War News of the Week

l HOrJ AfJnur, rep. ZO.-Ine 1Our steamers sent in by the Japanese yes terday morning in an attempt to block the entrance to the port have all been sunk. They are lying in the following positions: One beyond Golden Hill, one near the Retvivan and two be- tween the entrance to the channel and the Leo Thie Shan peninsula. Two ot the vessels are still burning.
 The steamers were accompanied by the torpedo boats.
 The movement was first perceived by the Retvizan, which opened fire and was supported by the guns from the forts.
 A furious cannonade lasted for four hours. i. Failing to effect their purpose, the Japanese flotilla retreated and was pursued by the Russian cruisers Bay an and Novik.
 It is said one of the torpedo boats was sunk.
 PORT ARTHUR FORWARDED.
 St. Petersburg, Feb. 25.-Rumors are current here this evening to the effect that the bombardment of Port Arthur is now going on.
 Major General Pflug, chief of staff with Alexieff, telegraphs as follows under this date.
 Enemy again attacked Port Ar thur, but have been repulsed every where. Details will foIlow.r
 WERE NOT INJURED.
 London, Feb. 25.-The British for eign office has received an official dis patch saying that not one of the Jap anese torpedo boats were injured dur ing the attack lof Port Arthur on Wednesday.
 THIRD ATTACK EXPECTED.
 Tokio, Feb. 25.-Advices are hourly anticipated here of the third naval en- gagement at Port Arthur.
 The Japanese are confident that the place is vulnerable from three points,. The sea side of the city is proof. in their opinicn, against the explosion of shells in the town on an occasion of night fight.
 The Japanese, who once possessed Port Arthur, have most complete in formation regarding the distances and ranges of the city. A bombardment of the place should prove highly des- tructive as it is narrow and cramped.
 As the Japanese shells are very effective, it is believed to be possible to render the harbOr untenable to the Russian warships and lombard ment will force them to put to sea, for an open fight. It is thought here that the withdrawal of Alexief from Port Arthur and the removal of the head quarters and records to Harbin, is an admission of the weakness of the place.
 1t is evident that the Japanese in. tend to make a vigorous onslaught on Port Arthur. Its possession would deprive the Russians of naval base and insure the Japanese of base for future operations on the Lao Tung peninsula

F. E.Jordan expects to leave tomor- row morning for the properties of the Great Republic Mining company which are located on lower Turkey creek, about two miles below Turkey station on the Prescott & Eastern rail road. The new hoistiDg plant has been put in place and is now about ready for operation and Mr. Sullivan. the president of the company, is still in the east where he is selling a Iim- ited amount of stock for the purpose of doing some more development work before the company starts in to take out and ship ore. The Great Repub- lie is said by good reliable men who know something whereof they speak, to be one of the biggest copper and gold propositions in this country for the amount of development that has been done.

A few weeks ago some two or three members of the Rincon Mining com pany, which recently purchased the famous Welcome group of claims near Congress, visited the property and took such glowing accounts of the wealth of the mines back with them that party of wealthy gentlemen of Philadelphia and other eastern cities will arrive here in a few days to see the property. It is the intention of the company to install steam hoist and gasoline hoist on the property at once and also small quartz mill for the purpose of thoroughly testing the needs of the mine. As soon as it has been demonstrated just what is needed in the way of mill and other ma chinery it will be installed and the property rapidly developed into oneTof the big mining propositions of this section.

Wm. ~Gnash, one of the original To- cators and owners of the Pick and Drill group of mining claims in the Agua Fria district, came into Prescott a couple of days ago from the property where he has had small force of men working for some time putting down the new double compartment working shaft on the Hidden Treasure claim of the group The shaft is only ten degrees from perpendicular and is we'll timbered and in splendid condition.
 At depth of about 125 feet the ledge was encountered at what would be equal to 900 feet in depth on the vein. Here the ore gives good values and the ore body is of such an extent that the management is highly pleased with the future prospects of the prop erty. It was first thought advisable to cross cut the ledge at thIs place and explore the ore body to some eX- tent, but Mr Gnash has now decided to sink the shaft on through the ledge and then cross cut to the foot wall at a further depth of fifty or one hun dred feet. Ehe ore is still free mill ing gold. The ore shoot oO this claim has now been opened by three shafts demonstrating its existence for a dis tance of fully 1900 feet. It is fully believed by those acquainted with the property that it will develop into one of the leading mines in that section.

The superintendent brought the good news of having cut the ore chimney they have been drift ing for and therein finding the pre- cioUs metals in abundance. The shoot had just been cut before Mir. Gilmore left the mine, SO that be was unable 10 tell as to the extent of the new ore body, but says that the indications are that the body is a large and very rich one. Assay samples brought in cer- tainly indicate that the ore is rich. The cutting of this new ore body in the Eureka property raises the value of that mine hundreds Tof per cent, demonstrating, as it does, that the property contains an immense body of ore, of a grade that will place the Eul za jn the bonanza class.

TokiO, Feb. 27.-The Japanese have assumed protectorate over Korea in an important protocol signed at Seoul in which it is specifically stipulated by Japan that she will respect Korea's territorial integrity and the sover- eighty of her king and the independ- ence of the country.
 Korea on its part agrees to follow the advice ot Japan internally and abroad and permit Japanese military occupation for the purpose of preserv- ing order and insuring the protection and independence of the country.
 Korea also agrees to refrain from making agreements with other powers in violation of the terms of this pro- tocoI.
 Following this assurances were given respecting the integrity of China, leaving the hands of Japan clear of the question of any conquest in dis puted territory.
 The action undoubtedly strengthens the position of Japan abroad and possibly will have the effect of short ening the war because it places Russia in the position of fighting to hold Manchuria.
 The Japanese troops are already in possession of the country apparently and are in position to resist Rus sia's invasion.
 In spite, however, of Korea's ina bility to offer an opposition in the face of this situation, Japan voluntar- fly offers to guarantee her integrity, and merely assumes a protectorate.
 MAD AT UNCLE SAM.

It makes a bitter at tack on the government at Washing ton, "for this new evidence of the breach of neutrality"
 NO BREACH OF NEUTRALITY.
 New York, Feb. 27.-It was an by the associated press dis patches at Washington on February 24, that the Commercial Cable com pany had addressed inquiries to the government as to whether a permission | could be secured for land on the isl | and ot Guam for cable connecting l with Japan.

sides this, the farmers, rs a class,
