NOW PICKING G0LD'FR0M
GRASS ROOTS IN ALASKA
Nuggets Said to Be Plentiful on Pin
uIes Bench and Big Output Re-
ported from Nome

SEATTLE, Sept. 1S.-The 1nnoko
and Iditarod stampedes have been the
feature of the summer in Alaska gold
mining circles, but the KoyokUk dis
trict is also making an unusual
showing.
M. e. Beatty, who arrived from
Nome yesterday says there is much
activity on Wiseman, Nolan and other
creeks. He estimates the output at
$50O,0OO, which, according to popula-
ton, is $4,000 per man.
Many claims on Nolan creek are
showing up big pay, especially on
Pingles beach, where large nuggets
can be picked up in the grass roots,
but owing to lack of water little
could be done this season.

Ohas. Mitchell to Meet Taft.

On Monday of this week Pres.
Chas. Mitchell of the Citizens
National bank left for Cincin-
natti where he will join his faith
er and together they will visit
at the Taft home in that city.
Mr.. Mitchell's father and Pres
ident Taft's father were warm
personal friends and the Pres
ident himself was for years an
attorney for Mr.. Mitchell's faith
er so there is even more than a
passing acquaintance between
them. 1t is probably not saying
too much, to at least venture a
guess that Mr.. Mitchell will
look after some territorial poll
tics while there.

RIDE 1900 MILES
TO ATTEND COLLEGE

Fayetteville, Ark, Feb. s.
Mrs. Mary K. Wellman and her
daughter have accomplished a
ride on Orseback which makes
the 9O-mile ride required of the
army officers look small in COM
parison. They rode alone from
FL Paso, Texas, to Fayetteville,
Ark, a distance of 1900 miles,
and undertook the hard journey
for the sake of education. The
daughter is now in college and
doing we'll. Mrs. Wellman tells
the experience of her trip in the
following graphic words:
Necessity, and a desire to
keep our horses, which to us are
members of the family, COM
PEELED us to undertake the ride.
Our collie dog, Flossie, came
with us. Climate and educa-
tiOnal advantages attracted us to
Fayetteville, Ark. My daughter
Marguerite has been a rider for
years and is just IS. Almost
daily, in New Mexico, her rides
were from eight to II miles, but
| was no rider and avoided learn
ing, so l had reason to dread the
undertaking, especially at 53
years of age.
Our first days ride was 80
miles and from that on, except
in deep sand and until our horses
got sick in north Texas. we rode
from 20 to 30 miles a day.
When we left FL Paso, Texas, !
on horseback we had $3.50. Att
Pecos, Texas, we received money |
from my son, and after horse

shoeing and other expenses were
paid left there with 500 in poe
ket. Ten cents was all we had
when we reached McAlester, in
Oklahoma, and we were disap-
pointed in not finding money
awaiting us, so we left there
without a cent and were forced
to beg our way to Fort Smith,
Ark. There again was money
from my son. So much for the
financial side of the trip, and
that we got through safely and
with so little is due to the big
hearted, Christian spirit of the
western people.
We were 73 days on our
journey. Yes, we were armed
and twice had need of them,
but contrary to report it was
white tOughs who gave us trouble,
and we went to indians for pro-
lection.
I'VE travelled some scarey
country alone, not seeing a hui
man being or habitation from
half to whole day at time,
and | tell you we felt safer on
horseback than in a wagon. We
could run.
