When the drainage campaign was
first launched Sgd. Carter of Gaines
vile was opposed to the measure.
Later on during the campaign he was
elected member of the legislature
from Alachua county and at once an
nounced that he would be a candidate
for the speakership of the House
Some time after this he "fopped" on
the drainage question and since that
time little has been heard about his
desire to WELD the gavel in the next
House. Mr.. Garter is very able man
and would make an admirable speaker
and 1t is hard to see where an honest
change of mind on a great public ques-
ton could affect his usefulness in this
position If the advocates of drainage
control the next House Mr.. Carter will
doubtless receive their support TneI

and has never been known to turn the
other cheek. He is true as steel to
his friends, and simply because he adj

the governor is right in some other

The Palatka Times-Herald, in a re-
cent issue, says: IF reports are to be
believed West Florida will not be
lacking in the number OF its guberna-
tOrial candidates in 1905" 1t is true
two citizens in this part of the state
have been prominently discussed by
the press for this position but it is
hardly probable that more than one
will be in the race. 1t is West Flor

Sparkman's Handicap.
The Tallahassee Sun takes the posi-
ton. in regard to Sparkman's probable
candidacy for the United States Sen
ate, that as the Congressman is now
the ranking member on the rivers and
harbOrs committee of the House, land
in case of a democratic victory would
be the chairman Fof this important
committee,) that he owes it to the
people of Florida to remain in his
present position and not force the
state to be deprived of representation
on this most important committee
The Sun thinks that Sparkman is due
this much to the people of Florida for
the favOrs they have conferred on him
in the past.
That this question will prove a
handicap to the Tampa statesman if
he should decide. to contest for NAL
lory's seat in the senate there is little
doubt. If he were to defeat Mallory
Florida would loose two members from
the most important committee in the
national Legislature so far as this
state is concerned, for Senator NAL

mittee in the senate.

In an open square, where the dust pail
forbade sight or breath, directed my
steps toward the source OF throhbing
roll that ceaselessly wove itself in with
the noise of voices and the pattering Of
unshod feet of beasts. As 1 neared il
the noise became detached from the
hubbub, distinct and individual thing,
which insistently claimed attention and
made the very notes in the air dance
to time. Under q willow tree by the
water ditch that defined the square sat
a bent old man, unbelievahly ragged.
So torn were his many khalatS that
they did not seem like constructed gar

THERE WILL
BE BIG RUSH
When the Walker River Res
ervation is Thrown Open to
Prospectors

The next rush that Nevada will see
in the way of mines viii be toward the
Indian reservation along Walker lake
and river. This particular piece OF
ground is looked up as rich in mineral
bearing ores as from time to time the
Indians and white p%rospectors have
brought in rich specimens from that
district. Many a white man has care
fully entered the ground and in a secret
way has prospected to his satisfaction.
Most Of such prospectors have left
hurriedly, as the Indians have kept the
reservation patrolled, and the white
brother has not been welcome, but
with the prospect Of opening Of the
denied ground many are camping close
on the trail and the secrets of the big
district will be given to the world be-
fore the summer has closed,
Probably one reason that the ground
has the greatest %enchantment is the
fact that the white man is told that he
cannot go there. To the average man
this is a challenge and this has led to
many exaggerations of the wealth of
the district. 1t is possible, and more
than likely, that a score of great mines
will be uncovered in the reservation,
but there will not be the riches for all,
as the section is like all others, the
mineral lays in belts and the fortunate
will find the pay rock.
From the inquiries and calculations it
is believed that at least 5000 will rush
over the territory in a short time. They
are coming from every section, as let
tiers to agents show; of the thousands
that tramp the hills, many will not find
what they want and will go to the other
districts that offer chances.
Such men as Schwab, Clark, Della
mar and Heinze are taking monied
interests in Nevada properties, and
they are not on the ground for then
health. They have made millions fol
themselves and are helping every sec,
ton of the state, as they call attention
by their investments. Southern New.
ada, has proven its quality, says the
Carson Appeal, and the West is in line
for the millions that are under thu
grass roots.

What Fitz-Mac Says.

On his return from a flying trip to

mineral fields in all Nevada-but
bless your heart, all Nevada is one
great mineral 6eld--th very greatest
on earth, acre for acre. OF course
some spots are more richly mineralized
than others bat it is all mineralized.
And let me tell you that every sec
ton of the state is booming. | have
never seer so general a boom in any
mining state since | have lived in the
west. The reason Nevada has not
doomed before in the last quarter of
a century is because it had lost its
mining population. 1t is a childish
blunder to suppose that capital is
the first thing necessary to mining
activity. the very first thing that a
mining state needs is a mining popu-
l%ation, and Nevada lost her foremost
position as a mining state simply
because her mining population de-
serted her almost en- masse-quit,
discouraged and disguised - when

ensued that resulted in a lot of broken
heads and the destruction of some of
