Glencoe Camp. oct. 20.-Afternoon.-
The battle, today. has been a brillian
success. The Beers received a revers,
which may possibly for a time ut any
rate. check all aggressive action.

early part of the day, decided the bat

Beers was "A surprise, for although the
pickets had been exchanging shots al
night. it was not until a shell doomed

presence was discovered Then the
shells came fast.
The hill was positively alive with the

the guns on the hills.
The correspondent could see shells
dropping among the Boer pieces with
remarkable accuracy and doing tremen-
dous execution. for the enemy We're
present in very large numbers and in
places considerably exposed.
BY this time the enemy held the
whole of the hill behind Smiths Farm

ish infantry and cavalry at once
moved. The fighting ragged particu-
larly holly at, the valley outside the
town.
Directly the Boer guns ceased firing,
Gen. Symonds ordered the infantry to
charge was magnificent. The way the
Kings Royal Rifles and the Dublin
Fusiliers stormed the position was one
of the most splendid sight ever seen.
The firing of the Beers was not SO
deadly as might have been expected
from the troops occupying such an ex-
cellent position. but the infantry lost
heavily going up the hill and only the
consummately brilliant way in which
Cen Symonds had trained them to
fighting of the kind saved them from
being swept away.
Indeed. the hill was almost inaccessi-
BILE to the storming party and any hest
tation would have lost the day. The
enemy's guns, so far as the correspond
ent could see. were all abandoned. for
the Beers had no time to remove them.
A stream of fugitives poured down the
hillside into the valley where the bat
tie went on with no abatement.
Gen. Symonds was wounded early in
the action, and the command then de-
volved on Major Yule.

and some galena that were taken by

examination OF mining properties as

as California. He also inquired into
propositions to which his attention
had been called in Oregon, and az
ter an examination of ground in
Colorado, went south into Arizona.
In every commonwealth he found
the camps greatly improved and
filled with representatives of capital
eager TO find something they could
safely recommend to it.. This en-
ergetic search for desirable propo-
sitions has resulted in many deals,
and it is doubtful if the diggings of
the country from British Columbia
to Mexico have ever been in as good
condition generally.-Tribune.
