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.

The cause of the delay in the transmission of the- president's message was that the administration had received advices from General Lee at Havana saying that. Americans could not be gotten off the island this week and would be in grave peril if the' message proceeded their departure. The second reason given was that the 'Spanish governmeht had decided to re-open the case in order to avert impending war'ar^ to mal^'eoncesisions heretofore refused.
