One Million Shells a Day
Fired by Allies in West

Headquarters of German Army Group
on the Somme Front, Saturday, Aug
u delayed Expenditure of artillery
ammunition by the Allies on this front
has reached a prodlgious volume, often
thirty-two shells second during drum
fire. Not infrequently along the entire
Somme front nearly 10000 shells have
baen dropped in an hour, while the
average for twenty-four hours is con-
servatively estimated at more than
100000.
The financial cost of the offensive is
naturally high. The approximate loss
in human material is difficult to esti-
mate. The British loss in certain
actions has been frightful, according to
German officers, who admit that their
own has been far from light, insisting,
however, that it was not nearly so
heavy as the British.

Advance East of Gorilla
and Nearer
Trieste.
GERMAN OFFICERS
RUSHED TO FRONT
Take Over the Defence of
the Adriatic Sea-
port.

London, Aug. 16.-Slowly the Italian
push toward Trieste goes on, with the
heavy guns beating a path through the
strong Austrian defences. The artil-
lery fire, according to unofficial Italian
reports, is so terrific that the noun
tains appear like volcanoes in erup-
ton, the shells throwing great masses
of earth and rock high in the air.
On both the Carso plateau, south Of
Gorilla, and east of the captured fort
ress the Duke Of Aosta's troops ad-
vanced to-day. Trenches along the
slopes of Mount Pecinka, on the north
ern side of the plateau, were carried by
storm. East of Gorilla the Italians
made progress on the heights, where
the Austrians are Offering strong re-
sistance.
Austrians Get German Aid.
The pounding that is driving the ltal-
ian line slowly forward has alarmed the
Teutons. According to reports from
Milan the Austrians have called on the
Germans for aid, just as they did IN
combating the Russian offensives. The
Kaiser's officers have now taken over
the defence of Trieste, according to
these reports, ard troops chosen espe-
cially for the purpose are manning the
works guarding the Adriatic port.
Grinding steadily onward, the Ital-
ians are now less than twelve miles
from Trieste. The greatest obstacles
in their path are the strongly fortified
heights east of Gorilla and on the
northern slope Of the Carso.
Italian Report.
The Italian official statement says:
"On the Carso and in the billy area
east of Gorilla, heavy artillery and
trench mortars are active. Our infan-
try succeeded in capturing enemy
trenches along the slopes of Monte Pc
cinka, on the northern edge of the
Carso. and in the neighborhood of San
Catarina and San Marco, east of Go
rizia. We took 353 prisoners, including
eleven officers.
"On the remainder of the front the
usual attacks were repulsed. Our de-
tachments on the Asiago Plateau
raided some trenches on the slopes OF
Monte Mosciacg. Under heavy artil-
lery and rife fire they inflicted damage
upon the enemy's defences and with
drew unmolested to their positions
with some prisoners.
"A squadron of fourteen Caproni
aeroplanes, escorted by Newport pur--
suit machines, yesterday bombarded
railway and military establishments
near the important stations of Prva-
Gina and Dornberg. Ninety high ex--
plosive shells, weighing about two and
one-half tons, were dropped, and good
results were observed. In spite of the
heavy fire of numerous anti-air-
craft batteries our machines returned
safely"

German trenches opposite the British
position at Gommecourt, on the Somme
front, Aug. Ii (via Berlin and Sayvillc
wireless, Aug. l6).-Half million
British troops have been trying to
break the German lines on the Somme
front. Often, as between Gommecourt
and Hebuterne, the British outnum-
bered the Germans six TO one. They
have gained ground to depth of three
TO five miles over n front of about
eighteen miles, but nowhere have been
able to break through.
More than ever, death has become n
commonplace in this most murderous
battle of all times. The Germans in
the first line know that they probably
Will be killed if their positions are al
tackled. Trenches are virtually useless,
for the heavy British shells widen
them into broad channels, affording no
cover of any sort.
The advancing British troops are no
better off, because the Germans reverse
the process when part of their posi-
tons have been captured. After the
British artillery level the German
trenches the infantry rushes in, often
TO be thrown out again as soon as the
British artillery ceases fire, which it
has to do owing to the nearness of the
opposing lines.

The British Fire Increasing.

Thus the battle has gone, the oppos-
ing forces now gaining at terrific cost
and then losing at even greater cost
few yards of trenches. At present all
the fighting by the British is carried
on from their Pozieres salient, where
their drum fire is unceasing day or
night. German officers who were in the
Champagne offensive said no such ar
tillery fire ever had been developed
previously.
The German fire, too, is terrific. An
idea of its intensity may be gained
from the fact that on certain British
troops German guns threw 1900 shells
in one minute and forty-five seconds.
Often the British assault dies away
before the German second line, from
which machine guns pour streams of
bullets which literally cut the men into
fragments. At one point the CORE
spondent stood within 500 yards of the
British trenches near Delville Wood.
Near by the Germans had just buried
,296 British, as lulls in the firing per-
mitted.
Some 500 British infantry prisoners

RIP VAN WINKIt MINE
SOLD TO EASTERN MEN

A deal was consummated yesterday
whereby the Rip Van Wrinkle property
on Lone Mountain passed to the own
ership of a New York syndicate in
which Messrs. Rockwell and Stallo

ings in Tuscarora, which were former
ly owned by the Tuscarora Nevada
Mines company, says the Elko Inde-
pendent.
The Rip Van Wrinkle property con-
sists of four claims and is considered
one of the best lead-silver PROPOSE
tions in Elko county. More than a
thousand fet of development work has
been done and big body of ore has
been revealed. John Yore was the
original locator, and about three years
ago he sold to Delay and others for

The shaft is in ore, the vein at the
bottom being ten feet wide. with three
feet going better than $50. 1t is a sand
carbonate and can be shoveled in
sacks like grain. The new owners will
at once put on a force of men and
continue the big tunnel to tap the vein
at depth and will also sink deeper on
the shaft
