The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916. The Pioneer was published by the Pioneer Publishing Company, which was managed by W. B. Wilcox (from 1899-1908) and Thomas Alfred Love (from 1908-1911). On August 12th, 1910, the headquarters of the Pioneer burned down, together with a large portion of the town of Phoenix itself, and the paper consequently suffered serious financial difficulties. On April 11th, 1911, the Pioneer was sold to Gilbert Kay, who published and edited the paper until May 1916.

THE BIG STORE The ratepayers of Greenwood voted practically unanimously in favor of the proposed $50,000 bonus to be paid by that city to the Greenwood-Phoenix tramway company. On Wednesday of this week the vote was 116 to 2. Only those who owned property in that city were privileged to vote and 25 percent, of the total number were women. - Under the by-law the bonus, which is in the form of debentures to be paid by the city, is to be paid in three instalments, $15,000 at 3000 feet, $15,- 000 at 6000 feet and the balance when the city limits of Phoenix are reached. The first 3000 feet must be constructed by November r, 1911. The construction of the big Greenwood-Phoenix tramway has already commenced. The machinery and plant is already on the ground and operations begun. The plant formerly used at the Crescent mine has been pressed into service, and current from the Bon- nington Falls electric company will supply power. A syndicate of New York and Chicago capitalists have underwritten the amount required to construct the bore and results should soon be ootained. The undertaking is one that involves no great difficulties and the ground is proven, so that those here who are conversant with the propetties along the route of the bore; qr tunnel have little doubt of its success. The belt Oi mineralized zone lhat the bore crosscuts is one that has had considerable work done on it in a more or less crude and expensive way, yet it has produced over $900,000. The citizens of Greenwood have had a year to consider the feasibility and probable success of the bore, and their unanimous indorsation of the project will undoubtedly carry weight with every one who is not familiar with the camp. The exploring at the Greenwood and Phoenix camps to the depth of over 2000 feet will start deep mining in the Boundary district and open up immense possibilities for mining and will undoubtedly attract the attention of the mining world. The company is fortunate in the selection of a site to start the bore. The Strathmore mine, where the portal of the tunnel will be, has the record of producing the richest and finest ore in British Columbia, having won the cup at the annual exhibit, at Nelson, and also having won the cupat the Spokane, exposition, in competition with the high-grade gold and silver mines of Idaho, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. The tunnel will reach the number one vein of the Strathmore mine, from which very rich ore has been shipped, in eight hundred feet, and will crosscut seventeen other veins in the first section of the bore, which is six thousand feet. These veins have been proven in depth from 100 to 600 feet. Some eight thousand tons have been shipped from this belt and averaged over $100. In the past, owing to the crude and small way they have been operating, the mining has been expensive, costing over $4.0 per ton, and smelting and freight charges have averaged $15 per ton. The company with a consolidation of these properties, and a deep tunnel to handle and mine the ore, can easily reduce the cost of mining to $10 per ton and the cost of freight and smelting j can be reduced to $7 or $8 a ton. In time the company will probabTy-Have sufficient tonnage to build its own smelter. A lead smelter for highgrade ores at Greenwood would get a great deal of custom ore and stimulate the development of gold and silver mining all over the Boundary country. A great many in the Boundary thought the bore or tunnel would never be started as the syndicate's representative stated about eighteen months ago that they would be at work in a few months then, and as time went by and nothing was done people here began to lose faith. We understood, however, that the company had great difficulty in getting the different mine owners to go into the consolidation on anything like reasonable terms. Aside fi.om this the company has had its mining engineers carefully examining a great many of the mining tunnels on the continent, such as the Newhouse, the Sutro, the Two Brothers at Vir ginia camp, Cal., the Capital Prize at at Georgetown, Cal., the Zak at Lead ville, the Roosevelt deep tunnel at Cripple Creek, and others. The com- panyappear to havedone all thatcarefui, shrewd business men might be expected to do before going into an enterprise of such magnitude and this augurs well for the future success of the project, j and as we want no failures in this coun- [ try we are pleased to know that such! precaution has been taken. The tun-; nel will be built large enough to carry 1 ten thousand tons per day, and beyond \ the first section will carry ore on a! tonnage and freight basis. It will not \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD only be a tunnel but a tramway also,! for the canying of ores from the dif-j ferent mines contiguous to the: route of j the bore. 1909 SHOWS BIG INCREASE The ore shipments from Boundary mines-for-the first three months of this year show an increase of'136,979 tons, or about 50 per cent, over those of 1908 . During the past three months the Boundary mines' shipments totalled 401,560 tons as follows : . r \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' Granby.\"..

During the first three months of 1909 Granby tonnage was as follows : January, 76,- 564; February, 82,74i-;--March, 80,921: or a total of 240,226 tons, as compared with 264,581 tons during the same period in 1908. .,--.. . - > The Granby mine shipments^during- the first five months last year represented practically the entire ore output of the Boundary, so that the shipments of the Mother^ Lode, Oro Denoro and Snowshoe mines more than account 'for the increased\tonnage this year. , NEW IDEAS GRANBY'iS TWO NEW FURNACES IN OPERATION A. B. W. Hodges, general superintendent of the Granby company, was in town on Wednesday on one of his periodical visits to the mines. Asked by the Pioneer as to the cur tailing of ore : hipments, Mr. Hodges stated that the present condition of the copper morkct b\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDH much to do with it, and had a similar effect on many of the large producers in the United States. The Granby management have decided on remodeling the smelter furnaces, two at a time, which cuts the ore re quirements down 25 per cent. Ore shipping will be discontinued from the Gold Drop for probably a couple of months, and operations concentrated in other parts of the mines. At the smelter the remodelling and enlarging of the second furnace was completed last week, and work on No. 3 and 4 commenced this week. It will require two months to complete these, when, if copper is still low, said Mr. Hodges, work on another two furnaces will begin, while if the red metal should go up in price, the balance of the battery will be remodeled one at a time. When six furnaces are enlarged they, will have the same capacity as the entile battery of ei^ht formerly had. Referring to the two furnaces already completed, Mr. Hodges said they were giving excellent satisfaction, and on Monday treated 530 tons of ore- each. This, however, was a favorable run. While the tonnage treated at the smeller is largely Granby ore, which is self-fluxing, the smelter has been receiving shipments from a number of small properties, among them being the Republic, Surprise, Lone Pine and Surgeon, in Washington state, and the Golden Eagle, on the North Fork. These are frequently termed high grade properties, being operated for the recovery of gold and silver, still, excepting the Republic, the ore runs on an average of only $55 t0 $4\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD to the ton. The Republic, however, has produced some splendid high grade ore. At Granby mines shipping was discontinued on Tuesday from the Gold Drop, one of the four outlets of the big producer. A larger farce has been put to work in other patts of the property, and tbe output at the Victoria shaft, No. 2 and 3 tunnels are being increased to meet the present requirements of the smelter. The cessation at the Gold Drop will last (or about six weeks or two months. The C.P.R., which carried all tbe ore from the Gold Drop will now carry an increased tonnage from the Victoria shaft. It is the intention to operate regularly every Sun day in future.

The success of such an undertaking must lie in proving the existence of ore veins at depth. Competent mining experts have made a careful study of the project during the past year, and not only claim the tunnel a feasible means of estracting ore from certain properties, but pronounce it a sound-business proposition*. Th'e-mineraTbelt through which the proposed tunnel is to pass has un doubtedly some splendid surface showings, but the leads have invariably proved faulty. The only deep mining in this province is at Rossland, and. the history of some of the properties na that camp -is interesting in this connection. The Le Roi Two, originally known as the Josie, after being, developed 300- feet was pronounced a failure, the lead having pitched out; yet when taken hold of and backed by capital it has proved a bonanza, earning enormous dividends. At the War Eagle, in the same camp, which was thought to have been worked out, an ore shoot 40 feet wide and 500 feet long, said to average $35 to the ton, was opened up lastj week on the 1600-foot level. This would indicate that deep mining in British Columbia pays, and pays richly. The ore is said to run down similarly in the Coeur d' Alenes. It eiiher increases -in size or in value, and of'en both. Thesuccessof the tunnel will be the proving of the country and its* effects will be far reaching.

The Low Grade Ores of the Boundary District By A. B, W. HODGRS The -Boundary country first became f a producer of copper in 1900, but it was not until the following year that this young and low-grade district began to contribute to the copper production of Canada. . j In 1900 British Columbia produced about 10,000,000 lb. of copper, while in 1901, 27,600,000 lb. were produced, due almost entirely \"to the increased production of the Boundary mines. Since, the tot il production of copper has annually advanced until the year 1906, when nearly 43000,- 000 pounds were produced, and of this amount 32,000,000 was from the Boundary mines. The copper production of the Boundaiy in 1907 was within half a million pounds of the previous year, the decrease being as- cribable to the shutting down of some of the mines part of the time due to the exceedingly low price of copper. When it is remembered that the total production of copper in the Dominion for 1907 was about 57,000.- 000 lb., it will be seen that the Boundaiy mines proJuce over one-half the total copper output of this country. The ores of the Boundary not only carry copper, but also some values in silver and gold, and during 1907 these values amounted to nearly $2,000,000, which, together with the copper, made a combined value in ores mined in the district during that year of $8,299,000, or about 44 per cent, of the total value of all melals produced in the province. The reason that Boundary ores are re ferred to as \"low grade\" is : The total metal values as extracted by smelting amount to $4 to $6 50 per ton, de- penjing on the price of copper, the gold and silver values alone being from $. to $1.50. In order to mine, transport, smelt and sell the metals in eastern markets, and still make a reasonable profit on ore of this low value,' we must necessarily have special and favorable conditions. That these conditions are met with in-the Boundary district to a peculiar degree is manifest; since at>no other mining district in Canada, and at only one or two places in the United States or Mexico, is such low grade ore profitably mined and smelted. The favorable conditions referred to apply to both the mining and smelting. In the fiist place the ore bodies are wide, being anywhere from 50 to 300 ft.; they are also from several hundred to several thousand feet long and generally have enormous outcrops on \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe surface. ' This makes mining development comparatively simple and inexpensive, as most of the surface ore at 100 ft. or more is mined by open pits. Then again in connection with underground mining operations, little or no timbering is required, due to the natural construction of the ore and rock to hold itself, if sufficient pillars are left. Our ore is reasonably soft, drills comparatively easily and bieaks well. Also we mine on a large scale anywhere from 1000 to 4000 tons per day, and consequently have large and economical equipment, aided also by the use of electricity in all departments. Our ground is comparatively dry, thus doing away with the necessity of expensive pumping equipment. Not only are we especially favored in respect of mining conditions, but this also applies to smelting. All copper ores in this district are what is known as self-fluxing : that is, their chemical composition is such, that fed into a blast furnace with little or no outside flux, and with the addition of the proper amount of coke, they make a good blast furnace slag. Also the ores carry only sufficient sulphur to make a matte suitable to convert at once without a second smelting. Below is given an analysis of a sample of Granby ore which approxi mately reprcents the entire ore body : Silica ,., 38, , Iron '. i7. Lime 18.

In smelting Boundary ores the pre liminary steps toward making blister copper, which is our final product, are few and simple. In case of the two largest companies the ore is crushed at the mines to a suitable size for the blast furnace, is loaded into 50-ton steel 01 e cars and transported to the .smelter, where it is dropped into, ore bins and one car in 8 or 10 is taken and recrushed and sampled to ascer tain values. These bins are from 30 to 40 ft. above, the furnace charging floor. Charging cars moved by electric locomotives are filled with ore from these bins, and with the proper quantity of coke, are fed into the blast furnaces. The- melted slag and matte flow continuously from a cocled-water spout into a settler, and the matte separates on account of its gravity, and the slag flows into an extra tettler and direct to the cast iron slag cars, by which it is conveyed to the. dump. The matte is tapped from the bottom of the settler in a molten state, is poured into a converter, where it is blown to blister copper. It will be seen from the above, that the smelting process in the Boundary : is exceedingly simple as compared with pactice elsewhere, and we are enabled by the use of large capacities and strictly modern plant, to smelt at a very low cost. Another favorable factor is the prox imity of large coal areas, whence an abundant supply of excellent fuel is assured for smeiting purposes' For power generation, however, coal is not extensively used either at the mines or smelter, since all machinery is operated by electricity transmitted from a distance. In brief, it may be opined that in the Boundary distict, are not only the ore bodies unique, but the special con ditions favorable to their utilization are also quite exceptional. By low-grade Boundary ores is meant the low grade ores derived from the limited area in the vicinity of Phoenix, and from the Mother Lode and Oro Denoro mines skuated only a few miles from Phoenix in the Boundary district. These ores, concei ning which I have prepared the above notes, cover, as I have already observed, a very limited area, and at the smelters now] in operation, they are smelted in the furnaces with the proper amount of coke. From 10,000,000 to 30,000,000 tons of these low grade ores are in sight in the Boundary district. I have remarked in my paper that we do not use flux but we do. In smelting from 3000 to 4000 t >ns of ore a day we use a little ore from outside mines as a flux, but it is a very sm >ll quantity--from 5 to 10 tons\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand this,moreover,temporary. We are further fortunate in being favored with an ample supply of the best coking coal in the Northwest, which is being obtained from a coal field not very far from our mineral area. In resppct to the surface of our> deposit, I may say that in some places it is of about the same ihhness as Is the case in the lower levels of the mine. As a matter nf fact, however, most of our surface ores are really poorer than those which are found at a lower depth. We have in one of our mines 10,- 000,000 tons of good ore, whereas, I may sav, that.the ore for a distance of 50 ft. down from the surface was rather poor; but that occurred in our first development work. We had to handle ores of every low grade, while at the snme we were forced to treat a very large tonnage, and these ores were of the same character as that in the open- cut. We put to work a steam shovel capable of handling 700 to 800 tons of ore per day, and in that manner developed that portion of the mine very quickly; while by adding quite largely to the capacity of our furnaces we got the cost of smelting down to such an extent that we were able to make a profit. I may further state that anywhere Irom 40 to 50 ft. underground, and clear down to the lowest levels the ore in the mine is very uniform, both in composition and quality. We have mined out in one year say from 800,- 000 to 900,000 tons of ore. If the price of copper were always the same the result of the year's operations would not vary as much as 15 cts. per ton, while the whole of the main bed of ore will not vary more than 2% silica, nor 1% lime, nor even as much as 1% sulphur. Underground we use ordinarily 3^- in drills which are driven by compressed air, i. e., they are driven by an air pressure of 80 or 90 lb. per sq. in. at the drill. We make use of a few hammer drills, which are usually employed only by timbermen. We use neither plates nor conveyors in the stopes or t innels of the mine. All the work is done by driving large tunnels to the first, second, and third levels in the ore to from 40 to 50 ft. apart, and putting in inclined raises to the stopes above and on both sides 01 the tunnels, afterwards meeting overhead, while the ore is rolled into the gravity chutes, our controlling power being electricity. Big ore cars carry 10 tons, and the small cars 5. The ore after it is brought but of the mine is immediately passed throughlrte Tock crusher, for' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwe find it to be moreecomical to break the ore into smaller sizes ; after which it is taken to the smelter, while every time it is handled a few cents extra are added to t)ie operating costs. The ore is taken to the crusher when it leaves the mine workings, while from the crusher it passes along the conveyer belt, which is 42 in. wide with about 241 ft. centres. This belt conveys the crushed ore from the crusher to the storage bins, from which it is loaded into railway 50-ton cars for hauling to the smelter. I may add that we have one of the largest belts to be found. It has been in'use a year or two, and has pr ved very satisfactory. Belts are, in my opinion, a great deal better than elevators, for on a. belt there is ample room to pla'-e the ore while you are not compelled to raise it too high. And, besides, in the case of elevators the wear and tear is very excessive, which is especially true when you use one of large capacity. Regarding the question of whether one large settler is better than two separate and smaller settlers, which would allow the slag to flow to the same number of feet, we think that the flow of slag should be stopped and the matte allowed to settle. Where we count upon catching most matte is in the first settler and less in the second, and still less in the third settler, if we had one. Our appreciation of the situation is that the saving effected through the use of additional settlers does not amount to anything commercially valuable. With the use of two settlers the case is somewhat different, as in this manner it is found that quite a little bit of money can be saved. As a matter of fact we were the first in the Boundary country to use two settlers, as the ordinary custom had previously been to make use of only one, with a large pot to catch anything that should Buster'a Philosophy.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtXIV.

L. Lewis, president of the 'United Mine Workers of America, has overruled the action of Frank Sherman, president of district 18, in calling a strike of certain coal miners in Alberta and British Columbia because th> operators' association refused to give an agreement simi'ar to that of the Crows Nest CoaVcbmpany. Mr. Lewis says expressly that the agreement which was endorsed by the unions would be sianed by the representative of the United Mine Workers, thus showinr that Mr. Sherman has neither the moral nor financial support of the headquarters of the organization. Meanwhile all members but those employed by the Ciows Nest company are out, but a settlement is expected on the arrival of Mr. Lewis, who is on his way to look into the situation.
