ALLIES COUNTER|NG
IN BALKAN THEATRE
Occupy StrumitZa and Land
Troops at Bulgaria's New
ly Acquired Port.
HEAVY FIGHTING AT FRONT
Servians Putting Up Better Showing
Than Expected, With Entente
Powers Rushing Them Aid.

London, Oct. 1S.-Reports that the
allies have occupied Strumitiza and
landed at Enos, which recently was
transferred from Turkish to Bulgar-
ian rule. has caused a more optimis-
tic feeling throughout the allies
countries.
AS to the progress of the Near
Eastern campaign it is known from
both Servian and German accounts
that Field Marshal Won Mackensen IS
army is meeting with greater resis-
tance than was expected, and al
though it is probable that the Serv-
ians eventually must fall back on
stronger strategic position, the
fact that the allies are bringing heavy
forces against the Bulgarians, and so
placing them that the Bulgarians will
be forced to divide their armies, Civ
es hope here that the Germans may
be balked in their latest attempt to
reach the sea and bring assistance
to the Turks.
STUBBORN RESISTANCE.
All along the line the Servians and
their Montnegrin neighbors, also at
tached, are offering stubborn resis-
tance to both Austro-G ermans and
Bulgarians, and while they have
given up a number of towns and DO
sitions they have not yet reached the
line on which they expect to make
their stand
The Bulgarians, SO far as can be
learned. have made progress only in
he /iOtokopska valley near the river
Morava. north of the town Of Vrania.
where they blew up bridge There
is no confirmation of a report that
they cut the railway in this district.
The bridge was near the railway. Tho
Bulgarian force which penetrated the
valley is not a large one.
AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
The capture of StrumitZa is of real
strategic value as its occupation per
mtts the defense of the southern end
OF the railway and compels the Rul-
garians to keep force there. Enos,
too, is of value, as, although not a
good landing place, its occupation
threatens Dedeagatch, which has a
great harbor and is fortified and
mined. The civilian population has
left Dedeagatch, which is entirely in
'he hands of the military under Ger
man supervision.

SINKING ON THE CAABA.

without saying anything about If
or pre-hxing his activities with ex.
traVagant promises, Harry Newton is
going ahead developing the Caaba
mine, taking out and concentrating tbo
ore. At the request of Mr.. Newton
thls paper has remained silent in re-.
gard to his operations, but they have
now gone SO far that no confidence is
abused by referring to what is being
done at this property, one of the few
IN active operation in this vicinity at
this time. The Caaba Is one among
the hrst claims staked out in northern
OKanogan county, so long ago that the
date is lost to memory. Several indi-
viduals during the intervening years
have taken hold of this property only
to work 1t for short time and then
let go of it. The last, prior to the
present operator, to take a fall out of
the Caaba was Harper, and had he.
with his superabundance of energy.
confined his holdings and investiga-
tions to that one claim, there is hardly
question but that he would have sue
ceeded in making paying mine. That
is anotehr story, however. Mr.. Newton,
who has had large experience in min
ing and mill operating at Republic
and elsewhere, examined the Caaba.
after the brief career of Mr.. Harper,
and was so favorabl, impressed with
the appearance of the vast mineral
showing and uniformity of assays from
the ore, for it is an exceptionally large
ledge, strongly mineralized, that he
secured bond on the property some
months ago. He has conducted work
carefully and as economically as pos
sible, working as he is on limited cap
ital, and what he has been able to ac-
complish convinces him that the claim
has great promise. He has started in
to sink another 100 feet on the ledge,
which will give him a working depth
of 200 feet. At the 200 foot level he
will DRIFT on the ledge. AS the ore so
far has improved with depth, there is
every reason to believe that it will con-
tinue to improve, especially as native
copper is appearing in the quartz
Even If the present character of the
ore continues the value is sufficient
to insure the mine paying we'll. At
the present time Mr.. Newton is in the
east for the purpose of raising funds
with which to carry out extensive and
thorough development work.
