GERMANS ARE CHECKED

PetrOgrad, January 3.-(Via London Delayed. )--By holding the Teutonic forces on the line of Vladimir yolyn- ski, on the Galician frontier while fortifying and pressing forward at some points, the Russians have checked the German attempt to advance from Kolkia and improve their position along the Kovel railway eastward to- day toward Sarnia

CZ.ERNOW|TZ TAKEN BY RUSSIAN FORCES Reports Tell of Capture of
 Many Prisoners NOT YET CONFIRMED
Known That Slavs Are Pushing a Mighty Offensive In East Ga licia-NO Changes of Impor-
 tance On Other Fronts

Everywhere in the Stripa and Vol hynian districts of Russia and in East Galicia the Russians are on the offen- sive, the official communications from both Petrograd and Vienna reveal. Czer- nowitz. capital of Bukowina, is the posi- ton around which the fighting is in progress. The Russian war office re- ports that the Russians have occupied a line of trenches northeast of Czernowitz and have repulsed strong counter at tack. A Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd gives report of the evacuation of Czner- nowitz, and the capture by the Russians of large number of prisoners, including Germans.
 There has been strong advance by the Russians on this front although Vienna says that the Russian attacks lave been unsuccessful and that their losses have been appalling, in one sector six mnes in width, 2300 Russian dead having baen counted
 On none of the other fronts has any change of importance taken place. The Austrians Nave captured an Italian trench near Tolmino, and the Montene- grins have recaptured Boglevac from the Arstrians, inflicting them severe losses.
 BULGARS TOUCH ITALIANS
 Unofficial advices from Athens report 20,Q00 Bulgarians as having reached the region of Tirana northwest of Elbassan in Albania and that Albanian irreguars, commanded by Bulgarian officers, have exchanged shots with the Italian out posts near DuraZzo on the Adriatic. It is asseTted that there are 100000 Serbs in Albania who will soon be ready to re- enter the fray.

FALL RESOLUTION READY

Senator Fall, republican of New Mex 1co, had ready a resolution calling on President Wilson to inform the Senate to what government he proposed to &C., credit Henry Prather Fletcher who has been nominated for ambassador to Mex ico He will introduce the resolution to- morrow and it is expected that it will be made the vehicle for a general re- publican attack, not on Mir Fletcher, but upon the administration's Mexican policy. Other senators who share Senator Fall S views declare the Senate has no knowl- edge of government in Mexico and that the Presidents last communication to Congress on the subject described a state of anarchy.
 Senator Falls resolution also contem- plates that the President tell the Senate if the government to which it is pro- posed to accredit an ambassador. is a constitutional one by what means it's recognition was brought about; what assurances there are that it will be able to fulfill promises of protection for foreigners; what assurances there have been given for protection of the border: what guarantees have been given for re- hgious freedom and what replies have been received to claims for damages to American life and property

TERMS ARE BROAD

Its terms are broad enough to involve the entire Mexican situation and the details of the negotiations which led to the recognition of the Carranzax severn ment. Senator Stone later said thas meet ing of the foreign relations committee scheduled for tomorrow probably would be deferred until later in the week. The purpose of the postponement, it was re- ported, was to give more time for col lecting of facts relating to the sinking of vessels in the Mediterranean. The senator said, however, that some com mittee members would be absent tomor- row.
 Senators particularly interested in the foreign situation reflected the view that all facts in possession of the state de- partment bearing on destruction of ships would be submitted to Congress without formal resolution.

OPINION ON REGISTRATION LAW
Registration Agents Entitled To Is
Cents Per Name For All Original
Entries

Reno Gazette Sept. 8: Deputy
Attorney General Patrick. in re-
Spouse to a request from Eureka
County to determine the compensa-
ton to which registry agents are en-
titled for preparing the general cleo
ton registers has interpreted the
registration law to mean that regis
tration agents may draw from coun-
ty treasures 25 cents per name for
every original registration, including
those copied into the checkbooks and
rolls.
The compensation to be allowed
for making the supplemental regis
tration lists as provided for under
section IL of the primary Act. Mr..
Patrick holds, rests with the county
commissioners, the law merely stat
ing that it shall be reasonable.
The deputy encouragement holds
that the new law does not apply in
the case of the justice of the peace
of Reno township, the salary of the
justice of the peace and registry
agent having been fixed by a special
statute enacted in 1913.

RICH SURFACE ORES
FOUND IN EUREKA
Possibility That Further Develop
ment May Prove Most Import
ant Mineral Deposits Will Be
Found at Greater Depth

The machinery. engine and tanks.
gallows frame and material for
building at the Connolly. adjoining
the California, is now on the ground
and will be erected and put in place
as rapidly as possible. The new
shaft has been started and the best
men obtainable are employed in this
work. Major Catlin. the gene raj
manager. has returned after several
days absence in Elko, the teams
have been steadily hauling the plant
from the depot to the property DUR
ing his absence. and things certainly
look bright for both extensive opera
tons and successful work the next
few months.
Some rather important finds or
discoveries of rich ore have been
made the past week, at and near the
surface on a property in this district
that has, so far as a be learned,
not had a pick stuck in any portion
of it the past eight years. Until
further work is done the owners de-
sire to keep the matter quiet, but
the ore is as fine a product as ever
came from any ground in the camp
for many years.
That this class of ore may be un-
covered in ground that has been
walked over for years by some of the
best mining men in the district is
another feather in the cap of the
humble prospector. From both re-
cent development and development
in ground in this district many years
ago, it is evident that good bodies of
ore may be found that are, to put it
mildly. not suspected. 1t is also ap-
parent that there are bodies of ore
that may be classed as intrusive in
the Eureka district, which again is
not generally known. and of course
have received little attention from
mining men. However, this class of
ore deposit will receive deserved at
tention in future, that is certain;
but such important facts in the de-
velopment of properties in Eureka
constitute a feature of mining that
will no doubt surprise many. especial
ly those on the outside who have
long ago concluded that Eureka
mines were either worked out or too
low grade for profitable mining.
The Eureka Mining Bureau has
received an inquiry from one of the
leading authorities on mining in the
West relative to the metallurgical
content of the Eureka ores. This is
a problem that has either been taken
for granted, adversely to the camp.
or been overlooked, and will receive
the attention it deserves.
Here and there in leading financial
and trade papers throughout the
country, a line appears or there is a
fear expressed, that after the close
of the European war such nations as
England and France. and Germany.
will find it necessary to make pay
ment of the enormous public debt
contracted for expenses of the war
in silver, even if they do not re-es-
tablish silver as legal tender" and
American banks and bankers, with
supplies of gold on hand.
as the profit of trade in'war NUM-
tons, may not be expected to lead in
the establishment of silver. though
there is a logical probability that
such a thing may be accomplished.
