ture of the latest German air attack

Pope Plans New Peace Note.
Geneva, Sept. 25-Pope Benedict
XIV. is already studying the form
which his next peace note to the bel.
ligerents shall take, according to a
dispatch from Rome today The mess
age continued:
1T is believed that the pOntiif
knows the peace terms of the central
powers and that the next papal move
will be written in accordance. Also,
there is ground for the belief that
the replies of Germany and Austria
Hungary were, to some extent, intend
ed for home consumption only. 1t is
quite probable that the rejoinders Of
the central powers to the next papal
note will be less general in terms
and more convincing in tone"

At that the cost of operations and the heavy contingent expenses involved made it unlikely that a very great amount of this would remain in the operators pockets. The output for Ruby would about equal that of last year. The fact that on Long production might not be as great was counterbalanced by the fact that on Poorman and other creeks it would be much larger. The pay was picked up on the lower channels of Willow creek in the Marshall section and in consequence a spirit of optim- ism prevailed. lIr. Maloney will now make an inspection of the camps hib- utary to Nome before returning to his headquarters at Juneau.
