appeared in Pretoria, after a flying
Journey to De Aar and Naauwpoort.
having passed In single week up and
down the entire line OF cmmunlca-
tions without sense Of insecurity
His message tends 10 minimize the Inn
portance Of the raids in Cape Colony
and to reveal the first objective point
OF the campaign.
Knox's troopers are described as
fghting with De Vets burghers at
Leeuwkop and preventing his return
southwark to the Orange river.
Some military writer's have been rash
ly asserting that De Wet would merely
be kept under observation and that
Knoxs troopers would be diverted TO
the defense OF Cape Colony. The pur-
suit OF the great raider has not slack
ened and he viii be followed until he
is caught. Lord Kitchener knows that
the capture OF De Wet is the important
result to be accomplished, since Dotha
and Delarey viii hold out as long as
their ally is moving across the veldt
and swooping down upon Isolated posts,
Knox has received rowing commits
sion to keep up the chase and wear
out IL he cannot corner and entrap the
fox.
The statement that General Colville
has been requested to resign his COM
mand OF an infantry brigade at Gibral-
tar Is attracting much attention. Col

to South Africa In command of the first

SALT LAKE. Dec. 2s.-In the 1flh
district court at NeppI. Utah. Judge
Higgins today decided the Grand Cen
t1l-Mammoth Apex suit In favor Of
the Grand Central Mining Company.
The Grand Central sued the Mammoth
for 100000 for ore extracted from
Grand Central ground and the Nam
moth iiled a cross complaint claiming
the apex OF the vein in the disputed ter
ritory and setting up a title thereon to
the ore.
The court holds that the vein which
is the apex in the mammoth claim
leaves the side line OF the claim at a
point which does not give the extra
lateral rights sought by the company.
