AGRICULTURAL LIFE
IN BELT PARK.
Prominent Citizen Visits the Ranch Country and Takes
Notes the Prosperity Which Seems to be Camping in
the Vicinity of Every Settler.

This paper has always spoken in
praise of the possibilities offered to
settlers in Belt Park, and many read
ers have regarded the paper as too
sanguine upon the ranch question.
it is with unfeigned pleasure that we
now presest the views of most re-
spected citizen who was recently an
eye witness to the march of enter
prise in natures great garden spot
The writer says:
"Editor HERALD: A tri p to Mrs.
Joyce's ranch on Tillinghast, and
what your correspondent saw in the
famous Belt Park farming district
will doubtless be of interest to many
of your readers. Back in 1891, 2, 3
and 4, when you were pointing out
the vast possibilities of farming and
stockraising in this district, there
were many doubling Thomases. The
HERALD will therefore be pleased to
note actual proof of the soundness Of
its Judgment in that regard, and the
prosperity of It's friends who were
encouraged in the early days by its
wholesome suggestions.
''It has now been two years since
the writer visited Belt Park, and in
that time a most marked improve
ment is noticeable, Leaving Nei
hart last Sunday morning for days
outing with the family, we wended
our way along Harley creek road.
The first farm we reach is that of j..
H. Coe. This place is paying annu
ally on basis of $4,000 valuation.
Here is man who settled in the
Park seven years ago, with nothing
but two willing hands and pluck,
now the owner Of fine homestead.
Andrew Lindred, his neighbor, has
also an excellent ranch which pays
about the same as Mr.. Goes. |. H.
Lunsford is new settler of only
four months, yet his improvements
are worth between $500 and 81 900.
He is laying the foundation of
good home and competence.
"West Toliver's ranch is next
seen, nesting close at the base Of
the mountain. From appearances,
this farm will net, over living ex
penses 81 900 annually to the lucky
owner. The Homer Thomas ranch,
next passed, shows steady improve
.ment in buildings and fences, which
denotes careful management and
that the owner is here to stay. Mr..
Thomas raises everything on his
ranch, and his crops are in flourish
ing condition. The Putnam and Ly-
cett ranches are finely located and
will produce in hay alone this sea-
son at least 5000.
passing on, we near George An
derson's place, and from here one
beholds fine view of "The Will

also the farm of Charles Chiffon.

Tunnel on the Mann Lode.

Jas G. Wells is developing the
Mann lode by means of a tunnel on
the main vein. The tunnel, lately
started is low enough down to at
tain a depth of 200 feet when it
passes under the old shaft. Lots of
good ore has been taken out of this
shaft, and there can be no question
as to the result of work on the line
mapped out by Mr. Wells.

England Has Over Two Hundred Thousand

England Has Over Two Hundred Thousand
Men in Africa or Afioat.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-Mr. Wyndham's
remarkable declaration i'll the house of
commons that in a fortnight Great
Britain would have $780, 600 regulars,
1000 Canadians and Australians and
$4,000 South African colonials in South
Africa, is received with wonderment.
OF this total Of 213, 1000 troops and 1872
guns all are there now with the excep.
ton OF $4,000 afoat. Beyond compari-
son this is the largest force Great Brit
ain has ever put in the field. At the
end OF the Crimean war she had scraped
together about $4,000 men. Wellington
at Waterloo had about $4,000.
Mr.. Wyndham's speech was the
strongest defense the government has
yet put forward as to what has been
done and is being done. The general
opinion Of the morning papers is that
his figures
Will AstOnish the Country.
Roughly speaking 5000 only are at the
front, 10000 Others have been lost and
10000 are shut up in Ladysmith. There
are nearly 1000 OO troops who have not
yet been in action, besides those at sea.
Why so many have not been engaged is
due to lack of land transports to convey
the supplies. 1t seems that the force of
these masses must destroy the equilib-
rum which holds the British forces
stationary wherever they are in contact
with the Boer army. Lack of trans.
portation and organization will not ex-
plain adequately why, when generals at
the front need reinforcements, they only
get them i'll very small numbers.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-2:37 p. m.-There is
no official news from General Butler
headquarters and the only information
which has reached London in any way
supporting the reports that he has re-
crossed the Tugela river is found in the
Associated Press dispatch announcing
Lord Dundonald's reconnaissance which
is taken to indicate a prelude to renewed
activity. AS the dispatch is three days
old and as Lord Dundonald found no
difficulty in crossing the river, it is not
impossible that General Butler may
have moved in the interim and public
anxiety is again concentrated on the
Upper Tugela.
Dispatches from elsewhere III South
Africa merely tell of desultory shell
firing and the movements of patrols,

added, the government has promised to

1t is also said that the volunteers will
