COUNTY CLERK,
CRI ITIClSED
OFFICIAL OF JOHNSON COUNTY is
SAID TO HAVE ENDORSED
BONDS WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
Des Moines Bureau Of
The Ottumwa Courier.

The county clerk of johnson county,
II reports received here are correct,
has been doing something in his off,
cial capacity that is causing trouble
and annoyance in other states and
some discredit on Iowa. There Is some
provision of law whereby a county
clerk may call upon another for a GER
tifcate as to the reliability of sureties
offered on bond and such certificate
Is accepted by one clerk from another.
1t appears that the clerk III Johnson
county has furnished such certificates
to the travelling agents of a jewelry
house at Iowa City and these certifi-
Gates purport to guarantee the charac-
ter Of alleged bonds Of the company
referring to the quality of the jewelry
offered for sale In other states these
bonds have been made use of, with
what appears to be an official indorse-
ment of the matter, and now persons
who feel that they have been victim
lied by the agents are making Inquiries
as to the value of these certificates OF
a county clerk. OF course they are
told tnat the certificates have no value
as guaranteeing the bonds of the goods.
Complaint comes that In this way the
repute of Iowa as a state which is
conservative In all things is better
brought into question.

REPORTS STRIKE or SILVER ORE
(From Fridays Daily)

Dr. j. B. McNally has returned from 'he camp of the Western Queen Mines company, in which concern he is a hcavy stockholdcr, very much clatcd over new strike recently made in one Of the company's mines in n winze at depth of 90 feet from the surface.
 Specimens of the paystrcak, which is an entirely new one, unknown to exist before, although n shaft was sunk 10 depth of over 200 feet short dis. tancc from i,, assays several hundred ounces of silver to the ton, with gold and copper values. The rich part of the paystrcak, which is over three feet m thickness, ranges from three to five inches in thickness, the remainder be. ing milling ore of a high grade. The winze where it was found is being pushed down and the ore body shows every indication that it is n pcrman. ent one.
 On account of tho bad condition of the roads leading to the camp. which IS locatcd in the Turkey Creek district. at Townsend's Butte, operations have been confined to doing the annual work on the twelve claims comprising the group for inc years 1906 and 1901. This work s now about all completed. and with the opening of spring weather, after the rains cease, it is the intention to equip the mine where the rich strike was made with a hoisting plant and increase the working force there.
 The group is situated about six miles south of the Poland terminus of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad and it is the intention of the company later to build new road mp Turkey Creek 10 connect with road from Poland, n distance of two miles, over which the product of the mine and the ore now on the dump will be hauled for ship. mcnt to inc Humboldt shelter.
