SAY CHINESE MUST GO
-ARMY OF WOODSMX READY TO
MOBILIZE AT FORTCNA.
Humboldt County Mas9 Meetings Re
ject Compromise Offered by
the Canning Company.
EUREKA, Cal., Oct. 2 iA thousand
woodsmen from almost every camp In
Humboldt County are ready to convene at
Fortuna on a few hours' notloe and hun
dreds -of citizens from other walks of life
are ready to Join the army, if such Is
necessary to deport 27 Chinese who were
imported by the Starbuck-Tallant Can
ning Company at Port Kenyon last Satur
day. The workmen came from various
camps this evening in order that the en
tire forces could convene at Fortuna to
morrow morning if requested by a com
mittee of Fortuna citizens.
Mass meetings were held at Fortuna,
Eureka and other towns, and in Hum
boldt, last evening. At the meeting at
Fortuna the management of the cannery
was present for a while. The cannery di
rectors passed resolutions to the effect
that the Chinese would be chipped out at
the end of the season, never to return, if
permitted to stay a few months. The
compromise was rejected at all the mass
meetings throughout the county and res
olutions were passed that the cannery
must deport the Chinese Immediately. To
morrow a committee will meet at For
tuna and consider ways and means to
eject the Chinese.
' At a meeting at Eureka this evening it
was suggested that the supervisors be
petitioned to pass an ordinance prohib
iting seining in Eel River. This would
close the cannery. 9uch a method, how
ever, would work hardships on "Fortuna,
which engages in the fishing industry.
The feeling has become such that the
meet conservative say the Chinese will be
deported by the end of the week at the
outside.

HAS VACATION "OUTSIDE"
JUDGE ELMER R. BRADY, OF
FORTY MILE, ALASKA, IX CITY.
Says Gold Dredges Bid Fair to Bring
Neglected Mining District to
Front Again.
Judge Elmer R. Brady, United States
Court Commissioner for the Forty-Mile
River District, Alaska, is in the city at
the home of his family, 44S Union avenue.
Judge Brady is the only representative
of the Federal Government in a vast
territory. While the Forty-Mile country
was one of the first settled in Alaska, it
is little known to the outside world.
Judge Brady says, however, that it bids
fair to come to the front. It is situated
Just west of the international boundary
line and is adjacent to the famous Daw
son country.
Judge Brady's headquarters are at a
point on the Forty-Mile river known as
Steel Creek. This territory is one of the
oldest mining districts in Alaska, but is
difficult of access. The White river
country is rich in copper ore' and a num
ber of men are there working on pros
pects. A stream known as Walker's
Tore creek has been purchased by a syn
dicate of London capitalists, who are
represented n the field by Colonel Budd.
a noted mining expert and engineer. The
gold dust from this creek is noted be
cause of its high value. It sells, at $17
an ounce in the camp. A dredge will be
brought in this winter and will be set
up so as to begin operations in the spring.
If it Is a success the company Intends
to Install five more.
Two other mining companies are in
the field and each expects to install one
dredge this winter. It was reported re
cently that the Guggenheimers. of New
'ork. had bought a stream known' as
Chicken creek and expected to install a
number of dredges on it. According to
Judge Brady, the greatest drawback to
the country is the lack of an adequate
system of roads, but the Government
officials expect to furnish the territory
with a complete network of roads In the
next few years.
A railroad is no being buljt that will
pass through the Forty-Mile country and
give it an outlet to the coast.
The population of this Forty-Mile dlst
trict is about S0O and there is always an
abundance of supplies and provisions in
winter.
Judge Brady expects to leave for Los
Angeles In a few days, and after a visit
East will return to Alaska. This is his
first trip to the outside In several years.
