Being practically without commissariat. they
are compelled to live on the country, and take
possession of everything in sight. The country

lack of food supplies of any kind, and a conse-

have no medical attendance or medicines.
The Guajira Indians are becoming more in

shockingly mutilated over a score of Venezue-
lans who have fallen into their hands.
The advices from Maracaibo conclude with
saying that fighting there seems improbable.

London, Oct 13. l a. m.-The possibility OF

! burg, Vryburg and elsewhere is discussed by
| military men and officials with evident signs of
anxiety. Lotter of the most desperate
| leaders of the Boer forces recruited in the
Dutch districts of Cape Colony, and his capture
has been quickly followed by a military trial
and death. Other trials are in progress and
two farmers who have been twice in arms
against the British have pershed on the scar
fold. The real reason for the proclamation OF
martial law in Cape Colony is apparent
The authorities, after playing with treason for
two years. have decided to make deter
mined effort to stamp it out with merciess Sc
verify and have suspended the ordinary forms
of law as a necessary safeguard for the pre-
vention of a general uprising of Dutch sympa-
thizers. The question which is uppermost
in the minds of military experts is the probable
action of Botha, De Wet. De La Rey and other
Boer commanders Will they allow Lord Kitch-
ener to make a distinction between Beers and
Cape rebels and carry out the death penalty on
a large scale means of ntimidating Boer
sympathizers and suppressing the revolt,
VIII they retaliate whenever they capture Brit
ish soldiers, and skoot their prisoners instead OF
taking away their arms and releasing them?

war the most horrible of recent times. One Of

The Value OF Mines.

1t is never safe to condemn q mining
prospect without fair exploring and ex-
ploitation. And nothing but intelligent
development work will determine
whether or not the prospect can be made
into mine. The history Of every min
ing region proves this. Take the terri
tory Of Arizona. The great Congress
mine, the deepest in Arizona, was ac-
counted wildcat" at the depth of $50
feet; at the depth of 800 feet it was a
bonanza and held at 100000. The
Fortuan was worth 100000 at the depth
of $50 feet, and worth 100000 at a
depth of 600 feet. At a depth of 100
feet the King Of Arizona sold for $50, 900 ;
when 500 feet deep it was worth 81 ,000,.
000 The Crowned King mine was not
considered worth being got out of debt
when the workings were los feet deep ;
at depth f400 feet its value was$l 900,
600. The Pierce mine was sold for
$275, 900 when down 100 feet; since then
SO 900 0C0 was refused for it. These are
but a few in Arizona. Every other

The new tax Measure.

The laws passed by the last session of
the legislature are calculated to clean up
the delinquent taxes in the counties Of
the state. They make not little addi-
tional work from present incumbents Of
county treasures, but their SUCCESSORS
will not have so much difficulty, as de-
linquent real estate taxes will have been
resolved into judgments and personal
taxes will have been gathered in by the
sheriffs. The new laws provide that de-
linquent real estate taxes for 1899 and
all prior years shall be listed by the
treasurer and certified to the clerk Of
courts, who shall present it to the judge
of the circuit court. no shall cause judg-
ment to be entered for the tax delin-
quent. Delinquent personal taxes are
to be collected by the sheriff. The
treasurer is to make a list to be certified
to the sheriff, who is authorized to col
lect by levy and distress for not only
the taxes unpaid and delinquent. but
also oil additional costs, for mileage and
fees.
The new law becomes effective July /,
this year, and it will be seen that it be-
hooves property owners of the county
who are behind in their taxes to pay
them before that time.

W. A. Nelson has been having well
drilled this week at his house in the
northeastern part of town. The well is
twenty-five feet deep and contains 9l
feet of water. Three veins of water
were passed through, which supply
about eight gallons Of water per minute
After passing through seven feet OF earth
and gravel formation the drill entered a
tough formation of ledge, continuing in
this formation till sufficient depth was
attained to provide the needed supply
of water. The upper vein was struck at
the depth of about Is feet, and the lower
ones at about l6 feet Mr.. C. Y. Axes
did the work. The drill cuts about an
inch hole. Now is the time for the
residents who live in the parts of town
where water is hard to obtain to have
wells put in. Mr.. Axes can drill through
any kind Of formation and can 60 to
sufficient depth that will warrant an
abundant supply of nice, pure water.
Lack Of water has always been disad-
vantage under which Custer has labor
ed. That may now be entirely over
come as far as the supply for domestic
purposes is concerned. Mr.. Axes is pre-
pared to put down wells at once, but if
he does not get work here he will move
his outfit to Nebraska about May lst, and
work in the section of country where he
has been drilling wells for the past few
seasons.
