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.

Property Steadily Improving and Showing More Ore. \"We have now two or three million tons of ore in sight in the Rawhide mine,\" said Manager VV. C. Thomas, of the Dominion Copper Co., on Thursday to the Pioneer man. \"In fact, we have ore enough to last us for twenty years, even though we do not develop any more, which, by . the way, we are constantly doing.\" By7 courtesy of Mr. Thomas, the Pioneer man visited the Rawhide, Supt. Chas. Rundberg also being iii the party. The Pioneer man recollects that about two years ago M. M. Johnson, consulting engineer, in a report on the Rawhide, estimated that there were a million tons of ore available i The system of operating the Raw>- there. But with, development, and ' hide has been somewhat changed, also\\ notwithstanding that the mine has been There are six tunnels on the. property; on the shipping-list steadily since, the amount now available has doubled or trebled���to say nothing of what the future may show up. As a matter ofy, fact, the first few months of development at the Rawhide did not show what was hoped for, but, contrariwise, the last few months have proved the mine to be one of the best in the camp, and the management of the Dominion Copper Co. is mighty well pleased at the prospects and actual condition of the property. And the Pioneer man, while not laying claim to any special metallurgical knowledge, after going all through and over the property, must agree with Mr. Thomas���for even a newspaper man | and handling the ore is now done by making raises from the lower levels; dropping the ore in chutes from several hundred feet above, running it out to the ore bins, and thus effecting not a little in economy of handling. Foreman George Johns has from 100 to 125 men employed, and -has ' not the least difficulty in furnishing the 700 tons daily wanted at the smelter, whenever the reduction works can'handle it and the C. P. R. can furnish the ore dumps. In fact the ore bunkers nre kept filled with a thousand tons of ore continually, and the development is kept far ahead of the requirements.

Consequently, there is every reason to believe that Mr. Thomas is not a whit too sanguine about the Rawhide mine. When development of the Rawhide was first undertaken; experience showed that the first ore encountered in the gigantic ore body .ran pretty low in copper, scarcely one per cent, or 20 pounds of copper| to the ton. But latterly, when the ore has been penetrated to a greater extent with long adits and crosscuts the ore is running close to 40 pounds of copper per ton, aside from gold and silver values. best assets is in the Rawhide mine. One thing lays emphasis on this. The Granby Co. is developing the Gold Drop mine adjoining, and righr on the Rawhide sideline it has a splendid lace of ore, proving the ore body of the Rawhide to be larger and better than before known. Then the Snowshoe is also a close neighbor, with a large and promising ore body. All of which does not hurt the Rawhide in the least. The 80,000 tons of ore thus far extracted from the Rawhide is but a drop in the bucket compared to what this property can and will do in the future. *^d$tSS!CAi*S^S*C*^***' ^msilasaasaaasai^s Grocery Dep Morreirs Hams and Bacon: *�� bi You will never know what'' a difference there is in Cured Meats until you try MORRILL'S SUGAR CURED, CORN FED MEAT.

Haywood, secretary of the Western Federation cf Miners, had been acquitted at Boise, Idaho, of the charge of killing former Governor Frank Stuenenberg. In the afternoon the news was corroborated, and preparations were started for an impromptu celebration of the event by the laboring men of the camp. They immediately got busy, and about eight o'clock that evening held the largest parade that has ever been seen in Phoenix. It was estimated that close to a thousand men were in' the line of march, which, headed by the Phoenix Fire Brigade band, marched through the principal streets of the city. Meantime bonfires had been started On the surrounding I am - this sedtion for a momh mils, which lighted up the entire city.

McAllister, manager of the British Columbia Copper Co., returned last Saturday from a visit to Toronto and New York. Local Manager Hodges, of the Gran by Consolidated, and family have been spending some time at Hayden lake, a resort near Spokane. Mrs. Forbes Kerby, of Grand Forks, came up Sunday to find the coolest place in the Boundary during the heated season���and succeeded. William Spier, manager of the Eastern Townships Bank at Grand Forks, was here Wednesday, escaping the terriffic heat of the valley town. J. A. McMaster has returned from a visit of inspection to his mining claims in the Lardeau country. He says mining is quiet in that district, but that lumbering is literally booming. Arthur S. Williamson and James Ollason, of Vancouver, who recently spent a week in Phoenix, returned again from the Terminal City on Thursday, and will spend a couple of weeks longer in the Boundary. They report business livelier than ever in Vancouver. Eagles to Have a Band. Phoenix Aerie No. 158, Fraternal Order of Eagles, has decided to have a brass band, and 14 instiuments, to cost ahout $1,000, have been ordered from Toronto. They are expected to arrive before the first of September, when a competent instructor will be engaged, and regular practice begun. The organization is being gotten up for the amusement of the members, a number of whom are musicians. Still another company operating in the copper fields of the Boundary has declared a dividend, this time it being by the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. of Canada, Ltd., and the dividend amounts to approximately $120,- 000, and was payable en August 1st. The Consolidated company has a capital of $5,500,000, in $100 shares. Of this amount, up to a short time since there were issued 48<338 shares, although it is understood that more of the treasury shares have now been issued. Dividends have been paid quarterly by this company, at the late of 10 per cent per annum, and the dividend paid this week is the sixth sent out at two and one-half per cent per quarter, and makes a total of about $714,000 so far paid to shareholders of this company. The Consolidated Co. is the owner of the Trail smelter, the Center Star and War Eagle groups of mines at Rossland, the St. Eugene mine at Moyie, and numerous other properties. It also has a lease and bond on the Snowshoe mine in this camp, and has purchased the Phoenix Amalgamated group and taken options on some twenty other claims near Phoenix. It is said that the properties are looking well, and that it would not be surprising if the dividend rate was increased before the end of this year. Collector Whittaker, of His Majesty's customs, reports receipts of $1,850 at the Phoenix office for the month of July. Owing to increase of business Bob Horrell, the tailor, has added another to his force, P. F. Keillor, a former employee, coming from Claresholni, Alberta.

Tr was'near midnight when the meeting broke up. Mr. Haywood, whose home is in Denver, after being nearly two years in jail, charged with complicity in the murder of Mr. Steunenberg, and after having a trial that lasted 80 days and attracted the attention of the civilized world, was declared not guilty. One Harry Orchard confessed to com plicity himself in this and a score of other crimes, and efforts were made to fasten them on Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone. The jury, however, declared otherwise, and Haywood is now a free man. Haywood, C. H. Moyer and Pettibone were literally kidnaped in Colorado and taken to Idaho to stand trial, where it is now acknowledged by both sides that Haywood, whose case came first, had a fair trial by Judge Wood and the jury of 12 men. Moyer was held in $25,000 bail, furnished by Butte Miners' Union. Pettibone was not admitted co bail. Organized labor everywhere has been making great demonstrations over the outcome. . Yesterday the first machine drill was started up at the War Eagle by the Consolidated. Open cuts and surface work is actively in progress. Of a total of ix, 160 tons reduced this week at the B. C.

R. can make good on the report this time���if it does not take away other ore dumps now in commision. A. B. Hood, treasurer of the Cariboo-McKinney Lessees, visited the mine last Sunday, and reports matters moving along there in better shape. The mill is now running steadily on double shift, and the syndicate has about decided to refit and put the remaining ten stamps in operation as soon as possible. Mr. Hood feels much encouraged at the outlook at the old Cariboo, which was the first mine in these parts to pay dividends. About 20 men are now employed there under Supt. Ahier, a man thoroughly versed in that kind of mining and milling. BOUNDARY ORE TONNAGE.

When in December, 1903, the Granby Co. declared its first dividend, amounting to $133,630, it was a source of' congratulation, not only to those directly interested in that company, but to every resident of Boundary. For it proved conclusively that our low grade copper ores could be worked with a profit. The question of what to do about the alarming influx of Japanese in British Columbia, is one that is disturbing the good people of Vancouver not a little. In fact, they are almost up in arms because more than 1,000 arrived in June, and probably twice as many in July. At this rate the 5,000 already in this province will soon be doubled and trebled. They come from Honululu. It will be remembered that.in past years the provincial government has enacted legislation calculated to keep out the Japanese coolie from British Columbia, but each law so placed on the statute books was disallowed at Ottawa, for \"Imperial reasons,\" it was said. Now the strongest supporters of the Laurier government are the loudest in their demands that the Ottawa authorities take some action to stop the invasion of this undesirable class of, immigrants. ��� . . .y On top ol all this' comes the news that the Japanese in Vancouver are asking that. a Japanese postoffice jbe established in the: terminal city, and as a coast paper puts it, they will soon be asking for Japanese mail carriers, In January, r 906, when 1 japanese postoffice clerks, Japanese*' the Granby Co. began paying regular po]icemen, Japanese courts, Japanes quarterly dividends of $405,000 each,'- - it was then a cause of still greater felicitation. Since that time that com pany has kept up the dividends at that rate, every three months, and so far has paid out over $2,500,000 to the shareholders. Doubtless no one thing has given greater confidence in the outside world of the richness and permanency of the Boundary. A few days ago the British Columbia Copper Co., Ltd., another of our important copper producers, declared its initial dividend, and expects to pay them hereafter quarterly, like the Granby. This dividend amounts to $201,200, and the announcement was received with many expressions of satisfaction in this district, even by those not fortunate enough to. ..own shares in the company. Both of these companies are . in a position to keep up the present dividend rate for a long time to come, we are assured, and from what is known of the great ore zones, there seems to --be no doubt whatever on this point. They have ample ore reserves for de- ' cades to come, have modern and complete reduction works and they are in competent hands all around. 'I'he third big copper producer of the judges and representatives. In fact, the little brown men are becoming a trifle chesty, and there seems no way of stopping the influx. It is an interesting question and one fraught with great consequences to this province. At Ottawa no steps have been, taken to limit the arrivals; of Japanese, as it might make an Jnter- natipnal question of it. On -the ..other hand, residents of coast cities are strong in their denunciation of the law that permits their arrival in unlimited numbers. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is indeed between the devil and the deep blue sea, on this Japanese question. It remains to be seen whether ths provincial government will not take a hand in the matter and bring it to a head. According to a resident of Phoenix, who spent several duys last week in the upper North Fork camps, the only property of importance now being operated on a considerable scale is that of the Maple Leaf Mines, Ltd., H. \\V. Voung iiiind A.. J. Fee, two of the owners, being on the ground. The usual amount assessment work is going on in that district, arid some favorable results in ore. showings is the outcome thus far; but most of the owners oi well known mines are waiting for the completion of the railway now building, in'order that machinery may be taken to that district at something like reasonable cost. The Maple Leaf Mines, Ltd., which has headquarters at Grand. Forks and branch office at Vancouver, consists of six claims. A year ago the Dominion Copper Co., through some of its officials, had a working bond on the group, and did some work there. Later the present company was formed by tbe'owners, and a vigorous policy of development has been pursued since I work was; started .by the company. Thus far development has been mostly surface work, stripping arid open cuts. One cut has opened up a good looking body of ore.some .65 feet in length, assaying up to 20% in copper. Work is now being confined to a tunnel, however, which is in about 85 feet, with 50 feet vertical depth.- Later, as soon as the boiler now en route, is installed, it is the intention to drive another tunnel lower down the hill, so as to get greater depth on the ore body when reached. This boiler is being hauled in by horses irom Grand Forks, and in a month it should be on the ground and ready , fori use, it being possible to operate from three to five j drills with it. Then the force will be increased. , The Maple Leaf is located just above the Gloucester townsite, which is about three miles beyond Franklin City. The company is closing a deal for water rights and a smelter site adjoining the Gloucester ' townsite, wi th the intention everitually'of erecting reduction works close to th& mine. The McKinly^and Gloucester mines, as well as many prospects were visited. Nothing is going. on.'. at thevfirst . two, the bond-which-'P. A.

M. Campbell. It is labeled by the excellent California publication, \"Part of British Columbia.\" Many think that, from a metallurgical, standpoint, it is the most important part of. this province today;'..;'. As showing the value of such a map, at least 25,000 copies of the Pioneer production have thus far been printed, arid in their wide distribution have, shown just where the boundary is and what it has in the shape of towns, smelters, mines, watercourse, railways, power lines, etc. Some think it one of- the best advertisements that tfi'e Boundary ever had. lias vfftood the Test The approval of tho public is 1 test of merit.

Nelson |Northport Marysville Trail As is well known, the Kettle Valley railway has been at work on its North Fork extension for a year. The grade is completed to a point a couple of miles beyond Lynch creek, and the rails havebeen put down to.the Eagle City bridge at the crossing of the river. A gang is at work on the bridge, and ' it will be completed very shortly, when the tracklayers will resume work, laying the steel to Lynch creek, some twenty miles from, Grand Fprks, and far enough to save the cash subsidy for the line. . In all probability the railway will not be completed to Franklin camp till next year, but when this happens it should give no small impetus to mining all, through the. North Fork region. Many poles and logs are being gotten out by crews of men ,rn the North Fork, and the first shipments over the new railway, when ready for traffic, w'll be of that character. A stop was made at the ranch of K. A.., Brown, .on the way, who is so well known as \"Volcanic\" Brown, from a mine of that name which he located years ago, and which can be seen for miles either up or down the river. As usual, Mr. Brown was hospitality itself, and discoursed' on the marvellous mineral potentialities of the North Fork, still insisting that, when it is developed as'ir,!|ShouId be, it will require la string of smelters from there to Giand Forks, some 15 miles, more or less, and the united efforts of not less than three transcontinental railways, to handle and smelt the ores that will then be produced from that particular section. Still another mining company operating in the Boundary has paid another dividend-���the Consolidated I Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada, Ltd., which is operating the Snowshoe and Phoenix Amalgamated mines. This dividend issat the rate of two and one-half per cent 'quarterly, and amounts to $120,000. The first thing we know, all the extensive copper producers of the Boundary will be paying the shareholders profits. It is the very best evidence of the prosperity that is shining on the Boundary.

MATTKKS OKVirl'iKKST Tl > THOSE INTERESTED IN 1'IIK COI'I'KK MINING 1NUUSTKY <* CJ����0 ��^-A��9^M The Uses of Copper. The average man, if asked to name, offhand, the uses ol\" copper, would be likely to reply thai the metal was used mainly for coining pennies and 'making 'win-, yet these uses employ barely more than a quarter of tlie copper that is produced. On second thought he might smile at naming copper coinage as an important consumer of the metal, yet his first thought would he nearer right than his second, for the Chinese Empire has used fifty thousand tons of copper for making new coins, within Ihe past two years, thereby increasing the circulating medium of the country to the extent of four ounces for each inhabitant���for while filty thousand ions of copper is a large quantity of metal, sufficient to load a thousand freight cars of the heaviest type used on American railroads, it is but a quarter of an avoirdupois pound per capita, when divided among four hundred million people. Only the expert, or those engat.ed most actively in the copper industty, have the slightest idea of the diversified uses to which copper is put, as shown by a chapter on the uses of the metal in the new edition of the Copper Handbook, published by Horace J. Stevens, of Houghton, Michigan. According to this book copper enters into almost every form of human activity, and the multiplicity of its uses is most surprising. Electric light, pjwer and traction are immense consumers of the metal in the form of wire, and telephones and telegraphs find it indispen- sible, yet electricity requires only a trifle more than a quarter of the metal made. The engineering trades consume more than half of all the copper produced, mainly in the form of brass, i c^eo *j^m^�� xl>��^�� *>���<* o- 5 but there are about a score of friction metals and alloys, each having its specific use, into which copper enters as a component part. The building trades are enormous consumers of copper, and this sort of consumption is increasing rapidly. Copper roofs, cornices, and fronts adorn the exteriors of business buildings in thousands of towns, while for interior work the great majority of modern buildings use copper, brass or bronze locks, knobs and butts. Brass pipes, nickeled, are in modern bathrooms and lavoratories, and brass and bronze chandeliers, gas and electric fixtures are almost invariable. A dozen or more other veiy common domestic uses of copper are mentioned. In the manufacturing world the uses of copper and brass are innumerable. One concern in the Naugatuck valley of Connecticut buys copper in ten-ton lots, monthly, solely for the making of water-dials, all of the better-grade dials being of copper, enameled. The common pin requires hundred of tons of copper yearly, insignificant as a single pin may seem. Bals for . shoes and tips for shoe-laces require metal by the scores of tons, and the thin metallic tips on rubber-tipped lead- pencils are responsible for a surprising depletion in the stock of the metal. In addition to the consumption of the metal itself, tens of thousands of tons of copper sulphate are required for the arts of manufactures, and for horticulture purposes, in spraying fruit trees, bushes and vines. It is very evident, from a perusal of the book ;in question, that copper plays a vital, and a lar more important part than commonly supposed, in Twentieth Century civilization.

Thomas, manager of the Dominion Copper Co., is authority 'for the statement that it requires three days to get a train of Idaho ore from Phoenix to the company's smelter at Boundary Falls, a distance of say 2 1 miles. And this is accomplished through the united efforts of two great railways, the C. P. R. and the Great Northern. Thus it will be seen that smelter managers, as well as railways, have their troubles, in these times of coal, coke, ore dump and power shortage. Just think of it; an average of seven miles per day, and two railway companies working on the job, too. One would think that the trainmen would ^row dizzy at such a fearful speed���a mile every three or four hours. O Smith Curtis has been looking over copper properties near Kamloops.

On Thursday evening, August 15th, the friends of Miss S. E. Howe will tender her a farewell, en. the occasion of l.er resigning. It will be held at Miners' Union hall and all are invited. Last Sunday Phoenix Lodge No. 28, K. of P. held its annual church parade, going to the St. Andrews' Presbyterian church in a body. The pastor, Rev. Samuel Lundie, preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion. Early .in the.season there was considerable\" enthusiasm over baseball in the Boundary, but it appears that all interest in the game for this season has been lost. Perhaps' the .100 degree weather in the valleys had something to do with it. - ._������ roads the city and around here generally, outside the city limits, are to have attention,'as. well as the much used and exceedingly dangerous road from the C. P. R. station to beyond the Rawhide mine. Regarding the latter Mr. Spraggett states that he has had no orders, as had been hoped, to divert that road so as to avoid the Snowshoe, Gold Drop,^ Curlew and Ra\\yhidetmmes:and the several railway crossings and tunnel mouths; but that if anything is to be done now about it, orders will have to be received very shortly from Victoria. | The new Kettle Valley lines station in Cnind Forks lias been couipleled. A night operator has been added to the C P. R. station force in 1'lmeiux, malting four employees altogether, due to the heavy ore traffic. W. P. Tiemey & Co. are putting the finishing touches to the $25,000 Rawhide spur of the C. \"P. R., which they have been grading all summer. Tbe ties are all on th* ground. D. C. Coleman, K'ootenay-Boundary superintendent for the C. P. R-, came up as far as Hartford Junction Wednesday, looking over the ground there as a place at which to make up the long ore trains from Phoenix. Reaching the Gold Drop mine with a spur has occupied the attention of the Great Northern-engineers. It is a pretty safe thing to wager that they will eventually get there, the talk now being a spur from Glenside. It is a question whether C. P. K- men or those of the G.N.care the least about the mail sacks they handle to Phoenix. Thursday not a sack of any kind came in by the G. N., where usually there are several sacks daily. Track has been laid to the trestle on the Victoria spur by the Great Northern, a distance of about a mile from the start. Timbers are arriving for the trestle, which is to be 532 feet in length, and the employees of Porter Brothers are expected to arrive Monday to put the bridge up. It will require about ten days. The rumor is now current that the C. P. R. has acquired the Midway & Vernon charter and will proceed with the construction of that link between the Boundary and the rich Okanagan country. It still lacks confirmation, but it would give the C. P. R. a short line from this district to the coast, and make the G. N. hustle to get the passenger traffic which it now largely holds between Boundary points and the coast.

The well known' R. Meyerhoff ranch, west of Midway, has been sold at $30 per acre to Nelson parties, being one of many land deals made recently in the Kettle river valley, Ed Allen, who Hved in the Boun- ���dary~for-a-rium6er dfyears, particularly at the B. C. and Emma mines, has been in. the city this week, having just returned from the White Horse Copper camp in the Yukon, and will start back there next Monday. Mr. Allen states that as a copper camp White Horse is one of the coining wonders. Byron White, owner of the Slocan Star, in the Slocan district, bought for $r4,ooo the Pueblo group of copper claims. He took seven men in ,with him, and in three months got out 700 tons of ore that yielded seven per cent copper at the Tyee smelter, .Vancouver island. This group was originally owned by the B. A. Corporation (Whittaker Wright.) Col. Thomas,, representing Pittsburg capitalists, has bonded 280 claims, and has already invested some $2,000,- 000, with the intention of making further payments of $r,ooo,coo or more. His syndicate will probably erect a smelter in that district for the treatment of copper ores of the north. The White Pass & Yukon railway officials are now looking into the matter of building a branch line from White Horse to the copper district, and it will doubtless be built in the near future.
