description: The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited 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. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

All lots held by squatters will be offered for sale, but the government has decided to treat the squatters fairly. An appraisement of these lots, with their improvements, has been made, and at the sale the lots will be offered for sale subject to the upset price fixed upon them, and over and above the price realized , from the sale of the land the purchaser will be required to deposit with .he government, for the benefit of the squatter,- the appraised value of the improvements thereon. This is perhaps the fairest way in which the squatters difficulty can be overcome. In cases where squatters have put up a mere shack and have fenced in several lots the squatter's right shall only be recognized with respect, to the lot upon which the shack stands, but where substantial dwellings have been erected the squatter's right will be recognized to one or two additional lots.
