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.

John Crawford left for his ranch near Kamloops last Mon-, day. For some time past he had been master mechanic at the smelter, ' Wm. English a bridge foreman for h. M. Rice & Co., had a finger amputated last "week. The digit was crushed by a boring machine. Frederick - Keffer mining engineer for the B. C.

With the assistance of some nearby campers he was taken to the Greenwood hospital, and will be around in a few days. A great audience greeted Martin Burrell on Monday evening, and his remarks upon reciprocity will long be remembered in this city. He is certainly a clever and pleasing speaker, and a credit to the largest constituency in Canada. Today his majority will probably be at least 1,200. y No Stampede at Ashcroft. We have received a report from the coast that on Saturday last there was a stampede of three hundred men te the Tatlayako Lake country, where the .latest gold strike has been made. Similar reports have been published in the Manitoba Free Press and other eastern papers. Here in Ashcroft nothing is known of the stampede and not more than a dozen people, all told, have left here for the Chilcotin 'country. It is regrettable that such false news should be disseminated through the country. This is the worst time of year that such a stampede could take place, now that the winter is so near at hand, and even those who have the gold fever realise this. There is no question that early in" the spring there will be a rush to Tatlayako and this rush must come through Ashcroft, but at present there is nothing iu auy way resembling a stampede and such rumors should be discouraged, for they only do harm.���Ashcroft Journal.

"We don't want bathing suits, do we, girls?" chirped tho leader of a bevy of chorus damsels from Calgary. They were up at the sulphur basin at Banff, and the attendant at the baths was performing the customary duty of handjng out bathing suits. "Oh, pshaw, no. There's nobody but us here," was "the unanimous verdict. -'I never did like being hampered by a bathing suit," explained the leader. "It makes me feel so heavy." Turning to the attendant she assured him that the'girls wouldn't wear bathing suits���if it didn't make any difference to him. It didn't, eo they disrobed and plunged in and sported around displaying forms that would have turned some of the famous sculptors' models green with envy. Thoy didn't object to being watched by bbo bath attendant, either. Hugh McMillan died in Cumberland from tubercolosis, aged 32 years. * v ' ' C. V.

L. MATHIEU CO., Props., Sherbrooke BOUNDARY MINES The ships of Solomon took three years to go and return with the gold of the still mystic Ophir, while thousands of miles nearer homo the precious metal could be obtained in abundance. Drawing tho parallell nearer home tho leading paper of Phoenix says that in this province hundreds of cases could be cited. At the present time mon are roughing it in remote parts of the province, while nearer civilization, nnd even along the steel highways ot the country are to be found the riches they seek in less accessible places. As an example take the Boundary and other southern parts of tho province, and right here in Phoenix. Men are predicting, foolishly of course, the speedy depletion of the ore in its mines, and looking far afield for other sources of supply, seemingly oblivious to the fact that ...within a short distance of the Granby shafts are to be found immense bodies of ore capable of being mined in the same economical manner as that of the other big mines of the district. Only recently a party of visitors ac complished the journey in ten min-' utes from the Brooklyn Hotel and were shown acres of identically the same formation as that which char acterizes the famous Granby mines. The property referred to' is the Marshall group of copper-golfl claims, all crown-granted, comprising in all nearly nine full claims. A test of a 500-lb lot shipped to a local smelter yielded a return of So.SO per ton. The G. N. railway crosses the group, while electric power for all purposes is close at hand. A standing offer for two years of $40,000 was made for. this group by- New York capitalists, but was turned down by owners, Messrs. J. Marshall, T. Roderick and others. Scattered throughout the Boundary are scores of other properties with equally promising futures, only awaiting the advent of the capitalist and engineer. To the ordinary- laymen these . statements may appear illusionary and far fetched, but to the mineralogist and government surveyor its truth has long since been established. Next week the tunnel of the Phoenix-Greenwood Tramway Co, will be in 3,000 feet, and the Big, Tunnel will be entitled to receive ������15,000 from the city of Greenwood Before proceeding further the many stringers of ore already struck. in this tunnel will be developed. The Nelson Fair Visitors to this year's Fruit Fair at Nelson ou September 2G-27-28th will be well looked after in .the matter of amusements, a large and varied list of attractions having been provided for their -entertainment. The C. P. K. is offering single fare rates for the round trip from Vancouver to Medicine Hat, and all intermediate points. Among other attractions will bo James E. Hardy who is known the world over as "The High Wire King," and who has recently returned from Europe will be the big aerial feature attraction. He will introduce his great disrobing act, provoking roars of laughter, and providing amusement for everyone. Do not fail to see Hardy when he shows up as Weary Willie. He will introduce his famous night walk across the Niagara Whirlpool Rapids by crossing his wire blindfolded and with his feet and legs tied m a sack. He will also introduce his great chair balancing feats' acknowledged to be the most remarkable,exhibition of nerve and skill ever witnessed; and his other daring feats will include his wonderful bicycle riding act in 'mid-air He will perform upon an ordinary street bicycle, with simply the tires removed, and will execute upon it feats which few would undertake to do on terre firma. The other feats which Hardy will introduce into his daily program will include many of the " stunts" that have secured for him the well deserved reputation of being the greatest and most artistic high wire performer the world has over known.

Ptiola't* EllloU tFrt.M6SH^ MRS KUMPHftY WARB England's Great Woman Novelist Literary prophecies, like boomerangs, should-be handled with extreme caution���������they are so prone to recoil. When Matthew Arnold affirmed that no_ Arnold could ever write a novel, he did not look sufficiently far into the future to seo Mrs. Humphry Ward, the daughter of his: brother Thomas, recognized &s the greatest woman novelist of her generation. She was born in Tasmania in 1851, and when six years old was brought by her parents to England. Her father, a college professor, changed his college as frequently as his religion; his intense"conscientious yearning for aLso-" lute truth whirling him from one faith to another like a cork'caught in tho eddy of a stream, and making him the fit prototype of "Robert Elsmere." At the age of fourteen, when the family migrated to Oxford, she breathed the University atmosphere that was joy to her heart. Sho acquired knowl- ��������� edge as naturally as a bird learns to sing, and she was known as a marvelous linguist, being as perfect in German, French, Spanish and Italian as if each were her native tongue. At twenty-one she was married to Thomas Humphry- Ward, one of the university dons, whose "work as author, editor, critic, has ' given him a place in English literature. She was ambitious to write, and her. earliest efforts were so weighted with learning and researchi that they were - as heavy as dumb-bells and fit only for scholars to read when they wanted to get away from pleasure. She wrote many articles for the "Dictionary o������ Christian Biography," which paid little in coin but more in credit. '' Mrs. Ward was thirty-one before she undertook real fiction with "Miss Bretherton," followed four years later by "Robert Elsmere," which captured the reading public of two continents. Before this, it is true, she had written a child's story, a pale-complexioned, ana*mic piece of work, fitly named "Millie and Ollie." Her translation of "Amiftl's Journal" from French into English" ���������was an exquisite literary gem, expressing so perfectly the subtle windings' of the thoughts and emotions of the simple Swiss professor, that it seems as if he himself must have re-thought his whole diary in English, without" the touch of a translator. "David Grieve," which paid its author over $100,- * 000, and others which paid fully as much, soon, followed, among them, "Sir., George Tressady," "Helbeck of Annisdale," "Eleanor" and "Lady Rose's- Daughter." ' In her beautiful country home, in Hertfordshire, she does her literary work, seeking to escape from the storm of publicity her books have' aroused and avoiding all society but a little band of devoted friends. - ��������� ' , Entered accorulnr; to Act of the Parliament of Canada,' la theycar 19*'. by W. c. 31 auk, at 1.11. *ju'i.ntim'i i >.

We have received a report from the coast that on Saturday last there was a stampede of three hundred men te the Tatlayako Lake country, where the .latest gold strike has been made. Similar reports have been published in the Manitoba Free Press and other eastern papers. Here in Asbcroffc nothing is known of the stampede and not more than a dozen people, all told, have left here for the Chilcotin'country. It is regrettable that such false news should be disseminated through the country. This is the worst time of year that such a stampede could take place, now that the winter is so near at hand, and even those who have the gold fever realise this. There is no question that early in the spring there will be a rush to Tatlayako and this rush must come through Ashcroft, but at present there is nothing in any way resembling a stampede and such rumors should be discouraged, for they only do harm.��������� Ashcroft Journal.

JW A blue mark here indicates that your Subscription has become deceased, and that the editor woul%ncej'more like to commune with your collateral. Tiirc tourist trade will grow with or without reciprocity. Many a liar will show his on the morrow in Canada. hand The sun crosses the line today a few laps ahead of Laurier. Wr will know in the morning what kind of flag is flying over this broad Dominion. Although his first charge was a Dutch reformed church, Dr Tal- rnage was a Presbyterian. As he died worth $300,000 wo do not know where he is at present. Foil the benefit of a reader in the Slocan we will say that Sir John A. McDonald died 20 years ago. He was born in Glasgow in 1815, and came with his father to Canada in 1S20. Thinking Themes Lord Chesterfield said that a gentleman is never in a hurry, and the Scriptures teach that "he that believeth shall not make haste." ' The truest mark of power is repose. The most gigantic forces in tho universe are silent. The sun lifts millions of tons of water from the seas daily, besides supplying all earth forces, yet how quietly it shines! Thunders, volcanoes and all boisterous things are weak compared to it. In a factory ' there is a furious rattle among the spindles in the top story, but little power,for you could stop a shuttle with your Gnger; as you descend the noise decreases and the force increases; until in the basement you find the huge Corliss engine, moving like a whisper, yet with such energy iu its silent arm that it could crush you like an eggshell. All noise is waste. If we could save the noise of the trolley car or the locomotive we would have that much more dynamic. It behooves men, therefore, to cultivate repose of manner, simple and modest speech in gentle tones, for their weight in the world is in inverse ratio to their bluster. The lamb is the mildest of creatures, yet the Apocalypse tells us that in the Day of Wrath men will call upon the mountain to fall on them and cover them from "the wrath of the Lamb." That is a picture of the awful power of gentleness. God is gentlest of beings: and the greatest men are the Gentle Men.���������Dr. Frank Crane. engineer for tho Northern Pacific railroad, to bo so arid as to be valueless except for cattle ranching, was sufficiently fertile to grow vast crops of wheat, fruit and other produce, and his opinion on questions relating to moisture of soil may --bo therefore regarded as of thejutmost value. "I have been over many ranches in the Grand Forks district," said General Tannant, "and in many places I found that orchards were suffering from over - irrigation. This is shown very clearly by the comparison between two places on the Phoenix road. On one side is a Doukhabour ranch where no irrigation has been employed, and on the other side is an orchard which has received the doubtful benefits of a water supply artificially augmented by irrigation ditches. The Doukhabor orchard is in splendid condition; the trees are healthy and are of a much stronger growth than those on the other side of the road where the progress of tho young tree has been retarded, I am convinced, by irrigation. "A simple experiment will give anyone a true test as to whether the natural moisture or sub-irrigation in the soil is sufficient to grow fruit and other produce. "In a glass jar place some of the grass roots and press it down firmly. Secure the top of the bottle. Then place the bottle for 12 hours in an ordinary living room in a house during the daytime and for 12 hours during the night. If on examination after this 24 hours' rest there is water on the inside of the glass it will conclusively prove that there is plenty of water in the soil for all ordinary purposes." It may be mentioned that as a result of General Tannant's favorable report on the land in Palouse and Whatcom counties, Wash., which is now producing millions of dollars of agricultural wealth every year, the O. R. & N. before building their line purchased it from the Northern Pacific at the ridiculously low price of $2.60 per acre. ���������Grand Forks Gazette. desired that an answer should be recorded that any change in the tariff would be certainly a detriment. Another speaker drew the lecturer's attention to a similar question being asked at another important centre, which the lecturer had refused to incorporate in his records although the question was the most important one at this juncture. Mr. Laurence said he could not pos-sibly insert' the answer as it verged on a political issue. Personally, he was in full accord and sympathy with the audience in this matter, but remained steadfast iu refusing to inform tho commission of the audience's suggestion in his report. Being informed that it would be in order, a resolution was passed urging on the Dominion government the necessity of opening up the lands between Arrowhead and Revelstoke for settlement in small holdings. Another urged Ih.t the Federal government take action to protect the river bank from washing away at points south of Nakusp, as considerable lands are yearly lost. A third resolution was that the government should devise some means of providing irrigation on lands requiring it and where the communities are small. Uncomfortable Position. Not Too Dry. Kootenay and tho Boundary district havo both suffered a serious detriment in the opinion of prospective settlers through the impression having been given that irrigation is necessary in the Kettle Valley country and in various parts of the Kootenays, according to General T.R Tannant of Spokane. \ It was General Tannant who,' in 1879, wheh the O. R. & R. company was looking for a route through Washington, proved that no less than 14 townships or 3,58,- 000 acrewof land in Whatcom and J'alouse tounties, which had been declared by General Van Vloit, an Mr. C. E. Laurence of Kamloops, who is touring* the interior districts of* British Columbia in the interests of the Dominion Commi- sion of Conservation���������being engaged by the Liberal government in that behalf���������was put in a very uncomfortable position during the meeting which he held at the Nakusp Opera house recently. Mr, Laurence in his address said that it had been the habit of the Provincial government to appoint lecturers from various parts of the Dominion and the States, who held meetings explaining what farmers should do and should not do. The Dominion government had decided to reverse this order of things and had appointed a commission who asked the farmers for'their individual opinions how farming should be conducted, with any suggestions which would be gathered and published for the benefit of others. The lecturer's remarks were interesting and thoroughly enjoyed, but when the audience was asked whether there was anything at present or anticipated in the near future with regard to the fruitgrowing industry concerning which they desired to put their opinions on record, the chairman and others Letters from Jane Ann Skiih-okidgk Nkuk SmiA, N. B. Deau Peggy,���������Don't it seem 41 shame we have to work for a living? This weather, too. If I had my time over again, I'd sooner be handcuffed to a ghost. I would, straight. It's all right for the Jocks and the Sandies and the Janets and the Maggies round these parts. Oue lot goes bare-kneed and the other bare-footed. Make's it a bit interesting at first, 'cause when you take a walk you never know what feechurs you may discover in the landscape. On a windy day, its like being in tho Garden ��������� of Eden before the tailor called. I don't think I should like a 'us- band what had to crawl upstairs backwards when we had company. There'd soon be a breech of the piece. What I mean to say, I should be sure to mako unplessant- ness. Oh, but ain't it warm? Straight, I feel like a cake of soap that's been left all night in the bath. And you know how the dye runs in coloured things, dear. Well, if you was to see me There, talk about the rainbow. Had such a lark the other day, old sparrow. Mind you, this is strickly between ourselves. Well, one of the shuffers here took a car out of his own. I fancy he was on the joy-ride caper. Anyway, he took some extra cushions, a lot more than he'd want to recline on. Lady Dumchuck had gone cycling with a very old friend of .the family. Said she might be homo to lunch, and might not. We knew what that meant. When she goes off with a friend of the family we never sit up for her. Lord Dumchuck, feeling hipped, I s'ppose, went off with a lady visitor that's here studying nacheral history. His lordship knows a lot about this, so he took the lady out fishing, and to show her how to catch trout by tickling them underneath when they're asleep. His lordship's the champion tickler in these parts, but the trout don't seem to have heard of him, else they ain't got any sense. You'd think a trout would know better than go to sleep while it was being tickled, and with his lordship about, too. What?' Well, while the snuffer was mooning round, he goes and runs over a prize chicken. That's the only sort that gets run over; I s'ppose the others don't think it worth while. Knowing the ways of prize poultry the people what live near the high rorad won't keep any other sort. Soon's he run over the article, ourshuffer, it seems,hopped out and grabbed it. When he brought tho oughter-mow-bill home he didn't know what to do with the chicken. I happened to be passing the stable, juBb as he was coming out after taking in some clean straw, so ho says "Canary for yer," and with that he hands mo a paper parcel and nips off. I felt reel sorry when I see what it was, and besides I looked such a fool nursing a bundle like that. If the man it belonged to had come up ho'd very like have said I pushed the pram over it. Baring other people's burdens may be all right or it may not. Anyway I took the bundle up-staira and put it in theshuffer,s bed, with the paper, off. He didn't seem to reelise things till the middle of the night, aud then he yelled terrifik. He dreamed, he said, that some great bird, eagle or something, flew in at tho window and under the bed clothes, and then bit him just for spite. Silly ass. Ho didn't seem at all certain what sort of bird it was, though everybody was willing to search his bed and boxes, and when we asked where he got bit, he said,' "Forget it," so we all went back to bed. He give me a fearful look, but as I found a chicken a second time I didn't mind. Cook got another hat trimmed for cooking it. -Oh. dear, I've hardly asked about your John, and whether you're any nearer going off, and if you're still in the paygent or back at the firewood bundling or the, jam shovelling, or whatever it was you got paid for before you turned pro. Never mind, birdie, save it for know, 'cause after next week I shall be home again, old cherub, and then you can tell me everything, everything. Ta-ta for now dear, and be good. .
