[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.

Principal Keller has resigned from the Grand Foiks school staff to accept a similar position at New Westminster. The skeleton of a man was found on Joe Caron's ranch at Boundary Falls, which had evidentally been there for years. . Mrs. P. F. Roosa and daughter, Boundary Falls, left Saturday for a month's trip to Salt Lake and Los Angeles. Dr. Oppenheimer purposes removing from Greenwood to Spokane in the near future and will practice his pro fession there. V D. Currie, provincial lecturer, and J. D.

The horses were principally from the range at Inkenip and Sidley. The water in the Kettle river rose to within five feet of the bridge at Boundary Falls last week. Powder was used to clear the logging timbers and prevent a jam. F. Matheson, a brakeman on one of the slag trains at the Granby smelter, missed his footing in front of a dinkey engine and was run over. Little hope is entertained for his recovery. The confidence expressed by this old esrablished firm as to the future business stability of Phoenix hi deciding to erect such large premises speaks well for the city, and there are undoubtedly others who will follow the laid taken by E.

AUGUST HEINZE Federal Grand Jury Indicts Former Copper King Again New York, June 16.���The federal grand jury today handed down indictments against F. Augustus Heinze, head of the United Copper company; People From Various Countries Now TrekKlof 10 the Norlhero Interior A Chas. D. Hunter, of the Hunter- Kendrick company, returned Saturday from a trip with A. W. Wright, to the Fort George country, where they are interested in a considerable acreage. They went by stage from Ashcrofuto Quesnel and were passengers on the first boat on the Fraser river from Quesnel to Fort George, the boat,; as yet, not being completed. Going up the river took four days, while the return trip down stream was made in a day. Salt meats and vegetables were the principal provisions on board, though deer and a moose seen on ithe shore were secured to help replenish the larder. J r Although the country is full ofpros- pectors' stakes, Mr. Hunter states that there is still considerable land to be had within a few miles of Fort George. It is principally bench land, above the river bed, and while it will take time and money to clear the prbpertyj the land should eventually become -^valuable. . Each.persojfi staking land;if^required to have it surveyed; 'as yet little government surveying has been done, but while returning to Ashcroft Mr. Hunter met the government survey party going in to do work along the valley. They will spend the summer there and will also do contract work for those staking land. On their return trip down the trail from Quesnel they met large numbers from all parts of the continent heading for the interior, the majority of whom appeared to be going to the Nechaco valley. Several parties of the "don cher 'now" type were also met with trekking northward with numerous pack horses, the packs revealing a full supply of golf sticks, tennis racquets, cricket bats, silk hats and dress suits and other paraphernalia suitable for tbe "swell" functions they are looking forward to in the northern wilds. Operations commenced to open up the coal seam recently discovered hear Midway. The trestlework for the tramway at the Phoenix Amalgamated is about completed. The second payment of $5,000 was made on the Bruce properties at Mid. way last week. A joint stock'company is being incorporated, to develop the Le Roi property, near Bridesville. A force of men have been put to work putting the Sunset mine in shape to commence operations. General Manager J. E. McAllister of the British Columbia Copper company returned from the coast on Saturday. Prospects are bright for the resump tion of work on the Providence mine from which some excellent ore has been shipped. Wire connections with the power line at Greenwood have been made to the Bay mine, and electricity is now being used in connection with the driving of the tunnel at depth. W. H. Rambo, who' is developing the Rambler mine on Wallace moun tain, is urging the claims of the properties in that vicinity for the construction of a wagon road. A good road would be a boon to prospects in that locality. It is proposed to sink a shaft in Rock creek near, the old crossing for the purpose of testing the creek for heavy placer gold. The creek has never been bottomed, owing to the finding of quicksand by the old methods and it is thought that deep down there will be found large quantities of the yellow metal. Such a discovery would create, great excitement in all the territory west of Greenwood.���Ledge. THE NEW DOMINION COPPER Appoints Management���Expects to Operate Properties in August (Special to the Phoenix Pionoer.) .:..,.'.���....,,. New York, June 18���The. receivership in connection with the former Dominion Copper company, at Phoenix and Boundary Falls, ends today; the New Dominion Copper company take charge today, P. F. Roosa has been appointed manager and Charles Rundberg superintendent. The new company expect to commence operations in August. The above message indicates Ithat the reorganization of the New Dominion Copper company is in progress. ; From other official resources we learn that provision is being made for the payment of the wages due former employees at the mines, which totals about $r8,ooo. Although no intimation is given as to when the money will be forthcoming, the cheques will undoubtedly be issued before resumption of operations at the properties.. CONTRACTORS LOOK OVER NEW ROUTE Survey is Completed for Miles Six F. AUGUST HEINZE his brother, Arthur P. Heinze, and Sanford Robinson, Heinze's counsel, charging conspiracy and an attempt to obstruct the administration of justice by spiriting away the books of the United Copper company while the company was under federal scrutiny, and also by interfering with United States marshals in the performance of their duties. f^^MMWIU. "I HI IWW SeelBR tbe Eclipse Local astromers strained their necks and looked heavenward to get a glimpse of the phenomenon in the world of spheroids Thursday afternoon. Some report having observed the eclipse with the assistance of glasses, but business generally was not interrupted. Biildlat li Prface Rupert Word comes from James McRae, who is managing McRae Bros.' store at Prince Rupert, that work has been commenced on their new stationery store in the G.T.P. terminal city, being erected on the $5ooo-lot purchased at the recent sale. It is in the same block as the Bank of Commerce and in the next block to the lot which was sold at the sale for $16,000. Piles have to be driven to secure a foundation, the city authorities not permitting posts. A great many people are now aniving in the city and building generally has commenced. Carney Copper Locator Here James Carney, ofMullan, Idaho, the original locator of the famous Carney mine, was a visitor in Phoenix this week. He states that the recent strike in the Carney is 18 in. or more of ore, running about 20% copper. Mr. Carney has been mining nearly forty years and says that if there is a property in the Coeur d' Alenes that will make a mine it is the Carney! He also states that .the. Reindeer has ^struck Jour feet of fine copper ore In" the 3000-foot tunnel. Several new strikes have recently been made around- Mullan and capital is being attracted from every direction. Phoealx Doctor Hoaored Dr. W. H. Dickson on Monday received word from Vancouver that he had been elected vice-president of the Society of McGill Graduates of British Columbia at its annual meeting in that city last week. As graduates of the various professions are members of the society, the honor done Dr. Dickson in his absence is no slight one. The announcement was a surprise to the doctor, as he had not considered himself in line for the position. Times Uodjr New Management J. M. Millar and A. M. Davidson, who have been running the Boundary Creek Times at Greenwood for some time, left on Saturday for Granum, Alberta, where they commence the publication of a new paper. While regretting to lose them in the Boundary journalistic field, their many friends wish them every success in their new venture in sunny Alberta. They have been succeeded in the management of the Times by Noyes & McDonald, Greenwood, who have engaged Ed. Rowlands in charge of the mechanical department. Howe-Wilson On Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock a pleasing ceremony was performed by the Rev. T. W. Hall at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mahon on Second street, when Miss Margaret Delcus, daughter of Cannon Wilson of Winnipeg, was joined in marriage to Albert Gibson Howe, of Phoenix The ceremony was witnessed by the mother and brother of the bride, besides a few special friends. The wedding breakfast was all that could be desired. The young coupie left on the southbound train, through the Arrow lakes, en route to Phoenix, where they will make their home.���Revelstoke Mail. THIEVING SUSPECTS IN POLICE COURT They Are Committed for Trial at Greenwood Mike Basta, Steve Basta and Joe Matich, the three Austrians gathered in last week by the police on the suspicion of being prime movers in the mysterious disappearance of general dry goods from clothes lines and other articles too numerous to mention, ap peared before Magistrate Hood on Monday. Mike's sleeping quarters were in a room at the Old Ironsides hotel but he claimed association with other pals, whose rendezvous until arrested was in a cabin near the C.P.R. city terminal. A search of both places revealed a profusion of lace window curtains, white bed spreads, a wholesale supply of eggs, cargo of baking powder, and a supply of hardware arid tools sufficient to outfit any mechanic. When deposited at the local police office the majority of the plunder was identified by citizens who claimed ownership. The charge of theft was lodged against Mike Basta and at the preliminary hearing six pairs of lace curtains, found neatly stored under the mattress of his bed, were produced and identified by witnesses as the identical articles which disappeared from the clothesline of the Brooklyn hotel on the night of May 31. His Honor committed Mike, who is to appear for trial at Greenwood before Judge Brown. Steve Basta, a cousin of Mike's, and Joe Matich, charged with having stolen goods in their possession, were committed for trial at Greenwood and admitted to bail. Later, on complaints of sureties that they intended leaving town, these gentlemen were re-arrested and sent to Greenwood. A saloon keeper was reported for gambling, and on confessing guilt was fined $20. A transient was arrested Wednesday evening on suspicion or vagrancy, and was dismissed with caution. | W. P. Tierney, C.P.R. contractor, and his son, J. B. Tierney were in town Saturday evening. On Sunday morning they drove over the proposed route of the branch from Hartford Junction to Central camp, and consulted with Engineer H.B. Walkem in connection with the profile. Mr. Tierney's steam shovels are now repairing C.P.R. roads in the Kootenay which were damaged by the recent floods, and when that work is completed, some time next month, work will be commenced in constructing the line as far as Wellington camp. The road for the first three miles is already cross-sectioned. The survey party, under the direction of H. B. Walkem, which has been located near the Jackpot for some weeks, moved their camp several miles south to the City of Paris mine this week. Travelling Engineer Pine of Vancouver was in town Monday evening with Superintendent Allan Purvis and Trainmaster J. A. Cameron of Nelson in their private car consulting with Engineer Walkem in connection with the new railway.*"'- -.r ~~--���.-���..-��_* : toumtmrj Ore Sblpacats The ore shipments from Boundary mines for the past week and year to date follows: Week Granby mines. >9i54> Mother Lode.......'. ....

"Lever Brothers, Toronto, will send you free a cake of their famous Plantol toilet soap, if you mention this paper. (By I'. W. Traphageii Denver ) A new device or process in metallurgy is sure to arouse interest, particularly if it promises to have any great influence upon commercial enterprises already in existence. In the absence of reliable information regarding these innovations it is inevitable that descriptions and predictions more or less colored find their way into the press. The Fink furnace has not escaped the sensational reporter and the public has not been very descriminating in accepting reports, most of which were published without authority. As far as I am aware, Dr. Fink himself has been very cautious in giving out information or in making predictions. Notwithstanding his caie, many ridiculous statements have been published.' As an example of what the public has been treated to, I may cite the following quotation: "Some of the things that are accomplished by the smelter are: Four or five men will operate a 100-ton Fink type of 'smelter, while the ordinary plant requires fiom 20 to 30 men on u shift; , high-grade copper matte is produced in 20 minutes, bullion in one hour; it does away with the freezing of furnace charges; by a single operation, blister copper or copper matte may be produced; sulphur and flue dust are utilized to inciease the heat; no fumes detrimental to vegetation escape from the stack; oil, slack, wcod or sawdust can be utilized for the heating of the furnace; it will treat silver, gold and lead ores as readily as copper; in time it may pave the zinc dalues; ore can be turned into matte at a cost of 50 cents per ton; a 300-ton plant can be built for something like $45,000." In connection with the last item in this list of virtues it is interesting to note that the cost of ihe Washoe " smelter, Montana, was about $9,500,000. " The process, in brief, consists in a roasting and smelting operation carried on in revolving ^cylinders not unlike Biuckner roasters. These cylinders are mounted in pairs and so arranged that they may alternately act as roasting vessels or as smelting and converting vessels. By means of stacks at the outer ends.of the cylinders, provided with suitable dampers, the course .of the heated gases may be varied. Between the cylinders is a combustion chamber through which the fuel is introduced, and through which the heated gases also pass o'rf~their' return" from the smelting to - the roasting chamber. Movable tuyeres of iron pipes, the ends of which are protected by chrome brick, may be introduced through, the | ports, and at the proper time inserted I blast furnace plant. beneath the matte for convening it into blister copper. The heated gases from the roasting chamoer escape directly through the stack, arid for this reason the sulphur and iron oxidized can scarcely be useful as fuels as they are in a McDougal furnace, where the charge on the. upper hearths is heated by the rising gases on their way to the flues. The ability to roast a very considerable quantity of concentrates at a time is limited by the size of cylinder commercially possible, and this, in,turn, limits the quantity of matte that may be produced and converted in a single cycle. The slag is likely to be higher in copper than that produced under present practice, because the process involves constant motion of the charge, which would tend to carry particles of matte into the slag and keep them suspended therein. On the other hand, the large rever- beratory furnaces in use today afford every opportunity for prills of matte to separate out, and as a result the slags from those furnaces rarely carry more than .4% copper. Add to this the fact that the calcines are produced without the use of extraneous fuel and are charged hot to the reverberatories; that the escaping gases are further utilized for steam raising by Stirling, or other.t'ypp, boilers place! in the flues; that even the ashes are jigged before going to . waste; that the matte goes molten to the converters, where during its conversion it is treating siliciotis gold, silver and copper ores contained in the converter, and you have a metallurgical process that comes close to ���perfection. In modern copper blast furnace treament use is made of the sulphur and iron contained, at least just as successfully as in the Fink furnace. Notwithstanding these facts, if tha Fink furnace is demonstrated to be'.'.capable of doing what is claimed for it by the conservative element; if structural details are solved and manipulation placed on a basis permitting the ordinary smel ter man to operate it without undue difficulties, then it has an important place. This; place is in : the isolated camp, where fuels are expensive and where oil is cheap (powdered fuel has already been abandoned, I understand); where because of high . freight rates and "excessive-treatmenr~charges"the process -will succeed, if at all; but under the conditions prevailing in the great operating copper smelting centers it can scarcely compete with a -well- conducted reverberatory furnace or ���ywnriffnritfnr��ritrmmmiiFnri��f��"tfmwmwi?fmwwK jfe This is the Largest and Newest Hotel in the city, heated by Eg ^ hot water and well furnished throughout for the accommodation =3 ��f of the public.

Naturalization A Vancouver paper says the greatest avalanche of applications for naturalization in the history of the county court of Vancouver rolled in upon Judge Grant Monday. They numbered over 350. Of these about 70 succeeded, being in tbe form prescribed by the act. The others were given until June 26th.to- substitute the affi davits of "natural born" instead of "naturalized" Canadians or British sub jects required with the application. Practically all of these came from Vancouver's German and Italian colonies. Brill ait Rossland Student E. H.

MINING 1 I ��� O The directors of the Le Roi Mining company have made the necessary1 financial arrangements for carrying on a scheme of extensive exploration and development work. The finding of a ledge of gold-btar- ing ore assaying from $25-5�� to $25^ per ton from random samples from surface outcroppings is reported from Pemberton Meadows,* near Lillooet lake, So miles from Vancouver. The Eva mine at Camborne was bonded to American capitalists last week. Eva has been a shipping mine for ten years. A 60-ton concentrator and 10-stamp mill are located on the property. The ore is mostly free milling, about 20 per cent being base. About $250,000 has been taken in gold bricks. The Western Canada Coal company, owners of the Taber mines at Taber, Alia., have made application to the minister of labor on Saturday to appoint an investigation board to inquire into the strike at their mines. There are about 200 men affected. These mines have been idle since April 1, but the Coal Operators' association. Alderman Deane contemplates a renovation of his popular restaurant in the near future.

Track Laying at Keremeos The extension of the V.V. & 11. west of Keremeos, which has been looked forward to for so long by towns in the Similkameen, is about to commence. Last week a track-laying machine together with full track-laying equipment and a gang of men arrived at .Keremeos and it is now believed that it is a rmtter of but a few days till actual track-laying will begin, as the road, with the exception of bridges, is ready for the steel. The grading has been completed to Princeton, but whether the steel will really be laid further than Medley this fall is a matter of conjecture. Colonization of North That the Grand Trunk Pacific will start work immediately on a colonization scheme to attract settlers to the lands in the valleys of the northern interior of British Columbia to be traversed by the line of the G.T.P. is the announcement made by W. P. Hinton, general passenger agent of the company. The company is now securing all available particulars of actual agricultural operations in the Nechaco and other valleys for use in a campaign, which is expected to attract thousands of settlers by the time . the line is in operation. The railway company has a building of its own at the A. Y. P. fair, and will have a very attractive ex- hinit and information bureau. G. N. Head-on Collision Three trainmen met death and five persons were more or less seriously in jured in a Great Northern wreck near Burrard station, Bumaby Lake, on the 1 ith inst., when the Seattle flyer running at 40 miles per hour crashed into the outbound Port Guicbon train in a headon collision.

WORKING DAY AND NIGHT AT RUPERT With Barely One Hour of Darkness, Contractors Employ Two Shifts on G. T. P. Prince Rupert, June 14.���Since the advent of the long summer days again the working forces along the construction work of the Grand Trunk Pacific have been greatly increased, much better progress is being made and the work on tbe first hundred miles of the road is being hurried to completion. With good daylight until 11 o'clock at night and with barely one hour of darkness, most of the contractors have increased their forces and are now working day and night gangs. The weather up the Skeena has been ideal for railway construction, and contractors from Copper river report but two or three days' rain since last February. High water in the Skeena has damaged the grade in several places, the banks being washed out, and cribbing that was being built and filled with rock to protect the roadbed from the swift currents had been carried away; but unless an extraordinary high rise in the water should occur no serious damage will be done, and the construction work will not be retarded.

Templeton as he was beginning services in the Presbyterian church at Vancouver last Sunday. "Until the style changes, I will ask the ladies to kindly remove their hats. Tlie hats are now so large that they interfere with the ision of the persons sitting behind them," he continued, then gave the number of a hymn, which was sung. When he again stood, ready to begin his sermon, he said: "There are two in the audience hid by one hat, but if they desire to move they may." Two young ladies, wearing monstrous "merry widows," accompanied by their swains, got. up and left the church. "This is the fust time that this has occurred, but when it comes to that it shows that they are exceptionally stubborn," continued tlie minister, and then began bis sermon on "Sin in the Camp." Buster's Philosophy.���tXXIII. Resolved, this disease of growing old is a nuisance. I'm going to stay young as long as I can, cultivate enthusiasm and keep interested in everything nice. "Unless you become as little children you shall in no wise enter the kindom of heaven." That's easy to see. Children are honest, they are temperate, get the big sleep, love one another, love nature, they believe things, have faith and trust. Isn't that enough to make them happy? Happiness is the kingdom of heaven. The blase, old, selfish, conceited glutton or miser can't get into heaven because he has walled heaven 111. with selfishness. The eye of a needle is a subway compared to his chance of being happy. N.E. LINSLEY ON QUEEN CHARLOTTE COPPER Expert Who Made Original Report on Granby An examination of various copper- gold properties in the Oueen Charlotte islands has just been completed by N; E. Lindsay, of Spokane, one of the best-known mining engineers in the west. He paid special attention to the Swede group, which is owned by Jo- hann Wulffsohn of Victoria. "The surface showings in the Queen Charlotte islands are excellent. Generally speaking, the mining outlook there is favorable, but thus far there has been very little development. A few years ought to make a change. Mining conditions comprising lime and iron, timber, waterand transportation are ideal," said Mr Linsley while in Vancouver. This may be regarded as a very high tribute to the district, as Mr. Linsley is very conservative. He had the honor of making the first report on the group that now constitutes the famous Granby mines at Phoenix. Years later he also wrote a report which resulted in the listing of the shares of the company on the Boston stock exchange.

Howevor, Prrana generally brings re lief, whether the catarrh is acute or chronic If you are wise you will keep Peruna on hand and take a few doses at the first appearance of a cold or cough, and thus perhaps save yourself both suffering and expense.
