the conference held between the com.

Nogi, at o'clock this Monday after
noon, the terms of surrender were
agreed upon under " Itch the Russian

Of 10000 will be taken prisoners OF

The surrendered fortress will be

The prisoners will march out Jan. 4.
The opposing troops are fraternizing.
Toxic, Jan. 4.-By permission of the
Japanese, Gen. Stoessel has sent a
cable message to the emperor of Rus
STA. The message recites the fact that
the Port Arthur commander was
forced to surrender, announces the
terms granting the officers parole and
asks the emperor to send his COM
mands.
ST. Petersburg, Jan. 4.-(2:20 o m.)
The flood of kilograms from abroad
bringing talk Of peace arouses only re-
sentiment in official circles here. and
even many liberals, who are urgently
pressing the government for reforms,
aroused by the dreadful story of ero-
ism and suffering of the Port Arthur
garrison, declare emphatically against
any cessation Of hostilities until Rus
sia's honor is indicated by victory
in Manchuria.
Suffered From; Scurvy.
Accounts received from Port Arthur
refugees of the straits to which the
garrison was reduced before it sur
rendered are almost unexampled. The
men had been living solely on rice for
month, and many were suffering
from scurvy. Even the effectivs SOL
diers were nearly all wounded and
dropped asleep amidst the japanese
bombardment beside their own useless
guns. One midshipman who had
passed through the siege has turned a
white-haired, prematurely-aged man.
Admiration here for the heroic de-
Tense is mingled with wonder how
Gen. Stoessel continued to hide the
true condition from the world.

Mining Headquarters.

The Arlington House seems to be
the mining headquarters for this Sec
ton of the world At any time of the
day. and in fact any day a bunch of
men can be seen in the hotel lobb V
where they are talking over min
ing, either at home or Of some other
section. Probably there has been
more mining deals made at the Ar
lington than at anyother place in the
State. The Brougher brothers AMI
Senator Oddie have held most Of their
conferences there, while George Wing
field and all of the Goldfield men
make it a stamping ground.
The railroads may fight, or the towh
may boom or otherwise but the popu-
lar hotel can always be depended on
to find something doing in the mining
way.

REVENUE DAY.
Gambling Devises Turn in Cash to
the City and County

Gambling Devises Turn in Cash to
the City and County
Yesterday was license day among
the gambling devises that are running
in this city and county. The agents
for the slot machines arrived and with
them number of new machines. In
all eleven machines have been ser
UP in the City and thirteen in the
County.
Yesterday $435 was paid in the
treasury from this source alone. OF
the amount $275 goes to the City
and $3.50 to the county This does
not include the fees pad in by the
other gaming devises such as roulette
and faro, which help swell the general
fund of the City and County.
1t was at the last meeting of the
City Trustees that an ordinance was
passed allowing the slot machines TO
enter the county, as before that time
the rate was $3.50 per day for each
machine set up inside of the county.
The City Trustees were absolutely
honest when they passed the ords-
nance, as they stated that the object
of the ordinance was to gain revenue
and not prohibitave law. The effect
of the license and the judgment Of
the Trustees is shown by the amount
that came in yesterday.
1t is believed that several other
machines will be added to the list
now in operation, as several favorable
locations are still open. The City
has a number of improvements that
it wishes to carry into effect and
this means OF revenue will furnish
the capital to carry out the plans.
! This was one of the reasons that was
advanced by the members of the Board
that has allowed the machines to come
in under a new license. 1t places
the funds of the City in much better
condition than for many years and the
men who are footing the bills seem
! to be satisfied with the returns and
| the license imposed. So far as it has
worked to the good of all parties
! concerned.

STRIKE AT MASONIC.

Two Hundred Dollar Ore Found in

Two Hundred Dollar Ore. That's
what has been struck in the Joe
Weitfie tunnel on the Pittsburg claim
in the Masonic district. A ledge two
feet and q half cut and still seven feet
from the main ledge which is eight
feet wide and which surface assays
give $500 per ton. This is strictly a
gold strike. Tuesday afternoon Joe
Weitfie telephoned in to send out q
ten gallon key to celebrate the strike.
Our reporter was fortunate in being
ON the ground when the strike was
made and there is great rejoicing
throughout the camp.
This strike, alone, establishes the
fact that the claims made for the
Masonic district are backed by facts.
There are millions of ore in the dis.
trict and it only needs little money
and the energy displayed by Mr.
Weitfie to bring it out and prove to
the world that the Masonic distric.
is the greatest body of ore in the
United States. Knockers may knock
but the fact remains the same AMI
that is that Cripple Creek now hasa
real rival.-Bodie Index.

cleverest fakirs that ever lit out Of
Chicago to avoid arrest for swindlinz
wealthy people with unsuspicious
minds, and who has been engaged in
the mining business at Mill City, Hum
boldt county, has been sued in the
Chicago courts for $500 by DIR. AL
fred L. Cole, wealthy Chicago ply
stefan. The real sum lost by the
guilible doctor amounts to trifiins
$500, but if he can recover the $500
sued for he is willing to forego the
other $4,000 and call the matter quits
AS for the woman, she has suddenly
left Mill City, ostensibly to pay a visit
to Chicago, but it is believed she is
remaining in hiding for awhile to
avoid service being obtained on her
by the Illinois authorities.

The Last Night.

Monday evening the intescope will
close up for good and ALL
The performance given last evening
was exceedingly entertaining and be-
fore the conclusion Manager Meder
announced that on Monday the enter
tainment hall would close and that
the Band boys were to break their
organization. Both affairs are to be re-
GREETED as the Band has certainly
furnished many good time and the
47TsintescOpe has furnished more real
pleasure in the show line than has;
ever happened in this city. There
has never been a performance given
that has not been worth the price IF
admission and many of the scenes
shown have been from foreign shores
where a better idea could be gained
than from all the books in q library.
1t is to be hoped that some arrang-
ment can be made where by the
management can see its way clear
to keep the Kintescope in business.

EIectro-Magneaic Plant in Operation.

The electromagnetic separating
plant installed to make test on Blue
tstone ore is now in running order.
The power used is from the old engine
and boilers of the company which
erected the smelter, and the buildings
of the smelter are used to cover the
plant. The ore treated by this pro-
cess is first run through a rock break
er and then through a set of rolls
which brushes it to the fineness of
shot. The crushed product is then
run through a reverbrating furnace
which takes out all the sulphur in
the ore. and it then passes to an end
less belt tarveling at a low rate Ut
speed. Hanging above this belt are
two heavily charged magnates, and
belts passing ever these, crosswise to
the belt upon which the ore rides,
pick up every particle of metal charg-
ed material The result is concen-
trate which may be worked on the
ground or shipped. From all appear
ances the plant is going to hand.s
the ore successfully, but as there ar,
numerous adjustments to make where
so many different speeds are used in
conjunction, no regular run has YET
been made.
Mr.. Heller is expected here any day
now to investigate the workings 81

NATURAL Gas ON
T. J.. Brown Formerly Of Roscburg,

Natural gas has been discovered OF

Mr.. Brown is a former railroad man Of

August 10th, says;
Natural gas has been discovered on
johnson creek, near Lents Junction,
and, unless all the signs fail, not only
is IL there in paying quantities, but
there is plenty Of oil as well.
The discovery was made n couple Of
days ago by II. J. Brown, on whose
place Of IL acres this gas is, in a pecu.
liar manner. While searching for
crawhsh along the stream Mr., Brown
noticed that oil globules rose to the
surface and exploded. Mr.. Brown
held a lighted match TO one Of these
bubbles and IL shot up a tiny flame.
Somewhat surprised, Mr.. Brown Sc.
cured a box OF matches and spent the
afternoon testing the bubbles, and
found that for 100 yards the stream s
surface was covered with gaseous
globules that ignited at the touch Of
flame.
Another and more convincing ex-
pertinent occurred TO Mr.. Brown, and
he applied the ground test. A long
site was cut and plunged into the mud
