[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.

Investor of Boston recently contained the following article on Granby: Among the copper '���; stocks which seem to me to be selling rather cheap at the present time is that of Granb) Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co., which is quoted around 100. I believe the stock is worth more and I look lo see it selling considerably higher within the next year. As a matter of fact, the annual report of this company as of June 30, 1909, shows conclusively that" the company is again attaining a position which will enable the declaration of a dividend to be made before long. Last year Granby produced 21,901,- 528 pounds of copper at about 10 cents a pounds This copper .was sold at an average of 13.22 cents per pound, and the gross income was $3,983,536 I'he net profits were $681, 134, leaving, after dividend charges, a surplus of $41 r, 134, as compared with a deficit of $68,478 last year. In other words, this means that $5 was earned on each ofthe 135,000 shares of stock, and that rather than showing a deficit the company piled up a very good surplus for the year. Of the $5 earned $2 per share was paid in dividends last December and $2 per share went into charges for new construction. Some have unfairly criticized the management for not charging the construction up to the copper costs. The majority of people, however, believe that since the company was to realize the profits from this construction during the following year,it was onlyright to charge its cost from the earnings. During the year the company, increased its underground development, so "that 40% more ore might be handled' than heretofore This underground development work was properly charged to copper making cost's. " That- "the"���"���'company is now making .use .of.these Jncreases tsj>hown I by the fact that during the month o October it increased its production by nearly 50 per cent. The Granby Con-olidated Mining, Smelting and Power Company is. not an old company. Incorporated in. 1901 it began paying dividends in 1906, and has "paid a total ol $25 per share; $12 in.1 1906, $9 in 1907, and $4 in 1908. In other words, since the'date of its incorporation this company has paid better than $3 per share each year of its existence. The company now has 7 furnaces in operation and its production will be brought up to over 30,000,000 pounds of copper per year. With the costs decreasing (they are now about 9^ cents per pound), there js no reason why this company should not uv*ke money even on a 13 cent metal market. Figuring the costs at 9^ cents, even on a 13 cent metal market, the company would then show earnings of over $7 per share. This, however, is a conservative estimate, for many believe that within a year the costs will be down to 9 cents, and that the produc tion will be greater than 30,000,000 pounds of copper, perhaps 35,000,000, an output which would show a fine profit to the stockholders. The company has a capital of 150,- 000 shares, par \alue $100 per share, and 135,000 shares are outstanding, it is expected that the remaining 15,- 000 shares of treasury stock will be DIVIDEND OF 30c. DECLARED By Hedley Gold Mining Company Boundary Mining Notes CONSOLIDATED CO. ACUIRES NO. 7 MINE Initial Dividend Payable on January 4th Next At a meeting of the directors of the Hedley Gold Mining company in Boston last week an initial dividend of 30 cents per share was declared, payable on January 4th, 1910, to stock, of record December 20th, 1909. For this purpose the books of the company will close on December 20th and re open January 5th. As there are 120,- 000 shares outstanding, this dividend amounts to $36,006, or a disbursement of six per cent. The Hedley Gold Mining company own the famous Nickle Plate mine and 40-stamp mill at Hedley, having acquired the property. from an explor ation syndicate' .last August. The syndicate received '98,000 shares of the 120,000-share capitalization, while the remainder was paid to the vendo'rs of the property. The 40-stamp mill has been running smoothly, and within a few days the company hopes to determine from experiments now being made what changes will be necessitated in the mill to reduce tailing losses. The company expects, by mill improvements, to increase profits $1 per ton. The operation of the mill previous to the new company taking control, resulted in o loss of $2.50 per ton, in the tailings. Tbe Licenie Bylaw At a meeting of the city council on Wednesday evening the hotel license bylaw received its second reading. It sets the annual licence fee at $650. I'he bylaw willreceivc-its final reading next Wednesday. The Belcher mine at Republic, which has been, shipping to Granby smelter in the past, has contracted to ship two cars of ore per week lo Trail. The profits ol the BiiMsh Columbia Copper company for the month of November amounted to $54,000, as compared with $38,000 in October. The cost ^ of copper production was lowered to 7.35 cents per pound, as against 8 8 cents the previous month. The permanent head office of the New Dominion Copper company is now located in Phoenix. At the Rawhide mine exploratory work with the diamond drill is being continued with three shifts operating. Power is supplied by a steam compressor at the Brooklyn mine. About 15 men are now in' the employ of the company locally. E. Jacobs, formerly editor of the Mining Record, was in camp last week. Mr. Jacobs was making a tour of the mines to secure information for his annual review of British Columbia mining which' will appear in the Nel son News on Jan. 2. Mr. Jacobs is probably the most authoritative man on mining in the province, and contributes to many of the foremost journals. Speaking of Phoenix mines Mr. Jacobs said they require no inflating write-up, the facts are eloquent enough. The Lone Pine Surprise group of mines in Republic camp have been acquired by the Republic Mines corporation, $225,000 being the consideration. The property just sold is said to contain the largest and richest ore shoot in the camp. The shoot is nearly 300 feet long at the surface and has only been opened to a depth of 100 feet. It is known as the Surprise shoot, and from a small area of ground at its south end in 90 days during the summer five miners who had a lease extracted $52,000 worth of ore. At the expiration of their lease a large bonus and royalty was offered for an extension, but the owners would not consideFTt. The~properties sVTip to Granby and Tacoma smelters. Purpose Erecting a Concentrator Next Summer I'he Consolidated Mining and Smelting company, owning (he Trail smelter" and operating the Snowshoe mine of Phoenix and several other properties, have acquired the No. 7 mine in Central camp, about six miles south of Phoenix. A bond was taken early in the summer and the property thoroughly sampled. The company has also secured an option on 18 acres of land close to the propeity on which they purpose erecting a mill, to which the ore will be trammed to the concentrator. A. B. Cartwright, formerly of the St. Eugene mine, Moyie, and Trail, ai- rived in Phoenix on Saturday and has been placed in charge of operations at No. 7, under Superintendent Biesel of the Snowshoe mine. About a dozen men are now employed at the No. 7. D. J. MATHESON IN THE FIELD Will Oppose J. G. McKeown for Mayor .i,.<c Municipal Campaign Already in Full Swing \ Close Call . A team of horses, attached to a sleigh carrying 2500 pounds of giant powder, which had been left alone on Old Ironsides avenue on Thursday started for their stable Dy way of First street. They brought the dangerous cargo slowly down the big hill until the sleigh struck a telephone pole at the bottom, and fortunately to relate the only damage done was a slight break to the sleigh. It was nothing short of a miracle that an explosion did not occur with disastrous results. MINING MEN IN CONVENTION .ssued towards the latter part of the year in-order to take care of the money the company has invested in the Crows Nest Pass Coal Co. The company is controlled by strong N-sw York interests, James J. Hill being represented on the board of directors, as is the American Metal Co. and ihe Nichols Copper Co.

PHOENIX HOCKEY CLUB REORGANIZED Officers Elected and Plans Laid for Season At a largely attended meeting of local hockey enthusiasts this week plans were completed to have a championship hockey septette that will seek all provincial honors for Phoenix during the present season Officers were elected as follows : - ; Honorary President, O. B. Smith, Jr. President, Mayor G. W. Rumberger. Vice president, Judge Williams. Secretary-treasurer, A. A. White. Executive committee���James Walsh, Roy Clothier, James Corbet, Roy Clarke, and Claude McAstocker, manager. During the past summer and fall some noted puchchasers have come to make their residence in Phoenix and the management of the club expect they will be able to trot out the fastest aggregation that ever figured on ice in the Boundary. A subscription list has been generously signed by businessmen and enthusiasts and the club will get away to a good start financially. The management are taking steps to guard against any wrangling among members of the team which somewhat predominated last season and which was partly attributable lor the loss of the Boundary championship last winter. The line-up is not yet decided on but will probably be made known next week. There is also evidences fo an active interest in ,ockey throughout the Boundary. Grand Forks team, last season?s champions, have been reorganized and will endeavor to retain the title to the trophy which they hold; Greenwood is to have ice r.��xt week and will probably have a team to rep resent it; at Mother Lode a new rink is being erected and it is said they have material for a good hockey team, while contractor J. B. Tiemey claims to haye a line up at Wellington camp that includes prominent graduates of eastern hockey leagues, and expects to get them into the local league. NOVEMBER WAS RECORD MONTH Interest in the approaching election for municipal honors is gaining interest daily and a contest for every seat in the council now appears probable. At the solicitation of a number of ratepayers D. J. Matheson has consented to again run for the chief executive office of Phoenix for which he will oppose Councillor J. G. McKeown. Mr. Matheson served as Mayor during 1907 and 1908, but was defeated in the election last January by G. W. Rumberger. Although it had been expected that Mr. Matheson would not again seek the office, he states he is in the race today. For the council it is expected that all the present aldermen, except possibly Mr. Marshall, will seek reelection. Mr. Marshall states he will not be a candidate. A number rof others are mentioned for councilmen, f > but none have definitely declared themselves as yet. Nominations fof mayor, aldermen, and school trustees take place on Jan. 6th, and election on Jan. 13th. VIGOROUS OCTOOBNARIAN Oreo Barron Smlib, Father of 0. B.

Hartz Tonnage for Year Passes the Million Mark The shipments of Granby mines for the month of November made a new record, totalling 112,763 tons, and there are good indications for this month exceeding the November ton Gieenwood is passing a new license bylaw, requiring all 30-roomed hotels to pay an annual fee of $350, while hotels without such accommodation will be taxed $425 Per annum. nage. The only month which approached this in tonnage was March, 1908, when about 110,000 tons were shipped. Granby's total shipments for the year have now passed the million mark and before the year closes will exceed the record output of 190S. The ore receipts at the smelter for the month of November amounted to 115,261 tons, 112,763 tons from Phoenix and 2498 tons from foreign properties, as follows : Snowstorm, Idaho 1521 tons Belcher, Republic 563 " Ben Hur .���" 322 " Lone Pine " 28 " j Arlington, Slocan .... 64 " I Jolly Dancing Parly One of the jolliest dancing parties that have taken place in Phoenix for many a day was that given at the Snowshoe mine Thursday evening. Unique invitations were issued, and programs provided, while the large Snowshoe dining room proved an ideal place to trip the light fantastic. Werner's orchestra supplied excellent music; and at mid-evening a dainty Inncheon was served, after which dancing continued till early morn, when the guests took their leave with many expressions of thanks to the hostess, Mis. McKelvey, and the hosts, D. Matheson, A. Butterworth and R. Clothier, or the delightful evening. year, with no apparent prospect of re opening. Attention is called to the fact that 11,000 tons of zinc thus far this year have been shipped from Kootenay points to the United States, and that the Payne tariff imposes a duty of 1 per cent the pound of zinc contents of ores carrying more than 25 per cent of zinc. The fact is emphasized that Canada imports annually 7000 tons of zinc products valued at above $750,- 000. The convention agreed that it is highly important that a government smelter should be established capable of treating ores sufficient to supply the Canadian markets. The dominion government department of mines is urged to take up the matter of the scientific treatment of zinc ores. company, manufacturers of steel tackle- blocks ; G. H. Smith, paymaster of the Valley Paper company, Holyoke, Ohio; O. B. Smith, Jr. of Phoenix,; Mrs. Packard, Springfield ; and Mrs. W. A. Jackson, Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Smith, Sr. has also twenty grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren living. The Homestead says : Mr. Smith's is truly a youthful old age, a living refutation of Dr. Osier's theory. His health remains surprisingly good, enabling him to enjoy' the family gatherings with all the gusto of middle age.

TO CURTAIl COPPER PRODUCTION large Interests In Canada and United Statea to Effect Reduotlon N.Y.���From now on a reduction in copper production of this country, Canada and Mexico can be looked for. This will be due to a determination on the part of the large copper mining companies lo limit production to consumption so far as it is within their power to do so.. The large copper interests will effect a curtailment ranging from 5% to'10% which will serve to reduce production as well as cut down the large surplus stocks in this country and abroad. While there has been no agreement among the large copper producers to curtail production, it has been decided by a number of the largest interestF, iudividually, not collectively, to conform production to consumption, as a result oJ which many of the large mines of the country, including the Amalgamated and Guggenheim properties will curtail production 10%. Such action should naturally have a stimulating effect uton the price of copper in the near future. Loe'it Option'Puzile Local option returns continue to come in slowly, there being ten places yet to heanfrom. In most of the'con1 stitueneies the total number of' b illots cabt for the candidates have as yet to be computed. The final result as to whether the referendum has the necessary fifty per cent, may not be known for some weeks. In fact it will not be ''definitely, settled until after the rerount upon spoiled ballots' to be held before County Judge Lampman in Victoria*.'
