II. j. Foster arrived home last We'd
nesday from brief visit with his son,
in Hill City, Kansas. He also visited
the popular and thriving little city of
Nicodemus, Kansas. where he was very
favorably impressed with the surround
ings. Among the business men of this
place are FL. S. Henrie, Series Bros, T..
III. Green and many others who are
making progress in their different
branches. Mr.. Foster speaks very high
ly of his treatment at the hands of
these generous people. When Mr.. Fos-
ter leaned that he was about to be
booked for a speech his business at
Denver became quite urgent and he
expressed to them his regret that his
time was too limited to remain and give
them an address. We are sorry that
they did not have the opportunity of
hearing Mr.. Fosters eloquence, but
he has promised them hearing on Aug
1st Emancipation Day. We would
like to hear him expound on the plat
form and would suggest that he volun-
tarily fill date at the Alliance.

FREEMAN MINING CO,

The visit of Mr.. H. D. Earl,
President of the Freeman Mining,
Milling & Development company
to this city last week brings to
mind the remarkable possibilities
of a Negro corporation at our very
doors. This gentleman was in
Denver explaining and telling in
general of the workings of the
mining company which he repre-
sents.
The Freeman Mining company,
is exclusively a Negro organiza-
ton which has force of men
steadily developing some rich
mining property near Goldfeld,
Nevada. Some extremely rich ore
and in great quantities has been
struck on this property and ar
rangements are being made to
ship ore yet this year. The fact
that mining men on the scene pre-
dict that this company will be a
dividend payer before 1907 ex-
pires is the strongest recommen-
dation of the value of Freeman
stock. White investors have clam
ored to buy stock from this COM
pany in blocks of $4,000 and 10O,-
600 but have been courteously re-
fused the privilege in order that
the colored investor might place
his dollars where profit can be
made.
Another year may bring this
company to light as another Mo-
hank under black management
and the way Freeman stock has
drawn the interest of Denverites
shows that they propose to share
in the dividends.

ELKS TROUBLE IN KY.

Frankfort, KY, April 4.-The
numerous side of the fight to pre-
vent the Negroes from using the
name "Elks" for a fraternal organ
ization developed today, when Sec
retary of State McChesney received
a letter from an alleged Negro Elk
of Paris, Ky, protesting against
any other Negroes using the word
"Elks." The word came from
William freeman, who says he is
the Kentucky District Deputy of
the improved Order of Elks, whose
grand charter was granted by the
state of Ohio.
The Ohio Grand Order has des-
ignated Freeman as its agent in
Kentucky, upon whom process
may be served, the law requiring
such agent to be named or the cor
poration will be fined for doing
business in this state. This de-
velopment seems to shift to the
real Elks of Ohio the task of test
ing in the courts the right of any
fraternal organization to use the
word "Elks' in its name The
matter has been brought to the at
tention of Grand Exalted Ruler
Melvin, who will doubtless, take
steps at once to have the Courts
pass on the question.
