BOERs ON THE MOVE.


The Johannesburg correspondent Of the
Daily Chronicle says fifty trucks filled
with armed Beers and twenty with horses
left for the border by way of Eldansfon-
tein. The plan of campaign drawn up at
Pretoria proposes to employ corps of
1900 men to defeat the slender force in
Rhodesia and to hand the territory over
to the natives. 1t is hoped that force
of 10000 burghers will be sufficient to
rush the Natal border, capture forts and
hold them to prevent the landing of Brit
ish reinforcements. The Beers rely upon
having supplies enough to last them for
year. They expect before year has
expired that Russia will intervene by
creating a diversion in some part of the
British dominions. All the burghers count
privately on receiving support from
Cape Colony.
STILL TALK PEACE.
BLOEMFONTEIN, Sept. 27.-The Volk-
sraad of the Orange Free States has
unanimously resolved to instruct the gov
errment to use all means to ensure peace
without violating the honor and indie
pe1ldcTice of the Free State and the Trans
wal. In a further resolution the Volks-
Rad declared its opinion that war would
be an error and declared that the Free
State would faithfully fulfil Its obltga-
tons to the Transvaal, in view OF the
existing political alliance.
At Liverpool it is asserted that the
White Star steamer Britannia and others
have been engaged as transports 10 carry
troops to South Africa.
A run is commencing on the banks In
the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.

Mining Stock Companies That Are the
Worst Kind of Fakes.

Every week there is some new min
ing company organized for the express
purpose of defrauding the innocent in
weston out of his hard earned money.
The daily papers have well paid write
ups, giving descriptions of fabulously
large bodies of high grade gold and sill
yer, lead and copper ore that assays
up into the hundreds. The stock is
sold for high prices and the board of
directors are as rule only figure
head. The promoters being wise
enough to pick out few of the lead
ing citizens of the community in which
they wish to place their stock, giving
them large blocks of stock for the use
of their names to act as directors in
their company and possibly the mines
are located in an out of the way place
with not a paying mine within so miles
of them, when as a matter of fact, If
they had any such large bodies of high
grade ore there would not be share
of stock offered on the open market at
any price
The Butte & Bingham Copper Mining
companys shares are cheap, and any
one buying at 5 cents per share is get
ting a snap. The management of this
company don't claim to have 20 or 30
| feet of $500 or $500 ore. They don't
| claim to have four or five feet Of ore
that will assay 500 or 5000 per ton; but
| they do claim to have a very good
|
| and gold ore. The Butte & Bingham
| Copper Mining company's properties are
situated in the old reliable mining dis
| trict of Bingham, Utah, and they are
| surrounded by large mines that have
produced from $500 to 100000, and
many of the mining shares of this dis
| trict are selling to-day at prices rang
| ing from 81 to s42 per share. This
company plays no favorites all have to

induced them to leave Missouri, and
that when they got there and saw what
the situation really was they refused
to work under the restrictions imposed
by the military. They were told to
work or get out and they got. The

were broke and were forced to accept
the conditions and work.

THE BEST PEACE CONFERENCE,

declares Emperor william, Is the In
crease of the Navies,
Berlin, Aug. 10.-According to the
Berliner Tageblatt Emperor William
received Congressman George Ed
mund Foss, of Illinois, and United
States Naval Attache Beehler on board
the imperial yacht Hohenzollern last
Wednesday at Kiel, granting them an
audience of three-quarters of An hour.
His majesty began the conversation
by expressing a belief that Admiral
Dewey had not used the words at
tributed to him, suggesting the possi-
bility of a war between the United
States and Germany. Mr.. Foss replied
that he had just come from Trieste,
where he had had long talks with Ad-
miral Dewey, who had shown no hos
tility toward Germany.
The emperor declared his conviction
that German-American relations would
always rebain friendly. Germans in
America, he said, would take good care
that no aggressive or hostile policy
should be pursued toward Germany.
He continued:
THE increase of the German fleet
involves no threat to any other power,
for the stronger nation is at sea the
more others will hesitate to begin hos
tilities. The increase of navies, there
fore, is in reality the best peace con-
ference"
