THE TEUTONIC ALLIES ABE
OVERWHELMING IDE SERVIANS
London, Oct. 27—The Servian
troops, -which are gradually being
forced back by the Teutonic allies
are making a last desperate appeal
for the quadruple entente al
lies to come to their assistance. The
Marquis of Lantbdowne, la a sp^'h
before the House of Commons to
day, stated clearly and emphatical
ly that ho believoJ that iServia la
lost 011 account of the attack of
the Teutonic allies in front and the*
6tab being delivered to them in the
back by the Bulgarians. He also
admitted that the Dardanelles cam
paign of the entente allies had
been a dismal failure, through
which the lives of over a hundred
thousand British soldiers had been
sacrificed, to say nothing of the
losses suffered by other units of
t!ie attacking forces.
The morning newspapers Are
loud in their praises of the manner
in which Servia has conducted her
superhuman efforts to defend her
national existence against over- j
whelming odds.
The Austro-Garman force® are
reported to be within twemty mileB |
o£ forming a junction with the
Bulcarians on the Servian-Rumanian!
ircntier, while the Teutons are said
to be advancing to the Bouthwest
auj southeast of Belgrade with a
hundrec miles of battle front.
Rumania agre€s to Join the al
lies if they will send her 400,000
mtn to protect her against Austro
German invasion, j France is un
able to furnish them and the loud
will fall iupoa Britain and Russia,
primarily upon Britain, since the
Russians cannot spare, troops from
the eastern front Just now In any
considerable numbers.
The British transport Marquette
was torpedoed yesterday In j the
Aegean Sea by a hostile submarine
and only a few of , those on board
escaped.
The Turks are said to be con
Icentrating thedr forces on the J sea
coast of Bulgaria in. the Black Sea
in an effort to prevent the landing
of Russian troops. The Russian
participation in the bombardment
of Bulgarian ports is welcomed in
Enpland as it U maintained that
the Bulgarians have heretofore be
lieved that they were fighting Ser
bia alon and not their old alley.
Russia.
The request of Greecc| for soldiers
and not territory as her price for
Joining the allies Indicates that she
consider the force of the allied ar
my. e.t Salonlkl insufficient to pro
tect her from an invasion should
she turn from a neutral stand.
Tbn request of King George for
recruits has had a good effect, and
it U hoped that the recruiting will
be sufficient to raise an expedition
ary force for the Balkan campaign
which will satisfy the demands of
Greece and Rumania before the
winter campaign is fairly under
way.

TWO WELL KNOWN
MEN ARE MISSING
Juneau Empire): News from
Kctchikan is that fear is felt for
the safety of I. N. Irwin, of the
United States fisheries service
with headquarters at Ketchikan,
and Charles Alexander (Sandy)
Clark, who left Ketchikan in the
gasoline boat Frances R, presumably
for Unuk river, October 9th.
A cablegram from Ketchikan to
Glen C. Bartlett today said that,
the Frances R, the jgasboat in
which the missing men left home,
had been found sunk at Chickamon
river, out her dory and compass
were missing. The dispatch said,
however, that nothing had been
seeu or heard of Irwin and Clark
who have boon missing foir more
than two weeks.
The Ketchikan Progressive-Miner
says that the gxsboat Creel, with
Messrs. Rosellc and Churchill
aboard, left Friday to search for
the missing men. There are al
so several Wrangell boats and
parties out searching for them,
according to dispatches received at

THE ALASKA MINING INDUSTRY
-ITS DEVELOPMENT DURING 1914
The certainty ot railroad,connec
tion with the Yukon baaln and the
probability of an early development
of the coal fielis greatly stlroulat-1
ed the search for mineral deposits
In. Alaska, during 1914, according
to Alfred H. Brooks, geologist la
charge of the division (of Alaaka
mineral resources, United States
geological survey, in a report
numbered Bulletin 622-A, recently
issued by the survey. Tha mining
Industry in Alaska as a whole was
prosperous in 1914, though the val
ue of the fotal mineral output was
somewhat less than that of 1913,
largely because of the decrease In
the price of copper, for the gold
output was a little larger than that
of the nrevious year.
A noteworthy feature of the min
ing ind'jstry in 1914 wub the great
number of explorations made on
behalf of capitalists looking for
properties that would warrant) de
velopment on a large scale. This
research was most notable In the
south-central region, which will be
directly benefitted by the building
of the government railroad, though
the new railroad will undoubtedly
directly or indirectly benefit all
parts of tho territory. The regions
tributary to the proposed line will
receive the direct benefit, but'
ether regions will obtain oheaper
fuel, i
The activities in the mining dis
tricts in Alaska are described in de
tail in Mr. Brooks's report, which
contains also a chapter on the fu
ture of placer mining in Alaska.
Between 5,000 and 6,000 men are
engaged in placer mining and pros
pectlag for placers, and ,nearly a
third of the white popuiatio* of the
territory la directly or ;indlrcetly
supported by the placor-mLnlng In
dustry. The question of its futurq
lg therefore to them a most lm
portant one. Will It continue to
decline, or are the known aurifer
ous ^rayela sufficient to Justify the
belief that jthe industry win hold
its own or will increase? It Is ho
llered .that the futur<j of the In
dustry must depend, bo far as^ow
can be determined, oa the exploita
tion of auriferoua gravels of low
er gold tenor than those which in
the past have yielded most of the
gold, though there Is, of course,
always the hopo of finding new bo
nanza deposits, such as have in the
last decade yielded large return®.
No one can deny, that there are
extensive deposits of auriferous
gravels In Alaska, but becauae of
the lack of systematic prospecting
of gravels carrying small am.ou.nta
of gold It Is difficult to reach auy
definite conclusions about the ex
tent of deposita that can be profit
ably exploited when cheaper trans
portation and fuel have reduced the
coats of mining. In view of the
Importance of the subject the Bur
vcy has published in this report a
summary of the data relating to it.
The general conclusion is drawn
that with cheaper fuel and trans
portation there is no reason to be
lieve that placsr miDirnj will con
tinue to decline. A copy of Bulle
tin S22-A may be obtained free oa
