[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.

We have all kinds of ammunition for rifles and shot guns Four years ago this week the plant lor the Phoenix Pioneer was being freighted into the Boundary from Boss burg, Wash., via Cascade and Grand Forks. There were untold troubles in getting the paper started on its feet, not the least of which was to secure a place in which to do business. After it was finally secured, the place was sans doors and windows for nearly a week, so great was the demand for mechanics and building material of all kinds. There have been many changes in Phoenix since that time, a short four years ago, but the chief mining camp of the Boundary has shown a steady growth with every year, in spite of the fact that the boom that always comes with the building of a . new rnihvav. passed away^wnth all "that it implies in the general shrinkage. Each year has seen a progress that was marked and substantial. The years have, to a large extent, been years of preparation, and the next four should see an even greater era of progress, now that the initial stages have gone into history. The Pioneer has the best evidence that the C. P. R. has recently reduced its freight rates from the east. The reduction, as we see it, is not large enough to affect the regular dividends of the company, but it is a reduction, nevertheless, and that is something, l'he total difference on a certain shipment of paper from Toronto to Phoenix was$i .05 less than the rate previously charged on an identical shipment. This is a move in the right direction, and should be encouraged, as there is no telling how low the rates may get in time. Seemingly, the eastern editor who wrote the following, had had the advantage of experience: Young man, don't swear. There is no occasion for it outside of a printing office, where it is useful when the paper is behind time. It also comes in handy in proof reading and is indispensable when the ink works bad and the press begins to' buck. It has been known to remove that tired feeling of an editor when he looks over the paper after it is printed. Outside a printing office it is a foolish thing. nt We notice in a number of exchanges references to a smelter which is to be built in the Similkameen,and it is said, will be larger than any smelter now in operation on the American continent. Can this be the Ashnola Smelter.Ltd., exploited a year or two ago by I). R. Young, and which was supposed to have fallen into innocuous desuetude? It can be set. down as a fact' that no smelters will be built in that section until railway connections are made,and as yet the only railways that have been built in the Similkameen were built a�� the smelters were^-on ���'Two steam shovels are now hard at work in the ore quarries of the Granby mines, handling the broken down ore in a most expeditious manner. The one that has been in use for some months, made especially for th purpose,'is still doing good work at the mouth of the No. 1 Knob Hi tunnel, and is giving the greatest of satisfaction. The machine was made hy the Automatic Shovel Co., of Lorain, Ohio. This Week, the second machine arrived, being loaned to the Granby Co. hy the C. P. R.y it having been at work at the gravel pits at Castlegar. On its arrival it , was immediately switched to the special track laid for its use, at the No. 1 pit or quarry, and as soon a.s it was gotten in order, was set at work loading the broken down ore directly into the C. P. R. dump cars, for transportation to the smelter. While not made:specially for this particular work, and consequently not as adaptable for it, the machine is doing very well, considering. It is larger than the No. 1 shovel, and somewhat heavier. .. ��ni"*.t<'����~,''i3"''*i*tt*ii- - i^iiii' *uf 'this month a third shovel is expected to arrive from Lorain, Ohio, where it is now heing manufactured to tin? order of the Granby Co. Work Started on Telephone System Improvements. This week the long talked of improvements to the system of the Vernon & Nelson Telephone Co. in Phoenix were started, when District Manager Hodge, of Nelson, and Foreman Irwin arrived with a force of linemen. Anew trunk line is being built up Dominion avenue and School street, through the heart of the city, and the old line, that has done .service for the last five years, will be torn down. The long cedar poles are now being put in place, and tons of wire have arrived. The new system will be the best one in the Boundary, as it will be a metallic circuit throughout���no other exchange in the Boundary being so arranged. This will give absolute privacy to all conversations, and the annoying crosstalk, which has been so prevalent, will, happily, be a thing of the past. As soon as the new system is complete, and the transfer can be completed, the central office will be moved from the present location to the First street entrance of the Bank building, in the office formerly occupied by Manager Martin, of the Phoenix Electric Lighting Co., Ltd. Mr. Hodge says that the work will be rushed with all possible speed, so that by the first of December, everything will be in good working order in the new office. Were it not for the delay in the receipt of supplies to prosecute the work, it would now be well on towards completion. During the prosecution of the work the system will be in more or less of a disarrangement, but local patrons will doubtless put up with this with little grumbling, in view of the improvements that-.will shortlyVfoliow:---- ��� ������-���-���' RUNNING NOS. 5 AND 6 Two New Furnaces at Granby Smelter.

At Wednesday's meeting of the city council, there were Mayor Rumberger and Councilmen Birnie, McDonald and Marshall. Among other matters of importance, the city clerk was directed to pay the Bank of Montreal, of Greenwood, $1,000 on account ol the note due that institution by the city, which will reduce the obligation to $8,000. The chief of police was directed to order the proprietors of the Reco laundry to ditch and pipe the waste water from that concern. G. C. Hodge, district manager of the Vernon & Nelson Telephone Co., was present, to arrange with the council the placing of the new poles that the company is now erecting on Knob Hill avenue. Mr. Hodge also talked oyer the installation of a lire alarm system in this city. In this connection, a communication was read from E. G. Warren, of the Greenwood E.lec trie Co., offering to install a lire alarm system with five boxes for $350. A letter was read from Hon. Richard McBride, Victoria, acknowledging receipt of a letter from the city clerk, in regard to the erection of a pest- house, which it was said would have attention. After attending to these various matters, the council, on a recommendation of the finance committee, ordered the payment of the following accounts: Phoenix Water Supply Co. . .$ 84 90 Mclntyre & McDonald, coal, etc J.

The sixth annual convention of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia will meet in Rossland on Wednesday, December 2nd, 1903, at 10 o'clock a. m. The boards entitled to be repre sented at this meeting are those of Nelson, Kaslo, Rossland, Moyie, Fort Steele, Grand Forks, Cascade, Revelstoke, Trail, Greenwood, Phoenix, Vernon, Cranbrook, Fernie, and Kamloops, and any other Board of Trade within the districts of Kootenay, Yale and Cariboo that has been registered under the Dominion Boards of Trade Act, and that may make application for membership. Resolutions proposed for discusssion at the Convention must be in the hands of the secretary at least twenty days prior to the date of the meeting. The usual arrangements in regard to transportation will be made, and announced later. In the temporary absence from the province of the secretary (Mr.Jackson) all communications in regard to this meeting may be sent to the President G. O. Buchanan*, of Kaslo. This week the two new furnaces at the Granby smelter, Nos. 5 and 6, were placed in blast, this being made possible by the arrival lute last week of one of the slag haulihg locomotives, that have been on the way so long, and which should have arrived two or three months ago. When the two new blast furnaces were finally placed in commission this week, two others, of the original four, were allowed to go cold for the purpose of making minor but necessary repairs, before all six furnaces were placed in operation at once. It is anticipated by the smelter management that these repairs will re, quire but a few days, and that very- shortly the full battery of the six furnaces���making by all odds the largest -milter in the entire Dominion of Canada���will be using up Phoenix ore at the rate of 2,000 tons per day. This state of affairs will probably be in effect some time next week, according to the present programme. As there is no complaint on the score of coke supply nowadays there should be a good long run ahead., of the Granby smelter at its fullest capacity, which, of .course mwwis.. tU^~~*-Mpi,.*yM.~***--.of -at least some mor men at the company's mines in this camp. It is said that there is a reserve of over, 4,000 tons of coke in the Crows Nest now, which can be drawn on. School Report for October. The report of the Phoenix public school for the month of October shows that the attendance has been steady and the progress fair. Ii> the first division the average attendance was 38.36, with eight new- pupils enrolled. In the second division there were also eight new pupils enrolled during the month, the total of enrolled pupils being 96. The average in the second division was 40. The new principal, Charles L. Thorn her, is taking hold of the work in good shape, and giving very general satisfaction. School was in session about there weeks of the calendar month. He states, how;eyer, that one great need of the school now is large maps, and hopes that arrangements will be made soon to supply them, You will make no mistake by attending the concert ball being given by the Hospital Ladies' Aid at Min-. ers' Union hall next week Friday. The union has very kindly donated the use of the hall for this qccasioi*. Fred Marrall, who had been ill some weeks at the Phoenix General Hospital, died Sunday evening, the funeral being held Tuesday, Rev. W. . Wood officiating. He was a young man of some 26 years, a native of the northern part of Germany, and had been in camp since June, coming from Washington. He was afflicted with a complication of diseases. Electric Pump Arrived at Last. This week the electric pump for the Phoenix Electric Lighting Co., Ltd., was received and is being installed al the new pump house, located near Marshall lake, a short distance from the old pump house that was burned down last week. The pump is a pretty little machine, weing complete something like 6,000 pounds, and is probably the finest of its kind ever brought into the Boun dary country. To prepare for its use the company has built a new well near the lake, where the new pump house has also been erected, having spent several thousand dollars in preparing to give the residents of Phoenix the purest water for domestic purposes of any town in the interior. It is expected that the pump will be in operation earl)' next week, the power being generated by the falls of the Kettle river at Cascade. Latest Prices in Metals.

This Week the Athelstan-Jackpot ore shipments take quite a jump. It is said that there is likely to be a reorganization at the Boundary Falls smelter shortly. It is reported that the Goldfinch, in Skylark camp, is looting better than ever with development. The Mother Lode has a private system of eight telephones, connecting different parts of the works. At the Winnipeg the compressor has been set on its bed, and the connections are being made. Next week it will be in operation. In October the Granby mines shipped 39.398 t0|,s of ore; the Mother Lode sent out 12,665 tor>s and ihe Snowshoe sent out 9,480 tons. Next Tuesday will be the monthly ��� payday for the employees of the Granby mines. It will be one of the largest paydays yet had by the company. Since the general close of the mines in and around Butte, Montana, not a few of the miners have been coming inio the Boundary to secure work. The new castings for the cylinders for the two 30 drill air compressors for the Granby mines, to take the place of those that exploded in August, arrived this week, and are being placed in position as rapidly as possible. Smith Curtis, manager of the Oro Denoro, has been at the mine again this week. Everything about the property is going along smoothly, and the shipments are soon to be at the rate of 200 tons daily, now that the air compressor is in good shape. The final payment on the Elkhorn, adjoining the Providence, is to be made next month, and will be made, like the payments on the Providence were, Y out of profits from the ore shipped.

New Curling Club Officers. l The members of the Phoenix Curling club held a meeting last Monday evening, to arrange affairs for the coming winter season The following were chosen to manage the affairs of the club: President, T. J. Hardy; vice- president, J. A. Morrin; secretary, O- B. Smith, Jr.; treasurer, G. W. Rumberger; executive committee, Isaac Crawford, Dr. R. B. Boucher and Geo. McNichol. It was decided to go on with the putting of the rink in shape against cold weather, and the prospects for the members having some good sport with the stones this winter are excel- ent. Reserved seats,without extra charge, for the Olde Folkes Concerte.can now be secured at Thos. Brown's store. A meeting of the Hospital Ladies' Aid is to be held at the residence of Mrs. Issac Crawford, Brooklyn avenue, Monday afternoi n. A full attendance is requested.

As it is very largely in their own minds.how- ever, they are reckoning without their host. There will be no pie for them at the provincial counter for a long time to come. It is now understood that the McBride ministry will meet the people, as arranged, on the26thofthis month, pass some needed fiscal legislation and then adjourn till after the holidays. By that time the by-elections will have taken ��� place, and the premier will likely have a good majority. In ten months of this year Boundary m'noo l��<v..<i ol��:rI...J ..-.imiM-U"* 530,000 tons of ore, with the probabil ity-of the year's total running upwards of 650,000 tons���an increase of 25 per cent ovea the output of 1,902. This is doing very well, when everything is taken into consideration. The Nelson News has been at pains to publish any old rumor that it's Liberal correspondent at the coast could find, and display it to the disadvantage of the McBride government. It seemed to matter little whether the item had the remarks of truth or not��� it went, just the same. But much to the disgust of the News, Mr. McBride seems to begetting along very .well j and is paying no attention to the op: position press. There is a marked difference., between the copper kings of Montana and the lesser copper kings of the Boundary. In Montana they seem to be ever in deadly conflict, and in the Boundary they get along very well to gether. And it is more than probable that British Columbia today has as much or more copper in her rock ribbed hills as has Montana. Incidentally, the war now on with greater virulence than ever in Montana, is likely to do inci'ci'Iable damage to that state and its inhab,'*ints. The increase in the price of silver means about $100,000 more monthly to the Coeur d'Alene mine ouners. The Rio Tinlo dividend this .year was 32 shillings per share, amounting to 60 per cent, on the capitalization of the company. Colorado hits become an important producer of zinc ore, the output for the year for that state being placed at 24, 241 short tons, valued at $2,544,993. Never before has so much solid de- velopment work been done in the Index mining district, Washington. The North Star, Ethel, Copper Hell and Sunset are all putting in new machinery. The official figures of the Rand gold output in Septemberare 276,197 ounces, or 300 less than the estimate cabled a few days ago. Nevertheless they show an increase of 4,279 over August. The officers of the U. S. mint at San Francisco have just given out that California produced. $16,972,100 in gold last year, placing the state second as to gold output, with Colorado at the head.. The Daly West mine at Park City, Utah, is paying its stockholders 36 per cent, per annum on a par value of $20. The Silver King mine at the same place pays its fortunate stockholders 40 percent, on a par value of $20. B.

One good ad after another compounds business at a rapid rate. There's something wrong with the business that truth will not effectively advertise., ������'���������'..- The ' appropriation for advertising should keep pace with the growth of the business. Ifyou know how to get at people in the right way, you should know how to make your advertising pay. The business man who keeps out of advertising or stops it because it is an expense will eventually find it rather expensive to be in business at all.

Un doubtedly Mr. Houston would have made a good cabinet officer, but the powers that be did not agree with him. Therefore, like the little girl, John proceeds to take his doll and wend his way homewards. Now he breathes dire vengeance on those who were the cause of his not being accepted for a- portfolio. Suppose every member elected by the Conservatives did the -same thing, as every one has just as much right to do as John "Houston. It would be a nice state of affairs. Mr. Houston made his own_bed, and must now lie on it. Two Qreal Mines. Utah has many great mines, but it has two that may be classed as exceptionally great. They are Silver King and Daly West. Since the first of the present year the Daly West has paid dividends amounting to $1,098,000, and its grand total of dividends to date is $3>355������o.' , ' The Silver King ha.s, since the first of the year, paid in dividends an even one million dollars, while its grand total of dividends to date is $6,950,- 000. International Co: (0 Employ 600 - Men Next Spring. H. N.- Galer, secretary of the International Coal & Coke Co., which is developing its coal measures at Coleman, on the Crow's Nest Pass railroad, has jnst awarded the contract for the erection of the first battery of 104 coke ovens.

It is a simple proposition. The whole country is now working on it, and women's clubs promise to take, it up. Here is the problem. Mary is 24 years old. Mary is twice as old as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now. How old is Ann? Simple, isn't it. Just as easy as rolling off a log. Of course you will say Ann is twelve. ��� Then you will think it over for a while and discover that Aim is 16. Then you will kick yourself for your stupidity and confess that the girls are the same age. Before you go to bed your mind will be full of uncertainties, and you will proceed to woik out theproblem by algebra. The problem first came up at Harvard. Football practice was suspended while'it was being worked out. Then the New York papers were - crowded with solutions, all different, Frpm New York the fever spread.

But In a recent round-up the chiimpton did a more remarkable thing, by whlcB, ��Hys the Kansas City '/Star," he saved his own and another man's life. . While he and some companions were camping for the night oh a high tableland, which ended a few miles away lit an abrupt drop of two hundred feet, a storm swept through the mountains. Made -nervous by the lightning, the herd of fifteen hundred cattle stampeded In the direction of-the precipice. Evans and his men mounted'hurriedly and, circling to the front of the'mad- der.��d cattle, tried with whoops and revolver-shots to turn them back. In the dense blackness of the night Evans's horse missed his footing and went down In a heap, one leg In a gopher-hole. The horse of a cowboy named Davis, rurmlng ��� close behind, stumbled over Evans's horse, and Davis, too, came to earth and lay still, unconscious. '-���������- Fifty yards away came the herd, and a short flash of lightning showed Evans the situation. The swiftly moving pea of cattle reached one hundred yards each'-way. titrable to'urbus'e "Davis, and never thinking of leaving his disabled comrade. Evans took the only chance of saving both. -He emptied his own revolver and his companion's Into the center of the herd, cutting a breach In the front of the mass. Then, throwing the" Inanimate form of Davis over his shoulder, he awaited his opportunity. As one ot the leaders brushed by, Evans, with one movement, put the body of Davis acros.i theshoulders of the steer, and mounted/also. Vainly the. animal leaped, bucked and side- Jumped, With his lej-s wrapped tightly around the boiy of hH mount, Evans drove his spurs deep In, and held himself and Davis In place. The steer, wild with rage, agony and frlfc-ht rap.ldly left the herd In the rear, and; veering to the right-'In.'a furious gallop, carried his riders out of danger. Then' Evans rolled off the back of his strange rescuer, and a half-hour later, when his cowboys turned the herd'at the rim of the canyon, and rode back to look for the foreman and Da via, they found them, both unconscious. Tho weary steer, with his sides covered With blood, lay exhausted a short dls- tanpe ajvay.

When they found themselves on the shore the millionaire nodded affably to the -beggar and said: "I don't remember to have seen you before, but I suppose you must have been on the steamer. Second cabin?" "No, stowaway. It'a cheaper." "Ah, yes. I hadn't thought of that. Well, this shlpwieck is something of a lcveler, and we might as well be friendly and see how wc can help each other until we are rescued. What can you do?" "I? Oh, I can beg." "I'm afraid that in the absence of inhabitants that Is a useless accomplishment," replied the millionaire. "Well, what can you do. yourself?" "I can buy," said the millionaire. "Umph!" said the beggar. "A very just remark," said the millionaire. "I see that we are on the same footing and the outlook is discouraging." "That Is Just where I fall to agree with you," said the beggar. "Kor tha first time since I can remember 1 can live without beggJng. Bee, (he Island Is full of bananas." "But," said the other, "bananas don't agree with me." "You should have bought a better digestion when your money had purchasing power. Still, If you don't like fruit, there are fish. I see them leaping in the cove there, and we can make Are with your spectacles for a burning, glass," "Hut fish almost poison me, I never eat them." "Well, you are difficult. But there Is a small bird." "I never eat them without the accompaniment of a cold bottle. Still, I suppose I could go a small bird If you caught lt and cooked It'J." The twain spent months on the Island and the beggar grew fat while the- millionaire became as thin as- an ascetic. One day, while the millionaire watched the beggar making a meal of weak fish and fried bananas he said: "1 would give all my millions (if I could get at them) for your appetite." "There have been times," said the beggar, "when I would have Jumped at your offer, but as we seem out of the track of steamers I won't even consider It. And to tell the truth, 1 don't believe that all your millions would make these fish any more delicate to. my palate nor would seven millions buy so luscious a banana In New York a.s this that Is now slipping over my tongue. Rut as for you, it you could buy my appetite it would be cheap at any price, for I am-happy and fat and you are starving and sad. A.word of ndvlee.

The story runs that the Princes* dressed herself in boy's clothes and accompanied her hustoand to the Institution. The gates were opened to them, and the Prince sent his card to th�� father superior, with a line to the effect that he was accompanied by �� friend.' ,,���-.-' Just as they were' about to make the round of the building the word was received that the fattier would like to see the Prince and "his friend." Going upstairs they were received by the smiling monk, who cordially invited them to join him in an appetizing lunchton. The Princess endeavored to make the best of the situation, but she was not put any the-more at her ease by th. fact that the monk kept-gazing sharply at her. At last he exclaimed suddenly: "Catch lt, young man!" at the same time throwing at her a large pear. The Princess was startled, and, thrown completely off her guard, made a motion to grab up her skirt, the absenca of which she overlooked In her confusion. Then the father stopped smiling and ���aid with great gravity: "I beg your paidrJn, madam, but ladles are not allowed In the monastery. I 'must ask you to wait outside until the Prince has finished his inspection." And outside she had to go. the reverend father bowing her from the room with most elaborate politeness. arn interest at 3%. Rate paid by very leading Bank in Canada, stablished in 1859.

The Democracy of Children. ONE amusing trait In children te their unconscious democracy. 'They are nearly always democratic when permitted any latlt/'de. The desire for playmates levels sense of caste. If any exists. On a s.'.reet through which I often pass there !s a coterie of children "who blend with the most thorough harmony, although they are-of quite different social strata. One of the boys |3 a "smart" young gentler man in knickerbockers, always well groomed; another is a little Italian; a third, the thin, restless, wide awak ion of a housekeeper. "One of the litti ffliis is a negress, with her woolly ha. standing out from her head In thli cutved-up tails.'. She Is quite a b>��lle I this "irlxed" company.���Hanper'a "Sa tar" v Commenting on Mrs. Astor's alleged statement, that "without a college education,; no man can be a gentleman," Mr. c Twain says that "perhaps Mrs. A."lor, when sn�� u����o the word 'gentlenmn,' does not have the same meaning in view that we rude people have." He thinks she probably means "a leader of cotillions; a spick and span dandy, who knows enough to observe the ordinary rulea of politeness when he Is on parade, and who has a vnlet at home to tell him what clothes are proper to wear." Twain's Idea of a gentleman is "a kliVlly, courteous, unselfish man, who thfnks first not of himself, but ot his fellow-man; not one of those 'chappies,' who are In reality the most selfish men on earth," and he adds: "Taka the men of prominence In the Unkt-d States today and pick out the true gentlemen. I'll venture that nine out of ten of them never had a high school education, let alone a college education. Why, the first gentlem in I ever knew was an old California miner, who could hardly write his own- name. He was a '4!ier, and he and his partner had struck It rich In the early days. The old man had neither chick nor child, and he had worked hard all his life, and when he did get his money lie hardly knew what to do with it. He didn't try to Jump Into society, or to push his way with the 'big fellows' there. He continued to live.with tha people he had associated with all his life, and many an act of kindness was done, many a wandering son and father saved, many a sorrow ing woman's burden lightened and her life brightened by an unknown donor whose Identity was only known to a few. It w.13 different with his partner. He had a wife and two daughters with social aspirations, and after a whole lot ot pushing and hauling and shoving they landed In society. The expense was too much of a drain on the husband's purse, and he speculated, with the Inevitable outcome. He lost his entire fortune and shot himself. Then it was the true gentlemanllness of the old man showed Itself. Tl.e widow and her daughters had no one to turn lo but him, and he did not disappoint them. He saved thuli home for them when everything else went under the humnvcr, and he maintained them In It In all the regal style to which they were accustomed, although he still lived in his old lodgings. He lived long enough to see both of tlie girls well married and the mother comfortably settled for life. Then he died in a charity hospital In San Francisco. He had spent every penny he owned on tho family of his partner. That Is what I call a gentleman."
