"The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day."@en . ""@en .

Ltd., Relative to the Purchase of Machinery for the Big Smelter. The Progress of the Work. Spur Lines will be Built. Mr. Paul Johnson, superintendent of the British Columbia Copper Company, L/imited, left on Thursday for New. York. He will meet the directors of the British Columbia Copper Company, Limited, and discuss With them the purchase of machinery for. the big smelter. Mr. Johnson has already received several offers \"for,'the. necessary plant and he and .the directorate of the company- will make the selecticn. ; Before leaving Mr. Johnson was good enough to show a Times representative the work already accomplished. The progress made in the last two. weeks has been remarkable' considering that the work had been carried oil under the disadvantage of exceedingly wet weather.; The ; solid stone retaining wall is being continued up to the stack at the summit of site. This.wall when completed will be,oyerT700 feet in length. The top of the stack, will be 275 feet above the furnace. The stack itself will be ISO feet in height. Mr- John- sou states emphatically that the stack is of. sufficiently high elevation to insure no inconvieuce to the citizens of Greenwood from the fumes. Everything of this nature will' pass high above the.city. '-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe- company have deposited with Canadian Pacific railway the amount of money required before the latter company would' undertake the construction, of the three \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDpur lines to the smelter site. The .first spur .wiilicome in at the 155 foot level, on the site. This spurwillrun to the stock ore bins where the-ore cars will be dumped. The . second spur will be on the 95 foot level and over it will come the coke and coal for the furnaces. The third spur will be on the level of the main line and will be utilized to carry away matte, copper bullion or whatever the product of the smelter may be. Good progress has been made in the carpenter, and blacksmiths, shops and other building's for the workmen. The boiler room, engine room and other buildings for the machinery will be erected, immediately. In addition to being a smelter superintendent Mr. Johnson is an inventor and has succeeded in perfecting a sampling mill that removes all the objections smelting men heretofore had to mechanical smelters. Mr. Johnson's invention has been patented by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco; and one of those samplers will be used at, the Greenwood smelter, Mr. Johnson ... has not i-the slightest doubt, regard ing its success. Smelter men have preferred hand sampling to mechanical samplers because there was great difficulty in cleaning a mechanic-, al sampler and conseqnently there was always a danger that the value of the ore sampled might be affected by ore of higlfer or lower grade which had previously passed through the sampler! Mr. Johnson's hew sampler can be cleaned without waste of time and with but little effort. It can readily be seen that a mechanical sampler is far more accurate than the work done by hand; The mechanical sampler chooses no- pieces, each time selecting a fifth part of the ore as it comes along. The sampler also possesses the additional advantage of grinding all the ore by gravity. It has a capacity of 300 tons in ten hours and of this amount only 12 tons or four, per cent has to be raised. This means a great saving ofr labor and machinery. As the work proceeds it becomes more apparent that the site selected for the smelter is an ideal one. . The series of benches from the main line of the C. P. R. up to the Deadwood camp spur were evidently intended for nothing else than a smelter site.\" From the ore bins with their capacity of 4,000 tons through the sampling mills, on through the ore mixing bins and into the furnace, the' system is a-perfect gravity .one. The site can also boast of the advantage of economical railway facilities. Spur lines can be built cheaply and ore, fuel and supplies of all' kinds can be handled at a minimum cost.

Several of the buildings for the smelter have been completed. In addition to these two handsome brick residences have been- erected near the smelter; cottages for the men will be constructed across the river from the smelter and a bridge will be built so that the men can go to and from their work: Porter' Bros, have the contract for the dam, one mile above the smelter. Owing to high water this week .it is rather difficult, but the contractors have successfully met difficulties uefore and they are confident they will succeed in completing their contract. ' ',''... The spur line to the smelter is being- constructed by P. Welch & Co. The construction includes some'heavy rock work along the North Fork. Already a large force of men are engaged. The Hotel Armstrong is the first-class hotel in Greenwood. only THE CITY COUNCIL Recommended, Sold and Guarranteed by... Smith & McRae, Business Transacted at the Regular Meeting Monday Night. Mayor Hardy aud Aldermen Galloway, Sutherland and Fisher were the members present at the regular meeting- of the city council on Wednesday evening. C. B'rethour wanted the position of superintendent of waterworks but his letter was filed. Messrs- Pringle & Whiteside, acting for the Greenwood Trading Co., wrote in reference to alley way between Copper and Silver streets. The council decided to offer the Greenwood Trading Co. and Mr. Fisher S7.50 a foot for the land required for alley through their lots. Alderman Fisher strongly objected. A. M. Rice advised the city regarding a 1,000 pound bell for sale in Toronto. Police Magistrate Hallett was granted six weeks leave of absence. Bourke & Sera of the Ottawa house complained of a crossing near their premises. The question of granting, compensation to W. G. Gaunce for injuries was deferred a week. Tenders will be called for 400 feet of additional steel rails. The council endorsed the petition to the government re olli-es in Greenwood. \" The smelter bonus an-:! other by-laws were advanced a stage. The city clerk was asked to write the attorney-general suggesting a saving | of expense by allowing prisoners to be j delivered at Nelson instead of Ka:i;- loops. a* p> H \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD4 Ben to SSL \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*.- THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES.

Rock Creek is situated half between Greenwocd and Camp McKinney, arid within three miles of the international boundary line. After journeying- eig-ht or nine miles up the main Kettle river, one reaches the mouth of the West Fork, which makes its exit into the larger stream between two precepitous bluffs. Near this junction are found two infant villages,, Bridgeport and Westbridge. The later place has a few log cabins, a general store and a log hotel, where the traveler may get good frontier accommodation. Shortly after leaving Westbridge the completed wagon road ends, and the traveler takes to the trail, with branch trails to the various camps along the route. The trip up this trail I made with Mr. George Leyson, the discoverer of Rossland camp, and also the the first man to find mineral in what is now Copper camp, in the Boundary country. It was in 1897, while traveling up the Dewdney trail, that he staked out the Lily May, and sampled some ore on Red mountain in what is now the metropolis of the Trail creek district. In onr party was also Mr. George ' McClung, who, in the same year, helped to outfit the men who found and brought to light the treasuries of Camp McKinney. The first group of properties of note which one comes to in ascending the West Fork is kuown as Kelly camp, which lies six miles from. Westbridge, and includes the W. S. claim, a gold quartz proposition owned by M. Robert Wood, Mr. C. S. Galloway and Mr. Louis Bosshart, of Greenwood. An adjoining property has been bonded by a mining expert named Cummings, who at the time of my visit was taking in a pack train of supplies to open it UP- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.'...'\"'' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ~ Q '-.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Just across the river from Kelly camp is Boomerang camp, in which 30 claims have been staked out. Boomerang camp is really an extension to Kelly camp. A few miles up the river and at the south side , of it, some Frenchmen are at work on Nelse creek. A. few' miles farther up the' stream one enters into the midst of a series of mineral belts, upon which some base the prophecy that here w ill be found a region equal to the Boundary Creek country. At a point some 25 or 30 miles from Westbridge, Beaver creek flows into the West Fork, and near this junction the river valley widens out into a mile or more of beautiful level land, timbered in places with pine, spruce and hemlock. Upon this lowland plain a number of ranches have been taken . up, and in the. midst of these some enterprising parties have plotted out the site of a town, which they call' Beaverton, and which they say, will almost, if not altogether equal Greenwood. During my stay at Beaverton I was the guest of Mr. Thomas Curry, who came into the, district a decade or so ago, and built himself a one-roomed log cabin. In this primitive abode he lives still, and he has never seen a trolley car nor an electric light. It is 25 years since he visited a decent-sized town, and Spokane consisted of only one house when he passed it on his way to British Columbia. - But while he has missed the advantages of civilization, he has established the foundation of what may prove to be a good- sized fortune. He has staked out, partially developed and is interested in some of the best looking properties on Beaver creek, and he expects before long to make a clean-up. The camps which may be said to be tributary to Beaverton are ten in num- bur, and they all lie within from on': mile to nine or ten miles from the townsite. In the hills immediately to the west of the place are the following camps: The Arlington Hill, Hen- nessy's,. King Solomon, Carmi, and Cranberry creek, while in the hig-hts to the east lie Murray's,or Triple Eake, Curry's, Hills, Washington-and Beaver Mountain camps. King Solomon camp, one of those mentioned, lies on a side hill within two miles of Beaverton, and consists of a promising group of claims, upon which are found several good-sized and well-defined quartz ledges carrying copper, iron pyrites and gold and silver values. One of the most prominent of these claims is the King Solomon group, including the King Solomon and Queen of Sheba locations and the Codtinued on page 3. Just Opened j& PHOENIX A. P. McKenzie & Co.

SEAGRAM'S R. P. Thos. McDonnell. %r The Rich West Fork. Continued from Page 2. Jumbo fraction, 120 acres in all, owned by John Olson, M. Phelan and F. Chadler, all of Greenwood. The King Solomon property boasts of' three parallel leads, 6, 5 a.nd.iyi feet wide, on the surface,, respectively. ; The widest of these, which is a very strongly defined ledge of clear quartz bounded by excellent walls, is--being developed by means of a shaft, prospecting tunnel and test pits, which workings have proven the vein to a certain extent for a distance of 500 feet. The' shaft, which is down, 25 feet or so, has 6% feet of ore in the bottom. This vein is very heavily mineralited. The five-foot vein has also been prospected to a limited'extent', and it is found to carry a narrow pay-streak of galena, assaying as high as $70,to the ton. I am given to understand that an offer of $35,000 for a working bond on the , property, has recently been? refused by the owners. , A very good looking property, which lies, at the summit of the hill near the King Solomon group, is known as the Paymaster. This property, in which Mr. Robert Wood of ,Greenwqod owns a half interest, is controlled by the'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD. Vancouver and Boundary. Creek Development and Mining company. This corporation j by the way, is one of the largest interested in the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD West Fprk district, and it controls some of, the most promising prospects around Beaverton. This company, which ,1 have mentioned in previous letters as owning; property . in\".-, .the; Boundary Creek and Penticton districts, is an organization formed on similar lines to those upon which the Toronto and Western company of Toronto was incorporated. .It owns or controls a long list of 'mining clairris,which it promises to float as subsidary companies, if on development they take the status of mines. The corporation was organized by Mr. Robert Wood, the pioneer, and father of Greenwood, and one of the best known, most successful and most highly respected citizen of British Co lumbia. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD It has a capitalization of $500,000, divided into 2,000,000, shares of the par value of 25 cents each, and so far hardly any stock has been sold, the original members of the company having found it possible to carry on their development work so far unaided. In fact less than 11,000 shares have been issued, to raise funds to acquire the properties owned and for work done and money expended thereon,and the balance of the two million shares remains in: the treasury of the company. Two unique features of the company are that no promoters' stock was issued and that the properties acquired were secured at actual market values. The Vancouver and Boundary Creek company, as already noted, has numerous properties in other districts, than the West Fork, which; have been mentioned, or will be mentioned, in these series of mining letters. In this communication, however, only those locations in the vicinity of Beaverton will be taken up. The Paymaster, which is controlled by this company, has been bonded for $20,000 to an English company, who are carrying development work upon it. I visited the location and found a ledge of quartz, three or four feet wide on the surface, 'opened up by a shaft and test pits for a considerable distance. The shaft is down 35 feet and at. the bottom the ledge is well mineralized with iron pyrites and galena, with good gold values. The other properties on the West Fork in which the Vancouver and Boundary Creek company .\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD is interested will be mentioned as I come to them in the course of my tour of the region. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Some miles to the north of King Solomon camp lies Arlington Hill camp, in which the chief property consists of four claims, owned by Mr. F. A B:elenberg of Greenwood. The group boasts a fine strong lead carrying copper pyrites and said to assay $6 in gold and 7 per cent in copper on the average. The adjoining location, the Montana by name, is owned by Mr. W. L. C- Gordon and Mr. H. Strauss, of Midway. It has a qnartz ledge in a dyke of horneblend and carries copper values. A number of other locations on the Arlington hill boast good showings. Between King Solomon camp and Arlington hill is found Hennessey's camp, in which the best known prop- erta is trie Knob Hill. I did not visit Hennessey's camp, but I am told that the Knob Hill has good surface showings. The Rosa Lee, a claim owned by Mr. Robert Wood of Greenwood, is also located here. To the south of King Solomon camp. and a short distance to the west of; Beaverton, lies Carnii camp. The! DrUgglSt chief property in this group is the Carmi, which lies'a quarter of a mile from the main trail to Penticton. It is owned by Jim Dale and Jas. Kerr of Beaverton, and has been bonded to Lennie Brothers of the Coiier d'Alene for $25,000. The property has a six- foot ledge carrying pyrrhotite, galena and copper pyrites. Tht shaft is being sunk and machinery is being brought in to facilitate development. In the same direction from Beaverton lies a prospect known as the Empire. This, is owned by E. A.

Duncan Ross...... W. J. HakuekI.:.. Editor ..Manager SATURDAY, DECEMBER, 2, 1899. THE C. P. R. EXCURSION. Tin; Canadian Pacific Railway company are acting' wisely in giving the 1 usiness men of Victoria and Vancouver an opportunity to visit Kootenay and Boundary Creek. The business men of the coastcities would do well to. avail themselves of the opportunity. They are a shrewd, enterpris- , ing men, but they require education along certain lines. They have missed opportunities to expand the trade of the coast cities because many of them failed to realize that the whole of the r.r .vince was' not along the sea coast. Eastern merchants have secured the bulk of the trade, not because they furnished better goods or better prices; not because the C. P. R. quoted them more favorable freight rates,' but because they gave the mining districts of southern British Columbia closer attention than did the coast merchants. If this province is shortly to attain the leading' position in the Domtnion, a position that justly belongs it because of its great natural resources\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe piop'.e should show less sectionalism and more patriotism. Victoria and Vancouver can materially assist in the development of the wonderful mineral resources of the Boundary Creek country. The Boundary Creek country can increase the trade of the coast cities. Today Victoria money is mildewing in Victoria banks while Boundary money goes to the wholesalers of Toronto and Montreal. There is no good reason why Victoria capitalists should not invest-their money in Boundary Creek, and no better reason why Boundary Creek merchants should not purchase 'from coast wholesalers. Trade can be fostered and cultivated. The coast merchants who come on the C. P. R. excursion will receive a hearty welcome. Past difficulties will be for- c gotten. \"They will be.able to see some of the biggest mines on the continent. They can talk business to some of the most enterprising business men in the province. They can satisfy themselves that they have missed a splendid opportunity to reach out for profitable trade, and they can arrive at a determination that so far as they are concerned they will do everything in their power to encourage the development of one of the richest sections of the province. They will find the residents ready to reciprocate their good intentions. East and \"west, coast and interior will be bound more closely together and a united province will work out that glorious destiny that is in store for British Columbia. Bank of Montreal- No better criterion of the rapid growth and. development of this country can be found than the showing made by a financial institution which has been closely associated with busi ness interests of the country and which has. always been found in the vanguard of progress. The statement of the Bank ef Montreal for the half year ending October 31st indicates not only that this great banking institution is itself doing an increasing and profitable business, but that as the bank's interests extends throughout the Dominion, it also shows that the trade and commerce of the country was never in a more flourishing condition than during the present year. Notwithstanding the reduced rateS'Of iiterest for money, which have prevailed of late years, making it a difficult task to obtain the same returns as formerly, the hank has earned its standard rate oi dividend live per cent for the six months, an\" has been enabled to make an addition to the already large amount to the credit of profit and loss. The net profits for the six months were $658,161, and exceeding those for the corresponding period of last year by 5529,023. After payment of a dividend of five per cent for the period there remained $58,151, which with the balance of profit and loss account on the 30th of April last brought up the balance at the end of October last to the large sum of SI,160,- 954. This is an increase of $179,626. The balance of profit and loss carried forward for the new half year is equal to 963^ per cent of the total dividend at the rate of ten per cent for the current year. The next ha.f yearly dividend is not only in hand, but there.is an addition thereto the sum of S560.954, c f unappropriated profits. The total liabilities of the bank to the public are S.j.634,608. an increase ol c 13,536,285, and the total assets are S83,3^7,384, an increase of $13, 715,791. The circulation of the bank's notes which is $7,- 153,857 has an increase of 838,640, and deposits amount to $56,479,963 showing an increase of $12,718,135. Of these $12,628,385 do not bear interest, and $43,851,570 are interest bearing, the increase in the former being $451,- 622, and that in the latter $12,266,513; Current loans have an expansion of $7,313,177, the total of these being $46,- 198,959. A special feature is the small amount of byerdue debts $34,834, in which there is a reduction of $17;768. A strong feature of the statement is the large amonnt of assets which are -in- mediately available, the amount standing at $36,524,138. In this too there is an increase from last year, the amount of the increase being $6,433,891. It will be noticed that the Bank of Montreal has no call loans. This half yearly statement is one., which should be very satisfactory to the shareholders inasmuch as the regular dividend of five per cent is more than earned; thus doing away with the necessity of im-: pinging upon \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe reserve fund, which still stands at $6,000,000. , Address Wanted.

It is being constructed with an incline towards the mouth of six inches in every-100 feet. This dip enables the muckers to handle their loaded ore cars by gravitation, and the slight incline also serves to drain the working The examination of the interior of this big' working is an interesting operation. It cuts through country rock of diorite and gneiss, interspersed with dykes of porpliyritic quartz. Up to date the tunnel has cut about a dozen of the ledges which outcrop'on, the surface and some. lesser blind stringers besides. The veins thus intersected appear to vary'trom a few inches to forty feet in width, the wider ledgesconsisting of bodies of quartz intermingled largely with losses of country rock. ' , The quartz.carries iron pyrites and some free gold. As to; values, I am informed by the management that an average'of the actual ore already intersected by the tunnel is about $25 to the ton. It is also 'stated that average samples taken from the thirty out- crpppirigs on the top of .'the hill went about $16 to the'ton. In mentioning these values, however, I am simply quoting others. w. c \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD c \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ^/%s \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*i/ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD/Qs WD cannot say too much about our Clothing- Stock, the strongest emphasis we can give it.

Smith, the traveling representative of- the, Toronto World, who has spent several weeks in visiting the different mining camps of the west, has just taken in the Palmer Mountain district, and gives it in the following interesting write up : 1 Loomis, the central point in this district, is a settlement of 200- people, which before the general financial crash of the early '90s experienced a mining boom on a small scale, and it is now springing into prominence again. It has the reckless atmosphere of the small American mining camp, and constitutes a stamping ground for a little crowd of tin-horn gamblers and would-be bad men. Several hotels, saloons and general stores are now driving a lively trade. The chief interest in the camp centers in an undertaking of considerable note from the mining engineer's standpoint. I refer to what is known as the Palmer Mountain tunnel. Front the valley of Sinalegan creek near Loomis. Palmer mountain rears its head 4,200 feet into the air, and some 5,000 feet above the sea level. Upon one slope of this height, between the base and the summit, are located some fortj'- four mineral claims, forty-two of which are owned by one. company. Running across these claims upon the side hill have' been unearthed some thirty parallel quartz ledges. The whole mountain is thus ribbed with leads, and it is to tap these that the tunnel is being driven by an organization known as the Palmer Mountain Gold Mining and Tunnel company. This tunnel, which is now in 2,400 feet, has already attained a vertical depth of 1.000 feet. It is'to be driven in all 8,600 feet until it comes under the apex of the' mountain where it will give a back on the ore bodies there tapped of 4,200 feet. In other words, the tunnel, if successful, will be one and a half miles long and will give a maximum depth of three- quarters of a mile of ore. Judging from the dimensions of this tunnel and the character of the work being done in it the management proposes to make it a permanent affair. It is from 8 to 18 feet in width and is and Ah Ling, who have a shaft down 18 feet. They have not yet ;gotten through the iron capping which at- 'trac.ted_them to the location, but. they are sinking further to ascertain' what they have. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD A little further to the south lie the Maud M. and Mary K. claims,iii which Mrs. Robert Wood of Greenwood, owns a half' interest. These claims have good quartz ledges. Still farther to,the south, upon Cranberry creek, a tributary to the West Fork, is found another, promising mineral belt. The best known properties in this camp are, perhaps, the Boston, Toronto and St. Louis locations, known as the Boston group. These' are owned' by Messrs. J. A. Cameron, D.R. Campbell, A, Branson and John Gradin of Greenwood. This group boasts of a quartz ledge 18 feet wide, on the''surface,' carrying a six- foot pay-streak of ore, which is said to assay over $8 in gold and silver. The. tunnel,, which is being .driven from a side hill to cut the ledge at a depth of 60 feet, is now in 45 feet, and is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Having; now: disposed of the camps lying to the west of Beavertoti, I will next note the chief belts found ; in. the hills.to the east of the townsite^ Of these, the most northerly, and 12 or 15 miles distant, is Triple Lake or Murray's camp. Among the properties in Triple Lake cemp is the Siver Dollar, owned by Messrs. Peterson and Newman. It has a fourteen-foot ledge of quartz, carrying arsenical iron aud good values. The Barnato claim has a four-foot ledge of arsenical iron,'anil the Mogul a quartz lsdge carrying iron and copper'pyrites. A claim known as the Kingston is owned by Mr. Robert Wood of Greenwood. It has a four-foot ledge-of arsenical iron which is said to,assay $15 to the ton in gold on ah . average. The same location boasts a quartz lead carrying telluride ores, picked samples of which have run from S72 to $124 to the ton in gold. The Boston, an adjoining . claim, is owned by the same parties, and the Foot Hill, controlled by H. Strauss and S. Bannerman, has an eight-foot quartz ledge which is said to run $14 in gold to the ton. The O. K. group includes several properties, and boasts a wide surface showing of pyrrhotite, assaying S3 to $15 on the surface. The group is owned by Messrs. Matthewson and Thorne. Another group of properties lying to the northeast of Beaverton is known as China Creek camp, situated upon China creek. A mining expert by the by the name of Roberts, representing OORNER COPPER AND DEADWOOD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDT. English capital, has secured the Butte and Helen, two claims boasting an eight-foot ledge of magnetic iron,-car- rying copper and gold. Close to this property is the .Devlin location, which is said to have the same ledge, but upon which no development work has been done. This property is owned by Joseph A. Devlin and J. H. Bramlett. Some miles to the south, and within a ct-uple of miles northeast of Beaverton, is Hill's camp, the chief property in which, is the Sixteen to. One. This property is held at $15,000 cash. I now come to Curry's camp, lying on Curry creek, within a mile or so due east of Beaverton, and, judging from surface indications, one of'the best camps in the Beaver Creek country. The properties in this camp, nine or ten in number, are situated on either side of the deep gulch through which Curry : creek runs, and they jare so situated as to form first-class tunnel propositions. Along the creek, moreover, can easily be' constructed a wagbn rdad.leading up to the claims. The surface indications in- 'this 'camp are first-class. Quartz ledges and out- croppings of pyrrhotite and iron cap- pings are numerous. One group; of claims in this camp includes the Com- stock, Mayflower, Atlantic Cable, Yellow Rose, and Iron Horse. These are owned by Mr. Robert Wood of Greenwood, Mrs. Ida G. Thompson of Midway, and Thomas Currj- and Ah Ling <>f Beaverton, and. they have recently tittan bondel for a large figure. The Comstock, which lies on both oidos' of Curry gulch, has a five-foot ledt;o of quartz and decomposed vein .natter, carrying iron and copper pyrities and galena, with values chiefly in gold and silver. An incline shaft has been run in 20 feet on this deposit, but the ledge has not yet been gotten in place. Upon the same claim is found another extensive showing of quartz. The Mayflower hasa ledge from four and half to five feet wide, composed of bluish-gray quartz, carrying arsenical iron and occasionally panning gold. This ledge has been traced for 400 feet and the gold values are said to be good. The Atlantic Gable has good surface indications, consisting chiefly of a strong iron capping, through which a shaft has been run down 25 feet. It shows up a ledge of pyrrhotite and Codtinued on pajre 6 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDg= ed on Sunday, August 13th \"*$?\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' MEALS AT ALL HOURS.

Continued from page 5. and quartz carrying gold values. The ledge is found in place on the foot-wall and varies in width from one to three feet all the way down the working. What is apparently the same deposit has been opened up at two other points within 600 feet of the shaft. These surface openings are upon a side hill and offer a good tunnel site. The Yellow Rose has upon the. top of the precepitous bluff, which crosses it, a huge outcropping of pyrrhotite 15 to 25 feet wide. The ore upon this location resembles in appearance that found in the Winnipeg mine, in Wellington camp. On the Iron Horse, another claim in the group, I saw another big outcropping of pyrrhotitie and ..iron, fully 22 feet in width. This surface showing occurs on the face of the steep side-hill overlooking Curry creek. The out- ' cropping seems to be solidly mineralized right across. Gold values as high as S25 to the ton have been gotten on this claim. Parallel with the big iron outcropping runs what is apparently an extensive ledge of white quartz, highly mineralized in places. Both these parallel ore bodies have a dip of 45 degrees.into tlie side hill, and both of them are well defined and stand out distinctly from the country rock. So far the work done upon the Iron Horse consists only of a 30-foot tunne1, run into the quartz, and a small surface shaft in the pyrrhotite. The pyrrhotite deposit has been traced for some distance across the property. The next location in this camp is called the Black Diamond. It is owned by Robert Wood, John Olson, M. J. Phelan and F. Chadler, and is under .'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\" bond to the Vancouver and Boundary Creek Development and Mining company. The claim boasts a six-foot quartz ledge outcropping on the side hill and showing galena, copper and iron pyrites. This, is a strong lead, with well defined walls, and it has been traced acr6ss the gully to the Maple Leaf. The gold values carried by this property are said to be good. The Maple Leaf, just mentioned, is owned outright by Mr. Wood of Greenwood, and, as.already indicated, it has an extension of the Black Diamond vein. The ledge upon this property is strongly defined, and has a surface width of from four to six feet. The surface development done upon this ledge shows it to be a true fissure vein, cutting the country formation of dio- rite. This lead is well: mineralized with galena and copper pyrites, and its values are chiefly in copper and gold. The Maple Leaf has two other leads. Adjoining the Maple Leaf alongside, lies the Deacon claim, owned by Thomas Curry, Mrs. Ida G. Thompson and Ah Ling. This property, which lies upon a side hill, has a network of quartz ledges from one foot to over two feet in width, and traced for some d-stance on the surface to an adjoining claim. One ledge opened up by a surface pit shows a pay streak of copper and galena. , *-.The Mountain Bell adjoining the Deacon, is owned by Thomas Curry and Ah Ling, and, like the Deacon, it has a network of small quartz ledges. Ten veins in all have been counted upon it, some running north and south, some east and west, some across and with the formation. Very little development has been done upon either the Deacon or Mountain Bell, but these together with the Maple Leaf, would make a tunnel proposition. A tunnel run from either side of the. hill, upon which the properties lie, should -tap several of the ledges. Immediately to the south of Curry camp and within a mile or so of Beaverton, lies a belt which might be designated as Washington camp, and in it last June was located a group of claims which promise to rival any deposit yet discovered in the Boundary Creek country. I refer to the \".Va.shington, Idaho and Mountain group. These properties were staked out by Messrs. R. E. Pitcher, John Marshall, A. H. Marcall and J. W. Connick. They themselves started development work upon it,with the result that within a short time they made, very near the surface, one of the most successful strikes of the year. On the Washington claim they opened up an extensive ledge of high grade pyrrhotite, galena and carbonates of lead. Assays as high as S2S in gold and S60 in silver to the ton were gotten and the find has done as much as anything else to attract attention to the West Fork district. Within three months after the staking out of the claims they were bonded for S100,000, 10 per cent, being paid down in cash by R. E. L. Brown of South Africa fame, commonly known as \"Barbarian jirown.\" The properties are located on a high elevation, probably 6,000 or j 7,000 feet above seal level, and fully 2,- I 000 feet above Beaverton, and at the time of my visit, which was made on the last day in September, a heavy snow storm was in progress. I however, was able to examine the outcrop before it was hidden by the snow. The now famous lead upon the group runs across both the Idaho and Washington claims; it occurs in diorite and is at least from 15 to 25 feet in width. It carries high grade shipping ore right on the surface. _An open cut on the Washington shows seven or eight feet of solid pyrrhotite on surface, besides an extensive outcropping of galena and carbonates of lead alongside. At the 'bottom of a 30-foot shaft on the same lead on the Idaho there is 12 feet of ore. The Montana has a parallel lead of the same character and the owners are lucky enough to have three other claims of the same character, which are said to carry the Washington,Idaho and Montana leads. Six men are employed on the property and new cabins have just been completed. '.',..' Close to the Washington-Idaho group and farther down the hill in what is known as Beaver Mountain camp, lies the ' Bell claim, owned by John Bell and others. The ledge upon this property, which is believed to be a continuation of the' Rob Roy deposit, constitutes a tunnel proposition and carries pyrrhotite and galena. The Bell property is said to be held at $60,000 by. its owners. ..\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD; One of the most promising properties that I saw in the camp is the Rob Roy owned by Robert Wood of Greenwood, and under option to the Vancouver and Boundary Creek Development and Mining company, before referred to. This property boasts two leads, one of quartz carrying iron pyrites and gold, and the other a fine led-ge of pyrrhotite and galena. The deposit, which was recently crossscut by an open working, is fully eight feet wide near the surface. The ledge matter is for the most part highly mineralized, and specimens of ore recently assayed run up into hundreds of dollars to the ton. Mr. Wood now has a gang of men building cabins aitfl sinking a shaft on this iron ledge. As already .noted this lead is believed to be the same as that which occurs on the Bell and it hasbeen traced over onto the next location, known as the Sally. The Sally is \"also owned by Mr. Wood, and bonded to the Vancouver and Boundary Creek Development and Mining company. It has the Rob Roy iron lead and also a quartz lead apparently-running into that lode. This quartz vein is four feet wide and carries a foot of galena, assaying $200 to the ton. I spent some days in the camps on the West Fork and, judging from indications, I should not be surprised if within a year or two Beaverton becomes, quite an important center and the rsurrounding camps become only secondary in importrnce to thrse tributary to Boundary CreekJ What the district immediately needs is the completion of the wagon road from Rock Creek to Beaverton,for at present the mining operations are hancicapped for the reason tha^ all supplies and machinery have to be taken in on- the backs of pack horses.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDFrank D.

The Presbyterian church .will hold . service, hereafter in Barrett's hall at 11 a. ni. and 7:30 p. m. Sunday school at 2:30 p. m. Fritz Haussener, who intended going into the wood business, was unable to secure wood choppers who would tackle dry trees and consequently decided to drop out of the business. ' The Greenwood voters' list for the year has been completed. -The reg-istered intimber of voters in the North ward are 168, aiid the South ward 213, making- a total of 381 votes. E. A. Bielenberg, the , well known mining- man, leaves for New York next week in connection with the Arlington-Burns company, whose shares will shortly be placed on the market. J. P. Harlan, one of the owners of tne Marguerite in Deadwood camp, returned tothe district this week. Mr. Harlan served with the South Dakota regiment in the Phillipines, and distinguished himself as a scout. He is now Serg-eant Harlan. A hot-air furnace is being- placed in the Methodist church this week. The furnace is a Hillborn, manufactured at Preston, Ont. The trustees of the church are determined to make the building-- comfortable whatever the cost may be. Mrs. Hattie B. Schenck, who with hertwo sons, has resided here the past summer, left this week for her home in Minnesota. Mrs. Schenck has been gaining- some credit in the literary world, which is well deserved, for she is a writer of ability. The Central camp road is nearing the No. 7 mine. Unfortunately, however, all the money subscribed by the citizens;and appropriated by the government has been exhausted. The board of trade wired the government requesting- an additional appropriation next year. Should the government promise this, the work will be continued until the road is completed. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Rev. W. A. Robins, M.

He worked for six years in the famous parish of St. Mary's Redcliffe, Bristol, where the ..majority of the people belong- to the laboring- classes. He holds services in Mrs. Foreman's hall next Sunday morning- and evening-. November was a busy month in the Greee'nwood custom house and if the volume of business transacted continues, Collector of Customs McCut- cheon must be furnished an assistant. During the month the collections amounted to 58,326.33, which compares most favorably with any of the other offices in the interior. The inland revenue departmement, which is connected with the customs office, also had a busy month. The collections were as follows: Tobacco, $127.13; malt,$185;40; spirits, $2,005.61; a total of $2,318.14. ported later, v. Col. Northcott,. Lieut.- Col. Stafford, Capt. Earle and Lieut.

An item in regard to the recent strike on the Winnipeg in the Greenwood Miner of last.week,.and copied from the Rossland Miner, is without foundation, except that the; ledg-e crosscut is 50 feet in width. A representative of theNews visited the Winnipeg on Tuesday last and was informed that T. Edgar Plewman had not been at the mine since the strike was made. No one, except persons employed in the mine, has been allowed down the shaft since President Mcintosh left for the east, so it is impossible that samples could have been taken from the ledge, or assays made. The item is very misleading, as assays heretofore have been much higher than S16 to the ton, and there is no reason to suppose that the new ledge is of lower grade than other bodies in the mine. Any one acquainted with Edgar. Plewman\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnot Blewman\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwould hardly care to quote him as an authority on mining, as his.only experience has been in the capacity of receivers' watchman on the O. K. at Rossland. Previous to coming to this country he served a few years in an English printing office learning to set type. It is not reasonable to suppose that either occupation would .qualify the g-entleman to pose as a mining engineer. But this country can produce some wonderful freaks with M. E. after their names, and T. Edgar Plewman is quite justified in making reports on mines, if he can nd editors foolish enoug-h to publish rot of that kind. Mr. Mclntush, manager of the Winnipeg, will not be' back from Montreal for a couple of weeks, and until his return the values of the new lead cannot be obtained. It is supposed here that the item was published for the benefit of stock manipulators in Rossland,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPhoenix News. Work has been commenced on tunnel No. 3 in the Gold Drop.-; The tunnel will be run ISO feet and an upraise made to connect with the shaft, which is now down about 40 feet. It is the intention to run the tunnel 500 feet, at which point it will have a vertical depth of 400 feet. No. 1 tunnel is now in about 225 feet. At 250 an upraise,1 will be made to the surface for venti-j lation purposes. A winze will be sunk from the tunnel on the ore body, and drifts' will also be run on the ledge. ] About 225 feet of ore have been crosscut j in this tunnel, averaging about S24 to I the ton.

Drifting is being done from the 150 and 250-foot levels. It was reported that a blind lead had been discovered, but Superintendent Robins states that this is not so.

Alex Sharpe, the superintendent of the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling company's properties has returned from Rossland and Trail. He recently sent two'carloads of ore from theGold Bug to the Trail smelter. This ore, in Mr. Sharpe's opinion, is the highest grade ever sent to the Trail smelter. Mr. Sharpe has just been appointed superintendent of the Iron Colt mine at Rossland, and will leaue for there in a few days.
