back in great disorder. The lombard
mcnt of the French position continues
with the Germans using their heaviest
artillery. 1t is believed that under
cover of this fire they are already with

forces,
The Germans are making a desperate
effort against Verdun and the lower
lines of the forts in an effort to reduce
them, but the official reports reaching
here say that all are still intact.
Summing UP the entire situation 1t
was stated at the War Office today that
it has never looked so promising since
the commencement of the war.
For the first time since the begin

information as to the identity of the
commanding officers of the Allies has
been given out. The right wing in Lor-
raine is commanded by General Pau
the centre is directed by Generals
Maunary and Duvail; the left by Sir
John French, and the extreme left by
Generals Decuriers and Decastelnau.

ish a strategic position on the hills that
command the roads from Peronne to
Gonzeacourt and on to Cambrai, where
the British suffered so severely three
weeks ago, and from Peronne to st.
Quentin north toward Belllcourt, and
north by east toward Guise.
1t is believed that as a result of this
latest success the British will now be
able to push the Germans entirely from
the neighborhood of st. Quentin and
reoccupy that village. 1t is considered
certain that the main German forces
have already left it, as the unofficial
reports place the British advance guard
in that citys suburbs

FEAR THAT MAN IS
 LOST NEAR SUSITNA

Word has just been received in Seward of the possible loss of pros pector by the name of Richardson. Richardson in company with one Dr. Hawes, left Susitna Station about q month ago to visit some placer ground on the upper reaches of the Susitna river. When the party got well up the river, Richardson left camp one morning saying that he would take a look over another creek and would be back that night. Dr. Hawes was to stay with the outfit. That night Ric- hardson did not return and Hawes after spending a week in camp alone made a cashe of the grub and made the trip back to Susitna station alone. Richardson has not shown up yet and grave fears are entertained for his safety although it is possible that he may still be alive and well as there are lots of game and berries in that section and he had gun when he dis appeared.

PALMER CREEK STAMP
 MILL MOST SUCCESSFUL
Jack Hirshey Is Taking Out Twenty
 Ounces Every Day

Jack Hirshey who is operating a small stamp mill on his Palmer Creek property is meeting with most grati- flying success according to reports reaching Seward from Hope. MT. Hirshey is only able to put through from half ton to ton of ore day on account of his limited milling ca pacity but with this small equipment is taking twenty ounces off the plates every day and mas been doing this for the past four weeks.
 He is sinking on the ore and so far the values seem to get better with depth. He has about twenty inches of high grade ore in sight that will run away up and much of it will run close to thousand dollars per ton. This year will be the last year that he will use the small mill that he is operating with at present as he is planning on shipping in a five-stamp mill this winter and getting it all set up and ready for business by spring. This winter will be spent in doing de- velopment work and if the ledge should hold it's present size and value the cleanups next summer with a good sized milling unit will be something to tell chechacos about.

TRADE COMMISSION
 BILL ADOPTED
Remarkable New Attempt to Regu-
 late Trade Approved by Senate

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The con ference report on the federal trade commission bill has been adopted by the senate by vote of forty-three to five. The senators voting against it were Burton, Gallinger, McCumber, Oliver and Shoot. The bill is intend ed to regulate trade as the interstate commerce commission regulates it within it's own particular domain.
 It is regarded as extraordinary that the majority was so large as many senators were supposed to have busi- ness affiliations which would almost surely influence them against the measure.
