"The oldest mining camp newspaper in British Columbia. ; The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929."@en . ""@en .

Let us\nhave a business government in\nreality, and not in name.\nNow is the winter of our discontent, made dismal by the\ngrippe, frozen water pipes, lean\ncoal bins, and a prolonged shortage of green onions.\nIt is reported that this spring\nthe big drive by the Allies will\nforce the Germans out of Belgium.\nThis spring the big drive by the\nweather will force all the grippe\nout of Canada.\nThis winter has made many\nwish, for the coming of the season,\nwhen tbe grand passion awakens\nwith fresh vigor, the robins nest,\nthe flowers bloom, and mother\ngives us daily doses of sulphur and\nmolasses.\nIt is reported that the Consolidated will put a big crew of men\nto work on the Highland jnst as\nsoon as there is sufficient water\nrunning to allow of a resumption\nof operations.\nMike Walsh has returned to this\nsection from near Creston, where\nhe is interested in a copper proposition that he has been working on\nfor a number of years.\nDan McPhail was down a few\ndays ago from the Bell, in the\nJackson basin, and is enthusiastic\nabout the possibilities of that property. He states that at one point\nthere is a good five feet of solid\nore in sight, and that all the indications are there that go to show\nthe possibility of it being a mine.\nFor mauy years the Bell, like\nmany another promising property\nin this district, has lain idle, with\nno one, apparently having gumption enough to get busy and endeavor to stir up something. The\nlate Geo. Hughes did some work\non the claim in the early days, but\nat that time the zinc contents in\nthe ore proved a handicap. Some\nSandon leasers tackled it about\nten years ago, but they lacked\ncapital. Outside of that it is evident that very little has been done.\nMr. McPhail is strongly of the\nopinion that Charles F. Caldwell is\nentitled to a great deal of praise\nfor the energetic way in which he\nis starting out to secure capital for\nthe development of mining propositions in this district. The Bell\nwas examined last week on behalf\nof Spokane capitalists by Y. W.\nWilliams, of Spokane, whose report on a mining proposition is\nsaid to carry a great deal of weight.\nHe was associated with J. P.*\nGraves In the famous Granby enterprise, the success of which is\none of the brightest things in the\nannals of British Columbia mining.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDKaslo Kootenaian.\nand Fort George, 1,814.\nTimber sales recorded during\nthe month under review cover an\nestimated total of 7,263,000 ft.\nsawlogs, 22,920 liueal feet poles\nand piles, and 200 cords ties, etc.,\nestimated to produce a revenue of\n$12,213.\nReduced Prices\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIN\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nNow that new Parliament\nbuildings have to be ereeted, it\nwould be a good time to move the\ncapital of Canada, from Ottawa to\nWinnipeg. The west will soon be\nthe greater part of Canada, and\nWinnipeg is more centrally situated than Ottawa.\nFiio_-t our perch in the mountains it looks as though the Parliament buildings in Ottawa were\ndestroyed by an enemy, a fanatic,\nor gross carlessness. If by an\nenemy then look for the unexpected. Look within the corral, for\ngold is mighty, and enough of it\nwith some people will -bring to\npass almost anything that is pos\nsible. \t\nIn forcing the present police\nmagistrate upon the people of\nGreenwood, and making the taxpayers pay his salary, the B. G.\nGovernment is doing this city an\ninjustice, and not gaining any\n0 edit for itself, as a \"business\"\norganization. It surely is not\nbMSinesB for a government to force\nany community to pay hundreds\nof dollars, in Order to hold a police\ncourt two or three times a year.\nIfe looks like rotten politics to permit such an injustice to the taxpayers of this city. You cannot\nwin by opposing the wishes of the\npeople. If the government wishes\nto acquire and maintain a reputation for business, it will immediately look into the police magistrate situation at Greenwood.\nBetter be warned openly by a\nfriend, than stabbed in the back\nby an enemy.\nThere are five Tuesdays in this\nmonth.\nTimber Statement\nVictoria, B.
