That the affairs of the Montreal &
Boston Consolidated are getting into
better shape at the Eastern end is indicated from reports that come from
New York and Boslon, it being che
apparent intention to practically reorganize the company and provide a
large working fund, which will be used
for development and improvemenls on
an extensive scale. There has never
been any question that the properties
of the company have been operated at
a good profit to the company, and they
will now be placed in a position where
they can operate on a more extensive
scale. \   -
After the election of Ex-Senator
Warner Miller,< of New York, as president of the company, the following appeared in a Boston financi.il paper:
"We stated last week that the Mont-
real & Boston Co. would be reorganized and that the first move in this di
rection was the election of Senator
Warner Miller as president. This report was declared 111 New York to be
premature, but as a matter of-fact, Mr.
Miller was elected president of the
company last Tuesday, and strong financial interests will now seek to place
ihe company upon its feet.
^'Guggenheimer, Untemeyer and
Marshall, representing the creditors of
Munroe &.Munroe, who have.300,000
shares of Montreal & Boston stock,
and Hornblotver, Potter, Miller and
Byrne, represenimg the old underwriting syndicate, which has 303,000
shares of the stock, are practically running the company today. Mr. Untemeyer surrendered his option on the
above stock, but is taking a hand in
the reorganization of the company.
"The property is in successful operation. At its smelter in British Co-
umbia, two furnaces are running, treating about 4,000 tons of ore per week,
and outputting about 500,000 lbs. of
copper per month and earning between
$20,000 and $25,000 net per month."
To Have $500,000 Working Fund.
From New York comes the following regarding the 'organization, 1 which
was published there: ,''"'■■-
■ ^Samuel Untermeyer, when asked as
to the reports concerning the control
and operatian of the Montreal & Boston Consolidated properties, declined
to be interviewed on the subject further than to say that he understood
ex-Senator Warner Miller, who is a
large shareholder, is interesting himself in the business and has been elected president of the company, with a
view to its reorganization. Neither
Mr. Untemeyer nor- his firm has any
interest whatever in the property except as,counsel for the creditors, for
whom they secured 300,000 shares of
the stock which is now held in trust.
"Ex-Senator Miller, and his assdii-
ates, whom he.is interesting with him
in the Montreal & Boston Company,
are considering a plan which will supply the company with about $500,000
of additional capital. Part of this sum
is to be used to pay for the Dominion
property and the balance of the development work. No plan seems as yet
to have been agreed upon and it is
positively stated that none will be approved which does not meet the views
of the stockholders and provide for
their protection."
Enlargement of Smelter.
Manager Pemberton is credited with
giving out the following positive  statement 'last Saturday regarding enlargements and improvements:
"It has been definitely decided to
erect the furnace at present on the
ground and another which has been
purchased. This will give the Boundary Falls smelter a capacity of from
twelve to fifteen hundred tons a day.
The company has also decided to erect
a converter plant sufficiently large to
convert all their own matte into blister
copper. At present all the matte is
shipped to the B. C. Copper Company's smelter and there converted.
"Extensive  developments will   be I

Cblseie Trouble At Salmo.
, This week the Salmo river, valley,
on the railway between Northport and
Nelson, had no' little excitement oyer
the importation of Chinese arid Japs to
the number of 30, to take the places of
white workmen, with whom Manager
Archibald,  of the Kootenay Shingle
Co.,   had   had   trduble.    When   the
Orientals were first brought in  several
hundred   men   were at    the railway
station, and did not'' permit them  to
to go the company's burikhouse. Then
Manager Archibald Invoked the aid of
the provincial authorities',   wh'en Chief
Bullock-Webster,, of Nelson, with half
a dozen constables, escorted the Chinese .and Japs. to. the  shingle _ mill.
Officers Dinsmore, of Grand' Forks,
and Darraugh., of,Eholt, were with the
chief.    No serious trouble was had at
the time, but there^fs intense feeling at
Salmo and Ymir over the mattei.and
further "developments in the "situation
are looked for.

Yesterday the Pioneer received well
authenticated news—though not yet
confirmed from official sources—that a
contract has been awarded for the
construction of the V., V.' & E. extension of the Great Northern railway
for a distance of 100 miles west of
here. It is understood that the contract was signed two days ago, and it is
certain, that preparations for the beginning of construction are now well
under ,vvay.   .   . ~.
The same information is to the
effect .that-J. .W. Stewart secured this
contract—as he did on the extension
to Phoenix last year—and that Pat
rick Welch-will have immediate charge
of the work. ■ Mr. Welch is expected
to, arrive here today or tomorrow, and
will at once proceed west over the surveyed- liner His' brother, Martin
Welch, arrived here on Thursday, as
well as some'of his confidential staff.
One hundred miles of line would
bring .the railway near Nighthawk,

building up to Greenwood from Midway to a connection at Summit camp
with the Phoenix branch, according to
the survey; is riot yet "given out. The
road bed from Curlew to Midway ' has
been ready for the rails since last fall,
and putting down' the steel will doubtless be one of the first things' on 'the
programme.

The Boston Commercial asserts that
the Granby Co. is now earning *at the
rate of 90 cents per annum each on the

Tom Hardy, J. F. Cunningham, M.
McMynn and W. G. McMynn have
applied for 25 inches of water from
Loon lake, Summit camp, for use, if
needed, in mining operations on the
Brey Fogle and Saloon fraction claims
in that camp.
This week another important deal
was put through in this camp, by which
the Granby Co. purchases a group of
four claims   adjoining   the   Monarch
group purchased a short time since.
The claims just secured are the Bank
of England, owned by Messrs. Gaunce
& Wickwire, McMahon, Foster and
Robert Wood and associates; the Black
Bear, owned by John Mulligan and
Chas. H. Brown; Black Bear fraction,
owned by Henry Morgan and Sydney
M. Johnson; and the Toboggan, owned
by S. M. Johnson, Henry Morgan, Jno.
Newby and J. J. Bassett.   The purchase price was about $16,000, and
practically cash.
The Bank of England is the most
valuable claim of the group, adjoining
both the Rawhide and Monarch, the
Rawhide being operated by the Montreal & Boston Consolidated, and having
had an output of more than 20,000
tons of ore this year. This makes the
Granby extend to Hartford Junction,
two miles from Phoenix, the Hartford
hotel being located on the Toboggan
claim.
FIRE AX THE
GRANBY BUNK HOUSE
Narrow Escape of the Large
Main Building.
About -3:30 Wednesday morning,
Walter S.Cbok looked'across the valley
from' the Brooklyn mine and saw
flames shooting out of thereof of the
dry house of the Granby bunk house,
and soon the Brooklyn whistie was
tooting out' the alarm. About the
same time Night Watchman Dock-
steader saw the flames also, and the
deep tones of the Granby compressor
whistle were reverbratingup and down
the valley with almost noise enough to
awaken the ' dead, especially when
joined by the whistle* at the Old Iron
sides mine—now rarely used.
The volunteer fire department was
soon on the scene -and had several
streams on the burning building, the
fire being confined to the upper story.
In a short time the • flames were subdued, the loss being perhaps between
one and two thousand dollars. Had
there been any wind at.Vall, the big
Granby burikhouse, only a few feet
away and connected with the burning
building, would have caught, and that
$30,000 structure would doubtless
have gone up in smoke. As it was,
hard work on the part of the volunteer
firemen, and the fact of the building
being none too dry from having steam
there all the time, saved the day and
the happy home of some 200 miners.
How the fire caught is a mystery as
yet. It may have been from a lighted
candle left there, or a pipe left in some
one's coat, or from defective electric
light wires. W.S.Macy, the proprietor,
could not account for the fire. The
building is used as a wash and dry
room for the miners, and has two
stories, with steam heating and electric
lighting. The loss was covered by insurance.
The Greenwood Times states thit
last week the Helen mine was bought
and paid for by Chicago capitalists,
represented by Alex Miller, on a basis
of $50,000, and that the new owners
have ample funds for active work,
which will be vigorously prosecuted.
This week ore shipments were started from the Winnipeg mine to the
Granby smelter, the Granby Co. having an agreement for a bond on the
property. It is about 18 months since
the last ore was sent out from this
property. About a dozen men are
employed there under Foreman
Rogers. . .   l
Word was received this week by the
the Phoenix and Grand Forks men
interested in a mica claim in Cariboo,
that a company had been formed by
outside capital to take up and operate
the properly. The company is being
floated in Seattle. W. S. Macy, L. Y.
Birnie,   Dr.    R.   B. Boucher, Martin
Fell 1M Peet and Live*.
Chas. Hedberg, who has been employed a couple of years at the Granby
mines, and knows every slope, drift,
chute and hole in it, had a a narrow
escape on Thursday in the Old Ironsides. He stepped into a chute or incline, and after falling a sheer 30 feet,
went down another seventy feet, from
the 200 to the 300 foot level. He
was taken to the hospital, and was
found to have some severe bruises, as
well as a collar bone broken. He is
already out of the hospital again.
Socialism Rejected by RoBsland Miners.
Rossland, April 13.—The result of
the referendum which was in progress
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
in Miner's Union hall, and at which
every available member of Rossland
Miners'Union voted, was announced
by secretary Scott today.
The resolution that provided that
the local union should take an independent political stand was. carried by
a majority of ten to one. The resolution endorsing tha principle and platform of the socialist party of Canada
was defeated by a vote of twelve to one.
Secretary Scott said in reference to the
first resolution that it meant the union
could support municipal, provincial or
dominion candidates as it desired, provided it is thought to be to the best interests of .he working classes to do so.

Certainly there is  no remedy half so' prompt for colds  and catarrh as Catarrhozone. Refuse  a substitute and, insist on having only  Catarrhozone.

I'or we've copper ore by acres,  But no room here for the fakirs,  As we're busy "making good" by hook or crook.,  So we'll tell our little story,*  Kven though there's naught of glory,  In this old, prosaic searching for the "stuff."  We are setting an example.  That the world can see is ample, , ,  To show that we have diamonds in the rough.  In the nineties of the first part  Our prospectors made a good start,  And they found some gold and silver in our hills'.  Hut without some transportation,  And but little information  They could hardly pay their grub and powder bjlls.  So the Boundary had a rest,  Vo: a few years at the best,  Till the iron horse should hither wend its way.  Then it took a. sudden leap  To a place that it could keep,  And has kept it, safe and sound, until this day.  When our copper lodes were found    '  By the' delvers in the ground,  It was learned that they were very low in grade.   .  Yet the ledges were immense,  So,"with coin and much hard sense,  Costs were gotten where some money could be made.  Five or ten years thus were spent,  While some millions also went  Just to prove that Boundary's mining zones would pay;  And today three thousand tons  '' .,���     Is the average of the runs  Taken out by two great railways every day.  'Which are these mines, you ask,  ���,' That are worthy of this task?  The answer is now known from sea to sea.  ;-;. First of all's the giant Granby.  , And there's naught that's namby-pamby  In the daily tale of tonnage all can see.  Then comes the Mother Lode,  Which is on the same high road,  .With a goodly dozen others great and small. '  Then the Brooklyn and Riwhide    Are looked upon with pride,       ���, ' ,'  And many that are far from least of all.  There's one thing we'd like to say.' .  If it ever comes your way,  Do not fail to take a look at Boundary mines,  In the future they'll be famous,  And none but an ignoramus  Will wish to be in darkness on these lines. t  ;   Take advantage of the chance, >     i  Don't look at them askance,  But see them when you can on every hand.   ...

It is true that many contract colds  and recover from them without taking  any precaution or treatment, and a  knowledge of this fact leads others to  take.their chances instead of .giving  their colds the needed attention. ��� It  should be borne in mind that every  cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality, makes the system less able to  withstand each succeeding cold and  paves the way for more serious disease.

STANTON  ON COPPER  *v  Stronger arid Healthier than in  Years;  ���'. ��� \  All Mine? Weired by  Full  Btoken Sleep���Tired Next Moraine.  Sleep not only rests but builds up  the body. Cut down the hours of  sleep, and you cut down health in the  same proportion, Rebuilding then  ceases, nerves go to smash, you grow  tired, weak and wretched.  To restore sleep you must get more  bodily strength, more nutritious blood,  healthier nerves. Ferrozone solv\s the  whole problem, makes you sleep  soundly, gives endurance, vim, ambition. No more morning weakness���  instead the fire of youth will run in  your veins, supplying abundance of  energy and vigor. Witchery expresses  the instant effect of Ferrozone; try it.  John Stanton; of New York, who is  a director of the Granby Co. and is  largely interested also 'in Michigan  copper mines was recently asked to  state his views regarding the outlook  for the copper industry. Here is what  the "Father of the copper industry" is  reported to have said: ���  .    .              - "Copper conditions are stronger and  Address, ISlevv Bros. & Co., Dept. A,!hejlthier than they have been in years.  Monon Bldg., Chicago, III. T,       .         ,            ,     ���   .   .         ,  0 I here is an absence of speculation and  buying for the purpose of advancing  prices. The export as well as the domestic demand for the metal is good.  Exports for this month will be heavy  and I should not be surprised if they  reach 20,000 tons. China is taking  large quantities of copper, presumably  for coinage purposes. A large portion  of the 40,000 tons taken by China recently has not been shipped. Shipments to the Far East extend over a  long period, due largely to the fact  that stocks on hand amount to practically nothing. In otherwords we have  to make the copper before we can  ship it. ���    .-���  "While I always seek to get the  market price for my copper, I would  not like to see quotations advanced.  Under conditions as they exist today  there is always a possibility of sharp  advances, but prices at present are satisfactory to the consumer as well as  the producer.  "The copper mines of the country  are being worked for all they can produce, which is natural in view of the  heavy demand which exists for the  metal. The production of copper this  year will show an increase in the  United States and probably in other  countries, as conditions are healthful  all over the world.  "The steel industry is a good barometer of copiper conditions. The demand for railroad supplies, nevy buildings, etc., is always followed by a good  demand for copper.  New Era In Trans-Pacific Transportation.  The Great Northern Steamship  Company in placing in service between  Seattle, Wash., and Yokohdma, Naga  saki, Kobe, Shanghai and Hong Kong,  the magnificent American built steamships the "Minnesota" and the  "Dakota," marks a new era in transportation facilities between the United  States and the Orient. These magnificent steamships with their- superior  facilities in handling immense freight  cargoes, and the luxurious appointments for passenger travel, hav e given  an impetus to our oriental trade.  The North Pacific route to the  Orient is rapidiy becoming the popular  one and now that the two palatial  steamships, "Minnesota" and"Dakota,"  have been put in commission, there is  no question but that a further greater  increase in our trade with the Orient,  as well as increased passenger travel to  Asiatic ports, will he innuguarated.  The first sailing of the "Minnesota,"  in addition to carrying the largest cargo  to the Orient ever carried by any ship  in the world, as well as an extensive  passenger list, augurs well for the  future. The "Minnesota" will sail on  its next voyage to the Orient on Saturday, April 29th.  Farmers, Mechanics, Sportsman!

Albert  Toilet Seap Co. jffra  JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT  Was Alarmingly Afflicted With La Grippe,  Cured by Pe-ru-na.  The Grip is Properly Termed  Epidemic Catarrh.  As Pe-ru-na Cures Every Form  of Catarrh, It Has Relieved  More Cases of Grip Than  All Other Remedies  Combined.   .  The fear of Grip Make* People  Kervoni.  There is no remedy in tho world that  meets the conditions produced by the  grip better than Peruna.  Peruna strengthens as it renovates,  soothes while It stimulates, heals as it  expurgates.  Peruna is not a purgative, or cathartic  or sedative, or stimulant, nor a vegetable or mineral poison.  It reaches the source of all diseases of  the mucous membranes by its action on  the vaao-motor system of nerves.  After-Effects of the Grip.  Every person who has had la grippe  during the last year should take a course  of Peruna. No one need oxpect perfect  recovery unless they do so.  The grip has produced catarrhal inflammation of the whole mucous membrane, and good health is impossible  until these are restored to a normal condition.  This Poruna will do.  A great many remedies have been  suggested for this condition from time to  time, but Peruna is the only remedy  that has any substantial value in these  cases.  It has never failed to give satisfaction  W. H. Parsons ia Ex-State Senator and Ex-Spooi*l Judge of the Supreme  Court of Texas, and was alio^Brigadier-General In Confederate Army. In  a recent letter from 925 H street, N. W.,Washington, D. C, this prominent  gentleman says: <:��"?.������;��� ���']���-. j:'..  "Upoa the recommendation ot'persobMl Meads sad mmay strong testimonials as to the efficacy of Peruna In the treatment of the numerous  symptoms of the grippe with which I have been afflicted for four months  past, I have been Induced to undergo a treatment with this Justly celebrated formula, I feel a decided change for the better after using It only  one week.  "It Is especially good la toning up the stomach and has had a decided  effect upon my appetite. I therefore feel much1 encouraged that I am on  the road to complete restoration.  "My numerous friends in Texas, where I have had the honor to command  a brigade of her Veteran Cavalry In a four years', war, may accept this voluntary testimonial to the merits of Peruna as a sense of obligation on my  part for Its wonderful efficacy."���W.H. Parsons.  during forty years' experience and still  occupies the unique position of being  the leading (if not the only) specific  remedy for the after-effects of la grippe.  Ho Time Like the Present  If you are suffering from the aftereffects, of la grippe���If you have become discouraged in your attempts to  cure yourself with other ..treatments,  take a bottle of Peruna now.  A bottle of Peruna taken during the  beginning of the disease is worth more  I than a dozen bottles after tho trouble  has become deep-seated.  : Miss Eugenie Lafortuno of 110 Berrie  street, Montreal, Can., writes:  : "Peruna cured me of a severe case of  la grippe when nothing else had any  effect oh me. Five bottles did the work  and they were worth hundreds of dollars for the comfort and health restored  to mo. I therefore feel that tho least I  can do is to gratefully acknowledge it*  merits."���Eugenie Lafortune.

When you buy a cout>h medicine for  small children you want one in which  you can palce implicit confidence.  You want one that not only relieves  but cures. You want one that is unquestionably harmless. You want one  that is pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets all these  conditions. There is nothing so good  for the coughs and colds incident to  childhood. It is also a certain preventative and cure for croup, and there  is no danger whatever from whooping  cough when it is given. It has been  used in many epidemics of that disease  with perfect success. For sale by all  druggists.  MINERAL ACT.  Certificate of Improvements.  NOTICE.
