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.

BALLOONS IN WARFARE, The Spanish Fortifications at Santiago Successfully Examined, ,,, , Now York, July 4,���A despatch to 'T?o General Shafter i The president the Press from Siboney, Cuba, July directs me to sny that you have the 8, via Playa del Este, says gratitude und the thanks of tne nation I For the first timo in the historyof the for the brilliant and effective work of Hinted States u wuv balloon wus sent your noble army on Fridav, July 1. up this afternoon making observations The steady valor and heroism of officers ��� or incalculable benefit to General Shaffer's forces ill the fieldjfcccupiod by the enemy und over tno doomed oity nl: Santiago. It was manned by two members of the .signal corps. Of all the reconnoissanees made inside the Spanish lines by spies from our army no information brought back by them bus been so valuable us that obtained by tne observes in the balloon. Since the disembarking of the troops members of the signal corps pave been anxious to try the balloon nnd today permission was given to use it*. When everything was ready two members of tho signal corps entered the car, guy ropes were released and the ballnnn. looking liko a monster endowed with life, shut up into the uir, while the soldiers cheered their comrades who Wi re going nu a mission full of peril. The balloon wus sent up from an opou elevated space, uot for from General Slinl'ler's headquarters near Sili- niiev. While it soured in the air seeming to olmost touch the cloudless sky, fully isuo feet above the ground, "it* wns in plain view of the Amerioan army und the men on the warships lying off the const. They watched it with the greatest interest, and no doubt il was with mixed feelings of wonder nnd fear that the officers and men in the Spanish army, in Cervera's Heel and the people of Santiago viewed them snaring over the territory held by them. Everything that could be desired was in be seen by the men in the balloon. tu the harbor of Santiago Cervera's ships swung placidly at anchor, and ii.iw.'nnd then launches could be seen passing bock und forth among theni. With teloscopes the Spanish warships, tho camps and the city were, brought into (lose range, und the information gained is now in the possession of Genoral Shatter and seme of the members of his Btaff. Sketches and maps were drawn showing tho enemy's location. CHICAGO PRINTERS' STRIKE. Wnr News at a Premium, nnd Nn Nowspapers Gnme Oui. Chicago, July 4.��� The following iiiilletm wus posted at every Chicago newspaper ollice Friday evening at H) o'clock: "At 8 o'clock tins (Fridays evening the Storeotypers' unions nj-fcifled the ii wspaper pttlTiisliors of Chicago that unless their demands for uu increase ni' wagos from $8,20 to $4 per day, reduction of the working hours from eight in seven, with payment at the mie of 76 cents per hour for all overtime, and other concessions were at OUCO acceded to they would refuse to return to work. "In consequence of this action iim - ������ , in common with ull othor Chicago papers, will not appear mi Saturday." This net mn of the newspapers was in pursuance of nn understanding recently entered into, including among other provisions the following agreement : "In the event of a strike, iu any department of one or more of the Chi- cago daily newspapers of Chicago Ihe mechanical resources of nil our offices shall lie pooled to the extent and with llie purpose that no newspaper shall lie published until all the newspapers can be promptly published tin the same day." Intense interest* in the battle of Santiago renders the situation a peculiar mie, und this fact* wns undoubtedly seized upou by the operatives. There is nn little publio feeling aroused against the operatives because of this phase of the case. The stereotypers have been averaging from $19.50 to $'-2 per week on six dny evening papers, and from $24 to $27 nn the seven-day morning papers. It is anticipated that the influx of stereotypers from all parts of the country will be sn immediate und so great that the interruption of publication will continue for but a few days.

EVERY SHIP WAS DESTROYED. Cervera Made a Desperate Sortie.���Sampson was on the Watch.���Not a Ship Escaped-- Cervera got Ten Miles from Santiago and Beached His Ship to Avoid Destruction. Washington, July 4.���Thu secretary | of the navy received the following despatch today: Playa del Este, via Hayti, July 4.��� To the Secretary of tho Navy: The fleet under my command offers the nation as O Fourth of July present the flcistructt'On Of tin ,vhole of Admiral Cervera's fleet. It attempted to escape at 8:110 a. m., and at 2 p. in. the last of the fleet, the Cristobal Colon, had run ashore six miles west of Santiago and had taken down her colors. The Infanta Maria Teresa, Almlrante Oquendo und Viz- euya were forced ashore and burned and blown up within .20 miles of Santiago. The Furor and Plulon were destroyed within four miles of the port. Our loss was one killed nnd two wounded. The enemy's loss was probably several hundred from gun fire, explosions and drowning. We have about 11100 prisoners, including Admiral Cervera. Tbe man killed was George H. Ellis, the chief seaman of the Brooklyn. (Signed) SAMPSON. Playa del Este, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 4.���The threo Spanish cruisers und tho two torpedo boat destroyers that wero bottled up in Santiago harbor were pounded into helpless hulks by the guns of Sampson's fleet on Sunday in a vain attempt to escape from the harbor. Tho vessels wero finally beached in a lust, effort to save the lives of as ninny of the crews as possible. Cervera on board the Cristobal Colon headed his fleet iu nn attempt to get I away at about 9 :!10 in the morning. So' little were the Americans expecting the dash that the New York, cruising ' up the coast to the east, returned only j m time to see the finish of the fight ; and to fire a shot or two nt the torpedo boat destroyers. The Iowa, Indiana, ; Oregon, Massachusetts, Texas, Brook- i lyn and the converted yacht Gloucester | formed in position to give battle as soon as the Cristobal Colon was sighted ' rounding the wreck of the Merriinac. The American vessels did not at once open lire. They waited until Cervera's ships were out of the range of Mnrrn's guns before giving battle. Cervera headed to the west with tho Cristobal Colon 111 the lead, followed by the Yizcnya, the Almirante Uquendo nnd the torpedo boat destroyers all firing rapidly. All the American battleships opened firo at once and the. Spanish wero soon In a hurricane of shot and shell, but tho Cristobal Colon kept bravely on until aliout ten miles westward from Morro Castle, wheu Admiral Cervera turned his vessel to the shore and beached her. She was blazing in several places, but the guns kept at work, and the white flag never showed until she was completely disabled. The Almiraante Oquendo and the Vizoaya, which were opposed to the Iowa, Texas and Indiana, went down to defeat with a fearful swiftness, covering only half the distance mndo by the Cristobal Colon liefore their captains ran them ashore. Their crews fought with desperate bravery, but their courage was no mutch for our men and their superior gunnery. The Spanish shells went wide of tho mnrk for the'most part,but the Amerioan gun lire was marked hy merciless precision at the two cruisers,, the Almirante Oquendo and the Vizcaya, both of whieh were beached not more than a quarter of a mile apart. The most],dramatic feature of the battle was the contest between the torpedo bout destroyers and tho Gloucester. The latter wus struck several times and is the only American vessel reported damaged. At first the Gloucester fired upon theni with her six- pounders, but they ran past her and engaged the battleships. Finding the firo too hot they turned and attacked the Gloucester again, until both destroyers were afire und had to be beached, while their crews threw themselves into the surf to save their lives. Just before this the New York camo and assisted in giving the finishing touch to the destroyers. Thero was explosion after explosion from the beached vessels. It was at first reported that Cervera was dead, but this was afterwards denied. DESPATCH FROM DEWEY. The Lodrone Islands Captured���More American Successes.

The fourth of July THE TESLIN LAKE ROAD Among the numerous other electioneering promises of the Turner government is the statement that the Toslin lake wagon road will ko buill al ouce. This is but another example of the utter incapacity of the government to manage the affair.*: of the provinco in a business-like way. To begin with, the wagon road ran be of no use to anyone without o line of boats on Tesliu lake, and as uo arrangements liave been made for building the boats, the making of the road would he a mere waste of money. It seems most probable, however, lhat the, government nre simply deceiving the people in a frautio attempt to get votes, and have not the least intention of proceeding with the promised wagon road. The contractors have alroady withdrawn oil their supplies except about 26 men und 30 leums, and with this force it would lie an Impossibility to construct the road, The muds from Glenora nnd Telegraph Creek have boen constructed to a point where they meet, and thence forward if is merely intended In repair the pack trail nnd construct bridges. Thus the wholo iiii nniincemeut is but a scheme nnd u fake, a clumsy attempt to catch the votes of unwary electors. WHO PAYS THE PIPER? The government are wont to lake great credit, for the liberal way in which Ihey have treated the Kootenay in the matter of lcoal appropriations, nnd there hns been mi idea in some people's minds that we have been better treated than other portions of the provinco in ibis respect. A few figures taken from the public accounts will serve to dispel this illusion. Let us first examine Kootenay's contribution to the provincial exchequer, which last year was greater than that of the rest of the mainland and about $11)0,000 more thun the entire revenue of Vancouver island. In the last two years (1896-7) Kootenay contributed $488,806.08 and got bad; $142,600, leaving a balance to Its credit of $391,800. Putting il in another way,in 1896 she jiaidVuie-Iifth of the revenue of the province, and got back but one eleventh, while in 1S0T her share was more than one-third, getting back but one-tenth. Still during those two years there was a deficit of nearly $1,000,000, nnd it will be interesting to see where the money went to. East Kootenay, the Hon, Colonel Baker's constituency, in the hist three years, cnnlriluited but $71,784 and ri ceived.*I I'-1,184,or al about the rate of $3 for$l. The average revenue for the last 8 years from North Vale. Chinese Martin's constituency, hns been $81,000, while for 10 yenrs they have received Ml uverugn of $62,000, again at the rule of $2 for $1, li is lie- ginning now perhaps to be clearer where the hard earned money of Kootenay mine owners and business nun goes to, but these un* mil iln- only instances. Take Nanaimo Oity, which in three years has paid but $18,281 into tho treasury and got buck six times that amount I And so on all over the province. The government have systematically taxed Kootenay lo the limit of her capacity, aud then have frittered it away in unproductive enterprises in other parts of the country, or have spent if in keeping warm and safe the geaU of incapable ministers, and then has always beeu a red-letter day in the annals of tho Uniti d Stales, i In the fourth nf July 177(1, tho declaration of independence was signed; nu the 4th nf July, 1868, Vicksburg surrendered to Grant and the last day's bottle of Gettysburg was fought, which decided the causo of the Union ; on the fourth of July. 1898, comes the news of the victory of Santiago nnd the destruction of tho Spanish fleet. Well may the Americans look upon the fourth of July as their lucky day. and one peculiarly worthy of celebration. When the premier was addressing tho doctors during liis lost visit to Nelson he stilted that sinco tho Klon- diko con piny howtu a diroctor of, lad taken a whole page advertisement in the Jjiiiiiinii Times, that paper had coased i.s criticisms nf the minister.: who woro connected with industrial companies. Probably few beliovod Ihf statement al the timo, for ii is well known that tho Time; cannot he bought. Colonel Gregory, however, nailed this lie the other day in the courso of ti telling sperch in Victoria, by rending a very strung criticism in the Times nf a dato subsequent to the appearing of tho advertisement. Thus another of Mr. Turner's electioneering statements bus 1 ecu exposed.

Tlio power and precision of a modern 18-inch gun, and the great dolicacy of its mechanism, is thus described by u writer in the Engineering News; Al tin' muzzle tho immense projectile has beon forced through 27 inches of Harvoyized steel. At 2000 yards the penetration is S22Jf| inches, Tho extreme range is IB miles, Tho projectile loaves the unit with a velocity nl' 3100 loot per secoud, or 1400 inilos per hour. A shot can be fired ovory one aud one-half minutes for :i period of several hours. Tho force imparted to the projectile, if properly applied, would lifl a battleship bodily throo feet, mul yet this grout machine, weighing 145,000 pounds, is as accurate its a high-grade watch. Tho cost of oach discharge is said to be $2000, but the damage that results from a well aimed shot is inestimable. ,-SH>I ' --.IO-. I I <'AKIM.

"Sixth���Tho starving out of railway charter mongers by refusing to grant | auy fui'ther land subsidies in aid of railway construction, and by insisting wherever cash subsidies aro granted that sueli subsidies shall be by way of loan secured by a lien upon the railways when built. "Seventh���Tho absolute prohibition of the immigration of Chinese into the province, und the exclusion of Chinese from employment by any company receiving any concession whatever from the crown.

"Ninth���Due recognition of the fact that the inining industry is the chief attraction for outside capital to tho province, aud is responsible for the in- creaso in its population; that this in- dustry may be vitally affected by legislation, and its importance demands that we should have in the cabinet* a practical rather than u theoretical representative, "And with a view to securing the above reforms, we pledge ourselves to support by our votes and iiilliionoe the nominee of tliis convention, " Gentlemen,���I offer mysolf ns an independent candidate to represent you in the next Provincial|Parliament. Should I be fortunate enough to secure your support I shall endeavor to bring aliout the following reforms: (1) A change in the Mineral Act to compel till partners in a mining claim to hour thoir share of the assessment work or forfeit thoir interest. (2) An amendment to cause litigants to put tip reasonable security for costs before adversing applications for certificates of improvements! (II) Regular promotion in the Civil Service, avoiding the injustice of the appointment of outsiders over the heads of men already in tbe service, all vacancies being filled by our own people. (I) The removal from tlie Statute book of the discriminatory tax of 06,00 per annum on mechanics, miners and others employed in om* metalliferous mines, If returned I pledge myself to work to the best of iny ability to secure a loctd 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 till vantage. The mining interests of British Columbia inno now reached such proportions that it is desirable thoy should bo administrated by a separate department under the charge of a minister who would devote his undivided attention to the subject. I shall endeavor to rescind the legislation of '90, by whioh inining suits were taken out of the jurisdiction of the County Court and rolegated to the Supremo Court, thereby entailing increased costs jind interminable delays. During the past eight years Kootenay has been represented bv straight government supporters and by an out and out oppositionist, the result in neither case litis been sal isfactory. I consider the time lias arrived when all l he Kootenay members should join in advocating measures for the benefit of this district as a whole and for its special industry, wil hont regard to parly.

In respectfully soliciting your votes and support I declare myself a supporter and follower ofthe Hon. J. II. Turner as the Leader of the only Party in this Province with a defined l'oliey and coherent existence. During my eight years residence in this District I liave been a consistent supporter of his Party in recognition of their attitude in meeting, and in cases anticipating the requirements and expansion of this great mining region. I tun in favor of the following reforms:��� (1) The abolition of the Tax upon working miners, (2) The abolition of the .Mortgage Tax. til) The distribution of seats in the Legislature in dir.-ct proportion to population. (1) I do not approve of the l'oliey of the late Legislative Assembly in using their influence to exclude foreign railroads, such as the proposed railroad to Boundary Creek, (5) I favor certain revisions in tbe. Mineral and Land A els, particularly some easy plan by which the holders of claims can advertise out their defaulting co-owners. (ti) Iii filling all Government appointments I am in favor of appointing bona fide residents of the District in all cases whei'O such can he found competent to act. (7) I believe that tlie Provincial Legislature should bring all the aid and influence at its command to the assistance of the lead mining industry, especially in file direction of obtaining stronger recognition from tlie Federal Government at Ottawa of the importance of tliis Industry and the disadvantages under which it uow labors. If you do me the honor to .elect mp. as your representative I will at all times endeavor to protect nnd further the interests, not only of the prospector but also of all those employed in tind around our mines, recognizing ihat our entire community is dependant upon the mining Industry, I am, Gentleman, Vour obedient, servant, John L.
