The local democratic organ tries to
make out that the new direct primary
election law is in line with the prin-
ciples Of democracy. That may be true
in the abstract, but in the concrete 1t is
decidedly at variance with democratic
practice and precedent in Nebraska.
The democrats in this city and state
never undertook to bring party nomina-
tions within reach Of the rank and file
until forced to do so by republican legis.
lation. The republicans, on the other
hand, took up with the direct primary
long before required by law to do so.

The World Herald is mistaken when
it assumes that the state senate has
turned down all the demands of the
state university for money for perma-
nent improvements All the senate has
done has been to conhne the university
drafts to the proceeds Of the special
1-mill levy instead of giving an addi-
tional big slice out of the general fund.
There is no danger that the university
will be crippled, its growth INSTRUCTED,
or it's prestige impaired, by keeping the
proportions within the limits of reason.

Bound Over To
Grand Jury

The justice court has been oc-
cupied for several days this week
in conducting the prelimary ex-
animation of R. w. Dewitt and
Sam Pollock, charged with dis
posing of intoxicating liquors to
Indians. The defendants were
charged separately.
Judge Breeze represented the
defendant and Deputy Sheriff
Walker appeared for the state
in the absence of District Attor-
ney Horsey. The testimony of
several Indians were heard and
went to the point of directly
connecting the defendants with
the alleged offense. F. Wam-
bolt, a rancher from Lake VAL
ley, also testified to seeing the
defendants pass a bottle to one
Indian Charlie.
In the case of Dewitt, after
listening to the evidence and
arguments of respective counsel
the Court took the case under
advisement until Friday morning
at 1920 a. m. at which time it
rendered it's decision holding the
defendant Dewitt to answer be-
fore the Grand Jury with bonds
fixed in the sum of five
hundred dollars.
A very interesting point of law
was raised by Judge Breeze in
this case. He contending that
Notwithstanding the fact, that
the government had exercised no
supervision over the person of
these Indians for a number of

Court. This point will be raised

her husband to be interested in

company, and as a last chance
toward getting some of her
back, she asks that the
company be restrained
from delivering any stock to
Gordon. Mrs. Gordon also asks
that she be permitted to resume

genuine surprise. On the 800
foot level cross cut has been
started t0 the foot wall. 1t easily
can be seen that the Prince mine
is being opened in a manner
that is placing an enormous tom
mage available, and it promises
to be one of the largest mines in
all the West.
Mr.. Godbe also brought in with
him some handsome specimens
OF ore from the Susan Duster
mine of the Ohio Kentucky COM
pany. This rock is a true aver
age OF that now being found on
and a few feet below the 3OO-foot
level. A winze has been driven
50 feet below the 300 all the way
In ore, but inasmuch as the cross
cut on the 4OO-foot level, being
sent out from the main shaft,
will tap the same body below
within a very short time, work
on the Wine was discontinued.
A crosscut was driven to the
right of the winze to the hanging
wall, and that side of the vein
was shown to be 27 feet in width.
How great is the distance from
the winze to the foot wall has
not been determined yet. The
ore is a solid sulphide, carrying
an average the entire distance
access the vein of from Is to 20
ounces silver, 8 per cent lead, 20
per cent zinc and $3.50 gold to
the ton. Throughout the vein
are lunches of high-grade rock
from which very high assays can
be obtained if desired.
Mr.. Godbe is certain that there
are few mines in the country
that can show such splendid
values and such enormous guam
titles of rock as these two mines,
and the officials are naturally
delighted with the results of the
past few months development
work. He states that he going
to spend Thanksgiving in this
city, but Immediately after will
leave for Phoebe. There is mol
gloom down that way, everyone
is happy, and the streak of hard |
times and pessimism so apparent |
here and elsewhere in the land |
has not penetrated Phoebe life at
all. He says it is a cheerful
change to reach the camp and
feel the optimism and content
ment in the air.---Salt Lake

Masquerade Ball
A Success.
Many Characters Taken
Which We're Unusually
Well Sustained.

The Thanksgiving Masquerade
ball given by the Phoebe Miners
Union last evening was a most
pronounced success in every
particular. In point of attend
ance, it was the largest that has
been given in Phoebe for a num-
Der of years. The characters
taken were varied and numerous
and as a general rule were well
sustained. The committee, con-
sisting of B. Ellsworth, DR..
Duckworth and Ralph Dewitt,
appointed to award the prizes
gave the first gents prize to Ed.
Hammond, who impersonated a
coon" and did so in a very ex-
cellent manner. The first prize
for the ladies was awarded to
Mrs Alex Orr, she representing
an Indian Chieftess. We have
not space to give special mention
to each character taken and can
only give a few that were the
most prominent. H. H. Bennett
was success as the summer
girl and the attention paid by E.
c. D. Marriage to said summer
girl (?) would certainly lead one
to believe that Bennett made a
great hit with him. Fuller re-
presenting the Pabst and Bud
weiser beer was great, in more
than one way and created a great
sensation from the moment he
entered the hall. 1t was stated
by the judges that they would
have awarded the first prize to
Fuller had he been present
sooner, he arriving just before
the unmasking. Fuller was
ably assisted in the carrying out
of the character by Mr.. Bowman.
John Shier while not enmask has
not been accustomed to such
sights and could not refrain from
'butting in" H. E. Prudential
with a new creation in
the hat line, which would GER
talnly mean a fortune for the
inventor, had it been introduced
at Easter time, and the hose he
wore were simply ''out of sight. "
Among other characteres repre-
sented were the Phoebe Baseball
,eam, the Scottish Highlanders,
Red Cross nurses, sailors, soldiers
Spanish and French dancers. and
others.
Taken altogether the ball was
! success in every way and was
credit to the people and those |
n charge and we conclude by !
expressing hope that we may
'e favored with many such high
lass and entertaining dances in
he future.

VIM. Kane Dies
At Panaca

VIM Kane died at Panaca
Thursday last. Kane had been
in Phoebe for some time, but had
become in an almost helpless
condition, so it was thought ad-
visable by the officers to send
him to his relatives in order that
he might receive proper atten-
lion.
Kane was raised in Panaca,
and his father, John Kane, was
at one time sheriff of Lincoln
county, holding that position
during the time that Phoebe was
infested with it's worse element:
and while sheriff, he won a rep
utation for himself as being a
brave and fearless officer, who
had at once the fear and admir-
alton of this tough element.

Where Tonnage Is Made Fast.
Veins Rich In Values

Developments of spendid i'm
port are taking place continual,
in the Pioche district of Nevads
although very few details ever
/" happen to reach local circles,
Ernest H. Godbe, manager OF
the Ohio o-Kentucky and the
Prince mines of that section, is
in, Salt Lake City for a few days,
and with him he brought some
extremely fine rock and encour-
aging news regarding both these
noted old producers. The Prince
is more than surprising the fond
est expectations of the officials
OF the company, and the work
on the great vein showing UP re-
suits that could hardly have been
anticipated.
In the first place, as pointed
out by Mr.. Godbe, this great
vein is any where from 100 to
25O feet in with. At the point
where the former width obtains,
the management has been send
ing an incline shaft to depths,
and not knowing exactly just the
dip of the veill, the incline at the
100-foot level or thereabouts
tapped the hanging wall. The
entire incline was in ore. At
this level a crosscut for the foot
wall was started, and it is still
enroute, Up to the time Mr..
Godbe left the mine, a distance
of n feet in this crosscut has
been driven, the face still in ore.
The whole distance, he states,
averaged 10 per cent lead. 7
ounces silver and 80 per cent ex-
cess iron to the ton. Through
out the whole vein SO far devel-
oped are rich streaks and bunch
es of ore that run into bonanza
attitudes.
The hanging wall was then
followed down to the 33O-foot
level, the incline passing through
the upper stratum of lime into
the second stratum of shale.
The incline at $50 feet encount-
cred in the shale a rich streak of
ore, the same being from 6 to 10
feet in thickness. This ore has
not been assayed. but from other
ore exactly similar found else
where in the property, Mr.. |
Godbe is certain that it will carry

silver per ton. The finding of
