spheres of influence. King Edward visited the czar in 1908 and thereby drew closer the bonds which unit ed the three powers. England $ fears for India were calmed, her interests were recognized to be serv- ed by the building of independent states in place of decadent Turkey as a block to Austrian expansion and she began to contemplate calm ly the prospect that Russian war ships would pass Constantinople in to the Mediterranean, though the jingoes thirty years earlier would have fought to prevent such con- cession.
 That Austrian aggression was a real danger to the triple entente was proved by the annexation of Bos- mia and by the threat of war to prevent Servian annexation of Al bania Hence Russia's readiness to prevent the chastisement of SerVia and her allies readiness to back her. That Russia is fast recovering from the wounds inflicted by Jap an is evident, hence the willingness of the triple alliance to strike be- fore she grows still stronger That the Austrian empire must crush Slav separatist agitation or be dis solved and cease to be a factor in the alliance was apparent Hence she struck with Germany's consent. France sees her opportunity for re- venge and England sees hers to end the German menace to her naval and colonial supremacy. The great pow CTS seem bent on seizing the pres ent occasion to clean up all old scores. When they have finished the map of Europe, Asia and Africa is likely to have many new lines marked on it in blood.

Realty Deal of
 Importance Made

One of several real estate deals of the last week was that of H. Claude Kelly's interest in the Horse Ehoe saloon to his partner, Romeo Hoyt, and later the latter sold that part of the property in which Suter's jewlery store is located to Arthur McGown and Walter Adami.
 The sale does not interfere with the partnership of MT. Kelly and MT Hoyt in the saloon business. The consideration in the sale made by MT. Kelly is about $12,O0O, and the other sale involved about $5.- 900.

DEPTH OF DIGGINGs.

On the bar the diggings are from two to four feet in depth. In the small creeks 1t is about 25 feet to bedrock The operators therefore plan on raising the gravel with a hydraulic lift as soon as they can obtain the necessary water which they intend to do by constructing a nine mile ditch from the Hootlan ana river at an approximate cost of $2O,OOO This work will probably be finished during the next winter and Messrs. Frank & Graham will then be able to keep ten hydraulic giants going as we'll as the neces- sary lifts for their creek operations.
 Frank & Graham have been con- ducting operations on one of the bars this summer most of their work being of an experimental ma ture. They have. however, found that, by the hydraulic method of mining ground on the bars going as low as 15 cents to the foot, where there is plenty of tailing room can cleanup from their experimental work netted them $5.0OO over and above their small expense of $500 and they are considerably elated over the showing made. In fact, they have at least ten years of work ahead of them with all of the water which it is possible to obtain.

 On Eureka creek proper, Johnson, Mccormack, Malmedahl X Gustafson are working on what is known as the old Chute ground but which is now owned by them. They had the first Bagley scraper ever put into operation in Interior Alaska and have been using 1t for the last five years successfully. They are now work ing on their second cut this season and expect to take out third be- fore the freezeup.

never been published, but it is known to pledge the three powers to join in resisting attack on the ter ritory of any one of them and to specify the disposition of their forces in case of attack by France or Russia or both, simultaneously. Originally it required Italy to send two armies to her French frontier and third into Germany to oper- ate against either France or Rus sia. Austria was to guard the Ad- liatic on land and sea and to help Germany against Russia on land Germany was expected to be suf- ficently occupied on her own iron tiers. The general terms of the treaty are believed to have remain ed unchanged although details may have been altered with each re- newal
 The relations of France and Rus sia became constantly more friendly, and the answer to the triple alliance was at first an understanding reach ed in the early sos, which relieved each nation of it's isolation. This ripened into an alliance in 1891, which, in tie language of the French premier, secured for France the support of Russia for the mainten- ance of the equilibrium in Europe. ' Russia obtained funds in France, a loan being subscribed twelve times over in 1891, while France obtained renewed prestige and security against German aggression. The extreme champions of a policy of revenge in terpreted the alliance as a pledge of Russian aid in a war to recover Alsace and Lorraine, but Russia made known that it's purpose was defensye not offensive

FEARED ENGLAND.

At that time both France and Russia were hostile to England. That country opposed Russian policy in the Balkans and Manchuria and suspected Russia of designs on In dia It had angered France by the occupation of Egypt by it's opposition to French colonial adventure in Ar rica and by offensive comment on the Dreyfus affair. France retaliat- ed by criticism of the Boer war. But enmity was meanwhile growing intense between England and Frances hereditary foe Germany. The latter country entered upon a policy of naval, colonial and com mercial expansion which brought her into rivalry with England all over the world and aroused Eng lands jealousy for her naval su- premacy. An exchange of visits between King Edward and the French president in 1903 caused their people to forget subjects of tenn porary irritation and to dwell on their more substantial common in terests In 1904 an agreement was made for settlement of all outstand- ing controversies, by which France gave England free hand in Egypt in exchange for support of French control of Morocco. After Russia g defeat by Japan France began to lean more heavily on England, and that country proved her sincerity by standing squarely with France when the Agadir incident in Moroc co brought France and Germany to the verge of war.
 UNDERSTANDING REACHED.
 British relations with Russia con- l tinued hostile until the close of the war between the latter country and Japan. They were at the breaking 1 point after the Doggerbank affair and the Anglo-Japanese alliance was | taken to be aimed at Russia. But M Delcasse, the French Foreign minister, strove assiduously to re-
 lieve this friction, and with such good success that in 1907 treaty was signed for the amicable settle
 ment of all questions pending and for the division of Persia into

depth to bedrock is about 90 feet, while at Stewart X McKenzie's work ings it is 40 feet deep.
 Howell X Cleveland estimate t al the tin which will come out of their ground during the present summer, will more than half pay for the cost of their mining They have now adopt ed a special means of saving it and will probably make a big shipment of 1t late in the fall or in the coming spring. At the present market price of tin, that found at Hot Springs by Howell X Cleveland is of an estimated value of 30 cents per square foot of bedrock.
 At the upper end of Sullivan creek on small tributary Bob Dodds and partners are taking out money by the opencut method. Jones X Co. are operating on Cache creek also tributary of Sullivan, while R. c. Koebsch is working a small crew on the Midnight Sun associa- tion on Sullivan creek proper where the big money was taken out by Pete Jepson several years ago.

WORKING OPEN CUT.

Just below Tofty on Sullivan creek Peterson & Fancher are working an opencut. They have been ground sluicing most of the summer when there was water enough but have taken out none of the pay gravel as yet However, they will set up their boxes within the next few days and will then put on a crew of men, Near them only up on the bench, Snyder, Bennett & Walker are operating with a small plant and crew
 On Pioneer creek. tributary of Eureka is what is generally consider ed to be the biggest thing in the way of future mining in the Hot Springs country. Frank X Ora ham are the owners of three miles of benches or bar diggings on the right limit of Pioneer and are min ing it by the hydraulic method. They also own all of the ground on four small tributaries which cut the big bar. The ground in most places on the small streams will go $7 to the square foot.
