Paris, July Z. The sOlldlty OF the
French conquest in Picardy at last has
been put to the test and military men
here say it has come out Of the ordeal
with flying colors, thus again demon.
strating the soundness OF the Brusiloff
method
The Germans delivered a series of
violent attacks on two points. The
first of these was between Hem and
Maricourt on the Clery road. The sec.
ond was on the extreme right between
Estrees and Belloy, their object being
to drive wedge between the French
center and right where the French line
crosses the Somme river from Hem to
Feuillers and between the extreme
right and the rest of the French front.
The success Of these maneuvers
would have forced the eventual retire.
ment of the whole French line.
The German reaction, however, came
too late. The French had time thor
oughly to strengthen their line to adj
vance and place in position heavy ar
tillery and to bring up plentiful stocks
OF munitions. Consequently the attack
ing wave was caught in whirlwind of
machine gun fire from the trenches
and was shot to pieces by the Seventy

Ute Creek Receives
Further Attention

ii. a. Gray, a mining man of
Denver, has leased the Argo group
of claims situated in the Ute creek
district, and now has a small force
of men at work cleaning out and
retimbering the old workings of
the Argo vein and putting it in
good working condition. When
this is completed active develop.
ment of the property will begin.
This property consists of group
of 26 claims and is located in the
rich silver lead zone of the Ute and
Lamartine districts and was work
ed along in the SOS to a consider
able extent and with very profit
able results. Since that time very
little has been done, the property
having lain idle during all the
time. 1t has always been consid-
cred by everyone who is acquain-
ted with conditions and the
country, as one of the best pieces
OF mining property in the county.
The property is owned by the
Max Baer estate and the koontz
Brothers of Denver who have al
ways regarded it as a good invest
ment, and at the present price of
silver and lead it seems that their
faith has been we'll founded.
Mr.. Gray is very optimistic as
to the future success Of the mine.
SO much SO that he is contempla-
ting the building Of a summer
home among the tall pines of Ute
creek.
There is no doubt in the minds
of the practical miners of this com

ment, together with the modern
improved method of treating ore,
the Argo mine will prove to be as
good or better than its near neigh

POStOffiCe Robbed
By CnaWing Mice

The burglars who of recent
months have terrorized the post
masters in the small mountain
towns of Colorado were not the
cause of the loss suffered by Post
mater J. j. Bonner of Lombard in
this conntyy7,but mice, -coiumppy

ing whether or not Uncle Sam will
stand the loss or if he must bear
the burden himself.
The stock of postage stamps
carried at Lombard is not large,
but the precious adhesives were
kept in drawer that was supposed
to be mouse-proof if not burglar
proof. Government mucilage is
made largely from potato starch,
and mice raised in the mountains
prefer it to imported cheese when
there is no cheese to be had. They
found Bonner's stamp drawer and
nearly put the office out of business
by devouring IA cents worth of
stamps OF several varieties.

to purchase a tin box to prevent
a repetition of the offense.

Acting on the advice Of the

had prepared several sample pack
ages properly wrapped and tied
for mailing, and they are dangling
before the eyes of every patron of

service of "a lot of grief.
Mr.. Marihugh and his clerks
are accommodating but the public
mustn't ride a good horse to
death. Many patrons 60 to the
office without their packages ready
for mailing and expect to have the
finishing touches put on by the
accommodating postmaster. He
hasn't the time and it isn't his
job. Every minute of his time
during the holiday season is fully
occupied and to tie up packages
for other people would cause him
to neglect his official duties
Neither does the department
furnish the Observation-Disclosures
strong Irvine for tieing the pack
ages, or even the tags used thereon.
Perhaps the home merchants
who sell your Christmas gifts will
tie them for you ready for mailing
At any rate, it is well for you to
observe the several specimen
packages and see that yours are
wrapped and tied in much the
same fashion.
