the town. The British Columbia Copper 

 Company's smelter is situated at Anaconda 

 which joins Greenwood to the south. The 

 Mother Lode mine of the same company is 

 at Deadwood about 2 -5 miles (4 km.) northwest 

 of Greenwood. The copper deposits at Dead- 

 wood are similar to those at Phoenix. 

 127 m. Midway — Alt. 1,913 ft. (580 m.). Midway 



206 km. lies well within an area underlain by the lavas 

 of the Midway Volcanic group. The town 

 is situated in the broad bottom lands of the 

 Kettle River valley, flanked by terraces and 

 backed by low rounded and conical hills of 

 lava. Boundary creek flows on bed rock 

 between Greenwood and Midway, and near 

 the junction with the Kettle, it has trenched itself 

 in a box canyon with walls of lava. 



ANNOTATED GUIDE (Castlegar to Rossland.) 



o m. Castlegar — Between Castlegar and Smelter 



o km the bed rock is mainly the granodiorite of the 



Nelson batholith with the exception of an area 

 of gneisses and schists (Shuswap series) between 

 Blueberry and Sullivan creeks. Along this 

 portion of Columbia valley, the rock is extens- 

 ively covered by a system of well-defined 

 terraces composed of horizontally bedded sands 

 and sandy clays. To the south of Castlegar, 

 the valley is relatively broad and the bottom 

 lands and terraces support a flourishing fruit 

 industry. 



44 m. Smelter — Alt. 1,565 ft. (467 m.). The smelter 



71 km. and lead refinery of the Consolidated Mining 

 and Smelting Company is situated at Smelter. 

 It is the most important metallurgical centre 

 in British Columbia. The gold-copper ores 

 of Rossland and the silver-lead ores of the Slocan 

 are treated here, and in the case of the latter, 

 the final product is refined silver and lead.
