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.

HEATING As a result of a derailment of a light engine between Phoenix and Eholt on the C.P.R. at 7 o'clock Sunday morn ing, Leo McAstocker, engineer, is dead and George Beattie, fireman, is seriously injured. The scene of the accident was the steep down grade from Phoenix towards Eholt, about a mile south of the latter town, where the track curves sharply around the mountain and there is a steep descent of about 200 feet. The engine, No. 1385, had already assisted two trains up the hill and was returning down the hill light, when at the curve it jumped the rails and was ditched, landing in a damaged condition over 200 feet from the point of departure. Both McAstocker and Beattie jumped, the former landing about 40 feet down the declivity and the latter about 150 feet down. Both were stunned, McAstocker receiving a severe concussion of the brain, besides scalp wounds and Beattie receiving a slight fracture of the skull and a double fracture of the left ankle.
