Old DeIusiOnR,

II is ineXplicable how the old dclu-
sion that man cannot eat one quail
day for thirty days holds its own
Any man can eat one quail n day for
thirty days. At Lawrence some years
ago Will Upton ate two quaiIs a day
for more than thirty days. For the
first week or two he starved himself
with the idea that he must keep up an
appetite. After that he sometimes ate
three or four Of the birds in day.
Another old fraud on the public is
the belief that horse cannot pull
sack of sand at the end Of a two hun.

PROsPEcroRs RETURN FROM
 THE
Strike on White RiVU.
Hard Place to Get Into, Bat is Very Rich. Many Claims
 Staked.

Late reports from the new dig gings at faktag prove that section to be a very promising one and fur ther development may prove it to be fully as rich us the Nizina.
 This discovery was made last winter by Mike Marvis and Bob Me Hardy, who were hunting and trapping on White river. They banned little gravel in frying pan, getting d good prospect, and returned there this summer in com- pany with man named DOver- spike to prospect further. Very little work convinced them that they had made rich find, and they located q number of claims. They were joined by several other men, and some work was done with rockers. On discovery claim four men rocked out in three days 32 ounces of gold.
 The men working rockers on the creek have averaged *2O per day to the man. They have recently joined forces and will abandon rockers for sluice boxes, being con- tident that the output will thereby be increased to $lOO Der day to the man.
 Messers Marvis, Me Hardy and Doverspike came up to Valdez with the gold and spread the news of the strike. Me Hardy went to Seattle with the gold and Marvis and Doverspike returned to Yaktag. There are now about 25 men on the creek.
 Among those who left Valdez for the scene of the strike are Joe Bell, l.. V. Leeper, C. F. Townsend, C. D. Blodget, J. J. Godfrey, Billy Carlis and Jack McClancy. They landed at Kayak. and from there were taken in canoes by natives to the mainland, about l5 miles distant, and then travelled along the beach to Yaktag. They located a num- her of claims and Messrs. Bell, Townsend, Blcdget and Godfrey re- turned to Valdez. They are we'll pleased with the country and will return early in the spring to work their claims.
 While prospecting Messers God frey and BiOdget rocked out $6 in two hours and in one hour banned out $2. Joe Bell dug out of the rim-rock with his pocket knife about $2 in gold in less than an hour, one nugget weighing 25 cents.
 One serious drawback to the country is the extreme difficulty of reaching it. For greater portion of the time the surf is SD high as to make landing on the beach an im- possibility, and this is especially true of this season of the year. A large number of people have been trying to get in there for the past six weeks, but without success. Probably the best method of reaching the ground would be to start from Kayak some time in January or February, embracing favorable weather 10 reach the mainland, and sled the seasons outfit along the beach, distance of 70 miles.
 Beach diggings have been worked at Yaktas for the past three years, and there are four men still work ing there and are rocking out fro,n A to $S per day to the man.

STRUCK (kAQU5H[R OIL WE'LL AT COTELLA IS
 FLOWING 10 if. Column of Oil
Coal Also Discovered There. Rush For Oil Land From
 New York.

The English syndicate which has been boring for oil at Cotella, has struck a gusher. They were within two hundred feet of where they expected to strike q flow, when the oil suddenly burst out, taking everything before it and rose to d height of l50 feet. They were not expecting anything of the kind and 1t took them some time to get it under control, but they finally succeeded and now have it capped and are ready to begin shipping at any time.
 The oil is of good quality and is worth $4 per barrel as it comes from the we'll. It can be shipped to the States for $3 per ton, thus insuring a good profit to the work CTS.
 Cotella is a small native village at the upper end of Controller bay near the mouth of Martin river. Controller bay is about 30 miles beyond the mouth of Copper river and lies behind the island of Kay ak.
 Indications of oil have been found at this place for some time, but this syndicate is the first to do any act ual development. Signs of oil are found for 12 miles from the beach. Coal is also found in workable quantities. Richard Temple and others located 16O acres of coal land there some time ago and sold it to a company last year for $lOO,- GOO. The company claims to be able to mine the coal and put it on the beach at cost of less than a dollar a ton. The natives have re- gently discovered a body of coal about six miles from the beach, which is 60 feet wide.
 There was quite rush for oil property at Cotella recently. Sev- eral men from New York came up on the Santa Ana to take up claims which were open for relocation. Three of them dropped off at Ellamar and chartered the Me Pherson sloop to land them at Controller bay. The others, who came on to Valdez, had a warrant for the arrest of one of the Ellamar party, Dr. NJ. w. Brunner, and hoped to get an officer here to serve it, thus detaining the others until they could reach the oil fields. In this they were disappointed, as the doctor and party had left Ellamar for Cotella before the Santa Ana reached Valdez.
 Big Suit Over Mining Property.
 Notice has been filed in the com missioners office that suit will be brought by the Chittyna Explora- tion Co.,, against R. F. Mcclellan and others, who are interested in the Alaska Copper Co.,, for an in terest in the Bonanza group of claims. This suit has been brought by the Exploration Company on the grounds that the locators of the said claims were in the employ of the company at the time loca- tiOns were made.
 All the parties concerned, who are now here, are very reticent about the matter, and refuse to be interviewed on the subject. ] The defendants are ordered to appear before the court at this place on or before October Sth. The att torneys for the plaintiff are Q. P. Hubbard, w. B. Heyburn and E. . C. Campbell.
