In another column will be found the latest in regard to the completion of the reorganization plans of the company. W.-T. SMITH'S CIIARfiKS. The following was wired to coast papers last Monday from Greenwood : Mining circles in the Boundary are intensely interested in the outcome of the unexpected closedown of operations ofthe Montreal & BostDnConsolidated. W'.T. Smith, a heavy stockholder in the Dominion Copper Co., which sold lo the Consolidated, openly charges that the action is primarily due to the smelting more than to the loss of copper matte, and in the accounting of ihe ore funds due shareholders ofthe Domin-! ion under the terms of the bond. He said : \"Net'rly a year ago the Dominion Copper Co. entered into an agreement with the Montreal &'Boston Consolidated for the sale of all its properties j in putting in the Phoenix camp for $480,000, be-1 nu-rb' me ing on the basis ol 15 cents a share on 3,200,000 shares of stock. 'Ihe purchasing company agreed to pay $ 12,000 per month and $2 per ton on all the ore shipped from the 1'hoeivx mines to be settled for every thirty days, and the proceeds to be applied on th-.: bond. So far only $96,000 have been paid and no settlement bad been made for some 50,000 tons of ore shipped during the past yo days. In other words, the Dominion shareholders are entitled to the distribution of $100,000. \"I have no fault to find with the management of the mines. Under Superintendent George M. Collins they have been placed in splendid position for shipment. The close down was inevitable through ihe causes slated.\" Mr. Smith -also made serious charges against H. T. Pemberton, the manager, it is said, but which the coast papers \"Any of the smelter men in tie Boundary know just what we are doing and the success of our smelting operations is well understood. Everything is checked up closely, and Manager Keffer, of the B. C. Copper Co,, which handles our matte in their converter, knows,'too. It is a fact, t'lat can easily be proved, that our slag losses are as low or lower than any smelter in the Boundary. As to the financial matters, referred to by.-Mr. Smith, that is something that the head officers in the east have charge of. The close down was not due to any trouble in smelting or mining practice.\" Asked about the resumption of operations, Mr. Pemberton said : \"The engineers from the easUhould ! be here any da> now, and I see no reason why the mines and smelter should not be in full operation again within the ne*a two or three weeks.\" In New York the new plan for the re rgani'/atio 1 of Montreal & Boston Consolidated has been made public, and ihe Wall Street Journal gives the following synopsis ofthe mattter : '���The new company will be known as the Dominion Copper Company: it will have 2,600,000 shares of stock par $1, and $700,000 bonds, in lien ofthe old capitalisation of 1,300,000 shares, par $5. \"Of the 2,600,000 shares of new stock, 1,000,000 go to the stockholders, 1,400,000 go as a Lonus with the $700,000 bonds, and 200,000 shares go for reorganization exoenses and as a bonus to Munroe & Muuroe creditors. As these creditors hold 310,000 shares of stock they secure 1 )A shares of new stock for each share of old. \"The new bond issue of $700,000 is all underwritten, 'MacKen/ue & Mann, the original owners of the Do minion Copper company, having underwritten $300,000 of the new bonds. They will be offered to stockholders a| 90. Underwriters get them 10 per cent less. \"The new company will start off with its properties fully paid for and about $250,000 cash in the treasury. \"Smelting operations have been ordered suspen led while the smelter capacity is being increased from two to four furnaces, which will give it a capacity of \"1000 tons per day. A converter plant will also be installed. Mining'operations will be continued so as to be prepared to furnish the smelter with 1006 tons o( ore per day when smelting ' operations are resumed in about a month. \"The property will have an entire change of management.'' It will be noted that- the name of the company is to be the Dominion Copper Co., Ltd., thetitle of the old corporation organized in 1899 by Mackenzie, Mann & Co. If this report is correct, it probably means that the Montreal & Boston Consolidated has no provision in its charter for permitting the company to issue bonds, and to overcome this it has been agreed between the parties in chief interest 1 hat the old charter and name of the Dominion Copper Co.\" shall be' used. W. YOLEN WILLIAMS IN. PHOENIX AGAIN The Preston, a promising claim near the Crescent, has been secured by Alex Miller. It is expected that machinery will be installed on the Eikhorn soon and de vclopment resumed. The employee** of the Montieal &* Boston Consolidated were paid offon r Thursday of this week. All free miner's licenses must be renewed by the last day of this month. All interested should make a note of thk Tests on the Hartford group are reported to be satisfactory, but it has been decided not to do any work there for the present. Diamond drilling operations are being started on the H'ollard group on Fourth of July creek, for. the thorough prospecting of those properties. Some of the cars of the dump ore from the Stemwinder mine, shipped by the Dominion Copper Co. recently to the Trail smelter, are reported to have given surprisingly good values. Although no details are given out now, it is said that some of the ore gave from $25 to $50 per ton in all values. Manager Shallenbergerstarted seven men at work on his Don Pedro, 111 Skylark camp, one of the group owned by the Chicago British Columbi.i Mining Co. The present 73 foot shaft will be deepened, some drifting done and ore taken ouf for shipment to the smelter. A whim is being put in. On the Crescent, in Skylark camp, splendid ore is being taken out, and it is estimated that about $ro,ooo worth of ore, running from $100 to $200 per ton, is now on the dump. The wagon road to connect with the Great Northern railway, which runs across the company's property, will be taken in hand shortly. For sometime the Skylark people have been devoting most ol the work to development, with the most gratifying results. This week, however.Two cars of ore were sent out, one of high grade to the Nelson smelter and another of lower grade rock to the Granby smelter. Shipments are h'kely 10 be more frequent from now on. A distance of 470 feet has been attained in the long-tunnel on the Belts and Hesperus, which was started in February. The foot wall is expected to be reached at 500 feet, tapping the ore body at a depth of 225 feet. Itis the intention to build a 1500 foot tramway to connect with the Great Northern track when shipments are begun. A meeting of the directors of the Providence Mining Co. was held Thursday in Greenwood, and W.-T; Hunter was chosen to succeed H. V. | Fuller as secretary of the corporation. Foreman Dermody submitted a report, recommending the installation of an air compressing plant, with another 90 h. p. boiler. President Madden, of Chicago, and directors Fitzgerald, Heeney and Scully, of the same place, were presenr, as well as directors Macy, Peet and Fuller.

William Yolen Williams, who resign ed as superintendent of Ihe Granby mines on July ist of last year, arrived in camp last Tuesday, leaving the next day by th\"* Hedley stage for. Copper mountain in the Similkameen, where he will look after some mining inter O. H. Becker, of Nelson, who looks after C.P.R. freight matters in Kootenay and Yale, and incidentally hustles for new business ;;t competitive points, was in the city yesterday. Mr. Williams received a warm welcome from his host of friends in Phoenix, which place he says seems more like home to him than any place he has visited in the last ten months. His health is fully recovered, and he never looked better in his life. Evidently continental diversions agree with him. After visiting his native home at Bryn Pistyll, Pontbrythallt, Llanrug, Carnarvonshire, North Wales, where he had tbe sad duty of assisting in burying an elder brother during the past winter, Mr. Williams spent a couple of months in Europe. \"It was his original intention to visit the Rio Tin to copper mines in Spain, but his plans were changed. Among other places he went to Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, Genoa, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Pompei', etc., not to speak of the most famous gambling place in the world, Monte Carlo. Mr. Williams noted with pleasure the improvements at the Granby mines since he left, which he had been instrumental in bringing up to the stage where they produced some 2,000 tons of ore daily. He was kept busy most of the time while here in shaking bands with the hundreds of personal friends in Phoenix. John Rogers accompanied him to the Similkameen. Latest Prices in Metels.

A vehicle odd and ancient, the first to reach the Cariboo gold diggings before the wagon road was completed in 1869, and which was at that time a matter of much curiosity to the miners, has been dug up on the Royston Australian ranch at Alexander, B.C., and will be on exhibition at the Dominion Fair to be held at New Westminster from Sept. 27 to Oct. 7. The vehicle was the invention of Mr. Royston. who, with the assisiaivje of Mr. Olson, propelled it into Qucsnell loaded with supplies.

In this respeci it is interesting to note in the various districts the number of tons of ore mined to each man em ployed. An analysis of the above table shows, approximately, that, taking the province as a whole, there were 443 tons of ore mined for each man employed about the mines. In this respect, however, the districts vary very materially, since in the Slocan district the figures show 1 14 tons mined to the man in the year, in tbe Nelson district 280 tons, in tbe Trail creek (Rossland) I district 400 tons, and in the Boundary 1,121 tons. Copper. There has been a further advance made in the production of copper, the output this year being 35,710,12s lbs., valued at $4,578,o37. a\" increase of about 4 per cent, over the preceding Total.'.���:'... .... .35,710,128 li). vf'The average assays of the ores of the various camps, leased upon copper recovered, were vis follows: Boundary camp, 1.38'per cent, copper; Rossland, 1.12 per cent;, and Coast district, 3.68 percent. Uentrii DmloomeBl In 1904. Referring to Boundary mines the report contains the following : \"In the Boundary district the tonnage ol ore mined has increased 15 per cent., and this has called for increased equipment on the part of the large companies owning their own smelting plants. These, realizing that the oxidised ores found in the upper portions of the original ore-bodies were liable to be replaced at'a greater depth by sul: phides, have \"taken time by the forelock\" and secured, by means of purchase or consolidation, all valuable deposits carrying oxidized iron in excess, securing thereby a supply of such ore for fluxing purposes. The average contents of the ore mined in the Boundary for the past year was 1.38 per cent, copper, $1.44 in gold, and 0.3 oz. in silver, to the ton, based upon the statistics of the district. .To mine and smelt in British,Columbia an ore of this grade at a profit, it must be done on a large scale and with the best appliances, and the ores must be self-fluxing or nearly so. That a profit has been made argues that all these conditions have existed, and, further, that the plants have been most economcially run. The company operating upon the largest scale in the district is\" the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co. The- control of this company recently passed into the hands of New York capitalists, and under the new directorate still further' additions have been made to both mine and smelter plants, while additional railway facilities have been acquired through an extension of the tracks of the Great Northern Railway Co.'s'system. From the company's Old Ironsides and Knob Hill there were mined over 544,000 tons, while the company has been operating several other properties under bond and on shares, for the purpose of obtaining their fluxing or oxidized ores. The British Columbia Copper Co. has made important improvements at the Mother Lode mine, and as most of the ore is now being quarried, the company will be able to even further reduce the cost of mining. The mine produced last year 175,000 tons of ore, and the output should be materially increased next year. The company acquired a three-quarter interest in the Emma mine which last year shipped over 36,000 tons of iron ore carrying small values, and used as flux by this company and by the Nelson smelter, which owns the other quarter interest in the mine. The company's smelter treated during the year, including custom ore, etc., some 210,484 tons of ore, containing 36,403 oz. of gold, 118,419 of silver and 5,081,743 ���������>��� of copper. The Montreal and Boston Co. has been re-organized and consolidated with the Bropklyn-Stemwinder, Raw- bide, Athelstan-Jackpot, Sunset and Morrison mines, thereby insuring a large and steady supply of ore, which it will be possible, so to adjust as to make a self-fluxing mixture, an arrangement which should be of great benefit to all the parties of the consolidation. In the vicinity of Greenwood there are small high grade properties which have been developed and have produced several tons of ore, running from $50 to $75 in gold and silver, for which a ready market is found at the local smellers. More atttention has been ��iven of late to this class of small high-grade deposit, and with very pro- It Qairas Thousands ��� WAKM -weather, poor appetite, jfiS: cold drinks and foods cause a general derangement of the entire system.

It acts as a stimulating tonic for tbe entire system. Induces good appetite and regulates tbe bowels. \"I have found it very pleasant to take and very effective and one of the very few medicines which deserve endorsement.' \"It is often a serious question to know what medicine is reliable, and I am therefore glad to give my experience with Peruna, believing that it will continue to give general satisfaction.\"��� E.

The following story in rhyme from an exchange, with its moral, is worth reading two or three times : Said the crpceryman to the butcherman: \"It is really a sin That you buy salt on the wholesale plan, And don't let me handle the tin.\" Then lie hied him back to the grocery store, And quickly an order sent For a few choice hams for family use And a box of fish for lent. Said the clothing man to the hardware man: 'You certainly don't do right, When you order a suit from the eastern house With my big stock in sight.\" But the clothier wanted a new steel range, And it came, as the neighbors know, In a box he tried to hide in a barn, Marked, \"Timothy Eaton & Co.\" The business men then culled a meeting To see where the trouble lay, And they all agreed 'twas the editor man And not\"the devil to pay. \"Why don't he roast the department stores And tbe peddling fakirs,\" they said; \"And stand by those who patronize him, And give him his dailv bread ?\" So they drew up a compact long and stromz Far the editor to peruse, And waited on him with aspect grim As he solemnly dug for news. But the editor laughed a big horse laugh Till tbe gang all took to the woods, For 'twas written on axle grease letter beads, That came with a bill of goods.

If R. A. Brown ever dies.��� and the matteV is open to some doubt ���we can well believe, that the word \"Sunset\" or \"Volcanic,\" or both, will be seen in legible characters on his cardiac organ, says the Grand Forks Gazette. He is the personification of enthusiasm and ' s'anguinehess. 'We would like to see his vivid imaginations of the wealth in Coppei mountain realized, and who knows that they won't be? The initial step- is taken, anyway, and a crew of eleven men are now at work on the famous Sunset. It has been known for some time that' outside capital had become interested in the property, and the result is that aggressive development work will be steadily pushed along. We understand President Underwood, of the B. C. Copper Co., is directly concerned in the new arrangement. Fifty one per cent, of the stock has been taken over for $50,000. A sum of $10,000 has been put up for development, and the balance is to be forthcoming at the end of fifteen months. Those interested have also bonded ten additional claims in the neighborhood of the Sunset. R. A. Brown located the Sunset in '88. It is situated on Copper mountain, twelve miles south of Princeton, on the east side of the Similkameen river. The shaft is stated to be down 190 feet, with drifting done at the 100 and 150-foot levelr. Mr. Brown claims that this deal is the result of negotia: tions carried on by hi in when in New York three years ago. He affirms that Mr. Underwood was delighted with the look of the property on his recent visit, and that he will be out here again shortly. The intention is to keep a force of men continually at work until the money put up for development is expended. We can suit you with a fit or fit you with a suit that you will be proud oi.
