one of the points made by appellants is
that several lienors cannot be in fling
on one claim, as it has been held that
loggers can do, the reason being that the
general statute of 1891 is not applicable,
because not made so in terms by law au-
thorizing farm land owners to assert
liens. For some reason the compiler of
the statutes seems to have omitted sec
ton 1878 of the code therefrom. Refer
ence to the omitted section, which has
not ceased to be law, shows farm la
borers to have all the rights secured to
loggers in the matter of rejoinder of

HOW IAPsCJook PORT ARTHUR

ing CannOuades.

London, Nov. ga dispatch received
here from Hiroshima, Japan, gives the
text of dispatch sent by Admiral Ito,
commander of the Japanese navy, from
Port Arthur Saturday. The dispatch
says
This place was captured by Marshal
Oyama Thursday. The united squad
rons stood off the shore, merely attract
ing the seward attention of the coast
batteries. The Japanese lost $50 men
killed and wounded. The Chinese lost
over 1000"
THE ASSAULT.
The dispatch adds: For over a fort
night past Count Oyama's forces
marched in two divisions down the
peninsula to Port Arthur. No organ
lied resistance was offered by the Chi
nese troops for three-fourths of the
march. Since then, however, there
have been occasional brushes with the
enemy. Early Wednesday morning the
right division crept up a range of low
hills to the northwest of Port Arthur
and carried them with a rush. The
guns were then dragged up and fire
opened on the strong redoubt, 1000
yards distant. The enemy returned the
fire briskly. The Japanese infantry ad-
out faltering.
Shortly before o'clock the fort was
carried by storm in most gallant fash
ion. The Chinese stood for a minute or
two against the final onslaught. Then
they fled toward the dockyard. The
right division then advanced in force
against Kol<in San fort, which was
armed with several heavy Krupp guns
which were well served. Scores of men
were killed or wounded in this brief adj
vance. At noon the fort itself was
stormed and captured after short but
desperate firing. By o'clock III the af-
ternoon the right division was in full
possession of the western part of the
stronghold.
LEFT DIVISIONS WORK.
Meanwhile the left division had been
fercely engaged on the southwest
where the ground was least difficult
but far from easy. Their progress was
momentarily checked by the heavy fire
from three forts that were connected by
trenches. These forts were strongly
held and were well placed on the highest
ground in the vicinity. BY evening
Port Arthur was in possession of the
Japanese but the enemy still had some
eight or 10 redoubts with a total of
about 20 guns on the coast line. -.
Japanese bivouaclSed on the hills and
captured the forts.
Early Thursday morning Lao Mu and
the upper forts were attacked in sue
cession, all being captured with serious
loss on the Japanese side. Several
thousand Chinese were taken prisoners.
The Japanese have taken GO guns and
mortars that We're in use In the cap
tured forts and redoubts and many 9TH
ers that We're found In the dockyard.
They also captured an immense guam
tity of ammunition, completely equip
ped torpedo stores and large quantities
| of rice and beans.

MOUNT TACOMA WAS ALL THERE
The Monarch of The Range Seen by Hun
dreds of People Sunday.

Tacoma, Nov. 25.-The clouds lifted
this afternoon leaving Mount Tacoma
in sight. A thick cap appeared over
the mountain for a time, but at 4:3O p.
M had entirely disappeared. No break
in the crater rim was visible from here.
DR.. Culver local weather observer,
thinks the cap was of vapor and mist,
such as frequently collects about the
mountain, and not smoke or steam.
Many people viewed the mountain with
glasses, while it was visible. There Is
no doubt as reported in these dispatch
es, that a number of people believed
they saw smoke coming from the crater
Wednesday morning, but that they are
of the opinion that what they witnessed
was vapor blown about by the heavy
winds in a manner to resemble smoke
or steam. The heavy cap which hung
over the mountain early in the week,
indicated to careful observers the heavy
rainstorm which prevailed Friday and
Saturday.

In consequence. At the time of the
strike the mine was employing $50 men.
and the mill so more.

ager Bradley refused tc give employ
ment to union miners or to pay more
than 50 per day for carmen and show
elers He established an agent in
Spokane and from time to time picked
up enoughnon- union men to work the
mine.
The union then set about the work
of regaining possession of the mine, and
gave permission to its members to
work in the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
at the wages scheduled by the manage
ment. 1t obtained a slight foothold,
and several months ago started a
movement to demand the wages paid
on Canyon creek-namely. $3.50 per day

to these conditions and the walkout was

keep the mine going. and all work was
suspended.
No one can say where the strike will
end. The strikers claim that the mine

Mine OF Value.
Wenatchee, Nov. developments of
concentrates from the Golden Star
quartz mine, located two miles from
Wenatchee, are now being made daily
to Everett. Development work on this
property has been quietly going on all
summer, but for some reason parties in
terested have not been disposed to give
any information concerning the mines.
We just learn from reliable sources
that the concentrates now being shipped
yield $95 per ton, which, when conslde.
ing that the supply is inexhaustible.
and within two miles of the railroad,
would lead one to think that Wenatchee
is strictly in it as a mining country
Prospectors from the Squaw creek and
Methow mining regions are arriving
daily either for supplies or to seek win
ter quarters. Careful investigation
from the best informed and most relia-
BILE sources justifes the prediction that
Wenatchee win be the Quitting point
for extensive mining operations early
in the spring. Development work on
several claims has already progressed
so far as to encourage the proprietors
to order suitable machinery and to pro-
vide for handling the ore to the best ad-
vantage.
