THE ONLY VICTIMS.
An Adventure In the Surf on the West
Coast of Africa.


West Africa is known to all nayiga-
tors for its few harbors and its heavy
surf, which at certain seasons RACES
like a battle, defying the white man
who would approach its shores. The
author of "The Jungle Folk of Africa" +"
Mr.. r. H. Milligan, tells Of success
full, and to the observers an amusing,
effort to reach shore at point where
the surf did not seem to be impossible.
One day when the beach seemed
much better than usual the captain
and the ships surgeon ventured ashore.
The captain afterward narrated the
adventure of their landing to a small
but enthusiastic audience. He said
that after waiting outside the surf half
an hour the headman suddenly gave
the order, and in a moment they were
in the breakers, riding on the top of
one of them and speeding toward the
shore at the rate of seventy miles an
hour"
The captain was in the bow Of the
boat, well braced and cushioned. But
when the boat struck the beach with
the force Of a railway collision the
doctor was thrown violently over two
thwarts into the captains bosom,
whom he clasped about the neck with
a steel-like grip.
The next moment another breaker
picked the boat up and hurled it upon
the beach, throwing both captain and
doctor to a perfectly safe distance
where they sprawled upon the sand
The doctor, still hugging the captains
neck and very much frightened, ex
claimed: ......
"Oh, captain, dear captain, is there
anybody killed but you and me?"

The difference between the farme,
of today and of thirty years ago is the
difference between the old A drag and
the four horse harrow; between the
old mandrake and reaper and the mod
ern arvester; between the stable
made Of few poles and straw pile
and the red barn that takes in all out
doors; between hazel splitter and the
four-square bulk of a thoroughbred
porker; between. Oh---that's difference
enough isn't it? Perhaps we might
add the difference between mortgage
at 10 per cent and a time deposit at 4
per cent interest and that's only IA
per cent of the difference.

BRAVE SOLDIERS.
Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the Colors.

Sacrificed Their Lives In an Attempt
to Save the Colors.
In days gone by the Zulus were
the boldest fighters among all the ma
tives Of South Africa, and it was not
until they had been defeated in sew
eral battles that they would live in
peace with white people.
In 1873 5000 Of the Zulus attacked
and killed regiment Of British sol
diers, and most heroic deed was the
attempt made by three British SOL
diers to save the two flags, or colors,
belonging to the regiment.
When it was seen that the Zulus
were so many that there was no hope
Of keeping them at bay the colonel OF
the British regiment called to a young
officer whose name was Lieutenant
Melvill and said, "You will take
charge of the colors, Melvill, and try
to get away from here"
The lieutenant saluted and took into
his hands the two colors of his regi-
ment Then, with another officer and
a, soldier, all mounted on horses, ne
suddenly dashed away with his pre-.
cious burden.
They were at once seen by the keen
sighted Zulus, however, and after a
long chase the three gallant English
men, fighting to the last, were killed
by the enemy, y
Some time afterward one Of the flags
was found near rocky stream, where
the heroes had fought and died, and
1t was taken to England and presented
to Queen Victoria.
And in memory Of the three brave
soldiers who had died while defending
1t the queen placed wreath of i'm
mortelles ON the staff which held the

COLORADO TO GET
TO BETTER DEPTH
Jesse Knight Says Company Has
Ordered Machinery to Be-

TO FOLLOW RICH ORE
DOWN IN THREE PLACES
Mr.. Knight Believes Beck Tun-
mel Is Close to Good
Results.

The question has been asked scores
of times why the Jesse Knight inter
csts do not drive earnestly TO better
depths than the main level of the
Colorado Mining territory. This q4es3'
tion was answered positively on FRI
day by Jesse knight, president of the
company, md answered in the right
way He states that the company is
now making preparations 10 drive deep
in several different places.
Nh Koundy has ordered three
small engines to lift rock from three
different winzes.' said Mr.. knight TO
The Tribune. 1--WE will begin sinking
at the points where everything points
to the rich orc going down. Mr., Roundy
seems confident that we will find n sec
ond and a parallel ore body below
the original resource. The Colorado
property is looking very good. The
management has started 10 drift on the
ore towards the Sioux lines. You know
that the ore goes under the quartZlte
which shows at this end of the mine,
and we had TO sink 35 feet lower than
tho main level to get to the bottom of
the ore And we may have to drive
even deeper as we approach the Sioux
lines, for the Sioux is working at a
deeper level than our own.
"'We are meeting with encouraging
conditions in the Beck Tunnel Our
effort has been for the past year to
open the ore to the north of the dixie
which cut the ore body in two. We
have been following several stringers,
hoping each one would lead TO the con
tinuation Of the ore Mr.. Roundy in
forms me that the present face is get

he has hopes that soon we will have

TREASURE HILL NOW
At INTERESTING POINT
Fifteen to Sixteen Inches Good
Ore Being Opened at
Depth.

w. b. Andrew, director of the
Uintah Treasure Hill company, has re.
turned from an inspection of tho mine
at Park City. There have been several
interesting rumors afloat recently III
regard to the condition Of this property,
all being highly flattering. aud Mr. An
drew feels that the property has reached
it's most interesting stage Of develop
ment.
IL feel some hesitancy,' he said,
Friday. '.of expressing myself about
the Treasure Hill, for I believe it would
be better policy to wait until more work
has been done before talking too much.
But it is perhaps better to give the ac-
tual facts than to trust to rumor in
forming stockholders what the condi-
tions are.
son the 265-foot level we arc right
at the spot we have been trying TO get
at for the. past six or seven years.
Several weeks ago we ran into some ore
but the flow of water was so great for
a while that the management could not
work profitably. The company is now
exploring this ore, and we have from
fifteen to sixteen inches of first class
rock exposed. This ore occurs in the
right spot of the Hill, and in the right
formation, being in the contact, for
making into something big and rich. and
we deem the presence Of this ore signj-
ficant not so much on account of it's
intrinsic merits, but for the reason that
it should lead us to the main resource.
With this in view, the work of the next
few weeks will be Of Importance.
'|We arc sending in a crosscut which
will tap this same ore fifty feet farther
along on its strike, and this work should
materiallZe soon. On the 600-foot level
we will have to drift about 500 feet be-
fore getting to the same body. These
are the facts as they now exist, and the

generally is cleared in a very cncourag

stated yesterday BY one close 10 the com
pany that there remains no treasury stock

from apprehension lest large blocks OF
such stock would be thrown on the mar
ket at any time TO help bear the situation
This means that the company will In ali
probability. levy an assessment during the
next few days. calling for one cent or
half-cent per share, in order to keep on
developing the property. But the pros
pect of an assessment does not, appar-
entity, frightcn the local talent in the
least, The fact that there Is no more
treasury stock left is considered very
good omen for the organization.
