DE VETS RAID.
Descended Like the Assyrian on Sea t.
tered Squads of British.

London, Dec. 10. The Beers are
still in force in the extreme west oil
Cape Colony. They are there com
manded by Maritz, who recently at
tackled Tontellboschkep. The Beers
were driven off and Martiz was Sc
verely wounded.
A raid by General De Wet on the
northern outpost of General Kitch.
ener's army, dash in the night by
1000 Boer patriots, who surrounded
the fighting British scouts under
General Wilson and were prevented
from exterminating them only by
immediate aid sent from the main
forces, was reported to day from
South Africa.
The raid took place near Hebron,
in the Orange Free State.
Hebron is on the outskirts of the
district occupied by Kitchener's
forces, thirty miles northwest
from Kroonstadt, ninety miles south
west from Pretoria, on the railroad
from Kroonstadt to Pretoria.
The raid by De Wet with 2, 900 of
his men took the British scouts in
command of General Wilson by
surprise. They were scattered about
the country. Several squads were
caught by the Beers, isolated from
the Others, and destroyed or captured,
Those who took alarm and were
able to gather together in force were
surrounded, their retreat to the CITY
cut off, and their determination
seemed inevitable when relief force
from the south, under the command
of General Hamilton, broke through
the Boer lines, opened way to the
city and enabled the scouts to retreat
to their stronghold, much fewer in
number than when they went out.
The rescue by Colonel Hamilton
was q gallant one, effected by a night
march of thirty miles on tidings of
Colonel Wilson's fate received from
negro runner.
The Beers retired when the British
made their way to Hebron. The
forces there have been greatly
strengthened to resist similar raids
which are expected.

A GREAT DISTRICT.
Thunder Mountain is Full of Ore
and the Ore Full Of Gold.

Irwin Edwards of the Thunder
Mountain mining district of Idaho
was In the city few hours yesterday
between trains.
Mr.. Edwards has some claims in
the newly discovered district and is
quite enthusiastic over them. He is
now enroute to Grand Rapids, Mich.
to spend the holidays with relatives,
but will return to Thunder Mountain
as soon as it is possible for him to
get there without wading through
snow several feet deep.
In speaking of the district Mr..
Edwards said: "Thunder Mountain
Is without doubt one of the greatest
mineral centrals ever discovered in
the western part of this country
There is no telling how much ore the
district contains, but the develop
ment work done so far is sufficient
to demonstrate that its title to great
ness cannot be disputed. Just he
fore | left the country, and / made
my way out rather early in the sea-
son on account of prospective deep
SHOWS, strike of considerable
magnitude was made on the Glasgow
claim, which adjoins the Castle
group. The ore on the Glasgow as
says from 800 to $500 per ton in
gold. The vein at the point of in
tersection is about four feet wide
and lies between we'll defined walls.
Considerable of the ore would pay
a handsome profit even if shipped
out OF the country 1t shows free
gold in abundance.
"The showing of the district at
present warrants the belief that
next spring will see great rush OF
persons from the outside. 1t is q
difficult matter to keep men away
from place In which there is gold,
no matter " hat the hardships Of the
undertaking may be l have been
in several stampedes myself and
have fair knowledge of what they
are. The country there is very
rugged, but in good weather the trip
is not so bad as some | have taken.
| would not advise any one to attempt
to get into the district now, for even
if the feat should be accomplished
the one accomplishing it would
have to remain idle until after
the spring sun reduces the snow to
water. There is lots of country in
the district that has not been pros
pected, but if / were asked to make
guess l would say that it will be
pretty we'll covered Lefore the ex,

Winter Has Set in and Traffic Suspend

Statesman.
Winter, hoary and relentless, has
locked in the miners of the Thunder
Mountain district. A few, possibly
not more than half a dozen, may
come out soon, but traffic has been
suspended until spring and those
who come out before the valleys
blossom again will have to do so on
snowshoes and at great risk.
w. A. Anderson of Minneapolis is
authority for this statement. Mr..
Anderson went into the district to
make some investigations He will
leave for Minneapolis soon to report
to the people he represents. He ex-
poets to return in the spring.
Mr.. Anderson, in company with
George w. Bruce and an employe,
Charles Lillian aud Mr.. Lang left
Thunder Mountain on November 90
and they had very rough trip.
One night they were compelled to
sleep on the snow, and for "a hours
their animals were without forage
Mr.. Anderson came in on the stage
from Van Wyck, in Long Valley.
The others, with the exception of
Lang, who will 60 to Payette, will
arrive in Boise in course of time.
The men employed at the Dewey
mine are as comfortable as they could
expect in winter quarters in the heart
of the rugged, towering mountains.
The company has provisions enough
for all the men in its employ, but 1T
it is impossible for outsiders to buy.
There have been about SO men at
work for the company. it is the in
tention to keep about 33 men all
winter.
Superintendent Babbitt, says Mr..
Anderson, has made many improve
ments since his arrival that add I'M
measurably to the comfort of the
men.
"The cook is the only man who
has what you might call hard time
of it,, said Mr.. Anderson to Bulletin
reporter. "He has had to cook for
all the company's employees on an or
binary 4hole stove, a discouraging
undertaking in the light of the awfle
appetites of those miners. The com
pauy sent in large range, but it got
no farther than Bear Valley"
Had they sent it in by way of Warren
it would not now be buried in snow
bank, but would be assisting the cook in
his labors. ED. SIGNAL
Mr. Anderson says work was pro-
crossing nicely on the mill when he
left. 1t is expected it would be
ready for active operation some time
in January
The mail during the winter will be
carried on snowsohes to Thunder
Mountain from Warren. The miners
have made arrangements with Curley
Brewer to make the trip twice a
month with mail. They were to pay
him 50 a month each and the com.
pany is to make up the balance.
Mr.. Anderson states the opinion
entertained at the mine that it would
be impracticable for anyone to get
into Thunder Mountain with supplies.
in any degree of comfort, until June1.

IT is surprising that men Of more
than ordinary intelligence in the
business and professional world
will link anarchism and socialism
together as one and the same. An
archism is want of law, a state of
society where there IS no law or
government; where every individ-
ual is a government within himself;
if IS the reverse of law and order.
Socialism IS a theory of society
which advocates a more harmoni-
Gus, precise and orderly govern
ment, incluC ing more harmonious
arrangement OF the social relations
Of mankind than that which has ever
prevailed. One is destruction and
barbarIsm; the other an ideal gov
eminent too perfect for this world
to ever suppose that it will BE-
brot ght about so long as one atom
of selfishness exists in human ma
ture.

WHEN the great steel strike was
inaugurated the Press said that il
would prove a failure from the fact
that organized labor could not make
a successful fight against the big
steel corporation with its combined
wealth of millions. But one result
was to be expected and it came af-
ter the mills had been partially
closed for a few weeks. We hoped
that the strikers would win, but
from the start there was little pros
pect of their being successful, and
the signal failure is but another
lesson that teaches the fact that the
ballot is the only true and effective
remedy for existing evils, There
is not reform demanded by a ma
jority of the people but what they
can remedy through the ballot.
Strikes are failures.

The world has had its NapoleonS
and Grants in war; its Ciceros in or
atory; its great men i'll the arts and
sciences; heros have been born and
died; they are known in history
and their names are indelibly inn
pressed upon the mind OF the world.
President Mckinley, martyred by
the hand of an assassin who took
a life that he might deal blow to
the grandest republic the world has
ever known, will find a place in
history along with the great men
that have gone before. But in
their death. history does not tell us
of one whose passing away has at
tracted the attention of the world
TO greater extent, or caused more
universal sorrow wherever a civil
lied tongue is spoken, than has
the tragic death of our houored
president His public life for the
past fifteen years has made him 4
conspicuous American, and wheth-
er his policies be right or wrong,
in the estimation of the people he
honestly exercised the rights of an
American citizen 20 do that which
he believed to be right and for the
best interests of all His high
character and devotion to principles
in which he believed will leave
their impress upon the nation fol
years to come. Out of his death
will come a clearing of the atmos-
phere and healthy legislation thai
will curb the ambition OF anarchists
and others who would destroy thS
republic. II will call attention t.
the two extrems in our coSmopoii
tan population that are pulling
down the government = anarch
ism and the trusts. The on
must be rooted out and the grasp
ing greed of the other must b
curbed by proper legislation. Re
move these two evils-place til
government in the control of tn
great, conservative classes, VIII
constitute majority of the people
and there will be no more assassin
ations of presidents. The anarcl
lists must go, as Czolgosz has d.
monstrated that no government, L
matter how free, is to be spare
from Their murderous attack

THE Spokane Interstate fair is
not a success. 1t does not repre-
sent the resources, the possibilities
or the industries of this part Of the
country. The displays of fruits
and vegetables are insignificant and
leave the impression with strangers
that this country is not adapted to
the successful raising of these pro
ducts. The stock exhibit amounts
to what might be picked up on a
single farm III many localities of
the states of Washington and Ida
no. The races are equal to what
might be seen at the average coun-
try fair. The band concerts are en-
joyable and the Elks have furnish
ed some amusement to the people.
Taken as a whole the fair is a fiat
failure, except from a financial
point of view. The charges for
admission and other privileges
graciously furnished the public, at
so much furnish, ought to make
it financial success. People come
away from Spokane disappointed
and Disguised, and it is the univer-
sal opinion that the fair is the great
est failure Of the eight that have
been held. The management seems
to have sacrificed every other fea-
ture for the horse races and even
they became tiresome from the long
waits between races. Spokane has
lost her reputation by this conspic-
nous failure and it will be a long
time before she regains the prestige
she previously enjoyed,

THE action of Judge w. B. Hey
burn, who has asked the attorney
general of the United States for
authority TO begin proceedings in
the U. S. district court for the re
vocation of the naturalization pa
pers of Spokane anarchist, is the
proper move at the proper time.
The judge has set an example that
will go far toward Kidding this coun-
try of anarchists, if it is followed
up. A citizen of the United States
cannot be deported; but foreign
er's naturalization papers can be
revoked, he then becomes an alier
and subject to deportation. Good
idea; push it along.
