ARTILLERY DUELs IN AUsTRo-ITALIAN CAMPAIGN

London.-Vigorous attacks were
made by the Germans at several
points in the western arena OF the war
when Berlin and Vienna were still
celebrating the fall of Lemberg.
1t is reported that great bodies OF
German troops already are being
rushed westward from Galicia. and
news dispatches say that Germany
plans to start new campaign in the
near future along the Belgian coast.
In some of the dispatches it is pre-
dicted that the new objective really
will be not Calais. but Paris.
Military critics in London say the
power of offensive has passed from
the hands OF the Russians for several
weeks at least, as the Russians are
admitted to be short of ammunition.
Special dispatches from Petrograd
say it is conceded there that many
months must elapse, even under the
most favorable conditions. before the
Austro-German aggressive can be-
worn down. This gives color to the
reports that the Germans will take adj.
vantage of the situation for new
drive in the west
The battle of the Dniester to the
south of Lemberg has been continued
with great intensity.
General Linsingen has been able to
cross the river with a large body Of
troops, and this is looked upon in
Berlin as the forerunner of another
de at of the Russians.
In it's report on the operations in
the west the German War Office an
nounces that the allies have been
driven out of a section of trenches on
the eastern slope of the Lorette Hills.
South of Souchez the Germans are
said to have made gains. The Ger
man position south of Melville was
maintained with the bayonet in stub
born hand-to-hand fighting.
North of Souchez the Germans are
bombarding the allies positions day
and night.
In bombardment of Arras the hos
pital of the Holy Sacrament was
struck by shells and some Sisters and
nurses were killed.
In Lorraine near Leintrey. the Ger
mans made a determined counter-at-
tack without gaining ground.
Paris issued a statement denying
that the Germans had made any
gains and saying that the enemy had
suffered severe losses at several
points.

TuttIetown Mine Shows Rich Ore.

An Oakland dispatch says:---What is said to have been one of the biggest strikes ever made in the mother lode country is reported from Tuttletown, where J. L. Witney, operating the Atlas mine, took out gold ore assaying 30,000$ to the ton.
 The strike was made over a week ago at the 300-foot level.
 The Atlas mill has been pounding away on good ore for some time, but last week Witney noticed that the mill was eating up quicksilver at remark ably rapid rate. He began an investi- gation, which showed gold in great quantities. He went up to the rock breaker and there found ore that fairly made him gasp. The rock was shotted, splashed and streaked with yellow.
 While the full extent of the strike is not known, all indications point to the existence of large body of fair ore, with rich streaks and pockets.
 There is twelve-foot ledge where the strike was made, part of which shows values easily running 30,0O0$ to the ton.

Gold Road in Big Ore.

That the Gold Road mine is one of the great, big gold properties of the state is becoming more and more in evidence as the new shaft on the west end goes downward. At the present time the shaft is down 80 feet and crosscutting through the ledge is now in progress. Owing to the shaft being sunk on the footwall and the inclina- tion of the wall to shrink and swell the shaft has been crowding into the wall, but at the last place where the whole shaft was in the vein there was nine feet of rich ore. It is expected that the crosscut will show up better than fourteen feet of great ore. Every foot of ground to the 80 foot level was rich in gold.
 The first week in May the mill gave an output of 22, ,0O0$, messenger George E. Ayers coming in with the big bar of bullion yesterday morning and send it to the mint at San Francisco. This IS the largest bar shlpped rom the property in some time, and indicates that better ore is being obtained. The big mill is capable of handling a larger tonnage than that handled in it at the present time, but the company has evidently been making cleanup of some old stopes and extracting broken ore to make way for future explora- tions from the old levels and have not been trying to make record mill pro- duction. Last year the mill handled 107 000 tons of ore, which is rather big consumption of ore. With the same tonnage of the new ore the company would far surpass the Tom Reed, and in fact many of the large coppers of the state.

Mines Taxable Property.

Possibly one of the farthest fetched decisions of the Supreme Court of Ari- zona is that just handed down Tn the case of Frank and Josephine Powers against the tax collector of Santa Cruz county, for a refund of tax paid under protest. The tax was laid against the unpatented mining property of plain tiffs. The decision of the court below was adverse to the tax collector, but the Supreme Court reversed this de- cislon and ordered the dismissal of the suit. In its ruling the court held that unpatented mining property was assess able as other property and that it could be sold for taxes and title delivered. How this can be done is really quite be- yond us. An unpatented mining claim is possessory right, title being at all times in the government. In the event that annual labor is not performed on the mines they at the expiration of the year revert to the government, no title being vested in any one except the locator. In the event that the property is taxed and suit brought for the collection of the tax the locator may allow the claim to lapse, in which event no tax could be collected. Some one could make To- cation of the claim and later deed it to the original owner, and still no tax could be collected. If the various coun- ties wish they can go in and do the work on all the mining claims to pro- tect the tax rights, and maintain title, unless the old rule is followed, which requires the consent of the owner to do work in his behalf on mining property. If large producing mine can be taxed on its acreage, an unproductive un- patented mine can also be taxed, which would lead the poor taxing and collect ing officers into more than a peck of trouble, without getting them any where,

levlathan Mining Company
 Prosecuting Vein.

The Leviathan Mining Company, operating the Whale and other mines in Copper Canyon, in the Wallapai mountains, is crosscutting the big vein of ore at the 100 level. At last report the drift was across eight feet of ore and the drill had been run across three feet more of excellent ore. The shaft shows ore from top to bottom.
 Last Tuesday evening John H. Con- way, president of the company, ac- companied by George F. Thompson, came in from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the next morning, accompanied by Jake Stricker and R. c. Jacobson, went out to the mines. MT. Thompson, who came here to look the property over for investment purposes, is one of the biggest operators in lands and real estate in the northwest and is a most pleasing gentleman. He was very much struck with the property and be- lieves it to be one of the big things of the state.
 The Leviathan group has immense ore bodies, the ore bearing copper, molybdenite, gold and silver. In the adit drift, which has been run in on the vein 23O feet crosscut at 85 feet show ed up 20 feet of ore, much of which would pay to ship to the shelter with out asserting. It was thought best to open the vein below the water level and holster and compressor and pumps were put in and the work began last January. Owing to heavy snowfalls in the mountains and the influx of water in the mine progress sinking was low, but now that spring days have come the work will be rushed through. Drifts are to be carried off north and south along the vein, and under the big ore bodies found on the surface, where it is expected splendid bodies of copper and molybdenite will be found. At the bottom of the shaft splendid ore is found, the entire width of shaft and crosscut being in pay ore.
 Messrs. Conway and Thompson de- parted to their home last Thursday afternoon, taking with them large amount of samples from the new shaft. Mir. Conway expects to be back in a few weeks to take another look at the ore in the drifts from the 100 level.

Vein Gut in United Eastern.

Thursday evening the first shots that entered the United Eastern vein, at the 565 level, broke into the same pay ore that was found in the level above. The ore, while no assays were taken, is said to have banned just as high as any ore in the old openings. The work of driving across the vein is to go ahead as rapidly as possible and within the next few days the other wall will be reached. About ten feet is being made daily in the crosscut, which is going some for underground driving. The vein was entered at 90 feet from the station, some distance farther than at the 465 level, where it was but 70 feet from the station.

Our Wonder World.

Undoubtedly the finest work of its kind ever published is now being issued from the presses of Geo. L. Shuman & Co. the famous publishers of the Stod- dard Lectures of Travel which has en- joyed such remarkable popularity.
 The new work is known as "Our Wonder World" and is a library of knowledge the object of which is to make all subjects interesting and enter taining to both young and old. Over forty-four thousand dollars was spent on the 4,000 illustrations alone, many of which are in exquisite color.
 The Black Range Mining company was reorganized in Oatman last Mon day. A new board of directors was elected and the company set aside 100,- 900 shares of the treasury stock for sale for exploitation purposes. D. P. Wright is president, Del Scherer is vice president, J. s. Withers, secre- tary. The company is the owner of one of the largest veins in the camp of Oatman, and the most inviting mining propositions in the county. With proper financing the property should be dividend payer for years to come.
