GREAT SHOWING
AT THE ABILENE.
Property Getting Better As
Development Work
Proceeds.

Warren Cable, superintendent of
the Adelene, in the Cracker Creek
district, who was in from the prop.
erty this week, states that everything
is looking better than ever there.
He has finished the surface explora-
tion on the ledge for IA distance of
1900 feet, the entire distance of
which shows exceptionally good
values. At one point where the
ledge was opencut IL showed a width
of eighteen feet, twelve inches of
which ran over $1,000; at another
point the pay streak was two feet
with an average of $50: u third open
cut revealed IA shoot of five feet with
so ore. The trenching on the ledge
throughout the entire distance named,
Mr.. Cable states, has given most sat.
isfactory results. The ore. he says,
Is practically the same in character
as that found on the Buckeye and the
Great American, which carries such
high values in free gold, and his
property, he thinks, beyond any
quetsion has the same lead.
The main work is now being done
on the crosscut. This Is in fifty feet
with about fifty more to drive before
the ledge is reached. 1t will give "a
depth of 100 feet, but by drifting IA
depth of >, 500 feet can be attained.
Mr. Cable expects the owners of
the property from Newcastle. Penn
sylyania, here in few days. and II
is probable, he states, that arrange.
ments will be made for mill when
they arrive.

JURORS WERE DIVIDED, JUDGE DECIDED.
Although There Strong Sentiment Against 1t, Superior
Court Being This Week But Little Business on the
DOckets, the Session Will Be Short

The May term of Terrell superior
court convened Monday morning with
Judge H G. Sheffield presiding. A
petition containing about forty sigma
lures had been presented to Judge
Sheffield asking that no court be held,
it being stated that the farmers were
TOO busy to leave their crops. The
Judge, therefore, polled the traverse
aud grand jurors to ascertain their
will in the matter. The majority OF
the former were in favor of the ses'
sion, but about two-thirds of the latter
voted to postpone the court.
Judge Sheffield stated that in view
of the fact that the session would be
very short, and that one day had al
ready been practically lost, 1t would be
the best policy to go on with the work

The Dawson bows played very good
game, and showed up better than in
any other they have played this sea-
