BC Historical Newspapers
The oldest mining camp newspaper in British Columbia. ; The Ledge was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia. The Ledge was published by James W. Grier until 1907, and was subsequently published by R. T. Lowery (1907-1920) and G. W. A. Smith (1920-1929). The paper's longest-serving editor was R. T. Lowery (1906-1926), a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. The Ledge absorbed the Boundary Creek Times in April 1911, and was published under a variant title, the Greenwood Ledge, from August 1926 to May 1929.

The first wedding in Smithers took place last week when W. M. Cocks and Miss Eandalls were married at the residence of H. G. Smith. It is reported that during the past few months 30,000 people have left Vancouver. A city cannot obtain permanent prosperity upon hot air or real estate booms. Vancouver needs more factories. It is dull just now but has still a glorious future. Eecently rats in the Victoria post- office have been eating up the wedding cakes and plum puddings going through the mail in that city. The rodents got away with an entire ham that a man in England had sent to a friend in Victoria. As far as can be learned they did not even touch the postage probably realizing that the gum on Canadian postage stamps is too slim a diet, even for rats. The night after Christmas in 1902 at Wanstead in Ontario there was an awful railway tragedy. Wrong orders and a head-on collision evaporated 30 lives. James Kerr a train despatcher in London was blamed for the accident although exonerated by a jury. The other day Kerr near London, was instantly killed by stepping in front of an express train from the rear platform of a caboose. The Miner remarks that "six lines of new business embarking in one week is pretty good evidence that things are moving in Eossland." In the old days they used to shoot into the air, but since they began shooting into the . ground Eossland has become a real hard rock mining camp, devoid of stock froth, and filled with working miners and prosperous merchants. It would not be surprising if The Miner soon became daring enough " to publish a daily paper. Send for a catalogue of headstones and monuments, made by the Kootenay Monumental Works, Nelson, B. O.

GREENWOOD, NOVEMBER 27, 1913. A blue mark here indicates that your Subscription has become deceased, and that tho editor would once more like to communo with your collateral. Tub boom seems to have come back to Eossland. Eecently a store in that town had a page ad. in the local paper. Nothing like being ont of the ordinary. The Ledge is the only paper in the world that has more ads. from outside points than in its own town. Young Scotch bank clerks should keep away from Hazelton. They shoot them in that wicked ttown, because they do not respect the drop and are too slow in elevating their hands. Many a man who kicks at the the high price of eggs, never even whistles when he pays 15.cents for a dwarfish shot of Montana sheep- dip. We are fools, but who made us so? God, man or the chap with tho cloven hoof? In the past 18 years the New Zealand government has loaned farmers $05,000,000. Out of 27,- <000 loans made in only 35 cases has foreclosure been necessary. It is likely that next year the B. C. government will begin lending money to farmers. Wo are reported to be civilized in this ago of progression, and yet 10 per cent of all mortality ls caused by alcoholism; 29 per cent of all disease; 50 percent of all insanity, idiocy and panperism; and 75 to 90 per ceut of all criminality. Cut out the booze and in a decade our jails, breweries, distilleries and gin mills would be filled with bats and cobwebs, and you would have to go to a museum to find a police* man. Every farmer should own a cow says the Creston Eeview. He should also have some chickens, pigs and horses. If possible all B.C. farmers should raise cattle, oats, peas, peas, wheat, potatoes and other things that grow in the ground. It would be better for the country if more farmers tilled the soil, and quit working on the wagon roads in the summer, and loafing around a hot stove in the winter. Thinking Themes It is probably true that George Washington was the father of his country, but he never rode in an automobile, put a nickle in the slot, wrote a telegram, kissed a telephone girl, nor dictated a speech to a typewriter. Poor George! He died too soon. In Eegina the public schools are opened with the Lord's Prayer. This is better than a pair of Jacks, or a Grand Ball. Prayer is soothing and loved by children, for when the teacher's dear head is bowed in orthodox solemnity, the conditions for passing chewing gum along the aisle are vastly improved. An epidemic of gambling has broken out in good Toronto, and it is reported that a prominent business man in that city recently won 34 cents in a big game that lasted 24 hours. If the epidemic continues it is feared that tho churches will suffer, through the withdrawal of so much red-faced currency from circulation. There is one bar to every 82 inhabitants in Franco, 3G0 in the United States, 430 in England, 5000 in Sweden, and only one to every 9000 in Norway. PerhapB this is why the Swedes and Norwegians are always dry. France is evidently the wettest country on earth, and tourists do not need to pack a bottle. Away back east in greasy Petro- lia the Advertiser says .that a lady was seen hugging one of the new mail boxes. Poor girl! She should come west and embrace an opportunity. Out here there are plenty of mails standing on tbe corners waiting for female divinitieB to extend their lovely arms around them a la tho ivy and the oak. A curious light is thrown upon the money value ,of human genius or labor by the recent sale of Eembrandt's "Bathsheba" for $200,000 or thereabouts.. We speak of what a man's work is worth, say that So-and-So is not getting as much money as he ought, and wonder' whether any man can really earn a million dollars. The fact is that money is, ordinarily, and in the general run of affairs, an accepted standard of values. But it is neither scientific, just, nor perfect. Often it is legally paid over for nothing at all, as when one dies and leaves a shiftless son a fortune; and often work of the very highest use to the world is paid for by no money or a ridiculous pittance. How fantastic is the money standard, for instance, in the case of Eembrandt Harmenszoon van Eijn, the world-master in the use of light and shadow in painting! His greatest work ia supposed to be the picture called "The Night Watch," which all visitors to the Eyks Museum at Amsterdam can never forget, as the white hand of the contral figure seems to reach out from the Canvas to greet the beholder. The "Night Watch" is price- lesp. Enough money probably could not be got together to purchase it. What it is "worth" may be conjectured by the mathematically inclined from the price of the- "BathBheba," which is 58 by 76 centimetres. "The Night Watch" is 3.59 by 4.35 meters. Figure it out yourself and let ns know how much per thumbnail equare Eembrandt is worth. The two paintings are about the same period, 1542-1G43. It would look as if a man who could produce stuff as valuable as | this must have lived iu imperial splendor and have had goldfish for breakfast. Thero was no levelling democracy thoso days, but all*the The people with mopey in their 'jeans dropped him, as he was no longer the fad. "Eembrandt," says Emile Michel, "belongs to the breed of artists which can have no posterity. His place is with the Michael Angelos, the Shakespeares, the Beethovens. Yet, Oaf ter that auction, writes Walter Armstrong, he was "stripped of all the property he had accumulated in the historic house in tho Breastraat, and for the rest of his life was a sort of a nomad, shifting his lodgings with uncomfortable frequency, carrying with him nothing but the materials of art." All ��������� the men could say of him when he died is found in the register of the Werter-Kerk of Amsterdam: "Tuesday, Oct. 8, 1G69; Eembrandt van Eijn, painter, on the Eoozegraft, opposite the Dool- hof. Leaves two children." Now millionaires and governments are bidding a thousand dollars' or so an inch for his canvaB; but what did the sad old tramp painter get out of it? Think of that when you are complaining that you are not paid enough for your work.���������Dr. Frank Crane., Social at Midway The basket social and entertainment given in Harrison's Hall last Thursday night under the auspices of the Presbyterian Ladies Aid of the beautiful town was in every way a great success, and the ladies wish to render their greatful thanks to their many kind friends who turned out so liberally and helped to make the affair so enjoyable. The following very excellent programme was given and heartily appreciated: Selection Bush's Orchestra Vocal Duet, "Annie Laurie,*' Miss Winnie and Mrs. Peck.

Bubar proceeded to auction off the many artistic and costly baskets containing dainty things to eat and causing excitement and anxiety among the bidders. Over $110 was realized. The baskets being emptied and the inner man satisfied, the floor was cleared for dancing. The floor was in splendid condition and Bush's orchestra rendered an excellent selection of dance music. Many were present from Greenwood, Rock Creek and other places who are loud in their praises of the hospitality of the Midway people. Barkerville News The several leases on Big Valley Creek, oh which several holes were drilled a year ago for the purpose of testing the ground, with a view of putting on a dredging plant should the prospects prove favorable, are to be further tested this year. * The big Keystone driller; which was in use this summer prospecting on the Williams Creek flats, although encountering considerable difficulty, has been moved out to Big Valley over the Stewart Creek road under its own power, and according to the latest reports drilling,has already been started, and will be continued as long as weather conditions will permit. The work is in charge of Mr. J. T. Towers, who arrived here a few weeks ago from Perry Creek, East Kootenay, where he had been in charge of drilling operations for several months previous to his arrival in this district. From the test made last year on Big Valley Creek there is every indication that a dredging plant will be established in the near future, the prospects as far as determined being of suchTa nature as to warrant further work being done this year to make a final test of the property.���������Quesnel Observer. been prepared by the Forestry Branch and will shortly be issued. The remainder was largely white pine. Until 1912 the export of square timber had steadily decreased since 1877, but laBt year showed a surprising increase, the quantity exported in 1913 exceeding that exported in the previous year by almost 90 per cent. Governors-General of Canada���������1867-1891. Birch Leads The popular idea that because Canada is the Land of the Maple, the maple must necessarily be the hardwood of first importance*' in Canada is incorrect, judged by the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior at Ottawa. There are three species of birch of commercial importance in Canada, the black, yellow, and white, or paper birch. The former two have the more valuable wood, but are confined to Eastern Canada, whereas the paper birch is found in every province of the Dominion, ranging from "[the limit of tree growth towards the north and growing well within the Arctic circle in the Mackenzie Eiver basin and in the Yukon. It is this wide range which con. tributes largely to its present importance, but the qualities of the wood promise a still greater use in the future, for it is a strong, hard, fine-grained wood which takes a I high polish and can be stained to imitate the more expensive woods, such as mahogany, cherry or walnut. 'Wavy' birch is an accidental form due to cross-grain, somewhat similar to 'curly' maple, and is highly prized for ornamental work. In another recent report issued by the Forestry Branch on the Wood-Using Industries of Ontario, birch is being reported as being used in the manufacture of over one hundred different articles, ranging from ships to spools. As a fnel-wood, it takes first place and it is also one of the principal woods used in wood-distillation, while its only objection as a pulpwood is that it is too heavy to be readily floated down the streams to the mills. Birch also formed 28 per cent, of the square timber exported from Canada inQ1912, according to the bulletin on the production of lumber, square timber, lath and shingles for that year, which has The Eight Hon.

HIiW NEWS | 0<K>0<KK>0<><>CK>aCK>CKKK><K>0<>CH>0 Possibilities of the Peace River dietrict and tho far northern territory through which winds the Mackenzie river were interestingly depicted to the Vancouver Progress Club recently by Mr. Charles Cam- eell, of tho Dominion geological survey, under the auspices of the Vancouver Chambers of Mines. Mr. Camsell's address was the first of a series arranged by tho chambers of mines, and a series of steroptican slides wore shown to emphasize his address. Mr. Camsell characterized that district known as tho MacKenzie .River district which stretches northward from Athabasca to the Arctic, as unparalled in tho fur f trade at present, and the future country where minerals will be largely produced, from all present indications. The mineral indications found thero by Mr. Camsell gavo indications of probably large deposits of copper, zinc, silver and lead, as well as gold. Jn addition to its other vast resources there would be oil. Oil and tar extides from the earth in areas which wore spread over from 150,000 to 300,000 acres. These, he said, were the best possibilities in the world. Oil, aud where to find it, and find it iu big quantities, ho said, is Britain's most intensely interesting problem just now, owing to the fact that the use of fuel oil is growing to such a degree that it is much a question of time when all the big ships will of necessity have to use it as the cheapest and best known fuel for economical operation. Bella Coola.���������Several local prospectors have returned from the new gold strike on the Skowquiltz river, a tributary of Deane channel, one and all being enthusiastic regarding the prospects of there being in the near future a prosperous mining camp in that vieinit}*. The first news of gold on the Skowquiltz river was taken to Bella Coola by tho Brothers Hendricks, who aro old-time prospectors and hunters on this northern coast. Tho rich dirt which they brought with them, and the description of the lay of the land, soon attracted the attention of other local prospectors, with the result that a large party was soon off to the scene of the find, equipped with all implements to make a preliminary prospect of the country. According to accounts received the scene of the discovery lies at the head of Skowquiltz river, some twenty miles from tidewater. The old river bed at this point is very wide and thero is a great expanse of gold bearing gravel besides extensive benches which iu all probability will prove rich. Twenty-three claims have already been staked, but there still remains a large area of ground that shouldjprovide excellent prospects for- the many who are expected to visit the place in the spring. Already capitalists from the United States, who have visited the place, have secured all the land 'on tidewater at the river mouth, and- arrangements are being made for tho building of a wharf and general store, and tho bringing in of the most approved hydraulic appliances when serious work will bo commenced at once. Wolf creek, ten miles south of Whitehorse, on which in the neighborhood of ono hundred placer claims were recently staked, is prospecting in a manner which is very encouraging to tho various stakers. On claim No. G below discovery a number of the. early stakers already havo a hole down to a depth of eighteen feet. From the surface colors were obtained in every pan washed, but as depth is attained, the colors are much more numerous and coarser. It is believed that, when bedrock is reached, the creek will be shown to bo a paying proposition. On-the two dry gulches which cross Wolf creok prospects have also been found. The drift in the Aufeas mine is now in 120 feet from the main tunnel, and is still all in ore. Double shifts are maintained and about five feet a day is driven. Including the ore sacked at the tunnel mouth, there are now over 200 tons ready for shipment as soon as rawhiding can begin. If the fall of snow is too late this amount will be very\ considerably increased. Ore was struck on "Wednesday in the new shaft on the Araucumo at Hope Station. The plant is all installed and working satisfactorily. As the property is in a basin pumping is necessary to keep the shaft free from water. The finding of ore in this new shaft so near the surface confirms the calculations made as to the direction of the veins, and,-to some degree, of their extent. A practicable route has'-, been found for a wagon road to. connect with the Cariboo road. There is no obstacle in the way of winter operations.���������West Yale Review. Development work on this mine has been started, which is certainly good news to Lillooet men. At present about a dozen will be employed, the preliminary work being the driving of about 300 feet of tunnels. Work will be continued all winter, and by springtime we may hope co see this property opened up in such a shape as will corroborate the opinions of three mining experts this' summer���������that it is one of tho biggest gold mining propositions in this part of the province. If the "Broken Hill" mine turns out anything like what some of the moBt reliable mining meu have predicted for it, then Lillooet will havo reaped a benefit never before realized from any other pro-1 ject. The mine is close at hand, and is in close proximity to every natural facility for its profitable working. The ore body is little less than a quarry. The three mining experts to report so favorably on the property were Messrs. Dunn, Thomas and Guernsey. They each visited the mine on separate occasions, and unknown to each other, gave practically the same report. The last mining enguieer to visit the, property was F. J. Crossland, some two months ago, and ho is considered one the most conservative of engineers; this is what he said; "Lying on tho main contact between the coast granite and the interior scdimen- tarics tho Broken Hill mining property presents features of unusual interest to tho mining expert, and I am of the opinion that the contact lead on which tho Broken Hill seems to have tho crucial location will, with proper development and management, develop into one of the greatest producers in^the province." Mr. Crossland found the ore body to average over 90 feet in width, with values in gold, silver and copper, which in comparison with the ore treated at a profit by the Granby and B.C. Copper companies, leave no doubt as to the successful operation of this property. Mr. Crossland commented on the striking similarity of the Broken Hill ore and that produced by the Nickle^Plate mine, the best gold mine in British Columbia at the present time.���������Lillooet Prospector.

Dr. MacLean was appointed trustee of the McBride Cup in the Boundary League. The contract system was discussed at some length and it was decided to take the matter up with the Kootenay League. The matter of registration came in for a great deal of criticism before it was decided that all players must be registered on or before the date of the first schedule game and men not registered on that date must be a resident 15 days before he can play; registration to consist of a declaration before a notary public. League games will be played in Greenwood every Friday night; in Phoenix on Monday and Grand Forks on Wednesday. One game to be played in each town every week. There will be no games played during the Carnival week here aa all the teams intend competing. rj The following is the schedule. Jan 1.

Satisfaction -guaranteed absolutely on all work done, . i������ .. ��������� ��������� Messrs. j John Hopp and Melbourne Bailey arrived stimultan- eously with the departure of Mr. R. T.. Ward and restaked the Bullion mine, water rights, etc. It is unlikely that a property with a vast production offlover $2,000,- 000 and an output during a single season greater than that of the entire Atlin or Barkerville Divisions in any recent years will be permitted to pass from its present owners> to the new claimants without a strenuous fight. The incident will have a [.very 'unfavorable effect on the mining industry in this section; firstly, ib will probably delay the extensive operations at the Bullion mine that was planned for next spring, and 'secondly, attention will again be called to the extremely precarious nature of the title offered with Placer ground by the Placer.' Mining Act. This insecurity of title has much to' do with the backward condition of the placer mining industry in the province���������it has over and over again proved a stumbling block in the. path 'of those ��������� who have endeavored to interest ^capital, especially foreign capital, in the development of its gold bearing gravels. One striking incongruity in the Placer Mining Act may be instanced, viz: that if an individual or company fails to renew its Free Miner's Licence on the date of its expiration, title to all property held under the Act is auto matically cancelled, If the placer mining industry of the province is not to continue in its present moribund condition, some drastic alterations in the Act will have to' be made.���������Ashcroft Journal.

Elson, Greenwood A Mother's Letter to Mothers. Mrs. E. W. Cooper of Bloomfleld, N. J., says: "My child, seven years old, had a bad. cold and was weak and quite run down In health. She had been In this condition for about six weeks when I began giving her Vinol. It was a wonderful help to the child, breaking up her cold quickly and building up her strength beside. I have also found Vinol a most excellent tonic for keeping up the children's strength during a siege of whooping cough." Vinol is a wonderful combination of two world-famed tonics���������*-the medicinal body building elements of cod liver oil and iron for the blood, therefore it is a perfectly safe medicine for children, because it is not , a patent medicine, everything in It ia printed on every package, bo mothers may'know what they are giving their little ones, Therefore we ask every mother of a weak, sickly or ailing child ln this vicinity to try Vinol on our guarariteo.
