"The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune."@en . ""@en . "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0188036/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

Blandy, of the <\ P. R. engineering department. 1 ly a curious twist of fortune Mr. Blandy happened to be in Kaslo a lid Kuskonook Avhen those towns wero devastated by fire. He describes the Sandon conflagration as far surpassing both, so far as the extent of the damage and the ferocity of the flames is concerned. In referring to the fire, Mr. Blandy said : \"At 12:30 the alarm ,l>oll sounded, and the department turned out promptly. Tho blaze was located in the Spencer block ,iust across tho road from the fires' hall. A theatrical company presenting \"A Better Atonement\" had occupied the block on the previous -\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDvening, and it is supposed that a ligarette stub caused the fire, \"\\ Inch began in the basement. The biigade had a spleudid pressure for tlieir hose, and my impression Avas t uit the firemen were unusually well handled, for by the time I reached the spot, a few minutes afcer the alarm sounded, they seemed to have water playing ou the fire from every direction. The building was of wood, dry as tinder, and the fiie had gained such headway that it could not bo controlled. A light breeze blew in a westerly direction and carried the flames down hill while tho natural tendency of the ground was sufficient to draw the fire up hill. The block was solid wood, the buildings being packed as closely together as possible, so that the flames spread quickly. The main <-treet is only 30 feet wide and the fiie soon .iumped across. The fire- hall was the first building attacked \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDon the opposite side of the street and from there tho fire spread in both directions. '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe firemen finally resorted to tho desperate expedient of dynamiting burning buildings in-order t o enable them to play on the adjoining^ buildings.. _ Foui\times bags * filled with clyuamite'Avere thrown . into the fire and exploded with tremendous force. The expedient did Lot prove a success, however, for tii soon as ono building was levelled 1 he next blazed out furiously despite the floods of water.\" The fire seemed to blazo np just as fiercely oven when tho water wa-. playing ditectly on, the spot. '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe Eeco hotel A\as the last building to burn. Twenty yards bi'youd it, and intervening between the business and the upper district, ,was the O. P. Vi. depot. A heavy ( c'largoof dynamite was placed under the passenger depot, after the agent had loaded a couple of cms with his belongings and backed 1 hem down the track through the iLimes from the hotel. When the charge was touched off the depot went into the air and au effective Rap was made round wliich the fire did not succeed in passing. Tho -C. P.-B-freightshed-and three ears of freight wore wiped out. The fire stopped afc Lane's stable ju-it at 3:30 o'clock. Tho whole pei foi'iuauce lasted but two hours, but it was a costly affair. \"Meantime tho flames had spread up the hill to a terrace on which .si >od a fine row of residences. These wero absolutely wiped out and the fire ran up tho .slope for half a mile. -The destruction of the business district was mos't complete. The only stores remaining are tho Byers and Gigerieh establishments, loci ted above the 0. P. It. depot. One hotel only is standing and it h id to food everybody iu town y-slorday morning. The Bank of Jji-itish Columbia's branch shared the general fate and^ the skating rink also .succumbed. A quantity of goods were stored in the big .stone cellar undor Atherton's store and these ,escaped destruction though considerably damaged by water^ Every other * store and business establishment is a heap of ruins. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"It will doubt!3ss be a matter of several days before the loss can bo climated with any degree of accuracy. I should f,ay, however, i lufc a conservative estimate of the -damage would place the loss at not Ic.-s> than half a million. When the fiie broke out ifc was thought the leave this morning for Sandon to look after the company's interests there. Alderman Blake Wilson and Ii. C. Riblet of Nelson were in Sandon yesterday morning when the fire broke out, Thoy were staying at the Reco house, and wero roused by tho alarm. When the blaze broke through the roof of the Spencer block Mr. Itiblet suggested that it would be politic to got out. Accordingly they packed their grips up the gulch and came back to natch the progress of the fire. Chief Sewell of the fire brigade and mayor Pitts headed the fire fighters. After the hose was de- stioyed bucket brigades -were formed to complete the conquest of tho flames. It is conceded on all sides that the upper portion of the town would undoubtedly have gone up in flames had it not been for the dynamiting of the C. P. Si. depot. Tho charge of powder used was sufficient to remove every vestige of the building, and the blaze was thus checked for want of material. At 7 o'clock in the morning mayor Pitts called a meeting of citizens and committees were formed to organize relief, extinguish the^ glowing embers and obtain protection for homeless citizens. The members of tho committees were piovided with tin badges and immediately set to work. The Denver House, which was the only remaining hotel, wasvseeured, a quantity of provisions put in stock and a staff of cooks aud waiters put in charge. Half the town had-break- fast there. Messages were sent to Nelson and Kaslo asking for tejnts in which to house citizens. A-uumber of tents were shipiiod from here yesterday by H. Byers & Co. and Theo. Madson. In the-evening prior to the general conflagration P. Burns & Co's. slaughterhouse was burned to the ground, and in the big \"blaze the firm lost two buildings. The company's total loss is placed at $6000, with no insurance. So'far as can bo learned the insurance carried try owners of buildings was comparatively small. In a number of instances \"large\" blocks which were completely destroyed were not protected by a ^cent of insurance. Jlis a source of deep gratification that no lives Avere^lost in the fire. Up to the present time no fatalities have been reported.

P. R. Sandon lire Relief Fund. The terrible fire at Sandon has excited widespread sympathy in Nelson, and steps are being taken to raise money for the relief of the sufferers. As a move in this direction the Nelson, Amateur Operatic Society has decided to give another performance of, Pinafore on Monday evening in aid of those who lost by the fire. So,thatas large an a mount as possible may be netted, the management of the operarhouse-will-give \"the- use of their theatre, the performers, of course, will charge nothing for their services,, the orchestra will play for a nominal consideration, and all printing, advertising, etc., will be done gratis by tho local printing offices. Apart from the objects of the entertainment, all those who saw Pinafore played before were agreed that it was well worth seeing again, while those who missed it now have an opportunity of retrieving their hard luck and seeing tho best amateur performance over given in the Kootenays. It is a first-class show and for the worthiest of all possible objeets,and should result in the addition of a most substantial sum to the relief fund. The good heartedness of the Nelson people is never appealed to in vain. There is talk also of starting a regular relief fund and Grange V. Holt, manager of the Bank of British Columbia, informs The Tribune that he will be pleased to receive contributions from citizens toward the relief of residents of Sandon who arc homeless and comparatively destitute through the fire, which destroyed most of the town yesterday morning. Tho Bank of Montreal of Nelsou was the fit sfc to head a subscription list to aid the people of Sandon. Manager Buchanan started the list with $50. Tho C. P. It. has volunteered to forward al' contributions to the relief fund freo of charge provided that such consignments are addressed to mayor Pitts or tho chairman of the relief eominitteo at Sandon. Occupation of Brandfort. London, May 4.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDLord Roberts reports to tho war oflice as follows : \"Biiandkokt, May 3.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOccupied Brandfort without much opposition and without, I hope, many .casualties. The first brigade of mounted infantry covered the left flank of the fourteenth brigade of the seventh division, aud tho right flank was supported by the fifteenth brigade. Pole-Carow's division advanced advanced directly on Brandfort. '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe Boer army, which was under command of Delarey, retired in a northeasterlyjdirection.\" News of the occupation of Brandfort was published in the war office at-10 o'clock this forenoon, confirming a dispatch previously received by the Associated Press. It is generally considered the most important communication received from the front since the capture of general Cronje and the relief of Ladysmith. The key to one of the main roads leading to the Drakens- berg passes, which possibly may be tho moans of co-operating with general Buller later ou, provides an advance base of supply, and at the same time menaces the Boers now surrounding Bloemfontein. It is obviously the reason for the importance attached by all hands of the intelligence. The Boer army at Brandfort was commanded by general Delarey. It is presumably retiring on Winburg. Brandfort, 35 miles nearer the Transvaal camp, is now lord Roberts' headquarters. What particularly gratifies the British public is the evidence that the army of lord Roberts in the Orange Free State -has recovered its mobility and is again capable of undertaking the general advance, so long retarded. It is hardly expected the Boers will make much of a stand south of Kroonstadt, and possibly not there if lord Roberts succeeds in capturing Winbuig, thus interposing between ,the main federal army and the Boer forces in the neighborhood of Thaba Nehu and Hout Nek. Iu this ease the latter would be forced to move far to the eastward and their mobility would probably enable them to reach the Bethlehem and Ilarrismith line in safety. The only opposition which the British encountered at Brandfort seems to have come from the Irish-American command.,. ' _. The central British army is now in line with the extreme left at Boshof under lord Methuen, and the extreme light at Elandslaagte, under general Buller, so that the moving of these wings in co-operation with the main army, may Shortly be expected.

WHY THEY WERE PUBLISHED BULLER AND LORD ROBERTS Correspondence Produced. London, May 4.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-The telegraphic cor Associated Pres^thaUUnited States Embassador Choate has asked lord Salisbury for explanations as to alleged abuse of international rights in the case of the American ship Sea Witch, which, according to the statement of her commander, captain Howe, was boarded by the British warship Wasp within the three-mile limit of the Portuguese territory in East Africa. Tho American ship Sea Witch left Wallaroo December (ith and ai- rived at Delagoa Bay February 12th. She sailed March 4th for Port Natal (Durban) and arrived there March Oth. The American ambassador's communication to the premier hardly amounts to a protest, and serious complications\" are not likely to ensue. The case, as transmitted by, secretary Hay to London, consists, of tho captain's allegation that while the Sea Witch was off Delagoa bay he signalled to the Wasp, which was patrolling, and the Wasp sent a boat to her. The captain of the Sea Witch complains that the visit resembled a warlike boarding party, and that his manifest was examined against his will when palpably within neutral waters.

Lord ('*insdowne, secretary of state for a r, wired March 28th, asking the ad'_ ice ,pf lord Roberts about publishing' the dispatch, saying: . \"We can no^publishallthe documents enclosed, with your dispatch of February lgth,\" and suggesting certain dispatches which in lord \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDLansdowne's opinion might be published. , Lord Lansdowue added: '\"But I would not feel justified in thus editing the papers unless -you concur, and you may perhaps think ifc well to refer to Buller. I suggest, as an alternative, that we should treat your dispatch of February 13th and all its enclosures as confidential, and that Buller should send through you a full narrative of the operations. This you could forward to me with any observations you desire to make for publication.'' Lord Roberts replied to loid Lansdowne in .a dispatch dated Bloemfontein, \"March 31, that he had suggested to sir Redvers Buller to prepare a full narrative, but sir Redvers had answered as follows: \"I do not at all like the idea of rewriting a dispatch for publication. I must prefer' to leave it in the hands of the commander-in- chief. Let him select for publication whatever he thinks proper.\" To this lord Roberts appended that he would nofc himself object to publication of a'paper edited, as lord Lansdowue had suggested, by lord Lansdowne. -He asked lord Lansdowne to wire a reply. This reply fiom lord Lansdowne, dated April 2,^ saic1^ '\"In ;view of Buller,s\"'objeetioD~, *I abandon the. proposal that the dispatch should be re-written and I propose to publish the selection described in ray dispatch of March 28.\" Lord Roberts answered under date of April 0th: \"I agree to my dispatch of February , 13 th being published.*\" The correspondence also contains two dispatches referred to in lord Lansdowne's- dispatch of March 28th. The first is from lord Lansdowue to general Buller, dated January 3rd, representing the impossibility of publishing his dispatches which \"contain views of the situation and forecasts of his intentions,\" aud empliasizing the advisability of sending dispatches descriptive of the operations for presentation to parliament. The second is from lord - Wolseley to lord Roberts, dated February Oth, saying: _ '\"You will, rfeel sure, agree with me that Methuen's dispatch regarding Magersfontein could nofc be published as sent. There are passages in ifc inappropriate to such documents, and it also gives information of importance to the enemy. If he likes 1 will revise the dispatch, but I prefer not to undertake this responsibility. I suggest that you should ask him to cancel this* dispatch and to write another.\" The correspondence does not indicate whether loid Methuen rewrote the dispatch as suggested. The Spion Kop dispatches published were the selections suggested in lord Lansdowne's dispatch of March 28th. Spion Kop Dispatches. London, May 4.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIn the house of commons today a variety of war questions were asked. The parliamentary secretary of the war office, George Wyndham, said no further report had been received from lord Roberts with reference to the Koornspruit disaster. The goA'ernment leader in the house, A. J. Balfour, replying to questions regarding the report of the ill-treatment of British prisoners at Pretoria, said her majesty's government was considering the advisability of further representations on the subject through Washington aud through the United States consul at Pretoria, Mr. Hay, who has charge of British interests in the Transvaal. Continuing, Mr. Wyndham said he was i^repared to discuss the question of the judgment and discretion, but not of the honor or rectitude of the Marquis of Lansdowue. Many misconceptions in regard to the despatches had already, evaporated, including the belief that lord Roberts and general Buller had criticized general Methuen's operations, aud the criticisms that they had been suppressed, as supposed, by favoritism had beeu eliminated. The only point at issue was why the criticism of geueral Buller had been published if tho goA'ernment intended to leave him incommaud. Mr. Wyndham contended it was impossible to isolate the Spion Kopdiselosuics and treat them as no other dispatches had been treated in tho history of the last hundred years. The Avar office, he asserted, had acted entirely iu accordance Avith the queen's regulations. Tt Avas said the publication would shake the confidence -of the troops in Natal in their com- mauderv but Mr. Wyndham said that Avas nofc the view of the government, nor the - view of general Bulleiv.who wis.in the best, position to decide. Afc this point John Dillon, Irish Nationalist member for Kast Mayo, interrupted saying he had never asserted that he wanted the dispatches published. *\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .Mr. Wyndham continued: .\"But the gallant general has been applauded for saying he > would stick to Avhat he had written, and would havo made a great sIioav of candor if he thought no one Avould know what he had written.\" This remark Avas greeted with cries of \"Oh, Oh.\" Mr. Wyndham then said ho thought general Buller had merely been unlucky, and that general' Warren's services should nofc be overlooked, adding that Avhile in publishing the dispatches, I ,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD_-__. band of Mine.

An extra-ordinary geueral meeting of the shareholders of the Hall Miues, Limited, was held at Winchester House, E. C, on Thursday, for-the purpose of considering, and, if thought fib, passing resolutions for the reconstruction of the company. Mr. Robert Ward presided. The secretary (Mr. A. E. Ashley) lead the notice convening the meeting. The chairman said : Gentlemen,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD You will remember that on the 10th of last month an extraordinary general meeting of the company was held, when a new board of directors was appointed, and charged with the specific function of drawing up a scheme of reconstruction to present to you for your consideration. The labors of the board since that date have been -.continuous, and today's meeting has been called at the earliest possible moment, so that no time whatever has been lost in endeavoring to give effect to your, wishes.' The scheme\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the--particulars of which you will Ho doubt have read in the circular accompanying the notice convening this meeting\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDis briefly as follows : That the capital of the reconstructed company\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe new company\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD shall be \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD325,000, of which 250,000 - oidiuary shares are to be given in exchange for 250,000 ordinary shares held by shareholders in the^ existing company, credited with 15s' paid ti]) thereon; 25,000'ordinary -\"'hares\" to be allotted as fully paid tn the holders of 25,000 preference -hares in the present company, aud .\")'J,000 ordinary shares to be placed t o reserve to satisfy the debenture holders' right of conversion. At the last meeting it was hinted in the course Of the discussion that the board would probably have'two st lings to-its bow. Now, in connection with the - reconstruction scheme, the directors wero most anxious, in the interests of every individual shareholder, both large and small, to^give the closest attention to any .proposal that \"might come before them, -but I hardly ' think it would bo desirable for me l.) speak of the details of a counter proposal .which was made to your board, and subsequently withdrawn. However, X may tell you {.hat the proposition which we place .before you today with a view to rc- fonsti'iiction has this distinct advantage\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDevery shareholder iu the Is''now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. man's speech to which ho wished to refer\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnamely, that dealing with the counter proposal to the directors' scheme. Although that proposition was deemed not worthy of acceptance by the board, it proved, to his mind, that the company possessed a valuable property when mining men from the other side were willing to put up from \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD75,- 000 to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSO,000 to work the undertaking, notwithstanding the fact that thoy wanted to be paid interest for their money, and to have it back again before the shareholders participated in any profits. Such evidence, he considered, justified the shareholders in contributing 5s per share to work the property. Mr. P. Schweder said that as the value of the scheme largely depended upon the Avay in which it was carried out, he wished to, know if the chairman could give him any information as to the constitution of the new board. The chairman replied that he did not thiuk he could entirely satisfy the last speaker. Of course, they were quite aware that the future direction of the company depended- very largely upon the gentlemen who constituted the board of directors, and the shareholders might rest assured that very great care would be taken in their selection. Mr. Robert Harye5r,J who had been long connected with the Hall Mines, .had-consented to join the board,; aud also Mr. Boulnois, a gentleman of great experience. He (the chairman) had been invited to join the directorate, but up to the present time he had given no definite reply. He was hot particularly keen in complying with that invitation, but he was assured by his colleagues that he would be of great assistance to them On'account of his long connection with British/' Columbia and* his previous connection with the company, and he would give his reply in .the course of the next few, days. The board of the new company would be limited to live members, so that they would always have a good working majority in the city.\" The resolutions were carried unanimously.

They will give a strong system of roads over the whole island oxcept that none run into Havana. The owners of the United railroad of Havana, and the Regia Stores have asked $15,000,000 for the two lines. Tho company plans to get into Havana by building from Matanzas. Full permission to make this improvement aud any other improve-, ments necessary has been secured from senator Root. In fact, it is said that the proposals of sir Willian Van Home met with such ready encouragement from the secretary of war that he found his new company would \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD have greater liabilities than lie had counted on. As soon as the present lines are workiug the company will make extensions into all the provinces where agricultural or mineral developments- are promised. The Herrera line, of vessels, which has also been secured, has a monopoly of the northern coast trade; Backers of the new syndicate are also interested, it is said, in the purchase of the street railroads of Havana. VAN HORNE'S SCHEME. existing company will have the opportunity at an expenditure of 5s _ pt-r sharcof rctainiug_aii iutere&t in ti large property which we all hope and believe is capable of producing \ cry good results. The other proposition had this distinction\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDit proposed to absolutely acquire the in- 1 crests of all the shareholders of this company, or in other words to lake the juice of the orange and give the peel to the shareholders. We did not consider that scheme Mould be acceptable to the shareholders, and I may say that ic was Mibsoqueutly withdrawn by the proposers on account of tho illness ( f one of the gentlemen connected with it. Should the resolutions bo passed loday for reconstruction, the company will be in a position to acquire sufficient funds to pay off its liabilities, and we estimate that it will have have, in addition, a working < tipital of from \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD40.000 to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD45,000 sterling to proceed with the work of developing this great property which has been so often urged by experts employed by this company stud by meu entitled to speak upon the matter, for whose opinions not o'lly tho late board, but; some of the largest shareholders have the highest regard. After the resolutions Ji ive been proposed and seconded S s'mll ask the solicitor to explain the a ?reement wliich Jias been drawn i p between the Hall Mines, Limited, and its liquidator, and \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the new company\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhich we propose to name the Hall Mining aud Smelting Company, Limited\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDindicating thab the company has iu view very important operations in connection with smelting in addition to-mining. Mr. George Freeman, in seconding the resolutions, said that there was only one point in the chair- Sir William Van Home's great; Cuban railway project has now been fairly launched; and the official information which is now forthcoming shows that the earlier reports in no way exaggerated its magnitude and importance. The chairman of the Canadian Pacific railway is at the head of the new company, which has'been incorporated at Trenton. New Jersey. The scope of its operations will embrace practically the whole of the transportation work of the island. r-Yom tho nucleus furnished by the present line a complete network of railways will be formed, which will connect all towns of importance in Cuba, aud affiliated with the rail- _way _ will-be _ a line _of -steamships which will run between Cuba and the principal ports of the United States. Tho company is capitalized at a nominal capital of $8,000,000, but the actual amount which will shortly be forthcoming for this gigantic undertaking will be many times that amount. The organizing and controlling spirit of the enterprise is sir William Van Home, and associated with him are several officers of the Metropolitan street railway of Now York,and several American millionaire financiers. Since his return from Cuba, less than three months ago, sir William has been a familiar figure in New York and Washington. lie has been in.consultation with senator Root of the United States government, with regard to the concessions, and it is said that ample protection has been assured to the capitalists by the federal authorities. This is a complete list of the incorporators, of the new company: sir William Van Home, Levi P. Morton, John W. Maekay, James J. Hill, general Samuel Thomas, W. C. Whitney, Thomas F. Ryan, E. J.

The St. Lawrence claim in Dead- wood camp, adjoining the Mother Lode, operated by the Deadwood Gold-Copper Mining Compauy, has closed down, but will resume just as soon as the necessary boiler, hoist, pump, etc., have been procured and installed. The work on this property has been done principally upon a shaft whicli- has been sunk on the ledge and. which is now about 73 feet iii depth. The last eight feet of the 'sinking has improved foot by foot; iron and calcite well mixed with copper\" pyrites have been come upon in considerable quantities. The ledge is on the\" surface, it is thought, although no crosscut has yet been made, to be 100 feet in width, and this* is supposed to be kept up as depth has gained; in fact, it is gathered from certain indications that it litis actually increased. Assays have been taken which vary greatly, 'Nothing less than $3 have been obtained, but some have run-*as high as $13(5, the latter, of course, being a picked sample. Afairestimateoftheavevage value of the ore at the depth gained would be in the neighborhood of $8, which is ample, as is shown by the late report issued by Jay P. Graves, to afford shipping values on a dividend-paying basis, J. Peterson, the superintendent, is now on his way to Spokane, and is endeavoring to pick up*some second hand, machinery with which to start the early ojocrations which it is confidently thought will amply justify the purchase of newer and more powerful machinery in, tho near future. SHORT WAR STORIES. disillusionment. \"I know,\" says Allen, \"Rhodes and his crowd are at the bottom of this war, and were it not for the fear that Britain would lose its prestige, I would never take up arms to support Rhodes and his crew.\" Private Sach, of the Lancaster.*?, writing to his friends at Macclesfield, describes the final struggles of Buller's relieving force before Ladysmith was reached. He says: \"We only had seven oflicers, and three wero wounded early in the engagement. With no officers left to give commands the troops went forward with a rush. The supports did not like being left behind, so tiiey jumped up aud joined the firing line, and a great number of reserves followed suit. We got right amongst the Boers with our bayonets aud fairly surprised them, paying back many an old debt. My chum noticed a couple of Boer wagons upset in a donga lying to our left front, between the hill we had captured and that on which the 2nd Queen's were advancing.' We made our way across to them in search of spoil, but suddenly came in view of a Boer trench about 50 yards in front, flying the white flag and firing at the same time. We lay down and commenced to knock them over, when about 50 of their men ranout, threw down their rifles, and up with tlieir hands. We ceased firing, and I partially raised my body to see them come in when one fellow jumped up and shot me through the right shoulder. I shouted to my chum, ' Look out ; I'm wounded.' He, however, was coming across to, my assistance, when several Boers got up and shot him dead, then threw down their arms and ran towards the remainder of the prisoners. I tried to shoot the dogs on the.run, but could not get my rifle to my^shoulder.\" SECT THAT HONORS JUDAS. paralysed, and a whole battery retiring before about 50 sharpshooters.

Cronje seemed to be sure of success then, and did not give up till the seventh day, when he and his wife attempted to flee, but found that the Canadians had cut off the only means of escape.\" One of the II. Company, Imperial Light Infantry, named Allen, writes to a Neath (Glam.) gentleman an account of his experiences in South Africa. The Lancashire - advance man at Spion Ivop was, he .says, challenged by the Boer sentry, who shouted out in Dutch, \"Stop- who goes there?\" The advance shouted \"Friends,\" and got closer. The sentry saw the trick, and warned his comrades that \"the English were on them.\" \"It was hi.s last shout, one of our chaps ran up and put the bayonet right through his heart.\" At daybreak the mist lifted, and then eamo the British In his latest report to the czar, the procurator of the holy synod, tells of a new sect discovered in the government of Yakeutsk, eastern Siberia, and originated by a peasant, Filip Likhacheff, who was exiled to that remote .region from the Uumskaya government for belonging to the sect of the \"Skopt/.i.\" The Auglo-IUissian says that the doctrines of the new sect are explained in the, MS. headed, \"My Profession,\" and its chief points are: * (1) The first real disciple of Christ was Judas, for ho repented - of his sin and hanged himself. The same method of death is recommended to the members of the sect who wish to part from this sinful life. (2) Reverence is duo only to God, that shown to any man is idolatry, ' (3) Man being sinful in his very nature and inclined to induce others to sin, he must not have any-authority OA'er his fellow man.. (4) Hence no obedience must be shown to any secular or ecclesiastical autboiity. (5) The powers that be are* from the devil, officials of the state, as well as p'riests of the church, ((i) Property is a sin as the result of greed, likewise family ties as the result of the Inst of the flesh. Likhacheff, On being arrested, openly acknowledged himself to be tho author of \"My Profession.\" The heresy was spreading among workingmen, especially among \"Skopt- ssts\" exiled to Siberia from European Russia.
