George W. Sias, Who Has Been De
veloping Interior Ground, Arrives
—Had Good Season.
George W. Sias, president of the
Valdez Creek Power & Mines Co., ar
rived in Valdez last night at mid
night, having come from Cordova on
a launch. Mr. Sias made the trip
from the mines to Valdez in five days.
Speaking of the work under way on
Valdez creek Mr. Sias said: “We
have constructed a new ditch one
and a quarter miles in length, eight
feet on the bottom, four feet deep
and fifteen feet at the top, which with
its fall of one-quarter inch to the
rod gives us 3,500 miners’ inches of
water every twenty-four hours. We
have built a big penstock, a flume,
have laid over one mile of pipe, which
was riveted and laid by Alfred H.
Bryant, who has had sixteen years'
experience in the Kenai district, and
we also had two experts sent by the
pipe manufacturers in San Francisco.
We have also constructed 200 feet
of flume five feet wide, three feet
high with a grade of eight inches to
every twelve feet and are now op
lerating the plant.
The cleanup this fall will be a good
one in spite of the fact that the big
hydraulic plant has been in operation
for but a few weeks, as the better
part of the season has been spent in
construction work. Next year the
returns will surprise the people of
this section, as the ground has been
well prospected before we went to the
expense of sending in the big plant
hnd the supplies needed. An outfit
of 260 tons was sent to the ground
last winter.”
Mr. Sias will leave on the Admiral
Watson for Boston, the headquarters
of the company, and will arrange to
send a No. 3 Keystone drill and the
•provisions for the next season’s work.
The Valdez creek placer mines were
discovered ten years ago but nothing
was done with them for some years,
until Mr. Sias, who is a miner of long
experience, investigated the ground,
demonstrated its value and induced
Boston capitalists to join with him
in its development and since that
time $750,000 has been spent by the
company in making its payments and
opening the property. A force of
fifty-four men were employed during
the past summer under the personal
supervision of Mr. Sias, who is presi
dent of the company.

German Right Is Broken.
LONDON, Sept. 30.—The German
right wing has been broken and is
fleeing before the Franco-Brltlsh
troops, according to reports received
here from Paris. The allies are pur
suing the retreating Germans, using
every available means for transport
ing the infantry to the front so that
the German rear guard can always be
overwhelmed by numbers. All auto
mobiles from Paris have been taken
by the army officers for use of the
allies, who are determined to take
every possible advantage of the sit
uation.
Peronne Again In Hands of French.
The French troops again occupy
the city of Peronne, having complete
ly routed the forces of General von
Boehm, who Is retiring towards the
Belgian border. The French have

ter to prevent reinforcements being
sent to the German right.
Artillery Duel At Reims.
At Iteims the French and German
armies are fighting an artillery duel
with varying success. The men are
so exhausted that neither side dare
resort to bayonet charges.
Germans May Make Stand On Sambre
River.
LONDON, Sept. 30.—Military ex
perts here expect that the German
right will endeavor to make a stand
upon the Sambre river, where they
can secure a much stronger position
than the ones recently held by them
along the Aisne. They will connect
with the German forces on the Meuse
and will try to block the allies ad
vance into Germany and Belgium.
Preparing To Evacuate Brussels.
Reports received here indicate that
the German forces are preparing to
move the headquarters of Field Mar
shal von der Goltz, German governor
general of Belgium, from Brussels to
Namur, because of the fear that the
allies will cut the city off from the
German line of communication.
British Refuse Wool To Hollanders.
Because the merchants of London
fear that the large orders for wool
received here from Holland are in
reality for the use of the German
armies they have refused to send the
shipments.
Neutral Fishing Ships Ordered From
English Waters.
The admiralty has ordered all neu
tral Ashing vessels to neep away from
the British side of the North Sea
and hereafter no Ashing boats will
be allowed near the fleet nor shore,
as many of the neutral captains sell
the information they gain to the Ger
mans for gold.

CETINJE, Montenegro, Sept. 30.—
The Montenegrin and Servian troops

VIENNA, Sept. 30—The new Ger
man army sent to aid the Austrians
in Galicia has effected a junction with
the Austrians who were retiring be
fore an overwhelming force of Rus
sians in Galicia. The two forces now
expect to take the aggressive and
drive the Russians from the Austrian
province.
Russians Tried To Prevent Junction.
The Russian, armies tried to pre
vent the Junction of the German and
Austrian forces but the rapidity of
the German advance prevented them
carrying out the plans of crushing
the Austrians by weight of numbers
before the arrival of the fresh German
reserves.
New Battle Line From Cracow To
Tarnow.
The new battle line extends from
Cracow, the fortified town in the
western part of Galicia, to Tarnow
and the line of railroad is being
guarded to keep communications open
with Austria and Germany.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 30.—The Rus
sian forces are slowly driving Gen

ince of Suwalki and In spite of the
heavy German reinforcements the

entrenching and fortifying the lines
and digging trenches.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 30.—The Dan
ish overnment fears that the Ger
mans may Invade the Danish Island
at the entrance to the Baltic Sea
and fortify them to prevent the {Brit

glad to enter the fight to secure the

Germany’s Vast Army.
LONDON, Sept. 30.—A dispatch to
the Evening Star from Rotterdam
says that during tTie first nineteen
days of the war more than twenty
klx hundred trains, bearing 2,000,000
troops for the western theatre of the
war, passed over the five bridges over
the Rhine at Cologne.
Notwithstanding this enormous
army, reinforcements still are being
hurried to the front, not only to take
the place of the huge number of kill
ed and wounded, but to carry out the
German plan that, so far as possible,
fresh troops be hurled at men who
already have borne the burden of the
day. In addition to the tremendous
siege guns of the Germans, ordinary
field pieces have been hurried lor
ward.
An American who has Just arrived
from Cologne, says the Star's corres
pondent, states that he met a wound
ed German officer who told him that
the success of the Germans was due
entirely to the fact that the troops
always had a rest after an engage
ment. The army corps were being
used in shifts to keep them fresh.
Hollanders Fear Invasion.
ROTTERDAM, Kept. 30.— With the
German preparation to capture the
city of Antwerp, The Netherlands
fears that both Germany and Eng
land w ill violate the neutrality of the
lowlands. The Ilritish are showing
much opposition to the Dutch, claim
ing that the large imports coming
into Dutch ports are merely for the
Germans and the German military
men have shown a disposition to in
vade Holland if The Netherlands
ceases to allow the large imports.
The foreign minister is striving to
satisfy both sides but is unable to
give way to one without securing the
animosity of the other and the gen
eral opinion is that Holland will be
in tlie war within a week following
the active siege of Antwerp.

FROM TAROMA
Fifty-four Persons Picked Up So Far
—Boats Are Still Searching But
Short of Fuel.
17. S. Marshal Brenneman this
morning received a wireless report
from Deputy Marshal Hastings, now
on the steamer Cordova, stating that
fifty-four of the survivors of the rev
enue cutter Tahoma had been picked
up by the Cordova. The message was
dated September 28th and was de
layed in transmission because of wire
less troubles to the westward.
The message also states that the
Coast and Geodetic Survey boat, Pat
terson, and a government boat named
Kodiak, aro at the scene hunting for
the missing members of the crew and
passengers from the Tahoma but so
far without success. The Patterson
on the night of September 28th had
two days’ fuel, besides the necessary
fuel to take her to the nearest pos
sible port for a replenishment of her
bunkers, while the Kodiak had only
three days’ supply.
Interpreter Siftof, a number of wit
nesses and possibly A. C. Goss are
in one of the missing boats and as
far as cun be figured from thirty to
fifty are missing.
The Tahoma carries a crew of
about eighty men and had aboard a
number of witnesses besides the crew
of a vessel wrecked on Semichi Is
land and picked up by the Tahoma
the day previous to the wrecking of
the Tahoma.
The Cordova left for the scene on
the evening of the 28th and is com
ing direct to Prince William Sound,
possibly Valdez, with the survivors
aboard.
II. J. Harvey will leave on the
next boat for Soap Lake to spend
the winter.
