"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 .

Telegrams passed between\nthis province and Ottawa on the matter and there were intimations given\nthat the government would fully protect the interests of the districts, but\nnothing was done on the line indicated\nand tbe smelter was erected and has\nsince been running on Canadian\nores.\nThat it was mistaken policy to refuse\nto impose the export duty and render the oporation of the Northport\nsmelter unprofitable, if not impossible, is now forced upon public attention in au impressive way.

After the transaction had been practically completed\nthe minority stock holders, hoping to\nBqueeze more money out of the corporation, began to throw obstacles in\nthe way of the consummation of the\ntransfer and the matter found its way\ninto the courts and the property passed\ninto the control of a receiver for the\nB. A. C. Subsequent proceedings reversed this decision and the receiver\nwas removed, the property reverting to\nthe former management for the Le\nRoi stockholders, who have since operated it, sending the ore to the North-\nport smelter for treatment.\nThe British America Corporation\ncontend that the property is theirs by\nright of purchase from the majority\nstockholders and tbat the minority\nstock holders, who hold some 204,000\nshares, must accept that decision, and\ntheir contention seems a good one,\nwhioh will stand in a court of law.\nNow let us glance at the sharp\nYankee tactics resorted to by the minority stockholders led by a gontleman\nknown as Col. Turner. They not only\nrepudiate the sale to the B. A. O.\nbut actually declare that they are in\nnegotiation to sell to another English syndicate at a better figure than\nwas offered by the B. A. O. Furthermore, thoy have been shipping large\nquantities of oro to the smelter at\nNorthport nnd upon this output thoy\nare going to declare a dividend from\nparticipation in wliich the Bntish\nAmerica Corporation will be excluded.\nThus the corporation, which regards\nitself as the purchaser of the proporty,\nis not only denied tho profits of its\nore, but is donied any share in the\nprofits accruing from the treatment of\nthe ore.\nAs to another piece of questionable\nwork in a line with the sharp practice\ndiscernible all through this matter,\nthe minority stockholders through\ntheir champion, the colonel aforesaid,\npoint out tbat as no alien cau hold\nmining properties in tho state of\nWashington and as the Northport\nsmelter is part of the Le Roi purchase,\nand situated in that stato, the B. A.\nC. as aliens have no rights whatever\nin the property. But, fortunately for\nthe B. A. O., the mine, the most valuable part of the property, happens to\nbe situated in Canada and there should\nbe enough law in this country to protect its citizens from rapacious foreigners who cnlmly announce their\nintention of appealing to the laws of\ntheir own state to abet tbem in their\ngame of exaction. The B. A. Corporation should let tbe Northport smelter\ngo and should fight it out over the\nmine to the end. The smelter will\nbe of no use to the colonel and his\nfriends without the mine, and as the\nlaws of the state of Washington give\nthem the smelter, let them have it.\nThe general imm-ession is that the\nB. A. Corporation's price for the property is as good a one as could bo got,\nand that the minority stockholders,\nfinding the corporation committed to\nthe transaction, are now resorting to\nunderhand means to exact a higher\nfigure. It is announced that another\nBritish syndicate has made an offer for\ntho property. This seems unlikely.\nNo British syndicate would, under\ntbo circumstances, make such an. offer.\nCapitalists are not going about looking for investments in law suits, and\nit may be taken for granted that the\nstory of persons in London l.eing\neager to buy at an advanced figure is\nscarcely probable.\nThis is uot the lirst time English\ncapitalists have got into complications\nwith American mino owners, who as\na rule, think it an evidence of\n'' smartness,'' to overreach and delude\ntho Britisher, but here is a case with\nwhich the Canadian courts will have\nto deal aud we have enough faith in\nthem to know that justice will be\ndono in the premises. It may be that\nthe smelter at Northport was built\nwhere it is to serve the purpose it is\nnow serving, furnish grounds for violating a contract, which, if honesty\nand fair-dealing were held in respect, would be carried out. If this\nsmelter must go with the mine and\nno alien can hold mining property in\nWashington, then no British or other\nforeign syndicate could get possession\nof the property. But as we understand the law of Washington state,\nwhile it prevents any alien from locating or staking a mining property iu\nthat state, there is nothing to prevent\na foreigner from acquiring a property by purchaso. Evidently the minority shareholders are making matters\nunpleasant for the B. A. C. people in\nthe belief that they will be worried\ninto acceptance of their offer, *but\nBritishers have learned a point or two\nabout mining transactions aud they\nare not so docile as they used to be in\niho hands of the schemer.\nHon. Mr. Mackintosh has the sympathy of the public in tho trying\nposition in which these complications, for which be is in no way responsible, bave placed him.\nIt is well that Emperor William\nhas decided not to visit Egypt just at\npresent. To keep their eye on Monsieur Marchand gives the British all\nthey wish to attend to just now, aud\n\ ^ARTHUR R.

THE MINER FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1898.\nA BUSY\nYmir, the Centre of a Rich\nDistrict.\nMINES SOON TO SHIP\nThe Town Beautifully Situated and Well\nSupplied With all Line3 of Eusiness.\nThePeop^ Confident'\nThe town of Ymir is situated ou\n{he Nelson & Fort Sheppard branch of\nthe Spokane Falls & Northern railway, 18 miles from Nelson. The Salmon river flows through the town and\nis joined within the townsite hy\nQuartz creek and Wild Horso creek\nflowing in from opposite directions.\nIt is the centre of a rich gold bearing\nhelt extending 20 miles from north to\nsouth and 15 miles from east to west.\nUp to a oouple of years ago but little was known of the rich district although the mineral deposits began to\nbe talked of during tho two previous\nyears and hardy prospectors hart penetrated the forest recesses along the\ncreeks in the vicinity aud blazed trails\nand tracks along the mountain sides\nas a means of communication with\none another When the Nelson & Fort\nSheppard railway was being built n\nwater tank was erected at tho mouth\nof Quartz creek, which became a landmark for the surrounding couutry and\nwas the objective point for tho prospectors in search of mineral wealth\nwhich lay hiddeu in the surrounding\nhills. A small hamlet known as Quartz\nGreek sprang up at the water tank,\nand in the spring of 1897 the railway company recognizing the importance ot the place had the towusite of\nYmir surveyed aud commenced to sell\nlots. For a couple of months lots sold\nrapidly even when covered with heavy\ngreen timber and the place speedily\ntook on the appearance of a modern\ntown. Substantial well built hotels\nand business blocks sprang up and in\na short time nearly every liue of business was well represented.\nThe town itself presents a very pleasing appearance. Surrounded on all\nsideB by hills mostly covered by green\ntimber, it nestles iu the valley of tlio\nswift flowing Salmon river, which in\nthe summer is well stocked with trout,\nfurnishing rare sport for the ingler.\nAt the pn sent timo lhe population\nof the town is iu tho neighborhood of\n1000 which is constantly increasing\nnnd there is scarcely a vacant building to be seen There are eight hotels\nsome of wliich would be a credit to\nplaces of three times the size of\nYmir. Tbere are four general stores,\nthree barber shops, a drug storo, book\nstore where all tho latest magazines\nand newspapers are kept, a brunch of\nthe Merchants' Bauk of Halifax, a\nweekly newspaper, Methodist and\nPresbyterian churches, an excellent\npublic school with 40 pupils in daily\nattendance and presided over by an\nexperienced and successful teacher, a\ndoctor, lawyer, mining brokers' offices\naud other places of business. A large\nsawmill supplied with timber from\nthe adjacent hill sides furnishes the\nmines of the vicinity with lumber and\ngives employment to a considerable\nnumber of men,.\nFor a western mining cantp Ymir is\nnoted for its orderly character. Provincial Constable W. C. Forrester looks\nafter the peace of the camp, and it is\nneedless to say that arrests aro few aud\nfar between, while A. B. Buckworth,\nJ. P., dispenses justice in an impartial manner. The weekly newspaper,\nthe Ymir Miner, has recoutly changed\nhands having been purchased by A.\nL. Knox, a newspaper man from South\nAfrica, and is well edited and well\npatronized by the local business men.\nThe future prospertiy of the town,\nof course, depends entirely upon the\ndevelopment of the mineral resources\nof the district, but sufficient work has\nbeen done on a numbor of tho properties to demonstrate their richness and\ngive the people confidence in their future. Within a short distance of the\ntown are such well known properties as\ntheYmir, Porto Rico, Dundee, Tamarac, Bullion, Jubileo, Porcupine,\nWren, Blackcock, Wilcox, Tennessee,\nElise and others, which have boen\nextensively operated upon by foreign\nand local companies with gratifying\nresults. A fnller accouut of the operations and deovlopment work being\ndono on the principal mines will bo\ngiven in future issues of tho Miner.\nAt the present time tho companies\nowning tho Porto Rico, Ymir and\nDundee miues aro pushing forward\nas rapidly as possible the erection of\nstamp mills aud concentrators at their\nrespective properties aud in a short\ntime will be regular shipping mines.\nDevelopment work ou theso properties\nhas disclosed large blocks of high grade\nore, which when shipped and smelter\nreturns are reoeived will add greatly to\nthe reputation of the camp. With a\nview to attracting the attention of\ncapitalists to the district, a collection\nof 86 samples from properties in the\nvicinity was collected and sent to the\nfruit fair at Spokane in chargo of D.\nA. Cameron. The samples wore made\nrepresentative of the district and the\nexhibit is expected to produce beneficial results. The people of Ymir\ninvito the attention of caDitalists to\nthe resources of that region feeling\nconfident that the possibilities of the\ndistrict have ouly to be known to be\nappreciated.\nA CLEVER CAPTURE.\nBrown the Murderer of Constable\nToohey at London, in the Toils.\nMarion Brown, alias Thomas Alleu.\nthe wooden legged colored Texas\ntramp, who murdered Constable Michael Toohey near London Ont., last\nJune and who for three months evaded the consequences of his brutal crime\nwas captured at Victoria, B. C, on\nMonday evening and is now being\nhurried across the continent to the\nscene of the traeedy to stand his trial\nfor murder before a Canadian court of\njustice. The details of the crime\naroused the indignation of the people\nof Ontario and not only was a strict\nsearch made for Brown but a reward\nof $500 was offerod for his capture. The\npolice departments iu all the cities\nof Canada and the United States wero\ngiven descriptions'\" of ihe murderer\nand were asked to be on the watch\nfor him. Brown drifted into North\nYakima, iu Washington state a few\nweeks ago and was shortly afterwards\nspoted by U. S. Marshall A. L. Dilly.\nThe London polico wero notified and\ndetective Mickel came west to\nidentify Brown. In order to got tho\ndesperado upon Canadian soil without\nresorting to extradition, a daring mso\nwas resorted to. The detootive got\nvery familiar with Brown and gave\nhim a \"confidential tip\" that tho police wore after him for the murdor of\na marshail at Georgetown, Texas.\nBrown fell into the trap and acepted a\nsuggestion that he seek safety ou the\nCanadian side of the hue. As soon\nas ho was safely on board the boat at\nSeattle, bound for Victoria, the police\ne.t Ihe latter placo were uotified and\non his arrival promptly arrested him.\nBrowu is described as one of the\nmost desperate criminals among the-\ngreat army of tramps, but it is not\nprobable that he will ever again have\nthe opportunity of adding to his already long list of crimes. In order to\nprevent his escape from the train,\nthe officers who have him in charge\nhave taken away his wooden leg.\nHARVEST\" THANKSGIVING.\nHarvest Thanksgiving services will\nbo held in the English church on\nSunday next as follows: Holy Communion at 8 a. m.
