MEXICAN MINE AT TREADWELL
 BEING ENLARGED

TREADWELL. Oct lS.-The Mexi- can shaft according to an announce ment made this morning. Is to be greatly enlarged and deepened inn mediately. In fact preliminary work has already started. The shaft is to be sunk nearly 400 feet deeper and is to be of five compartments. The pres ent shaft is composed of three com partments and Q Underway. and is a little over HOO feet deep.
 Work has been started on the 1750 and 2100 foot levels Of the mine work ings where crosscuts will be run to points under the bottom of the shaft. and when those points arc reached raises win be run to connect with the shaft This method of shalt work is better than sinking as the waste does not have to be hoisted and is more easily handled
 The shaft will be 6x32 feet inside the timbers and will have four com partments. each 6x6 and a Underway 3xS. A new steel headframe will be built and an electric hoist win be in- stalled later The present steam hoist win be used. and ore will be raised during the time the improvements are being carried out.

NOTED LECTURER IS
 ON WAY TO JUNEAU

In all probability Father P B Don nelly, a noted lecturer from London, England, will soon be in Juneau the guest of Father Kennelly
 Father Donnelly, who is known as one of the greatest orators Of the day, is at present in Ketchilgan as one of Che Lyceum Bureau lecturers. While in Ketchillan he is using as his sub. ject Mexico and Central America. both of which countries he has re- gently paid an extended visit
 Although no definite word has been received from Father Donnelly since his arrival at Ketchikan, some time ago he planned, in correspondence with Father J. A. Kenneliy to come on to Juneau after leaving Ketchilan and lecture both here and at Doug las Tomorrow's mail will probably bring word of the date when he wiu arrive.
 Every effort is being made to ar. range for Father Donnelly to include Juneau and Douglas in his Alaska trip, both because those who know him feel sure that he will greatly enjoy coming farther north, and because those who have heard him lecture know what a rare treat it would be to have him deliver on address here
 Father Donneliy has visited Alaska twice before. He was in Juneau the last time two years ago last spring Those who heard him were greatly impressed with his eloquence

ADMINISTRATION MILITARY PLAN
 IS COMP PROMISE

WASHINGTON. Oct 18.-The de- tails of the administration plon of Ma tional defense became known official ly Saturday. They include a six-year program which, in that time, will bring the United States army, with reserves, up Co 100000 trained men, and seven year building program for the navy during which time six teen capital ships-ten superdread- naughts and six powerful battle cruis- CTS will be added to the navy. The plans for the navy also Include g5 submarines, 50 torpedo boat destroy CTS. 10 scout cruisers of great speed and with small but powerful batteries, with Q proportionate increase in the number of the officers and men. it is planned that all or these ships shall be started within tho next five years, and an completed in the seven year period. with the beginning of a sudi- cient number Of ships after the five year period to keep the standard of the navy on Che increase.
 The estimates for the National de- fense program contemplate an expen- allure for Che navy of SiS200O.O0O and for the army S2l0.O0O.000 The increase in the cost for the first year will be approximately StlO.ooO.Oo0 It Is proposed that the ten battleships and six bettle-cruisers shall be the strongest v.rships anoal They will cost approximately S1S,oO0,O00 each.
 It Is proposed that Che keels of two battleships shall be laid ench year for five years. and that tho battle cruisers shall al be started within the first three years.
 The plan also contemplates the c0n- struction or purchase of adequate aux Hilary crafts

 plan. which contemplates doubling the rate of construction Of nrst-iine- of-battle vessels for the next five years. and an even greater increase in the construction of other classes of vessels for that period.
 The army plan provides for a stand ing regular army Of approximately 14O.O00. The present maximum strength of che army is 100000. and the usual actual strength is 10000 to l5.OOO under that number

INVADERS DEFEATED IN SERBIA
 BY ARMY OF ALLIES

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-With aI- lied assistance, the Serbians have defeated the Bulgarian at- tack at vilandOvo, turning the enemy's advance into a headIOng retreat beyond their own bOrd- CT. The arrival of French troops at the psychological moment, while the Serbians were strug- gling with Che Bulgarian army, which had been reinforced by 10000 fresh troops, and when the battle still hung in the bal ance, gave to the contest dra- mstic qualities which for the moment have completely eclip- sed the military exploits in Oth- CT theatres of the war.
 The successful defeat of the Bulgarian invasion is regarded here as one that cannot fail to have tremendous influence in the war in the Balkans.
