[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.

FURNISHINGS PHOENIX, BRITISH COLUMBIA; SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1910 No.- 34 i TO EXPLORE fiRANBYpO 100WOT DEPTH Important Diamond Drilling Operations Commenced===New Area of Ore is Located on Granby Prpperty-Graves Interviewed '���������' What is expected to prove an important exploratory undertaking in the history of Granby mines was commenced yesterday, when a diamond, which were not known to Dr. Sussmari, have been made for years, it at least represents one of the probably large blocks of ore in the Granby property drill started operations on the 400-foot level of thie big producer to bore to a depth of one thousand feet. ;tt has been generally understood that ore bodies of low grade copper propositions in the Boundary district do not run down, though there has never been any satisfactory demonstration that there is not ore at depth. Up to the present time the ore bodies have been found to be so large that it has never become necessary to develop at gi eat depth, that is below 600 or 700 feet. The starting of deep holes from the lower level of the Granby mine, which is practically 800 feet below the surface, opens up a hew era in deep mining in the Boundary district. It is for the purpose of determining whether or not there is miriable rock at depth that this special exploratory work has been undertaken. Oper ations are in charge of Boyles Bros., diamond drill contractors for the Granby, and the cores will be awaited for with interest. The success of the bores will mean ,m *ch to both the Granby company and the Boundary mining district generally. NEW ORE STRUCK Particularly gratifying results have followed recent diamond drilling on the southern part of the _Knob Hill claim of the Granby - group, hitherto undeveloped. No information concerning the strike could be obtained from O.* B. Smith, superintendent of the Graoby, the engineering expert of New York who examined the! Granby some months ago, and whose statements concerning the property were apparently responsible /or the drop in Granby shares from $100 to $35. Dr. Sussman, however, has probably made himself sufficiently falnpus, even though the mine may smile at his pessimism. It is not possible to s&te the tonnage located by recent piercing of the drill, though coupled with the fact that there is still considerable of Granby's area unexplored, it is safe,to state that development work is being kept well up with even the large shipments of ore and an expert will stilly find his six millions in sight a year or two hence. JAY.P. GRAVES INTERVIEWED "We are treating about 3200 tons of our own ore and about 300 tons of custom ore daily at the Grand Forks smelter," said Jay P.* Graves, general manager of the Granby company, in an interview in Spokane on Monday. "Owing to the low price of copper, we do not aim to work at full capacity at 1 present, in which respect we are following the example of the Consolidated and other big copper producers.

It is understood a detailed report is now aboJt completed, though it is quite probable il may not be made public until the annual meeting of the company in October. granby's reserves In an article criticizing the Gratiby for withholding from stockholders information concerning the property, the Boston News Bureau says: "The recent statement by President Langeloth that ore "available for stop- ing" at the present did not exceed 6,- 000,000 tons, does not, in itself, indicate a deplorable state of affairs���there are few vein mines which can point to larger reserves���and at any fair price for'copper there would seem to be net profits in this tonnage alone more than sufficient to cover the present telling price of the property." GRANBY GOOD BUYING Geo L. Walker, in Boston Commercial, says: "Granby stock sold down to $20 this week, but quickly recovered to $26. At the low price the company's capital stock was selling in the market for $2,970,000. If it is assumed that there is no more than the 6,000,000 tons of ore in the property, which an engineer recently found blocked out, this ore was selling, when the stock was at its low price, for 49 cents per ton, and this without making BITUMINOUS COAL FOUND AT MIDWAY Scam of High Grade for Coke and Steam Uncovered High grade bituminous coal has been found at Midway. One seam was recently- uncovered and prospec- tois are at work'on a second one. ��� Experimental work has proved this coal excellent for steaming and for coke. The owners will try to prove the extent of coal available at that point and if they succeed in establishing the fact ot quantity the mere location of the find will make it a success and the property will then be thoroughly developed. At the present time the coal wtiich the C.P.R. uses in the Boundary district has to be brought from the Crow's Nest at no inconsiderable expense.

Fullest particulars will be required and can be sent to me at Cascade, B.C., or by an interview.

Matthew's Barber shop AuUInf Ovtr Dynamite An auto party were out driving in New Westminster last Saturday. 1'hey rounded a sharp bend in the road, when a man who had apparently been standing on the side of the road and not seen them coming, rushed towards them, waving an axe arid shouting to them to keep back. Almost at the same time the chauffeur's attention was attracted by the actions of the man, he saw, lying on the road only a few yards in front of the machine, seven sticks of dynamite. He,was right on top of .them; the road was narrow and the machine was travelling fast. He thought that the best and only chance he had was to pass over the sticks fast and give the dynamite the least weight possible. He put on full power. For the fraction of a second there was a period .of horrible suspense as Hunter waited for what he thought was certain destruction, but the might explosion .never came and the machine passed in safety. / "Afben the machine was stopped some rods down the road, it was seen that the wheels had passed directly over three of the sticks of dynamite and had broken and crushed them.

The ONE and ONLY ADVERTISING MEDIUM for the Boundary is Th? r ho?mx rioneer $2.00 P��r Year In Adv ivartce WILL EXPEND A MILLION Improving Nelson-Boundary C.P.R. Lines Estimated expenditures by the C.P. R. for repairs during the present year in the Kootenay district and exclusive of the Proctor hotel project will augre gate $1,080,000. Some three hundred miles of nilroad will be built; several new steel'bridues are under construction; several miles of road will be laic) with the eighty five-pound steel rails; wooden bridges will be filled in; re turning walls of stone masonry built; sixty miles of track ballasting done; a brick roundhouse built at Smelter Junction and a multitude of smaller jobs handled. Between 500 and 600 laborers are now at work at the various points and within a fewv weeks almost as many more will be engaged. A survey of the work which the C.P.R. is doing in southern British Columbia sustains the belief that the railway authorities are decidedly optimistic as to future development work in the district mentioned. Probably no other tciritory produces more business, freight tonnage and passenger traffic and more railroad revenue per capita of population.. According to a census recently taken by the railway officers the population in the district between Kootenay Landing and Midway, south of the main line, does not exceed 30,- 000 in number and the expenditnre of so large a sum in one year (or railroad improvements points to a volume of production highly creditable to the province. ; Steel rails weighing eighty-five pounds per foot, the heaviest rails used, are expected to arrive from the east the latter part of the present month, and the work of laying them in place will start at once. These new rails will be used on the PhoenixEholt branch to Greenwood, Castlegar, Smelter Junction, from Castlegar westward for ten miles, Nelson to Shore Acres, and on the Granby ipur from Grand Forks to the smelters. It is estimated that the cost of laying these new rails will be $2600 per mile and for the' total of seventy miles this item alone amounts to $182,000. One of the biggest bridge building jobs is that of Cascade, where a wood- den structure is being replaced by a steel one on stone masonry piers of nearly 3000 cubic yards. It will be one hundred feet above the water, and will-consist of two spans of r30 feet, two of 100 feet, and two of forty feet. The railway company is doing the masonry work. This bridge will cost the railway company $115,000. Twelve miles north of Cascade work has started on another steel bridge of 130 feet, single span. Men are now engaged on the foundation. An eighty feet span will be put in on the Lardo branch, but the remainder of the cut will be filled with gravel and stone. A number of important operations are on hand in the filling in of old wooden bridges. Men are at work at Fisherman, between Grand Forks and Eholt, where 160,000 cubic yards of earth will be required to fill in a bridge. Instead of building a masonry culvert, the railway at this point is driving an eight-foot tunnel through the rock for 400 feet to carry off the water. East of Farron, on Porcupine Creek, 700,000 cubic yards of material will be required to fili in the wooden bridge, and it will take three years to complete the job. At present the work is confined to building a hydraulic plant by which method the work will be done. Actual filling at this point can not commence before next year, an eight- foot stone arch culvert 520 feet long being necessary first. The cost of this improvement is estimated at $150,000. Other filling jobs on hand include one south of Robson of 80,000 cubic yards, one on the Phoenix branch of 50,000 yards, and one on the Nakusp line, totalling 180,000 yards. Economy prompts the filling in of wooden bridges. They require coi stant watching and yearly repairs. When once tilled in they are permanent and entail no further expense. In the Boundary district forty miles of ballasting work is under way and half done. This the railway company estimates costs $1000 per mile. Four retaining walls are under construction between Nelson and Cascade, and at Smelter Junction work in started on a tine five-stall brick round-house, to cosi $22,000. E. A Uagg and W. M. Alexander are negotiating with the New Westminster city council for a 99 years' lease and exemption from taxation for twenty y.-ars, in retuin for which they promise to establish an elevator with 100,000 bushels capacity and also a large flouring mill. The Government's representative.s are selecting the Crown's quarter-in terest lots in the new townsite of Kaleden. C. N. Railway Plana Detailed plans of the line of the Canadian Northern Pacific railway thiough the mainland of British Ceil-' umbia from the lower Ftaser terminals ��at Port Mann to a midway point on Moose Lake (beyond and eastward of Tete Jaune Cache) have b;en filed with the chief commissioner of lands, and formerly accepted and signed by Hon. Price E'lison. The line is now authoritatively delineated insofar as ihe mainland sections are concerned with the exception of one short section lying between the head waters of the North Thompson and the McLennan River and such minor deviations ns may hereafter be made will not vary from these filed plans by more than a mile at the maximum. The first section plan covers from Yale, south along the Fraser river to Chilliwack. The second section extends from Chilliwack to New Westminster bridge and is in entire accordance with public expectations. From Kamloops the line follows the Noith Thompson 156 miles to its headwaters. The easterly section (yet to be con nected by the awaited plan for the line from the North Thompson to Mc Lennan river) extends from the headwaters of Canoe river northerly to about ten miles south of Tete Jaune Cache, at the junction of the McLennan with the Fraser, and there takes a sharp bend, following easterly. In their entirety the plans filed cover upwards of 400 miles of construction, and only omit about thirty miles of the complete mainland line. MountTitlow Mount Tatlow will be the name given to the culminating peak of the Cascade Mountains. It is 10,000 feet high, and stands to the south of Ne- miah Valley. It will be named in honor of B.C.'s late minister of finance and agriculture, who iost his life under tragic circumstances over three months ago. ^Asaya-Neurall^ THE NEW REMEDY FOR Nervous Exhaustion Night sweats are a sure sigu of nervous exhaustion.

(.notract Let Vancouver, July 13 ���The contract for the first section of the Kettle Valley railway has been awarded 10 Mac- Connell, Gzowski and company. The work awarded covers the portion between Merritt, on the Spence's bridge Nicola line, and the headwaters of the Coldwater river, a distance of 30 miles. The contractors will carry on the work entirely from the Merritt end of the line on account of the facility in the delivery of materials. The agreement covering the provincial bonus demands that operations be started by July 10 and contractors are rushing equipment to fill this condition. HAVE YOU REMEMBERED IT?

Blisters, sunburn, scratches, insect stings, etc., if not immediately attended to, are likely to spoil your pleasure Zam-Buk ensures you against trouble from these. Take Zam Buk, instead; of "taking chances" ? Zam-Buk is antiseptic; kills all poison in wounds, whether from barbed wire fence, or insect sting. Soothes aching feet and blistered hands; heals baby's chafed places; cools those sunburn patches, and prevents freckles. No mother should be without it. Purely herbal in its composition, Zam-Buk is always superior to the ordinary ointments containing animal oils and fats, and mineral coloring matter. All druggists and stores sell Zam-Buk, but avoid harmful substitutes. Tho Blind Pig The experience of the police at Prince Rupert during the no-license period preceding its incorporation as a city with self governing powers, and its adoption of the license principle as generally prevailing in this province, is not one that is likely to be cited by advocates of change in British Columbia's system of dealing with the liquor traffic. Despite the utmost activity of the police, blind pigs and holes-in-the wall sprang up and flourished until ferreted out by the law, these vile re- sotts hiddf-n away from the public view dealing in alcoholic drugs and poisons of the vilest description, and subject to none of the official supervision and surveillance inevitable under the license system, proved breeding places of disorder. According to superintendent Hussey, the blind pig offers opportunities in crime and difficulties for the police which are happily uncommon in the extreme in British Columbia. In Prince Rupert alone no less a sum than $5 ico was recently collected in fines as the result pf a special campaign against these underground boozing dens, to deal with which a special force of outside detectives had to be em ployed. At least three crimes of serious character and these it is said would in every probability have never been possible under ordinary circumstances had the common license and regulation system of the province prevailed.
