Hodges, of the Granby Consolidated, was a visitor in Phoenix early this week for the first time since re turning from spending a month's vacation in camping and fishing at the coast. On that trip, about 125 miles above Vancouver, he succeeded in- taking in a salmon weighing 41 pounds. When seen by the Pioneer representative Tuesday, Mr. Hodges stated that matters at the company's mines and smelter had been progressing satisfac torilly during the summer, though somewhat slowly as far as production is concerned, on account of enlarge ment operations going on at the reduction works, thereby cutting down the amount of ore smelted. Two small furnaces, No. 1 and No. 2, the original furnaces of the plant, have been enlarged and are now in cop- mission, and Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6 are being treated in the same way, Nos. 7 and 8 being of the larger pattern. It will probably be nearly January 1st be fore tbe enlargements are completed. Last month was the smallest for some time with the Gtanby Co. in tonnage treated, being about 60,000 tons, and August will be about the same or a trifle better. After that the tonnage will gradually grow heavier. When enlargements are finished Mr. Hodges expects to treat at least 3000 tons daily on the average, even when allowing lor one furnace out of the battery of eight to be under repairs. The treatment then should run around 100,006 tons each month, or over a million tons annually, easily. The new converter stand at the smelter is already for operation whenever it shall .be needed, and-the roofs of the buildings are now being replaced with steel. The destruction of the Boundary Iron Works last Saturday may delay the enlargements somewhat, though all the patterns of the smelters were saved. A new foundry will be built, and the Granby Co. may build it. ' Rushing Victoria Shall. 1906 MILLS Same Rate as Was Levied - Last Year. . Last Saturday, afternoon the city council met in adjourned session and passed Tax Rate By-Law No. 59, providing for the tax rate for 1996. The total rate decided on was 23 mills, but this week this was,reduced to 2a mills by making the general tax one mill less. The rate was arrived at as follows : General tax, 14 mills; special tax, 4 mills; school, 5 mills; total, 23 mills. Last year the rate was 22 mills. Wednesday's Meellif Wednesday of this week the council met again, those present being Mayor Rumbrgeer and Coiincilmen Brown, Oxley and McKenzie. By-I.aw No. 59 was referred to'Solicitor J. P. Mc- Leod, for an opinion as to its legality, and the couneii decided to make the general tax rate for 1906, 13 mills, instead of .14,' as decided at Saturday's meeting. The city clerk, was instructed to write to the department of Lands and Works, at Victoria,, regarding the surveys "made by. trie government this year for. a .sewerage system here, to ascertain the approximate cost and other data. ir ''.. <���' ��� Aldermen McKenzie, Oxley, and Brown were appointed a committee to look into the mattei' of securing a medical health officer for the city. G. W. Cornish, of Greenwood, appeared before the council, to secure assistance in providing a representative ore exhibit for the, Boundary, for the Nelson and Spokane fairs. The council looked rather favorably on the matter, but postponed action on it for a week till they could;consider it more fully. THE PHOENIX AMALGAMATED Officers Chosen for $5,000,000 Company. Boundary Mining Notes To Operate Group of Mines Here. Last spring the announcement was made that a consolidation of several well known mining claims in this camp would be made, including the War Eagle, Red Rock aud Bald Eagle groups, the new corporation to be called the Phoenix Amalgamated Copper Mines, Ltd. Information has now been received here that the consolidation has been carried into effect and that it takes in the War Eagle, Red Rock, Lulu, Bald Eagle, Dandy frac- Asked as to when he expected the new Victoria shaft at the mines to be in commission, Mr. Hodges hoped to have it ready some time this fall. All of the preparations for'active sinking have now been made, the shaft being down now about 50 feet, and from this on the sinking will be done with three shifts, and no time lost in getting it completed to the 400-foot level, a force of miners now being at work raising from that level. Part of the machinery for the head- works for this shaft has heen on the ground for some time, and the rest will be coming along shortly. Heavy castings lor the giant ore crusher and 250 horse power electric hoist are here now, and the foundations have been prepared, and the necessary buildings are under erection. The railway companies are working out the plan of how both the C. P. R. and Great Northern can be fed from this shaft, according to the original intention of the Granby Co., and this will also be decided on very shortly. For raising the crushed ore to the bins a belt system of conveyors will be used, something like that at the Mother Lode mine. McQUARRIE TO NEW WESTMINSTER Docksleader-Mclnlyre Wedding. Tuesday morning, at the residence ot the bride's parents, on lower Dominion avenue, Esther May Dockstead- er, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Docksteader, was quietly married to Murdock Mclntyre, proprietor of the Palace livery stable. Miss Rhena Summers was the bridesmaid, while John 1 locksteader, of Greenwood, supported the groom. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Samuel Lundie, pastor of St. Andrews Presbyterian church, there being but a few of the immediate friends of the bride and groom present. That afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Mclntyre started on a ten days' drive to Princeton, in tbe Similkameen, expecting to return about September 1st, when they will settle down to housekeeping. They have the best wishes of a large circle of friends. tion. Fielding Unseated, oo<>o.o*>o;fa��g��__j��^.2, o-oo-o-oo-d Halifax, N. S., Aug, tion of the Hon. W.

McQuarne, intending to accompany-him to his old home at"Queens.yille,..Nbva Scotia, where his brothers reside. He had been acting queerly of late, and it was thonght best by his friends that he should be with his relatives, when he might recover. -���-*. On arriving at' Nelson, McQuarrie, who had been tractable enough, tried to commit suicide by jumping into the lake from the steamer Kuskonook, and it took five or six men to hold him, he being finally taken to the provincial jail. Yesterday he was examined by a commission at Nelson, and committed to the hospital for insane at New Westminster, whither Mr. Smith accompanied him last night. McQuarrie has been a resident of Phoenix for some seven years. Several years ago he staked some land in what is now Franklin- camp, and this year spent some time there, looking after his townsite property, just below Gloster City. He brooded ovei this subject for some time, and told his troubles to all of his acquaintances since he returned from Franklin. Recently he soid a lot in Grand Forks to Jeff Davis & Co. He had been living at the Brooklyn hotel for some time, but had been acting queerly, and it was decided to send him east in good care, the above being the result. When he started he thought he was going to New Westminster, though through tickets were secured to Nova Scotia. A brother of his was killed in the cage at the Golden Crown mine some five or six years ago. McQuarrie's friends hope that after a season at the hospital at New Westminster, he will fully recover his faculties. Mineral Exhibit for Neljoe tad Spokane. George W. Cornish, of Greenwood, was a visitor here Wednesday, with the idea of getting up a representative mineral exhibit for the Nelson and Spokane fairs. Mr. Cornish has alio interviewed business and mining men in Grand Forks and Greenwood, with a view to assisting in the project, which is generally commended, and should be put through to a successful issue. Such an exhibit, carefully selected by a man like Mr. Cornish, who is familiar with the several camps of the Boundary, and who will accompany the exhibit to the fair, will doubtless be seen by thousands of people who have never been in the Boundary. It will be of great benefit to this district in the way of making it even better known and in attracting capital this way. Mr. Cornish will be here again next week. Brief, But Important. Last week an earthquake, similar to that in California last spring, visited Valparaiso, Chili, and other parts in that locality, doing damage estimated at $150,000,000 or more, and blotting out some 5,000 lives. During the last week Paul (). Stens- land, the defaulting Chicago banker, has been located 111 half a dozen places in different parts of the world, not excepting Midway, H. C. The ('. P.

The area of the properties is 21:30 acres, and comprises minera' territory that is favorably thought of by many who are familiar with the ground. The Phoenix Amalgamated Copper Mines, Ltd., has been incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, with a capital of $5,000,000, having 500,000 shares of $10 par value each. Of this number 200,000 shares have been placed in the treasury of the company, the executive office of which is at Sherbrooke, Que., and the mine office at Phoenix. The first board of directors of the new company is as follows: F. P. Buck, C. H. Fletcher and C. A. French, of Sherbrooke, Que.; George Vandyke, Boston; H. P. Buck, New- York; W. J. C. Wakefield, Spokane, Wash.; George R. Naden, Greenwood; Charles Riorden, St. Catharines, Ont.; R. Bence Jones, Lisselan, Clonakilty, Ireland. The officers are: President, F. P. Buck; vice-president, C. H. Fletcher; secretary, A. F. Fraser. Properties of the Ceapaiy.___.. The work done so far is largely on the War Eagle, one of the original locations of this camp, which mine has a good machinery plant and mine buildings, used when the uroperty was being operated several' years ago. It has a working shaft 160'feet deep, with considerable drifting at this level. The location of the War Eagle is said to cover the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill veins, and what is supposed to be the Victoria vein, Granby properties. The outcrops on the surface are large, and in appearance identical with the Granby outcrops. The values are low, like others in this camp, yielding from one-half to three per cent in copper, and from $1 to $4 in gold per ton. In the workings of the property, in the raise from the 100-foot east crosscut, some of the best values were encountered, assays giving $21 in copper and $ 1 in gold per ��� ton. Less work has been done on. the Red Rock, Lulu and Bald Eagle than on the War Eagle, but the veins are strong and the claims, together with others of the group, are considered of great potential value, having a continuance of the large veins of the War Eagle, common to this camp. The properties ot the company are well situated for economic mining by the quarrying system, while tunnels and shafts will also be used. Either of the two railways, it is stated, is ready to build spurs to the property, when shipments are ready. F. P. Buck president of the Phoenix Amalgamated, has been interested in this camp for many years. He wai one of the original organizers and president of the Knob Hill Gold Mining Co., one of the companies which were afterwards merged into the present Granby Consolidated, but Mr. Buck disposed of his interests and formed the War Eagle, Red Rock and Bald Eagle companies. For a year or two the War Eagle was operated, about 1900, but since that time has been idle up to the present. The Sherbrooke and other men associated with Mr. Buck are gentlemen of standing and responsibility, and propose to give the properties a thorough test fiom this on. Mr. Buck is expected ��o arrive in the Boundary some time in September, when arrangements are to be made for the starting of active work on the group. Misses Daisy and Marion Hodges came up from Grand Forks Monday with their father, A. B. W. Hodges, This week a twelve-inch stringer of quartz was found in the Meadow Lark, showing free silver. J. L. Martin has been taking up a nuihber of the options on claims, on the east side of tins camp, which options he obtained a few months ago. The Jewel mine, Long Lake camp, whioh is being worked by a syndicate of London capitalists under G. W. Roberts, M. E., has a force of eiqht men employed. Diamond drilling on the Banner group in Franklin camp, under bond to F. A. Heinze, is beginning, another drill st'll being operattd at the McKin- ly mine, where also Supt. McPhee has a force of men on development. R. M. ISarnhart, of Nelson, formerly manager of the Ymir mine, has been appointed agent for the Snowshoe Gold and Copper Mines, Ltd., to look alter the weighing and sampling of Snow- shoe ore at the Trail and other smelters. IDAHO IS ON SHIPPING LIST Now Sending Out Ore Regularly. Company Has $760,000 Treasury. In Last Tuesday the initial shipment of ore from the Dominion Copper Co.'s Idaho mine was sent to the company's smelter at Boundary Falls. It was also the first shipment to go out over the Great Northern and be transferred to the C. P. R. at Denoro, eight miles from Phoenix by either line. The shipment consisted of ten cars, or 600 tons, of ore, and will be followed by A report from Boston states that the Dominion Copper Co. smelted 18,- 441 tons in July, getting 420 tons of matte, which sold for $207.67 per ton, giving .gross earnings of $87,221 for that month. Net for the month was about $20,000. George Cattnach, formerly shift boss at the Granby mines, has started work on the Carmi mine, up the West Fork, with a force of some 15 men, of which E. H. Thruston is manager. The mine is well equipped with stamp mill and other machinery. At the Snowshoe mine a force of about 45 men is now employed, which is being constantly augmented. The water is nearly all out of the workings, and a night shift was started this week. The larger compressor is also being operated now, and shipments of ore coutinue to be sent out to the Trail smelter, nine cars, 300 tons, going out one day this week. Prof. Reginald W. Brock, of the Dominion geological survey, returned from a trip to Franklin camp this week, which he had not visited since 1900. The country having been largely burnt off since his previous trip, he was able to define the geological boundaries more accurately, the result of "his trip being embodied in a report which will be published by the department in due course, and of which he would say little in advance. In about two weeks Manager McAllister, of the Dominion Copper Co., expects to blow in the first of the three new large blast furnaces being installed at the company's Greenwood smelter. The second furnace has arrived and is being installed, the third furnace being en route from the makers. Yesterday the work of raising the ore bins was started, and good progress is being generally made all over the works with the enlargements and improvements. Latest Prices in Metals.

From all parts of the Canadian west and the American west, too, for that matter���comes the cry that the demand for labor far exceeds the avail- aole supply, and that those with en- tensive enterprises on their hands, whether agricultural, railway or what not, are at their wits' end to carry them through. This is one of the evidences of the prosperity that prevails all through the states and provinces of the Pacific slope, and there is ample reason to believe that this prosperity will continue for many years to come, with lands rapidly filling up. In the mining districts, also, there is a constant demand for laborers, with the increase of production and development, consequent upon the excellent figures now obtainable for nearly all the commercial metals. But, while more men could be used in the mines of British Columbia, for instance, as yet this industry is not crippled for lack of labor. This is doubtless because of the good wages paid the mine workers all through this province. The fruit growers, however, complain bitterly because cheap labor cannot be had for picking, and in Nelson they resolved that it would be best to let down the bars to the Chinese, who now find it practically impossible to J enter this province, because of the $500 headtax. This phase of the labor question will doubtless be exploited further and ah attempt made to modify the exclusion law. We do not believe, however, that anything can be done in that line. There may be dire need of labor here, but the experience of other countries with Chinese or coolie labor, with all the degradation that follows in its wake, has been such that it is a foregone conclusion that our legislators will not act on it, even though pressure be brought to bear, as it may be. The apparent benefit from the cheap and underpaid labor of the yellow people is offset many times over by the disease-breeding conditions which invariably prevail wherever they locate��� conditions a description of which would not look well in print. Following the typhoid fever epidemic of last winter in Phoenix, which resulted fatally in five or six cases, the city council took up the question with the government of some sort of a sewerage system for this city. The health department at Victoria sent an engineer to look over the ground, and later surveys were made to secure data on which to act at the proper time. The members of the city council, realizing the need of a better system of sanitation than now exists, have been looking into the matter and endeavoring to learn whether sufficient water could be secured to flush sewers, if such were built. This is yet to be determined, but whether the water can be had from the usual source of supply or not, something must be done in the matter, and that with as little delay as possible. It is the idea that some large septic tanks, located at a proper point, below j the city, would serve the purpose for taking care of the sewage of Phoenix, but right here comes the question of finances. A simple sewer, it is estimated, will cost from $15,000 to $25,000, and of course it cannot be done without issuing debentures and incurring that much indebtedness. Those who favor this plan point out that, if connection with sewers was charged for at a reasonable rate, it would afford an income that would amply take care of the interest on the debentures and provide for the sinking fund without trouble. This is a matter of the greatest importance to everyone living in Phoenix, and residents generally should support the council in the effort to_ permanently better the sanitary conditions as they now exist. No more epidemics are desired. W. V, Remarkable Gains Years.

Williams of Spokane, who has spent several days in sampling the property, concluded his examination and left for British Columbia. Mr. Graves represents, it is said, the Granby people, and his trip here was to.determine whether the ore can be successfully treated by the smelting process. The owners of the Alder recently paid to Ansel B. Howe and T. H. Cuthbertson $10,000 each. They were the original locators of the property. It is claimed $1,750,000 worth of ore is in sight at the mine and the present owners are holding the property at a million and a quarter.
