"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. publications and revelations which so quickly\nfollowed the death of the prince have\nnaturally creatod a sensation and dei p\nauger in government circles, and there\nis still greator surprise and presentment at the attitude of the Bismarck\nfamily. Tlie emperor left nothing\nundone that could testify to his personal grief or his sense of the greatness\nof the. loss to Germany. His proclamation addressed to tlie Imperial\nchancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, has\ngiven high satisfaction throughout\nthe country, and it is generally admitted that no little magnanimity\nwas required to enable his majesty to\npersevere with unruffled serenity in the\nface of the evident snllonness of tbe\nfamily. Ho devised tho most splendid\npublic honors for tho deceased statesman and whon his offer to place the\nlatter's remains besido bis grandfather's were rofnsed, the emperor\ncarried out what was uossiblo in the\nshape of a public funeral, regardless of\nthe absence of any Bismarcks.\nThe Vossiehe Zeitung referring to\nthe matter says: \"We do not wish\nto pass judgment, and only chronicle\nfacts.

It cannot be but* that tho nation\nwill have drawn delinite inferences\nfrom these facts,but it was not against\ntlio emperor alone thai tho Bismarck\nfamily thus acted. Tho reigning\nGerman prince and the nation wore\nprevented from taking and part in\nthe funeral. Tho grand Duko of Saxe-\nWeimar and tho grand Dukes of Hesse\naud Oldenburg, Prince Herbert wired\nto stay away. Even Prince Hohenlohe, although a personal friend of the\ndeceased and whose coming had boon\nheralded in time was not allowed to\nseo the body. The. coffin was soldered\ndown 16 minutes before his arrival,\nto the intense sorrow of tho aged chancellor. Persons who were present at the\nhouse at the time affirm that Prince\nHerbert issued orders to solder tho\ncoffin as soon as the telegram from the\nemperor arrived annonnciug his majesty's coming to Friederichsrhuhe.\nA number of German people assume\nthat this strange behavior was partly\nduo to the fact that there was at tlie\nbouse a number of highly important\nand sensational papers, mostly letters\nto Pri noo Bismarck, and there was a\nfear that* theso might be stolen in the\nbustle and turmoil occasioned by tho\ncrowds of visitors.

It\nmeans, broadly speaking, that no intoxicating liquor shall be sold save in\ncases of medical necessity. Tbis proviso must invariably bo made, dnd\nvery frequently affords tho opportunity\nfor which intending law breakers are\nwatching. Thero are somo states in\nthe union in which the salo of liquor\nis prohibited, but nobody finds any\nserious difficulty in obtaining all tho\nwhisky ho wants at a druggist's, which\ncan subsequently be consumed at homo\nat* leisure.\nIn the Northwest Territories prohibition was given a trial, tho rigour of\ntho law being tempered by a system\nof permits. Permits could bo obtained\nfrom the lieutenant-governor by any\none who could obtain a decent recommendation, on the payment of a small\nfee, and the roceiver of the permit was\nthen allowod to import a stated quantity of liquor for bis own uso. This\nsystem, however, was abused, and it\nfailed to check the abuse of alcohol.\nIn fact, whilo most desirable in\ntheory, no system has yet, so far as\nwe know, beon devised whereby the\nabuse of liquor can be effectually\nchecked without unduly infringing on\nthe liberty of the subject.\nHere lies the whole difficulty. Such\na measure to be effective, must be extremely rigorous, and it is doubtful\nwhothor the people will submit to a\nlaw of such soverity, and cven'i if\nenacted whother it could bo enforced.\nTho Rev. Principal Grant, a woll\nknown and earnest temperance reformer, has placed himself on record as\nstating that in his opinion such restrictive legislation is of no avail, and\non tho other hand thero are other\nequally eminent authorities wlio\nstrongly boliovo in its efficacy. The\nwhole question is one of extreme\ndifficulty, and ono in which every man\nmust decide and act for himself.\nAs will be seen from our despatches\ntoday, the arrangements iu connection\nwith the lato Prince Bismarck's funeral have created a considerable\namount of displeasure and disappoint\nmont in Germany. Tlio exact reason\nwhy Emperor William dismissed his\nfather's veteran counsellor is not, and\nperhaps never will be, accurately\nknown, though it was tolerably clear\nthat there had been a conflict betweeu\ntwro imperious wills in which Prince\nBismarck, for tlio first time in his\nlife, was defeated, and had consequently to retire from the arena of\npolitical strife. Tho aged chancellor\nnever forgot this, and, as his last instructions showed, he never forgave it,\nbut wont down to his grave hugging\nhis animosity. The emperor, ou the\nother hand, has shown great magnanimity. During the lifo time ot the\nprince he passed over puttorauces that\nwould have been tolerated in no one\nelse, and now that bo bas passed away\nho has not allowed either a most deliberate slight or liis own fiery temper\nto turn him from his purpose of doing\nall possible honor to the memory of\nthe great German statesman.\nIfcTIEW * G-OOIDS\nHair Brushes, Tooth Brushes,\nand Cloth Brushes,\n,pn\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .. also Good Value in Soon tres. _.9-*txtib.\nW.

P. Beer.\nTho Charlottetown, P. E. I., Guardian of July contains tbe following\nnotice of a gentleman who is interested\nlargely in Nelsou real estate and who\nwith his family intends to tako up his\nfuture residence in Nelson :\n\"Mr. G. P. Boor aud Mrs. Beer\nloave tbis morning for Nelson, B. C.,\nwhere they will make their future\nhome. The firm of Beer Bros, which\nlias now passed into other hands began business in Charlottotowu in\n1875 aud soon took its place as one of\nthe leading dry goods establishments\nof the Maritime Provinco. In their\nbusiness they havo employed a staff of\nclerks among tlio largest of any dry\ngoods firm in tbo city. Owing largely\nto the thorough business training\nwliich they received many of these\nclerks now hold lucrative positions in\nthe west. Others havo successfully\nembarked in business for themselves,\nwhilo in Messrs. Beer Bros, storo are\nclerks wlio bave beeu employed thero\ncontinually during tho past twelve\nyears,\n\"Messrs. W. Vi. Boer and G. P.\nBeer have been among otir most progressive merchants and the firm namo\nof Beer Bros, has always been synou-\nmous witli justice and honor. Their\nbusiness relations have never been\ntarnished with a suspicion of shadowy\ntransactions and now as they retire\nfrom the mercantile arena they have\nthe rcspoct aud best wishes of all.\nTliis is due in a great measure to tho\nfact that no carping spirit has been\ntheir's,(but believing in healthy, open\ncompetition they wero in close friendship with the other merchants of Charlottetown.\n\"After many years of friendly business together tlieir departure from the\ncity is generally regretted by the\nother firms while the separation botween the proprietors and their large\nstaff of clerks is keenly felt by both.\nIn tho departure of Mr. G. P. Beer\nthis morning Charlottetown loses one\nof her most progressive citizens\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa\nman whoso voice advanced the moral\naud religious interests of the city.\nHe never shirked his duty and his\ndeparture is a distinct loss to the\nadvancement of Charlottetown. In\nparting with Mrs. Boor the city loses\none who has taken a foremost position\nin tho social circle, and her hosts of\nfriends in Charlottetown will regret\nthis loss of a general favorite.\n\"Tho senior partner, Mr. W. W.\nBeer, will leave in about six weeks\nfor the west.\n'' Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Beer were\nwaited upon Saturday night and presented with the following address,\nwhich although numerously signed by\nprominent citizens would havo had\nmany more signatures had not a number of citizens been absent from tlieir\nhomes and places of business:\nG. P. Boer, Esq.,\nDear Fellow Citizen.\nHaving learned that it is your intention to remove from amongst us aud\nmako tho distant wost your future\nhome, wo hasten to express our deepost\nregret as citizens of Charlottetown\nthat wo should thus be doprivod of\nono whoso influence for good has done\nso much for the moral and commercial\ninterests of this city. Descended as\nyou are from honorable christian\nparentage we aro only too well pleased\nto recognize in you those characteristics which go to mako up a good citizen, and nothing that we could add\nwould be too flattering in order to\na largo\ndock and adding to the fortifications.\nThe noxt step is disclosed in an announcement in a recent issue of the\nNews Advertiser that a committee of experts is about to examino the frontiers\nand soa boards of Canada with a view\nto works of defenco. The committee consists of Colonols Leach, Dalton and\nCaptain White. R. N. of tho imperial\nservice, whilo Colonels Lake and Avl-\n'' May your futuro home bo as pleasant\nj and sunny as tbe past.

The ore is similar to that of\nthe great Treadwell mine. Mr. Perkins\nwas appointed by the Skagway board\nof trado to represent tbem in Juneau\nfor a timo during the winter to warn\nincoming travelers of the impassibility\nof tho Stikine, Taku and other routes.\nConsiderable good work was done\nin this manner and many people wero\nsaved from the hardships of these\nroutes. Ho made a trip to Lako\nBennett over tlie White pass and travelled around Lako Linderiiian to Lind-\nernian city and from there returned\nto Dyon via the Ohilcoot pass, going\nover the big slide where so many\npeoplo were killed last March. Thero\nwas still a large amount of snow and\nico ou the pass on July 2nd.\nOu tho trip over White pass Mr.\nPerkins says there are over 401)0 horses\nlying dead, with paeksaddles and\nother paraphonalia still strapped to\nthem. Yukon sleds, dog teams, pieces\nof boats aud remnants of Klondike\noutfits aro to be found strewn all\nalong tbe trail. The boat at this time\nof the year is very inteuso aud tho\nnumbers of dead animals make the\ntrip not an altogether pleasant one.\nIt was estimated tbat* about 10.000\npeoplo wintered in Skagway and that\npeople ou the trail to Lako Bennett\ncould clasp hands and form an unbroken chain from Skagway to that\nlake. The present population of Skagway is about 8600, most of tbo people\nhaving gone to Dawson and other\nplaces.\nMr. Perkins says that the reported\nsickness was very much exaggerated.\nA few cases of spinal meningitis aud\npneumonia was tho only sickness and\nit wos'always brought on by carelessness\nand exposure. He says that the doath\nrato from Skagway's earliest days,\nfrom all causes, up to July ii, did not\nexceed 50 peoplo.\nA railway is in course of construction from Skagway to Lake Bennett.\nAbout 1100 men are at present working\non the road aud the company arc advertising for 1500 more. Eleven\nmiles of road are already completed\nout of Skagway. The wages on the\nwork is SO cents per hour for laborers\nand board is $1 and a hospital fee of\nfive cents a day is charged.\nThere aro about half a dozen steamboats plying between Dawson City and\nWhito Horse rapids. A portago of\nfour miles is made over tho rapids to\nconnect with boats running up Lako\nBennett to Bennett City, whero tho\nWhite pass trail connects with the lake.\nTho fare from Bennett City to Dawson\nis $75 and $50, and $25 a ton is charged\nfor freight The boats are loaded to\ntheir utmost capacity every trip.\nCraft of every imaginable kind aro\nto be found plying on Luke Bennett\naud tlie lako is alive with boats\nheading for Dawson City.\nThe sporting element was very much\nin evidence in Sakgway last winter.\nThe saloons and gambling houses are\nfurnished in splendor equal to anything on tho Pacific coast. There are\nabout 35 or IiO of them at that place.\nSkagway is lighted by electricity,\nlias a good water system and is\nthoroughly modern iu many respects.\nSkagway at present, outside of Dawson has the largest population of any\ncity in tho north. Mr. Perkins left\nSkagway on July !1 on (he steamer\nFaralon, Thero were on the boat lli\npeople from interior points, ono of\nwhom bad (1600, whioh he claimed\nhe had made running dog teams, and\nthe others had just enough to pay\ntheir fare. They reported that there\nwero thousands of people in tbo same\nfix as themselves and that tlieir only\naim was to got enough money to take\nthem out of the country.\nThe steamer arrived in Seattle on\nlhe 7th of July, and on the following\nd.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDy some of the papers had accounts\nof theso travellers and stated that they\nhad brought down f 1(10,000 in gold\ndust, which he states was entirely\nwrong as there was no such an amount\naboard. Alaska is at present enjoying\na continual day and camera fiends\nwero taking snap shots at 12 midnight\nwhen he left Skagway.\nSpain Still Delays-The Marin Teresa\nto Be Raised\nWashington, August 6.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDJust a week\nago todny Ambassador Cambon received from the president tbe terms of\npeace tbat would be granted by the\nI'nited States.
