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.

PHOENIX, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1906. MINING COSTS $1.51 PER TON While Smelting Expense Was $1.65 Per Ton. And Talk of Profit Sharing For Dominion Copper. A New.York report says : The low grade properties of Iiritish Columbia are rapidly assuming a position of importance as producers of copper. Among the most progressive of these companies is the Dominion Copper Co. Its financial management, which is in the hands of some of the strongest men in New York, and the practical management ol its operating staff, selected by Samuel Newhouse from the staffs of the Boston Consolidated and Highland Boy properties of Bingham, are fast developing a property which, it is expected, will next year enter the ranks of the dividend payers. The figures of the complete report for July, just received, show the company smelted for the month 18,599 tons of ore, producing 373,304 pounds of copper at a net profit of $32,000, the smelting cost per ton being $1.65, the mining cost $1.51, and the cost per pound of copper produced, about qyi cents. By December ist, or shortly there- afier, the management will have installed in its smelter a new furnace, through which it expects to run 800 tons of ore daily. This will considerably more than double the present smelter capacity, so that by January ist the management expects to produce at least 800,000 pounds of copper per month, at a cost per pound of not more than S cents. The company, which is now operating its smelter and mines by steam at a cost of $140 per horse power per annum, will commence, before long, the use of electric power, at a cost of $30 per horse power per annum. This saving in power alone will amount to over one cent per pound of copper produced. - .. The itinerary of '.he party in the Boundary is as follows : Arrive at Grand Forks, 19:30 Sept. 19th: arrive at Phoenix at 10:40 a. 111., Sept. 20th, leaving the same afternoon for Greenwood at 14:30; leaye Greenwood at 14:30 o'clock, arriving at Grand Forks at 21:30 o'clock, Sept. 30th, and leaving Grand Forks the-next afternoon at 14:00 o'clock for Nelson and east, COMING AND GOING Mrs. Walter S.

SPOKANE MEN SAW MINES The quality of, facture oi MAI'll^ counts for i^Svm^^^^ative-' IT I Boundary Mining Notes Party of J 25 Here on Tuesday Last. Had Eyes Opened Regarding Mining. About 125 members of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, including the ladies, visited Phoenix Tuesday, .were entertained by the citizens at lunch at the Granby hotel, and in spite of the rain which was steadily fulling, vi-ited the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 levels of the Granby mines. That they were pleased with their reception and amazed at wl at they saw.in the way of mining, was the universal expression of the visitors. The excursion is the tenth annual trip planned by the Spo- kanites, this time taking in British Columbia, including Phoenix, Grand Forks, Nelson, Ainsworth, Kaslo and Rossland. A committee consisting of J. P. Graves, A. B. W. Hodges, Mayor G. W. Rumberger, J. L. Martin and W. B. Willcox, met the excursion near Grand Forks. The party travelled in a solid Pullman train, one ofthe Great Northern's best, the cars being labeled in large streamers. The train was the heaviest Pullman train ever brought to Phoenix. When the excursion arrived in Phoenix, the travellers marched, headed by the reception committee through the rain and the town, led by their Inland Empire Band of twelve pieces, up to the Granby ho'el, where Mine Host Macy served a lunch that was highly praised by the visitors. Each visitor was presented with a piece of Granby oie labeled "Phoenix, B. C", and also a souvenir postal card of l'hoenix and a copy of the last Holiday Number of the Phoenix Pioneer. Then the party was formed into groups and with members of the committee as guides, visited the several The force at the Snowshoe liiine now exceeds eighty men. The auxiliary steam plant for the Idaho mine of the Dominion Copper Co. has been enclosed this week. The Dominion Copper Co. now has about 300 men working in this camp, or nearly 400 at its several mines and smelter. J. C. Haas, manager of the Gol- cond 1 in Deadwood camp, is asking for tenders for extending the long tunnel on that well known property. 'l'he power question at Cascade has again become interesting, on account of the low water in Kettle river, this week's rain helping a little. Foreman Geo. Cattnach, of the Carmi, West F'ork was, here Wednesday, looking for men. The property now has a ten stamp mill, and is being operated steadily. A. S. Echert, of Spokane, has taken a working bond on the Mavis claim, for $r5,000, with the first payment in six months. The property adjoins the Bay, near Greenwood. At the Mother Lode mine thousands of tons of ore have been broken down and taken out, and are now ready for shipment lo the company's smelter when the new furnaces are' blown in. A force of ten or twelve men is now- employed at the B. C. mine by the B. C. Copper Co., and ore is being taken out of the property, preparatory to beginning shipments to the Greenwood smelter.

Mr. visitor in camp early this week, for the j Graves himself escorted one party to 1 The coinpanv's Rawhide mine,which should supply a tonnage, as an engineer who has recently visited the properly reports, "running into the millions," will ship on a more extensive scale by the time the new furnace is installed. The cost of mining at the Rawhide will be very low, or, as expressed by the same engineer quoted above, not more than "^o cents a ton." These mining and smelting savings rpurpuse of distributing tbe paychecks for August. James Moran, the Kettle Valley rancher and mining man, was a visitor in the city this week, shaking hands with old friends. He lives some six miles below Midway. Rev. J. W. Miller left Monday for Wilfrid,"Opit., and will later take up. his theological studies at Toronto While in Phoenix the Last few months should bring the cost of the company's | he made many friends, copper down to the 8 cents per pound mark, f. o. b.

The company is in splendid financial condition, having all its property and plant p.aid for, and $750,000 in cash available for the purchase of other properties, improvements, or any other purpose. It is estimated that for the coming year, after its smelter enlargement, the net earnings of the company will be over $Soo,ooo, which would take care ot all fixed charges and sinking fund requirements, and leave a balance of over 12% for the stock. With its large amount of cash available for the purchase of additional properties, improvements, etc., the policy of the company will be to pay dividends as soon as operations show the same to be earned. The capitalization of the 1 )oininion Copper Co. is : Mortgage bonds, $1,000,000; stock, $5,000,000, in shares of par value $io. The stock is selling at about $4 per share. ^Jte*^^£%^^^<><><><>0^ CIVIL ENGINEERS ARE COMING Canadian Society to Be Here Next Thursday.

The list in<-iudes some ol the most prominent and best known i-ngineers in the Dominion, the party traveling in their own special train over the C. P. R., having left Montreal Sept. .Sib, and being today in Vancouver. The list of travelers includes Prof. J. P.. Porter, professeir ot mining at Me- Gill, who visited Phoenix some three years ago; Prof. C. II. McLeod, of McGill, secretary of the association; Prof. R. B. Owens, C. B. Smith and W. |.Sproule. The most distinguished guest of the parly is Octave Chanute, of New Vork, being a past president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and having heen for the past thirty years one of the best kown en pincers on the American continent. Some talented editors will be with ihe party, including G. A. Frost, owner of the l-'.ugineering News, of New Vork, the greatest publication of its class on this continent, and also owner .if the Courier-News, of Plainfield, N. J.; also F. S.

Drummond, of the Dominion Copper Co., returned Wednesday from a trip up the West Fork, and while there looked at the Carmi and other promising mines. Ed. Balfour, who has been for a long time an engineer at the Granby mines, has been offered and accepted the position of master mechanic at the B. C. Copper Co.'s M.other Lode mine. W. C. Thomas, superintendent of the Dominion Copper Co.'s Bound.try Falls smelter, is now in New Vork, on a trip of inspection of some of the new machinery for the enlargement of the smelter. He is likely to be absent about a month. David Boyle, of Toronto, who has been visiting his son, John B. Boyle, for two or three weeks, left Tuesday for Vancouver and coast points, where he will secure relics for tbe Ontario government museum, of whicli he is the superintendent. Palmer Cook went to Spokane Tuesday, where he was married the next day to Miss Nannie Elmgreen, sifter of .Mrs John Swanson. The happy couple will return next week ami occupy the residence- lonneily owned by J. A. Miller on Old IiohmiK-.s avenue. Dr. R. I!.

Another party went into the No. 2 tunnel, and a third was taken in groups on the trolley observation cars in the No. 3 tunnel. The C. P. R flat car special was ready, the two gondolas having been transformed by the Granby carpenter force into excellent and safe observation cars. Although the rain was still falling, many expressed a desire to take the observation trip, and the train was run around to the Snowshoe, Gold Drop and Rawhide mines, and then down on the Brooklyn and Stemwinder spurs. It was a wet party that embarked about 4.1 5 for Grand Forks, but one that was mightily pleased and astonished with what they had seen of the copper mines of the Boundary. David Ham, as vice-president of the chamber, was the dean of the party, while Secretary Monroe was also looking after their comfort. 'The full list of visitors was as follows: MEMIIT.RS Or THE PARTY.

Cornish was granted $100 by the Greenwood city council, towards the expenses of a Boundary ore exnibit at the Nelson and Spokane fairs. He has a fine collection and will start Monday for Nelson. This week the miners raising and sinking in the new Victoria shaft of the Granby Consolidated, broke through, and the shaft is now 200 feet deep. A start has been made on installing the machinery for the headworks of this shaft, although the heavy timbers for the gallows frame have not yet been received. The work of installing the rope drive", fn place-of that for steam, has been practically completed at the Mother Lode mine, and in a short lime all of the machinery .at that property, including hoist, compressor and crusher, will be operated with electric energy, brought from Bonnington Falls ..on Kootenay river, some 85 miles distant. 'This week has seen the best payday ever experienced in Phoenix or the Boundary country. During the 31 days of August the men in most of the mines were employed Sundays and there were no holidays. Besides this several of the mines have steadily added to ihe forces, notably the Snow- shoe. In fact, there is no reason why any man should go without work in this section. Most of the mines and smelters paid on the 10th, the Snow- shoe paying today. In this camp alone aliout $70,000 was paid out in wages this week, as follows: Granby, $42,000; Dominion, $23,000, and Snowshoe, $5,000. Altogether the payroll at the several mines and smelters in the Boundary for August, including the railway men, was approximately as follows : Granby Consolidated $ 75,000 Dominion Copper Co... . . . 38,000 B C. Copper Co 35,000 Snowshoe. 5,coo Smaller mines 22,000 C.P.R. and G.N.'railway men 40,000 Total.... $215,000 This is about $15,000 more than for the month of July, and there is every prospect of there being an increase next month and for the balance of the calendar year. August Tonnage Increne. The month of August showed an appreciable increase in the Bouudary ore output over the preceding month, being nearly 10,000 tons heavier, although repairs and enlargements are still going on at all three ot the dis- trict reduction works, and the B. C. Copper Co. has not yet blown in the first of its new mammoth furnaces. Following was the tonnage output of the several Boundary shipping mines for the month of August, as reported to the Phoenix Pioneer -.

Thus far this year upwards of $2,- 000,600 have been paid out by Kootenay and Yale mines in dividends, with more to come, probably, before the year has run its full course. This is not a large amount, as mining investments go, but when we recall that only two 01 three years ago not a single mining corporation in this province was paying profits to its owners, it is a fact worthy of note. To the nonresident who has been waiting for a term of years for some returns from j his mining investments, this is welcome partment can take lessons from Wash- news, and it is no less acceptable to''ington, where no cost is too great to the province at large, as.it means that'g've t,59 people the best possible mail I poli 1 solid, substantial Commercial publication had the following about the mail service in the west : I At the convention of the Associated i Boards of Trade in Edmonton, last [June, one of the topics that came under discussion was the poor mail service some parts of (he west receive. For a long time many places have been complaining, but their cries appear to be of no avail. One of the districts that suffer most is that in the neigh- hood of Edmonton. The smaller towns in that part of Albsrta claim that it is slmost impossible to get mail from Edmonton within any reasonable time, owing, it is said, to the fact that such mail is not thrown off at stations, but carried past and transferred to some distributing office, from where it is re- forwarded. While in the Alberta capital a short time ago, I sent a letter by registered mail to Winnipeg the day before I left there myself, expecting, of course, it would arnve ahead of me, but it was delivered to me in Winnipeg just twenty-four hours after I had landed here. It appears to us that it would be much more to the credit of the government to spend some money in these western towns in the improvement of the service, than to be boasting periodically of a surplus fund. The people of Alberta and the other western provinces appreciate very little a vaunted surplus at Ottawa, when they are suffering the inconveniences described in the foregoing. Presumably there will always be more or less politics in the conduct of the postoffice department, which ' may handicap the powers that have charge, to some extent. The hardheaded business men who have looked into the matter can see no reason why the department should be conducted, as the Greenwood Ledge puts it, like 0 "pawnbroker's skinnery"���for that is about what it amounts to. Perhaps above all other departments of the government, postoffice affairs should be conducted for the greatest convenience of the people���no matter what the cost���as they come closest to the people.

This well known property is under bond to the McKinley Mines, Ltd., -.a corporation in which F. Aug. 1 ieinze, the Butte mining magnate, owns the controlling interest. The Dominion Copper Co. will soon increase the force employed at the Gloucester group, which it bonded several months ago. As tlie accomodation at the mine is limited, new cabins will !:e erected before winter sets in. The company recently made the first payment ol $3,000 on account of the bond. Rich galena ore was recently uncovered on the Banner claim, on Banner mountain, at a point about 409 feet north of the shaft. Supt. McPhee is greatly encouraged over the outlook of this property, which is under bond to the McKinley Mines, Ltd. Considerable development work will be done this fall on the M. S. claim, located on the northern slope of Banner mountain,and owned by A. Ersk- ine Smith & Co. of Grand Forks. The property has 'a phenomenal surface showing. Copper ore from a small shaft is said to have yielded assay values of $40 per ton. It is proposed to employ a force of ten men. The M. S. is believed to have the same lead as the Maple Leaf, from which it is less than one thousand feet distant.

They have passed through their trying ��� periods, most of them, and from now on it will be a step forward. Among those concerns that have been distributing dividends wo find the Le Koi, Le Roi No. 2, Center Star and War Eagle, St. Eugene, Reco, Providence, Crow's Nest Pa=s Coal, Tyee and others���not to mention the company which is beginning to lead them all, the Granby. The list does not include the privately owned mines j or the corporations in the business which have been profitable producers. There can be no doubt that money, talks in the mining business as in any other. Given a fair return for expenditure, and plenty of capital will be forthcoming for investment;, otherwise, capital is naturally shy and conservative. Apparently, we are but starting on o-ir real period of m.-ning activity in this province. Capital, attracted by the returns being had, is seeking investment in many directions, and n finding .utlets to its liking. Some years have been slow in making progress in the past, Out henceforward the tale will be one of constant advancement and progress���is well as one of reasonable profit. Money paid in dividends talks louder and can be heard further than in aim.,** any other' manner. service. Chtnberlaio'e Coufb Remedy Acta on Nature's Pltn. The most successful medicines are those that aid nature. Chamberlain's Cough remedy acts on this plan. Take it when you have a cold and it will allay the cough, relieve the lungs, aid expectoration, open the secretions and aid nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. Thousands have testified to its superior excellence. It counteracts any tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia. Price 25 cents. Large size, 50 cents. For sale by all druggists. Nat Reiss, the Carnival King, who has the midway at the Spokane Inter state fair, is spending most of his time in Spokane preparing for this show, which he proposes to make the biggest carnival given this year anywhere in the West. He is preparing some handsome new fronts which will be the best he" has ever had, and he has scoured the country in all directions to get the best attractions possible. There will be fun and astonishing features from one end of the midway to the other. A 30 foot Cot shows solid galena from end to end. The same character of ore was recently uncovered at a point 300'feet farther down the hiil. This group comprises the Union and Paper Dollar claims, and the Maple Leaf fraction. It is owned by Mike McDonell, Pat McGinnis, Louis John son and J. C. Henderson, s.11 of Eholt. The Maple Leaf continues to show decided 'improvement each succeeding week and continues to attract many visitors, all of whom are enthusiastic over the remarkable showings. Five open cuts, varying in length from thirty to ninety feet, are in solid high grade ore. In one working, for a distance of twenty-five feet, by actual measurement, the chalcopyrite assays 22 per cent copper, besides the gold and silver values. The same high-grade ore has also been uncovered in a deep open cut along the trend of the ore zone, 500 feet distant in a northwesterly direction. "A mountain of ore," is the verdict of every visitor. The mine can be worked by tunnels and glory holes. The Maple Leaf is now in a. position to ship 300 tons of ore daily. It will be a great mine long before the railway reaches here next sunnier. Sup'.. AI Stewart recently added five m.ners to the working force. The group is under bond to Geo. McLeod find H. W. Warrington, of Grand Forks. It will be examined shortly by several mining experts from the east. David Boyle, of the Toronto Museum Spends a Couple of Weeks With His Son. David Boyle, of Toronto, the eminent Canadian archaeologist, geologist and ethnologist, has been visiting his son, John B. Boyle, for the last two weeks, it being his first visit to Phoenix or the Boundary country. Although Mr. Boyle has kept himself in touch with the progress of this district for years through the medium of the Pioneer, of which he is a constant reader, he could not help being agreeably surprised at the evidences of progress and permanence which he noted on his arrival here. Mr. Boyle is one of the leading archeaological authorities in the world, and has rendered valuable service to Canada through his researches and the papers read by him before many of the most distinguished scientific societies in the world. He is in charge of the Ontario Archaeological museum in Toronto. Writing as "Andrew Mc- Spurtle" Mr. Boyle was for many years one of the most popular Here's a new trick, evolved by the editor of the Slocan Mining Review, unless he scissored it Try it anyhow : Take two silver dollars, hold them about a foot above a table, and let them fall sharply. You will hear two rings. You may keep the jewelry, but send along the money to us. A Nelson school teacher who had boxed a child's ears for some dereliction, leceived the following note from its indignant mother : '"Madame : Nature has provided a place to punish children instead of the ears, and in future I would thank you to use the same, and oblige." In the program to be given by the Philharmonic Concert Co., of Chicago, we are going to have a touch of Grand Opera, when Miss Fanny Ferguson will sing "Elsas Dream" from Wagner's Lohengrin, perhaps the most wonderful Aria ever written. This number i.s especially fitted for this beautifnl singer, since she does not only sing the part, but looks it as well. It was this song that won for Miss Ferguson the Diamond Medal of the Chicago Musical College. 6 r*9��r�� oeo *���>.���<-�� �����>���<* �����>������'<���& o-��^�� �����>�����> I OUR COPPER CORNER j I 9 �� MATTERS OK INTEREST TO THOSE INTERESTED ft COl'I'ER MIKING INDUSTRY IN THE That Poor Mail Service Sam. In the past the Pioneer ha? not hesitated to call attention to the poor mail service in the w.;st and in this section particularly. In Winnipeg there is a weekly called the Commercial, a publication of high standing, and which ���-<�� o-.��-o<^ o-a Transit, Southern Pacific, Colorado Fuel & Iron and numerous other railroad and industrial stocks, which are ��� selling in the New York market be- i tween $40 and $80 per share and pay- ; ing no dividends, with copper stocks like Quincy, Copper Range, Utah Consolidated, Anaconda, Green, Mohawk and other coppers selling in the Boston market between $25 and $75 contributors to the Scottish American. He is the author of several authoritative works on Canadian archaeology. "My trip is principally for health and pleasure," said Mr. Boyle. "I may say, incidentally, that I am ready to beg, borrow or buy anything that will be of particular value or interest to our museum in Toronto, from an Indian legend or relic to an historaical fact." "The story of the oboriginal races on this continent is a fascinating one. The idea that the Indians are the descendants of a migration, accidental or otherwise, of people of Tartar or Mongolian race, is I think, only partly true. The Indians of this continent, as may be understood' by the difference of racial characteristics, language, features and habits, are descended probably frcm many and divers races. In California, for instance, there are within a comparatively small area, Indians of different languages, different habits and appearance. The Indians of America, North and South, are not from one common race. They are the descendants of, it may be, regular migrations and castaway parties, not only from Asia but from Europe and Africa. Several Indian races have distinct negro characteristics." "Do you find much difficulty in obtaining reliable data from the Indians themselves ? " ."We do," said Mr. Boyle. "And strange to say, it is from the primitive aboriginal idea of courtesy on the part of the red man. The Indian, as a rule, without any intention to deceive, answers questions as they may be leading ones, or as the questioned thinks the answer is desired. It is the savage idea of politeness. It simply is a desire to please, not deceive. It is a peculiarity of all aboriginal races and is merely the same tendency which alTects the, badinage, compliment and flattery of the modern drawing room. The unthinking in the old days believed all Indians liars from this quality, which is distinctly evident in the politeness of some of the primitive races that make up the British race." While here Mr. Boyle arranged to secure a collection of ores from a number of Boundary mines, he, as superintendent of the government museum at Toronto, taking keen interest not only in relics of all kinds, but in minerals. This permanent collection will be of no little interest in Toronto, where it will be a source of information to thousands who at present know very little of the resources of this province. e * Phoenix Livery Stable j D.
