C Tuesday, December 9, 1902.\nNo. H\nI V.,V. & E. Construction Work\nto the West to Commence at Once.\nThe following dispatch from Great\nFalls,-^Iontana, coincides with the\nassurances made by Mr. 'fames J.\nH-ill to the delegation from the\nBoundary which appeared before\nt% railway committee of the privy\ncouncil at Ottawa, and some reliance\nmay therefore b placed in it:\nSiems & Shields have been awarded the contract for extending the\nVancouver, Victoria & Eastern railway from a connection with the\nbranch near Curlew to the coast.\nWork is to begin at once. The\ncross sectioning for the first 16 miles\nof miles of construction has been\ncompleted and work on this part of\nthe line is to begin immediately.\nFrom Curlew the line follows the\nKettle river to Midway, and then\ngoes down Meyers creek to Okanogan. In this part of the route the\nroad crosses the international boundary three times. From Okanogan\nwestward the engineers have not\ndefinitely located the line, but will\ndo so as rapidly as possible.\nTh'1 construction of the entire 380\nmiles to the coast is to proceed as\nrapidly as possible. There is much\nheavy work te be done between\nOkanogan and the coast. It is estimated that it will take three years\nto complete the entire road.\nAnother new bit of work to be\ndone at once by these contractors\nis the construction of the spur into\nthe Granby smelter. This has been\ntied up by injunctions, but Resident\nEngineer Stuart has orders to go\nahead with the work immediately.\nGRAND FORKS COUNCIL\nThe only novel feature connected\nwith last night's meeting of the\nGrand Forks city council was the\nj rJsence of Mayor Holland, who occupied the chair for the first time in\nmany months. All the aldermen\nwere present, except Matheson.\nWith the exception of ordering the\nusual number of bills paid, very\nlittle business was transacted.\nA committee consisting of Dr.\nMcDonald, A. 0. Cochrane and J.\nM. Holland from the skating rink\nwas present, and made a request\nthat the city supply the rink with\nfree water and lights. On motion,\nthe request was granted.\nA resolution was passed authorizing the purchase by the city of 25\ncopies of \"Grand Forks Illustrated\"\nfromW. H. Carre.\nIt was decided to make the city\nteam ornamental as well as useful,\nand with thnt end in view a resolution was passed authorizing the purchase of a sleigh and set of, hells for\nthese hard working animals.\nWILL SOON fit READY\nGood Progress Being Made\nin Building the Skating Rink.\nA well attended meeting of the\nsubscribers to the skating rink was\nheld in the board of trade rooms\nlast Saturday evening, when the size,\nlocation, and best method of constructing the rink were discussed at\nlength.\nThe tennis court, on Victoria\navenue, was finally decided upon as\nthe most convenient and suitable\nplace for the rink. The hockey\nrink is to be 150x85 feet in size. Io\naddition to this an annex, 120x35,\nto be used for curling games, will be\nbuilt on one side. Both will be en*\nclosed by a'^foot fence. When neither\nhockey nor curling games are in\nprogress, the two enclosures can be\nconnected and used for skating purposes.\nA committee, consisting of Dr.\nMcDonald, A. 0. Cochrane and J.\nM. Holland, was appointed to interview the Grand Forks council, and\nendeavor to secure, if possible, free\nlights and water for the rink. A\nbuilding committee, composed of J.\nM. Holland, Geo. Ewing and F.\nClark, was also appointed. Peter\nDonaldson was engaged to take\ncharge of the rink at a salary $3 per\nday when actually at work.\nDuring the past two days substantial progress has been made in\nthe construction of the rink, and by\n6 o'clock tonight it will be ready for\nflooding.\nUp te the present time, P. D.\nMcDonald has put in about 40 electric lights in Columbia residences.\nRead Itter & Askew's new advertisement in this issue of The Sun.\nM. R.

At a recent\nmeeting of the stockholders all his\ncandidates were put in as trustees of\nthe company. Ridpath has owned\nthe controlling interest in the mine\nfor some time, but the side then in\npower refused to turn over the control. The consequence was that the\nowner of the majority interests in\nthe mine had nothing to dp with the\nmanagement.

The\ngratifying rapidity with/which the\nstock is being subscribed for by all\nclasses of citizens augurs well for the\nsuccess of the new enterprise. The\ncapital stock will be fixed at $12,500,\nof which $6000 paid up, will be\nissued at the outset. The principle\nupon which the business is being\norganized is to limit the amount of\nstock to each subscriber, and thus\nembrace the largest possible number\nof people. Elimitating the credit\nsystem by buying and selling for\ncash, it is expected that sweeping\neconomies beneficial to shareholders\nwill be effected. No shareholder\nwill be allowed to acquire more than\nsix shares of stock, the par \"value of\nwhich has been placed at*$50 each.\nSubscribers will be given a monthly\ncredit equivalent to 75 per cent of\ntheir paid up stock.

The enlargement of tho\nscope of the company's operations\nwould give them a daily capacity of\n3800 tons.

This\ntunnel, is being driven from a point\nback of the Old Ironsides hotel, and\nwill strike the workings of the No. 1\nshaft of the Old Ironsides mine on\nthe 100-foot level, it being necessary\nto drive about 300 feet to reach these\nworkings. This tunnel will also\nreach the 200-foot level ,of the Knob\nHill mine, and from the tunnel\nfloor to the apex of the Knob Hill\nmine is a distance vertically of somec\n500 feet, all of which is ore of a\ngood shipping grade, and about 400\nfeet or more in width. One significant feature of the inauguration of\nwork on this new tunnel is\nthe fact that when completed, and a\nC. P.
