description: 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.

If this happens to be a clear day, sometime before night the average Phoenician cati look down the valley and see the Great NoriHern locomotives pushing the new rails up the grade to Phoenix���their mecca lor this winter, at least. Which means, that Porter Bros., who have the con- Tact for track laying and bridge building, on the line, will keep their promise to have the rails laid into this camp by Christmas. ! After crossing Headman's biidge, ten days ago, the chief thing that has impeded piogress was lhe fall of a foot or moie snow. This necessitated the putting on of a gang of shovellers ahead of the iron squad, which, of course, was' done, Last Sunday ihe track had not quite reached the Providence creek bridge, where a large crew of expert bridge men were at work putting that stiucture together as fast as possible. Frjm that point, there was nothing except snow and cold weathe to delay getting into Phoenix. When the tracklayers have crossed the bridge over Dominion avenue, in the lower end of the city, on which active work is now proceeding, they will probably lay the rails up the switchback to the No. 3 tunnel ore bins; of the Granby -mines ��� from which point the Great Northern will first begin to haul ore. Later the rails will be laid to the No, 4 tunnel, in the deep cavern back of the Pioneer office. Last Tuesday Burns & Jordan fired the last shot in the grade back of the Pioneer office, and finished up their work.
