CANAAN DIPTHERIA SCARE
Reports are Greatly Magnified- But One Case in the ViIIage-No Spread Anticipated

One Case in the Village-No spread
 Anticipated.
 The reports that have gone out from Canaan during the past few days rela- tive to diphtheria and the closing of the schools have been much magnified and the facts greatly distorted. The exact situation is that in the village there is one child i'll with diphtheria, Miss Lura Ferguson. The attack is mild one, she is is doing nicely and her complete re covery at an early date is anticipated. No other children are i'll with the disease or anything resembling it. Neither Health Officer Lee nor any other of the local physicians believe that, under the circumstances surrounding the Ferguson girls attack, there is any great danger of the disease becoming epidemic but as an extreme precaution, Dr. Lee thought it wise to close the school and the pupils in the grade with the sick girl have been placed under quarantine to a certain ex tent, i. e., they have been requsted not to mingle with the public for period of two weeks and the request is being we'll observed. In addition to the above pre- caution, anti-toxine has been admin istered to large number of children and previous to the opening of school, the room in which the Ferguson child was a student will be throughly famigated. Dr. Lee has done his work throughly thns far and in order to be on the safe side has taken vigourous precautions

Old Tin Can
Former Los Angeles Policeman
StuMbles on Papers Which
Lead to Discovery Of
Fabulously Rich
Gold Mine

When G. w. Roach, formerly men,
ber of the Los Angeles police depart
ment. stumbled onto baking powder
can near Barstow several months ago
he little realized that the key to what
promises to be fabulously rich mine
was before him, but such it proved
to be.
Within the can was another can,
and within the second can was a de-
scription of Ferdinand Egbert's lost
mine. The location was given and
full details of it's discovery confronted
Mr.. Roach.
This was three months ago, although
Egbert has been dead for ten years.
Today the Barstow Mining and Mill
ing company is a reality.
c. w. Roach, president of the Bar"
stow Mining and Milling company,
has just returned from their mines at
Barstow, Cal, and reports that the
waters of the Mojave river are so high
that it is impossible to cross with a
team, and it will not be low enough to
cross for about five days yet, at which
time the company will place at work
on the Nettie mines two shifts of ex-
pert miners and development will be
carried on as fast as possible day and
night. Mr.. Roach also reports that
all work done to date is standing fine
without timbers. and the main tunnel
is in good order and will not have to
be timbered at the main incline, as
was at first expected.
During the trip to the mines Mr..
Roach secured four more good claims
which he says are fine prospects but
will not be worked until the present
mine is producing and paying divi-
dends. Therefore it will not be neces-
sary to sell any more stock than has
been placed on the market, and that
will be sold in few days.
The ore is milling proposition pure
and simple, and although carrying
trace of silver, there are no minerals
present except gold that will pay for
the trouble in getting them to market.

TROOPS TO PHILIPPINES.
Strong Belief There's Double object
Something Under Surface.

Washington, Jan. 9.-There is a
strong belief that the government of
the United States has double object
in view I'm ordering re-inforcements
for the troops in the Philippines. The
officials, usually silent as to reasons
for orders startling in their nature,
apparently were willing that the i'm
preston should go abroad that the
sending of the First and Second In
fantries and two batteries of artillery
to the Philippines was necessitated by
the prospect of trouble in China,
1t case of another Chinese outbreak
more troops than are at present in
the Philippines would he needed, but
the real truth of the matter is that
the government Is desirous Of having
additional soldiers in the island pos
session In case of trouble nearer Ma
nila than in Pekin.
No layman knows just what the
specific fear is In the Philippines, but
that there has been disquiet in GER
tain Washington departments over
happenings in the islands has been
more than suspected for some time.
All the interest and the discomfort is
not confined to the savage tribes, who
would make war under any provoca-
tion and no provocation, or to the
clique of "independence-at-once" ma
tives who confne their demonstra-
tions principally to vocal outpourings.
There is something under the surface
in the Philippines, and it may be that
before long that something will make
itself manifest to the eyes Of others
than the officials.
