NO GOLD THERE.
Government Assayer Reports on
the Wichita Mountains.

Guthrie. Okla. Dec 30.-U. S. Attor-
ney Speed. of this city, has received a
letter from Secretary Hitchcock, an
nouncing that Government Assayer
Balm. under the direction of the in
terior department, had examined the
Wichita mountains, which have been
doomed during the. last six months as
gold-bearing country, and had found
that none of the, assays showed ore
in the proper sense of the word and
that the region has no present or pro-
spect1ve value as mineral producer
AS result of this finding, many
thousands of dollars which had been
invested in the fields by capitalists all
ovel e United States will be lost, the
1900 miners who are in the mountains.
and most OF whom are co2teSting the
entries of the homesteaders and trying
to establish mineral rights, must move
the homeSteaders will receive their
final proofs. and Lawton. which was
becoming a mining city, and Kiowa and
as a mineral country.
Bain's report may not be accepted as
conclusive by some. but it will at
least stop the selling of stock and the
further development of the region for
few years.
From time immemoriaI there has
been tradition that gold existed in
the Wichita mountains, and there has
been more or less prospecting there
since the original opening of Okla
homa, and even before. With the OPEN
ing of the Kiowa, Apache and Co
manche and Wichita reservat tions a few
years ago, which made it possible for
prosDectors to secure title in case they
found ore, there was great boom in
the mountains Hundreds of miners
and others focked there and began to
honeycomb the hills in search of gold.
Many claimed to have found it, and
stories of strikes ranging in value
from $50 to $3.50 and even $500 a ton
were rife Many believed them, although
there has never, at any time, been any
evidence that there was gold in paying
or even appreciates quantities in the
region. Companies of huge capitaliza-
ton We're organized by the score and
stock sold wherever credulous investors
could be found. One company shipped
car of ore to Denver and a report was
circulated later that it had yielded a
most satisfactory and profitable quanti-
ty of gold.
Lawton, the ''iaetropolis" of the
Wichita mountains, came to be a great
mining center, with assay offices
thicker than grocery stores, and doing
a bigger business.
In the meantime, homesteaders had
taken up most of the country for farm
ing or grazing purposes and were clam
oring for title to their land which they
could not get if it were found to con-
tain mineral in paying quantities as
the land would then be subject to entry
under the mining laws. The interior
department, to decide the question of
titles, sent government expert to in
vesttgate the stories that there is gold
there. He has reported, and the farmers
seem now in fair way to get the land.

DENIED BY MAYOR.
Report That McCOllum VIII
Give Way to Stahl.

Mayor Bergundthal today emphati-
cally declared that he knew nothing
concerning the current report that
Chief of Police A. E. McCollum is sla-
ted to go January 4.
The rumor that McCollum will file his
resignation instead of a bond at the
first council meeting is gaining IN
csedence, and local politicians who
have an inside view of the situation
confirm it. The fact that Frank NJ.
Stahl, former chief of police, is now
residing in Topeka for no particular or
visible reason, strengthens the belief
that he will take MeCollunl's place in
a few days.
When asked about the rumor today
Mayor Bergundthal said: Il know
nothing whatever about it. I have no
intentions of making a change and no
one has said anything to me about Nc
Collum resigning.'

are complete, all ready to belt up
and 80 to work. The rolls and shaft

slightly corrugated to make them
feed properly, but not enough to
grind the grain fine, as is the case
with most corrugated rolls. The
spring contact on rolls is very cas-
lily adjusted. They have an adjust
able hopper feed and absolute force
feed over the rolls. We make them
in a number of different styles, suit

capacity of from ten tons to fifty

FOUR TANK LAUNCH WILL
BRING IN MOLOKAI FISH
Forty-Foot Boat is Being Built for Mr.. Gilbert
to Make Daily Runs Between MoIokai
and Honolulu.

Within a month Honolulu will re-
ceive fresh fish every morning from
the banks about the island of Molokaf.
and these will be disposed of in
special stall at the fish market. F. D.
Walker began yesterday the building
of a gasoline tank launch for Mr. Gill
bert, who has been engaged in fishing
off Waianae, and recently made a trial
of the fishing banks off Molokai where
the catches have proved the existence
of plentiful supply.
1t is Mr.. Gilbert's intention to equip
the new launch with gasoline 40 horse
power motor The launch under its
own power will make daily trips be-
tween Honolulu and Molokai, and into
its tanks the daily catch made from
Mr.. Gilbert's present gasoline launch
Success will be stored. The new
launch Will have sufficient speed to
enable the craft to leave the Molokai
Honolulu by daylight The tanks will
then be emptied and the fish placed
Immediately upon the stall counter at
the fish market in time for the earliest
morning purchasers.
The keel of the launch was laid yes
terday at Walkers boat works. The
launch will be 40 feet over all. and will
have a 40 h. p. engine. She will be
schooner rugged and will carry two
Marston sails.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-09-17

Four tanks, each with a capacity OF
200 gallons, will be built into the boat
These will be separate so that each can
be filed or emptied independent of the
others. Each tank will be fitted with
valves connected with the engine so
that the water in the tanks can be
kept clear at all times thus insuring
the fish therein being brought to Ho-
nolulu in a fresh condition.
Mr. Gilbert has made a couple of
shipments of fish from Molokai by
steamer, but this method of transport
tation is unsatisfactory.

WHOSE FAULT Is 1T?
The world is full of disease an

The world is full of disease and
main. Whose fault is it? Every
body's; therefore often the fault
of the sufferers themselves. But
the pressing question is,-what to
do, how to relieve, how to cure.
What would become of us il
means were not found to DESTROY
disease? Why, then, of course,
disease would destroy us and the
world would be depopulated. IN
til we learn how to prevent dis
ease, we must be thankful for the
means of a6atinq and curing it
after it has seized upon US, and
stands, like savage with uplifted
axe, ready to take our lives. Es-
pecially do we need some sure
and speedy form of treatment
for those complaints which are
universal,-which arise in every
country and climate. We allude
to such ailments as Nervous and
General Debility, Hysteria, Scro-
fula, Chronic Diarrhea, Asthma,
Throat and Lung Complaints,
Blood Impurities, and the ills of
