Though comparatively small, this
week's ore shipments are important,
as a portion of the tonnage represents the initial move on the part of
one of the banner properties in the
coming Lemon creek, camp—the Kilo.
Forty tons were sent out from this
division, divided between the Enterprise and Kilo. The latter ore, as is
known, was sent to Colorado for'scientific  treatment.    The  list cf sliip-

The force of over 2000 marines
which left Tien Tsin on Sunday in
three trains is believed to have
reached the capital in safety. The
presence of this force was urgently
needed, lor the dowager empress
has dropped all pretence and is in
open sympathy with the enemies of
missionaries and foreigners, and all
the mission properly al Pekin is
menaced with the fate of the American station at Tung Chau, where
the buildings were destroyed and
the native Christians murdered by
the soldiers commissioned to protect them. It is the story ol Armenia repeated in Pekin. All
Christian converts and foreigners at
the capital are at the rcy of the
mob, as well as the regular soldiers,
unless marines from 31 ships of war
can protect them.
The great powers are co-operating in a determined effort to protect foreign interests in China.
Reports that Russian troops have
crossed the frontier and that 6000
men from the garrison at Port Arthur are preparing to go to Pekin
under an arrangement agreed upon
by the European powers are not

A special dispatch to the Associated Press from Pekin, under date
of June g, says:
"The situation is growing steadily more alarming. The missionary
compounds were all abandoned
yesterday evening. Forty American* and English missionaries are
gathered at the American Methodist
mission, surrounded by 300 native
pupils, whom it was impossible to
send to their homes. They are

guarded by ten American marines,

A « rn|> ol' Boer Lie*
London, June 12.—A plentiful
crop of Boer reports have been filtering through Lorenzo Marques.
According to these Gen. Dewet with
13,000 burghers is marching on Johannesburg, the Boers have retaken Bloemfontein, where President
Steyn again occupies the presidency, the British have se tained a severe defeat at Elandsfontein, and
have lost 750 killed and wounded
and 150 prisoners in a fight at
Vredefort.
TUi- P»<-U About 11.
Nothing from any source lends
color to these stories, with the exception of the last, which is probably the Boer version of the disaster
to the militia batallion of the Derbyshire regiment at Roodeval. In
regard to President Steyn being at
Bloemfontein, a dispatch from Maseru, Basutoland, dated June 11,says
President Steyn was then at Vrede,
200 miles from Bloemfontein.
Gen. Buller seems to be makiiv*
substantial progress and ought
soon to possess the railroad at
Charlestown.in the northern extremity of Natal, whence presumably he
will advance 011 Heidelberg and effect a junction with Lord Roberts.

A dispatch from Lichtenberg,
dated June 11, says 60 Johannesburg mounted policemen with a
Maxim gun have surrendered to
Gen. Hunter.

A probable explanation of the reports that a British force is moving
through Swaziland comes in a dispatch from Port Elizabeth, dated
June 11, announcing the return of
the British cruiser Doris from Koosi
bay, where she has taken a number
of whale boats with the object of
landing an armed force, presumably
part of a plan to penetrate into
Swaziland. The Boers, however,
got wind of the expedition and the
force was not landed.

St. Louis, Mo., June 12.—A
special to the Globe-Democnil from
Spokane, Wash., says:
"Meagre particulars have reached here to the effect that the Great
Northern east-bound passenger
train, which left here yesterday,
was derailed at Summit, Mont., at
an early hour this morning. It is
supposed the accident was the result of a broken rail. Two engines
and four coaches are reported to
have gone into the ditch. A score
or more of passengers are injured,
but none killed outright. Among
the severely injured is Frank O.
Gantor, Winnipeg."
There are still two or three revolutions in progress in Spanish America, but they do not attract any
more attention than lynchings in

Near Pretoria.
By Aaaociated  Preaa.
London, June 13.—A lengthy
dispatch forwarded to the war office
by Major General Knox from Kroonstad, presumably sent there by messenger, reads as follow*:
"Kroonstad, June 12.—We have
been requested to forward you from
Lord Roberts the following dispatch
from Pretoria residency at 8:30 a.
m. today:
"Pretoria, June 12.- Pretoria
and lohannesburg a-re perfectly
quiet and several of the inhabitants
have expressed gratitude for thc
peace and order which prevails.
"After surrendering the city,
Botha retired to a place about 15
miles east of the Middleburg road.
He had a small force at first, but
during the last few days his numbers increased and his being so near
the town kept up the excitement in
the country, prevented the burghers
from laying down their arms and
interfered with the collection of
supplies. It, therefore, became
necessary to attack him. This I
did yesterday.
"He held a very strong position
practically unassaible in front,
which enabled him to place thc
main portion of his troops on his
Hanks which he knew   from   former
experience were his vulnerable
parts. I sent French w th Porter's
and Dixon's cavalry brigades and
Hutton's mounted infantry round by
our left, and Ian Hamilton with
Broadwood's and Gordon's cavalry-
brigades, Ridley's mounted infantry
and Bruce Hamilton's infantry
around by our right.

"Both columns met with great
opposition. At about 3 p. m. 1 saw-
two of Hamilton's infantry battalions advancing to what appeared to
be the key to the enemy's defense
on their left flank. This was almost gained before dark and I ordered the force to bivouac on the
ground they had won.
"Pole-Care w with his division
occupied our center. As 1 have explained, he could not attack, but he
gradually advanced so as to support
Ian Hamilton and, when I left the
field, he was on the line held by the
enemy's outposts in the morning.
Ilillll ill llrlilllf IIihiI
"I hurried back to get news of
Methuen's movements. On hearing
that the Free Staters had taken advantage of our crossing the Vaal to
interrupt our line of communication, 1 ser.t Kitchener with such
troops as I could then spare to
Vredefort with orders to push south
and communicate with Methuen,
who 1 knew had a very compact
force in the vicinity of Heilbron. I
also dispatchecTa special messenger
toJMethuen, instructing him to push
on at all speed to the main line of
railway.
"These two officers met at
Vredefort road station on tlie evening ot June 10. They marched yesterday to Rhenoster river, where
Methuen gained a complete victory
over Dewet and took possession of
his camp and scattered his troops
in all direction. He and Kitchener
marched today towards  Kroonstad.
No Fear lor Ibe Army
"Her majesty's government need
have no apprehension as to the security of the army in South Africa.
The enemy gained a slight success,
which was unfortunate, but which
will be remedied very shortly, and
it will not take long to repair the
damage done to the railway. As
these diversions are all in existence
1 am now able to hold the line between this and Rhenoster in
strength. Methuen will arrange to
guard it onward as he advances.

"Our losses yesterday were not,
I trust, serious, but I deplore thc
death of that gallant soldier, the
Earl of Airlie. The only other casualties reported as yet are: Seventeenth lancers—Major the Hon. Lionel Fortescue and Lieut, the Ilou.

Gen. Knox adds that Kroonstad

RUSH T2 SETTLE
Expected Result of Impending Close of
the Boer War.
(Cable Letter, by Associated Press.)
London, June <■).—To all intents
and purposes the South African
war, so far as the average Britisher
is concerned, is over. With the
exception of the possible capture of
President Kruger and the homecoming of Lord Roberts, his calendar of probabilities contains noth-
inty of interest. Already China is
becoming a keen rival of South
Africa the burning question of the
day. The capture of soo members
of the imperial yeomanry, which a
few months ago would have thrown
the nation into a fit of despondency,
has passed comparatively unnoticed.
The work ot stamping out the rebellion, for such, according to thc
British point of view, is the nature
of the opposition now encountered,
is too prosaic and too common in the
annals of thc British army to merit
the absorbing attention hitherto
bestowed on each detail of the sanguinary struggle.
.".''What shall we do with il?" is
far more the topic ot the hour than
speculation regarding the expenditure in lives and money that seem
likely to ensue before the pacification of the Boers shall be accomplished. Large numbers of enquiries lire daily made in London anent
the prospects of the undeveloped
crown lands of Natal, while the
rich resources of the Transvaal and
Orange River colony form the basis
of frequent articles. Before many
months shall have passed the steamship companies plying to and from
South Africa, the companies connected with the development of that
portion of the globe and others
equally interested and well informed
. look for a large and steady emigration of trained British agiiculturlsts
and others to fields on which the
blood of Briton and Boer is scarcely
dry. All the letters from the front
indicate an increasing desire on the
part oi a large proportion oi the
irregular and colonial forces to
settle down on this fertile land.
The British high commissioner,
Sir Alfred Milner, it is learned,
• is devoting his whole attention to evolving a scheme of
civil government applicable to the
Orange River colony and the Transvaal and relying to no little extent
upon the influence of the British
settlers to pxercise it. Thc commissioner is in constant comniirni-
caton with the secretary of stale
for the colonies, Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, who has got the
forces of the colonial ofliee hard at
work on the problem, though the
keen sighted officials believe the
day is still far distant when the
military administrators will be able
to hand over the reins of government in safety to the civil authorities. The contingency oi President
Kruger's still undefeated lorce scoring a victory of consequence over
Lord Roberts is generally regarded
as so remote as to be scarcely
worth mentioning.

Sydney, April 25.— Another contingent of Australian bushmen,
several hundred strong, has just
left Sydney for South Africa, and
within the next lew days the contingents from the other colonies will
also be on their way thither says a
Sydney, N. S. W., letter to the
Montreal Herald. The total
strength oi the imperial bushmen's
regiment will be over 2,500, which
could easily have been increased to
10,000. In fact, a reserve force of
nearly 2,000 men has been formed
from the mass ol disappointed volunteers.
The troops will land at Beira,
and, under the command of Sir
Frederick Carrington, form a kind
of armed police 011 the northern and
northwestern bordeis of the Transvaal. Most oi the officers are
Australian-born, many being well
to do professional men, and not a
few celebrities in the colonial world
of sport. All are good bushmen
and excellent rideis. The rapidity
with which they have become trans-
ormed into a regular military force
constitutes another argument in
favor oi a citizen soldier system.
The khaki uniforms are of a
darker shade than those of previous contingents, and consequently
less conspicuous at a distance, ll
looks as if il were destined to seal
thc fate of scarlet and other brilliantly colored uniforms, save for
official or parade purposes, a change
which it has taken the imperial
authorities over a century to effect.
The growth of the military spirit
in Australia has largely affected the
national sports, many of the leading colonial turfmen, cricketers,
football players and experts at other
sports being now in South Africa.
There has, however, been a large
increase in the number of rifle clubs,
and il is estimated that by the e.ul
ol the year Ihe number ol men
capable of bearing arms in the
seven colonies will be over too,000,
exclusive ot school cadets.
The experiment ol training Ihe
senior cadets as mounted infantry
has proved successful, and it is proposed, alter lhe .return of the various colonial troops from South
Africa, to h ive periodical exercises

A contract has been let for running the drifts on the seventh level
of the War Fagle mine and work
was started yesterday. After a
drift has been run a short distance
east, crosscuts will be made north
and south to tap both veins.
Another party ol contractors will
begin sinking the main shaft from
the seventh level tomorrow. The
diamond drill has been taken down
to that level to do some crosscut-
ting.
Work continues on the fifth level
in the upraise and on the west drift
on the north vein. thi the sixth
level drifts are being run west on
the south vein and east on the north
vein. The upraise on the south
vein also continues.
The new hoist is working well
and all the dirt is now raised to the
main shaft house, the auxiliary
hoist on the second level having
been laid off.
Plans are being prepared for the
new ore bins to be erected adjoining
the shaft house. They will provide
a much larger number of pockets of
smaller size than the old ones, ad-
milting ot a better classification
of ore.
The station on the fourth level of
the Centre Star is being timbered
preparatory to the resumption of
sinking, which will take place sometime this month. During the next
ten days drifting both ways from the
shaft on this level will be started.
The crosscut tunnel on the first level
has connected with the raise for the
second level and the tunnel is being
continued as a drift west on the
ledge. It is in high grade ore for

to reveal a still greater widtn.

use until the new hoist is installed.
Since this was completed, the supply
of ore cars has not been sufficient to
make up the ground lost and for
this reason the hoist has only been
run on the day shift.
The first carload of ,second-clas3
ore lor the Trail smelter is being
loaded today at the Le Roi. Further shipments to Trail will be made
until the capacity of the Northport
smelter is increased sufficiently to
meet the increased output of or«
from the B. A. C, mines.
The two batteries of boilers at
the Black Bear plant are ready for
steam, furnishing 600 horse-power.
Good headway is being made with
the installation of the compressor,
all of which has arrived except one
carload. The foundations for the
new hoist are ready for the capstones and will be finished in a
couple of days. The collar sets of
timbers are in on the five-compartment shaft, which is being enlarged
to full size and timbered. Work
commenced today on the preparations for the erection of a new head-
frame. The ore bins at the railroad
terminal on the Black Bear ground,
with a capacity of 1000 tons, are
well along.
Orders have been placed with the
Link Belt Machinery Company
of Chicago for the conveying machinery for the new sorting plant,
which is the last of the new machinery equipment. It will consist
ot three long traveling tables, from
which ihe sorters will pick the

It is expected that nearly 1000
men will take part in the exercises,
which will be a practical exemplification of how lhe British naval base
and the provincial capital would be
defended by land forces in the event
of an invasion. This will be quite
apart from and supplementary to
the operations of lhe navy.
The details, while probably known
to those in authority, are not yet
divulged, but it is understood that
the plan emanated from the department at Ottawa, with the co-opera-
lion, doubtless, of the war office.
The corps which will take part will
include the Royal Engineers and
sub-marine mining corps, the Royal
Garrison artillery, A company R. C.
R., the Fifth regiment C. A. and the
Sixth rifles of Vancouver.
The expense ot transporting the
troops will he borne by the department of militia and defense. The
artillery will man the guns, while
the rifles will act as auxiliaries, and
the engineers in their regulation ca
pacity.
The manoeuvers arc expected to
torm a practical lesson iu defensive-
warfare, while lhe brigading of I
militia with regulars is expected to
have a beneficial influence on both.

Victoria, Jure 11.—Diligent inquiry fails to show that any action
has been taken by the lieutenant-
governor in regard to his ofliee, or
in calling upon some one to succeed
Martin. Rumor, though, is busy.
On all sides one hears thc story
that the governor has resigned.
Some say he has been dismissed,
but he and others in authority are
mum.
Mr. Seinlin and Dr. McKechnie
arrived here last night, and the cab-
inet makers on the street said there
was much in 1 his. Mr. Semlin says
he is here on business aud, beyond
this, will say nothing. Dr. McKechnie was also non-communicative. He was asked in regard to .1
rumor that Ralph Smith would be
called, and said this would not surprise him, but Smith's chances for
success were hopeless.
Many connect J. C, Brown of
Westminster with the premiership
on the strength ol the reported understanding on which he entered
the cabinet oi Martin, namely that
he would be called to form a ministry if Martin made any showing at
the elections. In well advised
quarters it is believed that the governor will taKe that action; though
prominent Liberals say that the
governor will be dismissed forthwith, Hewitt Bostock, M. P., succeeding him. Martin men say that
the premier will hang on to ofliee
until the house meets, it he is permitted to do so by the lieutenant-
governor.
Additional returns yesterday assure the election oi Wells in North
Bast Kootenay. 1 lis opponents lost
their deposits, Mr. Dunsmuir, as
expected, is elected, the returns from
