County POLITICAL NOTES.

County POLITICAL NOTES.
The Lincoln Republican club is
showing signs of revivication and
promises to be potent agent for good
in the campaign. At the meeting held
Tuesday evening it was determined to
organize a first class glee club: put
local speakers in the field; organize
clubs in every precinct in the county
and do everything needful to inculcate
pure Republication. A general meet
ing Ct the club with music and speeches
will BE- held soon.
julius Steinmeyer Nampa's popular
Republican candidate was at Caldwell
yesterday. Mr.. Steinmeyer thinks the
outlook for his nomination is very IA
sorab]e and everybody believes that
oetter or stronger man could not be
olt up. THE TRIBUNE will be highly
pleased to see the gentleman's name on
he Republican ticket. He will honor
aid strengthen 1t,
1t is understood that the primary
election in Payette will be holly coli
tested. Rumor has it that the Moss
Ireton- Johnson forces will contend
with the Richards Ryder Keegan bat
talioas. 1t will be a pretty fight and
the issue is somewhat doubtful.
Payette claims to have raised $21,-
600 Of the $4,000 offered as a bonus
for a county seat enterprise. 1t is sug-
gested that the whole county be cut up
into seats and sold to ambitious towns
at moderate price per setting.
Clerk Keegan is quietly but surely
entrenching himself. His fences are
all in good order and his excellent rec
ord gives him every hope of outstrip-
ping all competitors.
A. Meachem, of Emmett, has con.
sented at the solicitation of Of friends
to permit his name to 60 before the
Republican convention as an aspirant
Probate Judge.
Col. Stearns considers himself as well
as elected. He is now praoticing on
holding up his right hand in graceful
and imposing manner preparatory to
taking the oath of office.
Prominent Republicans are taking
steps to do something handsome by
the Caldwell brass band. The band
must be locked after.
A. B. Moss, of Psyette, has been
mentioned as possible candidate be-
fore the Republican convention for
commissioner.
A. E. Gipson and George Little are
in the race for Probate Judge on the
Republican side. Two good men.
Sheriff Ireton is making a strong
pull for Republican nomination as as
SCISSOR. He has a large following.
A. C. McDonald's name will be
presented for the consideration of the
Republican convention.
Dug. Knox, of Emmett, is likely
candidate for District Clerk on the
Democratic ticket.
The general sentiment is that Chair
man Gwinu will be called on to accept
denomination.
Judge Jenkins appears to be leading
for place on the Populist ticket as
county assessor.
w. G. Dunbar seems to be popular
aspirant for the the clerkship on the
Populist ticket.
P. A. Devers is leaving no stones un-
turned and feels confident of success.
Today's primaries will be lively but
in Caldwell.
Middleton's county seat fight is
gathering momentum.

Chas. F. Shelby, of the Shelby hop
farm was in Caldwell Thursday. He
showed US q sample of as fine hops az
ever was raised, the color and aroma
is perfect. The gentleman informed
US that 10000 pounds would be shipped
to New York Friday, yesterday, There
was no trouble whatever in securing a
market as the hops was of such a quail
ity that it readily sold itself. The
Shelby people now have 40 acres in
hops and will increase to 80 acres for
next season. Ex-Governor b. F. White
is preparing 40 acres of his ranch for
hops and will put in plants in the
spring. Fred j. Kiesel will put in so
acres and it is said that Ex-Governor
Thomas and P. H. Lannan, both of
Salt Lake City, will put out a consider
able area. Thus the hop industry
promises in an almost incredible short
time to become one Of the leading in.

Down IN Washington county the
Populists have introduced a novelty in
to their county platform in the way of
an economic measure. The county
convention took the law in their own
hands, so to speak, and set aside the
statutes and the constitution. In the
matter of salaries of county officers,
the convention fixed q maximum COM
pensation and pledged all the nominees
to accept no greater sum for their ser.
vices, if elected. No sensible man will
take any stock in that kind of a pro-
ceeding, besides, it is a direct BRIDE.
Everybody knows that there is no way
of enforcing the purpose of the con-
vention and everybody knows that hu-
man nature has not yet arrived at that
stage of magnanimity where officers
will refuse to take every cent the law
allows. Such bids as that for votes
ought not count. If the salaries OF
officers are too high. the law should be
changed not set aside. The play of the
Washington county Populists is, how
ever. simply catch-vote trick and will
not deceive anybody.

BY READING the announcement OF
the people of Middleton, made in an.
other column of The TRIBUNE, it will
be seen that our neighbors are fairly
engaged in the county seat fight. They
propose to locate it at Middleton if il
can be done. In taking this step, it
must be admitted and fully recognized
that they are simply exercising an in-
alienable right. Any town that can
get the county seat by the SURFACES of
voters is legally and morally entitled to
it. Whether or net Middleton is the
proper place for its location, must be
determined by the electors themselves.
All that we care to say at this time is
that in casting their votes, people will
do well to exercise their reason and
Judgment. They should be wholly un-
influenced except by motives Of public
good.

]. L. Nelson Saloon.

Connected with the history OF the
camp may be mentioned Mr.. J. L. Mel
son, a resident of the territory for the
past eleven years and one of the first to
enter the saloon business in the camp.
Mr.. Nelson is still an active mining
man, and is rapidly developing his gold
claims in Minnesota district, not far
west from here. The recent assays are
wonderfully rich, the last going 80
ounces of silver and 1000 ounces OF gold
to the ton. This promises to be one
of the liveliest camps in the territory
in the near future.

people imagine it to be.
The Work in Progress,
Now few words for the mines and
what is being done in their develop
ment. The Denver capitalists who con-
troll the principal mines under the title
of the White Hills Mining company
have for their trustee a gentleman who
thoroughly understands his business,
as is evidenced by the systematic man
ner in which the work and develop
ment OF the mines are carried on. Be-
ing Colorado mining man of lifelong
experience, it is but natural that his eff

The White Hills Hotel,

The White Hills Hotel, owned and
operated by the W. H. Taggart Mercan-
tile company, is large frame building
of modern architecture, situated on the
north side of Main street, and with the
contemplated addition of ten rooms will
be large enough to accommodate any
and all visitors to the campfo for the next
few years. The rooms are large, light,
airy and clean, while the dining room
is as ueat as any in the territory. The
table is excellent, being supplied with
the best that the market affords. The
house has upward OF hundred board
ers, and under its present management
bids fair to hold it's own as one of the
best places for the traveller to stop.
The rates are most reasonable.

Free Coinage" Saloon.

This resort, formerly owned by Jas.
Boyd, is now the joint property of E. F i.
Thompson and Harvey Hubbs. Mr..
Thompson is the owner of the ELITE"
saloon in Kingman and has his home in
that town, while Mr.. Hubbs manages
the White Hills establishment. Mr..
Hubs was formerly proprietor of the
Hubbs House at Kingman, treasurer of
Mohave county and is at present one of
The partners in Mulligan & Hubbs'
saloon in Kingman. The long resi-
dence of the owners of the Free Coin
age" has won for them the respect and
good will OF its citizens.

been big producer in both horn silver
and chloride during the past year,
reaching the amount of $4,000. As
says have run from 400 to 400 ounces
in silver and 2 to ounces in gold.
About 35 men are now working this
property on leases, and big out-p put is
looked for in '94. Besides this mine,
Mr.. Patterson has several rich gold
mines in Gold Basin, about twelve
miles east OF White Hills.
The growth and development OF the
camp since its inception has been
almost phenomenal. A few years ago

Besides having the honor of being the
first white lady in the camp, Mrs. M. A.
Gillespie, proprietress OF the Lavita
House, is also we'll and favorab bly, known
throughout the southern portion of the
territory as having kept a boarding
house at the Silver King eighteen years
ago. To say that Mrs. Gillespie is prof
iting by her long experience in the Ca
tering and lodging business would only
be doiag her justice, as the neat, taste
full appearance OF her tables, dining
room and suites of apartments can tes-
tify. She is doing a rushing business
and employs none but white help. Her
rates are most reasonable and would
justify trial.

condition of the town is naturally per-

valley below the camp.
The water used at present is good,
but when the machinery is all in
and the new pump in running order,
the most excellent of water will then
be supplied throughout the camp. The
food consumed by the people is most
wholesome and in as great variety as
could be desired. Fresh beef is to be
had daily, as are also vegetables and
fruits of ali kinds in season. Living is

calculation OF oversight in surveying, a
gap ofN220 feet was left between Sh&ef-
fer's Treasurer and Grand Army. This
defect was soon discovered by G. ].

Among the first to arrive in camp was

and who located the Prince Albert
mine, view of which is given in one

The principal mines now being
worked are the Grand Army, Occident
and Horn Silver. Of these, the Grand
Army is the most important and valu-
able, carrying ore assaying as high as
5000 ounces in silver and 10 ounces in
gold. The average of the mines in sill
yer is about 400 ounces. Shafts are
down about 400 feet and miles of tun-

not be found in any town of ten times

Twiggs is better known as an authority
on mining matters and has some of the
best gold properties in the territory at

it to be very rich and in short time it
is the intention of Mr.. Twiggs to push
the development of his rich claim and
get what there is in it.

Mr.. Theo. Tarnow, one of the old
pioneers OF California and prominent
figure all over the coast, is now per-
manent resident of White Hills, having
entered the saloon business. He came
here in July, 1892, and the weather be-
Ing very dry and warm, he decided, out
OF pure charity for the ever thirsty
miner, to open an establishment which
ia in direct conflict with the law of dry
ness. Mr.. Tarnow is now reaping the
harvest from his former seeds of
charity.

There are at present about $50 men on
the company's pay roll, all of whom are
receiving regulation wages. This
amounts to about $4,000, distributed
among the mel each month. As fast as
the development OF the various proper
ties require, more men will be added.
Besides all these men working for the
White Hills company, about 100 more
are employed within radius of a mile
from the camp on leased properties,
which are returning handsome divi-
dends on the white metal in spite of
the fact that silver is down to the very
dregs of the financial thermometer
60 cents.
A few words now in reference to the
road from Kingman and transportation
facilities would not be amiss.
Leaving Kingman in one of the old
fashioned. but comfortable stage
coaches of the Arizona Stage company,
as here produced by illustration, few
miles of mountain road is encountered
until the edge of the great Sacramento
valley is reached. This grand, fertile
valley, embracing hundreds of thou
sands of acres of the finest soil in the
world, is a silent monument to the cry
ing want of water storage.
Stretching for miles and miles to the
| northwest, until the great Colorado
river is seen flowing slowly by, river,
the wasted water of which is sufficient
to irrigate ten such valleys as the Sac
ramento. But it is only question of a
few years at the farthest, when THE
great subject of irrigation will be
finally settled.
To return. Skirting this desert val
| ley on its eastern edge over level road
the stage goes laundering on, leaving
Mineral Park to the right, thus cutting
the road shorter by ten miles. After
| twenty-three miles have been travelled
at full speed, stop is made at Cross
ranch, where horses are changed and
| fed and the best of meals served to the
| weary traveller, who. after short rest,
| feels like q new man starting out in
| search OF the precious metals. Again,
on the road, and for thirty-two miles
no settlement is reached.
Just after passing the extreme west
ern point of the Cerbat range, the snow
white tents and new frame buildings
of the town of White Hills is seen nest
ling close to the sides of the mountains
and presenting perfect picture of q
haven of rest. The camp is reached
seven hours after leaving Kingman.
which isn't slow time for heavy stage
