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.

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.
