March in the Transvaal.

London, August s7.-The following
dispatch was sent today by Lord Roberts:
Belfast (Sunday,) Aug, e6th: Engaged
the enemy the greater part OF the day
over perimetre of nearly 80 miles.
Littleton's division and two brigades of
cavalry all under Butler operated south
west Of Dalmanutha. French with two
brigades of cavalry, moved northwest
to Belfast, driving the enemy to
Lekenvly on the Belfast-Lydenburg
road. As soon as French reached
Lekenvly, Pole Carew advanced from
Belfast in support. The enemy in con-
siderable strength opposed Buffers and
Pole -Carew's advance, and brought three
long toms and many other guns and
pompons (quick firing guns into action.
The firing, until dark was hot and per-
sistent. Butler hopes that the casual
ties will not exceed 40. PQle-Carew has
not yet reported. The Beers are making
a determined stand. They have large
number of guns, and the country is
difficult and we'll suited to their tactics
and less favorable to cavalry than any
we hitherto worked over.'
GENERAL OLIVIER CAPTURED.
London, August 27.-The war office
received the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts: The Beers have been
beaten back by Bruce Hamilton at Win
burg. General Olivier was captured.

4 WOUNDED ROBBER.
He Gives His Name as Fred Jenkins and Is
Lodged in Socorro Jail.

The robber who was wounded in the
Graham fight has given his name as
Fred Jenkins. He was lodged in the
Socorro jail Thursday. Jenkins has
been suffering considerably from his
wound, but cannot be induced to talk
on the subject of the holdup. He says
that the others were simply friends of
his and they asked him to hold their
horses while they went into the store.
Later news concerning the pursuit of
the outlaws Is furnished by Deputy
Sheriff Foster, who came upon the out
laws in such way as to force them to
abandon their horses and escape on
foot. Thus they are wandering about
the Mogollon mountains IN fuet. A.
communication from T. j. Clark, Sr.,
of Cliff, N. M, says they ate supper at
the mouth of the Mangus river and
were recognized by his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Reed, as being the Hunter boys of
the Sacramento mountains, where the
lady formerly resided.

GRANT COUNTY MINES.
Increased Activity in the STEMS Pass Dis
trict-Pinos Altos Mines.

The STEMS Pass district Is again
coming to the front, and most energet-
+ically. The Mineral Mountain Mining
Company, of Chicago, S. s. Winn, man
ager, Is actively reopening a group of
five claims three miles from the Pass.
The Mammoth the Jersey Lily and the
Manhattan are all on one vein running
east and west. A shaft on the Mum
moth, 1870 feet deep, shows a we'll ie-
We oped vein about feet wide, with
hood concentrating ore almost at the
top, and continuing on down to the bot
tom with improvement in quantity and
quality. The Copper Queen and the
Southwest are the other two claims ;f
this group. The Copper Queen, when
leing exported out Of the assessment
hole, was found to contain ore that as
sayed $50 per ton in gold, silver ard
copper Five miles south of the Pass
lies the Carbonate Reef group of Ave
claims. belonging to FL Paso parties.
They have about car load on the
dump which will run Is to s. ounces of
silver, 35 to 40 per cent lead and fir ,m
81 to SO in gold. Southwest of the Car
Donate Reef claims are two more claims
with about $50 feet of work One car
lead shipped gave returns of s ounces
of silver and 80 per cent lead; another
car, IS ounces silver and 40 per cent
lead. And southwest one and a quarter
miles is group of five more claims be-
longing to Colonel Henry and Robert
Williams. The Johnny Bull claim has
about 1000 feet Of development work on
it. The Bull has shipped in all about
twenty car loads. with smelter returns
of 10 ounces silver and per cent cop
per. The Virginia has $50 feet of work.
as high as 35 per cent copper. The base
Of the ore from these claims is iron and
lime, and they would make a smelter
proposition. The Sterling Price claim
has about 200 feet Of work, and is about
the same in value as the Bull and Vir-
ginia. There Is on the dump Of these
three claims 700 or 800 tons of good con-
centrating ore that could be worked at
a profit. Near these claims are the
Copper King and the Copper Queen. be-
longing to Robert Williams These are
sulphide ores, running as high as Is per
cent copper. with a good, large dump
awaiting concentrator. This mineral
zone runs south fifteen miles to Granite
Pass, and will open up some day into
great mining district. Most of these
claims were held in 1879 by Gen. Lew
Wallace. But "Ben-Hur" and 1.-THE Fair
God" made him rich enough, and he let
the claims go. Here is a district con-
venient and Of easy access, and 1t
should attract the attention Of capital.
Thomas Holman has full charge of
the Golden Giant Mining Company's
properties at Pinos Altos. New parties
have got an option on the Silver Cell
mine and groups adjoining at Pinos AL
| tos
From present indications there will
be great activity in Pinos Altos camp
this fall Many small prospects will be
opened up, and with the Pinos Altos
Gold Mining Company and the Golden
Giant Mining Company miners look for
a sure prosperous camp.

THE COLORADO LAW
1t Means a Hardship and Extra Ex-
pense to New Mexico Shippers
Of Sheep.
AN ADDITIONAL DIPPING
Afidavits Of Shippers That They Will Dip
Their Sheep Before Turning Them Out
on the Range Are No Longer
Deemed Sufficient.

The state veterinary sanitary board
of Colorado, through P. j. Towner, live
stock inspector, who has charge of New
Mexico shipments destined for Colorado
points, has issued an order that will
mean the expense of an additional dip
ping to the shippers. The order says:
Until further notice l will not issue
any special permits to sheep entering
the state of Colorado. Everything must
be absolutely clean before | will issue
bill OF health. In case sheep or lambs
are affected with scab | will notify the
owner that they will have to be dipped
twice according to government regua-
tion before | can issue bill of health"
1t has been customary heretofore to
obtain affidavit from the shipper that
he would dip before turning out on the
range. The order is based on law
that has been on the statute books for
two years but never has been enforced
according to its letter II enforced it
will work quite hardship on shippers,
as the law requires in cases where there
Is the least sign Of Scab that the sheep
must be dipped twice, ten days inter
vening between the first and second
dippings. This will cause heavy ex-
pense to shippers.
A case in point is shipment of II
cars of sheep now being held at Las
Vegas The sheep were shipped, after
dipping, from Magdalena, clearance
being obtained from the territorial
sheep inspector at that place. They
were stopped at Las Vegas on Thursday
of last week aud the shipper will be re-
quired to hold them the required ten
days and dip the second time before
they will be given clearance out of
the territory.

According to Denver Decision.

Gee Lun, the Chinese who has had
difficulty in remaining within the Unit
ed States, must leave unless he can get
a higher court than that over which
U. s. Judge Hallett of Denver presides
to declare that he may remain, for the
judge signed an order Saturday di-
recting the United States marshal to
send the man back to China via San
Francisco.
But thirty days for Gee Lun's attor-
ney to prepare bill of exceptions for
an appeal to the United States court Of
appeals was given. The bond, fixed at
81 900, was given. ....
The opinion of the court overrules the
order of the United States court in New
Mexico. There Gee Lun had lived in
1893, but he had failed to be registered
and photographed as the law Of 1892 re-
quired. The court made an order de-
claring that, Notwithstanding the fall
ure, Gee Lun was lawfully in the Unit
ed States at that time. Judge Hallett
decides that the court had no such
power. The extent Of its authority was
to order the collector of internal reve-
nue. for New Mexico to issue certifi-
cate Of registration to Gee Lun.

4 TRAIN ON FIRE.
1t Made Race into Albuquerque Saturday
Night,

A race against the spreading of fire
occurred Saturday night on the Santa
Fe-Pacific railroad. About five miles
south of Albuquerque Conductor Nc
Clurken. of extra freight No. 49, COM
ing north, discovered a box car con-
tanning merchandise on fire. The two
cars ahead were oil tank cars, while the
cars directly in the rear contained
big invoice of explosive material
The conductor signalled Engineer
Carroll, and one of the swiftest runs
ever made on the road by freight train
took place. When the train reached
the lower yards the box car was { seeth-
ing mass of flames, and the engineer
gave the whistle fire signals.
The big whistle at the shops then
sounded the fire alarm, which was ta-
ken up by the fire department. The
firemen succeeded in quenching the
flames, not, however, until the car was
burned to the trucks. The f1remen and
trainmen managed, after hard work. to
prevent the oil cars from catching fire.
