[The Phoenix Pioneer]
BC Historical Newspapers
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.

carat AND BOUNDARY MINING JOURNAL. Legislative LibWry 'u-09 P Eleventh Ykar PHOENIX, BRITISH COLUMBIAN SATURDAY. JANUARY 8, 1910 A\ mammmMwaamamma%sm -THE- J, *r 1, BIG STORE u K 1 ^'i Jf 1 1 We Wish One and All of our Many Custo= mers a Bright and Prosperous New Year 1 1 J - - SALE OF SI LVE RWA RE Our big stock of Fancy Chinaware, including many beautiful odd pieces for the table, all goes at HALF-PRICE Progress at Boundary: Mines and Smelters -. during i<9tw With the total ore production for [909 greater by 100,000 tons than any preceding year, and with the present output of its mines and smelters twenty per cent greater than they were a year ago, thc story of the Boundary district for the year just passed in;o history, is one of record advancement. 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. When it is considered that the British Columbia Copper company had a forced suspension of three months, that Granby shipments were necessarily curtailed on account of .two furnaces always being out of commission while undergoing the enlarging process, and that the Dominion Copper mines were off the shipping list for the ei^ire year, the 1,600,000 tons of ore production in the Boundary during 1909 is remarkable. Thirteen mines contributed to this output, but three quarters, of the tonnage was produced by the Granby and Snowshoe mines in Phoenix camp. THE GRANBY The total ore shipments from Granby mines during the past year were r,o67,- 983 tons, an increase of about 40,000 tons over the preceding twelve months, but, as stated before, the tonnage dur ing 1909 was restricted on account Of the work of enlargement going ,on at smelter. During its ten years of operations the Granby company has'sfead- ily expanded, and not only has it mined and treated close to 6,000,000 tons of ore in that time, but its smelter has been enlarged to a capacity of 5000 tons per diam, ranking third largest in the world, and its mines at Phoenix equipped to ship up to '6006 tons daily if necessary. \ * ' ~> Granby's mining properties' consist of the 01d;IronsideSj.;,'the,;-^ob\Hil!j' Victoria and Gold .Drbpji mines, and 37 adjoining claims, some 1106.acres. There are four shipping ".outlets-', which are equipped so: that any.; two, if necessary, could maintain an output of 4000 tons or more daily. The present shipments are running over 4000 tons of ore daily, and represents four trains of twenty 50-ton cars from the mines to the smelter every 24 hours. More than two miles of development work-was done at the mines, consisting of 7,109 feet of drifting and crosscutting, 3,866 leet of raising and 120 feet of sinking, a total of 11,185 lineal feet. This included the opening up of a new ore area on the Monarch claim, which makes its shipments through the Gold Drop outlet. The additions to plant and buildings during the year include electrically driven pumps installed on the 400- and 300- foot levels, the latter a 7x10 inch S.A. triplex plunger; an electric haulage system was put in on the 320 foot level, and on No. 2 level steam locomotives have been replaced by electric motors; an electric powder thawer has been placed in use and two new steel sharpeners, designed on the work', have been installed. A new and up to-date machine shop, 60x100 feet, has recently been completed, as well as a brick building with concrete roof for storing thawed powder. Early in the year the company purchased the building, which they had rented for years as offices, and has made it very commodious. At the Granby smelter the work of enlarging its capacity by 25 per cent., commenced in 1908, was completed last month. The improvements during the period mentioned include : Lengthening ol eight 44-inch x 18 foot blast furnaces to 265 inches at tuyeres, and, by lowering the level of trie furnace house floor, making the furnaces 18 feet to feed with 13 feet of charge; construction of additional ore and coke storage bunkers of a capacity, respectively of 7,000 and 4,000 tons; installing three copper converter stands, each 7 feet by 10 feet 6 inches in place of the 6x8 feet converters pre viously in use; substituting electric for hydraulic power for operating the converters, and providing 10 shells for the new stands; putting in a third blowing engine���a two cylinder, 40x40x42 inch Nordberg engine of latest type, with a capacity of ro,ooo cubic feet of air per minute at 12 pounds pressure, and driven by electricity; two more Con nersville rotary blowers making three of this size, besides eight or nine smaller blowers), each driven by two 150 horsepower induction motors, and hav ing a capacity of 30,000 cubic feet of air per minute; and increases to electric power and all accessory plant in propoition. Thu new buildings consist of No. 1 blower room, 58x130 feet, with cement'concrcte, floor, brick walls, steel columns and roof trusses, and corrugated iron roof; blowing engine room, 55x212 feet, and a winu on this building 42x70 feet, all of similiar construction to No. 1, above described; an 8o-foot extension of the converter building, making this building 240 long, with an inside width of 40 feet, exclusive of. two lean-tos���on one side 34 feet wide and on the other 24 feet, this large building being of regular mill construction-steel throughout, with corrugated < iron walls and roof; and a converter-slag bin, of steel and having a capacity of 30 tons. The dimensions of the blast furnace building, which is of similiar construction operated by the Consolidated Minings and Smelting company under U'dsp, i* largely a quai'rv proposition and a minimum amount ol development is required. The ore mined at the Simw- srpe and treated-at the company's Trail smelter- during the yvar was 161,272 tons of a gross value of $726,- 566. The method 1 f mining on this property in the open season is glory holing and in the winter underground sloping on the chamber and pillar plan. The cost of operating during the past year compared favorably with nearby properties. The property, it may be said, is practically a continuation of the Granby's Gold Drop mine and the Dominion's Rawhide. The ore body consists of a large blanket-like formation impregnated with copper to the extent of from 1 to 2 per cent, with gold and silver values amounting to about $1.50 per ton. The ore body to that of the converter building are.attains a thickness of 80feet in places, length, 290 feet, and width, 84 feet, the main span being 71 feet and a lean-to 13 feet. The treatment capacity of the works,, with eight furnaces running, is 4500 tons of ore a day; the converter capacity is 36,000 000 pounds of, copper per annum. The quantity of ore treated in 1909, subject to revision of figures for De-; cember, taken as estimated was r,o6o,- 000 tons. Railway "connection be-' tween mines and smelter is by both the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern railway systems: ' b. c. COPPER. Although the mines of the British Columbia Copper company were closed for three months during tbe past year as the result of a fuel shortage at the smelter through the coal miners' strike in ihe Crow's Nest Pass, the tonnage from the mines and the production of the smelter are close to the figures of 1908. The company owns the Mother, Lode, Oro Denoro and Wellington camp group, in this district,' an'd the Napoleon and Lone Star mines in Washington state. Mother Lode shipped 350,000 tonsjvQrb. Denoro about 10,000, and the Napoleon about 13,- 000 tons���ali'of which was treated .at 1 he'company's sraelfer." At the Mother Lode, the principal shipper, some 1.000 feet of underground development work *as done and about 4000 feet of diamond drilling. The Oro Denoro had 200 feet of development work and 1200 feet <>( diamond drilling done on it, b 't like the Napoleon, was idle for about six months. Although no ship ments have yet been made from the and on account of 'its position lends itself to cheap mining methods. The Phoenix-Amalgamated at Phoenix is one of the company's properties that did not produce any ore during the past year, although development work -was carried on. :The most im portant work of this kind was the driving of a crosscut tunnel to tap the loo-foot level from the shaft. This will materially reduce the cost of min ing, as compared with the'previous method of hoisting. A tramway has also been constructed to convey ore from the tunnel to bins several hundred feet below, and to which a C.R. R. spur is now being built. Shipping will commence with a rise in the copper market. The company has acquired several new properties during the year. One of the most important of these is the No. 7 Mine, located .in the Central camp, about three miles southeast of Boundary Falls. This property has about half a mile of underground workings and has a sufficient amount of ore blocked out 10 justify the erec tio'n of a mill. It is the intention of the company to provide this in the .spring with an aerial tramway, con necting the mine with the mill.v which is to be located at "Boundary Falls. The vein in this property is well defined and shows an average width of 2j�� feet. The principal values are gold, silver and lead, while its character is white quaitz, carrying sulphides. Besides the No. 7 the company has under bond the New York and Norfolk claims, the Cabin Fae fraction and the Black Jack claim. GREENWOOD TAKES; j TWO FIRST GAMES In the Boundary Hockey League ' \ Greenwood hockey team have got away to a good start in the race /cjr the Boundary hockey championship, having now two wins to their credit, while Grand Forks and Phoenix have each had a defeat. , ; fiREENWOOD 4; PHOENIX 3 n j The first game in the Boundary Hockey league took place in Phoenix rink' on New Year's night, when Phoenix lo��t to Greenwood by a score of. 4 goals' to 3. The two teams being evenly matched a good lively game was presented, and the supporters of either team among the spectators had plenty of opportunity for "rooting.'.' The puck was faced at 9 p. m. by Referee James Church after a short introductory speech, and in two minutes McQueen found the net, and the first goal went to Phoenix; eight minutes later McDonald scored for Greenwood,1 followed by Clark for Phoenix-in seven minutes, and Clerf for Greenwood in three minutes���the score at half time being a tie, Vail. Tn the second half McQueen secured the third goal for Phoenix, while McDonald added two for the visitors. Just before time was called the Greenwood umpire raised his hand for another goal, but on examination it .was clear the puck had never been ^jnside the net. Very little roughness was indulged in, only two players going to the fence, and the referee's decisions were���-, highly satisfactory. McQueen was easily the star man on the ice, though Watson did conspicuous work in securing the victory fot the visitors. WhilePhoenix lost the game they were nevertheless opposed by the strongest aggregation Greenwood has had in years. The teams lined up as follows: Phoenix Greenwood McQuerrie goal Watson Simrns point Russell Lackey c. point McDonald Clothier rover Bloomfield Clark centre Clerf McQueen r. wing Cameron Traynor 1. wing Rocbon Jackpot group in Wellington camp, l-The.company also located three claims four miles from Phoenix, the C.P.R. is [during the year, under the names of now constructing a branch line-to the property and shipping is expected to commence about March rst. The Jackpot Rr&Hp includes eight claims and was acquired by the company in "1908 and since that time over 2,500 feet of development work has been done, and a large amount of ore blocked out. Assay returns from this ore run as high as $20 per ton, prin': cipally in gold, with about two per cent copper. A boarding house, three bunk houses, store house, blacksmith shop, assay office and residence for the manager,-Harry Johns, are the new buildiugs constructed. It is semiofficially announced that the C. P. R. branch now being built to the Jackpot- group will be continued nine miles further, to tap the B. C. Copper company's ' Lone Star mine,. located im mediately across the- international boundary, and where some 300,000 tons < fore are b!ocked���out. . At the British Columbia Copper smelter the tonnage treated, notwithstanding the three months'close down, was approximately the same in 1909 as in 1908. The company is credited with having reduced its copper pto duction costs to 8 8 cents per pound in September and to 7.35 cents in Oc t iber. While there have been no improvements to the smelter during the year, it is understood to be the intention of the company to shortly increase its capacity from 2000 to 3000 tons daily, in order to handle tbe increase in tonnage which will result in shipments from thc Jackpot property and the Dominion Copper mines. A discussion of the British Columbia company, taken from the Denver Mining Record, appears elsewhere in this issue' In May last, the assets of the Dominion Copper company were taken over by the New Dominion Copper company, and since that time the latter has passed into the control of the British Columbia Copper company. As a result of this it is expected that the reduction works at Boundary Falls will be abandoned and the Dominion ores treated at the British Columbia smelter. Exploratory work with the diamond drill is now in progress at the Dominion's Rawhide mine, about 30 feet being done each day, for the purpose of determining development work to be undertaken in order to secure.a substantial regular output. The Brooklyn and Idaho mines will be explored later. THE CONSOLIDATED CQMRANY The Snowshoe mine At Phoenix^ No. 66 and No. 77. It is the com pany's intention to carry out a scheme of development on its' new properties during the winter in order to put an additional amount of ore in sight previous to the erection of the mill. At present there are about 25,000 tons of ore blocked out in the No; 7 mine. ��� At Long Lake the construction of a 15-stamp mill is in progress, to treat the ore from the Jewel mine, the latter being connected with the mill by a gravity train line to carry the ore. The mill is expected to be completed early in the spring. The project of driving a tunnel from Greenwood into the hill upon which Phoenix is located was undertaken by the Greenwood-Phoenix Tramway company last spring. The company ran the tunnel about 200 feet by hand drilling, but i> now installing a compressor and electric drills. The Sally mine on the West shipped 146 tons of ore to smelter, which averaged about #115 to the ton Shipments made from minor pio'perties during the course of development work were: Golden Eagle, 390 tons; Little Bertha, 30; Bruce, 210; Molly Gibson, 104; Bounty, 60; Boundary, 19; Crescent, 13, and Tip Top.7. The last named property is at present being actively developed and is expected to soon become a regular shipper. At the Fife mine on Christ- ena lake development work has been carried on during the greater part of the year and considerable new machinery installed and the present, year should see it on the producing list Fork Trail GREENWOOD, 3; GRAND FORKS, 1. Grand Forks and Greenwood teams fought out the second league conflict on the latter's ice on Wednesday evening, the result being a victory of 3 to 1 for the home team. It was a fast and furious game from the start and considerable roughness was indulged in, though none of the players were sent to the fence and very few off-sides were recorded. There was no scoring in the first half, but- each of the teams scored a goal during the second half, so that when time wab called it was a tie���one all. It was decided to allow five minutes' extra time each way to break the tie, and in each of the five- minute plays Greenwood scored, the final being 3 to r in their favor. The Greenwood line-up was the same as played at Phoenix, while the Grand Forks team follows: Goal, Lank; point, Hay; cover point, Jost; rover, Mann; centre, Quinn; right wing, Baker; left wing, Reed. ���. PHOENIX V. GRAND FORKS The next league match takes place at Grand Forks on Tuesday, Jan. nth, when Phoenix will go after the cup holders. It is expected that a special train will be run from Phoenix over the Great Northern, and a large num ber of supporters will probably ' accompany the local team, as a good game is assured. lo.o.f. brilliant*-~ '[ social Evening Snowshoe Lodge Entertains Daughters of H!ebekah Among the really enjoyable at- homes that have been eiven in Phoenix, that tendered the local daughters of Rebekah and their friends by Snow- shoe Lodge, No., 46, I.O.O.F., -in the Oddfellows'lodgeroom, Miners'Union hall, on Monday evening sparkles conspicuously.1 Never has a 'larger assembly graced the lodgeroom and seldom has it been the scene of "such a pleasant function. - - A Early in the evening i the newjy- elected officers of Snowshoe Lodjge were duly installed, and at grp.m.\xco guests arrived.

G/ Potts, a real estate broker of this city, who late in, November acquired a section of 160 acres of land forming originally a pre-emption in'the Portland canal mining district, at the extreme northerly boundary of this province. The puce paid was $8,000. Two days after the purchase, strikes of high grade ore oni properties immediately contiguous made the establishment of a new camp a certainty of the future, and Pott's tract being the only available townsite in the neighborhood, it was sold to a New Yorker, who will build a new city at the foot of the Kiljs The price was $105,000 spot cash. Potts had held his property just 15 days before he secured a profit of $97,000 on his $8000 investment.

Promises Handsome Rate of Earnings The principal mines of, the British Columbia Copper company constitutes one of the i^roup of three properties in the Boundary distric t, British Columbia, just north of the Washington line which are now producing or have produced copper from extensive but very low-grade disseminated ore*, applicable to direct smelting. The most im portant of the three is the Granby Consolidated, which has wholly passed the stage of experiment and is in com plete trim. The least important is the" Dominion Copper company, which has tried to accomplish the same profitable results but has failed and stilt remains to fulfill its promise, in the light of what has been done in the other properties. The British Columbia Copper company, while workirg^ on a smaller scale than the Granby, is credited with being able to make copper just as cheaply. Adolph Lewi- sohn and associates, who are in control ol the British Columbia, have lately gained conttol of the Dominion, and it is considered probable that the two will,be united. In fact, the feeling prevails that these will be united with the Granby, and that the triple merger will become a unit in (he still lager copper consolidation engineered by J. P. Morgan, with the assistance of the Amalgamated Copper company, the Cole-Ryan interests and the (Jug genheims, especially since the Lewi- sohn copper selling agency is like'y to be included. In this senes of discussions, The Record-recently'dealt at length with the Granby company. (Denver Mining Record) di-nds again. (When we say "again," we refer to the fact that the "company paid 40 cents a share in 1907). The smelter has a nominal capacity of 600 tons daily for each of its three furnaces, with a converter in addition. Steps have recently been taken to install a fourth furnace and to enlarge pounds a year, wo Id be equal to moie than 16 per cent upon the present investment. One may shift, his view of the matter and count only up<*n the early prospects of the corporation��� namely, an annual production of 15,- 000,000 pounds, accompanied by the fact that during the period in which it Tha loer' the capacity of those already in, the! may be limited to this output, the next idea being to attain a daily capacity ol year or more, the price of copper will 3,000 tons of ore. Unless a copper;doubtless average higher. We doubt PROBAM.K As in the case of thei productivity last-mentioned concern the profi's of ihe British Columbia low-grade mines are made possible by a fair proportion ol gold and silver in the ores. The costs last year, without allowing an oft set for the precious metal values wsre between 14 and 15 cents per pound of copper, or too great to allow for any profits in average times. The recov ery of gold and silver brought the costs down to below 10 cents a pound. It is'the expectatfon lhat, with the operation ofthe company's smelter up to capacity, the costs will be further lowared, and it is intimated by the management that, under these conditions, the concern may soon pay divi- merger should affect the plans, it is understood that these improvements will be paid for out of earnings. With these in view, a normal average of 1,000,000 tons of ore per annum may be expected. The grade of the dres is slightly lower than those of the Gran- by, which recovers about 25 pounds of bullion to the ton, and thus far the British Columbia has shown a recovery in the neighborhood of 20 pound*, though it is understood lhat it is now doing better. On a basis of 20 pounds to the ton, an annual output of 20,- 000,000 pounds may be anticipated. Some of the ores carry as high as $2 a ton in gold, but the average is nearer to $1 a ton, and the silver values bring the precious metal contents up to $T 25 a ton, according to recent experience. Allowing these values as an offset against costs, the company reported its costs .'or the fiscal year 1908 as 9.69 cents per pound of copper, and it is the hope that this figure will be re duced to 9 cents. A permanent annual profit of only 3 cents a pound of copper wonld thus give the concern annual earnings of $600,000, or nearly ���>5 per cent upon its outstanding capital stock. Indicated Yield The company has On Investment, an authorized stock issue of 600,000 shares, par value of $5 a share, of which 503,000 shates are in the hands of the public. In the open market, on the New York Curb, the price has shown only moderate fluctuations during the present year, selling mainly between $7 and $8 a share. In former years it has sold as high as $15 and as low as $3.25, while during the recent copper share movement it went ��o $8.25. At $8 a share a valuation of about $4,000,000 is indicated for the enterprise, and the assumed rate ot earnings from copper at 13 cents a pound, costs at 10 cents a pound and an output of 20,000,000 if 14 cents a pound is too high an average to figure on during the next year, while subsequently it promises to run much higher. A 4-cent profit on 15,000,000 pcunds is the same as a 3 cent profit on 20,000,000 pounds In considering the permanent run of the property, with its probable increase of capacity, we have purposely rated its earning power on the conservative basis cf 3 cents a pound profit*, to indicate the rather high rate of earnings on the present investment that may occur under limited conditions. The company has not provided itself against thc possible tie-up of its fuel supply by reason of labor I troubles, as has been done in the case of the Granby, and it may be subject to this annoyance at any lime���a fact which should perhaps be rated into the computation, A permanent run of 15,000,000 pounds of copptr per annum, at a profit of 4 cents a pound is equal to $6oo,coo a year, so that it appears to be a comparatively easy matter for the company to earn as much as $1 a share upon its outstanding capital. Upon a market price of, He'�� ��rP��>ter, plumber, machinist $8, these earnings are equal to 12 per cent, j y ar.

McLaren's tales of Scotch folk have proven one of the most successful book dramatiza tions now being used for stage purposes. It is about time the theatre-goers ol Phoenix took a tumble to themselves and make an effort to be seated in the opera house before the curtain rises for a show. It is not only a great anno>- ance to performers to have half the mdieiicc arrive late, but it is a nuisance to those who have reached their seats in good time and wane to see ths whole performance. Of course, we recognize lhat coming late and promenading theaisles alone offers a splendid chance for others to see your new hat or your new girl, but this is to be provided for. All ladies wishing to show off their new hats, and beaux with new girls are requested to come a little late and take a seat at the back ol the hall. After the first act they will be allowed to pass down the aisles to their seats and exhibit their '"newest." Those without anything new should reach their scats before the curtain rises. The Bonnie Briar Bush will start at 8:30 sharp. FALLS TO DEATH IN GOLD DROP MINE Axel Carlson Loses His Life On Sunday An unfortunate accident occurred at the Gold Drop mine'on Sunday morning, whereby Axel Kondrad Carlson lost his life. Although other miners were close to him at the time, none were eye witnesses of the accident, but Carlson is thought to have become overbalanced on the bench on which he was working and fell a distance of 40 feet, alighting . on his head. His skull was badly fractured and death was instantaneous. Coroner Black presided at an inquest on Monday afternoon, when the jury 'returned a verdict of accidental death. Deceased was 19 years of age, and a native of Malmberget, Sweden, where he had worked in mines prior to com ing to Phoenix a year ago. A brother Fred, and a sister, Berna, reside in Phoenix, while his mother lives in Sweden. The funeral took place on Tuesdty afternoon under the auspices of the Scandinavian Aid and Fellowship society and was very largely attended Services were conducted in -.Miners' Union hall nnd interment took place in the city cemeteiy, Rev.'

In the provincial amateur boxing championship bouts which took place at Vancouver on New Year's niuht Billy Biner of Phoenix wdn the welterweight championship. Biner left Phoenix three months ago lor Los Angeles ar|d* after a stay there went to Vancouver and joined lhe athletic club of that city. The Dail> Province contains the following reference to the bout: "W. Bmer showed nice style in the welterweight class, but he had two hard battles Biner met his clubmate, G. .\ddison, first, and secured a clean- cut decision in three rounds. 116 was very weak when he slacked up with Jack Newconib in thu final, but he put ui) a heavy battle Newcomb had the better of the first two rounds, but Biner came back well in the third, and the jtidues disagreed. In the extra round Bmer used his left well and cleaily deserved the victoiy." IIINHR WAS POPULAR Daily Wo Id: "Will Biner, who had already figured in one hard bout earlier in the- evening, came on in the final of the welterweight championship, against "Smiling Jack" Newcombe. Jack was a trifle ovei-confidoni and tnok things too easy in the first two rounds with thc result that he lost 11 golden chance to win a championship Biner was very tired and showed it oefore the first round was over. It was mostly a "eries of chnces varied with an occasional long right from Biner and a few wild swings by New- combe who lowurds the end of th' round landed pretty frequently. Jack's smile grew quite pronounced in the second round when Biner got so tired 'hat he could hardly keep his feet when Ncwcombd put his weight on him in the clinches. Newcombe had a good margin in the second round, but in the third Biner made several desperate rallies and mixed so cleverly that he managed to even things up and an e\tra round was ordered. And this extra round made a great wind up for the eveninp. The sympathy of the crowd was naturally with Biner and encouraged b) the cries of his friends, he summoned all the reserve energy he had and went after his lanky but elusive opponent in fine style. For a portion of the round Biner kept Jack on the defensive, but made little impression on the man with 'the Filz- sinrimons shoulders. Jack did not help matters .my by trying to hit in the clinches" occasionally and as a result of Biner's good work in the extra spasm,' he was awarded the decision��� an award that greatly pleased the fistic fans.
