Great activity is expected in the
Bremner country this year. While
the Bermner and its branches were
thought favorably of for a number
of years there has been no work done
as yet on a large scale. Individual
prospectors have been SO successful
that there is little doubt of its fut-
ure as a placer camp. Up to last sum-
mer it was very expensive to do any
work, as prospectorsf had to pack
their supplies $50 miles frsm Val
DEE and over the Thompson Pass, the
trails being very poor. 1t took the
men SO long to get to the ground
that they had little time to do any
work before grub began to run short.
Now it is only about two days
from the railroad and a great influx
of prospectors is certain. Up to date.
despite the difficulties. there has
been over $4,000 taken out from
the high bars on Golconda Creek
alone. small amounts being taken
from several other branches.
Louis Dahl was an arrival in town
last week. He has been represent
ing the Little Bremner Mining Co.,
In which Sam Blum. George C. Haze
let. the Vain Brothers and Tom
Louis are interested. They are now
getting their outfit together and
Dahl, the VAIN Brothers and a force
OF men are going out on Thursdays
train. 1t is proposed to put in a n.y.
draulic plant on their ground. There
is little trouble from boulders and
they have, an excellent water sup
ply. They have over 500 acres, only
35 miles from Bremner station,
which is Mile IS on the railroad.
They boat their supplies up the
Bremner to within seven miles of the
claims and have good trail to camp
There is considerable open-cut
work done already, but it is not eco
nomical to go much further without
machinery. They have an Empire
drill on the ground and will pros
pect the property fully this summer.
They will also sink a shaft to bed
rork.
The Golconda Hydraulic Mining
Company did considerable prelimi-
nary work last summer, got their
bitches in and laid lot of 12-inch
riyeted steel pipe. They have two
giants.

Ed Sellars is manager, while Chas.
GRADER, AL Doze and E. Bunnel are
among the officers. The company
is INCORPORATED for $4,000.
Their property Is located on Col
conda Creek, off the North Fork of
the Bremner. When their pipe line
was finished close to the end of last
season they took out s1,100 in a
little over one week. 1t is very
coarse gold, several nuggets were
around $40, and ore taken off this
creek went $52.65.
Tom Valentine has done assess
ment work for several years on mis-
property on South Fork of Brem-
ner. He expects to do lot Of WORK
this year and to bring out some
money Harry Hapfill is also inter-
ested on Big Bremner about Three
Mile Canyon. He has large body
of gravel carrying fine gold from sur
face, and at bedrock has made SIS a
day rocking. Bedrock is very uneven
but in some places only eight or ten
feet down.
Johnny Variderstein is another
old-timer who proves his faith in the
Bremner country by coming in every
year. He worked all last summer
and is now taking in his supplies for
this season. He has finished his
ditch and brought water to his claims
and expects to be in the money this
summer.
Harry Hapfill has good-looking
ground on Fern Creek and has al
ready started to work this year. DR..
Van Gunther of Valdez lie interested
with him. They have already
taken out some coarse gold and are
confident OF the future.
All the gravel bars on the Brem-
ner are good. Last year in twenty
days Dahl took $3.50 ground sluicing
at low water. He says any man can
make wages and up to $40 day.
Tehay River also shows good indi-
cations, as colors show in every pan.
1t has never been prospected much
owing to difficulty Of getting in be-
fore the railroad was constructed.
Every prospector who knows that
section talks Of the Hunagita Val
ley as the great hydraulic and dredg-
ing ground Of Alaska. This great
valley is forty miles long and from
1000 feet to two miles wide. 1t is
all fire-washed gravel with no trou-
BILE from boulders. It is believed to
have been at one time the channel
of the Chitina River before some
volcanic upheaval changed the land
and turned the Chitina into the Cop
per River. Every pan Of gravel shows
good colors.
When the surveyors we're looking
for the best way to the interior two
parties examined this valley for a
possible route. They examined the
formation everywhere to get an idea
for their reports on the prospects, OF
the country. They reported over 40
trials and colors every time.

 Arizona Republicans: P. w. Hudson was in Mesa yesterday from Tucson, and has made ar engagements for the cotton growers of this section to get their seed from the government. Everything sold by the government must be paid for on the spot, and the Mesa grow CTS will have to put up their mo- ney in advance in order to get the seed Mir. Hudson has made ar engagements to ship the seed to the Wilbur Realty Co.,, where the growers may leave their orders with the money. So far, there are about twenty or thirty different parties who plan to try cotton growing on the mesa. While it is in the nature of an experiment, the success made by those who have tried cotton in the Yuma and Tucson sections is a reasonable guarantee that there can be no loss Arrangements have been made to have cotton gin put in, and as there are experienced cotton grow CTS among those who will plant, 1t would seem tbat the industry might become one of more than usual importance. Unlike melons, once the crop is harvested there will be no danger of shrinkage in value while in transit to market, or that dishonest commission men will beat the growers out of their pay.

An Interesting Column of Items CulIed
 From Exchanges.

UIODe Dell. OndTIeS DlRdHuO, the well known ball player of Globe, a former member of the Globe Regulars is making good with the Los Angeles team with which he signed some time ago. In the baseball notes in the Los Angeles Examiner the following is the comment on his playing. Shortstop Bigando was the source of much comment yesterday. The Arizona busher had an error, but redeemed himself with five pretty assists and putout, handling these chances in finished form. He looks good to us" fan call ed out to Berry.

 Wilcox News: Monday even- ing meeting was held at the din- ing room of the Wilcox hotel to hear the report of the committee which had previously been ap- pointed to find out what the as. sessed valuation of this section amounts to. 1t was reported that the assessed valuation in all the territory lying north of a line drawn east and west three miles south of Pearce was somewhat over S3,000,000, and that the assessed valuation in the same area after eliminating strip of land l5 miles from north to south and Is miles east and with Benson in the center, would amount 10 a little over $2,500,000 The approximate expenses of running such county was also outlined. Various com mittees were next appointed to ascertain the wishes of people in the area referred to and all other places that might wish to join in the move, and that after ascertain ing same, that the move be made to lay this before the legislature.
 Yuma Sentinel: Charley Mea- dOws, the versatile genius of First street, brought to town last night, a sack of the finest sweet potatoes ever seen in Yuma, some of them weighing as much as 6 and 7 pounds each. They were part of the crop harvested from an acre which Charley devoted to a trial crop, and he stated last evening to the Examiner that he expected to harvest about 2,000 pounds of fine sweet potatoes from this one acre. As sweet potatoes are worth about Dc pound or will be in the near future, owing to rains in California 'hls would make most profitable crop for the Yuma valley farmers to consider and with a decent ireight rate out of Yuma, should make one of the most profitable crops to be raised here as the sweet potatoes grown here are not only very prolific, but have a flavor and sweetness not to be found any where else. Charley says that the present crop will be laid away for seed, and that he expects to plant about 20 acres.

Saturday Was a
Day Of Storms
Cyclones, Hail and Rain, Many
Killed and Much Prop
erty Destroyed.

Oklahoma was visited by five or
or SIX twisters that scattered death
and destruction in their paths.
Some of them were narrow and
others wide and covered good
deal Of territory. The little town
of Nelagony was entirely wiped off
the map with The exception of the
Selby hotel and the school house.
One person was killed and score
or more hurt, some of them very
seriously.
About S o'clock in the evening
storm started at Lacygne Kansas
and drifted off into Missouri. AS
the storm progressed it gathered
momentum and destructive power.
AT and near Drexel and Merwin
it did its worst. A work train was
blown OFT the track at MerWln and
about 20 Greek laborers were hurt,
some of them seriously. The storm
killed I'd people and seriously hurt
many more. L 1t is thought several
more will die from their injuries.

HONEYMOON IN An AUTO

Last Friday new Overland auto
went through Chanute, driven by Fl.
4. Strother, a dealer of Nowata,
Oklahoma. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Stother. In the back seat were
a bride and groom on their honey

They were Mr., and Mrs. Earl
Nethaway. Mr.. Nethaway is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Nethaway of this
city, proprietors of the Variety shop
on West Main.
Earl was married on the 18th at
Belton, MO-, TO Miss Oneita Sprinkler,
a handsome and talented young lady
of that city. As Earl is Mr.. Stroth-
er's chief man ia his garage, the
young bride AMI groom thought il
would be quite lark 10 ride back

OF the opinion that they were Suffici-
ciently shaken up together by the

Larger Gas Pipes
From the Main
Pipes Laid From Now on
Must be at Least N
Inches.

AT the meeting cf the city com
missioners Friday afternoon an
ordinance was passed requiring all
connecting pipes from the gas mains
to the residence houses be ID
inch pipes.
Mayor Lapham made the motion
stating that there has been some
complaint during previous winters
from property owners who have
not received enough gas. "Some
pipes as small as "a of an inch have
been laid" said the mayor, "and
these pipes are too small to carry
the gas supply in the winter. In
lola and other towns the rules of
the corporations supplying gas re-
quire "A inch pipes from the
main to the houses. We want to
have the gas system In such shape
by next winter that all gas con-
sumers can be supplied.
On last Thursday the gas pressure
was cut down to a ounces in order
to find out where the weak places
in the system are. Numerous COM
plants came to the city clerk and
all of these cases were investigated.
In a number of cases the fault was
with the mixer. Dirt had collected
until it took strong pressure to
force the gas through. In case the
main supplying the residence dis
tricts are not large enough to
furnish an adequate supply new
mains will be laid.

ADDRESSED CHANUTE CLUB

D, E. Watkins, of Kansas City
Kansas secy. of the Kansas State
Automobile Association, addressed
the Chanute Auto Club in the city
hall Thursday night.
The object of his address was to
explain the work of the state and
national association and to extend
an invitation. to the Chanute club
to join the association. Mr.. Wat
kins told of the work which the
association had done toward good
roads and how they were attempt
ing at present to pass securing for
Kansas equal appropriations for
road building with the other states.
81 find the greatest opposition to
the new road bill from the farmers"
said Mr.. Watkins, "the new bill
will tighten the burden of the
farmers in keeping up the roads.
The roads which are now township
roads and kept up entirely by the
farmers will become county roads
and the whole county will support
them. The taxes will 60 toward
the keeping up the roads and the
law says that not one cent of this
money shall be spent within the
corporate limits of any town but is
to be used on the country roads.
Another thing which is stopping
the progress in Kansas roads is the
manner in which they are divided
up for grading and dragging. At
the present time each man has a
mile to drag and keep in condition
for which he receives IS cents a
dragging. Now if these stretches
were made into four mile stretches
and each received So for dragging
this stretch the road would be kept
in better shape and you make this
man answer for the road. There
are plenty of farmers who will drag
the road for half day for So and
II you are paying this salary he will
either do good work or you can
fire him."
Mr.. Watkins complimented the
Chanute club on the good work
they have done toward better roads
and stated that the club is well
known throughout the state.
The towns i'll Montgomery county
Independence, CoffeyvilIe, Cherry
vale and Caney have formed into a
county organization and all the
autoists have joined the state asso-
citation and are starting on crusade
to get north and south county
road. The Chanute Club invited
Mr.. Watkins back to attend the
next meeting of the club, which will
probably be held week from Mon.
day, at Thayer and to address the
Thayer and carlton auto owners in
order to have them join the state
association together with the Cha
mute. Club.
