[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.

SOCIALISTIC IDEA WAS INTRODUCED Wan) Ibe Government to Open and Operate ibe Vacant Coal Lauds in East Kootenay for Ibe Benefit af the People. After all that has been written- and said about the coke and coal supply to the smelters aud other industries oi British Columbia, and the coal land reserve held by the government in East Kootenay,, tjie.jnunicj|)a!.,,cpuncil of the corporation of tlie city of Phoe nix comes forward with the. idea that the government open and operate the coal fields itself. The resolution to this effect was passed at this week's meeting of the city -.council, the' text being as follows: Whereas, the-mining and smelting of metalliferous ores constitute othe primary industry of Southern "British Columbia; and1 Whereas, a plentiful and cheap supply ol coke is indispensable to that industry; and Whereas, many low grade properties now lying idle could be profitably operated if cheapei luel for smelting were available; and Whereas, the Crow's Nest Coal Company is charging an exorbitant price for its coke; and Whereas, theie is great danger that, if the Dominion government were to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the coal lands still held by the Crown in the Crow's Nest pass, they would be absoibed immediately 01 ultimately by the .Crow's Nest.Coal Company, which would eliminate competition and all chance of cheap coke; Therefore be it resolved, that the Dominion government be respectfully requested neither to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the coal lands still held by the Ciown in the Crow's Nest pass, but to hold them in perpetuity for the benefit of.the whole people of Canada, and. to ;deveIop.said coal lands and opeiate coke ovens under government management, thus furnishing the smelting industry of British Columbia with coke at the lowest possible price; and creating a great increase of commercial activity throughout the province by the opening of low grade bodies of ore which cannot now be worked. ' PHOENIX MINSTRELS ARE ALL RIGHT. Appearances Indicate Really Meritorious P<p formancea. Rehearsals ol the'Phoenix Minstiels, both'musical and otherwi;��e, are being steadily 1 anied oil by ijie' membeis, frdiii one to three times aiyeek, and the impression is gaining, ground among unbiassed iudges that the j)er- formances whiilf' this company will give in about three weeks will be really meritorious.

ADDITIONAL MACHINERY IS ORDERED Several Alterations In Present -BaiMlifa Will Be Made���Heavier Rock Crasher - and Sampler Being Made. .->.'.' May Sell Gold< n Eajle. At a special meeting of the shareholders in the Royal Victoria Gold Mining Company, Ltd., owning the Gc.lden Eagle, near the Volcanic, on the north fork of Kettle river, held ' at Greenwood last Friday to consider ihe advisability of disposing of the company's property to a company with ample copital to work the mine, the necessary authority was given the management, to take such action. Nine- tenths ol" the shares were represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy. The Golden Eagle some time ago shipped to the Gianby smelter about 15 tons of high grade ore, values of which were chiefly in gold and silver. Phoenix Ping Pong Club. ��� Phoenix has at last succumbed to the seeming inevitable, and has organized a ping pong club���so as to be. in the swim, as it were. The club was started on its way Inst Thursday even ing, and held its first meeting at the club room, in the Bank block that night. There was a good attendance, and there are now 15 names on the membership roll as follows: JR. B. Boucher, P. C. McArthur, J. F. Hemenway, O. N. Galer, O. B. Smith, J. Strutzel, N. Slack, F. White, A. B. Morkill, Jas. Marshall, S. Coulton, L. Y. Birnie, XV. R. Williams and A. G. Simpson. 'l'he club largely ows its being to the energy of A.G. Simpson, who was most active in getting it up. The club room, which was provided by the kindness of William ������ Yolen Williams, lias baen comfortably fitted with the needed furniture and paraphernalia, and many more or less exciting games have already been played. The sample mill of-the Sunset smelter (formerly Standard' smelter) at Boundary Falls, recently purchased by the Montreal &;Boston Copper Company, is being dismantled, preparatory to putting in a larger plant. A No. 5 Gates rock crusher and a Bridgeman sampler have been ordered and a larger engine than the one previously installed has been purchased, and, with the other new plant, will shortly be received at the works. Much of the sampling plant at first put in will be used, but it will be supplemented by the heavier 'machinery. Nothing definite has yet been announced as to the company's intentions in regard to the furnace already built, but it is anticipated that whatever betteiments are required in this department of the new. smelter will shortly be taken in hand. Alterations and extensions of the buildings and the erection of additional ore bins are among the improvements that will be made. With so-much to do to get the works in proper shape for continuous smelting on a sufficiently large scale to make it pay, it appears unlikely that the fumaccwill be blown in before next June. Organ'zed lo Grand Forks. John Riordan, district organizer of the Western Federal Labor Union, visited Grand Forks Wednesday, and that evening organized a branch of the union in that city. Over 85 names were added to the roll that night, with as many more applications to join. Tom Lawrence was chosen as the first president, with M. P. Trask, secretary. The Waterloo. The Waterloo Consolidated Mining & Milling Company, Ltd., has been registered as an extra-provincial company. Its nominal capital is $125,- .000, in 1,250,000 shares at 10 cents each. Its head office is in Spokane, Wash., and its office in British Columbia is at Camp McKinney, with Patrick H, Graham as its attorney. Wednesday's meeting of the city- council was remarkable for the variety 'of^ subjects considered. The topics ranged all the way from a pest house to the coke and coal supply for British Columbia. Those present were Aldermen' Marshall. McRae, Rogers, Mun- roe and Graham, with James 'Marshall occupying the mayor's chajr. A letter was read from the provincial secretary, stating, that the government approved of the' licence commissioners appointed, being Alderman Munro and judge ;W. R. Williams. But nothing was said about the. police cohimisssioners, and the matter was dealt with by'resolution later on,in the meeting. Wm, G. McMynn, government agent at Greenwood, wrote in regard to the proposal, brought to the government's attention some weeks ago by the Phoenix Board of Trade,; for the erection of a pest house half; way ���". between Greenwood and Phoenix. The proposal now made is that the city of Phoenix should pay one-third of the cost of its erection, and the city of Greenwood and the government the other two-thirds, the total being estimated at about ji,"5'dp.7~r'fie" matter was laid over, Ally Wait ��� Dollar Each. :..A.Jetter was read4from_ J.7 Fred at Hiime, of Nelson, in.regard to the tourist association lately organized in that city, for the purposa of attractieg travel to the Kootenays. The letter suggested.that there might be a number of those sufficiently interested to contribute a lonesome dollar each for the good of the cause, which is the advertising of the scenic beauties in the far east and elsewhere, thereby attracting a desirable class of travel to this section, The council, however, seemed to be more interested in getting the needful dollars for running the city, and the matter was not taken up at this time. The finance committee reported favorably un following accounts, which were ordered paid: J. B. Macaulay, $12; Hunter-Kendrick Co., $1.50; Greenwood Electric Co., $24; Geo. Rogers, $4. Resolution Re Immigration. The following resolution was passed: Resolved, that the municipal council of the city of Phoenix respectlully requests the Dominion government not to spend any more of the public funds in .assisting immigration into Canada. The city health officer was requested to analyze the water of Marshall lake, and to request the Phoenix Water Supply Co. to furnish pure water for the use of the people of Phoenix. It was decided to hold the"court of revision in the office of G. W. Rum- berger, April 26th, at 2 p.m.,and that notices of the same ba published for one month in the B. C. Gazette and in the Phoenix Pioneer. A resolution was also nassed asking the government to give the Boundary, two members, the full text of which will be found in another column, as well as one in regard to the coke and coal supply. Hungry Seven Were Downed. Tuesday's game of hockey between the Granby Hungry Seven and the Knob Hill Coons resulted in an ignominious defeat for the Hungry Seven, who were taken down the line in one, two, three order by the colored gentlemen. The game was refereed by Chas. A. McClung, and as was ev- pected was fearfully and wonderfully played. The Hungry Seven fought manfully, and the battle for the puck raged hard and fierce, but the Knob Hill Coons were too much for their opponents, and the score resulted in a total of 10 to 1. There were a number of casualties during the progress of the games, but none of them resulted seriously or requiied the attention of the clubs' surgeon. BOUNDARY LACROSSE LEAOUE. Grand Forks Clnb Reorganized lor Ibe Coming Season. At one of the largest attended in et- ings of its kind ever held in Grand Forks, ihe Lacrosse Club of that place w.is itoiganized for the co.ning heason la t Wednesday evening, when the following officers were elected for the season: President, Lloyd A. Manly; 1st Vice-President, Geo, A. Fraser; 2nd Vice-President, A. M. Dunham; Cap- t.iin, I-'. W.Grant; Sec.-Treas., Arthur O. Cochiane; Executive Committee, K. C. McDonald, A. E. Savage, A. C. Henderson, E. Miller, W. D. Betts. It is hoped that a Boundary League can be formed, including Trail, Rossland, Nelson, Phoenix, Greenwood and the local team, and that a schedule of gaines, extending over the greater portion of the season can be arranged. WANT TWO MEMBERS Boundary Is United On Subject. the Last Masquerade Carairal. Thursday evening the last masquerade carnival of |he season was held at the Phoenix^skating rink, the ice being in good condition. Music was furnished by the Phoenix Citizen's band, and the merry maskers enjoyed themselves for several hours. The committee on prizes consisted of Messrs. Drever, Clark and Carson, who awarded them as follows ; Best ladies' costume, Miss Rhena Summers, Best gentleman's costume, James Jenkins. Best girl's costume, Miss Agnes Pierce. .Best boy's costume, Gus McAuliffe. Best clown, Ed. Birnie. Men's race, Mr. Clark. '-' Boy's race, Lawrence Macaulay. Girl's' race, Cora Graham. PHOENIX RESOLUTIONS WERE PASSED Grand Forka Board ol Trade Also Falls In Line aad Scads Word (o Ihe Govern- Meat lo tbe Same Effect. BOUGHT BUILDING Vernon & Nelson Co. Will Make Improvements. 10 OCCUPY THE OLD BANK BLOCK Will Metallic the System In Phoenix, aad May Lay 3,000 Feet ol CaMe-Also la Other Boundary Towns. G.C.Hodge, district superintendent and foreman Irwin, of the Vernon & Nelson Telegraph Co., were in the city Wednesday, making plans and arranging for the betterments the company will undertake in Phoenix in the near fmure. Hodge stated that the local office bf the company would be moved to the new, location recently purchased, which is the building formerly occupied by the Eastern Townshius Bank on First street. It is probable that some 3000 feet of cable will be laid in the city, and it is the intention to have all the lines metallic circuited, thereby giving a much improved service. But little can be done before the snow goes, and the improvements will probably not be started for several weeks yet. It is the intention of the company to make the service first class in every respect, and to this end metallic circuits will be established in Greenwood and Grand Forks also. In regard to redistribution there is but one sentiment in the Boundary- country, now that it seems probable that a general redistribution bill may be passed at Victoria. And that is that this section is entitled to two representatives in the local legislature. The city council of Phoenix has passed strong resolutions on this point, and forwarded thein to the government, and the Grand Forks Board of Trade did the same thing this week. Doubtless Greenwood will also fall in line for the same purpose, if it has not already done so. The following are the Phoenix resolutions: - Whereas,- the Grand Forks and Kettle River mining divisions have a white population numbering between 6,000 and 7,000 people; and Whereas, after deducting Indians and Asiatics, the whole population of the province does not exceed 140,000; and Whereas, in view of these facts, it would be a great injustice to give only one representative in the provincial legislature to Grand Forks and Kettle River mining divisions; be it Resolved, that the Municipal Council of the City of Phoenix respectfully requests the provincial legislature to give two members of the legislature to the said Grand Forks and Kettle River mining divisions. Wired lo Smith Curtis. At a largely attended special meeting of the Grand Forks Board of Trade held this week a strong resolution urging the provincial government to grant immediately as a measure of justice two representatives to the Boundary district in the provincial legislature was adopted. The resolution sets forth various reasons why independent representation should be granted, notably- laying stress upon the large and rapidly- increasing population of the district and its enormous contributions to the provincial revenues. In accordance with the resolution E. Doberer, president of the board of trade, then wired Smith Curtis, the member for the Boundary as at present included, requesting him to bring the matter to the immediate attention of the government. Public sentiment throughout the Boundary on the question of increased representation is very strong. Social Evening Next Tuesday. Don't miss the social evening at St. Andrew's Presbyterian church under the auspices of the Christian Endeavor next Tuesday, iSth inst., at S o'clock. It will be dirTeient from the usual entertainment'and will be of the nature of an "at home." Crockinole boards and various games will be in evidence, and the famous ping-pong will be another attractive leature of the evening. The games will be interspersed with music, recitations, etc., and refreshments will be served, all for twenty-five cents. r-,:' '-��� v ;-\, - -TT. ^7' ���**<���* ^\iV ���: ..> . ;*j-.v CTiTW -nr "# .*w* ���* I .1 J ��� -4,.. *.

" l'he price is hound to rise again. I low high will it go? Any one can speculate on that point as effectually as 1 can. However, I may point out that there is a shortage in. the production of copper all over the world, and ihe world's production of the brown metal is not growing as rapidly as the demand. That would indicate a prospect for steadily belter prices. "During,the Januaiy past, for instance, the production of cojiper in this country ,was 16.4 percent, below the production for January of 1901. The,exj)orts, on the other hand, showed a gain of 50 jier cent, over those of the same month a year previous. The figures were possibly affected by the decline in the price of coj.per, which may have curtailed production and certainly furthered the export bus iness. Nevertheless the ffigures but illustrate a condition which copjier men re.-ognize���the supply of copper is not increasing as rapidly as the demand. "We are satisfied that the present temporary depression will be fully made up when the market recovers its normal standard. The demand is such lhat copper should be worth fully i6ji or 1 7 cents." Read the Pioneer for district news. I0qv,fl flOOD |.V LONDON. Confiilppci; in fr.-'i* Her ('e Jlcnndary Al MS. The fall in the, price of copper would it was ilu't.yht at .'iisi. pics so heavih on the niine owners in H. C, more especially on the Bouudary projierties, which are known to be working at a very small inargin of profit, lhat it was feared the mines might be closed down. It is, therefore, very satisfactoty to lead statements such as we published last week from Mr. Cam|>bell-|ohnson,'and in a recent issue from Mr. Paul Johnson, the , manager of the Greenwood smelter. Tlie foiiner wiiter goes so far as to clniih lhat copper can be produced in British Columbia inoio cheaply than in any other part of ihe continent, mid Mr. Paul Johnson, wl o has achieved a record in copper smelling, believes that copper can he pro duced in the Hotindary distiict at .-i cost of 7 V<S cents n pound, which, coin pared with present p.ice of is',4 cents, leaves a substantial margin for fuithei depreciation, There is no doubt lhat by operaling the Houndaiy dep(��iis, which arc. of great width, on the open quarry sys'em, and handling ihe rock by sieam shovels, the cost of extraction can be reduced to n minimum, and already, owing to the experience of metallurgists like Mr. Johnson, aided by the unusual fltixibility of the ores, copjier smelting is today carried on probably at a smaller cost than anywheie else in the western hemis|ihere, so there is little cause for a|>|.iehcnsion in regard to the luture of this district.���H.

Should Make It Net. The meeting of the Associated Hoards of Trade at Kalso last week did good work. The Dominion and provincial authorities should have no hesitation in giving effect to the resolutions. The projiosition to amend the levying of the mineral tax by making it jiayable on the net returns of the ore will remove the objections to the tax. As matters stand the tax is subversive of one of the first princijilcs of economics in that it is imposed on the cost of mining as well as the value ol ihe oie, and is thus a direct tax on the emjiloynieiu of labor ���Kootenay Mail.

Posii'ONCD the Show—Prof. Kir- chner, who had decided to give an entertainment here Thursday evening, owing to the last masquerade skating carnival of the season coming on that date, postponed his appearance till the 19th, next week Wednesday. Relieved The Strain—This week the Pioneer received a shipment of paper from Toronto, which has been on the road (or weeks. The threatened stock famine, hanging over this gie.it family journal for some time past, is thus averted, much to our relief. ■ - • • 'i Irel.\nd's Patron SAiNT-*-Mon- day evening a ball will be given at Phoenix Miners' Union hall by the union, in honor of Ireland's patron saint, St. Patrick. The event'will be of the masquerade order, and as^ the best of music has been engaged, it, will .doubtless be well attended the company tiavelling in its own car, and having ,28 people, all colored. The company appealed in Rossland early this week,, and heie is what a Rossland paper has to say about it: "Alpacked house greeted the Queen of HaVti company last night and witnessed one of the most pleasing per- foimances ever seen on a Rossland stage. The comedy abounds in catchy songs, laughable situations, witty sayings and ;funny dances. New popular airs, rag time and plantation songs weie all rendeied. The choius woik of the company was firjt-class. If Rossland is lucky enough to continue booking this kind bf atti actions the town will regain it's formei reputation as a good show town.,The public can always be depended upon to pationizea good show."
