CASCADE, B. C, APRIL 15, 1899. No. 23. SHALL CASCADE CELEBRATE MAY 24. Mat! Mettlog Called for This Evening - Will Probably Organlie. During the Inst week a good deal of favorable talk has been heard in Cascade in regard to celebrating the Queen's birthday. In nearly every case noted it seems to have been the opinion that we could have the best kind of a celebration here. This sentiment has crystallized, and a number of llinse interested have arranged for a public meeting to be held tonight in the Cascade Auditorium to consider the mutter and take action at once. As there is already such a unanimity of opinion on the subject, it is altogether probable that an organization will be perfected and officers and committees named to carry it through. Therefore every business man in the city should make it his business to be present at the mass meeting tonight at 8.30 o'clock. Those who have looked into it say that we can have a big celebration, with a brass band and a long list of attractive sports having substantial cash prizes hungup. As none of the neighboring tewns have arranged for observing the day their residents will hespecially invited and heartily welcomed to Cascade on May 24th. tferter Mail Service Probable. The following dispatch, published iu yesterday's Spokesman-Review, indicates that mail will hereafter come through with less delay: Washington, D. C, April 13.��� The postmaster-general has ordered the immediate discontinuance of the exchange of mails between Marcus, Wash., and Trail Creek, Robson and Nelson, and in lieu thereof has established a restricted exchange of unregistered mail matter only between Bosshuri, Wash., and Cascade and Grand Forks,B.C. Mail for Grand Forks, will include all that for Camp McKinney, Rock Creek, Midway, Greenwood and Boundary Falls. Mail for all those British Columbia points goes to Cascade. Horace Dagan has heen disappointed in n<>t receiving his machine forgiving his improved moving picture show. He expects to be ready some ' time next week without fail. W. 0. Goodsell, formerly in the employ of the Cascade Drug Co., bas purchased a stock in Spokane, and will open a drug store in Greenwood. He was in Cascade this week, en route to Bossburg to hunt up his freight. A black bear was treed by a freighter about a mile from town, on the Bossburg road, last Thursday. The Record man is informed that Mr. Bruin fairly chuckled with glee when he noted that the freighter had neither axe nor gun. In the Mining Field he snow has not yet melted sufficiently, in elevated localities where trails were not kept open throughout the winter, to permit of much packing in of supplies and beginning development operations. Nevertheless, preparations for the summer's work go steadily forward among those owning promising mineral claims in this vicinity. It now appears as though the season's development, in tbe aggregate, would far exceed all previous estimates. Scaicely a day passes that somt outfit does not start out. This last week has seen two outfits rtnrt for the Burnt Basin. The first of these was the party that will exploit the Mother Lode group, Mike Shick's famous free gold properties, in' which T, Mayne Daly is interested. They outfitted in Cascade, and have sufficient in the treasury for a long season of work. It is expected to double the jiresent force of five men in a short time. A force of four men was also equipped this week and sent to the Ennismore claim, another Burnt Basin property well spoken of. It was recently acquired by the Avor,' Mining & Milling Co.,Ltd.,of Rossland. This corporation hi s $3,000 now in the treasury to operate with, and will proceed to use it lo the best advantage. Wm. Forrest, of Gladstone, is in Rossland this week, to attend the annual meeting of the John Bull Mines, Ltd. This company continues steadily at work on the John Bull, and the stockholders are becoming daily more and more convinced that they have a most valuable property. Five crosscuts have been made, and solid ore encountered that maintains the name relative values found on the Bur- face, where the gold and copper as says ran from $5 to $47. From top to bottom of the crosscuts is about 75 feet, and the values are largely in copper. The tunnel has been run in over 20 feet, and will be continued to 75 feet to the junction of the two ledges. Work is bein^" prosecuted with all the force that can be used to advantage. Charles WiUarson was down yesterday from the Mystery group in the Burnt Basin, where he and his partner, Pete Johnson, aredoingde velopment, and informed the Rec ord man that the development thus far is most satisfactory to the owner... K. P. Matheson and George Cameron are steadily driving the tunnel on the Paragon, one of the Gt. Western group, situated directly east of Cascade, across Kettle river. They are driving to crosscut the ledge, the tunnel now being in some 70 feet. Close to the Gt. Western group, also on Castle mountain, is the Wigwam, from which a magnificent block of copper ore was brought down this week by Frank Bailey. Next week a force of four men will be put to work on the property, and a tunnel will be started to tap the ledge at a considerable depth But very little development has been done on Castle mountain claims, and it begins to look as though the predictions of old-timers would be fulfilled. D. C. Beach took up supplies to the Victoria group, this week, at McRae Landing. He will do the first work on the Rose claim, and a little later expects to start the 300-foot tnnnel to tap the ledge on the Victoria. Harry Dent' n . ml i>. C. Chezum this week purchased from George Cameron the Susie mineral claim, situated about one mile west of Cascade. Surface assays show from $1S to $40 in gold and copper. The new owners intend developing the property at once. Frank Hutchinson has been trying to get up to the Chamberlain group, on McRae creek, but the snow was too deep to pack in supplies, so he returned to town. Placer Gold at Greenwood. A report from Greenwood is to the effect that last Monday there was considerable excitement there over the alleged discovery of placer gold on a portion of the townsite, caused by the opening of the new channel for Boundary creek. There was soon a small sized forest of stakes on the ground. Some 40 locations were made, but a breathless public is still waiting for tangible results. Gone for His Family. Harvey Harris, the genial representative of P. Burns & Co., in Cascade, started on Wednesday morning for Cceur D'Alene city, Idaho, to get his family. He will be back in a few days and, will go to housekeeping at once. While Mr Harris is away H. Stoecke will be in charge of the Cascade shop. Hr. Stoecke has conducted shops at Slocan City, New Denver and Brooklyn, and now has one in the booming mining town of Camp McKinney. John Dorsey, of Gladstone, was in town yesterday. John Lyngholm spent a few days in Rossland this week. Constable Darraugh has heen presenting revenue tax receipts to many this week. D. W. Morgan,of Rossland, partner of Victor Monnier, was in Cascade last Thursday. George R. Naden and wife, of Greenwood, were guests at the Hotel Cascade yesterday. A large number of young people enjoyed an impromptu dance at the Auditorium last evening. A "friend of the widows and or- phans,"-C. W. Vedder, of Spokane, representing the Equitable Life���waB in town this week. IN AND AROUND CASCADE. Collector Rose has received a new flag from the customs department al Ottawa, and it now adorns the flagstaff during office hours. Miss Rhoda Stewart, who has been visiting Mrs. Paul Rochussen, went to Greenwood last Monday, where her two brothers reside. There is an excellent opening in Cascadefor a first class dressmaker. The right one will find a good business waiting. Another cottage for the townsite company is being put up by Contractor Ferguson. It has been rented by J. W. Stewart. Mr. McAuley, one of the proprietors of the old-established Midway hotel, stopped in Cascade on Wednesday, on his return from Rossland and Spokane. Some tests of the excellent clay to be found in Cascade, are under way this week, and probably several thousand brick will be made up in the course of the tests. Prof. R. M. Mobius, the hypnotist will give an entertainment this evening in the Cascade Auditorium. It will take place immediately following the meeting of citizens to be held there tonight. Owing to completion of work in their immediate vicinity, the Mountain House, Summit House, Half Way House and Peterson's Hotel, between Brooklyn and Cascade, have all closed up. Danville, Wash., formerly called Nelson, just across the line from Carson, is said to be growing rapidly. The new name is taken from that of one of the promoters, Dan Drumheller, of Spokane. J. Ed. Beaton, of the paymaster's office, received a letter from Manila this week, from George CreerBr, a Spokane volunteer in the American army, who tells of the lively times experienced by the boys in blue among the Filipinos. S. W. Meek, of the paymaster's office, who went to Spokane a few weeks since, was treated successfully for appendicitis, and has accepted another position with Foley Bros. talk of organizing a wheel club. Camp McKinney is putting on metropolitan airs���it will have a weekly paper in the near future. The new county of Ferry, of ���which Republic is tbe capital, has sold $35,000 worth of bonds at par. Stanley Mayall will start work at once on the Round Tower claim, adjoining the Victoria, at McRae Landing. Christina creek has been cleared out, and as soon as high water corner, small boats can be floated right to Cascade. Parties of prospectors and those going out to do development and asses-ment work, can be seen starting almost any day Major W. H. Cooper returned oi Sunday from a ?eveial da_vs' trip to Grand Forks, Columbia and ���Greenwood. He will remain in Cascade. On account of the prevalence of measles and mumps among the children at Grand Forks, there is talk of closing the public school for a time. King Rees, the popular bookkeeper for P. Buriis & Co., has decided to engage in the furniture business with T. M. Gully, of ���Greenwood. Stagg & Co. have completed burning some 30,000 brick at the lake. The quality is superior to any heretofore used in Cascade. Mr. St' gg has located a claim ���called the Stagg, on Moody creek. Frank Rainey was run over by a freight wagon several days ago near Nelson, Wash. A few days later it was found that his leg wiuld have to be amputated, and Dr. Smith, of Grand Forks, performed the operation. Church Service Divine service will be conducted by Kcv. Joseph McCoy. M.

When William Burns lectured in Cascade a couple of weeks ago, on ''Chemistry and its Relation to Mineralogy," he requested J. C. Gwillim, of Rossland, an authority on such subjects, to furnish a list of the most practical text books on blowpipe analysis and mineralogy. Mr. Gwillim writes that by far the best work is Brush's "Manual of Determinative Mineralogy," cost $3.50. For a cheaper book he also recommends ''Blowpipe Analysis," by J. Landauer, at $1. Both can be had from the Scientific Publishing Co., 253 Broadway, New York. This information will doubtless be of value to those who wish to be in a position to test their own samples while in the hills or at home. The necessary chemicals can be obtained of the Cascade Drug Co. If you want to grow fat and good looking you should hoard at the Columbia Dining Parlor. Notice.

There is hut one side to the question of whether Cascade should have a sub-recording office or not. The Christina lake district is one of great extent, and in the territory the records of which could be made in the proponed new office, there are upwards of 500 mineral locations. The majority of these are situated over 25 miles from the present recording office at Grand Forks, and many are located 30 ��nd 40 miles away. That prospectors and mining men should he forced to travel 25 unnecessarily, the round trip distance between Cascade and Grand Forks, its working a hardship on every man who has interests in the section referred to. It should be changed, and owners of mineral claims in the Christina lake region should take steps to secure the change as soon as possible by the honorable the minister of mines. This section is gaining in value and importance every month, and should be afforded ordinary facilities for the expeditious transaction of such business as is usually done with mining recorders. In making Cascade a sub-recording office, the government will be put to hut very little additional expense, as the work can ber done by the provincial representative now stationed here. In the past such offices have been established in other parts, where needed, and have proved a great convenience to the people. Cascade should have this convenience, and the reports could all be made to and go through the Grand Forks office. If the proper representation is made to the minister of mines, it is believed the matter can be arranged. A number of papers are conducting a campaign against the C.P.R. that is anything but a credit to the publishers. Legitimate criticism is always in order, when called for, but the tirades appearing cannot be classed under that head. It is apparent that other motives are behind the well written articles appearing, but there are a few persons left who do not believe in charging a greater part of the evils of the times to a single corporation. The eight-hour law for miners, which was supposed to. go into effect throughout the province on April 1st, is the cause of no little discussion in the Kootenays. A committee of Slocan mine owners went to Victoria In persuade the minister of mines not to enforce it, but in Rossland the act is being complied with. There appears to be some difference of opinion in regard to it, but the chances are that it will prevail in a short time. No trouble is yet reported from the Boundary camps on account of the new law. Uncle Sam is to send more soldiers to the Phillipines. Although Aguinaldo and his cohorts may be whipped, they are far from being submissive, and bid fair to give any amount of trouble in the jungles of Luzon, Mindanao and other islands'of the group for some time to come. John Bull and Brother Johna- than will not stand any fooling over the Samoa question, and Kaiser William is beginning to find it out. The remarks to that effect were punctuated with shells from British and American warships, and their echo was heard even at Berlin. The government has appointed lutth justices of the peace and stipendiary magistrates within the last two weeks, but Cascade was not oh' the list. If there is a town needing both more, or deserving them more, it is yet to he pointed out. '"���' It has been remarked that busy Greenwood's mines are several miles away from that town. This can no longer be said, however, as several placer claims were staked out this week on the townsite, and created some excitement. Good old London has at last succumbed to the inevitable and now. has Sunday papers.^ It'ieVto he hoped they will not.grow to the size of the present! unwieldy olla prodridas of journalism which are so prevalent in the United States. The Kootenay Mining Standard, of Rossland, is preparing a special edition which will contain views from the Boundary. This ably edited monthly is steadily growing in favor and should be of great benefit to the mining districts. Miss Prosperity is making a prolonged visit to the. Boundary country at present. There are those optimistic enough to think this desirable damsel will stay right with us, and we are of that kind. There must be something1 Wrong, for a whole week has passed and not a single new smelter has been built in the Boundary���even on paper. i ADVERTISING HINTS f Keep your grip, and if you have to let go once in a while, let it he to take a better hold. Tell the truth in your advertising. It is not always the most effective, but it lives the longest, and it wins in the end. ��� ����� > i You save time if you first talk to a customer through an advertisement, because you talk to him only at a time when he is ready to listen. The business does not exist, especially in small towns, that cannot be benefited by advertising. Of course, it must be judiciously done. It is the persevering man who wins. One must get a hold and not let go. He must not he discouraged if returns be not so large at first.

BOB rt April 15, 1800 THE CASCADE RECORD BY THE WAYSIDE ]: uunutiutittwimitiw Cascade ought to celebrate the Queen's birthday, and do it in right royal style. An effort has been made this week to see if sufficient funds can be raised, and there is no reason why the best celebration ever held in the Boundary country should not take place within hearing of the thundering cascades of the Kettle river. There are plenty of persons here who have had experience in such matters, and many who are interested in sports of all kinds. With such timber to select from, there should he no trouble in arranging a celebration of which we can all be proud. If the 24th of May is made a gala day in Cascade, for many miles in all directions the prospectors, miners and laboring men will come and take in the day's festivities. With good music and a list of sports with good cash prizes hung up therefor, there will i��e ample amusement for all, the day winding up with a grand ball in the evening. Every business man in the city ���every resident, even- should put his shoulder to the wheel in this matter Numerous stories���which bear the stamp of truth���are going the rounds, of the bad sanitary conditions prevailing in some towns in the Boundary. In one place an epidemic of typhoid fever, is predicted as soon as hot weather sets in and begins to get in its deadly work in ways too numerous to mention. In Cascade there is no danger from this cause, but just the same care should be taken, now that the snow is gone, to clean up all alleys, streets and backyards. A stitch in time saves nine, and it is to be hoped that this little matter will receive prompt attention. Some one has asked the Record where the money comes from for the $300 needed repairs, now being done to the Kettle river wagon bridge at Cascade. We give it up, for Government Agent Norris stated that no appropriation for Yale district was to be used near Cascade, but that Gold Commissioner Kirk- up, of Rossland, had charge of such expenditures hereabouts. As a matter of fact Constable Dinsmore, of Grand Forks, ordered the work done, and it is not difficult to guess where he gets his orders. We should be satisfied, perhaps, that even as an emergency measure, repairs of a semi-substantial character have been commenced on thi long dilapidated structure at the foot of the falls. Perhaps also, we should not inquire too closely as t > the whys and wherefores of the order to begin repairs, but be thankful for what the gods send us All the same there are numerous citizens who like to know about these things, and who are entitled to the information. Jack Stewart the superintendent of construction on the new railway feels confident that before the month of June is gone the steel on the new line will he laid into Cascade���wiseacres to the contrary notwithstanding. The troubles of merchants shipping goods to this point will be over when that event j taken place, although it must not be supposed that freight shipments will begin at once. It is probable that it will take some little time before mails, passengers and freight are carried on the new line, and in the meantime we will have to rely on the route from here to Bossburg and Marcus. It is said that the stage company objects to carrying the mails seven times weekly on a contract that only calls for a tri-weekly service. This is not to be wondered at, and when the small remuneration is considered it is surprising that any one would touch it. From the annual report of the postmaster- general, for the year ending June 30,"1898, G. W. Williams received $1,036 50 for this work. This is equal to $86 per month, or $3.32 per trip of 45 miles, from Marcus to Grand Forks. Frequently the mail matter will weigh over a ton on one trip. Had the department allowed fair pay for this service for the last few months, doubtless it would materially have assisted in improving the Boundary mail service.

It shows the mineral claims located up to April 1st, 1899, in these two mining divisions. Mr. Coryell has been a resiJent of the Boundary district since 1887, and has been able to gather the information now given on his map during that time, from the many surveying trips made for the government and individuals. The map is similar to the one he issued in 1897, only, of course, corrected t*������.. For further information, price of lots, etc., address, GEO. K. STOCKER, Townsite Agent, Cascade, B. C. Or L. A.

DAYLIGHT THROUGH OLSON'S TUNNEL Jack Stewart Thinks the Track Will Surely Be Cascade hy June, Nothwithstaodlag the Bridge Work Yet to be Done. Early this week, J. W. Stewart, superintendent of construction on the Robson-Midway branch of the Columbia & Western railway now building through Cascade, made a trip over the line from Brooklyn to Caicade. He informed the Record representative that it was an exceedingly hard trip, owing to the fact that in some places the tote road was completely obliterated by snow slides. For a good share of the distance he followed the graded roadbed, and so was able to inspect the work closely. Mr. Stewart stated that the grading is now practically completed from Robson to Cascade or Grand Porks. The 40,000 yard gravel out, upon which Contracter Boomer has been working so long, near the summit, is finished,and Mr. Boomer has taken his big outfit away. Olaf Olson now has daylight through his 400-foot tunnel, Mr. Stewart, having gone through it. He will he done in a few days, but he had bad luck with slides a few days since, which carried some of his shanks up on the opposite bill- side quite a distance. From Olson's tunnel there is almost a clear roadbed to the Kettle river, with the exception of the bridges. Of these there are 18 between Porcupine creek and Casoade, and Porter Bros.& McArthur, the bridge contractors, have the worst of them well under way. The 180 foot high bridge over Poroupine creek is in quite an advanced state, and Mr. Stewart states that rails can he laid on it in three weeks more. Gangs of men are tackling the smaller bridges and trestles, and the 1000- foot bridge over Kettle river at Cascade will soon have a big force added to those already working. The track-laying gang is now at the bridge over Pup Creek, where Contractor Nugent had his Work near Brooklyn. This structure requires 400,000 feet of timber, most of which is on the ground. Mr. Stewart is still confident that we will hear the screech .of the iron horse in Cascade some time in June. This week a force of 80 or 40 men were sent to the switchback near Brooklyn, where many of the deep cuts had filled in during the winter. As many men as are needed will be placed on this repair work, in order that it may not delay the tracklayers. As there is so much rock work on the line, comparitively little repairing will have to be done. RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION NOTES. Jas. V. Welch has finished his contract near Niagara. Foss & McDonnell are making excellent progress on their 700-foot tunnel beyond Niagara. Pile driving has begun on the bridge across the Kettle river at Columbia. Tbe whistle of the locomotive running the tracklaying machine can now be heard plainly in Brooklyn. It is said there are 45 miles now under construction on the Nelson & Bedlington, 2500 men being at work. Trains are expected to be over the new line by August 1st. Burns & Jordan, who had three sub-contracts on this line, have taken a contract on the Great Northern cut-off at Trinidad, Wash., under Foley Bros. & Larson. Contractor Sandgrin has charge of the three miles of work, heretofore untouched, at and near Grand Forks. He has already began operations on it. The work is of an easy character. Purchasing Agent McLeod came over the tote road from Brooklyn this week, and corroborates the stories of the exceedingly bad travelling. But he got through in daylight, just the same. Engineer Young, who had charge of the first 20 miles or so on the line ont of Robson, hao started for Penticton with a corps of assistants and observers are guessing what they are doing over there. The teamsters and stage drivers on the wagon road between Greenwood and Midway are anything hut happy nowadays, as the railway construction line crosses the road several times, and sub-contractors are careless about blasting. McLean Bros, have had much trouble with their tunnel contract near Brooklyn. Thus far but two drills of the air compressor could be used owing to lack of water. Between 400 and 500 feet are said to have been made out of the estimated 3000 required to complete this long bore. KXS3K3K3KJKJ1KJK2K3KJKJK3K! m C. S. Morris, Mgr. Frki> Whitakkr, Sec'y him' Treas.
