[The Phoenix Pioneer]
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.

Second-class, $50; Third-class, $25, Per Ton A. B. Hood, secretary-treasurer of the Skylark Development Co., Ltd., received returns this week from the last carload of high grade ore shipped from the company's mine in Skylark camp, a couple of miles from Phoenix, the results showing it to have been one of the most valuable cars of ore ever shipped out of any mine in the Boundary district. The ore went to the Hall Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd., at Nelson, the returns being $5,220.11 for WORK STARTED ON GREYHOUND Bond the tons of ore, or an average of $208 per ton in gold and silver. While the ore was sorted at the mine, the sorting was not closely done. Had the sorting been close, the returns would probably have been over $300 per ton. The returns are considerably larger also than any heretofore received from shipments from this property. Two other cars of ore were sent out recently from the Skylark, one of second class ore to the Granby smelter, which yielded about $50 per ton, and another of third class ore, heretofore considered of little value, to the Granby smelter also, which was found to be worth $25 per ton, the returns from the entire three cars last shipped being most satisfactory to the management of the property. Sinking in the main shaft of the Skylark mine from the 1 50-foot level to the 250-foot level, is actively going on, about 65 feet of the work having been done. It is confidently antici pated that the ore bodies in the Skylark will be found in place at the lower level, and should this prove to be thc case, it will doubtless add largely to the value of the property, placing it in the front rank of Boundary's high grade producers, with the profit-sharing stage within measurable distance. The Skylark is owned by a close corporation, most of members of which are mining men and, with one or two exceptions, are residents of Phoenix. They bonded thc property in October, 190.1, for $30,000, have operated it uninterruptedly ever since, and have met every payment on the bond when due, being able now to meet the last payment that is not due for several months. Should the mine continue to improve, it is likely that an air compressing plant will be secured and even more extensive exploitation be undertaken in the future. Taken by Rathmullen Mines, Ltd. The Greyhound mine, located in Deadwood camp, not far from the well known Sunset and Mother Lode mines, has been bonded to the Rathmullen Mines, Ltd., through their managing director, L. H. Moffatt, of Rosslad. Mr. Moffatt has started a force of men doing surface work, preparatory to operating the property on the glory hole or surface quarrying system. His idea is to get a face from 60 to 100 feet in depth, and quarry out the ore fur shipment, and later use the present 200- foot shaft for deeper workings by a system of mill holes, which will obviate the necessity of shovelling the ore, as everything will be handled by- gravity. The surface and underground workings of the Greyhound have been thoroughly examined arid assayed, with what are said to be satisfactory results, the property having one of the largest surface showings of any of the copper gold properties in the district. The practical work is being done under the superintendence of R. H. Hewer, who is a practical miner as well as a mining engineer. MADE HIS BED ON THE RAILS T. H. Corkill Killed By N. Loeomotive G. Jury Does Not Blame Trainmen. The Death 01 Thomas Flnalgai. Word was received here Wednesday of the death the day before of Thos. Finnigan, at Vancouver. Mr. Finni- gan was for a long time manager for P. Burns &: Co., Ltd , in Phoenix, both he and Mrs. Finnigan having the respect and friendship of a large number of our people. Over a year ago Mr. Finnigan moved to Midway, but his health was net good. He went to Spokane and underwent an operalion for stomach trouble, but never fully recovered. Two or three weeks ago they went to Vancouver and another operation was performed on Mr. Finnigan, in the hope of saving his life, but he passed away Tuesday. It was Mrs. Finnigan's intention to take the remains to their old home at Appleton, Wisconsin, for interment, first visiting Midway to close up some business matters. Mrs. Finnigan has the sincere sympathy of many friends here. RAWHIDE NEVER LOOKED BETTER Idaho Mine Also Developing Well. When in Grand Forks this week, M. M. Johnson, managing director of the Dominion Copper Co., is reported to have stated as follows : The Rawhide never looked better than it does today, and has certainly passed my expectations. Yes, values are good and there is a gratifying per centage of iron magnetite. The lime and iron more than offset what silica the Rawhide ore contains. I should consider it a little better even than the ore of the Brooklyn and Stemwinder, and we are disclosing a big tonnage. The Idaho is developing extremely well and though we do not propose to do any sloping yet, \vc shall ship ore mined in development work to the smelter shorn ������ The hoist is partly installed, and will be operated by steam until the electrical connections are ready. A compressor plant capable of working 25 to 30 drills will shortly be installed at a cost of $30,000. Mr. Johnson states that thc big new furnace for the smelter at Boundary Falls should be here next month, and when blown in will make the daily tonnage smelted about ;.2oo tons. Asked as to the possible ere :tion of a new smelter Mr. Johnson replied that it was sc it what early yet to formulate plans. The mines would be thoroughly developed and smelter arrangements would lie made to fit in with the general piogiess of the mines, which were at present 1.. an extremely satislactory condition. John A. Crawtu.'l. master mechanic at the I Kmiinion Copper Co. mines, has sent in his resignation. The public school will not reopen next Monday, August 13th, as originally expected, but has been postponed for a week, the resumption of sehol astic duties taking place Monday, August 20th. Parents will please take notice accordingly. The school board recently mailed notices to all parents regarding the law about sending children to public school. Heretofore, some parents have disregarded this regulation, and in future the law will he enforced. U.S. STEEL CORPORATION Phoenix Visitor Tells About Great Concern. Has 18,000 Employees In Its Iron Mines. Probably nearly every one has heard of the United States Steel Corporation, which, with its capital of $1, 500,000,- 000, being a consolidation of several large steel manufacturing concerns, is perhaps the greatest corporation on the American continent or in the world. In the party of Dominion Copper Co. officials, which arrived in Phoenix last week, was Dwight E. Woodbridge, M. E , of Duluth, the home of the United States Steel Corporation. Mr. Woodbridge, who examined the Granby mines some two or three years ago for James J.Hill, before the contract was let for the Phoenix extension of the Great Northern railway, has also done some work for the great steel company, and gave some idea of the extensive opera'ions of this gigantic mining concern. At Duluth are the offices of the steel company, and when it is understood that these general executive headquarters are located in a seven story building, 100 feet long and 1.10 feet deep, a slight idea of the importance of the concern may be gained. The company employs about iS.ooo men in its Minnesota iron mines, nnd ships monthly from a million and a half to two million tons of ore, owning a couple of railways to handle the product, which goes out to Pittsburg and other rolling mills via the Great Lakes route. A fleet of some 36 steamers is owned and operated for this purpose. In mining the ore a great deal of it is done underground, but about 40 per cent of the ore is taken out with steam shovels and loaded direct to the railway cars. While the United States Steel Corporation's predecessors in business used to keep paid squads of lobbyists at the state capitals where they were interested, the present company does nothing of the kind and eschews politics, attending strictly to the business of mining ore and producing steel. Its policy has always been liberal with the employees. As an example, in some of the mining towns the company has erected school buildings that cost from $40,000 to $00,000. for the use of the children of its men. Latent Prices In Metal*.

Last Saturday night at 10:55 o'clock a fatal accident occurred 011 the Granby switchback of the Great Northern, and the victim, Thomas H. Corkill, is now in his grave. Corkill and his cousin, Thomas Kermeen, had been employed at the Meadow Lark mine, and had been in town several hours, doing more or less drinking, starting down the track for the mine, which is a couple of miles distant. This is not the usual route. When near the end of the switch back Corkill decided to lie down between the rails and take "40 winks" and a snooze. Kermeen advised him not to do so, saying he could hear an ore train coming, and Kermeen went on. A few minutes later he heard the approach of the ore train and hastened back ro where Corkill was, arriving just in time to see him being rolled over by the pilot of the locomotive. The engineer stopped at once, investigated, and found Corkill partly, under the pilot, making his last gasps The train was backed up, the remains taken out, and the police notified, who took the remains to the Binns undertaking parlors. The train consisting of 19 cars of Granby ore���about 1,000 tons���had just started from the ore bins and was on the tail end of the spur preparing to take the lower leg of the switchback, when Corkill was si ruck. Engineer Bodey said he was going at about four miles an hour, had a good headlight on the locomotive, No. 720, and saw dark object on the track, but thought it was an ash heap, of which there are many. At first it was thought that an in quest would not be necessary, but the coroner, A. S. Black, of Greenwood, finally decided to hold one, which was done on Tuesday, the following being the jury: Walter Morrison, N. Le- mieux, Gust Johnson, J.Frank Jones, John Tipichand David Smith. Thos. Kermen and Arthur E. Bodey, the engineer, and W. H. Weise, the fireman, were examined by the coroner regarding the accident, practically bringing out above facts. The jury brought in a verdict that deceased came to his death by being struck by locomotive No. 720 on the Great Northern switchback, August 4th, while lying between the rails, and found no blame to attach to the trainmen. Corkill was a single man about 46 years of age. He was an old timer in the Boundary, being the owner of a number of claims, some of which are under bond. He had been employed at different properties, at one time be- in^ shift boss at the Mother Lode mine. He had been working at the Meadow Lark since it started, some three weeks previously, and was a native of the Isle of Man. The funeral was held in Phoenix Wednesday at 1 o'clock, the interment taking place in Greenwood cemetery, deceased being a member in good standing of Greenwood Miners' Union No. 22. Corkill had one brother, George Corkill, at Tonopah, Nevada, and another, William E. Corkill, resides at Leadville, Colorado, while his mother lives in the Isle of Man. Boundary Mining Notes About 75 men are employed in the mines and -prospects of Franklin camp. More ore h.is been going out Irom I he Snowshoe to the. iv eel;. 'rail smelter ibis 70 of feet has been the Crescent shaft '5 on fee!. the and A depth of about obtained in lhe shaft fraction. The prospecting Meadow Lark is down drirting is being done. Foreman Harry Plaisance, of the Granby carpenter force, now has about 40 men at woik, rushing the construction of the new Victoria shaft and engine houses and other work. A force of about 2S0 men is now employed by the Dominion Copper Co. at its several mines in this camp��� the large.'t number yet employed here outside the Granby Consolidated. On account of unavoidable delays by he manufacturers, it appears likely that there will be some delay in the delivery of the new blast furnace for the Dominion Copper Co.'s Boundary Falls smelter. The Elkhorn shaft is down 300 feet and a crosscut is being run to', meet the lead. At ten feet in, the drift is entirely in richly mineralized rock, and the company expects to encounter the ledge at any moment. At the Granby mines the Victoria shaft is down about 35 fe<.t, and work is being crowded with as many men as can be put at work, besides the raising that is being done from the 400-foot level to meet the men sinking. Officials of the Dominion Copper Co. inspected the Marshall group in this camp last Saturday, where they found immense surface showings. They also took a look at the company's Athelstan mine in Wellington camp. For the past eight months, according to a Boston report, the Dominion Copper Co.has earned about $200,000 net. By October it is expected that the company will be earning at the rate of between $60,000 and $75,000 monthly, or about $800,000 a year. It is reported from the Prince Henry that, within, ten feet in the drift from the shaft at the 170-foot level, the miners this week reached a fine body of antimonial silver, the vein being from four to ten inches wide, and assaying from $200 to $800 per ton. JULY PAYROLL WAS $200,000 In Boundary Mines, Smelters and Railways. Month's Output Was Smaller. Much Yesterday was payday for ihc big mines in the Boundary for the month of July, the amount disnibu ed at the several mines and to be paid a few days later by the railway cjmpanies hauling the ore and mining supplies, and products of smelters, being the same as last month, namely, $20;,000. Approximately, the Boundary pay for July was distributed as follows : Granby Consolidated $70,000 B. C. Copper Co 35,000 Dominion Copper Co 35,000 Smaller mines. . . . .- 20,000 C.P.R. and G.N. railway men 40,000 A report from Boston is to the effect that "Granby Consolidated'sofficials be- lievethat the work of increasing the capacity of each of the company's furnaces 50 per cent will be completed in about three months, and that after the middle of October the company will be reducing at the rate of 35,000,000 pounds of copper annually at a cost of! about 7j-< cents per pound. This would provide for earnings of $19 per share on the company's new capitalization of 135,000 shares, or $1.901 Skylark per share on its present capitalization, un a 15 cent copper market." Total July pay $200,000 July Mine Output Saallcr. The output of the mines of the Boundary district for the month of July was considerably smaller than for the month of June���by about 20,000 tons. There was no smelting at the B. C. Copper Co.'s smelter at Greenwood, and the furnaces at the Granby smelter are still undergoing the process of rebuilding and enlargement, which cuts down the tonnage appreciably. But additional men were employed in enlargements. While; in June over 100,000 tons of ore were mined and smelted in this district, the July story shows but little over 83,000 tons for an output, which is the smallest month thus far .this year. After another month or two, however, there will be r. big jump in the monthly out put, as by that time some of the new furnaces will be starting operations, and long before cold weather sets jn again, the output should be at least 150,000 tons monthly, or more, or at the rate of 5,000 tons or more daily. . - -- " Following are the approximate figures of the output at the' various mines for June : Mine Tou�� Granby mines 60,564 B.

AT PBOKNtX. B. C. W. B. WILLCOX. Manager B. C MINING o The Iron Mask mine, near Kamloops, is shipping to the Trail smelter. Rossland ore shipments last week were 6,519 tons, making 190,229 tons for the year. One handicap that -the mining industry is suffering from in the Slocan is a shortage of ore sacks. At the Ymir mine 25 stamps crushed 150010ns of ore, producing 2S6 ounce's of bullion valued at $3400, making a total of $7000 for June. George Aylard has purchased the Standard mine, a high-grade silver- lead producer near Silverton, for $30,- 000 cash. Messrs. Grady and Briggs were the vendors.

And there may be something in it. The Herald, of Cranbrook, suggests that the Colonel should clothe his ideas in pajamas. The Spokane Spokesman- Review gives Lowery and his Claim about a column of free advertising. All of which, as we remarked before, is good advertising for Lowery. Wonder if he put the pbstoffice people up to this ? The concentrator men at the St. Eugene are asking for an eight hour day. A petition is now being circulated among the mil! men and it is said there are no refusals. It will be a unanimous request.

"When 'completed and in full operating order, the British Columbia Copper Co., Ltd., will have in its reconstructed j smelter, at Greenwood, one of the most ] 'modern and down-to date reduction J works in the Dominion of Canada. And Manager McAllister expects to handle -2,000 tons of ore daily at the new "plant. No wonder the company officials are talking of dividends at no very, distant date, with such a plant land.copper at iS cents or better per -pound. The fruit ranchers around Nelson 'have met and resoluted that they want,' Boundarv The Grit politicians of this province must be proud of their record in digging up mare's nests. During the last session they announced in scare heads that the McBride government was tottering to an ignominious fall, and almost announced the exact date of the tumble. They unearthed that awful Kaien island deal, and referred repeatedly to the "band of ad venturers, male and female," rolling it under their tongues like a sweet morsel; they also trotted out the horrible Pendray deal, the leading spirits being the Victoria Times and Vancouver World, followed by the lesser lights. But they should now, one and all, be able to crawl into an exceeding small hole, for they knew that their dire prognostications would turn out to be so much hot air, and the commissions appointed to investigate the deals found nothing wrong. Latterly they have been busy preparing for an election, but they seem to be the only ones that know any thing about it. It is a case of the blind leading the blind. Georgia Minstrels -Richards &r Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels continue to do large business everywhere and it is likely to do the same in this city at the Phoenix opera house on Wednesday, August 15th, for there is a facination about the fun and music that will draw the people to the theater many times. The ."Georgias" have reached the comfortable stage where the main thought of the management is on the frills, the public having the assurance that they like the show. The performance given by these "Sons of Ham" gained its vitality with the introduction of something new each season, and this, their 28th annual tour, a program of novelty is promised of unusual excellence.

The growth of Phoenix the past two years has increased the patronage of the Phoenix General Hospital proportionately. The increased work arising from these new conditions,made it necessary a year ago for the directors to arrange visiting days and hours for the public and friends of the sick and injured. The cards then issued must have all been destryed, as the public is again calling at all hours, requiring nearly all of the Matron's time to receive visitors and answer questions.

C, of the United States geological survey, it will be remembered, spent some time in Phoenix camp last fall on professional business. Quite recently he has been out in Camp Hediey, and it was understood there that his visit was under a special commission from the principals of the Yale Mining Co. and the Daly Reduction Co., who are said to be quarreling among themselves. Mr. Weed's standing as a geologist is well known to the scientific world, and especially in the domain of economic geology where the science relates to production of precious metals. Books which he published make him an authority on the subject. As one Hediey prospector puts it, "His name would indicate that he isn't up to much in the vegetable kingdom, but he's simply hell on rocks."

Phoenix Opera House WEDNESDAY, AUG. 15 An Ornate B'aze of Glory! A Gleeful Commingling of Joviality ! Duncan Ross states in the Boundary Creek Times that improvements will be made in the mail service of the notwithstanding what he Chinese admitted to this province with- calls the hysterical vaporings of such out head-tax, as they claim they can not'get labor to pick their crops. We "will venture the opinion that the said ranchers will find a good deal of opposition before they succeed in getting the Chinks in to the extent that they would like. There is also one thing pretty 'certain, if a horde of them do reach "Nelson, they will not care to try the high elevation of Phoenix. Over in Alberta they are criticising the mail service afforded much more than in the Boundary���and from reports they have occasion to do so. If the great and glorious Laurier govern- ' meht had spent less money on costly "government buildings in Nelson, Rossland and other places, and more on looking after the service, the service would be better. Not that Rossland "and Nelson are not deserving of ��ood Tory organs as the Nelson Canadian and the Phoenix Pioneer. It is an incontrovertible fact, however, and Mr. Ross dare not deny it, that most of the improvements made in the mail service in the Boundary in the last year or two were made because the Pioneer and the people of Phoenix insistently showed the postoffice department where they were needed and justified. And while we are on the subject, is it not a pretty state of affairs when the supposedly well-posted officials at Ottawa must have the need of such things driven into their pates with a sledgehammer, as it were? They should take the initiative in postal changes, the need of which is self evident, and not have to be coaxed to make the changes.

SUGAR REFINING CO.L^yAHCOUVER:_BJC^M^ Many residents of the Boundary and Phoenix will remember Elmer D. Hall, formerly a partner in the Phoenix Pioneer, but who sold out over three years ago, went to Washington, D. C, to learn machine typesetting, and has made good ever since in different parts of the west. A couple of months since he accepted a position as machine operator on the Daily Times, in the new and booming town of Fairbanks, Alaska. The following letter, received by the editor of the Pioneer from Mr. Hall���which by the way, was 26 days in reaching Phoenix��� contains much of interest about that north country: Fairbanks* Alaska, July 10, 1906 I left Seattle just one month ago today, and made remarkably good lime coming in, having made the trip in just eighteen days. 1 came in by way of the "Inside Passage," via Ketchikan, Juneau, Treadwell, Skagway, Whitehorse, Dawson and Circle City, leaving the Yukon at Fort Gibbins and coming 200 miles up the Tanana river to this place This was the finest trip of my life. The scenery is something that beggars; description���one continuous chain of; islands on the "outside;" and immense' mountains and glaciers on the landside, i make the voyage one of continual j interest. The trip down the Yukon i from Whitehorse is something grand. The sun never went down from the time we left Dawson until after we passed through the Arctic circle at Fort Yukon. Just think of the sun shining at 12 o'clock at night! This country is out of joint." Nothing stops here. Building continues day and night���in fact, there are more men working on outside work at night than in the day. For some unaccountable reason, there is a difference in the temperature of about 6 degrees between day and night. The sun went down last night from 11:35 to about 1:25, but it had no effect on the daylight���the sun just skimming along the horizon and throwing the magnificent peak of old Mt. McKinley, the highest peak ia America���over 22,000 feet��� into prominence. This whole country is one vast flower garden. The hills and river banks are fairly covered. It seems strange, when, by digging to a depth of ten feet, one encounters frozen ground, which is estimated to reach a depth of 300 feet. The town is fairly alive with dogs of all descriptions, and almost everyone of them is worth from $90 to $200. They are more valuable than horses in this country. Six dogs can take 1,000 pounds over the snow and ice at the rate of 35 miles a day. which seems almost beyond belief. There are. two daily papers here and Thompson, of Trail, Rossland and Dawson fame, will put in a morning and evening plant next week. I can see the finish of somebody. Think of two morning and two evening papers being published in a town of 4,000, Ads go at $22 p-r inch per month. Meals are 75c and you can get a bed for $1, that is a cot. The Times is the most substantial proposition in the town. The owner only gets a royalty of $6 a day out of his chums. If he isn't careful the Times will help him take care of some of his dust. I am good for about $300 per month here. I will stay until spring, and then walk out over the ice and snow to Val- dez, a distance of 490 miles, and lake boat for Seattle. I never saw so much gold outside of the treasury in Washington. 1 saw two pack horse loads cfgold come in from Cherry Creek day before yesterday. It was un'oad- ed on the sidewalk and left there for more than an hour as though it were nothing more than scrap iron. The banks keep the nuggets in pails, back of the railings. One man with a gun could rob the town, but he could not get away if he did. Everyone is honest here, for some unaccountable reason. Thete are no ( rimes committed. Bad characters are not allowed to land, but are sent back instanti-r. I saw Jack Lynch in Da-vson. who used to tend bar at the Victoria. I have met more than 50 of oid Grand Forks and Boundary people. It is so hot that it is only with great effort that I write. There will only be about two weeks more of hot weather, then a Rxellnble Mr. Ooolev. The 'original Mr. Dooley having been told by an impressionable and excitable individual that the country is in a state of revolution and that great political changes are impending everywhere, takes up bis pen and writes:, "I'm sthrong f'r anny rivolution that ain't goin' to happen in my day. But th' truth is, my boy, that nawthin' happens annyhow. 1 see great changes taken* place ivry day, but no change at all ivry filty years. What we call ibis here counthry iv ours pretinds to want to thry new experiments, but a sudden change gives us a chill. It's been to the circus and bought railroad tickets in a hurry so often thai ii thinks quick change is short change. Whin I take me mornin' walk an' see little boys an' girls with their dinner |>a'l.s 011 their arms goin' down lo th' yards, I'm th' hottest Socialist ye iver see. I'd be annything to stop it.

But whin 1 think how long this foolish old buildin' has stood an' how manny a good head has busted agninst it, I begin to wondher whether 'tis anny use f'r ye or me to thry to bump it off th' map." Am Ancient Inscription. The following interesting and ingenious puzzle was found a few days ago in a remote corner of Old Ironsides townsite, Phoenix. It was inscribed in ancient Roman characters on a curiously shaped stone of black basalt, and aroused considerable interest among local antiquarians : I FY OUO WEFO RYOUR .

I went through the great Treadwell mine while there, and it is truly a great sight. When I clung to an iron bar and gazed down into the depths of the famous ''glory hole", my hair fairly stood on end. The men and drills looked like ants. They kill on an average of one man a day in this hole and the other works together. Have not received the Pioneer yet. Ei.mkk D. Ham.. Coming Events. Labor Day, Cranbrook, Monday, September 3rd.

There is a lesson in the work of the thrifty farmer. He knows that the bright sunshine may last but a day and he prepares for the showers which are so liable to follow. So it should be with every household. Dysentery, diarrhoea and cholera morbus may attack some member of the home without warning. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which is the best known medicine for these diseases, should always be kept at hand, as immediate treatment is necessary, and delay may prove fatal.

Campaigns of slander that collapse as soon as the charges on which they are based are investigated cannot blind the people to the fact that British Columbia is enjoying a period of unexampled prosperity, due to clean and capable administration and far-sighted financial policy. Even intelligent Liberals reluctantly admit that the tide is running strong against the opposition.���Nelson Canadian. Unnecessary Expense. Acute attacks of colic and diarrhoea come on without warning and prompt relief must be obtained. There is no necessity of incurring the expense of a physician's service in such cases if Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is at hand. A dose of this remedy will relieve the patient before a doctor could arrive. It has never been known to fail, even in the most severe and dangerous cases and no family should be without it.
