Republic.

Just now the camp is unusually dull.
The Quilp mine. after striking the west
ledge on the 10O-foot level, has dis
charged all but four miners that were
employed.
The Republic mill Is running stead
lily and almost to its full capacity SO
far as crushing Is concerned. But one
rooster has been running, and that one
not to its full capacity until yesterday,
when the second was started up.
The Princess Maud shows some very
nice ore in the compressor room which
Superintendent Hodge said came from
the bottom Of the winze. 1t contains
some gray silver sulphide. apparently
very rich, which runs In narrow
streaks and small spots through the
quartz Mr. Hodge said the Wine is
down 62 feet below the 20O-fOot level.
and the ore is continually increasing a
little in value.
In the Black Tail and San Poll mines
only two men In each OF them are re-
tanned. There appears but one reason
for reducing the working forces. name
ly: There is no way of disposing Of
the ore after 1t Is mined, and the ad-
vancement Of the camp now seems to
depend solely on milling and railroad
facilities. But if the reports of the
mining companies may be relied upon
there appears no reason why other COM
panies should not push development
work in the mines as the Mountain
Lion people are doing.
There are various opinions express
ed in Republic as to the cause of the
Mountain mill being closed down. One
is that the stock is being hammered
down before turning the control over
to the Canadian syndicate. Another
reason surmised Is from the low ex-
traction Of the metals reported at the
stockholders meeting IN September
that a new method of treatment will
have to be adopted, and possibly
roasting furnace will be added to the
mill equipment and the ore be roasted
before going to the cyanide tanks. A
carload of sheet zinc has been received
there for the Mountain Lion company.
The sheet zinc is reduced to shavings
for the precipitation of the precious
metals in the cyanide solution. The
receipt Of the zinc is regarded as sign
that the shutdown is only temporary,
no matter what the reason for suspen-
sion Of the mill operation may be.

szvrRA1 BURNED TO DEATH.

Poplar Blum, Mo-, Nv. ia fire,
sec4npAwied with Il terrible fatality, has
occurred here, resulting in the total de-

An unknown woman is also thought to
be fatally injured and about dozen more

in trying to escape from the building.
The fire originated in the rear of the
hotel, and few minutes later the
building, which was entirely of wood, was
a mass of flames. There were in the
neighhorhood of 45 guests in the build
ing, and the porter, the only person awake
IN the hotel. was unable to give the
alarm, the smoke and flames driving him
back.
The fire department was on hand early,
but was unable to render any assistance
To the inmates. The guests on the second
and third floors were caught like rats in
trap, the fire preventing their escape by
the stairs, and they leapcd from the vari.

BoER WAR STILL CONTINUES
Lord Salisbury Thinks Beers Will
Fight Longer.

London, Nov. l2.--South Africa threat
ems cnce more to absorb attention in Eng
land. Lord Salisbury, in his speech at the
inaugural banquet Of the lord mayor in
the guidhall held out little hope Of imme-
date pacifieation, and the return OF Lord
Roberts is still problematical, and is GER
tainly matter Of weeks, and perhaps
months. One Of those more seriously in
terested and best informed as to the flu
ture Of the belligerent regions when asked
by a representative Of the Associated Press
what was going to happen, replied: I'm
fortunately am not prophet"
The ministers have given up specializing
as to when peace will be thoroughly re-
stored, and to use Lord Salisbury's phrase
anent China they are waiting for the 5. u
aeon to develop itself"
Generals and regiments are returning,
but others are constantly leaving England
fireplace them. A recruiting depot is be-
ing established in London TO supply 1900
men for General Baden i'oweli's South Atri-
can police force, and detachments are con-
stantly going to join the regiments in the
Transvaal.
In regard to Lord Salisbury's open ref
esence- 10 the possibility Of Great Britain
being taken unawarcs by some foreign
power this state Of affairs in South At
rica does not breed confidence or content
ment. In his lordships defense of the
war office many people believe they saw
open threats to Lord Wolscley, and in the
sharp retort TO Wolseleys recent crit
cisms Lord Salisbury drew attention to
the enforced silence in which Lord Ians-
dowme 1.-THE late secretary OF state for
war; was obliged to stand criticism for
the faults Of the army officers. He warn
ell his hearers that il the criticism was
persisted in the time might come when
his silence would be broken and the onus
laid heavily and publicly upon the right
shoulders, though he deprecated having re-
course TO that.
A curious feature connected with the
war was Mrs. Richard Chambcrlain's Wig
orous attack on the army hospitals be-
fore the hospital commission last week.
The spectacle Of this somewhat eNtraor-
binary sister-in-law of the colonial secre-
tary sitting two hours before that grave
gentleman today and teaching man like
Justice Rohmer his business created no
little sensation, but for the woman who
took out to South Africa 500 hot water
bags and recognized the charities, and
who has the reputation Of being the only
| individual ever known to affect the judg-
mcnt OF the Chamberlain brothers, the
task was ooqaparatively light.

SHIP FOUNDEREO IN A GALE
ENTRANCE AT BAY OF FUNDY
timmtiOn-Heavy Gale Was Raging
NEARLY All an board Were Lost.

Halifax, n. S., Nov. ll.--AmOng the
hay Of Fundy the sidewheel steamer City
Of Monticello, was overwhelmed by the
mountainous seas only four miles from her
destination and engulfed with ~ Of her
passengers and crew. A heavy gale was
raging at the time and there was q ire
mendous sea. The Monticello carried a
full freight and fairly large passenger
list. Just before she fpundeIed an attempt
was made to reach the land in a small boat
in charge of the quart rma ter and contain
ing Third Officer Fleming, Stewardess
Kate Smith and three Passengers. This
boat was smashed by huge combcr, the
occupants being hurled high upon the
beach at Pembroke, nninjured. 1t is be-
licyed these are the only survivors.
The City Of Monticello was used in the
coastwise service between Halifax, Var
mouth and st. Johns. She was an iron
sidewheeler of about $500 tons gross and
was commanded by Captain Harding Of
Yarmouth, where most vi her crew belong.
She was formerly called HE City Of Nor
folk, and was built at Wilmington, Del,
IN 1866 She was valued at $35, 900. The
vessel had been rebuilt within the last ID
years, but was not regarded as safe in
