Trieste. ; “THE OMINECA HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE, 18, 1916, = — SLOWLY, SURELY ALLIES ADVANCE Germans Make Determined Attacks to North of Arras, Being Pushed Back ‘With Big Losses ’ Paris, June 15—Official—In the sector north of Arras we repulsed last night several attacks against vur trenches, tween Aix Neulett and Souchez we consolidated the position we gained (about 15 meters) to the east of Lorette, and made a fur- ther advance to the right of these positions. The artillery work in this sector has been almost con- tinuous. Southeast of Subourez we arrested by our fire counter attacks by the enemv in the re- gion of Serre to Milly-Maillet. The eheck to the enemy was fol- lowed by a violent bombardment. In the region about Quenneiveres farm we made slight progress-in the branch trenches and Sops and inflicted serious losses to the en- emy. In Lorraine we have ear- ried our lines forward near Em- bermenil and the forest of Par- roi. Our progress continues without interruption, The Morgan-Guggenheim syn- dicate will spend ten million dol- lars developing copper and gold mining in Alaska. ITALIANS WRECK “AUSTRIAN FORTS Goritz Viciously Bombarded by Italian Artillery at Great Losses to the Austrian Stronghold Rome, June 15—Fierce fighting on three sides of Goritz and the partial destruction of the Aust- rian fortress of Malborget in the Carnic Alps were reported in special despatches from General Caderna today.. An explosion of a magazine during a violent bom- bardment on Sunday afternoon blew out a wing of the fort. It- alian aviators reported that sev- eral high explosive shells appear- ed to have crashed. into the ma- gazine simultaniously, There was a dull roar: that shook the mountain side and the masonry was blown to bits. A column of smoke shot high into the air and Italian soldiers burst into cheers.

The plant: is ..cap- able of being increased to 400 horse power simply by adding additional units, An Ineline Tramway ¢amp to the mine and for handl- ing freight an incline tram was installed,. This climbs the face of the mountain fora distance of 1,800 feet with an: elevation of 1,000 feet. Preparations are now under way to remodel this tram to increase its efficiency. _ Old Workings Are Not Used “The original, or Cowan work- ings have not been used in the present development. The man- agement'saw fit to drive a cross cut tunnel 670 feet to intercept the vein. at a depth of 300 feet. The vein was encountered and a drift has been driven a distance of 500 ft. From this drift a raise was put up a distance of 200 feet connecting with the old workings for the purpose of ventilation. Stopes have been started from the lower level and the present production is being obtained from these, Latest Drills and Compressor “Fhe mine is equipped with the latest and most powerful drills, The compressed air being furnished by an electrically driv- en air compressor witha capacity ‘lof 700 cubic feet of free air per minute at 100 pounds pressure, Everything Electric: Lighted “Electric lights are installed throughout the workings and in all the buildings. An eletric fan is used at the portal of the tun- nel in connection ‘with ventila- tion. An automatic steel sharp- ener does its work rapidly and perfectly, Ore i is Handled Once Only. “When. the ore has been knock- ed ‘down it 1s shovelled into a car and it is not touched again. by a man until it arrives at the Gran- by smelter, : The cars are runj. out to the ore bins at the portal of the tunnel and dumped. From these bins. it is drawn off and transferred over a 3,000 foot nar- “To convey the men from the terminal of the two bucket aerial tramway which supplies the main aerial tram. The loading terminal of the two bucket tram is 4,500 feet above the G. T. P. tracks, a distance of four miles. The: loading is all done through _|ehutes and the unloading by dumping. Fast Work at Rupert Bunkera At Tramville the ore is load- ed into G. T. P. cars furnished with a bottom dump and convey- ed to the bunkers at. Prince Ru- pert and from those bunkers it is dropped into scows and towed te the Granby smelter. To give an idea of the speed with which the ore is handled through Rupert it might be mentioned that a ship- |: ment last week of 470 tons was loaded in one hour and fifty | min- utes, Use Much’ Wire Rope and Wire ‘Some of the distances covered by wires. and rails are:—Twenty miles of wire rope in the acrial trams;. twenty-five miles. of tele- phone wires connecting all de- ‘partments at the mine and camp and Skeena Crossing and. with the Dominion Telegraph Service at New Hazelton; 3000 feet of narrow guage railway outside the mine and 1200° feet inside: 1800 of incline tram; 2400 feet of wood pipe line (24 in, to 18 in.) for the power house; six miles of transmission lines. Have Their Own Saw Mill “The company has its own saw mill which has a capacity of some 3,000. feet a day and all timber and lumber used is cut un the property where there.is a great: deal of timber. The millis being moved now and will start at once to cut material for a large new bunk house. In this bunkhouse will also be installed shower baths for the men.
