'r /"> THE GREENWOOD MINER. Vol. 1, No. 42. GREENWOOD, B. C . FRIDAY, NOV. 17, J 899. $200 Fer Year. THE SHIPPING ERA Has Begun���The First Direct Rail Shipment From Boundary is Made By the Oro Denero From Eholt���Mining News of the District. The first all-rail shipment of ore from Boundary was made last night from Eholt. The Oro Denero shipped the first carload of ore to Trail for a smelter test. The Gold Bug, Providence camp, shipped a carload from Grand Forks some time ago from which was obtained values as high, it is understood, as $500; and is preparing to ship another direct by rail from Greenwood. The era of shipment has therefore, actually begun. Since the railway graders opened up a ledge on the Hartford group of claims in Wellington camp, uuder bond to H. M. Galer, of the Grandby smelter, and Montreal parties, work has been steadily in progress, and four open cuts have been run. Two of them are each 00 feet long, and 6 feet deep, while the others have an average length of 25 feet. The development work will be continued all winter. R. Henry Ellis reports a good showing on the Shipley, which adjoins the King Solomon in Copper Camp He has uncovered a big lead, and has taken out some good looking copper ore. On the Ready Cash, in Wellington Camp, he made an exceptional good showing, assays taken from the bottom of a 30- foot shaft having run as high as $01 in all values. Sinking in the winze on th e Phil. Sheridan, of the ISarthquake group on the North Fork of the Kettle River, is being continued with two shafts, and the workings are all in ore. Supt. Evans claims he has the same ledge as the Golden Eagle, in rich adjoining property. A surface strike of six feet of good ore is reported to have just been made on the Mystery group in the Burnt Basin, the find was made on the lower portion of the claim, the ledge running into the side of the mountain in such a way that a short tunnel can tap it at a depth of 700 feet. The values are in gold. J. W. Bengough appeared on Friday and Saturday nights under the auspices of the firemen, the hall being filled on both occasions. His local sketch hits, impersonations, and readings were all very enjoyable. He is, apart from his talent as a cartoonist, especially good as a dialectician. The best local sketches were those of F. J, Finucane, Paul Johnson, A. Ferguson, P. P. Sharpe, J. J. Miller, Chief McLaren, and W. R. Williams, Phoenix. At the close these were auctioned off, and were eagerly bid for. Sam Jarrell has returned from his two claims, the Reader, and Carrie L., 125 miles up the Kettle River. He reports that be has opened up a 14 foot ledge of copper ore. The clean-up from the 5-stamp mill on the -Granite and Banner in Camp McKinney for the week ending Tuesday was a gold brick valued at $633, This result was obtained from 37 tons of ore, the ores averaging $17 per ton. The crosscut from the 30 foot level lias shown the ledge to be 40 feet wide. The sinking of the shaft is also being continued. Mr. Carmichael, chief assayer for the Hall mines, Nelson, spent a week or ten days in Greenwood, the guest of Mr. Noble, of theBuckhorn. He visited a number of properties about here, and returned wondering if there really were mines in the vicinity of Nelson. The shaft of the Kittie W. on the Pathfinder Mountain, North Fork of Kettle River, having just penetrated the iron capping has come into solid ore at a depth of 15 feet. Work will be continued all winter, and cross-cuts will be driven later on from the 100 foot level. J. C. Welch, the chief assayer of the Trail smelter, was in Greenwood last week, and paid a trip to Camp McKinney and several of the mining camps in this vicinity. He has been looking over the mining field generally. In conversation with a Miner reprsenta- tive he said that the smelter management was putting up another copper furnace, having been able to obtain men for the purpose. He states that the late smelter lead stack will be blown in just as soon as men can be engaged. There is plenty of ore on hand, but the difficulty has been in obtaining operators. Geo. R. Naden, of the Bealey Investment Company, had a series of assays made from the property on Kruger mountain, Keremeos, which he represents. The company has opened up a ledge on the Dividend in different places, and has sunk a shaft to 40 feet, and will continue to develop. The vein is twelve feet wide with an average assay of $23 in gold from top to bottom. The assays range from $5.50 on the waste dump to $130. At the depth of 40 feet a little copper is coming in. This, and an adjoining claim, were bonded by a syndicate represented by Mr. Naden for $100,000. Mr. K. K. Peiser, secretary of the Okanagan Free Gold Mines, Limited, received a dispatch from Mr, A. S. Edgecombe, faiperintendent of the mines and mill of the company, dated Okanagan Landing, November 9th. In this dispatch Mr. Edgecombe stated that the clean-up for the month of October was 238 ounces in gold, and that there was also ten tons of concentrates on hand. These are worth $80 per ton. This would make the approximate value of the clean-up aggregate something over $4,000. The Morrison Mine. F. H. Oliver, manager of the Morrison mine, reports that that property continues to look well as development advances The south drift is now in 120 feet driven in ore all the way. The work will be continued for 200 or 300 feet further when an advantageous point will be chosen for the sinking of the main shaft, and an upraise made to the surface. Mr. Oliver is now building a wagon road with an easy grade to the mine, which is nearly completed, and when completed several car loads of ore will be shipped as a test. A railway spur will be built into tbe mine as soon as the position of the main shaft is located. It is not yet decided as to the size of the main shaft, but it will contain two or three compartments, and be capable of raising large quantities of ore for shipping, which will be begun at an earlv date, C. P. R. TELEGRAPH Has Completed Its Line Into Creenwood. Visit of Notables During the Week ���Great Sale of Phoenix Lots on Tuesday Last. The Canadian Pacific Telegraph Co. has its line completed into Greenwood and the ticker is at work in the C. P. R. station. A portion of Rendell's & Co's store on Greenwood Street has been rented and the commercial office will be opened there. Miss Alice Reeves who has been in the office of the Columbia Telephone Grand Forks, is now in charge of the office in Greenwood. Rowland Machin who was in Greenwood a short time ago representing tho Giant Powder Co., and the Bennett P'use Co. has resigned his position with the Giant Powder Co., Victoria, and will act as representative for Canada for the firm of Wm. Bennett, Sous & Co. proprietors of the Roskear Fuse works, Cambourne, Eng. The secretary of the [Associated Boards of Trade of southern British Columbia has received two letters from the PoBt Office Department, Ottawa, in answer to the detailed complaints regarding the mail service in Kootenay and Yale made on behalf of the Association, on request from the Postmaster General for details and referred to in the resolutions adopted at the annual convention at Rossland. The letters state that the matters complained of cither have been or will be satisfactorily adjusted. The goods ordered for the Fire Department from the Gutta-Pereha Company, Toronto, including hose, etc., has arrived. The rate-payers should not forget that the voting on the two by-laws with reference to Electric Light and Tramway to Phoenix will take place on the 23rd instant. These are two of the most important by-laws that have yet come up for consideration in this city and every rate-payer qualified to vote should do so. The Licensing Committee met on Wednesday morning at the Court House to consider applications for licenses and transfer of which a number were before the Board. With the exception of granting a transfer of license from the Imperial to the Clarendon Company no action was taken and the other applications have been left over. C. A. R. Lambly, Gold Commissioner, Fairview, has been in town this week in his capacity as district assessor. His work this trip occupied about ten days. What might have been a serious fire occurred on Monday night. A bottle of alcohol was by accident upset and ignited in Mitchell's tailor shop. The incipient blaze which resulted was soon smothered. The blazing bottle was thrown out in the rearand without being noticed rolled down to the back door of Ohlson & Pbelan's store, Miller Block, and had it not been discovered in time, would have resulted in another big tire in Greenwood. The wood work was slightly scorched but no material damage was done. F. Schofield, Supreme Court Registrar, Rossland, has been requested to notify the legal profession of Kootenay and Boundary that all cases must be set down for the first day of sitting, namely, December 4th, and that the former custom followed by Chief Justice Davie that cases could be set down for any day is no longer respected. The first marriage solemnized in Phoenix took place on Sunday night last, Wm. Twist and Florence Schubert being united in marriage at the Hotel Ironsides, by Rev. B. H. Balderson. After the ceremony the wedding party withdrew to the private dining room where a splendid supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Twist are now comfortably settled in their new home at Phoenix. John Kirkup, Government Agent for the Rossland���Boundary District, arrived in the city Monday night. On Tuesday he drove to Midway with Constable Dinsmore and returned the same evening. Mr. Kirkup, who is possibly one of the best known government officials in British Columbia, was here on government business. He has fully recovered from the effects of the severe surgioal operation undergone early in the year. Aulay Morrison, Esq, M. P., New Westminster arrived in Greenwood yesterday morning and registered at the Clarendon. This was Mr. Morrison's first visit to the Boundary and Greenwood and he expresses his unbounded surprise and satisfaction at the appearance and prospects of the city. Mr. Morrison is here on private business and left last night for the coast. An effort was made to hold a public meeting while Mr. Morrison, who is a well-informed and able speaker, was here, but he was unable to stay over for the purpose. Mayor Goodeve of Rossland and J. S. Clute Jr., barrister of that place, were in the city on Saturday and, as is stated elsewhere, assisted in the installation ceremonies in connection with the A. F. & A. M. lodge. E. Jacobs, Agent Midway Townsite, leaves this week for Montreal on business in connection with townsite matters. G. F. Williams, merchant, has built a building 40X25 feet next to Guess Bros', block and has moved tho old store to the back giving much more room.

Hillary, assayer, has closed his office in Greenwood and accepted a position of assistant assayer to the Ironsides Co., at Plnenix, THE GREENWOOD MINER. Friday, Nov. 17, 1899. THE HOTEL ARMSTRONG. The Above is an Exact Illustration of Greenwood's New, First-Class Hotel, Now Open for Business. HOTEL ARMSTRONG. Has Been Opened to the lie. Travelling Pub- The Hotel Armstrong on the corner of Government and Deadwood Streets recently leased from Mr. Powell, by Major Armstrong of Spokane, and under management of the latter gentleman, is all but ready for business. The furniture and furnishings have been put in place and the dining room only waits the arrival of a range specially ordered to open up and complete the equipment. The Hotel Armstrong is one of the largest and finest hotels in the interior of British Columbia, and in addition to the merits of design and construction it is furnished in the best style and taste. The offices and downstairs rooms are covered throughout with the best linoleum. The corridors and some of the choicest rooms are laid with velvet carpets, and the other rooms with Brussels. The furniture is all in oak, and all the other appointments correspond in point of excellence. The hotel contains fifty-four bed-rooms and sixty-five rooms in all, including general and private offices, bar and billiard rooms, sample rooms, of which there are three, dining room, kitchen etc. The hotel is heated by furnace, and is wired for electric lighting as soon as the electric plant is installed in the city. At the present time gasoline lamps are used for illuminating purposes. In the very ample basement which extends under the whole building there are furnaces, hot water tank, laundry, store and sample rooms, so that in every respect the hotel is complete and modern, and in Major and Mrs. Armstrong, an up to date and thoroughly experienced management��� one that will fully meet the requirements of Greenwood for a first-class hotel and reflect credit on the city. stated too that the trustees made a strong effort to have the salaries raised to a rate commensurate with the living expenses in this city and the Department consents so far as to increase the principal's salary from $00 to $70 per month. Masonic Instalation. According to announcement in the Miner last week the instalation ceremonies in connection with Green wood Lodge 28, A. F. & A. M., took place on Saturday night in the new hall on Government Street. The officers were installed by R. M. J. W. Goodeve, of Rossland, assisted by ���I. S. Clute, Jr. and Mr. Raymer all of Corinthian Lodge, Rossland, and are as follows:���Worshipful Master C. S. Galloway, Senior Warden, A. S. Black; Junior Warden, J. W. McFarlane; Senior Deacon, W. D. Palmer; Junior Deacon, Jas. Birnie; Treasurer, R. Wood; Secretary, J. C. Haas; Tyler, T. Q. Butler. A number of speeches were made by visiting and other brethern. At the close of the installation a banquet was held in the banquet hall. A very enjoyable evening spent by all. In this connection it may be stated that the Masonic Temple is now about completed and is a substantial building, costing $5000. The upper story contains a fine, lodge room and banquet hall and the ground floor is being fitted up as a store. The Masonic Lodge of Greenwood is now in first class working order and regular meetings will be held hereafter. SCHOOL TO OPEN On Monday of Next Week in the New Building:. At a meeting of the School Board the question of selection of teachers was considered. Owing to the question of salary no appointment was made for principal, although several first class applicants are in view. An assistant. however, Miss Mary Laird, of (ireenwood, was selected. Miss Laird holds a second class A certificate and was highly recommended for the position. It is a pleasure to announce that the new school house, which is about completed, will be opened on Monday next with Miss Laird in charge of one department The seats ordered by the Government have not yet arrived, but the seats that were in tin old school building have been utilized temporarily. There are two rooms, one downstairs and one upstairs. Owing to the exposed position of the school and the large area of window surface it has been decided to put in double windows. A janitor has been engaged. It may be Diocese of Kootenay. It is reported that the Anglican Synod of the Diocese of new Westminster, which met in Vancouver last week, has by a unanimous vote of its clerical and lay delegates, decided to divide its own territory, establishing a new Diocese of Kootenay, to include the Kootenays, the Okanagan and Boundary districts, with part of East Yale. For the administration of this new F.piscopal See an endowment fund of at least $40,000 will be raised. In the meantime the new Kootenay district will be administered by its own synod under the temporary presidency of Bishop Dart of New Westminister.���Midway Advance. In "Passages from the Diaries of Mrs. Philip Lybbe Porrys" there are some amusing chronicles of eighteen-century small beer. For example: "Princess Amelia asked a remarkably tall young man what he was intended for. 'The church,' said he. 'Oh, sir, you must mistake,' said the princess; 'it was certainly for the steeple.' Hitherto this retort haa been attributed to Curran. Mrs. Porrys also notes a new Pope pun. One day Sir Walter Blunt's father was in Pope's company, and talking of punning. Pope said that was a species of wit so triflingly easy that he would answer to make one on any proposed subject offhand, when a lady in the company said: 'Well, Mr. Pope, make one on keel-hauling.' He instantly replied: 'That, madam, is indeed putting a man under a hardship.'

THE GREENWOOD MINER, OUR ROSSLAND LETTER. Judging from the preparations which aro being made by the three great prodacors, the Le Roi, the War Eagle, and the Centre Star, the output when these preparations shall have heen completed, will begin to show a volume that must attract a great deal of attention abroad, for when ore begins to be measured by hundreds of thousands of tons, and values reach millions of dollars, with a steady increase in volume, the business may be said to have reached vast proportions. Red Mountain has not yet disclosed all its treasures. It is now stated that Senator Turner, and a number of his former associates, intend to develop the Giant. Senator Turner is a man that is welcome in any country. The fact that he sold out his interest in the Le Roi should not be used against him, even if he got a good price. He and his associates paid in Le Roi dividends at least ment, even if there were much bang and $825,000. The Grant has two large ore bodies exposed near the surface. It is located on the west flank of Red Mountain, and the announcement that it is about to be developed under Senator Turner's direction is regarded with satisfaction, as this means a good deal of the news is true, but for this I cannot vouch. The recent flotation of the Centre Star, and the fa-^.t that all the stock was taken up by War Eagle shareholders, shows in what form the property is held, as well as the management. It is true that War Eage stock has declined a few points, but I believe that this can be satisfactorily explained, and that it will again advance, as there is nothing either in the presentshowing of the property, or in the management to shake confidence, though some owners of shares may have become weak-kneed when the Centre Star shares were offered to them at a preference. The war in South Africa, according to private advices from London, is an ill wind, no doubt, and Southern British Columbia is likely to be benefitted very materially during the coming year. The shrinkage, followed by hostilities, have put South Africa out of court, and I am informed by good authority that Kootenay and Boundary will receive much more than ordinary attention. When one looks at the entire situation, it must dawn upon him that at no time in the past has Southern British Columbia prospects looked better than they do now. Neighbors, Not Rivals. Why all the foolish talk about rivalry existing between Grand Forks and Greenwood? There is no rivalry tween these two places, nor is there chance for any rivalry. Both these ies have their own sharply defined ritory, and it is practically impossible for one to infringe upon its neighbor's domain. It would bo the height of folly for Grand Forks merchants to try to corral the trade of Deadwood, Copper, Long Lake, or any of the camps along Boundary Creek ; while the trade of Fisherman, Seattle, Browns, French, Knights and the other camps of the North Fork, and the West Fork of North Fork is as sharply tributary to Grand Forks, and all the newspaper talk and trail building in the world would not take it over the mountains to Greenwood. There is plenty of room for both to grow and become flourishing cities without infringing upon the territory of the other, and this growth will be greatly accelerated by joining hands and striving togellier for the best intere entire section. Let us realize that we are neighbors, not rivals.���Grand Forks Miner. How to Cook. Pope says:��� "The vulgar boll, the learned roast un egK." But if he had lived until now he would know there are twenty other ways of cooking one.

The experience of the citizens of Greenwood since the arrival of freight via the railway is sufficient to justify them in demanding that Greenwood be created an independent port of entry. In fact, as matters now stand, the customs office here should receive the immediate and very careful attention of the authorities at Ottawa. It is safe to say. that three-fifth of the goods entering the Boundary country at the present time is being unloaded and cleared here and one officer is quite unable to adequately perform the duties imposed upon him. Mr. McCutcheon is one of the very best officials in the province and is giving, and does his best to give, satisfaction to the business community, but it cannot be expected, that without assistance, he can, alone, handle the business of this port; nor should the government expect officials to work fifteen or sixteen hours a day at high pressure for a small, or any, salary. Moreover, under the circumstances, Greenwood, which does the major part of the business of the whole district, should not, in justice to its citizens, be permitted to continue to be an outport of Grand Forks. This is a matter upon which the board of trade and the city council should take action. Thb sentiment expressed by the Grand Forks Miner in regard to the relations existing between Grand Forks and Greenwood, which are reproduced elsewhere, are prompted by the right kind of spirit, and wo trust that such sentiments will be shared by the people of Grand Forks generally. When President Shaughnessy was here he stated in an interview with a representative of the Greenwood Miner that there was room for threeor four as large cities as Denver, Rutte and Spokane between Rosslaud and the Okanagan valley. If the citizens of the Boundary country look at it in the right light they will realize that nothing except legitimate rivalry can exist between the principal towns. Each place has its special advantages and enterprise, and natural position and certain surrounding conditions will eventually determine which is to be the chief town and Greenwood is willing to take its chances as to the outcome. The Miner heartily reciprocates the sentiments expressed by its contemporary in Grand Forks. The question of manual training is now receiving the attention, in some quarters in Canada, which its merits demand. The matter has been taken up by that energetic enthusiast, Prof. Robertson, of Ottawa, and Sir Wm. C. McDonald, of Montreal, who has done so much for McGili University, has made the generous offer to establish and maintain a school for manual training in this Province. Vancouver and Victoria are both bidding strongly for the institution. Apart altogether from the location it is a hopeful sign of the times when educational methods are beginning to take so practical a turn as this. In the past altogether too much attention has been given to theoretical and intellectual training apart from a definite object in life, and many evil results have followed as a consequence. The Spokesman-Review contains the information that President Hill of the Great Northern will not build the proposed San Poil line into Republic. It is stated that Mr. Hill will ultimately build into Republic camp, but the rpute chosen will be through the Okanogan valley. This news is somewhat disturbing to the Spokesman-Review, which says that if the line should be built, it would put Seattle in cloBe and bothersome competition with Spokane. The Review believes that the C. P. R. will not build into Republic, which it is justified in assuming from tho statement of President Shaughnessy while in Greenwood ; but it is announced that J. P. Graves or Clarence McCuaig are probable promoters of a line from the Canadian side to Republic. Tho Nelson Tribune, in referring to the remarks of the Greenwood Mixer on the report that Clarence McCuaig, one of the owners of the Payne mine, Slocan, guided by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, intended testing the constitutionality of the eight-hour law, would leave the impression that this paper shared the view that the measure was unconstitutional in British Columbia. This is quite opposite in effect to what was stated as to the position of the Miner, which believes that the legislature of British Columbia was wholly within its constitutional rights in passing such a law; and that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States as to the rights of the States to enact such a law would have no bearing on the question so far as this Province was concerned. The Nelson Tribune announces that J. 0. Drewery, a prominent mining man of the Kootenay, will probably be the liberal candidate for Yale-Cariboo and that tho main issue will be the eight- hour law. Mr. Drewery is an old newspaper man, formerly of the Globe staff. This is probably only a rumor, and in any event the candidate would have to be the nominee of the convention called for that purpose. What the eight-hour law would have to do with a Dominion candidature, however, is difficult to see. C. Dell Smith, a well known newspaper man of British Columbia, and for some time on the Standard in Rossland, has accepted a position on the Miner staff at Nelson.

As will be seen by the council report in another column, tho British Columbia Copper Co. has asked for a bonus of J land in connection with the smelter site. As the smelter is outside the corporation limits it will be necessary, in order for the council to assist in the way proposed, to have a petition presented to that body signed by one-tenth of the property owners of the city, praying that a by-law for the purpose be submitted to the people. Tho petition in question is now being circulated. It is not likely that the proposal will meet with opposition. The circumstances in connection with this matter were fully explained by Paul Johnsou at the council meeting Monday night. There is no question that if this concession had been asked for before the smelter site was chosen the rate-payers would only too willingly have granted it to secure what they now possess, and which will be of great benefit to the city. . The Mother Lode. The main shaft of the Mother lode mine, in Deadwood camp, is now down 305 feet and is all in ore estimated to average in value at least $15 to the ton. A station will be cut out here and then drifting at the 300 foot level will be commenced. The north drift at the 200 foot level is now 510 feet from the shaft in a big body of ore that will run ".bout $18. For the last 120 feet this drift has been all in on/of good grade. An upraise will shortly be started at 490 feet in to connect this level with tho old workings above. As the winze from tlie old crosscut tunnel is down only 135 feet there is still a distance of 140 feet to be holed through to make the intended connection between old and now workings. When this shall have been done the ventilation for this part of the mine will be all that can be desired. Owing to the very bad state of the roads around the mine great difficulty is just now being experienced in keeping the furnaces supplied with cordwood. Strike on the Winnipeg. The strike in'the Winnipeg has been confirmed by Duncan Mcintosh, president and general manager of the Winni- pod Mining & Smelting Co. Mr. Mcintosh stated that the find was made in a cross-cut on the 300-foot level at a point 130 feet north of the shaft. "When I left the mine," said Mr. Mcintosh, "the vein was 45 feet in width, and there was no wall in sight, and for this reason its width cannot yet be stated. It is one of the largest bodies of clean ore I ever saw. I no not know what the values carried by the ore are, for the reason that I have had no assays made. We are putting in an assay office, and as soon as this is done the values in the oro will be determined. I may say, however, that the ore is similar in appearance to that found in the other portions of the mine, and the presumption would be that it carries the same values.���Rossland Miner.

The man who is worth a million may be a man for a' that; and, if the stories are true, he may be a United States Senator for less than half that. Prince Herbert Bismarck does not endear himself to his countrymen. The object of his life seems to be to keep the public away from Friedrichsruh, and to snub every German who wishes to pay any kind of homage to the home of the great chancellor. The latest order of the Prince is that no beer is to be sold to visitors on his estate. "Fighting Rob" Evans tells this story: "When Eulate, the commander of the Viscaya, got on board the Iowa, I took him into my cabin and gave him the best I had. Through the open port he saw his vessel beached and burning. Tears trickled down his cheeks. I felt very sorry for the poor fellow, as he moaned, 'AdoiB, Viscaya! Adois my noble ship!' After he had composed himself a bit, I offered him a cigar���the best on the Iowa���a 5-center. He looked at it, thanked me, straightened up, laid back his shoulders, and, running his hand inside his coat, brought forth an 'invincible' that couldn't be bought in New York for less than one dollar. 'And, captain,' he said emotionally, 'will you have the goodness to try one of mine?' It was the best smoke I ever had. Prof. Bunsen, the great German chemist who died recently, was the recipient of numberless orders and decorations, which he held in the smallest esteem. Whenever any sovereign or noble of high degree stopped over in Heidelberg, Professor Bunsen was always invited to state banquets, but he never failed to arrive late, generally forgetting to array himself in his decorations. To obviate this the governess in the professor's family adopted the plan of sticking all his orders into his evening trousers pockets, so that he could put them on his breast while he was being driven to his entertainments. One day he appeared at a function in honor of a grand duke of Baden with all his crosses and his medals still in his pockets. One of his colleagues took him to one side and called his attention to his neglect. Bunsen thereupon coolly pulled out a handful of decorations, and stepping up to a mirror began pinning them to his breast, while the other guests standing about looked at him in amazement. But Bunsen, quite unembarrassed, and without noticing their astonishment, remarked genially : "Oh, I have as many more in the other pocket!" And, calm and dignified in the midst of the hush, Pe proceeded to complete his adornment. INTERIOR TOPICS. The Pilot Bat Smelter has passed into the hands of an English syndicate. It is not learned, however, when this smelter, which has been closed down for so long, will be in operation again. The Grand Forks Miner states that Clarence J. McCuaie is figuring on putting ina matting plant at Grand Forks for the B. C. mine, but adds with caution that Mr. McCuaig has made no definite announcement fn regard to the intention of his company. That he does not propose erecting this smelter very soon, if at all, is evident from the fact that contracts have been made for the delivery of 00,000 tons of ore to the smelter at Trail, Dry Goods, Clothing, ^ Furnishings and Millinery. ^ CALL ON US.

The Waterloo is looking well. $150 ore has been encountered in the west drift. Workings have extended 200 feet on the west drift, and 30 feet on the east drift. Tlie shaft is 87 feet down on the Sailor. In cross-cuting at a a depth of 75 feet they cut four veins of quartz, with ledge matter fifteen feet between the walls. Major Megraw, of the Minnehaha, has erected a residence on the new townsite, and as he has gone east the wise heads are drawing their own conclusions. A new hotel is being erected on the Sailor townsite by Paquette and Alheidt. It will be a comfortable, well finished, twelve-roomed hotel. The main working shaft of the Kamloops is down nearly 80 feet, The ledge, it is expected, will be encountered at a depth of 150 feet. A cross-cut will be run from the 100-foot level. The lodge has also been opened by a series of open cuts, and several shafts including one of 50 feet. It varies in width in the main ���haft from three to five feet. A thirty horse-power boiler and hoist has just been ordered. A plant will be installed as soon as the development opens up enough ore to supply a 10-stamp mill. Although high assays have been obtained, the average values are about $15 per ton. The Waterloo is looking well. Work sinking another 100 feet to the 200-foot level will be commenced shortly. The five-stamp mill is working day and night, and the result of the clean-up will be announced shortly. The capacity of the plant will be doubled in January. property is in progress, and at the same time ore is being stoped out of the 100- foot level with t>ro machines, so there will bo plenty of material for the stamps to fall on when the mill is ready for operation. The Cariboo continues to grind out its regular monthly dividend of $12,- 500. The camp as a whole has a very healthy tone, and the people there have only the highest hopes for its future. THE ORO DENERO. Mr. Cochrane Tells of the Work Done in This Mine. Mr. Neil Cochrane, superintendent of the Oro Denero, which is the property of the King Gold Mining company, in speaking about the Oro Denero said he expected to commence shipments of ore from the mine early next week. The railway is constructed to the dump of the Oro Denero. It runs through the property. If the cars can be secured the first shipment will consist of 100 tons, and this ore will net something to the company, as it runs between $40 and $50 to the ton. The ore will be sent to the Trail smelter, as a fairly advantageous rate for freight and treatment has been given by the smelter. Mr. Cochrane reported on the property for the King Mining company in May, 1898, and his expectations as outlined in the report have been full verified. The property has been opened by a shaft 200 feet in depth, and from this a drift has been run in ore for a distance of 140 eet. On the surface the railway graders exposed a body of shipping ore 40 feet wide. The drift has cross-cut an ore body six feet in width, at a point 85 feet from the shaft. A carefully taken sample went $94 to the ton. The drift will have to be run about 50 feet before it will tap the ledge, which was uncovered by the railway cutting on the surface. It is expected that ten days' more work will accomplish this. It must be understood that the entire drift is in ore of a fair grade with shoots here and there of especially high class ore. Mining men all over the Boundary Creek section speak in the highest terms of the Oro Denero, as they regard it as on�� of the best showings for the amount of work done, in that section.���Rossland Miner. The Granite and Banner are turning out a $500 gold brick weekly. Development iB being pushed on an extensive scale. The camp is very lively just now. Mr. E. G. Warren, Camp McKinney, reports that there is a lot of development work in progress in Camp McKiiiney. All of the old properties aro being worked, and several new ones have recently been started up. Among the latter is the Little Cariboo, on which a shaft is being sunk. The live-stamp mill of the Waterloo Gold Mining company started to run permanently on Saturday last. The mill was operated before that, but was run intermittently while the new machinery was got into shape. It is anticipated that the Waterloo clean-up will be within the nexi, two weeks. As the ore is of a good grade it is thought that the clean-up will be a satisfactory one. Mr. Warren says the Waterloo will be the next dividend payer in British Columbia. There is plenty of ore in sight, and one shift can easily keep the mill in operation. Warren says the Minnehaha is erecting a ten-stamp mill, which will be completed within the next two month. In I the meanwhile the development of the: Col. E. S. Topping, of Trail, is back from Sumpter, Ore., and thinks that that camp is going to be a second Cripple Creek. He has considerable interest there. G. S. GORDON, M. D. Phoenix - ��� - - B. C. Telephone. A. C GAtUT, Barrister, Etc., Rossland. Poatoifice Building - - Telephone 47.

GREENWOOD, B. C. Friday, Nov. 17, 1899. THE GREENWOOD MINER. THE CITY COUNCIL Consider a Request From the B. C. Copper Co. The Question of Water Works, and Sewerage System Looming Up- Opening Up Alleyways. toria on the powers of the city, and the possibilities in the way of enabling legislation. Before adjourning, the city solicitor's salary was increased to $o0 a month. It was pointed out that Mr. Leamy had done a great deal of work for tlie city at $25 a month, out of all proportion, in fact, to his remuneration ; and all agreed as to the justice of the increase. The session of the city council on Monday evening was a long one, though less exciting than those held recently. There were only two auditors, including Paul Johnson. Mayor Hardy and Aid. Wood, Galloway, Sutherland, and Fisher were present. City Engineer Alston reported on the platting of the cemetery, and other matters in connection therewith, Fritz Haussener asked permission to cut some trees on the cemetery grounds along the road for fire wood. It was suggested that the city might make some revenue by way of royalty, or lease, and the matter was left in the hands of the cemetery committee to report upon. Accounts to the amount of $724.43 were recommended by the finance committee, and passed. The letter of Hallett & Shaw, on behalf of the B. C. Copper Co., asking for a bonus of 36 acres for the smelter, was read, and Paul Johnson addressed the council. He said they should appreciate the value of the smelter to the city. He had been offered a site free from Grand Forks, but had come to Greenwood without asking any bonus, or other concession. He would have come to the council sooner, but in order to get an option on the land required, he had to act quickly, and depended on the city to act afterwards. The Mayor and the aldermen all agreed the matter was a fair one to consider, and were agreeable to submit a by-law, the Mayor suggesting that the money, $3,(i00, necessary to buy the land should not be paid until 3(1,000 tons of ore had been smelted. The city solicitor advised that, as the property was outside of the city limits, it would be necessary to have a petition to the council signed by one-tenth of the real property owners. In reply to the Mayor, Mr. Johnson said he expected to have the smelter running in June or July, when the pay roll would be $9,000 or $10,000 a month, nearly all of which would be spent in Greenwood, and the output 8,000 or 9,000 tons a month. Anaconda had contributed 18 acres. The Mayor reported for the street committee. He also took up the question of opening alleyways between Copper and Silver streets, which had been stopped. This matter occupied their at- attention for some little time, it being strongly emphasized that for fire and scavenger purposes it was absolutely necessary to have these alleyways opened up. Finally, a committee was appointed to examine the properties affected, and report as to their values, and the best means of proceeding. Upon the suggestion of Mayor Hardy the city engineer was authoiized to get an estimate of the cost of water works and a sewerage system. He thought it would be necessary to establish a pumping station. The disposal of the sewage was a more serious problem. The matter of securing the franchises for the city for tramway lines to the various camps was the next subject of serious deliberation, and it was finally decided that the city solicitor should obtain the advice of a legal firm in Vic- THE MINISTER OF MINES Pays a Hurried Visit to Greenwood This Week. Hon. J. Fred Hume, Minister of Mines, arrived in Greenwood on Monday afternoon, and spent that and the following day here. On Tuesday he was driven by Paul Johnson to the smelter and the Mother Lode Mine. He spent several hours inspecting the workings of the Mother Lode, going down the shaft and through the various drifts and tunnels, Mr. Hume in conversation afterwards said that he had heard a good deal about the Boundary country, but never before conceived the extent and richness of the ore bodies such as he saw disclosed there; and he had no doubt from the representations of reliable men that while the Mother Lode was possibly one of the greatest mines in the district, it was nevertheless representative of a number of other properties. He was evidently very deeply impressed with the possibilities of this district, and assured his friends here that,he would do all in his power as Minister of Mines to assist in their development, or in any other way further the progress of the people here. Mr. Hume was entertained at dinner by Paul Johnson at the Clarendon, and left at eight o'clock Tuesday night for Revelstoke. He regretted that owing to urgent business >g to lie was unable to remain to visit the other mining camps surrounding Greenwood .

Vieit By Mr. Tye and Arrangements for j Traffic etc. W. F. Tye, Chief Engineer of Construction for the Columbia and Western Ry., was in the city this week en route from the Similkameen country, having come from Spences Bridge on the C. P. R. main line through Princeton, Keremeos and Camp McKinney. Mr. Tye has been in the Similkameen country for some time in connection with the survey and location of the C. P. R. line, which are now being carried on west of Midway���a very suggestive circumstance considered in connection with the C. P. R. policy of extension coastward. Mr. Tye eaid that the line would be extended to Midway just as soon as rails could be obtained for the purpose, pointing out that the C. P. R. could not gain anything by delay, as the work would cost more after the snow had come than it would at the present time. The difficulty of obtaining steel is the sole stumbling block now. A depot will be erected in Greenwood at once, construction to commence next week. The design will be similar to that of the station at Arrowhead, which is a neat and commodious structure. Arrangements for passenger traffic were made in Mr. Tye's absence, but it is understood that passenger trains will run regularly into Greenwood after Monday of next week. The time table will conform to that at present in operation on the line���trains leaving here at 1 p. m. and arriving at 3 p. m. Canada vs. Great Britain.
