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.

SECURED THE COAL. The United States Ship Alert Coals up at a Mexican Port. Yesterday afternoon about five o clock, news was received in the city that tbe body of a man had heen found in the Kootenay river, about 8% miles from Nelson by Geo. Manbart, bridge foreman on the-GiPt-R.���Mr.-Man- hart was walking along the track, which at this point is quite close to the river, when he noticed the body in the water, stuck fast between two rocks. Assistance was at once secured and the body was'taken from the Water. Mr. Manhart immediately went to Bonnington Falls and telegraphed the circumstances to C. P. R. Agent Hamilton here. Mr. Hamilton notified the coroner Dr. Arthur, who ordered that the body be brought to Nelson. It arrived here on a freight train about 10 o'clock and was taken to the undertaking parlors of D. McArthur & Co., where it was identified as that of Charles K. Burritt, late pressman on the Miner, who was drowned on April 11, while out fishing with W. McMorris, the -..full details of which were given in the Miner at the time. Search for the body was continued for a couple of weeks and was [then abandoned as hopeless, it being thought that the body, should it rise to the Surface, would be carried down by the swif t water into the Columbia. When foundj only the face was exposed and the body had evidently in rising to the surface floated down until it got into an eddy which carried it to the shore. The body was identi- San Francisco, May 27.���Oftoors of the U. S. ship Alert say tbst vigorous means had to be taken by the cruiser to secure coal on her recent trip from South America. At Aoapuloo, a Mexican town of which half tbe inhabitants are Spanish, the oap- taiti applied to a Steamship Company for coal, but be was told that he could bave it at tbe rate of $20 per too in gold, provided that be took it himself, as the Company could not deliver it, beiogjon* traband of war. The captain accordingly took possession of a lighter and sent tbe ship's marine guard to protect those unloading the coal. The wharf was crowded with natives who attempted to prevent the eoal leaving ibe dock. The marines cleared the wharf by a bayonet charge. Tbey then stretched a rope across, lowered their rifles and informed tbe natives that the first one to cross the rope would be shot, Atter tbat 150 tons were loaded on the ship, without further molestations. Previous efforts bad been made through the Consul to secure eoal but without success. WILL ENTER SANTIAGO HARBOR. Washington, D.C., May 27.���The military situation as at' present determined upon by those in authority is to make no forward movement of troops, either upon Porto Rico or Cuba until definite information is received as to the location of the Spanish squadrons, and its possibilities as a factor in the aggressive movements of Spain. That being the determination there is no present purpose to hurry forward tho troops now at the several points of concentration but the interval prior to aa aggressive forward movement will be employed in seasoning the men. Steps are being taken to secure early information as to whether Admiral Cervera's squadron is inside Santiago harbor, and whether the American- squadron has snob an advantage by reas son ot their position outside the. harbor aa toTmika the* esoope^l"the"Spanish praotically impossible. Unless the Navy Department succeeds in securing direct of&oial information respecting tbe Spanish and Amerioan fleets within tbe next 24 hours, through the aid of the West Indian cables, it will resort to the use ot deepatob boats. It oan be again affirmed on the highest authority, and notwithstanding all rumors to tbe contrary, that at the close of the day, the department bad nothing more than a belief, founded upou unofficial advioes that tbe Spanish squadron was lying in Santiago harbor, and that no news ss to Commodore Schley's whereabouts bad been reoeived. However tbe great majority of tbe offioials of the navy department entertain no doubt that Cervera is within Santiago harbor and they have succeeded in impressing tbis belief upon tbe president and the members of the cabinet, It israhnuuneedtoday tbatHoUandr tbe inventor of the submarine boat of tbat name, wae expeoted here tomorrow to disouss witb Capt. O'Neill, chief of the ordinance department, tbe feasibility of using tbst novel craft in an attack upon tbe Spanish squadron at Santiago if tbe vessels are still there. Tbe offioials are disposed to receive in a kindly spirit any suggestion that might prove to be valuable in this line and tbey will talk witb Mr. Holland on the details of his scheme London, May 27.���The weekly newspapers agree that the policy of Spain is to delay the war. The Spectator Bays: "It is clear tbat Spain intends to delay the war as long as possible, hoping that either America will grow tired ot spending money or that Europe disturbed by tbe interruption of commerce and the rise of the price of wheat, will intervene and insist upon peace."

Very few mereanti?* transactions are effected, for everybody avoids suoh transactions ssit ispubltalyan nounoed that all operations will, be considered void. Most business bonsee on the main business streets of the eity are dosing up. Spaniards having property are willing that Spain should eoneede to the demands of tbe United States, bnt the lower classes who are daily instigated by Blanco are fully prepared to meet all exigencies, and id faot are anxious for the American invasion to begin.

He insists that Porto Rico must be taken before Cuba is taken or can be occupied at all. If the war should end then, the President is said to be undecided in the face of these conflicting views about tbe line of action to pursue toward Forto Rioo.

The report Of the Department of Trade .and Commerce of Canada for the month Of March of the current year publishes some most interesting- and encouraging statistics in.this respect., To lake one-striking instance, the value of the export of the produce of Canadian mines for the nine months ending March 31, 1898 is given, as $J * *S1Si 2��4�� -^Sfagainst;; $$, 392,763 for the same, period last year���an increase of,$3,182,44'*-.*' Wbile the values of home;.produced bullion shipped during the-same period are $832,723 as against $286,775���-an increase of $545,948. When it is remembered that the vast proportion of. the mineral of Canada is produced in Kootenay, and that almost the entire increase in the mineral output is due to the . development of Kootenay mines, it must be admitted.thtt English capitalists are but giving another example of shrewd and conservalive business instincts, when, they choose this district as a field for invest ment.

A representative of The Miuer had an interview yesterday with Mr. L. A. Hamilton, tbe C. P. R. land commissioner, who has been in the city for tbe past few days. Mr. Hamilton spoke of tho proposition of the city to purohase land from the C. P. R. for the purposes ot a cemetery. He anticipated that the matter will be arranged in a few days, and announced that theC. P. R. wonld accept any reasonable offer. In the meantime Mr. Hamilton suggested to Aoting Mayor Teetzel, that he should go out and look over the ground again and see if some other suit" able plot further from Nelson could be found aa be anticipated that in a few years the ground now suggested will be found to be unpleasantly close to tbe eity. Messrs. Hamilton and Fletcher took a trip down the river yesterday morning to inspect the C. P. R. lands between Slocan Junotion ahd Slocan City. Several applications have been made by parties wishing to take up farms and there :'��� every prospect of hay and grain being successfully raised iu that section with a ready market to be found in Nelson. Vice-President Shanghnessay hss been obliged to postpone bis trip to Nelson, but may be expected next month. Mr. Hamilton expressed himself as greatly pleased with the progress and push shown by Nelson and stated that all their property on tbe lake frontage had been taken up by wholesale merchants who seemed of one mind as to Nelson being the great wholesale and jobbing centre of of the Kootenay. He intimated that be shared theae sentiments and tbat the polioy of the C.P.R. fouldbe, not to sacrifice their Nelsou property, but rather hold it, as they expect Nelson to become a great commercial as well as a railroad and mining centre. NEWS FROM MANILA. of no little concern about the Senate for tbe past few days, assumed definite shape iu the Senate today, when Senators Lodge and Morgan offered an amendment to the war Revenue bill, bearing directly upon tbe subject. Senator Lodge's amendment was in the words of the Newlands resolution and provides in direct terms for the annexation of the island. Senator Lodge was seen immediately after he had sent his amendment to the desk and announced it to Be his purpose to press the amendment to the end. Henceforth, said he, the two measures must trave together. Both are equally important, and it would be foolhardy for us to forego our advantage iu Hawaii. Tb
