J Brooks, Oct. 19—(Special to the
Fairbanks News-Miner) — jack AU
toon, working on the Sunnygide and
Etna claims, opposite 8, 9, and 10
above. Liven good creek, ran, in to
dirt that will go $1.50 to tho square
foot of bedrock. This la Blmply an
jotherproof that tho new camp will
turn out fully as well as was ex
pected. It la simply onohter nail
"in the coffin of the pessimist.
J.''Every claim has more or less
jot a story attached to it. This
claJ -i has Its story just as every
/other one has in this northland.
JC. E. Keene Bank a hole on the
Hue between the Sunnyside and Et
na claims for an Interest in both
claim* last fall. He Btruek pros
pects that he believed would go
about a dollar 'o the square foot
The bedrock sloped toward the
kill.
Shortly thereafter, some French
men put a hole down on a fraction
between SunnyBide and Etna They
too struck fair pay. They seemed
to De satisfied with the varies
which the ground carried.
Ia the meantime, John F. Dillon
and Tom Marquam bonded a three
eighths interest in the two claims
for $4,500. Mr. Marquam went in
to the Tolovona and with Jack All
man started to prospect the ground.
They put a hole down 45 feet to
bedrock on the SunnyBide claim.
Thompson & Godfrey bedrockod
a shaft 100 feet below the line of
the iSuunyslde and 300 feet up
the hill from the alace where Tom
Marquam was working. In that
liole dirt that wont 12 to tha foot
was found.
Business called Mr. Marquam
back to Fairbanks, and Max Altman
and Jack Allmaa Btrted to put
down a new shaft on a Una with
par tound by Godfrey & Thompson.
It Is In this now shaft that tho
pay w«« discovered. The locating
of the oay here proves that the pay
streuk in the Toloyana Is a re
ntal kaoiy straight one. The creek
Itself Is evry crooked, but the pay
streak seems to be quite the oi>po
stte.
Mr. Marquam stated this after
noon that he couid not get away for
the now camp until after court
wao through aa he had some mat
ters that he had to attend to.
Farther ♦.han that, he did not ewe
to make & statement.
• The report la an encouraging
oine, and Is welcome news. It is
but another Indication of tho fact
tt»a» the Tolovana will be a good
camn nest summer, and, with the
systematic prospecting that it will
get this winter, the future of the
country around Brooks should be do»
fln'tely determined by next sum
mer. It looks mighty good now.
There will be a convention oif the
Alaska Native Brotherhood for
four or fire days, commencing on
Monday morning, November 22,
next, at Metlakahtla. Native dele
gates will come from almost every
Indian village on the coast from
Haines down to the lower boundary
line, and these delegates will 'repre
sent the ThlingLt, Hydah auii the
Tslmsean native peoples.
This is the third time the new
organization holds its annual con
vention, and the good it has already
dene for the native young men
of the coast proves the necessity
of Its own, existence.
The delegates, although repre
senting a diversity of dialects, will
use only the English language in
their deliberations. The sessions
morning, afternoon and evening,
will be open to the public; and the
courtesies of the floor will be ex
tended now and then even to those
Who are not delegates as long as
they hare something interesting to
contribute to the general discus
sions.
The organization ia not a religi
ous ror a political . affair. It is
voluntarily formed for the pur
pose) or assisting and encouraging
the native* Alaskans, especially
the young men In their struggle for

better civilized life. Discourage
meats, mistakes, misunderstanding
Quel even ridicule, aro Dull in tlie
way of tha new movement; yet,
with all these the native young men
feel that if the Indian, problem is
to bo effectively and correctly solved
at ail a largo part of solving it in
any shape or form must or necessi
ty fall to their lot
Soma j I the prominent men in
public, religious, educational and
business life, Americans, Including
perhaps one or two of the members
i of the last territorial legislature,
will give addresses at the popular
meeting. Only a very bare outline
of tho general subjects of the con
vention can be notioed hare.
The Alaska Native Brotherhood,
!ts meaning, necessity and future;
tho Alaska Native Races, their ori
gin and history, the causes of their
degeneration, what will supplant
their present bad customs? What
business can the natives actually
'•■n^ago in? Stumbling "blocks, and
how to clear thom. Alaska Indian
.Education, its history, system, suc
cesses and failures. Manual train
ing. The returned student, and
why is he useless aand big-headed?
Citizenship far natives, how and
when? The present policies of the
govornment toward, the Alaska
natives. And so forth.
The Metlakahtla people are mak
ing arrangements for this gather
ing, and they will spaire no ex
pense in entertaining the native
visitors. A very cordial invitation
is also extended to all friends of
tho Alaska Indian in the vicinity of
Metlakahtla to attend any or all
of the sessions of the convention.
Provisions will be made for the
convenience of day visitors, and
these will Include a noon lunch
for all on each day. Details of all
this will be announced later on.

KUROPATKIN REINSTATED.
Former Generalissimo In Manchuria Is
Appointed to Command Corps.
General Alexcl Kuropntkln lnis been
appointed chief of the ltusslau grena
dier corps. This shows a remarkable
reversal of opinion In Uussla regarding
GENERAL AL1.XKI KUBOPATKIN.
a Military leader who was disgraced
because of Russian defents In the war
with Japan.
After the defeat at Mukden und uie
retreat of the entire Hussion army to
Tleling Kuropatkin reslgued tiie com
mand to General I.inevSteh, taking the
letter's place at the head of one of the
three armies In Manchuria. He was
later retired from the army In disgrace
General Kuropatkin was iiorn in
1S4S and entered the army at the
age of sixteen. In the war of 1S77-8
against Turkey he earned a great repu
tation. In 1SS2, at the age of thirty
four. he was made a major general and
eight years later a lieutenant general.
Early Coal Discoveries.
The first mention of coal in the ter
ritory which afterward bccatnc the
United States has heretofore been cred
crodited to Father Louis Hennepin,
who showed on a map published In
1GS9 the location of a "cole mine" along
Illinois river near the site of the pres
ent city of Ottawa. According to S. O.
Andres of tbo Illinois state geological
survey, the credit for this first mention
of coal does not belong to Hennepin,
as tbe discovery of coal in the United
States by Europeans was made by
Joilet and Marquette .In 1673. How
ever, nearly a centuiy and a half
elapsed after tbe discovery of coal In
Illinois before mining began. The
Journal of the Franklin Institute for
1838 states that the first mining op
erations conducted by white men were
at the Mount Carbon mines, In Jack
son county, 111. These mines were
opened in 1S10 and worked to a small
extent for many years. The earliest
recorded production was In 1833, when
0,000 tons of coal Is said to have been
mined.—Detroit Free Press.

A CHANCE
You Should Act In Time
If you suffer from backache;
If you have headaches, dizzy

If tbe kidney secretions are Ir

Don'* delay—likely your kidneys
are sick.

Kidney rills.
Read the statement of this grate
ful user.
Mrs. D. Mason, 2715 East 0 St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "The first
symptom of kidney trouble in my
case was a. dull, heavy aching in
my back. My back got lam© and
weak and I had severe headachea
and dizzy spells. The kidney se
cretions were too frequent and dis
tressing In passage I always felt
tired and worn out. I tried a num
ber of medicines, but wasn't bene
fited until I used Doan'n Kidn«y
Pills. Two boxes entirely removed
the trouble."
