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 1912 there was an increase in the world's production of 267,000,000 pounds over 1911. still the average price of 'cupper in. 1912 was 16.3 cents per pound and in 1913, 15.2 cents per pound. The average price of copper for the past 30 years has been over 14 cents per pound. .For the past 15 yearn the price of cop'per has been slightly in excess of 15 cents per pound. This is a good indication of the price at which the producer in the long rim can afford to sell his product. For protracted periods it rnay be recalled that in the year i906 copper averaged 19 7 cents per pound and that in the year 1907 the price of copper averaged 20.8 cents per pound. Even setting aside the abnormal amount of copper re- cjuired for export on account of the War, which it should be pointed out is to a large extent actually destroyed, we have a condition calling ; for a high average price of copper, because all signs point_to greater activity in industrial lines generally than existed during the period when the 15-cent and 16-cent average obtained.\" Cattle Rustler Arrested The'.Bridesyilje-Myncaster neighborhood experienced a ripple of excitement at the close of last week when tlie provincial authorities unearthed some beef hides from a straw pile at the Lightley place, and placed Albe/t \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.i'ghtley under arrest for having-the hides of stolen cattle in his possession.

Potentially British Colambia is one ofthe greatest provinces in the Dominion, and . at this juncture, when a ton of lead is being hurled a mile for every man. killed, it behooves us to pause for an instant and consider the sourse of her greatness. Farming interests play no part, hence we must turn to her natural resources; mines, timber -:r--aad.nsherves.-,,The.last two require unstinted capital, and many phases confront investigators as to their importance. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* The Almighty Dollar has ever will crash together and bring about a noisesome reign of chaos and old night? _\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Retrospect of known mining camps, be their output talcum, diamonds or metal, has been attended with two factors in their ultimaU* development: (1) Loss of millions by original locators through lack of capital; (2) \"wild-catting.\" Listed stocks of reputable mining concerns are redolent with the vis- situdes of the game; nevertheless, loss to a few has been conducive of millions made, for quick ventures hurried rapidly to a point issues that otherwise would have remained in obeyance. .Particularly true of mining is the saying that \"mineral is where you find it.\" Thus it is readily seen that original locators are little more than pawns, requiring the kings of finance to help win. J What was true of Cobalt and the diamond fields of South Africa was true of future camps. Groups of claims were bought at a reasonable price and developed, The fact that owners of original worthy properties received less than he who sold a calcite vein for a round sum later mattered little. The end was attained\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcapital was interested. British Columbia offers the same opportunities that existed in the aforementioned; but locators must remember that the magnitude of operations conceived by operators are beyond their ken. What seems a short price individually for a group of claims is very often a long price when taken collectively, and would be prohibitive of development. Operation of a fewgroups by companies in a remote section i.s resultant of benefits not usually attained by prospectors. Singular though it may seem, good properties are today laying dormant because individual owners refuse to cooperate. Even though a fair price be offered by investors, the locator sits tight, and viewing a rich vein he is afraid to work less it peters out and he be unable to trace the lead, sits in senile dementia, conjuring of pleasures to be attained in a fool's paradise.

The mountains throughout its entire Iengthand breadth, are almost without exception mineraliferous, containing gold, silver, copper, iron and other valuable ores, while in a few localities there are more tha, surface indications of the presence of coal. FOREST AND MINERAL WEALTH Its forest stretches are among the richest in the province, and what is of great importance, easily accessible to river and railway. There is scarcely a square mile of it that is not either equipped with high tension wires, or which could not -be reached by the expenditure ofthe smallest outlay. Not the least attraction from the point of v.ew of the investor, is the sites for water power, which abound in this district. Just at present-an immense amount of interest is being directed to the recent free gold d.scovery in Greenwood, while in the same district is to be seen one of the best equ.pped free gold properties in the. west, a not inconsiderable asset in these day* of mdustnal depression and shrinkage of gold reserves. It is in this district where is situated-the Bhoenix and Grand Forks properties of the Granby Consolidated, together with those of the British Columbia Copper company. In the former camp, and ' surrounding ,t for miles on all sides, are acres of crown-granted mineral claims, all awaiting the advent of the investor. The title deeds to these properties, thanks to a beneficent series of mining laws, are unimpeachable, and Tf proof is wanted ofthe statement, let us point to the almost entire absence of mining litigation in the courts ofthe province. AGRICULTURE AND FRUIT-GROWING CENTRE The possibilities ofthe Boundary as an agricultural and fruit-growing centre are also worthy of investigation, and a visit to some of its spendidly equipped orchards will prove a revelation to the stranger. The highways throughout the Boundary makes this section of the, province the \"motorists paradise, millions having been spent on the construction of government*roads. > \"'\" ' \"No locality is better served with railroads than the Boundary district, present this section is '.served^ by two of the greatest systems on the continent, the C, P.
