ENTITLED TO ANOTHER TERM

A recent issue of the Hillsborc
Banner says
Governor Sarles has given the
people Of North Dakota an honest,
economical, business administra-
ton, and in case he desires it, we
believe he is entitled to, and will
receive at the hands Of his party
the nomination for a second term.
The Republicans Of Trail have
given him their undivided support
in state conventions and may be
relied upon to stand by him again.
From various other parts of the
state come strong endorsements of
MI. Sarles' administration, which
would indicate that he has not lost
his old-time popularity and would
make an invincible candidate both
in the Republican convention and
at the poles in November"
In furtherance Of this suggestion
The WAsHBURN LEADER modestly
desires to call attention to the fact
that it has in two campaigns cham
pioned the candidacy Of Governor
Sarles. The LEADER urged his can
didacy in 1902, when Frank White
was renominated, believing that the
state then needed an experienced
fnancier and a man of good, sound
Judgment and tact, and it was
pleased to again. support not only
his candidacy in 1904, but his cleo
ton. Time has justified the posi-
ton taken by The LEADER. Gov.
Sarles is a man close to the people,
understands, their conditions and
wants. He is frank, outspoken and
conservative. He wants the affairs
of the state run right, and with that
same degree of care and conserva-
tism that characterized the man
"a
agement of his own extensive bust
ness affairs. In the hands of such
man, the interests of the people,
are safe. He has had one term.
lie is entitled to another, and it is
not likely that any considerable
opposition to him will appear.

The Bismarck Tribune, not be-
ing satisfied with securing every
thing sat or near" Bismarck, reach
es out and tries to take from us
Sacawea, the Indian woman who
guided Lewis and Clark over the
Rocky mountains. The Tribune
in order to secure a.shistonio point
for Bismarck, would have .-us be-
lieve that the noted. explorers:
Lewis and CLARK spent The winter
of 1904 and ''05 where Bismarck
now stands. Tbs: explorersiinnf their
diary speak of passing that place
and also Of the ruins of the Man
dan villages :. The party passed on
up the Missouri river to point a
few miles above Washburn, at a
place that is now known as Elm
Point. At this place the expedi-
ton spent the winter, instead of at
or near Bismarck. Sacawea, the
"bird woman was acaptive among
the Mandan Indians, and had been
sold to an Indian trader, Chabo-
neau. In the spring the expedi-
ton started on their way, Chabo-
neau and wife being hired as uides
These are historical facts and it is
a hard matter to dispute them and
if a statute is to be erected, this is
the proper location: on one of the
elevations overlooking the Miss
ouri river and the former home of
the captive Sacawea. The Trib-
une will find it rather uphill work
when it goes to take from us our
historical points of interest and
appropriate them. We have often
the attention of the Histor-
ical Society to the necessity ofpre-
serving these points of interests,
but up to the present time nothing
has been done in the matter.

Senator McCumber is to be con.
graduated upon the passage at las
of the pure food bill through the
Senate, and especially upon the
large vote it received: 60 TOD. This
bill hung fire in congress long be.
fore Senator McC umber became 6
member, and has once passed the
House only to be put to slumber in
the graveyard of the Senate. The
whisky blenders made strong fight
to cut out the clause stipulating
that added ingredients of a pois-
onous nature" made liquor adulter-
ated and misbranded within the
definition of the bill, but the effort
failed, and to the layman it seems
strange that anyone could be found
who would object to such a wise
provision. The following substi-.
tutes were then offered by Senator
McCumber and then agreed to-
"Such liquors shall be deemed mis-;
branded if blended, or if it consists
of an admixture Of the different
grades of the same liquor, or con-
tains or is mixed with other SUBJ
stances and the words blended, rec
tilted, or mixed, as the.case may be,
is not plainly stated on the package
in which the liquor is offered for
sale" The amendment was sus-
pended relating to manufacturers
of proprietary foods, drugs or liq-
uors which contain no unwhole-
some ingredient, from disclosing
their formula-but they will be re-
quired to show the amount of .alco-
holo or opium, if any. The bill aims
to stop interstate traffic in impure
foods, drugs and liquors., unless
properly branded and provides a
maximum fine of $500 and impris-
onment of one year for offenses,
and also for the dealer who know
ingly sells the same.-Bismarck

ALASKA MINERS
RETURN HOME
Dug Plenty of Gold But Expenses
Took Ii All-Now Satisfied
With Southern Ore0on.

John Scribner was in Grants Pass
Wednesday buying tools and supplies
to be used in the working of quartz
mine that he and George Henderson
own on Manhattan gulch at the head
Of Wolf Creek. Mr.. Scribner and his
partner went to Alaska three years
ago not content with the gold mines
Of Southern Oregon and they had
bright hopes o. making big stake in
the land Of the midnight sun. They
made some money, but no more than
they could have in the less famous but
more certain mines Of Josephine
county. During the past year they
have worked rich placer claim in the
Tanns Valley. Their trading point
was Rampant City and their supplies
come high. Potatoes cost $22 sack,
eggs never lower than $l.75 dozen
and bacon 30 cents pound aud -four
was the cheapest food at 7.50 a hun
dred. Thus it took very rich mine
to even pay expenses. The weather
in the Summer is fairly pleasant in
the Tanna Valley but in the Winter it
is truly arctic in its riRor. Last
January the thermometer never got up
to 30 degrees below zero and it stood
most of the time 60 degrees and lower
going as low as "a degrees. One
whole week they we're not able to get
out of their cabin because of the fear
full cold.
Mr.. Scribner arrived home in Wolf
Greek on the Fourth, but his partner,
George Henderson will not leave
Alaska until in September as he
stayed to collect balance due on the
sale of their mine. They operated
their Wolf Greek mine before going
to Alaska and made good wages with
the two-tub arrastre with which it il
equipped. Mr.. Scribner will hire two
men to assist him and will get the
mine opened up and ore on the dumI
and the mill in order by the time hii
partner gets back and the Winter
rains have set in to afford power FOL
the arrastre. They have 200 feet Of
tunnel and their mine has a well de
vevloped vein carrying high values.

A HILL SCANNED WITH
GOLD BEARING VEINS
That ls the Case at the Opp Mine
Plenty Of Gold But Little
Watsr-Gunnell Rssisns.

A. H. Gunnell. who with bis par
tner, Harry e. Foster. has charge Of
the Opp mine near Jacksonville, was
in Grants Pass this Thursday and FRI
day attending to business and pur-
chasing supplies for use at the mine.
Mr.. Gunnell stated that the Opp as
development work progressed, was
showing up better aud is now demon
strated to be the biggest and best
producing mine in Southern Oregon.
The very EXTENSIVE development work
that has been done the past year has
demonstrated the proof of the opinion
of many mining men that the hills
about the Opp property are seam ed
with veins of gold bearing rock carry
ing good values, for the twelfth vein
has been opened up at this famous
mine, this last strike made in Timber
gulch up the hill from the original
vein.
The mine being toward the head OF
Jackson creek shortage of water

takes place each dry season. !. Manager
Gunnell states that they are now able
to run but 10 to 10 Of the 20 stamps
and IL excessive dry weather comes on
may have to close down later in the
season. It is the plan Of the company
before the next dry season to secure
supply Of water. The present work
ing on the mine is by tunnel and the
lowest level is 100 feet above the bed
Of jackson creek. There Is some
water in the mine and it is tbught by
opening levels below the bed Of the
creek that ample water can be had for
the mill by pumping. If that plan
does not afford the required water
supply then a we'll will be drilled in
the expectation of securing artesian
water. The Opp mine is but seven
miles in an airline from the artesian
we'll at Talent, and is on the same
formation and slope Of the Siskiyou
mountains as the famous Talent
gusher and 1t is thought that flowing
wells can be readily had.
Mr.. Gunnell has placed his resig-
nation with the Opp Company and
after the first Of August the mine will
be under the sole charge of H. e. Fos
ter. Mr.. Gunnell will then devote
his entire time to other mining prop
critics that he and Mr.. Foster are in
terested in. One of these properties
is the Henry Booth copper claims OF
Pickett reek, and to its development
and equipment with smelter will b.
the first effort of Mr.. Gunnell. He il
confident that this property will be
come one of the great copper pro
ducers of the West. Mr.. Gunnell will
move his family back to Grants Pass
he owning one of the finest residence
] in this city.

them thoroughbreds. Mr.. Carter has
about 200 head on his farm, among
them being number Of registered
Poland China and the others being

land and the readiness with which al.
salfa, corn and other feed can be
grown the time is not distant when
the Illinois Valley will be one of the
