silverton for Experiment Station.

Denver.-Backed by State Commits
sioner of Mines Henahen. the people
of Silverton are making an effort to
have the mining experimental station,
which will be established in Colorado
by bill passed by Congress, located
at Silverton. According to Henahen,
when the metallurgical processes are
worked out on Silverton ores, the
problem of treating the ores of every
district of the state will have been
solved. This is due to the fact that
there are ten mining districts in that
county and the ore in each is of a
different character.

BRITISH AN FRENCH RETREAT
BEFORE ADVANCING BULGARS
German Dian Seems To Be To Drive
Allies From scsbian Soil.

London, Dec. 8.-Imperilled
by a Bulgar- German outfanking
movement, the British and
French have retreated 10 miles
from their Krivolak position to
Demir Kapu, 20 miles from the
Greek border.
Heavy attacks are being lodg-
ed against this new front. All
so far have been repulsed, ac-
cording to official dispatches
from Paris and reports from
correspondents at the front.
The occupation of Kevali, 10
miles south of Monastir, by a
mixed force of Germans and
Bularians forced the Allied
withdrawal. They have now
entrenched themselves along
the Saloniki-Nish railway, their
supply line.
The Allies right wing in the
Strumitza region is under heavy
attack. The Bulgarians are car
rying on an almost incessant
bombardment of the British
troops which comprise this
wing. Infantry attacks so far
have failed, a Salonke dispatch
states. The Allied losses are re-
ported to be small.
The majority Of the German
strength in the Balkans is now
being thrown against the Allies
in an effort to drive them from
Serbian soil. The entire army
of General Won Gallwitz is re-
ported to have reached the
southern front, while Bulgarian
forces, estimated at more than
two divisions, are concentrating
in the Dorian region.
Further pursuit of the Ser
bian troops retreating into
Montenegro and Albania is re-
ported from Vienna and Berlin.
Armed Albanians are co-operat-
ing with the Teutons. The cap
ture of more than 1000 addi-
tional prisoners, 300 of whom
are Montenegrins, is claimed by
Vienna.
