ROSSLAND EVENING

RECORD, JUNE 11, 1900.

OPEN A NEW LEVEL

Drifting Begins on the Seventh in the
War Eagle.

SINKING SHAFT RESUMED

‘Work Now Being Pushed on the Deepest Level
—New Hoist Doing Well—Sinking of Cen-
tre Star Shaft Will SoonBe Resumed—High
Grade Ore on First Level.

A contract has been let for run-
ning the drifts on the seventh level
of the War Eagle mine and work
was started yesterday. After a
drift has been run a short distance
east, crosscuts will be made north
and south to tap both veins.
Another party of contractors will
begin sinking the main shaft from
the seventh level tomorrow, The
diamond drill has been taken down
to that level to do some crosscut-
ting. .

Work continues on the fifth level
in the upraise and on the west drift
on the north vein. On the sixth
level dritts are being run west on
the south vein and east on the north
vein. The upraise on the south
vein also continues.

The new hoist is working well
-and all the dirt is now raised to the
main shaft house, the auxiliary
hoist on the second level having
been laid off.

Plans are being prepared for the
new ore bins to be erected adjoining
the shaft house. They will provide
a much larger number of pockets of
smaller size than the old ones, ad:
mitting of a better classification
of ore.

The station on the fourth level of
the Centre Star is being timbered

, Preparatory to the resumption of
sinking, which will take place some
time this month. During the next
ten days drifting both ways from the
‘shaft on this level will be started.
The crosscut tunnel on the first level
has connected with the raise for the
second level and the tunnel is being
continued: as a drift west on the
ledge. It is in high grade ore for
the full face and a crosscut is likely
to reveal a still greater widtn.

DEFENCE OF VICTORIA

Nenrly 1000 Men to Be Mobilized Here
in July

On the first two days in next

Month Victoria is to witness the

mobilization in this city of alt the

Canadian coast forces for the pur-

pose of manning the fortresses and

‘etherwise participating in the de-

fense of this port.

“Itis expected that nearly 1000
mien will take part in the exercises,
which will be a practical exemplifi-
cation of how the British naval base
and the provincial capital would be
defended by land forces in the event
of an invasion. This will be quite

“apart from and supplementary to
the operations of the navy.

The details, while probably known
to those in authority, are not yet
divulged, but it is: understood that
the plan emanated from the depar:-
mert at Ottawa, wita the co-opera-
tion, doubtless, of the war office.

The corps which will take part will
include the Royal Engineers and
sub-marine mining corps, the Royal
Garrison artillery, A company R. C.

~R’, the Fifth regiment C. A. and the
Sixth rifles of Vancouver, _

The expense of transporting the
troops will be borne by the depart-
ment of militia and defense. The
artillery will man the guns, while
the fifles will act as auxiliaries, and
the engineers in their regulation ca-
pacity; - .

The manoeuvers are expected to
forin’a’ practical lesson in defensive
warfare, while the brigading of
militia with regulars is expected to
have a beneficial influence on both.

_ BUSHMEN AGAINST BOERS

Australians Who Will Fightin South

Africa Under Carrington
Sydney, April 25.—Another con-
tingent of Australian bushmen,
several hundred strong, has just
p Sydney for South Africa, and

within the next few days the cot
tingents from the other colonies wi
also be on their way thither says a
Sydney, N. S. W., letter to the
Montreal Herald. The — total
strength of the imperial bushmen’s:
regiment will be over 2,500, which
could easily have been increased to
10,000. In fact, a reserve force of
nearly 2,000 men has been formed
from the mass of disappointed vol-
unteers.
The troops will land at Beira,
and, under the command of Sir
Frederick Carrington, form a kind
of armed police on the northern and
northwestern borders of the Trans-
vaal. Most of the officers are
Australian-born, many being well
to do professional men, and nota
few celebrities in the colonial world
of sport. All are good bushmen
and excellent rides. The rapidity
with which they have become trans-
formed into a regular military force
constitutes another argument in
favor of a citizen soldier system.
The khaki uniforms are of a
darker shade than those of pre-
vious contingents, and consequently
less conspicuous at a distance. It
looks as if it were destined to seal
the fate of scarlet and other bril-
liantly colored uniforms, save for
official or parade purposes, a change
which it has taken the . imperial
authorities over a century to effects
The growth of -the military spirit
in Australia has largely affected the
national sports, many of the lead-
ing colonial turfmen, cricketers,
football players and experts at other
sports being now in South Africa.
There has, however, been a large
increase in the number of rifle clubs,
and it is estimated that by the ead
ot: ‘the year.the number of men
capable of bearing arms in the
seven colonies will be over 100,000,
exclusive of school cadets.

The .experiment of training the;
senior cadets as mounted infantry |
has proved successful, and it is pro-|
posed, after the return of the va-|
rious colonial troops from South |
Africa, to have periodical exercises |
in the art of defending hills, moun-|

tain passes and other natural ob-
stacles to the inland advance of an

invader.

turned to Spokane last night.

A probable explanation of the re-

through Swaziland comes in a dis-

June 11, announcing the return of
the British cruiser Doris from Koosi

of whale boats with the object of
landing an armed’ force, presumably
part of a plan to penetrate into
Swaziland. The Boers, however,
got wind of the expedition and the
force was not landed.
