BREAD CAST UP
ON THE WATERS"

One day years ago, when j. P. Jones
Of Nevada was in the United States
Senate, the doorkeeper sent him the
card of man who solicited brief in
terview. "What does he look likef"
asked Jones. "a substantial looking
man from the West, l should say" was
the reply.
"WeIl, have him shown into the
marble room, and tell him / will SEQ
him in a few minutes,'' said Jones.
He went to the marble room and
found stranger The man arose as he
entered and said: "Mr. Jones of Ne
vada2'
Jones answered, Eyes" and the
stranger said: CT am sorry tc have
troubled you, Senator, but I wanted to
ask you if you would sell your interest
in your Alaska propertvq'
'Indeed / will,' said Jones, "but
pray tell me what property have in
Alaskai'
The man smiled and said: "Did you
not give Jim - $500 about ten
years ago, to go prospecting With"
"Jim, Jim,o muttered Jones, then
Frightening up with a fash of remem-
hrance, he added: ooh, yes, the cuss
was persistent and I gave him the dab
of money to be able to shake him.
"Well,o said the stranger, che To-
Gated you a claim all right and has
kept up the assessments and paid the
taxes every year, the property is of
some value now, and / would like to
buy your interest in it if it is for
sale. -
elbow much is the property WORTH"
asked ones.
''I dom know what it is worth, but
I would be willing to pay you 100000
for your interest," was the reply.
The property is part of the Tread
well ground at juneau, Alaska The
records of the coast are filed with just
such incidents. In the early days men
punched together and sent out pros
pectors. Of late the prospector has be-
come an almost unknown quantity,
partly because silver mines have lost
much of their charm, and second, be-
cause it is so hard for a poor man to
cling to a prospect and keep his title
good until it is enough developed to at
tract attention.
But when the prospector quits, then
mining is generally limited to what has
already been discoered, and the best
mines are worked out after while.
In the old daE when the boys "put
up for prospector they called it
gambling and were prepared in ad-
vance to lose philosophieally.
That gambling, or some other plan
viii have to be resorted to, or mines
will become scarce after few years
more.-Goodwin s Weekly

THINGS LOOK GOOD
FOR TUSCARoRA


For many years the titles to some of
the larger properties of the district
near Tuscarora have been clouded with
legal tangles that would take the wis
dom of a Solomon to untangle, but
time, the great untangler of all tan
giles, has finally smoothed away the diff
feulties that stood in the way and yes
terday was the beginning of the end
OF poor old Tuscarora s long, enforced
rest.
At noon yesterday there was sold on
the courthouse steps by Sheriff Harris,
by order of the district court, the
property which has been in litigation,
which was bid in by E. P. Carville for
the Dexter Tusearora Consolidated Gold
Mining Co, for 1926, 1854. Now that
the legal tangle is beginning to be
cleared up, it will not be long until
work will be resumed in real earnest.
The good news that the end to the
inactivity is at hand was phoned up to
Tusearora yesterday and the little
town already is taking on new life.
Another message received today AYERS
that forty people have filed on claims
that have been long since abandoned,
and men who have had no hopes of
ever seeing the old town come back =
are pleasantly disappointed at the life
which the news brought,-Indepen

oregon Coyotes worth Money

Reports of the discovery of dogs ap-
parently infected with rabies, and or
one infected coyote being found on the
porch of ranch house near Klamath
Falls, Oregon, have convinced the
county court that unusual precautions
should be taken to prevent the spread
of a rabies epidemic in klamath coun-
ty. The court has amended its recent
order for extra bounty money by rats
ing the extra bounty to SIS per head.
This order is to be effective until
March first. This sum, together with
the $50, already being paid, makes
a good bounty.
Besides this, Fort klamath stoekmen
announce they will pay an additional
s. per head for all coyotes killed west
Of the Williamson river, north of Kla-
Hath agency, and south of the Brown
ranch on Klamath Marsh.
In addition to this $l1.50 bounty,
the hunters may also realize from 81
to s5 more from the sale of the hides.
