KCUNDER.

The Rounder has been over to Cho-
teau to see if the political pot has started
to boil. They tell him he is too early IN
the scene, but he never the-less notices
two or three dignitaries whiting shay
ings to put under it as soon as it ready.
Smart as. the Rounder was in getting
over to head quarters early in the game,
he was not there first. When he asked
for job they told him that he came
from the wrong end OF the county, that
there was plenty good men down there.
He swore a solemn oath that he had been
warned out of Dupuyer, fired off the
reservation, kicked out Of Utopia, and
warned by letter not to stop in Shelby.
Then they smiled on him, and showed
him over the court house with it's COM
Portable chairs in nice, warm rooms. He
sat in them all, but could not tell which
he liked best. The officials were all
absent when he made his visit, but the
county treasurer, and the latter laughed,
and said he did not care rap.

bit bigger than some OF it's citizens think

are the people as sociable. There is too
much time taken up with politics, but

and will doubtless make success here.

CAPE NOME STAMPEDE.
Fifteen Thousand Men Will Flock
To the Gold Fields.

Minneapolis, MINI, Jan. 28.-A spe-
cial to the Times from Tacoma, Wash,
says: {Es
Estimates made by The local shipping
men show that about 1900 men are in
tending to reach Cape Nome by the first
steamer from Puget Sound and Dawson.
Two-t thirds of this number will go from
Tacoma, Seattle, San Francisco, and the
balance will go down the river from
Dawson.
The first arrivals will secure the best
part of the beach, which will be in great
demand because beach claims may be
worked without fumes or machinery.
According to the latest advices, more
than half of Dawson's population will
head for Cape Nome as. fast as the Yuk-
on steamers, wintering on the upper
river, can follow the outgoing ice down
stream. Dawson miners have great hopes
of reaching there first, and to accomplish
this are even prepared to leave the
steamers below Nulato and make port
age of 200 miles across the Tundra.
Nearly 80 steamers, each carrying
from 30 to 100 passengers, are now
scheduled to start from coast points be
tween May l and June l.
Severe storms still blockade the
White Pass railroad. No trains have
reached Skaguay from Bennett in two
weeks. Returning Klondikers are ex
periencing terrible winds in crossing the
summit afoot. Several have been badl,

LEYDs IlIONIZED
The Boer Representative Is Ac-
corded Favors i'm Berlin

London, Jan. 28.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
t'Dr. Leyds is social lion here. He is
being received with distinction only ac-
corded to most favored representatives.
/ learn on excellent authority that he is
inducing Germany to mediate on a
basis of the guarantee of independence
of the Boer republics, which will be
granted some minor territorial conces-
sions, but not port, this matter to be
left for future negotiations with certain
power having colonies ia South Africa.
DR.. Leyds is offering Germany CONNER
cial, and mining, as we'll as other induce
ments. If he fails he will try Washing
ton through ex-Consul Marcum and
Montagu White, and st. Petersberg
through an envoy to Russia. 1t is not
likely he will obtain audience with EN-
perior William. During his reception
by Count Won Buelow no political mat
ters were mentioned"

The British Loss.

Gen. Buffers operation has cost 912
men, SO far as the official report shows,
within ten days. Applying to the 206
sSpionkop casualties reported today the
rule of average proportion the losses OF
officers indicate that there are at least
500 casualties yet to come. The total
casualties of the war complied from Off
cial reports are 9,522, nearly division.
OF these 2,4S6 are killed, 4.811 wounded
and 2,225 are prisoners. The aggregate
British imperial troops in South Africa
number 10000, Natalians, 7,158, and
Cape Colonials. 2l,000.
Twenty thousand, two hundred and
twenty-five men and 155 guns are at sea.
Eleven thousand infantry and nine
thousand cavalry, including five thous-
aid yeoman, are practically ready to en-
bark. Therefore, the government, with
out doing more, can place at the disposal
of Lord Roberts forty thousand addition
al men and 155 guns. The further pur-
poses of the war Office officials are sup
posed to embrace somewhere in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 more men. AS
the indication is that volunteers win be
rather scarce, the war Office will issue ar
order for those reservists who we're found
unfit at the previous mobilization exam
nations, to report for. further examina
tion. Applicants for cavalry service are
still freely Offering as yeomanry.

are Colonel Biootiald, Second Lancashire

ON THE CEDED STRIP.
A. M. Esler Will Erect q Saw nEiii
Near His Mines.

A. M. Eslef Wili Erect a Saw HEiii
Near His Mines.
A. NJ. Esler, who has leased a number
of claims on the ceded strip of the Black
feet reservation, has made application to
the government for permission to erect
a saw mill in the vicinity of the mines
and to cut timber for mining purposes.
The strip is in forest reserve, but as
Mr.. Esler intends to cut only such timber
as he must use in the mines, the desired
permission will doubtless be granted.
Development of the claims which Mr..
Esler is working is progressing very rap
idly, and the ore runs phenomenally
high in copper.
On the Cracker claim. the tunnel has
been driven 515 feet. and the last 80 feet
is in ore all the way. No cross cut has
yet been made, hence the full width of
the vein is not known, but it is sufficient
to justify much more development.
The 50-ton concentrator will be erected
in the spr ng, and from that time for
ward the activity in the district will be
great Access to the mines is now com
paratively easy. There has been little
snow in that section, and there is now a
good road to the mines.
MF. Esler is doing by far the greatest
work in that section, but others are not
idle. They are developing steadily, and
some OF the claims are reported to be
making an excellent showing with
depth.-Tribune.

TO FIGHT THE BRITISH.
A Number OfFrenchmen Allowed
To Proceed to Pretoria

London, Jan. 29.-The correspondent
of the Times at Lourenzo Marques, tele-
graphing Thursday, Jan. 25, says: Over
thirty Frenchmen who arrived here by
the French steamer Glrendo and were
prohibited from proceeding to the Trans
vaal appealed,to the French consul, who
protested that they held passports by
the Transvaal consul and VINO declared
that he would hold the Portuguese gov
ernment liable in damages for a breach
of international law in the event of con-
tinued refusual to allow them to go for
ward. AS the Portuguese governor gen
eral had previously signed the passports
he was compelled to admit the validity
of the French consuPs contention. The
result was that the Frenchmen were al
lowed to proceed. Eighty more foreig-
ners are expected by German steamer
next week."

Tugela river, with the evident intention
of reaching Ladysmith by another route.
A special from Frere Camp, dated
Friday, Jan. 26, 9:10 p. IA. says:
"Have Just returned here, having left
General Buffers force i'm new position
south of the Tugela to which they re-
tired in consequence of the reverse at
Spion kop.
Fighting both before and after the
occupation of the mountain was of des-
perate character" Spion kop is pre-
cipitous mountain overtopping the whole
line of kopjes along the upper Tugela.
On the east side the mountain faces
Mount Alice and Potgieter's drift, stand
ing at right angles to the Boer central
position, and the Lyttletons advanced
the position. The southern point de-
ecends in abrupt steps to the lower line
of kopies On the western side, oppo-
site the right outposts of Warren's force,
it is inaccessibly steep until point
where the nek joins kop to the main
range. Then there is gentle slope
which allows easy access to the summit.
| The mex was strongly held by the Beers,
who also occupied the heavy spur paral-
! lei with the kopje where the enemy was
concealed in no fewer than 80 rife pits,
and was thus enabled to bring to bear
upon our men damaging cross fire.
1.-The only possible point for British
attack was the southern side, with vir
tually sheer precipices on the left and
right. A narrow foot path admitting
them in single file to the summit, opens
into perfectly fat table land, probably
of 300 square yards area, upon which the
Beers had hastily commenced to make a
/ transverse trench. Our men were able
to occupy the rther end of this table
land where the ridge descended to an
other fiat, which was again succeeded
by round, stony eminence held by the
Beers in great strength.
THE ridge held by our men was faced
by humber of strong little kopies at al
angles, whence the Beers sent concen
trated fire from their rites supported b,
Maxim Norde nfeldts and big long rang
guns. What with rifles, machine guns
and the big guns, the summit was con
verted into perfect hell. Shells ex
ploded continually in our ranks and tn
rifle fire from an absolutely unseen enc
my was perfectly appalling. Reinforce
ments were hurried US by General War
ren, but they hadnto cross a stretch O
fat ground which was literally torn u
by the flying lead of the enemy. TIN
unfinished trench on the summit CAV
very questionable shelter, as the enemy
machine guns were SO trained up on u
that often sixteen shells fell in tn
, trench in single minute Mortal me-
could not permanently hold such a posi-
ton. Our gallant fellows held tenacious
ly for "a hours and then, taking advant
: age OF dark night, abandoned it to tn
enemy" -s.... f--..
