[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.

We will be glad to see you* sunset is A GOOD MINE Surprise to the Dominion Copper Co. Rawhide Mine is Looking Splendidly. Two claims of the holdings of the Dominion Copper Co., among the others, are showing up remarkably well with extensive development. Both the Sunset, which was the nucleus of the original holding company, the Montreal and Boundary Creek Mining Co., and the Rawhide mine in Phoenix came, 'are Icoking particularly well. Much more satisfactory results, in fact, are being obtained from the Sunset than was ever anticipated by the ^present management, and the property will probably be equipped with a small air compressor. The following report, regarding the Sunset" group, Deadwood camp, was given out in lhe east: "The Sunset mine of the Dominion Copper Co. group,of properties; which until recently was considered valuable principally as a flux in smelting the company's other ores, due to the per centage of iron winch the Sunset ores carried, is turning out to be a very valuable property, its ores now carrying in addition to the iron an increasing percentage of copper. "When the present management took control of> the Dominion Copper Co., the Sunset assays showed the ores to carry .5% to .6% copper, with gold and silver values enough in addition to just about cover the cost of mining and smelting, making this ore very valuable as a flux to the other ores secured from the company's other mines, the Rawhide, Brooklyn, Idaho and Stemwinder, adjoining those of the Granby Co. mines at Phoenix. "The Sunset ores are now running 1.14% in copper, and the outlook is so promising that engineer M. M. Johnson has laid out a system of development for the whole property. "The Sunset is grouped with the Crown Silver, the C. O. D. and the Florence Fraction, all of which belong to the Dominion Copper Co. and adjoin the Mother Lode, which is the principal producer of the British Columbia Copper Co. Development work is now being commenced on all these properties. They are located on the Canadian Pacific Railway, within about six miles of the smelter. The showing now being made by the Sunset is a pleasant surprise to the management." Qreat Showing at Rawhide. The extensive outcrops of ore found on the Rawhide claim have been proved at depth by means cf several tunnels which have opened up im mense bodies of ore, the limits of which have not yet been found. Na. 3 tunnel, where drifting on the ore deposit is now going on, has proved the existence ol the ore bodies to a depth of some four hundred feet below the outcrops. In No. 4 tunnel eight hundred feet of development work has been done, all of which is in ore, and the size of the bodies on this level are not yet determined. Stopes have been started on this level which will yield hundreds of thousands of tons, and will in all probability break through to surface, when the ore will be mined by the "glory hole" method. In the No. 3 pit, which is the latest outcrop developed by the company, ���*. face of excellent chalcopyrite and magnetite ore is exposed for a length of one hundred and fifty feet and a depth of forty feet. A tunnel is being driven to cut this ore body at deptii, and it is confidently believed that this ore body will prove to be as large as others encountered on the property, and of a grade which is fat above the average of Phoenix ores. Altogether, the recent development at the Rawhide mine has proved that the Dominion Copper Co. has in that property a most valuable mine, and one which will hold its own with any claim in the camp in upholding the fame of Phoenix as a mining camp of mam moth ore bodies. W. R. WILLIAMS FOR CITY CLERK Termorary Appointment Made by City Council. Last Wednesday the last meeting of the city council in the year 1906 was held, those present being Mayor Rum- berger, and Aldermen Oxley, Brown, Kane, Marshall and McKenzie. Arrangements were made for the holding of the city elections, and the clerk ordered to post notices in several places and publish same in the local paper. W. R. Williams was appointed returning officer, and as D. J. Mathe- son's resignation as city clerk takes effect on December 31st, Mr. Williams was temporarily appointed to that position. The nominations will be held on January 13th and the polling, if any, will take place on Thursday, January 17th. Applications from W. D. Lawson and M. M. Stephens were read for the position of city auditor, and Mr. Lawson was chosen to do the work for 1906. The resignation of D. J. Matheson as city clerk was accepted- by the council with regret, and a vote ot thanks tendered Mr. Matheson for the very efficient manner in which he has filled that position for the past three or four years. A. B. Hood, was appointed as temporary city treasurer. After approval of the following accounts bv the finance committee, they were ordered paid : M. Ii. Kane $ 75 James McCague........... 3 D. L.

Held Boundary Mining Notes 00 00 00 00 00 25 RAILWAYS ARE NOW TO BLAME For Coke Shortage Boundary. in the Output of Three Smelters Being Curtailed. Unless the railways successfully make some effort to relieve the car shortage situation in the Boundary, some of the district smelters will find it necessary to materially restrict the tonnage now being reduced. In fact, the situation is becoming more and more acute daily, as it is more and more apparent that the railways lack the power to move cars. The particular shortage is in moving the coke fast enough to keep the smelters in blast. All of them are running from hand to mouth, as it were. One day this week the Granby smelter did not have sufficient coke on hand to last a couple of hours even, when a little relief was had. It is the same with the Dominion Copper Co.'s smelter at Boundary Falls, and the B.C. Copper Co.'s Greenwood smelter can operate but one fnrnace on this account. In fact, the management finds itself busy to get coke enough to run one furnace, let alone the other two, which are now all ready for blowing in. It is scratch, scratch, scratch all the time to secure coke enough to do any business at all. The Snowshoe mine yesterday had 24 cars of ore at the B. C. Copper Co. smelter, that could not be imioaded because the ore could not be used in the congested condition ofthe smelter as regards ore supplies. The same thine; applies, to a greater or less extent, with the other smelters. There seems to be coke enough now at the collieries, but the railway companies can either not get cars enough, or they cannot furnish the power to haul the cars. Either way it is working a decided hardship on the mining and smelting industry in the Boundary, and should be remedied in some manner at once. Official announcement has been sent out from Victoria that the legislative assembly has been dissolved by Lieutenant-Governor Dunsmuir, and that an election will be held on Saturday, February 2d next, the nominations to take place on Saturday, January 19th, just two weeks previously. At the same time comes the statement that Hon. R. F.Green, chief commissioner of lands and works in the cabinet, has handed in his resignation. Writs for the election have been sent out, and the battle of the ballots will soon be on in earnest. In some ridings nominations have already been made, in anticipation of early elections, and in others they will be made with as little delay as possible. While the Liberal organs of the province have been saying that they expected an election any time in the last year, the announcement of its being called undoubtedly finds them unprepared for the fray. However, they are getting ready as fast as possi ble, and are reported to have pursuad- ed William Wallace Bruce Mclnnes, governor of the Yukon, who has just been on a trip to Ottawa, to ' take off his coat and give them some much- needed help. Mr. Mclnnes is not new to British Columbia politics, and along with Joseph Martin, who always keeps things lively when he takes a hand, he will likely do a lot of electioneering in the next few weeks. Joe Martin is leaning towards -the labor vote, but that does not fool many. The Conservatives are well organized in almost every part of the moy- ince, and'tncyioolc i<jf victory, arid an endorsement of the administration of Hon. Richard McBride. FOR CANDIDATE IN THIS RIDING First Hockey Game. In the initial game of the season, Phoenix went down to defeat at the hands of the Greenwood Hockey team, the score beiug 3 to 2, wh-'ch is a fair indication of the play. Considering the fact that the Phoenix boys have bad no practice this winter, they did re markably well. Lafferty at point and Robertson at cover played a star game. Wade in goal, stopped some hot ones, while the forwards, Mc Queen, Carmichael, McKelvey, Law- son and Cole played a speedy game. Greenwood" "Weary Willie" was the star, and time and again he made some brilliant runs, only to lose die puck to I^afferty. Greenwood will play a return game here next week. SherMno-Labelle Wedding. At 6:30 Wednesday morning a pretty wedding was celebrated, when Miss Lena Labelle and Victor M. Sherbino were united, the ceremony being per formed according to the rites of the Catholic church by Rev-. Father J. A. Bedard. Miss Labelle had Miss Edith Jewell, of Grand Forks, as bridesmaid, while Joseph Labelle, brother of the bride, supported the groom, the wedding taking place at the residence of the bride's parents, at the Cottage hotel. The bride and bridesmaid were dressed in white, and after a wedding breakfast, the bridal couple left on the Great Northern train for Spokane, on a wedding trip, and will settle clown to housekeeping on their return here next week. Mr. Sherbino is the local manager for P. Burns & Co., and is also secretary of the Phoenix General hospital, anci has many friends here, while the bride is also favorably known here to a wide circle of acquaintances. The Phoenix Steam Laundry Co., Ltd., has been gazetted at Victoria. Conservatives Choose Today at Grand Forks. This morning the Conservative convention, to nominate a candidate to contest Grand Forks riding in the forthcoming provincial election, will be held at Grand Forks, Wednesday evening the Conservatives of Phoenix met and elected officers as follows : President, W. R. Williams* vice-president, W. X. McDonald; secretary-treasurer, A. S. Hood. Matters relating to the coming campaign were discussed, and it was the unanimous opinion that with a united front the Conservatives could win in this campaign in this riding, and all over the province, as they did in the last provincial elections. The following were chosen to attend the nominating convention today in Grand Forks: O. N. Galer, W. X. McDonald, C. H. Flood, William H. Dock- steader, R. B. Boucher, W. R. Williams, D. Oxley, G. L. McNicol, Isaac Crawford, A. S. Hood, J. O. Church, Palmer Cook and W. J. Pierce. The alternates selected were : G. W. Rum- berger, D. B. Morkill, G. E. Dey and J. A. McMaster. Phoenix is entitled to eleven votes in the convention, and some of the names mentioued in connection with the nomination are E. Miller and D. Whiteside of Grand Forks, and G. W. Rumberger, of Phoenix. Whoever is the nominee of the convention, it is certain that the rest of the delegates will pledge themselves to give him their hearty support. President Mark F. Madden, of the Providence Mining Co. is expected to arrive iu Greenwood early in January. 1 he tonnage from Boundary mines is somewhat curtailed this week on account of Christmas, when most of the miners were given a holiday. Granby Consolidated's fifth dividend is payable next Monday, December 31st, and amounts to $4c 5,000, making a total of $1,753,000 paid to date-, by this company in dividends. At ��he Mountain Rose, Summit camp, ore bunkers are being constructed on the C. P. R. spur, with a long trestle and tramway, which will entirely do away with the wagon haul which has heretofore been necessary. Report comes from the Similkameen district that reprsentatives of the Dominion Copper Co. have taken a bond on the No. 14 group of copper claims on Copper mountain, some nine miles from Princeton. The claims are owned by Emi! F. Voight, and representatives of the bonder are'expected out there soon to make arrangements for some exploratory work. ��� D. M. Mcintosh, for several years shiftboss at the LeRoi No. 2, in Rossland, has been selected as .superintendent of the British Columbia Copper Cp.'s Mother Lode mine, he having arrived at the mine this week. S. C. Hoi man, who has had charge there for several years, gives up his position on the 31st inst., and will move to Spokane, where his parents live. With the end of 1906 Boundary mines will have shipped a grand total of approximately 4,645,000 tons of ore in six and a half years, with an estimated value of $25,000,000, and having an estimated coppei contents of 100,000,000 pounds p.s a minimum. In 1906 the Boundary production of copper is estimated at close to 30,000,- 000 pounds, figuring on an average recovery of 25 pounds to the ton of ore. CONTEST FOR MAYOR'S CHAIR G. W. Rumberger and D. Matheson in the Race. J. City Election to be Held January J 6th. ence, , around McLeod Held for Trial. '--> miirnincr -Jaclt MoPcnllj, *J, who was under the influ- 116*.yed Norman McLeod from one place to another, trying to make trouble. McLeod kept away from him, but McDonald came on him unawares and struck him. in the face. At the time McLeod had his knife out and made a pass at McDonald, the knife penetrating McDonalds stomach slightly. McLeod gave himself up to the policej while McDonald was taken to the hospital, where his injuries are not pronounced very serious unless some complications set in. McLeod was arraigned Thursday before Police Magistrate Williams, being defended by solicitor McLeod, of Greeenwood. Testimony of witnesses was heard, and it seemed plain that McDonald was the aggressor,' but the judge could do nothing but hold McLeod for a higher court. This year there promises to be an interesting contest in Phoenix for the mayor's chair, the announced candidates thus far being Mayor G. W. Rumberger and D. J. Maiheson, who has been city clerk for several years last past. Both men are evidently in the fight to win, and the friends of both are now busily engaged in taking stock of the voters' list, which was certified to by the court of revision and printed and issued this week. The voters' list has 173 names on it this year, just about the same as last.year, in addition to which there are 16 names of those outside the city limits who are entitled to cast votes for school trustees only. Apparently there will also be full aldermanic tickets in the field in both the east and west wards, and a canvas is being made of the aldermanic timber available. Some members, at least, of the 1906 council will stand for.re-election, while others do not wish to have their names put up again. No definite announcements have yet been made regarding candidates for councilmen, and they may not be made till the day of nomination, two weeks from next Monday. On account of the change in the municipal elections act, by which the voters' list was closed earlier this year than last, there are quite a number of citizens who failed to register and get their names on the list. Thus far rhere does not appear/o be any-cuiiWst for the position of "fihool trustees. Sloiln? Christmas Carols. About two o'clock Christmas morning a party of some 30 Cornishmen, mostly from the Mother Lode mine, arrived in town, and proceeded to serenade a number of places, singing Christmas carols in front ofthe various houses. Foreman Sampson, of the Brooklyn mine, was one of those favored in this way at his residence, and like a true Cousin Jack, it was appreciated by him as well as by others. It took them back to old times in the old country when this was a regular custom. Latest Prices in Metals. New York���Copper, electrolytic, $23.- 50@*23.75; lake. -523.50 @ $24.00.

If they have a strong man in view for legislative honors, he is yet to be named. Nosr, the Pioneer is hself something of an optimist, and notwithftanding the production of 1,175,000 tons be foro 1006 is finally closed, we hardly look for an increase of nearly 100 per cent in our output in 1907. This year showed an approximate increase of 40 per cent over 1905, and a similar increase m the year to come will give us a total of say 1,500.000 for the next calendar year. That would do very well of itself, and we shall feel j that the progress is substantial when it eventuates. Christmas Dividends. j Dividends and interest disburse- j ments on Canadian secumies durinj- ] the present month will aggregate two and one-half million dollars, says the Rossland Miner. No less than four- 1 teen of the thirtv five chartered banks ' will pay quarterly or halt-yearly dividends, amounting to upwards of $i,-' 6oo,coo. Many industrial companies will pay interest on rapital stock and on bonds, while the Granby and some of the Cobalt companies will pay dividends amounting to large sums. Then there are a large number -of close coiporations, whicn never publish their divindends, and these combined will swell the list probably 10 310,000,- 000 for the month. This shows how prosperous the country is, and to what large proportions the financial, industrial and mining corporations are growing. The shares of these corporations are held by many thousands of people, some owning a few and others thousands of shares of the stock. Toe dividends will be a great help to all who receive ;hem in making Christmas pleasant for themselves and their friends. King of Ail Cough Medicines. Mr. E. G.

The music was all. that could be desired, furnished, in. the best style of the James and Biner orchestra. Some.of the dancers from the outside were from Greenwood, Midway, Eholt, and Grand Forks, and they all voted having a most, delightful time, the committee in charge leaving nothing undone for their enjoyment.

John Mclnnis is theiirstcandidate nominated by either of the three politi- calrparties in this riding. He was put up'by the Socialists at their ;convention here last week, and will make a good fight, but has little chance to win. After guessing steadily for the past six months or more, the Liberal organs of this province hit upon the exact date for the next appeal to the-people. It.will be on February .2, and the Grit papers discovered the fact, like others, when the announcement came officially fiom Victeria. D. J. Matheson states lhat he will run for mayor of Phoenix in opposition to G. W. Rumberger. Thus there is certain to be a contest, and more strenuosity in municipal politics in this city than ever before.

The Nicola Herald has a concise aud lucid editorial on the subject ni "Better Terms," from which ihe fallowing paragraph is taken. It sums up the situation admirably : "The question, of '.eiicr term-; i.- being thoroughly muddled by the Liberal press of this province. -Tlu-y Miy it is not a party question, and then with all their puny miuht they tvvisi and turn motives and statements to suit their own ends, and in many cases make raih statements the very reverse of true. The statement that the Premier refused the grant of $115,000 per annum is a gross libel and has been done purely from political motives, and it says little for the cause which it is supposed to represent, when the Liberal press continue to publish these misstatements, and try to decry the attitude of the premier on a question in which he should have the whole souled support of everyone in the province."

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO THOSE INTERESTED COPPER MINING INDUSTRY ���*<4* *��-5-<* *>������<* 0(0 l?W* Tbe Situation.In Copper. President Sherman, of the coal miners'unions in the Crow's Nest Pass country, seems to be finding his star in the decendant of late. He is being repudiated by his own people, for alleged sharp practice and wire pulling in union affairs and union elections, and is credited with being the sole cause of the recent strike in that section. If these are facts, the sooner he joins the down and out club the better for the laboring men in the Crow. There is great interest ,in copper today, because the industry is of great importance in mining and in its effects on. business in general. Twenty-five years have passed, says the Mining World, since the copper industry was as prosperous as it is today. The record high prices current in 1906 have been due to the extraordinary demand, which indicates a consumption in excess of the production both here and abroad. A suggestion that the market will continue high indefinitely is made by producers who have sold copper for future delivery at prices that approach the schedule of the famous French syndicate which reached its zenith in 1880. In 1906 the extreme quotations for Lake copper at New York were i8|4 to 23^6 cents per pound. Production by these mines for the nine months ending with September is estimated at 168,891,200 pounds, as against 166,- 162,480 pounds in the corresponding ���-o ��**-*��-<�� rs��*-c�� ��r>-��^*�� �����>���������<'�������������� tr"*-.*--*"* ��r>-��-<=r�� ��->��o ��*>������<-���*�� ��-*-���� ?

The electrolytic copper industry has shared well in the country's prosperity, and after years of ups and downs the Atnagamated Company's shareholders again receive dividends at the rate of 8 per cent per annum. Production in the Butte district is growing rapidly, and for the first nine months of the current year the quantity is calculated at 279,338,954 pounds. To be sure, Montana will again occupy first place as a copper producer, although Arizona is making a strong fight. Electrolytic copper sold this year at 18^ to 22^ cents per pound in cakes, and wire bars f. o. b. New York. Dividend payments by six Montana, one Tennessee, one Utah and one Wyoming company, for the ten months to October this year amount to $29,810,403, making a total of $96,241,314 since incorporation on an outstanding share capital of $260,761,400.

Some time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac camo to Waco ami sal for his picture, holding in his hand a stick cut from tho grave of General Andrew Jackson.

J IN speaking of liis good health and oxtromo old ago, Mr. Brook Bays: "After a man has lived in tho world as long as I havo, ho ought to have found out a great many things by experience. I think I havo done so. "One ofthe things I have found out to my entire satisfaction Is the proper thing for aliments that arc due directly to the effects ot the climate. For117 years 1 have withstood the changeable climate of the United States. "I have always been a very healthy man, but, of course, subject to tho af- fccl ions -which aro due to sudden i hungcd in tho climate and temperature. During my long lifo I have known, a groat many remodlcs for coughs, colda and diarrhoea. "As for Dr. Hartman's remedy, Peruna, 1 have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable remedy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and 1 attribute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy. "II exactly moots all my requirements. It protects mo from tho evil effects of sudden changes; it keeps me in good appetite; itgives mo strength; It keeps my blood in good circulation. I havo como to rely upon it almost entirely for tho many little things for which I need medicine. '���When epidemics of la grippe first began to make their appearance in this country I was a sufferer from this disease. "/ had several long sieges with the grip. At first 1 did not know that Peruna was a remedy for this disease. When 1 heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, I tried Peruna for la grippe and found It to be just the thing." In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes: "I am well and feeling as well as I have for years. Tbe only thing that bothers me is my sight. If I could see better I could walk all over the farm, and It would do me good. I would not be withoat Pernna." " Yours truly, d^V .elktrefi.. When old age comes, it brings with it catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people, Tbia explains why Peruna has become so Indispensable to many old people.

The harder you work, the more you worry, the more Iron you require. But Crude Iron won't do. Iron Pills, Iron Tinctures, Iron Tonics are useless in nineteen cases out of twenty. You must have pre-digested Iron or your blood will not assimilate it. FERROL furnishes the Iron you need in combination with Cod Liver Oil, and so intimately incorporated with the oil that the most delicate digestive organs cannot fail to assimilate it. The value of the combination cannot be overestimated. It builds up and fortifies the system against Coughs, Colds, Bronchial Affections and kindred troubles. If any of these diseases have already been contracted, or if the lungs are affected or threatened, FERROL cures by enabling nature to throw off the disease, not by " killing the germs," which is a physical impossibility. FERROL is an absolute specific for Croup and Bronchitis, and no household where there are children can afford to be without it. PERROI. is not a patent mystery. The formula is freely published.

WARM COURT OF REVISION. Some Objection to Names *on the Municipal Voters' List.

Mayor Rumberger and Al- l dermen Kane and Oxley were on hand, I and a number of others including Revs. Whittaker and Lundie, and William Delahay. Mr. Whittaker objected to ja number of names on the list, and [one, tint of Roderick McLeod, was I struck ( fT, as lie had not been residing ! within the city limits since January 1st. I The court met again on Saturday land on Monday at the same time and ! place, when it adjourned. Mr. Delahay 'objected to the name of M. li. Roy, j an old resident here but who has been ! in business in Greenwood for some l months. Mr. Roy appeared in his ! own behalf, stated that he kept a room ! here all the time, was frequently here ! to occupy it and considered Phoenix ! as his residence. After threshing the j matter out and listening lo testimony j and arguments, the whole tiling seemed to hinge on the interpretation of what 'constitutes a '���residence" within the j meaning of the law.

[__ _ _^ From now on, now that a provincial election has been announced for February ad, we shall be regaled with a rehashing of the various things that the McBride government has left undone, to say nothing of a few that they have done that they should not have done. Of course, this will all come from the opposition press, and those papers will lose no opportunities to dish the stories up in new forms. But, remember, intelligent reader, that these same papers will forget all about how the McBride government found the country in the worst possible financial shape, with poor credit at home and abroad, and also that the contrary is now the case. And for this, lhe Liberals of the province cannot take one ounce of credit. Mr. McBride and his advisors have done something that no government in this province had been able to accomplish for years. Make a note of that, while you are reading of what terrible fellows they are. ������� Those rainbow chasers who have had a weather eye on Prince Rupert, the new Grand Trunk Pacific terminal town, will not be made any happier by the announced statement that lots in that sure to he-boomed town will not be placed on the market till next September. But, about that time, look out for a rush to Prince Rupert���it will be in the line of a record breaker. ����� Far away mineralflelds have a most attractive appearance, and the knowing ones seem to be able to make good often in those places, among the many who have failure to the credit, but who do not advertise that fact, naturally. In Cobalt camp, that has had such a sensational rise, a number of old Boundary people have done business to advantage while the tide was at the flood. I. Robert Jacobs, formerly of Greenwood, is said to have made a pile there. T. H. Rea, of the Betts and Hesperus, is spending some time there, and he is said to be doing so to advantage, while Alex Miller, who grubstaked so ne men to go to that locality, has lost nothing by the deal. These and others who have been through two or three British Columbia booms, will probably be wise enough to make hay while the sui; shines and clean up while they can. ���11 Al McKinney, who was the discoverer of the Cariboo mine in camp McKinney, was recently in Phoenix and decidedly down on his luck, being without funds of any kind and suffering from a cancer in his face. A number of friends and acquaintances of this locator of one of Boundary's dividend payers made up a subscription list of something like $150, and McKinney went on a trip to a point in Missouri, where he could be treated and possibly cured of his terrible affliction by one who has been rarely successful with cancers. It is to be hoped that the old man will return cured. L. A. KETTLE RIVER VALLEY LANDS. Doull Invest Campbell and W W $90,000In Them. Early last month W. W.

Next Monday shareholders of the the Granby Consolidated are due to receive their fifth dividend, amounting to a total of $405,000 paid at this time, or a grand total of $1,753,000 paid to date in profits by this company. As a New Year's gift this will, of course, be welcome���but it is still more valuable from one standpoint, because it cements the belief, justified by the conditions prevalent, that this company will be able to contiuue this sort of thing for a long time to come ���and further, that it is not the only Boundary company that will be in the dividend paying class. Think of a shareholder receiving in one dividend more than his original stock cost him, and having had no assessment in the meantime, either. And that is exactly the case with some of the Granby shareholders, who have stayed with their holdings to this day. Certificate of Improvements. NOTICt*.

Death of Samuel Jonei. Samuel Jones, a young miner of 2 1 years, died Monday at the hospital, not surviving the amputation of his right ieg. About a week ago Jones was bruised by a car in the Granby mines, but it was not thought the injury was at all serious, though he was taken to the hospital and cared for. Gangrene setting in, it was found necessary to amputate his leg in an effort to save his life. This was done Monday, but he passed away in a short time afterwards. Jones had been in camp four or five months, having arrived here direct from Wales, and having a number of friends here, Wm. Yolen Williams, of Spokane, being well acquainted with the man's family. When bruised on December 18th, he was very fearful of the result, though the physicians did not deem it very serious. The funeral was held Friday, Rev. Whittaker, of the Methodist church, officiating. TEN BIG ACTS J. W.���SMITH���MATTIE Mimical Act TOM LANGSTER Ti.e Mou With TnlW. THE LEAMORE CHILDREN AcrubulH, EDITH���HENRY���LEE, JR.
