BUBB CLAIMS
UNDER OPTION
"I
—
L. V. Ray, Maurice D. Leehey and
Clifford Mooers have recently taken
an option to purchase the entire group
of claims located on Dollar creek, in
the famous Cache creek placer district,
which were formerly owned by Bah
renburg and Bubb. Mrs. Bubb and
Henry closed a deal last week whereby
she became owner of the Bahrenburg
interests, paying $28,000 for the Bah
renburg half of the property. The
amount of the option to purchase is
understood to be in the neighborhood
of $150,000. The property consists of
24 placer claims and two lodes and is
among the richest ground in that dis
trict. The former owners Bahren
burg and Bubb, have worked the
ground by hydraulic for the past six
years with varying success, being
hampered at times by the lack of
water. The output has been entirely
satisfactory and the result of their
efforts totals in the neighborhood of
$90,000, and only a small portion of
the ground has been worked. This
ground joins the holdings of the Cache
Creek Dredging Company, which was
worked this season very profitably as
dredging ground.
In speaking of the deal Mr. Mooers
says the new owners will install a
Keystone drill on the property this
winter and start elaborate develop
ments early next season. It is grati
fying to know that gentlemen of such
character and standing as Messrs.
Ray, Leehey and Mooers have decided
to operate in the Cache Creek district,
and is a further evidence of the con
fidence this district is held in by the
mining men of Alaska.
As a means of precaution Mayor
Watts has taken the initiative .in the
mattdr 'of storage of gasoline. It is
against the law for* a dealer or con
sumer to store gasoline on their 'prem
ises and in order to avert any serious
fires or any trouble the mayor will
set aside a piece of ground in the out
skirts of the city for common storage.
The place so designated will be acces
sible and handy to all parties, and by
complying with the demand the deal
ers will avoid handling the product
the second time as the city adminis
tration will see to it that the law is
rigidly enforced.
This system is in vogue in other
cities and is only done from the fact
that gasoline is dangerous and is an
additional hazard for fire insurance
rates, and no doubt the merchants will
readily comply , with the request.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ITAL
IAN ARMY, Oct. 25.—The uniform
of the Italian army is said to lie both
the ugliest and the least visible of any
worn in Europe. “Its wearer doesn’t
eveW rhake a shadow,” said one visi
tor recently among the party of Am
erica:! officials that -ccompanied Am
bassador Thomas Ne.soa Page to the
front.
The color is officially described as
gray-green. An Englishman tried to
convey his idea as follows: “Take
some blue Nile mud, rub in carefully
two pounds of ship rat hair, paint a
roan horse with the composition and
then you will understand why the
Austrians can’t see the Italian sol
diers in broad daylight at 50 yards.
The, color was adopted ten years
ago especially for use in mountain
fighting. It and a sand-colored yel
lo wfor the Italian troops is expected
to take part in African desert fight
ing as in the case of the Tripoli war.
The Italian army was among the
first to make a science of the question
of uniform colors. It did not select,
for jhstance, the horizon-colored uni
form adopted more than a year ago
by the French because while that is
the least visible on roads and plains
of a flat, open country, it would not
do well in the rains and muds and
among the trees of the mountains. ~
A man and his wife running a road
house at Happy River, had a narrow
escape from death recently when the
boat in which they were attempting
to cross the river capsized. They suc
ceeded in reaching shore, but lost
seven fine malamute pups by drown
ing. 1

FIELD HEADQUARTERS, AM
ERICAN PUNITIVE EXPEDITION
IN MEXICO, Oct. 18.—“Fire control” j
drills, which in a month’s time have
increased the effectiveness of cavalry
regiments’ (ire 100 per cent, are im
portant factors in the field maneuvers
being held by the American punitive
expedition.
Far from being a period of stagna
tion for the expeditionary troops, the
hiatus during the last few months in
the pursuit of Villa has been of al
most inestimable benefit to them, par
ticularly to the mounted army. It
has given commanding officers oppor
tunities to handle larger bodies of
men • under conditions more nearly
akin to those of war than have ob
tained at any time since the past 50
years.
The maneuvers, which are varied,
progressive and in accordance with
well-defined plans, include such sim
ple exercises as horse training and
ascend to solving warfare problems
that involve the handling of brigades.
Fire control, although classed among
the elementary exercises, is virtually
new to the cavalry, although the in
fantry has been working on it for sev
eral years.
Pamphlets issued by the School of
Musketry Fire at Fort Sill, Oklaho
ma, have been furnished command
ing officers and problems they con
tain in skeleton form are amplified
and worked out. Exercises suggested
in these pamphlets also are bei^g
tried out and suggestions for im
provement, resulting from ' actual
practice, are being noted. Recom
mendations by regimental officers
j are being studied by General J. J.
Pershing and his chief of staff, Colo
' nel De R. G. Cabell, and those consid
| ered worth while are being incorpor
! ated in tentative manuals.
Studying developments of the Eu
ropean war, and realizing that, under
1 modern conditions of warfare, caval
| ry does most of its fighting on foot,
I commanders of that arm of the serv
i ice are giving their troops a great
deal of dismounted work, paying par
ticular attention to attack. In this
connection it is noticeable that the
ringing bugle no longer sounds the
charge, for every maneuver is made
by signal. Save for the ramp of
hoofs and the leather-softened rattle
of fquipment, troop movements arc
made silently, not a voice being rais
ed in command.
When a problem prepared by the
commanding general of his staff, is
given out, an observer accompanies
each of the opposing leaders and an
umpire watches the operations. Af
ter each mimic, combat, a critique is
; held. Tactical errors are observed
and pointed out and suggestions made
i relative to better maneuvers that
i might have been employed.
Full advantage is being taken of
1 the fact that there are four regiments
i of cavalry at headquarters camp, a
; circumstance without parallel in army
annals for years. All the regiments
' being used, it also is observed, are
I being maneuvered at full war strength
; as provided under the new army reor
' ganizatinn hill. This affords the first
j opportunity American commanders
have had of handling troops of this
• size in maneuvers.
j The war game will reach a climax
j when the maneuvers progress to the
point where every fighting man avall
i able will be marched against an im
aginary enemy under conditions that
almost approximate real war.
Drilled from six to eight hours a
day and performing duties which, if
not carried out, might turn a healthy
camp into a dangerous one, the expe
dition thus far has not stagnated.
