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.

Some time since Mining Science made a prophetic suggestion as to the possibility, if Europe was well prospected in,modern days, witlv modern knowledge and appliances, whether many more ore deposits and mines might not be found there than at present known. The geology of Europe is-quite favorable to the occurrence of mineral veins. It abounds in old volcanic eruptions and in igneous and other rocks likely for ore, .though it has often been, observed that geology ical conditions in a region may be all that could be theoretically desired, yet the ores may be absent or not in. available quantity. Ih a recent article by Mr. Etienne Ritter in one of our contemporaries on the rediscovery of some important gold mines in France, a country that for centuries produced no gold, though in the ancient Roman period it was the. main source of that metal, our surmises seem confirmed. Three old gold mines, were .lately rediscovered that yielded in 1908 the handsome product of $1,200,000. The ground where these mines were rediscovered was in a thorougly settled country where no gold had been extracted for several centuries, where all the ground is held by "private ownership and intensely cultivated, where the existence of veins was known and their outcrops, while largely obliterated by centuries of cultivation of the soil over them, were yet apparent but neglected by many generations. Since Julius Caesar's time,wben Gaul, now France, was the great- gold producer, it was supposed that all the gold veins worthy of prospecting had been fully exploited and it was useless to develop veins left as worthless by centuries of mining exploitation.
