[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.

A number of men are now engaged getting out timbers on .the other side ot the international boundary line for use at the Ironsides and Knob Hill mines at Phoenix, The timbers will be hauled to Midway jmd shipped by tram to the mines. About joo cars in all will be used. It is said that the Providence mine, near Greenwood, is preparing to send a car of its high grade ore to the smelter at Everett. Ore enough to pay for the bond on the property is said now to be in sight on "this property. A new and valuable ore discovery was recently made near the surface. 'The Waterloo mine, in Camp Mc- Kmne), closed last week Tuesday, it is said on account of lack Of cash in the company's treasury, on account of taction between the old company and the new. It U also stated that the mine! >, About $60,000 was paid out for wages alone this week by the Granby Co., that amount representing the earnings-, of the employees for the month of Map. Ofjthis amount, $42,006" was' paid out here in Phoenixjo the men at the .Granby mines, and the balance, $18,000, was paid to the smelter employees at Grand Forks. At the mines about 450 men are on the payroll, and some 230 at the reduction works, making a total of 680 persons in the employ of the Granby Co. in the Boundary. ' Tuesday of this week was the monthly pay day, and a string of men wa$ continually going to the company'^ office to get their checks, and thence around town to pay their bills, ft made things pretty lively for the tirnf beir,g. \\ T"his is tHelargest monthly payroll ever distributed in Phoenix, not only by the Granby Co., but by any concetti in Phoenix or in the entire Boundary country. But the probabilities are that before the end of this year a larger amount monthly than this will be paid out here. The Snowshoe mine, which also has a larger force than ever before, pays this1 week,, the^i st^bei^gie^egufar monthly date of settling with the employees. It is expected that this company' will add about $6000 to the amount d.stributed in wages this month in Phoenix. This company also will doubtless have larger payrolls this summer, as the force there is gradually being increased, the present number being close to 70 men. John A.

At the fifth ordinary meeting of the shareholders of the Uiitish Columbia (Rossland and Slocan) Syndicate, Ltd., the parent cor|ioration of the Snowshoe Gold &-Copper Mines Ltd;;' recently, held in London, England, the following address was given by Mr. A. J. McMillan, the managing director, Mr. Geo. S. Waterlow, J. P., the'chairnian, presiding: . .,. , .* When last Iliad.the pleasure of addressing you���now nearly two years since���I was just leaving for I'ritish Columbia to look 'after your interests there, and again, alter conferring with my colleagues here in London, and discussing with them many matters of importance, I am about to leave for the west, sailing within a few days for New York en route for British Columbia. It gives m'c pleasure, Mr. Chairman, to support the resolution moved by yourself for the adoption of the report arid accounts. During the year 1901 the syndicate has made great progress, and we may congratulate ourselves upon its success,. ' On the last occasion on which I addressed you I pointed out how difficult it is to secure a really good mining property in any country,. I'ritish Columbia is in this respect no exception to the rule. Properties-capable ol being converted into profitable mines have to be diligently sought for and a considerable amount of money has to be expended before success crown the efforts of the prospector or of the prospecting company. As the chaiVman has truly remarked, those who get one good mine out of a large number of Talk The fifth annual meeting of the shareholders of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company was held in Toronto on March 7th. The net profit of the year after paying all operation expense and all charge of every kind amounted to $207,- 848.39. After paying a dividend at the rate of ten' per cent, per annum, a balance of $28,142.89 was carried forward to the credit'of profit and loss.

In some cases undevelojied properties believed to be good in themselves are so farfiom means of transposition that it pays better to let them lie idle for a lime rather than develop them. With the general development of the country, these facilities in time improve, and then properties of merit have an enhanced value. This was the case with the Snowshoe. It was known many years ago s a rich property, but as there was no ailway in that part of the country, and no prospect of one, it lay idle for yeais. So with the pro|>erty that we are now investigating at Vital Creek. Saewsboc Turnl-i Oat Well. And now, Mr. Chairman, I shall say a few words' about the Snowshoe mine, which, though now taken over by a subsidiary company, is of the greatest interest to us, as this syndicate owns about two-thirds cf its issued capital. No one is more pleased than I am that the Snowshoe has turned out well, and you, the shareholders, ought to coii- gratulate yourselves, not only that you have secured a good property, but that you have as chairman of this "syndicate'a man like Mr. Waterlow, who, when you have a good tljJn,;, is able and willing to exert his great influence to obtain the necessary capital for its development. (Hear, hear.V Owing to tbe disclosure*-in the early part of 1901 in regard to the financial mismanagement of certain large London companies interested in, British Columbia, it became exceedingly difficult; to interest the public in enterprises in that part of the world. Yo such an extent was this the cas^ that I believe I am right in saying our subsidary���^ the Snowshoe .Gold and Copper Mines, Ltd.���was.the only BritishjColumbia mining company publicly subscribed in London last year. This would not liave been accomplished had. it" hot been that Mr. Waterlow went to Biarritz and other places, where helinter-: ested influential friends iri Ihe new company, thus obtaining the working capital required without resorting to underwriting or any of those methods so familiar to men 'n the City, in this way saving many thousands'of pounds to this syndicate���services which we ought, and I am sure we do, most highly appreciate > This is not a meeting of the Snow- sh'oe Company, hence I '.'must not gp too much into detail; but as you are ���largely interested, no. doubCybii wcjuld like to hear something abotnthe mine. During the whole of the year 1901 we carried op the work pf the Snowshoe mine for the new company, though it really tpg|( over the property as from March 1st in last year, and from that date became responsible for" the'expenditure in connection therewith. During the year we did 2,045 ���&��� ��f\ underground work���-drifting,crosscut- tirtg, raising and-sinking���in connection with the opening up of the large ore bodies already shown up. The New Machinery., ^.,. In addition, large areas of ground were stripped.,,of the overlaying soil, thus exposing the pre .underneath*;'and 1 getting it ready for mining. The principal stripping is 360 ft. long by 80 ft. wide, and it; is proposed this summer again to continue the stripping, thus showing up theore still further. There is a long main tunnel on the property, with numerous cross cuts and connections, and the management- now are busy sinking a new shaft, through which they expect to take" out the larger part of the ore in thaf section of the mine. This shaft will-'at first be 300 ft. deep, and when completed will be capable of handling 300 or 400 tons. 0/ wp per day. "���''���''��� "��� "Jn order to furnish the power necessary to carry on the work at the mine additional machinery has been ordered. This was ordered in Eastern Canada, and Mr. Astley cables that it has been shipped, and is expected daily at the mine, The Canadian Pacific railway runs across the proj>erty. A spur, or private siding, Ins been constructed, and on this an ore bin has been built with a capacity of'325 tons. Speaking of the railway reminds me that another company���the Great Northern���has surveyed a, bra,nch line tp! rii.ii across t.j\e property, ..but opposition in certain quarters.has^hindered the commencement of this railway. Until the end of last year we carried oh the business of the company at the mine in .old log buildings erected by the pioneers, but these became altogether inadequate, and the Snowshoe directors last year authorized the erection of bunk and boarding houses for the men and offices and building for the officials. The most important question to consider is how to extract and treat the ore in the most economical manner. In the course of the development some $,009 tp$s o,f ore, have been sent to the smelter, and negoti- ations are in progress with several smelter companies, who have made proposals to buy Snowshoe ore. Should Own a Smeller, Most companies owning big mines such as the Snowshoe, own their own smelters, and, to my mind, this is the proper. course to pursue, as smelting companies, when they purchase ore from mining companies, make so many charges and deductions,, that it runs nway with much of the profit making it extremely difficult to market a large tonnage of the lower grade ore, which could be maiketed profitably il Heated at one's own smelter. Having such an enormous tonnage of ore to deal with, the diicctors of the Snowshoe are giving the very closest attention to the'whole question o( ore tieatment, and in addition to the question of smelting, arc looking into the merits of other processes, by which it is claimed ore can he reduced even more cheaply than by smelting. In the meantime, and until the question is settled, it is pioposed, provided satisfactory arrangements can be completed, to commence marketing ore at one of the existing smelters. Boundary mines, such as the Snowshoe, take a lon�� time to fully develop, but when equipped and developed, they will be amongst the largest in North America. Thej next property to the Snowshoe is owned by a Canadian company, and though it; has been working two years longer than we have, and on a larger scale, it'.', lias not yet 'completed' its equipment.-' It owns a large smelter, to which it is already shipping about 1,500 tons of ore per day. Experts from all over the world who visit.it declare it to.be one of the.great mines of America. The character of its ore bodies and the geological formation are practically identical with that ol the Snowshoe. In a- recent number of the New- York "Mining and Engineering Journal", the following statement appears: "There is no question but that"today mining and smelting are carried: on in the Boundary/at. less cost than' anywhere on the North American Conti nent." ���'���'The.writer.might have added that the cost of mining is also extraordinarily low, or will'be when the mines are fully equipped. Copper, in which we are interested, as it is one o( our important products, is again improving in price, and the best informed authorities predict still higher prices. ; Under these circumstances there is,' 1 am satisfied, a great future before the Snowshoe." The work is being pushed forward as quickly as possible, Already this syndicate has made a large profit out of the Snowshoe, and I believe that the shareholders will in the future receive handsome dividends. We are constantly-having new business put before us from different parts of the world. Only the other day flattering proposals were made with regard to some gold mines in' India, but your Chairman said he did not care to take the mat ter up unless he could personally investigate the property. This'is ah illustration of the thor- oughnes with which your interests are watched oyer. I do not wish to say- more about Mr. Waterlow in his presence than is in good taste, but no one knows as 1 do his conscientious devotion to duty in looking after your in teresls, which are watched over by him with almost parental solicitude, and I feel it is only right that mention should be made to the shareholders of this fact. Whenever I am in England Mr. Waterlow is always willing to give up his time in order lo discuss will: me the affairs of the company, as, indeed, are all my colleagues on the Board. Few companies are so fortunate in this respect. Our success in the past is, I hope, but a foretaste of greater things in the future. Other companies have appeared in the'sanie field in which we are working, have shown for a time with meteoric splendor and have disappeared, leaving unpleasant memories behind them. For our part, we have plodded along, working quitely but I believe none the less suiely toward permanent success. (Applause.) "Amui:r" Plug Smoking.Tobacco is winning in its merits.

MS Cawing out his indorsation ot the era of peace, which has again dawned upon the British Empire, the old Jack- diw first got after the editor of the Slocan Dull, who in ihe last issuecon- uiaiulaled the Hiitis'n people that the diltidilties hitheito existing in South Africa, between the I'ritish and the ���Boer, had been settled for ever, "without the le-occinrence of the 'mistakes of Gladstone'." sw Frequently the |K>licy of the Grand Old Man was characterized as a "l'ea<e at any pi ice" one, which is obviously the view held by the Slocan editor. Jackdaw demands information from thc editoi as to a single case of the peace policy followed by England's gieatest stateman, where he had to pay as big a price for his peace as his successors have during the last two yeais and nine months.
