[The Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal]
BC Historical Newspapers
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.

AN UPTODATE MACHINE SHOP Recently Installed at the Granby Mines. AND HOUSED IN A NEW BUILDING Was Furnished by the Jenckcs Machine Co., and Is Down to Dsie In Everj Respect- None Belter In Ibe Koottaiy*. W, G, Fraser, master mechanic at the Granby mines, tins lecently completed the installation of machinery for what is considered one of the finest ���if not the finest���machine shop in connection with -any mining property in the piovince of British Columbia. Almost any kind of machine work can now be turned out by the expert rr.a- thinisls employed by the company, (hough of couise, no casting is done lieie, as a foundry would be necessary. The new plant is complete in every detail, and is housed in a building elected especially for this purpose, as well as for the blacksmith shop for the mines. It is located directly over the entrance to the No. 2 tunnel, with which it is to be connected by a small elevator. All of the machinery was furnished by the Jenckes Machine Co., of Sher- biooke, Quebec, at a cost of between $5,000 and $io,ooo, and includes the following specially constructed machines: One 13 inch it 8 feet engine lathe complete. One 32 inch x 18 feet engine lathe complete. One 24 inch crank shaper. One 36 inch drill press complete, with automatic power feed and auto- malic stop. One 600 pound steam hammer complete. One set power bending rolls, seven- sixteenths inch plate and 48 in. wide. One power driven splitting shear, will cut '/i inch plate, any width. One Merrill power driven pipe threading and cutting off machine, to thread and cut off pipe from 2^ to 8 inches. ��� Large Electric Motor Arrives. Last Wednesday the first of the two 700 horse power electric motors, ordered nearly a year ago by the Granby Co., to drive the new 60 drill air compressor, arrived in camp. It was furnished by the Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Co., of Pittsburg,- Pa., and had been on the way here for a month, The other motor, a duplicate of this, is also on the way, and. will shoitly arrive. The machines are known as type C, incuction motors, 2,000 volts, 7,200 alternations, 200 revolutions per minute, three beaiing type,-' It will probably require a week or two to set the first one up, the work being in charge of C. E. Lane, the Granby Co.'s electrician. As everything else is ready, including the current, there should not be much delay in getting one of the compressors in woiking order. Each of the motors will stand 14 feet above the floor of the compressor room when installed and running. There were three cars of the shipment, including fittings, etc. Will Begin Tour *t Pboeqlx. \V\ H; Bamburyj; secretary of the Phoenix Trades and'''Labor Council, has completed arrangements for a lecture tour by the noted socialist speaker, Rev. Benjamin F, Wilson, of California, which will take in. many of the important towns of4the-/province." The first of the series of /lectures will be given at Phoenix on Monday evening, April 20th, after which lectures will be delivered by the reverend gentleman in rapid succession in Ymir, Nelson, New Denrer, Fefni.e, Frank, Rev- elstoke. Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster, Ladysmithand franaimo. Arrangements for these placets; have already been made, and probably others will be heard from later, be/ore the toiir begins. Mr. Wilson has the reputation of being an interesting speaker, and will doubtless draw good houses, INKING ON THE SNOWSHOE Sellldf Mineral CliMs For Taxes. Next Tuesday, at tftt court house in Rossland, un|ess the government post- |x>nes the sale, John--Kirkup, the assessor and collector for Rossland assessment distrfct, including ; the Boundary, will hold a sale of crowngranted mineral claims which, are delinquent for taxes. " It is noteworthy that ihe list of mineral claims located in uthe Boundary has not been published, tin any paper printed within 100 mile's of the claims themselves, and consequently there are many claim owners interested who know nothing of the sale." For convenience, however, a list of the claims to be sold can be found on file in the Pioneer office. The sale carries absolute title, there being no redemption whatever; Where claims are hot sold the title will revert to the government. Deepening Main Shaft Once More in Progress.

The new as.sessment.act, introduced in the legislative assembly, does not meet with the approval of mining men generally/ as far as can be learned, in this section, at least. It increases the taxt on uhworked crowrfgrarited claims from 25 cents to 50 cents, per acre, or 100 per cent. Said one prominent mining man to the Pioneer this week; "If that act is passed and becomes a law, that lets me out from doing any more piospecting in British Columbia. It is an outrage that the burdens on the prospector who strains every energy to get title to his claims, should constantly be increased rather than diminished. I am satisfied that unless a man can get gold in handfuls on a prospect few will care to locate claims now." First Time la Province's History. In reply to one of Captain Tatlow's questions, at Victoria last Tuesday, the finance minister presented a statement of receipts and expenditures up to 31st December, 1902, showing revenues at $904,408 and expenditures at ��1,407,- 373, supplementing this with the oril information that for the first time in British Columbia's history the expenditures for the entire year would be found within the revenue, and that in many rases receipts from slated sources exceeded in one-half year the estimate for the entire twelve months, this being notable in the case of timber royalties, etc. LATEST MININO SHARE QUOTATIONS.

From Second Reader Reader. Buckless, Bessie Klein, Ernest Fraser, Robert McKeoWn, Mable Greer, Wilbur Oxley, Thomas Heidman, George Summers, Gerald. Lemon, Frank ��� Merry, Spencer Swanson, Edward Swanson, Harry to Third On Thursday of this week the work of deepening the main three-compartment shaft of the Snowshoe mine was once more resumed, and two shifts are now at work there. The shaft is down more than 300 feet, and will be sunk 30 or 40 feet further at present. Before sinking was resumed a new Knowles station pump was installed at the third-level, having been secured from the Jenckes Machine Co. The machinery for the electric hoist, of 150 horse power capacity, being the largest of its kind in the Boundary^ is now about all in place, with the exception of the transformers, which have arrived and will be put up without un necessary delay. The two two-ton skips, which were made in Rossland, are on the ground, and in the next two or three weeks, if all goes well, the hoist-should be in working condition. It will still take amonth to'complete the manufacture of the 150 horse power boiler, which has been ordered for some time from the Tenckes Machine Co. This will, give the Snowshoe ample boiler capacity for all purposes for along time te come. The boiler will be installed beside the two 80-horse power boilers, put in last year. All this last winter much trouble had been experienced at the Snowshoe on account' of shortage of water, and had it not been for the water pumped out of the mine, operations must have been shut down entirely. With the coming of spring, and the melting of snow, however, things have changed, and now Foreman Trevorrow has all 'he water needed, without using mine water. Of course, when the electric hoist is in working order, that will take part of the load off the steam driven compressor. During ths suspension of operations at the Sunset smelter, to which the Snowshoe has shipped most of its ore for several months past, matters have been arranged at the Snowshoe, so that whtn shipments can be resumed, it will be at double the former rate, in all probability. Large quantities of ore have been broken down in the stopes, and the ore bins, holding some 3,000 tons, are also overflowing. The Snow- shoe can easily maintain a tonnage of 500 to 600 tons per day if the smelters can handle that amount of ore. Granby shares were listed on the Boston Stock Exchange this week. ���The Elkhorn, adjoining the Providence, snipped a car of high grade ore this week. Double shifts are now at work extending the tunnel on the Blue Jay, a couple of miles below Phoenix. 'three feet of ore said to run $100 per ton was struck on the Gold Finch, just above Greenwood, this week. It is understood that the Sunset smelter at Boundary Falls will shortly begin the installation of a fourth furnace. ���'������'��� . Smith Curtis, M. P. P., visited;the Oro Denoro this week, in Summit camp, after a visit to New York, to arrange (or the starting of work on the property. Seventy-five men were put at work at the Mother Lode mine this week, and shipments to the company's smelter at Gieenwood were to have com- menced yesterday. Chief Electrician Lane finished the repairs to the 100 horse power motor GRANBY WORKS ARE IN BLAST Other Boundary Smelters Will Follow. COKE ONCE AGAIN BEING RECEIVED Two Firosces ,'SUrted Last Monday at ttraad Forks, sod tbe Full Battery Wilt Soon Be Operated. Wss a Good Vaudeville Show. Monday and Tuesday evenings Weston & Herbert's vaudeville show held the boards at Miners' Union hall, and proved to be one ol the best organizations of its kind that has visited the Pay Roll city in many a moon. It was straight, clean vaudeville, from start to finish, and was above the average grade of these travelling shows. The children in the company did remark- ablj well, while the ventriloquist was certainly well up in the business. Wherever the show has appeared, good houses have been the uniform rule, and it was no exception in Phoenix. that runs the Knob Hil! ore crusher early this week, and the big machine is once, more doing duty, as formerly; During the month of March the Granby mines shipped 22,318 tons to the company's smelter. In February the tonnage was 37,837, and in January 28,824, making a total of 88,979 tons for the first three months of 1903. Most remarkable assays were obtained from large pieces of Piovidenceore this week. One gave $40,924 in gold and $960 in silver, or a total of $41,- 884-to the ton. It is needless to remark that no Providence shares are for sale. Yesterday was payday at the Granby mines, when about $25,000 was distributed in wages alone ���-rather less than last month, ,6n account of the coaj miners' strike. Next month the uayroll will undoubtedly be considerably larger. It is expected that the work of installing the two additional furnaces at the Granby smelter, making six in all, with a total capacity of 2,200 tons of ore daily, will be started about May 1, the additional furnaces to be shipped from the makers, the Allis-Chalmers Co., from Chicago, shortly. Death of Miss Williamson. Miss E. A. Williamson, who resided for years in Phoenix, died April 6th, at four o'clock, at Grand Forks, aged 3S years. She had been ill over six months. Her two brothers, Arther S. Williamson and J. A. Williamson, and her sister, Mrs. L. F. Holtz,c of this city, with Mr. Holtz, went down to the funeral, which was held Wednesday, Rev. Beits officiating. The funeral was one of the largest ever, held in Grand Forks. Miss Williamson was the eldest daughter of Andiew Williamson, and' died at the family residence in Grand F'orks. As anticipated, the close down at the Granby smelter did not last long- only three days in fact. Last Monday two of the four furnaces were started, and from present prospects it will be but a short time till the full battery of four furnaces will be in opeiation, using up some 1,500 tons of Phoenix ore each 24 hours. The Sunset and Mother Lode smel- teis ?re also arranging to resume as soon as possible, and at the mine of the latter active work has already been resumed, after being tightly closed for some two weeks. When the Sunset smelter resumes, at no distant date, two and perhaps three furnaces will be placed in blast���which means largely increased shipments from the Snow- shoe, one of the principal mines from- which its ore supplies are obtained. . This pleasant state of affairs in regard to the smelting and mining industry in the Boundary is occasioned by the commencement once more of coke receipts by the reduction works. The Granby smelter is still receiving coke from the coast, which has been long delayed in transit, and better than all, the Crow's Nest coke is also beginning to arrive in considerable quantities. Interior Liberals Oettlni Together. An interesting and important development in liberal party politics in the interior is mooted by the Rossland liberal association. It is proposed to invite the liberal associations of Greenwood, Grand F'orks, Phoenix, Yiuir, Slogan, Nelson, Rossland, Kaslo. Columbia, Cranbrook, Fernie, and any others in the various ridings of the Kootena)s and Boundary, to send delegates to a meeting to be held at Nelson on May 6th, for the puipose of considering the advisability of forming an interior liberal association. This institution is not intended to usurp the prerogatives of the provincial association nor to be unfiienuly to the coast liberal associations, but to consolidate the liberals of the interior and bring to the assistance of the party in this province the support of an undivided interior wing. Associations throughout the interior are being advised of the movement. Tomorrow being Easter, special services will be held in all the city churches. George Rogers, who has been six weeks in the hospital, on account of blood poisoning, brought on by running a rusty nail in'his foot, was out again Thursday. Assistant Manager H. N. Galer, of the Granby Co., who was in town yesterday, expects President Miner and a party of officials of the company to visit the Boundary next month. More Rich Providence Ore. The last car of ore shipped from the Providence mine, near Greenwood, again gives splendid returns.' From about 22 tons, a value of $3,674 was recovered, or at the rate of $161.49 per ton. Taking out freight and treatment charges, the returns were $3,41,0.- 87, or $155.05 per ton. The values were: gold 2.17 ounces, silver 265.2 ounces and 5 per cent lead. This result is a little more favorable than was obtained from the urevious car of ore, when $150.86 per ton 0/ ore w.is'realized, after deducting the freight and treatment expenses of the Trail smelter, where the ore was reduced. L. A. Campbell, of Rossland, representing the Canadian General Electric Co., was in the city early in the week. Simply Paid a Few Bills. At Wednesday evening's meeting of the city council not a thing was done but order a few accounts settled by the city cleik. Those absent were Aldermen Birnie, Marshall and Riordan.

Last week a deal of considerable im portance was put through in Grand Forks, by which George Holford, son of II. P. Holford, of Brighton, England, a heavy shareholder in the Snow- shoe Gold and Copper Mines, Ltd., purchased portions ol the Ward, Hardy and Overholt ranches in the valley north of Grand Fork. The deal was negotiated by C. C. Tilly, and includes some seventy acres, which it is proposed to stock with thoroughbred horses and cattle. Next Monday evening the Curling and Hockey clubs' ball will take place at Miners' Union hall. The committee in charge of the event have made every preparation to give every one attending a good time, the music being furnished by the Biner orchestra, and the supper by the ladies at the Miners' Exchange. 1 BOUNDARY ORE SHIPMENTS The following table gives the ore shipments or Boundary mines lor 1900, Tori 1902, aud for 1903, as reported to the Phoenix Pioneer��� xqoo 1901 Granby Mines, Phoenix 64,633 231,762 Snowshoe, " 297 Brooklyn, " 150 Mother Lode, Deadwood 5,340 Sunset, '��� Morrison, " B.

At the Eva mine, Lardeau, an important strike was recently made. Ore shipments from the Slocan for 1903 passed the 4,000 ton mark. The Payne has proven its new ore shoot on the No. 8 level for 130 feet, with shipping ore all the way. The Breen smelter at Crofton blew in last Sunday after several months' idleness. It is taking some ore fiom Republic camp. Both the Tiail and North port smel- teis are once again handling Rossland ore, having received some coke in small quantities. Last week Camborne camp turned out its first gold brick,-.weighing 200 ounces of gold, and coming fiom 150 tons of oie fiom the Gold lunch claim.

"First class in quality, second class in sue.' When the recent coal miners' strike occurred there were seven blast fur- paces reducing ore in Boundary smelters. In a few days or weeks, at most, this number will be increased to eight, and in a few months to ten or a dozen furnaces. It is' hardly necessary to point out that this alone means the employment of many more men than have yet been utilized in the mines and smelters of the Boundary country. Not only is this a fact,,but the chances are most favorable for the erection of a fourth smelter in this section some time this year. Then take the matter of new railway building. For two yeais the Great Northern officials have been endeavoring to lap the leading camps of the Boundary, and at last, after overcoming many obstacles, they are on the eve of accomplishing their purpose. By fall Mr. Hill,will be able to begin the hauling of ore from the' Phoenix mines to the smelters���in the meantime there being'a small acmy of men employed ~ in the construction of his railway. ,,. 1 While the past has had many disappointments to mining and business men in this section, from causes over * r- , which they had no control, direct or indirect, the immediate future is full Of promise,,and it is the general belief, ��� justified by the existing conditions, that we are at last on the edge ot the realization of our long deferred hopes. We have every reason to feel encouraged. Advertisers who drift soon cease to be advertisers. Every reader of an advertisement will mean another one interested in the next advei tisement.

Unwatering the great Comstock lode in California, from which many millions have been extracted, has been started. The rise in the piice^of lead, which the Ameeican Smelting and Refining company professes to have given the mine owners, it seems is moie for the benefit of the railroads than for, the mines. Parral is now the most active camp in Mexico. A large amount of American caniul has gone in there during the past twelve months, and it begins to lesemble one of our western mining districts. The Calumet and Hecla copper mine at Houghton, Michigan, has twenty- eight heads of steam stamps, with a daily crushing capacity of 8,000 tons of ore.

The" paity was made up as follows: Louis W. Hill, assistant to the president Gieat Noithern; R.' I. Farring- ton, second ��� vice-pietident, Great Norlhein; ]. W. Itlahnn, fourth vire- piesideni, Great Noithern; F. K. Waid, general manager; J. C. Kden, assistant geneia! traffic agent; A. 1 Hogcland, chief engineer; A. Stewart, lesident engineer; \V. W.

V. oc N.; F. S. Forest, superintendent S. F. & N. The visitors were met by^ J. II. Kennedy, chief engineer ol the V., V. & K. railway, Mayor Hurrill and Alderman McCallum, and diiven lo the Gianby smelter. The railway men were shown over the big reduction works by A. \V. B. Hodges, superintendent, and Geo. W. Wooster, treasurer, of the Gianby (om|/any. Mr. Hill observed that he was quite familial with the extensive opei- ations of the Granby company, and added that his railway expected 10 be hauling ore fiom Phoenix to Grand Folks within nine months. He said the siiieltei plant was the most up-to- date plant of the kind he had ever inspected. oh the copper market,"in rfiy estimation, is due to a legitimate demand. Possibly the' consumers have rushed iii a bit and tightened the market against themselves, baton an: average I would say that many of the large houses are buying copper not only for their present heeds, but also a little in advance. Stocks have been very low of late, and the consumer has he- tome frightened. Naturally no one can tell where it is going to stop. I doubt veiy much that it will j>o to 17 cents, but we have seen stranger things than that befoie in the copper tiade." ASK FOR $25,000.

' New Mining Association Applies to the Do. minion Covcrnmenl. The following letter has been sent to all the inembeis of parliament and senatois representing Biitish Columbia: Dear Sir:���1 have the honor to en- cl jse herewith a copy of a letter addressed to the Hon. the" Secietary of State, Ottawa, requesting an appropriation by the Dominion Parliament ol $25,000 for the purpose of the Provincial Mining Association of Biitish Columbia. You are already aware, of the enthusiasm with which the formation ol this association was carried out, as well as of the splendid gathering at the first convention held at Victoria from Feb ruary 25th to March 2nd. The executive of the association is determined to spare no effort to bring about better conditions for mining of all kinds in British Columbia. The first step was to bring together representative men from every class interested in mining. This has been most successfully accomplished, and the energy, earnestness, and 'Spirit of fairness which marked every feature of the convention's work, augurs well ;for its future strong and beneficent influence. The settlement of the strike of the coal miners at the Crow's Nest coal mines was largely due to the efforts of the committee of the association. On that committee were representatives of owners and workmen, capital and labor, business and professional men. The importance of that settlement cannot be overstated, and we believe that in this association we have at last found in British Columbia a union ol the best elements of all interests, involved directly and indirectly, in the mining industry. The association has much to do, and means to do it, but unless it is well supported financially it must leave untouched many matters requiring immediate attention, It therefore asks that in view of the public character and importance of its objects, that the Federal government and parliament at the present session make it a substantial grant of money. Anticipating your hearty support, I beg to remain, A. L. Belvea, Secretary. The imports of mining machinery into Canada during 1902 were valued at $850,339; of which $789,921 was lor machinery from the United States; $58,133 from Great Britain, and $2,- 285 from other countries, How to Ward off an Attack of Rheumatism.

Tt�� locomotive, the fire-reel; the huzz-saw/ the mine explosion, and the shipwreck, have been worked over and over again. What we need Is novelty. And If.I might make a suggestion, some new, and,_star.t|lng climaxes could he -worked up from the modest Incidents of our daily life. - For there are climaxes in the domestic circle Just as distressing as >apy depicted onv the stage? "r Even "wH'e'i "the ,c4nva�� buzz-saw is advancIng;on''hithf-wlth all the energy a- peraplrlng -stage ��� ciMTien^ ter can impart to it, the hero does not suffer the agony of apprehennton lihat convulses the soul at ;.the ayerage man wthen :he arriyes home at three o'clock in the morning and hears the contemptuous sniff which apprises him that the wife of his bosom Is awavtlngfhim at the top of the stairs. Nor does.the heroine, when starving'-to death in the latest black cashmere "Daily Hint from Paris," evince more trepidation than does the average: matron, .when, the leader in her particular brand of "sas- slety" dropsln arid finds her tni4l>'cot- ton wrapper with her store teeth in a tumbler of water and her magnificent chevelure lying on top of, the bureau. There are calamities Just as soul-harrowing In the domestic clrcleas in the drama. The trouble Is.-that the playwrights have never taken h'old of them in the true spirit of:dlscovery. , ; We will take as an example pnehero- lc incident that lately happened In this city when a prominent citizen induced a small girl to save her ltfe by Jumping from the wlndowsllTof a burning) house on to the tails of his ulster, which she accomplished without even breaking his 'flask. /We can .easily picture : to 'our- .; selves how this could, be worked up for the stage. The Angel cheelld is,backed up on the windowslll will a, pound of red fire burning on a tin shovel behind her. The hero comes tearing! on from the side scenes. He sees her, and clasps his hand to his forehead....: (Heroes always do that. It Is a kind of a. send- off.) He seizes a handful of clustering locks from- his wig and tosses.' it into the air. It comes down "Tails!". The cheelld . must be 'saved. With' a wild wrench,he whips.off his Hver-pad and holds It'.outstretched'in jhlst strong arhis.';The cheeild junips and relbdund s from It llke> half a brlckjtrpm a book- agent's cheek. Once' more she springs; and again he is-foiled:*' With a cry of anguish he hurls the llverrpad at the : sneering vlllairi' arid'catches! her "on his breaith. And'as she.is lowered; in safety to the ground >.we, see the iju) verlng body of the .."villain, nailed' fastntb- the blazing.ruins by the faithful liver-pad. There is'another point to which I would ilike '.to<;draw.;atteution.) 'And that Is the way in wlilch Inanimate objects are'neglected.1''We'have' dogs, geese, chickens and poultry in;^melodrama." But 'that Is all.'' i was" once acquainted with a gentleman who. played a cake of ice in, the,river scene .in "Uncle Torri's 'Cabin'.":'''Anrl the barrel in "Panjandrum" was a most lovable personage on* the, stage. Many friends of mine have also formed -part of the "hoarse gathering murmur", which always arises In the wlrigs when the hero is getting into a remarkahly.tight place. But these were not strictly Inanimate objedts. Th'eV drew salaries," and wore red neckties; on. Sundays.; What 'we need is a further extension of the drama from the farmyard to-the-grocery counter, and the hardware store., And we'shall'get'-'iti .'.'We shall yet see a drama in which -the leading comedy part is played by a tin of canned salmon and the heroine' is saved from the villain's clutches by a barrel of patent glue. And why-'should we not? There are many comedians now on the stage who would compare unfavorably from an Intellectual standpoint with a tin of canned salmon. And there are heroes beside whose personal charms a barrel of glue would shine as a paragon of pulchritude. A. tin of canned salmon would prove far more useful to the heroine when,she is lost on the sandy desert, or afloat on the lonely raft in mid-ocean, than a comic Irishman with a Coney Island brogue. If she did riot care to tackle It herself she could feed It to the villain anditle him up in so many knots that lt,,wc.uld take a traction engine to straighten him out. And the dramatic possibilities of a barrel of glue are simply Illimitable. She could use it for sticking tc^'everything from the angel cheelld "to the papers proving her to be rightful heiress to the old baronial home. When the villain sp'rartr? upon her, hissing out "At last! '���'������e you in my pow- paste hiii: to the SO out J.;>" a walk, '.m! of .Voftrish brl- thern all to the er-r-r!" sh,^>;;. e'.'' ^dtchen stSve>.- How would th.. Bands look if she si-id adjacent rocks by the slacK. of their loose trousers, while the manly hero went through their pockets? A dab of glue on her' windows!!!' when the murderer was creeping, knife-in hand, Into her- lonely bed-chamber, would compel him to stay there all night or complete his crime In a costume which the management would not stand'for even for a moment. And then how'useful It would be to help her to adhere to her salary. It is true that they might have to soak the hero In hot water to get him away from her. But then he often richly, deserves to be soaked. In every other Instance the faithful glue pot could give cards and spades and little casino to the most useful comedian who ever trailed the villain to his lair. These are only two of the Instances In which the use of inanimate objects In the cast would increase the novelty of the drama. But their number could be Indefinitely increased. We have long had the wooden ctor. Why should we stick at the Inanimate tragedian? Herein we have a brljrht Idea for the budding playwrights who have dramatized every book that has a circulation of over ten copies, until the principal value we place on the dictionary la tho fact that even the most ambitious of them have never used It as the basis Of a romantic play. And we charge nothing for this hint to dramatists. It Is an absolutely free graft.��� Montreal "Sunday Sun."
