Big Paystreak Is Uncovered, and the
 Greek Promises to be One of the Largest Producers in the, Terri-
 tory.

"I took three pans from the roof of the tunnel that went 45 cents in gold: one pan two feet from bedrock that banned $5 and one on bedrock that produced $25."
 The above quotation Is not the re- suit of ''pipe dream" nor the idle mouthings of a so-called prospector
 intent on starting stampede to some distant locality. They are the words of Dr. w. F. Greene of Tokotna. and
 refer to a recent visit he made to the workings of Sam Mcdonnell and Bill Bevans. on Candle creek, near Toko7 tna, on ground leased from Tom Ait ken and Tom McKinnon.
 "I know that I will be accused of exaggeration in making this state ment," said Dr. Green. "but am willing to make affidavit to the truth of my assertions"
 Candle creek, according to Dr. Greene. is bound to prove one of the great producers of Alaska. The an cient channel of the creek has been llocated, and proves to be much deep- CT ground than the present creek ped
 which runs from eighty-Aye feet to
 upwards of ono hundred and twenty five feet.
 Mcdonnell & Bevans. according to the doctor, have uncovered 5000 feet of bedrock, wkich carries two feet Of sand permeated with values such as he has mentioned.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-A for nal note was dispatched last night by Secretary Lansing, accepting the pro- posal made by President Carranza, of Mexico that Mexican troops be per mitted to cross into the United States when such step became nec- essary in the pursuit of Villa and his band of outlaws.
 This acceptance means little. as 1t only agrees to permit the Mexican troops to enter the United States when the American soldiers are un- able to quell the raiders.
 With the granting of this request President Carranza can make no fur ther objection to United States troops crossing into Mexico after Villa, and there is no doubt whatever that a strong force of soldiers will start across the line within very few hours.

Word has been received here that

Rightmire left recently for Cam

On Monday he arrived in Albany
and, according to the story, met a
man who pretended that he was also
stranger in the city. The two be-
came quite well acquainted and took
walk. In the course of this, they
met up with third man.
When Rightmire searched his peck
cts after leaving the strangers, he
found $40 gone, as well as a watch
and chain. He reported his loss to
the Albany police. No arrests have
been made, as the Strangers" could

Dowds And Severns Make
Special Trip To
GAINESVILLE
OUTCOME A PROBLEM
Local Charge Unanimous In Desiring
Retention OF Their Pastor
Numerous Readjustments
Would Be Necessary
Hoping For The
Best

Bent on securing, if possible, the
return of Rev. b. E. Whitaker to the
local charge of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, s. G. Dowds, delegate,
and French w. Severns, alternate,
went to GAINESVILLE Thursday morning
to discuss the situation with Bishop
Anderson.
To bring Rev. Whitaker back to
this city, which is the unanimous wish
OF the local church it will be neces-
sary to make seven or eight readjust-
ments in the assignments of pastors
made recently at Steubenville.
Rev. Whittaker's remaining in this
city would mean that Rev. f. G. An
derson of Cleveland, who was given
the local charge, will have to be taken
care of in some other way. 1t is un-
derstood that Rev. Anderson would
much prefer to remain in Cleveland.
This much is certain. Rev. Whit
taker will be cared for by the bishop
in a manner which will prove salts.
factory to him. This promise has been
made. It Is, however, with the idea
of pointing out that more would be
accomplished by the retention in Mt
Vernon of Rev. Whitaker that Mr..
Dowds and Mr. Severns went to
GAINESVILLE.
Bishop Anderson is said to have
considered placing Rev. Whitaker in
charge of the Mansfield pastorate.
This, of course, would be more salts
factory to Rev. Whitaker than assum-
ing the duties of secretary of the fund
for superannuated ministers, to which
post he was appointed by the bishop
at Steubenville.
Rev. Whittaker's strongest desire,
however, is to remain in this city
where he has made hosts of friends
and where he has been eminently sue
cessful in his work.
Mr.. Dowds talked with Bishop An
derson Wednesday afternoon over
long distance and was informed that
no appointment had been made as yet
of secretary for the superannuated
ministers fund. 1t was reported that
Rev. Slutz of Wooster had been ten
dered this position and had accepted
the same, but Bishop Anderson en-
tered vehement denial.
The bishops power in the matter
of appointments and assignments is
supreme and no appeal can be taken
therefrom. He aims to accomplish
the greatest good in this difficult task.
Mr.. Dowds and Mr.. Severns stated
to The Banner Thursday that the out
come of their visit to GAINESVILLE was
problematicaL They said they intend
ed to place the situation before the
bishop in the strongest way possible
and hope for the best.

were absolutely injuring the develop

had devoted so much thought to bust
ness and manufacturing and industri-
al enterprise, that farming in Hamp-
ton county, in which that city is To-
Gated, was being starved and was
g4adually disappearing. So they made
up their minds that they would form
an association and that they would
employ expert farm agents and would
go out into the rural communities to
show the farmers what they could do
to improve the character of their
products and to increase the produc-
tivity Of their farms.
"And they went further and ar
ranged to give the farmers of Hamp-
ton county credit, reasonable credit,
such as they could afford to give un-
der the restricted circumstances in
which they had to operate and they
brought about a cooperative spirit
and cooperative action between the
farmers of Hampton county and the
business men and the manufacturers
OF that city which has resulted in
their increasing the value of farm
products in two years in Hampton

them $4,000 to do it..
Now what is the result? The
whole community has been benefited.
The whole community has found that
the cost of living has been materially
and bene6cially affected and they
have brought up to level of pros
