EDITOR JOURNAL: We rise to remark
that our camp has been basely slandered
in your town, and knowing that an edit
or's heart is always in the right place,
or near it, we ask you to set us right.
Our ore is good, and if the Butte COM
pany had little money, and one or two
other little things, which are generally
considered indispensable in any business
enterprise, would not be in the fix they
are in at present. A 5 ton smelter is on
the way here; the prime mover of which
is in the position to know the value of
our ore better than any mao who has
ever visited this camp. This new COM
rany will smelt the ore, ship the base
bullion, and take the smelling charges
out of the returns; which plan is re-
ceived with favor by the miners, as the
Salmon river company's methods of
sampling, beat providence out of sight
in the way of mystery. Some fine ore
has been found this spring, and Contact
like Banquo's ghost, will not down. At
ter seeing the various properties here
and the amount of work done, the writer
has no hesitation in saying it is the
most promising camp he has seen in
twenty years experience. ranging from
the Black Hills to the Yukon river.
We have post Office and mail route
from Wells, and want to get the Rock
creek route extended to Contact. We
appeal to your business men of Sho-
shone and Rock creek to help us in this
matter which will be disadvantage to all.
at present our base of supplies is Wells
Nevada; the citizens of which, with but
few exceptions, appear to be under the
of cattle men, who would
prefer not TO see mining camp on Sal
mon river. This is not a bum camp,
neither is it boom camp, but rests on
q sure foundation, and before many
moons, will astonish people who have
accustomed to M;cawber like
ways. Looking through the late reyi-
sion we find that Nothing comes to
lim who waits" and we now spell hus-
lie with big H.

The following communication was re-
ceived this week, from Contact, Nevada,
but better known as the "copper" camp"
1t will be seen that the people of that
rapidly growing town are DESTROYS of
making Shoshone their shipping, and
supply point. An interest taken now
by our merchants, and an effort made to
assist the people of Contact, in securing
a mail contract from this point, would
result in mutual benefit to both towns.
This is the practical road, and via Sho-
shone Falls, it would soon be known as
the scenic route to the famous copper
mines of Contact.

The witnesses in the Diamondfeld
Jack murder trial have all returned
home. Jack was found guilty and SEN
fenced to hang June 4th. There is but
little danger that he will hang however,
as his accessories, before the fact, have
unlimited wealth which they will spend
to either clear him or take him from
the officers of the law. He will keep

Talking of modern sleuths, Charlie
Gilmore takes the cake. The day the
prisoners broke Jail, he was driving west
of town, when he espied two men walk
ing the railroad track, who answered the
description of the fugutives, and be at
once held them up with club and sent
Bill Mabbutt to town for posse to help
him let them go. THE JOURNAL staff
joined the posse, and when the scene of
action was reached Charlie was found
with appraised club and blood in his eye
and the suspects upon their kness beg
bling him to spare their lives. Investi-
cation proved that he had captured to
innocent, inoffensive tramps, who, like
the prodigal son, were seeking their ia
theirs mansion in the far and effete east.
The posse returned to town disguised,
and Charlie continued his drive, with
out further encounters with Jail breakers.

An Expert Diagnosis Made Free and
Brought to Every Home.
Many women are SICK More than
one-half Of the women are at least not
well. The great majority of these can
find no permanent cure. Only those
fortunate enough to have access to the
most skillful diagnosis can hope t.
find a cure. Only small majority of
women can do this. Either their means
or distance from an eminent physician
prevent it.. One of the most eminent
physicians in this line is DR.. Hartman, /,
Of Columbus, o. During the hot months
DR.. Hartman. treats diseases of women
free. On receipt of q letter explaining
medicine that can. be obtained at the
nearest drug store. Each patient Is ex-
pected to report once month, when
she will receive such additional instruc-
tions as may seem necessary. All LETT
ters strictly, confidential.
Mrs. George B. White, of Petoskey,
Mich, writes: IT will now say that
have not been as wellein eight years as
am at present. For eight years have
summer I have walked to church, also
down town and back, without stopping
to rest, which Is about mile. I keep
the Pe-ru-na near me, and If I do not
feel well I take a little. cannot thank
you and Pe-ru-na enough. Had you
seen me one year ago, and then see
me now. you would not think was
the same woman.
If, for any reason, an affected woman
should prefer not to write DR.. Hart
man private letter, she should get a
bottle of Pe-ru-na cat once and take it
according to directions. This remedy
Is DR.. Hartnan's favorite prescription
for such cases.

DUBUQUE, To-, May 29.-The bien-
NAL meeting Of the Head Camp Mod
ern Woodmen Of America, to be held
the most important and largest at
tended ever held by the order Many
matters Of vital Importance to the or
ganization are to be considered, and
there will be lively fights about some
of them. This Is especially true re-
garding the proposition to again order
the headquarters removed from Full
ton, Ill, to Rock Island The order for
the change was originally made at
Omaha In 1898, and again at Madison,
Wis, in 1895. The Fulton people by
means Of injunctions and other legal
proceedings prevented the removal,
but the passage of bill by the Illi-
nois legislature recently authorizing a
change of location, and the general
impression that the convention next
makes 1t pretty certain that Rock Is
land will at Last be successful. The
Fulton camp, however, backed by a
dozen others, Will make fight to re-
tain the headquarters.
The reports Of the head officers show
that since the meeting at Springfield.
In 1890, the membership has increased
from 10000 to 100000, and the number
Of camps from 1,100 to 1890; that the
death rate has decreased from 6.41 In
1893. to 4.6O in 1896, and the cost Of

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.

NEVADA, Cal, May 29-For nearly
SIX hours the dead body Of woman,
which was found hanging in q wood
shed at the rear of the National hotel,
lay on table at the city hall Shortly
after George Gehrig, prominent
brewer Of this city, identified the body
as that Of his wife, who left him anu
their six children last Wednesday. The
tragedy is most mysterious The facts
that her domestic life had been un-

early 'S0's with her husband. and that

have many and strong grounds for

mitted.
Late Wednesday evening, Mrs. Geh-
rig came to the hotel and registered
as Miss Frances Heitler, and paid in
advance for nights lodging. Next
morning she failed to appear, and 1t
was noon, when chambermaid found
her still In bed and asked her If she

began to sing. Yesterday morning,
about 6 o'clock, as officer Carr was

of the shed. She was cold and stiff
There were several gashes in her head,
a pool Of blood thirty feet away, and
at another point a pile Of split wood
was bespattered with blood, two or
three sticks having the appearance of
having been used for clubs. There
We're wounds on the head ranging from
half an inch to an inch In length The
skull was fractured in four places.
From the nature of the wounds, it is
hardly probably that the woman could
have hanged herself afterwards, had
she inflicted them. Her wrists have
the appearance of having been grasped
tightly.
