day morning from manager E. n.
Lamont Of the Raymond Consolidated
mines on Ohio creek, taken from the
tunnel started couple of months ago
t. penetrate the main vein. At an esti
mated distance OF 1900 feet from the
entrance. At 500 feet . magnificent
vein, four feet in width, was struck
quite unexpectediy and the ore IN ques-
tion, which is exceedingly rich, was
taken from it. The tunnel is 500 feet
below the top, which will allow a large
amount OF stopeing to be done.
The Raymond Consolidated proper
ties are one Of the Oldest, as well as oneof
the richest groups of mining properties
in the Gunnison country and undoubt-
edly have q future no less marvellous
than their past.

The ballot box we use is just like
those used Mt state elections. II is
locked by three keys and all must be
used to open the box.
We have locked the box and given
key to each Of the three judges and the

night.
No more counts will be made OF the
ballots coming in and no one, not even
the RECORD Office force, will have any
idea how the vote is running.
The figures published during the past
few weeks gives some idea who are re-
ceiving votes, but somebody Is holding
votes back and the final count will show
big increase.

MEETING OF THE
CITY COUNCIL.
The Proposition of The Park
Center Land And Water Com
pany Turned Down. Reso-
iutions To Change The
Ordinance Governing
The Sprinkling of
Lawns Adopted.

At an adjourned regular meeting of
the city council last Monday night the
proposition of s. II. Atwater on behalf
of the Park Center Land and Water
Company to supply the city with s24.-
600 gallons OF water per day from Will
sons creek at the rate of five cents per
thousand gallons WAS reported ad-
versely by the committee, which was
adopted and placed on file for further
consideration. The action Of he.com-
mittee was predicated on the cost,
which it was contended was out of
proposition to the benefits derived. and
to the depleted condition of the city's
exchequer.
On motion of Alderman Mingay =
resolution was adopted changing the
hours for sprinklipg lawns and irrigs-
tion for any purposes whatever. The
resolution, which will become effective
after June 10th. provided the ordinance
is changed to comply with its stipula-
sions, prescribes that all of that portion
Of the city lying north of the big ditch
shall be permitted to use water from
the city maine for irrigation purposes
only during the hours from 5a m. to
9 .. m. and that portion Of the city
lying south OF said big ditch only dur

RADIO politics is the great number Of

riding on paid .for-fares were the news

party or faction, can get an unlimited
amount Of transportation for his sup
porters on about any road in the state.
Its hard to see where the railroads get
the return benefit.
The only man i ever heard Of who
declined to ride on free tickets from
the railroads, was Mayor Coulter of this
city. 1t WAS when he was . member
Of the Nebrasks state legislature. He
had been instructed by his constitu-
tants to bring about some reforms in
state railroad management. No sooner
was he elected than all the railroads
sent him their usual annual pAsses. But
he quietly laid them on the shelf and
went on paying his fare just as before.
