expenditures. In place OF binding
engagement upon Russia that her
navy in the Pacific shall never exceed
a certain strength, the Japanese en-.
voys are willing to accept formal
declaration from NJ. witte that It is
not the present intention OF Russia to
increase her naval forces in the Far
East.
In view Of the fact that the de.
mand for the surrender of the inter.
ned ships involves new and very
important question of international
law it is understood that the Japanese
will consent to have the ownership
of these vessels determined by the
Hague Court of arbitration.
The question of the cession of the
island of Sagtalien has lost its rela.
tive Importance since the beginning
of these negotiations.
There is no doubt but that 1t has
assumed position OF secondary
consequence with the ENJOYS here.
Although the general feeling in ia
pan and Russia may remain un-
changed in this regard 1t can be stated
on the highest authority that If the
question of indemnity was out of tn /,
way, treaty of peace could be signed
without more delay than would be
necessary to arrange the formal de.
tails. Russia balks at the mention
of territorial cession. She recog.
nizes that Saghalien is Japan's by
light Of conquest, but maintains tina.
until peace is secured the future own.
ership of the island is in doubt. With
Japan, the control OF Saghallen is
more sentiment than necessity.
The negotiations of the past week
have tended to eliminate theories and
have resolved this matter into a prac.
tical question. If Russia would agree
not to maintain Notifications on Sag.
halien and would grant Japan equal
privileges, commercial and political
with Russian citizens, 1t is strongly
limited that Japan would withdraw
her original demand and give Russia
the opportunity to pay war indem-
nifty under the guise of purchase
of the islands from its conquerors.
The purchase price of the sagha.
lien would not, Of course, reach the
sum total of the Japanese war ex-
penses but the Manchurlan and Chi.
nese Eastern railroad question have
been left in such shape that payment
of the balance of Japan's claims
could be covered up in the main. By
these methods, Japan could secure
the money that she needs and Rus.
sia's honor would remain unsullled.

NOW UP TO emperor
FOUR DAYS REST HAVE BEEN AGREED UPON IN
ORDER TO GET FINAL WORD FROM
EMPEROR AND CAR.
TWO DISPUTED QUESTIONS REMAIN

PORTSMOUTH, N. II, Aug. IA
The Japanese envoys have recon-.
;snended to their emperor that the
original peace demands be modified.
They have asked for permission to
offer concessions to the Russian
pienlpotentiaries when they meet
again next Tuesday.
This message was sent to Toxic
last evening Immediately after the
return of Baron Komura and Minister
sTakahira from the conference yester.
day afternoon. In that conference
and through the long discussion Of
the two Japanese articles which were
under consideration yesterday, they
learned the Russian ultimate posi-.
3tion. Their dispatch to Toxic there
fore was based upon exact knowledge
of the situation. The Russian envoys
/ remained at the conference hall for
IAN hour after the, Japanese plenipo.
tentiaries had departed for the pur-
spose of comforting over. the. .proposi-
tion of advices to the Car informing
him fully of the events of the day. 1t
+ Is understood that their message also
contained suggestion that II peace
were to come from these negotiations
It would be necessary for Russia to
relax its determined opposition to the
recognition Of the principle of indem.
nifty.
The final determination Of the ques-
tion of peace or war now rests with the
Emperor Of Japan and the Gzar of
Russia. Four days have been set
aside to permit their respective. gov
.ernments to weigh the facts. This
will give an opportunity for mature
tdeliberation and the answer, when it
comes, will represent the position of
the two governments on this import
'ant question.
The concessions which the Japan
1ese ENJOYS are personally willing to
make and which they have recon-
mended to their governments are Of
-stich character as will satisfy the
Russians while at the same time
preserving the principles for which
the Japanese have contended. While
II is known that such recommenda.
tios have been sent to Toxic. the de
tails remain secret. 1t is understood,
however, that they include with.
5.drawal of the demand for limiting the
Russia naval strength in the Pacific
\ and also the articles providing for the
surrender of the interned Russian
warships. This would leave but two
questions remaining unsettled in which
the honor and dignity of Russia are
affected. These are the cession of
Sthe, island of saghalien and the re-
endorsement of Japan for her war

Doing His Duty.

To John j. Birdno, assessor of
Graham cou~iy, much credit is due
for the raising Of the assessments
of the patented mines. Mr.. Bird
no WAS making the fight as far
back as eight months ago. He
raised the assessments of the big
mining companies in his county
only to see the board of supervisors
lower them. He did not give up
the fight, however, but took ,the
matter up with Governor Kibbey
and Auditor Hill and when the
Board of Equalization met here
Mr.. Birdno was on hand
to tell the Board what he
knew about the value of the
mines in Graham county. He
had documents that did much to
impress the board with the in.
equality of the assessments in
the county between the mine
owners on the one side and the
farmers and other tax payers on
the other.
Mr.. Birdno is a good citizen, a
fearless efficer, honest and con.
scientious, and deserves we'll Of
the people Of his county.-Phoe-

MlchIgan-Arlzona to The Front.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Michgan-Arizona
Mining Company, held in Stafford,
Aug 21, a very fattering report of
the companies affairs was made by
Secretary T. t. Swift.
This company was organized
about year ago with its home
Office in our city. They began oper-
ating on a group Of claims across
the river but at So feet were driven
out by water and temporarily
abandoned work there. They
then began work on group of
claims IN Pinal County. and have
met with great success.
There has been done on the last
group mentioned some 800 feet Of
work, uncoverng some very large
ore deposits and in which values
run high in copper with bY-pro-
duct of silver and gold. The last
assay shows copper 4496, 5 ounce
silver and Sl.20 in gold.
The company is at present do
ing only development work and
no effort has been made to extract
the ore outside the workings-and |
yet they have in round numbers
about $4,000 worth of ore ready |
for the smelter. Taking into con-
sideration this large amount of
work and values is the result of
four mems labors in less than four
months, it is showing remarkable
advancement.
The company being in the hands
of good management. and backed
by eastern capital with the right
kind Of a property upon which to
work It is sure Of success and we
predict the Micbigan-Arizona Min.
ing Company will in time stand
among the leading mines in the
production Of copper.
The old officers were reelected
for the ensuing year without op.
position. This speaks highly for
them as their efforts for square
dealings and success for the com
pany are highly appreciated, and
they are making a record for econ
omy that will be hard to beat.

Mines.

Statistics of the total gold produc-
tion of the Black Hills since that re-
gion was surrendered by the Sioux
Indians and occupied by the whites,
con tanned in the United States assay
offices and mints, show that the
Black Hills, to Dec. l, 1904, produced
gold to the value of $ll2, 1863. 759.
BY adding to this the amount which
has been produced so far this year,
approximately 5000. 900, it gives
total production of $l2O, l63, ,759.
Those in a position to know de-
clare that this is far less than the
actual amount, taking into consider
alton that much of tie gold has been
used in the arts, of which 40 account
has beenkept, while large amount
also, has been taking from the Black
Hills and accredited to other mining
districts.
Werei it possible to get the exact
figures it is regarded as certain that
it would be shown that the total gold
production of the Black Hills to date
would reach fully $l40, 900, 900. y

Indian Allottments.

Vermillion Republican, -Allotting
Agent Carl Gunderson was in Pierre
last week for several days, and he
says he has completed the field work
of alIottlng on the Cheyenne River
Reservation, and is now at work on
Standing Rock Reservation. While
the Indians on Cheyenne River have
been located, there are occasional
changes which will take some time
to wholly clear up. Mr.. Gunderson
says that the allottments take up
about thirty per cent of the reserva-
ton, the rest being land which will,
at some time in the future, be opened
to settlement. The land taken by
the Indians was largely in the vicln-
ity of their old home camps, and is
not by any means all the best of the
reservation. When this section is
opened for settlement there will be
homes for thousands of settlers, and
many of them will be given the op-
portunity to secure as good land as
is to be found in any part of the
state. Mr.. Gunderson was accom-
panied to Pierre by Frank NJ Con-
ser, the government agent, who is
looking after the Investigations Of
affairs which are going on at the
Cheyenne River Reservation. The
investigations have been in PROCESS
for several months with hearings
held at the main agency and at the
different sub-agencies, and the work
is yet in progress All kinds ol
