The meeting held here On Monday
night, for the purpose of discussing
more fully the plan Of being represent
ed at our Industrial Exposition. was
in perfect sympathy with Mr. Cotter,
and complimentcd him on the enter
prise and the deep interest he has
taken in organizing the entire county
for a tair representation. We think
that he deserves much credit for his
efforts in this matter and certainly de-
serves the hearty support of every
man interested in the welfare of the
county.

DR.. w. H. Kinney, of Easton, Pa,
who is at present in Denver, is ply
slcian of marked ability, and has be-
sides achieved an enviable reputation
as contributor to some of the lead
ing newspapers and magazines of the
country. DR.. Kinney was for several
years the surgeon and purser on one
OF the steamers of the Mallory South
American line, and all who have made
voyage with him will hold in CRATE
full recollection his many acts of kind
ness and generous hospitality. DR..
Kinney was passenger on the train
OF the Chicago & Alton railroad that
was recently wrecked, and byhis med
ical skill rendered most efficient ser
vice to number of injured parties.
He has some idea Of locating in Den
yer. and if he does, our community
will gain mos: genial, intelligent
and public spirited citizen.-Depyer
Republican.
This is the gentleman who is the
General Superintendent of the Lehigh
Valley mining, milling and prospect
ing company, whose properties are
situated in this camp. We trust he
will be as fortunate and successful in
mining operations as he is a physi-
c,an, and from personal observation
we think he has got the indomitable
viii and perseverance TO De such, at
any rate, ii he is not, it will be h.:
own fault, for his company have go.
the property to make success with.
We hope to have the pleasure Of see
ing the smiling face Of the little s.Ir,st
! Doctor" in camp before many days.

The weather in this country IS some
thing like life, very uncertain. Every
storm that we have had for the last
SIX weeks, we have prophecled that it
was the last one, but we propose now
to make no more prophecies, and the
weather has our permission to do just
what it pleaseS. However, we hope
that our people are cheered with the
consolation that this last snow will
help the old snow off that much faster.

POSITION MEETING.
Pursuant to announcement We at.
tended the meeting held at DR.. Cor.
nell's building last Monday night, 70,
the purpose of more fully organizing
and devising plans for good repre-
sentation at the Industrial Exposition,
to be opened in Denver on August
1st. On our arrival we found the hall
full of our mine owners and business
men, while Capt. Shurtleff occupied
the chair ard ]. E. Packard, secretary.
Speeches we're made and some little
controversy entered into. After
which it was moved and seconded
that 1t was the sense of the meeting
to disagree with the appo,ntmen;
of DR.. I. J. Fcrhan as member Of
the committee, and that he be request
ed to withdraw. Carried.
A committee was then appointed
consisting Of Messrs. E. NJ. Della
Vergne, Q. G. Schultz and G. N.
williamson to wait upon DR.. Forhan
and request HIM to resign. A motion
was then made and adopted, appoint
ing Thos Owens, O. G.. Schultz and
DR.. Cornell, a committee to select
ores that Shall be sent 10 Denver.
Mr.. Copley moved that an executive
committee be appointed, and Messrs.
Copley, Gore, ]. c. Brown, Defer
baugh and Phillips were the five ap-
pointed as the committee.
1t was then moved that Mcssrs.
Williamson, Wilder and DeLaTergne
be appointed finance committee.
Some little debate was then entered
into as TO what manner a man
should be selected to represent our
display in Denver. When the follow
ing motion was made by Mr.. Schultz
that one or more men should be
selected to 60 to Denver, the selec-
tien to be made by tie agreement of
the committees appointed at that
meeting and the committee appointed
at the meeting held CT the 10th ult. +,
with the understanding that DR.. For
han withdraw from that committee.
E. S. Brooks and Capt. Townsend
were appointed on tie committee for
coal with Ira Brown. s. S. Metzler
was appointed on petroleum.
A motion was then made requesting
the PILOT to publish the proceedings
Of the meeting.
The meeting then adjourned, sub
ject to the cali of the executive COM
mittee.
The camp was we'll represented and
the actions Of the previous meeting,
at which Mr.. Cotter was present were
fully endorsed, provided DR.. Fo.han
would resign from the committee.
The people all seemed to appreciate
Mr.. Cotter's efforts in organizing the
county, and the the idea prevailed
that everyone should do all they posi-
bly, could to assist him in his labors.
We dare say that the people are fully
aroused to the importance the EX-
position will be to our camp and the
state in general, from the very fact
that visitors from ali over the country,
will have an opportunity to see the
grandest display of minerals of all
kinds ever exhibited, which is the
chief industry of our state.

LATEST REPORT FROM THE
PICK AND SHOVEL.

Great activity in working assess
ments will soon be the order of the
day. While doing your work be sure
and get the full amount done. 1t is
better to do S11o worth of work than
500. 1t will not hurt your claim to
do too much work. and it may save a
lawsuit and probably blood-shed.

THE SOUTHWARK CUT THE TIoGA
Sometime ago we made mention OF
the blind lead discovered in the We
mango workings and to which Mr..
copley gave the name Of the Tioga
vein. When discovered, from its size
and richness. it was thought to be
more valuable than the Venango,
which has always been considered one
of the richest mines in camp. OF
course, when a new discovery Is made
in any camp, there is always great
strife tor the extensions, and there
were three or four different outfits,
who worked day and night in Elk
basin, looking for the Tioga vein ex-
tension. Mr.. Edward O'Connor, one
of our deputy surveyors was a member
of one of these prospecting outfits,
and getting permission from Mr.. Cop
ley to go into the lower workings OF
the Venango, where the Tioga crosses
that vein, he set lis instrument up,
got the correct course of the vein,
came out and run outside of the
Tioga end lines, then took his bear
ings and located q place to commence
to sink for the. VEN, right near the
bed Of the escreels. To make a survey
Of this kind and strike n ght square on
top of a blind lead. is what We would
call a fine piece Of engineering skill,
and that is just what Mr.. O'Connor
did. When work was commenced it
was known that they would have to
60 through wash, but just how far no
body knew. Some predicted that if
the vein was struck, 200 feet of wash
would have TO be gone through. At
any rate the parties worked persistent
ly and at depth OF only thirty feet,
a few days ago, the vein was cut, just
as well defined as it is found in the
Venango workings, which is acknowl.
edged beyond a doubt, by all VINO are
acquainted with the country and have
gone to look at the prospect. At
present the workmer arc at work next
to the hanging wall, not having cut
the foot wallssyet, therefore the. width
of the vein at this point, cannot be
determined. Much credit is due Mr..
O'Connor for his engineering skill in
this discovery, and the owners will no
doubt open up good paying NINE
in the Southwark before the summer
Is over.

Mr. Poe enters the field at the urgent solicitation of friends in various portions of the state, and will place his name before the state democratic convention sub ject to the action thereof. He is thoroughly qualified to discharge the duties of the office to which he as pres, and in proof thereof refers to many of the leading state officials. ana to any of the lawyers of White, Faulkner, Conway, Searcy and Van Buren counties. In consequence of pressing business engagements, Mir. Poe will be debarred the pleasure of making personal canvass of the state, and asks careful and favor. able consideration of his claims at the hands of his friends everywhere. He is a genuine, 'true blue" dem ocrat and in favor of the resubmis. sion of an amendment similar to that of 1880. We take great pleasure in thus briefly submitting the claims of Mir. Poe to the voters of Pope county and Western Arkansas, be- speaking for him their calm consid- eration. Let the voters of this coun- ty remember Mir. Poe when giving instructions to the delegates to the state convention.
