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 building and improvements made in the town of Nelson during 1890 amounts to $138,750 and taking into consideration that over $18,000 was paid in_ cash -this year, for lots sold by the government, the showing is a most satisfactory one. Comparatively few people in or out of Nelson know of the amount of building that has been done. Nelson, although not given to booming, has made steady und satisfactory progress and the outlook for the year 1897 is very bright. Building will only be limited this year to the capacity of the saw mills to produce tlie lumber. The Miner last week sent a representative out for the purpose of gathering data in regard to the improvements made during the past year and the list presented is as accurate and complete as a careful canvass could make it. Tn the majority of cases the valuations were given by the owners themselves or by those connected with tlie houses visited. In cases where the owners were unknown, a careful and conservative "estimate was made liy the person collecting the information and The Mixer feels confident tliat the list is. correct. If any iinprovements have been made that have been omitted from the list or any mistakes made we: would be glad to know about it.

Mr. Bv Marpole, Superintendent of tbe western division of the Canadian Pacific Railway arrived in Nelson last Thursday on a tour of inspection of the road and left this morning for Robson. In conversation with a repreaentativ of The Miner, he said: . . . "On the transfer of the property on the first, Capt. J. AV. Troup will be np: D.binted superintendent of the inland steamers of the Pacific Division embracing' all the Columbia river, Kootenay lake, Slocan lake and Okanagan lake craft. An accelerated service will be inaugurated as soon as the new boats now under way are completed. A third heavy engine is now eii route from the east for the Naktisp & Slocan railway and two main line, standard, freight endues are to be brought for the Columbia & Kootenay railway in view of the quick service referred to and. the probable early construction of .the Slocan extension of the Columbia & Kootenay railway., Immediate . wharf improvements are contemplated at Robson for the more expeditious handling, of freight generally and Mr. Ducliesnay, C. E. is now examining, into this "and other matters on the Columbia ���������;.*. Kootenay railway. '"���������".'��������� .- "Mining matters are looking up in the neighborhood of Kamloops and from the result of inspection of locations by qualified meu I am satisfied that,we have a large and rich mineral district there. Business generally along the main line is good. I am pleased to see the healthy growth of Nelson. I am satisfied it will be one of, iE not the most important town in Southern Kootenny, having everything in its favor for a distributing point and the construction of the Crow's STest Pass road will help its progress most materially." Mr. Marpole was met in Nelson by Mr. G. McL. Brown, of Arancouver. district ptissengcr agent; Mr. Lacey R.

The charter for the"Rossland.. board of trade arrived Thursday. An effort will be made by the new organization to settle the now disturbing question as to stock quotations, and will probably try and work iu harmony with the Spokane board of trade. The receipts for the Rossland custom house for 1897. amounted to ������02,039, showing a great increase in- the last few months. . ������;iris to Ilu- HoMiiial.. The report of the income and expenditure account aud balance sheet of The Hall Mines,,Limited, submitted to the stockholders at the fourth ordinary general meeting held at Winchester house, Old Broadstreot,London, E.C., on Thursday, December 17, 1896, has been received and is tis follows: THE DIRECTOES' HEFORT. "The directors now beg to submit to the shareholders the statement of accouut and balance sheet for the year ending 30th September, 1896, duly certified by the auditor, being the third balance sheet issued since the formation of the company. "The balance sheet shows a gross profit of income over expenditure of ������28,067, 6s. 5d., from which it is proposed to write off the sum of ������3,807, 19s. 9d., for depre* ciatiou on buildings, plant, machinery, etc., for the past year, duriug which the smelting furnace was only 185 days in blast. This profit balance would have enabled the directors to havo recommended the declaration of a dividend upon both preference and ordinary shares, but for the debit balance brought forward from the SlOth September, 1895, which has first to be met. The balance remaining, however, will suffice to pay the dividend due upon the preference stock, ������3662, 8s. 2d., and carry forward a balance of ������1930, 6s. 4d., to the credit of the current year, which 'disposition of this balance "the directors accordingly recommend. The wire tramway was originally con-, structed to work in oue section, but this having been found to cause too great strain upon the rope, the tramway has been divided into two sections, at the cost of the coutfactors, and has since worked satisfactorily. The ropeway and standards have" all been thoroughly overhauled and put iu efficient order, so that it is now confidently relied upon that this means of conveyance will suffice tobring down continuously the present output oE say 120 tons a day from the miue to * the smelter. The work at the mine has proceeded with vigour duriug the past year, aud we refer the shareholders to the report of the miue superintendent appended hereto for particular.} of the work done. No further work has been done ou the -gold lead on the Daylight claim, thc directors having thought it advisable to suspend further operations thereon, until *he result "is known oE the prospecting work now being carried ou by another company on the same lead on the neighbouring Starlight claim. The smelting works -were completed and the furnace blown iu during January, and with some stoppages the furnace continued in blast until the beginning of September, when it was found necessary to shut it down and make substantial .til terations andrenairs. These alternations and repairs-have now been completad and-the furnace is now again in full blast. A new blast furnace has been ordered and is under construction; and" refining works, consisting of reverberatory furnace and roasting oven are now approaching completion. The auditor's report is herewith annex e_<L__ _. ._ . L-__ - There are three vacancies on the board tc be filled by election; Mr. D. H. Gibb, Mr. Walter Neilspn and Mr. Ramsay (the latter of whom has "occupied a seat on the board, temporarily, siuce July) -hav. ing resigned.

'��������� The mine superintendent in his report gives the summary of tonnage shipped from the mine to the ore bins from S'ente'mber 30, 1895 to'-September 30, 18.G. as 23,600 tens. The company's mines tire shown to be as follows: Silver King, lCootcnay Bonanza," American Flag, Koh-i-noor, Lakeside, Daylight, Biitaunia, J.M.B., Hid, Grand Jessie, Eureka, Rose,Thistle, Shamrock, National Emblem, Horseshoe and the Iron Hand for iron flux. He shows that during tho past year tbe mine development has been confined mostly to the Silver King as follows: drifting, 505 feej: sinking, 139 feet, 6 in. The oro in stock in' Ihe mine bins on September 80, 1.896 was estimated 1910 tons.

Make First Class Boots * and * Shoes For Hitlers & Prospectors (418) SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1807. The Legislative Assembly will convene in regular session at Victoria on February 8th. The news matter published in the New York dailies and the Police Gazette is as beastly as it is identical. Recent press reports are far from . indicating that the family feud anil lynching paystreak is petering out in Kentucky. - The Nelson Club promises to be a very prosperous organization, and is a valuable acquisition to the town from which it takes its name. , It is said that the wail of the wild- cut has been heard quite distinctly and not infrequently of late in the mineral districts of western Ontario. The eastern capitalist looking for investments in I.ootenay is rapidly i-calizing that he cannot buy a developed and shipping mine for $500.. There is as much executive ability displayed in the; administration of the office of Gold Commissioner of this district as there is sense in most of the current magazine poetry. The independent press of Canada accepts the boycotting of "L'Electetir," a Canadian-French Newspaper, by thc Quebec dignitaries of the Roman Catholic as entirely unwarrantable. ft will be. interesting to note how much time must elapse before thc -Spokesman-Review--quits~"crying be--" cause it can't ride over a railway without paying its fare.

A NEIV SERVICE. A "'rumor with considerable semblance of ��� substantiality is current to the ell'eet. that this (.own will shortly have another electric light system whicli will enter into a spirited and effective competition with the Nelson Klcctric Light .Company. Those promoting the new corporation arc; said to be men of considerable means with considerable local interests and of the opinion that their personal requirements and the needs of the peoplo generally, fully warrant the expenditure that such an enterprise would necessitate. This is good news. The importance of the benefits of an additional lighting plant is apparent. Competition in a business which practically effects the entire community must of necessity inaugurate a more efficient and cheaper service, besides, the town gains by the establishment1 and maintenance of a permanent industry. The Miner has no desire to criticize the Nelson Electric Light Company, which at present bas the field to itsolf, further than the legitimate limits of a newspaper respecting public interests. The Mixeii has not yet discovered an excellence in the service of the existing company to rush into print with a statement to that effect, tis a certain publication did last week. Had its service been better, men who are considered conservative in their affairs would not find it necessary to introduce a second system. It is outrageous for any newspaper claiming to have sincere regard for the community in which it is published to throttle' enterprise and foster monoply. Those intending to establish- the new plant deserve praise and encouragement foi* their enterprise. It would be difficult to advance arguments that would- prove failure for them. The bright future of Nelson is sufficient alone to induce the new company to go ahead without delay and be fully prepared for the rapid growth which will vory soon more than double the present population. GAZETTE NOT.CES. HALL MINE ACCOMMODATIONS. The Xtw Boarding House Is a illoilern ami t'oinrorlalile Structure. The new boarding house at the Hall Mines erected under the .superintendence of M*r. A. E. Hodgins is a fine structure, probably the. largest building of its kind in the Kootenay district, 100x32 feet: threo stories and basement. In tho basement the hot air furnaces aro placed, and various .storerooms. Tbe first floor is occupied by a dining room about OOxifcJ, private dining mom, store rooms, reading room and large lean-to kitchen. The second floor is till occupied by-bedrooms, and the third floor is divided into threo compartments which will be used for sleeping quarters for the men instead of the old bunk house. The. whole is plastered and no men in the country will have better accommodation in the future, than thoso working at the Hall Mines, Ld.

The bare statement of an eastern periodical devoted to the interests (if agriculturists that the farmers of Kansas intend to turn their attention to* rye docs not necessarily prove that they have quit drinking hard "cidar and bourbon, or that the number of soda water factories iu that region will bis increased. In another column will be found the! report of the directors of the Hall I .Mines/Limited. For ordinary shareholders who are expecting a dividend, i IU this does not appear encouraging.
