Saturday quite a warm discussion arose IN rela-
tlon to the distribution OF supplies furnished by
the working miners In the orth part OF the county.

that the charges nad been started for malicious

distribution OF supplies is causing good deal OF
trouble, and much more may be expected when
the supplies begin 10 wane in quanuty ana regu-
