R."-P��.��ent Time Title Clui-ies June 10. Whether it is the presence o( so many V., V. &��� E. engineers in and around Phoenix, indicating that we will soon have another railway, or for some other good and sufficient reason, the C. P. R. has definitely decided to give an improved service in a' passenger way on the Phoenix branch. Jay I'. Giaves, manager of the Granby Co., took the matter up recently with Manage! Marpole, and he in turn is trying to arrange it with Supt. Downie, of this division. The new arrangement will piohably go into effect at the same time that the Imperial Limited train is started on the main line, which will be June 16th. This is the infoi .nation conveyed to the Pioneer by the district passenger agent, Mr. Carter, of Nelson, who visited Phoenix this week. ' He said it was the expectation to arrange for a double daily passenger service or. the Phoenix branch. One train would run to connect with the main line trains, east and west, at Eholt, while the other would run through to Greenwood and return each day. The officials of the railway think that there is traffic enough between the two places to make it worth while, and are now arranging the schedule to this end. In addition to this, the seivice will be improved in other nays. At present the passenger coach is carried on the ore trains, and on this account is not at all satisfactory, as it requires more time to make the trip, and the ore train from the smelter is sometimes late in arriving at Eholt. The ,fiew plan is' to run a regular mixed passenger and freight service, by which much better time can be made, and Mftraphrt%WSBftrtt-iH 1)6 ���Tiad* iif'b'otir passenger and freight service.

Porter, professor of mining and metallurgy in Met Jill Univcisity, Montreal, visited I'hoenix to make anangements for the visit here of the summer school of mining this week. On Tuesday the special car of the class ai rived in'town and was switched to the Old Ironsides spur, back of the Granby apartment house, for a couple of days. The party consists of the following: Dr. J.B. Porter, who is in charge; Dr. F. D. Adams, professor of geology and a distinguished savant; Prof. Landry, chief of the mechanical department; F. W. Draper, assistant professor of metallurgy; graduates in order of seniority���M. W. Evans, O. E. Leroy, L. O. Howard and A. R. Archer; also the following students���Messrs. Corliss, Campbell, Coulson, McBride, McLaren, Porcheron, Despensiei, Johnson, Robertson, Brainerd, 'Car- lyle, Lucas, Langley, Pembei ton' and Hall. They travel in a specially fitted up tourist car, which was selected in preference to the plush finished first class coaches, and have two cooks and a porter to look after their needs. Objects of Ihe Trip. Each year a special excursion is taken by the mining department of McGill to some section, for the purpose of examining ore bodies in working mines and securing practical information in regard to mining and smelling���information that cannot be obtained in the class room. On these trips they are together socially as well as in the moie serious part of the excursions, and so have a ^thoroughly enjoyable time���while on a tour of, the mining districts...���.';,_*_���._.,,���,, S;'-^^ These tours are a comparatively new feature in the course. One year they spent the term in Cape Breton, anothei in Pennsylvania, and last year a small paity went to New Yoik state. This year the longest and most comprehensive e\\cursion thus far given is now being taken to British Columbia. Where They Have Been. Leaving Montreal some three weeks ago, the party came straight west, and made no stops of importance till the coal fields on the main line'were leached. Canmore, Anthiacite and the famous Banff weie each taken in in turn, and then diiect to the coast. Nanaimo, Victoria and Vancouver weie visited, and the mining districts of the Kootenays and Yale we're next on the list. A stop was made at Sandon, and the Payne and Slocan Star mines visited. After a brief look at the Hall Mines smeltei at Nelson, the paity proceeded to .Rossland, and spent a week. Here they made an exhaustive examination of the LeRoi and War Eagle mines In this connection there is an interesting inci dent. Dr. Porter was informed by a friend before leaving the east that the paity would probably be banquetted by the War Eagle people in Rossland, but would not be allowed to go thiough the propeity. It happened that they were shown every couitesy in examining the mine, and weie not banquetted. How the Work Is Done. This summer school is designed to give instruction in the relations of practical and theoretical mining, and is modelled after those to be found in mmy of the American colleges. So popular has it become that McGill now has more'students in the mining course than any university on the American continent, save one. There are over.1,400 students in McGill in the various courses, and of these there are nearly 100 in the mining department. In order that the adjutages of these trips may be utilized ao the utmost, each man receives a printed outline of the points to be observed in each class of mine and smelter visited. He must take full notes, measurements etc., as he goes along, which aie examined daily. As the train proceeds informal lectures are delivered upon the geological characteristics of the country through which they are travel ling, and the special features of the mines to be visited are pointed out. Inspecting Mines of Phoenix. The party, with the professors, made a careful examination of the Old Ironsides, Victoria and Knob Hill mines in this camp, accompanied by the superintendent, William Yolen Wii- lipms, and- Assistant' Treasurer,' J. F. Hemenway. Every possible courtesy was shown the McGill boys by the local officials, and their' investigations facilitated in every way. Numerous photographs of the mines and works were taken for future use in lectures, etc, and as Dr. Porter exchanges photographs with the Royal School of ��� HE . .-,./.

Mines a: London, these views will be seen thcie in a short time. The numbers of the party were greatly impressed with what they saw of the mines of Phoenix, and copious notes were taken as well as numerous samples, Leave Men in Each Large Camp. Dr.' I'orter informed the Pioneer that, in order to get a better understanding of the workings of the more important mines, members of the party would be left to work in many of the camps that were visited. In fact, he did not intend to take any of them back home at this time. They would all,'go as far as Nelson, and would then go to the mines where they had been allowed to go co work, and spend the rest of the summer in mucking or drilling or whatever they were put at, in order that they may gain some practical experience. Two will be left in Phoenix, Messrs. Depensier and Campbell and others elsewhere. From Phoenix the party went to Greenwood, there they were entertained at lunch, and then took in the Mother Lode and Sunset mines in Deadwood camp, and also inspected the B. C. Copper Co.'s smeltei. Then they proceeded to Nelson and to East Kootenay. i Here steps were to be made to see the St. Eugene and North Star mines, as well as the coal mines at Fernie. , ' It is announced from Sherbrooke, Quebec, that a consolidation of the War Eagle, Red, Rock and Lulu claims.in Phoenix camp has been ' made and the controlling interest sold to a London, England, company. The new undertaking is to be , known as the Sherbrooke Consolidated, capitalized at ;��i 50,000 in ��1 shares. Active operations will shortly be commenced on the.properties. The War Eagle was staked in August, 1.891, and-has an immense, outcrop of gold;copper ore.." About two years since it was acquired by the War Eagle Copper-Gold Mining Company, the majority of the stockholders being prominent Eastern Townships business men, the mine being equipped with a 5-drill compressor plant. Development consists of a shaft sunk to a depth of 100 feet, with 660 feet of drifting and crosscutting, the other claims being only partially-prospected.

The full aldermanic board and the mayor were present at Wednesday evening's meeting of the city council. The first business was the reading of a communication from Sister Superior Teresa, of the Rossland hospital, to the effect that she would like to arrange to' take charge of the new- Phoenix general hospital when built. 'Phe council took no action in the matter. > , ' Early closing By-Law No. 22 was read the first time. It calls for the closing^of all" general ^placgf. of Tbusi���' : and the days precedingCfiublic holidays."

It provides for the issuance of $15,000 in debentures far street grading, etc. Mayor Rumberger offered to donate a cemetery site to the city, and the offer was accepted. It is located near the old saw mill site below the city. James Breen, manager of the Dominion Copper Co., was given permission to ditch the ground on the new addition from Phoenix-to Church street. Alderman Punch gave notice of his intention to introduce a by-law to rearrange the lots in blocks 1 and 6 in Rumberger's addition, abutting on Standard avenue, and to alter the width of Standard avenue. In accordance with a motion made, the mayor appointed a committee, consisting of Aldermen Punch,' Mclnnis and Roy, to consult the owners of property adjoining the city to ascertain their wishes in regard to coming into the municipality. Alderman Punch gave notice of his intention to introduce a Water and Light Franchise By-Law. The clerk was instructed to send copies of Street Improvements By-Law No. 16, to Messrs. F. J.
