Customs Officer���Joint Meeting Suggested. The Greenwood Mining- and Commercial association unanimously adopted a strongly worded resolution at a large and representative meeting- held in Barrett's hall on Friday .evening. After the reading, and adoption of the minutes, Alderman Galloway was elected president of the association to .fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Mr. Anderson. The secretary of the Rossland Board of Trade asked for'the co-operation of ;the association in securing a. joint meeting of different boards of trade at some central point.to consider,matters of importance, to Kootenay and Boundary Creek. The secretary was instructed to write, promising co-opeia- tion in the movement, and suggesting Rossland as the place of meeting. The consideration of the Corbin charter was then taken up. Mr. W. T. Smith said that it was of the highest importance that this railway should be built. It is not a question of fighting the C. P. R. It was the importance of securing competition. If Corbin \"had a monopoly in Boundary Creek he would be just as anxious to encourage \"the\"C. P. R. It was of the highest importance that the lowest transportation rates should be secured.. Mr. F. J. Finucane, manager of the Bank of Montreal, urged that everything be done to secure the charter. It was a matter in which Greenwood was peculiarly interested, and every effort should be made-by the citizens. Mr. Pringle urged that a strong resolution be passed, even stronger than those of other boards of trade. Greenwood was more directly interest- ��� ed and,could speak more ^feelingly' in the matter.' The meeting then went into committee to 'prepare, a resolution. The committee reported the following resolution, which was adopted unanimously on motion of Mr. McRae, seconded by Mr. Finucane : Whereas, railway competition is ab-, solutely essential to the speedy development of the Boundary Creek country ;-.and \"Whereas, public sentiment in the district is unanimously in favor of railway competition; and Whereas, an application is being made to the Dominion parliament for a charter for the construction of a railway traversing a portion of the Boundary Creek country, which will be called the Kettle River Valley railway ; and Whereas, the granting of such charter and the construction of said railway would be of the utmost benefit to the development of Southern British Columbia, and is absolutely necessary to gain the confidence, of capital, to secure its rapid influx; and would insure the establishment of the smelting and mining industries under the most favorable conditions : and Whereas, the promoters of said railway are not asking any money subsidy, land grant or other bonus; 'SI jt iflJL 11 aii An act for safety, etc., of workmen The above with Amendments for 1899 Now on Sale at SMITH & McRAE'S, Books, Stationeiy, Wallpaper, Notions and Fancy Goods, GREENWOOD, B.O. Therefore be it resolved, that in the opinion of the\" Mining and Commercial Association of the City of Greenwood, it is not only desirable, but absolutely essential to the development of the country that this railway should be constructed, subject to government control of rates, and that the people are justly entitled to obtain the railway competition asked for, and that in order to render the accomplishment of this possible, the charter applied for should be granted, thereby rendering an act of justice to the people of Southern British Columbia. . Be it further resolved, that copies of this resolution be sent to all members of the Parliament of Canada. The secretary was instructed to have 500 copies printed for distribution., The question of sending a delegate to Ottawa to push the charter was then discussed. Mr. Smith and others stated that the sending of a delegate last year was a splendid advertisement for Greenwood. They could better\" affore to send one this year. It was decided to call a public meeting at an early date to finally decide the matter. On motion of Mr. Ross, seconded by Mr. McDonnell, a resolution passed, urging the appointment of a customs officer at Greenwood. Messrs. Keith, Ross and McRae were appointed a committee to secure the signatures of business men to a petition praying for the appointment. THE CITY COUNCIL. Deals With Various Matters at Its Regular Meeting. AH the members of the city council, with the exception of Alderman Naden, were present at the regular meeting Monday evening. Rendell '&\" Co., through A. S. Black, notified the council that their Government street building was sagging on account of removal of supports by city contractors, and unless remedied action for damages' would be taken. The city engineer was instructed to attend this matter. Boss and Nelson requested payment of S127, the wages of man kept on dump on.' Copper street. The council granted $75 and in the future offered to pay half the wages for one man kept to level the streets. Mowat &^ Palmer and Paton & Co. were granted permission to make copies of assessment roll. Dr. Schon wrote on health matters, and Geo. A. Guess pointed out the danger of using Boundary creek water , taken fr8m below points of contamination. The letters were received and filed. \".,''���'..'���' The mayor's action in dismissing W. Smith, city engineer, was upheld and the clerk was instructed to tender him $80 in full for claims of salary and damages. The city engineer was instructed to survey a part of the Hall ranch for cemetery purposes. The council decided, in return for a rate of S2 a day for city patients, to grant the Greenwood hospital exemption from taxation, a bonus of $500, open up Skylark street, and the privilege of tapping the water mains. Three loan by-laws were read a first and second time. No sum was mentioned in the by-laws, but one is for street limprovements, the second for waterworks and the third for municipal buildings and cemetery. The treasurer was instructed to pay the collector S25 for stationery, etc. On motion of Alderman Cameron, seconded by Alderman Cropley, it was decided to recommend the appointment of C. J. McArthur and Alderman Sutherland as police commissioners. , Strike on the Saloon Fraction. A rich strike was made the past week on the Saloon fraction in Summit camp. A quartz ledge 12 feet in width, was uncovered, carrying high gold values. The ledge has been stripped for about 25 feet. The Saloon lies between the Mountain View, Blue Bell and Brayfogle, and is owned by Jas. Cunningham and W. Shaw. The ledge is a portis quartz, showing copper stain, and, like the ore bodies on adjoining claims, will doubtless with depth increase iu copper values. The claim is 500 by 1,000 feet and was located last year. The shaft on the Oro Denoro in Summit camp is down 100 feet. Fritz. Haussener has returned from Switzerland accompanied by his sister..

GuuiC.wvooi) still continues to be one of the dirtiest towns in British Columbia. ' A special providence must be thwarting the machinations of disease because in the back yards of hotels and other places fever-breeding- factories are working- continuously. The streets are almost as bad as the back yards'and nothing, is done. A brand new set of health regulations has been added to the list of city ordinances, but there is no improvement in the sanitary conditions of the city. It is the veriest folly to. act as if Greenwood was to enjoy special immunity from the evil consequences of slothful- ncss and a studied neglect of ordinary sanitary regulations. It is idle to suppose that people can keep on using- water from Boundary creek while it is being- contaminated by varied pollutions���all of the worst description. There are lit teen or sixteen hotels in the city. At least a. dozen of the proprietors should be asked to appear in the police court or at once get their premises in a proper sanitary condition. There are probably 2,000 residents in the town. Ninety per cent, of the householders should be treated similarly to the hotel keepers. The city authorities should also be forced to clean up the streets and keep them clean! '���''.' Action should be taken at once.. All that is needed to ruin the prosperity of Greenwood is a fever epidemic. All that is needed . to secure a fever epidemic is. a do-nothing- policy. The head of a prominent institution, which spends thousands of dollars in the city said last week that just as soon as the fever struck Greenwood he would move the offices to Columbia. He did not propose to risk the lives of himself and , his men simply because no one made ' any erfort to keep the cjty clean. One week's g-ood work is all that is required to bring- the city back to a state of ordinary cleanliness. The g-eneralgood requires the most drastic measures.. There is plenty of municipal and provincial machinery. Shall it be set in motion ? IN FAVOR OF THE ROAD. The feeling- in Greenwood in favor of the Corbin road is as. strong- as it ever was. The meeting of the Mining- and Commercial association held Friday evening was the best attended meeting1 of the year, and the resolution in favor of the road was passed without' a dissenting- voice. The resolution is couched in temperate lang-uage and cannot be objected to, even by the friends of the C. P. R. The company cannot surely deny the people the rig-ht to. urge the granting- of such railway charters as will afford them competition. The people demand the Corbin charter,,, not because of any special antipathy to the C. P. R., but because it is exceedingly dang-erous to the prosperity of any country that it should be placed at the mercy of one railway company. As Mr.' W. T. Smith stated, if Mr. Corbin's'line was the only one in the district, we would be just as anxious to secure the C. P. R. The people all along- the line are recognizing that a gross injustice would be' inflicted on the people of Boundary Creek by denying- them railway competition. Even Vancouver is taking- up the fig-ht in the interests of this district. At a larg-ely-attended meeting- of 'the Vancouver' board of .trade a a resolution was introduced favoring the Corbin charter. The meeting was overwhelmingly in favor of the resolution, but the discussion was postponed ��� for .one week. Mr. Geo. McL,. Brown, the executive agent of the C. P. R., waved the old flag- at. the meeting, but it is scarcely likely that the common sense business men of Vancouver will be fooled all the time by sentimental twaddle.

Graves, who, outside of managing several properties in the Rossland camp,,is at the head of five companies operating in the Boundary Greek district. Mr. Graves has just returned from one of his flying visits'to \"this last mentioned district, looking over .the mines in' .which he is interested and incidentally trying to make up his mind where to locate the smelter plant of the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting company, of which he is the head, and was the successful promoter in Mont- Teal, Canada. ' - ��� , Mr. .Graves, after taking a day's rest in. the city, left for Rossland, and may perhaps visit Trail. This time he is accompanied by A. B. W. Hodges, who will be the smelter superintendent and metallurgist for the new company. These gentlemen will return to the city in a few days, and then an- qtherjflyihg; trip-to the. Boundarycoun-.. \"try will be in' order, this time perhaps to settle for bnce and all where the smelter will be located. :.\"j '; ��� Mr. Graves frankly-admitted that he did not' know himself- where'.��� the site was going to be. He said : \" It is not forme to' decide the\"proper, place to build: That is the reason why Mr.'; Hodges is going up to the Boundary ��� country.\"'';.\";; ,-. ���.���; ���'.-.. ': : : \"What, in your, opinion, .would be a desirable .location for such a plant?\" was afked. .. ;' \" There are several places that would suit us. We might build for instance at Midway, or somewhere on Boundary creek near Greenwood. Again, the North Fork of the Kettle river pre- ��� sents advantages.- This can also be said of the main Kettle river near Grand' Forks, Columbia or Carson. ��� What we desire is a site the nearest to our mines; where the ore can have a dowri hill haul; with the least distance and consequent saving \"in freight; plenty of water, fuel and lime. There are two or-three such .places, but no decision has been reached. If I could could tell you, honestly, J would do-so, '. but I can: not.\" ; Asked if any.-of the towns in that section had offered his company a a bonus ;to build the plant in their vicinity, he replied : \" We have had no positive bonus offered :us,.nor are we looking, for one, but several, of the towns would like to have the smelter near to them and have offered to'help , lis.in every way possible:\" The smelter will have a capacity to treat, at the- lowest, 400 tons of ore daily, and if necessary 500 tons. It will be so constructed that it will be increased when needed to double its capacity with little extra expense. When asked if it would be a customs smelter, he: replied : :,!No, I hardly think sb; We are building it for our, own use. However, until a customs smelter is built in that country, it may be that we will treat the product of other mines if requested and if favorable rates can be arranged suitable to all parties. The intention is that it will be used mainly for our own ores, as I firmly believe by the time the plant is completed the different/mines .my companies own will be in a position to ship all the ores . necessary to run it continuously.\" Then the reporter switched to the treatment' of Rossland ores. Mr. Graves is operating the Mascot, Southern Belle, Snowshoe and California properties in that camp that are being extensively developed, so that in the ���near future they will be turning out a considerable tonnage. The question evidently seemed to surprise ' him, but he promptly replied.: \" It is certainly within the bounds of possibility. But \"this question involves the matter of freight rates to a considerable degree. If we found we could get from the railway company such a rate that would be low enough to allow us to make a profit by smelting the ores ourselves, instead of paying money to another smelter, we might do so, though this question has not baen fully discussed.\" Spokesman-Review, MERCHANTS OF And adjoining camps, who run temporarily out of stock and need supplies at a day's notice, can secure the same at strictly- competitive rates frorii the B.C.\" HNlflfOiHINDi Ltd., of Cascade.
