Bull Moose herded at the courthouse
Saturday night, trailed through the
business district and listened to two
snappy speeches in Cleveland square,
during which equal suffrage and the
square deal were advocated as the prin-
ciples OF the Progressive party.
The campaign was opened in FL PasO
Saturday evening by the new party
with an old fashioned torch light pro-
cession through the streets The Bull
Moosers wore the bandana battle
flag of the progressive movement and
marched behind banners predicting the
death Of the old parties. A Mexican
band headed the parade and Z. S. Goen,
former Republican chairman in FL
Paso, headed the band down San An
tonic street and toward Cleveland
square. -Four stalwart moose from the
smelter carried a black coffin on cross
pieces and on the side OF the coffin
was painted: cold Line Parties" This
was a part Of the smeiters crowds con

was made by &c. Standish. Another
banner with a bull moose head was
carried by William Stein, also from the
smelter The word @Smelter" appeared
under the moose head and showed
where at least a part of the smelter
employees stood.
This moose head had Illuminated

of march. The smelter men who car

horseshoer Fred Atkinson-made their
appearance and brought them to the
camp.
Now. Mr. Mathews United States

nowhere near when the capture was
made. They did not know that OrOzcO

THE KING PIN STRIKE
 IN THE TANANA VALLEY
QUARTZ FOUND ON FAIRBANKS CREEK RUNS AS HIGH AS TEN DOLLARS A PoUND-THE VALUES ARE CARRIED
 IN FIvE-INcH SPRINGER

Without a doubt the richest strike ever made on Fairbanks creek in the hard rock line was reported recently as having been made at the workings of the Cook brothers, opposite fl above, creek claim. The find consists of a stringer, the rock from which is so thickiy studded with particle es of free gold that the various pieces have a yellowish tinee when held in the sunlight. The stringer, according to those who lave visited the scene of the strike, is but some four or five inches in width, but the richness makes up for what the ledge lack 5 in width. No assays have been made of the ore, as the brothers have not been in town since the strike was made. Estimates made after samples selected at random from the orc had been crushed up Tn a mortar and banned, tend to give the rock value of about sIO to the pound.

 As the result of the withdrawal of the Bertha, the Admiral Samp- son will stop at Ship creek as well as Kodiak on her next trip north and also on the trip of Sept. 27. In October she will leave Seattle October 20 instead of October 15, as has been scheduled.
 Captain Peter Obert, master of the Bertha, may command the Yu- kOn when that vessel takes the run.
Valdez daily prospector., 1912-08-16

The report of the strike was brought to town yesterday, but no confirmation could be made, as the workings of the Cook broth CTS are beyond reach of telephones and no miners have come in from that section for few days.
 The Cook brothers are exten- sively interested in quartz at the head of Fairbanks and have been mining there for number of years. The latest discovery Is said to have been made on the Excel sior claim, which is owned joint ly by the Cook brothers, Victor Lundbladt, l.. M. Drury and Paul Hopkins.
 On the left limit of Fairbank 8 creek, evidently the source of the rich bodies of placer gold that have kept ,gumboot men busy for tho past seven or eight years, a good deal of quartz work is go- ing on. Too Much Gold creek, a tributary to Fairbanks on the left

 Mir. Wise speaks enthusiastically of the country, saying that the outlook for Lynx creek is vsry good indeed. Primar and partner, who made the discovery. were en- gagged in building an extensive dam to hold inc water, and had not begun sluicing, but they had pay throughout their claim.
