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.

Burial took place n Vancouver, - '- X' Camp McKinney to Revive Prospects are bright for the reopening of a number of old mines in Camp McKinney, Greenwood district, one of the oldest mining camps in the province. Since the closing doWta of the mines conditions have greatly improved. The district is now provided with good roads, railroads and electric power; the South Kootenay Power & Light Co.'a transmission line from Greenwood to Copper Mountain traverses that section, so that it it believed tbat a largo body of low grade gold ore can be profitably mined���a condition not possible in the early dayB, Referring to Camp McKinney, E. A. Haggen writing in Vancouver Province says: "Mr. J. B. Wood worth of Vancouver has taken an option on the old Cariboo McKinney mine, and th* Sailor and Kamloops which' adjoin, with a view to reopening these properties. Carlboo-McKin- ney was the firBk dividend-paying gold-quartz mine to be opened in British Columbia. It was operated for some years .by'a Spokane company; and consequently aold to a Toronto company knpwn as the Cariboo McKinney Mining & Milling Company Limited. During its period of operation the mine paid $509,337 in dividends; It waB shut down on account of the ore becoming too low-grade at depth to make a profit. Mr. Woodworth has been investigating the property and has come to the conclusion that there is a good prospect of picking up the downward extension of the high-grade ore shoot, which was displaced by a* fault; whilefehere are alio promising ore bodies on the neighboring properties included in the deal. Besides, there are 200,000 tons of tailings on the dump which it may pay to treat by oyaniding.. Much of the ore was sulphide, in which the Values were lost. for' want of a cyanide plant, thongh a certain tonnage was saved on the tableB as concentrates, and shipped to the smelter. ../.This mine was the scehe^of one of the most sensational highway robberies*1 ihtbeyeariy-history- of British Columbia, when the meS? gangers carrying out the monthly gold brick were held up and robbed of their treasure. '. One, man was shot over th^ affair. .7T4he reopening of thefmihe will, revive interest in-' Eock -Creek, where,'there.:are promising, deposits of gold quartz.; Eock Creek itself was an important producer, or placer gold 'derived from the disintegration of. thbse quartz veins.". :.

R. Leslie, Superintendent of the Dominion Experimental Station, Morden, Man. The foundation upon which praicii apple-growing is built is tin? hardy I'o rut of tin.' .Siberian Crab (I.'ynis iia-:- cala). The crab* i < .produced ��� o'u a tree thai, proves hiirdy -on Kooii soil in sht'Iiored hx-aiitms ilinnmhoui tin j whole Ii'iititit and treailth of the habit-; ated prairies. This crab is hardy both in tree and In fruit buds and bears bountiful crops. II is well for llie beginner to .include two or uior��* of ihe Siberian crab trees in his first nursery order. Thcy will bulwark his faith in, times when the more lender progeny and cousins of this hardy crab apple suffer more 01* less seven! frost injuries or oilier reverses. Thi:; most hopeful localities for planting out apples, oilier Ihan th'i hardy crabs, aro where sweet corn, Held corns and watermelons do well year after year, smd where the annual rainfall Js at least over fifteen inches. An important point is the autumn precipitation. Dry soil conditions ln autumn are very much against the well-being,vOf the apple tree. Evaporation continues all winter and (he trees should havo access to available soil moisture in lalo autumn. In an unusually dry summer, concluded by lack of * copious rainfall in September and October, il may be a splendid plan to saturate the soil by means of trenches around all apple and crab apple trees. Regions, of generous rainfall are predisposed to produce thrifty tree growth. Of course,' soils holding free alkali do not give fruit trees other than a poisoned medium for growth. A well-grown one-year-old whi_p is. the optimum apple tree for planting. The second place choice is a two-y&ir old tree of moderate growth. Digging a tree, washing the roots free from earth, bandaging the roots with moss, lightly packing the trees, shipping by ex.press, unpacking thCtrees, carrying them to the field with roots in a pail, of. water, placing the roots in/freshly dug holes,* firmly tramping the soil about the'roots, and then- smoolhly'cutting back.the top of tho. tree,'- is aflbng-continued .and. trying .experience.' for;; the'."tree and "certainly jiuirttf.be classed as a ."major., operation.';,. *.:��� ' ���������.-.;.:' -r. /���'.. ... /���; _._-��� ;- ��� .
