in the sitting room in the rear of the
drug store, her body lying a few feet
away from the unconscious form of her
daughter
Mrs. Chatham recovered conscious

questions said: John did it."
The baby's head was grazed by a

chase. Finding the place apparently
vacant he peered behind the prescrip-
ton counter and saw the druggist ly-
Ing in pool of blood. He ran from
the store and notifed the police.
Mrs. Abrams is the wife of a re-
spectacle mechanic. She was a visi-

expressed the opinion that she was
summoned there by Mrs. Chatham to
settle dispute between the druggist
and his wife. Her head and face were
beaten almost to a pulp.

Mukden. March S.-Fighting or the
iercest nature, which is likely to de-
eide the fate OF the battle, which has
been in progress for 10 days, began yes-
terday and has continued uninterrupt-
eddy up to the present time on a front
IA miles long west of the railroad and
on line with the Shakhe river. The
Japanese also have made a desperate
attack on Bentsiaputze, and reports
are arriving here that fighting was re-
newed on the extreme left of the Rus
sian army. Both sides are fighting with
desperation to the westward, though
the troops are we'll nigh exhausted
The issue of the battle may depend
largely on the relative physical condi-
ton OF the rank and file. In the main
features the combat Is very mach like
that at Lao Yang, and If the Russians
should be able to crush the thanking
force victory may be regarded as won.
The losses In the 10 days of battle on
both sides are already greater than
were the casualties in the battle OF
Lao Yang and are likely to increase
as the days pass before the issue is
fully decided
The japanese made a succession Of
desperate attacks on General Tser-
pitsky's division on the west front
south of Mukden, repeating the as
sault at intervals of two hours. with
constant reinforcements. About so 1000
Japanese. with 200 pieces Of artillery.
participated. All the attacks were re-
pulsed, there being enormous losses on
both sides. One extremely important
position changed hands several times.
Finally General Tserpitsky on horse
back, placing himself at the head Of
his troops, led his regiments to the at
tack with colors flying and music play
Ing. The attack was successful. After
1t was over the victorious soldiers
crowded around General Tserpitsky,
shouting his praises and even kissing
his hands and feet. The Russians cap
tured several quick-fire guns and many
prisoners. including officers.
1t was reported that Major General

toward evening had taken and held
Tatchekiao. The cannonading in the
neighborhood of Tatchekiao is now in
creasing in intensity. The Japanese ap-
parently have brought up reinforce
ments and are attempting to crush Cen
eral Gerngross.
The appearance OF this region. which
has now been two days under fire. be-
gins to resemble a siege. Graves are
increasing in number. while dead ami
mails strew the ground. The troops
have been seven days without rest, and
their powers of resistance are declin-
ing. They plinly show the strain of
the terrible week. The ground is deeply
frozen.

RUSSIANS ARE RETREATING

II. Petersburg Believes kuropatkin Is

Retreat to Tie Pass, and Will Need

Army-Desperate Fighting Around
Mukden.
For 10 days the Japanese and Rus
sian armies in Msnchuria have been
engaged in a mighty conflict, the issue
OF which has not yet been reached.
Although the most of the news from
the scene of the battle comes through
Russian sources, and consequently may
be supposed to present the facts in as
favorable q light as possible for the
Russian arms, il is evident that the
japanese made some gains yesterday.
st. Petersbu Ia an unofficial report
that General Kuropatkin's centre has
been broken and that 13 siege guns
have fallen into the hands OF the Japa-
nsse. These guns, which are Of six and
sight-inch caliber, were given perma-
nent emplacemepts on the line of the
railroad north of Shakhe station, the
fact evidencing the confidence of the
Russians that the Japanese could not
penetrate thither.
In st. Petersburg 1t is generally be-
Neved that General Kuropatkin was
yesterday fighting rear guard action
to cover his retreat and that last night
witnessed a large withdrawal OF troops
toward Tie Pass. All OF the commander
in-chief's ability, 1t is considered. will
be required to extricate his army from
its present predicament
The issue, it is expected, will be de-
cided today, and a great deal unques-
tionably depends upon the comparative
ability of the opposing armies to re-
sist the effects of hunger and fatigue,

st. Petersburg, March S.-That the
battle of Mukden will so down in his
tory with Lao Yang in the long list of
Russian defeats is the almost universal
oelief in pessimistic ST. PETERSBURG.
which has forgotten the word victory.
The war Office does not admit that thu
issue OF the great battle, which already
exceeds in magnitude of operations and
losses that of Shakhe, has been de-
cided. although it is positively stated
IN high quarters that General Kuro-
patkin has telegraphed to Emperor
Nicholas that it will be impossible to
hold Mukden, and that the withdrawal
or the army northward has already
been begun.
Nothing from General Kuropatkin
later than Monday has been given ont
out advices to St Petersburg newspa-
pers and dispatches to the Associated
Press indicate that the position of the
Russian army, after a day of furious
and unprecedented fighting, is desper
ate, but not absolutely hopeless. some
russian correspondents even predict
ang Russian victory soon, and one
SHrming that the extreme Japanese
ae1t has already begun to retire south
ward.
While the Japanese hurled them
selves forward at every point yester-
Jay, thelr main energies were behind
the blow west and southwest in an at
tempt to envelope the Russian right
and drive wedge through the line at
Madzyapu; but General Kuropatkin
seems to have been able successfully tn
change front on the line of his shat
tered right aligning from northwest

Mukden; and at nightfan ii was re.
ported that he was practically bo,din
all MS positions. At the same time
was drawing in and shortening his lin
10 the southeast.
According to reports, all the concen-
trated attacks of the Japanese to the
westward failed. and the effort of Cen
erals Nogi and Oku to push the encir-
cling movement north and eastward
across General Kuropatkin's line of
communication was blocked. Reports
however, are conflicting. One CORES
pondent telegraphs of hearing firing to
the northward. towards Tie Pass. which
may be between Cossacks and a flying
column OF Japanese.
Both sides. are terribly exhausted by
their three days of continuous fighting

intimate that the issue must be dea-
nitely decided today.

FROM LAS VEGAS

The Salt Lake route is preparing 20
push work on the line from Las Vegas
to Goldfeld and Tonopah and has
promised that trains will be running
before spring. This line will give the
Nevada Bonanza districts an important
and Independent outlet and it, together
with the railroad connection now estab-
lished with the north, will practically
remove the isolation barrier, which has
been an obstacle to the development
of the district, but one which has only
delayed, not deferred, the gold thirsty
pilgrims. The Las Vegas branch will
be an important feeder for the main
line, and it is only the beginning of a
system of tributary lines, which will
bring a vast and rich country into con
~nection with the new transportation
route which the Salt Lake route has
opened up. Among these branch lines
will be n to S~earchlight, another to
the iron deposits of Southern Utah, and
another to the coal field of Central
Utah. These are all planned and will
surely be built shortly. Mining World.

NEW AUTO

A meeting of Encampment business
men was held Wednesday evening for
the purpose of formulating plans for .
new automobile line to run between
Rhyolite and Goldfeld.
There were men at the meeting who
guaranteed to back the scheme for any
amount up to $4,000, and the PROPOSE
ton has resolved itself into definite
form, so that different firms have been
wired to for prices on four forty-horse
power machines. The short route
stage road is to be used temporarily
until an auto road can be built.
1t is a well known fact that about
six passengers are billed to Rhyolite
for n to the neighboring towns, yet
stories keep coming of knocking
against this town being lone by some
of the drivers of the auto company.
A gentleman came in this week who
owns a half interest in the Indian
Springs Water company, which has
mains covering forty-two blocks IN
Rhyolite, yet the driver spun to him a
long tale about Rhyolite having no
water and poor hotel accommodations.

THE

An assay office is being erected a
little to the south of the main office
building. This will greatly facilitate
the testing of ore from the Shoshone-
Montgomery.
The northwest drift being run from
the bottom of the 150-foot shaft at the
Polaris, is now in 95 feet. Splendid
values are obtained from the quartz
ledge on which they are drifting. The
southwest drift has reached a distance
of As feet and is also in good ore.
The drifts being run from the bot
tom of the 200-foot shaft at the main
workings continue to show improved
values as distance is attained.
No attempt will be made to ship ore
until after the trial of the injunction
suit brought by O'Brien, which will be
held on November 6.

THE GOLD BAR

The Gold Bar strike, heretofore re-
ported, continues to be one Of the
leading topics of interest in Bullfrog
as well as in outside mining and stock
circles.
To get anything like a proper con-
ception of what the Gold Bar really is
one should see it. But the Miner re-
porter will try and draw a word and
figure picture Of the magnitude Of the
Remnant mountain bonanza.
The ledge on the Gold Bar has been
proved up on the surface for 1000 feet.
The main shaft and several open cuts
have uncovered a perfect hanging wall
that dips to the west at an angle of
about 65 degrees.
The main shaft was sunk vertically
for IS feet by the prior superintendent.
When Mr.. Bedford took charge he
started towards the hanging wall,
which has been followed down to the
present 150-foot level. At no time
values increasing with depth.
The north drift, pushed along the
hanging wall, was yesterday in 120
feet. The ore in this drift has aver
aged $40 strong. The drift win be
driven TO If0 rect, ana then II IS nkefy
that connections win be made with the
incline tunnel. ~ tant t"sf tfHs
The south drift, where the recent
strike was made, is in las feet. Here
the values have been better than in
the north bore, the value Of all ore
being ~conservatively, $50 per ton.
In this drift, 10 days ago, the rich
streak that averaged 1923 was uncov-
ere. Other assays of 800, 500 and
$78 were obtained. Mr.. Davis, one Of
the owners, who was at the property a
week ago, took back with him to Gold
field a big boulder of quartz that was
covered with free gold. The reporter
broke from the hanging wall a piece
of rhyolite-quartz, which he is using
as a paper weight, that is lousy. These
free gold pieces have not been assayed.
The crosscut is in 70 feet, and the
foot wall has not been reached. The
last s feet of this cut has been in $35
rock. Fl
Superintendent Bedford sent to the
Goldfeld office of his company a free
gold nugget weighing "a pounds.
