RICH ORE MINES.

of Gold and silver.

While grading on the Canadian Pa
cifc extension in British Columbia,
Contractors Mckenzie g. Mann have un-
covered great ledges of ore running
high in copper, gold and silver. They
are making good profits on the rail-
road contract, but present indications
are that these mineral discoveries will
pay them far better.
A mining expert who has just come
from British Columbia says that one
ledge alone will make them million
aires. This ledge was found near Cas-
cade, new town on the Columbia L.
Western railroad. 1t has not been
thoroughly explored, but has been
stripped sufficiently TO show il exceeds
so feet in width.
Assays from near the surface give
values of $40 TO $50 a ton, making IL
practically certain another Leroy or
Republic mine has been discovered.
Two smaller ledges have been uncov-
cred by the grading crews, both giving
promise of making good mines.

TO BUILD BRIDGES IN JAPAN.
Constructors of the AtbRra bridge
Receive Large order for Bridges
on Imperial Railroad.

The news of the dedication Of the
Atbara river bridge, in the Soudan. a
few days ago, was such a satisfaction to
the officers OF the American company
which did the work that the reflections
on the permanence of the structure,
contained in some OF the London news
papers, are not likely TO disturb them.
They built the bridge in few months,
while the quickest time in which any
English company would undertake TO
supply II was'a year and half. Insin-
uations that the work might have been
done by English workmen do not
trouble them now, as they have re-
ceiyed from convincing sources the
most satisfactory Endorsement of their
work. They are TO construct for the
Japanese imperial railways the lnrgest
order in steel bridges ever filed in ia
pan by steel company of any country,
and they attribute their selection 10
the prompfness and success with which
they completed the bridge at Aabara.

Reports are being received from the
districts occupied by the enemy that
the Filpinoa believe that Pio Del Pillar
has an audacious plan 10 break through

Possibly these rumora were started
with an idea Of helping him To make n

Ladysmith, Oct. 19.-The British

miles out, Wednesday morning. The
firing began about ten o'clock. num-
ber of casualties have been reported.
Supports are leaving the camp and ex-

Additional Troops Asked For.
London. Oct. ia supplementary
army estimate has been issued asking
the house of commons TO vote an ad-
ditional $4,000 men and e10.G00,nuo
$4,000, ,00ol In consequence of the stu
alton in South Africa.
1t is explained that the $4,000 men
represent the probable maximum eN-
cess beyond the establishments fixed
for the year lsaa-100o, and is in conse-
quence of the calling cut of the reserves
and of the temporary transfer of troops
from the Indian 10 the British estab-
lishment. With the additional So
100000. the total army estimates are
3o,617.200
1t is not believed that the militia are
to be sent TO South Africa. Presumably
they will replenish the denuded Brit
ish garrison towns and thus permit the
government TO send Ia the Cape all the
regulars rendered necessary by devel-
opments in South Africa.

London. Oct. 10. - \ special dispatch
from Pretoria reports that a white flag
has been hoisted at Mafeking. The cor
respondent does not know whether the
town intends to surrender.
a special dispatch dated al Pretoria,
at noon Tuesday. says:
After few shots were fired at
Mafeking the white flag was hoisted. A
BJer party. bearing "A flag OF truce. was
sent to inquire whether the town Aurren-
dered. No definite reply was received.
The Boer messenger was detained for
six hours and then released"
Another special dispatch from Pre-
toria says:
''The Boer Krupp batteries are now COW
ering the town. Military engineers can
be observed laying temporary railroad
which will probably be used in armored
train defense by the garrison"
Humor Not Credited.
London, Oct. I9.-There is still no
authentic news from Mafeking. but all
reports tend TO confirm the belief that
Col. Baden-P Powell is holding his own,
and no credit is given to the vague ru-
NOR that flag of truce had been dis
played.
