Private fortunes have increased so wonderfully in the last ten years that the rich man of decade ago is in only moderate circumstances today, judging his fortune by the present standard, but the number of million aires willing to be assessed as such reclines each year. In year or so we may expect to be without mil lionair in the country at assessment time,

An exchange says that out of the total amount of valuation of the terri tory the mines are assessed at but s4, 900, ,000, less than one-tenth of the valuation It is claimed by the mine owners that the mines represent about all there is of value in the territory, yet they escape taxation almost en- tirely. It is said on good authority that the output of the mines last year reached the sum of nearly $40, 900, 900, and of this sum the territory receives not one cent of revenue. Under this condition of affairs the legislature should pass some law requiring the mining interest to pay their just share of taxation

A Siberian wonder.

The scientists have for years been
perplexed over the wonderful frozen
well at Yakutsk, Siberia AS long ago
as 1928 it was announced that the
ground was frozen to an abnormal
depth at the place referred to. In the
summer Of 1929 Russian merchant
set gang of men to the task of ascer-
tanning the depth of the frozen stratum
They gave up the job after digging
some thirty feet in solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy Of Sci
ences took the matter in hand and be-
tween 1888 and 1874 dug to a depth Of
382 feet and then abandoned the shaft
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as rock. Natural cold could new
er penetrate to such depth, and the
phenomenon is still unexplained.

The Greatest Things Are the Simplest

The Greatest Things Are the Simplest
The trouble with us is that we look
too high and too far away for our
chances. We forget that the greatest
things are the simplest. In hunting for
roses we trample the daisies under our
feet. We are blind to the chances and
blessings near us because we are look
ing so far away for them Everything
depends upon the power of the mind to
see opportunities. It is the eye that can

A dispatch from the Paris cores

81 hear from a well informed Rus
sian source that the rendezvous of Adj
miral Rojestvensky's coaling fleet is
an island in Balintang channel, prob
ably Babuyan Claro. This island is
north of Luzon.
"A Russian coaling fleet, consisting
of 81 Golfers and three other vessels,
supposed to be carrying ammunition,
with sailing orders from Hamburg, re-
ceived instructions at Singapore that
the island in Balintang channel would
merely be point of rendezvous wher~
the coaling fleet might receive further
instructions from Rojestvensky.
GAS to the particular harbor or bay
where Rojestvensky fleet will coal, it
will in all probability be somewhere
on the coast of the island of Luzon,
that is to say, in American waters.
From this information it would
seem that Rojesvenskys intention is
to continue his route to southeast of
Formosa instead of through Formosa

A BIG LAND BATTLE
GENERAL LINEVITCH REPORTS AN
ENGAGEMENT is ON.
Their Position Strongly Entrenched-
They Have Been Able to Keep Back
the Japs-Fied Marshal Oyama
Bringing Heavy ArtiIlery-A Gen.
eral Assault Expected.

st. Petersburg, May 29.-Advices
have been received by the general
staff from General Linevitch stating
that a general engagement is in pro-
gress all along the line of the Rus
sian left flank and that two divisions
are engaged with the Japanese.
The Russian position is a strongly
entrenched one and up to the present
they have been able to hold their
own and beat back the repeated as
saults of the Japanese.
Up to nightfall Sunday the Russian
casualties were estimated at 500 and
those of the Japanese at about thrice
that number. The Japanese, accord
ing to the report, are moving against
the entire Russian line, although up to
the present the fighting has been con-
fined to the left. AS Oyama has NOV
ed quantities of heavy artillery into
position, it is expected the general as
sault will not be much longer delayed.
Cannonading at Sea.
Hongkong, May 21.-The steamer
Arabia, which arrived here Sunday
night, reports having heard heavy can
nonading off Pedro Blanco rocks, so
miles to the eastward of Hongkong.
Whether it was occasioned by war
ships at target practice or was an
encounter between Russian and Jap
anese vessels is not known. 1t is rum
ored in official circles that the Rus
sian Baltic fleet, comprising 40 arm
ored vessels, has successfully navi-
gated the Bashic channel. This report
is also unconfirmed. If true it is most
important, as it indicates that the
Russians have skillfully eluded Togo
and are in the Pacific ocean.
The Bashic channel, lying as it does,
directly south of Formosa and sup
posed to be guarded by the Japanese
fleet, offered Rojestvensky an open
route to the Pacific ocean, where he
would be safe from attack by the
Japanese torpedo craft. This latter re-
port has created a sensation, and. if
true, will rebound immensely to the
credit of Rojestvensky.
