Summary Of E0euts.)

Of the five AustrO- German col
umns which for some days appear
ed to be making steady progress
in their invasion of Poland, three
have suffered checks, according to
the official report from Russian
headquarters. The column which
was making a downward stroke
from Mlawa, on the east Prussian
frontier, and which was reported
in one dispatch from Petrograd to
be within fifteen miles of Warsaw,
was repulsed after an energetic
offensive, and under counter at
tacks from the Russians, was COM
PEELED to retire at some points.
Germans Repulsed.
The attacks of the main German
column which had its front on the
line between Lodz and Lowicz, and
which came down diagonally from
Thorn, were delivered with great
force, but. according to the Russian
account. were repulsed with heavy
losses to the invaders. That the Ger
mans attached great importance to
the success Of their attack here is
shown by the fact that in the two
days they faced the Russian trenches
seven times and were driven back by
a murderous fire.
Didn't Relieve craeow.
The other column which has suf-
fered is that composed Of German and
Austrian troops which has been trying
to outfiank the Russian left south of
Cracow. In this case 1t was the Rus
SLAMS who assumed the offensive, and
they claim that after a tenacious re-
sistance they defeated the Germans,
taking several guns and 1000 pris-
oners.
Pursuing the Russians.
The Germans declare they are pur-
suing the Russians to the south and
southeast of Lodz. Several American
correspondents were with the Rus.
sian army when the battle of LODI
broke, but nothing has been heard
from them for several days. Evident
1y they are under the hand of strict
censorship.
British military experts say that
three-quarters of the best material Of
the German army has been held In the
western theater Of war throughout the
campaign and that the troops opposed
to the Russians consist principally of
second line organizations.
Importance Of Capture.
For weeks military critics have
called Lodz ''the vital point Of the
Polish campaign" To The Germans
1t meant everything, according to
Major Moraht, German war expert.
To prevent an invasion by the Rus
SLAMS the kaiser's troops had to check
their enemy at the city and their cam
paign in doing so undoubtedly brought
out the greatest generalship the war
has seen.

slightly more than $4,000. OF this
number nearly 100000 have been
killed in battle. Press dispatches
from Berlin say the German official

The British list of dead to the middle
Of November is reported at 10000; the
Russian list, 10000.
Austria has put a million and half
men in the field and they have been
fighting constantly and desperately in
both western, eastern and southern
areas. Belgium's little army, origi-

ores, billed out at $4,000. value
The shipment was from the Ger

Quartz hill, owned by Alfred l. du-
Pont, of Wilmington, Delaware, and
consists of all the first class ores
that had been stored in the vaults
of the banks and county court house
for the past six months. The car
was consigned to Forbes Rickard at
Denver, consulting engineer Of the
mines,who will ship 1t to the Radium
Bank, of France, as they were the
highest bidders. The car left Cen

and no doubt will continue with 1t
on its journey to New York. There
was also shipped from the same
group 125 tons of concentrating ores
to Denver, for concentration. worth
$3.50 per ton, making total shipment
of $4,000 from these mines alone.

many Of the old abandoned mines
have been explored for this particu-
lar mineral, with the result that the
radium producing field extends from
Nevada southwark to the county line,
embracing the whole of Russell Gulch
district, also the northern portion of
the county is proving rich in uran-
as its gold and silver, until today
Gilpin county leads the world in the
production OF this precious element.
The next year will undoubtedly wit

anium ores, as the field has become
extensive and many mines are being
placed in position for steady ship

concentration and extraction plants
now erected. The Kirk mine that
was the first uranium mine to ship
its ore to Bohemia for sale, has been
turned over to a company that will
