PORT ARTHUR AGAIN
Persistent Reports Of Another Assault
Circulated
FIGHT IN PROGRESS OR IMMINENT
Adyices From chefoo to the Effect
That Grand Assault is Now TAX
ina Place, or Will Occur Very
Shortly.

Chefoo, BY Cable.-Local students oi
the military situation at Port Arthur,
basing their deductions upon recent
DEVELOPMENT there, are Of the opinion
that another grand assault is either oc-
curing at the present time or is immi-
nent. This opinion is based on the very
heavy bombardment of the Russian
stronghold that occurred on Sept. loth'
for such a bombardment forms the usu-
al prelude to an assault; on the arriVai
here of important messengers from
Port Arthur at a time when the run
ming of the blockade is extremely per-
ilous: on a recent authoritative state
ment that Japanese siege works are
completed, and on reports from Japa-
nese sources that at Port Dalny an as
salt was expected to take place IN =
few days. These reports were received
last week.
In addition to the foregoing there Is
the common knowledge that the Japan
csc realize that their continued mac
t:yity increases the resisting OF the
Russian garrison, and their consequent
desire to make such period OF inacti'-
ity as brief as possible.
Why Kuroki Failed.
London. BY Cable.-The Times cor
respondent with General kurokl IN q
dispatch dated Lao Yang. Sept. T. ana
a. the conclusion of a long account OF
the battle there, says:
General Kuroki's flank movement
failed owing to the tactics OF General
KurQpatkin, who trusted the half OF
lis army would suffice to hold the jap
snese south of the Taitse river. HIS
forces were so strongly posted and he
nossessed such secure line OF retreat
that the soundness Of the course adopt
cd must appeal to tacticians. In any
case it upset the calculations OF the
Japanese. who counted upon compara-
lively feeble resistance to their flank
ing movement. There are indications
to show that while the Russians con-
templated a determined effort at checK
they feared throwing down the gaunt-
let and fighting a pitched battle. Iney
mad very small reserve supplies at Lao
Yang. trusting to the railway for sup
r!ies. The proof of this is that they lett
practically nothing for the japanese
captured sufficient to supply tnelr
army only for one day. After the Rus
sian retirement to the east bank OF tne
river their position presented scene OF
carnage unparalleled in European war
fare. A remarkable feature OF the
fighting on the flank was the evidence
that the Japanese proved the value OF
their lines as compared with heavy con
tinental formations. The Russian
LACK of dash indicated prudence
against jeopardizing their ritirement.

French Of Idaho.
His Mastery Argument Before the
Public Land Commettee Against
Repeal Of Timber and
Stone. Act.

The defeat of the proposed measure
repeating the Timber and Stone Act, is
received throughout Idaho with general
satisfaction. Besides the qualification
caused throughout the west by the de-
feat of this nefarious measure it's dis
cussiop has served the further good
purpose of bringing to the attention of
the voters of Idaho the singularly able
and effective argument made against it
by Barton l.. French, our bright young
Representative in the lower House.
whose speech we publish in part; said
Mr.. French:
while at the present time we have
an honorable man as Secretary of the
Interior, this law in its application
during future years might make poss-
IDLE the preparation of great frauds.
There are 500, 900, 900 acres of unpatrnt-
ed land belonging to the government.
There is no means of knowing exactly
how many acres of this land are covered
with timber. This does not include
Alaska, which contains something like
400, 900, 900 acres of unpatented land.
In Idaho there are over IL, 900, 900 acres
of unpatented land, in Oregon over
%, 900, 900 aeress in Washington 9, 900, 900
acres, and in California over Sc, 900, 900
acres, making a total in these four
states Ill, 900, 900 acres of unpatented
land, part of which is heavily timbered.
81 believe that it would be conser-
vative estimate to say that one-fifth of
the unpatented land, is covered with
timber. Assuming this to be correct.
the timberrd area is 20, 900, 900 acres.
1t this timber is worth only 81 an acre.
under this law you have turned over to
the arbitrary discretion of the secretary
Of the interior, under regulations that
may be prescribed by him, 500, 900, 900.
If it is worth S. an acre, you have
turned over 800, 900, 900. If it is worth
go an acre, you have turned over 5000,
)0O,O 900. Therefore it seems to me that
his law, if it is to be law, should be
little more closely safeguarded, in
rider that these lands may be handled
the possibility of a fraud. l
question the advisability of delegating
% much property to the discretion, not
o speak of the honor, of one official.
Under this bill it is proposed to turn
ver without limitation all the timber
# the government domain to the hands
# one man.

as we know them to be that this camp
needs and which will attract attention
to our district, and bring our wonderful
mineral resources prominently before
the mining world.
Mr.. Sweeny says he has, iiieyer lost
interest in Idaho county's mining poss-
Utilities, and explains his three years
absence by saying that prices and terms
were such as to be practically prohibit
i've for him to become personally inter-
ested after severing his connection
with the Buffalo Hump company and
became associated with his present COM
pany; consequently he was compelled to
look for fields that offered better in
ducements, even though they were not
quite so inviting. This field he found in
California, where his company has in
vested considerable money, and now own
very valuable property.
Mr.. Sweeny is possessed of what Mr..
Dooly would call great control of lang
uage-he seldom let's any of it escape
him. We are prepared to admit that
this is q. very good trait, but in the in
terests of the camp we hope he will be
more communicative and let the mining
world know what he sees in Elk City
district; and what is going on about us.
To that end the MINING NEWS cordial
ly extends the use of it's columns to Mr.
Sweeny, or any other reputable mining
man DESTROYS of bringing 20 the atten-
rion ofthe mining world the great min
eral resources Of central Idaho.

other is interested in this question; am
opposed to the passage of the bill. If
it must pass It should not be in its
present form. 1t should be amended.
1t should be safeguarded by careful
wording so as to prevant any possible
fraud in disposing of this valuable

pie of this country, should see that
their interests are protected"

This district is to be congratulated
upon the advent of our mutual friend,
M. j. Sweeny, into its mining life, who,
being associated with Andrew Prader,
and number of solid business men
in the east, make combination which
will warrant the brightest expectations
for the camps future prosperity.
1t is just such progressive mining men

Withdrawal In Sight.

Mr.. Pinchot's letter to Senator
Dubois to the effect that the Bu-
reau of Forestry would recon-
mend the withdrawal of certain
portions of the Bitter Root For
est Reserve, indicates that the
exceptions to the present system
of administering those reserves
taken by the MINING NEWS and
the people of Elk City, have fin
ally been heard and are going to
be needed by the administration.
Unfortunately it does not ap-
pear in Mr.. Pinchot's letter how
great a scope of territory will be
included in his forthcoming re-
concentrations, but in the inter-
est of peace and harmony as we'll
as the unobstructed progress of
the mining industry in Idaho, the
MINING NEWS hopes it will COM
Prise the entire section asked in
the original petition, or at the
very least the mining districts
already organized now within the
boundaries of the reserve, as in
our opinion, nothing less would
be of any practical or lasting
benefit to the people most con-
cerned. Mining cannot prosper
as it should under such abnormal
conditions as those imposed by
the forest reserve system with
its inevitable train of bureau
Matched rules and regulations and
their enforcement by agents who
are more or less alien, so far as
sympathy is concerned, to the
people who are compelled to live
under those rules. And did we
need any further argument to
strengthen our position in this, it /
is furnished us by Mr.. Pinchot
when he says in his letter to Sen
ator Dubois: Most of the trouble
IN this region comes from unnec-
essary restrictions in the rules
and regulations and the unwise
application of them"
Mr.. Pinchot is of course right
as far as he goes, but strangely
enough he seems unable to grasp
the fact that government super
vision appliedato private enter
prise is logically bound in time to
produce rules and regulations
which no American worthy the
name will submit to without a
scrap.
The foregoing self evident truth
was the reason why the people
OF Elk City, through their COM
mittee, the MINING NEWS, and :
their delegation to Congress, ask Z
ed that they be withdrawn from :
the forest reserve and replaced .

tobacco ever made in the west by a
cigar manufacturer was made last
Wednesday by Frank P. Lewis, Peoria,
