description: 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 Gr…
