In the absence of the Mayor, Aid. Rendell presided at the regular meeting of the council held on Monday evening last. Aid. Barrett, Phelan and Calloway were also present at the meeting. After the minutes of the last regular meet ing and special meeting were read and adopted, a petition signed by about 50 residents of Greenwood was read. The petitioners drew attention to the fact that there are two magazines containing powder within the city limits and asked the council to take such action as would secure the removal of the magazines to a safer distance. Aid. R:endell stated that his firm ''were making arrangements to build a magazine the other side of the I^ast Chance mine and that they would remove powder thereto as quickly as possible. He quite agreed that the magazines should not be within the city. Aid. Galloway, Barrett and Phelan were also* of the same opinion as the petitioners and Aid. Phelan moved and Aid. Barrett seconded ���" that the petition be received and that dealers in powder be informed that all powder must be stored in magazines at least three miles from city limits and that powder within city limits must be removed before January 1st, 1898." The resolution carried. The council then went into committee to further consider the License, Road, and Dog tax by-law. The different clauses were passed with but little discussion and the committee rose and reported the by-law complete with amendments. It was read a third time and then referred to the acting Mayor and City Clerk who were requested to get the opinion of a barrister as.to the validity of the by-law. . Oh. motion of Aid. Phelan, seconded by Aid. Barrett, Aid. Galloway was appointed to, act as a member of License Commissioners should the Mayor be unable to attend. Aid. Galloway gave notice that at the next meeting of the council he will introduce a by-law to regulate the municipal elections for 1898. \ Aid. Phelan gave notice that at the next regular meeting he would introduce a by-law fixing the rate of taxation for 1898. The council then adjourned. ���SjF If? THE LIBERAL PLATFORM. The Liberal platform expresses the views of the major it y of the people of British Columbia so plainly that it requires no explanation or defense. We would have been satisfied with the publication of the platform without any comments were it not for the fact that our attention has been called to the remarkable criticism offered by the Turner-Dunsmuir organ, the Victoria Colonist. The chief government organ is particularly strong in condemning the clause that suggests a tax on the output of coalmines. It holds that this is an indefensible proposition which needs only to be understood to be rejected. The Illiberal platform urges that coal mines be placed on the same footing as other mines with respect to taxation. The Colonist holds that a tax on the output of coalmines ie indefensible. The Colonist is severe on one set of masters. The editor of the Colonist ought to have known that the government is responsible for numerous acts in which provision is made for taxing coal mines. Has the government done something indefensible, that only needs to be understood to be rejected? Has the Colonist never heard of this clause : " There is reserved to and for the use of Her Majesty, her heirs, and successors a royalty of five cents upon and in respect to every ton of coal raised or g-otten from any lands acquired under the provisions of this act. During the past few years this clause has been inserted in every act which grants public lands to railway companies." As the Colonist is compelled to serve two sets of masters, it often defends one at th�� expense of the other. In its eagerness to serve the Dunsmuirs, it assails the legislation of the Turner government. The Colonist would probably not object to seeing the output of coal mines taxed if the Dunsmuirs' coal were exempted. If the coal from the B. C. Southern lands or the Columbia and Western lands is to be taxed, why should not the coal from Dunsmuir's lands also be taxed ? fir .^�����>^^ SS!&@S@$g&i e 9 jwiwi n,1(l i v ������;��� vr ������ .

Court of Revision. The first sitting of the Court of Revision was held in Rendell & Co.'s hall at 10 o'clock, on Monday last. The Aid. present were Aid. Barrett, Galloway, Phelan and Rendell. Messrs. Rolt & Co., of Rossland, who represent the Rossland Syndicate, appealed against the assessment and the)r were represented by Mr. G. R. Naden. The Court held that the Rossland Syndicate property" had been assessed on the same basis as all property in the city and ho reduction was made. Beyond changing a few names on the roll for those of owners who had recently acquired property in the city, no alterations were made in the roll. Secured Big Game. W. W. Gibbs and Scott MacRae returned to Greenwood oh Sunday after a four weeks' hunting expedition in the mountains back of Dog- Lake. Judging from the number of rams'heads that they brought home with them the trip was a very successful one. Messrs. Gibbs and MacRae went after moun-, tain sheep, and they succeeded in getting them, six heads bearing- mute but eloquent testimony to the prowess of the sportsmen. Considering the fact that the mountain sheep have been hunted for weeks by sportsmen coming in by the way of Penticton, the local huntsmen are congratulating them^ selves on their success; One or two doubtful Thomases sav appearances are deceitful and that although the heads were brought to Greenwood there is no proof that Messrs. Gibbs and McRae did the shooting. The doubtful"ones even suggest that the game was secured by a half-breed guide who was hired b3-- the local sportsmen to accompany them. Such a reflection affords good grounds for an action for criminal libel, and we will be pleased to furnish Mr. Gibbs with the names of the libelers should he care to prosecute them. Quarantine Fees. Dr. Hickingbottom to a Grand Forks Miner representative explained that " when the sum of $15 was asked it covered the inspector's fee and also fees for putting animals through the Mallien test." The doctor also stated that he was entitled to a fee of $1 for inspection. One is forced to come to the conclusion that $14 is an unusually high fee for the Mallien test when it is considered that the Mallien is furnished by the Department of Agriculture and costs the doctor nothing. Transfers. Mr. A. H. Harrison of the B. C. mine has acquired additional interests in Summit camp, the following- transfers having been recorded at the Grand Forks office: O, K. Butts to A. H. Harrison all interest in the Vaslile and Rebelle; W. H. Keough to A. H. Harrison all interest in the Louckee; John Keoug-h to A. H. Harrison all interest in Novelt3r Fraction ; A. E. Keoug-h to A. H.

Some exceeding^ rich ore is being taken from^the shaft on the Spring- dale in Skylark camp. The Tin Horn mill is working very satisfactorily. A clean up will be made after 30 days'run. The holder of ticket No. 9, was the winner of the raffle for the musical box. If he will call at the Windsor hotel he can receive the same. It is reported that Messrs. Hay and McCallum are negotiating for the sale of the upper portion of Grand Forks to a Rossland syndicate.

Catherwood, Spokane, one of the shareholders in the Winnipeg Co., and Duncan Mcintosh, the managing director, were among the visitors to Greenwood this week. The Greenwood skating- rink was flooded yesterday and will be ready for skating on Monday, by which time Messrs. Russell & Co's. of skates will reach Greenwood, consignment ���Mr. T. McK. Eanibly died at his residence, Okanagan lake, last week. Deceased was a brother of Mr. C. A. R. Ivambly, the Gold Commissioner, and was much respected throughout the district. The directors of the Winchester Mining Company of Fairview have decided to place the balance of the treasury stock���50,000 shares���on the market. The price will be 30 cents. This company recently purchased the Stem- winder claim. Mr. J. F. Hemenway of the Old Ironsides mine was in the city this week and reported that good progress is being* made in the developing the property. The machinery is working smoothly. Over 20 men are being employed by this company. Mr. Thos. Hardy has leased the Palace hotel, Anaconda, to Mr. Berger. The Palace is one of the best hotels in the district and under its new management, it is expected that it will retain its old time excellence. The change was rendered necessary in order that Mr. Harcry might devote his whole time to his hardware business. Messrs. Rendell & Co., and the Greenwood City Mercantile Co., have succeeded in moving some freight from Grand Forks by special teams. Several cases of coal oil have been received, consequently the. demand for tallow candles has subsided. Some of the goods have been destroyed by frost owing to the long delay on the road. Messrs. Russell & Co., and numerous j skaters, were disappointed upon the arrival of the Penticton stage on Wednesday. In order that advantage might be taken of the ideal skating- weather, Messrs. Russell & Co. instructed the stage line to bring- the skates from Penticton. A heav}- box was brought but when opened it was found to contain not skates but hooks and other hard- .ware. The skates will be in to-morrow, however. Election of Officers. ���'Court Boundary," I.O.F., elected officers for the ensuing year at its regular meeting last Thursday evening-. A unanimous vote of thanks was also tendered to those who took part in the Foresters' concert. The officers elected will be installed at the first meeting in January. They are as follows ' Court Deputj-���R. Smailes. Chief Rang-er���Georg-e A. Guess. V.C.R.--J. C. Goupil. J.P.C.R.���D. Ross. Recording-Secretary���Geo. F. Miller. Treasurer���J. P. Flood.

The election of a chaplain, financial secretary, and superintendent juvenile Foresters, was deferred until the next reg-ular meeting. Machinery for the B.C. Mr. A.'.H.- Harrison, who bonded the B.C. mine in Summit camp, went out to Rossland last week and purchased a complete plant for the mine from F. R. Mendenhall, agent for the Canadian Rand Drill Co. The plant includes a five-drill compressor, a 30-horse-power boiler, a sinking pump, a 20-horse- power hoist, and a full line of supplies. The cost will reach nearly $5,000. The plant has already been shipped from Rossland and ought to be on the ground within a few weeks. The purchase of machinery shows that Mr. Harrison has every confidence in the property. In fact he has refused some very flattering offers for the purchase of the B.C. The list of properties in Boundary Creek district that are being developed by machinery is continually increasing and in a short time mines will be in a position to produce daily such a larg-e quantity of ore that railway companies will show greater anxiety to secure the trade of the district. With complete mining plants such properties as the Winnipeg, Golden Crown, Old Ironsides, Jewel and B. C. will soon be sufficiently developed to maintain a steady output. Other companies lire also contemplat-, ing the purchase of machinery and it is altogether probable that before May next at least a dozen mines in the district will be operated by machinery.

Municipal government does not appear to be a success in the city of Rossland. The people appear to have but little confidence in the council. Two loan by-laws which were submitted to to the people narrowly escaped defeat and now the city has to face a legal suit instituted by one of the rate-payers. The trouble seems to have risen from the fact that the council was attempting to do too much while the city was in its infancy. The council of Greenwood apparently have adopted a safer course by not, undertaking extensive improvements until such time as the city can control all revenue. All cities incorporated under the Speedy Incor-, poration Act were handicapped from the fact that a portion of the revenue for this year was retained by the government. Next year the new cities should be in a better position and those which were not burdened by heavy debts this year can safely undertake useful public w;brks. There is much to be done by next year's council in Greenwood. The grading of streets, the establishment of an efficient system of fire protection and the construction of many works necessary in a growing ,,city will require the expenditure of a large sum of money. By judiciously borrowing and carefully expending a fairly large sum of money, there is no good reason why municipal government cannot be carried on here without the annoying experiences that have fallen to the lot of Rossland. The Divining Rod. In a recent issue of the Western Mining World is an article defending the Divining Rod. Among the examples quoted in support of this novel plan of locating water is the following : '' William Ward Spinks, a Justice in British Columbia walked about over his grounds for an hour blindfolded and carrying a divining rod in his 'fingers. Every time the wand dipped an attendant drove a peg into the earth. In many cases the justice would pass over a spot where the rod had moved before and it would invariably give the same sign again. He dug wells at only two of the places indicated, but got water in both. The man declared that if he stood over a garden hose with a divining rod in his fingers he could tell by its conduct when the water was turned on and off." Hotel Arrivals. The following were the arrivals at the International hotel during the week: R. H. Bergman, J. R. Jackson, A. K. Stuart, B. Jacobs, R. Gardom, J. P. McLeod, Midway ; W. T. Tye, Montreal ; J. P.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1897. ~ GREENWOOD AND DISTRICT. The ore in the Snowshoe mine is getting richer as depth is attained. The Board of License Commissioners will meet on Wednesday next. The men employed at the Snowshoe are now crosscutting at the 70-foot level. All the water has been pumped from the Jewel mine and men are nowr at work sinking-. The sleighing for the past week has been excellent. All stage lines now run on schedule time. Born���At Osoyoos, on the 25th of November, to the wife of C. A. R. Lambly, Esq., a son. The Boundary Mines Co. have men at work on the Primrose which the company recently bonded. Aid. John Hatnill has almost fully recovered and is expected back to Greenwood in a few days. Mr. Macfarlane has four men at work on the Ruby. This property is showing up well under development. Mr. E. Simmons of the International hotel, intends enlarging his premises by the erection of a hall and cafe. G. H. Ford, the Anaconda barber, has erected a shop on Copper street into which he will move in a few days. A Bachelors'Ball was given in Mc- Nicol's Hall, Midway, last evening. There was a g-ood attendance. Mr. G. H. Collins, manager of the Brandon & Golden Crown Co., returned on Saturday from a business trip to Marcus. The Hamilton Powder Co. are erecting their magazine on the Bonnie Bell mineral claim, near Scott MacRae's ranch. The necessary buildings have been erected on the Golden Treasure claim for housing the men. Mr. Bryant will employ live men. Miss Thornber has almost fully recovered from her recent severe illness and will be able to resume charge of the public school on Monday. Mr. W. T. Smith has transferred the Standard mineral claim in Greenwood Camp to T. D. Johnson. The Standard is a fraction tying between the Brooklyn and Stemwinder. The machinery for the Brandon &. Golden Crown Company was shipped b3r way of Penticton. It reached there last week and will be taken to the mine as speedily as possible. Messrs. Kay and Blough, who have secured the contract for the erection of Aid. Barrett's block have begun building. Mr. Campbell is also making good progress with Aid. Barrett's residence. Nels Leplante has purchased a lot on Copper street, opposite M. E. Frazee's. He is excavating for a building which will be erected immediately. The ground floor will be used as a billiard and pool room. The residents of Copper street have petitioned the city council to take sUch steps as will prevent horses being watered in Twin creek on Copper street where householders now get their water supply. It is reported that Mr. Heinze has sold all his interest in the Trail smelter and the Columbia & Western Railway for the sum of $2,000,000, the purchasers being the Gooderhams of Toronto. The report has not been confirmed. Messrs. Ralph Smailes, A. S. Black, R. Houston and D. Ross paid Grand Forks a visit on Saturday last. Mr. Smailes went over to move some of his company's freight which has been tied up by Dr. Hickingbottom. Mr. Ostros- ki of the Greenwood City Mercantile Co., visited Grand Forks with the same object in view. For Bargains in Mining Machinery and Tools write or call on Chas. E.

G. MS m II Mr. Bostock, M.P. Mr. Hewitt Bostock, M.P;, left Ducks last Wednesday for Boundary Creek. In a letter to the Times he stated that he intended coming straight through to Penticton and from there to Fair- view and Camp McKinney. He expects to reach Midway to-morrow and will be in Greenwood about Tuesday next. Mr. Bostock intends holding a meeting here and probably at Midway. He also wants to see one or two of the nipst developed claims in the district as he is anxious to get a good idea of the resources. From here he goes to Grand Forks and then to Marcus. As representative of the district in the federal parliament Mr. Bostock will be called upon to give much information regarding this portion of his large constituency. His visit is for the purpose of acquiring this information and the residents should be in a position to give it to him. But are they ? Last week The Times suggested the organization of a non-political organization through which the people as a unit could give expression to their views. The requirements of the district rise above party politics and all those interested should exert themselves in placing matters before the member in as strong a light as possible. There are many matters to which Mr. Bostock's attention should be called. First of all is a railway ; but the district needs an improvement in the mail service, a telegraph line, and other public works. Then there are many questions in which the district is interested. For instance, should the enforcement of an export duty on ore come tip for discussion in the house Mr. Bostock should have the views of the people of this district. Mr. Bostock is a conscientious and hard working- member. He has striven to look after the interests of a district which is larger than any other constituency in the Dominion. He should receive every assistance from the elec tors. We hope that during his visit, he will be furnished with such information as will materially aid him in the work of securing for the district such government assistance as its importance/demands. Since the above was written a requisition numerously signed by ratepayers has been presented to Aid. Rendell, acting-mayor; requesting him to call a public meeting to-night (Friday) for�� the purpose of discussing the best means of placing the requirements of the district before Mr. Bostock. It is reported that Mr. Pittendrigh of Rock Creek intends leaving for Teslin L,ake in a few weeks. He intends taking charge of a hotel there. F. M.

G. and all the officers will be installed at the first meeting in January. , Mr. Tye's Visit. Mr. W. F. Tye left for the Coast via Penticton this week. Mr. Tye informed a Times representative that he was in this district partly on mining and partly on railway business. He is interested in the Bruce and he is so well pleased with the property that he stated that he had now a personal,interest in seeing a road built into the district for the Bruce will-be a shipper in a short time. Mr. Tye did not state the nature of the railway business on which he was engaged. He acknowledged however; that he was here in the interests of, the C. P. R. Co., having resigned his position as engineer of the Columbia & Western some months ago. Mr. Tye is confident that railway connection for Boundary Creek will not be much longer delayed;________________ ' ���'.' The Poor Man's Route." The citizens of Spokane are booming the ." poor man's route" to, Klondyke. The route is overland by way of Ashcrof t and Telegraph Creek. Those who will be induced to outfit in Spokane will be grievously disappointed ���when they come to settle with the Canadian Customs officers. By the time they pay from $100 to $150 duty on their outfits they will come to the conclusion that it would have been more profitable to buy supplies on the British side. The Voters' List. The municipal voters' list for the city of Greenwood for the year 1898 ���will present a rather unique appearance in as much as it will contain the name of only one voter who has qualified on a householder's qualification. Under the Municipal Act householders to be properl}'" qualified must have been residents of the city for 12 months previous to November 30th, 1897. As Greenwood was not a city of many houses at that time and as the majority of the electors are property holders the small list of householders is explained. We think however that there are householders properly qualified who have neglected to have their names registered and consequent!}' will have no vote in municipal matters for another year. Work on the Anaconda group has been suspended temporarily until advices are received from England. There has been considerable trouble with the transcontinental wires and consequently the representatives of English capital operating here have been greatly inconvenienced.

COPPER STREET, GREENWOOD CITY, B.C. fapSIIl^^ ��� ~' S^^^OTrTTSW^V THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, HEINZE'S ROAD. Mr. R. T. Daniel, of Trail, in an interview with a representative of the Spokesman-Review, had this to say regarding the railway situation : "I have no doubt whatever that Mr. Heinze's company will dispose of the smelter and railroad properties to the Canadian Pacific and there is positive assurance that in case the deal is consummated the. new owners will, triple the capacity of the smelter and make a strong pull for all the business of the Kootenays. They will also push the line of road across the Boundary Creek country to Penticton and Trail will therefore become the smeltering center of the great mining country tributary to if. This deal will probably reach consummation this week as I understand a meeting of the directors of Mr. Heinze's corporation is to be held to consider the matter and to take final action. It might seem if one were to look at the matter without carefully considering the situation, that Mr. Heinze is in a bad box and that the Canadian Paca- fic could almost force him to any terms it might choose to name. His transportation lines begin nowhere and end nowhere, and apparently the big transcontinental line could invade his territory and wipe him off the map. But such is not the case. By a combination, that evinces good generalship on his part, Mr. Heinze holds the whip _hand and may dictate hisown terms of sale to the Canadian Pacific. He does not stand alone. His little roads have cut a wide swath in the Kootenays and the Canadian Pacific has been the sufferer. At his back stand the Great Northern and Northern Pacific interests, which are closely allied as friends of Heinze even thoug-h they may be wide apart on other matters. For his roads, in connection with the S. F. -&..N., give these two great lines access to one of the .richest portions of the British possessions which the Canadian Pacific also traverses and which "the latter considers its own territory. The result has been apparent in the province, for freight rates have been brought down by international competition which cannot be regulated by interstate commerce, commissions nor any other power. We are paying today in the mining regions of British Columbia at least 20 per cent, lower freight rates on supplies shipped in than we did two years ago, and the bulk of the business is done over the little lines. With such powerful backing Mr. Heinze may laugh at the Canadian Pacific if they do not choose to comeil^his terms, '?�� The Needs of the District. Mr. Donald Graham,�� M. P. P., has written to a residentof Grdenwood urging that the committee to whom was referred the preparing of a list of the needs of the district should make their report at once. Mr. Graham in his letter stated that he was asked by the Department of Lands and Works for a list of the requirements of the district and he was anxious to have full information concerning every locality. The committee have been busy preparing such a list but find that the government have done so little in the past that there are innumerable public improvements needed. ' The Athelston Bonded.

Otto Dillier, the first settler in Greenwood and one of the best known prospectors of the district, met with a most unfortunate accident on Monday last when his right hand was almost crushed into pulp. Mr. Dillier was working on the Gold Bug mineral claim in Deadwood camp. He had chopped a large tree on the claim, which after falling up hili slid on the snow to the stump, catching Mr. Dillier's hand between the butt and the stump. He was unable to extricate the imprisoned hand and called loudly for help. In about twenty minutes the, men. employed at the Mother Ivode heard his shrieks, and thinking the cabin on the Gold Bug on fire rushed over. They lost no time in endeavoring to release the hand, but the tree being a large one, it was no easy task to pry it out from the stump. Finally they succeeded but Mr. Dillier's hand presented a most pitiable appearance. The muscles are torn away and the bones are crushed. Mr. Dillier walked to the city and at ���once consulted Dr. Jakes. The doctor bandaged the hand but he is not at all ���confident that amputation will be unnecessary. _______ Reduction in Price. ������������������������� ������� ��<������������������ ������<�����������<�������� <�� H��-l-����-��M��.Ma��.��<9MMIT h Winchester, Marlin and Savage Rifles.

The Toronto Globe is making a strong and deserving bid for circulation. Finding that the reduction in price of paper and the introduction of typesetting machines have made it possible to publish the paper at a less cost, the price has been reduced from $6 per annum to $4 per annum for the early morning edition, and the second edition has been discontinued. This ��� o �� should give their circulation list a great increase, as it brings within the reach of every person a dailj' paper that is g-enerall3r recognized as the leading paper in Canada. As there is to be no reduction in the size of the paper, and every department, including the Saturday illustrated edition, kept up to its present high standard, and considering the enormous expense that it goes to in order to give all the news ever}*- day, $56 was not too much to pay for it. At $4 per annum its subscription list should soon reach the 50.000 mark. m j4m mt OUR FIvOUR has the name of being the BEST all-round Flour on the market. Try it and you will not use other brands.
