[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.

COPPER GETS CONTROL Of New Dominion Copper Company Resumption of Dominion Anticipated in a Month Word conies from New York that the British Columbia Copper has acquired an interest in the securities of the New Dominion Copper company. Leading interests in these companies, however, are not prepared to state how the plan for a consolidation will be worked out, but that there will be a merger is a foregone conclusion.. The property and assets of the Dominion Copper company have" been turned over to the Ne,^ Dominion company,.and.-the underwriting in connection with the new corporation will be. closed up on Aug. 20th. Resumption of operations, after the long shutdown, is anticipated, by the New York officials, in the course of a month. Geo. L. Walker, the Boston Commercial copper authority says: "Brit ish Columbia Copper is now operating two of its three furnaces, and producing at the ra'e of 7,000,000 pounds of copper annually. It will shortly blow in the other furnace,, increasing its production to between 10,000,600 and 11,000,000 pounds annually. It is understood that the British Columbia company has secured control of the New Dominion Copper company, the successor to the Dominion Copper company, and that the ores from both properties will be treated in the British Columbia smelter." - Coupled with the above information is the fact that the new representative on the British Cblumbia company's directorate, which will become interested to the extent of some $500,000 in the new concern, has mapped out a very progressive policy���which, in deed, is already evident���so that the consolidation'.". will materially brighten the future of mining in,the Boundary Presentation to Mr. Osier On Tuesday evening, prior to his leaving Pbbenix for Seattle, O N. Galer was made the recipient of a purse of $too in gold by his fellow associates connected with the Granby mines. The presentation took place at the shift bosses' office, XV. X. McDonald expressing in well-chosen words the regret of those present in the departure, of Mr. Galer, who had been connected with the mine offices of the company here for several years. Mr. Galer acknowledged his appreciation of their kindness with many references to the pleasant associations which must end and said their kindness would not soon be forgotten. TROUBLE IN STORE FOR NEW DOMINION B. W. Lincoln Here Making An Investigation That Chailes Hayden of New York and his associates, who purchased the properties of the Dominion Copper company at the foreclosure sale in Vancouver last June and have since organized the New Dominion Copper company, may yet have an interesting time in connection with their handling of the affairs of the corporation, is the opinion of a number of the dissenting stock and bondholders of the old company, who, as yet, have not given up hopes of bringing some of the ringleaders in the downfall of the Dom.nion to justice. Phoenix on Wednesday had a visit from H. W. Lincoln, of New York, chairman of the protective committee dissenting stock and bondholders ol the Dominion Copper company ; Henry S. Hooker, ol the corporation law firm of Crocker & Wicks, New York, and Mrs Colborne, who was largely interested in the former company. They arrived by special car over the C.P.R. Messrs. Lincoln and Hooker were piloted over the Dominion pioperties by J. O Ellis, while Mrs. Colborne was entertained by O. 13. Smith, superintendent of Granby mines, and Mrs. Smith. When seen by the Pioneer shortly before their departure Mr. Lincoln stated that ��� he represented $300,000 in stocks and bonds of the former Dominion company and that he had been urged by the dissenting stock and bondholders to thoroughly investigate in the courts the legal right ol the old company and he beileves the drastic manipulation of the affairs by tlie committee require investigation. He thought a visit to the properties would aid him in intelligently working out the plans of the protective committee which may take some months to complete. Mr. Hook'r was accompanying Mr. Iyncoln as legal advisor only. Tlu-y left on the afternoon train for Vancouver by way of the Arrow Lakes. Public schools open next Monday. Beavers are reported to be numerous along.the Eholt creek.

The engine connected with Superintendent Allan Purvis private car brought the train on its journey. The boat race at Christena lake last Sunday proved quite the event of the season at the summer resort. Contrary to expectations the stearp launch owned by Ole Johnson, proprietor of the Christena Lake hotel, won the laurels of the race with a mile to spare ���against the noted 12 h.p. gasoline launch of Messrs. Bertois and Sprag- gett. Another, race is being looked forward to. The British Columbia Timber and Forestry commission, now holding meetings through the interior, will be in Grand Forks on Sept. 18th.

A Chicago Canuck W. K. Pattison of Chicago was a visitor in Phoenix on Thursday. Mr. Pattison is a member of the firm of Pattison & Shaw, legal representatives in connection with the Greenwood- Phoenix Tramway company, but had nothing to communicate in connection with the tunnel corporation. He has visited the Boundary before, where he is already interested in mining proper- lies, but this was his first visit to Phoenix and expressed his pleasure in seeing the stir evident in Canada's big copper camp. Although for years a resident of Chicago, Mr. Pattison is a genuine Canuck and takes a warm interest in Canadian politics, having been a standard bearer ior the Dominion house in the Niagara peninsula some years ago He is a warm admirer of Sir Wilfred'* adminstration. M>. Pattison was pi loted in his trip over the mines by- Duncan Mcintosh of Greenwood. W. D. Haywood Here Sunday William D. Haywood, who, as sec retary of the Western Federation of Miners, was imprisoned for a year in connection with the famous Cripple Creek trouble, will address a meeting m the opera house on Sunday evening (tomorrow) at 8.30. STEWART McGUIRE DROWNED SUNDAY Sad Ending To An Outing at Loon Lake The news of the drowing of Stewart McGuire, manager of John Love's drug store, cast a gloom over the city on Sunday afternoon, and particularly among those with whom he was acquainted and had become very popular during his short residence in Phoenix ��� It was the sad ending to an outing of young men at Loon Lake, near De noio. A paity of a dozen went down to the lake on a handcar to have a bath. McGuire, who had been too late to go with the others, saddled a horse and rode over, and as the otheis were already in the water, he plunged in after them. He swam out about 200 feet towards a raft when he became exhausted, and called to T, Mador, a companion, that he was getting weak. Mador is an expeit swimmer but had just returned from swimming across the lake and was already pretty w��ll exhausted himself. He hunied to McGuire's side, but it required strenuous and heroic effort to battle against the struggles of his drowning companion, to whom he clung with the right arm and swam with the left for a distance of 90 feet. But while still 40 feet from the raft, Mador, too, went under water from exhaustion, and barely managed to escape a watery grave. James Trum- per, who had heard Mador's calls t for help, hastened to , them, but was able to render but little assistance. It was about two hours later before the body of deceased was taken from the water. He was a fairly good swimmer but had evidently gone into the water while warm and become weak through heart failure. The funeral took place to the C. P. R. depot on Tuesday, and was largely attended, impressive services being conducted by Rev. S. Lundie. T Mador, T. Clark, W. McKelvey, J. Shaw, G. .Heidman and F. Connelly, associates of deceased, were pall bearers. Numerous wreathes, and floral pillows were placed upon the coffin and indented Miie esteem in which deceased wis held The remains were shipped to Revelstoke, where interment took place on, Thursday. " Deceased was 21 years of age and came from Revelstoke wheie his mother and sister reside. His father is in Edmonton : one brother, William, lives at Stratford, Ont., and Rev. John McGuire, a brother, is attending medical college in Chicago. Mrs. J. Brown Ewing, a sister, resides in Phoenix. In the death of Stewart McGuire a bright and piomising life was cut short Only next month had he planned on going east to complete his studies as a druggist. His manly, cour teous and generous disposition had won him many friends since coming to Phoenix eight months ago. His death is made the more sad in the fact that his brother-in-law had been killed on the C.P.R. near Revelstoke within the past month, leaving a widow barely out of her teens. A tunnel will shortly be started on the Bruce mine. 1 The Snowshoe's tonnage for year has passed the 100,000 mark. The eight hour day ha3 been arranged for in "glory hole" work at Mother Lode. A car of ore from the Surprise mine at Republic was received at the Granby smelter this week. Snowshoe shipped 4,430 tons of ore this week���the highwater mark of the mine's tonnage for the year. Paul S. Couldrey of the Le Roi No. 2, Rossland, has been appointed superintendent at Mother Lode mine. Laon Lontieris doing some development work on the First Chance, a claim south of Greenwood. There is a forty-foot shaft on the property. The B.C. Copper smelter treated 8,768 tons during the past week, 7,607 tons from Mother Lode mine and 1,161 tons from other properties. Mine Inspector James McGregor of Nelson was in camp for a few days this week, accompanied by F. H. Shepherd of Nanaimo, chief mine inspector for the province. This was Mr. Shepherd's first visit to this section, and he was looking over the larger mines only. He will return later and visit the smaller properties. 1 he British Columbia Copper company have secured a bond on the' Sappho group of claims, near Midway, from fos. Caron, Pete Benson, W. Elson, A. J. lJnd and Chas. Johnson. The bond is for $20,000 ana is given for 18 months. A large amount of development work has already Deen done on the property by the owners and copper values of from 8 to 12 per cent, were secured. There are also good values in gold and silver. RED LETTER DAY AT HEDLEY CAMP Thirteenth is a Lucky Date in the Similkameen Thirteen is sometimes considered an unlucky number, but the thirteenth of August appears to have been an auspicious date at Hedley, in the Similkameen. On Friday of last week the steel of the extension of the V.V." & E. railway, which had been looked forward to for the past two years, reached the camp, and on the same day news was received of the consummation of the big deal for the Nickel Plate mine. The spirits of Hedley citizens rose to a high pitch and joy overflowed. It is no less than the United Steel Trust, said to be composed of three score millionaires, that was represented by M. K. Rogers in the securing of a bond for several millions on the Nickel Plate and big things are looked for at Hedley as a result of the deal having gone through. The sampling of the property was so thorough that nothing short of" big mining ,*"d milling works are. already planned for the property, which holds the record as a gold pro ducer in British Columbia. There is already a 40-stamp mill connected with the mine, at a elevation of nearly 7000 feet by a tramway some r0,000 feet long, but the new corporation's proposed equipment will completely overshadow the present system ofextiacting ihe precious mineral from the Nickel Plate. The advent of the railway transportation to Hedley will be an impetus to mining generally in the district and VV. J. Brown is already applying to the railway company for a spur to the Bulldog claim, which he expects will be a shipper in the near future.

Martin, Phoenix, B. C. A Wonderful Copper Mine The low grade milling of coppers of the southwest have a high standard of perfection to attain if comparisons are made with the Rio Tinto copper mine of Spain. The annual production of the Rio Tinto is about 80,000,000 pounds,' with an average cost of six and two tenths cents per pound. No other big copper producer in the world can reach these cost figures. The property has been producing copper for 3000 year1?, and now employs about 11,000 [iersons, and has ore reserves now blocked out sufficient to continue the present rate of production for 70 years. On the present market price for the shares the property is selling on a valuation of $139,250,000.���Copper Ex.

OFFERS CHEAP LANDS Systematic Effort to Dispose of Railway Grants The Canadian Pacific railway company is'offering land for sale in Southern British1 Columbia for the low price of $5 per acre and to induce settlement in this section of our great pro vince, of hardy, thrifty pioneers they have made the purchase price payable in eight yearly installments, thus giving the settler time to improve his land and make it pay for itself. 'The company has recently issued two books' of very complete information regarding Southern British Columbia and British Columbia generally ���its history, climate, resources, industries, etc. Maps, on which are shown in pink the lands for sale by'-this department, and copies of 'this regulation governing the sale of land in the Columbia & , Western and Columbia & Kootenay land grants with .application forms��� agricultural anJ timber���for these'rail ways and the B.C. Southern. It will be noticed from the recula tions that "first-clsss lands, suital ie for agricultural purposes in their presort' condition or which are capable of being brought under cultivation profitably by' clearing or .which are wild hay meadows" are offered in quarter sections (r 60 acre tracts) for .$5 psr acre, payable one-eighth down and the bal ance* 'in -seven equal annual installments.' That is '62^ cents per acre each year, or $100 down and $roo per year for-seven years for 160 acres��� total $8co. Should the settler select land with timber on it (no part with an average extent of more than 3000 feet board measure per acre for C. & W. land�� or 5000 feet per acre for B.C.S. or C. -& (C. lands is classed as agricultural land) he would be required to pay only $1.00 per thousand feet for the merchantable' timber on the larid. All the remainder that he uses on 'the place, for houses, barns, fences, fuel, eta, is free. These lands in varying-locahties are ideal for general mixed truck, fruit, dairy or stock farming,'as the case may be. The development of southern British Columbia has been very rapid during the 'last Jfew years and the settlers in this country can no longer be properly termed pioneers. Good towns and ciiies are now frequent, along the line of the C.P.R. and the land oUTered for sale is much of it near these towns, where good schools, churches, banks and-all -kinds of stores - have 'been 'established. The simple facts are that the pursuit of agriculture in Southern British Columbia is favored beyond many other sections of Canada and the United States by the natural conditions which exist. And when the price at which the C.P.R. is willing to sell these lands is taken into consideration there is small chance of other lands yielding a better return on the investment. Whait the C.P.R. desires to offer is land so low in cost compared with its yielding capacity that those who investigate carefully cannot but decide in favor of Southern British Columbia. The railway is in a position to sell land at a nominal price for the reason that it is primarily a transportation company and relies for profit from the sale of land mainly on the transportation of the products raised on the land. ACROSS HOPE MOUNTAIN Vancouver Editor Dolls ' Wfth Railroad Con, ���(ruction J. P. McConnell, editor of The Vancouver Saturday Sunset, who writes in his own paper under the name of Bruce, has lately been paying particular attention to the railway situation in this province, and has arrived at the conclusion that a solution lies in the construction of a line through the Hope mountains, which would connect to the souihf-rn interior of the province with the coast, and would also afford an easy route to Vancouver from the Yellowhead pass, via Kam- In his among as it does from Vancouver island to thiS'City^'/::^'.'': ,:The C.PiR. rate on coke makes it prohibitory: The rate Irom live Nicola mines to Vancouver and New Westminster is $2.50 per ton anJ to Lady- smith orCrofton $3.25. The Tacoiria smelter;'.find?it [cheaper to u*e coke from Australia than the Nicola coke can be laid down for. If a reasonable rate on coke could besecured another Fernie would grow up around the Nicola mines. "If a railway connects Aspen Grove and the mines of theSimilkameen with the Nicola coke, one, two, perhaps three smelters will be in operation in a, very few years. A very large population will be developed whose trade wili all come to the coast. "When we get direct connection by a competing line with the coal measures of Nicola and Similkameen we not only bring a rich trade to the coast, but we will break the monopoly of the island extortionists who levy >n- just tribute on this province by charging exorbitant prices for a life necessity." loops and the Nicola valley, issue of last Saturday he says other things: "What is needed, among other things in the government's railway policy, is di-ect connection whh the Nicola and Similkameen, such a line being also a direct connection wit;i the Boundary, Kootenay and Okanagan. That line to be effective as a short line must cross t!ie Hope mountains. "Now that is not all that is needed. We must have a line competing with the C.P.R. It will boost the province little if the C.P.R. builds the only line across the Hope. British Columbia wants competition in rates on coal, coke, cattle and produce from the interior to the coast, and we want competition in rates on goods from the coasrto the interior. Today the rate is $1.80 per ton on coal, and the haul is only about 220 miles, all down hill. That helps to perpetuate and make secure the monopoly'of the extortionists who hold up the people of this city for soft coal and make them pay $7.50 a ton, though there is only a 40-mile water 'haul between here and the mines. Toronto is kicking like a pinto steer just now because "t^e best anthracite coal is advanced to $6.75, In seven weeks 68 buildings weie though it costs three times as much to erected in Prince Rupeit al a total transport it to that city from ihe mines c st uf $9J,|oo.

Zinc blende, carrying 52 per cent zinc values with a variation of not more than one per cent is being shipped from the Lucky Jim mine to ihe fullest hauling capacity of the K. & S. railway, with prospects; of the output being at least doubled as early as transportation facilities can be arranged.

The recent staking of a number of claims across the lake, through the Campbell creek valley, gives promise of renewed prospecting, activity in that section. Leviathan claim is a huge low-grade gold proposition and with some proper methous of saving the values would prove a good workable proposition. There are a number ol iron-capped ledges on the other side of the lake, all giving more or less values upon assay. ��� Subscribe for the Pioneer and get the latest Boundary news.

His letter, follows: While there is already abundant evidence that we shall have the greatest display of minerals at the Spokane Interstate Fair next September that was ever shown shown at the grounds, it still lemains for a number of districts and many mines to be heard from. ' The opportunity which will be afforded the miners to have their exhibits examined by several hundred of the most prominent mining engineers on this continent or any other should be all the inducement required to call out 11 display from every mine in the Northwest. Will you not urge the miners cf your locality to get busy and get, out the best display possible, and if a party cannot be sent with the exhibits pack them carefully at the proper time, of which they will receive due notice, and send them ��� in' with such mips, photos and descriptions as will best advertise the mines".

Such fires could be prevented, almost without exception, by a little extra care on the pait of the campers, who have been the unintentional cause of much forest destruction, and who have just as real an interest in the preservation of the forests as the owners of the timber themselves. The rules given above are the result of long experience and observation on the part of many woodsmen and lumbermen as to the origin of fires from this cause, and are earnestly commended to the attention of campers, sportsmen and others. ll ^5. ��J?

Company Among the many promising properties in Wellington camp, which is at present the scene ofmuch mining activity j is the Woodburn group, located on the eastern . slooe ��� of Winnipeg mountain and owned by the Phoenix Mining, Smelting & Development com pany.... ;/'..' There are three claims in this group ���the Woodburn, Woodburn Fraction and Lucky Shot Fiaction���which comprise an area of 130 acres. The property was acquired by the above company in June, 1908, and the fact that sufficient stock was sold locally, principally among miners, to keep up continuous work in the undertaking speaks highly for the Woodburn, and indicates the confidence of those knowing the property as to its probability of making a mine. Prior to the acquisition of the property by the company, the Carson brothers who were the previous owners, had done considerable surface work on the claims, exposing ore ranging in value, from $9 to $38 per ton in gold and copper. �� The ore exposed lies between two porphyry dikes, and the management are at present pushing the long tunnel to cut this ore at a depth of 400 feet. The 600-foot point in the tunnel has been passed, and, according to survey, the ore will be encountered when the tunnel has been driven from 700 to 800 feet. The Woodburn is well located as regards transportation, the Great Northern railway : running through the Lucky Shot claim, from where a 1200- foot spur will reach the mouth of the tunnel now leing driven on the Wood- burn claim. Only one shift of miners is employed at present, so the progress of work is naturally slow. The ground is very hard to develop and the management has decid:d to install machinery, which move wi 1 hasten work and reduce the cost. For this purpose another 100,000 shares will be placed on the market at probably 15 cents per share. We understand there is still some 225,000 shares in the treasury. The directors of the company are Steve Swans'on, John Swanson, Robert Fraser, J. E. XV. Thompson, William Delahay, Juiius Carson, Nelson Carson and James Summers, which not only includes some of our most prominent busines" men, but some of the Boundary's most competent ore experts. According to the opinions expressed by some of the leading mining men of the Boundary there is good reason to believe that the time is approaching wheft^the Woodburn will be a shipper. What Three Years' Development Has Accomplished For Carney Copper On August 24th, 190O, I took a bond on a group of claims, on Willow Creek, three and one-half miles south east of Mullan, Idaho, known as the Carney group. After spending $3450 of my own funds on the surface and in Tunnel No. r, I organized the Carney Copper Company, Limited. The company owns 8 full and 3 fractional claims and a water record, capable of developing 100 horse power at the minimum and 500 horse power at the maximum flow. It is safe to say that for 9 months in the year, we can produce 300 horse power. This power will be completed and applied for the development of the mine by the middle of October During the three years a glory nole at the outcrop, 30 x 50 feet, has been opened from which 24 tons of ore were sacked for shipping. Tunnel -No. .1 was driven 2S7 feet with the the gratifying result of 90 feet upon the ore and a crosscut of 26 feet without en countering either wall. At the face of the vertical depth is now J20 feet, where we are gaining foot for foot as we advance. The average value of this 26 feet of ore is about ^3% copper, with much of it running from 6 to 50% Tunnel No. 2 has been driven 875 feet. It was estimated by Mr. Phinney, our engineer,- in his first report, before No. 2 was started, . that it would require 1000 feet to reach the ore chute on this, the 500 foot level. We lack 125 feet of having- that estimate done, and indications are such as to lead us to not be surprised, should the report come any day that ore had heen encountered. We have two shifts in No. 2 and one in No. r. ..We built a good trail and a comriiodious bunk and cook house and surveyed and cleared the title .to the claims.. We have money and more than 350,060 shares of stock in the treasury. The Wallace, (Idaho), correspondent for the Spokane Spokesman-Review in the issue of Aug. ,16ih, .in reviewing the prosperous conditions of the Coeur d' Alehes, says: "The management of the Carney group is elated over recent disclosures of the development work. In the face of the drift now only 90 feet in, there is four feet of solid chalcopynte. copper. The miners were brought back 20 feet fromY the face where the ore was richest, and have crosscut the vein for 20 feet, with no opposite wali in sight. Experts declare that the present showingvis far superior to that made in the.upper workings of the Snowstorm. The Carney grouj., is situated half a mile north of the Copper Queen. The recent strike has caused A. P. McRae and associates to resume development on their group of claims adjoining the Carney on the east." Only a few shares more at S% cents. T. L. Martin.
