A GEAND EACE. v / )
—We? m
The Vancouver World gives \\JMe fol-i
lowing interesting account of the 220!
yard race for the championship of BTC.i
which was won by our Princeton sprint-
T. C. Revely, G. M. Turner and E. S.
Wilband crouched in the first heat of the
220 yard dash. Wilband attempted to
fool starter Smith and was penalized one
yard. At the first turn Revely challenged Turner, passed him and entered the
stretch with a good lead, winning easily
. in 25 seconds flat.
J. W. Everett, W. E. Flood and G. A.
King started in the second heat, which
developed a rattling fine race between
Everett and Flood. The pair were neck
and neck at 50 yards from the tape and
Flood, by slackening up, came within an
ace of losing. The heat was half a second slower than the first, being run in
25^-
The final was-undoubtedly the race of
the day and-was magnificently_ruji--and
won by Revely. Revely was too anxiou
to getrttwSy, and went back one yard i
consequence. At the pistol shot, Flobd
bounded away like a deer, and at the
first turn had the pole, and a fair lead,
As the runners entered the home stretch,
Revely went up on the Vancouver 1
and a bitter fight ensued. The vi:
had as much speed and a shade more
strength, and the pride of the Vancouvei
football team was beaten out to the tape
by a yard in 24^ seconds. It wi
grand race, and won by the better 1
FEOM GNAWED MOUNTAIN.
Mr. C. Day returned Wednesday from
his claims on Gnawed Mountain, between
Mamete Lake and Ashcroft, where he
has^spenTtTie summer doing assessment
work. The claim having best showing is
called the Thirtieth of July. The lead is
of white quartz, about 20 feet in width,
and contains a 7 foot pay chute, the balance of the vein being only slightly mineralized.
The pay streak gives assays of from
$10.00 to $18.00 in copper, and also carries a few dollars in gold and silver.
Running into this ledge is a smaller
one between 12 and 15 inches in width,
which carries considerable quantities ofl
molybendiim, some very fine specimens
of which Mr. Day brought out with him.
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FOEM-
ED.
, A meeting was held on the evening of
j the 12th inst., in the old barber shop
! near the Hotel Jackson, for the purpose
of organizing a baseball club. It was de-

CATTLE STEALING.
Mr. A. Lewis returned from Keremeos
on Tuesday last. He brought news of
serious cattle stealing «^e in that se<
tion. A party of three\\frotn Republi
were caught trying t/run .off a band of
47 head. Word o^the attempted steal
was received from Oro, and ten or twelve
men took rifles and went after the thieves. They succeeded in getting ahead ofl
them and lay in wait at a washout where
there was only one crossing. The marauders were evidently not very well acquainted with the country and attempted
to cross some distance above. While engaged in trying to get the cattle over,
they discovered their pursuers and hast
ily abandoned their task. They managed to make good their escape. The cattle belonged to Richter, Cawston & Ellis,'
and were returned to their respective
owners. The Republic parties are well
known, and steps are being taken to have
them prosecuted.
THE OEIOLE.
Messrs. T. Day and J. & C. Snowden!
have been working for a week on the',
Oriole claim on Copper Mountain/l^Jbey*
continued sinking in an 18 foot shaft,
and were down about 23 feet when they
quit. The ore shows great improvement.
It runs between 5 and 6 per cent, in copper, $2.50 in gold and an ounce in silver.
The ore body on the Oriole is said to be
about 150 feet wide, and traceable a
length of 600 feet.
On another page will be found particulars of a new coal company formed in
Spokane to operate in the Similkameen.

RAILWAYS MEAN BUSINESS
The Phoenix Pioneer, in a re
cent article on the railway situation says :
" If the recently published dispatches from Vancouver and Ottawa are to be given credence, the
beginning of construction operations on the long post-poned—anc
longer needed—Coast-to-Kootenay
railway will be undertaken shortly
It is said that McLean" Bros., who
have recently signed a contract witl
the provincial government to construct this road, have made a dea
with McKenzie & Mann and James
J.- Hill for putting through this
important railway link, engineers
being already in the Hope mountains west of Princeton."
" James J. Hill, when recently in
I the Boundary, gave it out pretty
plain that he fully intended to continue the new V., V. & E. line
through to the coast, with or without a bonus."
" At last, then, there appears to
be something tangible to all this
railway scheming. Appearances
indicate that dirt will really begin
to fly on the construction of the
Coast-Kootenay railway line in the
- near future. The dispatching of
two such important engineers as
James H. Kennedy and Alex. E
Lupfer to the field west of the
Boundary would of itself indicate
this more than anything else, the
surveys into Phoenix and Greenwood and west to Princeton having been completed some months
since."
" But in all these reports not
word is said about the C..P. R.
which has had the monopqly.gfjjSjip
ore carrying and passenger trade of
this section for some years. - That
Canada's greatest railway will quietly see the rich trade in sight go to
a rival line, without a most stren
uous effort to preserve it, is not to
be thought tor a moment. Already
the C. P. R., by the completion of j
the Great Northern line to Grand
Forks, has lost most of its coast
passenger traffic from the Boundary, and is feeling the competition
keenly."

MOTHEB LODE GLOEY-
Large Additional Ore Bodies Found
Upon the Mine.
?-^gK§
The Mother Lode mine was but
i half discovered until a short time
ago. Within its boundaries new
ore bodies have been uncovered
which practically double the value
y of the" property. The original
work was commenced in the southern portions of the claim. Enormous ore bodies were opened up
and the Mother Lode was placed
near the head of the list of those remarkable properties for which the
Boundary_has become famous. Up
above these original workings was
a grass covered bute that looked
like any other hill.
Since the introduction of the
quarrying system and its very successful operation, the surface work
encroached farther and farther toward the hill top. Recently open
cuts were made at the summit when
the discovery was made that the
entire hill top is copper ore. The
body has been opened up for 200
feet in length and 100 feet in width.
> The ore averages 3 2-10 per cent,
copper and $2 in gold. It carries
plenty of lime and looks good to
Paul Johnson for his smelter.
Two big glory holes have been
started and from these 300 or 400
tons a day can be easily shipped.
These glory holes can be continued
down to the original workings below. The ore can be mined and
hauled at an exceedingly low cost,
and having good values it adds
greatly to the wealth of the Mother
Lode.
The new discovery makes the
mine one of almost incalculable
tonnage. It would be difficult to
compute the amount of ore from the
summit of the hill down to the base
of the claim several hundred feet
below.

1 his camp in Aspen
Grove, where he is working a small
crew of men developing two copper
properties with satisfactory results.
In an interview regarding this
new coal company, he said that
the company was about to secure
some 7680 acres of coal land in this
basin. SomFof their property
situated on One Mile Creek, and
they also have the Laidlaw group
on Whipsaw Creek, comprising
some 2560 acres, with good coal in
sight.
The capital stock of this company
is $1,000,000, divided into one mi ■
lion shares of the par value of $1.60
per share, fully paid and non-assessable. Two hundred and fifty thousand shares are in the treasury, the
balance of stock is pooled and held'
in trust.

and Percy F. Godenrath as manager, who is a well known press cor
respondent throughout this district
as well as the Boundary.
The company's coal locations
will be surveyed this fall, as soon as
letters have been obtained active development will be carried on with
a view of meeting the demands as
soon as transportation is available
in the Similkanieen.
PACK TEAIN AND MINEES.
Prospecting Party From Similkameen
Made Cambie Street Look
Wild and Woolly.
It looked like early days on Cambie Street, in front of the Commercial Hotel this afternoon. Forty-
and fifty-eighters rubbed
their eyes as they looked and then
went into the nearest grocery store
and ordered beans and dried apples
to be sent home.
It was a pack train, and the real
simon pure outfit at that. Saddles,
bags, diamond hitches and everything else that goes up to settle the
miner's transportation problem was
in evidence, and Cambie street took
on a wild and woolly aspect.
Messrs. McRae, among the best
known of British Columbia's Interior prospectors, were just arriv-
The brothers have been in
the Similkameen hunting up mines
for the last two years, and now that
they have secured valuable locations, are going into the cities to in
terest capital in their prospects.
The miners secured their claims,
complied with the laws in respect
to staking and notices, and then
tying the last knot around Jenny,
the pack train leader, hit the trail
and piked for the coast.
Eeaving Princeton on Wednesday last the party passed through
Ashnola the next day and headed
for the trail over Hope Mountain.
Though they stopped one day on
the way down steady time was kept
up and the Yale road reached.
They, came down to Westminster,
crossed the river by the ferry and
reached Vancouver to-day.
The Messrs. McRae brothers
brought six horses with them, two
saddle animals and the others for
packing. They will take their ore
samples to some of the larger eastern cities, and will only rest in
Vancouver before leaving. They
brought good reports from the Similkameen, and like all others from
there, say that a railway is all that
is needed to make the country the
