MINE ON BUILDING SITE.
Butte Y. M. C. A. Strikes Rich Ore
Which Will Pay for New Building.

Which Will Pay for New BIZ Ilding.
Butte.-The Y. NJ. G. A. of Butte will
be aided in paying for the construc-
ton of it's building by mining a rich
vein of ore found shortly after the
excavation for the foundation was
started. A Butte mining engineer came
to the officers shortly after work was
begun and told them to keep their
eyes open as there were indications of
a big vein of ore in the property.
After digging a short depth ore was
struck and since that time great quaint
tiles have been taken out and it is
said that the Y. NJ. C. A. will realize
about $4,000 from its mine. For a
depth of fifty feet all the ore discov-
cred belongs to the Y. M. c. A., but
beyond that point, the right goes to a
mining company.

help Of other troops took Monastir.
King Constantine of Greece gave Up
the forts of Kavala to the Bulgarians
and the Germans took about 10000
Greek soldiers to Silesia as guests"
For this and other acts favoring the
Germans he lost his throne. Greece
is now building up a new army of
100000 men, which will probably soob
be fighting for the cause of democracy
under the leadership of the great pa.
triot Venizelos.
The Italians have increased theft
forces in Albania and built excellent
communications through the noun
tains, forming junction with Sarrails
left and securing this end of the Bal
kan line.
When the marshes froze there was
sharp Russian offensive last winter
near Riga. Otherwise, the coast front
lay dormant for many months, and
| during the revolution 'fraternizing"
was rife between the opposing armies.
Then the Russians having put their
! house in order, set out to show the
kaiser that free men can fight better
than slaves.
The sectors selected for attack lay
between the Pinsk marshes and the
Carpathians, the same as last summer
Successes were scored at several
points, the prisoners by July IL num-
bering $4,000. The greatest advance
was near Stanislaus, from which city
Korniloff's men advanced across a
series of rivers. capturing Halicz and
Kalucz and sabering and bayoneting
the beaten Austrians.
Russian Drive PIeases.
The unexpected "come back" over
joyed the allies and filed the Russians
at home with martial enthusiasm.
The Turks suffered severe defeats
in the course of the year at several
points. The British splendidly re-
trieved their reputation In Mesopo-
tamia by recapturing Kut-el-Amara.
On March II they took Bagdad. They
continued several scores of miles fur
Their on and also formed junction
with the Russians northeast of Bag
dad.
Farther north the Russians held on
to their more important gains-the
great cities of Erzerum and Trebizond,
but abandoned Mush, Armenia, and a
large city but thinly settled region to
the foe.
Near Jerusalem.
the British inflicted severe defeat
on the Turks near Romani and then
fought their way into Palestine,
building a new railroad as they went.
A further slight advance would bring
them before Jerusalem. The Turks
apparently are preparing to abandon
the Holy City. They have also re-
moved the Jews from the seaport Of
Jaffa, treating them so cruelty that
hundreds have died.
In Germany's sole remaining colony,
East Africa, converging columns of
British, Portuguese and French are
closing in on the remnants of the de-
Tending army and the kaiser's over
seas Nominations seem near eclipse.
All military observers expect the
war will continue through the next
winter and the new campaigns are
awaited with special interest because
American troops will have chance
| to show their mettle on the west front.
