Blanket Of Onyx.

According to the statement of G.
A. Jones, Spokane prospector,
who has arrived in the city from
the Bitter Root district, the
country around Orofino certainly
contains variety OF minerals
He brought with him some samples
of onyx and magnesia which he
says he has recently uncovered
within three miles Of Orofno In
speaking OF the proposition, he
said;
II have. located a splendid ledge
of onyx that lies In blanket for

SOURCE or WEAKNESS,
kitchucr's Talents FOR Organization
Are Faulty.

NEW YORK. Nov, 3O.--Commcnting
upon the situation in South Africa,
the London correspondent OF the Tri-
hunc says
There is more philosophy than faith
in the current discussion of the war.
The monthly reviews contain COM
mrntnrirs from various pens and the
various papers have ceased to be Il
record of what is going on In South
Africa. Sir Charles Dixie draws an
analogy in the Fortnightly Review be
tween the British operations against
the Beers and the French campaign
lin Mexico, where guerrilla warfare
was suppressed by the abolition OF
transport and the equipment of mo-
bile columns of picked men. Military
men. while admitting the force Of the
parallel assert that the moral is arti-
hcial, since Lord Kitchener during the
last year has been attempting to carry
out the French tactics used In Mexico
but has been thwarted by the persist
ent hostility of wary foe armed with
Mauser rifles and bent upon firing out
their pursuers. Sir Charles Dllke's ar

MISSIONARIES UNEASY
FEAR EFFECT OF RANRSOM FOR
MISS STONE
Payment Oi the sum Demanded
Would Put all the Missionaries
in Jeopardy oi Abduction,

NEW YORK. Nov &o.-rhc Rev Or.
William /. Haven. secretary Of the
American Bible Society has just re-
turned from Constanunople, having
visited many ot the mission stations
In Turkey. He brings news Of the
feeling regarding the abduction of
Miss stone,
Il found the American mission work
crs much pcrtubed over the situation"
he said. though they were hopeful
that the affair would terminate in the
release Of Miss Stone and her COM
panion. All the missionaries met
were anxious that everything possible
should be done to secure the release
of the captives but many of them were
concerned about the payment Of the
ransom to the brigands and they felt
that its payment would put all the
missionaries in jeopardy of abduction.
1t is the current idea of CONSTANT
nople that the kidnapping OF Miss Stone
and her companion was inspired by
the Macedonian committee and that 1t
had political ENHANCEMENT as its uli-
mate object. The report which heard
when reached home that Miss Stone
was dead may very easily be true, for
the region in which she and her COM
pauion have been kept by the bri-
gands is one of extreme exposure. It
is not only most inaccessible but there
Is constant and severe cold, with al
most continuous storms and unless the
captives have been better cared for
than it would seem possible for them
10 be under the circumstances, it may
well be expected that they will perish,
if they have not already done So

RUSSIA AND ARMENIA

Turkey to Execute Desired
RefOrmerS in Armenia.

NEW YORK, Nov. So-A letter from
Or. Alexandra Ulare, on Russian mat
ters, is sent by the Paris correspondent
of the London Times and New York
Times.
DR.. Ulare declares that Russia con-
siders the Armenian question from a
different point of view than the west
ern powers. Ignoring the condition of
the Armenians in Europe and Asia
Minor, mention is always given to Ar
menia itself and the position of the
Armenian districts which give Russia
control of the Euphrates.
Russia interviewed asserts DR.. Ulare
to prevent France from compelling
Turkey to execute reforms in Armenia.
DR.. Ulare also says that Russia is
taking steps to make Russian sub
jects OF all the Armenian refugees in
the trans Caucasian districts, who
are estimated to number 10000. 1t is,
says DR.. Ulare of great use to Russia
to have that many more Russians in
trans-Caucassia, where there are for
ests to be reclaimed and immense
tracts OF land to be cultivated,
