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.

The British Columbia Copper company produced 558,190 pounds of copper in January, compared with 250,717 pounds in December The precious metal yields gave a total of 1746 ounces of gold and 8405 ounces of silver in January, compared with 1216 ounces of gold and 3811 ounces of silver in December. La-* year the striking miners in the west Canadian coal .fields-tied up operations most severely, although rather than shut down completely the company's management kept one furnace in operation on high- priced Pennsylvania coke. The December production was small, as but one furnace was in operation; not until February 12 was the complete battery of three furnaces blown in. February figures have, not been received, but it is expected that a still larger production than lor January, will be made. In the Voight property, which the B. C. Copper company took under option^las^ year, some important development work has been done.
