RAINS PROMISE RICH
HARVEST OF NUGGETS

GOLD HILL, ore. Jan. 24.-Plenty
of rains. with abundant SHOWS in the
hills. have raised the smaller trihu-
taries of Rogue River to point that
promises a successful season of plac-
er mining in the Gold Hill district.
Since the last of December the vari-
Gus mines of Sardine, Calls and Foots
Creeks. and numerous other smaller
streams, have been continuously work
ed. The Black Channel, one of the
largest of local placer mining proper
ties, situated on Foots Creek, is work
ing a double shift, and Superintendent
Ben Harrison anticipates large
cleanup. While sufficient rain has
fallen to keep the creeks at work
ing point, prospectors along the river
bars say that the RogIe river must
rise still higher to deposit new gold
bearing gravel in quantities to pay FOR
the working. There is the usual in
fling of aged argonauts, prospectors
of the good old golden days of placer
mining. scattered along the river
striving with pick and pan for grub
stake. each still looking forward &c
the "big strike" just under the grass
roots.

BRITISH PRIVATE TELLS
OF THE BATTLE At MONS

London, Sept. IA British private
who was wounded in the fiEht during
the retreat from Mons, tells the fol-
lowing story of the battle there:
1T was Sunday and the British resi-
ments at Mons were merry ma king
and enjoying themselves N Ieisure
along the streets. belgian ladies', re
turning from church handed the SOL
diers their PRAYER 0oks as souvenirs
while the belgian men gave the men
cigarettes and tn3acco which were
even more welcome.
About noon, when the men were
beginning TO think about dinner,
German aeroplane appeared overhead
and began throwing out a cloud of
black powder. which is one Of their
favorite methods Of assisting distant
batteries to get the range. No sooner
had the powder cloud appeared than
shrapnel began to burst overhead and
IN a moment all was confusion and up
roar. But it didn't take the regiments
long to get into fighting trim and
race through the city to the scene of
operations which was on the other
SIDE of the small canal in the suburbs
Here our outpOsts were engaging
the enemy fiercely. The outposts lost
very heavily, most of the damage be-
ing done by shells. The rifle fire was
ineffective. although at times the lines
OF Contenders were not more than 500
yards apart.
The first reinforCements to arrive
were posted in a glass factory. the
walls of which were Ioopholed and we
doggedly held that position until night
fall, when we fixed bayonetS and lay
in wait in case the enemy made an at
ness.
About midnight orders came to re-
tire over the canal and two companies
were left behind to keep the enemy
in check temporarily. After the main
BODY had crossed, the bridge was blown
up, leaving the two outpost companies
to reach the main body again.
The main body retired from the
town and fell back through open coun-
try being kept moving all night. When
daylight arrived it was apparent from
higher ground that Mons had been
practically blown away by the German
artillery. Throughout the morning we
continued to fight rear guard, but the
steady march in retreat did not stop
until O'Clock in the evening when the
British found themselves well out Of
range Of the German artillery in a
quiet valley. Here all the troops were
ordered to rest and eat as they had
been without food since the previous
mornings breakfast, it was rather
amusing to see the soldiers going into
the turnip fields and eating turnips as
though they were apples.
AT o'clock all lights were extingu-
ished, the soldiers were ordered to
make no noise and the pickers pushed

they abandoned a large quantity of
