U:s force consisted of 250 mounted troops from the 5:h Lancers,the Royal Canadian Dragoons and mounted rifles, two Royal (Jana dian artillery guns, four guns of the tiith bsttery and 900 infantry of the Suffolks and Sbropshires. "The Boers were met soon after starling from Belfast and hung on the front, flanks and rear until the Kornau River wer reached, where they stood at a very strong position. From this they were forced to retire by a wide turning movement by the Suffolks and the Canadian mounted troops around their flank "All the first day signal fires were lighted in all directions and before morning they were strongly rein forced "Our casualties the first day were six killed and twenty wounded, chiefly Sbropshires, who fought splendidly. The next day the Boers tried to seize the strong position on the bank of the Koroati, from which (hey were beaten out on November 6, but were prevented by Col Evans, with the Canadian mounted troops, and two of the 84th guns, galloping two miles and seizing it in the nick of time The rear, on the return march, was defended by Col. Lesssrd. with the Canadian Dragoons and two Roysl Canadian guns undnr Lieut Morrison "Smith Dorrien says no praise can be too high for the devoted gallantry these troops showed in keeping off the enemy from the infantry convoys "Iu the afternoon so event unpre cedented in this war occurred, when some 200 mounted Boers suddenly chaeged the tear guard to within seventy yards, wheothey were stop ped by the CanadiarrDragoons "During the fight sixteen of the Canadians fell into the hands of the. enemy, who treated them kindly and released them after removing their own dead and wounded, during which operation the Canadians were compelled to lie on their faces, in order that they might not see how heavily the Boers had suffered "Our casualties were two killed and twelve wounded " Several Encounters in a War That Has Been Officially Ended, Loudoo, Nov 12 ?Tho war oflhe has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts: Johannesburg.

He became general manager of the Alice Silver Mine and later came into con trol of the Anaconda copper mine At the time of his death he was presi dent of the Amalgamated Copper company In politics he was & Democrat The differences between Mr Daly and W A Clark have attracted much attention The trouble started years sgo over some water rights near Butte which Daly wauted and which Clark bought, forcing tbe other to pay a very high figure No mining property has attained greater fame as a producer of divi? dends than the famous Anaconda Originally bought as a silver mine it became famous for its copper and to it both Daly and Clark owe their vast fortunes Marcus Daly bought tbe property for $35,000 He acted, it is said, as agent for J B. Haggin, of California, who had sent him to Butte to buy him some good mining property As the new owners ran their shaft down they opened one of the world's greatest copper mines with silver enough to pay all expenses and hav ing the copper as clear profits Daly was superintendent and part owner of the great mine He bought the adjacent properties He foundered the town of Anaconds in a valley 25 miles distant, located where there is an exhaustless supply of water and a great deal of wood, two indispensa bles for the smelting and reduction of ores At that place he erected the greatest copper plant in the world Silver Id the East.
