ORDERS RECOUNT OF ALL THE VOTES.
Entire State to Be Gone Over on Tax
and Road Amendments.

and Road Amendments.
A recount of the vote cast in the
entire state for the tax and road and
bridge fund amendments at the
last general election, will be made
50 soon as the three new commits
sioners appointed by the district
court can make it.
Acting upon the resignation of
George H. Claypool, Charles w.
Somerby and Lyndon A. Smith,
who, under the direction of the
district court of this county re-
couted the votes cast in the Duluth
district for the amendments, Judge
Dibell filed an order appointing
William Mckay of Duluth, E. L.
Thornton of Benson, Minn., and A.
B. Hilton of Fergus Falls to con-
tinue the recount of the entire state,
with instructions to start on the
work so soon as possible, and with
in ten days at any event.
The three men named filed bonds
with the clerk of the district court
Saturday, and will begin the re-
count this week. Just where the
commissioners will start is not
definitely known, but the Twin
Cities will probably be canvassed
first, as the Duluth district has al
ready been gone over.
It was generally believed after
the recount of the Duluth district
by which it was shown that great
number of votes cast for the road
and bridge fund amendment had
been counted as having been cast
for the tax amendment, that the ap.
peal to the Legislature to order a
recount of the vote cast in the en-.
tire state would be granted, but the
lawmaking body 80 far has taken
no action. The appointment of the
three new commissioners came
after H. H. Phelps, attorney fol-
Samual G. McConaughty and F. A
Watkins who asked for the recount
petitioned the court to continue the
trial of the case until a recount 81
the state had been made. i.
Itwas deemed that the results OF
the recountsine this district did no,
conclusively show although it was
generally believed, that the votes
cast for the road and bridge fund
amendment, resulted in the former
being declared lost and the latter
adopted. The court order issued
by Judge Dibbell yesterday, com.
mands the county auditors of the
various counties in the state, to
allow the commissioners to make
recount of the ballots.
The work will necessarily require
some months, and the cases there
fore have been postponed until the
latter part of June, in order to allow
the petitioners to recure sufficient
evidence.

Marsh and Ralph Hance were elected

Strike In Florence Extension.
Ralph Hance and George w. Holmes,
working on what is claimed to be an
extension of the Florence mine at
Keystone for the International Mining
company, are much elated over a
strike of rich gold ore at a depth of
about seventy-five feet,the vein at pres
ent being well marked and twenty in
ches in width. We shall all hear good
reports from the Medicine Bow range
during the season. The Sunday night

MILL TALK
Is REVIVED
WALL STREET PAPER REFERS TO
RUMoR OF MANUFACTURE
OF STEEL RAILS HERE.
Almost Identical With Report Sent
From New York Several Months
Ago and Reproduced In These Col
umnstIron Ore Said to Be Of Very
Low Grade at Iron Mountain.

Papers In the east have revived the
talk Of converting the Laramie rolling
mills into a mill for the manufacture
Of steel rails. Several months ago an
Associated Press dispatch was sent
from Wall street to this effect, which
was reproduced in The Republican at
the time. The following from Satur-
days Denver Times Is almost identical
with that report:
Wall etrset Paper Quoted.
The Wall Street Journal. published
In New York. Is authority for the
statement that the Union Pacific Rail-
road company is preparing to enlarge
its rolling mills at Laramie. Wyo. and
transform them into q big steel plant
The company is said to have discov-
cred immense beds Of iron ore in Iron
mountain, forty miles north Of Chey-
enne, and If the plans are carried out
the Union Pacific will build a branch
from North Platte to this mountain to
haul the ore to Laramie. This noun
tain has been known to contain ore
but experts Of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company say that 1t has been
generally considered Of a low grade.
Operated by Union Pacific.
The rolling mills at Laramie were
formerly operated by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, under lease
from E. H. Hartman. The lease vas
discontinued about two years ago,
since which time the mills have been
operated by the Union Pacific. In the
past they have been principally used
for working over the scrap iron &C
cumulated by the road. There was
gone talk OF the construction of a big
steel plant at Laramie at the time e.
H. Hartman was fighting George
Gould for possession of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company. Hartman is
quoted as saying that his plans are to
manufacture at Laramie all of the rails
used on all of the Hartman roads.
