[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.

BLSON Last Saturday the Board of Trade received a telegram from the Nelson Board urging the appointment of a delegate to proceed to Fernie to be present at the conference to be held" over the coal situation. The secretary hastily summoned the executive council which 'discussed the matter carefully but felt that owing to not being invited by either party to the question at issue it would not be wise to take hasty action. The Nelson Board was so informed but on Saturday evening renewed its request for action. Grand Forks and Phoenix took action in the matter, the former town sending Mr.- Spier, the latter Mayor Mathison. , ^ The Greenwood Board took steps however to keep informed of the progress of events and so informed the. Nelson Board, and assured it that unless the trouble was speedily settled, as it had reason to believe it would be, and it became apparent that the presence 'of a representative would appear desirable that iL would be glad to share in the public representations that might be made by the commercial bodies of the country, as to the injury a prolonged tie-up in the mines would have on the prosperity of the couutry in general. ' The-- action .'of the executive was decided by telegrams from the Department of ," Labor' and other, sources and ,was considered iu the best interests of all concerned. The baseball season opened Sunday with a match between, theabove teams. The weather was perfect and a large crowd assembled to witness the old rivals play. Greenwood team was crippled by the loss of Hallett, pitcher, he being* temporarily out of the game on account of a bad arm, and the wise ones predicted an easy win for the miners, but they figured without the home boys infield, for although Phoenix outbatted Greenwood the hits were invariably gobbled up by some infielder attd runs cut off. Allan relieved Clerf iu the sixth and stopped the Phoenixrungetting*. A jp With some Reward for the Promoters POST OFFICE BUSINESS GREENWOOD TO PHOENIX THE B. C. COPPER COMPANY The splendid management of the B. C. Copper Company was made apparent when the "strike came on and the Canadian Pacific notified the 'smeller that owing- to fuel shortage it could not undertake tci haul ore. The B. C. people immediately made arrangements with the railway to haul their ore on condition that the company would provide the coal. The Copper co'y had reserves of coal enough to supply the railway for three weeks and coke enogh to keep the smelting plant going. And so there is no stoppage at the big plant here, nor will there be for some time. Phoenix : Stretzel, p. Perkins, c. King, 1st. Ryan, 2nd. .Sherbino, 3rd. . McKelvcy, cf. Thomas, l.f. Corbctt, s.s.

Watterson predicts that Hughes will be next President of the United States. Some day, somebody with foresight and energy, and with ability to enlist the necessary capital will promote what will prove to be a most profitable enterprise, a tunnel between Greenwood and Phoenix. Such a tunnel run from any one of several points iu the valley at Greenwood would tap rich leads of ore, prove drainage for the Phoenix mines and eventually cheapen ore carriage from Phoenix to both Boundary Creek Valley and the Kettle River Valley, where the present smelters are and where, the future ones must necessarily be. For years, at intervals this tunnel project has been discussed, and practical men have declared it not only feasible, but easily so, with large features of profit. Such a tunnel would be the making of mines, and the making of Greenwood. Last year an eastern capitalist expressed surprise that the opportunity had not been already seized, and offered to contribute a large part of the initial capital and within the present month others have expressed themselves ready to invest in the scheme. Where'is the man willing and fit to launch'it 'c Such au one would need be content to indentify himself with Greenwood for years, because it. would need close attention and close business methods. To find such an one is the only difficult feature of the matter because men large enough to carry- through this undertaking want to.confine their to so small a town and so remote- a district. * The big men like big places as well as big schemes, choice anchorage for themselves as well as large profit's. But the scheme is inevitable and while waiting why may not some smaller man, but of the right quality take up this affair and by its success make a greater man of himself ? The carrying out of such an enterprise would not need enormous capital. A four mile tunnel would reach from Boundary Creek to the heart of the great Phoenix camp and at a 'depth of say 2000 feet. The east hill is proven to contain many high grade leads aud these and others would be tapped enroute. Revenue from ores would flow into the treasury almost from the start. If connected with some of the high grade mines from the beginning so much the better. Between Boundary _Creek_andJHhoenix_are. the Elkhorn, Providence, Fremont, Strathmore, Defiance, Prince Henry, Crescent, Helen, Dynamo, Mavis, Tip Top, E. P. U., Bay, Skylark and other known high grade properties. A tunnel started from any one of several points in the valley would pass through several of these at considerable depth. If with the scheme a concentrating plant and possibly a small custom sraelten were combined, grist would come to its mill from the beginning. The ores of which there would be many leads, all crosscut, could be extracted on a royalty basis. The undertaking need not be financed from the beginning. Like a railroad pushed by sections into new country as that already traversed become profitable, so this project could be pushed from lead to lead only so fast as development justified it aud as returns made it easy. The high grade properties east of Bouudary Creek have all grown richer and larger with depth and this single enterprise would mean the demonstration of the great value of many of them. And iu the end what an admirable outlet for the heavy ore tonnage of Phocuix such a tunnel would be. What railway would haul ore for many miles over a heavy nioutitaim grade when a water grade of four miles could be substituted. Unless private enterprise takes up this idea it is only a question of time when one of the railways will. The relation of such an enterprise to Greenwood's future need not be discussed. It would not be exaggeration to say that it would mean as much for the town as all it has at present combined, Although British Columbia is a very large and sparsely settled province the percentage of the Post office expenditures to Postmasters returns is much lower than ia some of the Provinces. The percentage of expenses to revenue in the several Provinces for year ending June 30th, 1906, were as follows: , .*''. *��� Manitoba.... ............... 18 per cent. Quebec 20 " Ontario 22 " British Columbia ............ 24 " Sask. and Alberta... ....36 " Nova Scotia .................... 40 " P.E.i ; .:..'.;...-. .40 " The expense of the Greenwood ofiice was $1089.78, and the revenue S4012.82. THE COAL TROUBLE A Story of Mail's Arbitrary Methods. SETTLEMENT AT MIDWAY We are gratified to learu that the prospects are good for the planting of a French colony at Midway. Midway is a most beautiful and fertile spot and they who contemplate settling thereabout need have no hesitancy about buying lands there or north or west at present prices. The soil is good, the climate good, crops are reliable and prices good. If Rev. Father Perraux should decide on settling his French colony in the neighborhood, we would look to see French thrift work a great transformation in the entire neighborhood.

ADVERTISING ART We are bargains. poor at bluster, but rich in "You get more change back when yon trade with us To pass us by would be an injustice to your pocketbook. Not as a favor; not on sentimental grounds - we mean to get your trade by deserving it. Like the woman chopping wood, we are not doing thij for fun. Our object is more business. Last December C. P. Rhoden registered a letter, containing a draft for $23 issued by the Okanagan State bank to Montgomery Ward, the great Chicago mail order pirates. Montgomery Ward denied ever having received the letter after being jacked up for failing to fill the order. ��� A tracer was sent out by the postoffice department, and, lo and behold, the draft was found in the local bank, marked paid, to Montgomery Ward by the Fidelity National bank of Chicago. Montgomery Ward may not like it, but will have to make good. Hail the letter contained money the sender would probably been out the $23. This should be a lesson to people to shun the mail order house as they would a pestilence. They get the best of the buyer some way in the end.��� Palmer Mountain Prospector. The dependence of the multiplied interests not only of the interior of British Columbia, but of Alberta and the new prairie provinces on the coal supply of the Crow's Nest makes a cessation of fuel output a matter of grave concern. The coal fields situation never seems to be on a harmonious basis. Somebody is always creating trouble there and unrest appears characteristic of the field. When the men are not busy trying to force the operators, the operators are doing something to irritate the men. There was peace aud stable conditions for a few years after the former great strike at Fernie but so soon as the period of truce was-up, unrest began again. A few weeks ago representatives of both sides,had a prolonged conference at Calgary. But nothing came of it. Nobody- concerned, appeared to -want to anticipate events sure to come unless an agreement were reached. The managers appeared- arbitrary and the men appeared obstinate. The meeting'dissolv- ed, the men returned'to work, the uew conciliation act was appealed to. " But into a heap of inflammable material mischievous hands droppedjlighted firebrands. Sherman it is alleged kept the men ignorant ��� of advices from ' headquarters, and mine managers posted unhappy notices. And so the men, deceived by their leader and disgruntled by.,.their employer's acts 'quit'work." Lots of them left the country, whether to better their condition or to get beyond the possible effects of the uew law's administration- it may not be said. And so the output of fuel ceased. Following that came stoppage of the mining, the smelting, the milling industries. Even railways pinched for fuel had to abandon freight traffic. This again effected other industries and other fields of trade were touched and stagnation general through a wide area took the place of activity. The government realized that it was up to it to do something and sent the deputy minister of labor west. Boards of trade and towns everywhere through the interior anxious to help remove the trouble sent representatives to Fernie. Perhaps never before in the history of the Canadian West was the mischievous effect of men's blunders _more_keenly felt. nor greater zeal displayed in the effort to find a solution. The first two clays of the present week found conference and colloquy the order of the clay. But no good came of it. The works remained silent and the men kept moving away. The country at large was paying the penalty. If it were necessary to raise the price of fuel in order to meet tbe raise asked for iu the rate of wages, industries would have gladly stood it, rather than shut down. But such a solution would not suit coal mining methods. Paralysis of a country appears preferable to sacrifice of pride. During Tuesday's conference none of those who had gone from Boards of Trade to use their influence in the crisis were admitted. Even newspaper men were excluded. Liudsley seemed the bugbear of both operators and miners, if reports are to be believed and his sou was present to assist him. During Wednesday and Thursday conferences were continued and at times it looked as if a settlement would be reached before the Board of Conciliation "���et together.

COAL TROUBLE CURE The constant recurrence of trouble in the coal "iiH'ds-iovoly^ ing the welfare of the supporting industries of the entire interior should invite the attention of the Dominion government to the opening of its coal reserves on the Crow's Nest Pass. It was hoped that the government reserve of 50,000 acres of coal land in the heart of the coal country would act as a safety valve to the rapacity of the coal barons. But it has not so proved. The operators do not appear to realize their relation to the public upon whom they depend for a: market. Instead of trying to anticipate trouble some of them at least appear to invite it, even provoke it. When the recent meeting in Calgary resulted in uo adjustment of the pending trouble, and the men returned to work for thirty days aud invoked the government to apply its new can- ciliation measure it was believed that the friction would be removed and the country's industries saved from paralysis. But it appears that the management of the Crow's Nest did not want any so peacable a situation and forthwith posted notices intimating that wages were to be reduced instead of increased. This of course acted as an irritant to the men who without declaring a strike walked out. The miners elsewhere followed the example and fuel supplies for railways, miners and smelters immediately ceased. The company managemnet claims it did this because* the men had overlooked some preliminaries iu asking the department of labor to apply its machinery. And yet capital is constantly talking of the ignorance and brutality of labor. Did labor ever show any greater ignorance and brutality than this ? We think the time has fully come for the government to get action on its coal properties. If they were opened up aud coal sold at a small, advance above cost the mine operators would be taught a wholesome lesson and the country would be benefited. The'great mining industries now depending on the whim of some over-greedy capitalists or uuder- capablemanager would be able to make plans ahead knowing that fuel supply was assured. Southeastern British Columbia's wealth can never be developed while the fuel supply re- maius as now. It is too precarious.- The present status of the metalliferous mining industry is imperilled and the well-being of thousands of workmen placed in jeopardy by the greed of stockholders in the coal mines aud the incapacity of the men sent from their offices in Toronto to manage a concern vital to the country's weal. Will the government take cognizance of the gravity of the case and act as the guardian of the peoples rights ? Without questioning the value The poor are not without their compensations. While the palaces of the wealthy suffered in the recent earthquake in Mexico, the adobe homes of the poor were unharmed. Billions of tons of coal owned by the people of Canada, in the name of its government in the Crow's Nest, r Why not let the people dig it out, and sell it to the people, for the people's benefit. _____ '���-"���-��� Buster Brown hit the nail on the head when in philosophical vein he says : "Too few people do their own thinking. They let the doctor, the church and the newspaper tell them what to believe. Wc regret that the Midway Star sees-lit to censure Greenwood for deciding to have a'celebration on May 24th aud 25th next. Greenwood has been a good patron of Midway celebrations for years and has not entered the field itself and doubting that Midway would care to undertake a celebration this year decided to have one at home. We trust our Midway friends will not heed the Star's intimation to remain at home on the 24th but will return some of the calls Greenwood has been making on her for years past. President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton is reported to have declared that the tobacco chewing habit made statesman. We have always supposed that the habit made men reflective because obliged to use their mouths so much for other purposes they could not overwork them for talking, But as to making statesmen of, them we are in doubt. We know ward politicians that can hit a crack accurately ten feet away, but then we know others that can fresco a floor for several feet around a cuspidore and never hit the hole. No we are not conversant enough ' with our statesmen's habits to size this uew proposition up correctly but all the same we doubt it. If our- readers could spend one morning loolcing through the letters received from all over Canada by the Zam-Buk Co., it would bring- home to them with irrisistable foixe the healing-, virtues of this great household balm. Old women, young* women, wives, mothers, and aven young girls have something to say about how Zam-Buk did this or that good office in their home. Many of these writers give permission'to.make extracts from their grateful testimony. From these the following were taken at random: "I was troubled for some weeks with salt rheum in hands aud arms arid was using a salve which did uie little good. On* receiving a sudply'o'f Zam-Buk I applied it, and it really seemed to act like magic! The itching and burning ceased, aud jn a few days the skin was cleared and healthy." So writes Miss A. R, Butchard, of North KcppeL "Three boxes of Zam-Buk cured me of eczema, from which Iliad suffered a long time." So says Mrs. Gladden, of Mansonville, Quo. "Zam-Buk cured a-" case . of blood poison in my family, and I wish to thank you for the great blessing it has proved," is the effect of a letter from Mrs. Webb, of Dovercourt. And so one could go on quoting extract after extract, showing- how Zam-Buk cures chronic sores, ulcers, abscesses, bad leg, itch and blood poison; tak^s the soreness out of cuts and burns, and grows uew, healthy skin over injured or diseased places. All stores and druggists sell at fifty oents a box, or the Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, will mail for price. -AND Stages leave daily for Ferry, Wash., Mother Lode Mine, and Phoenix.

Most people live pretty well up to the limit of their powers, and so long as everything goes smoothly that is apparently all right; but a "jolt" or a "jar" in the shape of business worries, domestic anxieties, or an i attack of La Grippe, Pneumonia, Typhoid, or other wasting- disease, suddenly reveals the' fact that tliere is a sad lack of reserve force to meet these contingencies and the result is serious, often fatal. A wise man will see to it that his system is fully fortified against sudden attack.

An organization known as the Canadian Rational Sunday League has been formed whose aims are set forth in the following resolution: "That it is desirable to organize an association similar to the London National Sunday League for prsmoting healthy and innocent recreation oii Sundays, and to oppose tyrannical and restrictive legislation regarding Sunday, and it is felt that recent legislation ou this subject has beeu carried too far, interfering with individual liberty to an "extent-urilciiovvn "in-any- other country under the British flag.

The fact that ihe business situation is keeping in advance of the development of transportation facilities is an evidence of the great possibilities of the country. The transportation problem really is the problem0 of the country, the solution of which probably is of greater importance than any other phase of western life.

Thomas Longboat, the Indian runner, of Toronto, Canada, today broke the record for the Boston Athletic association 25-mile Marathon road race from Ashland to Boston, and defeated a field of 114 runners after the most closely contested race since the event was inaugurated, in 1897. Longboat covered the distance in 2 hours 24 minutes 20 4-5 seconds, this being 5 minutes 2 4 5 seconds faster than the previous record, which was established in 1901 by J. J. Caffrey of Hamilton, Ont. Robert Fowler of the Cambridgeport Gymnasium association finished second, also within the previous record His time was 2 hours 27 minutes 54 4-5 seconds. John J. Hays, St. Bartholomew's club abuse*, to the detriment of minority stockholders. The unlimited assessment feature, which is for emergency only, is desirable in any company, whether mining or otherwise. As a life-boat on board the steamer may be the means of saving passengers, or the vested power to negotiate a loan of a few thousand dollars may save from failure a man- facturing or commercial enterprise, so should the power to levy a limited assessment save a mining company at some possible point in its career, un- forseen by the original promotors. A limited assessment feature provides protection to the interests of all stockholders, with deteriment to none. In its-last analysis the success of any mining company largely, depends on the management, in either condition. It would seem to be a more reasonable theory for incorporators to provide some elasticity for the future legitimate operations of a company. It is no proof either way that because a stock is assessable it is sure eventually to make a paying mine, (though the chances are in its favor), nor because a stock is non-assessable that the mine will fail. There are more successes- among mining companies which have levied assessments when needed, than among companies in which this has been impossible. So well is this fact recognized in the older mining districts, that some of the states have passed laws prohibiting the forming of mining companies with the non-assessable feature, hence more divideud payers have been opened up than ever before. Summing up, it would seem to be an evidence of foresight and good management, for mining companies to provide themselves with the limited assessment feature when incorporating (say for 10 to 30 per cent of par), not with the idea of using it, simply as an emergency clause, just as fire insurance is to the merchant. As such it would be of benefit to all should the occasion ever arise. New York, was third, minutes 38 3-5 seconds.' in 2 hours 30 Mr. Aylesworth amply demonstrated in his magnificent reply to Mr. Foster on Wednesday that he is fit to rank with the greatest Parliamentarians who have stood iu that Chamber. There was every temptation to make a rancorous party speech, but instead of that the House heard an address marked with the calmness and precision of a judicial utterance. No fair-minded opponent could say 'that there was an attempt to press the facts too far. Indeed,^ presentation of the facts 'in lucid order was the scope of it. They, were placed side by side, one after another, until they stood like a British square���unbreakable. It was a speech which which those who heard.it will ii ever'forget ��� for its calm force, ease, and completeness. ��� If ever a few occupants of the Opposition benches thought they could howl such a man out of parliament they have probably by this time discovered -their mistake. ���Globe. SHE'D NOTICEl!) IT "Look here," said the husband. "You musn't complain that way. Remember, at least, that I have to foot the bills." "Yes, you foot them." retorted ���wife. "You kick at every single of them." the one ASSESSABLE OR NOT On the subject of the merits of assessable ��� or. non-assessable mining stocks, M. E. Day is of Butte, contributes the following to the Mining World : In even a limited discussion of this subject, we should endeavor to Iree our McGill university has had two fires recently, both of unknown origin. The damage is estimated at half a million dollars. It is reported that the Great Northern Railway is to build an S00 foot wharf on the Fraser River at Westminister and to make that place the home port for a fleet of Alaska steam- ersr The first train from Edmonton over.f the C. N. R. in twelve days pulled into Winnipeg recently. The passengers tell many tales of trying experiences and often privations. J. Chesholm, mayor of Battleford, who left there on a special train some time ago to undergo an operation for appendicitis at \vinnipeg, but whose train was stalled, necessitating the operation tn a drug store at Warman village, succumbed to the effects. The New Brunswick Legislature has placed itself on record as being in favor of having the Canadian ensign float over the school houses of the provinces during the school hours. The Board of Education was recommended to take the matter up with the secretaries of school boards and was empowered to appropriate a reasonable sum to assist in purchasing flags in cases where school boards are not willing to bear the whole cost. minds from prejudice, and get down to the business aspect of ihe matter, with a view of arriving at correct conclusions. �� We know that the term "non-assessable'' sounds good to many j-eople accustomed to regard it as a highly desirable feature of mining stock, and its popularity has been abused occasionally by unworthy mining companies, which use it as "bait" for their stoclfi-selling operations. It is also being used by meritorious companies. Statistics show that the non-assessable feature is responsible for tlie closing down and failure of more mines and companies than all other causes combined; but who ever heard of a genuine "wild-cat" starting out deliberately with assessable stock? h It often happens hi case ot a worthy "prospect," that stock has been sold too cheap to complete dcve!opment to the dividend stage. Ore may have been found, but the treasury depleted by the operations necessary to reach that point; a few paltry assessments might have enabled the progress to be made, in a very short while, to where dividends would be easily possible. When a company has. been incorporated as non-assessablei and the ^stock is sold as such, it is impossible, in practice, afterwards to obtain -the necessary unanimous cousent of stockholders to a reorganization on an assessable basis, even to protect their original investment. Ordinarily the mine is then closed down, and all investors are compelled to suffer pecuniary loss. On the other hand, where the power to assess is unlimited amount at any aud all times is vested in a company, it is not always just to the small stockholder, who is compelled to pay his share without having voice in the expenditure of the money. This may be said to constitute a temptation whereby unlimited power in some cases, might be subject to BRITISH COLUMBIA In his recent assay ou the subject "Is British Columbia as rich potentially as the other Provinces of the Dominion" Ex-governor Mackintosh presents an admirable argument. One list of figures given struck,us very forcibly, and which we subjoin : "Many may be inclined to question the correctness of the above statement. If so, the most sceptical would be convinced by a careful examination of the tabulated statements and. diagrams, contained in the last census. These figures prove beyond cavil, for notwithstanding the fact that British Columbia has been unjustly treated, and at times unfairly handicapped, her population, per capita, is richer than those of, the other provinces. Here is the proof: (1) Value of Land and Houses, per Occupan,t. British Columbia $5 484 Manitoba 4 703 Territories 3 3S0 Ontario ���. 4 963 Other provinces (average) 2 000 (2) Production per Farm.

Postmaster-General Lemieux will likely give the details of the agreement to parliament and the country at once. The decision reached at the congress in Rome to carry letters of one- ounce instead of half an ounce for two cents from Canada to Britain will take effect at once instead of in October as previously arranged. The question of establishing uninterrupted communication between Prince Edward Island and the mainland by means of a tunnel under Northumberland Straits has been a fruitful topic of discussion during the present session of Parliament. Some light is thrown on the subject by a report made to the Department of Marine last year by Mr.' Eugene D. Lafleur, chief engineer of the Department of Public Works, and Mr. A. St. Laurent, assistant engineer. According to their report, based principally on surveys and soundings made at the request of the Government in 1892 by Sir Douglas Fox and Mr. A. W. Palmer of the Institute of Civil Engineers, the estimated cost of, the proposed tunnel is SIS,- 045,000- It is admitted, however, that this is but an approximate estimate. Other estimates of cost have placed the amount required to construct the tunnel at anywhere between nine million and forty millions. The- tunnel proposed in the survey of 1892 would be seven and a half miles long and would reach a depth of 150 feet below the water level. If the funds were available Messrs. Lafleur and St. Laurent say the construction of the tunnel is feasible, there being no insurmountable engineering difficulties to overcome. Though Port Arthur is expecting much from its silver and copper mines, it expects more from the opening of the enormous beds of iron ores adjacent to the town.

A CHANGE WANTED Iu the recent labor enquiry at Victoria one of the witnesses, a laboring man from Wales, and in the country a year said : "When he -went to the Dominion Government agent at Cardiff, who told him of condition at Fort William, Winnipeg and other places. On inquiring about British Columbia, however, he was told, "We don't want you in British Columbia, we want you in the prairies." Now we would like to ask what right the government agent has to say what "we" want. "We" is the people of Canada who pay his bills and not the man who merely acts as spokesman for that people. We presume that the statement made is correct and if so the government of Canada better get another agent, or the present one better learn to know his place.

The Finest Line of Miner's Shoes Select From. in the City to 2 The birthday party in the Presbyterian church Thursday evening was a great success both in a numerical, financial and social way. The plot calls for each visitor to put in an envelope an admission price one cent for each year of his age. The scheme works well for benevolent ladies to raise the limit and obscure their real age b3' putting a dollar in.the fund. A ccuiple of years ago the Dominion parliament- voted an appropriation of $15,000 to be used for the purpose of building an electric furnace and ascertaining wheteer such ores as magnetic and ores containing high sulphur cetild be 'successfully, treated in the electric furnace. These experiments were conducted at Sault Ste. Marie, and simply confirmed the'report of the Haanel commission to Europe.' N. Thompson of Vancouver, being greatly impressed with the process, went to England a year ago and succeeded iu interesting English capital to establish au experimental electric plant at Bow, near London. The success at La Praz and Sault Ste, Marie have been repeated at Bow, and now a company has been orgauized to treat the waste ores of copper and tin from the mines of Cornwall by this process, which will yield a most profitable return. Mr. Thompson is anxious to establish au electric smelting plant in British Columbia, and R. Turnbull, the Scotch engineer who came out with Dr. He- rault to conduct the experiments at the Soo eighteen months ago, and who has had an extensive experience in connection with smelting, is prepared to erect a plant at Welland, Ont., if the government will grant a special bounty covering a term of years.���Inland Sentinal.
