BC Historical Newspapers
The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

Tliey ought to pray and keep the sacraments. In reference to the sad circumstances by which they were surrounded lie would say the souls of the righteous were in the hands of God and that no torment shall touch them. Those who knew their late brother best loved him most. He was a . faithful i friend and loving brother. Let, them turn from the dead to the living and so live from day to day that when they passed away they would be in the hands' of God and no torment should touch them.

M., iu tlio Mining jMaKazino.) ' The Camborne district, situated in the Lardeau .division of -the West Kootenay mining district, British Columbia, is fast coming to the front as ii mining centre. .Jneluding-" the watershed of Fish River and.its num- ��������� .erous tributary creeks, thc district comprises an ureii' of ,mineralized country some ton miles long by live wide,'rich in gold, silver,' lend and .copper. r The district lies in one of the most rugged and picturesque portions of the.Selkirk mountains, which rise to ���������altitudes of from 5,000'to 8,000 feet abovethe sea. The' summits of the higher peaks, crowned with glaciers and perpetual snow, yifVord scenic ���������efVects of grandeur and beauty surpassed by few, if,any, regions'of the ���������'United States or Canada. ,r , The district'can be easily reached .from Arrowhead, the terminus of the Arrowhead branch of the Canadian , Pacific'Railway, 2S miles, south .of ���������Revelstoke, a starion on the main line' .of'the Canadian J'acilic. From Arrow-, '.head,'a'steamer runs up the northeast .arm of Arrow lake for nine , miles to \Beiiton; from thence, there is a ,'daily .stage to Camborne, six miles'",distant. .Steamers of the Canadian Pacific Rail- .road also run- from Arrowhead to Robson, a distance of 122 miles/ where they connect with the railway to Nelson, Trail and points in the, United States. . n ' ; - " . The smaller vaIIcys.aredeep,knarrow .'nnd y-shaped ;* the larger, steep walled ��������� and U-bh.iped. These valleys divide ' the district into n number of inoiin, .tain ridges having a general norrh- 'westerly and'southeasterly direction, ���������with offsetting 'idges tit right angles. 'While the topogriiphiu.il ftntnres of ;,the district aie maiul) due to the ���������erosion of a region of uplift'by aqueous action, tbeie'is/m abundance of evidence to indicate lhat, these features have bei-n ruudi/ii d by the action of ice. The l.uge valleys have been ���������changed from V-shaped valleys to U- sluiped oi is. and their beds scoured ' and,deepened s-u.tlmt lhe tributary' valleys aie overhanging valleys; Transported boulders ine scattcied ever the .mountain ddes and on the ridges; the rock .-infaces aie scoied, fluted and striated. Mohawk cki:i;k. At the head of ^Mohawk cieek and .its north fork are many boulders of porpliyritic granite, which have been brought down by the ice fiom the granite belt, some twenty miles to the north. " The valleys and mountain sides are ���������covered with a dense growth of valuable timber, of which pine, hemlock, Iir, and giant cedar are thc most important. The undergrowth is dense ���������up to an elevation of 5,000 feet and. owing to the heavy precipitation, the irocks, where exposed, are covered with moss. These features make prospecting exceedingly difficult. The rocks of the district are composed mainly of inagnesian and clilor- . itic schists, cut by a greyish-green, ^���������ellow weathering schistose diabase, lying between somewhat broad bands of green schist and with graphitic slate, near the ore bodies. " Jn width and ���������" continuity this zone is somewhat ir- jegular owinp- to the green schist Alluded to above, which in some places ���������divides it into a number" ot subordinate bands; but it is easily traceable ficross the country for many miles. | This belt of schists is known as the ���������central mineral belt. To the northea.-t. at the head of Pool and Lexington creek-; and on Bovd and Kelly creek.-", is n belt of lime-tone in which occur the ore bodies of the dyke series���������the second .inmoralized -/one. Thy bolt runs with considerable regularity in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction, and is traceable for a long distance. The. ore.- in this zone are mostly argentiferous gnlena with .-oine blend, tetra- hedrite, chalcopyritc ami pyrile, with quartz, calcite, siderite and some tericite as ganguc. Some of the ores carry high value-, in silver, while other.- are large low-grade ore deposits. .MAMMOTH CKOU'. Little work has been done on this series of ore deposit.-, with the exception of thc Mammoth group, at the liead of Lexington creek, near thc extracting ore and making a rawhide trail down the mountain to the wagon road, which runs up the Fish river valley from Camborne. It is the intention of the owners to ship ore from a four-foot load, containing argentiferous galena'and tetrahedrite, said to average $200 a ton. Some thirty tons of ore have already been sacked, ready for shipment when the trail is completed. ' . In'the central mineral belt there are two'series of .veins, traversing the formation, the-main''series liaving a strike parallel tb the enclosing schists aiid'the^ther cutting the schists in both strike and dip. The veins,of the main scries are for the most part large, reaching a width of twenty feet in some places; but'those are not so well defined as those of the cross scries, being in-many places' frozen . to the schists. ' ..TliCv cross series of .veins are clear-cut fissure veins having widths varying from five to twenty-five feet of clean quartz, separated from both hanging uud foot wall by.a well-defined gouge. 1 iv tho Camborne.district thei first series of veins has not been opened up to any'' extent, though much work has beenr done ,oil the second or cross series., The veins do 4<not maintain an even -width throughout their course, but are more or less lenticular, both in length' and depth. At ,the point where these veins intersect therlirst series or other''veins of the cross series having a different strike, the ore spreads out to greater widths and is almost always of liigher value in metallic content; this increase in values is-not confined__to_the immediate neighborhood, of the* intersection, but extends along tlfe veins for" some distance on either side. ' ��������� ��������� TWO, DISTIXCT CLASSES. 'There-are two distinct classes of ore in the Camborne district : Argentiferous galena carrying more or less gold, and free milling gold quarts, carrying considerable iron pyrites and small quantities of lead and zinc suphides. There is no conclusive evidence as to the age of these two classes of veins The galena,vein in the Oyster-Criter- ian is evidently.younger than the gold quartz vein which it cuts; but it, in turn,' is cut by a fault parallel to,that occupied by the JCv.i No. 2 vein. It is probable, therefore, that the gold veins are, not all of the same age ; some aie probably older and some;- newer than' the galena .vein,'in which case they may all have been formed during, one period of miueialization, butat dirler- ent stages. Little development work has been done on the galena veins' themselves, nut the work dune on the gold veins proves them to be continuous in both length and depth. The chaiaciei of tbe oie remains un- chanired at the deepest point below the surface outcrop thus far attained, which in the Eva mine is some seven hundred feet. ' A STKlKr.VG KESK.M rU-A-NTE. One feature of the ore bodies in this district is their striking resemblance to the great "Mother Lode'1 of California. The veins in the Camborne district have the same banded structure (on the "'Mother Lode'' called ribbon rock), the same character of sulphiirets, the same kind of graphitic slate accompanying the veins, with occasional fragments in the ore itself; and the same characteristic crushed quartz and graphitic siate g .uge. The only ditl'erence is that*, the Camborne .veins contain more lead and zinc sulphiirets than do these of tlie "Mother Lode." ' - ( thf, hi;atrk;e gkoui'. Tbe Beatrice group of claims, situ ated at the head of the north fork ot Mohawk creek, about six and a half mile? southeast of Camborne, at an elevation of 7-,000 feet above -sea level, has been developed to a considerable extent hy means of tunnels on the vein. There are two distinct scries of veins on this'property. One carries free milling (-old quartz ; the other consists of a four-foot width of quartz, heavily minerali/ed with medium to line grained galena and iight brown zinc blende intimately mixed, with a considerable percentage of fine-grained tetrahedrite and pyritc in band-' through the ore. This latter vein i.s the only one. being worked at. present; the ore is sacked and rawhided to Camborne and from thence shipped by wagon to J3eaton. This ore is said to carry '1- o/.s. gold, 250 o/s. silver, and 20 per cent. lead. thi: srr.vcu i>or,r���������\p. niton-, doing northwest along the stiikc of the belt, the next group is the Silver prospecting ,, and development,1 work has been done on this property.1, Five well-defined veins of'the cross-series have been' prospected; one ,o������ these, the Silver Dollar, vein, contains considerable 'argentiferous galena (probably the continuation of the Beatrice vein), while the others are free milling gold quartz of good workable grade. All these veins are -traceable for over 3,000 feet in length and vary in width from a few feet to more than . twenty. The main development work on this property-- has been confined to the Silver Dollar vein, and consists pf a cross-cut to the vein and several hundred feet of drifting. The' crosscut is" now being driven into 'the mountain side to intersect with the other, veins running'parallel to' the Silver Dollar, vein, which on, the surface are about 100 feet apart. '.This cioss-cut .tunnel, will give depths ranging from 300 to over 700 feet below tlie vein outcrops. In the face of. an open cut on the Silver Dollar vein, the lead 'is divided into two distinct portions!, 'The foot- wall portion consists of about two feet of steel galena, containing some bunds of iron'pyrites and assaying ��������� .12 oz. gold, 39.7 oz.' silver and 2] per cent, lead. The hanging-wall portion consists of about thirty inches of gold quai tz, assaying 3.12,ozs. gold in' the shape of free gold and iron pyrites. COLOKADO AKD DV.L KEY. ������' On the Colorado and Del Rey property about two miles northwest, two parallel veins of gold quartz have been opened up by surfacetrenches. ,These veins are sonie fifteen feet in .width and carry high values in gold ; from average samples weighing about five pounds,. taken across the vein, the Colorado vein yielded by assay. 13.21 ozs. gold, and the Del Rey 2.28 ozs. The quartz does not show much free gold to,the eye, but it is of a good character'and contains a, considerable percentage of decomposed iron pyrites. Located one mile north of the town of Camborne is the ��������� . * ' . OYSTEK-CKITEKIOX .Ml*\*i'*' now being worked by the Great Northern Mines Co., Ltd. This and the Eva mine, which is the north-western extension of the Oyster-Critejio'n. aie best developed mines in this cli-trict; each is equipped with a ten 'stamp Here the lode consists of a belt of lead-gray, carbonaceous schist, traversed bv several well-defined quartz veins" which are partly fissure-fillings and partly" leplacement of the country rock by vein matter. In place:, the quartz contains isolated fragments of the graphitic country rock, around which the gold is often concentrated; consequently these portions of the ore aie often rich. The gold is frequently visible to the unaided eye, sometimes in coarse .particles: all of the ..vein matter will pan gold. The veins also carry siderite and tlie sulphides of iron, lead and zinc.' The Criterion tunnel on this property rims in a northerly direction -for 135 feet, at which point was encountered a galena vein five feet wide lying between two slips, with a gouge and slickensided walls. Following the galena' lead for a distance of sixty-rive feet, the drift encountered the Criterion quartz vein, which proved to be -faulted by the galena vein: the eastern limb was en- j I countered .-ome fifteen feet further on. I The gouge on the walls of the galena vein continued unbroken through the quartz At this point tlie Criterion vin is materially enriched and is said to assay -fSO a ton. .* At the time'of the writer's vi-it to .trie Oy.iter-Criterian property, about 2.000 feet of work had been done and the mill wa*- in -teady operation. Tho ore is nud to average ���������'$15 a ton in free gold, which is -a\fd nn the plates and fn the batterie-'. the concentrate- are low'grade, about *i?30 a ton, and at piT-.-ent are being -t.ickud in bin1-, ns they are not rich en<-t:gh to ju-'tify smeltinu and trau-portation chargi-s tothe 'uielti-r.

At'No. 5 tunnel ,011 this property, the veins and" crots veins fornva small, clifr of' ore,'which is exposed in the face of the mountain ' ��������� for fifty feet. This entire mass is high grade ore, assaying over $50 per ton; the'ore in a'winze connecting No. 5 tunnel with No". 4, is said to assay $75 a ton, and contains niiich free gold visible to the unaided eye. The gold is often concentrated along the walls and around the inclusions in the vein, probably owing to the wall rocks and included fragments being highly car- , boiiaceous. In the Highland Mary eliiifton this property some'very high ,��������� grade ore is found, much of it showing considerable free gold and iron'sul- lihurets, .which latter' arcsaid to run rs high as. $2,000 to the ton, The mill ' Monging'to "the property, is located ���������_ on the north side of Pool Creekj near that of the 'Oyster-Criterion, and' is connected with', the mine by means of ' an aerial wire tramway '4,200 in length. ���������' An electric plant rViilso installed at "the mill for furnishing light to the mines .and buildings; there .are ���������.four 'concentrator's.", 'The'entire plant', is also operated by .water power, from Pool creek."

In the Copper Dollar aiid Kingston " Groups, adjoining 'tlie Eva mine on the northwest, 'the ,.vein outcrop is quite remarkable both for its size and manner of occurrence. There are two veins traversing1 th'es'e'properties, one of which isc traceable on the Copper 'Dollar group for over f,200 feet'without a break. The, outcrop occurs in a 'vgully! down, which'the flow of water has cut away, the softer w.ill rock, leaving the quartz standing like a wall , 'in some places ovei ten feet in height. In width this outcrop varies fron'i ten to twenty feet. In a tunnel which has been driven T20 fe'et^on this vein, the lead has a very slight dip to the east, is of a banded structure and shows some very line examples of slicken- ��������� .sides,' the quartz being almost as smooth and polished as a piece of plate -glass. "The ore" so far,developed is low grade, but on account of the size of the vein and its exceptionally, favorable location fur mining; should prove of considerable economic importance. cambokxi: Girom*. , On the \ve=t side of Fish River, on the northwestern continuation of this ,* same mint nil /-"U*.- and oil the north side uf Men bin :ck Creek, io located the Carnliorne group,. The main work on thi- pioperty has been con lined to the Gold finch claim at an elevation of , sixteen hundred feet above Fish river. 1 Some very rich ore was discovered on this claim, the vein matter consisting of white watery quartz with sulphides of lead, zinc and iron sprinkled tluough it. The gold occurs with the sulphides, particulaily along the zinc blende, and also in the quart/, itself. Howevei, the vein on this claim is not as legular or denned as on other properties visitod"by the, writer and exploitation , is moie difficult. A ten stamp mill was built near the mouth of Menhiniek creek and connected with the mine -by means of a wire train way, the upper portion of which was destroyed by foieot (ires in August. 1904. An, electric plant, for supplying light and power for electric di-ills was also located near the mill, both being run by water powt r'from , Menhiniek crock. Owing to b.id management and thc fire above referred to this mine is now idle. IXIH.l'KXDI.Xfii: GROIH-. To the northwest of the Camborne group is'thc Independence group, on which theie are two vein."- running at an angle with each other. These veins have been developed by surface prospecting and a cross-cut tunnel. One vein is fifteen feet wide in the cross-cut and shows considerable iron and zinc sulphides; the average value of the ore is said to be about $10 per ton. The other vein was encountered in the-cross-cut tunnel a short distance from its beginning. A short tunnel has been driven on this vein and some very . rich ore encountered. The'gold occurs as free gold, both in the quartz and associated with the pyrites., This vein, as previously stated, runs at an angle with the fifteen foot lead; at the intersection of the two veins there should lie a considerable body of high-grade ore. This intersection, having regard to the distance in the cross-cut between the veins and the angle they niake one with the other, cannot be far away. On the surface, 'along the 'outcrop of tlie'fifteen foot vein,are several masses of quartz float in which free gold is easily visible, and .in'the open cuts on the veins'all the ore pans well. ��������� This district has not hitherto received from prospectors and'mining men the attention Which its mineral indications warrant, for several rea-' sons.. The mountain being 'covered with heavy growth of timber and ��������� f>' , '. . underbush, and the rocks to a large extent with 'moss, traveling and prospecting, are,, exceedingly dillicult. Early prospectors considered' this' a silverMead "district'and so paid little or no attention to the outcrops of'gold quartz until in recent years, when prospectors familiar with gold ores open- ed'upsonie of the veins. In'view,of some of the high assay values obtained from thc silver-lead ores and regardless of the cost of mining and'transporting the ore to "the smelters, many of' the early prospectors held their claims at suclvexhorbitant' figures that capital was deterred from coming in. However a change is now taking place. The district is more accessible, and the construction of roads and-trails greatly facilitates prospecting and the d eve 1 op 111 en t .of.thc ore.bodies._j_.abor and supplies .arc obtainable in Camborne, or can ber brought in 'from the outside at reasonable prices. The average;'wage paid in the district 'rahges'fi'bni'$2!f>0* to $4.00 per day "of eight hours, according to the class of wark. , - , ,, ���������The country is an ideal one for mining; there is ample timber for all purposes,'and'all tlie, creeks carry'water suflicie'nt not* only for mills'and dwellings but for power purposes'also. About two miles soiith of Camborne, where Pish 'river.* J'runs through a canon, there -is- a. -.yater power of several thousand horse power. Here could be established 'an electric power plant sullicient not only to operate an electric riiihoad from Beaton to Cam-, borne and Ferguson, on Trout Lake, but also to supply power and light to all the mines in the district.' 'If this were done, it would,be. only a few vears before this district would ��������� rank among the niost important camps in thc Northwest. RAILWAY NEWS RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

Revelstoke, B.O ZheAkootemyfthail SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1905 A GREAT MINERAL ZONE. The article which' we publish in another column] by Mr., Emmons, a mining expert of high reputation, ���������on the Fish Creek camp, full justifies the-high opinion held of 'this section by the mining men who have been best acquainted with it. The opinion formed'"by Mr. Emmons, as the result of his visit there, ought to do good-service by '"drawing attention' of outside investors to the grand field for exploitation offered on Fish Creek. And what is true of Fish Creek is true of the mineral belt extendinji from the lower hardenu to the Big Bend. In places the mineral zone is hidden by the overlying "limestones.as where it crosses the railway line near Albert Canyon, but there is every rea������on to believe that by the exploration of the schists underlying these limestones as good mineral prospects will be found as have been revealed by surface prospecting. MINING LEGISLATION. - No country in the civilized world has suffered so much injury to its mining industries from bad legislation as has British ' Columbia. The assessment bill, as relating to mining, and which was put through by the McBride government last week, is a disgraceful piece of legislation. It makes mining taxation retrospective and was apparently- devised to meet the case of a company which was fighting the government in the courts. There is neither justice nor sense in such legislation. Tlie leader of the opposition, J. A. Macdonald, rendered great service to the mining intereste by the manner in which he exposed the unjust and detrimental .character of the legislation, but all to no purpose. McBride and his colleagues had to have that bill and like dumb driven cattle their supporters and the socialiat members walked into the lobby in support of it. The effect of such legislation on the mining interests of the province cannot fail to be seriously detrimental, and then we wonder why capital is not invested to a larger extent in the development of the rich mineral resources of the country., " The people of British Columbia will back r up an}: ��������� government, Liberal or Conservative, that has the backbone to tell" Mr.'Morse that if his company does" not keep faith with-this province and start construction at(tlns end, instead of getting right-of-way free the .company will have to pay $50 an acre for all land .required, for right-of- way and railway purposes if the line is not started ' within six months. ' ��������� The GrandTrunk has got to get to the Pacific. The western portion of its lines is useless otherwise and now that the Grand Trunk is trying to hold up the province it is up to B. C: to give Mr. "Morse a little of his own medicine. "If the worst comes to the worst this province pan build its own end of the road and prohibit the Grand Trunk from getting any right-of-way,what- ever to the Coast; That is the stand that.' should be definitely" taken. ., < ��������� ��������� - > ' It is up to the solid seven members from British Columbia to bring this matter up in the Commons and have it threshed out, and it is the bounden duty of the Laurier Government to^ see that the Grand Trunk keeps to its contract and carries it out in its integrity so far as British Columbia is concerned. If it doesn't, there should be no more mealy mouthed business about it, but the charter should be cancelled and the dominion government should' take in hand the construction of the road from coast to coast. A company that will try to hold up the people, as the Grand Trunk is now doing through Mr. Morse, must be watched most closely and its operations hedged in with the strictest legislation, for if it is going to try and cinch the people before the road is built some idea can be formed of the unscrupulous tyranny which that company will endeavor to exert once the public comes to use the road. - Now is the time to teach the company that the people recognise their rights, are determined to maintain them, and to make the company live up to its contract or get out. "Little thievf-s are put in the stocks. Big thieves go flount- ingin silks and satins." Mr. Mor.=*e is attempting to burglarise British Columbia in the most disgraceful fashion, and he should he treated as any other highwayman, who seeks to bulldoze a government or legislature into giving away the public assets for nothing. There has been a great deal too much of that sort of thing in the past and it i.s time to atop it. The secretary then read a letter from Mr. George Gibson enclosing a largely signed ' petition objecting to the removal of Dr. Chipperfield ,from the medical staff of the hospital and after'Some discussion the following resolution was unanimously carried : r.. ' "That the petitions received , with regard to replacing,Dr., Chipperfield on the hospital staff be filed, and that the petitioners be'notified through Mr. Gibson that the ' Board do not consider that tlie services of four doctors (are required or that the finances'of the hospital can stand the expense of four,,'doctors, and that a third doctor, resident at Arrowhead, litis been appointed, Dr. Chipperfield having refused, to accept that appointment when offered to him by the' Board. And, Mint if at any time the petitioners have , any,' complaint against the present'stall' the Hoard will be ready ti listen to any complaint that may be presented through their proper representatives , on this 'Board, and that in future no petition will be received -unless presented through the proper representatives'' of the petitioners on tlie'Bonrd."

Nailed to'the laths surrounding," a painting representing sailors fighting with fierce savages may be seen African or Polynesian spears and darts ,or swords made of hard wood, evidently mementos of terrible struggles.

Years ago, when the bodies were removed from the Cimotiere des Innocents at Paris, the ' common pits in winch great numbers of the bodies had been interred together were found,to contain musses of a grayish white soupy substance. The matter was not very well understood at that time, but it is now known that the remains of the dead are under certain conditions transformed into such a material, either wholly or in part, wliich has been named "adipocere." It is a true am* monlacal soap, being a combination of fatty acids with ammonia. Bodies that are exposed to the action of water percolating through the soil are most apt to undergo this species of transformation. Inasmuch as adlpo- cera is not perishable under ordinary circumstances, corpses thus changed very often retain their form Indefinitely.

There are few diseases that inflict more torture than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which such a varied and useless lot of remedies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an extensive sale, has met with great success in the treatment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to permanent cures by its use. AVhy suffer when Pain Balm affords such quick relief and costs but a trifle?
