[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.

I harvest is over, and can then work all winter, especially where the work is largely of a rock character. Order Received to Proceed With Work. For 50 Miles From Midway- West. At last the word has arrived to proceed with the construction of the V., V. & E. railway west from Midway, and have settled down in one of the Qalcr-DeSp-la W___l__. Last Wednesday a quiet wedding took place in Nelson, when two youns people of Phoenix were united, for life. Rev. T. J. Ferguson, pastor of the Nelson Presbyterian cnurch, perfoimed the ceremony for Oliver N. Galer and Miss Maud DeSpain. Misses Daisy and Marion Hodges, daughter, of Supt. Hodges, of the Granby mines, were bridesmaids, and. \V. X, McDonald was best man. Mr. and Mr.. Galer returned to the city Wednesday, BACK FROM THE YUKON Boundary Mining Notes Mr. and Mrs. Hodges Party of Engineers. m Trip Full of Interest Pleasure. and Blackberries, Raspberries, Cherries Watermelons, Canteloups, Etc., Etc. and that little town is now beginning to be the scene of unwonted activity. Patrick ��� Welch, partner of J. W.Stewart, who has had the contract for some . time, as stated by the Pioneer, received telegraphic advices in Spokane last Monday from St. Paul, and at once started for this section with other Spokane contractors, arriving here Tuesday evening, and proceeding at once to Midway with his lieutenants. Mr. Welch was back here Wednesday, leaving the next morning for Seattle on business connected with the contract, and will return next Monday. This contract is for the railway line from Midway, on this side of the international bourdaiy line, to Molson, which is just across the line; and also from the point where the line swings back into British Columbia from Washington, above Oroville, to Kere- meos���in all about 50 miles of grading. There is still a link unlet, from Molson to Oroville, which is'likely to be shortly awarded. A bunch of sub contractors is now busy going over the route and in a few days it will be known who willactually do the work now ordered to be undertaken. Among them is the firm of Burns & Jordan, who graded several miles on the Phoenix extension last year, including the Phoenix end, and whose outfit, or most of it, is now stored here. Mr. Jordan went through Tuesday night. Midway will be the base of supplies for the railway contractors for a year or niore to come. The Great North ern will at once start laying the iron on ihe 14 mile extension from Curlew to Midway, the grading for which was completed iast summer when the line was constructed from Grand Forks to I'hoenix. About iS cars of steel are now on hand at Curlew for this purpose, and with the delays incident to getting in the rest of the steel, the rails on that part 01 the line should be down in two or three weeks more. As it will take a little time to get camps established'and the work opened up, the contractors will be ready for all laborers that will offer alter the Granby cottages on Second street, where they were the recipients of sev eral delegations of enthusiastic friends that evening. :' Mrs. Galer |s the daughter of Mrs. S. A. McCormackj'v of this city, and during the several years she has lived here has been one of the most popular girls in Phoenix. Mr. Galer has been employed in the office of the Granby mines for some years, and also has a host of friends, with _vhom the Pioneer joins in wishing the happy couple a long life of happiness. . ': GOVERNMENT WON INAL13ERNL Premier McBride Endorsed by Electors. Although returns-have yet to be received from a few isolated polling places the result of the Alberni bye- election of last Saturday is placed beyond all doubt by the substantial lead obtained by Mason, the government candidate, in the chief polling places already heard from. The returns so far received give Manson 243 votes and Aitken 17 S, a majority of 65 for Manson, and the returns yet to come cannot wipe out this lead. 'The result has occasioned no surprise. The Liberals put up ���-�� strong fight, but lacker- organization and funds.

GENERAL NEWS OF BOUNDARY The C.P.K. roundhouse at Grand ��� toria are to enforce the act Forks was demolished by the severe ; the careless starting of fires. covering windstorm of last week Friday. A printing plant is said to have arrived at Midway, and that town will ha\c a weekly paper shoitly. It was so warm ovtr in Oroville last week that even the railway laborers were forced to suspend operations for ihe time being. John Kirkup, of Rossland, is reported as saying that while in Midway last week the thermometer registered 120 degrees in the shade. Different in I'hoenix. The genial assessor wa? on an assessing trip. Two miles of the nine to complete the wagon road to Franklin camp have been built; of the remaining seven, the McKinley Mines will build three miles. W. H. P. Clement of Grand Forks, has been appointed deputy county court judge, temporarily, during the illness of Judge Andrew Leamy. Invitations have been received locally to take part in the banquet to he given to Duncan Ross, M. P., next Tuesday at Gieenwood, and the affair will be largely attended from all over the Boundary. The committee in charge consists of C. S. Galloway, A. D.Hallet and A. V. Thomas, the latter being the secretary. The function will take place at the Imperial hotel. (Nonstable Darraugh and Dinsmore were at Cascade this week,taking alon Monday evening the Boundary Creek license commissioners at Grand Forks granted license to C. H. Thomet, Oakland hotel, Midway L. A. Manley, Swanson hotel, Midway, and Martin Defour, Stockholm hotel, Myers Creek. The latter was opposed, but was granted, a strong resolution beiug passed to limit licenses in future. The commission will meet again August 4th, at Grand Forks, to pass upon B. Le- quime's application for the Railway hotel, also at Midway. Excellent progress is being made by the B. C. Distributing and Construction Co., in the building of the high tension power line into the Boundary from Bonnington for the We*t Kootenay Pjwer & Light Co. about 300 men are distributed all along the route, dealing right of way, distributing poles, .'<-. About twenty miies of holes have been dug. It is thought it will be February 1st before the line is ready for business. I-ast Monday at 4 a.m. the store building and contents, owned by J. H. Hodsoii, in Grand Forks, and located nearly opposite the C.P.R. station, was completely destroyed by fire, with the Thatcher-Nelson block adjoining. Mr. Hodson carried about $5,000 in stock, and $1,500 insurance. The location is in the old city of Columbia, now united with Grand Forks. The Hod- Magistrate Cochrane, of Grand Forks, son building was owned by Hay, Mc- for the purpose of making it hot fori Galium __ Wright, who also had their whoever was responsible for setting [ office there. The building was worth forest fires along the right of way of die West Kootenay Power i\r Light Co.'s pole line and along the railway line. Much valuable timber was de frayed, and instructions from Vic- paitially insured $1,500; insured for $900. The other building, unoccupied, was owned by the Colonial Investment it Loan Co., of Toronto, was valued at $2,000, and This week A. B. W. Hodges, general superintendent of the Grauby Co., returned from atrip to the Yukon with Mrs. Hodges, having travelled with the party of -the American Institute of Mining Engineers, and being absent from the Boundary nearly a month. The trip was full of interest from beginning to end, and was much enjoyed by Mr, and Mrs. Hodges. At Victoria the annual session ofthe institute was; held, and while in the capital city the provincial government and the citizens generally did everything possible to make things pleasant for the members of the party. In both Victoria and Vancouver banquets 'were tendered the engineers, after which they; struck out for the far north on a special steamer. - The first stop was at Port Simpson, and then at the famous Tread well mine, on Douglas Island, Alaska, where a visit was made to the deep workings, some 600 feet belOw the sea level, the mine being located on the-sea. Fro'm Skagway the party travelled to Whitehorse oh the Yukon narrow gauge railway, where they took steamer down the Yukon'nver to Dawson, being met at Whitehorse by. a committee from Dawson. In the Yukon capital, the governor, W. W.. B. Mclnnis, and other officials made their stay as pleas ant as possible in' every conceiveable manner, $5,000 having been appro priated foi the purpose, half pf which was contribnted by the Dominion government. The reception was in true northern style,' with bands playing and flags flying.' At a cost of $40 per day for rigs, the party was taken to the Dome, where a fine view of the Yukon gold watershed was had, a number of the best creeks being visited, and the much talked of art of "cleaning-up" was witnessed. Mrs. Hodges did some panning herself, while Mr. Hodges did the shovelling like any mucker, the result of one pan being $2.50 in gold. Mrs. Lodges proved to be the greatest adept of any of the ladies in handling the pan. Those desiring to do so, took nuggets, which were weighed and paid for. No expense was spared in showing the members of the party the wonders of the Yukon. The baseball game at midnight, as promised, did not materialize, as the younger portion of the party preferred a ball gotten up in their honor. But Mr. Hodges said it was as light there at midnight as it is here at six p.m. Each member was presented with gold souvenirs, being stickpins and brooches. Of course, it was known that prices were high in the Yukon, but when a member of the party bought a couple of daily papers, gave a fifty cent piece and received no change, it was realized that the Yukon was no cent belt. The champagne served at a sumptuous banquet cost $15 per bottle and other things in proportion. Hotels in the Yukon are generally poor���not as good as the best in the Boundary���but the hospitality was unbounded. On the way a number of glaciers were seen, notably the Taku glacier. When the party was returning a stop was made at Alert Bay to see one of the large canning factories in operation. Taken altogether, the trip was one much enjoyed and long to be remembered. At the meeting of the institute at Victoria, by special request Mr. Hodges gave a talk on the automatic self charging apparatus lately installed ai th�� Granby smelter, which many of the party had recently seen in opera lion. Granby shares are now quoted at $6.87^$ on the Boston exchange. The Knight & Stone diamond drill which has been operating on the Wol fard group in Wellington camp, with such excellent results, is being moved to the Jewel property, near Hedley, in the Similkameen. It is understood that about the 1st of August the Brooklyn mine will start operations with a good force of men. The new foreman, Mr. Sampson,' has had two or three men busy around the mine this week. MIDWAY & VERNON, TOO Manager Frederic Keffer, of the B. C. Copi>er Co. who has been on an extended trip to New York, and .came back via the Similkameen, where * the company is doing work on the Sunset group, reached Greenwood last 'week Friday. He may make another , trip east shortly. .:..,'.���: An ore house was built this' week at :he Mavis, and 600 feet of road constructed to connect with the wagon road, so that a shipment can be .sent out about the 1st of August. Ari average assay this week gave over $104, A-hile a picked sample ran. $1,358. The property looks better than ever. There is talk once more of reviving the project of driving a 4,000 .foot tunnel into Hardy mountain, near Grand Forks, thereby tapping a number of leads at a depth of some 1,800 feet. It is claimed that.it can be done for $75,000, ��nd that an average of $20 per ton can be obtained from the ore veins thus tapped. Mark F. Madden, won the five suits on trial last week in Nelson regarding the control of the Providence mine, the local shareholders and directors being beaten at nearly every point. The cases were tried before Mr. Justice Irving, and Mr. Madden states that he is much pleased at the outcome, the losers, of. course, ft cling just the opposite. It is not unlikely that one or two of the cases will be appealed. The Providence mine itself is being worked steadily, as usual. " On or about the 1 oth of August, according to the latest estimate, Supt. Hodges expects to close down the: en- lire battery of furnaces at the Granby smelter for about a week, for the purpose of connecting up the two new and larger furnaces, now about installed. When connections are made, the full .battery of eight furnaces will reduce about 2,700 tons of ore daily. The new brick stack is now about 1.00 Jeet high, with but 50 feet yet to be done. During Mr. Hodges' absence in the Yukon the construction work has been pushed, but laborers have been short. From now on every effort will be made to finish it up and get the new furnaces in operation as soon as possible. Construction Beginning That Line. on McLean Brothers, of Vancouver, the Men. Fernie was again visited by a disastrous fire on Thursday at midnight, the loss being about $50,000. The water supply was again inadequate. There will be a special meeting of the Presbytery ol Kootenay in St. Andrew's Presbyterian church on Thursday evening, August 3, at 7 o'clock, to deal with the resignation of Rev. E. C. W. MacColl. A congregational meeting will be held in the same place at 8 o'clock, at which members and all interested in the work of the congregation are invited to be prt sent. Will Celebrate Labor Day. At a meeting of the Phoenix Trades and Labor Council, held last Tuesday evening, it was decided to celebrate Labor Day this year, as usual, the data being Monday, September 4th. It is the intention to have tha celebration take the form of that of last year, with sports, a picnic and a dance in the evening, the proceeds to be applied" to the building fund of the Miners' Union opera house and hall. Another meeting wiil be held next Monday evening, when committees will be appointed, and plans formulated for the celebration. This will be the fifth annual celebration of I_��bor Day in this camp. With the start being made on the construction of the V;, V. __ E. west from Midway, also, comes the news this'week that work is being begun on the grading of the Midway & Vernon railway. To add zest to the situation it only requires that the C.P.R. begin work west from Midway���as many think it will shortly. Thursday evening one of the McLean Brothers, railway contractors of Vancouver, arrived on the Great Northern, and stated that he would at once start on the Midway & Venion line, and inquired where he could secure a lot of teams, etc. He stated that the line was not being constructed by the C. P. R., but independently of that company.. Whether only sufficient work, is to be done to hold the charter, or whether construction will be prosecuted in earnest through to Vernon, does not yet appear. It is but a few weeks since Gustave Loeb, of the gTeat banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New York, was in the Boundary, looking into matters connected with , the financing of the Midway & Vernon���a branch of business that the firm makes a specialty of. It now seems that the matter has been arranged, and that the promoters of the toad 'hate secured aid to assist them in building the road and thereby securing about $11,000 in subsidies, carried by the charter. If the Midway & Vernon, when built, is leased to the C.P.R., it would save that company about 24. hours in time between the Boundary and Vancouver. NEW BRANCH FOR THE E. T. BANK Was Opened Last Friday at Midway. Last week Friday a branch of the Eastern Towships Bank was opened at Midway by Wm. Spier, manager ofthe Grand Forks branch of the institution. K. C. Moe, formerly with the Grand Forks branch, is in charge of the new sub-agency at Midway, which is already doing business, with G. T. Campbell as his assistant. This makes four branches of this bank west of Winnipeg���one each at Vancouver, Grand Forks, Midway and Phoenix. With the new railway construction connecting the Boundary with the Similkameen country, there is demand for more b.nking facilities, and the Eastern Townships Bank are providing these at a point that is convenient for a large n.miber of persons.

I^ur- ing the last two weeks many expressions to this effect have been heard locally., .If.it keeps up, pretty soon, it may be possible to advertise Phoenix as a summer resort Mo.reMoh'derful things have happened in-thisVo!dJ fjray world of ours. It is riot easy to find a town inland where there is a more desirable .clirhate in.the summer : .'������������ A good start has been made on :the new opera house and hall, to be erected here by the Miners' Union, and henceforth ho time will be lbst in ,the completion "'Of the large structure. ; It will be fomethingiliat .hasflong been needed iii Phoenix, and will be a credit to the union and .to jthe place._^ One matter has already come, up. that is of general public interest, and that is the seating of the opera house. ���is .;:''. A year or two ago the world, was horrified at the Iroguois theatre disaster at Chicago, in which several hundred persons wtre burned or trampled to death. After that some genius set his wits to work to contrive a theatre seat that would, to a large extent,-do away with loss of life in case of panic. He finally succeeded,' and called the seat the Iroquois, after the terrible disaster at Chicago. Every seat is on a pivot and every seat folds up automatically, thus making aisUts in every direction, and facilitating getting' out, i 1 case'of need, to the greatest possible d'-greo. In ivarly every place where j this particular seat has been introduc ed, it has given the greatest satisfaction, and although it cost iathcr**?uiore than ordinary sesting it is' we'.l^vorth ihe price.

It would be better, even, to. secure a smaller number of seats at first, if that is considered necessary on account of expen'-e. The opera house will be modern in every way, we1 understand, and it is to be hoped that it will be so in the way mentioned. A reader ofthe Pioneer asks what remedy there is'.for.: the everlasting nuisance of cow bells ringing/more or less, all night long around residences in this town. In reply it may be noted that there is a pound bylawon the city books, but it' never seems to be enforced, and until some one takes the matter up it is likely to remain a dead letter. Cows and horses are alloWed to roam at will, and their bells are not unlike those of a charivari party. They wander up and down in the cool ofthe night, making sleep impossible for all within hearing. * Possibly ifone or two of the animals were impounded and the owner fined, the alleged music would be heard les�� frequently. Timothy Eaton has opened a branch in Winnipeg, and has most thoughtfully notified his many friends in the Boundary to that effect. Those who believe in patronizing home industry, however, will continue -to do business with their home merchants. If every man, woman and childin Phoenix sent away for all food and-raiment needed, there would be nothing/or the average! business man to do. Fortunately, the ��� There seems to be a settled conviction, in the minds of many >that the C. P.R. will not permit the Great Northern to tap the rich Similkameen district all by their lonesome, but that, on the contrary, the moment that work is actually started from Midway west, the C.P.R. will be there, too, building as fast as men and money can do it, extending its line into'that''fertile dis- ;ricf. From the evidences so fur at hand, it .seems assured that Midway; vhieh has been all hut -dead and '.juried, unfortunately, fur several ye;>rs, will becoi.neone of the livi-st corpses in the. west. - Will Rival Butte. The testimony of Manager Gooda'e, 1 lit? great -metallurgist, of Butte, a recent visitor to the Boundary, regarding our mining outlook, is well worth reprinting. Here is what Mr. Goodale said: "I am deeply impressed with the possibilities ot the mining industry in British Columbia. There is every reason to. believe that the output of the mines of the Boundary District will before many years rival that of Butte in regard to" tonnage. Nature has not been so considerate at Butte. The values of our mines are higher, of course, running from $9.36 to $12.85 per ton, but we have to bring our lime for fifty miles at a cost of $1 per ton. Taken altogether, and remembering that we have to roast our ores, we have more complicated problems to deal with than exist in the Boundary District." NOTICE. .'Little Ci ieP' .
