Liao Yang, July 4.-The Japanese
are evidently nonplussed at General
Kuropatkin's tactics, as proved by
their alternate advance on Lao Yang
from Feng Wang Cheng and Subse-

the country being devastated. Two di-
visions are reported to have fallen
back on Feng Wang Cheng.
The Japanese activity in the south
is also suspended, General Kuroki be-

from the north. An early cessation
of hostiltes is expected and when
they are resumed the Russians say
they will be able to take the often

their best tonight to give an interpre-
tation of this very famous play ana it
can be expected that they will succeed
as the company is made up of some

that they essay to play productions

augurs we'll for them. There is moth
ing like testing the strength of an in

play that requires genius and even
if they do not measure quite up to

than in playing over and over again

have as part of their repertoire. 1t is

If Extension of Time On Payments Can Be Secured, Development Will at Once Resume in Drill Hole Where Feet of Ore Was Caught.

A delegation of stockholders Cf the Mitchell Development company inter- ested in it's Huachuca Mountain prop critics is expected to arrive in this city shortly from Michigan.
 The object of the visit is understood to be to carry out the instructions of the recent stockholders meeting held at Ishpeming. at which it was decided that if the company could secure an extension of the time fixed in its bond for the next payment on the claims, resumption of development would De in oTGer.

It has also been pointed out that the drill hole is a distance frcm the principal body of claims under bond. and that the com pany might. if it so desired, very easi- ly purchase the ground upon which the drill hole has ore and let the res- slide.

 A large and important find of cop ra1. ore has been made in the shaft of the Pittsburg & Duluth Development company, and in two drill holes Tn tne property ore has been cut. yertl- cal Grill hole has been sunk in NO. 12 cut. in a lead of chalcopyrite, that was touched by the drift, and this IS now down sixty feet in sulphfde ore and punches of lime. It has not yet cleaned up but gives promises of ee- ing a very important discovery horizontal hole is also being run from near the same point and this has cut ore. but no great quantity so far. The prospects for this property whlch were beginning to look dubious. are now as bright as any of the develop nnents. in their early stages.
 With the Pittsburg & Duluth ma ing ore every one of the five devel- onnnent companies of the Calumet & Arizona group has proved up HIS is a mining record almost without narallel in history. That group of men should enter district sucn as Bisbee take up five different and distinct properties. all of them on carefully thought geological tneoTies' and in none of which there was nound of ore showing on the surface and make a mine of each one, Is d remarkable record.
