[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.

Then the members of the. Phoenix team claimed that, they were not being fairly treated and went off the ice, the contest not being finished. Afterwards the members of the two teams got together, and arranged things amicably once more, and will probably play another'game'in the near future, with a Grand Forks man, if possible, as the referee. After each of the above games the visitors \veie entertained at supper. Tonight there wijl be a match between Grand Forks and Phoenix on the Phoenix rink. The visitors have chartered a special train, and expect to bring up about So people with them to witness the contest. It is said that had the Greenwood rink been provided with nets, as is the Phoenix rink, there could have been no question as to the disputed points. .ff'i f\ 1%1 Our HARDWARE stock is replete with goods from the best markets of the world.

Elected at the Annual Meeting Hefd Last ��att|r(Jay. The annual general meeting of the Phoenix General Hospital was held at the, hospital last Saturday morning, with W. B. Cochrane in the chair and Dr. R. B. Voucher as secretary. The reports of the secretary-treasurer and auditor were read and approved, and a vote of thanks given to the directors and nursing staff for the excellent work done during the year ju^t past. The following directors were elected for the ensuing years A. C. Flumer- felt, A.J. McMillan, W. J. Porter, H. N. Galer, W. Y. Williams, W.J. Astley, J.B. Macaulay, J. L. Martin and James Punch.

One of the compartments has been finished and In use lor a week or two.' This week the Snowshoe mine made the largest shipment of ore in any single week in its history, sending out 1,440 tons to the smelters. The last record was 1,400 tons in oje week in December. . - '���' Last Saturday the, Granby smelter blew in two furnace*,* after a ^short shut-down on account of the fire .in the power and blower house. But for the shortage of coke all four, furnaces would be running. , > The first car of quartz oh to be shipped from the Non Such claim, one of the Republic group, situated, "ear Uoundaiy Falls, since R-" C. Longley commeuced work, reached the Greenwood smelter Moridny, '} .' Eight men are working .yi the sur- face quarry on the Seattle claim, on the North Folk of Kettle river, which is being worked by the Trail smelter, under an option. The ore is hauled in sleighs ten miles to the railway, and is taken to the Trail reduction works. Last Saturday was the monthly.payday at the Gianby. .mines, "and while the amount distributed was somewhat larger than for the previoiis month, it was not tip to the figures of last spring when everything was running full blast. An early improvement' is: looked for still, however. As soon as th.e wire arrives to connect the air compressor,with the Cascade sub-station in Phoenix, the new ore crusher, which has heen ready at the Knob Hill mine for soire months, will be placed in commission. All connections and adjustments, with the above exception, have been completed. Shortage ol coal, as well as coke, required the Mother Lode smelter to bank the fires of its one furnace one day last week. None of. the three Boundary smeltersiliav.e been t\ble to accumulate a. su/plus, of poke since the Ferriie djsaqter last spring. In fact, it has been and still is a hand-to-mouth matter, so far as coke is concerned. A large and apparently rich ore body is now showing on the properties owned by T. J. Evans, adjoining the IJ. C. properties at Eholt. Mr. Evans has been in this country since the spring of 1895, and duiing that period h.-.e, besides discovering tr^e present B, C. properly, located nu less than 17 claims, all lying in tbe Grand Forks division of the Yale district. Work from the otitsid,e 0.11 the No. 3. tunnel of the Granby mines has been suspended after driving about 150 feet. A force of men are, however, drifting from the 300 foot level of the Old Ironsides mine to complete the tunnel. Work had to be suspended from the outside because of lack of facilities as yet for shipping the ore from the tunnel portal, this drift being nearly all in ore of a shipping grade. The Montreal &; Boston Copper Co. having decided. tQ put In a converter at its Sunset smelter at Boundary Falls, is reported to have ordered the necessary plant, but it will be late in the year before it will be installed. This company appears lo be steadily preparing for operations on a much larger scale. Its second furnace will be run- ning as soon as possible alter, the Con- nersville blower, ordered some time ago, has been received and put in place. A deal hac recently been made here by the owners of the Blue Jay property, in Skylark camp, lor a working bond and lease on the claim, the cash consideration being $10,000' for the interest, distributed over some 15 months in time. The Blue Jay is one of the best known claims in Skylark camp, having been located in May, 1895, by Michael Kane, a resident of Phoenix, who still has an inteiest in the pioperty. It is located about a mile and a half from this city, on the same ridge with the Old Ironsides ahd Knob Hill mines. The present owners of the Blue Jay areM. Kane, Evan. Parry, J. A. Porter and J. E. Edwards, the latter owning a thiee-sixteenth interest. Mr. Edwards has taken the lease and bond from his partners for the remaining thii teen-sixteenths and has already started work on the claim with a force of men. According to the terms of the lease, work on the Blue Jay must be continuous. The Blue Jay now has a shaft 115 feet in depth which was sunk on the ledge, and another sha.lt some 40 feet in depth. Mr. Edwards has started a tunnel to tap the main shaft at a depth of 75 feet, and this tunnel is now driven in the mountain some 60 feet, the ledge being expected to be reached in some 40 feet moie of woik. Assays taken as an average fromoie from'the Blue Jay have given $25 in gold and silver, and picked specimens have resulted much higher. This is now the only claiiiy being worked in Skylark cam.p, and Mr. Edwards expects to be able .to -have a splendid showing on the Blue Jay befoie spring.

The man who advertises properly will have certain results dur ing the year from that work. Sometimes advertising should be planned more for the standing ol the store than for the immediate results that are to come from the publicity. The profit on goods'is getting smaller and more merchandise mun he sold to keep things moving.

However, 1902 passed into history without the prophesied advance taking place, the average figure fluctuating between ioj�� and 11 $ cent* per ' pound. Since the first of this year, there has been a perceptible improvement, and the outlook is brighter lor , the copper market. With the increasing demand for the commodity and the alleged shortage of stocks on hand, it appears as though the' 14 cent price might be reached by spring. Such a ' price would. allow a fair margin of profit in the Boundary, where now the profit must be, comparitively speaking, small. ���The optimists predict a great future (or copper.

The New Tyee smelter, at Ladysmith, has sent out its fi.st shipment of copper matte to the'eastein'refinery. The Arlington and the Enterprise were'the chief Slocan/shippersjlast year.

It is said that when the -new contracts aie made by the Slocan lead miners with the smelter people, a reduction of $5 in thefieight and treatment rate will be made.

Robeits, director of the United States mint, has issued his pie- liminary estimate of the production ol gold and silver in the United States during the calendar year, 1902. The total production of gold was $80,853, 070, an increase for the year ol $2,186,370. The production of silvei amounted to $31,040,025, a net increase of $3,352,084. Following is the estimated production of states. Down at the coast the newspapers are speculating on the recent alleged utterances of James J. Hill, to the effect that he did not intend to build his line through to the coast on the V., V. and E. charter, but would tap the Boundary and Similkameen. As the coast business men have been so apathetic in years past about direct Coast-Kootenay connections, they will not receive much sympathy from the interior. What is~needed here is direct connection with a competing rail- t way, and it is now assured. Had the coast people quit chasing rainbows some years since, they would be better off today. However, between the Grand Trunk, the Canada Northern, Mackenzie & Mann and Mr. Hill, to say nothing of a land giving government, they may see the fiuition of their belated hopes. Dominion Redistribution. The Minister of Justice has prepared a memorandum in reference to the coming redistribution ol seats in the House of Commons, based upon the census of 1900. As a result ot this, Ontario will lose six members, Nova Scotia two, New Biunswick one, Prince Edward Island one. The Territories will gain two, Manitoba three, and British Columbia one. The next parliament, therefote, will have 210 members, as compared with 214 in the present House (including the Yukon.) The representation in the House will then be as follows: Present. As Proposed.

It most certainly should be granted, but we have yet to note "where the railway and smelter interests stand. If the proposed relief works against them, directly or- inditectly,' they are not likely to stand idly looking on. They are not constituted that way. Never theless, the lead miners shsuld have " relief and have it at once. What is the use, so far as we are concered, at least, of producing so much coke in British Columbia, if our own smelters cannot secure all they need ? There is a screw loose somewhere when the coal company asserts it is producing an Ample quantity and the railway company claims it is bring- - Ing it forward with all possible expedi lion. How would it work to get the coal, railway and smelter officials together once? The solution would be found tlien,, and furnaces growing cold would be a thing of the past���at least, in the Boundary district. As expected, the municipal election tfhts week in Phoenix was without contest, Mayor Rumberger and four of the 590: aldermen, as well as two new tones, being elected by acclamation. In Grand Forks and Greenwood there jvas a contest for the mayor's chair, Ontario 92 Quebec 65 Nova Suotia 20 New Brunswick 14 P.

The comming session will be one of the most important since cmfedeiation, and will probably last ior six months or over. 1 Among the important questions to be considered tre: The latin", the last Atlantic service, the redistribution bill, the report of the Colonial Conference delegates, Hie Railway's Commission bill,-'the 1'eli.plione bill, trie Cattle Guards bill, ihe Grand Tiunk Pacific bill, the granting of railway subsidies for the yeais 1901-2 and 1002-3, and tht proposal to further extend the Intercolonial. Kioto this partial synopsis ii can be seen that Canada's legislators have a busy session before ihem. Of course, subsciibeis to boundary papeis could not be pl-iced in the same rategory-as the one refeired to in the following tale; A subscriber about seven years in .11 rears to a Sniilhvjllc paper was d)- ing. The editor diopped in to see him. ' How do-you feel?" said .'the pencil pusher. "All looks bright'before me," gasped the subscriber. "I thought so," responded ihe editor.

A Philadelphia paper declares that Archbishop Ryan was recently about ��� to take a train for Baltimore at the Broad Street Station, wfcen a young man accosted him. saying:' "Your face Is familiar, where In hell have I seen your' "I really don't know,", replied the archbishop, M��ndly; "what part of hell do you come from?" Many years ago, -when Senator In- tralU was Sn the Senate, oleomargarine waa a bone of contention. The debate led Ingalla to utter one 0* those epigrammatic sentences which made him famous. "I have never, to my knowledge, tasted oleomargarine," said In- B*alls, "but I have stood In the presence of genuine butter ���with awe for Its itrengtb and reverence for Its antiquity." A lady carrying on mission work In the slums was teaching a little colored Sin to spell. She used a pictorial primer, and over each word was its accompanying picture. Poily glibly ���peUed "o-x, ox," and "b-o-x, box," etc. But the teacher thought that she was making,"right rapid progress," So she put her hand over the picture, and said, "Polly, what does 'o-x' spell?" Ox," answered Polly, nimbly. "How do you know that It spells 'ox,' Polly?" Seed his tall," replied the apt Polly. A very popular Oxford -Jean,* crossing the quadrangle of Ohrtsft College one . aay, was met by a number,of under- - graduates who passed him without' capping." The reverend gentleman . relt annoyed. "Do you know who I ��� am?" he asked. "No, sir.". "Then how.- long have you been at ihe-~cdTteger'~" Eight days, sir." "Indeed!" replied the dean, sarcastically. "Well, ' in that oaaa, you stand excused. I know that puppies do not open their eyes until the ninth day." And then he resumed his walk. While he was In England, Mark Twain says his head was once taxed as gaa works. He wrote Queen Victoria a friendly letter of protest, saying: "I don't know you. but I've met your son. He was at the bead of a procession' in ��� the Strand, and I was on a 'bus." Years afterward he met the Prince of Wales, ��� now King Edward VII.,' at Homberg. : They had a long walk and talk togeth- . er. When bidding hfm good-by, the Prince said: "I am glad to have met you again." This remark troubled Twain, who feared that be had been mistaken for. someone else. He com- ��� munlcated this suspicion to the Prince," who replied: "Why, don't you remember when you met me In ��he Strand and I waa at the head of a procession, and you were on a 'bus?" Slason Thompson says that the late- Eugene Field waa fond of relating the following story of James Whitcomb Klley: "To beguile the tedlousness of the return voyage from Europe, it was proposed to give a concert In the sa-' loon of the ship���an entertainment to which all capable ot amusing their fellow-voyagers should contribute. Mr. Kiley was asked -to recite some of his original poems, and, of course, he cheerfully agreed to do so. Among the number present at this mid-ocean entertainment, over iwhlch the Rev. Myron Reed presided, were two Scotchmen, very -worthy gentlemen, en route from the land o' oakes to the land of biscuits, upon a tour of investigation. These twain shared the enthusiasm with which the auditors applauded Mr. Riley's charming" recitations.', iThey marveled that so versatile a genius could bave lived in a land reputed for uncouthhess and savagery. "Is.it no wonderfu', Donal," remarked one of these Scots, "that a tradesman suld'be sic a bonnle poet?" "And is he indeed a tradesman?" asked the one.

WHAT lends a peculiar Interest to a . visit to such a factory, writes a contributor to "Pearson's Magazine," Is the curious suggestion *>f -humor which, In one's conversation'with th�� workmen and employees, conies to relieve the deep sense of awe and re^ verence which at all times weighs upon one. I remember that, having contemplated, not without a painful feeling in my breast, the mos^ lamenta;ble figure of an old man In monk's attire, whose hands were pierced, whose side was pierced, and from whose furrowed brow large drops of blood were trickling down, I asked a passing workman to tell me whom the statue represented. And he called to a fellow-workman: "Who Is that old gent.up there?" It was St. Francis d'Assist. The painful feeling was for a while dispelled. This was but a figure after all, an article of trade. And so also, when one hears the clerks calling through the telephones: "When is t.-at St. Maurice coming down?" "Five St. Anthonys, with their pigs, wanted at once." And so on. There Is not a vestige of irreverence in these remarks, but, as I say, they are not without a most welcome suggestion of humor. ���.���.���;.; For, Indeed, the terrible realism of many of these statues must Impress even tho most Indifferent. I could not refrain from asking the maker of saints why he allowed his artists to carry the horrible to such extremes. Here was a St. Jean de Dleu succoring a leper, on whose body the modeller had not omitted one of the horrid signs of that most foul of maladies. Here was a writhing St. Sebastian streaming with blood. Here a chained woman In the flames of purgatory extended her anguished hands. "We export very largely to South America," said Monsieur Pacheu, "and It Is necessary that, to Impress the imaginations of the people there���who are Indifferent, as a rule, to suffering���we should strike hard. t Yet In none of our figures is truth surpassed. That leper is studied from life. Those horrid bruises were copied from a corpse." Where They Flourish.
