PR0SPECT0R WANTS HIS
SHARE OF POTASH COIN
Mineralogist Puts in Claim for
Interest in New Deposits
Near Tahlequah.

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. Dec. 13.-A
few weeks ago 1t was reported that
the worlds supply Of potash would
doubtless soon be materially Increased.
as mineralogical specimens discovered
on land belonging to DR.. George Glaze,
retired dentist of this place, had
proved to contain large per cent OF
the valuable product. Local papers
stated that on or about the first OF
the year active mining operations
would begin. But now comes van
Tyne Prichard, a picturesque gentle
man and mineralogist dressed IN
khaki and wearing Rooseveltian eye
glasses who, in a ,Notice to the Pub
lic." filed few days ago In the offfce
of the county clerk of Cherokee coun-
ty, warns all persons interested In
certain tracts of lard that he will
take whatever legal measures may be
necessary TO protect his rights in, on
and to the lands described.
Prichard states that some time ago
he entered into a "grub-stake con-
tract with man who now holds a
lease on the mineral lands, under the
terms of which he, Pritchard was TO
receive n share of whatever he dis
covered, or the proceeds therefrom,
as also share in the lease. Because
of his knowledge OF things mineral
ogical, he AYERS he discovered potash,
but now since the discovery has been
made he is mentioned no more in con-
nection with. the mine or lease. So
he now makes known his intention
of resorting to legal measures If nee
essary and so the operation of the
Cherokee county potash mine may
not begin FER some time to come.
The iand upon which the potash
is said 20 have been found lies SOME
six miles northeast of Tahleguah, and
Is a region where some fine Specimens
of various kinds OF mineral products
have been found, tho no special ef-
fort has ever been made to sink pros
pect shafts.

ALASKANS SUPERSTITIOUS
Believe That Bones Thrown Into Sea
III Become Fishes.

In Alaska the natives have all kinds
OF superstitious beliefs. They believe
that everything has a spirit, and that
these spirits must be respected or else
had luck Will come to them For In
stance, they must not throw away any
old clothing, nor burn it, for that
would be .he same as destroying n
part of themselves. They must make
Il bundle OF the old clothes and put
II or the branches of a large spruce
tiee outside the village. All fishbones
are carefully put away in a basket,
10 be taken out to the middle OF a
river, stream, or lake, and there
| thrown overheard. This is done so
/, that not single bone, after 1t Is put
back into the water. will turn into 4
fish, and this is sure to keep up the
supply.
When a child is born the father has
to put away all tools that are made Of
iron or steel, and Is not allowed to
use them for twenty days. During
that time he is not allowed to go
outside to do any work or any hunt
ing. Should he do any of these things
IL would surely cause the death of the
baby. When child dies 1t is not
buried. but is wrapped in bundle
and placed at the foot OF spruce
sapling. II the tree dies within a
year the spirit of To child dies also.
When a grown person dies the body
Is kept at least three days in the room
in which it has died. When the time
for burial comes the body is buried on
hillside or high bank facing the
river. Tkere is the village of departed
spirits on the side facing the river,
md ON the other side tiie spirits Of
.he dogs who have died, and who be-
longed to the people whose spirits are
.hero. The spirit of on old woman
takes care Of these dogs.
