[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.

Properties Sold This Week���Many Mining Men Look Over the Camp. percentage of attendance in Divisions- Is quite low- This is partly due to the fact that s*even pupils attended for a few days during lhe early part of the month and then le^t school, some of these leaving town and others having finished their course Further, this low percentage is not to be wondered at when one notes that out of forty- two pupils actually attending during the month, only four, or less than 10 per cent., were present at every session. If the report of Nelson public school for the= same month be examined, it will be seen that almost 50 per cent of the pupils enrolled in all the divisions were present at every session. There is no reason why Greenwood public school should not have as good a recoid as this, for the majority of those who were irregular in their attendance during the past month were kept at home for some trifling cause���trifling in comparison with the great loss they themselves are sustaining, and the needless annoyance and inconvenience they ir��- flict on the teacher bv such absence. It is quite evident to all that such irregularity has an injurious effect upon the general tone of the whole school, and that it is impossible for an}' teacher, while such conditions prevail, to raise the standing of a school. But the results of such carelessness and indifference fall most heavily upon the offender himself���imperfect attendance must inevitably mean imperfect education. The foundations of his education are not laid broad and deep, and thus seriously handicapped he is obliged to go out into the world and face its stern realities. It is, therefore, urgently requested that parents give this matter their most serious consideration, and that they uphold the hands of the teachers by having their children attend every session, J. L. Watson. Among claims in the Greenwood high-grade belt, attracting attention of late, the Preston, located about two miles east of the town, on the Phoenix wagon road,has recently forged rapidly to the front. The property adjoins the Last Chance, Crescent and Cora- Canadian. The two former are shipping and the last is being actively developed. On the Preston there are three distinct leads, paralleling each other and distinctly traceable along the full length of the claim. Each1 of these is high grade ore and has given assays of from $78 to $255 per ton. From No 1 vein, so called from having been more developed than the other two, a shipment has. been made to the Trail smelter, yielding returns of $78.20;per ton. The ore for this shipment was obtained from open cuts on the-vein, which is from eight to ten inches wide at the surface. A shaft has been sunk on the vein ahd is in good ore at the bottom. -���. ��� No. 2 vein has been trenched along the surface for a distance of 350 feet to depths varying from 3 to 10 feet. Ore is showing throughout the whole cut and is of an average width of 16 in. This ore is identical in character with that taken from the Skylark, whiwh lies a short distance to the south of the Preston. No. 3 vein has also been exposed by open cutting, showing good pay ore throughout.- -. '.' - ���'��� ;.-���'*- The veins have a dip of '45 degrees from the surface of the hill, and can be mined most economically by tunnels from the lower levels of the claim. These tunnels can be run to cut all the veins. There is at present about a half car of'ore in the ore house and several cars will be shipped in the near future ahd regular shipments easily maintained. The leads are quartz carrying anti- monial silver and gold. The formation is fissile slate and diorite. The Preston is surveyed and has an area of about 48 acres. Active work will shortly be continued on the property, and, as before stated, ore shipped regularly. It seems certain that the prospects of this mine becoming a.dividend- payer during the next few months are -very-br i gh t._-^----^-----^-^--^^z.^_-_-g_i___a____._ THE HELEN. u An important deal was closed this week by Chicago capitalists, represented here by Alex. Miller, by which the Helen, one of the best known mines in the high-grade belt, was bought and paid for. The property is located on the boundary line of Greenwood and Anaconda, and is only a quarter of a mile from the B. C. Copper company's smelter. The price paid was on the basis of $50,000 for the mine, and 'the new owners have provided ample funds for active work to be vigorously prosecuted. The Helen has a most interesting history and was one of the first high- grade properties in Greenwood tb ship ore. The original owners, years ago, packed with horses considerable ore to Marcus, Wash. The ore found on the claim ib as high grade as any ever found on the belt, some of it running up to S500 per ton, chiefly gold. The ore averages between $125 and $150 per ton. As is generally the caBe with mines of this character here, the Helen has several leads paralleling each other. Three of them have had surface work only done. On the lead on which work has been concentrated, which, for the sake of identification is termed No. 1, a shaft is down about 100 feet, and drifts and crosscuts on the vein for about 180 feet. The width of the No 1 vein is from 8 to 16 inches and is of" a massive character and clean ore throughout. Five or six tons are now ready sacked for shipment and regular carload shipments will be begun immediately and maintained. An excellent wagon road runs to the workings where there is a good shaft house, blacksmith shop and all necessary equipment. The-formation is pvroclastic greenstone overlying granite. Trenches have been dug the entire length of the claim across the leads, proving their continuity- This mine has undoubtedly a great future and the new owners expect that by putting on a good force of men the mine can produce as much ore as the Provinence, and other big shippers in the high- grade belt. Previous shipments from the Helen gave results in the neighborhood of $135. It is understood that the new owners have sufficient working capital to thoroughly develop the mine and install all machinery necessary. Chicago people seem to .be gradually getting control of the cream of the produciug mines in the high-grade belt. At present capital from that city controls the Providence and the Barbara atid holds large interests in many other properties, while money from almost every state in the Union is invested in various other mines nearby. In the Helen the Chicago gentlemen interested have undoubtedly secured one of the hest' properties in the camp. . -. .. THE STRATHMORE. Since the Strathmore7was incorporated work has been actively prosecuted, and with such excellent results that several of the most prominent shareholders from Colfax visited the camp a few days ago to see for themselves the progress of the work. The visitors were John Richardson, James Gordon and E. Torrence. Mr., Tor- rence. is owner of the Fidelity National Bank building at Spokane, and is a well known aud influential citizen of the neighboring state. It was the first visit of the last named gentleman, but they all left the camp much impressed with the outlook for big results in mining. The result of the good returns being made in this camp to outside investors may be so far-reaching as to guarantee that at all times deserving claims will, if offered at the right figure and on reasonable, terms, find.ready purchasers. The good name the camp enjoys among outside investors, particularly from the United States, is a most encouraging factor in the future development of the bonanta ore bodies lying right in Greenwood town. THE KREMONT. Quite recently the J remont claim, situated between the Providence and the Strathmore,=has been-secured _>y-a- local company, composed of citizens of Grand Forks, Denoro and Greenwood. Work is being actively prosecuted under the direction of C. Scott Galloway. The company is working on an extension of the Providence lead by an open cut, and, judging from the float, carrying native silver which has been'found; Ihey are in close proximity tc this lode. There are two shafts on the property, about 40 and 60 feet deep respectively, and both are in good ore. There are numerous open cuts. It is the intention of the new company to vigorously continue active development work, and it is expected that within a very short time yet another shipping mine will be added to the already big list of high-grade shippers which encircle Greenwood. Next week a large party of Chicago capitalists is expected to arrive in the city. They are coming to inspect their interests and, if satisfied, it will be another strong factor in the development of tbe camp. William Bailey of Chicago spent several days during the past week in the camp and left well pleased with rhe result of his visit. To a reporter of The Times he expressed himself as being much impressed with the showing on the high-grade claims and it is fully expected will, before long, be actively connected with one or more of the high-grade claims. While here, he visited the Providence, Helen, Strathmore, Barbara, Skylark, Preston and Last Chance. It was Mr. Bailey's first visit but he slated that it would not be his last by any means. Mr. Bailey has a large following in the Windy City, and the results of his visit here wiil doubtless mean more capital from Chicago for Greenwood BOUNDARY OREEK TIMES. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. /. H.

The annual meeting-" of Greenwood Board of Trade was held on Wednesday last in the office of Mayor Naden. A fair attendance was present, consisting- chiefly of those who have stood by the board from the beginning-. The secretary's work for the year showed consinerable work done and in hand by the board, a. large ��part of it with the co-oper?.tion of other boards of Eastern British Columbia. The financial statement showed a large number of members in arrears, and a resolution was passed instructing the secretary to notify all such that, in accordance with a resolution of the preceding meeting-, a payment of five dollars would be accepted from each memoer in settlement in full to March 31st, last, and the names of all not so paying would be erased from the rolls. The members present expressed regret that so many business men had not identified themselves with the board, and it was decided to hold no further meetings until such time as at least fifteen members signed a requisition and agreed to be present thereat. The officers elected for the ensuing year were: W. M. Law, president; C H. Fair, vice-president, and \V. G. Gaunce.secretary treasurer.

Railroad legislation in this province is very much like the game of Klondike���not even the man behind the "dummy" knows how it's going to turn out. The monthly report of the Greenwood school, and the comments by the priucipal, should receive serious consideration by parents. Too often the whole responsibility for the lack of progress in the school is placed upon the teacher, while as a rule the parents, through carelessness, are to blame. The Greeuwood Board of Trade appears to have difficulty in getting business men to attend the meetings or pay their dues. This difficulty could be overcome���if numbers are the chief requisite��� by. having a larger number of officers, say, honorary president and ten vice presidents, with power to add to their numbers as the membership increases. This might add to the numbers if not to the efficiency of the board. Much dissatisfaction is felt among local stockholders in the Providence atthe manner .iu which the business of the company is being conducted. In the two years previous to the time���five months ago���when the present management took charge, the mine paid regular dividends. Since that time noi dividends have been paid, although the old management, it is said, left large reserves of ore in sight. Pull details will be given in a future issue.

To the eye it presents a snow white appearance marked; with wind waves and ripples similar, to a tropic ocean. Yet it is not. snow-like in its torrid heat, a heat that-is intense. The desert contains vast bodies of crystalline salt, which; are used to sc-me extent in the herding of cattle. Its gypsum product has never been given attention, but it issaidunliinited, quantities of the mineral exist. In 1841 a nugget of gold weighing 22 ounces was found in an old river bed in the county Wicklow, Ireland. This is the only "''instance' of a mass of gold having been found in Ireland. Active search of the river bed was made for other nuggets, but it never proved up others, and the popular supposition is that the 22-ounce nugget was brought into Ireland and lost by its former owner. ' ; One of the most peculiar finds of gold known was in Paragua in 1857, when a mass of rock that had evidently fallen from one of the high 'mountains',, was found to contain free gold in mas-! ses, one nugget weighing 55 pounds and the whole rock mass is said to have yielded 241 pounds of gold. The rock was found at the. foot of a high peak, but though dilligent search was made for its origin, it was never found. There are known 43 minerals in which gold is contained; 14 minerals contain mercury; 101 minerals are known to carry copper; lead is .found in 83; zinc is known to occur in 23; the tin minerals are limited to 4; there are 24 ores carrying nickel; 87 minerals Have btten proven to contain iron; manganese is distributed through 47 minerals; gold, as is well known, occurs almost wholly native, tut it is found sparingly mineralised by tellurium in sylvanite, nagyagite aud petzite; antimony is found in 11 species, and 19 carr3* bismuth. |��j =���Oresare^cornpoundsiof^-the^metals,- not metals in the native state.

The method of applying hydrogen peroxide in cases of cyanide poisoning is thus given by its discoverer, Dr. Rudolph Kobert, at one time professor of toxicology at the University of Dorpat: Wash the stomach with .5 per per cent solution of potassium permanganate of hydrogen peroxide; then inject the solution of hydrogen peroxide hypodermically in small doses and considerable caution. One of the most recent determinations of the density of *he earth -was that of Messrs. Richarz and Menzel. These gentlemen commenced their investigations fifteen years before they published an important paper on this subject before the Royal Prussian academy. The investigation receives additional weight from the fact that it was initiated by the great physcist, Helmholtz. They found that the average density of the planet was 5.505. Using this figure, they determined the weight of our planet to be about 5,690 trillion metric tons, with a possible error, amounting 1.06. This error in percentages is very small, but the immensity of the earth's mass can be appreciated by the fact that this small error of a trifle over 1 per cent. would make a mass 25,000 times greater than, the mass of the whole of the Himalayas.���Mining Reporter, H) r rifP BOUNDARY OREEK TIMES 000-<X><WX>OOX)00000<>OOOOCH>0<I | Mining News | \ of the 'Boundary. $ OOoOOWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO J. C. Haas, M. E., was in the city this week, examining the work being done on the Golconda. Shipments this week from the high- grade belt ���were: EPU one car, and Elkhorn and .Last Chance each -two cars.' _ It is understood that the Diamond Hitch property on the North Fork of Kettle river will resume operations shortly. John Mack put a force of men to work on the Spokane Tuesday morning. The Spokane lies north of the Providence. ' Thursday morning Geo. A. McLeod left Grand Forks with a gang of men to start work on the McF"in!ey group, North Fork of Kettle river. 7 Clement Vacher, superintendent of the Sally group near Beaverdell ou the West Fork, was in the cit}' this week attending a meeting of his company. ; Bob Yuill has just completed assessment on the Golden Joint and Northern Belle, on Pass Creek, owned by Carl Nelson. The lead is about fifteen feet in width, carrying copper-gold values. Carl Nelson, formerly of the Norden hotel here, but now of White-fish-Mont. was in town this week looking after his mining interests in the Boundary. He commences work next week on a group of five claims which he owns on Hardy mountain, near Grand Forks. A deal is pending for the purchase of the C. P. R. property near Franklin camp, North Fork of Kettle river, the purchasers being Canadian capitalists. The claim is one of the high- grade gold and copper properties of the North Fork. A recent assay from this property showed returns of S26.50 in gold. Ellis Lovejoy, a prominent mining engineer from Columbus, Ohio, visited Greenwood during the past week. Mr. Lovejoy was a fellow graduate with Mr. Frederic Keffer, manager of the. B. C- Cppper company, and while here visited-the Mother Lode, and Emma mines. A full aecouut of the visit to 'the Emma will appear next week. John East, one of the first prospectors in the Boundary and now owning a frflit ranch on the Kettle river, is a visitor in the city. Mr. East, made locations at Camp McKinney in 1887, the year the Cariboo was discovered. He vvas also one of the first to prospectors in Deadwood camp. He was one of the original owners of the Primrose, adjoining the Mother Lode, and located in 1894, and located the Sunset in June, 1891, abou_ a month after the discovery of the Mother Lode. John Moran returned from Los Angeles, California, Friday last H��_ was away a couple of months and greatly enjoyed the trip. When asked as to the probability of worlt beinp, started at an early date on the Big Copper in Copper camp, Mr. Moran said he could not give a definite answer at the present time, but hoped that (-.ome arrangement could be made with the owners of the other half interest by which development could be ..startedVand the mine become sijregular shipper. For years the Big Copper has been considered one of the best of the low grade properties in the Boundary district, but owing to a dog-in-the- manger policy pursued by the owners the property has bean lying idle, and of no benefit to either the owners or the district. The HaU Mining and Smelting company of Nelson has closed down its operating lead stack for want of ore. Only one stack has been used since February 25. At the Trail smelter the single operating lead stack, out of three available ones, will close down almost immediately for want of silver- lead ore. The trouble has arisen from the Sloean . miners over-estimating their probable output when it was agreed to let the St. Eugene ship abroad. The St, Eugene agreed to supply the difference required to keep the home smelters busy, but although it has each month sent more than half of the ore supplied to Trail and Nelson, tbe other silver-lead mines have failed to output anything like the amount originally estimated. A great deal of dissatisfaction exists over the working of the concession granted to the St. Eugene company, but the company is sending what it agreed to Trail and Nelson, and has a big contract to fill with European plants.

The Loan and Health Bylaws Introduced and Passed* Cigarette Smoking Ruled Out of Order by City Clerk. At the meeting- of city council Monday nig-ht there were present the mayor and Aldermen Bunting*, Caulfield, Parker, and Smailes. Minutes of previous meeting read ancl adopted. Communications were. read or rather partly read���when . the city c'terk asked the city solicitor to "kindly choke that snipe." Whether it was a syndicate cig\ or not was not brought out in the discussion that followed, but if it were, an unfair advantage was taken of the city clerk while he was busily engaged in reading communications, and could not very well attend to the work in hand and keep his eye on the cig at the same time. After Alderman Caulfield had called the reporter's attention to the fact that the cig. was ti*ore than, half gone, the city solicitor blttshingly "choked the snipe," and the reading of communications was resumed. From St. Louis, stating that water pipe was ready for inspection and that a representative of the city be sent to ' look it over.

In reference to the crossing at Wellington and Copper streets, the muj'or suggested that block pavement be put in as an experiment. Alderman Caul- lield thought that block system should be installed at all the principal crossings. The city engineer also believed that this would be in the line of economy. It was moved ancl carried that the court oP revision consist of the mayor, and Aldermen Smales, Caulfield, Bunting and Parker, ancl that the first meeting of lhe court be held May 29. Chairman Bunting of the waterworks recom in ended lowering of the main on Silver street, near McNeill & Cropley's, to avoid difficulty that has heretofore been encountered through frost. The city engineer reported that very little progress had yet been made oil the Lind creek dam. Five men are at work. He also reported that dam would occupy part of the Mayflower and Little Home mineral claims and some arrangement would have to be made with the owners in reference to surface rights.
