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.

TO PROTECT PROPERTY,AT SEA. !������"���*��� ' ' i New York, Nov. 8.���At the regular monthly meeting of tho chamber of, commeroe today, Charles Stewart Smith, on behnlf of theexeoutive committee, presented n memorial signed by Charles Henry Butler for himself, i and others, and addressed tq tbe president of the United States, urging him to convene an international oongress at Washington to consider the question of making private property ou tbe sea free from capture during tbe war. Omuhn, Neb., Nov.3.��� Two hundred Cliinmneii brought into the United Stntes for the ostensible pnrposo nf managing two Chinese villages at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition, have disappeared. Where they hnve gono to uo one knows, and uppareutly no ono cures. The Woug Ching Foo company, composed of some wealthy Chicago Chinamen, hnd charge of the concession. They gave n bond in the sum of $25,- 000 to tlip government for the return of the Chinamen nfter the exposition. When the government came to discover the situation orders from the kreaejuY: department were issued to tho federal raarsllalls throughout tbe country to apprehend the runuwnys and hold them for deportation. Many of the people were women, and, it is chnrged, theBe females were sold to the highest bidders for prostitution. The management denies this. It is said that even if the company,is forced to pay" the government tho umouut for the forfeitetd bond they will still moke money, for they receive $1000 from eaoh mule Chinaman brought into the country. SUB8IDY TO BE WITHDRAWN. Is This the Cause of Britain's Activity ? NEW-OHWANG SEIZED The Chinese Minister at Washingtou Gives Some Interestingtlnformation About Russian Doings in Oliin-i. London, Nov. 8.���The governor of Fiji,Sir George O'Brien, in u message to the legislature bas auounced tho government's intention to withdraw the annual subsidy of ��1500 to the Canadian-Australian steamship service. Washington, D. C, Nov. 8.���The Chinese minister, Mr. Wu, is following with interest the developments in the east where tho conflicting interests of Russia and England seem to be ou the verge of open hostilities. Concerning the latest report, that Russia has taken the treaty port of New Chwnug, thus giving her control of nil Manchuria and shutting out the British from trndo iu that great section, Mr. Wn says it is hardly credible thut Russia has taken such a step, us New Chwang being a treaty port.of ulmost as great importance to outside nations as it is to China. Tho treaty ports are freely open to foreign trade nnd us n result, large foreign colonies havo been built up in them. It is atthe treaty ports thnt the United States has established her commerce with Chiua. For this reason, Mr. Wu feels satisfied that any sneh important move by Russia as the taking o f a treaty port would be speedily reported by the United States minister at Pekin and all other foreign representatives iu China. Mr. Wu hus a personal familiarity 'with all the country around New Chwang, for he projected the railway running from Tien Tsin to Kin Chow, whioh was designed to be extended to New Chwaug mid thence northwards, tapping the richest sections of Manchuria. It is at the head of the Gulf of Pechili, and is so situated as to be of great strategic value in oonnection with Port Arthur, now oo cupied by Russia undor a lease from China. Port Arthur is at the extreme end of the Laio Tung peninsula, while New Chwaug is at the threshold of the peninsula, so that together they command all of thnt territory, which seems shaped by nature for military nnd naval purposes. It is this which has led to such activity in the British naval stations, purticulnrly at Wei Hai Wei, across the gulf from Port Arthur. While Mr. Wu does not believe Russia bas occupied New Chwang, and thus givou opportunity for a clush, yet, he snys, Russin may have given color for such reports by pushing forward some of her troops to New Chwang. It is in tho natural lino of development if Russia diverts tho trans-Siberian trade so us to mnko a terminus at Port Arthur, and for that reason is doubtless much coveted by the foreigh commercial interests. A private despatch received today announces that the engineers of the American syndicate which has secured extensive concessions in China, have arrived at Shanghui. They will begin surveys on the proposed line from Hankow to Canton, connecting some of the largest cities and opening up some of th richest couutry in China. Prominent railway men are represented in the company. TO LAND AT PEKIN.

The first clnss bnttle- ship Victorious nnd the flrst class cruiser Undaunted, at Che Foo, nro coaling to their full cupneity. The greatest, socrocy is maintained ns to the meaning of these warlike preparations, but there is uo doubt that important instructions are expected nt any moment. A large Russinn fleet is assembled at Port Arthur. ON THE EASTERN COAST. Sydney, O. B.. Nov. 3.���Tho British warships Cordelia nnd Pelican arrived today from Halifax. Their visit is regarded us extraordinary ns both were supposod to leavo for homo to go out of commission. The ships have suh marine mines and heavy guns aboard, specially shipped at Halifax, and it is reported they will miue the entrance to Sydney and St. Johns, N. F., harbors. NEWSPAPERS SUPPRESSED. Portland, Ore.. Nov. 8.���The Northern Pacific steamship, Ning Chow, arrived nt Portland, 18 dnys from Yokohama. The Japanese Herald of October 12 says: A Pekin despatch under date of October 1, statos that in obodionce to an order of the empress downge, lhe publication of newspapers nnd periodicls in all parts of the country has been prohibited and editors have beeu severely punished. RUSSIANS IN PEKIN. According to a Tokio contemporary, the Kussian force wliich proceeded to Pekin u few dnys ago, consists of 4H infantry and nrtilllory and 20 Cossacks and carried two seven-pounder guns. The bnrracks of the British and Gor- niau forces are simply temporary ones, while that of tha Russian troops, which are now boing constructed, seem to be iutouded for permanent uso. England accepts the railway between Tien Tsin and Shau Hai Kwau besides tho mines in the vicinity ns securities,iustead of the New Chwang Shan Hai Kwnn railway. Russia has expressed her assent to the proposal. NO HOPE FOR IT. Madrid, Nov. 3.���The announcement of the intentions of tho United Stntes regarding tho Philippines has greatly excited the public here. It is generally recognized, however, that it would he absolutely futile to appeal to Europe, which has abandoned Spain to her fate. The newspapers protest vigorously against the "incredible cynicism nnd nbnse of strength of "the Americnus." IRKSOME RESTRICTIONS. LORD MINTO SAILS Berlin, Nov. 8 ���Tho Hamburg- American and Norlh Gerinuu Lloyd steamship companies have protested to the German foreign offlco against the new Americau applicntiou of the restrictions imposed on steerage passengers passing through Vieuua, due to tho outbhreak of the bubonic plague there, which restrictions, the companies claim, are now extended to cabin passengers. They complain that the restrictions iu question are unfair, especially us they do not apply to intending pisseugers who are Aiueri- enn oitizeus. NO FURTHER TROUBLE.

It is the duty of every man to take an interest in the affairs of the municipality in which he lives, and that he may make this interost felt, uot only iu eity but in general government, the franchise was given to him. So important is it considered that men should express their opinions at the polls that oompulsary voting has heen advocated both in this country and in Great Britain. Men who neglect to use the power the franchise gives them and take uo interest whatever in municipal matters aro to blame if mayors nud city councils do not net in the public interest. It is. the duty of evory man to see that his name is on the voter's list and to cast his vole for the host government that can he got. In a short time Nelson will he asked to elect a mayor uud council for next year. Every property owner, householder und ratepayer iu the city is interested iu this election; and thoy should all have votes. But they will uot have votes unless their road tux is paid. All other rates may have been paid, but if tho road tax of $2 bo not jnid the voter's name will not be placed upon tho list, and through negligence, the voter will (imi himself disfranchised. Men who do not wish to find themselves in this position should go nt once to the city hull, pay the road tux and see that thoir names are entered on the list. Then, when they go to the polls they will be in a position to cast their votes for tho best men offering. We would especially draw Iho attention of workingmen tu the necessity of having their names npon tho list. They have as deep an interest in this matter as the wealthiest man in Nelson. It is as important for them as for any that this city Bhould have men at the head of its affairs who will represent it creditably and wisely, and su ndmiuister the publio business that the city will he looked upon ns n place ���where tho taxpayer will lie protected Workingmen should no! fnil to see that they are not deprived of their votes hy negligcneo in paying their road tax. They are tho majority nnd in the elect iun the power will rest with thom. SIGNS OF WAR. THE ATLIN LAKE REGION. Further reports from the Atlin lake gold fields show them to very rich though perhaps not so rich us the Yukon. Still enough is known nbout thom to establish beyond question tlieir great value. As yet only a small area of the oountry lias come uuder notice but prospectors are out iu all directions and doubtless the entire region will he found auriferous. When it is considered that very llttlo is known about the interior aud thnt theso new gold Ileitis were discovered merely by necident it is not unreasonable to believe that thore will bo other discoveries not only in tho neighborhood of Atlin, but along many of the otber streams and lakes of thut region, which may surpass the Klondike in days to oome, Tho conditions there being much more favorable fur working thun iu the Yukon, operations cnn bo c irried on ulniost the entire year anil without half the trouble met with in the far northern region. The fact, too, that the new diggings are in British Co lunihia, where liberal inining laws obtain, and no royatly is chargeable against the output, should attract miners and ensure rapid development, which will mean much to this province. Soon there will be a railway into the heart of tho Cassiar and this will bring the region into close communication with Vancouver, throwing open a vast area to mining men, an urea known to givo strong indications of mineral deposits equal to any yet discovered. When all this is taken Intu consideration, tho wondertnl development in southern British Columbia and the prospective development iu the north as far as the borders of the Yukon, it cau easily he seen that ill n few years this province will hu ns busy a region us any on the continent and far more profitable than any other to thoso who had the foresight to secure locations. Tho persistent reports of unusnal activity in British dockyards and arsenals, the strengthening of the army and the calling upou tbe reserves to be iu readiness give evidence that Great Britain expects war aud that shortly. It is plain that these unusual preparations, involving the expenditure of vast sums of mouey, would^not be undertaken uuless the government had information of the gravest nature to justify them. Such things aro not done in the face of comparatively trivial incidents, such as the Fasohda affair, miles-! such incidents were much more serious than appeurs on the surface. The wnr oflieo of Great Britain is not given to milking public the Information upon which it acts nnd the newspapers have no means of getting at facts as do nowspapers in America. Besides British papers would not publish anything, eveu if they snow all ahout it, whieh might convey information to a foe. Certainly the war lords across the water havo information of designs against British power which will require force to repel, but whether over the Nilo or tho China questions is uot clear, Evidently, from the very hostile tone of a section of the French press, British ascendency in Egypt is what will hnve to bo defended, aud that it will be defended to the death is shown by the resolute attitude of the government, supported as it is by the entire nation. Perhaps the difficulty will ho settled without war, but if war come, there need he littlo fear of the result. Jim Brandou, wss very effective, and added another to his long list of successes.

Tho authorities at Washington have beon figuring ou the cost nnd their report shows that the wnr with Spni.i entailed nu expense of 1187,520,941 on the Americau poople. This is an enormous sum, but when it is considered that the United States will get iu return Cuba und Porto Rioo nud the Philippines it will be seen thnt the mouey wns uot hudly spout. There is, of courso, the loss of hurann life which ennuot be estimated iu value, but [Ihis wus the natural eonsquenco of wnr. Still, ns there is a national deficit this your of 109,000,000, theJAmerican people muy tuko a different viow uud declare that the return is 111 uo wny adequate to tho expenditure. Yet there uve several nations iu Europe that would havo been williug to expend muoh moro than the sum named to secure possessions so desirable. Cuba alone is worth moro than w-toul the war cost and properly governed should reimburse tho Americans for all the expenses of the war. Much more than one hundred millions hns boen taken out of the island by nvnricions officinls, it is said, not to speak of whnt tho Spanish government managed to secure and the island continues a great producer of revenue.

Mrs. Hilderbraiidt 11 wealthy lady hai given a home to Mnry Mnrshull, whiso father, a drunken criminal named Jim Brandon, is constantly blackmailing hor. One night, Duglnss Bland the family lawyer accompanied by his clerk, Peter Grump, comes to induce Mrs.. Hildenbrnndt to buy the outstanding interests in a mine of hers, wliich is really valueless. Before settling the matter they go off to a danco the lady leaving her diamond necklace in chargo of Mary. Julius the old lady's son comes in nnd proposes to Mary, and while they nre tnlk- ing Jim Brandon steals in nud takes tliu necklace. Earlier in the day Jim had written to Mnry for money, threatening otherwise to kill JuliusJ and sho gets Julius to try to find her the mouey. Tho purty nil como hnck together, the ueckluce is missed and Mnry is suspected. To suve his sweetheart Julius uccusos himself with the result that both the lovers think the other guilty. Blnnd discharges Grump,who live years afterwards meets Julius.Jiin Brandon, and Polly the housemaid, who in the meantime has gone 011 the singe, ont in Nevada. Grump recognizes him us u tramp he hnd seen on the night of the robbory, nnd gc s Polly to pump Dutchy, an old N ��ork crony of Jim's.

Jim Brnudou is cnticod to New York, and ou beiug mndo to confi ss the crime, nlso tells how ho stole Mi ry from her homo nt tho instigation of Bland, and thus is not her futl er.

The eccentriclnwyer, with his anxiety to show tho law to overy- huily. kept the audience in ronrs of laughter from the moment ho put his foot on the stage His sceno with Jim Brandon was a very clever piece Of work. W. W. Bittuor, as the rascally attorney, gave n spooinien of polished acting, which caused it to he regretted that he was not more frequently to the foro. W.

Fred Holt, tho lone survivor of the three miners who went down into the Sunset shaft ou their fatal mission ou Wednesday evening, ti Us a graphic story of his frightful experience. "We had beeu warned by George Drowery against making the descent" said he, "for the air was bud aud the hoist could not be worked, so that in case of accident we must needs climb the long ladder 2!i0 feet straight up to the tunnel level where the station wus out. Cnin, however, wns not inclined to believe that there was danger and we started down. Although Drewcry again protested we got into the skip. "At the bottom of the shaft the air was uot noticeably bad, nnd we walked out to tho end of the crosscut, 810 feet away. There was a big pile of muck there from the last blast, and Nolan and Cain Bet to work moving it back, while I was busy with the blook and the foot board for the drill. Wo had been working perhaps lli minutes, getting everything in readiness for tho time when air would be nt hand, when suddenly I noticed the gns filling the crosscut and I started back to the foot of the shaft. Halt way there the air seemed to be better nud I stopped to rest for n moment. Behind mo came Cain and Nolan, staggering along. They wero very nearly gone as a result of the gas they had been breathing. ' Where are you going?' I asked of Cain as he reeled to- wnnls me. " 'I'll try to got to the surface if I cau make it,' ho gnspod. His face wosdrawu and white and in tho flijk- ering light of our candles his appear- anoe was most ghastly. "We plunged ou to the mouth ofthe shaft and I started up. Behiud mo came Cain and NolTin. "Tho air was steudily getting worse, and I was reeling from the effects of lt "Suddenly Nolan's light went out. Anomint later Cain's was also ex- tint nlsh >d. " 'both our caudles are out' groaned Cain huskily. 'For God's snko, Holt, see that yours stays lighted.' "As he spoke a drop of water struck my candle and the little blaze' died away. We were in dnrkness. "With a moan one of tho two men in the darkness below me fell, aud I qould hear his body suddenly strike against the timbers nt tho bottom of the pit. Iu a second more the other one of the two men below me plunged dowu to the bottom. We had not yet reached the 300-foot level, and thoy oould not have fallen 60 feet. "I was gradually growing more A RANGE FINDER is part of the * equipment of every war Teasel. But anyone can And the range they want by coming here.

Somehow I managed to keep hold of the ladder, and struggled slowly up. Overhead I could hear Drewery, the engineer shouting if anything was wrong. I called back fur him to come quickly. "I know that I must be uear the 200-foot level, and I reached out r.cs- perately for something to which to stand. Only the walls of the shaft were within touch. Unconscious. I fell back in to the darkness. "By sheer luck, lhe water column and the air pipe must have caught me, for when Drewery camo dowu he found me, senseless, wedged in between the two. What happened nfter I fell back is nil a blunl: to mc until I found myself nwake on lhe surface.��� Rossland Miuer.

MUST HAVE THEM ALL The Responsibility of the United StateB in the East is Great and Will Assuredly Become Greater. Moutpelier, Ver., Nov. 8.���United Statos Senator Redfield Proctor, who arrived here yesterday after a trip abroad, this afternoon addressed the joint assembly of the house and senate which last mouth re-elected hiin. Senator Prcctor's address was brief and was coanntil to an outline of the foreign situation which now confronts the govermnout of the United States. The senutor said : "The future policy of this country is the greatest question before our people. Hawaii and Porto Rico have beeu added to the nation's dominion and we have become sponsors for the good government of Cuba. We must assume sonic responsibility in the far east, whether it be greater or less. In my opinion, the responsibilities in the far east are bound to he greater. Many wise and patriotic men in the country believe that we should retain no territory or control any pa.'t of the Philippine islands beyond a coaling station, or possibly a single island. I recognize the cogency of their argument, but have failed to see clearly any practical way of carrying out their views. If "any jurisdetiou is assumed in the east, there is no logical stopping place short of the whole of the Philippines. To establish a divided soveriguity would invite trouble. Since that May morning wnen the Spanish fleet was destroyed, it seemed to me practically settled that Spain must surreuderherentire control of the Philippines. " " NEWS FROM MANILA. Victoria,B. 0.
