UNITED VERDE EXTENSION.
Development Work on Claims in the

The United Verde extension was fer
merly oWGed by the Hen. G. w. Hull,
but is now being developed by a com
pany organized in Boston some mcnths
ago. the nav company dapositing S75.-
900 for development work, says the
Jerome News. The most interesting
work kbeing dcne on this group is the
shaft bsing sunk on the' claim known
as the 1888. AS shown on the nap, this
claim lies alongside Of the Wade
Hampton and Eureka claims, which
are now producing ere for the United
Verde Copper company. Tbs shaft on
the 'S8 is only very short distance
from the property OF the United Verde
company. This shaft has been sunk to
q depth OF 220 feet through the hardest
ki2d C .ro'ck to be found in this dis
trict all of which has cost S35 per foot.

NAPOLEON, o., Oct. 20.-The Bryan Nc
Lean special train left Defiance this morn
ing and the first stop was made here. The
visiting party escorted to the court
house, where Congressman d. d. Donovan
introduced Mr.. Mclean, who in turn intro
duced Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan related the story of the young
medical student who would bleed every pa

patient became so weak he could stand it no
! longer the student said he would prop him
up in bed and bleed him again.
ard that is the way Of the republican
party" continued the speaker. 1T has bled
you on the money question, the tax question
and every other question which has come
before the country. The time has come
when the farmer, the plain laboring men,
cannot afford to throw his influence on the
side of the republican party. ] believe in
| an income tax and believe it the most just
OF all taxes. Why? Because it measures
the assessment by the returns. II your IN

Comparisons with the first days registra-

made, with the result that aside from pres-
dental year the registration is larger than
heretofore known. In the fall election OF
1895 the registration on the first day was
695. On the first day in 1896 it was I'LL
In October, 1897, it dropped to 4S7 and in
1898 was only 547. 1t will thus be seen that
the registration of 100 voters on the first
day this year is quite an increase over pre-
ceding years. The second days registra-
tion, which occurs next Friday, will be much
larger than the first day and the third and

ing from the depot to the hotel l heard the
honk of wild geese, but paid no attention to
it. little later the arc lights in the streets
were lighted and hundreds of geese swarmed
down and alighted on the ground beneath
the lights Their feathers were wet from
the snow and they made no attempt to arise
when disturbed, seemingly being attracted
by the arc lights The residents of Baker

enough live geese to last them for some
time. The next morning all the butcher
shops and grocery stores were filled with
live geese, in improvsed cages l never saw
such a sight before and never expect to
again"
