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.

Thursday evening Bobbie Burns' anniversay was fittingly celebrated in Phoenix by the gathering together of about 50 Scotchmen, or those of Scotch decent, at the Hotel Brooklyn, where a feast was spread and good cheer prevailed until a late hour. Speeches, songs and stories were given in quick succession, and the health of the Scotch bard was toasted heartily, XV. G. Fraser being the chairman.

To the Shareholder: In my last report dated 5th ins'ant, I was unable to give it-suits of shipments from the new oie quarry (No. 4), which was opened on the O10 Denoio claim just al the end of 1905. Since then the assays of six lots ot ore aggregating 965 tons have been received, showing estimated net profits of $z.75 to $8.45 per ton, the lowest values coining from the surface ore Hist taken out and the highest and last value from the face ot the quany, which is being driven into the hill, the face having at the lime of c.\- A find of $150 ore is reported from the Strathmore in a vein eight inches wide. The Gold Finch tunnel is now in over 225 feet, and good ore has been reached. Two diamond drills are still being operated on the lower levels of the Granby mines. While repairs are going on at the Granby smelter, but seven furqaces have been in blast for several days. Work on the Gold Drop ore bins is being pushed along, and also on the gravity tramway, leading to the ore bins. NEW COUNCIL SWORN IN Meets Twice a Month in the Future INVENTED BY PHOENICIAN Important Device for Mining Men. Patented Everywhere S. Williamson. by A. On this page will be seen a cut of an invention by a resident of I'hoenix, which competent mining men assert will be a great thing lor the mining industry when put on the market. It is a new fuse waterproof detonator, and is the invention of A. S. Williamson, who put in six years ol\" practical work in some of the largest mines of ihe west. Mr. Williamson has secuied patents on the device in Canada, Great Britain and the United States, and applications for patents are pending in Mexico, Australia, South Africa and Spain. Thus far he has spent over $2,000 on the invention, and expects to do well with it when it begins to be used. At present Mr. Williamson is negotiating with some of the largest fuse concerns for the manufacture of the detonator on a royalty basis, and expects the matter to be settled at no distant date to his satisfaction, as several of them would like to secure it. One claim made for the detonator is that it will make a saving of about 25 per cent in the powder cost of mining, as there will be much less waste in missed holes. Another and more important feature is that it will, by the same token, result in a much less mortality from mining accidents from missed holes. The Scientific American, of New York, the leading authority of the United States in its field, recently had the following to say about Mr. Williamson's detonator : Invention ot Importance. It is of prime importance that the blasting material used in mines should be the best obtainable, and thai the caps especially should be peifect. Many a miner has lost his life by drilling into holes which have missed fire because the detonator was not absolutely waterproof. A fuse waterproof detonator has been invented by Arthur S/J Williamson, of Phoenix, British Columbia, Canada, which is designed to prevent the occurrence of accidents due to faulty construction. The cap has a charge chamber at its outer end and formed at its inner end with a pliable enlargement t.r thimb'e, A, Fig. 1. The open outer end of this thimble receives a fuse, C, which, as shown in Fig. 2, is projected through the thimble into the charge-chamber. Encircling the end of the (use and fitting snugly in the thimble is a rubber gasket, B. When the charge has been inserted in the chamber A, and the fuse C, and gasket B have been placed in position, the thimble is crimped so that the gasket is firmly compressed around the fuse C (Fig. 3) Displacement of the parts is thereby rendered impossible. The cap is firmly held on the fuse, and the connection between the cap and tuse rendered absolutely waterproof. The tool for crimping the thimble, as shown in Fig. 2, consists of two nivotcd jaws provided with matching semicircular cavities. The lower cavity has an opening at each side. These openings are designed to receive studs at the sides of the upper cavity. In crimping the cap, the thimble is laid in either cavity and the jaws forced together, which causes the thimble to be compressed, forming at each side a welt-like projection, which is subsequently bent over as shown at D (Fig. 3), as the studs in the tippet jaw enter the corresponding openings in the lower jaw. Caps are at present rendered waterproof usually by wrapping oiled paper about the fuse. The construction of Mr. Williamson evidently presents decided advantages over this very defective method of waterproofing the cap. traction of that ore :i vjitical h.-uht \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD f twelve feet. The values 1 f the last two lots are based on the assay of the company's as^ayei, the assays of the smelter not jet being received. They are also based on ihe present price ol copper, although some of them are to be sealed for on the price of copper sixty da>s after sampling. The results of the last three lots, Nos. 140 to 142, are as follows : Lot 140\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'54-4 tons; estimated net profit per ton, $4.30; total, $654. Lot 14 r\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD164 2 tons; estimated net profit per ton, $7-50; total, $1,231.50. Lot 142\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD212.25 'oris; estimated net profit per ton, $8.45 ; total. $1,- 800.. ...\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD This last lot represents the shipments of three days. The output is now 75 tons or more per day of first- class ore, and will be increased this week to over 100 tons per day. In addition, arrangements have been made to legin shipping 100 tons per day oi second-class ore upon terms that I feel will give a lair profit. The latter is a class ol ore of which there appears to be an abundance, but which heretofore the mine, for want ol a suitable treatment rate, was unable to ship at a pro fit. This arrangement gives an additional present value to the Oro Denoio mine. By the end of the month it is expected that 50 tons a day of first-class ore can be shipped from a third locality which is now being stripped of soil. If so, the expected output at the beginning of February will be 150 tons or more of first-class ore and 100 tons of second class ore. To enquiring shareholders I wish to say, once for all, that the company is not trying to create any market for its shares. It is offering none for sale ; its finances do not require it. The management proposes from time lo lime to give the shareholders the facts fairly as it understands them. Any statements given out have been of facts as they were really believed to be, and ol what was intended to be done. That expectations have not always been realized in the past was due, just as piesent results are quite beyond the expectations of three months ago, to that element of chance, of good or bad luck, that exists and always must exist in every mining venture. Personally 1 refuse, as I have refused for years, to advise peisons to buy or sell mining shares, and it is useless to ask my i'dvice. So far as the management is concerned, the price of Denoro shares will be determined by the known facts of the property and the public's appreciation of the same. Any favorable circumstanees arising will be signified to all shareholders. The management is unable to say whether the average net profits or ihe increased tonnage will be maintained for a lengthened period. Ii is really impossible to tell; bui aitur just returning from a visit to the mine, I am able to say that the mine looks well, that there is a large area of fine-looking ore (stripped of soil) that is being quarried with the results staled above, and in view of the contract for the second-class ore, the outlook today for the mine appears to be blighter than ever before. But remembering that ihe aphorism, \" Never prophesy unless you know,\" applies especially to mining, I do not don ihe robe of die prophet. The steam hoist at the Hungry Man mine was completed a week ago, and is working very satisfactory. Cross- cutting to the vein is now in progress there, and it is expected that in a short time it will be reached. I'he force at both mines will in a few days total about 40 men. The new cyanide plant for the Car- mi mine, West Fork, has arrived at Midway, and will be hauled to the property. On the Monarch, one of the Granby group, a shaft 100 feet deep has been sunk and crosscutting is now going on at this level. The recent shipment of half a car of ore from the Elkhorn went better than $100 per ton. At this property the new electric hoist, recently installed by E. G. Warren, of Greenwood, is working with great satisfaction. It is reported that John Moran, one of the owners of the Big Copper, in Copper camp, has contracted with R. Meyerhoff, of Midway, for the delivery of 1,000 tons of ore to the railway, for the Greenwood smelter. A report emanates from Grand Forks that a number of North Fork properties, not recently worked, are likely to resume operations in the spring, in view of the poisible building of the Kettle Valley Lines up that stream. Over a million feet of timber will be required for the new ore bins, etc., at the British Columbia Copper Co.'s Greenwood smelter, when improvements are started in the spring. Tenders are now being asked for the timber. As rapidly as possible the electric compressor is being installed at the Rawhide mine in this camp, and is expected to be ready for operations very shortly, when the tonnage from that property will likely be materially increased. The Oro Denoro is beginning shipping a part of its output to the Boundary Falls smelter over the C.P.R. and ulso to the Granby smeller. This is in addition to the three cars daily going to the Granby smelter over the Great Northern. Last week's treatment record for the Dominion Copper Co.'s Boundary Falls smelter was a new record for that concern, nearly 5,000 tons of ore being reduced in two blast furnaces. Even better than this is expected to be done. Some days 750 tons of ore are treated. If the Great Northern and C.P.R. would get together regarding the hauling Idaho ore, Manager Drummond is confident that he would be able to develop a large tonnage from that property alone. As it is, he can do nothing with it, and the delay is holding back a large feature of development and shipping that might be going on. Kane and McDonald for Commissioners. Latest Prices io Metal*.

Upon discussion, the conncil authorized the mayor to employ a governmeut engineer to ascertain as soon as possible the most feasible method of disposing of the sewage of the city, and the cost of such a system. This was in accordance with the recommendations of the medical health officers. It was also practically decided by the council that meetings should be held regularly hereafter on the first and third Wednesday evenings in the month, and oftener, if needed. The by-law will not be changed, however, for the present. It was thought that two meetings monthly .would be ample to transact the business of the city, just as it is in Greenwood and Grand Forks. The council also intends to arrange for having the first meeting in the month the date for receiving and paying accounts against the city. The next meeting will be on February 7th. HIS WORSHIP, MAYOR RUMBERGER. Frederic Keffer, M.E., consulting engineer for the B. C. Copper Co., has been taking another trip into the Sim- ilkameen to inspect the work going on at the Apex group, not far from Hed- ley, and at the Sunset, near Princeton, where diamond drilling is being done.

The proposition of putting on two night trains on the Spokane Falls and Northern is receiving ttie serious consideration of railroad officials. The matter has been taken up with officers in St. Paul, but no decision has been reached. The plan contemplates trains leaving Spokane and the other ends of the line in the evening and arriving in the morning. It is the opinion of the railroad officials ihat night trains would be well patronized between Spokane and Nelson, Rossland, Grand Forks and Republic. To go to Spokane from Nelson, Rossiand or other points on business requires three days, two for the journey and the layover in Spokane. If night trains were installed the trip could be made in two nights and a day. New License Commissioners.

The C.P. R.'ri Bankhead mine is producing 500 tons of anthracite coal a day. The Crjw's Nest Pass Coal Co. last week paid $124,000 for December wages. The Britannia smelter at Crofton is turning out ten tons a day of blister copper. Yale and Kootenay mines made a record shipment of 33,764 tons of ore last week, over 25,000 tons being from Boundary mines alone. The Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. paid to the British Columbia government during the year 1905, $57,978.85 as royalty on coal and coke. A careful revision of the mineral output of British Columbia for 1905, places the value at $21,400,000\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa clear gain of $1,400,000 over the previous year. The new Blanchaid lead smelting furnace, recently blown in at the Pilot Bay smelter, is the first of its kind to be used in British Columbia. It is proving a success. The Rossland Miner thinks the Kootenays should produce $25,000,- 000 of mineral wealth this year or more than last year's mineral production for the whole province. D. C. Corbin, of the Spokane International railway, a branch of the C. P. R., being built direct to Spokane, has just completed the purchase of 17 square miles of coal lands in the Crow's Nest Pass country for $roo,ooo. The highest point touched by the LeRoi shares during 1905 was 1 5-8 and the lowest 5-8. I'he shares at the end of 1904 were quoted at 7-8, and on December 29th, 1905, they closed at 1 1-8, the gain tor the year being thus 1-4. The name of the new company which will take over the Trail smelter, Centre Star and War Eagle mines at Rossland, and the St. Eugene mine at Moyie, is the Canadian Consolidated Mines, Ltd., with a capital of $5,000,- 000, and with headquarters at Toronto. The company has just been incorporated. The total amount of ore received at the Trail smelter during the year 1905 was 227,000 tons. Ol this, 192,000 tons was from the mines of Rossland. 20,000 tons of copper ore was receivrd from other sections, and 15,000 was lead and dry ores. From the above there was produced 82,000 ounces of gold, 1,360,000 ounces of silver, 13,- 280,000 pounds of lead, and 4,520,000 pounds of copper.

In five years more than 2,500,000 tons of ore have been mined and smelted here, with a valuation of over $12,500,000. And the industry is. only in its infancy.

The Phoenix Pioneer, with characteristic courage, ruts issued a splendid holiday number, being a description of the Boundary mining country, mines, smelters and towns. Few communities appreciate tho enormous labor involved in getting out such a booklet, with the comparitively limited resources of even a well appointed country office, and fewer still show theii appreciation by buying up the issue. The Poneer deserves credit indeed for the handsome typographical work, which could not be excelled in the offices of a large city. The number consists of 72 pages, with 100 engravings, including five maps, and is printed throughout on book paper. It gives a comprehensive review of the mining industry in the lower country, and should be valuable for reference to all contemplating settlement in that region.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Kelowna Courier.

The holiday number of the Phoenix Pioneer is to hand. This year the form is changed to the standard size of page adopted by most magazines, as it is more convenient to handle. The number contains 72 pages, with about 100 engravings showing local views and several maps of various parts of the district. The matter, historical and descriptive, is well written and very interesting. In fact, the number contains just what people want to know, and every time a publisher can turn out a number which accomplishes that end, he has made a decided hit.

The Phoenix Pioneer, with its usual enterprise, has published an edition containing a review of the mining industry in the Boundary district in 1905. The book is an excellent .specimen of typographical art, while the literary part is interesting and admirably portrays the progress of British Columbia's mining and smelting centre. \V. B. Willcox, publisher of the Pioneer, is entitled to the undivided support of the residents of the Boundary district, for they will derive as much benefit, if not more, than the publisher by the advertising the district will receive through his efforts.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDCamborne Miner. The holiday number of the Phoenix Pioneer is always a welcome visitor on every editor's desk. It is an edition de luxe with its fine paper and exquisite letterpress.

A Conservative love feast was held last week in Victoria, and short speeches were made by several members ofthe party. The following were the remarks on that occasion for the member from this riding : The member for Grand Forks, Geo. A.

On the authority of Dr. Ledoux of New York he stated that the problem of reducing low grade ores had been more satisfactorily solved at Grand Forks than anywhere else on the continent, and he was proud of a constituency which had established such a record. Phoenix, the largest mining town in the district, was extremely prosperous and he was glad to s-ay did not contain a single Chinaman or lawyer. (Laughter). Whilst he did not wish to give the government all the credit for this happy state of affairs, they at least had not done anything to check its progress as had bten the case with Liberal administration. There are not many places tn British Columbia where one can traverse the main street of the city, and at one and the same time hear the rumbling of ore from three big mines into the cars of two great railways\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbut that is wha' happens in Phoenix daily.

It was lead by the assistant superintendent of forestry. It is said, among other things : \"There seems to be but one hope for the forests, and that hope lies in an intelligent supervision of the public forest land of the country through a permanent government department of forestry, officered by men trained to their work and familiar with methods obtaining in European countries, particularly Germany, where forestry is studied and practised. Miners and projectors have no feeling for trees and are frequently guilty of wanton destruction.\" R. A. Smith has been appointed postmaster at Moyie. The Victoria Golf Club will pay $50,000 for its new links. Twelfth annual poultry show was held at Vancouver last week. Vancouver expects to secure a branch of the McGill school of mining. Several towns in the Crow's Nest Pass are to be connected by trolley. Summerland, in the Okanagan, is likely to be the location of a Baptist college. The B. C. Powder Co., Ltd., has been incorporated with a capital of $50,000. J. D. McArthur, of Winnipeg, has purchased the Moyie Lumber Co. and vast timber limits. Prince Arthur of Connaught, after visiting Japan, is expected to arrive at Victoria on March 28th. Next Wednesday the Associated Boards of Trade will meet in annual convention at Cranbrook. The C.P.R. is credited with the intention of electrifying its branches around Vancouver this year. Collier's Weekly says that Vancouver will hare a population of over a million before many years. Three births in Cranbrook last week. As Old Man Simpson of the Herald says, \"Just watch Cranbrook grow.\" In the hockey match between Rossland and Grand Forks on Saturday night, Rossland won by a score of 6-3. The grading of the 47 mile Nicola branch of the C.P.R. is nearly completed and the rails have been laid for about three miles. Capt. Troup has anuounced the name of the new C.P.R. vessel building at Esquimalt to be the Princess Royal. This makes five coasters bearing the name of Princess. Miss Agnes Deans Cameron, recently dismissed from the public schools of Victoria for alleged insubordination, stood at the head of the poll at the recent election for school trustees. The fish and game clubs of Victoria and Vancouver are making an effort to introduce black game and capercailzie into British Columbia, having already been successful in acclimatizing pheasant and quail at the coast. A pass through the Rocky mountains, the name of which has never been mentioned in the public press in connection with transcontinental rail ways, is now being surveyed by the Grand Trunk Pacific railway. The Pacific Bank of Canada will ask parliament to change its name to the United Empire Bank of Canada, to change its head office from Victoria, B.C., to Toronto, and to increase its capital stock from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000, and to grant an extension of time.

The cold continues to develop and the cough grows worse. Then the doctor is called in, only to discover that the patient is in the first stages of consumption. It was just In this way that Miss Powell, of Aurora, Ind., became sick. She caught a cold, and not considering it serious, neglected it, thinking as many others dd; that it would \"wear off.\" However, it clung to her tenaciously, and in two weeks she found her health in a serious condition. Fortunately, Peruna had been brought to her notice, and ahe took a course of this remedy before it was too late. In a week the cough and cold wcro broken, and a three weeks' treatment completely restored her lo health. This is what Peruna is doing all tlio while. Not a day, and probably not-an hour passes In which some one does not have a similar experiences with Peruna. Cure the Slllht Colds and Avoid Consumption. The first step toward consumption ia a cold. The next step J.s a failure lo cure it promptly. The third step is the development of catarrh, which gradually becomes chronic. The fourth step, the catarrh begins to spread from the head to the throat, then to the bronchial tubes, and finally in to the lungs. It ia then consumption in the first stage. At any time during the progress of catarrh, from the first onBet of the cold to its final settlement in the lungs, Peruna can be relied upon to stop' the' disease. If you have taken a cold, buy Peruna without delay. One bottle in the beginning will do more good-than a half dozen bottles after the catarrh mam fastened itself on the lungs.

Instead, some of the Bobbie Burns admirers celebrated the following day. The Phoenix passenger service on the Great Northern now brings up the empties for the Oro- Denoro mine on the incoming trip daily, and takes out the loaded cars on the down trip in the morning. This week the weather has been very soft, and the snow has been going rapidly\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsomething extremely unusual for Phoenix at this time of year.

A canvass ol the hotels in Phoenix shows that, almost without exception, they are filled to the roof every night, and most of the time are turning people away who happen to come along Inte on one of the universally delayed trains. Several of the hotel proprietors wish they had another story on their houses, being confident that they could be used to the best advantage. Just now the travelling men are beginning to show up again after the holidays, but they find it takes some engineering to secure accommodations So far none have gone without beds, but there is no telling what will happen if matters continue in the present fashion.
