WASHINeTON, October 24.���Governor Steuneiiberg of Idaho had another con* fereuce today with-Secretary Root respecting the maintenance in federal custody of the miners who are now held as prisoners iu Idaho by the ti'oops. The war department is anxious to escape the responsibility for the further care of these prisoners. On the other hand,governor Steunenberg can not see his way clear to accept their custody, because he has uot a .sufficient force to take care of them, Secretary Root suggested that the governor issue a call for a special session of the legislature to deal' with the question. Meanwhile the war department will continue, for a time at least, to hold the prisoners. JOINT ATTACiUIN KIMBERLEY Is the Boer Programme. London, October 25.���The Daily Tele-^ graph has the following from Deear, Cape Colony, dated Monday evening: The Ti'ansvaal government are about issuing a proclamation declaring the district nortli of the Vaal river and including Bechuanaland, to be Boer territory. Commandant, Cronje, who has been twice repulsed at Mafeking, is said to be advancing on Kimberley, and to be im- prifoiling men and seizing stores and munitions in British territory. He left a small force investing Mafeking. The Free State Boers are moving westward iii order to join him for tin attack on Kimberley. The despatch riders who are coming down to the; Orange river from Kimberley are .performing daring feats. They ride through the Boer lines under cover of darkness and get to the Orange river' without taking tiny rest save for a change'of horses. The distance is�� sixty miles. A dispatch from Kimberley, dated October 21st, says the position in Kirn- berly is unchanged. The siege continues. Yesterday the armored train found the enemy in the same position in the Spyt- foutein neighborhood. The prisoners who wei'e captured when the armored tiaiu was destroyed by the'Boers at Kraaipan, are now reported alive and well treated. The Boers hoisted the flag of the Transvaal over Vryburg on October 18th and aro about issuing a proclamation that Bechuanaland now forms a part of the Ti'ansvaal. This is regaided as a movement to induce the colonial Dutch to join the republic without incurring a risk hereafter of the chargo of liigk treason if the Boers are ultimately defeated. Colonel Kekwich, on hearing of it,, im^ mediately issued a proclamation notify^ ing the people that if any British subjects wore found assisting her majesty's enemies, either dii ectly or indirectly such persons would be punished as rebels. AN INTERVIEW THAT MAY LEAD BY A SWIFT MARCH GENERALYULE Effects a Junction \"With General White. London, October 25.���The Capetown correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing at 9.45 p.m. yesterday, says : \" General Yule has performed a brilliant stategical movement. By a swift march to tho south, leaving Gleneoe empty, he has effected a junction of his forces with tho.e of general White, slightly north of Ladysmith. The two are now in a position to offer battle. I believe the first attack will be made on the Free State foice which entered Natal by way of \"Tintwa-pass-rand-which-lias-siiiee-beeu- harassiug Ladysmith. The military authorities decided that by joining their forces the two generals would be better able to cope with one large force at a Lime, than having two small detachments to oppose simultaneously. Accordingly, after defeating the Free State troops, they will oiler battle to commandant- general Joubert. Only forty miles now septu ate the two Boer forces, Iience the need for swift and telling action. The two suctions of the Boor army together outnumber the entire British force three to ono. Hard fighting is cei'lain at a very early date. Our men are confident, and theic is much enthusiasm. The fighting today outside Ladysmith was a mere brush. The losses on oithcr side were insiguificent. It was an artillery duel, in which the Boers came oil\" decidedly the worst.\" Dawson Wants to Send a Hundred Men. Victoria, October 24.���News from the nortli todtiy is that Dawson has caught the war fever, and her citizens send an offer to contribute a hundred men aud the money to equip and pay them on service, to fight for the British cause in South Africa, Many of the volunteers are time expired men of the Northwest Mounted Police, and splendid cavalry soldiers. EobberietJ at Montreal. MontiikaIj, October 24.���A daring burglary was committed hero early Sunday moining on the premises of the Ljing Manufacturing Company, wholesale biscuit and candy manufacturers. The burglars bound and gagged the night watchman. They only secured, however, about $250. Gurd & Co., ginger ale manufacturers, were also robbed of $250 on Saturday. To Satisfactory Kesults. The interview which mayor Neelauds and city clerk Strachau had with presi- dent Shaughnessy on Monday evening was highly satisfactory. Their mission, in tho first'instance, was to place before the railway president the difficulty which had cropped up between the city and the railway company with respect to the Hall street recreation grounds. They found president Shaughnessy prepared' to discuss the matter without quibbling. In the first place, he stated that if there had been any agreement, verbal or writ-] ten, ou the part of the railway-company' to transfer to the city the lots embraced within the present recreation ground, it would be carried out. The representatives of the corporation had no difficulty in convincing Mr. Shaughnessy that there had been such an agreement, and the prospect of the city's securing the lots in question is now higher than ever. It will now be referred to Mi\". Hamilton, the company^s land commissioner, and a settlement satisfactory to the city may; be expected. ' Mr. Shaughnessy then proceeded to talk of matters of general interest to tlie people of Nelson. As a beginning, he offered it as his opinion that the future of: Nelson was assured. He followed this up with the statement that the Canadian- Pacific Railway Company had decided to: make Nelson a divisional point. In line.' with this policy, the company would proceed at once with the rearrangement of. ��� the-company's.yard in this city. This he said would embrace extensive improvements along the water front, including the building of shops, a new station, and and another wharf. Mr. Shaughnessy stated that he had looked over the ground and appreciated the inconvenience which had been occasioned -during the high water of 1894. He added, that in the rearrangement contemplated such provision would be made as would prevent a reoccurrence of the difficulty of 1894. As the company contemplated large expenditures in Nelson in the eree- tiou of divisional facilities, Mr. Shaughnessy sttited that the company would naturally expect some consideration from the city in the way of exemption from taxation 'for a given period, at least of the works which it was proposed to put up. In this he was met by the mayor, who assured him that he was satisfied in his own mind that the eity would deal generously with the company in this respect. In speaking of the company's intentions with respect to the completion of tlie Crow's Nest Pass branch, by building the connecting link between Nelson aud Kootenay1 Landing, t Mr. Shaughnessy plainly intimated that the company would not attempt to complete its contract if au extension could be secured from the Dominion government. The only portion of the road which the company contemplated building at pi'esent was the line fiom Nelson to Balfour. This, he said, would be undertaken at once. Its completion would enable the company to make the transfer from Kootenay Landing in about two hours. A MILLION A YEAR TAKEN FROM Curling Club Meeting.

Toronto, October 24.���In a lectin e at Knox church last night on ritualism in England, Samuel Smith, M. P. for Flintshire, predicted that England was going to pass through a time like that of Laud. He said that there would not be civil war, but a bitter fight between Piotest- antism.Jiud Romanism. Spokane Toilers by Gamblers. Spokane Chronicle. During the recent reform agitation the gambling question received more or less attention, but there are few who have any idea as to the extent to which this business is carried on in this city, unless they have made a personal visit to the gambling halls. Everyone knows that gambling is and has been carried on: openly in this city for a number of years uuder \"police protection,\" but many have an idea that it is only followed by ii certain small class and that no great amount, of harm is done thereby. One trip through the gambling houses, however, is all that is needed to convince one that, gambling is today one of the leading \"industries\" of the city, and that as much money passes through the gambling houses as through the banks. There are now in the city five gambling houses conducting what are known as banking games, where the outsider plays against the house. These are all located within three blocks of each other, in what has come to be known as the \"down town\" portion of the,city. They are the: Coeur d.Aleue, the Owl, the Stockholm, Harry Green's, and tlm Le Roi. There is but little difference in the manner in which they are conducted, except, perhaps, that the two last named have a better class of customers���those Avho do hot like to play at the same tables with the Chinamen who frequent the other houses in larger numbers, y Some idea of the magnitude of the gambling business in.this city can be had from the statement that one of the houses alone employs over fifty dealers for its games, at average salaries of $6 per day. This means a monthly expense of .$900.0 for salaries - alone, to say nothing of the other expenses,' including the regular monthly fines, which amount to several hundred dollars. The exjict amount paid for .fines this month is not yet ascertainable, as nearly all of the houses have been putting in additional tables and getting ready for the increase in business which always comes at this tiihe of the year, when the men who have been away to the miuesand harvest fields woi king for the summer are beginning to come back to the city. It is estimated, however, that the daily expense of running the Owl, which is. perhaps, the best patroni'/cd of the gambling houses, is not less than $1000 per day. But, notwithstanding this enormous expense, it is making big jnoney for its proprietors. When one is confronted with these figures, the question naturally arises as to where this money comes from. To answer this it is necessary to visit the house and take a look at the players. The hall has been enlarged recently to accommodate the rush in business, but still when one steps in there on a Saturday night it is like trying to force his way through the crowd at the opening of the amusement-tent at the exposition last week. Always well filled up, the gambling halls are literally packed on Saturday nights, when the working men of the city receive tlieir wages.' Every table is crowded with playeis, with others cagei'Iy trying to get in reach that they may place their bets. Sitting side by side and rubbing elbows with etich other may be seen till classes of people, fi om pi'omiheht biisi- ness men to the lowest type of rounders who has been \"staked\" by some fallen women. Here may be seen young men holding j'esponsiblc positions, who come in and make their bets as though they were ashamed to be seen, but who can not rosist the temptation to try their luck ou the green cloth, in the vain hope that they may be able to add something to the salaries that they receive for their work. It is a nighlly occurrence to see the*-e young men \"go broke\" and leave the hall vowing that they will never come imck again, but they always return on their next pay day to try and retrieve what they have lost. These smiie scenes are enacted at till of the gambling houses, and the propiiotois are getting rich, while those who ftitni-h the money are getting deeper and deeper in the toils till they become confinned gamblers, and many end by going into crime to secure the means to gratify their passion. In biicf, Spokane's gambling halls, it is estimated, take from the working men of the city between *. 150,000 to $200,000 per month, for which they give nothing in return. Worked to His Satisfaction. A. II, Gracey, who for nearly a pa^t has had his headquarters in the .Slocan, was introduced on the Toronto Mining Exchange the other day. lie litis been engaged in supetintending the development of a number of mining propei ties ���in which Toronto people are interested, and his woivk has been successful, in regard to his own work Mr, Gracey declined to make tiny statement beyond the fact that the miners' strike there had been of the utmost help to him, says the Toronto ��� Globe. He paid the full scale of wages demanded by the men, and in that way was able to command the very best labor in the country. All his miners were skilled and experienced men, and while he paid the highest wages the quality and quantity of the work amply repaid the extra outlay. He is operating the St. Louis group on Lemon creek, and the Silver Queen, near Burton City. Mr. Gracey avjis previously engaged in mining ���in California and the western states, and was also employed as an expert by the Ontario government. THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE Still Hangs Fire. Washington, October 24.���It is said at the stjite department that the proposal as to a permanent Alaskan boundary laid down bp sir Louis Davies is nothing more or less than a summary of the claims heretofore preferred. When the commission was in session hist spring, and the Cauadi.au proposition was made to settle the boundary question by arbitration,the American commissioners replied with an offer to accept arbitration on condition that no point occupied bythe Americans for a specified term of years should be submitted to arbitration. In other words, the question was so fixed that by no possibility could the title to Skaguay or any other place that the Americans had occupied for the period represented by the discovery of the Klondike gold fields be called into question by the arbitration. This was one of the final propositions rejected by the Canadian commissioners, Avhich caused the failure of the join conference. Since that time there have'been���-��� several suggestions in the nature of compromises, and including among these was one like that embodied in sir Louis Davies' proposition, namely, that the United States should confirm the Canadian title to I_iittle Pyramid harbor in return for Canadian confirmation of the Ameiican title to Skaguay. It is not possible to accurately forecast the view that tlie state department will take of the propo- sition, but it may be proper to recall the fact that, in the opinion of the department, Canada has no more claim to Pyramid harbor than it litis to Skaguay and J)yea, and the British government has already been informed of that belief. Therefore, it seems probable that sir Louis Davies' proposition Avill not niatcii- ally advance a, permanent settlement of the boundai-y question, tind that the two countries -will continue to act under the terms of the modus A'ivendi recently tir- ranged by secretary Hay aud Mr. Tower. As to the merits of the last mooted proposition, it can be stated that tit no time since the negotiations have been in progress ,for jui adjustment of the Alaskan boundary line has the United States government given serious consideration to the cession to Canada of a single inch of ground on the shores of J_ynn canal. That position litis uot been changed in any essential re- syeet, and as J^yramid harbor is certainly on a branch of the canal, it follows that the United States government bad never had it in contemplation to surrender its possessions. Of Mr. Lewis' mission to London regarding claims of Ameiican miners in the Atlin district in British Columbia, the state department knows nothing ofTicitil Iy. lTe~d id~hot~appear at\" the department to secure tiny credentials, and so Avent entirely on his own responsibility. GENERALWHITE MEETS THE BOER Forces Near Ladysmith. London, October 25.���The following dispatch from general White to the secretary of state for war, received last evening at 11 o'clock, avjis posted at the war oflice ��oon after midnight: \"Ladvs.mith, October 21���9 p.m.��� lii- fo.'jnatioti received yesterday shows that the Boers had established themselves in cons-idej'able immbci's in tin exceedingly good position west of the main road leading from Iptidysmith to Dundee.

I thcrefoie nuned out a strong force to cover the movement of Yule's command, flu* enemy avjis discovered about se\\on miles out from Lady-mi tli, a position of exceptional iicutial strength Avest of the j'otul. When he saw that preparations were being made against him, he opened fire A\\'ith one gun with great accuracy. Our artillery soon got into position and the gun was silenced. Troops A\\ere otdered to occupy a strong ridge, parallel to tho enemy's position, but nearer the rotut.

New Dknvki'j, October 24.--A strike of importance and encouraging' proportions was made on Friday on the California group, Silver mountain, the particulars of Avhich arrived down the hill Saturday evening. The oi-e avjis encountered in the raise being driven from the No. 3 to the No. 2 tunnels, and the chute is eighteen inches in Avidth of clean shipping oi'e, giving high values in silver and lead. The raise is iioav up 55 feet, Avith 85 feet more to run to catch the foot of a ten-foot winze sunk from the No. 2 workings. In the winze nine inches of galena and fourteen inches of carbonates are exposed, wliich, Avith the strike now made, gives a fairly lai-ge chute to work upon. New Avorkings were commenced this fall on the Clipper ground, Avhich -will be knoAvn as the No. 4 Avorkings, there being three drifts on the California above. No. 4 i.s in 24 feet and will be driven 2;*55 feet to catch the Clipper A-ein ; thence 170 feet along that to tap the California lead. This Avill prove the property at a great depth and give ample stopiug territory foi shipments. The Avork on the property is being done in an admirable manner and the results are proving alike beneficial to the owners and the toAvn. Considerable supplies htwe been sent up the hill, including a number of rails for the No. 4 tunnel. It is the intention of the management to increase the force at once to fifteen men, and larger as development\" warrants. The California-Clipper is stocked for $1,000,000, divided into $1 shares. Of this amount 250,000 shares are placed in the treasury, to be sold at 25 cents, and as the certificates are now- printed, they Avill be issued at once. The remainder of the stock is pooled. Two cars of ore Avas shipped last October and . netted splendid results, one car giving returns of 192 ounces silver and 70 per cent lead. The pi-ogress of the California, Avhich is to be energetically Avoi'ked throughout the Avinter, means a great deal to Ncav Denver, as affordiug one of the principal payrolls of the toAvn. Good Reports From Other Mines. The Marion, another of the Silver mountain properties, never looked better than it does at the present time, the ore chute still continuing in the main-drift. There is more than sufficient ore now iu sight to pay the bond on the group aud its development to date. The Toronto - bonders have made a most fortunate in; vestment. Oi^NoA'einber 4th, the first pay- \"*\" iuent falls due and Avill be promptly met. \" On the Hartney, also, in'tho same neighborhood, development is proceeding '-��� 'in-an-\"energetic - manner, aud manager , Bluemeiiauer is Avell pleased with the showings so far made. ' : . The snowfall on,Silver mountain is not OA'er six inches'as\" yet, and \"does not-hit terfere much Avith the development of - tho,several properties uoav Avorking. The respective claim holders and mine ~ operators* ou .Silver mountain are agitating strongly for government action in putting ti road up tliat hill Avith tis little delay as possible. To the citizens and business men of the town, it menus much to have the road built, and' It is -high time some' move was being made to have things put into proper shape. The distance is not over three miles, andaneasy grade can be had the entire way- from, the New Denver Avagon road up the creek. Mine operators are at present\"- working under a hardship, as it costs . .$30 per ton to hirve supplies packed up, while $12 per ton was paid, by tlie California to have their ore packed down last fall. .Coal -costs, here $80 per ton, and an additional $30 to , liaVve \"it-packed\" up\" the_J)ill makes-it n.��� costly necessity. The developments now going on at tho California, Marion, Hart- ��� ncy, Lost Tiger aud other properties makes a Avagon road tin imperative factor for future operations. Its construction would lessen the cost of transportation fully '55 por cent., and be of immense, benefit lo tlie toAvn. The business men- .should move in this all-important matter and not merely sit by and contemplate, . as !tu-> been tho invariable rule iu the past. ' It is high time New Denver began to bestir herself and utilize the many ad- A-,a nt ages' Jind resources nature has bhwed her with. New buildings aro being constructed on the Chaplotiu, and so soon as they tn*e completed active development on the property aviII be commenced. The quarters will accommodate a large force. On the Arlington, Springer creek, more than.twenty men are employed, and the management i.s spending a heap of money in proving iip this most promising property. _ , ��� Merchants, as a rule throughout the camp, report a revival in business, there being tin increase in the staff pf men employed and more money iu circulation. Tliis is especially noticeable in Sandon. Tho day of the calamity howler is drawing to a close. An American Swindler Sentenced.

The prizes for tlie mineral exhibit at the Spokane exhibition liave been awarded, and we must say- that we consider them far from satisfactory, and many others express the same opinion. In the district exhibit Sumpter, Oregon, with a large display of ore of one cluiracter, gets first, Buffalo Hump, with a small exhibit of inferior ore, gets second, aud Boundary Creek, with the largest exhibit of ore of every character' and gra'de, gets third prize. This is manifestly unfair, aud the making of such awards will not be conducive to large, or any, exhibits from the surrounding distiiets in future years. In the individual exhibition the Boundary Creek Mining & Milling Company's properties take second prize. In the copper ores Boundary Creek, with its fine showing* of chalcopyrite, bornite, glance, and native copper, gets no mention. In the copper-gold ores Rossland, with less .than a dozen specimen exhibits, gets first place ; jtndBoundary Creek,, with-tons of ore well exhibited, is relegated iigaiu to second place. AVe have no hesitation in nfiirining thtvt Boundary Creek district has the finest mineral exhibit at the exhibition, consisting its it does of rich gold- bearing quartz, high grade galena, tcHurides, and chalcopyrites, and should havo j-eceived tho first prize in the dis-- trict exhibit, instead of being insulted with the third. <��� state Bi'itish Columbia; Tin-!

The same feeling stirred us when we received the news of the battle of San Juan, and the same spirit stirred- us two or three days ago when we received the news of the fighting in the Transvjial\" In reply, sir Thomas Lipton said he was deeply liioved by the sincere greeting accorded him. \"I have been asked,\" stiid sir Thomas, \" if I would challenge again. Unfortunately, Mr. Fife, the designer of the Shamrock, has been ill, and we have not had the benefit of his advice during the whole series of races. After the laat race he was too ill to be told, although I suppose he knows now. I am prepared to make another challenge when Mr. Fife regains his health and I can discuss the matter with him.\" TELEGRAPH NEWS IN BRIEF.
