Struck Il Rich.

Word reached Troy Tuesday that a
rich strike had just been made in the
old Sunset tunnel three-quarters of a
mile east of the Silver King, the Voll-
mer group. Dick Mann, at depth Of
100 feet, uncovered four-foot vein Of
gold quartz that runs $3.50 to the ton.
1t is understood that Mr.. Mann was
prospecting in an old tunnel and did a
little sinking when he struck small
ledge which widened into four-foot
ledge that is enormously rich and will
tend to cause considerable excitement
once more in Ruby creek district
This is one Of the most important
strikes ever made in this section and it
is to be hoped will prove to be even
better than the Ruby creek prospectors
dare hope for.

One Of the largest crowds that ever
assembled at the Troy hall greeted
Hon. w. E. Borah when he opened
the campaign here last Friday evening.
Dubois had asked several questions
which he intimated he would like to
have Mr.. Borah answer and that the re-
nublican nominee for U. S. Senate did
not evade or side-step in complying
With Mr.. Dubois those who attended
can bear testimony. Every conten-
ton raised by F. T. Dubois was simp-
" riddled and in the light Of what Mr..
Borah said dwindled into thin air, leav-
ing no vestage of an issue upon which
a democrat might stand. But Mr..
Borah did more than answer Mr..
Dubois. He enthused the republicans
and filed them with renewed hope and
courage. He made it plain that there
is something at stake besides petty
strife or local issues, and made it plain
that he was working for the upbpilding
Of republicanism in Idaho. He said he
was not in sympathy with the inde-
pendent movement in Latah county
and hoped to see the entire republican
ticket elected. Mr.. Borah made fine
impression on the people Of Troy and
his address will long be remembered as
one the best efforts ever heard here.
Ascompred to Senator Dubois the even
ing before the contrast was sufficient
to give democrats blind staggers, while
the republicans are happy and jubilant,
and confident of success.

Dubois in Troy.

The opening Of the democratic cam
paign in Troy was not much OF sue
cess so far as the size Of the crowd was
concerned and the enthusiasm shown.
During the entire speech by the sena-
tor no interest was manifest, and 1t was
evident even to the distinguished speak
or that "Mormonism" is not bowling
success as a paramount issue here IN
Latah county. After sizing up the
situation the senator cancelled two OF
his Latah county dates and left the
county. He admitted that the fusion
deal was Of no value to his candidacy
for the u. S. senane and that he was
onlv wasting his time here. The
fusion movement was organized with
the sole purpose Of bringing about the
election of a democratic sheriff and
nothing else and Mr.. Dubois was mol
long in seeing that so far as ne was
concerned there was nothing in the
Tndenendent movement for him.
