STRIKE PAYING on IN AFRICA.

Official Reports Indicate Petroleum
Deposits Are Extensive.
Consul General Stowe of Cape Town
sends Il report from Mr.. Seavill, mining
and land agent, of Kimberley, on the
discovery of indications of mineral oil
in South Africa, with reports on said
indications by geological and mining
experts, from which the following ex-
tracts have been taken:
The supposed oil belt in South Afri-
ca extends from the Ceres district
across the country to Mossel Bay OH the
coast, $50 miles east Of Cape Town.
The geological formation is the Devon

the 'Bokveldt beds.' The marked indi-
cations of the existence Of petroleum
gas escaping near tie contact between
its shales and sandstone; iridescent,
,SiIy-looking patches of film upon the
surface of standing water near these
contacts; mysterious fires occurring on
the bare veldt, burning for two or three
months at n time. In the MOssel Bay
district another evidence of the exist
ence of petroleum is found in the shape
of the pitchy, bituminous substance be-
tween shales in the Courts River. The
geological and physical character and
condition of the rocks in the Mossel dis
trict are favorable. The shales of the

Gov. Van SAINT made a short speech,
In which he said:
1.-THE State Of Minnesota has had on
the statute books for more than twenty
6ve-years laws prohibiting the consolida-
tion in any way OF parallel and Compel
ing lines of railway. 1t has been the
settled policy Of our State to maintain
a free, open and unrestricted competi-
ton in freight and passenger rates.
1.-The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cifc Railway companies operate parallel
md competing lines of railway within
the State. These are practically the,
only roads which furnish any transportaj
ton facilities to the northern. ha,f-of the
State, with the execution of the two
known as the Ore roads,
ut has been recently announced that
Mr.. Hill and his assistants have obtain
ed the control of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company and intend to operate
the same jointly with the Great Northern
and in effect bring about a consolidation
by removing all competition and all rival
~ between these roads.
ITO this end the Northern Securities
Company was organized in New Jersey
to acquire a controlling amount of the
stock of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific Railway companies in ex-
change for its own stock and it is through
this company that the unity of manage
ment and control is to be effected.
"As soon as this fact became known
to INC 1 felt it my duty as Governor to
do everything in my official power to OPP
pose the consolidation or amalgamation
of these properties within the State of
Minnesota.
IF there is such a consolidation con-
templated, and hat fact seems to be
practically conceded, it is an open VIOLA
ton of the law as well as the declared
public policy of the State Of Minnesota,

The severe morality of modern times

gray hairs alone ought to protect him

Santa Claus. 1t has been decided by
many wise mothers that this Christmas

edge of hypocrisy and deceit, and that
there Is an unbecoming skepticism
about the young man of seven or eight
who has outlived the st. Nicholas delu-
sion and a certain air of contemptuous
pity towards other victims of this de-
ceit. Moreover, they declare that it is
demoralizing to make an idol of one
whose only virtue is u reckless habit
of gift-giving and about whose othe,
habits little is known. Yet ON the 9th
er hand 1t has never been proved that
those who have been thus amiably de-
luded were any the worse for the decep-
tion in after life, and. in fact, many
who have outlived all delusions love to
hug to themselves the memory of their
faith In this gfver of good gifts. Or
course the saint himself has felt his
power weakening in late years and he

more to his pack of miseries. Parents
will decide for themselves in this mat
