The Phoenix Pioneer was published in Phoenix, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from April 1898 to May 1916.

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.

Last Monday night the Phoenix junior hockey team went down to Greenwood to.try conclusions with the local team, and after a spirited contest found themselves woisted by a score of 6 to 4. At the close of the last half, ihe score stood 4 to 4, whereupon it was decided to play fifteen r/iinutes during which time theGreenwood boys got in two more goals. 'The final match game of the season was played between the Greenwood and Phoenix teams here Wednesday night, resulting iu a scoie of 5 to 2 in favor of the home team. A. Binei and L.

Mother Lode smeller for ihe last three years, will start on a tiip to Prince of Wales Island, on the west coast of the province. Mr. Johnson has been of- feied the position of superintendent of a new smelter soon to be erected at that point by capitalists represented by Sam I. Silveiman, of Spokane. Woik on the copper propeilies ofthe company has been prosecuted steadily for many months.and a large area of ore has been blocked out, which will show a good profit on every ton. But this is not the only string that Mr. Johnson has to his bow. A lead and copper smelter is to be erected at Sand Point, Idaho, and Mr. Johnson has been offered ihe superintendency ol that also. This company is known as the Panhandle Mining & Smelting Co., and is located in a rich copper and silver-lead district, near or on Pen d'Oreille lake. It is backed by Indianapolis capital. Mr. Johnson has not decided which ol the two offers to accept, and may superintend the building of both smelters. SCHOOL INSPECTOR WILSON WAS HERE .

The average person of intelligence is constantly absorbing infoi mation gained from advertising, and in one way and another it is having its influence upon all, who read trade announcements.

I'he Payne mine, Slocan, has per fected plans for installing a zinc roasting plant. A valuable body of ore has been stiuck in the Ymir mine at the r,000- foot level. The Green Mountain mine, neai Rossland, will spend $25,000 in development. In the Slocan district the spring snowslides are beginning to get in then deadly work. A large body of ore has been found upon the 900 foot level ol the White Dear, at Rossland.

A complete aerial tramway has been ordered for the Oyster-Ciiterion group in the Lardeau, to be installed in April.

Once again it is given out that the Noithport smelter will soon blow in, run all the iumaces, and perhaps build two more and put in a converter. Eastern coke is to be used. The Trail smelter is reported to be handling 12,000 tons of ore monthly from the Wai Eagle and Centre Star mines. The lead refinery is to be en larged at once.

Marvelous Coal Measures A subscriber to the Phoenix Pioneer living in Alberta writes as follows regarding the wonderful coal fields of :tha section: - \"Southern Albf rta is great in possibilities of the future, its vast coal deposits, now rapidly being ^opened up.

Orsney Shares in Boston. 0It is learned on good authority that the stock of the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smeltjng and Powei Co. will shortly be listed on the Boston stock exchange. Application has already been made and as soon as tne details are completed the stock will be dealt in at Boston. The company has recently issued a statement, covering the latest'developments accomplished and other facts pertinent to the company. The capital is $15,000,000, divided into i,,-oo,o0Q shares of the par value of $10 each. The development of the mines, at Phoenix, up to January 1, 1903, shows more than 16,675 feet '\" tunnels, drifts, shaf's and upraises, exposing blocks of ore from 240 to 280 feet square. The present output is 1,- 500 tons per day and is limited only by fhe capacity of the furnaces. The smelter at Grand Forks, B. C, consists of four furnaces and two converters, and is shipping about a carload of blister copper daily to the eastern re fineries. Two more furnaces are to be delivered and in operation by August and will increase the capacity of the smelter to more than 2,000 tons per day of 24 hours, ����� Hostpn Mining Bureau.

From his account of his experiences at the races with his best girl, we quote a few characteristic extracts: When we got to the track they were bunching the bones for the first race, so I told Clara Jane I thought I'd crawl down to the ring and plaster two of three thousand around among the needy. Two or three thousand, and me wltb nothing but a flve-spot in my jeans, and-the return ticket money in thatt \"Sure!\" I said; \"I've got a pipe!\" ���\"Well, I hope you won't smoke tt near me. I hate pipes!\" She said. \"All right;.I'll take my pipe dowa to the betting ring and smoke it there!\" Z said, and we parted good friends. (In front of the band stand he mat m number of friends ready to give nim tips on the winners: Every Breezy Boy I met had a different hunch, and they called me into the wharf and unloaded. I figured it out that If I had bet flvo dollars on each good thing they gave me I would have lost four hundred thousand dollars. Then I ducked under, copped up ���> stein of root beer, and climbed up again to the hurricane deck. \"Did you 'bet?\" enquired Clara Jane. \"Only seven hundred and thirty dol. lars,\" I said; \"a mere bag o' shells.\" I leave a call tor 7.30 every morning, and I suppose that's the reason I was so swift with the figures. \"My! what a lot of money!\" said the Fair One: \"do point out the horse you bet on! I shall be awrully Interested In thlsracel\" (John Henry picked out a horse at random, declaring that the only way It could lose \"was for some eore-head to get out and turn the track around.\") Sure enough, the favorite galloped Into port and dropped anchor six hours ahead of the other clams. I win oyer two thousand two hundred dollars���conversation money���and Bonnie Brighteyes was in a frenzy of delight; . .';.���'' .1 had a nervous chill for fear she'd declare herself in on the rake-off. But she didn't, so I excused myself and backed down the ladder to cash in. (Still the wary John Henry listened to the tips and refrained from betting.) When I got back to the stand I. had a preoccupied air. The five-spot In my jeans was crawling around and begging for a change of scene. ;J ::; When Clara, Jane asked: me how much I had bet on the race just albout to start, I could only think of nine hundred dollars.. \".;,,*;,;:\"\\ '������:������:.���'���>- ������ When she wanted to know which horse. I pointed my'flnger at every toad on the tr>ck,.and said: \"That one. ever'therel*'- It. won.
