An Unprecedented Number OF
Prohibition Legislative Candi-
dates Have Filed for the
Primary Election.

The Minnesota Prohibition Legisla-
tive Movement has scored another big
success. Our election law was not in
tended to facilitate the birth and
growth of new parties. 1t seems well
calculated, rather, to retard them by
the burden of expense which 1T lays
upon candidates and in other ways.
Yet a remarkably large number OF
Prohibition candidates for the Legis-
lature have filed for the primary elec-
ton which will occur on the 18th inst
They number thirty-nine men in thirty
four districts, more than half OF the
total number of districts. We take
great delight in placing before our
readers the names of those who are
to lead our out-to-win fights this
year Nothing so practicable or hope
full has ever been attempted in Mime
sofa. Now let us get to work and
that without delay. We have a mort
gage on some seats in the new Cap
itol Let foreclosure proceedings be
begun at once.
The candidates named are for the
Lower House unless otherwise stated.
Where a candidate is nominated to
represent only a part of Senatorial
district, we name only the counties
and wards in the Senatorial district
which may vote for such candidate.

Excitement reigned for some time
Association yesterday in the Midway
building when H. H. Goodall, repre-.

would use his influence to further
the interests of that corporation. At
least twenty men Immediately sprang
to their feet and tried to secure the
floor, and the chairman raped his
gavel in vain for order.
Major C. L. Tiltop of the Draymen's
Association was the first on his feet,
and. interrupting Goodall. he shouted:

BY this time half the men in the
assemblage were standing up. their

When order was finally restored
Tilton was given the floor and for sew

Harbor Commissioner Charles Spear
read a report from the board of which
he is a member defending that body
from charges of inefficiency. The re-
port declared that the Commissioners
were doing all in their power to make
necessary improvements, but that their
hands were tied by legislative red
tape. According to Spear, it took
three years to obtain the bond issue
of s2,00O,0o0 provided by the State for
the benefit of the port, and the money
had only been received and the con-
tract for seawall let few days

SANDSTONE LOOKS WELL
Change In Formation Is Encountered
in Sinking of Shaft

The company shaft in the Sandstone
claim, upon which the first strike in
Goldfield district was made, is now
down 290 feet, and is passing into a
strongly mineralized formation. A
strike of considerable Importance was
rumored this week, but the report
lacked confirmation.
The change in formation leads the
company to think that important de-
velopments may occur at any time. The
Sandstone is being thoroughly exploit
ed, and workings ramify every part of
the ground.
lie region around the Sandstone is
being more thoroughly prospected than
ever before. Several companies have
begun work to the west, north and
east of the ridge within the past few
weeks.
There is little or no wash in that por-
ton of the district, and strong forma-
lions are easily traceable. There is
every reason to believe that this part
of the camp will become very active
the coming season.-0oldfield News.
