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.

The foreign war vessels are to be moored southwest of the British ships in the order of their arrival and alongside of them will be moored eight British gunboats��� the Antelope, Gleaner, Shipjack, Leda", Rattlesnake, Alert, Circe and Speedwell. After leaving Trinity pier, the Alberta with her attendant escort will steam along the deep channel between the coast of the Isle of Wight and the single line of battleships and cruisers.

On arrival at Portsmouth the royal yachts will remain in the harbor that night. Minute guns will be fired by all the ships in the Solent and at Cowes, - commencing when the Alberta leaves the pier. Each ship will be directed to cease firing immediately after the tail of tbe procession has passed her. After the procession has passed the Majestic, the forts and ships in Portsmouth harbor will commence firing minute guns and continue firing until the Alberta is alongside the wharf. No standard will be displayed and ensigns and Union Jacks will be at half mast. The bands are to play the funeral marches of Chopin and Beethoven only. The national anthem will be played. On the approach "of the proces- * sion the ships will be manned and the * guards and ' bands will be paraded.' The officers will wear full dress and the men " No. 1 rig " and straw hats.'. Tlie guards will present arms as the Alberta passes each ship, and then rest on their arms reversed until the procession has passed. A detachment of marines and the admiral's band will be on board Nelson's old flag ship, the Victory, lying in Portsmouth harbor. All the sea front and dock yards will be manned by marines and sailors, while Barrow island is'to be manned by boys from the training ship St. Vincent and men from the gunnery ship Excellent, y * The Spanish .battleship rPelayo, ��� Spain's representative at the funeral, is commanded by captain Diaz Moreau, who was commander of the Christopher Columbus which was lost in the battle of Santiago^ - Curling and Quoiting.

A quiet but fashionable .wedding took place at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.sF. A Tamblyn, when their daughter, Miss Louise A. E. Tam- -blyn, was united'in marriage to William G. Lillie. The bride was handsomely, robed in, cream_silk_ draped with costly1 lace. She "also" wore a beautiful boquet of white roses. The wedding ceremonies were performed by Dr. P. Wright, pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian church. Only a few of the relatives aud intimate friends were present. The presents given to the newly- married couple were both numerous and handsome. After the ceremonies were performed a wedding dinner was partaken of. The house was beautifully adorned with flowers and other appropriate decorations. The happy couple left on the 6:40 train for Rossland. They will extend their wedding tour to Spokane and to the cities of the coast. On their return they will live in Mr. Lillie's new residence on Mill street. ���Committed-for���Trial.��� William Hogan, the shoemaker, who demolished the windows and doors of his wife's residence on Mill streot a few nights ago, with an ax, and who immediately after cut father Ferlahd's front door to pieces, came before "magistrate Crease yesterday morning for his preliminary hearing. R. W. Hannington appeared for Mrs. Hogan and A. M. Johnstone for the accused. The charge of mischief was withdrawn and a new charge of omitting to supply his wife with the necessities-1 of life was substituted. After hearing the evidence of Mary Hogan, the prisoner's wife, and Dr. Arthur, Hogan was committed for trial. He was at once locked up in the provincial jail. He will come before judge Forin this morning. Special Services. The preachers of the various religious denominations of the city held a meeting yesterday for the purpose of arranging details concerning the visit of Rev. Mr. Shearen, secretary of the Dominion Lord's Day Alliance, who will be in -Nelson on Sunday, February 10th. It was decided that he should preach at St. Paul's Presbyterian church in the morning and at the Baptist church in?,the evening. In the afternoon at 3:45,a mass meeting will be held at the Congregational church. The principal feature of this meeting will bo an address delivered by Rev. Mr. Shearen. Special music will also be rendered. San Juan, Porto Rico.���Senor Andrade, the former president of Venezuela, sailed for Santiago de Cuba and: Havana yesterday incognito. It is rumored he is intending to meet a filibustering expedition now on its way. - - ��� A. H. Gracey, who is in'charge of the operations on the Imperial. Eva and Challa group, situated near Cambronein the Lardeau district and controlled by the Imperial Development Syndicate of Nelson, has returned to the city after spending two weeks at the property. He reports that things are'showing up in remarkably good shape, and he expects to be able to present a* good report at the general meeting of "the company, which will be held at the board of trade rooms on Tuesday, February 12. This is the largest property in that district, as it contains sixteen claims. The work "required to develop these to obtain the best results will be heavy, and therefore it is probably Jone of the largest mining undertakings in the province. At present sixteen; men are engaged and the" work consists.in the driving of crosscut tunnels. The ore bodies are large and consist of ��� a parallel system of vems���.running through?schist., It {can-be-said without doubt that the work being done -embraces the most perfect scheme ot development yet undertaken in that mining division.* Five tunnels are-being run for the development of one vein. ' Four of "these"are at different levels, while the other is on a:different part of.theproperty. The vein was first uncovered by open cuts to a length of 700 or 800 feet. Two tunnels have already tapped the lead at-theJO and 70?fopt" levels respect^ ively. The tunnels are in ore. The ores taken from the vein are free milling, giving good gold values. The vein also carries ~soine sulpnur- ets which will undoubtedly have to be treated by a cyanide process, in addition to the treatment by a stamp mill. At the inner end of the tunnels the vein has been found to be about 55,feet in width, which apparently contains a rich payr streak to the width of about 2d feet. A winze is now being sunk on the vein. If the same-good-results continue with further development, it will guarantee the erecr tion of a 100-stamp mill. There are several other veins on the property, which are of a lower grade and they run parallel to the one that is being developed. The location is an excellent one^ as it has great~advantages~as'to-water power and other facilities for the carrying on of development successfully. A water right which i can be used to obtain the necessary power has been secured. From other information obtained of the Pool Creek and Fish River district it can be said that it is the most prominent mining center of North- Kootenay. In the district immediately surrounding Cambrone about 40 men are engaged. One bf the other properties which is showing up well is the Eclipse, which is now being operated by H. Jackson of Rossland. It is controlled by American capital. About ten men are engaged. The ore, which is of a silver-lead nature,** gives assay values of about $80 per ton. The iron values are also quite prominent. i Another property is the Criterion, which is situated above the Eva group. It is a free gold proposition. The other properties along the creek are the Alma,"Black Bear, Wide West and a few others, all of which were spoken of, at some length in an issue of The Tribune a week ago. . _ . After Polygamists. Washington, January 30.���The anti-polygamy crusade which resulted in driving Mr. Roberts, Utah's representative from his seat at last session had an echo in the house today during the consideration of the agricultural- appropriation-bill. When the' section making the appropriation for agricultural colleges of the various states was reached, Mr. Landis of Indiana offered an., amendment providing that no money should be paid to the college in Utah until the secretary of agriculture was .satisfied that no trustee or teacher in the institution practiced polygamy. The amendment came as a complete surprise. . Mr. -"King, who succeeded Mr. Roberts, tried Jn vain to head it off wttlfa^ point:, of order and then inveighed against it as "simply an aftermath of the Roberts' crusade. He insisted that polygamy was a thing of the 'past. Mr. Landis replied by alleging that two .of the professors of the Utah agricultural college were polygamists and that one of.the trustees had seven wives and 39 children. The amendment-was adopted. Subsequently when the bill was reported to the house the Landis amendment was stricken out by a vote of 69 to 19. The bill passed. The New Yacht. Glasgow, January 30.���In the frame work of the America's cup challenger already set up, 'the Associated Press learns, are indications ' of some'" striking departures from conventional yacht designing. The most noticeable of these is that the^bulk of the yacht is thrown extraordinarily far forward. The timbers at present in position suggest ��� the framework of the old bluff bowed type yacht more than the modern racing yacht, -n This appearance will be modified when, the frames to carry forward the overhangs are in position. But.it is certain the greatest beam will be forward of the mast. Every precaution is still taken to prevent information about the cup challenger getting abroad. GRAND MILITARY PAGEANT DETACHMENTS FBOM FORTY REG- IMENTS TO PARTICIPATE. Much Alarm Felt in London Over the Possibility of Handling the Enormous Crowds. - Wreckage Along the Coast. Victoria, January 30.���News was brought by the Queen City tonight that much wreckage has been found on the west coast. '/-Four days ago a piece of teak,-believed to be from a ship's���" boat, '.was picked ,iip'-'on Bonilla point!by lighthouse-keeper YDaykin. r~-It*had the letters' Andra cut into' it, and, it" is believed-; to have come from a missing, ship which was blown, rom the Columbia some weeks ago.

ARE NOW THE CHAMPIONS Nelson's Hockey Team Victorious. The Nelson hockey team now holds - the championship of the Kootenays, as they won the game which they played ** with the Victorias of - Rossland. at Sandon on Tuesday night. They were to play with Sandon last evening, but as many of-the boys had to return_to_ their work they came home yesterday afternoon. As they came up Baker street from the station they were greeted on every side with congratulations. The spokesman of the team said that the boys did good work and that their combin- tion was fine. From a few minutes after the game had started until the end of the first half the Nelson boys had things all their own way. They scored four goals while the Rossland team only scored one. In the last half the home team only scored one and the Itossland team, which then played a much better game, succeeded in scoring three points. At the close of the game the score stood 5 to 4. The same team will go to Rossland on .February 14th. D. Blackwood "refereed the game at Sandon. The Rossland Juniors will arrive in Nelson this morning, and will play the Nelson Juniors at the rink .this evening. The home team have put in good practice work each night this week, and the_ game 1 promises to be an interesting one. The ice is in fine shape. -, . A hockey game was played at the rink last evening between the grocery and C. P. R. clerks, which resulted in a victory for-the former by a score of three goals to one.

London, January 30.���The procession in London as indicated by the war office orders issued this afternoon will be a gorgeous military pageant. A detachment of 40 regiments, with an almost equal number of distinctive uniforms, embracing all arms of the service, will make a constantly changing, picture. The uniforms of all the great armies of the world will appear, and in addition to the brilliant- entourage of the visiting kings and princely envoys there will be the military attaches of the embassies and legations. < All the field marshals of the British army able to endure the fatigue will ride with their staffs. The naval corps will also" take part in the procession, whicli will be two miles long. - r , Londoners are just awakening to the full proportion of the obsequies, and the result of the days of mourning, .which to numerous, tradesmen and others means absolute closure aud is causing consternation. Suddenly to stop every industry in the ���United Kingdom . and to turn the masses into the streets with millions hoping .jbo concentrate along the two miles of the route of the ,procession is an undertaking-which has begun, to be fully appreciated ,by -the police, but the public, of London, is. dismayed sto, find^that, Sail the great markets, Cove'nt ~Gar-r den,.Smitbfield and others, -where, the food of the metropolis is supplied, are to, be absolutely, closed at the end of the.weok.- ^ - - ;-.��r ���*<*,; Restaurants and barB will be shut and the crowds will have to .wander in the streets. There is a world in living from hand to mouth; and the closing of the accustomed avenues for the supply' and distribution of food, drink and amusement from Friday to Monday .will mean a loss and inconvenience that no American city could appreciate Loudon, learned last year how totally inadequate the police and military are to protect, and the apprehensions of Saturday's crush are enough to appal Londoners, but apparently these considerations do not deter thousands of every rank from flocking to the metropolis. The Services. Windsor, January 31.���Rehearsals of the distinctive features of_the obsequies are recurring constantly. Practically the whole of tlie royal borough will be draped in mourning, whereas elsewhere only the route of the procession will be thus marked. The service in St. George's chapel begins at 2 o'clock. The body is expected to arrive at Windsor at 1:30 p. m. The route to the chapel, which occupies half an hour, will be lined' by troops two deep, the Eton Volunteers participating with the Guards. The service will be the. ordinary service used for the burial of the dead, with special music. The choir will siiig from the altar steps and the garter king- of-arms will announce the decease of the sovereign and all her rights and titles. Accommodation lias been reserved on the left of the coffin for the princesses. The king and other crowned heads will stand at its head. The service Saturday will be conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop of Winchester and the ��� dean of Windsor. The archbishop of York and the bishop of Oxford will be present. Masses of flowers made ; up in crosses and crowns from rare blossoms that are the gifts of royal personages down to humble posies sent in by children, several thousands of flower pieces including tokens from most of the members of the aristocracy, numerous clubs, country towns, cities, societies, regiments, inmates of workhouses, and even the smallest nosegays are laid out for public view side by side with the designs of the great florists. Some of the flowers are fading. Movements of Royalty. London, January 30.���-During the [ morning king Edward presided at a J by emperor William X. .meeting of the privy^ council.

Berlin, January 30.���The Voer- warts (socialist organ) today printed a remarkable; story to the effect that emperor William's sudden departure for England was not only due to a desire to bid farewell to his dying grandmother, but still more to the prince of Wales' urgent wish to settle a private debt affair to the emperor before ascending the throne. This debt,' the Voerwarts asserted, amounted to 24,000,000 marks, which emperor Frederick, immediately after beginning his reign, loaned the prince of Wales in order to place the latter in a position .to pay accumulated debts to the amount of 24,000,000 marks.

George Kerr was then called to the bar and his'attorney entered a plea of non-vult contendre to the charges of assault. Judge Dixon at once ��� proceeded to pass sentence. He said, addressing the prisoner : " The evidence int this case does not say that you helped in adminstering the drug, but participated in the ravishment of the girl. In one respect your case is worse than the oth��rs. .You were older and had more obligations for virtue. You had a wife worthy of the highest affections and children for your concern, but you disregarded all and permitted yourself to drift away from a proper domestic life, and now you stand here a wreck; of. vice and crime��� and such a crime 1 ' No wonder it shocked the community and startled every womanly aud manly heart. That pitiless ride, that dastardly outrage, the poor victim lay dead by .the roadside, regardless of whether she would be found by. kind friends or by bea9ts. " How gladly would I spare your relatives, but in the exercise of my duty I can not withhold anything which the sentence of law requires. The sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned in the state prison at Trenton' for a terra of 15 years at hard labor." The four prisoners were promptly removed from the court-room after shaking hands with their counsel and a few friends.

Vancouver has a new sensation- Its people are now endeavoring to ascertain through a public investir gation whether one of their boasted charitable institutions, which is " supported by public contributions,, is an orphans' home or a workhouse. Just at present it seems to partake more of the nature of a workhouse than a home, it being stated that the little tots are routed out of bed at 5 o'clock every morning, and forced to perform chores from that till school time. Another feature of the management is said to be ' the regulation of the children's diet in accordance with the amount re- i ceived from friends or relatives for their keep. Thus those who pay ' $10 per month are high in the matron's favor and get jam, while the less profitable lodgers are shorn' of favor and jam alike.

Another objectionable feature is that' under' the > present act-it not only becomes necessary to establish the contract or agreement; but .also to prove that the foreigner has at some time' become a citizen of the United" States. Organized labor, should demand an act which will protect it from the unorganized and foreign element in the United States * and if there is anything���in���the���government's boasted sympathy for labor they will get it. DtrRiNG lhe past year the province of British Columbia and tlie Canadian -Yukon produced more gold than'any two states in the American union with tlie exception of the state of Colorado, its output being estimated by Wells, Fargo & Company at $23,344,560. The production of- the state of Colorado is given as $27,175,000, the next in volume being the state of California with a production of $12,383,- 260. The world's output of gold for the year is given'at $230,000,000, a decrease of $68,000,000. . Of this output that of the United States and Canada was $99,100,733, an increase of $6,000,000 for Canada, and of $3,000,000 for the United States. The principal decreases are shown in Australia, whieh fell off $6,000,- 000, and in South Africa. British Columbia's output of silver bullion is given at $3,750,000, with ores and base bullion aggregating $3,203,250. The silver exports for the year to China and Japan and' the Straits Settlements amounted in value to .$62,525,723' as against $39,880,795 for the previous year, and of the exports $53,091,033 went from London and $0,434,690 from San Francisco. .���andds tor the -effect-: that <?the -government of Manitoba contemplates -the purchase; of the Northern "��� Pa-' cific and Manitoba Company's line?, some 300 odd miles of track.' This is said to be the scheme of -premier Roblin and - Hon.. Robert Rogers, the provincial minister- of railways. As the story goes in Winnipeg the premier has had several interviews with the railway men, and they are reported to be willing to sell provided they get their price, and the negotiations are said to be now proceeding looking to the leasing of the purchased lines to either the Canadian Pacific or the Canadian Northern company. OBJECTING MISSIONARIES Want Harsher-Measures. Pekin, 'January 30.���The ministers' punishment committee -met this morning-to continue the discussion of what measure of- punishment to demand for provincial officials where foreigners have been killed. The ministers refused to .furnish any information as to the result of their deliberations. A meeting of all ��� the - ministers will probably be held tomorrow. Three Italian soldiers, intending to loot, entered a house occupied by Mr. Jamieson, an American, near the legation, supposing it -to be inhabited by Chinese. 'They insulted ' Mr. Jamieson's guests- and Mr. Jamison sent for the guard stationed at the -legation. In -the struggle an Italian was wounded. They were all arrested and turned over to the Italian authorities, who have requested an explanation. The missionaries met last ��� night and prepared final resolutions which ���were presented to the British minister, sir Ernest Salow, 'and to minister Conger today. The preamble sets forth'the fact "not' sufficiently .emphasized in the note" that the Chinese attacked everything representing progress; that-there -has been no -adequate rebuke of the' '-flagrant -violation r of' treaties -and that no indemnity is asked for the Christian Chinese who suffered * heavy loss. Finally, the missionaries say nothing has been inserted in the' note safeguarding the missionaries and they earnestly requested sir Ernest Salow and Mr. Conger to see that the former treaties--protecting missionaries are reaffirmed, that the government should be forced to protect them in the interior, to own property and possess passports, compelling their official acceptance, that friendly intercourse ; between the missionaries and officials be encouraged and that relief -Bhould be found for the suffering native Christians. The missionaries earnestly hope that Great Britain and'the United States will- take a leading part in the coming transformation of China, helping the rulers to enter upon lines of reform which alone can save the country. In Their-New Hall. The Nelson Miners' Union will hereafter' hold their meetings in the upper portion of the C. ��� P. R. building at the corner of Baker and Stanley.

A man from Seattle was interviewed in New York recently about mining affairs iii British-Columbia, and is reported by The .Tribune as saying: "There are one or two men who have been conspicuously instrumental in the development of British Columbia. One is Thomas G. Blackstock of Toronto, a lawyer and financier of ability and more than local fame. The other is sir Charles Ross, a Scotch baronet of ancient lineage and of great wealth. Sir Charles bears a title bestowed upon his sires by the son of Mary Stuart, and he is the head of a family that was ancient before the Churchills emerged from obscurity or the Cecils had been heard,of. Sir Charles Ross is only twenty-eight, but he has managed to put a whole world of travel, romance and enterprise into his youth's summer. He has not lived long, but he has lived much. He has just returned from South Africa, where he was on general French's staff, during a part of tbe war. If he would, he could tell you racy anecdotes of that campaign. He ranks among the greatest landowners of Great Britain, _and he is co-owner with the Russian government in the richest gold mine in Asia. The fellow is an encyclopaedia of knowledge of Asia, Asiatic Russia, and the Slav.' He knows the Russian well, and he likes him, for- Ross has enough of the Leinster blood iu his veins to give a diplomatic blend to.his canny' Scotch blood. Out in the far northwest we are accustomed to look upon sir Charles as one - of ourselves. He,and Mr. Blackstock have done magnificent work in developing the British Columbia country. Ross is not only a soldier und a diplomat, but a mechanical engineer of-extraordinary ability. He has harnessed the mighty Kootenay river. The poWer'that prints the newspapers and -hoists the precious ores from the deep levels of Rossland mines he also supplies. Past as. the ��� county, .develops you will find him ahead, and. always reaping a golden tribute as the reward of his foresight and enterprise. To my mind, Ross is'a contrast to most of. our rich Y young Americans. - Vast estates and great wealth have been his from youth upward, and yet he has plunged into the vortex of business and shown a capacity and an enterprise. little short of marvelous." Sir Charles Henry Augustus Frederick Lockhart Ross is the ninth baron of that title, which was created iu 1072. He was boni in 1872, S���educated-^at-Eton���and-at���TrinityT college, Cambridge, where he rowed in the 'varsity race in 1894. In 1892 ��� he became lieutenant in the. Seaforth Highlanders,. retiring _ in 1894,":and is reported to possess over 336,000 acres of land in Ross- shire. m.wffla-\ BANK OF COMMERCE WITH WHICH 18 AMALGAMATED THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA; HEAD OFFICE: TORONTO.

McLean, a prominent raining man of Silverton, and who is largely interested in mining properties of tliat district, arrived in the city last evening. Mr. McLean is greatly impressed with the mining conditions of his part of the country, and predicts for it a prosperous future. Active mining operations are being conducted on all sides, and a large number of men are engaged in *the camp. He is interested in the" Iron Horse, upon which work is to be resumed at once. Mr. McLean stated that the Hew- ett group, which is situated about ..five miles from the town, was making an excellent showing. This property i9 owned by Mr. Insinger of Spokane and Messrs. Cross & Lloyd of Silverton. About 30 men are engaged at the property and much development is being done. On the No. 3 tunnel they have reached the 400-foot level, and here they have encountered two feet of solid ore giving good values in silver. The ore contains no- lead, aud the. values being found ~ in iron it " is readily ac- ceptedatthe smelters. Since the first of the year the' company has shipped oyer 250 tons. At present they are shipping about ten tons per'; day. .Another tunnel at a lower level has been started on the lead and it is intended that, this will tap the ore chute at .about the 600 foot level! It' is expected thaJ' larger shipments will be made in the near future. '-This - is the only property in that district that is shipping at tho present time. It is rumored, and the information comes from good " authority, that in the near future work is to be resumed on the Noonday and Galena Farm groups, situated about two miles from Silverton. The property has now been idle for over a year and a half. The property was last -operated under an English company, but about a month after work had been suspended it was purchased by Montreal and Salt Lake capitalists. At *the. Galena Farm group over $50,000 worth of machinery has -been���installed��� and-^now���it-only- needs capital to make the mine. a producer once more. Another mine which has a promising future before it is the Vancouver, situated about five miles from Silverton, ou Four-mile creek. This property is owned by a Vancouver company which is represented by Leslie Hill. Since the main lead was tapped a month or so ago by a crosscut tunnel, drifting on it has been conducted. This is at the 300-foot level and here the vein contains four to six feet of good concentrating ore. This work is being conducted about 180 feet below the old workings and after considerable drifting has been done an up-raise will be run to connect it with the old workings. The work is progressing with good results and this is largely due to the good management of superintendent Barker of Butte, who took charge of the work last fall. The Emily Edith group, situated about two miles from the town, is undergoing active development with a force of about 40 men. On this property five tunnels have been run to a considerable depth, and all contain good concentrating ore. In some'. places the lead has been found- to be 20 feet wide. Everything now indicates that a mill will be installed at the property at an eaily date next summer. Notwithstanding, the fact that there is but one shipper in the district, it is expected that before long the camp will produce five properties tliat will be sending large quan- ties of ore to the smelters for treatment. - To Increase Capital Stock. In the issue of The Tribune of yesterday it was stated that Mr. JohnetOne, - representative of the Crow's" Nest Pass Coal Company, had left to attend a general meeting of the company, to be held at Toronto on February 4. It is said that the object of this meeting is to discuss a proposition to increase the capitalization of the'company, which is at present $2,000,000. The idea is to issue 00,000 shares of stock of the value of $25 a share. This will bring the capital up to $3,500,- 000. How the issue will be made will be discussed at the meeting. Mining Records. The following mining transactions were recorded yesterday: four locations.- They are as follows: Enterprise Fractional, on Bear creek, by N. Dehernis and O, Boyer ; Syndicate,. on Rover creek, by Godfrey Birtsch; New King and Yellow Boy, on Forty-nine creek, by M. C. Monoghau aud George H. Keefer. .'- , his CITY. LOCAL NEWS. H. R.
