Removing Russian Mines.

Toxic, June 5, $40 p. NIT is sus-
pected here that the Russians at Port
Arthur are communicating with points
on the seacoast by means of wireless
telegraphy. 1t was reported that
wireless station had been erected Sc
cretly at the village of Peh Wang, on
Takin island, one of the Mao Tao
group, which are situated in Pechli
strait and the Japanese cruiser Chito-
sea visited the island yesterday to in
vestigate. She did not, however, find
anything. 1t is reported that another
such station has been erected near
Shan Hal Kwan, and the Japanese are
investigating this matter.
Yesterday the Chitosea steamed in
close to Lao Tshan promontory and
discovered four masts and watch
house near the coast. One of these
masts evidently was fitted for wireless
telegraphy operations. The Chitosea
reports having heard series of ex-
plosions at Port Arthur and believes
them to have resulted from blastings
preparatory to the emplacement of
new batteries.
The japanese torpedo boat destroyer
Ikazuchi yesterday discovered and ex-
ploded a large mine off San Shan
island. at the entrance to Talienwan
bay.
The Japanese naval authorities en-
gagged in clearing out the mines in the
vicinity of Talienwan bay are employ
ing japanese shell divers from kushia
province, for the purpose. These
divers volunteered for this work and
are wonderfully expert. 1t is said that
with their diving paraphernalia they
can stay under water for half day at
a time.
Hundreds of Japanese fishermen are
volunteering to assist in clearing away
Russian mines and it is probable that
some of them will be used for this
work These voluntary offers are
taken to illustrate the unity OF the
japanese people in the war.

That the rapidly changing con-

stood aud appreciated by those in
authority in county affairs il shown
by the fact that the members Of
the county court have practically
decided 10 purchase rock crusher
for the use Of the county and that
the new machine will be installed
esrly next Spring. County Judge
Dunn informed a representative Of
this paper last Tuesday that the
matter was discussed informally at
the last meeting Of the board and
that while 40 definite action was
taken II was practically decided Ia
make such an investment.

that with the advent Of a railroad

portions nf the county 10 the prin'

practical men with a personal
knowledge Of climatic and soil con'

way permanent improvement can
be made IL by the use Of crushed
roek. All the leading authorities
in the country agree in recon-
mending this method and Gillian
county people cannot afford to b'
satisfied with anything short oI
the best. Other important road
improvement are contemplated
by the county court among
which is the bridging of Rock
creek and the opening Of a good
wagon road up Wolf hollow. This
will be done in response to de
mand from many residents in thai
portion of the county lying east OF
Rock creek and will divert a large
amount of trade to the new rail
way which now goes to Douglas
and lone. The new road, it il
claimed, will make saving Of al
most one half in distance to the
people Of that section
The Incorporated towns will also
receive much benefit from the road
policy as it is probable that in the
future the county will adopt the
policy of expending the amount Of
the road tax collected in the towns
on the streets of such municipal.
ties and in addition to this the city
governments will be able to secure
the use of the crusher in preparing
material with which TO pave their

reach the streets of this city will
