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.

Manager Hodges Sends Wage Scale to the Unions. I 1 It may be said that, as we go to press, there is a more confident feeling that the management of the Granby Co. and the unions will eventually get together, and that both mines arid smelter will be in operation in a short time.. While there is nothing definite as yet, this seems to be the concensus of opinion. Last Saturday the mine Whistle blew as usual,, and has been blowing every day since, but, as expected, no men applied for work. At the smelter the statement was sent out that about 40 men applied for employment, of whom about 20 were set to work cleaning up around the works. -\ Most of the members of the unions have taken the stand that there was nothing before them from the company in the shape of a wage scale on which to act, and so no action on the posted scale was taken, other than that published last week. J. P. Graves, general manager, was quoted as saying that the company had considered it had d~ne its duty in giving the former employees a chance to go to work, and that if they did not do so, the company, would either close tight till spring or feel at liberty to bring in outsiders. Thus far the diplomatic committee of the Phoenix Board of Trade has been successf…
