NO TRACE FOUND
OF DR.. JACKOLA
coUNTRYMEN OF MISSING ply.
slclAN SEARCHING WOODS
IN THE HOPE OF FIND.
ING HIM.

a large number OF countrymen of
DR. John Jackola, of Duluth, formerly
of Hancock. who has been missing for
six weeks. searched the woods back Of
Lakeside yesterday afternoon in an cf
fort TO find some trace of the missing
physician, says the Duluth Herald.
But not the slightest evidence was dis
covered which would strengthen their
belief that he is in that vicinity. or
that he has committed suicide.
Following the publication of the
fact that a wild man" has been seen
roaming i'm that vicinity. several par
ties have searched the woods i'm an ef
fort To locate him. The description of
the man who has been seen roaming
the woods In a nude condition an
swers that of Dir. Jackola very well
IN general terms, and there is quite n
strong belief that, can the wild man"
be captured" he will be found to be
the missing physician.
Prominent Finnish people here ex-
press the belief that Dr. Jackola was
insane at the time he left. Others
think that the man seen running at
lrage is a Finn who is taking a ma
turc cure" and has been lying i'm the
sun and running about the woods TO
cure some illness. 1t is said that the
Finnish people are strong believers i'm
open air and that the wild man" may
be such person. running about out
doors and returning to the city at

THE FATHER OF ToNoPAH.
****** ****+* *%**+* !

Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Butler were wont
TO traverse the desert, a donkey be-
ing part Of their outfit. on the 18th
OF May, 1900, the donkey, a restive lit
tie beast was the direct means OF
bringing the deserts mineral wealth
to Buffers attention. The latter, pick
ing up bit of rock. was about to hur-
tie II through space, with the inten-
tion of fetching the errant son of Ba-
alam TO his senses. but the rock look
ed so much like the real thing that
instead of throwing IL at the donkey
Butler took II to town for assay II
showed values as high as 1852 I'm gold
and 355 ounces in silver so he and
Mrs Jim went out TO locate properties.
one day Mrs Jim said: Il believe Tn|
locate minei" "Why not?" injured
jim, loosely. "Just locate those
boulders up yonder" Mrs. Jim tossed
her head, a bit indignant that her
spouse should make light of her desire
to locate mining property, and the
next day she climbed up to the spot
where stood four formidable looking
boulders and chipped off some bits,
which she showed TO Jim with the
remark: Seems to me that looks
like rock you get gold out Of"
1T certainly does" replied Jim af-
ter critical inspection. Where did
you get it?"
From off those boulders," and the |
proud lady Strengthened perceptibIy.
Then she located the mine herself. |
calling 1t "Mizpah," I'm memory of a |
dear friend who always used the word |
as signature TO her letters. The |
Mizpah mine has proven to be the
most wonderful of all. Not only were
those four boulders chock full Of gold,
startling in richness. but the ground
beneath tu "a depth of more than one
thousand feet yielded the yellow metal /
The Buffers named the region Of their
precious discoveries Tonopah: and a
city of nearly 10000 inhabitants graces
those mountain sides. while the busy
hosting works of scores of mines
bring forth their treasures. The word
ronopah is Indian for species OF
grass growing near the waterholes on
he desert.-Sunset Magazine

BIDS FOR GILLIAN WARSHIP
Three Tenders at Washington
Turkish Contract Awarded.

Washington, April Bids were opened
at the Chilian Legation here to-day for the
construction of one batteship of 2S,00O tons,
OF the Dreadnought type. There were three
bidders, the Fore River Shipbulding Com
pany, of Massachusetts; the New York
Shipbuilding Company. Of Camden. n. j.,
and William Cramp & Sons, of Philadel-
phia.
Senor Yoacham. charge d'affaires of the
Chilian Legation. forwarded tonight to the
Naval Commission in London the figures
submitted by the American bidders. He
said he was unable to make public the fig-
ures which might be given out by the COM
mission.
Mr.. Meyer. Secretary of the Navy, has
taken the position that should the bids Of
the American firms be accepted this gov
ernment would afford them the same IA
cilties in respect TO government plans and
papers as were given to the builders of the
Argentine Dreadnoughts. This considera-
tion. il is believed. will have much influence
with the Chilian government in the selec-
ton of the builders.
London, April 5--This was the last day
on which the Chilian government will re-
ceive tenders for the construction OF bat
tleship of 26O)0 tons and six destroyers of
about 1000 tons each.
Constantinople. April 8. - Armstrong.
Whitworth & Co. Limited. Of London, have
won the contract for the vessels of the
new Turkish navy, consisting of three bat
teships of 1850 tons each ard several
smaller craft The original tender of this
firm was $425 a ton. and they received the
contract only on reducing their price TO
500, the figures submitted by Palmer's Ship
Building and Iron Company Limited. of
London, in conjunction with the Bethlehen
Steel Company.
Under the latter tender the Warships
would have been built in England, with
American arr1or and guns.
