London, Aug 27.—A dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria
today, says: "Three officers and
05 men who were sent north of
Ladybrand, Orange River Colony,
on the right of Elliot's column,
were surrounded on unfavorable
ground and captured by a' superior force on August 22nd. One man
waB killed and four wounded.
The prisoners were released. Am
holding an inquiry.
I have received a long letter
from Steyn, containing an argumentative statement of the Boer's
case and saying he will continue
Ogling; also a short letter from De
Wet to the same effect. Botha
writes acknowledging the receipt
of my proclamation, and protesting against it. He says the Boers
intend fighting. On the other
hand the surrenders lately have
increased considerably."

First   General   Meeting-
Election of Directors
and Officers.
Montreal, Aug 27—The first general meeting of the Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting and
Power Company took place yesterday in the'head office of the company in the Canadian Life building. Mr. Miner occupied the chair.
The company's by-laws were
adopted, and the annual meeting
was fixed for October 2,1902. The
following directors and officers of
the company were elected: 8. H
C. Miner, president; Jay P. Graves,
vice-president and general manager; J. H. McKechnie, Fayette
Brown and A. C. Flumerfelt, assistant general managers; W. H.
Robinson and A. L. White, secretaries; N. H. Galor, assistant to
the manager; R. R. McAulay, assistant secretary; G. W. Woostcr,
treasurer; W. A. Matley and Gard-
nor Stevens, auditors.
A LOW RATE.
Another Appointment.
It is rumored "on change" today
that a well-known local broker,
has been appointed consulting engineer to tho Northport smelter.
Last Sunday the broker in question, made an official inspection of
the works and will make suggestions to the London board of some
needed changes in gold saving
devices.
His report as to the management will be highly laudatory,and
no doubt willactasasoothingsyrup
at the extraordinary general meeting, to be held on the 29th instant.
Slocan Stur Peuple Arranging With  the
Selby and Trail Smelters.
Slocan, Aug. 27.—The Byron N.
White company is cutting down
the foice at the Slocan Star mine.
Negotiations are on with the Selby
and Trail smelters for a rate which
will permit the White Star company to ship the ore in a crude
slate and save the cost of milling
and tho loss which always attends
tbe concentrating of the high-grade
ore of the Slocan. There is reason
to believe that the 3melter people
will give a rate away below anything ever before offered for lead
ores.

attached to CanieronjBrothers' passenger bus ran away from the C. P.
R. depot just before the morning
train left for Robson.. Young Robertson seeing them Btart endeavored to stop them, but-was knocked
down and rendered unconscious.
Upon examination the doctor
found that he had received a severe
blow on the side of the head and
that he was much bruised in several parts of the body besides.
Later he recovered consciousness

HOW IS THIS
MR. GEISER?
A Far Off Rumor That Has
Reached the Evening
World.
THE SITUATION
Bratnober and Braden Go
South This Morning.
A. GEISER AND HIS CONTRACT
Edwin Durant Arrives from London
—A  Meeting with Manager
Macdonald.
(Special to the World.)
Baker City, Ore, Aug. 27.—It is
reported here today that the Rossland Great Western Minos, Ltd., of
London, Eng., and Rossland, B. C,
a rich corporation with $13,000,000
capital intends removing their head
office to this city. Mr. Al. Geiser
having closed a contract to operate
their mines for three years. Bernard M&cdonal, tho old managing
director, being unable to operate
the Great be Roi and sister mines,
recommended the Geiser, appointment. It is also understood that
Whitaker Wright, the great London financier is iiltereBled in the
Geiser contract, and may locate
permanently either here or in
Sumpter. .
Geiser's rake-off is not known,
but "Al." says it will run into six
figures.
Baker City, Sumpter and Buffalo
Hump campB will be denuded of a
number of their best citizens, and
will look forward tojan era of prosperity after the clean up.
"Some men arc born Tinners,
some acquire wildcats, and others
have mines thrust upon them."
Henry Bratnober the San Fran-
ciHco mining engineer, and E. B.
Braden, the smelting expert left-
for Spokane at noon today.
Yesterday both gentlemen visited the surface workings of the War
Eagle and Center Star, and there
was a rumor current on tho street
all day that a deal was in progress
for taking over the Gooderham
properties by an American syndicate. This is merely arevivalof the
story persistently circulated some
time ago.
It is said that Bernard Macdonald met Mr. Bratnober last evening and that the former declared
he had no intention of attempting
to import men here but admitted
making a contract with Al Geiser,
of Oregon, by which the latter
agreed (o turn out a given quantity
of of ore per day from the Lo Roi
mine and treat it at the smelter.
The mine manager, it is said,
stated that he was in no way responsible for Mr. Geiser or his
acts anil lhat the Le Roi company
was fully protected against loss or
damage in the mailer.
It is further rumored that the
San Francisco man warned the Le
Roi manager against attempting any radical move in view of
the known situation in Loudon
and pending the outcome of the
shareholders' meeting on Thursday
next.
Mr. Bratnober is said to hive
expressed himself aa satisfied with
the present outlook of affairs here
and in London, and it is understood
he will return here later in tho
week.
The arrival here of Edwin Dur-
rant this morning is another incident iu the Le Roi episode. Mr.
Durant had nothing to say for
publication. He learned of Whitaker Wright's retirement on arriving in New York and said it did
not surprise him, as the feeling in
favor of a change was very strong
in London before he left. Mr. Dur-
rant was warmly greeted by all his
friends but all he had to say,laughingly, to the Would was, "Yes, I
left you on Marcli 30 and you all
seem to have gone wrong without
me, I hope you will be good now
I have returned."
Al Geiser, the Baker City banker, who has contracted wilh Bernard Macdonald and tho Le Hoi
company to run both the minis
here and the smelter al Northport,
moved up to (lie Lc Roi quarters
during the morning.
■ Al Geiser hold a long conference
with members of the Miners union
at the hall this afternoon. Nothing definite was arrived at but the
contractor seemed very friendly
disposed towards the men and will
meet them again in a day or so.

SMELTER
RUMORS
More Plants at Morthport—
Recent Purchases Made
-Breen's Friend.
Northport, Aug. 27.—A special
to the Tribune this morning says:
^Unless all indications .fail, other
smelting plants are to he built
near Northport in the near future.
Dr. George II. Wells, owner of the
hospital here antl a close personal
friend of James Breen, the pioneer
smelter man of this city, has recently made purchases of real estate in the Onion Creek vail »y,
about five miles south of town.
One of his investments was tho
Peter Ellison ranch, which lies
on the south bank of the Columbia
river at Little Dalles. Dr. Wells
paid $6000 for the ranch, and it is
said that it is intended for a smelter site.
At Little Dalles, the whole volume of the Columbia river passes
through     a    narrow     gorge,   and
it    would      be     possible     to
dam the stream and se-
ourealrnosl unlimited power. It is
claimed that Dr. Wells and associates have seen Ihe excellence ol the
location for a smeller antl intend
to erect a plant there which will
utilize the power furnished by thc
Dalles, ami thus add to their profit!
and cost of steam power, which
amounts to a very considerable
sum in the coufse of a years opera"
lion of a big smeller.

AGAINST CANADIANS.
It has been estimated by a well
known metallurgist that at least
$250 a day is passing off in the furnace fumes at the Northport smel
ter. This is no doubt true; but
what of the amount that is passing into the river? An assay has
been made of slag taken from the
river which gave results of from
$2.50 to $7 per ton. If this be so
the poor shareholders must needs
exercise patience before expecting
any dividends.
Managing Editor Macdonald
complains to some that be is not
receiving fair play. The very fact
that he remains in the camp proves
that a long suffering public are
charitable and tolerant. How
would Bernard Macdonald feel if
he were a British subject, and discovered that the persistent policy
of a company was to favor aliens
against his own countrymen?
When he has a few hours to spare,
he devotes them to embracing Al
Geiser of Oregon. Next, bis attentions aro turned to Bela Kadish
the ore sampler of Oregon. Contracts fo_ wood, iusurance ancl
mining supplies are awarded only
to alien firms, and the people who
protestagainst this are charged with
persecuting Bernard Macdonald of
California, Colorado, Idaho, and
formerly the well known engineer
of the "Dufferin," the "Payne"
the '"Republic" and a few other
failures, not omitting the "Gertrude" and the "Coxoy."
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
It haB been said that prevaricators should have long memories.
Rossland could furnish, a significant illustration. A few weeks ago
Managing Editor Bernard Macdonald of the Daily Miner and Le
Roi, was broadly asserting that he
had the entire confidence of his
directors; that there was to he no
change whatever in the directorship, and virtually suggested that
the London board was recording
agent of his mandates. Presto!
Whitaker Wright resigns, and Barney forthwith announces that he
was "aware Whitaker Wright contemplated taking such a step several months ago." Which Barney
are we to believe ?
R. C. Clute of Toronto, chairman
of the royal commission appointed
to investigate the Chinese and
Japanese immigration question, is
coming in for a good deal of abuse
from newspapers, like the Rossloml
Miner, because he had the hardihood to say that Samuel Robins of
Nanaimo is a worthy citizen of
British Columbia.—Tribune.
The Tribune today gives much
news from the section of the province of which Nelson may fairly
claim to be the most central town,
and its managers aim not only lo
keep up this news service, but to
increase it, so that no one residing
in sonthern British Columbia
need subscribe for the Spokesman-
Review in order to get the news of
British Columbia.—Tribune.
A gentleman named Colistro
lias received two months' hard
labor for hooting a scab
in Rossland; there have been
no arrestp in consequence of a
gentlemtm having incited a London
crowd to lynch Whitaker Wright.
The one set of men have lost their
money, the other merely their
means of living through his actions.

BELA SHAZZARS LATEST FEAST
A   llttluyed account bftlle Mine Own«rH'
Gathering; lit the B. A. 0. oiHc-.n.
How are tne mighty fallen?
What waB once the centre of business, conducted on business principles by W. A. Carlyle; % has-been
transformed into a hive of treachery, conspiracy and double dealing. The sound of revelry escaping through the the casements of
the 13. A. 0. ofTiees, night after
night, reverberates through the
splendid properties now in course
of destruction by Bernard Macdonald. Even in the absenco of the
great panjandrum of the mining
universe, the flow of bowl, if not
the feast of reason proceeds. Nickel Plate Flat was startled by the
howl of a solid body of mino managers, swearing allegiance to tho
Bernard Macdonald, Kadish, Bela
Thompson outfit. It was there
ond then, between drill1.8 and
gorges, unanimously decided to
telegraph Bernard, who was supposed to be in sackcloth and ashes
in Spokane, assuring him of the
loyalty of those who might have
labor troubles of their own in the
near future, One prominent dignitary emphatically declared that
he was prepared to spend all his
company's money, and shed his
mother-in-laws blood in defence
of Barney and human rights; still,
at the same time he thought it
was better for mine managers to
pay the regular scale of wages i n
other districts.
Another of the high priests of
harmony and conciliation, full up
to the top of his shirt colar, was a
little more candid, staling that of
course they wou'd have lo pay the
regular scale of wages outside of
Rossland, but he must admit that
tho troubles fn Rossland caused a
great deal of satisfaction to those
who had properties to sell in outlying camps, therefore he for one
would  never bend the knee.
It was then unanimously decided to have another drink, and following this, another resolution
was passed, duly signed and cabled to London expressing confidence in Barney, Kadish, and the
entire Corsican program.
More drinks followed. The
"Star spangled banner" was then
rendered with hideous effect .
Three cheers were called for the
champion smasher "Barney", and
after the rendering of "He is a pirate king," the guests, much to the
satisfaction of the residents of
Nickel Plat fiat, proceeded down
the hill—and some of them haven't
Stopped yet."
paper in the same community and
he went out to see the kennel own
ed by Common Sense. "Why,"
said the mining man, "the pups
eyes are closed I" "Oh, that's only
natural," replied Common Sense,
"come along on the 29th oi August
and I will show you something."
On arriving tho mining man found
seven pups knocked on the head
hut their eyes were wide open.
"Why, Common Sense, that'B a
queer thing," exclaimed the great
mining man, "Not at all, not at
all" replied Common Sense, "pups
are like some mon; you've got to
knock their brains out to open
their oyes." The mining man said
nothing, but there was a suspicious
glare observable as ho applied the
object lesson.

ISLANDER LO

n
How the Wreck Happened
and Who Is to Blame.
FAIRLY   ASCERTAINED   FACTS
Many Behaved Heroically and Some
Few Badly — The Pilot Was
Intoxicated.
By comparison of ten or eleven
different published stories and
some that were not published concerning the recent loss ot the C. P.
N. steamer Islander, the following
facts seem to be fairly authenticated:   '•
1—The Islander was steaming
about seventeen knots in the dark
where there was a lot of ice in the
water. There is great difference of
opinion about the presence or absence of fog.
2—She was in charge of the pilot
who had come on board some hours
before so dumk that his condition
was noticed by everyone.
3—That the captain was in the
saloon with a convival party.
4—That the ship struck behind or
partly behind the forward bulkhead, so that nothing on earth
could save her.
5—That when the captain took
the bridge he did not realize the
imminent danger, ordered the passengers not to be disturbed, and
negatived the mate's order to lower
the boats. n
6—That through this falal mistake precious minutes were lost before the mate started to get the
boats out and the steward to rouse
the passengers.
7—That when the passengers
realized their position there was
little or no lime left and they acted
no better and no worse than
a crowd of panic stricken people
would, without a strong head, and
hand to direct them.
8—That many individuals behaved heroically and that a few behaved badly under lhe influence of
fear.
