NOTHING TO STORY OF
STRIKE IN CHISANA
That pay was not found on Notch
creek and Foley creek as reported is
made clear by the following state
ment received this morning by mail
from one of the supposed discovery's:
“A brief account of the doings of
the camp might interest you now,
although we are passing through a
period of inactivity, due principj-iy
through the lack of machinery to
properly prospect the different
creeks, which are both deep, and wet.
Some of the best looking creeks in
the camp have feeders that carry
good pay. Wilson creek, for instance,
the second largest in the camp, has
not been bedrocked on account of
water, and it has three creeks Mowing
into it that are good producers, Rig
Eldorado, Gold Run and Glacier
creeks.
“After this camp was struck in 11*13
people rushed in and staked ground
everywhere, mo.»t of them did a little
surface digging, just enough to hold
the ground, while a few did under
take to prospect, but in nearly every
case where systematic prospecting
was carried on they were eventually
forced to quit on account of water. The
discoverers of the camp, by chance,
struck the only shallow diggings, and
as the best ground so far discovered,
is above timber line, and frozen, you
can readily see that the prospector
without means has much to contend
with, as wood cost from $35 to $45
per coni landed.
“I expect to spend part of the wint
er over on Notch creek, and Foley
creek, where I have several interests,
and where that supposed rich strike
was made last spring. I worked there
during last March and April, along
with four other men. We found pros
pects at a depth of about 80 or 85
feet but nothing to justify such a re
port. We still have faith in the
creek and are willing to spend the
winter there, to try and reach bed
rock. We may probably reach bed
rock there some time in December,
provided we are equipped to handle
the water, which has been the only
drawback.”

THOMAS A. EDISON
OUT KICKS HENRY FORI)
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—In a high
kicking match at their hotel the other
afternoon, in which Vance C. Mc
Cormick, chiarman of the Democratic
national committee, acted as referee,
Thomas A. Edison, aged 69, out
kicked Henry Ford, aged 53, by seven
inches.
Mr. McCormick tells the story or
the two skittish young colts. It all
! started over Mr. Ford guying Mr.
Edison over his milk diet. At every
meal the electrical wizard boils a
! glass of milk, then when it cools oil
adds sugar and drinks it. Mr. Ford
is a more substantial eater, and he
i undertook to tell Mr. Edison that
j there were no bone or muscle making
1 qualities in boile.i milk.
_ _.
‘ Maybe not, saul Mr. hdison calm
ly, and then pointing to a chandelier
in the middle of the room he added:
“Can you kick that?”
Mr. Ford said he would try, and
did try. In half a dozen chances the
nearest he came was seven inches
from the chandelier. Mr. Edison then
rose, shot his right toe skyward and
i touched the chandelier with ease.
“1 never saw two such men in my
life,” said Mr. McCormick. “They
•act like a couple of kids. When they
weren’t kicking around and guying
I one another they were making paper
aeroplanes and hurling them through
the air. They are just a couple of
youngsters in their leisure moments.”;

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
TO BET ON WILSON
NEW YORK, Oct. 16. — The an
nouncement that betting on the Presi
dent election had been forced to 10
to 7 on Hughes Saturday afternoon
brought out literally hundreds of
j thousands of dollars on Wall Street
! this morning to bet on Wilson at those
odds. One prominent brokerage firm
announced at the opening of the stock
exchange this morning that $100,000
had been placed with it to bet on the
re-election of President Wilson at the
odds of 7 to 10. None of the money
I had been taken at noon, most of the
Hughes supporters asked for even
money.
^ The odds of 10 to 7 were establish
i ed Saturday by the announcement
made just before the closing of the
stock exchange that $7,000 had been
put up on Wilson against $10,000 on
Hughes. Earlier it had been reported
on the curb that prevailing bets were
at even money. The announcement of
the bet was followed by other smaller
bets at 7 to 10. A few small beti
were made at those odds this morn
ing. It was also announced on the
stock exchange that bets were made
both Saturday and today at even
money.
The remarkable feature of the situ
ation is the appreciable increase of
