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.

On hearing this we readily understood the tone of approval. Last Fall the. bunk-house and other buildings at the Mine were enlarged, and thoroughly fitted up; and "an electric light" system installed, and a radio purchased and fitted up. ^ There is one department at a Mine " in which every person, regardless of his occupation or interest, takes the deepest interest, and this, is the culinary department. .. and otir townsman Fred Johnson, presides there, and no better meals are given in any camp, than those .prepared by him'.-:.;- ' -.'.

Dr. A.

Presents were provided for all the patients aB well as generous Christinas faro. The Women's Auxiliary, bent a hamper of" fruit, nutp, &c., and many other thoughtful and kind people of the District assisted with various contribution?. Among the visitors were: Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Walters, Miss Elsa Olson, Mrs. Bain, Mr. Nelson, P. H. McCurrach, A.' . N. Mowat, G. Stilwell, E. Andreas, and Charles King. Short speeches, songs and recitations were given, A. Hailp, the one who was so seriously injured on the railway, rendered some very pleasing solos on the harmonica. And so the Christmas spirit was shown in the Gieenwood and District Hospital the first year of its inauguration, and proves that there is love and sympathy in all hearts during the Christmas festival. * It is to be hoped that in future years, this good spirit will continue to be shown.
