local news

This source is a section of the Revelstoke herald newspaper focusing on the local news in the area. This article focuses mainly on small jobs or journeys being carried out by influential locals, but at the bottoms asks about those that have found minerals or obtained land with a chance at mining minerals such as gold to contact the paper as this would be significant and happy news for the area. This was written at a time of gold rush in the area and shows the main priority of those living there as the paper is clearly mainly interested in gold and mining related news. This links into the theme of a large pursuit of wealth during the gold rush in this area and shows what news was most desirable in this area at the time, which represents a large wealth focus from the citizens of Revelstoke
