THAT CON GAME IS OFF.
Sumpter People Will not Invest
in Alaska Mines.

1t looks like con game. In fact, II
bears such striking resemblance to that
popular pastime that it failed to work.
One, }. n. Bush, related the alluring tale
of great placer gold diggings in the far
away, frozen north. He had been to
Alaska and knew exactly where these
rich diggings were, and are yet undscSv.
cred by any other living man. He told a
good story, straight story, one that is
far more enticing than the old, familiar
gold brick song and dance-which catches
the best of us, occasionally.
Bush's first proposition was that he
would show representative of local
syndicate where these fabuously rich
mines are, II purse Of SIS 500 were raised
for a grub stake, he to receive a certain
interest in the property. This was ac.
cepted promptly and the amount of money
raised without difficulty. Some OF the
shrewdeSt business men In town were In
on this good thing. Shares were placed
at fifty dollars each and several citizens
spared for more than was apportioned to
them. Walter Looney and Mr.. Cowden,
brother Of }. w., the capitalist, were go.
ing along to represent the syndicate. Mr..
Looney had gone so far as to rent his
home.
When arrangements had reached this
advanced stage, several days since, the
sole repository Of this valuable secret,
modified his offer. The $500 was raised
so easily, that he thought $500 more could
be picked up without much trouble. He
wanted that for his very own, as pay for
his information-wanted II In currency, SO
that he could put it In his pocket. This
looked suspicious and there was a
suspension Of operations. J. W. Cowden
offered to deposit $4,000 in the First Bank
Of Sumpter, to be paid over to him when
Messrs. Looney and Cowden would certify
to the fact that he had fulfilled his agree.
ment.
J. n. Bush refused to accept this offer
and the deal is of-and Sumpter people
are $500 better off than they would have
been had they pungled.

Work at the keystone.

Captain G. n. Thompson, the Spokane
mining operator, has been here for several
days, during which time he has arranged
for the rebuilding Of the burned property
at the keystene mine, which fire occurred
last fall. All plans for replacing the
buildings and operation of the mine will
be completed at once and extensive devel-
opment will be inaugurated at an early
day. Other claims will be added to the
Keystone group, now owned by that com.
pany, making 1t one OF the most desirable
in that vicinity.

oKLAHoMA's SALT PLAINS.
An Immense Area of Territory Inches
Deep With Saline Dust

Sixteen miles from Augusta. now as
Stunning importance as a new railway ter
MUS, lies the smaller Of the two great
salt plains of Oklahoma. Its area en-
braces nearly 100 square miles 1t mea-
sures ten miles east and west across
its centre and twelve miles north and
south. The salt deposit is from one inch
to four inches deep. Its elevation Of 800
feet above the sea level is about the aver
age Of Woods county. No trust seeks TO
control it. and the sun. which shines for
the poor as well as the rich. never en-
tirely shuts down its evaporating plant.
In the desert are saline springs. the source
of pools and laKOOns where the water
spreads in the suns rays and passes away
in yapor, leaving the salt deposit The
shifting winds Of centuries have blown this
salt beyond the natural boundaries Of the
pools, yet ten years show very little en-
croachment on the tillable land around.
During hot days one of the most active
springs deposits salt In the form of an ant
hill, from the apex OF which a tiny stream
of saline water trickles down, leaving a
scanned, porous base. The action OF the
wind completes the work and a column of
chlorate of sodium is formed, but does not
stand long. for the erosion continues and
the column soon breaks at the bottom and
falls With true American perseverance
the little spring begins again and the pro-
cess is repeated. This curiosity mas its
archetype IN Holy Writ. Its 5ohriqurt of
Lots Wife, however, does not prove
the hypothesis that it is an exemplinca ton
Of the ancient pillar Of salt, which has
none of these suggestive repetitions.
When Lot found his wife Transformed into
a pillar OF salt he was wise enough to let
it go al that and not take a fresh one.
Over the west county line in Woodward
County is another salt plain double the
size Of the one near Augusta Blocks of
salt cut in Woods County have been eX-
hibited in Augusta, and Government tests
show them TO be IS per cent pure and pos
sessed of the same properties and strength
as sea salt. This saline product Of the
plains is TOO far from a railroad now to be
valuable for commercial purposes, but pre-
vious to the settlement Of the Cherokee
Strip hundreds of fat cattle grazed on the
nutritious buffalo grass which grew close
up to the saline deposits they were never
known to stray far. and cattlemen came
from a distance and carted away big loads
of salt for herds grazing elsewhere.
On first sight the salt appears like
lake of shimmering water. The view in
