Meekatharra Miner was published from 7 August 1909 to 6 July 1918, by Daniel James Colgan.

Ltd, by Stephen Thorne Upham.[1]

A daily one page supplement was published between 2 January 1920 and 24 September 1921.

In the last issue of the Daily Telegraph and North Murchison and Pilbarra Gazette there was a small public notice advising readers that the newspaper would be discontinued from that date, citing the reason for the closure as a shortage of staff and the inability to purchase spare parts.[2]
