The inhabitants were leaviug the town that day, hut communication with Ladysmitb has since been interrupted. The intention if the Boers is to isolate the place, and march dowu to capture Durban preventing the landing of British troops at that point. An army order has been Issued to mobilize 35 battalions of troops by November 30.

It now appears -s if it were only the arrival of the naval contingent from the Powerful which prevented worse disaster. A revised report of total carnalities among the tank and file at the Farquahr Farm fight shows 57 killed, 227 wounded and 473 missing.

New York, November '3 --Notwithstanding lhe rain, every scat hi the Coney Island Sporting Clubhouse/vaa occupied to night nt half yast 9 o'clock. Among tbe notables present were Kid McCoy, Bob FHzsimmom, and Jim Corbett, who announced lhat they world challenge the winner. Tiie betting favored Jeffries 100 to 70;. but the backers of Sharkey, wiiile they bad plenty of money apparently were holding off for greater otitis, The crowd wus about equally divided in their sympathies. Jeffries entered the ring at 10 o'clock au I Sharkey two minutes later. When the former stripped it was seen lhat his body was covered with red blotches. At 10.15 the men advanced and received instructions from referee George Siler. Jeffries announced his weight at 210 pounds, and Sharkey said he weighed 185. Tom O'Rourke put on Sharkey's gloves, aud Tommy Ryan adjusted Jeffries' mitts. Tbe fight lasted for 25 rounds, and neither man received a knock out blow, but Jeffries was given the decisicn on points. ,It was the greatest fistic battle ever known in a prize ring. Sharkey was aggressive from the start, while Jeffries was on tbe defensive up to thc 17th round. Everything indicated that Sharkey would be tbe winner, but after thnt Jeffries seemed to grow fresher, while his antagonist grew weaker, and it is 'generally considered that Jeffries would have knocked bis man out in one or two more rounds. It was a close contest, and the hardest fight either man ever went against, A Double Wedding. Miss Jessie Underbill and Mr. Edson Dilse, Miss Annie Bennett and Thomas Robson were the contracting parlies in a pretty double wedding that occurred ot Fort Steele last Wednesday night, Rev.

THE PAY ROLL IS BEING SURVEYED Pay Roll, The second instalment on the shares of this company have all been paid in, showing practically that tbe public has full confidence in this property, and reports from the ground confirms Ibis confidence, as all who see the mine seem con fide m; of its future. The government has made an appro- pration for the building of a road from lhe mine to lhe railway, and the work is now under headway, A. W. McVittie has completed his returns of survey of the Welcome group up the St. Marys and is now at work surveying the Pay Roll, so that -an application may be made (or a crown graut. More Good News of the Upper St. Mary Country—East of thc River. Excess & Copper Crown. Tbe Theo Gold Mining company which has acquired the Copper Crown & Excess mineral claims, Is now offering a i-h-ck of a hundred thousand shares to the public. These properties are only shout five miles from tbe town and extensive work there will be a direct and lastiug benefit to Ihe coumminty. Competent judges, who have watched the development uf tbe ledge in the shaft 011 the Excess, are confident real, proper development will result in a permanent mine, which will contribute a large qunutlty of copper ore to the worlds supply. The quality of the ore improved steaedily from the surface down to the bottom of Ihe shaft, which uow shows n ledge of over eight feet lu width, with several feet oi ore, Essaying ten per cent oe copper. Tbe gold and silver values are not as yet constant, but some very high assayi have been received. The ore will eventually be a high grade of copper with probably sufficient gold and silver values to very'appreclabty increase the receipts The bunging woll is perfect and constant for the 60 odd feet so far sunk, and indicates a permanent vein. Tlie situation oHfre mine, almost ou the rail*ay- makes the transportation problem nn easy one, and iu the early stages ot development by the company, it will be a great nilvantoge lo be able to make trial shipments at very little expense. The Kootenay & Algoma. The Kootenay St Algoma Gold Mining company have an option on the Pedro mineral claim, and are having examinations made by competent and reliable eng:neers. The Pedro is only half a mile fiom the North Star railway, near Marysville, and is said to he a remarkably fine prospect. It is proposed to make use of a diamond drill, and Mr. A. ti Watts made a trip to tbe ground a few days ago to estimate tbe cost per foot. Boring with the diamond drill is ope of the latest methods of prospecting mineral claims, and although not satisfactory in all cases, there are many places where more definite information can be obtained for each dollar expended than could be gained for each ten dollars in the ordinary mining way. Mr. Watts has spent the season boring on many different propetlies in the Lardeau country, and bis experience enables him to closely estimate cost in the different rock formations of the listriet, Alter the Whole Hill. Moj ie Leader : Il is reported on good authority that J. C. Drewry antl his syndicate have purchased a 60 per cent interest in the St. Eugene mine nt this place. That is the same interest which the Gooderham-lllackstock syndicate purchased last spring from Messrs. Pinch Cronin, Campbell and others. Mr Drewry will return from Toronto about November 10. If the information received is authentic, it seems that ibe Canadian Gobi fields syndicate control the three largest .mines in the Moyie cauip. Mining Notes. Mr. 1). W. Moore, who is manager for the Welcome Mining Company, ison bis way back to thc mine on the West Fork of lhe St Marys River. The company bas fifteen mines at work, and will probably keep operations going all winter. The new Board of Trade should take in hand the matter of n substantial goven- ment appropiatiou for a continuation of the St. Marys waggon road. Surely, if proper representations were made, suit- ting forth the numerous reasons which warrant the expenditure, lhe govern* ment would grant a reasonable amount of money, and the Cranbrook Hoard of Trade should take the Initative. J. C. Hooker, lhe well known pioneer of the country round lhe headwaters of the St. Mary's River, has come back to town Vtilh some remarkably fine specimens ot copper and galena ore. Mr. Hooker climbed over tbe Divide between the St. Marys and Pilot Bay iu the winter of 189.3 on snow {shoes- and during the following summer located claims on some of the main ledges of that ^.strict and he uow is in a fair way to reap the benefits and proti's deserved by any man who bas the hardihood to travel at all seusotis, in such far away fields, with his 1V1I and blankets on his back. It is to such hardy pioneers that the development ol the mineral wealth of tbis great country is due, Mr. C. M. Edwards while hunting on Baker Mouutain recently, ran across a large dykeofsyeuite cutting through the country, Interspersed with numerous stringers of quarts, and found considerable float quarts and some pburpbyritic float which would be worth some trouble in the way of prospecting.

While there be visited tbe Montana claim owned by Charles Bie- leuberg. Work is being continued. Tbe shaft is now down 5; feet and will be continued lo 75 feet, mid then a cioss- cul will be run for fifty feet. The property is looking well. The work on lire Dupont is still being pushed and the tunnel now beiug driven is progressing rapidly. While no report has beeu given outby the management it is understood that the values published last week arc being maintained. The Duponl is no doubt an attractive proposition, and with tbe plans outlined for Its further development it is bound to become a producer in a short time.

CHEAP LABOR MEANS CHEAP PEOPLE The miue owners of West Kootenay over-reached themselves when they imported a lot of Italians from the United States to work iu the mines. British Columbia baa no need of Italians to work In her mines. The merchant, the manufacturer, ihe artisan, the lahorei, the capitalist, all have reason to oppose such a move. The future of British Columbia depends upon her masses, If all labor is lo come dowu lo the basis of Chinese and Italian wages, the days of prosperity iu British Columbia will soon be over. Good wages means good times nnd more rapid development of every resource of the country. Tbe money earned by the Italian and Chinaman is sent away. It is never in vested in homes and home Improvements. Not a dollar of It is spent iu public spirited en terprise. They are a class that absorl but never give up. Tbe bare necessities of life keeps them, and very little of their money circulates in the legitimate channels of trade. Une white man working at good wages is better for a ciimmuuity than teu Chinks or Dagoes, EDITORIAL NOTES.
