Company owning this mine has recently disposed ol $50 000 in bonds, to sink the Son-fuot shaft to the looo-foot level. At Immfoarg iHttt^, AND SMELTING WORKS. Kim COMING AND GOING Chas. D. Hunter, manager of the Hunter-Kendrick Co., spent several days at Halcyon Hot Springs this week. Chas. E. Lane, head electrician for the Granby Co., spent several days here early this week from Grand Forks. John H. Fox, of Nelson who rustles freight for the C. P. R., made one of bis periodical visits to Phoenix last Saturday. George C. Hodge, of Nelson, district superintendent for the B. C. Telephone Co., was here on buisness Wednesday. Mrs. Geo. L. Fraser, mother of Mrs. G. D. Turner, returned to Coleman, Alberta, ,lasjt Saturday, after spending several wets&s in Phoenix. A. C. Boulerious and wife expect to leave next Monday for Oakland, California, where Mr. Bouterious will go into business with his brother. John Cosgrove, of Wiilis & Cosgrove Calgary, was here two days this week, arranging for the appearance of the Beggar Prince Opera Co., on March 30. - James Newby, of Grand Forks, one of the old timers of the district, was a visitor in camp early this week. He expects tq move to Alberta this spring, having a ranch there. John W. Kirkup, of Rossland, the big government agent and assessor, was in camp on Thuasday on departmental business. He says there is twice as much snow in Rossland as in Phoenix. G. W. Rumberger went to Spokane Saturday, to meet his brother, Howard Rumberger. The latter was returning Irom the east with his bride, he being an engineer, operating in Alaska, and living in Seattle. A. D. Morrison, the Grand Forks jeweller, was in camp again Wednes- dsy. Walter Mills, who had charge of his Phoenix store up to the time of of closing it last week, will be with Mr. Morrison in Grand Forks after the first of next month. Frank Smith, of Detroit, Mich., a brother of O. B. Smith, Jr., superintendent at the Granby mines, spent most of tbe week here, leaving Thursday for Spokane and the coast. Clarence Smith, a son of Frank Smith, and who is in the livery business at Mol- son, Wash., was here also to visit his father and uncle. 25,388 TONS IN SINGLE WEEK Breaking Records Continuous Performance Granby Mines Sent Out 4,048 Tons in 24 Hours BEST ICE OF THE ENTIRE WINTER And Curlers are Making the ^Most of It. Although there were many other attractions in town this week, the interest in the contests of the curling club continues, the best ice of the winter now being on the rinks. Early in the week the Toronto Silver Plate Co. and President's prizes competition was closed, the Strachan rink winning from George and in the last game from Sherbino. This makes two cups that the Strachan rinks have won this winter, and Mr. Strachan, who is a great enthusiastic, is getting quite a collection of this kind of souvenirs. A game was played this week by the Social Mess Club against the Lowei Town, the line up being as follows: Social Mess: McCracken, Perkins, Hyslop and Carter; Lower Town: George, Morrin, Gardner and Reeves. The Lower Town won by a score of 11 to 8, one of the onlookers stating that the Social Mess boys put up a good game, but of course did not have a chance to win. Just now the final competition is on between rinks from the Upper Town and Lower Town. The contest is for the most points in ten games, results thus far being as follows: Morrin won from Strutzel—14 to 6 Campbell " Reeves—12 to 11 Gardner " Campbell-19 to 6 In this competition the Lower Town is now (up to Thursday night) 30 points ahead. When the Pioneer published last week that the Granby Company had shipped a total of 24,440 tons of ore from the company's mines in Phoenix for the preceeding seven days, this paper did not anticipate that it would be called upon to record any more breaking of shipping records for a while to come. While the Pioneer was being printed Friday evening, the mine management was just completing the largest day's shipment fiom the property being no less than.4,005 tons for the 24 hours, arid this &eek, Wednesday, 4,048 tons was the output for one day. Not only that, but by reference to our ore table on this page, it will be noticed that the tonnage for this week amounted to the splendid figures of 25- 388 tons, which was at the rate of 3,620 tons daily, or more than 100,000 tons per month—something never heretofore done in Phoenix, from one property, in the Boundary, or in Canada, for that matter. This tonnage was put out in spite of the fact thai the big Victoria hoist was out of commission a day or two, awaiting some minor repairs to the 250 h. p. motor by which it is operated. To Store 15,000 Tons Recently large additions have been completed to the ore bunkers at the Gtanby smelter, and gradually a re serve of ore is being accumulated there which will amount to about 15.000 tons. This, in some measure, accounts for the unusually heavy shipments from the company's mines the last two weeks—though the eight blast furnaces at the smelter itself are doing their best to use up the full tonnage sent down to the valley by the two railway lines, and are quite successful in the effort. The coke bins at the smelter have been materially enlarged in the last few months, together with the ore bins and it is intended in the future to carry a greater supply of this fuel, in case of breakdowns on the railways, or any other cause temporally stopping the regular shipments of about 500 tons daily from the Crow's Nest Pass collieries. Boundary Side Lights Two Nights of Minstrel Maids. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week the Minstrel Maids, under the Juvenile Bostonian management, gave entertainments at the opera house. Notwithstanding the St. Patrick's day dance on Tuesday evening, there was an excellent house, and the second evening a fair audience was present. Taken all in all, the show was a source of amusement and pleasure to a large number, a change in programme taking place the second evening. Little Halcyon Martin, the six-year old midget, captured the audience as the interlocutor in the minstrel first part, while Miss Fay Griffin, as Budweiser, of Budweiser Peak, in the second part, convulsed every one present with her excellent male impersonation. Not a man appeared on the stage at any time, except to peek from behind the curtains before the entertainment began. Greenwood public school is to have fire escapes and fire drills for the scholars. Two firemen are to be in the Auditorium theatre during the entertainments.

Midway Knights of Pythias were billed to give their annual ball last evening. Thomas J. Hardy, formerly of Phoenix, and now Midway's only general merchant, has been gazetted as a justice of the peace. Tuesday's annual ball by Greenwood Miners' Union was a very successful event, music being by a ten piece orchestra. Wm. Rutherford, a Nelson druggist, is preparing to open a branch in Grand Forks, April ist, in the old stand of W. A. Thrasher. P. Burns & Co., Ltd., are installing a refrigerating plant in Grand Forks, similar to that placed in the Phoenix branch a year ago. Miss Helen Moffatt, of Greenwood, and Carl Julihu, of Washington, were married in Spokane last week, and have gone east to reside in the American capital. Ernest Bunting, for eight or ten years with Rendell & Co., at Eholt and Greenwood, is said to have gone,, to the coast, bound for that mecca, Prince Rupert. Loftus Bros., who are operating a sawmill on the No. 7 wagon road, about three miles across country from Phoenix, expect to manufacture fruit boxes this summer. Machinery for the manufacture of fruit boxes, for which there is considerable demand in the Boundary, is being installed by the Kettle River Lumber Co., at Grand Forks. Last Monday Thos. Fraser Sutherland, of Tiail, and Miss Florence Ethel Younge, of Toronto, were married by Rev. 'M. D. McKee in Greenwood at the Presbyterian church. Boundary moving picture show gave an exhibition in Greenwood last week Wednesday and on Saturday night in Eholt. The headquarters of the show are in Phoenix—the center of the Boundary. George R. Naden, M. L. A. for Greenwood, who returned from his duties, at Victoria this week, is understood to be planning to open a realty and insurance office in Prince Rupert when that town opens up. Last Sunday the funeral of Mrs. John H. Morrison, who died a few days previously, took place in Greenwood. Deceased was born in Germany 43 years ago, and had been a resident of Gieenwood for eleven years. The Nelson News thinks that Duncan Ross, M. P. w.ll be nominated again for Yale-Cariboo on the first ballot at tbe convention to be held in Vernon on April 14th. Mr. Ross wtll be there himself to manage the nominating campaign. There is talk among the Great Nor- thean railway officials of cancelling the Sunday taains running north of Spokane to British Columbia points. The railway employees would doubtless welcome such an order, if the general public did not, as the trainmen for the most part are paid by the month. Recently elected officials of Greenwood Miners'Union No. 22 were as follows: President, Geo. Heatherton; vice-president, Jos. J. Chambers; financial secretary, R. A. Matheison; recording secretary, Ed. Peiper; treasurer, W. T. Thompson; warden, James Hampson: conductor, Jno. Ingles; trustees, Chas. Bierce, J.J. Chambers, J. T. Irwin, Luke Skelly and J. B. I Manrose. I The Haynes estate case was settled out of court in Victoria recently. The terms of settlement are that the defendants, the B. C. Land & Investment Agency, J.ul., pay $7,500 and that all charges of fraud be unreservedly withdrawn, each party paying its own costs. The ranch was bought by the defen danls from the administrator of ihe estate of the late Judge Haynes for $65,000, and is claimed to be worth $1,000,000. The property is a cattle ranch near Osoyoos. More than 219,000 tons of ore have been shipped this year from the Granby mines. Preparations are being made for the shipment of another carlotof Crescent high grade ore. It is understood that work will be resumed at the Sally mine, near Ikaverdell, West Fork, about the first of June. More cars of machinery for the new air compressor for the B. C. Copper Co.'s Mother Lode mine, have arrived in Greenwood. The bunch of horses belonging at the Mother Lode mine, that have out to pasture for the winter, have been sent back to the property. The E. P. U. continues to be developed by a long and deep tunnel by the Phoenix Greenwood syndicate that took it under bond over a year ago. Eastern financial papers are explaining why the Granby passed its last quarterly dividend. The explanation can be made in two words: Low copper. .. -■■ Report has it that the Gloucester) group in Franklin camp is to be bonded, to the parties who have the bond on the Maple Leaf group, the price being $90,000. The Nelson Iron Works has an order from the B. C Copper Co. for eight 30-ton slag pots, each weighing eight tons, for use at the company's smelter, whenever it shall resume operations. While the Snowshoe" mine is not operating, the Consolidated Co., is making regular shipments of lime rock to the Trail srtfelter, from the company quarries at Fife, overlooking Christina lake. Owing to the burning out of a couple of coils in the 250 h.p. motor, operating the Victoria hoist at the Granby mines, that outlet was out of commission last Monday. Static discharge was the cause. The provincial government will not allowrthe-.cityvjfuGreenvvpocV^to issue $50,000 in bonds for thS"l|B|apse of giving a bonus to the'/l'6n'jjr''tunnel to be driven towards. iPh'oenix. The matter, however wilj[ji>jtobably be handled in some other way. Granby shares are holding up to 85 and 95, the same as they have been quoted since January. B. C. Copper is 4}( and 4^ while Dominion Copper is 2j4 and 2j4. Consolidated smelters fell to 63 when the usual dividend was passed, but has recovered several points since. This week each one of the eight furnaces at the Granby smelter had an average run of 438 tons daily, making 3,428 tons for each furnace for the week, or a total of 23,999 (they could not squeeze in another ton) tons for the week—being still another new record for the Granby smelter. Definite imformation has been received in the Boundary that $50,000 in 6 per cent gold bonds, the issue of which was authorized by the Providence Mining Co. last fall, have been sold in Chicago.the price not mentioned. This is understood to mean activity at the Providence mine again in due course. This week Ex-Alderman and Nelson Carson, of Phoenix, began work on their group of five claims adjoining the Ora Denoro group in Summit camp. The claims are the Denora, Payne, C. P. R., Gold Finch and Tread well. The C. P. R. runs through the property, and excellent copper showings are said to be found all over the claims. They think they have something particularly good, and propose to open them up and demonstrate that. fact, even if they have to interest outside capital to do it. A well known mining man of the Boundary says: "Not much is being said about the Jewel mine, in Long Lake camp, but the property,seems to, be turning out a winner, and will be heard from favorably in the near future."' At the Jewel mine about a-, dozen men are employed by Foreman Chataguay Smith. Manager Roberts, the engineer in charge for the Scotch syndicate owning the property, as soon as a decision comes from Colorado^ regarding the best method of treating the gold ores from this property, ex- ■ pects to install a: plant especially suited to-the mine. \ Acarload of ore,, was sent to Colorado for this purpose.

Richard McBride, on behalf of the provincial government, has requested the Leiuteuant-Governorj' to invite through the proper channels the American fleet to visit Victoria and Vancouver during its stay on ihe Pacific. The provincial government feels that the occasion is fraught with considerable importance to the Pacific coast generally and hence their action. The government has been asked by the Vancouver authorities to take such action, and Dr. Elliott S. Rowe, the secretary of the tourist association of that city, waited upon the government in that connection. The invitation will probably be conveyed through the secretary of state at Ottawa to the navy department and to Admiral Evans or his successor in command. D. Mussatto expects his new building wiil be finished next week. About the the first of May the big sawmill at Cascade will resume operations. Fruit lands in the Kettle River Valley around Grand Forks are again attracting the attention of the outside bnyers. Newly chosen officers of the cricket club at Grand Forks are as follows: President, M. Burrell; vice-president, J. D. Campbell; secretary-treasurer W. B. Bower; captain C. Mahon; executive committee, Messrs. Mahan, Beckett, Watts, Clark, Lutley and Fripp. The dog poisoner Greenwood. is abroad in You will be somewhat ashamed of having once talKed about "bad luck" after you have become an advertiser— for a prosperous man rarely believes in luck at all.

In this case its success certainly means much to in the Slocan, and every one hopes that it will come out as anticipated, bur it is, so far, largely an experiment. However, it may be well worth trying, at least, and if the government ioses, it will not be much, not nearly as much as, doubtless, will be lost hy private capital already put into the smelter. Hon. Richard McBride, minister of mines, who introduced the Canada Zinc Co. loan measure, does not pre- jtend to be an expert in mining and smelting affairs, and believed he was doing a worthy thing in putting through this bill���and we trust that it will prove that he was right; yet it certainly does not have the appearance of being a sufficient amount to accomplish much towards the laudable object intended by its sponsors.

Reduction of dividends by the Calumet & Hecla, American Smelting, Amalgamated, Federal Mining & Smelling, and other representative industrial corporations are now .giving the measure of the decrease in profits due to the fall in the price of metals, itself the consequence of a general commercial depression, the inevitable sequel of overexpansion of credit and reckless speculation. The actual shrinkage in copper profits, whether from mining or trading, amounts to nearly 75 per cent as compared to the maxi- mun attained a year ago, and it affords a striking commentary on the confident assurances given by insiders when copper was selling at 26 cents per pound.���Mining and Scientific Press.

During ,the .recent. session,of, the provincial legislative assembly,' an act wes passed authorizing tbe loan of $10,- 000 for two years, at five per cent, to the Canada Zinc Co., Ltd. As security the government 'takes a first mortgage on all; ,the property of the company, real and personal. The_Cahada Zinc _ Co. is endeavoring to establish a zinc' smelter at or near Nelson, .and its promoters believe they have.solved an hitherto difficult problern-pthat of separating - the zinc from other metallic contents in ores from,t,he; Kootenay mines. They were "upfa.tree", financially,. and,, with influential friends, tasked tbe government to assist them to this moderate extent. Iff thcenterprise proves successful, the government 'will 'get its ' money with interest,' and the establishment of this new. industry will, certainly be a great thing, for,, metalliferous .mining in-British Columbia.) Otherwise, the money will be sunk, as the plant will only sell for old junkj. And then, this precedent opens up a wide vista. What is the matter with the government loaning a few thousand to some meritorious newspaper���like mines and smelters that are not yet on paying basis, they are always short of cash. In fact, there are innumerable objects whose promoters would be glad to negotiate a loan from the government, and who could p*t up a nice line of talk to back them up, too. B. C MINING But, to any man familiar with the large amounts of capitaj needful to establish any smelting industry on a firm and profitable basis, the question arises as to what can be done with so small a sum as $10,000? One Boundary smelter has five times that sum invested in coke alone. It is a mere bagatelle, as needful expenditures in such industrial establishments go. Of course, it is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and the zinc smelter may be able to tide over and be made a financial success with this item of $10,000, but men of wide experience in the smelting industry will look with some suprise at what is expected to be accomplished with this comparitively insignificant amount of cash, even in addition to the many thousands already put into the plant. Placer mining is active on Hall creek in the Lardeau. The Findlay river placers continue to attract a good deal of attention. Leasing of mines in the Rossland district is becoming more and more popular. I The new company taking over the Ymir mine, is said to have ample funds, and will prosecute work vigorously. It is reported that the coal mines at Comox are under contract to furnish the United States War vessels at Bremerton and San Francisco with 100,- 000 tons of coal. In 1907 the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. mined 981,938 tons, as against 213,295 tons in 1906. The company paid its regular to per cent dividend for 1907 amounting to $335,128.98 F. C. Weeks and B. S.

About 80 men are expected to be employed this summer, and the output is hoped to be $800,- 000 worth of mica, for which there is a good market. A strike of good ore has been made upon the Flint mine, in the Kaslo' Slocan district, where work has been proceeding all winter. An ore body J has been uncovered at the breast of' the tunnel carrying four feet of milling ore and a foot of clean galena fit for direct shipment. The St. Eugene is shipping 325 tons of Silver-lead ore to Trail each week, besides that concentrated. There was recently opened up a body of ore 40 ft. wide and 300 ft. long on the 2,000 level. This is an important strike, and goes to prove the continuation of the St. Eugene Lode. The work recently done on the Wheal Tamar, the discovery of a large ore body on Jacko Creek adjacent to the Cyclone group, and the results obtained on several other properties further encourage the idea that the future prospects of Kamloops camp are of the brightest. A mining expert states that the Jed- way Camp, on Queen Charlotte Islands, is a phenomenal one, such wealth of mineral only being found once every twenty years. When properly opened the camp will be as extensive and have as great a producing outfit as either Cobalt or Goldfield, Nevada "Can I pass over your line?" <\\0 replied the railroad man, "law's tool strict.

There is no shortage of coke these days at either of the three Boundary smelters.

Would do away With Method of Measurement. A resident in Victoria recently ptni to a friend in the intei.ior of the pro. vince, who is deeply .interested in the irrigation question, a copy of the report of the . irrigation'.; cointiiihsion issued a short time apo by the provincial government; ������In .'..acknowledging receipt of the report the recipient wrote: "Truly, this is a'Valuable docu- mentj.and the government are deserving of much' commendation for having secured the services of one eminently capable of probing so deeply this very important question, the irrigation of the arid lands of the province. Not all the intricate phases of this question are placed before us in this report, but enough are offered, to show how essential it is that/the near, future should witness a measure of .legislation dealing with, this matter.',, It would be well, however, to make haste slowly, for no question ever presented to the people of the province contains greater potentialities.' By the way, there is one recommendation in the said report which should be acted upon at once; that is that the designation in cubic feet per second of a flow of water contained in, or represented by, a certain number of miner's inches. In regard to this it is pointed out by a local mining authority that the provincial mineralogist in the annual report of the minister of mines for 1905, (p. 48) stated; "In British Columbia a miner's inch of water is by statute not a quantity of water, but a flow of water equal to 1.68 cubic feet per hour." There is, though, it is stated in an other act, a definition which differs from this. Both the provincial miner alogist and (J. E. Mohun, C. E., have before now urged the provincial government to do away entirely with "miner's inch" in connection with legislative enactments. It is possible this question will be dealt with when the provincial legislature shall again be in session. "Westward Hoi" For April.

The vaudeville show from Spokane and Colville, booked to appear here last week and weekly for some time, failed to put in its appearance. The Phoenix-Greenwood stage has been running half way to Greenwood this week on runners, then changing to wheels. It will be entirsly on wheels shortly. A Methodist parlor social was held j last evening at the home of Mrs. A. F. Geddes, in the Morrin Thompson block and a pleasant time was had by the large number present. This evening the local Scandinavian Aid and Fellowship Society will give a. big dance at their hall, with refreshments, and music by James and Biner, and promise a good time to all who attend. At the Phoenix opera house the following shows are booked for the immediate future: March 30th, Beggar Prince Opera Co., in "Fra Diavolo;" April 4th,"No Mother to Guide Her;" April 9th, "What Woman Will Dc." Fred King and Donald Langley, who were, sentenced to three years last wee< Friday at Greenwood by Judge Brown in the connty court, for burglarizing the William Hunter Co. store here, were taken on Saturday by Constable Ashton to the New Westminster penitentiary. On St. Patrick's Day Phoenix Lodge No. 28, Knights of Pythias, gave its seventh annual ball at Miners' Union hall. The affair was well earned out, and reflected credit on the committee in charge���which was the universal verdict of tbe large number that attended the event.. The same old broken seat is still doing business on the Great Northern passenger train to Phoenix, but the windows of the coach seemed to have gotten rid of at (east one coat of dust and dirt since our last issue. Keeping up the effort will get things in presentable shape after a while. Another entertainment was billed for last night at the opera house by the Boundary moving picture show Greenwood and Midway were visited last week, and Eholt is to be favored Monday New films arrive weekly for the Edison optoscope' used. Percy Pinker operates the machine, while John Appleby arranges for the dates and places. . ���..��� About the second week in April Miss Ida Murcutt, of England, lecturer for the Women's Christian Temprance Union of England and Canada, will be in Phoenix to deliver an address. Miss Murcutt is a splendid speaker, according to reports received here, and has had crowded houses in the coast cities. She will also lecture in Grand Forks and Greenwood. Two small fires occurred this week, but did little damage. The first was on Saturday in a small cottage owned by Mrs. Tom Moore, back of the old Brooklyn bunk house. It was caused by a defective stove pipe, and was quickly put out. Tuesday a fire occurred in the residence of Mrs. Moore, also, on Golden Eagle addition���again caused by a defective flue. The damage was largely to clothes, the flames being put out before the department reached the scene. BEGGAR PRINCE COMIC OPERA CO. Will Appear at Opera House Monday, March 30. The Morning Journal (Edmonton) February 25th, has the following notice of the above company's recent appearance in that city: If the opening performance of the Beggar Prince Opera Company at the opera house last night was not the biggest event claiming the attention of the good people of Edmonton, then the theatre packed with an audience that was representative of every class of citizens belied itself; and if there was anything more entertaining or heartily appreciated than the offering, that ever popular comic opera, Fra Diavolo, so pleasingly rendered by Bob Martin's company of singers and players, then there is another guess coming for the Journal. Edmonton theatre goers and opeia lovers have time and again heard Fra Diavolo sung by other companies, but the "Beggar Prince" company, suffered nothing by comparison with any who have appeared here in comic opera. r SOriE WATCH FACTS u WHEN thinking about buying a Watch Time-Keeping Quality should be your first consideration.

Miss Ethel Balch Miss Ethei Balch, the prima donna of the company, carried off the chief honors in the roll of Zerlina; pretty, captivating was her acting, and charming her singing; altogether she created a most favorable impression. Jay Taylor, in the roll of Fra Diavolo the brigand; shared the musical honors with Miss Balch. A tenor singer of sweetness and power is Mr. Taylor, delighting by his artistic treatment of the musical parrs assigned to him as well as by his dramatic ability. Joe Coombes, in the role of Lorenzo, the captain of the guard, who sings as an accomplished artist, will also prove a favorite during the week's engagement, his work at the initial performance being very taking. Miss Vivian Forest has been heralded as the delightful comedienne of the company. There was little occasion for Miss Forest to appear at her best in last night's performance, but the touches she gave to the character of Lady~AIIcash were sufficient1 to indicate how great is her success when the opportunity offers. Fred Godding gave a very good portrayal of the English lord, while George Murray and Robert Taylor as Diavolo's banditti were the gay mirth provoking comedians of the play. Miss Lelia Thome as Mother Matteo, and all the other members of the cast played their parts with success. A well balanced company, one can say, capable of affording much pleasurable entertainment during the week."

Title | The Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal |
Alternate Title | [The Phoenix Pioneer] |
Publisher | Phoenix, B.C. : Pioneer Publishing Co. |
Date Issued | 1908-03-21 |
Description | Devoted to the interests of the Boundary Mining District. The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916. The paper was published under a variant title, the Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal, both from 1903-1910 and from 1911-1912. |
