LONDON, Aug 26.-The British left
wing on the Somme broke out with a
new attack against the German posi-
tions defending Thiepval village last
might and captured 400 yards more of
enemy trenches, General Haig report
ed to the war Office this afternoon.
The beginning of the ninth week Of
| the great Anglo-French offensive on
the Somme, saw the British line at
this point steadily encircling the Ger
man fortified positions and threaten

advance since the Somme battle be-
gan.
The new British gain reported by
General Haig, was made near Mou-
quet farm. The British commander
reported German counter attacks
south OF Thiepval, but declared these
attacks were repulsed. Repulse Of
German attacks west of Guillemont
was also announced.

STRAUSBERG, Germany. Aug. 26.
in eight weeks Of tremendous effort
with lavish expenditure Of human
flesh and blood and ammunition, the
allies not only have failed to break
the German line on the Somme, but
have not even badly bent it, General
Alexander Won Kluck, who command
ed the German right in the great ad-
vance to the gates of Paris, told the
United Press today.
I'm eight weeks of fighting they
have gained a few kilometers at ter
rible LOSSES" said the German war
hero. "The English have accomplish
ed practically nothing. They have
only exposed themselves to our coun-
ter attacks, which will certainly
come.''
We were seated in the smoking
room of Wilkendorf castle near
Strausberg. Before us was map of
the Somme battle line. General Won
Kluck first explained the positions
held by his army when he was in
command on this front before he was
wounded The territory the allies are
now trying to break through is the
same ground across which Won Kluck
hurried with his army during the first
advance into France In the fall of
1914 After twenty-five months of
fighting, the battle line at this point
shows little change except that the
Germans have been pushed back a
few kilometers.
THE English losses on the Somme
have been terrible" continued Gen
eral Won Kluck. "They lave been
much greater than ours. The Eng
lish had to put new men into each
attack. Their losses must exceed ours
by at least 100000"
"Is that many for the large army
England is reported to have" he
was asked.
THE decisive thing is always to
have plenty of men," he replied, "but
when there is great offensive like
this Anglo-French movement and
little progress is made; when the
losses are great and no progress is
evident. the spirit OF the troops weak
ems and that weakens the offensive" !"
1T is reported abroad that Germany
Is facing a great military crisis now
that the allies are attacking on sever
al fronts and it is even rumored that
It will not be long before she will
collapse" he was told.
you can see for yourself that there
is no crisis" the general laughingly
replied. Eight weeks have passed
since the Anglo-French offensive be-
gan The preparations for it must be
called immense. England brought
armies that might never have been
expected of that country, thanks to
kitchener's labor-and it was Kitch-
ener's labor. France, despite her ser
ious losses at Verdun. had put the last
reserves Of her thirty fighting years
(meaning thirty classes) together.
The industries OF France. England. ;.
the United States and Japan worked
feverishly to supply the allied armies

Foreign Foe Reported to Have

Troops.
SEVERAL SHIPS SUNK"

WASHINGTON, Aug. ga great
naval battle has been raging off
New York harbor for six hours.
The main battle fleet of Admiral
Helm, defending the coast, engaged
the attacking fleet of Admiral Mayo
at five o'clock off Scotland Lightship
at the entrance to the New York
farbor. Helms flet opened fire with
12-inch guns.
Eight war vessels, two battle ships,
one scout cruiser and five destroyers
have already been sunk The de-
Tending fleet sunk the emmy battle
ship Texas and Nevada and the
enemy destroyers Wadsworth and
Cooper. Admiral Helm has SO far
lost the scout cruiser birmingham
and the destroyers Tanning, Draton
and Balch.
It is believed here that the enemy
battleships were destroyed" early in
the fight by torpedoes from the de-
stroyers of the defending fleet.
The sunken ships, under the rules
of the game. have to put into Allan
tic ports. Large bodies of theoreti-
cal wounded have been rushed to
naval hospitals and the hospital
wards of both fleets at sea are rapidly
filing.
If the assumption that the enemy
battleships were torpedoed is correct,
naval officers here see great loss of
life for those two vessels.
1.-THE enemy" transport train of
thirty vessels is reported to be lying
back of the attacking battle fleet wait
ing for chance to slip by the de-
Tending lines and rush thousands of
hostile troops inland. Guns of all
calibre aboard both fleets are in ac-
ton and destroyer and submarine
skirmishes are occurring constantly.
AS last reported, each commander
was maneuvering for position to bring
the greatest possible number of guns
to bear.
The navy department announced
that the battle limit expires at five
o'clock this afternoon.

SEEKING COPPER ORE

Continued From Page One).
The main Rea shaft, which had
been sunk 200 feet prior to the
bonding of the property, has been
sunk to the 30O-foot level and a
cross-cut has been driven to the
west to cut the large vein exposed
on the level above.
Late reports state that the vein
has been cut on the deeper level
and thtt it is showing copper ore OF
high grade, but this has no been
verified. E. w. Clark, consulting
engineer for Senator Clark, when
last in Goldfield stated that some
high-grade cuprite had been exposed
in prospecting the vein on the 200
foot level and intimated that an
equally good showing on the 800
level would afford him no little
qualification.
In sinking the shaft to greater
depth it has been the object to
reach the permanent water level
and to explore the sulphide zone.
This level has apparently not been
reached, az the 30O-foot level is
said to be making less water than
the 200 workings. 1t is understood
that under the terms of the option
a payment to Tom Rea and his assc-
ciates is due Nov. 1, but no definite
announcement has been made az to
whether or not the option will be
exercised and further payments
made. Owners of other properties
in the district are keenly interested

group and it is said that copper
ore of shipping grade has been ex-
tracted lately and placed on the
ore dump at the mine.

GOLD CIRCLE MINE
GIVES BIG PROMISE
GRADE-DISTRiCT NOW
ACTIVE

One of the greatest mining hopes
of Elko County is the Lucky Boy
group, at Gold Circle, 2S miles from
Red House on the Western Pacific.
This property, owned by Messrs. R.
T. Noble and c. A. Stone, may prove
as valuable as the Elko Prince,
which is shipping about 100000
in gold bullion every month.
The Rex mill is now running on
custom ore, from the Queen pro-
perty. Three teams are hauling.
The management of the Lucky
Boy has just completed a new road
to connect with the Elko Prince and
is putting in an ore bin. The ore
will be shipped to the Elko Prince
mill.
The Lucky Boy vein averages
from 8 inches to two feet and the
ore assays about $40 the ton. Some
high as $4,000. These rich sam
pies are taken from a narrow streak
on the hanging wall, two to eight
inches wide.
The Lucky Boy camp expects
three new companies, using Eastern
capital, to begin operations at an
early date.
All indications from present de-
velopment work are that the ore
will be richer at greater depth. The
Lucky Boys depth is now $50 feet.
and it's owners are preparing to de-
velop 800 feet and cross-cut east
400 feet to the parallel claim, the
Grizzly.-Elko Independent.

ficant, as it extends far within the
shale and in it some seams of ore
have been found that yield en-
couraging assays.
One seam of good appearance
and value has been followed by the
raise for a short distance, but as
it has flattened to ar angle too
near the horizontal to follow at
the same incline, the raise has pro-
crossed on it's original curse and
is being driven to cut the shale
contact above. The approximate
depth of the contact has been de-
termined by a drift on the 930-foot
level, extended east from the main
Velvet workings to a point within
about 100 feet of where the new
raise should cut the contact.
At this point on the contact be-
tween the latte and shale, and
to the east, no prospecting has been,
done in the contact zone and there
is a considerable area here, both in

Their north in the Velvet claim a
drift was driven along the hanging
wall of the vein, into Jumbo Junior
ground, but apparently the shale
contact is below the SS0-foot level,
on which this work was done.
Development work is being extern
ded throughout a wide area in both

Of the Jumbo Extension, and has
continued to show some encouraging
seams of ore in the northern part
of the Velvet. rear the line of that
part of the Paloverde claim extend

tended in this direction. as well as

western parts of the property, both
within the shale and following the
contour of the latter.

While early operations on this
property, down to the 5OO-foot
level, all tended to support the be-
lief that the dip of the veins was
to the east, as it is everywhere east
OF the nearby Columbia Mountain
fault, the work performed by the
drill and at greater depth in the
shaft has proved that the veins and
the surface of the Shale in this
territory all dip to the west. This
has disrupted all earlier theories re-
garding the geology of this part Of
the district and the discovery of
two distinct quartz channels, above
and below the shale, dipping away
from the great fault, is accepted as
one of the most significant in the
recent history of the Goldfeld dis
trict.
Many good assays are said by the
management to have been obtained,
both in the shaft and from the drill
cores. but no claim has been ad-
vanced that this new work has ex-
posed orebodies of commercial vol
ume. The results obtained are,
however, accepted generally as of
the greatest interest and attention
will be directed to the work of open
ing the two ore-channels by cross
cutting to the west from the shaft.
