Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Both French and British endorsements are reaching Sir Douglas Haigs army in Flanders which now is in a strong po- sition to meet further German attacks, Major General James D. McLahlan, British military attache here said to- night in reviewing the situation on the northern part of the long western bat tie line.
 While tlte Germans have scored, General McLachlan said, they have not done as well as they hoped and each hour their advance is delayed makes victory for them less likely. By fail ing to break through. the Germans find themselves in an awkward narrow sa- lient and for that reason the battle is bound to continue with great fero- city.
 AS things stand the Germans have scored" said General McLachlan, "but not so heavily as they would have liked to have done. They have won no decisive victory and each hour makes their chances smaller. They are in position not very different from that which they occupied at the end of the first, and what may be called mobile, stage of the preceding battle for Amiens.
 Accomplish Neither Plan
 Their drive at Amiens. the Ger mans hoped to separate the British from the French army. Their attack between the Ypres- Confines canal and La Bassee is clearly meant to divide the British army, roll it up and pene- trate to the coast of the English chan nel In the battle for Amiens their at tack was stopped upon the northern portion of the line between Arras and Albert. In the present battle their northern flank while bending back the British line has similarly failed in it's object.
 "The country between Wytschaete and La Bassee back to Hazebrouck is in the nature of shallow basin sur rounded by high ground. Into this basin the Germans have penetrated to maximum depth of about ten miles and on a front of about 15 miles be- tween Ploegsteert wood and La Bas- see, but they have failed to force the British from the hills stretching west from Wytschaete and at the south end of their attack have been held on the line of Festubert, Givenchy and Hull luch and have thus been kept from Bethune, which was their immediate objecting in that region. These two failures leave them, in spite of all their gains i nthe center of an uncomfort- able narrow salient dominated by high CT ground in the hands of the Brit ish."

MINING NEWS
By F. w. Bower


 MAYER, Ariz.. April 10.-The con- summation of the sale of the old Peek silver mine located eight miles south of this place, marks one of the most important mine transactions in Havapai county, so far this year. The mine is one of the several old high grade silver properties that made for tunes for their owners twenty-five years ago when only the highest grade ore could be handled The ore from the Peck mine was hauled fifty miles by bull teams to Pres colt and then shipped with expensive sive freight to market.
 The mine was owned by O. Tawney, of this place, and the pur- chaser was C. E. Baton, of El Paso Texas. Included in the deal are several other silver properties owned by F. W. GirrouX, of Mayer, R. H. Burmister of Prescott and others, all of the claims being connected with the Peck mine.
 It is estimated that there are about 100000 tons of milling ore in the old stopes and on the dumps which could not be handled at a profit when the mine was worked quarter of a century ago. None of the ore bodies has been worked below the water level, there being left much high grade in sight in the lower workings It is the plan of the purchaser to thoroughly develop the Peck mine and the adjoining claims and then build a mill to fit the findings. It is likely that the mill will use cyanide and possibly oil Notation too.
 The Peck mine is located in about the center of a long silver belt be- ginning a short distance south of Prescott and ending south forty miles, below the old Tip Top silver-t tungsten mine, which also has a great record as 9 high grade shipper. Along this strip of mineralized country, there are many remarkable silver proper ties than can be brought back into the productive class with the ex- penditure of a small amount ot money. The mill process of treating the ore will be greatly simplified over what was in use when these mines were active years ago, for both the cyanide and the oil Notation pro- cesses have been developed in the meantime.
 The Peck mine adjoins the old Swastika silver property which has been a steady shipper of high grade silver ore for many years. It has a record of about sixty carloads sent to the shelter by leasers. It is at the present time, leased to F. w. GirrouX who is also planning on the erection of some sort of mill at his property to treat the large amount Of milling silver ore on the dumps and in the old stopes.
 The sale of the Peck mine was ne- gotiated by W. W. Williams, a mining engineer of Fl Paso. It is under stood that other properties in that same section have a chance of be- coming operative due to this Peck Transaction.
