"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/1.0188594/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

The Hall Mines smelter is treating betAveen sixty-five and seventy tons of ore daily in the small furnace. About forty por cent of this ore is obtained from one of the Silver King workings, and is smelted-in connection Avith purchased lead ores from the Slocan. It is the intention of the smelter superintendent to increase the proportion of ihoSilver King ore next week to fnily fifty per cent, as the idea of the company in treating the Slocan ores is mainly to use their lead contents for collecting the sih-er A'alucs in the Ioav grade Silver King ore, Avhieh carries but a small percentage of copper. The present difficulty betAveen the members of the Nelson board of school trustees and the education department at Victoria Avill very likely be settled today, or a commencement at least Avill be made in the way of a settlement. At the last meeting of the trustees it was decided to close the two junior classes, owing to tho fact that the education department had failed to furnish two additional teachers avIio were required, and likewise failed to fui nihh the two extra rooms in the neAV building. Since the trustees and the education department locked horns upon the issue on April 29th there has been no school for the youngsters. This is one of the matters wliich Hon. J. Fred Hume Avill endeavor to straighten out \vhile in Nelson. A conference Avith the school trustees will probably be arranged for today, Avhen the offer avi'11 be made to the school trustees that the necessary steps be taken by the people of Nelson Avith a view to having Nelson created a school district. This Mr. Hume says the government Avould be only too well- pleased to do, placing Nelson upon the =same basis Avith respect to its school as the large cities on the coast. This would transfer the control of the school from the education department at Victoria to a board of school trustees to be elected by the electors of the city, and the cost for maintaining the school Avould be borne by the municipality and a per caijita alloAvance from the province instead of being wholly borne by the provincial government. If this suggestion is acted upon, it is safe to say that Nelson's ''school'facilities will be A-ery much improved, as there would be more money available for their maintenance than the proA'incial authorities appear able to command. In this event, the provincial revenue: tax of three dollars per head Avhieh the province is supposed to collect for school jmrposes would be collected by the city council. Properly collected, this head tax should realize at least $3000. The jDer capita grant upon school attendance should realize another $4000, so that at the outset Nelson avou Id bein a much better position AA'ith respect to school finances than it is at present, and with efficient schools Nelson Avould become an even more desirable place'.of residence than it is at present.

Missouri within a few days, telling of zinc ore reaching, the record price of $55 a ton, indicates to these who have been 'watching the course of the zinc market that there; is likely to be a boom in zinc mines and mining shares of much the same character as that which swept over the copper properties a year ago. The high price of zinc ore is incident to a like advance in...the ..price of metallic ziuc, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD; and this in turn has come from a scarcity of the '. metal iu the world's. markets. One of the -'evidences of this scarcity is that a recent order was received here Y from London for 2500 tons of zinc, and the broker who tried to fill the order could buy only 1800 tons after'scraping the markets. After being ourselves dependent for many ;yearsupon Europe for a part at least of our supplies of ^inc. Ameriea now suddenly finds herself the most important factor iu the world in the production of this indispensable metal, with Europe begging at her doors for more of it than we have to sell. This is the more remarkable when one considers that only about 'three-years., ago the demand for zinc had fallen so low comparatively that the price dropped to 3] cents a pound, and it could .hardly be produced. except, at a loss. Iu'fact.rthere were many \".mines from weich none would have beeu produced at-all but for, the fact-that its pro-- duction was incidental to the, producing of-I cad from the same ores. it was about six mouths ago that the - present strong upward tendency in zinc , values began and today metallic' zinc is\" worth (J| to.Oi cents a pound, or practi- . cally-twice what it would, bring three years ago. * According .to men well informed in the trade, this advance is due mostly to natural and* normal'causes and indicates that the market willjLcontinue firm and high for zinc for a 'considerable time, and this notwithstanding, that there has been within a short time a \"great increase in the production of* zinc in this country. The present situation has come, it is . declared, from two causes. In Europe tho zinc mines are giving out, while with - tlio recurrence of good times, both here and abroad, the demand for zinc in the arts has greatly increased. This demand is only normal, and so long as good times continue VjT.I1 keep growing. There is only one special industry where the use of zinc has become comparatively greater than it was before. This is the use in . Europe aiid some other '(-fouufrie^Sf sheet zinc to-take thg;place of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD^rruga*fced iron =^orn^ofliig7a\"n^^i|closi tliisjiijurpos^llt hiijiprQVejii\" greatly superior |jo.*the jjjlaih iroii $pr Steel or,\"to? that \"which, was zinccoated or galvanized as it is styled.

Jersey, and the ore is peculiar, requiring a^sijecial treatment.and producing a number of separate marketable products. Other deposits have been found and worked in Pennsylvania. Virginia, .Arkansas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas and Missouri, but it is principally iu Missouri in the Joplin district that tlie -recent great development is talcing place. For years many small mines were Avorked in that district by men who put into the pits only their labor and were content to get out enough to make wages for themselves. Recently a more organized method ofAvork has been adopted and large comiianies formed, with the result of enormously increasing the output, while at the same time increasing the chances of profit by more economical methods. In 189(5 the, total production of metallic zinc for the whole country was about 78,000 tons. In 1897 this had increased to 100,000 tons, and the Joplin district produced 52,000 tons of this. Last year the total production was 225,- 000 tons, and the .Joplin district production, which had been :i(Mi,<)0(),0()0 pounds of ore in 189(5 and .15(5,000,000 pounds in 1897, rose to -170,000,000 pounds, The returns for the first quarter of this year indicate that the output of the region will be 500,000.000 pounds of ore. That the present demand and high prices will stimulate a great increase in production is certain, but experts declare tliat any company having good mines will be certain to make a lot of money and that prices must remain firm ancl remunerative for a long time. This assertion is based upon the fact that there is no metal to take the place of zinc in the arts. The largest consumers of zinc are the manufacturers of galvanized iron work. Then come the brass founders, for zinc is an important element in brass alloys, anil large quantities are used in the sheet form and as an element in galvanic batteries. Zinc is put under stoves and is used to line bathtubs. Great quantities of tlie ore arc used also to make zinc white, or zinc oxide, for paint, but this is made direct from the ores and is not materially affected by the present rise of A'alues, the zinc oxide having,, gone tip only about half a cent a pound in price. Of this the United States imported at one time about 30,- 000 barrels a year. Now avc can export it as we do the metal and ore. Our exports of the ore Avere only 4S.000 pounds in 1895, but last year rose to 21,0<10,000 pounds, Avhile our exports of pig rose in the same period from about '3,000,000 pounds to'21,000,000.

Marks and his associates in the Golden Crown group are meeting with considerable encouragement in the development of their group of prospects about a mile from Nelson and immediately above the Canadian Pacific shipyard. They have run in a tunnel for. 35 feet and luvve a six-foot ledge of quartz which assays from $1.20 to $17 to the ton in gold. Some cross-cutting is now being done. There are three claims in the group, which is owned by A. J. Alarks, Jolm 'Norcross, Fred Hart and Arthur Fowler. \"' G. W. Busk, the Kokanee creek rancher,.is having .his efforts as a stock raiser frustrated by a hungry Avolf. For some time past he has been endeavoring to raise four calves. Three of them were bull calves, to which he attached little value, and the fourth was a heifer, which he thought *As*as destined to supply the ranch with milk. Air. Rusk's complaint against the wolf is that in selecting a calf for a meal on Tuesday he ate the heifer, instead of one of the bull calves.
