Seattle Company
To Extract Gold
From HarbOr Mud

OLYMPIA, Wash, Sept. 3.-Ex-
traction of gold from the mud of
Seattle harbor will be undertaken
by Il company of Seattle capitalist,
it was indicated by an application
filed with the state land commits
sioner here.
The application asked permission
to lease the mineral rights of the
entire harbor area of Seattle, in
cluding all adjacent waterways and
tide lands.
The plan is to raise mud from the
tide flats by dredges and remove
gold from it by an amalgam pro-
cess.
The application was made by
Judge c. H. Hanford and John +.
Boyer of Seattle.
Officials of the land department
say that although there is no ques-
tion of the presence of gold in the
mud of the tide flats, it is doubt
full whether it can be taken out in
paving quantities.
Captain Dohm of the department
said that he. had extracted gold
from the mud while a student at the
University of Washington, but that
he could not obtain more than a dol
lars worth of the metal in day s
work.

that he called in his neighbors to

His neighbors came and found
him lying in bed. He told them that
Il devil in the form of an old wo-
man had taken possession of him
and was causing him much misery.
His story was so unusual and inter
eSting that the neighbors failed TO
take any notice of the door which
was opened behind them.
Suddenly all in the room were
startled by hearing Tokar scream,

offer some. aid to the sufferer or to
join the group of neighbors who had
been summoned. Fearing compli.

the woman and told her TO proceed
no further. The woman was deaf,
and continued toward the bed.
Tokar became frantic because of
his illusion that the old woman was
real devil coming after him.
Jumping from his bed he attacked
her with such ferocity that he had
killed her before the stupified on

FtXPECT JUBILEE
| 5O-CEINT PIECES
TO BE HERE SOON

AS yet none of the Diamond Jubi-
Ice California half dollars have been
received in El Centre, according to
inquiry made at the local banks to-
day. Congress authorized the mint
ing of 100000 special half dollars
to commemorate the 75th anniver-
sary of the admission of California
to the union, and it is said that over
one half of the issue has already
been sold.
The coin carries a figure of the
California bear ON one side, and
on the other is a reproduction of a
California Forty Niner' washing
out gold.
1t is expected that a small supply
of the coins will be received in El
Centre shortly, and adviees from
San Diego state that orders for
the coins can be placed through
any banker, or by writing direct to
the Jubilee Committee at 546 Phe-
Ian building, San Francisco.
The half dollars sell for one dol

SOON TO HAVE
SILENT STREET
CARS is CLAIM
by United Press Leased Wire

GRAND RAPIDS, Sept. g.
Light, noiseless street cars which
can be operated at half the cost of
regular equipment and have the
same carrying capacity are being
experimental with here in an eff
fort to meet motor bus competition.
The experiments are closely fol-
lowed by the American Electric
Railway association. 1t is contend
ed that if the ears prove practical,
street railways will be able to opc-
rate more profitably and comfort
able transportation.
Three ears were built for the
Grand Rapids Railways Co. by diff
ferent manufa oturers. They weigh
only $4,000 pounds and have the
same carrying capacity as ears of
the old type weighing $4,000
pounds. The new ears can be ope-
rated with less than half the elec-
trlc current requirol to run the old
type.
Various types of noise reducing
apparatus are provided by the diff
ferent car builders. One of the
coaches has n rubber cushion be-
tween the wheel and the tire. Anoth-
er has rubber filled holes drilled
in the wheels to reduce noise. A
hollow steel wheel filled with noise
smothering fibre is also used.
Stop and Start Quicker
In addition to economy effected
in operation of the new coaches,
they are built to give the operator
more advantage in heavy traffic.
The ears can pick up speed faster
and stop more quickly than the old
models.
About third of Grand Rapid s
street railway equipment was de-
troyed in a single fire recently
Emergency ears were borrowed from
other cities but the railway dccid-
ed to try Il new type of ear before
replacing the equipment permanent
ly.
Officials of the company contend
that until the experimental ears
were designed. little progress had
been made in street railway coach
construction for twntv years.

ARTESIA LAD, IA,
FACES CHARGE IN
FORGING OF CHECK

Leonard Duncan. IA years old. a
red headed, freckled faced kid from
Artesia, has started off in life on
the wrong foot, and consequently is
at present confined in the juvenile
quarters at the county Jail.
The boy left home three DAYS
ago, according to his story. and
eventually found himself in Calex-
leo, where he made the acquaint-
ance of Il couple Of other young
sters. The other boys, he says, in
duced him to sign the name of Ray
g. Roberts of this city to check
for s1O.50- which he presented at
Zuckerman Brothers store.
- Feeling certain that the check
was fictitious, the clerk fn the store
Uniformed the proprietors, and Chief
Hardwick was called. He placed
Leonard under arrest, and later,
when the boy told his story, he was
sent to Ell Centre.
At the Jail this morning Leonard
presented very downcast atti-
tude, and with good reason, is scar
ed stiff at his present predicament
He stated he ran away once before
and was with a circus for almost
three months, eventually returning
to his home
HSs companions in the Calexico
escapade left him in the lurch as
soon as they saw he WAS in trouble,
and the IA year old youngster is
left to face the charge of forgery.
He does not seem to be bad boy,
and his conversation shows that he
has had a good home training. In
all probability he may be sent to Il
reform school, but it would seem as
though Il good fashioned wood
shed session and talking to. are
about all that Leonard needs to
set him on the straight and mar
row path. His parents have been
notified, and today the boy was
hoping that his dad would show up
to help him out.
''If they will only let me go this
time, [ want to go back home and
stay there Leonard told a report
er, and he meant it, if ever a boy
did. He has just graduated from
grammar school, and said Job OF
a high school term would be much
more satisfactory to him than q
sentence in reform school.
