The first of the week was warm and dry and favorable for farm operations and for growing crops.
 During the latter part of the week general and heavy rains put a stop to all farm work. Con- siderable progress was made in planting cotton and about half of the crop has been planted. It is coming up in many sections and the stand is generally good.
 There is considerable corn still to be planted, more particularly in the southeast section of the state. Where up the stand is generally good and considerable of the early planted has been worked out for the first time.
 Oats, wheat, potatoes, pasture and gardens are doing well. The outlook continues favorable for all kinds of fruit, although there is some complaint of apples drop ping in the northwest section.
 A large crop of strawberries is being marketed.

Memphis, May 10. Senator O. N. Killough, the retiring presi- dent of the St. Francis levee board, smashed the slate made by Gov. Jeff Davis in the cleo tion of officers of the board for the ensuing term. Gov. Davis had, by exercising his appoint ing power, placed fifteen pro- Davis men on the board of twen- ty-four members, and had held a caucus of his men and arranged a slate.
 The only opposition offered by the anti-Davis men was for the office of secretary, to which Rich ard Barton sought reelection. MT. Barton is personally very ob- noxious to Gov. Davis, because of his open and uncompromising championship of Senator Berry in the coming senatorial race.
 When the position of secretary was about to be balloted on MT. Killough claimed the floor and made rousing speech on behalf of the anti-Davis candidate, car rying with him twelve of the twenty-four members. Another member left the room. The vote gave MT. Barton twelve and MT. Dye eleven.
 The result completely demor- alized the governor, and he left town tonight. When the vote was announced a score of men ran down the hall to Davis room and cheered for Berry, Gov. Davis had previously announced at the board meeting his candi- dacy for United States senator against Berry.

Latest From St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg, March Z, 3:15 a. m.
According to correspondents with
the Russian army the tide Of battle
yesterday was gradually setting back
from the immediate vicinity of Muk-
den, operations up TO noon having re-
suited in the capture Of several vii.
lagos west and southwest OF Mukden,
but later in the afternoon the Japan
ese inaugurated a series Of desperate
attacks, the outcome of which Is still
not chronicled.
At last reports the japanese had
also launched an attack against Pou-
tiloff hill and other points on the Rus
sian front, presumably with the inten-
tion of regaining positions from which
the Russians had Ousted them during
the night, and also to prevent Gen
eral KurOpatkin from dispatching
further reinfOrcements against Cen
eral Nogi's hard pressed veterans.
The latter, however, have gotten up
heavy field artillery to their support,
making a much more even fight
against the Russian cannon.
The war office estimates the num-
ber of wounded in the battle of Muk.
den at 10000, including 234 officers,
but makes no statement regarding the
number of dead. This undoubtedly is
a conservative statement. The Japan
ese losses, according to the same
source of information, are estimated
at 10000.

Associated Press Resume.

Inere was no cessation Of the fight.
ing between the Russian and Japan
ese armies in Manchuria yesterday.
Russian reports state that, at a dis.
tance, the tide of battle in the imme-
date vicinity Of Mukden seemed to
be ebbing. The most that the war
critics at st. Petersburg seem to hope
for at present is that General Ku-
ropatkin has succeeded in re-estab.
fishing his line of retreat in the di.
rection of Harbin.
Word has reached Newchwang,
which, however, has no confirmation
from other sources, that the Japanese
are already north of Mukden with a
large force, and that the Russians are
facing disastrous defeat. There an.
pears to be a possibility that General
kuroki has drawn off a portion of his
army from the center and sent it to
reinforce the divisions engaged in
fianking movements. General KauI-
bars, the most trusted of General Ku-
ropatkin's officers, is personally in
command of the Russian forces in the
triangle between the railway and the
Hun river. which vital position the
Japanese have been assailing for sew
eral days. Russian reports admit that
$4,000 men have been wounded, but
make no mention of the n,,mhar kill
ed; and at the same time assert that
the Japanese have lost 10000 in kill
ed and wounded.

GULCH
MINES CLOSE
UNABLE TO PAY ITS MEN AND
OWES ABOUT $25,.
900.

The Whiskey Gulch mines and mill
shut down on March /, and it is yerv
uncertain when operations will be re-
sumed, but it is generally believed
that the shut down will be of consiA.
cradle duration.
This action did not come as a sur
PRISE, as the company had failed to
meet It's pay day on February /. On
the latter date ii was promised that
1t would surely liquidate later
on and deferred the settlement
until February Is, and finally until
March l. On the latter date it was
promised that there would be a dou-
Bile pay day, but the company was
again unable 10 arrange for funds,
and work was entirely suspended.
The company had been employing
about st men, and the pay roll for
the two months amounts to some
thing like $4,000, while the other
debts outstanding WIN bring the total
up to nearly $25,000O, it is believed.
Nearly all of the men came down to
Lewistown, and during the past week
two actions to recover wages have
been started in the district court, at
tachments being issued in both cases,
while attorneys have been kept busy
preparing labor liens.
Run Of Hard Luck.
The exact facts in regard to the
cause for the shut down at this time
are difficult to ascertain, although 1t
Is said that during the winter, the
company experienced some hard
luck. the water pipes freezing up and
greatly retarding operations, while
the expenses increased. AS a result,
the management found itself short of
money, and while it might have work.
ed out of the hole in a comparatively
short time, the pay roll kept right ON
growing and the other expenses were
piling up.
The Whiskey Gulch properties were
operated by The Chicago-M Montana
Gold Mining company, corporation
organized under the laws of Arizona.
George M. Nelson, st. Paul lawyer,
is the president, the other officers
being w. G. RLnzler, secretary, and
F. E. Wright, treasurer. Until just
before the shut down C. T. Durell,
general manager of the Gold Reef,
acted in the same capacity for the
Whiskey Gulch properties.
The first suit brought in the district
court was instituted by James Muir
ply. whose own claim, with that Of
other miners assigned to him, aggre-
gate $2,067.
Later a similar action was brought
by NJ. S. Mershon, who asks judg-
ment in the sum of $1.653.95. Attach
ments on the property were issued in
both of these suits, and these, in ad-
dition to the innumerable liens. tie
up pretty nearly all Of the property.
Gold Secured at Mill.
In the Murphy case, Judge e. X.
Cheadle made an order Saturday d.
recting the sheriff to secure c0mpe-
tent assistant, and refine the precipi-
tates at the mill. This work was
quickly accomplished. and on Tues
day Under Sheriff Ed. Martin return
ed from Whiskey Gulch. bringing
with him over $4,000 in gold. This win
later be shipped to Helena for refln-
ing. and will ultimately be applied
towards settling the labor claims.
This gold is now at the Bank OF Fer

Panoramic View of Battle.

Mukden, March "a correspondent
of the Associated Press has just re-
turned from spending the entire day
of March 4th with the Russian van
guard on the right flank, where Cen
eral Nogi is attacking desperately,
and especially at Niachpiau, where
there is crossing of Hun river four
miles below the railroad. He says all
the Japanese attacks on March 4th
were repulsed. but only owing to the
most heroic fighting, which was re-
newed this morning. The vast plain
of the Lao Yang and Hun river val
leys presented a brilliant panoramic
scene. The day being clear and sunny
the movement on both sides was dis
tinctly seen except when clouds of
yellow dust raised by the west wind
swirled down and hid the shifting
lines of infantry. Charge followed
charge, attack, repulse. and counter
attack, Russians and japanese fight

and clinging like grim death itself to

land. Every village was the scene of
struggles rivaling the famous La Haye
Salnte at Waterloo. One regiment of
Siberian sharpshooters was led to the
attack by Col. koukorin, who was
wounded in the foot February 2Sth,
and directed the operations from a lit
ter.
From the front and left flank the
reports are of an encouraging nature.
A desperate attack on the japanese
today on PoutiloT hill resulted most
tragically to them, the Russian artil-
lery turning lines of Japanese into
heaps of bleeding bodies which the
survivors quickly converted into
breastworks from which they were
driven by bayonet charge and the
murderpus fire of the artillery. The
attack of the Japanese imperial
guards division, according to Gener-
al Zaassalitch, crumbled before the
brilliant defense of the Siberian
sharpshooters.
