Phoenix camp has at lest reached the stage where over a thousand tons of goldcop|>er ore are sent 'from the mines to the Mnelter, 29 miles distant, every day. Between daylight and dark each day two trains, each of 17 ore cars.each car containing about 30 tons of ote, are shipped down the hill to the Granby reduction works at Grand Foiks. In order not to ship Sundays, on Saturdays and Mondays an extra trajn is dispatched. This is at the rate of 365,000 tons per year, or neirly equalling the total output of of the Boundary for 1901. In the course of |)erhaps a week or two the rate of shipping from the Granby mines^ will be increased to at least thiee trains or 1,500 tons each 24 hours, or at the annual rate of nearly 500,000 tons. This increase will be necessitated by the fact that the finishing touches to the two new furnaces at the smelter are now being put on, and very shortly they will be blown in, requiring about 1,500 tons of ore daily to keep them running. This will make four furnaces in use by the Granby smelter, each with a guaranteed capacity of 250 tons each 24 hours. ^uch, hpwever, is the admirable' self fluxing character of the ores that each furnace, ~ qndef the careful management of SuperintftuJiOt' Hodges, is handling upwards" of 375 tons of ore each day. Qradiaily lacreaiiaf Mlac Force. " Thus lar there has been no great increase in the -number of men employed at the Granby mines, but in a' short time more men will be put on, gradually. While the smelter was closed do\vn>for a week, to permit connecting the blowers (or the two new furnaces, the mine force was kept at about the usual number of men.; Thus a large, reserve of ore was accumulated in the ore bunkers, stbpes^and open quarries,.which,is now being shipped.

The Phoenix Hockey Club took a full train load of enthusists to Grand Forks last Saturday night to > witness the contest there with the Smelter City's puck chasers. The open rink was in good condition and a large audience assembled to witness the game," the players being lined ..up as follows: Urand Forks. Position., Phoenir. Cochrane . Goal....'

X. McDonald and Mr. McMordic. The game started off with a rush, Phoenix pressing Grand Forks hard and giving Cochrane all he "could handle in goal. Finally, after fifteen minutes hard play, McArthur scored the first goal for Phoenix. Shortly after this both sides seemed ao forget that hockey was the game they started^ to play, and the pme developed into a regular Ilqneybroqk. Fair.' The first .naif ended 1^=0, in ftvpr of Phoenix. Soon after the start of the second half, McQueen broke away from the bunch and eluding the Phoenix defence made the score one all. The excitement Ws intense and for a' few minutes one would have thought that the whole ot Grand Forks was playing the game, as the ice 'became black with spectators crowding upon it ��� .~ From this:/on Referee Bonter had his hands full in keeping the players in order,; as the Phoenix boys were as determined to win as the Grand Forks boy�� rwereV On a pass'from-'Brown, Baker ��� scored .the - ne\t, * |for Grand Forks, making the" score, Grand Forks 2, Phoenix i.f'The P.noenix boys then got down to work and soon evened the score; and with but three quarters of a -minute to" play Monk once more shot the-rubber disk past Cochrane, and the Pay Roll City boys won a hard fought match by a score of 3 to 2.

It was decided to1 have the Board >of Works alter the sidewalk on First street, in "front of the" Summit hotel, and the bill of the Pioneer Pub.'Co. for $31.80, and that of S. M.

' The system of handling the surface oie in the Knob Hill, mine has been gotten down ��� to a pretty fine point, from an economical standpoint. Raises Have been made from the main tunnel of the Knpb'Hill mine to the open pit or quarry, aVd after being broken don n the ore is sent down these raises or shafts, and handled expeditiously on the double track railway of the tunnel. In order to save handling the ore on the surface, as fast as the advance is made into the hill, a raise is made' to connect from "the" tunnel. Thus six of these raises have- thus' far'-been made, the last one5 being conipleted Wednesday evening of this \ve"ek.: 4 As winter came on/if'-was decided to'run a'runnel into the face of-the glory hole ore body, so that, -no matter how severe the weather, the work' of getting out ore from this >part of ��� the mine might not be delayed-. ' Accordingly this drift or' tunnel has been made so far'a= distance of some -' 200 feet, at which point it was met by 'the sixth raise above referred to. ' This drift will also'be continued another' couple'of hundred feet. ��� .ing steadily pushedJa .getting it ready for use. It will probably require about ^imonth, j -^ ��. ^. The change in management of the schools of the city is expected to entail some more work on' the city officials, as in future'all accounts, including the salaries of the teachers, will be paid by the city clerk on vouchers issued by 'the trustees. A separate set of books ,will probably be commenced at the city hall to~fiandle the affairs of the schools. ii i; : ��� BOUNDARY MWlNQ' NOTfeSi Owing to the lack of water at the. No. 7 mine, Central: camp, one shift was recently laid off temporarily. It is estimated that the new Granby converter will produce about 1,300 toils of blister copper per month. ��� ���Rapid'work is being done in the installing of tlie large' hoisting engine recently received at the Sunset mine; Deadwood camp: ' .The completion of the' new furnace for the Greenwood smelter is said to have' been delayed hy the non-arrival of some structural steel from Pittsburg. .. The first car, load of 95 per cent blister copper, made at the new Granby converter, consisting of 30 tons, was sent .east to the refinery from Grand Forks last Saturday.. . The latest report,, in regard tp starting, the third furnace at the Granby. smelter, is that it will probably take place about the \o\\\.of February,.vth.e fourth to be blown in a little later., ,, , Since connections have been made in the new timber shaft on the Qld IronsideSj a few days, ago, v the smelter management -to���handle-a- jnuch'lafger amount of ore each day than heretofore:!

Mr. Binns was enthusiastic in rer gard to the new refinery which is i\ovt> , being erected ..at the j smelter. When completed it will have cost the Can- , adiatf;Smelting Works about $60,000, and>*will-' be a'great boon to the mine : - -. 1 * 1 ~ owners of the Kootenays. . The refinery; is being built on a hew plan,,' from new patents, that-have never.been tried, before J on a large; scale, the patentee being here himself from New York,' to superintend, its erection.. Before it was decided to erect it, however, Manager Aldridge visited the east and secured-the opinions of .experts iaUheTefiningibusinessas. to its practicability-, and;, decided that it,-was well adapted to the work mapped, out for it in 'Trail��~ ., As a refinery of the ordinary kind costs something like $200,000 or more to erect, if the new Trail refinery is a success, as.there seems tp be no doubt, it will be a^spjendid thing for die mine owners of British Columbia, and will save them a good many thousand dollars each year. It is anticipated that the refinery willbe ready for operation some, time in May or June.! The smelter itself is expected to be blown in again today or early next week. ���Mr._ Binns was recently elected mayor of ,the^ city/ of Trail, by acclamation.

Phoenix1 is probably in the best position financially of any of the newly incorporated cities of the province. -1 ii > ,/A ���v H 'day^rate. Every twenty-four hours two trains of 17 cars each, are sent down the hill to the company's smelter, '\each car containing an average of 30 tons of ore. This will be the regular 5,rate'of shipping hereafter, with the ex-; 1 7ception that an'extra train willJbe sent ' out each Saturday and1 Monday, (in , order not to have to ship on < Sunday.

' This'ore is all carried over the C.P \ R;, which company is beginning to get ' pretty good' interest on'the cost of building the -Boundary 'railway���at least on this'end of the line. The /.railway' company^is now getting $r.,~ 000" per day "for freight from the Gran- ; by Co* alone, accordihg to reports, and as the tonnage'increases, the lailway company's income 'will also increase. This would pay a moderate rate of interest on the cost of tbe entire Boun- 'dary branch-of-the C- P. R-.\ " ness. These wcie the Vernon & Nelson, the Columbia and ihe Boundary Creek lines. In a short time the latter dropped out, being absorbed by the Columbia. Then it was a war to the bittei finish between the V. & N. and and the Columbia. The V. & N. having the longest purse, came out Victorious,'and now has the field to itself. In the mealime, however, all three companies were steadily losing money. Now, then, the V. & N. have raised rates somewhat, to a reasonable Figure, and objection is made. This is but natural, for no one likes to have the price of any commodity increased, whether it be bacon and beans or telephones. As a matter of fait, the rates now are not unreasonablt���even if the company has a monopoly. It is much more expensive to constiuct and main tain lines in this mountainous section, , rrosjicmy and the company has invested many good advertising, thousands of dollars. Added to this it isgiving a good service, on long short lines,' at a tate lower than similai localities. ' The Pioneer has'never been accused of having any special love for the Ver non & NelsrJh Telephone Co., but does believe in giving the devil his due had telephone service at less, than ccsl. How long would any man.who reads these lines remain in business on such a basis ? We are now getting a really better service than when there was competition, and we are paying a little more for it. But the difference is north more than it costs the average business man. \ WHAT EDITORS SAY | Dunsmuir is out with an appeal to the i>cople. 'J hat won't "save him.��� Cranbrook Herald.

I STRICTLY BUSINESS I Prosperity follows in the wake of Theie is only one suie way of disposing of \011r goods; that one way is by advertising them. The man who is in the race to win will have a handicap if he drives a double team of teal \alues and good advei Using. You cannot make a prosperous season by sitting back in a dark corner and complajninn of the prospects. It takes both energy and effort to gain the success you most desire. There is no prosperity |wssible without intelligent advertising. The man who knows how to make pros perity by pushing to a definite end for the sake of that prosperity will seldom be disappointed. If a merchant realises the great value to be obtained from advertising he will not go about it in any hall-hearted manner. It should be his plan to be so peisistent, energetic and enthusiastic that he will be able to convince himself by the results of his effort that the study he has given the mattei was well worth while.
