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.

When Mr. Laurier and his. party undertook the administration of public affairs there ���������was no small lack of faith ou the part of prominent eastern business men, but it is my opinion that this sentiment hns en tirely disappeared aud there is new -,-. general coufldence in the Liberal parly's capabilities to 'give a business administration of the affairs of the couutry." When questioned concerning the tariil nnd tiude relations between this country and other British territories and tlie proposed reciprocity with the United States, Mr. Bostock said he could state authoritatively that there would be littlo results from the efforts of Sir Richard Cart- wright who is now at Washington confer ring with the American government on closer business telatioiis between the two countries.
