Vol L GREENWOOD CITY, B,G, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1896, No, 11, ALL THE WANTS OF MAN From a Needle to an Anchor,\" in Conveniently Arranged Premises, in the Hands of Enterprising Proprietors and Energetic and Courteous Assistants. Until the spring* of 1894 the district from F air view, B.C., on the one side, to Marcus (Wash.) on the other, could not boast of any general store, however primitive. It was in that year that Mr. G. Arthur Rendell started in business on a small scale at Boundary Falls, and is therefore entitled to the honorable distinction of being ranked as the pioneer store-keeper of Boundary Creek. The difficulties that beset such an enterprise in those early days���it is little more than two years ago���were enough to discourage any man not endowed with more than the average possession of patience and pluck. The country was then very sparsely populated and was represented by a few prospectors and a still fewer number of ranchers. Boundary Falls was then the prin- for the convenience of the travelling public, and a ferry had to be called into requisition. The river was at flood, running like a mill race, and a very enjoyable and exciting time Was spent in conveying the goods across. At last the caravan arrived at Boundary Falls, a little the worse for wear and tear, which nevertheless did not affect the sales. Shortly afterwards, in November, 1894, a fairly egood stage road from Penticton to Grand Forks was constructed, and the pack train is now almost a thing of the past,���a reminiscence of the good old times -when the bucking cayuse saved the grocer the labor of mixing sand and sugar in scientific proportions. In the fall of last year Mr. Wood built the log warehouse now forming the rear part of Rendell & Co.'s store and used as a tin shop,���and here, courageously assisted by Mrs. Wood, he sold tea and flour all day, living at the same time in the roughest manner imaginable in a small room partitioned ofF behind. The main building was completed the ' /, THE PIONEER AERCHANTS OF EOUNDARY CREEK. cipal stopping place, and until Mr. Rendell opened his store supplies were ordered and generally packed in on the back of cayuses from Marcus. Mr. Rendell received his first shipment of goods via Penticton. People may \" growl \" now at the delay's and trouble of getting in supplies, but the present conditions are wonderfully convenient when compared with the history of that first consignment. It happened just at the time when the Okanagan river took it into its head to change its bed, and consequently the goods had to be kept at Penticton until a ferry boat was built���^a matter of a month. Then, as the road through Camp McKinney was not completed, the unlucky shipment had to be piloted around by Osoyoos, through the Colville reservation to the mouth of Rock creek, a charge of $15 being made on every wagon for the honor of enjoying the escort of the U.S. customs officer while passing through the territory of the Great Republic. Arriving at\" Ingram's,\" it was found that the bridge had gone out, without the slightest regard early part of this summer, and in March Mr. Rendell and Mr. Smailes entered into partnership arrangements with the original proprietors, since which time the business has been carried oh under the style of Rendell & Go. Rendell & Company's building in Greenwood City is 45 feet long by 32 wide, or including the warehouse behind 75 feet long. As can be seen in our illustration it is a two store}' building, the second floor of which is used as a hall wherein social entertainments and public meetings are, as a rule held. The firm also carry on the branch store at Boundary Falls. Considering the undeveloped condition of the country their store at Greenwood speaks volumes of the faith and enterprise of the firm���though their convictions are shared by every man in the camp. Almost every article likely to be required by customers here is kept in stock, from \"a needle to an anchor,\" from feminine garments wouderful and incomprehensible to the gaze of man to overalls of most uncompromising toughness of material. MM^wi^ii^ THE BOUNDARY GREEK TIMES, MINING NOTES. Work is still being* continued on the Sail Bernard, the shaft being* now down somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 feet.' ���-. T. Walsh went up oh Monday to do assessment work oh the Black Hawk, on Hardy creek. This claim has a big- showing* of mag-netic iron outcropping*. The shaft house on the Old Ironsides has been completed and the whim set in position. Sinking* will commence upon the arrival of a cable which is en route. :.;\". , ������;'i: .. Two shafts have been commenced on the.Tip Top, and another on the Sylvester K., in Greenwood camp. Both claims have g*ood showing's of pyritic copper and iron ore. The second assessment is being* done on the Silent Friend, Ivong* Iyake camp. Samples of ore from this claim have assayed as hig*h as $180. The shaft is now down about 12 feet. The work recently done on the Stin- nysides has greatly enhanced the value of the claim. A few hundred dollars judiciously expended would doubtless prove it a valuable property. Messrs. Gordon and Miller returned this week from prospecting* up the West Fork of Kettle river, where they located one claim some 30 miles to the north of Rock creek. They intend to return to the same locality next spring*. Some g*ood, ore .was broug*ht down this week from the Oak Iveaf, in Wel- ling*ton camp, upon which assessment work is now being* done. The ore was taken from, a depth of four feet and assayed $19 in g*old. Ore from the Anaconda, broug-ht down by F. A. Bielenburg* last week, has been assayed, g-iving* $29.43 for all values : $15.07 gold, 2 9-10 ozs. silver, and 5.76 per cent, copper. The best returns heretofore only slig*htly exceeded $10 for all values. ? Work has been temporarily suspended on the Rambler while the .winter's supplies are being- laid in���a matter of some difficulty owing* to the poorness of the trail leading* to Pass creek, which makes the carrying* up of provisions a slow and tedious process. Mr. T.Brady* the well-known mining* engineer, arrived in camp on last Saturday's stag*e, to report on the Sunset in Deadwood camp, and to make arrang-ements for the development of the claim providing* he is satisfied that the indications are favorable. Mr.. Brady's client has already deposited the money ($16,000) for the bonding* of the property.

GREENWOOD AND VICINITY. Below zero,-was the experience here on Friday morning. When two weddings can be announced in one week���next Sunday and Thursday���it speaks volumes for the progress of the community. Dr. Jakes wishes to express his very sincere thanks to those whoso readily and ably rendered assistance in extinguishing the fire at the hospital. Miss Thornber is energetically solicit- in g subscriptions witli the laudable intention of assisting Santa Claus to furnish aXmas tree for the youngsters on that festive holiday. Mr. J. Mcl^aren, gaoler of the Kamloops penitentiary, has been spending his vacation with relatives at Carson, returning to Kamloops on Thursday in charge of the prisoner Rogers. Tenders have been called for the construction of a 16-foot bridge across the creek, to connect Anaconda with the Deadwood and Copper camp trails. Another bridge near the saw-mill would hot only considerably shorten the distance between Greenwood and Anaconda, but a very much better road than the present one could be opened. Five acres of land have been set apart by Mr. Wood for use as a cemetery. * The location is in every way suitable��� a gently rising slope about a mile north of town and close to the main road. To avoid the possibility of bigoted disputes as to proprietary, rights, consecration and otherwise, the title will be vested in a board of management, in trust, until such time as a municipality is formed. Mr. W. J��t. Medill and sons leave this week for Nanaimo, having finished the season's work in1 Greenwood. Mr. Medill has shown his faith in this town by purchasing lots on Copper street, adjoining Mr. Paton's furniture store, where he has put up0a temporary structure ; he has also bought land near the dam as business premises, and north of town for sand pits. He will return in the spring with his family to reside permanently. Some two months ago Mr. T. Miller, who was then on his way home to New Zealand, decided to break the journey and pay a visit to an old-time friend and fellow-countryman, Mr. Gallowa}7-, now of Greenwood. After spending several weeks in this vicinity and well considering the future prospects of the town, Mr. Miller has decided to remain here permanently and this week purchased lots on Boundary creek, immediately north of the upper bridge. He intends to realize on his property in New Zealand���the fruits of 32 years residence in that distant colony���and will'in the early spring erect a residence here and bring out his son and daughter who are now in Scotland. Between the hours of one and two on Thursda3r' morning the Greenwood hospital was discovered to be on fire by Dr. Jakes. The alarm was at once given, but before a volunteer fire brigade could arrive on the scene, flames were seen issuing from the roof of the building. Fortunately the air was very still, and this, together with the praiseworthy exertions of the volunteers, alone saved the building from total destruction. The damage to the roof and walls is estimated at $1,000, and furniture was destroyed to the value of $500. The origin of the con flagration is not known but it is attributed to a spark from a fire that had been left burning in the grate of one of the rooms on the second floor. Mr. Hart, the contractor, proceeded on the following day to repair the damage. It is the intention of the Midway Townsite Company to expend a sum of $10,000 in improvements next spring. Arrangements are. also being made with a wealthy Milwaukee syndicate for the installation of smelting* works near the town. Iii a deserted cabin on Boundary creek a number of magazines were found dated 1864, in all probability a relic of the placer mining excitement of 30 years ago. ^ Mr. Angus K.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 18%:' < TOPICS FOR THE WBEK. ; We have scriptural assurance���as particularised in the story of the tireless widow who at length worried the judg-e into doing what she wanted of him��� of the efficacy of\" persistency. Yet, goodness knows, the frequent prayers that have offered to the Gov-, ernment for aid to build roads, or even passable trails to the mining camps of this district make, even though we are approaching that joyous season when \" chestnuts \" are considered an appropriate delicacy, further allusion to the subject a matter of hesitation. However, like the artless innocent in the a.dvertisement crying for soap \" We won't be happy till we get it,?'���a de- & ������'������' cent appropriation from the Government wherewith to build into every noteworthy camp a respectable main wagon road. Some of the most promising prospects in Boundary were located this year on Pass creek, and it is imperative that access should be given to this lacality. Messrs. Rendell & Co. took it upon themselves to build and cut a trail to Pass creek, but naturally enough it resembles another and perhaps less trodden path insomuch as it is \" a rough and narrow way.\" More- over-every time it is travelled the trail has to be more or less cleared of fallen timber. It is all very well and, no doubt, very commendable on the part of private individuals to play the role of public benefactors, but when all is said and done, it is a lamentable state of Denmark that the necessity should arise. The Government it is true has done a good deal for us, but considering the potential mineral wealth of the district the judiousness of spending money in road-making thus hastening development might appeal to a less thick-headed body. \" Nagging \" as a means to attain your end is not infrequently wearying to the flesh of all concerned ; it is none the less often extremely effective. It is not so irrelevant as may appear to suggest the advisability of political ly splitting the province in, two. Why should the Interior���from whence the bulk of the revenue, if it is not already, will be derived���be taxed for the purpose of, for instance, \" making Victoria attractive to tourists ? \" It is the mines of Kootenay that are giving the name of British Columbia a familiar sound on Wall Street and on the Iyondon Stock Bxchang*e. It is the mines of Kootenay and Yale that will quadruple the population of the province in less than a few years ; and to bring this about the Government should give the mining* districts every possible assistance and the mining industry every encouragement. But it can hardly be said that it fairly does. Instead the mining industry is very much hampered with heavy taxation. No man can go and work in a mine' (except, it is a coal mine, save the mark!) [ unless he pays five dollars to the Government for /the privilege. The smelter returns are taxed ; a prospector has to pay for his \" certificate of work,\" his\" certificate of ��� improvements,\" his poll tax, and heaven only knows what else. But the miner takes his taxes as he takes his whiskey, without making any faces; still he not unreasonably asks \" If I have to pay the Government to be allowed to work in a mine, or to stake out a piece of ground with a copper stain on the surface, why should I be obliged to employ my time cutting out trails ? \" I^et Kootenay and Yale have their own government with the capital at (say) Nelson/or /?Rossland ; fill the benches with practical mining men. and overlook the lawyers and you will see the country a second Johannesburg in less than two years time, with more legitimate grounds for an excitement than ever South Africa could lay claim to.

Water is being supplied to the Anaconda Hotel from lyind creek. A large furnace is being placed in the basement of the Palace hotel to heat the building with hot air. Miss Hickey and her step-sister arrived at Anaconda on Tuesday from Rockford, Wash., add have taken up their residence in the building formerly occupied by Mr. McDowell. ,'���',' A pair of magnificent Cariboo heads , and also, a goat head, stuffed and setup by Mr. Scott McRae, were purchased by Col. Weir at the time of his last visit, and are to be shipped this week to New York where they will be placed in the office of the palatial Waldorf ���> Hotel. The animals were , shot last spring by Mr. McRae on the North Fork of Kettle river. c Five men are now working* on the No. 7 trail tinder Mr. Hind's superintendence. The work will probably be completed by next Tuesday.- The slope which is very steep from the creek to the No. 7 will be given a wagon-road grade, and other improvements not at first contemplated are to be done to the road. It is estimated that by the new trail the distance from Anaconda to No. 7 camp will be five miles, and to Central camp about six miles. A series of entertainments will be given-.this winter by the \"Boundary Creek Entertainers \" to create a fund for the purpose of purchasing instruments for a brass band. The club has; at present fifteen members from different parts ot.' the district, including Greenwood, Anaconda and Boundary Falls. At a meeting* the other day ���Mr. Miller, of Anaconda, was appointed chairman-; Mr. Wilbur,; secretary ; and Mr. I^aw\"., treasurer; who will act with Messrs. H. Wright, J. H. Mitchell, R. N.

On the 14th inst. a society, henceforward to be known as the Anaconda Commercial Club, was organized with a membership of twenty-one.' Mr. T. Hardy was elected the first president and treasurer; Mr. *L,aw, vice-president; and Mr. Miller, secretary. A committee as follows was then appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws : Messrs. Hind, lyawder, Hard3r and Law. After making arrangements for the construction of the trail to White's camp the meeting\" adjourned until Tuesday of this week. The objects of the organization as set forth in the constitution are \" the furtherance of the commercial and social intersts, and for the advancement of all enterprises having for their object the benefit of the town and vicinity.\" In addition to the ordinary duties of secretary, Mr. Miller has pledged himself to correspond weekly with the leading newspapers of Canada and the States with special reference to mining development on Boundary creek. The show place The crosscut at the 130 foot level on the No. 7 from what is known as the No. 7 ledge to connect with the big* quartz ledge has now been run 25 feet. The distance between the two ledges is supposed to be from 70 to 100 feet. Ore from t the quartz ledge assa3^ed as high, as $500, taken from the New York, the neighboring claim.

The deceased had been ill from Brig-ht's disease for some time, and for several weeks previous to his death had been under Dr. Jakes' treatment. Up to Frida)' last hopes were entertained of his recovery, but alarming* symptoms suddenly developed in the afternoon and the patient gradually grew worse until five o'clock when the end came. As far as can be ascertained, the deceased had no relatives in this country but a letter was found in his pocket from a brother living\" in Chester-le- street, iDngland, who has been communicated with, George Taylor was 28 years of ag-e and came to British Columbia some five years ago. Soon after his arrival he settled on a pre-emption near White lake, but moved last summer on to a piece of land on Myers' creek. Personally he was of, a quiet disposition, though making many friends, and when his illness first took a serious turn acquaintances in Midway generously subscribed a sum sufficient for his removal to the hospital, where he might receive proper care and nursing. The funeral, which took place on Sunday, was largely attended, people from Midway, .Boundary Falls and Anaconda being* present at the impressive service held at the hospital by the Rev. Mr! Irwin (of Midway), and following the funeral corteg;e to the cemetery. The following acted^as pall-bearers : Messrs. Robt. Wood, R. Smailes, R. N, Taylor, T. Hardy, T. McAuley and J. McNicol. A POPULAR APPOINTMENT. We have to congratulate ourselves and Mr. McMynu on his appointment to two offices, viz., Registrar of the County Court at Midway and representative of the local Board of Health. The first of these appointments at any rate was very necessary and will save the public an infinite amount of trouble and delay ; the second is equally important. Mr. McMynn, in his capacity as board of health officer, has already taken steps to establish a sanitary state of affairs in the towns of the district. Until visited by the sanitary inspector, Rossland was in a deplorably unsanitary condition, and much of the sickness in that place during the early part of the year and also last summer was due to this fact tions under i rigidly enforced in Boundary' before the towns assume the proportions of cities, is a matter for congratulation.

WILL CONSTRUCT TO BOUNDARY. Charters were obtained last winter by the Spokane and Columbia Telephone and Telegraph Company, both from the Dominion government and from the Washing-ton state legislature, giving* the necessary rig-hts for the construction arid operation of a telephone and telegraph line from Spokane to Rossland and from Rossland to Trail arid to other mining* centres of southern British Columbia. It was proposed to stretch the lines as follows : Spokane to Marcus, 101 miles ; Marcus to Northport, 28 miles; Northport to Rossland, 16 miles ; Rossland to Trail, 7 miles; Grand Forks to Midway, 28 miles ; Midway to Camp McKinney, 32 \" .miles. - ' . \"V;. '<��� During* the past year the Company have been unable to effectually carry out their plans owing\" to insufficiency of capital, but this drawback can no longer.interfere--'.with' the consummation of the project, a Mr. Mclvaug*hlin of Toronto, having* acquired a control- i ling- interest in the company and established it on a sound financial basis. The greater part of the line from Marcus to Spokane is completed, and,construction has been commenced on the. line between Rossland and Trail. The lines into the Kettle' river and Boundary creek districts will probably not be built until next spring. The company has been re-organized, with Mr. Mclaughlin as president, with a capital of $125,000. GULLIBILITY OF EASTERN INVESTORS. While in Montreal Mr. A. K. Stuart was introduced\" to the brokers who were entrusted with the sale of the Coolgar- die Mi/Urig Compan3r's stock. These gentienlen informed him that the now notorious McCullock had cleverly succeeded in \"pulling the leg \" of several prominent brokers there, making quite a tidy sum by giving them options on blocks of stock. As an instance of the gullibility of the small investor in so- called mining stock, Mr. Stuart said that a firm of Montreal brokers had actually succeeded in floating a company arid were selling stock although, the while not owning even a prospect. When they had sold sufficient stock they intended to buy a property, they said. Their prospectus, of course, contained a glowing account of the richness of the British Columbia mines, and repeated allusions were made to the LeRoi, War l��agle, etc., etc. At any rate the bait was greedily swallowed. If there is no law to put a stop to.this sort of thing, there should be. A GOOD INVESTMENT. An object lesson in prospect values was afforded the other day in the sale of the G-rev-hound, Deadwood camp. The claim was first staked some four yrears ago by Scott McRae who, after representing it for two years, abandoned it. It was then re-staked by K. P. Suydam, who sold it for $100; to W. J. Harris and F. Watson last spring. These latter recently received $10,000 for the property, the purchaser being a Mr. Anstey. Since Mr. McRae did his assessments the Greyhound has really not appreciated in value on its own merits ; this is simply a happy indication of the estimation in which Boundary Creek is now held from the point of view of the \"outside\" investor J.

The tunnel is now in over 90 feet on the Mother Lcode, 50 feet in ore. The result of development now under way on the S. H. B., a property of the Boundary'Creek M. &. M. Co., is proving* most satisfactory to the mariage- ment. ? ��� Arrangements are being* made by Mr. Campbell, of Vancouver, for the bonding* of the Brooklyn, in Greenwood camp. Mr. T. Birady visited the property, on Wednesday to make a report for his principals!. ? A contract has been let for 300 feet of work on a group of claims owned b3r a Spokane company in Wolf's camp, Curlew lake. On one of the properties where a shaft was sunk, the ore increased in value from $3 to $16. The so-called \" Prospector's Handy Smelter \" with'which Mr. W. W. Gibbs has recently been experimenting on the Snowshoe, is after all likely to prove workable. The trial was made under most disadvantageous conditions and could hardly be considered in the light of a fair test. Mr. Gibbs is satisfied that the smelter is quite -what the manufacturers represented it to be, and that when the furnace has been lined with brick, which is necessary, the plant can be made at any rate to successfully treat the Snowshoe or any other snlphide ore. to The Snowshoe ore is self fluxing, containing as it does hematite iron, lime, quartz and copper, which latter can be graded to about 10 per cent. In the spring a brick building, roofed with tin, will be erected over the smelter, and the owners expect to make a sufficient sum out, of treating* the ore to pay for developing their property. If the smelter is not a \" fake \" this will be no difficult matter, the Snowshoe ore running higher than is usually found in connection with so enormous a body. / ODD-FELLOWSHIP. A meeting was held in Rendell & Co.'s hall on Thursday evening to discuss the matter of organizing a lodg*e of Odd-fellows in the Boundary Creek district. Mr. Thos. Hardy of Anaconda presided, and in a few words laid the question before those present. There were, he said, about 20 members of the order residing between Greenwood and Midway, nearly all of whom were anxious that a local lodg*e be formed, to meet at some convenient point in this district. He himself was a member of Carson lodge and, as was the case with several others, found it impossible to attend the meetings. He had no doubt that a very strong lodge could be started and carried on successfully. Mr. D. Mclyaren, of Carson, who was present as a visitor, then gave statistics as to the cost of starting* his own lodge and explained in what way a considerable expense could be avoided here which was unavoidably incurred by them. After some informal discussion the following were appointed committees to ascertciin the names of all who were willing to join a lodge, if started, and to report at a meeting* to be held next Saturday evening : For Anaconda and south���Messrs. T. Hardy and IU. Y. Birnie ; for Greenwood and vicinity- Messrs. A. B. Hart, T. M. Gulley and W�� J. Harber. It may be mentioned, that there are in the district six members belonging to the Vernon lodge. There is to be a Christmas tree and celebration on Anarchist mountain for the school children of that locality.���'. aoncnsoKKsan Dissolution of Partnership, HOTICE is hereb3r g-iven, that the partnership heretofore existing- between Frank Wood and J.
