SURRENDERED.

A. G. Gilligsn, the alleged assassin OF
c. Beverly Turner, yesterday morning
surrendered in Surry county. He went
to the home of James Barham, two
miles from Surry Courthouse, at l
o'clock, and after a short conference,
was Barhsm's prisoner.
Gilligan was turned over to Sheriff
Edwards, who had him placed in the
county Jail. 1t was decided to have
the prisoner removed to the Petersburg
Jail for safe keeping, as there had been
talk Of lynchiDg in Isle of Wight and
Surry counties, where the prisons are
not particularly secure. The authori-
ties of the two counties agreed to the
plan and Gilligan was removed to Pc
tersburg later. Colonel Boykin, States
attorney for Isle of Wight, said last
night that Gilligan had authorized
States Attorney Clark, of Surry, to
waive examination.
Sunday afternoon Miss Isabel Turner,
daughter of the murdered man, and the
young woman whom Gilligsn loved. be-

The Situation in Natal.

London, Jan. l6.-The number and
variety of rumOrs concerning the posi-
ton OF the British and the Beers sloDg

that these reports are encouraged BY
the military in order to cloak the real
British plan of operations and mislead
Boer agents in Europe. 1t is asserted
that yesterday morning Warren was

concentrate for an attack on the Beers
extreme right. Nearly all the experts
and military authorities doubt il Butler
will attempt to attack the Beers on the
right, left and centre. 1t is pointed
out that to split the army in three parts
would be dangerous tactics, and permit
the Beers to engage the British piece
meal. Reports would indicate tina,
Butler is not yet ready for his attack to
relieve Ladysmith. However, the
silence maintained by Roberts and the
war office regarding operations in Ma

important operation at the Tugela is
pending. News Of a battle lie expected
hourly, though several days may elapse

ing ffatfte lily.
While the town has been unusually
quiet the past week, It Is learned from
what miners and prospectors who have
come In from both sides Of the valley that
the mountains are a scene Of constant
activity.
Elmer Cleaver visited the Present Need
this week and says that work IL going on
at that mine at a rapid rate. A 900 foot
tunnel has been started directly above the
arastra. and when the tunnel is driven that
far It will tap the main ledge. II Is con.
tract work and has been let to three prac.
teal miners.
Other substantial improvements are be.
ing made at the Present Need camp, such
as building bunk houses, sheds, eating
house, etc, that gives employment to
half dozen or more men. The lumber
for these Improvements is being hauled
from Mckee X Troxel's mill. d
Marsh Howell and I'd Mcintyre were
in town last Saturday and say that they
are taking out as rich rock tr)m the Cougar
group as ever was taken out Of any mine
in the Quartzburg district, and that il is
easy to abstract, only three shots being
used during the week.
All the other camps in the Quartzhurg
district are employing from two to six
men constantly, and each say that the ore
gets richer with depth.
The tunnel on the Oregon Wonder is
in over eighty feet, and new character
Of ore has been struck. Instead Of the
sandstone formation that was first encoun.

MILES OF COAL.
Wagon Load Brought Here
from John Day Valley.

Elmer Z. Cleaver passed through town
some days since on his way from Prairie
City to Baker City, with wagon load Of
coal, which he took from the surface Of
outcroppings on John Day river, six miles
below Prairie.
This Is no new discovery; its existence
has been known for twenty or more years.
No one has paid any attention TO 1t for
the simple reason that It was not needed
for fuel, timber being plentiful, and there
has seen no transportation facilities.
Now, however, that two or three rail.
roads are headed that way, these coal de.
posits will become very valuable.
Mr.. Cleaver says that the first outcrop.
pings occur where this wagon load was
secured, five or six miles below Prairie
City, on the John Day river banks.
From that point for a distance of about
thirty miles, the "blossom" can be found
almost anywhere In the valley. To Sc.
cure this lot, he put on rubber boots,
wadedlnto the stream and knocked off
the big obtruding chunks with a pick.
One piece which he had with him was as
large as two.foot cube
It Is found In sandstone 70, nation, In
layers five or six feet thick, tilted at an
angle Of about thirty.five degrees, with
sandstone between. The formation Is
said to be almost Identical with that Of
the great coal deposits at Rock Springs,
Wyoming.
The quality Of this surface coal Is, Of
course, not the best. The transformation
from vegetable to mineral matter Is not
vet complete. Samples now In THE
MINER Office show the grain Of the wood
very distinctly and tn one piece the bark
can he plainly distinguished. This, how.
ever, Is generally the case with surface
coal, the quality always improving with
depth. But even these half formed speci.
mems burn readily, give out much heat
and leave but little ash.
Some Of twas sent to Pendleton and
tested in blacksmith shop, with very
satisfactory results, reports the East Ore.
CONAN, Of that place. The coal has not yet
been chemically analysed.
