FROM SOUTH AFRICA
A Jamieson Volunteer Talks to a
 Journal Man.

Mir. w. Joel has been in Fort Wran- gel for the past six weeks. MT. Joel is miner and is after gold, and he came long ways to find it, for he came from Johannesburg, South Africa. He left Johannesburg last March, and stopped two months in Australia. From there to Rossland, E. C., from there to Vic toria and from the latter place to Fort Wrangel. Mir. Joel was in South Africa more than nine years and was well known throughout that part of Africa, A Journal man met MT. Joel, and be- coming aware of his recent travels in serch of the precious metal, of course asked him for an interview for the Journal readers, which was kindly granted.
 "How were times in Africa when you left?' asked the reporter.
 "On the downward grade and still go- ing from bad to worse. The country has never recovered from the Jameison raid. South Africa has the finest and largest quartz mines iu the world, and the output was over 100000 ounces of gold per month, but all this wealth has not prevented hard times. Speak ing of the mines I might say that some of them are being worked at depth of 2500 feet, the quartz averages about seven dollars per ton at that depth. What do the South Africans think of the klondike gold discovery?'
 ''The Klondike discoveries were not known when left Johannesburg, but have heard from there since by let ter, and 1 should judge the excitement is intense. I am informed by letter that 2OOO men will leave South Africa for the klondike this season."
 What do you people think of the Jamieson raid?" Mir Joel was asked.
 You will remember that Jameison had an army of some TOO well armed men, and he was marching toward Jo- hannesburg and was one of the volun- teers of the Northumberland Durham Corpse, composed of about 300 men un- der the command of H. F. Cohen and our corpse was about one mile from the city. We were ordered on the march to meet Jamieson and his men, but before getting started, we receiv- ed the news that Jamieson' army was captured by an army of 2IDO Boere about thirty miles from our city. Jam, iesons army was surrounded and in the battle that ensued, about twelve of Jamieson's were killed and fifteen o1 the Boers. Jamieson seeing himself surrounded and over powered, hoist. ed the white flag
 The Journal man tried to get an ex' pression out of Mr. Joel as to what prompted the attempt to overthrow the Boer governmental fact the re- porter was skirmishing for some poiti cal pointers. but Mr. Joel "shied' around all of our attempts to lead hin into questions of Il political nature and at the end of our most glorious failure in that line we came to the conclusion that Mir Joel was not only a thorough business man. but q "smooth" politician as we'll.
 What do you think of our city after d six weeks residence among us, was asked.
 Well my judgment is that Fort Wrangel is going to boom and make quite city. Investments in real es tate at present prices will bring hand some profits before long. Yes. an going to Dawson. will start here Mon day and will take the Stikeen river route.

They are among the very best peo-
pie in that section of the country,
and we wish them n long and hap
py voyage on the sea of matrimony.
Married, Wednesday at $3.50
o'clock "A. m, VIM. q. Phillips and
Miss May Newman, at the res
idence of the brides father, 5. X.
Newman, in Grange City. The
groom is the son of our old physi-
elan, DIR. Phillips, and like his
father his profession will be that
of physician. He studied at Gin
cinnati for two years, and we have
no doubt he will ere long be recog-
nized as an able and conscientious
physician. The bride is a devout
christian lady of whom no one finds
anything but kind words to say.
The refining touches of education
and music shine forth among her
many graces and she has long been
held in high esteem by her many
acquaintance. May they drink
at the fountain of peace, joy and
prosperity for numerous years is
the wish of many friends.
Elder Finley, who is the leading
spirit in our protracted meeting, is
a young man of good appearance
and possesses high order of intel
ligence. He is also one of the few
ministers who have good sense
enough and manhood enough to
mention the belief and opinions of
others without insulting them. A
man who deals fairly with his fell
low men will do good in the world
and he deserves to do good. The
bigot who is all swollen out of
shape with the idea that he is right
and everybody else is a fool and
eternally lost simply because every
man does not ard cannot believe as
he does, may carry the people
away for awhile, but when his lop-
sidedness becomes apparent his
memory passes away like a dream.
Again, you will observe that the
man who is thoroughly in earnest
with life is not a bigot.

not men at all, but girls in male

Suspicion fell on the girls named.
A watch was set on their move
