brings news of more coming. This has

ing carefully and found we had two
bed rocks. The first was down about
six feet to a clay and hard-pan, and
then down about six feet to a rough
slate rock. This last six feet we found
had no pay in it, and we made another
seventeen hour run on the gravel from
the grass roots to the clay, three men
shoveling, and cleaned up 15oz. 2pwt.

week have been very well attended.
Shirley Gilliland, at Brayton, delivered
an able speech to a large audience. The
meetings at Oakfield Center, Greeley
Center and Audubon Center we're all
we'll attended and we're enthusiastic
meetings. The local speakers, Messrs.
Boysen, Blume, Hanna and Wissler have
done excellent work. But two meetings
remain, one at Gray Friday night adj
dressed by Hon. John Herriott, and one
at Hamlin Center Saturday night adj
dressed by Messrs. Boysen and Blume.
The campaign has been carefully pushed
along all lines and the republican lead
ers are very confident that the entire
county ticket will be elected the same
as for the last two elections. Let the
republicans and the good people OF the
county do their duty and all this will be
done. Let all republicans get to the
polls. Every good citizen will vote.
