There seems to be some difficulty

There seems to be some difficulty
in the vicinity of Tin Cup and Pitkin
with regard to the County Commis-
sioners purchasing roads. 1t appears
that some three years ago the Com
missioners granted the citizens of Tin
Cup public road to Pitkln, and now
then the people Of Tin Cup advocate
the purchase of the Alpine toll road,
which in a very short time will be of
no use to the public at all, because
when the railroad is completed to
Pitkin, toe depot for supplies for Tin
Cup will be nearer and owe, much
better road. But there seems to be
some bullheadedneSs among the peo-
pie Of that fouris.ling camp; because
they seem to work on the rule ofwhen
81 say, here take it. don't take it,
but when l say, don't take it, why,
then, take it." We will just inform
the honorable board of County Com
missioners that if they are going to
buy every played out toll road in the
county they can strike up towards
Ruby, as we have never had the priv
ilege of a free road out of the camp
yet but now that the railroad is ad-
vancing on us, we deem it a useless
expenditure to purchase road run
ming along side of a railroad track, as
the Ohio creek toll road does, but
then the road from here to Crested
Butte is of vast importance to us, and
if the County Commissioners have got
any loose change to throw away for
useless toll roads we advise them to
buy ours. which is of some use.
We think the Tin Cup people very
foolish not to want direct road to
the county seat, and also to their near
est prospective railroad point. Every
body knows that Joe Cotter owns the
Garfield Banner, and it was right
laughable to see how his editor went
for him for the communication in the
Meas Democrat, signed Tin Cup,
advocating the road from Tin Cup to
Pitkin.

The Blue Bird has three shafts near
nlnety-hve feet deep; the lead is
about FIVE feet in width. The mineral
is IN three separate bands, the aggre
gate width twelve to fourteen inches.
The ore is brittle silver and high
grade galena.-Canon mining Gazette.
We do not know where our able
contemporary obtained this informa-
ton, and while we recognize the fact
that the above paper is always willing
to give reliable news about our camp
we do not want to be misrepresented.
The Blue Bird has only one shaft
nlnety-hve feet, instead of three, in
every other respect, however, the
Item is correct, and the Blue Bird IS
one of our pets, inasmuch as it has
been transformed into a full f1edged
mine this spring from a prospect hole
last fall. This IS the result of persis-
tent work this winter. The Gazette
was mlsinformed as to the amount of
work which is liable to occur with the
most of us.

SAMUEL P. SPENCER, Eso.-Dxy
Sir We, the undersigned voters of
irwin, do most respectively ask that
you permit us to use your name as
candidate for Clerk and Recorder, at
the election to be held on the 4th
day of April. We most firmly believe
you the choice of the people, and
that your opponent: Crow, received
the nomination Saturday night by at
least 1o fraudulent votes being cast
for him. The facts are substantially
as follows: Upon the first ballot Spen-
Ger received S. votes, Crow Is and
Malcolm IS, total OF 185 votes, up
on the second ballot, Spencer receiv-
ed 100 votes and Crow 1o4, a total of
2o4. A vote was Immediately taken
FOR attorney which resulted in I'D
votes being cast. Now any one who
was present at the convention is well
aware that the number of votes did
not fluctuate as the above figures
show, the fact is the full strength of
the convention was shown on the
first ballot. Malcolm Withdrew IN
favor of Spencer and it isevident that
upon the second ballot Spencer re-
ceived IS Of Aalcolm'sas vote, max

Yillet Rose, of the Sampling works,
arrived home on Monday, bat will
return in a few days to New York on
important business. On his way out
he stopped in Washington one day
and saw Senator Hill in relation to
our reservation bill. Mr.. Hill says
that in a very few days he will get the
bill through the Senate, when Belford
will Immediately take hold of it for
passage through the House, and will
also urge the matter as Mr.. Belford
seems as much ANXIOUS to have it set
tied as he does.
AS a great many have misconstrued
the exact meaning of this measure, we
will give the true import of the bill
as introduced and amended by Sen
ator Hill, which is that the entire Ute
Indian Reservation be declared open
for settlement and thai all entries,
settlements or locations, heretofore
made under any law Of the United
States, upon strip Of land extending
not exceeding ten miles in width, in
that part of the Reservation bounded on
the east by the 10th meridian, shall
legally date from the time they were
made, i. e., all mineral Or agricultural
lands west of this ten miles will have
to be relocated from the date of the
passage Of this bill: but all mineral or
agricultural locations east of this ten
mile line, will hold good from the
time located, and titles can be per-
fected from the date of location.

In reference to the Land Office cues.

In reference to the Land Office cues
ton wherein we spoke ola Mr.. Sheets,
of Durango, being appointed receiver
of this district, we acknowledge the
error made by us and hasten to correct
it. We took the item from the Gun
nison NeaOs-Demof,af which appeared
as special or press dispatch. 1t
should have appeared that MIR. Sheets
would be the receiver in the Office at
Durango which will be the new south
western district. At the time we were
Mortified to think that Durango
man would be sent here as we are of
the same opinion of the Pitkin Neaos
that there are plenty of good republi-
cans in this county amply qualified to
fill the office.

In tine appointment of Teller to the
Interior, we think it not only reflects
credit on the ability of Mr.. Teller, but
also on our young and growing state.
We think Mr.. Teller the most suit

ti6ed with our frontier country, and

Next Tuesday is the election for
the purpose of electing town officers
for the ensuing year. After the mass
convention last Saturday night, there
was considerable dissatisfaction, and
it, was thought at that time there
would be an opposition ticket, but
since the excitement has blown over
there can't be found enough citizens
that take any interest in the affair to
put themselves to- any trouble; People.
are inclined to believe that whoever
may be elected, the world will still
move on, and that we will be allowed
to do business here just the same. So
far there is no opposition candidate
for any office with the exception of
Spencer against Crow for clerk and
recorder. The ticket as nominated
meets with the appreciation of ALL.
with the exception of some dissatis-
faction. DR.. Forhan was re-non1in-
ated for mayor, there being no oppos-
ing candidate. Two of the old board
of trustees were re-nominated and two
new ones, and as far as the trustees 60
we think there is no dissatisfaction.
Messrs. Baney and Collins, who lave
served on the board the last year with
great acceptance were re-nomlnated.
Both of them are in business here and
have an interest in the affairs of the
town, and therefore a good choice.
Mr.. O. G. Schultz, is a young man
closely identified with the mining in
terests Of this district, and has since
the establishment of the town, by
close application gained reputation
for integrity, coupled with straight
forward business like principles. Mr..
Jacob Pressler is an old miner, having
worked around Georgetown and Cen
trail over. twelve years ago, and we
knew him some years ago on the Poca-
hontas mine, Rosita. He is the fore
man on the Forest Queen, and is
known for his sterling practical bust
ness qualifications. L. G. Crow, who
was nominated for clerk and recorder,
has been in business here since the
summer of 80 and is we'll known to
everybody. Poor "Pete" he is the
only candidate that has got opposi-
ton. ]. w. Skinner, who has held
the Office of treasurer by appointment
for the last year, was nominated by
reclamation, there being no opposing
candidate We can say for Brother
Skinner, that no better choice could
DC made. He has the faculty of at
tending to his own business and let
ting everybody elses alone, besides
he is amply qualified as to business
capacity and integrity. Up to going
to press, there is no opposing ticket,
therefore there will not be much ex-
element. 1t is astonishing that in
this town Of enterprise, there are not
enough ofice-seekers to get up two
tickets. The trouble is there is nc
money in holding Office here, and
the most of US are not here for 20
litical honprs, but for the purpose Of
advancing the prosperity of Gunnlson
county and its resources, and at the
same time try to better our financial
condition-more particularly the lat.
ter.

communication of the 9th inst, |

support and token of esteem rendered
me at the convention held on yatur-
day evening last, and also for The as
surance Gas expressed in your commu-
nicatlon) that had | received justice
at the convention | would undoubted-
ly have been the nominee for Clerk
and Recorder Of the town of Irwin.
After having thoroughly considered
the matter, based upon indisputable
evidence that fraud was perpetrated
at the convention IT the interest of
Mr.. Crow, l believe it to be duty
which owe to my friends, and to the
citizens of Irwin, as well as to myself,
to place my name in the field as an
independent candidate for Clerk and
Recorder for the purpose Of allowing
the citizens to decide on the day of
election whether Mr.. Crow or myself
is the choice Of the people for the
position. l would also state, that as
far as the other nominations are con-
cerned, l am in perfect harmony with
them, and that the contest is simply
between Mr.. Crow and myself. Had
| the least assurance that the ballot
which nominated Mr.. Crow was a
fair and just one, l most assuredly
would not place my name before the
citizens as an independent candidate,
as | am firmly opposed to boiling a
convention when the proceedings
have been conducted as they should
be, but as | have before stated, | am
perfectly satisfied that l was defraud-
ed of the nomination, and therefore
consider myself justified in running
as an independent candidate, assuring
the citizens, that IN the event of my
election, l will endeavor, to the best
of my knowledge and ability, to full
fiji the duties of the office in the in
terest of all. and to the welfare of the
