The Northern Miner is an online newspaper published in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia.
The Northern Miner was first established in 1872 by James Smith Reid. [1] Reid established the paper only eight months after the discovery of gold in the regional Queensland town Charters Towers. [2]
In 1876 Reid sold the paper to Thadeus O'Kane. [1] As the owner and editor of the Northern Miner, O’Kane devoted himself and the paper to improving the lives of the miners working in Charters Towers. [3]
