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.

There was no boom, but progress was made along substantial lines. And with many new and promising properties being developed, the resumption of activity in old ones, railways extending to reach new producers, and many prospects about to enter the shipping list, the outlook for still greater achievements iii' mining in this progressive section was never brighter at the be ginning of a year than it is at present. The Boundary is the premier mining district of the province, more"than half the ore produced by mines in Brit ish Columbia being shipped from this district. By reference to the ore table in this issue it will be seen that the growth of the industry has been steady, and from the year 1900 to date, eight million tons of ore have been mined and smelted in the Boundary, representing approximately 170,000,000 pounds of copper.
