Confident Hindenburg Sunk

Edinburg, June 5.-Survl-
vors here from the British de-
strovers which were engaged
in the Jutland battle are con-
vinced that they sunk the Ger
man dreadnaught Hindenburg,
which was the pride of the Ger
man navy. They say the Hin
denburg was STRUCK successive
ly by four torpedoes.
According to story of the naval
battle received here, the German fleet
engaged in the Jutland battle num-
bered 100 vessels, including at least
twenty battleships and battle cruisers.
Apart from the fact that the Ger
mans were three times as strong as
the squadron of Admiral Beatty, the
German fleet had the advantage OF
light and adopted their favorite tao
tics of hugging the coast, at the same
time assuring them a safe retreat. The
fight was mainly a battle of big guns.
AS the big ships came up the range
was rapidly reduced from fifteen to
ten miles, and finally to five. BY this
time the battle was virtually an in
ferno as the opposing squadrons
rained broadsides upon one another

IT 3 SD|FFERENT
So co EARLY To
BUY TICKETS
ARDMORE PEOPLE CAN RELIEVE
CONGESTION AND GET BETTER
SERVICE BY BEING MORE
PROMPT.

The people of Ardmore who have
occasion to leave over the railway
trains are reminded that they are
living in different city from what
they lived in one year ago. We
have been accustomed to going to
the station about ten or fifteen min
utes ahead of train time and getting
tickets, checking baggage leisurely
and then have plenty of time. But
things are different now. The sta
tions are so badly crowded just be-
fore train time that the trucks cannot
be moved. Especially is this 50 at
the Santa Fe station, where a make
shift of a depot building is still
being used Agent Herndon cannot
meet the demands of the people as
they are coming now. All want tick
cts and all want baggage checked at
the same time, and there is a con
gested condition that prevents the
giving of good service. Those who
know they are going away can get
good service and confer big favor
upon Agent Herndon by buying tick
cts and checking baggage in advance
Remember that you are living in a
different town,

Captain Burlington recently became inter ested in the strike on Rude Dip and Isaac creeks, near the Yukon river, fifty miles above Dawson. So interested did he become that he bought four claims on Rude creek-No below discovery, and G. II and 10 above Te then found that Nos. and above discovery were also for sale and, playing his hunch, secured them with the rest, the whole deal costing him Sl0,000 Yesterday he got letter from his mining superintendent whom he he'd previously sent in to work on the first four claims he purchased telling him that he must by all means buy Nos ? and 3, go as high as 5000 each. My superin- tendent didn't know when he wrote me in regard to Nos. ? and 3 above discovery that l had already purchased them," said Captain Harrington yesterday, Tt looks like I had the right hunch on those claims, as he is an expert miner. 1 am getting the whole bunch for what he thought I might have to pay for the two alone. " Captain Harrington has six men at work on his claims now, and will go in himself in the spring Besides his mining ventures, Captain Harrington will put new freight and passenger boat on the Stikine river next season. The boat will be powered with gasoline engines. q already have the f for supplies to his mine, and also for the trading post at Telegraph creek" said Captain Harrington.
