 Robert Wiley who has extensive holdings in copper, near White river, is in this camp at present and has already purchased interests on Glacier, Gold Run and Little Skoo- kum. MT. Wiley is working a crew of men, and he has been getting fine prospects. He is an enthusiast over the present conditions and ex- poets the camp to yield large re- turns next summer. He will bring in boiler this winter to test some of his benches.
 F. T. Hamshaw, who is also inter- ested in copper, has invaded this camp and has large holdings upon which he is working a large force of men. There is scarcity of grub in the camp and many who wanted to winter there will have to go out. A dollar a pound freight added to the original cost in Cordova or Me Carthy is the schedule of prices but there is very little at that. How ever it is claimed that the big Yukon companies will rush a cargo through in season to prevent mid winter famine. All kinds of game is plentiful. That helps some.
 Scenes at the new camp beggar description. Stampede madness seems to have taken possession of the entire community As you ap- proach the diggings, dropping down over a large rolling hill, the pan orama that spreads below is inspir- ing to say the least. Over this trail many hundreds have already passed. Spectacled students bowed with the weight of much learning awaken the valley with their college yells, and the grizzled pioneers of the days of '98 plod on as anxious as ever to make one more good strike.
 The vanguard of the big bunch from Dawson and Fairbanks has ar rived and are sWarming over the diggings like bees. Some have been lost between White river and Panama, a few came by way of Gull kama, others up the Tanana in river boats, some from the mouth of White river and some from the Don jeck and the Snag rivers, both tribu- tary of White river. These people have not brought much grub but they have caches at different river points below and already numbers are preparing to go after supplies.
 Most of the Yukon people expect to winter at the diggings and sur rounding country. Already there have been many glad reunions be- tween the Copper river boys and their old time friends from Fair banks and Dawson. It is amusing to see the new arrivals rush up the creeks, tape line in hand, measur- ing from one post to another and reading the location notices, which are tucked carefully away in the rock monument.

Practically all of the returning stampeders back with encouraging reports of the gold dggngs They know that good has been taken from number of creeks while color in encouraging value have resulted from surface banning many other streams. It may be necessary to await the coming of spring before the real extent and value of the camp established But to the present time everything looks good.

Fremont County Progressives
Adopt Strong Resolutions on

st. Anthony, Jan. 6.--The following
resolutions were adopted Saturday by
the Fremont county Progressive COM
mittee.
Whereas, the Idaho supreme court
in the month of October, 1912, made an
order prohibiting the Progressive party
from placing the Roosevelt electors
upon the regular ballot, which order
provoked from Colonel Roosevelt a
telegram censuring the supreme court.
and advising the Progressives TO write
in the names of the said electors
tabooed by said court: and
Whereas, the Capital News, a news
paper published at Boise City, Idaho.
and a Progressive newspaper, printed
the said telegram Gas many other pa
pers did likewise) and made comments
thereon and criticizing said court for
the act which practically disfranchised
many qualified electors of the state;
and
Whereas the supreme court has
cited for contempt the owners and ed
itors of the Capital News and have
made an order filming each of the de-
