CAVALRY REMOUNTS
NEEDED ON BORDERj
(Special to Gateway by United Preas)
SAN ANTONIO, April 4. — The
European war has so stripped United
Eta tea of good horses that today l.
S. army officers have admitted
a serious shortage of cavalry re
mounts.
General Funston has combed Texas
without result for available animals
capable of standing up under hard
campaigning. The buyers ot t ranee,
Italy and Great Britain have swept
Texas bare of cavalry animals.
St. Louis, Kansas City, Atlanta, i
Chicago and smaller horse markets
now are being investigated by army i
officers in the hope of obtaining a suf- j
ficient supply in a hurr>. Here also,
however, the army men found that
the buyer for the warring nations or
Europe had preceded them.
American cavalry regiments are
reported to be short now of remounts
needed in real campaign work and
should many bo lost in lighting the
problem would become grave. State
cavalry regiments too are reported as
generally delicient in cavalry animals.
This is considered important for. in
case the Mexican campaign develops
and the need arises to send all the
regular cavalry into the southern re
public, national guard cavalry regi
ments probably will be the first to be
called for bonier patrol work.

RIGGS EXPECTS TO START
NORTH ABOUT APRIL l
FAIRBANKS.—That he will leave
Washington, D. C., on or before
April 1, anti that he expects to be back
in Fairbanks before the opening of
navigation, are the main statements
contained in a letter received on the
last mail by Charles W. Ritchie,
special agent of the general land
office, from Thomas Riggs, Jr., mem
ber of the Alaska Engineering Com
mission. That is, Mr. Riggs has hopes
of starting north by April 1, but hrs
letter contains the further statement
that his coming back to resume his
work here depends entirely upon the
matter of the appropriation made by
congress for railroad work in the
North, and its appointment as far as 1
the Fairbanks end of the line is con
cerned. And without exactly stating
that the appropriation is an assured
fact, Mr. Riggs holds out hopes that
it will be made and that work on this
end of the line will commence during
the coming summer.—Times.
SUSPICIOUS DEATH
Reports have been received by the
Royal Northwest mounted police at
Dawson of a mysterious death on the
Nchanni river, a tributary of the
Mackenzie river beyond the headwat
ers of the Telly river. A party of
prospectors recently visited there in
quest of a supposed rich new placer
strike, and found that a cabin which
had been erected by Atkinson and Jur
gen was burned, and nearby found the
skeleton of Jorgan and his empty
rifle, and evidences pointing to an ap
parent struggle.—Fx.

LEGISLATIVE ACT IS
UPHELD BY GREGORY
FAIRBANKS.—Many people of the
territory will be glad to learn of an
opinion rendered recently by the at
torney-general as to the law passed
by the first legislature, relative to
imposing a territorial license tax on
all physicians. Some time ago, the
district attorney’s ofliee took the mas
ter up with the attorney-general, ask
ing an opinion as to whether or not
the legislature had the authority to
pass such a statute. On the last mail
from the States, a reply was received,
in which the attorney- general declar
ed that there could be no doubt as to
the power of the legislature in this
matter; that the body certainly had
the right to pass such a law.—Ex.
HAYDEN AND JACKLING
AFTER BOLIVIAN MINES
BOSTON, March 21.—Charles Hay
den left on Monday for a protracted
trip through South America with D.
C. Jackling on the latter’s yacht Cy
prus. The primary object is to in
spect some tin mines in Bolivia which
Hayden, Stone & Co. have under op
tion and which they have had engin-1
cers examining for the past six
months. Were all of the options ex
ercised the combined output would
constitute about 80 per cent, of the
Bolivian production of tin and about
25 per cent, of the world’s production.
The party will visit Peru and vari
ous places in Chile, including the,
properties of the Chile and Braden j
Copper companies. The travelers will |
then cross on the Transandine Rail
way from Valparaiso to Buenos Ay
res, the yacht meanwhile going
| around through the Straits of Magel
i lan and joining the party on the east
| coast. Mr. Hayden will also inspect
j some cement properties which his firm
has under option in the Argentine,
then proceeding along the Atlantic
coast to various cities in Brazil and
back to Key West. The entire trip
will consume about two months.—

HOMESTEADERS FLOCKING
TO ALASKA, SAYS FORESTER
University of Washington: — Al
askan national forests are being pop
ulated rather rapidly as a result of
the development of the new govern
ment railroad, many homesteaders
entering them the moment construc
tion of the line was assured. Word
of this movement was brought to the
campus a few days ago by W. G.
Weigle, supervisor of national forests
in Alaska.
The territory’s two reserves com
prise close to 20,000,000 acres, but
sawmills arc very scarce. The few
that are operating,, according to Mr.
Weigle, are running only about 40,000
feet in a 10-hour day. Transporta
tion is limited to water in the re
serves, and the forest rangers are
compel led to operate six boats for in
, spection purposes.—Ex.
