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.

Since operations were commenced by Jack' Paul Co., some 320 feet of drifting and~ raising has been done according to Mr. Keffer. This work has been decidedly encouraging particularly as a fault was penetrated, and which had discouraged earlier operators. The ore was picked up beyond the fault, and was found to be broken at first, but additional work is making a fine showing.

Did Not See Sky For Nine Months British Explorer Says Malaya Jungle Is Too Dense .Carveih "Wells, F.T..G.S., British explorer, engineer aiul humorist, gave im InteresiiDR address before ihe "Women's Canadian Club, Hamilton, describing. Malaya, -where he has .spent seven years in tlie jungle, -when, building a railway for the llriiish Government. His wife, a Canadian girl, -was with him. For nine months thcy did not got a, glimpse of the sky���the density of the jungle prevented. Only a Canadian girl, he declared, could have existed under the conditions. Five weeks were speui in reaching Singapore, and nearly seven years spent in building ihe railway through the jungle to Dankolr. Humorous ,. descriptions of the animal, fish, reptile and bird life of the peninsula; iu which the speaker spoke most casually of poisonous snakes, lizards, scorpions, spiders and other crawling, falling and biting creatures, made the audience alternately shudder and laugh. All houses, the speaker stated, are built with holes In thc lloor in order that the rain may do the cleansing necessary. Fortunately there ia much rain. The climate was warm, and it was possible to stand in the shade at noonday with a thermometer in each hand, one in the shade and the other in the sun, and have them register S2 and 1G0 degrees Fahrenheit.. Although there are over 20,000 wild women in the land marriageable girls are kept locked up. AVhen a young man goes "sweethearting," lie approaches the father of one of these girls and gets a price on her. Lovely girls, said Mr.'Wells, may be had for ?5, aud widows for $2.

Kvery person inlluences other persons for good or for harm. Often the influence is strongest when ihe individual is least aware of it; unconscious actions and carelessly spoken words often reveal much. An upright and successful man of affairs once said: "When 1 was a young man facing for the iirsi time.the temptations of a great city l used often during the first months when boil? money and friends were scarce to walk the streets of an evening so as to get away from myself���-to forget my loneliness and my longing for companionship. 1 was looking, as everyone is looking���though often he does not know it���foi' someone who understood, someone who had fought my battle and had won?* "One evening ;unid the- hurrying, restless crowd I heard a voice in front 1 of me; it was soft and low, and it ! thrilled me like a chance strain, of sweet music. The speaker was a small, elderly woman, who was talking with a tall, gray-haired man. Of what she was saying I caught a few words���words did not matter! it was the voice that held mc. It spoke to me dimly and confusedly perhaps, yet tru.ly enough, of such pain, grief and conflict as a boy could have but little comprehension of; and it spoke of victory proportionate to its cost. In my eager hope'''and boyish curiosity I passed the couple to get a glimpse of the woman's face. It was, lined and sad ' and of. ineffable sweetness; it quite matched ihe voice. "Though I never saw her again, 1 have never forgotten, ln the-weeks that followed, her voice was with me. It held me like an unseen hand; it led ine, and even now after forty years the influence of it remains.���Youth's Companion.
