MIDDLE GOLGONDA
SHOWING Up WELL
CFrom Thursday,s paily Miner.l

The Middle Golconda will make a
total shipment of raw ores to the smell
ters during March far in excess of any
other month of its existence. So far
the mine is paying for all develop
ment, but it will soon have to build a
mill and make other extensive i'm
provements.
The mine now has in sight an i'm
mense tonnage of milling ore, which
must be extracted and milled to get
the advantage of the present high rare
of metals. C. B. Bell, who is in charge
of development, has done a wonderful
amount of work for the money ex-
pended.

TEUT0N WORKS ALIENS FALL
British Steadily Driving the Germans
From All Defensive Positions In
Coal District.

London.-While Germany Is throw
ing vast masses of men over the
bloody slopes of the Verdun battle
field. Filed Marshal Haig is gaining
by leaps and bounds around Lens
and without massed attacks. At Yer
dun the French were decimating the
attackers. Around Lens the British
forces are succeeding with what front
dispatches termed astonishingly small
casualties list
Two offensives-both major in
scope-ilustrated the difference in
strategy of the two sides. With Haig
it was a continuation of the biting"
process. The British front on three
sides of Lens is about ten miles with
the Germans driven from the dominat-
ing positions.
1t is Haig's battle plan to shove
his troops forward by localized at
tacks-frst smash at one spot. then
a blow struck violently at another
objective, perhaps several miles dis
tant. The whole front is thus busy
fighting. but not in one concerted syn
erroneous advance. The plan, follow
ing as it does a tremendous concen-
tration of artillery over ten miles,
gains ground with a minimum of loss
es to the British.
But around Hill 304 and Dead Mans
Hill the Germans are continuing their
favorite mass plan of attacking. Ser
ried close waves of gray coated sol
diers are sent forward to overwhelm
the French. The killing has been ire
nendous by the French barrage fire.
But the Germans only gained a small
section of land on the west of Dead
Mans Hill.
