Based on this estimate, the amount for the entire year ending June 30 next, will reach above an increase of 8500,000 over last year. From now on, the rolls will not increase except occasionally. On the other hand, they are certain to decrease and more rapidly, too, as the years roll by.

There seems to be something in the air this week among the smelting concerns and the buyers are bidding up on the ore, says the Globe. The Illinois and Edgar Zinc companies are among those who are forcing the price and the other buyers will have to fall in line if they get their quota of ore.

The first sale reported at an advance was that of the Owl at Belleville, which sold a car Monday at 828 per ton and this was followed by other sales at an advance.

THEY PLEADED GUILTY. It has turned out that when Officers Heady and Young conceived the idea of arresting the two men that rolled off the main line Frisco passenger train at the Fourteenth street station at Joplin in the gray morning hours last Monday, they performed the luckiest stroke that as marked their connection with the Joplin police force. By the inspiration that came to these officers that the two strangers were crooked they not only achieved the distinction of landing two of the worst criminals in the country, but added the snug sum of 8200 to the bank account of each one of them. Marshal Durham arrived in the city yesterday morning and immediately took charge of the prisoners. In the afternoon Commissioner Roper arrived from Carthage and Assistant Post-office Inspector Stice from Galena.

As all the witnesses were present from Altamont it was decided to pro-eeed with that ease at once. The prisoners were held on an information charging them with robbing the post-office at Seneca. None of the witnesses were present from Seneca, however, so they were discharged on this information and re -arrested on a charge of robbing the postoffice at Altamont. To this they pleaded guilty. Commissioner Roper announced that he would hold them to await the action of the federal grand jury that meets at Fort Scott in May.

It is understood here that, although General Dewet, at his recent interview with General Botha, refused to surrender, General Botha, regarding him as irresponsible, undertakes to negotiate in behalf of the entire Boer forces. Te British authorities here consider that, if General Botha surrenders, Dewet's following can be easily taken.
