[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.

For months negotiations between the officials, of Several important companies have been going on, notably with the Snowshoe, the British Columbia Cop per Co., the Montreal and Boston,, the Morrison, and the Dominion Copper Co. Up to this'week,,however, there were no tangible results to report.' Now it is given out that the "Morrison Mines, Ltd., and the Montreal and Boston Copper Co. shareholders have at last gotten together, and have formed a strong company, with the likelihood of taking in some other important mines of the Boundary before they get through. According to a circular just issued to the stockholders, of the Morrison Mines, Ltd., the entire assets of that corporation have been sold to Andrew Laidlaw'forthe sum of -$24,1.66.76. This is at the rate of two cents a share bri the 1,208,338 'shares outstanding. , The stockholders of. the \ Morrison Mines who care to sel}. their, shares for two cents can get that price on presentation to the company's office in .Spokane; that is .on .stock on which the assessments have Jpeen paid^! ..-.������.Through the courtesy of Andrew I,aidlaw any' stockholder in the Morrison Mines who does not care to sell his shares has the privilege of exchanging his stock in the ,Morrison Mines for stock in the Montreal and Boston Consolidated Mining- &' Smelting Co. at the rate of 30 ten cent shares of Morrison for one $5 share of the Montreal & ; Boston Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. This company was recently formed in; Ontario, Canada, with $5,000,000 capital with 1,000,000 shares of $5 each.. :'���':��� The property now owned by this company includes the Sunset, Crown Silver, C. O. D.; Florence, ���' Morrison and one half of the Little Buffalo, and also the smelter plant of the. Montreal & Boston Copper Co., at 'Boundary Falls. .The smelter has '; been in active operation for the past eighteen months and had.two furnaces in operation up to the middle of December, and the third one is on the ground. The company intends adding a fourth furnace and a converter /plant, .which will enable it to smelt 1,500. tons of ore per day. The amount of stock required to acquire the above property was 340,000 shares, leaving'a balance of 660,000 shares, or $3,300,000 for buying of properties or making the intended improvements in the smelter, and building a spur to the. Morrison mine. It is understood that a meeting ot the directors of the Dominion Copper Co., Ltd., owning the well known Brooklyn and Stemwinder group, in this camp, was held some time this week in Toronto, and that a proposition for joining the Morrison-Sunset merger came- up for consideration, and some think for favorable action. In and around Greenwood there are a considerable number of Morrison shareholders, .who .bought into the the company on a basis from six to twenty cents per share, previous to or immediately after the reorganization of that company a couple of years or more ago. It is hardly necessary to state that they do not feel any too well pleased at accepting two cents for their shares. Consequently, they will probably take shares in the new corporation in exchange for their present holdings. Many of them, also, have paid one or two assessments on their shares. Just what the Snowshoe people will do about consolidating does not seem to be known on this sido of the water now that the Mother Lode-Snowshoe amalgamation has not been carried through. But it is pretty well under- Four SlfMl Boxec Collected With tbe No. I . SfcfJ(t^oMe." This week Gedrg^. t,...

It consists of four large, bright red signal boxes, located as follows: No. i, Old Ironsides avenue, near Dominion hotel; No. 2,-Cor. Knob Hill and First; No. 3, Cor. Dominion and Phoenix St.; No. 4, Cor; ^Dominion avenue and Banner St. Each box has - a telephone-^ instrument and all are. directly connected with the Granby mines shafthouse No. 1, where the whistle' is located. For the present the same code, of whistles which has been in,-use for the'last three years, will be iised, which is as follows: For Granby works, three long whistles, repeated; for Upper Town, three long whistles and one short, repeated; for Low;er, Town, three long whistles and two short, repeated. The system while-simple, will doubtless be found of the. greatest practical value whenever it may be needed, and the city officials wish to impress the fact that anyone found tampering with the signal boxes .will be given the full limit of the law;when brought before the police magistrate. The contract for the system was $ioo, the rental price of the signal boxes being $1 each per month���a good investment; for the city. About four miles of wire were put up in making the connections.

ANOTHER BOUNDARY RAILWAY. Has Being on But as Yet (he Line Only Paper. Railways to connect in some way with the Boundary country seem to offer many attractions to railway promot- ors, and in the last few years enough have asked for charters to provide each present shipping mine in this section with from two to three separate railways apiece'. They all seem to have their eye.on Midway, also, as the connecting point with the Boundary, the Similkatneen arid farther" western points to the coast: It is a poor year when from one to half a dozen of these projects is not sprung on an unsuspecting public. Evidently there must be something worth having in rail way. promoting. The latest scheme of this kind is called the Boundary, Kamloops and Cariboo Central railway, which is modestly asking for powers to incorporate and build from Midway to Okanogan Lake, Kamloops, Hazelton, and on into the Yukon, with a branch or two to strike over into the Similkameen. The notice of application does not, bf course, state who the promoters of the scheme are, but they will doubtless be before the parliaments for a subsidy before anything substantial is done. Great Northern Officials Here. The first Great Northern passenger car ever seen in Phoenix came in over the C. P. R. tracks on the passenger train last Thursday. General Manager Morgan, of the Spokane Falls and Northern railway, a branch of the Great Northern, and some other Great Northern officials, accompanied by Mr. Frank W. Peters, general western freight agent, and H. E. Macdonell, of Nelson, freight agent for the Kootenay- Boundary, both of the C. P. R., were the occupants of the special car. The C. P. R. does not provide special cars for its freight department, it seems, and Mr. Morgan thought he would take a run over here from Nelson to see the greatest copper mines in Canada along with the C. P. R. men. The special car was switched to the Knob Hill ore crusher, and the occu pants spent a little time looking over a part ofthe workings and machinery of the Granby mines, after which their c^r was sent down the hill again.

A few days ago two horses, or rather a horse and a mule, were loaded on the cage at the No. 2 shaft of the Old Ironsides mines, and lowered to the 300-foot level of that property, where they are used in hauling ore cars at that level of the mine. The stopes are growing so large and the drifts so long at this level of the Granby group of. mines, that some more expeditious method had to be utlized than the old way of handling the ore cars by. hand power. So the equines were sent down into the depths for that purpose and it is not expected that they will ever come up the shaft again. They will probably be brought but by way ofthe new. No. 4 tunnel, which is steadily being driven to connect with the 300-foot level. Work on the No. 4 tunnel has been going on without interruption for many weeks, and the face of the drift is about 230 feet from the portal, or under Knob HiU avenue. The work ol drifting from the inside workings of the mine is also being prosecuted, the distance between'the two headings being not more' than' 500 feet. ; It is thought by Supt. Williams that a connection may be made in two or three months, if all goes well. The tunnel is being driven on an incline, of five per cent, this being necessary in order to reach the outlet near the Presbyterian church. When the No. 4 tunnel of the Granby mines is., completed, it will give a nearly straight distance of about 2,500 feet, from north to south, at this level of die mines, and opening up another way for getting out an im- mence additional tonnage of ore at the mininum of cost. Nearly every foot of the 2,500 feet of drifting referred to is in ore of a shipping grade. QPAND FORKS WIDE OPEN. Public Meeting Called lo Discuss Gambling Proposition. Recently, after a year or two of inactivity in that line, gambling has been permitted in the city of Grand Forks, and the matter is being taken up by the ministers and other citizens. Last week a committee of ministers waited on Mayor Jeoffry Hammar, and asked him to close gambling and the saloons from Saturday night till Monday morning. Mr. Hammar did not give the committee much satisfaction, and a public meeting was called for Tuesday evening of this week to take action on the matter. The meeting is reported to have been largely attended, W. H. Creitz occupying the chair. Speeches were made by the Rev. J. R. Robertson, Rev. J. F. Betts, ex-mayor Martin Bur rell, J. B. Morgan and H. C. Hanning- ton, and all in turn severely criticised the present administration for alllow- ing the city to be run wide open after having had the evils about stamped out. A strong resolution was adopted censuring the mayor and police commissioners for allowing gambling to start up again and calling on them to put the wheels of law in motion and stop it without further delay. After the meeting a Citizens' League was formed to further push the matter if necessary. About 200 citizens were present. A St. Patrick's day masquerade was given at Eholt Thursday evening, there being a large number present, and some attending from Greenwood and the North Fork. Next Wednesday, March 23d, the Venerable Archdeacon H. Beer, formerly vicar of Kaslo, who has been recently appointed to his present position, will visit Phoenix for the first time, when service will be held in St. John's church at 7:30 p. m. On the Dynamo the tunnel is now in about 125 feet. The shaft of the Ladysmith, about a mile below Anaconda, is being pushed. The work of driving the long tunnel on the Blue Jay is still being continued, At the Fife lime quarries shipments to the Trail smelter are being made steadily. A force of 100 men is now steadily employed at the Mother Lode mine in Deadwood camp. George R. Caldwell, of Brandon, Man., has secured a judgment ot $9,- oi2 against the Golden Crown Mines, Ltd. . . ,.__ . Roderick and Mclnnis are steadily working at the lengthening of the tunnel on the Summit claim, Summit camp. Foreman Trevorrow is the sole employee at the Snowshoe mine. Water is beginning to come up pretty well in the deep workings of this property. The force of men at the Elkhbrn mine, Providence camp, has been increased to 17, and the shipments continue to be at the rate of about 60 tons monthly. New work is to be undertaken at the Oro Denoro, Summit camp, next month, which is expected to increase the tonnage of ore to 200 or 250 tons daily. The mortgage for $160,000 register- eed last November against the Dominion Copper Co., in favor of the National Trust Co., of Toronto, has been satisfied. It is reported that the final payment on the bond on the Gold Bug, taken over by Greenwood men a few months ago, has been niade, and that the mine is looking well. It is said to be a not infrequent sight to notice either one of the Davenport locomotives, at the Granby mines, taking out a string of 20 or 25 mine ore cars ofthe type now in use. A large part of the new work at the British Columbia Copper Co.'s smelter is completed, and awaits the arrival of the converter and other new machinery ordered some months ago from the east. The first board of directors and officers of the Southeast Kootenay Coal and Coke Co., will be held at Grand Forks next Monday. The shareholders were formerly known locally as the Grand Forks coal barons. < Work has been carried on all winter in the Dykehead claim, near Cascade, on the shore of Christina lake, and owned and worked by Kelly and Forsyth. It is said that the showing of copper ore is excellent and is improving with depth. Ore from the Providence, one ofthe many high grade mines near Greenwood, is now being sent to the Trail smelter without sorting. The force of men now numbers between 35 and 40. During the winter the main shaft has been deepened from the 183 foot level. This week an important find is reported to have been made in the long tunnel at the Emma mine, Summit camp, where, according to reports, some of the best ote yet found in that property has been encountered at a distance of some 450 feet from the portal. This week the first of the lot of the j xi ten-ton steel ore cars, ordered last December, arrived at the Granby mines. They were manufactured by the Wonham-Mogar Engineering Works, of Passaic, New Jersey, and are the latest and best style of mine ore cars, it is needless to state. Supt. Williams of the Granby mines, states that the C. P. R. is giving the best of satisfaction in ore carrying, notwithstanding the handicap recently of many drifting snowstorms. Agent Clarke, of the C. P. R. in Phoenix,. states that, as a rule, the 20 or 25 car ore trains are sent but to the smelter within five minutes after the arrival of a train of empties in the local yard. Organization of the Spokane Boundary Mining Co. in Spokane was'recently chronicled in the Pioneer, the capital being $100,000. This company will take over the well known Last Chance mine, located two miles from Phoenix, in the high grade belt. The property is well equipped with machinery, and in the past has shipped some ore, but for the last four years has been idle. Work is expected to be resumed on this property as soon as all the details of the new organiz ation have been completed. Had aa Exciting Experience. Alex Strachan, who returned a few days ago from a three months visit with his brother in-San Francisco, had an exciting experience on the "trip back that he does not care to go through with again. He was a passenger on the steamer Queen, from San Francisco to Vancouver, on Which fire broke out at 4.30 . a. m., one morning when the vessel was off Cape Flattery. There were 208 souls on board; and the lives of 15 were lost, some byvburning and some by -being lost in the sea. Mr. Strachan went to work with the passengers and crew, and in four hours the fire was out, after doing about $100,000 damage. -The fire burned through to the steel bottom of the vessel, and.was supposed to' have started from a defective electric light wire.' ���"':��� ''��� Are Preparing To Build. Rev. J. H. White, superintendent ofthe British Columbia missions for the Methodist church,, spent two or three days in the city this week,; and attended the joint special; meeting of the quarterly official board of the local church, Rev. J. D. P. Knox, of Greenwood, presiding. The, chief business that came before the meeting was the advisability. of proceeding with the proposition, for the erection of a church home. While the matter of a site has not been definitely settled, it has. progressed to that point where the Methodist people feel warranted in going on with the raising of the necessary funds for building purposes. This is Rev. Green's last year here, before he returns to college, and he expects to have the new building completed and occupied before he leaves. Agent Clark, of the C. P. R. in in Phoenix this week added another clerk to the office force! J. L. Graham. The increase has long been needed, as the force has been working from 12 to 18 hours daily. Some of the pre-emptors of crown lands, who have been g iven notice by the government thet they must pay up by the 15th of April, think that it is a great hardship. There are cases where not a cent has been paid for years, and it is probably on this account that the law is being enforced. BOUNDARY ORE TONNAGE.

If any one can inform us of what use it is to the government to have the privilege of appointing the police and license commissioners for incorporated cities in this province, will he, please arise and explain ? .The, government gets no revenue nor prestige from this source, but on the contrary , is constantly in the position of making enemies for itself through appointments that are not as recommended nor as desired. . One has but to glance at the newspapers of the province to note that this year particularly, for various reasons, many, of the appointments have heen anything' but popular.

Such a state of affairs is'unknown'" there���the government has no hand in such .appointments, and thereby avoids one cause of friction within its own ranks. ! The people at large, in each incor Reduction lo Ore Freights is Favorably Commented On. The Canadian Pacific Railway com pany is essentially a businesslike organization and its affairs are conducted on strict business principles. Here is a case in point: Copper-gold mining is iher backbone pf of the mining indus; try in southern liriti&h Columbia. The future of the country depends largely, almost"entirely in fact, on the successful development and utilization of the copper-gold resources of Kootenay and Vale, the mineral occuiring in deposit-* large as to extent but containing a very low percentage of uiluable material per ion of ore. For some years past ore of this character has bet-n mined. It has now been demonstrated that it can be produced at a profit, but in any case the margin of profitable operation is narrow, and consequently it is essential that the strictest economy should be exercised in producing and treating the ore, and further that these operations should be performed on the largest possible scale. In the Boundary district these requirements have long been realized, and .mining engineers and metallurgists have been most successful in meeting and conforming with them, so that today the costs of mining and smelting in the Boundary have been reduced to a degree that a few years ago'would not have been considered possible. It follows, of course, that as production costs decrease ore of a still lower grade value becomes of commercial account, and the available tonnage is thereby increased. The C. P. R. Co., then recognizing this principle and co-operating with the efforts put forward by mine operators in the districts, has announted the very material reduction of "jyi cents per ton in freight rates on the carriage of ore from the mines at Phoenix to the smelters at both .Grand Forks and Greenwood, the present rate being but 30 cents a ton to those points. As ore is now being shipped at the rate of about 15,000 tons weekly from Phoe nix, the saving to mine-owners of $1,125 a week, or about $60,000 a year on this output is a very considerable item and should undoubtedly exercise a Aery stimulating effect on production. Again another evidence of the railway company's farsightedness is found in the reduction that has been made in freight rates on ^inc ores."'

THE FIGHTERS. - The- following compari-on of the fighters in the far east is out of the ordinary, and is worth remembering: The Japs have a little country and are land-hungry. The Russians have the greater half of all Europe and Asia and are land- surfeited. The Japs are concentrated. The Russians are. spread out. The Jap is "an islander and seafaring^ a naval as well as a land-fighter. The Russ is a landlubber, but 'a plodding fighter. The Jap is fighting in his own back yard. The Russ is fighting five thousand miles from home. The Jap is a teetotaller. ..The Russ is a hard drinker. '1 he Jap has short legs. The Russ has long ones. I The Jap has the sympathy of the Englishman, of the Yankee, of most of civilization. The Russ has few friends outside cf his country, has incurred the just hatred of the world-wide Jew.

G There are signs that good times are hot far off in the Boundary. Three or four years ago, when everyone "was making n!(jney,liere,,itvvas not an uncommon thing for sonie impecunious chap or chaps to collect all his accounts, pay nothing, and leave the country for its aiid his or their good. Of course, merchants. "got: next" to such gentry in due time, and it was not so easy to work the little game. Then dull times .-came alonj>, and credits generally, as is usual in quiet times, were cut down to the closest notch, and for a year or two last past, comparatively speaking, the merchants had few bad accounts on their books. -^ ;,_,.. _., ;- ,.r. ' A couple of smooth fellows, who formed themselves into tlie firm of ���Greenwood & Knapp.came into Phoenix a few weeks ago and started a small laundry-.. business. > One personal ac- (|iiaintance guaranteed, their board bill, another the rent, and severalnierchanis give a small line of credit. One of thcin had been in aimp before, and was pretty well known (here. It now transpires that they collected every cent they could, paid absolutely no bills as far as can be learned, and left between two suns, leaving their - friends and creditors sadder but wiser men. Other towns will,do well to.bear them in mind. As we remarked above, this would appear to be a sigh that good times are coming ibis way. . *�� ' Mayor Riimberger has received acv knowicdgemeni from Hdn.'J- H.Turner, agent-general of the province at London, ,Ei)gland, ,Qf��� the,! receipt of 150 copies of the Special /-Illustrated Issue of the Phoenix.l!ion<tr���-.rec��nt!y publishcdibeinga complete description of Boundary mines,aiid smelters. 'Mr. Turner states that lie will be pleased to distribute the,issue where.it willdd the most good. .'''''. ; . Speaking bf that issue, it is of interest lo note the wide distributionthat it has " leceived., Not ;���;���'' only have England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales received a goodly number, but copies have gone to the Yukon; the Pliillipines, 'China,'France; and many other portions of the civilized globe where.the English language is spoken or understood. If the comments, reprinted in these columns from the outside press in regard to the usefulness of that issue, are fair���and they are so much of one a!c- cord that it cannot be doubted ��� that issue will not fail to do good for the Boundary in many a far off clime where idle capital is looking for legitimate and profitable investment. "* The matter of press privileges, says the Vernon, News, is one that does not seem to be very well understood in Vernon. This is a matter that an editor scarcely likes to deal with, as so doing places him very much in the the position oftlie dunner, admittedly an unpleasant one. And yet when the public rejieatedly ignore what are undoubted rights, he may perhaps be pardoned (or pointing out wherein they are amiss. It is the custom everywhere, (or ut least wherever the considerations which we shall mention are realized) to furnish the press representative with complimentary tickets giving him the entree to exhibitions of all kinds that may be held within the sphere of his paper. Nor must tbe granting of these tickets be regarded as in. any sense a favor. It is not that the editor has been picked out as one to be particularly honored or complimented. It is not that any doubts are entertained as to his ability or willingness to jiay his own way. It is simply recognized that those who profit by any entertainment for which admission is charged, whether it be a hockey match or a concert, are directly benefited by the write-up, which the paper gives of the event. They thus offer the ticket as in some sense a quid pro quo. They see that it is to their advantage to have the affair written up, a little reflection convinces'them that it is bard enough upon the editor to have to attend everything that comes along, without paying for what in most cases has ceased to be a pleasure, and the press ticket custom follows as a matter of course.

'���Upon the recommendation of personal friends and many strong testimonials as to the efficacy of Peruna In the treatment ot the numerous symptoms of the grippe with which lbave been afflicted for four months past, I have been Induced to undergo a treatment with this Justly celebrated formula. 1 feel a decided change for the better after using It only one week. It is especially good in toning up the stomach and has had a decided effect upon my appetite. 1 therefore feel much encouraged that I am on the road to complete restoration. "My numerous friends In Texas, where! have had the honor.to command a brigade ot ber Veteran Cavalry in a four years' war, may accept this voluntary testimonial to tbe merits ot Peruna as a sense of obligation on my part for Its wonderful efficacy."���W. If. Parsons. ��� There is no remedy in the world: that meets tho conditions produced by la grippo better than the remedy, Peruna. Peruna, strengthens as it renovates, soothes -while it stimulates,' heals as it expurgates. Peruna is not a purgative, or cathartic, or sedative, or stimulant, nor a vegetable or mineral poison. It reaches tbe soarce of all ilaesam of th�� maeoua membranes by its actio* on the vaao-motor system of nerre*. Erery person who has had la grippe during the last year should take a coarse of Ferana. No one need expect perfect recoyery unless they do so. The gripps has produced <��taxrhal inflammation of the -whole mucous membrane, and good health Is Impossible until these are restored to a normal condition.. This Peruna will do. A great many remedies hare been suggested fox this cosv- dition from time to time, but Peruna appears to be the only/ remedy that has any substantial ralue In these eases. It has nerer failed' to giye satisfaction during forty years' experienoe and still occupies the unique position of being the leading (if not the only) specific rem* edy for the after-effects of la grippe. Henry Distin, the lnrentor and maker of all the band instruments for tee Henry Distln Manufacturing Ox, writes the foUowing from. 1��1 South Ninth street, Philadelphia, Pa.: " I had a bad attack of la grippe last December which lasted more than three months, and which left me with catarrh, and several of my friends advised me to try Peruna.; I began with a bottle the first week in March and it certainly did me a great deal of good. I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle and followed the directions, and can say that it has cured mo."���Henry Distin. ; If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full! statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratia. . Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O.
