across the starting line before the

London, Oct. ga great battle has

decided victory for the British. The
battle ragged for eight hours. The
Beers. from their position on a hill
overlooking the British camp, began
dropping shells from battery of four

force was estimated at about 900.
The British, after desperate fight,

position of the enemy. General sy-

kRUCER'S TROOPS DEFEATED
AT ELANDSLAAGTB.
General Rock, the Famous Boer Fighter,
Killed. and Piet Joubert, Nephew of
tho Boer Commander-In-C Chief,
Made Prisoner.

London, Oct ~ The capture OF
Elandslaagte, midway between Glen
coc and Ladysmith, by the British
troops, was a brilliant feat of arms.
The Beers were strongly intrenched
and fought with their UNIV onted brav-
cry. They seized every opportunity of
coming into action and ran to serve
their guns whenever they could get a
chance.
The Beers held position of very ex-
ceptional strength, consisting of a rock
hill about a mile and half southeast
of Elandslaagte station.
The British artillery took position on
a ridge about 900 yards from the
Beers, whose guns at once opened fire.
This fire was generally well directed,
but somewhat high This time, con-
trary to previous experience, the shells
burst well.
The Imperial Light Horse moved to-
and two squadrons of the Fifth Lam
GERS toward the right. During the
artillery duel, mounted Beers pushed
out from the left and engaged the Inn
perial Light Horse In few moments
the Boer guns ceased firing and the
British artillery was turned on the
mounted Beers, who opposed the Inn
perial Light Horse. The latter at once
fell back. After the artillery prepara-
tions the British infantry advanced to
the attack, supported by the artillery
in the second position. The Devon
shires held the Beers in front, while
the Manchester regiment and the Cor
don Highlanders turned their left flank
The Boer guns, although often tenn
porarily silenced, invariably opened
fire again on the slightest opportunity
and were served with great courage
After severe fighting the British in
fantry carried the position.
The Boer camp was captured, with
tents, wagons, horses and also two
guns The Boer losses were very con-
sidera BILE, including a number of un-
wounded and wounded prisoners,
Among the latter are General Jan Kock
and Piet Joubert, nephew of Comman-
der-General Jonbert.
The British loss was $50 in killed
and wounded General KocS died while
being conveyed to the hospital.

The rush of the yachts through the

Rose Stuart is another brilliant bouquet ir the bunch of roses as Mrs. Smith and in fact there is not a part in the p!a. that is not filled thoroughly well.
 As for Mir Broadhurst's comedy, it is immensely funny-bright and breez without being broad or coarse in any way, sparkling with ludicrous situa- lions and as full of good honest, hear ty laughs as a healthy peach tree is full of fragrant blossoms in the early spring time.

THE WOOL PRODUCT.

The wool product in the valley this year exceeds that of any preceding year. Shearing will be finished within week. when the total amount will be upwards of 1000, coo pounds. The amount represents the early shear1ng only, and the remainder of the sheep throughout the territory will not be deeced before three months from this date. The quality has been better than usual. with the exception of the color. which has been affected by re- cent drOuths on the desert in the north.
 Eastern markets at present are sup oiled with an abundance of wool, ne ceSSitating consignment of the local wool to commission men. The pro 1ucers, however, have been advanced very nearly the price their wool would command, the commissioners reserv- ng only a percentage to insure them against drawbacks.
 The Arizona sheep which were eX- posed to the storm which occurred in he Camp Verde district the first week in December, are fattening better than could be expected and are prepared to meet any hardships encountered on their return trip. The total loss Has not exceeded 5 per cent, which amount das been more than Over-balanced by he advantages of early lambing, not enjoyed in the northern parts of the territory. In this manner the sheep men have been enabled to compete with the eastern grain fed stock and have marketed earlier than the grass led stock which follows.
