clearing out the Tartar city, This
latter city contains the Tartar arsenal
and is the headquarters of the vicious
Tartar troops.
1t is said at the war department that
the reports Of continued fighting in Pc
kin indicates that the allied forces
found a staate of anarchy in the CITY,
with many disorderly people and no
method of controlling them. This espe-
cially would be the case if the reported
flight of the empress dowager and en-
peror is true. Consequently, it has been
necessary for the troops to restore or

profits eventually than is possible in
any other thing. 1t is as well, may
be, for the investor to take the state
ments of the owners with "a grain of
salt" and yet, if your impression is
so favorable that you determine to
invest, we don't know but that you
would better believe everything that
is told you, for in fact, the essenct
and foundation of success in any
undertaking necessltating investment
of capital, the whole foundation, is
this one thing-faith. No man may
hope to ''get in" on mine without
paying a good stiff price, for then be
is buying practically sure thing-but
many of the wealthiest men of this
country have made their money by
investing little cash in prospects.
Take a fairly good showing, and let
number of people jointly support
it by putting in little money at reg
ular periods, and then, if it be pos
sible ever, the mine is made, and
yields dividends, in a comparatively
short time, and with no great hard
ships imposed. The stocking of a
good prospect Is commendable. Only
in this way have the majority of the
mines of the world been made. A
person of limited means may by this
course go ahead and add much to the
worlds wealth; and often, too, other
poor men buy small blocks of his
stock, and when the prospect gets to
be producing mine they as we'll
handsomely profit. This in answer
to number of inquiries during the
past month, and embraces the facts
relative to going into prospects. 1t
Is wholly commendable to invest un-
der these circumstances when
one purchases cheap stock for the
sole purpose of profting by selling

Burgher Smit OF the Transvaal in the heat of

Had stood that day thro' the deadly fray to his

with only hope to guard the slope till the grim

And Burgher Smit. OF the Transvaal, had worked

He had held his own on his rock-ribbed throne
through the storm of steel and fire.
He had proved his heart a worthy part OF the
heart OF his trekking sire!
And Burgher Smit, OF the Transvall, felt hand
Of ice at his soul;
He saw, or he felt his native veldt. with its
ocean dip and roll
He looked thro' the night and saw the light
stream out from his ''landbouw" knoll
And there he saw his lite ones-he heard their
mothers call
AS best she can, like her own good man. she

Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching,
Cheer up comrades they will come;
And beneath the starry flag
We shall breathe the air again.
In the free land OF our own beloved homes.'
This was the song of patriotic faith
and exultation that was waited
through the Southern prison bars
and borne, as it were, ON the balmy
breezes Of the Sunny South back to
the rugged North Land, and answer
ing back came the thunder of that
marching column-the tramp of an
army such as the world had never
seen before-all American freemen
Fastening to the combat with other
American freemen, conflict of peers
with peers. Tramp hear the firm
impact of the feet of American sail
ors on the decks of the battleships
at Mobile, New Orleans and Hamp-
ton Roads. And so all through
those terrible days, until on that
April day in '65 at Appomatox, came
the white flag and peace, and the two
mighty armies, back to back, each
took the tramp north and south to-
ward home; back to farms, shops,
Offices and Preside. Again on Mem
orial Day we hear the tramp of the
survivors of the conflict, members of
the one sole order to which no re-
cruits are possible, passing with flag
and flowers to honor and decorate
the graves of comrades gone before, /
and to solemuly salute the dead.

THE EXPANSION WE WANT.

Another summer of lively activity on
Buffalo Hump is indicated by the rush of
prOspectors, miners and operators A
mining boom unlike lightning, does
sometimes strike twice in the same place,
and mining men are pointing to the Hump
as that place While the development of
the camp has, perhaps. not been wholly
sufficient to guarantee permanence of an
important character. the cumulative evil
dence Of paying ore in large quantities is
becoming greater every week. and the
substantial nature of recent investments
gives added confidence. The Hump has
been remarkable for the extent and rich
ness of its surface showings which have
been most exceptional, and the size of
the ore bodies assures profitable material,
for time at least, even at the compar-
atively small depth so far attained.
The most potent question for the own
ers of property on the Hump is that of
road. There is still IL miles between it
and the outside that is crossed only by a
pack trial. The declaration of several
holders of large properties that they
would put in heavy machinery this sum-
mer, there is no reason to doubt. Machin-
cry is necessary for the fair testing of
the value OF the camp, and as road is
necessary to get it in, without road
there can be no development of perma-
nent importance. Efforts are being made
to secure the cooperation OF the board
OF county commissioners Of Idaho county
in the immediate construction of the -
miles of wagon road still unfinished 1t is
probable that failing in this, the large
companies operating in the camp will
unite and subscribe sufficient to have the
road rushed through in the shortest posi-
BILE time. The size of the investments
made in the Hump makes it imperative,
in the interests of capital and of the dis
trict, that definite returns be secured in
the least possible time. Having secured
this road there seems nothing to impede
the progress of the camp. Men of fnan-
cial standing have shown their confidence
IN its future, and there has been nothing
that would indicate the possible futility
of their faith-Spokane Review.
The extenion of the p. & I. N.
north few miles and then the open
ing of the Little Salmon wagon road
would give Weiser an immense trade
with the Buffalo Hump and surround
ing districts. Trade originating at
Chicago or st. Louis and all inter
mediate Missouri river points ought
naturally to come this way The pol
icy for immediate development in
in this direction is not as yet fully
decided but we still have the pri-
vilege of hoping for the best.

News from the north is to the eff
feet that great numbers of miners
and prospectors are coming in. Thun-
der Mountain district is attracting
wide attention and parties are organ
lied In both Utah and Colorado, and
also on the coast, and the coming
