* OUR TROUBLE
WITH MEXICO
AMERICAN CAVALRYMEN KILLED IN SKIRMISH
WITH THE CARRANZA FORCES.
WASHINGTON, June 22.—A report was received here frtftn
El Paso that forty American cavalrymen were killed in a skirmish
w*'v ...c c arranza troops yesterday at Garrixai. The casualties
of the Mexksns were not so heavy, the report says.
The rvroor that w ar had been declared by Mexico on the U nit
ed States is said to be a ruse to excite the Mexicans and force
them to enlist in the army.
Representatives from various countries here are trying to
bring pressure to bear upon the Mexican government to refrain
from making overt act against the United States that may lead
: war at the present time.

ALL WE NEED
IS CAPITAL
KETCHIKAN MINING PRECINCT
IS LOOMING UP SAYS
INVESTIGATOR.
Just before Mr. J. K Childberg
banker and business man of vast ex
perience and good steeding left for
the south yesterday, the Progressive
Miner had the privilege of a coavers-u
I lion that was a revealation as to what
| the Ketchikan mining precinct prom-1
ises. Mr. Childberg.' * ho had been
here some ten days, visited many ■
prospects, as he canes tnem. and'
from experience, he Claims that the
mining industry in our "vicinity is due
for a move forward. All we needed. ’
he saia, was cheaper transportation
for our ores . The amount is here and
hereabouts; bnt due to the exorbitant
charges for the transportation, of our ,
ore. mines that would otherwise prove '
very profitable to work, suffer.
The remedy that Mr. Childberg of
fers is the construction of smelter
centrally located where the ores of
the many and various mines can be
treated without too much expense. To
this end. he believes capital will soon
take an interest to the extent of sup
plying the crying need of the Ketchi
kan raining precinct.
Mr. Childberg left taking with him
a very optimistic view of the situ
ation. and partly promised to help
along the development of our indus
try that has been dormant for these
many years.

AUSTRIANS ACTIVE
ON ITALIAN FRONT
ROME. June 22.—An official state- j
meat issued last evening says:
"Continued heavy fightiug indicates |
I that events on the eastern front have j
■ not materially affected the enemy v |
, activity in the Trentino. No wit*.
; drawal of any of the forces have taken
j place.
“Y’esterdav between the Adige and
the Astico our artillery and other de
tachments were attacked. We later
assaulted and dispersed advance ene-,
my posts, taking some arms and am- j
: munition.
"Southwest of Asiago the enemy
newed his violent efforts to brea.
: through our ranks, particularly be
| tween Monte Bemerle and Monte Mag- :
naboschL He was driven back with
heavy losses.
"Late information regarding the en
gagement of the 16th shows that our
Alpine troops took 306 prisoners, iu
; eluding seven officers, and also 12
machine guns, in addition to the guns
already reported.”

IN A JITiJfeYj~BOTH THE FIRST

The other day, two men entered the
only “jitney" doing business as such
in the city, and stood sitting while
their pictures were taken. This alone
would not constitute sufficient mater
ial for a notice were it not for the
fact that both men have been honor
ed with the highest office in the gift
of the residents of Ketchikan; and
that one was the first so honored af
ter the incorporation of the city as a
municipality and the other is the first
elected to the same office by the dir
ect vote of the people Both held the
office of mayor. M. E. Martin was the
first mayor of Ketchikan and M. J.
Henneghan was elected mayor by the
people’s direct vote this spring pur
suant to an act of the territorial legis
lature. Both enjoy the full confidence
of the people; both are in business
and have been successful as such. ;
But the most remarkable feature is I
that both are of Irish (or French) I
parentage, as their names indicate.
However, those who know the men
will appreciate and Measure a picture
of the two sitting in the jitney bus.
Not only because . they have been
mayors, nor because they are in busi
ness, but because their respective giv-'
en name is Mike.

RUSSIANS TAKE

WHOLE ARMY TRAVEL THIRTEEN MILES IN ONE
DAY AND WIN GREAT BATTLE.
LONDON, June 22. — The greatest battle on the Galician
front that ever was fought came to an end last evening when the
whole of the Russian army in the Bukowina province marched
thirteen miles in one day, met, fought and captured one hundred
and seventy thousand prisoners of war, says a correspondent of
the morning London Times from Czernowitz.
The success is said to be due to the fact that the Russian
army devided into two columns, one column advanced south of
Czernowitz while the other advanced from the east w'hen they
wedged the Austrians with the result above mentioned.

KING CONGRATULATES
BRITISH GRAND FLEET
LONDON, June 22. — An official
communication gives an account of a
recent visit by King George to the
grand fleet and an address by the mon
arch to the representatives of the un
its of the fleet on parade. The King
said:
"Admiral Jellicoe and officers and
men of the grand fleet: You waited
nearly two years with most exemplary
patience for the opportunity of meet
ing and engaging the enemy’g fleet.
I can well understand how trying this
period and how great your relief when
you knew on May .31 that the enemy
had been sighted. The unfavorable
weather conditions and approaching
darkness prevented that complete re
sult which you all expected’ But you
did all possible under the circum
stances. You drove the enemy into
his harbor and inflicted on him very
severe losses. You added another
page to the glorious traditions of the
British navy. You could not do more.
For your splendid work i thank you.”
