EAGLE RIVER WORKING
 ON 1OOO-F00T LEVEL

The little 1O.stamp mill at the Eagle river mines is pounding away on good ore taken from a depth of 1000 feet in the mine at the present time and is giving satisfactory results accord ing to General Manager B. L. Thane who recently made a trip of inspect ion to the property, accompanied by F. Y. Mallory, president of the com pany
 Much has been done in the way of improvements of late. A new wharf has been built and new equipment
 for the mine installed throughout. There will he no cessation in the op- erations at Eagle river and in time it is planned to add other units to the present mill until the capacity has
 been greatly increased. The idea is to have the mine development and ore reduction works grow at the same relative pace.

BIRCH SAYS WAR
 WON'T HURT ALASKA

As man thoroughly familiar with the copper market and conditions per taining thereto. stephen Birch is competent to speak with authority as to the effect of the European war on the Prince William Sound and Copper River districts. He takes a hopeful view of the future and dis pels the various canards that have heretofore been published without any authority relative to the closing down of the Bonanza and other mines.
 Mir. Birch points out that the high values of the ores taken from this section will justify the operation of these mines when lower grade prop critics in other parts of the United States have to close. While real. izing the uncertainty of the future Mir. Birch is of the opinion that for the present at least there is no oc- casion for change in the plans of his company concerning the continued operations of the Bonanza and Jumbo mines at Kennecott and the mine at Latouche.
 And that would mean also that the Copper River & Northwestern Rail. way will continue to be operated as heretofore. And instead of throwing any discouragement as to the future of this section Mir. Birch goes further and strongly intimates that SO soon as cokeing coal Is available that a shelter will be erected at some To. cation on Prince William Sound.
 And of course we all believe that the logical point for this enterprise is in the immediate vicinity of Cor dova. For here the ores of the inter for and the coal from Bering River would meet at tidewater the ores to be brought by barge from Latouche, Ellamar and other developments on the Sound. Taken as a whole the in. terview with Mir Birch should stimu. late confidence and hope in the peo- pie of CordOva and the Copper River section, in the immediate and future outlook for this country. The import. ant thing now is for Congress to take action that will throw open for de, velopment the coal fields of Alaska. -Cordova Alaskan.

SWISS GUARDS ARE
 PROMINENT AT VATICAN

ROME, Aug. 29.-Through all the reports of the magnificent and mar yelous ceremonies to take place at the Vatican during the election of Q successor to the late Pope Plus x. will run the names of the picturesque corps of Vatican guards, In all of the solemn ceremonies some one of the bodies of Papal guards will take part.
 The Swiss Guards are probably the best known, but the Noble Guards are the most disting tshed. The latter or ganizatlon is composed of the. sons of noble Italian families, although 1t has now been so arranged that noble. man of any part of Europe is eligible to service.
 The Noble Guards has about sixty members. It was originally Q regi- ment of light cavalry. It has a captain in command, one sub lieutenant, eight lance corporals, one lance corporal with the rank of adjutant, eight ca dets, one cadet adjutant one quarter master of ordance, four trumpeters, and about forty.eight guards. The captain has a rank as lieutenantgen- eral of regulars, one-third of the priv ates rank as captains, one-third as lIeutenants, and the remainder as sub lieutenants.
 For several centuries, Swiss merce- naries, known as the Swiss Guards have protected the persons of the Popes. They earned an unrivalled reputation for heroism and gallantry. Recently this guard, which until then had nothing to mar its reputation, practically went on strike against the discipline of Colonel Respond its com mander. Many of it's members were dismissed at that time, but their places have been filled since,

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
 NEARLY COMPLETED

General Manager B. L. Thane of the Kensington Mining company. an nounced today that the development program mapped out for the Ken sington mines would be finished in another month or so and that oper- ations would cease at that time until plans were completed for erecting ore reduction works.
 There has been a tremendous amount of development work done at Ken sington, the extension of the Ken sington crosscut to the Peterson lode, being a remarkable feature of the work. The Kensington mines from present indications will be one of the big producers of the Lynn canal section of the Juneau Gold belt,

OF
 GREAT NAVAL FIGHT

LONDON, Aug. 29. - Rear Admiral Sir David Beatty, commanding the British forces, with strong array of torpedo boat destroyers. battle cruis- CTS and little cruisers and submarines, attacked the Germans in Helgoland Eight early yesterday morning.
 The protected cruiser Mainz was sent to the bolton in an engagement with the little cruiser squadron, while the battle squadron sank another cruiser of the Coeln class.
 In the general fighting, two of the German destroyers were riddled and sunk, while many others were badly damaged. Many German destroyers were damaged.
 One cruiser, battle-scarred and on fire, drifted away in the mist and was lost sight of.
 The British criuser squadron, ac- cordlng to the semi.oflcial report of the battle, although attacked by sub marine boats and menaced by floating mines and the guns of the German warships, suffered no serious losses,
 The cruiser Amethyst and the tor pedo-boat destroyer Laertes were dam aged but all the ships in the British fleet were afIoat at the end of the engagement. The British loss of life was not great.
 In the battle cruiser squadron were the flagship Lion, the New Zealand, the Queen Mary and the Princess Roy al, commanded by Rear Admiral Beat ty. while Rear Admiral Moore. Rear Admiral Christian, Commodore Good enough and Commodore Tyrwritt had charge of other contingents.
 A wireless despatch received last night from one of the criusers said she was making for port with men wounded in the engagement.
 The Mainz and the vessel of the Coeln class were protected cruises, 4O2 feet long and dlsplacing 4,2S0 tons, They had speed of slightly more than 25 knots an hour.
 Fight Sharp and Terrible
 The engagement lasted about eight hours and the fighting was sharp and terrible, according to dispatch to- The Evening News from Harwich. The correspondent says this description of the light was given by crews of the British destroyers which took part in the engagement and have arrived att Harwich.
 The official bureau of information has announced that two trawlers, sweeping for mines. have been sunk by mines. Five members of the crews of the trawlers are missing and eight others are dead.
 The source of the floating mines which have sunk SO many small craft in the North Sea during the past few days seems to keep lookout for "a trawler painted black, with white num- bers on her funnel" and when 1t Is seen to notify the authorities immed- lately.
 A dispatch to Lloyds from Nikolay- ey. Russia, says the small passen- ger steamship Express, from odessa for Nikolayey, struck a mine on Aug ust II and was destroyed Fitty.four persons perished. but the bulk of the passengers and crew was picked up by other steamers.

TRAIL VICTIM WAS
 SHOT FROM BEHIND

VALDEZ. Sept. 1.-Dr. c. A.

LABOR DAY BAIL
 WAS GREAT SUCCESS

 The floor was in excellent condition, and the music all that could be de- sired. The large orchestra under the leadership of Prof. John Sumpf was stationed in the center of the great floor. Excellent punch was served at convenient booth The band boys were all out in uniform and everyone of them playing the host in excellent manner. There was not dull mom- ent during the entire evening.
 Many attended from Perseverance, Thane, Treadwell and Douglas. and special ferries operated to take the people living in channel towns home after the ball was over.

Gravity of a Spinning Top.

a spinning top is kept from falling
because of the speed with which it re-
wolves. The attraction of gravitation
is temporarily overcome by the centrif-
ugal force produced by the rotation of
the top when it is spun. Each part
of the top is subject to the same cen
trifugal force as each other part at the
same distance from the axis of rota-
ton and TO no greater force, so that
there is no cause for the top being
pulled in any particular direction by
the force of gravity. AS soon as the
centrifugal force begins to lessen be-
cause OF lessening speed of rotation the
attraction of gravity begins to be ex-
erted again and the top begins TO wob.
BILE. When the spinning motion d.
minishes to such an extent that the
attraction of gravitation becomes
greater than the centrifugal force the
top falls TO one side.
