[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.

!iS��:��b>sSw^��&&^ i B.C. Mining ' Messrs. Miinro and Gillis ' are visiting- the scene of the recent strike on French creek; .they are accompanied by a, well known placer expert. < . '.Mining men are deeply interested in the recent rich strike of free gold iii the Coronation mine, on Cad- ��� wallader creek, Bridge river district in the Liliooct, ' The annual .statement of the Crow's Nest I'ass Coal company shows that operations in 1911 were conducted at a loss of $200,546 as Ihe mines were closed the greater part of the year owing to lahor troubles. . The production of coal in 1911 was 359,450 tons against 1,209,762 tons in 1910; coke production was 60,659 tons against 194,498 in the previous year. J. R. Cranston, real estate and mining- broker, returned this week from a visit to the Ttilameeu diamond fields, located ten miles west of the town of Tulameen, where he has been for over a month past, says the Rossland Miner. Diamonds are found in a large olivene dyke, which is half a mile wide, stretches for five or six miles in length, and in the sand and gravel in places covering the dike. Those so far found range from the size of a pin head to the dimensions of a kernel of wheat. Small diamonds are worth about $90 an ounce, and are in great demand. , A. W. Thompson, a diamond expert, from South Africa, has been in the Tulameen diamond' field for several months past. He says that the formation there is similar to other diamondiferous sections. He says there is.considerable bkic^clay and the deposits resemble those found at Kimberley and other diamond fields in South Africa. Mr. Thompson is prospecting the creeks and river benches in the vicinity of the Tullameen fields and says he re- yards it as a most promising section for diamonds. He believes that chimneys in the blue clay and iu the olivine dike will yet be found containing- valuable diamonds. Dan Coutney, Mr. Cranston's partner, has several uncut South African diamonds, and when these arc placed in a pan with the Tulameen diamonds, the" .only perceptible difference is that the latter are brighter and clearer than the former, Messrs. Coutney and Cianstqn own six full claims on ' the olivine dike; also ten acres of diamondiferous placer in one place, and eighty acres in another. In the placers there is considerable platinum and gold. . Platinum and copper occurs in the leads Tuning through the dike on which Messrs. Cranston and Coutney have staked claims. Diamonds are also found in the leads. A syndicate of New York capitalists, interested in 'diamonds, are negotiating1, with Messrs. Cranston and Coutney for the purchase of their claims. Their intention is, after they have acquired control, to work the property principally for the precious stories and platinum. Several claims in the Summit camp, near the Tulameen in -.the Hope mountains, have been bonded to it Mr. Jennings and others, of Spokane, who have a force of men engaged iu developing them. The ledges in the Summit camp carry good gold values in gold, silver, copper and lead. Deals are pending for two other groups in the same camp, and parties were looking over them when Mr. Cranston was thereT The principal -values in the latter groups being copper. ��� Several placer outfits are operating on the TulsU meen and Granite creek, and are securing profitable returns in both gold and , platinum.^_The gold is course and easily saved. s * SIFTON'S DESIRABLES IN TROUBLE AGAIN Doukhobors at Grand Forks to Defy Authorities���Gets Three Months' Imprisonment. Vast Deposit of Coal Discovered An exibit of coal, recently discovered by John D. Rice, 2)/2 miles west of Okanagan Lake, and half a mile from the Kettle Valley railroad grade on Trout creek, West Stim- merland; can be seen in the windows of E, Foley-Bennett's office, Main street. The coal is bituminous, and of a high-class quality; according to an analysis made by Provincial Mineralogist Robinson; to whom a sample was submitted. The coal is outcropping, 300 yards, but a drift has been run in several feet by Mr. Rice. From three feet the seam has widened to five feet in the few yards already excavated, and is of blanket formation, covering, as far as can be ascertained, an area of several ' ' C '*'. acres. Rights to a mile square of the land has been claimed, c Prospects iri'the!;Squthern Okanagan, will be brighter for the discovery. Not far from the locality, a silver mine was recently opened up, which gave showings stated to be $200 to the ton of ore. The.,.land surrounding the coal mine belongs to the Commercial Orchard Co., but right of way has been secured, so that freightage will be simple when the "��� Kettle' Valley railway is finished; "���".';���". ' .That great benefits, wijl result from the find,' is assured. There are several mineral claims in the vicinity, whose owners are only awaiting the advent of the railway to proceed with work on their property. Add to this prospect the certainty of having coal to smelt the ore obtained, and the possibilities for future development are beyond estimation. Mr. Rice -will develop his find with thci aid of a few companions, City Parliament A meeting of the Phoenix city council took place, on Thursday evening, the mayor, J. D. Matheson, presiding, the others present being Aldermen Geo, Rogers, W. Prcndergast, A. D. M'Kenzie and Thco, Biner. Included in the business transacted, was the municipal rate by-law for 1912, which passed its final reading, fixing the rate at 22 mills on the dollar. A communication was also read from A. S. Hood, stipendiary magistrate, requesting payment of his salary, which was among the accounts ordered to be paid. The judge also notified the council of his intention to resign, but as this is a matter which directly concerns the Attorney-General's department, no action other than filing the communication was taken. The finance committee having endorsed the following accounts they were ordered to. be paid: Phoenix Electric Light Co..$225.70 About $2,000 has already been subscribed for the second annual Greenwood Fall , Fair, without counting the grant that will be given by the government.' Tbe fair promises to be a great- success.���Ledge. The Doukhobors settled in British Columbia promise to become as troublesome as summer frosts. A few days ago, Geo. Stanfield, Provincial police officer in Phoenix was despatched to the Douk settlement near Grand Forks to investigatea case of the unauthorized burial of an infant. The officer found the information to be correct, but all his inquiries as to the whereabouts of the father of the dead child .were sullenly ignored; It leaked out, however, that the man wanted had been spirited away to Nelson, whither the officer went in pursuit, and arrested his man. The accused was brought before Police Magistrate Cochrane, of Grand Forks, who found the -Douk guilty and sentenced him to three months' in Nelson jail. ;���'' The Douks now have openly declared their intention of defying the authorities. One of them expressed himself as follows to an officer: "What for you come and take us to prison. Russian policeman do that! When Doukhobors first come to Canada, government say, 'you go long, do-what-you please.' Now you come for poll tax and want us do this and something-else. All the same Russia. You know Jesus?" The constable modestly admitted that he had read considerable about Him.

Mr. Biner, who is substantially interested in the Phoenix Brewing company of this city, will now devote considerable of his time, if not all of it, to the management of the Colin hotel, which is situated in close proximity to the Great Northern station at Grand Forks, Few hotels in this country are more favorably and advantageously situated than is the Colin, and those acquainted with the new tenant's business ability as a manager are prophesying a new and prosperous era for that well known Boundary hostelry. Mr. Biner has expressed his intention of converting his new purchase into a first class establishment, an undertaking which will be haijed with unbounded satisfaction by transient and resident boarders alike. The hotel, in addition to the accommodation, contains about 20 bedrooms, and the bar. is to be supplied with the products of the local brewery, the excellence of which has made the name of Biner famous throughout the southern portion of British Columbia. Removing More Machinery Samuel Potter, formerly master mechanic of the Snowshoe mine, arrived in town this week from Rossland. His mission here is the taking down and shipping away of the large motor at Boundary falls, and also the removal of certain parts of the War Eagle mine compressor, all of which are to be shipped to the Consolidated company's headquarters in Rossland.

C Mines Safer Thomas Graham, chief inspector of mines who has returned from attending the United States mine inspectors institute, at Columbus, Ohio, and visiting testing stations and mines in Pennsylvania and Illinois, told the Colonist, that while there was much to take advantage of in their experience, he finds mine operators here as ready to adopt modern safeguards. Inspection he finds more elficicnt in British Columbia than in any of the coal mining states, owing to better discipline, and the fact that the B.

J., are expected in Edmonton in a few days, where they will outfit for a trip into the extreme northern parts of Alberta and British Columbia. The hunters are being sent out by the authorities of the Smithsonian In- stitute of Washington, D.C., and the object of the trip is to determine the northern limit of the habitat of the Big Horn sheep of the Rocky mountains; to ascertain if in the northern part of British Columbia the Big Horn'and Stoni sheep occupy the same territory, and to capture specimens of both varieties, also white goat, mountain caribou and brown bear, , The expect to be away three or four months, and propose travelling to the end of steel on the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad on the Frascr, in British Columbia. Then, by canoes, paddle by way of the Crooked river to the Parsnip. From the headwaters ofthe Parsnip the explorers will make a portage to the headwaters of the Peace river and re-embark, also visiting the gorge. The two naturalists will 'explore the mountain wilds on both sides of the Peace river, shooting such specimens as they desire and photographing the country. They expect to secure many photographs of wild life in its native haunts. The Canadian law, which forbids the exportation of mountain sheep and goats and caribou, has been withdrawn in this case at the request of the Smithsonian authorities. Mr. Vreeland hunted mountain sheep and goats in the Canadian Rockies several years ago, and one ofthe finest mounted specimens of goat to be seen in the United States now adorns the parlor of the Mont- The Most Important Divisional Point on the Main Line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, and the Junction Town of the Celebrated Hudson Bay Railway.

Davisson, Western writer, says: "During 1912 Melville has an assured milling capacity of 425 bbls. daily; her municipal and structural energies will exceed one million dollars; the business of her banks are increasing monthly; while her railroad and postal revenues are making tremenduous strides. By the fall Melville's round house will be 28-stall capacity, as against the 36 stalls of the Canadian Pacific at the railroad city of Moose Jaw. Yet Melville was born~iii,1907 and Moose Jaw in 1882.

Celebration in the Far North Special to I'hoonlx Pioneer' Seven hundred braves of the Cree and Beaver tribes from various parts of the north country, headed by Chiefs Kcenescw and Mustus, sjarbed in their gaudiest apparel and accompanied by squaws and papooses, assisted by the, Catholic clergy of the Athabasca diocese, assisted at the celebration of the golden anniversay of the priesthood of Bishop Grouard, the oldest missionary in the Dominion. The celebration took place at Grouard, north of Edmonton, Alberta. , The Indians attended the reception, where addresses were delivered by Samuel Cunningham, a former member of the territorial legislature; Bishop Joussard, Miss Kate McDermott, daughter of Mayor McDermott. High Mass was celebrated by Bishop Grouard assisted by Father Orcalan of Rome preached the sermon. The services were followed by a public banquet, at which addresses were delivered in English, French and Cree. A parade, in which a squadron of the Royal North-west Mounted Police tookjjart, was the feature of the afternoon, and in the evening there was a presentation of a drama, entitled "Life of Bishop Grouard in the North," written by sisters of the church. The Indians, who were camped along the northern shores of Lesser Slave lake, passed the rest of the week in sports, including horse and pony races, cowboy, running, jumping and dancing contests and tugs of war. The dances vividly recalled the time when the red men held full sway over the vast northlarid. At the close of the festivities the gathering broke up, the braves and their people returning to their habitats in the woods, many of theni travelling by the most primitive means of transportation. Bishop Grouard is a native of Brittany, and came to Canada in 1860, completing his theological studies in Quebec. Encountering many hardships in the north, he worked with Catholic and Protestant alike, and did much more than any living man towards civilizing the native Indians. He befriended the pioneers, trappers and packers in the early days, and in return they have honored him in the scene of his faithful labors.

A CLASSIC ON CONSUMPTION Words of a Prominent Canadian Citizen as He Has Viewed the War Against Consumption "Men, women, and children are all being mowed down every day by this fell disease���consumption���and it 'is a mistake." These words of Mr. Edward Qurney, Spoken at a gathering in Maskoka a yeax ago, may be fittingly termed a classic on consumption. The records of the Maskoka Sanatorium, as do those of other institutions of a like kind, on this continent and in Europe, show very clearly that this much dreaded disease can be, and is being conquered by the treatment followed in any well-managed sanatorium. In our own Province, within the time that the hospitals in Muskoka have been in existence, the death-rate from consumption has been reduced twenty-five per cent. The life-saving possibilities of the sanatorium in Canada are limited only by tho means required to cany on and extend the work. For this reason we very cheerfully ask our readers to help in the great and growing work that is being done aft Muskoka. It is a fine statement for the trustees of I the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumj | tive.i to be able to make, that from i month of April, 1902, when this institution I ivap first opened, up to the present day, j not a single patient has ever been refused ; admission to this hospital because unable ! to pay. ��� ' PhQSphohol 1?^,^.^^^^ i r Mr. W J.

THE DAIRY J, W. Hannam, Prop. nearer home, there is- the case of the late Casimir Czowski, at one time a prominent figure in Ontario political affairs, who was born in Poland, and who, unlike Mr. Perley, came to Canada after he had reached his majority. The action of the Federal premier in recommending Mr. Perley to the His Royal Highness the Governor-General is a commendable one, and should meet with the approval of every class of Canadian citizenship. "PROPER CLOTHES J> Our stock of suits covers the entire range of good clothes for men and young men, and is unusually rich in beautiful fabrics and new models. It is our ambition to sell absolutely the finest clothing made in Canada, and in featuring the "Proper Clothes" brand, we feel that we have the best ever. These garments show for themselves as regards PERFECTION OF FIT; QUALITY OF FABRIC; VARIETY OF PATTERN ; EXCLUSIVENESS OF STYLE together with high-class tailoring. They offer the advantage of immediate selection, and give confidence and courage to the men who wear them. "Proper Clothes" are good credentials and em- hasize a man's good taste and refinement. If you want to appear at your best, this is the store to come to. In Lieu of Reciprocity The following is a summary of the speech recently delivered by Mr Frank Beer, retiring president of the Toronto branch of the Canadian Manufacturers' association: . "The one event of outstanding importance since our last annual meeting was tlie federal election, which resulted in the downfall ofthe government upon the reciprocity issue. It would be useless to attempt to disguise the fact that the west, Alberta and Saskaskchewan is keenly disappointed over its failure to obtain access to the larger markets of the United States, and so long as that feeling of disappointment prevails, it can not be said that reciprocity is dead. "Nor can we afford to close our eyes to the fact that these provinces feel aggrieved with us in the east for the part we played in thwarting their desires. "No amount of specious argument or flag-waving will allay that feeling or satisfy the west that it has not been robbed. "Wider markets the west must have, but for its Own good as well as for the upbuilding of Canada as a whole, let us hope that they will; come through the development of diversified manufactures'west of the great lakes. Boom conditions may be expected to prevail as long as construction continues and the people keep pouring into the country but if prosperity is to be laid upon a permanent foundation there must be provided for the population more variety of occupation than farming and real estate speculation. "The Made-in-Canada train which has just returned from the west we hope, has caused the country's old men to see visions and the young men to dream dreams of a prairie broken at frequent intervals by busy towns and populous cities, where hives of industry afford the farmer Visits Crows' Nest Hon, W. T. Crothers, Minister of Labor in the Dominion cabinet, accompanied by a party which included Mrs. Crothers, spent Thursday in Fernie and Coal creek, says the Free Press. The ministerial party arrived in private cars. The' Minister of Labor is spending the parliamentary recess in familiarizing himself with industrial conditions throughout the Dominion so far as U is possible in a tour of the country. The information which he gains will be invaluable to him in conducting tlie affairs of the newest and one of the most important portfolios in the cabinet. Yesterday afternoon the visitors were't'ajcen to Coal creek, where in company with mine officials and officers of the Miners',Union, an inspection was made of the surface workings and interior of a coal mine. V It was evident that the minister was deeply interested in everything he saw and that he was anxious to acquire all possible 'information first'hand... When he re- turns .to Ottawa he will at least be familiar with some of the termin-. ology of coal mining, and will have some idea of the difficulties under which the black diamonds are put on the market.

KNOB HILL AVENUE The Acting-Premier Ministers of the Crown, both Imperial and colonial, have had a deal to contend with and legitimate criticism has always been welcomed by most of them. But the heinous crime of having been born in the United States which has been laid at the door of the lion. Geo. Perley, acting Premier in the absence of R. L. Borden, in England, is about the limit. The awful information is, however, true, which is more than can be said of the puerile vaporings of the present day Liberal Opposition. The roll of loyal British ministers who first saw the light of day under an alien flag is anything but a small one, while some of them have contributed more than their share in upholding the dignity and safeguarding the intcicsts ot departments committed to their care. Prominent on the list is that brilliant master of finance, George J. Goschen* a former Chancellor of the British Exchequer, who originally came from Germany. Vet throughout his whole useful career in the service of Crown and country no finger of suspicion or reproach was ever raised against him. Coming existence, its influence with both press and people is already being felt throughout the province. Copies of the book can be obtained b}' addressing the secretary, P. W. Luce, New Westminster. Grand Trunk Pacific Progress Edmonton, July 18.���Official announcement was made by E. J. Chamberlain, president ofthe Grand Trunk Railway company, while in Edmonton a few days ago, that unless unforeseen labor troubles arise, the main line of the Grand Trunk road will be completed between Fort William and Prince Rupert, before the close of 1913. This will give Edmonton access to the Pacific coast by the shortest route and easiest grade through the Rocky mountains, opening up a large new territory for trade development and industrial growth. Mr. Chamberlain said also that companies friendly to the company were now building roads in the Peace river country, which will be ready for traffic before the winter of 1914, and added that the company's steamship service between the Pacific coast and the orient will be opened noon.

The writer asserts that the naval arrangement provides for $7,500,000 as Canada's minimum contribution to the navy. In return Canada has not put forward any request, but it is understood that the British government will put forth its best efforts to meet Canada's requirement in regard to a subsidy toward a steamship line between Canada and the West Indies, also a subsidy (towards the "All Red" steamship route which has already occupied attention in both hemispheres. In the latter case the sum suggested was $1,250,000 a year. It would be a condition of the "All- Red" steamship route that money shall not be given to any line now in existence, and that it must have a complete scheme for fast steamers, not merely between Great Britain and Canada, but also between Canada and Australia. Mr. Churchill is expected to make an announcement on the naval aspect of the matter in the House of Commons in a few days. Conferences arc occurring daily in London, and the eyes of all in the Umpire are rivetted on its nerve centre, the great metropolis. The Canadian representatives are being received with open arms, and feted by royalty and commoner, alike. It is even said that interest in their visit is being watched with feverish anxiety by the great war lords of Germany. We are moving at last in the right direction. The time for platitudes has past. The Canadians are now looking for actions. The Westminster gazette, refer- ing to Mr. Borden's statement that the British Parliament is not truly Imperial, says: "We are glad to see the idea thrown out, and during the next few years hope to see it in practice. In thought and language the self-governing communities and British parliamentary institutions are developing naturally in a federal direction, but a definite scheme can hardly at present be submitted by the United Kingdom."

New Strike of Copper-Gold Ore Mat Trevvhella has made a new strike on the Phoenix of heavy sulphide ore carrying- a large percentage of copper. The strike was made at a point a couple of hundred feet further down the hill than at the place where the ore he recently shipped was extracted.

Rossland residents have visited the Phoenix since it was made in considerable numbers. One result of the strike in the Phoenix and elsewhere, is that it is appreciating the value of leading mining properties in the South Belt. Mineral claims that could have been purchased for comparatively small sums a few months' since are now considerably enhanced in value, and higher prices arc being asked for them.���Rossland Miner. N.
