ISTHMIAN ENTERPRISE
 A MOUNTAIN OF GOAL
An Arizona Corporation to be Formed
 for it's Exploitation.

Frederick A. Chubb of Bocas del Toro, Panama and Athol, Mass, and Robert Burton of Chicago, arrived here yesterday ard will be at the Hotel Adams for a few days. Their mission here is the organizing of a corporation for the exploitation of what just new appears to be about the biggest pri vate enterprise on earth. It is one that will require considerable capital though the amount needed is a mere trifle iu comparison with the returns that are bound to follow if only a tenth part of what is reasonably expected to mater ialjze shall eventually be demonstra ed. Less than a year ago MT. Chubb dis covered the first coal that has been found in the republic of Panama or anywhere along the isthmus, and found it in quantities that almost make the head swim to think about, the more when it's location and accessibility is considered. It is the exploitation of these coal fields and other resources of the same section that prompts the incorporation of the company.
 MT. Chubb who was seen. at the hotel last night is native of Massachusetts. still claiming Athol as his home. The outbreak of the Spanish American war found him in Ohio and he enlisted as q private in an Ohio regiment, serving in Cuba and later in the Philippines and China. After the war he secured position with the government on the isthmus, as acting yardmaster at Gold Hill on the Culebra cut. He was thus employed for about six months, when last April he received word of the death of his grandmother, Mrs. Harriet Chubh in AthoI. She was a very elderly and well known woman being the last oS the living daughters of the revolution. in the state of Massachusetts, and one of very few in the whole country.

is more proud of than another il is bis revolutionary ancestry and ha says it was the happiest thought of his grandmother's old age that her father had participated in the struggle fer the liberty of the colonies. She was a near relative of the late Senator George r. HOar. She provided Hbcraly in hes will for Mr Chubb, which made II nee esasry for him to return home and ho at once gave up his job with the gov l ernment and went to Colon. Transpor- tation was then irregular and there i was no knowledge of any steamer l leaving that port for the states for sometime to come so he set cut on foot 1 for Bocas Del Toro 145 miles up the | coast. TEe journey took him about A
 week during which time he lived cu | bananas, pineappIes and cocoanuts. But ! he was well repaid for his streruoVS < | expedition.
 About midway up the coast, or ahoU' l ninety miles from the canal zone while 1 travelling along the coast, he discovered ! a long ledge of black formation which ] cropped many feet in width in places | for a distance of ten miles along tho water front. In some places tho water 1 lapped the so-called rock and in others l it was back a little further. He cx !
 was there and found other croppingy. i Flo was alone, except for the natives 1 in tue country to whom he said nOth ling but kept his hopes to himself | However he was certain of his fird.
 He knew it was coaliand brought aloE z ! ali the samples he could carry. SinSG | coming to the states he has had them | tested and has been told that it is a ! soft coal of more than usually good l quality being almost equal to the Penn | sylvania anthracite. The natives who saw him gathering his samples asked
 him why he was carrying the black
 rock along but he answered thcu 1 evasively When he got to Bocas ncl
 Toro he immediately wired to this; 1 country for funds and took the neces-
 sary steps for acquiring title to a track 1 ten miles vide along the ocean front and extending twenty-seven
 miles inland. The country back from
 the coast is densely wooded being a | jungle of black walnut, mahogany, | ebony. red cedar and white veneerinS
 wood. There is millions of dollars worth of these valuable woods on the | property to which his title is now per | fected. Ire extent of his coal field ana | the other possible resources of his 1 holding are yet undetermined for the | country mas never been pfOSpecteu 70
 any extent by those having in miuL | the things that ambitious Americans
 are looking for. He only knows that he followed his coal veins of immense
 width. for a distance of ten miles and saw spread out before him more cOa
 than he could imagine anybody would | ever be able to burn up.
 He spent about three weeks there
 getting his titles in order then sailed for home. Having attended to his ar- fairs in Massachusetts he went 10 1 Washington and told the story of his | find to Theodore P Shonts, chairman

of the canal commission, thinking he could dispose of the property to the government. MT. Shonts told him the government did not care to engage in the coal business so he decided to eX- ploit the property himself for it goes without saying that the government will necessarily be his best customer. Immediately he met a number of sena tors he knew and told them of his en- terprise. Realizing the value of the operations on the canal as a coal mar ket MT. Chubb next procee ded to ac- quire the right of way for a railroad from his property to the canal zone, matter that has been finally consum- mated. These operations al took con siderable money but fortunately he had ample funds at his command, and has now interested with him MT. Robert Burton of Chicago, an old friend who
 is his partner in the exploitation of the property and who is here with him for the purpose of incorporating com pany.
 Concerning the market for the coal, the canal is naturally the chief eXpec- tation at the present time but the com pletion of it will be an enlargement of his market rather than decfease, for then there will be constant demand lOI IL rum passing oAAA ES e'iAo 'NA~S A0- the maintainance of a coaling station somewhere in that vicinity. The de mand will grow as trade and com merce grows.
 But even this is not all. MT. Chubb says that there are also gold and silver in some quantities and he has seen assays of eighty dollar gold ore that came from his holdings, though the country has never been prospected systematically.
 Regarding the country itself MT. Chubb is also enthused. He says the climate is better than that of Califor- mia, back from the seaCoast and in the foothills it is delightful.
 He thought only of selling the prop erty or it's product to the government when he first acquired it but by the time he had placed it before the gov ernment it had begun to grown on him and he was rathe~ glad when he was turned down for circumstances have made it possible for him to handle the enterprise himself or at least with the help of his friends, Speaking of the government officials on the isthmus, however, he said he wanted to cm- phasize his regard for MT. Shonts, who he believes is the proper man to have charge of things. He also considers Chief Engineer Stevens a man of the highest ability

 Victims
Steps Should he Taken at Once to Pre-
 vert Further Trouble.

Here in Phoenix as in other cities and towns dyspepsia or stomach trou- bIes are ensnaring victims in most insidious way. Nearly every mothers son of us and daughter. too, expects the stomach to accustom itself to all manner of nl-treatment, but the time comes when we cannot abuse it with impunity How much better it would be to take steps at once to strengthen the stomach and prevent further trou- ble.
 Use Mi-o-na now and soothe the ir- ritated walls of the stomach and strengthen the gastric folIicles so that they will pour out their daily supply of digestive materials with regularity. Then the headaches, sleeplessness, specks before the eyes, poor appetite. tired feelings and nervousness will dis appear and you can eat what you want at any time you like.
 Mi-o-na is a combination of reme- dies, some of which are but little known in this country, and is a posi- tive guaranteed cure for all diseases of the stomach excepting cancer.
 Just one little tablet out of a 50 cent box before meals. for a few days, and you will soon regain perfect health and strength, and have no fear of in digestion or stomach troubles Ask H. Goodman to show you the guaran- tee under which he sells this remedy.

AssAILS THE PRESIDENT.
Senator Bailey says Roosevelt Lacks
Courage.

In one of the bitterest attacks that
has been made upon the president dur.
ing the debate on the railroad rate
bill, Senator Bailey charged that the
executive had surrendered his position
advocating IAN effective measure" and
had abanoned his demands for tariff
revision. The Texas senator charged
that the presidents arraignment of
trusts had been made after his cleo
ton, and that before that time he had
been as silent as the grave" on the
subject of regulating the railroads.
The senator closed with this state
merit:
But let us have no more talk in the
senate and talk in the country about
this iron man. He is clay, and very
common clay at that"
The speech was in reply to Senator
Carter, who had blended the president
against criticisms, saying that no one
could charge him with cowardice. In
the courage Of his remarks Senator
Carter referred to the democratic party
as a party of negation and nothing
more. He declared that the party had
been frightened into a chill at the
prospect of action. He charged that
neither Senators Bailey nor Rayner
had done anything to secure effective
railroad legislation.
When Senator Bailey gained the
floor he charged that the Montana SEN
ator's ebullition was due to the fact
that he had not been mentioned by
Senator Rayner in his speech as one
OF the presidents special ambassadors.
