LONDON REPORT OF BATTLE
LONDON, Sept. 28.—From the official statement^ to
dav of the great struggle on the western front it is evi
dent that the allies have made slight gains but hardly any
more The latest Paris official communique contains the
statement, it must be admitted, that the Germans have ap
parently recovered their first reverses and are holding
their own but the battle is still proceeding. Military
critics here do not look tor any more gains as gieut as
those Saturday as the enemy has been given time to
strengthen his weakest points and the moment when sur
prise was possible has passed.
ELECTRIC FRANCHISE
POSTPONED AGAIN.
The proposed electric franchise was
postponed for another week by the
city council last night. It was made
evident by the words of some of tta
council men that they did not yel un
derstand the proposed rates. Eve)
yesterday afternoon before the meet
ing. some of the members of the bod),
who pretended they knew all abojt
the terms, went to business people to
find out whether the new rates woVd
be higher or lower than the present
rates. Judge Morford, for the com
pany. said the company had done all
in its power, had followed the sug
gestions of the council and the coun
cil could now postpone the matter as j
much at it wanted to. He even de
clared that he acted in the interests of
the city just as much as in the inter
ests of the company. One would
think that in all these weeks the real
facts might have been ascertained rnd
the council might be able to know
something about it one way or the
other. That franchise will he grant
ed about the Ides of March.
SCHOOLS GET $1,000.
The city council last night granted

AMOK GOLD MINING CO.
DOES WELL THIS SEASON.'
-
F. A. Cornell, superintendent of the
Amok Gold Mining Company of Uyak,
passed through Seward on Admiral j
Evans this afternoon on his way to
San Francisco, after experiencing a
fair season at the mines. He says
that the mine never looked better
than at the time he left. The mine
produced exceptionally high grade ore
this summer, and 25 tons of concen
trates were taken out on the Evans.
He states the only trouble he had this
i summer was the fact that the water
supply was scarce and also the great
lack of help. In fact the mine was
short of men the whole season. Mr.
Cornell will return early next spiing
with many more men and says that he
will have a new water supply put in
the first thing in the spring so that
lack of water will not hinder the out
put of ore next season. About five
of his men went out on the Evans to
day, and the remainder will stay over
on Kodiak Island awaiting his re
turn in the spring.
