He'says that there will be an easy water route, via Atlin, by which the creeks tan be reached as soon , as the ice goes. Other people who are acquainted with the district confirm this report. v Howard Porter, who is well known around Stewart as an ..experienced prospector, has come out from Silver Creek and is on his way to Altin to record his, claims and to obtain supplies. He has also hired Indians from Telegraph creek to haul in 400-.pounds of supplies for immediate purposes at 25 cents per pound. He says that he has sunk a hole on his claim, but that now there is ten feet of water in the workings and this has obstructed development. He has found a few good colors and altogether he says, the district' has given him a favorable impression as being a splendid one for placer mining. Ore-samples tested by ^competent analyists at the assaying laboratory of the University of Alberta in Edmonton prove that the mineral wealth of the province has as yet only been vaguely surmised.

More Trip Through' Mining Districts ,%M. Grbich, organizing sec. for District No. .6 of the W. F. pf M. returned to town this week from a tour of his jurisdiction. In a chat with a Pioneer represeptative on the prospect for mining this season, he appeared to be extremely* sanguine, and outside of the big camps conditions seem to be improving. At Moyie in East Kootenay, he found {things considerably improved. ���Two diamond drills being at work on "the St. Eugene, which has been dormant for years, while thirty five men were engaged on a scheme of development which gives excellent promise of useful results. North- port was also included in his tour, and while there he had an opportunity of visiting the Star mine, which he and others consider possesses one of the truest copper gold ledges in the whole of that district. The Paulson Inland Mining Co., situated at .Paulson, Mr. Grbich says, are expecting big things this summer. The property at present employs a*bout twenty five" men, and already possesses an Efficient ten stamp compressor, which is to be immediately increased to. a fifty stamp capacity. In addition to other inprovements, including a more effective hoist, the mine is to be supplied with a 25 drill compressor.

Carson Inspects Operations ���Kettle Valley Railroad to "Run in Two Weeks., ���f V" (. 1 X Sad Mining Accident R. Draca, an Austrian miner, employed in the Granby mine, sustained fearful injuries in an accident on Wednesday morning, when an explosion of dynamite inflicted injuries that possibly may result in a total loss of sight. An authentic report of the circumstances leading to the accident is to the effect that Draca was engaged in a drift, wprk- ing a Murphy drill and while clearing away the ground in preparation "Excellent progress is being made" on the Duncan mine, near Beaver- dell and the future prospect for that property are highly encouraging," says N. J.. Carson, secretary of Phoenix Mining, Smelting and Development Co., which owns the property. Mr. Carson returned to town on Friday from a visit of a few days to the group which consists of three claims. Throughout the winter the company have had from four to six men employed iu both developing and sacking ore. There is about one carload of fine ore on the dump, while the company has another two carloads at the railroad siding awaiting shipment. The principal shaft is down about 100 feet following the lead almost from grass roots, and the present scheme of development consists of a tunnel which it is intended to tap the vein some twenty feet lower than the shaft has yet reached. The ore is a high-grade silver-lead product and the lead has a di-" mension of 18 inches. Mr. Carson said that there is very little snow in the valleys and the logging camps are breaking up. The river is unusually low at present. It is expected that the Kettle Valley Railroad company will take over the road from the contractors inside of two weeks, news haying for setting up his drill, his pick either came in contact with some been received to the effect that the stray powder or struck a "missed 1 Railroad Commissioners,had passed hole.'i.- He ,was.aloae,��atIthe!|ti��lB^f Uawmatgy onjhe. undertaking. - -^ ,''-.-<-. ��� .... . ����� ".

Some weeks ago Mr. White secured from a Nelson assayer a certificate giving a slightly higher value in platinum from this ore and he regards the result of the test at Sandon, which-was carried out under his direction, as confirmation of the presence of the metal in the Crowford Bay rock. Speaking of the difficulties met with in assaying for platinum, Mr. White, who has become a believer in the existence of platinum in ores in this section of Kootenay, mentioned that one well known Slocan assayer who has been carrying on experiments in testing ore for the platinum metals, placed a piece of platinum metal. in some pulp and on the first assay secured no results.'. The metal, said Mr. White, remained in the slag. On the second trial it "came down" and gave the results. The Crawford Bay ore formation, said Mr. White, is similar in many respects to that of the nickle fields at Sudbury, Ont., the rock carrying a percentage of nickle. He regards it as significant that considerable quantities of platinum are known to be contained in the nickle matte shipped to United States refineries from Sudbury. He added that he had in his possession a federal government publication which showed that considerable quantities of nickle were present in the ores of the Queen Victoria mine near Nelson, which is now being operat- about 8 miles from Rossland, some of which, Mr. Grbich learned, were to receive immediate attention. Coming nearer home, our infor- jrnant stated that the Fife lime quarry wasjvorking full blast, the whole of the product going to the Trail smelter. Rumors were also rife around Fife to the effect that Fife Mining company, a Spokane outfit, were shortly to re-commence operations. Hockey and Curling: Trophies The display of silver plate on view in the window of Ed. Black's jewellery store testifies more eloquently than words to the brilliant play of the Phoenix hockey teams. In all there are four splendid pieces of silverware displayed. First in order of importance is the McBride cup, emblematic of the interior hockey championship and the most recent of the trophies offered for competition in British Columbia. But in point of size and beauty that offered by the Nelson Daily News, easily is the most conspicuous among the captured emblems. The Boundary trophy seems hardly worth mentioning by reason of the fact that it has now seemingly become a fixed exhibit in this camp. Not the least important of the four, however, is the cup presented by Dr. Stone, J. E. Thompson and Ernest Miller, M.P.P. for competition among the intermediate Boundary teams. But while the hockey teams have been busy gathering in silverware, the curling club were by no means idle, both the Smith and Burns trophies bearing testi- DID YOU EVER NOTICE how much better you feel, how much more confidence you have in yourself when you're well dressed ?

C, March 20,��� An important conference upon the matter of forest protection along the lines of operating railways in the West has just closed at Winnipeg, the British Columbia Departmrnt s of Forestry having beeu represented thereat by Mr. R, H. Benedict of the headquaters staff and the parties to the conve- tion being the federal Board of Railway Commissioners, the province of British Columbia, and the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Pacific, Canadian Northern and Great Northern railway companies. General protection to'timber along the right-of-way was of cource the theme of the discussion. The patrol system inaugurated by this province last year was reported to have proven generally satisfactory, and will be continued this season, with slight variations where large bodies of timber justify more thorough patrol. Last year every mile of right-of-way. was inspected by the provincial officials and the regulations strictly enforced to guarantee the safety of near forests and due payment of royalty for timber cut on crown lands. The work of inspection is, peculiarly onerous in connection with construction operations, and on the whole the provincial officers have been well supported by the railway companies. The rule has been laid down that everything cut without permit is considered: to constitute a trespass^ and where timber is cut with or without permit, the brush must be properly disposed of without delay. The system of handling this inspection work on all lines under provincial , jurisdiction and control is to have it preformed Ly the provincial officials and the cost collected from the " railway companies. ^ In the case of the Grand Trunk Pacific (a Dominion controlled undertaking) the company has been paying one-half of the fire protection costs, and this arrangement the company's representatives stated at the Winnipeg gathering they ^ are willing and anxious to continue. 6RBHM BAKING POWDER You will find it a great satisfaction to do More Home Baking You will make biscuit, cake and pastry clean, fresh and tasty���better every way than the ready made foods.

Loss Through Strikes Over a million days' labor was lost in Canada last year owing to strikes, according to the Dominion .Labor report. This is only about half the loss that occurred in 1911. The total number of employees who went out on strike was 40,500. There were few important strikes affecting public utilities and thus coming under the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act. Nineteen were referred to arbitration underi the^-Act, and all but three were settled. Filipino Leader to Visit Canada Emilio Aguinaldo, the former leader of the Filipino insurgents, expects soon to visit ^Canada in order to study the working connection between the Dominion and Great Britain. He believes that a similar connection between the Philippines and the United States might be the solution of the Philippines problem. The revenue of Japan for the past year shows a total of $292,- 000,000. N British Immigration Insufficient After many year*, of conservatism in immigration, as far as all immigrants, other than those speaking the British language are concerned, the Australian authorities havf*1 decided to appeal to Denmark for immigrants. Hitherto practically all immigration came . from the British Isles, Canada or the United States. The Australian government, however, feels that a wider field should be sought out, and are seemingly convinced of the necessity of drawing supplier ot settlers from other countries besides Great Britain, Referring to Lieut.

Reilly, of San Francisco, from entering Canada* Reilly was coming north to fight Joe Bailey, lightweight champion of Canada, at Steveston on -March 29. He was booked to Victoria but' the immigration officials refused to let him disembark. Prizefighters, or anyone who engaged in performances of an uninstructive nature, are classed as undesirables and therefore are not permitted to land in Canada. Prizefighters vwho bring down big purses for their fights will no doubt be somewhat put out on learning that they are undesirables. Reilly was not the only one who could not disembark from the Umatilla. His'trainers and the moving picture man, who was to record the fight on tbe film, were also refused admission to Canada, being classed as undesirables. A number of frequenters of the Barbary Coast, which was closed down at San Francisco a short time ago, were also unable to land at that port. They went onto Seattle. Reilly and his party, if they desire to come to Canada, will have to obtain special permission from the superintendent of immigration at Ottawa.

Low Wages For Girls A witness who has ''not been called hefore any minimum wage commissipn to give her testimony, but who knows, perhaps more about the wages a young girl should have to enable her to live a respectable life, spoke her opinion in Portland, recently, in the course of a lecture. The party in question was Evangeline Booth ofthe Salvation Army. "I think," she said, "I know, in fact? that in New York city, where I make my headquarters, a working girl cannot live-���barely live, mind you���without being harassed to death, without being subject to the worse temptations, on less than $9 or $10 per week. It cannot be done. "That is in New York, but I do not believe a girl can live for any less in other cities." Miss Booth answered with scorn the statements of wealthy Chicago manufacturers that the amount of a girl's wages made no difference as to whether she went wrong. "Oh, it makes all the difference in the world," she exclaimed. "It makes such a difference that I know ���I know personally from the result of the investigations the Salvation Army has made in New York during the course of its work���that hundreds of working girls are advised to go wrong when in employment. "Why, a girl will be told that she cannot live on the wages she will get, and that she bad better get a 'friend' like the other girls. No secret is made about it. " And yet .they say ~\t -makes no what wages a girl is paid ' "Not many girls go wrong for sheer want of bread, perhaps, Commander Booth continued. "It isn't the need of present starvation that drives them to vice. But it is Canada's Revenue Still Rising The ever increasing volume of customs receipts which has been such a feature of the administration of the department by the Hon. J. D. Reid is shown in the returns for the eleven months of the present fiscal year. The revenue for that period was $103,485,000, compared' with $77,716,000 for- the corresponding eleven months of the last fiscal year. This shows an increase of $25,769,000, or in other words-, the increase for the eleven months of this fiscal year is greater than the entire customs revenue for 1898-99, which was $25,734,000. In order that the bounding revenue from customs alone may be appreciated, the following statement shows the collections for the first three years of the Liberal administration. The first year of the Laurier regime showed a customs revenue of $19,891,000. For the year 1897-98 the revenue was $22,- 157,000 and only in 1900 did it reach $28,000,000 or slightly over the increase for the eleven months of the past year. The revenue for the ��� month of February was $9,156,000, and for the corresponding month last year $7,447,000, being an increase of $1,707,000.

During the debate on the naval contribution, or rather gift, a certain Geo. W. Kyte allowed his patriotic ardour to soar to such heights as to suggest that Canada should remain neutral in the event of Great Britain being engaged in' a European war. According'*to this it would seem as if our old loyal friend, Sir Wilfrid was losing control over some of his followers. Sir Wilfrid has never quite gone so far as Mr. Kyte, but he certainly attached a tough string to his own naval proposals when he inserted the ��� condition that the sanction of the Parliament of Canada should be necessary before the ships ofthe Dominion lined up for battle alongside of those of Britain. We repeat, it would be a tough string, especially if the Opposition resorted to the undignified tactics that have attended the present naval discussion. Mr. Kyte, (we never heard of him before) also points out the unprotected state of Canada if the three Dominion dreadnaughts are stationed in the North sea. But the hon. gentleman will surely admit that the wisest policy is to fight a battle as far removed from home as possible and where could a better spot be found than in the North sea, for even if the Imperial fleet with its Canadian units were defeated, does Mr. Kyte suppose that the enemy would be the province the time__for landing the speckled beauties is still unchanged, viz. the 15th of May. This division of the trout waters into two zones with differing regulations was instituted several years ago in accordance.with the recommendations of a commission which pursued its investigations during the years 1905, 1906 and '07.

Title | The Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal |
Alternate Title | [The Phoenix Pioneer] |
Publisher | Phoenix, B.C. : Kay and Conway |
Date Issued | 1913-03-22 |
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. |
