What was by all odds the most destructive railway wreck in the his'.ory of ore hauling from the mines of Phoenix or in the Boundary, occured last Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, on the Phoenix branch of the C. P. R. and while fortunately no li\es were lost, the loss to the C.P.R. cannot fail to be near $50,000, as 24 loaded ore cars were reduced into kindling wood in a few minutes and one of the fine Shay engines, used exclusively in ore hauling, was badly wrecked also. - It appears thai a full train of 25 ore cars, with a caboose and Shay engine No. 1901, were going down the steep grade from Hartford Junction to Eholt, with conductor Halpenny in charge, Al Kenwood being the engineer, and Chas. Hackett the fireman. When some distance above the Oro Denoro mine, and below Williams spur it was evident that the air brakes on the cars had failed to work, and the heavy train was beyond control, rushing down a steep grade to destruction as fast as about 750 tons of Granby ore and the increasing momentum could take it. The train crew on: and all, after trying to stop the train with the hand brakes, and realizing that only death was ahead to stay with the train, quickly -selected .10ft spots atid jumped " to safety, none of the crew being hurt. The brakeman were J. Reid and Wm. Toat. In the meantime the momentum increased and tlie engine lost both its cylinders half a mile or a mile above the wreck, which railway men claim can only happen when a speed exceed ing 46 miles an hour has been attained When the runaway tram arrived at the cut close to the Oro Denoro' mine, in Summit camp, the engine jumped the track and blocked it, the ore cars soon piling up and being reduced to small pieces, although the last ore car and caboose remained on the rails. The track itself was spread and torn up for ioo:yards or more, the telegraph lines were broken and traffic was completely blocked till yesterday. All of the motive power and rolling stock happened to be on the other side of the wreck, so that no passenger or other trains could operate to and from Phoenix. Consequently, the passenger run to this city was cancelled, and passengers and mail were brought to this city by teams from Eholt or Greenwood. can be put in service again in the course of time. It was the first of the three Shays that were placed in commission on the Phoenix hill, and has done much seruice in the last three years. Over and through the entire wreck the 750 tons or more of Old Ironsides and Knob Hill ore. is scattered and piled and flung to the four |K)ints of the compass. It is said that, according to custom, when the train reached Williams sid- mg, a stop was made to allow the brake shoes to cool 01T, after coming down half of the steep hill from Phoenix. Before a start was made the brakes were examined, and were apparently all right, bUt shortly after getting under headway Engineer Ken- ward tried the air, and found that evidently jt would work, for only two or three cars of the long train. He at once whistled for down brakes, and the train crew of three did their best to apply the hand brakes. Before they could take effect, however, the heavy train had gained such momentum that it was apparent nothing could stop it, and it would have to go to destruction. Then all hands jumped off at the first convenient place arfd saved their lives. Eye witnesses assert that the train must have attained a speed of from 60 to 100 miles an hour before becoming derailed. Hundreds of persons from Eholt and Phoenix have_. visited the wreck, which is the worst} in the history of railroading in this&ec'ion, the Granby mines being practically closed Thursday, as no ore could he shipped. One enterprising photographer, Jas. McRae, of Phoenix, took: se\eral excellent views of the wreck. How the angle cock got turned that let th'e air out of that ore car, ar:d brought on the accident, is not known, but some think it was done, perhaps unwittingly, by some one stealing a ride on the train. ,If so, the victim is buried in the wreck. This will only be determined vihen the wreck is cleared away, and it is possible that the -steam wrecker from Revelstoke will be brought donn-to the Boundary for that purpose.

At the properties of the Montreal and Boston, that is, at the Brooklyn mine, in this camp, on which the chief effort is being concentrated at first, as it is to be the largest shipper of the several groups���the work of getting ready for extensive shipments is steadily progressing. The main incline shaft is being enlarged to accommodate the skip, and at the same time retimbered. This work has now progressed upwards GRANTED AID ���>. TO HOSPITAL Qty Council Gives $50 Per Months AT WEDNtSDAVS WEEKU MEETING Building Around Ihe Wreck. All of the extra workman available were quickly put at work by the C. P. R. in building the trestle around the wreck, which occurred close to the 'Denoro townsite. Divisional Engineer R. A. Bainbridge, of Nelson, Road- master H. L. Johnson,, of Greenwood, and Supt. J. S. Lawrence, of Nelson, gave their personal attention to the resumption of traffic as quickly as possible. Early yesterday morning the temporary track was finished by Ed. McGrade's evtra gang and Foreman Carlson's bridge crew, and trains were once more run to Phoenix. A visit to the wreck by the Pioneer man shows it to have been a most complete affair, as far as destroying the rolling stock of the railway company is concerned. The huge Shay locomotive is lying on its side,' its ponderous maehinery twisted and scattered and much of it buried under several of the 24 ore cars and their contents, which piled up at the entrance of the cut when the runaway train left the rails after its mad flight of a couple of miles or more. The ore cars themselves are. broken into such small pieces, that, with the exception of some of the trucks and wheels, they are rendered absolutely useless. It is possible that the locomotive, with the. expenditure of a few thousand dollars in the machine shop, SILVER CLOUD LOOKS GOOD Boiler Was Installed Week. This SHAFT IS NOW DOWN FORTY FEbT Looks Belter, For Work Done, Than Other High Grade Claims That Have Become Profitable. James McCreath, who, with L. A Smith, Ale* Robinson and Charles Johnson, have a lease and bond on the Silver Cloud claim, in Skylark camp, for $10,000, was in the city this week, and stated that the development work thus far done on the property had been most encour-ging. The shaft is now down about 40 feet, and the values are increasing with depth. The latest assays give $470 in gold, silvei and lead for the first class ore, and $37 for the second class ore, and a trial shipment will be made at no distant date. A boiler was taken to. the property this week, to aid in the development, and the lessees have reason to think that they have a. splendid mining proposition. Those who are familiar with the high grade claims of the Boundary state that no equally good showing has been made on any of the successful high grade mines of this section at the same depth. The property was bonded from Duncan Ross, A. S. Black, I. H. Hallett, and John Nelson, all of Greenwood, and adjoins two or three other high grade claims that are being successfully worked thus far.

Regarding the Brooklyn it is given out that this mine has 350,000 tons of ore practically ready for shipment, which can be placed on the cars at a cost of $1.25 per ton. Average values for smelting returns are given at 2 per cent copper, . 1 ounce gold .3 ounce silver, average value $5.62 per ton. Cost of mining and smelting, $3.05 per ton, with a net profit of $2.57 per ton. Total area, 170 acres, and equipment equal to handling at least 500 tons per day. Morrison group is in the shape to ship 150 tons per day, with 200,000 tons in sight. Ore can be placed on cars when the spur is built for $1.25 per ton, and on account of containing 2c per cent sulphur, is specially desirable for fluxing. Average smelter returns show .2 ounces gold, from .5 to 1 ounce silver and .6 per cent copper. Average value $4.05 per ton. Cost of mining and smelting $2.90 per ton; profit $1.15 per ton. In the Athlestan-Jackpot there are 100,000 tons in sight, which;-can-be- mined at 60 cents per ton, being on the open quarry system. Ores run from .2 to .8 ounces in gold and .5 to .7 ounces silver, and can be mined and smelted at $3.40 per ton. Ores average $7.50 per ton, leaving profit of $4.50 per ton. This profit will be increased by $1 per ton as soon as the spur to the mine is completed. The Mountain Rose in Summit camp is much of the same character ore as the Sunset, in Deadwood camp, all owned by the company, and valuable chiefly as fluxes, having large excesses of iron, with some gold, silver and copper values. Both have an immense tonnage of this ore that can be cheaply quarried. As is well known the company's smelter is located at Boundary Falls, about four miles below Greenwood, and now has a daily capacity of 650 tons daily, with two furnaces. The third furnace on the ground will make a capacity of 1,000 tons daily, when the smelting costs would be $1.50 per ton. During 1903 this smelter treated 112,226 tonsofore,pr._ducing 2,551,142 pounds of refined copper, 7,705 ounce* of gold, and 58,72s ounces of silver. This was the result, however, of operating one furnace 2SS and two furnaces 11 o days. Estimated Earn'ngs. It is estimated that, in order to obtain the best results from a metallurgical standpoint, with four furnaces in operation, the daily charge would consist approximately of the following: Dominion Copper ore...700 tons Morrison... 150 " Athelstan 120 " Sunset V , .1 MountainRo.se/" ���������"���' Total.,,,,..,.,,., 1,200 tons Such a charge, when everything is in full running order, would, it is claimed, make a profit of $2,511.50 per day or $916,697.50 per annum, being 14 per cent, on the par value of the stock issued. All allowance for slag losses, freight and refining charges, etc., have been deducted from the above figures, and no estimate has been make except on ore actually developed and blocked out. The freight charges are estimated at from 15 cents to 30 cents per ton, and that there is oro enough now ready to last the smelter two years at i,ooj tons per day, the smelter value of which is over $4,000,000. In 60 days the third furnace, now on the is being cut. The- work is necessarily slow, but is being done in a permanent manner, and may require three weeks yet to finish to the surface, when shipments will at once commence. The water is being kept out of the Stemwinder mine, it requiring but a few hours each week or ten days. This mine is to be worked when the Brooklyn is under way. This week Supt. Collins spent several days in Greenwood and at the Morrison mine, which is also to be gotten ready for operations shortly, being followed by the Athlestan-Jackpot group in due time.

Boundary Mining Notes About twenty men are working on the foundations for the new ore crusher at the Mother Lode mine. About 40 men are employed at the Emma in Summit camp, 6 at the Oro Denoro and 7 at the Reliance. A fourteen inch vein of ore has been reached on Jhe- Barbara, near Greenwood, that runs close to $100 per ton. After the train wreck this week, stopping ore shipments, some of the furnaces at the Granby smelter were blown out for a day or two. Cap.

Boyle, Birnie, Delahay, Marshall and Porter were present, with Mayor Rumberger in the chair. A petition was read from a number of business men on Dominion avenue, asking that something be done at once about the Burning of Twin creek from Phoenix to Cimeron street, as it. is a menace to health. The railway company the mayor explained will do part of the work, and the board of works has been authorized to see that it < is completed without delay. A petition was read fiom about 50 rate payers and residents, asking that the council make a grant of $50 per month to the Phoenix General Hospital. Secretary Martin _was present, and on invitation of the mayor made some remarks, showing the necessity for assisting the hospital, which has been doing -such ' excellent ���work in Phoenix. The matter was thoroughly canvassed by the council, and finally fi" unanimous .vote was passed granting' the aid asked for till the end of the' year 1904,' the amount to apply on the charge for any patients that the city, might find it necessary to send to the , hospital.

The clerk was instructed to write tne district land registar,' asking in whose name the property is registered and the date of the registry. Notice was ordered to be given to the telephone company that the fire alarm system was out of order, and that unless it was placed in order at once, the council will not pay for its- use. The chief of .fire department was authorized to place the heavy hose reel, at the No. 3 station on Old Ironsides avenue. The matter ol non-enforcement of the pound by-law was brought up, and the question of cattle roaming the streets and destroying flower and vegetable gardens was discussed. The chief of police said hu had notified owners of cattle, and was instructed to> notify them once more. It is likely that more drastic action will follow if the notification is not heeded by the owners of wandering cows and bulls. $ 7 00 22 05 28 00 50 20 00 365 iS 00 36 00 ���?6 00 w i"ff _| Ml ."'ft* ~_Il.- r\ m* IK- ���to ft .-* ' ff ���: $V ��� if?'.

WSreCT FOR BRiTISH JUSTICE.

Let us quote a case in point A few days ago a degenerate colored man���from the United States, by the way���killed a colored woman in cold blood right in the city limits of Phoenix. Fortunately the murderer was quickly apprehended, and lodged in jail, had his preliminary examination, was held for trial for his life within a couple of months, and there seems - to be not a shadow of a doubt that the man in question, Joshua Bell, will be the chief attraction at a necktie party before the snow flies in earnest.

That the Gieat Northern will make a bid for traffic other than ore hauling��� and the officials will have a keen eye for that, too, make no mistake���goes without saying. Ore tonnage is what the railways are all after m this coun, try, and they've had considerably over 500,000 tons so far this year. But there are many dollars t. be picked up from passengers, incoming freight, express, telegraph, etc., and .indications are not lacking to prove that Mr. Hill will go on a still hunt for some of those dollars. These strenuous efforts of another transcontinental railway to tap Phoenix, recall to'mind the days when the hurricane deck of a nimble cayuse was the accepted means of long distance locomotion, before the shrill screech of the iron horse was heard in thes. mountains. There are numbers of men in Phoenix today who packed their blankets and grub 60 and 70 miles from Marcus and Bossburg, the nearest railway points, for the privilege of prospecting the Boundary's sunny slopes. And sometimes it was necessary to retrace those weary miles to secure additional supplies, for the country stores in those primitive days were few and far between and carried indifferent stocks. 0 * ��� Practical Horseshoeing, Blac.smlthlnf, ��� Dominion Ave., PhoenU, B.

Kirmse, a member of the bridge gang working near Littleport was taken suddenly ill Thursday night with cramps and a kind of cholera. His case was so severe that he had to have the' members of the crew wait upon him and Mr. Clifford called and consulted. He told, him that he had a medicine in the form of a Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought would help him out, and accordingly several doser were administered, with the result that the fellow was able to be around next day.

Lode mining was not known till after 1884, when Chas. Dietz, still a resident of the Boundary, came into this section. Then John Thornton, W.'.T. Smith, George East, James McCormick, David Leyson, James Atwood, Ed. Lefevre, Wm. Ingram, Matthew Hotter, and George Rumberger came in in the late'8o's and early 'qc's- followed by a host of others, most of whom had had some experience in the silver booms of the Slocan or the Coeur d'Alenes, or in Rossland. But for many years the only means ingress and egress to this section was by way of Marcus or Bossburg, unless one took the Dewdney trail from Rossland, as many did, especially the' Chinamen, who had an aversion to going through Uncle Sam's land. In the the,course of time a wagon road was built from Marcus up the Kettle river to Cascade by, the townsite people of that now quiet hamlet. It was easy to extend this to the present site of Grand Forks, and thence over boundary mountain to Anaconda and Greenwood. Robert Wood, the father of Greenwood, did a lot of work in road building to bring trade to that growing village, and if helped to de- velbpths country. by Mr. Graves to piovide a team to take the party to Phoenix. When the two scrawny and forlorn looking cay- uses came up the travellers looked askance at the animals, but being assured of their toughness, all board was soon said. To the surprise of Mr. Graves and Mr. Whitney, the cayuses landed the party safely in Phoenix, 60 miles away, ahead of the regular siage, which had several relays of horses on the way. It is needless to remark that Mr. Whitney was greatly impressed by what he saw of the then coining Granby mines, even at that early date of their development, and it is not unlikely that the Philadelphian is one of those who thinks Granby stock' is still good enough to hang on to. you wish fo 1111.1111 pany one oi tlieceex i .irsioi s write atonee lo W.

Over this road, till the C.'P.R. was completed in 1899, all of the heavy machinery used in the, development of Boundary mines had to be hauled at great expense from Bossburg. Staging was a fierce proposition, many times, in those days, especially when weather conditions was not propitious. But the Boundary was growing steadily, and was destined to be known all over the world. ���. In the summer of 1898 W. C. Whit ney, of Philadelphia,, son of the ex- secretary of the United States navy, had been induced to ��� visit the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill mines by J. P. Graves, then _.nd now the manager. Like all others, he had to travel by stage from Bossburg to arrive at the scene of his investments. In Bossburg Reid C. Crowell had been asked British Music In Spokane.
