[The Phoenix Pioneer and Boundary Mining Journal]
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.

The purpose of this pipe is to supply water- to the well which the company is going to dig to supply the city"'with water in the near future. The pipe will disichjai'^e the water in a bed of sand and gravel-about 350 feet from the well, from thence the water will percolate through the sand and gravel to the well.

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. McKelvie weie the heroes of the team, being held in high esteem by their comrades for shooting the goals, the.former having thiee to his credit and the latter two. 'This match was the last of the thiee games with Greenwood, having worsted Grand Folks in two previous games, thus entitling them to the championship of the Boundary. 'The Greenwood team was composed of Hunter, Medill, Russell, Swayne, McMillan, Clerf and Aichibald. 'The Phoenix team was composed of G, Biner, Hudson, McAuliffe, Pierce, I rainer, McKelvie and A.

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 .

Adveitiseis find the best papers are the cheapest. An ad is like a poultice���must be made of the right ingredients and put in the right place to draw well. The article advertised biings results commensurate with its meiits. Whether good or bad it advertises itself wlierevei it is taken by the buyer. 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. It is comparatively easy to begin an advertising campaign with a million dollars and carry it to a successful conclusion. The trick of,, tricks is to begin with a dollar and conclude with a million. 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. The Uosun, near New Denver, has recommenced sending its zinc to Belgium in preference to Kansas. ���"Las't week's ore shipments from Rossland mines amounted to 7,597 tons, or 76,036 tons for the year. The Dundee, a Ymir mine, may be sold in July to satisfy a claim of $24,- 000, due ihe Royal Hank ol" Canada. A complete aerial tramway has been ordered for the Oyster-Ciiterion group in the Lardeau, to be installed in April. Operations at the Crofton snieltei are expected to be resumed at once, ihere being some 30,000 tons of ore on hand. The Princess Royal group on Princess Royal Island has been sold to an eastern syndicate. The ore iuiis over Jtoo per ton. Foui miners���Frank Crilly, A.Caul- der, E. Gagnon and Robert Savage- were asphyxiated by gas at the Nettie I,, mine, in the Lardeau, a few days ago. Twenty men are said to be employed on the coal measures recently taken over from Robeit Wood and associates by ihe Ashnola Smelter, Ltd , at Rock Creek. 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. On April 1st the Extension coal mines, on Vancouver Island, will be closed, and 1,000 miners will lose work.

A representative of one of the larg est copper interests in the world says: "The activity of copper is absolutely legitimate, and is based entirely upon the conditions of supply and demand. During 1902, 25 Per ceiU more copper was used than ever before. The supply is exhausted. That it has advanced fiom n to 13^ cents for lake copper within a little more than a year is not -extraordinary.' 'I'he marvelous development of electric woik the world over, and particularly^ in-the United States, is the cause. , Last yesr 170,000,000 pounds of copper weri? used for lyire in electrical appliances in this country.'' . 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.

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.

The following is the resolution adopted by the local bpard: 'That in view ofthe excessive outlay for books, being a heavy burden upon parents, that this board correspond with the trustees of other towns in British Columbia, asking them to co-operate in petitioning the Hoard of Education through their respective representatives to have the government at Victoria utilize the people's printing and binding plant for the purpose ol printing and publishing all the books possible; the same to be furnished pupils at normal cost ��� and also the school act be amended by omitting from claiise 3(3, lines 19 and. nt 1nd to provide te*t books for indigent pupils and to read, "to provide school books at nominal cost to all pupils."

John Henry Is a sporty man- about-town, the very antithesis ot Richard Harding Davis's refined Van Bibber. 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. '��� At the end of the third race I wa�� $19,218 to the good. ..;��� Clara Jane, had It down In black and white on the back of an envelope. In figures' that couldn't lie.' ' (John Henry remarked that when Clara begged him to be content with his winnings and.not bet any more, he promised, "but she didn't notice that I had my fingers crossed.") I simply had to have a roll to flash on the way home, so I" took my lonely V and went out Into the Promised Land after the. nuggets Maddy had put me wise to. . ',. .'; - ��� ', '.. ! (Pretty Boy was his choice, despite the fact that the bookmakers told him he had made a mistake.) When the horses got away with Pretty Boy In front I started in to stand on my head, but changed my: mind and swallowed half the programme. Pretty Boy at the quarter! Me for Rector's till they put the shutters up! Pretty Boy at the half! Me down to Tiffany's in the morning dragging tiaras away in a dr y! Pretty. Boy at the three-quarter pole! Me doing the free-library gag all over the place! But Just as they ame In the stretch Pretty Boy forgot something and went back after it. The roach quit mi cold at the very door of the safety deposit vaults. (Of course Clara Jane never guessed his plight, for he "rushed down among the ramblers and made a swift touch for the price of a couple of rides home," and on the way back promised Clara Jane that he would be awfully careful of his $19,218���conversation money.)
