"The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited 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. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune."@en . ""@en . "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0188435/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

It is .really becoming a\n\"fad\" and a happy one it is.\nThere is no man, woman or child with,\nout faith that he or she knows something\nof the gracious art of cooking. If they\nonly have a chance to sprinkle the red\npepper into the delicious viands it is\nenough.to say ..that they have had a finger\nin the pie. A number of women this wiu-\nter have been reading that immensely\nclever book called the \"Women of\" the\nFrench Salon,\" in which so much space is I\ngiven to the delights of the \"Bel Esprit.\"\nThe serving of something dainty from\nthe chafing dish is bound to call out not\noulya fund of good humo rbut numerous\nquotations and general good fellowship\nthat most all dinner parties lack.

While returning\nfrom the interior with his cattle he stayed\nfor a few days, in order to recuperate, at\na large farm on the banks of the Orange\nriver, owned by aBber named Schalk van\nNickerk. A peculiar stone had been\npicked up some time previously by a\nBushmau.boy. O'Reilly bought it for a\ntrifle out of curiosity, not knowing himself what it was, and look it with'him to\na town called Colesburg and handed it to\nthe resident civil commissioner, who in\nturn forwarded it to Dr. Atherstone in\nGraham's Town, Cape Colony. This gentleman after careful examination, pro;\nnounced it a veritable diamond,21i carats\nin weight, and worth \u00C2\u00A35000. It was subsequently purchased for this price by the\ngovernor \"of the colony, Sir P. Wodehouse.\nWhen the find became known a search\nfor diamonds was instituted throughout\nthe Hope Town district, but it was not\nuntil 1S09 that the existence of\ndiamonds in paying quantities was proved\nbeyond a doubt. Then a great rush of\ndiggers from all parts of the globe; was\nmade to the Orange river and its vicinity.\n'. In the latter part of 1870 a lot of miners\"\nwho had gained valuable experience in\nCalifornia and Australia discovered a\nmine about 100 miles\" due north of Hope\nTown, nearly 1000 miles from Cape Town,\nwhich they uamed after the then British\ncolonial secretary, the Earl of Kimberley.\nThe yield of diamonds from 'this big excavation since the opening of the mine in\n1S71 probably exceeds eight tons weight\nof precious stones, in value about \u00C2\u00A345,000,-\n000. The finest diamond ever found in\nSouth Africa was th\u00C2\u00AB famous Porter\nRhodes^ discovered near the -centre of\nKimberleymiue, on February 12th,c 18S0.\nIt is a pure white octahodrou, vveighing\n150 caratsandyalued at \u00C2\u00A350,000. A splendid; yellow betahodron was found ; on\nMarch, 27th,'188., at the east end of the\nmine.:; It/weighed 302carats;:;.Thelargest\nderg\"o imprisbnurent with hard labor for a term not exceeding\nten years. The receiver or illicit diamond\nbuyer upon conviction received a maximum sentence of 15 years' imprisonment\nat hard labor, the first one-fifth of the\nterm to be spent in isolation and in\nchains, and he was also liable to a fine not\nexceeding 3000 dollars as well as confiscation of all real and personal property\nwhich he held at the time of his arrest\nwithin the diamond mining area.

So far, Vancouver* Kamloops,\nVernon and Revelstoke have been visited,\nand.in each place the movement has been\nreceived most favorably, more especially\niu Revelstoke. The system, ifc may be explained, is an adaptation of university\nextension in Great Britain which has\nbeen so successful, the difference being\nthat the instruction is furnished in the\nform of a pouibo syllabus, issued\nmonthly to members, twelve numbers constituting a year's course.\nThe courses so far arranged are universal\nhistory, universal literature, religion and\ntheology, political economy, astronomy\nand geology, with others to follow. The\nsubjects are so treated by the professors,\nwho are recognized authorities, as to provide the student with a libera! and comprehensive knowledge without burdening\nhim with useless and unimportant details;.\nand in addition a large number of the\nbest and standard authorities are quoted\nto supplement the text of the lessons,\nthus practically providing a. library of\nreference.

For a can of condensed milk, is; for a loaf of bread, 2s (3d.;\nfor a pound of sugar, Is; and for a glass of\nwhiskey, 3s. The only food which is cheap\nis goat's meat, which must be consumed a\nfew hours after slaughter, owing to the\nhot African sun and the utter absence of\nice., This meat can be purchased as live\nstock from the constantly traveling Kaffir-\nherds for about lid a pound. The climate\nis fairly healthy for Europeans, and especially beneficial for pulmonary weaknesses. Female society is out of the question, as far as white women are concerned. From the discovery of diamonds\nin South Africa until the present day one\ngreat obstacle the diggers have had always to contend with has been the enormous loss annually of rough diamonds\nstolen by the native Kaffir laborers while\nat work in the claims or on the depositing\nfloors. These_ thefts reached such enormous proportions and the diamonds found\nsuch ready market among, the unscrupulous element of the white population,\nthat it became necessary to enact special\nlaws to cope with the evil.

The London (Ontario) Free Press,\ncommenting on this point, declares that a\ndoctor in Philadelphia some years ago experimented upon his family of young\ndaughters, with the result that they continued in good health upon seven cents a\nday, being one and a half cents' worth of\nluxuries more than are given to Toronto\njail birds.\nMax O'Rell in a late essay breaks out in\na mild fury.over a sample of hotel feeding\nof which he was a witness.

Like\nthe great Elizabeth of England she 'was,\nsensitive about her personal appearance,\nand regretted the ravages of time to more\nthan the Ordinary degree. Her passion\nfor violent riding, and long, very quick\nwalks was connected with her great\ndread of becoming stout. She had\nbrought on her recent ill-health by the\nrigidity with which she dieted herself in\norder to avoid adding to her weight. Although she Was rather tall, she made it a\npoint of weighing less than seven stone,\nand would practically starve herself for\nsome time if she turned the scales of the\nweighing machine, that always stood in\nher bedroom, at anything beyond that\nfigure. This, in her case, had produced\nthe anaemia that was the direct cause of\nthe disorder of the heart for which she\nhad lately been treated. The warning\nshould be taken to heart; while exercise\nand judicious, careful diet can do a great\ndeal towards keeping down superfluous\nflesh, the starving treatment is very dangerous, and any sort of dieting should\nonly be undertaken with medical supervision, not in tho first place, but throughout its course.\nThe Winnipeg Bonspiel.\nWinnipeg, Feb. 15.-\u00E2\u0080\u0094AU the bonspiel\nfinals were concluded yesterday, except\nthe Walkerville event, which is left for\nthree Wiunipeg skips to arbitrate.

Some very high assays\nhave been had from the cropprngs on the\nPrincess, and a former owner ran a tunnel in 190 feet to get depth on a very good\nsurface showing. The tunnel was swung\naway from the showing, however, and\nwhere it cut the lead it was comparatively barren. The work that Nelson ha9\nin hand is the running of a drift on the\nlead from the point of intersection in the\ntunnel for the purpose of getting under\nthe surface showing., This it is expected\nto do in at least 50 feet, which will give a\ndepth of 100 feet. In the 25 feet which\nhave been driven so far a considerable\nimprovement has been noticed in tlie\nlead, considerable bunches of ore coming\nin. The Princess ore carries copper and\ncold values, assay returns of $70 having\nbeen secured from the croppings.\nDeveloping the King of Forty-Nine.\n\"Jeff\" Steele,,, who is developing the\nledge on the King of Forty-nine, on\nForty-nine creek, is meeting with every\nencouragement. He is sinking a 50-foot\nshaft on what he considers the hanging -\nwall pf a; 12-foot ledge, which crops out\non the'.claim. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 There is' a stringer of ore\non the hanging wall about 20 inches wide\nand the rest of the shaft is full of ledge\nmatter which is very \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 much broken up.\nSteele is of the opinion that' by- the time\nhe sinks 50 feetjhe will catch the foofcwall\nand that the ledge is in place and that it .\nwill be filled with quartz which crops out\nin several places on the claim. The ledge -\nmatter taken from the shaft assays well. -\nA mill test ou 30 pounds gave a return of\n$ld.20, of which $3.70 was\" gold and the\nrest copper. - \t\nThe Homestake Development.\nAcross the creek from tlie.Kingof Forty-\nnine, J.

FEBRUARY 1 1893 If the result of, the election yesterday means anything, it means that the people of this section of Kootenay do not want to see the old Turner crowd returned to power ; and the people of this section of the district but voice the opinions of the people of other sections of Kootenay. The prestige of holding a portfolio counted for something in the contest, but apart from that was the fact that principles were at stake\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe principles that the peoole of Kootenay have been fighting for i'or close on to ten years. The government of which Mr. Hume is a member .tands pledged to'these principles, and that they will be inserted in the laws of the province is not to be doubted. The personality of the candidates had, little, in fact nothing, to do with bringing about the result. Roth were well known to the old time element, but were alike strangers to three-fourths of the people who have come to the riding in the last two years. The result of yesterday's election is very satisfactory to the people irr Nelson. They believe that the Semlin government should be given a fair trial. .

A Young Man Who Took a Fatal Chance In a Game of Poker. \"1 was dealing a game out of the box in Kansas City in '84 when a man killed hini- felf in tho upstairs part of the establishment,\" sard a man with short gray hair and a pair of piercing eyes. \"I was the first man upstairs after the shot was fired, and when I looked the man over I remembered him as a young chap of rather dissolute habits who had struck Kansas City with apparently plenty of money only a few weeks before. There were five or six four-handed poker games running in the room. I asked the three men\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcattlemen from Kansas, they were \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhat had ailed their table-mate.

It's a queer enough game to get me going.' \" 'A jack-pot, you say ?' I inquired. Who won?' \" 'The men looked at one another. They didn't know. The young fellow had put the ball in his head before the pot was decided. They looked at their hands that they had thrown down when the young man had shot himself. One of them had tens up on nines, that he had had on the go-in. Another had a pair of queens, also on the go-in, and the last of the three Wilson & Harshaw DRAYING and EXPRESS had drawn to an ace and failed to connect. Theu I turned over the suicide's cards, that he had laid down neatly before reaching for his gun. Tnere were a pair of sixes, an eight, a tray and a king. I showed the cards to the three men. They understood. \" 'The ombrey needn't have killed himself over it,' said one of them. 'He might have got thrown out of the window and his pile confiscated, but he wouldn't have got killed.' \"The young fellow had taken a big win- out chance in a moment of desperation by opening a jack-pot without holding the openers, and when it failed to go through he was afraid of the consequences or crazy or something, aud so he just let gaslight into his head, which, for all the men who had been playing with him said^ would unquestionably have happened to him when they discovered that he had opened the jack without openers.

It is understood that the Liberal leaders of Nelson are so elated over the result of the election yesterday that they are determined to have a newspaper organ. They claim that there is not a single iiewspaper in Kootenay that can be classed as an out-and-out supporter of the Liberal party. The Miner is the paper they are counting on getting. It has changed its principles so often, that I another flop would not be noticed. Then, it is managed by men who were, born and bred in the Liberal faith, and that counts for something. John Ay ton Gibson will be the business manager of the new venture, if it comes to ahead, and William Austin Jowett ia slated for tlie political editorship. Premier Semlin should feel flattered over the result of the election yesterday - in Nelson riding.

Before it stretched, high, rustling, and of tawny gold in the September sunshine, a field of corn. Around it was grassless patch of baked prairie sod. It seems ridiculous to state that the house was in the town of Bubble, or in any town for that matter. The railroad had just been built through southern Nebraska, and the new towns that sprung up along its line were absurdly indefinite places. The\" depot had been erected in the midst of a cleared cornfield. The lumber piled in the street had been hauled 30 miles to build the general store. The hotel was a barn, where flapping canvas, in lieu of partitions of lath aud plaster separated the sleeping places of guests. The bank had found a local habitation on the spot where a wilderness of sunflowers had for '-uncounted- years stubbornly flourished. So the little log house that had been raised in the time when blankets were hung over windows in the winter - nights to hide the betraying light from bands of roving and: relentless Indians, ,* >f\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDi\ ddenl y;s fou u d,;-A tsel f j dh cor por a ted^i n-. *3a& \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' '^towh^th&'town^bE^ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>7~4?l \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.' ; %\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>a\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThemouse \vas*Thompsou'sa!The family,' .xVjConsisted\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDoi thejfatherJimotheivand child-- ?T< reu^gpod^ness4,* knpw^s^how>many.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD jLtttla <.fBare;iegged;-> brown-skinned8,!\"*Tbllickitfe I;-\"youngsters' they, iwjarptfi-phan \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"JbherLe>was; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD^'*\"tl^e V^log\".\" t/^jrch^rV^h ^/Ishdulaer-ed^^^ \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.j- b\"east:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>e 3fti^t?\Vjhk\"t\": pecriljai^bi-eedjlie^af,?;' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfe;wKri_5afree\".t\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDy7distiiiguisried^him,\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwlja^ s\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-\"-pedigrees rurgh-<>hrtyJ6\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDjbJe_nv_IairriecrV for ^ >\"^lnSf_uat? eved.y \"I tzis\" ltd ybe\" \"do;uB\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfed:|tl) /ti s \"^he*childre*mcWuld*have**lov\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDe .^.iinderauycombination^OK-eulogistic'ad-*\" >\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-/j:eetive.s;tlia^vmigh;t\"b\"e:cm V^ajijilfedf^ ^^on^lfairiyssprinfe.rii .\" /\>'lBstwar;d.:* The'^ogfliadi\" bjaen: adptf.ed' \"tfry?\".'thef\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD T&piiipson's:,^ vfcijfl\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDleast\"H-tjeys \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"*thdugli\"t>\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"they \"had adopted hi_uV\"BIn truth, /^h'e.ihad^.adopted\" ;,them,:whichjwas-\" reallyi \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsTu\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDf6rne^ flaftj_.riiig\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD if-th!pyj,p\"nly*!kn\"e^?it^ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"For\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD '-\" fih1_^djj_:*iia)d\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD;delicatelyy^uiite^ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDKis:;w^y; &pasI\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDL\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsi x:s.:di iTereh t^ ^dp\"mici](e^ lapp^pyjal r.bij. m\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDT^btnpsdp?s^itr\"etcshiri|f his>0huge bpdy pnftthe\"*back\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD pbrchijji^erhaffs t:nejrea.p*n of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"his'-prref erence\"' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSva. ^ thatAthere \"he fpuhd the \"greatest niimbef of- children^ Tcamp*lp'ved childi'en: \"*|... \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\", a Whathe had Been called when he \"was only a nicfei sbftv(:,tu8iy ball of a pup, neh =^tlier=ihehor theylfca^dr^They^called'hihi\" Tramp b^cJiirse he had so uncereitrorii- ously reckoned upon theii- hospitality.

So it may be seen thab he loved her. Indeed, everyone loved Veve, and if Tramp had not done so he would have been a decided exception. She was a roiuid, fat, blue-eyed little thing, with tangled, yellow hair, and a laugh that was like the rippling of the creek over the heap of stones the boys had piled in its bed before the rain followed the drought. Then she had a pretty trick of bestowing wet and repentant kisses on the hand of One whom her wilfulness had grieved when the moment of her naughtiness has paf-sed. \"Better get rjd o' that dog o' yourh!\" the town assessor had counseled. \"We're goin' to pass a dog tax\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDleastways the council is.\" Thompson gritted the short pipe between his teeth.\" \"Reckon I can pay the levy,\" he answered. \"My wife likes him.\" \"He's got a bad streak, that stray dog o' yourn,\" the blacksmith said, casting . the eye of a connoisseur\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDan envious eye, by the way\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDon Tramp. \"I'd sell him cheap if I was you.\" \"But you ain't me, you see.\" the farmer returned placidly. \"I don't want to sell him.

England's Future. Queen. Queen Victoria recently admitted that pf all the members of her royal family, excepting only her youngest daughter, the princess Beatrix, she has most love for her probable successor^ the princess of Wales. Alexandra, the next queen of England, will enjoy in a way all the power wielded by her husband, and will have the full social prestige now belonging to her mother-in-law. The princess of Wales has never concerned herself with state matters, although she must know what is going on. She has always been absolutely indifferent to such things, unless swerved to one side or the other by personal favoritism. She admires Asquith, who married \"Dodo,\" and corrid have secured for him almost any position, but she was either too indifferent or too careless to ask, and the viceroyship, which might have been filled by him. to-day, belongs to another. The queen, who knows every line of the possibilities of her statesmen, has ever been a politician, looking for improved service, civil and military, but Alexandra has never worked along, political lines, and never will; she \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDis not that kind of a woman. Alexandra has her little weaknesses- all womanly ones. She is fond of novels, a thing the queen despises, unless of the classic sort. She dislikes famous people, such as authors and artists, for she is timid in the face of geuius, while, the queen will have nothing to do with any other. Alexandra loves fancy work, and can outline a worsted dog to perfection, while the queen never takes a stitch. Alexandra notes the hang of the skirt and the cut of the sleeves. Victoria is calmly oblivious to everything except court dress. Alexandra has been preserving herself to have her royal \"fling,\" and she is woman enough'to insist upon it.
