MUsKoGEE, I. T., Dee. 19.-The
Creek council at Okomulgee ordered
a recount OF the votes for principal
chief and elected Spioche chief by
thirtv-seven votes. He was duly in

of Office. The second chief who had
heretofore refused to take the oath on
account of the fraudulent count under
which Perryman was chosen was also
sworn in. This gives the Greek na-

other difficulty to the situation. A
large majority Of both the houses
favor Spioche.

A Fight Be.ween Bonanza Kings

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-[n the
OpLir mine election to-day there was
q bitterly contested fight between
Flood, who held the control, and
Sharon, who is anxious to possess it
1t was the most exciting scene since
the great Hale & Norcross fight in
1858, when shares of that mine rose
to SIS 600. The capital stock of the
Ophir is $lO,SoO, 900. The real fight
was to obtain possession of the mill
ing ore, in which all profits lay. Up
to this morning the general belief
was Sharon had captured the mine.
This was strengthened by the known
fact that Mccoy, married to Sharon's
neice, was going to vote his eleven
hundred proxies for Sharon's inter-
est. At midday the Nevada block
was surrounded by an eager crowd
anxious to learn the probable results.
Voting commenced at LOS p. m.
At 2:2O the vote stood Flood Al LIZA;
Morrow, representing Sharon's in
terest, 1851. Richardson, of the
Bank of California, holding Sharon's
certificates of proxies, appeared and
voted solid 47 los. This was offset by
w. H. Wright, who cast 1,46O solid
-otes fe- TIeed, ei-i"s hina tho VIC
tory with 5O,922 ~ against Sharon's
48, ,S55 (?). The State law calls for
seven trustees. BY mutual agree
ment four trustees were to go
to the winning side. They are
C.L. Weller. G. O'Conner, Charles
Fisher and r. H. Falls. Sharon's
trustees are A. P. Harmon. Morris
Schmidt and J. II. Dobinson. E. B.
Holmes was elected secretary. The
victory is credited to the energy of J.
L. Flood, son of the millionaire. He
says the policy of the company will
be to continue to work the lower lev
els in the hope of finding a new bo-
nanza and continue to search as deep
as it is possible to go. The secreta-
rvs report showed balance Ot cash
on hand Dec. 18th after deducting all
Indebtedness, of $500. The stock
sold today at twenty cash: seller ten
days.
Sharon's defeat is due to a mistake
or deceit. When the name of Homer
S. King, a mining broker, was
called on he produced the
firms proxy for 2,665 shares. The
Flood party Immediately reduced
this to ten, Producing 1855 shares of
actual stock. Three similar occur
rences followed. This gave to Flood
the game. for while Sharon held al!
the proxies Flood held the solid
stock. The verdict Is it is rough
deal on: Sharon. The contest cost
for the purchase of shares and proxies
over S25O,OOO. Out of a total of lOO,-
500 shares, all were voted but l272.
