The Sommercamp and Johnson Strike
Sold for that Sum.

Last week the SIGNAL announced
the rich gold strike made by Henry
Sommercamp and Lou johnson. They
put in just two weeks developing
from the date of discovery and then
sold for $4,000. The first pay
nent has already been made. Henry
and Lou also get the ore they have
taken out in the two weeks work !;
this, they estimate, will mill 81, 200.
Altogether the boys have made good
summers wages. When first spoken

mile from the lola mine at Warren.

lola, owned by Lou johnson and
the Patterson Brothers, for an agreed
price of $4,000 The first payment

MINERS FIND COAL.

Much Excitement About MissOuIa
Over Reported Discoveries.
b Missoula, Mont, Feb. 16.-For some
time work has been going on near here
in a search for coal and oil, and some
satisfactory finds are reported to have
been made, and the excitement runs
very high. One report has it that
agents Of President Winter. Of the
Northern Pacific, have offered to bond
the ranch Of Michael Cummings for a
fabulous sum. The fact that these Of
fers have been reported on the street
has started fresh rumors to the effect
that the coal that has been found was
even better than at first reported, and
that it was not found at it's best in it's
locality where the first drilling was
done, but that the country west of
there was rich in coal that is the best.

Washington, Feb. IL. - The senate
passed the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill and fixed next Wednes-
day at 4 p. m. as the time for final
vote on the immigration conference re-
port. These were the only features of
the open session which was cut short
early in the day by the executive ses-
sion on the arbitration treaty. The dip
.lomatic and consular bill as passed
carries $1,645,30S, q slight increase on
minor items on the house bill. Bills
fixing the time and place for federal
trials in Oklahoma Territory and
providing for the retirement of enlisted
men of the army and navy after thirty
years continuous service at three
quarters pay were passed. At 1:3O the
at o'clock adjourned.
The house passed the Notifications
appropriation bill with but a single
amendment, and made some Roadway
with the postoffce appropriation bill.
But the major portion of the day was
consumed in a political debate on the
financial question which was precipi-
tated by an innocent provision in bill
providing for funding the debt of the
territory. The bill aroused the opposi-
ton Of Mr.. McN1illin Dem., Tenn.) be-
cause it provided for gold bonds and
the payment of interest in gold or its
equivalent. The bill was finally passed.
The house then went into committee of
the whole and took up the postoffice ap-
preparation bill.

ellis pretty young wife, dead or dy-
ing, lies in the muddy road at Rag
land, while her husband, entrenched

the doorway. Both balls passed en-
tirely through the woman's body. She
staggered to the gate and fell PROSTATE
in a puddle. Her husband refused to
surrender or allow the neighbors to APP
proach the corpse. Jealousy of a
younger brother caused the deed.

was being interceded with over the
long distance telephone to Atlanta. AS
