[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.

W. C. Thomas, the superintendent, was there and courteously accompanied the Pioneer man over the works. The company's smelter has now been operated under the present management for six months, and the results are plainly given out to be most satisfactory, when everything is considered. Both furnaces were found in full blast as usual, treating about 600 tons of ore per 24 hours���and the. ore all comes from the mines owned by the company, the Brooklyn, Stemwinder, Rawhide, Sunset and Mountain Rose. No custom ore is handled at present. Everything was moving as smoothly as clockwork, and the men seemed to be a contented lot. At present no men are employed at the smelter, but this number may be somewhat increased as soon as enlargements already ordered are gotten under way, which will be very soon. The present blast furnaces are, one of them, of the Union Iron Works make, while the other came from the Denver Engineering Works. The third furnace, a mammoth affair, now being manufactured by the Trayler Engineering Works, oPAllentown.Penn., will be as large as the other two combined. This will be placed in commission some time early in the fall, giving a total capacity of about 1,200 tons of ore daily. Preparations for this giant furnace are now being made by Mr. Thomas. Some ol the Improvements. Since Supt. Thomas took charge of this smelter last fall he has worked a metamorphosis around the works in many ways, simplifying the work and working out more than one economy in operation. For instance, a thousand-foot railway spur has been built by tbe C P.R., for handling the matte that is shipped to the B. C. Copper Co., at Greenwood, for converting. Matte was formerly hoisted to the upper railway tracks at considerable expense. Then the matte itself is run off from the furnaces is an ingenious manner, that even a novice can see at a glance is a vast improvement over the old system. Mr. Thomas has been trying to work out a scheme for mechanical charging, but the ore binsare so constructed that this plan has not yet been evolved, owing to the many difficulties. In the meantime the old system of hand charging is still employed and will be continued for the present, at least. A new machine shop, about 35x75 feet, has been completed, and the machinery ordered. This machinery was ordered last November, for 60 days' delivery���about $6,000 worth��� and so far but one small machine, of little use by itself, has put in an appearance. This is, consequently, a tender spot with the superintendent, but he still has faith that it will arrive this year, if his patience holds out. This machinery will be of tbe latest pattern for the work intended, and will be driven by electric power. Incidentally, two 100 h.p. and one 75 h.p. motors to drive it are already on the ground, being of the Bullock make. This week work was started on moving the blacksmith shop to a point immediately adjoining the machine shop. Quite recently a new Davenport saddle tank locomotire was added to the equipment, it being used to carry away the slag from the furnaces. The old locomotive has been repaired and will be held in reserve till the third furnace is in commission. A few days ago Mr. Thomas gave an order to the Jenckes Machine Co., of Sherbrooke, Quebec, for a large ore crusher, of the Blake-Farrel type, with jaws 30x42 inches, the machine being like the big machines in use at the Granby mines, but a trifle smaller in size. When the West Kootenay concern gets its high tension power lines built down to Boundary Falls from Greenwood, three or four miles, this summer, steam power, which is being used at present in the smelter, will be done away with for electricity, the latter being much more economical and convenient in every way. With tbe other improvements, the ore bin capacity of the smelter will be materially increased���something that has long been needed. In fact, the work to this end is now under way. Coleman coke and coal is used exclusively at Boundary Falls, and is under stood to give the best of satisfaction to the company. About every other day a carload of copper matte is shipped to Greenwood for converting, and generally speaking the work done at the smelter has been of a most satisfactory and encouraging character. Mr. Thomas does not have any trouble whatever with his employees, and they seem to get along together like a happy family. Before snow falls the improvements and enlargements should be completed, when the smelter " will double up its daily copper output, and cut just that much more of a figure in! mining and smelting circles in the Boundary. There is no hesitation in saying that, in the opinion of the Pioneer man, the concern is in most competent hands, and has every chance of proving a commercial success. PHOENIX WON OUT AT MIDWAY Took Prizes at Empire Day Celebration. Boundary Mining Notes Diamond drilling is being iteadily prosecuted by the Dominion . Copper Co. in the Brooklyn Mine. This week the work of sinking the main shaft at the Emma 100 foot to the 250 foot level was started. Diamond drilling is shortly to be done by the B. C. Copper Co. on the Jnmbo and Minnie Moore claims, adjoining the Emma. In the Strathmore the winze from the 35-foot crosscut of the drift is now down about 50 feet. More ore will be sent out next month. A larger boiler has been secured for the Skylark, and will be installed as soon as possible and sinking in the main shait continued. The main shaft in the Mother Lode, which is being deepened to the 600- foot level or thereabouts, is now down a depth of about 430 feet. Work on widening and timbering the main three compartment shaft of the Dominion Copper Co.'s Idaho mine is now down about 75 feet or more. In a short time the Chicago men interested in the Helen and Preston will make a visit to the Boundary, when further development is expected to be arranged for. Thus'far the B. C Copper Co. has done some 1300 feet of diamond drilling in the ore bodies of the Oro Denoro, on which property the company has an option. The showing on the Bay mine is reported to be very good indeed, the work done lately by H. V. Fuller, the owner, showing an excellent body of high grade free milling gold ore. Last Wednesday the employees of the B. C. Copper Co.s smelter met the management, and agreed upon a three years' wage schedule, the minimum being $2.75 per day for nine hours. A plan is on foot for the formation of a new company, to take in the Idola, Lake, Don Pedro, Yellowstone, Yellowstone fraction and Crescent fraction, six favorably known claims in Skylark camp, with a capital of about $2,000,000. Recently the Dimond fraction, Texas and Mayfield, adjoining the Providence and Fremont mines in Greenwood's high grade belt, have been bonded by Smith Curtis to Chicago capitalists, and development work is to be undertaken. The West Kootenay Power & Light Co. is making surveys for its branch pole line to Summit camp from Phoenix to furnish electric energy for the new air compressing plant to be installed by the B. C. Copper Co. at the Emma mine The old Mother Lode compressor has just been placed in operation at this property for temporary use. On the new machinery and improvements being made at the British Co lumbia Copper Co.'s Greenwood smelting plant, there will be a freight bill of something like $40,000. Some cars of machinery have already been received. About a million and a half feet of lumber will be used, it being supplied by the Yale-Columbia Lumber Co., largely from the Cascade mill. On or about the first of June the B. C. Copper smelter at Greenwood will be blown out to permit of the extensive enlargements which have been under way for some months. With the exception of the converting plant, the entire smelter will not be operated again until everything is in readiness to blow in the three large furnaces now- being manufactured by the Power & Mining Machinery Co., of Cudahy, Wis. As soon as ore shipments are dis continued at the Mother Lode mine��� consequent upon the company's smelter being blown out for enlargements ���more activity than ever will prevail at the mine, and all efforts will be concentrated on development in preparation for the increased output to 1,500 tons daily, required when the smelter is blown in again. The present force of about 125 men at the mine will be increased as soon as may be to probably 200 employees. Base Ball, Hose Race and Mountain Climbing. One of the most successful celebrations ever held in the Boundary coun try, and certainly the most successful yet pulled off in Midway, took place ihere on Victoria Day, last Thursday. The entire Boundary country contributed generously in attendance, and it is estimated that nearly a couple of thousand visitors were there to see the sports. They came from Chesaw, Curlew, Rock Creek, Boundary Falls, Greenwood,' Phoenix, Grand Forks, Eholt, etc. Phoenix sent its liberal quota by the hundreds, and they all report having had a good time. Incidentally, they had good luck in the sports, and the only thing they did not win prizes in were the horse races, in which no Phoenix horses were entered, this not being a horse town. The great attraction of the occasion was the baseball tournament, and the Phoenix team won. back the varied assortment of laurels repeatedly lost so far this year, and. while they were doing it, took the $100 prize. Four teams were entered, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Midway and Phoenix. The first game was between Phoenix and Grand Forks, and resulted in the former winning with a score of 1 r to 1. The second game brought Midway and Greenwood into opposition, and Midway took it with 11 to 7 runs. Then Midway and Phoenix crossed bats on the diamond, and one of the best games ever played in the Boundary was the result, Phoenix finally coming out ahead with the close score ol 4 to 3. Intense interest was manifested all through the game, which was Midway's up to the eighth inning, and a goodly bunch of money (hanged hands on the result. Both teams w;ere in fine condition and played good ball: Doubtless there will be more good games at the tournament to be held here Dominion Day.

Miss Christy McLeod passed away Thursday morning at the Phoenix General hospital, having been unable to rally from a complication of diseases. An operation was performed a day or two previously, in the hope of saving- her life, but without avail. The remains were taken east on yesterday's C.P.R. tiain by her cousin, Marcus Martin, and will be interred at Mount Hope, Dundas, Prince Edward Island, the home of Mr. Martin and her parents. Miss McLeod was about 24 years of age at the time of her death, and had lived here for some months, with her cousin, Mrs. Dan Martin. Alex McPherson and Alex Gillis, Phoenix residents, were also cousins of the deceased. She had not been in very robust health for some time, but had not complained. About the 10th of the month she was taken to the hospital. The funeral was held yesterday at 2 p. m. from Mr. Martin's residence.

A hub and hub hose reel race was scheduled to take place, and the Phoenix team was hand, on that assurance. The Greenwood team, however, did not show up and the prize of $75 was awarded to the Phoenix team. In the mountain climbing race, James Morgan, of Phoenix, won the $20 prize, making the trip to the mountain and back in 28 minutes. Excellent music was furnished by the Greenwood band. Trains Crowded lo OverflowlBf. Evidently the C. P. R. did not anticipate any such crowd on its special train as it had. When it pulled out of Phoenix there wer�� 100 people aboard (hundreds having gone in special conveyances). At Eholt about 250 more from Grand Forks, etc., joined the excursion. At Greenwood scores and scores got aboard, and three box cars were added to the tram. At one time it looked as though a few ore cars and one or two of Pit Burns' refrigerator cars would have to be com- tnandered to hold the crowds en route to Midway. By the time Midway was reached about 1,000 persons were attached to the train���some jammed into the eight cars like sardines in a box, others on the roof and steps and what not, but they all reached Midway safely. It was a good thing for the C.P.R., the train pulling out of Midway on the return tiip about 7:30, and leaving qute a number there. On the return trip not a little criticism was expressed against the C. P. R. management, as the cars weie not lighted till the train nearly reached Greenwood. It was a splendid place for pickpockets to operate. Born, to the wife of T. H. Rea, Grand Forks, May 16th, a daughter. Anaconda is to receive mail over the Great Northern on or about July ist. Rev. F. A. Maclnnis, the new Presbyterian clergyman for Midway and Boundary Falls, has arrived and started work. Greenwood's tax rate has been fixed at 1 7 mills for the current year, and J. P. McLeod has been appointed city solicitor. Manager K. G. Warren, of the Greenwood Electric Co., expects to have the new power plant at Boundary Falls in operation by October, when the company will be independent of the large power companies. E. R. Birnie, of Winnipeg, where he represents the Yale-Columbia Lumber Co., was visiting his brother, L. Y. Birnie, yesterday. T. J. Ferguson, of this camp, has been made superintendent of the Iron Mask mine at Kamloops, where his family expects to join him. F. W. Thomas, of New York, consulting engineer for the B. C. Copper Co., who has been down to the coast, was in Greenwood again this week. S. C. Holman, superintendent of the Mother Lode mine, was in Phoenix yesterday, seeing his father and mother off on a trip to Massachusetts and New- Hampshire. Julius Ehrlich, manager for P.Burns & Co., Ltd., at Greenwood, who recently left on a vacation to be spent in Germany, is now on the briny, cross ing the Atlantic. James T. Russell came over from Nelson Saturday, and returned Thursday with his family. They will settle on the fruit ranch Mr. Russell purchased recently on Kootenay lake, nine miles from Nelson. R. B. Kerr and wife, formerly of Phoenix, who spent a year in California, recently went to F'ernie to settle, but have left the Crow town and are now in Victoria, where they expect to remain permanently. George Robbins, who is interested in mines near Chewelah, Wash., spent the week in camp. He is a son of Frank Robbins, M.E., who had charge of the development work on the Brooklyn and Stemwinder in this camp for Mackenzie, Mann &��� Co. six or seven years ago. Another prominent low grade Boundary mine was added to the de\elop- ment list this week. Last Monday a crew of men was sent up to the Big Copper, in Copper camp, some three or four miles beyond the Mother Lode in.Deadwood camp, to begin the active work of opening up this long and favorably known property. William Hannah is in charge of the eight men that have started work. Within the last few days a deal has been closed by the owners of the Big Copper for the transfer of the mine to Boston capitalists, whose identity has not yet been given out. W. T. Smith, the well known Greenwood mining man, and J. C. Haas, M. E., of Spokane, negotiated the transfer. No details Ijave yet been given out for publication, but it is understood that the deal runs up over $100,000, a cash payment down and the balance at the end of six months. The property is owned, one-quarter by John Moran, the George B. McAulay estate one- half, and Chief Inspector of Customs S. W. McMichael, of Toronto, one- quarter. The latter was in Greenwood a few days since attending to the details of the option and bond, which was given to the Massachusetts men. Probably no low grade mine in the Boundary that has not been steadily operated, has been held in more favorable opinion by those best acquainted with this district, than the Big Copper. Several times in past years attempts were made to secure control of the property, but the owners would not part with it except on their own terms, which were thought to be pretty high by prospective purchasers. Last winter not quite 600 tons of ore were sent out from the property arid treated at the Greenwood smelter, the wagon haul alone being three or four miles. This ore is understood to have given returns of something like $14 per ton���which is certainly most favorable, as low grade copper properties in the Boundary go. The Big Copper is described as a mountain of ore that merely has to be quarried out and shipped at a minimum of cost. Thus far, at least, it seems to have lived up to its name. It adjoins che King Solomon, owned by D. C. Corbin and associates of Spokane. Some four years ago about 800 tons of ore were sent out from the King Solomon. Robert Keffer, editor and proprietor of the Anaconda News, which has recently been enlarged to eight pages, was a caller in the city yesterday. Archie Aberdeen, the veteran prospector, who owns up to some 77 summers and as many winters, started out Wednesday for the Similkameen, where he will do some assessments on claims near Hedley camp.

Hichard McBride, for ihe year ending December 31st, 1905, has just been issued from the government pruning office, Victoria. The report, which is a most concise digest on the operations in gold and other prcciou ineUls, copper, lead and coal, reflects credit on the pro\ incial mineralogist, William Fleet Robertson. This official has evidently been at pains to ol>- i.tiu an accurate, conservative and thorough summary of work in the large mining camps and coal-fields of the province. The statements made in ihe report are based upon facts and liguces which there is no gainsaying, wlii'e in the field of theory and anticipation the provincial mineralogist has evinced a very clear insight into the future, his opinions finding the endor- sation of others whose business it is to make a thorough study of the inhier- alo^ical possibilities of British Columbia.

Almost every ono has como to believe that spring Is a season that brings derangements of tho body dependent on blood impurities. This belief Is an old one, is nearly universal, and has arisen, not as the result of the teachings of tho medical fraternity, but has been learned in the bitter school of experience. Nervous Depression. Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is a fertilo sourco of blood impurities. There are general lassitude,dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feelings, with irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. That Tired Feeling. That tired feeling, which Is the natural result of the depressing effect of -warm weather immediately after the Invigorating oold of winter, quickly disappears when Peruna is taken. The Proper Remedy. Peruna meets every Indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna invigorates the Bystem, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and procures regular sleep. Do Not Delay. Get a bottle of Peruna when the first languid feelings make themselves apparent in the spring. Take it according to the directions on the bottle. Continue this treatment through the first months of spring. This course of treatment is no experiment; it is as positive in its results as any fact of science can be. A Spring Tonic. Almost everybody needs a tonic in the spring. Something to brace the nerves, invigorate the brain, and cleanse the blood. That Peruna will do this is beyond all question. Everyone who has tried it has had the same experience as Mrs. Winnifred Power, an artist, who, in a recent letter from I246 7th St., Portland, Ore., says: "1am pleased to speak a good word for Peruna, as I found It an excellent tonic and spring medicine and very effective In ridding tbe system of cold and catarrh. "About two years ago my system was all run down in the spring and I thought I would try and see if Peruna would be of any assistance in bringing back my health and strength. "I found that it was splendid and all the medicine that I needed. In a little over a month I was well and did not need to take any more medicine. "I shall recommend it to every ono in need of a tonic, and know that I have only to take a few doses of Poruna when I take a cold and I will soon be over it." ���Winnifred Power. Nature's Assistance. Spring is the best time to treat catarrh. Nature renews herself every spring. The system is rejuvenated by' spring weather. This renders medicines more effective. A short course of Peruna, assisted by the balmy air of spring, will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh that have resisted treatment for years. A Word ol Advice. To those wiio have been afflicted with chro-.ic catarrh we wish to say that the sZ-'.i'K season affords you a splendid opportunity to get rid of your disease. It may be you have been afflicted for several years; you may have tried different remedies. Perhaps you have become discouraged. Now Is Your Opportunity. This failure was during the winter months. But now is your opportunity. Nature comes to your assistance at this season. Just help her a little aud she will bring you out of the quagmire in which you have been floundering so long. Give Nature a little assistance lest her strug gles be in vain. A Typical Case. Geo. M. "Fillmore, late 1st Lieut. 8rd U. S. Artillery, writes from 909 h St., N. *W., Washington, D. C, as follows: "I brought forward from winter into spring a sickening case of catarrh which was making existence miserable for me, until I was induced to try a bottle of Peruna. "An immediate improvement gave mo hope, if not relief. I kept up taking Poruna and it has so strengthened and relieved me that I am now confident of a cure. I heartily endorse Peruna for ca- ] tarrhal affections and as a tonic for their weakening effects."���Geo. M. Fillmore. A short course of Peruna now will be just In time. During the month of April youwill find the strategic time to rid yourself of chronic catarrh, one of the most persistent, stubborn diseases in the whole list of human ailments. After you have tried it you will say Peruna is positively the best spring medicine you have ever used. A great many years of extensive trials of this remedy In this olass of derangements have demonstrated that there are no failures. Thousands ot Testimonials. Thousands of cases might be quoted in which Peruna has rescued people from the ravages of spring catarrh, and put them on a good, solid foundation of health. We can give our readers only a alight glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited endorsements Dr. Hartman is constantly receiving. No other physician in the world has received such a volume of enthusiastic letters of thanks. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at onoe to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratia.

The report states that the gross va'ue of the mineral production of the province during the year 1905 was $"������*>461,325, the largest output ever made by the mines of the province, and an increase over the preceding year of $3,483,966, or 18.4 per cent, while it is an increase over the year 1903 of over 28 per cent. ,An analysis of the returns show, however, that this increase has been confined to certain districts, Southeast Kootenay, the Boundary district, Nelson mining division and Yale mining division, the remaining districts showing a more or less marked decrease. The greater part of the increase is in the two former of these districts. In Southeast Kootenay the tonnage of ore mined in creased 121 per cent and the value of the product 135 per cent over the preceding year, while in the Boundary the tonnage has increased 20 per cent and the value of the output 53.6 per cent. The following table shows the number of metalliferous mines which ship- p*-d ore during the past year, together with the location of these mines and the number of men employed both above and below ground : Tom of Ore Shipped Cassiar: Skeena Fast Kootenay : Fort Steele '7��.��73 Windermere.. .. 226 West Kootenay : Ainsworth 3,831 Nelson 50,090 Slocan 88,279 Trail 330,618 Other Divisions. 22,302 Lillooet 133 Yale : Boundary 965,628 Ashcroft - Kamloops 14,642 Similkameen-Vernon 88 14 Coast 61,126 202 43 Men Km ployed ��9 3'7 44 106 392 457 833 i'5 4 ,016 77 3,596 Total 1,706,679 Boundary Increase, 56 Per Cent. In the Boundary district the tonnage of ore mined has increased about 26 per cent over the preceding year, and now amounts to 965,628 tons, being over 56 per cent of the total tonnage of the province. This increase is due to the constantly increasing operations of the Granby company, the other large companies about holding their own. The number of smaller high grade properties being operated, while not contributing any appreciable percentage to the tonnage, have helped to keep up the average grade of the ores. The costs of mining and smelting have been gradually reduced in this section, thanks to as fine equipments as money could buy, in the hands of intelligent and scientific men, until they are now reported to be auout the lowest in the world. To quote from a recent editorial in the leading American scientific journal: "Ten years ago the idea of smelting for a dollar a ton and mining for$1.to a ton would have been scouted as impossible. Yet this has been done at the Granby mines, with an exceptionally favorable ore and exceptionally well applied skill. In Tennessee, with low priced labor and fuel, they smelt a copper bearing pyrrhotite for $1.30 per ton." The tonnage of ore mined in the whole province, exclusive of coal, was 1,706,679 tons, some 245,070 tons, or 16 per cent, greater than in 1904; and 85 per cent greater than was mined in 1901. The output of mineral products in British Columbia, as compared with that of similar products in all other provinces of the Dominion, shows that in 1905 British Columbia produced in metals and coal an amount nearly as great as did all the other Canadian provinces combined.
