TIME.
COMING TWO'S And 1HRfEs
r. F. Moore Declares The Lot One
Of Best That Has Ever Been Assem-.
bIed Together-5ought In Moor.

Probably one of the biggest single
purchases of mules made by Maury

dealers, when today they closed deal
with Lem Motlow, the big farmer Of
Moore county, for eighty-two head Of
coming two and coming three-year-old
mules. Mr.. Moore declares that com.
petent judges have pronounced this
the finest bunch of eighty-two head Of
mules ever assembled together. There
are several pairs of coming three's in
the bunch that weigh over 2,6OV
pounds. The two's are equally as fine.
These mules will arrive in Columbia
tonight. They will be well worthy Of
inspection and Mr.. Moore invites all
Of his numerous friends to see them.
During the past FIVE days this firm has
purchased in Moore county alone 1O7
head of mules, all of them of the high.
est class.
Speaking of the purchase this morn
ing, Mr.. Moore said that while these
were extra fine mules and cost his
firm cody sum of money, he be-
lieved that the demand in Maury coun.
ty for just this quality OF mules war
ranted the purchase. Farmers here
want the best and these he said, were
the best that money could buy. They
are from Missouri colts, especially Sc.
lected by Mr.. Motlow and developed
on his big Moore county farm.
It will require four solid cars to

CAPTAIN .BOERNER HERE

Captain C. A. Boerner, the well-known river pilot, arrived in the city from Fair banks last Thursday, after six weeks trip from Fairbanks. He reports a strenuous time on the trail, and bears the evidences of frostbite. He was accompanied as far as Schirmeier's roadhouse by J. w. McCord mining operator of the Tolovana district, who joined in the search for Sinclair's body. Captain Boerner says that Fairbanks never was so busy and prosperous in recent years as at present. There are no vacant houses in the city and the effect of the railroad construction work is being felt in Fairbanks business circles Besides this, the opening up of the Tolovana district has been helpful It is understood that Captain Boerner will fill position in the Northern Commercial Company's store at this point until the opening of navigation.

MINING MEN FROM MARSHALL
 ARRIVE HERE WITH GOLD

Dan McKinzie and "Curly" Smith, the well known operators of the Marshall camp, arrived at Flat on Monday last, and on Wednesday proceeded to this city. They brought with them a big consignment of gold from their Willow creek workings, the value of which was varously estimated at from twenty five to forty thousand dollars They were on the trail about nine days, and were accompanied by several natives Nothing in the way of new strikes had been encountered up to the time they left the lower river camp. They brought with them considerable mail from which it is learned that sluicing was in progress on Willow creek up to the 16th of October. After the shutdown numerous prospectors took to the hills and surrounding creeks and there is strong hope of further discoveries in that neighborhood

He says: '1 cannot give you any idea of things here, but all letters are so strictly censured nowadays, especially to the States. 1 have had quite few new experiences, but never have been so proud of the fact that am an English man as when I see our boys fght-men who have never touched rifle until this war, and did not know what hardship meant" He asks to be remembered to all.

 It appears that waiting game is being played by those most interested It is not likely that an extensive stampede to the district will develop; but that operations are being closely observed goes without saying.
 Another Deal Consummated
 Yesterday it was stated that another deal has been made by which MT. Riley came into possession of lays on Nos and 3 above discovery on the same creek, the for n1er held by Ira Wood and J. E.

TRIAL OF JAPANESE JIMMY
 FOR GIVING NATIVES LIQUOR

Charged with giving liquor to Indians Ging Ekeda, local Japanese, known as Japanese Jimmy" was on trial before Com missioner Geraghty and jury on Tuesday last After being out for several hours, the jury, at a little after midnight, reported to the commissioner that they were unable to reach verdict. They were accordingly dis charged. It was understood that the jury stood eleven for conviction to one for ac- quittsl On Wednesday Commissioner Ger aghty set the case for retriaI on Friday, De cember 1, and a new jury was ordered.
 The case grew out of complaint made to the marshals office by the wife of Indian Charley, or Charles Marcel, to the effect that the native, under the influence of lquor had brutally beaten the woman Deputy Marshal Thomas placed the native under restraint on an open charge, and as a result of investigations swore out the war rant against Cling Ekeda charging him with supplying the native with liquor
 Indian Charley, his wife and daughter were witnesses for the government, and the services of Isaacs, another native were en- gagged as interpreter. Paul Reimer, Harry Yeager, Manuel Gularte and Cyril WooG erwe called as witnesses for the defense, an ;he defendant was placed on the stand in hi own defense.
 The natives all testified that the defen ant brought liquor to their cabin and gay it to Indian Charley The defendant denie this and swore that he had bought Il whisky for at least month past Test mony was adduced to show that the de }endant had bought whisky at two differer business houses on November is. The Of ense charged was alleged to have been com mitted on or about November 25
 Addressing the jury, Charles E. Taylor, for the defense. asked that his client be discharged because of technical defects in the information, which, he said, did nog comply with the statute in that it did not state that the defendant furnished the liquor without authority of law" and also did not state that the party or parties named were Indians

MORE PROPERTY ON BOOB
 IS ACQUIRED BY RILEY
 AND INTEREST INCREASES

J. E. Riley, who left here for the Tolstoi week ago last Monday, returned to the city on Wednesday last. On being asked how things looked in that promising new district, he replied:
 Not very good. Like all green pastures, it looked better at distance"
 If anyone conceive the idea that George was disappointed in his trip he is apt to be badly mistaken. That is just playful littl way he has of disarming inquiry regarding his numerous and extensive mining opera tions The fact that several miners and prospcct0rs having interests on Boob creek, in the Tolstoi, made their appearance in Iditarod simultaneously with Mir. Rlleys arrival awakened interest and 1t was not long before the fact became known that deal was on which would add to Mir. Riley's already extensive interests on Boob creek.
 It transpircd later that he had acquired from J. F. Beattie and Max Minard title to claim Mo- ? above discovery, on Boob creek, and that the price paid was s25, 900, S10000 of which was cash and the balance notes.
 This gives Riley and associates control of the majority of claims on this creek on which pay CT good prospects have been found
 The story goes that it is the intention of the Otter creek dredgeman to commenc, extensive operations on Boob creek, tn, consummation of which may occupy some years It is intimated that ditches will be constructed to convey water to slulce of tbe overburden of these claims, and that ater a dredge will be installed. The ground on this creek is tCo deep for the operations of a dredge of the size contemplated, and the sluicing will be to prepare the ground fer the dredge The ditches will be con structed during the coming season, the ground, will be sluiced the year following, and the next year will see the dredge in stalled. The preparatory work will of ne cessity require the employment of many men.
 The ground in question was originally staked by Arthur Eaton, well known pros pector. He gave an option to Beattie and Mnard for the sum of $6,0OO. Ira Wood and associates became interested in the op, tion
 The deal has aroused renewed interest in the Tolstoi, as much so, in fact, as the previous transactions by which Riley and associates acquired Nos and ? below dis covery and the Emmet fraction, on all of which good pay had been found, and half interest in Mo- below.

The Case Retried

 The jury returned a verdict of guilty late last night, and a fine of $2OO was imposed by the commissioner.
