AS KUROpATKIN DESIRES.
He Wires the Gar He Is Glad the Jap-
anese Have Crossed the Yalu.

Paris, May 4.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Echo de Paris in
a dispatch this morning. says a high
officer of the general staff made the fol-
lowing statement to him:
General Kouropatkin has telegraph
ed the emperor expressing satisfaction
that the Japanese have crossed the
Yalu, because this lengthens their line
of operations. whereas the Russians
are approaching their base.
General Kouropatkin will probably
allow General Kuroki's 10000 men to
advance and attempt the siege of Port
Arthur, but General Smyrnoff and Gen.
eral stoessel are disposing of the 49,
600 men under their command so as
not to allow the japanese to reach that
place.

GOLD IN GREAT LUMPS.
Rich Pocket Struck In the Bonanzs
Mine, In Eastern Oregon.

A~AAeSsAA<sA
Mine, In Eastern Oregon.
Baker City-A wonderfully rich
strike is said to have been made in the
Bonanza mine in the Greenhorn dis
trict recently. A pocket of very rich
ore was opened upon the 1200-foot
level, out of which less than five tons
of ore were taken which is reported to
have yielded $o4 900 in gold bullion.
1t is against the policy of the mine
owners to give out any facts about rich
strikes of this nature, and it is only in
a roundabout way that anything can be
learned about the opening of the
pocket.
1t is unusual to find such rich pock-
cts so far below the surface. The old
Virtue mine, near this city. has the
best record for rich pockets, but they
have all been found near the surface
and uusally by professional pocket
hunters, who make it their business to
search for these phenomenally rich de-
posits.
1t has always been the theory of ex-
perts that while rich ore might be en-
countered in the depths, that there
never would be any 'pockets, as the
term is usually understood, found be-
low 500 feet from the surface.
The Bonanza has been yielding stead
lily for several months, since the new
three compartment shaft was sunk to
the S00-foot level, about year ago
This strike will encourage deep mining
in this part of the state, something that
has not been attem pied until within
the past two years.

More Butter From TiIlamook.

Observation-Disclosures county's out
put of dairy products will be much
larger this year than formerly, owing
to the quantity of excellent grass feed
now on the grazing lands. The late
season delayed the grass growth for a
time, but the herds and especially the
milch cows are now in good condition.

 Prattville, May 24.-(Special) )--The remains of Mrs. Claude W. Smith of this place reached here this forenoon from Tuskegee where she died last night. She leaves an infant a few days old. Mrs. Smith was well known at this place and Montgomery. as she was frequent visitor to both places prior to her marriage with Claude W. Smith. This sad event cast much gloom over this community, the deceased having many relatives and friends through out the county.
 Crops in this section, since the rains more than a week ago, are doing we'll There are some complaints about cool nights, but farmers are busy cultivat- ing both corn and cotton. Cats are be- ing cut with fairly good grain, the only complaint being the stalk is too short in some places to save with ease. The recent rains will cause late oats to mature with a heavier grain. Three or four progressive farmers have proved to every one disposed to doubt that peaches can be grown in l this section as successfully as they can in any part of the United States. J. W. Young, who owns a small orch ard just east of Prattville has shipped to date something like two hundred | crates of peaches that cannot be sur passed in flavor anywhere. He has also shipped several lots of vegetables during the present season.
