The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916.

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.

HOTEL KEEPERS ARE ORGANIZED Have \"We expect to build a new smelter j ciding on initial steps for the extensive in the Boundary at an eatly date,\" said Mr. Samuel Newhouse, Wednesday to the Pioneerman. \"The present smelter which the Dominion Copper Co. owns at Boundary Falls, recently, acquired in a deal for the 'Ipntreal & Boston mines, is not adapted for econ- omical operation. It has no ore bin room, \"or coke bin room, and is lacking in room for, a slag Jump. The\"slag dump room should be sufficient to last 25 years At least in building a smelter. We have not yet decided where the smelter will ��be constructed, but it is likely to be either at Greenwood or operations which the company is about to undertake here. When asked as to when active operations at the properties were to be undertaken, Mr. Newhouse said : \"Inside, of ten days, systematic development will be under way at the Brooklyn, Stemwinder and Rawhide mines, and we shall employ just as large a force as we can \"to advantage. Con siderable work must be done before the properties are ready to maintain an output of 1,000 tons of ore per diem, the amount which we expect to ship when our preparations are all completed.

About the first of September I ;shall send.a competent-engineer here; Mr. Gerald B.

As I s;.y, there is impossibility of our doing this.;---. In; any &^hf, how-ever^we have practically decided to build a new smelter to treat our ores at a point yet to be determined.\" It is understood that the company is ready to spend-a million dollars in the Boundary. ;: Senator Miller stated that all details of the transfer from the Montreal & Boston has beerrcompleted, and that ample capitaljis in the treasury for all purposes to \"carry out the extensive programme outlined by the directors. A meeting of the board is to be held on their return to New York, when the head, office will be transferred from Toronto to New York, and a number of important matters settled.' Morris Untermeyer, a member of the -legal firm above referred to, and himself counsel for the Dominion Copper Co.,stated that the members of the parly were greatly pleased with the company's properties which they had examined. They had matters now in shape where they had plenty of money to' spend on them, and they intended to spend it to the best possible advantage; and with the least possible delay. The party left over the Great Northern Wednesday, intending to visit the Portland Exposition before . returning east. ' Dellthtcd With the dranby. This week George F. Peck, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was a visitor here, on his way to the Portland Exposition. Mr. Peck is a shareholder in the Granby Co., and stopped.at the smelter before coming to Phoenix. Here he was shown over the mines by Supt. Smith; To a Pioneer man he expressed himself as simply astonished at what he had seen of the company's operations, which he said were away beyond what he had imagined j although he is 3 regular reader of the Pioneer. He was particularly impressed with the economy with which ore was extracted and treated at the smelter, and left on Wednesday feeling. that the visit was well worth while, and that his investment was an excellent one. Mr. Peck, who is a prominent grocer in the Michigan city, was accompanied by a friend, Henry F.Walch, a gentleman who enjoys the distinction of having been a United States court stenographer for more than 40 years���one of the oldest in the service���-having used the first typewriter that was invented. All Over the Boundary BRING SUIT FOR $17,440 Munroes Against Montreal & Boston. Latter Will Bring a Criminal Action. In connection wi'h the visit this week of the officials of the Dominion Copper Co. to Phoenix, a prelty legal fight is brewing between Munroe & Munroe and H. T. Pemberton of the Montreal & Boston Consolidated, and the officials of the Dominion company, which assumed certain liabilities of the former company in taking over the properties. In an interview in the Spokane Spokesman-Review this week, Maurice Untermeyer is quoted as follows : \"There is a serious legal question in connection with the company's affairs as they now stand,\" said Mr. Untermeyer, who is general couirsel' for the company, \"and you may quote me as follows : We found that certain employes of the former company, who were representing the company in a fiduciary capacity, have been dipping their hands into the treasury. An action for accounting has been commenced against one H. T. Pemberton. Actions for accounting will be taken, against these parties and criminal proceedings instituted. A. M. Whiteside of Greenwood, is the company's local attorney and has these matters in hand. No efforts will be spared to bring these people to book.\" Suit has already been commenced by Munroe & Munroe against the Montreal & Boston for the sum of 517,449, which evidently the new officials of the Dominion Copper Co. have declined to pay. There is no douht but that Mr. Untermeyer will fight this suit to the bitter end, and if he carries out his intentions there will soon be other actions at law pending, with interesting developments to follow. The new company's operations, however, will not be affected in the least. Warner Miller and Leopold Herrmann, both of New York, are president and secretary, respectively, of both the Montreal '& Boston Consolidated and the Donvnion Copper Co. J. A. Morrin returned to Midway Tuesday,. taking with him Alex. Strachan and a crew of four carpenters to. erect the firm's new store building there. Rev. C. Wellesley Whittaker, went over to Rossland Tuesday to attend the annual financial district meeting of the Methodist church, and will be there till Monday next. W. T. Choate, C. P. R. agent at Eholt, is acting as dispatcher at Nelson for three months. E. H. Trethe- way, relieving agent, is at Eholt in Mr. Choate's place. Pa'rick Welch, the railway contractor, was in the city this week. He has recently received a $2,000,000 contract on the Alaska Central railway, and has sent his brother, Martin Welch, to that icy country. W..-H. P. Clement, of Grand^Eorks, has been appointed county court judge of Kootenay, vice Andrew Leamy, deceased. Mrs. B. F. Petch\"died at her home in Greenwood last week Friday, after an extended illness, having been in the hospital for some months. At the meeting of the Boundary Creek license commissioners, held at Midway last week, no new licenses were granted, those having applications in withdrawing them. Several trans fers, however, were passed favorably upon. Last Saturday night John Mitchell, dairyman at Eholt, committed suicide by shooting himself at his home. He had been drinking quite heavily and became despondent Mrs. Mitchell was absent at the time but returned on Sunday. Monday Dr. Kingston, coroner, of Grand Forks, was in Eholt, but decided that an inquest was unnecessary, under the circumstances. Mitchell had resided at Eholt for several years. Sketch lor New City Hall. Mayor Rumberger and Aldermen Brown, Marshall and Carson were present at this week's meeting of the city council. A bill of $6 from the Rossland Engineering Works was paid, and one of $26 from the Phoenix General Hospital, for care of James Hicks, was turned down, it being claimed that Hicks was not a city patient. Trades License Amendment by-law was read a second time, and a sketch by H. A. Wright for a new city hall was submitted to the council. The mayor was requested to consult with Mr. Wright further and secure plans for the new building for approval. An estimate of $4,000 for tts cost has been made. Last Wednesday a party of four Chicago gentlemen completed ah examination of the properties of the Chicago British Columbia Mining Co., which are located in Skylark camp, about two miles and a half from Phoenix. In the party were John Gerts, vice-president of the company, who is a piano manufacturer; Nic Kuhnen, treasurer, a wagon manufacturer; Theo. T. Mueller, in the employ of the city of Chicago, and Louis Warneke, a prominent business man in the Windy City. They were met here by Harry H. Shallenherger, the manager of the company, who showed them over the property. On their return the visitors expressed themselves as more than pleased with the resullt of the development thus far at the high grade mines of the company. They had never been in the Boundary-before, and stopped off here while out west on a trip to the Portland Exposition. Mr. Gerts, who last year erected a building in his home city that cost $200,000, stated that the visit was a most interesting one to him, and he was glad to have been able, to see the company's mines. . i, The ground owned consists of the Lake, ldola, Yellowstone fraction, Creicent fraction and Don Pedro, 177 acres in all. Considerable work has been done on the Lake claim, where there is a 165 foot shaft, with crosscuts and good ore. But lately the work has been going on at the Don Pedro, whereore is being stoped from a 96 foot drift in the 80 foot shaft that is expected to give better than $100 per ton in gold, silver and copper. A shipment to.-the smelter will soon?-be made. WILL BE READY IN SIX MONTHS.

On the Gold Bug the tunnel is now in about 330 feet, being driven by days labor since the 30b foot contract was completed by Martin McHale. Last week a .Byron & Jackson centrifugal pressure electric pump was in- \" ~ stalled at the 400 foot level of the Old Ironsides mine by Electrician Lane. The pump is operated by a 75-h.p.

Flewelling, formerly vicar of the Church of England in Phoenix, but who has spent the last two years in Dawson, is reported to have accepted the rectorship of the Church of England in Greenwood. Mrs. W. B. Willcox left for Seattle Tuesday, where she will visit her mother and afterwards take in the Portland Fair. She was accompanied by her little daughter Elizabeth. A. H. Sheppard returned this week from a five weeks' prospecting trip in the Cascade range. He located half a dozen golden and silver claims about 40 miles northeast of the head of Butte inlet, and may return to that country. He left yesterday for Spokane to place his two boys in school. Chief Engineer J. H. Kennedy, of the V., V. & E., went out on the Gt. Northern Thursday, bound for Ottawa, where he will appear before the railway commission on August 29th. He made the trip from Princeton to Phoenix in a little over two days, using special teams most of the distance. Chief Engineer Hoagland, of the Great Northern, is continuing on through the Hope mountains. Three. Compartment Granby Shaft. J. P. Graves, general manager of the Granby Co., came up from Spokane Thursday with Mrs. Graves and Supt. Hodges, and will return probably today. While here Mr. Graves went over the company's mines with Mr. Hodges and Mr. Smith, and discussed further enlargements and improvements for the properties. He stated that the new three compartment shaft will be completed in about six months, in time for the installation of the extensive head works equipment, for which specifications are now being prepared and tenders invited. Meanwhile the exploration of the 400 foot level is steadily going on with crosscuts and drift=, and the winze from the 300 foot to the 400 foot level is also being steadily sunk to the 500 foot level, some distance of this incline being already attained, Latest Prices la Metals.

Last Saturday the miners employed by. the*;Crow's .Nest Pass Coal Co., at\" Fernie, '��� Michel and Morrissey, qtlit work at the tall of President Sherman, of the United Mine Workers of America, the reason given being that the company had repeatedly broken the explicit agreement made but a few months: ago. Blacksmith's wages had been cut, among other things. Supt. Drinnan, however, met a committee of the miners, and agreed to their requests until the return of General Manager Lindsay, who is now away on a trip to England, when the entire matter will be gone over by both parties.: Considerable concern was felt lest the strike might be extended, and again affect the smelters of Kootenay and Boundary in the coke supply, and thereby cause a shut down of the metalliferous mines. This danger, however, has been averted lor the present, and it is believed that the matters in dispute will be satifactorily arranged. ��� Granby officials have found it necessary this week to have men watch the bush fires from the Bonnington power line right of way. Thursday a hose line was stretched from the compressor building, as a matter of precaution. The fire that has been burning in Skylark camp for some weeks, is working up this way and doing much damage to standing timber.

If there is a place in the different minings sections of British1 Columbia that has made more substantial, steady, reliable progress in the lait five years than Phoenix, we have yet to hear of - it. We had what'is commonly known as a-boom^hefe some' years ago, and we experienced the settling down���to say nothing-of settling up���time that followed it.- -We know exactly- what that sort of -thing means, and having tried both we are \"satisfied that the good old method of natural growth is the most satisfactory, in the long run, to all-concerned. But do the residents of this little city,' situated nearly 5,000 feet among the clouds, realize what nature has done for them in its entirety? We think we do, sometimes, but the chances are. that we fail to grasp its full significance���to understand what it means for; the years to come. We have all heard the stories of our large mines,. again and again. Some,of us have seen them and examined them, and yet failed to appreciate their lasting worth as an industrial backing for decades to come' to the country in general. ' * ' In all communities there are, and always will be, individuals who are unable to make, good, no matter how favorable the conditons may be. Such people have resided in Phoenix-. But the \"man\"who mixed sufficient capital with his brains, in'a business' way, in Phoenix has made a is'uccess of it; as' he always .does wherever he may casi' his lot. What is needed is the greater cultivation of the Phoenix spirit���the belief that we have the backing that will some day make this one of the most famous and prosperous mining' camps in the west. The handwriting is on the wall, and it cannot be evaded, whatever we, in our humble opinion,, may think about it. Phoenix has a clima'e second to none. The summers and autumns are all that could be desired, not too warm or too cold. The winters are sometimes a trifle long, but when it comes to comfort, the mercury is usually from ten to twenty degrees higher here i'n winter than in other places in the district And then, we get some value out of our winters, for we have enough of them so that winter sports can be enjoyed to the full���which is one of the compensations for their length. Residents of Phoenix have much to be thankful for, and they should show it by always saying a good word for the place, by patronizing home institution.' whenever possible���in this way showing their faith in the.ultimate greatness and importance of the place, which is now settled beyond peradventure. Cultivate the Phpienix spirit.., 1 ,. .buncan Ross, M.P., on his return from Ottawa, immediately proceeded to stir things up through the 'columns of his paper, the Greenwood Times. Mr. Ross made certain charges against the Boundary Creek license commissioners and against. George A. Fraser, M.L.A., in connection therewith. As to their truth or \"falsity we are not authoritively informed, and doubtless the gentlemen interesled will be able: to take care of themselves',, and in due time it will be.known, how little or how much ground there was for the charges. Buf in the meantime, stories come from the Okanagan which place Mr; Ross 'himself in anything, but a favorable light before the electors who sent him ,to Ottawa. If the tales are true, Mr. Ross has some explaining to do himself, and it remains to be seen whether he can do it to the satisfaction of his constituents, especially those resident in or near Penticton. A: H. Wade, postmaster at Penticton, had'been a faithful servant of the! postoffice department, we are told, for twenty years, and has recently been dismissed from the service. This was; done' in spite of the fact that out of a' possible 125 signatures', 115 of them were put down petitioning Mr. Wade's retention in office. Mr.t Wade's official, superiors are free to\" testify to his faithfulness, integrity and general fitness for .the positidh. Not a word has been breathed as to his dereliction of duty. He was merely dismissed, and that was all there was supposed to be to the matter.

Parke Charming, president of the Tennessee Copper Co:,, was a visitor in l'hoenix last Saturday, heing .accom panied by J. E. McAllister,-superintendent of the;Biitish Columbia Cop'-' per Co.'s smelter at Greenwood. Mr. McAllister had charge of theTenne see Copper Co., previous to accepting his present position, more than two years ago. Mr. Charming also visited the properties of the'British Columbia Copper Co., and she smelting, works of the Granby Co. at Grand Forks. In the last few yeais the Tennesee Copper Co. has forged to the front as a producer of copper, Last year above S,000,000 pounds of refined copper were produced by the company, this year it is likely to be about 10,000,000 pounds, and next year, owing to improvements and enlargements, it is expected to be close to 20,000,000. The company's mines and smelter are located at or near Copperhill, Polk county, Tennessee, and emplcy abom 70b men. The mines are developed to a depth of some 600 feet, and have nearly 3,000,000 tons blocked out, the ore being low grade, running from z\"/a to 4% copper. The smelting plant was designed by Mr. Channing, and consists of three water jacket blast furnacas,'with a capacity of some 1,500 tons of ore daily. The company operates its own line of railway from mines to smelter, which are close to the state line of Georgia. Mr. Channing was much interested with what he saw of the practice of mining and smelting in the Boundary, of which he had previously heard a good deal.' COLEMAN'S RECORD COAL OUTPUT. International Mine Ships Fourteen Hundred Tons Saturday. Coleman's big coal mine made a great record for its.'lf Saturday, surpassing all previous figures for a day's output by a single shift, says the Frank Paper. The output amounted to 1400 tons, all of which was taken by the C. P.R. This was done without in any way robbing the mine, as with each ton of coal taken out more ground is being opened up, so swelling the reserves of the property. The company is exceed ingly pleased with the way things are going at its mine, and Manager Galer states that were three shifts working an output of 3000 tons of coal per day could be maintained with equal ease. In addition to the coal being shipped, there is a certain quantity being handled daily through the coke ovens, the output of which is sent to British Columbia points. . With the new cok ing seam being opened, the company is preparing plans for the early con struction of 100 additional coke ovens giving a total of upwards of 200. These when finished will be worked to the limit. The situation at Coleman is steadily improving and there is every ��� assurance that the town has a prosperous future.

The promotors of the new weekly must have-an idea that newspaper publishers enjoy a bed of roses; that money comes easy to the man who drives the quill, and that, therefore, they wiil make an effort to secure a share of it in the re juvenated' railwaystgwn. 1 $ Theyi.may need! the money, but if so, they are taking the longest and haidest way to get it. Ask any publisher in the Boun dary about it. As to a daily, the publishers of both the Greenwood Times and the Grand Forks Gazette could give some heartfelt pointers along this line, both of those papers having tried the experiment to their financial cost. ������ ���Sam Coulter, who has become.famous in Nelson because he was the bone of contention, as fire\" team driver, be tweeh Mayor .John Houston and a majority of the city council, is once more'at his old work. It is, perhaps, needless to remark that the doughty John, has been out of the city for a few weeks. On his return municipal affairs in Nelson are more than likely to assume their wonted liveliness���and Mr. Coulter may be discharged for the tenth time. Later.���Mr. Coulter has filially cut the knotty problem by re signing: ��� It has been remarked in Phoenix lately that more important parties of mining men from the east have visited the Boundary this year than ever before'in the history of the country. Which is another way of saying that men of means are awakening to the really \"excellent \"opportunities here for the legitimate investment of capital.

Don't overlook the fact that the Phoenix Pioneer makes a specialty of fine job work���the kind that you, mayhap, have been looking for. 1-Jarry H., Shalleriberger.tlie subje t of this Little Biography, was born at Brownsville, Penn'., near Pittsburg, on February 13, 1867,?'and started**west when 13 years of age, living for a few years; at Streator,\". 111. ��� In 1882 he struck out for the far west, reaching Spokane, in the -neighboring state of Washington, in that'\" year, where he followed the calling of contractor aiVd builder-for'eight or ten years. ������ In common with many Spokaneites he hadjieard much of British' Columbia, and in 1893 he decided to try his fortunes in' the mining districts.: In the siirhmer of that year he reached what is now 'the Boundary 'country; having: previously prospected over the ground where R'o'ssland now stands. The party which'he organized to visif the Bouiridary^country consisted7of R. G. Mack, who later located the well known Athlestan mine in Wellington camp.1 Bruce WBile, of the Slocan Star mine,~ and J. C. Hass, M. E., who joined the Shallenberger party at Christina lake. They came over the \"Dewdney trail to the Boundary prop er, there being no railways, wagon roads or other trails\" in those days, having to cut out the Dewdney trail all the-way from Rossland to Boundary creek, i The party ' stopped first at Boundary Falls, rwhere the smelter is riow located, that being the only settlement in this section at that time. Before this Mr.\"WHite left and went back to the Slocan. The first location made by Messrs Shallenberger, Mack and Haas was the Crescent, two miles from Greenwood, in Providence camp, this being in Au gust, 1893. This claim is now owned and operated by Mr. Shallenberger and Col. T.. L. Dickason and associates, of Chicago. The Crescent is one of the several high grade properties of this camp, that .have recently come to the front, and has several hundred feet of development work done, Mr. Shal lenberger being in immediate charge, It has three shafts, ranging from 16 to 125 feet in depth, with some crosscut- ting, and having ore that runs $100 in gold, copper, silver and lead. Ore is being shipped to the smelter this week from the Crescent. Mr. Shalienberger also located several other promising properties among whi?h are the Yellowstone fraction, the Crescent fraction and the Idola,, in 1895, which, wilh other claims, he sold to the Chicago British Columbia Mining Co., in-i9oi.;These claims are now also being developed under the supervision of Mr. Shallenberger, with most encouraging results. :The main shaft on the property is down 165 leet, with 100 feet of crosscuttjng, with considerable ore, a' 20-foot\" vein having been encountered in sinking, with copper and gold values. The proptrty has a-goo'd machinery equipment, and work is being carried on farther up the hill on the Don Pedro where, in a 90 foot drift from an So-shaft a good Udge has been found, and from which a ship ment will shortly be made/\" Mr. Shallenberger is known as a cartful and conservative mining man, who has taken advantage of his opportunities to study the mineral zones of the Boundary thoroughly. He' lives at the Crescent mine with his wife and child, where good bunk and boarding houses have been erected. Miss Msria Dachartno, 182 St. KUzo- ��eth street, Montreal, Can., writes: \" \"I im satisfied that thousands ot women suffer because they do not realize how bad they, really need treat* ' ment and fool a natural dolioacy in consulting a physician. 7- '-I felt badly for years, had terrible 'pains, and at times was unable to attend to my dally duties.
