1NTRENCHING IN ROEUX

LONDON. May 13.--At the end Of q
day of stubborn fighting the Germans
still cling to some parts Of Bullecourt.
British and Australian troops hold most
OF the village and have withstood two
more German counter attacks.
Elsewhere on the Arras battlefield the
British have pushed the advantages
gained in yesterdays attacks. During
the day important progress was made
ON the northern bank OF the Scarpe.
where the British have dug themselves
in among the ruined houses on the
western outskirts OF Roeux. by day and
night attacks they also pushed nearer
tC the crest of Greenland hill. north OF
Roeux.
The sum total of to-day's fighting
gives Field Marshal Iiaig firm hold on
the strong points taken yesterday and
clears the way for the big attack on the
Wotan line from Drocourt to Queant.
AT Bullecourt the fighting has been
fully as savage as that Of previous days
around this village In the fragment OF
the li!ndenburg line still remaining west
OF Queant. The strength of the German
defence here is clearly shown by the
fact that after thirty-six hours OF in
cessant fighting they still hold on at
various points.
What this fght!ng has been like has
been described by correspondents at the
front. The official statement tonight
sums up the achievement of the Aus
tralans, who have held trenches OF the
Hindenburg line between Bullecourt and
Queant for ten days. during which time
they have beaten back at least twelve
German counter attacks OF great in
tensty.
On the French front this morning the
Crown Prince resumed his attempts TO
throw Gen. Nivelle's troops from the
Chemin des Danes ridge and again he
failed. The Germans attacked AT three
places. at Craonne. north OF Rheims and
south of Ripont. Each of these attacks
was broken up by artillery and infantry
fire.
Germans Admit Loss.
The German War Office official state
ment says that the great attacks of
the English have broken down. This
statement admits, however. that the
British were successful at Roeux. and
says that "the advantages which they
succeeded in obtaining at Bullecourt
were again wrested from them by pow
erful thrusts OF a guard battalion.
This statement is unusual In that II
agrees with the British report i'll de-
scribing the regions selected for the
attack The official statements follow:
British Night Statement-Early this
morning the enemy made two further
counter attacks upon our positions in
| the iiindenburg line east OF Bulle-
court. In both cases his attacking
troops were repIlsed, and left n num-
| ber OF dead in front of our trenches.
During the last ten days the Aus
/ tralan troops have gallantly main
/ tanned their positions IN this sector OF
: the Hindenburg line. having during
, that period repealed AT least twelve de-
tcrmi lined hostila counter attacks.

way through an army of clerks and
secret service men, so that the mining
right no longer belongs to the pros
pector, but to the few who can afford
to buy their way.
On the coal lands elsewhere the gov
eminent had fixed a minimum price of
$40 and $50 per acre For years this
was construed to be the fixed price
Later the department held that the fix
ing of minimum price was no limit
alton on maximum price and ordered
that on every application to enter coal
an appraisement should be had, the
full retail value fixed and that price
demanded. In other words the re-
ward of the prospector was to be taken
from him and no encouragement left
to develop the coal.
More depressing than all these in
stances is the clause inserted in al
most all the recent acts giving to the
the agricultural and war departments
power to make regulations concerning
the entry of mineral lands, regulations
minute and confusing, which no law
carry out.
This new policy recalls that of Spain
which kingdom at one time monopol-
lied the gold and silver production of
the world. BY attempting to extract
royalties from the miner and exclud-
ing competition from other nations 1t
drove the colonies to rebellion and fin
ally lost them all. 1t recalls also the
ancient idea that the parent govern
ment could use its colonies as sources
of revenue. That theory lost to the
British empire the United States.
Adopting later the very reverse of that
policy, the British colonies are today
as loyal as the city of London itself.
We can not rebel against the will
of the majority in this country. The /
south tried that in the civil war with !
disastrous results We must accept |
the departmental control as an en-
forced necessity without unnecessary
fault finding, but we think we can fair /
~ say that the whole west will ultim-
ately voice a general protest in favor |
of the old theory that his discoveries T
belong to the prospector, who is en-
titled to his reward and not to be de-
prived of it by the exaction of rents
and royalties and the infliction of for
est ranger regulations.

]. S. GOLD PRODUCTION
0NE.F|FTH OF WORLD
WORLDS GOLD PRODUCTION
STATISTICS SINCE DIsCoV- 90
cry OF AMERICA.

The light reduction in gold produc-
ton by the United States in the year
1916, when compared with it's high rec
ord of 1915, will not change the coun-
try's rank as the worlds second larg-
by the foreign trade department of the
National City bank of New York
shows that the united states, even at
the unusually low figure of $92000,0 900
for it's 1916 output, still outranks by
far any other country of the world eX-
cept the Transvaal mining region of
South Africa and that it still occupies
it's normal 20 per cent of the gold out
put of the world.
The United States production in the
decade ending with 1916 was in round
terms $3.50, 900, or an average of
500, 000, 600 a year, while the output or
the world in that period was about
$3,42O ,O00, 900. Thus American gold
production in the decade ending with
1916 has been slightly more than 20
per cent of the worlds total for that
period There have been only half
dozen occasions in history in which
the gold output of the country eX-
ceeded the estimates now named for
1916, the highest record in any year
having been that of 1915, 1O1,OO0,OOO.
Going still further back, the compil-
alton shows that the United States
has supplied nearly one-fourth of the
worlds gold output since the discov-
cry of America. The worlds produc-
ton of gold from 1892 to the end of
1915 is estimated at approximately
SIG. soc, 900, 900, while in the same per-
iod the production from mines in the
United States was $685., 100000, or
about % per cent of the worlds pro-
duction in that period, 1892 to 1917.
The 16,600,OO0,0O0 worth of gold
produced since 1892 is not however, to
/ be taken as a measure of the quantity
of gold now available for currency
purposes. The worlds consumption of
gold for industrial purposes alone now
exceeds $175,000,O00 year, to say
nothing of the loss by abrasion, and
the amount which disappears by the
boarding process. AS a result the lat
test compilation of the worlds stock
Of gold money is but about $S,55O,000,-
900, or but little more than one-half of
the actual value of the gold known to
have been produced in the world since
1892.

just so vars ago the public mineral
domain was thrown open. The lodes
the placers. the timber and the water
over an area as large as half of Eu-
rope were wild and free to the pros
pector
During that so years this wise and
generous policy was repaid by min
eral production beyond expectation or
precedent. The gold Fand silver output
of any one Of the Pacific states is
greater today than the product of the
same metals in all the states east of
the Missouri river.
Within few years an entire change
of policy has been introduced The
water is no longer free, but tapped by
the government itself to the detriment
of thatkind of mining which can not
be carried on without water.
The timber is no longer free. Mil
lions of acres are set apart as ma
tional forests to carry out climatic
theories which many believe to be ut
terly unfonnded. The departmental
restrictions on the use of timber are
practical bar to its profitable employ

No sooner We're these discoveries made
than the oil bearing lands were with
drawn from entry and a series of pros
ecutions begun by which the entire oil
value was literally confiscated to the
Use of the government. Thus the
value which was their own discovery
and their own property was almost lit
orally stolen from them.
In Alaska a vast coal field was made
known. No sooner did this fact be-
come public than there was an act of
congress discouraging all prospecting
for coal in that territory and with
drawing it from sale in favor of a
Teasing system which MAKES Tie gov

leasing act are so drastic that only I
men with unlimited means can afford |
to open up a coal mine. The provisions /
are such that no prospector can, by !
using his common sense, nor even by
the counsel of the ablest lawyers, be-
come interested in coal, but must find
