 k. F. Thompson has let contract to sink the shaft on the Idaho mine, Ger bat, fifty feet deeper. At the bottom of the shaft there is four foot body of ore that averages 25$ in gold and silver and Mir. Thompson proposes to ship couple of carloads of this ore to the shelter to ascertain just what can be done with it. The mine is in one of the best gold belts in the county and it is believed will open into a big paying property. On the east of the Idaho is the Golden Gem that has pro- duced several hundred thousand dol lars above the POO level. On the sur face the Idaho had a much better showing than the Gem and it is to be expected that it will, like the Gem, improve in depth.

The Sewer Commissioners.

This important commission held its first
meeting in Council Chamber last Monday,
and organized by elecsing Warner Uuder-
wood chairman and Jos. W. Merritt, secre-
tary. The entire session was consumed in
arriving at basis of procedure, and it was
finally agreed to impose an assessment of
20 cents a running foot on all property
fronting the sewer, which it is estimated
would yield about S25, 600 The balance
of the cost of the system to be levied as
other taxes are levied, according to assessed
value.
There are about twelve miles of sewer,
or SO, 800 feet, at 20 cents would yield S12-
672, as both sides of the street ars assessed,
this sum must be multiplied by two, which
makes S25, ,344. Some allo vance must be
made for intersecting streets and corner
lots. A depth of $50 feet will probably be
allowed to go with corner properties, though
the question has not been finally settled.

federation of the United States official
chemist, the State Boa ds of Agriculture.
the Grange Organizations, the Agricultural
Colleges and other farming societies
Nodefnite action was taken on the game
laws, but from the statements made it was

the farmers rights.
Considerable opposition developed to the
present game law providing that hunters
from others states must take out $40 Ii
cense before they can hunt In this State.
Under this law, it was claimed, that having
once secured a license from the State hun

4 Conspiracy FOUL.
= Jersey Postmaster Conspires to
Dust Female letter Carrier

A woman Mrs Hattie Linch, by name,
is making peck Of trouble for postmaster
Ad. Handle, of Elmer in return for a BUSH
ell of trouble that Handle has made for her
At present Handle is on top to use the
political vernacniar of the day Strange to
say, all the news of this conspiracy comes
from Washington, the gilded capitol of the
Nation, Notwithstanding the fact that Elmer
contains one of the brightest newspaper men
in South Jersey, and one who eats In
dependence three times a day to keep his
courage up.
The story that comes up from Washing
ton is that last Thursday Mrs. Linch
learned that she was fred and without
waiting to change her regumentals or curl
her hair, she boarded train for Washing
ington. She arrived there Thursday after
Office hours, aud bright and early last Fri
day dove into the department devoted to
postal affairs She found the right depart
ment after many rebuffs and to him told her
story, the substance of which was that she
was the victim of conspiracy and all be-
cause she had no vote, and postmasteI
Handle wanted voter handling the mail
JOS Mayhew, the local Republican boss,
also came in for share Of blame
She was told If she could prove charges
against her untrue she might get re-instated
and Mrs. Linch started for home with fire
in her eye and fight in her heart. A news
paper reporter caught her at the railroad
station and she told him that Joseph
/ Mayhem has got the place now, He is a
farmer living near me and a politician. He
has been after the job long time, and now
he's got it. Representative Loudenslager
represents my district, but | cannot get
him to do anything until | can prove that
/ it was conspiracy that caused me to be
dismissed l have served year all but
three weeks, and during all that time Ad
Kandal has been lighting me. He never
wanted woman carrier there, but b.
couldn't stop my appointment because
pdSSSt ulSuct 0uc iCSb 0t4o ACcSif ~
the place by merit alone.
He tried to block my taking the examin-
alton. In that he failed. Then be tried
to block my appointment, In that he alsf
failed But he never let up, and now he
has succeeded in having me dismissed.
Why, he came to the town and told every
body that he was going to drive nae out ol
the government service. When | took the
route there were only 500 pieces of mai
delivered on it in month. In the year
have been there I have increased this tc
5000 pieces, which ! delivered in Decem
ber last.
Taken all in all, this war on Mrs. Lincf
is about the most exciting piece of news
that Elmer has developed for many months
and unless Mr.. Lineh asserts himself, and
takes Mrs L. out of the fray, the fur will
fly in Elmer yet, and Joe. Mayhem will
have the hottest job he ever tackeled.
