NELSON: SATURDAY MORNING DECEMBER 1 1900 PRICE FIVE CENTS THE COUSIN JACK GB0UP BONDED Description of the Property and Its Location Already Well Developed. It Is MOLLY GIBSON TRAMWAY IN OPERATION-OTHER NEWS TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE.' An .'important*- mining deal was closed in Nelson yesterday when Charles Parker bonded the Cousi Jack group of claims whicli is regarded as one of the choicest, properties in the great copper belt of t.he upper Similkameen country. The transaction was on a basis of -���?1S0,000, part of the consideration being shares in .a company to be floated in England to handle the property. The group is reported to 1)2 the making of a remarkably rich mine, one of its strong features outside of the merit of the claims thorn- selves being its proximity to the splendid deposits of coal discovered in the district. The Cousin .Tack group is located a short distance up Boulder creek, which enters the Otter, lakes and discharges through them into the Tulumee'n river, which in turn joins the main Similkameen river at Princeton. The property comprises the Cousin .Tack, International, Constitution, Nancy Hanks, Gold Hill, Overland, Penobscot, Monte Verdi and Chilliwack Belle claims, owned by Jack Phynne,' Edward Todd, A. Johnston, A. Clarkman, Neil MeLeod, C. G. Sperring and H. Allen. It is a copper aud gold proposition v,->ih profitable lead values on certain of the claims. The group was staked "by Edward Todd last year, .and the. development is well advanced considering the recent date of location. - Two strong veins traverse the property and, it is believed they form a junction at some ��� point. on the group. No. 1 ledge is traced on the International, Constitution, Naucy Hanks aiid Gold, Hill. It is 5 feet 8 inches in width, with 3 feet of solid ore carrying average values of 13 per cent copper and $8 in gold. The second vein is opened up on the Cousin .Tack claim and is 13-feet wide. It.isj.claimed to average all across - 30 per cent lead, 2 per cent copper and $0 in gold. Prom a crosscut tunnel on this vein 100 tons of ore has been taken and the dump samples .$17 per ton. These figures are obtained from assay reports. During the present year the C. P. R. had an official in this section looking up coal lands. It was .ascertained that the deposits were enormous and tests demonstrated the average quality to even exceed the Crow's Nest product. The district has also obtained some no- triety because of the platinum "finds. Within, a comparatively short distance of the Cousin Jack group is the St. George group, including the London, Liverpool, *'Frisco, St. Louis and St. George claims, owned by Edward Todd, well known about Nelson as the locator of the Buck Horn at Ymir, and Charles Law, a prominent mining man of Vancouver. Mr. Law is now in England promoting ^a company to float the property. The .St. George runs $80 in copper and gold and one-half per cent in platinum. _______ Molly Gibson Shipping Ore. The Molly Gibson mine has its tramway in operation, and the first carload of ore that came down over the tramway was received at the Hall Mines smelter in Nelson on Thursday. The mine has shipped 580 tons so far, and is in shape to keep shipments up regularly. This is one of the many mines that is operated from Nelson, and managed by men' who live in Nelson. It is'also one of the mines iu which the people have confidence in the management, as for every dollar that has been expended there is a dollar's worth of property in sight. Mining properties that are carefully and economically handled will pay dividends, and the shares in* dividend-paying mines never go beg; �����"-����� _____ The Original Location. An interesting find was made at the mining recorder's office yesterday among the mass of papers turned over the Nelson office to be written up. The find was the original location notice of the Le Roi mine at Rossland by colonel E. S. Topping, now of Trail, ou July 14, 1890. The document is a half sheet of common linen note* paper and is written in ink," the regulation printed forms now-in-use being an unknown quantity ten years ago. The paper reads: "Please record the Le Roi mineral claim, situated near the west fork of Trail creek on the west side of the Columbia river and about five miles from that stream. Claim commences at west end stake of the Center Star mineral claim and runs in a westerly direction for 1500'feet with a width of 000 feet. Locator, E. S. Topping, located ���Tuly 14th, 1890." The story of the location of the big Rossland mines is that Joe Bonrjois, Joe Morris and a couple of partners prospected what is now the Rossland district and . discovered Red . ''mountain. They brought samples of the rock to Nelson aud showed them to Mr. Topping, offering him the choice of five claims if he would pay for recording the lot. This he did, selecting the Le Roi. Bonrjois afterwards discovered the North Star mine at Kimberley and is now living at Edmonton. He Likes the Country. Jean B. Richard, the Belgian mining engineer who has just completed an examination of the properties owned by Ernest Mansfield, acting in the interest' of English capitalists, has formed a very favorable impression of British Columbia as a mining country. His experience is broad, covering Af- . rica,. West Australia, Arizona and portions of Asia. In none-of these countries did he find sucha happy combination of tunnel propositions with splendid water power and fine timber as can be had in any of the Kootenay mining camps. These features are of the greatest importance in figuring on the possibilities of the mining industry in any country, and their abundance here has made a marked impression on Mr. Richard. In referring to the outlook he waxes enthusiastic, and as it is generally understood that the parties he represents .are large capitalists seekiug for profitable investment, the fact is of more than passing interest. Mr. Richard returned to Nelson laden with carefully selected ore specimens which he is having assayed. He leaves on Sunday for Arizona en route to England. ______ Strike on the Buckhorn.

London, December 1.���There is virtually no fresh news from South Africa, but the retirement of lord Wolsley, the return of lord Roberts and the appointment of * lord Kitchener to tlie 'supreme command, occurring as tliejr-do so simultaneously, are discussed. ��� Despite some misgivings, hearty approval is given lord Kitchener's appointment. It is felt that if anyone can clear up matters ,in South Africa, he is the man; and it is readily admitted that the task before him, though of a different kind, is almost as difficult as that which faced lord Roberts ten months ago, and is calculated to give the fullest scope to all of Kitchener's talents as an organizer. ��� jj'" , The.Morning Post -{hints - broadly that-the recent demand of-lord Roberts for reinforcements has not "been complied with: and insists that lord Kitchener's hands' must: not be' tied by any lack of njen .or horses.

Europe his, success was even greater thau before and he married a beautiful woman, v*who bore him two sons. He had reached the zenith of his fame in 1894. Five of his plays were being acted in Londou theatres at one time aud his poems and books were read everywhere. Then came startling .'disclosures. He was convicted of a nameless crime and all" those who had known him tried to blot his memory from their minds forever vAfter his release from prison he became an outcast in France and in Italy, living upon the bounty of a few friends. Quite recently a play produced in London, "Mr. and Mrs. Daventry," in which Mrs. Patrick Campbell is the star, is said to have been the work of Oscar Wilde. The play has been pronounced to be the most risque thing that London has ever seen. Dined With the Queen. London, November ,30.���During tho crush to see the Canadians at Windsor station today, several persons were injured. Colonel Otter, lieutenant-colonel Buchanan and captain MacDonald remained at the castle, by" command of the queen, to dine with her majesty and the royal family.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES FROM PROVINCE AND DOMINION THE J/^PS CAN VOTE AT COMINC ELECTION. Vancouver, November-30���[Special'to The (Tribune].���Chief Justice McColl this afternoon rendered a judgment'which states that thene is nothing to hinder all of the/two thousand.fraudulently naturalized Japanese in Vancouver from voting- in the federal election next Thursday. In a lengthy, judgment he allows; the appeal of Tony Haro, Japanese, who brought action-against the collector of vote*? t5b.c0m pel :him-to .register, his-name. This was a test case for the whole number mentioned. The chief justice holds that it is ultra vires of the provincial government to legislate against any particular class, and that an enactment practically overriding the allowance of the federal, government cannot be upheld. The decision has caused much comment here.. It is. reported that a rich strike was made on the Buckhorn prop- perty at Ymir this week in the shape of a fine vein of high grade shipping.ore which will run over $100 to the ton. During the week a pack train went out to the mine -with provisions to last the crew for several months. Breaking All Records. No single interest has profited so handsomely by the increasing activity in the mining industry as the (J. P. R. has. Over in the Boundary country two complete trains are constantly employed iu hauling ore, one of these being required to transport the 600 tons shipped daily from the Knob Hill and Old . Ironsides property at Phoenix. Before the first of the year the shipments will be largely increased by the movement of ore from mines in the Nelson district, aud the last quarter of the present year will break all records in the history of the C. P. R. in British Columbia. _______ Many Certificates of Improvements. Yesterday was a great day for certificates of improvements at the mining recorder's office. The Hastings (B. C.) Exploration Syndicate, Limited, received certificates on the Original Fraction, Luella Fraction and Fee Donald, while the Referendum Free Gold Mining & Milling Company secured certificates on the Referendum, Katie .and Golden Cross claims. The other mining records were : Transfers���the Silver Bar claim ou Falls creek by Alex McDonald to E. J. Curran. THE RAILROAD IS FIGHTING Against Timber Dues. J. R. Martin, deputy inspector of provincial timber lands, has returned from his trip to Kaslo, in the course of which he seized the Kaslo & Slocan railroad and'-tied---up traffic for the day. The seizure was made to recover about .$75 claimed by the province as royalties due on timber cut for fuel on the 'KaslbySt"Slocan locomotives. Tlie claim was disputed by the railroad people. The latter maintained that their subsidy was worded in such a way that the timber on their land was couveyed to thera hi fee simple, but the department rests its case on'' section .18 of the Land Act, setting forth that all conveyances of laud are subject to the regulation royalties which are there enumerated. The matter has been in dispute since the road commenced operations and all royalties have been paid by the company under protest. Finally they declined to make further payments and inspector Martin tied tip the system. At 11 o'clock at night on the day of the seizure a check was handed to him covering the "royalties and the engines were released. Notice was served, however, that the claim was disputed, and litigation will probably follow. While in Kaslo Mr. Martin also attached the steamer Marion. The ill-fated little craft was struggling under the weight of a sheriff's seizure at the time, and further actions are still pending against her owners, the Lodestar Mining Company. The land department's claim is for $90 royalties on timber consumed in the .steamer's boilers. Woman Took Poison.

OSCAR WILDE IS NO MORE Dies in Poverty. Dublin, November .'JO.���A dispatch to tlie Evening Mail from Paris says that Oscar Wilde is dead. The dispatch adds that he expired in an obscure house in the Latin quarter from meningitis and was received into the Catholic church on his death bead. Oscar Wilde, who was about 45 years of age, was born in Dublin and was the son of Mills Wilde, ah eccentric surgeon dentist, who has been termed the "crazy doctor." Div Wilde was knighted for curing a defect in the eyesight of a member of one of the viceroy's family. Lady Wilde, Oscar Wilde's mother, wrote poetry over the signature of "Speranza." Oscar was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and at Oxford. He obtained tho Greek FOR SCOTIA'S PATRON SAINT Nelson Scots Celebrate. Good St. Andrew's night was royally observed in Nelson. The Scotchmen and the descendants of parents born in the land of cakes -saw-to it that,Scotia's patron saint was not slighted and the result was a repetition of many preceding merry anniversaries. Heretofore the celebration has been confined to Tthe^S tTTf^n^rew'^Soeiet^^liiKerr but last night the Caledonian Society swung into line and their dinner was eminently successful. . The St. Andrew's Society held its banquet as usual in the dining room of the Hotel Phair. The apartment Avas handsomely decorated and in several respects tho affair eclipsed the former occasions of a similar nature.o One of Canada's most illustrious sons, sir Charles Tupper, graced the banquet with his presence adding a lustre to the event and other features assisted to make the dinner noteworthy. J. Roderick Robertson,' president of the society, occupied the chair with George Ivydd in the vice-chair. On tho president's right sat sir Charles Tupper and to his left G. V. Holt, president of the board of trade. About thera were Harry Bently, president of Fernie board of trade and G. O. Buchanan, president of the Kaslo board. The menu was admirable and well served. A feature was the advent of the haggis borne arm high with highland honors according to time honored custom. Captain' Duncan's grace was iniutitable in every sense of the expression. The toast list was introduced with the health to the. queen and received with highland honors. This was followed by a health to president McKinley, to which Captain Troup responded neatly. The governor- general's health was heartily toasted, and followed by the toast to the navy and army, which was left in the hands of colonel G. C, Tunstall, major Quinlau, W. J. Thompson and 1. G. Proctor, R.N.R Montreal, November 30.���The Star's London 'cable |says: The returned Canadians wore enthusiastically received at �� Windsor this morning and formally welcomed by the mayor and corporation. Colonel Otter responded. They then proceeded to the castle, headed by the Grenadiers' band. The queen, accompanied by princess Beatrice and princess Alice of Albany, arrived at Quadrangle court sharp at noon, and received a general salute from the men. The queen sent for colonel Otter and congratulated him,' after which the contingent marched past her majesty and party. Colonel Otter then presented the officers to the queen. Her.majesty had private Armstrong of New Brunswick, who lost his leg, brought to her carriage and expressed sympathy for him. The contingent then advanced in review order close to the royal carriage. The queen expressed her appreciation of the services of the regiment and her sympathy for the sick and wounded. Colonel Otter acknowledged her majesty's kindly remarks, and three cheers were given for the queen. The contingent was then inspected and lunched in the Riding school. Davin's Talk at Moyie.

Mr. Davin leaves here for Rossland, where he speaks Saturday. The St. Eugene starts work tomorrow, and it is hoped the miners will return to work also. owing to the hardness of the rock, which is taken as an indication that a large led*ge is at hand. Another 150 feet will have to be driven before the north end line of the White Bear will have been reached.. Fell on an Old Man. Montreal, November 30.���Joseph Milan, a boy of sixteen, weighing 140 pounds, lost his balance today while cleaning a third-story window of the Temple building and fell ' to the sidewalk, a distance of nearly 50 feet. He landed on an .old man named 'Felix Geofrion, knocking him senseless..

Sir Charles Tupper made an eloquent response, dwelling at some length on the magnificent possibilities of Canada and the manly part she had eA-er borne among the nations of the Avorld.

One is a Liberal, another is a Conservative, and the other is an Independent. One represents the railway interest; one the young- men business element, and the other what is locally called the' English element. Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Selous are old-timers; Mr. Scanlan might be classed as a johnniecomelately. Angered because nine out of . ton of the business men of Nelson are backing the mayor in his efforts to obtain an efficient aud responsible chief for the fire depart-, ment, the organ of the disgruntled element waxes wroth and charges Thr Tribune with being an unfair 'printing office; that it is not a union office. When did the Miner ���become the special champion of organized labor or of labor unions ?' Doesitpay its employees union wages of its own free will ? Would it'pay^ the wages it is now "paying, 'v&ve the charter of the Nelson Typographical Union surrendered ? or Avould it go back to the wages it Avas paying before the union was organized? In an office that employs four printers and one pressman, the saving would be .$30 a Aveek, and $.30 a Aveek would be quite a saving for an outfit that is' not declaring regular dividends. The Tribune gives employment to twelve members of the union, and Tun" Rossland Miner takes the Kamloops Standard to task for insinuating that A. II. MaeNeill retired as the Conservative candidate for a money consideration advanced by candidate Galliher of the Liberal party. Party organs are nearly always reckless in their statements, and no stntemt-nt ever made by a party organ was further from the truth than tho statement made by the Kamloops Standard. 13ut ifc is not so long since the Rossland Miner Avas making scurrilous and untrue statements editorially about a man who is not a candidate for office, but avIio supported the candidacy of Mr. MaeNeill. Tub Tribune is pleased to chronicle the fact that the Rossland Miner has become good. The Kamloops Sentinel errs when it says that the Hon. Richard McBride, minister of mines, is on a stumping tour through Kootenay in the interest of the Conservative candidate for member of parliament. Mr. McBride has been' in Nelson, Ymir, Kaslo, Sandon and Rossland since coming to Kootenay, He made no political speeches in Nelson or Kaslo or Sandon. If he made one at Ymir it has not been reported. He had not time to make a speech of any kind at Rossland, for all his time while there Avas taken up in listening to speeches extolling the wonderful extent of the mineralized zones that underlie the City of Rossland. No censure caii'be too severe, no condemnation too strong,'for*the political party responsible for the passage of the law that extended the franchise to the thousands of ignorant Japanese'who wero fraudulently registered at Vancouver this spring. It means that the will of the majority of the men avIio are subjects of-Great Britain in all that the term implies can be overridden at any time by a horde of- men avIio are aliens in every sense of the term. If the Liberal party is responsible for the legislation that x"��ermits this great wrong to be perpetrated, then the Liberal party must be chastised for its sins. There is only one way-to"chastise political parties, that is, defeat their candidates on election day. Every voter in Yale-Cariboo, before marking his ballot on Thursday next, should carefully and without prejudice sift the evidence obtainable as to which political party is responsible for this great outrage, aud then vote to condemn the party guilty. No voter should alloAV personal feeling or personal friendship to sway him in tho least. Electors of Yale-Cariboo, vote to maintain inviolate the freedom that is the heritage of Britons.

A like privilege is accorded the Labor party and tho Liberals.' An impartial view of the situation politic in Yale-Cariboo will bring the unbiassed elector to the conclusion that W. A. Galliher is hirdly the man we should send to Ottawa, There is a certain want of fitness about him for tlie position. He lacks the necessary weight that should go with a man representing a great constituency and which, on account of its extreme youth, is considerably more than less ignored by the powers that be at Ottawa; nor is his "fersuasive eloquence of the kind calculated to sway the minds of those Ave most desire to get at, and Anally it is to be feared that his large hearted nature Avould be unable to Avithstand the temptations incidental to aud inseparable from political intrigue. Nor is Christopher Foley's position any better. Honest toil is' all right and is a factor in the political world today, but Ave live in an age when to obtain privileges in the councils of the land one must know not so much one's particular business as men. The successful man of this era is he who can read men like a book and who can mingle inc the lobbies at OttaAA'a amid all sorts and conditions and take in at t.1 glance the situation and turn it Avith.equal quickness into profitable channels.> Men must be influenced and none can succeed at this unless they can see tho reason why a man opposes ,a certain proposition. Hence it is vital to send a man hither who knoAVS what it is to canvass his fellow men. What can Ave hope from ChristophorFoley in this "line? He Avould be quietly snubbed and with a pat on the back sent home witli' a request to study John Stuart Mill and more particularly the fable of the frog .and the bull. A man's personality is a vital factor and should not be lost sight of. John McKane is Avell endowed in this direction, as evidenced by the success that lias attended his efforts to induce his hard calculating countrymen to commi t their bawbees to his charge iii ventures which,at best "would be considered in older centers as smacking of speculation.. If he has been successful here, Ave have reason 'to'an-'r ticipato that lie will be as successful when it comes to our requirements at Ottawa, for he is the last man to submit to any ultra polite ���invitations' to -withdraw when interviewing some department, even =iTTin2iTIi'steTP^ doorknob, and lips bubbling with promises light as air and as effective as the Miner's paternal advice to tho citizens of Nelson. WRITTEN BY LIBERALS. Tun Trjuunh has placed a part of one coin inn nt the disposal of the Liberals, whose views will be expressed therein from time to timo during the campaign. A like privilege is accorded the L.ibor party and tho Conservatives. As election day approaches W. A. Galliher's success is becoming more and more assured. The northern part of the constituency is solid, John McKane's campaign of personal abuse of Mr. Galliher rounding off the already successful efforts of the Liberals. Unbiased reports now coining in from Revelstoke show how completely the Conservative candidate Avas snowed under at the meeting there,- aud how Avise he was. to decline Mr. Galliher's proposal that the two should stump the Kootenays together. The last 30 minutes of Mr. McKane's speech consisted of personal abuse of and personal charges against his opponent, who Avas then generously .allowed five minutes for his defense. But that five minutes was ample to disprove the slanders, and capture the meeting which broke up with three cheers for W. A. Galliher. And this was a Conservative meeting. In the meantime the -Conservatives are pursuing their accustomed tactics when driven to the wall. Personalities and appeals to race and religious prejudices are their only campaign arguments. The Miner is reduced to indulging in speculations as to the relative merits of John McKane and Chris THEiBMKBF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON Is now7 prepared to issue Drafts and Letter? of Credit on Skaguay, U.

D.aney of Ferguson .and Miss Eveline .Towett of Trout Lake were married on November 22nd. The .annual collection for the general hospital fund will be taken in the city churches tomorrow. # Politics is said to be an expensive luxury, ns some of the men who recently ran for office in Nelson found out. A session of tlie small debts court was held at the court house yesterday and several minor eases wero disposed of. * Adolph and Mary Goderow will be charged at the court house this morning before magistrate Grease with selling liquor without a license. . J. M. Duncan, a special-organizer for the Canadian Order of Foresters, is in the city for a couple of weeks Fie expects to add a number of new members to the **oll of Court Kootenay Belle, No. 723. The executive of the Labor party have been notified that it;is doubtful if Messrs. Smith, M. P., and Puttee, M. P., will be able to speak at the mass meeting on Tuesday night owing to business engagements elsewhere. The anniversary services of the Methodist church begin on Sunday. December 9th. On Monday the ladies of the church will give a high tea in the residence opposite the parsonage, to be followed by a literary and musical entertainment in the church. On Sunday evening in Emmanuel church there will be a special song service. Good music, both vocal and instrumental, will be rendered. The subject of Rev. William Mun- roe's sermonette will be "The Song of the Redeemed." A cordial invitation is extended to all. The subscription started by The Tribune for .John Sein, the newsboy, lias reached a respectable figure. In addition to the amounts already acknowledged, the people of Salmo, through W. T. Beadles and H. E. T. Haultain, chipped in $8.50, and the people of Ymir, through Grant Morris, '$13. '���" Tlie total is now $204.50. Provincial mineralogist Robertson and provincial assayei- Car- michael have .arrived in the city to take charge of the examination of assayers for proficiency.

The bazaar under the auspices of the ladies' aid society of Emmanuel Congregational church will be held on December Oth, 7th and 8th in the new store to be occupied by Kirkpatrick & Wilson. For many months the ladies have, been hard at work and several hundreds of dollars' worth of articles, useful and fancy, will be offered for sale. Meals will bo served at noon and in theevenings. ��� Training Children. ���Last-night the opera-house was jammed to hear professor Alexander's lecture on training children, and certainly all were well repaid, as the address was one of the best ever delivered on such subjects in the city. Tonight "he begins promptly at S o'clock so that the political meeting may begin at 9 o'clock. He will lecture to men only Sunday at 3 p. m. and 8:45 p. in., and on Monday night his most famous lecture on love, courtship, marriage and jealousy in which he explains the signs of love in the head and face, how to tell a flirt or a jealous person, popping the question, aiid how to manage the mother-in-law. The interest awakened by this lecture has been so great that hi many cities "it was- delivered five tiqies. HOW THE PLAYERS MOVED Progress of Chess Games. The two games? of chess in progress between J. H. Unimex of Erie and the Nelson Checker and Chess Club have been postponed owing to the illness of Mr. Unimex, who is now at the general hospital. He underwent an operation, but is now in a fair way to recovery. R. G. Smith is handling the men for the Nelson Checker and Chess Club. Mr. Hunnex.is an able exponent of the game of chess and was a -mem- ber bf the London,* England, Chess Club. During his "membership he played games with the chess masters Blackburn and Gunsberg. Mr. Smith is one of Cauada's.crack amateur*?', having few equals. Below are the moves of the first game, Erie playing white. The attack of Mr. Hunnex is the same as was played some fifteen or twenty years ago by chess masters, while Mr. Smith's defence is the same as Lasker's style, which is a modern defence. Admirers of the game, of chess now have an opportunity of placing the men on the board and studying a very "brilliant play. The game at present is about eyen and cannot be woii by either side without some very-fine moves. Below is the game as it now stands: GAME I. JKkik (Wiiitk.) 1. PtoKi 2. KttoKB3 3. H to Q 13 1 4.

G- Smyth still leads with a percentage of .803, with the -following���-in-order:-J.--Hardie-.819,- H. J. Tuttle .052, J. H. Wallace .585, and H. Clark .515. During the month of December a handicap game is to be played with Messrs. Smyth, .7. Hardie and D. J. Hill on scratch. There are. now nearly twenty members in the club, and the December handicap promises to be rather, interesting, as an ordinary player has'Ja good show to come ont on top'with the handicap allowed him. ? A Petition That. May Be Considered. The mayor of Nelsen may not be' an angel either iii-looks or disposition, but the little boys and girls know that he is the one city official that never turns a deaf ear to their requests or petitions. Victoria street, between .Tosephine and Hen- dryx streets, is in bad condition, owing to the removal of rock for macadamizing Baker street. Tho children who liye on that part of the street expect a visit from Santa Clans, and; they have been told that he cannot pay them a visit unless the street is made passable for a man weighted down with, centuries of age and thousands of presents. The petitioners are all under six, and are named: Irene Crawford -.,., rJoa*i Crawford *-j" Helen Titsworth " Charlie Graham ��� Frank Graham Ouy Graham iMauel Grahum Bruce Mackay And a number mora boys and girls too young to write their name*) legibly. The mayor says the prayer of the petitioners will be granted, provided the public works committee gives its consent and does not afterwards change its niind. ���HW IBL BTEBS <fe GO.. *N*_3r.sonsr BTASLO *3_\.*isri3o*isr STOVES!

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-12-01 |
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. |
