[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.

Morrin, Thompson & Co, The Commission appointed hy the Provincial Government, to enquire into the system of taxation at present in vogue in this province, heard the evidence of (.1. \V. Wooster, treasuier anil director of the (iianby Consolidated, Saturday. Mr. Wooster testified as to ihe grade of, ore his company was trenting, il being in about the same position as lhe H. C. Copper Co. They were handling "under three dollar ore, and only by Ihe exercise of rigid economy in operation were they able to carry on business. Three dollars per (on represented the average recovered value of Phoenix ore for lhe last fiscal year, thc company's sole supply of ore coming from this one group of mines. Of course they also-treated other ore as customs smelters. I lis had also had the same experience as the B.C. Copper Co. in regard to the decline of ore values. As a remedy for the present handicapping conditions, Mr. Wooster said that he.would like to be relieved entirely of the two per cent tax as long as thc present low price of copper continued.. There was 'absolutely no profit in the business at present, although it would doubtless be". all right if the metal market improved. The company had not been able ro pay a dividend during ihe past two years; it was hard to 'make any British Columbia copper mine pay in the present status of the -metal market. Some few were paying, but these were not working in the same low grade of. ore-that his company was mining, lie would not go so far as io say that the present tax Was actually prohibitive; but at tbe current price of copper it bore very heavily and was in reality a tax on the mining cost. 11... was asked for, owing lo prevailing con-J taxation I think this would work dilions in the copper market. out more equitably than the two per To Commissioner Malkin, Mr. | cent tax,'and would be ..'much easier Wooster said thai the average assay i calculated."

"I should suggest tbe remission of the really tax on the smelter,, holding thai this is part of the mining property, and thus legitimately entitled to exemption' as part of the mining plant quite as much as the mine itself.

"This is about 75 per cent of the plant's capacity. Just as soon as coke is available in sufficient quantity, which should be about December 15, we shall go up Io tbe full capacity ot the plant. "About -H> per cent of our ores are custom ores, though, eliminating the Dominion Copper company, which we control, we are handling only 200 tons a day of outside ores. "We are developing a number of properties under bond. The Greyhound, one mile from Greenwood, is being prospected by diamond drilling. Thc I.. II. group, near Silver- ton, is being developed by tunnels. This is a free milling and concentrating gold properly, though located in the immediate vicinity ol" several big silver-lead mines. Wo are prospecting some properties on [.a Flour mountain, near Danville, Wash., by shafts and open cuts. The V'oight group, near Piinetoo, is being prospected on an extensive scale, '{'here wo are employing 35 men on, de an d distant about 100 feet apart. Prospect shafts have been sunk: one is 21 5 feet in depth, and it is claimed lhat the ore in ihe bottom is 5 ft. in width, with lead as its chief metal. On another vein a shaft i.s down 1 10 feet, and on another a depth of <S7 feet has been reached. In the bottom of a 40 foot shaft a ten-inch vein of ore is staled to occur, from which assay returns as high as S75 in gold have been obtained. In addition, there has heen much surface prospecting done, and so impressed were those owning the property with the promise given hy appearances in the various prospect workings that, they organized the Argo company, sold what shares the}- couk\ find buyers for, put much ol* their own time and money into the work of development al depth, and generally gained for themselves much praise for lhe enterprise and energy, albeit they have not yer met with the success they fully believe awaits them when they shall reach the lead they are now engaged in driving for.

Il is authoritatively stated, that only a very short time will elapse between lhe time the coal mines resume operations and tbe recommencement of work in tbe Granby mines in Phoenix. An important fact, likely to facilitate matters, is that the company have kept most ol" its staff engaged throughout the shut down, while the remainder are all within casv roach.

In one of his latest stories Robert B-irr brings his hero. Lord Str(inlt*igh, to Canada, where he has an amusing r-.perience with the Immigration of- deer. The trouble with the incident is that it could not have haDDened, and the officials at Montreal and else-, ivhi-re are annoyed. Mr. Barr represents Stranleigh us traveling with hi? valet and bearing with him letters of introduction to hankers in Montreal Toionto and New York. At Montreal he met with a.i experience which made him wonder if he were within the boundaries of the Br tish Empire. No doubt he will he excused hy many because of the purpose he had in j view in making protest against one feature of the Canadian regulations covering the admission of emi- giants.- but lie quite failed to master his facts. He d"scrihes the immigration official as being the man who had discovered thnt'on several occasions immigrants, assisted by their friends, had traveled ^ first-class- in stead of second or third in order to escape the restrictions sat up a.-rninst the admission of- paupers. This b? where Mr. Barr goes, astray. No man would pa/ $40 or $50 extra in passage money in order to uvoid the necessity of possessing $25 on landing. But Mr Barr had to oreiite this kind of situii. tion in order to bring Lord Stran- leigh, "the richest man in the world,'' up against one of our immigration fifhcials. And so the official, little knowing the man he was dealing with, tackled his.lordship. "Do you possess twenty-five* dollars'" asked the official sternly of the richest man in England, who gave the name of Edmund Trev.-l.vai!.' "I've cot two dollars." answered Strauleigh, "or perhaps sixpence less since my last bottle of Bass." "Ar? you a farm laborer?" was the next question. "1 have occasionally worked upon a firm, but I never made any money at it." "Did you earn the money .that paid your passage?' "Well, now that you corner me, I can't .-say that I did."

R. B. Angus, the president, in the chair. The annual statement submitted was one of the best in the history of this financial institution. The Bank of Montreal which is" so ultimately bound up with the. financial history of this country has become the strongest of our financial institutions. At the present her total assets have reached the enormous sum of $240,000,000. With her 147 branches scattered throughout, the country the b;,nk is able to keep in close touch with the business interests of eveiy community, and is doing her full share in promoting the financial and industrial development of the country. Tho annual raport showed a balance of profit and loss on Oct. 31, 1909, of $603,796.- The profits for the year ended Oct. 31, 1910, after deducting cha g"s of- mana--ement and making full provi ion for all bad and doubtful d-bts, was $1,7*)7,992. making the total profits $2,401,789. From this was deducted four quarterly" div'den 's r.t 2 1-2 per cent., amounting altogether to $1,440,000, leaving a balance of profit and loss carried forward at the end of October, 1910. of $901,789.

He has been a pio.ieei huntsman in many remote corners oi the world, notably Patagonia, wiiosi- unexplored wilds he traversed at tin- beginning of his career.

LONGBOAT STILL F RST. Or.ondaji,a Runner Has Never Been Surpassed by Any Indian. Since the advent of Tom Longboat | Canada has produced many Indian I runners, but there w ��� only one Long- ! bont. . I , Big Chief was the king-pin of them | .. , 0._, . all, oui up to date, none ot t.iem has I sometimes life itse.f; for her family, shown anything that is likely to shake the Onondaga off his pedestal as the tjieatest Indian jrunneroi the age, says Lou E. Marsh, .who was one of the discoverers of the:,��� Indian. Since 1907 and 1908, v hen Longboat was in the. zenith of his running career, several hundred reJ men have pounded the rcads; in short pants and j' seys, and while some of tnem have turned out-to be runners of.the first clas.. none of them has approac.icd Longboat's records ..over tne same course. Take Levi Jamieson and Jim- mie George, the two best Indian runners of tne year, for instance. Jiaimie' George won the Hamilton Herald race in' 1909 and 1910 and the Ward Marathon in 1910, Lut in every instance his time was four or five minutes outside of Longboat's best time over the same course. Thnt means that had Longboat been in either event he would huve led George home.by ../' a half a mile tc mile. Levi Jamieson sprang into fame when he -/on the Foster Marathon ut Toronto. As a matter of fact, the most dangerous rival Tom Longboat ever had .... ..is Honors wus Acoose, the Western Indian, ii. e Salteaux Indian beat I/ongboat la., winter at Toronto, when the latter was choked up with n cold and away out of shupe. Acoose was "credited with world's record time for fifteen miles, but the records were discredited, but just the same t;ie Western aborigine issome runner.' He would have been a top notcher, loo. had anybody /with common sense tak en hold of liirii. Ihe.Tndiun had bad feet, and those behind him knew no morn about attending to his feet thnii a baby hippopotamus does about the nebular hypothesis....'in New York with his "feet ripped all to piec.- Acoose at si.tteen, miles, tore off th finest aiid longest sustained sprint I ever say in a long distance race. H s] riuted for eight laps and gain, d three-quarters of a lap on such men as Ljungstrom, the Swede, and Meadows, the Canuck. Then his bad L-ef killed him off. Acoose h = J the style, build, and courage of a world-beater, and a good handler Would have work ed his feet into shape. Jamieson is the most likely-lookin'i "f the 1910 brio-ride "of ��� rodskin run ner3. George is the "better distance ..._.!, Dut jaaiiesuu nas the style ami courage. George is a shuffler ��� nn easy-gaitcd distance man���while Jamieson will improve. .Jamieson wil be a grand 5 and 10 miler next year Joe Keeper,- a Winnipeg Indian, ran thi: j in the five-mile race at the Canadian championships at Montreal and mny improve, but he is no Longboat. Allen Hawk, the Chris'ian Island Indian, might do something with ex pert handling, but none of the ot.ier Indians around Ontario ha-ve shown much this summer. In The Halifax Herald and Mail race of ten miles Thanksgiving Day. j eight Indians started and the red men i ran one. two. and four. The oaly I one of any real class - in the bunch j was the" .'winner, a Micmac Indian ��� from Prince Edward Island, who ran the ten:miles in 57.20.

The Provincial Conservative Convention which is to be held in New Westminster, on the 25th of this month, promises to be one of tbe most memorable in the history of tbe province. Thc Pioneer recognises its importance aiul respectfully submits the following resolution for tbe consideration of that honorable body: Whereas, tbe coming session of Parliament is likely lo pass a law to enlarge the boundaries of the province of Manitoba, and, whereas, the standing of British Columbia with the Dominion Government is never likely to ��� be more influential than it is at present. ���' Be it resolved that tbe time is now opportune to* urge-on the Canadian Government, the desirability of extending the north-east boundary of this province northerly along the 120th meridian to the Arctic ocean; the northern boundary to be extended westwards along the shore of the Arctic ocean to the Alaskan boundary at 'Demarkation Point, to include all tbe islands in'Macken- zie Bay; tbe said Alaskan' boundary to be followed southward to the 60th parallel of latitude, so as to include within the confines -of the province of British Columbia all that region now known as Yukon Territory." A Sufficient excuse for,this resolution is the undoubted excellency ofthe British Columbia mining laws (both lode and placer)' and their administration, compared with tbe scandalous "methods in 'vogue in the Yukon Territory; methods, we might add, that have brought the blush.of shame' t6 the faces of thou- sands-of Canadians and "made many of us reluctant to admit that that misgoverned country -acknowledged tbe sway of the" Union Jack. -It may be further, urged that the development of the Yukon will proceed hy Ieaps"and bounds'-once it is annexed to' 'our province,' - more especially as tbe completion ofthe Panama Canal is certain to double tbe riches and importance of British Columbia in a very few years.
