MISS SWETT'S GOOD WORK

The Eastern High School girls basket
pail team barely nosed out a victory
IN the game with the Central High seven
at the Western High School gymnasium
yesterday afternoon, when the Capitol
Hin representatives won by I3 to i2.
Central was compelled to appear with
three substitutes, and for q time il sook-
ed all Eastern. In the first half tho
light blue and white put up soma excel
lent team work. easily working the ball
down the field TO the goal throwers. who
seldom failed in try for the basket.
In this period the work of Miss Costin,
at center for Eastern, was all the
money, but in the second half she fol-
lowed too much the devices and desires
or her own heart, making ionr throws
to the end of the hail instead OF pasEing
10 her side-centers.
Central Finished Strong.
The dark blue and white was quick
to take advantage of this fact. and by
steady team play and fine passing
brought the score from 10 to s, which
was the standing at the end OF the first
half, UP to the final result Central
came so strong toward the close cf the
game that had there been 4 few more
minutes OF play the balance might cas-
ily have been on the other side. The
passing of Miss Gostin. in the first half,
the goal throwing of Miss Lockwood.
and the guarding Of Miss Pyles, for
Eastern, was the best done for that
school. For the northwest institution
Miss SWEET. at side-center; Miss Gun
ninghan, at goal. and MiZs BeIlote, at
center. did the most creditanls playing.
This is the third time Eastern has won
from the Central contingent, and there
Is stu another game TO be played. East
ern is so far in the lead for the, cham
pionship, and will play, what viii prob
ably be its last game. with Technical

Croix Features of His Platform.
Special to The Journal.

Hudson, Wis, July 2s.-Mayor Francis Ma
guire Of Hudson, the sturdy son Of Old Erin
who has recently attracted the attention of
northwestern newspaper readers by his dramatic
fight against the Hudson city council over the
question Of supplying the municipality with
water and light, has been selected by the demo-
cratic politicians Of the eleventh congressional
district the most available man for their
party to run for congress, and he announced
his candidacy today. His republican opponent
from this district, who is a candidate for the
republican nomination against Assemblyman O.
G. Kinney of Dunn county.
Mayor Mcguire Is one of the most picturesque
figures in the politics of the northwest, and II
any man can beat the veteran Jenkins, he will
do it. He has been elected mayor Of Hudson
three times In spite Of the fact that the city
is overwhelmingly republican.
Mayor Mcguire was born at Enniskann, Fer
mannagh county, Ireland, Feb. /, 1855, ant
came to America In 1873, locating at Dubuque
Iowa, where he entered the railroad service
In the spring Of 1880 he came to Hudson, where
he has since lived as farmer and q steamboat
man. He has a wife and several children
Mayor Mcguire is man of ideas, and ha.
promulgated platform favoring government lib
erality toward the old soldiers. He is strongl,
in favor Of establishing a county system o.
rural free delivery in every county OF the eley
enth district, and In congress would work hare
for a revision Of the tariff downward n,
would support amendments to strengthen tn,
rate bill. . -. --5'-ssf
Mayor Maguires special interest, however, 4
in the improvement Of the channel of the st
Croix river, which, he asserts, has been over
looked or neglected by Congressman Jenkins
He would strive earnestly to have the govern
ment clean out the channel Of the river all tn
way to Taylor's Falls, working hand in han,
with Congressman Stevens in this endeavor. H
also believes that a lock ought to be put in a

GOLD DEPOSITS

PURE DUST IN SAND ON LUCK
ERT's PLACE.
Samples Sent to Government Assayer
in the Black Hills Show that the
Precious Metal Is There IN Goodly
Quantities-Discovery Is Twenty-six
Miles Northwest Of Faribault.
SpeciaI to The Journal.

Faribault, Mimi, July 2S.-Probably as rich
gold fields any discovered in which pure gold
in the dust found have been located in
Newmarket township, sections two and three
and range lip, twenty-six miles northwest of
this city.
There seems to be mistake fake about
these deposits, and that they are extensive as to
area and depth, samples have been sent to
Rapid City to the government assaying estab-
llshment, and thoro test made. The assay
OF the poorest samples shows $1.85 ton. after
being fingered by score Of hands, and nearly
half the dust sticking to the fingers.
The gold is pure dust IN sand, and can be
shoveled up easily common sand and the
hills and valleys full OF 1t ground COM
prising nearly 100 acres, some places as deep
forty feet.
The writer has seen the assay certificate
signed by the assayer, l.. Mellinger, and Charles
H Fulton, president of the college Of mines,
Rapid City, S. D. We have spent several days
prospecting there and have samples of the gold
washed and some unwashed.
There is much Of it which will test 81 to
the ton of gravel and sand.
The owner Of the land upon which the gold
has been found is Sam IMckert. living one
mile northwest Of Elcoe, MINI. The farm CON-
prises 240 acres and deposits are found all over
it in lesser richness. The land has been farmed
for forty years by Germans and Scandina VANS,
and Luckert is recent purchaser and discov-
cred the gold while digging postholes.

one Of intense noise. -E
At dusk after the wedding ceremony large

every imaginable contrivance from which sound
could be extracted, besides sticks with which
they beat the sides of the house, and began q
| serenade which continued with brief re-
