Africa, where, owing to the absence of
roads and bridges. they are more neces-
sary than in any settled country. All the

the drift, giving orders and counter-orders
and directions and adding in small

OF the preliminaries to the attack on
Spion kop. he says: Just before dusk the
officer commanding (the late General Wood
gate) was informed that he had been
selected to lead night attack on Spion
kop. He had never even seen the hill he
was to attack or heard its name, and no
correct maps were at hand. During the
few available minutes he made every effort
10 view the ground. But the time did not
allow and he had to grope his way back to
his own camp after dark So pitch black
was the night and so new was he to the
place that i'm that half mile ne lost himself
completely and had great difficulty in get
ting nome. But he was a brave man. he
had received his orders. and he allowed no
doubt OF success to cross his mind. To
those who knew the ground il presented
gloomy prospect and threatened a terrible
disaster, worse even than the one which
overwhelmed General Gatacre The cry
was always for more men. more men, till
the hill was so overcrowded that every bull
let and every shell produced destruction
At no time should more than two hundred
men at the outside have been allowed on

Probably a smaller number would have
sufhced. The remainder should have been
kept we'll hidden behind the slope. A
greater blunder could not have been made
by the most ignorant private in the army
but throughout this war we have never
realized that men cannot be crowded to-
gether without running every chance of sue

MOHAVE MINES
Big Strike in the Occident and a Sale
 at Chloride.

Allen F.. Ware, resident manager of the White Hills Mining Company, was in Kingman last week. He says that the strike of phenomenally rich silver gold ere below the 600 level of the Oc- cident mine is still holding out. The shaft will now be continued to the 1000 foot level and the interdmediate ground blocked out. The strike below the 600 means much for mining in hat section of the country. as it effectUalIy settles the question of the mine going down. The Occident, says the Mohave Miner, is one of the best of the White Hills veins. and has shown a regular dip. while the other veins have been more or less broken in the dip. With the sinking of a deep working shaft on the Occident the company will also sink another prosps cting shaft on their nest of claims north of the town of White Hills. All of these claims have been big surface producers. but with depth they became very much broken and the ore scattered through large bodies of Gansue It is believed by experienced mining men that there are some great

 John Barry. of Chloride. came over to Kingman last Monday to receive the first payment on the sale of the Mine sOi,a-COnnor mines. of which he was the owner. The amount of the first pay q the sum for which complete title passes is $30O.O0O. The two mines purchased from MT. Barry are really the great est pieces of mining property in Ariz- ona. Many men have become rich from she sale of the surface or5s and as yet the mines have been comparatively In- touched. MT. Loy. vino negotiated tie deal. i. expected to arrive in Kin2man next Monday. Already Work on the newly acquired mines has been insti- tuted under the direction of William Miller. MT. Lpy's experienced foreman. The road leading to the mine mas been repaired and about ton Of steel and other supplies calen t3 the mine pre- paratcry to starting work under ground. II is said that the company has also tak=n over the Merrimac mine 
 mill to dress up the ores and put them in marketable shape. Many other mines have gone into the deal. but the two Barry properties overshdiow all else in the transaction.
 On the Alexander mine, Union Basin, at a depth of fifty feet. James Dundon, has opened up q beautiful body of gold ore. Some time ago several young miners had d lease on the mine and run a level at fifty feet. They ran the drift along the foot wall. getting very littl- ore. A miner in the employ of MT. Dundon made the discovery of ore Cn the hanging wall and now all that re- mains is for the miners to take it down and sack i,. The oI- body shows at the bottom of the shaft, depth of eighty feet, and a drift will be run off on the ore at once. This ore runs from five to twelve ounces in gold.

4 DAZZLING sCLTANA IN PARIS

Paris-The Sultana of AIasina. wife of King Aguibou of the Soudan. is one of the latest visitors to the Paris fair, and Paris is very much interested in her. She is always so closely yelled that it is impossible for anyone to catch even a glimpse of her face. This has given rise to wondrous stories of her wondrous beauty, which is said to eclipse the far-famed loveliness of Cleopatra or the queen of Sheeba. Tha sultana's raiment is the most gorgeous apparel Paris has seen in many a long day and it is cnly equalled by that If King Aguibou. In fact. the entire suite from Masina is wonderfully arrayed.
