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.

Miss Jano Coombs oue of the most cultured nnd eloquent interpreters of female character now adorning tho An.erican stngo, closed the most brilliant engagement of the ������"��; Ford's Gland Opera Houso Inst evening. At nearly every representation standing roo"i was in demand, By her rare merits, personal as well as professional, Miss CoomliB has 11.ado herself au established favorite from Boston to Snu Francisco. Beautiful and commanding in person, with a strangely sweet and carefully cultivated voice; refined, quiet aud natural iu her stvie of acting, never omitting mate school of art, and her successes are justly deserved. Tho eloquence of her features in expressing her emotions illustrates tlio spoken effect of the lines, and the picturesqueness, the groupings, to a very marked and unusual degre. Her wholo conception of the various roles she assumes are the dramatist's ideas expressed to a lotter, but into.ise, expressing as much liy what it expresses as what it reveals. Miss Coombs is one of the few great American actresses, and she seems to avoid on principle anything that can suggest exaggeration. Her ideas are embodied with a grace of ease that speaks of studied soeia1 and byplen) inining, as well as purely mif* sion- al culture. Inthe strongest and most "'found at last" - r- * ��� ~-y the most trifling detail, nor availing herself of any of the usual theatrical tricks to manufacture sensations���sho has won her way into the hearts ot all admirers of truo dramatic art. Mon nnd women, old and young, grave and gay, all feel and acknowledge her irre- sistablo powor as an exponent of the higher walks of dramatic art. Her celebrity as an actress dates back for sovoral yeara nnd tho ablest critics iu America admit that hor personations nro as "Gems in �� Diadem of Art." She is n strict adherent to the logiti- pnssionuto characters she never verges npon the lnelo-drainntio, never hints at a wish for applause, never exhibits anything but dramatic motal of Ihe true ring. She assumes a wide range of the most difficult characters, liut ihey aro all rendered with suoh artistic powor and finish, all absolute truth that her identity is lost, and we seo before us tho living embodiment of tho character *,he represents. Miss Coombs can always depend upon a warm welcome, nay, an ovation, when she visits Baltimore.���From the Baltimore Gazette. CHARGED WITH LIBEL. The Mnunger of the Montreal Herald Under Arrest.

THE GERMANY ARMY. Berlin, Nov. 14.- Hong Koug, Nov. 14.���Tho Filipino Junta; representatives of General Aguinnldo and the Filipino government here, have drawn up what they designate as an " Appeal to President McKinley nnd the American people," but what is in reality rather in the nature of an arraignment of Amerioan actions in the Philippines. The memorial says; "We, the Hong Kong representatives of our countrymen, appeal to the great and good judgment of President McKinley aud the spirit of fairness and justice of tho American people as it is always shown ill their regard for the petitions of the weak and oppressed . "Whilo the fate of the islands is still undeoidud nnd we tire doing all in our power to prevent a conflict between the Americans and the Filipinos, awaiting patiently the conclusion of ihe Puris conference, we implore ihe intervention of the president, 8up- rihrled by the will of tho people, to end ihe slight shown our leaders, soldiers and people by some of the Americuu military nnd naval ollicers, ulthough v.e do not wish to wrong Admiral Dewey or f^p.eral Oils.' The memorial then avers tbnt "False reports nro spread broadcast alleging that the Filipinos are responsible for all friction" aud points out, "that tho tension is greater oTery day aud nny moment a shot may be fired by un irresponsible Amerioan or Filipino soldier, leading to great bloodshed, and we beseech the United Stutes to help the Junta to control our own people hy directing American ofTiciuls nt Manila to temper thoir uetious with friendship, justice nnd fairness." From the commencement of hostilities, continues tho memorial "the Filipinos acceded to nil the American requests, but after bottling tbe Spaniards in Manila, tho Filipinos were completely ignored when the Americans advanced and thus deprived tbem of tbo fruits of victory. Now, after mouths of cumpaiguiug, tho Filipino troops have boon ordered beyond the suburbs, where they have uo quarters and where supplies nre difficult to obtain. All our launches hnve been seized because of foolish rumors that we would attack the Americans und u hen we usked explanations, we were not even auswored. Thc Spaniards, of Into tho euomieB of the Americans, have been shown every consideration, while the Filipinos, their friends and allies are often treated as enemies.'I The memorial concludes thus : "We await the arbitrament of the peace oommission with even greater interest than the Americans, bocauso it concerns our land, onr happiness aud our freedom. Iu tho monutimo, we shall pray for peaco and a perfect understanding with the Americans." HIGGINS WINS The Judge's Dsoision Places Him in Possession of t'ie Esquimalt Seat.

During n recent lull in the Egyptian Lusiness, Lord Cromer, British representative in Egypt, was called home owing to the severe illness of his wife. He had been but a short time in Eug- an d when a very serious turn of affairs iu Egypt demanded his presence I at his post without delay.

Major Walsh declares his intention of taking up the project of building a railway iuto the Yukon from a British Columbian port, so that an entirely Canadian route way be provided. This should bare been done long ago, and it is most creditable to Major Walsh that he should declare his intention ot devoting his energies to so worthy a cause. There is little likelihood of the international conference arriving at any satisfactory arrangement of the Alaska boundary dispute, putting au eud to the absurdity of a foreign country controlling a portion of our coast line to whicli it is believed to have no valid claim. In this view, unless a railway be built from some port iu uoithern British Columbia into tho Yukon wo shall have to submit indefinitely to the restrictions and inconveniences which must always apply when our traffic has to pass through a foreign aud cnmmereial- ly hostile territory to reach our own possessions. Major Walsh, being uu observant man, has persounl knowledge of the disabilities under which Canadian traffic to tbe Yukon at present lios, and be sees the absolute necessity, if Canada wishes to derive the full benefit of her matchless gold fields, for a railway eutirely independent of American control. Thore cau bo uo doubt that the Yukon gold fields will bo productive fm' ninny years to come, and they are certain to attract a large and permanent population, the needs of which must open up a new and ini portaut trade channel, which Canada could and should make her own. At present thnt trade is shared, and largely shared, by American houses in the oities of the Pacific states, aud the fact that Americans claim as theirs and occupy the const line has permit ted them to open ports, on whnt should be British Coliiiubinu territory, from which nearly all the trade of the interior is directed. If Major Walsh's project be successful, aud ho should have all the assistance possible in making it so, the result will be the founding of a Canadian city on the upper coast of British Columbia and should such a port be created, Canadians can hold the trade that should be theirs. It is hoped that Major Walsh will lose no time in getting his undertaking uuder way and that before this time next year British Columbia may see the conipo tition of a line that will give her what rightly belougs to her. WHEN CORRUPT MEN RULE. It is hoped that Mr. Briorly. of the Montreal Herald will not falter in his attack upou the corrupt city council that hns almost brought that city to bankruptcy. Ho amy expect to be pursued by slander and vitnperuti*.n bnt tnese are always the portion of tho mau who assails public abuses. Yet iu the end ho wins not only the cou- fideuce of the community whoso interests ho serves but tbe respect of thoso against whom his attack has been directed. Montreal was always an ill- governed city, but it is now in a worse state than oyer. There must have boen reckless waste of money, if not something worse, to bring the city iuto the coudition it is in now. There is uo money to pay the fire brigade, the police have to appear in iho street in plain clothes for lack of money to purchase uniforms for them, aud many suits are threatend to force payment of accounts long overdue. Thu mixed population of the city, the French element predominating, hns rendered combined effort in securing creditable city government impossible. Men who in well regulated communities could have had no hope of being elected to any position, however* obscure, managed to secure eleotion to the oounoil and in such hands it is not to he wondered at that all manner of oul- pjiic mismanagement should result. Auy city that trusts its government to unscrupulous uud dishonest men must come to grief. | ^ARTHUR R. 5HERW00D... | Real Estate and Insurance Agent. FOR RENT St. $15 per month.

At tbe weekly meeting of the city council held yesterday afternoon there were present Mayor Houston iu the chnir. and Aldermen Hillyer, Madden Mulone, Whalley, Gilker and Teetzel. The question of the amount of laud in the new 001116(617 to be allowed to the various denominations aud friendly societies was discussed at some length, tho Roman Catholics being very anxious to obtain two acres. It was pointed out that the Roman Catholics bury their own paupers and thnt bodies would be brought fiom the Slocan to be buried here in consecrated grouud. Eventually on motion it wns decided to grant the Romau Catholics two acres, aud the Knights of Pythias one acre, on the usual terms. An application was read from Charles Etter asking for the exclusive right to buy the iee from the water works reser- vior. It was considered iuf xpedieut to assign tho right so early so the communication was ordered filed. A communication was read from H. J. Evans offering to present the city with 800 feet of eight iueh pipe, providing they would nut in a sower in the alley way behind blocks, 26 and 27. The residents of those blocks also sent iu a petition for a sewer, offering to pay a year's rates in advance. Two other petitions for agwer extensions were also read. The mayor pointed out that the city had already spent $8264.11(1 on sewers thi.i year, and the supplies ordered would bring the amount up to $10,399.- 62. The sewers asked for would entail the expenditure of another $1300 and the laying of about 1000 feet of pipe. On the motion of Aid. Teetzel tho city engineer was instructed to make an estimate of the cost of the proposed extensions, and to report to the next meeting of the council. A letter was read from J. R. Robertson asking for a side walk to the house he is erecting. It was decided to put in n crossing at the comer of Baker nnd Falls street. Aid. Hillyer drew attention to tho danger arising from Ihe defective state of the side walk on Vernon street, between Josephino and Ward streets. Tho mayor snid there were now two gnngs of men working on sidewalks, and that the matter referred to would be attended to as soon as possible. A number of accounts were then ordered paid, including au estimate for $548 iu favor of Annnblo & Brown for removing bodies from the old to the new cemetery. Ou motion of Aid. Hillyer seconded by Aid. Madden it was resolved that all bills nnd placards bo removed from the electric light polos nnd that auy one placing advertisements of any kiud on the polos in future be prosecuted. The mayor announced that the committee of the Bonrd of Trade wished to meet the special committee of the city council at 7 p. m. or au hour bofore the general meeting of tho Bonrd of Trade. The mayor also stated thot locnl wholesale grocers wero complaining that the C. P.

BOARD DF MOB MS Several Important Resolutions Were Passed. . WILL THE C. P. R. HELP ? Nelson Wants to Be a Divi'onal Point���Distributing Oarload Lots���Local Freight Bates���A Mineral Coleotion A very lnrgoly attended mooting of tho South Kootciiiny Board of trade was held yesterday evening nt wbiob the president, J. Roderick Robertson, presided. Beforo proceeding with the business of the evening tlvo following now members wore elected, W. G. Lillie, G. A. B. Hull, P. W. Swannell, S. S. Fowler, and E. A. Crease. The first matter which camo up was a petition to tho Dominion government for aid in furnishing transportation facilities for the Lardeau country. The petition sot forth tho nnturnl re sources of the country, and how they wore retarded by lack of transportation, The hoard of trade decided to endorse tho petitiou. A long discussion on tho best menus of inducing tho 0. P. R. to mnko Nelson a divisional point ensued. The mayor stated that the present council wonld open negotiations ou the subject, which their successors in office could continue. Tbo proposed liasis of tho negotia- tieus was that the lands of the C. P. R. should ho exempt from taxation, and that thoy should bo permitted to closo the stioets on tho tint at tho west end of the town, wblch Hiiiy wouldj need for yard purposes. Mr. P. W, Peters explained tbat the repair shops wero always situated at divisional points, but tbat "the extent of the shops varied with the amount of business radiating from that point." After the mayor had pointed out that any dofinito proposition would have to be submitted to tho people before becoming binding, a resolution was adopted to tho effect that the bust interests of Nelson would be advanced by making Nelson n divisional point, anil requesting the council to make overtures in thnt direct ii The question of pet ing an appropriation for Fedral i...ildiugs, including a post office and custom's office was then discussed and the mayor recounted thc difficulties the delegation bad encountered in Ottnwa this spring. The authorities only considered the population of a town and not its revo imo producing capacity. He thought that Mr. Bostock bad done bis best, for Nelson iu that direction. A committee consisting of the mayor and Mossrs. Fletcher, Thompson, Graut and .1. A. Turner was appointed to draft a memorial on the subljoct. which will bo printed nud sent to all tho members of the bouse, as well as of the cabinet. Mr. H. B. Thompson then proposed the following resolution regarding tho praotice of distributing ear loads of freight: 'Resolved that the South Kootenny Board of Trado beg to urgo upou the Canadian Pacific, Great Northern and Northern Pacifio railways tho expediency of doing away with the system of distributing car loads of freight throughout the various points iu tbo Kootonay country in small Quantities, at car load rates, as this system militates heavily against* the interests of local merchants to the advantage of wholesale merchants at far distant points, who are not in n position to properly conduct tho jobbing business of the Kootenay eountry. " Mr. F. W. Peters said thnt his information was that the C. P. R. had been driven into it by Amerioan competition, but thore was nothing iu the business. Ho would got tbe management to look into it, and do his best to get it abolished. He could not spoak for the other linos but did uot anticipate serious difficulty in getting the matter settled. Mr. \V. H. Grant bad heard repre sentatives of two other lines speak in favor of its abolition, and the above resolution was then seconded by Mr. Martin. and carried, Mr. Peters promising to lay a copy lefore the management. Mr. J. Bnnnermnn stated that the merchants of Winnipeg and Oalgar.y got a rednlction of 20 per cent, on freight sent by them to retailers in the surrounding country,fund it won'* he a good tbiug if Nelson were similarly situated with regard to Enst anil West Kootenay, and the following resolution seconded by Mr. H. B. Thomson was accordingly carried : "Resolved lhat in the event of the O. P. R. abolishing tho distributing of car J loads, 'Iho South Kootenay Board of Trade urgo upou the company the expediency of Nelson being put on relatively ihe same footing ns regards the local freight rates to points in East and West Kootentiy, as Winnipeg now enjoys lo all points west, and that,similar resolutions be sent lo the Great Northern and Northorn Pacifio railway companies." A committee consisting of the mayor, and Messrs. Gibson anil Fletcher was appointed to approach the pott master general ou the question of getting seven mails a week in Nelson, instead of the Sunday mail lying all day at Northport. and also to seo Postmaster Gilker with reforenco tn the inconvenience experienced by thoso wishing to buy stamps or to register lottors or to get��� money ordors, through the wicket being closed from 4 :lifl p. m. to (i p. in., while the mail is being sorted. It was also decided that the Board of Trado should acquire an exhibit of local mineral products, and the secretary was instructed to correspond with tho various mino owners with regard to getting specimens.

To the Editor of The Miner, Sir:���Iu reply to a coniiiiuujeatiou in The Miuer of the 10th inst., from A. K. Fauqnier, penult me to say that he is trviiif,' to deceive the puhlie wilfully, or else is ignorant of the facts in the" oaae he is laying to bring against the Minister of Mines, re the appointment of a recorder, at New Oeuver. Mr. K. Thompson was only a clerk iu the record ofiloe, and not recorder, as Mr.F. Is endeavoring to oonvinoe the public; however, I have no doubt it would be verv coiivienent for Mr. F. aud his friend's to hnve the privilege of appointing a recorder here, who would suit tlieir purposes. Wo, tho supporters of the present government 'are quite willing to have this matter {investigated, if Mr. P. und his friends wish it. By the way, I might say that tho New Deuver political |nium club held their laat weekly meeting last night and it proved a dismal failure. By publishing this iu your valuable paper yon will be giving aj few facts in the case to the public. Yours, etc, A MINER. New Denver, B. C, Nov. 11, 1898. THE ALBION MINE. A LAND OF SILENCE.

Tho First National bank of Parkvllle was the financial institution of Park county. Its stockholders Included all the best business men of the town and a number of leading farmers, and tho standing of tho institution was all that could be desired. There ls always an odd sheep in every town, and in Parkvillotho odd sheep waa Undo Billy Edwards. Not once in a year did any one mention bis Inst name. It was always "Unole Billy," and he was everybody's friend and nobody's enemy. At the timo the bank was organized he was a man 50 years old. He was simple minded, lived with a relative and picked up a quarter now and then by doing an odd job. Some ono told Unole Billy ahout tho bank, and be stratgbtway sought an Interview with tbe man who was to be president. In a spirit of fun the latter appointed him tho First National bank extraordinary burglar catcher and promised him a salary of $10 per year. The old man was delighted, and tho bank had not yet opened for business when he armed himself with a club and paraded the streets for several hours each night. Every one laughed at him, nnd yet he was so good natured and so zealous that no one hurt his feelings. After awhile ho ceased to act as a night hawk, but ho was "on deck" all day long and became a sort of fixture at the bank. They had lots of fun over TJnclo Billy's stories of tho suspicious characters ho had seen sneaking about and of the bank burglars who had tried to bluff him or run him off, and no ono was jealous of him except tho regular night watchman. About four nights a week Undo Billy would slip out of his bcil at midnight* and walk hnlf a mile to knock on tlie front door of the bank and satisfy himself that the watchman was nwako. Ho was chased away timo after time, with missiles following him as he fled, but he reappeared after a nlgbt or two and waB not to bc got rid of. One dny when the bank had been open about eight months two strangers drove up in a buggy at noon. Only the paying teller and the bookkeeper were in their places. Tho teller was called out to talk to the man in the buggy, while the second ono engaged tho bookkeeper In conversation. Then a third man sneaked in to rob tho open safe, ami he would surely havo made a big haul but for tho presence of Uncle Billy, who stuck closo to his elbow and gavo him no chance. It was not known fur a year that the thing was n put up job and that but for tho old man the (15,000 lying in the safe would have been deftly abstracted. Undo Billy bad a dim suspicion tbat a plot had been batched, but as nothing had been taken his talk of how bo watched tho stranger was put down witb the rest of his vaporing. As is the case with most country banks, the building was two stories high, with the second story finished off for offices. Thero wero six or seven rooms, and for the first year these were rented out to local lawyers. At tho end of the year the party having tho rooms ovor the vaults moved out, and, after they had stood idle for two months, tboy wero rented to White Sc Gregg, Insurance and real estate agents, who came to Parkvllle from Philadelphia wall reconunendod. Both claimed to bo married men, but neither brought his family. They wore going to try it flrst fur a fow months. Their flrst movo was to deposit (8,000 ln tho bank and a box of bonds and valuablo papers. Their next was to Invest In 20 vacant city lots und to take (1,000 worth of Btock ln a woolen mill, then building. In those and othoi- ways they mado themselves solid with ths business men of thu town, and tho public nt largo looked upon thom as valuable acquisitions to tho community. Undo Billy, in addition to being the "extraordinary burglar detector," carried up tho fuel and swept out the offices for tho lawyers, and when Whlto & Gregg took possession ho did not loso his job. Thoy soon camo to understand blm, and ho was allowed to come and go at will, though ho was nover in (ho way when not wanted. Ho was enthusiastic In their praise for tho first three months, ns they paid him liberally, but ono day, In whispered tones and with an ulr of mystery nbout him, ho osked for a prlvato interview with tho president of tho bnnk. When this had been laughingly grunted, ho said: "Mr. Davis, lam not sure about thoso mon, Whlto -Sc Gregg. I shouldn't wonder If thoy Intend to rob our bank." " How will tboy do iti"'asked the amused official. "Byouttlng through tho floor and tho vault." "But tho roof of the vault lsof brick and two feet thick." "Woll, I think they are going to try it They havo a saw, a crowbar, a sledge hammer and other tools ln a closet up stairs. I'm going to keep an eye on 'em." Ho wns encouraged to do bo, but so trifling did tho president consldor the Incident that he did not speak of lt to any one, and in half an hour had forgotten all about it. Not so with Unole Billy, how- sver. On two occasions he was sent to the express oflice by Whlto & Gregg and brought them small but heavy parcels Two or tin*-., times also ho saw a stronger iu their office whose looks he did not like and whom he sot down for a oonsplrator For tho flrst two months the two men, who bearded at tho hotol, nover returned to their office after supper. Aftsrthat they were froquently thoro for an hour or two, and as tlmo passed on thoy staid later. Undo Billy watched all theso things, but kept his own counsel for many weeks. One day ho again usked for a private Interview, and when tho president begun laughing at him ho said: "It won't be long now before they will (Conti usd.i NELSON MARKETS, The following aro the prices of groceries, provisions, etc., as quoted by our local dealers.
