Mining District. Vol, I, GREENWOOD CITY, B.G, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1897. No. 21. saaa^m THE GREENWOOD HOSPITAL. 'HEN Mr. Robt. Wood visited the mining camps of Boundary Creek some 18- months ago, before he had even thought of founding the town of Greenwood, now likely to become a thriving \" city,\" he was very forcibly impressed with the idea of the necessity then exist-- ing in the neighborhood for some building, which might be used as a hospital in the event of sickness or accident,-, To a man pf Mr, Wood's kindly disposition1 the picture of the miserable condition of an unfortunate prospector, alone in his log cabin, ill, suffering and uncared for, was painful to a degree ; and when, later, he met Dr. Jakes' and learned, that it was the doctor's most cherished wish to see a really- comfortable hospital built in the district, his resolve to erect such a building at the first opportunity was strengthened. In passing, however, one must not forget to accord to Dr. Jakes himself the due meed of credit for being as a matter of fact first to establish a. hospital on the creek, many greatly, appreciating- his forethought in fitting up the with the pervading air of cheerfulness and comfort, the scrupulous cleanliness and the homelike surroundings, for which in contradistinction to lnahy institutions of this kind the Greenwood hospital is especially to be commended. Some three years ago a movement was set on foot to establish a hospital at. Vernon, the Government of the Province offering to donate $2,500 towards the erection of a building to cost $5,000, providing that the people of the district subscribed the remaining sum. Notwithstanding this generous promise of aid from the . provincial treasury, it was obligatory to abandon the project owing to the lack of public spiritedness\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDor perhaps, to be, more charitable, from the hard-up-edness\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDof those who should have been most enthusiastic. The Greenwood hospital was built as the result of private enterprise, and it is even understood that Dr. Jakes, who is^ now the sole proprietor, does not contemplate asking for aid of any description from the Government, as he well might with a reasonable certainty of obtaining a liberal grant. He is,-however, entirely satisfied, that henceforward the hospital will be self-sup'port- ;r; \"V mi 1 . ?&W;U TKE HOSPITAL, GREENWOOD, B.C. log building at Boundary Falls for this purpose, and attributing thereto'their more rapid return to convalescence.

The building, Xvhich occupies thirteen lots on Summit street, was epmpleted towards the end of September and patients were admitted during the following month. The.services of, a very capable and competent nurse were secured in the person of-Miss Hamill, who is well qualified for the position.by\"a.course of several years' training in the Belfast hospital. Even with the sparse population of Boundary Creek at present, the doctor has been kept busy since taking charge, attending to \" cases \" in the men's ward. In af former issue ,pf TPT^;i Times the hospital was described at some length, and it is therefore unnecessary to again go into details, but it may not be out of place to add that no visitor can fail to be impressed ing and he infinitely prefers that it should be so. Of her hospital and of the manner in which it is conducted Greenwood has every reason to be proud. '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSfc.

The Big Four belongs to a group of five claims staked at about the same time last summer, but instead of doing assessment work on each separately, the locators obtained permission from the Mining Recorder to concentrate the work on the most promising of the properties. It is hardly necessary to point out the wisdom of this course. Two shifts are now working on the Big Four, and a shaft has been sunk 35 feet, at which depth a crosscut to determine the width of the vein was commenced. The ore is copper pyrites in a quartz gangue. THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES* SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING.

There has been work done iu development to the value of $1,200 as follows : On the D.A., $100 in sinking and crosscutting, and prospecting other veins which show good indications ; on the G.A.R., $250, sinking^ working shaft 25 ft. and timbering ; on the Big Ledge, $450 running tunnel 40 ft. on small ledge to intersect the 10 ft. ledge, and an open cut 25 ft. to show up ledge and get into shape for tunnel work ; on the-O.B., $250 of work sinking shafts 7 ft., 6 ft., and 5 ft. .respectively and running some open cuts, prospecting the 25 ft. ledge and centre ledge ; on the-S.H.B.,'$l\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD0 sinking shaft and open cut, preparing for incline and deepen- ingshaftf- .....

I beg further to report that the showing on the D.A. is very encouraging and improving and I would advise the driving of a tunnel at least 75 ft., following the veiu ou the north slope, thereby striking the ledge at- a. depth of\" about 100 ft. The ore on the dump could be shipped at a profit if the company deem advisable. On the G.A.R. I would advise that the shaft now being sunk be continued, as the indications show this will be one of the most valuable of the company's properties, the lead gaining in width and value as the work progresses. The ore on the dump could also be shipped and net the company good returns.\" On the Big. Ledge I would advise thjj,t the tunnel now in 40 feet on the small lead beariyen to strike the 10 ft. lead, and I am satisfied that ^the same will be accomplished inside of 25 ft\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD On the O.B. claim I would advise continuing'to sink the 20 ft. shaft 50 ft. further,v/as from\" the. assays of the ore the same runs from $4 to $170. On the S.H.B. I would advise sinking further on the lead of the vein to ascertain the dip, and then a tunnel to strike the same at a depth of at>out 75 feet. I would advise that work be done on the J.A.C., Fred D., and S.F., as the indications, are sufficient to warrant development. I also beg to report that I have located for the company in their name two claims, namely, the P.H. and the C. S. & H. The former joins the O.B. and the latter is an extension of the D.A.; both are promising locations. The surve3rqrs have commenced work and will continue until the whole group have been surveyed, and by the time the same us completed the compai^ will be in a position to obtain crown grants to the D.A., G.A.R., O.B. and Big Ledge. The other claims -will follow in of succession as the work progresses. All which is respectfull3' submitted. D. A. HOLBROOK, Manager. Several other shareholders then spoke very favorably of the outlook during the year just commencing and expressing satisfaction with the management of the company's affairs.

The arrival of a gentleman from Portland last week with a loud voice and a self-important manner, who intimated that he wished to invest c in mining property, caused .some excite- . ment among resident prospectors having claims for sale. After staying in Greenwood for several'days and making careful investigations and enquiries both as to the character of the prospectors with whom he proposed to deal and of the ro:k shown him, the capitalist from Portland took an option on a Eong Eake prospect, priced at $60, for one day, paying $1 cash down for this privilege. He however learnt that the owner of the property was president of the vigilance committee and he preferred losing his deposit to having business relations with so notorious a character. Nevertheless, a deal was at length satisfactorily arranged between the capitalist and another claim-owner of unimpeachable reputation, whereby the former agreed to give $100 for a promising mine, paying $17.50 down. It is nien of this class who often do real harm to a mining camp. Perfectly and sublimely ignorant of mineralogy, they visit a camp and relying upon their own judgment purchase a prospect at an absurdly low figure. If, as in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, the prospect proves absolutely worthless, the disappointed \"capitalist\" can never allow an occasion to pass without .\"running down\" the locality in which his investment was so unremunerative.

Adams, trustee for the Midway Townsite Co. writes to The Times, from New York, on the eve of hisfdeparture for England, and says : \" I have good reason to think that my visit will secure substantial advantag-es both to Midway and the Boundary district generally.\" . Capt, Adams, as president of the Mining Association of the Province of Quebec, was recently interviewed by a representative of the Montreal Mining News. Speaking of Boundary Capt. Adams stated that in the opinion of many experts the district contained a larger variety of valuable minerals,' a greater extent of mineralized ground, and higher grade ores than the Trail Creek district, of which Rossland is the centre. Continuing, he said he had personally visited Trail and Rossland when the whole region could have been bought for a mere song but had preferred to acquire property, in Boundary and the Okanagan. At that, time he could cml^y find one-man. in Montreal willing to invest money in British Columbia; but Montreal people'had wakened up since then though he thought they were more interested in share gambling than in legitimate mining. MINING NOTES. Development work is being, prosecuted on the Eittle Chief, adjoining the Denver, in Skylark camp. The shaft on the Jewel, Eong Eake camp, was down 30 feet in splendid ore last Tuesday. More men will at once be put to work to develop the property. A strong lead 5 feet wide between well defined walls was uncovered last week'On-the-96, near Boundary \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Falls, while the men were doing assessment work.. Mr. J. S. Harrison has opened an office at Midway for the sale of \" abstracts.\" His fee for supplying information from the records concerning any one claim is $1. The contractors have well started on, the 50-foot tunnel which is being driven on the No. 9, Central camp. Already the ore has improved in value ; an assay made last week went from well sampled rock $4.50 in gold and 32 ozs. in silver. Messrs. Inkster, Olson and Phelan, who own the Kroner, an adjoining 1 claim to the Combination in. Providence camp, started development work on the property this week. The ledge has as yet been little prospected, but on the surface outcrops with a rich quartz. Messrs. Tottenham and Parks, who own placer ground on Boundary creek near Mr. Sansom's ranch, are running a tunnel up stream and piling the dirt ready to wash it in the spring. The tunnel has now been driven for 30 feeti Good pay was taken from this claim last autumn. Douglas has two shifts working Mr on the Cornucopia, in Central camp, the shaft being- now down about 30 feet. Crosscut nearer the surface the ledge was found to be six and a half feet wide. A rather curious fact in connection with this claim is \"that the slate of . the footwall-; itself; carries relatively high gold value; .\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ' - a For Occupation or Speculation.
