ed in Cars Capital.
japanese Continue to Drive
Back Linevitch's Men.

ST PETERSBURG, June 28.-A rumor
spread throughout the city last night that
General Kuropatkin had been killed.
This rumor was connected some times
with a report that 10000 Russians had
been cut off by General Nogis army and
that Kuropatkin had been taken prisoner.
Nothing confirmatory of these rumors
has been received either by the general
staff or in press dispatches. The mem
bers of the general staff say that no re-
ports of special Importance have been
received.
A report received from General Line
witch indicates that the japanese ad-
vance continues steadily and that the
Russian van posts. under pressure, are
retiring, fighting as they fall back.

PREMIER PLEADS FOR PEACE.
Premier Ramstedt then spoke. He said:
After June Sweden had two alterna-
tives: One, that of force and the other
to reluctantly accept dissolution Nobody
openly advocates force. but some persons
advocated a PROCEDURE which would ulti-
mately lead to war The object of war
would be to compel Norway TO retrace

harsher conditions than the future safety

in the Ministry's programme at present.
King Oscar has directed the court
marshal to issue the following state
ment regarding the rumor that his Ma

Prince of the house of Bernadotte on
the throne of Norway:
The King does not approve the idea and will
not consent thereto. The only condition under
which his Majesty could consider this decision
would be the unexpected expression of the
wish of the Riksdag that Prince of the

King Oscar has issued a letter ex

APPROVES SYSTEM PREVAILING
 IN YAVAPAI.
(From Sundays Daily.)

During the past week Territorial Examiner w. C. Foster has been oc- cupied in an examination of the official offices of this county. He will not conclude his duties until the latter part of next week, owing to the pass amount of data that has to be search ed into. He has been occupied in the past two days with the office of the supervisors, having completed his eX animation of the treasurer's and re- corder's offices.
 His examinations to the present are decidedly fatterirg to f'c incumbents. and he makes thc statement thnt tha method prevailing in all departments Of the county government in caring for the welfare of the taxpayer is eredI,- able to all alike, and the system in vogue is clear and conscientious. lE this respect. Mir Foster states that Yavapai and Maricopa counties, ara two divisions of the territory that ar credit the intent and purpose Of the law, and he attributes the stric; observance of the statute in their gov erEment to the care and consideration each are subjected to from the office of the district attorney of each com monwealth. Very few of the many counties of Arizona are so fortunate in possessing officials in these depart ments who ae so diligent in supervis- ing the financial and legal welfarc due the people. and is evident in these two counties.
 MT. Fosters duties cover a wi,i" range of jurisdiction, and he makes an nual trips to each of the many eoun- ties in the territory, ordinarily. The office he p-csidcs over SO faithfully and intelligently, was created at the last session of the legislature, and it is one of the best movements ever inaugu rated in Arizona. The old and loose methods in existence for so long are speedily remedied by this official. an3 if any corruption is evident, it is easily detected.

MIR. .FINNEY,S REMARKS.

After the regular tOasts had been concluded Mir. C. E. Finney was iG- troduced as new resident of Arizona who was interested in its progress. Af. ter paying a tribute to the profession and remarking that he barely escape becoming a member of it, he saiG that he was deeply interested in tn. development of Arizona. As the min. ing interests became more active, the more, he said, will they become involv, cd in litigation. The mining code ir Arizona was one of the worst he haa ever seen, and consequently there was great hope for the legal profession.

 J. c. Herndon then arose and offered the following resolution:
 Resolved, that the Northern Arizona Bar association is unalterably opposed to the unholy alliance of New Mex leo and Arizona, as proposed in the new pending bill in Congress.

 Advices were received in Prescott last night from Wendendale that a turn has ben made for the Carrigan oonanzas in the new copper country. and that pending the transfer of them to the Kearns syndicate the intention was to place a large force of men lt work on the first of the year, and give the several claims in the group a thor ough exploitation, and the number O. men to be employed in this work was placed at at least 150.
 This information comes from reh- able sources. Furthermore the state ment was made that a new wagon road was to be built from Wendendale to Camp Carrigan and this work wa now under headway. Every miner tn that section is being employed by an agent of the company, and requests were sent to Wickenburg and the Cox gress sections to forward any men who desired to go to the Clara mines.
 Our informant states that it is the intention to rush this work as rapidly as it is possible to do so, and 1t WIS desired to have the ground so well prospeeted by the first of next ''-'e

HAS A TURN BEEN MADE
 FOR CARRIGAN'S MINES?
Reports From Wendendale are Circulated That Large Number of Miners are to be Employed by the Kearns People
 to Thoroughly Prospect the Ground

that by that time it would be determ- ined whether or not to pay vast sum and take the property over.
 Many reports ave and have been in circulation since Major Burnham and party returned to Los Angeles from their expert examination, of the group, but the most reasonable is that which comes from Wendendale as given above. The statement comes from Wendendale also that late arrivals from the Carrigan camp are equally enthu- siastie as former people who were on the ground. when the rich strike was made, and in addition to the early rush to it, string of miners, prospect ors and investors are running through that section, and that additional dis coveries were taking place.
 If the Carrigan group is virtually tied up under a short time bond, the outcome of development will be eager ly watched, and if reliance can be placed in what limited work has ac- eomplished, it is but reasonable to be lieve that one of the heaviest inan- eial deals in mining investment ever to take place in Arizona. development considered, is practically accomplished

a north and south road through Cen tral Arizona. In this movement the strong argument of Mir. Murphy tri- umphed again, and MT. Reynolds agreed to father the project. While the specialization of this project was settled upon, MT. Reynolds was stricli- en with sickness, and in a short time afterwards passed away at the Con gress mine. With his characteristic energy and indomitable determination the railroad project as outlined and approved of by MT. Reynolds in life was explained by NIT. Murphy, ana with him became interested Messrs. N. K. Fairbank, D. M. Ferry, c. c. Bowen and Simon J. Murphy, eastern capitalists. The S. F. P. and P. then came into a reality, or to more prop erly put it, the long dreamed of north and south railroad. It reached Pres cott in April of 1893. Later it was extended to Phoenix, passing within few miles of the celebrated Congress mine, and practically as Mir. Reynolds had desired it to be.
 The selection of the name of The Diamond Jo for this especial train is, then, but a deserved and beautiful tribute to the man who is no more, but who is nevertheless the father of the great system that began with his sup port the project of railroad building in this section of Arizona, and which has terminated so successfully. It must be to Mir. Murphy, as he reviews the scenes and summons from the shadOwy past the forms that were once familiar, touching and tender recollection of the struggle that followed his endeaV- ors to give to the land of his adoption what NJ. Reynolds had cherished ir life. The Journal-Miner congratu lates the Santa Fe, Prescott and PhOe- nix in selecting such an appropriate title, and while is saeredly eherishes the memory of those who are gone, ar does it cement the affection of all fol the living, or the men who were cl and with Diamond ole Ec-uolds.
