[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.

Manager Hodges Sends Wage Scale to the Unions. I 1 It may be said that, as we go to press, there is a more confident feeling that the management of the Granby Co. and the unions will eventually get together, and that both mines arid smelter will be in operation in a short time.. While there is nothing definite as yet, this seems to be the concensus of opinion. Last Saturday the mine Whistle blew as usual,, and has been blowing every day since, but, as expected, no men applied for work. At the smelter the statement was sent out that about 40 men applied for employment, of whom about 20 were set to work cleaning up around the works. -\ Most of the members of the unions have taken the stand that there was nothing before them from the company in the shape of a wage scale on which to act, and so no action on the posted scale was taken, other than that published last week. J. P. Graves, general manager, was quoted as saying that the company had considered it had d~ne its duty in giving the former employees a chance to go to work, and that if they did not do so, the company, would either close tight till spring or feel at liberty to bring in outsiders. Thus far the diplomatic committee of the Phoenix Board of Trade has been successful, in that the wage scale has been sent directly to both the Grand Forks and Phoenix unions, The Grand Forks union met Wednesday evening, and report has it that no action was. taken, but that,. at���the regular weekly meeting of the Phoenix union, to be held this evening, the matter wouid come up and steps taken that the question be definitely settled, as far as the unions are concerned, one way or the other. , l ���������'���..."��� :-',;������'������"' It now seems certain that a conclusion will be arrived at shortly, and that, if the unions decide not to permit the men to go back to work, the mines will remain idle for at least the next four or five months. Notes A force of eight men only is employed at the Snowshoe, including watchmen, office clerks and superintendent. Nothing is being done at the Mother Lode mine of the B. C. Copper Co. except the installation of some machinery that has recently, been received, .'���,.��� X ������ Tuesday was the monthly payday at the Granby mines, when the shift- bosses, heads of departments, watchmen, etc., received 'their monthly checks���the smallest payday seen in Phoenix in the last ten years. The work of finishing up the steel flue dust chamber at the Granby smelter, as well as of the extensive additions to the coke and ore bins, is going steadily along under contract, and should be completed in a few weeks more. ->1 Vv' ������."'.'. i'.This week the Riverside mine, under bond to Sater and Johns, of Greenwood, and located a few miles from Rock creek, made a twenty-ton shipment to the Trail smelter. This makes over 100 tons shipped from this property, the ore being a high grade galena. The Greenwood papers are authority for " the statement that smelter and mine employees, formerly located there, who are employed in tie making camps, are making something like $4 per day, the heavy demand from the railways for ties coming in at a good time to give a good many men employment. FORXOMMITTEE OFWPLOMACY Board of Trade Takes Action View of Bringing Employers and Employees Together It is understood to be the intention of the Yale Mining Co , operating the Nickel Plate mine, at Hedley, to return to the old scale of wages in force some months ago, being about 50 cents per day under the present wage scale. The company has given the union 30 days' notice of the reduction, under the terms of the Lemieux Act, passed at the last session at Ottawa.' ' Supplies were taken to the Independence mine, Bear creek section, in the Similkameen, to last all winter', and the force of five men under Foreman Johnson do not expect;to get out much till spring. The property was bonded by the Granby Co. a year ago for $ 100,- 000, development having been)contin- uous ever since "witri'^'ehcouraging results. The ore is a low grade copper, rather more silicious than Phoenix ores.

OF CARNEY COPPER CO. Favorable Report Received���Old Officers Reelected. T. L. Martin returned Monday from Mullan, Idaho, where he attended the annual meeting of the Carney Copper Co., held December 3d. The reports ol the president, secretary and auditor were received, and showed a favotable state of affairs with the Carney, the property being located not far from Mullan. The shareholders elected the old board of directors, as follows: J. L. Martin, president; Wilbur D. Green- ough, vice-president and manager; Joseph Carson, superintendent; C. D. Miller, secretary-treasurer and Hans J. Rice. The directors afterwards chose officers as above. The report showed that during the year the No. 2 tunnel had been driven for a distance of 71 o feet, and it is expected that from 200 to 250 feet more of work will be done before the ore shoot is reached, which should be sometime in February or March. A glory hole 40 x 50 feet, was opened up, and a car of ore taken out and sacked ready for shipment when the market is more favorable. Altogether the report is a satisfactory one, showing that encouraging progress has been made in the fiscal year. Boundary Side Lights ^^^���i&Mi Masons Cboose Officers. At the regular monthly communication of King Edward Lodge No. 36, A. F. & A. M.,' held Thursday evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: W. M., Thomas Roderick. S.

Installation is expected to take place in conjunction with Greenwood Lodge No. 28, at Greenwood, on December 27 th. Visit of Masonic Official. Last week Friday Noble Binns, of Trail, deputy district lor the seventh Masonic district,, made his official visit to King Edward Lodge No. 36, A. F. & A. M. There was a large attendance of craftsmen, about 15 coming up the hill from Greenwood, a number of other lodges also being represented. Following the degree work, a banquet was held, the entire function being enjoyed by those present. In a recent interview, G. G. S. Lind- sey, president of the Crow's Nest Coal Co., said he intended closing the coke oven at Michel, which employs 500 men, due to the closing of Boundary smelters. The people of Eholt are uniting on a Christmas tree for all the children of the town. Miss Sarah Hewton, of Grand Forks, has secured an engagement as school teacher in Rossland. Greenwood Knights of Pythias will hold their eighth annual ball on the evening of January 1, 1908. Three Chinks were duly admitted and initiated into the Green ��ood branch of the I. W. W. last summer, but report has it that they have now dropped out. An attempt was made last week to introduce a new liquor license by-law by the city council of Grand Forks, making the license $390 every three months, but was defeated. Ah Wah, a cook in tbe C. P. R. work train at Greenwood, recently committed suicide by banging. He was aged 51, and left a wife and three children in China. Ralph Smailes has been spending a few days again in Greenwood, but once again he has nothing to say regarding Midway & Vernon railway affairs, a matter in which he is vitally interested. "The Country Restaurant." During the present close-down of the mines, some of the men have been "baching" in shacks on the outskirts of ihe town, enjoying themselves as best they may while waiting for something to happen. One of these establishments, located in the woods, away from the usual haunts of men, is styled "The Country Restaurant," and at times does a "land office" business. Jack Campbell is the chef, Norman McLeod biscuit juggler, and Neil Mc- Beth dish washer. One day this week this establisament had the following registered callers at one meal for beefsteak and flapjacks: Simon McDougal, Dan MacBeth, Allan McMillan, Geo. Walker, Chas. Helsier, Dan Matheson, Alex, and Angus McPherson, and Wm. Donley. The Pioneer is not informed whether fish was on the bill of fare. John A. McMaster, proprietor of the Hotel Balmoral, has returned from a two weeks' visit to Vancouver, and states that one would hardly believe that there are so many unemployed in that city unless he saw it for himself. They are still coming in from north, east and south, as the work in sawmills, logging carrpiand mines up and down the coast. i-> <>-\ iu-ng stopped on account of the financial stringency. Last Tuesday afternoon, after a conference between several prominent citizens, it was decided to call a meeting of the Phoenix Board of Trade, to consider the present situation as regards the deadlock between the management of the Granby Co. and Phoenix Miners' Union, and see if it was not [iossible, in some way to bring the parlies together. Accordingly the meeting was held that afternoon in the city hall, there being about twenty present, representing the heaviest business interests in Phoenix. Charles D. Hunter, president of tbe board, presided, and A. S. Hood, the secretary, was also on hand. Mr. Hunter explained the object of the meeting, specifically stating that it was not the idea to enter in any way into the merits of the controversy, but simply to use the good offices of the board,. if possible, to bring the two sides together, with the possibility that negotaitions of a satisfactory nature might result. Mr. Hunter called a number present to express their views on the subject, whicn was done, the business men agreeing, with one consent, that they did not care to discuss the wage scale or any other thing connected with the situation, except in so far as they might be able to be instrumental in bringing about a meeting of the management and union officials. Upon motion from the floor, a di p- iomatic committee of three was appointed, consisting of the mayor, D. J. Matheson, Charles D. Hunter and John A. Morrin, to interview the Gran by management, and then, if it was deemed that progress had been made and the management was willing to meet and recognize the union, to see the officials of the union. ��� Tuesday evening the committee met O. B. Smith,'Jr., mine superintendent of the Granby Co., and the next day went down to Grand Forks, by request, to see A. B. W. Hodges, the local manager of the company. Several conferences were held with Mr. Hodges who expressed himself as having been willing at all times to meet the union. He stated that he would send a letter to the unions 111 Grand Forks and Phoenix, embodying the new wage scales which had been posted at both smelter and mines, which could be acted on by those bodies officially, it being understood that the unions had received no communications from the company, and thus had nothing officially to act upon. The diplomatic committee returned Thursday from Grand Forks, and informed the officials of the miners' union of what had been done, and that Mr. Hodges would send letters to both unions, and was willing to meet committees. Thus the work of the Board of Trade committee was ended, and it is hoped and believed that it may result beneficially to all interested. Tnose present at the meeting of ihe Board of Trade were as follows: E. P. Shea, Wm. Delahay, M. M. Stephens, A. S. Hood, D. J. Matheson, C. H. Fbod. J. L. Martin, V. M. Sherbino, R.Horrell, J. A. Morrin, G. E. McAuliffe, R. V. Chisholm, J. A. McMaster, T. Miner, A. B Hood, J. C. LaBelle, C. D. Hunter, A. D. McKenzie, W. A. Thrasher and the Pioneer man.

Supt. D. C. Coleman, of Nelson, writes the Pioneer that the criticism of this paper regarding the condition of the C. P. R. coach on the Fvhoenix branch are quite justified, he finds, after a personal inspection. Mr. Coleman further states that he will see that the coach is kept in better shape, and further, that, as soon as business picks up, it is his intention to place in service a much better type of coach���all of which will be appreciated on the part of travellers to and from Phoenix. This good example should now be followed by the Great Northern, for it is scarcely one per cent better than the C.

James Dunsmuir has been placed in a bad light as regards his evading the laws for importing Japs. If this is prpved to be the truth, Mr. Dunsmuir should be treated the same as any citizen of the province, and his high office should be no protection to him. Discounting the rabid remarks of the opposition press,' it appears as though there was some fire where so much smoke appeared.- Tories Had Two Per One. Both political parties in British Columbia have recently held provincial conventions, and both in the city; of Vancouver. The conventions were held about six weeks apart, the Liberals having chosen the time.of the provincial exposition at New Westminster, which always attracts a great many people from the interior to the coast, and .therefore makes the - date of ihe fair a convenient time for the holding > >f conventions. But in spite of that circumstance the attendance at the Conservative gathering was more than twice as great as the Liberals were able lo muster. "THE BONNIE BRIER BUSH."

He has been commisioncd by his government to make a tour of the world in order to report on the mining industries of various countries. He has already visited Germany, Norway, Sweden and England. From Canada he will proceed to the United States before -sailing for New Zealand and Australia in order to study the methods of gold dredging in vogue over there. "I have seen a great deal in the Dominion to delight and interest me," said Mr. Katona, "Canada is a wonderful mining country, but only the surface has been scratched. The metallurgical methods used here are far in advance of those in Hungary. I was especially interested in the' treatment of iron ores by electricity at the Canadian Soo. Your copper smelters are most up-to-date I ever inspected." Annie McKeown, 1916; Laurel Pickard, 1884; Emlyn Pierce, 1866; Frank Stevenson, 1688. Five hundred marks for good conduct are credited to each pupil at the beginning of each month, and any pupil who tries can have the debit side of his or her account blank at the end of the month; that is, have nothing charged against him or her, leaving the full 500 marks to be counted as part of the total for the month. It should never be forgotten that pupils cannot obtain marks when absent. The following list shows the numbr of days absence of the respective pupils during November, some of the cases of absence being on account of sickness: Gladys Pickard, 11; Laurel Pickard, 11; George Heidman, cj1/i; Frank Stevenson,7^; Morfydd Bateman, 6; Annie McKeown, 6; Helen Quin- livan,5>^; George Biner, 5; Emlyn Pierce, 4; Hattie Graham, 3; Katie Bell, 3; Harold Townsend, 2]^; Alma Hendrickson, 2; Sigre Elmgreen, i}4; Alvin Hendrickson, ij Willie Johns, 1; Rilla Mattinson, 1; Edna Swanson, 1; John McDonald, 1,��� Harry Carson, yi; Eddie Murray, x/t. Fifteen pupils were never absent during the month. Inspector Gillis says the school is growing, the attendance being considerably larger now than at the time of his last visit. . , There are now about ninety pupils in the two rooms. Although a large number are taking the work required for passing the high school entrance examination, it should not be inferred from this that many of these will be ready by the time the next examination takes place, as the examinaiion is a very difficult one, being, in fact, more difficult in British Columbia than in most ofthe provinces. Inspector Gillis, when here a few days ago, examined the pupils taking the entrance work, and, in addressing them afterwards, told them he did not think that more than two or three of them would be far enough advanced by the time of the next examination to have a good chance of pass- it.
