Another meet ing is now called for 8 pm. Wed nesday. November 15 in the of flee of the Maynard Columbus Hospital. If the response al that time does not constitute quo rum it is believed that the local chapter will have to be diSsOlv- ed. To keep the chapter going does not require much time, if a reasonable number of persons respond so that the small amount of work may be divided among them.. However, the present Offic CTS feel that they have given as much time in the past as they were able and cannot continue as officers, but are willing to con tlnue as members. Ghe local chapter now has on deposit in .le Miners & Merchants Bank at Nome, the sum of S557 for use in aiding distressed individuals suffering as the result of natural calamities that might occur in our community such as fires, floods and storm. This is Nome money subscribed by Nome peO- pie from time to time in the past. If the local chapter is dissolved and abandoned that $557 will automatically become tine pro- perty of the National Chapter and be removed to the Division al Office at San Francisco. After it is removed from the Nome bank it will no longer be avail able for needs in Nome.
 Come to the important meet ing.

DAHLONEGA. Ga, Nov. 15 SP)--A new gold strike bearing lode bonanza ore, the state geo. Iog.st said, assayed $50,000 ton was disclosed by operators in the century -old Calhoun mine three miles south of here.
 State Geo-ogist Garland Pey- ten described the strike as "a vein of quartz of two inches thickness to an unknown depth, so thoroughly impregnated with gold that over approximately 10 inches appeared to be one con- tinuous ribbon of metal"
 Peyton asserted that the vein is the richest he has seen in 25 years in Georgia and definitely classes 1t as a bonanza" with ap parent richness comparable to the famous Comstock lode which yielded three hundred forty mil ion dollars in gold.

Everything was moving nicely
when the command started at O'Clock
on the morning of Nov. 8. The country
was rough and rolling, with snow ly-
ing In patches, but warm and pleasant
during the day. Camp was set up at
the head Of branch Of the Big Dry
where there was plenty of wood, but
where the grass had been "eaten off
by buffalo; water very poor"
Some difficulties were encountered
when in putting the bridge down one
of the stringers broke owing to poor
driving" Later the command crossed
the creek which had deep banks 1t
was very bad crossing" Logan's
mess wagon tipped over off the bridge
Only a few buffalo were seen. The
days march covered 10 miles.
Some trouble was experienced in
getting out of camp the next morning
owing ito its not being light enough
to see where we are going over the
rough and broken country. Baldwin
says that the command crossed what
was believed to be the main dry fork
during the morning, which was crossed
again later IN the day. Camp was set
up in the evening on the east bank
of the Big Dry where there was plenty
Of timber and good water, but no grass
which had been eaten off by buffalo.
THE river here resembles very much
the Canadian OF Indian territory on
account of the sand blowing up in
large heaps along the bluffs. A fresh
trail of Indians was seen about seven
miles away. Marched about IS miles.
Snow began to fall again early on
the morning OF Nov IL before day
light, and continued all day. The pre-
cipitation was about three inches OF
tine snow blown by a strong wind from
he northwest. The command marched

morning Of Nov. 49, and records that
the temperature was 10 above zero.
The wind was cold, blowing from the
south. Ordered out with companies II
nd E. Baldwin marched at 8 o'clock
to make a reconnaissance up Dry
creek, covering a distance of seven
miles and keeping his scouts well out.
Some fine places for Indian camps
were seen, and where they have
camped. but all signs are old"
In a laconic statement, after COM
pleting his diary for the day, Baldwin
records: Major Lyman is crazy" Ly-
man was in command of company /.
Bad roads and darkness delayed the
march the next morning. the start
not being made until o'clock The
command moved down the Big Dry all
day for a distance of a little more
than % miles But little timber was
seen along the course. Several good
sized creeks" not mentioned on the
maps formed functions with the larg-
er stream from the east and west.
THE Big Dry, where we left this
morning, is 257 yards wide, and at our
camp tonight it is at least TOO yards
wide. 1t Is a wide sandy bed with
but little water We camped in the
northeast angle of the shore formed
by good sized creek coming into the
Big Dry" Baldwin says, as he follows
with description of the troubles en-
countered in moving the wagons which
kept breaking through the ice Men
and animals were very tired. Showed
a little about o'clock. Distance 231
miles"
The command marched down the
bed of the Big Dry, starting promptly
at $3.50 o'clock on the morning of Nov.
Is. 1t was the most practical route
owing to the rough country adjoining
the river The distance to the mouth
OF the stream was covered by noon
when the command moved out to the
west Of the bluffs OF the Missouri river,
and after marching three miles, we
went down into the valley and camped
right under the bluffs. About 10 o'clock
a. m. Indians were reported IN front |
by scouts Being in advance, rode |
TO the top Of bluff and with my 1
glasses could distinctly see 100 or 200 |
Indians apparently moving out or !
away from us. I
Closing up the command and train,
the General Miles moved forward
rapidly, and 1t was now discovered that
they we're agency Indians. and on the
north bank of the MiSSouri-so our
fond expectations of a good fight
vanished I rode down the river and
crossed on, the ice and found Lieuten-
INT Day with 81 men of the Sixth IN
fantry. Fort Peck Is located on the
forth bank of the Missouri about four
niles above the mouth Of the Big Dry,
md right under the bluffs.
There are about 5000 Yanktonais
lere. and many Indians who have been
nut with Sitting Bull are here. Frank
Kelley and corporal are here. They
eft our command four days since the
liver froze over, so 1t can be crossed
n places"
The difficulties with the wintry ele-
nents increased as the command con-
inued its itinerary. Baldwin records
hese incidents as he continues his
iary from Nov 10, which will be de-
ailed Ia another installment IN an
arly edition.
