TOMBSTONE MINES.
The New Big Station Pump VIII
Soon BE Ready.

Work at the Tombstone, Arizona,
mines is progressing satisfactorily.
The Prospector of that city, in its
account of operations, says: "On the
zoo, level excavations for the new
pump station are in progress and
will shortly be ready to receive the
additional station pump, which has a
capacity of 1900, 600 gallons daily.
The water in the big shaft is still
controlled without any trouble and
the mammoth pumps are kept con-
stantly at work day and night. A
large ore bin is being built by the
company for the convenient handling
of the ore, to the railroad track, run
ming directly beneath the chutes. A
tramway covering some 100 to 1875
feet from the level of the shaft is run
to the new ore house, and elevated a
dizzy height from the slope of the bill
below. The other work of the COM
pany on the outlying groups continues
regularly, and the ore shipments to
the smelter go forward daily"

CALIENTES BOOMING.
Has Already Become a Typical
Railroad Town.

Calientes, the present southern ter
minus of the Salt Lake Route, is
experiencing a decided boom, and is
rapidly developing at least one of
the characteristics of large city.
Less than a month ago peace and
quiet reigned over the little town. At
that time there were only two saloons
dispensing refreshments and they
were not overrun with patrons.
The Salt Lake company let the
contract for the grading of the first
50 miles of road south of that point.
and in few days another saloon was
opened. Later another liquor seller
pitched his tent close to the others
and prepared to do business.
The contractors arrived with their
grading outfits last Thursday and
found only four saloons. Today, less
than week later, there are nineteen
in the town, and report says that
still others will be opened before the
end OF the week. Salt Lake Tele-

WEST TO BOOM.
So Declares a Salt Laker Well
Known i'm TOnOpab.

Frank H. Lathrap has returned to
Salt Lake from a seven weeks east
ern trip, says the Salt Lake Tribune,
after having accomplished all for
which he went. He has been engaged
in properly financing Tonopah and
other propositions in which he is per-
sonally interested. While the stock
markets have been playing havoc in
all directions, Mr.. Lathrap SAYS the
east is rapidly recovering from the
effects OF the fortune wrecking slump
and at the present time the greatest
kind of interest is being taken by
capital in western mining properties.
While in Philadelphia, where he
spent considerable time, Mr.. Lathrap
received most positive assurance that
the railroad from Sodaville to Tono-
pah would be built and he declares
that it will be very short time till
official announcements of the same will
be made. Construction will begin
Immediately afterward and by early
next spring, he is confident trains
will be running into camp
Within six months, Mr.. Lathrap
predicts, money from the east will
be pouring into western mining and
other enterprises at a rate little
dreamed of at the present time. 1t
is in the air all through the east that
the west is to boom. Under such
conditions, he declares, the boom
must come; nothing short of a national
calamity can prevent it.

BIG FIND AT CLUBHOUSE.
Samples of Rich Ore Bought
to Reno.

There is big excitement down the
river, where the recent rich gold
strike was made. The excitement
was occasioned by the receipt of a
telegram stating that the rich seam
discovered in the holster & Urban
claim had wdened to twenty-three
inches and kept its original bonanza
values.
On receipt OF this news several
parties departed from Reno by train
and in private conveyances and ad-
vices are to the effect that fifty
men have gone in from Olinghouse
gulch, which is only five miles away.
The specimens brought into town
all show wire gold in abundance and

camp will prove every bit as rich as

work at once. His property is on
the trend of the Holster q Urban
strikes.
"Buck' ingalls,, one of the first
men in Olinghouse and who now is
one of the owners of the Ora mine in
that camp, says that the news does
not surprise him and he has no reason
to doubt its authenticity. He says

DEVELOPING WATER.
Clark Road Contractors Sinking
Wells Along the Route.

Wells Along the ACUTE.
The Empire Construction company,
the Utah Construction company and
all the lesser firms that have been
awarded sub-contracts under them
for the grading of the Salt Lake road
south of Calientes, are getting down
to business in a manner that shows
plainly that orders have been issued
to rush the line across the desert
and lose no time in closing the gap
between the southern terminus of the
Salt Lake division and the California
end of the line.
The Empire Construction company
has given out the information that a
party of twelve well drillers has left
Calientes with complete well drilling
outfit for point on a the line about
fifty miles from there to commence
sinking wells.
The party left several days ago
and by this time has probably arrived
at its destination and commenced
work. The orders given the drillers
on their departure were to make
haste and get to water with as little
delay as possible.
1t is also learned that grading
outfit of eighteen carloads equipment
belonging to the firm of Corey Bros. /,
railroad builders, is en- route to this
city from Oregon and will arrive here
in the next few days. From here it
will be sent on to Calientes and from
there will be started across the desert
to commence grading at the point
where the well drilers are now at
work. To secure an immediate sup
ply OF water for this outfit, the we'll
drillers were ordered to sink wells as
quickly as possible.
Parties of from twenty to fifty men
are being shipped south from here
daily and are being put to work as
soon as they reach Calientes. Salt

CHAUTAUQUA'S BULLHEADS.
Tons OF Them Are Caught Through
the Ice Every Winter-OnIy
One Bait Used

A winter sport peculiar to Chautau-
qua lake so far as the waters of this
state are concerned is fishing through
the ice for bullheads.
The bullheads there do not hiber-
nate, as is the habit of their kind else
where, but are as lively and active in
winter as in summer. Chautauqua is
the only county in the state in whose
waters there are no pickerel, so the

tauqua lake come as if to compensate
for the absence there of pickerel fish
ing through the ice, which all the rest
OF the state enjoys, says the New York
Sun.
These bullheads present a notable
illustration of the influence of en-
vironment on fish species. They orig
inally came to the lake from the Erie
canal.
In the canal, into which the fish
entered from Lake Erie, none of the
bullheads ever grows to be of a weight
more than half a pound. In Chautau-
qua lake it is no uncommon thing for
descendants Of the original stock to
weigh four pounds.
There are large bullheads in other
inland waters of the state, notably in
York lake. Sullivan county, where they

WILL MARK A NEW ERA.
The Allotment of Lands to Choctaw
, and ChickAsaw Indians
Indian Territory.

Ten million acres of farming land
are to be divided among Indians in
the Choctaw and. Chickasaw nations
beginning on the 1st day of February,
1903. On this date the United States
viii open government land office
IN Atoka T., and each man, wom-
an. and child in the two nations will
receive 800 acres of average allot-
able lands, reports the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
In addition to the 100000 to be
given to the Indians, the United
states will sell to white people more
than 100000 acres of farming and
grazing land In the Choctaw nation.
When an Indian receives a patent to
his land he will be allowed to sell
one-fourth of it in one year, one
fourth in three years and the re-
mainden jim five years.
For 35 long and weary years the
Indians have had control of the lands
and they would not permit the white
man to own one foot of it, but now
that the land is to be divided among
the Indians and the surplus sold to
whites and the right to sell his or
her holdings given to each Indian,
the white man has the golden oppor-
tunity of the age to get good home
cheap.
This is the last new country in the
great west, and it is good news to the
thousands of farmers and stockmen
In the old states who have the west
ern fever and a strong desire to come
west and make their fortunes.
The Indians will not work, but
they will have to support themselves.
so their first thought will be:
''Where may 1 find white man to
whom can sell part of my land? 1
have more than | want and more
than [ can possibly handle, so I will
sell and get money to buy food,
clothing and cattle and send my
children to school,"
The climate in this country is mild
and healthful, and the land produces
great crops of corn, cotton, wheat,
potatoes, cabbage, hay and fruits of
all kinds. The greatest soft coal
fields in the world are in the Choc-
taw nation, and these mines are all
~ SoAN.
the next three years, beginning about
next fall. There are IL railroads
in the territory, and others coming
soon.
The town lots in the nation are be-
ing sold every month by the govern
ment of the United States and the
Choctaw nation. and titles to prop
erty issued. At last that point in
our history has been reached where
the white man can get title.
The members of the Chictaw tribe
of Indians will be the most wealthy
people in the world after their coal
mines, town lots, surplus farming
land, and their allotments are sold
and the money paid out to them by
the United States. 1t is estimated
that each man, woman and child will
get something like $4,000, in addi-
ton to his homestead.
The real Indians are fast disap-
pearing, half-breeds are increasing,
and the chances are that this is soon
to be the white mans country in
name and fact.
