Looked for at Paris or

st. Petersburg, March 30.-It is un-
derstood that the imperial commission
under the presidency Of Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaievitch, which has
been considering the question Of prose
cutting the war, has completed its pre-
lminary report, which favors a contin-
uation of the war, finding nothing in
the present situation, either financial or
military, to prevent its prosecution.
All eyes are now centered on Wash
ington and Paris, where developments
are expected. The Washington dis
patches are scanned with especial
eagerness.
The reports of President Roosevelt s
conferences with Minister Takahira
and Ambassadors Jusserand and Speek
Won Sternburg are believed to relate to
the opening of negotiations.
The foreign office continues to main
tain that Russia has taken no official
step, which certainly is literally true.
There is an important admission, how
ever, that Ambassador Jusserand upon
his own responsibility may have given
President Roosevelt the French idea
of Russia s position. The French EN-
bassy also insists that it has no knoWl-
edge Of what move, if any, has been
made.

France Eager for Peace.

There is authority for the statement
that France is diligently striving to
end the war, and for six weeks past
negotiations Of the most confidential
character have been in progress be-
tween Paris and ST. Petersburg. Even
diplomats of the highest rank have
failed to obtain from M. Delcasse, the
French foreign minister, the result OF
these negotiations, but it can be an
nonnced on the same authority that
Count Lamsdorff, the Russian minister
for foreign powers, has within week
admitted that he had in general way
outlined to M. Delcasse the general
terms along which Russia might .con-
sent to consider peace.
Advices from Europe tell of the fear
prevalent there in certain quarters
that the activities of Lamsdorf and
Delcasse are directed toward an inter-
national conference to be held in some
neutral European capital, such as
Stockholm, where peace negotiations
might be conducted.

LETTER R o o'BRIEN
Harrisburg, Oct. 10, 49,

Harrisburg, Oct. ~, 1903.
To the Editor of the Bullfrog Miner:
The undersigned has had numerous
requests by letter from friends in
your district, making inquiries about
the Harrisburg strike, in which Billy
Corcoran, .Shortyo2 Harris and the
writer, William l.. O'Brien, are part
ners.
The property consists of nine claims,
seven in one group-the Providence.
The development work consists of one
tunnel that is in 40 feet, all in quartz;
values, $27 to $239. Two hundred feet
of trenching On Providence No. l, at
right angles to the strike of the ledge,
shows quartz all the way.
Assay returns from the laboratory
of Simonds & King, All Montgomery
street, San Francisco, show cold and
silver values as follows: $2.66, $21.0S,
1886, 1914, 1925, $45.56, 800. 10,
$452.5 Sc. These samples were taken
from an area of nearly 700 feet in
width.
Messrs. W.. X. Brown, b. +. Gould,
&c. n. Hawkins and Frank Shore. CAPT
~talists of San Francisco and Holiister,
CAL, visited Harrisburg to inspect the
Eureka group, and left on Oct. 10 for
Goldfeld to negotiate a $l5G,000 deal.
The Eureka group joins the Providence
group on the north.

inst. The Ingels brothers are heavily
interested in Bullfrog and Rhyolitc
properties, and also have large hold
ings in the new strike here.
The TOWNSHIP of Harrisburg has been
surveyed, and many new corners arrive
daily.
Silver has been found one half mile
east of town, running high in values,
and j.. Saunders has located 80 feet OF
ore, which runs as high as 1920, and
sacks have arrived to be filled for ship
ment.
Superintendent William L.. O'Brien,
formerly a business man of Rhyolitc,
has a force of Is men working two
shifts, and will increase this force 10
many more as men come into the dis
trict. Labor is hard to secure, as the
miners prefer taking a chance in the
hills, which have been hardly scratch
ed. Water is four miles away, but the
owners of the Providence property will
proceed at once with the development
of water, which they are confident lies
at no great depth from the surface.
