"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 .

Committees representing the radical left, the\nextreme radicals and the progressives\nmet and agreed to support the order of\nthe day, affirming tne resolution of\nthe chamber to make respected, un -\nder all circumstances, the supremacy\nof civil power, and to adjourn the\ndiscussion of tho interpellations until\nThursday.

He was greeted with\nhostile shouts, including \"Forgery\"\nand \"Razor\" which caused a great\nuproar.

Later this\nshowed that the government had been\ndefeated.\nAfter the scrutiny had been announced, M. Berteaux moved a vote of\nconfidence in M. Brisson, which was\nrejected by 286 votes to 254.

When accepting the resignation of the ministry, M. Faure begged\nM. Brisson and his colleagues to con\ntinue to act until the formation of\nthe new cabiuet.\nAfter the adjournment of the chamber there was intense excitement fol\nlowed by a street demonstration, principally maintained by the auti-sem-\nites, led by M Drumout, in the vicinity of the offices of the Libre Parole\nand other anti-Dreyfus papers. At\nmany points the boulevards soon became impassable and there wore numerous collisions between the demonstrators and the police. Only with the\nutmost difficulty was a semblance of\norder preserved and in many cases, it\nwas necessary for the cuirassiers to\nclear the streets.\nTho French cabinet which has just\nresigned was definitely formed on June\n28 of the present year and was constituted as follows: President of the\ncouncil nnd minister of the interior,\nHenri Brisson; minister of fiuance,\nM.

It is\nnot for the mayor or any other official\nof the city to give relief and then go\nto the council and say, I gave so-and-\nso such a sum and I want it back.\nThat is not business and the practice\nshould be put a stop to. If there are\nindigents in the city needing relief\nthe question as to what form the relief\nshall take should be a matter for settlement by the council. That body is\nresponsible to the people and it should\nsay how the public money should be expended. If the mayor wishes to dispense charity privately that is his\nown affair, but when he pays out\nmoney to relieve alleged distress and\nlooks to the. city to repay him he\ntakes upon himself power that he does\nnot possess by statute or by right of\noffice. He should submit such cases\nto the consideration of bis colleagues\nand they should decide what measures of relief to adopt. This one man\nrule in a city such as Nelson, has allowed great evils to creep into the administration of public affairs and it is\ntime the citizens aroused themselves\nto a situation fraught with much dan\nger to their interests.\nThis city has become too great and\ninfluential to suffer the system of\nmunicipal government with which it*\nhaa been inflicted t,< endure much\nlougor.

It was well to\nthrow this measure of protection\naround the administrator. No one puts\nany faith in the utterances of the par\ntisan party press either when it ac-\ncusefor defends, and the estimation in\nwhich it is held is shown by the instruction given to Mr. Ogilvie. The\nparty press has destroyed its influence.\nTRUSTWORTHY OFFICIALS.\nEastern paper3, entirely ignorant of\nBritish Columbian methods, have expressed doubts aa to whether the Yukon region, should it pass uuder the\ncontrol of tlio British Columbian government, would be administered any\nbettor than it has been under control of\ntho Dominion government. It ia the\ngeneral opinion hereabouts that it\nwould. In the lirst place gold commissioners, recorders aud officials connected with the mining department are\nforbidden to ^locate or own mining\nclaims or to become connected with\nany mining project, and in the second\nplaco thero have never been charges\nmade against government officials in\nBritish Columbia such as have been\nmade against thoso of the Yukon previous to the appointment of Mr.\nOgilvie.

When governments can increase\nby one grain the production of wheat\nto the acre thon it will be time enough\nto find in them attributes of a far\nhigher source.

Finch,\nis probably the star property of the\ndistrict so far. This mine which is\"\nabout 18 miles up the north fork from\nErie, is being developed by threo tunnels, connected by winzes, and over\n1200 feet of tunnelling has been done.\nThe ore is a copper sulphide in a\nquartz gangue, running high in gold.\nThe average gold values of the lead,\nwhich is of an \"average width of 34\ninches for 1200 feet, are $50 per ton.\nAbout half of the gold can be recovered by milling, aud it is intended to\nerect a stamp mill on the property, and\nship the tailings to the smelter.\nThere are about 1500 tons of this ore\non tlie dump ready for shipment,\nwhich will be hauled to tho railroad as\nsoon as the snow falls. A wagon road\n1!) miles in length hns recently been\nconstructed from Erie to the mine at\na cost of $16,000, $11,000 of which was\ncontributed by the government, the remainder of the expense being borne\nby the owners of the mine.\nThe Arlington which is also on the\nnorth fork of the Salmon river and\nabout three miles from Erie, belongs to\nthe Dewdney syndicate, nnd is being\ndeveloped by two shafts, which are\nnow down about 150 feet. There nre\nfive feot of ore at the bottom of the\nshnffs oarrying average gold values of\ni?7 per ton. The oompany hns installed a complete outfit of maohinery,\nincluding a steam hoist, pumps and\nother necessary appliances, They nre\nnow working three eight horn shifts,\nnnil tho mine will ship oro as soon\nas the snow comes. Tho oro in this\nproperty is peculiarly ampnable fo\ntreatment, by the cyanide process,\naud it is tho intention of the management to install a cyanide plant in the\nspring.\nAnother promising property in the\nneighborhood is tho North Fork, about\n0 miles from Erie. On this property,\nwhioh belongs to Messrs. Gilliam and\nBenn, nbout $1000 has been expended,\nchiefly in surface work such ns striping the vein and running open cuts.\nTwo feet of shipping ore have been disclosed in the vein, and a large numbor\not assiys havo been made which run\nfrom $14 to $115 per tou. The ore average about seven per cent, copper besides gold values.\nThe other properties mentioned are\nalso being assiduously worked with\nencouraging results.\nTHE RUTLAND RAILWAY.\nMontpelier, Vt., Oct. 25.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA bill\nwas introduced in the legislature this\nafternoon which has for its object the\nincorporation of the Rutland Canadian\nrailroad company, which has a capital\nstock of $1,000,000 divided into 10,000\nshares, the capital to bo increased or\ndecreased at the will of the stockholders. Tho bill is to become void unless\nwork is begun on the road within two\nyears. Tho railroad according to\nthose seeking incorporation, will mil\nfrom Burlington along the lake\nshoro to the Canadian line,and connect\nwith tho Canada Atlantic railway at\nAlburg.\nThe Sum of $986 Raised Among Railway Employes.\nLast summer a Swede named\nCharles Johnson employed on the\nj construction contract of W. H. Arm-\n| strong on the Crow's Nest Pass railway lost his eyesight through an accident caused by a premature blast.\nMr. Armstrong gave him $1C0 to go\nto Spokane for treatment but as nothing conld be done for him there he returned to Nelson and wns for a considerable time in the Kootenay Lake\nGeneral hospital. A few weeks ago\nMr. Armstrong suggested that he go\nalong the route of the Robson Penticton railway and solicit subscriptions\niu order to start him in some line of\nbusiness, heading the subscription list\nwith $100. Mr. G. L. Lennox secured\nthe services of Mr. 15. Carrick to accompany the blind man and Mr. Armstrong gave him $50 for expenses of\nthe trip.\nThe proceeds of the trip amounted\nto $0H6, which sum was handed over\nby Mr. Carrick to the police magistrate at Grand Forks, on their arrival\nin that town. The response of the\nmen employed along the line of construction to the appoal of their fellow\nworkman was very generous and the\nmoney so raised will be devoted to the\npurpose for which it was intended.\nELECTION PETITIONS IN COURT.\nVictoria, Oct. 25.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThis morning\nthe motions to strike ont the Victoria,\nComox and North Nanaimo petitions\ncame before Judge Martin in chambers. The points raised were the\nsame as those in the Esquimalt caso\nnow under consideration, except that\nin these cases the $2000 security wns\ndeposited with the registrar of the\ncourt. Mr. Cassidy argued that under the rules this money should have\nbeen deposited in the Bank of England. His lordship refused to uphold\nthat objection and decision on the\nother points was reserved.\nTHE PAYNE MINE.\nSlocan Property That Has\nMillions in Dividends.\nPaid\nFor nearly two years past the Payne\nmine near Sandon has shipped an\naverage of 58 tons of its valuable ore\ndaily. After deducting freight, duty\nand smelter charges this nets the\nowners over $S0 por ton or $4640 per\nday. There are now employed ;at the\nmine about 125 meu and it is a liberal\naverage to allow the wages paid to be\n$4 per day or $500 for the whole force.\nFrom this it will be seen that the\nmine is paying a'profit of $4140 per\nday, including Sundays and holidays.\nTaking the diily net iucome as a\nbasis, it will bo seen that the mine is\nyielding a profit of nearly $125,1)00\nmonthly or about $1,500,000 annually.\nThe report of the department of mines\nfor the year 1897, stated, as published\nin The Miner, that the mine had paid\niu dividends up to December 81, the\nsum of $1,800,000.
