Aoquires the System of the Boundary Creek Telephone Company. The Past Vear's Oood Showing-A Prospect Of Still More Ener. gy and Enterprise. The Ooiumbia Telephone and Telegraph Conipnny, about whose ability to construct and maintain an efficient telephone system doubts were last year circulated by rivals, Is steadily extend* ing iis operations nlid becoming in nn increasing degree a formidable competitor for the telephone business of the Boundary country. In the middle of May, 1809, this conipany hnd noteven commenced the work of laying its lines, for It was not until the 10th of that month that IU fir-t pole was set up, l.ut having once commenced construction tbe work was continuously proceeded wilh until wires had been stretched from the Boundary line near Cascade ihrough Grand Forks, thence via Niagara and Eholt to Greenwood and on to Boundary Falls, Midway, Rock Creek and Camp McKinney. Al the outset the conipany determined to put in a thoroughly good system, with the result that those having business to transact over the telephone wires were quick to appreciate the excellence of the service provided and they patron laud iinccoidingly. TbeOolum* bin Conipany lias acted rather than talked of his intentions. This fact was especially noticeable so far as Midway was concerned, for while on the one hand the representative of another company wan dickering for a bonus and making statements of what he proposed to do, the Columbia Com- pany quietly strung its wires to Midway and thence to Camp McKinney, whilst, the other is still only talking, Later It secured connections with Hossland and Spokane, and so gave to Midway enlarged facilities for tho transaction of business. Some time ago Thk AdVaNtjI! announced thai tne Columbia Oompany had acquired the system and business nf the Spok.iue and British Columbia Telephone Co, Last week it took over ihe lines and business of the Boundary Creek Telephone and Telegraph Company, which had local ox-changes nt Midway, Greenwood and Phoenix, As the Columbia Company already bad local exchanges at Rossland, Grand Forks, Colunihia, Greenwood and Republic, Wash., it now has ihem in sev*;n towns, and, ton, has direct connection with Spokane, Bo«shui'g and Bolt-tor, across the Boundary line, and as well with the principal mines in the Rossland and Boundary districts. It is now operating about -I2ii miles of line, a total which makes n very creditable showing as the result of the past year's work. It will further extend iis system ns occasion calls for it, the ill* tention of the man\gemant being to keep pjice with lhe development of the country ns husiness sluill warrant it. The company purposes eventually enlarging its operations until these cover lhe whole of the Piovince, and with Ihis end in view it worked with tlie Western Telephone Company in endeavoring to obtain from the Provincial Legislature hist session the requisite powers, hut the wrecking tactics of Mr. Joseph Martin defeated its efforts and so caused delay. It will however renew its endeavors to secure a cbartcr that will give it lights and privileges sufficiently comprehensive to admit of it carrying out Its plans in this direction, and since it has so unmistakably proved Its bona (Ides in the Boundary districl there is no dnub the powers sought will be readily graiiied hy the next local Parliament. No Immediate change la projected In local utrangemeiils, tbe present ihtell* tion being that Miss Moxley shall continue In charge of the Midway exchange. It is probable though that the system now taken over will he better equipped and improved generally to bring up lo Ihe higher standard of the Coliiniliia Company's other lines, It is not, intended to raise the monthly charge for a telephone! but lo leaye it at the liberal rate that has ruled since Ihe Boundary Creek Company's system wns installed, Mr. Wi B. Davoy is President of the Colunihia Telephone and Telegraph Company, and Mr. J. B, Donald Vice. President, The company's head office is in Grand Forks. lis enterprise and energy, whilst increasing its importance and value to its stockholders, have contributed materially to the progress of thn Boundary country, so Its further prosperity will he very generally welcomed throughout the districts to which it has given additional I facilities for the transaction of business. c. :vi. oitoi Publlshcil Manacikii 11.

JUNE 11. lim Martinism is dead, and so unmistakably dead that its most, ardent admirers and musl zealous supporters are not likely lo alletnpl. io resiiscilnle it in the vain hope that ils death is rather apparent lhan real, Whilst in this Rnssiand Killing i misguided majority, that could not sec beyond its own nose, did ils little best lo keep it alive then' was happily a general determination I hrnaghoul the Province to bring about ils "happy dispatch.'' Soil is dead anil lew will there be tn niourn its decease. On the contrary the fact that. il has received itsdealli- blow will restore confidence. Wilh its unsettling and deterring inlliu-iiccs removed there is reason to hope for n return of confidence among capitalists that henceforward Ihe Province will be well and wisely governed, so .thai Investment of capital may be safely and freely mude in our mining and other Industries, The outlook for th Boundary district, which so much needs capital for its iideqiiatc develop went, i.s consequently now far more encouraging lhan it was under recent blighting conditions.

The Martin Government over- whelmingly Defeated--Se- cures Only Eight The managing editor of the Greenwood "Miner," in its issue of the 8th inst., wroto: "Mr. Mackintosh is a falsifier if he dines say that he was Offered tho 'Miner' for political purposes, for any amount wluitevfir; and is a despicable coward to make such a charge right on the eve of the election when lie imagines I have no time to answer it." In view of lhe following fuels und reasonable inferences the public will he able to judge for themselves whether it i-i not rather the "Aimer's" managing editor who is the ''falsifier" and "despicable coward" for publishing the foregoing statement When he absolutely knew, uot nieiely iuiagined, thai Mr, Mackintosh could not possibly reply to It hefore th- election. Mr. Kcilh admits that when he assumed charge of tho paper hi* predecessor ''claimed he had a deal on lor the papm with ('. II, Macklll tosh of liossland," aid thai on April 4th he (Mr. Keith) "wrote to Mr. Mackintosh offering him the 'Miner' for tfilXK) cash," Is it not reasonable U> ..ifer tliJit Mr. Keith, before offering to sell the. paper to Mr. Mackintosh, ascertained from Mr, Gosnell, nsany ordinary business man would have done, what his reasons wero for regarding Mr. Mackintoj'i as a probable buyer? Further, .Mr. Keith udinils luiv'uig ulTi'Ved the paper for sale on Api il Ith, Which was nt least five days after a, Hossjand gentleman arrived in Green .vooil seeking support to Mr. Mackintosh's proposed nomination, and hearing in mind Mr. Kei'.h's peciiniiry inteiest in the paper limit people will cjiuchule that, not withstanding hi.-' seeming prevarication, he too had lieen made aware of it, hence his olfer to sr'l the paper to Jir. Mackintosh. Prior to Mr. Gosuell's connec tion with the Greenwood "Miner" that paper was notorious in ihe Boundary Creek dislrict for its readiness to in discriniiuati'ly publish favorable write- ups of mineral claims arid mines iii return for tuck or othercpnsldergtiniii Mr. Lee, (hu Iben edit >r of the jujie*. j openly statcll that Mr. Keith was then i iianciaily interesl ed in tho paper, and even irioraVopenly solicited stock or nther ci nsideriitlon for flattering notices i'i ,,s columns, Mr. Keith may claim that he Individually derived no benefit Irom this nefarious practice, yet lhe fool remains that it was a matter of public comment that Mr, Lie followed this course, and. thai, loo, he claimed Mr. Keith ns a partner in his newspaper enterprise, lt would seen), therefore, that Mr. Keith has no reasonable ground oi complaint if ihe public attribute to him other than purely disinterested motlyfis for his malevolent attacks upon Mr. Mackiu tosh since that gentleman declined lo purchase a newspaper then generally understood to be an unprofitable enterprise. On the oilier h.-iiul it is significant thai the "Miner" was changed from a weekly to .-i semi-weekly ami became a strong Ctniis partisan short ly alter it was currently reporied that a considerable sum of "Martin money" had heen received at Grand Forks for judicious use in the Boundary section of the Hiding.

The War Eagle is now running eight boilr shifts and making good progress in drifting from the 100-foot level, east and west. Tin* Enterprise, in Long Lake cainp, is to resume operations soon. Tlm ore is rich, and the property Is developed to tlie 100 foot level. On the Evening Star and Sibley, in Wellington camp, where the Fraser boys have been working, a line lend „f copper ore has been uncovered. Recently in excavating for u powder house on the Victoria, Greenwood camp, a tine ledge of copper ore wns opened up almost on the surface. Operations on tlie Brooklyn will be resumed some time this month, Itis probable that shipping will lie one i.f the Hrst items on the programme, The new tunnel under the railway spur, on the Snowshoe, is now in over 21*1 feel, and sonic of the best ore yet seen on the property is lieing encountered. H, H. Thomas bus made a complete topographical survey of Central ramp for the MaJFBtlo Mining Company, one of the Miner-Graves Syndicate Coin pnnies. Mr. H. N. Oaler, Treasurer of the Granby Company, Grand Forks, visil ed tlie Hartford mines recently Willi some friends, 'ind dropped over in Phoenix. He is much pleased wiih the excellent quality of ore beiug taken from tlie property, Mr. \V. M. Mulsh, superintendent ol the Monterey mine, is calling for lenders for running a tOO-fopt tunnel on lhe property. If a road were built from Jackson's rnnch up Myers creek the distance by road from Midway to this properly would be only about seven miles and much of the trade of lhat district would come here. The City of Paris mine, in White's eamp, has been sending oul ore for some weeks past, the total quantity shipped to date being aboitt 1,000 tons. The ore is hauled in wagons to the Granby Oompany'sBuielternear Grand Forks, where nlreiidy one heap of 400 tons bus been rousted and preparations nre in progress for similarly treating another lot. ll is expected tlmt the average daily output will shortly be increased to about 1(1 Ions. Ata meeting of the Mining [ns'ttute of Scotland, held December 0 at Kil inarnock, a piper on ''The Probable DUKltion of tlie Scotch Coal Field* was read by Mr. Hubert Droll, lu the course of bis contribution Mr. Dron showed that from 1851 m the present day the output of coal from Scotland had represented mi an average 13.8 per cent of tlmt nf the United Kingdom. He gave the estimate on the assumption tbat the Scotch output had always maintained tbe same ratio to that of the United Kingdom. On these llgures he estimated the total amount of coal from Scotland to tbe present ti as l.oOl.lHKI.IKKl tons. By calculations he had arrived at the estimate that 10,121.000,000 tons of coal were slill available, and by cnrefiillv noting the amount of home consumption and export trade he hail arrived at the conclusion thnt all the proven coal in Scotland would be exhausted liy the year 1089 and the reserve coal hy 2080. The vital consideration was that within a comparatively short time Scotland would be unable to supply the necessary coal for the continuance of that Increase of the trade and population which had been so marked a feature uf Ihe progress of tb" present century. .—r*-.

The ledge iigeil ll feet 8 inches for lit) feet began to widen ami for the Insl 10 leet was frnm 0 to 8 feet wide, lie believes a still stronger body of ore will be met 150 feet further snllthi there being a body of quartz on the surface nbove thin point, which carries uuuh characteristic high grade ore. He bus thoroughly explored the croppings and found the veins continuous to the south limits of the claim. Mr. Snyder expresses the conviction that the whole body of quart7, can be treated on the spot, at a large prolit, and that with some sorting a considerable quantity ot high grade ore can be obtained. Ha estimates lhat there aro 12,1X10 tons of oro in sight, He gives a table of assays, showing a value 0 $202 at iv point 25 feet up the raise and general samples from tho south drill nging from $18.48 !■'$00, tb "t two members uf CBaltery of the second Canadian contingent to look them up upon their arrival hi South Urica,uietUi,.,n at Oreen Point Camp.
