[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.

TAKING AFFIDAVITS FIRE, LIFE AND ACCIDENT PHOENIX, B. C. The British Columbia Copper company produced 558,190 pounds of copper in January, compared with 250,717 pounds in December The precious metal yields gave a total of 1746 ounces of gold and 8405 ounces of silver in January, compared with 1216 ounces of gold and 3811 ounces of silver in December. La-* year the striking miners in the west Canadian coal .fields-tied up operations most severely, although rather than shut down completely the company's management kept one furnace in operation on high- priced Pennsylvania coke. The December production was small, as but one furnace was in operation; not until February 12 was the complete battery of three furnaces blown in. February figures have, not been received, but it is expected that a still larger production than lor January, will be made. In the Voight property, which the B. C. Copper company took under option^las^ year, some important development work has been done. At a depth of a hundred feet in:a crosscut running from the shaft a very promising vein has'been found, which- was eight feet wide and carried eight per cent of copper and eleven per cent gold within the walls, and 3^ per cent copper and $3.50 in gold outside the walls., Drifting on this vein has been'continued for a distance of 105 feet, and it is believed the ore will run to depth. The character/of the ore in this vein is considerably higher thanthe average.o^the British Columbia's properties, which is t^ per cent cop- ppr and $1.10 in gold to the ton. ' l{'^'h' dePosit proves to be an'extensive one, as would now seem quite probable, it will add tremenduously to the productive and earning capacity ,qff the British Columbia companyand, also to the. value, of its stock.v rThis property, is on.the present |jne pt the Canadian,,Pacific, rail- road, .SO.,that.��p.r.e^ship.m.ents;,ftomJtcan be begun,immediately.

GRANBY COMPANY'S OUTPUT INCREASING Noted Welsh Singer Dies in B.C. Madame Kate Wynne Matthison died at the home, of her son, commercial manager of the B. C.

Manager Geo. Clothier is at pre- sent in Vancouver in connection with, plans for the future development of the Indian mines near Stewart. Work is to be resumed immediately on his return. Considerable interest has been aroused in Prince Rupert by the announcement of the discovery of a salt well at 46-mile on the Grand Trunk Pacific, close to the railroad and near the river. One gallon of water gives, a half pound of clear, white salt of fine quality. There appears to be a vast amount of this salt-bearing water and the samples of salt brought to Prince Rupert are pronounced by experts to be of prime quality. A. Carmichael, a well-known prospector of Copper river, recently arrived in Prince Rupert with news from the placer diggings oa.Gold creek. These are. the only placer Riggings, near. Prince Rupert, and are probably the only, ones in the Skeena mining division, the. next being those in the Omineca. Gold creek is. not a tributary, of the.Copper river, but empties into the Skeena four miles above the Copper. A. number of claims, have been staked on. the stream,.the most.imr portant of which are the ten to a dozen claims, that have been amal- Average Daily- Shipments 4,185 Tons���Mines and Smelter in First-CIass Shape.i; The prophecy made!! some time agothat the -daily' siiipments-from the Granby 'mine would eventually reach the 5000 tons mark, seems to be approaching realization. The quantity shipped is steadily on the increase and, every opportunity # to further augment the output is being seized. by- those in charge. The shipments for this week have already reached the surprising total of 25,112 tons for six working days, or an average, of 4185,tons per day, j being an increase over last week of 1633 tons. : The property is in ex-1 cellent: shape, and a .high standard of cellence is.maintained in all departments, new devices for expediting the extraction." of; ore being constantly added to. At the smeltei in Grand'Forks,the same, reign of progress is. in evidence on all sides.

A- PiCKAl^E? POBOX 126 The Conservative delegates, assembled in convention on Monday last in Grand Forks. The prime object of the gathering was to select a candidate to contest the seat at the forthcoming provincial elections which are to take place on the 28th of March. Great importance was attached to the meeting and a strong, force of delegates .from all parts of the riding were in attendance. The;Phoenix contingent consisted of Jas Marshall, John Robinson, VVm. Prendergast, G. Mattocks, A. S. Hood and Jos. Darragh. Jas. Marshall of Phoenix.said he had no doubt that the majority in Phoenix were quite satisfied with the past services of the sitting member, Ernest Miller, and speaking for them he thought that the Conservatives could not do better than.nominate Mr. Miller agam for another term in the Legislature. It afforded him a deal of pleasure to propose the name of Mr. Miller for the nomination. A burst of applause greeted the proposition and F. Genelle of Cascade in an -appreciative address seconded the motion which was carried with remarkable unanimity and enthusiasm. Mr. Miller was then sent for and acquainted with the decision of the convention, his appearance being the signal for another demonstration. In reply to an insistent demand for a speech, he thanked the convention for. the honor which they had seen fit to confer on.him, and then proceeded to give an account of his stewardship. He stated that he had been fully alive to the requirements of the Grand Forks riding and looked upon his second nomination as the seal of the people's approval on what he had accomplished. A resolution of confidence in the government was also carried. Thursday was nomination day in Grand Forks and proved somewhat uneventful. With the exception of the name of Ernest Miller, the Conservative nominee, there were no other names submitted, both the Liberals and Socialists having decided not to contest the riding. Alter the lapse of the time alloted by law the returning'officer declared the Conservative candidate elected. SELLING AGENT FOR THIS DISTRICT ij_.:.fc���i.AU.; Three-Cornered Fight Rossland will have a three-cornered fight and a lively time is anticipated. The Conservatives have nominated Lome Campbell as their standard bearer, while Mr. Taylor, proprietor of the Vancouver World, and a Socialist, named Casey, have been nominated by their respective parties. The scat was at one time held by J. A. McDonald, now Chief Justice of Appeal, but eventually fell into the hands of the Conservatives. Mr. Campbell is a strong candidate, having been, a resident.of Rossland for many years. Conservative vs. Socialist Greenwood will experience the whirl and excitement of an election. There are a few Liberals left over from the last campaign, but they have decided not to risk annihilation by nominating any candidate. The Socialists, however, have determined to make an attempt to wrest that seat from the Conservatives, who in turn have shown their confidence in the government by renominating the sitting member, J. R. Jackson. The return of Mr. Jackson is a foregone conclusion. Dr. McLean refused the Liberal nomination. Ground-hog coal fields, he only discovered a portion of the district, but that portion iucluded an area of 2100 square miles, containing wide, deep, rich seams of fine anthracite non-coking and smokeless coal, giving 84;4 per cent, carbon, the most suitable in the world for mercantile, marine and domestic purposes. . To Hunt in B. C. Game Warden Bryan Williams has received information that in a few days several parties of noted big game hunters are expected to arrive in the province. Among the visitors are Adolph Von Hogen one of the most.noted of German hunters, and a party headed by Lord Beauclere, a famous British lion and tiger hunter. Several American parties have also applied for licenses to hunt in B.C. Information has also been received that an American sportsman named Montgomery has purchased an island off the west coast of Vancouver Island, where he intends to breed a herd of wapita. Several of the animals are to be imported from Wyoming for the purpose. Death of a Pioneer Missionary- Father Fouquet, a pioneer missionary of British Columbia, died on Friday of last week, at Mission city. The deceased missionary came to British Columbia a little over fifty vears ago to work among the Indians. Several times his life was in danger, not only from the natives, but also from his many journeys by water to surrounding centres. He founded the first mission to the Indians at New Westminster and a year later established a second post at Mission city. 1 HEW SHIPMENT OF Semi-Ready AND Style - Craft Arrived This Week Prices to Suit all Purses Come in Look Them Over TflE PIONEER, PHOENIX, BMTI^H COLUMBIA ���J i" ;������! r'.

Up to the present you have not done your full share, and there is no British member of parliament who could come to this country, and this city of all cities and have the.pluck to tell you so. But he serves his country best who tells the truth most often, and I put it to you; the great prosper-' bus dominions overseas have not yet done their share in the defense of the empire as a whole. The trend is towards larger, heartier support from the overseas dominions towards the English navy/ which is as much to you as to your kin in Yorkshire. Don't carp at the mother country; she is doing more than her share and without complaint." ��� ���'���'���. ���������;"' - All self-respecting Canadians, says the Toronto News, felt like expressing themselves in the same way. It is nothing short of an outrage that while the people of Great Britain are spending $360,000,000 annually on their defenses and ours, we are doing practically nothing. Our resources are boundless, and we cannot with any show of decency continue to shirk our most obvious and sacred obligations. When the Borden government, after consultation with the Admiralty, brings down an- adequate naval program, it will have the * hearty support' '"of the over- , I whelming ���majority, of Canadians in ���' thls-direction; as well as in others. main indifferent for the good of humanity in Great Britain. At the same time it is felt that the dominions should continue .to pro- jijress along 'p&rallell line's, and that if;an Imperijalunion of hearts is to endure; it is * desirable that the dominions be populated by men of British" stocks Nearly $35,000,000 Surplus The direful moanings of the Liberals and their prophetic vapor- ings of predicted disasters during the last general election so far do not appear tov have materialized, much to their chagrin, and disgust. In fact, so far as the return of the Conservatives is concerned, the contrary seems to have been the case and in view of the increase of immigration from the British Isles, it looks as if the decision of the electors which resulted in the downfall of the Laurier government will yet prove the biggest advertising that Canada has ever received. In support of this the following, figures will prove interesting: The financial statement of the Dominion for the past eleven months of the fiscal year showed revenue of $120,645,616, and the expenditure of $77,145,824 on the consolidated.fund, increases respectively of $16,343,000 and $6,557,953 over the corresponding period of last year. . The revenue for the eleven months ' is already three millions in . excess of , the total revenue for last year, and the surplus for the year promises to be nearly $35,000,000. The expenditure on capital account for the eleven months has.been $27,000,000, or a million and ��� a half less than for the same period of last year.

It may be assumed, without doing violence to common sense, that.the government is quite satisfied with the Public Accounts. The government may be assumed to know how and Why the several expenditures were made, and to. believe that every expenditure can be justified; . ;But the granting of supply is the prerogative of the legislature, and the legislature has the right to know, if it wishes to, everything bearing upon the manner in which the money so voted has been expended.

' CenartlAjpsotsretC Emigration to Canada The Duke of "Marlborough, commenting on the emigration to Canada, prophesies that the movement has not yet reached its limit. The news of the success of settlers in Canada is stimulating a further flow. Australia is beginning competition with Canada, and has consequently, despatched a special commissioner to England for the furtherance of its present emigration policy. The duke states that the steadily increasing outflow of the best blood is phenomenal, to which British statesmanship can not profitably re- Experienced mother* say Zam-Buk is best for children's injuries and skin troubles, because: .

But when the cycle of drouth comes again, the Australians will hunt the placers and dig the quartz mines to pay for food from foreigners that they will be unable to raise themselves. ������.:.��� What is true of Australia is true of California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Colorado. These states have been overwhelmingly biisyt diverting rivers from their natural courses and pouring them over thirsty deserts and valleys, and raising golden harvests. But when that work is completed these same people will again dredge for gold brmine it put ofthe quartz, which is the womb: of gold between Cape Horn and Cape Nome. Canada is producing $10,000,000 in gold. Ontario will produce $10,000,000 in 1913, and Canada $20,000,000. The gold production twenty years ago was little more than $100,000,000 for all the world. This year it will be $500,000,000. Ten years hence it may be a thousand millions a year. In twenty years more it can be two thousand millions yearly. The flood tide of gold has only begun to sweep over the world. It must go on, and wages must advance under it. It is the gold output which is at the bottom of the trouble in the labor world on both sides of the ocean. The minimum wage in England and Wales is about $1,25 per day and in some districts $1.75. Wages in England are rather better for the working- man today than they are in the United States. Germany and England have felt the flood-tide of gold sooner than the United States.

"I suppose you've always been too busy to think about marrying," begaa Mrs. Cllntock softly. "1 don't suppose you ever saw a woman you'd care to make your wife." The Crane was silent for several moments. Be brought out another pipe from his pocket, tilled It with tobacco and held lt'unligbted in bis big bronzed band. "You're mistaken there, ma'am." he said deliberately. "If I'd had my own way I'd have got married Ufteen years ago." "What happened?" asked Mrs. Cllntock breathlessly. "She married another fellow." His Voice was unemotional. "Oh. ;dear, how horrid of her!"' "Not if she liked him best," defended Crane. "Did she?" "Seems', so���or. she wouldn;t cava married him."

"It 'does tieut all!" ejaculated Crane admiringly. , "Whi'ii woke, him up?" demanded Mrs. Cllntock with sudden suspicion, for she hnd detected a look of tenderness in Crane's eyes. "He wus sleep- lug like u lamb w lien I left." "I looked at him," confessed the Crane sheepishly. "1 thinks to myself, a cut can. look at n king, and 1 guess a cattleman'kin look at a.calf baby."

"Trilby was a girl," corrected the boss' wife, cuddling the baby under berr round chlii. "Did you touch'that baby, Theodore Crune?" Crane reddened to his ears. "Blame it all." he complained. "I did. If you must know. I looked nt hlrn. ma'am, and he looked so consumed cute u-lay- lng there sucking his thumb. I kissed the littlo cuss and he woke up and howled at me."

She held out the sleeping baby and-Crane bent his head awkwardly und pressed u kiss on the fuir skin. "There, he never Rtirred! He taken It as a compliment that a big busy man should want to kiss a little boy." Mrs. Cllntock's motherly eyes were full of tears us she repluced the baby In the crib und returned to the sitting room. Crane was leaning over the phonograph, awkwardly tittlug on u new record. "I found a tune I used to know." be explained without turning his head. "Help yourself." said Mrs^ Cllntock as she went but to the .veranda' to meet ber husband. She hud whispered in his sympathetic ear of the conversation she-bad hnd with the lonely cattleman and of the letter she had hastened to send to Idaho, when the strains'of the pbonograpb broke forth once more. "What's that rune?" asked Boss Cllntock. his arm around bis wife. "It's Ascber's 'Alice, Where Art Thou?'" returned the little woman. "Dick, I believe ber name Is Alice!" "You're right as usual la my safe bet." grinned the. boss, kissing' his wife,' ��� ",::':������'��� ' A week later the boss' wife flew down the hill toward the bunk bouse, where the Crane was eating a solitary supper.

As Wah Lee. skipped squealing into the kitchen Mrs. Cllntock' thrust a rosy face inside the door. "Can I have a cup of coffee?" she asked breathlessly.; "Yes. ma'am!" cried the Crane, setting n chair for ber and yelling for the coffeepot. When be had placed bread and butter and cold meat bo- fore her and filled a steaming cup she looked at him nppcalingly. "1 bope you won't be mud at roc for what I've done," Bhe begaa. "1'va meddled with your affairs." "What hatf joo done?-.' - naked Crane unsuspectingly. The worst sue catgut do. he thought, -would be to surreptitiously darn bis socks, as she bad been wont to look after the Loue Bull boys before the tyrant baby'came. "Was her name Alice Thorp?" asked Mrs. Cllntock excitedly. Crane stared, and a red'flush stained bis bronzed cheek. He nodded grimly. "It was." , f "And she married a man named Weed?" Again be nodded, and she saw Interest in bis gaze. "Well, I took the liberty of wrlflng to my cousin In Antelope, and she says Mrs. Weed is a widow now and has returned to Antelope to live with her-fatber. who Is an old man." "1 know him well." said Crane dreamily. "A real gentleman, old Thorp was." "Well?" Mrs. Cllntock's voice was expectant. "Well?" Crane's voice was deHnnt "What are you going to do oowl My cousin says Alice Is as sweet oud pretty as ever and that It is common belief that she only murrled Weed for spite and that she looks so sad sometimes���and once she inquired after you." "Only once?" demanded Crane Jealously. His chair' scraped away from the table, nad a lighting look came Into his eyes. "The boss says yon enn take a week's vacation ir yon want to." said Mrs. Cllntock. rising from the table and turnlnc toward the door. "Be HE CHANGED HIS MIND.

Australia is also taking a large share of British emigration. -Mr. Priestly stales that the bookings for that country are all sold out up to May. ��� The other evening a l.ical lady resident heard mysterious and unaccountable noises proceeding from a room in the house, and of course boldly sallied forth to meet the midnight marauder. She was armed with a deadly pair of scissors which clicked omininously in the darkness. " Come out of that you villain," she commanded. " I'll shoot. I'll shoot," but the only reply to all her threats was a plaintive "meow" from a corner of the room, and out stalked the " burglar "--the. household torn cat. Clms.

Last week William Clark of Burnaby was sentenced to twelve month's hard labor for beating' his wife. The judge also ordered him to receive twelve lashes immediatc- ly'on his arrival at the prison. John Lynn, the convict who was shot while attempting to escape from the New Westminster pene- tentiary on the 5th ultimo, has been given two months as additional punishment for his bad break. Sir Donald Mann, with his family is moving to Vancouver, where he will in future reside. In the east it is well known that .he has recently disposed of large Toronto and Winnipeg holdings and invested the proceeds in British Columbia. Two men were sentenced at Chil- I liwack, recently, to six months' im-j prisonment with hard labor for stealing two cases of stumping powder. Both were caught in the act, and pleaded guilty to the charge, but claimed to be intoxicated. They are supposed'to be members of the LW;W. '������' A strange phenomenon off the west coast of Vancouver island, was observed recently by the officers of a British steamer. For three days after leaving the straits ot San Juan de Fuca what appeared like dense clouds of steam was seen rising from the face of the'sea. There was a marked difference in the temperature of the air and the sea surface at the time. Heaped on a table before the police magistrate, recently, were twelve of)ium lay-outs, pipes, lamps, tins, scales, howls, tins of opium and all the impedimenta of opium dens, the spoils , of a raid by the Victoria- police'. JThe den was located in a cellar' and the police beat | in the door, effecting an entrance into a room foggy with the haze of opium smoke. Word has been received at New Westminster that John McNamara has been discharged by the New York police where he was arraigned for ��� the ninetieth time for extradition on a charge of looting the Bank of Montreal in New Westminster of $258,000.
