TANANA IS TIE CAMP
Rich Planning on Bed Rock Salts
Ass q Prospsctor of It's Future.

The good reports from the Tanana dis
trict continues. The Dawson News just
ut hand says:
T william Joel returned last evening
from the Ianana district, and after a
six weeks tramp over the various
creeks on which strikes have been
made, he has come to the conclusion
that the Tanana is the coming mining
camp on the American side. He vi
listed Faith, Hope and Charity creeks,
including HON stake, McManus, Con-
vert and others, and found evidences
of rich paintings on bedrock that salts
fed him that even richer claims would
yet be found.
He reports about a thousand men
now scattered throughout the district
prospecting, with some development
work going on on Homestake, Faith
and Deep or .eks.
The pay dirt is practically on the
surface and about three feet to bed
rock, 30 that cent dirt can be
worked protitably. Mr.. Joel expect to
return to the Tanana shortly"

THE CANAIGRE CROP.

About four years ago NJ. WormSer
leased large tract of land near Phe-
nix to canaigre company, a large por-
ton of which was planted with ca
naigre. The same company employed
a large force of Japanese digging the
wild canaigre found all through central
Arizona. The cultivated crop is Just
now being harvested
Fifteen car loads were marketed last
month and there will be twenty or
twenty-five next month
The product is gathered by Il digging
device, is sliced by machinery and then
dried in the sun previous to shipment
y part of the product goes to San Fran
cisco. but the most of it is sent to
Liverpool, England
The canaigre farm contains 1000
acres. and the crop sold by Mr.. Gold
man brought the estate $4,000. The
new company is engaged in replanting
the ground from which the roots have
been gathered. though the harvest
never fully robs the field as the small
fragments and roots are left in the
ground and like potatoes Il new sprout
starts from mere fragment of a tuber
Never before has canaigre culture
been given a fair test in Arizona and
thus far all experiments and results
have been highly satisfactory 1t is
strictly the tanning and cultivating of
a wild plant indigenous to this soil and
is the development of Il natural re
source of that valley, the possibilities
of which cannot be estimated.
The original company which started
the business there purchased 5000 acres
of the land near San Bernardino, Cali
fornia, but the experiment there ap-
parently proved a failure.

THE BOXER" OUTBREAK.

The Boxer" uprising in China ap-
pears To be growing more acute. and
it would seem that the movement is
approaching the magnitude of re-
belliOn The term Boxers" is ap-
piled to the disaffected Chinese for the
reason that the troubles began with
societies organized for athletic pur
poses. but which. as is often the case
countries, very soon became engaged
in politics. The uprising is confined TO
the northern provinces. and apparently
centers in the vicinity of Pekin. The
Chinese government appears to be en-
deavoring to fulfill its treaty obliga-
tions by protecting all foreigners so
far as it is able. but the imperial gov
eminent has little real power. and
there is no doubt that the Boxers"
fully believe that the real sympathies
of the empress are with them.
1t is quite certain, however, that any
neglect of effort on the part of the
empress 10 fully protect foreigners
would he promptly followed by Euro
Yean occupation Of the seapOrts, and
quite possibly by the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of the nation. 1t is very difficult to
understand Chinese politics. or the po-
litical situation in the empire. but the
fact seems to be that the reform party
is quite strong in the southern and
more fertile part of the country. and
that there is little danger of successful

adjoining Manchuria. upon which Rus

unquestiOnably an ugly thing. Fortu-
nately it is never armed or well led.
There is no question that under good
leaders the Chinese will fight. but the
corruption which exists among the So

there is little fear of anything more
serious than the sporadic outbreaks
which are now occurring. Even if the
rebellion should spread for a time
through all the northern provinces it
would soon wear itself out for want

this number. the census Of 1880 gave
Us less than 60.O00 So it is again to-
day Many are claiming over 100000
