"The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established 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. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News."@en . ""@en .

We promise them however that their loss shall be of short duration because in consequence of the pressure on our space we have made arrangements for'permanently enlarging the paper and are now only awaiting the arrival of certain necessary apparatus which is on its way. Bright and early is evidently the motto of Spokane fruit growers. \"The unwisdom of counting chickens before they are hatched has been pointed out not unfre- quently aud yet the \"orchardists\" across the border have fixed the dates for. their fruit show before the buds on the trees begin to swell. These dates are Sept/30 and Oct, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. We wish them every success aud only regret that our \"section of the country\" has nothing to show but blue berries and sasketoons. The stereopticon show on Saturday night was a great success. A^large audience appreciated the various pictures but got still more amusement from the attempts of the lecturer to overcome the difficulties of the English language. He did not content himself with the simpler words of one or two syllables as understauded by pur younger school children,but boldly plunged into words and phrases like \"innocuous desuetude,\" whatever that may mean.

Gillis, who was killed in. the slide at the Noble Five on the 2nd inst., took place at the Nelson cemetry on Tuesday last. The arrangements were carried out by the\" Odd Fellows, of which orjfler deceased was a member,. and a very large number of persons attended.

The avalanche cut out seven animals from the centre of the train and the edge of it just caught the poor fellow, who would have been in saEety if he had only been a foot or two further off. A special train from Spokane on Monday last brought in Messrs. Patsy Clark, Austin Corbin, aud Wakefield. The former two are prominent owners of\"*the War Eagle mine at Trail Creek, and the latter is their solicitor. They came in to consult the Commissioner on their positiou as owners of the War Eagle, that valuable property having been jumped on the Saturday- previous.

In an article for the February Cosmopolitan, he discusses the situation and does not mince matters in saying what China must do in this emergency. Two other noted foreign authors, contribute interesting articles to this number. Rosita Mauri, the famous Parisian danseuse, gives the history of the ballet, and Emile Olivier tells the story of the fall of Louis Philippe.

THE PUBLIC READING ROOM, It is satisfactory to\" note that this institution . is now oil a sound popular basis. The gentlemen to whose efforts it owes its origin deserve .thanks of everyone who has felt the long winter- evenings hang heavily on his hands. And who has not! On Wednesday- night, the Reading Room was formally- handed over to the subscribers to manage iirany way they see fit. Mr. Morden reported that the promised subscriptions amounted to $30 per month and the estimated expenses for the, same period to $25. A goodly number of subscribers attended the meeting and considerable business was transacted. The name of the institution is declared to be \"The Nelson Public Reading Room,\" and 1he object that of .'.providing a\"'free reading and amusement room for the use of the general public. A very useful committee and set of officers were appointed., They are as follows. W. A. Jowett President, G. H. Morden Vice-President, Peter Turner Secretary-Treasurer, and J. A. Turner aiuL A. Ip.

On the 3rd of February, 1891, the Toronto Empire, which it is hardly necessaiy to state,-was then, as now, the official organ of the government announced that \"acting on the advice of his responsible ministers, His Excellency the Governor-General has been pleased to dissolve the House of Commons and issue his writs for a new Parliament. The writs are to be dated February 4th. In view of the foregoing- statement, the question will naturally be asked, what are the reasons which have induced the government to appeal to the country at the present? It is understood that the Dominion Government have through Her. Majesty's . Government, made certain proposals tothe United States i'or negotiations looking to an extension of our commerce with that country. These proposals have been submitted to the President for his consideration, and the Canadian Government is of the opinion that if the negotiations are to result in a treaty, which must be ratified by the Parliament,\" of Canada, it is expedient that the Government should be able to deal with a .Parliament- fresh from the people rather than with a moribund House. It is understood that Canada will send a delegation to Washington after March 4th, the date on which the life of the present Congress expires, for the purpose of discussing informally the question of the extension and development of trade between the United States and Canada and the settlement of all questions of difference between the two countries.\" The italics iu both quotations are mine. There is nothing in J.his quotation from the Empire, of the inspiration of which there cannot beany doubt to show that the government of the United States had made any solicitations, or that, our government wanted the opinion of the electorate on the subject, as Che Chako states. On the contrary, our government assert that they originated the proposal, while every elector of that time, knows that the Conservative battle cry was The -old-flag.-The old-leader\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe bld-poliey- Your correspondent -hen3 relates a yarn about Mr. Blaine which falls to the ground along with his other quotation.

The steamers of the North German Lloyd Compauy start for their Voyage to New York from the city of Bremen in Germany\" aud, coming down, through the German Ocjan and the Straits of Dover, cail at Southampton for.their English passeugerB and mails. They are.fine powerful boats and complaints have often been made of their rushing through these crowded seas at 18 knots au hour. - Last week the s.s. Elbe.belongiug to this company, started from Bremen as usual with a crew of 180 meu and about 300 passengers. Somewhere in the German Ocean, the exact spot is not known, she came into collision with.the British steamer Crathie, bound from Rotterdam to Aberdeen. A glance at the map will show that the two courses cross each other. The Crathie has since arrived with- her stem crushed .in. She seems to have hit the Elbe fair and square on the port hand and cut through her plates and frame, sheer into the engine room. Only a few minutes passed before the ill fated steamer.sank. Too short a time to save many of her unfortunate passengers, of whom probably four hundred met with a watery grave. The terrible scene can easily be imagined. The bulk of the passengers would be poor emigrants from all the northern parts of Europe, seeking the joys of a new life iu the free air of America. Huddled together in the small steerage which is allotted to them, grieving at leaving their homes in spite of the poverty they have had to endure there, seasick and unused to then- quarters, for itis only their first day at sea. Suddenly at six o'clock in the morning a crash comes, the mighty ship heels over until the deck gives no standing place. GOLD MINING IN B. C. Mr. John B. Hobson, mining engineer, Vancouver, B., C, read a paper before the Mining Association pf Montreal on \"The auriferous gravels of British:C6- lumbia,\" from which we make-the following extracts:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD -;,, The placers of the modern rivers of California are practically exhausted. Those of British Columbia are not by any means exhausted. The shallow placers, known as bar, creek and gulch diggings, have1 been so far as known, extensively worked since the Fraser River, and Cariboo gold excitement about 1857. The \"most accessible of the above named placers have been pretty well worked out, in the districts I have examined. But* the vast accumulations of auriferous gravel on the benches along the Fraser, Quesnelle, Horse Fly and other modern streams examined are practically unexplored. These can be worked by hydraulic process. The deep placers of the modern streams, that.is to say the auriferous gravels lying below, ttie water level of the modern streams, have been worked to some extent, in the vicinity of Barkerville. but immense areas remain to be explored, and will in all probability be profitably worked in the future by\" the aid of modern appliances. The deep modern placers can be exploited either by shaft and worked by what is known in California, as the drifting process, or by the hydraulic elevator process. In other words, a shaft is sunk to bed rock, and the bottom stratum of .auriferous gravel is breasted out, hoisted tQ the surface, washed in. ordinary sluices and the gold recovered. Wherever an abundant supply of water can be obtained and delivered at the mine under sufficient head or pressure, as it, is called by California miners, the auriferous gravels lying below drainage can be suc- -Cessl-ii 11 yat i d_ p rofi t abl y__w_o rkecLby. the_ hydraulic elevator. ' - Water is abundant in all the districts I have examined, and can be brought on to the deposits, in shorter canals and at. much less expense- than' is possible in California. I have seen iu British Columbia, included in the Yale, Lillooet ahd Cariboo districts, three tinies'the area of auriferous deposits that are known to exist in the whole state of California. The .British Columbia gravels that T have examined, \"and'may be considered available for hydraulic working, yielded results varying from one cent to $1.50 per cubic yard, and as a whole average richer than any 1 have.seen in California. In some properties examined I sampled streaks, some of which were on bed rock and others.150 feet above the bed rock, that yielded prospects varying from $2 to ,$.36 pur cubic yard. We have no such rich deposits in California. A company of gentlemen in Montreal- have undertaken the equipment of two large hydraulic mines in Cariboo, the Horse Fly Hydraulic mine and the Cariboo Hydraulic mine, which will soon be on a basis for profitable production. I do not hesitate.to predict that the day is uot far. distant when the gold output fi'.oni the auriferous placers of British Columbia will not only surprise Canadians, but will astonish the civilized world.

The establishment of The Province now nearly a year ago in Victoria was a distinct advance\" in journalism. The now popular .periodical is a, high class review, well printed and written and edited by men of education and .ability and is entirely free from the claptrap and sensationalism which so mars the journalism of the West and indeed of the whole American continent. Not the least of the objects for which The Province was started was to collect the literature relating to the history of B. C. Many books and pamphlets written about this country by early settlers' or exploier. are now almost invaluable and are becoming every day rarer and more difficult to obtain. It\" is satisfactory therefore to note the establishment, i)f the Legislative Library, the Library i>f the Badminton Club and the Library pf The Province itself, no mean a collection. Another most satisfactory result of the founding of the review is the encouragement and bringing out of local literary talent. In these days of -Widespread literature a distant country such as this depends largely on its joiirna-. lists, reviewer-or even novelists to make itself known among the nations of the (World. .We believe the credit is due to. .The. Province Publishing Co. of being th. first to publish a work of ficiion in British Columbia. In \"Three Letters of Credit and other Stories,\" * by \"Kim Bilir,\" we have a collection of short and clever tales which have appeared from time to time in the pages of The- Province. .Their scenes are mostly laid in Eastern Europe, where the author spent av, large portion of his life. They are lively and full (if interest and will .well repay the readers for the- modest sum required to purchase the book.

If ail Creek maintains tlie promise of its rly youth we may regard the foi tunes that sect ion of the country and the oplo who dwell (-herein as assured, is^leads us to ask what has become of Silver Kiner? It may be said (hat iis is no business of ours. The mine is e property of a private company and ewspaper has no right to discuss ils Tfaiis. -That however, is not our view, j ii begin with, many of its shareholders iy.-'at a distance and it is only through he papers that they can get, an indepen nt account, of what is going oir irther, the fortunes of the town of lson are very i u-gely bound up with ose of the mine on the mountain that erhangs it; therefore we consider our. yes perfectly justified in discussing > affairs of the Hall Mines Limited, .wo facts are apparent. A very huge in of money has been spent on the ijne and very little ore has been shipped, is the money been spent on developing e mine, and if so does it look any Iter than it did when the present 11 agentent took hold of it?

An important new section relieves the holder of a claim from the obligation of doing the annual assessment work on it, if, within the year he pays $100 to the mining recorder and records a, receipt for such payment. With respect to the number of claims a Free Miner may hold, the effect of the amendment now proposed. will bei: to restore Section, 26 of the 1891 Act, in its integrity, the amendments thereof in 1S92 and 1893 being repealed.
