One of the most interesting young
men is Mr. Charles H. Brooks, now of
Philadelphia, Pa. He is interesting in
many ways, whether we view him as
a Southerner who has come up to the
North and fought successful fight
in intellectual pursuits, and this view
of him is essentially comparative, or
he be regarded as a purely positive
proposition he is equally engaging.

nation of the people of Paducah, and
especially of the school officials, and
in an unusually short space OF time
he became the principal of the entire
colored school system of his native
city. After thirteen years service as
an educator he sought and found the
larger opportunity for personal ad-
yancement and mental growth in q
clerkship in one of the Government
departments in Washington, and using
it as a fulcrum, he perfected himself
for his life's work by a thorough
course in bookkeeping at the Spen-
cerian Business College in this city,
and still further broadened himself by
availing himself of the facilities af-

LOCATING
Points Often Neglect
 ed In Stalking

A location of a placer claim should be carefully made. The law of May TO, rs77, is very strict upon this point. Spe- cislly should proper attention be paid to the following regulation in sec. 2324:
 "The location must be distinctly marked ou the ground SO that it's bound- aries can be readily traced. All records of mining claims hereafter made shall contain the name or names Of the loca- tors, the date Of the location. and such a description of the claim or claims lo- csted by reference to some natural ob- Jeet or permanent monument as will identify the claim"
 The law does not provide for any paI- tieulSr kind or size of stakes, and the manner of locating placer claim by a location line, designating certain dis tance out on both sides of this location line, is not founded on any regulations iu the mining laws. The regulation for locating a lode claim has In some way given the general public this curious idea as to the shape and size and man ner Of "staklng" placer claim.
 A placer claim, if located on surveyed land, must conform as nearly as possi- ble with the legal subdivision; that is, quarter section of i6o acres may be subdivided in rectangular plots, aud Q location may cover a certain plot in such manner subdivided. A location by a single party of a placer claim 6ooxISoo Is in itself unlawful as 1t contains au area in excess of 20 acres. The law strictly requires that no single location made by a single individual must cover more than 20 acres.
 The locator must set the corners of his claim. Good. solid stones set firmly in the ground are preferable to stakes or trees.
 On unsurveyed land 1t 10 practically impossible for the locator to comply with the regulation in the law demand ing a location in conformity with the system of surveys of public land.
 A claim 66oxI5aO Is au ideal form for a placer claim. It covers the exact area of 20 acres, and in shape, fl not In geo. graphical position, 1t conforms with the legal subdivision of tbs public land sur.

should also if possible, be mentioned in Q location notice.
 Several persons may combine and jointly stake a lrger claim, the area not 10 exceed 20 acres for each party inter ested iu such lochtion. Not more than eigh, persons can stake jointly. how- ever, as in no case a placer claim under |. single location must exceed I6o acres.
 The obligation to perform the annual assessment work of froo for each year applies to each year beginning on the rst Of January succeeding the location of the claim.
 The general land office issued a eireu- lar on Nov. 20. fs77. instrue,ing the surveyors general and all deputies that the provisions of the law quoted in the frs, part of this article must be strictly complied with, and that a deputy must decline to make survey for patent ii be at his arrival upon the ground finds that the location has not been marked on the ground.
 Any miners rule in conflict with this absolute provision 10 the law cannot ex- uuse any defects in the location.
 The miners ln the Porcupine district decided that two stakes would "hold" a claim. The law says tbat it does not. As a consequence 1t ia difficult to find one valid location in that district.

as on Friday morning by 9 o'clock 2s dog toams and six horses had started. and by noon of the same day the num- Der had increased to t6 dog teams aud l4 horses, making a total of over TOO men who left ia one day.
 George c. Belt, who came out lately and left Cinema on the 24th of Febru- arY. and his partner have been inter ssted iu the district for the past two years. He went there for the first time himself last September, going out to Rampant early iu the winter and TO- turning again in January. He says that there Is every reason to believe that the pay Is very rich and extensive. There have been but few holes sunk In the pay belt as yet, but wherever they have been the bedrock gravel yields from s to so cents a pau. Jack Costa is said to have refused $50, 900 for his claim, but Mir. Belt does not believe it 10 be near as good a claim as McCartY's. From the first hole which the last sunk he got TO cents to the pan. He sank five holes, the pans from each growing better and the last hole showed better pay than any of them. These holes demonstrate Iso feet of very rich pay, aud there Is DO telling how mueh further the streak will run. There is every reasou to be- lieve that there is a very extensive range ct good pay ground. Already demonstrations show more pay than iu sight at Rampant. There Is good req son Co believe that the pups carry good pay and that the district will make a big camp like Nome and Dawson.
 The district Is located on the edge Of mountain range. There are no high peaks. The country is hllly but not rough. There are broad table lands and big bottoms. It is similar to the country about Dawson. The Panama valley has broad areas Of good wild hay lands and oil kinds Of vegetables will grow politically in the country. There Is plenty of game aud the lakes, creeks and rivers abound with trout and grey ling.
 The stampeders from Circle arc act ing literally in giving prospecting lays on their claims. They have, of course, taken moro than they can manage without help.
 The Valdez route will some day be the best way to the district in the win ter season. But lt will be several years hence, as there is much work to be done on the trail. It will always be a very poor summer route, as compared with the river way down the Yukon and up the Panama, until the railroad has been built from Valdez into the country.
 There is a shortage Of grub in the district and there is nothing much to do in there until the opening of navlga- tion, except to stake claims and pros pect, and those who go for this purpose should not fail to take their own pro- visions.
 The Yukon Sun estimates the num- Der of stampeders that have left from Dawson up to March at HOO and a great many more are getting ready to follow in their trail. The stampede is stimulating business m Dawson and loosening up a great deal of mo"ey that has been withdrawn from the banks. Representatives of the different bank ing houses at Dawson have left for Tan ana Co gather information with a view to establishing branches of their several institutions at Panama.

Baxter 6. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York November 13.-Cotton open ed higher with bull sentiment showing no abatement. Higher cables were at hand and the days port receipts were showing up anything but heavy. In fact there was a comparative tame showing after the deludge of receipts for some weeks. Bears were on the run in Liverpool when we opened. The magnitude of the rise has surprised even the friends of cot ton. The probabilities are that we shall soon hear of quite small receipts as re- suit of fast marketing. The present level of prices has been an irresistible induce- ment for rushing to market and 1t may appear that receipts from now on will be quite tame. Wall street Is taking greater interest in cotton as evidence accumu- lates of a supply not ample for needs. Prices climbed up without much opposi- ton after the opening and good rise was soon established, despite bearish Texas reports as to improved crop con- ditions. The main point, however, was the fact that the port receipts would most likely not exceed 56000 against 7O,OO0 last year. This made shorts nervous at times but new buying pretty prominent in taking all offerings on signs of weakness now and then. The New York stock is 43,0O0. Tho drniaht fieures for the week were 573,00O against 44S,0OC' ihs.t year.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The local cotton situation is rather in- teresting just now. Prices continue to go up and the town is well filled with the staple. Yesterday a further rise was registered with the result that good mid ding stood at 10& at the close of bus mess. Birmingham dealers are kept busy now since the season is in full swing.
 Stocks and bonds were very quiet yes terday. At the close only one change was noted American Trust and Savings bank stock showed a decline
 Staple groceries were all unchanged with the exception of leaf lard, which rose lse and is now quoted at S15c per pound. All other lines are steady.
 Nothing new happened along Morris avenue yesterday. The status of trade was practically the same. Plenty of tur- keys are now to be had at prices rang ing from 12hc for live fowls to 15 to 1Sc for the dressed. Dealers were not finding many ready buyers at these figures.
 The fruit situation continues unaltered. The market is well supplied with all sta- pie varieties.
 Straight produce lines were all un- changed at the close of business. All stocks were fairly plentiful. with an av- craze volume of trade.

cothran a Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, November R-Cotton con tnues to advance in a way sufplsing to it's most sanguine friends, recording another rise today of about 20 points on contracts, with spots quoted up 3-16. Many veteran traders have sold short time and time again with the reaction theory in view, but were compelled to cover at loss. Information of bearish kind has no effect whatsoever, as, while prices momentarily pause, renewed buying comes into the market and the upward movement goes on. The real strength of the situation, in our opinion, is that real izing Is freely indulged in from time to time, and on all easy periods renewed buying from this class of traders sweeps everything before them. English cables today say that Mr Ellison will re-arrange his consumption estimate and say that with present or higher prices maintain ed he must reduce his previous figures some 300, 900 to 500000 bales, which opinion he is expected to embody in circular to be used very shortly. Exporters claim to have no orders. The insight for the week Is heavy. The reduction of wages at Fall River is expected to be follow ed by cuts in operating expenses at oth- CT mill points. All these features were thoroughly circulated today but were of as little effect in stemming the bullish tenor as the proverbial old woman and her broom against the tide. It is, of course, strictly possible that there will be a big decline some fine day. but not while spot cotton Is sought so eagerly. Naturally violent fluctuations will be more the rule than the exception, and 1t will be foolhardy to trade in such market without plenty of protection on one's commitments, as the level of price alone is sufficient to suggest caution Much higher prices are possible, as a price must be found that will bring require ments down to a supply basis.
