Bassett Predicts a Great Year for the Miners. The outlook for the mining interests in California have never been brighter than at present, and with the assurance of an abundance of water, with quantities of capital looking for profitable investment, there is every indication of a year of wonderful development. i The new mining paper, the California Miner, publishes an entertaining article from the pen of J. M. Bassett of Oakland, in which he discusses the development of mining in California from the days of the “long-tom” down, and predicts that this will be California’s greatest good year. Mr. Bassett says: “This year, gives almost positive assurance of abundance of water. The rainfall of the season is very much in excess of the fall of any of the three or four past seasons, and already there are throughout the mines indications of large expansion in the volume of mining industry. Withinthe past year there have been heavy investments in California quartz mines. Markedly noticeable is this of the mines on tie mother lode, which lie on the western slope of the Sierras and outcrop the extent of several counties. A number of these mines on which for a long time little work has been done, have pessed to new management and are being prepared for active, and, ‘ho doubt, remunerative working. In the early days the requisites to mining success were main strength and awkwardness with a™sprinkling of mule luck. Now mines are worked on scientific principles, hence rock that forty years ago would not, pay ‘grub’ may now be worked at a handsome profit. The gist and force of this remark is in the fact that for each.ton of ore that would pay well with the pioneer appliances of main strength and awkwardness, there are millions of tons of low grade rock out of which scientific appliances extract high grade profit to the mine owners. So if there is a falling off in the quantity ef cream the supply of'milk is well nigh inexhaustible, hence with the aid of science THE BRITISH eee: MEET TROOPS SEVERE REVERSESReported Two Batteries Captured by the Boers—General Buller Defeated. . hensions throughout England. {SPECIAL TO THE DAILY TRANSORIPT.] Lonvon, Jan, 28.—It is reported today on the Stock Exchange that two batteries of British troops have been captured by the Boers.

Mining Dumps For Fortifications. New York, January 28d.—“Even if they are now driven back,” says Samuel Stockton, of Johannesburg, who is iu this country waiting for a cessation of hostilities, “I don’t believe that the Boers have as yet fought the great battle of the war, or even that this fight will occur in the mountain passes into their country. Not even Laings Nek is more impregnable than Johannesburg, or, rather than Johannesburg can easily be made to be. Ido not know that it would be strictly correct to say that Johannesburg is naturally defended, and yet her impregnable condition is not due to any effort or intent to make her so, but has come accidentally and as an incident to the mining that has been carried on there: “The Rand belt of mines stretches for a full thirty miles between Jobannesburg and the invading force, at intervale of between a quarter and a half mile apart. At each mine are tailing heaps—that is, the mounds of groundup rock and debris, from which the gold has been extracted. These tailings which are of tremendous hight and breadth and much resemble in size and contour the waste heaps outside of the anthracite coal mines in Pennsylvania are each and all practically impregnable natural forts, while the short distance they lie apart, with cannon mounted on them, would make it absolutely impossible for the British to penetrate between. the products of the yellow metal for 1900 will doubtless closely approximate the compensation of main strength and awkwardness during the ‘Fall of 49 and Spring of 50. When we come to know electricity and liquid air as well as we know the diamond drill and methods of reduction, who shall say that vast ledges now held to be ahsolutely barren of gold will not yield tons and tons of the heavy to get and hard to hold ? “But estimating on the present and almost immediate future, it is safe to count on the year just opening as one of unusual prosperity to’ miners and mine owners. With plenty of water, new men, abundance of capital and the more general appliance of scientific methods to the work of reduction, together with added number of mining enterprises about to commence or already in active operation, throughout the widely extended mining localities, there is no room for doubting that the gold product of California for the year 1900 will be in excess of the higbest ertimates hitherto made.” Mr. Bassett is of the ‘opinion that there will be a vast output of gold from the flelds of the far North, in the Klondike and Cape Nome sections. Mr. Bassett also discusses some new theorjes advanced concerning deposits of gold. Sucoess at Last. Mrs. Styles—You know that Mrs. Price?
