NELSQST: TUESDAY- .MORNING NOVEMBER 20 1900 PRICE FIVE CENTS THE CHBONICLE OF MININB SEWS Information Regarding Sandy Creek, Which Runs Through the Great Free Milling Belt. , ITEMS FROM KETTLE RIVER AND OTHER MINING SECTIONS ' A report of an extensive deal pending in connection with Sandy- creek mining properties has directed attention to this section of the free milling district west of Nelson. Whether or not this particular proposition is taken np, it is likely that the section will receive the attention of promoters when the mining .season opens' up. Sandy creek rises on Morning mountain and ilows almost south to Koote- nay river, draining the west . slope of the mountain between Eagle and Smelter creeks. There are' indications along the banks that the creek was worked in the seventies by placer miners, but there is nothing _on record to indicate that pay dirt was' ever taken out in any quantity. The creek-was first prospected for quartz in 1896 by George De Maine,' who is still largely interested in the section. Since then a large" number of locations have been staked, and in some cases considerable work done. The formation is diorite and'granite with eon: tact veins varying from three to ten feet^in width and carrying low to medium free milling ore. A-number of claims are staked on the east fork of the creek in the vicinity of the Venus and Juno ��� -creeks; most of which' have been ' mentioned in connection with the Eagle creek section. On 'the main ���creek is tho Jumbo group owned , by George De Maine and comprising the .Tumbo, Jumbo Fraction, Merri- iield, Sovereign, Morning.Glory and Gold Standard. - About $1500 has been expended on the. claims and they show np well.." "There "are several veins ranging from three "to eight feet in width and ,a fair average of the ore is probably $10 ner.ton. Adjoining the Jumbo is 'the Superior group owned. by Ed. Brannigan.- The group consists of four claims arid has several promising veins which * have been uncovered at various points. The aggregate of work is not sufficient, however, to demonstrate the merit of the property. - Down the creek from the Jumbo are the Last Chance, Tiger and Kitchener claims belonging to Andrew Thorn, on which considerable work has been done. One vein is "ten feet in width and has been prospected by a twenty-foot shaft. East of this aro the Golden Key, Gold'Prospect, Salisbury and Missing Link claims, owned by T. J. -- Scanlaur-John-Richardson-and- Gr DeMaine. These locations were staked but recently, and no work has been done beyond sufficient to indicate the presence of several veins similar to those of the vicinity. To the east of the last-named claims are a couple of locations owned by A. J. Marks. S. M. Brydges and others have tho Kingston claim, on which enough work has been done to show the property to be promising.. .John McAlmon owns the Keystone and J. MeLeod has the Golden Key, the second claim of the same name on the ' creek. These properties were worked - during the summer with satisfactory results. These surface showings on Sandy creek are very promising and with . the increase in values as depth is secured such as has been the history of other sections in the same formation, there are a number- of pros- . pects which might become extensive producers ��� 6ft J1- comparatively economical basis. It is once more reported that the Galena Farm property, near Silver- ton, is to resume work and this time the date for operations to begin is set for the spring. Similar rumors have been circulated before and proved inaccurate and there seems to be no official statement on which to base the latest report. Should the management decide to begin work again, the buildings, plant and mine aro in splendid condition, although the property has been closed down hard and fast for almost four years. Two men have been retained in the camp to keep the pumps going and tho machinery in good shape so that no delay would be encountered. The fact that the company has taken such excellent care of the property indicates that "they have confidence in the merits of the mine. The Galena Farm, was purchased by its present owners at a large figure, said to be a quarter of a million. ��� The London & B. C. Gold Fields has seven men at work on the Olds property in the Kettle River country. The proposition comprises -three claims at the headwaters of the main fork and is regarded as a big free milling property, the owners having refused to bond the group last summer at $100,000. The principal ledge is five feet wide, and average values of $30 are claimed for it. The London & B. C. Gold Fields has an option on the group and are prospecting the claims thoroughly. , ���Dunsmnh-.-and Rithet of Victoria, who purchased the - well known Monashee group in the Kettle River country this fall, have not started work on the group as yet and the general impression is that they will defer operations until spring. The prospectors interested in the Kettle River claims are awaiting with keen interest the course of events at the Monashee, believing that if the mine is worked on a proper basis, "such as will be the case with the new owners, it will become a big producer and incidentally give the district the impetus necessary to attract attention. From. all reports to .hand the Kettle River country is particularly .well adapted to working mineral properties satisfactorily. .The district is not too wet nor does it lack water, supplies can be procured readily and almost anywhere by while the climate transported pack trains, moderate. is The sheriff has seized a quantity of mining, property in the Ainsworth camp to.satisfy .a judgment against the Britannia Company, which was represented by the late Alen Haley. The seizure includes the interest "held by Haley as trustee in the No. 3 claim, the No. 1 Extension Fraction, the Oneida claim and the concentrator at the No. 1 mine. The judgment is for $17,794 and interest at 0" per cent since August last. ' Acting under the advice of Charles Parker, consulting engineer, the Referendum property has been shut down until spring. It was found difficult to handle the mine at this season owing to the depth of water in the shaft. Mining Records. Yesterdays mining records were: Locations���The Republic Fraction, on the west side of Eagle creek, by Joseph Duhamel; the Lucky Monday, on the north side of Champion creek a mile from the Columbia, river; the Pat, adjoining the Yellowstone claim, by the Yellowstone Mines, Limited.

The General Committee in Session at New York Make an Onslaught r on Their Sister'Religion. New York, November 19.���Two -fierce onslaughts on the church of Rome enlivened the proceedings at today's session of'the general missionary committee. *. The general committee, which' is composed of all the bishops and leading divines in the Methodist church of America, has been in session daily at St. Paul's' M. E. church since last Wednesday. Tlie first person to advance to this attack was bishop Goodsell of Tennessee. In the course of an address on the work of .the Methodist .Episcopal church in various parts of Europe he had occasion to speak of the work done in Italy and conditions obtaining "there. - It-is , in the recital of the latter that the bishop .used such strong language against the church of Rome. "In northern Europe, for instance in"' GeVmany . and the Scandinavian countries," the bishop said, "we have made satisfactory, progress, though, *we ' have had a great deal of indifference.and even opposition to contend 'with.. "Statistics show that we have'not made as much headway during the first 35 years in:Eiirope as we'have in the same period in this country, which offers a more congenial- soil for our creed. ^Southern-Europe the conditions are somewhat different. There - tho struggle has been harder. There;~ are many who doubt whether, we may have any work at all., in Italy, that land of superstition.' and-- . priestcraft, whether we could'ever hope' to accomplish.anything there in the face, of the tremendous .presTs "of adverse thought with ���''\viiich,'-w'e; are 'confronted. The fact is that Ave projected one* of our -workers into Italy. He soon made up his mind that in Rome he had to do as the Romans. He began training the young by taking them into our schools and seminaries. " The work is slow, 'but its value has been recently testified to by the pontiff himself, who has honored us by excommunicating everyone, teachers and pupils alike, connected" with our institutions of learning. In the effort to preserve for himself the triple crown of papacy- he has issued a sweeping interdict against the schools, and every one passing through their gates. This/how- ever, has only made us more determined to wipe out a system which has created out of- the former man of empire a cringing beggar with a monkeyand-ft-griiid-organ-r5 The applause which greeted this sally was deafening.. Tho next speaker threw down the gauntlet to the Church of Rome in terms as direct and condemnatory as did bishop Goodsell. This was the Rev. Dr. C. W. Drees, who for a number of years had been identified with the work of the Methodist Episcopal church in South America and was appointed, by the committee to take over the supervision of the work among the Spanish-speaking nations on this, continent. Besides bishop Godsell, lie is the only member of the committee who in the course of his labor has come in direct contact with the work of the Roman Catholic church. In his address Dr. Drees said: "A former speaker has said that a condition where half of the world is pagan and the other half Christian cannot endure long. The same can be said with as much truth of a state of affairs where Christendom is divided into two camps,- with Protestantism on one side and Greek and. Roman Catholicism on the other. The time is now,-upon us when a new question which appears in the Protestant.reform will begin to agitate the world and demand to be pushed to its final issue. After slumbering for four centuries this self same question was awakened through the last act of infamy of the Pontiff in declaring himself infallible. . Within 24 hours after that blasphemous declaration had been written on the triple crown of Rome, the Prussian armies invaded Catholic France. Forty- five days later the battle of Sedan was fought with Protestant Prussia the victor, and twenty days had. only elapsed when the united armies entered the "holy city" where the pope held sway, bringing with them carloads.of bibles. The pope lost his temporal power and since that day the creed has been weakening. "The Roman church at one time held sway everywhere, but now both that church and Spanish domination have fallen off their high pedestals. When Spain is arraigned the Roman Catholic church should be arraigned with that power as co-respondent. Ever since Isabella signed away Spain to the pope there has been an illegitimate alliance between statecraft and priestcraft against human liberty and human progress." . The applause was^as tremendous as it was spontaneous. Dr. Drees said in - conclusion that a most promising field among the Spanish speaking populations in America was opening in Porto Rico and advised the committee to spare neither expenso nor labor to oust Rome in that island.

New Haven, Connecticut, November 19.���When W. D. Holmes, who was once rich, fell down in alcoholic coma in the Hoffman,. House, New York, a few days ago and died friendless and alone of whisky and opium .poisoning, the last ��� chapter was written in a story of love and millions. Holmes, who sowed.tlie wind.and reaped the whirlwind,- left, behind him. a wife,.an actress,,who was driven from,his side by. his wild habits'. She was.Marjorie ReaTyea," who left here for ��� New York tonight after closing an engagement at the theatre here. She has gone to settle up the affairs of her unfortunate husband. ��� She told the following: I was married to Mr. Holmes, on July 11th, 1894, in Fargo, North Dakota. Everything looked bright. We believed we had a life of happiness before us. Tho wedding took place at the largest church in Fargo. It was followed by a big supper at the Hotel Metropole, at which one hundred guests were present. Unfortunately the conviviality that marked that occasion in my husband's career continued. His life was one big festival. Ho never drew a sober breath. -^���He���was- as- extra vagai.t-"as-his- friend Thaw, the man who gave such extravagant ontertainraents at Pittsburg. Holmes came from that city, and was not only a friend of Thaw, but was like him in his reckless methods. My husband was always liberal to me. He gave me a four story brown stone flat house in New York City, a victoria and a footman and treated rae to a year's travel in Europe. He gave me $20,000 worth of jewelry, principally diamonds, and a lot of antique furniture, which I still have in my flat in New York. ���He graduated at Cornell in the class of 1881, and he knew overy one. In Germany Andrew D. White entertained us, and in Paris James Gordon Bennett. Mr; Holmes was a man any woman might be proud of, but drink was his ruin. Twice I took him to a Keeley cure establishment once in New York and once in White Plains. ���������'������'���,.'"/���->�����,- But nothing could bo done for him. Whisky, that awful sdul- killer had him; in- its grip. He could not escape.vJ was: forced to leave him.. I could not spend my life upon the horrible task of nursing a drunkard who grew worse every year. I have my husband's will in my possession. I know its contents. I am his sole heir. I think that he left some valuable personal property, but I believe all the real estate he owned was mortgaged up to its limit of value. We never had any children, but Mr. Holmes had a son by his flrst wife, who was Miss Lillian Nearly Ready and the Are Being Printed.

London, November 19.���Dr. Morrison wiring' to the Times from Pekin Sunday, says: "In communicating the punishment edict dated Sian Fii, November 14th, to the foreign envoys Li Huug Chang submits it as the final punishment the court is able to inflict and repeats the stereotyped plea of plenipotentiaries, namely, that the emperor threatens himself and prince Ching with severe punishment if they fail to induce the representatives of the powers to accept the compromise. The mildness of sentences excites ridicule and strengthens the minis- ters.in their determination to de- mand tho death penalty. The death punishments are illusory. Prince Tuan is merely banished to his home and others undergo merely lowering of rank. Perpetual imprisonment means a life of honored retirement." Interesting Military Maneuver. An interesting experiment in the transportation of cavalry across a stream was recently made by the Fifteenth Regiment of Dragoons. The problem was to ferry the regiment, men, horses and baggage, across a river in boats improvised of the troopers' lances and waterproof cloth. A quantity of this material sufficient for two boats was carried on the back of a single horse. The experiment, which was made on the little river III, near Strass- burg, was a complete success. . The boats were put together in less than twenty minutes. Lances served as oars as well as for the frames of the boats. Each boat .carried four men who held tho 'bridles of their horses, whieh swam behind the boat. The whole regiment, about 900 strong, crossed. the stream in less than an hour and a half. A few weeks ago a similar experiment was made on the Rhino near tho floating bridge at Gamsheim. The river, which at this point is more than 600 yards wide, was crossed in less than three hours by two regiments using the samo methods and materials as' in the Strassburg experiment.

Tlie Independent Labor party aud the Liberal party' banners that were suspended across Baker street in Nelson went down during Sunday's hurricane, but that of the Conservative party ' weathered the storm. John McKane, it is a good* -omen.���= ���- ''-��������� Three nominations were made yesterday at Revelstoke. .Tohiv McKane' of Rossland was placed' in nomination as the candidate of the Conservative party, William Albert Galliher of Nelson as the candidate of the Liberal party, and Christopher Foley ot Rossland as the candidate of the Independent Labor party. All three candidates are respectable and worthy citizens, however disreputable their respective parties may be. In December, 185)8, the men who' now'edit and manage the Miner started in to vilify and coarsely abuse a man whom they did not know, but who at that time was mayor *" of -Nelson. They kept up this vilification' and abuse-" all through the year 1891), during which time the man whom they were abusing occupied no offici��al position. This-year the same course has been pursued. The people of Nelson are now slandered aud scolded for daring to elect that man- to offices of responsibility and trust, for no other reason than 1 localise he is interested in the public cation of a newspaper that competes with the Miner-for the business of Nelson and the . country tributary to it. Competition in any branch of business is legitimate, and the fittest survive. If THE. DRINKING qualities in the cup are the important features to be considered in purchasing tea.

The Miner under its present management, simply disgusts people with its' coarse abuse of John Houston, who happens to be an employee of Thk Tin hunk. Tiik Liberals are giving their party great praise for introducing a fair-wage clause in all contracts in which the Dominion government is interested. The city council of Nelson in 1897 caused the following words to be inserted in every contract let by the city council during that year: "And the said contraet- ** ors further covenant and agree, " that in consideration of * 95 per '���cent of the value' of the work " done being * paid to them fort- " nightly, that they' will pay each '* workman engaged upon the work " not less'than the daily wage of ���$2.50; payable fortnightly,-aud " that the engineer shall have the " right to discharge any workman " engaged at a lesser rate at any "time upon 12 hours notice." POLITICAL'-- POINTERS. There is no truth in the rumor current on the street yesterday that senator Tern pieman of Victoria had the Grit sack while in Nelson. The senator is an old friend of both" the chaii-manand the, treasurer of the Conservative, campaign committee of Nelson, and being one of the most liberal men -in the province, he would have offered to di-, vide with them had ho had anything to divide. "All their victories are won the day before election?,"is the way �� well-known Eastern politician sizes up the Conservatives of Brandon, Manitoba. "Yes; and that is the. way the Conservatives from Brandon who are in Nelson have won elections since coming here," was the retort of a well-known Nelson politician.

'"' The f,llossland correspondent of the Galliher committee is a trifle weak on facts "judging by the report in today's Liberal column. Mr. Sif ton's meeting is reported to have been an unqualified..'success'; unbiased reports'��� of same, however, state that it was very/* feeble and that John McKane carried everything before him, particularly on that petition which Mr. Galliher duly signed and over which there is much ado in the Liberal camp, contradictory telegrams notwithstanding. As a matter, of fact Mr. Sifton did not speak in Trail as reported, his voice having failed him under the strain of bolstering -up the Nelson barrister's cause. There will be a Liberal landslide on December 0th most assuredly, for that party's principles are built on sand. The advent in our midst of the "Hon. Clifford Sifton and brother and other smaller lights in the Liberal government conveys the im-. pression that Lawyer Hill is by no means to enjoy a walkover on December 0th. A clear month will have elapsed by then between the main elections and this bye one, which will give a large body of electors' time for meditation and sway a considerable number who were at first carried away' by the shout that went up that sir Wilfrid had swept the country.' Recounts are modifying this somewhat, nnd the Liberal-Conservative party- is as much alive as ever, and without doubt will benefit largely by this defeat, A now and more progressive platform will arise, baf-ed on standard ideals and traditions, yet standing square to the four winds that blow and free from unholy alliances with those of different tongue or tho deceiving smiles of Romish emissaries. ���^rP' 00 ' 0*' 0* ' 0*' 0*'0*' & ' &' 0* ' *-*' i-0 '-***.! j&'j**' 0jt>:.00- ��!^ <��������* -ST* >5 ������aaS ��� **5 -���aST* ^^'S^ ���f--*^ -S' a-S1. *^.*afi**: *<a^:'&��&**--- TV'*"'-' m <& CO 'MY- to to Dress ^^��^, Carpets and Men's Furnishings to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to -fta.

II. Mac Neil in favor of John McKane will silence opposition-insome quarters against the election of another lawyer to parliament. Mr. MeKane happily represents the paramoiint interests of this constituency, mining, and will be in touch' with the requirements of that industry. It will probably be said in the Labor camp that he savors too much of capital and that his sympathies are more ^hat way than , with the voters. Granted that this is so, is it not advantageous for all to have someone who can influence capital to come this way, for there is hardly a miner in'ttie land who is-not in some way interested; directly or indirectly, in mining propositions and surely to draw money, this way is as much 'to- their advantage as for that bogie of the.

London, October 20.—It is doubtful if interest in tlie general elections caused discussion equal to that -now going on nhont the invasion of the American jockeys and their followers at the race meetings. At first there was 'somo irritation under the ridicule aimed at the'riding of Tod Sloan, whose style was something new and utterly opposed to all turf traditions, but when his 7 success continued, the chafing became apparent in several quarters. Sloan was not the first American jockey given a mount at P'nglish meetings. Donahue made no mark here, and Sims, who rode for Dwyer and Croker, was not a brilliant winner. Sloan was fortunate in the beginning, and then good mounts came to him. The Keiff brothers, liigby and Martin, and later Danny Maher, followed him. All have achieved success, and the smallest and youngest of the lot, tiny Lester Reiff, is now at the head of the list of winners for the season. Mornington, Cannon, Sam Loates,- and Jones have seen their laurels fade, and though Loates has taken nearly as many firsts as any of the Americans, he has been in so many more races that his average is. lower than that of the three leaders- among the visitors. Naturally, this has disturbed the usual course of events. Followers of the races have taken to backing the American riders without regard to the quality of their mounts, and have won.heavily. This might be regarded*with toleration if attend-/ ing circumstances had not given scent to the suspicion of sharp- practice. The American method of riding with -short stirrups,, the jockey crouched low over the shoulders .of his mount, with, his hands low,- prevents a perfect' control, and there are many instances where a foul is claimed that might be unintentional or impossible to avoid'through his helpless posture. Sloan has been , disciplined -by the stewards of the Jockey Club for four riding, and his excuse is not a good one. "Worse than this, however, is the charge, made opeuly by several of the turf-writers, that drugs are used ..on the homes, and AV-onderfi.il bursts-of speed induced on occasion that could not be repeated, oi*, at least, were not repeated. , Another fact that has stirred up . feeling.is the engagement by the prince of Wales of Tod Sloan. It. is said that .$25,000 was paid the jockey as a retainer, the largest ever known in turf history, and criticism of this royal liberality was ^general. Now it, is rumored that the jockey has been released, on account, of the attacks made upon American methods and the reputation of the followers of the visitors, who include some sportsmen, of questionable standing. Lord William Beresford, the first to encourage the visiting riders,, is still...'firm' in favoring thatn, as is sir cWaldie (iriftith.. Thei attack -by lord Diir- ham. at a speciaU.nieethig of the Jpckey-Clnb, a report of -which np- pe.ared.ih;the Racing Calendar, lias . so .changed . the atmosphere, that somei of their., patrons are sure to follow the ..example,, of the prince of Wales. Lord Durham said, that the present condition of the,:,turf is worse, than it has been for. twenty- live years, and he attributes,if entirely to the.; American influence. He declared .that Newmarket..was a dlimping,- ground for American jockey's and their followers. Tlio national sport .has; a truly royal patron in the prince of Wales. His breeding establishment at San-' tliinghani is probably the finest in the world, and: his racing stock, since he secured tlie wonderful mare Perdita IL, has won high honors. For years the royal colors never showed at the front in important events, but at last the: racing luck turned. In 180(5, Persimmon won the Derby and St. Leger, and other victories brought the total of winnings up to $135,000. This year his royal highness has been even more successful, winning not so many races, but a greate.r amount, $1-15,000 so far, in seven events. All of these, except two small races, have been taken by Diamond Jubilee, who won the triple crown—- the Two Thousand Guineas, the Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaffuay, U. S., Atlin, B. 0„ and Dawson City, N. W. T. Derby, and the St. Leger. He was expected also to win the Jockey Club stake of $50,000, but was beaten by an American horse. Disguise I'..owned by .Tames 11. Keene, and ridden by Cannon, an English jockey. Sloan's disagreement with the Keeues, before ho came over, probably prevented his appearance on the winner at that event. John A. Drake, tho. American sportsman, who has been very successful on the English turf, winning iu a little more than five months the immense amount of $945,000, is* selling all his -horses, and will no longer have any interest in a racing- stable here. Mr. Drake, with his trainer, Enoch Wishard,' has.been called before the , stewards twice, and questioned about the running of his horses, and though both owner and trainer were exonerated by the investigation, the ordeal was resented. Mr. Drake called the criticism intolerable. . In his remarks, published by one of the sporting papers, he said that American jockeys and trainers needed no defense at his hands. His horses won fourteen successive races - at the Doucaster meeting, and the record speaks for itself. His trainer, 'Wishard, will probably be taken by lord William Beresford. There is something to be said for the American jockeys. They have certainly introduced methods which seem to be worth copying. .-A number of onr jockeys have adopted their • "monkey-on-the-stick" style, and have won races riding in that fashion. Their plan of getting away with speed and riding to win from the post has advantages that can not be gainsaid. But there is also opportunitity for well-founded criticism. That Sloan was not more severely disciplined at the Don- caster meeting is, undoubtedly to be attributed to the fact that lie was riding for the .prince of Wales. Who his next employer will be is unknown at present. His pay for the year- must - bo "large, reckoning the big .amount by the two races he rode York on-his recent visit, boys have been paid not Imperial Bank of Canada HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO.

It has been a great surprise to many people to learn that Dr. Conan Doyle is an Edinburgh man, born and bred. His parents were of Irish descent, and his father was the youngest of four sons, all of whom distinguished themselves. The eldest was James Doyle, the historian, who wrote the "Chronicles of England." The second was Henry Doyle, C. B„ the head of the National. Gallery in Dublin. The third was the famous Richard Doyle of Punch, and the fourth, the novelist's father, was one of her majesty's officials in the office of public works in Edinburgh.

CITY LOCAL MEWS W. J. Thompson, chief of tho fire department, is at Halcyon hot springs on leave of absence. A Denault, a miner, died yesterday morning at the general hospital of pneumonia. Deceased came from Montreal and had been working in the Slocan. The fire department Wiis called out at 8 o'clock last night to the Club hotel, where a defective flue threatened to cause trouble. No damage resulted. J. J. Malone is still looking for a gate that was lifted from his residence in Fairview on Hallowe'en. Information as to its whereabouts will be welcomed. "William Simpkins died at Victoria on Sunday.- Deceased was the father of E. T. H. Simpkins, registrar of the supreme and county courts at Nelson. .James Daw, a miner from the Athabasca, was brought to the general hospital yesterday suffering from painful burns about the hands and face received in .a premature blast. , The tramway company had several men at work in the rink yesterday making ice for curling. A meeting' of the curling club will be called shortly0 to arrange for the "season's play. /Esmer Wallace alias J. A. Skeets, was arraigned before "judge' Forin yesterday on the. charge of theft .from the C. P. R.' The prisoner pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment.. ', Thr Tribune1' is informed that the master and engineer of the Red Star did riot remain aboard tho craft until noon on Saturday and that what water came aboard was pumped .in after she went/aground. ■ The little stern wheel steamer Marian, which plied out of Nelson during October and is now lying at Kaslo, has been seized by the sheriff to satisfy a judgment against the Lode Star Mining & Development Company for wages due an employee named Mclvenzie. The craft is advertised for sale on the 23rd instant. . The Vancouver board of trade is objecting because the Victoria board uses the name British Columbia' board of trade, maintaining that the use of the words British Columbia is misleading. Tlio Van- couver^organiyiation petitioned^the bound for 12 hours. The management has one man in charge of three tanks with a beat of 75 miles, but the sudden frost travelled faster than the attendant could cover his long beat and the tie-up resulted.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-11-20 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
