[3] The three begin publishing the Kingston Gazette with a prospectus in June 1810, followed by the first issue in the fall, with Mower standing for Miles since he was still not of age.

[4] One item of note would be that although the paper cost 15 shillings per year for subscription, the proprietors also accepted wood cords, farm produce or clean rags, the later useful in paper-making.

[5] At this point, tired of the political climate and the harassment by Robert Gourley, Scottish land agent and anti-Family Compact advocate, he decides to sell his stake in the paper.

Miles would sell the paper to Donald McLeod and return to Kingston and the Chronicle as foreman until 1835, when he begins the process of becoming an ordained Wesleyan Methodist preacher.

He would pass away at Clark's Mills (Camden East) on December 13, 1870, his son Elijah in business as printer and proprietor of the Hastings Chronicle in Belleville.
