Affirmed the Opinion.

Washington, May 20,-rhe United
States supreme court yesterday az
firmed the opinion of the supreme
court of Arizona in the case of the
United States versus the Copper
Queen Mining Co. The case grew out
of the use of timber said to have
been cut on the public domain by the
mining company, the timber being
valued at $1S3,000. The mining com
pany eonteuded that the taking OF
the timber was authorized by law,
and the effect of the decision is to
uphold that contention.

Clear Creek county is being doubly hon
bred in this campaign. After giving the
county the second place ON the ticket the
practical opening of the state campaign will
occur at Georgetown.
The occasion will be one of the most
notable in the history of the past six or eight
years and will show that the people, as we
have often stated, cannot be bound by party
ties when it is their patriotic duty to cast
their suffrage so that the administration of
state affairs may be i'll advance of what it
bias been in the past.
This year the laboring people are taking
an interest in the progress of the times.
They will insist upon continuation of the
prosperity of the present and will see to it
that Colorado is placed with the other Re-

which the young men and women who are
voters in the state are taking an active in
terest. They should help to swell the crowd
tonight and put in an evening of entertain
ment and instruction.
The meeting will be held in the opera
house and every arrangement is being made
to make it as pleasant as possible. The
ladies, as we'll as the gentlemen, of George
town are obtaining music and getting every
thing in readiness for royal welcome to
the distinguished visitors. The evening
will be one that will be of interest to every
one in favor of a change in state govern
ment. Democrats, Populists and members
of all parties are invited to participate.
They can go and hear the gospel as it will
be expounded and learn many things that
every voter should know.

publican states of the North on record for
prosperity and progress.
This afternoon the county convention of
the Republican party will be held at George
town in the opera house. 1t is understood
that the convention will meet promptly at
I clock in the afternoon and finish its bus
iness before evening.
Leaving Idaho Springs at $50 on the
west bound evening train an excursion will
be run to Georgetown with a rate of 65
cents for the round trip. 1t is stated that
the members of the excursion party will be
made up largely of ladies who are taking an
active part in the present campaign. This
train will stop at Lawson, Empire and Du-
mont and take on excursionists who desire
to attend the reception and rally III the
evening. A rate of one fare from each point
has been made by the Colorado and South
ern, and the train will return from George
town after the rally and reception, or prob
ably about midnight.
Some idea of the gathering can be OBJ
tanned from the fact that every nominee for
state office on the Republican ticket will be
present and address the people briefly on the
need for reform in state affairs. There will
be no abuse of the opposition, for the Re-
publican campaign is being conducted upon
a clean basis so that the people can be edit
Gated to the facts.
From present indications the crowd from
Idaho Springs will be large and the stations
along the line will contribute literally to
the gathering.

This morning, according to word received,

well as the gentlemen will desire to meet the
] candidates, and especially will they be inter
ested in Mrs. Brandt, candidate for superin-
tendent of schools.
The Swedish-Americans of the city are
making arrangements rapidly as possible
to tender a royal reception to Mr.. John A.
Holmberg, candidate for state auditor, who
will be pleased to meet all his friends at the
reception.
The hours have been fixed between 2:3o
and 4:3o this afternoon. Idaho Springs
people, regardless of party afilliation, are
invited to meet the candidates. Brief adj
dresses will probably be made and everyone
will be royalty entertained. The reception
will be held at the opera house.

FOR THE
STANLEY
Chicago Judge Appoints
Receiver For Old
Producer.

The report was received in this city on Tuesday
evening that Judge Clifford of Chicago, Ill, had,
upon petition of Charles E. Dickson of Morgan
county, Illinois, appointed the Merchants Loan and
Trust company as receiver for the Consolidated
Stanley Mining company.
lust what this move means is not known but it
is not thought that it will interfere with the work
ing of the property under the name of the Stanley
Consolidated Mining and Milling company
An account in the Denver News had the follow
ing to say
The appointment of the Merchants Loan and
Trust company of Chicago as receiver by Judge
Clifford of Chicago on petition of c. +. Dickson of
Jacksonville ILL.,, for the Consolidated Stanley Min
ing company owning the noted Stanley mine at
this company for the past two years. Two months
ago the Stanley Consolidated Mining and Milling
company reorganized in Colorado, while the
old company had been Incorporated under the laws
of Illinois, and for that that receiver
was appointed by the court i'll Chicago to-day.
What the present move is intended for is not known
A. D. Bulls attorney for the Stanley company, is
out of the city tonight and those connected with
the mine locally know nothing about the legal
difficulties.
1t is believed that the action in Chicago to-day
was in the interests of the new company and also
James T. King of Jacksonville ILL.,, who was presl-
dent of both the old and companies, although
resigning from that Office i'll the new company
about week ago. Dickson, who made the appli-
cation for receiver, is supposed to have acted for
the King interests and the move is probably made
for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the old
company because it was impossible to do so without
a reorganization authorized by the court. The new
company was to have been promoted partially i'll
Colorado Springs and all of the present officers live
in Colorado. Mr.. King had been elected president
of the new company, but resigned, and A. D. Bull
lis attorney and vice president has been acting in
the capacity of president with J. M Jackson, man
ager of the property.
1t is the general opinion of people in the dis
trict that the appointment of receiver is for the
purpose of winding up the affairs of the old com-
pany and will not conflict with the operations of
the new company which is now in control of the
property 1t is thought that the Indebtedness which
is reported from Chicago is that represented by the
Montreal holdings who formerly had possession of
the property.

from point of profit but from the fact that

no part, and that it has been his idea to pub

him no other choice in Clear Greek county.

amendment, have been indorsed by both the
