LONDON, Nov. 24.-The German army commanded by General linden berg has been beaten and broken and is retreating to the border of Po- land to reform behind the frontier forts. The Russians are in pursuit of the invading force and have in- flicted heavy losses upon them, cap- turing many prisoners and supplies.
 Hindenberg Reinforced Too Late.
 The German general staff sent re- Inducements to General Hindenberg in an effort to help him stem the tide of Russians who turned upon him between the Wartha and Vistula riv- CTS. The endorsements, however, reached the scene hours after the battle was decided. The poor sys- tenn of transportation in Poland pre- vented quick action by the Germans and the Polanders had destroyed a number of bridges after they had been repaired by the kaiser's pio- neers and thus delayed the advance to aid Hindenberg.
 Russians Again Attack CracoW.
 The German-Austrian forces have resumed the attack at Cracow which was temporarily stopped in order to send troops to. threaten the flank of Hindenberg's army.e With the defeat of the German army in Poland the troops have again turned towards the object of reducing Cracow, the form CT capital of Poland.

British Airmen RepuIsed.
 BERLIN, Nov. 24.-The new aero guns mounted about the Zeppelin works of the government located at Frederichscafen repulsed an attack made last evening by three British air scouts. The machines were fore ed to retire without having damaged the big sheds or any of the Zeppelins. The British dropped several bombs but as they were forced to remain at an altitude of 4,OO0 feet the aim was poor and no damage was done. This is the third raid made by the British into Germany.

SAM ORCHARD IN TOWN

Sam c. Orchard arrived down from Shrimp bay last night on a trip for supplies for the work on the power plant of the pulp mill to be erected at that place. He reports that the heavy rains of the latter part of last week raised the water of the lake from which they will get their power higher than there were evidences of it ever having been before. Fortunately the false work for their dam had not been put in place owing to the frost prior to the rain, so no damage was dane by the high water. Had the false work and cement forms been In place, the damage would probably have been consider able. Work on the dam will be pushed from now on so as to be finished before more high water occurs.

IS INTERESTING CASE

The water right case in which Judge Jennings denied an in- junction to the Alaska Juneau company in its application a- gainst the Ebner companys, Is one of considerable interest to mining men. According to the evidence adduced the Alaska Juneau company had been us- ing the water for some time. Ii claimed that in December the water was taken out of the creek by the Ebner company at il point above the intake of the Alaska Juneau company. and not returned to the creek un- till after 1t was carried pas the plaintiff company's intak.,. Ii also developed at the hearing that the Ebner company had been using the water some time and turning it back into the creek before it reached the place where it Was taken out by inc Alaska Juneau company, but after the latter had begup work on their ditch the Ebneg company also begun work oa
 ditch to convey the water D Shady Bend. It was also shown the water was put to use by November, 1910, and used by # ever since. and that the ED

SANTA ANA HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE

According to Capt, H. H. Bull lene the Santa Ana had a very narrow escape of laundering in Seattle harbor last Wednes- day, just as she was loaded to leave for this port where she arrived this morning. It ap- pears that she discharges her ashes through a port that is under water when she is load ed. and which has an automatic valve to keep the water out. In some manner this valve failed ito work on Wednesday, and when the cargo settled the boatdeep enough for the port to be below the water level, the whole of Elliott Bay started to rush i'll. The engineer noti- fled the captain of the situation and the latter put his crew to work piling the cargo over on 10 the other side to raise the chute out of the water, at the same time leading the vessel for the beach. The water rose so high that the fires under the boilers were put out, steam drop ped, and it looked as though she would sarely go to the bot tom before she could be beach, ed. About this time however, the effect of moving the deck load Of lumber and oil over be- gan to befelt and the vessel started to list away from the leak, so that in few minutes men could be sent over the side where tkey rigged tempor- rary dam to hold back the water. The valve was then re- paired and the vessels pumps soon lad her cleared. Forum ately the lower cargo was all coal, 50 that none of the cargo was damaged by the water, whlcn was up to within foot of the main deck before the ieai was stopped. The Santa Ana has a general cargo for Southeastern Alaska points and teok freight for the Chicagof nine from this place which was
 eft here by one of the big lin- srs recently. The probabilities are that the Santa Ana will be converted into an oil burner ssfa of crate out of Ketchikan fHAsk .dSOu
