\ special to the Reno Journal dated
London, Feb. 18th, says that with the oc-
cupation OF Kimberly by Gen. French's
forces, Gen. Cronje has been forced to
abandon the Boer position in the imme-
date vicinity. The strength added to
the British forces by French's successful
movement has made 1t necessary Ter the
Beers to evacuate in rather hasty man
ner. AS it is, French has dispatched a
considerable force to haraSS the retreat OF
the Beers, but it is not probable that the

and the British troops are thoroughly ex

at the time the principal evidence was
placed upon record II was upon the con-
siderauon Of these two points that the
matter came up before Justice Cole yes
terday FOR consideration
In the original proceedings the petition
ers for injunction alleged that the Stand
ard OIL Company had in course of con-
struction a certain new tank to be used
FOR the purpose Of storing oils and gas0-
line. They stated that they were property
owners and residents in the vicinity of the
plant OF the defendant. and that they con-
sideTed the oils and gasoline. which they
believed IL was intended would be stored
in the new tank reierrd TO, TO be DANGER

ious odors and yapors generated.
Justice Cole first disposed Of the question
OF The motion TO strike out certain testi-
mony offered to be introduced by the com
plainants He considered the matter at
length. reviewing the rules governing the
introduction Of evidence in similar cases
and under similar circumstances and con-
cluded that the testimony offered by the
complsinants should properly have been
offered al the time the direct evidence was
submitted He. therefore concluded that
It was proper that the testimony referred
to should be stricken out OF the record
In discussing the question of the viola
ton of the order Of the Supreme Court OF
the District. and also the mandate OF the
Court OF Appeals for the District. restrain
ing the defendant from using the certain
new oil tank. he stated an important point
TO consider WAS whether. in view of the
fact that the Standard Oil Company at the
time Of filing its appeal from the Judgment
of the lower court. entered into super
sedeas bond in thcs4np oIs20. 0Oe'could be
held for contempt 1fM bxld being TO Sc

sion OF Commissioner Hermann which Is
understood to mean that no land below Or

that anybody may wash gold out Of the

The original proceedings In the case were
filed in January 1897, and on the com
plant and answer being heard by Mr.. jus
tice Hagncr a temporary injunction was
granted prohibiting the comprny's agents
from using the oil tank referred TO for 5tor

people took an appeal to the Court OF APP

of Justice Hagner and on he matter be-

of the Supreme Court Of the District was

Since the affirmation OF the decision Of
the lower court granting the temporary

Company by the Court of Appeals IL is al

the court by using the tank referred to for
the purpose OF storing its oils and gasoline.
1t was not until last summer, in May, that

The indications are that there will be

bers will go there from Victoria and this

recent meeting of representatives OF the

sons desired to go to Cape Nome as soon
as possible.
"A number of these men have called at
the consulate exhibiting specimens of the
gold, saying they dug 1t on the beach, near
the waters edge; that men with only hand
shovels and the simplest and rudest of pans
cleared from $50 to 500 and even $500 per
