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 ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xphoenix/items/1.0185058/source.json"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note " t^.!riMive Ubrary ',,. . \"5 AND BOUNDARY MINING JOURNAL.

The total issue is $r,000,000. These bonds are being retired by the sinking fund provision in the mortgage, and which retires the entire, issue inside the next eight years. ��� \"The Dominion Co. now has available to its treasury about $700,000 in cash, and it is stated the management is only waiting the complete installation of the increased smelter capacity to declare a first dividend, which is expected to be quarterly on the basis of 10% per annum. Par value of the shares is $10. \"With its new smelter capacity in operation the Dominion Co. should produce 6,006,000 pounds of, copper per annum at a cost inside of 9 cents per pound. With copper at 20 cents this would show i6j^% on the entire capital stock after providing the interest and sinking fund requirements of the bonds.\" : BASEBALL TROPHY WORTH $150 For 21 Phoenix Glub Organizes Season. Tuesday evening, a meeting of those interested in base ball was held, when the Phoenix Base Ball Club was organised, and the following officers elected for the coming season: Honorary President, Dr. W. H. Dickson; honorary vice-president, James Mar- shall; president,.,_.Tuck ;..Collins; ..vice-, president, Barney Cosgrove; secretary and treasurer, E. A. Black; manager, Harry James. A committee was appointed to interview the officials of the Dominion Copper Co., on the ground of which the ball park was located last year, adjoining the city limits, to see if satisfactory arragements can be made for the use of the same grounds for this year. If this can be done.it is the intention that the grounds be fenced in and otherwise greatly improved. J. L. Cassidy & Co., of Montreal, have donated a $150 trophy, to be contested for this year by the ball clubs of the Boundary country, and this adds no little interest to the sport in this section, which has always had many devotees in the Boundary. Greenwood has already organized a club for the season, Grand Forks will probably do likewise, ann heretofore Midway has had a club that has made a good record. It is, therefore, not unlikely that a Boundary league will be organized as soon as the season is well opened up, there still being several inches of snow in and around Phoenix. The price of. copper seems to be sagging somewhat. . Granby's ore shipments this week��� over 18,000 tons���makes a new record for this year. At the Bay mine stoping is going on at the 130-foot level, and very rich ore is being taken out for shipment. The Elkhorn mine is on the shipping list again this week, sending out a car load of high grade silver ore to Trail smelter, It is the intention to install a local telephone system at the Snowshoe mine, connecting the several parts of the property. < . The International Coal & Coke Co., of Coleman, Alberta, has declared its second one-percent dividend, amounting to about $28,000, payable May 1st. In January the Granby mines shipped 34,192 tons of ore, in February 32,465 (low water mark for several months), but in March 63,826 tons were sent out, and April is likely to be even larger. Work on the 5,800-foot six-inch pipe line, from the Idaho to the Rawhide mine, is being rapidly pushed by the Dominion Copper Co., to supply compressed air at the latter4 property as soon as possible. ��� Steam shovels for mining having be\" cornea thing of the past at the Granby mines, the large shovel used at those properties was shipped to Spokane a short time ago, where it is in use by the Inland Empire Railway Co. . Supt. Hewer, with a force of four men, is running a crosscut from the bottom of the 200-foot shaft of the Greyhound mine, Deadwood camp, which is now in about 80 feet, and the pre body is expected to be encountered soon. .-.,..���,, > A carload of machinery arrived at the Snowshoe mine this week, including two small motors to be used till the arrival of the 400-h.p. electric motor. Other appliances for the electric drive shortly to be installed at that property, also arrived. . . Seven furnaces are now.m continuous operation at the Granby, smelter, the-, coke, supply being .-sufficient- for that number, though the'railways have not been delivering ore as fast as desired. By next week the final work of enlarging the eighth furnace of the Granby battery will be completed. On Wednesday the new 400 h. p. electric motor, now in place at the Dominion Copper Co.'s large air compressor on the Idaho, was started for the first time and found'. to run wall. Connections are being made now, and the compressor should be in running order in a short time. COAL DELEGATES FAIL TO AGREE Operators and Miners Go Home Miners' Give 30 Days' Notice of New Demand. Boundary Side Lights ore to the Do- s Boundary Falls Old English Bazaar aod Dance. An' old English Bazaar and sale of work will occur Thursday, April nth, by the Ladies' Guild, of St. John's Episcopal Church, at Miner's Union hall. Many novelties are promised, and committees have been formed for the several departments, one feature of the project being special attention given to the musical programme, which, after the bazaar will include an orchestral concert, given by seven or eight pieces. The orchestra under the able leadership of Harry James, performs for the ball to follow. Auction sales will be hejd during the evening of merchandise, donated by the principal business firms of Phoenix. The Rev. Mr.Heath has been a hard worker here, and it is earnestly wished that a huge success will reward the Ladies' Guild of his church. The shipments of minion Copper Co smelter for the month of March, show the high water mark of 20,649 tons, being several tons higher than any previous month in the history of the plant or . company, and nearly three times the February output. After many delays in the receipt of material for the aerial tram of the B.C. Copper Co. for the Napoleon mine, near Boyd's, Wash., the .tram is now nearly or quite completed, but the Great Northern railway seems slow about putting in the siding at the tramway terminal, half a mile above Boyd's. When the tram is in operation, there should be no more trouble about getting ore promptly from the Napoleon mine. Last Wednesday Local Manager Hodges, Chief Electrician Lane, both of the Granby Co., and R. P. Williams, of the Jenckes Machine Co. that built the hoist, and Engineer Reed, of the Westinghouse Co., that furnished the large motor, inspected the new 250- h.p. electric hoist, and 25o-h.p. electric motor, while the entire mechanism was in operation, at the Granby Victoria shaft, it being found to work satisfactorily. The rails and guides have been installed to the .joofoot level of the Granby mines, and the hoist is now being operated to that level. Reports from the Crow's Nest country this week, regarding the coal situation are anything but reassuring. Early in the week, the report got out and was printed that the operators and miners had agreed on a new contract, to take the place of that expiring April 1st, but later reports show that the convention at Calgary finally broke up without any agreement having been reached, the delegates of both operators and miners returning to their homes without having accomplished anything, so far as can be learned. This is borne out by the following notice from the miners' officers, which was handed to S. F. Little, secretary of the operators' association at Calgary, Tuesday night: 'To the Western Coal Operators' Association, comprising the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company, the \"International Coal & Coke company, [the West Canadian Collieries, Limited, the Canadian-American Coal & Coke company, Limited, the Breck'enriclge- l.und Coal & Coke company, the H W. Neill Coal company, and the.Pacific Coal Co.\", Ltd.: \"We, the undersigned, acting on behalf of your employees, hereby give you 30 days' notice that a change of wages, hours and conditions of labor is demanded by your employes at the various mines, coke ovens and outside plants, owned and controlled by your respective companies.\" This notice would seem to indicate that the miners' officers intend to proceed under new Trades' Disputes Act passed by the Dominion parliament a few weeks ago,.to deal with strikes. The act prohibits lock-outs or strikes till the matter can be investigated by a commission; and the<-fullesfpublicity from reliable sources given to both sides. Then, if it is still desired, in the face of public opinion, whichever way that inclines, a lockout or strike may proceed. The idea is that the limelight of publicity on all causes leading up to a strike or lock-out will tend to bring the parties together. News from the Crow is to the effect thai the district officers of the United Mine Workers of America are not hav ing an easy time to keep the men in line for the 30 days, or until a commission investigates, and it is not unlikely that developments may take place among the coal miners at any time. The situation is being closely watched, not only by the smelting and mining industry of the Boundary, but by the people of Alberta and Saskatchewan, who are also dependent on that district for a supply of coal. Two stores are being opened at Bridesville, a new station on the V. V. & E. west of Midway. A new organization in Greenwood is a basket ball club, which has elected officers and secured a place to practice the game. Police Magistrate Hallett, of Greenwood, is reported by the I^edge to be after those who sell cigarettes to boys under 15 years of age. Robert Kerr, well known all over the Boundary, received the appointment of customs officer' for the hew office at Bridesville, opened this week. The mail service to Camp McKinney is inexpressibly putrid, and the Pioneer can furnish the documents from its | files to prove the fact to any one interested, the postoffice inspector not excepted. Greenwood has been made a pott of entry for custom houses west of there in this section, and Alex. McDonald, of Boundary Falls, has been made an assistant to Hugh McCutcheon, the collector at Greenwood. Owing to the prevalence of smallpox on the other side of the line, the Dominion authorities have established a strict quarantine at the crossing points in British Columbia, Dr. Truax being the quarantine officer at Grand Forks. 214,187 TONS IN FIRST QUARTER Boundary Output For Three Months. But Is Now Increasing Again At Rapid Rate. For the first quarter of 1907, in spite of the well known drawbacks of severe winter weather and the car and fuel shortage, the mines of the Boundary shipped and the three smelting works treated approximately 214,187 tons of ore. For the reasons mentioned this was a comparitively small output, being some 100,000 tons less than for the corresponding period in 1906 and about the same as the first three months in 1905. So far this year the ore shipments, by months and in tons, have been as follows: January...... ...... 60,003 February..'....'.'.. V. 53,965 March............ 100,219 In the injunction case of the C. P. R. vs. the V. V. & E., growing out of trespass during the construction of the V.V. & E. some miles west of Midway at Myers Creek canyon, a year or more ago, the C. P. R. secured judgment in court at Vancouver last week. \"Uncle Jim Hill\" will now have to pungle up the damages��� if he does not appeal the case, to Ottawa or London. This week the work of laying steel on the Kettle Valley lines extension up the North Fork of Kettle river, was commenced with about 60 men under Contractor Tierney. When in full blast it is expected that from half a mile to a mile of steel per day will be put down. As soon as the snow is off, grading of the line from Lynch creek, about 20 miles from Grand Forks, will -be resumed to Franklin camp;\":\"���\"' \" A Thousand Miles Per Month. A few days ago the Great Northern delivered a car of machinery for the Phoenix Steam Laundry, Ltd., that had been on the road for more than three months, making an average of about a thousand miles per month. It was tied up in the blizzards in North Dakota, and then the car and fuel shortage experienced by the railways did not help to expedite matters. The machinery is now being installed by A. D. McKenzie, manager, in the old Miners' Union hall building, and in due time, after the long delay, the plant will be ready for operation. Travellers on the C. P. R. White Wings limited, between Eholt and Phoenix, feel like congratulating Supt. Lawrence on the fact that the coach used on this run had its bi-monthly or quarterly wash-up this week. Opera Chair* Installed. When the audience assembles at the Phoenix opera house next Friday evening, to enjoy a hearty laugh at the \"Jolly American Tramp,\" billed for that day, it will be found that the new opera chairs, to the number of 200, and ordered some months ago, have been installed, greatly improving the comfort of the patrons of the house. As coal will be used in future for heating, there will be no further trouble on this score at entertainments, should they happen on chilly nights. It is promised that next Friday evening the company presenting the \"Jolly American Tramp\" will chase tears away with laughter, that bright, scintillating flashes of wit will dispel gloom and catchy specialties will make the hours fly like minutes.

Richard McBride, premier of British Calumbia, has announced his intention to proceeding at once to London, to lay the case of the province before the authorities there for better terms to British Columbia from the Dominion. Premier Laurier leaves Ottawa almost immediately on similar business, having oflered Premier McBride an insignificant su:n���$100,000 per annum for ten years, and wishes to get the British North America Act amended along that line. Mr McBride proposes to present his side of the case in London, asking for special consideration in this matter for British Columbia. The Province continues to pay into the Dominion treasury about three times every year the amonnt received. Returned Irani the Pish Coasrtry. Alderman A. D. McKenzie returned Sunday evening from a two months' trip east, visiting his old home near Sidney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Mr. McKenzie spent four weeks in Boston, where he has two sisters and others relatives, and was. chaimed by the Athens of America, and the place where the baked bean experts live. He travelled on C. P. R. both ways, and got stuck in a blizzard for nearly two days near Moose Jaw, on the prairies, something, that was not uncommon during the severe winter that has just passed. It was twenty years nearly since Mr. McKenzie has see n the place of his boyhood. | For three mos 214,187 It will be noted that March showed nearly double the output that February did, due largely to the return to normal conditions in the local smelting field, the railways once more being in shape to handle the coke and ore shipments with some sort of satisfaction. With labor conditions settled, if it so turns out, in the fuel fields, and with no other contingencies arising, there is every reason to look for the tonnage output to increase each month '.from this time forward-inasmuch as the new blast furnaces at the several smelters are now nearly all completed and ready for blowing in, if this lias not already been done.

T. J. Gallagher, who is building the Victoria shaft Great Northern spur with some 60 or 70 more or less husky sons of Italy, does not find this weather conducive to the best of progress in railway building. Last week a miner inserted a notice in the Pioneer to the effect that he had lost a bundle containing a suit of clothes, asking the finder to return the suit to Morrin, Thompson & Co.'s store. The notice caught the eye of the finder, and in three days the suit was left at the store, as requested. It pays to advertise. J. W. Gwynn, better known as \"Tonopah,\"died last Sunday at Danny Deane's hotel of erysipelas, the funeral being held Thursday under auspices of Phoenix Miners' Union, of which he was a member.

Unfortunately, Phoenix had no hand in forming or depositing the wonderful ore bodies in such an unfavorable locality lor city building. Nature prepared the resources; by endurance, privation, and hardship, the prospector blazed out the trails, and staked the claims, and the large mining! companies have created such a demand for labor and supplies, that a city of more than two thousand population has sprung into being in a few years. And who among us, judging the future by the past, would daresay that within as many more years, our city will not have grown to a population which may rival Rossland���or even Nelson. Up to date, we have managed to exist on the meager supply afforded by Marshall Lake, and the springs of the city. But we are warned by the local and provincial health officers that the springs are no longer safe for use, owing to contamination arising from surface drainage. -These conditions may cause an outbreak of contagion j at any time. I wish, from the view point of a property holder, and an interested citizen, to sound this note of warning, and to invite discussion upon the question, \"How can Phoenix secure an Ample Supply of Pure Water?\" This is a subject of vital interest to every citizen���especially every property holder. I have no doubt, but that a much better rate for fire insurance will be made when such a supply of water as the city should have is in-' stalled. The Phoenix Water Supply Co. has made such improvements at Marshall Lake as the uncertainty of the permanency of that source will justify. During the winter a new dam has been built, 125 feet long, and 25 feet high, from bed rock. This will increase the storage capacity of the lake about one- fourth over that secured by the former dam, and if the city has attained its greatest population, and cbulu we be satisfied that mining enterprises will never drain the lake, it might ample for years to come. However, with the experience of the past winter's water shortage, and a belief that the growth of the city will be as great in the future as it has been in the past, I r 1 THE OBSERVATORY Tamos Talxbd or at Home and Klsewuers 1 The Cranbrook Herald has started its tenth year, and is a better paper today, than ever before.

While it is undoubtedly a fact that the mining industry in British Columbia is in better shape than it has been for vears, and that investors have begun to receive some returns for their long waiting, or are about to receive them there is no question but that this has resulted in increased costs. , Reduced to its plainest statement of fact, all these costs, not excepting the government tax of two per cent (and this is a tax as well on the wages ot the men who mine the ore) must be borne, proportionately, by each ton ol ore: wrested from .out rock-ribbed hills. Every increase must be paid by this low grade ore���which can be described as nothing else, notwithstanding the present increased price of the metal. The question naturally arises, how long can these low grade ores stand this constant increase of costs? True, some profits are being realized in iso- during the year if all goes well, it is lated cases after years of effort and worth while to take an unbiassed view investment, but are they commensurate of the entire field, to see, if possible, with the amount put into the ground, what the future has in store. As far as Southeast -British Columbia is con- .cerhed,'it must be\" evident that, while r . 1 considerable is doing in the lead-silver mines in Kootenay, they do not hold the first place 'in importance in this section of the province in metalliferous mining; also, that, while mining in the .coast districts is growing in importance each year, it ,has not begun to reach the stage of development, employment of men, ore blocked, .out, nor of possible profits in sight, that prevails in the Boundary and Rossland, for in- stance: ' t Therefore,1 it is fair to state that, all things considered, the backbone of the mining industry in British Columbia is 'centered in these districts���and is likely to become,more so if expansion continues as it has done for the last few years. This being the case, we come to look at' the mining of low grade . copper ores���ores' yielding less than one and one-half per cent in copper ' per ton; ores that could not be handled . at all except in very large quantities and with costs reduced to the minimum. ' It should be remembered, also, that many residents of Rossland and Boun- >dary can recollect when eminent min- 1 ing\" men, after due examination, f'asserted that these ores could never be extracted and treated with a profit. and the time required for realization? Some day there will certainly be a turn in affairs, followed by a drop in prices of copper, and then costs must go down proportionately���although, when that time comes, no one will ever think that smeltermen should relurn to the,twelve-hour day, or miners to the ten-hour day, as was once the case here. It is not as though $50 or $100 { ore was being taken out of our mines, as it is $5 and $6 ore for the most part, as nearly as we can make out less, this increased storage will be as inadequate as the former supply has been. Certainly, when Phoenix can say to the country, we have an abundance of pure water for all comers and purposes, she will grow even more rapidly. There will be a better market/created for real estate, insurance rates ��� will be reduced,\" our hotels will be still more crowded, and the merchants will be taxed to meet the increased demands upon their business. Let every property holder who wants to see the improvements in all lines above suggested realized, make his ideas known. \\ This question can be solved, arid Phoenix has men with public /spirit- and 'business sagacity, sufficient to solve this important problem.

McCREATH, Proprietor. The Granby is the largest and the chief in other respects of the three remarkable smelters which are treating the low grade copper ores of the Boundary country, ores which seldom! exceed 1 ^ per cent copper. It has been the longest established, and its existence has been marked by continual growth, and as time has gone by the quantity of ore yearly dealt with is getting larger and larger, so that a period of profit getting, entirely apart from the unprecedented rise in the value of copper, has been possible. For it is.now a fact that were copper to drop ten or even more cents, other conditions remaining the same, the Granby.would be in a position to clear a profit upon its operations. At the present moment the Granby has eight furnaces, 204x46 inches, which are capable of producing over 3000 tons of ore daily, 'the exact amount depending upon the nature of the charges, the more silicious.theless ore being handled. But large as this, output is, the Granby is not yet-> satis-! fied, and Manager Hodges informed a; Daily News reporter, on the occasion' of a recent visit to the works, that it was his intention to bring the aggregate tonnage handled up to a higher figure yet by means of the simple process i of lengthening each furnace 48 inches.i This will bring the furnaces, remod-] elled, up to the size of the monster furnaces being installed at Trail and at Boundary Falls, and the capacity of the Granby, under such conditions will be between 4000 and 5000 tons a day, ordinarily. Low Reduction Casts. Despite the high price oi labor, the' costliness of fuel and the evident care,: shown in more than. one place, taken of the safety of the employees, the cost1 of reduction at the Granby is probably lower than any other smelter, wherever situate, and in this regard the Granby is a model for reduction works among smeltermen generally. In this respect the Grand Forks plant is attracting wide attention. Simplicity, as already noted, is the' key-note of the general plan of all the: Boundary smelters, but in the Granby this salient feature,-despite the vast size of the works^ and 1 the apparent complexity of the work, is even more in evidence. This is- furthered at Grand Forks by reason of the crushing of the bulk of the ore ��� passed through the furnaces at the main mines of the] company at Phoenix. The railway track (coming in from the mines is elevated for over a quarter of a mile upon a lofty trestle, and under this trestle is arranged a series of bins. Unlike the.B.C. and Dominion companies' smelters, these bins do not run in parallel rows, involving a conveyer belt, but are in one longj-straight line, the trestle above, the'smelter electric track beneath, the bins above,: and on either side. Parallel to this is the long smoke chambers and flue, terminating in a lofty stack at either end of the works, four furnaces going into the one, and four into the other. Next comes in another straight line the eight furnaces, each alike, each equidistant from the other. Below and beyond is a parallel building, under the roof of which is handled the matte and the slag^ at one end of which is situated the converter plant. At one extremity of the plant is the power room, and at the other the the blowers. Using 4000 H.P. Everywhere the motive power is electricity^ of which '4000 h.p. are taken up 'daily at the'mines and smelter. Everywhere the live wires are safeguarded, a condition which while it involves something extra in the way of expenses, has this offset by the added security to thelives of the men working in the plant, some 350 in number. There are two exceptions to the use of electricity, the one being the orts shipped down from the mines are brought by steam power, and that the slag Is taken away through the same agency. A noteworthy point in the management of the Granby smelter is the method adopted of feeding the fur- ���naces. The plan adopted elsewhere is the side feed, wherein the ore is brought to the side of the furnace by trolley tram, and then the car turned into the furnace, being overbalanced on its truck by the aid of three men. Mr. Hodges has a method all his own. In the first instance, the furnace ore cars are divided into compartments, and are filled under the big trestle set of bins in the ordinary way, except that the compartments in the cars' mean that the ore is more intimately related to its fluxes. The car is then brought, to the end of the furnace land run into it. This is effected by providing a set of small wheels on wither side of the car j at the top. These catch on a projecting ledge running the whole length of the furnace right and left, just as soon as the car leaves the track at the mouth of the furnace. Three'Cars are thus backed in, and are suspended by their upper wheels over' the burning mass below,1 while still attached to the little electric motor outside. The release of a lever, operated by one man, drops the whole contents of the cars into the furnace. But in order.to prevent the forming of a partly frozen cone of finer material in the middle of the furnace, the cars are so opened as to permit the ore falling out on either side of them, and thus the fresh supply or ore, Mr. Hodges maintains, is ; placed at the side of the furnace, and not in the center. As will be noted, this means a great-saving in time and labor. Hirtllv'SUr Mr Matte. The slag and matte are handled in much! the same manner as at the other Boundary plants. The matte is lifted by a huge'crane, aftet having been run into moulds; and theii'taken to the east end of the building, where is situated the convenor plant, where blister copper, 99 fine, is made for the metal market. The slag is handled by a little steam railway, the pots being aboutihalf the size of those used at Greenwood. - This railway does not run immediately parallel to the furnaces,1 but does so outside of the building, whence side tracks-allow the diminutive locomotives to bacK the empty pots for filling, up to the furnaces, taking away those filled. The copper saved is stated at 24 pounds to the short ton. A feature of the plant is the extensive machine shops wherein everything possible is made on the works themselves, thus saving much in freight and first cost. Officials and men are working together in harmony at this gigantic plant, and a long series of successful operations thus evidently lie ahead of the company.

The interest in the copper situation is emphasized by the rapidity with which new copper districts are opened, says the Denver Mining Record. If we were to make'a comparison between the situation now and that of five years ago, we cannot help seeing the difference between the degrees of desire to invest in the red metal. It is only five years since Arizona was enjoying a popular copper boom. By that we mean there were a number of companies organized at regular intervals to sell slock to small investors. Few of these enterprises proved successful, principally because none of them secured a sufficient amount of money to thoroughly develop and equip a copper property. So far as the small'investors were concerned, the boom went out of Arizona and there was very little interest in the copper situation until a year ago. For the past two years the prices of the red metal have been ranging much higher, and we look back with a spirit of amusement at the predictions of such men as Lawson that we should eventually see a stable market at 12 cents a pound. When copper finally climbed up to 15 and 16 cents a pound, the economists of the country warned us that any price above 12 cents would result in nothing but a se vere reaction. Now that the price is maintained around 25 cents a pound, we can readily understand that the demand is really brisk enough to keep the figures pretty close to that standard. The opening of Ely, Nev., was a signal for another popular drive among small investors, and while Ely is still a young camp, we find that all oi the ���L>��xa o�������� o��-4* oao a^-m inside properties have practically been secured, and that heavy interests are held by Eastern and Western capitalists. This is also true of the districts in Alaska and British Columbia. One of the most remarkable features, however, is to be found in the situation in Arizona. During the past few months promoters have been turning toward that old favorite field, but they have found that everything from good prospects to partially developed properties have been secured by men of wealth. But there is one feature that remains distinctly the privilege of the small investors. This is practically the operation along exploration lines. Even a few thousand dollars will sufficiently prospect copper ground to make it a valuable selling property, and the demand for this class of prospects is very brisk among heavy investors. These men realize that if they attempt to secure a developed copper mine, they must deal with other men of wealth who are not disposed to relinquish any of their rights, because they, too, are in the business on a large scale. This makes it almost imperative for capitalists to cast about for good looking prospects, and a copper property will always bring comparatively higher prices than a gold or silver prospect in the same stage of development.

I am now enjoying the belt of ! health. \"I am strong and free from pain, and I cwrtsJnly feel that all praise and honor are due to Peruna.\" Miss Edith Roams, 720 Dayton, Ohio, writes: \"I suffered for some time with and female troubles. \"I had been under the treatment of a good 1 I physician for about nine months without; obtaining any relief, when Feruna was rec- | ommended to me. \"After taking twelve bottles of this medi- \\ cine I have completely regained my health \"1 am pleased to recommend; Peruna to tiny f f one Buffering from the above ailments I THE organs of the pelvis, liko other Internal organs of the body, are Hurt by mucous membranes. . Theae membranes are liable to catarrh the same aa tbe mucous membranes In aay other part of the body. Perrlc catarrh may be caused by the extension of catarrh from other parts of the body. Or, it may be brought on by overwork, by irritating discharges and by excesses of various kinds. \" When the organs of the pelvis once become the seat of catarrh, various derangements arise which are called by different names. A long list ot diseases, which cannot) be discussed in public print,, some of j them peculiar to the female 6ox, others common to both sexes, are caused by catarrh of tho pelvic organs. Local treatment does not seem to be of any use. Homoot tho organs are so located as to be beyond reach. Peruna is an internal, systemic remedy. It relieves catarrh wherever located in the human body. Thousands of t-asi-s of pelvic catarrh have, been relieved by the internal use of Pern im. Peruna aims to relieve catarrh only. Poruna is not a cure-all, but can be relied upon to relieve catarrh in all its various phases, locations and stages. Followed Dr. Hartman'* Advice. Mrs. Lizzie Lohr, 1158 W. 18th stroet, Chicago, 111., writes: \"1 take pleasure in writing you, thinking there may be other women suffering as 1 did. I was rundown so far that X had to sit down to do my cooking���I was so weak. The doctors wanted to operate on me. At last I wrote to Dr. Hartman, telling him how I was, and ha told ine bow to take Peruna. I did as he told tt>p. and now I am enred.\" The \"Jolts\" and \"Jars\" Life are what use people up. Most people live pretty well up to the limit of their powers, and so long as everything goes smoothly that is apparently all right; but a \"jolt\" or a \"jar\" in the shape of business worries, domestic anxieties, or an attack of La Grippe, Pneumonia, Typhoid, or other wasting disease, suddenly reveals the fact tbat there is a sad lack of reserve force to meet these contingencies and the result is serious, often fatal. A wise man will see to it that his system is fully fortified against sudden attack. To attain this result nothing is so sure and effective as FERROL This fact has been fully established by actual experience. If, therefore, you feel you are not in first-class shape physically, do not fail to take a course of FERROL at once.

E. Kidder, the well known playwright, who wrote a \"Poor Relation\" and \"Peaceful Valley\" for Sol Smith Russell, solves the problem that has vexed the rural communities for years. In it, Mr. Kidder attempts to show that with kindness and just appreciation of man, even in rags, and the consequent respecting of his rights, will impel even the most confirmed \"hobo\" to think he is on earth for a purpose. In this play the author promises a new and rather novel motive, that of a rascally husband insuring the life of his wife, then stupefying her with drugs, hiding her in an attic of a deserted (and supposed to be haunted) house, substituting another body forher'sandcollecting the insurance theron. Through the medium of an ordinary tramp the wronged wife is liberated and restored to rights that had been wrested from her, and the guilty punished. There is said to be a happy blending of pathos and wit in \"A Jolly American Tramp.\" The cast contains the names of such well and favorably known players as Jim Smith, who plays 'Happy Jack,' the tramp; Ella LePage, the dainty little soubrette; Elizabeth Taylor, the well known comic Opera prima donna, late of the Castle Square Company; Elinor Dunbar, a clever character Irishwoman, and in fact every part is in the hands of a competent artist, and the play is said to be one of the most successful comedy melo-. dramas on the road this season.
