Rod gers is a notable exception and has a real gold mine from which he has taken, and now exhibits, the yellow metal. Mr. Rodgers was In Americus yes terday, and a small bottle full nuggets of purest quality caused his friends to sit up and take notice as they never did before. The nuggets were fully tested James Frlcker & Bros, for the bene fit of the Missourians here who had to be shown. Mr. Rodgers who lives upon his farm eight miles from Americus, has just returned from a trip to Haralson county, up In the Mountain wilds of north G.-orgia, where he spent month with his sister. Together they own a eonsidlrable tract of land and literally walk upon golden sands. The presence of gold upon their do main has long been known, but lack of capital for developing the mines known to exist there has kept them from getting at their riches. The gold taken out already was by the very crudest methods. With a neighbor Mr. Rodgers built a trough and with this washed out a small handful of gold dust and nug gets, some of them larger than grains of corn—the pure stuff. Mr. Rodgers was told by this neigh bor that the gold vein ran through his land, and could It but be located the gold could bc^ taken out In pay ing quantities. Untold quantities of the precious metal are in the earth right there. Mr. Rodgers is greatly enthused at the result of his trip. He says Haral son county is a veritable Klondike, and expects yet to reap riches there from.

October 5.—(Spec ial)—Beginning Monday and contin uing through the week, registration will take place at the government land office in Pierre, S. D., for public lands in the Lower Brule Indian re servation, containing S6.560 acres of farming and grazing lands In South Dakota. The distribution will take place by lottery, and entries will be made October 20 and December 20. Each applicant Is required to appear at the Pierre land office in person and make affidavit that he is entitled to take public land under the provisions of the homestead law. Those successful In drawing farm must pay the government the apprised value of the land, in annual installments. The value is placed at from $1.25 to $4 an acre. This Is the first reservation of total of nearly 5,000,000 acres of government lands to be opened to settlement during the coming year. This great acreage is divided between the states of South Dakota, Idaho, Montana and Washington, and will provide homesteads for nearly 33,- 000’settlers. All of the tracts will be opened hy the lottery system. In addition to the Lower Brule opened today, the reservations, with their acreage include the follow ing: Yakima, Washington, 1,145,000 acres: Colville, Washington, 1,000,000 acres: Flathead, Montana, 1,000.000 acres, Blackfeet, Idaho, 500.000 acres; Cour d' Alona, Idaho. 310,000 acres; Lomhi, Idaho, 64,000 acres, and Rose bud. South Dakota, 835,000 acres. All of those lands will be divided into tracts, except in the Irrigation districts, where the homesteads will be limited to 40 acres each. The largest reservation, nt Yakima, Wash ington, consisting of 1,145,000 acres wll be disposed of under the homes ted, mineral and Irrigation acts. About 100,000 acres will be Included in the Irrigation project now being constructed by the government, and this will be disposed of In 40 acre plats. The settlers may pay the government the amount of money ex pended in building the irrigation plant, although the payments will be spread over a period of ten years. This will make the land cost the home seekers about $30 an acre. The Irrigated lands are used chief ly for sugar beet and alfalfa cu|turo, and are likely to be immensely pro fitable at tho price charged. Several months more will be required to complete the Indian allotment work in the big Rosebud reservation In South Dakota.
