The proposition he would insist on was to build the road in the cheapest possible way, giving the Government control of the rates. BOUNDARY CREEK M. & C. ASSOCIATION. The reg-ular meeting was held on Tuesday, Mr. Galloway in the chair. Communications from Mr. Allan Cameron, district freight agent of the G. P.R. at Vancouver, acknowledging receipt of petition signed, by the merchants of Boundary Creek ; from the Hon. G.B. Martin, Chief Commissioner of Eands and Works, stating that, the petition for the construction of a wagon road from Greenwood City to the North Fork, would receive the consideration of the Government; and from Mr. A. G. Smith, Deputy Attorney General, in repl3r to a letter from the Association urging the erection of a Eock-tip at Greenwood, were received and read by the secretary. The ''Voters' Eist\" committee reported that through their efforts a number of names had been added to the list. Mr. Black stated that he understood Mr. Rendell was compiling a directory of residents., in the town ; this directory would be most useful for purposes of comparison with the Voters' Eist ; he would, therefore, move that Mr. Rendell be asked to act on the committee.���Carried. At the request of the chairman, Mr. Smailes gave a somewhat lengtlry account of his visit to the coast and of the work that had been performed by the delegates there as representatives of the Association. In discussing the matter of freight rates with Mr. Cameron, of the C.P.R. Co., he succeeded in proving to him that under existing- conditions goods could be hauled from Marcus at a cheaper rate than from Penticton and that consequently seven- eights of the goods now shipped to retailers on Boundary Creek came from either Spokane or the East. Viewing the matter from this representation of the state of affairs, Mr. Cameron at once recognized that unless the C.P.R made arrangements to facilitate the handling of freight between the Company's terminus at Penticton and Boundary Creek the bulk of the trade would be lost to them, and promised that the most feasible plan to improve the present service would be carefully considered. In his interview with Mr. Martin, Mr. Smailes strongly emphasized the fact that even if a railroad is built this year through the district, wagon-roads, and particularly the Summit camp waggon road, will be indispensable. A vote of thanks was tendered to THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES. Mr. Smailes for his efficient services in behalf of the district. A discussion followed as to the best 'means of providing for the expense of issuing a pamphlet descriptive of the district. After' several suggestions had been advanced, it was resolved to ask the Townsite Company to bear one- third of the cost, the business men of the town to subscribe the balance of the sum required. The chairman drew the attention of the meeting to the fact that in the petition to the Minister of Mines asking that a Recorder's office be established at Grand Forks, the boundaries were so described that prospectors living in Greenwood, Wellington, Summit and other Boundary Creek camps, would, if the petition were granted, be seriously inconvenienced by being compelled to record at Grand Forks instead of Midway. It was decided to address a counter-petition to the Minister of Mines, asking that if a second mining division is made, the dividing line be drawn from \"a point commencing at the intersection of Fourth of July, creek and the International boundary line, thence direct north.\" UNION, AND GET A MOVE ON.\" Mr. Thos. McDonnell writes from Victoria to The Times, stating that the utmost enthusiasm now exists in that city regarding immediate railway connection with Boundary Creek. In this matter politics cut no fig-tire* Conservatives and Liberals, Government and Opposition, are unanimous in urging that the greatest possible assistance be given to the proposed road, by the Dominion and the Province. He says that at the public meeting (mentioned on previous pag-e) one of the most telling points was made by our delegate, Mr. Robt. Wood, when he closed his speech with the watch-word, \"Union, and Get a Move On.\" Mr. Wood said the people of Boundar3r wanted the Coast to have the benefit of their trade. The different sections of the province were equally rich in mineral resources, but southern Yale was ripe to be taken hold of and could be easily lost by a policy of delay. They knew a railroad would be constructed through the Crow's Nest Pass ; they knew that the interests of the C.P.R. and Mr. Heinze were identical; those two would run branch lines where they would prove profitable, to themselves, and their interests were not identical with the interests of the coast cities. Mr. McDonnell then refers to some of the more prominent remarks in the speeches which followed : Mr. A. Iy. Beljrea believed in government supervision. If the C.P.R. built the Crow's Nest road they would only come as near the coast as was profitable to themselves ; and if this southern road passes into their hands the public interests will be endangered. Rossland is now an important place, but he believed that on Boundary Creek and further west there was the material for a dozen greater Rosslands. Dr. Milne was satisfied that the road should be under the supervision of the government, and was anxious to have it independent of the C.P.R. or any other corporation. Mr. D. R. Ker held that the Boun- dar3r Creek country was equally as rich as Kootenay, and being much nearer was of more importance to the coast. If the g-overnment had to guarantee the cost of construction, he wou1.dcome out flat-f ship. Hon. J. H. Turner recognized that the road in question was a most important one. Ivt.-Col. Prior thought this railroad was a matter which appealed to everyone in the province. It was the chance of a life-time. All the weight and influence he could bring to bear on his friends in the house of commons would tooted for government owner- be used to obtain assistance for British Columbia roads. Mr. Thos. Darle, M.P., promised his support in parliament to any railroad for the benefit of B.C., and to this road in particular. Mr. R. P. Rithet said the time was ripe for the immediate construction of railroads. There was special, reason for getting railroad communication as quickly as possible with Boundary Creek, and what he suggested was fto' at once build the section from Penticton to Boundary and connect with the S. & O., completing the coast section later. As to guarantees, if more was asked than half the cost he thought it preferable that the government should build the road. v> Mr. H. Bostock, M.P., was anxious to see this railroad scheme go forward, as it affected an important portion of his constituency. Boundary Creek, he believed, would prove the most valuable district on the rotate, as regards a market for coast merchants. He would do all in his power at Ottawa to assist in railroad development. ,. Mr. Scaife wished< to see the road built by the government as a provincial undertaking. Aid. McCandless believed the road would pay \"from the first day it was opened. If he was premier of the province he would risk his political existence on the construction of this road. sk<3; \"T^ *��- ft 4�� Greenwood, B.C. Office, Store, and Saloon Fixtures a specialty.

THE BOUNDARY CREEK TIMES, MINING NOTES. has feet M. Co. G.A.R., g-ood A 3-foot vein of sulphide ore been uncovered at a, depth of 10 on the COD, in Deadwood camp. Mr. W. T. Thompson was exhibiting- this week a very beautiful specimen of Rock Creek cannel coal, which \\yas greatly admired. Somemag-nificent ore was taken this week from the drift at the 130-foot level on the No. 7. The assays ran hig-her than any before made. So far the assessment work that is being- prosecuted on the Boundary Falls, the adjoining-claim to the Ruby in Central Camp, by Mr. Holbrook, has been unproductive of satisfactory results. Work will, however, be continued. The Boundary Creek M. .& are continuing-to sink on the the shaft being-down 30 feet in ' ore. A tunnel was started last week on the D.A. and is now in 10 feet. The company have increased their working- force by four men. Reports from the Jewel have been of a somewhat unsatisfactory nature lately. Notwithstanding-, Mr. I^eslie Hill, the eng-ineer in charg-e of the work, is by no means discourag-ed; in fact machinery has been' ordered by his advice to facilitate the working- of the claim. A fractional claim was staked last week by Messrs. Donag-in and I^aw between the Great Hopes and the Sunset, in Deadwood. The Great Hopes lead is supposed to run throug-h the Sure \" Thing-, as the fraction is called. It is rather odd that ground in so promising- a locality should have been left vacant until now. The Times congratulates one of its subscribers, Mr. F. C. Brown of Spokane, upon the great piece of g-ood luck that has befallen him. When Mr. Brown was in the Transvaal he peg-g-ed out a number of claims, to which he was refused title. He sued the Government for $1,000,000 damag-es, and the other day judg-ment was g-iven in his favor. GREENWOOD AND VICINITY. The Boundary Creek L/tiniber Co. contemplate of the mills to Fholt creek.

FREE MINERS' CERTIFICATES. The Times has on former occasions remarked anent\" the injustice of the tax which, under the name of a Free Miner's certificate, is imposed iiot on'ry upon mine-owners or prospectors but upon miners or laborers employed in mines. -The subject is ably discussed in a recent issue of the News-Advertiser of Vancouver * as the following excerpt will show :.;,'. \"Because'a man may find a few days' work around or ina mine, either as a skilled miner or as an. unskilled laborer, he should, therefore, he compelled to take out a Free Miner's certificate is unreasonable. It is also inequitable because men eng-ag-ed in other occupations���even ��� in the somewhat similar capacity as coal- miners���are not made amenable to such a tax. .'-.������.. ... As far back'as 1892, the Opposition condemned the unfair incidence of the law regarding Free Miners'certificates, Mr. Cotton moving a resolution to limit the liability, to such taxation to those who desired to acquire mineral, hydraulic, or placer claims. It was, how- 'ever, defeated/the representatives of the mining districts themselves voting against aud naively sa3dng- that the men engag-ed in such industries rather liked paying the tax, just as eels are said to enjoy being skinned. While no doubt honest in their view, these members -were doubtless forg-etf ul of the change which was coming over the mining industry in the Province, and their vision was-limited to placer miniug- by individuals which, up to that time, practically comprised British Columbia mining-. The question, however, with the Government is that of revenue. By amendirig the law as it now stands with regard to Free Miners' certificates and limiting the incidence of the tax to prospectors and claim or mine owners only, the consequent falling off in revenue now derived from the imposition of the tax would be considerable- But if the resolution recently passed by the Victoria Board of Trade, urging- the Government to levy a tax upon the capitalized\" value of mines, becomes law,'any deficit resulting from the removal of a tax falling heavily on the shoulders of the laboring- classes, will be amply met by the certainly justifiable taxation of, in some cases, merely speculative promoters, or, at any rate, corporations in a position to afford thus contributing to the provincial funds. In view of the probably extensive development of mineral claims in every section of the country this year, particularly in Boundary Creek, it is to be hoped that the Government will see the advisability of taking immediate steps to remedy the cause of the mine-laborer's reasonable grievance in that he is compelled to pay for the privilege of being allowed to work. GREENWOOD AND VICINITY. Mr. J. T. Wilkinson, representing the Vancouver ''World,\" visited Greenwood this week. \"Jim\" Bruce was admitted to the hospital on Monday suffering from inflammatory rheumatism. Mr. Oliver, of the Rambler claim, is suffering-from blood-poisoning in the hand, caused from becoming overheated at a dance. The funeral of Mr. J. H. Eynch took place at Trail on Saturday, the 23rd ult. The remains were followed to the grave by a number of friends and acquaintances of deceased, among whom were several who had served in the Northwest rebellion with him. Mr. J. C. Haas went out to Spokane on Wednesday, on mining business. Ea grippe, in a mild form, has been prevalent in the district for several weeks past, but happily without any ver3r serious results. W. W.

A petition addressed to the Minister of Mines, is being- circulated for signatures asking- for the establishment of a ''Record\" office at Grand Forks, and recommending- that Mr, I. A.

A number of those, however, who sig-ned the petition failed to remark the definition of the boundaries for the proposed new* mining-division as therein described, \"a radius of 15 miles from Grand Forks,\" would embrace camps situated on the west of the summit,,from which Midway is both nearer and more con- venientlyTeached. The real necessity for.a,Recorder's office at Grand Forks is for the accommodation of prospectors and claim-owners at Christina lake or other points undoubtedly too far distant from the Midway office to be included within the limits of the Boundary Creek division proper.

Fowler, consulting engineer and agent for the Ivondon and British Columbia Gold Fields, L/td. This company has large funds at its disposal, as was evidenced the other day when through its agents $900,000 was offered for the War F-agle mine at Rossland. On this account the deal is important. Great Showing on the Mother Locie. The fine body of ore first encountered some two weeks ago on the Mother Ivode has been followed for 20. feet in tunnel without any decrease in the values. The tunnel has thus been driven for about 170 feet, 150 feet of which is 'through ore, the last 20 feet . showing- ore at any rate of shipping grade, if not considerably above the average standard of the product of the , Rossland mines. When it is further ... stated that the hanging, wall has not yet been reached, the truly marvellous showing on the claim will not be disputed. A Foolish Prank. A lad named Thomas McKay was arrested on Tuesday at Grand Forks charged with \"holding-up'' the mail. It appears that McKay simply intended to perpetrate a practical joke on the carrier, who is an employee of the contractors Messrs. Emmet & Spawn, of the LT. S. mail between Grand Forks and Nelson, Wash., and decided that he could not better effect his purpose than by enacting the role of highway- robber. He, therefore, seized a favorable opportunity and stopped his victim, who was on horseback, near Grand Forks, taking from him the mail-sacks which, however, he afterwards returned. Whether McKa3r carried or presented a fire-arm could not be ascertained. The affair was reported to the police, the arrest being made by Constable Dinsmore. Mr. J. L/. Wiseman, of Grand Forks, was visiting friends in Greenwood this week. ��4SV <<&* W^w %(JV Wgfee WQb> k��y ��^�� WJV *��$# <*%<*> U^V ��rf5V Wfk* k^br tjfa ���^V H^Jb/ *%V~ *Jg* W. \\J.

McAULEY & McCUAIG, Proprietors, THE BOUNDARY GREEK TIMES, :J MINING NOTES. A tunnel has been started on the Summit claim, in Summit camp, and a crosscut is being run on the Columbia. Charlie Rendell located last week the Hiraldo, south of the Rambler, on Prior creek. The claim was called after a famous brand of cigars. Work is shortly to be resumed on the East Chance, in Skylark camp. Mr. Rosenthal!, one of the directors of the company owning the property, is expected to arrive in camp in the course of the next few weeks. John Christie in the last few weeks has driven a tunnel thirty feet and sunk a shaft twenty-six feet on the Nightingale, single-handed. This most energetic of prospectors was heard recently \"shooting\" at the early,liour of two in the morning. q.. Word has been received that the Smuggler Mining Company, of Fair- view, intend to commence work on a tunnel and shaft in order to open up a body of ore that would keep a 10-stamp mill running continuously. A mill has already been ordered for the Company. An assessment work was completed last Saturday on the Mountain View, owned by Messrs. G. A. Rendell, C.T. Sears and G. B.Taylor, in Skylark camp, the ledge being stripped 26 ft., disclosing a mass of iron and copper... pyritic ore. This,ore is of an entirely different character to that taken from a 25-foot shaft at another spot on the claim. The No. 3, on Pass creek, has now a good showing. Estops and Smith, the owners, are running a tunnel in on the granite footwall which being easily broken the work progresses rapidly. On the surface of this claim the crop- pings showed arsenical iron, but at the distance of 12 feet in the tunnel a fine body of pyritic copper ore was struck. The shaft on the Rambler was down 35 feet yesterday in solid ore. It is believed that the Rambler is on the same lead as the Delmeiro in Summit camp,' upon which a crosscut was run for 40 feet without finding walls. This supposition is based,on the similarity of the ore of the two claims, and the direction following- the trend of the vein. Copper ore was first encountered in the shaft of the Rambler at a depth of 10 feet, the capping being magnetical iron. Ay'\"On Friday last Mr. Eales, formerly caterer for the Mounted Police sergeants' mess at Calg-ary, became a partner with Mr. G. Seymour in the proprietorship of the Windsor hotel, Mr. Webb disposing- of his interest. The carpenters have been busy this week making alterations and repairs, g-reat improvements in particular being carried out in the bar-room. It is the intention of the new proprietors to enlarge the hotel as soon as lumber is procurable in the spring. Mr. Webb left on Saturday for England. The prospectors living in the vicinit}' of Pass creek have adopted the plan of feeding the deer by felling moss-covered trees upon the trails. The animals in consequence are extremely tame, and larders may hence be replenished at very short notice. m %j W. J. Snodgrass & Sons, Prop's.

While no one questions the wisdom of the course followed by the provincial authorities in strictly enforcing the regulations under the Health Act, at the same time the health officer and his subordinates should have full discretionary powers in matters under their special jurisdiction. As a case in question, there can be no doubt but that during the winter months the present system of deep earth closets is infinitely preferable, from a sanitary point of view, to the objectionable substitute of (so-called) water-tight boxes, for the reason that dry earth is not obtainable so long as snow lies deep on the ground. For six or eight months in the year this objection could riot of course be raised, and with a proper scavengering system the boxes may answer the purpose intended to a more or less satisfactory degree. In India and other countries, where the climate necessitates rigid observance of sanitary laws, a pit sunk to a depth of from 12 to 20 feet has been.found to be the most cleanly form of the earth closet. Whether this plan could be satisfactorily adopted in Greenwood and other towns in the district for all seasons of the year,: is perhaps questionable, on account of finding water before an adequate depth is reached.; Nevertheless, for the four winter months at least, the pit, if cleaned and disinfectants used when required, should be allowed until the advent of warm weather. - The English Press and British Columfcia. The development of the mining industry in British Columbia is undoubtedly begining to attract attention in England, and if the tone generally pervading the London press when the future of the new gold fields are under discussion,���a frequent enough occurrence of late���may be regarded as indicative of the feeling on 'Change, much English capital will bet! invested in the Province this year. In a recent issue of the \"Sketch,\"^ a high-class illustrated publication, appears an interesting article on Rossland and other camps, not forgetting Boundary. Mr. J. Kirkup, Rossland's chief of police, whose portrait is also given, has thus been suddenly raised to a high pinnacle of fame. The article concludes with the following story, which may be taken cum grano, without detracting from its merits : \"Of course, what constitutes a ' high-grade camp ' depends somewhat upon early experience. For instance, the other day a well-known pioneer named L/arigford was slightly injured by a bullet from a revolver. Whereupon., a burly Western miner slapped a companion on the back and, in great glee, roared, 'Jim! the fun's commenced ! She's goin' to be a high- grade camp, arter all !' \" --. DISTRICT NEWS. On Wednesday night a fine body of ore was struck in the tunnel of Victoria at Camp McKinney. The marriage of Mr. C. A. R. Lamb- ly to Miss Haynes Of Midway, which was announced to take place on Thurs- dajr of this week, was unavoidably postponed. The exhaustive and interesting write-up of Boundary Creek mines and claims which appeared in the Seattle P.-I. last summer is to be re-printed in pamphlet form. As there were some glaring inaccuracies, however, in the article, and many changes have taken place during the past six months, a thorough revision will be needed to make the work of any practical value. Mr. Shonquest, a brother of the well- known part-owner of the Denero Grande, arrived in Greenwood from Butte on Thursday. <������' Mr. Hugh Cameron, of Camp McKinney, was in Greenwood on Friday, and took the opportunity of inspecting The Times' headquarters and heartily congratulating its publishers. Mr. George Guess returnud from Fairview on Friday, and estimates that about sixty men are at work in the mines there. A small force of men are working on the Smuggler. Mr. Lewis Hind re-located a promising claim in Central camp on Tuesday, which he has christened \"Forget-me- not.\" The claim has formed a subject for conversation since it was re-staked. Word has been received from Mr. Cole, one of the directors of the company owning the L/ast Chance, in Skylark camp, that application will be made at once to have the claim crown granted, and that a large sum is to be expended by the company in development work this summer. Subscribers have on several occasions written for back numbers of The Times complete to No. 1, Vol. Instating their wish to possess a reference file of the rjaper.
