' /\. >/\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.', -.^ /.... ^TjOHE} Boundary Creek district consists of that portion jL\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD of British Columbia drained by \" Boundary creek which, flowing in a southerly direction/letaptaes into. the Kettle river at Midway, on the Interna|^fi^.^4irie/^f0\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> miles west of Trail creek. The area, comprising';over^O] square miles, has an elevation above sea level of from 1,800 to 5,000 feet. The hills are rounded and timbered;throughout with pine, fir and tamarack. The district is 'reached, from Spokane by S. F. & N. railway to Marcus, 103 miles ; thence by daily stage, 55 miles, to Greenwood, the centre of. the district. A stage line connects with the C. P. R. -at Penticton, at the foot of Okanagan lake. It is very improbable that the district will remain without a railroad much longer ; surveyors are now in the field and it is gen- < erally understood that construction will start in the spring. GEOLOGY AND ORES. Altered sedimentary arid metamorphic rocks, occurring with numerous eruptive 'porphyries' and 'diorites', flank the basal granites, which occupy the upper portion of the creek. The ores of the district are fairly represented by the samples on exhibit. They may be conveniently divided into : I. Copper ores ; II. Heavy sulphide ores ; III. Concentrating quartz ores ; IV. Free milling ores ; V. High grade shipping ores. I.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOf the Copper ores on exhibit, Greenwood camp is represented by the Old Ironsides, Knob Hill, Brooklyn, Ci- monne, Stemwinder, Snowshoe, Rawhide, and Standard. Most of these deposits appear to occur between limestone and some eruptive rock. The ore bodies are wide, occurring up to 100 ft. in width. The gangue is very basic, consisting of calcite, specularite, quartz and chloritic matter, the silica in the ore ranging from 7 to 30 percent. The average copper value would be at least 5 per cent., with about $15 in .gold per ton. The Ironsides and Knob Hill have a 60 h.-p. boiler, 4-drill compressor, pump and hoist, and are working 15 men at present. From Summit camp, ores are to be seen from the \" B.C.,\" Minnie Moore, lamina, and R. Bell. These ores seem likewise to occur as contact deposits between limestone and porphyry, but are usually narrower, richer in copper and poorer in gold than the veins of Greenwood camp. The veins are from 5 to 20 ft. wide ; theore is chalcopyrite, with \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDquartz and calcite, and often pyrrhotite and magnetite. Thirteen men are now at work on the B.C. ; the vein is 20 ft. wide and will average 10 per cent, copper. A complete plant of mining machinery will be installed as soon as possible. Samples from Deadwood camp include the Mother Lode, Sunset, and Buckhorn. Here again the deposits occur between bodies of limestone and porph3'ry. On the Mother Lode the vein is 176 ft. in width, having been crosscut by a 210 ft. tunnel. The copper pyrites occurs with magnetite, calcite, hornblende and quartz, with a good tenure in gold and copper. Seven men are at work on the Mother Lode and six on the Sunset. From Copper camp are exhibited samples from The Copper, King Solomon and Copper Queen. These are large deposits occurring- between limestone and poryphryte, and showing a width of from 20 to 70 ft. The ore consists of chalcocite, cuprite and some native copper, occurring in \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDquartz and haematite and assaying 8 to 12 per cent, copper, with small gold and silver values. Wellington camp : Samples exhibited are from the Golden Crown, Winnipeg and Calumet. These^veins occur in 'dior- ite' and vary from 18 inches to 18 feet in width. The ore is pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, with considerable quartz and a very high average gold value, a large proportion of these ores running $40 and over in gold per ton. The Golden Crown owners have ordered a complete equipment of machinery. The Winnipeg is about to start work and will also put in machinery. White's camp : Samples from the Oro and City of Paris. The ore is chalcopyrite and iron pyrites in quartz, carrying 8 to 10 per cent, copper and $4 to $13 gold. Samples are also exhibited from the Bruce and Texas, in Graham's camp, carrying good values in copper with some gold and silver. \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'. . \, II.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOf the heavy sulphide ores on exhibit are the Arlington, Morrison, Great Hopes, Aberdeen and Golden Treasure. These consist of massive sulphides, including mis- pickel and pyrite and chalcopyrite. The values of these are usually high, $15 in gold being an average: III.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDConcentrating quartz ores. These include exhibits from White's camp\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNo. 7, Lincoln, New York,, St. Lawrence, Mabel and Jack of Spades. These veins occur in schists and dolomite and vary from 2% to10 feet in width. The ore is somewhat,varied, consisting of different metallic sulphides in quartz ; these include galena, pyrites, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, and sphalerite, and assay values range up to 100 ounces silver and $50 gold. ' o Long Lake ores : Jewel, North Star, Lake View, Dinero Grande, Electric and Rhoderic Dhu. These veins occur in granite, mica schist and quartzites and are from 14 inches to 6 ft. in width. The quartz carries galena, iron and copper pyrites, and pyrrhotite with tellurides of lead,' silver, and gold and silver, and some free gold. Assay values have a very wide range, but $15 to $30 would include general averages. Fxtehsive development has been carried on all summer on the Jewel and Dinero Grande and ah adit is now being driven on the North Star. Providence camp : G. A. R., Springdale, Twin and Spotted Horse. The veins occur in the granite and are from 2 to 4 feet in width ; the quartz is mineralized with galena, zinc blende, chalcopyrite and iron pyrites, and have high gold and silver values. The Crown Point, from James' creek, shows an extensive body of galena, with pyrites and zinc blende, occurring in limestone. A large portion of this ore will carry 20 per cent, lead and about 20 ounces silver, with a little gold. IV.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDFree Muring : The O. B., occurring in granite in Providence camp, and the Republic, Last Chance, Non Such and Boundary Falls, in Smith's camp, occurring in slate, represent some of the free-milling \"ores of the district. The width of these veins is from 1 ft. to 5 ft., with high grade gold and silver values. Over 600 ft. of work has been done on the Republic, Last Chance and Non Such. On the Boundary Falls a shaft is now down 75 ft., and on the O. B. is a 30 ft. shaft. V.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDShipping Ores : The veins of high grade ore lie in the granite or in its immediate vicinity. Samples are shown from the D. A., Gold Bug, San Bernard, Skylark, Crescent, Last Chance and Combination. These are narrow veins, from a few inches to 2 ft. in width, but the ore is high grade in both gold and silver. The quartz carries galena, zinc blende, mispickel, iron and copper pyrites, argen- tite, ruby silver, and native gold and silver. Shipments have been made from the D. A. and Skylark, yielding in carload lots 300 ozs. silver and $30 gold per ton from the Skylark, and $103.15 gold and 74.7 ozs. silver per ton from the D. A. A shipment of 10 tens from the Providence went $200 in gold per ton. Besides the ores, the district furnishes coal of a good coking quality. Analyses made by Guess Bros, give the following composition : (1) Volatile 'matter, 28.3 per cent.; coke, 71.7 per cent.; ash, 6.2 per cent. (2) Volatile matter, 15.7 per cent. ; coke, 84.3 per cent. ; ash, 15.4 per cent. This coal occurs at Rock Creek, 12 miles west of Midway. That Boundary Creek possesses unusually promising mining investments is a statement borne out by facts, and the increasing investments of outside capital show that the fact is thoroughly appreciated. We want you to examine our exhibit and then visit the Boundary Creek district, and you will find nothing over-stated.

His Worship Mayor Wood has received the rather gratifying information from Hon. G. B. Martin, Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works that the government had decided to pass an order in council for the sum of $600 to assist in the construction of the much needed road between Summit camp and Greenwood. The road will cost about $1800 and the government were asked to contribute $1200. While the appropriation of $600 is small, still \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD it is better than nothing and the citizens of Greenwood will do what they have been doing for the past two years \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbuilding public roads by private contribution. The work will begin at once and before snow falls it is expected that there will be a first class wagon road between Greenwood and the many- promising properties in Summit camp. The bulk of the trade of Summit camp comes to Greenwood now and the road will be of the greatest convenience for carrying in the large amount of supplies required for the many men employed in the camp. It will also have the additional advantage of going through .IHiolt pass, the lowest pass through the mountains to Grand Forks. . Street Improvements. It is-, remarkable-what- a decided improvement a little .money judiciously expended will bring about. Three weeks ago the principal streets of Greenwood were in a dilapidated,'unbusinesslike condition. I/arge stumps, huge rocks, uneven grades and rubbish of all kinds on the business streets gave visitors anything but a favorable impression of the enterprise of the citizens. The Board of Works secured an appropriation of $100 and put two men to work. To-day Government, Greenwood and Copper streets are not an eye sore. The stumps and rocks have been removed, holes have been filled and other improvements carried out. The expense has been kept well within the appropriation. If larger works undertaken by the street committee will give the same general satisfaction as that already transacted but little fault will be found. The Last Chance. Anew double-compartment shaft is being sunk on the Last Chance, in Skylark camp. It will be sunk to a \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDdepth of 175'feet,, when it is expected to strike the lode. Some exceedingly high grade ore has recently been taken from this property. There is on the property an incline which last year was sunk to about 100 feet; this year, under the superintendenc3r of Martin McGrath, drifting was commenced at the 70 ft. level. The drift was run in about 30 feet through the lode matter without meeting with the foot-wall, but a vein of rich ore from eight to ten inches in thickness and widening- as it goes down, was cut. Mr. McGrath received instructions from the company last week to sink a vertical shaft. J. B.

T. Smith, Thos. Walsh, and probably J. G. Haas and others from Greenwood intend taking- in the Fair. The exhibit was sent by special rig- to Marcus on Monday last. The S. F. & N. Railway Company made arrangements to carry all mineral exhibits to the Fair on the 28th ult. The Greenwood exhibit could not reach there by that date but Mr. .Corbin during- his visit here sent instructions to have the Greenwood exhibit carried free by his railway to the Fair grounds. The exhibit was a very creditable one and was much praised by visitors who saw it before leaving- Greenwood.

The exhibit should result beneficially to Greenwood and the district and bring- in investors to examine properties. REDISTRIBUTION. Ah effort is being- made by the g-overnment org-an to explain away the remarks of Hon.. Mr'. Turner regarding redistribution at the last session of the House. The Colonist is \" authorized to deny in most positive ternis that he ever, in any speech delivered in the legislature or elsewhere,, said that it was the intention of the government to defer redistribution until the last moment before the elections of 1898.\" The writer of this article was in the house at the time and heard Mr. Turner's speech referred to. It was in reply to certain criticisms from Mr. Semlin because the g-overment had neglected to include redistribution in the speech from the throne. The Premier then distinctly led the house to believe that the government would bring down a redistribution bill at the session immediately preceding the election. Mr. Semlin and probably every other member of the house so understood him, and we believe that it was with the object of securing such a pledg-e that Mr. Semlin offered the remarks which he then made. Mr. Semlin and the members of the Opposition were satisfied with the pledge made by the premier, and it would be binding were it made by any other premier. At that time Hon. Mr. Turner felt perfectly safe in promising redistribution, but now he is apparently afraid of giving the people proper representation and intends to keep the pocket boroughs until after the election. Mr. Martin's Promises. The regard which the provincial government appears to have for Hon. G. B. Martin's promises is only on a par with the slight confidence of the electors in seeing these promises fulfilled. During Mr. Martin's visit here, he told of the roads which were to be built, of the grades to be lessened, of the hospitals to be assisted, of the appointments to be made and of many other things which would bring satisfaction to the citizens of Boundary Creek. Those who had some knowledge of the Chief Commissioner and of the government of which he is a member were not overjoyed with the plethora of promises. The result proves that they did right to largely discount the utterances of the Chief Commissioner. So far the result has been to split the appropriation needed for the Summit road in two and to give the people of Greenwood the privilege of again overtaxing themselves to construct roads which ought to be constructed by the government. Hon. Mr. Martin tries to be a modern Barmecide. He seeks to make the hungry Shacabacs' mouths water with an abundance of good things arid when they still complain of-any aching void in the abdominal regions, he would in all probability produce something real but his colleagues have so little confidence in him that they usually ridicule the promises which he makes. Boundary Creek would have fared better had the attention of someone other than the Chief Commissioner, been called to her needs. His Intentions. Railway men as a rule do not care to talk very much until they are ready to act and consequently but little surprise or disappointment need be felt at Mr. Corbin's reticence. The people of Boundary Creek were led by reports to believe that Mr. Corbin had his surveyors in the field and that he was about to push his railway system into the district. Mr. Corbin does hot act hastily. He counts the cost and considers carefully every step incident to construction before making his intentions known.

Victoria Bonded. Mr. J. P. Graves bonded the Victoria claim adjoining- the Ironsides from Mr. John Stevens. The Victoria is a promising property and Mr. Graves intends doing considerable assessment work thereon this fall ed in the bond is $10,000 The figure mention- A Mishap. Ill-luck attended the mineral exhibit from Boundary Creek district shortly after it was started on its journey to Spokane. Going up , the steep grade above Anaconda, the horses, were unable or unwilling to pull and the wagon went backwards down the grade. Boxes were broken, big chunks of rich ore went tumbling dpwn the mountain side and the carefully prepared exhibit was turned topsy-turvy. The teamster- is willing to make an afridavitt that every particle of ore was carefully collected from the mountain side and replaced in the wagon but it will not be surprising if in after years some enthusiastic prospector searching for gold in the locality will find wonderfully rich float and will then make vain efforts to- discover the ledge. The Granite Greek Tragedy. The latest report from Granite Creek is to the effect that the coroner's jury after hearing all the evidence brought in the following-verdict : \"We, the jury empaniielled to enquire into the matter of the death of James- Hamilton after hearing and duly considering the evidence given in this- case, do \"find that James Hamilton came to his death by a gun shot wound, said gun being in the hands of Mrs. Kuphemia Rabbitt. And it is our opinion and belief that Mrs. EHiphemia Rabbitt shot the said James Hamilton in self-defense.\" Mrs. Rabbitt was brought before Messrs. Sutton and Clapperton; justices of the peace for preliminary hearing on the charge of shooting James Hamilton. The evidence taken was- practically the same as at the inquest- Mrs. Rabbit was committed to stand her trial at Kamloops. *v .s\ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD f'ir\" fir\" A convention of the Liberal Party of British Columbia will be held in the CITY MALL, NEW WEST/MINSTER.

P; Graves, of Spokane, the general manager of the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill Companies, arrived in Greenwood on Tuesday and spent the week at the mines. Mr. Graves is well pleased with the progress made in erecting the machinery ; everything being now in position and ready f or operation. On Wednesday the work of pumping, out the shaft was undertaken and the water was lowered 25 feet in 15 minutes. A large bunk house and other buildings have been erected and during the winter a manager's office and an assaying establishment will be built. To a Times representative Mr. Graves stated that development work , would be pushed on the Ironsides during the winter. Double shifts would be engaged all winter. The shaft will be sunk to the 200 foot level, crosscut- ting and drifting will be. carried on and the shaft will be lowered to the 300 foot level. Addition al men will be employed as soon as the work of drifting and crosscutting can be started, g Mr. Graves has given the ,. order for an electric battery for shooting and it will arrive in about a week. This is an ingenious device by which at least 12 shots can be fired simultaneously, making a cleaner and smoother break than wlien the shots are fired by hand. Although the Ironsides has now a well equipped plant additional machinery is to be secured. A compressor will be purchased and a hoist and pump for the Knob Hill. The latter will be operated with air from the compressor on the- Ironsides. An \" extra boiler will also be purchased. The ore on the Ironsides is improving, being much softer, and the gold values improve. Mr. Graves believes that the ore will concentrate and to thoroughly demonstrate this ten tons will be shipped to secure tests. Should the results be as expected Mr. Graves will purchase a concentrator while in Montreal. He leaves for the east about October 20th. The eastern shareholders of the companies are showing considerable interest in Boundary Creek. Mr. Miner the president of the famous Granby Rubber Co., intended coming out here this fall but business arrangements prevented. He will come to Boundary Creek in the spring however. Mr. Miner is one of the biggest shareholders in the company. Mr. Graves also stated that at the suggestion of Rufus Pope, M. P., who is a director, Sir Charles Tupper will visit Boundary Creek and look over the Knob Hill, Ironsides and other properties. Sir Charles is now on his way from the east to British Columbia. Mr. Graves fully believes that next year active railway construction into Boundary Creek will be begun by Mr. Heinze or the C. P. R. He was pleased with the substantial appearance of Greenwood and as he stated he is anxious to see it a thriving centre as his properties are adjacent. Unless a railway is built through Greenwood camp, they will have to bring their ores down by a tramway to Greenwood. All business connected with the mines will be transacted at Greenwood where all supplies will be purchased. Nothing but the finest brands of liquors, wines and cigars kept at the Windsor. -\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD : . ? -. r/i we :. .,:'^-:-. HAVE / ONLY .

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1897. A QUESTION OF PATRIOTISM. A short time ag-o Captain Adams wrote a long- letter to the Midway Advance, his theme being- railway matters. He sug-gfested that unless those interested in the construction of Canadian roads or the government woiild show more interest in securing- a railway into Boundary Creek district, Mr. Corbin would build from the American side. The captain held that there is no sentiment in trade and that the people of Boundary Creek district would hail a railway from this country to the south. The Rossland Miner doesn't like the captain's letter and tells him so. It even deals in insinuations that do it no credit and calls the captain unpatriotic. It is said that patriotism is the refuge of a scoundrel and is often the cloak under which the newspaper scribbler attempts to conceal,hfs real intentions. To our mind it is infinitely more patriotic to advocate the construction of a railway from the American side whereby Boundary Creek district can secure cheap supplies and mining- machinery and an outlet for her ores, than is the Rossland Miner's policy of placing- a tax on the output of the mines in the shape of an export duty on ore. Captain Adams' policy if carried out would result beneficial^ to Boundary Creek and the whole province. The policy which the Rossland Miner now advocates, if accepted, would result disastrously to the mining- industry and would benefit no one excepting- the g-entleman who has hired the Miner to publish articles that are repug-nant to the views of nine-tenths of the people of Kootenay and Boundar}7- Creek. Captain Adams' patriotism is of a much higher order than the Miner's. Personally we rather liked Captain Adams' letter. We were pleased to see that in the mountains of British Columbia the military Englishman had rid himself of the prejudicies which usually g-o with him and that he was not willing to see the interests of a rich mining- district sacrificed to a question of sentiment. He, in common with all others who are interested in Boundary Creek district believes we are as safe in looking- for relief from the enterprising American as from the hungry subsid)r- hunting- schemers who are rich in promises but who attempt nothing- until their thirst for public money is satisfied. Contract for Cedar. Maj,ror Wood of Greenwood and Thos. Ha-rdv of Anaconda who own valuable and extensive timber limits on Christina Eake, have awarded a contract for cutting- 500,000 ft. of cedar, and placing- in a boom in the lake. In the spring- they intend erecting- a saw mill on the lake, and railway construction will create a great demand for all kinds of lumber. The cedar is of the best quality. . , : Business Change. R. Buckley has disposed of the harness shop and saddlery to Mr. Butler of Greenwood and left on Wednesday forvMyers Falls. Mr. Butler has removed the stock to his building- on Copper street where he will carry on the business. Mr. Buckley's store and lot on Government street has been purchased by Georg-e McKag-ue. A Daily Mail. The: Greenwood postoffice has received instructions to send the mail daily to Grand Forks. This would have been done a week ag-o but the postmaster at Grand Forks refused to handle the extra mail unless paid therefor. , The postoffice inspector has taken the matter Up, however, and in all probability the people of Greenwood will enjoy the advantages of a daily mail seryice in the future. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting- of the stockholders in the Brandon & Golden Crown Co., will be held at the office of Mr. G. H. Collins, g-eneral manag-er, at Greenwood on Tuesday, the 19th day of Oct., at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of electing-officers and transacting-other business. 3 H.

Mr. James Martin, a prominent hardware merchant of Rossland, was among the visitors to Greenwood this -week. Mr. Martin was formerly of Vernon where he has still a branch store. He was mayor of that town for some time. Mr. Martin visited Summit and other -Camps and was pleased with the outlook. It is just possible that he will open out a business in Greenwood. Mr. Martin is a prominent Liberal, being president of the Rossland Liberal Association. He is a skilled fighter and it was principally due to his ability as an organizer and canvasser that Hon. Forbes G. Vernon was defeated in Last Yale at the last provincial election. Mr. Martin is in favor of the Liberal party taking a hand in the next provincial fight, not to secure a party advantage but to have a strong organization fighting- for good government in the province. The opposition at present are not properly organized and he was afraid would not be unless under new conditions. Mr. Martin left for Rossland Tuesday. on The Last Spike. The last spike on the Trail-Robson branch of the Columbia & Western Railway was driven on Monday morning in the presence of man)>- spectators. Regular trains are now running- from Robson and coke is now coming in that way for the smelter. The new branch is 62 miles long. To Sell the Le Roi. It is rumored that an English syndicate represented by Fdgar Rathbourne and William Hamilton Merritt, who visited Boundary Creek a few weeks ago, is negotiating for the purchase of the Le Roi mine. Color is lent to the rumor by the fact that Senator George Turner and Col. Peyton, the principal shareholders in the Le Roi, are leaving shortly for London on business. They are very reticent about what this business is but they will not deny that it is in connection with a sale. Messrs. Rathbourne and Merritt have examined, the mine and have spent nearly two weeks in so~~d.bi.ng.- The identity of the prospective purchasers is not known but the figure is quoted at $5,000,000 or ^1,000,000. A Runaway Accident. Mr. G. T. Wells, a rancher living near Midway was brought to the Greenwood hospital on Saturday last suffering \"from injuries received through his team running away. Mr. Wells was driving- from his ranch when the team became unmanageable on a steep grade. The wagon was capsized and Mr. Wells had three or four ribs fractured and was otherwise injured.

A provincial Liberal convention will be held at. New \"Westminster on October the 8th. The call for the convention has been issued at the request of the Iviberal associations by Mr. William Templeman, the editor and proprietor of the Victoria Times, the chief I/iberal paper of the province. The object is to thoroughly organize the Liberal party throughout the province and discuss any matters affecting- the Iyiberal interests. H}ach electoral district should send at least 15 delegates. Liberal associations will elect their' own delegates, but liberals resident in localities where Iyiberal associations do not exist are cordially invited to attend and take part in the proceedings. Some objection has been taken to the holding- of a convention but surely it is within the province of a party to hold a convention to discuss matters relating- to party management and party policy. Interested parties fear that the Liberals may take a hand in the next provincial election and consequently the advocates of the present provincial g-overnment and a few opposed to the government who Have, axes to grind, denounce the holding- of a convention. As far as we are aware it is not the intention of the Liberals to claim any party advantag-e . from any success,, which may attend their efforts to bring- about g-ood government in the province. Conservatives opposed to the present provincial g-overnment need fear nothing- o from the Iviberal convention.\" We hope that E)ast Yale will be well represented. Other districts in the province are electing- their deleg-ates and at the present writing- it looks as if the convention at New Westminster will be the largest and most representative political convention ever held in British Columbia. Granite Creek Tragedy. News was received here early in the week that on Saturday, the 18th inst., James Hamilton a well known prospector and miner was shot and killed by Mrs. Thos. Rabbitt. From the particulars received it is learned that Hamilton forced an entrance into Rabbitt's house and attempted to assault Mrs. Rabbitt. Hamilton is a big- muscular fellbw and the woman in self defense seized a loaded shot gum and fired. Hamilton received a terrible wound. Mrs. Rabbitt then soug-ht assistance. Hamilton was removed from the house and a messenger was sent for Dr. Sutton of Nicola Iyake but the unfortunate man died early Sunday morning-. Hamilton resided near Granite Creek for a number of j'ears. He was mining- crazy but was otherwise thought to be sane enoug-h. The latest report is to the effect that Mrs. Rabbitt is being held by the provincial police pending an inquiry into the affair. William Graham the proprietor of the road house at Kdwards' Ferry was among the visitors to Greenwood this week. Mr. Graham with considerable enterprise bridged the Kettle river at that point arid as a result the bulk of travel goes his waj', as the shortest route to and from Marcus is by IDd- wards' Ferry.

A new strike is reported on the Pathfinder mine on the North Fork. The strike is about 250 feet east of the old workings. The ore is copper pyrites assajdng about 20 per cent, copper. W. McCurrach and brother who own several promising properties in Kimberly camp, rode over from Rossland c this week and left on Wednesday for Victoria. They intend riding their G horses to Hope. The New Westminster Fair will open on Tuesday next and will continue throughout the week. While there will be but few visitors from Boundary Creek, this exhibition is quite popular with upper* country farmers. , Mr. M. Dickie, the manager of the Bank of .Halifax, which has just opened an office at Rossland visited Greenwood this week. He expects to return to the district after getting the branch at Rossland in running order. Local surveyors are being kept busy at present surveying mineral claims for crown grants. Mr. C. 2Ei. Shaw is at present surveying the Snowshoe while Messrs. Kerby & Coryell are also in the mountains surveying claims. A private letter from Mr. Honey of North Dakota who is one of the principal shareholders in the new Winnipeg company contains the information that he intends coming here shortly with a view of commencing active work on the mine. County Court will be held at Midway to-day. There are several cases to be tried in which Greenwood parties are interested. It is not yet known whether His Honor, Judge Spinks, will preside. Court will be held at Grand Forks on Monday. : Mayor Wood has bonded the Herbert j Spencer claim in Deadwood camp and j has four men at work. The Herbert \ Spencer is a most promising property j and if it turns out as well as the sur- j face showings indicate, the work of I development will be continuous. i The attention of the postoffice inspector is called to the carelessness and indifference of the person in charge of the postoffice at Grand Forks. The citizens of Greenwood, after waiting for months to receive from the postmaster-general a service commensurate with the importance of the city and district, subscribed $20 per month as an inducement for the stage line to carry the mail to' and from Grand Forks \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDdaily. The arrangement appeared to be satisfactory to everyone but the post master at Grand Forks. He refused to handle the extra mail unless paid therefor. The postoffice inspector was communicated with and that gentleman gave instructions to the post-mas- ter at Grand Forks to send mail to Greenwood daily. The citizens of Greenwood enjoyed a daily mail for two days when the stage driver found the postoffice at Grand Forks deserted. After spending half an hour in the work of attempting to arouse the lethargic gentleman who has charge of the office, without success, he came to Greenwood without the mail. Whether the post-master at Grand Forks is justified in demanding additional salary or not does not concern us, but when the residents of Greenwood contribute the necessary money to secure a daily mail they can in all fairness ask the post- office inspector to see that his instructions are carried out. It so happened that a business man of Greenwood was compelled to go on a business trip at considerable loss to himself because he had not received a letter which was held over at Grand Forks through the indifference of the postoffice officials at that point.

Dear Sir*: I am in receipt of your letter of the 18th inst, and in reply I beg to advise you that a mineral claim on which the assessment work has not been recorded within a year from the date of the record, becomes vacant and, abandoned and is open to re-location. I am sir, Very Truly, C. A. R. Eambi,y, G. C. The records at : Midway will show that the work if done was not recorded within the year, and'Mr. Eambly's letter will certainly explain that our title to the property was good. After having the claim recorded Mr. Fox, who had a contract on the adjoining property, the \" Great Hopes,\" and who as I then understood was to have done the work on the \" Plutonia,\" but through an oversight of his he failed to comply with the law. After having this talk with Fox I told him I would abandon my interest in the claim provided I received the money which I expended for recording, but as Vaughn was an equal partner with me, I could not transfer his interest and as he found a ledge on the claim \" Plutonia \" more than three months prior to its expiration he felt jastified in receiving some compensation for his trouble and therefore asked and ereceived the sum of $75 for his interest from Fox, and for which the charge of blackmail is preferred. I received not one cent as compensation for my interest and am loser of the recording fees as Fox never remitted them to me. In conclusion I will say that I most emphaticall3rdeny the charge preferred against me by the Rossland Miner, and furthermore if the party or parties who wrote the , article wish to go into further details they can receive satisfaction. By giving this letter publication in your paper you will greatly oblige, Yours Truly, . '.W. S. FLETCHER. Capt. J. A.
