U. S. MOSQHTO FLEET’S
PROWESS BEING TESTED
(Special to Gateway by Umted Press)
NEW YORK. Sept. 5.—Uncle Sam's
submarine hunters were going into
action today. The navy's protectors
against underwater warcraft, consist
ing mainly of motor boat: or great
tpeed, manned by volunteer seamen
who own the boats will have their
first real test since their organization,
when they are put through their paces
und» r the “yes of government officers.
Maneuevers, which w ill end Sept. *12.
will be held off Boston, Newport.
New York, ami the Delaware capes.
The senior naval officer present at
each point nn ill be in charge.
Probably‘the most interesting feat
ure of the cruise will come on tin
third day. and wijl consist of maneuv
ers in mine sweeping, communiea
tions, defense of battleships and pro
tection of harbors from attacks by
submarines.
(•roups will leave their respective
bases early in the morning ami will
proceed in the district to which they
have been assigned to search for
mines. When a mine is located it will
be removed and the search will pro
ceed until all have been located and
loaded onto the boats.
On the fourth day the patrol boats
will assemble with the battleships
which have been assigned to take part
in the maneuvers, and will form a
screen to protect the big vessels from
attacks by submarines.
This part of the United States
fleet is being recognized as one of the<
most important since the advent of
the submarine as a formidable weap
on of offense in the European war.
Recently trials were held with the
United States patrol boats and# they j
I succeeded in theoretically destroying;
a United States submarine after it j
had submerged in plain view of them. [
Numerous wealthy citizens havear-1
dered boats specially designed to be
turned over to the government in case j
of war anti many of these will
seen in the maneuvers which begin tc- j
day.

HUGHES SAYS FEDERAL
RESERVE DUE TO (I. O. P.
MI LAVAU K EE, Sept. 21.—H ughes
spoke here last night and devoted
much of his speech to “Americanism”
which he has evidently come to be
lieve very popular, although some of'
the opposition newspapers say he has
learned his mistake in trying to get
the pro-German vote. One point
which he made last night was that the'
federal reserve banking system was
not an idea of the Democrats but is
the property of the Republicans. He
also declared that the ship bill it. -
menace to white labor and failed to
protect the men at all.

Will Bring Plant
for Rich Placers
Canyon Creek \»ill Have Hh Well
Known IHehnesH Further
Developed.
J. It. McDonald will leave in a few
days to secure a plant for the opera
tion of the ground of himself an* his
associates on Canyon creek and the
plant will be shipped in over the snow
this fall and winter so that a full
season’s operations can he made sun
next summer. Mr. McDonald and his
associates purchased the well known
Wilson placer property on Canyon
creek about a year ago at what is said
to be a large consideration. They
have thoroughly prospected the
ground with highly satisfactory resuls
and with a small hydraulic plant they
moved 1500 yards of gravel this sum
mer that showed returns of fifty cents
a yard. It is known that there fs
much richer ground but with a good
plant the dirt this summer is exceed
ingly profitable and the p?ant to be
brought in will be capable of handling
big yardage. And with a plant handl
ing 8,000 to fi.000 yards there is said
to be twenty years work in sight.
Duncan Stewart who bought the
ground below the Wilson property had
a most successful season there with a
big plant, and with the rich promise of
Canyon and its tributaries and the two
big plants that will be operating tf. *re
next year big things may be expected.
