, and the United States government allows them to sell nearly 10 per cent of the amount imported in the New York market. While the United States duty on lead in lead ore is 1)4 cents per pound, the duty on lead bullion is 2'/& cents per pound. This difference between their duty on lead in ore and on lead in bullion, shows in itself that the United States wishes the smelting of these silver-lead ores, but that they do not ��� care to have more than a very limited tonnage of foreign pig lead actually reach their home market. They have no wish and cannot afford to antgonize their own lead miners by allowing foreign lead from either British Columbia or Mexico to come in free. There is a market for about 12,000 tons of pig lead in Canada per year, and the price of pig lead in that market is much better, than the London price, but, not quite as good as the New York price. The present Canadian duties are such that the Nelson smelter, the Pilot Bay smelter (were it running), and the Trail smelter are not allowed the privilege of selling a single pound of Canadian lead in the Canadian market, but are compelled by their own duties to sell Canadian lead in England, the United States duty of 2*4 cents on lead in bullion making the New York market impossible for the Canadian smelters. Now that while Mr. Buchanan has stated that 12,000 tons of lead, which means 24,000 tons of 50 per cent, lead ore, do not amount to much, yet I claim that the best good to the whole country can be obtained by at least giving the mining industry of Canada, and if you wish to put it so, the smelting industry of Canada, the benefit of their own market for lead, which at present is absolutely impossible. This can be accomplished, I think, by the amendments which I have introduced. I do not think that anyone present objects to the request which has been introduced to have pig lead from Canadian bullion, refined in America and read- ' mitted into Canada free of Canadian duty. But of the 12,000 tons of lead annually consumed in Canada there is only a market for from 3,000 to 4,000 tons of pig lead, the reason for this being that while lead pipe, sheet lead, and shot are protected (the duty on lead pipe sheets, and shot being 25 to 35 per cent.), the duty on white lead, litharge, red and orange, which makes the market for the rest of the lead, is from nothing to 5 per cent, or is actually less than the duty on the crude material (pig lead) of 15 per cent. Now if these duties on manufactured lead were increased to correspond to the duties on lead pipe, sheets, etc., all this "manufactured lead" would be made in eastern Canada and from Canadian lead, instead of coming from Germany, as at psesent, at a 5 per cent. duty. In this connection, I wish to say that Mr. J. R. Wilson, of Montreal, one of the largest purchasers of pig lead in Canada, an.l Mr. Munro, of the Canada Paint company (the largest consumers of white lead in Canada), are both thoroughly in accord with the proposed changes in duties set forth in the resolutions. But even if Mr. Buchanan's contention is correct, that 12,000 tons of , lead are not worthy of considering, we still have, for our surplus, the Chinese and Japanese markets,, which, although only a little better , than the English market, have the advantage of being nearer and easier to reach, and this advantage over the English market is practically represented by the difference in. freight rates from Nelson or Trail to the eastern sea board as compared to those to the western sea board. The objections raised by members of the government to changes proposed were that they were collecting $37,000 per year duty on pig lead imported,and our reply to this was that they might better cancel the bounty of $30,000 per year which had not and would not have the least effect in starting or establishing the smelting industry, and waive their claim to the $37,000 duty -when the lead came, from the lead ore smelted in'Canada. I think that their objections to any increase in duties on white lead, litherage, red lead and orange were partly political and partly because of negotiations with' the United States. We all appreciate the value of the mining industry to a country, and we are unanimous in wishing to do whatever we can to encourage and stimulate it. I do not think we all appreciate the value of the smelting industry to the mining industry, and to the whole country. Such places as Denver, Pueblo, Butte, Helena and Great Falls, were either given their start or are largely dependent on the reduction of the ores, and the large pay rolls and permanency of the cities, bear proof of the great value to the community of this industry. Even the Trail smelter is spending in Canada, directly or indirectly some $60,000 to $70,000 per month, and this is not spent at one point, but distributed throughout the country. If the ore" which is handled at these works went to the United States, practically not one 'cent of that amount would be disbursed in Canada. In the case of the low grade ores, it cost more to smelt the ores than to mine them, or, in other words, ap- roximately one half the benefit of having a mine accrues to the country in which it is located, and the other half goes to the country in which the ore is smelted. When Rossland ores or low grade lead ores from the Kootenay go to United States for treatment, that country receives the benefit of fully one-half the total amoun*- expended in its handling. Where such ores go to Nelson, Trail, or Canadian works, Canada receives the whole benefit of the mine. Having explained the reasons for the resolutions I have introduced, and which I believe are identical with those of Nelson and the Sandon Silver Lead Mine Owners, I wish to say a few words upon Mr. Buchanan's resolution and comment upon some of the statements he has made. If you will read this resolution carefully, you will notice that it is asking the the Canadian commissioners to beg of the United States commissioners to lemove the X'/i cents.duty upon lead in lead ore, while it says nothing about taking off the 2% cents duty on lead bullion. There is no objection to getting the United States to take their duties off ore and bullion, but taking it off of ore and leaving it upon bullion would mean, assuming present relative quotations in London and New York that the American smelters would have a market worth $30 more per ton of lead than the Canadian smelters, or a direct advantage on ore of $15 per ton in the case of a 50 per cent, lead ore. This is an advantage which could not be overcome, even though the railway hauled the ore and bullion for nothing, and it would be impossible to smelt a ton of lead ore in Canada. But I am not willing to admit that the Canadian miner would benefit by legislation closing the Canadian smelters, for by so doing Canada would be making a present to one smelting institution in the United States, of the entire lead-silver reduction industry, and while the miner might temporarily get better prices, yet that improved price would only be such as would keep Canadian smelters closed, and would not be as favorable a price, in the long run, as that they would receive if Canadian smelters were in a position to compete with the American trust, which they could and would do had they the advantage of their own market. We all believe that with better prices for lead ores there would be many more mines working, but if, as Mr. Buchanan intimates, there would be 200 lead producing mines as compared to 10 or 12 now, what would become of that New York market, which has been aptly described as having a fence around it and consequently whose price (Concluded on page 7.)

Perhaps1 the most important public flotation of a mining- company for a long- time past is that of the North Star Company, Limited, of East Kootenay, the prospectus of which is published today, says the Toronto Mail and Empire.. The North Star has been for some time known as the greatest, and it is also believed the most valuable body of silver-lead in British Columbia, if not on the continent of America. Its history is now fairly well known, althoug-h the fact that it has up.to now been owned by a close corporation has prevented the details of its develop- " ment and success, from being fully made known. 'It has now, however, as as was stated in these columns some time ag-o, been placed oh the market by the issue and sale of 260,000 shares of treasury stock. - The directors of the company include some of * the best known men in the Dominion, the president being- Mr. D. Mann, and the,vice president, Hon. A. A. Thibaudeau, of Montreal. The other directors are Messrs. H. S. Holt, Montreal; Wm. Mackenzie, Toronto; and Charles E. L. Porteous, Montroal. The reports of the experts on the development of the mine show a very large quantity of valuable ore blocked out and ready for shipment, the company being already .in a position to pay - front this source alone one per cent, per month on its issued capital for more than three years to come. With such a property and under the management of the gentlemen named above: it may be expected that the North Star mine will jump at once into the very foremost position of the mines of the Dominion.. , . Mr. AldrMge; on Silver-Lead Question, is fictitious? How long does any one believe it could be riiaintained at A'/i cents, when Canada added her product from 200 shipping mines? You must remember the Cceur d'Alenes ��� have > been crippled arid that nearly every lead smelter in the United States has been closed, and even under these circumstances they can only hold the price at \yi cents. Furthermore, the American Trust and theGuggenheimers have infinitely greater interests in Mexico than they have in Canada, and is it'likely that they would allow Canadian lead in free without insisting that Mexican lead also be admitted? Mr. Buchanan admits that under the same conditions Mexico shipped into the United States 60,000 tons of lead ore to Canada's 19,000 tons. Is it likely that the United States will ad- ' mit or could admit any such tonnage and still maintain the present high price? On the contrary, the New York market would at once fall to' that of the world's market. London and the Canadians would, in the meantime, have killed one of the most valuable industries of the country, while their lead mines would have been placed at the mercy of a single smelting company in the United States. But the American trust does want the smelting of these lead ores, and would no doubt urge upon the United States any legislation which- will kill the smelting industry of Canada, and at the same time prevent too much Canadian lead reaching the New York market. What Canada requires and should ask for is a removal of the present duties on lead in ore and bullion, or a reduction in those duties without a discrimination ing the duty on lead in bullion, will kill the lead smelting industry, and will not benefit the miners in any such way as has been intimated, but will on the contrary place them absolutely in the hands of the American trust. I can reply to Mr. liuchanan's assumption of personal ownership of all the mines and smelters, and questioning whether the best good could not be obtained by closing the smelters, by saying that if I were in that fortunate position I would not change my opinion in the least, and the fact that the San- don Silver Lead Mine Owners have passed resolutions almost identical with these I have submitted, with the additional request of the removal of duties on lead in ore and in bullion, is sufficient proof of the truth of my assertion. I do further repeat that it would be a very serious injury to all to prevent lead smelting here and to give half the advantage of owning the mines to the United States. At the time the United States duty was }i cents per pound I think the freight and treatment charges were so much higher, that I doubt whether shippers receive any more for their ore than at present. I can not admit that the two years' campaign of the Pilot Bay smelter was any great success, for during that period I think they lost some $300,000, and it .was .for this reason rather than the McKinley tariff of Xyi. cents, duty (as claimed by Mr4 Buchanan) that that smelter was closed. It is true a lease was given-'to Braden brothers, but they represented Omaha and Grant and held the lease for them, and no one doubts but the Omaha and Grant were more interested in seeing the lead ores, of British Col- urhbia go to their United States works than they were in seeing them smelted at Pilot Bay. , In' closing I. wish to say that the most good to this community, including the miners, its railroads, its strielr ters and its merchants will result in doing that which will make it possible to mine and ship the greatest tonnage of low grade ores, whether they be lead or copper, and I am satisfied that this can not be accomplished by asking the United States, as the Kaslo resolution does, to so legislate as to prevent lead smelting in Canada at the yery time when that industry "is being started. That-industry does not and has not asked protection,, but it does ask that the Canadian commissioners do not,request the United States commissioners to legislate against Canadian industries by appealing to them to open the New York market to United States smelters and close it to smelters on this side of the line. In copper there is a free exchange of copper in ore and matte, and since the establishment of Canadian smelters Rossland shippers have been able to get at least $7 per ton more for their ore, and the same would be true if the United States removed ' its duties from lead and treated it in the same way as it does copper. But before begging the United States to do something which would injure the mining and smelting industries, it would be more consistent to correct the Canadian duties. If, however, it should be considered advisable to recommend any request being made to the Canadian commissioners in case they should meet, I would suggest the following: Resolved, That we urge upon the Canadian commissioners the importance of a reciprocal arrangement with the United States,'providing for a free exchange between the two countries of lead in ore, bullion and matte, and the continuance of the present free . exchange of copper in ore and matte. But in the event of the failure of the commissioners to obtain a free . exchange of lead in ore and bullion, and this meeting urge upon them the necessity of insisting upon the duties on lead in ore and in bullion being made the same; and should the United States decline to do this, it is further urged that the Canadian commissioners take such action as will protect the smelting industry of Canada. The resolutions which I offer as an amendment to Mr. Buchanan's motion are: Resolved, That the lead smelted in Canada and refined in bond in the United States should be readmitted into Canada free of the Canadian duty on pig lead of 15 per cent. Resolved, That Canadian import duties oh white lead, litharge, red lead or other manufactured lead be increased to 30 per cent, to correspond to the present Canadian duties on lead pipe, sheet lead, etc., it being understood that the present duty on pig iron be maintained. i L>��G Mi ���sis Wid- Dining Rooms will be opened on Sunday,'August 13th.
