Dow is a sort of bully in the colored
circles and for several months there
has been a standing trouble between
him and l.. b. Price. Sunday night the
argument was again taken up and
stones began to fly freely through
the air. Officers Carlmark and Rose
appeared on the scene and the crowd
scattered. Dow was taken in tow
and while crossing Charles Nelson's
lot a dog came after the police. This
caused Nelson to abuse the police
and when arrest was attempted he
resisted. When taken to the station
his head was found to be cut open
from crack from billy.

very much interested in the coming
conference between the National
Founders association and the Iron
Molders' union of North America,
which will be held at Detroit on Oct.
Z to discuss the possible establish
ment of the nine-hour work day by
Jan. 1, 1903. While this agreement
will only cover Cleveland, Cincinnati
Chicago, ST. Louis, Indianapolis, De
troit and Milwaukee, which com
prises the Fifth district, if the nine
hour day is established in those cities
it means it's general Introduction in
every city in the country. 1t is also
Understood that the nine-hOur day
will be brought around without any
reduction in wages and it is really
the most important movement ever
started by the iron molders. 1t will
effect nearly 10000 men but the lead
ers do not anticipate any trouble.

"Messrs. Reed, Robinette & Co.,
the owners OF Sturgill bar placer
mines on Snake river, are wearing
broad smiles these days. Ten thous-
and shining dollars lying exposed on
the bed rock IS the cause of the
smiles. Never in the history of
Sturgill bar did prospects look bright

tiful than the present time as it lay
scattered on the bed rock in the
fumes. The "yaller stuff" is much

Plenty OF water is also on hand
fer prolonged run and very con-
sentative and experienced placer
miners place the cleanup at easy

OF the gold being fine is exploded by
beautiful nuggets from the size of O
max seed to walnut. In fact Stur-

the owners to keep mining full blast

the fall, when, we predict, one of
the finest clean ups in the state OF
