FRANK SKEEN HAS FOUND
VERY RICH PROSPECTS
Ore at Afanaai Creek Shows Gold AU
Over That Can Be Panned Out
The new strike made by Frank
Skeen and Harry Johnson on Afanasi
creek is described by R. H. Koch as
remarkably good. Mr. Koch has re
turned from a trip during which he
visited the property and he brough*
home some specimens. He says that
a good showing can be found in every
pan right along the wall. What they
have uncovered so far shows a 12 or
15-inch lead in which the gold is vis
ible to the naked eye all over. The
owners are now working on it.
Both of them figure on going to the
Chickaloon where the new placer
strike has been reported. Mr. Koch
alsc met George Dreibelbis, Duncan
Little. Bell and Sampson who had
come from the Chickaloon and they
did not seem to be over favorably im
pressed with it. Bell is the man who
made the strike. It is believed that
he found something all right but that
on his second trip in he did not find
the ground so good. The real facts
about the strike, however, are not
very well known.
A report has come in from other
quarters that quite a stampede is now
going on to that place and that the
ground looks good but these repo-ts
are indefinite.

PLANS REPLY SHOWING UP
CONNECTION OF BOSS WITH
REDLIGHT DISTRICT
OYSTER BAY, July 29.—Theodore
Roosevelt has met the filing of the
suit for $50,000 against him by an
nouncing through his friends that he
is preparing a sizzling reply to Boss
Barnes in which he will expose fully
the connection of Barnes with the red
light district scandal two years ago.
According to his supporters the col
onel has secured facts against the
boss that will show he was just^ied
in his attacks on the character of
Barnes even before the suit for de
famation comes into court at all.
The suit promises to be one of the
most sensational in recent political
annals and will undoubtedly show up
more of the inner workings of New
Y’ork politics than has ever been
known before.
GAPING MOB SURROUNDS
HOME OF CAILLAUX
PARIS, July 29—Immediately after
the acquittal of Madame Caillaux of
the murder of Editor Calmette of the
Figaro she and her husband returned
to their city residence which was at
once surrounded by a gaping mob.
The people stood in crowds around
the front of the building and stood
gaping as if they could see something
of the deepest interest in th- rtoncs.
Nothing which has happened during
the course of the trial could show
more cleartJly the- intensity of the
feeling created among the people oi
this city.
Some hostile demonstrations were
attempted by the opponents of Cail
laux but they were suppressed by the
police. The enemies make the charge
that Madame Caillaux was sived by
the action of a partisan judge. She
herself gave out no statement after
the verdict and it is thought that ihe
and her husband wilk leave Paris for
some quiet retreat in the country.

due to accumulated gases.
GARRISON FIRES BOALT
OUT OF VERA CRUZ
WASHINGTON, July 29.—Secre
tary of War Garrison ordered the de
portation of Fred Boalt from Vera
Cruz today, having found on investi
gation that the stories sent out by
Boalt were untrue.
Boalt formerly worked on th“
Seattle Star and went to Mexico as
the correspondent of the United
Press. He sent out stories to the ef
fect that the United States troops
had executed Mexican refugees. Ho
was arrested and ordered deported
but was set at liberty pending an in
vestigation of his case. He tried t >
put the blame for the story on a
U. S. naval officer but after a careful
examination of the facts the secretary
of war has decided that there were no
grounds for the yarn and Boalt must
go.

Rev. Dr. Wm. 0. Waters, Episcopal
minister of Chicago, and his son ar

visit. The doctor is said to have
brought the news that the wrife ar.d
family of Lieut Mears of the railroad,
commission are about to take a house
in Seward for two years. This state
ment was not received directly from
the doctor but the medium through
w’hich it came is a most reliable one.
Paul Buckley and Harry Ellsworth
will leave tomorrow morning for
Crow creek and the Turnagain Arm
country to look over the section.
William Devine is about to pay a
visit to the Skeen-Johnson mine on

States in Murderous Celebrations
TOLEDO, July 29.—Thirty people
were killed in this city yesterday by
the explosion of a lot of fireworks
which were about to be used in cele
bration of a festival. A remarkable
circumstance connected with the acci
dent is that most of the people killed
were decapitated so that the sight
could hardly have been more shock
ing. Fifty others were injured terri
bly and some of the injuries are of
such a kind that death would be pre
ferable.
