[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.

Devoted to the Interests of the Boundary Mining: District 'N^TOmA,!*. PHOENIX, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1904. No. 7 CAN YOU SEE THE GJ. RAILS Within Sight of Phoini* Today, PORTER BROS. KEEP THEIR PROMISE Urge Crew ��rf Smw Sbawllen Now ia Important Part ol Ibe Iron Squid���Ui! Shot Hat Been Fired. If this happens to be a clear day, sometime before night the average Phoenician cati look down the valley and see the Great NoriHern locomotives pushing the new rails up the grade to Phoenix���their mecca lor this winter, at least. Which means, that Porter Bros., who have the con- Tact for track laying and bridge building, on the line, will keep their promise to have the rails laid into this camp by Christmas. ! After crossing Headman's biidge, ten days ago, the chief thing that has impeded piogress was lhe fall of a foot or moie snow. This necessitated the putting on of a gang of shovellers ahead of the iron squad, which, of course, was' done, Last Sunday ihe track had not quite reached the Providence creek bridge, where a large crew of expert bridge men were at work putting that stiucture together as fast as possible. Frjm that point, there was nothing except snow and cold weathe to delay getting into Phoenix. When the tracklayers have crossed the bridge over Dominion avenue, in the lower end of the city, on which active work is now proceeding, they will probably lay the rails up the switchback to the No. 3 tunnel ore bins; of the Granby -mines ��� from which point the Great Northern will first begin to haul ore. Later the rails will be laid to the No, 4 tunnel, in the deep cavern back of the Pioneer office. Last Tuesday Burns & Jordan fired the last shot in the grade back of the Pioneer office, and finished up their work. The employees of this paper, much to their relief, ho longer have to dodge dynamite, flying chalcopyrite, and other things. Burns & Jordan have made a good record here, and as one of the partners stated, have done about ten months work in the time usually allotted to less than six. They will store their outfit here for the winter. ADVISES TO BUY GRANBY STOCK. That i> the Report From J. J. Hill. Last Tuesday's Spokesman-Review prims the following, which is here le- proJuced for what it may be woith: "James J. Hill is advising his personal friends to purchase the stock ol the Granby Consolidated ^fining, Smelting & Power company, says the Boston News Bureau. He tells ihem that he has $260,000 of his own mone) invested in the stock of lhe company and he believes' that'around '$5 tier share it is a very cheap mining stock. There have: been^x'336,000 shares of Granby stock .'outstanding, but the directors have recently issued 16,400 shares of new stock, makini; the total outstanding stock around 1,350,000 shares. This new stoat was taken by the directors at $5.25 per share, the market price at,the time of issue, and lhe proceeds, $86,100, will be used iff increasing the rapacity of the mines and smelter."

The chief of police was instiucted to notify occupants to clean the side walks of snow and lo notify the Granby company to replace the railing on Knob Hill avenue. By-law No. 51, providing, a penalty for infraction of the' early closing by-law, was lead and passed the last lime. A motion prevailed to notify E. H: Mortimer, agent for Morrison & Anderson, to at once commence nlacing the Knob Hill hotel in a sanitary condition, and continue . the work till completed. Notification was ordered sent to the railway engineer in charge here to at once replace the sidewalk from the end of the site of the School street bridge, on Dominion avenue, to First street. Following are the accounts ordered paid: Phoenix' Electric Lighting Co., 86.35; Morrin, Thompson & Co., 29.20; Burns & Jordan, $59.91; Narcisse Lemieux, $9.

McMillan, manager of the Snowshoe and LeRoi companies, spending the holidays with his family in Warwickshire, England. It will probably be the first of February before ore shipments are started froth the Granby. mines over the V.,V. .& E. extension of the Great Northern. The Greenwood smelter was put out of business twice this week by the de railing of the slag hauling locomotive, which took a trip down the bank each time. Ten blast furnaces in.three Boundary smelters are now in operation- six at the Granby, two at the B. C. Copper and two at the Montreal & Boston. The Last Chance is sending out another car of ore to the Trail smelter this week, and it is expected that the mine, will ship the same amount weekly. An underground telephone system was installed in the Granby mines this week. 'I'he Brooklyn and Rawhide mines were also connected with the local system. J. Graham is said to have found a good body of ore giving from 10 to 30 per cent copper in his Sudbury claim, near the Montreal & Boston's. Sunset, in Deadwood camp. A big lot of electrical machinery arrived this week for the tramway equipment for the No. 3 tunnel of the Granby mines. In the shipment is the electrical locomotive, etc. The owners of the Skylark are better pleased than ever as development progresses. As practical mining men they seem to realize that they have one of the best propositions in the high grade belt. The new ore body in the Mother Lode mine, recently opened up, referred to in the last issue of the I'ion eer, has been proved so far to be 200 feet long and 130 feet wide, with most satisfactory values. Officers of the l'hoenix Gold and CopperMiningCo.,that will operate the Nellie Cotton and Mystic claims, adjoining the Granby mines, in this camp, are: President Hal T. Cole, Spokane; vice-president, J. E. Everhart, Chicago; Secretary, Chas. Murray, Chicago; treasurer Mark Sands, Chicago. It is undet stood that operations will be started as soon as the snow is gone. John G. Clark, who for more than a year and a half has been the efficient agent of the C.P.R. here, has received notice of his appointment as agent at Rossland, succeeding Oscar W. Dey, who was also previously in Phoenix. Mr. Clark will not leave here till his successor has been appointed. Mr. Dey gave up his Rossland position a few months ago and has since been at the coast. 'I'he forty-sixth annual meeting of the shareholders ofthe Eastern Townships Bank was held in the boaid room of the bank at Sheibiooke, Quebec, 'at two o'clock on Wednesday evening, December 7th, 1904. directors' rkport, nov. 15, 1904. The directots beg to submit the forty-sixth Annual Repoit, with usual Balance sheet and statement 'showing results of operations, for year ending fifteenth of November past. The net profit, aftei making pio- visious for cost ol management, interests to depositors, and cut rent losses, ���including $7,5)70.20 by burglary at West Shelford Branch in October last,���amounts to $306,968.57, or exceeding 12 per cent., adding the pte- mium from payment of new shates, and balance'of piofit brought forward in November last, gives a balance available of $357,611.14. From this amount the Directors, in a le-valuation of the assets have considered it expedient to take $40,060 in leduction thereof; and they .have applied $40,000 in reduction of bank premises, safes and furniture account. Payment of two semi-annual dividends in July last and Januaiy next, at the rate of eight per cent, per annum, were provided for and $50,000 added 10 the Reserve Fund, leaving a balance ol $30,217.74 to cany forward. Business throughout the yeai at nil the offices lias been satisfactory, and the outlook for the future is very good. . During the year Branches have been established at Cookshirc, Lake M'gan- tic, Lawrenceville, Munsonville, Rox- ton Falls and Thetford Mine*-, also Sub-Agencies at Stanstead, Clarence- ville,��� Valco'urt and Beloeil, being point? in the Townships considered necessary by the management to retain the business we have been so many years, in building up. This makes thirty eight offices altogether now operated bv the Bank. Deposits have increased during the year by $1,242,977, now standing at $9,821,026, and Loans stand at nearl*, eleven million doll.irs. All the offi-es "have been duly inspected during the year, as usual. The burglary at West Shefibrd,whiL- not serious in amount, is regretable, as it is the first since the bank commenced business in 1859,. and breaks the record. In conclusion, tlie Directors desire to record their appreciation of the zealous and faithful manner in which all the officers of the Bank have performed their duties, and in recognition ihe directors have granted them a bonus. Respectfully submitted, Wm. Farwei.i., President. The president addressed ihe meeting and covered very fully every point iu the .repoit, closing by moving its adoption, seconded by Vice-President Wood. Mr. A. C. Flumerfelt, Western Di- tector, gave some statistics of the development of the western country and referred lo its great possibilities. The ballot resulted in the election ofthe following directors: William Fai- well, Israel Wood, N. W. Thomas, Gardner Stevens, C. 11. Kathan, II. It. Brown, K. C, James S. Mitchell, S. H. C. Miner, A. C. l'Tuuierfelt and Frank Grundy. At a meeting ofthe new Biutd Mr. William Farwell was reelected president, and Majoi Wood vice-president.

The returns iu the several ridings show a libeinl majoiity in all except Lillooet and Grand Foiks. Burrell Mills Ross Yesterday, after many delays, lhe second furnace of the Montreal & Boston's Boundary Falls smelter was blown in, and the two are expected to be kept in blast uninterruptedly from now on. The delay iu starting the second furnace was occasioned by the delays in getting the tramway of the Rawhide mine in complete working order, whence the supply of ore for the second furnace originates. This was accomplished early this week, the work of filling the new ore bins started, and on Tuesday the C. 1'. R., having shoveled the snow off the new spur, spotted the first dump cars at the Rawhide on the new spur. Since then this mine has been shipping everyday, last Wednesday being the first time that ore was ever sent out from this mine to any smelter. Manager Pemberton, of the Mont- teal & Boston, who was in the city yesterday, anticipates that the Rawhide will afford a s-teady supply of ore not only for one furnac?, but a little later for the third furnace at the smelter, which is now being set up.

C. mine in Summit camp will prove to be correct, and that this property, which was supposed to' have been worked out, but which is equipped with a fine machinery plant, will once more coroe to the front as a shipper and producer. F. S. Parrish and R. H. Andeison| who had charge of the B. C. when it closed down, are thoroughly familiar with the mine, and should be able to make it pay if anyone can. ���H The B. C. mine all told, shipped about 100,000 tons of some of the best ore ever taken out ol Boundary mines. The mine cost the Montreal capitalists who operated it $310,000, and if report is correct, they sold ore woith $750,000 by the time it was closed. The company owns a dozen or more crown-granted claims, allowing a laige territory to prospect over���and should it still prove to have payable ore, it will be a good thing for the Boundary. ��M The Holiday-Midwinter number of the Pioneer, now in piocess of production, will not appear till about the middle of January���the chief reason being that the C.P.R. is so delibeute in delivering the ton of paper stock that has been en route from Toronto for over a month. Which leminds us of the case of printing ink, shipped over a year ago from Toronto to the Pioneer, which has not yet been de- liveicd by the C.P.R. to this great family journal. s�� So our friends can see that there aie troubles even in the newspaper business, and that we get our share. However, we can assure all our subscribers that when the Holiday-Midwinter issue does appear it will far surpass the special number of last winter. We are bending eveiy effort to that end, and we propose to succeed. It will, of course, tell all about the chief mines and smelters of the Boundaiy, with a profusion of fine half-tone illustrations ���and in the telling the city of Phoenix and its energetic citizens will not be forgotten. "������ We make the above explanations for the leason that we have had a number of enquiries legaiding the big number from people who are evidently inter- ' ested in it. The pations of the Pioneei may lest nss-ured that \\c shall make every effoit to turn out a creditable number at the earliest possible date��� and further, that the slight delay will result also in making it belter and larger than ever. One who evidenily has had the experience of years and therefore is in a position to know, asserts that "Every poker player knows absolutely, unequivocally and beyond the power of evidence to convince him to tliecon- trary, that he is just a little bit the best player that ever heid , openers." The above remark is commended to the thoughtful consideration of those interested���especially, the lengthening list of young fellows who imagine that they know something about the great American ga.me. As Josh Billings, or Mark Twain, or someone else once pertinently remarked, "There area lot of people who know things that are not so." Tbe announcement that J. F. Royer would place an automobile on the stage line between Phoenix and Greenwood, about the first of April, to make connections with the Great Notthern trains here, has created no small amount of interest. The machine, il is said, will have 60 hoise power, and be operated by gasoline, and will probably cost about $3,000. ���M But what interests teamsters or those who have occasion to drive between the two places is what will be the effect on horses generally. It need hardly be said that horses in this country ha've not been educated to understand and appreciate tho chug, chug, chug, of an auto, and what they will do when they hear it for the first time, is the question.*. Mr. Royer is credited with the intention of leading a hoise behind the auto for awhile, and when he meets a team, run his horse around Jiis machine to show lhe approaching horses that everything is all right. The question of operating autos ,on the public highways has doubtless been threshed out in the east long since, and the chances are that it can be done within legal limits. But probably many of those driving will keep close tab on the auto, to.be behind it on the trips and so be on the safe side. O- B. C MINING This reminds us of the time, many years ago,, when camels were imported to do freighting on the old Cariboo wagon road. So many horses were frightened, with resulting damages and lawsuits, that the animals were finally turned loose, and their use as beasts of burden discontinued. Last month the Trail smelter turned out 947,168 lbs. of lead. 'I'he new smelter at Marysvillejs to be in operations next month.. In the Crow's Nest areas, the coal seams vary from 4 to 60 feet in thickness. ������'"���-. Batchelor .&' Co., Spokane, have contracted with the Ivanhoe for 500 tons of zinc, for shipment to Europe. James Cronin has been appointed a director in the Centre Star and War Eagle companies at Rossland, in succession to C. H. Gooderham, whose death recently occurred. There aie about 8,000 tons of zinc ore mined and milled lying around Sandon awaiting purchasers .and another 5,000 tons are lying at the Kaslo sampler. All this ore is of good grade. The St.-Eugene Mining Co., have a big cotitract on hand, they have to get out of the mine 19,000 tons of ore and concentrates between now and the first of July next. This means a daily outpout of 2,700 tons. The buildings for the zinc plant being constructed at Rosebery are almost complete and teady for installation of the machinery. This has been shipped from the old country to Vancouver, via Cape Horn and will be some months on the way. A group of claims on La France creek near Crawford bay, belonging to Thos. Wall, A. Miller of Greenwood and R. Armstrong of Chicago, is proving very rich. It carries 150 to 160 ounces in silver, $10 in gold and three per cent, copper.

LINGERING" COLD. thstood Other Treatment But Quickly Cured by Cfmmberlain's Cough Remedy. "Last winter I caught a severe cold which lingered for weeks," says J. Urquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. "My cough was very dry and harsh. The local dealer recommended Chamber- Iain's Cough Remedy and guaranteed it, so I gave it a trial. One 25 cent bottle of it cured me. I believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be the best 1 have ever used." This is one of the most staple medicines in use. Thousands have testified to its excellence. It not only cures a cold quickly and effectually but counteracts any tendency towards pneumonia. It is equally valuable lor children and may be given to them with with implicit confidence.

Their cold continues and their cough; grows worst; Then'they apply to al doctor, only to discover that they aro in tho first stages of consumption. "| ion. Miss I-Ulia, of Illinois, started oat exactly in this way. Fortunately, sho look a course of Peruna before it wm too late. She had caught several colds, then a cough developed. Sbe took all Korta of cough medicines, until, as zba pu to i t, "I sickened at the sight of tbem." In four weeks Peruna had cured ber of ber catarrh and her By a tern waa entirely rid of it. This is what Peruna is doing all th* while. Notaday,and probably not an hour, passes but some one has a similar experience with Peruna. Tho first step toward consumption ia catching cold. Tho noxt step is �� failure to cure it promptly. The third step la the dovelopmcntof catarrh, which gradually becomes chronic. The fourth step, tho catarrh begins to spread from tne head tothe throat. The fifth step, tho catarrh spreads to the bronchial tubes and lungs. It then becomes consumption in its first stage. At any tlmo during the progress of the catarrh, from the first onset of the cold io its final settlement In the lungs, Peruna can be relied upon to stop tho disease. It cures entirely. Even after consumption has become thoroughly developed, many cases have found in Peruna a permanent euro. After tbey havo been given up by physicians to die of consumption Peruna has cured them. Wo have hundreds of testimonials that declare these facts in the moat enthusiastic language. XT. B. Senator John M. Thurston, from Nebraska, writes the following lotter from V, ashington, CC, under date off April 6,1901: , . ' " I have used Peruna at various titnea .during tho past year or two with most satisfactory results. "It entirely relieved mo from an irritating cough, the result of excessive effort in tho Presidential campaign, and I am a Arm believer ia Its cfHcicy in any such troublo."���Juo. J.f. Thurston.

With winding up of railway construction by tlie Great Northern in the Boundary at Phoenix, there is no small amount of speculation as to what will happen along this line next spring. The fact that the hors.s of the entire ou'fit are being wintered on Anarchist mountain, just beyond the Boundary, and on the direct route of the proposed extension of the Hill road into tne Similkameen, seems to be of no little significance. At the same titne, the CM'.R. is not idle, and many think that Canada's greatest corporation will be doing all kinds of railway construction business when the snow is. gone again for another season. It is hardly likely, in any event, that the C.P.R. will allow Mr. Hill to go into'the Similkameen without making an attempt to get in theie itself, or by making some sort of an agreement with the Hill line as re- gaids the tenitoiy'to be tapped. Merchants at the Coast, who would benefit most from the construction of a direct connecting link with the Boundary, have been all but asleep over the matter)''but gradually they are awakening, as the following from Vancouver World shows : �� Mining Men on the Hustle. A party of Seattle mining men passed thiough the city yesterday en route home after a flying trip through the Similkameen country. They had engaged special relays of horses to get in and out of the country quick, secure the claims they were after and get home again to business. At least two of the ��� party were "in the know" in railway matters, and one of them was induced to talk? He slated that the railway question was finally settled, but the public would not hear the details until the railway companies were ready to give it to them, and that would not be before the provincial House met. He affirmed that it had come to his knowledge that both the C.P.R. and Great Northern had definitely arranged to go into the Similkameen as soon as preliminaries could be fixed and weather permitted. The C P.R. was compelled to in because the Great Northern was going to, and commissioners fiom the two great railway companies had met and arranged the routes so that the lines would tap different sections of tbe country through which they passed, and so that they would seldom if ever parallel each other. This authority stated that the news of the decision of the two railways to enter the valleys was the first definite news icceived The Great Northern wouid of course build under the V. V. & E. charter granted by the Dominion government, the provincial V. V. & K. chatter having lapsed. This Dominion charter allowed the Great Northern lailway to go in and out of the boundaiy line in several places, but granted no expropriation poweis to branch lines, only to the main line. For this reason the Great Northern ha*, been cbliged thus far to buy their land from settlers in the usual way, along the route of any branch lines they have built in the province. When the provincial legislature meets the Great Nottliern will ask for power to expropriate lands under the railway act, which will mean a charter lrom the province, but one carrying no land or money bonus. These privileges secured, the actual woik of railway-construction into the Similkameen will be commenced. The Gre.-'t Northern will go into the Similkameen and the C.P.R. into the Nicola. This informant became eloquent over the possibilities in these valleys. He said even now mining men were giving in by the scores, paying special tates foi horses lo take up properties that they may be in time for the lapid tise in values. Barrels ol Nickel Plate Bullion. He expressed himself as believing that half the mining men in Seattle and every mining man in Spokane would be in the valleys next summer. Things were quiet in Spokane and Seattle in the mining way. A boom was due, and the next boom would be in the Similkameen and Nicola valleys. He cited as one instance of the richness of the country, that the Nickel Plate mine was richer than anything ever struck In Cripple Cteck or British Columbia in the Iree-milliiig line. That 150 tons a day are being treated and $1,500 saved on the plates every day, to say nothing of the concentrates, and that Rogers, the manager, was coming through to Seattle right along as quickly as he could make the round trips, bunging out barrels of bullion. Rogers is increasing his mill to one* hundred stamps, and is taking a twenty-five ton boiler, the biggest ever hauled over the roads in British Columbia, and he expected the time would come when this mine would yield $10,000,a day.
