AMAZING SPECTACLE
ON SOMME FRONT
The correspondent of the London
Times on the Somme front, who
claims to have witnessed many bloody
battles, relates a late incident which
he characterizes as suggestive. He
says in part:
“During the fight of Saturday the
front wave swept over Regina trench
in pursuit of Germans a'ready on the
run.
“A lieutenant, who had been crouch
ing in a “cubby” home, began firing
his automatic pistol after our men.
Unluckily for him, he had forgotten
all about the second wave, and before
he could stir cr cry out, one of our
men was on him with the bayonet.
“Quite a number of Germans
scrambled out of their trench' and
came running to meet our'men, with
arms up and fingers spread fo show
they were not clasping bombs. The
attack was not to be held up, there
fore, the order was passed to let
them through.
“So the amazing spectacle was wit
nessed of British soldiers charging in
one direction, bayonets poised, ami
German warriors bolting in the other,
hands in air.
“It is stated that German officers
who attempted to arrest this flight
were shot by their own men. There
have been several authenticated in
stances of late.
“A significant fact is that several
machine gun teams voluntarily sur
rendered. The machine-gunners con
stitute a corps d’elite, and every mem
ber takes an oath never to yield.
“As a rule this is kept, and that it
should have been thus deliberately
broken is suggestive.”
THE SEAL HERD OF
THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS

MISTREATMENT OF FRENCH
PRISONERS SET FORTH
- I
The case of the French governmenti
against Germany in reference to the
mistreatment of French prisoners of
war, appears in a volume of nearly
10 pages just issued. The following
accusations are said to have been j
proved:
Theft from French prisoners; kill
ing of wounded prisoners; executions
without formality of civilians arrest
ed on the pretext of sniping; trans
portation of prisoners in foul cattle
cars with healthy, sick and wounded
crowded together indiscriminately
without food or medicine; insults and
violence to prisoners by German sol
diers upon their arrival in Germany;
attacks upon French prisoners by wo
men at Erfort with knives, sickles
and scythes, tolerated by the escort; i
spitting upon and whipping of pris- I
oners by civilians and kicking of i
prisoners by young German recruits |
as they filed through Torgau; great
ravages in nearly all prison camps by
tuberculosis developed by neglect of
most elemental hygienic precautions;
spread of typhus among British and
French prisoners by mixing them
with infected Russians, general prev
alence of rheumatism in all prison
camps as the result of dampness; en
forced labor of prisoners of war on
military works such as trench dig
ging, manufacture of munitions; in
sufficient food, shelter and clothing.
Photographs of German camps are
offered to show the prisoners in mid
winter with only tents or dugouts for
shelter.

The ANCHORAGE-WILLOW CREEK MINING & DEVELOPMENT
CO. is to tap what is believed to be the richest lode
in the Willow
i This company owns twenty-four claims surrounding
| the rich Gold Bullion property, and it is proposed to
§ drive two tunnels in the mountain at creek level and tap
jj the veins which are now being worked by the Gold Bullion
5 mine, and are dipping at an angle of about 20 degrees,
B which will bring them within the lines of the Anchorage
§ ; Willow Creek Mining & Development Co.’s property at a
5 slight depth.
B The claims owned by this company are: Bullion Ex
5 tension No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; Combination No. 1, 2, 3,
1® and 4; Jumbo No. 1, 2, and 3; Hilltop No. 1, 2, 3, and 4;
Leroi, Lucky Boy, Lone Star, and Engleside No. 1, 2, 3
and 4. ' • >
~ -These claims adjoin the ,Gold Bullion property on
three sides and are less than'half a mile from the rich
Martin and Independence mines. The Gold Bullion Min
ing Co. owns si(claims ott the top of a mountain. This
mountain is in aiirSi&t line.witli the aip of the lehds from
the Mabel and M&rfin mines*-and it is the theory of emi
ment. mining merf,'THat at the lowetvl«WlS df this mountain
' will be found the mother lode of fHe^Shiire-Willow Creek
'‘district.
Rich Ledges Exposed.
There are several exposed ledges on the property of
the Anchorage-Willow Creek Mining & Development Co.,
and it would be possible for the company to start on these
ledges and following them down make a good little mine.
This, however, is not the intention of the directors of this
® company. It is proposed to start two tunnels at the base !
5 of the mountain about a mile' apart and drive them
® straight into the mountain. These tunnels will be so lo
i eated as .to strike the leads at a depth where the greatest
® width will have been attained by the leads and where the
® greatest values will be found.
6 The mines now working in the Willow Creek c&ountry*
® although in some eases remarkably rich, are followi lg
1 leads which are only offshoots from the great body of
§ high-grade ore which will be found at greater depth.
® It is to strike this ore at a great depth that this com
g pany plans tp drive tunnels and then work upward on
g the leads, and it is expeoted that when the tunnels are in
g leas than 500 feet, a mini? will be.opened which will prove
1 the marvel of the century.
| All Willow Creek Mines Successful.
g There never has been a failure in the Willow Creek
® mining district. Every mine which has been opened there
® has paid good dividends, and it-is the.flrm belief of the
fj directors of the Anchorage-Willow Creek Mining & De
® velopment Co., that the mine which will be opened on its
® property will be the greatest in the history of Alaska.
§ The directors of the Anchorage-Willow Creek Min
i ing & Development Co., are men well known to the people
1 of Anchorage, and whose names* are a guarantee that the
1 money realized by the sale of stol*k will be used solely for
g the purposes advertised.

ed by the company is president of the Anchorage-Willow
Creek Mining & Development Co. Mr. Cassidy is a miner
with years of experience.

has been in Dawson, Fairbanks, Nome and the Turnagain
Ann district, and at all times has devoted his entire time

a man of sterling quality. He came to this country 20
years ago, and has been identified with its growth and
development ever since. He is the largest individual
! property owner in Anchorage and has large interests at
