[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.

Near Eholt Sunday Morning WE ARE NOT SELLING OUT YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD MORRIN, THOMPSON & CO. HEATING As a result of a derailment of a light engine between Phoenix and Eholt on the C.P.R. at 7 o'clock Sunday morn ing, Leo McAstocker, engineer, is dead and George Beattie, fireman, is seriously injured. The scene of the accident was the steep down grade from Phoenix towards Eholt, about a mile south of the latter town, where the track curves sharply around the mountain and there is a steep descent of about 200 feet. The engine, No. 1385, had already assisted two trains up the hill and was returning down the hill light, when at the curve it jumped the rails and was ditched, landing in a damaged condition over 200 feet from the point of departure. Both McAstocker and Beattie jumped, the former landing about 40 feet down the declivity and the latter about 150 feet down. Both were stunned, McAstocker receiving a severe concussion of the brain, besides scalp wounds and Beattie receiving a slight fracture of the skull and a double fracture of the left ankle. A rancher of the neighborhood observed a cloud of steam in the valley and not being able to account for it, made an investigation, with the result that he discovered the unconsious men and the ditched engine. He immediately notified Eholt, and a wrecking train took the men to Greenwood where they were placed in the hospital. C. J. McAstocker of Phoenix and Thos. McAstocker ofFarron, brothers, hurried to the scene. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon a special left Nelson carrying F. Walker, acting superintendent ��� R. A. Pyne, master mechanic, and Misses Irene and Blanche McAstocker, sisters of Leo, Miss, Irene being a trained nurse. Jas. McAs-, tpeker of Nelson, the injured engineer's- father,": followed,Monday.- --"-- ~r~ Four doctors were in attendance on the injured man and from the first it was realized that McAstocker's condition was very serious. At one period of Monday evening it was proposed to hold an operation, but he was considered too weak to undergo it. He died at 9.30 p.m, interment taking place in Nelson on Thursday. Beattie's injuries were much less serious and he is now considered out of danger, though he may lose a toot. His home is at Blue Sea, N.S. McAstocker's age was 23 years and he only recently took charge of an engine. Eight months ago he married Miss Vina Luse of Eholt and lately the young couple resided at Grand Forks, out of which he ran his engine. The engine is not damaged beyond repair, but it promises to be a problem to recover it from its present position. To hoist it up the mountain side, it is said, would be altogether impractable and it is reported that a spur will be built to it from the main line, which is not far distant. The bright side of the deplorable j accident was the manner in which the I C.P.R. officials rendered aid, as has already been detailed. A few minutes after receiving word of the accident Miss Irene McAstocker of Nelson introduced herself to acting superintendent Walker in that city and expressed a desire to nurse her brother. This was at 3 o'clock and at 3.15 the special was drawing out. The train consisted of engine No. 1310, a baggage car and the superintendent's private car. Conductor Mouat was in charge of the special and engineer McDougall did not spare speed,' bringing the party into Greenwood at 8 o'clock that evening. BRITISH COLUMBIA AND NEW DOMINION Former Negotiating to Bay Ores of Latter Outright CANDIDATES IN THE FIELD Party Representatives for the Legislature Conservatives Have Selected 33 and Liberals 24 At the present- timeYthe three, furnaces at the British Columbia Copper company's smelter are treating close to 2000 tons of ore a day, and their capacity is soon to be increased to between 2,400 and 2,600 tons. By spring the company expect to have* a fourth furnace completed, which will be used as a reserve and will insure a constant capacity of about 2,500 tons. A Boiton despatch says: Newman Erb and F. L. Sommer, president and vice-president respectively of the British Columbia Copper company, have been elected to the directorate of the New Dominion Copper company and as Adolph Lewisohn is on the board of the former company,it is natural to believe that the managements of the two companies will be closely identified in the future if they are hot indeed consolidated. Many of the claims of the two companies are contiguous, and as the ore is all low-grade and has to be treated in large quantities to pay, there would be greater economy of production if they were developed under the same management. The New Dominion Copper company holds valuable properties, which failed to pay under its old management because its smelter could not be operated economically. The new management is negotiating a contract with J. E. McAllister, the general manager of the British Coiumbia Copper company, by which the latter company will buy outright the ore of the New Dominion company. By this agreement the neV company .will be insured better profits than it could obtain by smelting its own ore. Newman Erb says that with the increased amount of \qre that will: he handled bj-tiic-Biit'iK Columbia company under this agreement copper will be produced at less tnan nine cents a pound , The formal nomination of candidates for political honors in the forthcoming provincial elections takes place next Thursday, by which time, it is probable, every constituency will be representated by the Liberal and Con- servative parties, with about a dozen Craabrook Herald Ckaaiea Haads The news that F. E. Simpson, the "Old Man" of the Crinbrook Herald, has sold his paper and will retire from the journalistic field will be a matter of general regret to every person in the Kootenays. For a decade or more he has published the Hetald and has won for it a prestige second to no other weekly in Western Canada, while as a sane advocate of the possibilities of the district the "Old Man "has wielded a conspicuous force in the upbuilding of Cranbrook city and the Kootenays. Mr. Simpson will go south to recuperate in health, and on his return will go into the real estate business in the "banana belt" at Cranbrook, and his many friends will join in wishing him every success in his new venture. A farewell banquet will be extended to him by the citizens of Cranbrook The Herald has been purchased by T. M. Roberts, who, it is stated, repre sents a syndicate.

CASSELS PERCIVAL ENTERTAINERS Dellgh-iul Initial Attraction ot tbe Star Eo tertainmeot Coarse The attractiveness of the Star entertainment course lies largely in the noveltv of the various programs offered. The Cassels-Percival entertainers were organized to meK the persistent demand for a thoroughly refined and artistic entertainment, possessing all the best features of high class concert and in addition, much greater variety and interest. Miss Caroline Cassels has been for years the most popular singer on the Pacific coast. She possesses a glorious contralto voice, rich, full and sympathetic. Her songs appeal to every ear while her pleasing appearance delights the eye. Percival, the wizard, is one of the most accomplished and versatile enter tainers on the concert stage. His marvelous performance of magic, mirth and mystery has delighted countless people and is the most elaborate and wonderful presentation o, slight-of-hand and illusions ever seen outside the large cities of the east. His program fairly, bristles with laughable and-incomprehensible tricks, always keeping the,idea of refined humor uppermost.

GRANBY SMELTER'S ������> TONNAGE INCREASE Big Output of the Mines for October Granby's seven furnaces smelted 26,702 tons during the past week, showing an increase of nearly a thousand tons over that of the previous week, which is another new record for the Boundary's big reduction works. The tonnage treated represents approximately 550 tons of ore treated by each furnace every 24 hours during the seven days. For the year to date the smelter has treated 841,742 tons of ore, which compares with 850,604 during the same period last year. It is expected that the total tonnage for 1909 will show a considerable increase over that of 1908. : During the month of October Granby smelter received 107,932 tons tons of ore for treatment. Of this amount Granby mines at Phoeuix shipped 105,458 tons, which, with the exception of March, 1908, is the largest monthly output of the mines. The receipts of foreign ore amounted to 2,474 tons as follows: Black Tail, Republic camp... 48 Ben Hur .286 Lone Pine 128 San Poil . 65, Quilp.................... 58 Balcher 519 Snowstorm, Coeir d'Alenes 1,248 Arlington, Slocan district...Y 123 Candidate ^ Gtia^ Forks Riding f Selected >>. at Convention^ ^ " Liberals ori Monday'^ CONSTRUCTION OF RAILWAY STARTED 75 Men Already at Work-r- 300 More Required ; j; B.

Spaslal Wltb, Postal Matter Croaaad; Half a Continent at Mile a Minute ' The derailment of transcontinental train No. 97, on the C.P.R., at White River, resulted in what was probably the fastest time ever made oyer the western lines to the Pacific coast. It was all because of the mail. No. 97 was carrying the British and Canadian mail and' passengers Tor the Empress of India, end it simply had to reach there by Wednesday. Within a very short time after the wreck a special train was made, up, and it sped against records across the western part of the continent in time to catch the boat. The train came over the double track ing at Winnipeg at a speed close to the minute mark, and departed, leaving in its trail a whirl'. of dust and flying paper. It is estimated that the average speed to the coast was 60 miles an hour. The distance is slightly over 1482 miles1' This is regarded as a triumph of railroading, and a tribute to the magnifi cent roadbed of Canada's great trans continental. . - ^ ��� The train reached its destination at noon Wednesday and caught the boat, vrhich was a little delayed through other causes." The fastest ,time was made over the 180" mile division from Medicine Hat to Calgary. This was covered in 180 minutes, which included stops for water. At many places along the line the speed was increased to over 70 miles per hour. Near Gtenfell it .cpvered 9 miles,in 7 minutes; at Qu'Appe'lle it made 15 miles in 12 minutes, and. j he line between McLean and Regin&,'24 miles; was 21 minutes.

An abundance of timber to develop a great mine. The company owns the water power in Willow creek and its west fork, which is partially developed. The water is capable of developing about 100 horsepower in low water (three months per year), and 250 horsepower, maximum,- for about nine months per year. , This group nf claims has the strongest outcrop of cupjier-bearini* ore in the disttict. By siri|*i*ii*(; and excavating an opening some 30x45 feet, with a' face 1 5 feet high, we sacked for shipment 48,000 pounds of 3 per cent copper and 4 ounces ..in silver to the ton. All ���e(xpjerts agree that this is a yery remarkaWe showing. ; Tunnel No. i has been driven 290 feet, giving a vertical depth of 125 feet. The last 130 feet: has been in ore ranging from 1 to 50 per cent copper, with small values in both silver and gold. * In this tunnel there is about 70 feet of crosscuttina.at three different points. After driving 90 feet on the ore we crosscut, including the width of the tunnel, about 47 feet and the. hanging .wall has not been reached. ! Tunnel No.. 2 has been driven 940 feet, where indications point to being yery near the ore shoot. In fact we may enter it at any time. This level will give us a vertical depth of 500 feet when the face shall ..have been idriven rooo feet from the portal. On this level we have done . 335 feet of jcrosscutting, which located the two ledges���designated as the copper or south ledge, and the galena or north ledge. On the galena ledge we have ^rifted 65 feet, getting some ore heavily interspersed wiih galena and at times almost solid iron. [ Three.years ago in taking over this 'group of claims, I had them surveyed in order to be sure that the title was correct. The survey showed the ground illy staked and made it necessary to relocate nine of the 11 claims, which was done under the supervision - of United States Mineral Surveyor for Idaho and Montana, Mr. Frederick V. Phinney of Wallace, Idaho. After the survey and relocations were completed, in which the original owner, Mr. James Carney, participated,' the 'group of 10 claims was deeded to J. L. Martin. The eleventh claim was deeded to J. L. Martin hy Mr. W. H. Harris, the original locator. Subsequently the entire group of 11 claims were deeded by J. L. Maitin to the, Carney Copper Company, Limited. The title there- fore can not be successfully disputed by any claimant at any time. However, the management will apply for and secure U. S. patents for each claim as soon as practical. The relocations of these nine claims cost more than $1000. The development of the Carney group to date has cost about $25,- ooo.' Substantial and comfortable cook and bunk houses were built and equipped at a cost of $700. The mine is equipped with everything necessary to develop the property by hand. Cars, track, steel, blacksmith shop and outfit and a No. 7 water driven fan. The proposition of installing a com pressor plant has been deferred until spring, owing to the fact that it could not be shipped before the heavy snows would be upon us. As soon as spring is open the plant will be put in, the water power applied, a dynamo in stalled to light the mine and buildings and a bucket tram built for cheap and economical handling of the ore. Ship ping will be postponed until the equipment is ready. A contract was let for 400 feet of drifting and crosscutting on September 20. This development was divided as follows : too feet in No. 1 tunnel and 200 feet in No. 2 tunnel. It will require 1500 feet of tram to load our ore on the Northern Pacific railway. Mr. Phinney, our engineer, has been surveying mining properties for some nine or ten years and knows every foot of the Coeur d'Alenes. Under date of September 20, he writes me, among many' other important matters regarding the Carney : (Tunnel No. 3); "As yet this tunnel has not encountered the ore; but the ���-round in the face is becoming miner- ilized and you may encounter ore here at any tims." (Tunnel No. 1).' "'l'he present face of this tunnel has a vertical depth of 120 feet, and another 100 feet of drift will give you a depth of from 160 tb 175 feet. I feel very sure that at this point you will open up a large body of ore." "As :t whole, I consider it one of the most promising prospects: in the Coeur d' Alenes, and with the continuation of the able and efficient management that has characterized it in the past, I see no reason why it should not be on the producing list before many months." The Carney Copper was put on the market in December, 1906, at 25 cents per share. Since that date more than $20,000 has been judiciously expended in its development with the result that we now have a large and valuable ore body in which there is much shippinp ore. Wc have secured a water right worth $25,000 and our development has reached a point where any round of holes may break into ore on the 500-level which would make thestock very valuable. It will be a great mistake for anyone to offer his stock at this time. My advice is, hold stock for. 50 cents per share unless you are forced to sell by circumstances'outside your control. ' Very truly yours, ' J. YL. 'Martin, ... r President and Manager. Assays have been received from the new strike on the S. & M..ahd<M. & S. claims, located at VVhipsaw, B.C., and gave the following returns: gold, 60c; silver, 310 ounces, $155; copper, 2*per cent, $4.80; lead, 68 per cent;.$54.40; or a total value of $214.20 per ton.

It has assumed the role of a legitimate business enterprise, on as honorable footing as manufacturing, transportati* n, merchandising ( or b.-nSlcirig.- It may le made as safe as any 0/ these pursuits, and has the advantage of much larger profit-. :At the present time mining rests upon scientific pi inciples. There is now small excuse for failure. What makes amine? The mining engineer, who has practical expenenci and scientific phases of the minerxl industry, will answer by saying that i' is a land property from the bowels of which valuable mineral' may be extracted profitably and in large quantities. So, also, contrary to popular opinion, an .ore is..a mineral deposit which on a mercantile scale, may be worked with profit. Such is the definition which the legitimate business of mining today recognizes the world over. A mining proposition passes through a number of distinct stages, or transformations, before such position is attained. Until it does reach this position its stocks are not proper field in which the general public, or persons unacquainted with the mining industry should be invited or advised lo invest. With this definition the picturesque' prospector of days now gone by does hot make of'his 16'nely claim a mine by simply calling it such. The mountaineer, with'his pick and'"shovel, has only hope strong in his breast. The sturdy little band that is doing development work is yet along way off from a mine. " It is by unhatched propositions of this kind that the wily pro- motor endeavors to entrap the credulous. Not one in a thousand of these schemes develops into a real mine.
