The drawing for lands Monday and
Tuesday on the COeur d'Alene Indian
reservation was followed with Intense
interest in Colfax as well as all the towns
of Whitman county. The first drawings
up to about so were telegraphed here as
names were taken from envelopes, so it
became generally known who were the
lucky ones. Two Colfax people are
thought to have Jared well, John Sven.

many congratulations from friends, as
they are thought to have first class
chance to get good claims
Whitman county as whole Jared well
in the drawing, lucky numbers being
scattered all over the county. There is
not the remotest suspicion but what the
drawing was fair and every body il salts
fed. At this writing interest centers in
the other two drawings, particularly
that OF the Flathead reservation in Mon
tana, as it contains by far the largest
body Of agricultural land Of the three
reservations, and will provide many
homes for actual settlers.

strawberry season closed we could have
all we wanted for the picking, and those

Seattle, Wash, August 1.-THE no.
ticeable decline in American shipping is
once more attracting a great deal OF at
tentiOn in all parts OF the country and
serious consideration is being given to
steps for its rehabilitation.
Travel to the Alaska Yukon Pacific
Exposition is making new records almost
every day. Never have the railroads
brought so many people into the North
west All parts OF Washington, Oregon
and British Columbia are getting their
share Of the visitors. In July, 27S, ,525
passengers arrived and departed through
this number 144 .S18 were arrivals and
1872, ,707 departures, leaving 12,111 in
the city. These figures do not account
for the heavy water travel, all Sound

capacity loads on their trips. The Aug
ust record is expected to shatter July's
achievement.

ORE BODIES AT SOUTHLAND Magnificent ShoWings Have Been Made By the Big
 Companies But, Nevertheless the New District Not Yet Definitely
 Proven

Yesterday a gentleman perfectly acquainted with the mine develop ment work in the Courtland district since it was started talked interest ingly concerning the progress being made there.
 He stated that while the showing made at Courtland was a magnificent one he considered all the talk about it having been proven the equal of Bisbee or any of the already proven districts in the territory. as yet mere speculation.
 It is true" said he, that important bodies of copper ore of excellent grade have been developed. In my opinion the yalue of the ore located by the work done to the present time would approximate s2,009,000, but" said he. that is a mere bagatelle in comparison with what has been ex- tracted from the old proven district" !"
 The deepest shaft in the Courtland district is 360 feet and to that depth the showing has continued good and certainly there is not another district where no more work has been done giving greater premise for the future.
 The best proof of the confidence in the Courtland district held by mining men of renown for their ability, is the building of the railroad to Court land from Douglas. This line is ex- pected to be completed by July first and soon after that ore shipments may be expected to go forward from the new district to the smelters at Douglas. Both the Great Western and the c. & A. could begin regular shipments as soon as the railroad is ready to carry it.

NEW SOLD DISCOVERY
 IN YAvAPAI COUNTY Pay Streak Samples Over Fifty Dollars Ton-Entife Ledge Well in Yellow Metal

PRESCOTT, May 5.-News of a dis eovery that promises to develop into one of the gold producing mines of the Hassayampa district was brought here by John McCauley, who, with his partner. Walter Douglas, made the find two weeks ago. The paystreak averages eight inches in thickness and samples from $50 to s60 to the ton in gold.
 McCauley and Douglas have run a tunnel distance of 20 feet on the ledge. The formation is soft and easily mined.
 The ledge was apparently never discovered before. as no prospect holes have been found on any of the six claims of the group located by the discoverers after making the new find.
 McCauley and Douglas were at tracted to the ledge by finding hema- tite float which horned well in gold. The found the outcrop on one side of the porphyry dyke.
 McCauley is here purchasing sup plies. He and his partner will com mence taking out a carload of ore as soon as the supplies reach their camp.
 The discovery is located half mile west of the Green Mountain group of claims, owned by c. J. Me Nulty on Copper Creek, and mile west of the Catocin group.

IEL PASO TIN MINE TO BE OPERATED
New Company Said 10 Have Been Organized to Take
 Ii Over

FL PASO. May .5.-El Paso's tin mine on Mt. Franklin is to be opened up and worked very soon. Eastern parties. who have been negotiating for the property for some time, re gently sent their expert here and he reported to them that there was s200,- 900 worth of tin ore in sight In possession of this information tile eastern parties made an offer to the Fl Paso owners of the property, which was accepted
 It is understood that the terms called for a certain amount of cash and a certain amount of stock. A few days ago the eastern parties showed up with a charter obtained in some eastern state and discovered that they could not operate under it in Texas, so halt was called until an- other charter can be procured.
 As soon as the charter is procured and the company is thoroughly organ ized large force of men will be put to work opening up the mine and taking out the ore.
 The tin mine is located on Mt. Franklin just above Nundy's spring. aDOuI IpGTleSl HlleS HOTiH Ol the city. The owners of the property are c. R. Morehead. T. H. Conklin and the Charles Davis estate of Fl Paso: Lew Ely of Los Angeles and several other California parties.
 Mir. Morehead was called upon to confirm the reported deal and he said that no deal had been consummated, but that the company was organizing and getting in shape to do something with the property.
 Lamar Davis said that he could not tell anything just now because the matter was net in shape to discuss; that indeed there was nothing to dis cuss at present.
 Years ago experts examined the Mt Franklin mine and declared it one of the largest deposits of high grade tin ore in this country. And the Times has direct information that ac- tive preparations are being made to operate the mine on a large scale and that if development work justifies 1t 200 men will be put to work on the property.
