Sole of Giant S
Saneal is Found

NORRIS CITY. Ill-The sole of
a gigantic sandal was found in the
coal mine here, 645 feet below the
surface Of the ground by Elijah Jen
nings. miner.
While shoveling, away the coal in
his chamber, after firing a shot, Jen-
nines found the sole in a layer of
coal. 1t is so perfectly preserved
as to show plainly an outline of the
foot of the wearer. The other por-
lions were not discernible.
Around the outer edge of the sole
may be plainly traced the line fol
lowed in attaching the sole to the
upper part of the sandal. Further
more the shape of the foot of the
wearer is plainly visible. The length
of the sole is 1919 inches and the
widest part So inches. In the same
vicinity of the mine was found a
shin bone of human
being, while number of petrified
snakes were also found. All of these
finds are so perfect that they are
regarded as being of breat value by
scientists and there is much conjec-
ture concerning the period when
they disappeared from the surface of
the earth.
A branch of a tree. identified as
walnut, the leaves, twigs and thicker
sections being completely petrified
was also found in the same mine.
1t is presumed that these and other
articles were engulfed in some
mighty CONFUSION of the earth.

Fairbanksans Will
Leave For Tolovana

Among the Fairbanksans who will
leave town within the next few days
for the Tolovana country are Frank
Miller and G. A. Darr. They are
taking a months outfit with them
with a dog team, intending to spend
a month there, at least, in pros
pecting their holdings.
The ground in question was stalk
ed by Mr. Darr. who is only a re-
cent arrival in Alaska, and who did
his first stalking in the Tolovana
district. securing three claims on
Livengood and one of its tributaries.
According to all accounts the claims
are directly in the line of the sup
posed paystreak and Mr. Miller
states that perhaps "the luck of
the cheechaco" will have something
to do with the success of prospecting
of himself and Mr.. Darr.

Socialists Locals
Are Now United

Realizing that the only hope they
can possibly have for the success
of their movement in the Fairbanks
district is unity, the Fairbanks and
Garden Island locals Of the Socialist
party have consolidated. The move
has been contemplated for some lit
tie time past but factional differ
ences have heretofore made it i'm
possible. Now all quarrels are laid
aside and harmony reigns supreme.
1t is understood that the amalga-
nation is chiefly due to the efforts
of NJ. L. Gerth and Emil Pozza, two
prominent members of the party,
although they We're ably assisted by
others It is believed that the Fair
hanks-Garden Island local is now the

Juneau Democrats
Are After Reforms

JUNEAU, Nov 9.-The Democratic
organization of this division will de-
mand the passage of a bill to re-
quire registration of all voters and
also to provide for the voting by
Australian ballot. A corrupt prac-
tees act is also demanded in Alaska
and the organization is determined
that the next legislature shall pass
such a measure.
1t is possible that a number of
men brought here by the big fish
companies to aid them in carrying
the election will be prosecuted. The
use of large sums of money by the
corporations has also caused indigna-
ton and if possible will be prevent
ed at the next election.
