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.

If the reservation does not apply to'pre-emptions,-why should it apply to applications to purchase.?. ��������� One is as legal a .method-'to. acquire public land as the other. If as legal, why should the pre-emptor's rights be respected and those of the applicant to purchase be disregarded? Does mr. Robson imagine that the people are all fools, and that he call square an unfair/ act by making it appear that he is acting fair? Mr. Robson knows well that there, has not been a single pre-emption made on the lands on which the reserve has been placed-.; .'fci'r if made the records would be oh file ih the government office at Nelson, and no such records are on file. The truth of the matter is, the provincial government .has made another deal with--the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and one of the conditions of the deal is that the railway company is to have all the. lands on Slocan lake fas a bonus 'for building its. projected branch1 south from Revelstoke. Hence, the rights of many poor applicants areas nothing when in conflict with the wishes of one rich corporat ion like the Canadian Pacific. ��������� ' .-��������� ; '-��������� ��������� " ' y '���������<- ��������� ���������''. -/ '".Supplies Witlian "Ten.'Miles :of ''tlie.'.'Mines. ����…
