THE GREENWOOD MINER 5 Vol. 1, No. 26. GREENWOOD, B. C, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1899. $200 Pei Tear. MARTIN BOWLED OUT His Exciting Ministerial Career Cut Short. Cotton Carries the Caucus all His Way���Fighting Joe Deserted by His Followers but Will Fight to a Finish. Special to the Miner. Vancouver, B. C, July 27.���Attorney- General Martin has resigned to-day. YV. W. B. Mclnnes, M. P., son of the Lieutenant-Governor, is said to be his probable successor. At the Government caucus last night in Victoria, Martin stood practically alone. Only three of the Government supporters in the Legislature were absent from the meeting. Hot passages occurred between Cotton and Semlin on one side and Martin on the other. When the meeting opened Martin had six on his side. The whole of the Government's policy was discussed. Cotton urged that if they divided as now shown, the Government must go to smash. The six followers of Martin then deserted hjm, fearing a general election and its attendant risk. Martin took his defeat calmly, and says he will fight to the end. [Tlie above is an historic dispatch, or will become so. It is the first telegraphic press dispatch to be received in Greenwood, and contains very important news. A private dispatch to the editor states that an entirely new deal is on. Particulars are not available yet, and may not be for some days. The outcome of the caucus is very much as anticipated. Martin is out of office, but not dead by any means.���Ed.] ADDITIONAL LOCALS. \ F. Lewin, of the Bank of B. N. A., has been removed to the hospital, suffering from a low fever. Matt, the foreman of the rock cutting on the Deadwood branch line of the C. P. R., has had a 8Q0-1I). blast of powder ready to shoot for some days. At the first trial the fuse burned out, and Matt is now waiting for a convenieut opportunity to surprise the town. G. A. McNaughton, Huntingdon, Que., who traveled West with the Grandby smelter people, is in Greenwood. A large force of men are at work on the Cariboo in Camp McKinney. New ground is being opened up and new machinery installed The Midway Advance is authority for the statement that the C. P. R. engineers have discovered a new and feasible route for a railway over the divide between the Kettle and Okanogan River valleys to the south of Camp McKinney. W. C. Fox, of Fox & Ross, mining and investment brokers, Toronto, and Donald Ross, son of A. W. Ross, Columbia, were in Greenwood Wednesday and Thursday on their way to Camp McKinney. Mr. Ross is secretary of the Sailor Company, and is interested in other properties. On his way out he will visit the celebrated Golden Cache. F. W. G. Fitzpatrick, secretary and manager of the Birbeck Investment, Security & Savings Co., Toronto, and Thos. Long, vice-president, and a director of the Merchants Bank, spent several days in Greenwood this week. They are both exceptionally well pleased on account of the substantial appearance of the place and business-like methods of the people. This good impression is all the more important from the fact that their mission here was practically to look over and report on the field as one for investment. J. B. McArthur. it is understood, is laying out a townsite to be known as New York, north of and on the Brooklyn, Phoenix, J. Empey, Spokane, representing South African Brown, and Mr. Stephens, a mining man, also of Spokane, have returned from a visit to West Fork, where they were examining properties. J. Con- nick, Spokane, who went up to West Fork with Empey and Stephens is still there looking after development work. Messrs. D. H. Beecher, Grand Forks, N. D., and W. F. Honey, Park River, N. D., both prominent business men of that state, are in the city. Last evening they attended a meeting of the Boundary Homestake Co., in which they are largely interested. The Homestake has just been incorporated and last evening was formally organized. The officers elected are: President, D. M. Mcintosh, Winnipeg mine; Vice-President, J. R. Riordan, Spokane; Treasurer, D. H. Beecher, President of the Union National Bank, Grand Forks, N. D.; Secretary, Ansel Bates, of the Winnipeg mine. Directors: E. J. Dyer, president of the Exchange National Bank, Spokane ; P. Harris, M. E.; D. A. Cameron, manager Bank of Commerce; and G. E. Towle, cashier of the First National Bank, Park River, N. D. THE KNOB HILL FOLK Came Down From Phoenix to See Greenwood. Interesting Interviews With Several Members of the Party���Some Particulars of What is Proposed. Rushing It Through. W. F. Tye, chief engineer of the Columbia & Western, returned yesterday from Penticton, after having seen the C. P. R. officials to that point on their way to the coast. With reference to the line westward, he said it was now in sight of Cascade, and at that point their difficulties were practically over with. Two weeks later tho steel would be laid to Grand Forks. Freight would be delivered to Cascade almost immediately, and as soon after as possible, passenger trains would be running. Mr. Tye thought that passenger trains would be running to Grand Forks by the first of September, and one month later into Greenwood. For the first part of the line the difficulties were very great owing to the number of bridges, and the inability to get material on the ground. Everything towards their construction had to be brought in over the track as it was laid. It was practically impossible to build more than one bridge at a time, and progress was necessarily slow. The track for nearly the whole way was in the air, and getting material up to it even if it were available was out of the question. The company was rushing the work with all possible speed. This city, during the past week, has been visited by a very large number of mining men and capitalists, who either own large interests themselves or represent large interests. Probably the most important combination of mining men were the shareholders and directors in the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill mines and the Grandby smelter. The first detachment arrived in the city on Saturday, consisting of A. L. White, Montreal, Secretary of the company, E. M. Carroll and wife, New York, and Gordon Stevens, director of the Eastern Townships bank, Waterloo, Que. They went on to Camp McKinney, and returned on Tuesday. These gentlemen spoke in the most enthusiastic way about the prospects of this section of the country, and are especially well pleased about properties in which they are more particularly interested. Mr. Carroll, who is a mining investor of New York, said he had visited nearly all the mining camps of the West, and was interested in many of them, and while not wishing to draw comparisons, was free to say that the showings in the Boundary country were the most remarkable he had ever seen in his life. It would be simply impossible to estimate the wealth that would be produced. It is a great copper camp, and copper was still in the ascendency as a mineral, and would continue to be in his opinion. The wonderful advancement of electricity and development of electrical appliances in which copper was used would keep demand in advance of supply, and lie did not think aluminum or any other substance was likely to take its place. The only element of danger he foresaw was the development, of labor troubles through the eight-hour law and similar legislation. In his opinion, if labor continued to organize against capital so as to render its operations unremunerative, there was only one way out of it, that was for capital to organize against such efforts on a larger scale, and he deprecated any tendency to bring these two forces into conflict. On Wednesday another section of the party arrived in the persons of S. H. C. Miner, president of the company, Mrs. Miner, and Miss Miner, Grandby, Que.; W. S. Farwell, General Manager of the Eastern Townships Bank; H. B. Brown, Q. C, of Sherbrooke, Que.; W. H. Robinson, Grandby; F. C. Graves, Spokane, and W. C. Flummerfelt, Victoria, manager of the Ames, Holden Co., Victoria. They came down from Phoenix in the morning "and remained until five o'clock in the afternoon. The Miner representative had a long talk with Mr. Miner respecting the district and the interests represented by himself and his friends. He first of all expressed his pleasure at the very satis factory progress he observed in Greenwood since a year ago, and had no reason to doubt that it would fully come up to the expectations of the citizens in the future. He was especially pleased with the substantial character of the buildings in course of erection. The more substantial, the better for the safety of the town. In this connection, he said there was so much wealth in the country, and each town had so many special advantages of its own that it was foolish for any jealousy to exist. There was room for all. While he believed in honest rivalry, he did not believe in foolish opposition to each other. His own company took no sides whatsoever, and went along and developed their properties irrespective of local or real estate interests with which they had no concern. What they did was in the best interests of their own business. Referring to the properties of the company, he said a persistent and continuous policy of development was the course they intended to pursue, and when they put their hand to the plow, it was not with the intention of holding back. When they undertook to develop a property they did so. So far the success of their efforts was wholly satisfactory to them. They had great bodies of ore in sight and by the time the smelter was erected they fully expected to have sufficient to keep it running continuously. An acre of ore was blocked out in the Old Ironsides alone. They would ship from the tunnel of the Knob Hill, and were^developing all their properties. The output of all these together with the product of the many other mines in in the district that were putting in machinery would create an industry the effect of which could hardly be appreciated at the present time. There was room for more than one or two smelters. The company has six claims in the Greenwood camp, the Knob Hill, Old Ironsides, Etna, Fourth of July, Phoenix, and Victoria. These would be all worked from the same shaft with a series of compressors. The company was installing on the Ironsides, or rather intended to, a 10x15 hoist with an 80 h. p. boiler, which was on the way. A shaft house would be built to house a two- compartment shaft capable of sinking to the 1000-foot level. The company he said wsiH erecting fourteen houses for the employees, a residence for the manager, bunk house, etc. It was the intention to provide for the accommodation of 200 men. The railway was being graded to the mines, and would be completed simultaneously with tlie main line to Greenwood. The company also owned and were developing the California, Muscat and Snowshoe at Rossland, and the City of Paris, Lincoln and Majestic in White's camp. All of these were showing up satisfactorily. Mr. Miner and party will be in the Bonndary camps for some days yet. Mr. Hall, of Hall & McDonald, who left here over a year ago for Dawson is in town. He left Dawson City on the 8th of July, and made a quick trip out. Dave and Alex Beath have just returned from the West Fork, where they have been doing development work on the Atlantic Cable. They report a big strike having been made on a claim an- joining the Highland Lass on Beaver creek, by Spokane parties. There are five feet of galena ore. mmmm THE GREENWOOD MINER. Friday, July 28, 1899. BOARD OF ALDERMEN. The Spokesman-Review Proposition to advertise Greenwood ��� A new City Engineer appointed���A Grist of By-Laws on hand. Regular meeting of the Council was held on Monday night with Mayor Hardy, Aldermen Galloway, Wood, Cameron and Sutherland preBent. A letter was read from the representative of the Spokesman Review making a proposition to the city to publish for $900 an advertisement for two months together with 10 columns a month of reading matter. Another letter was read from A. C. Gait, Rossland, asking for more information re the debentures. Mr. Baker, representing the Spokesman-Review, was then heard at the Council Board, with reference to the proposition contained in the letter in question. He spoke for some time and made what is known in familiar parlance an a "good talk." He was thanked on motion of Alderman Wood, and informed that his letter and talk would have careful consideration later on. Later on, however, there was no time for discussion, and consideration was postponed for one week. The following accounts were reported upon by the Finance committee and ordered paid: C. W. Edwards, $144.29; Hunter & Kendrick, $4.47 ; B. C. Times, $19.50; W. M. Law & Co., 2.75; C. J. McArthur, $5; Palmer & Hunter, $54.10; OlBen & Phelan, $2; C. W. H. Sansom, $135. An application from C. F. Alston, M. E., for the position of city engineer was read, and also a number of very flattering testimonials. Upon motion Mr. Alston's application was accepted, and he was duly appointed in the place of the late occupant of the office. The following resolution was then read and unanimously adopted: "Whereas, the rapid growth of the Boundarv district has made it indispensable that a resident Supreme Court Registrar Bhould be appointed and regular sittings of the Surreme Court held in the district, and "Whereas, Greenwood is both the most central and most populous place in the district, "Be it therefore resolved, that this council call the attention of the Government to the urgent need of appointing a Supreme Court Registrar at Greenwood. "And that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable the Attorney-General by the clerk." The aldermen then took up the bylaws which were still under way, quite a batch in all. No. 28 was a bylaw to license and regulate the business of plumbing in the city. It provides for a board of examiners, consisting of the city engineer, the health officer and the city plumber. These men examine all journeymen plumbers, who have to pay a fee of $1. Plumbing establishments pay a license of $5 per six months. In addition to that all the contracts have to be submitted to the city plumber for approval, who also sees that contracts are carried out according to the city bylaws. Council went into a committee of the whole on this, but got tired after a while and rose and reported progress. No. 27 was a bylaw to regulate plumbing and sanitary arrangements in the city, in which were defined the requirements of plumbing, etc., being a sort of sequel to the bylaw just read. It was read a third time. Bylaws 25 and 26 which had been read a third time before, were reconsidered and finally passed. The Treasurer reported that Aid. Sutherland had refused to accept payment of $4 for his printing account, as the printing had been ordered from his foreman without his knowledge. Before adjourning, His Worship pointed out the necessity of filling the vacancies on the aldermanic board. He was tiied of the difficulties of obtaining a quorum. Each man promised to do what he could in that respect. A Foothold in Phoenix, With the characteristic energy and zeal of the pioneer missionaries, Revs. R. W. Trotter and B. H. Balderston have decided to establish themselves in Phoenix. On Tuesnay they went up there and made arrangements to hold services on a joint, non-denominational basis and to build a building for the purpose to cost about $400. Towards this end they secured the co-operation of the Ironsides Co. Mr. Miner, the president, subscribed $100 and promised that the company would build a building of their own next summer for the purpose of holding divine services. The company will also erect an emergency hospital there. A CBEDITABLE BLOCK. Rendell & Co's. New Block Practically Completed and Occupied. What is probably the finest business block in the Boundary is in Greenwood, and will be known as the Rendell block. It is practically completed, the finishing touches depending upon the arrival of the railway to bring in the pressed steel and the plate glass. The whole building of three stories will be occupied from cellar to attic. It is hardly necessary to state that the building is on the corner of Copper and Greenwood streets, 100 by 50 feet in surface dimensions and three stories high. Completed, the cost will be $18,- 000 or over. On the first floor is Rendell & Co's. store, with the Bank of Montreal on the corner. On the second floor are offices entirely, which will be occupied by Pringle & Whiteside, Keith & Ketchum, the C. P. R. offices, J. E. Leckie, M. E., F. W. Groves, P. L. S., and two others whose names are not given. The third story is occupied by the Greenwood club, whose quarters are described elsewhere. The exterior of the building will be covered with pressed steel in imitation of stone, and the interior with pressed steel also, but very artistically decorated. The best effects are to be found in the Bank of Montreal offices, which are calculated to make all the other Bank managers in the country envious. The fittings are of the best, and the decorations have had special attention paid to them. The bank premises are ready to be occupied. In the rear and in the basement is located the wholesale liquor department. The Rendell block was begun last December, and has been more or less under construction ever since. It will be heated in the most modern way throughout, the heat being supplied by a hot blast system of furnace, fans and ducts, which are guaranteed to convey warmth to the uttermost part of the premises. Corbin's Telegraph Line. The Spokane and Northern Telegraph company is to make some important extensions into the Boundary Creek country. When D. C. Corbin sold his system to the Great Northern company, he retained the telegraph line, which runs from Spokane to Rossland, and THE PIONEER HOTEL. GreenWOOd City, Boundary Creek. B. C.

When he applied for charters for a railway and a telegraph line into the Boundary Creek country, the former was refused and the latter granted him. Tlie line will be constructed from Marcus, where connection will be made with the line running to Rossland, Nelson and Spokane. It will be extended to Cascade, Grand Forka, Columbia, Greenwood and Midway. From tire latter point it will be extended down the Kettle river to Curlew and thence to Republic. The latter place will thuB be given direct communication with the leading Boundary points. The Spokane Falls & Northern already has telegraphic connection with Republic by a line that stretches along the Marcus-Republic road. It is claimed that this line will be abandoned as soon as the one via Curlew is constructed, for the reason that it is built over the mountain range and is difficult to keep open during the winter. It is expected the new lire wil be ready for business inside of a month.���Rossland Miner. CARPENTER & CO., Photographers. LATEST DESIGNS IN PLATINUM CABINETS AND MANTELLOS.

The plans of the Greenwood Baptist church have been completed, and tenders for construction asked for. The date of the issuing of the Miner has been changed from Saturday as formerly to Friday. There have been a great many tickets sold for the benefit conceit and lecture in aid of the Greenwood Fire Department. Major Ro'ss, who has charge of the entertainment, will lecture on "Humanity," The band will be in attendance. Rev. Ralph Trotter, who has been prevented by illness from paying his regular pastoral visits to Greenwood, occupied the pulpit Sunday in Barrett's hall. His subject in the morning was "Religion for the Age," and in the evening, "Signs/if the Times." The dance in Rendell's hall on Monday night was well attended. A. G. Simpson, auditor, Greenwood, has accepted a position in Phoenix as book keeper for the firm of Wynkoop & Stephens, general merchants, and left on Tuesday to be installed in office. On the way up, however, he accidentally dropped his watch and chain, just where the trail joins the main road. Any person finding them will be duly rewarded by leaving them at this office Rev. B. H. Balderston will preach in Barrett's hall, on Sunday at 11 a. m. and 7:30 in the evening. Eholt townsite will in all probability be placed on the market during the coming week. Messrs. Mowat and Palmer, mining and real estate brokers, have dissolved partnership. As will be seen by the advertisement elsewhere Arthur Mowat continues the business. R. B. Dixon, representing the Rossland Miner, is in the city in the interests of that paper. A. B. Macneill, principle of the Victoria West school, Victoria, is in the city. He is on a vacation trip, coming in by way of Ponticton, and will go out via Bossburg. C. F. Costerton, Vernon, and J. H. Poff, Vancouver, came into Greenwood -this week by way of Penticton, and are here in the interests of their insurance business. There will be a strawberry festival and ice cream social���the first of the season���in the new Methodist church and on the grounds about it, Tuesday evening next, August 1. The committee of arrangements promise the best of strawberries and cream, and the coldest ice cream, for "two bits" a plate each. Since last week a further rich strike has been made on the Royal Victoria property, North Fork, at the 100-foot level, At present the vein of the new strike is about two feet wide. In this connection it may be stated that in the fast issue of the Miner describing this property, the assays were stated as running all the way up to "$10.40," whereas it should have boen $1040. It is understood that F. J. Finucane, manager of the Bank of Montreal, has purchased the Imperial Hotel block and four lots for $12,500. The property has a frontage of 50 feet on Copper street. This is one of the most important real estate deals that has taken place in Greenwood, and is the best possible indication of faith in Greenwood by those who are in a position to judge of its future. It iB reported that the. Bank Ville Marie of Quebec has suspended. It would, therefore, be wise to bear this in mind in receiving bank bills. Howard Chapman, Victoria, representing Ames, Holden & Co., and the Grandby Rubber Co., was in town, this week. W. C. Flummerfelt, manager of the former company, was also in town, having come in with the other shareholders of the Ironsides and Knob Hill mines. Telephone connection will be completed to Camp McKinney in a few days. F. Keffer, manager of the Mother Lode, is being visited by his father and two sisters of Columbus, O. W. S. Topping of Trail, and Ross Thompson of Rossland, the well known "fathers" of their respective towns, were in Greenwood during the early part of the week. John East, one of the pioneer prospectors of these camps, was in town the other day, having returned from the West Fork district. He reports the prospects on James Creek as showing up well, and regards that district as a. coming mining camp of importance. His claims there adjoin the Joe Dandy, which is owned by S. M. Barrett, and which is being developed into a property of promise. There are a good many people going in, and at Cottonwood creek free gold is being reported as being found. A party consisting of R. G. Edwards- Leckie, Republic; A. McKay Dick, B. C. mine; Hugh Baker, Rossland; Alex Dick, Rossland; and P. A. O'Farrel, correspondent at large, rode into Greenwood on Tuesday evening and remained over until the following afternoon. They came in by way of Rossland and visited the B. C. mine and other properties on their way in. They made a visit to several of the camps, and went on to Republic. Mr. O'Farrell, the well known syndicate correspondent, will give his impressions of the Boundary camps in the various newspapers represented by him. He said the thing that impressed him most about the whole Boundary district, as to its future, was the amount df railway construction going. It was a remarkable expenditure of money and energy, and meant something substantial. Miners' Hotel, COPPER STREET. WALTER WATERLAND, Prop. A Finely Equipped Bar, Board by Day or Week.

Bielenberg, Thos Roadley, and M. E. Miller have returned from the Similkameen, whither they went last week to look at some properties. Their objective point was the headwaters of the Keremeos and Twenty-Mile creeks. Mr. Bielenberg reports large bodies of arsenical iron ore with copper sulphides. These are purely surface showings, with a width of at least fifty feet. The party saw a good many claims of similar character, all looking well. A large number of people are going in, and it is likely to bebecom the Mecca of mining men and prospectors. There are some excellent showings of free milling ore. Mr. Bielenberg would express no opinion as to the value of the camp, other than to say that if the valueB were good, and everything depended on that, the large bodies of ore in existence there would undoubtedly bring the camp to the fore as a very promising mineral producer. The camp has already attracted the attention of prominent mining men. On the Twenty-Mile creek, Marcus Daly is developing a property known as the Nickel Plate. Forty men are engaged in sinking a shaft in arsenical iron ore. Orr Keremeos Creek, Geo. R. Naden and associates are working on a property, the ore in which carries considerable gold. In REPUBLIC CAMP in 1896 was the Republic Gold Mining Co. We were then selling this stock at 8 and 10 cents per share; today this same stock is worth $3.75 PER SHARE. A thousand shares in 1896 sold for $80 to $100; TODAY IT IS WORTH $3,750. THE BEST INVESTMENT in Republic Camp today is the ADMIRAL ��� ���_��� DEWEY GOLD MINING COMPANY. This company owns ��������� four claims, located west of the Republic properties. We are W ��� now sinking a shaft to the depth of 50 feet on the surface and it ASSAYS FROM $1.60 to $31 IN GOLD. This stock is now selling at 7 cents per share, and we predict that inside of six months thiBsame stock will sell 75 CENTS TO ONE DOLLAR PER SHARE.

The Rossland Record in a kindly mention of this paper under new management assumes that because the editor was dismissed from office by the present Government the Miner will be in opposition. This is a misconception of fact as well as of what ought to constitute the guiding principle of a newspaper. The Miner has no quarrel with the Government on personal grounds. On the other hand, notwithstanding any private grievances the editor might have, it would be prepared to support the present administration, if its general policy justified support. It may be freely admitted, too, that in some respects the Government at Victoria has merited commendation on account of its legislation, and possibly on account of Borne administrative acts. On the whole, however, the course it has pursued has met with anything but general approbation. It has been more or less a failure, and the feeling of the country for Home time has been that it could not last. The old administration in its darkest days was never so unpopular. There are several good reasons to account for failure. There was lack of political experience to begin with. Only one member of the Cabinet, the Hon. Jos. Martin, had ever had any experience at all in public affairs; and that gentleman's record had not been such as to inspire confidence in the permanency of an administration in which he was a dominant factor. He is overflowing with what has been termed mischievous energy, and has always been a disturbing element in public life. An Ottawa correspondent in a happy inspiration described him as "the stormy petrel of Canadian politics." There was, too, a lack of cohesion. In the cabinet stood two men with a common ambition to be leaders, but diametrically opposed in temperament, in method and to each other. The other members were, while personally honest and well meaning, simply passive instruments in the hands of selfish, unscrupulous, designing men of more than average ability. Nothing else under the circumstances could have transpired than has actually come to pass. A stream cannot rise higher than its source and the spectacle witnessed today of warring Cabinet Ministers in veighing against each others character holds the mirror up to nature as nothing else can. Private advices from Victoria state that the Hon. Jos. Martin has returned from Denver, Colorado, where he has been investigating Mr. Cotton's record there before coming to British Columbia, and a Vancouver correspondent states the evidence is of a most damaging character. We are therefore likely to be subjected to a long political washing day, in which a lot of very dirty linen will be exposed to public view. With amateurs at the helm of state, and the crew divided, undisciplined and mutinous, the result has been what might have been expected. We have had crude, hasty and badly digested legislation forced on the country, and a series of administrative acts lacking foresight, deliberation or guiding principle���many of them arbitrary, harsh and unjust. As stated in a previous article the Government was really not the choice of the people. It is an aggregate evolved by a series of political accidents. Dr. Mc- Kechnie is President of the Council because he represented an Island constituency opposed to the Dunsmur influence; Hume is Minister of Mines because he represented a mining constituency, and that, too, as is well known, against his own wishes; Semlin is Premier because neither Martin nor Cotton at the time was a possible leader, and he was nominally leader of the old Opposition ; Cotton and Martin represented Vancouver, the principal hotbed of Opposition, and were too able and unscrupulous to be left out. At the very outset it owed its birth and political being to a violent abuse of constitutional methods. As it was, however, if the members of even the present Government, with their palpable weaknesses, lack of experience, and unequal abilities, had gone to work with a sole view to the public interests rather than the ambitious exploitation of the opportunities for personal or political advancement, they would have won the favor of the people and succeeded. No' Government ever had a better opportunity to make a record for itself. It is, therefore, now not a question of opposition. There is really no Government to support or oppose. It was a house divided against itself and it has fallen. As at present constituted it connot survive. A general election is imminent. If Martin goes Cotton will likely go with him. They are both more or less equally responsible for the deplorable condition of things, and with the exposure of Mr. Cotton's own record which Martin is now likely to make, the verdict of the people will be that both should go. If a government can be reconstructed out of the various political elements, which is strong" enough to deal with the affairs of the country as they should be dealt with at this critical period, the Miner in its humble way will support it, irrespective of personal considerations. Or, if, in the event of a general election, such an administration can be formed out of available material, new or old, it will have the generous support of the people as a whole. They are tired of political pot- latching. We may never expect to get an incorruptible Government; but it is quite possible to have a good, business, common sense administration imbued with a proper sense of the needs and requirements of the country. Cotton's or Martin's personal quarrels or their ambitious aims are neither here nor there. It is high time to saw wood. SPOKANE INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION. WThile the Paris Exposition is un doubtedly the most important exhibition at which to be represented, yet the Fair in which the Boundary country has the greatest interest is at Spokane. It will be the one towards being represented at which the strongest effort will be made. Spokane is now the center of the mining of the Pacific Northwest, and our mining men feel more at home there, and will be classed with exhibitors belonging to a common mining fraternity, because in mining there is really no international boundary lines to consider. It will be a gathering at which all the practical mining men of the country will be represented and which to this district will be of much more immediate benefit than the exhibit at Paris, although in other respects the latter is of very great importance. At Spokane, however, we shall be in a peculiarly homelike atmosphere, and there is not the slighest doubt of it that in a huge representation of ore products from the Northwest tlie Boundary Creek district and tlie interior of B. C. will be conspicuous and unsurpassed in the excellence and great variety of their specimens. It is to this end that our people must work. We only require to be adequately represented to be easily in the lead. So far as can be ascertained, the show is going to be the best of years, and every preparation is being made to ensure success. The Miner is informed that $7,000 alone will be spent in music, the Grand Army band of Canton, O., having been engaged for the occasion. The band consists of forty pieces, and includes Nolan aud Pierce, two of the greatest cornet soloists in America. The exposition will take in fruit, stock, mining and mining machinery. Mining, however, will be a distinctive feature, and for this purpose $2,600 is being raised by citizens outside of the exhibition management altogether. A model mine is under consideration, and a 5- stamp mill will be on the ground and put on practical milling tests. The object of the directorate is understood to be that everything should be on as practical a'basis as possible. The mining machinery exhibit will no doubt be one of great interest and value, as several of the largest eastern firms will be represented with complete plants of their own manufacture. Mining men will, therefore, be able to see tho best and most modern machinery under circumstances favorable for comparison. There will also be gasoline and electric- automobiles, which will excite a great deal of interest as the coining means of locomotion. A good deal has been said about the drilling contests in relation to the terms and conditions. This is not a matter of very great interest to mine owners. It is, however, a matter of considerable interest and of some importance to the miners. The conditions as originally announced without explanation, were certainly subject to some criticism, and we think that the managers might yet modify them. Of course, it is understood that all the entrance money goes to make up the various prizes, but at the same time $100 is too much for teams that have to go, say, from Boundary or Republic. Their additional expenses will at least be $100 and very few working miners can afford $200. There are professional drillers to whom probably the conditions will not be objectionable, but it is not, or at least should not be for the benefit of professional drillers that such contests are arranged. There ought to be some arrangement whereby defeated teams who get absolutely no prizes should obtain a refund of, say, $50. Coming back to the main issue, however, there should be no pains spared to bring Boundary ores right to the very front. At the present time copper is in the ascendency and it is the opportunity we require to make our resources known. There is still considerable time yet, but as a people we should not follow the general and very bad habit of leaving everything to the last, but begin at once. GEO. F.

The folly of the Semlin government in tinkering with the Provincial police force, until it is reduced to an utterly inadequate squad of unmounted constables, has been abundantly exemplified by the recent stage robbery in the Boundary district. The criminals had not tho slightest difficulty in escaping with their booty, and their success may very possibly inspire others to imitate their example.���Vernon News. " IN GOD WE TRUBT."

Protect Yourself and Your Horses by Using Our Smelters Blown In. The American Smelting and Refining company will endeavor to reopen within a few days its smelters in Denver, Pueblo, Leadville and Durangq that have been closed since June 15 on account of the demands made by the employes for the same wages for eight hours as they have been receiving for 10 to 12 hours. The company offers the same scale of wages paid previous to the 10 per cent, reduction in 1893. An eight-hour schedule will be given the furnace men, but the men in other departments will be required to work 10 or 12 hours, as formerly. It is believed most of the other employes will accept the terms offered. The gates of the Globe smelter in Denver were thrown open Friday, the former employes being invited to return to work. Many applications were received for employment, and it was announced the sampler would resume operations and the blowing in of the furnaces begun. DR. R.

P. R. Officials. On Saturday evening last a special team brought in the C. P. R. officials, whose visit was announced in last week's issue. The party to arrive in Greenwood consisted of Wm. Whyte, General Western Manager; L. A. Hamilton, Land Commissioner; R. Marpole, Supt. of the Pacific Division ; W. F. Tye, Chief Engineer of the Columbia & Western extension, and Mr. Sullivan, Assistant Engineer. Accompanying the party was C. C. Chipman, Chief Commissioner of the Hudson's Bay Company, reference to whom is made in another column. The party was making a general tour of inspection and investigation, which included the whole of the interior system of the C. P. R. from Crow's Nest Pass to Vernon via Penticton. Undoubtedly very important matters were discussed and decided upon en route, affecting the policy of the company throughout this district, but with the reserve which usually characterizes railway men who are not yet ready to make announcements, Mr. Whyte had nothing of special importance to say to the newspaper representatives who paid their respects to him as the chief spokesman of the party. Mr. Whyte, who has a reputation among the newspaper men of the West for his urbanity and accessibility for the purpose of interviews, said they were traveling through to see the progress of the line, and to size up the situation as they went along. There was nothing to say regarding the policy of the company in regard to its plans for the future more than had already been announced to the public from time to time, and with which newspaper readers were already more or less familiar. Mr. Whyte said the company was pushing the construction of the road through as fast as possible. In respect to rates and all the other matters about which business men of the district were anxious to have information, an effort would be made to meet, as far as possible, the requirements of the people, and give satisfaction. He expressed his great pleasure at the progress the Boundary Creek District was making, and was especially pleased with the appearance of Greenwood. . It was to a large extent a surprise to him. The city as he came in struck him as well lighted, clean and busy, and the stores were almost cosmopolitan in appearance. It seemed to him to be building up very rapidly, and with a solidarity that was most promising for the future. It so happened that the smoking concert of the club in celebration of removal to new quarters was in progress upon the arrival of the party and the members were invited to attend. There was, as is stated, a very excellent program of music, songs, recitations, etc., and they were impressed with the talent that was available, and the progress which so well appointed a club seemed to indicate. On Sunday morning at ten o'clock the party left for Midway, and from there proceeded to Penticton, and on to the coast. A Poor Policy. The Grand Forks Miner remarks with some degree of pleasure, apparently, that "the transfer of their account to a local bank by the management of the Knob Hill, Old Ironsides and City of Paris mines will not help Greenwood." That is an exhibition of spirit regrettable to see in a newspaper representing what is at least looked upon as a rival town. It is the kind of thing that local papers should eschew entirely, even if the editors privately feel elated on account of it. As a matter of fact there is nothing of particular significance in the removal of the bank account in question. The Eastern Townships bank is represented at Grand Forks, and as several of the directors of the bank are also directors of the mines referred to, it is only natural that they should wish to draw grist to their own mill. The circumstance is one, however, to which the Miner evidently refers with no good intentions toward this city, thereby exhibiting very questionable taste. Two towns may be rivals or competitors, and yet their citizens, and especially their newspapers, maintain at least a semblance of good will towards each other, or at worst a dignified silence. A great many places in the past have become more or less ridiculous in the eyes of the world, because of that foolish and almost idiotic jealousy of each other, which leads their newspapers and their leading citizens to say all manner of mean and often very untruthful things about one another. That method of advertising is quite well understood nowadays, and appreciated at its true value. All sensible people on the outside despise it. It is looked upon as childish. It is to be hoped that the newspapers of the Boundary District towns, whatever private efforts they put forth to take the lead, may set an example in an expression of outward regard for each other that will reflect credit on this part of the country as a whole. Greenwood has never exhibited a spirit of ill-will towards other towns. Its citizens would regard such a feeling as an admission that rivalry was serious. They are only too pleased to observe evidences of progress in any or all of the towns or townsitea of the District, because such growth must be tributary to the growth and importance of Greenwood as the mining and commercial centre. The Okanogan Free Gold Mines. Hon. T. Mayne Daly returned on Monday from Oro where he was visiting the property of the Okanogan Free Gold Mines, Ltd. In conversation with a Miner representative ho stated that the mine was looking up well and that a 10- stamp mill had just been installed. He expressed himself as exceedingly well pleased with the prospects there. The company, he said, were making arrangements to ship the concentrates through to the Trail smelter, and thus have the benefits of the smelting on this side of the line. Questioned as to the prospects of Washington state ores along the line being treated on this side of the line he thought they were very good. For some time to corneat all events it would be much nearer to treat them at Trail than any place else. Mr. Daly said that there was a good deal of activity on Meyers creek in the vicinity of Chesaw, and he thought from the splendid showings of free milling ore in that district that there would be considerable excitement shortly. The country was a beautiful one and a visit thither would be well repaid. Mr. Daly left the same afternoon for Rossland. Back in British Columbia. S. James, Toronto, a Domion land surveyor, and one of the pioneers of the Province, is in the city. He has come west again after many years to look the country over with a view to settling himself and his family. Mr. James landed in Victoria forty years ago about this time and went up the Eraser river at the time of the excitement, and subsequently reached Cariboo, staying in the Province from 1859 to 1863. He came out to British Columbia with F J. Barnard, F. S. Barnard's father, who ran the Cariboo stage line, and still remembers with some degree of remorse the fact that he paid that gentleman $144 in freight on a theodolite from Victoria, or exactly $4 more than the instrument cost in Toronto.

GREENWOOD, - - B. C. % Friday, July 28, 1899. THE GREENWOOD MINER. h TOPICS OF THE INTERIOR. A rich strike with values in gold, silver and copper is reported from Kitchener, East Kootenay. It rumored that August Heinze is going to build a short line of railway between Sagwood and Trail, which will give direct communication between the last named place and the mines of Ymir district when developed A Grand Forks correspondent reports that a sulphur spring has been discovered on the Manly ranche, and he adds ''the health giving waters are being dispensed around town as a beverage." * What with a smelter and a good supply of sulphuretted hydrogen the people there will have a very effective reminder of the future to be avoided. There is talk of Kaslo having a smelter. The Smelter Corporation is the name of a company with a capital of ��600,000, the head office of which is to be in Kaslo, recently floated in England. It is stated upon what appears to be very good authority that the Blackstock- Gooderham syndicate has purchased a 60 per cent, interest in the St. Eugene mine at Moyie, on a basis of $150,000 for the mine. A daily mail on the Crow's Nest Pass railway is announced from Ottawa. There is considerable activity in the Lardo, Duncan and Windermere districts this season. The Marcus Daly copper combine, and other large interests are said to be interested in the Windermere country and the C. P. R. has 400 men at work on the Lardo-Dun- can line. The Kaslo and Slocan are also working on the rght of way, Republic, Wash., is excited over the attempt on the part of an "enemy" to claim the town as a part of the Indian reserve. The Indian allotting agent for the reservation is at present at Republic investigating the matter. If the claim is sustained there would be a hyas potlatch among the natives and another civil war. The Republic Miner states that this week the state wagon road down the San Poil valley from Republic to Keller and the Columbia river will be completed. It is understood that two stage lines will go on the road between Wilbur and Republic. The Miner is happy over the prospects of cheaper rates as a eonsequence. Aid. H. B. Thomson, Nelson, has tendered his resignation to the council there. Thomson, who was local manager for Turner, Beeton & Co. there, has become manager of a large syndicate operating in Cariboo, doing a general jobbing, merchandise and cattle business. The ore shipments from Rossland for the year 1899 to July 15th was 70,176 tons, and for the week ending the same date, 1,879 tons. Rossland and Nelson each gets $15,- 000 for public buildings in the supplementary estimates. 'The Nelson gas works has been started. The plant will cost $100,000. The Nelson Miner is authority for the statement that cars will be running between Nelson and Balfour before Christmas, being the first installment of the Crow's Nest line into Nelson. H. C. Hannington, son of Judge Han- nington, New Brunswick, has opened an office in Grand Forks as banister. G. A. Heisterman has also opened an office there for McDonald & Clute, Rossland. Tommy Hibbard has sold out his interest in the Victoria restaurant, Grand Forks, to H. S. Smith, the firm to be known hereafter as Dufour & Smith. The steam laundry and planing mills recently destroyed in Grand Forks by fire are to be rebuilt. The Nelson Tribune ia authority for the statement that arrangements have been completed for an exchange of traffic between the C. P. R. and the Nelson & Ft. Shepherd Railway at that point. Fort Steele is to have a branch of the Bank of Comerce, too. The Pot Hook and other copper properties near Kamloops are looking up well. Geo. Robinson, secretary of the Fair- view Corporation Mining Co., reports that President Russell is meeting with much success in the sale of stock in the east, and has about completed arrangements for the erection of a new 40 stamp mill on the Stemwinder. Great things are expected from the motor power which is being conserved at the Cascade Falls on the Kettle River. The work on the dam, to develop 5,000 horse-power is in progress. The dam as projected will be 35 feet high and 400 feet long, the work is about half done and it will take about six months to finish it. The intention is to develop and transmit electrical power for all the mines in the Boundary country. The flume is to be one quarter of a mile long, 600 feet of which will be in the nature of a tunnel through solid rock. The power house will be a solid structure of stone and brick at the fopt of the walls. The poles for the electric current are already erected to Wellington camp. R. A. Brown has started work on the the Volcanic, which is again his individual property, and he feels confident that the big tunnel he is driving tc cut the lead at a depth of over 1,000 feet will encounter the ore body within the next few weeks. The Vernon & Nelson Telephone Co. keeps improving its facilities for the transaction of business. It has completed its third metallic circuit between Rossland and Spokone. Nelson city council has decided to spend $10,000 in improving its electric light system. Spokane and the Drillers- Two weeks ago the Miner took occasion to criticize the proposals for a rock drilling contest for miners, sent out by the mining department of the Spokane Industrial Fair. Touching the matter we have the following letter from Mr. DeLashmutt: Spokane, Wash., July 18, 1899. The purses offered by the Industrial Fair required six full entries, all over the six will be added to the purse, hence the purses may each amount to more than a thousand dollars The posters sent out were not clear upon this point and hence the misunderstanding; however, we are authorized to state that the above is correct. Trusting that this explanation will be entirely satisfactory and that it will meet with your hearty endorsement and that you will be here in person, I am, Very truly yours, Van B. DeLashmutt, Chairman of Committee. The Miner has taken occasion to inform itself on this point by inquiring of Mr. Casey, superintendent of the Republic mine, and other practical men in thiscamp. Without exception they think $100 too much. A better sum would be $50. This would be $25 per man. It should be remembered tnat the miners are a notoriously liberal class of men. They give away about all they make and they do not carry a surplus amount of cash. These rock drilling contests are incidental in their lives. They are not following the business like a profession such as horseracing.���Republic Miner. W. B. PATON & CO., Mining and Share Brokers. REAL ESTATE AGENTS. Head Office of Camp McKinney Gold M. & M.

THE MART GAUNCE & WICKWIKE. GREENWOOD, B. C, THE GREENWOOD MINES. Friday, July 28, 1899. PHOENIX. Notwithstanding the progress of the place the people here still refer to Greenwood as "down town." There are between 25 and 30 new houses being built. The number is pretty evenly divided between the upper and lower and center parts of the town. Henry Nash is building an addition to the Phoenix hotel to be used as a bar room. Messrs. Postey and Bird are going to start another store just alongside the hotel. The building for the purpose is already under way, and will probably be opened in about two or three weeks from now. , Major Ross advertised a lecture at the hotel Phoenix on Saturday last, his subject being the "Prospector from Huckleberry Creek" or the "grubstake that didn't fetch." Upon arrival the Major didn't think the conditions altogether favorable for a good hearing and refused to give the lecture as ahnounced. The Broooklyn and Stemwinder are closed down, and the local manager could give no news as to whether or how soon they will open up again. A very neat cottage is being built for the superintendent, which looks as though it was not the intention to wait until the eight-hour law is repealed before resuming operations. The party of eastern capitalists who are mainly directors and shareholders in the Knob Hill and Ironsides mines have been here examining their properties and are very much pleased with the showings and prospects of not only their own mines but those throughout the whole of the Boundary country. The party includes S. H. C. Miner, his wife and Miss Miner, of Granby, Que., E. M. Carroll and wife, of New York; A. L. White, Montreal, secretary of the company ; G. Stevens, Waterloo, director of the Eastern Townships Bank; E. A. Naughten, of Huntington, Que. The beginning of a waterworks system has been inaugurated and the Phoenix hotel had water turned on for the first time on Saturday afternoon. The water is conveyed at present in a small iron pipe from a creek above the town, but it is the intention to tap a small lake with a good water supply and put in a six-inch main next summer. The pipe at present in will supply most of the houses in the lower part of the town. This is the enterprise of Mr. Rumberger, the owner of the townsite. The question of placing Phoenix on tho market is still unsettled. The lower part of the town is owned by Mr. Rumberger and the upper by the Ironsides Co. It is probable, however, that both will be platted very shortly. There are no less than three barber shops and laundries in operation. Missionary services are held every Wednesday evening. Fischer's sawmill near here is doing a night and day business and finds the demand greater than the ability to supply lumber fast enough. Sunset Mine. This property which has recently been handed over to the Montreal and Boundary Creek Co., is about to commence operations on an extensive scale. $125,- 000 is already in the treasury for equipping the mine with machinery and developing it. A twenty-drill compressor plant has been ordered from Jas. D. Sword, the British Columbia agent of the James Cooper Mfg. Co., of Montreal. The compressor will be a compound machine of the Ingersoll-Sargeant type. A HAVE JUST RECEIVED tif A Full Carload Of Windows and Doors; also a complete line of builders' hardware, paints and oils.

Bunk houses and boarding houses will be erectd for the miners and suitable residences for both the manager, Mr. Macfarlane and the superintendent. Mr. Johns, at present superintendent of the Mother Lode mine, will take charge of the mine, and superintend the erection of the plant, which will be here in about ten weeks. The spur of the Canadian Pacific, which taps this property, the Mother Lode, and adjacent properties, passes within 100 feet of the site of the new shaft. The shaft will be a two-compartment, with provision for another compartment, and will be continued to the 1,000-foot level. There is already a large body of ore, that will average $18 in gold and copper, available. The company realize that they have the prospects of an immense mine, and will actively develop the property until they are able to make a large and regular daily output. Messrs. Cox, Jaffray and MacKenzie, the eastern capitalists, who are heavily interested in this part of the Province, are expected to arrive in Greenwood today or to-morrow.

Removal to New Quarters Celebrated by a Smoking Concert. Last Saturday arrangements were completed for the removal of the Club furniture to new premises on the third floor of the Rendell block, which will be wholly occupied for that purpose. It is not completely furnished, but will be in the course of a few days, or otherwise as soon as the railway gets in to bring the billiard tables. The apartments of the Club will consist of: A reading room, facing Copper street; a sitting room, facing Copper and Greenwood; a billiard room with three tables; i. barroom, and offices, etc., etc. The Club room will be lighted by electricity and have electric calls. The carpets and furniture are all of the best, and the premises, when fully in order, will compare favorably in appointments with any similar institution in British Columbia. There are at the present time 80 members. The officers recently elected are: F.J. Finucane, president; Clive Prin- gle, vice president; A.Ferguson, secretary, and a committee of management. It was decided to mark the first stage in the Club's career, that of moving into new and more sumptuous quarters, in some special manner, and a smoking concert was considered the most fitting. The president, who filled the chair and acted as host to a very large number present, both visitors and members, announced that there was a good deal of talent in Greenwood, and the program as executed more than confirmed his statement. Every person present was highly pleased with the entertainment. Detailed reference to the various numbers would require too much space. In brief, those who took part were: The Mandolin Society composed of R. Stuart, A. Murray, H. R. Elliott, C. M. Arnold, and J. E. Hooper, accompanist; songs by A. G. Sihipson, W. W. Howe, F. J. Finucane, J. E. Hooper, and recitations by A. T. Short, manager of the Bank of a. N. A., and a banjo selection by C. M. Arnold. Each of the foregoing gave several selections, and in each case was recalled. The program was one of genuine merit throughout. Congress of Boards of Trade at Rossland. On the third of August the much talked of Congress of Boards of Trade of Kootenay and Boundary will be held in Rossland. Delegates have been appointed by the various Boards of Trade and bodies of a similar nature, and the subject for discussion will cover a wide field, and include nearly all those things of special interest to the Interior. The original delegates from Greenwood were J. H. McMillan, Rossland, and Clive Pringlci, barrister. The latter gentleman will be unable to attend and Duncan Rosb, of the Boundary Creek Times, will go in his stead. It has been decided that the delegates from (Tie Boundary district should have a preliminary meeting the evening before, in order that they may arrive at some sort of understanding among thomselves. The Cascade delegates are S. Mayall and V. Monnier. It is not known who the Grand Forks delegates are, if any one. Among the subjects to be discussed will be the eight-hour law ; the silver-lead industry; increased representation of the southern Interior of British Columbia, in the Dominion House of Commons; more liberal appropriations for the development of the various districts represented; the mining laws; the representation of British Columbia minerals at the Paris Exposition; educational facilities; the rectification of the political boundaries so as to afford separate representation in the local House for Boundary; a complete set of government offices for the Boundary District, including facilities for the holding of Supreme Court Sittings somewhere within its limits. Doubtless there will be other matters brought up, but so far as Boundary is concerned, the foregoing are of main interest. ROSSLAND WEEKLY REVIEW. (Special Correspondence Miner.) So far this year, that is to say up to July 25, there have been shipped from Rossland mines about 47,000 tons of ore. (The figures are approximate.) The value of this ore is a matter on which there must be a difference of opinion, since the value per ton depends wholly upon smelter returns, and these have only been furnished in part. If every ton of ore shipped as above stated be valued at $18, the estimate is likely to be near the mark. This gives a valuation of $1,332,000. I shall be happy to raise these figures when competent authority furnishes better data than I have yet seen on this subject. As may be inferred the holiday season is not the time for a lively market in mining stocks. The market is flat, not only for this reason, but for other causes. The list of shipping mines has not been increased since the Centre Star was added to the producers, making four in all, viz, Le Roi, War Eagle, Iron Mask and Centre Star. In expectation are the Columbia and Kootenay, the Sunset, No 2, White Bear and Josle, and unless these be soon added to the list of shippers, I am at a loss to find where the additions are to come from. If the stoclr market should continue flat, it will be (Jue to the fact that strikes and new shippers are not coming to the front as they ought to be. It is production which measures the prosperity of this trade. The most encouraging feature worthy of note is the advance being made by the C. P. R. throughout this section��� the extension of its system, and the facilities which it is furnishing to our mines and smelters to handle the ores. Another fact, too, worthy of mention, is that recently an attempt was made by the boomster element to bull the London evening stock market with, as we all now know, fatal results. This slump has materially affected the prospects of this portion of Kootenay, and it will take some time for the market to recover. �� * * No Coalition in His. Price Ellison, representative for the Vernon district, has been to the Coast and returned with strong views on the political situation. He is personally strongly opposed to coalition with any faction of the Government party, and thinks in a general election the old party will win out. He is going to stand exactly on the issues upon which he was elected. Moreover, he is opposed to the introduction of Dominion party politics in Provincial affairs, and is firmly convinced that the present is a most inopportune time for such a movement. He considers that it would needlessly complicate the situation to dovetail B. C. affairs with Dominion issues, and it would be unfair to the people of this Province, who desire to see an untrammelled and representative government formed, to do so. The Miner is prepared to do all kinds of job work. Below Bank Commerce. c^<Vonronmronrro^^ SUPERIOR LINE OF CIGARS. MORENA, Brands: \ INTERIOR and MINER. Made by INLAND CIGAR MFG. CO. of Kamloops.B.

THE BEST WORKMEN, THE BEST OUTFIT, For Turning Out tlie Neatest and Most UP-TO-DATE JOB WORK Details of the extraordinarily rich strike that has been made on the Gold Bug are at hand and confirm the first reports that have been published in regard to this property. The Gold Bug was located about six years ago by D. A. Holbrook, of Boundary City, and was recently acquired by the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling Co., the principal owners in which are Holbrook, Harris and Baker of London, and Hector McRae of Rossland. It is located about two miles from Greenwood in Deadwood camp, west of the Mother Lode. About a month ago work was started under the direction of Alexander Sharp, late superintendent of the Columbia and Kootenay, Rossland, and a shaft waB sunk from the surface, seven men being employed. Eight feet from the surface very rich, and rather remarkable ore was struck, in a vein two feet wide. The ore consists of galena ore and quartz side by side. The quartz is simply studded with free silver and assays from $200 to $300 in gold, with values in copper as well. The samples seen by the Miner representative show both silver and gold in the quartz, and are really remarkable specimens. At the depth of eight feet, the vein as already stated, was two feet in width. The shaft is now down to the depth of thirty feet, and the width has gradually increased to three and a half feet, with the same kind of ore throughout. The values in the shaft alone are very considerable, and if the width and general character of ore are maintained, the Gold Bug will be one of the biggest mines in the camp. Bears Plentiful. A good bear story is relished by the public, but the Miner is advised on no less authority than the Rev. Mr. Balder- ston, that a newspaper takes considerable risk in respect to general reputation, by publishing two in succession. In the interests of truth, however, it is necessary to say that on Saturday evening last one was seen on the road from Pnoenix, which kept company at a respectful distance with two pedestrians, for about half a mile, and then crossed the road and went down hill. Mr. James, the hero of last week's bear story, has informed the Miner that two very large cinnamons visited his partner's cabin in Wellington Camp the other day. Gone to Similkameen. W. Y. Williams, general superintendent of the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill consolidation, whose headquarters, heretofore, have been at Rossland, was in town to-day, and left at 1 p. m. for Similkameen, where he will be for several days. He says that another contingent of the shareholders, from Philadelphia, intend coming in to Boundary later on to see the properties. Mr. Williams says that the members of the company already here are so well pleased In The THE BOUNDARY DISTRICT. GREENWOOD ��� MINER PRINTING CO.
