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.

(Continued on .th P__- Quitc a sensation was created in Kaslo last Sunday by un effort ou the part of some ot the members of the Church of England to forcibly keep Rev. H. S. Akehurst from occupying the pulpit ou that day. It resulted in the arrest of Mr. Akehurst and there is considerable speculation iu regard to what action he will take iu tbe matter. It appears that the trouble arose over the so called high church practices; a few members taking exception to.them aud re'raiuiug from taking the course manifestly open to them of appealing to the bishop of the diocese. They evidently took matters into their own hands which culminated in debarring Rev. Akehurst from entering the church last Suuday. On that morning Mr. Akehurst found an iron bar stretched across the church door aud padlocked. Ou the door was a notice issued by Mr. E. V. Twiss to the effect that anyone entering the building would be arrested aud prosecuted. Mr. Twiss signed the document as.chairman of the building committee. Mr. Akehurst inquired of a constable who was there, to produce his authority for hindering him from entering. The constable replied that his authority, was from the signer of the notice. Mr. Akehurst, evidently uot recognizing the authority, broke the padlock and entered the church and the constable placed him under arrest. He was taken before Mayor Green who stated that he considered Mr. Akehurst the only person who had the authority of the building aud he could therefore do nothing in the matter. He advised the constable to set his prisoner at liberty and as soon as this was done, Mr. Akehurst proceeded to the church, where he held services as usual. "When Mr. Akehurst arrived at the church for evening service he fouud a liue of meu drawn up iu frout of the church door and among them were Mr. John Keene aud a special constable. Mr. Akehurst made a formal demand for admittance, but Mr. Keene refused to move fiuin his position. Mr. Akehurst however was soon allowed to go into the building ou condition that after he had collected certain personal effects he would at once come out again. He did so and then remarked to Mr. Keene that he hoped he was satisfied with the proceedings he had taken. He then turned to opeu the door but Mr. Keene saw his intention and pushed him away from the entrance. Mr. Akehurst. seeing that resistance was useless, left the enemy iu. possession and retired from the field and no services were held that evening. As far as known, the entire trouble arose because there was a cross on the communion table which Mr. Akehurst rofused to have removed. The chief dissenters are said to be the families of Mr. Twiss and Mr. Keene and they contended that the cross was not legal iu the Church of England, notwithstanding the declaration ofthe bishop that it was perfectly legal. The discussion has been in progress since Easter time and as the request to have the cross removed was uot complied with, it appears that summary measures were takeu.

The magistrate imposed a line of .$50 or two months in jail and as an appeal bond would not be ac cepted, Dr. Arthur put,up the S50 and gave notice of appeal. It appears that according to Inspector Wooley, Dr. .Arthur lias Deea maintaining a nuisance at both In. home and'at his store building. Instead of complying with the regulations which require that all householders . shall maintain box closets*. l)v. Arthur litis maintained deep pits which lie claims arc much healthier wheu kept thoroughly disinfected..

HALL MINES NOTES. The Siew Fu-iiuees Will Moon b<*. t.'om- pleleil. The Hall's Mines Smelter has been running constantly during the past week nnd the new stack has, worked to perfection. The foundation of the new blast furnace is nearly iu and the. machinery for it is on the road, some having already arrived. No time will be -lost in getting into position. -The new reverborator and roaster, furnaces are being rapidly constructed and in the course of two or three weeks will have beeu completed. All these new structures go to make the hill look like a new townsite. if: The assay otlice is kept busy, 'as samples of ore from various,- mines from all parts of the disliict-, even as fur as Trout Lake'are .being sent iu to see if they will suit the smelter company. Mauy of them are pionounced to "'be suitable and will probably be received by the*smelter. "All -this goes to show that there are many mines in this district tbat propose to ship ore to the smelter during-the winter. THE KOKANEE CLAIMS. Mine Owner* Kcfi!*-- lo IHschh*. Them la Any Way. Patrick W. George.'Christoper Sherbut and B. W. "Willey who bonded the Florence, Molly Gibson, Aspeu and Achilles 200, to R. H. Pope, of Quebec, were down from Kokanee creek last week. "MiC_Geoi^e_'"auli_MiTSirerb"ut~we~re~8eei^ by a Mineb representative_, but they absolutely iefused to say auy tiling about their claims or about -Kokanee-creek further than that for a distance of'twelve miles beyond Gray's ranch the creek was literally plastered with claims, among which were many good ones. It was understood that the group under bond would be worked during the entire wiuter. Messrs. George aud Sherbut refused to give auy information whatever in regard to the assays from any of the Kokanee claims. the republican national couveulion _������d -with his election fie nation has declared iUelC for protection and the gold standard. AUbough the count of the ballots has not yet been completed, sullicient is known to remove all possibility of doubl in regard to the result. Hun. James K. Jones, chairmau of the .Democratic National committee, who managed the campaign for the silver candidate, Wm. J. Bryan, has'abuudaued all hope and conceded the electiou to McKinley. He says that they will continue the 'struggle and the democratic parly, uidei"! by its present allies will uplift the binie- talic standard aud bear it on to victory. W. J. Bryan, has also given up al! hope and.has seut a telegram of congratulation to McKinley. The returns are very incomplete but the following electoral votes are conceded to William McKinley: Connecticut, 6; Illinois, 24; Iowa, 13; Maine, li: Maryland 8; Massachusetts 15; Michigan 14; Minnesota 9; New Hampshire 4; Ne:. Jersey 10; Mew York 36; Ohio 2.; Pennsylvania 32; Rhode Isiaud 4; Vermont 4; Wisconsiu 12; Deleware 4; total 224. Tlie< votes conceded to Bryan are, Alabama 12; ArkiiDsas 8; Colorada 4; Florida 4; Georgia 13; Idaho 3; Louisiana 8: Mississippi 9; Missouri 17; Montana 8; Nevada 3; South Corolina 0; Tennesso 12; Texas 15; Utah 3; Virginia 12: total 135. This leaves 88 as doubtful but should Bryan secure all ol! them lie would still lack the number necessary to elect him. As the matter now stands McKinley aud Hobert will be the next president and vice-president of the U. S. The following special dispatch to The Miner was received at 10 o'clock this morning: ;. Spokane, Nov., 7,���������McKiuley has been elected next president beyond question, without tbe two states slill iu doubt- Kentucky and South Dakota.

The company, has just been stocked aiid sufficient provisions and supplies have been seut up to the mines to keep ten men.working for eight months- Five tons of ore have been shipped from the outer works which went 156 ounces. The idea of the company is to hold the No. 2 ore which goes 50 ounces to the ton, until a train is put in to ship it. Only the high.grade ore is being shipped now. ' "The lower level tunnel is in over 300 feet and it is' expected - that ore will be struck at any time," said Mr. Proctor. i "When ore is struck, an uprise will be ! made to the upper level.

Sectiou 38 specifies tho three ways in which sewerage is to be-disposed or, and no oMier way however good, is allowable. The lirst is by connection with a public system of sewerage. We should all be glad to make use of this method, but there is no public system. The second is by drainage into a ee-ss-lanlc lnndc of galvanized iron or brick set iu come. I, branching from which is a system of subsoil irrigation drains laid between tell io fourteen inches uuder the surface, and so arranged that the sewage may be discharged either iutormilleiitly or alter uately through different portions of the system." This wc may use although frost may tender it worse than useless-for four mouths every winter. The third is by the water tight receptacles placed above the surface of the grouud many of which arc today among the most disgusting nuisances in Nelson. This ia admittedly a temporary system to be used only until n sewer is built, the pipes for which aie already ordered. Then why arc the people at the beginning of Ihe winter put to the trouble and expense of changing from o.e temporary system to another which lhey may be compelled to abandon beroie spring. lu court', the inspector said lam opeuly opposed lo the dry earth system and pressed for a heavy sentence because as a medical health officer I was setting an evil example in resisting the regulations 1 had been appointed to assist iu enforcing. I am openly opposed to compelling people to go to the expense of installing the dry earth system when in a few mouths they will be compelled to abandon it. It is time our town wi:s incorporated, Then these matters could be managed as Ihe common sense of the people should appoint. lil.'C. ARTHUR, M, D. Nelsou, November 4th, 18lJ0. A BED OF MICA.

A number of locations have receutly bs-eu made in tbat. district, but west ot thc Lower Arrow lake, in Fiie Valley. Mr. Longley found nothing. *** iJltllltCH NO-I-KS: DOING GEEAT W0EK.

We aie eagerly wailing tn learn which way that great "silver-wave" is travelling. The acquittal of Henry Seifl'ert in Spokane of the mmder-bf LewH.Plattor seems to give general satisfaction. The Spokesman-Review says thnt Spokane county has not elected a single republican.'.- If this is so the "sore head*' ranks wtll be greatly augmented. Now tbat the U.S. presidential election i_ over, the newspapers v/iil refrain from calling bad names and the''people will settle down to legitimate busiuess. "Marched for Gold" is the way the Spokesman-Review describes a big McKinley parade in New York. We nave always understood that wlieu gold was iu sight, the dear people would tbink "maiching" slow work. ' Slocau City is to have a weekly uews-. paper and it will make its first appear a nee next Saturday with 13. R. Young as publisher.

Tbe fume of the "Kootenay district is spreading all over the world aud newspapers of the United States wonder,that tbe Canadian government and the iiuan- ci.i's*' do iiot realize its value and extent and endeavor to control its business as against Americau enterprise. Few. strangers visit Nelson who do uot ask the Dame of thc mountaiu just across the lake und are surprised to learn that it is nameless. For the sake ot indeuti- licatiou it should "have a uame aud The MiNEn. respectfully suggests,., that it be known as Mount Nelson. The strnw ballot taken iu Nelson last Tuesday, on the presidency and vice- presidency of the. Uuited States would Hcem to suggest tbat this town .ia,."for silver,- three to one. The Democrats across the border," prior to the geueral election, thought that that couutry would go silver, sixteen to one. _, 0 The Edmonton Bulletin iu its issue of October" 2. devotes three columns on its - '���������. editorial page as to whether Edmontou merchants cau enter into success'ul competition with Spokane merchants.for the Kootenay trade and the opinion expressed is that although they are heavily handicapped, they can, if tbey send only the best; quality of the things they produce. The article is a comprehensive one nnd shows the results of much careful study and calculation. Five years ago newcomers to the Kootenay... country "were informed that the district bad been thorbughfy prospected aDd that all the good grouud had been taken up. .'lhe. statement was made in gco;l faith and many people sought other fields. Siuce that time, however, Ihere have been thousands upon thousands of locations recorded and innumerable -rich finds have been made. People now realize that the statement that "the country has been thoroughly prospected" means nothing and that, there are still many thousand good claims yet to be fonnd in this district, DuriDg the mouth of October there were over 550 new locations recorded in Nelson alone. THE AMERICAN ELECTION. The great presidential election of the United States was hold last Tuesday and leports thus far received at this writing, leave the result very much in doubt. The earlier reports show only tbe possible returns from the various states and the detail-- will probably not be known uulil next week bni that it was a lively and hotly contested election, there can be no doubt. The returns thus far seem to indicate that the gold men, with William McKinley as their standard bearer, have won the day and even the silver papers admit that the first returns were for McKinley. From the incomplete returns received, the republican congressional bureau figure that McKinley has received 281 electoral votes and Bryan (ii) voles, while 01 are in doubt. Thin however is, as yet, all guess work nud when complete returns arc iu it may have tlio effect ul changing the entire aspect of nlVairs. The democrats claim thai the reports sent nut in mauy cases have been misleading and that Mr. Bryan will certainly be thc next president of thc United State?-. At present, all is confusion and il is impossible to figure with any ce- taiuty upon the tefiult. On Tuesday the American people were intense and antagonistic* partisans but since the election they are countrymen with a common interest���������the welfare of their country. No matter who is elected the interests of all citizens of dillereut political faith are identical and they will now work as a unit for,lhe good of their country. The battle has beeu fought, wou and lost and the victors in taking up the reins of government will try to control them in the intsiests ot the musses. If Hryan is elected it may mean the tem- por.iry withdrawal of capital until the policy of the new government is defiu itely settled; but-as it is a well established fact that capital c:iunot nfiord to rcmaiu idle, it will, in thenalural course of things fiud its way back to legitimate c niuncls. Should McKinley be the victor, there will be no question as to the policy of the administration which is so well understood in America. The result ot a republican victory would.be. to immediately restore confidence and once more capital which has been withheld from circulation.for the past four years or more would seek investment. Major McKinley aud all his supporters are just as eager for the success of the couutry as auyone else and if it is demonstrated that the present standard will work adversely to the interests of the -people, there is uo doubt but that tbey will see that it is chauged, either by international agreement, or failing :-n that, ''without the help of siny other u a lion on earth." they are as.Miming vast porportious, necessitated by tbe ever increasing business and it will not be long before our institutions may rival those of our American cousins. THEY CANT BOOM 'TRAIL. Iu its last issue the Trail Creek News indignantly tells the Rosslaud papers that "lhey can't boom Trail." . It appears, according to the News, that there hns been a mistake made in regard to the present aud prospective capacity of tho Trail smelter and Rosslaud papers, feeling that the interests of Trail intimately concerned thcin, published a glowing account to the effect that the Trail smelter had increased its capacity to COO tous per day. The News says: "Thc management of thc smelter has uo intention of doubling the size of its buildings or of doubling the capacity of the plant. They have ordered one 250 ton blast furnncn the exact size of oue of tlieir seven furnaces and its installment will not increase the payroll at the smelter 100 names by any means. **** * * The smelter has no need to double its capacity yet awhile. Tho mines of Rossland are not producing over 300 tons of ore per day, or about 450 tous of ore, lime rock and coke, as the Nelson smelter counts its work. The capacity of the smelter today is 500 tons, aud the new furnace will bring it up to 750 tons���������bnt it will seldom, if ever, be run to that capacity.'* A CANADIAN REFINERY. A refinery for the treatment of Cauadiau ores to be built or assisted by the government, is what the Manitoba Free-Press is advocating. "Our government is paternal in respect to many things; why not iu regard to mining," says the Free-Press. "If guaranteed against loss, a refinery would speedily be provided, and this could be done by tbe payment of a permanent bonus of u small sum per ton.* * "* We are prone to boiist of our enterprise and to vow with greatest confidence tbat we fear no comparison with our neighbors, but the situation in the Kootenay is a standing rebuke to our vanity. * * * The first thing to be done with the Kootenay is to builda railway into it, and by capturing its trade make it once more a Canadiau passessiou." The Free-Press closes a loug and able argument on the subject with the words: "Let the country show its faith by its works, and thus spare itself the taunt of abandoning its resources to foreigners."

Akehurst- and some of the membcis of his congregation in Kaslo is sincerely to be regretted, for of all places where harmony ought to prevail it surely tliou.'d be iu thc bonne of God. It appears thai the dissentiug faction of tho church failed tu proceed regularly in the mailer iind-cus'- iug all established rules and foiiu-ito tin winds, took the case in their own liaiiil- and forcibly prevented him from occupying the pulpit. According to the canons of the church the bishop of the diocese would, have been the proper person to pass upon the matter aud an appeal to him would have preserved the dignity of the church and the decision of the- bishop would have been final to all parties concerned.

This time last year there were'but three mines producing ore which were tributary lo Slocau liilte, and these three only us pioneer.-* msikiiif,' small shipments under pros'icctora iiiiiiiiijjenient.. ��������� At present there are at least twelve shippers and mines under development by strong -ompniiie.=, nil of which give dm- promise or producing rich oro hcl'ore the bonds are finally token up." Of the ore bodie-j ii'iw being opened up for the lirsl time theie tire tour piiui.iij.il combinations us regards their composition and , these four seem to have a belt of country each which is characteristic of such ores. The ore of the California and Galena Kurm are such as are'common in the o - Slocan galena ore, The Enterprise nnd .Bondholder are examples of auother cinss.of ores well represented on Ten Mile creek. These nre rich combinations iu galena and zinc blend. ' The Topnz and Kalispell are distinct. in the nature of their vein tilling, carrying some of the richest ores of silver fouud. fchich as ruby silver, native silver aud combinations carrying what is locally known as nntimoi.ial silver. South of all these and mainly between Springer .creek and the main fork of Lemon creek is the distinct class of ore carrying argentine and gold. In these well represented ore bodies tiie vein filling is a coarsely crystallized quartz with coarse crystallized nrgentite, also argen- tite iu .a. liue powder-like condition, granular iron pyrites and free gold nnd silver, the latter usually as a natural alloy cairyiug somewhat less than linlf in ��������� gold. Such oies are the Howard Fraction, Meteor, Crusader and Chupleau and it must be remembered that the gold value . in these . ores is considerable, amounting to from one ounce"to six and seven ounces per ton. . Considering this last class of ore it becomes* an interesting question as to what is the proper way ��������� of treating. "Whether the values can be saved by concentration, and to what degree they are free milling. Connected with these characteristic ores of the Southern Slocan country are their peculiar country rocks. The whole district represented being outside the main body of the great Slocau limestone : and slate, iu rocks of a later formation than these are and filso more lately formed thau the great belt of Shuswap gneisses which form the mountains west of Lake Slocan. iSmall detached areas of limestones and slates upon Eight and Ten Mile creeks have apparently induced rich combinations in their vicinity,* and the.presence .of numerous djkes and more recent intrusive areas has had au important part jn'the production of all.these.orcs.- ��������� THE FAME OF KOOTENAY.

The JS'ew York Evening Post concludes a series of articles on British Columbia mines with the following comment: '.'Kooteuay is now possessed by Americans, aud their success is merited. While Canada dilly-dallies about providing a main line of the Canadian Pacific through the Crow's Nest Pass iuto the Kootenay, Americans own and operate at great pio- fit, three railways. Others are being built by them. If Cauada did half as much, justifying to the world her faith in Kootenay, the dream of a population .-of_-_100,C00.-witliiu���������teu__y.ears_ would.be within- the r.alm of possibility." ANOTHEE .RAILWAY. ��������� What Mr. Iteelier Says ol'tlie Salman ltiver l>|.il riel. Lome Becher who returned from the Salmon River district lust week, gave the following interesting "details" td'a representative of the Minek: "Along the liue ofthe Nelson and Fort Sheppard railroad from Nelsonito Ware'n the greatest activity prevails, the trains are daily depositing loads-of-camping outfits*, bellows, anvils, blankets, steel and grub galore for- those who intend making the Salmon district their wiutt r quarters. North Forks and Quartz creek appear to be tbe coming camps in that district. At North Fork are to be found a great many Rossland pioneers aud Mr. Gilliam h>i<* been running a hotel there for some months past with great success nnd .be place* will have every advantage ot growing, Mr. Corbin being at its bnck' and certainly lhe ore. found will warrant the belief that it will become a second liossland. The sui face showings are similar, but assays higher. All along the north fork of tbe Salmo i up to its head, which is about four miles from the Silver King miue over the divide, good locations have been made aud great results are expected. "Ainoug the chief prospect- iu North Fork are the Beu Hassen group aud Maud S. which have been recently- stocked by Mr. Pope, of Montreal; the Arlington group on which work has been done for some time past; the Eobert J. owned by Mr. Pitcher; the Arnold owned by Mr, II. Hughes and on which buildings have been erected and a thirty-five foot shaft sunk which shows up.exceed-. ingly well; the Spokane Bell owned by- Mr. Puck, wliich is being worked by a force of men. All of the prospects give high assays and about fifteen camps will winter on these claims and others. "Further up the* forks iich -strikes ot bornite have, been made. In the Wild Horse district of which Quartz creek is the center and in which Mr. McLeod has just completed a hotel, rich ore has been found. Among the good prospects aire the Ymir group, .owned by Mt. Pitre and nt present under a bond a.d option and in which over 200 feet of tunneling has beeu done; the Wild Horse and X Uay, owned by Mr. Lindblad; the Leanor group controlled.by Mr. Bellamy; the Wilcox which hns been bonded; the Black Cock owned by Mr; Julien; the Randall iu which a tunnel is at present beiug driven to crosscut the ledge by Mr. Pitre the owner; the Tamarack and Dinner Basket from which assays have been takeu as high. as $5(1*- in gold - and is owned by Mr. Hiiiidlin, the locator, and Dr. Campbell, of P.osslftnd; the Silver Chief; the Elise; the Anaconda group, owned by Mr. Gilliam and the Monarch und Tiger. From these and many other good piospects which assay high, we have every reason for placing the Salmon district us the coming district and trust lhat the Nelsou merchants will quickly wake up to the fact that theyhave at their very doors a big market for their goods nnd not let Spokane do all the outfitting by under" selling them when ������a high duty is imposed on most of the necessities."

To the Editor of The Miner. Sib:��������� * _ - ' , " No better evidence of the weakness of our present government could be found,, than that of their mauner of dealing with the public property in-this town, anent town lots, it is manifestly their only duty to handle this property without fear or favor, for the best interests of tho public purse, and iu accordance* with the laud act of the Province, which only permits of town lots being sold by public auction, (not given away as they have been doing to squatters in the past and'present). Section 31 of the land act, is the only authority for the Chief Commissioner to act under, but then Acts are of little account to meu who are either, too ignorant to keep them in mind, or too indifferent to see-them carried-out.----���������-* ��������� By permitting wholesale squattiug, they not only favor one section of the community against ano.ther, viz; the lawless versus thelawabiding, but they give out the decided impression, that notwithstanding the boasted impartiality of the law on this side of the line, that the government is either too weak or careless to see them properly carried but, by their officials, or uphold them if they dared attempt such a course. But giving license to squatters, is not only illegal, but it is palpably unfhir to those who purchase from the government iu a legitimate way. The next thing we shall see, is a man equatting r.nd holding his rights (?) against all comers at tlie point of a rifle, in true Indian territory style, upheld by a precedent established by bu."Provincial government. Truly all government* supporters in this section may well cry, ''Deliver-ns from our friends." " " Yours, "Imi-binat UM," 4th November, ISM.

The Province published accounts of the Point Ellice bridge disaster, last May, that were calculated to prejudice cases pending in court.
