THE STORY 0F A GOOD
 JOKE 0N SEC'Y BOYcE

The practical jokers of the state house yesterday worked up one of the best April-fool jokes on genial Jesse Boyce, secretary of the state tax com mission, that could possibly be imag- ined and as a result the heavyweight accountant was busy running around the town all afternoon looking for a supposedly lost pocketbOok that was not really lost In fact, the only per son who really thought the pocket book was lost was Boyce himself.
 The story is this: During the fore noon a young lady visitor and friend of MT. Boyce went to the statehouse, and after being introduced to the of- ficers at the capitol, went back to town. Shortly after Mir. Boyce re- turned after the noon hour, tele- phone message called him, and told him that the young lady in question had lost her pocketbook containing her railroad ticket back east as well as all her worldly belongings in the shape of money.
 This was too much for Boyce to stand, and he immediately telephoned the railroad ticket offices, asking them not to validate the ticket, as well as giving other advice calculated to aid in the cause. He followed this by dropping his work and going down town to all the places the young woman visited, hunting for the pock- etbook This took about all the af- ternoon. In the meantime, the young woman, totally unmindful of what was going on, was in another section of town visiting other friends.
 Nobody told Boyce of the joke when he returned to his office shortly atter o'clock, and the folks who met him. knowing of the search, merely sym pathized with him in his thankless and fruitless task. There 'are about hundred people, though, at the capitol who know of the joke ana Boyce himself will know this morn ing.

TOL0VAkA STRIKE
 |S MADE PUBLIC

Locations of claims in the new TuIoyana strike district were placed on record Friday for the first time and thus the exact places where the strikes have been made are now known The creeks on whica the discoveries have been made are tributaries to the head of the Tolo- yana river, and the discovery creek proper which has been named Liven- good creek. is described as being located at l4S degrees, and 40 min utes west longitude, and 65 degrees and 90 minutes north latitude, being about f5 miles in an air line from Olnes.
 Iiyen2ood creek heads in the di vide which separates the Tolovana slope from the headwaters of Mike Hess creek. IL is said to be about ten miles in length.
 Claims were staked also on Ruth creek, a tributary of the right limi, of the Tolovana. on Olive creek and Gertrude creek. The claims were recorded in the names of C. w. Hudson. \. R. Hudson, c. W. Koeg ley and Jay Livengood
 II is found that Dr. Alfred Brooks, of the United States geologic sur vey is indirectly responsible for the prospecting in the upper Tolovana section. It is said that in 1898. when MT. Brooks was in the Forty Mile country, he told one of the Hudsons that the headwaters of the Tolovana should be good prospecting grounds This prompted the men who have made the discovery to look for gold there.
 It is denied that bedrock was reached in any of the claims when the last information was received from there. but it is said that holes have been sunk 32 feet, and good prospects were found all the way from the grass roots.
