EDIsoN's GREATEST WORK.
The Noted Inventor Has Found q Process
for Mining in Arid Regions of the
West and Southwest.

New York, Sept. 1a.-Hidden in the
waste lands of the southwest are tons
upon tons of gold. Up to the present
time this gold has had no value to man.
Mines could not be worked in that re-
gion without water and the cost of
getting ST worth of gold from this
land by former methods would have
exceeded the value of the metal.
Thomas A. Edison. however, has an
electrical apparatus which promises TO
clear up the problem of how to get
this valuable ore from the sands of
New Mexico and other southwestern
states and territories Speaking of his
invention, Mr.. Edison says:
This certainly is the biggest thing ever in
vented, this process for extracting gold from
sand. Near Santa Fe, n. M, there is q region
of 100 square miles, containing gold worth $780,.
O00, O00 that would have remained there had this
process not been discovered That gold will
now be taken out and added to the worlds sup
ply. There are large gold deposits elsewhere
that this process will make available.

TIE QUEEN VERY PACIFIC.
Victoria Is Reluctant to Mar Hen
Peaceful Reign by Permit
ting War.
Beers WOULD EXCITE RACE HATRED.
II Great Britain Once Conquered the South
African Republic, Tt Would Be Difficult
toRetain Supremacy-New Light Dawn
ing ON the Boers-yYar Activity in Lon
don Continues.

London, Sept. 12.-With regard to
The conflict between Great Britain and
the Transvaal, war appears to be more
remote than week ago owing to the
extraordinary reluctance of the queen
to have the closing years Of her reign
married by any sanguinary struggle,
such as a fight with the Beers would
inevitably prove.
True, it would on the one hand be of
advantage to England to take advan-
tage of the present occasion to settle
at once and for all time the Transvaal
question, and to convert the republic
into an ordinary English colony, since
the exact definition of the extent of
England's powers as suzerain will al
ways remain a matter for dispute; but
on the other hand Boer war would
excite to such an extent race hatred
against Great Britain that England's
hold on South Africa would be rem
dered insecure, and it would be neces-
sary to maintain an enormous military
force there in order to retain Suprem-
acy.
Queen Victoria's moderating infu-
ence, in the present instance, and the
manner in which this venerable octo-
genarian ruler of such vast experience
has exercised her power in the interests
of peace is as remarkable as the way
in which her lead has been accepted by
her people in the affair.
It is gradually dawning on the Beers
that the Transvaal has more to gain by
giving way to Great Britain in the
matter of suzerainty and franchise, in
view of the fact that the Dutch ele-
ment controls the legislature of Cape
Town, than by a bloody war, which
must inevitably end in their loss of in
dependence and their complete subjec-
ton.
War Preparations Continue.
London, Sept. 12.-The activity in
the war and admiralty Offices continues,
though there is nothing new regard
ing the Transvaal situation. 1t is said
that orders have been sent to America
