GERS, and they say that there are no
indications of an early closing of the
campaign. Indeed, the preparations
are going on now greater than ever.
Day and night long trains of trucks
laden with everything, from mules
and forage to timed beef and biscuits,
pass up from Port Elizabeth and Cape
Town, the engines putting and painting
the whole night through. Over four
hundred cumbrous oxen wagons,
drawn by teams Of sixteen each, have
gone up through Cradock within the
past fortnight. The air is thick with
the dust they make, and hideous with
the cries Of the Kaffir drivers. On, on,
on they go it seems, as if they would
never cease. They come from Queens
town and the other original bases fol-
lowing in the wake Of the army of in
vasion. The drivers are paid "a los
per month, and the conductors Els,
while the wagons themselves are hired
at enormous prices from the farmers Of
the colony. 1t is a study in the power
Of money and brute force. But there
is one feature that seems to be some
what overlooked. Now if there was,
as alleged, great Dutch conspiracy to
drive the English into the sea now is
the main chance. The English lines of
communication with Port Elizabeth
and Cape Town, the real and essential
bases, are absolutely at the mercy of
the colony. If the railways were
taken up and the transports inter-
cepted, what would become of the
army Of invasion? 1t is gone up far
north into the Free State and away to-
wards the dangerous country Of the
Transvaal. Lord Roberts movements
give no time for transports that can
only follow weeks behind. The Dutch
papers are furious over Lord Sails

Deepest Mine in the World.

This, the deepest hole that has ever
been dug in the earth, is the shaft of
the Red Jacket copper mine, at Calu-
met, Mich, says the Boston Weekly
Bouquet. This hole, now nearing COM
pletion for seven years work, has
great scientific interest, because it tells
us about some things subterranean.
Observers ascending to great heights
in the compartment balloons have Sc
cured data Of Importance regarding
meteorological conditions, and under
ground observations made at the depth
of mile are not less valuable.
The Red Jacket shaft deserves to
rank as one of the wonders of the mod
ern world. 1t is brilliant bit of en-
cheering. The Eiffel Tower created
sensation because of it's prodigious
height, and yet this Calumet hole in
the ground could hold five Eiffel tow
ers, dropped in one after another.
1t had all along been thought that
such a depth at the bottom of the Red
Jacket shaft would have temperature
that would boil an egg. This was found
not to be the case, however. Careful
tests at the bottom have proved that
the normal temperature at mile be-
low" the earth is only 87.6 degrees
Fahrenheit, about fair August aver
age in New York. At depth of 1O5
feet the temperature was but 50 de-
grees.
Another remarkable fact is that the
water found at the bottom of the shaft
is most corrosive to the human body.
The workmen have been compelled to
wear heavy rubber boots, and rubber
coats, and masks to protect them
selves. Besides being the deepest hole
that has ever been dug, the Red Jacket
shaft is a most interesting under.
