OPTIMISM In PHILIPPINES
End OF the War Thought to Be Neu
at Hand.

At t1au0.
Washington. Jan. 15.-Gen Mac
Arthur reports the surrender OF Del
gado. communicative of Iloilo
province. Panay. He also reports that
other important surrenders are expect
ed during the next few days. MacAr-
thurs cablegram to the war depart
ment follows:
"Delgado. con1mander-in-chief of
Iloilo province (Panay) surrendered on
the 18th to Brig. Gen. Hughes. with
four officers, twenty-one men and four
teen rifles. His command was much
scattered and other surrenders are ex-
pected during the next few days. This
is important and signifies the end of
organized resistance in Iloilo province,
Panay.,'
The dispatch gave much satisfaction
to the war department. altho the COM
mand surrendered by Delgado is not a
large one. 1t Is also noted by the Off
Gals that assurances were for the end
of Organized armed resistance" indi-
eating that considerable unorganized
marauding is still in progress.

rhe Carnlvsf Of Mountain and Plain.

From information from all sources IL
is estimated that at least one thousand
people went from the Black Hills on the
30th day of September, to take part in
the grand festival which occurred at
Denver on the 1st, End and 3rd of Octo-
Der. This is just as it should be, as it is
desirable that our people, especially of
the mining fraternity should meet and
become better acquainted. The mining
men OF the Hills haye much in common
with those Of Colorado, and il is but
natural that that community Of interest
should grow and the ties Of friendship
become more closely drawn as the years
roll by. They are our nearest neighbors.
They are engaged in the same industry,
and their wants, their hopes, their fears
for veal and woe are the same as ours.
They are older than We are and have
made greater advancement in methods
processes; and appliances fer extracting
the precious metals. and are possessed
of many tricks which we Of the Hills
need to learn. They have passed over
the same road which we haye been
compelled to travel, have encountered
the same obstacles which We have had
to encounter, and 1t has been fortunate
for us that they ifst met and overcome
many of them, and we have been able to
profit by their experience. The first
quartz mill which came into the Hills
came from Colorado, and in turn the
first successful pyritic matte smelter was
erected in Colorado by a Black Hills
man. The difference between those two
plants, tftly sxemplifies and marks the
advancement in mining methods which
have been brought about in quarter of
a century. When we look back the differ
ence is astounding. Can we look to see
as great an improvement in the future
rs in the past? Yes, and greater than
in the past. The genius OF all the
civilized nations Is focused on the study
metallurgy. Mining is being brought to
science, and win soon be reckoned with
the fine arts. The chemist is the magi-
clan Of the age, and our knowledge in
creases in an increased ratio. like snow
ball rolling down bill.

but the au cunt is not stated.
The Standby mill at Rockford has
closed down for ths winter, on account
of the necessary time tor repairs. The
work on the mine however will con-
tinue. The vein is yery large one and
a contract has been let to cross cut from
the tunnel to cut the vein.
The University shaft is down 80 feet
and the work is being pushed with
double shifts. 1t is calculated that this
shaft (Which is large yerticaD will
strike the incline at depth of about l20
feet from the surface. So far as this
vein has been sunk on the incline, 1t

much higher grade than is usual with

The matter OF the registration Of
voters this year is one which will re.
quire the attention of election officials,
says Pierre dispatch OF recent date.
The last legislature changed the election
laws to require registration Of voters
every year, by the provisions of section
l22 of the laws Of 1901. In this the legis-
lature amended the law, which only
required registration for every general
election. This will require registration
this year, as we'll as last year. One Of
the peculiarities Of legislation is shown
in this amendment, as the same legis-
latiye session passed two laws, in regard
to judicial elections and county commits
sioners, which will finally do away with
annual elections, but also passed the
amendment requiring registration every
year.
