Garrigan, Jos. R. Kett- Ter, Louis Lytton, Robson Dalton, How ard Brandon, Madalyin Kern and Lot tie Zenobia The scenery is all car ried and is by James Fox, of New York. The explosion of the mine is exactly such an incident as recently occurred near JoJhnstown, and gives one a vivid picture of the perils which environ the heroic miner.

The valuable mineral land adjoining
 the Bonanza Circle properties on the

 the last tract, now held by individ-
 ual holders, is shortly to be sold to a
 company of Minnesota capitalists who
 will explore the land thoroughly. The
 section referred to comprises twenty
 claims, and is situated but a short
 distance south of the Worlds Fair
 and Muheim groups, which were sold few weeks ago to Michigan men, who have since perfected the organization of the Saginaw Development company, and will, within the next sixty days, commence operations on the property. The twenty claims for which the Duluth, Minn., parties are negotiating are owned by Messrs. Shattuck, Bow en, Henderson and Henninger, and the deal for the sale of the same is being engineered by George Clark, of this city. Mir. Clark stated yesterday that he expected to draw the deal to a close within a very few days, and that the price the twenty claims would bring would amount to s150,o0o All preliminary steps have been taken, and the transfer of the property now depends on but few minor details,
 so the transaction is practically assur- ed
 The Eastern parties who will ac- Guire possession of the land south of the Saginaw company's group are pre- pared to conduct extensive develop ment operations on the claims for the purpose of locating copper ore depos-
 its in that direction. It is their inten-
 tion to commence the work as soon as practicable. and it is not unlikely that the next few months will see ma
 chinery and force of men engaged

 erally considered valuable for mining,
 though no extensive development
 work has thus far been accomplished
 there.

OF THE BRITISH TROOPS
WITHOUT FALTERiNG.

Tuna Tibet, April 4-The Tibetan
cort and five high Lhassa officials
were among the hundreds killed in the
fighting of March 81 at Guiru. Tibet.
The small British losses are account
ed for by the fact that the Tibetans
were SO huddled together that the
majority were unable either TO use
their swords or to fire. The swordsmen
in the front rank could not reach the
Sikhs, who had fixed bayonets, while
the men in the middle Of the mob
could not reach the enemy, but many
OF them probably killed each other in
the mad excitement
The scene recalled old time fights
in cockpits. the grim, determined
faces OF the Tibetans, lighted with
devilish savagery, expressing con
tempt for the Skhs, whom they out
numbered six or seven to one. When
the Ihassa general fired the first shot
the Tibetans, with wild shouts, drew
their swords fired their matchlocks
and surged forward.
Those OF the Tibetans who tried to
climb the wall were met with a terri
BILE magazine rife fire, but they did
not falter, those behind springing over
the heaps OF dead and continuing the
fight until riddled with bullets. When
finally the Tibetans retired they
tramped back slowly and steadily,
though followed by a hail of bullets.
A mountain battery was brought into
action and tore the retreating lines
with shrapnel A terrible trail of dead
and dying marked the line of march.
