mines will soon come under British
control"
In several cases the outgoing regl-
ments contain a preponderance OF re-
serves, the most Of them in the prime
OF manhood. and men who have fought
in India and Egypt. 1t is the aim OF the
war office to send no man to South At
rica unless he has had at least years
service The only serious criticism APP
parently TO be made regarding these
thousands destined for the front Is that
the reserves are for the most part ig-
norant OF the mechanism of the maga-
zine rifles.
MEN TO BE GIVEN PRACTICE.
Efforts have been made to overcome
this and 10 give the men practice with
the Lee-Matford, but the time has been
too short TO do much. What effect this
lack OF familiarity with their own wea-
pom will have upon the accuracy OF the
fire OF the British can only be judged
when the dead and wounded are gath
cred from the fields of battle.
The Boer attack upon the British po-
sitiOn at Glencoe. as was anticipated
yesterday, developed at daybreak this
morning. and. thanks 10 the prompti-
tude OF the war office. whose messages
from the front naturally take preced-
ence. the public has been enabled TO
follow the contest and discriminate be-
tween the real facts and the unreliable
rumors that have flooded the papers.
II appears that the Boer artillery oc-.
cupied n hill commanding the British
camp during the highland began drop
ping shells at daybreak in the direc-
ton OF the British forces.

Fortunately for the British they are

Confirmation Of the report that Cen

News reached the sheriffs office this afternoon that Jim Daniels yes terdsy morning shot and killed J Jack
 Ford, about seven miles above the Phsni1 mine. on Cave creek. The men we're employed with a third psrty, a FreDchman, by H. C.. Yaeger of Pheuix, who has a num- Der of sheep camps Tn that locality. After the shooting Daniels mounted the murdered mans mule and rode away. The mul, was later found about half a mIie distant.
 Ford was shot through the head and through the shoulder and haV- ing one other wound, the location of which was not learned.
 Parties who went to investigate could gain but few particulars from the Frenchman, who did not handle the English language very fuently, but fIom what he could make out 1t to be rather a cold-blooded murder.
 4 sherifs posse left ss soon as possible but as Daniels has s couple of days start be IS liable to lead the officers a pretty good chase. Nothing could be learned of what the alter cation was about but IL was prob ably a camp quarrel and at the time of the shooting Ford was unarmed. Mir.

IMPROVE THE PLAZA.

There is sn sgitS,ion going on now
 Tor improving the plaza. When the
 late Captain O'Neill was sheriff of
 this county be induced the board of
 supervisors to invest in the pur-
 chase of lot of shade trees and be
 had them planted aud cared for by
 the work of the prisoners under the
 supervision of Jailor .Hiekey. A
 ditch was dug To reach every tree in
 the plaza and the water was ob-
 talned by the prisoners pumping it
 from the we'll on the southeast cor
 ner of he Flazs. During the time
 that NIT. O'Neill remained in office
 the trees were well taken care of and grew rapidly. On the change of officers in the sheriffs office the trees
 were neglected and permitted to die until at the present time not more than one or two of all the number planted by him are alive. It would be useless waste of money 10 again attempt to improve the plaza if the care of it, and consequently the sue cess of 1t depends on the whims of the occupant of the sherifrs office There IS no place in the statute where this duty is imposed on that of1cial, or wbere it sayssthe jsilor must oversee prisoners at such work One sheriff aud one Jailor might take pleasure in attempting to besutify the plaza as evidently Sheriff O'Neill l and his jaiior, NJ. J. Hickey did. ! Another set of officials might not 1 hnd any pleasure in such ayOcatlon, and It being no part of their defined l duties might neglect 1t. The JoUR- SAL-MISER has always been an adyo l cate of improving and beautif, ing the plaza, but before another at .empt is made at it there should be 1 some we'll defDed system adopted | 1t could be kept up and pot simply result in another spasmodic effort to be abandoned shortly. The ;ity authorities could we'll afford to
