REPORTED BOER VICTORY
The Situation at Mafeking is at
this Time Considered
Critical.
BADEN POWELL ASSAILED.
At Least a Determined Attack was Made Nav
18th. and Chances are in Favor
OF the Beers.

The following dispatches leave the sit
uation of the English and Boer forces
still in doubt:
LORENZO MARQUEE, May I6.-Tele-
grams received here report heavy fight
ing at Mafeking. Pretoria reports Mafe-
king as fallen, and the Netherlands
railroad has issued statement that Col.
Baden-Powell has captured large force
of Beers.
A war bulletin posted at Pretoria May
IL announced that the Bri tish are ad-
vancing to relieve Mafeking
LONDON, May I6. The war Office has
received the following from Lord Rob
erts, dated kronstadt, May IS, p. m:
"Baden-Powell reports, May 7, all
going well. The fever is decreasing.
The garrison is cheerful and the food
will last until about June TO-"
London, May 1880 a. m.-"Food
will last until about June TO-" is the lat
est official word from Colonel Baden
Powell, the British commander at Mafek-
ing, sent to Lord Roberts, under date of
May 7. Five days later the Beers at
tempted to storm the town, and it is
possible that they succeeded, although
nothing is known of the attack or of its
results except through Pretoria sources,
which have no countenance here.
The British relief column is due there
now. Ten days ago General Snyman was
having difficulty in keeping the burghers
together owing to the approach of the
British, and when the last Associated
Press dispatch left Mafeking on May 7.
the Beers had killed on the previous day
one of the horse guards and had captured
several of Colonel Baden Powell's few re-
maiding horses.
Major f. J. Bailie has sent to the
Morning Post from Mafeking, under date
of May 7, this message: "This morning
the Beers attacked u.s. The result was
as usual. There is an aching void here.
Pass the loaf.''

A Suit for Trespass Has Been
Instituted Against the
Cutters.
SELECTED LANDS DENUDED.
Special Agent James Of the State Land De
partment Has Instituted Criminal Pros.
scution Against Tresspasers,

A warrant has been out for the arrest
of Dominick Cameron, of North Fork for
cutting timber on selected state land, for
railroad ties. The particular sections on
which trespass is alleged is in township
3S north range east, in this county.
There are other instances III Shoshone
county.
A special provision is made by statute
for criminal prosecutions in cases of
trespass upon timber lands.
The land, Log and Lumber Co. of
which Mr.. Cameron is manager had ex-
tensive contracts with the Clearwater
Cutoff Railroad Company. but became
involved by attachments by the govern
ment OIL technical grounds and the vari-
GUS complications threw the company S
business into the hands Of a receiver.
The active members of the company, with
the exceptions of Mr.. Cameron, are out
of the jurisdiction of the state courts. A
warrant is in the hands of the sheriff to-
day for Mr.. Cameron, sworn out by
Special State Agent Farris, of Boise.
Mr.. Farris has made personal examina-
ton Of the state selections, and he says
the trespass is unmstakeable. 1t is the
policy of the state land board to proceed
against all who maliciously cut timber
from state lands and it is hoped this case
will serve as a warning to others.

Permit System Makes Criminals

A. M. Dewey, special of the United
States labor commissioner says of the
Steunenberg permit system: "No good
citizen can afford to, or will, indorse the
destruction of property or the taking Of
human life as means to the settlement
of di>putes of any kind. But the state of
Idaho is forcing men every day to become
criminals by refusing them permission to
work i'll the mines of Shoshone county,
while men who are needed to perform
the labor are being imported from other
states.'

A Competent Authority.

l.. J. McAtee, on his way to the Hump
the second time this spring, was in the
city last night. He is a competent ore
man. Having given the ores of the whole
Clearwater district close attention during
the last year, he knows the resources OF
this region perhaps better than any other
man. He says the importance of our
district is now we'll established Our ore
deposits are very extensive and the grade
is high comparatively. The mineralized
belt is very extensive. There is no logi.
cal reason why the Clearwater district
should not become the mining center OF
the Northwest in a very short time.

w. A. Clark Senator.

The case of Senator Clark of Montana
has taken new turn. He resigned his
position and the resignation was ac-
cepted by acting Governor Spriggs, the
lieutenant governor of the state. Clark
was then appointed senator by the acting
governor i'll the absence of Governor
Smith. The belief is general that the
appointment is legal. This act at least
gives an interesting turn TO the celebrated
case. Governor Smith is a DAILY man
and a political enemy of Clark. Acting
Governor Spriggs is Clark man.

has awaited the influx of capital to yield
fortune of gold to its promoters. The
richest gravel of the gold days bordered
these deposits, and wherever water could
be applied TO the bars or the creek beds
he reached by individual effort the gold
was extracted. 1t was natural conse-
quence that much virgin ground was not
available under the old processes. 1t is
to clean out the old channel of Newsome
creek and work other ground more or
less inaccessible that Mr.. Harding has
organized company of Lewiston and
eastern capitalists.
The best informed placer miners be-
leve this placer mine will become a rich
proddcer under the management of Mr..
Harding and his company.

Is Either Unfair or FOrgetful.

The Spokesman Review, on several and
divers accasions, has republished articles
from the TELLER and gave credit to other
publications for the same. The same
editor Of that journal is either unfair or
very forgetful. The TELLER is not sell
fish nor jealous, but the fact that the
TELLER is quoted more than any other
paper in the Inland Empire, has inspired
too muck pride in our special articles to
see them credited to other papers with
out an occasional kick.

A Big P acer Mine.

c. II. Harding, who has been in the

proposition on Newsome creek, arrived
in the city Wednesday and departed this
morning for his mines. He has inter
ested eastern capitalists in the scheme of
a bedrock fume on Newsome creek, a
tunnel through mountain between
Newsome creek and Clearwater, and a
ditch onto high bar Oh Legget creek, a
tributary of Newsone creek

but over the whole central Idaho. The
Hump, he says, has now assumed the
place it deserves in the estimation of the
mining world. At the same time he be-
lieves several other camps in the Clear
water region are just as good fields for
investment as the immediate vicinity of
the Big Buffalo. Mr.. Young believes
there will be more activity during the
next few years in the Clearwater basin
than in any other section of the United
States of equal area.

The people of the Potlateh, interested
in the county bridges washed out in the
Kendrick food last winter, are kicking
over the tardy manneriu in which the work
is being done by the contractor. Work
has just commenced on one of the bridges
and nothing done ON the other two.
Teams wishing to cross at these points
must either ford the creek, which is ex-
tremely dangerous at this season of the
year, or go long ways out of their way.
Something should be done to hurry this
matter along if the contractor is not pro-
ceeding according to instructions from
the boards ofc 'mmssioners.

strengthen our relations. English and
American lawyers have many things in
common: their law comes from the same
source; the English decisions have been
given almost binding authority in our
courts and the lives ana labors of their
great judges and lawyers are as familiar
to us our own. The decisions Of Amari-
can judges have been received in English
courts with the highest respect, and in
many cases, most notably those Of Mr..
