JUMPERS MAKE A RAID.
Take Possession Of Silver Pick Con-
paay's Cfeand-

Columbia has an addition, though
it is as yet unnamed and the towns,oe
plat has not been filed. 1t was laid out
durig'the night and NOW a new city Sf
tents extendst from what was the town
limits OF Columbia southwark in the d.
rection OF Jumbo town.
The new eity'is one of squatters or lot
jumpers, as they are sometimes called,
and the.ground of which they have taken
possession is that of the Silver Pick and
Mohawk Mining companies. The jump
ers took possession Wednesday night
and yesterday morning what was before
vacant ground was dotted with tents
laid out in regular streets. Many of
the squatters who were not fortunate
enough to possess tents just pulled up.a
sagebrush or two to make room for bed
ding and took possession Of what grounC
they wanted in this manner.
When the news of the sQuatters' rap
was received here yesterday morning
some,excitement was raised, 1T being the
first organized effort at lot or claim
jumping to be made in the district.
There was all sorts of speculation as
to what action would be taken by the
mining companies to eject the squatters.
As seon as he heard that the jumpers
had taken possession OF the Silver Pick
ground President AL Myers of that COM
panv went over to Columbia and served
notice on the squatters that they must
vacate the ground at once or legal pro-
ceedings would be taken to compel them
to do So
This notice seems to,have had little
effect as the tents are still there to-day
and the number Of squatters, which was
originally about eighty and has been
increased to nearly one hundred and
more tents are going up.
Both sides are determined-the squat
ters to hold the ground and the mining
companies to compel them to vacate and
the ultimate outcome remains to be
seen.
Souae Of the sauatters state that they
are VI Hing to pay fair price for the
land which they have taken possession
of providing townsite is laid out and
transfers made TO them.
From this it is inferred that the OBJ
iect of the ra:d is to compel the compa-
MES to lay ort an addition to the town
of Columbia, where the lots OF the origl-
nal townsite company have nearly all
been sold Whether or not the COM
panies will 10 this is very doubtful and
it is likely hat ejectment preceding
will be * them n! Z rsgai- gossess-
| ion OF the ground.
There is no Likelihood of either side
resorting to ,yiQient measures and the
| whole matter will probably be settled in
the courts unless the squatters decide to
abandon the attempt to take possession
of and hold tle ground which is legally
held by the mining companies as quartz
| lode locations.
/ The sQuetters are .sejd to be nearly all
recent arrivals in Columbia.
When asked i'm regard to the matter
today President Myers Of the Silser
Pick said that his company has no n
intention OF laying ont "a townsite ad-
diton to Columbia but will enforce its
rights in the courts if the ground 3 not
vacated by the squattsrs.

Shipment from Sandstorm.

The Gardner, Oddie and Duflield lease
group continues to be one of the Won
ders of the Goldfeld district. 1t is en-
titled to he classcd as a wonder from the
fact that within two weeks Of operation
shipment of $40, 600 worth OF ore is in
readiness to be sent to the smelters.
The shipment will be made tomorrow
and J. r. Dufeld will go out with it.
1t Will comprise II tons and its value
conservatively stated is 500 per ton.
This ore is the screenings from the loose
dirt shoveled up from the surface, men
ton of which was made in last week 5
issue.
This is not the best to be said of this
lease, however, by any means. Through
the ledge runs an 1S-inch streak from
which the marvellous assays were Sc
cured when the strike was first made.
This ore will assay all the way from
s. 900 to SIC, 900 per ton and the owners
have not touched it at all further than
to assure themselves of its value by as
say certificates. They will attend to the
taking out of this ore when the proper
time comes. Just now they are sinking
an incline shaft, and expect to catch the
ledge at depth of so feet. The leasers
have a force of nine men at work and
when TIE actual taking out Of ore is
ST ..cI this lease will jump into the
front rank of the big producers Cf ~
camp.
Two other adjoining leases are being
operated on the Kendall claim and four
on the Sandstorm ground to the north.
There is hardly possibility Of doubt

Marvellous ore is still being extracted
D from the drift on the 200 level of the
Bowes- Kernick lease on the Jumbo.
That the rich ore body struck two weeks
ago is holding out is beyond question.
Specimens Of the rock show almost half
gold, and it is stated that fifteen sacks
Of rock which is worth 81 900 a sack
have been taken out 1t is too rich to
ship and is said to be kept under guard
at the headquarters of the lease owners.
The shaft is to be sunk to IA depth OF
$50 and this work has been commenced.
If the rich ore body above is found at
this level, of which there is no reasona-
bic doubt, there will be an amount in
sight and of value to staggcr the imag-
ination.
Shipping from the Jumbo was resumed
this week, the Bowes-kernick lease
sending out about 1000 sacks. There
are 5000 sacks still piled up.
Three hundred sacks from the Yer
milvea lease were sent out today and
now that the teams are available the

Quartzite Strike Very Rich.

Recent developments in the Reilly
Krse lease on the Quartzite Fraction,
one of the claims owned by the Dia-
mondfeld Gold Mining company, prove
that property to be even greater than
was first reported ;fter shipping ore
was encountered. In crosscutting the
ledge the lessees have broken into a
shoot of very rich ore at a point l6 feet
from the shaft. An average sample
from II inches Cd this shoot assayed
$402 per ton. The strike was made af-
ter the crosscut had passed through sew
eral feet of milling ore.
The showing on the Quartzite is one
of the best in the camp. There has
been exposed, besides the rich streak, !
feet of ore that runs above 500 per toI
and from to 8 feet OF $35 ore. Tn,
first shipment will be sent out in few
days.

Strike on Red Rock.

A strike which is considered of i'm
portance as extending the proved ter
ritory OF the district was made We'd
nesday in the Red Rock No. , claim OF
the Goldfield Treasure Mining company.
In trenching for the ledge cross vein
feet wide was struck from which the
first assay gave s3l.20. An average OF
six assays from l-2 feet of the vein re-
turned $l4.40. The ore is similar to
that from the Velvet and Manager Girls
wold and other local stockholders of the
company are much elated. Orders for
the stock at Is cents have been placed
but there is none for sale at that price.

display of nerve but shows a woeful
lack of Judgment on the part OF the
author whoever it may be. 1t may
afford him a pleasure to answer a
question propounded by the Post by
taking rap at the Herald. We hope
so for it does not harm us in the least.
II written by Mr.. Royce, the article
above quoted would place him and his
paper on record as supporting the en-
tire state ticket, which all know he
is not doing. There is no need of ac-
cusing Mr.. Royce of boiling. Every
one acquainted with the facts knows
something of the record he has made
for himself. To say that he. is a
REPUBLICAN from principle" and that
he votes his ticket whether it is made
up OF personal friends or not, sounds
very nice, out also wary funny to those
who remember that Mr.. Royce dis
played his principles" and loyalty to
the party by making fight on the
republican nominee for commission er
a few years ago and defeating him for
personal" reasons. 1t sounds very
funny to those. who remember that
when defeated for nomination for a
county office in convention, be made
the race as an independent candidate.
1t sounds very funny when we read
the articles recently quoted from
other papers by the Dispatch In which
he tacitly endorses the sentiments
they express against part Of the pres
emit state ticket. 1t sounds very fun.
ny when it is known that at one time
In his life Mr. Royce was rated as a
democrat. 1tsounds very funny that
ons.who should be acquainted with
the facts In the case should attempt
to pre- judice the mind OF the public
against another by such colossal
ignorance or wilful mlSrepreSen-
tation. 1t sounds very funny that
the writer Of such an article
should fancy 1t vlndlcation OF the
man who habitually performs the
act he condemns in Others.

That's The Way H. Done.

Buy new binder and use 1t year
like Jap; then let 1t stand out under
the trees or behind the barn for the
rest Of the year, where the hogs can
root under 1t; the calves jump on the
floor; the billy goat chew the canvass
and the chickens roost on the reel.
Let the rain soak up the boxes, and
the sun blister the paint. Take out
a few unnecessary bolts TO fix the
cultivator In the spring and another
for the pillow In the fall; let the boards
warp and crack; the tin bend and
rust; let the tongne rot and the
wheels sag, while the hOruets build
nests In the Irvine box and the swal-
lows breed In the drive wheel. Let
dust and sand fill up the bearings and

Bryan,s Victory.

William Jennings Bryan who has
twice been the standard bearer Of
democracy occupied peculiar position
at the recent national convention. He
was the leader OF minority that the
leaders OF eastern democracy and the
representatives Of capital would have
been glad to eliminate from the party
II possible; yet they recognized him as
a factor which could not safely be
ignored. The principles In which he
believes are not In the main the prln-
ciples Of the present day democratic
party, yet he accepts them because Of
o concession on the part OF the other
faction, concession for sake Of har-
mony In the party, concession which
is recognized as personal victory
the majority of the convention favored
the adoption OF a gold standard plank
In the platform, but TO appease Bryan
and his followers who did not, the plat.
form is silent upon this point.
After the adoption Of the platform
which was made TO hold all In line
whether exactly suited with 1t or not,
The convention proceeded to nominate
the candidate Ut eastern democ-
raUy, Judge A. B. Parker. Park,

telegraphed the convention the
following;

This same question was asked by
the Herald laSG week. This appears
To be agitating the hearts OF bOLh ed
itorS. Now we presume 10 a man who
makes a practice OF. boiling bis ticket
or any part OF the ticket In which tile
personnel does not suit him, that this
suggestion Is a very plausible one, but
of all the railing accusations that have
been brought against Mr.. Royce, not
even his worst enemy has ever accused
Inn Ut boiling his ticket. There Is a
principle involved In this, that no
doubt has never appealed To the editor
of the Herald. We're Mr.. Royce at
home he could no doubt satisfy the
gentlemen upon this point. In his
absence we take pleasure and pride In
saying that there Is never a question
as TO his standing In republlcanlsm.

What the People Like in Roosevelt

What the People Like In Roosevelt.
Privilege has had some fairly hard
raps OF late, and the American people
have a pretty clear idea that Mr..
Roosevelt will give 1t a few more be-
fore be lays down his Office. Both
those who buy what they should not
have and thuSe who bull d0ze are be.
ing,taught their place in democracy
where each is as good as his fellow
man, but no better. The gentry In
the Government Printing Office who
had expected to turn the public SER
vice into "closed shop" and to ad-
nit and reject whom they chose, were
brought up with round turn In the
Miller case. The people liked that
tremendously. The greatest magnates
fu the land aided by the shrewdest
lawyers, organized huge corporation
In violation OF the law. The Supreme
Court, at the instance of the admins
tratiOn, ordered it to disSovle. The
people liked that tremendously too.
There is conviction throughout the
country that the interests Of the plain
people, who ask nothing OF the Gov
eminent but but ample protection in
their right to earn an honest living In
