RICH ORE MINES.
Railroad Graders in British Colum~
bia Uncover Valuable Deposits
of Gold and Silver,
While grading on the Canadian Pa
cific extension in British Columbia,
Contractors McKenzie & Mann have un
covered great ledges of ore running
high in copper, gold and silver. They
are making good profits on the rail
road contract, but present indications
are that these mineral discoveries will
pay them far better.
A mining expert who has just come
from DBritish Columbia says that one
ledge alone will make them million
aires. This ledge was found near Cas
cade, a new town on the Columbia &
Western railroad. It has not been
thoroughly explored, but has been
stripped sufficiently to show it exceeds
50 feet in width.
Assays from near the surface give
values of $4O to $5O a ton, making it
practically certain another Leroy or
Republic mine has been discovered.
Two smaller ledges have been uncov
ered by the grading crews, both giving
promise of making good mines,
TO BUILD BRIDGES IN JAPAN.
Constructors of the Atbhara HBridge
Recelve a Large Order for Bridges
on Imperial Rallroad.
The news of the dedication of the
Atbara river bridge, in the Soudan, a
few days age, was such a satisfaction to
the officers of the American company
which did the work that the reflections
on the permanence of the structure,
contained in some of the London news
papers, are not likely to disturb them.
They built the bridge in a few months,
while the quickest time in which any
English company would undertake to
supply it was'a year and a half. Insin
uations that the work might have been
done by English workmen do not
trouble them now, as they have re
ceived from convineing sources the
most satisfactory indorsement of their
work. They are to construct for the
Japanese imperial railways the lorgest
order in steel bridges ever filed in Ja
pan by a steel company of any country,
and they attribute their selection to
the promptness and success with which
they completed the bridge at Aabara.

BATTLE UNDER WAY
’ .
!Brltish and Free State Forces Are
‘ Fighting Near Ladysmith.
\
NO DETAILS OF THE ENGAGEMENT,
Transvaal Troops Alse Sald to Be
Approaching Ladysmith and a
Conflict with Them Is
Expected. =
Ladysmith, Oct. 19.-The British
forces came into contact with the Free
State forees in the neighborhooed of Ae
tonhomes and Testers Station, about 16
miles out, Wednesday morning. The
firing began about ten o'clock. A num
ber of casualties have been reported.
Supports are leaving the camp and ex
pect to fight to-day.
An official note published here says:
“A Free State commando on Tuesday
commenced actual hostilities. The
Free State has thus taken upon itself
the responsibility of beginning war, and
cannot hereafter pose as the injured
party.”
: - Another Battle Imminent.
Ladysmith, Oct. 19.—-It is stated that
the Transvaal scouts are almost in
touch with the outposts at Glencoe,
The Boers are working around both
sides with the idea of getting south of
Ladysmith and attacking in force with
the cooperation of Commandant Gen
eral Joubert, At Glencoe the British
patrol covered a wide area, in order to
prevent outflanking, and were subjeat
ed to a hot fire in persistent skirmish

White Filag Dispinyed.
London, Oct. 19, — A special dispateh
from Pretoria reports that a white flag
has been hoisted at Mafeking. The cor
respondent does not know whether the
town intends to surrender.
A special dispateh dated at Pretoria
at noon Tuesday, says:
“After a few shots were fired at
Mafeking the white flag was holsted. A
Boer party, bearing & flag of truce, was
sent to inquire whether the town surren
dered. No definite reply was recelved.
The Boer messenger was detained for
#ix hours and then released.”
Another special dispatch from Pre
toria says:
“The Boer Krupp batteries are now cov
ering the town. Mllitary engineers can
be observed laying & temporary rallroad
which will probably be used in armored
train defense by the garrison.™
Humor Not Credited,
London, Oct. 19.—There is still no
authentic news from Mafeking, but all
reports tend to confirm the belief that
Col. Baden-Powell is holding his own,
and no eredit is given to the vague ru
mor that a flag of truce had been dis
played.
" = Exspeet a Battle,
A counsiderable engagement is antiei
pated in the vicinity of Ladysmith. The
combined advance of Boers and Free
;smc troops in this direction has been
executed with no incofisiderable skill
and shows a clear appreciation of the
British position. Gen. Sir George Stew
art White has 12,000 men and 46 guns
'lnihblr, besides a considerable foree
of volunteers, to hold Ladysmith, and
no anxiety is felt on hix account, for
the Natal country, where the engage’
ment is expeeted, is fairly open, and,
although the work of moving them will
be dificult, the guns are likely to do
good work. The country is not favor
‘able for Boer tactics, and it will be very
difficult for them 1o avoid the exposyre
of their flanks to attack by a vigorous
and mobile enemy already occupying
‘uulul positions—that is, supposing
they really mean to fight and not mere
iy toattempt to draw Gen. White farther
iont with a view of surrounding him.
British Camp Captured.
Lorenzo Margues, Oct. 19.—The Volk
sten, the Boer official organ at Pretoria,
gives the following aecount of the oe
cupation of the British camp at Ramath
labamas. just north of Mafeking:
‘“The British camp at Ramathisbam
Bas been captured and sacked by Gen
Cronje afier severe fighting. Many burgn
ers were killed or wounded. The Hritish
loss is not known.” The Volksten adds
that: *‘Success has thus far evirywhere
attended the burghers, althoush it ad
mits that in the various skirmishes near
Mafeking and at other points the Boer
casualties number some 80 or 70 Killed and
wounded.”
Additional Troops Asked For,
London, Oct. 19~A supplementary
army estimate has been issued asking
the house of commons to vote an ad
ditional 35,000 men and & 10,000,000
($50,000,000) In consequence of the situ
ation in South Africa.
It is explained that the 35,000 men
represent the probable maximum ex
cess beyond the estublishments fixed
for the year 1898-1000, and is in couse
quence of the calling c at of he reserves
and of the temporary ransfer of troops
from the Indian to the Rritish estab.
lishment. With the additional &10,
000,000, the total army estimates are
£ 30,617,200,
It is not believed that the militia are
to be sent to South Africa. Presumabiy
they will replenish the denuded Birit
ish garrison towns and thus permit the
government to send to the Cape all the
regulars rendered nedessary by devel
opments in South Africa,
STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
-
Party of Young Men Meet Disaster at
Seymour, In=oOne¢ Killed and
Several Injured.
Seymour, la., Oet, 19~ A frightful ac
cident occurred here u€ 7: 45 Wednesday
evening in which one person was killed
and nine others injured, perhaps several
of them fatally. A erownd of young men
had started to the eountry to charivari
a newly-married eouple, and ax they
drove across the Roek Island track, in
the east limits of the city, they were
struck by the east-bound ment train
and knocked from the track. Will Cop
ples was killed outright, and hix body
was found upon the pilot of the engine
The other members of the party were
thrown promiscuously along the track
and the wagon was completely demol
ished and the harness torn from the
horses. One of the horses was injured
but the other escaped. Freight No. 43
had side tracked and eut the crossing
to await the passing of the meat train,
The position of the train is largely re
sponsible for the accident, as the fast
freight could not be seen by the parties
in the wagon. A young man who had
crossed the track and saw the train
coming called to the parties in the
wagon to stop, and he was heard by
Brakeman Lewis, of No. 93, who rushed
to the crossing and used hix best en
deavors to stop the team, but the boys
were all langhing and eutting up and
evidently did not see his signal,
FIREMEN KILLED.

Knightstown, Ind., Oet. 16, The

’ The men were members of the volun
teer fire department and were fighting
the fire when the front wall of a three
story building felloutward. They were
eaught by the falling bricks and
crushed to death, and it is believed
that at least two others met with the
same fate. The Masonie Temple, the
Hargest building in the eity, was in the
path of the flames and wan destroyed
together with the buildings cecupied
by E. O. Anderson, dealer in housebold
goods; Green Brothers, saloon, and
Davey Brothers, dealers in notions, The
fire is supposed to have originated
from an explosion of natural gas.
