[The Greenwood Weekly Times]
BC Historical Newspapers
The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day.

Copper St. Greenwood. 3 Some men can accurately size up a situation in a short space of time; others with strong prejudices and stronger admiration for their own narrow views cannot appreciate or realize the rapid progress and development that is going on around them. Paul Johnson knew what he was talking about when he made the statement that near Greenwood - were bigger mines than in Butte. To prove this statement he had only to point to the great Mother Lode. Each day's development work on this wonderful property reveals new wealth. Last week the railway graders ran through 40 feet of ore on the Primrose ground, adjoining the Mother"Lbde, and owned by the B. C. Copper company. Surveys made since have clearly-demonstrated that the railway had cut through the Mother L,dde-vein which runs into the Primrose about 700 feet south of the main_ shaft. From the shaft the work has been continued northerly 500 feet; showing conclusively that the pay ore runs at least 1,200 feet along the vein. From this strike on the Primrose the ore can be quarried into the cars on the track. If no other ore were available for thjg big smelter, enough pay ore can be quarried -to furnish at least 100" tons a day. But there is no scarcity-of ore "at the' Mother Lode. The last 80 ffeet of the north drift 'on the 200-foot level is solid pay cie. It --)���> vey the line will begin to ascend the hill near the Elkhorn brewery. .It jyi'l gradually ascend, passing near " the Last Chance mine and then on to Phoe-. nix. The distance from Deadwood" street to Phoenix by the surveyed, route is seven miles, and the grade will nowhere be more than seven.' oeYv rent. The cost of construction will be-" much less than was at first' supposed. *-" There is very little heavy woritthe-ea.Vr^j'* V tire distance. The line is sure'to do' aTS* .- large business, not only in canying-Sl' passengers and freight, but also in carrying ore from such properties as the Last Chance which are situated avjay from the railway or branches. (trq "1 �������� cr ���-4 pj ��< .'. CO m >tf THE STOCK MARKET. Okanagan Free Gold Fields in Demand���Other Stocks. In consequence of the declaration of a dividend by the Okanagan F-ree Gold company, there is some demand locally for the company's shares. The week has been a quiet one among the brokers. A few thousand B. C. M. & level is solid pay cie will .uerage $25 to $30 in'all'v ilues. Thia is not in pockets but is everj- inch pay ore. .Paul Johnson was right. He expects to find big mines where* he finds them .and js^ not' prejudiced against Boundary Creek/ Other people��� rwho7rbelieve-<-th.at the-.i-i^.-'niines must be away from home, snarl and whine ^vhen the'''"truth is tol'l "The Vancouver '- News-Advertiser ,-orres- pondent ma3'. succeed in keep.

"Greenwood is going to be a'larger city than Butte.'" Paul Johnson said so and he knows. The Midway correspondent ought to cheer up. The Mother Lode itself will need' another smelter, if a limit to its "ore bodies'is not soon reached. There are going' to be' smelters all the way down Boundary creek, and some >vill go to Midway unless they are driven back by the verbose wisdom of the man who cannot appreciate the possibilities of the district in which he resides.

The committee on resoluHons reported'unfavorably to the resolution, but it was strongly supported by several of the western delegates, and finally it was decided to refer the subject back to the committee on resolutions.

Phoenix is.the natural outgrowth of the development of the mines in Greenwood camp. The emploj-ment of a large number of men by the Old Ironsides, Knob Hill, Dominion Copper and other companies was certain to build up a town of more or less importance adjacent to the mines. The several hundred men earning good wages had to live near the mines in the absence of speedy and cheap means for carrying them a distance to and from their work. "Where so many men are congregated hotels and business houses were sure to follow. Geo. W. Rumberger a pioneer of the camp was the first to take advantage of these conditions. He secured the surface rights for some of his claims, subdivided into lots and placed them on the market. The demand was good and many lots -were sold at , good figures. ��� t Further up the hill from the present town, J. B.'McArthur of Columbia has subdivided the New York claim!, ��� This property has the advantage of a <>g-ood supply of water. A small lake that has been sounded' to the depth of 175 without touching botton, is situated on the claim. The New-York property if it never secures any of the ��� business portion will always fcc in demand '.for residental property by those -who are anxious to live near the mines. ��� " i " The Old f Ironsides "- company -have refused to sell any real estate.--' THey have not yet determined what ground and how much they may need for their mining operations' and as mining is their first consideration ' they 'have wisely refused to, part with any " of their surface rights. - They have" built a dozen next cottages for 'the use of their men - apd "are building a large bunk house that will accommodate '200 men.'

J Electric Power in Mining. Edward Bellamy in his "Looking Backward" saw many exhibitions of electrical power, which are now so common that they fail to excite even more.-than a passing glance, or command more than a moment's thought, It is now in the power of those who have the means at command to gratify their desires, and add to their comfort, to touch a "button" at their bedside in the morning, light their kitchen fire, heat their dressing room, dispel the darkness from their apartment,awaken servants and attendants and, within a few minutes, enjoy an artistically cooke'd breakfast, and ride to his place of business upon an atomobile, without the scent of coal smoke upon his raitnant or the suspicion of dust upon his electrically brushed shoes, hat and eoat. ��� k . What electricity has done and is doing in man's domestic economy, it is doing, or may, do in simplifying and facilitating , operations in mine, mill, sampling and reduction works. What is being done���in that direction is thus spoken of .by-Thomas Tonge in his contribution to the Mining and Engi neering- Journal. He said: "Cripple Creek.is, perhaps, the only gold mining district in,the world where a miner can go toihis work in an electric street car, descend the mine in an electric hoistj-keep his mine dry by an electric pumpj do his work by an electric light, run drills operated by electric air compressors (possibly, in time to be superceded by direct electric drills) and fire shots, by electricity from ^.'switchboard remote from.the,point of explosion." _ The*directions in which" electric power may be effectively employed in minning cannot yet. be, hardly, approximately measured or" pointed out. If an electric hoist can take,a man Tto his underground level, and an electric air compressor operate his>drills,* why cannnot an electric shot break the rock, an electric appliance dump it into the electric'hoist, an electric engine -.raise it to the surface to be carried byi.aii' electric power to ,the reduction - works run by electricity? Legitimate speculations upon what electric power may do in mining operations is a waste of ink or_words, for we are living in a day and generation when "truth is stranger than fiction." An. exchange intimates that in the Cripple Creek district the ,use of electric power effects a saving of "IS to, SO per cent, according - to the location and conditions of the mine. Electric power-is revolutionizing the Cripple Creek mining industry in reducing expenses, increasing profits, and,making low grade ores available which, hitherto, were discarded as incapable of being treated at a profit. What electrical power, has done for Cripple Creek, it may do for every other minings center or camp in the great northwest. And it will be done in the not distant future.-irWestern Mining World.

Duncan Ross Editor. W. J. Harber Manager. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1899. ELECTORS REGISTER. In the current "issue of the British Columbia Gazette, there appears a notice to the effect that a Court of Revision will be held by John Kirkup, collector of votes for the Rossland riding. -'As the old list has not been cancelled in this district, the Court of Revision is not of very great importance to the public. It ought to remind them, however, that it is important that their names should appear on the provincial voters' list. Under amendments made at the last session of the Dominion parliament, the provincial lists will be used in all future federal elections. Any elector without his name on the provincial list will be disfranchised both in pro vincial and federal elections. Outside of the importance attached to a man's right to exercise his franchise, there is another consideration.- A large voter's list gives a city or district a prestige in public matters it cannot otherwise obtain. It would be idle to approach a government demanding increased representation and greater consideration with a small voters' list. There are 300 men in Greenwood fully qualified whose names do not appear on the provincial voters' list. There are 1,000 qualified men in Boundary Creek who are not registered. The district never can secure justice if electors fail to show their strength. Every man should be registered. The qualification is a simple one. A man must be 21 years of age, a British subject, reside six months in the province and two in the district to entitle him to vote. < Some cities attach so much importance to representation that the city council pays canvassers so much for each name they get placed on the roll. Mining companies operating in the district could render valuable assistance in this'work by- seeing- that- the qualified men ' in " their employ are registered. In two weeks an average of 100 passengers a day will come to Greenwood. Many of them will be men seeking investment. First impressions are often lasting. The streets to the business portion of the city from the station should be made the best in the city. A smooth street to ride over and a wide sidewalk to walk over is a great relief after a long railway trip. The annual report of the Bank of British North America, published elsewhere, makes interesting reading. The chairman's reference to the progress and development of different parts of the country cannot but impress the British investor. The Bank of B. N. A. should prove a splendid advertising agent in the old country. Every voter should appoint himself a committee of one to see that every other voter is on the list.

The first clean-up has been made by the .Okanagan Free Gold Fields, and Mr. S! Thornton Lang-ley,has returned to Rossland with two bricks of gold which are the result of the clean-up. The bricks were this afternoon lying on the desk in Mr. J. S. C. Fraser's office, in the Bank of Montreal, and looked very tempting.- The value of the bricks has not been made public. The directors have declared a dividend of 5 .per cent., equal to one-quarter of'a cent a share, which will be paid Octo-, ber ISth. Mr. Langley says the mine is looking very well and many new leads of good ore are being encountered constantly.

PURE WATER SUPPLY. The lots fronting on Main street in "Phoenix run back -to Twin creek. The majority of the buildings including hotels have their back-yards and outhouses on this stream. All the refuse is dumped at the rear and necessarily the greater portion finds its way into the stream. There is a rather well established theory that water purifies itself in distance, but Twin creek under present conditions could -travel one "hundred miles from Phoenix and yet not reach Greenwood uncontamin- ated. From Phoenix to the Greenwood reservoir is scarcely more than four miles. The water of Twin creek must be full of impurities. Still Greenwood people use it. The public interest demands that no time should be lost in making provision for a larger and purer supply of water for domestic purposes. Since the above was written, Dr. Schon, medical health officer, has asked the Times to warn the people against using Twin creek water for drinking, purposes. The doctor has been to Phoenix lately and is simply disgusted with the state of affairs, from a sanitary point of view. He has no jurisdiction outside the city, but is doing what he can in the city. The doctor has given instructions that water carts must draw their supplies from Boundary creek. The residents of the city should follow Dr. Schon'sad vice and avoid Twin creek water. W.' T. Smith and Thos. McDonnell left for Spokane on Wednesday. ���- They had with them the big exhibit for the Spokane fruit fair. A. D. McLennan, of Trail, has opened Keough's hotel on Government street.

One would almost suppose however, that loyal' patriotic conser- ..' vatives would discardp'arty politics for the nonce and lend their support to a government under whose administration the country is rapidly recovering from 18' years' of misrule and mismanagement.

Mining1 stocks particularly'have'a habit of running up^ several points when there is nothing to justify such a course, and they come tumbling- down when they ought to have an upward tendency. A few weeks ago Morribon stock that had always been a prime favorite with local buyers, began to go down without any apparent cause. Still it went down to 14 cents and then came up again to~its position of 18 or 19 cents. The general ' public couldn't offer any explanation for the decline. The mine never looked "better. -Each"day's' development revealed new riches. The cause for the decline was a simple one. Some months ago1,when MorrisQn- stock was selling for about 10 cents, a couple of capitalists "thought they would take a chance and bought some' 160^000 sliares.' , Afew weeks ago" something else took their fancy,'and they wanted the money they ^invested in' Morrison. Their, shares * were placed on the market and all sold. I,ittle -wonder, that Morrison wept down temporarily. ' ' -f " - '��� Tfte stock has regained its old position however. If should and will go higher. , it *i* impossible to j visit the property, ���View the "big- ledges andvwell defined -Walls, examine the rich iron ore and l.not be'eonvinced that the Morrison is destined to become a big mine.-. ��� - " ,<\* The property is situated in Dead" Wood camp, about four miles from the * jfcity.~vlt.was* located5 some' years ago by Jack "Morrison." He did some sur- .���face work, exposing promising looking bodies "of ore. -^A company with a capitalization"of $1,000,000 was organized'to develop it. Spokane capitalists including Messrs. Oliver and Loring *secured" control, and decided upon a .more vigorous policy. F. H. Oliver, the -'manager,'1 had the plant removed from the Athelston, ,in Wellington camp, -Vand installed on the Morrison.- A tunnel was started on Copper'creek to run *into the" teteep jhill.- Ninety feet from .'"fhe~ mouth a vein of iron ore was encountered and 'crosscut 12 feet.

The vein was crosscut for 73 feet when the hanging wall was reached. No better defined walls can be found anywhere. There is at least 18 inches of talke on the footwall. At a point 400 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, an upraise was made to the surface, a distance of 160 feet. The ore is iron, carrying pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. The -73-foot vein will average $12 in gold and 3 per cent copper. Like all large veins, it has rich pockets that will give much higher gold values. On the surface too, other veins besides those crosscut in the tunnel have been ^exposed. Surface values Irom one of , these gave $5 to'$6 in gold and as high as 14 per cent copper. The other is a well defined vein of specular iron, giving good values. Since, installing the small plant, about a year ago, over 1,000 feet of work in the tunnel, upraise and drifts has been done on the property. Mr. Oliver has purchased av four-drill compressor plant from the Cariboo company of .Camp McKinney. Freight . teams are now hauling it to the mine. It will be installed in ten days. Drifting on the big ore vein will then be commenced. The drift will be continued both ways. This will necessarily mean an output oof a large quantity of pay ore. There are good facilities for shipping. The branch line now runs within a half mile of the property. The C. P.-R. have surveyed a spur into the mine and will build the same before the. mine is ready to ship. At the face of the tunnel a depth of 240 feet feet is secured. It is the intention to sink a winze another 100 feet and drift and crosscut at this level. Fresh pork sausage daily at Burns' meat market. KETTLE RIVER MINING DIVISION.

Rossland, September 24.���With reference to a statement that has been made outside of Rossland, that the War Eagle mine has been made to contribute to the running powers of the Centre Star at a sacrifice to the former property, the manager, Mr. Kirby, stated that only power not required in the War Eagle was used in 'the Centre Star from the War Eagle plant. Owing to the conditions of the big electric compressor in the War Eagle, that mine will probably receive additional power from the Centre Star plant if it is required. The management is placing five compressors on the Centre Star ground with an average capacity of seven drills each, and the^e will be utilized until the new Centre Star compressor is finally erected.

The general 'meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of British North America was held at the offices of the corporation, Clements'' L/ane, London, E. C, on Tuesday. ��� Mr. E. A. Hoare presided, the other directors being Mr. J. H.'Brodie, Mr. Gaspard Farrer, Mr. Richard H. Glyn, Mr. I. J., Kingsford, and Mr. Frederic Lubbock. The secretary, Mr. A. G. Wallis, having read the notice calling the meeting. ��� The chairman moved the reception and adoption of the report and balance sheet. He said in the course of his" speech: - - "The balance sheet in our opinion reveals satisfactory progress combined with' a thoroughly sound position, and in order to substantiate this statement I will compare our present figures with those of the corresponding period of 1898, for in this way I think we arrive at a truer 'comparison*��� than ' by placing the figures side by side with those of the half year immediately preceding. Dealing first with our liabilities���the deposits on the 30th of June, 1899, compared with those of the 30th of June, 1898, show, an increase of ,��178,000. The notes in circulation show an increase of .��31,000. This increase amounts to more 'than 10 per cent, in the year, and is owing not only to "general trade activity throughout the Dominion, but also to���the opening of our new branches in the far north. The bills payable show an increase of ,��237,000, and these figures appear likely to increase still further, as we find an increasing demand for our acceptances in New York, due I have no doubt, to the excellent credit which this bank has always enjoyed in that city. Turning to our assets, the cash and specie in hand show an increase of ��59,000; and here I would particularly draw your attention to the fact that the cash and specie amounting to ��568,000 are in the ratio of 40 per cent, to our immediate liabilities, that is to say, to the current and deposit accounts payable on demand and to the notes in circulation. This, you will agree with me, is a thoroughly sound position. The cash at call and short notice, amounting to ,��1,233,000, shows an increase of ��435,000. As regards our investments, the consols remain a constant quantity, but our other investments are ��9,000 lower than they were a year ago. "The increase in every department of our business has resulted in increased profits. For. the half year ended June .30th, 1898, the profits amounted ��29,519 13s. 10d., while for the half year ' now, concluded they' amount ��33,540 3s. 3d;, an increase of ��3,030 10s. 5d.; and this result has been obtained after making a very ample provision, not only forbad debts, but for every account respecting which we feel the least doubt or hesitation. From last half year we brought into the account the sum of ��5,036, and' we are now carrying forward to next half year ��i0,288. ��� These figures are somewhat larger than those to which' we have been accustomed-���our object being the further building up of .our reserve fund at the end of our financial' year, an object which we must keep steadfastly before us. After the last annual' meeting, wlien by the appropriation of 15,000 pounds we brought the reserve fund up to 300,000 pounds, it was suggested to us by one or two of the shareholders that, having reached El Creposculo, Por Larranaga, Benjamin Franklin, Manuel Garcia, Alonza El Ecuador Bock and Africana La Flor De R'Fulton ^uiiiUiUiiiuuuiUiUiuuuuuiiaiiiiUUiiaiUiuu4UiiuiUiiiiuuiiiiiiia>auiaauiauiUiiiiia^ ..Turkish and Egyptian..

A, MUNSON, matter in an arbitrary way out substantial grounds."- In making his budget statement, the Dominion minister pointed out that the total trade of Canada had increased from $24,000~000 in 1894 to 5304,000,000 in 1898. The chairman in following the finance minister's example and comparing their own figures of Jhne 30th, 1894, with the'present, said: "On the former date our total 'liabilities ��� amounted to 4,260,000 pounds, whereas they amount to 6,053,000, or an increase of 33 per cent. During the same period what have we been able to do for our reserve fund? We have added to it only 25,000 pounds, or an increase of less than 10 per cent. During the period under review banking has been by no means uniformly profitable; not only have we been unable to add to our reserve fund at all during some of these^years, but we'were even compelled to reduce our dividend, so that our reserve fund has not keptpace with the increase of our liabilities. It must, however, be evident to you, as it is to us, that with a constant increase in our liabilities it is manifestly our duty, to continue to build up our reserve fund, and we hope at the conclusion of the financial year, if our business continues to prosper, we may be'able to take a" further step in that direction."., J After'referring to tho general trade prosperity in Quebec province, the chairman proceeded: ' . ������ "The contribution required from each bank is a sum equal to 5 per cent, of its 'average , note circulation. The fund is under the control of the minister of ffnance, and bears interest at the rate of 3 per cent, jjer annum; and it is further provided the payment of the notes issued and in circulation shall constitute a first charge upon the assets of a bank in case of its insolvency. Now, it appeai.s tojme that this is a reasonable proviso,' and one that should make the position of all the contributory banks perfectly secure, fo"r it must be a yery bad case indeed where the total assets of a bank, on realization,"fail -to produce a sum sufficient to redeem its notes in' circulation, seeing that it is provided by sec-' tion 51 of the act that the total amount of such^ notes in circulation at any time shall< not exceed the amount of the 'unimpaired, paid-up capital of the bank;'- but'-Tierein lies the danger, for it has been ascertained by independent investigation that, in the case of one' of thebanks which ���have recently suspended, this section of the act has not been complied with. The bank' had issued notes in excess of its nominal capital,- although it was evident at the time, and for some time previously, that the capital was not 'unimpaired,' and1' consequently, the sum to be redeemed as the first charge upon the assets of the bank, wh'en realized, is considerably larger than the was contemplated by the f ramers of the act. I do not express any opinion respecting the realization of the assets, and I trust that they may prove sufficiently valuable to meet this first charge upon them, in which case the fund will not ultimately be called upon to bear any loss; but should-the assets of the bank referred to realize less than the sum required to redeem the notes in circulation, then the loss will fall upon the fund���that is, upon the banks generally. "The situation thus created is, therefore, one that appears to call for careful consideration by the government of Canada, and I am glad to learn that a representative of the government has already been in communication with members of the Bankers' Association, with the object of thoroughly inquiring into the matter, and-listening to any suggestions. The two banking institutions which have suspended payment were comparatively unimportant, and although the consequences must be inconvenience and loss to the customers and depositors, which is much to be regetted, the incident will cause no disturbance amongst the community generally. -The only way in which we can ourselves suffer any-loss thereby may be as contributors in common with all the Canadian banks to the banks circulation redemption fund." ��� The bountiful harvest in the northwest was referred to by the chairman as a point of special interest, inasmuch as if garnered in good condition it means prosperity to Canada. Passing on to the mineral wealth of British Columbia he said: "The produce of the Rossland mines during 1898 amounted to 116,000 tons or ore, valued at $2,800,000, as compared with 68,000 tons in 1897, from which $2,100,000 was obtained,' thus showing an increase of $700,000, or 33 per cent, in a year. As in every other field, there are good and bad mines jn the Kootenays; but it is interesting to notice that whereas in the first n' stance our friends from across the line were the pioneers of this district, "the Canadians themselves have recently been actively engaged, and have invested considerable in the purchase and development of rr^mising properties, while I need n jt inform you that there has also boen a large expenditure of capital drawn from this country. The result has been a great growth inithe,p6pulation of Rossland; and as the city has increased, so has the business increased, likewise. This is not, however," at the present'time entirely to -our own advantage���for whereas in early days we had only one other bank as a competitor in'Ross- land, there are now no less than five,_ and business naturally becomes subdivided; but if the complete develop ment of the mines proves successful��� and many -who are qualified to form an opinion, appear now to have a little doubt of this���the business of this city and district should so largely increase in the next few years that there may well be enough for us all. "As, your are .aware, vre have five branches established in the mining districts of British Columbia. We hope that they may all become profitable and permanent, but it is yetr too early,to express a decided opinion on each of these branches. We shall give them all'a fair trial, and in ,>the event of disappointment, we shall not hesitate to withdraw before any serious expenditure has been incurred, -as we have already thought it prudent to do at Slocan. " "Finally,Imust refer to the branches which we - have established in those northern goldfields. You will "have noticed'from the report that since our last meeting .we have opened-branches in Atlin and Bennett. TheV former place is the center of a goldfield -which a year ago excited no little enthusiasm. I think it is-doubtful whether,the fair promise of early days has been maintained; but, at the same time, we have felt that the possibilities of this country are great, and although 'there may have been" a certain measure of disappointment in the results thus far obtained, we have felt from the-evidence which has come before us, that'the was reasonable ground for opening a branch there. Bennett is a place where a considerable business is being' transacted: It is a'sort'of half--way'house to Dawson City, andhas developed into quite a business town. Should the railway-be ultimately carried'-."tight through to "Dawson, ,its Limportance may consequently be diminished, and we have not been unmindful of this point in opening our branch there; but nevertheless, the position has seemed to us to be worthy of a trial. Passing through Bennett we come to our- most distant point in Dawsou City. I need not tell you that your directors have experienced'-a time of considerable anxiety respecting our branch there since we last met you. owing to the great conflagration which recently took place in that city by which our premises were entirely destroyed. Our manager has estimated the loss to the bank as not exceeding $5,000, but I am not even yet in a position to confirm those figures. "You will see that the expenses'of rebuilding in Dawson City and and of securing suitable premises both in Atlin and Bennett must be heavy. We feel that we cannot rely upon steel vaults or any other substitute for solid masonry as a protection against these disastrous conflagrations. There are no bricks in ^ the country, which consequently have to be imported at an enormous cost, of which you will be able to form a more clear opinion when I tell you the freight on bricks to Atlin was recently quoted at $100 per / I >s 4* 4- 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* 4- 4- 4- 4* 4* 4* 4* 4- 4* 4- 4* 4- 4* 4- 4* 4*4-4* 3? * * * * * The Best Beer In Town Is Made by The ASK HARTIKCER ��� &P0RTMANN* Proprietors. ��� ��� *5* The Elkhorn Imager Beer contains only pure Malt and Hops.

"The future of Atlip is perhaps still in the balance, but there is no doubt whatever about Dawson; the gold is there, and it has been estimated by a high authority that this season's production will not be less than $40,000,- 000. This is- a very large total, and we secure our fair share of the business attaching to such an industry; so that if we have been compelled in the first place to run a risk and thereafter to incur a heavy expenditure in order to avoid such risk in the future, we may hope for an adequate remuneration return." ������ The.chairman spoke of the loss the bank has sustained by the death of Mr. Jeffery Penfold, who spent a lifetime in the service of the bank, and was for no less than twenty years manager of that important branch in Montreal. In conclusion he formally moved that the report and balance-sheet be received and adopted. Mr. J. X. Kingsford seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. This concluded the business.���Canadian Gazette, * - GREENWOOD Floor, Feed,Produge i Dealers1 in Hay, Grain, Potatoes, Butter, Eggs, etc, J't ot A'e, Jfc ' ^ -?Af "ft* -Jn.6, HEAVY WAGON 'SCALES IN CONNECTION WITH OUR BUSINESS Silver Street, Greenwood.

THE WINNIPEG AND GOLDEN CROWN Six Feet of Rich Ore Struck on the 300-Foot Level on the Winnipeg���The Railway Cut a Big Ledge on the Golden Crown. This has been a week of big strikes in Boundary Creek. First it was the Mother Lode and now at the Winnipeg and Golden Crown new wealth has been discovered. The railway is responsible for the new strike on the Golden Crown, while development work al the 300-foot level on th* Winnipeg has exposed a large vein of high grade ore. Two hundred feet from the main shaft on the Winnipeg a crosscut ran through a six-foot ledge of solid ore. This ore is apparently the best that has been taken from the mine. It averages between S60 and 870. The vein can be traced on the surface and Mr. Mcintosh the superintendent was anxious to secure it on the lower level. He has at last succeeded in doing so but bigger and richer than it was on the surface. It is impossible to estimate the ad- ditioua! value, such a big body of high grade ore will add to the 'Winnipeg mine. {The vein is solid and well defined. Mr. Mcintosh and Geo. H. Collins of the Golden Crown were discussing the big strike on the Winnipeg when Mr. Collins remarked that the railway could do nothing for them in the shape of making new strikes, Mr. Mcintosh agreed with him. The surface had been prospected throughly on both properties and there was no. chance of the railway uncovering any new ledges. But the most experienced mining men may be inistakeni The two mining men proceeded to the railway grade to be astonished to find the whole face of the cut on the Golden Crown in solid pyrrhotite. The.cut is at least 25 feet wide. The railway passes through the property to the rear of the shaft house where Mr. Collins believed there were no ore bodies. GREENWOOD AND DISTRICT.
