[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.

Never mind if the mines are closed for the time being. It will not last for ever, and one of these days Phoenix and the Boundary will be better than ever. Put on the "Smile That Won't Come Off," and bring your orders for Choice Family Groceries, Fruits, and everything in the Hardware To the firm that for more than eight years has been doing business at the old stand in Phoenix. s�� s�� n s�� w ����� w w t s�� s��, w Wi I Since the last issue of the Pioneer, there have been no developments of moment in regard to the recent closing of the large copper producing mines and smelters of the Boundary for what is stated to be an indefinite period. The Granby smelter and the B. C. Copper Co.'s smelting furnaces were operated a few days till the valuable flue dust and bottoms around the works was all cleaned up and turned into blister copper, and about the j middle of tin's week both these plants were blown out entirely. What the next move will be cannot be ascertained from any source, but the copper market seems to have a good deal to do with the matter, and it has not stiffened up yet to any appreciable extent. In Nelson the newspapers seem to think that it is a question of wages and publish stories to that effect, but thus far nothing has been said to the men on this or any other score, and nothing piactically is being done at the large mines except to keep them Iree from water. The impression seems to prevail in many quarters that, after the first of the year, if conditions warrant, there will be a move made toward reopening. In the minds of many there is a well settled conviction that the properties will not be allowed to remain idle for any lengthy period, especially if copper should get to and remain around 15 cents per pound, which seems to be looked for confidently in the near future. In Rossland the mines are still being operated as usual, but there are many reports there regarding those mines closing also on account of the low price of metals generally. Regarding this the Rossland Miner of last Wednesday printed the following: Still Busy at Rossland. "Persistent rumors have been in circulation during the past wesk to the effect that the mines of the camp would close down within a short period, owing to the low prevailing prices of the metals. Some of these rumors were circumstantial as to details, and were to the effect that the mines could not be operated at a profit, owing to the low price of metals, and that but two courses were open���to cease operations or to get the Miners' union to consent to a decrease in the existing scale of wages. These rumors were so persistent that it was determined to interview the manager of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting company, who was called up by telephone and asked if it were true that the intention was to cease operations on the several mines and smelter of the company. The manager positively refused to deny or affirm the truth of the rumors. When further pressed for an expression of opinion in regard to the matter he replied that he had nothing whatever to say." Wbal Men Are Doing. Some of the men employed at the mines and smelters of the Boundary until lately have found work at other things. In Grand Forks not a few of them have gone to work in the logging camps, while, all over the Boundary, numbers of them are getting out ties, the price for which is the highest in yeais, owing to the demands made by the new railway lines and the old. Many have gone hunting and fishing, while still others, especially the married men, are getting ready for winter and are wailing to see if anything turns up by the new year���as many anticipate. Some have gone over into the Similkameen, to Hedley and to Fairview, while numbers of single men have gone to the farthest parts of the earth. Three men are now employed at the Cariboo-McKinney mine. Not more than., 20 men are now employed at the "Granby mines, including boilermen,f watchmen, office men, etc. /, After cleaning up around the works, the B. C. Copper Go's two furnaces were blown out las|t Wednesday, the last furnace ofthe Granby's batte,ry of eight being blown (jut on Thursday. Last week the Sudbury mine, Deadwood camp, which has been working for some months, discontinued for the winter, and Manager fames Schiewe went to his home in Spokane. Hearing that a few miners were to be put at work at the Crescent mine, this week a Phoenix miner went there to seek work, and, as he says, "There are five hundred others looking for a job there." Preparations have been made for continuing work all winter on the Croesus, near Anaconda. In one open cut ore is shown for a distance of 100 feet, and good ore is also found in the shaft. CRESCENT IS NOW READY Starts Operations Next Week. COMING AND GOING hill the Best Equipped High-Grade Mine in Boundary. Probably nearly 100 men have been let out by the C. P. R. and Great Northern on account of the temporary stoppage of mining and smelting operations in the Boundary, in the last ten days. Work is still in progress at the B. C. Copper Co's. Lone Star and Washington mine, across the boundary line in the state of Washington, being of a development character, largely. The ore runs high in copper. Last week the Pioneer was advised on what it consideed reliable authority that the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. had paid its regular quarterly November dividend of 2^ per cent. It turns out, however, that the dividend was cut in half, making it 1 *�� percent, the directors deeming this j the conservative course. B. C. BRANCH TO BE FORMED Of the Canadian Min= ing Institute Although Col. T. L. Dickuson, of the Crescent Mines., Ltd., owning the property of that name, two or three miles below Phoenix, did not arrive in Boundary Inst week from Chicago, as expected,' the work of development, and later of ore shipping, at this property will be started in earnest next week. After almost interminable delays, the electric drive compressor ��� Lit the Crescent, which was furnished by the Allis-ChalmersBullock, Ltd., arrived at the mine a month or two ago, being 9 months overdue, and was installed, after more delays for missing parts. The Ingersol machine drills did not arrive at the property till Wednesday of this week, but at last everything is about in readiness for operations, and by next week Supt. Feeney will have a| dozen or fifteen men at work there. The first work will be drifting at the bottom of the main shaft, after which shipping will be on the programme. High grade siiver ore is found in almost every direction in the bottom of the shaft. Today the Crescent stands as the best equipped high-grade mine in the Boundary, everythtng'being electrically operated, and now that the long delays incident to machinery installation are practically over, those best acquainted with the property are confident that the Crescent will give a good account of itself and lully warrant the large equipment expenditure that has recently been made. Col. Dickason, the president, is the largest owner in the property, having purchased the mine from H. H. Shallenberger some two or three years ago. Ed. H. Mortimer was up the from Greenwood last Tuesday. George L. Elkins went over to Cotter d'Alene country yesterday. Joseph Ingram, of the local G. N. depot staff, has been moved to Addy, Wash. Mrs. C. A. Arnott, wite of the C. P. R. agent, has returned from a visit to Nelson. James Moran, the Kettle valley rancher, was breathing the pure mountain ozone here yesterday. John H. Fox, of Nelson, C. P. R. travelling freight agent, made his monthly visit here yesterday. CONSERVATIVES IN CONVENTION At City of Vancouver Today, Boundary Sends Full List Delegates. of STILL WANT PART OF 2 PER CENT TAX City President Keffer Writes to the Western Members. Frederic Keffer,M. E.,ofGreenwood, engineer in charge of the mine'i ol the British Columbia Copper Company, Limited, and president of the Canadian Mining Institute, has -written the various western members of the latter association of the branch be formed. He points out the fact that the meetings of the institute are usually held in the East, and that ihe formation of such a body would result to the benefit of all the members. He therefore requests that all western members attend a meeting to be held in the city of Nelson oft Jan uary 15, when steps will be taken to organize such a branch. A number of papers prepared for the regujar meeting ofthe institute will then be read. He offers a list of names submitted by the council for the positions of officers for the western branch. He further suggests that all who intend reading papers at the forthcoming meeting notify the secretary of the instiute, H. Mortimer Lamb, 413 Dorchester street, west, Montreal. The following are names suggested as officials of the western branch: President���A. H. W. Hodges, Grand Forks. Secretary���E. Jacobs, Victoria. Council���Panl S. 'ouldrey and P. Stuart, Rossland,; J.J. Campbell and Leslie Hill, Nelson,; K. C Musgrave, Vancouver,; VV". M. Browne, Victotia,; O. E. S. Whiteside, Hlairmoro, Alta.; J. C. Haas, Spokane, Wash. Will Send Memorial to Government. At Wednesday's semi-monthly meeting of the city council there were present Mayor Matheson and A. D. McKenzie, W. J. Porter, Robert Carson and Thomas Roderick, aldermen. A letter was read from David ' Whiteside, solicitor, advising against the city's liability of small pox epidemic claims, and another from H. A. MacLean, deputy attorney-general, declining to give advice on the same matter. Mr Whiteside's letter was printed in last week's Pioneer. The Bank of Montreal wrote regarding payment on loan, and the city clerk was instructed to reply that the council expected to make a substantial payment by the first of the year. The mayor and Aid. Porter were appointed a committee to interview Dr. J. D. MacLean, with power to arrange for his services as medical health officer for the balance of the term. Clerk Stephens was directed to write the city solicitor, asking him to draw up a memorial, to be sent to the government, asking a refund of a portion of the two per cent mineral tax for ore taken from mines within the city limits. After the following accounts, most of which were for small pox epidemic expenses, had been audited by the finance committee, they were paid: Mrs. P. J. Quinlivan $5S 00 J. A. McMaster, proprietor of the Hotel Balmoral, is spending a few days in Vancouver and coast points. John Kirkup, gold commissioner, assessor and collector at Rossland, was in camp Thursday on an official visit. P. D. Ahier, lately in charge of work at the Cariboo-McKinney mine, arrived Monday with Mrs. Ahier, on their way to Nelson. Oliver Blair, manager for W. S. Macy, left Wednesday with his wife, to spend the holidays at his old home at St. Charles, Iowa. VV. G. Gaunce, the Greenwood realty and insurance man, was here Monday, trying to get out of the fog and mist���and succeeded. Homer Baird, of the Brooklyn hotel staff, went to Spokane and other points Sunday, and is not expected to return alone in a week or ten days. VV J. Woolsey, B.Sc, who has been in camp a 'couple of months, went to Vancouver last week Friday, to see if business conditions were as bad as painted. A. P Lange and A. F. Miller, of Portland, Ore., special agents of the Phoenix of Brooklyn Fire Insurance Co., were here Monday, visiting with the local agent, D. J. Matheson. G. VV. Rumberger went to Spokane Saturday and will visit the Coeur d'- Alenes and other points before return; ing. VV. R. Williams also went to Spokane a day or two previously.. C. W. Greer went over to Kamloops Monday, to look after his ranching interests in that locality, where his family a-e located. Crops have been excellent there this season. A. D. Morrison, the jeweler, was up from Grand Forks for a day or two this week, and says business in both Grand Forks and Phoenix has been very satisfactory this month at his stores. VV. F. Bucklew, who was relieving F. X. Perkins as Great Northern agent here while the latter was off on his vacation, has gone to Spokane, and in a few days will relieve the agent at Curlew. R. V.

Recently the Pioneer published an item regarding the fruit that J. L. Martin raised this year at his place in Phoenix, and also referred to the fact that samples have been sent to England with the provincial exhibit, which exhibit is already attracting such favorable attention. This week Mr. Martin received a a letter from a concern in Chicago wishing to net details regarding the fruit, the land on which it was raised, and other matters in connection. Which shows that, although Phoenix is not yet famed for its production of fruit, considerable interest is taken in the fact when it is known that the elevation here is 4,600 feet, and that the fruit is of such excellent quality. It also shows the far reaching influence of a small item. John Moe, general passenger agent of the C. P. R., at Nelson, accompanied by I. 15. Suckling, of Montreal, general passenger agent of the same company's Atlantic steamships, were here Saturday, looking up European business. Page Boyles, of. Boyles Brothers, the diamond drillers, who have worked steadily at the Granby mines for over three years, went down to Spokane Saturday. His drills in the Boundary are now idle,' but have much woik ahead when operations are resumed. Local conservatives last week received the following communication from G. H. Barnard, acting secretary of the Provincial Conservative Association, relative to the big convention being held in Vancouver yesterday and today: "At a meeting of the executive committee of the Conservative Association on the coast held during the recent visit of Mr. R. L. Borden, it was decided to hold a convention of the Conservative party for the purpose of formation of a provincial association in Vancouver, and it was left to a commit! tee consisting of the Hon. Mr. McBride and the presidents of the Vancouver, New Westminster, Nan- aimo and Victoria associations to arrange details. "This committee met at the pre mier's office, when it was decided that the convention should be held on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22 and 23, 1907, at to a.m. at the Conservative Club rooms, Vancouver, upon the following lines: "Every Conservative member of the provincial legislature shall be entitled to attend. Every provincial constituency to be entitled to send ten delegates in respect of each member elected by it to the local legislature. "Such delegates to be elected by the organized Conservative clubs or associations in each constituency, or where no club or association is in existence, to be elected at a public meeting convened by the Conservative party. "The adjustment of a representation of the different portions of any riding to be settled by the party within that riding. "No delegates to be allowed to be represented try proxy. "All delegates to be duly accredited in writing under the hand of the president or chairman of the club, association or meeting appointing such delegates. "Your hearty co-operation in the work of making the convention a [success is cordially invited, and you 'are earnestly requested to take steps to ensure a full representation from your constituency." The delegates from Phoenix are George VV. Rumberger, and Jno. A. McMaster. Grand Forks and Greenwood are also represented by full delegations. Will Last But Pew Weeks. Despite the shut down of the Boundary mines and smelters in the middle of last week the ore receipts at the smelter show a respectable total, to a large extent made up of ore in transit. The total for the week is, in fact, above the average for the year. It is generally considered that the shut down, for which as yet no cause has been assigned is not likely to last and that in a few weeks there will be as busy a scene of industry around the mining districts as at any time in the past ��� Nelson Daily News.

In our first number, sent out on Saturday, November 18th, 1899, we had the following to say: "The Pioneer makes its debut to day. It is many years since our illustrious namesake wandered through the Boundary country in search of the precious; metal. Those were the days when little else than placer ��� propositions were considered worthy of attention, and that our pioneer friends enriched themselves, (as we hope to), there can be little doubt.; However, in their wildest dreams of riches, 6ur before-mentioned namesakes .never could have included in their visions such a city as Phoenix will make, or such an array of mines as have called the city into existence.: Unlike the bird of fable, our first, cycle of time has not yet been chronicled, but when it is" we will not immolate ourselves by cremation oh a funeral pile, and rise again in the renewal of youth from the ashes. "We hope to attain a good old, age in the ordinary course of events, and during its attainment to be of some service to the community "irrwhich we have cast our lot. "We have implicit confidence in the future of Phoenix; it cannot fail to be a prosperous and populous centre, surrounded as it is by mines so rich and all the natural resources necessary to speedy development. It shall be bur object to make known to the world the richness of this great country, and to encourage by every legitimate means in our power its healthy progress. The Pioneer will ever be found reliable, and such a paper will do credit to our town. We do not believe in exaggeration. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is quite good enough for a camp as rich as ours." Looking back over the years passed in Phoenix, we cannot but feel that the BILIOUS THAT IS CUBED BY Mother Seigel's Syrup,which acts directly on the liver and stomach, quickly restoring them to healthy natural action, and thus it cures biliousness and indigestion. MOTHER ICHEJLl e e Pioneer has found a mission and has been of practical use in making the Boundary known in places where such knowledge would do the most good. Whether we fulfilled our programme completely and satisfactorily, we leave to others to say. We have not made our "pile" yet, although our faith in Phoenix and the Boundary was never stronger than it i.s right today. In eight years there have been times when the sledding was anything but easy and smoth. Possibly those times will come again; nevertheless the foundations for one of the greatest copper producing districts on the American continent are right here���and further, they are here in such shape that they will last for generations to come. The Pioneer expects to keep up the work it began before Phoenix was incorporated, but we are always pleased to receive suggestions. In fact, we should like to hear from our subscribers, no matter where they live, as to what they think of the Pioneer, with any ideas for further improvement. It has been our endeavor to publish the best mining and general newspaper issued in the Boundary, and at the same time haves the news, as far as possible, authentic and reliable. This iwill continue to be. our aim in ihe future. American and Canadian Banking. The recent financial flurry in New York,, which has extended to other American cities, has brought out prominently a comparison of the Canadian and American systems of banking. And it may be said that the Canadian system has' not suffered thereby. With their more elastic circulation; with their many branches, any one of which can contribute to another in time; of need; with the double responsibility of shareholders; with the greacer conservatism generally in business transactions, and with every chartered bank in Canada practically behind every other bank with a Dominion charter, it makes an almost impregnable fortress in times of stress. Recently a Phoenix man, who happened to have an account in a Spokane bank, sent out a number of cheques in payment ol accounts for wages, etc. At the Spokane bank, which was perfectly solvent, the men could get but $10 per week on the cheques, for which ample funds were on deposit. It was the way of the Spokane banks, and those of many American cities, to prevent a dangerous run on their cash resources���and, from their standpoint, was probably wise. But to the holder of the cheque, it "was hut pleasant. As it happened, the cheques were brought to Phoenix, and here they were leadily cashed. We Guarantee to cure your cough or cold No "ifs" or "buts" ���just a straight statemenl-Shiloh's Cure will cure your cough or cold and do it quicker than anything- you ever tried, or your druggist will return the purchase price. Get a bottle to-day, and cure that cough or cold. Last week, when the. mineis and smeltermen were paid off in currency in the Boundary, and when hundreds of them hied themselves to Spokane, it is estimated that they took, not less than $100,000 in currency���-good Canadian bills���bills which must have looked good to the bankers and merchants and hotel men of Spokane, where little but clearing house certifu cates were available. In meeting paychecks or savings accounts, did the bankers of the Boundary, in any one of the four chartered banks, hesitate to han.d over the actual cash, or demand 30 days' notice? Not a bit of it���every depositor or owner of a cheque, who wished it, could and did get the currency when asked for. This is a striking commentary on the two banking systems. Uncle Sam can certainly give the Canadians pointers in regard to handling and conducting the mail service, but he has a few things yet to learn about safe and conservative banking.

Here is a chance for some one to pick up ten dollars��� just like getting money from home, if you are the lucky one. There is no limit to those who may criticise, the only requirement being that a clipping of the advertisement of the Carney Copper Co. be sent with the criticism, to the editor of the Pioneer by mail, and be received by December 24th.

THE OBSERVATORY TllINUH TAt.KKI) OK AT IIOMK AND KLRKWHKRB L J It si ems quite the thing these days, in ihe lloiindary to take out membership in the Down-andOut Club���in fact, it is becoming popular for the time being. A lew provincial papers are pointing to the recognition of Ine valuable services of G. G. S. Lindsay, manager of the Crow's Nc-t 1'j.ss Coal Co., by his being made president of the corporation. All of which brings to mind an official in a certain organization whom ii ��as desired to displace in an easy manner. Me w.ts simply made president, and thereafter was harmless. This is an old plan, but often works out must satisfactorily in practice. ���*, Now that the Pioneer is entering its ninth year, it is a splendid time for renewing subscriptions. In these piping times of peace the proceeds come mighty useful, too. just take a look ai your label, gentle reader. Hon. Kodolphe Leinieux, our post-master general, is having a good lime in Tokio, and the Japs are pulling the wool over his eyes in much the same manner that post-master general .Meyer did at Washington last winter. But, then, Mr. Leinieux will enjoy the trip, anyway. �������� When one stops to think of it, it is noteworthy the implicit confidence held in the Boundary for many now out of employment. This is shown by their staying right here, in large numbers, with not a thing to do and winter coming on. ���M The J ere McAuliffe Stock Co. fully deserved the success attending their engagement at the Phoenix opera house. They opened up just as the close down came and played six times, and nearly all to large houses,��� cioakeis to the contrary notwithstand 'ng. It svas one of the best st ck companies ever seen in Phoenix, and favorable criticisms of the acting were heard on all sides. Phoenix was the only town McAuliffeplayedin the Boundary, jumping from here to Cranbrook and McLeod. This company can have a big house any time it comes again. 41* A short time since the Nelson Daily News published a despatch (?) from Phoenix to the effect that the Granby Co. would reduce the miners' wages by 50 cents per day on November 1st. Nothing of the kind took place then or since. But that item has been largely copied in the general and technical press, going the rounds. The author of the misinformation is not known here, but it would be interesting 10 see what his name looks like in print. L'ist week the new editor ofthe Grand Forks Gazette deservedly castigated in print the correspondent from that place who sends out matter purporting to be news from Grand Forks���most of it stale, and much of it lacking in the elements of veracity or importance. And yet otherwise supposedly reputable dailies will publish that rot by the yard or mile, and seem glad to get it, By the way, it is time that correspondent's crop of bear stories and of bonanza mines within sight of Grand Forks, was being drawn on again, as it has been given a rest for a short space. ��������� If there is a business or mining man resident of Kaslo, Sandon, Slocan, Nelson or Rossland���or for thai matter in the Boundary for ihe last 10 years, who has not heard of D. R. Young, he must be a curiosity. 1.) R. operated in all these and other places. The Similkameen Valley Coal Co., Ashnola Smeller Ltd.^ Monashee Gold Mines and British Empire Gold Mines, were some ol of his flotations, but in someway no one ever hears of them nowadays. Mr. Young has gone to the coast and is operating the Queen Charlotte Island Prospecting Syndicate. He states that he has nothing to offer to to the public, too, his venture in copper being amply financed. His claim now is that Queen Charlotte will be the storm centre of the next mining boom. No one could ever accuse D. R. of being a pessimist, however his ventures turned out. A Good Liniment. When you need a good reliable liniment try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It has no superior for sprains and swellings. A piece of flannel slightly dampened with Pain Balm is superior to a plaster for lame back or pains in the side or chest. It also relieves rheumatic pains and makes sleep and rest possible. For sale by all druggists.

The mixture 'opens the clogged pores of the kidneys, thus assisting them in their work of filtering all waste and poisonous matter from the blood, and expels these in the urine. To allow this poisonous matter to remain means that it will settle in the musoular tissues or joints, and cause the untold misery known as rheumatism.

IN MONTH OF AUGUST Copper Sent From the Boundary. After having shipped to the United States for refining and selling purposes a record volume of copper in the month of August���4,185,560 pounds- says the Wall Street Journal, the mines in British Columbia in the month of September showed the result of curtailment in the production on the part of at least two of the properties, by sending to the United States only r,- 285,220 pounds of copper, the smallest tonnage of any month this year, except February, when every smelting furnace in the district was closed down. The small exports of copper, as received in the Fast from Canadian ��� urces were due considerably to the fact that the entire plant of the Dominion Copper Company is closed down, while the British Columbia and Granby Companies were operating only a portion of their smelling capacities. With this smaller tonnage of copper irrivmg in the United States it i.s evident that the eastern refineries are now treating less metal than formerly; those affected by smaller exports from the Boundary district of Canada are the Nicholas Copper Company and the Vogelstein-Uniled States Smelting & Refining Company's plants. Notwithstanding the unavoidable hindrances which have cropped out at various times during the present year, thus preventing record production of copper in Canada's western field, the amount sent to the United States from that source is only 1,500,000 pounds under the volume recorded in the corresponding nine months period of 1906. One Way 10 Secure Cake. According to the Fernie Ledger, the luel shortage at the smelters at Marys- ville, Nelson, Trail, Grand Forks, Greenwood, and Boundary Falls, was not caused by either labor troubles at the coal mines or lack of cars; it was caused entirely through placing a small- idead, one-horse lawyer from Toronto at the head of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company. An owner in one of the smelters advised his company to purchase a block of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company stock, and by doing so get a representative on the company's board of directors. The stock was bought, and he was elected a director.' At the first meeting ofthe board, he told the direct:us where the trouble was, and as a large shareholder he did not intend having his interests jeopardized by a continuation of the short-sighted policy that had governed the company for the last three years. He talked to the directors in a way that made their ears tingle, and what he said opened their eyes to the shortcomings of the lawyer from Toronto, who was and is yet the company's managing director. Since that meeting of the directors there has been no shortage of fuel at any of the smelters dependent on the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company for their supplies of coke and coal. It is just possible thai there are other industrial enterprises in Canada managed���as the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company is���Oy men not big enough for their jobs.���Prince Rupert Empire.

About the middle of the week, the first seemingly permanent fall of snow arrived here, and runners had their initial trip for the season. After almost two months of ideal Indian summer, following the wet summer, the weather changed and a few inches of the beautiful was with us.. During a grea{er part of this two months, while Phoenicians have been reveling in a balmy climate and sunny skies, going picnicing, gathering strawberries and fruits of various kinds, our good friends who live in the valleys below us have been blessed with mists and fogs most of the time. Come up into the mountains, brothers, and we will show you a climate that is worth while, one that is hard to beat, even thdtagh we do have our share of snow in its season. LINGERING COLD. Withstood Ober Treatment But Quickly Cured by Chamberlain's Congo Remedy. "Last winter I caught a very severe cold which lingered for weeks," says J. Urquhart, of Zephyr, Ontario. "My cold was dry and harsh. The local dealer recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and guaranted it, so I gave it a trial. One small bottle of it cured me. I believe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be the best I have ever used." This remedy is for sale by all druggists. ' H. H. Melville, vice-president of the Dominion Copper Co., and M. M. Johnson, consulting engineer, who spent nearly a week in the district examining the properties of the company, left for the outside last Monday. These properties will undoubtedly resume when the balance of the large copper producers of the Boundary do likewise. Phil McDonald, who with his partners, Messrs. Frost, Kane, Fuller Hickey and Russell, struck an immense iron proposition in the Sturgeon lake country in Ontario this summer, returned to Greenwood this week. M. H. Kane, of Phoenix, went to Jay, N. Y., to settle his father's estate before coming back. They expect to go into that country again next spring.
