GREAT BODIES OF ORE
Day Mine Has Nearly 400, 900 Tons
of Shipping Material.
CPioche Record)

u 4OCue
Careful estimates, based on actual
surveys and samplings, made not once,
but several times, iustifes the state
ment that the Day mine alone contains
between 100000 and 100000 tons of ore
suitable for shipment or working when
rail communication is had. such as
Bingham and other large Utah camps
now enjoy.
With such a showing for one mine,
is it unreasonable to believe, that since
the mineral indications there extend
to both sides of the mountain range.
other magnificent ore bodies will not
be encountered when work reaches
depth?
The Hillside and the old May
flower (now called the Mayday), mines
on the west or Bristol side of the range,
both produced heavily in the past, but
neither were worked TO any great
depth.
The Mayfower was explored with a
horse within only and no other claim in
the immediate vicinity has a depth of
over $50 feet
The ores throughout that section
carry heavily in iron and copper. This
latter fact is what has revived opera
lions there during the past year. The
Day ore possesses value above its sill
yer contents on account of the iron and
lime it contains, and every test ship
ment made to the Salt Lake smelters in
the past sold at a good premium. They
Melted more than the silver contents
assayed, so satisfactory was the ore for
general huXing purposes there.

Rural Texas Justice.
CThe Rreen Rag.l

In one of the remote counties of the
Panhandle of Texas two lawyers were
trying case before a justice Of the
peace. 1t was sixty miles as the crow
flies to the nearest law-book. and the at
torneys differed. of course. as to the law
upon the main issue in the case. They
were trying the case without the inter-
vention of jury, and his honor. who
conducted a gambling house in connection
with his hotel, saloon and livery stable.
was in doubt as to what his decision
ought to be. Finally Miller. the PLAINTIFF s
counsel offered to bet Hoover, the de-
PENDANTS attorney, so that he was right.
Hoover did not happen to have that much
of the circulating medium concealed about
his person, and was naturally at a loss
how to parry this forcible argument. The
court waited a few moments for Hoover,
and finally said:i
'''Well. Mr.. Hoover, the court has wait
ed long enough. Miliers proposition
seems to be a fair one. and since You
don't put up / viii decide this case in
favo~ of the plaintiff."

Bolton, Miss, Dec, 1.-Two negroes
named Jim Martin and Frank West were
lynched on the Bakers creek bridge, one
quarter of mile west of this place, about

West were captured about 10 o'clock this

the former confess. and then he broke
down and related the whole story The

About 7 O'Clock a. mob of $50 unmasked

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Payne Believes Mckinley and Root
Will Be the Men.

dent Mckinley will be the choice of the
Republican national convention, that he
will be nominated by reclamation, and
that Secretary of War Root will be his
running mate, is the opinion of National
Committeeman Henry Q. Payne. who re-
turned from an extended tour of the east
today.
Mr.. Payne says that the feeling in the
east is strongly in favor of nominating
Mr.. Mckinley by reclamation, and that
Mr.. Root is the choice of the Washington
people for the vice presidency. Mr.. Root
is very highly thought of in Washington
and all through the east and has the con-
fidence of the people in every respect.
As to whether he. also, would be NOM
mated by reclamation is uncertain, as
there may be complications in New York
sufficient to upset any such idea.
