Oldest Land Office Abolished

HUNTSVILLE. Ala. Farch 6.-The
oldest land Office in the United States
passed out OF existence today when
the Huntsville Office was abolished
and it's business transferred to the land
Office at Montgomery. The office here
was established in 1910, nine years be-
fore the admission of Alabama to the
union. During the ninety-foGr years
of its existence there were nearly 3d.
900 homestead entries. appropriating
5000. 200 acres besides many thousand
cash purchases of Cherokee Indian
school lands. There are only about
$4,000 acres yet to be entered. The dis
continuance of the Office is due to that
provision of the federal statutes which
stipulates that when the government
lands in land district amount to less
than 100000 acres the office shall be
discontinued. There now remain in the
entire state of Alabama about $4,000
acres of government land. 100000 acres
of which are In the Montgomery di-
vision.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN NEWS
Thousands of Pounds Of Freight
Hauled in Over Snow

The Thunder Mountain News of
February IS says: Al kreps and AL
Wood arrived in town Tuesday night
with the automatic tramway grips and
hangers for the great Sunnyside mill.
They stopped over night in town and
with the assistance of the good people
of the district, celebrated ST. Nalen-
tines day in good shape. Wednesday
morning bright and early, they pulled
their freight for the mine, about four
miles from town.
Mr.. Kreps brought in sixteen horses
and three sleighs loaded with five
thousand pounds of freight besides
feed, grub and camping outfit. This
was not only a sight that suggested
business, but was beautiful as well.
The sixteen big fat horses wearing
snowshoes walking on top Of the snow
pulling their heavy load with all ease,
exhibiting as much intelligence as any
sixteen men could. was the cynosure Of
all eyes. Mr.. Kreps returned Thursday
to the transfer after another load. By
the second load he thinks that the ore
crusher will be at the transfer Chat
is about seven or eight days. ready to
be brought in.
The Sunnyside company was so we'll
pleased with the result of the run.
made prior to the breakdown of the
tramway, that it has spared neither
pains nor expense to repair the work.
Superintendent Abbott thinks that the
tramway and mill will start up again
not later than the first of April.
The company has a mountain OF
milling ore in sight and as soon as it
can will proceed to reduce it. This
will give employment to probably one
hundred men. The company has good
mine and knows it. and is acting ac-
cordingly. 1t has no stock for sale
The company has two towns on its
works. Sunnyside at the mine and
Belleco at the mill. They are three
miles apart by wagon road. one and a
| half by the tramway.

upon Its precipitous course.
AT $50 the amount OF water coming
over the falls was estimated at two
thirds of what 1t was before the gates

Some were Of the opinion that there

slILNER. March 6.-At noon last
Thursday the Snake river below the
fam of the Twin Falls company was a
mere string of pools the stream having
1eea completely shut off by the closing
gsf the gates.
Two thousand people came here to
witness the event and hundreds Of
them were scattered along the stream
catching trout and white fish in the
;ysoois or looking for gold nuggets,
which some enthusiasts declared would
,oe revealed when the river bed should
nave been robbed of it's waters.
1t was Just $50 a. m. when the work
s.,f closing the gates began. and in so
minutes the last was down. A piece Of
plank got under one and it required
-ssyr,e time to remove this so the gate
could close closely.
Below the dam the water soon settled
.x,d the flood ran off. leaving only pools
s;Dehind. Above. the waters rose rapid
,2y for a short time. but as the higher
levels were reached the rise became
slower and slower. During the first
hour the waters rose five feet; during
/ The next hour the rise was two rect,
md the rate at which the water crept
IN the rocky barrier to it's progress was
afterward still less rapid.
So soon as the water had run Of be-
COW, the crowd scattered and sought
places where they could cross dry shod.
There were many pools. but 1t was a
yinnrle matter to walk over the bed OF
uhe stream dry shod almost anywhere
The departing water left many hsh
yuarooned in pools, ana these attracted
che attention Of the crowd with the re-
suit that many fine trout were secured
and a number of white fish.
Some searched along the bed OF the
stream for gold. an idea having gone
abroad that nuggets might be found
when the water should have been shut
off from the course it has followed for
$50 many centuries.
Among the visitors were all the ON
Gals of the Twin Falls Land & Water

been carried through. These were +.
