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.

Washington, July 1.���The warde' partment has reoeived the following despatch from General Shafter, dated nt Siboney: "Wo hud a very HeaVy engagement today, which lasted from 8 a. m. until sundown. We have carried the outworks and are now in possession of them. "There is now about, three-quarters of a mile of open ground between my lines and the eity. "This morning my troops have been entrenched.

Siboney, li :SiO p. m., via JPlaya del Este, Guantanamo Bay, July 1.���At* 1 o'clcok this afternoon, after] live hours of terrific fighting the Spanish began to leave their entrenchments and retreat into the eity. Many Americans were wounded. Ono man had botli anus shot off and was wounded in the hip. Washington, July J.��� The cabinet was in session for two hours today, but no important* action was taken. The session was mainly occupied with the discussion of the news from Santiago. General Shaffer's despatch was read aloud before the member of the cabinet. Thoro was a general feeling of gratification shown at tho co-operation referred to by Admiral Sampson. Careful plans to this end were made in a general way some timo ago, though leaving to Sampson the greatest discretion. After tho cabinet meeting Secretary Long said the fleet under Admiral Sampson was co-operating to Uie'fullest extent with the. land forces and that* he expected great results. He suggested that* there wero two conditions contained in the Santiago question. One is, he said: "We will surely win, and the other, tliat it will como about after hard lighting. Of this we are certain.'' Tho sentiment in tho cabinet was that thero was a strong possibility that the fall of Santiago might* bo announced at any time. Assurance was given at today's session of tho cabinet of tho expectation of the administration that Germany would nut interfere at* Manila. There was some discussion on the point* but both the president and Secretary Day said Ihey had received assurances that, there was no unfriendly action contemplated ou ihe part of the German empire. The}* expressed the belief that there was no real foundation fur the reports of the unfriendly attitude of Germany and of the radical stops contemplated by the government,and indicated their personal conviction that there need be no serious apprehension on that score. Several membtTS of the cabinet do not share Ihis confidence in Iho German attitude. The adniinistration|[hiis much confidence in tho judgment and the acts of both Admiral Dewey and General Merritt, The latest, advices reported to the cabinet woro that Admiral Camara's Spanish fleet would proceed throgh tlio Sue/, canal on their journey to tho Philippine islands. This, however, is discounted by previous expectations and preparations, and there is confidence in the arrival of tho Monterey, Monadnoek and tho Charleston oft' Manila before Camara can possibly reach there.

Sen- drico applied to Consul Williams and was liberated. He is now on board tho Nanshan. It is feared that the incident will causo a split iu tho insurgent party, as Sendrico is influential and tho only insurgent capablo of administration. The insurgents fear that General Aguinaldo will shoot Ar tachie unless Admiral Dewey inter feres. Aguinaldo was suspicious thnt Sendrico and Artaohie intended to form an opposition party.

Victoria, July 1.���The stern-wheel steamer Marquis of Dufferiu, built in Vancouver for the British America Corporation for use ou tho Yukon, became a hopeless wreck early this morning while in tow of the Progress betweeu Cape Flattery and Cape Dealo. The Dufferin, it appears, could not stand tho towing strain and smashed to pieces. The crew escaped in boats and woro taken on tho Progress to Barclay sound and thence on the Willapa to Alberni. The C. P. R. steamer Tartar, bound inward this afternoon, sighted tho wreck of tho Dufferin floating bottom sido up about 12 miles from Capo Flattery. ANOTHER VICTIM. A Young Nova Scotian Perishes in tho Stikine. Victoria, July 1.���Word was brought by tho Tartar, arriving from the north tonight, of tho death of a young Nova Scotian named O'Brien,while proceeding up the Stikine river on his way to the Yukon gold fields. He was sitting in his canoe steering it, while an Indian on tho land with a tow-rope pulled it against the swift current. At a place whero the bank is some twenty feet high a great boulder became dislodged and fell, striking O'Brien on tho head and killing him instantly. THE METAL MARKET.

In another column will bo found a declaration signed by the opposition candidates of the Island of Vancouver, pledging themselves to endeavor to have tho scandal arising'from this grant removed. Wo doubt if it is as generally understood3 as it should be in this district what a grave abuse tliis laud grant is, and how under its provisions, as at present construed by its holders, uo less than one-third of the island of Vancouver escapes its just share of taxes, wliich consequently have to be made up by the other sections of tho province. Tho opposition is pledged to work for the removal of this anomaly. The facts aro briefly these, and they will bo peculiarly appreciated by the mining and farming community. The company makes every prospector who locates u claim pay them 8260 for surface rights, whether the claim has any ascertained valuo or not. This would be .hard enough woro thoy acting within thoir rights, but as a matter of fact, it* is extremely probable that they havo no such right. No individual prospector could afford to fight this wealthy company, and so far they continue to fatten undisturbed oh the hard-earned money of the working man. The farmers are even worse treated, if suoh a thing is possible, Tho company will only soil inferior land to settlers, at exorbitant prices, and then the land is cumbered with provisions which tho farmer frequently does not understand and which may make his land practically valueless. Clauses are inserted in every deed which resorvo tho right, to mine on the laud on giving compensation, and also to tako any land they may want for their railway, nnd all the limber they want for railway purposes without giving auy compensation at all. Those last ��� two clauses havo the effect of making slaves of the population; for if any man offends thom politically or otherwise thoy can take away the land he has paid for, or cut down all the timber on his place, and it must* be remembered that on Vancouver island the timjier is 'frequently worth more than tho land. This scandalous abuse of power is the moro inexcusable in that there is Btrong reason to boliovo that tho land does not belong to Iho company, who merely hold it as trustees to sell as crown lands. Tho opposition is determined to put an end to this state of things. Is British Columhia to be administered solely for the benefit of tho Dunsmuir oliqueV: The Dunsmuirs . know this and aro straining ovory nerve to got as many of their henchmen as possible iuto the legislature. There are at this moment uo less than five candidates either members of the Dunsmuir family or iiii'l' r their control. Theso are Jam ������*',, nsinuir, head of the Duns- mui-t* tumily; Dr. Walkom, the doctor of the Dunsmuir collieries; James Bryden,,..Duusmuir's brother-in-law; C. E. Pooley, solicitor to tho Dunsmuirs, and Joseph Hunter, tho manager of tho Dunsmuirs' railway. The province has been governed by ono family long enough, the people aro tired of it, and let everyone remember that when they voto for the opposition candidate; they aro voting for freedom nud equality, and are voting against the tyranny of the purse. In the lato dominion elections in 1806, Premier Turner, iu advocating the candidature of J. A. Mara for Every^traveller through the mineral regions of British Columbia, whether expert* or novice, is impressed with the great extent of the territory over which this wealth is distributed. Nowhere in the world liave mineral deposits of such richness been shown to exist over so groat an area. We are just beginning to uncover these vast deposits, and overy year for a long series will show an increased export of the ores of gold, silver, copper and lead. The metals and minerals schedule of exports was formerly of comparative insignificance, but since 18911, when the Kootenay exports began to tell, metal and mineral exports havo increased from two and a half millions to about fourteen in the year just* closing. All of this cannot be credited to the mine alone. Wo should not be at all surprised to learn that agricultural implements to tho value of over a million dollars figure in the total, for our exports of reapers have been increasing rapidly. But taking metals and minerals and manufactures of these together and discounting materially the glowing stories of progress that come almost dailj- from the mining districts we see no reason to doubt that within five years our mines will be more important as a source of exports thtm either our forests or our fisheries, vast as both of these aro.���Toronto Globe. MEN OP THE DAY. Tho British ambassador to St. Petersburg is tin important person in these days, and Sir Charles Stewart Scott, K. 0. M. G., 0. B.,who has just been nominated to that post, will occupy a position of great responsibility. Ho has been just forty years in tho diplomatic service. Tho greater part of his work has been performed in the smaller German courts, aud there is no man in the service, today with a more intimate knowledge of the German empire and its complex constitution than tho new ambassador. Ho has also served in Washington and in St. Petersburg, and now returns to the latter capital after an absence of four and twenty years, lie has always been one of the quiet workers in the diplomatic service. Making no claim to brilliance, ho has done a great deal of work in dull posts as in imjo. t.int conferences with that thoroughness which is his main characteristic. In a long service of forty years it is great* achievement to havo mado no mistakes. As a subordinate ho was hard working; as a chief ho knows how to attract his juniors aud how to extract from them their best. Ho is an Irish gentlemen, whose leave is exclusively spent in his native land. It is iuterj esting to noto that he is an old con- ferre of Count Mouravieff, tho two having been together at the court of Copeuhaegn. UNDER SEALED ORDERS. The custom of having warships sail "under scaled orders" has arisen from the dosire of maritime powers to prevent their plans from becoming known to the enemy. In the American navy such ordors come from the president,and are delivered to the commander of a ship or squadron by a confidential messenger who knows nothing of their contents. Sometimes they aro in cipher, but they are always sealed with tho official seal of tho navy department, and tho package cannot be openod until the timo marked on it, which is usually sov-, eral hours after tho hour of leaving port. By tliis precaution the newspapers are prevented from disclosing prematurely movements which may be of the greatest importance, and the spies of the enemy arn rendered useless so far as their ability to discover tho secret of such movements is concerned. Sailing under sealed orders is now thojconimon naval practice in time of war. ThOBO instructions aro found in the packet of "sealed orders" whioh are opened when well out to sea. JUDICIOUS PROMOTION. Tlio [cause of the federation of the empire is continually being promoted by tho trend of current events and influences, amongst which may certainly be included the gain by distinguished colonial men of positions in one or the othor of the imperial houses of parliament. We, thorofore, record witli satisfaction the recent well earned promotion to tho uvuks of tho houseof lords of Sir Arthur Haliburton,. late permanent British under secretary, for war. Sir Arthur, tho son of a' literary distinguished sire, who, under the sobriquet of Sam Slick, wrote racily of the old time people of tho maritime provinces, is himself a Nova Scotian by birth and proud of the fact of being Canadian born, has taken for tho placo of his title, his native town of Windsor. So he will sit in the house of lords as Lord Windsor of Nova Scotia, and wo trust thoro long coutinuo to aid two other well known Canadian peers in the discussion of matters affecting tho empire at largo, whilst speaking with special knowlodge of our own self-govorning Dominion within tho empire.���News Advertiser.

Tlie spectators present, however, got the worth of tlieir money, for West made a desperate struggle to put O'Neill's buck on tho mat, and botli men did some very clever work. The hold throughout was oatch-as-catoh-can and tlie match was very clean, excepting the full ou whioh O'Neil won tlie last round. The first full wus given to West after !il minutes hard work. O'Neill took the second and third falls in 4}-.�� and I'.j minutes respectively, and won the fourth round on a foul, West having taken Hie strangle hold on him, wliich wus barred before the contest started.

I'm- Mem Iter of (he legislative Assembly for (Sic Kelson Billing of West Koolcuay District. JOHN FRED HUME. In the old world the walnut is found wild in the Banat territory of Hungary, in the mountains of Greece, in Armenia, the north of India aud in Japan, The Greeks neglected their native trees and hnporterto better variety from Persia The Romans cultivated it to a great extent and got. the first trees from Persia. They throw nuts nt weddings ns wo throw rice. Just why walnuts are mimed us they nre is a mystery, for the word means "foreig limit," Tlie blnck walnut is indigenous to tliis country, and probably received its namo from its resemblance to tho English walnut, says tlie Chicago News. Anglo-Saxons coined the name in their own homo before they came to Britain und found tho nut, whioh the Romans had doubtless brought* over, as it wus one of their favorite delicacies. The, old proverb says that "he wlio plants a walnut tree expects not to eat of the fruit. " Tlio tree is one of the slowest to come to maturity we know, for it does not* bear until 20 years old, An old farmer nnd tree-grower gives as a rule for planting wulnut trees to dig a shallow hole, place in a layer of decayed leaves from the woods, plant nuts with the husks removed, cover witli a small licit]) of leaves und next year you will find some havo grown. In another yeur you nitty use your discretion nbout what saplings shall be left to grow. 0. P. R. HACLYON EXCURSIONS. I'lATfOUM OF PIUitCIl'LEB.

Gentlemen,���I offer myself lis an independent candidate to represent you in the next Provincial|Parlinment. Should I lie fortunate enough to secure your support I shall endeavor to bring aliout the following reforms: (1) A change in the Mineral Act to compel all partners in a mining claini to bear their share of the assessment work or forfeit their interest. (2) An amendment to cause litigants to put up reasonable security for costs before adversing applications for certificates of improvements, (8) Regular promotion in the Civil Service, avoiding the injustice of tho appointment of outsiders over the heads of men already in the service, all vacancies being filled by our own people. (1) The removal from the Statute book of the discriminatory tax of 85.00 per annum on mechanics, miners and others employed in our metalliferous mines. If returned I pledge myself to work to the best of iny ability to secure a local expenditure of public monies in proportion to the revenue collected In the district, and to ensure such expenditure being laid out to the best possible advantage. The mining interests of British Columbia have now reached such proportions that it is desirable they should be administrated by a separate department under the charge of a minister wdio would devote his undivided attention to tho subject. I shall endeavor to rescind the legislation of '90, by which mining suits were taken out of the jurisdiction of the County Court and relegated to tho Supreme Court, thereby entailing increased costs and interminable delays. During the past eight years Kootenay lias lieen represented bv straight government supporters and by an out and out oppositionist, the result in neither case has been satisfactory. I consider the time has arrived when all the Kootenay members Bhould join in advocating measures for the benefit of this district as a whole and for its special industry, without regard to party.

LOVE AMONG THE LAPLANDERS When a young Laplander is iu love* with a girl he and she run a race. He is heavily handicapped, so thar, she may win if she chooses,and if slie out run him lie ennnot propose again. Of course she suffers herself to he overtaken if slie cares for him,hut the eon- sent of her parents must be obtained before she can be married. Tlie law of the land is very strict* ou (his point, and in olden times tlie man wns subject to capital punishment* if he married without the consent of the girl's parents. After a Laplander has chosen a bride lie sends her a present of a girdle, a ring and a quantity of brandy; lie goes so fur ns the door of her liut, and remains outside until invited to enter, when a bumper of brandy is offered to tlie girl's father; if he drinks it it. is a sign lie consents to tlie marriage, and tlie young lover thon promises to give the girl some clot lies, and pays a sum of money, generally 100 copper dollars, on the spot. Tliis, of course, is a remnant of marriage liy purchase, wliich, in primitive times, succeeded marriage lij- capture. Banns are published once in Lapland and (lie marriage ceremony is very short. Tlie bride wears her hair loose and has a gold bund around her head. Her parents and her dowry are generally reindeer, and slie and her bridegroom remain witli her parents for a year after marriage.

HERE LS THE FROZEN TRUTH. After a careful estimate Dr. Dawson, chief of tlie geological survey, gave tho following figures to the Ottawa house of commons: The total output, ho says, from tho Yukon district has boen $4,100,500. Of this total $2,500,000 were mined in 1S0T, $800,000 iuJKDli, $860,000 in 1895, $l:>5,000 in 1894, $176,000 in l,so:i, $87, - 000 in 1893, $-10,000 in 1891, $175,000 in 1 SHI), and various small sums prior to that time. Dr. Dawson says (hut thoro bus up to tho present time, beeu no reoognied method of obtaining statistics in tho district or of ascertaining in regard to gold exported by the river how much was derived from Canadian and how much from Alaskan placers. The main point that is, however, suggested by tho figures is tlio smnllness of tho Yukon gold yield us compared with the enormousness of the Klondike rush. Mr. Liveruush.of Dawson Oity, wlio lias boen sent to Ottawa as a delegate to protest against tho excessive royalty dues and other Dominion levies, fully confirms Dr. Dawson's moderation as regards tlie estimate of Yukon gold yield. Mr. Livernush, wlio certainly should know whereof lie speaks, says tlmt if tho simple truth were brought home to many a poor fellow now preparing for a trip to the Yukon, much Buffering would be spared, the output nntl probable wealth of thu Yukon being vastly exuggeruted. Up (o lust sumnier tlio country liad not yielded more than $2,600,000, Lust. year's gold output wus well within $1,500,000. Work for tlio present winter will not bring more than $6,000, - 000, Indeed, the largest estimate offered by any responsible party is $10,000,000, made up as follows: Bonanza crook, $4,000,000; El Dorado crook, $-1,000,000; Hunker creek, $-1(10,- 000; Boar, Dominion, Sulphur and other creeks, $1,000,000, and small creeks and sidehill claims, another $5, ��� 000,000. Mr. Livernash assorts that every dollar thus far extracted from the Klondike, lias cost ono dollar, and moro than one half of the men who wont to the Klondike last year must be written down as failures. Thoy are poorer Ihan when they entered tlio country.���Mining and Electrical Review.
