fact of the retreat of the Russians be- fore the overwhelming superiority of the Japanese on the Yalu river, no de- tails have been received since the re- port of Gen. Sassuitch, commander of the second Siberian army corps. of the retirement from Kiulien-Cheng to Antung. It is quite possible that the loss on both sides in the weeks fight ing may reach the figures given by the Japanese, as the reserves were not brought up to support the Russian po- sition at Kiulien-C -Cheng, where the fighting was the heavist The Rus sians made a special effort to hold as long as possible the heights of Cho- San, on an island opposite Kiulien- Cheng, whence their guns commanded a considerable stretch of the river to the south. but Japanese battery on a hill above Wiju dominated the posi- tion. which the Russians eventually were forced to relinquish, thus losing the key to the river. The desperate character of the struggle there may have been due to the necessity for gaining time for the withdrawal of the Russian attachments above and | below

Sas9ulitch was in command of the entire force on the Yalu, which ex- tended along Q front of over thirty miles. with reserve supports 15 miles back The whole, according to the | best information obtainable. did not exceed 17,000 men. What was the actual force engaged Is not known at present, though probably it was not more than 5000 men. if it was so large.

satisfactorily adjusted differences when waited upon by committees, and in it's action in sending an injured timberman to Phoenix for treatment by a specialist. Along these lines MT. Clark says the work will be continued. The continuous operation of the mine and smelter means prosperity fer the men and the town. The successful running of the property for. a few months places the management in a position to ask the stockholders for concessions for its employes-and to it the stockholder who de- cides as to the radical changes to be made in the mana genent of a proper ty. To this end Manager Clark has expressed himself as working.
 The most unfortunate thing in con- nection with these petty strikes. is that always some of the oldest, most trusted and most competent employees of a company are in some manner drawn into the "-'i; aid Icse their positions, Gs t.as the case during the late trouble with the motormen, when two of the best smeltermen in the U. V.'s employ lost their jobs.
 The concensus of opinion is. that time will adjust all differences at the works. if the men will go at the mat ter in fair and busnesslike manner and use average patience.-Jerome Mining News.

A SCOTCH KNIGHT
Sir William John henzies in the City
 Yesterday.

Sir William John MenZies, of Edin- burgh, relative of Governor Brodie, arrived in the city yesterday morning on a short visit to the governor whom he had not seen for many years. He came in a private car of the Arizona Copper company, of whose board of managers he is, by the way, the presi- dent, a position which he has occupied for many years.
 He spent a short time at the eXecu tive offices an dafter that was driven about the valley by the governor. While he was at the governors offices he was called upon by Chief Justice Kent, Judge Street, Judge Baker. Cap tain Alexander, Colonel Leavell, Terri torial Auditor Nichols and others. Sir William is a pleasant gentleman of perhaps siXty-flve. He is one of the most distinguished lawyers of Scotland and is immersed in many business en- terprises some in America and others in other parts of the world. He is heavily interested in California He is now on his way to Los Angeles, where he has son living.
 Sir William is pleased with the form of government of the United States. not only because It is a good one in itself, but also because he says it is modeled after the government of the Scotch Kirk. He is an enthusiastic Presbyterian.
 In his conversation yesterday he re- lated one fact in connection with the Arizona Copper company which is not generally known in this country. That the company is a British corporation is well known. but Americans are not aware that the stockholders are requir- ed to pay the British government an income tax in addition to the tax inn posed by the laws of the territory Sir William says that the corporation is essentially American; all its property is in this country and so is its whole source of income upon which the Brit ish tax must be paid. When a stock holder dies the disposition of his hold ings is not settled as it would be in this country. The government at once enga ges in the affairs of the company and whatever is done with the stock of the dead member is done after the case has gone through chancery.

Since his graduation the profess or has had practical work in metal lurgy. mining, geology and civil engin- eering. At present he is with the Amal- gamated Copper company at Butte Montana. He is given a leave of ab- sence until the first of September in order that he may continue his investi- gations in mining and metallurgy at the above mentioned place. During his attendance at the universities of Ore ron and California he took an active part in track team work and for two years captured the trophy awarded to the winner of the one mile walking eyert.

taken to procure for Logan a half fare ticket to some point in Ten nessee. He left Logan waiting in the office of the Consolidated Bus and Transfer company, while he went to hunt physician and he was seen no more.
 Marks said that when he started out with Logan his intentions were honest. He said he had procured half fare tickets for several persons in i'll health who desired to return to their homes and he showed that only last week he had engineered a raftte for an invalid, disposing of an umbrella with the pro- ceeds of which he had bought him ticket. This Marks was able to prove.
 He said that upon leaving Logan he went into a saloon to get a drink. He had s of his own and having bought the drink, he played with his money until it was gone. He felt sure that h. could win it back and he began to send Logan's money after it until it was al- so all gone. He then realied the po- sition in which he had placed himself and did the wrong thing. He had friends in Phoenix who would have helped him but he had been seized with an insane desire to get out of the cOun-  try. He started for Tempe on foot, carrying a suit case. He was overtak en hy a wagon and rode to Tempe where he sold his suit case and took the train for Maricopa.
 Marks has been in town for some time and has impressed those with whom he has become acquainted with confidence. Several of his friends said yesterday that if he were given a little time he could square the matter with Logan and pay the costs of the proceedings so far as they have gone. The court gave him until o'clock. At that time they said they had started a sutscrip- tion and had raised the greater part of the money and felt certain that they could complete the job by this morning. They were given more time. Logan says he is sorry for him and regrets that the prosecution was begun. Marks home is in Brooklyn and there are sev- eral people here who knew him there. They say that his reputation is excel lent. He was for several years with Forepaush as a ticket seller. He is himself in ill health and unable to s1eak above ! whisper.

THE UNITED VERDE.
Shelter Running Full Blast-lnci
 dental Labor Troubles.

At the United Verde shelter two 5O0-ton furnaces and one 25O-ton fur mace are now running at full blast,
 turning out as much bullion as ever before in its history. Everything in and about the shelter and mine is running smoothly. The places of the motormen who left the company's em- ploy a few days ago have been satis- factorily filled by competent men. The movement of the motormen was not backed by any organization or union, hence the failure of the man. agement to deal with the matter other than in giving the men their time and filling their places. The new manage ment has openly declared to the men that it will not deal otherwise with these petty grievances, and does not deny the right of the employe who is dissatisfied with his position to go else where for employment, but does not think that eight or ten men have the right to demand that the policy of the company toward it's employees be revo- lutioniZed by the demands of a few men, and that without a moments no- tice. When the new management was installed in January last it was given out to those in the employ of the company that the differences which have apparently existed between the company and some of its men would be adjudicated just as soon as they could be properly looked into. That it would be the object of the management to bring the men and the company closer together. The good faith of the man. agement has been proven in a number of instances where it has quickly and

ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS.
Expenditures Which Count in the Eyes
 of the Law.

Tn exceptional cases the wages paid a watchman to take care of machinery and to lock after the timber in an idle mine. king repairs, etc. may be counted as money spent on annual as- seSsment, but in such cases it must be shown that the work is to be resumed.
 Concerning this. the supreme court of California said: "The cases must be rare in which it can justly be said that such money is expended in pros pecting or working the mine. There may be cases where work is temporar- fly suspended. and there are structures which are likely to be lost if not cared for, and it appears that the structure will be required when work is resumed, and that the parties do intend to resume work. in which money expend- ed to preserve the structure will be on the same basis as money expended to create them anew. But this could not go on indefinitely. hs soon as it should appear that this was done merely to comply with the jaw and to hold the property without any intent to make use of such structures within a reason- able period, such expenditure could not be said to have been made in work up- on the mine. Much less could the mine owner bring picks, shovels and things of that kind, upon the mine and have sonic one to watch them to prevent them being stolen and have such cost of watching considered as work upon the mine
 Expenditures made in unwatering mine might be considered in estimat- ing annual work" says Lindley on Mines, eff sucE unwatering was for the
