DRAFT ARMY
 ENTERS CAMPS
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 18.- Over 3OO.O00 men of the national army, constituting forty-five per cent of the quota under the first call, will proceed to the sixteen army can comments tomorrow to begin training to fight Germany. An advance guard of five per cent is already in the camps, making one-half of the first call to the colors already in the service.
 The question now arises as to whether the number of men taken in the first draft is sufficient to fill up the national guard units which will go to the front first.
 It is considered likely that it may be necessary to make a second call of draft forces or train incomplete divisions which should go to France only at maximum war strength.

ATTEMPT MADE TO ROB BOXES
 ON LIVENC00D

That an attempt was made recent Iy to rob the sluice boxes on the Fontas lease on Livengood creek, in the Tolovana country, is the infor nation received by J. J. Sherry, one of the owners of the ground The letter received also states that the thief secured nothing, as far as could be asCertained, having been fright ened away from his nefarious work after he had raised three of the riff fles. There is every indication that the robbery was attempted by some one very familiar with the Fontas workings, but there is no cleW to the would-be thief other than the pick with which he was working, which he left behind in his hurry to escape.
 There are several strings of sluice boxes under the big dump that is out on the Fontas ground. They lead away from the dump on the opposite side from the boiler house, consequently the sailing was easy for the thief. But after he had raised three of the rifles and was preparing to raise fourth he was frightened away by the flow of Wa ter turned into the boxes, being evi- dently cognizant of the fact that the flow of water meant that the men employed on the ground would be on the job in a few moments ready to sluice while they had water with which to work He therefore made hurried escape, leaving the pick, which is said to be altogether un- like any other instrument of it's kind on the creek.
 When the men started to work they quickly discovered that the sluice boxes had been tempered with. An investigation was made immCdl- ately which disclosed the fact that, while the rifles had been raised, the dirt in the boxes under them had not been loosened from the bot tom of the boxes, indicating that the thief had been frightened away before he had secured the gold bear ing gravels which he had intended to carry with him. The robbery was attempted during the darkest hour of the dnight-according to the report.
 This is not the first report of at tempted sluice box robberies in the Tolovana which has req ached Fair banks.
