"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."@en . ""@en .

In the cour.se of his remarks Mr. Miller eulogized the railway policy of the McBride administration and frankly . attributed his re-election to that important governmental issue, meanwhile thanking the electors for the confi- dence reposed iu him by the people ofthe Grand Forks district. He assured them that the several mat- ters to which his attention had been called would be laid before the government. The proceedings terminated with a banquet-and concert. Number 42 | Mining Notes of British Columbia of Mr. Miller in the local house The latter gentleman \" aroused considerable.enthusiasm' by his reference to the Doukhobor resolution, and his statement that the government intended to allow'no exemptions in the.matter'of any infraction of'the law. He had received that Granby Notes \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \", The following appears in a recent statement of President Nichols to the stockholders of the Granby Consolidated: \"The operations at the Phoenix properties and Grand Forks smelter for the month of March showed a profit of $87,770 and for the wine months of the fiscal year $990,225. The yield of metals has been fully maintained, and the cost of copper for March slightly reduced but current profits for a portion of this period were interfered with by the\" decline-in the price of the metal. All figures are now based on 14 1-2 cent copper and on March 31 we had on hand 1935 tons taken in ai that figure.

Several parties returned to Atlin early in the month from the new diggings in the Teslin Lake country and all of them are more than ever confident that the discovery is genuine and state most emphatically that there is no doubt whatever that it will prove up to all exceptions and justify the publication of the reports appearing from time to time in the outside press.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDWeek. Ross S. Craddock, consulting mining engineer of New York city, has made examination ofthe United Empire coal and ore/ properties on One-mile creek and returned to Spokane on Monday. He is much impressed with the mineral conditions of contact and depo'sit and expects the properties to develop into mines. Mr. Craddock has been in many parts of the world as mining expert. His wide experience leads him to believe that there is a bright mining future for the whole district. This is his first visit to Princeton and is much impressed with\" its beauty of location and surrounding scenery.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSimilkameen Star. A coast paper states that^ Lightning creek, Cariboo district, which yielded millions of gold in the sixties, is soon likely to be the scene of extensive mining operations. W. M. Ogden, of Stanley, B.

Mr. Odgen has arrived in town for the purpose of conferring witli Mr. _ Urquhart in regard to carrying on hydraulic operations this season. The outlook for the pro- Visit of School Inspector G. L. Bruce, inspector of schools for the, Provincial government, recently completed a'very thorough examination, of the pupils attending the local 'schools. The inspector expressed his~ satisfaction with the genera! attainments of the children, but took exception to the reading, which he thought was somewhat deficient. - This latter failing, however, he regarded as somewhat pardonable, for which neither staff or children** were responsible, Mr. Bruce attributing the cause to the crowding of the pupils into only three classes. As a remedy he recommends the addition of another teacher to 'the present staff, which action he stated would do away with the premature advancing of the children, with its consequent hardship on both pupils and teachers. The absence of a fire escape was quickly noted by the visiting official, and the imperative need for one pointed out, as was also the absence of a sanitary drinking fountain for the prevention of the spread of infectious disease. In regard to the proposed playground, Mr. Bruce made the suggestion that instead of making one, there should be two,\"one of which would be on a lower level. This suggestion is certainly worth considering, as apart from the advantage derived from keeping the boys apart, it also posseses the merit of being much less expensive to construct as it entirely obviates the necessity ^ate of filling in a tfirge - portion of|Granby ground to provide a level site.\" The\ Mother Lode B.C.

Narrow Escape of Motorists Few motoring parties can boast of so narrow an escape as that experienced hy the occupants of Morrin, Thompson and Co.'s motor car on Sunday last. The party were returning to Grand Forks after a.trip to Danville, Washington, and in attempting the passage of a portion of a newly-graded road, the driver, R. J. Gardner, allowed the machine to come nearer the edge of the road than comfort demanded, and in the attempt to remedy matters gave the wheel a sharp turn, with the result that the car shot to the opposite side of the road and over the embankment, turning completely over, but fortunately pitching its four occupants clear of serious danger. J. E. Thompson was the first to recover and went to the assistance of Mr. Gardner, who wsa found tightly grasping the steering wheel which had become detached. F. French of Hedley was also stunnejj, but the injuries to the other occupant, F. Anderson of Grand Forks, necessitated the attendance of a doctor, who found that four of his ribs had been broken. The damage to the car is not regarded as.serious. Clothes that Pay!

He held this country up to ridicule on the continent of Europe. He has made a political football of a great national question and duty, BAnd in so doing he has been playing with the fire which is now destroying him as a political force in Canada. The European nations saw in the proposals ofthe Borden government to increase the effective naval forces of the Empire, the shattering or their dream to oust Britannia for her long and historic role of \"ruling the waves.\" With the young cubs flocking to the side of the old lion, they faced the situation of not merely threatening the supremacy of England on the seas but the supremacy of a united Empire. And since Laurier has brought politics into the thing, the chancelleries of Europe breathe freely again. They see that the Canadian cub has grave doubts of fighting along side -its mother. The Laurier who believes in the ultimate independence of Canada has succeeded in his nefarous design. He has made of Canada a laughing stock.. He has> openly allowed his followers \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD to preach secession upon- the very floors of Parliament. He has cheered re Is the Prospector Disappearing A correspondent of one of our esteemed contemporaries complains tha,t for various reasons the prospectors in his section of the West, east of the Rocky Mountains, is becoming an almost extinct species. The fact that his state has been so throughly gone over and that but little interest is taken in \"gold quartz\" mining are the principal reasons given for this phenomenon. On this coast the contrary is rather the case; the opportunities of Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, (particuarlarly in the Olympic mountains), and Oregon are appreciated as never before, and railway's and other ways of communication are being rapidly developed with the idea of opening up to exploitation the resources of the country, mineral as well as others, and in some cases exclusively. The prospector is fully alive to this and it is a dull week that the mail or the cable does not bring us the news of a find of some sort in this region that is'well authenticated and of permanent value. Whatever may be the case further east, on the Pacific slope the prospector is decidedly in evidence and has a board- ening field opening before him.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Pacific Mining Journal. - \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD >JJ if Wonderful Nervous Sy\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtorn EARLY INDISCRETIONS^ AND EXCESSES HAVE UNDERPIN ED.
