The Nelson Miner text lists subscription and advertising rates, offices in London and Spokane, then abruptly critiques Mr. Altgelas leadership. It describes him as energetic yet misdirected, criticizing his friendliness to disorder and anarchy. The piece contends his career was a failure with no lasting positive results.
The piece questions railway ore trade prophecies about British Columbia and Canada. It recalls Prince Henry's Albany sword incident, notes Frederick the Great’s supposed gift, and discusses census shifts from rural to urban areas in Canada. It also argues that mining should rest on geological science rather than guesswork for successful ore development.
A ten dollar reward is offered for information leading to conviction of anyone who steals The Miner from our subscriber's doors.

The buyers plan large scale development aided by a Canadian Pacific branch expansion and a future smelter, boosting ore output and district profits.
