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.

Tbo Lawrence Hardware company are now settled in their handsome three story brick block on Bakei street, a description of which appeared in The Miner of a few dnys ago. Tbo increased accommodation gives them the opportunity to display thoir large stock to greater advantage than in the old building. Tho offices of tho firm bavo also beon fitted up witb every convenience for tbo transaction of business. Hebden & Hebden, hardware merchants, have also moved into their new brick block on Baker street west of tbe Hudson's Bay company's store, and are fitting it up iu first class style. Other business firms aro making extensive improvemeuts in tbeir premises, preparatory to increased business during tho winter months, particulars of which have been given from time to timo in The Miner. The above is but one of tbo many instances of tbe confidence whioh tbe business men of Nelson bavo in the future of the city. The solid character of the business blocks and the large aud complete stocks of goods carried by (ho business bouses is a surprise to the numerous visitors to tho city who have not been slow to express thoir wonder that stores so attractive and completely stocked should bo fonud in a city of the size of Nelson.

Merchants Preparing For Increased Winter Trade by Improving and Enlarging Their Premises Tho merchants of Nelson aro making great preparations for the winter trado not only by getting iu largo and complete stocks of goods but in fitting up tbeir premises in atractive style. Tbe increased accommodation afforded by tbe new brick blocks erected this summer on Baker street not only adds to tho appearance of the street but gives increased space for tho business firms to display iheir goods aud cater to the want's of their customers*. Messrs. DesBrisay ifc Co.. grocers, moved this week into tho wost store in Ihe new brick Aberdeen block, erected by the Deer Bros., and are getting their large and complete slock placed on the shelves and arranged in attractive style. The store is well lighted, the windows being of large plate glass, the shelving and counters of the latest design wilh a handsome and well equipped business office at tbo rear. Lillie Bros , boot and shoo dealers, have moved their stock to the east store in the Aberdeen block and are briskly engaged in filling tbo shelving with goods. In tlieir old premises their store was always kept in good style, and their stock at- all times was complete in every line. In their new storo tbey are determined to spare no effort to make it the most attractive house in its line in the interior of British Columbia.

TELLS OF ITS TERRORS He Believes That Many Will Lose Their Lives���Incomers I Were Deceived by Boomers- Victoria, Oct. 11.���News has reached here of a new mineral find, a rich quartz lead, on the southeastern part of the Baronhoff islands, less than sixty miles from Sitka. Tho discovery was made by au expedition wbicb sailed form Seattle ou the small steamer Iouquiu in Juue last. They first went to Ketchikan, then to Prince of Wales island, aud afterwards to tbe Baronhoffs. Tbe wholo district was carefully investigated and on tho Baronhoffs a number of rich lodges were found. Assays show gold in all the ledges running from 51 to $80 to the ton. Plenty of wood and water was found and all tbo coudiitous were favorable for development. THE PEACE COMMISSION. No Conclusions Arrived at Yet Regarding a Troaty. Paris, Oct. 12.���After a fourth joint session lasting from 2 o'clock yester- day to -1:15 the American and Spanish peace com missions adjourned without having reached a final conclusion as to any point in tho protocol. Thus far there bas been no joint formulation or crystallization of views to be returned by each commission to its government for embodying in the final treaty. Tbe question of the Philipines has not yet been considered in joint session, (hough the Americans at their separate session havo acquired exhaustive information from persons wbo bave lived in tho Philippine islands aud done business there. They aro now, therefore, well equipped to discuss tho subject when it comes up. Tho Spansish commissioners have written views, expressions, aud propositions to which there have been written rejoiners. Theso, in the original and in translations, have been read at tbo joint sessions; while during tbo recess, they havo been respectively digested and responses formulated to them, reudored into both English and Spanish for tho next joint sesnion. Tho adjournment yesterday (Tuesday) was to Friday. Both commissions bavo accepted an invitation to a reception given by Figaro this, Wednesday, afternoon. Victoria, B. 0., Oct. 11.��� Dr. Mac- Laren, of Highgato, Ontario, who spent the best part of the summer in trying to enter tbe Klondike by the Ashcroft trail, bas returned to Victoria and confirms tbo startling stories already told as to the terrors of that route. Dr. MacLaren with 15 other men, and 89 horses, left Ashcroft July 18 with strong hopes of reaching their destination, Glenora, in 30 days. Proceeding by wagon to Quesnelle, everything was lovely until that point was reached, but no sooner bad the settlement beon left behind than the bogs, quagmires, muskegs, almost impassable bridges and every other obstacle known to tbe wayfarer on a blaze, became plentiful. Tbe. horses wore for days together up to their girths in mud. The riders had to sit with their legs in a horizontal position to keop them clear of tho bogs through which their steeds ploughed. Tho pack horses wonld halt on a swaying bridge, get a forefoot in a crevice of tbe piauks, turn restive and disappear over tbe side into tbe ravine beyond all possibility of recovery. Tbe giant roots with their interlacing tentacles proved a death trap to many a poor patient ber.st- and poisoned weeds, eaten by tlie horses for want of food, would bring in sickness and death. Provisions ran low, clothing was destroyed by tbe tanglebrusb, foot covering became worse than useless against the thousand and ono obstacles against which tho men stumbled, and ultimately death stared the party in the faco. Dr. MacLaren says the trail, instead of being only 80 daj-s, occupies at the least possible calculation 100. So that a party starting with supplies sufficient for a month will find themselves, having accomplished but one third of the distance, without food. The trail is fully 1300 or 1400 miles long, instead of the 500 or 000 as claimed by the bo mors of it. Tbe members of the party fear that many have lost their lives in attempting to mako tho trip. At one place, between tho two summits, there is a division of the so-called trail, and ono fork leads only to death. Away up iu the mountains could bo teen the camp fires, marking tbe progress of thoso who had been unfortunate enough to follow it. They cau never find a way out. Short of provisions and destitute of clothing, with tho chill of wintor approaching, thoir fate, Dr. MacLaren says, is sealed. THE OUTWARD RUSH. The steamer City of Seattle, which arrived from the north this morning, had 243 passengers, a great many of whom wore rushing out from Dawson fo avoid tho winter. A great many of them had gold, but the majority had not, being men who went, inland in search of work and found the labor market already too crowded. FIRE IN HER BUNKERS. A U. S. Transport Has a Narrow Escape From Destruction. New York, Oct. 11.���Tho United Slates transport Obilam, which sailed from Ponce, Pinto Rioo, Soptombor 2S, via Santiago, Oct. 5, arrived at Quarantine shortly after four this afternoon. The transport brought about 250 sick and convalescent soldiers and about 86 passengers. Tho Obdam sailed from Santiago for this port on October 2, but when two days at sea, fire was discovered iu ber coal bunkers and she was compelled to return to Santiago whero tho fire was extinguished, The transport sailed again on October 5, and experienced fairly good weather. On the 9th a lire broke out again in the coal bunkers and although every effort was mado to get it under control, tho firo was still smouldering when the Obdam reached Quarantine this afternoon. The Rliips officers did all iu their power to stamp out tho firo with the aid of steam, but tho fire proved very stubborn and caused much uneasiness to all on board, more especially as tbe transport had stored in her hold a very large quantity of ammunition and a large number of rifles. The men had improved steadily during tho voyage, being provided with excellent food and medical supplies. MUST HAVE BLUE GUMS. Another and A Siwash Indian Bites He Dios. Victoria, Oct. 11.���The City of Seattle had news of tho murdor of an In- ian under very peculiar circumstances on Douglas island. It soems that a Siwash, Killinsnoo Jim, became involvod in a row with his Klootchman. Tho squaw was getting tho worst of it when another Indian came to help her. During the melee which followod Eillisnoo Jim bit a big piece of flosh out of (ho oilier Indian's arm. Threo days after tho fight* blood poisoning set iu and tbe Siwash died. Tho mur- dcror has been placed under arrest. DECLARED A DRAW. Chicago, Oct. 11.���Tho picked cricket eleven from all Chicago escapod being officially defeated by tho English team on Monday on account of rain, which began falling iu torrents. As the Englishmen couid not remain to finish tho match, it was declared a drawn game,although the visitors wero at the tune of 138 runs ahead, with another innings to play. Tho Chi- cagoans realized that they bad uo show to defeat tho Englishmen and were pleased to havo tho game declared a draw. At 5 o'cilock the visitors started for Now York and will sail for England as soon as they can after arriving in the metropolis.

When the application of the Roman Catholic body camo up yester-; gaged in if the promoters wish to os day, his worship, speaking with much j cape the charge of deception. moderation, said that he did not see why one denomination should be treated with more consideration than another. But aside from that the Fire Hall was devoted to a special purpose and it should not be turned to anv other. To grant the request wonld necessitate, the removal of tbe apparatus from the building and the engine, hose and carriage would have to be kept in tbe street for four days, which would subjoet them to injury. In case of fire it was necessary that the apparatus should be kept in available shape aud easy to be got at. Cov-- ered up in tbe street it could not be easily bandied in case of emergency. Despite his worship's prorest tbo council voted on the motion and agreed to vacate tbe Fire Hall for the purpose mentioned. It was a mistake to do this aud the mayor's objection was well taken. The Fire- Hall is not in any sense a public ball and the council had no right to gran! the use of it to any person. There are other places in the city whero tli" Roman Catholics cau find plenty of accommodation for the .bu/aar tbey intend to bold. The council should reconsider tho matter. Their action, if carried out. will establish a precedent ���which may prove embarrassing in tbe futuro. Grant tho uso of the hall to any religions denomination or society and the same privilege caniu t reasonably be withheld wben other applicants for a like favor appear. Questions of creed do not- enter into consideration in any way. What the council have to consider is the wisdom of tho action and the members will como to tho conclusion that tbeir action cannot be defended. WILL HOLD EGYPT.

"I have never been in Minnesota, but I bear that up there and for many hundred miles around the white men are as many as the blades of grass. If so, what can a poor Indian get ill a fight? Tbey are making a great mistake and are foolish. For years I fought the white men, thinking that my few braves and I eould kill tbem all and tbat we would again have the land that our Great Father gave us and which he covered with game. I thought that the Great Spirit would bo with us, and that after we had killed the white men, the buffalo, deer and antelope would come back. "After I fought and lost and after I travelled over the country in which the white man lives and saw his cities and the work he had done, my heart was ready fo burst. 1 knew thai the race of the Indian was run, " Asked what be thought would event- ii nlv become of I lie Indians, he hesitated and pointed to the west aud said : "The sun rises and shines for awhile, then he goes down, sinking out of sight and is lost. So it will be with the Indians "When I was a boy my- father told me tbat the Indians were, as many as the leaves ou the trees and-that they of the north had many horses and fields. I never saw them, but I know tbat if they were there then tbey have gone now, and the white man has taken all they bad. It will 1 o only a few years more until the Indians will be heard of no more except in the books that (lie white man lias written. Tbey are not the people that the great father leves, for, if they were, be, would protect theni. They have tried to please him, but tbey do not know how.

Tho shaft is five feot by soven feet iu tho clear, is well timbered, and is now down gover 20J feet, ail iii quartz, the vein being wider than the shafrt. Some snlphuret ore is coining in in the foot wall, and the foreman states that ho occasionally conies across streaks of gold. An extra shift will go on at once and the work of sinking will be pushed rapidly. Tho circumstances are favorable for quick work, thero being no water to contend with. Ou the adjoining claim, tho Foutenoy, the same ledge has been shown up, IiO feet from the shaft in the Waterloo. This is likely to prove a valuable property, as in addition to having the Waterloo vein, which runs easterly and westerly, there is a strong vein of sulphide running northerly and southerly through the claim in which is au 80-foot shaft showing at the bottom a five-foot vein of solid mineral. This property is under option to Dr. J. F. Reddyof Spokano. The weather i.s splendid, it being the Indian .summer.

THE THUNDERER TAKES A HAND Perhaps the most important development of tho last few days is the appearance of a letter in the London, Eng., Times, in which its correspondent severely criticises tho municipal administration nt Dawson and distinctly charges corruption to the ollieials, though still without giving the essential details. Following the lead of the Canadian liberal papers, the Times emphasises very strongly tho necessity of prompt official action to tho end that the truth may be arrived at, and points out that the sending of Mr. Ogilvio into the country as commissioner, is evidence of the determination of tlie government to shield no one, but to get at the facts at all costs; adding : "There is a general conviction, fully shared hy tho peoplo of thej Oct.
