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.

BURIED IN HiS TUNNEL May Be Dick Boetciicr's Fate. Kaslo, March 7.���It is rare indeed that a season goes by without a miner losing his life in the Slocan. Snowslides arc the chief danger to be feared at this time of the year, but sometimes a fall of rock will add to the casualty roll. Miners here are very much afraid that Richard O. Boetcher has died a horrible death, away from all friends, miles from all assistance. It is several days since anything' has beeu heard of Boetcher. He .went up to his claim on the south fork of Kaslo creek some time siuce. ���}IIo had driven a tuunel over 100 ��-, feet and was starting to crosscut. The man who is working a near-by claim, being surprised at seeing nothing of Boetcher for some time went over to find out'what had become of him. He found some tracks, but thoy were several days old. He went up to the miners' shack aud saw that it had not been inhabited for several days. Then he went into the tunnel. Some way in he found that the roof had caved in, aud that a carload of rock was "partly buried. Prom appearances it seems that Boetchei' must have been Avorking near the ore car and may have been buried when the rock fell. There is some hope, however, that lie may have escaped, as a short distance beyond where the cave-in occurred it is open overhead, and if ho had boon in that special part of the tunnel he could have crawled out. As soon as the news of tho feared fatality was brought to Kaslo^ a party of experienced miners left for the scene, which is near the Black Fox mine. They will get out all tho fallen rock and will be able to make known tomorrow whether Boetcher has perished or not. HYPOCRITICAL SPEECH BY who retired. Thereupon commandant De Kokwe arrived with a flag of truce. A magistrate who went from Kenhardt to meet him was immediately made prisoner, and the rebels then poured into the town, hoisted the white flag, proclaimed the district to be Free State territory, sang the Volkslied and began commandering. The magistrate was detained for trial at Bloemfontein. The refugee says the natives are severely treated. THE QUEEN DRIVES THROUCH Oom Paul. L'ltreTOWA, March C.���A special dispatch from Bloemfontein says that piesident Kruger, while ad- , dressing a crowd of people daid: "Although God is testing our people, my peisonal opinion io that the limit of the test i.s nearly reached. [f the people are sustained by faith in the time of adversity, God will soon turn the tide in our favor. Jf we have strong faith in God, He will surely deliver us. Tho God of ^'deliverance of the olden' times is the same God now." ' The speech of "the venerable president brought tears to, the eyes of jnen and women alike. The Free State Tolkslied' (notional anthem) was then sung.

SERVICES OF PAUNCEFOTE N Are Eulogized. London, March S.���Iu the house of lords today lord Newton advocated the retention of lord Pauucefote as British ambassador at Washington, and asked whether, in view of the valuable services of lord Pauucefote, the advisability of prolonging his tenure of office would not be considered, adding: "The task of maintaining our relations on their present happy footing is not likely to prove less difficult in the immediate future. In addition to the questions of great delicacy uoav pending, we have to look forward to the presidential election, which is productive of political eccentricities unknown in less enterprising countries." The speaker also said ho thought the present moment was not a happy one for a change. Lord Salisbury said lord Newton had done what the French called "breaking in an open door," for the measure which he had recommended had been taken some days ago. The premier added: "1 entirely agree with any eulogy passed on lord Pauucefote, and I have shown this in the course taken in extending his tenure of office. The only observation which I have to make is that the question implies that this extension is a' reward for valuable services. 1 think it is rather the other way. It is to lord Pauucefote that we have to express our thanks that lie has been kind enough to undertake the work for another period. We have every cause to express to lord Pauucefote our gratitude that at a critical time, and when his remarkable experience iiud singular aiiti- tude for the peculiar duties of his -office render it-desirable that he should continue in it. he has consented to do so.. Lord Kimberley, the Liberal leader in the house of lords, associated himself with the eulogy passed on loid Pauucefote". THOUSAJsIf BOERS ARE Now in Full Flight. Osfontein, March 7.���[Wednesday.] ���Lord Roberts' movement to- day again thoroughly surprised, outwitted and outmaucouvered tho Boci _ who fled a jmost withoutiiring a. shot. The plan of battle was as follows: General Colville's division extended along the north, bank, general Tucker held the centre reserve and the Guards brigade had the centre advance.' General Kelly- Kenny's division was ordered to make a huge flanking movement on the Boers' left, following general French who was instructed to move southeast until opposite the Boer flank a nd then swi ng around tho rear. Every movement was admirably executed and entirely successful. The Boers wore surprised, as was e\ ident from the state of the deserted camp. Twice the British cavalry were almost in a position to charge, bnt they admit that they were foiled by the inaweuvring of the Boers. When' last seen general French was pursuing the enemy vigorously. He was "between them and Bloemfontein, about eleven miles from the right wing. General Colville merely demonstrated against a high mountain occupied by the Transvaal troops, who are fleeing in consequence of the Free Staters retiring from south of the river. It is impossible at present to give the Boers' numbers but it is estimated that they reach 14,000 all of whom are now in flight. Another Boer Lie. Pretoria, March (5���Via Lorenzo Marque/., March 8.���It is olTfieinlly stated here that on Sunday last there wa? heavy fighting at Dordrecht, that the British were repulsed with great loss, and that the London's Streets. London, March 8.���A quaint ceremony occurred when the queen's carriage stopped at the Temple step, when the lord mayor, Mr. A. A. N. Newton, solemnly handed her majesty the sword of state. With a smile the queen touched it and returned it to the chief executive, saying: "Thaukyou for all that my city has done." To this the mayor replied: ."Your gracious majesty's words will forever be treasured in my heart." When the Life Guards trotted on, the purple and ermine and gorgeous uniforms of the marshall aiid sheriffs and aldermen with the gold laced flunkeys and lumbering state coaches were left behind, and the queen drove quickly along the embankment which was black with cheering ' people. . Accompanying her majesty was the princess (T/hrist- ian of Scleswig Holstein and princess Henry of Battenburg. The Life Guards trotted on through the great streets of the city which were everywhere thronged. So quickly were the horses driven, that the crowds scarcely had a chance to cheer before the constantly bowing monarch had passed out of sight. By five o'clock the queen, going by way of Holboriie and Oxford street had returned to Buckingham Palace. The drive had been so hastily planned that no organized attempts at decoration had been carried out, but considering the short space of time it was astonishing to see the number of flags which appeared along the route followed by her majesty. Many American flags were displayed by American concerns and Americans on the street. London, March S.���The queens' entry into London on the .commencement of her visit^ to the metropolis was marked by scenes of great enthusiasm, unparalleled since "the" jubilee" celebration, and ^tho cheers that made -the miry streets ring were almost as much in honor of the British victories iu South Africa as they were vociferous tributes of a loyal people to a monarch whose womanly sympathy lias been strikingly shown since the war began. For hours before the queen even started for London crowds gathered in the streets '.which had been announced as her route through the metropolis, and which were decorated with flags. It was foggy and cold, but none seemed to care. At Paddington the railway station had been cleared of the geueral public, but, outside the lines, the people "waited. W_h.cn the train from Windsor arrived at 12.30 a tremendous cheer went up. Her majesty came down the station platform leaning on the arm of a turbaued Indian attendant, and entered an open landau, in which~-also~~sat " princess Henry of Battenbery ancl princess Victoria of Sehleswig-Holstein. There was a continuous roar of cheers and windows where hundreds were jammed, waving flags all the way to Buckingham Palace. In the house of. commons today, John Redmond, the Irish nationalist leader, declared the Irish people have received with gratification tlio announcement that her majesty has directed that the Shamrock be worn' by .the Irish regiments on St. Patrick's day, adding that the Irish people would welcome this graceful recognition of tho valor of the Irish race Avherever exhibited, and would treat with respect the venerable sovereign about to visit the Irish shore, well knowing that on this occasion no attempt would be made to give the visit auy party significance, and ,that the chivalrous hospitality would not be taken to mean any abatement of their demands for national rights, which they would continue to press until conceded. Mr. Redmond was loudly cheered. his paper dated Pretoria jail, March 2nd, via Lorenzo Marquez, describing the misleading news given to to the Boers by their .officials regarding the course of the war. He adds that great dissatisfaction exists among tho Boers, as supplies of food, especially meats coffee and sugar, are very irregular, and many threaten to return to their farms. OPENING OF THE HUDSON'S GARRISON iN MAFEKING IS Having a Hard Time. Mafeking, February 19.���Horse meat now composesv a considerable part of our rations, '^here is little grumbling. The first pinch of the siege is over aiid the town has settled grimly to stay it, out. What may be typhoid malaria has broken out iu the women's laager, and dysentry, due to the absence of vegetables, is rife among the garrison. We are thrown upon our own resources. Such luxuries as we had are exhausted, or have been 'com-, mandered for the hospitals, which are filled to overflowing. The children's graveyard, close to the women's laager, grows weekly as the young lives are cut short prematurely by shell and fever. We look with hope deferred for relief. The cheerfulness which was characteristic of the early days of the siege has almost deserted us, the men preferring to remain at their posts rather than move about and work up an appetite, which cannot be satisfied. The natives are' in the worst plight. Those who are unable to obtain work are allowed a small handful of meal daily. Many, braving the danger, wander about tho town with hungry faces. If they find work they arc generally too weak to perform it. From their advanced positions the Boers rake the streets aud the market square. It is impossible to dodge their shells. FiVen the headquarters moss' fures'Steuutily. Two hundred and'ninety -persons have been killed, wounded or died of disease. The garrison is so small that it would be criminal to make its weakness public, but there is never as much as a whimper. If no one has suggested the possibility of surrender, it is because we do not -mean to get beaten-, and we are cheerfully enduring the hardships of today rather than to make a* surrender in auy degree possible tomorrow. ' French's Movement. London, March 9.���The Standard publishes the following dispatch from Poplar Grove dated March 8 th: "The movements of the mounted men were somewhat too rapid for the supporting infantry, and as a result the Boer position was turned before the main body could strike effectively. The Boers fell back precipitately and extending���to- the -' Southeast, - fchey- ehecked the advance of the Britibh cavalry with a heavy rifle fire at 300 yards' range.- - Accordingly general French moved southward and outflanked them again, but the Boers repeated their tactics." Kruger's Efforts Vain. Poplar. Gkovb, Thursday, March 8.���-President Kruger, who i.s far in tho rear at present, yestorday tried to stop thi' reti eating Boer.c, who refused to stay. The Blocinfonfein police tried tu stop the retreat of the Free Staters, but thoy declared that they were not willing to fight any longer, and they blamed president Stej'n. The Russian and Dutch military attaches arrived at tho British camp yostoiday. Bay Company's Store. The opening of the Hudson's Bay new stores yesterday was tho success the management hoped and the public expected. The handsome exterior was not belied by the appearance of the interior, which was very handsomely fitted up aud was crowded with visitors. On the ground floor are the dry goods, grocery, cigar aud crockery departments, and upstairs are the carpet and , millinery departments and more crockery. In the basement is a liquor cellar of large dimensions, probably the largest and best appointed in southern British Cdlumbia. On the right hand sidfe is the retail department, iu the centre the bonded warehouse and on the left the large furnace which warms the entire building. Light refreshments were served upstairs, and very many people, especially ladies, partook- of the company's hospitality, aud Ilerr Steiner's orchestra discoursed excellent music the while. The Nelson branch of the Hudson's Bay Company appears to carry a large and well assorted stock of all descriptions, and is said by those who knoAV the Coast to compare favorably with the Vancouver institution. The whole was lit by incandescent gas jets, and presented a very fine appearance as the evening came on. The new store is distinctly an acquisition to the town and is well worthy of Nelson and the big company of which it is a branch. NELSON LOCAL NEWS. Miss E. Dairevau, _ milliner for Fred Irvine & Co., arrived home yesterday from a three months' visit to Montreal;'Toronto, New York and Boston, where she attended all the great millinery open- for the purpose of gleaning all the latest modes and ideas. Alderman IrvinejLs expected home tomorrow. 'A handsome specimen of ore from i___-, __. v the MoilyGibson mine is on exhi- { low, and an arrest was made by the city marshal of Northport. Ciiief Jarvis goes down this morning to bring Gooding back. wlien he received a telegram from special constable Beer stating that he was leaving Spokane with Bowden for Nelson ou yesterday morning's train. Bowden apparently thought better of his determination not to come back, and waived extradition. He and his captor arrived ou the delayed train this morning. The mud slide, at the Seven Devils on the Spokane Falls <fe Northern line proved a greater obstacle than was expected. There was no train from the South on Wednesday, and no train left for Northport yesterday morning. The long delayed train with two days' passengers and mails arrived however about three o'clock this morning. W. GOODING FORCES A CHECK And is Arrested. William Gooding, a young man who is well known about the city, has got himself into trouble through forging his employer's signature to a check for $39, and passing the ���worthless note at Brown's clothing, store on Baker street. Gooding lef t town in a hurry, but was arrested yesterday at Northport, where he will be held uutil chief Jarvis brings him back. Gooding will be remembered by everyone who saw the show given by McEwen the hypnotist as the little fellow who was on the stage nightly and made a particularly good subject. He was employed by the Nelson Sodawater Company as driver of their delivery wagon. On Tuesday night he received his pay, and the same night forged Norman Cummin's name to a check and passed it. Gooding had done business at the store, and was well acquainted there, so the cheek was not questioned. He took the train on Wednesday morning for Northport, and when the forgery was detected and reported to chief Jarvis, a mespage was sent to H. ���C. Cummins, the quarantine officer, who is a brother of Gooding's employer. He located the young fel on Lead Burns, Lead, South Dakota, March 8. ��� A fire which broke out this morning in the Dalkenburg saloon consumed forty buildings before it was extinguished and caused a loss which i.s estimated at $500,000.

Unaware that tho Xorthport train would not start yesterday morning, chief of provincial police Bullock Webster was making ready for his trip to Spokane to interview the absconding Bowden, License Commissioners Meet. An interesting incident .transpired at yesterday's session of the license commissioners for the Nelson district. An application- for a hotel license was made by J. A. Bellefeuille, tho point designated being Mountain View, near Ymir. The application was opposed by the Ymir Gold Mines, Limited, the Black Cock Gold' -Mines, Limited, and the owners of the Roanoke mines. Mr. Fraser, of the Ymir company, appeared to urge the objections raised, and the commissioners finally decided to refuse the application. F. W. Pratt's request for a li- cen.se"at Creston" was~~grantecl from" March' <Sth to June 30th. - .Frank > Campbell applied for a license at Sirdar, ami this was granted to date from March 8th To December 31st, * , _.

Paws, March 8.���The celebrated Theatre Francais burned down today, and is practically a total loss. Tho lack of steam fire engines wa.s largely responsible for the rapid spread of the fire. The firemen apparently relied on' tho ordinary pressure from tho water mains, and thif wa.s not sufficient to carry water to the upper pare of the building. A battalion of troops arrived on the scene and assisted in tho .salvage of the valuable library and archives. Trouble Among Pugs. Nkw York, March 8.���Ernest Hoeber, who was for some time trainer and boxing partner for Bob Fitzsimmons, the ex-champion heavyweight pugilist, has brought suit in the supreme court to recover $1250, which he claims to be due him for services. Queen to Visit Ireland, London, March 7.���8:10 p.m.- It has been decided that queen Victoria will visit Ireland next month, staying at the vice regal lodge in Dublin, which has been placed at her majesty's disposal by the viceroy, the earl of Cadogan. THE SITE OF THE NEW DEPOT Is Decided Upon." The party of visiting C. P. R. officials left last night over tho Crow's Nest road for the east. During the day they went over tho ground about the C. P. R. depot and determined on the program for the immediate future. William Whyte, manager of lines west of Fort William, said last night in regard to the afternoon's conference: "We have decided to proceed with the improvements to the company's property'" in Nelson at once. The plans for the work are _almost completed, and ground will be broken as soon as these are finished. At any rate, the whole work is to be completed within tho year. The new depot will be located at the intersection of Baker and Slocan streets, and in the rearrangement of the yards the main line track will be run around just in front of the building. On the rising ground west of the present depot the new freight sheds will be located, a building amply sufficient. to meet all demands for spme years hence being contemplated. Further toward the lake will be a round house and machine house, with coal bunkers in the immediate vicinity. The rearranged yards will contain some three miles of track, and the estimated outlay for grading is $30,- 000. It is impossible to say just at the moment what amount will bo expended on the new depot, but it will be modern in every respect. "Superintendent Troup and his staff, and Mr. Gutelius, the recently appointed engineer for the Koote- na3's, are to be located in the new depot, but until it is completed their offices will be located in the residence formerly occupied by Mr. Beasley on Baker street. The city ticket, freight and'telegraph offices are to be centrally located up tow u, - and negotiations are pending for premises. Obvious reasons prevent my divulging further information on -tlio last mentioned point.-' You , may expect further and'practical * developments in a month from the preseno time, as. I anticipate that active operations will be com- . menced within that period." HONOR TO BE GIVEN WHERE Honor is Due. London, March 8.���The government leader in the house" of commons, Mr. A. J, Balfour, replying to a question today, said tlio recommendation for tlio formation for a regiment of Royal Irish Guards, of which the first colonelcy \yould be given to lord Roberts, would be submitted to the queen and undoubtedly would be favorably considered. The afternoon < press comments on the same _]iuq_as_that_of__the _ . morning papers in pointing out the great significance of tiie queen'1* visit to Ireland and of her order iu regard to the soldiers wearing tlio shamrock on 4St. Patrick's day. The following from the Times and from the Radical-Liberal Chronicle may be taken as examples of llio whole trend of the > London editorials. The Times says: "The queen, it is evident, has been deeply moved by the courage and devotion of her Irish troops, and has been thinking of the means by which sho can brvst convey to them and their fellow countrymen the gratitude "she feels for their service* so generously and so loyally rendered to her throne.* We cannot doubt the .masses of Irish people will cordially appreciate the spirit in which the royal visit will be made. The queen goes among them as .the representative of no party and no political cause. She goca to pay nn honor and a compliment to the Jiishineu of the nation." The Chronicle says: "Tho motive which prompted the visit doubtless is a desire to see and be seen by the Irishmen in their homes and to contribute directly to that final rccon,- ciliation \\ Inch both nations equally desire, but which tho Nationalists ��� seem to strenuously resist. Another reason, more political, though scarcely stronger, exists in the wish of her majesty to do special honor to that part of her dominions which * ha�� furnished so many of her most gallant and devoted soldier*. Nothing could bo bettor inspired aud more auspicious than this two-fold message to Ireland of the queen's consideration aud esteem." THE TRIBUNE: NELSON B. C FRIDAY, MARCH 9 1900 ,1 15 I *.

The generalissimo of the Rossland contingent, when in Nelson, wanted to know who would likely be the. choice of the people of this riding, and if Bob Green could be downed in the Slocan. For the benefit of the generalissimo aud the men who are paying his expenses, it can be stated that all the money tho mine owners can raise will not change the ����� ill of the people in the Slocan and Nelson ridings of West Kootenay. Bob Green can be elected in Sloca^i over any man that can be pitted against him, simply because he is one of the people. He has lived long enough in Kootenay to know the calibre of most of the .mine owners and mine managers of his district, and he knows that they were all round good fellows when they had to rub up against poor men or go to the wall; but since they have become managers with a cap M, most of them have become snobs with a big S. In Nelson district, what is the matter with electing either Frank Fletcher or John Elliot or G. Frank Beer? They are all comparatively poor men, and have not hesitated to side with the mine workers as against the mine managers. There is one rthiug the Rossland wire pullers will have learned after .the next election, and 'that is, that the people of Kootenay do not hanker to be vassals of tho men that would dominate their workmen 'as the Dunsmuirs do theirs on Vancouver Island. ' t. Disym'i MuiiPiiv of Ashcroft, who desiics to succeed Charles A. Sum- ^lin as West Yale's representative iu the legislature, is probably the first candidate to formally enter tho ���field. I"poii the assurance that Mr. Semlin would not again seek reelection the electors of Ashcroft got out an extensively signed re- quisitiou'in favor of Murphy, with the result that the choice- of the electors consented to accept a nomination. Dennis Murphy is a native born British Columbian, is about thirty years old, aud makes a living in Ashcroft as a lawyer. lie will "oppose "Joe-Martin "unci "probably follow*'. C. Cotton. that of the entire legislature. The task which Martin has set himself on the Island may therefore be summarized by saying that he purposes invading a section already hostile to him personally, and in addition to this encountering the active opposition of the two political parties, the Dunsmuirs and that section of the labor party .which is led by Ralph Smith. It is not likely in view of such a combination, that Martin will carry a single scat on the Island, save possibly one of the Victoria districts, in the event of Yates and Eberts coming together. The Island was [Mr. Turner's stronghold, and it may be counted upon remaining so. Martin's outlook on the Mainland is not over hopeful. It is the late government's stronghold. Leaving Cassiar out of the matter, what is now the Cotton party rep resents sixteen out of the twenty-two seats. It is going back to the country as a party, and to secure anything like a following Martin would have to capture the entire row of seats. It is too great a change even for Martin to effect. When The Tiwhune 'announced that it was opposed to the introduction of federal party linos in provincial politics, the genial old gentleman who conducts the Miner said it was because mayor Houston favored a system by _which adventurers and shysters could come to the top. As the Conservative leaders are divided upon this same ques* tion, and the Liberal organization has unanimously decided against the introduction of party liucs,;the province.must be full of adventurers and shysters. That is if everyone who disagrees, with the aforesaid genial old gentleman thereby be conies an adventurer or a shyster. Wholesale Houses NELSON B.C. GROCERIES.

The California Enquiry. o Poutlani), Maine, March 7.���The court of inquiry which has been considering the stranding of the Allan line steamer California on Jiaiu Island ledge,. Portland harbor, two weeks ago, today made public its decision, which is to the effect that while the master committed an error in judgment,-it. was not sufficient to justify the suspension of his certificate. The error was in not making sufficient'-'allowance for the combined action of tide, wind and sea-' The court finds that the pilot should not have left the A^essel when ho did, and commends the officers and crew of the California i'or their conduct after the accident. The Nethersolo Case. New York,-March 7.���The counsel for Olga Nethersole, the actress,. Marcus Meyer, Hamilton Reveille and Theodore Moss, all of whom had been held in $500 bail by .magistrate Mott for trial in special sessions for the production of the play called Sappho appeared before justice Fursman in the criminal term of the supreme court today, and argued a motion for the removal of the case to the general session to be tried by a jury. Justice i^ursman took the papers and said he would hand down his decision soon. in tho formation of an international commission to examine and report upon the diversion of the waters that tiro the boundaries of I Canada and the United States. It appeared from the papers before tho committees, comprising copies of correspondence between the president of the commiisioneis of the New York state reservation at Niagara and tho secretary of state, and between the governor of New York and the secretary of state, that by reason of the diversion of tlio waters of tho lakes through the Welland canal and the proposed diversion of waters iu great volume to be taken under grants for the construction of the Chicago drainage canal, the proposed canal from Georgian lake to the Ottawa river and other projected waterways, together with like diversions of waters in considerable quantities from the Niagara river above the falls of Niagara for the generation of mechanical power under grants from the state of New York and the province of Ontario, the water levels of the several lakes forming a portion of the boundary between the United States and Canada are reduced, and will be in future, under like grants, so greatly diminished as to constitute a serious menace to navigation on these waters. Under these circumstances the committee decided that the commission should be authorized, and reeom- , mended tho passage of the resol ution. scribed by the peopi-; of the country. It amounted to $98,4:82.07. Burghers Encouraged. Glkncob, Natal, Saturday, March 3.���President Kruger returned to Pretoria yesterday.

A marriage license was issued yesterday to William Franklin Sage and Ressa Del Glaudon. '' A. B. Mackenzie, of Rossland, and E. J. Coyle, of Vancouver, two of the Canadian Pacific's most, popular passenger agents, spent yesterday in Nelson wondering where they were at. Having easily passed Rossland in the race, Nelson is now running Vancouver for first place on the Mainland.
