THE TRANsVALL TROUBLE.

Chamberlain Makes n Plain Demand of
President Kruger-Kruger's Reply.
LONDON, May 9.-The Outlook pub
fishes special dispatch from its Cape
Town correspondent, in which it is
stated that the British secretary of state
for the colonies, MIR. Joseph Chamber
lain, has dispatched firmly worded de-
mand upon the Transvaal republic that
it must observe its obligations to the
queen, as the paramount power, by Sc
curing peace and order within the re-
public. This demand, the dispatch
says, is supplementary to the demand for
the cancellation of the dynamite con-
cession and is taken to mean that the
British government deems that the
time has come to invite President Kru-
ger to observe the letter as we'll as the
spirit of the London convention. 1t is
not stated how far the demand takes
the form Of an ultimatum, or if a time
is fixed within which the redress of the
grievances of the outlanders shall be
made.

President kruger's Reply.

CAPE Town, May s.-Thc reply of
President Kruger of the Transvaal re-
public to the demand from the British
secretary Of state for the colonies, Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, for the cancella-
ton of the dynamite concession is pub
lished here. President Kruger con-
tends that the concession is bona fide
and constitutes no breach OF the Lon
don convention. The Transvaal, Presi-
dent Kruger insists, is entitled to its
opinion as to what is for the best inter-
ests of the republic.
The amendment of the concession as
asked by the British government, the
president adds, would be breach of
faith with regard to other parties.

Piaus Moving Steadily Ahead, and
Contracts Soon To BE Let.

The contracts will be let today or
Monday for excavation and
for the Diamond r concentration. and
at the same time will be let the con
tract for building two miles of
Hume, necessary to convey the water
of Belt creek to the vicinity of the
mine. A small force has been en-
gagged for the past month going ov-
er and cleaning up the old grade,
but as the right of way had not all
been fixed up, no bids have been
opened for any of the main work.
Representatives of the Colorado
Iron works of Denver and of Frazer
y Chalmers of Chicago have been
here to look at the plans and exam
Inc the ground preparatory to bid
ding on the machinery of the 300
ton mill. There are as yet no OBJ
structions to thes.srprogress of work
and none are anticipated. Already
the solidity of assurances in this
movement is awakening our business
people to ewsslife and energy.
There are three local outfits ready
to file bids as soon as the manage
ment is ready to receive them, and
for the sake of expedition the con
tracts will be let Immediately to To-
cal men. Every facility will be en-
ployed to crowd the work to an
early completion and all the timbers
for the mill will be framed on the
ground.

Deputy assessor Hay went out on
Thursdays train to the Falls, having
completed his labors in the city above
the clouds. The assessment roll of
Neihart will be about the same as
last year, and probably nowhere in
the county will it be greatly chang
ed for better or worse. The town of
Stockett will swell the returns from
a barren stretch of prairie, while
probably Sand Coulee has depreciat-
ed in value enough to offset the diff
ference. Belt will stack up pretty
even with last year; Monarch and
Barker have hot changed, and Great
Falls will not show an astounding
increase in value. Among the coun-
ties of Montana, Cascade will still
be third in wealth with about $13,-
100000 of all kinds of property to
her credit.
Considering the nero indus
trial projects in various parts of the
county, we look to see the assess
ment roll of 1900 place this county
next to Silver Bow in wealth and
Importance. The native resources
are here, and nothing can prevent
the county of Cascade from forging
ahead.

To Repair the Cemetery.

E. P. Collard, Richard Bennett
and Geo. Marelius went to the Gem

are necessary to put the place in
presentable order. They decided to
rake off and burn the trash and dead
brush and to this end they set F. E.
Oriet to work cleaning up the
ground. A special committee of
the lodges will straighten up the
graves and it is proposed to paint
the fence around the ground. This
latter move has not been decided
upon, but next week it will proba-
bly, be done. The town of Neihart
has reason to be proud of her ceme-
terry.

AT CAMP
Excitement ON Account of n Recent
Rich Discovery.

A rich strike of ore is reported at
Camp Hegener, one of the interest
ing mining districts of Carpenter
creek. About two weeks ago the
force working on the Philippi lode
on the east and west vein, broke in
to ore five inches in width, which as
sayed well. Twenty five feet have
since been driven on this ore, and
now at a distance of 25o feet from
the mouth of the tunnel, the ore is
two feet in width and is said to ASSAY
243 ounces per ton. Joe Hegener
the owner was down to town Tues
day and smiling like a prize water
melon at a county fair. He has a
carload of ore ready for shipment as
soon AS the roads have settled.
The Philippi is n of a group of
five claims which belong to Mr..
Hegener, and a great deal Of work
has been done on them. Full of
pluck and perseverance he works
constantly on the claims and in sew
eral places has uncovered pay ore.
The ore of the Philippi consists Of
sulphuret silver in a gangue of sillc-
ious spar. Camp Hegener with this
new strike is one of the most prom
