While the ore cannot be called hard or difficult to break down, still air rock drills aro used in the work to good advantage. While the caving in system of mining is by no means capable of geuerul application, it baa a great field of usefulness and its introduction into other Rocky mountain mines will not lie long delayed.

Do I_amar in his miuing op* orations, we note especially tbe new system cf mining inaugurated at bis Hereof mines, says the Western Miner- We refjr to the new "caving system" ■ahii.li has besn adopted .there in the mining of the vast ore bodies, and so far with marked success. This system though long practiced In the iron mines 'if Michigan ami other middle states, is decidedly a novelty in the mining of goll or silver ore. Tlie application of it io the initios ol tbe Mercur district represents a decided land mark in the developement nnd progress of western mining. Gradually but euiely western men aro perfecting tbeir practices and pio.'1'i'aea in mining and accomplishing vsst economies, not only in Uie treat ment and saving of tbe precious metals, but also iu the extraction of tbe minerals from mother earth. Tbis last step undoubtedly effects an Htiormoua saving in Ibe cost of mining ■he oros ol tlio Golden Gate mine a saving that is two-lold, first, iu the reduction of labor, and second, In suppressing the vast cost ol mino limbering, higelhur with im inherent difficulties snd dangers.

The lower tunnel whicli is now in about 150 feet has not as yet readied tbe ore body although a little mineral bas been met with. Around the Wakefield Mines everything is moving along sm-xithlv nnd the mine antl buildings are in such shspo that the mine can be started up nt sny time with a full crew.

The Americans are P. J. Green and Ueorge Powers of the Battleship Oregon, Thomas Edwards snd Charles Bird of the Sixteenth infantry, Henry W. James of the Twelfth infantry, John Desmond of the (Signal corps, and (i. H. Huber of I/iwe's scouts. They report that two Americans were unable to escape and are with tlie insurgents. They are David Scott of the Twenty-fourth infantry and William Sherby of the hospital corps. Pour deserters are with the FUipinos-^Howard, Marl in and Pord (Californians), and Watts, whose former regiment is unknown. Howard is the only one serving with the insurgents. He ia a captain of artillery. Col. Bell of the Thirty-fourth volunteers arrived at Mangalaren last evening. After a hard inarch and the fording of the Agno, he found that Fowler's company of the Thirty-third had occupied the town for two days. The insurgents, Gen. Alejan- drine commanding, retreated to the mountains behind the town, short of food and ammunition. Besides this, his men were deserting him, and six cannon, which thc insurgents were dragging, impeded their march. Col. Bell proposes to follow the Filipinos until he can bring about a decisive light or they are scattered. Mangalaren was strongly fortified with rifle pits commanding tbe road, but the insurg.nts abandoned tbe place without firing a shot. Three hundred Spanish prisoners who escaped from tbeir captors before the American advance, including civil officials of rank, who had been in the hands of the Filipinos for more than a year, and many officers, have arrived at Manila during the past week.*Tbe Francisco Reyes brought 100 of them from Wheaton. Some were ill and had to -be carried from Tayug to San Fabian in army wagons. Delegations of these former prisoners have visited Gen. Otis in order to thank him for his ho.-pi- tality, which included the furnishing of food and clothes. Senor Jamarillo. the Spanish commissioner, is making arrangements to send them to Spain. Buencamino has been lodged in comfortable quarters at the police station with his family. Other persons are not allowed to communicate with him. He is classed as being the most slippery person connected with the insurrection. He was a colonel in tbe Spanish army and a traitor to Spain. At the time of the first insurrection he tried to sell out the Filipinos and bis present imprisonment incites no sympathy among hia people, while Spaniards think it is mistaken leniency for Americans to refrain from shooting bim cn the Luneta, the fata which was dealt out to better men in the anti-Spanish upri-ing.

Raw wool is higher on the weak at all markets on active demand chared in by the manufactured mater ial for which a good fall demand has 'jeen experienced and in which further price advances are expected. The American market for wool ls still claimed to be the cheapest in the world.

Manila, Nov. 20.—Sennr Buencamino, former member of Aguiiialdo's cabinet, who has been captured, admits th.it the rebel line has gone to pieces. He says Aguinaldo lias gone to Bayombong and it is now merely a matter of persistent chasing in order to catch him. The whole trouble, he said, would soon be ended. Buencamino had $2000 in gold when he was captured, but had no clothing. He came to Manila wearing borrowed garments. Buencamino, who was Again ilda's secretary of state, says that when his party was attacked Aguinaldo's mother, with her 4-yeir-old grandson, g t inlo the brush.

An exciting strike of rich placer gold has been made near the depot In Sumpter, Ore. Hoisting Black Bear ore has begun at Loomls and the famous mine Is at work again. Now machinery works well nnd this week the mill will start, and dividends are expected to begin about the* first of the new year. Other mines showing up well in this district. The placer mines In French gulch, 22 miles south of Anaconda have closed for the season and W. R.

The winze from the adit level on tbe Review mine of Meyers Creek camp, near Republic, has been completed for the present to a depth of 68 feet. At a depth of 60 feet, leaving tbe balance for a sump, the men have stinted to open up another level. A westerly drift will be run. It Is from this depth that soma of the richest ore ln the mine was encountered. The Sixteen to One Mining company st Wallace, Idaho, now has the stationary cables for Its tramway stretched, and the moving cable, which hauls the buckets is up there ready to be placed in position. The mill is not yet ready to run, the force at work on it having been depleted to aid ln the stretching ot tbe cables, but it will be ready for work by the time the tramway Is completed—some time early next month. There is no feature of mine development more important than providing for drainage. Tunnels and drifts should always i-e run at a slight grade, sufficient to In.nir*) the flow of water toward tbe natural outlet or toward a shaft or sucip from which It ls removed to the f Ui lure by buckets or pumps. A drain thttlM not only be provided, but sbotud always be kept open. In large tunnels the drain is often placet! under the center of tbe track, and this nnswi t well where the flow of water is large, but where It is small the drain should l:e placed at one side or both sides of the track, where it ls readily accessible and may always be kept clear of debris. Very often prospectors, in their haste to advance their work, fail to make proper provision for drainage and do poor timbering with dlsaa trims tesults later.

Manila, Nov. 25.—Severe lighting north of lloilo began Nov. 21. Four Americans were killed and 25 wounded, including three officers. The insurgents are retreating to Santa Barbara, but the lighting continues. Oen. MacArthur has returned to Tarlac and has established his headquarters in Agninuldo's former residence. The inhabitants of Sun Carlos met the Americans with a band, formerly attached to the insurgent army, and the mayor, with On. MacArthur and Col. Bell, in carriages, headed the procession through the town. Foreigners in the territory assert that Aguin.ddo was not expecting the American advance for a month, when the taina would have finished. He hud permitted a large part of his army to scatter to their homes and do harvesting, nnd the soldiers had hidden their rifles about their homes. If this is true, many of the rifles are likely to be brought in to secure the $30 offered for each weapon turned over. The fording of the Pumanga river above Tarlac by the Thirty-sixth regiment and a battalion of the Seventeenth regiment wa_ a noteworthy feature, as tiie river is broad und swift. A part of the ouniimud was ferried over on rafts and the remainder swam over, holding on to the life line, which was strung across. On. Wheaton, when MaoArthur communicated with him, was holding San Fabian and two or three of the neighboring towns. <'apt. LcohaiiBer's capture of the town of O'Donnell was a remarkable stroke.

Spokane, Nov. 20.-—A mo.t f->ul murder was committed a short time ago st a lonely spot two miles west of the army post, where a little trail, leading to Fort Wright from a few scattered houses, winds t hiiiii»h barren patches of ground. The evidences of the tragedy were discovered Saturday and go to show that the murder was not only deliberately planned, but also that the assassin dragged the body, -iri-hahly still alive, a quarter of a mile over stony ground and then sought te hide the evidence of his crime by hastily digging a shallow grave in which the remains were laid and covered over with two feet of earth. August Zaspel was the victim. William Frank, known as "Crazy Bill, tha Butcher," i. the suspected perpetrator of the horrible deed. The body was exhumed immediately and now lies in the undertaking parlors pending an inquest Frank was arrested and is confined in tha county jail. Jealousy is the supposed cause of the crime. The number of marriages in Manhattan and Bronx this year will be greater than ever in their history. Hoers Were Routed. London, Nov. 28.—The war department has received the following dispatch from (Jen. Buller, dated at I-ictcnnaritzbuig on Sunday: "Gen. Ilildyard, from Estcourt, made a successful attack Nov. 23, with three battalions, one Held battery, a naval gun and 70 mounted troops, on the enemy occupying llvacon Hill, which dominates William Orange, and had interrupted his communications. As a result of the operations, the enemy is retiiing and the railway and telegraph lines have been restored between Estcourt and Weston. "Our loss was about 14 killed snd 60 wounded. Ilildyard has advanced to a position near Frere, as he hopes to cut off the enemy, who is believed to be retiring on Colenso, via Weenen. Barton, from Weston, has advanced to Estcourt. 'Us Boon as communication is restored I will telegraph particulars. So far aa I eaa make out, the operation is one for which Ilildyard and tbe troops deserve much credit. The railwsy is open to Frere.'' Babies Hush! Don't you hear your baby cry? Babies often grow peevish, fretful, restless and feel bad, poor Httli things, without bei.ng.able to tell you why.

Rumor has it that tho Ksslo Board of Trade has oil. red to act'as a go -between for the Association and the Miners' Union.

A-. wc undeistand it, the men wish to take up their work where they It ft oil lust Juue, with the exception of the length of shifts. There tied be no fear of the Unions forcing the services of any of its members on any company. The average union man of this camp would hardly stay where he was no. waa ted and all are prepared to give $3 50 worth of work per shift. This question of tbe hiring and . dismissing ot tho men look is if tho A.socl.'ttitili wu-ked to pose as the injured party for the benefit of the galleries, while as n matter of fact the question was uever put forward by the Miuers' Union.

Tho proposal to purchase a suitable flag to fly ovei our new school house, should meet with the support of all the townsfolk, regaidlcss of their nationality. At tbe precer.t time more e-p.'ci.iliv should the matter appeul to the Di Hi _h und Canadians among us. While even now British subjects collected from India, Australia, Great Britain and Canada are giving up their lives in defence of this flag, the constant sight of it before the boys sndgiih ot our country will teach them that there is something more within its folds than the mere material, however cheap or costly. The flat; of any eouutry is more than "a rag." Tbe purchasing of a flat; for the Silverton school should be an object lesson and an example for the citizens of other towns to follow. Patriotism •bouid be taught to all children, it will make them good citizens of any country, whether at home or abroad.
