The season is stormy and backward

will open up in the camp lively, as the
snow receedes the miners and prospec-

prospecting above timber line, but
many of those who located claims last
fall are going into the rock with vim
and large numbers are showing good
paying mineral. The paying quality
is sufficient already to warrant that this
camp will become one of the principally
mining camps of the state, perhaps
ere the coming winter approaches.

adjacent to the valley and ore can be

success all the year.
Maysville is not yet very extensively
known outside of the camp from the
fact that most if not all the discoveries

they are not quite ready to commence

STRAIGHT Democrat Ticket.

Some one asks for straight demo
cratic ticket. 1t is no use friend, you
can't make it work There is not
enough democrats in Adair county de-
voted to principle to enable your propo-
sition to meet with any serious consid-
Grafton. We admire the honesty and
pluck Of the man who desires to stand
by his principles, positively refusing to
fuse or coalesce with party advocating
different ideas from that which his own
party advocates, yet as before said there
are not enough such democrats in Adair
county.
They prefer fusing with greenbaek-
ers. OF running Independent, or begging
the question in any way to coming out
like men and standing upon the princi-
nles which they profess to love so much.
Talk is cheap, but we do not believe
,herc is grlt enough IN the democratic
marty Of This county 10 bring Out a
..,.z;cht ticket, ald stand by it. Time
will prove whether our opinion is Cor
rect or not.

At the meeting of the central com.

to have a delegated convention, and it
was recommended that the delegates 60
uninstructed. We very much doubt
the wisdom of this action, and fear the
way is left open for a great deal of dis
satisfaction and that it is not what we
want, but unity of action, ard in order
to get that we insist that every republi-
can turn out to the primaries and see
to it that your best men-men whom
YOU can trust at all tunes are chosen as
delegates. With unity of action we
can carry this county by five hundred
majority. Let US have unity.

Although politically diametrically op-
posed to Col. Wm Hatch, it is with
pleasure we refer to him as the repre-
sentative Of the 18th congressional dis
trict- He seems to have worked earn
esay for the interests of the district
generally, and has SHOWN himself to be
a man without those petty personal
animosities, and that narrow partizan
view which characterize some members
of his party here, both In high positions
and in those less exalted Col. Hatch
deserves credit, and We freely accord it
to him These remarks are called forth
by the action Of Col Hatch, regarding
our soldiers reunion. He went to
work earnestly and did what he could
to further the matter. and the soldiers
fully appreciate his labors.

1t Is strange what propensity some
persons have for whiting, there are
boys-some of them six feet high, who
cannot stop beside post, fence, OF
even the corner Of wooden building
without whipping out their jack knives
and listlessly cutting away upon the
nearest thing they can reach. Some
do it thoughtlessly and some malicious
ly. Now this is a species of vandalism
that is outrageous, and shameful.
They have already began upon the new
fence in front of the N. E. church, as il
it had been put there on purpose for
them to whittle as they lean lazily
against it and watch the corners and
goers. For shame boys don't do that
any more. If You must whittle, buy
you an armfull Of pine sticks and whit
tie your own property.

The Nomination.

Prehablya al 20 time since the surren.
der at ARpona.01 had there been sacl
a generaIand intesse feeling of inter.
est as existed among the people ire.
spective Of party or occupation, during
the last three days cf the work # the
republican, ccnvea6en at Chicago.
Democrats listened with batea irxth,
honing that blunders might be made
SUCH as would enable them to slide into
power. While republicans, although
having cofdence in the wisdom of the
convention, felt nervous and fearful ot
the result Every telegraph Office was
crowded zith an1iens news gatherers.
Some Of the aged veterans of the party,
who had been taking ittle active inter
est. had started on their read to Caica-
go to give the leaders the benefit of
theN counsel But whea Wisconsin
made fee break for Garfield Solioxed by
Iowa. Indiana and Maine, there vas a
general feeling ofrelief and when tthe
newswas flashed through theicre 9Th md
breadth of the country, that Garfield
had been neninated, cheeer after
cheer rang out frsn hundreds of thous-
ands Of throats and republicans became
wild with enthusiasm. No better selec-
ton could hasebeen made. Gen. James
A. Garfield is the peer Of any man in
the aation- He Is 4 RGes, scholarand
statesman He VIII unite an the con
tending factions and carry the full
strength Of the repubiieaz vete, thing
taat neither Grant, Blaine, Sherman or
Edmunds could have done.
The republican party is a party of
culture and progress. Gen. Garfield is
the embolIznert of both, and is as sure
to lead the party to victory as the Sec
ond Of November comes. Then three
cheers and a tiger for Gen. James A.
Garfield the next president of the

over - .niles long Our contract lay
On the east azd west sides Of the Denver
Paci6c Ralread. about ten miles north
of Greeley and about sixty-fre from
Denver. We had to camp out, eat in
a shed 10x12 that some pre-emptr had
put up, or eat out Of dsefs Just rs /,
suited. Our work lay about nine miles
on each side Of the road
say four east and five on the west side
and we had to walk that distance for
the pleasure of getting to work. Had
to walk back at night for the fun oil

with head Of water 6122 feet they
have natural lakes that it runs through

OF these at certain heigth they run
over and in case of necessity they can
roise the gates and drain the lakes, in
case there is break in the
canal These lakes form a resiyGr, as
it were In the nine miles that we
worked on there are two of them they
are very large covering perhaps 300
acres. This ditch is calculated to irri-

worthless They run lateral bitches in
all directions, at each of these they put
up what they call fume with head
gate they four feet wide and six feet
high, sixteen feet long, have a gate
made water tight they raise it and let
the water in these laterals. They have
numerous small bitches say 8x10 inches
this makes what they call 50 inches and
is calculated to iIriGate so acres of land,
and each owner of land to get this
privilege must pay the company eight
hundred dollars, in instalments of two
