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.

Paper Read Before Institution ^ of Mining and Metallurgy. The following quottion is from a paper on \"A visit to mineral districts of Canada\" read before the Instituiion of Mining and Metallurgy, by William Frech^ville, past president, and Hugh F. Marriott, member, of council, who were among the mining experts that made a tour through Canada last September. Their reference to\" observations made on Boundary mining follows: 'From Rossland we proceeded to Greenwood, and visited the mine and smelter belonging to the B. C. Copper company. The mine is on what is known as the Mother Lode, and ,is exploiting a large; body of ore! about 190 feet wide, having a known length of about 1,200 feet. The hanging wall is ot greenstone and the foot wall limestone. \"The ore appears to be altered greenstone, in which spots of iron' pyrites here and there occur. The value is said to run from -1.5 to\"1.75 per cent of copper and about $1.50 in gold and silver. \"That it should be possible to work commercially such an ore ind cates the very favorable conditions that exist. The'workings are partly opencast and partly underground, and no timbering is used, the ore being worked out'in chambers; leaving intervening pillars. The ore is self-fluxing. \"An output of 1,600 tons a day is being made from the Mother Lode, and about 400 tons a day are obtained from other mines, so that the tonnage smelted amounts to about 2,000 tons a day. The smelter is situated about four miles from the mines. There are three furnaces 20 feet long by four feet wide, putting through a little over 600 (tons a dky^eaclu \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAbouu-i?J^ per cent of coke is^ used, costing $6.50 per ton. The matte runs from 45 to i 50 per cent nf copper, and is besse- merized and the black copper shipped \"The next mine visited in the district was the Gr.inby, which conducts one of the largest low grade mining and smelting operations in the world. The plant is now being increased to treat 5000 tons a day. The ore dips at about 40 degrees and several drives are made on each level, from which the stopes are carried up at an artificial angle to enable the material to be run into the tiucks by gravity. \"The operations ' here consist of blasting down the ore which gravitates into the trucks and is drawn out of the mines by electric traction. It is then run on a down grade to the smelter, and passing through jaw cruchers, four of which handle the entire output, it is mixed with coke and dumped into the furnaces. The ore, which contains r.5 to 1.75 per cent copper and $1.50 in gold and silver, and is entirely self-fluxing, and it is due to this natural advantage that this extremely low grade is profitably worked. The smelter is at present treating 3,500 tons a day. There are eight furnaces, 14 per cent coke being added to the charge. The resultant matte is 40 to 45 per cent; the slag which contains 0.3 per cent coppe*, ca ries 45 per cent silica. The Bessemer prccess completes the operation necessary to turn out marketable copper. An interesting detail with regard to the copper here \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDas the system of charging; the trucks containing the various materials being run right into the furnaces, there being auxiliary wheels on the'upper part of the sides of the trucks, which engage with rails on the furnace waits. They say they mine the ore in the-morning and send the copper away as 99 per cent black copper in the evening, and although this may not be strictly accurate, it substantially illustrates the unusual simplicity and celerity of the operations.\" ELSA SCHAFENBERG, SOP..ANO, WITH KAKL RIEDKLSBERGER Tbe Canadian Mining Institute. (Mining Science) When it comes to making institute meetings interesting and instructive, ihe Canadian Mining Institute has a a very happy faculty of accomplishing it. In the meeting of the Western Branch at Greenwood, B. C, the papers presented were directly related to the special district and were made more instructive and valuable by the material illustration afforded. The institute is to be congratulated on its wide-awake committees.

Important Mining Deal The most important mining deal that has been put through in Nelson for some years was completed Wednesday when the papers were signed giving the Consolidated Mining and Smelting company of Trail a two and a half year bond on the Queen Victoria mine at Beasley, eight miles west of that city, the party giving the bond being J. P. Svvedberg, the well known mining man. It is the intention of the Consolidated company to put the mine in operation with the least possible delay. As all the necessary plant and machinery are in position it will not, therefore, be long before shipments start. Oreenwood Get* Smith Cup The cup offered by O. B.

Karl Riedelsberyer, the world renownedPrussian......violinist, acknowledged by competent critics tu be the best all-round master of the violin in the United States, now on his transcontinental tour, has been engaged to give two concerts in the Phoenix opera house on Monday and Tuesday even- ings next. To speak concerning Mr. Riedelberger's ability and skill as an artist is as difficult as attempting to paint the lilies, so we waive every attempt to that effect, suffice it to say that Mr. Riedelsberger was the teacher of A. D. Strutzel of this city, that he has played in Thomas'orchestra of Chicago for five years, that he has been concert master of the Philarmonic orchestra of Chicago for nine years, and that, in short, he has spent 31 years of his life in perfecting and preparing himself for the unique and enviable position that he holds today among the violinists of the world.

Phoenix hockey team went to Greenwood on Tuesday evening to play a scheduled game with the team of that city. When the game was in progress about a quarter of an hour, and each of the teams had scored two goals, two of the players got into a dispute which precipitated the entire lineups of both teams in a free-for-all scrap, and brought air the spectators on the jump across the ice. The fifteen minutes of play resembled a slugging match more than anything else, and it was evident the Greenwood players were intent on winning the match at any cost, or at least maiming their opponents so that Phoenix would lose the game with Grand Forks two nights later. Greenwood had no chance for the Boundary trophy, but its envious spirit against Phoenix predominated. This is not the first hockey match between these two teams that has ended in this way, and it would appear that both teams are ready for renewed war. LAROE merger plan A Ten Million Dollar Company after Orient Mine* and Norlbport Smelter There arc deals within deals being negotiated for properties on First Thought hill, says the Orient Journal. Efforts by those who are on the inside of a big consolidation scheme are being made to create slumps in mining stocks in order to gobble it up cheap, and subsidiary mining syndicates are being formed. It is rumored that all these manouvers are principally the agencies of a strong English syndicate who are to acquire the Northport smelter, the First Thought mine, and merge other properties in the Orient camp. To give color to this rumor word comes from Washington, D.C, to. the effect that a company has been formed there with a capitalization of $10,000,000 to consolidate all the mines in the Orient camp under one management, and to operate its own smelters, mills, etc. Dealb of Mrs. Woocter. The news of the death in Grand Forks on Thursday of Mrs. Wooster, wife of G. W. Wooster, treasurer of the Granby company, was a shuck to her many friends. Mrs. Wooster had been suffering from tonsolitis, and had an operation performed on her throat on Wednesday, but little danger was anticipated. Complications set in, however, and the best medical skill proved of no avail, death occurring early on Thursday morning. The remains were taken to Spokane yesterday for burial J. E. Mclntyre of Mother Lode has returned from a trip to the coast. REPORT OF AN EXAMINATION OF THE PROPERTIES MADE BY F. A. PROVOST, A PROM- INENT MINING ENGINEER LAST JUNE /! In the report of the financial and physical condition of the Dominion Copper company, issued by the reorganisation committee, the report of F. A.Provot, a prominent mining engineer, who examined the properties last June, is given as follows: '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIn the Rawhide and Idaho claims the Dominion Chopper Co. has at the present time an ore reserve that.can fairly be estimated at between 2 and 3 millio\" tons. This ore will in all probability average about as follows: Gold $1.00 Silver 18 Copper 22 lbs. and should give a net recovery of about 17 lbs. of copper and .$1.15 gold and silver to the ton. During the operations for the year ending July 31st, 1907, the recovery from the ores treated was: Gold .....!. $1.04 Silver........... .15 approve Copper .....'.. . 15.5 lbs. per ton and the copper recovery was a little lower tharf rr.y estimate of what can be done because of the unnecessary prop rtion of flux (Sunset ore), which was used in the attempt to keep up a larger production than the mines could supply. During the same period, on a production ot 188,000 tons, the smelting costs averaged $1.78, and the mining costs $1.98 per ton. The lowest cost at which copper was produced was .1396 cents in August, 1906. Owing to the very obscure methods of segregating capital disbursements and oper nting charges, it is almost impossible to state what was the average cost of copper for that period. However, operating under the most favorable economical conditions, and treating a tonnage of not less than 300,000 tons per annum, the following costs may be approximated: ' .. ' Cost mining per ton ore $1.25 \".' smelting per ton ore ..... 1 38 \"j converting, refining and ^ 1 TriarTceting, as'^^ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD - with B.C. Copper Co. at 3c. per lb. 17 lbs..... 51 Total cost ;... Deduct value gold and silver. $3-14 r 00 Cost 17 lbs. copper netted by each ton of ore $2.14 Copper per lb 12 On a 15c. copper market the profit per ton would be about 40c, and the yearly operations would yield a profit of $120,000. The property, however, is in no shape to mine and treat 1000 tons of ore daily, without which tonnage no reasonable costs can be attained. The Rawhide and Idaho mines from which practically all the ore must come, are new mines and not yet opened up sufficiently with extraction drifts and raises to ensure low mining costs. To get a low mining cost here it is necessary to extract a large tonnage from one or two openings so that hoisting, pumping, tool sharpening, superintendence, etc., will be a minimum. As the property stands now it has no reserves nor known ore bodies of any consequence, outside of the Rawhide and Idaho, and these bodies, though large are now limited to 3 million tons or so, as they both pass into adjoining territory. On their showing alone the company would not be warranted jn expending the large sums \"necessary to properly remodel their smelter, or to build a new one. In deposits of such low grade, steady operation on a large scale is imperative and; the keynote of success. To ensure this a very large quantity of ore must be available, and available in large bodies, not in scattered deposits of small size, otherwise the cost of development, dead work and plant, at each mine is too large a charge against the smaller tonnage. The policy of this company, therefore, should be to open up its reserves on the Idaho and Rawhide, and prospect all of its territory for additional ore bodies, mining each in turn on as large a scale as possible. An expenditure of $5o,6oc\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD$60,090. should suffice to properly develop these reserves, and to do some diamond drill work and prospecting on the rest of their holdings. ~ Tne territory between.the Brooklyn, and the Stem winder, the Montezuma claim and the Crown Silver is all good prospecting ground. The Mother Lode workings of the B. C. Copper company are within a few feet ot the Crwn Silver mine, and it is quite probable that the mineralization extends into the latter claim. The present smelter is nominally capable of treating 1,000 tons daily, but is ill designed and uneconomical. With'the mines in their present condition it would not be advisable to try to treat much more than 600 tons daily until such time as more stopes and rakes are opened up. The developments at the mines during the past year have been, considerable, and they have been well equipped with a new compressor plant, hoists, etc., so that the further necessary expense will be confined to the under-- ground development and prospecting referred to above. '\" \": '\"'- In short, with the present condition bf the mines and smelter there is no profit in sight under 15c. copper, and the reserves do not warrant large capital disbursements to enlarge the plant to a 2,000 ton basis on which lower costs could be obtained. The best policy at present would seem to be one ot development and prospecting with the view of developing more ore to enable a profitable sale of the property or its development to a point that would warrant operations on a much larger scale.\" Justice Clement in the Supreme Court at Vancouver has refused on technical grounds to give judgement in suit for $'5,000,000 instituted by National Trust Co. of Toronto acting for New York bondholders, against Dominion Copper company. Prospects for a mine on the Wood- burn property continue to improve and the promoters are most optimistic. At a meeting of the directors held on FeD. 23 rd it was decided to increase the price of stock from ten to fifteen cents per share, to take effect on March 10th. ur^5HSa5a5HSSSa5HSSSE5a52SSS25rir^ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD BOUNDARY ORE TONNAGE.

The Fink process in Utah, which is being tried out by Samuel Newhouse of Salt Lake City, has claimed a good deal of attention, and the Tredinnick & Wetzstein process of desilverizing lead ore is coming to the front under tests being made at the Omaha smelting plant of the American Smelting & Refining company, and now there is some talk of a new concentrating process that is being tried out in the Butte camp by the East Butte Copper Mining company. It is claimed that a test run was recently made with the new method concentrator, with results that demonstrate the feasibility of a principle that may revolutionize concentration. Much secrecy is observed where all of the new methods arc being tried. The East Butte system is said to be auto matic, very economical and simple and capable of concentrating the lowest gtades of copper ore. If the process is successful the East Butte company will hav<\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD in it an asset of. more value than the company's mines.

This hotel is without exception the first on the continent both in situation, appointments and service. Owing to the opening of the Alaska Yukon;lair, which takes place on June 1, and which will attract thousands of eastern visitors from Canada and the United States, it has been decided to open the hotel at Banff on May 15, or two weeks earlier than usual. Advices are that tourists who visited the Rockies and Selkirks last summer are planning return trips this yeai,and in many instances many of them have already applied for accommodation, extending over several weeks. Hundreds of Americans are also writing for information about mountain climbing and the Selkirk glacier and the Deutsch- j mann caves. If you know of an item or piece of news tell us about it. That's what we want. But a newspaper man sometimes experiences more difficulty in gathering%ews than one would imagine. This was the cas,e..when a reporter.in a neighboring town, who, a few days ago was sent to write a fire in a residence. Going to the door he inquired for the lady of the house. The maid said she was out. \"Are any of the family at home?\" inquired the scribe. \"No, they are all out,\" was the reply. \"Well, wasn't there a fire here last evening?\" \"Yes.\" said the hired girl, \"but that's out too.\" WOOD A large consignment ol Bourbon whiskies just received at the Brooklyn \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"Jessie Moore,\" \"Old Kentucky\" and \"Private Stock,\" all famed American whiskies. BAT SAUSAQES AND NEW BREAD Or Any Other Favorite Food Without fear of an Upset Stomach You can eat anything your stomach craves without fear of a case of Indigestion or Dyspepsia, or that your food will sour or ferment on your stomach if you will occasionally take a little Diapepsin after eating. Your meals will taste good, and anything you eat will be digested; 'nothing can ferment or turn into acid lor poison or stomach gas, which causes Belching, Dizziness, a feeling of fullness, after eating, Nausea. Indigestion (like a lump of lead in stomach), Biliousness, Heartburn, water brash, pain in stomach and intestines or other symptoms. Headaches from the stomach are absolutely unknown where this effective remedy is used. Diapepsin really does all the work of a healthy stomach. It digests your meals when your stomach can't. Each triangule will digest all the food you can eat and leave nothing to ferment or sour. Get a large 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from your druggist and start taking today and by tomorrow you will actually brag about your healthv, strong Stomach, for then you can eat anything and everything you want without the slightest discomfort or misery, and every particle of impurity and Gas that is in your stomach and intestines is going to be carried away; without the use of laxatives or any other assistance.

It is to be regretted that the hockey match Tuesday evening ended in unpleasantness. When a sporting event ends up in a fight it may safely be assumed that some of the parties were dishonest. The man who is tricky in a sporting event will be tricky in bust ness. If Phoenix and Greenwood hockeyists can't play straight they should quit. A crook in hockey is a crook in his life, and should be kicked out of the game, just for the same reason that a business man would discharge a thieving employee.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDLedge.
