A re|k>rter iu Spokane recently interviewed lay P. Graves in regard to costs of mining and smelting by the Granby Co. Here is what was published in the matter : "I believe that before a gteat while we shall be able to mine and to smelt the Granby ores for $3 a ton," said J. P. Graves, general manager of. the Granby properties. "Do you mean that you will be able to handle ores running in value as low as $3 a ton ?" Mr, Graves was asked. 'No. I do not," he answeied. "The tern of ��3 will not include the cost of refining nor of marketing the product, and I do not care to say what the expense of those items is. The $3 figure, however, will include mining and smelting. "We are steadily effecting economies in the cost of treating our ores. Coke is now costing us $6 a ton, delivered. I understand that the Northport smelter is obliged to pay $10 a ton for its coke, as it is unable to secure coal supplies from the Crow's Nest pass fields. The difference of $4 a ton which we haye secured is a very nia- f terial advantage, Not Uneasy Over Copper. "I am not uneasy over the outlook for copper. The surplus stock has been almost completely consumed, and the users of the brown metal have been living almost on a hand to mouth basis. The present low price of cop- pei, ranging between 12 and 12^ cents per pound, is conceded to be manipulative, and under normal conditions it will soon right itself; I think that the price will be steady som,ew;here between 14 and 16 cents, and 1 look for a recovery in values in July. Whether or not the warring copper interests get together, the price of copper is sure to advance in response to the enormous demand for it, and we are already .witnes'sing signs of that advance. "Every business building, every manufactory, every ship, particularly every dwelling-'now,, uses capper in greater, or \es.s quantities for electric wiring. The use of copper in the electrical art is extended to Europe, which, aside from Germany, made little progress until lately in electricity.. "The consumption in the past year has been something like 10 per cent more than the production. The enormous dram 0)\ the surplus stocks has wiped them away, and higher prices for capper are almost inevitable." Duncanson Sails from San Francisco 6a tbe IStb df June. Tuesday's train carried D.

' Boundary Mining Notes. This week the Mother Lode shipped 3,232 tons of ore. The Jewel mine, Long Lake camp, resumed shipments to the Granby smeller this week, sending out two cars. One day this week it was asserted that 80 cais of coke were en route from Fernie and Michel to the Granby smelter. j. A. Clark, pf Trail.-has made a contract with the Granby smelter to supply 150 cars of clay, to be used for converter linings. Last Monday the B. C. chartered Co., Ltd., began surface woik on the B. C! group in Summit camp, under .Foreman Anderson. A force of 12 or 15 men " is now working on the Providence, the Greenwood piopeity that has attracted so much attention lately. It is expected, (hat Porter Bros, will be prepared to commence their contract with the Gsanby mines in about ten days. New steel cable was required from the east. Several days this week the ore shipments from Phoenix camp 'were cut down to 1,000 tons. This was occasioned by one furnace at the Granby smelter not running because of lack of coke. ; If all goes well, in another week or ten days the Sunset smelter, at Boundary Falls, should be ready to begin operations. The crushing machinery was delayed by the mud slides on the Crows' Nest Pass railway. It was a fortunate 'thing for the managmcut ot the Winnipeg mine that the machinery and buildings of the company-were well insured, else the fireoflast week Friday which destroyed the shafthouse, engine, boilers and compressor, "would have'been a serious loss to the company. ' As- it is, it wjjl delay getting at woi k again considerably, and will entail no small expense by reason of the workings filling wijh water. t Richard Piewman, the managing director, came over from Rossland pn last Saturday's train, and has been spending the week in and around Phoenix, waiting for the insurance adjuster from Portland to arrive, and decide on the exact amount of loss. The insurance was in the Transatlantic Fire Insurance Co., there being a risk of $5,500, which it is expected will nearly cover the damage sustained; apparently the building and contents are a complete loss. Mr. Piewman stated to the Pioneer that it was his full intention to secure another compressor plant at once, and resume operations as soon as practicable. Exactly how the fire happened is not known, but it is believed that one of the men on the night shift left his candle burning in the dry room, uxihe shafthouse, and that it burned" down to the socket, and so set fire to the'inflammable structure, and gained much headway before it was discovered by \the blacksmith, who was just coming on shift.

This was it serious matter to the mining mdustiy of the Boundary, but one that could hardly be foreseen. As a direct result, . one of the four furnaces of the Granby smelter was ,forced to suspend operations ;or a time, entailing a loss, it is stated, of many thousands of dollars to that concern. Happily this wasjiot destined to last long, as the supply was soon coming again. In a recent issue, the Nelson Daily News, supposed to be the organ of the Crow's Nest Coal Co., asserted that the officers of the Coal Co. had approached the smelter managment, requesting that a supply of 1,000 tons of coke be laid in h against emergencies, and that the suggestion was disregarded. This is not a statement of fact. At the time of the Fernie disaster the Granby Co. had 2,500 tons of coke on hand, which was soon used up when the daily supply of 200 tons, or ten ���cars, failed to arrive. ( t ��� It had always been the custom of the Giaiiby Co. to keep a supply of coke'and1 ore on hand to provide against accidents at the company's mines or in transportation, but in view of the statements made that the Crow's Nest Coal Co. had so much coke that" they had no market for,' it- was never thought that any trouble would be experienced in getting all that was needed. The terrible accident happened, and coke was not shipped for a time. The Granby Co. could ( not provide Against this and could not be expected to do so. , Probably as long as we remain on this mundane sphere nothing like the coronation of Edward VII. will occui again. Peihaps that is the reason so much is being made of it. The date jset is June 26th.

If ever theie was a government in the province of British Columb a that appeared to be thoroughly discredited . by the people at large, it is the aggregation now masquerading under that nani:, under the guidance of Piemiei Dunsmuir, at Vicoria. For months it has been holding itself in power by the narrowest of majorities, its down- tall seeming imminent a number of , times. At the last session Mr. Dunsmuir promised to have an extra session.and present his railway policy. But he iorgot all about It till this )ea/, and when the railway bill was finally brought down it was indeed fearfully and wonderfully made. So much so in fact, and such a hue and cry was raised ihroughout the v prjpvince over the outrageous land grants tacked to the bill, that,' in order to appease the people, and incidentally get votes enough to carry it through, the objectionable land giant feature was finally eliminated. This was to > keep .Joe Martin in line. ' Then Messrs. Ellison and Clifford openly threatened to leave the government, and to satisfy them their.'continued allegiance was bought by foring- j'ng in bills for railways for their particular constituencies. , The Provincial Piogressive Party is getting a strong foothold in the Slocan, several local organizations having been foimed there and in other parts of the piovince., Evidently the progressives scent-a provincial election. - One result ot the searching investigation being made of the recent Fernie disaster, will be more stiingent regulations protecting the lives of the mineis. Such regulaticns cannot be too com plete nor too thoroughly enforced. Every man who goes into a mine takes his life in his hands and should be protected by all human ingenuity. The Grand Forks News-Gazette as sens that upwards of $20,000 is sent out yearly to T. Eaton Co., Toronto, and other eastern departmental stores. A local man asks us why union men, getting,union wages in a union locality should extensively patronize eastern non-union sweat-shops persistently and constantly.''AVe pass the question up to our readers.

Sometblnr Personal of Our Member In tbe Leg- iilainre. ; 'I'he Victoria Times is running an excellent series ofartieles on the members of the British Columbia legislature.- 1 In a.recent-issue, appears a likenes* of Smith Curtis, member for Rosslauc ilding (of which the.Boundaiy is yet;. pan)'together .'wiilvii shoit acctiiint o his business; audi-political liie. We reproduce the sketch in full: ��� "It is a free, and withal a wonder- fujly keen, lance which is wielded b) the tireless './member for Rossland, Smith Curtis. No man in thc house more conscientiously follows eveiy panicle of business coming before thc legislature tlia'n he. He seeks lo compass the whole of the business, and tlm imposes on him a task whiih might be borne by three or four menibcis. "The deplorable handicap under which Mr. Curtis labors, namely par tin),deafness, seems only lo have sharpened his other faculties, and it is rarely indeed tliat he is taken at a disadvantage. He is sleepless in his vigilance, and manages to sandwich an enormous amount of work in between the opening and closing of the session. "Of hit, great ability, there is no doubt; of his courage and 'sincerity, there is little question. Other members are often unable to follow him iu his advanced themes of political economy and of government, but they cannot but admire his forcefulness and his untiring zeal in propagating his views. "Mr. Curtis speaks for liberalism and for labor, and nowhere in British Columbia do those great factois in Us affairs find an abler exponent and advocate. "He is a native of Ontario, having l.een born iu Leeds county. At the age of fifteen he began teaching school, eventuqlly p.blninjng a. firsttclass graue A certificate and. the degree of B. A. In 1882'lie 1 ft Ottawa, where he was the first assistant master in the Piovin- cial Model "'school,' attached to the Normal school there, and came to Portage laPraiiie, Manitoba, and studied law in the office of Joseph Martin, whose law partner he became in 1885, and remained such until 1891, when ill-health caused his reliiement, and for five years prevented his engaging in active business. "When Joseph Martin resigned his seat in the provincial legislature of Manitoba in 1891 to contest Brandon with the Hon, T. Mayne Daly in the federal election of that year, Mr. Curtis was selected by the liberals as candidate to succeed Mr. Martin ; but upon the defeat of Mr. Martin by Mr. Daly Mr. Curtis retired from the local contest so as to enable Mr. Martin to run and he wits again returned to the local house. "He came to Rossland in 1S96, where he practiced law for some two years. He has devoted his time principally to mining, for three years past. In 1900 he was returned for the legislature, having first been appointed Minister of Mines in Mr. Martin's cab- net.- Que of his great achievements during his brief tenure of office was the settlement of the Rossland strike by conciliatory measures, "He was married in 1890 to Lilly E. Mills, daughter of the late Wm. Mills, of Ottawa. "Mr. Curtis is perhaps unsurpassed as a debater in the present house, is remarkable for his readiness, and is prompt and incisive in repartee. He withdrew his support from his old leader last session when he discovered that Mr. Martin proposed to support the government." AT A THE BINER BLOCK >feai Second Sheet, on Knob 1 III! Ay.
