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 ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xminer/items/1.0182641/source.json"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note " B The Mines in K.o������fte nay are Among the Richest in America.

U A YEAE TENDEKFOOT'S KASLO NOTES KASLO MAKES A LITTLE NOISE AND CELE- BEATES OONSIDEEABLY. The Mild-Mannered Flat Gives Some Pointers on the General Course of'.Events In and Around the Noisy City���������A little Side Show Which is Now Reing Run���������A Painful Accident While Racing-. Kaslo' just now is gazing away at the far-off snow-clad ranges and wishing she had a mighty chunk of that glittering mass to clap upon her fevered brow. In other words the town is still struggling with the after effects of the very hilarious and enjoyable time with which the Queen's birthday was celebrated. The town was handsomely decorated with flags and bunting and presented a truly holiday appearance, as the large delegation from Nelson which went up to assist, in the festivities drew near the Dock. Oh, bless you, yes, gentle stranger, we Have a dock with a big D. George O. Buchanan read, a very able address of welcome to all who caredcto listen to it, and those who did not missed a really good thing. The forenoon was occupied in a great variety of athletic sports during the progress of which it became evident that some fairly good talent in their lines can be found among the boys of Kaslo. The brass band was on its bes t behaviour and nearly all day the members quite graciously consented to play the same selections at the same time. Towards night, however, the heat of the of the day proved too much for them and some of them sought relief from overstrained nerves by branching out into individual selection. Small fragments of Giant powder were let off from time to time, and while this seemed to relieve the feelings of those who felt unable to do justice to the occasion by personal yells, still at the same time they jarred on the sensitive nerves of others. The afternoen was taken up with boat races, horse races, and incidentally mentioning to visitors that \"Kaslo has come to stay.\" I am pained to be forced to state that more attention was paid to .the horse races than to the oft- repeated sketches of future glory. The pleasure of the afternoon was marred by a painful and well-nigh fatal accident which took place on the impromptu race course. Frank Hughes was riding up and down the track trying to keep back the crowd which was pressing within the lines. It appears that while he was directing his attention elsewhere the starterssent ofr* a bunch of horses. These came down the course and before Hughes could get out of the way they charged into his animal. A son of J. M. Burke, the banker, was riding oue of the horses, and being thrown violently sustained a broken collarbone and badly bruisea* leg and ankle. Another rider who was thrown fortunately escaped with a bad shaking up and a few bruises. One of the horses was found to be so badly injured that it w7as necessary to shoot it at once. The waters of the Upper country are becoming more and more dangerous every day owing to the increased amount of drift coming in from the streams going up so rapidly. A man named McKillop was drowned in the Lardo river several days ago. He and a partner named Elliott were overturned by a drifting log. Elliott clung to the log and was finally rescued by a party passing up the river. . Gangs of men are being made up almost daily to go out into various parts of the couutry for the purpose of getting the trails into condition. About a score of men have been sent up to Argenta to put the Duncan river trails into shape. And still the Kaslo sideshow to the South Kootenay Board of Trade goes on. Outside the tattered tent are set forth in more than life-size daubs supposed to represent the wonders within. And the voice of the man at the door is never silent. The innocent visitor from the back country is assured that there is \" plenty of time before the big show begins,\" and if he appears to be sufficiently verdant he may even be assured in mysterious tones that \" There ain't no big show.\" The services of a hand organ have been dispensed with as the man at the door was found quite able to make all the noise necessary. His eloquence in describing the many attractions of his show is at times touching in its pathos. Beneath this flowery ladguage there is a rinn of sorrow, and sometimes a faraway look comes into the eyes of the showman, as if he had been inside and knew only too well how little the pictures along the walls oj the tent represent what is to be seen inside. But also as many another it is not a matter of choice. Bread and butter depend upon the strength of his lungs, and shaking off his dapondency he yells again louder than before. The saddest part of it is that but few seem to be influenced by all his racket. At long intervals an over-confident person wander over, gives up his coin and passes from view behind the tattered tent flap, only to appear again looking as if he had forgotten something and was in a hurry to get back. A Flat Minor. BY MEANS OP GIANT POWDEE. _>ich Hughes, of Kaslo, Tries to Blow Himself and Family into Eternity. A man named Dick Hughes is now lying in a dying condion at the Nelson- jail. He was brought down from Kaslo suffering from the result of injuries received from an explosion of Giant powder, by means of which he had planned to destroy himself and family. So far as can be learned from those who something of the history of the man, and the contents of a letter discovered on his person after his arrival fin Nelson the rash act was caused through the influence of jealousy. ? It appears that for some reason Hughes became suspicious that all was not as it should be between himself and wife. This idea so preyed upon his mind that he resolved to destroy not only himself, but his wife and infant child as well. As a result he- procured a stick of. giant powder, and on the night of the 23rd hist, arranged to carry his plan into effect. A fuse was attached to the powder, which was concealed at the head of the bed under the pillows. After Hughs and his wife had retired for the, night the fuse was lighted and the man lay in momentary expectation of death. The \" spitting \" of the fuse aroused his wife who got up to find the cause of the noise. She was far enough away to receive no injury when the explosion occurred. The child also escaped in some way and seems to be suffering scarcely any ill ���������������ffects from the concussion. Hughs was severely stunned and is suffering from concussion of the brain, which will in all probability prove fatal within the next few days. \" Price the Tailor \" is a new sign appearing on the Postoffice block, East Baker street.

From advice received in Nelson lately there isr no longer any doubt as to the correctness of the telegrams from Premier Davie and Commissioner Gore stating that McGillivray's claim to the land of the New Denver townsite has been allowed. By this act the Premier must be credited with an amount of firmness which some were reluctant to give when the claim was first made. The majority of the people in this section were of the opinion that McGillivray's claim was a just one, but of doubtful outcome. That it has been allowed speaks well for the powers that be. It is understood that from now on the new town will be pushed ahead as rapidly as is consistent with solid growth. A number of new lines of business will be opened and extensixe improvements made all along the line. This town should give a good account of itself during the next twelve months. wMM^mmmmmmmmMmi^^ [������������������������'��������� :#��������� I' r' f������ibiB*5__S3iSi*5������^^ TW������^.iUKg*___^g__e__MyH_^.M_van man-im*. t^*������������S^������*������ij^^r-s^wq������������7CT w*g^t-w_ra__������u>������������t ������������_;_���������*!*_, a^_MTMm^a.'aa,--^���������* ���������������������.. * -a t*--T\"ft' i1\"^--;:'. :,r\\~ THE MINES : NELSON, B. 0., SATUEDAY MAY 27, 1893. fa N 6: I. :: f it1 I 1.* Messrs.

From Our Own Correspondent. Revelstoke, May 24.���������Louis Mason, who is well known in the Big Bend district, brought his life to an end on Monday afternoon at the Columbia hotel. After going about during the forenoon he went to bed before dinner and complained-about being sick. The cook took up a plate of soup, but the sick man refused to eat. Later in the afternoon another visit was made to his room but the door was locked and aq, entry had to be effected by way of the window. Mason's face was found to be very much swollen and no statement could be got from him as to what was wrong with him. Dr. McLean was immediately sent for, but by the time he arrived medical aid was of no avail. The post-mortem examination disclosed that death, had been caused by drugs administered apparently by the hand of the deceaied with the intent of taking his own life. Louis Mason came to this country from New7 Orleans, and has been mostly engaged in prospecting in the Big Bend country, in which district he recently sold some of his interests and has been in town over a month, during which time he lias spent a large sum of money in various ways. Very little money was found on his person and nothing to show the cause of the rash act. R. A. Ren-wick, of The Miner, passed through Revelstoke on Monday en route for the Coast. The temporary bridge over the Illecillewaet was swept away last week by an unexpected rise in the river. The bridge was constructed- by the saw7 mill people last winter and was used by them and the ranchers living across the river. The celebration of Her Majesty's birthday was observen to some extent, but there was not much excitement. Races and general sports were the principal part of the amusement during the afternoon. President VanHorne, of the C.T\\R. and party passed through here in a special last night. It expected much good will result to the Kootenay district when the famous magnate looks into the prospects of trade in that quarter and uses his influence as[he will no doubtMo to push the Arrow Lake branch line.

The Kootenay Hydraulic Company, after spending nearly $50,000 on their property, is almost ready to begin work. The claims of this company are located on the north bank of, the Pend d'Oreille river, about nine miles up from Wan eta. A shaft is down about 90 feet, and no bed rock in sight. The same company has a saw mill, boarding house, and offices two miles out from Wan eta. The mill will cut fifty thousand feet of lumber or more here, and will then be moved over on the Salmon river. A. greater portion of the flu ne is now completed, and will soon be carrying water to the two monitors of five streams each, which the company proposes to put in. The general manager, Geo. J. Goodhue, is an American inventor who has, among other things, patented several gold mining devices which will \"be used on the works. He is now on the grounds and will personally superintend the work during the season. Prospects which have been made in a number of places on the lands of the company have resulted in nearly 20 small bottles of gold dust ranging all the ! way from flour to flake gold. Experts who \"have carefully examined the ground estimate that it will average from $20 to $25 per cubic yard, and that the deposit is sufficiently large not to be washed over in less than a lifetime.

C. HE RESPONDED PROMPTLY. Secretary Bigelow looses No Time in Sending the ISoo&s in a Beautiful Casket. ! The latest departure in the series of moves now in progress in connection with Board of Trade matters was indicated by the recent re- . ceipt, by Secretary Bigelow, of the South Kootenay Board of Trade of the following communication : Kaslo, May 18th, 1893. Dear Sir,���������I am instructed by the Council of the South Kootenay Board of Trade to inform you that at the adjourned annual meeting of the Baard, held at Kaslo on the 10th inst, your election as Secretary-Treasurer of the Board was annulled; also to draw your attention to the following resolution passed by the Council of the Board on the 18th inst.: Moved by Mr. J. M. Burke, seconded by Mr. C. W. Mc- Canri, that the secretary be instructed to request the late . officers of the Board to surrender to the secretary of the board all the properties of the board, of whatsoever description, now in their possession, on or before the 23rd inst. This is therefore to notify you accordingly and to request you to hand over*to the undersigned all books, monies, and other properties of the Board that may now be in your possession or under your control, on or before the 23rd inst. Yours, etc., William Baillle, Secretary South Kootenay Board of Trade. To G. A. Bigelow,' Nelson, B.C. Immediately upon receipt of the above Secretary Bigelow, after shedding a few manly tears over the loss of his office, proceeded to gather up the effects mentioned. A casket of solid silver from the \"Silver King was constructed to prder to contain the material asked for. This casket was a most beautiful example of the silversmith's art, The hinges, straps and locks were of gold from the mines around Nelson, On the top of this box is chased a sketch of the railroad terminus at Nelson, and Nelson as a port of entry is the subject of the front panel. Kaslo in 12 months is represented by the back panel, which is not etched at. all. The roseate hue of things at Nelson is symbolized by a ruby cross on the front, while the back or Kaslo panel contains a circle of sapphires indicative of Vv everlasting blueness. Ln addition to the goods asked for several- diamond crowns were placed within as a possible inducement for some of the crowd to seek their future home as soon as possible. This casket was sent at once to Kaslo by a specially chartered steamer and everyone is waiting to hear the echo of the chorus sure to greet it on its arrival. p.S.���������The above is what the Kaslo people expected, but a little delay has occurred in the programme. Have patience, brothers, and we will hurry it along. -.Distinguished Visitors. The increasing: attention which this section is attracting in the outside worldis being shown just now by the influx of distinguished visitors who are coming to \" spy out the land.\" Within the next ten days Nelson will be visited by several parties of gentlemen who represent in one way and another a very lark amount of capital, some of which will undoubtedly find investment in this vicinity. NELSON A PORT OP ENTRY 'While no official information has been received locally as to the truth of the press despatches from Ottawa announcing that Nelson had been made a port of entry,, there seems to be no doubt that it is correct. Officials here say that it is in direct line with, what has been under consideration for some time. Verily, things are beginning to come our way. Miles from JLardo. Prospectors and mining men are pouring into the Trout Lake district daily. Present indications are distinctly favorable!. Spence and Carpenter's ledge has been prospected for 1,000 feet and shows strong in copper. Bart- lett and son, of Pilot Bay, who bought an interest in this claim last winter, are more than satisfied with their investment. The thirty-five mile trail from Kootenay Lake to Arrow Lake has been allowed to get'in bad repair, but a little judicious work will put it in good shape. John Sanderson has a gang of men at work upon it. From Kootenay Lake to Trout -Lake is an easy two days' journey, and by pack horses can be done in one day. It is the best route from Kootenay Lake into the Lardo district. Travellers will find good accommodation at the stopping places of Pearson and Barlett, and H. P. Jackson's hotel at the foot of Trout Lake. A trail is being built connecting Lardo with Duncan City. The distanee is ten miles. This will give Lardo a good position with regard to the whole Duncan~ river country. The, Lardo and Duncan rivers are now impassable to boats. Sayward Snap Snots. Latest accounts from Sayward are a very encouraging nature. A number of buildings are in process of erection. Among these are two hotels, which will be completed in about two weeks. The land is being cleared rapidly and a portion of the timber utilized in putting up cordwo'od for the C. & K. steamers. Contractor Larson has four log houses and some tents erected for the storing of supplies and feed for his railroad gangs. The Nelson & Fort Sheppard tracks is now up as far as the Pend d'Oreille bridge, and the material to complete T To Augustus Carney, of the Town off Kaslo, in Kootenay District, of British Columbia, and Albert Barrett, of the Town of Nelson, in said Kootenay District, and tlte Bank of Montreal, at the said Town of Nelson, and all Others Whom it May in Anywise Concern : Notice is hereby given that under and by virtue of a power of sale contained in a certain indenMire of mortgage bearing date the twenty-fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two, and duly registesed in the office for the Registration of Deeds at the City of Victoria, in said Province of British Columbia in Charge Book, Vol. 12, Folio 11, and numbered 138D0, and made between the said Augustus Carney and Albert Barrett, therein described as of the saip town of Nelsod, merchants, of the first part, and Malcolm Mclnnes and Patrick Burns, of the town of Calgary, in the District of Alberta, one of the Territories of the Canadian North-West, cattle dealers, parties therein of the second part, there will for the purpose of satisfying the moneys secured by said mortgage, default having been made in the payment thereof, be sold at Public Auction at the premises herein described, on Thursday, the sixth day op Jcjiy next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, the lands and premises mentioned and described in said indenture and mortgage as follows : \" Those lots of land situate in the said town of Nelson, \"and numbered lots two and three in block twelves as \" said lots and block are marked out on the official map or \"plan of the said town of Nelson,\" together with all houses, buildings, edificos and privileges thereto belonging. Dated this twenty-sixth day of May, A.D. 1893. MALCOLM MoINNES, PATRICK BURNS, F.McLEOD, Nelson, B.C., Mortgagees. Solicitor for Mortgagees. that structure will be delivered within the next few days. The bridge will be completed by June 15. When the road crosses the river, up will go several of t.he little temporary towns along the line and everything will be concentrated at Sayward. This town will probably be the end of river navigation, as it is-the most accessible point which avoids the low water in the spring. Seven claims for placer grounds here have been located on the Salmon river, and there is every appearance of considerable successful work being done. ffew Denver Notes. F. M. Chadbourn, who is interested in the Reid & Robinson mine, returned to Nelson from New! Denver this week. He is quite enthusiastic over the prospects ahead of New Denver, and is sure it is going to be the mining town of the Slocan country. - \".,;.' There are men at work on.the Reid & Robinson mine. The snow is fast .disappearing from the hills, a disapi pearance which will meet with the strong approval of some three or four hundred prospectors who are waiting to get up in the hills. It is thought that work of more or less raagnifude will be carried on this season in twenty-five of the mines im: mediately contiguous to New Denver. In all 919 claims have been recorded on the New Denver side of the Slocan slope. Eighteen men are. at work repairing the trail between New Denver and Nakusp. When this is finished the Nakusp will be preferable to the Slocan Crossing trail, as it is much shorter: ^ AUCTSOMEERS AND We will sell by _������B/BI<_��������� AUCTION l>y order .of Messrs-,A. B.
