French, with the cavalry, simply stay

nn,bed on to get in touch with the re-
firing enemy. A long BOer wagon
train is moving toward Bloemfontein,
followed presumably by a large force

Lord Roberts has wrought a genuine

ION Is that he has done enough for the
present. He win need to prepare for

All over England tonight there have
been evidences OF public Joy. In every
theatre and public meeting, around the

and iubilatIon over the news. The
newspapers are edItorially rejoicing,
only One Disturbing Factor.
Those who read the news closely
see only one disturbing factor in the
Cane situation. and that is the pressure
Of the Beers toward Lord Roberts line
of supply through De ARr which was
never more important than now. The
Beers under Commandants Delary and
Gobler, are making persistent effort

In the l6bbies OF the house last even

Ter had again crossed the Tugeia. A
special dispatch dated two days back,
and Just transmitted from chieveley,
says that an important movement was

Indications are found in the fact that
80 ambulance bearers have been tenn

that traction engines are arriving at
Durham from the front to be sent to
LORD Roberts.
More artillery Is being sent to Lord
Roberts from Cape Town.

Visit of Prominent Capitalists Which Au gurs Well For M ming Interests

Las; Sunday night Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, accompanied by L. E. Aubury. who is interested in mining properties at Picacho, arrived from Los Angeles and on Monday went up to that district, where they joined the senator's brother, S. L. Jones, S. W. Dorsey, H, M. Gorham, P. C. Dubois. Geo. w. Paymal and J. B. Landfield. Jr., who had arrived on the ground sev- eral days before
 This party of gentlemen, who have completed their investigations and re- turned to California. were here for the purpose of determining the advisabil- ltY ct investing a large amount of mondy in the immense low grade ore bodies of Picacho district, in which MT. Dorsey is extensively interested. Just what conclusion was reached cannot. or course, be stated with any particu- lar degree of accuracy, but if the fa- Vor2ble expressions of his impression made by Senator Jones is any in5fca- tfon. it is not improbable important developments are in store for Picacho.
 According to interested parties. who ought to be on the inside, the district will soon have a 1O0-stamp mill; and all the appurtenances which go to make up a camp of that magnitude.-Yuma Sun.
