"Devoted to the interests of the Boundary Mining District. 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 paper was published under a variant title, the Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal, both from 1903-1910 and from 1911-1912."@en . ""@en .

Brown, representing the Canadian Development Co. of Vancouver, went into Princeton and quietly stole a march on the mining enthusiasts of that burg who had not kept quite up to dale on tbe coal situation, says the Kamloops Standard.

It appears as though Ian RJe-r Laren's stoty of the Bonnie Briar Bush as dramatized by Jas. McArthiir will never grow old. Its success has been and is atill phenomenal, but it nevertheless is not a success that cannot be accounted for. Of all the good plays that have graced the stage The Bonnie Briar Bush is one of the purest and best. It is a story of human in'erest unfolding a life's chapter in the simple Scottish glen, so true to nature anc' life as to appeal with irresistible force to the audience. It is' fragrant with the heather of \"Bonnie Scotland,\" and is enlivened with pointed yet harmless Scottish wit. J. L. Mania io City J. L. Martin arrived in town from Spokane on Wednesday and has recently returned from a trip to his old home in Illinois. Mr. Martin attended the annual meeting of the Carney Copper company, of which he. is president, a few days ago, and also visited the mine at Mullan, Idaho, and is quite enthusiastic over the results of development work at the property and believes there is a great future for the Carney.

Father, mother, at Phoenix With the exception of those of the Granby company this mine is the largest in the Boundary district. GEOLOGY The ore occurs as an immense body, or series of bodies, 30 to 200 ft. in width, lying along the contact between a white crystalline on the west and footwall side, and a green fissile epi- dote\" materiaj, which may be either altered argilhte or greenstone-tuff, on the east. The strike of the orebody is a little east of north, corresponding with the direction of the principal fracture lines 'of the district, and its dtp is to the east at an angle varying from ss to 70 deg. The ore,, according to the members of the Geological Survey of Canada, is a metasomatic replacement of both wall roqks, The contact with the limestone is 1 sharp, but the line of demarcation from the other wall rock is merely commercial. The ore belongs to the class de scribed by the geologists as the \"mag netic\" type, and includes the minerals magnetite, chalcopynte and pyrite, with a yery little blende, galena, pyrrhotite, and an occasional trace of aisenopyrite, intermixed with calcite, actinolite, gat- minute, and the complete trip from the 400 ft. level is made in 35 seconds. The normal output of the shaft is 100 tons per hour, but this has more than doubled on occasion. The cage which is used for handling men and supplies is served by a James Cooper duplex 1 geared hoist, having rax 14 in. cylin ders, and a drum 4 ft. 6 in. in diameter with a 4-ft. face. Both hoisting engines a\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDe operated by compressed air at a pressure of from 90 to 100 lb. per sq. in., the air being taken directly from the 7-in. main leading to the compressor house 600 or 800 feet distant. The compressor house is beside a small creek and contains, in addittion to the compressors, a vertical, triplex single-acting, motor-driven pump which forces the water to the reservoirs 500 ft. higher. There are two air compressors : one an Ingersoll-Sergeant, 30 drill, Corliss compound steam, two- stage air compressor with piston intake, the other a Canadian Rand 40-drill, duplex, tandem, two stage air compressor. The first machine is now driven by a rope drive from a 500 h.p. Westinghouse alternating current motor making 247 r.p m. at full load, and of three each, the resulting raise vary- ing'ffom 8x12 ft. to 10x20 ft. in cross- section. If necessary, other holes are drilled in the roof to obtain tbe desired height. A %% in. Sullivan drill is employed, mounted on a 7-ft. column. mi When the raise Has been advanced about 50 ft., the direction of inclina tion is often reversed, and as it approaches the level above it'is flattened and brought around on the hanging wall side in the form of drift 01 cham ber at the top of the raise. The ore on the hanging-wall side is then drilled with machines set on tripods and blasted, after which the ore on the foot-wall is broken down in benches In some places the raises are nearly vertical, in others .they are of corkscrew shape In any case, the stoping begins at the top and is carried down by underhand work. Pillars are left throughout the mine, both longitudinally between the drifts, and transversely from wall to wall. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ^The early method of stoping was to take the ore out in rooms, 30 to 40 ft. square and 20 to 25 ft. in height, leaving vertical pillars between, but this was awkward and expensive, and was not long practised. In the present method of underhand work, drill steel 16 ft. in length is used both in the glory hole and in the stopes, and many holes are drilled before any are blasted. The holes are fired- simul- I DEANE'S HOTEL \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ^ DANNY DEANE, Proprietor. ^ g - =3 % This is the Largest and Newest Hotel in the city, heated by =| |= hot water and well furnished throughout for the accommodation =| |= of the public.

The ore here fiequentl) breaks in large blocks and these have to be bulldozed, either on the surface or in the chute. Where the blocks will pass the chute openings, which are 36x48 in., but are too large for the skips, they are removed from the cars near the shaft with a chain tackle and run by an overhead trolley to the adjoining chamber of an old stope, where short holes (5 to 6 in. deep) are put in with- a Murphy drill and blasted. By this method a half stick of dynamite will break- a rock which would require four or five sticks by bulldozing. The broken rock is thrown into the ore pocket at the shaft. The ore cars on this level are scoop- shaped, end-dumping, and hold 2^ tons. These are drawn in trains ol three or four by horses At the shaft the loaded cars are run by hand on an automatic dumping arrangement, Continued on Third Page The Strength Of An Ox One often hears about when one one is endowed with health, strength and vigor.

Ltd NOTES ON MOTHER LODE MINE (Continued from Second 1'iixc) whereby the car is dumped through the shock of the cat and weight of the ore and is returned empty to its original position l>y means of counterweights. Two men are required to handle the cars The ore drops into the shaft ore pockets, the gales of m Inch are about 45 ft, below. Thee gfites are of the finger type similar t<> those in use al the Granby mines, but differ slightly in the method of action. The four double finger are pivoted on a rod at the front of the chute and are raised by chains attached to the cross-bar of the piston of the air lift. On the inside ol the shaft timbers, at the mouth of the chute, is a larjje sheet-iron gate to catch the fine material which will pass between the fingers when ihe gate is closed. The sheet-iron gule is lul- anced by a weight and is raised and lowered by hand. This gate binds badly nhen there is a large amount of fines in the ore, and two men are required in loading the skip, whereas with the Granby type but one man is needed. . * On the other working levels, viz., 2oo, 300, and 400 ft. levels, the mine cars are side-dumping and have a V shaped bottom. These also hold 2^ tons, but are drawn by horses in trains of only two cars each. The loaded cars are drawn on a bridge spanning the ore pockets and there dumped by hand, while the horse returns along a shelf or drift cut at the side of the ore pocket for a passageway. The pockets are provided with gates similar to those on the 60-ft. level. The ore chutes throughput the mine are strongly made, being built to withstand much hard usage. The posts are stalls, 10 to 20 in. in diameter and up to 20 ft. in bight. -Behind these are la;d pieces of heavy lagging until the desired hight of the bottom of the chute is reached, usually about 6 ft. above the level of the rails, On top of this lagging is placed a false set which forms the optning ofthe chute. Dividers are also placed between the front stulls, or posts, at the top and bottom of the chute opening. The planks of the chute are spiked to the lagging and to the lower divider. The chute opening is 48-in. wide and approximately 3-fr. high, and is closed with the ordinary plank- gate made in three sections, the second and third \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmma-uie mat m\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD= in mjuil ui iin-. newer chutes arc Rates made of heavy sheet iron are used.

The Supreme Court of Canada has hand.d down a decision in ihe case of the Canadian Pacific Railroad against F. Augustus Heinze, the now famous copper king, of Butte, Mont., confirm ing the title to Mr. Heinze of 550,000 acres of land in the Trail mining dis- with the results of these surveys. Fire and careless cutting have resulted in the deterioration of the reserves, and a long period of management will be required to bring them back into proper condition. Ofthe whole area of r0,000,000 acres -comprised in the reserves, about 1,250,000 acres have been surveyed. CANADA HAS ENTERED ON LONG PROSPERITY THE EAST CAN'T HAVE HIM trict of British Columbia. The land has a valuation varying from, $10 to $100 an acre and was given to Heinze by the Canadian government for building a railroad in that district 16 years ago. Fsrett Survey N\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDetfed There is the greatest need of a survey of our Northern Forest Belt, to say nothing of its protection from fire. An exploration of this tract, similar-to the exploration of Northern Ontario made in 1900 by the Government of that province, could, it is estimated, be made for $200,000, an amount, which spread over ten years, would mean an annual expenditure.of $20,000. Some of the main lines of travel through the country are well known, it is true, but areas are entirely unknown, particularly away from these routes, and in order to .secure adequate knowledge upon which to base proper adminstra- tion ofthe country definite knowledge of it is essential. On the forest reserves timber surveys were continued during 1908 and j British Columbia Refuses to let Premier Mo- Bride Go The Colonist, the chief Conservative organ, protests against the movement for Premier McBride to become leader of the Federal party. It says : \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDHe has so neihing moe in mind than political adva cement. S me thing higher than party success. As a native son of this great province, trusted as no other man at the head of its affairs has ever been trusted with a great responsibility, an unequalled opportunity, we think that Mr. McBride feels a stimulus to action along very different lines than those which he is supposed to be thinking about. \"We may tell our eastern friends that to a British Columbian, British Columbia offers a field for energetic statesmanship compared to which mere party triumphs look insignificant. There may come a time when events will lead Mr. McBride into the Federal arena, but, speaking for itself, the Colonist hopes that it will be many years before the call of party is more influential with him than the call of his-hative province. There is a great work to be done.in British Columbia, and we are confident that Mr. McBride will not leave it undone merely to gratify any personal ambition that he might entertain. *; George Northern and Herbert Cole lost their lives, and Charles Mclvor barely escaped drowning through the overturning of their canoe 00 the West Arm, opposite Proctor, on Sunday afternoon. :',\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"'' .\"''..\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Phoenix Railway Tlmeiible. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'.'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.-.;'.

The most disastrous thing that could come would be war in Europe, which would check inflow of British capital and immigrants. The primary factor of prosperity is great undeveloped resources; a second he willingness of Great Britian to find all the capital Canada can employ, at low rates; a third factor, the far-sightedness of Canadian statesmen, who are devoting energies to opening up the country and to extension of railways; a fourth facior is the world's need of new food sources and the current high prices, ihe South African and Japanese wars having prevented for seven years the normal capital outlay for developing new food supplies; a fifth factor is the extent to which United States resources a>e developed, leading to immigration ol American farmers into Canada; again, the world's unappropriated lands are becoming exhausted, and Canada is one of the few countries that can still make free grants; lastly, the time is favorable in; Canada to obtain labor. One of the influences, which prer vented development of Canada has long ceased to operate. The long winters and the liability to frost even during summer, have entirely lost their terrors. Experience has shown that the large number.of hours of sunshine pressed into a few months more than make up for the shortness ofthe ieason. Further, liability to damage from frost and drought is diminishing as cultivation extends. The recognition that the drawbacks to farming ;in western Canada have been greatly exaggerated is likely to cause the number, of incoming farmers to grow steadily.
