"Mines are not always sold on
their merits. Good experts have
turned down properties that after
wards made their owners bonanza
kings, and the greatest gold mine in
the world had to be salted to be sold
''Since George Hearst bought the
Homestake in 1877, It has become
the greatest gold producer in the
world. 1t has paid more than 10, =
100000 in dividends, and produces
neatly $50, 900 day in gold. But
when he was negotiating for the pur.
chase of 1t, 1t was to the average
mine examiner very ordinary
prospect, with primitive little
arastra mill on It and uncertain and
varying clean. ups. Only practical
old miner like George Hearst could
see its possibilities. He offered to
take the property mt s30, ZOO IL the
next clean up should be equal to the
last.
1.-THE owners were Fred and Moses
Manuel, the original discoverers,
and II. B. Young, n broker at Dead
wood. Ten thousand dollars a piece
meant great deal to them. They
considered 1t a good price for the
Homestake. They had faith in the
property, but they understood that 1t
would take capital to make mine
of 1t, and they had no capital.
1.-THE cleanup which attracted the
attention of Senator Hearst had been
unusually rich. Some little nuggets
must have found their way under
the roller. When the crucial clean
up came. the nuggets, in the un-
reliable disappointing fashion of
their kind, failed to put In an
appearance. The Manuel brothers,

The note brought three gold eagles

Wood Gaining.


 The following is an extract from d letter from Mir. J. J. Baugh, of Searcy, in reply to letter of inquiry f.om a citizen of Forrest City, in regard to the statement made by the St. Francis County News that Davis carried White county two weeks ago by majority of 10 tol:
 There has been no vote on Jeif Davis in this county since his last race for the goyernorship On February 13, two Davis men were nominated fo1 the legislature, but one of them say the Wood men nominated him. They were nominated on plurality votes there being OF candidates Lindel received SIS; Roberts 755. The tota vote east was 2176, so you see they dit not get anything like d majority of tht votes, much less lO to |, as the New, claims Wood is gaining here and i. he don't carry the county it will be al even draw.

gates rom W oodrun, four of whom supported Mr. Parrish in the pri. mary, came to the convention and gave me cordial support and aided in my triumphant nomina. ion. l know all eight of the dele gates from Woodruff to be honor able men, and l do not believe that they could be induced 10 support any candidate in q convention that they did not believe had honestly been instructed for by their coun- ty.
 My friends, any disappointed candidate can find partisan friends who will testify that errors exist hero and there in every election that is held. They may be honest in their belief, but woefuIIy wrong in their premises. Any candidate may stir up strife among neighbors and friends, that may last long af ter he himself Is dead and forgot. ton, by prylng around and nosing into elections Tn different commp- mites. and yet be entirely wrong in his conclusions. Mr. Parrish s cry of fraud IS simply the old, old wall of the defeated office seeke who feels that it will take more than the merit he possesses to se- cure the office he seeks. It has existed since the dawn of political parties and will exist until the doom of day. Fellow citizens, 1 defeated Mir. Parrish in the last primary and convention as fairly as any candidate could defeat an other and l can bring as many affi davits to show it as he can bring to controvcrt It. 1 do not want to worry you with them, however, unless you demand them at my hands. 1 believe in telling my troubles to officers who are elected to listen to tbe woes of 1 their fellow men and not to citi. zens who have to work for liv. ing for themselves and those de- l pendent upon them.
 Make an honest inquiry into the cause existing between Mr. Par. rish and myself and try it by its merits alone, and l shall be satis. fled. l appeal to you, however, not to allow political rot to take the place of intelligent reason. I am at my post of duty working for you. While so doing, will you allow MT. Parrish to defeat me in my absence upon the fimsy case that he presents against me?
 Thanking you for the many courtesies and favors shown me in the past, l am,
 Most sincerely yours to com mand, R. B. MACON.
