"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 .

The Nightingale was located May 10th,' 1895, little more than a year ago, and we venture to say that few of the older, properties upon which crown grants have long since been obtained can show so. much development. Mr. Christie estimates the value of the work he has done, unaided, on the Nightingale at ^$1,200 and on the Mavis, an adjoining claim, at $300. Taking into consideration the fact that he has been almost continually at work developing these properties, and valuing his time at the current rate of miners' wag-es, his valuation does not appear disproportionately large. Mr. Christie's strong point evidently is the buoyant hopefulness of his disposition. Most men, had they met with half the disappointments which have been the lot of the owner of the Nightingale, would have given up in despair long ere this ; but to him failure in one direction only acts as a stimulus to increased effort in another. The Nightingale ground is literally honeycombed with prospect holes and open cuts. There is one shaft 22 feet deep, and every pound of rock was carried in a bucket up the ladder to the dump. One of the cuts too, is 30 feet in length, 15 feet deep and six feet wide. Mr. Christie is satisfied that he has at length found the situation of his ledge, and by the accident of a tree blowing over the other day a fine body of ore carrying pyrrhotite and copper pyrites #as uncovered. He is now working on this new strike. L,ater on Mr. Christie intends to tunnel in from the foot of the mountain, sinking first, however, some thirty feet to water level. During the last three weeks he has commenced on the tunnel, making in that short time an open cut, twenty feet deep by twenty-seven wide, running in twenty feet from the start. Here he encountered a \" fault,\" but he thinks that by going through this he will strike a big ore body, On either side of the \" fault \" is a streak of oxidized quartz. Mr. Christie is now building a shaft-house in readiness for the winter's work, and a comfortable cabin is also being built on the claim. / ^d^4 \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD :. * A PROMISING PROSPECT. A good prospect was located last week by Messrs. Dufour and Fisher in Skylark camp, adjoining the L,ulu. The claim was called the Barrow, and from all accounts has a big surface showing. The ore is iron-stained quartz carrying free-gold and copper pyrites. Mr. Fisher is a new-comer and has had absolutely no experience as a prospector\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhere is, therefore, another example of the luck of the \"tenderfoot.\" hi &i 5s- '.

One of the old buildings on the Skylark is being fitted up as an assay office for Mr. Reuger's use. Mr. Mcintosh, of Winnipeg, bought a three-quarter interest in the Big Six from Alex. Wallace this week. There is good showing on this claim, upon which the assessment was recently done. The assays run above the average. Fourteen men have been put to work on the Old Victoria, in Camp McKinney.

One of the owners resides in Victoria, and another interest is controlled by Mrs. Dowding, of Rock Creek. The property is likely to prove valuable. ' Heretofore it was generally believed that there was no placer ground, on Boundary Creek above the old workings near Jolly Jack's creek. A claim was, however, recently located by Mr. Hanrahan between the ranches of Messrs., Kerr and Roy, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD and from all reports contains good pay.dirt. On an average the gold runs from five to fifty cents to the pan. Systematic work will be commenced next week, meanwhile sluice boxes are being put in place. Mr. W. W. Gibbs recently returned from a trip up Kettle river, visiting both Canyon and Cedar creeks. He says that the condition of affairs there now is similar to what was experienced in Boundary in '91. The country is a promising field for prospecting, the characteristic formation being diorite.' Mr. Gibbs was particularly \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD impressed with the showing of a claim owned by Ed. Sullivan and Alex. Waddel, some 28 miles up the river from Rock Creek. The ore resembles that of the Winnipeg and is solid pyrrhotite with the brownish shade imparted by copper. Assays by Mr. Gibbs gave an average \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD value of $12, which from surface rock is very fair returns. The owners in- ' tend to put in three or four months developing the property this winter. Two more claims were found near the Big Four group on Boundary creek last week, heavily capped with iron ; and at Kimberley camp an extension of tjiie Kimberley claim was staked, the Garry Owen, by Messrs. Robinson and McArthur ; besides\"two extensions of the Iron Chief\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe Hamilton and Ironsides. The first assays made from rock from the new camp were received this week and the result\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD$1.40 in gold arid 58 cents in silver\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDis not unsatisfactory, taking into consideration the size of the Big Four deposit and that the samples were taken not from an ore body but from iron capping. There are six claims in the Big Four group and the owners intend to take the wise course of doing at one time six assessments on one claim, the Big Four itself; this they, are allowed to do by law after making a formal application for permission. Hence it is probable that this winter a shaft will be sunk some 60 feet on the Big Four, which should be sufficient to determine fairly definitely the value of ore bodies in this promising neighborhood. John Crawford starts this week to do the assessment on the Ballarat.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, MINING NOTES. Last Saturday a party of between ten and twelve men started up Boundary creek to prospect the new field. AD the water has been removed from the Stemwinder shafts. Sinking is in progress in one shaft and a drift is being run at the foot of another. After a few days work last week on the Cracker Jack, in Greenwood camp, copper ore was found beneath an iron capping. The ledge was stripped for some 11 feet; no walls were found. Jack Farrell while prospecting on the Buttercup, in Wellington camp, the other day, found a small quartz lead which has since widened out to nearly three feet. The quartz carries copper sulphurets, and runs well in gold. Specimens have been sent to Spokane for exhibition purposes. During the past week a considerable amount of surface work has been done on the, Phoenix in Greenwood camp. The capping was stripped, for nearly 50 feet and the owners have been rewarded by finding some \"very pretty rock,.full of copper pyrites and containing azurite. They had not yet struck the ore body in formation, but the indications of its proximity are sufficiently clear. - E}. A. Bielenberg has for the last few weeks been engaged in developing the Butterfly and the Surprise, both in. Skylark camp. On the former a hole has been sunk eight or teii feet, the top of which was capped for about thirty inches with iron ; the ore is copper sulphides and is coming in well. On the Surprise the shaft is down 15 feet and the ledge\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcontaining silver-bearing quartz\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD is six feet wide.

I E- D. MORRISON, PROPRIETOR. I 'I THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. MINING NOTES. Mr. Rutherford, representing- IDng-- lish capital, is staying\" in Greenwood. He has already purchased property on the North Fork. Mr. J. C. Haas has arrived safely in Spokane with his collection of ores from this district. From reports in the city dailies, the Boundary exhibit is likely to form one of the principal attractions of the Fair. Mr. Morrison is daily expecting\" to receive instructions to commence work on the company's claim in Deadwood camp. Meanwhile the company evidently are quite content that he should have \" the expectations.\" Word has been received that Mr. Harry Hemlow, whorepresents mining- investors both in Montreal and Vancouver, will shortly return on a visit to Boundary. Mr. Hemlow recently purchased the Boundary FaUs and Spotted Horse here. It is reported that both the Lincoln and City of Paris have been bonded and development work is to be commenced shortly. The bond is controlled by an E^ng-lish company. Mr. J. Stevens, who is; a co-proprietor in-the claims, arrived from Fairview this week to sign-the papers relative to the bond. \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:;-',]-'..:'1-'-/: /\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ''\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD':.:-v:;/ L,ast Saturday 49 feet of the 50-foot double compartment shaft contract at the Old Ironsides had been sunk. For several days preceding- water had been flowing- in at the rate of 15 or 20 gallons an hour. The pre recently taken out has not so promising an appearance as that on the dump of a few weeks ago. Development work 0will be continued all winter. Carl Nelson, the partner of R. Robison in the Northern Belle; and Golden Giant on Pass creek, has made a big- strike near Kaslo on a claim called the Silver Bell. He and his partners recently refused an offer of $40,000 on a bond, 10 per cent, down, made by a California company for the prospect. The ore body .is six feet across and runs over 200 ounces in silver. Many of our readers will have kindly recollections of Mr. A. Meg-raw, who made an extensive tour through this district in the summer of 1893, when he secured interests in claims at Gamp McKinney and other points. Mr. Meg-raw has since then gone more or.less deeply into mining speculations in - the Rainy river country^ where he has a free-milling proposition assaying on the average $45, with test assays of $720 to $1,760. Apparently not content with this Mr. Meg-raw writes us for all possible information on the present condition and outlook of the Boundary Creek camps. He is endeavoring to interest eastern capital in McKinney and elsewhere and will be through here again \" in the spring or possibly before that time.\" The V. V. & E. R. & N.

News-Advertiser : The reason the above company did not obtain its,charter was that the present session would not last long enough to give time for the bill to pass both Houses. Notice is being given to have it before the House at the next session, which will be in three or four months. The shortness of the present session prevents all railway bills from passing.

The dance given by Mr. J. J. White at the Boundary Falls Hotel on Thursday was, in every sense of the word, a success^ and the rooms contained a. larger gathering, probably, than have yet been assembled at one time on any previous occasion, festive or otherwise, in;; Boundary. ? Estimating roughly, between a hundred and fifty and a hundred and sixty guests from all parts of the district were present. Dancing commenced about nine o'clock, and was kept up to a violin and banjo orchestral accompaniment until early morning. The partition dividing two large rooms on the ground floor had been removed during the I week, thus extemporising a capital dance-hall, the walls being further tastefully decorated with evergreens. Decidedly a feature of the evening was a clog dance by cMr. R. F. Warren, of Okanogan, Washington (or was it Palouse ?), which ,was really\" an inimitable exhibition. At midnight a cold collation was served, to describe which justly it is a hard matter to resist the temptation to employ every appreciatory superlative in Webster; but as a contemporary will doubtless remark, \" the tables fairly groaned beneath the weight of the good things provided.\" Mr. \"White will, at aiiy rate, have the satisfaction of knowing that his entertainment was generally highly .appreciated. MINING NOTES. A winze is now being sunk at the end of the crosscut on the Copper.. Mr. R. Wood has sold his interest in the Rhoderick Dhu to Mr. W. ~L. D'Aeth of Armstrong. Harry Nash and George Rumberger are building a roomy house on the Brooklyn. A start has also been made on the new hotel. A new shaft is being sunk on the Stemwinder lead, between No. 1 and No. 2 shafts, and is now down 30 feet. Two shifts have been put on. Archie Connors left to-day to do the assessment work'on the Summit claim in Summit camp. The Summit vein runs parallel with the Oro Denero, and has a good surface showing. The contract on the Old Ironsides was completed on Monday, but work will be resumed upon the arrival of the company's representative, who is expected immediately. The ore last taken out carries less of hematite and has changed in character. * Sam Shaw, who . has ' lately been working on the Old Ironsides, located six clairns last winter on the Reservation, all; of -which promised well. He o trusted his partner to record the properties, which he failed to do, and within the last week every one of the claims was jumped, or rattier re-staked. Mr. C. H. Brown left on\" Friday's stage for Spokane, on matters'relating to the Clifton claim in Copper camp. E. Timm and the other owners have sold out their interests in the property to a Spokane company and the claim is to be stocked ; three or four thousand dollars will be spent this year in development work. Johnnie Winters and Nelson I^e Plante have recently completed the contract of running a 120-foot tunnel and a 60-foot drift on the Washington, a claim owned by an American company half-a-mile south of the line from White's camp. Mr. Winters states that the rock was remarkably , easy to break and he and his partner on several occasions made 14 feet a day, earning as much as $40 for nine or ten hours work. If not one of Johnnie's yarns, this we opine comes very nearly being a record-breaking performance. As the result of a little surface prospecting of the new iron-capped leads up Iyost creek, pyrrhotite has been uncovered. This is particularly the case on the Ballarat, located by Robinson and McArthur, where they are preparing to sink on a large body of it. While the gold tenure is at present undoubtedly low, it is encouraging to note that the true sulphide ore has been found under the oxydized cap. , JUST arrived\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA consignment of dry-goods and men's clothing at the Greenwood ^Grocery.

Word was received from Ottawa yesterday that a money-order office had been gazetted for Greenwood, and that Inspector Fletcher would ber here next week with the necessary paraphernalia. Mr. Iyawder, of the firm of Armstrong & L-awder of Anaconda, is retiring from the business. Notice of the dissolution of partnership: will be publish^ e'd in next week's issue of The Times. It is understood that Mr. Iv. Birnie who so capably managed the firm's affairs from the time the, store was opened here, will remain in charge of the business for Mr. Armstrong. Mr. McMann moved on Thursday into his new house on L/ong Iyake street. Mr. McMann, himself, drew the architectural plans of the building, hence every detail conducive to comfort or convenience was carefully considered. Mr. F. G. Schwenitz, a German mining engineer, arrived in Greenwood on Friday. He went up to-day to Copper camp with Mr. Sansom. ^\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDiwn.ri-fMTa^^T^-TT'\"T^g&,1\"'^1Jii^i-itrr^irnffqF^-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD BETTER THAN EVER. >-9+e>-9-*9\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-9-19*+*9>-9<9*m-*9>9~49+9*49*-9-,.k,:..',.;^ 'u^i-Sti^&S^.^x,i>:-,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'??-v^.^7.-;?'-!-l^;.;.';.,:? .';.'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ''X.'s ' '' /^04/f/j/y//-"@en .
