members, and from the great body OF
the people, that the message has been
received by all as absolutely sincere,
and as state paper OF great dignity
and power.
On every side is heard Some remark
like that credited to a former pro.
fessor Of civics in great eastern col
lege, who characterized the message
~ the ablest governors message ever
delivered in an American state. There
- now every indication that every
one OF the governors recommended

present legislature. In fact the prin-
cipal measures have aiready been pro-
vided for by bills introduced in one or
both OF the houses.

WILLOW CREEK
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

The new district of Willow Creek,
adjacent to Greenwater, is attracting
a great deal of attention of late, and
many prospectors and business men
are going in there. Some very SUI
perior properties are being opened
up. The discovery on the Greenwater
Baltic is about 1 0 feet in width. 1t
is a surface showing. The ledge is
large, we'll defined, and continues
through the Phelps, Moody, Conley
claim. The latter strike on the Cop
per Head group of Mooney, Conley
and others is fully one-half mile
from the rich Baltic discovery. The
character of the ore is identical. The
average of these strikes are. in cop
|per and lead, for ten feet across the
face of the Baltic discovery, 10.1 per
cent copper and 1875 per cent lead;
on the Mooney-C onley, on surface
across the vein, is 10.1 per cent cop
per and 81 per cent lead.
The showings on the north range
of Willow Creek are in granite and
porphyry. The Nash and Wallace
with adjoining groups have excellent
showings and indications that justify
thorough exploration for demonstra-
ton. That is, the. geological as well
as the ARCHAEOLOGICAL features are
such as to invoke legitimately the
of money and energy to
do the exploring necessary to make
lany producing mine.
The Greenwater Nevada has at
tanned a depth Of 30 feet with two
and one-half feet of heavy pyrite ore
returning gold values.

Des Moines, Aug 9-The blue army
gained the advantage in the maneuvers
this morning, the browns being weak
ened by the loss of brigade, whichI
caused it to fall back. At 3 o'clock itI
was reported that there was little or
no fighting, and because of the armiesI
consisting mainly of raw recruits, both
armies went into camp short dis-I
tance apart.
Bishop, with the blues army, crossed
corydon bridge early this mornings
and Lincoln, on the alarm from hisl
outposts, advanced to meet the blues.I
The blues took a position west of thei
ridge road, and the browns east of theE
road. In this position the main engage-f
ments took place. The fighting START
ed at day break and lasted for several
hours.
All the modern facilities Of warfare
worked perfectly, including the field
telephone and wireless telegraphy. The
signal corps had some difficulty be-
cause of strike Of Des Moines team
sters, who were to haul the equip
ments, but farmers were secured td
help out The fighting will probably
be resumed early tomorrow morning.
