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.

Ore f l^^^^a^s^yOo^^y^arTgl This week a deal was made which, it is believed, is one of the most important that has token place in the Boundary for some time past. This is nothing less than the acquirement by lease of the properties, machinery and stamp mill of the Cariboo-McKinney Mining & Milling Co., Ltd., of Toronto, by a syndicate of Phoenix men. The property is the well known Cariboo free gold mine, in Camp McKinney, situated some 30 miles west of Midway. Negotiations for .the lease have been carried on for some months with the officers of the company in Toronto, of which Robert Jaffray is president, and have only just been successfully completed. A force of men has already been sent to the property, to put the machinery in order and to begin pump ing out the mine, preparatory to active operations. The lease was secured by Dr. R. B. Boucher, W. S. Macy, L. Y. Birnie and A. B. Hood and associates, A practical mining man of experience will be secured as superintendent and have charge of the operations to be conducted at the Cariboo. History of the Cariboo. Probably no mine in the Boundary fgn had had a more checkered career than the Cariboo, with ups and downs the story of which would fill several columns. It is one of the oldest claims in the Boundary, has produced, according to official reports, more than $1,000,000 worth of gold bullion, and has paid more than $540,000 in dividends. Work was discontinued at the end of 1903, on the recommendation of the superintendent, and the more or less extensive' underground workings allowed-to fill with wate:,. having remained that way for something like three years, or up to the present time, the property, being in charge of a caretaker. Old timers in Camp McKinney have always -had great faith in the Cariboo, 'up to the time of closing the most successfully conducted property in that camp, and the only one which ever paid any thing back to its owners. Notwithstanding the closing of the mine, on the adrice of those in charge, they believed that the property still had great possibiities as a gold producer. It is hardly necessary to state that the few old timers who have Stayed with the camp, with their great fiiiih, are not a little gratified to see operations once more being started on the most important property of them all. Camp McKinney's discovery dates back to 1884, when two placer miners, Goericke and Runnels, came across the cappings on the Victoria and Old England mines. The camp, however, takes its name from a prospector, Al. McKinnev, who three years later dis covered and located the croppings of the new famous Cariboo vein, which stood out boldly to view,.with the free gold plainly visible within. The prop erty was worked more or less in the early- nineties, the Butte and Boston Company having an option on it in 1894-5. George B. McAulay snd J. I'. Keane, of Spokane, and who had been operating in the Couer d'Alenes, but were discouraged with the then prevailing low price of silver, became interested in the Cariboo, and it was I worked more steadily, and, it is understood, with no little profit. James Mo- noghan, of Spokane.'was at onetime the largest owner, and it is understood lhal his profits from the Cariboo put him on his feet in the hard times. The first unit of the stamp mill was brought from the Rainbow mine, in Washington, and it is stated that the owners of the mine had difficulty in raising money enough to pay the duty on the macninery. This was soon arranged, however, as soon as the stamp mill was started in operation. From that time on the mine produced no small amount of gold, for a time losing the vein, and then finding it again after spending thousands of dollars in the search. Once it cost $35,000 to find the faulted vein, but gold worth $200,- 000 was the result. The owning company has title to seven claims in Camp McKinney, be- inu the Cariboo, Amelia, Okanagan, Alice, Kmina, Maple Leaf and Sawtooth fraction, all adjoining. The property is fully equipped with all needed Cascade, machinery, including a ten drill Rand Sidley. air compressor, hoist, pumps, 20-stamp Keremeos. mill, consisting of lour batteries of Osoyoos. five stamps each, boilers, settlers, con- Carson, centrating tables, etc. A maximum depth of 560 feet was attained in the Total .... shafts, with several thousand feet of workings at the several levels. Official McRae Bros. reports covering the last four jears of IS����nm�� to fiet their operation by the Cariboo company '���shape. gave the following interesting details: Ore stamped and nulled, tons, 60,376 Bullion produced, oz., 381878 Concentrates produced, tons,. .. 2,077 Total values, realized, . . ... .$575,589 The average ore output of the Cariboo was in the neighborhood of 15,- 000 tons per year, values running from $5.50 to $10 per too. From 40 to 50 men were employed at the property. Munro-Dunlop Weddli(. A quiet wedding took place on Wednesday, at 2.30 p.m., at the residence of W. J. Prendergast, Oro Denoro, the contracting parties being Henry Alexander Munro, well known in Phoenix as the proprietor of the Skating rink, and Christina McLain Dunlop of Arnprior, Ontario, sister of Mrs. Prendergast. The , bridegroom was assisted by J. Stuart'Hudson, of Phoe nix, and the bridesmaid was Miss Mary Backlund, of Medical Lake, Washington. \\ After the ceremony the party sat down to a substantial repast, after which Mr, and Mrs. Munro left by the C. P. R., while the mines tooted their whistles in honor of Denoro's first wedding, to spend their honeymoon in Spokane, intending* to take up their residence on Gran by place, Phoenix, on their return. Rev. C. Wellesley Whittaker, pastor of Phoenix Methodist Church, performed the ceremony. G. N. HAS ITS OWN TROUBLES To Get Coal to Haul Ore, Coke, Etc. Boundary Mining Notes Impasse at Coal Strike Centre Continues. OCTOBER HAD 94,860 TONS Output From Boundary- Mines. Months' Record Nearly 1,000,000 Tons. Notwithstanding the troubles at the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co.'s coal mines, whence the bulk of smelter fuel supplies for this section were .formerly secured, the ore output of Boundary mines for the month of October, was 2,500 tons larger than it was for the month of Septtmber. The. Sep ternber total was^, 92,311 tons, while October's record was 64,860 tons of ore. The Granby sent out some 6,000 tons less than the previous month and the Snowshoe contributed very little, but the B. C. Copper. Co. is once more on the list with 12,120 tons to its credit, and Dominion Copper Co. beat September by 1,200 tons. In detail, the figures for the several individual mines for October, as reported to the Phoenix Pioneer were as follows: MINE. TONS. Granby Consolidated 62,335 Snowshoe 680 B. C.

'1 he Great Northern has, it it is said, thousands of tons of eastern coke on the road for the Granby smelter, that it finds the greatest difficulty to haul, on account of shortage of steam coal. In addition, there are thousands of cars of general merchandise tied up all over the system for the same reason. The coal now being used in this district comes from ' Sand \"Coulee, Montana, but it is poor, and there is not enough of it. For the last week the Granby smelter has had its troubles even in hauling ore from Phoenix, because of lack of steam coal. Last week Friday,, the. G. N. did not take a ton of ore out of Phoenix, and the same thing has happened this weekrf Not being able to get even the expensive eastern coke to the Granby smelter promptly, at one time four of the eight furnaces were banked or blown out, to be_ blown in again in a few days. Six furnaces have been running part of the time this week. The C. P. R. seems to be able to get along better than the G. N. for steam coal, probably for the reason that the C. P. R. has a number of other sources of supply in the Kootenays that the G. N. does not reach. Striken SHU Hold Out. For eight or ten. days there were conferences between Manager Lindsay, of the Crow's Nest Co., and National Board Member Burke, of the United Mine Woikers of America, :at, Eernie, but on Tuesday it was announced that the negotiations did not produce a basis of settlement, and the strike still continues. Divested of all frills, it has practically come down to the question of the \"closed shop\" or \"open shop\" pol icy at Fernie, the men standing for the former, and the management for ihe latter, with neither willing to make concessions. One thing seems pretty sure, and that is that shareholders and directors want results in the shape of dividends, and they are not getting them under management of G. G. S. Lindsay, of Fernie. ' When v they get tired of waiting, ..Mr. Lindsay will be told, in the language of the street; \"Skidoo 23, \" and a man who can sej- cure results will succeed him. one who can get along with the coal miners; difficult as that task seems to be. ' Ore is being recefved^.at the Boundary Falls smelter from the Oversight mine on the American side. A strike of no little importance is reported from the Mavis mine, adjoining the Bay, and which is believed to have the rich Bay lead.- Monday night the building and seven drill compressor at the B. C. Copper Co.s Oro Denoro mine, Summit camp, was burned to the ground. During October, 48,010 shares of Dominion Copper were traded in on the New York curb. High was $7.50, low was $5.25, and last sale was at $6. CHICAGO MEN r AT CRESCENT.. The Mine is Steadily Looking Better. > Ore was sent out. from the Idaho mine again this week, after a cessation to permit the filling of the Dominion avenue glory hole with waste from the Idaho ore bins. Last week Friday four furnaces were' blown out at the Granby smelter, owing to the shortness of coke which was expected from the east. .Early this week two_ furnaces were blown in again, and by today two more are expected to be operated, making the full battery of eight, if eoke is not again short. J. A. McMaster, of this city, has taken a bond on the Mountain Chief group, in Franklin camp, consisting of the Mountain Chief, Mountain Chief fraction and Victoria claims, which have an excel lent, copper showing. The vendors are Patrick Maginnis, Donald Matheson and J. C. Henderson.. The bond is for eighteen months, and active development will be started in the spring, the property being located near the well known Gloucester mine. E. H. Thruston, chief owner of the Carmi mine, in the West Fork district, who recently closed the property, has given a lease and bond on the mine to Geotge H. Williams and Julius Erlich, of Greenwood. Mr. Williams was formerly superintendent of the B. C. Copper Co.'s smelter at Greenwood, while Mr. Erlich is well known throughout the Boundary. The Carmi mine is reputed to be one of the best properties in the West Fork section, and the lessees are now equipping it with whatever additional, machinery may be necessary, and will systematically develop the mine. , Values Now Run About $ 150 v Per Ton. BLOWN TO PIECES AT THE GOLD DROP the; Charles Hedberg Tamped Powder Too Hard. About midnight Tuesday Charles Hedberg was blown to pieces at the Gold Drop mine by a premature explosion, while his working partner, Peterson, next to him, miraculously escaped without a scratch. Hedberg had been working in the camp for several years, wks a young man of 25- years and unmarried. A round of holes had been drilled in the drift from the tunnel, about 300 feet from the entrance, and one hole had been loaded. The second hole was being loaded by Hedberg, he having put in seven sticks of powder. While he was tamping the powder down, Peterson warned him that he was doing it too hard and that it was dangerous. Just then Peterson stooped to get the eighth stick, with fuse and cap, and the explosion took place, instantly killing Hedberg and blowing him over Pejerson. The unfort.unate man was badly mangled in the explosion. Wednesday afternoon a jury was empanelled by the Coroner A. S. Black, consisting of the following: David Oxley, J. F. Jones, Ed. Brown, David Speare, Angus Nicholson and John Manning. After hearing the evidence of Peterson and foreman John Swanson, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death from a premature expl: sion at the Gold 1 >rop mine The funeral of Hedberg was held Thursday afternoon under the auspices of Phoenix Miners' Union No' S, of j which deceased was a member in good | standing, the bunai taking place in the Pnoenix city cemetery. New Minister lor St. Johns. The bishop has appointed a new minister for St. John's church of England in Phoenix, Rev. R. A. Heath, formerly of West Plains, Missouri. Mr. Heath, accompanied by his wife, arrived here Thursday, and will have charge of the church services tomorrow, at which Rev. Archdeacon Beer, of Kaslo, will also be present and take part. Regular services will be held at the church tomorrow morning at 1 r o'clock, at which Holy Communion will be dispensed, there also being preaching services in the evening at 7130 o'clock. All churchmen and others interested are heartily invited to be present. A party of eastern capitalists who are interested in the Crescent and Preston mines in the high grade belt, visited Phoenix and their mines this week, travelling in a private Pullman coach. It consisted of Col. T. L. Dickason, of Chicago, president of the Crescent Mines, Ltd.; W. Ii.' McDoel, president of the Monon railway system; W. W. Wicks, president ol the Mathers Stone Co., of Chicago and Bloom ington, Ind.; and E. F. Johnson, insurance, of Chicago. The car was the private vehicle of President McDoel, and was one of the finest yet seen in the Boundary, being fitted up with every known convenience for travelling and living purposes. After visiting the mines referred to, a couple of miles below Phoenix, Col. Dickason, who has\" been in the Boundary several times previously, had the following to say to the Pioneer man about theCrescent mine, where development has been steadily prosecuted under W. H. Jeffrey,. M. E.: \"I am well satisfied with the work done so farat the Crescent, and with the showing of high grade ore made. The main shaffhas attained a depth of about 200 feet, the values having steadily increased from top to bottom, commencing at $30 or $40 per ton, and now running up to $150 per ton in ��� gold and silver. The vein itself has increased in width steadily as depth has been obtained, and it is now about two feet between the walls, with pay ore from five to 12 inches in width. \"We are now seriously considering the installation of an air compressor plant, to be installed in the near future, but we shall continue sinking anyway for the present, the electric -. hoist which we have in use giving us the best of service.\" Speaking of the Preston,, almost ad-, joining theCrescent, which is owned by the Preston Mining Co., also of Chicago, Col. Dickason said: \"A meeting cf this company will be held in Chicago by the first of December, to consider means of raising more money for development, and it is Ifk'e- ly that work may be resumed at this property at no distant date.\" A. M. Whiteside, of Greenwood, solicitor and treasurer of the Crescent Mines, Ltd., and Alex. Miller, of Greenwood, were with the party during their stay in camp. The party left yesterday morning for Seattle, and will visit Portland, Salt Lake and Denver on the return trip to the east. BOUNDARY DIVIDENDS. 5 \"Xuti-ior- NAMK OFCOMI'AXV.

More than three years ago the,Pioneer, undertook the more or less formidable task of publishing an annual or Holiday Number, fully illustrated, in book form. It is a matter of newspaper, history now how success was achieved with that number, from a publicity standpoint, if from no other. Each succeeding year a number of this kind has been issued, arid was kindly received and liberally patronized by those most interested in the upbuilding of the Boundary district. If the publisher did not grow rich from these issues, he had the satisfaction of knowing tbathis efforts to make the Boundary more widely known were-;appreciated, and it is quite within the j bounds of reason to state that the :Boundary is better and more favorably] known on this account. A board of trade is being formed the Nicola Valley. The Bank of Montreal has opened a branch at Summerland. Silverton, on Slocan lake, has four large producing mines and other shippers. Kaslo has sent five boxes of locally grown apples and pears to the Colonial Exhibition which will be held in Lion- don in December. A proclamation appears in the B. C. Gazette calling the attention \"of all loyal subjects to the King's Birthday, oh November 9th, 1907 as a day of celebration thereof. Some time next month the C. P^ R. expects to operate trains from St. Paul to Spokane, via the Soo line, C. P. R'. and the new.Spokane and, International, or Corbin line, which is just being completed. Hapiagror Better Fallal Service. In a recent \"public address, , Hon; Mr. Aylesworth is reported by the^Toronto Globe as saying: \"Mr. Ayles-- worth took occasion to refer to the splendid surplus in the postofnee department, and intimated that he 'believed his Ministerial colleagues had under careful investigation the whole situation with the hope of giving back to the people of Canada much of that money in the way of better service; better postal delivery and better salaries.\" Thai's just what the people want and expect and the sooner the policy is adopted, the better for the people.- Lethbridge, Herald. Summary of Work of the Commission. The investigation of the zinc resources of B. C. was undertaken in response from petitions from the Silver- gi Lead Association and the Associa- ��� I ted Boards of Trade of British Columbia. The work was divided amongst the most experienced men that could be obtained and the investigation was intended to cover the following points: (1) The examination of the present development of mines to determine the tonnage of zinc ore immediately available; its occurrence and character and the future prospects, together with the cost of mining. (2) Examination of the present methods of milling. (3) Invstigation of the adaptability of the ores to the new methods of concentration (magnetic, electric, etc.) (4) The study of conditions affecting the marketing of the concentrates, including the question of smelting in the province or elswhere in Canada.(5)The investigation of the possibility of the special utilization of the zinc ore if of high silver content. It was found that zinc in large com- marcial quantities could be produced in B.C. With respect to the occurrence and character of zinc ores these have, in every case, been carefully examined and described in detail. The report is accompanied by plates illustrating their geological features. The future prospects of milling are that correct methods of treatment must be adapted for.the different classes of ore and that by observance of the suggestions made Dy the commission, a stable zinc industry will be established. The cost of mining in every possible case was determined and amounted to $2.50 per ton of law \"material taken out in two of the largest .mines; this sum includes general and engineering expenses. The proper method for milling of each class of ore - is clearly set forth in the report and. if closely followed will enable these non-producers to resume operations at a profit. Several schemes for milling .'with best appliances are also enumerated It was found possible to produce zinc concentrate assaying upwards of 40 per cent zinc and sometimes.50per cent zinc. Up to 1905 the production of zinc ore in B. C. was approximately 11,060 tons which . was chiefly . exported to ' the United States. Since the'.\"establishment of Canadian smelting works at Alberta, Canada has entered the , market, for these ores. . ., ' The question of, smelting in British Columbia or elsewhere .in Canada is minutely treated in the report. B. C. is the better situated because coal can be produced for about $1.50 per ton; one ton of ore requiring two tons of coal for smelting. It was demonstrated that zjnc ore. smelting, is commercially fashionable in Canada. ..The report,'dealing as it'does with thev.raetar- jurgy of zinc, is the only one of its kind in existence and is already recognized as a high authority on these subjects The demand for.copies of this volume has been enormous. It consists of 378 pages, beautifully illustrated with maps and pictures and with reports by the leading .mining experts of today.

Accordingly, about Christmas time, the Pioneer's Fourth Annual will make its appearance, and we believe that we .are justified in promising a better and .more complete publication than - has yet appeared, even from the power presses of the Pioneer. While last year, we undertook to publish 3,000 copies of the Holiday Number, this year the edition will be 5,000, and will thoroughly cover the mining and smelting industries of the Boundary. For this number we are now having made scores of new half-tone engravings, and no effort will be spared to make the text as reliable and accurate -as possible under the circumstances. While this Holiday Number will cost more to issue than previous numbers, the price of copies, 25 cents each, will be the same. Those who desire to secure copies will do well to place Jheir orders in advance, as it is next to certain that the entire edition will be spoken for before the last form is off the presses. take?

PRICE PROTECTION R. C. Campbel-Johnson, an English mining engineer, will be remembered by many old timers in the Slocan, having operated in that section when things were booming with the white metal. Later he was in the Boundary for some months, but ' he continued west, and lately has made headquarters in the Nicola district. There it is reported he has succeeded in interesting the Guggenheim interests in the I. X. L. group of claims on Ten Mile creek. REPORT ON EMMA ilNE At Annual Meeting ?f Hall Mining W Smelting''Co. Average Values Obtained were $4.77 Per ton. Here is a bit of philosophy, from an exchange, that is worth reading twice: Do not get it into your head that you are to slave out your life for the sole purpose of accumulating all the money you can possibly lay your hands on. No, mix it up with work and rest, making and spending, help yourself and help the other fellow. That is the well rounded life. Mayor Mowat of Kingston says the militia department is the most stupidly managed in the public service. If he came out west he would soon change his mind and present his adjectives to the postofnee department.

The new Heberlein roaster at the Hall Mines smelter has been installed, thus placing a valuable adjunct at the service of the smelter in its pursuit of economical reduction of ores. \"Saucy Sally\" is the name chosen by Arthur E. Hepburn, engineer for the Guggenheim Exploration Co., for that corporation's large holdings on Guich- on Creek in Upper Nicola. The group is three miles long and a mile wide, aggregating nearly forty full sized mineral claims. J.J. Campbell, of the Nelson smelter, acting also, it is understood, for P. S. Couldrey, of LeRoi No. 2, Rossland. and R. Eslinger, of Spokane, owning a controling interest in the I lewitt, has bought a half interest in the Loma Doona and three other properties on Slocan Lake, adjoining the Hewitt and Vancouver group, lately acquired by Couldrey.

Campbell, the business manager, in the course of his report, had the following , to say about the Emma Mine, Summit Camp, in which the company has one-quarter interest: Emma Mine.���The :British Columbia Copper company, who own a three-quartes rinterest in this property, have continued in charge of the operations under their agreement with us. There has been much disappointment in getting electrical p\\>wer for operating this mine,, and it is not now expected until November i, the power company riot being able to secure delivery of the necessary copper wire for transmission. Operations have been consequently hampered, and it was found necessary to install a temporary steam-driven compressor plant to supplement the power from the Oro Lenoro plant. This temporary plant was provided by the British Columbia Copper company from their Mother Lode mine and their smelter, and the cost of installation has been charged to working expenses. ';_ The new plant has been installed ready for the electrical power. It consists of a 200 h. p. aioo-volt Westing house motor, an 8xio Lidgerwood hoist, and a compound belt-driven Rand air compressor with Corliss valve-gear; capacity 1400 feet of air per minute. The policy has been to use as much as possible of the limited available power upon' development work, at the same time shipping enough ore to supply the needs of the British Columbia Copper company's smelter and our own. Much of the ore so shipped was from No. 1 tunnel, .which entered the ore body a short distance from the shaft and has been driven altogether in ore since, to a distance of 387 feet from the shaft. As the tunnel was driven the ore was extracted for the full width of the vein excepting for about 50 feet, where on account of the ore containing a higher, percentage of lime than usual, it was desirable to leave it until shipments were increased. The vein is about 20 feet wide until it reaches this point, then for about 50 feet the width has not been determined, and for- the last 60 feet of the tunnel it has been from 30 to 35 feet wide, the whole width of the vein being magnetite carrying about 1 per cent copper, gold and silver to the value of about $1.00; 45 per cent metallic iron^ about 15 per cent lime, and 12 per cent silica, and worth at the mine at present about $5 per ton. Some ore has been taken from the upper stopes, aud about 8000 tons are broken in the stopes ready to be drawn off into the tunnel when required. The sinking of the shaft has been continued, and it is now 272 feet from the collar to the bottom. No. 2 tunnel will soon be started from a point 250 feet below the collar, giving about 90 feet vertical depth between, the two tunnels. The British Columbia Copper company has nearly finished extensive ad ditions to its smelting plant which will give it a capacity of about 1500 tons daily, so that its requirements of Emma ore will be much increased though the extent to which this will be the case will depend upon the analysis of the ores received from the other mines. The new plant will admit of an output of about 400 tons daily, aud I think it probable that 50,000 tons will be disposed of during the curreni financial year. The past year has been one of development and equipment, and during it the mine has very greatly increased in value, and we may now look for regular profits from it. Owing to various causes the proposed prospecting work on the Jumbo claim in the Emma group has not been done, but it is hoped that it will not be much longer deferred. Mountain Rose.���Our co-owners in this claim, the Dominion Copper company, shipped to their smelter during the year 846 tons of this ore, and have now finished driving a tunnel cutting the vein 50 feet below the tunnel driven by us. The ore there is the same as above and the vein is about 15 feet wide. The ground under No. 1 tunnel has been prospected by three diamoud drill holes from the bottom of that tunnel. One at an angle of 70 degrees west passed out of the ore at about 20 feet, a vertical hole did the same, and a hole at an angle of 70 degrees east continued in ore for .10 feet, indicating that the vein had again faulted to the east. - No. 1 tunnel has about 300 feet to go to come under the most northerly point,-where we uncovered the vein on the surface, at which point we found the highest gtade copper ore. The shipments duiing the year have been: 2079 tons to the British Columbia Copper Company. 1025 tons to the Granby Consolidated Mining. Smelting and Power Company, Ltd. 8060 tons to the Hall Mining and Smelting Company, Ltd. A total of 11,164 tor.s, with a value of $33,2*9, or an average of $4-7 7 Per ton. inHiefiha.p&Ru-NA MRS. ANNA MUNDEN , There can be no doubt about it that the tendency to resort to surgical operations has been too great in the past and that this harmful tendency Is growing less every day. Experience has demonstrated that many ailments which soomed to require surgical operations in the past aro now being cured by tho use of harmless remedies. Poruna has done aa much as any other remedy to establish this very Important fact. Thousands of people have been condemned to undergo surgioal operations. Their physicians have told them that they moat either submit to such operational or loae their lives. After this they have resorted to Peruna and found relief. Other good remedies have accomplished the same result, but it is safe to assume tbat no other remedy has equaled Peruna in its beneficent work. Many of the alleged incurable derangements of the pelvis are dependent npon catarrh. There is no euro for these except the removal of the catarrh, Parana seemingly works miracles in tome of theae cases. The explanation, however, is very simple. Peruna re- movaa the catarrh and Nature does the ���eat. Suffered Thirteen Yea * \\mvti Pelvic Troubles, . ..duie to Find Relief. AN OPERATION ADVOCATED.

The glory hole is fenced. It appears that Matheson was perfectly familiar .with the opening of the glory hole, where, on one side, a ladder otters a short cut into the mine.
