BRIGHTER FOR Beers.
Few Surrender Past Week, and
Stock is Recaptured.

New York Aug. 2.-Lord Kitchener's
weekly summary while not so encourag-
ing for the British side as the previous
one. accounts for 427 Beers and a large
quantity of stock. says the London CORE
spondent of the Tribune. The report does
not contain evidence that the recent proc
lamation is exerting much influence since
the voluntary surrenders are below 100
and less than the number reported in the
recent summaries.
Lord Kitchener's mobile columns are
securing the country and doing their
work without reference to the menaces or
promises Of Mr.. Chamberlain proclama-
ton The captures of stock reported
from week to week are 50 large as to ex-
cite the suspicion that the horses and cat
tie have been taken only to be RECAP tured
BY the Beers Otherwise the agricultural
wealth OF the Dutch republics has never
been rated adequately. Military men ad-
nit that a considerable portion of the

railways. and that much of it has ap-
peared in the summaries of captured
property two or three times. The priS-
onerS, however. are not allowed to escape
and their number is steadily increasing.

William Heimrod returned Wednes.
day last from the Boundary Cone
country, where he has been examining
mining properties. He says that the
recent strike made by Ben Paddock is
wonder. In places along the ledge
the gold sticks out from the rock in
big nuggets, while the other parts of
the vein show we'll in fine gold. The
vein has been run over for years and
has been located many times by we'll
known prospectors, who failed to find
the right spot on it. Paddock has
taken out about FIVE hundred pounds
Of the ore that will run about one and
a-half dollars to the pound. Paddock
claims that he knows of other veins
that he can take equally as rich gold
ore from as from this one There is no
doubt that there are many very rich
gold bearing veins in the river range,
as we'll as placer deposits, from which
the AZtecs obtained their supply of
gold, which was used in the manu-
facture of jewels and tokens of value.
They also mined the turquoise of this
country and carried it to Mexico,
where it was made into all forms of
jewels. The Mohsves are aware of the
existence OF gold in that country, but
appear to have superstitious dread of
the mines being found by white men.
Some Of the more enlightened of the
tribe are willing to take the whites to
the claims, but are deferred by fear of
the vengeance of the older members of
the tribe. The mines in some cases
show the ancient work, but are prac.
tically untouched from the standpoint
Of twentieth century view.
