OUR SPECIALTY IS WATCH REPAIRING. 0��RW��RKIS GUARANTEED Copper Street Greenwood COPPER STREET St: GREENWOOD After a week spent in the district, visiting the company's properties, under the guidance of Mr. J. E. McAllister and Mr. Frederick Keffer, the officials of the 13. C. Copper company from New York, returned east on Monday last. They spent a strenuous week in camp, making a most careful examination of the .company's holdings aud of its modern smelting plant. From early morning until late at night they ,put in seven busy days, only laying off long enough Saturday afternoon to make a friendly visit to the Dominion Copper company's mines at Phoenix. According to representations made by Mr. Hoyt. the president, Ihe visitors saw much more than they had expected. At }he Mother Lode they found a mine such'as they had not dreamed of, and one which took two severe days to make anything:like an inspection thereof, Their other mines',' notably those at Summit camp, and the Lone Star, were a great surprise as well. ' The knowledge of the mines thus gained will supplement the standing of the president in financial circles east to the doubtless benefit of the company. The president was delighted with the new smelting plant here and its management, ��� and was altogether optimistic over the situation. There was one discordant note only in the president's words in our short interview, and that was the high price of labor and of the apparent insecurity of labor contracts. But we do not choose to take the gentleman too seriously on the matter of high wages, for with the price of their product ruling high? the: danger- ,ous work of mining, is entitled pay living wages. The accidents at the local smelters last Saturday may have served to impress the president- of the dangers attached to working in his industries. ' The complaint that the stockholders had not yet received; any ,diyidends__was. not^a^valid=one, although true in a sense. During these years the company has chosen to acquire new properties and to so improve them that the stock today commands a high premium, and that in in'self is'\"a dividend. Much the same would be the complaint of a farmer who, instead of banking his money, would investit in new lands. lie takes up a quarter section say, and from its proceeds iu a year or two acquires another quarter. From the proceeds of the half section in a few years he acquires another half, and so on until the end of eight or ten years he has mail}- hundreds of acres of land, but no reiuty money. Who would take his complaint seriously if he said fanning didn't pay because, forsooth, he was not laying up money. He was doing, instead, what he believed the wiser course, securing more lands and bringing all to a high state of cultivation. Just so, the B. C. Copper company may not have been paying dividends in these years, but it has been multiplying values by acquisition and development. The visitors were delig-hted with the country and the climate. Had they had the time to meet the people^ we doubt not they would have'thought well of them too., We feel sure that nothing but good can come to the company Ralph Smailes.of Seattle was in town the first of the week hopeful as ever of the ultimate issue of the Midway and Vernon, but not in position to make any disclosures at present. The old Midway-Vernon guard has become considerably scattered. ; Christopher Wood iu Armstrong-, Robert Wood in Beaverdell, Jas. Kerr in Idaho, Duncan Mcintosh in Manitoba, Mr. Pope in Africa and Mr. Smailes in Seattle. The only elements in the concern that remain stationary are the grade between Midway and Rock Creek and the beautiful West Fork country, whose people kept waiting- all these years, make a rather pathetic picture. A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS No. 40. PAY ORE COLUMN About IS men are working on the Cariboo and the property is looking very promising. ��� Portniann and Zurfiiish have built a nice cabin on the Johannesburg and have four men at work. DEATH.IN A COAL MINE The Skylark and Providence, alone of the high grades, are using steam. The rest have installed electric plants. The Gold Drop is getting ready for a 250-ton daily output. The wagon road from the Lone Star; has been put in shape and shipments >n% when will be resumed. The seven-drill electric compressor f-jr the Crescent is overdue. Saturday afternoon recorded two accidents. The ambulance had barely returned from conveying an injured employee of the Dominion Copper company to theSisters' Hospital when it was summoned to the B. C. .Company's smelter. At the Boundary Falls plant a workman by tne name of,Clark, stepping off the charge car on the wrong side, got jammed between the car and the Hue He wedged in so tightly that the car was lifted from the track. Several ribs were crushed in and the hip bone broken. , At the B. C. Smelter, a car ot ore was dumped on-va' workman's leg, severely bruising the same, but breaking no bones. On Su in lay an Italian laborer at the B.C company's smelter got his head quite seriously hurt, and on Monday a workman in the shops at the Mother Lode, Marshall by name, sustained an injury to his hand. Another car of S125 ore is being hauled at present from the Duncan at Beaverdell, to the Canadian Pacific at Midway. . Al-:x Robinson has received word to continue work on theGolconda, both in the tunnel and from above. Stnathcona, Alta., June 10.���Six men are dead as the result of a fire Saturday night over the mouth of the Ross & Walters coal mine, west of this city. The fire began in the engine room among some waste, at about 11 o'clock. Thedead: George Eamb, Newcastle- on-Tyne; G. F. Tettley, Barrow-in- Furness, Lancostine; T. E. Tepot, Bretany, France; W. McLellan, Durham, England; Percy Harrington, Essex, England; Joseph Hardy, Newcas- tle-on-Tyne. The financial loss is S10,000, with no insurance. Five men were in the mine titnber- the fire began; and George Lamb, night foreman, went down to warn them. The (lames spread with great rapidity, and the' elevator over the main shaft was soon ablaze- Lamb, with his retreat cut off, endeavored to climb the air shaft. He was successful, but was horribly burned, and died yesterday afternoon. None of the men got above ground.���Tlfe Province. CITY PARK\"NEEDED Before it Is Too Late to Secure the Same THE TIME IS OPPORTUNE For the Acauisition of Lands on the Flat that Could Be Made Into a Beauty Spot. SECESSION AND ITS ANTIDOTE The Dominion CopperCo. has retired S2C0,000 for its outstanding bonds out of earnings. The estimated net earnings of the company is placed at S100,- 000 a mouth, now that the capacity has been raised to 1,500 tons daily. BLOWN IN The Dominion Copper company blew in its third furnace Monday last. This furnace is the largest in the province and doubles the capacity of the plant The local smelters are 'row reducing nearly 3000 tons per day,' and this will be materially increased in a short time by the putting in commission of the B. C. Company's third 600 ton furnace. The smelters in the Boundary now have a daily capacity of over 6000 when all are running and. although considerable time was lost by the Granby and Dominion during the coal strike the year's output is bound to be be an increase on last year. The Boston News is authority for the statement that M. M. Johnson, chief engineer of the Dominion Copper Co., has been instructed by the board of directors to prepare plans for au additional .1,500 ton a day capacity for the local plant. TALKED TOO MUCH George Agnew of Rossland, thinks that Rev. J. P. D. Knox talked too much 'nnd, too libellously about him, and has instituted a suit in the supreme court against the; reverend gentleman for sl-mder. Mr. Agnew is a prominent member of the Methodist church, and\" until recently superintendent of the Sabbath school. His pastor thinks that this particular member of his church should .not sell tobacco-lo minors -and others, and do things which he claims to have discovered the brother was doing. WHY NOT? All Ontario is divided into three parts���Old Ontario, New Ontario and the Rainy River and Thuneer Bay country. * The dwellers in the Trans- Superior region are in a stp.te of revolt, and for several months have been holding meetings at which it has been seriously proposed that a new province shall be carved out of the Rainy River and Thunder Bay districts. It is a far cry from tjie valley of the Rainy River to Toronto, over 700 miles as the crow fle3, and the members of the government in the Queen's park are only now beginning to wonder'what all the noise is about.���The Globe. NATIONAL IDEAS HELP YOURSELF We are interested enough in the Boundary to be delighted to see anything that appears in the Times quot-: ed by the coast papers, whether we are credited with the same or not./. But at the same time we do not like to see the responsibility for the sanie shifted to any other source. In -our issue of May 31st, we had an article comparing the Boundary and Coeur d'Alene outputs for the first seven years of their mining history. The Vancouver World of June 7th quotes the article in full but charges it | up to Phoenix^c^n^p^dence..^Who. \"sinned ? The World's correspondent or the World's editorial staff. At the meeting of the Montreal conference of the Methodist churches at Gananoque recently, the stationing committee recommended that the congregation in Megantic be united undei the Presbyterian rule and those in East Angus be united under Methodist rule. The recommendation was adopted. Why should not these two churches draw.up a general agreement providing for such union in all places in Canada where small congregations think it advisable? It would be a first step in church union and it would enable many self-sacrificing ministers to secure larger, congregations and more adequate salaries. It would not be forced union, but would only occur where both congregations felt that something would be gained.���Canadian Courier. HIGH SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS JUST BURST The Dominion Copper Co., should take lessons from Harriman in the manipulation of water. We do not know that the company has tried to handle it iu their stocks, but we understand that they made a flat failure in their uew big water tank at Boundary Falls. The water inside decided to get out and to do so burst asunder the big tank last Sunday and scattered the timber around promiscuously. ^^ E x a m i n a t i blTsT\"f or~~en\" t\"ratice~ \"to\" 1 He high school, for the district, will take place next Monday, There are 21 candidates in all, 3 from Phoenix, 4 from Boundary Falls, 7 from Midway, 7 from Greenwood. The examinations will be conducted by Inspector J. D. Gillis, and will en. gage about three days. Hon. Frank Oliver, minister of the interior, and therefore in. charge of all immigration matters, has been talking to the Canadian club of Edmonton, on the treatment to be accorded to new citizens. ' The immigrants from the United States, Great: Britain and Europe are welcome, but they must accept Canadian ideals and Canadian ambitions. The Canadian clubs of the country should take in the newcomers and make enthusiastic citizens ofjthem. These new citizens must- be impressed with the fact that we do not want them here to help build itp;>an.<.annex to the United States nor a duplicate of the conditions in Europe. Hon. Mr. Oliver spoke frankly and freely, and bacause these sentiments are expressed by him they are particularly worthy of note. Mr. Oliver is a thorough believer in the possibility of building up on this part of the continent a civilization and a nation which will be superior in many ways to any others in the world. Hevholds the torch high, and it is well that we have leaders able and far-sighted enough to do what he seems to have done well on this occasion. A united Canada is not sufficient; it must be an ideal Canada as well. If Canada's national ideals, morals arid, instituiions are not better than those elsewhere, then she will not have lived up to her opportunities. She is the newest nation, and she has the experience of added centuries to guide her as to what is. to be desired, and what to be avoided. To do as well as Great Britain or as well as the United States is not sufficient. She jias/op- poftu\"nitiel^vti IchHih^e^oirntxies never had. She has been born in a day when order, equality and liberty have new meanings. If her people realize these advantages and press forward along the right line, the world will freely and gladly say, \"Well done!\"���Canadian Courier. THE SLAG PILE FACTS AND FIGURES fly a majority of 209, tho citizens of Calgary passed a bv-law authorizing the expenditure of S3I0.O00 for a gravity water-level system. The voting was keen u,p to the last minute. British Columbia's manufactured products increased from 319,000,000 in 1901 to ?38,000,000 in 1900. While Canada as a whole made a gain of 50 per cent, British Columbia made a gain of 100 per cent. Smelters frequently decline to purchase the copper ore which contains either bismuth, antimony, arsenic, lead or zinc, because\" the presence of these alloys in copper lowers its conductivity. There are, howezer, smelters well enugh equipped to handle im pure copper ores. The carrying capacity of a 16 inch diameter pipe, with a fall of 1 foot in loo feet is 2,303 gallons of water per minute. OUTPUT OF BOUNDARY ORES On June 29th the Granby pays another dividend of S4O5,()0O which will make a total of ��2,563,030 paid since December, 1903. Canaada's 22,000 miles of railway in Canada in 1906 carried 28,000,000 passengers, 58,oi)0,()00 tons of freight, and earned 8125,000,000. CARD OF THANKS ,The Pope brothers desire to extend thanks to the many friends of their late mother, for the kindness and attention shown in a trying hour. The most explosive dust in mines is that produced by coal arid shale, or bind, the coal being that crumbling from the sides of the roadways when made in coal, or that shaken or blown from trams, shale or bind falling from roofs or sides, and becoming gradually reduced to a tine mechanical mixture. This, as it is stirred up, is carried with the air, and deposited on sides and roof. It is this fine dust tint is liable to ignition. Wages are rather low in Honduras, where one American gold mining company is earning dividends of S!5,Olio per month, and has already paid 52,- 487,500, or 165.8 per cent on its capitalization of SI,500,000. Miners earn 1 peso (about SOoents) perday;shovek*rs, 50 to 75 centavos (25 to 37;* cents): mechanics, 1.50 to 3 pesos (75 cents to 31.50); firemen, 1.50 pesos (75 cents); blacksmiths, 1.50 to 3 pesos (75 cents to SI.SO); titnbermen and carpenters, 2 to 2.50 pesos (51 to SI. 25). For making brick it is not necessary that clay be so pure. The i.iiw gkadi* mines of the Boundary, which first began shipment in 1900, sending out 100,000 tons that year, have been steadily increasing. The 1906 shipments were 1,161,537 tons, and tliat of 1907 will be a large gain t hereon. _, The men <*.kai>ks, up to the end of 1906, had in the past four years shipped out over 10,000 tons with a value of over 51,000,000.

Down river and up-river for a distance of over a mile the little square stakes were set, and set 11 ui versa lly far too close tog-ether. Twenty-five feet between, they ranged across the flat, looking- in the days before the trees grew up again like the teeth of a monstrous comb. To each narrow strip of ground a large price was attached, and as a result hundreds of them are still held by the townsite company and the Gauadian Pacific, and of little present value. Scores of -other lots lie here and there, held by individuals, and for sale todav at a small percentage of cost. But with all this breadth of land to stake out, and hold and pay taxes on, no thought was taken\"' for a city park or recreation ground. Upon much of this land a beautiful second growth growth appears, and it would not be an expensive undertaking today to lay the foundations fora beautiful city park. Greenwood is not always to'be a town of its present proportions. - It may not become a great city, ���but.lit must inevitably grow into A good,-.substantial one. It has the conditions for such. Man may materially assist*'these conditions and hurry its day. ? We would suggest that one of the wisest steps the city council could make today would be to secure a city park and recreation ground close in while values are low. Between Government and. Copper streets \"are some beautiful blocks entirely vacant. We believe that the townsite people, who are loaded with real estate, would make a reasonable donation to the city for such a purpose, and we believe that the Canadian Pacific would do likewise. *�� If two adjoining blocks, close in, were secured, the one for a park and the other for a recreation ground, the value of adjacent holdings would appreciate sufficiently-to these-large -holders to offset their donation. The individual holdings here and there in these two blocks could be cheaply purchased now. Of the advantages of parks and recreation grounds arguments are needless. ? We beg to commend the scheme to the city hall people, assured that such a movement would meet with public approval. SET STAKES SUNDAY Duncan Prince Henry...

Tupper claims the honor for having been the originator of the \"all red'' route round the world. Surely there must be merit in the scheme. It is a common thing to hear the ambitions of small towns derided, but a town with 2,000 people and a 20,000 club, is better than a town of 20,000 people and a 2,000 club. Why should overworked train crews be made responsible for accidents on a railway as a result of such overwork? Are not the employers the ones who ought to be punished? C. C. Hapton has a bulldog valued at $1,000. Some of the papers are publishing pictures cf the dog. We wonder what value the owner puts on the man that takes care of the dog? Wiiit.k we are not in favor of too Puritanic a Sunday, we are not iu favor of too continental a one. Wc do not believe that people can be legislated into the kingdom of heaven, but we do believe that law can make conditions, favorable to a man's living in accordance with the dictates of his conscience. We think that people may be safely allowed to enjoy the Sabbath in rational amusement, but at the same time we feel that such should not needlessly offend those whose views favor a strict observance; of the Sabbath. These observations are suggested by the somewhat boisterous passage through the town last Sunday morning of some of the'patrons of the ball game at Midway. , ? The Lewishons are planning to invest many millions in British Columbia and Alaska. A. A. Wheeler is convinced that this summer's developments in Kootenay's oldest camp, Ainsworth, will be even better than Inst year's, and that the wealth even now in sight warrants a belief in the permanent prosperity of the camp. The Guggenheims have by no means abandoned their active operations in the Cariboo country. Some little time ago it was reported that this company had practically abandoned all operations in that section, owing to their dissatisfaction with the mining laws and other troubles, From recent re ports, however, it appears that the company, so far from having quit, are preparing to carry out their extensive planson a scale even larger than be fore. The Oregon eight hour mining law became'effective last week. It prescribes, among other things, that \"all miners working in any mine in the state at or over a depth of 150 feet, or over 200 feet in a tunnel, is entitled to ah eight hour day,\" and that \"failure on the part of the mine owner, manager or superintendent to comply with this law constitutes a misdemeanor, punishable with a line of not less than $50 nor more than S300, or by imprisonment of not less than 30 days not- more than three months, and the courts shall have discretion to impose both fine and imprisonment.\" CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER Dealer in Sash, Doors, Turned Work and Inside Finish, Etc, ESTIMATES FURNISHED.

In another column we deal briefly with the matter of a recreation ground and city park. Now, while land, is cheap, the ciry might very properly take the matter up. It is due to our young men to give them a recreation ground, close in, so that so much of the time they may have to spend in pastime be not wasted in walking .back and forth to the present park. Moreover, a tenure under rent is not desirable, and the ball club and others should not be called on to solicit funds that have to be paid out in rent. W'e have public spirit sufficient, surely, to justify this step, and if some of the present waste land on the flat can be made into healthful resorts, it were certainly wise to do so. It is time we outgrew our village ideas if we are to be what we aspire to be, the metropolis of the Boundary. The World's S.

At a recent convention of teachers in Ontario it was reported that there were 1,200 teachers iu the province who did not hold certificates of even the third class. It would appear to us that this emergency list is altogether too large, and altogether too heavy a discount to place on normal school qualification.

C. At first, it seems as if Sir Wilfrid must have had a happy month in England, but when one considers the following narrative, as related in an English magazine, there remains only compassion: \"I had the pleasure of accompanying three of the premiers the other day to Edinburg. We left at 10 o'clock in the morning from King's Cross. At precisely 10:30 there came along refreshments in the shape of pineapples, peaches and grapes; at 10:45 champagne and cigars made their appearance;���at_ll\" \"o'clock -further���tangible evidence of British hospitality in the form of chicken sandwiches, cakes and more champagne: and a light collation of plums and plover's eggs and champagne, this time a different brand, occurred a quarter.of an hour later. At 12:30 luncheon was heralded by olives, anchovies,vermouth and sherry; and a still further and stronger portent of events in that direction happened at 1 o'clock, when the waiters brought round hors d'oeuvres of sardines and caviare with cocktails a l'Americaine. Luncheon lasted from 1:30 to 3:45, and after a slight interval of seven or eight minutes., preliminary tea was served, a substantial meal not making its advent until 4:30. None of the premiers appeared daunted. If these were British traditions, not a statesman from overseas shrank from upholding them. At last a slight, tin - pretentious observation escaped the lips of the New Zealand premier. He wanted to say that he was full of admiration of th; hospitality of the mother country. But he got no farther than 'I am full,' and tho waiters came along with champagne. Then the premier of Natal pathetically remarked: 'Waiter, it's very short time between meals.\" Now, if our own Richard could have left the \"foot of the throne\" long enough to have takon that trip in, it might have relieved life's tedium. A BIG THING w-'-?--f-?-f-?^^jf ^4^* >��-**-?���--- -r-r^r-f m>m One of the largest industries ever started in Edmonton, or even in Western Canada, is the big meat packing plant that is to be established there this summer by P. D. riwyer. With a capacity of 6,000 animals per day this mammoth plant will easily be able to use all the caltle, hops ant' sheep grown in Western Canada. They will control the market of the west for canned meats, and expect, in time, as Unless the word \"short\" in. letters half an inch high, is stamped on all strawberry boxes sold in Vancouver, dealers and importers are liable to be prosecuted for a breach of the fruit marks act. Mr. Maxwell Smith, Dominion fruit inspector? discovered recently that all the strawberry boxes, which are supposed to contain four- fifths of an imperial quart of berries, were a quarter of an inch too shallow, and that purchasers were therefore not getting the proper quantity of-berries.' The strawberry boxes which are the correct size should measure 4% by 4% by 3 inches, but the boxes now being sold are only-23{ inches deep.
