[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.

Martin Returns Coeur d'Alenes. From Joseph L. Martin, president of thu Carney Copper Co., returned this week from a trip of inspection to the Coeur d'Alene country, in Idaho, where he has valuable interests in a mining way. While absent he visited the property of the Carney Copper Co., near Mullin, and another contract for 250 feet of tunneling was let, this time to W. C. Hower, J. O. Church, both formerly of Phoenix, and their associates. Manager Greenough, of the Carney, is one of the most enthusiastic of the shareholders of the property, which consists of a number of likely copper claims in a group, and he insists that the Carney has today a much better showing than the Snowstorm, in which he has a large interest, had at the same stage of development. As is well known now, the Snowstorm is paying dividends at the rate of three per cent monthly regularly, with the likelihood of its being increased to five per cent each thirty days in a short time. As one indisputable evidence of the confidence had in the Carney group in the Coeur d'Alenes, Mr. Greenough points out that the men who are working in the property have asked for the privilege of taking part of their pay in shares of the company at the market price. Mr. Martin says that it is the in tendon to begin making shipments of ore from the Carney at the earliest possible date. He is satisfied that the Carney is today one of the best things in the Coeur d'Alene district, for the amount of work that has been done in development.

Joe Taylor made his home in Wellington camp, a couple of miles west of Phoenix, where he was interested in a number of promising crown granted mineral claims. He had lived there practically all alone for several years, being frequently in town, however. He leaves two brothers in Missouri, one of whom is expected to come out here and look after the estate. Scandinavians Elect Officer*. Jack Munroe at Co-slt. An exchange has the following about Jack Munroe: "Jack Munroe, the erstwhile exponent of jabs and counter- jabs in the prize ting, is in Haileybury, Ont., where it is said he is engaged in furthering the good of the mining cause." Munroe will be remembered by residents of Phoenix of a few years ago, when he was employed at the Granby mines and gave the city police trouble when he had imbibed too much of the Stuff thai-cheers and. also inebriates. Later he'entered the fistic arena, and challenged some of the big ones, lasting pretty quick in the halls of pugilistic fame. Important Band Meetlnf. Phoenix, July 4.���A meeting will be held to reorganize the band on a business basis, next Monday, July 8th, at 7.30 o'clock, at the band room in the city hall.

SNOWSHOE IS A BUSY SPOT Shipping 700 Tons of Ore Daily. And Preparing For Greater Increase. Still In common with all the other copper producers in the Boundary, the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada, Limited Liability, is making every preparation to ship the ore of "the Snowshoe mine on an increasingly extensive scale. In fact, the mine, under Supt. Chas. Biesel and Foreman Bob Fraser, is doing pretty well right now, the average for the last week being over 700 tons daily. As fast as possible, the mine is being operated by electricity, the other half of the big air compressot having been ordered some months since and being now due. The trolley in the tunnel level is doing the best of work, all of the ore being shipped just now coming out of that opening. Extensive surface work is also going on at the Snowshoe mine, and raises have been made from the tunnel level below, the ore being thus dropped readily and handled entirely by gravity and the trolley. The overburden or waste is being removed where this is necessary and an immense available tonnage is being thus added to the property. Besides this, the old glory holes, worked two or three years ago under the A. J. McMillan management, will be placed in use again before long, thus giving another outlet, as this ore can be shipped from the original ore bunkers of the property. In every direction at the Snowshoe there is the most intense activity, and upwards of 100 men employed are a busy lot indeed, giving evidence that the output from this mine will be materially increased at-an early date. 1 he ore now goes entirely to the B. C. Copper Co.'s Greenwood smelter, under contract. Ob-ervln_ Ibe Holiday.. There was not much enthusiam about observing the holidays this week. Monday being Dominion Day, the public offices and stores were closed as usual on such days, but the mines and smelters worked as usual���probably because the employees had had all the vacation they desired during May, when most of them were idle. Grand Forks had a celebration, with some races and a few sports, and the base ball team and a few others went down. The base ball boys played with Dan ville, and were beaten. A number also took in the Nelson celebration, which is reported to have been one of the best of the seventeen held in that city. Thursday was Fourth of July, and the neighboring towns of Oroville and Republic, Wash., both had big times, getting a few from the Boundary. Boundary Mining Notes There are still positions in the various mines of the Boundary for good machine men. In the Little Bertha shaft a depth of rso feet has been obtained, with a four-foot ore showing. Snowshoe's biggest week for shipments is that just past, when the total exceeded 5,010 tons of ore. Diamond drilling was resumed at the Snowshoe mine last Monday by Knight & Stone of Spokane f .A(orcepfismen isnow employed at the * CSn_K30^cl_ir.n^"Tri.n_i���and" this is likely to be increased shortly. Ore is being taken out from directly beneath the C. P. R. track at the Snow- shoe mine, necessitating timbering for safety. A number of options have been given recently on mineral claims in this camp, the details regarding which are expected to be ripe in a short time. This week's Boundary smelting record exceeds last week's and makes a new high water mark for the three reduction works���38,090 tons. Dominion Copper Co.'s smelter has , a new record this week, 5,845 tons, and this though one furnace is down to permit rearrangement of a settler. Granby had eight furnaces in blast one day this week, but for lack of ore, due to the railways' inability to handle it, the eighth had to be blown out again. N. Angngnon, foreman at tbe Providence mine, has resigned to accept a similar position at the British Columbia Copper Co.'s B. C. mine in Summit camp. Last Saturday, the Granby Co. paid its seventh dividend, amounting to $405,000, being at the rate of three per cent quaitcrly on the issued capital of 135,000 $100 shares. This makes a total of $2,563,630 paid in dividends by the Granby Consolidated to date. This week the B. C. Copper Co. smelter treated 13,226 tons of ore as follows: Custom, 4,095 tons: Mother Lode, 5,410 tons; Napoleon, 330 tons: Oro Denoro, 3,391 tons. The June- record for this smelter, 44,584 ton;:, is a new one, but Tuly promises to show around 60,000 tons treated. Last Tuesday, July 2d, was the date of the second shareholders' meeting of the Phoenix Amalgamated at Sher- brooke, Que., to ratify the transfer of the property to a strong concern. No word has been received yet as to the results, but the Pioneer predicts that operations will be started on the properties within two weeks. Last Thursday the new No. 3 ore- crusner, located at the Granby's Victoria shaft headworks, was turned over for the first time. It is of the giant type, taking a piece of ore 36x42 inches, two of which are now in use by the Granby, and another of which has been ordered for the same company's Gold Drop outlet. The Victoria crusher is operated by two 75 h p. electric motors. Diamond drilling has been discontinued for the present at the Granby mines, but will be resumed before long. Meantime Boyles Bros, will do some drilling at the Holden mine, Lake Chelan, Wash., on which J. 1". Graves and associates have an option. It is understood to be a large copper proposition, but at present inaccessible as far as transportation is concerned. Last Saturday morning Joe Taylor, the veteran prospector of the Boundary, passed away at the Phoenix General Hospital, after being there a couple of weeks, suffering at first from paralysis and later from pneumonia complications. His age, 66 years, made it a foregone conclusion that he would never leave the hospital alive. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Presbyterian church, Rev. Samuel Lundie officiating, the burial taking place at the Phoenix city cemetery. A large number turned out to pay the last respects to Taylor, many old timers being Irere to attend. The pill bearers were P. J. Dermody, Tom Walsh, W. J. Nelson, John Myers, Adolph Sercu, and Tom Kirk, and a a large number of Phoenicians were also present. Joseph Taylor was born in central Missouri about the year i83r, and went all through the Civil War in the rebel army, being in the escort of General Price, and never being seriously wounded. After the war Taylor gradually drifted west, being along the line of the Union Pacific when it was being constructed. ��� In the early 58os he reached the Wood river mining district in Idaho, when the gold excitement was on, and did the same thing. Later he came to the Colville country in Washington and was one of the lo- caters of the Bonanza mine at Boss- burg, a property that was then thought to be a bonanza indeed. In July, 1891, he and G. W. Rurnberger, a life long friend, came into the Boundary, at a time when there was not even a trail in the country, let ^lone.a_wagon road or, railway., Joe was the discoverer of the* Brooklyn mine in this camp, now owned by the Dominion Copper Co., from which more than 150,000 tons of ore have been shipped. When this and other claims were sold to the McKenzie- Mann syndicate, Joe realized perhaps $20,000 from the sale, as his share. j At the meeting held June 23d, the Scandinavian Brothers elected new officers, as follows: President, Andrew O.Johnson; vice-president, Carl Mel- mer; secretary, Emil Carlson (re-elected); assistant secretary, Frank Peter- , son; treasurer, Frank Lundemo (reelected); marshal 1, Oscar Fernstrom; chaplain, Frank Anderson; guard,'Olle Nordin; trustee, Gus Johnson. The above officers will be installed at the next meeting of the organization, to de held on Wednesday' next. It is the intention of the Scandinavian Brothers to affiliate with the Scandinavian Aid and Fellowship Society, the head office of which is located at Ironwood, Michigan. Steps are now being taken with that object in view. Mclver-Jobnson W.ddln_. John Mclver and Miss Olga Johnson were married last Saturday afternoon in the parlors of the Hotel Brooklyn, the groom being supported by John Mclnnis, M.L.A., and the bride by Miss Christina McDonald. The only witnesses were James Marshall and wife, the happy couple leaving that day for a short -honeymoon, which was spent at Nelson. They returned this week and have gone to housekeeping on lower Dominion auenue. Mr, Mclver is employed by the Dominion Copper Co. Bolldl__ A (food Bridie. John A.

Mr. McMaster states that E; Spraggett, the government road superintendent for Grand Forks riding, who is spending $2,000 on the extension of the Franklin camp road to Gloucester camp, will'be done in anotherweek^or two, the new extension being of great benefit to those interested in Gloucester.

The metal selling agencies, however, point to the fact that copper production is not keeping up with consump tion, and, therefore there can be no great cut in the prices of the red metal for ihe present. As there was no considerabe demand for the metal for immediate use, the market has been sluggish. . Now, however, some of the big consumers must soon come into the market and get copper for whatever it will cost, to fill contacts they have on hand, and it will be known before long Grand Forks is attaining distinction as the automobile centre of the Boundary, there being no less than four of these chug-chugs in that burg.

In other words, double the dividends could have been paid that were actually distributed. Though copper may sag, there is reason to think that it will continue at a satisfactory price for some time tp.come. ��� Early day residents of Phoenix will remember J. F. Hemenwuy, who was in charge of the earliest operations at what are now called the Granby mines. Mr. Hemenway has fora year or two been connected with a prominent bank at Portland, Oregon, and his many friends will be pleased to hear that he has been promoted to be cashier of the First Bank of Joseph, at Joseph, Oregon. Mr. Hemenway came to Phoenix when i^ was like the forest primeval, along about 1897. Penticton is putting on airs. It has a baseball club.

About 2,000 Japs are now.en route from Honolulu to British Columbia. Physicians;in Nelson are; talcing steps for the formation of an interior medical association. Vancouver's,bank clearings in. June were fifty per cent more than the same month in 1906. Ralph Smith, M.P., may be made superintendent" of Indian affairs in British Columbia. A new market for British Columbia fruit has been found, New Zealand being anxious to get some of it. Vancouver lawyers are complaining of the congestion of legal business and want another judge appointed. It has been announced that the Eastern Township Bank will establish a branch at Cranbrook in the near future. Good progress is being made on the mill at the Blue Bell mine on Kootenay lake, which will shortly be finished. TEAS the teapot results will be unequalled. BLACK GREEN MIXED At Your Grocer's.

While the stock market has suffered a relapse and much of the water has been squeezed out of many stocks and bonds, including railway, mining and and industrial securities, the largest concerns report a continuous increase of business, and are pretty well pleased at the outlook, as well they may. be. The universal prosperty has been discounted in the share marjeet in the advanced price, of securities, following which they dropped to a lower level. While there is a tendency in financial centers to curtail loans to some extent, there is little reason to think that we have yet reached the turn of the financial road, but that the present prosperous conditions will prevail for some time to ��� come. At the same time it is well for those interested to set their houses in order, for sooner or later there will be a re cession that will be marked, even if prosperous conditions do continue for a year or two, more or less, before the real shrinkage begins.

For a month or so past comparatively little copper has been sold to the large consumers, ihey having placed orders earlier in the year for their needs up to midsummer. With the general shrinkage in securities of all kinds that has been prevalent since March, when the New York stock market went to pieces, there has If there are two other places ... Canada or the U.

Why a man like Orchard, who claims to have accepted pay from the W.

While absent Mr. Deane made the most of his time, going not only to his old home in Sussex, but also to other parts of the Tight Little Isle. He returns to Phoenix better satisfied than ever that British Columbia is the place to live, and he would, not make his home again on the other side of ihe water for any consideration. Mr. Deane travelled both ways across the ocean via New York, going by the White Star line and returning by the Cnnard line. On the trip back there were about 4,000 people on the steamer, 3,000 of whom were in the steerage, and to get accommodations one must speak one or two months ahead. Rut for that fact, Mr. Deane would have taken one of the new C. P. R. Atlantic liners. While on the other side, Mr. Deane went to the great Derby races, where he says it was estimated that about i,ooo,o_o people were present. He iilso visited Buckingham Palace and Windsor casilc, and among oiliei niiltililt'S ihM Ik* saw were Kim; Ed- x.'ird nnd I.ily l.an^liy. Speaking ol travelling, Mr. Deane s;i\s that the l.njjlish railwii).s are the thing for speed. From London lo Liverpool is 204 mill's and the train covered the distance at better than a mile a minute, and does it regularly. The accommodaiions are generally very good on ihe railways. Speaking of conditions in England, Mr. Deane .aid that it is growing harder, and harder eacli year for a man with any ambition to get ahead in that country. Wages are very low, and the great concerns are steadily crushing out the smaller ones, so that it does not surprise him to see the thousands that are coming to this side of the water, so much so that the capacity of the steamship companies is constantly taxed to the utmost. Compared to the eastern part of Canada or the United States, Mr. Deane says the west is far ahead in every way, according to his idea. The heat when he was in New York city was terrific, there being three deaths from it that day. with dozens of prostrations. He was glad to get back to the Boundary, in short, bringing his sister and her husband with him from the old country. MEETING OF SNOWSHOE CO. Held in London June 13. on Ore Runs .08 oz. Gold, .3 oz. Silver, 1.4% Copper. The report of the Snowshoe Gold and Copper Mines, Ltd., for the year ended 30th September, 1906, to be presented at the meeting on 13th inst., states that during the greater part of the year the Snowshoe mine remained closed down, pending the completion of satisfactory arrangements for dealing with the property, and consequently the accounts show a further loss, says the Critic (London). As the shareholders have already been informed, an agreement was signed on 23rd June, 1906, leasing the mine to the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd. tinder this agree, ineiit, rather n?ore than 6,ooo tons of ore had been sen. to the smelters at September 30th, averaging approvi- mately .08 or., gold, .3 oz. silver, and 1.4 per cent copper. The1 total royalties received have amounted to ^1,- 997 upon the shipments made under this agreement. Since the close of the financial year the original lease has been cancelled by mutual consent, and a new lease substituted, the terms of which the directors consider to be more advantageous to this company. During the recent months, the exceptionally severe winter in Canada and the strikes of coal miners have considerably interfered with operations at the mine, but the lessees hope to be in a position shortly to maintain a regular output of more than 10,000 tons per month. Numerous improvements have been made on the property, and the company's representative in British Columbia reports that the lessees are carrying out all work in a very systematic and thorough manner. . For the seven months to 30th April, 1907, the output has amounted to about 25,000 tons, over half of this tonnage having been shipped during the months of March and April Since 30th September last, the liabilities have been reduced by approximately $7,000.

An explosive costing considerably less than dynamite, says the Western Mining Woild, which was experimented with in the constuction of the Simplon tunnel, is made by soaking meal or powdered charcoal in liquid air or liquid oxygen, the powdered carbon being first packed into a case made of stout paper and covered with an asbestos wad, through which passes a paper tube to the bottom of the cartridge. Just before firing, the liquid air is poured into the tube, and the firing is as usual by means of a fulminate cap. As the liquid air gradually evaporates, the period between rilling and firing is limited to below 10_mini.es. A missfire is not dangerous, because at the end of half an hour the liquid has entirely disappeared and the cartridge may again be handled with safety. The use of this economical explosive had to be abandoned in the tunnel by reason of the quantities or carbon monoxide which is produced in the constricted space. Take Ibe PoBtmnsler'i Word (or It.

The smelter can now treat ore carrying less than one-half the copper that, the old plant needed to realise a profit. It is stated that if the ore could be mined and delivered the new smelter could make a profit from ore containing only 0.65 per cent, copper. The old smelter lost 1.5 per cent of the values, although the plant was torn down llie loss had been reduced to 0.69 per cent. All the tailings, dust, and some of the slag at the old plant have been run through the smelter at a good profit since copper reached 20 cents per lb. Ten per cent of all the copper turned out by the new smelter is made from the slimes, which formerly went to waste. Sulphur alone gees to waste now, which, were il saved, would be equivalent annually to six times the world's consumption. One of the economies at the Washoe' plant is to wash the coal ashes, thus effecting a saving in fuel cost of about $400 per day. The other smelter of the Amalgamated Company, situated at Great Falls, has a monthly output of nearly 8,000,000 lbs. of copper, not quite one-half the quantity of the Washoe smelter. Both smelters are being pushed lo their utmost capacities, and the Great Falls is being enlarged so that INTERESTED INDUSTRY IN THE mined so that the earnings of the various companies would not be reduced. Copper Output of Canada. Consul A. E. Smith of Victoria furnishes statistics showing that the production of copper in British Columbia has increased Soo per cent during the past ten years, while the remainder of Canada has increased but 50 per cent. ,��� The whole of Canada produced 13.- 300,802 pounds in 1897, British Col- j umbia's share being 5,325,180, while of the estimated 55,000,000 pounds I total production in 1906 British Col- , umbia's output was 43,000,000 pounds. {A Canadian editor states that the dividends declared last year by Brttish | Columbia mining companies amounted j to between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 To American Subscribers. On account of the increase in second class postage rates between Canada and the United States, on and after May 8, 1907, the subscription price of the Pioneer to residents of the United States will be $2.50 per annum. This includes new and renewed subscriptions, and is merely the additional postage that must be paid for American delivery. it wil be able to treat next year about 1,500 tons per day more than it can now take care of. Tho capacity of the Washoe smelter is also being gradually increased. Of course, the copper production is net keeping pace with the output of ore from the mines, because it is the policy of the Amalgamated Company to treat as low grade ore as possible while the price of copper is high. Should the price drop materially a much higher grade of ore would be Copper Mining In Peru. The Cerro de l'asco copper properties in Peru, which are controlled bv J. B. Haggin, J. Pierpont Morgan, H McKay Twombley, and other wealth) residents of New York, has probabb been the most expensive copper proposition ever developed. This company was organized in 1902, with $10,- 000,000 capital, to develop copper properties in the Cerro de Pasco region of Peru, which have been worked for years by natives, and which are said to contain a copper tonnage estimated all the way from 2,000,000 to 25,000,000 ions. To date $17,000,000 of American money has gone into this proposition without the return as yet of a single dollar. A magnificent smelting plant, erected under the supervision of Frank Klepetke, has been built near the mines at an altitude of 15,000 feet, but after building, it was discovered that the altitude was too high to per mit of operation, and the present plant will have to be removed to a new location. Eventually the Cerro de Pasco may prove to be an important producer of copper, but, notwithstanding the expenditure of $17,000,000 to date in j mining development, building reduction works, railroads, etc., more millions will have to be spent before profitable copper production is possible. ! The value of pure tea as a nerve nutrient is conceded by the eminent scientist, Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson. He takes issue with those who contend that tea drinking is injurious to people with weak nerves, and states that a long serious of experiments proves that tea direct from gardens, packed in seal lead packets, such as "SALADA" Tea, is extremely beneficial to those of weak- nerves. Such teas build up the nervous system. HANDBOOK (New Edition Issued Novembar 15, 1906.)
