THE COTTON GROWERS.
Southern Planters Are Rounding Mp
sat New Orleans for Conference.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 23.-Del-
gates from all of the cotton growing
states are rounding up here for what
promises to be the most important
convention in the history of the
southern cotton industry. The sessions
will begin tomorrow and will continue
through the greater part of the week.
In addition to the planters themselves
the convention will be we'll attended by
southern bankers and others interested
in the cotton industry. The primary
object of the gathering is to bring
about close alliance among all the
soutehrn agricultural organizations
with view to controlling the cotton
market. In this connection a plan will
be discussed for the establishment of
a system whereby the major part of
the south's cotton crop can be stored
on uniform basis and loans made TO
the farmers on the cotton SO stored.
The establishment of a cotton ex-
change in each state, through which
the stapue can be sold direct to the
manufacturers, will be discussed, and
the reduction of the cotton acreage
and the adoption of a local warehouse
system will also receive attention.

MILL WILL REVERT.

BELLLNGHAM, Jan. 23.-It is vir-
tually certain that the single mill in
this city which was sold to japanese
will revert to it's original owners, the
Washington Single company, in a
day or two. T. Furushima, the man.
ager, has been having the most
troublesome time of his business ca
reer trying to insure the mill or raise
a bond in accordance with his agree
ment, but he has failed, and there
seems nothing for him to do but to
relinquish the property. A member of
the company said today that the COM
pany probably will take over the mill
this week.
Furushima was required by the
Washington Single company to in
sure the mill for $500 or raise a bond
for the same amount. The insurance
companies have declined to take what
they consider a great risk largely on
account of the hostility the japanese
have raised, and no one can be found
to furnish money for bond.

SHEPHERD HOLDS JAIL RECORD
Has Been In All County Jails In State
Of lows But Ten.

FAIRFIELD, Iowa. Jan. 23.-In the
arrest Of Dan Shepherd. charged with
the murder of Christian Wowelsdorf,
the authorities believe they have one
of the most desperate criminals in the
southeastern part of the state. Shep-
herd, it is said, has terrorized his
neighbors for years. At the age of 40
he is pronounced by his neighbors a
worthless vagabond, a professional
thief, and officers say that he has been
incarcerated in more jails in Iowa than
any other man. In fact, Shepherd has
been heard to boast that he had been
in every county Jail in Iowa but ten,
and in that list of ten he included the
Jail for his home county.
Several years ago Shepherd was a
renter on the farm where Womelsdorf
was brutally murdered. Womelsdorf
had built shack for Shepherd and al
lowed him a percentage on a clearing.
Shepherd took contract and then re-
fused to work. Later he was asked by
his neighbors to leave the county.
The neighbors had been missing too
many chickens and geese. While
Shepherd was away, Womelsdorf had
the shack burned, taking this manner
to rid himself of an undesirable ten
ant. Shepherd upon his return quar-
relied with Wowelsdorf over the mat
ter.
The state will undertake to show
at Shepherds trial that Womelsdorf
was killed for money and revenge.
While the case is being prepared, gos
sip is free in the neighborhood. 1t is
remembered that Wowelsdorf married
several years ago, almost Immediately
after he had been divorced from his
first wife. With the second wife life
has not been harmonious. Two years
ago, about the time that Shepherd
lived upon the farm, Mr.. and Mrs.
WOWelSOOcI entered INTO a most oX-
traordinary contract for managing the
farm. Each party to the contract did
own part of the stock, did a share of
the choring and shared in the receipts
and expenditures. In the evening the
neighbors would see Womelsdorf take
his cows to water, feed his hogs and
horses and then go home. Almost inn
mediately the wife would go through
the same work for her stock The
couple often quarreled in German
: Wowelsdorf is believed to have saved
a large sum of money His wife has
$1,000 in the Fairfield bank, but the
husband kept his somewhere else. The
theory Of the. state is that Shepherd
wanted to get at this money. No
charge of partnership in crime has
been made against Shepherd and Mrs
Womelsdorf, but neighborhood gossip
is at its height ~

The CAMP WILL Be LIvEEY NEXT SUMMER

M. Will Barrick, superintendent OF
the Apex Gold Mining 81 Milling Co.,
made flying trip to Apex Sunday to ex-
anime some work being done by John
German and Jamas Nolan of this city on
the property. Mr.. Barrick was we'll
pleased with the work done oy German
and Nolan. Mr.. Barrick has purchased
two mining claims from John German,
known as the Trio and September lodes,
adjoining the Rochester group, in the
Pine Creek mining district.
The September and Trio lodes are con-
sidered two Of the best claims in that
district. A shaft sunk on the September
to a depth of twenty five feet shows
streak Of ore two and one half feet wide,
which runs from $500 to s340O per ton
in gold.
Mr.. Barrick is now forming or causing
to be formed corporation, including the
two aforementioned claims, as well as
other claims belonging to him in the
same district. The capitalization of
stock is to be 100000 shares, an i Mr..
Barrick is to turn over to John German
100000 shares Of stock in the company
just specified, and cash payment has
also been made.
Mr.. Barrick has commenced work in a
cross cut tunnel and will drive the same
as fast possible with two shifts of
miners. Mr.. Michael Whalen has been
placed in charge OF the work as foreman,
and expects to make paying property
out it 10 less than six months. Mr..
Whalen is a practical mining man, hav-
ing had many years of experience IN Gil
pin and Teller counties.

SOME GOOD RETURNS
The Running Lode Below Black Hawk is
Producing Some Fine Ore
These Days.
LESSEES REApING A GOLDEN HARVEST SURE

Lessees working in the Running lode,
property Of the Cover Mines Syndicate,
have been getting some handsome re-.
turns of late. 1t is said that two Italians
working on the 1OOO-foot level, received
returns from recent shipment which
netted them in the neighborhood OF SIS
per day to the man. They only had a
small streak OF ore to start with but
the mineral has now opened up to nearly
a foot in width and they have an ex-
ceptionally good thing. Other parties
leasing in different parts OF the mine are
doing well and the property is looking
fine. Superintendent Dunstone is keep
ing up development on the property and
is sinking from the 1900 foot level. When
this lift is completed to the 400 levels
will be run and new ground opened up.
The Running lode is making an enviable
record and is among the best properties
in the county.

Ingram Property in Pine Creek.

The Ingram Mining company, operat-
ing the Ingram mine in Apex, above the
Mackey, is taking out some very good
looking ore from two foot streak en-.
countered while driving a level. The ore
assays S62.55 in gold, silver and copper,
and is of gray copper variety.
Work by the Ingram company. which
has the property under lease and bond
has only been in progress since last Feb
ruary. Operations are being confined to
the sinking of shaft in the tunnel,
forty-s feet from the surface. At pres
the top and is down seventy feet from
the tunnel level. 10 sinking large
quantity of high grade mill dirt has been
taken out. No shipments Of this have
been made as yet, but the company Will
commence shipping. within the next
thirty days.
Before this company took hold of the
Ingram property it had been idle since
1896. In shaft sunk to depth of l65
feet rich ore was extracted to the amount
of $4,000. The sinking of the new shaft
is being done with whim, but new ma
chinery has been purchased ana Will be
installed as soon as the snow melts in
the spring sufficiently to enable teams
to haul the engine and hoist to the mine.
\ shaft house will then be erected which
will be 2Sx2S feet in dimensions. When
equipped with the necessary machinery

steadily and in proper manner, the Iu-
gram ought to become good producer,
being located as it is in section where
all the adjoining properties have yielded
handsomely. Local and eastern capital
is working the mine with [. Pollard as
manager, and James Ingram, one of the
best miners in the county, as superin-
tendent.
