NEW TON s. TUBBs,

republican nominee for representative
is native of New York state. He came
to Custer county twenty-five years ago
and has been resident of this county
eyer since. Upon his arrival he en-
gagged in agriculture and stock raising
and has been so engaged ever since he
took up his residence here. He has
been closely identified with the growth
and development of the county and has
been interested in public matters, being
liberal and public spirited. Mr.. Tubbs
was a democrat tor many years, but
had always been careful student OF
policies of parties and the effect of those
policies when put into execution. About
ten years ag he became satisfied from
the logic of events that the paramount
and dominant principles of the demo
cratic party, when worked into admin
istratiye and economic policies did not
bring to the country that degree of mat
erial welfare and prosperity theorists
promised, and his observation taught
him that under republican administra
tion greater degree of material we'll
being attended the country. Becoming
satisfied of these facts he allied himself
with the republican party and has been,
and is now an enthusiastic republican.
Mr. Tubbs hrs extensive interests in
this county and elsewhere in the Hills,
which has been acquired through his
own energy and thrift. Mr.. Tubbs' long
residence here, his active interest in
public affairs, his diligence and intimate
knowledge of the needs and resources
of the Hills will make him valuable
member of the legislature.

Our Legislative Ticket.

VIM. i. Hanley, republican nominee
Tor state senator from the 4lst senatorial
district, was born near Springfield. Iii.

seventeen, his parents moved to Nebras.
ka and engaged in farming and stock
raising, and the subject of this sketch
went with them. At the age of 20 Mr..
Hanley was placed in charge of what was
then known as the Mcclure ranch, in
Holt county, Nebraska. In this capac-
ity he had under his direction a large
number of men running from 20 in the
winter to 50 in the summer. From l35
to l4O cows we're MIXED in the summer
and as high as 800 steers were fed In
winter. Another evidence of the i'm
portsnce of the position to be held by SO
young man is in the fact that to pro,
tect the holdings of his employers from
prairie fires it was necessary to make
over 30 miles of FIRE guard yearly. This
important position Mr.. Hanley held for
more than five years, to the entire salts.
faction of the owners of the ranch
After that he took charge of a pork
packing establishment at Neigh, Neb-
raska, and after that was sold, went to
Chadron, Nebraska, and assumed charge
Of wholesale provision house. From
there he went to Douglas. Wyoming
and opened meat market, and had
charge of the supply of meats to the
Northwestern Railway contractor.
After that was completed he located at
Nonpareil, Nebraska, and became agent
and examiner for northwestern Nebras-
ka for the Dakota Mortgage 4 Loan Cor
poration of Boston. In 1890 he came to
Custer City and embarked in merchan-
dising, in which business he has been
engaged ever since, however, upon the
organization Of the First National Bank
OF Custer, he was rendered the position
of cashier in that institution, which he
accepted and resigned active manage.
ment of his mercantile concerns. II
will be seen from the foregoing that Mr..
Hanley is a western man. That he is
cosmopolitan, and Of varied capabilities.
In all Mr.. Hanley's undertakings he has
been successful. He has led the siren
uous life, and can, or could, when in the
saddle, ride down as many horses in a
day as any rider, when the stress oil
business required it.
In political matters Mr.. Hanley has
no ancestral republican lineage to point
to as proof that he is a republican
with republican antecedents and herit-
age. He was not born of republican
parents, rocked in a republican cradle
and injured in republican environ
ment. On the contrary, his grandfather
was democrat, his father was a demo.
crat and all his brothers are democrats.
As Mr.. Hanley was approaching man
hood, and the time when he should as.
sumo citizens duty, ne began to study
for himself the political parties and
what they stood for and achieved. AS
a result of such investigation be became
that the republican party re-
presents that which contributed most
largely TO the general welfare, and he
aligned himself with that party, and
his first vote was republican vote, and
to that party he has been attached ever
since.

PLATINUM IN THE IyANHoE GROUP.

from an analytical chemist which dis
closes the fact that the ore in one of the
Ivanhoe claims carries platinum. 1t
shows that enough of that desirable
metal can be obtained to make it pay.
provided working process can be elab-
Grated to extract the metal from the
combination in which it is held. Of
course it is one thing to obtain result
in laboratory, and another thing to
approximate that result on commercial
scale. To formulate such a process will
now be in order and we shall be glad to
hear that it has been accomplished.
Our own investigations along that line

ago that it will be found that platinum
is as common in Custer county as gold.
