RECEIVED DEFIANTLY
Volksraad Does Not Take Well to Cham
 berlain's Dispatch

London, September 15.-The Pretoria cor respondent of the Times says:
 Tt is very doubtful whether an unquali- fled acceptance of Great Britain's demands will be given. The Paris correspondent of the Times says that M. Delcasse, the French foreign minister, has directed the French consul in the Transvaal to en- deayor to persuade President Kruger to accept MT. Chamberlain's proposal.'
 The Pretoria correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
 "The members of the volksraad received MT. Chamberlain's dispatch defiantly today tThursday) Individual members declare that Great Britain must modify her de- mands. On the other hand a rumor is cur rent that President Kruger favors compli- ance and has even suggested that he de- sires the irreconcilable to leave Pretoria and consult their constituents, thereby avoiding the opposition. This belief is held in Johannesburg and accounts for the hopeful condition of the market but the general public is pessimstic. The Times publishes the following from Johannes burg:
 "The mystery surrounding the attitude of the Orange Free State continues. Presi- dent Steins' silence is interpreted as show ing an intention to support the Transvaal through thick and thin, though his influ- ence at present is on the side of peace Public feeling is running very high, and unless President Kruger makes an em- phatic pronouncement in favor of concilia- tion the great majority of the Boers will inevitably vote against any concessions beyond a seven years franchise"
 The Capetown correspondent of the Daily News says:
 "A thousand men are engaged in strengthening the defensas of Pretoria Trenches are being excavated and earth works constructed It Is reported that both raads will adjourn at the end of the week to enable members to consult their con stituents on the questions raised in MT. Chamberlain's dispatch"
 While the staff of the foreign office will maintain continuous communication to- night with MT. Chamberlain at Birming- ham, It Is not believed that the result of the debate in the Volksraad will be re- ceived before Friday. Despatches from Capetown, dated midnight attach great importance to an article in the Onsland, the organ of the Afrikanderbund, which urges the Transvaal government to renew it's offer regarding a conference declaring that there is no reason why the Tansvaal should not accept a conference and calling attention to the fact that the word "suze- rainty" is not mentioned by MT. Chamber lain and that, therefore, there is nothing to indicate an obligation on the part of either government than abandon its view on the subject.
 This article Is understood to be the out come of an important Afrikander caucus held to discuss the Chamberlain note and il Is understood that the argument has been fortified Py strong messages to Pre- toria, urging the Volksraad to forego the suzerainty objection and to concede the British proposals There Is every reason to believe that MT. Hoffmeyer the Afri- lander leader, has wired President Kruger

Mr.. Murphy also reports that an inn
portant strike has been made in. the
old Rollins mine, which is now known
as the Lincoln mine. A four-foOt body
OF high-grade ore has been opened up,
and the company is preparing to COM
mence regular shipments OF ore. The
Lincoln mine is owned principally by
capitalists residing at Lincoln, Ills. The
property is being managed by Mr..
John F. Mundy also of Lincoln, Ills,
who has his family at the mine and is
personally conducting the work.
Water has been one of the most dis
turbing elements. and Mr.. Mundy has
recently installed some of the latest
pumping machinery.
Mr. Murphy also brought the infor-
nation that the Old Cave mine, in the
Bradshaw district, which has netted its
former owners many thousands of dol
lars, is now shipping, regularly.
The entire dump of the Monitor, in
the Star district. is being shipped to
the market with profit. The mine is
also being worked and is said to look
encouraging. The Star district is con-
tiguous TO the Beaver Lake and Rocky
districts.

BIG PARK CITY DEAL.
Gold Property to Be Purchased By
Massachusetts Company


William NJ Curtis Thunderer prop
erty at Park City will be purchased
by and become a part of the Massachu-
sets companys holdings in the Park
The transfer of this valuable ground
Will be made by Mr.. Curtis TO the COM
pany during the next few days and
though the price is not given publicity,
it viii undoubtedly require five fig
ures to express it.
The Thunderer ground adioins the
Massachusetts on the east and up to
this time little information has been
given out regarding it.
Strange as it may seem, the Thun-
derer is a straight gold proposition and
contains a strong ledge with several
feet of ore that averages $50 to the ton.
It has not been developed at great
depth. but as the shaft on the Massa
chusetts is in close proximity to the
claim the gold vein can he developed
through it by running a drift some 200
feet. Experts declare the gold ledge
in the Thunderer to be identical with
that which traverses the Silver King
property and as the values in the latter
ground only average SD or Sl4, the
former they say. carries the cream.
Within the next week or two Mr..
Curtis. who is superintendent of the
Massachusetts property. Will leave for
the Park and commence an active cam
paign of development. which, among
other things. contemplates a new shaft
to be put down some distance west of
the present workings. With the gold
vein being developed through the old
shaft and a new one being sunk to
prospect the west end of the company 5
ground. the Massachusetts will present
a scene of great activity.

Manager A. Murphy of the Copper
Ranch Mining company. located in the
Rocky district in Beaver county, re-
turned from the mine yesterday and
brought with him some fine samples of
copper ore.
The Copper Ranch is owned principal
ly by Gill s. Peyton and his Boston as
sociaJes, and from the reports Mr. Muir
ply brings with him it promises to
develop into a great mine.
\ few weeks ago Mr.. Murphy began
sinking a new shaft, on the opposite
side of the ledge from the old workings
and in his explorations he has exposed
a vein of copper bearing ore which he
states is ninety-three feet in width.
The new workings are in a true fis-
sure vein which lies between walls of
granite and the ore exposed, he states.

Sulphides. and also carries good values
in gold and silver.
Mr.. Murphy is very enthusiastic over
his recent strike in the Copper Ranch.
He also speaks in glowing terms of the
future OF the Rocky as well as of the
Beaver Lake district, which adjoins it
on the west
The showing of copper ores in these
two districts Is simply wonderful and

Silver City. Utah, April 21.-In an

in width He is confident from his
knowledge of the ground that there Is

MI. Buchanan. manager and one Of
the owners Of the Picnic. declares that
he had nothing of a startling nature to
mpart but that he entertained the
same opinion held by many men quail
fled to express an Intelligent one con-
corning the property who had carefully
watched the progress of sinking and
drifting, that being. as he believed, the
present workings to be in close prGX-
unity to ore bodies. They are drifting
in a southerly direction on a seYen-foot
vein strongly mineralized, which occa
sionally. discloses small stringers of
low grade ore. 1t is regarded as more
than probable that the intersection Of
the Silver Park vein will be reached
before much more driving is done. The
floor of water which has been ample
to supply the citizens of Silver City
during the winter, is now being almost
wholly drained by the Four Aces shaft
or workings, the latter being something
over eighty feet deeper than the Pic
mic.
Both of the Swanseas are loading ore
for the Salt Lake market, and the
Dragon mine will ship one car Of iron
ore today.
