First Mine In Alaska.

In 1882 Russian dog mail on it's way from the interior to Sitka dis covered traces of gold on the Anauk. An old trading post on the Koskokwim the ruins of which are still to be seen was the headquarters of Russian trade in that district. The Anauk river was known then as the Yellow river and so appears today on the Russian maps For years this discovery was worked, but the Russians, never good pros- pectors at best, abandoned gold mining us soon as the deposits in tn, immedi- ate vicinity of the original discovery were worked out. Why the rich Hunker was abandoned will forever remain mystery It has been claimed that all along the Russian government had records of the vast gold deposits in the neighborhood of the Klondike and had that portion of the country been Russian aud not British, the United States would never have had the opportunity to purchase Alaska. But that must remain a speculation as Russian bureaucracy never gives up it's secrets. One thing alone is certain, that the gold deposits of both Yukon and Alaska were worked half a century be ore Skookum Jim made his famous discovery on the afternoon of August 16, 1896, and opened up new frontier kingdom for the troopers of the Lost Legion to conquer.

the people and it is quite probable
that he knows more people by
namein the county than any man
in it.
He is a member of the Baptist
Church and a Knight of Pythias.
Whenasked for historical sketch
Of his life, Mr.. Newton said that
he was born on farm four miles
south of Jackson and had lived in
the county all his life; that when
a child his mother died, and when
a lad of fourteen his father died
and left him to raise a family of
five children, ,and that he was proud
that today they were ali married
and making good, reputable eiti-
zens; that the first bale Of cotton
'he could call his own, above what
was needed to supply the family,
was used paying tuition in the S.
w. B. ~. That the first public
work he ever did was acting as a
book agent during vacation. Then
he taught school four years, and
how we'll he pleased both patrons
and students is evidenced by the
fact that when he ran for circuit
clerk in 1890 everywhere he had
taughfhe received an almost solid
vote. That he held the Office of
circuit clerk eight years and retir-
ed of his own volition.
Herwas the only circuit clerk in
the State who advertised in the
newspapers unclaimed cost due
witnesses and ofieees. After 60
ing out of Office he practiced law
for a year and built up a splendid
practice. His health would not
stand the confinement andhe went
into the newspaper business, in
which he has been engaged ever
since.
Mr.. Newton is one of the most
congenial socialmen in the county
and he is greeted by the name Of
JEFF by all classes of people.

His hearty hand grasp and pleas

gentleman of high honor and in

laurels he seeks both by nature
and endowment. To go to Con-
gress was the dream of his youth
the ambition Of early manhood
and the determination of his ma
turer years.
Should he be elected he will be
the first native born Madison
County boy to ever represent the
district in Congress, and that he
will get q splendid vote in old

many who know and realize his

itics and good government, and,
when issues presented themselves,
took sides with what he conscien-
tiously thought to be the right.
He is a friend that sticketh as
close as a brother, and when he es-
pouses the cause of a friend, uses
his full influence for his success.
This is proven by the great num-
Der of people he has helped, both
in politics and business. Ifthere
is man in Madison Countrywide
loves mankind it ISL. D. Newton.
Since his coming to Jackson he
has helped scores of women and
men secure positions where they
could earn honest livings. While
he was circuit clerk he had many
calls to test the tenderness of his
heart towards his fellow man, and
his friends say that they never
called upon him for favor that
was not-granted if within his pow
er to do so.
Mr.. Newton has always taken an
interest in politics and he is rec
ognized as a man of ability and;an
orator Of sufficient power and force
as to be able to take care of him
self on the stump or in the legisla-
tive halls.
He was the elector for the Eighth
Congressional District in 1904 and
stumped the district in joint de-
bate with his Republican and Pop
ulist opponents. He made many
friends during the canvass all over
the district. He was mem Der of
the committee on platforms at the
last Democratic State convention,
and introduced the labor plank
which was adopted. Healso offer
ed a resolution to reenact the Rice
Ligon bill. This was defeated.
Mr.. Newton is at present the ed
itor of the Jackson Dispatch and
onthereportorial staff Of the Wing.
He has kept in close touch with

earnestfriends; she knows she can
not, dare not, will not allow that
friendship to be broken"
The authorities at Washington
are little nervous, it-seems, and
the commercial jingoes are ready
to throw a fit, but there is nothing
existing to produce any feeling ex-
cept the talk of the newspapers.
The general government had nc
business attempting to meddle in
the State school matters of Cali
fornia and is not responsible for
how the State manages in sch ools.
Nobody understands this better
than the Japanese themselves.
If the general government could
say that California should admit
the japanese to her public schools,
it could say that the Southern
States shall admit to their schools
negroes on equal footing with the
whites. Such a policy as this, Of
course, would put an end to the
rights of the States altogether.

TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

All the talk about war between
the United States and Japan over
the San, Francisco school matter
lookslike tempest in q teapot. "
To begin with, Japan is in no mood
to seek war at present. The awful
cost and the terrific sacrifices of
life in the war with Russia has had
a tendency to make the Japanese
sober, thoughtful and humble to a
degree that is considered remark
able by the American missionaries
in the Orient.
The Right Reverend Sidney G.
Partridge, missionary bishop of
Kioto, Japan, says Gin spite of all
ideas and reports to the contrary,
there has been no evidence in Ja-
pan itself of Objectionable national
arrogance and pride on account of
the victory over Russia" Again
he esays: ''Thecountry has opened
itself as never before to foreigners
of every name, and the people have
outdonethemselves in information
