[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.

However, as but half a dozen persons turned up, the show was not given the second night. One of the prime factors in this failure to draw was undoubtedly lack of sufficient advertising and lack of time to do it in. The company was billed for Grand Forks last night, and will appear in Greenwood tonight. Den'ler IJta a Good Mine. Bob Densler, one of the locaters of the Snowfihoe' mine, was in the city a couple of days this week. He is now interested in a promising property, the Monitor group, near Saltese, Montana, where he has 17 men employed. The mine is in Idaho, close to the Montana boundary line, and is a most promising proposition. The ore is gold-copper, and he already has over eight feet of it, running upwards of $66 in values.

Last week Friday, about 9 p. 111., after the Pioneer had gone lo press,an unfortunate accident occurred at the Granby mines. It was the first fatality of any kind for a number of months here. By it two men were instantly killed in the Knob Hill mine. A force of men were working on night shift about 400 feet from the portal in the No. 2 tunnel, when without warning of any kind a portion of the roof broke away, and covered Thomas Malloyand James Crabbwith tons of rock, death being instantaneous. One man w|)o was if) ft .wine car had just jumped out, and the car was filled with the falling ore, his escape being narrow, A largo forci? of men, led by ,Supt. Williams, at. once sot to work getting out the unfortunates, the remains being taken to the undertakers. James Crabb was a young man, a native of East Denhead, by Cupar Angus, Scotland, where his father, Alex Crabb, still lives. Malloy was an older man, and an Irishman by birth, though little is known of him here. Both had been in camp but a few months, Malloy having also been employed at the Snowshoe mine. While working here Crabb went by the name of James Mc- Cabb. As a result of a consultation between Provincial Constable Darraugh and Dr. George M. Foster, the district coroner, it was decided Saturday that an inquest on the remains of Malloy and Crabb was unnecessary. The shiftboss ant} fellow workmen declurcd that the place where the accident occurred had been carefully examined previous to the accident, and in their opinion it was safe. A double funeral was held Sunday afternoon, the remains of the two victims of the accident being interred in tbe Pljoenix city cenjetery. Rev. W. J. Wpod, of the Churph pf England, was officiating clergyman, and a large concourse pf miners arid, friends pf the deceased followed the remains tp the graves, The pall bearers for Malloy were J. Riordan, George Cattnnch, Alex Milkie, Hugh Hood, Alex Hood and Colin Ross. The pallbearers for Crabb were G. W. Rumberger, Geo. McNichol, W. G. Fraser, James Wright, John Pierce and J. G. Mc- Keown. George S,. Waterlow, one of the directors or the fmowshoe and LeRoi been spending the camp, is a warm Joseph Chamberlain and his newly announced fiscal policy for the British Enipire. Mr, Waterlow consented to giv: the Pioneer some of his ideas on this subject, which is jusi now engaging t ip;'attention bf the entire empire. Notwithstanding his strong Conser.ya.ive tendencies,, Mr. Waterlow is avstnng supporter of the ex-colonial secretttfy's preferential tariff scheme, which h : is not slow in advocating, and as he is one of England's commercial and industrial leaders, his opinions do not fiil to carry weight. "In my opinion,"-said Mr. Water- low, "Mr. Chamberlain is a long distance ahead of trie other statesmen in Great Britain. Having traveled nearly- over the entire world, and visited almost all of tlie cplonies of the empire, he is one of the business men, of whom unfortunately we have so few, who have grasped the position that, what was good in Cobder|'s and Bright's days for fifteen or twenty years, is not suit^ able now, with the. changed conditions caused by the advance of civilization and the progress 0/ science, that have bound and unite^ the world together, "rnakTng the possibility of forming ~a great empire from tlie hub of Great Britain through her colonies. But few in our country���whether politicians, cabinet ministers or j working men������ have any real idea of jthe progress iiv our colonies since the beginning of free trade as laid diiwn by Cobden and Bright, and they' do not realize that they are now capable of sending to the Mother Land all of the foodstuffs required. The Difficull Thing. "The most difficult thing to combat in this campaign is the crass ignorance of most of our ministers with regard to the capabilities of the colonies, as The Mother Lode mine has about no men employed. At the Granby mines the . payroll now: numbers 360 men. At the Fife lime quarries an average of 150 tons daily are being shipped to the Trail smelter, and there are 30 men on the payroll. It is expected that in the course o'f six months the 40 stamp mill of the Nickel Plate mine, at Camp Hedley, will be in operation. 1. The compressor at the Winnipeg is now being set up at the mine, the re pairs having been completed at the Granby smelter machine shop. The Mining World, of Chicago, will 'soon'issue a special British Columbia edition, in which special prominence will be given to Boundary mines. Copper has been looking up this week, which is thought to be due to the curtailment of production in Montana; on account of the close, down. New castings, to replace those blown out in the new'-air compressors at the Granby mines a couple of months ago, are expected to arrive any day now. , : : It is said that the ore shipments from the Emma mine, Summit camp, will soon be increased to 300 tons daily, which will require an increased force of men. SNOWSHOE PLEASES HIM Mr. Waterlow Makes Annual Trip. His NOTHING NEW ABOUT THE SMELTER But He Believe* that CoaiolMatloi of Smelt- lif latereitii Is True Solniloa ol Problem In Ike Boundary. ��� With the completion of the new ore pockets at. the Old Ironsides mine, now under way, the Granby Co. can load ..a train of ore without hardly moving a car. At the Oro Derioro mine, Summit camp, the compressor is now working in good shape, and three drills are being operated in breaking down the ore in the quarries. Latterly the Atlielstan and Jackpot, in Wellington camp, have not been shipping quite asmuch ore as formerly, owing to the difficulty in getting teams to haul it to the Winnipeg spur. "'"7 Good 'progresses ~'6eihg "made with the foundations for the converter building for the Mother Lode smelter at Greenwood, and the 135 foot brick smokestack is also going up at a rapid rate. On account of the heavy eastbound' traffic on the Boundary railway, including ore shipments from Republic mines, a helper engine is now in commission constantly from Cascade to Farren. well as the general ignorance of the middle classes. This, I am afraid,"will prevent for the present the accomplishment of what' Mr. Chamberlain can see is absolute necessity' for the future welfare of the country and of the empire at .large. From my own observation in the different colonies, I aril convinced that it is the natural evolution of our future power and future status in the world, and coupled with the possibility of mi amalgamation or reciprocity with our cousins, the Americans, it means the ruling of the world by the English-speaking races. "When I. first came to Canada, five or six years ago, the wheat production of Manitoba alone was 32,000,- 000 bushels; last year it was 63,000,- 000 bushels, while this year it is estimated to be about 120,000,000 bushels. In England they hardly understand the great possibilities of the no- minion for pouring in to us the foodstuffs and cither necessities, with tin: increasing facilities for transportation, not takiiig into consideration the Australian and East Indian production. "Apart from the pplhicaj situation, it is a great pity that more of our politicians and public men do not travel and see the countries with which our interests are so closely united. If they had clone so, it would be much easier for them to realize tlie possibilities of the British empire and to understand its magnificent resources." W'tia| fJrllisii Columfjla Needs. Mr. Waterlqw also made reference- to this province as it is viewed in London at the present lime, and said: "You must have an electorate that will put into [tower a government with a sufficiently strong working majority to give it credit and a financial status in the European money market. To my mind the only way in which that can done is to have an election that will return a sufficient' majority on the Owing to repairs necessary to the ore crusher at the Mother Lode mine, shipments of ore have, up to this week, been somewhat reduced for a time past. Some of the repairs were made at the Gran by machine shop in Phoenix. Work has been practically suspended for some little time at the Seattle mine, on the, North Fork of Kettle river, which is under bond to the Trail smelter people, but it is, expected that Supt. Hutchens will resume operations there.shortly. Next Monday the fifth and sixth furnaces at the Granby smelter are expected to be blown in, and two others allowed to go cold for repairs. In a few days thereafter all six are expected to be in blast at once for the first time in the history of the Boundary. It is reported that interests identified with the Granby mines have taken over the Senator and an adjoining claim, in Summit camp, for $35,000, on a working bond. The ore has a high percentage of iron, and is easily shipped, being near the C. P. R. track. Some hitch has occurred in the close ing up of the bond for the Volcanic group, on the North Fork of Kettle river, from R. A Brown to. Michigan and Chicago capitalists, fur $90,000, but it is understood that the different interests have now gotten together, and that the deal will be completed, shortly. According to the S[>okosnmn-Re view, Manager Craves, of the Granby Co., stated on his return from Montreal, where the annual meeting of the company was recently held, that the company will probably declare a quarterly dividend of one per cent, before the first of the year. This would be at the rate of four per cent, per annum, and would amount to $133,000 on the issued share capital of $13,- 3r,3.��3��- ; Atjout Mail for Yukon. Postmaster Mathesqn has been advised from Ottawa that on and after the 1st instant, no correspondence may be sent to points in the Yukon north of White Horse except "letters and post cards; newspapers from the office of publication addressed to public libraries, to newspaper offices and to individual subscribers, and transien newspapers." Mr. George S. Waterlow, vice-chairman of the Snowshoe Gold and Copper Mines, Ltd., in this camp, as well as one of the directors of the LeRoi mine at Rossland, and a firm believer in the Boundary country, has been spending the week here, and leaves today directly for the Atlantic seaboard, whence he sails for his home in England as soon as possible. A.'.J. McMillan, the managing directory is with} him here. This is Mr. Waterlow's fourth visit to Phoenix camp and the Snowshoe mine, it being his custom to make an annual trip to the Boundary to note the progress of development at the Snowshoe. He expressed himself as well pleased with the manner in which the work has been carried on during the last year under the management ol A. J. McMillan, through Supt. Astley and Foreman Trevorrow, but says there must yet be considerable expenditure on capital account at the mine in the way of development, etc. Mr. Water- low, while here, made a thorough inspection of the underground as well as the aboveground workings of the Snowshoe, in which much advancement has been made over a year ago���: the mine now standing probably sec ond to none, in the Boundary, with, the single" excepliorTof the Granby mines, in respect to the amount of development work done and the tonnage of ore exposed and ready for breaking down and shipping. Asked in regard to the proposed amalgamation with the British Columbia Copper Co., owning the Mother Lode mine and smelter, Mr. Water- low stated that there was nothing at this time that could be given out, as negotiations were in the same condition that they were three or four months ago. But he believed that it was the true policy for Boundary properties to work together in their smelting arrangements, as far as this could be done, as only by handling large j Pump House Burned. Monday evening the pump house at .Marshall lake, owned by the Phoenix ElectriclLighting Co., Ltd., was burned to the ground, thereby putting the concern but of business for a day or two. There was about $1,500 insurance on the building and machinery, but the latter has since been repaired and set to.work again. How the fire I started is not known, as the engineer, Wm. Howarth, left the house about two o'clock, the pumping being finished for the day. At that time every-, thing was all right When the fire was discovered, at 8 p. m., the entire building .was in flames, the hose being in-, side the building, so that nothing could be done by Manager Martin,, who was quickly on the scene, with helpers, but watch it burn. The new building at the large well near the lake, put up this summer, is all ready for the new electric pump, which,was shipped from Sherbrooke, Quebec, on the 9th inst., and is now due to arrive. Catholic Church Opening Nov. 15. It had been expected' that the new edifice of the Catholic church' would be ready for use on: the first Sunday in- November, which' is .'tomorrow... But owing to unforeseen delays in the work of construction Farther Bedard has decided'to hold the first service in the new building on Sunday, November 15th. The formal opening will take place at a date ��� to be announced latter. There will be no service tomorrow. The new church will be called the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Improvements to Gospel Hill. With the nearing completion of the Catholic church, Gospel Hill itself ,,is being improved to no small extent. By public subscription���as the property is just outside the -city limits- Second street up as far as Grey Eagle avenue, has been stumped and cleared, a.sidewalk.has''been, built, anA'TvilL be continued to the hospital, arid'an electric light put in about half way up the hill. J. B. Macaulay and Rev. W. J. Wood are responsible for securing the funds and getting the work done. New C P. R. Superintendent. Divisional Engineer K. F. .Busteed of the Pacific division of the C P.

Whether the present negotiations with the Mother Lode people would terminate successfully he could not now state. Since Mr. Waterlow was in Phoenix a year ago the Snowshoe has shipped something like 75,000 tons of ore to the local smelters, and is now sending out at the rate of about 300 tons daily ���which rate could be- easily doubled if the smelters, would take more of it. Boys' Debating Society. A boys' debating society has been organized in Phoenix, which holds meetings every Monday evening at the Methodist parsonage, affording amusement and instruction to a number of the growing generation. The offi cers of the organization are as follows: Honorary president, Rev. T. Green; president, S. Graham; 1st vice-president, Stewart Hudson; secretary treasurer, Eddie Greer; chaplain, Perl Greer. Ah Me, a celestial of Greenwood, was sent up for trial by Judge Hallett last Tuesday. He had filled up with hop, getting very gay with knife and gun, until gathered in by the strong arm of the law.

B. C MINING John Houston has been occupying the centre of the political-arena of late. He would not be the real John if it was otherwise. John Alexander Dowie, who has been having such a nice, warm time in New York city, will not have to inquire what the next world is like. The Spokane Spokesman-Rewiew says that the record of the Granby Co. is unparalleled in the history of mining. This fact has been known in the Boundary for some time. Royal commissions are too often royal farces. For a recent example, note that which examined into the alleged contravention of the Alien Labor Act in the Boundary. But then, it distributed a few Ottawa dollars' in this .section. ' ' - It is at last a settled fact that the Dominion Government is to have a, Department of Mines, the necessary vote, having been passed before prorogation. .The new department should be productive of much good as soon as its work becomes effective. While the lawmakers at Ottawa have given up business for the present, there are rumors that another session will be held shortly. It is stated that everything is now in readiness for a general election, and that the Grits have tons of literature stacked up for use against that occasion. J. A. McDonald, K. C, of Rossland, the newly found Moses, who will attempt to lead the Liberal hosts of this province out of the political wilderness, has his work cut out for him. In stepping into the shoes of Joseph Martin, he has the sympathy of the public at large. Should the Granby Co. declare a quarterly dividend of $233,000 before the first of the year, it will be a good thing for the Boundary and for British Columbia, Dividends make sweet music to the ear of the investor. Such an event will be the more significant because it will be the first time in the history of the province's low grade mines. As a result of the quarrel among tbe copper magnates of Montana, the Amalgamated company has closed all its mines and smelters and some 15,- 000 men were thrown out of employment in and around Butte. This has every appearance of child's- play, in which the working people and business men suffer, through no fault of their own. It is asserted in some quarters that the Provincial Mining Association is gradually becoming a political organization. If this is a fact, it is cer tainly much to be regretted, as it sounds die death knelj to its practical usefulness as ai�� Ofgaai^atiow, Granting the statement to be so, it is ao wonder that the local branches languish in so many places. ,: .Some jTkuth Here���There is no question but that Canada's side of the argument in the Alaska Boundary dispute was ably presented, so we have no fault to find with our commissioners, who did their best. What really lost us a good fair slice of this disputed territory was our habit of procrastination, waiting until the land became of value before asserting our claim, lost us this award.���Blairmore Times. * OLLfl PODRIDA. * Some fools and their money, are parted only by death. �� The man who would retain his friends should ���'not fail to remember that there are a great many things he should forget.

STRICTLY BUSINESS Even the merchant who never advertises is advertising���his own lack of ambition. Usually it's the case that the more good advertising you do the more you can afford to do. The possibilities are practically unlimited for merchants who advertise judiciously and continuously. One oyster doesn't make very good soup, neither does one lone- ad do rnuch'business for the merchant. If you don't get out and hustle and plant your seed you can't expect to "make hay while the sun shines." to The Vancouver News-Advertiser has j the best conducted mining column of any of the coast dailies.

The Ivanhoe concentrator in the Slocan is now running full capacity night and day. Slocan ore shipments are close to 12,000 tons, 327 tons having been sent out last week. Announcement is made that the LeRoi is drifting to open an ore body| 100 feet wide on its 1,350 foot, or lowest, level. Poplar creek ores, which have been exhibited at all the recent big fairs, are to be sent to the St. Louis exposition by request. . The Slocan Star with a small crew heads the list of Slocan shippers. It has mineral enough in sight to ship steadily for years. A concentrator for the Iron Mask mine is to be erected in Kamloops having a capacity of 200 tons a day, and costing $75,000. The last of the machinery for the Great Western and Silver Cup mill and chloridising works has passed the customs and is now enroute to Ferguson. Another deal has been made at Poplar, Philip King having bonded three claims on Gold mountain, near the Swede group, to Spokane people for $40,000. . "������"���. At present the Crofton smelter is treating about 450 tons of ore per day. A steady supply is being received. This is being increased by a regular supply from Texada, and 30 .tons a day from Prince of Wales Island.

The third cleanup took place at the I.X.L. mine at Rossland this' week, the result being slightly over 100 ounces of gold, worth $17 per ounce. This represents the returns of milling operations for 13 days ori. the dumps under lease to P. H. Craven, and is a handsome profit for the lessee. The Josie mine, Rossland, closed down temporarily Monday, pending the straightening out of matters connected with ore shipments to the Greenwood smelter. Difficulty has been experienced in having the ore delivered promptly at the smelter, owing to extra pressure of business on the railway. ���" ��� .'-'.. ':' j The Ivanhoe mine, McGuigan, now admitted to be one of Slocan's biggest mines, has entered upon a new era of activity. The mill is working, with a double shift, and for an indefinite period the property will ship almost up to the full capacity of the works. The output will be in the neighborhood of 500 tons of concentrates and clean, ore per month. Man Without Corns Needed.

Fraser, member from Grand Forks riding, has been at Victoria this week. ' ��� - Dr. C. K. McDonald has been re elected president of the Grand Forks Liberal Association. It is said that J. M. Kellie will contest the election of Tom Taylor in Revelstoke, on the usual grounds. Dr. Sinclair, the Liberal war hoise of Rossland, declares that he will stand for election at theneu Dominion election. ' ' Notwithstanding all the rumors cir culated industriously by the Liberal press, there have been no cabinet changes as yet. t Josh Billings declared that "Some men know a lot of things that aint so." This applies to many of the writers on the political situation in British Columbia. The Fernie election recount, which was to have been held this week at Nelson, has been postponed another week, on account of the non-arrival of the ballot boxes from Victoria. The lieutenant-governor has decided that he does not want John Houston, the member elect from Nelson, in the McBride cabinet, and the latter declines to name Mr. Houston for a portfolio. Complications are promised. The Conservatives of Phoenix met last week Friday, but decided to take no action towards sending a delegate to the convention of the 29th at Kam- loops. It seemed to be the impression ,that the calling of the convention was premature, as the Dominion elections are not yet definitely announced 10 BUILD NEW TELEPHONE LINO. Granby Co. Will Connect lis Mines and Smeller in This Wav. It has been decided by the Granby Co. to build its own private telephone line between ihe mines and the smelter at Giand Forks. The instiuments have been ordered, and the work ol stiinging the wire is expected to be started shortly, the poles of the C.P.R. telegraphs being used for that purpose. The line will thus be about 24 "miles in length as against some 17 miles, over the route now'taken by the Vernon and Nelson Telephone Co., who first built to Phoenix some five years ago. This 'step is being taken for the purpose of giving the officials 'of the company instant service between mine.' and smelter, at all times of the night and day, regardless of the office hours or holiday hours in the local telephone exchanges. The different {5arts of the smelter and the sevetal buildings at the mines will be iconneeted, the line being metallic circuited throughout. Professional Golfer Iff re. Mr. Chls? Sarjders, of Westwaid Ho, the famous golf professional, who has played against Taylor and other champions in England, also against Massey, the Fiench champion, a professional ol Biarritz, is at present staying at the Snowshoe mine. Mr. San ders -was original caddie to Horace Hutchinson, the renowned amateur champion of Great Britain, and was at one time professional golfer to the Royal Southampton Golf Club of England. He is now professional to Mr. Wateilow at his private i8-hole| goll links at Uplands, Fareham, Eng- and, mi 1 "'St. John's Church of England, Rev. W. J. Wood, Missionary.
