[The Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal]
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.

In point of relative importance, as shown by the ore tonnage, and conto- values recovered, these eis nor mine workers weie in any way quently the responsible, taken altogether, the cat- mines mny.be placed in the following ender year of 1902 has shown a most order:. Granby. mines, Mother Lode, decided advancement in the Boundary , Snowahoe, JB. C. miiiei Sunset and district .of British Columbia, both as! Emma. Three of these properties regards the amount of actual development woric accomplished and the results as shown by the ore shipments from the mines themselves. Referring fust to the matter of ore ousput, the. records show that in the year 1900—the year that theC. 1'. R. completed its branch line into the boundary—-a little short of 100,000 tons of o're weie sent out from our several shipping mines. In 1901 the shipments increased nearly three fold, the total being a few tons short of 300,- 000 tons for the full twelve months. In 1902,the .figures, fpr the last few days being estimated, as the figures are not yet made public, the splendid total of over 500,000 tons, or an increase of nearly or qui'e 25 per cent over the previous year/ has been the result'." "■ Had it not been for the untoward events following the explosion in the Fernie coal mines in East Kootenay in May, whence the only coke supply, can be obtained at a price that will admit of a profit on these ores when smelted, there is every reason to believe that this record would been much larger than it is; the ore was'and is lerfdy to be taken from Boundary mines in almost unlimited quantities, the miners were^satisfied with the' conditions at the mines, capital was re?dy, and the smelters were prepared lo handle the output as fast as it was delivered to'tiiem. Mines That Shipped. Throughout the past year a few mines have been regular .shippers from the Boundary district. As there are sis of these that have figured steadily.in the weekly reports as shippers," they have been locally known as the "Big Six." They are the Granby and Snowshoe mines in Phoenix camp; the Mother Lode and Sunset mines in Deadwood; and .the Emma and H. C. mines in Suirimil.camp. The only one of these that, have shipped every week of the year is the Granby, although the Mother have shipped only to their own smelters, namely, the Granby, Mother Lode and Sunset. Coming to the details of shipments fiom each mine, the following table will give the respective tonnage of each, as neaily as it.! could be ascertained: Mine. Tom. Granby.mines, Phoenix camp .. 800,860 Snowshoe, Phoenix camp ....... : 20,800 Mother I.ode, Dead wood camp . 141,320 Sunset, Deadwood cunip ....... 8,010 B.

Almost 60,000 tons of ore, or practically at the rate, of 2,000 tons daily, were shipped during December, the next Iaigest month bcjng October, when 55,- 000 tons were sent out and treated at Boundary smelters. Boundary's Three Snu Iters. During the year 1902 two of the Boundary's three smelters, viz., the Granby and Mother Lode, were running . continuously for the twelve months, with the exception of the time when the coke supplies were cutoff in the summer, The Sunset smelter only began active operations about the time that coke supplies were about to fail, but this smelter has also been running steadily since the coke was steadily forthcoming—after the settlement of the coal miners' strike in East Kootenay. The Granby. smelter is located at Grand Forks, having four blast fur naces, two copper converters which handle the matte from the other two Boundary smelteis also, and being a most complete plant in evciy way. Two additional furnaces have been ordered recently in Chicago, which will give a combined capacity for these works of six furnaces, or 2,200 tons of of ore daily. This smelter takns but little ore, with the exception of some ores from Republic, in Washington, largely used as converter linings, outside that fiom its own mines in Phoenix camp. The Mother Lode smelter is located at Greenwood, and has a capacity ol" two blast furnaces, it being understood that two more furnaces will be added this year. "Mother Lode and. some customs ores are reduced at this smelter, including those of the Snowshoe and B. C. mines. The Sunset smelter, situated at Boundary Falls, four miles below Greenwood, was originally built by the Standard Pyritic Smelting Co., but was not blown in till purchased and remodelled by the Montreal and Boston Copper Co. last spring and summer. The same company owns and operates the Sunset'mine in Deadwood camp, taking also at the smeller ores from the B. C. and Snowshoe mines. The Sunset smelter has one furnace and is now installing a second, to be ready for use in January, and has placed the order for a third, to be placed in commission in the spring. Boundary's three smelters have reduced over 500,000 tons of ore during 1902. The Granby concern, which is the largest, has handled about three- filths of this tonnage, the Mother Lode smelter, about one-thiid, and the Sunset smelter the balance. With twelve or thirteen furnaces in operat on in KJ03, it is not unreasonabe to believe that the output of ore for that year will be in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 tons. Over Two Millions In Values. Boundfiy mines have not yet quite gotten to the stage where dividends hava been paid. As is usual with low- grade properties, it requires years ot preparation and the investment of large capital to reach this point, but several of them promise to enter the dividend class this coming year.; This being the case, nothing officially lias yet been given out as to the exact values of the oies The oie of this section is nearly 01 quite all of the copper-gold variety, aud generally speaking is well known to be of low grade—but there are liter ally mountains of it, so that the expense of extraction is reduced to the minimum. The values have been van'ously estimated at from $4 to $6 per ton, so that $5 is-probably a fair average. On this basis the mines of the Boundary have produced during the year ore worth at least $2,500,- 000, the values being in copper, gold and silver, in the order mentioned. A few mines have been developed during the year having shown phenomenally high values, notably the Providence, near Gieenwood, from which a few cars have been shipped running from $roo to $150 per ton. But the genera) run of the ore is low in value, and it is only by using the most modem equipment in both mine and smelteis that the properties can be made to reach a paying basis; as it is now" believed they have. One feature of the mining development, this year is the system of open quarrying of ore, first used only at the, Granby mines, but now adopted to a greater or less extent by all of the large shipping mines of the district to advantage. By this plan hoisting is done away with, the ore being broken down and run through shutes or by trams to the railway dump cars by gravity. It promises to be much more largely used in the future, as it is a most economical method of getting out the ore.

The Granby mines shipped 29,256 tons of ore in December. This week the new electric hoist, 150 horse power,, arrived'at the Snow- shoe mine, and is now being installed over the main shaft. Foi the last ten days the CP..R has had a good deal of trouble in getting the ore trains from mines to smelters, on account of the great amount of snow, continually falling, coupled with the lack of adequate motive power. The new company to take over the Oro Denoro in Summit camp, is to be styled the Denoro Mines, Ltd., and development is to commence this month. The capital of the new corpoi ration is placed at $1,500,006 in dollar share", the deal being put through by Smith Curtis, M..L. A. Last Wednesday a new record in hoisting was made at the No. 2 shaft of the Old Ironsides mine In eight hours 440 cars of ore were hoisted from the 300 foot level; each car having about a ton of ore. As about half an hour is allowed for lunch, this makes about a car every minute on the average. It is reported from Grand Forks that the Seattle claim, on the North Fork,of Kettle river, has been bonded by Robert Clark, Charles Hay and Neil McCallum to Rossland parties for a figure,close to $100,000. Development is to be started at once, and alter March 1st, $1,000 in work is to be done monthly. lead and copMr/'the;lotal'';Va!uetnpw:^ given will be' foumi to be a close \ an- ^■■^ .rv-i-.'^-xvniiM&zd ftJ proximaUon.:,,";\"'-;.;;.y;^ The tonnage of^ the^ metaiiiife>ouisf|| mines shows a substantial increase the values are about .the same or a lower than' last year.:y yyzZZti- , " The/coal-and. coke.re|urns\;S^o^ increase, despite the} miinyZ^f^}^Zl0&M0i^^^^iifi\ encountered': by the industrydun^ year;-/: : ZZ> ^Z£.^-^£^^ "In ■ some instances the figures'^e'gi^Hj|g||||||||||^;| •,«S'.: '^oS'lv^S en in round numbers arid the districts havcbeen; grouped:- :;;■';;■■■ ^yZ'WyyW^^^^'^^i^^&^S District. :jyyy_ZT<a*._r: :.^y;Blu^ffi|®pl§SS||||^ Boundary . ,.ZMi; 609,000; f5,03p,)Q0|;' - - *«• Kosslaud*......;:■.[..;.'.337,000 Nelson ...........:."70,000 Slocan and Slocan 'hie, Lardeau and ?-' Trout lake ..'.'!.;.;.'..,^28,500?Z$®& East Kootenay ;;..".

The three Boundary smelters are each taking steps'to facilitate the disposal of slag, which is now accumulating fast. The Granby Co; has;: placed an order this week with-R. Fv Williams, Boundary agent of the Jenckes Machine Co., of Sherbrooke, Quebtc, for two 8x14 locomotives, to'!be used in hauling slag from the smelter to the dump. A few days previously the the same company received an oidtr for a 7x12 locomotive for use for the Sunset smelter. The Mother'Lode smelter owners are now pulling in a slag elevator to overcome the same kind of a difficulty. The three locomotives ordered are to be delivered within 90 days, according to the contracts. This week the Granby smelter treat ed 10,115 tons'Of Phoenix ore — the argest record for many weeks.

As Anno Domini 1902 has now passed;into history, a review and preview regarding the Boundary are not out of place at this time. One year ago there was reason to believe that the'year 1902 would be found to be the most prosperous yet experienced by business and mining men in the Boundary* district. A number of things, however, conspired to postpone ���this much-to-be-desired state of affairs. Railway building, which it was fully expected'would take place, was una- 'voidably* delayed, and the coke and coal troubles in Easf Kootenay during most of the .slimmer did not mend matters. ���-,''��� If, as a Rossland paper asserts, that camp will jump fiom a population of 6,000 to 6o,coo when the low grade mines are worked, what will the population of the Boundary camps jump to when a like number of mines are being opei'ated ? Here is a nut for the statistician to crack. Now that Marconi has successfully inaugurated his system of wireless ocean telegiaphy, Marconigrams are likely to become quite popular in short order, and the"cable companies will be guessing. As Bi'er johnsing was le- poited to have icmarked, "De world do move." Extra copies of this issue of the Phoenix l'ioneer can be"bad at this office, ready wrapped for mailing Send them away to your friends. It will give them an idea of what is being done in the Boundaiy country in a mining and smelling way. A new position has been created in the Japanese newspaper offices ��� that of prison editor. When some one in the office has to go to jail, the piison editor comes in handy. The Sandon Paystreak is not published in "japan. Another week has passed and no new report of the consolidation of Boundary ore producers has' been mooted. The rumor mongers must be laying off after woiking double shifts for a while. A record of shipping half a million tons of.ore in the. third year after starting shipments is not so bad for the Boundary". But 1903 will show anoth er'remarkable increase unless all signs fail. * ' '" But the'one thing that was really felt most by the mine owners was ,the v "V , , ,f* fall in the price of copper early in 1902. VJust about twenty-five per cent-was knocked off the world's' market price, and the metal has not yet gotten back to where it evidently belongs. .Nevertheless, this, did not discourage Boun- " dary mine owners, as the mines were kept in operation just the same. It - did,- however, materially iessen the pro fits, and undoubtedly' postponed the day for declaring dividends. In spite of all this, there has been a 'distinct.advance in mining matters in the Boundary.Hus last year. , Nearly ��� all of the large shipping mines are sending out "more ore than ever before, and ' four blast' furnaces have been added to the three that weie in operation in 1901. As will be noticed from the fig- ' tires printed on the first page of this '^issiie of the Pioneer, there has been an advance in the matter of ore shipments of a good round twent-five per cent, whicfi Is certainly a healthy increase. ���'The ore produced amdunted in value ' to between two and thiee millions of dollars.

C MINING , :���.*..��*����������������������������������������������������*������������������*������*���������*****"****' \V. \V, Warner has taken a new lease on the Wonderful, in the Slocan. The Breen smelter a't Crofton has suspended operations till more ore can be had. It is announced' that the Victory- Triumph gioup, near Rossland, will be leopened in the spiing. The Payne mine is shipping zinc oie to Iola, Kansas, at the rate of 500 tons per month. The lich strike on the Gold Hill, near Nelson, is proving to be even richer than at first reported. Ei nest Rammelmeyer has bonded the Fern mine, which is located-at Hall Siding and is equipped with a ten stamp mill. The tonnage for the past >ear for the Slocan and Slocan City-mining divisions will amount to a little over 26,- 000 tons, being about the same as last yeai. The Ameiican Boy in the Slocan is shipping icgularly about 100 ions per month and employing about 20 men. The mine is looking well and the values of late have incieased. The late feature in mining at Rossland has been the stimulated iuteiest in the minor pioperlies of the camp, such as the White Hear, the Home- stake and ihe Green Mountain. Six smelters aie now in active opei- ation in British Columbia, namely, Nelson, Trail, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Boundary Falls and Ladysmith. Three of the six are located in the Boundary. Peter Swanson, a Northport saloon keeper, has been airested in Rossland, charged with stealing valuable matte fiom the Le Roi smelter. Hehas confessed and implicated otheis in Noith poi t.

STRICTLY BUSINESS The Pioneer wishes every one of its readers, from the highlands of Jcotland to the icy slopes of the Klondike, 5s Happy New Year. In a business way ,'tfie last year has not been all that was desired, .yet general business has gradually come to a more stable basis all over the district, and mercantile firms aie in a more rsatisfactory.condition. hm-' ,, 1 For the fnture, especially in the year now dawning, there,is Indeed a bright outlook, and it is full of promise. Our three smelters, with seven lurnaces, promise to have twelve or thirteen in operation in 1903, giving a .daily output 6i over 4,000 tons of ore, against about 2,500 now, and an .average of ..some 1,500 tons for the last year. This, of course, means the employment of hundreds more men in our mines and smelters.' In addition to this, it "is not at all unlikely that there will be another smelter built in the Boundary during the coming year, the matter being now undv r consideration. The long postponed building of the ,V., V. & E. into the mining camps of the Boundary wiH undoubtedly be car ried out this year, giving employment to thousands of men not now in the country. The Great Northern president, of which system this new line will be a part, has unreservedly expressed himself in this way, and from other indications there is every reason to believe that he means it this time. This means competition in service, even if it does not bring the competition in rates so much desired. One of the first pieces of railway to be built, we are as- , sured, is the branch to Phoenix.

Q, Three or lour years ago the papers had long accounts of the so-called wonderful discovery of a method ol transmuting silver into gold. It was claimed that it could'really be done, and great predictions were made for the plan. However, there must have been n screw loose'somewhere, for .the centuries' old plan of digging the .-precious nietjj from 'the'earth'' isi'slilV the recognized way of producing gold. MS ' Latterly another scheme has been piomulgated which has been called a ���>ort of gold growing -scheme. It is known as the Wynn system, and a corporation called the Wynn Extraction Co., was formed in Denver to exploit it. Some apparently satisfactory ex- peiiments were made, and the shares were snapped upby Chicago capitalists. , It is now announced fiom Denver that operations have been given up in disgust and the formula has been given to the,public.; The theory, was that much gold waslost in reducing low grade ore, and all this, would be saved by this formula. ���.

It was claimed that gold was actually made through this formula, but something went wrong and it could nof be doiie ,'igain. As far as getting gold is_ con - cerned, alchemy seems'-about"as far away as ever. L. E. Dudley, ynited States consul at Vancouver, has published the following letter; "I have received a letter from a promiment lawyer in the city of New YorK, asking me to put him into com munication with persons who have mining properties for sale. This gentleman informs me that he will shortly come to British Columbia, bringing a number of clients who are anxious to invest in mines if they can find promising opportunities. If mine owners desiring to find purchasers will communicate with me, I shall be filad to put them in communication with the gentleman who has written to me." '>�����#'''��� . It has always been a wonder why the C. P. R. did not buy. the Spokane Falls & Northern railway some years ago, when it was in the market, instead of letting the Great Northern get it Doubtless the C. P. R. ���officials have many a time regrettpd it, and since then they have done everything to fse cure the lion's share of.the trade of the Kootenays and Yale;.;, Hut. at last tli'ey see that-they inust>gain an entrance to Spjkane if they are to'be able to hold theirorfn fri getting the rich business of the Pacific, no.thwest. Mt Articles of incorporation of two railways have recently been filed in the state of Washington, ,one of which will run from Spokane toa'conncction with the C. P. R;'s Crow's .Nesst line, and the other will connect Seattle and T.-v- coma with Vancouver. D. C.'Corbiu, who'fought the C. P. R. so diligently when he controlled the Spokane Falls & Northern, Senator George Turner, and; a number of Seattle capitalists are the incorporator's, but tlie C. P. R. is stated to be behind the new enteir prises. The C. P. R is now trying to make-up for the mistake of, years ago, and Spokane will reap the benefit. The C. P. R.
