Russian Flank Menaced.
The report of the withdrawal of the
German column which advanced
through Mlawa. northern Poland, in
dicates that the Russians recognized
IN time the menace to their right flank.
The old positions reassumed by the
Germans are fortified and, in the be-
lief of military critics, can be held
Tor a long time under normal condi-
lions, even against a greatly superior
force.
The German offensive in northern
Roland appears to be proceeding ac-
cording to program, reports from the
frontier say, without disarrangement
by the Russians.
That the Austrians were obliged to
evacuate Belgrade, Servia, after hav-
ing retired before the Servian army to
the southwark of Valjevo, points to
the advance of Unexpectedly strong
Servian forces. The assumption also
appears justified that the Austrians
may possibly have withdrawn troops
from Servia for use in West Galicia,
trusting to chance that the Servians
were incapable of a further decided
offensive.
Many Prisoners Captured.

German official press bureau says:
The Austrian general staff reports
mat $1,000 Russians have been taken
prisoners IN West Galicia. During the
last two weeks fighting in Poland the
Russians have lost about 100000 men.

A wave of intense anger has spread
over England because of the attack,
and bitter denunciation is heard every
where of a policy which permits the
shelling of undefended towns. The
fortress at the mouth of the Tees Is
supposed to give some protection to
the important shipping base of Hartle-
pool, but Whitby and Scarborough are
as open to the enemy as Is Atlantic
City, on the New Jersey coast.
Another Raid Is Expected.
Another raid is confidently expected
and the entire machinery of home de-
fense has been put into motion. On

THE MODERN FIGHTING STRATEGY

es are not very wet, but he believes
that with the coming of the heavy
winter rains conditions along the
Aisne will become terrible. The
tension is already so great that many
have reached the swapping point,
until the insane ward at Netley is
filled with officers and soldiers who
have lost their reason when disease
is added to the terror of battle.
One of the optimistic features of
the situation is an improvement in
the transport of the wounded from
he battle front to hospitals in Eng
land. Two weeks ago it often took
as long as three weeks to get the
wounded from the scene of the fight
ing to Southampton, and now the
same trip is made in from three to
four days. This speeding up has
resulted in a great acceleration in
the recovery of the dangerously
wounded, for they reach the hospi-
tails within the period Of infection.

MINING IMPORTANT
IN L0vEl0CK VALLEY

While agriculture forms the base
of the Lovelock Valleys prosperity,
few realize what an important part
mining plays in building up this
prosperity and furnishing the towns
with the extra outside business that
makes it independent of panic con
ditions, says the Lovelock Review
Miner.
There are many mining camps
within a radius of thirty to forty
miles around Lovelock, many of them
dating back into the early sixties and
showing productions of millions of
dollars, others of more recent orig
in with all the indications of max
ing similar production when suffi-
cient development work has been
done; and again others which have
reached the point where production
is well under way, the yellow metal
being sent out regularly to the
mint.
To the east of Lovelock is the
Humboldt range, and to the west the
MT III WCot
the StonehOuse range. LOvelOck
forms an ideal supply point for these
districts and the proximity of a
great agricultural belt to the mines
insures against the excessive pdice of
food. Automobile roads and tele-
phones connect the principal mines
with the town of Lovelock.
In the leading districts of produc-
ing class the Seven Troughs Coali-
ton mine, a property which has suf-
fered severely at times from the vi
cissitudes of the mining game, at
marvellous production, and today
even eclipsing that wonderful record.
At present this mine is turning out
bullion at the rate of $4,000 a day
from its mill.
The Coalition group lies in Seven
Troughs canyon. which cuts through
the Badger hills of the Stonehouse
range. The town of Seven Troughs
is about thirty miles northwest of
Lovelock.
The principal workings of the
Seven TrOughs mining district are
on the eastern slope of the Stone
house range in the midst of a yell

RECORD SHIPMENT
Of BELMONT NINE

1t will surprise most people to
learn that the bullion shipment of
the Belmont sent out last week was
a record breaker. exceeding the larg-
est single shipment of the company
by some 5000 ounces. The ship
ment last week weighed 1904
ounces, valued at $13O,6S0. The
premier shipment, made June 81,
1913, represented 1855 ounces,
valued at $133,652.75, and the diff
ference in values is due to the depre-
citation in the price of silver caused
by the war in Europe. However, it
will always stand as a bright spot on
the local horizon that the greatest
shipment of bullion from the famous
Belmont was sent out when silver
was lowest and the stock of the COM
pany suffering from the attack of
enemies.
In this connection it is gratifying
to learn that the Belmont Monitor, a
new company organized in Los An
geles by the Nelson brothers, is go
ing ahead steadily with construction
work, Notwithstanding the low price
of silver. Over SO per cent OF the
power line has been erected be-
tween Manhattan and Belmont and
the mill would be we'll under way
were it not for the fact that the
company is trying out a new crusher
that may imply a revolution In mill
construction. The test will occupy
sixty days and, if successful, the
mill will be rushed to completion.
Wittenberg's big strings are en-
gagged in hauling material from the
old Liberty mill at Liberty to Man
haitian and also completing delivery
of the mill material at Golden Ar
row. These contracts call for the
hauling of some $50 tons of ma
chinery. Out of the Liberty equip
ment the Wittenberg management
only took the tanks and will receive
the remainder of the new milling
plant from Denver on a thirty day
delivery contract.-BonanZa.

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 26.-Mod-
ern fighting strategy, at first rather
helpless before the aerial and ar
tillery factors, is beginning to adapt
itself to the new conditions and along
the great Aisne battle front many
fertile brains have been devising
schemes to meet these problems.
Probably the most useful work of
the aeroplane has been the location
of positions and consequent direction
of artillery fire often resulting in ter
rible losses to the attacked army.
According to a distinguished Lon
don surgeon, now serving as a vol
unteer in the army medical corps, the
British trOos have become adopts at
building dummy trenches to at
tract the enemy's fire. These
trenches are thrown up with great
fidelity and dummy figures and guns
are left in them patiently awaiting
the German aeroplane scouts. Be-
lieving he has discovered a new po-
sition, the aviator signals to the
nearest German battery, and a
storm Of shells fall upon the unoc-
cupie,2 trenches. 1t is usually only
after a great waste of valuable am
munition that the trick is discovered.
Another favOrite device is the in
vention of a British signaller where
by a Photograph can be operated at
a distance of two miles by means of
a telegraph wire. This heliOgraph
begins to send out messages purport-
inn to emanate from headquarters
staff, and believing they have To-
Gated the brains of the British army
the German artillery devotes it's at
tention to the spot marked by the
flashes from the heliograph. Some
times the heliograph is destroyed,
but usually the operator ceases
work VIXEN the fire becomes so heavy
that no staff in his senses would re-
main in the vicinity. A new APP
aratus is set up in some position
where the staff would be likely to
remove should it he driven from
the first selected place.
Along the front where the oppos-
ing trenches are within a few hun
dred yards of each other the allies
have devised a system of tormenting
the enemy by keeping them awake
at night. Regular skirmish details
are selected each night. and in a
thin skirmish line they advance as
close as possible and pour in a rat
Ting fire. The response is almost
instant and in such volume as to
indicate that the Germans believe a
general attack is beginning. Sew
eral times during the night these
tactics r repeated.

trary to the usual belief the trench

WATER POWER SURVEYS

Topographic engineers of the
United States geological survey have

graphic mapping = and the results
of their work have Just been pub
lished by the geological survey in
water supply paper 347, which cor
tains also a map of the area exam
ined.
The Snake river basin contains
many good storage sites, but only
a few have been utilized. About
AGO. 600 acre feet of water car be
stored in Jackson Lake by a dam
which has been constructed by the
reclamation service. The largest
site is at Swan Valley. on Snake riv-
er, where the water available is
approximately 100000 acre feet.
Irrigation has reached a high stage
of development in the Snake river
valley, yet approximately 100000
acre feet of water annually runs to
waste. Eventually these flood wa
ters will be stored and used to irri-
gate thousands of acres of arid
land. The streams Afford enormous
water powers. but only a few sites
have been developed owing to the
lack of market.
