MORE COPPER MINES BONDED.
The Clark Syndicate Secures n
Dozen More Properties.

Messrs. Snedaker and Shear, the ex-
perts representing the Clark syndicate
that has become so largely interested
in the copper mines OF this district, have
been engaged since their arrival here
last week in surveying the boundaries
of the claims already acquired and in
addition have bonded about dozen
more. The new acquisitions are the
Famous and Bully Boy, owned by John
Weber; the August, owned by p. C.
Weber and Thos. Rockhill; the Boss OF
Nevada, owned by Thos. Rockhill and
Mrs. Magnuson; and the Turkey, Spion
Kop and Last Hope, owned by Thos
Rockhil We understand that the
bonds are to run for one year and in
volve the performance of considerable
development work, while the ultimate
price TO be paid aggregates nearly 800,
900. In addition to these properties,
five or six claims belonging to r. a.
Riepe have been tied up.
All together this syndicate now holds
nearly forty claims In this district, the
greater portion of them adjoining and
making one immense group, on which
development work is being pushed in
several places About twenty five men
are now employed and this force will
without doubt be increased as room is
made for them.

pute over mining claim located near
Silver City, this morning, II. M. Glenn
mons, foreman of the Virginia Water
Company, shot and killed Jim Keiger.

lodged in Jail. From what could be learn
ed 1t appears that the men had been in
litigation over mining claims and had
been enemies for some time. 1t is
said that Keiger fired the first two
shots and Clemmons returned fire, a
bullet from his revolver striking Keiger
In the head, killing him instantly

RESULTS OF THE OFFICIAL
CANVASS.

The County Commissioners met here
last Saturday to make the official can
vass of the election returns from the
various precincts in this county. The
chief interest centered around the Of
fees of State Senator and County As
sessor and Treasurer, which had been
shown by the unofficial returns to be
too close for comfort. Aurum was the
last precinct to report and cast the de-
cisive vote in both cases, electing Hon.
Chas. Greene to the former Office by
the narrow margin of nine votes over
his opponent, Senator II. A. Comins,
and increasing J. B. Williamson's 5 ma
jority over Ben Payne to u for the
latter Office. The results for the other
Offices will be found in the tabulated
returns elsewhere in this issue.
The total number of votes cast in the
county was 529, OF which were reject
ed as improper ballots by the Inspect
ors of Ely precinct, 10 in Cherry Creek,
in Osceola and 4 in White River,
leaving a total of 507 votes counted.
The vote for Sheriff was the largest for
any one office, being SOB, only less
than the total, while NJ B. Garaghan
received 364 votes, the largest number
cast for any one candidate. The vote
for Bryan Electors was more than dou-
BILE that which was received by the Re-
publican Electors.
The following are the men who will
enter into Office in this county next
January: State Senator, Chas. Greene:
Assemblyman, Frank Paul; Sheriff,
Geo. Newman; County Clerk, Chas. S.
Grunditz; Recorder and Auditor, NJ. b.
Garaghan; Treasurer and Assessor, J.

Washington, April 15.-There is proba-
BILE no single fact, the knowledge of which
is more interesting and important TO the
Southern people than the amount of the
cotton crop. The present methods OF ascer-
tanning the magnitude of the cotton crop
are unsatisfactory. There is one method
of ascertaining the amount of the crop
exactly. for there Is one process Chat Of
ginuing) to which all cotton for any COM
mercial or industrial use whatever must
be subjected. If one could obtain from all
the cotton gins of tho country reports of
the amount of stampe they have turned
out. the precise aggregate of the whole
crop would be known. II is proposed 10
apply this process in taking the twelfth
census, the field work of which is to begin
on the LIST of June.
An expert special agent has been APP
pointed whose sole duty will be to obtain
returns from all the ginning and balng
establishments In the cotton growing re-
sfon. No ginnery Is too small or insig-
nihcant to be visited and asked for a
