WHITE SPARROW.

The great White Sparrow services
given last Sunday evening at Drake
stadium, under the auspices of the
Register Tribune, our largest daily
newspapers in Iowa, vas the greatest
and most enthusiastic demonstration
ever held in Iowa, since more than
$4,000 people filled the large stadium
and thousands were compelled to sit
on the grass on the side of thecground.
The 1900 colored cadets who are in
training gave fine exhibition drill.
They stacked arms and about 300 from
the various companies stacked their
guns and marched out and sang sever
al familiar songs, such as "Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot" "Steal Away"
"Shouting All Over Gods Heaven"
and "Tipperary." The latter made the
hit of tn evening. Just preceding this
main program military octette of
fine singers, composed of T. J. Lancas-
ter, j. E. Scott, Bush Hunter, A. S.
Galpen, R. R. Penn, L. C. White, C. H.
Thompson and L. G. Roger, sang some
southern melodies composed by Ne
groes, which were fine. This drill ex-
hibition of 1900 colored soldiers with
out break or an errc- was marvel
Gus, considering only six weeks of
hit of the evening. just preceding this
spectacle went away praising the coll
ored soldiers.

BALLOU ADDRESSES TROOPS.
Colonel Praises Their Work at the
Stadium Review.

Colonel Ballou in the course of a
lecture to the men of the Fl. Des
Moines officers training camp at the
Y. NJ. c. A. tent at the fort Wednes-
day night took occasion to compile
ment his students on their soldierly
bearing at the stadium last Sunday.
The fact that the men, most of
whom were without military training
until few weeks ago, marched onto
strange field and carried out their
orders without break at any point,
he felt constituted a performance
worthy of the highest commentator.
Colonel Ballou is particularly proud
of the precision with which the men
went through the manual of arms ex-
ercise.
Speaking Of the activities of the
camp in general, the colonel expressed
keen appreciation Of the fine spirit
thus far shown by the men in cooper
ating with him to make the camp
success. He earnestly bespoke con-
tinuance Of this attitu.e, and assured
his hearers that if military discipline
som etimes seemed unduly severe, it
was necessary if worth while results
were to be obtained.
He further said that the war depart
ment at Washington had already heard
of their progress and had decided that
this training school was a success.
While he has received much praise
and good words, yet he does not take
it to himself, for if you men did not j;
cooperate with me and if you were
not good quality and fine character I
could not have done anything. How
could | make pocketbook out of a !
pigs ear. "By your fruits We are
known"

the use of these tablets: II had bad
spell with my stomach about six

The weather Bureau, whose re- presentative in Alaska, Mir. sum mers is here at the present time is establishing observation stations throughout the whole of the Terri tory. By an arrangement with the Bureau of Education most of the stations to be established in this section, the Second Division. will be placed in charge Of officers of the Bureau of Education. It is very interesting to recall that the volun- Mir. Gibson the well know civil en- gineer, endeavored to bring about this arrangement, especially with view of having a careful record kept of the currents in the Arctic and through the Boring Straits, as will as to have recorded the temper ature of the waters adjacent to the coast line winter and summer. In both of these efforts, very valuable arrangements they would have been from a meteorological point of view no doubt, he was unsuccessful. Bet ter understanding of the needs of the situation and the value of sus- tained observation of the various meteorological phenomena no doubt has prevailed of late in the head quarters of the Bureau to judge by the importance attached to the sub or voluntary observation stations throughout this vast territory. That improved results will follow from these general observations does not admit of a doubt,

An interesting and unnOtiCed ven ture in quartz mining is deserving of the especial favor of residents of this Peninsula, is now taking place at or near Bluff. It is an entirely new departure and if it's outcome is successful It may mean revolution ary change not only there but here, changes, il need not be said, wholly for the better. Five men, Meegan and partners are installing a novel departure in quartz mills which is located on some likely ground in the Bluff section and whereOn pans will show free gold at any time from the quartz rock. The mill however germs of successful exploitation. It is a very small roller type of ma chine and is operated by a twelve horse power gasoline engine. Not withstanding its diminutive size it has a guaranteed capacity of forty tons of rock a day, pulverized as effectively as with q battery of stamps They have now the entire plant installed and working solely by themselves They have a tunnel driven along the prospect and have now encountered the surface rock up above which it was their inten- tion to tap with the tunnel and will be putting through the free milling day or SO. X quartz man whose eX- perience is as profound as his know ledge of the country is exact says that the rock upon which Moegan and partners are working is id"n- tical with the gold bearing ledge which Lane exploited when the BIS Hurrah mine was being operated. It is stated that the ledge can be traced clean across the cCmtrE from Big HurraL 10 the Mcegan mine at Bluff. The outlay of capital is very small. the operation of the mill is reduced to a minimum of costs brings it within the reach of prac- tical mining for even small stake men, while as all the partners are workers and there are no white col Jared dead heads, the mine opera tion ought to prove remunerative if the gold is there and the plant will work out successfully. For that reason it will be interesting to watch developments and hard rock men with free milling gold proposi- tions which they have been unable to devise ways and means of work ing will lose nothing by watching the success of the Meegan and Co. mine and doing likewise them selves.

Dealers Report
Stocks Of Coal
of Good Size

There is no danger OF an immediate
shortage OF fuel in this city. Accord
ing TO reports of dealers made to the
city fuel commission Nov. 80, there was
sufficient coal in the hand of the deal
eFs 10 last until Jan. l, or longer. These
reports indicate that at that time the
dealers had from 2,700 to 5000 tons,
practically all of it being soft coal.
There is practically no anthracite coal
TO be had here. In addition to the
stocks of soft coal there is supply
of from 1000 to 1900 tons of coke on
hand.
Since one dealer. who was reluctant
to report his stock on hand, as Is re-
quired Of dealers twice month. was
notified that unless he filed his report
he would be reported to the state fuel
administrator, the dealer has reported.
The city fuel commission Is expect
ing TO receive from State Fuel Ad-
ministrator Webster soon an order
limiting the amount of coal to be de-
ltvercd each purchase to two tons,
Such an order has been issued with
instructions to each county and city
fuel commission to enforce it rigidly.
Application for purchases of coal will
be necessary before delivery of any
coal can be made. These applicatins
Will require the purchaser to tell how
much coal he has ON hand, how much
he will use this winter, and how long
his present supply will last,
