POWER ONCE  MORE  Smelters Feel The   Lack of  Same.  Relief Promised in About Two  Months.  Last winter  when   the shortage  of  electrical power occured in the  Boun  dary, and seriously curtailed the output  ofthe large low gradecopper mines and  smelters of this district;\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbeing directly  caused by the unprecented  low  water  in Kettle river, and tributaries, whence  the power is  derived\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdit  was. universally hoped that before another season  passed the possible shortage would be  provided for.    To this end   the   West  Kootenay Power & 'Light   Co.   made  contracts to deliver power in ' ihis   district from its works,   nearly   So   miles  distant, at Bonnington Falls on   Kootenay river.i.For this purpose a -separate  company was formed,   known  us   the  British   Columbia   Construction    and  Distributing Co., L.A. Campbell being  general manager of both corporations,  and extensive contracts were  at  once  let for new   machinery,   supplies  and  the building of the new line generally,  with orders to rush to the earliest possible completion.  All summer long hundreds of men  have been employed av the work and  hurry has been the word from the beginning. Nevertheless, today the  Granby Co. finds itself in a position  where it is not able to operate its  full battery of furnaces; for the simple  reason that the company's own. power  is today but one-third of 'normal, the  Cascade -Water, Power & Light  Co. isifurnishing alf it is capable Of\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  about 3,000 h.p. for all purposes\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  and the new power line is wit yet completed. With the two new blast furnaces ready for operation, making  eight in a'.l, the G run by Co. can operate but six furnaces for this very reason,  and must await\" the coming of the  power, from the Bonnington Falls  hydro electric works. And not the  water in Kettle river is lower than  ever before known at this season.  Mr. Campbell is doing everything  possible to crowd the work on his new  line from Rossland to the Boundary,  but the earliest date which he can  promise to relieve the situation is two  months hence, or the first of November or thereabouts. The right of way  is now cut through from Bonnington  to Greenwood, and the work of setting  the poles is proceeding with the least  possible delay, being practically complete from Rossland to Cascade.  Efforts are now being concentrated  largely on the Rossland-Grand Forks  section for as soon as that line is in  working order, he can temporarily use  his old line from Bonnington as far as  Rossland and thence over the new-  line to the Granby smelter at Grand  Forks, and so relieve the situation to  some extent till the entire line is completed to the l'hoenix mines and to  the Greenwood smelter of the British  Columbia Copper Co.  With the present prevailing of high  price of copper, the Boundary mine  managers are naturally anxious to run  to as full capacity as possible. The  present Boundary copper output is approximately 1,700,000 pounds per  month, but some time this fall, when  the new power is available, it will be  increased to about 2,300,000 pounds  per month or more. The increase  wil! also give employment to quite an  additional number of men at the district mines and smelters.

The building committee for the new  city hall'consists of Mayor Rumberger  and Aldermen Marshall, Birnie and  Carson, all being present at. Wednesday's; meeting except the last named.  It is the intention to rush the work as  fast as possible, so as to have the  building completed before seveie  weather sets in,.  -.- Dimensions of tbe Building.  The new city hall will be located on  the northwest corner of Dominion  avernie'arid' Montezuma, street,-, which  is-considered;.quite \"central. The building will 'be 44x50 feet in size, two  stdnes. in height, with .'1 tower. On  the lower, .floor will be a hose reel  house; 18x50 feet; city clerk's office,  18x20 feet; chief of police office, 18x9  feet: prison, chamber, 17x14 feet, and  three cells,'.each 7x9 feet in size.  The second-story will contain two  large rooms, one 14x23 feet arid the  other 19x23 feet, besides a room which  can be used for meetings, 19x44 feet.  The tower will be 7x9 feet. The entire building is to be finished in first-  class shape, with corrugated iron roof  and furnished with -bathroom and  lavatory.   Returns from the carload shipment  of Mavis ore were, about $40 per ton.  An ore body ten feet wide has been  reached in the new workings in the  Emma mine, Summit camp.  On Tuesday, October 3rd, the fifth  annual meeting of the Granby Consolidated will be held at the company's  New York office.  The latest assay from a rich pay-  streak on the Rambler, up the West  Fork, gave 342 ounces of silver to the  ton, or $825.50.  Last Monday was the monthly pay  day at the local mines, the amount being  somewhat smaller  than usual on  account of the partial close-down dur  ing August at the Granby mines.  Reports from Dividend mountain,  near Osoyoos, where the Granby company is working some properties under  bond, are to the effect that some good  ore has been struck in one of the new  tunnels that are being driven.  PHOENIXJAY  GET SMELTER  Dominion Co.'s Site Not Yet  Selected.  Various Locations Still Being  Examined.  An important find of ore is reported  as having been made on the Aztec  group, near Chesaw, by Capt. Harry  Johns for the B. C. Copper Co. It is  also said that the company will likely  acquire a bond on the Grant group in  the same locality shortly.  Fred Whitwell states that he has  arranged to install a boiler arid pump  at his Maori group in Providence camp,  and will shortly resume development  work on the property. The shaft on  the Maori is now down about 65; feet,  with a most encouraging showing of  ore. .' .; -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' ,  A small force of men is working on  the Brooklyn and Rawhide in this  camp. This week ore is reported to  have been struck in the raise being  made from the long drift on the 250  foot level of the Brooklyn, the work  now being in Idaho ground. The  raise will come to the surface.        ;  Boyles Brothers have moved one bf  their diamond drills from the 400 foot  level of the Old Ironsides mine, and  are now putting down holes from a  point near the northeast corner of Old  Ironsides avenue, and Second street,  thereby crosscutting some of the bores  made from the lower levels of the  Granby mines.

Attractions For New   Westminster Fair.  E. R. Ricketts, the Vancouver  theatrical manager, who has taken over  the New Westminster opera, house, has  booked some fine attractions for the  Dominion Fair season and the theater  will be open every night during the  time of the great national exhibition,  which is to open on Sept. 27.  On account of the prospects of large  audiences Mr. Rickets was able to induce some of the better companies lo  go a little out of their way to appear  in his New Westminster house on  dates from Sept. 27 to Oct. 7 inclusive.  The New Westminster opera house  with its latest improvements is fitted  to accommodate all the scenery and  appliances that the best companies  carry with them, while the comfort  and convenience of patrons have also  been well provided for.  Annual Presbytery Meeting.  The half-yearly meeting of Presby  tery of Kootenay was held at Greenwood on Tuesday and Wednesday of  this week. Among those present were  the following: Rev. Fortune, Cranbrook, moderator; Rev. Dunn, of Trail,  recording secretary; Rev. Grant, of  Rossland; Rev. Brown, Sandon; Revs.  Robertson and Ross, Grand Forks;  Rev. McKee, Greenwood; Rev. Farrar,  Kaslo; Isaac Crawford and Peter Mc-  Currach, Phoenix.  Tuesday evening a long discussion  took place relative to supplying a minister for-St. Andrews church, Phoenix,  and it was finally decided to send an  oidained missionary to this charge.* A  man who is said to be particularly  adapted to the west is being approached on the subject.

Thomas,   superintendent  of  the smelting  department  of the Dominion   Copper   Co.,   has   had   the  owners of possible smelter sites in the  Boundary on the qui vive for the  last  week or two, while he has been examining the various locations that were  offered.    He  spent  several   days   at  Grand Forks, looking into the advantages of a site not far from the present  Granby smelter, and some of the good  people of that town became so enthus  iastic over the matter that the report  was sent out that it had been  practically settled to locate the new smelting  works tbere. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd .\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"-.--. -'J'-.-j  This was evidently premature,  however, as the Pioneer has learned  this; week from, residents of Grand  Forks, and it is pretty safe to say that  no decision has yet been made in the  matter, nor will it be made till Mr.  Thomas' reports aie considered and  acted upon by the board of directors  of the company. Greenwood and  Midway are also in the running, and  the Pioneer learns from a source considered reliable that Phoenix itself is  being seriously considered by the company as a suitable smelter site.  As a rule, in the past Phoenix has  not considered itself in the.running for  the location of smelters, but time  changes things sometimes, and it is not  outstdi? the realm of possibilities that  the saving made in ore freights by  locating the smelter in the valley below this city, would more than offset  the cost of bringing the coke and needed water supply to the smelter. It  would not be the first time that a smelter  had been built close to the main supply of ore. Advances are constantly  being made in smelter practice, and we  may realize one of them within sight  of the place where the mines are.  The sympathy of many friends is extended to W. S. Macy and wife this  week over the death of their little twin  daughter, Winnifred Scott, who passed  away early Tuesday morning from  meningitis. The funeral was held  Wednesday afternoon, Rev. C. W.  Whittaker officiating, the burial taking  place in Phoenix cemetery. The little  one was about six months old.  A new time table went into effect on  the Great Northern last Sunday. The  only difference to Phoenix is that the  incoming train, formerly scheduled to  arrive here at 5.30 (and which really  arrived about 6.00 p.m.) now gets here  at six o'clock\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhen on time.

This play is one  of the recent metropolitan successes,  and'will be presented with the same  careful attention. to detail that marked  its New York management. M'. Nelson will have, in Prince Ot'o a role  peculiarly suited to his temperament,  and one in which his finished art  should show to great advantage.  Mr. Walker has furnished his star  with a production complete in every  way, the scenery being new and elaborate. The \"costumes have been designed wifh considerable care, and  should add largely to the beauty ofthe  performance.

K1\ufffd\ufffd,akx, atcit-ui ,  jNew Westminster, B. C.  Last week the Observer laid down  lhe paste brush and scissors, left the  Pioneer to take care of itself for a season\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand, incidentally, it seems to  have had pretty good care\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand with  his better half and daughter, hied .himself away'to\" Portland to tha Lewis and  Clark Fair. A good many persons in  the Kootenay and Boundary- have already attended the fair, and others are  contemplating doing so in the month  remaining that it will be open, so that  possibly a few observations on this  event, the most important of its kind  that ever took place on the; Pacific  coast, will be of interest.  '\";':\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\".  <Mf  In the first place, word had gone  forth in some places that everything  is high priced at Portland, and that  from the time you alight from the rail  way,trains it is one colossal graft, with'  the visitor paying the piper. : Well, it  is undoubtedly true that the grafters  have congregated there in all their  might and glory, and that opportunities present themselves on every hand  for plying their vocations. But it does  not by any. means follow that every  resident of Portland should be placed  in this category. In fact, the man of  average intelligence can do the fair and  do it at reasonable rates. Of course,  the capitalist,can find accommodations  thatvhe will Be.pefmitted to pay $5 or  $10 or\/mbfe per; day for, to say nothing of his eati'ng and drinking in the  meantime, but \"the person of moderate  means can find.good accommbdatidns  at reasonable rates,- say from $r per  day up\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor for that matter, down.    ...  Some, hotels'in Portland have raised  their rates:to the limit, and they are  doing . business, too, with those-who  care nothing for money, but there are  hundreds of places where one can be  accommodated .comfortably 'and Reasonably, without feeling that he is  practically buying a good p;irt of the  establishment. As a matter of record,  while the fair itself is a great success,  financially and otherwise, preparations  were made for so many more than, at  tended that there should be no trouble  whatever on this score to any man or  woman of average intelligence.  And right there is where you can be  buncoed good and strong, if. .'.'you give  yoinself but half a chance. There are  all kinds o.' side shows, schemes and  joints, the sole object of which is to  gather the two bit pieces from the  curious and unwary, with barkers and  spielers who understand their business  Some of the shows of the Trail are  credifable, but most of the'm will not  be missed if they are passed by; entirely. The entire Trail is merely an  amusement feature of the fair, and not,  per se, a part of the exhibition.  While we were there, a band of ig-  gorotes from the Phillippiries were  placed on exhibition, about 25 of them,  of which eight are women; -They are  said to, ,be head hunters and dog  eaters. For the former one must take  their word, but ofthe latter they gave  ocular demonstration, for, that after:  noon they had a choice supper of ten  der Portland puppy served, the slaughtering, cooking and eating being done  in view of the visitors. These people  may be interesting, but they do not  spend much on clothes, as a postage  stamp would cover the entire attir\"  of any one of them. In this way, they  are   not   troubled   about   the   latest  fashions.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Almost every day some organization,  society, state or city has a special  gathering at the fair, and the fair management does everything possible to  make them feel at home.' . For instance, while we were there, the letter  carriers of the United St.ites held their  annual meeting at Portland, and they  did not .walk, either. Hundreds of  them were in evidence. The city bf  Tacoma made a great showing on the  day assigned, and advertised that place  in good shape. Seattle did the same,  while this week Spokane is- showing  the webfooters a thing or two about  advertising a progressive city. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'Thu\ufffd\ufffd,  it was'a continual succession of ^matters of this kind, with the probability  of meeting some one you knew, but  had not seen for years, at every turn.  At least, that was our exptiience. .'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.

In  other . words,   although -comparatively  close to us, is it worth the expense and  trouble to visit it ?.    To this query we  would   unhesitatingly   pronounce   an  affirmative.    If one has been fortunate  enough to have visited the1  St.  Louis,  Chicago  or   the   Buffalo fairs of past  years,   and   then,   goes   to  Portland,  wh:ch,   from   the   vtry   nat r_-  o* the  case,   can   hardly   be on such a vast  scale as those referred to; he is  apt   to  ;.;et  the idea that the Lewis and Clark  fair is a small -concent;   and   therefore  .to. think lightly of.it. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd   We will vrninre-  ihe remark, however;,that.not dire'in a  hundred of the attendants at the Portland fair sees the entire   fair\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfor  the  simple reason 4hat to'doit justice one  should spend at least a  month   there.  And   even \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd then   he   would hardly be  able to .see.eveiything to.  be   seen   in  the splendid exhibition iri the Or-sgon  metropolis.  '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd..\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-.. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd -  The fair in itself'is ati education,  ,and a broad one at.that\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-an education  that no one should, miss-if it is\" at all  possible to lake it in before, the close.  Exhibits are there fro.n .all over the  world, and a study of them in detail is  an education in itself.: \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The various  United States are, of course, well represented, especially the western portion, while the oriental countries also  show up strong, especially the Japanese.  Mt  One thing was particularly noticeable,, and that was the absence of any  representative exhibit from the province of British Columbia. Ii is to be  sincerely regretted that this province  could not have had due representation  there, for it never had a better chance  in the world to bring its splendid resources to the attention of people of  means. As for minerals from British  Columbia, there were a few ,hid away  in corners of pther exhibits, which  could be found if time were taken. For  instance, we actually saw a small piece  of ore that was labelled, \"Stemwinder,  Greenwood, B. C.\" A proper exhibit  of our mineral, lumbering, agricultural  and fishing resources would have done  incalculable good to this province, as  thousands would have seen it that have  heretofore hardly heard ofthe province.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Of course, a visit to the fair would  hardly be complete without seeing tha  so-called attractions of the Trail, which  is the equivalent of the Pike and the  Midway  at  St.   Louis  and  Chicago.  ' If asked as to what Was tha most interesting thing to be seen at the-fair,  the question would not be easy to  answer. The government building  and contents come well up in the list,  while one's \"eyes are opened at the  forestry building and a number of the  state buildings and exhibits, to . say-  nothing ofjtfiose from, across the. sea.  Then, the fireworks seen every week  are well worthy a visit, as well as the  flying machine'that makes exhibitions  frequently. 'In the city of Portland  itself, also, there are innumerable matters of interest, when it is remembered  that it is the oldest city on the north  Pacific coast.  As to the choice of routes to visit  the, Portland fair, one .can have quite a  variety. . From this part of ' British  Columbia, the C.P.R. will take you  down there for $21.15, v'a Arrow  lakes, Revelstoke, Vancouver, Victoria  und Seattle, which gives the business  m.m an enjoyable trip and a chance to  see the wholesalers at Vancouver and  Victoria. If time is an object, however, the Great Northern will take you  from the Kootenay or Boundary for  $22.50, via Spokane and-Seattle. Or  one can go from Spokane via the O.,  RV & N. direct to Portland, leaving  out Seattle on the trip. The head C.  P.R. officials did not think they would  get much Portland traffic from this  country, because their route was some-  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhat longer. But, as a matter of fact,  that l:ne.has done a big business, and  justified the judgment of Passenger  Agent Carter in making the special  rate.  Cheap Rates lo Caast.  ' Are you going to Portland Fair ? If  so. why not go while the Dominion  Exhibition is on at New Westminster,  and take in both fairs for the price of  one ? The Canadian Pacific will issue  tickets to Portland and return for  $21.15, good for 30 days, and to New  Westminster on Sept. 25th to Oct 4th  inclusive, good to return till Oct. n,  for $19.30 from Phoenix with corresponding rates from other Kootenay  points. Commencing Sept. 26th and  continuing daily till Oct. 26th, sleeper  will be run between Arrowhead and  Vancouver for the accommodation of  Kootenay passengers.

Miss Edna Moore, 46 Elm street, Buffalo, N.
