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.

The number of people interested made the work of holding them together more or less difficult, and it is safe to say that C. P. Hill, who has figured in the scheme throughout as the promoter, was the happiest man in Nelson yesterday when the negotiations were finally concluded and the purchase money paid over. : William Blakemore, who has represented ": the Montreal; syndicatevin the negotiations, in discussing the deal with a Tribune- representative, said it might fairly be stated^ that one of the most important mining deals that had Jieen made in the district was consummated by the paying through the Bank of Montreal ofva sum of moneyapproximating $100,000 in cash for the m…
