77s. Jt--'-Fi J* ��� \ \ i 'f*mt|l... PER WEEK, THEY ARE CONSIDERED VERY FINE EATING - There are at least a score of mines in district that are working-steadily right along1 and with generally satisfactory results. Most prominent among- these are the Miner-Graves group���the'.Old Ironsides, Knob Hill, , Victoria and Grey Eagle���War Eagle and Snow- shoe, in Greenwood camp; Golden Crown and "Winnipeg, in Wellington' camp; the City of Paris in White's camp; the B.. C. and K. Bell, in Summit camp; and the Mother L,ode, Sunset, Morrison and Buckhorn, in Dead- wood camp. In addition to a number of other properties that are .'advancing beyond the prospect stage; there are numerous claims upon which more or less work is being'done and some of these look very promising. It is evident then that despite the prevailing quietness of business throughout the district and the comparative absence of activity iii the direction of new enterprises heing undertaken, thereis much that is encouraging in the present position." In fact there is room for satisaction in two particular respects. One that the substantial progress now being made in mining matters is distinctly upon the merits of the mining industry, arid the other, which is the direct outcome of this progress, is that the district may now fairly claim to have_entered upon,the' SHIPPING STAGE. In support of this claim it may be poiuteu'-uUL -Lhat "the ii. C, Old ironsides, Knob Hill, Golden Crown, Winnipeg are sending out ore regularly, three of them to the Granby smelter at Grand Forks, and the others to the^C. P. R. smelter at Trail. Compared with ol ler districts having more extensively developed mines, the total shipments from the Boundary district, of course, appear small", but there is good reason to believe that following the early installation of new and larger plants and the provision of other facilities for mining, raising and shipping ore, the output of the mines and the consequent increase in the quantity of ore sent to the smelters, will rapidly increase and will, ere the current year closes, attain a total that will prove a most convincing object lesson as to the importance and value of the Boundary's contribution to "the staple products of province. The number of cars of ore sent out during July was as follows: B. C. mine... ; *.'. ,:...,. 87 Old Ironsides 64 Knob Hill .....���.;......' 31 Golden Crown..............7.7-;... 36 City pf Paris 20 Winnipeg. ', ; 14 Total number of cars .252 It will be seen that the Mother I/ode mine does not appear in the above list as a shipper. The reasons for this are that notwithstanding that this mine has an enormous body of ore opened up by drifts and crosscuts, so that stoping is quite practicable in at least, half a dozen different parts of the mine, the more powerful air compressor plant and hoisting engine ordered have not yet been received, the ore-sorting plant and appliances are not ready for use and the-company's smelter is not yet completed...:_ It is unlikely, . though, that much Mother I^ode ore will be sent to Trail, for by the time the mine is in shape to ship freely the smelter now being erected at Greenwood," principally for the purpose of reducing the ores of this mine, will be ready to treat them. Before referring further to the district smelter position, it may be mentioned that alittle pre additional to that stated,,above.- was*���.6Td-tti_l*t"_fl*r .month, but as it'was only for test purposes, no account is here taken of it. 'WORK AT IHK SMEW'ERS. With nearly everything else in readiness for actual smelting to be commenced at. the Granby smelter, and ore arriving right along, the unavoidable delay caused in connection with the development of the water power, which must be made available before the furnace can be blown in, is much to be regretted.- 'However, there is no use iu being- impatient since so large and important an industry may not 'hastily be set a going with any reasonable prospect of being maintained in operation. Adequate power, fluxes, fuel and other requisites must first haye been secured ere a start can be .made.^_It.Js^stated^thatrworki.on^the; dam across the North Fork of Kettle river, is now so far advanced that the water maybe turned into the bigflume any day. So it seems that President Miner's expectation to have the smelter at work'and everything running soomthly in connection with it and the output of ore from his company's mines within the next week or so is likely to be realized. The Greenwood smelter, though not nearly so far advanced towards completion as the one at Grand Forks, is making a good showing. During July much work was done by the force of bricklayers engaged in lining and roofing in the'big dust chamber with brick. More trestles to carry the rails along which the cars of coke fluxes will be run have been constructed. Quantities of brick and lumber for completing these have been received, and the yard has been cleaned up iny readiness to. receive fuel and other materials. Trestles are now being put up at both ends of the upper ore bins, to furnish more room for handling cars delivering ore at the smelter. The cast-iron columns and heavy top- plates of the furnace have been placed in position so that the putting together of the water-jacket and other parts of the furnace can now be undertaken at any time. wijat The* shines are doing. As already stated the Old Ironsides shipped 64 cars of ore during July and the Knob Hill 31 cars. As the first shipment was not made until July llth the 95 cars sent out represent three weeks' shipments. The delay in completion of spur lines to the ore bins nnd in getting sufficient ore cars necessitated a temporary reduction early in the month in the number of men employed upon this group of mines. Below ground the month's work included 1*^0 feet run in further development of the Knob Hill and 128 feet of the adjoining Grey Eagle. In the Old Ironsides and "Victoria stoping ore and getting it ready for shipment occupied most" attention. On the surface the capacity of the electri. light plant was increased from 100 to 200 lights, and lighting of the interior workings of the mines and of both sets of ore bins, as well as of the many buildings was fully provided for. With the 10-drill air compressor plant shortly to arrive are two 9xx2 hoisting'etigines. One of these will replace the smaller hoist now at the mouth of the Old Ironsides No. 1 shaft, and the foundations have already been prepared for it. The smaller hoist will be taken under ground for use there. The other larger hoist will be placed in the Knob Hill main tunnel and the station, near the shaft, starting at about 350 feet in the tunnel, is being enlarged to make room for it. A 40x80 frame building is being erected at the mouth of No. 1 shaft, to house the new hoist and other Old Ironsides plant. A contract has been entered into to put down switches and otherwise give more room on the railway spur near the Knob Hill ore bins. A diamond drill is on the ground to be employed tor several months in generally prospecting the outside claims of the Miner-Graves group. About 110 men are at present employed at the Old Ironsides and associated mines and altogether-there is a general air of progressive activity about these properties. .7 , .-",- At the War Eagle the east crosscut at the 100-foot level is now in 205 feet from, the main shaft, and the west crosscut 170 feet. A raise from the end of the latter, for an air shaft, ran into ore at 50 feet up. A drift was run 11 feet in this ore and then connection ^^vf^^*)^��^-pixsspect-' hoi erpre** viouslj- sunk 25 feet from the surface in ore, so that practically some 50 feet in- depth of ore occur in these western -v"brkings. Assays of average samples returned $21.60, with values principally in copper. An upraise is to be made from the end of the east crosscut to connect with a prospect shaft in which some nice looking copper ore was met with. About 15 men are now on the payroll at this mine. " The raise from the 100-foot level of the Snowshoe mine to the surface has been completed and a station is now being cut out on. the level, preparatory to resuming", development work at the 200-foot level as soon as the new 70- horse power boiler, daily expected, shall have arrived at the mine and been instelled. The crosscut tunnel, -below-the-raihvay-line^was-last^-week in 235 feet and was being further extended. At 180 feet in a crosscut has been starte:!, to determine the width of the ore at that point. There were 25 men on the pay roll with a probability of an increase after additional power shall have been provided. WELLINGTON CAMP. There is an increase in output from Wellington camp to report for July, the Golden Crown having sent out 36 cars of ore during the month. Work in this mine is still restricted to stoping and hoisting ore from the 100-foot level. The Winnipeg continues to ship from three to four cars of ore per week. No new development has yet taken place at the 100-foot level, at which a crosscut is being run with the expectation of cutting the shoot of good,grade ore occurring at the 50-foot lovel. Ore is still being obtaind on the 50-foot level and from the open cut alongside the railway spur. There is little change at the Athelstan, but some nice ore is being opened up on the J. and R. where a prospect shaft is now being sunk. Nothing is being done just now on the Hartford. SUMMIT CAMP. The report lately published in several newspapers that the ledge had been cut on the Mountain View is incorrect. The rock being passed through is more or less mineralized, but no ore has yet been encountered in the crosscut. Work is being continued though, it being thought that there is ore not far ahead. Better results have been obtained on -the R. Bell, where the' cross cut from the vertical shaft, at the 80- '# Wi .���^ssssasege&gsgeg&e&tjc-tg^ City 61eaning$ *Sg-:6'g-g-S-e'g-6l-i F. H.

The attendance was good and the proceedings which included vocal and instrumental music and dancing*, were much enjoyed. Forest fires have been prevalent in the district lately. One got a good hold on the mountain across the Kettle river from Midway. Another burned fiercely near Eholt for several days; and still another in the woods between Skylark camp and Phoenix. A prospector named Fidele H. Gag non, 37 years of age, died rather suddenly at his camp near Eholt last Thursday. Dr. Kingston cei titled that the cause of death was epileptiform convulsions. The body was interred at Greenwood on Saturday afternoon. (Coutiimed on I'ag-e 3.) W. H. Norris, of Midway, spent two or three days in the city last week.

Premier Dunsmuir has already given ' an earnest of his intention to observe public opinion in the matter of restricting-Chinese and Japanese immigration. He has dismissed Chinese employees from his own mines, but in order that the public may have some assurance that his political actions should be aloiiy the same lines he should discipline his supporters in the railway committee. At a recent-meeting of the committee an amendment to the bill incorporating: the Vancouver & New Westminster railway was - moved by Mr. Mclnnes. This amendment provided that - no person should be employed in thc operation or construction of the railway who could not read the act of incorporation in a European-, .language or whose name was uot on the register of voters, or nnless he was a Caucasian or Indian. This amendment was of course intended jprhuarily to include 'Chinese and Japanese from employment on thc railway. The amendment was strongly opposed by Mr. McPhillips of Victoria and others. After a long discussion a yote was taken and 'the amendment was declared carried on the following- division. For���Messrs. Brown, Curtis, Gil- moure, Kidd, Martin, Mclnnes, Oliver, Smith, Stables���9.< Against���Messrs. Fulton, Garden, Hunter, McPhillips, Mounce, Murphy���7.

This vote is certainly a very instructing one and indicates very clearly who are thc strong opponents of Chinese and Japanese and who are, in spite of their protestations to the contrary, favorable to these undesirable im- migrants. ASSOCIATED BOARD OF TRADE. The meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade was most successful. The Associated Boards represent the business men of Kootenay and Yale and the resolutions which were adopted 'in convention should have the earnest consideration of thc government. < liven wood is to be congratulated upon having the convention early next year aiul The Times feels sure that the representative business men who will be present will receive a cordial welcome from the citizens.

A municipality, like an individual, can always see many excellent opportunities for the investment of money, but the former is much less likely to appreciate tie fact that it has gone as far as the safety or profit line in investments, and should go no further until it has realized on former outlays. The facility with which "a municipality can* goTh'to debt is apt to obscure this truth. It is often obvious that a certain expenditure will increase the value of some municipal property. But it is not so obvious, though quite as true, that the expenditure contemplated must lessen the value of .all other municipal .property. Every, addition to the debt of a municipality lessens the purchases iu the stores, lessens the deinand for manufactured goods,'and depresses propc*rtionately every line of business. It is not the average burden, but the total burden, that falls on the productive activities of the municipality. If all the customers, of a certain merchant should make a slight reduction in their weekly purchases it might ruin his business. The average reduction might be slight, but the aggregate enormous. And if this general reduction in purchases is due to -taxation through excessive municipal debt, the burden may' be sufficient to turn the balance between progress and retro- .R_____sloii_._���^ i^ .

This is being- drifted on in the expectation that any day similar good ore to that showing in the open cut, higher up the hill, may come in. This drift will give a vertical depth of about 157 feet. The B. C. mine maintained an average daily output of more than 60 tons during July, the quantity of ore sent to the smelter during the month having totalled 1,900 tons. Ore was raised from all three levels. The old shaft house was taken down and a new building 30x70, to include changing room, store room and shaft house, is being erected. The main shaft, now down 272 feet, is to be sunk deeper and other development work is to be undertaken, besides raising sufficient ore to provide for working expenses. The cage will shortly be put in and thereafter it will be practicable to raise 100 tons of ore per diem without interfering with the progress of development work. DEADWOOD CAMP. Two specially important developments took place in this camp last month, viz., the cutting of ore in quantity at the 300-foot level of the Mother L be looked for after the development work above referred to shall have been finished. Work on the Majestic company's Lexington claim has for several weeks past been chieily surface prospecting, the tunnel being very wet at this time of year. The Ethiopia is the only property at present working in Long Lake camp, excepting, of course, claims upon which the customary assessments are b.ing done. A crosscut is being run at the 100-foot level of the Rambler, at Pass creek, where indications are favorable for a body of good ore being shortly encountered. There is little worthy of particular mention being done in the other camps of the district. who arrived in the -city from Camp McKinney last Wednesday evening, it was ascertained that matters appear to be progressing favorably at the Cariboo mine, which is at present the only mine in Camp McKinney upon which much work is being done right along. The vein has been followed in the Cariboo company's Okanagan claim at the 400-foot level for 350 feet without a break. The ore, too, has been satisfactory, both as regards quantity and quality. The vein runs from six to eight feet in width and carries good gold values. Earlier experience at shallower levels of the mine was lhat the ore was not continuous and the breaks met with in the vein added to the cost of mining without proportionate results in the gold yield being obtained. Now it appears, the lead improves as depth is gained, so that a profitable future seems to be assured to the mine. Between 50 aud 60 men are regularly employed, this pay roll being CampMcKinney's present mainstay. It is probable that the Sailor Consolidated company, which now owns the Minnehaha and other claims in the vicinity as well as the Sailor, will shortly resume work. There-is also some talk of the Lemon company starting up again before long. Jay P. Graves and M. Yolen Williams managing director, and mining superintendent, respectively, of the Miner- Graves companies, have let a contract to Smith Bros., contractors, of Greenwood, for the* erection of a business block at Phoenix. The site is immediately opposite 'the Old Ironsides hotel and the cost of the building will, il is stated, be about $5,000. 'Albert Blair, a miner,' met with an accident in the Golden Crown mine last Sunday night. After taking out of the bucket a lot of steelthat had been sent up from below he was returning by the ladder to the 100-foot level when, thinking he had reached the bottom of the ladder, he let go his hold. He was still three or four feet froin the station, though, so he fell heavily, breaking the large bone of his right leg about midway between the knee and foot. Dr. BoncheVof Phoenix was summoned to attend the unfortunate man, and next ; morning Superin- dent.W. J. Porter drove him down to the Greenwood hospital, ' where he is now under the care of the mine surgeons, Drs. Jakes and Oppenheimer. MINERAL ACT. . Certificate of Improvements.

This system of smelting gold, silver and copper ores allows a high per cent of silica and utilizes the waste heat of the furnace to produce the hot blast, thereby largely decreasing the cost of smelting the ores. Another great advantage and saving is that the ore may be dumped direct from the mine cars into the furnace bins. These advantages will allow the company to smelt at less expenses than by any other sj-stem and ensure large dividends. Mr. Laidlaw aud his solicitor, A. M. Whiteside, went to Boundary Falls today in connection with a site for the smelter. Negotiations are well advanced to secure an ideal site and Mr. I/aidlaw expects to be able to make a definite announcement in a few days. LOCAL NEWS Mellville Parry of Nelson is in the city. Robert Wood returned on Saturday from a trip to the coast. Donald A. Ross, manager of the Sailor company, is at the Imperial.- Duncan Mcintosh returned on-Saturday from a business trip to Spokane. , *#<.*�����##����������##***#�������� #^#��t#^����-��^-<��-i>��-i��-^-����#-����##^^-^��^^^>^^#^^^^^^^ BIG SMELTER Will Shortly Be Erected Near Greenwood BY THE STANDARD COPPER Company, of Which Andrew Laidlaw Is General Manager���He is $t Present in the City and Will Select a Site. Andrew L,aidlaw, of the firmof Mas- sam & Laidlaw, arrived in the city Monday evening and registered at the Armstrong. He is accompanied by Mrs. Laidlaw and will remain in the district for several weeks. Mr. Laid- _law will open an office in the city as his company, the Standard Copper company, intends beginning the erection of the pyritic smelter at an early date. Shortly after leaving here last winter Mr. Laidlaw went to Denver and Leadville to watch the operations of ^ytitic "s'melteVs" there and "also to see the results of the tests made of Boundary ore. These tests were satisfactory in every way. In Colorado ore running from $3.50 to $12 a ton is treated at a profit. The conditions here are still more favorable as the ore is practically self-fluxing, and in any event, lime can be secured here at a lower cost than in Denver. Mr. Laidlaw is not at liberty to publish the assays and analyses of the ores from the ���different properties, but the average analysis per ton of ores shipped to Leadville from the Mother Lode, B. C. and Golden Crown mines, was as follows: Gold at $20 per oz $ 8:80 Silver at 60c per oz 1.22 Copper at 16c per lb., 4.4 percent 14.08 Total - .$24.10 Per Cent. Iron '. :.27.1 Silica �� 28.4 Zinc 7 Sulphur .-. 17.2 Iu addition to the above assays and analyses were obtained on ore from the following properties: Oro Denoro, Summit camp; Humming Bird, Brown's camp; Pathfinder, Brown's camp; Lily K. and Twins, Brown's camp; Winnipeg, Wellington camp; Strawberry, Summit camp; Sunset, Deadwood camp; Bab, Bunker Hill, Florence, Golden Eagle, Brown's camp; Standard, Dead- wood camp; Marguerite, Deadwood camp; Phoenix, Deadwood camp; Hesperus, Wellington camp; Morrison, Deadwood camp; R. Bell, Summit camp; Jim, Wellington, camp; Greyhound, Deadwood; Buckhorn, Dead- wood camp; Hartford, Wellington camp: Athelstan, Wellington camp and others, In every case the analysis showed them to be well suited for pyritic smelting, and in some instances even better than the ores shipped to Leadville. They are greatly superior to the ores being treated regularly by the pyritic process at Leadville which will not run above % of one per cent copper on an average and which will not average better than $10. to the. ton. A. B. -C. .Davis, manager of the Standard Smelting Compay, Denver, had this to say in reference to the samples sent by Mr. Laidlaw : "Replying to your interrogatory regarding the 10 samples of ore assayed and analyzed by me, as to their adaptability to the pyritic or copper matting process, will say that I encountered nothing in any of said samples that would render them objectional for said process. As a matter of fact they are highly desirable, and I might especially emphasize the fact regarding the R.' Bell, t Marguerite. Hospertts and Phoenix samples. With the possible addition of a small per cent of lime they would appear to be; self-fluxing. The opinion is based on actual connection with pyritic or matte smelting for the past three years in the capacity of assayer, chemist and metallurgist of. the Cleopatra smelter, at Ouray, Colorado, the Beuna Vista S. & R. Company, and the Boston Gold-Copper Smelting Company at Leadville, Colorado." With so much encouragement from smelter*' 'returns^ and" 'owning-such- promising properties as the Marguerite and Standard, Mr. Laidlaw had no difficulty in interesting strong financial men in Quebec in the Standard Copper "fcompany. The president of the company is Wm. Price, a millionaire lumber merchant, Hon. Ade- lard Turgeon, minister of colonization and mines, Quebec, is vice president, and H. T. Machin, assistant provincial treasurer, is treasurer. The capital of the company is $500,000, assessable to par, and the registered office of the company is in Greenwood. A few days ago the company paid J. P. Harlan and Dr. MacMartin, New York, $11,250, the final payment on the Marguerite. The order for the pyritic smelting plant was on June 21st placed with .the Denver Engineering- Works. The plant has a guaranteed capacity of 200 tons daily, but Mr. Laidlaw has made arragements for a power plant of double that capacity and the building will be erected for a 400 ton smelter. Where is the new smelter going? Grand Forks, of course, claimed it from the start, but the Times is in the position to announce that the smelter o the Standard Copper company will h* erected on Boundary creek at no great distance from Greenwood. The exact location has not yet been determined, but it will probably be Boundary Falls about three miles below the city. When the smelter is in running order it will employ from 60 to 100 men. Its operation will mean much for the city of Greenwood. The Standard Copper comoany, limited, has by contract with the patentees secured the exclusive right to erect and operate the Standard Hot and Cold Blast Pyritic furnaces in the Geo. B. Mechem and family, were at the Imperial this week. Mr. Mechem and boys left for Denver, Col.

McPherson Bros', sawmill at Boundary Falls was destroyed by fire last Monday night, resulting in a loss of $7,000, without insurance. The mill was working up to 5 o'clock Monday afternoon and the men were around the mill until 10:30 ut night. The fire started about 11:30 and there being no appliances for fighting fire, it was soon burnt to the ground. The machinery is badly damaged but certain portions of it can be repaired anil again used. McPherson Bros, intend to rebuild the mill at once. Already orders have been placed for the additional machinery required and the firm expect to have everything in shape in about 30 days, Kk!ik!!M!! YARD AT DEADWOOD, B.C.
