Baker, Or.— Once abandoned as an

since the traces o f the rare ore, molyb-

The cache is said to have consisted o f

London — Picking its way from its
base in the K iel Canal, the German
high-sea fleet Wednesday afternoon
emerged into the North Sea, and, off
the roast o f Jutland, engaged a British
fleet throughout the afternoon and
night in what probably was the great
est naval battle in the world’ s history
so far as tonnage engaged and tonnage
destroyed was concerned.
When the battle ended Great Britain
had lost the battle cruisers Queen
Mary, Indefatigable and Invincible,
the cruisers Defence, Black Prince and
W arrior and eight torpedo boat de
stroyers.
The German battleship Pommern
was sent to the bottom by a torpedo
and the cruiser Wiesbaden sunk by the
British gunfire.
In addition several
German torpedo craft are missing and
the small cruiser Frauenlob was seen
badly listing and was believed to have
gone to the bottom.
These losses have all been admitted
by Great Britain and Germany.
Aside from Great B ritain’ s conceded
losses, Germany says that the British
battleship Warsprite, sister ship of
the Queen Elizabeth, and one of the
largest and most powerful ships afloat,
had t>een sunk; that the battleship
Marlborongh, a vessel o f 25,000 tons,
had been hit by a torpedo, and a sub
marine had been destroyed.
Great Britain also added to Ger
many’s acknowledged losses with the
claim that one dreadnaught of the Ger-
mna Kaiser class vessels o f 24,700
tons and carrying a complement of
1088 men— had been attacked and de
stroyed by British torpedo c ia ft; that
another battleship o f the same class
was lielieved to have been sunk by
gunfire; that one battle cruiser had
been blown up and two others damaged
and that six destroyers and a subma
rine also had been sent to the bottom.
Great B ritain’s admitted loss in ton
nage was 114,810 for six battle cruis
ers and cruisers.
That o f Germany,
excluding the tonnage of the Wiesba
den, o f which vessel there is no rec
ord, was 15,172.
That the casualties in the fighting
off Jutland were heavy is indicated by
the fact that o f the crew o f some 900
on board the Indefatigable only two
men are known to have been saved.
Six Zeppelins participated in the
naval engagement, according to a dis
patch from Copenhagen to the Daily
Mail. One o f the dirigibles, the I.-24.
was hit several times and badly dam
aged, the re|x>rt says, but she waa able
to reach the Schleswig coast. Several
o f her men were wounded, and all of
her supplies had to be thrown over
board.
The Beene o f the battle was in the
Eastern waters o f the North Sea. It
is probable that the German fleet was
on one o f the excursions into the North
Sea, which it has taken from time to
tim e during the war, and met, whether
or not by design, with the British
fleet.
Skager-Rak is an arm o f the North
Sea between Norway and Denmark.
The point referred to in the official
German statement as Horn R iff prob
ably is the reef off the Horn, on the
southwestern extrem ity o f Denmark
This would indicate that the battle
was fought off the coast o f Denmark.
From the reef to Helgoland, the main
German naval base in the North Sea,
is about 100 miles.
A dispatch from Copenhagen de
clares it is generally stated in Berlin
that the activity o f the German fleet
was due to the energetic demands of
