WILL PROBABLY
PUT IN SPUR.

J. Win Wilson, general manager of
the Listen Lake, reports that The
crosscut from the fifty foot level has
entered the vein distance of twenty
two feet without encountering wall.
Mr.. Wilson came in last night from
the property.
The width of the vein Is not
known, bu. from the cropping 1t Is
judged to be between fifty and sixty
feet wide. All the ore disclosed so
far, Mr.. Wilson says, will pay to
mill. The values are in gold, copper
and silver, with good per cent of
copper.
1t Is the intention of the company,
Mr.. Wilson states. later on when the
Upton extension Is completed. to
put in spur to the mine, a distance
of about four miles. This will give
direct transportation to the Sumpter
smelter.

tempt been made to justify the firing
upon innocent fishermen. 1t is felt
that Rojestvensky is too good a man
1t is agreed that he is entitled to a
hearing, but even the Admiralty re-
gretfully admits that it is at a loss
to understand what explanation could
justify such an apparently coldblooded
act as the affair is made to appear by
foreign reports.
1t developed during the day that the
Admiralty had strong reason to believe
that an attempt would be made against
the squadron during its passage
through the Great Belt or the English
Channel So specific was the informa-
ton that even the present crisis has
not diverted attention from the pos
sibilfty of such an attack yet occurring.
The failure of the steam trawlers, with
their nets out, to obey the signals from
the Russian warships or the nervous
ness of some officer who imagined that
fishermen working with their nets in
the water were laying mines may have
been responsible for the blunder.
AS soon as the facts are established
Ii is certain that the Russian Govern
ment will voluntarily offer the fullest
reparation. 1t is limited that the En-
peror tomorrow will send a formal
message to King Edward conveying
his profound sorrow for the incident
and offering to make what PREPARATION
is possible as soon as the responsibility
can be fixed. These advance assur-
ances, it is hoped will be met in an
amicable spirit by Great Britain.

EXPECTED A NIGHT ATTACK.
RojestvensIy Informed That Japanese
Were Aiming Fishing Boats.

PARIS, Oct. 24.-The action of the
Russian second Pacific squadron in
firing on and sinking British fishing
boats has reused intense interest in
official circles and among the public
generally here. The officials say that
Russia will undoubtedly make an i'm
mediate explanation and apology and
pay an ample indemnity. While it is
said that this will probably relieve the
affair from grave International results,
yet, the officials say, it will further
strain the relations between Great
Britain and Russia and emphasize the
growing animosity of the British peo-
pie against Russia.
AT the Russian embassy it is ex-
planned that the squadron at Port
Arthur has been reproached for lack
of diligence, resulting in the initial
disaster. This led to the adoption of
measures of extreme precaution. The
Russian authorities recently were in
formedNthat the Japanese spy service
was organizing, particularly at Stock
holm, plans for arming merchantmen
and fishing boats for the purpose of
torpedoing the Russian ships. The
Russian officers fully expected such
attacks and therefore were constant
ly looking out for floating mines and
other destructive agencies. 1t is also
declared that Japanese were detected
prowling near the Russian hospital
ship Orel at Toulon.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. IA re-
markable study of the war and its
problems by M. Petrousskevitch. a
well known writer, appears in the
Pravo, a weekly paper, and is attract
ing a good deal of attention. He bold
ly maintains that Russia's reverses
are due to the restrictions placed on
the liberties of the nation, declaring
that whatever the outcome of the
struggle with Japan, Russia will win a
victory for constitutionalism. He
adds:
The war has glaringly revealed the cause OF
the evil and has showed the hopeless condi-
ton to which great nation may be brought
by the derivation OF all freedom of thought.
feeling and action. The bureaucracy, possess
ing all the strings of irresponsible power, keeps
the people under tutelage which has never
attained such proportions. has never with such
arbitrary methods fouted the law and never
made the country feel it's power painfully,
during the past few years.
Such outspoken criticism would
never have been permitted under the
Won Plehwe regime. The newspaper
which publish the article have not a
word in defense of the bureaucracy,
but they do indorse the prospects of a
constitution, the Sviet pointing out
that Emperor Nicholas manifesto for
mally declared his intention Of up
holding autocrocy and that Interior
Minister Mirsky is pledged to the
manifesto.

RUSSIAN ARMY ADVANCING.

Kuropatkin's Left Columns Again
Gross the Shalxhe River.
MUKDEN, Oct. 24.-The Russian
forces on the left again crossed the
Shakhe River on October II, and are
now pushing forward toward the jap
anese positions, entrenching as they
advance At the same time Russian
batteries are continually bombarding
the Japanese, who can be plainly seen
busily engaged in the making OF
trenches.
This plan OF the Russians, to en-
trench as they advance, was adopted
because it was found in the recent big
battle that it was impossible to adj
vance without some protection in the
face of the Japanese shrapnel fire.
The Russian batteries are now bet
ter screened than they were in former
engagements. but the troops on both
sides, apparently, make no great ef-
forts to conceal themselves.
The Russian and j. panese armies
are now separated by less than four
miles and the whole field of operations
of both armies can be plainly seen.
The question of fuel is becoming a
serious one. The greater part of the
Chinese corn has already been used for
fuel and for fodder, while most Of the
houses in the Chinese villages have
been destroyed and their wood used for
fuel. without fuel and without shelter
beyond that provided by tents, 1t
seems impossible for the armies to re-
main in the field during the increasing
cold weather.

DEMANDS OF BRITISH PRESS.
Editorials Insist Upon Punishment of
Russian Officers.

Editorials Insist Upon Punishment of
Russian Officers.
LONDON, Oct. 24.-The feature of the
editorial articles in the newspapers this
morning is practically unanimous de-
mand that the Government insist upon
the punishment of the Russian officers
responsible for the Dogger Bank affair
as the only possible assurance against
recurrence of the kind. Without this,
1t is argued, the seas will be unsafe for
any peaceful vessel
King Edwards telegram characteriz-
ing the affair as "unwarrantable'' Is
considered to reflect we'll the national
temper and the fact that his Majesty
has taken the unusual course to thus
interfere in diplomatic matter gives
the greatest satisfaction, as emphasize
ing the exceptionally grave nature of
the crisis.
Regret is expressed that there should
have been any demonstration against
Count Benckendorff, the Russian EN-
bassador, who personally is credited
Britain. The Standard declares that
such a foolish demonstration is not
worth talking about.
The Daily News claims to have OBJ
tanned the following statement from
Count Benckendorff:
Il am Ill with the fatigue Of q long
journey and anxiety, but 1 authorize
you to say for me to the people of Eng
land that / am absolutely certain that
what occurred was q deplorable acct
dent and nothing else. My regret and
my country's regret it is, I am sure.
