heeter'S Novel Fleet
 On Its Maiden Run

S. E. Heeter's fleet of three scows, securely dashed together, with the one bearing the novel pro- polling apparatus occupying posi- ton at the rear, started oil its initial trip to the hayfields in the vicinity of Fort Hamlin yesterday evening at 5 o'clock. Attached to the rear scow was wheel similar to those of river steamers, but horses, by means of a treadmill arrangement, supplied the power, instead of the steam engines utilized by ordinary river craft. It is said the only drawback i'll maneuvering the new fleet is the fact tha, no provision has been made for reversing the motion of the wheel-forward is the only movement the fleet is capable of assuming.
 MT. and Mrs. Heeter, Ed Biedel- man, Frank Hammond, Dave Rush. ing, E. Becker, s. A. Cutting and w. w. Crockett embarked on the unique voyage. A wagon, moving machine, hayrake and other ct cetera suggestive of life on farm were included in the cargo.
 A quarter of mile above the Indian village a stop of two hours was made for supper. Mrs. Heeter and Dave Rushing acted as cooks.
 The party then proceeded to Chi cago creek and tied up for the night, where some hay is to be cut and one scow is to be dropped, to be picked up on the return trip. IT. the meantime some meadows opposite Chicago creek will be in spected today, and if hay is found of satisfactory quality and sufficient quantity they will remain there in- stead of going on to Hamlin. The small meadow at the mouth of Chicago rreek is covered with grass from four to six feet high, and is as pretty picture of waving green as one could wish to see

When Wingate Went
 With WiCkersham

From the Alaska Forum, August 5. 1905
 A jolly party left town last Sun, day morning on sightseeing trip to Hunter creek. The hydraulic operations of Y Hunter creek being the objective point. The following gentlemen composed the party: Judge Wickersham, Capt. D. H. Jarvis, C. NJ. Idleman, Harry Winde. G. A. Ketterer, C. E. Clay pool, s. M. Graf, J. B. Wingate, E. R. Brady and H. l.. Hedger.
 The start was made at ? o'clock, and at 2:3o the scene of operations on Hunter creek was reached, and after good dinner served by Chef Swanson on 20 Hunter, to which all did ample justice, several hours were put in watching the results effected by tue giant as it hurled masses of water against the banks of gravel, which melted of like snow under tropical sun. Messrs. Ott, Swanson and Stoel, the lay men, and L.aM. Davis, the owner of the ground, were all most atten- tive, and the statement that the first hydraulic plant in operation in the American Yukon was a com plete success was endorsed by all present.
 A. H. Monroe, who has big hydraulic plant on Hoosier creek, was experimenting the placing of the hydraulic piping, and after the water had been turned on he took several photos of the party, in one of which Judge Wickersham can be seen guiding the nczzle of the giant and washing down great banks of pravel with as much ease as when, under far different circumstances. he cleaned Nome of corruption and judicial jobbery with the giant of determination and right. At 9:3o D. m. the party arrived at Rampant, tired and muddy. and some with torn clothing, but all satisfied with {, d,v ,peIt snent

DECISION FAv0RS
 ORIGINAL LOCATOR
Case Bearing on What It Takes to Constitute a
 Discovery.

Following upon the decision by Judge Wickersham that discovery is essential to valid title to a mining claim, the outcome of the case of F. R. Mclean ct al. vs. A. J. Sturtevant is of interest, as going to show what will be accepted as constituting a discovery.
 The Fairbanks News says from tue decision it is evident the judge will favor the original locator 50 long as he can show that be Is acting in good faith to make dis covery."
 The case involved was II below discovery, Esther creek. No II was staked by Sturtevant March 25, and he made his record within the time allowed by the statute. An association claim, which included all of No. II, was staked about April 4 following. and the record made according to law and within the time. Therefore, the court held, there was left the single question of discovery.
 SturtevalIt and three witnesses testified that they had banned gold from the muck on the bank of Esther creek, on No. II. and that the gold so found was in such quantity, and was found under such circumstances as to induce them to go on and prospect the claim; and that the claim was so situated with relation to other claims in that inn mediate vicinity that it is probable it is valuable for gold, notwith- standing their discovery or want of it.
 It appeared very improbable that gold had been found at the place aud under the circumstances as stated: but it was sworn to, and not disproved, and so the court found in favor of Sturtevant. who claimed to have made the discovery.

Washington. Nov. d7,-In his consid- eration of the whole general question of the relations between America and Venezuela with special reference to the presentation of claims of American cit izens against the Government of Ven ezuela. which were not adjusted by the Venezuelan arbitration tribunal, Secre- tary Root has reached the Critchfield claim and today he devoted several hours to the subject.
 Today George Washington Critchfield, the original promoter. R. S. Rokeby, President of the United States and Ven- ezuelan Company, and R. Floyd Clarke, attorney for" the corporation. appeared at the State Department and explained to Secretary Root at great length the details of the case.
 From their narrative it appears that several years ago when Castro was dictator of Venezuela, 'Critchf1eld pur- chased an asphalt mine in the interior It was necessary in order to market the asphalt that a tramway be con structed to the coast. Critchfield se- cured from Castro formal permission for the construction of this tramway. and also the right to export the asphalt free of any export duty.

 While MolesWorth Is put seventh in the list, he has played so many more games than any of tho players prcced- ing him that he is easily the leader. In 12e games he has 1i0 hits. sixty ,Sey- nine stolen bases and an average or .312. While his batting Is probably the
 most consistent of any player in the Southern League, he did not hit as well this year as In 1904. when he had 1s0 hits In 119 games.
 Charlie Schwartz showed decided improvement in his batting during the season just closed over 1904. Last summer he got '14S hits in 129 games. He had eight more hits than Moles- worth, but was forty three times at bat more than the outhelder whose peculiar position at bat makes him the hardest man in the League to pitch to. bring ing Schwartz's average down II points lower than Molesworth's. In 1904 Schwartz had 133 hits out of 128 games and an average of .279, and his great improvement, can be seen at Q glance.

The exposure of the eyes of football enthusiasts in Alabama is the great Birmingham Between bSea 'hs the Va sieyens of the m Auburn and the University Of Alabama. Certainly no game between these two colleges has equalled this contest in the expectant interest that has preceded the clash --

New President of Georgetown Again
 Condemns the Game

Washington. Nov. 17.-At recep- ton given in his honor by the society of the alumni of the Georgetown Uni yersfty last night Rev. David Hillhouse BueI, the new president of the universi- tv. Reiterated his statements condemn ing brutality in football and the preVa- fence of Professionalism in many of the best known institutions of learning In the country.
 President Buel, who was introduced by Justice White. of the Supreme Court of inc limited States, said that 1t is un- fortunate that the public too often judges of the strength of college by it's strength in the line of athletics and that he wished to state his position re- sarding the new regulations now in force at Georgetown. He depiored the practice of employing men to uphold the standing of any college in sport. nnrification of athletics was setting an example before the schools of the whole country.
