Boundary claims spark a mining boom in British Columbia camps
The report details ore discoveries and mining activity across multiple camps including Summit Humming Bird Greenwood and Kingston near Kettle River. It notes 8000 tons of ore visible at Humming Bird, $75000 worth on dumps at Knob Hill and Old Ironsides, an Anaconda deal bonded to investors, and Jewel Gold Mines Limited registered in England to acquire several claims. Industry figures like W H Aldridge and A B Clabon are quoted on potential developments such as a smelter near Cascade and expansion of the Boundary properties to attract population.
