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.

At the-meeting of the fire department on Monday night Norman McLeod was presented with a watch chain made to match a locket as a token of appreciation for his services during the 14 years he has been member of the brigade. Mr. McLeod who has been sub-chief for five years and chief for two years tendered his resignation some time ago and this was the first opportunity the department had of showing their appreciation of his services.

A banker going home to dinner saw a $5.00 bill on the sidewalk, he picked it up and noted the nnmber and went home to dinner, while at home his wife remarked that the butcher had sent a' bill amounting to $5.00. The only cash he had was the $5.00 he had found, which he gave her to pay the butcher. The butcher paid it to a farmer, for a sucking pig, the farmer got $5.00 worth of goods with it at a store, the merchant paid it to one of his help who wished a small loan on account, he paid his room rent with it, she owing the banker a $5.00 note went to the bank and paid the note. The banker recognized the bill as the one he had found and which to that time had paid $25.00 worth of debt. On careful examination he found that the bill was counterfeit. Now what was lost in he transaction and by whom. K. of P's Entertain. The progressive whist* party, given by the local lodge Knights of Pythias in their,hall on Wednesday night was. a most enjoyable affair. Upwards of 100 were present and all' seemed to be' oat bent upon having a good time, and they certainly had a swell evening, for the K. of P's are up������tothe-minute hosts. Twenty tables were nicely arranged forQcards and after Mr. Matthews announced tbe manner in which the score was to be made, all played with a good natured determination to win. Mrs. Wm. Phi Hips, won the ladies first prize scoring 143 and Mrs. Adams was a close second with 142 points. Jno. Hancock won the gentleman's prize with 143 points and David Werry got second. During the games the gramophone was kept busy which added much to tbe entertainment of the guests. Luncheon was served shortly before midnight and justice was done to this part of the programme as the coffee and cake was good and the icecream delicious. Supper over a splendid programme of songs was given by E. Bidder, E. McCutcheon, R. Purden, Wm Spooner aud a duett by Mrs. Terhune and J. Hancock all of which were-exceptionally well rendered. Mr. F. White-as Chancellor Conimauderof the lodge welcomed the guests in his own happy way and after singing Auld Lang Syne all left for their various homes feeling that the K. of P's as entertainers are past masters.

A fortune awaits the man who discovers the way to make atmospheric conditions conform to the desires of the human race. and eveyy word wo use in talking about things stands for a thought, to assort there is anything else than thought is a senseless affirmation. "Geologic history teaches us," ho concludes, that life is only an episode between two eternities of death, and even in this episode thought endures but a moment. Thought is but a flash in the midst of a long night. But that flash is everything." What a fool then am I to think that any outward event can overwhelm me! What all men can do to me is nothing; it only matters what I do to myself. To a soul that knows realities there can bo no tragedy, no collapse no failure.

Ho had come from Sweden and was held up at Ellis Island until tho inspectors ' wore satisfied bo had friends in Minnesota who would take care of him. As the lad grew up he found so many Adolph Olsons among his Swedish-American citizens that ho petitioned the court to allow him to take tho woman ho married. So today ho is Adolph Olson Eborhard, and he is tho governor of the sovereign state of Minnesota, which is going somo in thirty two years. Yet the man who has risen from thusiastic admirer of tho Kootenays and particularly of Kaslo. People [steerage to the governor's chair has living here, he says, do not realize, as a whole, how well off or how fortunate they are and the possibilities that aro about them. Grand Forks Fair Thinking Themes Every mind has its own world. There are as many worlds as there ave people. What tho universe really is no one knows; it is a vain question, for nobody will ever find out; the only matter of interest is what the universe is to me. So many men, so many worlds. The worlds of the degenerate, slouching along the slums; of a monk in bis old world monastery where the days slip by with no marking incidents but recurring matins aiul vespers; of a busy lawyer; of a newspaper reporter; and of a housewife, ocenpied with her children, her sewing, her baking, are as so many different planets. It is idle to speculate abont "the end of the world, and whether, it will be burned next Thursday in a grand Day of Judgment or to be frozen to death a million years from now, or be knocked into pi some day l>y a loose comet; for when its all over with me, when my consciousness ceases to record, it is all over with me, -'the sum of t things entire." To be sure there is what William James called a -'blooming confusion of consciousness," thatis there is a myriad-multitude of things in the outside world that crowd upon our attention, but after all we make the world what we will "just as tho architect is free to create his Everything is now about in readiness and points to the Grand Forke Fair, to be held Sept. 25 A test shipment- of ore amounting to about thirty sacks, was brought down rrom the Red Elephant mine, on Hall creek, on Monday, the shipment being made by J. W. Power and Hughie Mc Kay, the owners of the pi-oporty. I migrant's Minnesota friends would not forgotten tho days of hardship iu his youth. Visiting in New York last week he heard of a little German boy who had been held up at the immigration station under circumstances identical with those' which confronted Adolph Olson thirty two years ago. So the governor of Minnesota got busy and after a hard day's work convinced the authorities that the little im and 2G eclipsing the splendid shows of the Agricultural association here in previous years. The directors held a special meeting Monday evening, when various matters of detail were arranged. Entries are already being mado for the various competitive exhibits, and from the expression of those who purpose exhibiting the display of products of the farm and ranch will be particularly good. Word has been received from several teams who have signified their intention of entering in the baseball and football tournaments, which give assurance of some first- class games. Information is to hand that there will be somo good strings of horses for the track events, most of which will probably bo well filled. A new feature for the fair was arranged this week,' when the Grand Forks company of School cadets wero secured to give an exhibition of drills and camp manoeuvres. They will also take' part in several competitive events. It will be remembered that the Grand Forks cadets won the Union Jack for the best! drilled company in camp at Nelson, in competition with the various Kootenay companies. ��������� ��������� Another good attraction for gun building" from all the material he men will be put on the first day of finds. . The Jate Henri Poincare, who received the Bolyal prize from the Hungarian academy as the most eminent mathematician in the world, said: "What is not thought is nought; since we can think only thoughts, tho fair, when a live pigeon shoot will be pulled off under the auspices of the Grand Forks Gun club. The local club have secured several hundred live pigeons and the shoot should prove a big drawing card for marksman of the district.���������Grand Forks Gazette. This shipment will be cut up into three lots, one of them to go to the State College of Mines, Pullman, Wash., for testing, and the other two to separate smelters, also for testing, the idea being to discover the best method of treating the ore. This season's work on the property has developed nothing new. A cross cut was started to open up a ledge running parallel with the one upon which some development work has already been done but work had to he abandoned before the ledge was cut on account of the supply of powder having run short. It cost $30 to get the thirty sacks of ore from Hall creek to Howser, the nearest railway station and it traveled by pack train, launch and wagon in making the trip. According to reports brought down from the Upper Duncan section, a new strike has been made on the Wagner group Iiy Cutler T. Porter, who has been conducting prospecting operations this summer by means of sluicing. No particulars aro obtainable at tho present time regarding tho nature of the new find but it is believed to be a big one, Mr. Porter having gone down to Spokane to round up some of the mining men down there to como up and take a look at it. take care of him, and secured his release. Is history going to repeat itself and thirty years hence will the immigrant boy who was helped through Ellis Island by the governor of Minnesota become his successor in that gubernatorial chair? Who can tell? equally heavy. Tho railroad companies are quoting a special rate of single fare for tho round trip, which is an exceptionally good one, and will no doubt bo taken advantage of as the program provided for the entertainment of visitors at this year's fair is an unusually strong one, far outranking that of any previous exhibition and will be equal to any of the platform attractions seen at tho biggest fairs of the west. Some fifteen acts have been procured from the Western Vaudeville Managers Association of Chicago, which in itself is a guarantee of only high class performers. These with other attractions such as horse races, rock drilling . contests, district displays etc, will be a hard combination to beat. Probably the attraction around which the most interest will centre will be that of the "Battle in the Clouds" and "The Electric Screen" a most gorgeous pyrotechnic display which has been secured at great expense and will be in charge of the well-known firm of Hitt & Co. who will also provide fireworks at the Spokane and Vancouver!

After the battle of Corinth, where he was promoted to the rank of Major-General on the battle field, he came into his tent and called his servant.

The recent Mother Lode big blast at the mine near Greenwood, when more than 24 tons of dynamite was set off at once was tho largest blast in the history of mining. The Gazette recently paid a visit to the Oregon property which has been under development pretty constantly since March last and tho indications appeared favorable for reaching the ore body. Jim McNulty . and partner [{are busy driving a crosscut' at almost right . angles from the faco of the Bahrs tunnel to catch the footwall of an ore body which, from* surface indications ' and the geology of the hill, should soon be encountered unless the ore body of which they aro in quest has been playing Jsome of those pranks for which elusive ore bodies are sometimes noted. The Oregon lies on the east side of the Similkameen river between three and four miles below Hedley and is on the watershed between Eighteen Mile and Sixteen Mile creeks which Hows in the Similkameen. About six years ' ago Henry Bahrs had a bond on the property and ran in a tunnel to tap an ore body which was exposed on the surface but appeared to have miscalculated the shape in which it was lying for the tunnel apparently ran below it and across the line of the strike. The work now being done is a crosscut from the face of the Bahrs tunnel and almost at right angles to it. If the strike of the ore body should be as the owners believe it to be, the ore will be struck in the top of the crosscut. Excellent values were obtained from samplings of various outcrops and since Bahrs threw up his bond a great deal of stripping and trenching has been done to size up the geology of the immediate vicinity and ascertain the relative positions of the various rock formations and their trend. This done, tho present work seems well calculated to give results, but nevertheless mining problems are not always easy of solution and when they are finally worked out and tho answer to the riddle iB laid bare, one is apt to be struck with the number of chances there are for missing the object sought to each one there is for finding it. This feature has been most effectively illustrated in certain portions of the Nickel Plate mine and make some interesting tragic and comic chapters in its history.��������� Hedley Gazette. in their faith as to the future of mining properties on the North Fork and many resumed work on their claims this year. Among them was Louis Johnson and partners, who have been developing the "Union group of claims, which was referred to at length in a recent issue of The Gazette as having some splendid ore and from which a shipment of a carload of ore has been made. Thirty tons were hauled by wagon to Lynch Creek, 28 miles, and shipped by car to Granby smelter via tho Kettle Valley railway. The transportation and smelting charges amounted to 822.50 a ton. Although the owners have secured the returns of this ore from the Granby, the figures are shrouded in mystery as far as the public is concerned. Aside from the statement that, notwithstanding the high cost of transportation, the returns leave a substantial margin, Mr. Johnson has nothing to say. It is rather significant, however, that the number of teams for hauling the ore have been doubled this week. Mr. Johnson intends to continue the shipments and when snow comes will ship a carload a week. "There are prospects for a big mining camp on the North Fork," said C. H. Niles, who with G. E. Massie returned Thursday from a hurried auto trip to Glonster camp. "There appears to be a number of properties with good ore, and with proper development tho Kettle Valley railway will no doubt extend its line to the mines. It is stated that a grade of one per cent, can be obtained the entire distance from Grand Forks, which will be an important feature for transportation." The wagon road for the 46 miles to Glouster is in fine shape for motoring at present, according to Mr. Niles.���������Grand Forks Gazotte. Teck Hughes mine, Kirkland Lake, at the 100-foot level, shows 14 inches of high grade ore, equal to that on the surface. This vein had dipped out of tho shaft at the depth of 40 feet and was picked up about 35 feet from tho shaft. A winze will be sunk on tho oro aud the vein followed down to the 200- foot level. The vein has now being stripped for 1,400 l'oefc on the Teck-Hughes and tlie Wettlaufei property adjoining. So far the Teck-Hughes is the only Kirkland Lake mine that has done any drifting or cross-cutting. g SMITH'S SMITHS SMITH'S SMITH'S 1 *" ��������������������������� . ���������. ��������� , . *--*<9 Ej Ego Baking Powder, 35c size for 25c, A good buy 23 B Watch our grocery window.

And it will not be a surprise to many if Glouster will devolop into one of tho richest camps in British Columbia. A do/en years ago a large number of mining properties on the North Fork were opened up to a considerable extent and some bore all tho earmarks of future producers, but were never developed to the extent of warranting the Kettle Valley railway in extend- ingi ts line beyond LynchCroek, the present torminns. Through the difficulty in getting the ore out for trr-atinont the. development of properdins gradually ceased. The big mining companies at different times sent experts into the district to examine various mining claims, but apparently with unsatisfactory roHiilts. But throughput the long loll pioneer prospectors never wavered Toronto.���������The Kirkland Lake gold field is attracting much attention and a ruBh of prospectors, mining men and speculators has set in, which recalls the days of the Cobalt and Porcupine running booms. The principal distribution point is Swastika, where great activity prevails and a small settlement is ���������pringing up at Kirkland Lake��������� the government road .now being constructed from Swastika to Kirkland Lake being rapidly pushed to completion. Many new discoveries are being reported. At the Burnside property, adjoining the Foster, a surface vein showing free gold haB been stripped for 50 feet and a 1 9- inch ore body found the values of which are stated to run as high as 8700 per ton. The Bobbins' claim in the same locality has a high grade vein two to three inches wide showing visible gold and tellurium. The rich vein at the Foster (formerly the Tongh-Oakes) which first attracted attention to the camp, maintains its values. Tbe operation of the five-stamp mill has rendered it evident that the Btraight araalgmation process will not suffice for the extraction of the metallic content of the ore. The recovery only amounting to about CO per cent, of the values. It will therefore bo necessary to instal larger and more expensive machinery. Capitalists looking for investments make the same complaint as wa9 frequent in connection with Porcupine development, that prospectors ask exorbitantly high prices for their claims, but on the other hand it is alleged that the figures at which locations with good surface showings can bo had aro more reasonable than thoso asked in other camps. The vein recently cut at the Harry Grey has bought a lot in this town between H. T. Letts and the Bridesville Livery Barn. Harry will build this fall.
