DREDCES MAKE MONEY
 ON SOLOkAON RIVER

That their cleanups have been satisfactory is demonstrated not alone in the fact that they kept working, but also in the fact that efforts have been made to secure more ground on the same stream.
 'The Silverten and Wilson dredges, two small machines, have done excellently. It is true that they have not washed as much gravel, but the running ex. penses have been lighter. It is common report here that Silvert- sen took out sufficient money this summer to purchase an additional 12 claims on the river.
 ''The steam shovel operated by Webb & Williams has also done considerable work, but, as in other cases, it is impossible to se- cure any definite figures on the product. Your correspondent talked with one of the principals in this firm the other day, and was informed that a fair margin of profit had been made on the seasons operations.
 Among the new propositions is a plan to place two big dredges and two smaller ones on the up- per reaches of the stream. The current in these places presents somewhat of a difficulty, but it is one that can easily be overcome by the use of additional "dead men," All things considered, the people here look for a most in dustrious season next year"

ARCTIC BRETHREN
 HAVE H|-YU TIME

Two "cheechacos from below" were initiated into the Arctic Brotherhood last Monday even, ing, and from the amount of noise and laughter to be heard in the vicinity of the lodge room the candidates certainly got all that was coming to them. The meeting was one of the largest ever held by Camp Gibbon, and now that the members and off cers are becoming we'll ac- quainted with the initiation work, the weekly gatherings are hugely enjoyed, and lodge night is looked forward to impatiently by the brethren. Several appli- cations for membership are now being considered by the camp, and there's plenty of fun ahead for the entire winter. .-=..::-.
 Judging from the progress the local camp is making, it will, al though the ''baby" member of the sisterhood of lodges forming the order, soon be one of the best equipped and strongest.

SEC0ND-CLASS MAIL
 MADE GOOD TIME

Fifteen sacks of second class mail for Tanana, Rampant and Hot Springs arrived at the post office from the Outside via. St. Michael last Friday afternoon, being the last consignment for warded by that route this fall. Newspapers from the Mississippi valley as late as Oct. 13 were re. ceived = which is considered very good time for the early winter season,

TO RESCUE MANY . ''WHITE SLAVES"

Denver, Oct. 26. Before the Civil war a negro girl of good physique would bring from $500 to $1 200, when sold on the block, but today in Chicago and in every other big city in the land you can buy a white girl for 50 cents" ." So declared the Rev. Melvin E.. Trotter, founder of the Grand Rapids Rescue Mission, who de- livered lectures at Central Pres byterian church yesterday after noon and Central Christian. church last night.
 "The white slave traffic." de- clared the speaker, is the great est menace of our modern life. Girls getting off the trains in large cities are met at the depots by agents of an organization which has branches in all parts of the world for the propagation of the white slave trade. Drive them from one city and they go to another. I knew an instance of a minister's daughter who at- tended our mission and prayed with us, meanwhile coaxing away young members of the mission to a life of shame. The mission is the refuge of the poor, degraded and downtrodden who need a boost in life. We clothe and feed their bodies and rescue their souls."
 Trotter raised $2,8OO at the two services for the Sunshine Mission in Denver. He has esta blished 21 rescue missions in the United States. and he is about to organ ize five more.

The Solomon correspondent of the Nome Nugget, under date of October 16, says:
 Mining operations on Solo, mon river during the past sum- mer have proven beyond contro- vefsy that the dredge is the ma chine that pays the dividends, and so convinced of this fact are a number of claim owners on the rlver that they are making ar engagements for the installation of number of additional dredges.
 "The dry weather which has prevailed during the past two years has demonstrated conclu- sively that the ditching schemes are not success. Too much de. pendence must be placed upon the elements. Not one of the companies owning water systems of mining have made dollar this summer, and it is safe to say that some of them are heavy losers. They have had to keep up their ditches and hold them in readi- ness for rain that never came.
 "The five dredges working on the river, however, have kept digging away, and while it is i'm possible to get definite figures of the amount of gold taken out, it is known for a positive fact that every lone of them has made large profit.
 "The Three Friends dredge has turned over an average of nearly 5000 cubic yards every 24 hours, and the Pearson dredge, on the adjoining ground, has treated about the same amount.

THE EUREKA ALPHABET

those days pending his journey to New
York, and as the train bore him swiftly
toward the metropolis he added new
domes and minarets to that splendid
collection of fragile edifices.
Tom took out his wallet and laughed
as he counted its cOntents-six hundred
and ten dollars. 1t was all the money
he had in the world, but it was enough.
He was well satisfied with his shrewd-
ness in leading BriscOm &, Storey to
believe in his affluence. He had even
threatened to call off all negotiations
and proceed to put 800, 600, or some such
absurd amount, Of his own money in
a stamp mill and in the further devel-
opment Of the mine.
Thomas Baldwin, Denver, Colo, "
was the inscription which appeared on
the register of one of New YOrk's great
hotels on May 10. He was in no hurry
to call on BriscOm & Storey. 1t was
well to give them to understand that
a little matter like 100000 did not ex-
cite him, and besides, the fair Florence
was far more interesting.
Tom chartered an automobile and
from it entered her studio. Their happy
greeting over, he carried her away in
triumph, and INDUCED in preliminary
inspection of the parks and show places
of the great city. Tom lay back in the
tOnneau, the dearest girl in all the
world by his side, the purTing Of the
huge machine and her sweet accents
music in his ears, the glories of a ra-
RANT May day adding to his bliss
the world had surrendered at his first
blow.
Florence, dearestr' he exclaimed, his
strong hand imprisoning hers, isn't il
glorious to live-and to lover
Many time in the days that fol-
lowed he thought OF that afternoon s
ride with Florence. and his feelings as
he reviewed all the incidents-well, they
were mingled feelings, in which the
price paid for the use Of that autOmo-
bile vulgarly insisted on intruding.
Tom presented himself at the Office of
Briscom e, Storey the next forenoon, and
after waiting half an hour was admit
ted to Mr.. Briscom's private room. That
gentleman looked the young miner over
critically, noted his Clear-cut face, the
fashionable mold OF his clothes, the IN
abashed look in his eyes, and was sat
isfied that their new customer was a
man who was fully capable Of protect
ing his interests. therefore he greeted
him as a business equal and treated him
as such.
We received London cable yester-
day. Mr.. Baldwin" said the head Of the
firm. searching for and finding the yell

but you know how deliberate these Eng
ishmen are"
1T does not matter in the least"
promptly said Tom Baldwin, the shade
of disappointment vanishing when he
thought Of two whole weeks to spend
with Florence. mot I'm the least, Mr..
BriscOm, 1 assure you. I have important
matters TO attend TO in New York which
will keep me busy all Of that time"
Glad TO hear that" responded Mr.
BrisCOm. In the meantime make this
Office your own. I'll have cards sent to
your hotel giving you the privileges Of
some of my clubs, and you will dine
with me at the Union tomorrow night"
The two weeks glided past like an ex-
tended and happy dream, and with it
glided nearly $500 of Toms money. This
had gone for delightful but rather ex-
pensive dinners with Florence, visits to
the theatres, a jaunt to Atlantic City
flowers, bonbons and other expenses, in
Guiding his hotel account
And Florence was to return to Denver
on the day when the Englishman was
due IN New York. Tom still had a mar
gin sufficient for all probable contingen-
cies. but at the same time-though he

told her so a thousand times, and begged
her to remain and go back with him
still, at the same time, there was no
doubt that the proper entertainment Of
Florence could not he continued long
on $780, and il there was any further
hitch with the Englishman it might be-
cOme-weH, Tom had to admit that il
might become embarrassing. So he per
mitted Florence to make arran gements
for the journey to Denver, and recon-
pensed himself by declaring TO her that
this was the last time they would be
separated. Then ne called at the Office
Of BrisCOm & Storey.
Mr.. Hudson, accredited representative
Of the AnglO-American Mining Invest
ment company, had arrived, and was in
the Office. Before a word was spoken
something told Tom Baldwin that there
were reefs ahead Of his enterprise, It
was not long before he heard the thun-
der OF the surf, and knew that his min
ing bark was In danger.
Mr.. Baldwin" slowly said the repre-
sentative Of the great London house, ''as
you doubtless know. our firm proceeds
in all matters of this nature with eau
tious conservatism. The favorable re-
port on your mine returned by the ex-
pert employed by Mr.. Briscom has duly
been considered. but we find, on care
ful investigation, that he has been in
error in his estimate Of properties show
ing equally favorable surface fndlca-
tons. For this and other reasons in
line with our established policy. we
deem it best to obtain the report OF an
other authority and we can proceed no
further until we have had an examina-
ton OF the Little Uncompahgre' made
by Mr. Robert MunsOn Slower. II his
report substantiates that OF the one nov

in interesting investors seemed bent on
tantallzing Baldwin by dangling capt.
tai before his eyes, only to flip it out of
reach when he gTaSDed for it.
His parents were dead, and the set
ting of his fathers estate left the boy
with a few thousand dollars and a the
OretiCal knowledge of mining acquired
in an Illinois technical school. Baldwin
had no wealthy relatives and no in
fuential mentor, but he had youth
strength, good looks, ambition and dar-
ing-a little too much Of the latter, per-
haps. He went to Denver, obtained a
foothOld there, and then tempted fate
by falling wildly in love with Florence
Reeves. The TeCklessness of this in
fatuatiOn is manifested when it is told
that the paternaI Reeves was a well-to-
do banker, and by the further fact that
the son and heir OF q smelter magnate
was paying desperate court 10 this
charming daughter of Colorado.
To the surprise of Denver social cir
cles, the dismay of the banker and his
wife and to the sorrow and chagrin of
the young millionaire sutton, Tom Bald

The parents OF this fair young lady
eagerly humOred her within to study

ing half the width of a continent be

which increased in length, frequency

he wrote a triumphant one, which in

and in it he declared his undying love,

to name the day-all in one letter in

OF course, Florence did not grant all

that the wedding should be celebrated

opened and closed the fight at Chicka-
manga, and later at West Point, Miss,
with an inferior force, he signally de-
feated the army commanded by General
William Sooy Smith. Many Of the men
serving under Forrest in this campaign
were raw 1evies, never having been I'M
der fire before. To check desertiOn he
condemned twenty deserters to death,
had their graves dug, gallOWs built and
the men standing alongside their COT
fins with the ropes dangling above them.
Then he reprieved them on their pledge
never to desert again and never to flee
in battle.
Fort Pillow Massacre.
For what was known generally as the
Fort Pillow massacre Forrest got the
reputation throughout the north of be-
ing a fend incarnate. The fort, which
was commanded by white and negro SOL
diers, was carried by assault after For
rests demand for its surrender had been
rejected. That there was unwarranted
killing of the men who were fleeing
from the fort in an effort to reach a
gunboat there is no doubt. Forrest in
his report said the river was red with
the blood OF the dead. In explanation
of the wholesale slaughter it has been
alleged in Forests behalf that liquor
had been served TO the negro and white
soldiers by the commandant of the fort,
and that when the Confederates carried
the works many Of the negroes were
in a drunken frenzy. They continued
fighting regardless Of orders from their
superiors.
Probably a portion of each statement
is true. PROFESSIONALLY Forrest had
the blood lust and unquestiOnably his
followers were wild for revenge on the
negroes who opposed them so stubborn
~ at Fort Pillow. At any rate. Forrest
was held responsible for the slaughter
What lent color to the belief throughout
the north that he was savage with
little OF no regard for the rules Of civil
lied war was the fact that when he de-
manded the surrender of an Opposing
force he usually coupled with ii the an
nOuncement that there would be no
quarter if the demand was refused and
he had to sacrifice men to bring the
other side to terms.
The pursuit Of Streight, the prominent
part he played in the battle of Chicka-
manga, the Fort Pillow massacre, the
defeat of William Sooy Smith and the
ceaseless activity Of Forests brigade
led Sherman to offer a major generals
commission to any Of his brigadiers who
would kill Forrest or cripple his force.
Sherman officially declared that If it
cost 10000 lives Forrest had to be
crushed.
