OjOLA. i THE GREENWOOD MINER. Vol. 1, No. 44. GREENWOOD, B. C, FRIDAY, DEC. 1, J899. $2.00 Per Year. CONTRACTS ALL LET For Electric Lighting of Creen- wood City Within Ninety Days���The Plant for Its Size Will Be the Best Money Can Buy. All the preliminaries in connection with the electric light plant for Greenwood have been arranged. The by-law has been finally passed, the agreement between the city and company signed and the contract let for the plant. Geo. C. Hinton, of Hinton & Co., electricians, Vancouver and Victoria, representing the Royal Electric Co., Montreal, has secured the contract for the electrical plant in connection, as follows: One 150 kilowatt, 2000, volt2-phase 5'SK C" inductor type generator, 3000 light capacity, complete with all equipments; and all the material, insulators, pins and supplies. The generator, switchboard and instruments are of the very latest and most improved pattern. As promised by Duncan Mcintosh, the entire plant is the best that can be had for the money and the most modern. It will cost about $20,000.00; and is all ready to ship, so that it will, barring accident, be installed well within the ninety days. W. P. Dickson, Nelson, has been appointed engineer in charge of the instalation. a large city. It will be opened Thanksgiving by a dance and will accommodate about 60 guests. K is very much needed as at present there is not one half enough accommodation for the traveling public. The past week the town has been full and beds at $1 each could not be had. Every night the stages are loaded both from Oro and Rock Creek, to say nothing of the crowds coming through from Republic and two or three more hotels are needed. Word has been received from Washington to the effect that the reservation is to be thrown open for settlement in January and already land hunters are thick looking over the land west of Chesaw before the snow falls, so as to be ready to make the rush, opening day. There is about twenty miles square of good farming land tributary to Chesaw, which when settled up will mean plenty of business for the town which is the natural distributing point for the whole district. There are now working within from 1 to 5 miles of Chesaw, at the mines as follows: Crystal Butte mine 35 men Crystal Butte saw mill 10 " Waldron's saw mill 10 " Independence mine (i ���' Wisconsin mine 16 " War Eagle mine 20 " Review mine 20 " O. K. mine 6 " Ben Wharton mine 6 " Buckhorn mine 12 " CopperQueen mine 20 " North Star mine 0 " Poland China mine 15 " Besides there are many other smaller properties that are working from two to four men. COMING 150 STRONG A Body of Representative Men of the Province. Under Auspices of C. P. R. Coming To Greenwood, and Will Own the Town for Twenty-Four Hours. CHESAW DOINGS. Last week J. D. Sword, of Rossland, representing Montreal capital, bonded the Poland China group of claims on the head of Mary Ann Creek, from Messrs. Nadem & Hawkins, the original prospectors. The exact amount of the bonds is not known, but it is in the neighborhood of $30,000.00. This week they are building big bunk houses, cabins, blacksmith shop, etc., aud are getting ready to work about 20 men all winter. Geo. B. Mechem, of Fairbanks Cameron & Co., of Montreal, has purchased from James P. Blaine, assayer, Chesaw, the Anaconda group, consisting of six claims, lyin^ north and east of the Poland China and close to the War Eagle and Wisconsin groups that are now attracting so much attention. Hehasalso purchased the Chesaw group from Don Cameron and the Australian group from W. L. Clark, being altogether sixteen claims. This last named group lies between the Wisconsin group and the Canadian boundary line, and practically takes in all the ground lying between the Poland Cbina on the west, the Wisconsin on the east, and clear up to the international line. On all of the above lot of claims there are good surface showings, and it is the intention of the purchasers to fully prospect and secure the rich lead that runs north-west through the War Eagle and Wisconsin properties. E. H. Barker has just received four large six team loads of furniture for his new hotel. The furniture was shipped from Seattle to Bruster and freighted from there by team. The hotel will be first class and furnished equal to any in The RoU of Visitors. Among those who have registered in the city during the week are: J. M. Chadbourne, Nelson; J. D. Underbill, New York; J. M. Holland, Camp McKinney; F. W. Rolt, Rossland; E. Bernard, Republic; P. J. Hickey, Sandon; Dr. J. S. Konklin, Winnipeg; J. W. Wey. Victoria; Dr. W. S. Hoyles, Trail; D. Simpson, Winnipeg; R. Stevenson, Princeton; P. Genelle, Rossland; J. E. Poupore, Nelson; Geo. H. Spores, Spores, Cal.; L. B. Luther, Ainsworth ; Alex McDonald, Butte; W. D. Easton, Armstrong ; A. R.

Hunter, Silverton: A. McF. Allan, R. E. H. Mannsell, Calgary, N. V. T. Rev. W .A. Robins, M. A., has ar rived in Greenwood, having come to take up the work of the Church of England inaugurated here about a year ago by Ven. Archdeacon Pentreath [under the name of St. Judes Mission. Mr. Robins was educated at Malborough and Trinity College, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1891; and afterwards took a course at Well's Theological College. Since his ordination, he worked six years as one of the staff of the clergy o- St. Marys, Redcliffe, Bristol, a large town parish in the heart of the working classes of that city. He hopes to hold the first services on Sunday next at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p. m, Mrs. Foreman's Hall, Government street. After the evening service a meeting will be held for the purpose of electing a church committee and forming some definite organization, to which all those who care to identify themselves with the Church of Kugland are invited to be present. F. J. Finucane, manager of the Bank of Montreal, on Tuesday received word from F. W. Peters, C. P. R. district freight agent, Nelson, stating that a large excursion of representative men of the Province would visit Greenwood on the 7th. There will be four tourist cars to carry the party, in all it is anticipated about 125 persons, largely representing various Boards of Trades. Concerning the excursion the Nelson Miner says: "The Nelson contingent will leave here at 7 o'clock on the morning of December 7th, and will be joined by the representatives from Kaslo, Sandon, New Denver, etc. Special trains will be run from Vancouver, carrying the Victoria, Vancouver, Westminster, Nanaimo, and the rest of ths Coast contingent.' The good people of Grand Forks, Columbia, Greenwood, and Phcenix are preparing to give the visitors a warm welcome, and with Mr. Peters chaperoning the X>arty the trip will doubtless be made as interesting as possible." A meeting was called by Mr. Finucane in the club on Wednesday evening for the purpose of considering the ways and means of entertaining the party upon their arrival. It was decided to tender them a banquet on the evening of the 7th of December, and to show them all the courtesies possible. Committees were appointed for the purpose, and a subscription list was opened to defray expenses. Three hundred and fifty dollars was subscribed by those present, One of Greenwood's industries, which has steadily advanced since it started in August of 1898, is the Elkhorn Brewery. It has a capacity of about 20 barrels a day of lager, and has brewed on an average of i>M ween 80 and 100barrels per week since that time. The plant consists of four large lager barrels, and four small ones, and seven large fermenting casks. It is contemplated to put in four more large casks, giving a total capacity of 560 barrels. The Elkhorn beer has given good satisfaction from the outset, and it is used in every hotel but one in tho city, while a good outside trade is being done. Alex Sharpe, for some time manager of the Gold Bug, Providence camp, has resigned his position and returns to Rossland as superintendent of the Iron Colt, at a very considerable advance in salary. Mr. Sharpe ban had charge of the development of the Gold Bug from the start, and his success in that capacity has not been without appreciation. The Hotel Norden, Carl Nelson & Andrew Sater, proprietors, has been opened for business, on Copper street near Deadwood. This hotel is substantially built, and well appointed throughout. Owing to the proprietors being so long and favorably known here, they anticipate a good business. The Miners' Union gave a ball last evening in Rendell's hall. J. Harlan, one of the old-timers of this district, has returned from Manila, where he was doing service as a Sargent in the South Dakota regiment; and is in the city. He appeared in his full regimentals. He says the war is practically over, being continued by disconnected bands of marauders. Aguin- aldo is an exile. H. D. Gilmour, Vancouver, representing the Waterous Engine Co., Brant- ford, Ont., has secured the contract for engine and boilers, as follows: one "18x18" McEwen high speed automatic engine of the very best pattern; three 80-horse power boilers; two pumps and all fittings neces sary. S. F. Holbrook, Minneapolis, father of D. A. Holbrook, real estate and mining broker, arrived in Greenwood on Tuesday, on a visit to his sons. He came out to the west when Minnesota was in the frontier stage. E. J. Coyle, C. P. R. district passenger agent, Vancouver, and W. F Anderson, travelling passenger agent, Nelson, were in town this week. Mr. Coyle was astonished at the progress Greenwood had made since his last visit a year ago. H. A. King & Co., news agents, stationers, etc., bave made a large addition to the rear of their present store, in order to accommodate their increasing business, and have greatly enlarged their stock. Ab showing the commercial importance of this city, the customs collection for the month was $8,500. The C. P. R. freight receipts approximate $60,000, and the passenger receipts $100 a day. I. W. Hallett, police magistrate, has received six weeks leave of absence from the council, and intends leaving about the 10th of this month for a trip to his old home in New Brunswick. Captain Haas, and a detachment of Salvation Army soldiers, arrived last week in Greenwood, and the Salvation Army work in the Boundary was duly inaugurated. At the adjourned meeting of the Liberal Association Wednesday evening, the constitution framed by the committee appointed for the purpose was adopted. A hot air furnace has been placed in the Methodist Church this week. The furnace was manufactured by Clare Bros, Preston, Ontario. Rev. B. II. Balderston will preach in the Methodist church on Sunday at 11 in the morning and at 7:30 in the evening. Mrs. Schon, wife of Dr. Schon, and family, Ver.ion, arrived this week and have taken up their residence in Greenwood. The completed voters' list of Greenwood shows 168 votes in the north war J, and 213 in the south ward, 381 in all. G. A. Jordan, late police magistrate, Rossland, Lis been in the city for several days on business. The next sitting of the County Court in Greenwo id is fixed for the 22nd of January next. J. II. Morrison has gone to California to spend the winter. W. T. Smith has gone to Montreal. THE GREENWOOD MINER Friday Dec. 1, 1899. A GREAT ORE BELT Properties in Deadwood Camp Described Interestingly in the Toronto World By Its Special Mining Correspondent���Basis of an Interesting Theory. Frank D. L. Smith, of the Toronto World, has an interesting letter in that paper of Nov. 18th, regarding Deadwood Camp, from which some extracts are aken. During my previous stay in Greenwood I visited Deadwood Camp, which lies within two or three miles westerly from the city limits, and afterwards wrote a letter descriptive of the Mother Lode and Morrison Mines. Since then in behalf of those interested in the Sunset, Buckhorn, Iron Top and Arlington- Burns groups, I have inspected these properties, and below I submit to the World readers a report of what I saw upon them. "At the outset, I may say that, judging from present indications, Deadwood and South Deadwood camps boast some of the most exclusive ore bodies to be found in the whole Boundary Creek country. As already indicated, the two camps lie almost within sight of the town, being divided by a stream known as Copper Creek. "Rich copper ore has been discovered over a wide area in the two camps, and one argument to be brought out in this article is that both lie on one side and the same grade mineral belt. This theory has been enunciated by Mr. E. A. Bielenberg, one of the largest and most successful individual operators in this district, and it seems to be borne out by existing conditions so far as these have been ascertained, and so far as I myself was able to look into them. One Great Mineral Belt. "As far as is known, the general characteristics of this belt are that it has a general northerly and southerly trend with an easterly dip; that where found in Deadwood Camp propor it appears to be about 2000 feet wide, and that after crossing into Deadwood Camp south it seems to spread out into lateral proportions of something like 3000 feet. The Mother Lode and Sunset groups lie side by side upon the northerly end of this belt, and the Iron Top, Arlington-Burns and Buckhorn properties occupy the southerly half of it. "The country rock in this portion of the district is classed as diorite, and the Deadwood mineral belt may be described as including a series of alternate zones of calcite, lime quartz and magnetic iron. These zones, which are divided by dykes of porphyry and bands of country rock, and in which garnets and hornblende appear, constitute the gangue of the deposits and, while all are more or less mineralized, they carry the pay ore in chutes. The ore is impregnated with chalcopyrites and iron pyrites, the chief values being in copper and gold. The grade of the ore varies, but it seems to increase with depth. Basis of an Interesting Theory. "To start with the northern end of the belt in Deadwood Camp, it is to be recalled that the Mother Lode and Sun- Bet groups are found here side by side. "The Mother Lode proposition has already been described in this series of letters, and I may again note certain facts concerning it. The company is developing one of the ore zones spoken of as constituting the general belt. The particular zone in question has been opened up by a surface tunnel and winze with a 300-foot shaft and 800 feet drifts and crosscuts. The tunnel, which crosscuts the deposit only a few feet below the surface, proves a width of 160 feet of ore. The winze and shaft make certain a depth of 300 feet, and the long drifts already run have completed the blocking out of a body of ore 800 feet long. At the surface the ore ran very low in value but it has improved with depth ; 200 feet down some $50 values have been gotten, and at the bottom of the 300-foot shaft rock running from $60 to $70 to the ton has been taken out. The Mother Lode petple claim an average value of $15 to the ton in gold and copper for much of the ore blocked out. By the way, I understand that the stock of the British Columbia Copper Company, which owns the Mother Lode, is quoted in New York at $12 or $15 per five-dollar shares. On The Sunset Group. "Leaving the Mother Lode, I will turn to the Sunset Group, which occupies the eastern portion of the northern end of the Deadwood Camp mineral belt. The Sunset Group comprises four locations, namely: the Sunset, Crown Silver, C. 0. D. and Florence Fraction, nearly 100 acres in all, belonging to the Montreal Boundary Creek Mining Company, oi which the Hon. A. W. Ogilvie is president and W. L. Hogg of Montreal, one of the largest shareholders, the capitalization being $2,000,000. "As far as surface indications go, the Sunset Group appears to boast of at least three of the ore zones already described as constituting a portion of the general mineralized belt characteristic of this part of the Boundary Creek distrfct. These zones run parallel to the Mother Lode zone, that is to say, north and south, and development work is being carried on upon two of them. One of these bands occurs upon the Crown Silver location and the other upon the Sunset claim proper, the former having been proven by surface exploration to be between 75 and 100 feet wide and the latter 150 feet across. Both of the minor belts carry chalcopyrites and iron pyrites in a gangue of calcite and magnetic iron, and in places chutes of considerable richness are found. The crown Silver zone, for instance, shows almost upon the surface more or less ore that would pay to ship. I followed this particular deposit for some distance and saw considerable promising ore. ThsBelt in South Deadwood. "From the Mother Lode property and Sunset Group the mineral belt upon which these properties lie, in a southerly direction, down the hillside towards Copper Creek, across that stream and up an elevation, which characterizes the topography of South Deadwood Camp, and thus onto the Iron Top, Arlington- Burns and Buckhorn groups of properties. This theory,"as before stated, is based on the ascertained trend of the belt on the Mother Lode and Sunset, on the fact that heavy mineral float is found along Copper Creek, and on the further fact that the country formation in Deadwood and South Deadwood Camps is identical. In this formation moreover, there has been proven by surface exploration to exist a mineralized zone some 3000 feet in width. The explanation given for the broadening out of the belt, which measures only 2000 feet laterally in Main Deadwood Camp, it runs up against a hill of very hard formation, which has swung it round its due southerly course and caused it to spread out somewhat in the shape of a fan. In this belt, just as on the Mother Lode and Sunset, there appear to occur parallel zones of rock more highly mineralized than the rest. In other words, while the whole belt on the surface carries more or less evidence of iron, copper and gold, thero are certain strips of it which are more heavily impregnated than other portions. Alternate bands of calcite, quartz and magnetic iron, carrying gold and copper values, occur sandwiched between parts of the belt, consisting of country rock of a basic character. In South Deadwood, as well as Deadwood Camp copper, also are to be found dykes of porphyry, which distinctly divide the different ore zones. "The chief properties in South Dead- wood Camp on which this belt occurs belong to Mr. E. A. Bielenberg or the "Count," as his personality has caused him to be popularly and aptly known, and to parties whom he has interested in them. The Iron Top group and the Arlington-Burns group are owned by him, and on these he has spent something like $20,000 in prospecting and development work.

( ' Friday, Dec. 1, 1899. THE GREENWOOD MINER. PICKED SPECIMENS. r:fr ?���������������������������������������* Disraeli, it is said, laughed only once in the House of Commons. Gladstone had made an impassioned speech in favor of the union of Wallechia and Moldavia. Disraeli pointed out that the result would be the. extinction of the independence of these people, and the only thing left would be the remorse "which would be painted with admirable eloquence by the rhetorician of the day." In reply, Mr. Gladstone said that he would not be guilty of the effected modesty of pretending to be ignorant that the designation, the "rhetorician of the day," was intended for himself. Mr. Disraeli interrupted with the remark: " I beg your pardon ; I really did not mean that." Gladstone's face expressed amazement and indignation, and Disraeli sat down with a satisfied smile that told of his enjoyment. Ladysmith is called after the wife of Sir Harry Smith, formerly commanding general in South Africa. She was a Spanish girl, to whom the general gave protection, when he was a subaltern in the Peninsular War, and who subsequently married him. Harrismith is named after her husband. Captain Earnest Andree, of Sweden, brother of the missing explorer, in a letter to a friend in Mobile, shows that he has by no means given up hope of the explorer's safe return. The baloon, he thinks, may have come down in the. unexplored region north of Alaska and the Parry Islands, from the remote parts of which a journey to these islands might consume two years, while another year might be added before a traveler following that route could communicate with civilization. "Jones called up his first wife at the seance last night, and what do you think he said to her?" said Smith. "Goodness knows," repliedBrown. "Heasked her if she would give his second wife her receipt for mincemeat."���Pick-Me-Up. Sunday-school Superintendent (pointing a moral): "Yes, scholars, thegreat thing is to know one's duty and then do it. Admiral Dewey knew his duty when he entered Manila Bay and saw the Spanish ships, and the world has seen how nobly he performed it. Now, children, what is our duty in this bright holiday season?

MATHISON DENTIST : : : NADEN BLOCK: GREENWOOD : Graduate Pennsylvania College of Dental - - Surgery ----- Philadelphia, Pa.- - A Licentiate of British Columbia- - - - - Greenwood will Rival Rossland in Two Years. Mr. James C. Sword, M. E., returned Iriday night from an extended business trip in the interests of his principals, the James Cooper Manufacturing company, in the Boundary Creek district. He reports that business of all kinds is unusually good, particularly in the Greenwood district, Greenwood, while not showing the phenomenal growth of Rossland in 1890 and 1897, bids fair to rival it within the next two years. That the mining interest is growing there, is shown by the fact that two 20-drill compressor plants are being installed, and within the next four months two 40-drill plants will also be erected, besides tlie erection of two 500-ton (per diem) smelting plants. Both of these smelters will be in operation before the end of May, and judging from the reports of the mine superintendents there will be sufficient ore to keep them running steadily.���Rossland Miner.

There is no political matter at the preient time more important than this one of representation, both Provincial and Dominion. Everybody now admits that it was a mistake to have tacked on the Boundary to the Rossland riding, and we agree with our contemporary that the time has arrived when the mistake should be remedied. It is to be hoped that at the next session of parli- ment a measure will be introduced giving the Boundary country separate representation. There is no reason why this should not be done. There can be no excuse for longer delay in the matter. There is still the other matter to which reference was made in the Miner a short time ago. We referto increased representation for the Yale-Kootenay District in the House of Commons. From what appears to be the view at present taken it will be 1904 or 1905 before, as the result of the next census-taking, the enormous territory now represented by Hewitt Bostock M. P. can be divided. In the meantime another election will have been held and the present anomalous coadition of things continued for four years longer. If the B. N. A. Act will not admit of a change being made sooner, and evidently it does not, then there is only one of two ways out of the difficulty���either to amend the B. N. A. Act without delay or to so adjust the representation for the whole Province as to give the Yale-Kootenay Riding another member. By virtue of its relative importance it should have three members instead of one. GET ON THE VOTERS' LIST, There is a large population in the Boundary country that is either registered in other parts of the Province, or not on the lists at all. It is in the interests of each resident, entitled to vote, and in the interests of the district that he should be registered as a voter. Elections are imminent both in the Dominion and Province. The Dominion lists are made up from the provincial lists, and, therefore, the importance of getting on as a voter for the Province is manifest. The city clerk is authorized and especially employed in this connection. He has the necessary forms of ap plication. Those who are on the lists elsewhere should write to have their names struck off, and make application here. TO VISIT GREENWOOD. As is announced elsewhere about 125 or 150 representative citizens of the Province, through the courtesy of the C. P. R., will visit Greenwood on the 7th inst. Arrangements are being made to give them a right |royal welcome; and as their presence will be of interest to nearly every person in tlie city, all should feel interested in contributing to their entertainment. AVhile in Greenwood they should be the guests of Greenwood The proposed excursion is another indication of the deep interest which attaches to Boundary country, and is a recognition by citizens of the Province of the importance of its mineral resources and trade development. WESTERN EXTENSION. As was pointed out in the Miner a short time ago, while no official presentment or hint has been given of the intention of the C. P. R. as to the extension of the line westward from Midway, everything would seem to indicate that construction will be continued by way of Keremeos and Princeton, to the main line at Spence's Bridge, without unnecessary delay. This will virtually make the Columbia & Western part of the main line. It will in all probability depend upon a subsidy being obtained at next session of Parliament. The completion of the short line would be of great advantage to this section in bringing it in direct connection with the Coast. Reference is made elsewhere to a chart of the judges of the Supreme Court of Vancouver Island and British Columbia, which has been compiled and presented by the Hon. Mr. Justice Martin to the Law Society of British Columbia, and ordered by the Benchers to be published with the law reports. This is a valuable historical chart, and evidences the careful research of a historian in its compilation. The learned Judge has spared no pains in obtaining original data, and his record of the courts will in the future be useful for reference, and has the credit of being exact and authentic. The Hon. Justice Martin is the author of other works, principally "The Hudson Bay Co's Tenures," a recently published volume. The Nelson and Boundary MaU Service. Rossland is distant say 130 miles from Greenwood. Nelson is distant say 120 miles from Greenwood. A Canadian Pacific train leaves Rossland for Greenwood every morning, except Sunday, at 7 o'clock, arriving at Greenwood at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. A Canadian Pacilic train leaves Nelson for Greenwood every morning, except Sunday, at 7 :10 oclock, arriving at Greenwood at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The train from Rossland carries the mail.

Mr. Alexander Sharp is in the city from Deadwood camp, where he is superintending the properties of the Boundary Creek Mining & Milling company. He says that operations at present are confined to the Gold Bug claim, and from this two car loads of ore of a high grade were recently shipped to the smelter. It is Mr. Sharp's opinion that this ore will prove of a higher grade than any sent to Trail. Ore of a similar character, he says, took the first prize, which consisted of a gold medal, at the Spokane fair and the competitors came from the mines of British Columbia, Idaho and Washington. The shaft on the Gold Bug has reached a depth of 100 feet and croescutting towards the ledge is in progress. Mr. Sharp says he expects to meet the ledge in his crosscut towards the end of the month. Ten men are employed. Mr. Sharp will leave for Deadwood on Monday next.���Rossland Miner. THE TROUBLE IS ENDED. Republic Shipments Now Right. Go Through all cleared away by the D. S. customs officials and that machinery for the Mountain Lion mill at Republic is going through without hinderance. A telegram came early in the week giving permission for the transit of Republic freight from the Grand Forks depot and ever since that there has been a siring of wagons coming to be loaded with machinery. It is said the Mountain Lion machinery of which there are nearly half a million pounds is scattered all the way from here to Republic.���Grand Forks Miner. Disappointed in Boundary. The Nelson Tribune has this to say : ���'R F. Tolmie, secretary of the Silver- Lead Minus Association of Sandon, was in the Boundary last week trying to induce the mine owners in that prosperous section of the province to go on a strike in sympathy with the members of his association. He met with no encouragement, and is now in Nelson lamenting his luck in being connected with so unpopular an organization. The Miner is able to announce that all difficulties heretofore existing in the way of shipping goods in bond over the C. P. R. for Republic have been satisfactorily The Shipping Era. Major Leckie announces that about December 1, the 15. C. mine will commence making regular shipments to the Trail smelter, where very low rates have been made to handle the ore. The event will mark the beginning of a new era in the rich Boundary country, as the B. C. will become the first regular shipper, thereby making the region an actual producer.���Republic Miner. The Mountain View Bonded. John Dorsey has bonded the Mountain View in Summit camp for $25,000. It is an old location, and adjoins the B. C. mine, There is a 30-foot tunnel and a number of open cuts on the property. A series of assays gave values' of $11.30 per ton in gold and copper. Development work is now in progress. Chart of the Judges. His Lordship Mr. Justice Martin of j the supreme court has compiled "a chart I of the judges of the supreme courts of ! Vancouver Island and British Columbia." The chart has been presented to the Law Society of British Columbia, and ordered by the benchs to be published with the law reports. The chart traces the judiciary of British Columbia from the time when the Hon. David Cameron was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court of Civil Justice of Vancouver Island in 185;), down to the present day. The lirst British Columbia judge was the Hon. Matthew Begbie, appointed in 1S5S, and Vancouver and the mainland did not possess the same judges until 1866. The chart contains a great deal of interesting information.

Eleven-twelfths of 1899 have gone to the calends, and with it the history of so much of the activity which belongs to the mineral industry here. The ore slipments up to date are about 161,000 tons from Rossland mines. This amount for eleven months of '99 exceeds that of the whole of 1898 by 52,718 tons. No doubt, the official returns, when furnished, will reduce these given somewhat, but probably not below 50,000 of an increase which equals about 45 percent. The value of these 164,000 tons may be placed at $2,750,000 gross. The Le Roi is credited with 84,500; the War Eagle with 58,500; the Centre Star with 13,000, and the Iron Mask with 5,200, and the occasional shippers with the balance. Any one who has been looking for great strides in this trade this year must be prepared to meet with some disappointment. The increase, however, is gratifying. All things considered it is very creditable. Later much light will be thrown on the large amount of development work which has been done this year in the division. It seems to be a little out of proportion to the results, but considerable allowance must be made for the character of the formation���the rock is very hard. The war which is literally being carried into Africa, will sooner or later make itself felt in British Columbia, on the principle that it is an ill wind that blows good no where. As yet little advantage has been taken of this circumstance. It is estimated by a very competent authority here that from eight to ten millions of dollars of English capital could be made available for investment in Kootenay and Yale mines if the right persons moved promptly and properly. The working geology of the Giant, under the direction of Mr. Tregear, is making great progress. This promotion was referred to in a previous report. The' ledge has been uncovered for a distance of 75 feet, and the work is all in ore, of which about 500 tons are ready for shipment. The stock has increased about 100 per cent, since work begun. This property is one of the genuine ones, which it is a pleasure to record. WILL GO ON. Everything Points to tlie Extension of the C. P. R. Next Year. The Grand Forks Miner in discussing the C. P. R. movements in Boundary, adds: "Everything now points to the extension of the road to the Similkameen valley next year. It is known that two surveying parties are now at work in the neighborhood of Princeton. Construction may, however, start from the other end, that is, at the point where the Columbia & Western is to strike the main line of the C. P. R., which is thought to be Spence's bridge on the Thompson river." The Principal of the Pnbllc School. Mr. Arthur File, who has been teacher of the Coldstream school during the past three months, has been appointed principal of the Greenwood school. Mr. File is an experienced teacher, who has been very successful, and we feel certain he will give the people of Greenwood satisfaction. His many friends in Vernon and at Knob Hill, where he has also taught school for two years, will be pleased to hear of his well-merited promotion, Mr. File left on Tuesday to enter upon his dutits,���Vernon News.

Friday, Dec. 1, 1899 THE GREENWOOD MINER A GREAT ORE BELT Continued from page two. group he did the development work, turning over later the controlling interest in that property to the Buckhorn Copper-Gold Company, of which Mr. Rufus Pope, M. P., ia president. At the Buckhorn' "Next to the Arlington-Burns group on the same minerel belt, lies the Buckhorn and Tintic locations which, as already noted, were flrat opened up by Mr. Bielenberg, and later turned over to Mr. Pope and his associates. "As far as ���hown by work prosecuted on the Buckhorn group, the property boasts three distinct ore zones, separated by barren bands of rock. One of these zones is evidently 200 feet wide, and the third 100 feet in width. All have been prospected by means of surface cuts and several shafts, one incline shaft being down 76 feet. The management has devoted most of its attention to the first of these ore zones, and from it considerable ore, all of high grade, has been taken, and is now to be seen on the ore pile. Some of the rock taken from a pay chute near the surface went $24 in gold and 9 per cent, in copper. Other samples running leBfl in gold assay 23 per cent, copper. "This pay chute, which has been opened up for 125 feet on the surface, lies very flat, and by no means of a very little work it looks as though several hundred tons of $50 ore could be taken out by a few men in a short time. "All the properties in this Deadwood Camp mineral belt lie within a mile or so of the Greenwood smelter, now under construction, and wood and water for mining purposes abound. If surface indications and preliminary development work go for anything, both Deadwood Camp and South Deadwood Camp will go rapidly to the front during the next year or two." Frank D. L. Smith. EHOLT ECHOES. Dr. Kingston, a graduate of the Toronto Medical School, has decided to locate here. He has been appointed physician for all the principal mines surrounding Eholt, and will erect a small hospital here, having made favorable arrangements with the Townsite Co. for the purpose. From news that has been received here it is very doubtful if A. L. Watson, who was so badly injured in the accident at the B. C. mine, will recover the sight of either of his eyes. This is most unfortunate, and he has the deep sympathy of many friends. The other two men injured are getting along well. A new strike has been made here on the. property of the Summit Gold Mining Co., about two miles on the railroad south of here. In opening up a crosscut on the lead, twelve feet of solid copper ore was disclosed. The claim is right alongside the track, and will have excellent facilities for shipping when developed. As soon as the station at Greenwood is completed work will commence on the station at Eholt. It is understood that an agent will be appointed here next week. The ore cars for the B. C. mine have arrived, but through mistake were carried through to Greenwood. Shipments will begin at once to the Trail smelter.

Friday, Dec. 1, 1899 THE BLOODIEST BATTLE Of Many a Bay Fought Between Britain* and Boers. London, Nov. 29.���A cable from Cape Town states that General Lord Methuen defeated the Boers in one of the most desperatt and bloody battles of modern times, lasting ten hours, in the vicinity of Modder river- Eight thousand Boers strongly entrenched, with two large seige guns, four Krupp machine guns and rifles were finally driven from their position at the point of the bayonet. Lord Methuen says it was the most terrible battle of modern times. The casualties have not yet been ascertained, but are very large. The entire British force fought from dawn till dusk without food or water. Colonel Albrecht was commanding the Boers. He was formerly an officer in the Austrian army and is a known able artillerist and strategist. The British troops marched forty- eight miles and fought three battles in seven days. During the battle General Carew managed to get a small force across the Modder river and fired on the enemy in the rear. The defeat of the Boers was complete. Later Special to Miner.���Lord Methuen was wounded but not seriously. Three staff officers were killed and seven wounded. It is believed the casualties among men and officers of the Ninth Brigade were heavy. MINEBAL ACT, 1896. Certificate of Improvements.
