from 2O0 to 800 or LOCO yards without the
slightest trouble. Deer Point extends out
just to the westward of the range and
there is very high bank the full limit OF

valleys which have been turned into a
giant target range.
A considerable distance back Of the shore
there Is a high hill, and on top OF this is
a water supply sufficient TO furnish drink

system OF pipes has been laid TO every

some distance to the east, is the main rest

are 10 ranges and to the eastward sixty.
Still farther to the east are the ranges for

From the main rest house there is deep

targets and across the butts of the 10 tar

the butts of the 6D0-yard range and makes
a curve which carries the officers on duty
around to the butts OF the l.O0o-yard ranges.
1t is thus possible for an inspector 10 visit
every butt in the range during the firing
without interrupting the practice. In this
respect the Guantanamo range surpasseS
any in the world.
The construction of this target range the
first ever built for the Navy Department,
was authorized by the rife practice depart
ment, which is under the direction 70 Lieut..
Commander Simms and Lieut.. Rudley Nc
Lean.
Three landings have been built for the
crews of the ships. and the range IS so close
to the waters edge that it is possible for q
crew to land and start IN to practice within
fifteen minutes. Over at the main rest

o'clock that evening. The letter containing
this information did not reach militia head

The assistant secretary, Mr.. Newberry

Walter Z. Burt of the Naval Battalion
The Secretary and his aid proceeded to
make a searching inspection of the two
ships the Puritan and Oneida, and of the
men of the regular service and of the Naval
Militia. The latter, OF whom more than 90
per cent of the total membership We're in

Capt. Stratton was complimented by Mr.
Newberry on the progress made since the

HAMBURG BUYS HUACHUCA
 CLAIMS
President of Princeton Mining Co, Adds to His Mineral
 Holdings,

President and General Manager Henry Hamburg, of the Princeton Mining Co, in the Huachucas, has consummated the purchase of six claims adjoining the Princeton prop eTty from Messrs. Berner and Camp bell. The deal was closed less than two weeks ago. The purchase price is not named. but it has been known for some time that Berner and Camp bell have held their property at a fig ure much higher than Huachuca min ing claims have been quoted for some time.
 MT. Hamburg and the Princeton Co. have been unusually reticent in mat. ters relating to their mining interests and MT. Hamburg's corroboration yesterday of the report of the above deal would indicate that negotiations just closed have had much to do with the secrecy of that gentleman's move menIs.
 Immediately following the Berner & Campbell deal, Hamburg went to Fl Paso where he purchased machin- cry and equipment for more extensive development of his properties. With the Butte and Arizona Go. operating in close proximity to the Princeton and the Hamburg crowd going after a mine with modern methods. the Hua- chucas bid fair 10 forge to the front in the mining activity of this section.
 It is a well known fact that the Pohndorfs, acting as purchasing agents for the Butte and Arizona, an alnalgamated asset, made strong eff fort to get the Princeton group as we'll as the Berner-Campbell property. In view of this fact it would seem that sharp competition with the Arizonan leading, was factor in the negotia- tiCns just closed.
 That the Princeton has had ore for some time has been automatically stated, but at no time since the rumor came out could Hamburg be prevailed upon to either confirm or deny. Now that he has succeeded in taking over his neighbors' property he freely ad- mits that sulphide. carbonate and oxi- des have been encountered at dif- ferent times in the development of his company's mines.
 The Princeton group, as well as the Berner-Cempbell claims, are still in Ramsey Canyon, south of Hereford Station. on the Fl Paso and South western. and are reached by a wagon road from that point. Recent work on the part of the Amalgamated crowd has resulted in the material improvement of this road. Hamburg is the original locator of the Prince. ton mines and holds the controlling interest in the>stock of that company. His associates are Chicago and Pitts. burg capitalists.

.BISBEE GIRL IS STILL
 UNCONSCIOUS IN CALF.
WORD RECEIVED SAYS THERE IS PRACTICALLY NO HOPE OF
 MISS BROWNS RECOVERY

Word was received in tbe city last evening from Dr. Louis c. Brown that he had arrived at Long Beach, and that his sister, Mis-, .Edith Brown, was still unconscious, and that the doctors did not hold out any hope of recovery.
 The messenger who was sent to the Whitehead ranch to notify Mrs. Thos. Whitehead of the serious illness of her sister, reached the ranch late last evening. The Whiteheads made an early start for town this morning. ar irving here about 10 o'clock. No word has been received from the coast up to 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and Mrs. whitehead, taking it as good omen, did not go out on the eastbound train. About 5 o'clock last evening the word came that the girl had not recov- cred consciousness. and that there was practically no hope of recovery. Mrs. whitehead will leave on today's train for the coast.
 Oliver Brown, the younger brother, who is attending school at Pratt Insti- tute, in New York. was notified yester. day of his sisters illness.
Bisbee daily review., 1906-08-19

the Princeton consists of a number of tunnels. the longest of which is in 401 feet. Assessment work consti- tutes the development of the Berner- Campbell claims.
 The formation at the above proper ties is said to be identical with the surface formation of the Warren dis trict and mining men of standing are optimistic in that they look for the uncovering Of ore bodies riyaling in size those of Bisbee.
 Mir. Hamburg yesterday said in part: q bought the Berner-Campbell group on the strength of what I found in the Princeton. backed by my firm belief that we have out there another Warren district. No detailed plans have been formulated as yet, but I will put on a large force of men at once and push development work as rapidly as men and money will do it"
 While in Fl Paso MT. Humburg purchased a four-drill Sullivan com pressor and a 40 horsepower Marine boiler This equipment is on the road now and should be delivered at Here ford on Wednesday next. A force of men are now at work improving the road from the mine to point where it connects with the Butte and Arizona road. Yesterday Hamburg closed a deal with Teamster Tanksley, of Bis bee, for the hauling of the material.
 With the Princeton and the Butte and Arizona companies as a nucleus, it is safe to predict a degree of min ing activity in the Huachucas that will put in the shade all former opera tions there.
