' I hey are experts in the operation of dig glng gold out of the pockets of minority, stockholders, all right, all right; even if they are a t r i lie shy on information as to the best method of getting the stuff out of ' the ground. It has been said with more or less truth, that in the evolution of a , howling, gold-ribbed mountain wilderness into a producing mining region, ;i job lot i of litigation Is one of the necessary fac tors.

The Preuch mob gave him a wot in reception, hut he was handed a frost by the l:rench government. In the lelchst.ig, at Merlin, Moudiy, the Imperial chancellor, Count Von Heulnw, replying to a question on the subjeit of Mr. Kruger's failure to be received bv Emperor William, said the government did all hi Its power to ward olf war, and It-It the two republics in no doubt as to the state of affairs In liurope and as to Herman neutrality. When, in 1K00, the question of arbitration seemed not altogether excluded, the government recommended it to Mr. Kroger. He thought tlie time had not come. When Mr. Kruger later sought Intervention his leellugs weie too highly Inll.ited for the) hutch and (lerm.in governments. l-or I the (ierman government it was lost time to give advice. Germany was convinced th.it 'inv step of a great power at that j moment would lead to no results.
