TO the citizens of Davenport, Rock

the undersigned committees has been
called to the fact that persistent
misrepresentation is being made as to
the Endorsement by US of Messrs. Bills
and Workman, representing the Union
Electric Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany, to the effect that different
mem bers of the committees had since
changed their views.
Such statements we denounce as
untrue. The committees indorse-

ratified by our respective Organiza-
tions. One member of the Rock ISL
and Retail Merchants association
committee failed TO concur in our in
dorsement; but as he was alone in his
opinion. we presented the majority
report, indorsing Bills & Wort ham,
and said report was adopted without
a dissenting vote
The splendid success achieved by
Messrs Bills & Workman in signing
up an overwhelming majority of the
representative business houses. war
rants the belief that they, and they
alone, can succeed in spite of the eff
forts made to confuse the public and
split up and disintegrate the inde-

1t is evident W. A. Clark proposes
,ome important developments at the
Ophir mine. When he was here a little
over a week ago to make an eXamina-
ton of the mine he had not fully made
up his mind on a plan for the future,
at least, he did not make his intentions
known in respect to 1t.
Since his departure, however, 1t mas
developed that he has ordered one of
his representatives to come here and
begin a vigorous campaign of develop
ment 1t is learned that the new man.
ager for the Ophir is to come from
Butte and that he will bring his family
with him to take up their residence In
Salt Lake.
The Ophir, as every one knows who is
acquainted with the Ophir district, is
a big mine and has some enormously
large ore bodies, being of very low
grade.
The former owners have made money
out of it by economical management,
but in late years it has been uphill
work to make it pay much more than
running expenses. Last year the mine
showed a surplus.
1t has been announced that Senator
Clark's first move will be TO ship a
900 or 800 tons of the ore to his Butte
its adaptibility to that method of treat
ment.
A gentleman closely connected with
Mr.. Clark said yesterday that the ore
would certainly have to be treated I'M
der fire to get the best results, and he
thinks there is little doubt that ii is
Mr.. Clark's ultimate intention to erect
a smelling plant somewhere near Salt
Lake if the results obtained from the
ore to be sent to Butte are satisfactory.
''Of course said the informant, who
did not care to be quoted, all will de-
pend upon the tests to be made whether
Mr. Clark builds a smelter or not. but
the ore can be treated to a profit and
he will find a way to do it before he
stops Investigations"
Heretofore the ore has been concen-
trated at the mine, the mill being one
of the most economical ever construct
ed, and the product shipped to the
SmelterS

M'KINLEY BUYS A HOME.
Place Where He and Wife Began
Housekeeping In Canton.

Canton o.. Aug. 6.-President Mckinley
has purchased the famous Mckinley cot
tage.' at the corner of North Market
street and Louis avenue. The deal was
closed Saturday. The consideration was
sl4.500. The papers have passed. He Will
secure possession of the contract and
deed October next. The property was
not on the market. 1t was endeared to
President and Mrs. Mckinley as their first
home. where they began housekeeping and
by tender memories of sorrows there. The
lot is 100 feet front on Market street by
PA on Louis avenue. The front veranda
shows the most wear from the historic
campaign of 1896. when the noted home
was the political mecca for nearly mil
lion people.
Before leaving Canton for the Inaugural
ton President Mckinley tried to buy the
home made doubly dear to him. 1t is not
believed that Mrs. Harter would have
sold the place to anyone else. 1t is be-
lieved to be the presidents intention to
spend a part of each summer in Canton.
The interior of the house has always been
roorny and cool and -comfOrtab BILE. 1t is
thought possible that the president may
renovate the house and make improve
mentS.
that with the breaking of home ties by
deaths. sorrows and other events. the
president might be induced to accept one
of the many invitations which the papers
have reported as being offered TO secure
his residence elsewhere. The news that
the deal is closed whereby he is once more
the owner of the home that has always
been dearest to him, will be received with
universal rejoicing.

COLONEL TRUMBO'S MINES.
Building Large Cyaniding Mill at
the Golden Cross.
Gos Angeles Heral


Colonel Isaac Trumbo, who has been
stopping at the Van Mugs, left on the
Owl for his home in San Francisco
last evening. Colonel Trumbo was here
attending the stockholders meeting OF
the Golden Cross Mining company,
where all conflicting interests of that
corporation, in which he is a large
owner, reached an amicable settlement
AS is well known, the control of the
Golden Cross mines, which constitute
one of the richest mining properties in
Arizona, has been in the hands of a
receiver, in order that the working of
the mines might proceed without in
terruption by the clashing of diverse
interests. A large cyanide mill with a
capacity of treating GIL tons of ore a
day, will be rushed on to completion.
The ore is low grade in character, and
averages about IS ton.
Colonel Trumbo is more enthusiastic
than ever over the vigorous manner in
which work on the road which will con-
meet this city with Salt Lake, is being
pushed:
"All the work is being done from the
Utah end said Colonel Trumbo last
evening, but with much better sue
cess than was anticipated, and a year,
at the most, will witness the compile
ton of the last link in the chain of
commerce between Los Angeles and the
great northeast A branch into north
ern Arizona has already been contem-
plated, and then Los Angeles and Salt
Lake will be the greatest towns in the
west"

ROVER DEVELOPMENT.
Connection Being Made With Golden
Gate Mine.
Mercur Mercury


The Rover, which is now really part
of the De Lamar system, and operated
with the Golden Gate and Brickyard
groups, is being connected with the
great tunnel system so satisfactorily
employed in handling the product of
the two properties, by an upraise from
the tunnel, which will be continued to
the surface thereby fully exploring the
ground, giving ventilation and what is
of the utmost Importance of all, ad-
hitting of an economical handling of
the Rover ores by passing them down
and out through the tunnel to the main
Golden Gate shaft, from whence they
are raised to the mill above.
The SubteTranean passageway
through which all the ores treated at
the great mill is now conveyed. is up
wards of a mile in length, and is oper-
ated by mule trains that make the trip
in fifteen minutes. Six mules and two
horses are at present used and they
make antedeluvian street car schedule
time with their trains of auriserous
freight These animals are rarely
hoisted TO the surface and this is the
only mine in the state that uses this
class of motive power in deep under
ground workings.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
One That Will Stop Shipment OF
Arms From China to Philippines.

Washington. Aug. 6.-Hon. John
Goodnow, consul general of the United
States at Shanghai, has rendered de-
cision as referee in the consular court
which will be of far reaching import
ance during the continuance of the war
in the Philippines.
The case was in relation to the steam
er Abbey charged with taking arms
from Canton to LuZon. 1t has been
in contention for some time. Inc own
ers of the vessel gave bond that the
ship should land the arms purchased
at Singapore but she did not do so.
The bond was demanded by the Chinese
authorities Mr.. Goodnow holds that
il must be paid The importance of the
decision is pointed out by the Shanghal
Murcurv which says:
THE effect of the decision of Mr..
Goodnow reaches much beyond the
mere fact of being Judgment for the
plaintiff with the penalty following and
the costs of the suits. Hitherto the
American forces at Manila have had
to fight against Filipinos well-armed
with modern rifles and guns, and 1t is
no secret that the majority of these
arms have been landed in the Philip
pines from Chinese ports. When
limited States consular officials have
received information that cargoes of
weapons were about to be shipped
from China, their urgent protests TO
the Chinese have been the means OF
stopping shipments. But when the
United States officials, through want
Iof knowledge, have been ignorant of
such contraband runs. the Chinese Of
ficials have likewise been blind to these
shipments, though, no doubt, well
aware of SUCH.
TT is in this respect that Mr.. Goodnow
