Leon Gambetta has been torpedoed
by the Austrian submarine U-6 in the
strait Of otranto, the waterway lead
ing TO the Adriatic Sea.
The first report of the destruction
of this cruiser .came from the men
on duty al the semaphore station OF
Santa Maria Leuca. These men at
once gave the alarm and vessels were
sent out to the aid of the Leon Gam
beta from Brindisi, Taranto, otranto
and Bari

Since the beginning OF Anglo-French
operations against the pardanelles tho

Strait OF otranto. with the idea OF pre-

vessels OF the allies operating against the
Dardanelles.
The submarine which attacked tho Leon
Gambetta came from CRttaro, on the
eastern coast OF the Adriatic, an Austrian
port about 400 miles from Santa Maria
sLeuea point This distance could have
teen travelled by the submarine In about
twenty hours.
Three French cruisers were last night

The. sea was perfectly calm and the

was no suspicion OF danger

TWO WELL KNOWN
 MEN ARE MISSING

Juneau Empire: News from Ketchikan is that fear is felt for the safety of I. N. Irwin, of the United states fisheries service with headquarters at Ketchikan, and Charles Alexander CSandy) Clark, who left Ketchikan in the gasoline boat Frances R, presumably for Unuk river, October 9th.
 A cablegram from Ketchikan to Glen c. Bartlett today said that the Frances R, the gasboat in which the missing men left home, had been found sunk at Chickamon river, put her dOry and compass were missing. The dispatch said, however, that nothing had been seen or heard of Irwin and Clark who have been missing for more than two weeks.
 The Ketchikan PrOgressive-Miner says that the gasboat Greet, with Messrs. Roselle and Churchill aboard, left Friday to search for the missing men. There are al- so several Wrangel boats and parties out searching for them, according to dispatches received at Juneau.

THE ALASKA MINING INDUSTRY
 ITS DEVELOPMENT DURING 1914

DeetIng for placers, and nearly third of the white population of the territory is directly or indirectly supported by the placer-paining iR- dustry. The question of it's future is therefore to them a most tm- portant one. Will it contiRue to decline, or are the known aurlfer- ous graVels sufficient to justify the belief that the industry will hold its own or will increase? It is be- IieTed that the future of the in- dustry must depend, so far as now can be determined, on the exploita- tion of auriferous gravels of low CT gold tenor than those which in the past have yielded most of the gold, though there is. of course. always the hope of finding new bo- nanza deposits, such as have in the last decade yielded large returns.
 No enc can deny that there are extensive deposits of auriferouh graYels in Alaska, but because of the lack of systematic prospecting of graYels carrying small amounts of gold 1t is difficult to reach any definite conclusions about the ex- tent of deposit1 that can be profit ably exploited when cheaper traRa- pOrtatiOn and fuel have reduced the costs of mining. In view of the importance of the subject the sur- Vey has published in this report a summary of the data relating to It. The general conclusion is drawn that with cheaper fuel and trans portation there is no reason to be- Iieve that placer mining will con- tinue to decline: A copy of Bulle- tin SPA may be obtained free OF application to the Director Of the Geological Surveys, Washington, D. c.

The certainty of railroad ,coRRec- ton with the Yukon basin and the probability of an early development of the coal fields greatly stimulat- ed the search for mineral deposits in Alaska, during 1914, according to Alfred H. Brooks, geOlOgist in charge of the division of Alaska mineral resources, United states geological survey, in a report numbered Bulletin 622-A, recently issued by the survey. The mining industry in Alaska as a whole was prosperous in 1914, though the val ue of the total mineral output was somewhat less than that of 1913, largely because of the decrease in the price of copper, for the gold output was a little larger than that of the previous year.
 A noteworthy feature of the min ing industry in 1914 was the great number of explorations made on behalf of capitalists looking for properties that would warrant de- yelopment on a large scale. This was most notable in the south-centraI region, which will be directly benefited by the building of the government railroad, though the new railroad will undoubtedly directly or indirectly benefit all parts of the territory. The regions tributary to the proposed line will receive the direct benefit, but ether regions will obtain cheaper fuel.
 The activities in the mining dis tricts in Alaska are described in de tail in MT. Brooks's report, which contains also a chapter on the flu ture of placer mining in Alaska Between 5000 and 6,OOO men are engaged in placer mining and pros
