Talking OF n Reduction.

San francisco Bulletin: A notice was
posted In the San Francisco Mining
Board on Friday last asking The Presidents
Of all the Comstock mining associations to
call meetings Of their directors for the
purpose Of considering q reduction Of the
wages Of miners on the Comstock lode.
The wages there are higher than anywhere
else and yet there is not Q mine produc-
ing paying ore.
The demand comes through the clients
of the brokers; that is to say, from the
people who pay the assessments TO keep
the mines In operation. The reason for
preferring the request Ia that mines all
over the Coast. except on the Comstock.
miners wages are from $3.50 TO So per
day, while on the Comstock they are "a
per day, just as they were in bonanza days.

Alex Toponce Of Ogden Is making n
Of the biggest horse deals In the history
OF the West. He has recently purchased
nearly $500 head Of horses and mules
there being only about $50 mules in the
bunch. The horses were purchased on
an average Of $3.50 q head. When the
deal was completed the price naturally
jumped up, and il reached 81 so, as Mr..
Toponce had come near cleaning out all
the cheap horses in this section Of the
country. The horses are nearly all I'M
broken. Unless be can secure very low
freight rates, ID is the intention OF the
owner TO drive the big herd TO Kansas.
A number Of outfits will accompany the
caravan. new horses being put 10 harness
every few days, and In that way Mr..
Toponce figures that by the time he
reaches his destination III Kansas or Ne
braska his band will be Q band OF "broke"
horses. 1t is thought that at this season
Of the year the grass along the way will
furnish sufficient feed. In Nebraska n
broken horses are at present fetching s35
to s37. so. SO Mr.. Toponce figures on max
ing fairly good profits on his big purchase.
The mules will bring probably 500 apiece.
The start will be made about May 1. when
the animals will be brought in from Ne
vads and turned over 70 Mr.. Toponce.
The success Of the venture will be watched
with great interess.-Weber County Times.

THE BRITISH OUTNUMBERED

Cape Town, S. A., Oct. I3.-A
British armored train from Mase-
king was blown up by the Beers at
Vryburg last night, and fifteen
soldiers are reported to have been
killed. 1t was rumored that the
train had on board lot of British
refugees fleeing from the Trans
vaal into Natal. aud that many OF
them were killed, This rumor,
however, cannot be verified.
Two trains loaded with refugees

ing, killing several.

are at Jacobsville, forty miles south
of Kimberly, and are reported to
be moving on the railroad with
the evident intention of blowing
up the bridges.
Maseburg is probably the scene
of a bloody conflict today. but it
is cut off from all com munlcation
from the outside. Six hundred
British defend the town, and they
will probably take stand in the
intrenchments. Here they will be
attacked by Cronje, in command
of the Beers, whose force outnum-
bers the British five to one. 1t
