It adjacent properties will contribute, it is proposed tu materially lengthen and improve the road. The pro- posed road will run along Sheep Creek valley and will terminate at the Red Mountain railroad. Mr. Hansen, the superintendert, reports that the vein on which the shaft is being sunk has widened to nearly nine feet, with good shipping ore infsight. It is his intention to sink 6o to 70 feet, crosscut the vein and then drift and stope the ore. Mr. Hansen is also the president of the company and is giving his time and experience in superintending until shipping commences, without charge. Prof. F, R. Blochberger, as secretary-treasurer, is doing the same and to the latter is due the credit of inspecting and opening the property, which is now acknowl- edged by mining men and brokers to he in excellent condition. Its close proximity to such properties as the Velvet, Victory-Triumph, Portland and Big Four are much in favor. A complete report by I. B. Atkinson, the consulting engineer, appears in this issue. In Haley’s Favor. The case of Haley vs. McLaren, an action for possession of lot 16, black 20, in the railway addition to the city of Rossland, was concluded this forenoon and judgment was given in favor of the plaintiff,on the ground that at the time of location the property was outside of the land in dispute between the Paris Belle company and the Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway. A stay of execution was granted by the court for six weeks on application of counsel for the defendant. Investigating Grievances R. C. Clute, the special commis- sioner appointed by the Dominion government to inquire into the working of the eight hour law and other matters in connection with the mining industry in the Slocan, is holding sessions of the court of investigation in Sandon and is tak- ing evidence from members of the miners’ union and officials of the Sil- Rea Next to Kootenay Hotel. : , : | EWERT BROS., Engraving without charge.

A Boer Attack Repulsed. - London, Dec. 11.—The Daily Telegraph despatch from Mod- der river D 5 says ‘‘A th d Boers ked two com- panies ofthe second Northamptonshire regiment who had been left to guard the lines of communications at Enslin. General Methuen dispatched the twelfth Lancers and Seaforth Highlanders, to- gether with the sixty second field battery, to the assistance. The enemy withdrew when the reinforcement approached. The caval- ry pursued them. The British loss was one killed and six wounded. The first train crossed the temporary bridge over Mod- der river Friday. London, Dec. 11.—The war office publishes the following dis- patch from General Forestier-Walker, at Cape Town: Gatacre reports: Deeply regret toginform you that I met with a serious reverse in attack on Stormberg. I was misled as to the enemy’s position by the guides, and found impracticable ground, Casualties, so far as known at present, are: Second Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles—Wounded: Lieuten- ant Colonel Fager, Major Seaton, Captain Bell, Captain Kelly, Li pt Li Barnardston. Suffolk Regment—Wounded, Second Lieutenant. Maynard, 12 men. Missing: Captain Weir, Lieutenant Christle, Second Lieutenant Rodney, 290 men.

The road from West Robson climbs the precipitous walls of the Columbia canyon until one can look from the windows sheer down at the black water, hundreds of feet below. It goes up and up, the gorge narrowing to a mere slit in the mountains, only to widen again, with equally perpendicular walls. where the river spreads out to form Lower Arrowlake. Then the road turns up the deep, narrow ravine, through which Bulldog creek flows from the west, and which has sides so steep that one seems almost to beriding on the tops of the pine trees that tower from its depths. Still climbing, the road comes, 28 miles from Robson, to the east por- tal of the Bulldog tunnel, 3100 feet long, which is being pierced through the ridge, dividing the watershed of Bulldog from that of Dog creek. This tunnel is being driven ahead by eight air drills from each end and the headings were only 80 feet apart on Saturday. It will be fin- ished within six weeks. The road now crosses the ridge at an altitude of 4500 feet above sea level by a switchback five miles long, with six officers and men. Royal Berkshire—Killed: One private. The remainder of my casualties will be wired as soon as as- certained. How It Happened. Molteno, Cape Colony, Dec. 10.—General Gatacre left Put- ters’ kraal tor Molteno and then proceeded towards Stromberg by forced marches. He had 4000 men, including the Northumber- land Fusiliers;. the Royal Irish Rifles and two batteries of field ar- tillery. ? About half past 11 o'clock the column arrived safely within a couple of miles of its destination. Sudenly a tercific fire open- ed simultaneously on the British front and right flank. The Roy- al Irish Rifles, which formed the advance, sought shelter behind a neighboringkopje and were speedily joined by the remainder of the column, It was soon found, however, that this position also was covered by Boer guns, which were more powerful than had been supposed. Tye troops, therefore, sought a sater position about half a mile away, two batteries in the ‘meantime engaging the Boers and covering the troops in their withdrawal. The action now became general at long range anda _ detach- ment of mounted infantry moved northward with a view of falling on the enemy’s right flank. Suddenly a strong do was sean moving from the north and the Royal Irish Rifles and the Northumberland regiment were sent to meet it. It was soon discovered, however, that the Boers had machine guns well placed and the British were compelled to face a terrible fire. Finding it almost impossible to hold the position in the face of an enemy epparently superior In position, numbars and artillery, the British retired on Molteno, the Boers following up the retirement closely and bringing two big guns to bear upon the column. General Gatacre’s movement was to ascertain the strength of the position of the Boers, who are strongly intrenched stong the Sto.mberg range. e Limited ; y Gompany, rs 5, privi-~ ‘Tra to acquire all the assets, franchise ‘nges and business of the Rossland M1 The excursion gave the business men of the Kootenay and ceast cit- ies an opportunity to see a railroad which is one of the greatest feats of engineering in America.

London, Dec. 11.—Later details regarding the disaster to General Gatacre’s colum. show that, but for the magnificent work of the British artillery, the disaster would have beeu far more ex- tensive. Apparently the British were set an impossible task and were treacherously guided. The burghers numbered 6000 men, instead of 2500 as the spies reported.
