@ Kevmin: By 1906, the Knob Hill and the Old Ironsides workings joined underground to become a huge single network called the Granby mine, which spread into the Victoria claim that year. http://www.crowsnest-highway.ca/cgi-bin/citypage.pl?city=GREENWOOD#9 Over the years, Granby Consolidated (or the earlier syndicate) acquired numerous claims in the vicinity, including the less significant Phoenix one. If https://minfile.gov.bc.ca/Summary.aspx?minfilno=082ESE027 is the source you are referencing, it merely identifies this Monarch claim as the one which is a Phoenix mine, production figures for many individual Granby Consolidated mines at Phoenix were consolidated, the Monarch workings linked underground with other ones, and the open cut of the Granby became known as the Phoenix pit. Phoenix Mine has a clear distinct meaning, but the more modern term of Phoenix mine is more generic and broader than Granby mine. The article not only fails to address this distinction, but unnecessarily duplicates other Wikipedia content. As you seem prone to removing warning templates, any further action on my part would be pointless. In Wikipedia, we encourage meaningful discussion among contributors, realizing that we are all on a learning curve. DMBanks1 ( talk) 22:24, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
