Chefoo, Nov. 1.-The general as

when, according to hitherto infallible
authority, the Japanese flung heavy
forces against the fortress In a third
attempt to secure a commanding posi-
ton. The result OF the early fighting
was unknown up to noon Monday. The
japanese have been preparing for this
assault for a month. It is believed the
japanese did not expect to capture
the town on this occasion. but to make
another important step forward. This
plan was adopted following the first
assault. when 1000 lives were sacrificed

opinion of experts, the assault will
cease when the japanese have secured
such positions as to enable them 10

two more general assaults will be nee
essary before the distance between the
belligerent lines is sufficiently short to
make the attempt to enter the main
forts and end the siege practically.
On Oct. "a. after having made every
possible preparation. the Japanese
opened fire with artillery along the
whole line. incidentally continuing the
daily practice Of dropping shells into
harbor. The Russians replied. sounds

calves firm at $5.5O to $6.50, can ners hard to sell at any price, fat bulls $2.75 to $4.0O. In spite of disappointing beef cattle market, there are enough cattle feeders with confidence in future prices to clean up the supply ofstockers and feeders from day to day, at present strong prices, s3.00 to s4.0O, a shade higher than week ago. Stock she stuff and feeding bulls range from $2O0 to $275, stock calves $2.50 to $3.75.
 Hog prices continue to fuctuate mildly around the $4.60 mark for the best heavy hogs. Packing weights, 190 to 250 lb, sell at s4.40 to $4.55, pigs and lights s3.S5 to $4.45. As long as the price in the countrf is $400 or more receipts are liberal, but each break shuts off the run. Packers want the hogs, and it is thought prices will go no lower at present.
 Muttons and lambs have sold 20 to 30 cents higher this week than last. The stiff prices are partly result of snapps competition, and partly to attract bigger receipts, as packers want more stuff. Best lambs sell at $500 to $665, yearl- ings $500 to $5.25, wethers S4.75 to $500, native ewes up 10 S4.75, Westerns $4.00 to S4.40 No feed- ing sheep or lambs have been re- ceived this week.

WAYSlDE NOTES.
Prom page l.

Toledo, the seat of the smelter of the Yaqui Smelling & Refining Company, two leagues below San Antonio, we reached at six o'clock in the evening. We found there Mir. Marion s. Mccarthy, who was metallurgist for the company when the furnaces were in operation, and is making the place his headquar- teTs at present, while prospecting in the vicinity; and we were heart fly welcomed by the gentleman who cordially extended us very hospitality.
 Mr. John Cleayer, superinten- dent of the Libertad mine, was also at Toledo, on business, returning to his own camp the following day. @
 The extensive plant of the Ya qui Smelling x Refining Company, which was given full description in the columns of TIE OASIS when it was iD course of construction, was completed in March last, and was in successful operation. With the hot weather 1t closed down, and has not yet resumed operations. Mir. A. E. Klauser, the president, and Mr. H. .. Gerber, the man. ager, are expected shortly from their homes in Toledo, Ohio, when they will again blow in the furnace and resume operations perman- ently.
 Mr. Mccarthy assured me that the furnaces worked successfully with both the natural coke from La Barranca and with coal. They found the latter somewhat more satisfactory, there being smaller per centage of ashes, and conse- quently more heat in the coal
 While it had been the intention of Mr. Morley to go to La Dura with me thence to La Bufa, 1t was considered advisable that he save a day, cross the river at Tonichi, a league above Toledo, and go thence directly to La Bufa, via Rancho Milpias and Santa Rosa. So NC engaged | guide and Thursday morning we parted, and he set his face to the eastward. He had proved a very pleasant travelling companion, and with him in com pal Y the lonely mountain trails proved any thing but irksome. He had been in Japan, China, the Philippines and in Europe; and his fund of remniscence Is varied and interesting, He is going to visit in La Bufa a few days with a college chum, Mr. George Gage and then return to Arizona, thence to California.
