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.

ESTABLISHED MOND AY > MORNING, OCTOBER J 4, 1901 - DAILX EDITION' WINTER PROGRAM OUTLINED BST DIRECTORS. ST. MARY'S DISTRICT FORGING AHEAB--RAII.ROADS IN CONTEMPLATION. J. C. Drewry arrived in Nelson yesterday from Kaslo, where lie was attending a meeting Qt* the directors of the Truo Blue mine. The object of the meeting was the outlining of tho company's programme for tho approaching winter. Just what will bo dono, however, very largely .depends upon the cost of operating. To' move their ore to Kaslo the owners of tho True Blue have to rawhide and team their ore a distance of five miles and the cost of transport may be so heavy that it will not be advisable to ship very extensively. What the' directors did decide upon, however, was the building'of a new rawhide trail and the improvement of the accommodations at the mine so that work can bp carried on comfortably all winter. .Tenders will then be invited for the" hauling of the oro to Kaslo, and if they are considered favorable extensive shipments will then be made. It is/thought that there will be a scarcity of packing outfits this winter to move tho ore that will be offering. If this proves to be the. case the True Blue .will only ship sufficient to .cover the cost of the winter's development :ers of a mile, but expen- rould be it would be more than offset in the saving resulting from tlio operation of a line offering tonnage tlnoughout almost its entire length as against operating a line over which there are long barren stretches. If this road is built it will probably do away with the proposed connecting link of the Crow's Nest line from Kootenay Landing to Procter, a line which all agree will be very expensive of construction and from which practically no local tonnage is to be expected.
