Probably he is In no hurry to end a
situation which is daily bringing small
parties of Beers in a vain endeavor to
reinforce Gen. Cronje. These he can
deal with in detail.
Lord Roberts has already captured
over 800 Beers and at this rate he will
soon have quite a respectable array of
prisoners To hold as hostages for the
1000 British already in Pretoria.
zen. cronjc's refusal to accept the
offer OF Lord Roberts regarding the
women and children indicates either
thar the position is less desperate than
has been supposed or that he has been
able to dig an absolutely safe place for
them.
Everything goes to show that Gen.
Buffers advance is most stubbornly
contested and most cautiously carried

There is wise legislative provision
upon the statute books of Colorado
which should be put into effect in
every state where mining is in any
sense an important industry. The law
in this state requires that anyone mill
ing, sampling, concentrating, reducing,
shipping or purchasing ore must keep
a record Of the shipment and all re-
lated data. Thus "A check is put upon
the possibility of the practice of dis
honesty with the shipping aud treating
of ore. As is known by everyone con.
nected with any mining camp in this
state. there are hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of ore stolen annually
from the bins of the mines which is
shipped away on the quiet and the re-
turns put down into dishonest pockets

twenty-seven tons, was shipped to

twenty.seven tons netted 460s, certain

aud richness of the ore. The most ex-
pert miners, who have seen the prop

the best and biggest thing In the coun-
try, while such authorities as Professor
II. Van F. Furman of Denver, and Ar
thur w. Warwick, member of the
American Institute of Mining Engin-

the protection which a dozen legisla
lures may provide. In Cripple Creek
as in every other camp, the thief who
steals dozen rich sacks of ore is not
so foolhardy as to take it to any OF
the leading smelters or mills direct,
as the law above referred to would
mean instant detection. The ore there
fore is usually sent TO some plant out
side the state, or, more commonly, l.
taken to some joint in the district
which is run under the name of an
.assay mill" Here the ore is assayed
and sampled, and by an ingenious
scheme Is directed to some mill or
smelter and the name of the original
thief is concealed. There is more or
less hazard connected with the dispos
ing of the ore; when the thief sets
about it he usually exercises double
the wit in accomplishing his dishon-
est end as would be required to obtain
the same compensation If his ingenn
ity was employed honestly. Once in a
great while the thief is caught, either
in the overt act of robbery or by de-
lection through the assay mill; but the
day will never come when laws so re-
strictive will be put into effect to rem
der it completely impossible to com

took all active part IN the stirring
scenes around Brownsville during
the Mexican war ia 1915, and In
Lieut., Chatfied's work on 1.-THE
Twin Cities of the Border" there
appears an interesting account of
his experiences. The same article
also relates the story of Cortina's
raid on Brownsville, in 1859, when
Mr.. Glaevecke was in the city.
In 1874 the deceased was made
clerk of the court of Cameron coun-
ty ard held the Office for seven-
teen years. He passes away at a
ripe old age. Three schildrsn sur
vive to mourn his loss; namely /:
Fernando Glsevecke, prominent
young ranchman of this county,
and hrs. Mary Browne and Miss
Josephine Glaevecke, both of whom
reside in Brownsville. They have
the sympathy of many friends in
their loss.
The funeral took place this at

family residence on Levee street,
being conducted according to the
rites OF the Catholic church. 1t
was largely attended by friends of

saw the Rosins two days after sail
