St. Petersburg, Oct 25.--The rela-

An Associatde Press dispatch from
Mukden reports that the Japanese are
fortifying an important height south
of Shakhe and that neither side shows
a disposition either to advance or to
retire.
This meager but significant admis-
sion, all that the censor allows to

ing his forces in readiness for another
attempt to break the Japanese resist
ance. The roads are now dried by
wind and frosts; the cold is intense
and flooded fields have been frozen.
Thus military movements are facili-
tated. though at the same time it will
be more difficult to carry on entrench-
ing work.
An Associated Press dispatch from
the Russian front gives rumor that
the Russian force has made detour
to the west, arriving abreast of Lao
yang, but there is no confirmation of
these reports.
Great Importance is attached to
report from Toxic that 200 Russians
have crossed the Taitze river east of
Bensihu, and that 10000 are concen-

Whatever Kuropatkin's ultimate OBJ

he is DESTROYS Of obtaining the most

and disposition Of the force opposing
his eastern flank. The Cossacks may
be relied upon to harass the Japanese
line of communication, besides recon

General Kuropatkin is with the CEN

personally conveyed the congratula-
tons of Emperor Nicholas to Colonel
Putiloff and the Ninth rifles for the
capture Of Lone Tree hill.
The Japanese estimate that the Rus
sian losses in the battle Of Shakhe
amount to 10000, is not confirmed
here. A telegram from Hardin reports
the passage north of $4,000 wounded.
The remainder, who are quartered In
hospitals at Mukden, can not exceed
a few thousand.
Lieutenant General Rezvy, COM

Correspondent Inq uires Of Their
Utility for Making Cement.
A correspondent writing to the Query
Department Of the Mining and Scientific
Press relative to the Eureka Stag dumps
is answered under the head "Concen-
trates' IN that Journal of April %:
Regarding the old Stag dumps at
Eureka, Nevada. they could be un-
doubleday utilized. as suggested by our
correspondent, in the manufacture Of
Portland cement, but transportation
would interfere with the commercial
side of the idea. Any big deposit" or
accumulation of furnace Stag, the same
as at Eureka, is susceptible Of similar
disposition. But the materials for manu-
facture of Portland cement are so plen-
tiful, cheap and widespread that it is
doubtful If the Eureka Stag dumps,
though rich in lime, iron and man.
ganese, which take the place Of silicate
Of alumina. could be brought in success
full competition with more centrally
located sources of supply. "Concen-
~trates" suggests, however, that q more
probable source of profit would suggest
itself in such cases as that cited by our
Eureka correspondent in making what
is sometimes called mineral wool" out
of those Stag dumps-blowing it into
long, fine strings Of substance having
sale in a variety Of ways in industrial
arts.
