THE KEYSTONE.

The keystone management are highly
pleased over the fact that they have
just struck a body of ore on the lower
level which ls 20 feet wide that yields 81
per ton free milling and is besides as rich
in refractory material as any ore yet
taken from the mine IN quality. The
constant pounding OF the stamps upon
such ore as this means that IN very
short time the present capacity of the
mill will be required Tor their own ore.
and the additional twenty stamps must
be placed in position for custom work.
We predict that the day OF assessments
on this mine il past.

THE HOLY TERR0.

Miner: The sinking OF the Holy Ter
ror shaft again goes merrlly on. Work
was suspended only three days last
week pending repairs on the compressor.
Nobody outside knows the progress
being made, but from several Indications
we judge that a successful attempt is
being made to break the record OF the
camp in sinking shaft.

NOTES.

Reports from the Victor mine on
Spring creek near the Storm Mountain
group are OF a very encouraging nature.
Tie shaft is down eighteen feet and has
been in fine ore all the way down. The
width OF the ledge cannot 1t this time
be determined as there has been no cross
cutting done and the shaft does not
touch either wall.
It is reported that work will soon be
commenced on tho old Standby property
at Rockford, now owned by the Apex
Mining Co. 1t Is promised that exten-
elve work will be inagurated on this
property.

Fred w iison Contests.

Late Thursday evening Fred Will
son filed a complaint contest ing the
election of H. M. Reed to the office of
long term commissioner. The com
plant alleges that Bryan precinct
was illegally established for the
reason that the signers Of the petition
asking the Board to establish said
precinct we're residents Of the State
of Idaho, and not residents of the
State of Nevada. 1t also alleges that
after voting had commenced at Island
Mountain, the voting place was
wrongfully and illegally changed.
Also that illegal ballots we're wrong
fully counted for the defendant in
ever precinct of the county and es-
pecially IN Elko, Tuscao1ra and Camp
Halleck. The plaintiff also charges
that the polls in South Ruby and
Halleck we're not open at the hour
required by law. The inspectors Of
election Ill each precinct of the coun-
ty are charged with malconduct in
counting ballots for Mr.. Reed that
had written upon them names or
marks made by the electors casting
the same, or by someone on their be-
half.
The plaintiff asks Court for judg-
ment declaring him duly elected to
the Office Of long term commissioner,
and for costs Of suit.

The Inquisitive Neighbor at Last Gets In
Her Work as Usual.

Before Ira LaMotte wore diamonds
and wrote manager" after his name
incidents occurred that are more anus-
ing in being related over cold bottles
than they were III transporting One lit
tie story he tells himself that runs in
this way:
When Ira became Benedict, he was
less prosperous than hopeful His visi-
BILE possessions consisted of a trunk,
huge affair and useful, but solitary to
profound degree when considered as the
extent of his property. But Ira knew
thing or two, even though he had TO re-
sort to strategy TO accomplish his pur-
pose. He rented a fiat, swell fiat,
with all the accessories of high price
dom, and he and Mrs. LaMotte and
the trunk took possession. They did it
III an transformations way, and the neigh
bOrs Were none the wiser. 1t was all
right of course from one way Of looking
at it, but neighbors can hardly be ex-
pected to always look that one way; so
the new tenants kept on being unosten-
tatious and exclusive. The trunk was
most useful. 1t did duty for chairs at
dinner time, for piano at singing time,
for divan at billing time, and for near
" everything else. 1t was all bit ir-
regular of course, but the best was
made of it. and Ira and Mrs. LaMotte
were as free from care as from the trou-
bles of wealth.
One morning however, Mrs. LaMotte
went out. She only went to the corner,
but the wide awake wife of the landlord
the landlord lived i'll fiat just below
ra's-found the opportunity she had
impatiently been waiting for. She bided
her time until Mrs. LaSIotte was on
the outer steps. Then, with bonnet and
cape, she started out. Of course the Ia
dies met, ard of course they had to chat
a little.
How do you like the fat, Mrs. La
Motte?'' asked the wide awake other.
VERY much, thank you,' icily re-
turned Mrs. LaMotte, for she knew she
was caught and considered all sorts of
sharp things to say in reply.
"And, Mrs. LaMotte''-it came hest
tatingly, but it came-'when are you
going to move in?''
The simplicity of it took her breath
away, and she could only retreat in dig

the vacant places. It was then that
Mayor Strong began to be bothered by
the various political factions which had
helped elect him. In his perplexity he
seems to have made some appointments
which have aroused the lively animosity
of some Of the elements that supported
him IN the election. In spite of some
mistakes, however, the ref0rmers say
that they have much 70 be thankful for.
In Brooklyn, too. it is claimed that
the ring has been smashed. The City
Of Churches has probably suffered as
much from encouragement as any 9TH
er in the country. The first man to
knock out the ring there was Seth Low,
who is now president of Columbia col
lege. This happened more than a dozen
years ago, before the National Munich
pal Reform league had ever been
thought of. The city government was
then in control of a set of boodlers who
had been made bold by long immunity.
Both political machines were understood
to be interested in continuing the con-
troll of the ring, and the taxpayers felt
themselves to be completely helpless.
At last a mass meeting was called. and
Seth Low was nominated mayor to head
a reform ticket. He was young, wealthy
and the president of an active indie
pendent political club. He made live
~ and aggressive campaign. He simply
promised the citizens an honest admin
istration. The ring politicians laughed
at his straightforward methods of can
wasting, but they were a sorry lot when
the votes were counted, for it was found
that the reform ticket had been elected
by big majority. Low was mayor of
the city for six years, and when he re-
tired, much against the wishes of the
people, Brooklyn was a we'll governed
city. 1t did not stay SO, however.
In Chicago Mayor Swift is trying to
conduct the business of the western me-
tropolis with honesty and wisdom. He
has done away to a great extent with
boss rule, and is responsible for many
changes for the better.
The most picturesque reformer Of the
lot is Mayor Pingree of Detroit. "Pota-
to Patch Pingree" he is called by some
who ridicule his unique methods. He
has already served several terms and is
extremely popular with the masses. He
first attracted attention and supporters
by making war on the corporations. He
gained his unique sobriquet by securing
the vacant city lots for the use of poor
people as potato patches. Last year
many thousands of bushels of potatoes
were raised ON these urban farms and
many acres of land that had before been
lying idle were utilized.
In San Francisco they have a popular
mayor too. Mayor Sutro is a philan-
