QUARTZ PROPERTY
 IS TAKEN OVER
Chatham Crock Property Is Bond ed and DIsoloses Some
 Rich Ore

| There is no doubt about Burns,
 McllrOy and ScrafTOrd taking up their option on the Chatham creek
 quartz property of Fred Fey and the lesson brothers, for since the option was secured further dcvcl- opmcnts have disclosed some very good rock, better in fact than any so far shown in the workings.
 After striking their lead the original prospectors drifted along 1t for some distance, when they came into a five-foot lead that came angling into the other. Pros pect work was started on this, but a pause had to be made to put in a raise for air.
 The purchasers of the property have since completed the raise and
 instead of proceeding on the large ledge have driftcd on along the original one. Their work has dis closed a two-fuOt vein of rich rock.
 Scraffurd recently left for Daw- son to purchase the LaDuc mill. This has since been delivered. The mill has two batteries of two stamps each and is of a thrce-way discharge type, made by the Joshua Hcndry people. Each stamp weighs 1,250 pounds. The owners of the mill who have the property under option. plan on installing il on upper Chatham creek. where there is a supply of wafer inc year around. They will start a crew of mon working on the millSilc immcdi- alely and will have the plant in working order in few weeks News Miner.

STORAGE BATTERY
 RUNS THE CARS
On Tanana Valley RaIlroad-Make Very Good Time on
 Test Run

Some little experimenting was found to be necessary with the new storage battery car of the Panama Valley Railway company, as no diagram of the wiring was contained in the car, while the instructiOns as to charging and handling were faulty in many re- spects. Further, it was found by experiment that the current first used in charging had too great an amperage and not high enough voltage for the work.
 Recently the car was taken 10 Cinema, making the run in 26 min utes, and later it went out to the siding in nine minutes, that be- ing as fast as the track would allow of it's travelling.
 An experimental trip was made out to Gilmore, the car working very satisfactorily.

COMMISSION
 REGULATING ROADS
Interstate Commerce Commis- sion Has Begun Tack of Resu-
 lating Alaska Roads

Max kaliSh, vicc-prcsi,lrnt and general manager of the Humboldt Steamship company, and his counsel, Charles r. Munday, of Seattle, returned to Seattle from Skagway, where Judge Edgar E. Clark, of the interstate commerce commission, conducting a hearing in the much talked about Hum- bOldt case. After taking verbatim the testimony of several witness ics, the hearing was closed.
 Judge Clark remained in Skag- way to take trip over the White Pass & Yukon road so as to thor oughly familiarizc himself with conditions before submitting his report to the commission. The Humboldt Steamship Go. was granted until Sept. i5 10 file it's brief. The White Pass & Yukon Co. is given until Oct. i5 to have it's brief filed. Judge R. A. Gunni- son appeared as counsel for the Monrc's Wharf Go. and the White Pass Co.,, both of which corpora ions are charged with undue dis criminalinn against the steamer Humboldt, in inc matter of freight raIrs at Skagway and over the railroad. It. is remembered that the case has been resisted through the various tribunals up to the supreme court. After taking evil d"nrr in the ease in Seattle, Oc- tohrr, 1909. thc interstate com m"rcr commission declined io as- sumr Jurisdiction on the ground that Alaska was a district, and not { a territory. Since the supreme lrOurt ruled that Alaska was as a Itrrritnry. the task of adiudicat- ing the Humboldt ease was as signed To the commission.
 Judge Clark then made trip over the Copper River and North western road to better familiarizc himself with that property. It is not likely that a decision will be rendered in the case until late this winter.

 Nebbe then notified others, and he and John POnnot and Young Cham continued the search for the body, but were unable to find any trace of it.
 Deceased was about 30 years old, single, and is survived, as far as known, by father in Ger many, and a brother some place in Montana, supposedly Bitter Root valley. He was industrious and sober, never touching liquor, and worked steadily, and is sup posed to have accumulated a con- siderable sum of money.

 One theory is that in attempt ing Co bail out the boat he upset it. Unless thrown beyond it's reach, however, it seems strange that he did not grasp it and cling to 1t. The water of the lake is comparatively warm and a man could remain in it for hours without physical harm.
 Such is the law in Alaska that the coroner cannot take any ac- ton unless the body is recovered, and the marshaIs office cannot do anything unless there is evil dencc of a crime having been com mitted. Therefore, it remains with friends tO continue the search for the body and protect the mans property for the bcnc- fit of surviving relatives. Although technically, without any authority to act, Deputy Marshal Brightwell investigated the case and both he and Commissioner Scott are keep ing track of what is going on. Cordova Alaskan.

the electric roads demonstrated their worth.
 Naturally value has been placed upon this great convenience of the rural communities. It is to be found capitalized in the additional prices which the owners have established for lands. In the exchange of farm property, point is made of it's near ness to electric lines just as in the city the landlord finds it worth while to advertise the means of trolly com- munication.
 Bonham now has an opportunity to secure an electric line from Dallas via Greenville and Wolfe City, and it would open up splendid trade territory for Bonham. Such a line would mean much to the land own- CTS and tillers of the soil in the ter ritory the line traversed. The Bon ham Board of Trade is ready and willing to assist in landing the line The Bonham (Texas) Favorite.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION

The political situation furnishes food for sturdy these days, with three legitimate candidates in the field for president ard no telling how many others, nominated for that high office and exalted position by par ties tat would like to be in the legi- mate cla.ss, in the field.
 Only three standard bearers, how ever, Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, the Democratic selec- tion; President William II. Taft, the steam roller candidate of the Repub- lican party, and former President, Theodore Roosevelt, the seif-nominat- ed candidate of the Bull Moose fac ticn of the Republican, party, will cut any figure. And 1t is doubtless, judging from the present outlook, whether any of them will cut any great figure except Governor Wilson.
 Never before in the history of American politics have the Demo- cTats enjoyed such bright prospects fer fer the success of their national tick ct. Never before has the G. o. P. heen so hopelessly split as now. Tssere are. many reasons for th's, principally the inability of Colonel Roosevelt to dictate the policies of A''.saIs government head at Washir gton. And furthermore, it might be stated, thaIe has never been such harmony and unity Of action on the part of the Demoorkc lIbf the patior. ss,

for supremacy On the part of the Democrats over the country and to the detirement of the regular Repub- lican and the Bull Moose tickets, is the unexpected repudiaticn of the ne- gro delegates at Chicago by Colonel Roosevelt. The cast off negroes of the South, who have in large meas u,e chung to the ccat-tails cf the white Republican leaders for years without any material reward, had about come to tae conclusions that they had best break away from the regular Republican party and when th,e Colonel belted the steam roller convention in the Windy City some weeks ago they thought they could hear the approach 0 ia sponsor for the "cullud faction of the G. 0. P. E
 But their hopes were blasted when the Colonel ruled them ''out of or der'' insofar as the Bull Moose par ty was concerhed. In taking this sud- den turn, for Colonel Roosevelt has been known to dine with a negro osi one occasion and it was looked on as rather strange thing for him to do, the Oyster Bay shattered idol tried to figure the Southern white man in as mighty good compromise for the Bull Moosers.
 But the negro vote is one that should be reckoned with in nation al campaign. Not that the black man has any great numerical strength at the polls in Southern territory, but because, as a whole, his vote is worth getting on the your side especially if you want to be president of the United States.
 And now it seems MT. Roosevelt has simply "balled up" the situation in his own circle. He has not gain ed any friends in the South and it's dollars to doughnuts that he has lost the rank and file of the negro vote not only South of the Mason and Dixon line, but in the North and West as we'll.
 And now it's up to the colored man to return to his first love'-the Southern Democrat. They have never held office under him and they were not disappointed, because they were not promisd offices. On the other hand they have been promised fame and fortune by their Republican lead CTS and with saddened hearts and a distrustful disposition they are still being led on with more promises The black man is getting wise. He has been used as a tool so long by the Republican party that the metal of the tool has lost it's lustre The ne- gro knows the Southern Democrat will treat him we'll, so long as he re- tains his color and realizes that he is a dark man.
 Mir. Taft has been sad disappoint- ment in the presidential chair. His administration has been one of con tinual mistakes and incompetencies and the people want a change. The change is coming.

It is generally assumed that the rise in the price of farm products accounts for the increase in land values.
