Earlier reports reassured the public
alarmed over the violence of German
counter-attacks against the left wing of
the allies, and contained definite state
ments of the security of the eastern
barrier.
Upholding the subdued optimism OF
the people, the most conservative critics
point out that every day lost by the
Germans at the Disc. Somme, Aisne,
and Meuse is a distinct gain for the
French, since the allies can fill the de-
pleted columns more easily than the
Germans. and have an ADVANTAGE in
communications. Furthermore the
Russian advance toward Germany is
reported now to be p real menace. a
problem TO be met weeks sooner than
the Germans had expected.

CREW LEASES NEVSB0Y MINE
 F0R 0NE YEAR
WORkMEN FROM COMPANY AND MILL PAY OWNERS FOURTH
 OF REVENUE.

Workmen of the Newsboy mine have taken over the property and will work it under the terms of an agreement entered into between the crew and the board of directors We'd nesday evening. The lease is for one year, and provides that the own CTS of the mine shall receive 25 per cent of the gross income. The Uorkmen of the mine have organized the Co-Operative Mining and Leasing company for the pur- pose of carrying on the work. To insure the faithful performance of the agreement, S1,OO0 has been de posted with the NeWsboy mining companv by the new organization.
 One of the terms of the agreement is that the mine shall be under the management of Leslie M, Drury, who has been the manager in the past, and who is member of the newly organized company.
 Another feature of the lease Is that two men shall be kept on de- velopment work at all times. The lessee agrees. too, to purchase all of the wood now on the ground and to pay for it monthly as it is con- sumed.
 It is further agreed that the lessee shall have the use of all the ma chinery and tools that are on the ground at the present time. In other words, the mine will be turn ed over to the new company just as it is for the latter to operate at its own expense, receiving in return 75 per cent of the revenue.
 The deal seems to be highly sat isfactory to all concerned. It is be- lieved by the men that by co-opera- tive effort they will be enabled to put the mine On good paying basis, and the directors of the Newsboy Mining company have expressed their belief that every one will be bene- flied by the deal.
 Last month the Newsboy mine pro duced about s4,500 and it cost about s4.O0O to operate it. It Is believed, however, by many of the members of the new compny that this showing can be materially improved under the cooperative plan of operation.

Says Chisana Is
 Good Small Camp

Chisana will be good small camp. according to the opinion of Tommy Lewis, the photographer who returned to Fairbanks Thursday from the new diggings. MT. Lewis left Fairbanks on Thanksgiving day, and mushed up the Panama by way of Gasoline city and from there to Chisana. He returned by way of Mccarthy, Chitina and the trail.
 On his way up the Panama. MT. Lewis learned that Tom DeCamp. Charles Knell and others, who had been prospecting on the Tokio, had found a few prospects, but nothing of importance. Walter Fisher was at Billy creek.
 When MT. Lewis reached Chisana, he found between 400 and 800 peo- pie there, though a number of peo- pie who had arrived there in the early times had left, discouraged. Jim Hagan and his partners, on the Big Eldorado. were taking out some dirt that would go 30 cents to the pan, the ground being little more than six feet in depth. MT. Lewis believes that the route by way of Gulkana is the best.
