Tonopah Miner, The strike was made

3 feet Of the ore averaged $500 per ton.
What the whole feet, as far as opened
up, will go IN yet question, but this
much Is sure: A sample this week
showed a value OF over Sl,220 per ton,
In spite Of the fact that the most of the
ore so far opened up In the Jumbo has
been what Is called" lowgrade, running
from SO to $50 to the ton, there are
many who have always contended that
there were many shoots Of very rich ore
In the mine, and this strike seems to
strengthen this contention. Cuts and
trenches along the Jumbo ledge show
that there are good values for 500 feet,

CHINA GIVES FORMAL NOTICE
DENOUNCtNG THE EXISTING
EXCLUSION TREATY.
CONVENTION ENDS ON DEC. n NEXT
6TATE DEPARTMENT HAS MADE
STRONG EFFORTS TO KEEP
AGREEMENT ALIVE.

Washington. March 24-The state
department has received formal notice
from the Chinese government de
nouncing the Chinese exclusion treaty
so this convention will expire Dec. q
next unless replaced by another treaty
by that date Under its terms six
months before the expiration of pc
riod of ten years from Dec. 27. 1894
IL either power be dissatisfied with the
treaty. it is required TO denounce 1t.
This is the action which China has
taken in spite of the strongest efforts
to the contrary on the part of the state
department Had the notice not been
served the treaty would have contin-
ued in force for another term of ten
years from Dec 27, 1904. The depart
ment pointed out to the Peking au-
thorities, through Mr.. Conger, that it
was very probable that so far from
bettering the conditions relating to
the admission of Chinese into the
United States the new treaty would
probably have the opposite effect.
Should the new treaty fail of approval
i'm the senate the Chinese would thus
be exposed, in the absence of the shell
tering treaty, to the full rigor of the
Geary and Heinz law and the exclu-
sion would be much more complete
than at present. However, the treaty
having been denounced. there is moth
ing for the state department to do
now but to proceed with the formula
tion of a new treaty, which already has
been initiated in a way, although with
little hope of senatorial approval.

St Petersburg, March 24-Further
details of Tuesdays attack on Port
Arthur are expected during the day,
but nothing in the way of private or
newspaper dispatches supplementing
the official accounts has been received
up TO the present time. According to
information here there now exists a
complete embargo upon newspaper dis

clare that such bombardments only
wear out the guns and machinery of
the ships and waste ammunition with

other hand the Russians had better
luck. shell from the battleship Ret
yizan. which was firing over the hill,
landing on one of the Japanese bat
tleships. OF course il is admitted that
these shots are trying to the garrison.
Vice Admiral Makaroff, the naval
commander at Port Arthur, is being
commended for his self restraint in
not risking his ships in an engage
ment with the enemy.
The feeling here is that the Japanese
tactics are preliminary to landing
on the peninsula in an attempt to cut
off Port Arthur, simultaneously with
general bombardment and COM
mencemens Of siege. For this the
Russians declare they are fully pre-
pared During the last ten days a
general shutting down upon newspa-
per kilograms from the Far East has
been noticeable. This is owing to In
creased precautions to prevent the en-
emy from obtaining news of the move

The Russians are being massed In
force along their first line from Feng
huangcheng northward for thirty
miles. while their second line extends
from Mukden to Haicheng.
