[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.

Sincerely, REVIEW OF PROGRESS ; FOR 1906 5,000 tons daily for .the next calendar year is entirely, probable, when. every-" thinn is considered.! \ ��� ��� - > f , Over a Hnadrs4 Millies Penttfi of Capper. , The recovery of copper per" ton fro in the ore of the mines ol the Boundary is known to be low, comparatively speaking, and an r average rate of 25 to 30 pounds per ton is'considered conservative. On this - baBis, the copper fine' production of the'Boundary mines for the'first. year^.of"o|,e"shippinp, 1900, was but,'3,000,000^pounds.. On ihe same basis, the recovery for 1906 will, The story of the Boundary district of British Columbia tor the year just closed is one' of steady-- progress in every direction of metallurgical' effort. Not , only have the large producers been doing a gradually increasing business in mining and smelling,'but the smaller and higher "grade mines have been showing up unusually well and have been a source of satisfaction and profit to their owners ' and promoters. More men are employed in the Bound* ary mines today, more' men are employed in " Bouhdary " smelters,- and more men are used by the railways in handling the products of the mines and smelters, than ever before in' tbe history of this growing and progressive section., This fact| tells the story in words that cannot fail to carry conviction as to the richness of this section from a Vnineral standpoint. One feature of prime importance in assuring capitalists that Boundary mines can ' be made" profitable by the judicious admixture of brains and money, is the fact that .the Granby Consolidated was this year placed on a twelve per cent dividend paying basis, the fourth three per cent dividend for 1906 being payable to the shareholders last Monday, December 31st. As the Granby Co." is the largest concern of its kind in the ��� province, having operated on the niost extensive scale, its record has been more closely watched, perhaps," than any other mining company" in ' British Columbia*��� for on its success depended much. Its undoubted success, evidenced by the fact that with, Monday's payment_of $405,000 the company has paid a total of $r,753,000 thus far in dividends, places tbe question of profitable mining, in the Boundary beyond the peradventure of a doubt., , . One result is that the other two large companies, the British Columbia Copper Co. and the Dominion Copper ("to., are spreading out -in their operations to a considerable-extent, thus shape.for use.soro&Ltirae'this winter Granby Consolidated in - proving that Boundaiy's low grade - ores can'- be mined and smelted at a profit���especially in view of the present-high price obtainable for copper. , When 1906 started out, the prediction was made" that' Boundary mines would send out this year at least a million and a quarter tons of ore. , This figure has not quite been reached, but another year will see it largely exceeded, unless all signs of the- times in a mining and smelting way fail . This year the output approximates 1,190.000 tons, and 1907 should see the figures around 1,500,000 tons of ore from the district mines. There is no trouble in getting out this amount of ore, if the capacity of the district smelters was sufficient to handle' the output. And this phase of the question is receiving constant attention. But building smelters is slow work al best; nevertheless those in the Boundary are constantly undergoing enlargements. Poar Million Tons of Ore. In six years and a half the mines of the Boundary have sent out to the district smelters approximately 4,644,000 tons of ore. This is from 1900, in the middle of which year ore shipments were commenced, to the end of 1906. It will thus be noted that the progress has been little short of marvellous. In (900 but 97,000 tons were shipped, while in 1906 a total of about 1,191,- 000 tons of Boundary ore were dug out of our mines and sent down the l.ills in different directions to the three district reduction works���eleven times as much in 1906 as in the year 1900. To show the yearly progress and increase of output the following table is given : 1900 97,000 tons. 1901 39����0,00 " 1902 5��9��000 " 1903 690,000 '��� 1904 830,000 " 1905 953,������ " 1906 (December estimated)... 1,191,000 " ���an amount sufficient to make it worth while in the .world's grand total.' Altogether the 'mines of the Boundary in these seven short years, baye contributed approximately 140,600,000 pounds of copper.' *' In addition to this there are the gold and silver, values to be considered. The values of the ores thus treated would; amount to more than $25,000,000, not taking into con sideration 4 the high* "prices prevailing for the brown metal** for the last year Napoleon. The company is also working the Lone Star and Washington group, near Danville, Wash,, with good results thus fur. Steadily and surely the Dominion Copper Co. lias bi en working ils way through the last year, having shipped and treated,more .than, 200,000 toiis of pre from its mines, mostly in Phoenix'camp. ' * ! While shipments have been steady from the Brooklyn,-Idaho, Mountain Rose, Sunset, Rawhide, etc.',' it- is ��� lo the Idaho and Rawhide that thecoma pany looks for the increasing tonnage amount to about '435,000,000 pounds needed at the enlarged smelting works or more: <, V Mtaa laiaravcaieata. _ Nearly every *one of the large Boundary producers have been making extensivcadditions to their machinery plants'this last year^for the purpose of preparing for larger'' outputs generally in the near future. Probably'hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent here in this manner and are still being expended. -'* . At the Granby mines work has been progressing steadily.- on what is known as the Victoria shaft and headworks. This will be, the permanent working shaft of these great'mines, and the company, is spending something like $100,000 or more iff "fitting up the shaft and the accompanying head- works with the requisite machinery. 'J he shaft ��� is now *down 400 feet, has been timbered, and .is being placed in Grand total... .4,660,60c " Of the above upwards of four and a half millions of ions of ore, the Granby mines have sent out near three- quarters, or over 3,000,000 tons, this ore all coming from Phoenix camp; the British Columbia Copper Co.'s Mother Lode mine has sent out about 830,000 tons, and the balance, some 640,000 tons, were shipped largely by the mines now controlled by the Dominion Copper Co., and sundry small shippers. That the next seven ��y.ears will see several times the abo.v.e tojal sent out from onr mines is morall.y certain, as the mines were never in such excellent condition for maintaining heavy and even enlarged shipments over what they are today. In fact, a total ot a million an J a hall tons for. 1907 alone would be only a normal increase, while every indication points to the shipment of larger arid larger tonnages as years roll by. An average rate of shipping engine,- to be operated" by' electrictty," has 250 h.p., driven by" an electric moter of like, power. There will also be a third mammoth ore crusher at this Victoria shaft, a duplicate of the other two now in operation,at the Granby mines, capacity 150 tons per hour at the maximum. Both the C. P. R. and Great Northern Railway are arranging to reach this shaft, and both will be fed from the extensive ore bins erected at that point. Besides this, betterments have been going on steadily all over the Granby mines, and development work has been kept well ahead of needs for months and years to come. The Gold Drop group exploitation has been most successful from every standpoint and immense, tonnages have been opened up here. On the Curlew, onr ofthe several new claims purchased this year, /a. large tonnage has been opened up, and this claim being below the Gold Drop, may eventually be used, by means of the tunnel, to tap the Gold Drop ore reserves, when needed. In one particular the Granby mines are in a fortunate position. If one of the openings should, by any reason, be placed out of commission, the regular output could be easily maintained from either one of two or three openings.' In fact this has been done in the past, and having two railways to haul the ore is another advantage in this direction. For the past year the British Columbia Copper . Co.'s mines have been working towards a much larger increase in output when the smelter should be enlarged. This now being done, the tonnage will at once, with the new year, coke supplies and the railway not failing, be trebled. The Mother Lode mine has" oeen extensively developed at depth, and with the force of 200 men there now, it can maintain shipments of 1,503 tons daily, if required. This company's Elm ma mine, in Summit camp, is one of the best of its properties, outside the Mother Lode, and has been developed most satisfactorily this last year, more and better copper ore having been found there. At both the Mother Lode and thc Emma the company is substituting electricity for steam power, at a great savings in costs. The B. C. Copper Co. this year bought outright thc Oro Denoro mine and the B. C. mine, both in Summit camp���and the acquisitions are known to be advantageous to the company. The B. C. mine has shipped over 100,- 000 tons of ore in the past���some of the Dsst ever sent out of Boundary mines���while the Oro Denoro, adjoining the Emma, also has large deposits of ore that can be cheaply mined and shipped. In the Napoleon mine, near Marcus, Wash., the B. C. Copper Co. also has a splendid proposition, giving the sulphur needed at the smelters, and having some other values, which are improving. Much is looked for from the at Boundary'Falls. " The'management feels eminently satisfied with the 'ex- tensive plan .of exploitation thus far- carried on,' especially at the Rawhide} where ,'th ree shafts are now/, at work) The^ Sunset also is showing up remarkably' well, and the values there.are im-j proving, there being more, copper in the mine, which was thought to be largely iron. ��� , ���' At the Idaho mine in this camp the Dominion Copper Co. is now assembling the parts of a 30-drill Rand air compressing plant, 10 supply power for the Brooklyn, Stemwinder, Idaho and Rawhide mines. This plant will be operated by electricity, thus making a large saving in operating costs. A smaller plant will also be put up at the Sunset mine, Deadwood camp. Besides this, the company has just started operations on the Athelstan, Wellington camp. One important feature of the year's development in the mines of the Boundary was the advent of the Con solidated Mining and Smelting Co. cf Canada to Phoenix���when that, com1 pany took a lease on the welj-knowji Snowshoe mine here. That thitycom^ pany, which is opet^��t.'.^^-ut^}ssj[iilly at Rossland. should reach out into the Boundary and take up one of Ibe large properties, is another evidence that the Boundary is attracting the attention of jnor^and^nore/iiaining-men of note! The Snowshoe is now shipping ore daily. ��� , Eifcaslve Smelter EatargemeaU. While Boundary's mines have been doing more and more business this last year, the three district smelting plants have been doing sven more in this direction, with still further enlargements already projected for the immediate future. This year the old smelting plant of the British Columbia Copper Co. at Greenwood has been entirely torn out, and a new and much larger smelter erected in "place thereof. While the old smelter had a capacity of 600 or 700 tons per day with two. furnaces, the new smelter, just completed and now ready for operation, is expected to handle from 1,500 to 2,000 tons of ore per day, or from 40,000 to 60,000 tons per month. The new smelter ;s erected after the latest improvements in smelting engineering, and the one or two furnaces that have already been placed in operation have come up fully to what was expected of them. Every known device has also been adopted at this smelter for economical operation, including .side-dumping charge cars, trolley slag cars, etc, At the Granby smelter the policy of extension has been carried out by en larging the furnaces that are now in operation there, Of the battery of eight blast furnaces, two were of the extra large type when installed, and the others are now undergoing the enlarg ing process. This was expected to be completed by the first of the year, but the burning down of an iron works and other causes have delayed finishing this work. However, in a month or two the work will probably be done, when the capacity of the smelter will be about 90,000 or 95,000 tons monthly. It is the policy to get out this tonnage with seven furnaces, allowing an average of one of the eight to be under repairs, if need be, all the time. The Dominion Copper Co.'s smelter at Boundary Falls, is also being increased in capacity of output by another and larger furnace. When this is completed, probably in a few weeks, this smelter will fiave a capacity of treating about 1,400 tons of ore daily. Boundary's three smelters, within the next month or two should be handling 6,000 tons of ore daily, if no un- forseen contingencies arise. High tirade Producers. While Boundary's copper mints have been shattering all previous records for output, etc., the high grade silver and gold mines of this section have not been forgotten. Chief among these is the Providence,near Greenwood, which is today a better, mine than ever be fore. A dividend of some $16,000 was paid in September, and development with some 35 men has been steady all this year. The company will doubtless make an even better reconl during the year to come. The Skylark is another silver mine that has done well, having paid for de- ^eloplllent and the bond also from the 1 ^FJ'T*' CI DC TP/fk proceeds of the ore shipments'in tnP'^l^l f IK12 J. \3 List two years.

The last attempt was made a few months ago 'when Howard Martin made his successful jail break, and he has not been*curious to visit Phoenix since that time, although' $5oo're- ward was offered for his capture. Monday evening City Clerk Matheson was busy in ihe��� council chamber on the city books, and ,N. Lemieux,'! also employed by the city, happened - to be there.

The Phoenix delegation of 11 would like to have presented thc name of G. W. Rumberger, but Grand Forks with its 16 votes, had a majority. Mr. Miller is well known through out the riding, having been prominent in this district since settling here several years ago. He is now. and has been for some time, city solicitor for Grand Forks, and has the reputation of being a hard worker in whatever he undertakes. He of course, expects to pile up a larger majority than G. A.. Fraser received nearly four years ago, and will make a thorough canvass of the riding during this month. Mr. Miller will be opposed by the Socialist candidate, John Mclnnis, and possibly by a Liberal candidate, though nothing to the latter effect is yet known. z^-A^m:^ The Pioneer Annual.

Sit., approached the McBiide government two or three yenrs ago, ihey found it would not be held up, in spite of their powerful efforts. Discrediting the campaign statements made in i9��3> by Hon. Mr. Templemnn all over this province, that no bonus would be asked for to build the railway through British Columbia, they boldly requested a tremendously liberal hnd grant from Mr. McBride, and received just what they deserved-���nothing. And so they come from the Yukon, from,' Ottawa, and more quietly, perhaps, from the G. T. P. offices, with the full intention of beating Mr. McBride���all of which shows the desperate straits of His Majesty's loyal opposition in this province, and the lengths to which its members are willing to go for the much coveted chance to sit on the treasury benches at Victoria. But it will be all in vain���make no error there." Not only are the intentions and designs. realized in this province, but <the, electorate at large knows full well under whose government this province has flourished recently as never before. To any reasonable mind there is not the least doubt that-the McBride government will be returned with an increased ma: jority, when the ballots are counted on Saturday, February 2d next���notwithT standing all that the powerful, Ottawa machine can do with the Heavy rein: forcemenls which it will bring into action soon. Rallying to.a Hopdess .Cause. ,With the announcement of the pror vincial elections within-less than a month,, Liberals throughout British Columbia, especially those heretofore professedly anxious tor an appeal to the people, are beginning to wonder what they will really have for a campaign cry around which to rally the faithful. Whatever they may say, they know in their inmost hearts that the Conservative governmeM of the Hon.- Richard McBride has been the best government that this province has ever been blessed with for a scoie of years. They know that, notwitstand; ing the efforts of the Ottawa politicians to the contrary, Mr. McBride's government has been a clean, business-like and successful administration. There; fore they are hard put to it (or camT paign argumentative thunder. But they see a Moses in sight, and he comes out from the Yukon, and if the Grits can make it sufficiently an object to him, Hon. W. W. B. Mclnnes will lend a hand in the campaign now on. But "Wullie" has his price, and while that price is the biggest plum in case of success, the Liberals of the province seem glad to promise to pay the high figure. The mere fact that Mr. Mclnnes should be importuned to resign the governorship ot the Yukon, a position worth $12,000 per annum, and rejoin his Liberal comrades in the political battle in this province, is ample evidence of the straits in winch the Liberals know themselves to be. " And "Wullie," seasoned campaigner as he is, is sharp enough to exact all that he possibly, can ns the piice of his assistance. He knows full well that it is a forlorn hope, and there- lore the price, in ihe doubtful, event of success, must be the greater. From Ottawa ..also comes r. di-pateh t'lat the Biitish Columbia Liberal 1 nembers jire Hilling westward even ,iow to lend a hand, not excepting cur own Duncan Ross.

In fact, it is more certain than ever that the Libeials have less chance of winning this time than they had tour years ago. " - ruiNOD Talkbd of at HOMlt AND HL8BWHKHB Joseph L. Mar.tin, president ot the Phoenix General Hospital, is in receipt of a letter and check that were both much appreciated. They were from W. H. Robinson, manager of the Eastern Townships Bank at Granby, Que., and the enclosure of $50 was a pessonal, unsolicited contribution from Mr. Robinson to the hospital, being an appreciation on his part of the good work that he knows is being done in that institution year in and year out. Both Mr. Martin and V. M. Sherbino, ihe secretary, wish to thank Mr Robinson through the Pioneer for hie liberal donation towards financiering an institution that is none too easv to finance at the best. Incidentally, it mijjh. b" mentioned t'nat aii)<Mie who Inppens to read these lines, and feels like inclined, will also be welcomed as one of tbe "editors of the overdraft column" of the hospital. Speaking of Mr. Robinson, brings to mind the fact that the gentleman has visited Phoenix, having purchased Granby shares years ago, and always having the utmost faith in the ultimate success of the company. This is shown by the fact that, when a few years ago, most of the eastern Canadian shareholders sold their stock to some New Yorkers al $3 and $4 per share, Mr. Robinson steadfastly refused to part with his belongings, but resolved to stay with the game. As a result, Mr. Robinson could dispose of his Granby shares now ,for three or four times the sum that his colleagues who did so, received���and besides that has received four three per cent dividends on-them within the last year. It matters little how, much stock Mr. Robinson, holds��-=he has shown, his faith in one of the most. important mining propositions in Canada, and is being icwardedtherefor; consequently, it is pleasant to know, that he is in the class that, were, only too glad to be counted as one of the firstand permanent backers-of-the-Granby mines.

Mr. Holman's first connection with the Mother Lode dates back ten years next month, and that he has made a sue cess of his work is evidenced by the fact that he has worked his -way up from handling a muck stick and a drill to the most important post immediate* ly connected with, this large property, He leaves the Mother Lode .and the Boundary entirely of his own volition, for the simple reason that his health demanded it, and the company man. agement accepted his resignation with much regret. It is hardly needful to say that Mr. Holman had been con templating this step a number of months, but only postponed it at the urgent request of Mr. Keffer, the company's engineer.

One hundred years ago, according to the Copper Handbook, the mines of the globe produced an average of about ten thousand long tons of copper yearly���rless than the ' present yearly output of either nickel or aluminum���while in 1906 production is at the rate of 15,000 long tons per week, and there is much talk of a copper famine���to which color is given by the present price of metal, which is higher than for twenty-five years past. According to the Copper Handbook, just issued by Horace J. Stephens, of Houghton, Michigan, in 1905 tbere were fifteen individual companies, each of which produced more copper than all the mjmss of tbe globe combined produced in 1905, and two mines, each of which made as much of the metal last year as all of the mines of the world made during the first five years of the Nineteenth Century, the two mines in question being the Calumet ,& Hecla, of Michigan, and the Anaconda of Montana, 9^t>*zj> ��^m<�� (>(<a fL^e<j 00 Ofthe fifteen mines of the globe that made twenty five million or more pounds each of refined copper in 19P5, ten are in the United States, while there are one each in Mexico, Spain, Germany, and Japan, and one, the American Smelting & Refining Co,, generally known as the Smelter tiust, that-dra\vs its copper ores from numerous small mines in Mexico, Canada and the United States. In 1905 there were 183 properties credited with a production of one million or more pounds of fine copper each.

What We Claim for Ferrol ��� M FERROL is an Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, and if it were nothing more it would take front rank because of the quality and quantity of the oil used and the scientific method of preparation. But FERROL. has special claims which take it out of the ordinary class of Emulsion altogether. For instance: FERROL combines Iron and Phosphorus with the oil, and no other emulsion contains these ingredients, although it is well known that they should always be administered together, as each is the complement ot the other. FERROL is so scientifically prepared that the first processes cf digestion are actually performed in the process of manufacture, and the emulsion is ready for instant absorption into the blood. This is of the utmost importance to persons with delicate stomachs.

Unless unforseen. obstacles arise, the Dominion management expect to, be producing copper by next February, and thence forward at. ihe rate of at least 8,000,000 pounds a year, at.a cost not exceeding 8 cents per pound., On an 18-cent copper market this production would give 'the company, n:t earnings of $800,000, or $1.60 per share on its slock; on 22-cent' copper the net earnings would be further in-i creased by $320,000 to $1,120,000,: or 22 per cent ofthe company's capital stock, which is $5,000,000. la Splendid Financial Condition. The Dominion company is in splendid financial condition, with a cash surplus in its treasury of over $750,- 000. A considerable portion of this surpluses to be devoted to acquiring new properties of proven value, and to increase the company's smelting capacity to 3,000 tons per day. At a recent meeting of the directors of the company it was voted to increase the smelting capacity as above mentioned and plans, are now being laid to accomplish this result within the next 18 months. " Wbsn tbe present additions are completed ami running, development work will be pushed at thc various pioperties of the company in i>r<ier to conform with these plans of further expansion. With a smelting capacity to handle 3,000 tons of ore daily the Dominion Copper company would be in a position to produce 25,000,000 pounds of copper per annum. On 18-cent copper this production would give the company net earnings of $2,500,000 or 50 per cent on the par value of tbe stock���$5 per share. .,. If these plans can be carried through to realization, the stock should be worth eventually from $35 to $40 per share. Compared to Oranbv. An interest in the company says: "The capital stock of the Dominion company is selling in the stock market for about $4,000,000, or considerablt less than 1-4 of the present markey value of the Granby company's stock, which is selling in the market for about $iS,ooo,ooo. We will be in a position shortly to produce at least one-third the amount of copper that the Granby company is now turning out, and as our cost of producing copper will be brought down to approximate the Granby's cost, Dominion stock should sell for at . least one-third the market value of the Granby capital stock, or from $12 to $15 per share. Our company has only 500,000 shares while Granby has 1,350,000 shares. "We have competent men in charge of the smelting plant and the mines, and we are not having any fuel supply or labor difficulties. "A number of the men have become stockholders in the company and as a result are taking more than ordinary interest in their work. "With our splendid financial conditions, we are in a position to continue our policy of expansion, pay dividends, add to our surplus from earnings and to become one of the important pro ducers of the British Columbia district." Statement by M. M, Johnson. "Importantdevelopmentshave taken place at the Sunset group, which includes fhe Sunset, C. O. D,, Florence Fraction, and Crown Silver claims. The ores from this group run heavy in iron and have been used only as a flux, but during the past 60 days the copper contents in these ores have increased and they are now running between V.i4''ati'd 1.25 per cent copper/ There are good indications; that these ores will sh6w increased copper values at depth.

Johnson, superintendent of the Dominion copper mines, says: "We have been subjected to some delay in getting all thc parts of the new furnace on the ground, but it is now nearly completed. The stack is up and it will be blown in before February i. "This new furnace will give us an additional capacity of from 700 to 900 tons per day, or a total capacity, with the furnaces now running, of from 1,300 to 1,500 tons daily. "The new furnaces will be mechanically fed, eliminating hand labor almost entirely. As soon as practicable, the mechanical feed will be applied to the furnaces now in use also. "At the mines the new compressor is installed and will be put into operation in a very short time. "The Rawhide mine is looking well. We have pushed development work on this property during the past few months and the surface work is very satisfactory. We are getting a splendid tonnage of ore there, ��\nd the four tunnels are opened up all in solid ore. We expect to take about 400 tons a day from the Rawhide when the new furnace is blown in. '"We are getting the most of our ores at present from the Brooklyn. The Idaho and Stemwinder claims are being rapidly developed. We are taking about 50 tons a day from the Idaho, and the shipments from this property will be gradually increased. Nominations for Coming Provincial Election for 1907.

Crushed by His Enilne. Monday night an ore train ran away on the Rossland hill, at the end of lour miles and a half, jumping the track at the Crown Point switchback and killing the engineer, Alfred Wade. The other train employees jumped to safety. Wade was well known in the Boundary, having run over here more or less. He was 28 years of age and unmarried. The runaway was caused by the brakes failing to work at the critical time.. In the train ,-were eleven ore cars, and as the C.P.R. is now so short of ore dumps that every shipping mine in ���his section is after the officials seven days in the week, the destruction of this train does not help matters in that direction in the least. Two years and a half ago the C.P.R had a runaway on the Phoenix hill that cost about $50,000, 25 cans of Granby ore being scattered over the landscape and a valuable Shay engine being reduced practically to serap iron.�� No'lives were lost, however, the train crew finding soft spots to jump before the train ga>ned too much momentum. The exact cause ot that wreck was never ascertained, though air brake experts from Pittsburg were brought here to investigate. This week's wreck probably did not cost more than half that of the first-mentioned. Burton's and Bass' Ale on Inquire of the Hotel Brooklyn.

This week Collector Delahay received telegraphic orders to move into the new building, put up for that purpose: The rent, as arranged in ad- \ance, before the building was begun, is to be $15 per month.: Now, Mr. Delahay learns, that the department of customs at Ottawa, not duly: expects the $ 1 s to cover rent, but: light, heat and a few other things of various kinds and styles. In short, the department: is conducted on the cheapest of the cheap plans���bar none. As evidence of this; take the present quarters lri the Great Northern depot. The der partment, does not even provide a stove and fuel there;'nor furniture for ordinary use. The officials evidently think this is a backwoods town jn, Ontario or Quebec. AZ-^A~^-r~-:'':-~': Z But when it comes to returns, things are different. .The Phoenix office does very well, when everything is considered, especially the amount that the Customs department has invested in office furniture and fittings. In the 21 months that the office has been established in Phoenix there has .been collected in duties more than $30,006, or over $i,5oo"per month., ��� Mr. Delahay. does not fancy either paying for light, fuel ,or-anyth'ngelse out of none too large salary, to say nothing of office, furniture for th'e.'riew office, and as the weather is none too warm, he declines to move to the new office till the things needed are supplied. It was a five years' fight to get the office established, the department furnishing figures to prove that it would not pay. . Yet it has paid many thousand per cent. ^It looks like another fight to get even decent treatment regarding the heating, lighting and furnishing of the office. of the McBride administration, which has had the courage to tell, the people, we must insist upon raising the necessary revenue to carry on the great public works o( this new country. "As a result, confidence has been restored in all branches of, business.

"In 1900 British Columbia was on the verge of bankruptcy. Capital to promote the interests^of the people and to develop the country was not availf able.
