mad. nearly all OF the locations and
amended locations lately have been
made on tungsten. OF purported tung-
sten lands, about is miles southeast of
Osceola. This is in the vicinity OF o.
A. Turner and E. L. Fletcher's tung-

favorable that the residents of Osceola
determined to step out of their back
yards and pick up some tungsten
Not a great deal has been said of
the tungsten properties over there. but
Messrs. Turner and Fletcher have been
going quietly along about their bust
ness making a mine. The develop
ment which has been made has stirred
the owners to the putting In of i'm

IS DES MONIES
RIVER NAVIGADLE
Time is Drawing Near for the An.
nouncement Of the Y. S. En-
sineer Corps as to
Navigability
EVERY ONE INTERESTED
statistics Being Complied BY a. 6
Miller Thought to be Of suf-
ficient Weight to Con-
vince Engineers.

People along the les MONIES river,
ever since the survey made several
months ago by Major M. Meigs and
party in the Hornet, have been deeply
interested in the movement on foot
for making the river again navigable.
From the city of Des Moines to the
mouth of the stream, three miles he
low Kenknk. every one along its course
/ is wondering whether or no the stream
will be again the scene of steamboat
/ ing and river traffic as in the old
days.
AS the time draws near when the
decision If the United States corps
of engineers will be announced re-
| garding the survey of the Des Moinees
river to determine whether it is navi-
gable, considerable interest in the
project and it's success is being mani
tested by the business men along its
course. Old residents of the Des
Moines valley will remember the days
when large steamers piled between
Des Moines and St. Louis and other
Mississippi river points are practic-
ally one in the opinion that the Des
Moines river is still as navigable as 1t
was from 1887 to 1862.
There seems to be little doubt that
the statistics and river history now
being compiled by A. c. Miller, mem
Der Of the national waterways, drain
age and conservation commission, will
be OF sufficient weight to induce the
United tSates engineers to see the i'm
portance Of making survey OF the
river, and il the survey is made. that
the present conditions OF the stream
will warrant its improvement to be
made navigable.
