Scope and content
The file consists of a photograph album created around 1919 featuring the activities of the Granby Mining, Smelting & Power Company at Phoenix, B.C. under the management of F.M. Sylvester. The album contains photographs of Phoenix from 1899 to 1914 including the townsite as well as winter scenes. There are also photographs of the mines and works from about 1902 to 1919.
The album has been put together in a decorative way with the business card of F.M. Syslvester, General Manager mounted on the inside cover. The photographs are arranged on each page in novel ways with decorative ink tracings. Most of the photographs are identified and many are dated. The album may have been created as a presentation album for Sylvester, who retired from Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Co. in 1920.
