[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.

Limited. The property, which, is located 30 miles east of l'hoenix, is producing rich copper ore, with values in gold and stiver. Mr. Dempster suites the clean ore dumps are a veiy fine sight and believes it is as line ore as has ever been mined i i the piovince. The results of some 30 assays of these dumps had given an average of 5.3 per cent, copper and $4.20 gold. A very careful average taken through the face of the slope last week gave a result of 7.5 per cent., copper apart from gold and silver values. Another sample from an accumulated pile of ore during the previous two days showed 10 per cent, oopperin addition to values in gold and silver. ■■.■•■.'. 1-ieore in the stopewas at present, continued Mr. Dempster, six feetJiin width with a large body of lower gride- ore, b t of commercial value alongside. This latter body has been crosscut for nearly 30 feet, all in ore, the values ranging from $5 to $15 in copper and gold. ..This crosscut was now being driven with a view to encountering the boundary or hanging wall. At various points in the tunnel run in for nearly 600 feet on the vein, \alues have been obtained of 5 per cent, copper and as high as $18 and even^$2_,in gold. ■'; To get a true knowledge of this huge deposit crosscuts at frequent intervals will be, immediately lun. The showing at the ' glory hole, where the rich sulphides come right to the surface, is a sight worth seeing, said Mr. Dempster. 'I he new kitchen and dining.hall/is now complete and is up-to-date "in every particular, more nearly resembling the accommodation of a good hotel than a miuirig;camp, but it is in line w:th th. management's desire, to give every comfort and convenience to its employees.

V V ' Several large blocks.of chalcopyrite ore from tne Fife property, recently assayed ran 1 5 per cent, copper in addition 10 gold and silver. Ches from the mine also carry considerable values in azurite. Smith Is Wanted The Police of Vernon have offered a reward ol $250 for the arrest of Alex. Smith, who is wanted in connection with the burning of the Okanagan hotel, at Vernon, in which eleven lives were lost. It is said that Smith disappeared from Vernon immediately after the fire. He is 5 feet 9 inches in height, smooth shaven, of dark complexion, pale face, with a hole on tbe left jaw, 35 years old, slim build, and weighs 160 pounds. C. P. R. OFFICIALS HERE ON VISIT Inspect Trackage and Proposed Lines. David E. McNicoll of Montreal, v.ce-president of the C.P.R., who is on his annual tour of inspection of the company's lines through British Columbia, was a visitor in l'hoenix on Monday. He was accompanied by F. F. Busteed of Vancouver, general superintendent of the Pacific Division; R. A. Pine of Nelson, master mechanic, and Allan Purvis, local superintendent. They arrived by special train and after making a general inspection of local trackage left for Rossland. They also inspected ihe route ol the proposed line to Wellington camp, as well as the proposed siding to the Consolidated company's Phoenix Amalgamated mine. Everything is in readiness to construct the latter, but it is understood the company have not vet secured the authority of the railway commission to proceed. It is probable the matter will be considered by the commission when they meet at Nelson about November 1st. VV. J. Camp, of Montreal, inspector of C.P.R. telegraphs, and Mrs. Camp, and J. Wilson, superintendent at Vancouver, also arrived with the railwa) officials. They were guests at the Brooklyn hotel during the afternoon, driving to Greenwood in the evening Watch tbe Boundary Grow At Grand Forks, on Aug. 23, to Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Pleaven, a daughter.

Tunnelling to the extent of 1260 feet has been done, and work is-now being done 346 feet below the collar of the shaft. The tunnel of the E.Pi U.' is the* longest of any small ^property in the Boundary, and will ipermit of a fine gravity system for handling the output. Ore shipped :from the property several years ago •netted $66 per ton. The Riverside claim on the West Fork, near Rock Creek, held by the Perkins estate, was bonded during the past week to John H Arnold, of Col umbus, Ohio, for $16,000. The bond calls for a concentrating plant to be erected on the property , within four months and the payments extend over two years. Considerable development work was done on the claim in 1907 when the property was under bond to a Phoenix syndicate. Ninety tons -of sample ore were shipped, with very satisfactory results. The recent firmness of British-Columbia Copper is due to the reopening of the mines, and the fact the company expects to. enjoy a good .production within a comparatively short time, comments a N.Y. financial paper. It •has been stated that the company can lay copper in New York for 7.963c. a pound, which includes mining, smelting, transportation, selling commission and other expenses. Insiders have been keeping the price down with a view to buying a quantity of tbe stock, and since Adolph Lewishon became a director* in the company, several new purchasers have appeared in the market. The directors have planned to declare a dividend when a surplus of somewhat over. $20.0,000 shall be collected, and this would have been done some while ago, if the strike and other difficulties in the price of the metal had not prevented. . $U5 FOR BASEBALL ; HERE ON LABOR DAY Attractive ^ Progr^inof Sports Now About Completed j A The various committees in charge of the big Miners'; Union, picnic tri Phoenix on Labor, Day are working diligently tomake'ihe"event the most successful in the history of l'hoenix union celebrations. The spl.ndid program of sports and ; attractions is now about completed, and there is every reason to expect that all visitors, to Phoenix on Sept. ^th-will spend an enjoyable day. f> ' : Among the leading- attractions, will be baseball matches. It is not defi; nitely known as yet what teams will participate, but. as a purse of $115 is hung up, divided into two prist s, there is no doubt* matches between some good teams from ' (the^ sun ounding cities may be looked for.4 ... .• Attractive posters have been distributed through outlying districts that "they who run may read," and before the end of next week complete program. of. the sports will be -issued for the benefit of all interested in- the picnic. Every businessman in. Phoenix should see that he is represented in the pro-, gram for it will be carefully examined by hundreds of visitors as well as home people. ' HANDSOME GIPT TO WM FRASER ! Presented Wllb,Gold Watch. Chain and Locket on Monday Evening William Fraser, who has held the position of master mechanic at Granby. mines for nearly a decade, leaves^ shortly for Lethbridge;-""Alberta; to" accept a similar position. His long: connection' with the mines' here 'made him one of the ;best known., men^on Granby hill; arid hiir-departurfe" is"" a; source of regret to his-many friends. On/Monday evening; a number of, the'officia.s and others,connected with: the Granby mine met.a.t his home,and1 presented Mr. Fraser with a beautiful gold .watch and chain, and a' Masbnic emblem locket. XV.:Xr'-"' McDbnald in! an eloquent address ..expressed- •! the regret of his Mlow-employees in> 'Mr.' Fras«r's.departure aft_r such long and: pleasant.'.relations' at i.the .nunfe. Mr/ Fraser, who appeared deeply moved by: the/hbrior" done him, was unable to. •speak Mother. Umn,t^ gift'arid their kind expressions ^hich he greatly appreciated. ^ :! : Oraobv Consolidated the end of August, elapsed Mr Mi am, With the end of August, eight months will have elapsed since there has been a disbursement on the shares of the Granby Co. Notwithstanding this, stockholders hold tenaciously to their shares and a price better than par is maintained, says the News Bureau. The bulk of Granby's shares is closely held. Among those credited with large holdings are J. J. Hill, the First National Bank of New York, the American Metal and Nichols Copper companies, and H. L. Higginson, of [,ee'__ Higginson, New York. During 190S the company paid two dividends of $2 each, the last one in December. Expenditures have been made for enlargement of the smelting ilant to a capacity of 40,000,00c iiounds or more. There is one disadvantage which icts against Granby ranking with tin 'mvest cost producers—the distanct •rom eastern refineries and markets. hereby necessitating a long haul foi itfie company's product. Fires In the Boundary Bush fires have been raging in many parts of the interior and did considerable damage in the Bpundaryduring the past week. On Tuesday night 5060 ties were destroyed at Fisherman, near Eholt. Further destruction of property was pre-ented by a gang of men,1 who were repairing a bridge at that point," taking prompt action and worked all night. The engine of a^passing freight train was pressed into service and hauled water from a nearby supply, thus saving another pile of '5000 ties. Fire raged in the vicinity Of the Bonanza mine on the North Fork, but the mine buildings were kept safe. The Koo.t enay Power company's lines were also threatened early in the week. JAS. G. McKEOWN IS THE NEW ALDERMAN Elected Over John Mcintosh on Thursday James G. McKeown was on Thursday elected to fill the vacancy in the city council for the east ward over John Mcintosh by a majority of 12 votes. A comparatively small per centage of ratepayers voted, there being a general feeling that either of the men would make a good alderman, while the best of feeling existed between the candidates. Seventy-two votes were cast, 42 for Mr. McKeown and 30 for Mr. Mcintosh. Mr. McKeown is one of the oldest property owners in Phoenix, is familiar with the conditions of the city and th. requirements of a civic official and should make a decided acquisition to the aldermanic board. The bye-election was necessitated by the declaring vacant of P. J. Cook't seat on account of prolonged absence.

Gazette. HAYWOOD ADDRESSES LARGE AUDIENCE In Miners' Union Hall Sunday- Evening Last Sunday the large opera house of Phoenix Miners' Union hall was crowded with an audience to hear William D. Haywood, the ex-secretary of the Western Federation of Miners. A review of the W.F. of M. with an account of the great trial at Boise was the theme upon which Mr. Haywood spoke for two hours. He made a strong plea in favor of Socialism. He did not ask his auditors, however, to vote for the Socialist paity until they were coiiviuct-d it was the best course to pursue. Mr Haywood told how the Western Federation of Miners was born in 1892 amid much trials and tribulal.ons in the Panhandle of Idaho, with the idea of having a strong organization which would include all the mines of the West. Its main objects were to in ciease wages, shoit_n the hours of those engaged and to generally better the condition of its members. This aroused strong opposition of mine owneis, and war, he declared, had been carried on vigorously against the organization. He reviewed tbe strikes in Idaho and Colorado, the calling out of the troops and the turmoil which followed. Then followed a recital of the arrest of Moyer, Pettibone and himself at Denver on a charge of muider in which they were rushed into Idaho without authority of law. The irons, the chains, the cells in which they were confined were vividly describfd. He paid his respects to McPartland and Orchard, desciibing theni as the Kirg and Prince of detectives. Detectives, he asset ted, were the meanest men on earth. He thanked the unions everywhere for raising the splendid fund to fight the legal battle and prove their innocence The meeting concluded with cheers for the speaker.
