Activity About Fort Steele.

The activity in the mines about
Fort Steele still continues. The
working force on many of the prop-
erties is being increased and by
spring there will be considerable
to show. The prediction is made
that next year will develop several
prospects into mines of considerable
importance. The Big Chief and
Dupont will undoubedly. be placed
on the list of shippers next season.
A vast amount of work will be done
this winter. At the Chick&amon
Stone there is no abatement in the
work, and it is rapidly making a
mine.

it all in all, the outlook for the Fort

RELIEF OF
KIMBERLY . |
ASSURED

Garrison Now Acting in
Concert With Meth-
tuen’s Forces.

DANGER OF HUNGER

London, Dec. 1.—While the rumors of the relief of Kimberly
current on the stock exchange today, may be premature in cheir
literal ‘sense, there seems'no doubt that the pressure on the garri-
son has been much lightened’ by General Methuen’s successes and
the actual relief of that place is likely to be a fact very soon.

A clue to the’urgent reasons which dictated General Meth-
uen’s hurried march may be found in Governor Milner’s hint to
the relief committee to prepare for the reception of 10,000 re-
fugees and indicating that the garrison must-have had reason to
fear the reduction of Kimberly by starvation and disease.

‘The most recent news from Kimberly comes by way of Pre-
toria and almost seems to show that Kimberly and Mafeking are
‘acting in concert with General Methuen, for at the time the battle
was raging at Gras Pan both Colonel Kekewich and Colonel
Baden-Powell made sorties and assailed the beleaguers. The re-
sult, as sent from Pretoria, was that Colonel Kekewich inflicted
considerable loss on the Boers, two shells killing nine and wound-
ing 17 in a group.

It is reported that General Methuen resumed his westward
course in order to form a junction with the Kimberly forces Satur-
day or Sunday. It is suggested in some quarfers that the Boers
have been, withdrawn from the north of Cape Colony, and may be
hurrying to attack Methuen's rear, but, as reinforcements have
been pushed rapidly forward from Orange river and De Aar, it is
claimed they ought to circumvent such a.desjgn...- - *

that day, the chartered police attacked Eloffs Fort with great de-
termination. The fight was progressing when the dispatch was
