'SOONERS' HAD TO GO.
Several Arrests Made on the Spo-
kane, Wash, Reservation.
CROWD IS AFTER RICH LEDGEs
A Grand Rush Will Come With the
News of the Signing of
the Bill.

Special to The Journal
Davenport. Wash, May 23.-All the
''sooners" who were camped on the spo-
kane reservation have been driven off by
the Indian police. assisted and directed
by deputy United States marshal. Sew
eral arrests were made, including Dr.
Kelly and Frank Thompson of this place,
who are held at the agency Jail.
Over 1000 men are camped along the
reservation border awaiting the signal
throwing open the reservation to mineral
settlement. 1t is asserted there are two
leads of apparent richness on the ground.
One is near Cedar Canyon and the other
is. about three miles north of the Spo-
kane river. Their location is we'll known
and trouble is expected when the rush
begins. One ledge shows good ore crop
ping three feet above the ground.
Spokane company has several men
awaiting to rush in these lodges. Riders
are waiting at Springdale and relays Of
horses are in readiness at Cedar Canyon.
system of giant powder signals has
been arranged on the peaks from Cedar
Canyon to the coveted ground. Before the
"sooners" were driven off this company
had seven men stationed in a circle
around the ledge. The men were kept
moving, so that some one Of them would
be on the ledge all the time.
All kinds of schemes are being devised
to get the news Of the signing of the bill
ahead Of other persons. The telephone
wires have been cut repea teddy and COM
munication by mounted couriers and
signal fires will probably be used extern
sively.
Before the ''sooners' were driven off
two rival parties OF prospectors had built
barbados about 100 feet apart upon the
same ledge and battle would probably
have ensned had they been allowed to
remain.

the case last season, the Eastern is pre-
pairing to ship 100000 tons of iron ore
this year. A good start has already been
made.
The Eastern Minnesota is so high that
for a half mile before the water line is
reached there had to be an immense
trestle built SO that the engineers can
get the ore to the deck of the dock In
this structure there were originally
placed 100000 feet Of Washington fir
for the superstructure and timber work.
There were $4,000 pieces Of piling driven
in the building of the dock and the
trestle. In the building Of the 600. feet
of addition to the dock there will be used
100000 900 feet of lumber, and 1000 separate
piles. This shows the vast amount OF
material that is taken to erect shipping
monster of this character So.
Old time ore docks in this region ran
from Al to IS feet in height and now they
are from 60 to 70 feet, the latter being. at

mean distinction The addition will have
100 pockets for the storing of ore, fifty

structure a capacity of $500 gross tons
Of iron ore, making it by far the largest
in the world. Heretofore the largest has
been the Duluth, :Missabe & Northern
dock, which has capacity of 69,120 tons
Of ore. The height of the Eastern Mime
sofa dock will be 7S feet from the water
to the deck. With this immense struc-
ture the Eastern Minnesota will have at
