Charles Pierce, consul general of the
Orange Free State at New York, says:
"The war has cost Great Britain
$500, 900, 900 in gold-a sum twice great
er than the entire value of the repub-
lies IL sold to the highest bidder, and
over 100000 of her troops have been
rendered hors du combat. The war is
costing Great Britain 81, 600, 900 day. !"
The failure of the British arms to
open the Kim berley and johannesburg

monds and gold S264 ,o00,0 and haa

Cash Bond pemanded of N..l.y.

The military government of Cubs
will demand a cash bond from G. Il. w.
Neeley, the alleged defaulter. What
the amount will be has not yet been
stated, as Nseley's lawyer absolutely
refuses to deposit cash, fearing that IL
will be seized. The charges will ag-
gregate an embezzlement of over $780,
600, with a possibility of the amount
being materially increased. The Judge
of the court OF first instance IL inclined
to hold that Neelsy is guilty Of stealing
surchargsd stamps to the amount Of
$500, 900, and as the question OF bail at
present rests with him, the cash to Be
deposited would exceed that figure.

son Of Duluth, Mimi, against j. j. Hill
and the Great Northern to recover

involved are claimed to be worth $14,-
100000. They are held by Hill inter-

discovery by Pearson under a contract
by which Pearson was to have a share
in the profits.
Pearson, after twenty years of study,
evolved the fleodwood theory of the
formation of coal beds. He has tested
this theory all over the world, and
while keeping it secret has by it's use
discovered new coal areas, notably the
Stockett mines in Montana and also on

Hill interests secured thousands of
acres under his direction and are now
