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.

The Nile ' Expedition. A letter from the Transvaal tothe London. Times says that matters still have a most serious aspect. In the event of a racial war, the Transvaal would pnt 20,000 men into the field and 30,000 more would be mustered from the Orange Free State and from among the Dutch residents of Natal and the Cape. All kinds of munitions of war are pouring into the Transvaal and large orders for guns and ammunition are being sent to Germanlirmsr- ^--~ Kecent advices from Buluwayo indicate that the beleftgured town is in serious danger. For some time no natives had appeared near the town aud it was hoped that they had withdrawn after seeing thnt the fortifications were impregnable. Accordingly Capt. Napier made a recon nuisance with a small force of 200 meu. He was surprised to fiud the Matabele iu great force only 5 or 6 miles away. He was obliged to tall back on the .town with the unwelcome'' news. It is estimated that there are 1_,000 Matabele iu iho neighborhood. Keen observers aver that there are i_.li_'-tioiiH ot Boer influence and handling in the movements of tbe natives aud tbe idea is gaining ground \"that the Burghers of the Transvaal would be only ioo glad to join the Mutabcle in their fining stgai-st the British.-^ If this is tbe cose a war of the lirst magnitude is imminent in Africa. It is estimated thnt over 200 white settlers have beeu massacred by the Matabele. On the Nile the British forces are advancing with the gieatest precision aud in the most methodical manner on Akasheh which1 has beep, fixed upgn as tho basis of operations. As th<3 army advances a strategic railway isJ being constructed. Fighting is reported from Khartum, in which oOO ot the Khalifa's body guard are reported to have been killed. NAKIJSP.

In a corner ot tlio room stands a tall clock, as chorus; Its utterances appear articulate to the men according to thoir respective lines of thought. Whilo playing, they remain silent, or spoak casually concerning tho game. The slgniflcent episodes take place between the hands, while cutting for partners, and during; the deal. The clook, as prologue, strikes 9. detaching the syllables it says to the four players:' Here-we-all-are-for-a:gaine-of-whist! Emmons: Let us cut around. To you, Judge. c Fletcher: You and I, Mr, Emmons. Apgar (to himself): Mine is the queen of hearts! If that were really true. Edith I Anyhow, I shall try to give your father a good impression of myself as a whist player. 'Tis no joke, a game with these older men, who take it seriously. Ferguson: Your deal, Emmons. Emmons (starts, then says to himself): My deal I No allusion intended to my railroad deal, of course. (Apgar cuts the cards, Emmons deals). Fletcher: I hope, Ferguson, that I may not have incurred the displeasure of Mrs. Ferguson by persuading you to stay for a game this evening. Ferguson: Who can cell, Judge? But I'm suro that the game will be worth the candle, unless she keeps it burning until rhy return. You see, our compact is: Two \"evenings out\" in the week, and she not to. sit up for me. But this is an extra��������� there's no knowing what may happen. However, as my wifo is a very nice girl and a good comrade,\"I may hope that she will let me off with a light sentence. Emmons (to himself): A light sentence! (Aloud): No doubt the court will be lenient with you, Ferguson. Fletcher: In fact, I myself ought to be at home this evening. There is a trying caso liable to come before me for action tomorrow; I ought to bo preparing for it.. My conscience smites me for\" neglect of duty. Butthe matter, has been on my mind all day; perhaps it may as well be got aside for this evoning. Apgar: Surely that is better, Judge. Emmons (to himself): If it should be the investigation of our railroad! I got a hint of something of the sort, this afternoon. Suppose that he should grant an injunction, and in courso of the investigation find out my connection with the affair! Then good-by to Miss Edith and her two millions; good-by to the Construction Company and its deals; good-by to this club and the men here���������by Jovo, tho othor things could be gotten over easier than that. Because a good name is the soul's Immediate jewel���������qn which you can always raiso cash with your confiding uncle, the public. (They play. Judge Fletcher and Em- ������ons win.)

I bog ten thousand pardons, Apgar, for my absent-mindedness. Apgar: I'm afraid that I too was ub- stractod, for I did not notice the omission. Fletcher: The vigor of tho game, my dear fellows, the vigor of tho game! *_. Apgar: Wo will do our best, Judge. Ferguson (to himself): Clarence is certainly doing his best to mako a' good running with tho Judge. Well,- I wish him succoss, and hope that ho and Miss Edith may be as happy as Nelly and I. But they must mako clear terms about his evenings out. I wish I knew-whether Nell will sic' up waiting, for me���������I don't bellevo it of her! ' Apgar (to himself): I must buckle right down to the game. Charming vision of Mi3S Edith, disappear���������make yourself scarce! Fori am very mitch occupied to _ solidify myself with your father. If I should fail to finesse, or to answer a call for trumps���������then I should find myself unlucky at cards, and, in consequence, not lucky in love.

Construction, injunction, sentence���������they have a most alarming way of using language this evening ! All my nerves are on the outside tonight. Apgar: Your deal, Emmons.' Emmons (laughing artificially): Oh, quite so. Yes. My deal. Will you cut? (To himself) Which is what I would like to do, cut and run. Apgar: That is a great horse of Phil Millens'. Has got all the gaits under the ���������Midi.; trots square to a gig. Ferguson: Millen isn't trying to soil him to you, is he? Apgar: I think not. Anyway, my oob, Billy Boy, is good enough for me; I like Billy, and Billy, reciprocates. I'm no* changing over my stables for one horso. Fletcher: Yon aro right. Stick to your cob that suits you. There Is only one thing harder to find, thoy say, than a perfect horso, and that is a perfect wifo. You seem to have done well so far. I was looking at your horse yesterday, here In front of the club. . May you do as well in the othor venture, when you come to it, my boy! Apgar: Thank you, Judge. I accept tho omen. Emmons (to himself): That fellow is well off! Nothing on his mind. He can look at the old man straight in the face, and swallow his patronizing speeches and scolding, like a hollow tooth with a base nerve, among a trio of dentists. Well, I rather think that the Judge sees that Apgar, wants to marry the girl, and ii favorable. Meanwhile, from the looks which he cast upon me, I fear that the trying affair that he spoke about, means trying me at an investigation. Who can have given away tho Construction Company? Curse him, whoever he is! There Is an ugly lot of things which must come out in the examination. On the other hand���������there's another lot of ugly things which will not come out, being my private affairs.

On Tuesday last a telegram was received in town which was at once published in a special edition of The Minei* and scattered far and wide, it announced that the Minister of Railways had given notice of a motion in the Dominion House of Commons that it was 'expedient to authorize the Governor General in Council to make a loan to the Canadian Pacilic Hailway of an amount in money equal to $20,000 per mile for a railroad from Lethbridge or McLeod to Nelson, B. C. loan to be paid on or before July 1916, with interest at rate of 3. per cent.' By the time that these lines are in print the result of the motion will probably be known. Such a motion would hardly be introduced unless it ���������was fairly certain to be carried, but at the same time nothing is certain in politics. At Ottawa things are a little shaken up anyhow, this motion was on the order paper for the day before the prorogation, and we cannot be certain at this time of writing that it will pass. But it is pleasant just for once to sit down and contemplate thiough the rosy mists of hope what il means. It means a good deal for Nelson. Itis the only unfulfilled aspiration of her early settlers. They have already seen two railways reach her gates, the Silver King mine has passed into the hands of a powerful English company, their smelter is running and pouring a flood of silver iuto their lap. Numerous steamers ply at our busy wharves. The electric light blazes on * very hand. Wholesale houses are making Nelsou their headquarters, while on ev.ry side the residence* of her well to do citizens add at once a homelike and metropolitan aspect to the town. Now to crown all. the Crow's Nest Pass line is to be built. This is the great consummation of all our hopes. The construction of this line is more to Nelson than the British Pacific can ever be to Victoria. It will make her easily the largest and most important inland city of the Province. Indeed if only the mines keep up to their present form there is no reason why Nelson should not have a population of 50,1X10 within 10 years. Johannesburg did it with not half her advantages. The line of railway as at present suiveyed from McLeod to Nelson is about 310 miles in length, of which 40 lie to the eastward of the Rockies. The remaining 270 are in British -Columbia.__After_leaving..the_,CrowJs. Nest Pass and coming westward the. proposed route, follows Michell River down to the Elk River a tributary of the Kootenay. The line runs down the Elk for some 20 miles then cuts across the fork and strikes the Kootenay. Crossing the latter it runs up its right bank to Cranbrook and then makes a sharp bend southwards to the \"Moyie Lake. From the Moyie River which it leaves about 15 miles below the Lake it crosses tile main divide of the Selkirks to the Goat River. Here a big loop is necessary in order to reach the . level of the Kootenay meadows. Since the railway last saw the Kootenay that erratic stream has been for a trip into the United States. The line now crosses it again just where the river runs into Kootenay Lake. It- follows up the west shore of the lake to the point opposite Balfour and then comes down the outlet to Nelson. A necessary corollary of the construction of this line is the completion of the connection between Nelson and Nakusp and also from Nakusp on to Arrowhead. The limits of an article do not allow of all the possibilities being stated, but we leave it feeling that when we hear that Mb. Haggart's motion is passed, Nelson will have heard the most welcome news that ever has reached her. Now it is just possible that this paragraph was written somewhat hurriedly and that it does not really contain the author's meaning, for it may be taken as certain that neither Jthe President nor the directors intend or desire for one moment to go behind their duties. The chief duty of a public hospital, wholly or partially supported by Government funds is to take in and care for those very persons who are quite without means and who but for its gentle charity would become charges on some private individual. We may say with pride first that there are very few people here absolutely without means, and secondly that no one however poor is permitted in this country to go houseless or hungry nor if he be striken with illness is he allowed to die in his tracks. In the great book where all mens deeds are recorded, large amounts of charity are entered to the credit of the holel keepers of the Far West. Unfortunately there are a number ol* people who are content to avail themselves of this charity, as paupers, and who afterwards when they are in funds forget to renumerate the institution for the care they received. It is against this class of men that the President's remarks are directed* It is owing to their selfish tactics that the Hospital finds itself now short of funds aud may indeed have to close its doors. It must be remembered tbat if private hospit-ils are established, they will not receive the man who it linfcble to pay his shot. They will be run as commercial concerns with the one object of pouring dollars into the pockets of their proprietors. There will benoroom in them for the helpless and friendless. This should be remembered by those who have a dollar a month to contribute, it is worth taking note of. After soma terrible accident such as is always possible in a mining country a man sleeps all the sounder if he thinks that his scarcely missed dollar is helping to ease the pain of the sufferers, Rich people of course can look after themselves. It is the poor man who lias to be thought of in this case. THE PARLIAMENT OF 1S96. Parliament was prorogued on the 17th. The ceremony which was a quiet one was probably , the last that will take place in the old chamber. It is expected ili-tt the new building will be ready in time for the uext session. Sixty two bills are the result of our legislators work, among which two are of the greatest importance to this country. These are the Assessment Bill aud the new Mineral Bill. The copies of these two as finally passed have uoi yet reached us, and until they do it is impossible to describe them, as many amendments were proposed at the last moment, The;Assessment Bill was so continuously altered that it was almost imposible from day to day to say in what form it was, or in what condition it stood before the House. We believe that as it finally passed, it was not altegether in the same shape as it was when the delegates left it. The Bill will probably give rise to a good deal of discussion and will meet with further opposition, and may even be disallowed by the Dominion authorities, on one, if not on two points. The objection to it is not so much against the tax it imposes as against its discrimination and partiality. It might very easily be made : to produce more revenue_with-_ out pressing so hardly on any one in particular. We refer of course to that portion of the Bill which deals with thetaxation of mines. There are no other public Acts of any particular importance to the district but several private bills materially atlecting interests in the Kooteuay have found their way into the Statute Book. Amongthem are Acts respecting the Nelson Electric Light Co., the B. C. Southern and Columbia & Western Railway Companies. Sandon and Rossland have now authority to supply themselves with water and there is an Act dealing with the Nelson and Vernon Telephone Co. NOTES. With millions in their eye for the Crow's Nest Pass Railway why could not the Dominion government grant us a.paltry $2000 for a County Court Judge? o We understand that ���������\" Mr. John Houston has finally- made up his mind not to waste his own time and his friends' money in contesting the Dominion election. '' THE-. HOSPITAL. Mb. G. O. Buchanan, President of the Kootenay, Lake General Hospital Society has favored us with an account of the recent history of the institution Which will be found elsewhere. The position which chiefly affects the public and with which it is our duty to deal, lies in the latter part. Here the President states that until the Society has Had an opportunity of recuperation it will be unable to receive any patients other than those who are entitled to its shelter by reason of their monthly payments, or who may be J\"..'>le to give satisfactory assurances of i-ting able to pay for the attention they receive. Part of the enormous increase in the revenue of Great Britain is said to be owing to the recent boom in South African and other mining shares. There was an increase during the year of over a hundred thousand dozen of champagne consumed in' England. This is credited to stork brokers and their clients who celebrated their winnings or drowned their losses in the flowing bowl. Judging from the advertisements of some of the mining brokers iu the coast papers the bowl will be wanted here before long. At present whiskey is good enough for us in Kootenay. In spite of the warnings that were printed by the entire press of the Pacific coast numbers of men went la_t year to Alaska. Many were with out means and thep have had to under go terrible sufferings from the rigorous climate in consequence. Something of the same kind is happening in Kootenay, Many men in the coast cities ;md in Winnipeg and even farther east, are throwing up their occupations and bending their steps to the great El Dorado of the Selkirks. Most of these people are clerks in stores or offices, their hands are soft, they are unfit for the hard work of mining. To such our advice is, stop away. There is little work for which they are suitable offering and there are already plenty of men to fill every vacancy. As time goes on more of this class of men will be required, but there is always likely to be a plethora of them. At the same time if a smart active young man can come with enough money to last him six months and take him back again, a summer in the hilis will do him no harm and he is just as likely to make a find as anyone else. .PKOFE-SIOSAL CAKD-.

VV. J. K., Gall, Ont.���������There are two Mining Exchanges in B. C. one at Victoria and the other at Vancouver. The secretary of the former is F. Elworthy and of thelatter Thos. Williamson. There are several good looking prospects on the market, and many that it would be as well to leave alone. We cannot advise on. these matters. CORRESPONDENCE. have hisrh recommendations from competent authorities in England as to experience and competency in hospital management. I may add Mr. Editor that the hospital is now full of patients and that the fundi in the hands of the Directors for the treatment of non-paving patients have been long since exhausted. Until the Board-has had a chance for financial recuperation it will be impossible for them to admit patients who are not entitled to the privileges ot membership unless tbe maintenance of such applicants is fully provided for in advance. I nm Sir, Your obedient servant, .G. O. Buchanan, President K. L. G. H. Society. SOUTH AFRICA. Latest Intelligence. The Xelson Hospital. To the Editor. Sir,���������At a meeting of the Board of Directors of tbe Kootenay Lake General Hospital held on March 2_th. A resolution waa 'passed directing the secretary to write to each of the three physicians resident in Nelson requesting them io undertake tha duties of hospital attendance for. terms of one month each in rotation. At a meeting of the Board held on April 14th the secretary reported that he had sent to Drs. LaBan, Arthur and Symonda the following letter. Kootenay Lake Qeneral Hospital Society March 26,189������. . Dear &ib,���������At a meeting of the Directors of the above Society a resolution was unanimously passed as follows;. That the secretary write the three resident physic-, ians of Nelson-asking them to undertake the duties of physicians tothe hospital for one month each in rotation for the next 12 months at an honorarium of 825 per month. The Board of Directors are anxious to secure tbe hearty cooperation. ot the physicians of Nelson with a view to pnt- tingthe hospital in as efficient a state as possible. They are unable to offer what tbey consider adequate .enumeration, .wing to tbe financial condition ofthe Society but they trust that you will be willing to aid, as much as possible,, a work of such reoognized usefulness, and public benefit. Au early expression of your views will much oblige, . Yours truly, W. A. Jowktt,'Hoik Sec. :. To this letter replies have been received as follows. Nelson, April 14,1896. , Mb. W. A. Jowktt, Nelson, B.C. ... BJy Dear Sir;���������In answer to your letter of March 26th I would say: that while I think the resolution of the Directors of the Hospital therein contained, re medical attendance, is impracticable. I . am willing to give it a trial provided the other physicians of tbe town are also willing to do tlie same, but that I am led to believe they will not do. The scheme proposed would render the drug bills unnecessarily large because it would necessitate the sending of allprescriptions \"t6~~dfhg stores, or the currying of a very considerable stock of drugs at tbe bospi- ��������� tal, as no two physicians would use the same remedies, the same may be said of the question of equipment although in that matter the difference would not be '���������o great'' .. Iu tbe place of. the scheme proposed I have nothing better'to recommend than something similar to tbe proposition contained iu my letter to the Board under date of Feb. 10th, bnt, if as I am informed, a private hospital is about to ' be established iu Nelson, I should not . care to undertake the management of the hospital alone under that arrangement. I tbink it possible that another physician might consent to join me in some such scheme - provided - the Board or a committee thereof made the proposition. I nm very willing to aid the Board in its efforts to place the hospital upon a better footing, but I think an arrangement should be made whereby the medical attendants, for after all the h<*uvy part of tbe work must fall upon them, could receive a fair remuneration for their work in case the institution were madi* a success, I am, Yours very truly, , E. 0. Arthur. Nelson, B. C, March 31,1896. Dkar Sir,���������In reply to your letter of the 26th iost. I beg to state.tbat I must r.spectf ully decline at present to give my services on behalf of your Society to an indetiuite number of people on the. terms ���������you mention. I am \"dear sir, Yours faithfully, G. H. H. Symondb, M.D. To Mb. W. A. Jowett. No reply was received from Dr. LaBau. A committee of the Board was appointed to confer with Drs. Arthur and Symonds iiaii to ascertain if there was any practicable basis upon which thsy would jointly undertake tbe hospital work. These gentlemen a^ter talking the matter over fully with t!:e committee nud taking time lo _j_-ii!-i; replied that they could not -UErgefit nny -itch-basis. Iu view uf-this result the Board have ������u< borized a committee consisting of the . prti-idt-ui, secretary and tiuance committee) to o>iuiunuicate with any qualified physiei-ii resident or dou.resident and if ' possible to si-euro one who will reside at the hos, itul aud jiivo primary attention to its inmate*.

There is an appreciable sense' of relief over the news that a supply train from Mafliking has got through to Buluwayo and that reinforcements of Imperial troops from Mafeking ate being rapidly pushed forward to the relief of t.he place which is to all intents and purposes beleaguered, being so closely invested by the natives that numerous skirmishes are occuring almost in Vhe outskirts of the town.
