However, two weeks more would have done the trick. Those interested in the Montreal and Boston worked hard to save the properties of the company. They succeeded in the reorganisation ol, a new company under the name of the Dominicsv Copper company. Behind this company ia plenty of capital and men who" have been eminently successful in the copper world. . After considerable delay! they at last succeeded in getting their mines into such shape as would justify the blowing in of one furnace.' This was done early, in November with the result that the weekly" tonnage for the Boundarjr sopn passed the 20,000 tons.' However the aggregate for,the year! will be about 950,000 tons, br50,000 ton*' eho_;f $ the .ggg��.-��hat has~been the modest, ambition 'of "the Boundary. *'���'* ' �� . THS GRANBY. ;: Of course the largest contributor to thia enormouB tonnage' hat been the Granby mines. The tonnage from these mines shipped to the 'Granby smelter will exceed 650,000 tons. In recent weeks, with the, blowing in of additional furnaces, the daily shipments have almost reached the -2,500- ton mark. The remarkable develop ment of the Granby mines has been a revelation to the most experienced mining men and a credit to Jay P. Graves, who from, the first pinned his faith to tht. properties and' stuck to them uutil today be is one of the latgeat recipients of .dividends"from their operation. It is new a little over eight years ago since the. wri*er first met Jfty_P.^Gr^es^^After an unsuccessful bout with Spokane reirestafe he came to the Boundary to' see if he could not recoup his fortunes from the development of the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides mineral claims, in what was then known as Greenwood camp. There was very little to attract the investor. There was, of course, the "open cut"; ��n the Knob Hill. This showed.that there was mineral, but the open cuts of those days would be lost in the glory holes of the present. However Graves had faith in the property and investors had faith in Graves. He went to work and each year saw the properties nearer the shipping stage. Additional plant was added, a smelter was erected.at Grand Forks, theCo- lumbia.and Western railway was built, and, finally, in 1900 the first shipment was made to the company's smelter. The story of the remarkable progress made at the mines is reflected by the following brief history of the smelter for which we are indebted to the Grand Forks Gaxette: July, 1900���First ore received.

The following estimates of the metal Values of the ore treated for 1905 may accepted a_ correct: Copper, 17,483,732 pounds; silver, 291,197-ounces; gold, 4,394 ounces. fi. comparative statement of the months of February and October will show the great increase in the value of the output since the additional furnaces have been pltced in commission. February, 1905���Copper, 1,180,996, pounds; silver, 19,794 ounces; gold, 3,350 ounces. ���, :* v ' ' - October -Copper, 1,854.698- pounds; silver, 29,197 ounces; gold, .4,394 oz. Two dividends hav* been declared by the company. The first in December, iWpj-moufltitig to $133,603, and the second December 1st, 1905, (payable January 15th, 1906) at the rate of 3 per cent, and amounting to tbe sum of $405,000. In this brief review no attempt' is made to "��� describe the various, steps which' have been taken to bring the mines of the Boundary to their present prosperous condition. The Granby company today is the largest shipper of copper ore in the Dominion of Canada, its smelter produces more copper and if the. recent dividend paid is an earnest of future intention, then it is easily the largest dividend-payer. THE B. C. COPPER. Next to the Granby B. C. Copper company has been the largest shipper in the Boundary. Its tonnage"-. this year has been about the same as last. vi*.~" 175,000 "tons~-The"H.-C.���Copper has been going a slower pace than the Granby, but towards the end of 1905 it made a spurt that means much for 1906. As announced in the Boundary Creek Times, the company's directors about December 1st decided to enlarge its smelting plant by the installation of three additional furnaces, each with a smelting capacity of five or six hundred tons a day. Contracts for the furnaces were let to the Power and Mining Machinery company. They have each a 48 x 240 inch health area and will be the largest in Canada. Charging will be done by side dumping cars, hauled by trolley locomotives and the slag will be hauled away by electric locomotives of 25 tons capacity eaeh. Tb< ore bins are to be rebuilt and made ten-feet higher to increase their capacity. The auxiliary power plant to meet the requirements of the increased smelter capacity will be added aod the'development of the company's Mother Lode mine will be pushed to meet the capacity of the smelter. These improvements cannot be brought about in a short time, but in the spring of 1906 the B. C. Copper company will doubtless be treating at least 1,600 tons daily. THE DOMINION COPPER. As already stated, tbe Dominion Copper company is the substantial result of the efforts made to rehabilitate tho properties that were knocked out by the failure of Munro & Munro. It took time and patience and money to do this, but finally success crowned tbe efforts. After getting the mines in shape to smelt ore, one furnace at the (Continued on Page 2.) -_'* um ��� hjuupw "wy t ___, -U * 1'i^sMr" M ui BOUNDARY OREEK TIMES A YEAR'S PROGRESS. . (Continued-from Page 1.) company's smelter at -Boundary Fails was blown in and has since been running steadily. Mr. Thomas, the smeller superintendent expects to blow in a 'second- furnace shortly, when about 700 tons a day will be treated. It is the intention of the company to erect a larg-e: and modern smelting plant in the near future. -The present;plant' will be uSed.until, the new; smelter is ready for. operation. . This company, has a number of large mines which are capable of producing a tonnage equal to the Granby. The big mines are in Phoenix on -the .opposite side of the .hill from tHH^--X_-ranby; and in1 addition. the company- has mining .properticsJ-additioii to its .mineral resources it ij_ in Wellington, Siiti.iii.t and'Deadwood rici, hi'timber and agricultural lands. ....AnoLber camp which has not had that attention itsirnportai.ee warrants is Long Lake camp. It is true that work' was resumed this fall on the Jewel group after a season -of idleness, but there are many other properties in the camp which should attract the mining investor ' ' "': ���" 'OTI-KR INDUSTRIES. ��� But mining and smelting are not the only industries ' of the Boundary; district. No! country offers ' greater attractions for the farmer and fruit grower.. The area of arable land is comparatively circumscribed, but the local market is one of the best in the the province. In the'pursuitof'v.ealthj the possibilities of' agriculture and horticulture have* been largely ' overlooked. The Kettle valley in the'vi- cinityof Grand Forks, in the vicinity of Midway and Rock' Creek, offers the greatest "possible inducement to the s'rhail farmer end fruit grower. During the year an impetus was given to this industry by th. breaking up of large farms into smaller fruit farms which were acquired by successful camps. O..HKK UIC. MINUS.'

She .'combined operation of mine and smelter, by the same company. With the necessary; capital, at least halt a dozen additipnal properties in the Boundary will .become important shippers. This is notably true of the Denoro mines and the Emma in Summit camp. The latter shipped about 9,000 tons this pear. A large gallows frarne is now being erected at the Emmp. and other improvements made preparatory to increased shipments -during 1906. The tonnage to the credit o,l the Denor_ miues is about 3,00Q..tous���a tonnage not at all in keeping with the possibilities of this promising property. It is "understood, how.ever, that additional capital has been secured and that during 1906 the output- will be more in keeping with the importance of the mine. With the neeessary capital the Denoro mines could easily be made one of the big ones of the .Boundary. The Snowshoe in phoenix camp is another big mine which has been b'ing idle for two years, pending the settlement of the treatment problem. Two years appears a long, time to settle this question, but as the mine is owned by an English syndicate no further explanation is required. ���1h_c high grade ones. ���. .Tbe comprehensive description of the; high grade mines contiguous to Greenwood, which was . written fbr the Times by, W7 H. Jeffery, M. E,- and: appeared in last week's issue, should be.read by everyone interested in the ��� development.of the Boundary district. .-.-Mr." Jeffery.-has given his -time--and ' technical knowledge to. the development'of these high grade properties and the fact that a score, of mines are '"tpday^employing.^menr^andr-ma-ny���of- them shipping or_, is sufficient justification for the faith which enabled him to devote his attention to this vary at- - tractive form of: mining. Greenwood derived the greatest benefit from the exploitation of these properties. The high grade"veins are found in the hills mmediately Overlooking the city, the capital invested has been largely local capital, the men employed are local men; they live in Greenwood, get their supp.ies here, and the money received from ore shipments has been kept at home, High grade mining has been largely responsible for the increased prosperity noticeable in Greeuwood and not enjoyed by other towns in the Boandary. OTH-.K -AMI'S. Outside the Boundary district proper, but still tributary to Greenwood, the development has not been as rapid as was reasonably looked for. The West Fork district, than which, .there is no more promising mining district.in the province, early in -��� the year gave promise of a development commensurate with the -importan.ee of .the district. The assurance, of adequate transportation facilities by the construction ot the Midway and Vernon railway encouraged the mine owners to renewed efforts: The Sally shipped several carloads of hitrh grade ore, considerable work. Was done on the Rambler and Duncan, and on the Enterprise and S R in Boomerang camp. For some unknown reason the Carmi has been idle during the year, although it has its own concentrator on the ground. Assurances are given, however, that work on this property is to De renewed early the coming year. A number of owners of high grade mines of the West Fork are going to make shipments during the winter months, but the. delay in the construction of the. Midway and Vernon will necessarily retard mining development in that district. With a railway it would soon/become one -of the-7iuvp6i'taiit inining camps of the province. The north .Karl, camp, also handicapped by lack of transportation facilities, is coming" to ��� the f rent by reason of the promising .character of its ore bodies. The MoKinley mines have b.en wbrking a force of men -with the .,-. ��� . .-��� -. ���- ��� y. ������ > u ost eucouraging results.7 it is .understood .that" arrange me nti were, recently-made to secure a large amount of-capital to develop th__'*-mine.

In ���i ��� ���.���:'��� Pacigc railway and/for three months a legislative..battle was waged at Ottawa such as was never before witnessed in the federal capital. The V., V. & E. finally triumphed and immediately contracts were awarded for the construction of the line as far west as Keremeos. Although handicapped by lack1 of -labor, the contractors'���have made remarkable progress. .Further delay was occasioned by the obstructive tactics..of ti.e. C..P- R. in connection witb* land claimed by the company and which had to-be -crossed by the V.-,'--.V.- &.'

Once the irrigation problem is solved the the Kettle,River valley should become one of the important farn.ing' centers! of the province. It is understood that a syndicate is now acquiring lands in the Kettle valley between Midway and and Rock Creek with a view sf irrigating the same and subdividing into small fruit farms. The scheme is bound to prove successful and the settlement of these lands will be an important factor m the prosperity of the Boundai jr The most remarkable development from an agricultural point of view has been in connection with ihe plateaus on the higher levels.

No irrigation is required on these higher levels and it has been demonstrated that the harder grains can be grown at an elevation of 4.000 feet.

Thus the desire of British Columbians generally will br. satisfied withont the alienation of public lands or the expenditure of public money to secure the construction of a railway in yrhose aid both money and lands were freely offered a few years ago. 1 Driven by its most formidable competitor, the Canadian Pacific Railway company had to abandon a policy of obstruction for one of active construction. "' To save a share of its territory' in the Similkameen a contract was awarded for the construction of a rail- Way from Spence's Bridge on the main line to Nicola, a distance of 43 miles. The work is well completed and track- laying has been commenced. The object of the company is to continue ' from Nicola valley into the Similkameen. to Pentieton, following up Ina- kameap ereek to the summit of the mountain, connecting with its Columbia and Western line at Midway. This work will he fairly well completed during 1906 and thus will be secured an alternative short route to the coast. The transportation development has not been without its disappointment. The greatest development in this province can be secured by the con- -truction of railways running not east and wes,tover mountains but north and south,,following the valleys. A railway built north and^south through the interioj of l.ritish" Columbia would do more in developing its natural resources than half a dozen railways run. ning east and west. .

A review for the year just closing would not be complete without a brief reference to our own town. In many respects Greenwood has enjoyed the most prosperous year in its history. It is true that during railway construction days money was freer and Greenwood enjoyed all the concomitants of a genuine boom. But a boom cannot last and the aftermath is always a trying time for thoso who are identified with a town. It took Greenwood several years to recover from the results of that construction boom. The development of the mines, the increased smelting facilities, the operation of high grade mines contiguous to the city, the retirement of heavy liabilities and the permanent character of the mining industry, all combined to put the city on a more solid basis. During the year merchants did a larger and more profitable business, they were not so heavily burdened with past liabilities^ money was more free, customers paid more promptly, and bright prospects of the future encouraged them. If any. criticism were to be offered it would be to the effect that the business men of Greenwood failed to take advantage of these favorable conditions and time and again lost opportunities to forward the interests of the city and incidentally their own interests. During 1906 there should be more concerted action in promoting the -interests ��of the city. With the resources briefly referred to above, with the bright outlook for the future, there is no reason why during 1906, with a proper spirit of local patriotism, with a united people all filled with an enthusiastic desire to advance the interest of their city. Greenwood should not become the best town in the best district in the Province of British Columbia. So far as the Boundary Creek Times is concerned it has had its ups and downs with other business inhabitants of Greenwood. The year 1905 has been one of the most prosperous in its -history. It begins 1906 full of confidence that it will be the best in its hisforymand^bolieves=its^wish -will-be fully gratified when it wishes for its -readers "A Happy and Prosperous New Year." the city . . . . . .

This act will not prevent the .rich from using their own carriages, boats and other conveyances, or from employing their domestic servants on the L,ord's day; but the, poor, who cannot afford such possessions, and have few if any opportunities other than Sunday of using public conveyances for pleasure, will be debarred from doing so on that dayf- Must we conclude that hired service is for the rich a necessity, but for the pooria desecration of the Sabbath ?" Is it just to refuse a public concession of those kinds of recreation to the poor which the rich have long taken without hesitation ? Above all is it wise to mnltiply restrictions and requirements beyond7 what: is essential, when we know that nien so hemmed in break the artificial barriers, and in doing so with a sense of guilt become hardened and prepared to transgress commandments of divine and eternal obligation Liet us in all ^lawful, and-expedient, ways try to ensure to every man his weekly day of rest, though that may not in all cases or on all occasions coincide with the Sunday. By all means lawfullet us try to lead men to'"what we believe a right observance of that day. ' But .as Christians we have no irght to go'^further than St. Paul did when "one man esteemed one day above another," while "another esteemed every day-alike," the apostle only said, " I.et every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." Much of the work of .the Lord's Day Alliance : is commendable, but their proposed law in its present form seems neither advisable nor just, and to sign their petitions, though, very geneialin -fbrjji, would signify approval of the law.

The. concert, the dance and the supper were all free.! A small house greeted the. Polmatier Sisters in the Auditorium Friday evening of last week.

Forthe past three month Frank Gome has been working on the London in Central camp The London is ^own-granted and^ajoina^ the City of Paris. While cutting througlT some wash, Mr. Gome uncovered -what he believes to be a very large-body of copper-gold ore. He has run an open cut 37 feet across the ore body, and thinks its width will be fully 60 feet. The ore, he says, has been traced about eight hundied feet on the claim. If the assays are fair and the ore body proves as large with depth as he claims it is, there will be a stir. io Central camp next season. L^ _ • _ _.-'■ . - ■ \"'I • _ ij -LAW-CAULFIELD Co LIMITED.
