"I think ho Is too feeble to attempt any

"Do the Uoers ask for absolute liberty
as a stipulation ot peace?"
"Thnt Is too strong a phrase," Mr. White
answered. "Wo heard some tlmo ago that
General Kitchener demanded unconditional
surrender nnd llotha demanded absolute
liberty; but thoso terms are too extreme.
I can only say that the Iloers would rather
die fighting than give unconditional sur

ln substance Dr. Lyman said he was roii
mlcnt that tho International Zinc properties
could be put on a puling basis again and
that ho himself, ns tho largest stockholder,
was moro Interested than anyone else lu
their rehabilitation. '
"It Is as much an engineering as n fluau
cial problem," ho said. "I know that the
Blue Wing mines arc now operating at a.
profit and that the advancing price of zlns
ennnot help stimulating tho business. The
end of thu South African war will bring
about still further Improvement. I can see
no reason why the company should continue
long ln the hands of a receiver. I under-
stand that tharo aro parties now .willing
to lease some of the mines at good Ilgures.
"I have already offered to assist tho ro-
orgaulzatlon committee lu any way possl-
ble. My offer was ignored. If they submit
a practicable plan I shall certainly co-
operato In every way possible. Without m
I doubt If they can obtain a majority or
