REGRET AND DISAPPOINTMENT.
London. Dec. 1G-i.30 a. m-Thc
news oc General Buffers reverse was
received so late that morning news
paper comment to-day is confined TO
pcrfunciory Expressions OF extreme re-
Grct ana disanpointmcnt, and of the
necessity of calmncss and redoubled
efforts 10 retrieve the position. The
latest check is regarded as the most
seriouS event in Great Britnins mill
tary history since tho Indian mutiny.
The Standard says:
General Euier's dispatch is deplora-
bic reading 1t is the now familiar
story OF concealed Beers and of Brit
ish troops marching up bind!y almost
to the very muZzles of the enemy's
rifles. j cannot be doubted that the
moral effect Will be TO aggravate our
difficulties over the whole field OF
operations
The country has discovered with
annoyance and surprise that subduing
the Boor farmers is about the hardest
work we have entered upon since the
Indian mutiny. Their commentaries
have shown themselves able to give our
generals useful but expensive lessons in
modern tactics"
a PAINFUL SITUATION
"Since the days OF the Indian mutiny
the nation has not been confronted with
so painful and anxious a situation.
Plainly General Buffers advance is
paralyZcd for the moment as completely
as Lord NIethuens and General Gaia
cre's.'
The depression over the defeat OF
Great Britain's trusted and idolized
commander is all the greater as, dur
ing the last As hours there had been re-
ports of the relief of Ladysmith. Yes
terday the War Office allowed it to be
understood that the position of af-
fairs in Natal was entirely satisfactory.
The reaction is all the more pronounced
on this account.
The gloomy Information came TOO late
to reach the service clubs and only q
few journalists and straggiers were
waiting al the War Office. 1t has hard
ly been realized until now, even after
the experience OF the week, that Cen
eral Butler could fail

~ CHARIATABLE VIEW.
no independent reports OF the en-
gagement have yet been allowed ia
come through, but General Buffers own
dispatch tells the sad tale in sufficient
outline to show that the British have
been entrapped again by the astute
Beers. 1t was not anticipated that
General Butler would make a. front at

lating to the wholesale slaughter of
fish in streams. He is working on the

fish have been slaughtered with giant
powder, and persons now are attempt

powder and would shoot fish in spite
of Mr.. Bancroft, who declared he
would report anything of the kind to

waged war on violators or would-be
voiators of the game and fish laws
Several years ago he prevented the de-
struction of thousands of fish in the
ella river. A party of fishers had
killed a number with giant powder and
were making preparations to destroy
the balance of the fish in the river.
He posted himself on the ground and
when the party reappeared he ordered
them away from the river, threatening
to report them. On other occasions
he has prevented Indians from killing
deer and other game off their reser-
vations during seasons when the game
law was in force. Until his recent APP
pointment he had no more interest in
the protection of game and fish than
any other citizen in Arizona, except
that he is a pioneer of this territory
and has witnessed with discomfort
ment their rapid destruction. He came
to Phoenix in IA. when, as he said, he
could carry off 'all the lumber in town
in a wheelbarrow. His vocation has
been prospecting mostly, and with
few burrOs he has walked over most of
Arizona. In those times he says one
could leave camp almost any time and
bring back a deer for fresh meat. Now
he wanders days and weeks and never
sees large game. He has put two
things in view and after their ac-
ecmplishment he says he is willing TO
pass in his checks" In the course of
his prospecting he would like to run
across a good mine, but in his effort
for riches he will not lose sight Of the
necessity of preserving fish and game
from the ravages of giant powder.

LIFE IN THE FOUNTAINS
1t Adds Vigor and Enables One TO
Discover Lakes.

Ed Grindell returned yesterday from
a trip to the Sierra Ancha mountains,
leaving here last June He has spent
his time as a prcspector, working on
cattle ranges and in other mountain
pursuits which have not only added
literally to his weight but given him
so much vigor that he now discards
French meals in preference to a noun
tain mess of pork of beans
He had experiences which would not
only seem thrilling to an easterner, but
to a Hassayamper meeting with SINH
lar experiences. The thrilling part of
it was that he came within an ace of
losing his life on various occasions
while riding over precipitous trails. In
one instance he chung to small tree
on the side of a mountain and wit
messed his horse, which had borne him
in the saddle a mOment before, roll
hundreds Of feet down into a canyon,
its body mutilated before it reached
the bottom.
Mr. Grindell says there is such
boom in mining in the regions about
the upper Salt that he decided to en-
gage in the mining interests OF the
territory himself That is he started
out with prospecting outfit and To-
Gated a claim in the Cherry creek dis
trict. He found a small ledge of cop
per glance which runs fifty per cent
copper. He has done a small amount
Of assessment, and has more than or
binary reason to believe that he will
become a millionaire from the fact
hat he is new at the business Of min
ing, and it is the inexperienced who
more frequently strike it rich. He
would have followed up the vein,
thereby enrichfng himself suddenly.
but the character of the ground after he
had dug few feet was so hard that
he abandoned work in hope of some
day discovering a deposit OF dynamite
to be used in facilitating development
"A new lake was discovered by Mr..
Grindell near the head Of the Arizona
canal 1t was an ephermeral lake, and
Mr.. Grindell might have mistaken it
for a mirage, but he had substantial
evidence to the contrary. He had rid
den from Globe in a very faw days
and coming to a select spot on the
canal bank camped for the night The
next morning he was awakened early
by peals of thunder and a gentle rain,
a few drops of which got entangled in
