And Buying Property On Both Sides of
 the Divide

While at Fairbanks recently John w. Duncan bought No. 8 Little Minook. It was the property of Carr & McGraw.
 Mir. Duncan has not yet decided whether or not he will work the prop erty the coming winter. It is very probable, however, that it will go over and be opened up next year as a strictly summer proposition.
 Joe Kaminski, E. B. Power and Max Neville have sold to Otto kreuhle all of Omega creek from No. s to No. 12, in- elusive
 It is claimed by some that Mr. Kreuhle was acting for Frank Manley, while others say he bought for himself.
 The consideration has not been made public, but is said to have been in the neighborhood of $3O,OOO all told. It is good ground.
 It is confirmed that M. s. Gill has bought c. l. Jordan's interest in Seattle Bar.
 Jerry Ford returned today from a visit of week across the divide. He says d deal has been completed whereby Jerome Chute has bought out Egan Bros, Olson X Anderson and Bob Mason on Thanksgiving. The price paid is s65,0OO.

QU|CKSTEP
Prospectors Find Coal In Great Quantity
 On Island

Nome, Aug. 10.-Samples of coal taken from Nelson island were received in Nome this morning on the Gussie Brown.
 The coal was found by the party who left here on the steamer Quickstep to prospect in the Kuskokwim. When the prospectors landed on the island they found the natives burning coal. They gave native $10 to show them where it was found. They went to the place, about two miles from the beach, and staked 16O acres
 The vein was about foot wide on the surface. A shaft was sunk to depth of eight feet and in that distance the vein had widened to nearly seven feet. There are immense outcroppings of coal lying all over the surface of the hill through which the ledge trends, some of the pieces weighing from 700 to 800 pounds. Four or five ships could be laden with coal without sticking pick in the ground.
 Elmer Sofe, the boilermaker who went to Nelson island on the Gussie Brown to repair the boilers on that vessel, says he made a test of the coal and found that for blacksmithing purposes it is equal to the best coal mined in the east.

HOST HE
Natives Build a Fort and Prepare to
 Fight

Papers from Nome and Council tell of an impending war between the natives of Boring sea and those along the Yukon river.
 The trouble arose out of the killing of Yukon Indian by coast native hun- ter last year. The Indian, it was claim ed, was mistaken for moose and shot by Selayik native. The coast natives learned that heavy force from the Yukon was marching against them, and at once armed and prepared for resist ance.
 Dispatches inf the Nome Nugget said Eskimo camps to the number of hum dreds were to be seen Aug. along the mountain to the east of Chinik. At the foot of the eastern slope of the hill nu- merous camps of the enemy were to be seen.
 The various native camps along the river between Council and Golovin were depopulated.
 A dispatch in the Gold Digger dated Chinik, Aug. 9, said the long-expected battle had not yet taken place, and most of the white people were begin ming to think that the local Eskimos became unduly excited over nothing. But the natives seemed to think differ- ently and were still maintaining guard night and day. They said that the bat tie would take place in few days and were building stone fortress. The na- tive who caused the trouble had skipped for parts unknown. This account says he killed the Indian intentionally, but did it in self defense.
 There are about forty natives here at present, says the think dispatch, "and they say that they have sighted the enemy on many occasions. They also state that they are expecting rein forecments from the Sclawik river, to which tribe the man who caused all the trouble belongs. The Selawiks and the Yukons have had feud of many years standing. At one time the Sclawiks were attacked by their enemies from the big stream, but they ambushed them and wiped out the invading band. The natives of the kohuk are also bitter en- omies of the Yukoners, and it is though, that they might bc drawn into the con. tlict"

ry-Breihan.

Henry Breihan was born in the
town Of Ellenboro, Grant county,
June 30, 1867.
He was the youngest son of Con-
rad and Bette Breihan. Jan. 25,
1899, he was united in marriage
with Miss Annie j. Taylor and to-
gether they began life on the farm
where he was born with the bright
est prospects and hopes, and these
were being fully realized until
about five months before his death
when blood poison set in and slowly
he sank until May %, 1906, when
he departed this life leaving to
mourn their loss a beloved wife and
daughter Elizabeth, who came to
brighten their home July Il, 1904,
an aged father, three brothers and
two sisters all of whom, except
Conrad who lives at FairmOnt, Okla
boma and had visited him a few
weeks before, were present at the
last sad rites which were held at
the home in Ellenboro, and at the
Congregational church-Lancaster,
Sunday p. M, May ~, 1906, and
the remains were laid to rest in
Hillside.
The large assembly despite the
unfavorable day betokened the es-
TEEN IN which he was held by all
who knew him.
CARD OF THANKS

our sincere thanks to all those who
so kindly assisted during che illness
and death Of our beloved father,
Henry Breihan.

This Is rrue.

A prominent farmer sized up the
advertising Of necessities pretty
thoroughly in an interview the
other day, as follows:
Il have been soaked a good many
times since I started in business for
myself, and ( note that it has
always been in the article that
wasn't advertised. I started iuto
the getting soaked business by buy
ing a lightning rod per foot and
settling for it per inch.
That purchase was followed up
by the purchase of a patent gate
that wasn't advertised. 1t was sold
to me on such close margin, the
agent said, that the firm couldn't
afford to advertise it.
I've bought everything from
hedge fences to encyclopedias that
wasn't advertised, and if there's a
piece of unadvertised furniture on
this place that is any account I've
not fallen over it. I have got so
that when the agent calls on me
with something I don't understand
/ ask him where it is advertised. If
he can't show me anything but a
pocketful Of hapdbills I call the
dogs.
I don't believe that an advertise
ment will make a good article out OF
bad one, but am alfred certain
that it is not going to spoil a good
thing. II fellow can't notify me
in advance through some paper that
he has winner he can't do business
with me-"

Chas. E. Tufley for County Clerk.

c. E. Tuf1ey, the present clerk of
Grant county, will undoubtedly
succeed himself this fall. 1t is the
general belief where he is well
known, that he will have no OPPOSE
ton neither at the primaries in
September nor the November cleo
ton. Mr.. Tufdey is now serving
his first term of office. He was
elected two years ago by big ma
jority and his friends at that time
expressed much confidence in his
ability to perform the duties of
county clerk. His services have
pleased the people to the extent
that he will IN all probability be
reelected without opposition.
Should someone else announce
himself for the office, however, Mr..
Tufhey's reelection is almost a GER
tainty. The time has arrived when
politics is not considered when the
name of man like Chas. Tufdey
appears on a ticket. The people
want efficient county officers, men
who are courteous, painstaking and
practical in a business way. Such
a man is Chas. Tuffey and hence
opposition is doubtful.

Robart-Kickapoo all Right.

Copied from the Linden cor
respondence, Montfort Mail of May
25tb, 1906 "Quite a number Of the
people Of Linden are enjoying the
benefits of snug fortunes won by
them by a little effort in the Ro-
bart Kickapoo mines. And many
are the comfortable houses built
here with the revenue from this old
and never-failing property. Stock
Is now on the market, to install
modern machinery and do away
with the old hand method, which
was slow but more or less remun-
erative. Under the new regime it
will line up with the best producers
anywhere. The home people are
alive to the situation and are buy
ing large blocks Of the stock. They
intend it shall continue to do great
til lgs for Linden"

Snuff-taking is common habit
among certain classes of the London
poor. 1t shows its effects in rambling
speech, pallid aspect and detected de-
meanor, resembling the symptoms Of

will have their hair decorated with
curl papers which contain each the

In a Corn Field.

The corn has much to say!
1t tells with a gay delight
The gossip of golden day,
The dream of the tender night.
The sunny slopes run sweet
To the edge of the woodland shadows,
Where the idle, laughing streams repeat
The talk of the happy meadows.
But the trees that lean above
Have deeper thoughts to measure;
They whisper of home and love,
Anu hold their own lifes treasure;
They breathe in the sun-f1llsr space;
Rooted in calm they stand,
Granting the birds a nesting place,
Blessing the quiet land.
And the hills their secrets hold,
Where the brooding clouds hang over;
There the soft winds unfold
Glad thoughts that few discover.
o whispering corn, be still!
My heart is vainly trying
To hear, through all your russFsng thrill
The deep tones underlying.
All, sweet escaping song!
Mine ears can ne'er compel t.
But the little flower I bring a4Bhs
Smiles up, and tries to tell W
