some information of the methods used In
the larger machine shops of America. He

himself with the machinfsGs im such a
way as TO give him a clear insight into the
social and financial condition OF the Am
erican artisan He said last night that
from intimate knowledge abroad and close
observation while in this country, he could
state that the American artisan WIS i'm
ine1SuIIbly superior to the British in gen.
erdl morals; that he was more temperate:
more steady i'll his general habits. and
lived much better. lin skill they are about
equal. but In some respects the British
mdchfrlist exceeds his American cousin.
Comparatively few of the British shop
hands are married. and they lack the
SGeIdytns influence which that state has

and home to England. He was surprised
THAT t1ere should he any sympathy eX-

most as MANY Americans as English in
the TranSvaai. and their interests are Just
as much at stake as those of the English.
Inc British are NOT going into Slis war

are merely asserting their natural rights
as cItsze7ls ana taxpayers. They have
been openly fnsulted and defied by the
Beers since the Majuha hill massacre. and

Majuba hill and the present state Of af-

The Odd Fellows have been having a
pow-w0w ait Evanston Wyo, the past
week and after adjournment a good sized
delegation drifted to this city and into
the KnutsfoTd, where they were found
virtues possessed BY the respective
theatrical troupes in town. They decided
on the s0bbing Heart of Chicago. and
thither they repaired One or two of
them got mixed up in the maze OF path
ways in the hotel lobby and nltst00R the
Billiard adjunct for the elevator; their eX-
cuse was that they would rather have
their spirits than their bodies elevated

Deep Creek country yesterday and was
contemplating the leaden skies and buck
cts CT water that were tuInbling out of
them frorn a window of the Cullen when
asked how things were going in the neigh

dry and lonesome as usual. he said, so
came in here to get good weuting down
10 keep off the dry rot. We are situated
about ninety miles from T0uvafn, the
neiarest railroad shipping pOinlt. and that
is why the district has remained undevel-
oped for such'a long period. 1t mas also
harrpered the prospecting, IN spite OF the
extraordinarily gCGd surface showing of
ore. Nearly all the precious metals are
to be found there. gold, SILVER. copper and
grade: we could net work low grade ores
with rrctft on account of the distance
from the :a.rTCad. 1t has been very dry
