[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.

I MNIJBR=JENDKICK CO., The recent re-inauguration of diamond drilling operations at tbe mines of the Granby Consolidated, in Phoenix, makes it somewhat interesting to note what has been done in this line heretofore. While officials naturally are not searching (or opportunities to give out the direct assay results from diamond drilling operations, it is pretty safe to assume that this s.ystem ol development yields considerable satisfaction to the management, because it is being kept up year after year. Probably no mine or group of mines in British Columbia has had so many bore holes made, and consequently not so thoroughly prospected as the Granby���and yet with the hill practically riddled with these opertures, and with cores taken out that would approximate stx miles in length, the work goes steadily on by Boyles Bros., the contractors, who have done it all for the Granby company for nearly four years. The table appended gives exactly what ha* been accomplished by the Granby company in diamond drilling, the total up to May 1st being 29,117 lineal feet, or more than five and one half miles of this sort of work: Previous to 1904.

Then, again, this sort of work only bayingjbeen recommenced a fewJc weeks ago, the figures for 1908 will not be likeiy,to equal those of 5906. At one lime two drilling outfits were in usc-br-tlic~Granby-camparfy7"but at present Mr. Boyles has but one machine here, which, however, he is running in ^double shift. Seemingly there is seme difference of. opinion among mining men as to the best sys tern of diamond drilling, though they all agree that $3 per foot for cores looks better to them than $10 to $20 per foot for sinking, raising or drifting, as the case may be, to determine location, extent and value of ore bodies. For years the Granby company has done its diamond drilling entirely, by contract, while the Dominion Cop per Co. and: B. C. Copper Co. had their own diamond drills and did the work themselves. The latter, however, has been doing more and more of this work by contract of late, having a contract now in progress at its rich Lone Star and Washington mine, near Danville, Wash. Although extensive work has already been done in the Granby hill, there must be a few spots where the properties are not grid-ironed with bore holes, and about which the management wishes to learn something further, as it appears likely that Page Boyles, in immediate charge of operations here, will be setting diamonds tor his machine all summer, and perhaps all next winter. The Boston Commercial is authority for the statement that the B. C. Copper company have signed a contract whereby Ihe company will receive an adequate coal and fuel supply. At the Mother Lode mine preparations are now under way for the installing the of 55-driIl compressor purchased some time' ayo by the B.C. Copper company from the Canadian Rand company. J. J. Fairrell, the well-known prospector, who recently returned-from a trip to Goldfield,' Nev , has made a splendid strike on the Buttercup, in Wellington camp���discovering what appears to be excellent leads of copper ore. " j E. G. .Warren, managing director pf the Greenwood City Waterworks company, has been appointed general foreman at the B. C. Copper company's smelter and commenced work the beginning of the week. Men are now getting the smelter in shape to begin operations. ' �� During the past week the ore bins and trusscl work at the Gold Drop, which were on Suowshoe property, have been taken down, and the ore bins rebuilt at the Curlew. There will be no more shipping from the Gold Drop; the ore will be sent down through chutes and- taken out via the Curlew tunnel. , Heretofore cars have been loaded direct, from the Curlew conveyor, but with,'~the new bins there will be a storage cajpacity of 250 tons at the Curlew. " The B. C. * Copper company is experiencing somer';difficulty in organising the forces at their mines and although they have btjen taking on men at every shift they'Jtill require about 200 miners. Breaking down rock was commenced at each of the mines last week but as yeUthcre has been no shipping done. A supply of cars has been placed at the -Emma and some shipping may be done from it today. The pumps are still going at Mother Lode and it may be some days yet before any ore is sent out. ' 'j Several mining'deals for properties in Franklin 'arid other North Fork camps have - recently been__slosBdr among which was the sale"orthe O K. claim in Franklin camp to Geo. Todd and others, the original owners "being Thos. .Newby, while Mr. Todd also purchased, xauart*r-*ntarost .in JheAxe ���ctaim7arsorin Franklm camp, from P. Wolf. Another tiansfer of' a well known claim was completed when W. McWilhams bought tbe Redonda claim in Brown's camp Trom W. Graham. AH the claims are reported to be likely prospects showing good gold and copper values and brought snug cash considerations. ; RICH STRIKE IN E.P.U. TUNNEL High Grade Gold and Silver Stringers. Tunnel is In 900 Feet���Many Phoenix Citizens Interested. COMING AND GOING CP.R. OFFICIALS VISIT PHOENIX Preparing to Handle Increased Tonages Expected. Phoenix was visited this week by a number of C.P.R. officials, among them being G. H. Eaton, of Winnipeg,, master mechanic ; W. C. Hodgson, general car foreman, Pacific division; Wm. Pitts, of Nelson, locomotive foreman; R. W. Drew, of Nelson, acting general freight agent. Superintendent D. C. Coleman.of Nelson, was also a visitor in the Boundary in his private car. Messrs. Eaton, Hodgson and Pitts were making an inspection of the com pany's equipment in the Boundary's great copper camp, and were accompanied by the representative of an improved air brake which they purpose testing. Mr. Drew was looking over the ore field for the purpose of keeping a sufficient supply of ore dumps on hand to meet the shipping requirements, which he expects will be greater this year than ever New steel ore cars, built specially for Boundary shipping, have been arriving from the east regularly for some weeks, and no shortage of cars need be anticipated during the coming summer. A switch engine will be put in commission at the Greenwood smelter and a number of improvements to trackage, is being considered. NEW STEEL BUILDING AT GTANBY SMELTER A Series ot Extensive Improvements Commenced. A strenuous season. in the way of improvements has been inaugurated at the Granby smelter. Two of the furnaces have been connected with the new. flue dust chamber, but it will require two months more to connect up the entire eight furnaces. The wooden building covering the big blowing engines is being replaced by a steel'and brick structure, the steel work of which is now half completed. The new building is-larger and is being erected over the old structure, so that the latter can be taken down when the new one is completed, without any inconvenience. Preparations are also being made for the enlarging of the furnaces. All the machinery has been ordered and is being specially made, and will be delivered in the course of a few months. This will require each of the furnaces to be out of commission for a considerable length of time while being rebuilt. Bachelors to Give a Dance. Bachelors of Phoenix are making preparations on an elaborate scale for a dance to be given in Miners' Union hall on Friday evening, .May 29th, the entire proceeds of which will be donated to the Phoenix hospital. Greenwood orchestra, of twelve musicians, have kindly consented to furnish music for the occasion. Lunch will be served in the Miners' Union banquet ball by the Phoenix benedicts. Bachelor committee���G. \V. Rumberger, Chas. Hunter, Dr. MacLean, Max Berger, W, X. Perkins, H. A. Mathews, VV. A. Thrasher; benedict committee���J. L. Martin, Dr. Dickson, W. S. Macy, V. N. Sherbino, Geo. Turner, 0. N. Galer, W. A. Pickard. Rich stringers of ore were struck this week in the long tunnel of the E. P. U., aud those interested now fee-! confident they are close upon the lfd��;i". The E P. U. is located in Skylark camp, close to the Bay, Mavis, and other high grade claims, and is being developed by the Greenwood-Phoenix Syndicate, in which a large number in Phoenix are interested. Four men have been working steadily in two shifts lor nearly two years on a tunnel, which is now in a distance of about 900 feet, and have cut through stringers from the main lead, showing good values in gold aud silver. There is a perpendicular shaft of 200 feet, but the tunnel is at a depth of about 300 feet and will greatly reduce the cost of'mining the ore. A large amount of money has been expended by the syndicate in driving the tunnel, but it would now appear that they are to be rewarded for their perseverance. The report of the assays are not given out but it is said to De highly encouraging. - Boundary Side Lights Rev. J. Leech-Porter Leaving. Rev. John Leech-Porter, rector of the Church of England, Greenwood and Phoenix, preached his farewell sermon here last Sunday, and was saying good-bye to his friends in town on Wednesday, He left this week for Enderby, and will be succeeded at Greenwood and Phoenix by Rev.

Written examinations were held during three days of last week, the papers used being those given at the last entrance examinations, which took place in December. None of the pupils had ever seen these papers, and they were used as a test of their preparedness for trying to pass their next entrance examination, which will take place in June. The following six pupils wrote: Etta Murray, Berfiand Knott, Grace McKenzie, Gladys Pickard, Arthur Isaacson and Elizabeth Spilhaugh. It is necessary at the entrance examination to obtain a certain total, and also to obtain a certain number of marks in each subject. All six failed to obtain the total. In addition to this, E. Murray, G. Pickard and A. Isaacson, failed in four subjects each; G. McKenzie arid B. Knott failed jn five subjects each, and li. Spilhaugh in six subjects. It is evident therefore, that these" pupils are not yet ready to undergo the examination, and that it would be better for them to wait till next December. It is almost certain, however, that four of the six will leave Phoenix permanently before next December, and that - they will not have a chance'to try the examination unless they try it in June. For this reason an effort will ,be made by working after hours on school days and by getting them to come to school on Saturdays, to advance them to suth an extent that they may have reasonable hopes of passing in June. It is hoped that their parents will see that they remain at home in the evenings and spend their time in studying during the next six weeks.

The Destructive Power of Catarrh- Catarrh spares no organ or function of the body. It is capable of destroying sight, taste, smell, hearing.digestion, secretion, assimilation and excretion. It pervades every, part of the human body, head, throat,, stomach, bowels, bronohlal tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder and other pelvic organs. The Curative Powers of Pe-ru-na There is no fact in medical science better established than that a teaspoon- ful of Peruna before each meal will absolutely protect a person from catching cold."

The glycerine employed In Dr. Pierce's medicines greatly enhances the medicinal properties which it extracts from native medicinal roots and holds in solution much better than alcohol would. It also possesses medicinal properties of its own, being a valuable demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic .and antlferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy of the Black Cherry- bark, Bloodroot, Golden Seal root, Stone root and Queen's root, contained in "Golden Medical Discovery " in subduing chronic, or lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and lung affections, for all of which these agents are recommended by standard medical authorities. In all cases, where there is a wasting away of flesh, loss of appetite, with weak stomatfh, as in the early stages of con- sumr/tlin. there can be no doubt that glycerine/acts as a valuable nutritive and aids Mie Golden Seal root.

During the first quarter this year the exports of fine copper, as metal and in ore and matte, amounted to 81,228 long tons, which compares with 25,689 ��ons for the corresponding period in 1907. Imports of copper so far this year show a marked falling of, primarily because the larger Mexican and Canadian mines have curtailed their ouiput and will not resume their normal operations until better market prices for copper prevail. Indications are that an improvement' iu metal prices will be delayed some weeks; but ���t will come before the close of the year.���Mining World. Copper ia Wanfcip. Looking at the matter from a purely selfish point every one residing in Butte should favor the largest appropriation by congress for increasing the navy and 000 worth of copper in its construct ion. The metal used in building a first class battle ship weighs about 14,- 000 tons. It is interesting to know that the miner furnishes about all the rcaierial that goes into a warship. The steel maker gets moie than one-half of the value of the metal used in the construction of a battleship. Copper production in the United States, Canada and Mexico for March totalled 79,105,705 lbs., compared with 102.495,230 lbs. for the corresponding month in 1907, a decrease of 23��38a>526" pounds. This is notwithstanding the Butte production. The production since the first of the year is 210,042,454 lbs. against 272,718,533 lbs. for the same period a year ago.

Since railway facilities must be afforded that part of the country, it is but reasonable to make extension to Fort Churchill, from which many millions of bushels of grain may be trans- /' ported to the outside world. The new railway will open out for settlement another hundred million acres of good land, and tbe result should be of great benefit to the whole of the Dominion. It is probable that portions of Canada, as yet practically unexplored, will prove to be among the country's most resourceful territories through the building of the proposed line. A Washington despatch says that during the last seven months 39,000 people left the United States for Canada, and estimated that collectively they carried forty million dollars. Canada has plenty- of room for all such settlers. G. O. Buchanan, of Kaslo, government distributor of tbe lead bounty, seems confident the lead bounty, which expires on June 30th, will de extended Development work is still- being prosecuted at depth in the Yinir mine, and the management are still as con: fident as ever of finding the second vein of whose existence the indications are so strong. M. R.Rodgers, formerly of the Nickel Plate Mine at Hedley, is starring work on a promising copper property near Port Simpson, and has ordered a ten- drill compressor plant to aid in carrying on the development work. John P. Bell, who is the lessee of the Kootenay Belle, near Nelson, took a $2,000 gold brick into that city last week, the result of a fortnight's run of the mill which was treating between seven and eight tons of ore daily. The blind lead on the Ymir mine, for which search has been persistent for the past year, was struck early last week, and, from the development since that it has been announced that the lead was undoubtedly present This may make a considerable difference in the fortunes of this property. Ostllar, Their Owe. Away back when the world was new editors must have been at the head of !he financial procession. Somewhere in the good book it forecasts a general reversal of things,, stating that the first shall be last and the last first, but does not go into details more specifically.

The C.P.R.'s faith in Phoenix has undergone a wonderful change in the past few years. There was a time when the C.P.R. could hardly be. induced to build into Phoenix under any amount of bonuses and' guarantees. But times have changed. Today they recognize that mining development in Phoenix is only in its infancy; that ore tonnages in this camp are increasing enormously yearly,, antl will continue to increase for years to come. There is business in Phoenix worth hustling for, and the C.P.R. is going to hustle. A new mining company is to be incorporated at Duncan, on Vancouver island, James Hume of King Soloman mine, Koksilah, arter having done considerable development work, and proven a considerable body of ore, intends forming a corporate company, so that���the���property���1 handled,and worked.

In addition to. this, all failed in from four to six subjects. The opinion formed by the principal from the results was that no pupil is yet ready to take that examination, and that air should wait till Christmas He was informed, however, by some of the parents that they would, be'..leaving town before Christmas, and ihat liicir children would not have a chance 10 write unless they wrote in Jjntie. For this reason he commenced . keeping them in after hours, and haying them come on Saturdays His opjriion still is, however, that ii would oe folly to send such'a large number up, and he declines to tak��- the responsibility of doing. it. - It will be of no benefit, and will be positively harmful, to pupils to go up for examination, and meet with certain failure, even if they are going to leave Phoenix. The fact thst they are going to \en\t Phoenix will not wipe but the folly of going up when they are not nearly ready." ���'.'' Another examination will be'.held here, and the two: who obtain the highest standing will be selected to go. The teacher, and not the paren��, is the proper judge as to the fitness of a pupil for trying an examination. It must be remembered that two teachers in Phoenix have to cover the same range of work as eleven teachers in Nelson, and seven in Grand Forks. All the subjects taught in those large schools are taught here, and there are only two teachers to do the work. Pupils can be ptepared for the entrance examination here, but a longer time is required than in places where they have a large number of teachers. ' [com. Inaoruat Case at Qreeowooa Affiles.
