ADVANCE OF BULLER.
Dispatch Received Indicates That
He Has Renewed His March
on Ladysmith.

London, Jan. 13.-The war office Fri
day morning received the following
dispatch from Gen. Butler, dated
| Springfield, Thursday, January IL, at
| $3.50 evening:
II occupied the south bank of the Tugela
river at Potgieter'S Drift this morning and
seized Pont. The river is in flood The
enemy is strongly entrenched about four
and half miles to the north"
London, Jan. 13.-Gen. Buffers IS
words announcing his forward move
ment of Thursday is interpreted as
meaning that he has passed around the
western end of the Boer lines at Colenso
and is now several miles behind them,
and within II miles of Gen. Whites out
posts at Ladysmith. The Beers, a few
days ago, had forces with guns at
Springfield, where Gen. Butler dates
his dispatch. These commands have
been obviously dislodged, either by
fighting or by maneuvers, the Beers re-
firing across the Tugela as Gen. Butler
advanced. From Gen. Buffers dispatch,
coupled with the fact that unofficial in
telligence from the seat of war has
virtually ceased since Monday, the de-
duction is drawn that important oper-
atlons are in progress, as he cannot
move far without going against the
Boer intrenchments.
An apparently well-informed CORE
spondent of the Morning Post says:
''The Boer strength, originally $4,000
men, is now heavily augmented by
Cape Colonists, and the enemy's fight
ing forces may be estimated fairly at
100000 men and 206 guns.
London, Jan. 13.-Apart from the
definite news that Gen. Butler has COM
menced a second attempt to cross the
Tugela river, the only official news Fri
day morning is the list of casualties
among the British officers in the fight at
Ladysmith Saturday, January 6, show
ing 13 killedan 81 wounded. Among the
latter was Lieut.. Col. William Henry
Dick-Cunyngham, V. c., commander of
the Second battalion of the Gordon High
landers since 1897, who has since sue
cumbed to his wounds. He was i'm
mensely popular everywhere and his
death will cause widespread sorrow.
The war office announces that the
British casualties at Ladysmith, Jan
uary 6, among the rank and file, were
1875 killed and 242 wounded.

Seattle, Wash.-A great many people
| rldlcule the stories that are told of the fab

ports OF output of gold are characterized as

In reply to yours of the 9th inst, 1 have
the honor to submit the following data
which l trust will be satisfactory. This Of
nee was opened on July 18th, 1898. Since
that date there have been S,203 separate in
dlvldual deposits of bullion, aggregating
eighteen million five hundred and five thou
sand dollars; one-third of which was re-
celved during the first fiscal year ended
June 30th, 1899; the balance since that time.
The comparative average values per ounce
OF Klondike and Cape Nome gold are as fol-
lows: S16.5O per ounce Klondike; $3.50 per
ounce Cape Nome.
In my judgment the output for 1900 will
easily double that of 1899. In my prepara-
lions for next season l am anticipating ct
least twenty millions for this office alone.

requirements, I am, Respectfully Yours,

Ed Tufts, of Los Angeles, was playing
golf with friend recently. When he drove
from the third teeing ground, he sliced the
ball badly and sent it away to one side. 1t
stopped in front of a grazing COW, and Tufts
came up just in time to see it disappear into
the bovine mouth: When his opponent had
made his stroke, Tufts untethered the COW,
and, with many sounding thwacks of his
club, drove the beast to the third hole.
There he made her disgorge the ball, and,
neatly holing it, announced that he had
made the hole in two strokes. His oppon-
ent calmly finished the hole in seven, and
claimed the hole. But | made it in two"
