-.ia $lS-a-Te .-4 ia Osarka, Mda Springs, aw Ian. 22. There I a prospect that taere is to be a teal told boom in th Osarka, Semes rivaling those of Leadrille, Deadwood and Cripple Creek may be repeated, especially if the gold discovery recent ly made two and one half miles north of this place by J. G. Mease on his homestead ia his Three-Ply mine turns oat to be the bonanza upon more thorough derelopment than it appears to be now. Real gold has been discovered. Gold that one can see in the rock with the naked eye. Gold ore that the Govern ment assay office at Philadelphia says runs $18.60 per ton, with the as say certificate signed by the aasayer with a statement from the director of the mint. Rich enough by far to be worked at an enormous profit, with apparently countless tons of rock in , the ground where for thirteen years Mr, Mease, now seventy years old, has toiled in his tunnel in the ravine below his house as time and money would permit. The mine lies between two high mountains, a quarter of a mile from the Mease residence. From the house the path has been worn smooth and deep by thirteen years of travel back and forth by this persistent old man, firm in his faith that some day he would go down the hill in the morn ing a poor man and come back up at night rich beyond his fondest dreams. The gold is scattered through the rock in different places in very mi nute particles, being rarely discern ible. Mr. Mease terms it flour gold, free milling. Several times he has pounded up pieces of the rock very fine, he says, and panned it, getting a recovery in the bottom of the pan of flour gold mixed with particles of heavy sand, of which the rock is part ly composed. He further states that the gold is of a much higher grade than California gold. The character of the ore leads to the belief that it can be profitably treated with a simple stamp-mill. This is not the first discovery of gold in Marion and Baxter counties, in Arkansas, but the assays showed such small returns that commercial ly the ore had no value. In some in stances gold has also been found as sociated with iron ore and iron py rites in small quantities, but was not of commercial value because it could not be separated successfully because the per cent, to the ton was too small to pay. Except a few wild-catters, no one has ever looked for ,the richer min erals in the hills, the miners and pros pectors devoting all their time and re search of the prospecting for and mining of lead and zinc. There are legends, however, that have been handed down year after year from father to son that tell of gold in the hills, of Spaniards mining here in the early days and of mines known to the Indians. These have been regarded for the most part as mythical. It may be possible that the cave in which Mr. Mease started his tunnel was the working of some Spaniard and that by chance he discovered a location that had been worked for gold before. Aid Non-Commissioned Officers From .-Islands. Washington, Jan. 22. Regulations which it is hoped will allay grievances of non-commissioned officers in the Phillippines who reached that rank in their own regiments, but who if they should re-enlist in another regiment in the United States after their en listment has expired in the Philip pines would cimply be privates, are forthcoming from the War Depart ment. According to the Secretary there has been considerable dissatis faction among non-commissioned of ficers in the Philippine service be cause of the fact that when they re cruited in another regiment in the United States they have to do so as privaes. They cease to be non-commissioned officers the instant they en ter another regiment. "We are going to correct this by regulations so as to continue the non commissioned officers in regiments in this country." Secretary Garrison has informed Representative Anthony, of Kansas. "Those who have been DO YOU Receive Piedmont Interest Checks? IF NOT, WHY NOT? IIS A SIGN OF PROSPERITY. YOUR NEIGHBORS UNDERSTAND. uncommissioned officers in the Phil pplnea will be brought over here and . I ! I JB.- iitacneu as non-commiwoiwi vowr u,d their places taken by others. his does not require legislation. We Are going to exchange sergeants." "As for the permanent stationing f regiments in the Philippines, Sec retary Garrison says it ia saving of aoney to the Government. "I don't , hink it is detrimental to the health , vf the men for their three years or .o the officers" he declared?. "It saves ;ravel and the permanent stationing f those regiments in the Philippines is saving money to the government." Smallpox Scare Leads to Clerk's Vae einatlo. Altoona, Pa., Jan. 22. Officials and clerks in the Pennsylvania Laboratory Building here were much relieved to day wl m they found that what had at first been diagnosed at smallpox waa only measles. A clerk in Master Mechanic J. C. Mengle's office became ill and skin eruptions on his body led the attending physician to pronounce bis ailment smallpox. Doors were locked and the one hun dred or more men detained until their clothing could be fumigated and the suites disinfected. Some clerks were escorted to a doctor's office and vac cinated. Today it was found that the cause of the scare had only a bad case of measles. President Does Not Consider Draft of Bills Was FinaL . . Washington, Jan. 23. The anti trust legislative program as outlined in bills made public yesterday is not the last word in proposed remedial legislation to regulate big business, That the tentative measures submit ted may be altered or extended was emphasized today in both branches of Congress, and the President let it be known that he did not consider that the forms of the bills drafted were final. Pursuant to the purpose of admin istration leaders to exhaust the sub ject. it was determined by the House Judiciary and Senate Interstate Com merce Committees not to introduce at this time the measures relating to prohibition of interlocking director ates, defininitor.s of restraints of trade and specification of "cut throat" competition. Hearings on questions are to be held before the bills go to Congress. The Interstate Trade Com mission bill introduced yesterday will be taken up by the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, which they may see fit to alter the provisions suggested by the Judici ary Sub-Committee and Senator Newlands, chairman of the Senate In terstate Commerce Committee. The fifth of the proposed bills, that to authorize federal regulation of rail road securities, probably will not be drawn for several weeks. As a basis for this measure, however, a bill in troduced some time ago by Represen tative Adamson, of Georgia, prob ably will be taken. Plans for the hearing now are en gaging attention!. Representative Clayton has called a meeting of the Judiciary Committee tomorrow to fix a course of procedure. . When the Democrats of the Senate Interstate Commerse Committee met today to discuss the subject the suggestion was made that hearings should be conducted jointly by the House and Senate Committees in order to expe dite certain of the bills. Late today Representatives Clayton, Carlin and Floyd of the Judiciary sub committee conferred with Senator Newlands and other Democrats of the Interstate Commerce Committee, in eluding Senators Smith of South Carolina; Pomerene, Thomas, Myers Robinson, Saulsbury and Thompson "We are exchanging views," sair Representative Carlin later; "going over the bills studiously with a view to determining where they may b improved and to insure harmoniou: action upon any changes that may tx suggested." Members of both committees, afte discussing the question of making th bills party measures through caucu action, expressed the hope that i would not be necessary to hand them in this way. In this connectioi del ator Newlands j-i' ted out that ; minority members wirid be give opportunity to participate ia deiibes ations on the bill at hearings an. through utnsultaton wuh the com mittees. Another joint conference of the House and Senate Committees will U . , t A. neia tomorrow. - Exports of United States Show In crease. Washington, Jan. 22. The foreign commerce of the United States in the calendar year 1913 approximated one and three-quarter billion dollars of imports and two and one-half billion of exports. The imports of the eleven months ending with November were 1,609 million, and should the Decem ber imports equal those of November, the total for the full year would be $1, 756,000,000. The exports of the eleven months ended with November were 2,251 million, and should the De cember exports equal those of Novem ber, the total would be $2,497,000,000. This estimate would make the excess of exports over imports approximate ly 740 million dollars. ' The figures of exports and of ex cess of exports over imports will ex ceed those of any earlier year. . The largest export in any preceding calen dar year was that of 1912, which showed a total of $2,399,21,7,933; and as the eleven months ended with No vember are 102 million in excess of the corresponding period of the pre ceding year, the estimate of approxi mately two and one-half billion for 1913 seems to be justified. The ex cess of exports over imports in the eleven months ended with November was 642 million dollars, and for the single month of November 97 million, thus apparently justifying the esti mate of 740 million excess of exports for the full year. -In imports, the total for 1913 will be less than that of 1912, but larger than that of any year preceding 1912. This decline in imports in 1913 is due in part in reductions in prices of cer tain articles mported. Whle the quan tity of sugar imported in the ten months ended with October exceeded that of the corresponding period of 1912 by 368 million pounds, the value of this larger quantity imported dur ing the 1913 period was 22 million dollars less than that of the corres ponding period of 1912. ' Coffee imports are much below the 1912 figures for the ten months ended with October ,1913, being 635 million pounds against 752 million in, the same period of last year and the value but 80 million dollars, against 104 mil lion dollars in the corresponding per iod of last year. Tea shows a fall in imports of one and one-half million dollars in value. Manufacturers' ma terials show, as a group, a decline of about five per cent, When compared with the corresponding period of last year, this being due, in part, to a re duction of prices and in some in stances, a reduction in quantity. . Im ports of crude rubber, for example, show for the ten months ended with October a reduction of a little over one million pounds in quantity, but a reduction of 16 million dollars in value. Copper imports show an in crease in quantity over the corres ponding period of last year, both in ore and in the group, pigs, bars, old and igots. Raw silk shows a marked increase in the quantity imported in 1913. Gamble fo ra Girl and Loser Skips With the Stakes. Rolette, N. D., Jan. 24. James and George Belnap, brothers and suitors for the same girl, played poker to der termine which should have a "clear way" to the girl's affections. James won and told the girl, Miss lessie Peltier, their method of selec ;ion. They arranged to be married. Whert James returned home, leorge was absent, but he thought lothing of it until morning when in estigation was made resulting in the liscovery that George, the poker ame loser, had eloped with the girl nd that they had gone to Canada. The parties live in the Turtle moun ain district. : Him Mtirgsf'. I WliMua Climbed Uj : : Shi;-'- s d... Vow v or. . ' . 1. Wi h a rr ut rr waint Hi Margaret WL Vi c!imied uj.
