"The main advance was successfully carried out, the obJecUve attack being found evacuated. An artillery duel which ensued between cur fltld bat teries and tho enemy' guns Is under stood to have caused heavy loss to the enemy. Th reconnolssance forced the enen y to fully disclose his position, and after a strong counter attack on our right Infantry, the brigade and cavalry had been repulsed. The troops were lowly withdrawn to camp, pickets be ing left on observation. Lt In the en gagement the naval contingent under Captain Lambler came into action and silenced, with their extremely accurate Are, the enemy's guns of position. The circumstances which attended the movement of Carlton's corumn are not yet fully known, but from reports received, the column appears to have, carried out the night march unmolest ed, until within two mile of Nicholson's Nek. At hl point two boulders rolled from the hill and a few rifle shots stam peded the Infantry ammunition mules. The stampede spread to the battery mules, which broke lot from their leaders and ran away with practically the whole of the gun equipment and a Best work at our Prices, because we have the largestvolume of Dental Work in Portland.

I Apart from White's statement that the losses are very numerous, there Is nothing to indicate the extent of them except the vague report that the sol dier who brought the lews to Lady smith said the British dead and wound ed were lyliiR in he,jps and that hun dreds needed doctors. Thl", however, Is hardly borne out by the long list of captured officers. The concluding senltei.ee In White's dispatch relative to the safety of Lady smith was received here with a certain reserve, in view of the fact that similar official assurances were given recently at Dundee, and Glencoe. There Is In tense anxloty for news of the renewed attack, which 'is not mentioned In the dispatches. The Standard sums up the feeling of the nation! saying: "From the United States and our col onies alone wj hear a volce of friendly sorrow and encouragement. But that sufTces; all others are welcome to con gratulate themselves over the misfor tunes of Great Britain."

The principal portion of this Is rep resented by drafts held by John Bryne- son, Jafet Llnderb-rg, P. H. Anderson and C. W. A. Kjlllman, the four orig inal locators of the camp. There -were fully 200 others on board, with dust val eud at from 500 to $15,000 each, a lnrga portion of the same being beach dust. The principal holdings are about as follows: Llnderberg and Brynteson, J400.000; J. It. Anderson, $100,000; C. W. A. Kjlllman, $75.00; N. P. R. Hatch, J50.000; F. Schow. $30,000; H. C.
