MINING KING IN
LEAD BELT, is DEAD

81. Louis, Aug. 2l.-Harry J. Cant
well of st. Louis, former mining king.
died last night at Hot Springs. A'lian.
sas it was learned here today He was
one of the first men TO make a fortune
in the lead belt of southeastern Missouri
and at one time was head Of tho ST.
Joseph Lead company.
Cantwell had options on silver mines
in Montana, but there he lost the for.
tune he had made in lead In 1896.
he published a free silver paper in st.
Louis. William II. Hearst agreed 10
furnish 100000 of a half million to
finance the enterprise, but Cantwell
was unable to raise the other s40O 600
from st. Louis friends of the cause. The
paper never prospered.
For the last ten years, Cantwell has
been operating in mines with varying
success. Eighteen months ago he ob.
tanned options on lead land near Miami.

Rome, Aug. 21.-More than 10000 pris-
oners have been taken by the Italians
in their new offensive up to yesterday
evening, the war office announced
By the Associated Pressl

The Austrian line on the Isonzo front
is beginning to bend and give way at
various points under the furious at.
tacks Of the Italians, Rome announces
officially. The Italians are making pro.
gress toward a line which the statement
says is becoming delineated in spite of
undiminished resistance by the Aus.
trians.
More than 10000 prisoners have been
taken in the new battle Of the Isonzo.
and strong Austrian defenses have fall.
en- into the hands Of the attackers.
Seldom during the war has an official
communication been worded in such
confident terms, and unless the Aus.
trians are ables to rally their shattered
forces, developments Of far-reaching i'm.
portance may follow quickly.
The Italians, supported by floating
and fixed batteries and monitors, are
marching toward success, which, the
statement says, is becoming swifter in
spite Of undiminished enemy resistance.
