South African War.

A dispatch from Cape Town to the
war Office announces the arrival there,
Monday, of the troopship Armenian,
with three batteries of artillery and an
ammunition column, and the troopship
Nubia, with the Scots Guards and half
battalion of the Northamptonshire
Regiment This brings the total mum.
Der of reiniorcements to 12,802, of
which about 5000 are already on the
way to Durham. The Armenian and
Nubia, whose troops belong to the first
division will probably also be ordered to
proceed. Nine troopships, carrying
II 900 men, were due cape Town, Ives
day.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor
of the exchequer, speaking at Briston,
said: 1.-THE war in South Africa has
destroyed both conventions with the
Transvaal. We must establish there a
pure and honest government on the
basis of equal rights and on something
more enduring than paper safeguards.
Subject to this, we should give what
ever self government may be possible in
South Africa. No one desires that great
country to be governed permanently
from Downing street"
A special despatch from Durham,
Natal, dated Thursday, November 9,
(evening), says: NATIVE runners who
have just arrived here from the Ora
kensburg district, report that the Beers
suffered a severe defeat at Ladysmith
that morning The Boer guns were silen-
ced after four hours fighting, during
which the Boer losses were heavy.

The essays made Of the Grand En-
campment ores during the few months
Of the camps existence have brought II
TO the attention OF the entire mining
world, with the result that a powerful
undercuIrent is already pouring into the
Sierra Madre Mountains thousands of
dollars for the Development Of gold and
copper prospects.
The Department OF Mining and &c
ology of the Wyoming state University
has given out ten remarkable assays of
surface gold ores from the Grand En-
campment mining district in Southern
Wyoming. These assays were of ore
from widely different parts of the dis
triet, no two samples being from any
one prospector or miner. The phenom-
email average Of S461 81 resulted from
them. The best ore ran Sl,516 81 per
ton, the lowest grade being SIS IS
The ten assays gave a gold yield per
ton in ounces as follows No l, 54.S4
ounces; No ?, l o.: 10. 3. 124; No. 4,
81 POO; No. }, 2 81; No ., 3 81; No. :,
2 19l.
These assays were made in the assay
| ing department of the Wyoming State
University and were conducted By Pro
lessor Nilber {. Knight, of the chair of
mining and geology They were of ores
sent TO the University to be tested by
ranchmen and prospectors in the newly
| discovered gold district, aud were in
| aasa al frafo 1uarty aud dc
composed oxidized iron showing atmos-
pheric action, and thus indicating that
| the samples were all from the surface.
Other samples from the district were
received by private parties which ran
81 $50 1G and 81 OIL and chosen pieces
showing plenty of free gold have been
found which ran even higher. No
general average embracing the entire
district has before been given with any
thing like the above results.
TIE FAMOUS OPPER FIELDS of
Grand Encampment are almost as extern
siye as the gold portion of the district,
and mill returns from the mines show
values running from y per cent to 20
per cent in pure copper. When We take
| into consideration that the famous Calu-
met y Hecla copper mine of Michigan
|
paid something over S50,00O,000 in divi-'
dends-a corporation that has but one
rival in all the world SO far as profits ara
concerned-ths being the celebrated
Kimberly & De Beers Diamond Mining
| Company, which controls the fabulously
rich diamond trade of Southern Africa
and supports something over 50 600 peo-
pie in its immediate employ. and then
consider the fact that the Calumet h
Hecla ores show values of only about 5
per cent. and the famous Anaconda
mine at Butte, Montana, which supports
a population Of about 10000 people and
pays an annual dividend of about
100000, shows copper Of only Il per
cent, then we begin to understand
what this newly discovered copper dis
Irict at Grand Encampment means TO
the world, where its values run all the
way from y per cent to 20 per cent
pure.

Governor Powers has agreed to the
pardon of James M. Lowell, who has
been in the State prison 25 years for the
murder of his wife. The council voted
to recommend this action, some weeks
ago, but Gov. Powers evidently desired
further time to consider the matter.
The theory of the petitioners was that
the murder was not in the first degree,
Tor which Lowell was convicted and
sentenced, but was manslaughter or at
most murder in the second degree.
