All of the 1 sums Rent now in the hands of the pos- ' tal authorities will be refunded, 1I1 ii Tenth Year 10 London, Nov. 36.��� The position In Natal remains fell of perplexities whioh the censorship has increased. Al though a division and a half have now reached Durban, that place is practically powerless until supplied with eavalrv and artillery nnd until those arrive tha situation will undoubtedly remain grave. With throe beleaguered garrisons In Natal besides Kimberley and Mafeking and no signs of successes in the immediate future it is no wonder the outlook is regarded as distinctly gloomy tonight, and that the most, possible is made of General Methuen's success, i'rem no other points can even a semblance of success be reported. Mafeking is apparently in a worse plight than tho British have hitherto cared to admit, nnd it is difficult to show it i rn be relieved for some time to o.mie. While the official dispatoh from the Boer head laager outside Ldysmitb, dated November 24, showed tbo town wns still flying the. Union Jack on Friday, the hopeful tone of the message and the evident anticipation of the speedy reduction of Ladysmith is net calculated to cheer anxious relatives. The reported silence of the British guns has also again aroused fears of a shortness of ammunition and the faot that the Boers have jest, placed in position another siege gun shows that they havo not yet done thoir worst. Tho arrival of the Gorman officers, some of whom it is understood, gained large experience in redncing fortified places in 1870-71. is calculated to load to a change of tactics which will add to the suspense of the sorely tried garrison. Tho situation in tho northern por- tion of Cape Colony is about as unset- i. ..ctory as it can bo. Boers nre turning up in all directions. A Capetown dispatoh received at a late hour tonight reports that the euemy have blown up a railway bridge betwoon Rosemead Junction nnd Middleburg with the object of preventing an advance from Port; Elizabeth. This was effected by a small commando which, it is stated, remains in the neighborhood. Tho oifeot of blowing up this bridge will tend to isolate Naauwpoort which was recently reoccupied by the Whilo Pleased Witb Kaiser's Reception Germans Side With the Boers. Barlin, Nov. 25.���The visit of Emperor William, to England, although more or less discounted before hand, has occupied publ'c opinion this week- above all else. Even-llio most rabid anglophobes found little fault with the reports of His Majesty's reception, somo papers commenting iu a friendly way on tho evidences of good will and sympathy shown tho Emperor, even hy the lower classes of the English, that nuguio I well therefore for a firmer and clearer understanding between the two countries. It is significant that one of Germany's noted professors publishes a strong argument in favor of n German-Hritish-Americnn alliance, while Herr Barth does the samo. Tho press comments on the South African war, generally are-imbued with ill-will for Great Britain.

Nov. 25.���There was a tin sign today on the front door of the syndicate headquarters nt 144 Floyd Street, Brooklyn, which read: "Closed on Saturday." Various reports were current regarding the whereabouts of W. F. Miller, the ostensible head of the syndicate. Yesterday Miller disappeared nt noon, having learned that the King's County grand jury had indicted him for conspiracy with intent to defraud, and that a bench warrant had been issued for his arrest. It was said that Miller came to the bovouyb of Manhattan and escaped under the eyes of detectives. Some think he is in Manhattan, others think tbat be has by this time left Greater New York far behind, either by European steamer or by raihoad train. His brother Louis Miller, cashier of the Miller syndicate, wdio was arrested last night when the police raided the oflice of the concern was taken to court today aud hold in (1,000 bail to answer the charge of having aided bis brother iu defrauding creditors, $8,600 having been found by the police, which ihey allege the prisoner concealed in tho house adjoiuiug tbe Franklin Syndicate offices. All dny a crowd of excited depositors held tbe fort at 144 Floyd Street*, which was well guarded by police, somo of whom hud themselves been enriched by tlm interest of 10 per cent, a week on earnings they had placed in Miller's bands for investment. Floyd Street was a scene of great oxrite- ment Tho crowd was made up largely of women, somo of them had remained throughout tho entire night, hoping that "the young Napoleon of linnuce" would return with his extraordinary dividends and pay them their intorest or thoir principal. At midnight, Friday, overcome by excitement and her losses, Mi.-. A. M. Cheney, who is said to have lost the savings of n life timo, dropped dead. Several women fainted aud today the police had much difficulty in keeping baok the surging mobs. Early today he police sent out a general alarm for the apprehension of William F. Miller ns follows: "Arrest tor grand lurcony William F. Miller, 311 years of age, five feet, five iuobes, 140 pounds, dark mens tuche, small side whiskers, broken nose, mixed gray suit und Overcoat, light nlpine." The police alio sent out n general alarm tor the apprehension of Cecil Leslie, Miller's private secretary, who BOted as his press agent, and who is, in a measure responsible for tho recent publication of tho story of Miller's greatness and his imaginary process in Wall Street. All the banks in the city wore notified by police today to bold any money in their possession, deposited to the account of William F. Miller, or the Franklin syndicate, pending lhe development of thu Indiotmenl of Miller anil Leslie. The police nlso sent out detectives to keep un eye on certain banks and trust companies where Miller is supposed to huve money on deposit. Notwithstanding the fact that Miller withdrew from Wells, Fargo ic Co. 's bank more than $100,000 about Thursday, the police ] plnced detectives iu this bank believing that he still had deposits there.

Picric acid is a bright yellow substance freely used in peaceful industries for dyeing purposes, it is obtained by the action of nitric acid or phenyl or carbolic aoid. li bums very violently, nnd owing to the tremendous blast produced by the explosion, the destructive effect of e bursting shell tilled with it is some eleven tunes greater than that of a shell lilled with powder.

Tbe piorio powder exploder is inserted in a recess left in the lyddite for that purpose. Lyddite shell is to some extent less barbarous than Bhrap- nel exploded by powder, for, though widespread, its death-dealing effects aro duo more to air-concussion thnn tu the wounding effects of the flying fragments. In other words, in the case of a lyddite shell bursting in a group of men, the greater number will be killed, uot by pieces of the shell, but by the blow of the suddenly compressed air. .

Colenso is the most northern hamlet in Weeneu Country, fiom which it jh separated by the Tugela Kiver. Weeneu is triangular in shape and slopes N. E. to the Tugela. It is a purely farming country, the rearing ol' cattle, sheep, nnd burses being tbo chief oo cupatiun. Wheat and Indian corn grow well 111 those parts of the country whioh are irrigated. Estcomt, Weenen, Colenso, and Weston are chief vil'ages. Colenso in 102-k n Hps from Maritz- burg, aud during its occupation by the Durban Light Infantry and the Durban Naval brigade two foils hnve been erected commanding the railway and road bridges respectively. From Colenso the railway stretches south with a slight up gradient through Chi?\ly aud Ennersdale, which is a side station servintr tho country iu the district of Estcourt. From Ennersdale, 8,918 feet above sea level, there is n very slight descent lo Estcourt. 27"4 miles from Oolenso, With an elevation of 8,888 feet. Estcourt is the market town and ceiitei of Weenen County, nnd is charmingly situated at the junction of the Great nnd Little Bushman's Rivers. It is l-l.V, miles from Durban, and is well planed for purposes of defence. Most of the buildings are of hewn stone, aud well built. It hns three holds, four churches, and tlie population is estimated at 400. To the south of the town, on a sleep hill, across the river, is a strongly built fort, occupied by the Natal police. The Natal Royal Rifles, numbering nver 800 wero dispatched here from Maritzhurg in the middle of October, and formed a camp near the railway station, .inst olf tbe main Btreet Extensive earthworks have beeii thrown np on both sides of the railway line, aud the position is a good one to hold faoing nnrth to "The Berg." There is a good supply of Maxims, nnd altogether the site is well chosen us regards defence and oomrni nicatiou wilh the hase. A few miles northeast of Estcourt lies Weenen ("The Village of Weeping"), historically interesting as the soene nf the massacre by the Zulu King Dingaan of 600 Dutch Immigrants in 1887. From Kstconrt the line winds south. The gradient is upward through open grasslands, with occasional belts of stunted mimosa trees, till it reaches Higlands Station, 4,058 feet above the mn, one of the highest points on the line. Five miles further south is the Mooi (good) River,the finest stock and agricultural center in the Colony. Uu the hanks of the Mooi Kiver is Weston, tlie most southerly settlement in Weenen County.

BOARD AND ROOMS AT RKASONABLE PRICES, WILLING TO OBLIGE. The Galena (Kas ) Republican relates that many years ago a number of Peoria Indians organised a show company ami made a tour of the Kast. Thoy were mostly half-breeds and all were thoroughly educated in Kng- lisli, but it was stipulated by the man- ngement Hint they must talk only in their untive tongue, and when they got on their war togs they looked Ravage enough, indeed. Among the company wus Will Labadie, well known in 'Jalena. In almost every town some of the audience would remain behind to get a better vie,v nf the awful savages. One night Labadie had taken his seat in the orchestra box after the show, and four 01 live young women who wen standing near commenced tu comment on his personal appearanoe, "How would you like to kiss him?" said one of the maidens, with a titter. "Oh, girls! let's all do it just to see how it wonld go lo kiss a real In - diau!" exeiaimed one more daring than the reHt. whereupon Labadie turned calmly to tlieni and said : "Ladies, nothing could allord me more pleasure than to give you a practical illustration of the osoulatory accomplishments of the red man. " There was a chorus oi little screams, a swish of skltts and the theater was empty. PRONOUNCED IN SKOTIONS.

Among recent visitors to Britisli Columbia, to spy out the mineral resources of the Province, iu order thai i'lformation of them might be conveyed to tbe English reading publio, wai- Mr. J. W. Broomlioud, of the London financial Times. Iu bis contributions he necessarily referred to the ISight-Hoiir law; it would huvn been impossible to give anything like a faithful representation of the mining situation without doing so. With unfaltering fidelity-to its favorite policy, a local paper seized on some remarks, wiih the object of misrepresenting Mr. Broomhead's views in regard to the law and to tho various circumstances arising out of its operation. What his views are we shall best gather from winds written by himself. The following extract is from a letter which he sent to his paper from Kamloops: "Since the new Eight-Hour mining lnw enme into force in May last the miners in this district have been on strike. Formerly the wage for a ten- hoiir day was 14s., but the miners here claim the same wage for eight hours. For this reason the mines in tbe Slocan are at present shut down, and as most of the miners are personally interested iu claims, tbey see that th'S law, by raising development costs, will reduce prices for these, and many to whom I spoke were opposed to it. The mining camps are iu tho mountains, far removed in many cases from any other dwellings, and they say that tbey would rather receive the 2s. psr day extra for the extra two hours' work than loaf about with nothing to do for so many bcurs dailv. The passing of this law was morn the woik of the agitator than the miner, for even amongst the miners there i3 considerable diversity of opinion about it, and the result has been to considerably reduce the value of the prospectors' work. If tbe Government persist in this course, it will result in loweriug instead of raising wages, as such a course has done in Queensland." Mr. Broonihead was quite right in saying that many of the miners were opposed to the law, but. it is probably true now that an immense majority of them support the Unions in standing out for the new scale. Since the date of his letter they have permitted themselves to be coerced into the position of defenders and upholders ot tho law. They know, however, that under tbe circumstances of it it, is a piece of tin- wiso and unfair legislation. Thev may not yet begin to realise the final effects of it, but whatever conditions it may create at, the beienning there can be little doubt that tbe Queensland experience will be repeated here and wages will go down instead of up. Those who wage an unrighteous war are bound to lose in the end. To take advantage of a law fraudulently passed to exact unjust demands may meet with success for a time, but in the long run disappointment and defeat will surely overtake it. We do not think that readers of The Miner are in danger of wasting their sympathy on the Boers, but they will be none the less interested in an estimate of their character made by a person who knows them well. In a letter to Tho London Times Mr. George Lacy says: "I first went to South Allien in J8(>2, aud 1 know it as not half a dozen others have known it prior to the railroad era. 1 know the Boers, root and branch; stock, lock, and batrel. 1 have hunted with them in almost every hunting ground ii: South Africa; I have fought for them ; I have traded with them throughout the Transvaal and Free State ; I have dug for diamonds and gold with Ihem ; I have been with them on their land commissions and surveys; I have lived in their houses, and been a guest in many hundreds of their farms. I have written the biographies of all their explorers and the history of many of their greatest deeds. And with all this knowledge of them my estimation is that tbey are the craftiest, most hvpocritical, most dishonest, most untruthful, cruellest, most ignorant, most over-bearing, most immoral, nnd stupidest race of white people in the world." Mr. Lacy does not confine himself to this bald statement,but proceeds to give evidence in support of every count in his indictment. And he does it roost conclusively. Tho Boers are a bad lot. Mr. Maxwell is one of tho six men who represent British Columbia in the Dominion Parliament. He was taken ill a month or two ago and had a rather bad time of it for a spell, bnt happily recovered. Tho Province newspaper of Vanconver mado his misfortune the occasion for parading a subscription list for the payment of his debts. The good feeling of The Prov ince and of the contributors is manifest by thoir action ; Mr. Maxwell is a person whom many esteem and who doubtless deserves the regard of his friends, but we cannot understand a member of Parliament putting himself mi the charity of the publio in order to have his personal debts liquidated. We should be sorry to say anything to the gentleman's disparagement, but the reputation of the Province is in- The Real " Dr. Jekyll And flR. Hyde." Or Before and After Taking the Tribune's Elixir. * 8 5>S 1 ft 99 A Jfc) / \ ii -fa) / v\ 'Jffl HISTORY One year ago, and in previous years,The Tribune published glowing articles that told of the great things the press and people would do for Capital if it would but come to Kootenay and develop our mineral wealth, thus giving employment to our unemployed. Labor was literally upon ils knees, begging capital to come. Capital came. Note the result. Are they doing the great things they promised capital? In the words ol John Houston, Kootenays "Yellow Kid of Journalism," "We aintdoin' a ting to him ! ! ! " volvcd and it is but right that attention should be called to the extraordinary character of the whole affair. We do not think Mr. Maxwell and bis friends, in making public appeals for subscriptions, have shown a proper regard for the seemliness of things. If he had first resigned his seat in the House it would then havo been a matter exclusively their own. The -dispatches convey the intelligence tbat Mr. Luxton, nf Winnipeg, has been made editor-in-chief of The St. Paul Globe. Mr. Luxton was the founder of Tbe Winnipeg Freo Press, which grew under his management from a small beginning in 1871 into oue of the most prosperous and influential newspapers of the Dominion. How bis connection came to be severed is a long story, but in every circumstance of it bis sturdy independence and unswerving rectitude of character were conspicuously in evidence. The ability which built up and maintained The Free Pres-i as a newspaper of the highest standard will make The Globe a power in St. Paul. Last session of Parliament an Address of tho House was passed for copies of the correspondence relating to the offer of the Government of British Columbia respecting tin Paoific cable ���the famous offer of a million iu aid 0* its construction. Tho Return, has just been printed, The Miner's mail of last night containing a copy of it. It was published in full at thn time in most of the leaning newspapers, a fact which affords a rather significant commentary on tbe dispatoh of Parliamentary business. ���M 1$- ���4k Im '�� rn- 4& ���4k im ���Mr im- ���4k im- ���m im- ���4k im- ���4k im- 4k im D.

INTERESTING HND AT THE GAS WORKS BUILDIKG. A Discovery Post Unearthed, and a Dam and bluice-Box Due Out-Relics of Some Old Prospector. An interesting discovery was made at the gas works buildings yesterday. In digging for the foundation of the big gasometer to bo placed in position within a few weeks, the workmen came across au old discovery post.some six feet under ground. Tho ppst was fairly well petrified aud about four feet, six inches in length, the upper portion being squared for some is inches, the pn-scrilieil 4x4 inches. No name or dato can be traced, tho length of time the stick has been under ground obliterating all lettering, A little further excavation revealed what was evidently a dam, the apron, which was traced for about eight feet, being composed of cedar shakes, which were btiII intact Thoro can be li11lo doubt, that out of this old claim considerable gold was taken, ns what remained of the works would indicate that they wero well put up and more permanent in obaracter than was usually tho raise in the early days of placer mining in British Columbia. There is considerable speculation among old timers as to who worked the-ground, Noue of them can remember a claim staked at this particular point,but it is known that early in the seventies, Black .Tack (after whom a pioductive creek in old 'Jari'OO is named) and Dancing Bill, his partner, worked (heir way up the Kootonay as fnr as what is now the thriving Oity of Nelson. That thoy remained here for some considerable time is also known. When the partners went to Cariboo they were "well fixed," and it is .inst possible that they made their pile on the claim marked by this identical discovery post. Mosc Ireland, who was afterwards murdered at Beadinaii's Creek, is also known l i have beeu ut placer work in the immediate vicinity of Nelson. Some years after his murder a number nf Indians were arrested for complicity in the crime. Tbey were in charge ot Anderson, who at Ihe time acted as constable, bur a lot of their tribesmen came down aud rescused the prisoners. Some think that the discovery post was placed there by Muse Ireland, bill the appearance of the groan 1 would go to show that tho claim \*as staked before Ireland's ti mo in this section of the Kootenays. The workmen engaged at the excavation are keeping a sharp lookout for nuggets, the prospect of finding a little glittering gold promoting an energy which is highly commendable. When tlie water be gins to flow around the big gasometer a few colors may be found that will create a flurry in placer mining in and mound Nelson. THE NELSON GAS WORKS. liapid Progress Being Made on lhe Buildings���New Material Coming. Building operations are being very actively pursued at the gas works. The buildings aie to be of stone,which is beiug quarried in the immediate vicinity, and carried to th scene of operations by rail. Tracks are laid frmi the quarry to the building, thus facilitating the handling of the huge blocks, which ure cut and dressed on the ground. Tho material is a very line, hard granite, and although difficult to work, makes a beautiful building. The big gasometer has been or- dcied and will be shipped in sections to Nelson and here put in position. The retort and boiler house are Hearing completion, while as fast as the stone cau be dressed and put together the other buildings are going up. So far tbe woathor has been favorable, but there is some anxiety lest frost and snow should set in before the masonry is complete. The buildings occupy the block from Silica Street to Victoria Streo's, and is admirably sit- ated for gas works, with an abundant water supply, good drainage, and sufficiently isolated so as not to no offensive. Mr. George McEarland is superintendent of the works, undei Mr. D. Morris, the resident engineer of the company. It is expected that all will be finished by Christmas, should the weather prove at all favorable. UNION PERSECUTION. Miller's Charged With Carrying Firearms to Shoot Union Men. The hearing ot the charge preferred against John MoNamara aud Phillip Allen, accused of currying firearms with intent to shoot members of tho Miners' Union, was continued at Ymir yesterday, before Messrs. Buckwortb aud Ross, Justices of the Peace S. 8. Taylor, Q. 0., appeared for the prosecution, and W. A. Macdonald, o.. 0., tor the defence. A number of witnesses wore examined who testified to seeing McNaniara oarrying arms, but uone of thera v/ould say that ho attempted or intended to use his revolver as charged. ..: the oonolnsiou of tbe evidence oojuhbI addressed tbo court at considerable length reviewing the evidence.

The short talo of a dog is briefly told by Mr. Jeff Steele, an employe at the Granite mine. It appears that the dog and his muster were coming iu to town from the mine the other evening, and took to the railway traok, Arriving at cue of the curves, they heard a train approach, and to save himself the man of Steele jumped from the track to hnd himself in a pool of water several feet below. Tho dog was about to follow his example, but ere his tail cleared the track if was caught under the fore wheel of the engine, and needless to say, severed from the body. But the rest of this particular canine landed on his anxious master in the pool below.

"I wns reading yonr 'Odd Talks with Old Timers' in Wednesday's Miner, " snid an early settler yesterday, "and have sent copies to the people alluded to���for I know them all Yonr informant didn't make tho ninstard plaster stroiiR enongli, ns the mnstard was mixed with brandy as a sort of voucher that it would do its worn. I saw poor ��� knocking round for days after without n vest and his coat unbuttoned,and 'twas said that it cost *!8 for cream nml cooling ointments to heal up the spat of the supposed cramps. Ho had a hot time of it. "And talking of heat, reminds me of tlio lirst, lire we hud in Kelson. It was in the year ;8l)2. The tiro broke out in Onrney'a Btore down iu the west end of the town, and it spread so rapidly that Jack Bordeau nearly lost his life. The store wus n:n on general lines and hart a hut her shop attached. Jack was at the rear preparing sapper, anrl In fore he knew what was going on ho was surrounded by the flames. We had a hard job to get him out. There was no fire brigade in those days, and our water supply %vas limited, The reservoir, sunh as il was, was about, where John Houston's house now stands. A bucket brigade was formed, but without water and but few buckets available, tbe build ing was soon reduced to ashes. That was the first fire. "The first prisoner arrested in Nelson was in 1801, so you see that even in the curly days this Nolson of ours was a law-abiding place. I t'orcet the fellow's name, but we had no jail, and ho was handcuffed to a tree, the stump of which is still standing at the rear of Frank Tamblyns place on Baker street. The arrest was made by Mr. Giffln, who was constable, recorder, and everything else at the time. As the fellow was handouffud around the tree he could do nothing but stand up and receive the jeers of everybody passing. It appears he hud some chewing tobacco in his pocket and as the people passed hy ho would call upon them to put a hand in his pocket and give him a chew. Of course he met an accommodating chap to do so. Having remained a day in this position lie was liberated, and vowed he would never go to jail in Nelson again." "Tho first funeral in Nelson was that of Bart Henderson. He died in 1888, and wus buried about where the C. P. R. office now stands at the west end of Euker Street. Wo bad uo par- sons here in those days,and Bibles and prayer books were scarce. But luckily for Bart, lio was a Free Mason, and the bret ren had their own mystic service at the grave, and afterwards put a fence round to mark the resting place of a jolly good fellow. This marked the place us a burial ground. The next to be interred there wus a n,an who was accidentally shot at Forty Nine Creek. A sportsman took him for a deer and fired with fatal effect. Tho accident occurred on the Queen Victoria claim, ou the other side of the river. A lot of us went down for the body and look it across, As it was late when we got over, we buried the body, so us to prevent the wolves getting 'at it, for there were lots of them around then. Next morning we dug it up again and brought it to Nelson, where we gave it decent burial. But the body didn't long remain there. The man's mother came in from Minnesota and took it back for interment. There were a numliei of other bodies buried .in this, our first graveyard. Later on whon the old cemetery wus marked, all those bodies were removed there, Mickey Burns, who wus in town np to about a year ago, having the contract for removing them. You know theso sumo hod ies were again ro- inoved about eighteen months ago to the new cemetery, which I suppose will be their last resting place." LIFE IN A BOER OAMP. Their Fine Watch Repairing a Special, % -C-* ik- -ifi. '*> .ifi. 'v-** -ifi. -ifi- '"���** tk. m Hr *^;^^^*^1^*JI*^^***** Times Correspondent Describes Manners and Customs. A speeial correspondent of the London Times describes his stay in a Boer camp as the wur wjs breaking out, hiH letter beiug dated Capetown, October 18: Tho confidence of the Boers in the certainty of tbeirjsnocese was unbounded. They never doubted for a niomeiil that, having once crossed Laing's Nek they would march straight down to Dnrban destroying tlie mere handful cf Britisli in their path. As for Capo Colony, that would rise on ovory side to welcome them. Onlv n few of the more educated ninong the Pretorians contemplated tho possibility of defeat. and even they, after a week in tbe camp, were caught by the general contagion. Their confidence was based chiefly on tbo excellence of their rifle shooting nud on the enthusiast ie spirit which animated the whole country. As tu the former I had no opportunity of judging, though I confess tn feeling u littlo doubtful about it, when I heard them quoting tlie events of the Jameson raid as an evidence thereof. On one occasion I tried to test tho Boers' capacity for estimating distances, for which they ure so celebrated. I look il distance I guessed to be, 7U0 yards, and asked perhaps a dozen Boms und Pretorians to toll me what it was. I was surprised to get every possible estimate from 8B0 to 7U0 yards, tho majority judging the disluiice to be i.boi'it riti'u yards. On stepping it I found it to le UOU yards. It is quite possihle thnt if nny very heavy engagements take place in which tne Boers nie themselves exposed tn a severe file, the quality of their ninrkesmnn- ship will full very much short of thei* reputation. Tho arrangements of a Boer laager are very different from these of au Kuulish military oamp. The chief difference lies in tlio fuct thut among the Boers every mini is supposed,' us far as possible, to look after his own affairs, to bring bis own waaon and borses, und to some extent, bis own provisions. The Government provides tents, blankets, mackintoshes, forage, und provisions for distribution to those who want any of those things, but na one is obliged to take them, Ou the other hand, there is no limit to what any Individual may choose to bring foi himself There are no fixed regulations ns to messes, but friends club together ns tbey please and huve meals when they like. Thero were many small parties in lhe Pretoria leaner who hud managed to mnko themselves most comfortable,who had spare tents, abnndance of tinned and fresh provision.: sent from homo, aud Kaliir servants to cook their food and mind their hoises, and who consequently had very little t.i do the whole day lcnn besides eating, talking, and Bleeping, except perhaps, to go out for a ride. There were no drills or field exercises, except u parade on the President's birthday mid cv n at this ntten lance wa< by no means o! ligntory. Guards, however,were put round the camp regularly every uiyht, and from each of the camps a detachment of 20 or ill) bors mien was sent every 12 hours to relieve the patrols stationed along the Natal frontier. There was voiy little disoipliue or method in the camp, but plenty of willingness, and a natural instinct for doing the right thing, which served very well iu their place. After I had bec-n there two or three days the whole camp was broken np and shifted a couple of miles to bring it near better drinking water, and to find new grass for the horses. The whole operation went off perfectly smoothly, without a single order being given, except the order that the oamp was to be moved. Every man looked after his own affairs, and in three or tour hours from the time that the order to break up was given the new camp was complete and cooking was going on busily. In action the operations of a Boer commando are directed b7 the commandant aud the Field Cornet or Field Cornets, but in camp tho chief work devolves upon the corporals, of whom perhaps there are half a dozen in our laager. The corporal looks after the stores, distributes forage, rations, and ammunition, supervises the removal of baggage, the erection of touts, the drawing up of tho wagons on the sides of the laager, the tethering of the horses���iu fact, most of the operations of enmp life. Ho hns also disciplinary power to tbe extent of imposing small fines or strokes with a stii- rup leather for contravention of his orders, though the power is uot often exercised. ThoPretoiia laager wuh especially interesting owing to its composition. Only half of it consisted of Boers properly sc. called, the farmers of the Pretoria district; the other half was composed of the citizens of Pretoria itself ��� lawyers, clerks, shopkeepers, and Government officials. Between the two there was a great difference. Tho townsmen nf Pretoria are in most ways very much more Knglisb than Dutch, in their life, their thoughts, aud, not least, their language. Many too, among the Pretoriaua iu the oamp were English-born Burghers who had been commaiidered nnd could not well refuse, and still more wore originally from Oape Colony. The ordinary lun gunge of conversation iu the town half of the camp was English though efforts were made by many to keep up Dutch for patriotism's sake, especially when some of the real Beers were near. At night, whilo tho Boers chanted interminable psalms in Dutch, tho Pretor- iuns whiled away tho time by singing comic and sentimental songs in English. Many of the younger men among the Pretorians are fine athletic fellows and reputed to be good shots, but the real strength of tho Transvaal lies not in them or any of the luiseellanous Hollander and German or Irish volunteer corps, but in the old bnck-conntry Poors, tho men who took pint in the rising of 1881, and who learnt their shooting in tho days when game was plentiful nnd enrtridgs loo expensive to bo lightly wasted. The whole force in the laagers dotted about within a few miles of Sands pruit amounted to between 8,(100 and 10,01)0 men, comprising the Pretoria, Heildelbera. Middlehurg, Krugersdorp, Btanderton,Wakkerstroom, and Brraelo commandos, the State Artillery, aud corps of Hollanders, Germans, and Irish. This is the body of troops that has uow advanced into Natal oyer Luiiigs Nek and will defend that position when tlie BritiBh troops begin their advance. " The Statu Artillery detachment consists of 111 Krupp guns of the latest pattern, and some SOI) men. The Boers have taken some trouble with their artillery since tho Jameson raid. The artillerymen are certainly a line body of 'lien, and excellent riders, Thoy themselves aro convinced that tnoy will do groat execution and very much surprise the British. But the old Boers look upon urtil- lniy as a dangerous innovation which may seriously hamper Iho freedom of thoir movements. ��� �����������������������������������������������������������������������������������.�������� ��� ��� �������� ��� <��� ��� ��� ��� i X 4- 4, ���*��� ��� ��� ��� THE QUEEN'S FAREWELL.

I ��������������������������������������������������������������������������� Kossland, Nov. 36.���The week has been a quiet one in the camp. Work has beeu progressing in all the properties us usual. The shipments lor the week ending Nov. 25th aggregate 4,884 tons, making a daily average output of (ills tons. The Monte Cristo is to re- comm 31108 work once more at once, and as a railway spur is now being completed for shipping purposes, it is presumed that shipments will also begin agaiu. There have been many rumors concerning the Evening Star Company, but nothing definite hns been given out beyond the fact that arrangements are being made to actively work the mines and recommence shipping next month. Appended is a detailed statement (approximately) of the output of ore from Kossland camp for the weak ending November 35, and tho year to date: .Le Koi mine,for week,3,804,for Fear, 88.592; War Eagle, week, 1,8(10; year, 57,548; Iron Mask, 180, 5,001 ; Evening Star, for year, 1,088; Deer Park, for year, 18; Centre Star, week, 540, yoar, 12,426; Columbia-Kootenay, year, 111; Virginia, year, 100; Mountain Trail, year, 20 ; I. X. L., year, 75 ; Coxey, year, 20. Total for week, 4,884 tons; for year, 1(10,085 tons. ��� * * Kossland, Nov. 25���The Virginia, which is planning steadily and regular shipments, will have a siding uf its own for loading the ore. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company has completed the work of grading for the new side track, and all now remaining is to lay the rails from the main line to the new shaft. Superintendent Mc- Pherson is centering work in the west drift of the 41-foot level. The drift is steadily beiug driven onward, it is now iu about 75 .feet and has followed ore all the way. A considerable quantity is on the dump. The rlnns for future development call for weekly shipments of about 20 tons to the Trail Smeller, where a $11 rale has been secured. ��� ��� ��� 11 is reported that ('. J. McCimig lias in view the establishment at Republic camp, a 300-ton mill, arranged that ils capacity may be increased to 400 or 1,000 por day, for the treatment of lhe ores of the various properties there in which he is interested. The mill will be entirely separate from any of the mines, and will be under tho management of an independent company. What process will be adopted in treating the ores if positively deoided, has not yet been made known. from the plug, bnt tho little fellow objected saying that was not, enough and tried to break the ping in two. When Sheriff Canntt asked him his age, he asked : "What comes after six?" The sheiiff answered "seven, "and the little fellow said : "Well, that's it.'' He filled his mouth with tobacco aud said; "Now I'll dance for you," and suiting the action to the word, proceeded to dance for the edification of a number who were present. He persisted in spitting on the floor regardless of the warning of the janitor and was finally locked in jail, where he occasionally beats on the door and calls for "Pa," the mime ho gives Deputy Sheriff Stewart, to come aud take him home. He is apparently quit/' bright, hut is a confirmed tobacco fiend aud fairly eats the weed. He is subject to fits and when recovering from a fit calls for tobacco and will not become quiet until he gets it. Neighbors charge his mother and step-father with abusing him, ana citizens of Pullman, where they reside, asked the officers to take action in tho matter, as the child has beuome] a publio uuisance there. His mother chews tobacco and the child has used it constantly since he wits three years old. uht Client Changes That May Be Wron by the Ingenuity of Man.

As art has transformed Ihe one, so has it the other. Only the "Mine Ku ohnel," who hns made the earth, if not exactly the "beautiful forever," at least a pleasant and health In I place wherein to dwell, is no charlatan with a dray load of cosmetics and a glib tongue, but a civil engineer, owning nothing more.harii.ful than a few mysterious looking instruments and a moasuring tape. And the marvel of it all is this���that whi.t has beeu done is but an infinitesimal fraction of that which may and doubtless will bo done. Who can doubt, for iustnnce, that the great Sahara desert���that mole upon the world's face���will one day bo but a memory? It was an in land sea once. It would not be a very difficult matter to convert it into one again. A canal (10 miles long, connecting with the Atlantic the vast degression which runs close up to the const ueurly midway between tho 20tn and 80th parallels of lattitudc, would do tho business beautifully. That water would not, of course, cuver the entire surface of the desert. Here and there are portions lying above sea level. These would become tbe islands of the new Sahara Ocean. What would be the results that would ensue upon this stupendous transformation? Some would be good and some bad. Among the latter inny be mentioned the propable destruction of the vineyards of Southern Europe, which depend for their existence npon tbe warm, dry winds from the great African desert. As some compensation for this, however, tbe mercantile marines of the nations affected would be enabled to gain immediate and easy access to vast regions now given over to barbarism, and a series of more or less flourishing seaport towns would spring up all along the southern borders cf! Morrocco and Algeria, where tbe west- [ orn watershed of the Nile sinks into ; the desert, anii on the northern front- ier of the Congo Free Stato.
