is timed to reach Manila by the end of the
month. Major General Lawton has been
IN command of the Fourth regiment now
at Fort Sheridan, Ills, the Twelfth at

them January Y from New York on the
transports Mohawk and Massachusetts,
proceeding by way of the Suez canal. This

will be ready to return with either the
Third or the Twenty second regiment five
days later.
While everything is being done by the
war department authorities to expedite
the departure OF these troops, in com
j pliance with repeated limitations from
/ General Otis that lie is anxious to eX-
change his volunteers for regulars, it hats
been found impossible to start them much
earlier than the middle of January, which
was the time set when it was first decid-
ed two weeks ago to send portion OF the

1t now seems assured that the paying

surround Republic is not less than 10
miles square, and there is a probability
of its being fully Is miles square De-
yelOpment work brings surprises from all
quarters, and no one can tell when the
end will be reached. There is said TO be
a good deal of work in prog ess on the
O'Brian creek mines, but IS particulars
are not obtainable, their character can
not be given now. The assays that were
made last summer from the ore in several
of the claims demonstrated that there are
some fine properties in that section.
Total Copper Production.
The copper production of the United
States for the eleven months ending Nov.
80 last was 2l5,790 tons, as against a
total of 1885 for 1897. For the same
period of this year the foreign production
was 6,ll8 tons and for 1897 it was So
275. A part of the increase in the Unit
ed States is due to the output of the Bo-
leo mine in Lower California, which is
now shipped through the United States
ports, which amounted to about $500
tons this year.
Unexpected Strike.
The new rock cuttings for widening
and Strengthening the Columbia & West
ern railway have brought to light some
very fine mineral leads where none had
hitherto been suspected. On the Paris
Belle and Great Western good leads have
been cut by the laborers on the railway,
and in the new cutting close to Davis
street 500 ore has been exposed The
owners of this mineral claim have, it is
stated, disposed of it for $4,000

The War Eagles new hoist, the biggest

Canada, will be put in operation next

number to be put TO work as soon as the
proposed new equipment is fully install
led. The War Eagles old plant is to be
re-erected on the Centre Star, which was
recently purchased by the GoOderham and

I see by the dispatches that

had soldier sent one year to

instead of through a subordinate.
How mighty have the generals
grown Such men are a dis
grace to any other than heath

to Hon. J. w. Radford, the we'll
known republican politician of
Kansas City, Kansas sOld
Glory is all right, but her honor
is on the bum. The war is rot
ten, and we soldiers lead the
lives of yellow dogs. 1t is a
good thing for Otis that he does
not go near the fighting line.
Such as Otis are the kind who
have raped every republic and
helped to establish monarchies.
