NORTHWEST LOOKS
FOR MINERS RUSH
When the Mineral Lands of
Spokane Indian Reserva-
ton Is Opened.
(Amcrican News Service)

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 2S.-Veteran
prospectors predict that the most i'm
portant miners rush in the history of
the northwest will follow the passage
of bill at this session of congress
opening to entry the mineral lands of
the Spokane Indian reservation, north
east of this city. United States Sena-
tor Wesley L. Jones of Washington,
who introduced the bill. advises the
Spokane chamber of commerce, that
its adoption now seems assured.
More than 25 syndicates have been
formed in Spokane in anticipation of
the passage of the bill, and, as soon as
it becomes n law by the signature of
President Taft, several hundred pros
pectors will be rushed into the district
to stake claims.
Enormous deposits of silver, copper
and tungsten have been traced across
the boundaries of the reserve. part of
which was opened to homesteaders
last spring. and at one time develop
ment work was under way on 20
claims when the prospectors were
elected by agents in the employ of
the United States government.
Senator Jones bill provides that
from and after the passage of this act
any lands of the Spokane Indian re-
servation. classified and reserved as
timber lands under any act of con
gress heretofore passed. shall be open
TO exploration. location, occupation
and purchase under the mining laws

L. X. Armstrong of Spokane. secre.
tary of the Western Conservation as.
sociation. who interested Senator
Jones in the new measure, declares
that the timber and mineral provi
sions were purposely left out of the
original act opening the reservation
adding that. while the responsibility
has not been fixed, he believes it was
brought about by some one friendly to
the Indian bureau.

FOUND GOLD NUGGET
IN TURKEY GULLE7
Peculiar Discovery Made by
Rufus Newman, a Frank
lin Township Farmer.

In the sullet of an old turkey COB
bier, which Rufus Newman, a farmer
of Franklin township, killed for his
Christmas dinner, was found small
nugget of pure gold. 1t is believed
that the turkey picked up the precious
metal on the Newman farm, through
which runs a small creek. The dis
covery has caused quite little in
terest in the community and caused
the farmers to look for other nuggets,
but no other finds have been reported.
Newman, before the thanksgiving
season. had been raising turkeys for
the market, but finding that it was
not very profitable. he sold all but a
few of the larger birds. These were
given full liberty on the farm and
wandered over many acres OF ground
Christmas morning one of the old
gobblers was captured and killed. AS
it was being dressed for the table a
shining object was found in the gull
let The foreign substance was re-
moved and believed to be gold, but t6
make certain it was sent to a chemis'
at indianapolis, who pronounced il
pure metal.
Finding of gold in Wayne county ii
not considered an unusual event b.

MRS. ELAN TO OCCUPY
NEW STORE IN BLOCK.
10 Leave the Store LOnQ
Occupied.

After a continuous @cupancy of fif-
ty years, Mrs. M. T. Elan on Sep
tember 1st, will vacate her store in
the Barlow block to occupy the Fricker
store, next door, when that firm re-
moves in September to the handsome
new quarters to be arranged for them
in the hotel block.
And only the width of a brick wall
will separate her from the place in
which the best years of her long and
useful life have been spent.
For the greater portion of the half
century she has conducted most sue
cessfully her large millinery business
at that place, and over m1ro thaS half
of Georgia the name Mrs. Elan" is
indissclubly linked Herewith.
Twice in years agone this block has
been swept by fire, but in the rebuild
ing each time OF new and better stores
the three houses so long in existence
there-Mrs. Elam's, the Eldridge Drug
Co. and James Fricker & Bros.-con-
.tnucd on during this course of near
a half century.
Soon "the charmed circle" is to be
broken by the removal of the iewelry
house to other quarters, and Mrs.
ELAN will make change of base, al
though not far away.
The Fricker store is larger and more
desirable in many respects than the
one of almost equal size alongside,
and which she now occupies. It will
be greatly improved ere Mrs. Elam
takes possession and welcomes to her
new store her hundreds of friends
throughout Southern Georgia.
And these will wish for her long
period Of successful occupancy ere
the weight of golden years suggests
the rest and repose from business she
so well merits.
