The British casualties in the battle of
Glencoe show an unusual proportion Of
commissioned officers killed, including two
colonies. three captains and five %lieuten-
ants and twice as many wounded. A dis
patch attributes the mortality among Off
GERS to their Sticking to the traditions of
the British army and refusing to use the

General surprise will doubtless be ex-
pressed because of the defeat of the Beers
I'm the vicinity of Glencoe. Years ago the
Beers defeated a small British force at Ma
juba Hill. In that fight they won a great
reputation as marksmen and cool fighters
from behind rocks and other natural de-
lenses. This success seems to nave given
that isolated people an exaggerated idea of
their fighting qualities. So far apart from
the worlds populations and activities, the
Beers nave no adequate conception of other
peoples and modern warfare. without dis
eipline. the Beers. largely exceeding the
British in numbers, were routed from a po-
sition which should rave given them great
advantage. The causes of the defeat of the
Beers are on the surface. The superiority
OF the British artillery enabled the assail-
ants TO silence the artillery of the Beers.
Artillery in the hands of skilled soldiers is
a most effective weapon. but in the hands
OF unskilled men it is of little consequence.
The British guns swept the position of the
Beers and dismounted their guns. Under
cover OF such an artillery fire an assault
by two or three disciplined regiments. with
half the number of the Beers. was made.
and was successful. 1t was discipline and
skill against individual courage and lack
OF leadership. The old British regiments
which made the assault had discipline. lead
ership and experience. The Beers possessed
that raw courage which. without compe-
tent direction, gives way to panic in the
presence OF a force of superior skill and
effectiveness. Amazed at the audacity and
effectiveness of the British. the men so
eager to wipe out the British turned and
fed.

The copper mines of Pinal county
are attracting widespread attention,
says the Florence Tribune. Scarcely
day passes but some properties are
sold or bonded. Pinal county is COM
ing to the front as a copper producing
county. Great activity prevails at Min
eral creek, Red Rock, Buttes, Owl
Heads, Riverside, Hunton and south
west of Casa Grande, new locations are
being made daily. Pinal county affords
splendid field for the miners and
prospectors, there is plenty of vacant
ground, and one with a little nerve and
energy can soon make a stake.
Word comes from Jerome that a big
body of rich ere was struck yesterday
in the shaft of the 1888 mine, of the
United Verde extension company, says
the Journal-Miner. Mention was made
in these columns several days ago that
the formation in the shaft had changed
and that indications of ore were good.
If this information is correct it only
proves the theory that has always been
held concerning these properties
known as the Hull group, or the United
Verde Extension company's property.
The shaft in which the ore is reported
to have been found is located within a
stones throw cf the United Verde
Copper company's smelter and board
ing house, and within a very few feet
OF the line of the Wade Hampton mine
from which a very large proportion Of
the rich ore CT the United Verde mine
has been taken. Development work is
also progressing satisfactorily on the
other claims CT the United Verde EX
tension company. On the jerome
claim two drifts have been started
from the bottom of the 245-fOot shaft.
Another shaft, known as the north
shaft, has been sunk forty-eight feet
and drift west from the bottom is in
nice locking ore. On the Red Line
claim the tunnel is in streaks Of good
ore carrying gold, copper and silver.
On the Eureka Extension the tunnel is
in seventy-two feet, and small bodies
OF ere are being encountered.
