[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.

P A S H I O IN A The comments of the Pioneer from time to time on the splendid indications for a mine at the Athelstan claim in Wellington camp were confirmed this week by the British Columbia Copper company making its initial payment on the purchase of the group of claims in Wellington camp, upon which it took a six-months' bond last September. The first payment was made on Thursday and amounted to nearly $10,000, being ten per cent of the bond, which was in the neighborhood of $100,000. During the past six months the company has had a dozen or more men under Harry Johns, developing on the Athelstan property, and it is under stood the prospects for a b;g shipper have surpassed expectations. When seen by. the Pioneer yesterday/ J. E. McAllister, general manager of the company, stated that there was a large quantity of ore on the dump at the Athehtan property and that the only ���hihderance to commencing shipping at once was the lack of railway facilities. He also stated that the company was in a similar position witlT its Cenlial cam p properties. In the latter camp the.company has 300,000 tons of ore in sight, but there is no way of getting it to the smelter. Mr. McAllister said he had been communicating with the C. P. R. re the constructing of a spur line, but had not received any definite word as to : the plan being carried out. The proposed spur would branch off from the main line of the railway below Hartford Junction, and passing through Wellington camp conl tinue to Central camp, which lies in a direct line to the south. The spur will require to be about nine miles in length, but the grades are said to be compar atiyely easy. .While such a��� spur^wil undoubtedly cost the railway a large sum of money, the B. C. Copper company have a promising line of business for it. At Wellington camp the existence of a large body of ore has been demonstrated in the Athelstan and this is only one of four claims which the company has just purchased, while at Central camp the showing is even better, with the immense amount of ore already blocked out. It is to be hoped the C.P.R. will see its way clear for the early construction of the spur The making of the first payment in a mining deal of such importance at the present time by one of our most progressive companies speaks volumes for mining in Phoenix district. In the face of the di7couriging copper market and the more or less temporary cur tailment of mining operations, the B. C. Copper company, whieh has made such a splendid showing during the past nine months, is stretching out and acquiring more properties and thus evincing; its faith in the resources of the district. To Phoenix the commencing of active work at Wellington camp should mean much, as all supplies will go from here. When operations commence business locally should correspondingly increase. The properties purchased are the Molly Piilchard and Athelstan fraction, from John Buckley, Phoeniv, and Forbes M. Kerny, P. L. S., Grand Forks; the Jack Pot, from James M. Doyle, assistant superintendent of the G. N. R., A I. Sanderson, of Phoenix, and Larry Mararity, of Grand Forks; and the Buttercup from John J. Far- rell, ot Phoenix. A .stamp mill is shortly to be erected at the Jewel mine. The machinery for the mill has arrived at Eholt. A small mill has been built on the west fork to treat second-class ore from the hi^h-grade mines around licaverdell. At the Bruce mine where a tunnel is being driven to tap surface leads at a depth, some fine looking ore has been encountered. The B.C. Copper company have been curtailing their force at Mother Lode mine. A .number of men on development work have been laid off. At Hedley a force of men have been put to work'repairing the flume to the Daly Reduction company's stamp mill, preparatory to the resuming of operations at the Nickel'Plate mine about April 1st. " The compressor at the Snowshoe mine will start up again next Tuesday. A full force of men will also be employed and machines put to work. Recent shipments have been cutting in on the reserve supply of ore. The Victoria Colonist reports, that the Granby company has bonded valuable copper properties on Moresby, Island, owned by Hugh Cameron of Grand Forks and others. The initial payment has been made on a $100,000 bond. ' . '..;'.'.=' : \y\ Trie value of a car of ore shipped last week from the new Republic mine, near Grand Forks, totTacoma smelter is estimated at $11,006 to $18,000. Three samples taken from the Bonanza chute assayed $6,570, $36,860 and $51,540 respectivelyV - We have advised;;subscribers to.go into the new reorganization plan of the Old Dominion Copper company because we believe that the company's mines are valuable, and we feel confident that if money is supplied as the reorganization plan provides, that they will be made to earn a net profit on the investment.-���Boston Commercial.. At the Phoenix Amalgamated development is beingteraporarycurtailed. A large amount of ore has been blocked out and the tunnel for shipping purposes is about completed. The corn- are now awaiting transportation facilities to commence shipping ore to the Trail smelter. Off&iJs of the C.P.R. went over the proposed route of the new spur last week and work on its construction will begin as soon as the snow goes off the ground. LOMTtlNEL AND TRAMWAY Scheme on the Tapis at Greenwood Richard Armstrong Asks for Bonus of $50,000 Boundary Side Lights STRONG COUPLING SAVED PASSENGERS Narrow Escape of Boundary- Train Saturday Night Passengers in a car of a C.P.R. train from the Boundary to Nelson had a miraculous escape from death on Saturday night. One passenger car and the baggage coach went off the track on a trestle-bridge on a sixty feot canyon 59 miles from Nelson. The passengers state the car turned toward one side, rocking as if likely to fall from the bridge and be smashed to scrap in the hollow beneath. Fortunately the fire man observed the car going off and threw on the emergency brake, stopping the train in a few yards. Beyond one or two bruises, the passengers though delayed, suffered no injury except to their nerves. Superintendent Purvis went out immediately to see about the transfer of the passengers to another train. Both cars were found to have been kept from falling merely by the couplings toother cars. The train was travelling slow! speed, The accident is believed to have been due to the curve, GRANBY PRODUCTION ANDPROSPECTS Boston News Bureau Gives Summary ot Company. Replying to a query on the Granby Consolidated the Boston News Bureau says: The indications are that Granby will not pay a divedend for the present quarter. Its last dividend of $2 per share paid Dec. 15, was not designated as a "quarterly" payment. The previous dividend was paid June 30, 1908. Granby last year produced 23,639,- 984 pounds of copper, the largest out put in its history. At the present time ii is probably producing at the rate of about 25,000,000 pounds per annum. The cost after crediting gold and silver values, is now about loj^f cents per pound of copper, so that on a 13-cent metal market, the earnings are only slightly in excess of $4 per share on 135,000 shares. Granby'is steadily putting itself in position to benefit more and more by an advance in copper prices. The smelter is being enlarged, and by next May its capacity should be 5,000 tons of ore per day, which comnares with 3,200 tons at present. Officials are figuring on an increased copper output this year of 25 to 30%. The question of the payment of dividends is of course insepaiably linked with the price realized for copper. On a 25,000,000 pound reduction, at present costs, ��:ve y cent advance in the price of the metal would mean increased profits equal to nearly $2 per share on the 135,000 outstanding shares. Considering the present discouraging condition of the copper market, however, it is impossible to ef-timate when the directors will feel justified in declaring another dividend. Colkdlnf Mineral Sample* R. L. Broadbent of the geological survey Department of Mines, Ottawa, is on a trip through the Boundary and Kootenay, gathering specimens of ores, etc., for the Alaska-Yukon Pacific exposition at Seattle. After the exposition the specimens will be placed in the national museum at Ottawa as a permanent display of the mineral resources of Western Canada. The different boards of trade throughout the interior have taken up the matter of assisting .in having their districts properly represented with ore samples.

Richard Armstrong, the , prime mover in the Greenwood-Phoenix long tunnel scheme, arrived in Greenwood a few days ago and states that he is prepared to proceed with the work of the tunnel if satisfactory anangements can be made with Greenwood city council and property holders. Mr. Armstrong has succeeded in interesting capital in the east and now solicits the co-operation of the City of Greenwood for the carrying out of the tunnel scheme. On behalf of the Green wood-Phoenix Tramway company, limited, Mr. Armstrong has written Greenwood, city council as follows: "I hereby offer and undeitake to construct an underground tramway! from the City of Greenwood to the limits of the City of Phoenix, for carrying of ore, the said tramway to stait withiii the limits of the City of Greenwood, on or near the Nelson mineral claim. ���; . r "In order to.carry out the constiuc- tion of thesaid tramway, I would ask and suggest that the corporation of the City ot Greenwood bonus said undeiv taking to the extent of $50,000 of bonds to be payable as follows : $15,- 000 when said tramway .is completed 3,000 feet fiom its portal; a f'rther $15,000 when it is completed $6,000 feet from its portal; a further $20,000 when it is completed to a point under the limits of the city of Phoenix." At a meeting of the council on Monday evening, Sidney S. Oppenheimer and 63 other petitioners, representing one-tenth of the total value of real property in Greenwood city asked the council to introduce a.by-law "to raise upon the credit of the corporation of the City of Greenwood a sum not exceeding $50,000 to assist in the construction of an underground"'tramway to tap ore bodies under, between or adjacent to the cities of Phoenix, and Greenwood, and carry said ore to Greenwood." The city solicitor was instructed to draft an agreement in accordance with Mr. Armstrong's proposal In return for the bonus from Greenwood it is expected the money will be returned in wages of employes. A Phoenician gathered buttercups on the West Fork last Saturday. The deed for the new postoffice site at Grand Forks has been taVeri up. Gieenwood hotels have been instructed that bars muit be kept closed tifjii on Sundays. JrfT Davis & Co. will erect a two- storey brick block, 100x60 feet, in Grand Forks.

R. at Midway, is now with the PLAN TO BE CARRIED OUT Whether Shareholders Come in or Not Holders of 92,000 Shares Have Deposited Their Stock Phoenlx-Eholt Branch There is evidently a hot time in store for Mr. C. E. George, the dowr.- east travelling-man, who in last week's issue of the Pioneer gave an account of his experiences on the trip from Eholt to Phoenix. We have received all kinds of letters from C.P.R. officials and also from residents in the district who assure us that Mr"; George must have been in a dream or a nightmare, probably recovering from the previ us night's high old time, and consequently what he saw, or rather thought he saw and the conclusions he drew, can easily be accounted for. Numerous protests have also been made against the reflections made on the honesty of officials and travelling public. One of the train crew has assured us that Mr. George is entirely wrong in his reasons for the ore cars being between the tender and the "pullman" and that such is their faith in the honesty of the travelling public and themselves that even were the tender laden with gold instead of coal they would have no hesitation in plac ing it next the "pullman." We would advise Mr. George the next time he visits Phoenix to travel either by stage 01 by the other railway, as one of the officials whom he ad dressed by rattier an approbious epithet has him spotted and intends mak ing short work of him if he ever can lay his hands on him. HARDY'S STORE AT MIDWAY IN ASHES Destroyed With Contents Early Thursday Morning. The general store of Hardy & Co. at Midway was burned to the ground at an early hour Thursday morning. The fire broke out about r a. m. and the entire eleven thousand dollar stock went up in flames. Two weeks ago fire was discovered in the same building but was put out after some $250 damage had been done. Two inspectors of insurance companies were in Midway this week adjusting the hiss of the blaze, one of whom was in Midway at the time of Thursday's fire. Tin; origin of the fires is a mystery, but it is thought in be the work of an incendiary. Since the previous fire the firm had been carrying on business in another building. C. N. R. at Humboldt, Sask. J. L. White has returned to Greenwood from Vancouver and is again in charge of White Bros, drug store. The license of the. Granby hotel, Grand Forks, has been transferred from John Temple to Fraser and Russell. The Dominion Railway ^Commissioners have ordered the C.P.R. to install an electric bell at its crossing near the Kettle river at Grand Forks. Joseph Olivier Bedard, father')of Rev. Father J. A. Bedard, of Greenwood, died at his home at St. Eugene, Ont., on March 6th, aged 89 years. The C.P.R. are said to be going to have five gangs of surveyors and timber cruisers operating on the Columbia and Western land grant this summer. The Coryell ranch at Grand Forks, consisting of some 900 acres, was sold last week to Peter Veregin and associates, who have already taken possession. Mr. and Mrs. Currie White left Greenwood last week for Alberta, where they will reside in future. Mr. White was in the drug business in Greenwood for eight years. Peter Baucher, who left Phoenix three years ago to prospect around Cooalt, died near there last week. He was 46 years of age and had only been married two weeks. .���_:Green wood Ledge. Cleve Newman, the Bridesville bandit who was caught in Seattle and brought back to Greenwood last week, was given a hearing on Friday, and sent up for trial at the spring assizes. He was taken to Nelson on Saturday to await trail. Stockholders of the Dominion Copper company holding 91,000 shares of stock, or nearly one-fifth of the total, have deposited their stock and subscribed for the new income bonds \on the basis of $100 new bonds for each 100 shares of stock held, says a despatch from Boston. At a recent meeting of Greenwood Board of trade the following officers were elected: President, E. G. Warren; vice-president, J. A. Russelj secretary- treasurer, F. W. McLaine; council, J. E. McAllister, H. Bunting, C. J. Wilson, J. P. McLeod, D. Mcintosh, J. Mcintosh, J. T. Beattie, W.T. Hunter, T. M. Gulley and H. F. Stow. The Greenwood Board of Trade represented by J. P. McLeod before tbe Dominion Railway Commissioners at Nelson, opposed the application of the V. V. & E. railway for authority to build a branch line to Myncaster in the Boundary district. The application was refused. The importance of this decision lies in the fact that the railway, though ha ing the spur constructed, cannot legally make charges for carrying freight or passengers over it. I The reorganization committee already has deposited between $500,000 and $600,000 of the $800,000 outstanding bonds. /The so-called protective committee is understood to control $110,000 bonds. ���- i --There has been more or less'talk of late regarding opposition to the present plan of reorganization of the Dominion Copper Co. The present plan, however, will be earned put. Over $500,000 out of $800,000 of bonds .have already been deposited under the plan? The property will be advertised for foreclosure at the proper time, and nothing would please the bondholders more than to have either the shareholders or some outside party bid sufficiently to pay for the bonds' principal and accrued interest, to say nothing of taking care of floating debt which comes after that and in which the bondholders have no concern. The principal criticism of those opposed to the present plan is based on the fact that they have paid $5 or $6 per share for the stock they now hold merely to find it worthless. The present plan proposes an entirely new management, which shall endeavor first to develop and improve the mines and see if sufficient tonnage can be proven to warrant the commercial operation of the property._. If the bondholders take the property they would naturally have to raise working capital for development and equipment Under the present plan of TeoTganizatio^ ~ supplyiug that capital, are given bonds, which come ahead of everything else, for the amount of money raised. The bonds are convertible, so that they have a right to share in the success of the company; and they also get- 20% of the property, represented by new stock. It is immaterial whether any shareholder comes in or not, as the plan has been underwritten. Examination of the accounts of the old management do not reveal anything to be criticised other than an error of judgment that many other mining companies have made in equip- ing a property and trying to produce copper at a volume which cannot possibly be maintained with the low grade of ore treated, and with a management that neither had the experience nor ability or working capital to obtain the same low costs that have been obtained by its neighbor, the Granby.

S Investor of Boston Deals With Culmination of Tumble ���Dissenting Bond and Stock Holders Oi ganize���Analysis of Reorganization Plan If you had originally invested $950 in the purchase of 200 shares of Montreal and Boston Copper Go. in 1962 and now-having since that time persistently followed and cooperated in the devious -manipulated transformations of your company, with the result that you were the owner of io shares of stocks-.in/.the "Dominion. Copper Co. worth 3 cents a snare in the market, you would be inclined to be indignant if it were now seriously proposed that you give them $10 in new money for the purpose of saving the 30-cent rem. nant of your investment, says a the United States Investor of Boston. This in maximum and minimum is the tale of wbe of the investor who bought 200 shares of Montreal & Boston Copper C, Ltd., at the top price of 45C in 1902 and now finds himself the owner of 10 shares of Dominion Copper Co., which is in the hands of a receiver, and whose proper:y is about to be sold in foreclosure on account of the default in payment of interest on the $800,000 of first mortgage 6 per cent bonds outstanding. This bit of history explains why there developed this week determined and vigorous opposition to the proposed reorganization plan of the Dominion Copper Co. on the part of the holders of a large majority of the outstanding stock, and of a substantial amount of the bondsand the consequent formal organization by them of a protective committee not only to safeguard the present interests of dissenting security holders, but also to make a searching investigation of the past history ofthe enterprise in order to ascertain the disr position1 and use of the many millions which have been put into the property; which property, regardless of these expenditures, the self-constituted reorganizes now intimate has only a doubtful and inconsiderable value ���An:analysislof the announced reorganization plan considered with due regard to the past history and the present status of the property would seem to amply justify the protesting stock end bond holders in the attitude they have taken. The reorganization plan is savagely drastic, inequitable, indiscriminating and arbitrarily presumptuous in its exactions. The general idea seems to be that the stockholders shall furnish $500,000 of new money needed to organize a new company and furnish capital for its operation. For this $500,000 it is planned to give the stockholders a ten year unsecured note of the new company, upon which not even the interest will be paid unless it is earned. The stock of the new company has sold this week at three cents a share, and on this basis the total market value of the 500,000 shares outstanding would be the sum of $15,- 000. In other words, the holder of 500 shares whose investment is now worth only $15 is asked to contribute $500 for the purpose of resuscitation, and for his $500 he^gets a new security at par which in the market would be surely quoted at considerably less than par. This is surely sending good money after'bad with a vengeance. The present holders of the first mortgage 6 per cent, bonds are asked to exchange each $100 of bonds for $105 of new stock. Such an exchange seems to be a new departure in the line of organization "practice. ��� First mortgage bondholders: have been accustomed to taking a junior lien, but the idea of having no lieri at all, and simply taking some stock, the future value of which is-entirely a-matter of speculation; naturally isvnot��very attractive. In any event, it does not appeal to the small bondholder who is hot within the select circle' which has dominated the company for many years. It is evident, however,' that quite a large proportion of the bonds are in the hands of people who have figured out the situation in this way." They think that there may be some value in the property but do not care to put any more of their own money into it. They accordingly ask the stockholders who are to-day practically wiped out io put up all the new money necessary. For this new money for a period of ten years they may receive no interest, but at the end of the ten year period, if the property has been developed to a paying proposition, they will then get their money hack, but the control bf the property will be in the hands not bf the'present stockholders, but ol the bondholders who have supervised the operation, and used the present stockholders' money to develop the enterprise. The reorganization committee admits its lack of knowledge as to the value of the property, and the possibilities of its future successful operation. Even 'though they have had experts examine it, and have had for many years opportunities to acquire full knowledge, they frankly state that they do not know whether it would be advisable to invest any new money or not, hence they require depositing bond and shareholders to permit them, in case they decide it is best, to sell the property at private sale at a minimum price of $800,000 ���from which, of course, would have to be conducted the compensation ofthe committee and all other expenses. Thh in effect, is an option for an indefinite period on the property at $800,- 000, in the hands of the reorganization committee; and several protesting stoak holders,say they know that 'at various times bids amounting to approximately $1,500,000 in the aggregate have been made for different portions of the company's property. All depositors of stock and bonds under this plan are required to make these deposits without any power of recalling them and they are required to constitute the members of the committee their absolute and irrevocable attorneys, iu fact to do any and everything in the premises which they may deem desirable. The statement is made that the intent of the agreement is to vest in the committee full authority to handle the interests ofthe depositors in every way possible, and by such means as the committee may determine. Title to all the securities deposited is vested in the committee, and the committee has power to hypothecate them to borrow any sums of money needed. They have the power to any of the*"Jdepbsitor8,'' ahd'shall'De conclusively deemed to have fully accounted for all moneys and securities that may have'come' into his hands with the sole provision that each member of the committee shall be separately liable for his own personal will ful fraud or misconduct, but not otherwise. It would therefore seem that ii the president of the depository bank was on friendly terms with the committee, and this would naturally,. he the case because they have employed his bank for that purpose, the committee will have no difficulty in having'any account they render promptly approved and made binding on all depositing security holders. ' One very significant feature of the reorganization is the uncertainly about the underwriting. The statement is made that the plan has been underwritten, but several and repeated requests for this underwriting agreement, however, have been invariably met with a polite but firm refusal. In the agreement which depositing bond and stockholders made,"there is no mention of any underwriting agreement. The presumption of course, is that there is such an underwriting agreement. When the secretary of the committee was asked what conditions or circumstances were necessary to make the underwriting binding, he stated that' that was entirely in the hands of the committee, and that when the committee declared the underwriting plan operative, then it became operative and only in that event. When asked if the underwriting would be effective if only a very small proportion of the stock was deposited, he frankly stated that it would not, and he would not state as to the amount of bonds or the amount of stock which would have to be deposited before the underwriting would be binding. It would seem then that underwriting is a very indefinite and intangible affair. 'In the circular announcement accompanyingthe agreement with depositors, the only statement made was that the cash requirements of the plan "will be underwritten" and that the underwriters would receive for their compensation $60,600 worth of stock. Of the $800,000 bonds outstanding, the statement is made by the committee that over a7 majority have been deposited. Now in the event that the committee decides that not enough bonds and not enough have been deposited to make the underwriting agreement binding, -the people who have deposited their securities may be in a peculiar situation, and many of them feel that they have made their deposits under a misapprehension of the facts because if the underwriting agreement does not go into effect they nevertheless have deposited their securities, and there is no provision for them to get them back, and their are certainly many who would not have deposited their securities unless they had believed that an underwriting was an assured fact. On Tuesday evening of this week, regardless of the downfall of rain, about too stock and bondholders of the Dominion Copper Co. met at'the Hotel Grenoble, New York City, in "tain"ample','iVuii. l to al.riiitciested." ' Tlie'priVteclivo committee held its first meeting Wednesday, nnd prelimi- naryisleps'wcrc taking toward the for*, mationofa new 1 (.organization plan, the selection of a depository, and the submission of the plan for the approval of bond and stockholders., The lime for deposit of securities under the original reorganization plan expired on Thursday of this week, but it is understood that, the titae for deposit of;securities will /be extended. This is quite probable in view of the substatial opposition which has developed. A Boston member of the protective committee states that hi: has one party Who is willing and able to 'contribute $400,000 to a syndicate for'ilie purpose of bidding in ihe: 'pnipery.'if 'necessary at the foreclosure sale." Tbe New York membeis of the committee say that they will have no difficulty 'tn" .furnishing, the balance of the money necessary so that if a sale of < the property occurs, the bond and shiueholders associated with them will ne- protected. This feature of the case is of vital interest to the bond and shareholtieri who have: hot deposited their securities with"the Boston committee, and who have feared that, unless they made a deposit of their holdings, and in the case of stockholders agreed to subscribe for the new income bonds, they were placing themselves in a position in- volviog a total loss. The protective committee,'however, authorize thestate- ment thai no ootid' or stock holder need have any such fear because they propose to protect all security holders, and are now in a position to assure the safeguarding of tneir interests.

He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and bnchache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering.

Seldom have we read anything icore pathetic. Here, for example, is a letter from a physician in Creeinore, Ont., asking for the admission of a,patient by the name of Morrisi <n. He says :��� "I would like to urge Hlronglyupon you, the great claim.-" ol ?bia patienU He has no home���inotlirr rtfiul���father working as a farm lubori-j.

" I am a young married man, twenty- three years of age.

My lungs are affected, and I urn writing now to see if you can got me into the Muskoka Free Hospital for Gonsurnp- Uvea. My young wife is here, and her parents have kindly opened tho'i doors to her if I go away." Just one more of the many we might quote. This is from a physician in Oampbellford, Ont.

We have sometimes thought that if Ian MacLaren. who has given to us the character of Dr.: Mcplure, were alive to-day that in letters such as these he would find material for a book more touching arid? pathetic in many, parta than his Bonnie Briar Bush. It is on behalf of cases like these, of which there are , scores reaching the Secretary of the Sanatorium every week, that the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives makes its. appeal to-day for funds.
