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.

Mr. Ramsay, who is now- looked upon as the leading spirit among the owners, came in on Tuesday from his Montana' cattle ranche, and after paying a short visit to the mines,-took his departure Friday morning, no one being much the7wiser of the.owners' future intentions. He is reported a shrewd business man, courteous and pleasant, when asking questions, and in variably answering questions straight to the point. He made enquiries about the trail and as to the probability of the government's completing the ..wagon, road ; also, as to how early machinery and supplies could be packed up to the mines in the spring. The work on the Silver King tunnel is progressing as fast as 3 shifts can run it, and it is now in over BOO feet. The bulk of the winter's supplies have been packed up, and everything is in ship-shape for rapid and continuous work. The value of the ore shipped this fall is pretty accurately Icnown, and the figures would surprise, even old Oomstockmine managers, being- considerably higher than those yielded by the .ore taken from the great Consolidated (California and Virginia minesin their palmy days, when yielding millions yearly in dividends".-";-The-.Miner, predicts that the.Silver King and Kootenay Bonanza will yet have as great a reputation as bullion producers as any mines on the great Oomstock lode.
