[The Boundary Creek 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.

Sperry -Company, EUL RELIGIOUS SERVICES. Fully a thousand people took part in the services in honor of Victoria the Good. The residents of the town were aug-umented by many from Deadwood and other mining- camps. The procession was nearly three-quarters of a mile in length and crowds were turned away from the Auditorium where the religious services were held. At 1:30 the city council met in the city hall, passed a formal resolution of sorrow at the death of the Queen arid fealty to the King-, and adjourned to take part in the procession. The mar- shalls of the day were Messrs. A. Ferguson, R. Smailes, C. Scott Galloway acid T. M. Gulley. The Midway band led the procession. The band would be a credit to a large city. The music was most appropriate and excellently played. The order of procession was as follows: Midway Band. Police and Firemen. Mayor, Aldermen and Members ofQ Former Councils. Clergy. Board of Trade. -Masons. Independent Order Odd Fellows. Knights of Pithias. - Foresters.. Trades and tabor Council. Western Federation orMiners. Trades Unions. Other Organizations. American citizens. Citizens. The different fraternal societies were well repesented. At the Auditorium the services were -under the dircption of Rev' Mr. Anderson, pastor of the Presbyterian church. At a meeting of the clergy of the city the services published below were agreed upon and that "Mr. Anderson should conduct the same. To Charles J.. Wood must be given a great amount of credit for the tasty decorations of the city hall and the Auditorium particularly. The "stage at the latter place, was a genuine work of art. Mr. Wood did the most of the decorating throughout the city and his work speak volumes for his judgment and taste. The music was in charge of Mr. A. M. Whiteside and he was supported by a union choir from all the city churches. Mr. E. A. Duff presided at the organ. The only address was that of Mayor Jakes who in brief but eloquent terms referred to the death of the Queen. Revs. Robins, Balderston and Davey assisted in the services and a letter of regret was read from Rev. * Father Bedard who was unable to be present.

The first step toward the construction of the Greenwood-Phoenix tramway will be taken in a few days when ti. M. Rice, the well known railway engineer will arrive from Seattle for , the purpose of taking charge of the ' construction of the line. Mr. Rice is well known in the Boundary. During the construction of the C. & V7. railway he was the engineer in charge of the most difficult portions of that most difficult road to^ build. He has the reputation of beiiig one of the most competent railway engineers on the continent and the fact that he has be<~n secured for the purpose of constructing the tramway is a guarantee that the road will be well and quickly built.- Mr. Rice is well acquainted with the topography of the country between here and Phoenix. He made a survey for all the branch lines in the district and from the knowledge thus acquired prepared an excellent map of the district. It is understood that he has three practicable routes for the line between here and Phoenix, but choice will not be made until he goes over the ground. It is understood that the company who have acquired the charter have made arrangements to secure power for the system, from the Cascade Power and Eight,company who own the power on the Kettlerivef at Cascade. This latter company was recently merged into a strong -English-company who have plenty of "capital to harness the large amount of power at that point. As already stated, Mr. Rice is so well acquainted with the country over which the tramway will pass that the preliminary surveys and preparations of estimates of work: should be hurriedly done. It is quite possible that actual construction will be commenced as soon as spring opens. ���"* p3"sr -A* l*?i_j ���>' - -"v? ''"-ci'V* -t iv *��**>���". rn. i _���*--* r, MINING NOTES.

PRAYER. O, God, whose days are without end, and whose mercies cannot be numbered; make us, we beseech Thee, deeply sensible of the shortness and uncertainty of human life, and let Thy Holy Spirit lead us through this vale of misery, in holiness and rightousness all the days of our lives; that when we shall have served in our generation, we may be gathered unto our fathers, having the testimony of a good . consicence ; in the Communion of the Catholic Church, in the confidence of a certain faith; in the comfort of a reasonable, religious, and holy hope ; in favor with Thee our God, and in perfect charity with the world; all which we ask through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen. Now the God of Peace, that brought.again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing to His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom || be glory for eyer and ever. Amen. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and jthe fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with you all evermore. Amen. Shipments of coal and coke are now being made daily from Fernie to both the British Columbia Copper company's aud the Standard Pyritic Smelting company's reduction works. The local smelter is scheduled to "blow iu" on the 15th inst., and the Pyritic some time about the first of March. Randolph Stuart has issued an excellent map of the Boundary district. It contains all the surveyed claims in the different mining camps covered by the map. It is accurate, neatly gotten up and well worth the price to any one desirous' of securing accurate information regarding the Boundary. The Jenckes Machine company has shipped for the Carmi mine, a 60-horse power horizontal tubular boiler, a 16- horse power double-cylinder link motion hoist, cable and other accessories. The plant will be hauled up on sleighs from Midway during the week. " The Carmi has 1,200 tons of shipping ore on the dumps and a number of teams are now employed hauling out the ore to Midway, where it is loaded on the cars and sent to the Pyritic smelter.

NOTICE <uFJioM_MltABS-> THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1901. ASSOCIATED BOARDS OF TRADE The Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia is one of the most important bodies in the interior. It includes every board of trade in Yale and the Kootenays. The Associated Boards of Trade was organized in Rossland some two years ago. It was felt at that time that all the boards of trade of the interior have interests in common and that amalgamated for the purpose of taking action on all questions affecting the general welfare of the people residing within the jurisdiction of the association and more particularly all matters pertaining to and affecting the mining industry, more good could be accomplished than by the boards acting separately. The following boards are at present included in "the Associated Boards of Trade: Nelson, Kaslo, ' Ros.land, Moyie, Grand Forks, Fort Steele, Cascade, Revelstoke, Trail, Greenwood. Phoenix, Vernon and Kamloops. The annual meetings of the board are held on the Thursday following the opening of the legislature which this year falls on Februarv 28th. At the annual meeting in Nelson last year it was decided to hold the annual meeting in Greenwood. There will be present in the city about 40 representative business men, as delegates of the various boards. In addition to these there will also be members of the coast boards of trade and also of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce who have expressed their intention to visit Greenwood to see the blowing in of the smelters. Greenwood has already a reputation for its hospitality and we feel sure that the reputation will be increased by the treatment accorded the prominent visitors who are coming to the ^City.^--_-^-^---------.___ ___-__.-___.,-__-, __��� ���_,____-_____, Notice ts hereby given that application will be made to tlie Legislative Assembly of the Province of British Columbia at its next session for an act to incorporate a eompany with power to construct, equip, maintain and operate a single or double line of railway.of standard or narrow gauge for the purpose of conveying passengers and freight, from a point on Bur- rani Inlet at or near the Cityof Vancouver, thence via the city of New Westminister in au easterly direction along the south side of the valley of the Fraser river to some point on the said Fraser river between the junction of the Chilliwack river with the said Fraser river and the town of Yale, 'thence in au easterly direction along the valleys of the Chilliwack, Coi_uhalla, Tulameen and Similkameen rivers or some of them or the tributaries thereof or some of them by the most feasible route to a poiut between Penticton and the international boundary on thewatercour.se connecting Okanagan and Osoyoos Lakes thence by the most feasible route to a point on the Kettle river at or near Rock creek, thence by the most feasible route to a point at or near Midway, thence by the most feasible route to a point at or near the City of Grand Forks, with power to construct, equip, maintain, and operate, from any point on thc said railway, branches and extensions of the same of uot more than thirty miles in length, and roads, bridges, ways, ferries, wharves, docks, and coal bunkers;, with power to"1 build, own, equip, operate and maintain steam and other vessels and boats, telegraphs, telephones, and tramway, aerial or otherwise and to carry on a general express business either as separate undertakings or in connection with the said railway and the said branches and extensions; with power to generate electricity for the supply of light, heat and power and dispose of and deal with the same at aprofit in any of the districts or localities through- which the said railway, branches and extensions pass; with power to expropriate lands for any of the purposes of the company and to acquire lands, bonuses, privileges, or other aids from any government, municipality, or other persons or bodies corporate; with power to construct, equip, acquire, lease, maintain, and operate smelting, reduction, refining, concentrating, or other works for handling and treatment of ores; with power to acquire and operate coal lands and dispose of the proceeds thereof; with power to acquire, construct,��md operate hotels; with power to make traffic or other arrangements or amalgamate or connect with any railway, steamboat, or other company, or lease, purchase, orotherwise acquire the as sets of aiiy such company; and with power to build wagon roads to be used iu the construction of said railway and its extension and branches a id in advance of the same and to levy and collect tolls from all parties using and all freight passing over any such roads, or anj- such aforesaid docks, wharves, railways, ferries, or vessels owned or operated by the company whether built before or after the passage of the act hereby applied for aud with all other usual, necessary or incidental rights, powers or privileges as maybe necessary or incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects or of any of them.

Thc band has only been organized about four months and made a most creditable showing- on the occasion of its first public appearance, Especially -when it is considered that the music played was learned in only three practices and had all to be prepared by the leader. The two pieces the band played at the station just previous to leaving on the train for Midway, a march and a waltz,were well rendered and heartily encored by those who happened to be at the depot. Should the Midway brass band again visit-the city on another and more happy occasion than that of Saturday, it will doubtless render an excellent account of itself. TO THE DEAF.

The council passed a vote of thanks to the clergy, Midway band, Mr. Furguson aud other marshals, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Mr. P. H. McKenzie, the different fraternal organizations and Trades and Labor Council for their o-reat assistance in connection with the memorial services. After authorizing the fire and light committee to hire a horse for the department the council adjourned until next Friday night, c. On Monday Night���A Recommendation From the Fire Department re Appointment of Chief. SAW MILLS FOR WEST FORK. At the regular meeting of the coun- ciPon Monday evening, Mayor Jakes was in the chair and Aid. Naden, Caulfield, Sullivan, Sutherland and Ross present. The fire department, in a letter to the council, recommended the reappointment of A; D. Hallett as chief, with the un derstanding that no other duties would be assigned him. M. UHlderman, the driver, wrote ex- plainijig_ to -the council that owing to the telephones being up stairs, it was often impossible for him to hear alarms coming in. The communication from the .fire department evoked considerablediscussiori. Aid. Naden believed that ah expett chief should be pro- _: cured���a.,jnan^trained in the business of fighting fires. Aid. Sutherland was in favor of appointing any one the fire department might recommend. Aid. Ross believed with Aid. Naden that if a salary was to be attached tc the position of fire chief and no other duties were assigned him, the appointment should goto a trained fireman, otherwise the department should be made purely voluntarily. Aid. Caulfield was in favor of :; volunteer department throughout, not on the grounds of economy, bui efficiency. He believed in dealing generously with the department, giving them funds to encourage the whol. brigade in the matter of hose contests firemen's races, etc. In this way ;��� more enthusiastic department could b* secured than by putting all the money in one man's pocket. Mayor Jakes stated that there wen ��� three different cpurses before the couh- * cil and it was difficult to decide the best for the city. It was finally decided to defer consideration .until a. special meeting ���Friday evening-��� ��� when the firemen are asked to'be present and discuss the matter with the council. A petition from the business men ��� asking that the lire bell be used for fire alarms only Was laid over until the same meeting. A., communication from the Kelson Board of Health asking the council to join them in urging the necessity of compulsory vacination throughout the province, was referred to the medical officer of health after the mayor had pointed out the importance of such regulations. The mayor also called the attention of council to the habit the government have of foisting their sick and destitute upon the city and t,he council asked the city solicitor and board of health to Teport on the matter. The medical officer of health" was asked to examine Twin Creek from Phoenix down aud report to the couu- A. Fisher returned this week from Rendell. He reports that ,his firm's saw mill plant reached there last week and that it will be ready to saw lumber in a few days. There is abundance of first class timber in the vicinity. Another saw mill will shortly be installed on the West Fork. Jas. Dale, one of the owners of Carmi City, will arrive from the east in a few days. While there he purchased a new saw mill plant which is now en route. It will be taken to Carmi City. Business in the West Fork country is active and the outlook for the coming spring is very bright.
