'UlC'ttl (IDITO (MS k\.IK Mil COST Miff To the Shareholders : Your directors respectfully present their report of the state and condition of the company for the year ending July 31, 1907. During the year there has been spent a total of $356,714.67 on improvements to the smelter, new development work at the mines, arid installation of new machinery, amount spent. on the smelter $173,098.73, and covers the cost installation of No. 3 Furnace blowers, a complete equipment The was and and for AUJiamuiAi.rXiujjja^ J 908 . We wish to thank our many Customers for their Liberal Patronage during the year of 1907, and to express the hope that, by careful attention to business, we may merit a continuation of their Valued Favors during the year just beginning. We wish you all joy and prosperity, today and every other day of the year���whatever of success and happiness comes to you will make us glad. electrical opeiation in place of steam, additional land for slag dump, and; a new water works system. The smelter now has a capacity of 1200 tons of ore ber day. Owing to numerous delays beyond the control of the company the complete installation of No. -3: Furnace was not effected until the month of June. This was a great disapppoint- ment, as it had been expected this furnace would be in operation early in January. As high as 750 tons of ore a day has been handled in this furnace, but the most economical results will probably be secured with an output of about 600 tons. The new furnace is equipped with a mechanical feed operated by electric locomotives. This mechanical feed will be extended to furnaces No 1 and No. 2, which will result in a very material reduction to1 the'cost per ton of smelting the company's ore. The hew water works system, in addition to giving i better efficiency to the operation of the smelter, also furnishes an excellent fire protection, and reduces the rate of insurance. > During the year there has been spent at the mines oh new development work and new machinery a total of $i83,6r8;84-. The mines are now completely equipped for: operation by electricity instead of steam. New compressor plants have been installed at the Idaho and Sunset mines. These improvements will result in a decided saving in cost of mining the company's ore. The new development work, consisting of drifts and upraisings, amounted to a total of 8519 feet. In addition to this, exploration work with diamond drill has been done aggregating 1045 feet. The physical condition of the company's mines, both in the total tonnage now in sight and the equipment for mining the same, has been greatly improved during the past year. A large amount of development work has been done on the Rawhide mine, and that property is now capable of furnishing 800 tons of ore per day for an indefinite period. A very.large tonnage is now available from the Idaho, and will run about the average values of the camp. A new body of ore has been found in the Brooklyn. There has not yet been sufficient development work to fully prove the size of this body of ore. The 80 ft., 150 ft., and 250 ft. levels are in the ore, and the values are showing very satisfactory. The Brooklyn mine has always carried good gold values, which is most desirable in these low grade ores. The Sunset ore, which has been used la.gely as a flux, has been showing better copper values. In the report made by Mr. M. M. Johnson to the board of Directors, he says : "The development of the various mines has been very satisfactory, the year's work having showed an increased tonnage in all except the Brooklyn. "The work on the Rawhide taken in conjunction with the work done on adjoining ground by the Granby Co. has shown this property to contain a very large tonnage of ore. The mine can produce 800 tons of ore per day for an indefinite time. "The work on the Brooklyn has shown some new ore on the north oj the shaft, but was found so late in the year that nothing definite as to its ex tent or value can be said about it. However it looks very encouraging and I expect that it will mine about the average of the former Brooklyn ores; the last samples taken show the average at 0.7% copper and nearly $2.00 per ton in gold. Nothing below the 300 level of the Brooklyn has as yet heen found. "At the Sunset outside of ore ex trication very little exploring was done. A short tunnel put in from the surface found the ore at a depth of 50 feet below our present work. No further work was done to prove the extent and quality. "The exploring work on the Crown Silver has shown the claim to contain a considerable amount of ore but so far has proved to be of very low grade and.much broken up. Sufficient work was not done to*' allow of a definite conclusion or an estimate of tonnage. "The'Athelstan work was not very satisfactory^ 'resulting in finding the ore very narrow at a short distance below the good -showing' on .the surface. Several hundred tons of ore were ex tracred in the co'urse of tin's develop merit cdntainihg"$6;bo and $8 00 gold per ton This yore has not been smelted. : '���'" ;1:';i '.'���.'"In the Idaho the work on the tunnel level ancTpn the 100 level has been very satisfactory, opening up a very large tonnage of ore. The most satisfactory feature is the finding of a better average grade of ore on the 100 level than the upfpef work gave. A sample taken from the wide portion of the ore on the 'loo level gave 1.3% and 1.2% copper and $1.00 gold per ton.' The ore found on the upper level and on the! surface has always been figured at an average of about 1%. "During the year the wages of the workmen were advanced 50c. per day. On an output of} 1000 tons per .day this means an extra outlay of at least $125,000.00 peri-year, and increased the cost of production The central compressor located at the Idaho mine was fully completed and put in operation; you have riere a plant that will furnish power forVall purposes for the Idaho, Brooklyn and Rawhide mines sufficient for a 20(00 per day output. "The Sunset I mine has been equipped with an electric hoist and electric driven compressor, these are in operation and will be sufficient for all requirements arid should reduce the cost per ton very materially. The saving obtained in the use of powder alone at this point will quickly pay the cost of installation. At the smelter the No. 3 Furnace, Ore Bins, Crusher Plant, etc., have- been.completed and the furnace was ���'put in operation in June. This month and the month of July were used iri experimenting and regulation. It has been shown that a very large tonnage can be treated, some of the days run being as high as 750 tons. The question as to what will be the safest amount for the best percentage of saving has not yet been determined. This furnace is mechanically fed aud when properly adjusted as to tonnage, blast, etc., will reduce the cost of operation; very materially, and with I the two old furnaces put on new plan of feeding, which can be done at small cost, the capacity of your smelting plant should be between one thousand and twelve hundred tons per day. "On the whole, the.year just closed has not been a satisfactory one in the mines or smelter, whether considered from an earning or operating point of view; mishaps and interruption were so frequent that it was hard to get a steady run and consequently difficut to regulate matters nicely. Perhaps these delays and misfortunes were felt the more keenly because of the exceeding smooth manner in which everything ran throughout the preceed- ing year. In an industry which operates on such a close margin, a great deal depends upon regularity and steadiness of 'operating. A little bad luck, the prevalence of extraordinary conditions, may change the result of a month's operations from profit to loss. Thus the operations mishaps though of seeming small magnitude in themselves were very serious,, because the entire plant (mines and smelter) was carrying an organization calculated for a given tonnage, and when this output was interfered with, as was the case particularly in the last half of the year, the efficiency of the organization was reduced and a great increase in cost per ton for extraction and reduction entailed. "The most serious misfortune was the inability of the railroad company to supply the smelter with ore. Early in January we commenced to have trouble from this source and operations were spasmodic for several months thereafter, not being able to tell from day to day whether we would receive ore enough to run the furnaces one hour or twenty-four. Finally, in the month of May, we were obliged to shut down entirely and continue closed for the whole of that month. Repeatedly shutting down or banking a furnace increases the expenses, both in consumption of fuel and in repairs. In the month of June the No. 3 furnaace was put in commission and its regulation and experiments carried on through the months of June and July under the most trying conditions, small tonnage reduced, inexperienced workmen, lack of coke, etc., all went to make a high cost per ton. "By the installation of the power plants with electrical applications, the facilities for increased tonnage at the furnaces, you have every reason to believe and every right to expect a great reduction in cost of production both at the mines and smelter for the ensuing year. "I should expect your mining, smelting and freight should not now exceed $2.75 per ton of ore treated, provided you run on capacity of 1000 tons per day. This tonnage your mines is easily able to furnish." 10,090 Ounces of (fold. During the twiivt- months the company has mined and smelted a total of 187981 tons, an average of 15665 tons per month, from which 3256.451005 of matte was produced. This matte contained 10321.05 ounces of gold, 42606.81 ounces of silver, . and 2910695 pounds of copper; from iis sale $820,184,84' was realised by the company. The total expenses were $740,002.72, leaving a profit balance of $80,942.91. This result was ob tained in spite of shut-downs of the smelter, aggregating 4271 hours and 50 minutes duringthe year, or a total smelter* time lost of three months. The greater part of this loss was caused by the inability of the railroads'to transport the ore from the mines to the smelter, owing to the serious conditions existing during the winter months and from scarcity of equipment. During the summer months the railroad secured an increase in its equipment, and in the future it is expected that this cause will be eliminated. 'The month of May was almost a complete shut-down, owing to a strike among the miners at the coal mines, and making it impossible to. secure a supply of coke. As profits can only be realized by smelting the ores mined, these constant shut-downs and interruptions have been very expensive to the company's net earnings. It is proper to add, in this connection, that great difficulty was experienced in the proper adjustment and operation of the new furnace; and that for this and other, reasons, recoveries at the smelter, since the year ending July 31st, 1907, "covered by this report, up to the time of the shut down in October, have not been satisfactory. Earnest efforts to remedy the trouble were made and considerable improvement had been effected, when your Directors deemed it best, in view of the demoralized condition of the copper market, to close down the mines and smelter in the month of October, rather than to sell the company's assets in the form of copper at the prevailing low prices.* This move was in line with the action taken by some of the largest producers in the United States, and its wisdom is shown by its having been followed by the other producing mines in the Boundary Falls district, where our properties are located. 'The company has on hand a full stock of coke, ore and supplies of all kinds necessary for the operation of the mines and smelter; and .it is hoped that. a permanent and satisfactory market price of copper will soon be .established, justifying,the resumption ofoperations. The propertys of the companies are how iii excellent* physical' condition; The improvements and additions to the plant, contemplated in the last annual report, are now completely installed, and, with a fair average price for copper, the company should make a favorable' showing. During the year the company retired $200,000 of its outstanding First Mortgage Bonds. 'The purchase of the Morrison' mines and the Athelstan mines was completed and title taken to these properties. A railroad spur over three thousand feet long has been constructed at the Rawhide at- a cost of $23,311.26. This cost, however, wili be returned to the company in freight allowances. The Morrison mine has some development work, and the ore will be valuable as a flux. The The Athelstan mines' ore at the surface has shown exceedingly rich gold values for the Boundary district. Not enough work has been done, however, to prove the ores at depth. The financial statement and trial balance set forth the condition of the company on July 31st, 1907. Warner Miller, President.

Tuesday afternoon fire broke out in a log cottage back of the Granby No. 1 cottage on Victoria avenue, occupied by Mr. Fisher and family. Mrs. Fisher had but time to catch up the two children and run out to a neighbor's, the interior being a mass of flames and doomed. The Fishers lost everything they had by the fire, not having time to save any of their personal effects, and Mr. Fisher had been at woik but a few days. The cabin was the one originally built and occupied by S. A. Swanson, and was owned by G. A. Larson. A subscription paper was passed around town for the benefit of the burned out family, and a comfortable sum was quickly raised the next day for the Fishers. W. S. Macy went down to Spokane last Sunday, returning during the week. FOR MAVOR. I907 D. J.. Matheson 65 G, W. Rumberger j... 52 KOR ALDKRMAN (3)���EAST WARD. Robert C.

The blanks in the 1907 vote indicate that the men named were not candidates last year. This election was the most hotly contested of any in the history of the corporation, the total vote polled being 218, out of 307 votes registered, two names having been placed on the list Wednesday night by the police magistrate. Both candidates for mayor were pitted against each other a year ago, when Mr. Matheson won out by a majority of 13 votes. This year there was even more interest taken in the election, with 101 more ballots cast than last year. The returning officer was City Clerk M. M. Stephens, and the election clerks were J. O. Church and J. C. Halsey. Workers for both tickets were busy all day, and teams were on hand to bring voters to; the'pblls, "some coming from Grand Forks and Greenwood. When the results were^known, the supporters of Mr. Matheson held a torchlight parade, and the successful candidate was drawn throughWe" principal streets of the city in a sleigh by many willing hands. 'The polls closed at the city hall at 7 o'clock, and from that time till the last ballot was counted there was a big crowd around the city hall awaiting the announcement of the result. Wednesday Nlfbt's Meetloc Following Mr. Rumberger's announcement in the last issue of the Pioneer, Mr. Matheson issued an open letter to Mr. Rumberger in reply. Then the latter replied again by an open letter in circular form. Then the spring poets, although a little ahead of time, began to do business, and citizens and others were favored with a bunch of poems (?) and limericks, which were supposed to bear on the attitude of the two chief candidates. Mr. Rumberger called a public meeting at the opera house for Wednesday evening, the only platform speakers being himself and Mr. Matheson. W. X. McDonald presided as chairman in a satisfactory manner, introducing the candidates. Mr. Rumberger spoke first for nearly an hour, presenting the reasons why he thought the electors' should support him, and criticising the Matheson administration-of the past ,yeai. Then Mr. Matheson had his innings, and made the best possible use- of them for an hour and a half, in turn picking the previous administration of Mr. Rumberger to pieces, and demonstat- ing why he believed the city govern- I ment of last year should be continued I in power for another term. Following ! this Mr. Rumberger made his reply and the meeting was over. Rarely has the opera house held a larger audience, and quite a number of ladies were present. .Asked beforehand if he would have any music, Mr. Rumberger thought there would be music enough before the evening was over���and he proved to be an excellent prophet. It was a good natured audience, and many of them thought they had often paid a dollar for a show there and did not enjoy themselves half as much. One lady remarked that she wished to go again when an entertainment as interesting as that was booked. The new council will have its'first meeting next Monday evening, according to statute. ; , v.' , Boundary Mining Notes The Phoenix scale of wages has prevailed at the Crescent mine, Skylark camp, since January 1st. ; Nothing doing is the latest report from the B.C. Copper Co.'s mine and smelter, but there are strong hopes. Supt. Shaefer, of the Strathmore mine, near Greenwood, who was here this week, states that plans are being made, when work is resumed, to run a long and deep tunnel, about 200 feet lower than the present tunnel. Granby has been operating .six furnaces steadily all this last week, and today or tomorrow another will be blown in, the eighth to go in commission as soon as may be thereafter. Three ore trains are going out daily, two over the Great Northern, arid one over the C. P. R., making about '2,- 500 tons per day, more or less. The 20 seven-ton steel mine ore dumps have.been safely sent down to the 400-level of the: Granby mines, where they will be used in getting out a heavy tonnage through the Victoria shaft. The 75-h.p. electric engine is now running on that level, having been installed by Abner Hillier, the company's electrician, and another week or so should see that opening sending out a large tonnage of ore. Greenwood Dramatic Clab. On Monday evening, January 27th, the Greenwood Dramatic Club will present the play "Confusion" at the Phoenix opera house. The play is a rattling good farce, and it is said that the company has some excellent talent to present it with. The Greenwood concert orchestra of eight pieces will also be present, and the presentation should draw a good house, seats being procurable, as usual, at Tom Brown's. The company plays at Greenwood on January 24th and at Grand Forks on January 25th. Latest Prices 10 Metals Nsw York���Copper, electrolytic, $13. 62 @ if 13.87; lake. $13.50 @ $14.00.

Trail smelter last week - received 5,- 693 . tons--of ./.ore, from 21 different mines. Machinery for-the -Golden Zone mine stamp mill is being hauled to the property from Peneticton. The Elwood Tin Workers' Gold Mining company, owning the Silver Dollar at Camborne, has gone into liquidation. Both the Vancouver and Hewitt mines of Silverton are shipping largely, eight carloads .of ore being sent out during the last week. In December the Nicola Valley Coal & Coke Co. shipped 3I593 tons of coal, most of which had been taken ���put in. development. There are 130 on the company's payroll. The enlargements in the lead plant at have now reached a point which will make it unnecessary for the Consolidated Company 10 make any further shipments of St. Eugene lead concentrates to Europe. At the Consolidated Go's St. Eugene mine at Moyie, 325 men quit work last week," declining to accept the new and slightly lower scale of wages recommended by the arbi'ration. board. This week they 1 decided to resume work. For the year ending June 30, 1907, the Le Roi Mining Co;, shows a profit of ^3,582 4s 5d, under the adverse conditions under which it operated. The mine shipped in that time 131, 696 tons of ore, of a value of $10.49 per ton. Total costs were $10.02 per on. The Elmore Oil Process Company is erecting a small mill for the reduction of ore near Golden. Ore will be milled on entirely new principles. Some five years ago an attempt was made to introduce oil concentrates into Rossland, but owing to the greatly reduced costs of smelting since that date and because of weakness in the original oil reduction machinery, the attempts inaugurated upon the Le Ro, No. 2 aud the White Bear were abortive.

Despiteithe bad season, 1907, upon the whole,! was in advance of 1906, and according to estimatessprepared from special reports sent in from all over' the province,' the metalliferous output for, the; year was slightly over $21,000,006, as increase of $ 1,300,000 over: the previous year. Placer gold, principally obtained from Atlin and) Cariboo, has shown a falling off of $200,000 from the figures of 1906, which in turn were the least on record for many years. The cause of this has been the pieparations made for hydraulicking on a large scale by powerful companies, including the Guggenheims. ���-.������ Lode gold, principally coming from the mines in Rossland and the quartz mills of the Ymir arid Lardeau districts, shows an increase of over a quarter million dollars. There was a1 falling off in both silver and lead products. Most of the galena camps depend for their profits upon their silver and zinc contents. Owjng to a lack of smelting facilities for zinc in the Kootenay little zinc was mined. Altogether only 2200 tons of ziric were shipped at heavy cost to Europe and to the United States. Copper shows an increase of$i,25o,- 000. There was a slightly lower production of copper ore in the Boundary which was more than offset by increased production in Rossland and at the coast. On the non-metalliferous side the production of coal jumped from $3,360,- 000 to $6,490,000. '1'hese figures include theproduct of the whole province. Coke shows a slight falling off, due 1 to the troubled conditions of the labor supply in the summer months. Building material is valued at $1,200,000, $200,000 more than the year before.

ADDRESS OF EARL CREY TO WORKINCMEH OF CANADA Ml ACT THAT Will TOUCH AND REJOICE THE HEARTS OF KIMI! EDWARD AND QUEEN ALEXANDRA On his way out to the official opening of the Toronto Fieo Hospital for Consumptives and King Edward Sanatorium on August 28th, 1907, the'Governor-General's car was stopped in its..progre.��8 outside the Canada Cycle & Motor Co. by the employees of those works. The sum of one hundred dollars was handed the Governor-General, a donation to the Toronto Free Hospital for Consumptives.' His Excellency in acknowledging tho ovation spoke as follows :��� "Men of the Canada Cycle & Motor Company, I thank you heartily , for your welcome. "I recognize that the three rousing British cheers with which you have greeted me, and which were so pleasant to listen to, have been given beoause I have the honor to be the representative of your King. "I can assure you, men of tho Canada Cycle & Motor Coinpariy, that it will give me great pleasure to toll His Majesty, tho King, how you have stopped me on my road to open the King Edward Sanatorium and Toronto Free Hospital for Consumptives, in order that you might give expression to your loyalty, and in order that you might present.; me with your contributions in support of the Hospital. "I know that your action in subscribing out of your hardly won earnings, so large a sum as one hundred dollars, will touch and rejoice the hearts of Their Majesties, for there is nothing that lies nearer the hearts of King Edward and Queen Alexandra thun tlio health and ' well-being of His Majesty's Canadian subjects, and there is no form of .' work in which Their Majesties are more interested Lhun Hospitalwork. "Therefore I say every man among you who has saved a quarter . from out of his earnings, in order to help those who ivro endeavouring, ��� by means of Hospital, Sanatoria, etc., to conquer consumption, and to , banish it from the land, is following the example of our King, and is making a truly Royal gift. "In the name of the King I thank you for your public-spirited generosity, I hope that your example will make its influence felt throughout the length and breadth of Canada." Beferring to this event at the opening exercises of the Sanatorium,. His Excellency said :��� "L*dlM��n��l c��ntl��m��n, whan tha worklncmen'af Sansda ��r�� mmttlng m.n txampl* mf this character, I hog'* that you will not be alow to follow, aincl I truat that th�� example of the Canada Cycle Jk Motor Co. may be followed, aa I am auro It will, in every factory unci manufacturing Industry throughout tho land."
