Gold Seekers Stampede in
Rush to Alaskan Fields

IDITAROD CITY, Alaska, June 6.-Three
hundred and fifty prospectors, the first
party of stampeders to reach the new
Iditarod gold fields, arrived here from
Fairbanks yesterday after a three weeks
trim down the Yukon river.
All agree that the stampede will be the
greatest since the famous rush to the
Klondyke, thirteen years ago, but many
oldtime gold-seekers are pessimistic over
the prospects for getting sudden wealth
from the gravel along the banks of the
Idtarod and Innoke rivers. Conservative
estimates place the number of prospectors
who will arrive here during the early sum-
mer at 5000. aHi

Gillett Story
Bat Masterson Says Alleged Inter
view with California Governor
Frameup of Reformers,

NEW YORK, June 6.-"The reported in
tervew with Governor Gillett Of California,
In which his excellency was made to say,
along with other things, that the Jeffries-
johnson fight was a frame-up, didn't last
very long" says Bat Masterson. 1T hardly
appeared in print before It was knocked on
the head by the governor himself The
entire story was such an obvious invention
that it is doubtful whether one in a thou
sand who read it believed word of Il.
1t probably will DO found in time that
the hoax had its conception in the mind of
some reformer or members of the Minis
terial union whose efforts in having Gov
ernor Gillett interfere with the fight had
JAILED, and sought to put one over on the
governor by inspiring the fake interview
IN order to get even. There is some salts
Iactlon' however, in knowing that about
W per cent of the people of this country
are too intelligent to stand for such bunco
work.
Now that the Governor Gillett inter
view regarding the fight has been declared
fabrication by no less a person than the
governor himself, another story, which
would seem to be based on much moro
substantial ground, to the effect that GER
tain politicians in San Francisco are de-
manding from the fight promoters certain
sum of money in order TO keep their hands
off, is going the rounds.
AS the story goes, Tex Richard and
Jack Gleason have been given the alterna-
tive by the grafters of putting up or the
fight will be stopped. The holdup plan OF
the Frisco politicians may not be as strong
as reported, but that there is some sort of
movement on foot to make Richard and
Gleason come through for the privilege of
staging the fight in Frisco, seems almost
certain"

CENTRAL CITY, Neb., June 6--(Special)
In spite fthef act that the project OF
digging a ditch almost forty miles long
dow nthe valley of the Silver creey for the
whole length of Merrick county was de-
feated last year before the county Board

sofa, which has lately been in operation In
Missouri, has tlst landed here under the
direction Of Mr.. Beattie. He says that he
has contracts which will keep his force
busy all summer The outfit will commence
work this week on tho farm of Joseph
w Cav east of town and from thence will
proceed in an easterly direction down the
valley OF Silver creek. Some of the best
land In the state lies in the Silver creek
valley. but owing TO the fact that II Is
poorly drained II is good for little but
prairie hay. Of which Il grows an immense
crop. However Merrick county land is
too valuable 70 let go for hay land. and
the owners believe thatNif It's is properly
drained it can be converted into splendid
farming land. hence the present project.
II is expected that many thousands OF
acres will be reclaimed.
