San Francisco. March (SpeciaD.-Charles d.
Lane, the wealthy mine operator. has just re-
ceved word from Alaska that rich gold discov-
cries have been made on Jack Wade Creek, near
Eagle City, in American territory. The dirt from
the dump averages $13 to the pan. Near the
richest strikes were found some old, rusty mining
implements showing that many years ago the
Russians who explored the country. had emptied
the rich pockets on the creek but had ignored
the scattered field.
The creek was discovered two years ago last
May by Jameson and Day. who staked all the
good ground. Prospectors swarmed In. but work
has been prevented by injunctions taken out by
the original locators. On one claim was found
the biggest nugget ever discovered In the Klon-
dixie. Judge Morford. of Dawson. who has just
returned from Wade Creek. says the cleanup
next spring will be enormous. On the three
claims above the lower discovery the dirt aver

London. March 5, a. m.-The mystery at
taching to the movements of General French is
now cleared up by Post telegram stating
that he reconroitred a Boer position four miles
east Of Osfontein on Saturday. General French's
reconnaissance suggests an impending attack by
General Roberts who may adopt the same tao
tics as at PaarGeberg, in which event the Beers
run the risk of being surrounded. Another force
of Beers is being collected at Abrahams Kraal
which consists OF three kopjes, and lies about
thirty miles east Of Paardeberg, on the south
side Of the Modder. Their position seems to
have been chosen some time ago. as The
Times correspondent mentions that President
steyn visited the camp there last Tuesday and
adJured the burghers to remember Majuba and
relieve Cronje.
General Brabant has engaged and defeated
the Beers al Labuschagne's Mex. seven miles
northwest of Dordrecht. and his success will
probably have the effect of driving the in
vaders in the district across the border into
the Free State.

dispatched from Ladysmith last Thursday to
intercept the Boer convoy which was being
sent north after raising the siege. but the
attempt unsuccessful.
