Rife, Colo. Nov. 16.-The sheriff s

special courier from Big Stone Springs,
Yellow Creek, Colo. eighty miles from
Rifle forty miles from Utah line:
State Game Warden Tom johnson
and Chief Warden Frank Fem, for the
First district, are here awaiting the
further movements of $50 Ute warriors
who arrived in Colorado about ten days
ago. making three different camps. On
their arrival they had general all
night pow-wow. They were without
their squaws and were well armed with
Winchesters, ammunition and horses.
They have their faces highly painted
with their war paint. This alarmed
the cowboys, who informed the ranch
men On our arrival the women and
children were preparing to leave the
ranches.
Game is plentiful. The Indians have
slaughtered deer by the hundreds and
started the old Indians back TO Utah
with the hides, leaving horns and car
cases intact.

THEY. MADE A LUCKY BLAST
FORTUNE FOR MINERS AT
II GAINESVILLE, UTAH.
We're About to Abandon Claim as
Worthless When They Decided to
Put in One More Shot.
Special to The Herald.)

Denver, Colo, Nov 16.-Frank Hay
den, who. together with a company of
eight others, left this city fourteen
months ago for Hankesyille, Utah, re-
turned yesterday, well paid for his long
stay in the mountains of Utah.
Mr.. Hayden and his co-partners took
bond and lease ON the Bromide mine,
situated on a lofty peak. Their first
assay averaged IS in gold, but as the
stamp mills were too far away it did
not pay to mine the ORE
After six months they were about to
return to their homes in Colorado, but
on the night before they were to start
Mr.. Hayden and his partner, who had
been working in a drift, resolved to go
down and put in two or three holes and
shoot them before they departed.
Theysdrilled three holes, loaded and
blasted them. They thought it useless
TO go back to see if anything had
opened up. They went on top and in a
few minutes were in bed, fast asleep.
Next morning. to their surprise. they
found that they had opened up rich
vein of sulphide ore. The partners
shipped forty sacks of ore the first
week, and had every team in the little
old diggings of Hankesville employed
in the work.
An agent of the Rothschilds of Lon
don examined the mine. and assays
averaged s2l6 in gold and SAT in copper.
The vein is four feet wide. On his re-
port, the Rothschilds offered $500, 900
for thesleas Mr. Hayden sold out his
interest to the other leasers for $4,000.
and the latter expect to get a much
higher price for their holdings.

abandon his defensive attitude. SINH
lar rumors are. current regarding the
Beers at Mafeking and are spread in
dustriously by native spies.
Special dispatches from LourenZo
Marquee say that the Transvaal gov
eminent is exercising severe censor
ship over all war news, and will not
allow newspapers to leave the country.
One correspondent says the Beers are
hurrying new commandos to Lady
smith,Sand are declaring that the place
must fall speedily in order to liberate
their forces so that these may go to
meet General Buffers advance.
The latest dispatches from Estcourt
regarding the armored train engage
ment say that the train was capsized
by an explosion, presumably dynamite.
The engine returned to Estcourt with
two dead fusiliers and the following
wounded hanging on: Captain Wylie,
three n-commissioned officers and
nine private, all belonging to the Dur
ban volunteers.
Another Estcourt correspondent says:
"A Boer contingent of 800 men came
south of Freec on Wednesday, and two
companies of mounted troops, imperial
light horse and Natal carbineers en-
gagged them eight miles from Estcourt.
The Beers occupied a strong position on
a kopje. The carbineers worked around
on their right and drove the enemy
back, whereupon the imperial light
horse opened a brisk fire at medium
range, killing several. One man of the
imperial light horse was wounded"
The West Yorkshire regiment, the
Prince of Wales own, commanded by
Colonel Kitchener, brother of Lord
Kitchener of Khartoum, has arrived at
Estcourt from Durham. The troops
there sleep in their boots" and the ut
most vigilance is maintained. and it is
iumored that some important move ment
is imminent.
According to special dispatch from
LourenZo Marquee. General Lucas
Meyer has gone to Pretoria for his
health. However. difference of opin-
ion exists among the commanders. The
Boer military council wants the army
moved elsewhere, but General Joubert
insists that Ladysmith must fall first

DISAPPOINTMENT IN LONDON.
Photographs of Leonids Only Obtain
ed By Means of Balloons.

London. Nov. 16.-London has been
badly disappointed regarding the Leon
id showers. Tuesday night was foggy
and last night cloudy and misty. 1t is
believed that no observations were
practicable anywhere in England.
From the Brussels observatory, be-
tween 1870 and 6 a. m. Wednesday, nu-
merous Leonids We're visible. ranging
in brilliancy from the second to the
third degree. having in most instances
a train resembling a comet At 1928
a m. a globe of fire, very bright, was
seen in the direction northeast. thirty
degrees above the horizon.
In Austria, the same night, from
Sonnwendstein and Hochschneeberg,
peaks of the Austrian Alps, about 800
Leonids were seen. Good photographs
We're secured.
M. de La Vaulax, who assembled in
a balloon from Paris, saw about 100 on
Tuesday night.
A balloon. with Mr.. Percival Spencer,
the aeronaut; the Rev. j. NJ. Bacon and
Miss Bacon, assembled at o'clock this
morning from Newbury, Berkshire, for
the purpose of observing the Leonid
shower descending near Meath, South
Wales, this afternoon. The observers
saw only five mefeOrs, but were near
enough to catch some of the fiery va
por by a special apparatus.
They were Obliged to make a sudden
descent. as the balloon was drifting to-
ward the sea AS a result. Mr.. Bacon
was badly shaken and his daughters
arm was fractured.

MEETING OF P0STMASTERS.
Business Transacted By the Associ-
alton Yesterday.

Washington, Nov. 16.-At today
meeting of the National Postmasters'
association. Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General Madden delivered an adj
dress. in which he recommended the
consolidation of third and fourth class
mail matter. He said that one-thirtieth
of the whole amount of mail was fourth
class and one-tenth third class, so that
there would be little, if any, loss by the
consolidation. which would be a great
convenience to the public and the de-
partment.
OF third class matter nearly 30 per
cent 50 entered should be classed as
second and pay the government s
cents a pound Had this been done last
year it would have made an increase of
$4,000 900 in revenues. a number of
resolutions were adopted, including the
following:
1.-The adoption of a limited postal
note, to be issued fer 1 cent without
war tax. and to be arranged in denom-
nations not to exceed 81: the adoption
of the forty-eight hours per week sys-
tenn for letter carriers; limiting the
size of advertising cards 10 5x9 inches;
the careful consideration OF the propo-
sition for a substitute for postage
stamps for small remittances.

LOST TO THE BRITISH.
Total Casualties So Far Are Estimat-
ed at 1852.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from London says: The
impenetrable veil of silence as to the
movements of British troops in Natal
and Cape Colony continues but this
must not be taken to mean that there
is nothing important happening On
the contrary, the very reverse may
well be the case.
When the war began news of the
fighting at Dundee was being sold on
the streets of London while the battle
was actually going on. The lack of
news now from Ladysmith is not owing
to defective means of communication
but simply to the fact that practically
no information as to the military
movements is allowed to come through.
General Butler and Sir George White
are once more in direct communication
with each other.
A very peculiar feeling is apparent
in the public mind, the strain of re-
ceiving no news for 50 long a time
from the seat of war and the GER
tainty that the armies are on the eve
of big engagement combining to make
people very uneasy. This was par
ucularly remarkable, first. at the clubs
where the news boards were eagerly
scanned and left each face disappoint-
ed.
What. no news again? What does
it mean?" was heard over and over
again. The briefest and best reply
heard was business" That is the
general conviction that the lack of
news means business
At the war office there were more
callers with anxious faces than have
been seen for some time but there was
not-one atom of news and anxiety was
only still further increased.
The news vendors even were rather
subdued and while the fly sheets they
bore were inscribed with just as big,
screaming letters as usual. there was
nothing in the papers they sold beyond
a rehash of the stories we have heard
over and over again in many forms and
which the public know by heart.
In the stock exchange the rush of in
vestment in Kaffirs and was not to be
stemmed and the Rands and others
of good class were up in some cases
nearly point
The total British casualties so far as
at present known amount to 1852 The
killed are returned at 267 and the
missing at LOOP.

BRITISH FIND GENERAL
JOUBERT MUCH ALIVE
Led Into Trap By the Willy Beers and Suffer a
Singing Defeat Near EStcOurt
Dead Wounded and Missing Estimated at Between 100 and
150-Lieutenant Winston Churchill Captured.

Estcourt, Natal, Nov. 15.-An armored
train having on board a half company
of Durham volunteers and a hale COM
pany of the Dublin fusileers steamed
to Chievelie early this morning. On its
return ii was shelled by the artillery
of the Beers placed in four positions
Two trucks in front of the engine left
the rails, topping over. While the train
was thus helpless the Durbans ana
DubIins faced the Beers in skirmishlng
order, and the Beers poured shot ana
shell into the crippled train.
The derailed trucks were with great
difficulty removed, and the line was
cleared, when the engine and tender
steamed back.
During this juncture Lieutenant WIN
ston Churchill of the Fourth hussars
and son Of the late Lord Randolph
Churchill, displayed much courage, as
also did the driver and fireman It IS

WALKED INTO A TRAP.
Misfortune Pursues British Employ
ment of Armored Trains.

London, Nov. 16.-Misfortune stead
tasty pursues British employment of
armored trains, the fascination for
which has given the Beers their first
and latest victories. On this last &C.
casion the British seem to have walked
into a deliberate trap, with the result
that, according to the best accounts,
ninety men are either killed, wounded
or missing. OF these the fusiliers claim
fifty and the Durham infantry forty. 1t
is believed that few escaped, and the
others are prisoners in the hands of the
Beers.
Many of the wounded were brought
back on the locomotive and tender of
the arnored train. Captain Haldane of
the Gordon Highlanders was attached
to the fusiliers, and other officers were
with them The list of casualties is
awaited with great anxiety. In time of
trouble Lieutenant Winston Churchill
has proved himself more soldier than
a correspondent, and his gallantry is
highly praised on all sides.
The rumor of the death of General
Joubert is discredited. 1t is understood
that the war office has news that he is
still directing affairs. 1t is also ru-
mored from Pietermaritzburg that the
Boer losses at Ladysmith on Thursday
were heavy, and included General Luz
cas- Never, who was either killed or
wounded. The report as to General
Joubert probably arose. from the fact
that his wife has left the Boer camp at
Ladyssnith for the Free State.
According to tie Pietermaritzburg
correspondent of the London Outlook
rumors are current in the Natal capt.
tai that the Beers contemplate a re-
treat. II is needless, however, TO attach

day, Nov. II, evening. says: Chaplain
Matthews arrived here today. He
testifies to the splendid defense of the
royal Irish fusiliers and the Gloucester
regiment against an overwhelming
force of Beers, who held positions on
three sides of the British troops. Re-
tirement on the fourth side was i'm
possible as the way was too precipitous
and surrender was the only alterna-
tive to humiliation. as the Beers were
on the point OF opening a shell fire
upon them.

1t Was a Fierce Fight.

The Natal Mercury. describing the
engagement, says: THE enemy appar-
emily opened fire with a Maxim and
two nine-pounders. getting the range
accurately. The fire was so severe
that telegraph wires and poles were
destroyed. Their guns were posted on
a kopje covered with brushwood and
their sharpshooters We're hidden behind
boulders. The Dublins and volunteers,
fighting an equal battle, thrice drove
the enemy back; but the fierceness of
the rifle and big gun fire was too much
for the brave little party, which was
weakened at the outset by the over
turning of the trucks, hurting several.
Lieutenant ChurchilPs bravery and
GOODNESS were magnificent. Encouraged
by him, all worked like heroes in clear
ing the line to enable the engine and
tender to pass.
Later details show that a heavy rain
and mist compelled a cessation of mr.
