description: 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.

House of Representatives is such that there his no risk of this charter being refused. A [.charter has also been applied for to build a road [;.from Sheep Creek to Trail Creek and into the ;Red Mountain country. This country is on the (eve of great things; it has got the right men in- J .'teres ted, and all the powers of prejudice and [, monopoly cannot hold it back. The C. P. R. fcmust now compete, not dictate terms. Their \\immediate salvation lies in building a road up Slocan River and connecting with Revelstoke in due season. So long as it is a monopoly we are in duty bound to loathe and abominate the C. P. R. Whenever it steps off the perch and becomes a competitor, we welcome it with open arms, because we know that apart from its position as a monopoly, it is the best handled railroad system on the American continent. ir THE C.
