to answer that one In person immedi-

GREENE COUNTY SITUATION.

The republicans of Greene county have seen fit
to make almost impossible the candidacy of Judge
L. A. Church for the supreme bench. This is a
matter to be regretted by all of Judge Churchs
friends. He was worthy and entitled to the sup
port at least Of bis home county and we Believe of
the delegates from the entire Tenth district. 1t is
too often the that men, over anxious to carry
their point, lose 81 ght of the future and thus in
vove themselves in enmities and factional fights
which last for years. 1t appears that the Greene
county convention was entirely in the hands of Mr.
Cummins' friends, it understood that only
Cummlns men were to be on the delegation and it
would have seemed that resolutions were unneces-
airy. Judge Church had brilliant prospects of
victory; we know of many counties outside of this
district that would have supported him and are
inclined to ask the Judge to reconsider his with
drawal.
We believe we know enough enough of the SEN
tlments OF Crawford county republicans say that
Judge Church will receive their hearty support if
he will permit the of his name. Crawford is
tor the Tenth district first, last and all the time.
1t knows no paramount obligations to any
set OF men. The Greene county delegates should
get together, ask Judge Church to remain in the
field and pledge him their support, them if
he consents to remain candidate they should go
to Cedar Rapids prepared to make strong fight
for him and thus refute the charge that Greene
county does not stand by its own candidates. AS
far as Crawford county is concerned it will make
governor. We feel under deep obligations to that
county and are prepared to stand by their candi-
date if they have one Let the breach in Greene
be healed let the county vote for the candidate for
governor OF their choice, but let them be firm in
their support of Judge Church. Greene county
should not court similar state of affairs as that
which confronts Carroll.

NEW UNIFORM FOR TOMMY.
British Soldiers VIII Soon lie Pro-

Serge suits.

It is probable that in very brief
period there will be considerable
changes made in the material used for
clothing the army on home rs well
as on foreign service. says the London
Telegraph. The committee dealing
with the subject, which has been in
session for about couple Of years,
has at length been able to come to a
final decision. Probably the events in
South Africa have helped the mem
bers TO make up their minds. At all
events they have chosen an excellent

for the future practically the whole
work OF the troops will be performed,

HOW TO VALUE A MINE
Experts Method Of Estimating the
Worth Of sore In Sight"
Always an Eiemcnt of Uncertainty
Even Under the Most Advan-
tnHeouS Investig ations of
Deposits.

With the news that John Hays
Hammond's proposal TO take charge
OF the Independence gold mine had
been accepted by the London owners
came the report that the mine had
been worked out This statement
had been made many times before, and
much doubt existed in the minds Of
interested parties when MIR. Ham,
mond's latest report was received,
says the New York Tribune. This
document showed that the property
which for = long time yielded 40 per
cent. dividend on a large investment,
was still rich in ore, and capable Of
producing large profits. Mr. Ham
mOnd said that the 'ore in sight war
ranted him in guaranteeing diyi-
dend Of ten per cent, or $4ss,000, and
that would leave about 100000 out Of
the years deposits TO be used toward
the further development Of the prop
erty and locating new ore beds.
The Phrase ''ore In sight" is one
that is well understood by people who
are interested in the mining business,
but is misunderstood by the average
layman, The ore is not ain sight" on
the surface. but It's existence is es-
tablished by series OF operations
which are in many instances exceed
ingly difficult, expensive and labori-
Gus.

on the other hnnd. IL might. be found

where the block OF lOOx2OOx2O feet
