sToRMING THE GREAT WALL.
Excellent Work Done by German
Column Under Col. Ledebur.


London, March 13.-The Pekin corre-
sDondent of the Morning Post, wiring Sat
urday and giving details of the storming
Of a gate of the great wall by Col. Lede-
bur's column, March g. says:
The Germans captured the Chung Shun
pass between the provinces of Chi Ii and
Shan 81. after seven hours fighting. This
result was brilliantly achieved by the Ba
Narian battalion which marched 125 miles
from Pao Ting Flu in four days, through
mountains and over difficult mule tracks
The Chinese held an apparently i'm
pregnable position on the great wall at
the highest part of the pass. They had
several THOUSAND troops and artillery of
all descriptions. The Germans attacked
them with 800 infantry and two Howitz-
ers The turning movement over an al
most impossible country occupied several
hours, and was completely successful. The
chinese fed into the province of Shan ST.
leaving at least hundred dead and four
Hotchkiss guns. The victory will have
an excellent moral effect as the Chinese
believed their fortified mountain belt i'm
penetrable"

cause of lack of fuel 10 days were
required to make the 65 mile trip. The
boat was delayed for 4S hours only
three miles from the landing but ef-
forts to reach it proved futile. Mean
while the Indian traders were in dire
straits. Their supply of groceries and

ROCK.
Assays Fail to Show Anything Of

SSSS0yS
Value.
Helena, Mont, Nov. 9.-Assays Of
the material taken from the lead dis
covered in the federal building site in
this city, shows that there is neither
gold, silver nor any ore carrying valu-
able metal in the supposed rich strike
of rock. The certificate of the assayer
making an analysis Of the rock was
filed today with B. H. Tatem, assayer
in charge of the United States assay
Office in Helena, who is custodian of
the site.
Assays Differ.
Two made their returns
today on the ore found yesterday
while excavating for the federal build
ing in this city. Assayer Emmett R.
Fish's return showed there was no
gold in the rock. He says the rock
is not quartz, but crystalized lime,
stained with iron.
The rock he assayed was taken from
| the ground two days ago.
Assayer w. G. Brown makes a diff
ferent return. His assay was from
rock taken out late yesterday. While
he would not give out the figures to-
night he says the assay shows values
something less than $50 and he says
it is as good a prospect as has been
uncovered in this vicinity in a long
time.
Assayer Fish says there might be
value in the rock at depths but he in
sists there is none now.
