The first battle of the war was fought at Glencoe, Natal, October 20, 1899, when the Boers were defeated and their position captured by Gen. William Penn Symons, who paid for his victory with his own life, and the loss of some 43 men killed and 200 wounded. This was followed the following day with battle at Elaandslaagte in which Gen. French commanded the English troops and Gen. Rock the Boers. The Boers were defeated with loss of 100 killed and 300

 Orange Free State, crossed the undefended borders of English territory, prepared to strike quick and decisive blows if possible before England could prepare for the con- fict.
 The Boers were by no means unprepared for such conflict. The heavy revenue de- rived by the government for a number of years previously had been judiciously ex- pended for defense, and they had stored away at Pretoria guns that were far su- perior to anything that England could use against them for q considerable time after the opening of hostilities. Their army was composed almost wholly of volunteers, but they were volunteers who were well trained ln fighting methods of their own, methods of which England knew but little, and was not prepared to meet.
 The armed strength of England in South Africa was at that time scme 23,000 men of all branches, of whom some l3 900 comprised the force of Gen. Sir George White in Natal, and the others were scattered in small commands at different points in Cape Colony, the garrisons extending as far north as Mafeking which Col, afterward Gen., Baden Powel was defending with a force of l,200 men.
 Gen Petrus Jacobus Joubert, the hero of Majuba Hill and vice president of the South African republic, was selected as commander-in-chief of the allied armies of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, and at once took personal command of the troops that invaded Natal and shut Gen. White up in Ladysmith.

RULES EOR INDIANS.

The text of Commissioner Jones re-
cent circular to the Indian agents
would indicate that for the first time
in the history of many tribes, some
thing is to be done toward giving the
young Indians a chance to real actual
advantages from the white mans edu-
cation.
Indian students who return to the
tribal dress and customs are to be pun
ished by Withholding rations and en-
ployment. The wearing of citizens
clothing, instead of blankets and moe
c~asins, will be encouraged and every
effort made to induce the young Indian
to break away from tribal customs.
This is the first step toward remedy
ing a ridiculous feature of Indian "edu-
cation" and it is to be hoped that it
will accomplish immediate results.
One of the chief reasons for the back
wardness Of the Indians of the south.
west in taking up with the customs of
civilization Is the baneful influence ex-
ercised by the older tribesmen over the
young Indians. The graduate of an In.
dian school, just at the time when he
should be getting a start in the white
mans world, is thrust back on the res.
ervation and again takes up with the
ways of the lazy blanket Indians
who cling to tribal life. The result is
worse than a waste of education, fol-
the youth has all the white mans
| vices and none of his virtues.

WORLDS SUPPLY OF GOLD.

1t has been reckoned that in the de-
post of clay on which the city of
Philadelphia stands there is enough of
the metal to guild the fronts of all the
buildings in the place, says the Inter
national Monthly. Here the amount is
so small that it has no more prospec-
tive value than that contained in the
sea water. Thus, while it may be said
that wherever a person may be on the
surface of the earth, Or on the ocean,
there is likely to be enough gold with
in a mile of his feet to make him a mil
lionaire, the places where gold can
conceivably be won at a profit are rela-
lively few.
The most important increase that
arises. however, from the rapid i'm,
provement in the modes of applying
power to such work. The gain in this
J regard in the last half century through
the invention of power drills, more
effective explosives, better hosting
systems and more efficient methods OF
treating the ores, is such that, on the
average, in terms of labor. it probably
does not at present cost one-third as
much to win and treat a given amount
of ore from underground mines as il
did in 1850.
Making no allowance for future i'm
provements in mining, we may evi
IDENTIFY expect a very great and RAPID
increase in the annual supply of thii
precious metal from the bettermenti
already effected. AS to the extent o
this gain there is no basis for a trust
worthy reckoning; but those who hav'
some idea of the amount of gold-beaI
ing veins which can with skillful min
ing be made to yield a profit at tn
present rates of interest will probabl,
be disposed to agree with me in tn
opinion that at anything like the pres
ent prices of labor the yield from thi
group of deposits is likely With
twenty years to exceed $500, 900 900 pc
annum.

MINES ON PRIVATE LAND GRANTS

Congressional Delegate Rodey, of
New Mexico has introduced a bill to
authorize prospecting for and develop
ing mineral claims within the limits
of private land grants. The Denver
Republican says that the object of the
bill is to meet conditions which exist
in nearly all localities where old Span
ish or Mexican land grants have been
confirmed.
In most Of those grants the mineral
rights were reserved by the govern
ment and also in most cases the confir-
nation by the United States has left
this feature unchanged. In a few in
stances only the government Of the
United States has granted the mineral
along with the other rights.
Where the mineral is reserved the
owner of the grant has no right to ex-
tract it. That right belongs to the
United States or any one to whom
it may be given. But at present pri-
vate individuals cannot locate mineral
claims within the limits of a grant be.
cause the surface does not belong to
the public. The owner of the grant
may prohibit trespassing and thus
keep all prospectors off. AS a result
the mineral of a private land grant
must remain undeveloped.
If the Rodey bill becomes a law the
way will be opened for prospecting
on such a grant. Congress has itself
the right to enter upon a private Ian
grant to extract the mineral under the
principal that one may do whatever
may be incidental and essential to the
enjoyment of some other right, con-
nected with land. For instance, the
right to cut timber on the land of an
other involves the right to cross the
intervening ground in order to reach
the timber. No doubt congress can
extend to private individuals this right
to enter upon a land grant and extract
the mineral that may be beneath the
surface.
1t will be fortunate for New Mexico
if the Rodey act becomes a law, for
there are many private land grants in
that territory upon which prospecting
should be permitted.

The proverbial delay of the law is
exemplified in a suit which has been

be settled. The amount involved in
the suit originally was only about
$50, 900.
