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.

At New York, on the 8th, bar silver was quoted at 973c and lead at,$4.55. . , W. C. McLean expects to have the contract for grading Stanley and Vernon streets furnished in 3 weeks. He also has most of the material for the "Vernon street bridge on the ground.' , - '! Hi J. Edson, late proprietor of the Merchants, has left- Nelson, mourned by a number of creditors. He is supposed to have gone to Idaho; but not to Wallace, the town from whence he came to Nelson. The Dandy Mining Company, by its manager, A. M. Esler, was the first subscriber to pay for one of the telephone company's instruments, and Angus Melntyre the :first;man to pay for a message over the company's lines. Articles incorporating the Windermere Mining Company were filed at the auditor's office at Spokane recently. The object of the company is to develop mining claims in British Columbia. The incorporators are George Pike, Glaus Pahl, Charles G. Schrimpf, Charles Uhdeh, and Adolph Hunter. The capital stock is $500,000, divided into 5000 shares at $100 per share. Mr. Fitzstubbs is in Trail Creek district inspecting its trails with a view of improving them. R. Kirk wood will likely be employed as foreman. Dr. Brown, the dentist, will remain in Nelson till Friday. Those needing his services should note the date. A Rustling Steamboat' Agent. F. G. Christie, general agent of the company that owns the steamers Lytton and Nelson, was at kelson today interviewing our business men and urging thorn t(> hurry through '.-orders for winter goods. 0He claims that the boats of^his line will be able to run between Revelstoke and Robson until November 1st, and much later between Robson and Little Dalles. He was'somewhat surprised when he found that our merchants would yet require over half a'million pounds of goods to carry them through until navigation opened in the spring. The Nelson will probably be pulled off the Bonner's Ferry route for a while, there being no business to justify her running. She may be put on later in the season, if goods are shipped that way in bond. In reference to the complaints of Ains- worth merchants, that their goods were not delivered by the railway company to the boat on wliich they wanted them carried, mr. Christie stated that the captain of the Nelson had positive instructions to receive no freight consigned to the Galena, as his company did not wish to interfere with that boat's business. A Wagon Koad Surveyed. / The tunnel on the Grizzly Bear is undercover over 70 feet, and superintendent Robertson reports the work making good progress. His company are getting in supplies and otherwise preparing for the long winter that is not far oft' on Toad mountain at least. This week A. S. Far- j well completed the survey for a wagon road between the Grizzly ground and and the main road from Nelson. It was found that the new road would be 3 miles long and not. a difficult one to build, the grade being easy. There would be no rock work and but 2 bridges, the longest about 60 feet. It is thought that the road would be open fully a month earlier in the spring than the one built this summer on the north slope of the mountain���������the new survey being on the south slope. A B&undrcd-Foot CJray Copper Ledge. Three weeks ago The Miner reported a strike being made on the Lardeaux by a party of prospectors from Revelstoke. The report is confirmed by private letters received at Nelson, The ledge is said to be fully a hundred feet in width and the4 ore gray copper running high in silver. It is also reported that the discoverers want the government to cut a trail to the find, a distance of 2 or 3 miles. ELECTKIC NACIIINKKY FOMt TOAD MOUNTAIN. While it is asserted that electric mining machinery is in successful operation, the facts do not. bear out the assertion. Electric plants have been ordered for several mines, and one or two practical tests have been made, but, so far, the results have not been satisfactory. If the practical tests had been satisfactory an electric drill would today be at work on Toad mountain. A. M. Esler, manager of the Dandy Mining Company, was in Nelson this week, on his regular 'monthly visit. Mr. Esler is also manager of a mine in the Coeur d'Alenes, a country in which0, ���������;��������� mining operations are carried on with the most- approved machinery. An electric plant was put in in one of the mines there, but the drills, while not failures, did not work satisfactorily. The 0 makers of the plant claim they can remedy the defect (heating of the drills), but so far have not. done so, their expert electrician not having put in an appearance, although 2 months have elapsed since the trial was made. The difference in the first cost of the electric over the compressed air drill is not ; much in favor of the former; but there would be a great saving in working them, owing to the substitution of wires for pipes. Mr. Esler yet hopes to have one on the Dandy before winter sets in. He reports that property looking good, the ore in the lower tunnel having improved in the last 3 days. While on the mountain he let a contract: to extend the crosscut 100 feet. That -.tunnel is now in 96 feet, and when extended the 100 feet, its face will be pretty close to the ledge. While the contract price ($11 a foot) is higher than the work has been costing, the contract will probably result in the work being hastened." Kecord Keating. Letters mailed in Yokohama, Japan, on August19th arrived at Queenstown, Ireland, on September 8th���������in less than 20 days. The steamship Empress of Japan made the run froin Yokohama to Vancouver in 10 days 13 hours. A train on the Canadian Pacific fan from Vancouver to Brock ville, Ontario, 2803 .miles, in 77 hours 20 minutes. From Brock ville the mail bags crossed the St. Lawrence on a steamer to Morristown, New York. There the New York Central took them and made the run to New York city, 353 miles, in 6 hours 58 minutes���������an average of 54 miles an hour. In less than an hour after their arrival at the Grand Central depot in New York they were aboard the steamship City of New York. In the run to Queenstown that steamship broke all previous records, making the distance in 5 days 22 hours and 50 minutes. A Second Vein Encountered.'' The tenor of the notices posted on the Silver King ground indicates that the owners of that great property do not care to be troubled with visitors, no-matter whether they are sightseers or mining sharps. Even specimens of peacock copper are' not to be taken from any of the dumps, a violation of the notice subjecting the violator to the dire penalties of-the law. The crosscut from- the bottom of the shaft is again in ore, said to be high-grade, which makes the present vein the second encountered in running the crosscut 50 feet or more. Mr. Hall, one of the owners reports the mine looking good. iOttawa Capitalists Looking for Interests. The recent discoveries on the Salmon, to the southeast of Nelson, are attracting attention. ., This week Thomas Watts, who represents Ottawa capital, arrived at Nelson with a view of taking a look at the lake country, and more particularly the above discoveries, the richness of the ore being the incentive. A half dozen locations have been made in the new camp by Jack Buchanan, Mike Landrigan, 0. M. Gething, William Springer, and R. G.

'.'"'"Perhaps the most mysterious as well as sensa- ���������;.'. tional duel of 1889, was the killing of the crown prince Rudolph of Austria by count Franz Clam Gallas on the 31st day of January. The duel was fought with pistols in a little piece of woods neai��������� Baden,- at a,bout i o'clock in the eve 11 ing, and the crown prince was mortally wounded at the first fire. His seconds were two brothers-in- law of his antagonist, count Ployos and prince Ooburgy who declared that Clam Gallas was -wholly in tlie wrong- in the, entertaininent of long-range suspicions regarding his sister, while the count was attended bv prince Ferdinand Kiasky and prince Tleiritz.: The dying man was at once taken to castle Meyeiling, a short dls-- tauce oif, whei/e he expired before 9 o'clock. A dozen roumntie stories have been concocted concerning the taking ..off of Rudolph, in -which assassination, suicide or, double suicide (of the 'crown' prince; and countess Clam Gallas), have been vvorked- up into heroic chapters. All of these! latter are untrue, however. That the countess Clam Gallas took her own life after she had been advised of the death of the crown prince is generally believed throughout Austria. A ferocious duel was fought with swords at Piedad, near" the City of Mexico, August 4th, 1891, by colonel Francisco Nevoa and Manuel Blanco of the army. The former had general Flores and colonel Rodrigo Valdes for seconds, and Blanco was attended by don Francisco Romero, a famous duelist and a government officer, and don Antonio "Vovar, a deputy and the author of the Mexican dueling code. The "meeting..took place early in the /morning, and although president Diaz attempted to check it, there were 10 rounds or assaults. Blanco was desperately wounded in the wrist, arm, and throat, and; at last was laid out by a thrust through the liver. Nevoa was slightly wounded 4: times.; .''''. ,: '���������'.' .',.'",- May 9th, 1888, James Milbank, an Englishman, and count von Be'irlan- a German, quarreled in Paris over a fair American -.girl.; named Brown, and in the duel which followed the count was killed at the first tire. Baron-, 'von Beulan, a brothei' of the deceased, met Milbank,.July 5th, 1891, in a restaura.ut on the boulevard des Ital- iens and publicly insulted him. This led to another duel, and Milbank and the baron met in the Bois de Boulogne at daylight, on the 7th, and at the first fire the latter fell dead. A desperate duel was fought one day in August, 1886, by 2 girls, about 18 years of age���������sen- orit'as Espinosa and Moreno, employed at the tobacco..-factory- in Seville���������that 'workshop' in front of which the. first act of the opera ''Carmen" is supposed to eventuate. Their seconds were men, who furnished each girl with a'dirk, after'.w'hich they were blindfolded and placed in an unlighted room for half an 'hour and commanded to "fight!" Then the room was locked and the seconds joined the other employees at dinner, after which they opened the doors and found both girls alive, but mortally, wounded. One of the combatants was cut in ,27 different places and was bleeding to death, while the other received severe wounds in 10, and fatal ones in 2 places. The 2 seconds attempted to escape, but.were arrested and sent to prison for 6 months. The girls never spoke after the d(>or was opened, but one of them lived in great agony for several hours. Near Madrid, December 10th, 1890, Captains Romero and Murillo fought with sabres, and both were frightfully injured and maimed for life. Subsequently the principals and their seconds (all officers) were -arrested, and the'.former were dismissed from the army and the latter fined. One of the latter, after paying his fine, challenged the magistrate who fined him, who accepted and received 3 wounds. He again fined the officer, and was again challenged and fought, with pistols, killing the officer at first shot. Quite as good a little, story is that in which, at an aristocratic party in Vienna, a lady dropped a bouquet -and a gentleman following in a waltz kicked it to one side so that it would not be stepped upon, and was challenged and wounded by the escortof the lady who dropped the flowTers, and was afterward nursed by and married to the lacly herself. This is an actual fact. But more humorous than the above is the following: July 7th, 1890, two acrobats belonging to a traveling circus outside of Paris fought a duel in the; ring immediately after the night performance. They fired at each other once, at 25 paces, with revolvers, with no effect. Then .; their seconds declared that satisfaction was complete, and nearly all the spectators quitted the arena Two trained monkeys, however, picked up the weapons and blazed away at each other, andJioth fell dead. In Russian Poland lately a lady became her own champion by fighting a duel with a man , who had spoken disrespectfully to her, although he had previously offered her "his hand and had been refused. Stung by her.--.rejection, he persisted iii maligning her, until she* resolved to put a stop to it by fighting him. Gentlemen by ..;' the score offered to "horsevyhip the calumniator, ;but she declined to permit them. She sent a male friend with a challenge, which was accepted,, and re vol vers were named as the weapons, distance 25 paces; The belligerents met "arid exchanged one shot, and then the' matter was settled by the seconds, although the lady could hardly be restrained from firing again. But the cuhninator apologized fully, praised her gallantry, confessed himself her .'slave, .���������and..promised never again to speak slight- ingly of a woman, be she good or bad. July:19th, 1889, near the avenue St. Germain, at Puteaux, France, uidlles. Zelle Picot arid Marie Voisin met with swords and had a fierce encounter, which'was 'terminated by mdlle. Picot, ..after' being hard pressed, falling into a well, which gave the commissary "of police an opportunity of. lodging a double complaint ��������� one against the young woman for '..dueling and another against the; proprietor of the ground for not maintaining' a. guard around the mouth of the well. [The above"may be" true as regards all the duels except the first. If is now a generally accepted fact that the crown prince of Austria was not killed in a duel, but killed by his own hand. The San Francisco Examiner and the London Times, of the 3rd instant, both publish full particulars of the scandal and/tragedy that resulted in the death of the prince and his young mistress,''baroness Marie de Vetsera. It is even hinted that the cause of the double suicide was the fact t baton the day before, the tragedy the prince had a long and stormy interview withhis .father, in-which the latter implored his son to break off at once the connection with his mistress on the ground of tin-1 doubt that existed as to the paternity of the girl, her mother being the heroine of numerous. Masons.and' adventures and her- name'being for years associated with that of the emperor-himself. When found the crown prince was lying on a bed with his skull shattered by a bullet, and the girl crouched in her night dress on the floor in.one-corner of the room with a bullet through her head.���������Editor Miner.] Will contract for the erection of .stores, hotels, dwellings bridges, etc., and guarantee work finished on time. s:e^so:dt:e]':d lttzmliibieir, always on hand for store fittings, desks, tables, etc. Undertaking attended to.

It is quite out of fashion to struggle and say: "Oh, now, you stop!" when you are going to be kissed, writes Clara Belle. Presumably, if you don't intend to allow yourself to be kissed, your manner will not. suggest the notion of kissing you to the man. Few men will try to kiss a girl unless there is a chance for success. Besides struggling musses your hair and crumples your laces and breaks the flowers you wear, and leaves any number of traces by which girls can tell just what has happened. It's much prettier to just pretend the last minute that you don't know what is going to happen. In this case you never lose the kiss, as you may if you do the "struggle" act, and it is much more satisfactory than a kiss after a struggle or during astruggle. You can be awfully "surprised" and gasp "Oh! ���������how���������how dare you," and clasp you hands over your face and say "Go away" when he tries to soothe you, and "I will never speak to you again," and "I hate you," and all that. It is just as effective as before the kiss, and just as pretty and all that, and it does not muss your hair so much. The proud and haughty method is very satisfactory if you choose the right man. Yoii should let the "cold moon" shine full upon your face, and with your lips "curling scornfully," you say: "You would not dare," and look him steadily and scornfully in the eye. You must be sure to choose a man who will not be scared to death at this and wish himself at home. The right sort of a man will grab you instantly. Then you can do the "contrast" act, which is very effective, turn meek and mild and "half timid" or do the tragedy queen business and leave the gentle act for later. Now all men don't go in for "taming" girls, and all men don't go in for catching the coquette, and all don't fancy teaching and encouraging shy girls. The trouble with most shy girls is they adopt their method and stick to it right through. You should always change your method with your man. A Thousand Miles on Horseback. A man named Brown, who hails from u^ar Portland, Oregon, drove 100 head of horses all the way from Oregon to the Hagwilghet valley, near the headwaters of the Skeena river. The animals were sold to the Indians and brought high prices. He was accompanied by his wife, who rode the whole distance (over a thousand miles of wild country) on horseback. Brown reports having passed through some beautiful valleys, suitable for farming and stock raising. He left Oregon early in May and reached Hagwilghet valley in July. Acted Wisely in Changing Her Name. A lady in St. Catherines, Ontario, whose relatives in England reside near those of the family of Birchall, who was executed in Woodstock last fall for the murder of Ben well, has received a letter in which it is stated that mrs. Birchall was married there within 6 weeks after her arrival home from Canada. . F. Teetzel & Co. DEALERS IN OIHIIEIMIIO^-I^S-, PATENT MEDICINES, TOILET ARTICLES, ETC. WHOLESALE I&EALEKS IN CIGA'KS.

EJ>BTOBMAL KKHIAKKS. It cannot be^ain'sayed that the recent census ��������� I' ' "���������������������������.. ' : .. ������������������ " ��������� of Canada was disappointing, and especially so to the native-born .Canadians���������a people that cannot; be cliarged with lack of self-reliance, whatever their other shortcomings. They can-' not understand why it is that thousands of im- inigi-ants land on our shores every-year and so few of. them remain to become identified with the,country; thev cannot understand why thous- and's of young Canadians, emigrate to the United States as soon as they reach their .majority-, and why so few of these young emigrants return dissatisfied with the republic and its institutions. Some attribute it to one cause and some to another. Some attach all the blame to the National Policy, claiming that it is paralyzing .and pauperizing the country; yet they cannot explain why it is that the. people who leave Canada emigrate to a country where the protective systern isvsti'()ngly eiifrenched.������ Some attach the blame to the rigorous climate; yet the climate of Canada is equally as salubrious as that of the states and territories of the republic whose populations are largely made up of Canadians.' ���������While the above-mentioned causes may have some effect, yet their influence is certainly small. In the older provinces, as in the older New England states, the young men long for the opportunity to get away from irksome duties or labors, for which they receive small compensation. This longing, coupled with the desire to see. the world, takes them to the western states; states whose areas are large and whose natural resources are of grea.t variety, and whose people, speaking the same language, are not en- tirelv st rangers to them. These together with the fact that wages are generally 25 per cent higher in the United States than in Canada, are the main reasons why our population has not increased as rapidly as it should. As it is with the native-born Canadians, so it is with the immiT grants who land .on our shores. Tliey soon learn that the eldorado they hoped to find by crossing the Atlantic is farther on, and they go farther on; but always in the same direction ���������to the south. Then, in regard to immigrants, it is difficult to determine the final destination of those who land at Canadian ports, thousands of them merely being en transit to the United States. Instead of crediting Canada with S50,- 000 immigrants in the last 10 years, one-half that number would be nearer the total of those who landed intending to make Canada their home. Then, again, may not the system of government prevailing in Canada have something to do with the emigration of the native- born element? The average young man likes to take part in governmental affairs; likes to vote, to hold office, and be a power in the land. In Canada he can vote once in a while for a member of parliament or a member of the local legislature or a member of a town or township council; but he has no voice in the selection of the thousand arid one executive officials. But once in the United States and naturalized, he can vote early and often, hold office, and wield an influence that often is a power in the state of his adoption. Low wages, a narrow home restraint, and political restriction have more to do with the smallness of the increase of our population than the National Policy and the rigorous .climate. ���������'\'v: ' ..������������������������������������. : ������������������ ,.'''���������'���������' The latest reports 'from Ottawa are that Lan- gevin, the boodling minister of public works, has asked that his resignation be accepted. Of course it will be accepted, with profuse regrets, by premier Abbott. Thus are the people educated to condone official dishonesty. If inr. Langevin had been suspended from office during the investigation of tlie charges made against him,' and. promptly arrested as soon as the charges were'..substantiated, the people would in time belie ve that t he laws are in tended for the ���������official thief as well as for .the't;private citizen who filches property that does not belong to him. The "Vancouver World, in announcing the fact that the Canadian Pacific steamship Empress of Japan lowered her former record in crossing the Pacific ocean, says the "noble vessel" steamed through the narrows at Vancouver at the rate of about 15'knots an hour. The "noble vessel" made that record only to land on our shores 27 saloon passengers, 16 second-class passengers, and 237 Chinese in the, steerage. A "noble" enterprise indeed���������peopling our province with heathen Chinese. ___ Governor Colcord of Nevada warns people against rushing to the newly-boomed Pine Nut mining district in his state. To begin with, the ground'in the vicinity of the original discoveries has all been staked out, and there is nothing yet to prove that there is gold under these locations. There are still plenty of .-'men to rush to new diggings on small provocation. The Pine Nut district is not so remote-as to make its prospecting a great under-taking, and hopeful miners may not starve there, but many may leave places where they are doing fairly well on a wild goose chase. .

The Pomiiiioia Voters' List. To the Editor of The Miner: The Karri- loops Sentinel reports an interview with mr. justice Walketn anent the Dominion voters'list. The judge intimates that he has received very little assistance in the work of making up the list. Lest those who have requested me to send their names should think that I have neglected to do so, I wish to say through The Miner that I have sent to the judge all the names of which X could get track as heing eligible. I have no doubt that many are yet overlooked. I understood the judge to say, that before finally closing the list he would hold a court of revision in Nelson, and that he would add the names of belated applicants; also that foreigners desiring naturalization could be accommodated at the same time. The elevation of the member for our district to the gubernatorial chair* or to the cabinet, or the dissolution of parliament���������all of which are probabilities���������would bring on an election in the district. In which event (unless, of course, the election should be run, as it was last winter, by the returning officer alone) any public-spirited citizen would regard the right to vote as better than $'10 in his pocket. Notice of the date of the session of the court of final revision will, I suppose, be given through all the local papers. G. O. Buchanan. Nelson, September 10th. Fine Potatoes. The Miner has all along contended that there are many small areas of land in the lake country on which vegetables could be grown, and its contentions are frequently backed up by the actual vegetables. G. H. Andrews, who is engaged in prospecting and doing assess ment work on claims near Nelson, puts in his spare time gardening. This spring he planted a small patch of ground, near the railway depot, in potatoes. The result of his labor is as fine a lot of Early Roses as was ever exhibited in any country, many of them weighing over a pound, and one fine specimen weighing 26 ounces. B NOTARY PUBLIC.

The Miner maintains that the silver question is of as much importance to the people of British Columbia and Canada as it is to the people of the United States. It therefore quotes the following from the Salt Lake Tribune, which should be read with interest: "A year ago congress made a compromise: and performed just half its duty, by passing a law that the governinent should buy or use silver to the amount of $4,500,000 per month. At that time silver was worth 97 cents; three weeks later it was worth $1.21 and strangely enough wheat in Chicago and butter and all the products of the plantation and the,farm advanced in the same ratio, and so vital was the influence at work that even the Bibles in far off India advanced in the same ratio. Was anyone ruined by that advance? Was the financial fabric of the country "shaken to its very foundations" by it? The golclites, fearing the inevitable, made frantic efforts. They got in three and one-half million ounces from Europe and ten million ounces from Mexico and stopped the advance. If they had not hurried, in two weeks more silver would have been on a parity with gold in London, New York, and the world around, and the two metals would have been equalized. Would that have everlastingly smashed things? The whole cry is but an appeal to the ignorant prejudices of men. The wisest financiers declare that there is not gold enough in the world to make a foundation from which the trade of the world must be measured and reckoned; that there must be either an increase in the money or there must be such a slowing down as will cause universal panic ���������and. infinite loss. There is nothing else to use except silver, and the only thing needed in addition to what we have is that silver shall not be kept the vassal of gold; that the restrictions upon silver shall he removed, until when a man contracts a debt payable in specie it shall be understood that silver is just as good money and just as honest money to pay that debt in as'gdld. And with that done, the inflation which has been going on for 15 years will be removed. Gold will be-worth relatively Jess, when measured by property, and now the work of men which results in a loss will result in a little gain. When that shall be done, the money which is now hoarded in the cities will be seeking investment in the country. Capitalists will no longer loan to cities and to the government money at 2 or 3 pet'cent per annum, because in legitimate business they can make a good deal more than that; and the congestion, the stagnation, and the unrest which fills every business man's mind with apprehension now will be removed, and the metropolitan press of the east will be the stillest set of newspapers on the money question that anybody ever saw. A t-atccliisiir for Use in Public Schools. Question���������What is the name of your country? Answer���������Canada. Q.���������What is its form of government? A.':��������� Constitutional. V Q.���������Has it a good constitution ? A.��������� Theoretically it has. Q.���������Why theoretically? A.��������� Because practically it has had a severe strain, which is always bad for a constitution. Q.���������What is the nature of this shock? A.��������� Well, its head has been run against a "cross- wall." Q.���������Anything else? A.���������Yes: it has had a terrible "dredging," and been nearly pumped dry in one or two "graving docks." Q.���������Is that all? A.���������No; it has been terribly worried by "Jack" Arnold's "bronze dogs" and in other ways it has been dreadfully abused. Q.���������How has all this happened? A.���������The men in charge of the constitution have been more anxious for place and pelf than principle. Q.���������Cannot these men be changed? A.���������Yes: if the people choose to do so. Q.���������Do they not? A.���������They have not so far1. Q.���������Did they know what was being done? A. ���������They must have had a shrewd suspicion. Q.���������Why, then, did they not turn the rascals out? A.���������Because the men cunningly gave many of them "pap" and "hoodie" and they consented that they should stay. Q.���������Did not these men know that evil was being done? A.���������Yes; but they would rather" wreck the constitution than hurt the party. Cor. Baker and Ward Sts. NELSON, B. C.
