[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.

No. 45 Boundary Ore Shipments for the Six Months Ending June���Better Than Last Year, but Not Up to the Estimate���Outlook for the Year. Boundary is rich in expectations. It haa already demonstrated that it is easily the largest producer of copper ore'of all mining districts in British Columbia, but notwithstanding this good showing it is still richer in ^expectation than in actual tonnage shipped. The fault lies not in the district itself but in outside influences which combine to restrict the output of the big mines. Last year the natural output of the Boundary mines should have exceeded 650,000 tons, but when the year ended the tonnage had passed the half million mark by only some seven thousand tons. The shortage in the 'estimated output was due to the serious accident and strike at Fernie, which closed the smelters for several weeks and kept them often running half their furnaces for the balance of the year. Since the'dreadful accident at Fernie in May, 1902, the smelters have practically lived from hand to mouth so far as a fuel supply is concerned. Last year closed with a total tonn?ge of 507,811 tons, a remarkable showing, and one which easily led any of the other mining districts of the province. Just as the tonnage of last year should have been 6S0,000*tons,at the beginning of the year the statement that the million dollar mark would be reached would not have looked unreasonable. But man proposes and the Crow's Nest. ���Coal company, disposes. :<At the.'beginning of the year it looked as if the capacity of the Boundar3'��� smelters, would reach 3000 tons a clay. The Granby smelter had already four furnaces established with a capacity of 1500 tons a day; the B. C. Copper company's smelter had two with a capacity of 700, and the Sunset smelter has one ���with a 300-ton capacity. The Granby people intended to i mined tatoly install two additional furnaces, bringing their capacity up to -2300; the B. C. Copper company had made arrangements to add four more furnaces during the year. One furnace at the Sunset smelter was being put in place at the first of the year and has since been blown in, and a third had been ordered, but the order was not hurried on account of shortage of fuel and this furnace will reach the smelter next week. Under the circumstances one million tons would have been a conservative estimate. The smelters would have been ready to treat ore the mines were ready to produce; for in addition to the big mines belonging to the companies owning the smelters, there was a large tonnage of ore offering from other mines. The first of the year Jooked particularly bright for a millicf Lt>'-> '���amp, ��� but in this world mining c-ii.4 -> ure interdependent Boundary had the ore and the smelters the men and the managers, who would all combine to secure the new record, but Boundary had not the coal mines nor the coke ovens, nor the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company, nor its men, all of whom have apparently agreed upon nothing but to disagree. In February of this year a general strike was ordered among the employes of the coal company and every mine and coke oven was closed down. The smelters had to close for want of coke, mines followed and the million ton estimate of the new year joined .the great order of has-beens. The strike was finally settled, but the coke supply did not nearly equal the demands of the smelters. The output was consequently restricted and the estimated output of the mines reduced. But notwithstanding all this the output of the Boundary mines for the half year ending June 30th makes a formidable showing. The aggregate exceeds 274,000 tons, which is much more than ha'f the tonnage for the year 1902. The Granby mines has the largest comparative tonnage because the Granby company secured coke from outside points when the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company was unable to furnish ariy and thus helped to swell the shipments from the mines. She total tonnage of these mines in 1902 was 310,000 tons in round numbers, and up to June 30 the tonnage this year is about 164,000. The Mother Lode mine has fallen short on account of the smelter being idle. Last year's tonnage was about 140,000 tons, and for the half year just closed about 50,000. Of course with a reasonable show, the difference can be easily overcome and the tonnage far exceeded before the close of the year. ' The Sunset mine has more than equalled half of last year.'s tonnage; the Snowshoe in the half year has exceeded by 6000 tons its entire output for 1902, and the B. C. mine has just about equalled its output for last year. The small tonnage from the Sunset and the shortage in Mother Lode shipments is*' accounted for by reason of the fact that both the B. C. mine and the Snowshoe have largely increased their tonnage. These ores have been treated at the Sunset and B, C. Copper company's smelters, and in the absence of au adequate supply of coke the shipments from tho companies' own mines were necessarily curtailed. The Emma mine has* also in the half year exceeded by 2000 tons last year's total shipments. In addition the high grade min*:s near Greenwood shipped about 800 tons in six .months.,. . .. _ !.-!--< ��� ���-..->- j- - ������;���<���.. Again the'Boundary is rich in expectations for the next six months. The Crow's Pass company expect to be able to meet the requirements of the smelters as soon as the Morrissey coke ovens are ready, Coke is coming in a little more freely even now. The Granby people have secured a large shipment of coke from Fairfax, Washington; three furnaces are now running; a fourth will be blown in next week, and two additional furnaces will be ready in a few weeks.' This will give six furnaces in all with a capacity of 2300 tons daily. The Montreal & Boston company will blow in the second furnace next week, and the third will soon be here, and the B. C. Copper company has its - two "furnaces running. The capacity of all these furnaces is about 3500 tons daily, which if running full blast for six months would treat over 600,000 in that time. But shortage of coke, further labor troubles, accidents and other causes may intervene to keep the output down. In any case it is safe to state that the total this year will show a healthy increase over last year. NEW MEAT MARKET E. W. Bishop has secured the contract for supplying and installing the steam heating plant in the new court house. The plant will be of the most modern type and is to be in place before September 30th. Mr. pishop's tender was the lowest, although several outside firms tendered for the contract. P. Burns & Co's New Establishment in the Ostroski Building. P. Burns & Co's meat market is now established at the comer of Copper and Greenwood streets:, in the Ostroski j block..,;The new market is easily one * of the finest in the interior, and outside of, possibly, the firm's Nelson establishment, there is nothingl' ;td'i;equal it for size. and convenience. The im provements carried out, reflect, the greatest, credit on the firm'and its local manager, Mr. Ehrlich. -i Although P.. Burns & Co. own the property where the old market stands, and although they had*aV;monopoly of* the meat business in the City, still they moved to the present premises.in order to further accommodate* the- public. It is such enterprise and consideration that make P. Burns & Co., a popular firm notwithstanding the fact that they have a practical monoply jof the meat business in the interior. After securing a lease of the Ostroski building a large force of. carpenters were put to work fitting up the interior of the premises. New offices, a cold storage department and all convenience* found in an up-to-date establishment were fitted up. After the parpen ters came the painters who painted the whole interior in pure white. An elevater was 'put in place to lift the ice above the. cold storage department and other- improvements carried out. Further improvements are contemplated. Manager Ehrlich intends putting a fountain and miniature lake in one of the deep show, windows and stocking it with live fish. -rre" Death of Mrs H. A. King Died , Suddenly of Heart Disease Wednesday Moraine- Mrs. H. A. King,, wife of the well known stationer of this city, died sud denly at two o'clock Wednesday morning. The deceased lady worked up to midnight preparatory to attending the celebration at Grand Forks and shortly after retiring she became suddenly ill. She complained of her heart and before - medical aid could be summoned death came. Besides the bereaved husband Mrs. King leaves a family of two daughters and one son by a. former marriage. One of the daughters Mrs. J. D. Sword was visiting with them during Mr. Swords absence in Alaska. The funeral takes place this after- 'riobn, GREATLY ALARMED Mr. E.

C, had been troubled for four of five yearswith a continuous cough whe says, "greatly alarmed me, causing me to fear that I was iu the first stage of consumption." Mr. Burbage. having seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy advertised, concluded to try it., Now read what he says of it: "I sopn felt a remarkable change and after, using two bottles of'thg twentyrfiye cent size, was permanently, cured."

During his recent visit there,.he made an arrangement to join the B. C. Mining Record. If after three months this arrangement is satisfactory to both parties Miv Jacobs will acquire an interest in the business and become permanently associated with that journal. During Mr. Jacobs' six years residence in the Boundary he did good work in bringing the resources of the Boundary to the notice of the readers of various mining journals and newspapers for which he acted as correspondent. He intends to retain this connection and is at present preparing a series of articles on mining and allied subjects for the Engineering Magazine of New York. He will also write some articles for the Engineer- and Mining Journal of New York. That Mr. Jacobs' good work has been appreciated'by the mining men of the district is shown by the fact that when he announced his intention of leaving the district, a flattering letter of appreciation was presented to him. It bears dale April 30th and follows: Greenwood, B.C., April 30, 1903. Mr. .E. Jacobs, .Greenwood, B.

John Houston has an announcement in the Nelson Tribune that he will be a candidate for member of the legislative assembly for the city of Nelson at the next general election, provided he gets the nomination of the Liberal-Conservatives. John will, no doubt, get the nomination; but that's about all he will get. In the Nelson Tribune John Houston states that in the last legislature there were 22 Conservatives and 16 Liberals. And what did the Conservatives do when they had control of the house ? Nothing but draw their breaths and their salaries. Reader, the Conservatives had six majority in the provincial house for the past three years. Has the policy of that party in British Columbia made you rich ? The wages paid in free trade England are higher than in all j Tne liberal platform, as adopted at the provincial liberal convention held ' at Vancouver on February 7th, 1902, is : as follows : } 1. The immediate redistribution of ��� the constituencies of the province on j the basis of population but allowing a j smaller unit of population per seat for the outlying districts. 2. Government ownership, Domin- ionvproviriciarandihunicipairofp~ubl"iT services of utilities i ssound and should be carried out in British Columbia. 3. Should it be advisable at any time to grant aid to a railway company such shall be in cash and not in land and no bonus of any kind shall be given without definite and effective means being taken to safeguard the interests of the province in the management of the road, control of the freight and passenger rates, and provision made against such railway having any liability against it except for actual cost. 4. Immediate construction of the Coast-Kootenay railway; the Cariboo railway; a railway from Alberni lo a point on the east coast of the island; ;i road in the northern part of the province from the coast to the eastern boundary with an extension to the northern boundary; the railway from Vernon to Midway by north fork of Kettle river; with necessary branch lines, ferries and connections. 5. The enforcement of the act now in force compelling the scaling of logs by government scalers. 6. That such legislation should be enacted as will result in making the lands included in the various dyking areas available for cultivation as quicKly as possible and secure prompt payments of assessments when due. 7. That the government should keep in touch with the conditions in connection with mining, protecting said industry against combines and trusts and if necessary for the purpose build and operate smelters and refineries. No reasonable change should be made in the mining laws without full notice to all parties interested, giving full opportunity for discussion and criticism. 8.

Rational care of the teeth and mouth seeks to free the* cavity of the mouth of all foreign substance, . .:.., Tartar must be removed from time to time. Loose roots and stumps must be extracted. Decayed teeth must be filled, or treated and filled; or extracted. Artificial substitutes must be inserted in place of natural teeth which have been lost. The sooner a diseased tooth is treated the more rapidly, painlessly, and cheaper can it be filled For this reason teeth should be thoroughly examined at least twice a year. It is money well spent to have diseased roots and such as are still firmly implanted filled, and, where necessary, provided with artificial crowns. m m REPRESENTING : The Phoenix Fire Assurance The British America Assur- Co. of London, England. ance Co., of Toronto.

Mae.Rae of Greenwood has returned from the meet in g of the General Assembly to Calg*ary, to further promote the establishment of the Western Canada College. The movement met with the endorsation of the assembly. The subject was introduced at the assembly by Dr. Herdman, superintendent of Presbyterian missions. He asked that the General Assembly approve of the project ol" establishing* a boy's' and girls' residential school at Calgary and also at Kamloops. The Rev. Dr. pointed out the great and growing" need for such institutions in the far west. He said that while he had often noticed the scattered nature of the population and the consequent inability of the government to supply satisfactory schools but it was not till one of the school inspectors urged that the churches duty in the matter that he had been led to seriously consider.-���-.--"��� He traced the history of the proposed school scheme up to date, the success that had attended the efforts of the promoters so far, and concluded by urging the Presbyterian church to commend these institutions. Other denominations were being approached in a similar manner and judging from the encouragement that had been given, there was every likelihood of receiving the stamp of approval from all the religious bodies. Dr. MacRae followed in support of Dr. Herdman. He dwelt upon the serious want of schools where religious and; moral instruction "vvas pronounced. The children in many parts were growing up amidst conditions that were anything but conducive to the making of good christian citizenship. There was much freedom in the west, but it was too often of a wild and undisciplined nature. These proposed institutions were intended to supplement the, public schools. In them tae moral and religious training of the scholars would be sedulously ��� guarded. The charter w4uld guarantee the christian nature of the schools. .;'��� Dr. Bryce made a powerful speech in favor of the proposed institutions. We are, he said, first christians, then Presbyterians. The conditions out here" itre"^ in many respects fllfferetit from the east. There' was not tne hard and fixed lines of sect or caste. If the Presbyterian church was to be worthy-of its educational traditions, it must be in the forefront of such movements as the present, that promised so much for the best interests of the churches and Christianity at large The schools were wholly undenominational, end the guarantees of non- secularisation would satisfy the strict- ist churchman of -whatever sect he might be. He closed with a.splendid appeal for the good will and patronage of Presbyterian people towards these residential schools.

NOTHING LIKE EXPERIENCE. "Gne truth learned by actual experience does more good than ten experiences one hears about."

After crossing the bridge the wagon stiriick a telephone, breaking it into ������"a' dozen pieces and scattering the vegetables over the street. Chas. J. McGee and wife and A. S. Halls of Chicago and T. H. JRae were in the city this week. Mr. McGee is president of the..... Hesperus Mining company organized by Mr. Rae in the Windy city to acquire and develop the Betts. and Hesperus claims on Hardy mountain. The visitors examined the smelters and mines in the vicinity. Their company has ample funds in the treasury and work on the two pto- perties will be commenced immediately. S. H. C. Miner, president of the Granby Smelting" company,.prior to leaving Grand Forks for Victoria, made an interesting statement: "I inspected every inch of the new work done at the Granby mines since my last visit, a year ago. 1 found that the mines as a whole have improved very materially in that period. We have large and extensive plans still in view. Coke continues to be the burning question. We* have been handicapped for a year, and averaged a fraction,; less thatv two furnaces in operation, while we actually had four available for use." "This state of affairs,-"'��� said Mr. Miner with emphasis, "cannot continue* We are making arrangements and shall haye coke of our own in the near future. The new equipment for the additional furnaces now being installed, making six in all, will be ready for work within a few weeks. Our policy is for constant and moderate expansion all the time, but we must meantime again consider the interests of our shareholders. Notwithstanding the lack of coke thus greatly restricting operations, we have added $300,000 worth of equipment to the mines at Phoenix and the smelter at Grand Forks, all of which has been paid for out of earnings." Y |... * * :.���'. ��� The sports held at Camp McKinney on Dominion Day were well _attended and successfully carried out. The tug-of-war was the best contested item on the programme, a team from the farming district of Anarchist Mountain, south east of that camp, having most stubbornly contested with local miners for the prize in this event. After ''tugging" for an hour and a quarter, until the teams could-do little but lie on the rope, the camp men gained and maintained an advantage which secured for them a hard-fought victory. The half yearly closing exercises of the Anaconda public school took place last Friday, 26th ulto. A number of parents and friends of the pupils, and other visitors were present, and they listened to an oral examination, conducted by the teacher, Miss F. Gibson, and then inspected the written examinr ation papers, composition work, maps and drawings of the pupils. After the presentation of the honor roll, to Arthur Peterson for proficiency, to Mamie Coutts for attendance, and to Frank McDonald for deportment, re- ; The No. 7 iMining Co., Ltd., owing a gr;pup of lrtinerai- claiihs near Greenwood, is offering for sale 24,000 shares of its treasury stock, the proceeds to be used in payment for improvements already made, in still further developing the company's No 7 mine, and to install and eqjip a concentrating plant to enable the sompany to concentrate its own ores, and to provide working capital. The No. 7 group includes the 'No. 7 mine, and'the Glasgowfractional,I^ady of .the. Lake, Helen, McGregor, and Rob Roy claims, all adjoining. Outside of sinking two pro spect shafts and making a number of Open cuts along the course of the veins occuring here, practically aU thedeveloptaeiit^wbft^has been Tlone on the No. 7, on which a shaft has been sunk to a depth of 320 ������ feet, with long levels run at SO, 120 and 200 feet, respectively, whilst a cross-cut has proved the vein to be in place at the 300 foot level. More than 2,000 lineal feet of work have been done in underground development The ore is quartz mineralized with gold, silver, zinc and lead, and the vein varies in width from 18 inches to'7 feet Several stcpes have been opened and about 1200 tons of ore shipped to the smelter. The mine is equipped with power plant consisting of a Class A Ingerspll Sergeant straight line air compressor rated at five drills, six one man machine drills, air receiver, 100-horse power steam boiler, 25 horse power hoisting engine, Cameron sinking pump, etc. The elevation "of the property and its distance from the railway���this being about five miles��� have made it neeessary from motives of economy for the management to conduct experiments in the direction of concentration tests, and these have been in progress for several months, the object being to materially reduce the cost of transportation from mine to smelter. The mine has been.opened up under the direction of Frederic Keffer, M.E., general manager for the B. C. Copper Co., Ltd. As a number ���of shareholders in the No. 7 Co., also hold shares in the B. C. Copper Company an amalgamation of the two companies is favored by some, provided an equitable basis of absorbtion by the stronger company of the No. 7 can be arranged. The No. 7 Mining company is capitalised at $1,000,000 in 200,C00 shares at $5.00 each. IA &i* WMi B. L. Wood has reopened a tailor shop on Copper street (F. J.
