The Vancouver syndicate has decided not to proceed with the Golden Slipper mining claim and related bonds from Tebbitt Tree Easson Prouse Miller and others. The move disappoints locals who fear a mining downturn for Texada ledges as workers shifted to other claims.
The correspondent describes a new water system near the camp with a mountain-sourced supply, aqueduct, reservoir and iron mains delivering water to homes. It notes potential reduced typhoid fever, mentions a recent assault case in open court, and details a barn fire near Comox plus a bush fire near Calverley that burned fences and outhouses but left dwellings intact after swift fire department action.
The column lists ships loading coal for San Francisco and Vancouver, arrivals from Comox and Vancouver with passengers, and a New York style essay on notable footwear of famous women. It also notes a Salvation Army door-to-door campaign, a bush fire near Mr Heyland’s residence, and a dry goods sale at Bullock’s.
