Mrs. Chamberlain Gives the South
African Hospital Commission
some Severe Thrusts.
London, Nov. THE South African
hospital commission heard the last
witness in London yesterday. Mrs.
Richard Chamberlain, sister-in-law to
MI. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary
Of state for the colonies, made the ses-
sion quite exciting. She added little
to her previous testimony, but hacked
the commissioners. Mrs Chamberlain
informed them that she was herself
more capable Of conducting hospitals
than medical officers, and told the
president, Justice Romer, that he act
ed more like counsel with a brief
from the army doctors than an in
quisitor.

ropean waters. The Kentucky will be
the first American battleship which
has ever been across the Atlantic.
When the Oregon and Iowa left New
York, one for an Asiatic and the other
for a Pacific station, they steamed
around Cape Horn. The orders given
to the Kentucky required her to go
through the suez canal. 1t has been
suggested hat the Kentucky might
drop into a Turkish port in the hope
that the moral effect would cause the
sultan to pay the indemnity which
this government has demanded at

WEST FISHER GOLD BELT.

James Harris, who was in the West
Fisher last week brings back some glow
ing accounts of the possibilities of that
district, says the Libby News. He says
there is no doubt that the West Fisher
will develop into one of the biggest pro-
ducers of the yellow metal in the history
of the state of Montana and that there
will be stamp mills grinding on the ores
for the next SO years ait least. The coun-
try is a large one in which these gold
lodges are found, the values seem to be
pretty thoroughly distributed throughout
and there is a great similarity in all the
ore from the several gulches, SO much
tina 1T is impossible for any one to tell
from which claim any piece of ore has
come.
Mr.. Harris brought back some samples
with him and he SAYS that all of the
quartz will pan colors. He also brought
out several specimens which he picked
up on a ledge owned by A. F. Boardn1an
In which the gold Ear be seen standing
several fee away from the rock. 1t Is
the coarsest gold which has been found
in any of the ore from there. It was
found on the surface n these pieces
broken off with a hammer. On this ledge
Mr.. Boardman a gone in to do his rep
resentation work. Free gold is SO COM
mon in much of the ore that it creates
no comment.
There is a large area of country
through which these lodges run and
nearly all of his has been taken up and
is now held by prospectors and on these
! claims more or less work is now being
done. It is probably the most active
| district at the present time around Libby

ing assessment work or prospecting
