[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.

Officials on Visit Property. to the VOTED $25 FOR ENTERTAINMENT Each week sees an increase in the output of the Snowshoe mine, which is being operated by the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co., of Canada, Ltd. As yet no plan has been evolved to avoid the expense of loading and unloading in connection with shipping the ore in box cars to the Trail smelter, but later it is hoped to work out a scheme that will answer the purpose. This week the eleetric hoist was started at the Snowshoe, it being as yet the largest hoist of its kind in the Boundary country. Ore is being taken out and shipped from several openings and the force of men grows each week. Foreman Lynch resigned this week, and R. A. Fraser has been made the Snowshoe foreman. 1 Authorise Mayor to Receive Vice-Regal Party. Mayor Rumberger and Aldermen Carson, Kane and.

It was Mr. Stewart's first visit to the property. To a Pioneer representative Mr. Aldridge stated yesterday*, before taking the train br-.ck to Trail, that he was well satisfied with the development and shipments thus far, and that he expected in a short time to see from 300 to 400 tons of ore being shipped daily from the Snowshoe.

Among the communications received was one from the postoffice department at Ottawa, acknowledging receipt of the objections of the council to the new location of the postoffice. Another on the same ; subjec', was from J. R. Greenfield, postoffice inspector at Vancouver, who stated that he feared matters had gone too far to give effect to the resolution, as a site had been purchased, plans drawn and con tract let for the new. government building. In addition to that, he thought that, if, as-the resolution stated, the operation of a concern endangered the lives of citizens passing along public thoroughfares, the council would have to prevent its operation in any event. .

He had been working at the smelter only a few days. Miners Contributed $495. The remains of Ronold Mclnnis, who was electrocuted last week Thursday at the Gianby mines, were shipped by express to his family at Anti- gonish, Nova Scotia, leaving here by last Monday morning's Great Northern train. Though Mclnnis was not a member oi the miners' union, a subscription paper was passed around and $495 was nuickly raised to defray the expense of sending the remains to the sorrowing widow in the east, and to provide a balance for the widow and children. William Yolen Williams, of Spokane, formerly superintendent at the Granby mines, came in Thursday, and spent a couple of days here, lie had just made a 300-mile stage trip from the C. P.

Cook: assistant recording secretary, David Speare: treasurer, Hugh Reid.: conductor, Neil McBeth; Warden, Walter Cook. The installation will occur at the first meeting in October. W. L. Austin, M. E., of New York completed a several days' examination of the mines of the Granby Consolidated m this camp, and departed last Monday for California, being accompanied by Mrs. Austin 'on this trip, and having also made a visit to the Granby smelter in the course of his investigations. Mr. Austin is a gentleman high in the metallurgical world, whose business is largely that of making investigations for groups of capitalists in all parts of the world. This was net his first visit ro British Columbia, having made a trip to the Kootenays for a London corporation as far back as ,1885, to report on a property near the well known Blue Bell lead mine, opposite Ainsworth on Kootenay lake, up which it was necessary for him to travel in a dugout with an Indian. In the early nineties he again visited the Kootenays, going to what was then Trail Creek campt, the Le Roi mine having a shaft at that time but 70 feet in depth. In 1S96 Mr. Austin once more visited this province, inspecting among other properties in the Boundary, the well known City of Paris group, in White's camp. Then again in the spring of 1905, Mr. Austin came to Phoenix, and then, as now, made an exhaustive examination of the Granby group of mines. This was at the same time that M. M. Johnson, of. Salt Lake, made his first examination of the Dominion group in this camp, these two eminent men being here together, though on missions to examine different mines in this camp. "I may say that I was thoroughly satisfied,'" said Mr. Austin. ' "Of course, a mining engineer must be conservative, and one prefers to be under rather than over the mark in estimating things. The ores at Phoenix are in the shape of a replacement of volcanic ash, and hardly defined enough in some cases to really tell where ash ends and ore begins. I have noi seen any true fissure veins in this country. Naturally one has been delighted to see the way things have worked out at Phoenix." Asked regarding the Granby smelter Mr. Austin said : "I was delighted with the way things are running. Of course, it has been added to from time to time, und conditions are not exactly as they would be in the case of an entirely new- plant, but it was a pretty sight to see the whole of the eight furnaces running, and a sight you could see in few, if in any other, smelters on the continent. I may say that Mr. Hodges has achieved a remarkable success, and deserves great congratulations. With no precedent to follow, he had m hew his own line, formulate his plans, and follow them out to the end, and that a man should be able to take hold of a mine, practically in the woods, and under the existing conditions effect the results he has, is, I repeat, a remarkable achievement." To a question on the present price of copper and the likelihood of its beins; maintained Mr. Austin replied that he saw no reason why there should be any marked lowering of prices. "As long as the present industrial prosperity continues copper should certainly keep up. The demand is practically greater than ihe supp'y, and every copper mine in the country is steadily operating. However, things often change when they look the best, and it doesn't do Crosscutting has been started at the 225 foot level of the Skylark mine. Next Monday is payday at all the large Boundary mines and smelters for August. At the Snowshoe the force employed is steadily growing, it now numbering 75 men. Some of the Michigau copper producers are now getting 19 cents for copper for immediate delivery. Boyles Bros., contractors, are getting ready lo start the second diamond drill at the Granby mines once more. $to,(HN.PAID- IN DIVIDENDS Providence Mine Once More Paying Profits. Makes Total of $38,000 Thus Far Distributed. l^ast Monday Boundary shareholders in the Providence Mining Co. were The ���. Dominion Copper Co.'s dia-1 agreeably surprised to . receive checks from the Chicago management of the company, being the seventh dividend declared by the corporation, this dividend being on a basis of 50 cents per share. It has been known foir-..some time that the Providence had been doing very well, but no hint had been given that a comfortable 'dividend of this size would be forthcoming at the present time. The last_ previous dividend declared by the Providence was in October, 1904, just before the present management took hold. The present disbursement amounts to about $16,000, there being in the neighborhood of 32,000 shares issued out 40,000 shares, of a par value of $5 each. The dividend is, therefore, at the rate of temper cent, on the par value of the shades. Altogether the Providence has now paid dividends of about $38,000, the balance having been paid out in previous dividends. When the present Chicago management took hold of the Providence mine in the fall of 1904, it became at loggerheads at^nce'^-'ith the B7purf3i[rry shareholders, and a long season of Itigation and quarreling ensued. The Chicago people finally won out all through, and have been operating the mine now for nearly two years,this being the first profit-sharing that has -taken place under that management. ,In the meantime a number ot the Boundary holders sold out their interests, there being now but three or four in this section that are interested. Development on the Providence for the last couple of years has been in charge -of Patrick J. Dermody, formerly foreman at the Granby mines. As the management received advertising enough during the' litigation to last for a long time", they are riot now looking for prominence, but are steadily "working the property. It is known, however, that the Providence has been developed down to the 600-foot level, and that the mine looks better today than ever before, and has more high grade, gold and silver ore in sight. It is generally- acknowledged to be the premier high giade mine of the Boundary, and now mond drill that has been working in the Stemwjnder mine, is now being operated on the Idaho claim. Enlargements at the Granby smelter, when completed, are expected lo permit of a production of from 30,000,- 000 to 35,000,006 pounds of copper annually. H. V. Fuller has sold a half interest in the Bay mine to Spokane parties, and will now equip the property with machinery and resume work at once. The Bay is a high grade gold-silver proposition, near Greenwood. The new- giant blast furnace for the Dominion Copper Co.'s Boundary 'tally smelter, is comptetexl by the makers, the Trayler Engineering Works, of Allentown, Pa., and is being shipped at once to the smelting works. Acting Mayor Herbert Bunting, of Greenwood, was here Wednesday, completing his syndicate of 20 to take a $16,000 bond on the E Pluribus Unum claim, and pay in $25 per month each to work it. This property- has shipped over $40,000 worth of gold-silver ore in the past. The McKinley Mines, Limited, of which F. Augustus Heinze of Butte is a leading shareholder, is reported to have bonded the Jumbo and Wallace claims on McKinley mountain from D. Whiteside, Fred Clyde and James Seale of Grand Forks. The bond is for $40,000 and is to run for a period of 18 months. It.is current in the east that on or before the ist of January British Columbia-Copper Co. will declare dividends at the rate of.ten.cents or more, per share monthly. As the capital is only $2,000,000, with perhaps 25,000' $5 shares in' the treasury, this will; make the dividend amount to about $40,0^0 per month. When the full battery of three .large furnaces is in operation, the company expects to be making about $100,000 monthly. Geo. E. McAuliffe returned from the Kamloops section Saturday, having taken up 160 acres, of land on a tributary of the North Thompson river, i r/hat lhe payment of profits has been about 3S miles northeast of Kamloops. I resumed, it is expected that they will I from this* on be of a mere or less frequent occurrence. Latest Pricet In Metala.

MINING I Rossland ore shipments last week ; were 3>342 tons, making a total for the I year to date of 214,886. Foulds Bros, of Greenwood did not win the big prize at the drilling contest recently held in Butte. The Krao, one of the oldest mines in Ainsworth camp, is surprising its owners with the high grade ore encountered. An important strike has been made on the Stemwinder near Kimberly. The mine is owned by Mackenzie & Mann of Toronto. Last week was a small one in output for the mines of Kootenay and Yale, the total being 26,980 tons, with a total for this year of 1,103,468 tons The Le Roi mine at Rossland is now the deepest mine in the province, being down to the 1,750-foot level, with the intention of sinking to the 2,000-foot level. Mauager S. S. Fowler, of the Blue Bell ' mine, on Kootenay lake���the original mine of the Kootenays���is well satisfied with the way that big lead property is showing up under de velopment, after many years of idleness. C. P; R. earned over. $22,000,000 net in the last fiscal year, a record that no railway company on this continent can equal. And the earnings of this great; railway are increasing, steadily each month. What's the matter with reducing freight rates. Monday last the two pluguglies had their fight at Goldfields, Nevada, and the darkey was given the decision on a foul. Thousands paid a big price to see them take chances on killing each other. Gans and Nelson will probably fight again if they can find a place that will harbor them. Sandon now has the best weekly ever published in that burg, not excepting the boom times of '96. It is called the Slocan Mining Review, and J. J. Atherton is the power behind the pen. The paper is being given a goodly support, and shows evidence of being of great benefit to that section of the Kootenays. J Over in Nelson the fruit growers have had the Chinese question up again, in an attempt to rescind the resolution-passed a month ago, which asked for taking off the $500 headtax. It was'finally postponed for one month. There is evidently no little opposition to permuting the Chinese or coolie labor to enter the country to any fur- The laxative effect of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablet? is so agree able and so natural you can hardly realize that it is produced by a medicine.

Boyle's drug store. . - Common Sense nnd Good Ad Vice,- It is encouraging to read in the "St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal,"one of the leading medical journals of the United States, the following sound argument regarding medicines : "No sane physician will condemn a drug or medicine because an overdose results unfavorably, for if we did we might better quit the practice of medicine than to treat patients with drugs so inert that overdoses will never do harm. Any drug or medicine which is safe if taken according to directions on the package, is a safe remedy in the sense in which the word 'safe' is used in medicine " That is the only safeguard for either the doctor's prescription or the patent medicine; to be safe it must be ta.ken according to directions. * OLLA PODRIDA and T. Gor- Labor Day's celebration and picnic in Phoenix was a success from every point of view. It was held under the auspices of Phoenix Miners' Union No. S, and was carried out according to programme, the union taking in nearly $1,000 gross. At 10 a. m. the parade look place, headed by the fire department hose wagon and the Phoenix fire brigade band, which latter furnished excellent music for the day. Of the nearly 800 miners in this camp several hundred were in the line that marched through the principal streets and up to the picnic grounds. At the grounds the Labor day address was delivered by H. L. Hughes, editor of the Labor World of Spokane. Mr. Hughes spoke for over an hour to a large audience, paying particular attention to the Western Federation of Miners and the imprisoned president and secretary, Moyer and Haywood, who are charged with the murder of ex-Governor Steunen- berg of Idaho, denouncing those who were instrumental in the incarceration on little or no evidence. He also did not forget Socialism in his speech. Following is a list of the sports that were pulled off, with the winners: 100 yds. dash���H. A. Munroe and J. Morgan.

A recent bulletin of the American Institute of Mining Engineers contains an interesting description of the famous Washoe smelter in Montana, which is the biggest copper smelter on the continent or in the world. About 11,700 tons of ores, limerock, coke and coal are brought in daily by railroad cam, the switching being done on tracks of the Oregon Short Line Railroad. The ores and limerock come in 50-ton hopper-bottom cars, the coke in boxcars, and the coal in hopper-bottom or gondola cars. Deliveries of ore and limestone are made to bins or pockets, having outlet chutes for drawing off the ore. Counting re- handled materials, more than 13,000 tons are handled about the works by means of 13 compressed air locomotives, 12 weighing 13 tons each and one 21 tons. They have baen in constant service since 1900, and have needed only the natural running repairs. They are operated over tracks aggregating 48 miles in length, which are distributed over the side-hill location of the works about half a mile square. The blast furnace building formerly contained seven furnaces, each 56x180 inches at the tuyeres. These were arranged with their longer axes parallel to the length of the building, for con %>*���<�� es"����<* &��"���-<* %i?ar<a 9^0 by joining furnaces No. x and 2, and including the 21-foot space between them, which gave a furnace 51 feet long, and of the original width of 56 inches. In a similar manner furnaces Nos. 3 and 4, and Nos. 5 and 6 were united; at present there are three large siezed furnaces, each 51 feer/ long, and one furnace 180 inches, or 15 feet long. There are two tiers of jackets, each 7 feet 5 inches high. In either row, and on either side, the three central jackets are 7 feet wide each, and the; four remaining ones are 7 feet 6 inches each, making thus the total length of 51 feet. The furnace has a closed top, the fumes being carried off by three down- takes to the large dust chamber adjoin- ng the blast furnace building. There are 46 tuyeres at the back, and 42 at the front side of the furnace, or 88 in all, set at 14-inch centers. The space supplementing the lesser number of tuyeres at the front is utilized to make room for the two slag spouts. The furnace is charged through seven doors on each side of the long sides, giving access to the entire length. The charge is brought in by a train of 18 cars at a time, each car holding two and a half tons. Eight of the cars constitute a charge of from 18 to 20 tons. The coke is charged separately in two-wheeled buggies, capable of SUGAR m R! Is the purest form in which cane sugar can be made.

"I have come all this distance out of the direct line of travel between Phoenix and tlie east to see as much of the United States as possible. I am going to visit my parents after several years' absence from my old home. Phoenix is seven miles over the line between the United States and Canada, and is but seven years old. The camp is one of the best producers of low- grade copper ores in all of British North America. Tlie country was entirely unknown seven years ago, but in that time $4,000,000 have been spent in development work. "The Phoenix mines are sending 3,000 tons of copper ore to their own smelters every day, and they have enough ore blocked out in their mines to keep the smelters running at their full capacity of 3,000 tons a day for the next fifteen years. While the ore runs only $7 to $8 to tbe ton, the vast quantity in sight, and the economic system in mining it, make it a profitable investment. "There are 800 men working in the mines. Miners get $3.50 and skilled labor $4 per day. The section is all union, and there are never any labor troubles. The eight-hour day is pro vided for by the law of the land."

Mr. Nelson was always well received here, almost invariably having large audiances and having many admirers here. As yet he has not had a chance to appear before a Phoenix audience in the new opera house, his last visit here having been about a year ago. A new brand of Socialist has been found in the land, and he is setting an example which it will be interesting to see whether it is followed by others of that faith. According to published reports this man lives in the American Okanogan and has (or rather had) a likely fruit orchard. But, in order to avoid being assessed on 20 acres of fruit trees, he cut them all down ���and of course cut down his dreaded assessment. The. report does not state whether he is a student of the Appeal to Reason or not, but it will be interesting to note whether any of his class conscious comrades will proceed to do likewise. ��� < ��tl r._r-.- 1 An Iowa editor has concluded that the preachers who have taken up the cudgel against peek a-boo waists are being valiantly reinforced by the mos quitoes. in An avalanche of Cheap John Tim's tawdry catalogues struck the camp last week, and nearly drowned the post office staff, says the Kaslo Koote- naian. Say, does old Tim Eaton's concern ever contribute anything towards the education of Kaslo's children? Does he help to keep up Kas lo's city government by paying his license and taxes as the local merchant does? Does he do anything towards giving your property fire and police protection ? Have you ever heard of him extending credit to a Kasloite who had lost track of his ore shoot and was temporarily hard up as a result thereof. No sir, you never heard of him doing any of these things, and what is more, we're willing to bet one pound, three rupees, that he never will.
