[The Greenwood Weekly Times]
BC Historical Newspapers
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.

Prosperity will Shortly Dawn upon this Long- Enduring Mining Campï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Description of Some of the Chief Claims. Camp McKinney is situated on the eastern slope of the range of mountains dividing the Kettle river and Okanagan valleys, at an elevation of some 4,500-feet above sea level, and forms one of the series of mining camps extending from the Rockies to the Cascades ; in that mineral belt which so closely follows the 49th parallel, comprising the mining camps of East Kootenay, Trail, - Rossland, Grand Forks, Boundary Creek, Fairview and the Similkameen district. In the spring of '87 Messrs. Rice, McKinney, Burnham and I^efevre left Spokane to prospect for quartz in British Columbia, choosing Rock creek as their field of operation. Following up that creek some 12 miles, they came to the Victoria claim, which had been located in-1884 ; the indications for mineral being encouraging, they pushed on some 2,000 feet higher up the mountain and camped on what is now the famous Cariboo claim. At that season of the year the mountains were still covered with the winter's snows, making prospecting almost impossible except upon some exposed "ridges from which the wind had swept the snow, andfit was upon such a place the croppings of the Cariboo were discovered, close "to where the camp fire had been built. A very little work soon revealed the richness of the vein, and Messrs. Rice and McKinney located the Cariboo while Messrs. Burnham and L/efevre staked the adjoining claim, the Amelia, on the 3rd of .'May, 1887. Though there were comparatively few prospectors in the country at the time, the news of the new strike quickly spread and soon some thirty or forty prospectors were camped around the lucky discoverers ; claims w^ere staked in all directions, everyone believing- he had a bonanza, each new-comer having the privilege of a look at Fred. Rice's cabinet, which he kept in a cigar box, and a sight of those specimens, with the quartz literally hanging to the g-old, would make the most skeptical believe there was nothing- like being a miner and no place like Camp McKinneyï¿½ï¿½ï¿½which, by the/way, was so named in honor of Al. McKinney. In spite of the difficulties of transportation and consequent high prices of provisions, prospecting and development work was carried on vigorously during 1887, not only the Cariboo and Amelia, but several of the adjoining and outlying claims showing up remarkably rich ; but by '88 many of the claim owners had to face the hard problem which has been and always will be, to the majority of prospectors, a difficult one to solve, viz., the want of capital. Quartz mining in B.C. was at that time at low water mark ; it was next to impossible to induce capital to invest; the camp was practically inaccessible, all supplies being packed in over a mountain trail, and a mail service once a month. Under such circumstances it is not surprising- that the majority of the miners were compelled to abandon their properties, however unwillingly, and seek more favored localities. Mr. James Monaghan, of Spokane, and associates, having purchased the Cariboo and Amelia from the original owners, determined to put up a mill on the property and thoroughly test it, and on April 24th, 1894, a ten-stamp mill which had been hauled in under great difficulties, commenced runningï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and is still runningï¿½ï¿½ï¿½on the Cariboo claim, only having- stopped for the necessarj^ clean-ups, etc., making it the record mill of the Province; and what is still better, has paid from the first drop of the stamps. The property is now owned by the Cariboo M. & M. Co., of which Mr. J. Monaghan is president and Mr. G. B. Mc- Auley secretary-treasurer, and is one of the bestï¿½ï¿½ï¿½if not the bestï¿½ï¿½ï¿½free-gold producing mine in B.C. The 140-foot level is now being worked, but preparations have been made to work the 200-foot level where the vein in places is 11 feet wide and the sulphuret ore appears to be richer. The total output of the mine foots up close upon a quarter of a miliion dollars. The Eureka, better known as the Douglas mine, situated about 800 yards west of the -Cariboo, was located by Mr. John Douglas in 1887,.has a- shaft 153 feet in depth, and cross-cuts 100 feet and 75 feet, displaying a big body of ore. Mr. Douglas, who was connected with a New York syndicate in the enterprise, expended a very large sum of money on the property, under the most adverse circumstances. As an instance: He had to make several miles of road to bring in proper hoisting machinery ; and though for over two years he stuck pluckily to. the development of his property, it is not surprising that he should have accepted the advice of one of his partners, " that life was too short to operate in such a county." Between the Eureka and the Cariboo are situated the Maple I^eaf, owned by Mr. J. lyynch, on which is a 45-foot shaft, and the Alice and Emma (consolidated), on<which is a 63-foot shaft. The character of the ore on these claims is similar to the Cariboo but of a less degree" of richness. Some 300 yards south-west of the Cariboo is the Sailor, formerly known as the Prince of Wales. This claim has been recently bonded to Toronto and Vancouver parties. It has a very strong vein which has been opened up about 500 feet, assays from the shaft giving from $8.00 to $58'in gold. A little" west of the Eureka is the Dol- jphin, on which is a tunnel 50 feet and two shafts, the ore going from $13 to $40 in gold. Still further west, in the granite, is the old Bouncer claim, now known as the Anarchist, owned by Mr. Sidley ; a 60-foot shaft has been sunk, showing wonderfully clear walls ; the vein is nearly six feet wide at the bottom of the shaft and assays from $9 to $13. Immediately to the south of the Cariboo is the Minnehaha, with a 40-foot shaft, showing some very good ore: Joining the Amelia on the east is one of the early locations, the Okanagan, and half-a-mile still further in the same direction is another, the Fontenoy, formerly the Carbonate, situated in the lime belt ; an 80-foot shaft on this claim gives a splendid showing of mineral. Mention should be made of the north-west portion of the camp. Three miles in that direction from the Cariboo are situated the Highland Chief, Hidden Treasure, G. M. B., Rosebud, Mayflower, Alma, the old L,ost Mine and several other properties. This section offers the best field for the prospector, the mineral area being very extensive and surface showings indicating large bodies of ore. About 3*4 miles east of the Cariboo and 2,000 feet lower down, is situated the old Victoria mine, the first location made in the district having- been recorded in '84. The character of the country rock is somewhat different, being- a talcose schist, while the upper camp is slate. The Victoria was always known to contain very rich ore, two test samples of 1,000 lbs. and 1,200 lbs. being some few years ag-p sent to Chicago and assaying $187 and $168 to the ton, and picked specimens going as high as $2,700 to the ton. The property has been recently acquired by Victoria parties and under the superintendence of Mr. Bash work is being pushed ahead. Already two tuunels have been started, one being in some 50 feet, so that by the coming- spring the property should be thoroughly exploited. Adjoining the Victoria is the Old England, on the same vein ; in fact there are three veins running through this claim ; on the centre or main THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. vein a 75-foot incline shaft has been sunk and the big-ore body tapped, while a'90-foot, tunnel has been run to cut the west vein. It is the intention of the owners this winter to run a .tunnel in the centre vein with a view to stdping- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the ore. The Homestake is an extension of the Old Eng'lantd, the same veins being- traced through the claim, - the centre one being tapped by a tunnel. In addition to the foregoing, there are a number of locations in the vicinity, such as the Ophir; Snowden, California, Queen, Peerless, etc., showing the presence of large bodies of .ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½mineral.' During the present season considerable prospecting has been done between the two forks of Rock creek, some four or five miles south-east of Camp McKinney, ' with most encouraging- results, Messrs. Copeland and Gwatkin having- struck, a splendid body of copper ore running, from $25 oo $55 in copper, silver and gold. Their shaft, which at present is about 20 feet deep, is in solid mineral and it is their intention to put it down 100 feet this winter. They have named their claims the Ee Roi and War Eagle. As may be assumed, this discovery led to the location of a number of claims in the vicinity. Another strike was made about four miles north-east of McKinney last summer by Mr. Brethour, representing Victoria people, though sufficient work has not yet been done to prove the value of the new find. The showing on Alex. Cameron's claim, the Gamer- onian, is most encouraging, however, and indicates the presence of a large and extensive body of mineral. Con- siderable work is necesary to develope the properties in this section, the mineral being all heavily capped. , In viewing the possibilities of Camp McKinnej'- one is led to believe that it was somewhat unfortunate in being discovered at the early date it was. Had the discovery taken place, say, within the last two or even three years claims which are now idle would be in full blast, the altered conditions of quartz niining would have compelled the development of such bodies of mineral as are to be found in the vicinity of this camp. It is much more difficult to make intending investors believe in the merits of a claim when gazing into' an old shaft half full of water than when looking at a brand new, prospect hole. Resuscitation is a slow process, - but time and the much-talked-about railway will undoubtedly place Camp McKinney where she belongsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½in>the front rank of gold mining camps. A good axiom in niining is to seek for gold where that metal is being produced, and to-day there is no better field either for prospector or investor than old Camp McKinney and its surrounding mountains. f Fruit # Vegetables Copper Street, Greenwood City.

ANACONDA COMMERCIAL CLUB. A special meeting- of the Anaconda Commercial Club was held last Saturday, about 20 members being- present. The meeting- was:called to appoint- trustees and to consider the proposal from Messrs. Tillman and Wilson of the rental of their,hall. The president, '., vice-president and secretary were electr ed, with Messrs. Keffer, Tillman, JLind and Birnie to constitute the board of trustees and to deal with alljiiatters of finance.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½The reg-ular meeting- of the society was held on Wednesda3r' evening-, the president in the chair. Mr. Hind presented the report of the committee on the No. 7 road construction, showing; that the equivalent of ninety- two days work had been required to open the route. On '.motion of Mr. Bennett the report was accepted and referred to the trustees. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½/ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ In reply to a question Mr. Hind ,.. stated that he had .drawn the plans ,for the proposed bfidg-e across Boundary . creek leading-froni Butte Avenue. The bridg-e would be sixteen feet wide, and he thoug-ht, would be creditable to the town. The contract to the builders had already been let/ .Moved by Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Hickey,'that a standing- vote of thanks be tendered the Townsite Company for the promptitude with which this sug-g-estion of the Club had been responded, to.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Carried. Mr. Keffer, as chairman of the committee appointed to confer with the owners of the Wilson hall with reg-ard to the terms of lease, reported that the hall could be leased for six months at Monthly rental of twenty dollars. Moved by Mr. Miller, seconded, by Mr. Sawder, that the report of the committee be accepted.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Carried. Mr. Hind oh behalf of the Townsite Company offered the lease of an unoccupied inside lot for six months commencing- from December 1st, at a nominal fig-ure of $1 per month, g-iving- the option of purchase at present current* prices of lots, as an inducement to the first blacksmith locating- in the town. The following- applications for membership were received : J. Bloug-h, M. Kaj', J. M. Mitchell,8 and H. M. I*am-b. Moved by Mr. Hind, seconded bjr Mr. Land, that provision be made to allow persons residing- outside of a radius of 15 miles from Anaconda the privileg-e of joining- the club as non-resident members on payment of 50c. a month or $6 per annum. No non-resident ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½member to be eligible +-, or office or to at the club have the power of voting- meeting's.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Carried. Mr. Keffer moved that a pamphlet descriptive of the district, taking- Anaconda as the centre, be published by the club. After the matter had been discussed at some leng-th, the president appointed Messrs. Keffer, . Hind and Bennett, with Mr. L/anib, as a committee to report on the cost of printing- a pamphlet of so many pag-es, at the next: reg-ular meeting. The contract for the buiiding- of the bridg-e across Boundary creek at Anaconda has been let to Mark Kay and John Bloug-h. The new road to the No. 7 was completed on Monday and is a very satisfactory piece of work. Crosscutting-on the No. 7 is being- to run at the rate of twenty feet per week. prU-*l &ï¿½ï¿½ d/" A/' ^a/" &/~ ^X Xi/^ 6/' A/' &f &f XS/" &f &f <jgv wgv ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ wgv w^ ugw yy* yft>> ug^ *tgy <j$* %^ gfw ugv ï¿½ï¿½$y ' W. <J.

HARBER ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ EDITOR ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ MANAGER Subscription, $2.00 per Year, in Advance. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1896. TOPICS FOR THE WEEK- Mr. Heinze is, we learnv advertising- for tenders for the construction of three sections of the Columbia & Western, road. The cost of advertising- to a man of wealth like Mr. Heinze is a mere detail and therefore this move in itself cannot be reg-arded in a very sig-nifi- 1 cant lig-ht. Ere, however, the provincial house meets, the tenderers will have submitted their fig-tires and Heinze will thus be able to show whether, to use a colloquial but expressive phrase, he is" bluffing1 " or not. The government's treatment of the companies that intend applying- for charters to build railroads throug-h this district will doubtless greatly depend on Heinze's movements during- the next few weeks, and unless the public estimation of that g-entleman's character is wrong he is perfectly aware of the fact. By- the-way it is not as yet ascertained that Mr. Heinze has paid into the provincial treasury the sum of $50,000, which according- to the terms upon which he obtained his charter and land subsidy, he was oblig-ed to deposit before the 17th of October. If he has not, it will be for the Government to determine -whether or not he is entitled'to a renewal of his charter. A correspondent draws attention in this issue of The Times to the practice resorted to , by certain' company promoters in Fairview, viz., paying- a man so much a day to stake what must be under the circumstances, unless by the merest fluke, absolutely worthless ground, to be doubtless described in a forthcoming- prospectus as valuable mining property. There is apparently no way of preventing- this kind of swindling-. If, however, the government would appoint a staff of mining inspectors in connection with that excellent institution the Bureau of Mines, under Prof. Carlyle, much could be done to put a too-confiding- public on its guard ag-ainst fraudulent schemes. Each district would have a resident inspector whose special duty it would be to report on claims that were to be put on the market by stock companies. If this report was published in the prospectus of the company owning-, such property, the public could at least be satisfiedï¿½ï¿½ï¿½providing- the government official was honestï¿½ï¿½ï¿½that the facts were not exaggerated. On the other hand, failure to publish the official report could be regarded as prima facie evidence of fraud. Of course the inspector's duties would not be limited to reporting on properties; the inspection of working mines with a view to ascertaining- that proper precautions were taken ag-ainst the occurrence of accidents, would be among- the more important of the functions required of such an official. The proposal to institute a Board of Trade in Boundary has been discussed for some weeks past, but from information which has been recently received it is found that for several reasons the original project cannot for the time being- be effected. . A meeting is, however, called for Thursday evening- next (December 3rd), for the purpose, of disr cussing the practicability of organizing- an association in the interests of trade and the mining- industry in Boundary Creek. This association will ultimately evolve itself into a district Board of Trade. It is to be hoped that the meeting- will be well attended. It is decidedly to the interest ot the miners of Boundary creek not to delay the org-anization of a local branch of the Union until the last moment., Had the Rossland branch been established a few months earlier, the three and a half dollars a day wage would thereafter have been paid without question by mine-owners. p^ORBES M.

According- to this map three new blocks have been added to the north of the town. On the slope of the hill fronting- the street that has been christened Kimberly avenue, a number of residential lots have been platted. These lots have a frontag-e of ISO feet and are 350 feet deep. In this part of the town the valley " sensibly widens and the area is sufficiently great to admit of a population of 5,000 people. Three new streets have also been laid out, named respectively Providence, Brooklyn, and Pass streets, leading- at rig-ht angles to Government street from Boundary creek. From the corner of Deadwood street, in a northerly direction, allowance has been made for the widening- of Government street to 70 feet.

The Rambler Mining- Company propose to cut a sleig-h road from Pass creek to Greenwood. It is reported that between 150 to 200 men are employed developing- properties on Myers' creek. ^ Georgfe Bdwards, of Edwards' Ferry, is said to have made a rich strike to the west of Christina lake, last week. A tunnel is being- driven to strike the ledg-e on the Clifton, the property of the Coolg-ardie Mining- Company in Copper camp. A quarter interest in the Jack Pot, an extension of the Buttercup in Wel- ling-ton camp, has been sold. No work has yet been done on the claim, but the^surface showing-is remarkable. A very favorable report on the richness and extent of the mineral deposits of Boundary has been made by a well- known German mineralog-ist, Mr. A. Hamer, who spent several months this summer in the district. < Work on the Stemwinder is to be ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½suspended temporarily, fiotwithstandr ing-that the result of recent development has proved eminently satisfactory. During- Mr. Farrell?.s visit some few weeks ago, he seriously contemplated erecting-a smelted on the property next spring-. The Ophir in Welling-ton camp, owned by Joe Taylor, is looking- very well. It has a twenty inch ledg-e carrying- native silver and free gold. The shaft . is now down 25 feet. "Another nearby property, the Butte, has a most promising- appearance-with two and a half feet of clean ore at the foot of the 20 ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ - .. . ~ ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½. - ..'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ? foot shaft. Andrew Hansom, who returned on Saturday from Okanogan, Wash., states that mining- activity is reviving- at Ivoomiston. A few years ag-o Iyoo- miston had a larg-e population, and a great excitement followed the discovery of bodies of free-milling- ore in the vicinity. Several stamp-mills were installed, but were in operation than as development proceeded the ore began to turn base and the!ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ mills' were forced to close down. At the School of Practical Science and Mineralog-y in Toronto an assay was made .last week of some rock from the Minnehaha claim (Camp McKinney). The samples were estimated by the students in the laboratory to g-o from $8 to $12, and much surprise was manifested when the cupel was taken from the furnace and the bead shown. The value was at the rate of $107 in g-old and $2.51 in silver. The Colville reservation prospectors coming- into town for winter, bring- reports that g-o far to justify the claims of mineral riches that were made before the land was opened to white men. thoug-h much work must yet be done before the first promises beg-in to be fulfilled. Enough has been shown this season to satisfy everybody that the great reservation will add much to the wealth of Washington in the next ten years. But there is one feature of the case to be deeply regretted; that the mineral laws should have permitted a few greedy fellows to stake out hundreds of claims which they have not the slightest intention of developing but which they can hold without one stroke of work until January 1, 1897. ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Spokane Chronicle.

Hansom, Kelly, Murray and Steele are working on the Eulu in Kimberly camp. John Shear,has heen working for the .past nionths on the Homestake and Idaho Trinket in Summit camp. Both claims look well. The Homestake has an 8-foot lead, the ore assaying $42 for all values., . ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Sinking was started on the Ironsides Monday afternoon, the shaft having previously been emptied of water. The compan3r have built a large and substantial shaft house, and a "Common- sense " whim is in operation. The ore in the tunnel of the Mother Eode is gradually but certainly improving in character and is becoming more siiicious. Already the ledge has been proved for 60 feet; and the proba- > bilities are. that it will be twice as.wide. Judging from some specimens brotight down this week, the Big Four in Kimberly cariip is improving im- . hieiisely with the progress of developments T^ taken from ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½..;. a depth of eight feet and showed a large proportion of copper pyrites. Mr. S. Sï¿½ï¿½ Fowler,>M.--^..,;-whose'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½re-'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ portslast winter on Boundary creek were the means of /attracting much attention to the district, is again visiting , the camp, and accompanied by Mr. W. T. Thompson went out to the Curlew creek camps this week. Mr. Fowler was ..greatly surprised at the rapid growth made by the new towns since last spring. -. Jim Cunningham went up to Summit camp this week to work on the Columbus, a north-west extension of the Summit, and on the Remainder, a fractional claim on the Emma lead. The '.Columbus is a big iron-capping, assaying $6 in gold and $5 in silver, aud can be traced for 600 feet. A tunnel is to be run and the ledge crosscut. The, Remainder, upon which a shaft has been sunk 15 feet, has a 40-foot ledge carrying copper, silver and gold. The half-interest in the Jewel owned" by F. Dittnier was bonded on Tuesday by Mr. Eeslie Hill, acting for the Prospecting Syndicate of British Co.- lumbia. The price on the bond was $15,000, 10 per cent, of which was paid. The Jewel was located by Messrs. Bos- hart and Dittmer last yea.r, , and the claim is one of ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ the'most promising in Eong Eake camp. The ledge is about five feet Wide, and ore is very high- grade. Very little development work has been done on the property, but at the bottom of the 8-foot shaft or prospect hole there is a magnificent showing of almost "clean" galena. The syndicate how hold a bond ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ on the entire claim with the exception of an eighth interest owned by Mr. Garland. THE BALL AT MIDWAY. The ball g-iven by Messrs. McAuley & Euncly at Midway on Thanksgiving- Day, to celebrate the opening of the new addition to the Boundary hotel, was by general consent acknowledged to be the most successful affair of its kind yet attempted in the district. Dancing commenced at 8.30 p.m. and was maintained until 5 in the morning to the music provided by an orchestra of an organ, three violins and a banjo. At midnight an excellent collation of cold fowl, game, salads and cake- was served in the large dining-room in the new addition to the hotel, covers being laid for nearly 150 persons. The room, which is very handsomely finished and panelled with cedar and, tamarac, was tastefully decorated and festooned with flowers. Notwithstanding the extreme severity of the weather, a large number of guests arrived from a distance, among whom were Mr., and the Misses McEaren, from Carson; Miss Horn- chan, from Nelson, Wash. ;? Mr. and Mrs. Shonquest, Mr. and Mrs. Phelan, Mr. and Mrs.. Seymour,, Miss Palmer, Mr., Mrs. and Miss Comstock, Mrs/ Symonds, and Mr., Mrs. and Miss Huff, from Greenwood ; Mr. White and Mr. and Mrs. Roy, from Boundary Falls; Mr. and Mrs. Birnie, Miss'Bir- nie, Miss Becker, the Misses "Hickey and Miss Wilkins, from Anaconda; Mr. Perrine, from Grand Forks. WOOD -BUZZELL. On Thursday Mr. Frank "^ood, formerly one of the proprietors of the' Pioneer hotel, Greenwood, was united in marriage to Miss Sadie Buzzell, of Walla Walla, Wash., the ceremony being performed by Rev. T. Paton. In the evening- thirteen g-uests sat down to supper in the dining-room of the hotel, Mr. Sansom toasting the bride and bridegroom ; arid later/the Greenwood City band serenaded the happy couple. Among the wedding presents were the following : Wedding cake, Mrs. Hardy; set of silver knives and forks, Mr. D. Hicks ; set of dessert and tea spoons, Mr. and Mrs. Periniwell;. rocking and easy chair, Mr. J. W. Nelson. Mr. and Mrs., Frank Wood will continue to reside in Greenwood. . DISTRICT NEWS. The Rev. H.

[Special Correspondence.] No better news has ever been received in Fairview than that of the incorporation of a company in Toronto to develop the Smuggler mine. Among- the directors are some of the most influential men in Toronto, and, there is no question but that ample funds will be forthcoming- to develop the property. Stock is offered at 25c. and the whole 100,000 shares are likely to be snapped up quickly, one order in Vancouver alone calling for 25,000 shares. Tenders have been called for a 10-stamp mill and a cyanide plant, and work is expected to be in full .swing within 60 days. Notwithstanding the set-back caused by the miserable fiasco of the Strathyre company, the environment of Fairview camp and its natural facilities for the working- of claims, ensure its prosperity at an early day. A surprisingly large number of stock companies are being formed to acquire and work quartz properties here in Fairview. While a revival in the mining interests in this camp is a matter for congratulation, it is more than doubtful if the present activity will not do the camp as a whole more harm than good. Very few properties of merit are being stockedï¿½ï¿½ï¿½the promoters confining their attention mostly to the undeveloped and hitherto unknown claims. In many cases the method of procedure has been to make a small preliminary cash payment, and then for the balance load up the owner with stock certificates. One company has made a decided improvement on this however, finding it cheaper and altogether more satisfactory to hire a man by the day to stake vacant quartz for thern. In this way they have acquired some number of claims. W. JAKES, M.D., CM., BY APPOINTMENT Resident Physician to Kettle River District. Office .: : Greenwood. B.C.
