NEW STUMP PULLER M ILL
REDUCE COST OF CLEARING.
SEATTLE, Jan. 17.—A new stump!
pulling device, by which the cost of
clearing land can be greatly reduced,
has been invented by E. K. Kirsten,
assistant professor in the electrical
engineering department of the Univer
sity of Washington.
The new stump puller is stationary
and has this advantage over older
machines: Ten acres can be cleared
without moving the new puller. The
machine consists of a bell shaped
drum, a long cable and a long steel
arm. A stump is shaved down until
it will allow the drum of the machine
to fit over it. This is used as an
anchor from which the cable is at
tached to the stump that Is to be
pulled. A long steel arm is attached
to the drum and horses are hitched
to the arm. The cable tightens as the
drum is turned by the horses and in
the end the stump is pulled from the
ground. The pulling power of the
horses can be multiplied to any de
sired amount by increasing the length
of the arm.
Professor Kirsten has used the new
device on his own Pierce county farm
and finds that it works well. The ma
chine is simple and does not have to
be moved about continually, as do
many of the older machines. It will
cost about $75 when placed on the
market.

There died at Los Angeles, Cal., re
cently a man who may be remembered
by early Klondikers. He was J. B,
Barber, and he was the man who
brought the first linotype into Daw
son, in the winter of 1901-2. The ma
chine was for the Dawson News, and
was brought in via Whitehorse by
sled. It was considered quite a feat
in those days.

A RICH 8TRIKE MADE IN
PORT WELLS DISTRICT.
What Is purported to be one of the
richest gold quartz strikes made In
this part of Alaska Is reported from
the head of Pigot bay. in Port Wells,
and reliable mining man substantiate
the claim of Chris Peterson, the lo
cator.
This strike was made in December,
since which time the discoverer has
been doing surface work on the pro
perty, which Is showing up well under
development. Charles Larson is the
fortunate associate of Mr. Peterson
in the new strike, and plans are now
under way for Its extensive develop
ment. Kich float had been discovered
by a number of prospectors, who had
been unsuccessful in finding the
ledge, hut the locator being a thor
ough and persistent prospector suc
ceeded.
The property Is about one mile from
the head of Pigot bay, and situated ad
vantageously for economical mining.
It consists of a ledge varying from 18
inches to five feet in width, trace
able on the surface for fully three
thousand feet. The ore la sprinkled
with gold and galena and from tests
made it 1r believed the ore will plate
$20 per ton.
Mr. Peterson, who is one of the best
prospectors in the country, and very
reliable, feels that he is justified in
saying the recent discovery has the
best surface showing of an> iri which
he has been interested.
