days. but after terrific slaughter end
ed in a new check. And with the
check the Dardanelles campaign fell to
deadlock. BY October / it had cost
the British alone more than 100000
casualties The French loss Is not
known. For this enormous slaughter
there was nothing to show except
few square miles of ground, some
trenches huddled under the crests of
the hills, which the Turks still hold,
precarious position. destitute of safe
sea bases.
Had the British been able to hold
Sarf Bahr they would have won the
campaign. Had they been able to push
on after the first landing, they would
probably have carried Achi Baba, still
lightly held by the Turk. Twice sue
cess has just slipped through their fin
gers. Only military men can guess
now whether the successor to Sir Ian
Hamilton, who has been recalled, will
be asked to try again or commissioned
to withdraw his army from its perilous
post and take it to the mainland. This
will be an operation fraught with in
calculable peril. But so far as 1t is
possible to see now, the military opera
tons, from the purely military aspect,
have been a complete failure, and they
have been responsible for the equally
grave collapse of allied diplomacy in
the Balkans.

fire from Turkish batteries on the Ash
attic shore near the site of Troy. East
, of Cape Hellas as far as Gaba Tepe the
character of the coast was such as to
make landing operations difficult, and
an effort here ended in relative failure.
The first problem of Sir Ian Hamilton
was to get his troops ashore. and he
was obliged to make general attempt
that is, to fling his forces at every
available landing place at once-in or
der to avoid the destruction of each
separate landing party by the Turks.
who could easily concentrate over
Whelming numbers at any threatened
point. The landing cost $4,000 British
casualties-that is, a number equal to
the whole of the first American expe
dition to Santiago in 1898. -
The landing Was made mainly at the
toe from Cape Hellas to Sedul Bahr.
Meantime the French landed on the
Aslatic side, near the site Of Troy, and
for the moment SO engaged the Asiatic
batteries that Morto bay was occupied.
At the, same time other parties were
put ashore at the ankle, above Gaba
lepe, and below it on the instep, east
of Cape Hellas and Gaba Tepe. But
these two landing parties were in
stantly checked. and until the last few
days could make no progress whatever.

The third and last attack was made

Suvla Cape and the seward slopes of

the ridge of hills extending from Sari

Saros, marked on the map Hanafart

or Anafarta, to get hold of Sari Bahr
and flow over the whole range down

More than 100000 men were used in
this attack; 1t was momentarily sue

retook it, and continued to hold a Dor

it was the wiser policy to keep the

Thus it was that allied diplomacy In

Military and Naval.
1t now remains to summarize briefly
the history of the military and naval
operations The naval attack began in
February and terminated after the
sinking of the Bouvet, Ocean and IRE
sistible, March IS. 1t was not until
April 25 the first troops of the expe-
dictionary army began to land on the
Gallipoli peninsula. This promontory
is perhaps fifty miles long, extending
westward from the European mainland,
with the Dardanelles straits to the
south and the Gulf of Saros to the
north. In his first report Sir Ian Ham
ilton compared it to a well worn boot,
and this figure makes 1t easy to de-
scribe both the main features of the
battlefield and the progress of the
conflict itself.
Thus, the toe of the boot Is the west
ern end of the peninsula. the extreme
point of which is Cape Hellas, and the
notable feature is the town of Sedul
Bahr, the site of the Turkish forts
commanding the entrance to the straits
and the scene of the first fighting.
Eastward from Sedul Bahr. along the
sole of the boot to the heel, is slightly
less than ten miles. and exactly at the
heel is the narrow point in the Oar
danelles, commanded by cluster of
Turkish forts on the Gallipoli PENN
sula and faced by others on the Ash
attic shore
at the ankle, is curving bay-begin-
ming at the hill of Gaba Tepe and end
ing at Suvla bay-a stretch of three or
four miles, dominated by the ridge of
Sari Bahr, some 900 feet over the Gulf
of Saros. From Cape Hellas to Suvla
bay is perhaps twelve miles. At Gaba
Tepe, the ankle, the Gallipoli penin-
sula is about five miles wide; at the
toe, between Sedul Bahr and Cape
Hellas. less than two.
The objective of the allied forces
was the cluster of forts just under the
heel. above the village of Kilid Bahr
To reach this two ways were open.
Troops could be landed along the shore

The combined product of the four great plants of the district within the deXt two years promises to produce profits of s75,000,000 annually. as indicated by present plans for expansion The payrolls will probably reach S1,0O0.- 900 month. The development of all of these ore bodies is in the hands of interests possessed of am pie capital, without which these great riches could not be retrieved. The plants now established assure the stability of the Juneau district With the added impetus to placer and quartz mining, Alaska should ultimately get into the class Of the South African Rand as a gold producer.

THE MAD RUSH FOR GOLD,

Under the above title Arthur A Dietz, of Los Angeles, has given to the world a plain, straightforward narrative of early adventure and fearful hardship in Alaska, by the side of which the widest flights of Arctic fiction become tame.
 The author is widely known in this city as the director of iti play ground department and as former physical director of the Y. M. 2. A., in New York and other places. It was while living in New York, in 1897, that the lure of the lllondike bit him, and he organized party of eighteen, including himself. to engage in what he justly termed a mad rush for gold"
 Not one of the party was ill the least fitted by experience for the ad- venture, which soon developed into as crazy an undertaking as the lu man mind ever conceived. Outfit ting at Seattle, where they loaded up with a mass of stuff, mostly use less, the party chartered a rotten old bark to take them north. Al ter narrowly escaping shipwreck, they landed at an Eskimo village, secured alleged guides and startel to cross the arms of the grea! Nal aspina glacier, believing that h. that route they could reach Diselchant ment bay.
 The rest of the story is tragic. Crossing the glacier. every no" and then one of the party. with hts dogs and sled, would drop into a bottom less crevasse and be seen no more The long Arctic night of seven months was at hand, and the gla- cier was barely passed whe, ell haste had to be made to prepare winter quarters. A log house was built, fuel stacked up and g. dark future faced with what courage was possible. With the coming of day, light again, everybody started dig ging and banning for gold, without were lost in the trackless waste of the frozen north, the remnant of the party trekked westward, hoping to strike settlement. They did find an Indian village and there tr- cured some relief Finally they marched on until they reached ;!ie shores of the Pacific. Puiltuis huge fire of driftwood on the beach, they attracted the attention of the revenue cutter Wolcott, the crew of which came ashore and rescued the four survivors, all that we:e left of the eighteen sanguine gold hunters

DRIVING WORK AT
 GROUNDHOG BASIN

MT. J. G. Calvin arrived in from the mining property in Groundhog basin the first of the week In sneaf ing of the development of the prop erty, Mr. Calvin has to say:
 We are driving the tunnel nient and day working three shifts an0 we expect to cut the 12-fOot vein of ore which shows on the surface at a depth of 21O feet within the next 20 days. We are working twelve men at present In driving the tunnel to tap the main ledge, we have cut through one ore body three feet in width and another four feet in width, which runs very high in lead and silver ore On the op- pOsite side of the creek from the present tunnel we have picked up two ledges. and tunnels have been started to tap the ore bodies, one of which we have already cut through and the other one is expected to be in short time. The assays we have made of the different outcrop pings have been very satisfactory and $ very encouraging. The 12 foot vein of ore we have traced for about two miles, the cross cuts and strippings in different place. has proven this beyond a doubt. As soon as the lake and trail freeze, we are going to cct erty, and will install a winter camp, and then take in diamond drill and other necessary mining ma chinery to block out and determine the extent of the large ore bodies"

THANE MILL LOSES
 SMALL FORTUNE DAILY.

Five hundred and forty-fOr. dol lars are daily going to Va ,te in the big black cataract of tailings that pours from the base of tie Alaska Gastineau's mill at Thane. Boiled down to closer figures, the gold which escapes extraction in the big mill runs, on the average seventeen cents to the ton. The mill is now crushing about 52oo tons of rock in twenty-four hours.
 Officials of the Alaska Gastineau Mining company expect to save what is now going to waste every day as soon as the retreatment plant is completed. This plant is ex- pected to save at least half of the values that are now being lost in tailings, and when the mill gets up to it's maximum capacity the say ing will amount to somewhere in the neighborhood of $17,584 annual ly.
 At Chicagoff the loss is much higher than that at the Thane mill, although the tonnage at Chicaeorf is far less than that of the local mill. At Chicagoff Supt. Jame' l.. Freeburn has built an impounuing dam hopper, where the tailings arc being collected.

Byron probably has him beaten, while if all those Byron has chased from the bench to the club house were included Chestnut would be a poor second indeed.

4 REMINDER OF THE

According to the story told by some of the men, an attenp, 10 stop mining operations at that pont was made by Powell, the lred4e man, under the claim that he was the owner of the beach through having title to the adjoining propcIly some of the men state that poweil claim ed to have patent to the proper ty, and claimed tha. his patent rights extended to the waters ad1-.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 2-Ruba Oldring, left fielder of the Athletics, has decided to retire from baseball In the future he will devote his time to his large farm at Shiloh, N J. The retirement of Oldring is somewhat of a surprise.
 Reports have been circulated that Mack, after the close of the last season, intended to trade his popu- lar left fielder to some other team and that because he was not satis- fled with the deal Oldring had kicked out of the harness.
 This, however, Mack denied, and said that if the retirment is really to take place, it is entirely of Old rings volition.
