"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.

PROMISCUOUS STAKING. The \" B. C.

Promiscuous staking is a very common practice in newly-established .mining- districts, and a certain class of prospectors devote a season's work exclusively to locating- large tracts of land, not with the expectation of discovering- mineral thereon and developing the find, but on the off-chance of selling- out in boom times. ->.- \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\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'/It is distinctly in the interests of the province that legislation should be introduced to discourag-e the industry'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Yet how to put a stop to wild-cat staking and at the same time throw no obstacle in the way of legitimate prospecting is a somewhat difficult problem and Mr. Carlyle's sug-g-estioii that a prospector hereafter should be obiig-ed to do assessment work to the value of $100 within sixty days of the recording of a find has raised a storm of objection in Kootenay districts, on ,the ground chief!3' that such a reg-ulation would discourag-e the poorer class of prospectors from following- their calling. A better plan, we think, is to allow no transfer or sale of any new location or an interest therein to be recorded unless assessment work has been previously performed. But even here you leave a loop-hole whereof the unscrupulous will take advantage, and after all it is questionable whether such an amendment would strike at the root of the evil. We would, therefore, submit the following sugg-estion in the hope that it will prove of some practical value : The government should appoint in every \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmining division an official sttrve3''or at an adequate salary. Every prospector recording* a claim would be obliged at the same time to notify this official, .who would set a date within a certain period for the'survey of the claim, and the owner be then compelled to cut out a trail (not merely blaze lines), following his location lines on the four sides. A moderate charge, payable tipon issuance of crown grant, would of course be required to cover the extra expenses \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDof . this system. If this plan were adopted it would, we believe, effectually check the present tendency to wild-cat staking and, moreover, materially reduce the difficulties of prospecting- in thickly timbered districts. Furthermore, official maps (kept up to date) of every mining- district should be obtainable at the g-overnment offices, and a prospector would thus at once be able to learn what land was vacant and .what was occupied. Ag-ain, a man \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDstaking- ground but failing- to record it .should be liable to a very heavy fine or a term of imprisonment. A Big Copper Property. \" In doing development work on the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDCopper King\" mineral claim in Boundary Creek (Deadwood) near Greenwood :some vei\"3' high ore has been struck. Not enough work has been done on the claim to, determine the extent of the ledge, but it can be traced through several claims, and on the Mother L,ode, which adjoins the Copper King on the south, it is over 200 feet wide. Considerable work has been done on this claim, and the width of the ledge determined by a crosscut tunnel which is over 300 feet long- and for over 200 feet is in solid ore. H. Marymont, who has just returned from the property is highly elated over the strike. He botig-ht the property'a 3rear ag-o without seeing- it. In speaking- of that country Mr. Marvmont savs that as soon as the railroad will reach the mines, business there, both mining- and mercantile, will be the larg-est in Canada. Many of the claims there have pay ore from the surface, and what is the best of it, it is of commercial value and in quantities that will pay to mine and ship.\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDRossland Miner. yjV^^'^-'V^/frT- yr. \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*-:.far \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 -f..# ^-v^^.^7:.^7-.^^>^.:'^:^;^.|yf77 7i ^Iv^TiFYX.- \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'< ^T~^7; .< :.--\"V^.-V.!,Vl\ -Vo- v] *M7I^ /!

The bonding- of the Snowshoe mineral claim by that very sticcessftil mining man g-enerally known as \" Patsy \" Clark is gratifying- in a double senses- first because the claim, judging- by the very many indications of the presence of large quantities of good grade ore, met with throughout the extensive prospecting done on it, gives much promise of developing into a valuable mine, and next because Mr. Clark and his associates, when they take hold of a mining property, usually develop it thoroughly and vigoi-ousPy, and that without unnecessary delay. There is, too, the consideration that most of the people who put money into mining take their cue from some prominent and successful mine operator. They are, as a rule, very like sheep, following their leader, and who could wish for a better \" bell-wether \"than Patsy ^ Clark, whose reputation for shrewdness and sound judgment is such that numbers of investors at orice conclude that a mining district he thinks good enough to operate in is also good enough for them to invest in ?\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' The, very fact that Mr. Clark has turned his attention to Boundary Creek and is operating in it, will be of itself an excellent advertisement for this district. The Snowshoe was 'located in Arpil 1893, by W..,: A. McDonald who afterwards sold to Robert Denzler, W* W. G-ibbs and Thos. McDonnell, but there has not been any subsequent chang-e of ownership. The claim was at one time, together with the Gold Drop and Monarch, bonded by Geo. Turner and F. C. limes, of Vancouver, representing the Montreal and B. C., P. & P. Co., but the Snowshoe bond was not taken up. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Ivatterly there have been several parties neg-otiating for it, but J. D. Harvey acting-for Mr. Clark, was the first one prepared to close a deal for it. This deal was made through ID. A. Bielenberg and J.' Lucy, as agents for the owners. The bond is for $50,000 payable in three equal instalments, at ..six, nine and twelve months from date. Meanwhile work, is to be continous, commencing- within ten days. Mr. Harvey will direct the mining work, which, it is understood will be pushed energetical^ from the start. Boundary Creek Celebrates. The Boundary Creek visitors to the Spokane Fruit Fair gave a banquet to themselves and friends at the Spokane hotel, Spokane, last Tuesday evening*.

W. D. Glaze has about finished his , contract for the work of improving- the road from Midway down the Kettle river valley to Curlew creek. The road as now laid out is certainly' a great improvement upon the old road. It entirely avoids crossing the river, which previously had to be forded at six different places, besides reducing the road distance between Midway and Curlew creek between three and four miles. Only about four miles of the fifteen miles of old road have been utilized,, there being between seven and eight miles of new road cut out, made and graded. Three rock points were encountered, and these were blasted off, this work involving the removal of several hundred yards of rock, and the construction of some very substantial trestles. Already the advantages the new road offers are being recognized by freighters and drivers of lighter vehicles, as well as by prospectors with pack horses, the travel over it being rapidly on the increase. It is probable that during the coming winter much of the travel from Marcus and Grand Prairie to Boundary Creek will be by this route. The improvement niade is due to the enterprise of the Midway Company, which has expended nearly $2,500 in carrying out this useful work. The people of Nelson, Wash., are now repairing- the connecting road. B. C. Ore for Wales. A contemporary states that Vivan & Sons, well-known smelter men ,of Swansea, Wales, are, through their Vancouver agent, offering to purchase B. C. ores upon the following terms : Seventy-five per cent, of the assay value of shipments, upon determination of this at Vancouver, and the balance, less transportation, charges, upon arrival of the ore at Swansea. It is asserted that the price offered by this Welsh firm for copper ore 7 is nearly double that obtainable from American buyers.. Several consignments of ore are reported to have already been sent forward, and it has been decided to at once establish well-equipped sampling works at Vancouver in this connection. Which Will He Take ? \"If the reports are true that Mr. Heinze has a force of engineers in the field surveying a route for a railroad between Penticton and the Columbia river, it is pertinent to ask the government to ascertain at once whether it is the intention of the Columbia & Western Railway Company to accept the land grant subsidy or the cash bonus of $4,000 per mile for the construction of that part of the road from Penticton to Boundary Creek. If the latter alternative is preferred, and it probably will be, the land reserved to the railway company should at once be thrown open to settlers.\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-B.

SUHSCKII'TION, S2.00 PEK YEAK, IN ADVANCE. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1897. GREENWOOD AND DISTRICT. Georg-e McKag-ue lost a horse last week, the animal having- died when out at pasture. 7 A. H. Harrison when in Greenwood last Tuesday reported g-ood progress being' made in sinking- the shaft on the B. C, Summit camp. J. Christie, veterinary surg-eori, was occupied on Monday and Tuesday last examining horses on the rang-es west of the lower part of Boundary creek. F. Ripple, M.E., Victoria, and J.. Lt. Smith, of Spokane, having- completed their examination of the Monarch and Tamarac claims, Greenwood camp, went out on last Sunday's stag-e. J. M. McGreg-or, P.I^.S., of Rossland, arrived by Tuesday's stag-e, having- come over for the purpose of survey ing- the Comstock mineral claim, Smith's camp, in which he is interested with others. Sinclair Inkster was taken to the Greenwood hospital last Sunday. He was suffering- with some internal trouble, relief from which he has since obtained under the skilful treatment of Dr. Jakes. Since his return from Baker creek K. A. Bielenberg- has been prospecting- the Forest Grove and Excelsior, two fractional claims lying- between the Anaconda and Marg-uerite, in Dead- Wood camp. It is reported that the railway survey \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDparty, in charg-e of Engineer Sullivan, has worked down from the summit of the divide to within two miles of Rock Creek, and is now working-from the .summit down towards the Okanaeran. Last Saturday Alderman Ham ill left Greenwood for Armstrong-, where business matters require his attention for a time. He has been granted leave of absence by the City Council, but it is unlikely he will be absent from this district any great leug-th of time. James McClung-, of Midway, who on Aug-ust 5th, met with a very serious .shooting- accident when out deer hunting\" > recovery to get about, his injuries being- chiefiy to his rig-lit hand, from which he has lost the thumb and the top of a fing-er, and to his left arm, which was broken between the elbow and shoulder. It is several weeks since he left the Greenwood hospital, and now he has so far is now well on the way towards Though maimed, he is able recovered that only an occasional visit to Dr. Jakes is necessary. Dr. J. W. Powell, of Victoria, accompanied by A. H. Craven, M. $., has been staying- at Anaconda for a few da3rs. Dr. Powell represents English capital, and Mr. Craven came in with him, in his professional capacity of mining- expert, to examine some mining- properties that had been offered to the former. The attention of the City Council is called to the unsafe condition of the sidewalk between Kerr & Flood's and Olson & Phelan's establishments on Government street. The planks are in places so far apart that ladies and children using- the sidewalk run much risk of serious injury. Two instances occurred lately\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDone of a lady and the other of a child\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDof afoot being- caug-ht between the planks. Andrew Hamilton, lately working- in the Old Ironsides tunnel, is ver}' anxious to ascertain the whereabouts of his 3roung-est brother, Alexander Hamilton, whoni he last heard of as living on Mill creek, Utah, in the fall of 1884. If anyone in this district should happen to have more recent tidings of the latter, Old Andy (as he calls himself) would take it as a great kindness to be informed thereof. Joseph McDowell, of Anaconda, is hauling- log's for Tillman's mil! at Mc- Cudd3r's. James Grant has a contract tor cutting- the timber. The mill is kept running- full time, orders coming- in freely from Camp McKinney and Fairview and neighboring parts. The lumber, both fir and pine, turned out is clear and otherwise of excellent quality, some of the boards running- 20 feet without a knot or flaw. A gang edg-er is being- added to the mill plant. R. H. Hutton, Jr., of Colorado, was at Boundary Creek for the first time early in the current week. He visited several of the more prominent of the mining- properties in Wellington and Greenwood camps, and afterwards went out on the Penticton stag-e. As he is associated with the owners of several dividend-paying- mines in Colorado it is hoped that his account of wha.t he saw in this district ma3r direct their attention to it, with a view to investment.

E. A. Bielenberg- returned last week from prospecting- the Honolulu claim at Baker creek, which joins Rock creek about twelve miles above the mouth of the latter. Mr. Bielenberg- owns the Honolulu group of three claims, the Honolulu, Angio-Saxon and Germanic. These are adjoining- claims located above some old placer working-s which were worked probably thirty years ag-o. Mr. Bielenberg- broug-ht in some nice- looking specimens from the Honolulu, upon which claim heTias done most of his work in that locality. One piece of rock obtained a little below the surface is honeycombed and gold, visible to the naked ey^e. occurs freely in the decomposed matter in the .cells. There is on the Honolulu a well defined ledg-e of porphyritic quartz eight feet in width and returning- assay values of from 60 cents to $7 in gold. About four feet from the main vein is a pay streak varying from twelve to eighteen inches in width, an averag-e assay yielding* $42 in,' gold. The rich specimen ore referred to above occurs on the top of this vein, which g-ets solid as it goes down. It appears to be a spur from the main vein. The latter has been stripped fors about 20 feet and crosscut at intervals for about 1000 feet, one open cut being nearly 15 feet iri depth. It can be traced down through, all three claims to the placer working's below, over a distance of more than 4000 feet. On the Anglo- Saxon a 20-foot body of white quartz, an assaj' from which g\"aye a g-old value of $2.40, junctions with the porphyritic 0 vein coming- in from the Honolulu, and with it crosses the Germanic. Another claim Mr. Bielenberg- has is the Empress, situated some five hundred yards east of the Anglo-Saxon. There is about five feet of arsenical iron and quartz, assa3rmg $4 on this claim, but the ore is apparently not in place, and more work is necessai-y- to find the ledge. These claims are on the surveyed route for the projected Columbia-Pen- ticton railway, the surve3r line passing* within 1000 feet of the Honolulu. The Anaconda. K. M. JE>. Munns, of Rossland who, with A. H. Woodhouse, last June bonded the Anaconda group of three claims, in Deadwood camp, started four men, on Mondaj'* the 11th inst., to drive a tunnel on the Anaconda claim. It is proposed to shorty put on a full force, but not until after the necessar}-* mine building-s have been completed. Meanwhile arrang-ements are being- made for the erection of these building-s, and other preparations are being forwarded for thoroughly prospecting- and developing the big- deposits of ore discovered on the Anaconda and partly opened up by E. A. Bielenberg-. It will be remembered that the Anaconda group consists of the Anaconda, Columbia and Kootenay claims, owned by Mr. Bielenberg, who did such effective surface prospecting, that when Mr. Woodhouse's attention was called to them he at once carefully sampled and then promptly bonded them. Being situated within a couple of.miles-of Greenwood, and in open country, they are easily accessible and offer few, if any, difficulties to expeditious working-. Mr. Munhs is in charg-e of the property and has as his foreman J; C. Hole, a Colorado mining- man of much experience. .*\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. ^- ' ' i PIONEER MERCHANT of 0 Anaconda, B,Cf -Q^=\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>- Can outfit Prospectors cheaper and better than any of his Competitors, wu^.^.n.miM.innn; -j._ i^jim.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDpT-.^Jj>\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDM\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .

He left, Greenwood on Friday morning-, and rode both to and from Fairview. A-large band of beef cattle from one of Mr. Ellis' rang-es passed through Boundary Creek district early in the week. These cattle were being-driven to Rossland;for market purposes. The meeting- of the shareholders of the Brandon &, Golden Crown Mining- Company called for Tuesdaj7-, 19th inst,,: to be held at Greenwood, has been postponed Until Tuesdays Nov. 2. Bert.

Davis recentlv sent some erood copper ore, obtained while doing- assessment work on- the Dan Harring-ton claim, near Pass creek, to the owners, Messrs. Steep and Mayer, Spokane. It is probable one of these g-entlemen will come in .shortly to look at the claim, with a view to letting- a contract for opening- up the ore vein. H3r. Franklin, ah experienced newspaper man.,''is looking- over the ground preparatory to establishing- a paper at some point in the ;i mining- belt.\" Mr. Franklin was offered inducements to locate at Fairview, but hearing- of the excellent.opening-for a. paper at Cascade City, is making- a tour of inspection before deciding-. A bonus is-offered- at both places. It was expected that before g-oing- to the coast from the Kootena}*- Sir Chas. Tupper would visit Boundary Creek, having- been cordially invited and urged by some prominent eastern shareholders in the Old Ironsides Mining- Company to. visit that company's mine in Greenwood camp. It seems, however, that this expectation is not likely to be realized just now, Sir Meickenzie Bowell, who was with Sir Charles for several clays in the Kootena}-, being- reported to have told a \"News-Advertiser \" representative that Sir Charles had informed him that he would not be able to visit the Boundary Creek district. J. J. 'Caulfield, J. C. McArthur and C. W. Tynan did a few days' shooting- and hunting in Summit camp this week. JR. T. Fvans, a recent arrival from Virden, Man., is now in charg-e of the liquor department at Rendell & Co. 's store. Jno. H. Morrison, of Deadwood camp, left yesterday for Osoyoos, to examine and do some work on a claim on Kru- g-er mountain. Frank Chadler, who built the cabins on the Jewel, has a contract to do similar work on the Anaconda, to which claim the Great Hopes wag-on road will shortly be extended. W. L. Hog-g-, of Montreal, arrived yesterday. Whilst here he will probably arrang-e for building- winter quarters for the miners working- on the Sunset claim, Deadwood camp. It is estimated that the pay rolls of Camp McKinney now total between $5,000 and $6,000 per month. As a consequence business is fairly g-ood and thing-s g-enerally are satisfactory. J. J. Caulfielcl and J. A. Russell, trading- as Russell & Co., hardware merchants, Greenwood, announce today that they have dissolved partnership, the former retiring- from the business. Thing-s are rather quiet in Long- Lake camp just now.

Charles Holt, from Fureka camp, was broug-ht to the Greenwood hospital last Tuesday, to be treated for rheumatism. It is pleasing- to find the merits and remedial advantag/es of' this deservedly popular institution so widely recog/nized and appreciated as to draw to it among- its patients even sufferers . from across the International boundai-y line. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'\"'.- Five men are working- on the Herbert Spencer claim, which lies about half-a-niile south of the Morrison, in Deadwood camp. The Herbert Spencer was sold by Paul Meyers to Fred. McMann, who has since accepted Mayor Wood's, bond for it for $9,000, pa3rable ten per cent, at the end of this year and the balance about nine months hence. Apparently the '' 3rellow kid '' species of journalism does not find much favor with the nierchants of Grand Forks; notwithstanding- the alternate whining- and bulldozing- for patronag-e made by the amateurs who are endeavoring to eke out an existence in a foreign land, they have been oblig-ed to resort to \" patent outsides \" to keep g-oing-. And the Spokane-printed side of the sheet is a distinct improvement, too. Two, cabins have latelv been built for the men working- on the Great Hopes claim, Deadwood camp, and Mr. Fox and his men moved, into them last Weclnesda3r. The owners of the Great Hopes, Peter Larsen, of Helena, L. L. Greenoug-h, of Missoula, and T. F. Wren, of Spokane, intend to shortly crown grant their other Deadwood claims, the Toronto and Plutonia, to secure them ag-ainst any possibility of being- jumped. MacDouald & Hall finished their contract for making- the ditch to divert the waters of Boundaiy Creek on Wednesday evening-. They have cleared and grubbed the ground 36 feet wide for 817 feet and for the same distance have excavated a ditch six feet in depth and twelve feet wide at the top and four feet at the bottom. The ditch is in four separate leng-ths, and gives the creek a straig-ht run -where, within the town limits, there were four bends. C. 2Q. Shaw, P. L. S., went down to Rock creek on Wednesday in connection with the survey of certain lands for J. Douglas and Mayor Wood. Hans Giese ag-ain visited Greenwood this week.

R03Y Government Eng-i- neer in British Columbia, reports the result of his survey of the six mile creek connecting- Dog- Eake with Penticton. The stream averaging- about 100 feet in width, was found to be filled with congested drift, snags and over- hang-ing-trees. A clearing* party,was ' engaged under contract to clear the creek in 30 days, by which time a stout stern-wheel steamer specially constructed for these waters was to be ready to move freight. Mr. Roy says that this work will give clear navigation from Penticton to the mining- camps for 16 miles and will do away with the hauling- by teams over the worst piece of public road in the district. Qwing- to the almost impassa- bility of this road, freight for the '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD, camps in the Boundary Creek district fa is piled up at Penticton.\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNews- Advertiser. More Romancing. The Grand Forks Miner recently published a visionary; article in which it gave \" the sum total of ore estimated to be producible daily \" for smelting- at Grand Forks or any other available point in the district, within ninety days of the \"mines\" -named being- \" properly equipped arid operated.\" What was stated to be a partial list of these mines\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDvery few of -which, by the way, may properly be called \" mines \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwas given. This named 90 properties, the estimated daily output from which was placed at 3120 tons. These figures have been quoted editorially b}r the Rossland Miner, which is to be regretted, since that widely-circulated journal has a reputation to keep up. To those conversant with the facts, much of the article referred to is pure romancing-, as is also the sug-g-estion that such properties as the Mother Iyode, Big- Copper, or indeed am^ of the Boundary Creek claims or mines, will eventually send ore to Grand Forks for treatment. When the time arrives for a smelter to be established for the local treatment of Bounda^ Creek ores it will be located at a more convenient place than Grand Forks\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin fact negotiations are now being- carried on with the object of erecting- a smelter on BoundaryCreek CAMP MCKINNEY. It is reported here that a three- fourths interest in the Okanagan claim, which adjoins the Cariboo on the south, has been obtained by the Cariboo Gold Mining- Company under a $15,000 bond, ten per cent, down and the balance in 30 days. The remaining- fourth is held by John Moran, an old-timer well known at Boundary Creek, particularly in connection with the Big- Copper claim, Copper camp, who is not disposed to sell it. The steam plant recently installed at the Minnehaha, mine is now at work and g-ood progress is being- made in developing* the mine. J. W. Nelson and his bride were g-iven a kindl3r welcome here one night last week. They had retired to rest at Cameron's hotel, when a number of friends paid them the compliment of serenading- them. They soon made their appearance, and a pleasant hour followed, the impromptu programme including\" music, songs, recitations, cong-ratulatoiy speeches and refreshments. Mrs. Nekson quickly won the hearty g-ood will of all by her vivacity and sociability. J. A.

While admitting that the investment of three hundred dollars a few months ago in a grub stake for two men,! taking in exchange a half interest in their ciaims, .would have resulted in his being worth a million dollars to-day, Mr. Ogilvie modestty disclaimed any credit for refusing to invest, and it is almost certain that had he known at the time \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ;7beyond.-ai^. possibilit3r of doubt that the investment of the $300 would have been as profitable as it has proved, his course of action would have been the same. \"I had to act up there as a sort of arbitrator, and I was not willing,\" said he, \" to place nryself in a position where ni3r personal interests might \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhave influenced, my judgment.\" .\" Regret it-'?\"- Mr. Ogilvie continued. \" No, not for a moment.
