"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 .

The Tribune says Salt Lake smelters are endeavoring to obtaiu cheaper production methods iu order to successfully compete with prevailing conditions. The Inter-Mountain says that the -men .working on the 1000-foot level of the Anaconda miue nt Butte, Montana, find their whiskers \"changing from their natural color to a pale green.\" The Denver Record .says that au Eastern chemist passed through that city a few days ago en route from southern Colorado, where he has beeu examining a discovery of tin ore. He predicts \"a tremendous excitement\" as soon as the locality is made public. The annual company is being organized to look for a mythical gold ledge found on the Mojave desert many years ago, but lost sight of by reason of the death from heat aud thirst of the finder. Considerable money and effort are yearly squandered in this way, but usually the expedition starts a little earlier than May. W. F. Kendrick, of Denver, writes: \"There is a large increase in the tonnage of ore received at the smelters since the dissolution of the Smelters' Clearing House Association, ou account of the reduction of both smeltiug aud railroad charges, which encourages the shipping of alower grade of ores, which can now be sold at a liberal profit.\" Talking of Montana the Butte Review says that this is going to be a great season for, mining operations, more particularly\" iu the hue of prospecting and the opening up of new placer and quartz districts. -Already the hills aie rilled with prospectors opening up ground that, for many-years has been considered worthless. Old mines that have been abandoned for years and placer diggings that were abandoned long ago are again being worked. The Hunter mine at Mullan, is to be opened up again with wages at S3 for miners and $2.50 for labourers. The rate for board is also reduced from S7_ to $5 \"per week. \" The\" celebrated De Lamar mine which' is making a net profit of $40,000 a month is paying the same wages. THE SHIPPING SEASON. Mr. E.

XHI.SUX. The Starlight claim on Toad Mountain has been bonded by Mr. A. IS. Humphreys of Duluth., The bond calls for $30,000 within six months, of which a certain amount is paid in cash. The Starlight is the property of Messrs. Kelly and Buchanan and contains a large ledge, which has been proved by means of tunnels and open cuts to extend along the surface for 700 feet, [t is largely composed of free milling gold quart/., but contains also pyritic iron with a high percentage of copper. Tt is understood that Mr. Humphreys, who represents the syndicate of Dnluth capitalists who own the Idaho, Alamo and other mines, will put a considerable force of men to work as soon as the snow loaves the ground, in about a fortnight or three weeks. Should his explorations turn out satisfactorily Toad Mountain will very quickly out rival Trail Creek. A very great deal depends upon this claim, as there are several otheis of like nature in the neighbourhood. Both monitors have been got to woi'k at Forty-nine Creek and will be now running continuously as long as the water lasts. KASLO. Several railway contractors have come in during the past week.

The Cariboo Creek is afterwards joined by several streams on all of which mineral has been found, but so little has been done on the claims at present that it is impossible to say of what value they are. At present the snow is down too low to allow of prospecting ou tho higher ground, and another mouth must pass before the snow has vanished. Except iu patches the timber has all been killed by fire aud there is little undergrowth, but. to compensate these is a heavy deposit of surface aud it is only iu the creeks that bed rock is found. The mineralised rock appears to be quartz, red and white, and heavly iu- pregnated with iron. Some of this carries a good deal of gold and has beeu assayed with very good results. On the hills to the south of Cariboo Creek aud southeast of Mineral Creek some quartz with galena has been found, while three miles up Mineral Creek an ore somewhat similar to that of Trail Creek is now beiug mined. Only a dozen are al present working, and owing to tho heavy iron capping to the ledges it will take some time to tell the value of the prospects. There is however a wide field for piospeetors as the whole couutry for several miles east of Mineral Creek is mineral, and locations have been made on several of the creeks running into Mineral and Cariboo Creeks.

There is suppressed excitement among a few mining men in Vancouver over the reported find of a gold lead just outside the city limits. The lead is narrow, but the quality is extremely rich. The ore is free milling, aud one man, it is claimed, could make wages with a pan and ordinary hammer. In a piece of specimen ore weighing two ounces there was $1 worth of gold. The lucky man fouud the lead within a few feet of his shack and will be able to haul the ore to the city with a horse and wagon. \" ., The hull of the steamer which is being built by Jos.

It is expected the steamer will be ready for business by the middle of May. She will run on Shuswap Lake, the South and NorLh Thompson, and bring down ore from the Homestake mine to Kamloops. Two schemes have recently received considerable comment at New Westminster. One is to buMd a canal from Westminster by way of swampy islands, small lakes and valleys to False creek, Vancouver. It is said the cost would be comparatively small, owing to the nature ofcthe ground. Tne other is to build a tramway line from Westminster to Vancouver via Steveston. This would be ruu by steam, with three cars attached. It would go through Sappertou, past Buruaby lake, or, perhaps, by way of South Vancouver, past Jericho.

NORWAY IN KOOTENAY. Messus. Mii.i>kll and \"Uiilestad, the two Norwegians who came to look at the land of the Kootenay: llecUina- tion Company with a view to establish a settlement of their fellow countrymen there, returned to Nelson on Tuesday. Mu. Mikdi'i.l, who has had a great deal to do with Norwegian Colonies iii various parts of the world, expresses himself as being much pleased with the land in thi> Upper Kootenay and hopes to be able to buy some of it for his friends. He says too that there are many little spots he has observed about our hills were a Norwegian would gladly set tie. There are places of this kind where the frugal Norseman would make what would seem to him a good living while the average British settler would not. look at them. Mb. Miedell also spoke of the upland meadows, many of which exist in the mountains. These afford excellent summer pasturage and arc just what the Norwegians are accustomed to. On the whole the two gentlemen are much pleased with their trip and were charmed with the situation of Nelson, which they, said reminded Lheni very forcibly of their home by the JIardangei' Fiord in Norway. The similarity was further increased by the excellent Nelson beer, \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\u00BDwith which our visitors seemed especially pleased. c It appears that many colonies of Norwegians, attracted by the glitter- promises of the American Government, have from time to time Mocked to the Western States, where many of theni are at present in great destitution and misery. Hearing of the success of their friends at Bella Coola on the coast, those who are able are flocking there. It is a trait of Norwegian character that they follow each other rather than strike out new lines for themselves. It is therefore very probable that we may have several settlements of these most desirable colonists in British Columbia before long. They occupy and cultivate land that no one else would touch and they keep mainly to themselves and do not interfere with other peoples affairs. They detest mining and have a sort of instinctive idea that the whole profession is uncanny, nor have they a high opinion of the people who follow it for a living. . But at the same time' they would pi p- hably not hesitate to sell theni their milk or butter, and that is,just what we want them for, to save ns from the pain and grief of always having to eat the canned abominations that do duty for dairy produce in this district. A SPECIMEN MEMBER. \"Uncle\" Thomas McGuhevy is again seated on the Benches of the House of Commons at Ottawa. It will be remembered that the outcome of the disclosures of dishonesty on the part, of member- of the Conservative party some four years ago was the trial of this gentleman and his conviction anil sentence to a term of years iu gaol. There he hail to stop until ihe worst of tho storm blew over. But lately his friends, the present members of the Conservative Government, finding themselves pretty strong again, released the convict before his term expired on a plea of ill health.

Slates in their irresponsible liowl- iugs led her ou to expect help whence no help was ever meant to come. In connection with the Nicarnguan matter we notice' that the ''harsh conduct\" of Capt. French of the lioyal Arthur, who was appointed governor of Corinto during the occupation is alluded to. The facts were that two messengers came, apparently from the Nicaraguan govern meu t, to the Italian Consulate at Corinto. and then scut a message asking tho British Governor to wait ou them. In the language of the country this was cheek. . British Governors do uot go about at the beck and call of everybody. A British Governor in his couutry, directly represents the Queeu and yields precedence to no one except Her Majesty herself. Now we happen to be personally acquainted with Capt. French. We have known him a good many years and can vouch for his being anything but harsh. On the other hand he is the soul of good nature, a favourite in the service and everything that an officer aud a gentleman should be. KODAK AGENTS. .imal-iir Work Heveloped. IMiolntcniHliie.

Whether we are.right or wrong in estimating the amount of lead used in Canada our contemporary is completely \"off\" in its attempt tp answer our argument. To begin with it docs not matter a pin whether the amount is f-,000 or 10,000 tons, Kootenay's output will far exceed both, and the $7*JO,000 two or three times over will be spent, just the same amongst our own people. We think it a great pity that our contemporary cannot argue out; a question on fair grounds, but for lark of knowledge and sound reasons is obliged to make spiteful,remarks. The old saying, \"When you have, no case abuse the pther side'\" applies perfectly Our contemporary fails entirely-to make out a case so it sets in to abuse ourselves and the Mail. It \"says inso many words that we would rather see the men of other countries employed than our own men. Which is a palpable absurdity. The gentleman who conducts our opposition journal is generally credited with the possession .ofsonie brains. But either he did not \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\u00BDwrite the paragraph we mention himself or'else his reputation as a brainy- one falls to cpieces.. Everyone but a fool knows that abuse is hot argument. It is the last resource of the ignorant, \" the spiteful and the pigheaded. This statement is ridiculous on the face of ib. Do we not live by the district as much as he does? Do we not depend for our existence on its well doing and have we not shown over and over again that to push its interests is our one, object? To insinuate, then that we prefer to see the men of other places '\"' employed is sheer nonsense and nobody knows that better than tbe editor of the Tribune. Only he takes* his own readers for a pack of fools, which they NOTES AND COMM'EXTS. Our Rossland namesake remarks that we do not exchange with it. We have looked through our letter file and ransacked our memory and we are unable to find a letter or request of any kind requesting us to do so. It is unusual for the elder newspaper to offer to exchange, the request is usually made by the junior. We do not suppose that either the New York Herald or the London Times sent their paper- to Rossland before they were asked. The gentleman who edits the Rossland paper is, we believe, a baby brought up on the lap of a journal in whose breast the milk of human kindness is dry. He is now supposed to be able to toddle alone, and has been allowed to run a little paper let all hy himself. When he gets older he will recognize that we have been guilty of no \"discourtesy\" in not sending our paper to him. He can have it willingly if he likes and it shall be sent to him forthwith, but he should hesitate before accusing us of \"journalistic discourtesies.\" Americans as a rule are sound protectionists. Liviug as most of them do far from a seaport, quite ignorant of the prices of commodities in other countries, and accustomed from their youth to the enormous prices paid for everything in the States, they do not feel where protection pinches. It was a liberal education to those of them who came to set up busiuess establishments in lios'sland\ \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\u00BDThey actually had to pay in cold cash many hundreds of dollars on the goods they brought with them. They felt the shoe pinch. Another illustration may not be out of place. British Columbia pays SI'25,000 a month, one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars a mouth, a month mind you, not a year, more in Customs duties than she receives from the Dominion under her agreement of confederacy. A telegram from Ottawa states that, sweeping reductions in the public service will bo made and other means resorted to of reducing the expense of the Civil Service. Until Canada puts her Civil Service on the same footing as that of other civilised nations, large reductions may often have to be made involving much hardship. As long as the pets of member., of Parliament are put in over the heads of men who are already in the service, and long service and experience,go for nothing, the service cannot expect to be anything but what it is/ International Commission Co.

We are glad that our friend the Prospector took our remarks in such good part and we acknowledge the retort courteous. The expression which we are accused of using is a very common one. Is is just a little play upon words and contains ho disrespect to the Queen at all. We may have been wrong, but'we thought we delected a touch of derision at Her Majesty in our contemporary's remarks and it was that to which we took exception. The case has another'aspect. Our-friends over- the border in-their comic and other journals are forever poking fun -at their own institutions, hut it would ill become, a Britisher who might, temporarily be sojui-riing 111 Lhe Stares t.o do the same. And 11 would be bad for him too. This also applies exactly to citizens of the United States who may happen to be earning their living in pence and security under the Union Jack. It is something that we and our paper occupy so much lime and attention across the road. Last week we happened to be the fortunate recipients of a long string of advertisements from the coast. Our friend over the way would have given his eyes for them. They, are all genuine cash ad- vert'i''Fe'ment'_;~pa^^ tbe space they occupy and not spread out like posters to cover' up some unsightly old wall. Not being able to chew his quid in silence, our spiteful friend draws public attention to the fact that these are. what he calls foreign advertisements (of which he himself has few or none) and attributes it to the fact, that tin* circulation of The \"Mixi_k is iir London and Vancouver, not in l-ootenay. Now here the great panjandrum is wrong. We have a very extensive -circulation, in Kootenay. Whether il is as large as oiir contemporary's or1 not we do not know. But we know this, that Tiik Minbii is read very largely iu London and Vancouver' and other places,,where itis the means of attract ing a great'deal of public attention to the Kootenay country.

Now. we make no doubt that if a review is wanted in one of the great Eastern dailies a copy is sent marked \"with the publishers compliments\" iu the usual form. But because forsooth we pioneer journals of British Columbia do not as yet count our reader's by the tens of thousands these overbearing publishers think that they can snub us and insult us at will.
