LONDON, Sept. 9.—The Russians have started a mighty
offensive movement against the German and Bulgarian armies
on the Dobrod.ja front, a hundred miles in extent. The Russian
army will be aided in their big offensive movement by the Rou
manian army. It is the beginning of a big drive to out off com
munication between Germany and Turkey. A desperate battle
is raging today along the entire front, according to advices re
ceived in London today, coming from Rome.
The allied powers are expecting much from this big drive,
which it is planned will be made through Austria Hungary, via
Serbia. By shutting off communication between the central
powers and Turkey, it is figured that the latter country will
fall an easy victim before the Russian forces operating under
the Grand Duke Michael.
In the Galician and Volhynian sectors the Russian armies
are meeting with repeated successes.

BERLIN, Septi 9.—The German report today admits the
* loss of ground in the sector south of Ville, and claims the re

Optimistic Over
the Broad Pass
W. A. Havner returned yesterday
from a 14-months’ trip in the Broad
Pass mining country and further sub
stantiates the many rumors of the re
* cent strikes in that district. Mr
Havner is interested with John Cheek,
of Raymond, Washington, and in a
general way told of the development
* of the different claims and the more
recent strikes. Mr. Havner said the
W'ells brothers were still working on
their claims on the Shulitna river,
Costello and Bremer creeks and have
made a wonderful showing on the
Northern Light claims this summer.
Other important work was done on
the claims of Miller-Frisbee-Murray
and McCallie on Ohio creek and the
100-foot tunnel shows good values.
There are several deals pending on
different properties in the Broad Pass
country, said Mr. Havner, and the
question of transportation is the on
ly one that stands in the way of won
* derful activity and further develop
ment on a large scale. This will be
settled with the building of the Great
Alaska railroad and with the estab
lishment of the proposed smelter in
Anchorage will materially add to the
value of the properties and be a fur
ther incentive for additional import
ant development.
In speaking of his own claims Mr.
Havner said that he and his partner
had 13 claims located between Big
Honolulu and East Fork with head
quarters about three miles from the
proposed railroad line. This property
shows free milling gold ore, sulphide
and antimony and the results of this
summer’s development justify the in
stallation of a stamp mill.
Mr. Havner opened Up three ledge
this summer, being 50, 30 and 16 feet
in width and the 50-foot tunnel driven
in the base sulphide ore developed in
to a 24-foot ledge of unknown depth.
The finding of antimony in this
country has caused great excitement
and this find seems to be absolutely
bona-fide. The antimony ledge is 1C
feet wide and in driving in 17 feet
Mr. Havner took out ten tons of re.
Mr. Havner arrived in Anchorage
on the river steamer Omineca yester
day' morning and will remain in tl
city several weeks before returning tc
Talkeetna to superintend the freight
ing of next summer’s supplies and
provisions to his property.
