the district court of Washoe county to
oust prospectors now working on what
they claim is government land In the
famous olinghouse district, In addi-

the richest mines in Nevada.
Buck Ingalls, famous mine, the prop

are affected. and the result Il IS
thought, will tie up portion Of the
great district for years to come. The
railroad claims ownership by reason OF
government grants of every other Sec

HOPES FOR SETTLEMENT
ST. Petersburg Thinks Terms Stated
May Be Greatly Modified

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1.-THE
Japnaese terms were known early this
morning only to very few of the high
est officials, who carefully guarded
their knowledge. The newspaper offices
were informed of the terms through the
Associated Press dispatches from
Portsmouth, and they rapidly became
known.
At the embassies and among the
officials of the various departments the
terms were declared to be excessive and
impossible of acceptance If they consti-
tuted the Japanese ultimatum, but gem
orally they were regarded merely as a
basis on which to negotiate further.
1t was argued at the embassies and
in other quarters that a settlement
might still be possible If certain fea-
lures, such as REIMBURSEMENT of the
interned warships and the limitation of
Russian naval power in the far east
were open to possible modification, and
that consequently the chances of reach
ing an understanding were not shut out.
