General Botha offered to surrender
on certain conditions and that nego-

probable that Mrs. Botha brought pro-
posals from her husband TO Lord
Kitchener" South Africans in Lon
don have contended for weeks that
Botha was only holding out on
point of honor and would abandon the
hopeless conflict whenever Dewet was
captured. Dewet's own plight could
hardly be worse. Only small por-

crossed the Orange river, and his own
passage with Steyn is now contra

MINING AN EXACT SCIENCE.
Modem Progress Has Made the Industry
legitimate Enterprise.

The mining industry Of today enjoys
an entirely different status from what IL
did twenty years ago. In the early his.
tory of mining in this western country,
when the industry was in its infancy,
when methods were crude, when but
little was known concerning mining
operations and less known about pro.
cesses for the reduction Of ores, many
failures were chronicled, the result be-
ing that the eastern investor, the capi.
talist and the business man began to
look upon mining as mere venture and
every mining proposition rs "wild-
cat" and they had good reason to look
upon mining in this light, as it was easy
then to impose upon those who were
prevailed upon To become interested in
any mining enterprise, and the "bilk"
and the confidence man were "abroad
in the land"
OF late years, however, n different
phase has been given TO the mining in
dustry and mining il now reduced to an
exact science and il looked upon at home
and In foreign countries as u strictly
legitimate proposition-a safe and profit
able investment or speculation. Many
are not aware Of the conditions which
have transformed the industry from a
disreputable and risky speculation into
u business venture that IL now perfectly
safe, legitimate and exceedingly profit
able. One Of the contributing factors is
ascribed to the fact that in these days u
mining proposition is submitted to an
examination by II mining expert before
passing into the hands Of the investor.
New inventions and modern machin.
cry have enabled the miner to operate
his properties to better advantage and ut
q less cost than was formerly the case,
while the discovery Of many new pro.
cesses for the treatment Of ores has en-
ibled the operator to handle ores ut a
profit, which, years ago, were practically |
'alueless. Ripe experience in mining
matters also has something to do with
he present gratifying condition Of min
ny affairs. the sum total Of all these nd.
'antages being that mining il now
ooked upon as perfectly legitimate and
'afe, M that the rawest "tenderfoot"
an safely engage in the business profit.
