AS WAR PROGRESSES.
Summary Of What Armies Did Last
Week.

Week.
The week opened with news that
the Russian garrison at Port Arthur
was fighting desperately to retake the
two forts which command the towns
water supply. Later it was asserted
by the Russians that the loss of these
forts was not vital, as the garrison
had many wells and springs, and also
plant for condensing sea water.
From ST. Petersburg, Sunday, came
semiof1cial announcement that Gen
eral Kuropatkin would be appointed
commander in chief of all the armies
now in Manchuria and yet to be dis
patched there, and that Generals Mey-
erberg, Grippenberg and Linevitch
would command armies under him.
That would give Kuropatkin a rank
like that of Field Marshal Oyama, who
commands all the Japanese forces in
Manchuria, with Kuroki, Oku and Nod
zu commanding armies under him. La
ter dispatches, though, indicate that
there was still some doubt about the
supreme command Of the Russian ar
mics.
The Russian scouts lost touch with
General Kurokis army early in the
week, and considerable uneasiness was
felt in st. Petersburg, where it was
feared that Kuroki had slipped away
on another great fianking movement.
The alarm was short lived, for the
Russians again got in touch with him
a few hours later, finding that his
position had not been materially al
tered.
1t developed during the week that
the main Russian army had with
drawn from Mukden and was concen-
trating at Tie pass, or Telling, north
of Mukden. Early in the week the
Japanese were reported to be active
west of Mukden, and there were sew
eral clashes between the cavalry Of
the opposing armies, but nothing more
serious than outpost skirmishes.
A growing belief is reported among
the Japanese people that their forces
will storm and take Port Arthur on
October 10.
Reports from Toxic and Chefoo, on
Thursday, that a great naval battle
had been fought off Port Arthur, were
denied the following day.
Emperor Nicholas received, Thurs
day, General Stoessel's official report
of the desperate four days assault by
Japanese on the forts at Port Ar
thur. He reported that the Japanese
losses between September 10 and %
were 10000. This corroborates pre-
vious reports brought to Chefoo by
Chinese escaping from Port Arthur.
The tone of General Stoessel's dis
patch was courageous and hopeful.
and hope revived in St. Petersburg
that the garrison might yet hold out
until the first of next year.
Interest was revived in the Baltic
squadron by an official statement by
the Russian admiralty that the squad
ron was about to sail for the Pacific.
Russian newspapers declare that the
war must be fought to the bitter end
until the Japanese have been driv-
en- from the continent of Asia.

HEATH WINS Auro RACE.
One Man Is Killed, One Injured, in
the Contest.

New York.-George Arents, a New
York millionaire, lies dying in hos
pital in Long Island, and his chauf-
feur, Carl Meusel, is dead, as result
of the race for the cup offered by w.
X. Vanderbilt, Jr.
Arents' car was wrecked by the
tires slipping. The chauffeur was TAX
en- to hospital horribly mangled, and
he died half an hour later. Arents
was also taken to hospital, where it
was found he was suffering from a
cerebral hemorrhage, and at an early
hour he was not expected to live. His
family had been summoned to his bed
side.
The committee considering the pro-
test lodged by M. Clement disallowed
the protest. Heath, who finished first,
was declared the winner.
Four wheeled vehicles of all sorts OF
incongruous shapes rushing along the
road at a speed of from 60 to 80 miles
an hour, the air resounding with the
''honk, honk," of horns, the changing
of bells and the shouting of guards,
signal flags waving and fiuttering, and
an occasional cheer from thousands
of threats, stirred the atmosphere in
Mineola, Hampstead, Garden City and
other Long Island suburbs of Greater
New York during the 800 mile auto
mobile race for the w. K. Vanderbilt,
Jr.. cup.

Handsome Home Burned.

The residence at Tarrytown, N. y,
of M. Rumsey Miller, lawyer of New
York, has been destroyed by fire. The
place was one of the handsomest in
Tarrytown. Only a few jewels were
saved. Mr.. Miller is an invalid from
paralysis and was removed with great
difficulty. He suffered from the shock,
and is said to be in serious condition.
Miss Louise Miller was married on
Tuesday, and her wedding presents
were destroyed. The loss is estimated
at 100000.

land says: Shipped from the mine
to the Northport smelter during past
month, 1912 tons of specially selected
ore, containing 41O5 ounces of gold,
.3911 ounces of silver and 10000 lbs
of copper. Estimated profit on this
ore, after deducting cost of mining,
smelling, realization and depreciation,
$28,500; expenditure on development
work during the month, $780,"
The Cariboo Consolidated company,
which is carrying on hydraulic opera
tions on a very large scale at Bullion,
Cariboo, will very likely raise quar-
ter of million more capital, to be
expended in bringing more water into
its reservoirs.
Men are preparing the Snowshoe's
machinery in the compressor building
for use. This will be completed prob
ably some time next week.
Ore shipments from Rossland camp
for the past week are: LIE Roi, 2525
tons; Center Star, 1440; War Eagle,
ITO; LIE Roi No. 2, $50; Jumbo, 300;
Velvet-Portland, milled, go; White
Bear, milled, 100; View, 80; total,
4305 tons; year to date, 269,607 tons.
The View is old property now under
lease to Eric Stevenson. 1t is pro-
ducing high grade copper ore, and is
likely to ship steadily for a long Pc
Rod. Rainfall during the week was
unusually welcome, and the water sup
ply for mining and milling is substan-
TALLY increased. It is believed that
the long drought is now broken.
The deal pending for bond on the
Skylark claim, two miles from Phoe-

sent to empty the shaft!

it can ship almost any amount of ore
daily which may be desired.

100000 for the realty and $4,000 for

The machinery sold to outside bid

one high speed engine used to run two
dynamos, realizing only $2250.

Men Score Victory north Of Muk-
den.


st. Petersburg, Oct. 11.-General
Kuropatkin's order of the day, an.
nouncing his determination to take the
offensive, is supplemented by the news
that an offensive movement has al
ready been begun and that the Japan
csc line had been broken at Bentsia-
putze. Inc Japanese occupied front
of about 81 miles, stretching from
Bentsiaputz, on the east, through Yen
tai and across the railroad to the
banks of the Hun river on the west
The Russian forces had been moving
south in close touch with the Japanese
advance since OCTOBER A. The Japan
ese outposts were driven back In
series of skirrnishes, and ON October
6 the Russians reoccupied the station
Of Shakhe, Is miles south OF Mukden,
the railway battalion restoring the
bridge across the Shakhe river the
next day in order to facnllate the ad-
vance. Meanwhile General Mistch-
enko's Cossacks pushed southwest
ward as far as the Yentai mines. de-
feating the Japanese in series Of
skirmishes
The most important action, however,
occurred on the Japanese right at
Bentsiaputze. Here the Japanese held
strong and important position, but 1t
seems they made the inexplicable omis-
sion to fortify the commanding hill
which was the key to the whole situa-
ton. A portion of General Kuropat-
|lxin's force made strong attack on
Bentsiaputze and, taking q leaf out of
the Japanese book, occupied the hill
from the east and fanked the Japan
csc out of the town, causing serious
loss in the rear guard fight. The Rus
sian casualties are reported to have
been inconsiderable.
While these operations are progress
ing south Of Mukden 1t is reported that
two Japanese divisions under General
Fushimi are marching west up the
Lao river and are now 20 miles sou.n
|of Sinmintin. General Kuroki is ex-
pected to make similar move east
ward.
FIRST russian Victory.
The first real success scored by the
Russians has fallen to their lot, &C.
|cording to dispatches received at the
war department. They have won
sweeping victory few miles north OF
Mukden in one of the fiercest engage
ments of the struggle for Manchurian
supremacy, and although the forces
pitted against each other were not
particularly large the victory was none
the less decisive. If the advices re-
ceived by the war department are cor
rect. then General Mistchenko, the
hero of the battles Of the end of July,
has secured absolute control OF the
country surrounding Flu pass and the
Fusan mines, effectively cutting on
the Japanese from further advance
upon the region of the Yentai rail-
road.
