An effort will be made to lay the water- pipe to Government street immediately The stages recently acquired by the Columbia Townsite Co. are coming through to Columbia from Bossburg and Marcus, and the Snodgrass stage line has changed its time-table to meet the change on the other end. Mails and passengers arrive here daily about 2 p. m. The Townsite company is making- arrangements with the Canadian Pacific Railway company to cut a channel for Boundary creek through the upper portion of the town. The work will likely be undertaken by one of the C. P. R. contractors, and it is expected that it will be completed before high water next spring. Like many schemes'which the coast merchants suggested, not in the public interest but for selfish purposes, the alien exclusion, placer mining bill is likely to prove a boomerang. The enforcement of the act will discourage the argonauts from going into the Atlin Lake district and the amount of supplies sold in the coast cities will be lessened thereby. ^!2x H. Miller, a C. P.

Mr. Miller started back for Rock Creek, but it is supposed he afterwards changed,his mind and made an effort to follow his companion to the Beaver Creek camp. He probably lost the i trail and wandered about until' completely exhausted. He afterwards regained the trail but- was evidently too weak to 'make .any progress. He , was found early Monday morning in an unconscions condition and was brought back to Rock Creek.

This claim was recently purchased from J. C. Haas, H. R. Elliott, G. T. Hodgson and H. M. Lamb. There is a 16-foot shaft on the property sunk on the ledge. The town was flooded with commercial travelers this week, nearly a score of big wholesale houses on the coast and east being represented. They feel confident that Boundary Creek is g'oing ahead with a rush, are leaving no stone unturned in order to secure the trade. Mr. A. M. Rice proposes getting- out a pamphlet that will give a full report of Boundary Creek district, and will ��� insert folder map showing all locations' to date.

He stated that they expected to have the road completed .by the 1st of June next. The road would be finished before that time were it not for the fact that there are several bridges to be constructed iu the vicinity of Arrow lakes. Those bridges can only.be built from the end of the track and building' theui one at a time is slow work. % 6, ii THE BO tJNDARY CREEK TIMES. 1 H. HALL.ETT, , NOTARY, PUBLIC. ', GREENWOOD, EJ.O.

There is a material difference between the Semlin government and the Turner government. If the Turner government did wrong it stuck to wrong aud used specious arguments to prove its course was right. The Semlin government makes an effort to do what is right, even at the expense of consistency. Some time ago The Times pointed put the injustice of refusing to pay Mrs. Flood a month's salary for taking charge of the Greenwood school in the absence of a certificated teacher. The government pointed to the section of the school law forbidding the employment of teachers without provincial certificates. This Times did not , quarrel with the law, but pointed out that under the unusual circumstances Mrs. Flood ought to be paid the salary. The government reconsidered the matter and sent Mrs. Flood a cheque for the nionth'.s salary. It is to be distinctly understood, however, that this course is not to be taken as a precedent. There are special cases where the rigid observance of the law works a hardship, and the government is entitled to credit for having pursued the right course. ALDERMANIC QUALIFICATIONS. The city council of Grand Forks consider the observance of the provisions of the Municipal Elections act necessary to the proper administration of municipal affairs. Mr. White, who was elected at the head of the poll in one of the wards, found that his property had not been reg-istered the six months required by law and promptly resigned. The resignation was accepted by the council and another election ordered. Nominations were held on Friday last and the election on Monday. Ex-Mayor Jeff Davis and Robert Harvey were the candidates. '...,,��� The provisions of ' the Municipal Elections act are applicable to and in force in all cities of the province. Even Greenwood cannot escape the consequences of violating- any of the clauses. It is the duty of the council to take such steps as will remove any possible doubt regarding the qualifications of any of its members. The public interest is paramont to that of the individual. It would be the worst kind of folly to jeopardize the city business by allowing any alderman not properly qualified to take his seat. CORRESPONDENCE. Tub Boundary Cheek Times publishes communications on matters of public interest, but disclaims any responsibility for'the' opinions expressed in this column. McKinney Reefs. Fairview, B. C, Jan. 13, 1899., To the Editor : An interview with Mr. Fox, of the firm of Fox & Ross, mining- brokers, Toronto, which appeared in your issue of the 7th inst., has been shown me, and as Mr. Fox has seen fit to attack the McKinney Reef company, to whom I sold the Last Chance and Flying Dutchman claims, I hope you will give space to a , few words in reply. I have before me a copy of the preliminary prospectus of The McKinney Reef Gold Mining- company,\"and can state positively that it contains no statements which are calculated to mislead. Every detaii of the company's undertakings is plainly stated, and the report upon the properties gives the public all that can be known of them until they are further developed. Mr. Fox visited Camp McKinney at a time when the ground was covered with deep snow, and when the surface showings could not be seen, so that his statements to your representative must have been founded on hearsay only. Then, too; Mr. Fox is not a mining man in any' sense of of the word, and therefore could not form an intelligent opinion of a mineral claim' even if the conditions had been such that he could have made a proper examination. Hisstatement that \"there is not the slightest possibility of the Cariboo vein running through the Flying Dutchman\" is of itself sufficient evidence that Mr. Fox is entirely*; ignorant of the subject which he discusses with such assurance. No com-' petent ruining man would make such a statement after having seen the property. . There is no camp in the country where a person interested in a certain claim cannot hear disparaging remarks about other claims. Even the now famous Cariboo was unmercifully decried by many who claimed to know, during various stages of its development, and even after it became a dividend payer. The Last Chance is one of the earliest locations, in camp, and its position makes it certain that if the Cariboo vein continues beyond the limits of the property owned by that company (of which there is no doubt) it will run into the claims owned by the McKinney Reef company, and it is for the purpose of developing these claims, thereby catching the lead, that the company acquired the property.

J h^MMM CRAZE EX-PREMIER TURNER RESIGNS Three Victoria Constituencies Left Vacantia The Government May Carry Two���Alien .��.. Exclusion Bill Passes and Receives Assent ! of the Lieutenant-Governor. f Victoria, Jan. 21.���13x-Premier Turner is no match for the Hon. Joseph Martin. The latter is alluring- the white-haired Victoria politician and' his followers into paths of political trouble and they fail to see his purposes The mantle of Machiaveli has fallen ou '��� Fijrhtinj,r.loe's\" shoulders. He has plenty of dash and conrag-e and Speculation. He takes desperate political chances. There is. a very 'strong impression that the attorney- freneral is responsible for the resigning- craze. Members on both sides have resigned, but the resigning government members are in safe constituencies and the resigning opposition in doubtful ones. The result is that the Semlin government has a good chance , 1o get'a safe working majority without dissolution. It is quite possible that the government may win two out of three seats in Victoria, wh^re Messrs. Turner, McPnillips and Hall have all resigned. There was a rumor to the effect that Messrs. Semlin and Hume were going- to tender their, resignations. One because his farm hand sold hay to a government road gang and (the other because some supplies were \\ sold to government employees from ; \\his Nelson store. Now that three Vic-: ���i toria' constituencies have been opened j , nothing is heard regarding the resig- ation of the premier and\" provincial iicretary. ��� tIf the government win. either one or ;'��� jo of the Victoria seats there will be \\ jO redistribution. The Semlin gov- pnient will have a good working raa- .Hty in the house and they will not ike any chances unless forced to do so. Ii-The resignations absorbed the atten- ��� on of the majority of the politicians I'.st week. The 'Alien Exclusion bill : kssed and received the . assent of the VKiitenant-governor. The provisions .>f the act apply only to placer mines, and there is no intention to include quartz mining. Jas. M. Martin, the member for Rossi arid-Boundary Creek, made a forcible speech, approving of the measure, but strongly disapproving of any legislation tending to exclude Americans from locating and de- , veloping quartz niines in the province. The bye-elections in Victoria will be held February 2, nominations three ' days earlier. Messrs. Turner, Hall and McPhillips are again in the field, \"������-,��� :ee to Owen Mellon.

Mr. McLeod, the purchasing agent for the railway contractors is again in the city. Goods are arriving in large quantities and are being stored in the Greenwood warehouse. Owing, to the large number of people coining into the district the vacant houses in Anaconda are being rapidly tenanted. It is almost impossible to get houses or rooms to let in Greenwood. A. T. Kendrick of Northpon, reached Greenwood this week. He is interested in Greenwood real estate and it is possible that the large firm of which he is manager may begin business here. Several lawyers and litigants-went over yesterday to Grand Forks where court was held by Judge Spinks. There are several cases to come up at Greenwood to-dap, one being a jury trial in which D. McVicar issuing Mackenzie, Mann & Co. for breach of contract on the Rawhide tunnel. Thos. Roderick has been doing- an assessment on the Myrtle in Greenwood camp, owned by R. M. McEntire, aud Walter Sterling of Vancouver. A good ore body has been uncovered. The Myrtle is a fractional claim lying between the Old Ironsides and Idaho, is wedge-shaped, about 2oo feet long and 2A'/l feet at its widest point. The fraction may yet prove very valuable, as the ore being taken from the Brooklyn shaft is similar to that in the Ironsides and may be the same ledge. If this proves, true, the Ironsides lead runs through both the Myrtle and the Idaho, C. N. Collins has returned from a business trip to Spokane. Cyril J. Eales is erecting a neat residence on Long Lake street. Mr. Gor- rigau has the contract. The Elkhorn brewery is vatting a: large quantity of beer.

Both petitions are receiving the signatures of every one. The country around Twenty Mile creek, which runs into the Similka- mecn about thirty miles north of Fair- view, has attracted consideracle attention from prospectors. Numerous locations have been made. The ledges are large and assays as high as S300 have been secured. The values are principally in copper. Dr. R. W. Jakes and Dr. Oppen- heimer held a post mortem examination on the remains of F.H.Miller. The doctors came to the conclusion that death was due to apoplexy. The doctors' decision in the matter shows that Mr. Miller did not lose the trail but fell unconscious while endeavoring to reach the Beaver creek camp. W. C.
