THEIR FIRST CAMPAIGN
West Superior Socialists to Have a
~Ticlxet OF Their own.

.
WEST SUPERIOR, WIS.-The socialists are
making preparations for their first active
political campaign. They plan to put in
nomination 4 full county ticket and there is
talk Of nominating Superior man for state
senator. While thers is no hope they can
elect ticket, they expect to be able to
divide the forces Their greatest hope is that
the republicans will nominate an outside man
or some stawart for state senator. In that
case a Superior man would be put up by the
socialists and hot campaign would be
waged in this county with hope for fusion
with democrats. Whether they put up a
county. ticket will depend largely on what
the republicans and democrats do. If the
socialists see good chance to make strong
showing, and at the same time draw votes
from some candidate who is prominent on the
ticket and who is distasteful to them, they
will go after him. -

station at Ames that Is of vital interest and
practical value to the horse breeders Of Iowa
and the middle west. .
A few years ago, when horses were a drug

creek has commenced and as soon as It
is clear sinking will be resumed. tits the
intention to continue the shaft to quartz
ite, which 1t believes will be reached in a.
short distance, the shaft being at present
1872 feet down. Shortly before work was
stopped the water broke into the shaft in
large volume, and this was taken as an
indication that the quartzite was not far
below-at any event, that change was
about to OCCUR in the formation.
The Gold Hill Mining company Is about
300 feet down in its shaft near the mouth
OF Johnson guleh. In Spearftsh canyon.
This is another, company that is explor-
Ing the deep measures of the Spearish
country. The only work ever done on

a thoroughly modern plant and starts out
under the most favorable auspices. It
has ten stamps, and there is room in the
mill building for ten more, with power
sufficient to operate forty. There is q
large body of ore blocked out, in a shaft
that opens the vertical ledge to the depth
of 300 feet. with cross-cuts and slopes at
each 100 feet. The ore will average about
$40 ton. and of this about half can be
saved by amalgamation, the remainder
being concentrate.
| Ground has been broken for new cya-
nfde mill at the Golden Crest mine on the
head of Two Bit gulch, six miles southeast
of DeadWood, to be erected by the Golden
ICrest company. 1t will be large enough
to handle about 100 tons of ore daily, and
the company has sufficient ore in sight to
run a mill Of that size for years. This ore
Is Of medium grade, and would really
pay to smelt If there were transportation
facilities.
