[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.

Ten teams and a force of fifteen men are at work grading a couple <>f long sidings oi\ ihe company's -ground. Two miles of this work is to be completed as soon as possible, and will afford, room, for the storage of coal cars. .Another gang is busy constructing a large break-water for the purpose of diverting a branch of the Tulameen, and thereby reclaiming about 12 acres of valuable ground for the company. I lankinson's railroad camp moved into town about a week ago, and are al work cleaning up the grade through the town preparatory to the laying of steel. The last crossing of the Tulameen river will be effected by Sunday evening, and ihe track-laying machine' should arrive at Coalmont by Tuesday night. It is stated oo good authority that as soon as ihe passenger service is inaugurated, the. all-night stop-over of the Great Northern trains at Oroville will be cuL out, the trains running straight through from Spokane ro Coalmont the new terminus. The Coal Company are now making arrangements for the installation of a new saw mill about a mile above town, on some extensive limits which have just been acquired. The new mill will . cut 10,000 feet of lumber per clay. A spur will be built by Ihe company connecting-the mill yards with the Great Northern main line, so that the product may be delivered right at the town without any haulage. Successful Hunting Season | The deer hunting season in the Boundary has so far been a very successful one. Thanks lei the excellent regulations governing the close season, the animals are unusually plentiful, but have not yet. commenced to come down to the valleys. I'p to the present more than a hundred carcases have been packed out. The trappers of bear and predatory animals have also Glared in the general success, one trapper on the river having secured several bears, besides "capturing a- numbered" lynx and three cougars. The bounty on lynx is now $7.50, and $15 for a cougar. Hitherto trappers have been reluctant to lake off the timin"- tbat the Hotel Brooklyn The Only First-Class and Up-To-Date Hotel in Phoenix.

The mines around Cody are expected to be again on the shipping list before long. In the Noble Five bolh silver-lead ore c>f good grade, and high percentage silver-zinc ore has been shown up during- the past low months. Development is being" continued with encouraging results on the Reco and Sunset. During September., the Consolidated company received 24,717 tons of" ore, and smelted 24,713 tons. Tho total gross output for the month was valued at about $593,000, of which 67 per cent ol' the values were gold. The total gross output for the quarter ended September 301 h was SI.460.000, about 65 per cent ot' the values being gold. Chns. Camsell, known among his associates as the ".Diamond King," has returned lo Ottawa after a summer spent in British Columbia. Mr. Cani-ell, who discovered diamonds last year, in the Tullameen, reports no further discoveries oi note, but -lates thai the outlook in the Cariboo, where he did some work this season is good. A- a result of the lii st diamond find in the Tiilamceii, all ihe neighboring' ground has been staked out and prospecting is proceeding. O. B. X. Wilkie, Ihe Trout Lake- surveyor, stales ihat while there is no great netivilv at present in the northern section, a number oi properties are being worked in a small way with encouraging result s. The permanency of the ore. bodies at depth in the Lardeau lias been established beyond doubt. Mr. Wilkie states thai he has examined many different camps, with the possible exception of ihe Slocan, and has yet i lo liiul such encouraging surface showings as there are in the I.ai ileati. Vancouver, a short time ago. The amalgamation, says Ihe Canadian .Mining Journal, is \ina of the most: important moves made in British Columbia mining aflairs for several years. It is the consolidation under a new company oi the Byron, N. W., and John M. Harris mineral properties at Sandon. most noted of which i.s the Slocan Star mine, which, up to the time when its activities were suspended by litigation, had produced 83.000.000 in silver, lead and zinc. A party oi nineteen gentlemen interested in the Lucky Jim mine in the Slocan district visited the property a few days ago. Included in the party were Hon. R. P. Roblin. Premier of Manitoba and the Hon. Hugh Armstrong, provincial treasurer in the cabinet ol" the wheat province. A. J. Becker, supt. oi the mine, says that the lime bell in which the ledge occurs shows much more general mineralization on the No. 6 level than it did above, and fortius reason he believes thai when the ore body i.s found it will prove to be larger than ever. He scouts the idea that the scattered hunches of iron and zinc, heretofore encountered, indicate the dissipation oi the ore shoot throng bout the countiv rock on the lower level. cure the bounty is lo present the hide to the government representative, who simply punches a hole through one ear. This system is much to he preferred, as it permits the trapper nor only to secure the bounty, hut also allows him to obtain a better price from the merchant for a perfect hide.

He says the veins ou the buck of Ihe bund are never the same on each hand, and the hands of two persons possess such distinct markings that they enn never be taken one for the other. The differences levome most apparent when the j hand Is clinched.

The Peace River Thos. vJamieson,^ gold jfoin- missibner at Fort^ St. John, has ie- turned to, Victoria after"a sojoutn of two'years in the north. ,Mr Jamie- son is an enthusiastic believer in the prospects of the Peacet River'coun- trv-, and asserts* that,all that'tis jiecessary forvits immediate opening up is the entrance of the railroads. . �� Regarding the ��� future .prospects of Fcjrt St.'John, the commissioner was'particularly enthusiastic' Forty miles up the Peace river from Fort St. John there is a tract of ��fifty square miles of anthracite coal at Hudson's Hope, near the Peace river can)on, vvhich belongs to the K. C government. There is als'o practical!) unlimited wateV power in the can)on. It is estimated bv engineers that there is as much power at this point as that afforded by the Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. " It is quite natural to suppose," said Mr. Jamieson, " that where v\c have power, coal, a great agricultural countr) and .in excellent sup- pi) of limber, we will some day have a bjg to win." In connection with bis particulai work as commissioner, he had little to sa). "All the'rivers show good prospects of gold," he said, "'but only a little prospecting and practically no mining have as yet been done, but with the coni'ing '"of the railroad this feature of the country's resouices should be very rapidly developed."
