Mark Elliott's Experiences in
the African Mines and
With Natives.

Mark L. Elliott, the well-known Cali
fornia mining man, formerly. connected
with the superintendency of the Keystone,
Amador, Pittsburg, Grass Valley and
other mines, has arrived here after four
years and half in South Africa.
When he left here he went TO Johannes
burg and took the management of the
Champ dor, George Goch and other
properties. Eventually he went to Masnon-
aland for the Salisbury Reef Cola Min
ing Company, and remained there nearly
TWO years. During that time he acquired
large interests in good mines. The mines
are seventeen miles from Salisbury. This
is away in the interior of Mashonaland,
and it took siderable energy to push
forward there.
On June 20 last while Mr.. Elliott and
his few associates were at the mines the
outbreak of the Mashonas occurred. The
Mashonas are desperate fighters and Mr..
Elliott and his men saw that they had
best try and make their way at once to
Salisbury. The natives adopted the same
tactics in fighting as the American In
dams. They concealed themselves along
he trail and picked off their victims as
they passed
For ten miles of the fourteen there was
hot fighting. The blacks hid in the tall
grass and kept up vicious firing. They
had the latest Martini and other improved
rifles. However, they thought that by
raising the sights of the guns they could
shoot with more deadly force, and because
of this they in many instances shot over
the heads OF the miners Mr.. Elliott and
all the men were well armed and they
rained the bullets right and left on the
natives wherever they saw them. num-
Der were killed, Mr.. Elliott himself fetch
ing down one native in plain view who
had grown desperate and rushed at him
with an assegai. Mr.. Elliott is not an ad-
mirer of the natives.

TRANSCONTINENTAL RATE WAR.
Canadian Pacific May Pull Out Of the As

apply a $3.50 differential frst-class and
s. second-class via ST. Paul and over the

appeal was taken preparatory to taking
individual action. 1t is possible that this
policy on the part of the Canadian Pa
cifc may result in the disruption of the
association and the Inauguration of q

overland roads will undoubtedly apply
for relief as soon as the Canadian Pa

is one fixing in specific terms $500 Der
ton as the maximum price to be paid for
armor plate and providing that in case
the plate cannot be procured at this
price the government shall establish a
plant to make its own armor. The Sen
ate committee also made provision for
three additional torpedo boats.
