The Manitou Co. brought in

of the week. The first two wells
they drilled on this land were dry

All the oil produced In the Flor
ence, Colorado, field comes from
shale, popularity we do not be-
lieve exists in any other American
field unless it is at Kayak, Alaska.
The Florence oil is very high
grade refining oil with paraiilne
base, but no large wells have been
brought in. The oil seems to be
found in crevices. In one case a
well was drilled in dry within hve
feet of a we'll which was producing
4 considerable amount of oil. This
proved the crevice theory as both
wells were the same depth. There
is practically no gas pressure IN the
field and no large producers have
ever been brought in. Although
little development has been done
in Alaska. indications point to the
same conditions as in the Colorado
field. No sand has been encounter
ed and the two or three wells brought
in show indications that the oil was
contained in simply a crevlce or
"pocket." Such wells do not hold
up well, usually declining to from
two to five barrels daily, or simply
what seeps into the crevices from the
surrounding bed of shale.--Paclllc

Signal corps intercepted a fashlight
message showing that the japanese ar.
tillery was to shell several Russian DO

artillery was rapidly followed up by

Tended desperately, Their positions
were So steep that the attacking Rus
slams could make no progress in the
face of the murderous fire from the
Japanese, Whole advance companies
lay down. hugging the ground till
evening and repulsing the sallies by
the Japanese from their trenches. The
attack was renewed at night The SD
and &5th regiments fell under a with
ering fire. The men were scarcely
able 10 breathe as they clambered up
the steep slopes, but they hung to the
rocks and returned the fire that was
poured down on them Then they
scrambled forward again. The saith
regiment first reached the trenches,
going with bayonets at the Japanese,
who would fight like demons with
dubbed guns, swords, bayouets and
revolverS. 1t was an indeScribable
melee, Russian reserves were ordered
up and the Russians carried two lines
of trenches, after which the men lay
down, dead tired in the Japanese
shelters till dawn. Then 1t was dis
covered that while the attacking force
was about on Level with the passes
themselves. they were only half way
up the heights. which were commanded
by Japanese positions. In these cir
cumstances the Russians We're forced
10 withdraw.
While these attacks were going on
the Russian right also carried several
heights held by Japanese, after fierce
resistance. The Japanese then as.
sumed the offensive, rushing forward
in a great wave. but failing to dislodge
the Russians from the position they
had gained.
The morning of the 10th the Russian
batteries again opened. One battery
silenced some Japanese mountain guns
and then another Japanese battery
opened on the Russians. but a concen-
trated fire smothered that battery also,
The Russian infantry advanced and
the fight became general The left was
heavily engaged. Tumin pass was
turned. More Japanese batteries APP
peared on the heights. One Of these
was literally blown to pieces.
The whole day passed without max.

the Importance of which, it is ex.
planned, is due to the fact that the
Japanese therefrom were able to pour
an enflading fire upon the Russians
posted east and west along the Shakhe
river. The Japanese fully appreciated
its value, promptly mounting heavy
guns uon the hill, of which the Rus.
slams captured r. The others were
removed. The possession of Long
Tree mill will now enable the Russians
in turn to enfilade the Japanese
trenches right and left Of the hill.

resulting in the final withdrawal of a
strong Russian column which had been
sent TO turn the Japanese right though
General Mistchenko seems to have ac-
tually penetrated a considerable dis
lance inside the Japanese line. The
report of the operations of the Russian
left wing is still three days old and
since that time no news has been re-
ceived The situation at this date
may be described as follows:
Russians Slightly Advance.
General Kuropatllin has slightly adj
vanced his center, reoccupying Shakhe,
south of the Shakhe river. Directly
behind him lies the Hun river and
across the bridges spanning this
stream the Russians must retire in
case they retreat on Mnkden. General
Kuropatkin must continue to firmly
hold his center and right flank in order
to prevent the Japanese getting pos
session of the Hun river bridges. Thus
he will cover the withdrawal of his
apparently beaten west wing.
There is still considerable uncertain.
ty as to the disposition of this left col
umn. Certainly it has not returned to
Mukden; whether it is again advancing
after its first withdrawal is not known.
Cannot Help Port Arthur.
1t is no longer a question of Rus.
sian Sedan, though all hope of reliev-
ling Port Arthur must apparently be
abandoned. Little hope is expressed
that General Kuropatkin will be able
to continue TO advance.
The four days fight of the eastern
column was of the same desperate
character that marked the operations
Of the center and right wing. A heavy
Russian column repeatedly assaulted
the strongly entrenched Japanese posi-
lions on the heights commanding the
passes. The assaults were largely
night work. The cannonade was so flu
Irious that it was impossible to ad
vance in the light of day. Finally, DC
tober 10, when the passes had been
lactually occupied, came the order tC
withdraw, probably owing to the crit
| ical position at other parts of the front
! Here the story of the operations of the
eastern wing of the Russian army
ends.

DATE TO END SIEGE
At PORT ARTHUR
NAME THE EMPERoR'S
BIRTHDAY, NOVEMBER 3,
FOR FALL.

Shanghai, Oct. 19.-InterferenCe on
the part of the st. Petersburg authorj'
ties with General Kuropatkin IL it be
continued. is considered here az GER
tain to cause Russia ultimate defeat
in the war with Japan. The Russian
regiments are said not to be up to
their full numbers as the commanding
officers have been drawing pay for
men not in the ranks. The war de
partment has, therefore, been main
tanning \ section of the army that only
existed on paper and, yet, by all eX
cept the military section behind the
scenes, is believed to be in the field.
Russian agents in this port are dis
patching many supply expeditions to
Port Arthur and Vladiyostok and re
lieving the Trans Siberian railway to
some extent. Some have managed to
run the blockade to Port Arthur.
To Take Port Arthur Nov. 8.
For the fourth time the japanese
have fixed a date for the fall of Port
Arthur. They now announce that they
intend to carry the citadel on Nov. 3,
the emperor's birthday. All the news
about Port Arthur Is being furnished
by the Japanese. Few correspondents
now remain with their armies. The
Tokyo authorities have probably aban-
doned all idea of an expedition to Vlad-
iyostok, since they are throwing their
whole force against KurOnatkin at
Mukden.
Japans whole army is now In the
field and volunteers are being trained
The Japanese losses are in the neigh
borhood Of 100000; the Russian losses
are believed to be less. The military
authorities say that the November
cold will finish the war for this year

HOUSE OF BISHOPS
TAKES NEW GROUND

Boston, Oct. 18.--The house Of
bishops. one OF the legislative bodies
Of the Episcopal general convention,
yesterday adopted an amendment to
the canon on marriage and divorce,
forbIdding the remarriage of any d.
yorced person. The amendment
was substantially the same as that re.
jected by the deputies Friday last.
The action Of the bishops was not I'm.
expected as the sentiment Of That
body was well known. In fact, a
similar amendment was ysssed at the
San Francisco convention three years
ago, but failed, as was the case this
year, TO secure the support Of the
other houses. A conference Of com.

tie, especially near Shake, has not

enormous, but this is forgotten in

St. Petersburg, Oct. 1S.-News from

situation is still regarded as Icing crit
ical, but General Kuropatkin is appar-
emily holding the Japanese firmly on
his center and right wing, even having
recrossed the shakhe river; and while
there are rumors OF an extensive Japan

east and west, there is no evidence

Apprehension Felt
Gen. Kurok Bears the Brunt Of the Strug-
gle and Sustains Most Casualties

London, Oct. 1S.-Reports from
Russian sources give more hopeful
view of the situation Of General kuro
patkiu's army and that the command
er has reoccupied and holds the town
of Shakhe, the possession of which
for several days was first with one and
then with the other of the contending
armies
Reports from the Russian left wins
for the safety of which there had been
much anxiety, are no later than the
night of October IS. 1t has been
fighting for two days for the posses
sion of Tumin and Siatchoun passes,
important strategic points, but up to
the time of sending the last dispatch
the Japanese were still in possession
of the passes. In order that this
column may be able to rejoin the main
Russian army it is necessary that
General Kuropatkin should hold the
bridges over the Hun river and the
position he has now occupied on the
Shakhe river. There is no indication
that the end of the great battle is at
hand.
kuroki Bears the Brunt.
The Standards correspondent with
General Kuroki, under date of October
Is, says:
General Kuroki as usual has borne
the brunt of the struggle and sustain
ed a majority of the casualties. We
are now occupying the line of the
Shallhe, with outposts near Mukden.
The Russians lost the initiative on the
second day of the battle, when the
Japanese repealed their infantry and
assumed vigorous offensive For a
time the situation at Bensihu was eX-
tremely critical, the Japanese being
practically surrounded. Eventually,
however, the Russians fled, leavina
1900 dead on the field. We are now
pressing the enemy away from the
railroad into the mountains"
