Geneva, Monday, Sept. 23.-Deplor-
ing the failure Of the Austrian peace
proposals the Rhenisch Westphalian
Gazette says:
;"The motives for the note from
Austria are multiple, but the refusal
not one Of the boasting or bluff but
comes from the heart. We must rec
ognize this fact and also that 1t is
justified as the enemy must know our
serious position while all offers Of
peace come from u.s."

How Austrians Were Stopped.
Paris, Sept. 24.-How, the Austrian
offensive along the Piave river was
stopped was described today - the
Duke of Aosta, commander of the
Third Italian army. which was locat-
ed south OF the Montello plateau dur
ing the fighting, in an interview with
the foreign editor Of the Matin. He
said:
who had prepared everything mi

did not have q moments uneasiness.
II let him advance across the
Piave along certain fronts as far as
Monasterio, and then when he was

butchery! The Austrians will long re-
member it.
"The next day viewed the battle
field. God knows I saw massacres
during the three years fought on
the terrible Carso plateau, but my
eyes never before gazed on such a
spectacle"
Hun Paper. Makes Discovery.
Amsterdam, Sept 24.-The Lokal
Anzeiger Of Berlin makes the discov-
cry. that the "Fronde Of the Left"
as it calls the adherents of the de-
mand for the parliamentarizati ton
and the characterization of the Ger
man government, originates abroad
and is under direct American influ-
ence. a
At The Hague, the newspaper says.
there exists German ,defeatist CEN
ter whose members seem to have free
access to the German legation, where
Foreign Secretary Won Hintze is not
held in high esteem. Among these
defeatists, it declared, American ele-
ments are at work and they appar-
emily have succeeded in establishing
the conviction, 1t adds, that President
Wilson's motives are purs and that
he has the real welfare OF the Ger
man nation at heart. &
The Lokal Anzeiger further de-
clares that another such center ex-
lists at Copenhagen and that the views
LOT those political conspirators''t are
insinuated into the public life of Ger
many by the means OF democratic
newspapers. It voices its suspicion.
however, that the American fighting
man. on the western front, gives q
better clue to Americas intention to-
ward Germany. than these political
i'backsliders whose activities never
theless seem to have President Will
sons blessing. a N s I.

During the first two months oi the present year, the Red Cross cash contributions from the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company rm- ployees. the mill camp, amounted to the sum of $599.00. This total $ made possible by practically all employees donation $1.00 every month, same being deducted from the monthly pay-check on request from the contributor.
 In addition to above sum of mon- ey, the ladies in camp have made an excellent showing with regard to Red Cross supplies, such as wool len garments, bandages, etc. The efforts of two months steady appli- cation resulted in the following:
 1 box surgical dressings.
 IT sweaters.
 15 pairs of socks.
 scarfs.
 2 pairs of wristlets.
 Attention is drawn to the fact that of the seventeen sweaters -four were knitted by one lady, Mrs. D J. Giard, in one week! When one considers the circumstances under which this result was attained, we believe a record has been establish ed. The time actually devoted to the knitting of the sweaters was other than that taken up by house hold duties, and catering to the

 NEAR KETCHIKAN
J. E. ChiIberg Make a Visit to the Salt Chuck Property and Gives

 MT, Chilberg, accompanied by MT. A. R Larson returned yesterday from Kasaan on the Launch Harry, from his first visit to the Salt Chuck Mines, which was the main object of his visit to Alaska at this time
 "There has been some concen- trates produced but they were not sufficiently dry for shipment so had to be kept there during the winter until dry but we expect the first shipment of concentrates will be ready the latter part of next week to be sent to the shelter at Tacoma. The ore runs copper, gold, silver and platinum, and this new system
 
 of concentrating will save on ship ping alone twenty tons as formerly to one ton at present, obtaining the same amount of metals. The saving on freight alone will be a considerable item,' Mir. Chilberg ex- plained. "We have not very large plant" he continued, "em- ploying only twenty men and ex- pect to concentrate about fifty tons of ore day. The mine is in charge of Fred Chapman who is an experi- enced miner. This will be the sec ond concentrating plant in this min ing district, the other, l believe be- ing at Complex, and upon the suc- cess of these two plants will depend in a great measure, the development of a great many mines and pros poets that are to be found in and around Ketchikan, because it will make possible operations at pro- i fit, under these conditions, when they could only be operated at a l loss before
 "I am sure, myself, that this is going to be successful and will in- crease in time both the develop ments and payrolls tributary to this town. Right now people do not give much attention to mining, except ing where the products are neces- sary for the conduct of the war As nearly all the energy of the Alas | kan is being used to meeting the demands of war, no time and very little money can be provided for i the development of new things, MT Chilberg ended.
 Real Alaska Bank Now.
 "I suppose you heard that the Miners & Merchants Bank is really and truly an Alaskan bank now?' questioned MT. Chilberg in his turn and upon receiving an answer in the negative he explained that al the beginning of the new year the local bank transferred it's charter from the State of Washington, tc the Alaska charter. Up till last fall no legislation had ever been passed in the Territory to conduct a banking business, but under the new Alaska Banking law, this was remedied. Mir.
